• 2:29
  Speaker 2: be honest? Tell me I'm nervous. The No, that's it,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: all right? What happened on your softball field?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: You guys? So you had your first game? Yes, Taylor,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: go ahead.

  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, there's good news and bad news.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: About flying No.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: About the softball game. The good news, I'll start on
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: a positive note. The good news was it was game one.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well it was game two yet a bye week, Yeah, right,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: game one for us.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: The bad news is we lost nineteen three and we
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: got run rolled.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: After the third day. So you went home early.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, congratulations, can I Okay? I don't understand recreational softball.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I'm about to insult a lot of people here. It
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: seems a little like just there's not enough activity.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Well maybe, okay, so Stu here's my thing. I had
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: a little bit of an issue because I get there
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: and I realize as I'm getting out of the car
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: fifteen minutes before the game starts, I left my entire
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: bag at home when had my cleats in it, it
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: had my glove in it, and I put it by
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: the door, and I was just like, hmm. And my
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: first thought was they're going to think I did this
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: on purpose because I didn't really want to play. And
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I was just like, I've got way more ways to
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: get out of playing than having to drive all the
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: way back home and drive back to the park.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: So now I'm thinking it now, okay, yes, I wait.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Right now, And Taylor, I'm guessing what happened. You guys
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: just put me at a DH position and said, hey,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: he'll be back.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so everybody hits, but you can only have ten
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: people in the field, so we just kind of assumed
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: you wouldn't have wanted to play in the field.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: No, I mean I would have. I would have been
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: fine play in the field get my feet wet, especially
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: when you know we haven't when we're losing and we're
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: gonna get mercy ruled or whatever. But yeah, I definitely
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: wanted to get my feet wet there. But I did
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: come in like fifteen minutes after the game started with
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: that Mikey with.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Clarification when you say, we thought, who's creating this lineup?
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: Is it you, Taylor, or is there somebody else? Like
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: put me there?
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: So we're on a team of free agents, so nobody
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: really jumped to take the lead. So one guy just
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: kind of was like, I'll try to handle this, and
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: we just asked everybody their their best positions. But as
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: you could clearly tell, we couldn't have done much worse
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: with Izzy in the field, because I don't want to
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: throw anybody under the bus. But roommate Ian was one
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: of the worst offenders I've ever seen.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Less ar right, Taylor put it on the pole.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: When you say you don't want to throw somebody under
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the bus, are you about to throw them under the bus?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah, bus hurtling towards that.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Don't you play with the regularly?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: And every time I played with him, he's a very
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: good defender. The first inning, Stude, they hit a pop
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: up to him, he completely misplays it. He comes back
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: to the dugout and he's like, I think I need
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: to put my glasses on. The contacts are messing up
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: with the light he made. He made four more errors
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: that inning, and I'm standing next to him. He's in
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: left field, I'm in center field. I'm standing next to
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: him like, I bet you kind of wish your girlfriend
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: didn't come to.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: This game right now.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: His girlfriend was watching Get out of here. That is
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the saddest thing I've ever heard.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: So at one point, he's made like six errors now
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: at this point.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: And again the game yet yet again.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: In left field. Yes, in left field, he's making a
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: lot of errors.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: And Mikey, this was a team of Alrighty's just every right.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: There wasn't a single lefty in that lineup, and everything
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: was just getting pinged, just from what I saw, was
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: getting pinged directly directly to left field.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: So after a while I'm like, Ian, you go to center,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I'll go to left. The second we do that, right
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the next ball gets launched to center field and I'm like,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: oh no, he drops it again. So now I'm going
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: over to him. I'm like, hey, switch back, switch back.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: He can't really hear me. So now there's nobody in
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: left field as this play is going on, and I'm
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: standing behind Ian, probably fifteen feet behind him.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Because you're Andrew Jones, right.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: So nobody's in the left field. We have two people
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: staggered in center field, and I just hear the ball
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: get roped and it's coming again straight to Ian. The
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: ball hits off his glove and flies up in the air,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, I think I could catch this, make
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: a diving catch. The only highlight play we had the
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: entire game.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Right, was your diving catch?
