• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm saying this as we head into
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: a football weekend, but we're going to start today with baseball.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: We have a story from Mikey A., the Yankee game
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: last night. There is a great Vlad Guerrero Jr. quote
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: that we want to get into as well. But Mikey,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I will tell you this. Yesterday, I told the audience
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: that you and I, We got into a fight, and
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I kicked you out because you're upset we're not on SiriusXM,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: and I'm still a believer in AM radio, and I
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: believe in the listeners of this show. And I proved
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: to you, because you were upset, you know the reason
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: that I came back to radio. I wanted to interact
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: with our listeners, with my listeners. doing this over two decades, right?
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: And we don't really solicit calls. It's not the kind
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: of show we do. But I did come back to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: take phone calls, and Mikey A. was questioning whether or
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: not anyone was listening to our show because every time
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I give out the number, no one would call in.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: So yesterday— and it's all in the messaging, Mikey A.— Yesterday,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I explained to them I crawl through a river of
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: podcasts just to get to these people at 3 o'clock
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon so I could talk to the listeners
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of this radio program and every line lit up.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's me. Maybe they don't want to talk to me.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Maybe because because I was dead set. I was sure
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: that we weren't getting the calls.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: And we've thrown out the number and the phone lines
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: never lit up.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: And then you said, Mike, get out. Yeah.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: So I left.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: And you call you throughout the number and you sent
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: me a picture. Lines were lit up. Yes.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: What I told them was, hey, we don't want to
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: run anything that's taped. We want to give you fresh material.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: But I did come back to take phone calls. And
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: if you guys call in every single day, talk about
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: whatever you want.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I don't care.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I will do this live every single day. I won't
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: tape a single thing except for today.
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: So I say this respectfully. Respectfully, the guy that called in,
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: because I was listening to the show when I got
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: kicked out, the guy that called in and said he
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: doesn't want the Yankees to win a World Series if
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: it meant Aaron Judge wasn't on the team to have
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: them win the World Series.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I laughed at him.
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: You're not a Yankee fan yet. Give me your Yankee
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: fan card.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: Oh, you're not a Yankee fan. You're an Aaron Judge fan.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Yes. Were you jealous?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: You've been waiting for that call your entire life, and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: yet I kicked you out when that.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Call came in.
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: So, Stu, when that call came in and the guy
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: finished his question, what I did was turn the dial
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: down in my car, and I just answered the question.
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: I didn't even want to hear your response.
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: You were hosting your own show in the car. You
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: didn't care what I had to say. You only cared
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: what you had to say. I turned it down.
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: I said, thanks for the call. You're not a Yankee fan.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, that is so good.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Brady Quinn going to join us in about 10 minutes
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: or so. Speaking of the Yankees, Mikey, you were at
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a Yankee game last night. You sent us a text
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that made me smile.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Tell everyone what happened last night.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: So it was a strange, it was a strange kind
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: of thing being at this Yankee game.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: Cause I don't get to go very often.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: And I was looking around and I was like, this,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: this isn't the Yankee games of my childhood. This is weird. There's,
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: there's a woman over there. She's dressed in a dress
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: eating sushi. I was like, wait a minute. this isn't
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: a baseball game. They did no roll call. Every player's
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: got a beer. George Steinbrenner would be losing his mind.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: And I was kind of feeling bad about it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: I was like, you know what? I don't know if
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: I want to be here anymore.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: And I, I walked up to the concession stand to
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: get myself to get myself a beer, get my, my
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: son a pretzel.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: And the guy goes, and he points at me and
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: he goes, Hey, I go, hi. And he's like, uh,
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: all right. So that's a beer and a pretzel. I said, yeah.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: And he comes back and he hands me two of
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: those souvenir cups with ice cream.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: And I was like, I didn't order this. And he goes,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: love the show. That's that New York market.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: That is special.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: I didn't walk back to my seat after that. I
