  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, back on the radio, and I'm excited to

  Speaker 3: be in for Stue today. Thank you for the opportunity.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Let's get into it, Taylor, Mike Da You know I

  Speaker 3: listen to you guys all the time. Now that's the
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: show that I listened to. You know, since I no
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: longer do a radio show, this has become my show.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: So it's weird to be here as opposed to driving
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: or listening on the free iHeart app. So very happy
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: to be You're gonna have a lot of fun today,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: a lot of topics to get into, and I just
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: want to start right off to gate with the Dexter
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Lauren stuff. You know, we were talking about this a
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: little bit last night, and it's not just about Dexter
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Lawrence and the Giants. To me, think about it. In
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: any sport, I don't care what sport it is. Shouldn't
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: you be in the business of acquiring good players and
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: then developing those players, and then keeping those players. If
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: you put yourself in a position as an organization that
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: you have to trade those players because they're unhappy for
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: whatever reason, I think you have already failed. And a
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: big part of why John horrible everybody's talking about horriball
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: the greatest thing ever, the greatest coach. And I do
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: think it was a great hire. But a big part
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: of that should be because you figure, well, you know what,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: dex Lawrence had a down year year ago. He's one
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: of the best tackles in the sport. You would think
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: John Horball coming in would maximize his potential, not be
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: in a position where, oh there's some turmoil, some problems
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: here with Dexter Lawrence and the Giants. I wouldn't be
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: in the business of giving them up. I don't care
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: what the cost is.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: If you want to win this year, and that's what
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Harball said, you want to win this year, you better
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: make sure you pay him because there's nobody in that draft,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: especially this year's draft, that's going to replace what Dexter
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Lawrence could do.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Sal correct me if I'm wrong, and I agree with
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: you one hundred percent, but weren't you one of the
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: guys that gave me flack for when I said the
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: same thing when the Jets traded away Quentin Williams and
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Sauce Gardner, I.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: Said, it's not about the return.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they got all those picks, but when you have
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: guys that are supposed to be some of the best
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: at their position, you don't let those guys leave.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: You try and get those guys right.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: But Mike, yeah, you realize the big gass here, right,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: the Jets.
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: The Jets did. The Jets stink.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: The Jets did the right thing. Listen, I said, you
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: failed as an organization if you put yourself in a
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: spot where you have to get rid of those guys,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: that's the spot that Jets wins. So I give the
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Jets credit. And we've seen other teams have this issue before.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Jets have been doing it forever, dating
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: back to Darrel Revis and the thought was, well, okay,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: you trade Derel Reeves. Well now they're just going to
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: draft a corner. How'd that work out with Dean Milner?
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: So it's the same thing, you don't The Jets weren't
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: a different spot a year ago, which is why I
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: thought it was the right move because they had already
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: failed as an organization not being able to maximize what
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Williams or Sauce Gardner can do. The Giants right now
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: with Harball should be able to maximize what Dexel Lawrence
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: can do.
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: Sal And it also feels like correct me if I'm wrong.
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: The Giants expectations are to compete in year one under Harball,
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: where the Jets really don't have those expectations, and it's
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: more about maximizing the capital that you can get for
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: some of those players in return.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the point, right. The Jets are the spot
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: where they need to rebuild. Their timeline is not going
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: to be with Quinn Williams and Sauz Gardener winning. They
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: want to restock the form. And by the way, good
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: luck with that. All the draft picks that they got
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: this year's draft. Look at it. Look at the top
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: of the draft. It's like, Eh, I don't know, I
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: like this guy, and he's all right, yeah he could
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: be Okay. That's how they're going to rebuild their team.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: And what the Giants is different because Harball comes in
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and they want to win.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: He said that we are going to make a priority
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: to win every game. I'm paraphrasing, I forget the exact quote.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Forgive me we want to win every single game. Well,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: if that's the case, you don't trade a guy like
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Dexel Lawrence. And think of it this way. Look around
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: the league. Pick any team in the league that is
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: serious about winning. If a player the caliber of Dexter
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Lawrence becomes available, they're gonna be all in on a
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: player like that. That's how you know.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: Is this another? Is another?
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: Is this another failed attempt by their GM Joe Shane
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: to sort of put his foot down with a star
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: player and said, you're not gonna dictate this to me.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: Look what I did to Saquan.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: The problem is that Joe Shane and the Giants, prior
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: to Horrball's arrival, put themselves in a bad spot as
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: a franchise letting go of Dexel Lawrence's best balls on
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: one want to win super Bowls afterward, and Lawrence is
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: sitting there saying last year was a down year. There's
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: no issues about it. But if you take I guarantee
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: you if he does truly become available, other teams that
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: know what they're doing are going to say, we want
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: this guy because he could change our front line. He
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: can change our entire defense. That's what winning football teams do.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: They take advantage of the teams like like the Jets.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry to say it, but that's what winning football
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: teams do. They go out there and get the good players.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: And it happens in all sports. That's why I wanted
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: to start with this toy. It could be baseball too,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: the same thing. Oh, this team can't pay this guy.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: The Tigers aren't going to pay school Ball. Oh guess
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: what whose fault is that? That's your own fault. And
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: now the other teams, the rich teams are gonna feast
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: off of you. It's been going on forever in sports.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: And if the New York Giants, big blue, big bad
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: New York Giants want to consider themselves a top high
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: end organization like they were in the past and like
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: they should be now with Harball, I don't think that
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: being in a position where you, for whatever reason, you
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: can't pay Dex Lawrence and you have to trade him,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: that's a weak position. I wouldn't expect that to be
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: the case with Harball. You're never going to get the
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: proper return for a guy like that, certainly not in
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: this draft, and certainly not for a team that's talking
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: about winning now.
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: And if you've heard Harball talk about Lawrence's importance to
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: the Giants, it feels like a non story where Lawrence's
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: problems with the Giants don't have to do with the
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: coaching staff, it doesn't have to do with his role.
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: It just can you guys meet me at this dollar amount?
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: And then it kind of comes down to if Harball
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: wants Dexter Lawrence, the Giants are going to keep Dexter Lawrence.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I would think that this is a horriball decision, which
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: makes me feel comfortable about it, right, I have to
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: trust horriball. Now, if Harball says the biggest question to me,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: wouldn't I want the player? I believe in the player.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: But if Harbaugh doesn't and he thinks that dex Lawrence
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: isn't motivated, I'm choosing to look at it from he
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: just wants to get paid. He feels underpaid. And there's
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: no excuse for last year. I mean, he was out
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: of shape, he said all the wrong things. So that
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: could be a deterrent, right if it were Brian Dable
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: here or a rookie head coach. Then I'd be saying
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: maybe they should move on from dex Lawrence and you
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: trade him to a spot where a proven head coach,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Sean Payton, Andy Reid, Sean mcvagh, whatever, pick a proven
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: head coach that's going to make the most of what
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: he can bring. But being that you have horriball here,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: one of the first thoughts that I had was instantly, okay, good,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Dexel Lawrence is now going to be fixed. If Harball
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: can't do it, who can. So the Giant should be
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: in a spot where they need to keep their player.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: And the other thing is what would be the return
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: of if you're trading a player like dexe Lawrence. Magnitude?