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Who's the person? Because it was hard for me to
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: see back there, right, So I got I get to
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: the game. We're in the field. I think that's Taylor
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: out in center field. I'm not really sure what he's wearing.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: But then I see him drop a ball and I
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: was like, there's no chance that's Taylor. Somebody else. And
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: then they came in from from the end of that
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: halfening and I was like, Okay, that was Taylor out
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: and left so he didn't drop anything. But my experience
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: is so I get there and I'm like I hear
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: from Anthony. He's like, hey, your wish might be coming true.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: I think we're about to get mercy ruled and you
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: won't have to do a damn thing. I was like, this.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Works out perfectly.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: But I'm getting there. I've got my slides on, and
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: they're like, is he I think you're up next? And
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: I was like, what do you mean?
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: And so I'm like putting on my shoes and my
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: football cleats because I don't have baseball cleats, putting on
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: my shoes. And then I hear like strike two and
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh wow, I better hurry up.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: So so you're down two strikes before you even enter
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the batter's box.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: The guy that's in the actual battle.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: All right in front of him, Shame on him for
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: getting to two strikes. I mean, it's fucking softball.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: For crying out a few minutes, okay, okay, good start
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: trying to get into their worst day. Who doesn't want
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to play? Yes? Good?
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: And so I'm like I get my I tie my
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: shoe and they go, you're up. I'm like, great, I
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: don't get a practice swing. I don't even know which.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: I'm like, is this the bat okay, I'll use this
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: bat here. I haven't had a softball, right, anything that
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: size thrown at me in that you know, whatever speed,
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: in twenty seven years. And so I get up there,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: not even with a practice swing. It's like, all right,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: let's do this. And I didn't know you start with
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: a one one count and I see the ball coming in.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: I'm just like, based on my twenty years of experience,
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: that looks like it's going to be short boom right
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: on the plate. That's a strike. I was like, okay,
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: now I have to swing everything unless it's terrible, you know.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: And then some I'm like, because it's one two in
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: the count is what you want to and it's got
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: to be fair. So if it's foul, I strikeout. So
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: it's like, all right, there we go. And I was like, yep,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: that ball looks exactly like the last one. Here I
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: go swinging a miss, inning over and then this, uh,
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: you know, the other half of the inningcomes. They just
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: mercy rule us and the game's over. That's it. I
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: showed up five minutes, got one swing, struck out, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: the game's over. And I'm like, it's nine to eighteen.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: How is this already over. It started at nine o'clock. Yeah,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: and I guess you just gotta be better. He just
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: got to be better if you want to play forty minutes,
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: ycause otherwise.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: All you get is twenty. It seems like it worked
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: out well for you, though. I think that's what you wanted.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Want it bat your home I would have left to
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: hit a little.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Dribbler up the middle, maybe make some contact with that
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: leg it out.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: So we're going to have to totally reset goals and
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: expectations because my goal was to just win a game, right,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: I think our next goal has to be not get
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: mercy ruled in.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I think your next goal is to get rid of
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: fucking IoT. That is the next goal.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: This is like a savvy vet on the team, like
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: I just have to trust he just had a bad game.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: It's an.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: No. But he was wearing because he was wearing a
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: dr hat, it was very confusing to me.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Really he's Jewish.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: So our team, we couldn't have gotten off to a
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: better start, is he Because before you got there, our
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: our leadoff hitter. Some kid is like, I'll bat leadoff.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: He gets up there, he gets a home run first pitch.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: This guy's really good.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Really good.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Wow, So you got off to a good start, a
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: lead off home run, and Israel had to go home
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: to get his stuff.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Yes, that was probably pumping gas at this point.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: So the first inning we score. I think we score
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: all three of our runs in the first inning. I
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: know for fact we score all three of our then,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: so before we take.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: The field, and is he came back.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: No, you can't even blame this on Izzy, right, because
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: our team made about twenty five errors in the field,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: and is he didn't even step in the field.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Right, it's because he forgot his stuff. Tail.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: You can't you can't blame it on Izzy because while
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: you guys are getting mercy ruled, he's in line for
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: a pub sub or something.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: You were taking your time getting back there, right, You
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: were shooting to get back to the softball, certainly, Right.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: It's so uncharacteristic of you to forget your stuff. I mean,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I feel like you did it purposely. You are so organized.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Is he like you're ready to go thirty minutes before
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: you know?