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: floated back. I floated back. Because of all the years
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: I've been doing this, for it to culminate in me
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: getting a free ice cream for me and my son
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: in front of him.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: It's been worth it.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Your son's never been so impressed.
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: And you know for sure that guy's a listener of
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: the show because he gave Mikey ice cream.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Well, no, I thought there was going to be a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: punchline like, hey. You look like a guy who collects these.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Taylor gave me the chocolate vanilla swirl too.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Wow. Wow.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: Naturally.
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Do you guys, do you keep the, you keep the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: helmets every single time?
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: No, not me.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: My kid does, but, but those were special.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Those are special.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: Taylor.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah. They're absolute. We, we, we brought those home.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: We brought those home.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: I think if it was Taylor, he would've gotten sprinkles.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: I just know my pecking order.
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: And a little Shirley.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: Taylor gets sprinkles. Stu Gatz gets a little whipped cream
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: and a cherry.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Where does that rank for you in terms of impressing
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: your kid? Has your kid ever been more impressed than
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: he was last night?
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: I don't think he grasped it. I think he was
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: just like, oh, dad bought me an ice cream. I
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: was like, no, I didn't buy this. This was given
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: to us because daddy's special.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And you floated back to your seat. What a great evening.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: What a special night for you. Did the Yankees win?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: They did.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: They hit a grand slam. One guy hit two home runs.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: It was everything you'd want a baseball game to.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: Be after that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: What is going on here, Taylor, with Vlad Guerrero Jr.?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I love this story. He ain't taking any of it back.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Tell the listeners what Vlad Guerrero Jr.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Had to say. We can't play it for you because
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: he did it in Spanish.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: Correct.
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: So Vlad Guerrero Jr. opened up on his slumps this
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: season for the Toronto Blue Jays, and his quote was,
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: they didn't pay me to hit 40 every year. They
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: paid me for what I already did. I want people
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: to understand one thing. The money they gave me wasn't
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: for what I'm going to do. It's for what I
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: already did.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, it'd be ridiculous to pay him that amount
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of money for what he's currently doing.
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: Woof.
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: He has one home run at home. So I want
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: to give Vlad Guerrero Jr. the benefit of the doubt
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: because he's speaking in Spanish and you're wondering like maybe
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: the translation is getting lost with whatever he's saying.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: But I know somebody who speaks Spanish and was like, no,
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: like Vlad Guerrero, what he said, he said it with
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: his chest. Like he meant every word he said.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: So you're looking at him now and it's like, Vlad,
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: like this is the one thing you can't say as
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: a professional athlete.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: What's the contract right now for Vlad Guerrero Jr.? It's
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: like four hundred and twenty five million dollars.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Something like that. I mean, which is exactly why there's
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: going to be a lockout soon.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, while Taylor looks that up, I could tell
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: you he's hitting 263 with nine home.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: Runs and 56 RBIs. Yeah, so, Stu, his contract is
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: a historic 14-year, $ 500 million contract extension.
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: It keeps him in Toronto through the 2039 season.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Wait, so what was Vlad Guerrero getting paid when he
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: was playing well, when he was actually a threat?
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: And keep in mind, this is a team that probably should.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Have won the World Series last year, and he was
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: fantastic the entire season and great in the postseason. But
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: what was he being paid before he signed that extension,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering?
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: So he's been getting a good amount the past couple
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: of years.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: This says he avoided arbitration in 2025, and it looks
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: like he got $ 48 million.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: And now the contract extension is kicking in, and it's
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: basically $ 30, $ 35 million, and it keeps going up. But
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: before that, when he was coming up with the Blue Jays- Right.
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: It was like $ 7 million, $ 14 million, $ 19 million. It