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Is the return? Really? Word that even if you believe,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: let's say you believe that Dexel Lawrence isn't going to
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: be motivated and it's negative thing last year with him
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: being out of shape and saying the things that he said,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: and he's not passionate about football. He just wants the money.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: And you're on that side of it, you're gonna trade
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: him for what are you getting anywhere near the proper
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: value for him? Like for me, that caliber player that
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: type of game wrecker. He should be two ones and
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: they'd be lucky to get a one. I would think it.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's gonna be a late one. So there's a
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: lot that goes into this when you talk about the
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: value of the player, the motivation of the player, the
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: history of the player. But isn't that a big part
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: This is not a rebuild. Isn't that a big part
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: of why Hardball was here? If you have a great
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: head coach like that, a super Bowl winning head coach
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: who's built a sustained, successful organization before, wouldn't you think
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: that the best thing to do use any sport period,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: the best thing to do wouldn't that be to keep
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: the good player. Hard enough to find the good player.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: And we know when you talk about New York football,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: of course, but in general, hard enough to find the
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: good player. Will you identify one in the draft? Then
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: hard enough to develop him into a stud. Then he
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: becomes a stud, you can't move on from him. That's
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: a failure. Is an organ If the Giants have to
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: trade Dexter Lawrence, they have failed before Harball even coached
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: a game with the New York Giants.
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: Is it is it?
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: Are we doing too much.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: You guys gotta tell me. Should should we learn to
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: know what we were talking about? What do you think
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: dex Lawrence diet is? Do you think you came you
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: came out of the gate so hot that we are
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: so not used to this.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: I love it, I love it, but I'm out of
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: practice with Let me ask you this, is it a
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: question if Dexter Lawrence, who's only twenty eight years old,
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: if they say, you know what, go ahead and get
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: your trade, go and get your your big contract.
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: Is that John Harbaugh saying I don't think this is
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: the play. I don't think this player can be what
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: we saw.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: Because if he can be what he saw, there is
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: no way in hell Harball allows that talent from that position,
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: because because he could do something that so few can do.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: I saw a stat like he has one hundred and
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: seventy one pressures from the nose position and the next
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: highest was like twenty eight over over, like the course.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: Of two seasons.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: He could do something at an elite level that no
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: other guy can do. But if they let him go,
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: it's them saying we don't think you can do it
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: anymore in.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: My opinion, right, And then it comes down to and
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: I do trust Harball. That's why I don't think they're
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: ultimately going to move him, because I trust Harbor to
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: make the right decision here. If he does move him,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: that would mean that he not Joe Shane, not Donaponte,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: whoever's run things with the Giants, not the financial people.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Harball said, for whatever reason, football based reason, he doesn't
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: believe that dex l Lawrence is gonna fit his program
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: or is worth the money that they would need to
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: pay him to keep him here. I don't believe that's
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: going to be the case. So I think there is
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: much ado about nothing. But the fact that you can
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: even get here just shows you how bad the Giants
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: organization has been. Why Dexter Lawrence is frustrated with what's
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: going on. Harball's got to clean it. I think that
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: he will, because if he doesn't, they're all going to
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: be teams lined up across the NFL. Pick a team
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: that needs a defensive player or needs to upgrade their
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: defense to get them over the hump, and there are
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: tons of them out there. The upper rational on team,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: They're going to be trying to do anything they can
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: to go get dext Lawns maybe that drive the price up.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Who knows, but I would believe that a player like
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: that caliber, all the smart teams, the good teams are
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: going to go out there and try to take advantage
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: of the giants, miss Q.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: The other interesting part of it is John Harbaugh is
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: not a defensive guy. He's not an offensive guy. He's
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: a he's a CEO guy, He's a he came from
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: special teams. So it's not that he wants to get
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: rid of Dexter Lawrence because he's not a scheme fit.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: His scheme is these are the players I got, this
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: is the coaches I'm hiring, this is what we're going
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: to do.
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: Listen.
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: Let me be the first to say I love the
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: sports Talk. I was on the phone with a couple
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: of executives at Fox Sports Radio a couple of days ago.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: We were talking about who should be the guest co host.
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: We were between Salakata and an AI version of Colin Coward.
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: And let me tell you, sal I think we chose right.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: I'm still ufens even the ah, even the Ai Coward
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: has to be more expensive than I am. I don't
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: know what to do when you guys, I listened to
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: the show and you're talking about Dave Taylor your softball games.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: I figure we get into that, but not out of
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: the gate. I mean, come on, I haven't done a
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: radio show since December. I need to talk some sports.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: The podcast isn't cutting for me. These nice studios here
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: at iHeart. I mean, this is fun. I can hear
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: myself clear. I got the zooms going on.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: This is great.
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: We got to talk some sports to start, so sal
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: I also have to admit too, I'm a bit distracted
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: because bordoup Ricardo. If there's day game baseball, bard up,
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: Bricardo's gonna have it on. And as a Yankee fan,
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: I'm watching the Yankees versus the Athletics. Right now, Yankees
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: are being no hit through six INNX. I'm getting a
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: little worried.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: That is music to my ears? Wouldn't that? It's sweet
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: if they could get no hit here?
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: It's it's an a level pit like it's Paul Skeens
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: or something. No hitting them? Right? Who? Who's yeah? Right?
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: A guy that we never heard of before?
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: Who is it?
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Do we even know his name? He's on the eight
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: that he can't be that relevant. It's somebody named Jeffrey Springs.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Jeffrey Springs. I mean, wouldn't that be fitting how they
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: get no hit? Is the guy walking pitching around Aaron Judge. Finally,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: you know that's the other thing. I would do baseball
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: all day long, but doing a national show. I was
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: once told, if you're doing a national show, you can't
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: do baseball. And now things have changed in the year
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: since I was doing a national show. I get it,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: but we gotta do some baseball. I figured we can't
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: start with the baseball. Although if the Yankees get no hit,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: light up the phone lines eight seven to seven ninety
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: nine on focks, give us a call. We'll wait for
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: the tailor all day long. When his Yankees getting no
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're gonna come. You know what's gonna happen.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: We've seen this play out a million times with the Yankees.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: They get no hit for the first five innings. Great, okay,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: the A's think they have him dead to rights, and
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: then the Yankees come back with a barrage in the
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: eighth inning. Trent Grisham gets on, Judge hits a two
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: run homer, and so on. We know how it's gonna
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: play out already. WAPs, How do you guys, because I
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: grew up hating the Yankees. I'm sorry now, Boonie's my guy.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: I love him, but I grew up hating the Yankees.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: The one thing around we get every great setup. I
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: don't have the TV on. I'm missing the Yankee game.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize the Yankees are playing this afternoon. You
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: want to do the show? Sure, I can't wait. I
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: gotta get back in the radio. Oh, the Yankees. I
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: get a TV show at six. I'm in the city here,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: I'm lonky. Don't get beat up by you know, the
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: people on the street trying to get here. I gotta
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: get downtown for a TV show at six. I can't
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: even watch the Yankees and mean while they're getting no hate.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Go figure. It seems like you need a board up
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Ricardo in that studio. Yeah you do.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: We all need a board up Ricardo.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: You know. We all we need is Iowa was Sam
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: to make sure it doesn't screw up any sound today.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: All right, we got Iowa Sam on the board, port
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: off Priccado. How many guys you got here? And producer Jason,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: producer jac I know he's talking with everybody's getting emails
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: three not four, not five?
