Big Stu-ey: World Series Champs and Think About it Thursday · Stugotz and Company

• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Our thanks to Chris Sims for joining us earlier. The
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: baseball season concluded last night. The Milwaukee Brewers are the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: World Series champions for the first time in franchise history.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Were you guys happy to see the Rays lose?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Did you care? What did you guys think?
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: I was happy for the Brewers and seeing the Brewers
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: in their celebration. William Contreras was probably who I was
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: the happiest for, where he hits. 381 with four RBIs.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: He wins World Series MVP. Stu, one of the greatest
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: calendar years in baseball history, where he wins the World
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Baseball Classic with Venezuela, helping Venezuela win the first World
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Baseball Classic championship in their history. And then he wins
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: the World Series MVP, helping the Brewers be the first
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: time in their franchise history, too.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: And he also came out afterwards and said, because he's
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: feeling good about himself, I'm the best catcher in the world.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: He might be. Prove him wrong. I would give you
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a second catcher, but I don't have one off the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: top of my head. Who is the second best catcher
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball behind Wilson Contreras?
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's a good question.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: It's a job for Ricardo. Where's Ricardo when you need him?
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: He's saying Cal Raleigh, big dumper, but Cal Raleigh.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: One hit wonder.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Ryan Jeffers, maybe in Minnesota.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Cal Raleigh was great last year, but awful this year. Um,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: so you agree with Contreras that he is the best
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: catcher on the planet.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: I think by default, I don't know how you argue.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: It's such a great thing to say because we love
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: sports and we can't make an argument about Against Wilson Contreras.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: So, Stu, an all-time bailout moment yesterday where Jacob Mizorowski
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: takes the ball and Jacob Mizorowski throws five and two-thirds
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: scoreless innings. He was dominating Tampa. The Rays had no
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: answers for him. He was forced out of the game
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: after 86 pitches with a calf crap. Now, this is
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the moment that every pitcher dreams about. You don't know
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: if you're ever going to get another opportunity to pitch
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: in the World Series again. Jacob Mizorowski, you simply cannot
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: leave a World Series clinching game because of cramps. I
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: don't care if your calf is cramping. I don't care
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: if you need a banana, some pickle juice, an IV.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: You have to stay in that game and figure it out.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Or if you're going to come out, give us something
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: worse than a cramp in the calf, you know? I mean,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: imagine Andy Pettit coming out of a game in the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: World Series. Five and two-thirds because his calf is cramping
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: up on him. He wouldn't even tell the manager. He
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: would just keep throwing pitches. That's what he would do.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: You muster up all your strength for one more pitch,
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: and then you purposely roll your ankle, and you'd be like, nope, guys,
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: it's the ankle. The ankle's the problem. And you don't
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: say a word about the calf until you're safely underneath
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: the dugout with the trainer. And you just go, my
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: ankle's fine.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: I'm cramping.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's like a sports whisperer where he whispers, it's
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the calf, it's cramping up, but we can't tell anyone.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Tell them I broke a rib.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: But credit to Mizorowski where he does deliver his best
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: start of the postseason in the biggest game of his
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: career before he has to leave. Stu, I'm not sure
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: if you saw this. After the game, Jake Bowers gifted
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Pat Murphy the final out ball. And Murphy thanked him,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: and he told him, you're going to be a rich bleeper.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Just remember when you're on that horseshit Yankee team and
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: you're all playing for yourselves, just remember this is the
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: way we used to do it. Now, there's some debate online.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Was Pat Murphy saying, remember this when you're on the Yankees,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: meaning future tense, or remember when you were on the
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Yankees past tense? Because Bowers was on the Yankee team
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: in 2023 when that Yankee team missed the playoffs.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: He's using the Yankees as a symbol. He could have
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: said the Dodgers. He could have said the Red Sox.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: He could have said the Dodgers.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Well, a big market team. He just knows that the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Brewers are not going to have enough money to sign
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Bowers to a long-term deal. And he's just trying to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: tell them, hey, enjoy what it is we have here.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Because when you go elsewhere, it will never feel this
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: good and this close again. Because he knows what we
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: all know. The Brewers can't afford to keep Bowers. When
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: their guys get good, they get going elsewhere, and that's
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: what happens with the Milwaukee Brewers. They're never going to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: trade for Scooble. The Dodgers are. But they could say
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: it doesn't guarantee anything. You could spend all the money
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: in the world. It doesn't guarantee you a World Series title.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: We just won it, and we didn't get Scooble, and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: we did it on a far lesser budget than the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Dodgers and Yankees.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: So as a Yankee fan, do I think it's strange
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: that moments after reaching the pinnacle of your sport— You're
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: thinking about the New York Yankees, who weren't even involved
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: in this series?