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: No, I was. And so I'm sitting at the door
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: and I see Anthony walking out, and he's got this
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: backpack with bats sticking out, and and I just got
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: to grab my bag, which right by the door.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Well there's a difference. Anthony wanted to be there.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: You did it, Sorry, Taylor, Anthony, Anthony and his only
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: a bat struck out looking flicking.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: I did more than him.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Wow, bat on the shoulder, What did you do? Trailer?
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So my first at bat, I hit a like
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: a line drive single in front of the center fielder,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: and then I'm the I'm I think I'm the only
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: person who got up a second time outside of like
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: three other people Mikey. The second time I got up,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: the picture got in my head because I'm stepping up
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: and he's going move in outfield, move in out whoa.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: That's part a softball.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a big part of the game.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: It is made. Do you really need to if you're
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: your mercy ruling the other team, do you really need
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: to call out the opponent like that? Yes, at least
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: have a sign or something, you know, make it so outvious.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Now you say it out loud, you embarrass him, and
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: you start to get in his head.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: That's what you do, even if he's Andrew Jones. I mean,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: but I don't know.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Like I did the math, I was like, all right,
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: we're playing this mini game that was seven dollars worth
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: of softball right there for me to get one thing
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: and not touch anything. It's like all right.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: The next week, Stude, maybe my favorite moment of the
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: game was, now Ian's got the yips in the outfield.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Anybody that comes his way, I'm getting scared for him. Yes,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: they they rope a grounder in between third and short
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: and it's just going to Ian. He he just has
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: to stop. He just has to stay in front of
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: the ball.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Right, But he's lacking confidence at this point, so yeah,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I get it right what he.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Is He is leaking confidence right right. The ball all
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: goes through his legs and goes all the way to
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: the outfield wall, and I'm watching him run to the
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: wall to get the ball. And he said that when
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: he's running to the wall to get the ball, he
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: almost just kept going to his car knocking.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Back, which by the way, is exactly what Taylor did.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: And Ian, as soon as the game was over, like
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: we're over there, we're like settling in and just like
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: because I had just gotten there, said a few words,
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: and so like Anthony and I are like all right,
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: now we got all this stuff and we look and
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Taylor and Ian long gone, like he's long gone. And
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: I was like, all right, by Taylor, sela because it worked.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: You know, it was a little late of the nine
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: pm start, so I'm thinking he's probably not gonna go,
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: you know, maybe get a drink afterward or whatever, but
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: maybe and it's just like, Okay, we'll see you later.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: And it was the most irish of goodbyes I've ever
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: seen from my Italian friend. So I'm like, you'd not
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: like us or was it just a little later?
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, and you were embarrassed and shamed and
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: no one wants that way, Taylor.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: So you rode with Ian? Is that is that accurate?
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: No, we took separate cars. He showed up to the
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: game with his girlfriend. I have this text from him
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: just so people don't think I'm embellishing how bad his
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: performance was. Yeah, most embarrassing sporting experience of my life.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: My girlfriend probably thinks I made it up when I
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: said I was good.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: At sports, Well she does. Did you break up.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: And he wanted to get out of there as fast
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: as possible. I'll give you a pass on that one, Taylor.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: If you have.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: Eight errors on the field and left field. Can you
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: ever say you're good at sports again?