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: Right, right?
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: We don't do sports. Let's talk about everything but no
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: and and we'll get into the Basterds and some of
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: the baseball stuff in a little bit. I just feel
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: like the NFL, you can talk about anything when the NFL,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: and I was listening a little bit to Colin Coward
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: this morning talking about the NFL. Think about how many
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: teams be salivating to get the player a caliber of
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: dex Lawrence, especially when you look at the draft. Now,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna sit here and pretend I'm some draft guru.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: I'm not. I'll look at the draft and I'll look
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: at some of the right ups on some of the players,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: and then they're like, Okay, I like this guy because
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: of so and so his motor or the way that
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: the way that he handles the interview, all those different things,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: certain things about players that will jump out to me
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: outside of the measurables, which I don't get caught up on.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: This draft is weak. There's no way you're going to
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: replace a player that's an all pro like Dexter Lawrence,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: which to me makes it fascinating if the Giants, in
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: my opinion, do the wrong thing and can't can't come
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: to an agreement on him. I think other team's gonna
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: be looking at Pounce to go get Dexter Lawrence salvating Locata.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: It's all that, that's his that's all you get.
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: He's had his hand up. He's had his hand up
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: for five minutes for that.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: I have been salivating you, all right. I'm thinking the
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: whole night. Last night he stressed a little bit. A
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: matter of fac I'm feeling like a little I don't
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: know if it's stress, head ache, kawanum. I want to
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: make sure I come out of the gate hot. But
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: do I have fun with the guys? Do we hit
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: him with the sports right away? Normally my philosophy and
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: maybe I should throw that philosophy out the door because
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: we've seen how far that's got me before. Normally my
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: philosophy would be just come in hot, let's go sports talk, baby.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: We'll have fun throughout the course of the two hours.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Two hours like a breeze. I used to do five
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: six hours on the overnight. Nobody's calling. I mean, in
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: two hours of breeze with you two guys, mikey A
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: and Taylor. We're having some funn here. But I figureed
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I hit him with the sports. I think I knocked
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: you both guys out. I'm like, usually there's hands up
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: all over the place. You're both like, oh, what's happening here?
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Sports talk?
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know what we're doing.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: You came in, ready, go set.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I don't mess around? Are you kidding me? It might
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: be my last one. Treat every radio show like at
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: your last And that's what I've been doing for a
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: long time.
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: So on the topic of the no hitter that the
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: A's have right now, it felt like when a pitcher
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: has a no hitter, where me and Mikey A didn't
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: want to interact with you near the dugout. We just
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: want to let you go out do your thing. We
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: don't want to jinx you. You're talking Dexter Lawrence. You're
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: you're in this little groove, You're in this little rhythm.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: We were just letting you go, baby, what's the what inning?
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: W in with the no hitter? And I appreciate that
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: because other people jump in and get in my way.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: But I figure with you guys, and now I don't
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: jump in and help out. Let's go whatitting way up.
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: With this game.
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: We're in the seventh inning, one out in the seventh inning.
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: Big g up, It's getting real.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: It is getting real. Make sure you stay tuned live
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: no hit watch right here live on Fox Sports Radio.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: We see the Yankees go down. As a matter of fact,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: I don't even want that, Like I'm joking around and
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: it would be fun to make fun of you guys
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: and are the Yankee fans. But I actually do this
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: baseball pool throughout the course of the year where you
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: pick a team for a week and they have to win. Like,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: if they play seven games for that week, you have
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: to go four and three. If they only play six,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: you have to go minimum three and three. It's like
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: a survivor and you get three strikes. And the buddy,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: the guy that I'm doing the pool with, my buddy,
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: he picked the Yankees this week. And of course the
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Yankees are one and one so far versus the A's
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: and if they get no hit today, that's no good.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: One and two. That man, They do play a Tampa which,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: by the way, house of horrors for the Yankees in
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Tampa Bay. So maybe this will be the week. Fig
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: go figure the week I take the Yankees, They're gonna
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: one hundred and five games. The one week I take
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: the Yankees. They're gonna get no hit. I mean, that's
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: how these pools usually work. Somebody get a hit. What
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: am I talking about rooting against the Yankees. I want
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: that ball. I want to win that pool. I can
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: use the money. You guys big in there. I know.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Tell you're a big into baseball, Mike Yea, where are
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: you at with the baseball? I'm not familiar.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: I'm a big I'm a big Yankee fan, a big,
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: bigger Yankee fan.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: It's a big Yankee fan. Taylor, Yeah, I watch all
• 17:27

  Speaker 5: if it's on, I'm not staying up. I'm not staying
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: I'm not staying up.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: For for any West Coast games.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: And the West Coast games they bond you as a fan.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: You bond with the West Coast games. Everybody's asleep. You
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: gotta stay up and watch those games late night. So Sally,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: you'll respect this move of me and you. This is
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: the move that you could tell that I don't have kids,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: or a family or much responsibilities we do the show
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: from three to five. When the Yankees have the ten
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: o'clock game, I get home around five point thirty after traffic,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: take a nap until that game starts.
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: Oh look at you.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Live in the life, you know. That's another reason why
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: I like listening to the show. I live vicariously through you.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Because you have a softball team, You're just moving in
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: with your girlfriend. You could take naps so you could
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: get ready to watch the games. And I'm like, yesterday,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: I'm taking my daughter to chuck e cheese, Like my
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: life is over. People are asking me, are you one
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: of the Masters. I'm like I used to be, Well,
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: what happened well, and not just Tiger and Phil, but
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: like I got married. That's what happened. Instead of sitting
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: there on Thursday, Friday, certainly Saturday or Sunday watching the
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Masters like I used to do, or college basketball, the
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: NCAA tournament, filling on a bracket, I got married. That's
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: the problem. During the week I could say, well, I
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: gotta watch the Mets and Yankees. I gotta watch a
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: lot of sports on the weekend. It's like, Okay, what
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: are you gonna do for us? Now? That's that's the problem.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: So if you want to be a sports fan, be
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: weary of where you're gonna go with your future, even
• 18:53

• 20:00
  Speaker 7: Steve Cohen tweets out the free ticket giveaway was fully

• 20:43
  Speaker 3: call somebody at least and complain about it. I feel
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: like I might in that spot. Who's next up? With
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: to do me a favor.