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Do I care that Pat Murphy is using the Yankees
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: to dunk on the Yankees and calling them out for
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the joke that they are?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: No.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I'm on Pat Murphy's side, and I'm encouraging more people
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: to call out the Yankees and how big of a
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: joke the Yankees are with Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Murphy, all I thought about as he was
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: winning a World Series was when he was a candidate,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and you told me the story, Taylor, a candidate for
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the Mets job. And all the comments that Met fans
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: made online about who the hell is Murphy.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, well, he's a World Series champion now. That's
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: who he is.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: To be fair, if they hired Pat Murphy during that cycle,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: he probably lasts two seasons and they run him out
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: of town after the first time. After the first sniff
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: of unsuccessful seasons.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I know you, Taylor. You love Pat Murphy.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: You love.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Pat Murphy is baseball.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Pat Murphy.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: Looks like an old catcher's mitt.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Wait, put it on the poll. Does Pat Murphy look
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: like an old catcher's mitt? That is laugh out loud funny. Also,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: is Pat Murphy baseball?
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: So, the thing that I love about the Brewers, and
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Pat Murphy especially, the Brewers don't need a lineup full
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: of $ 25 million players to beat teams with significantly more
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: expensive rosters because... Pat Murphy has built a culture of accountability.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Like he's as old school manager can get where you
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: look at earlier examples from this year, William Contreras, who
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: we're talking about potentially being the best catcher in baseball.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: He failed. He's talking about it. Yeah.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: But I think more people are talking about it, but
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Contreras earlier this year, I think in either August or September,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: he failed to run hard on a routine ground ball
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: in a game against the Phillies. And, and, Pat Murphy,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: he immediately pulled Contreras, and the next game, Contreras hits
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: a soft ground ball, and he's diving headfirst into first
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: base trying to prove to his manager that he's willing
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: to hustle. You have somebody like Cooper Pratt, who Cooper Pratt,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: 22 years old, took this World Series by storm. He
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: removed Cooper Pratt from a game earlier in August when
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Pratt can't get down a sacrifice bunt. And then me
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: and Mikey, we're watching Pat Murphy hold players accountable. Me
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: and Mikey have to watch Trent Grisham half-ass every play.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: We watch Jazz Chisholm play the infield with a damn
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: lollipop in his mouth. And all we're asking is for
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: a little accountability, and that's all Pat Murphy does.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: You're asking for Murphy, yes.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, Trent Grisham was so bad and the Yankees
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: held him accountable by batting him leadoff.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Congratulations, Trent Grisham. Your laziness. This is what we're going
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: to do. We're going to reward you.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: What makes Pat Murphy so sure that Pat Murphy's not
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: going to be the Yankees manager?
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the problem.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: Brian Cashman would never bring.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Somebody into the building who's going to challenge him. Brian
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Cashman only hires yes-men. If Pat Murphy tried to get
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: into the Yankees building, they would.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Never allow him in. Yes. Do you guys know how
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: enjoyable it is for me to watch two Yankee fans
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: be upset and jealous over the Milwaukee Brewers?
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: It's a different time.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Indiana is the top of the college football.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Milwaukee's winning World Series against the Tampa Bay.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Northwestern's a good winning college football.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, never went away from making a playoff. That's
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: why I have boots on the ground in Chicago. I mean,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the heartland of America. This is where everything's happening.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: We might send you to Milwaukee next. You're right there.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, parade?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Yes. Me and Murph.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Get him on the show.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Make it happen. I could tell you a guy who
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: would love Pat Murphy and does. That's Christopher Mad Dog Russo.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: He is doggies. That's doggies type of manager right there, right?
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: A guy who looks like an old catcher's mitt. Mikey,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that's such a good line. But, Mikey, I'm not certain
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: if you're aware of this. I'm going to play this
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: sound for you. Christopher Mad Dog Russo was on the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: show with us earlier this week, and Taylor had a
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: suggestion for doggie. about what's the segment he does here
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: on First Take, Taylor? Mad About. All right, about Mad About.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: And so let's play that sound first. This is Christopher
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Mad Dog Russo on with us earlier this week.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Dog, the Brewers are one win away from their first
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: World Series. Did it bother you last night watching that
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: game when it's 10-0, Yandy Diaz bat-flipping an RBI double
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: that made the score 10-1?