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: was kind of scaling up that way.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: So he gave them very good years on the cheap, essentially.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: There are very few Bryce Harpers out there who get
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the big contract right away.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: Not everyone.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Aaron Judge. Well, no, it took Judge a while, actually,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: before he got the big contract.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: So how do you feel about the comments here of
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Vlad Guerrero Jr.? What he's saying is, hey, I gave
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: them some great years. They weren't paying me nearly enough.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: The $ 500 million contract I just signed makes up for
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: what they weren't paying me when I was having good seasons.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: It's not about what I do in the future. It's
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: about paying me back for what I've already done.
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: As a sports fan, if I'm a Blue Jays fan,
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: this is the last thing I want to hear from
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: somebody who's supposed to be my franchise pillar, my franchise cornerstone.
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: when you get a name like Vlad Guerrero Jr., and
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: especially coming off a World Series appearance, if you're the
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: Blue Jays, they've been the biggest disappointment in baseball this year,
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: where they are in dead last in the AL East,
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: and they're five games under. 500, and your MVP candidate
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: player is... is saying things like, don't worry about my performances.
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: You're not paying me for what I do in the future.
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: You're paying me for what I did in the past. Yes,
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: he feels like he was owed money. But was he,
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: is what I'm asking you guys.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Because he did perform at a very high level, and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: he wasn't playing for a lot of money, you know?
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: This is what I've said, though, in the past, like,
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: I am bashing Vlad Guerrero Jr., but if I was
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: in the MLB, I would be Vlad Guerrero Jr. I
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: would be the Anthony Rendon's. When Anthony Rendon has a
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: career year for the Washington Nationals and he goes to
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: the LA Angels offensively, on a massive deal.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Never hear from him again.
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: The second he got to L.A., Stu, Anthony Rendon was like,
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: I'm not even going to really practice anymore. I'm not
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: going to show up. I'm just going to collect my
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: check because baseball is all guaranteed money. And I think
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: the point you mentioned, this is why we're heading towards
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: a lockout where if you're the Blue Jays and you're
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: stuck with all this guaranteed money and you have Vlad
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: Guerrero Jr. with this mindset, you're probably wishing... Once we
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: get to 2037 and 2038, I wish this guy's money
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: wasn't guaranteed.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Or maybe now.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: Or maybe 2026.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Or next season, the following season. But he's going to
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: be good again, right? You guys have no doubt. He's
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: having a bad year. It's baseball. I understand that.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: It is rare to see a guy have this kind
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: of talent be so bad for so long.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: But he's been that bad for this long. But he
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: will be good again. I mean, he's not terribly old,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: is he?
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: No, he's only 27.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: That's prime, man.
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you would think with the history that he has
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: that he will bounce back.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Mikey, what are your thoughts here? I mean, it's funny.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Listen, he is being paid for what he is supposed
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: to do over the next decade. I think they're fine
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: if in 2035 he kind of goes the other way
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: because he's getting.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: Up there in age.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: But right now at 27, yes, they paid Vlad Guerrero.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Maybe there's a part of them that said to themselves,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you know what? We kind of do owe this guy
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: money for performing at such a high level and playing
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: for such a low salary for a few years. But
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: what they are paying Vlad for is not the past.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: It's for the future.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: I mean, it is.
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: It's it's absolutely.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Just such a bad look and then they came out
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: and he said they asked him again like hey did
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: you did you mean that or did you were you
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: just angry or the interpreter he said no i don't
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: regret myself i'm not lying with what i say i
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: understand some fans they don't understand the way and what
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: i was trying to say specifically but what i said
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: is the way i feel he essentially said no i
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: said i i'm not going to be very good going
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: forward because i'm getting paid for what i did he double.
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: Downed yes the rare player with more double downs than doubles.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Put it on the pole is vlad guerrero jr the
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: rare player with more double downs than doubles be sure
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to catch.