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: I'll go do me a favor. TV streaming executives, all
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: this stuff.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: Come up with an original idea, okay, because I am
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: sick of everything being.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: Another version of something else.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: You've got seventeen NCISS, You've got seventeen Chicago Chicago Fire
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: and all like. Come up with one original idea, one
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: original show that we could watch and we don't have
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: to deal with having to understand fourteen other shows to
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: watch this show.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: All right, there you have it. I mean, I'm currently
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: looking for employment, so I am not going to rip
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: any TV executives anywhere for anything. Extreame what you want,
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Promote what you want.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I'll moll for it.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Email me, Sally, he look at it, you bord Off Bercarado,
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: You're on next.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: Major League Baseball, do me a favor. Enough with the
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: constant interleague games. I don't mind a small section of
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: the season like we had in the early two thousands,
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: but just not every day. I like the league separated,
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: and it gives us more division games and it makes
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: inter league more special.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: But every day? Enough with it?
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: All right? Fair enough? I hate anybody else? Go here?
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Who I was? Sam? Does he ever do me a favor.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: I could go left them there you go, I would say,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: im hop in there, give us to do me a favor,
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Do me a favor.
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: Other sports franchises match the wonderful prices at the Masters,
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: because I could get everything on the menu for under
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: eighty dollars. I think I'd go with a beer eight Masters,
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: a club sandwich, some apple slices and some chips, and
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: that'll run me twelve dollars. Let's go back to the
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: days of pre pandemic prices and just maybe slice your
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: profits off a little bit and just cut us all
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: a break because everything's too expensive right now.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: But the problem is they could do that because they
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: don't care if you go like they know, what's a
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: limited audience now, how they're stadium.
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying, it's all the math game.
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: They're all working us. But at least the perception of
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: something coming off cheap. Like if I go over to
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: Whole Foods when we got across the street here at
• 22:46
  Speaker 9: Sherman Oaks at the studio, some of their food is
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: like the day it's the day of sell by date
• 22:52
  Speaker 9: and they mark it down fifty percent, and I'm like,
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: I can get this sandwich for four to fifty in
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: stead of nine dollars. This feels like twenty eighteen again.
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: It's like the good days. So let's go back to that.
• 23:01
  Speaker 9: At least I feel like I'm saving something. But you know, Masters,
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: Atlanta Falcons do that. Other franchises, some go real cheap
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: with their concessions.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: It makes people feel like it's more accessible. So Master's
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: concessions prices, do me a favor. I want other people
• 23:16
  Speaker 9: to match that apple slices. What are your sal's five
• 23:19
  Speaker 9: year old daughter? I gotta get listen, beer, turkey, sandwich chips.
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: I gotta get something healthy in there.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: She does love the apple slices, good yard apples.
• 23:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that was some hardsider.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: M McDonald's little chicken nuggets, French fries and the apple slice.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: You can't go healthier, all right, do me a favor.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Let's stop with the damn video tributes to former players.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Do me fair enough. Jeff McNeil's gonna return to City
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Field like as if he's some conquering hero with the Mets.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: He's a scrub. I'm sorry. I know he beat up
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: the Yankees here in this series, and I know we had. Okay,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: he was an old star one. Jeff McNeill wasn't very
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: good scrubs, maybe disrespectfull. You get the point. I want
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: to exaggerate for a fact. Just do me a favor.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: If you get to acknowledgejeffmcgil means we gotta now to everybody,
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Pete A. Lonzo would be one thing, the all time
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: franchise leading home run hitter. You talk about former grades
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: that move on because at the end of their career,
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: whatever it may be, pick a team, pickup player, pick
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: a sport. But enough with these video tributes because it's
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: just now teams feel obligated to do it. So do
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: me a favor. Got it out all right? How'd that work?
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: Was that? Okay? But that was a great to me
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: a favorite?
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: That was awesome.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: That was awesome. You wait any more games to play?
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Actually this is not a game, but this is something
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: I was thinking about. I'm getting to hang out with
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: you guys here today. Like because as a listener of
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: the show, right becoming a fan of the show, you know,
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: working with you guys in the podcast, there are certain
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: things that I feel like, like I used to feel
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: this way about Mike and the mandic. Oh, I just
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: not I want to be on the air. I want
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: to just be a part of that family and hang
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: out with those guys. And I was thinking about it,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: like with with Stu. For me, maybe the thing would
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: be to play golf with him, right, even though I'm
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: not a big golfer, would that be the thing? I mean,
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: it's either play golf with him or get high with him.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: And I've never gotten high with anybody, but maybe it
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: would be with Stue. Are those the two things? Maybe
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: that wou like, what would you want to do with
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Stue if you could do anything to experience being part
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: of these Stu Gots and Company family.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: So I've played golf with him a couple of times.
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: One of the things you have to kind of prepare
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: yourself for some of the slowest rounds you'll ever play
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: in your life. Like, not only is he slow, just
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: kind of like waddling up to the ball. He stands
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: over the ball for like three minutes, and I'm like, Stu,
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: come on, if you're gonna if you're if you're gonna play,
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: play fount and then he hits then and then all
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: you hear about is how much golf he plays and
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: then you're out there and he's just he's just hacking
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: it out. He's in the woods. And then you finish
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: the hole and you're like, Stu, what'd you get there?
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: And He's like, just put me down for a par
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: I'm like, wait, what.
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: All right?
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: So on second thought, maybe I want to pop a
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: gummy with Stue instead of that with Taylor. I feel
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: like I want to play softball, Like that's the thing.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: I'm like, Wow, I wonder if I go down there
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: one day, if I happen to be in Miami and
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: hang out, maybe I could be like a walk on
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: for a softball team. I feel like that's the thing
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: I want to experience now from a listener standpoint, you
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: talk about it. You know, if Ian could do it,
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: how bad could things be. I'm sure I could go
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: down there. Is that something that's possible? Maybe to play
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: some softball with you? Taylor definitely could do softball.
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: Sow.
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: My dream for you would be me and you. We
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: just have a catch like field of dreams. Just a
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: kid in just a kid and his dad, but just
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: a kid and somebody he used to listen.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: To on w f A N. I mean, we can
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: make that happen. We could have a catch and then
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: maybe go play softball. Mikey, I was thinking about it
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: with you, like I feel like with you, I just
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: want to hang out and pound some beers and a pie. Right, Uh?
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you want to you want to eat pizza and
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: watch football with me if you want, If you want
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: to get the full experience, that's what you want to do.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: I do that.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: We can do that, hopefully you can.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: Here.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing I get. Invite you over to my
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: place in New Jersey. You could bring the good pizza
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: from Connecticut. We watch some football. I mean, Taylor's inbody
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: it as well. But that's what I feel like I want.