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Put it on no, no, and she should break up
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: with him if she hasn't already.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: This, this text he sent me, is he what time
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: would you say that game ended?
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: We got our night back fairly early nine seventeen. I
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: looked exactly when it ended.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Home, in time for the end of the Pistons the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Lakers game.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Now that so this text message just to show you,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: was at twelve thirty.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Am from Ian, So he's still thinking about it right.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Twelve thirty am. I keep replaying my seven errors. Just
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: a nightmare out there.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: And you wonder why I didn't want to get put
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: out there. Somebody who does not claim to be good
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: at this sport not gonna have fourteen errors.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, but Ian was so bad. I have a feeling
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: you will be out there at some point busy.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm out of your stuff. Taylor, who was
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: the person who ended up catching the dropped pass or
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: the dropped ball in center field? There was one that
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: bounced off somebody that you dove in at the end.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: It was Yes, that was the one time I heard
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: the other team complimenting us. Wow, that's a good catch
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: by that guy over there.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: So Taylor walked away from that game even though you
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: guys got blown out of the ballpark. He felt good
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: about his performance. I catch, I mean, so I didn't.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I felt good about my defense. Again, the defense was
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: never a concern. The lasting moment for that game for
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: me is gonna be when they said bring the outfield
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: in when I was bad and what you do? Yeah,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: all right, I popped off to the shortstop.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Then you want to know why, because you were trying
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: to hit the ball so fucking hard to prove that
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: picture wrong.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: And that's why he did it. And he was right.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Yes, he's also got Taylor does. He's got this weird
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: like pre swing swing, like he gives a little half
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: swing and then swings, and I'm like, that's got to
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: throw off your timing.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: As the ball's coming.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, unless that was something he did in that
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: one at bat, but it looked like it to me.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: So hold on, Taylor, because I know sometimes you'll stand,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: you know, you'll stand over a golf ball and you'll
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: bring your club back right just to kind of get
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: the motion going and then bring it.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: To a full stop in front of the ball. Again.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: And then do it. Taylor, you're taking is this? Explain
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: yourself because I'm confused as to why you're taking a
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: half swing before the.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Confused as to what I'm saying.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Right, So I'm gonna have to go back and look
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: at the tape what because I don't know what I'm
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: doing hitting. Listen, I've never claimed to be Barry Bonds.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Joe balls in the air. You kind of gave one
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: of these and then like you kind of gave a
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: half swing and then win. Now it's just like all right,
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: I mean I could see that working, but it didn't
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: seem like it worked for you.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: So I'm strictly a tool two.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Tool critiquing someone else.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: I'm a tool tool player fielding, base running. That's that's
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: really all I bring to the table.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Two tools.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, I'm a one tool player. I can maybe run
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: the bases.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: That should be your name for you and I and
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: two tools the tools.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: I need to stay on this softball game for just
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: a second. And this terrible team the Teller and Israel
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: part of with their best player or one of their
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: best players, or a guy who claims to be their best.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Player, where's a d R hat He's Jewish, He's terrible. Okay,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: his name is I.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: I mean that's a good summary.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: And is he's late to the game and trying to
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: avoid getting to the game. But Mike yea, I am
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: wondering here because you and I are not playing on
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: this team, thankfully, and so I am wondering here.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: How do you feel about the guy who brings.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: His girlfriend to an I don't even know how would.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: You would define it?
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Is it a league?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: A guy who brings his girlfriend to a softball game?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: That means nothing.
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: It's it's a bold It's a bold move, especially if
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: you are not one hundred percent sure that you can
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: catch a pop up. And I can't imagine Ian is
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: now one hundred percent confident he can do it.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, Uh do you think they were doomed so they
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: showed up to this field?
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Is he's late?