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: I didn't even see that.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Did he really? You have Doggie up at 10-0 World
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Series on a Monday?
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: I was watching the Dallas, and I went to bed
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: when the Cowboys kicked the field goal at 31-21 because
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: I wanted to get up and be sharp for you.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: I did not.
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a good man about he bat flipped that
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: at 10 nothing.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yes. Yes.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: What do you think was that eighth inning?
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: The ninth inning. I had one hit up to that point.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: Terrible.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: I know that's ridiculous.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Listen, if you want Taylor to produce your man about
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: he will do it all day, all night.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, I got to see that. Was it really
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: was it really bad?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, it was bad, though.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he pimped it. Did Smoltz say anything about it?
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: No, they kind of just breezed right past it because
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: it was more of a feel-good story for the Brewers
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: because Woodruff was pitching.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: Right, because he hadn't pitched. Yeah, that is ridiculous.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: It's bad, though.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: I will definitely use that. Nice job, Taylor.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Good job. All right, so he said he would definitely
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: use it. I love that he's gathering information on the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: fly from Taylor and from me about that situation.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Let's now fast-forward a couple of days. Here is Doggy
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: on first take. It's 10-0.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: This is game three of the World Series. And he
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: flips the bat like he won the... This is the
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life. Listen, you've
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: got to have a little sense. If you're flipping about
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: the eighth inning, you hit a two-run homer, flip it
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: into the freaking move.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: I have no problem with it.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: But my God, you.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: Are down 10-0 in a World Series game.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: You've gotten one hit.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: And that's Woodruff, who hasn't pitched forever.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: And everybody likes him. He's had a million injuries.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Show him a little respect.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, my goodness.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: First time he hasn't hit at all in this World Series.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: I bet Tampa. So that bothers me.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: But gee whiz, that 10-0. Maybe a little more decorum
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: when your team's getting blown out in a World Series game.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: That shocked me.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: That is number two.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Taylor Terrikson.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: What a special moment for you.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, by the way, Doggie gave that take. Again,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: just a reminder, he was on with us a couple
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: of days earlier. He was sleeping when it happened.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: So yesterday when I was watching first take, it was
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: like when you're sitting at a movie theater and somebody
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: in the movie says the title and you're like, oh,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: there's the title. That's exactly how I felt. Like I
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: knew I set Mad Dog up with the assist.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: And once he delivered it, I was like, there's my star.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Did you feel like he needed to give you some
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: credit there? My guy Taylor told me about this. No.
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: No.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Mad Dog could have any take he wants from me
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: for the rest of eternity.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: It's an honor.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I don't expect thank you. What's enough for me is
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: when he joins us and he goes, good point, Taylor.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: When Dog says good point, Taylor, my year is made.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: You're good. Dog knows that he got it from you.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: You know that you gave it to Dog. You know
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: that Dog used it on first take, and therefore you
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: are good. You don't need any sort of credit. You
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: are fine. Just you and him know, okay? And that's it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: And that's one of the highest honors in sports media
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: is having Doggie take one of your takes and using
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: it on a larger platform.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: So, Harry, if I could channel my Mad Dog history references,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Harry S. Truman, the 33rd president of the United States,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: it is amazing what you could accomplish if you do
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: not care who gets the credit.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I got 20 years of proof behind that. So that's
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: a special moment.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Mikey, I texted him yesterday because we had Bob Costas on,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: and he loves Costas. And I said, you had a
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: conversation with Bob Costas today, special day. And Taylor responded,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: not to that. He just responded, but dog used my
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: take on first take. So for him, that's what made
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: it a special day. I think the combination of talking
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: to Costas and having doggy use your take on first
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: take is what made it special. It is a Think
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: About It Thursday here. So no radio, but we'll be
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: back on radio tomorrow. Izzy is going to join us,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: but it is Thursday, and on Thursdays we like to think.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: So let's do a Think About It Thursday here before
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: we get out of here for the day. Give us
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the imaging, please.
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: You know that segment, Talk About It Tuesday, on Hockman, Crowder,
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: and Solero? This is like that, but bigger. Bigger.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: And better.
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: And 48 hours later, this is Think About It Thursday.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: All right, this is Taylor's attempt to counter-program a local
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: show down in Miami, Hockman, Solano, and Crowder.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: What do you have for us today?