• 26:52
  Speaker 10: Now.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: The other thing is with Izzy. I don't know, Like
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: do I want to work out with is He? I
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: don't like, what do you want to do? I want
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: to go to a game with is He? What's the
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: thing with we don't want to play? He doesn't want
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: to play softball. I know he loves the heat. I
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: know he's in shape. I'm trying to think of things
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: that what do we want to do with Isazy? What
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: would be the dream there?
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: I think it would be you have to play flag
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: football and I'm telling you football. I'm telling you right now,
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: Sal I consider myself a great athlete. My quads were
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: not ready for flag football.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: But you're a football player. You played football in North Carolina.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: That's your whole thing, that's what you do. You're not
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: a softball player. You're not, in fact Andrew Jones. You're
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: a football player that you weren't ready for.
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: I'm a retired I'm a current athlete. I'm a retired
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: football player. And so the entire drive over, I was like, man,
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: should I just text Izzy that? Like my stomach kind
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: of hurts and and kind of fail out of this
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: because I know going in there as a former North
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: Carolina wide receiver that people are going to be looking
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: at me and be like, hey, we have to get
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: this kid the ball, you know, twenty times a game.
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: He's got to be our version of Poka Nakua. And
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: I'm a lot closer to whoever's backing up Pooka Nakuah
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: than I am Pooka Nakulah.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: I'd love to get to know, Isy. I am not
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: playing flag football under any circumstances. I would be an
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: injury waiting to happen.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: What about us for you, sal if we wanted to
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: be part of you in your world, if you what
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: would we join you to do?
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: Would it be? Would it be go sit next to
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: Jerry Seinfeld? And wow?
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: But that's not me. Is maybe maybe hang out at
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: a game like in the Islanders owner suite or something.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, maybe something like that. I don't know. I
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: don't really have any do a radio show with me.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: It's all I know how to do. I can't do
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: anything else.
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: So I'm actually I live in Fort Lauderdale, South but
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: I'm coming back home to New York for I think
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: a week and maybe a week and a half. In
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: the middle of April. I have a wedding and that
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: I have my sister's baby shower. And I'm looking at
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: the Yankee schedule. Fun I'm looking at the Yankee schedule
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: and it's during a homestand it looks like the Royal
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: series the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth in April. And you've
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: mentioned that if I come to a Yankee game with you,
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: you'll connect me with Aaron Boone. So I think I'm
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: reaching into my pocket and I'm pulling out this favor.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Oh dude, you gotta give me a heads up April
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: and Anthelic next week. For goodness sake, I watch next week, Yeah,
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: next wed next week. You don't even want to know
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: what I have planned for next weekend. My daughter's birthday
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: is on the sixteenth. I told you the eighteenth. We
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: promised her we're gonna go to Pepa Pig's house. It's
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: in It's of course, there's not one in New York,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: because why would there be a Peppa Pigs house in
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: New York. It's in Virginia or something. So we have
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: that schedule for the eighteenth, but either that Friday or
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: the Sunday, maybe we could work on that. We'll go
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: hang out of the Yankee game and see if Pooni's available.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Steve Godsend Company
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Live weekdays at three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Now, how did the Yankees lose to the A's two
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: out of three to the A's to start? I mean,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: come on, and Yankees have been in the hottest team
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: in baseball, right, They had the best record. They were
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: eight and two coming into last night's game, where they
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: then got beat by the A's, and then this afternoon,
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: I wasn't trying to jinx it. I just thought, matter
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: of factly they're at home, they'll come back against the
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: A's once they get to that bullpen, and the Yankees
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: go down one zip. Man, Now I still look, I'm
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: not gonna go nuts about it, but it does show
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: you that even with the Yankees high octane, powerful offense
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: and that loaded rotation, Weathers was terrific today, gave them
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: actually some length which they needed eight innings. It is
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: getting beat by the A's two out of three. That
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: can't make you Yankee fans feel good. Mikey A. Taylor. No,
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: I mean you guys, get the A's came into your
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: house and took two out of three, and then you
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: gotta go to the House of Horrors, Tampa Bay back
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: up and running in the at the trop I'm assuming
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: they still call it that, and maybe the Yankees sitting
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: a little bit of a bump on the road here.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: I blame you, so I blame you for betting on them,
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: for for taking them in your pool that they're gonna
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: win what four of seven or three of seven or whatever.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Three they get the EU doingthing you.
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: Can to jinx them, and you're doing well.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: The Al East is over. Maybe as soon as they
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: said that, the Eggies getting no hit, you know.
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: What, they only had to do with the ZL West
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: apparently two.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Out of three. You know. One thing on the Yankees
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: and their fans, I think it's been a rough. Look.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Have you guys heard the chance the Soto thing whatever,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Like they're still bothered by Soto, but he's not in
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: the ballpark. You mentioned the AL West, it's still with
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Al Tuvey. Like if the Astros were here, so be it.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: If the Mets were in town, so be it. What's
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: what the channing bleep this player when they're not even there,
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: what's going on? Maybe that's what caused the problem here.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Maybe the Yankee fans taking their attention away from focusing
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: on their team, trying to get them to play their
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: best channing bleep this guy, bleep that guy. Maybe that's
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: what calls them to lose two out of three to
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: lowly Oakland.
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: A's I respect that level of hate, especially in a
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: city like New York where hate is such so prevalent
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: in their sports teams like Sally.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: You go to a Rangers game, they're still doing the
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: pop bands. Sucks. Good point, and I love that, and
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: I take fid and doing the pop vand sucks.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: I respect it.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: You got me with Alan, Yeah there, I can't combat
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: that one. Yeah, but that's like, come on, that's like
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: tradition and it's not. I mean, you know, it's at
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: least a clean word like pop vinsucks. But I took
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: my daughter and I'm like, oh, you know that's the
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: or my nephew when he's starting to learn hockey, I
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: teach them that pop vinsuck has just been a thing
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: as far as I know going on Ranger games.
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: But doesn't all good traditions have to have a ground
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: floor to start on, Like maybe in fifteen years, the
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: Soto sucks is what the Bronx is known for instead
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: of the bleacher creatures. And don't get me started on
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: the bleacher creatures. I can't stand that guy who leads them.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: We may have found a common ground here, Taylor. I'm
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: I think it's the lamest thing in sports. And this
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: has nothing to do with not being a Yankee fan.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: It is the roll call is the lamest thing, maybe
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: in the history of sports. I don't want to exaggerate,
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: but maybe in the history of sports it is the
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: lamest that you.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: Like that Mike Ye, come on, man, I love First off,
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: when you say bleacher creatures, we're dealing with like the
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: water down like version of the bleacher creatures. When you
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: talk about the old bleacher creatures that ended the role
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: call with box seats suck. That was the bleacher creatures.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: They don't even do that anymore. It's you can now
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: go from the bleachers to the rest of the park.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: They used to separate the bleacher, the bleacher creatures, from
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: the rest of you, Like, if you had a bleacher ticket,
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: you couldn't go see.