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: They're scattered, people are all over the place, there is
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: no one is organized. And the other team shows up
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: in uniforms. They have numbers, uniforms. I'm assuming names on
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: the back of those uniforms. Perhaps the uniforms were sponsored
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: by a local plumbing company.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. That's the way you do it.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Softball they're conditioning.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I think, right, Mikey, do.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: You just turn around and go home when the other
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: team is wearing uniforms?
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, yeah, if it's not one of those
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: leagues where everybody is given uniforms. Yeah, yes, you show
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: up and they're all wearing uniforms and you just go, okay,
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: we're done.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, they're texting each other in the morning, going game day,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: game day, game day, game day, and is he's trying
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: to figure out how to avoid game day.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there is somebody who is texted.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: Going, I've been looking over the lineup, and I'm starting
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: to think we can need to swap seven and nine
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: and give us a little more speed on the base paths.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Right, And this is the kind of team I've been
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: in these softball leagues where now they're talking shit.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: About you guys.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: You just know it behind your backs, like hey, Israel
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: goody eras he doesn't want to be there, and they're
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: circulating that around the league.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, that ESPN guy.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the jew and the dr hat not good.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: I went into that game so optimistic and the only
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: thing I have last night for dinner, stew It's humble pot.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm considering not telling them that I actually
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: am a Dominican because then they'll be super disappointed. They'll
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: be like, this freaking guy, tell them you're Jewish, Well,
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: Nate's Israel. I probably go away with it.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Show up wearing an Israel hat.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Wow, actually these days that might be dangerous, but I
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: might do it.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: Anyways, as wearing a tr hat right now.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: I did get a couple of these stew like a
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: couple double takes while I was in the handshake line.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, that was me striking out like idiots.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Did anyone peppery with NBA questions?
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: No, maybe next week, but no, not yet.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: I mean uniforms suck. I mean you show up and a
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: team has uniforms. They've been waiting for that game there
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: this season, for their entire lives. This is their year.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: I really don't understand the point of uniforms either, because
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: we all know which side you're on, you're on the
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: and the other teams in bed. Why do we need uniforms?
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Are we talking in.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: The sleeveless what are we talking about?
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Or just T shirts?
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: I think it was the ones with like a couple
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: of buttons like at the top.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: You pay, you pay extra for that.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they were all wearing baseball pants too, right right,
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Oh that's the worst.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: See. I wore like whatever, the compression long sleeve pants
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: and AJ's like, what are you going to be doing
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: a bunch of sliding? And I was just like, I
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: don't know what I'm gonna be doing. I haven't played
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: in twenty seven years, and I'd like to protect my knees.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Sliding seems to be your game, though. I mean, you're
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: not gonna hit one out of the outfield. You're gonna
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: try to lug out a single. You might slide in
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: the first and who fucking cares. You gotta do what
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: you gotta do to get on base. You know, maybe
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: maybe it'll be a fill in slider.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: So the team you played, the team you played definitely
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: tries the hidden ball trick.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Oh at some point, Oh no doubt did they.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: The team we play has practiced tonight, probably.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: The game because they didn't get enough softball in against you. Guys.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: We give up three to that team. Get on the
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: end line.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: The starter's job is in question.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: There are two guys on our team who definitely regret
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: joining the league. The one guy who started let off
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: with the homer who had.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Staring at one of them.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: He's third place, third place because these other two guys
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: really good and their infielders. And I'm telling you, Taylor,
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: tell me I'm wrong. Not the guy who hit the
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: home run, not the shortstop, but I think the first baseman.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Tell me, if you didn't squint, he looked exactly like
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Derek Jeter.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: I can't see that. So is he you missed his
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: at bat?
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: His at bat was after he was our two hitter, right,
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: he almost went back to back. He thought he hit
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: a home run, so he got a very long single.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: So that's when we were starting to feel like a
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: little good.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: I was up next.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: I hit him over to third, and then I think
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: we got no hit from that point on.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: No hitting softball. A KEG League softball team with.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Like a half dozen strikeouts.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Wait till we play football, you know what. I'm gonna
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: have somebody film a little bit off football. We'll actually
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: have some footage. And so what do you mean until
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: we play football?