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: So it's funny that you should mention Bob Costas. Since
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: we had Bob Costas on, that's what made me think
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: about this for Think About It Thursday. What announcers would
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: you want for a specific situation? So I'm going to
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: give you guys the situation, and you tell me what
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: announcer you would want to deliver said situation.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, good.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: First situation, a walk-off home run.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Wow. Walk-off home run. Hmm. World Series walk-off or just
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: your run-of-the-mill walk-off?
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: We could do a World Series.
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, you have an answer, Mikey? It's not going to
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: be Joe Davis, right? No, no.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: I'm leaning.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: I think I'm leaning Boog Shambi.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: He's got a great home run call.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: Joe Buck is up there.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Joe Buck is up there. Joe Buck was the
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: first name I thought of was Joe Buck. I know
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Boog has a great home run call, but Joe Buck.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: A moment of that magnitude needs to have Joe Buck
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: calling it, at least for me, in baseball. That would
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: be the guy.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: I'll give you Joe Buck. Joe Buck does something in
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: baseball that so few do very well. He lets the
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: moment breathe. He doesn't feel like he needs to talk.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: We'll see you tomorrow night and just let the crowd
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: do the work. I love it.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Joe Buck's the answer. Vince Scully.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: That's who Ricardo just suggested.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we're kind of leaving out the greatest
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: baseball broadcaster of all time.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: But does it walk off? I think I want Joe
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: Buck more than Vince Scully. But calling a game, calling
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: a season, I want Vince Scully.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Without question, I want Vince Scully calling every
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: baseball game for the remainder of time. But for a
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: walk-off spot, I would still go Vince Scully, now that
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it. I would go with Vince Scully.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: All right, next one, Taylor.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: The next situation is a buzzer beater in the NBA Finals.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Wow. Bang.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: That's all I'm going to say. Bang.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Bang. Yep. It's Marv Albert, I think, right? Or it's
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Mike Breen. I'm going to go with Mike Breen.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Would Kevin Harlan like a word?
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Kevin Harlan would like a word.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: He probably would, and he belongs in the conversation. I'm
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: still going to say Breen.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not certain Kevin Harlan is not the most underrated
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: play-by-play guy in the history of our industry.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: That's how good he is. He's not good.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: He is great. But I would still want Bang in
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: that spot.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: So I feel like we're going to have the same
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: consensus on this next one. A putt to win a major.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Nance.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Nance. Yeah.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yes. Keep it moving. Yes.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: And the journal on quiz would like a word, but
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Nance wins.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: No. He wouldn't like a word. Nance.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Those are Nance's words. And he needs to be calling that.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: The next one.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: The hockey golden goal in overtime. Let's keep it consistent
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: and say Stanley Cup finals.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Doc Emmerich.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: I don't even know why we're discussing it.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: It's Doc. Kenny Albert.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Would Kenny Albert like a word?
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Kenny Albert might like a word.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: And I'm sure Kenny Albert might even say Doc Emmerich.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Kenny Albert would choose Doc Emmerich. I think Bob Costas
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: would choose Doc Emmerich. I know Al Michaels would choose
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Doc Emmerich. And Kenny Albert and Al Michaels have called
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: the two most famous hockey games in the history of
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the sport.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: And they would both choose, I guarantee you, they would
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: both choose Doc Emmerich.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: And it's the right choice.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: So I wrote down for me Sam Rosen, but I
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: understand why other people wouldn't write Sam Rosen because it's
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: the same thing for my walk-off home run. I wrote
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: down John Sterling and Michael Kess.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Yes. Sam Rosen would say, by the way, your dad
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: is a barber, cuts his hair. Sam Rosen would say,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I don't want to call that. Doc Emmerich needs to
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: call that. That's what he would say.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, he would. I'm telling you.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: The next one is a game-winning touchdown for a big
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: upset or national title in college football.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: College football.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Ball time here, huh? Yep.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Because for me, I am between two people. I'm between
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Brent Musburger.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: That was my first guess.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: And I'm between.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: And Keith Jackson. Ooh.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Keith Jackson is on this list, but... I had Sean McDonough.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: I feel like Sean McDonough, he meets the moment, and
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: there's some times where McDonough's voice cracks, and you would
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: be like, I don't want to hear my announcer's voice cracking,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: but it cracks at the perfect amount to be like,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: oh my God, this is the moment.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: I feel bad for Sean McDonough cause he could probably
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: finish second on every single one of these lists and never,
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: he's always a bridesmaid, never a bride because he is
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: so versatile. He does it all so well. But when
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: you say college football, I immediately, my, my initial thought,
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: Brent Musburger.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Uh, I would go just to keep it different here,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: just to be different. Brent's a great choice.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not certain, but Keith Jackson, when I think college
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: football and the great play-by-play voices of all time, for me,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: it's Keith Jackson.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Would Tessitore like a word?