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: What it looked like behind Home Plitt you were stuck
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: in the bleachers. Now it's different. But I love the
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: role call. My kid loves the role call. It's one
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: of the better parts of the game to me.
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: So my most shameful admission is that when I go
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: to Yankee games and I love the Yankees, grew up
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: thirty two years old. Yankees are my number one favorite
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: team in all of sports. But my most shameful admission
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: is that when I'm at Yankee games and I'm sitting around,
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: I'm looking at a lot of Yankee fans, I'm going
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: I kind of hate everybody here.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: You know, that's an interesting point because even listening. You
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: do profile as anti Yankee, you kind of do, but
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: then you a Yankee fan and that's your people. I mean,
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: come on, you can't be hating everybody in the stadium,
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: the oh Neil Chance. I mean, we don't to get
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: at this specific of the chance hip hip hoor hey.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, what are we doing here? The yes, the
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Yankees won't evolve to the point where they could wear
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: a modern day jersey like a third you know, a
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: City connect Jersey. Yankees won't do that, But yet their
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: fans come up with the cot Night Joe stuff. You
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: got the judges Chambers, you got the roll call, the
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: hip hip hoor hey Chance. I mean, come on, that
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: stuff is corny. The Yankee should be above that.
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: But Salad, you can't look. You can't tell me.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: You go to City Field and you look around at
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: met fans and you go, these are my people, every
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: single one of these people.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: This is who I am. You can't tell me. That's
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: the that's the truth.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: No, no, you got me. It's why I don't go
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: to City Field that month, not often anymore.
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: It used to be me.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: Not me anymore.
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: And most of the times when Sald's going to games,
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: I've seen styles stories like I saw him at the
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: Islanders game, Mikey.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: He's sitting in the owners week by the way, next
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: to Jerry. Yeah, exactly the last two games. I was
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: with Jerry Seinfeld in a met game and the owner
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: suite at the Islander game. And I'm talking about the
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: golf being elite. Things change? How dare these elitists?
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Sally?
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: You want to go to these games? Where where are
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: the seats? Are the tickets? A are they free? There's
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: a couple of free parking and it's gonna be the
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: sweet because if it is, I'll be there and wants
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: to freeze their rear Endolph in the stands. You know,
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: baseball is making some news here nationally. We know it's
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: it's a local sport primarily, but it is starting to
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: come into the play, come into play where they think
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: being more national. And how about the Pirates, the Pirates
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: of all teams. I never thought I'd be talking about
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Pirates doing a national radio show, but here
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: we are. Connor Griffin signs one hundred and forty million
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: dollar extension with the team before he even plays a game.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: I don't was that even before he played a game.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know the exact time it. I know we
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: just got called up. He's barely been in the big
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: leagues here and they give him that money, and then
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Paul Schemes talks about him being the face of the franchise,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: which you know, this kid is gonna be here a
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: long time. Who knows. With Paul Skens, I just have
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: an issue with the Pirates. If they're gonna commit that
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: money to Griffin, why wouldn't they have done the same
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: thing with Paul Skeens years ago, and then you could
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: have two phases of the franchise moving forward like a
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: well run you know, kind of playing off of what
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: we started the show with with Dexter Lawrence. The Pirates
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: have been in the business of being in a bad
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: spot where they lose all the good players that they
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: draft and develop. Trying to prevent that with Connor Griffin,
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: but it's probably gonna happen with Paul Skeens at some point.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: I did not have a problem with Skeen's comments though myself,
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: I didn't think it was a big deal. I think
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: he's just trying to hype up his guy, Connor Griffin.
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Skeens, I don't think Paul Skeens would be offended
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: if I say this, but he's not the most charismatic guy,
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: so him just talking to the media already is a
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: bit out of character for him. And sell to your
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: point of giving long term extensions to these these prospects
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: or these guys that really haven't played too much. This
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: does feel like a small market team thing to do,
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: where I can't imagine the Yankees ever giving an extension
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: to Dominguez or ti Volpi before they ever.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Make these moves.
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: But for me, when it comes to Griffin verse schemes,
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: it does feel easier to project what a everyday position
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: player is going to be and justifying that long term
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: contract instead of a pitcher who won bad injury and
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: that picture is gonna miss, you know, a year to
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: a year and a half with Tommy John.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: But don't you think, because this is where I sit
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: on this, and it does vary on the team. If
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: you're the Pirates, you need to do whatever you can
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: to take your best shot and gamble and take a
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: chance on Connor Griffin. Now, let's use him as the
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: current example and bet that he's going to be a stud,
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: because if you don't you're not going to be able
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: to keep him. I mean, think about how pathetic that
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: is that that's the largest contract in their franchise history,
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: one hundred and forty million. The Yankees and Mets have
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: looked that on fire. The Dodgers, other team, whatever, the
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: top teams, they light that on fire. However, I would
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: say that if you're a powerhouse team Yanks met whoever,
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: you Dodgers, the one area that I would be open
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: to extending a young player it would be pitching because
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: in the event those guys do hit and become the
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: studs that you expect them to be if they get
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: to the open market, the price is astronomical and you're
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: paying for their latter years as opposed to getting let's
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: say Cam Schlitzler. If the Yankees go to him right now,
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: give the one hundred and fifty million guaranteed. You don't
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: think he take that. Now you're gambling. You're taking a gamble.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: But if he won, you know, if he it's free agency,
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: you to be paying three times that.
• 38:26
  Speaker 7: I'm happy for that Pirates fan base because it feels like,
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: for the first time in a while that that fan
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: base has hope. You look at Paul Skiings he's twenty three.
• 38:34
  Speaker 7: Bubba Chandler another great starting pitcher, he's twenty three. Connor
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: Griffins nineteen. They have the number three farm system according
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: to MOB Pipeline. So the past three decades, the Pirates
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: have had four winning seasons, which sounds crazy. And I
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: think you can make the argument that there's no bigger
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: gap in sports than the one between how gorgeous PNC
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: Park is and then how unwatchable the team that's been
• 39:00
  Speaker 7: playing inside has been.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's when you put it that way. The ballpark
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: is great, the team is stunk outside of what you know.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: They finally got back to the postseason with McCutcheon years ago.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: That was great wildcard to have a team that has
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: been that bad consistently for that long. As a fan,
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: why would you bother? Like the Mets have been bad? Obviously,
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: the Jets have been all fun. I would say the
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: same thing to you, Mike Yea, a Jeff fan, like,
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: why would you bother? As a Jet fan? Maybe a
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: little different with the NFL because it's not as long
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: of a season and the hope is kind of there.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: You could cross your fingers and hope for Arch Manning,
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: which I don't think is gonna happen, But in the
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: event that you do happen to hit on one, it
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: could change the entire course of the franchise. Whereas with baseball,
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: they're never gonna have the money. The Jets isn't a
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: money issue. It's a personnel issue. The Pirates is a
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: financial thing, and that's not changing. It's unless there's a cap,
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: and that's a whole other issue for a lockout on
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: work stoppage. It's never gonna change. For the mid market,
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: low market, small market teams, they're never gonna be able
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: to keep it with the Mets, Yankees, Dodgers in the
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: higher So if I'm a Pirate fan, I just all
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: you have is a ballpark. At least you do have
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: a nice ballpark.