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: This team is so good at softball they're now playing football.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Different, different, different group of people.
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: I want to see video of the softball.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: I'll do sure the football.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: I'm sure you guys are going to be competent enough
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: that it's gonna be like, oh, yeah, that was that
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: was a nice play the softball I want. I want
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: the Benny Hill music behind it. I want to get
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: the other team scream and check your game, change your
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: app for updates.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I would like to I would like to volunteer my
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: services to call one of these softball games live from
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: the field.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: Please your color app.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Thank you so, Mikey funny enough that you should mention
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: that idea. I was talking to Billy Gill earlier this
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: week and I was like, I think I'm gonna do
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: a a office style documentary on this softball team. And
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: then after the game he said, how'd it go? Did
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: you get any video? And I go, Billy, I didn't
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: get any video, but if I did, it would be
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: embargoed because I would never want people to see that.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Billy is now going to go to the ends of
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: the earth to try to find that. You don't say
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: that to Billy. When you tell Billy that embarrassing things
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: happened to you, Billy will go on a quest until
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: the end.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Of time to find out what it was and get
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: proof of it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: He will, because I'm telling you, the video of Roy
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: jump roping might be the most damning athletic feet or
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: attempt anybody at that show has ever done, never saw
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: the light of day.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: No, Roy's a great athlete. I mean, Roy hit a
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: baseball outside. He did, he hit I was there. I
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: think if you saw him.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Jump rope, you would completely change your mind.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I know, but I saw him hit a baseball out
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: of Marlin's Park.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: But I'm telling you what I saw, and I'm telling
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: you it's more impressive on the opposite end of the
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: spectrum than hitting a home run in a Major League
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: baseball park.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: So I consider Roommdian like a brother. We've grown up together,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: we played baseball together for our entire life. I would
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: never do that to him, putting out that footage. That's
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: how bad it was.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Really, that's softball. It's always like a brother. I know,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: but you got I mean, that is softball. It is.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: You're right, that's softball.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: But you can't sit around telling everyone how great you are,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: bring your girlfriend to the game.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: And then put up a dud like that. After the
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: pie week he was rested.
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: You and I have different versions of brothers, because my
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: brothers would have that on the internet.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Billy's my brother.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: You have any easy out, just be like as he
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: did it. Mikey did it. It doesn't happen to be you.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: How to get the film? Don't ask any more questions,
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Tell him I demanded it.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Your job was at stake. There you go, easy answer.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: We got Stu call in our next game.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Oh well, and Mikey, by the way, I can't get
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: him to fly to have for anything but for this.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: For this.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm more than willing to play the field as
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: long as there's still some sunlight out because man, it's
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: hard to see things at night.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's cracking up. Excuse machine, Jesus, go ahead.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: I'm so excited about doing this. I'll fly out of LaGuardia.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I've now canceled my flights.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: Great, well, it's my fault.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Walk from LA to Raleigh. Oh my god.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Please keep us posted on the softball every every single
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: fucking second of it.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: And I want to eat on the show.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Well, my guess is, if if Taylor performs well in football,
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: he's gonna want to tell you about it too.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: The only way I'll know if you guys aren't you
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: know if you don't have a story, is if you
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: guys just win a game and neither of you really
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: do anything good or bet right, that's right, because what
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: what Taylor is now.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Looking for is his own accomplishment.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: So we could talk about him on the air and
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: to Embarrassizzi and he course, yes.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So admittedly I was on the fence about joining
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: is He's flag football league? Just because my football days
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: are kind of behind me. I put that chapter in
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: the past. But softball I's so bad stow that I'm
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: looking for any excuse to get out there.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: Just tell yourself, you put tackle football behind you. Flag
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: football is a whole different chapter in your life.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: You would gonna love it. He is searching.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: He is sprinting away from the stink of that softball
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: team and that league.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: He joined a badminton league tonight if he could.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: He's gonna show up the football with a mint and
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: just catch everything with the gloves so he doesn't have
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: to have that stench of softball on him? Will he is?