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: He would. But, again. He would. He'd like a word. Yes,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I think Joe Tess would tell you Brent Musburger, yes. Now, listen, Gladiators,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I would want Joe Tess. Some weird, you know, mini-putting
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: game like Steph Curry had, maybe Joe Tess. But no,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: not Joe Tess for this. No, this is reserved for
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: one of two people, and that's Musburger or Keith Jackson.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: The last one that I have for today's Think About
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: It Thursday.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: As a Hail.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Mary in the Super Bowl, let's up the ante and
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: let's say a Hail Mary in the Super Bowl to
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: win the Super Bowl.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: I have a question. I have a follow-up, Izzy style.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: Do I get this person at their peak?
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Then give me Al Michaels. You would assume you're getting
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Vince Scully at his peak and not Vince Scully today.
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: Yes, I would imagine. I'll take Al Michaels then.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I've spent the entire time thinking about if an actual
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl ended on an actual Hail Mary.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: It would be Rodgers, right?
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: It has to be. Oh, yes. Yes, he's the greatest
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: thrower of the Hail Mary of all time. Put it
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: on the bowl. You're going Al Michaels there, huh? Mm-hmm.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, Musburger called games.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: In the 80s. He was great at it.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: I already picked Musburger for something else.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: I think Harlan again would like a word.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: He would. He would.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: And I could be convinced, but I'm going to go Al.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I could be.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: The problem is what we're getting with Al right now
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: is a lot different than what Al I'm talking about.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, but I'm not certain Harlan wouldn't be the guy
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I would want calling the NBA final shot. I know
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: we said bang Mike Breen, it's easy, but Kevin Harlan
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: might be the best caller of basketball I've ever heard.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: He's unbelievable. Wow, I don't know who to choose here.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: So in this situation, since I know he doesn't call
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: like Super Bowls per se, but the situation, a Hail
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Mary to win the Super Bowl, are you considering Gus Johnson?
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I am, yes. Just for that play. Like whoever's calling
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: the game comes out of the booth, they go to
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a pen. Like a reliever, yes. Yes. and Gus Johnson
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: comes in just to call that final play the Hail
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Mary in the.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Event that it's a touchdown. I'm good with that. In fact,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: we should start doing that in broadcasting.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: I got them in two booths, and the guy just
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: takes the sliders and goes, whoop, let's pop that one
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: down and that one up on this play.
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Like, meaning I could see, like, Vince Scully, you guys
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: are right, Vince Scully calling all the games, but that
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: walk-off homer, you got to go to the bed, and
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Vince Scully would never be taken out, but he would
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: have to come out, and someone else would have to
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: come in and call it, you know?
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Listen, Mike Monaco, you've done a great job. through three
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: quarters and most of the fourth quarter. Here comes our
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: enter Sandman, our Mariano Rivera.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not certain Gus shouldn't be calling all the final calls,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: all the biggest plays across sports, except for golf. That's
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Nance's territory.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: We should work on an app where it's just a
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: big calls app, where once a game gets to a
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: big call, Gus Johnson is just waiting somewhere. It's almost
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: like Red Zone, but you're reverse engineering it to where
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: the situation has to reach a certain level, and then
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: once it reaches a certain threshold, Gus Johnson is now
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: calling it.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: So why are we doing it on an app, though?
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Because we need the technology, I think.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: So you want to create an app where we.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: The biggest calls in the history of sports, whoever called them,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the voice is replaced by Gus Johnson? No, no, no.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: So, okay, now I see the confusion.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: So this app you keep with you in case a
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: game reaches a big moment, like current games. Like say
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: we're watching USC-Ohio State this weekend, and it's coming down
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: to the last two minutes. We have Gus Johnson on demand.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: somewhere in a booth, and he's getting ready to call
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: the USC-Ohio State game. So you just mute your TV,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: you turn on the app, and now Gus Johnson's calling
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: the game you're watching currently on TV.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: So if you stay on TV, you're not getting Gus Johnson,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: but if you use the app, you are getting Gus Johnson.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: Correct, correct.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Gus on demand. Because there has to be choices here.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: What if Gus Johnson is calling another game, though?
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: No, this is the point. Gus Johnson has to live
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: in our booth.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: Gus Johnson on demand.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I like the idea. Get on it.