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: When I saw the headline that Paul Skeins made cryptic comments,
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: I was like, Oh my god, what did Paul Skins say?
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: And then I watched the clip and watch how he
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: delivered it. So when I clicked on that video, I
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: thought he was going to say, like, I can't wait
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: to strike out Connor Griffin when I'm a meta of Yankee.
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: That's how they were kind of prefacing how bad the
• 40:25
  Speaker 7: comment was.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, he didn't have to say face of the
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: franchise if you were a pirate fan. If I were
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: a Pirate fan, I probably be hurt by that if
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: I hear my guy's skiing saying that, because you know
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: he's leaving anyway, you already know it. But now he's
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: hitting me in the face where they're like, this is
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: a face of the franchise moving forward.
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I read that as Paul Skin's like, man, he
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: is going to be the face of the franchise when
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: I'm elsewhere.
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: That is going to be great for him, Like good
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: for him. The Pittsburgh should be happy that.
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: They've got a guy who's just awkward and nice enough
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: to not talk about how he wants out. But it's
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: sort of been like, yeah, I'm gonna be out, like
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: I'll do what i can while I'm here, but I'm
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: not gonna be here very long.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, I think when you look at it
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: with Skens, he's destined to be a Yankee. I mean,
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: the writing has been on the wall for a while. Unfortunately,
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Yankees believe that so much so that they try to
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: trade for him, which is ridiculous. If you're the Pirates,
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: I'd be like, get the hell out of here, don't
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: even don't even call my phone. We're not trading him.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: You may get him in four years, whenever he hit
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: Tree Agent. Three years, you may get him in. I'm
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: not trading him to you. And if you are gonna
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: consider a trade, you better start with Cam Schlitzler. Then
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: the whole conversation would you do that? Even now if
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: you're the Yankees, Well, if I'm the Pirates, say it
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: starts with Cam Schlitler. But the Pirate, there's no point.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: The Pirates, I hate to say, might as well fold
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: because they have such great history and great uniforms and
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: a great ballpark. But like, if you can't keep Paul Skeens, well,
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: what are we doing here? The sport has a problem.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: It's got to be better than that. I'm not saying
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: the cap is salary cap is an answer here, But
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: it does seem like Paul Skeens is destined to be
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: a New York Yankee, doesn't it.
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: But do you think there's a number that Paul Skins
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: is like, yeah, I'll stay like a real question number.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, what are we talking about if if
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: you're him.
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: Everybody has a number, I said, a realistic number.
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: Okay, well, what's talking if they go if they say
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: four hundred million for what five years?
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Is that five years? That's not realistic. That four hundred
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: million isn't really isn't realistic for the pirates, I mean
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: ten yeah, yeah, okay, well yeah, if they offer a
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: four hundred million dollar deal, I'm not even so sure
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: he would take it. He might pull a Soto and
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: be like, no, I don't think he would, but he should.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: I was doing this a little prep work for the
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: TV show later on, because we're talking about Noel McLean
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: and how this would tie into that. Right, another young picture,
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: Cam Schlitz or Paul Skins whatever. Schein's different level. We
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: know that, but it goes into the thought of trying
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: to lock these guys up. What would be a fair price.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: If you go back to twenty thirteen where Matt Harvey
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: took the Baseball world by storm and started the All
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: Star Game like I would tell you, oh dude, I
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: did say, I wouldn't trade this guy for anybody in
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: the Mets. Better pay him. Harvey in his career ended
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: up I think netting under fifty million bucks. So imagine
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: going to Matt Harvey in twenty twelve and it's saying,
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: we'll give you one hundred and fifty million guaranteed. He
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: probably spinted you. What are you insane? One hundred fifty million,
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna have free agency. I'm gonna get three hundred million.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: And yet here we are, And there are endless other
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: examples of that. But there are also the examples the
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: other way, where if you did pay, it's all about
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: getting Yankees. Did it with Louis Everarino tried to lock
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: him up and even that was a four year, forty
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: million that whatever was, it was a real cheap deal,
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: but he never lived up to the expectation. It's a
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: gamble that the rich teams don't have to take, and
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: the teams like the pirates have to do it. What's
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: the worst case for the pirates? This contract prevents them
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: from spending any money. They never spend any money anyway,
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: So what's the worst case scenario? Here? Skin's gonna be Yankee?
• 43:56
  Speaker 10: I know it.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Just braced yourself for it. I am you guys could
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: get except about it. Go buy your skiens Jersey. He'll
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: be Yankee sooner then later.
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: We all know it is it just Gonn Taylor. Does
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: he say Dodger weird? He's having Dodger like Yankee.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: You think he's going to the Dodgers, skeins.
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: I think everybody's going to the Dodgers, because that's what caps.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: The report was last year that one of his I
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: think it was his teammates who remained anonymous, said that
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: he believes, you know, his his his his wife or girlfriend,
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: Libby Done. She maybe prefers New York. And we've heard
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: this story before, but he grew up a Yankee fan
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: or whatever it is. He probably wants to pitch for
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: the Yankees. And if that's the case, if he wants to,
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: then if it comes down to just money, I think
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: the Yankees will get out bit, whether it's the Dodgers
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: or the Mets. But if it comes down to Skeens
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: wanting to be a Yankee because he just wants the
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: power of the pin stripes, the history, and then I
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: think he's gonna be Yankee. I mean, I would bet
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: that that would be the case. Yankees have shown that
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: they have not been able to go out there or
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: not been willing to spend the most money. Speaking of
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: the Yankees. Mike is online Long Island. Mike, You're on
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio. Fox. What's up? Mike?
• 45:05

• 45:06
  Speaker 6: We really miss you over here in Long Island.
• 45:09
  Speaker 10: In New York City.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, I mean I didn't die. You could look
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: at my YouTube channel and podcasts and Fox Sports Radio. Now,
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: I mean it's it's not What are you missing? Just
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: just go on the internet so I know it's stop
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: being lazy. Will you look it up Google? Out of
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: YouTube you can find me speaking of being lazy.
• 45:26
  Speaker 10: I actually downloaded iHeartRadio for you for this show.
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: So there you go.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: That means the world to me. Thank you, There you go, Mike,
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much for that. We appreciate what's on
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: your mind.