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Andrew? Joe? Is he?
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: What'd you make of no way of transitioning out of
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: softball talk. I want to stay here for the remainder
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: of Toime. I gotta be honest with you. I was Billy,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: by the way I asked that question. No one responded,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I miss Billy.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: How was he?
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Taylor good?
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: He's good?
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: We're just in a baseball TI group.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Chet Okay, does Billy want to be a part of
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: the saltball team. Billy's a good athlete.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: It's way too far for him. After where we're c B.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Smith Park, Westchester to Fort Lauderdale.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: That might as well be LaGuardia. He lives in proper Miami.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: This is pretty far for him.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I miss him dearly.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: What'd you make of Wemby last night after the game
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: talking about MVP.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: You know what I love about well is he's gonna
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: tell him to slow down a second.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I love that these things, that playing forty minutes every night,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: that winning regular season games, that having a chip on
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: your shoulder, remembering like small petty things that made the
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: NBA great, remembering what he did against certain teams and
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: who did what to him during certain games. I love
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: that he keeps all that, he stashes it all away
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: in his brain and then he comes out after the
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: game last night and they asked him about the MVP
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: and have you been thinking of about it? And he's
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: honest and he's candid, and he's like, yeah, I have.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: And then he.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Pulls out all the reasons as to why he should
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: be the MVP of the NBA, and I happen to
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: agree with him. Is he like he took some shots
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: there at Joki for not playing defense? He made it
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: clear that they've had their way against Oklahoma City, which
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: they had, which they have this year. I just like Wemby.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: He brings me back to a different time. He brings
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: me back to the eighties.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: I do he cares about Yeah, yeah, But be careful though,
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: because he's going from like mister likable Wenby to mister
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: not so likable if you start maybe disrespecting other players.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: And I don't mean not so likable for fans, I
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: mean not so likable within the league.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: You already know what he lost me when he didn't
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: give Bam his props for the eighty three.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, but what I love about him is maybe he
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: is losing some popularity inside of that league.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: He doesn't give a shit. Is he great?
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Cares about his own legacy, his own team, and he
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: cares about winning championships, and.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: When everybody, if he wins, and everybody else in that
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: league is looking at him like, yeah, it's a little unfair.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: You're a f taller than everybody else. Don't give me
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: that nonsense. Like somebody like Wemby should recognize that his
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: you know, gifts are a little greater than others. And
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: then maybe, and this is why I'm sticking on this part. First,
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: maybe give Bam some credit for developing into a player
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: who could score eighty three as opposed to you know,
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: sticking and being the player that he is. Like, we
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: all know the advantage that you have, Wemby.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Right, But I love that he's not going to give
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: that to Bam. He's just not you know, he's not now,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: but he's not gonna do it in a way that's
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: not tasteful.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: He's not just rippy. He loves Bam.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, I'm certain he thinks, he respects him, thinks
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: he's a good player.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: He's just gonna speak honestly all the time. This guy
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: is he.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: When I heard Wemby say this after the game last night,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: my first thought was like, Wow, the we're getting to
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: the end of the season, the MVP race must be
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: pretty close for Wemby to come out this publicly and
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: kind of state his case. Then I go on FanDuel
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Wemby's plus twelve hundred to win the MVP SGA is
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: minus nine hundred to win.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: His best chance is if those other guys just start
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: missing games and don't play the sixty five and then
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: he wins on a technicality. Because the thing that bugs me,
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: and I'm so glad you brought this up too, because
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to sound like just a hater, But
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: the thing that bugs me is he's trying to piece
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: together the final elements of his MVP case at the
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: end of the season, where you've got, yeah, you're gonna
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: play some high intensity games for people that are trying,
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: but then you're gonna play a lot of games that
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: they're not even trying. In the slightest more so than
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: the first half of the season. It's going to be
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: mostly down the stretch here, and so you can pile
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: up your numbers then, and so to me, especially with
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: the sixty five game rule, now the end of the
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: season is just gonna be Hey, whoever's leading the MVP race.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Just get to that sixty five number because to the
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: last ten or so games of the season not really
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: going to factor into the MVP voting. So I don't
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: think he's got a real shot at it, to be honest, dpoy, yes, MVP.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: No, where's Wenby at in terms of games?