• 45:36
  Speaker 10: So if Uncle Stevie were listening, could you just give
• 45:40
  Speaker 10: me like only you can speak for us, speak for
• 45:43
  Speaker 10: the met bands and tell him how we're feeling about
• 45:45
  Speaker 10: David Peterson because we need a break, sou We can't.
• 45:49
  Speaker 10: I can't keep doing this over and over again, spotting
• 45:52
  Speaker 10: the other team five runs in the first inning.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: I'll take requests here today, especially if you download the
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: free iHeartRadio app and listened to us. So for you,
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: for you Mike, and we appreciate that very much. Thank
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: you for your loyalty. We appreciate you making the effort
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: download the app and listen, and I will take the
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: request if Steve Cohen is in fact listening to this,
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: and maybe he is. I mean I think he might
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: be a fan. Who is it. Here's what I'll do
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: for you. David Peterson has to go. He's been terrible.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: Last year. He couldn't give you three pregod innings. The
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: Mets needed a starter to give him some length. The
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: guy was an all star in the first half of
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: the year. Then he comes out he couldn't get you
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: through the third inning. He can't play Mendy his best picture.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: Peterson couldn't give it to him. And then this year
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: he gets another start. What's he done? He's been terrible
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: in two starts.
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: I'm out out of the rotation.
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: That's it now the problem that you have. Hopefully that
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: was good for you there, Mike. We'll take more requests
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: if you like. We're here for another forty minutes, and
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: it feels good to get that out of my system.
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: I would not go that nuts realistically yet with Peterson,
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: but I think it's trending that way. I didn't trust
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: Peterson to start the year.
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: Where are we talking?
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: David Peterson is a national show. But the Mets rotation
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: does have some issues here and it shows you. That's
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: why the pitching is tough to predict. Guy was an
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: All Star of the first half of last year, fell
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: off the cliff in the second half of last year.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: We're talking about paying these guys long term. I still though,
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: if anything, I would do with the pitching and not
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: the position players, especially if you're from a powerhouse team.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Dan Tel, you're going to a baseball game this weekend.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: When are you going? You're taking your nephews here? What's
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: going on with that?
• 47:22
  Speaker 7: So I'm taking my little cousins to the inter Miami
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: soccer match to see Leo Messi and sal What complicates
• 47:31
  Speaker 7: even further. They're ten and seven, but they live in Italy,
• 47:36
  Speaker 7: so this is speak English. They do speak English, so
• 47:40
  Speaker 7: they moved to Italy probably five years ago, so they're
• 47:45
  Speaker 7: both fairly young. They're they're both bilingual. But this does
• 47:49
  Speaker 7: feel like it's going to be a bit of a
• 47:50
  Speaker 7: challenge for me, not only the kids, but having little
• 47:54
  Speaker 7: Italian kids.
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: Oh no, no, it's not gonna be a bit of
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: a challenge. It's going to be a massive challenge for you.
• 47:59
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: I didn't I said it was a soccer game. I
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: thought it was like a Marlins game. And I'm like,
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: good God, what are you doing? At least you going
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: to see MESSI who is worth the price of admission.
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: I'm not a huge soccer fan, but I've seen him
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: play when he came to New York. It is lights out, dude,
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: you know what you in for. Have you ever done
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: this before? Gone to a soccer match?
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: Done it with a ten year old and a seven
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: year old?
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: No?
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: So that's what I'm kind of need help from the
• 48:19
  Speaker 7: dads here what to expect because I'm I'm sending texts like, Hey,
• 48:24
  Speaker 7: do I need to go to the bathroom with them?
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: Do I need to, you know, hold their hand when
• 48:29
  Speaker 7: we're crossing your troths?
• 48:30
  Speaker 6: Dude?
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: Are there? Do I need court seats? I'm trying to
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: get a course and.
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: Just just fly me or sal down there just to
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: help you out, because oh man, no, you're done.
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: So the thing I'm not worried about is the spending part,
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: Like I've already bought like the closest parking pass to
• 48:52
  Speaker 7: cut one of the challenges. And then I think we're
• 48:55
  Speaker 7: just going to go to the game as early as possible,
• 48:57
  Speaker 7: go to the team store, let them kind of run
• 48:59
  Speaker 7: around the the fan zone area, and then I'm just
• 49:02
  Speaker 7: gonna I'm just gonna try to buy their love with like, Hey,
• 49:04
  Speaker 7: do you guys want messy jerseys? Do you guys want
• 49:07
  Speaker 7: cotton candy? Do you guys want soda?
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the easy part, and that's fun easy. Everything
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: else that is a nightmare. I gotta go to the bathroom.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: I gotta go to the bathroom. Wow, we're trying to
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: watch Messi come down here or it's a penalty gig
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: or whatever happens in soccer.
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: I'm not really a big soccer man, but like, you
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: gonna be missing Put it this way, you'd be lucky
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: if you see Messi on the field period, you're gonna
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: be doing everything else. Can we get this? Can we
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: get that? You have any idea of you? You just
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: need to surrender now, that would be my advice. Surrender.
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: If you think you're gonna go there and watch a
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: game or see a performance from Messi, you're not. It's
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: gonna be all about those kids, as it should be,
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: But surrender yourself for a day of complete exhaustion and
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: a lot of frustration as well. And you're gonna need
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: a nap after that. Set your clock. Good thing you
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: take naps. You canna need a nap after that one.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: So the only tips I have so far are surrender.
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: Yeshrender, be ready to referee fights.
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: Because when the seven year old has to go to
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: the bathroom, and that means all three of you have
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: to go to the bathroom, And the ten year old
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: doesn't want to go to the bathroom, so he's going
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: to start throwing a fit. But because he's not going
• 50:11
  Speaker 5: to get what you about having to go to the bathroom,
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: he's going to go with his brother. So him and
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: his brother are going to start fighting because all three
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: of you now have to go to the bathroom. Yeah,
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: that's that's what you're in for.
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: At least you have they're both boys. Like I had
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: the issue. I don't know these things, Like I'm a
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: first time parent, I have a daughter. Do I go
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: in the men's room? Do I go in the women's room?
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: What do I do here? I don't If somebody helped
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: me out, I have no idea. It's crazy the first
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: time you experienced it, I don't know. You learn from doing.
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: But in that spot, I mean, can't be having any mistakes.
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: So good luck with all that tailor. That's what I
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: would say. Just know that you're in for, know what
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: you're in for. This is not Taylor Uncle Taylor gonna
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: be enjoying a game. This is oh man, I'm going
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: to be trying to do the best that I count by.
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you cannot buy a ten or a seven year
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: old's love, but you can just rent it for about
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: twenty minutes.
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: Okay, So my my best hope is that since they're
• 51:03
  Speaker 7: Italian and we're going to a soccer match, that at
• 51:07
  Speaker 7: least I'm not taking them to something that they don't
• 51:09
  Speaker 7: want to watch.
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: Right, well, why would you do that? I mean that
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: would be that that would be the worst thing, taking
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: them something to or on ice.
• 51:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I've done that.