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: He can miss two more games? I believe. I looked
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: that up a couple games ago.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: You believe you believe he's a guy that would love
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: to play all eighty two.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: He's not a void, right.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: No, I think he is. I think he's the type
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: of guy that takes care of his body. I think
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: he's you know, unless he because he's got so much
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: body that there's a lot to run into randomly and
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: so you get like a freak accident here or there.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: But no, he's somebody that wants to play. He is mentally,
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: and I've said this before, this way before the band
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: thing I said is going into this season, he is
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: mentally the dream player for a guy to have for
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: an organization, to be your franchise player because of his mentality.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Uh, he's sitting there. He's asked that question a lot
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: of guys.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: The easy thing to do in that spot is just
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: not No, I haven't thought about the No. I'm thinking
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: about what in an NBA championship And he's like no.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: And he didn't do the easy thing. He didn't take
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: the easy path. He gave an honest answer and he
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: backed it up with facts. And I love that he
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: thought about it.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, is he If you ought to have given a
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: ward out for having the Thunder's number, would he go
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: to Wemby?
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, because especially ever since they started.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: The Great War? Is yes?
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: What a weird award, the Chat versus Wemby thing that
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: already set in motion the rivalry in Wemby's head. So
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: it's and you throw in the MVP of Shay. I
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: think that's probably his biggest rival. But the one thing
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: that I find kind of I don't know one thing
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: I thought of Taylor when I heard him give his Well,
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: my one reason is this, My reason number two is
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: this some My reason number three is this Like he's
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: giving a prepared speech in front of a high school class. Well,
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: he's thought about it's well, yeah, thought about it a
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: lot and knew he'd get asked his question. And it
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: reminded me of like in the Traders when you're at
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: the roundtable, the person who has the most organized defense
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: of themselves probably a trader because they've thought about it
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: all night long and said, I know this is going
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: to come up. I So it felt like it's kind
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: of trader behavior, yes from Wemby there, but I didn't
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: love like he's young enough in his career having not
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: really won anything to yeah, I'm going to make this
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: case publicly, but ten years from now he's going to
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: look back and say, yeah, why did I do that.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: I didn't need to say that. Let my game talk
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: for itself. Because he's just sitting here typing up how
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: important defense is, and it's just like, yeah, we've heard
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: that before, but you're probably above that. You don't need
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: to be the pr guy for your own awards cases.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I am. I'm really focusing in on this having your
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: number award? How does this work?
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: What happens is Oklahoma City, they gather around, they're like, hey,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: who has our number? And they give that award to
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Wendy And what's the award? What's it look like? Is
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: it their main number? Like gold plated?
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: You get it on the road and all the fans,
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: out of respect, are just bowing to you. Hey, good
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: job man.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: So it's kind of you kind of have to agree
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: upon whoever the best team is in the NBA, and
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: then whoever does the best against that person during the season. Yes,
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: you get that award, the thunder right now, the thunder
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Struck Award.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: Change the name every year every year. I like it.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: See that's what he does when he's got out there
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: in the outfield all the time. To think he just
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: comes up with these brilliant ideas.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: When you're out there with you and that's all you got.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: I just got a text from you in Yeah you
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: think I Do you think I need an outfield glove?
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: No, he needs athletic ability. E