  Speaker 7: a couple of M's maybe.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Are they paying him for past performance or future?
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: All future. And nobody is better than Joe Buck.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, nobody. Kidding me? Except Sean McDonough.

  Speaker 1: of the year.

  Speaker 3: It is Augusta. It's the Masters.

• 16:55
  Speaker 1: that event, and that person is Jim Nance +. He's
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: good at college basketball. He's great at football. Jim Nance

• 17:03
  Speaker 3: That's one. You have one yet, Mike?
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go the ESPN route.
• 17:12

  Speaker 3: What are you thinking here, Taylor?
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: I have my first keep or my first save.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: I like this first save.
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: As a Knicks fan, I live and die with the Knicks.
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: And I'm living and dying with Mike Breen.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Were there names you guys crossed off?
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: The Fordham guy.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Mikey, were there names you crossed off as Taylor was
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: reading the list to you?
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Because I did it without Michaels. I did it.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: And I say this respectfully. I did it with Benetti
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: just because of the other names. And I did it
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: with Mike Tirico.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: Uh yeah i crossed off probably i'm i'm i've got
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: one guy i've got one spot for three guys is

  Speaker 7: What do you have for us so out of those
• 18:18

• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Wow got right to it the bird Thank you. Feel
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: good about that one. I know you do. Uh, EP Jason,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: what do you got?
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: Guys? I, before Taylor even read the list, I, I
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: wrote down Bob Costas and I said, I will pair
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: one of the nine with Costas. So what an interesting omission. Again,
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: he's like 90. Uh, I understand the list now. Um,
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: but I'm a big Costas guy. Love Costas.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: Um, I love Kevin Harlan. If I'm going to sit
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: down to watch a game, Kevin Harlan, I'm going to
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: ride every single time. And I just kind of owe
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: it to my generation to include Al Michaels on this list.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Give me Kevin Harlan and Al Michaels.
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: You don't know what to your generation.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Your generation will be just fine. Ricardo, what do you
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: have for us?
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: I'm going to go.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: I an eagle.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure. Right.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: And even as a heat fan, I'm going to go
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: Mike Breen because he had that famous call with Ray
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Allen hitting the shot in game six.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: No baseball.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Perfect bang.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: I thought for sure you would have thunder him with
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: a Marlin fly by play guy. down on the list
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: yeah he's on.
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: Your list though oh yeah can i give a hot
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: take here yeah if these are my two announcers for
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: the rest of my life yes gus johnson is a
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: little bit too much for me he's great though he
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: is great.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: No he is so great so good so great.
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: And he and he rises the moment every time when
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: you need a big moment yeah But I feel like
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: if I was going to the Gus Johnson well every
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: time I was watching a sports game, like the only
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: thing I do in my life is watch sports. I
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: could not have Gus Johnson calling every game.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Put it on the poll. Is watching sports the only
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: thing you do with your life? I'm with you.
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: So I do need a second name.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we all do. Me, you and Mikey. We all
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: need a second name.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: I have changed my mind three times since I made
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: my first pick.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Seven for me.
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah. No, I was sure. Like I was like, nope,
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: that's the name. I'm going with that one. Well, wait
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: a minute.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: Nope.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: I'm going with that one. I've done it three times.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: So my final spot, it comes down to three names here.
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: It comes down to, to pair with Mike Breen. It
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: comes down to Jim Nance, Joe Buck, and Ian Eagle.
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: And I think for versatility, he could do baseball, and
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: we know he could do football. I'm going with Joe Buck.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: That's what I did. Yeah.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I agree with EP Jason. I think Kevin Harlan is
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the most underrated play-by-play guy in the history of the business.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: I'm serious.
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: He is so good.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, but doesn't get enough credit for being as
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: good as he actually is.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Football, basketball, doesn't matter. He's amazing.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go Kevin Harlan as well. So I
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: have Nance and Harlan. I'm going to change my mind
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: a thousand times. I'm going to be thinking about this
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: while we're talking to Bruce Feldman.
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: I know I'm going to get a text at like
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: 10 p.m. tonight that Stugac just says, you know what?
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: Maybe Tirico.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: It depends who gets mad at me. Oh, I left
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Buck off the list.
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: You might get a text from me after watching the
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: Amazon game and saying, maybe not Al Michaels.
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, again, again.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: EP, Jason, let me tell you something.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: You don't need to watch tonight's game to say to everyone,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: maybe not Al Michaels.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: Respectfully.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Spoiler alert. He's mailing it in.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: If I told you you're getting these guys at their peak, Al.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: Michaels is on the list.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, no doubt. No doubt.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: You need a second, Mikey.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: No, well, you got to ask me because once you
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: ask me, I have to make a decision.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: I am right now. You're the only one who hasn't
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: selected a second broadcaster.
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: Iron Eagle. It's Iron Eagle. Right now it's Iron Eagle.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Perfect.
• 22:35

• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, very soon.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: A new college football show coming out, debuting, I think, tomorrow.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I'm very excited about it with our friend the Bear. Mikey,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: our thanks here to Bruce Feldman and Brady Quinn. Both
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: were excellent. We appreciate their time. I noticed you very
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: distracted while we had Bruce Feldman on. You were not
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: into it. I don't know what you were doing. What
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: were you thinking about? I could tell you what I
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: was doing. I wasn't nearly as distracted, but I think
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: that you and I were both focused on the same thing.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: I did not even realize Bruce Feldman was there. He
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: was in front of me on my screen.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: He was talking.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: He was probably saying very smart things about very important topics.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: But all I could think of was the Think About
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: It Thursday because I have been killing myself going back
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: and forth on– like I have– both included iron Eagle
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: and gotten rid of him.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: I think 13 times in my head.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: And I think I want to switch my answer, but
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: I don't.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: So I spent the entire time. I mean, I was
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: talking to Bruce Feldman and he was speaking and there
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: were words coming out of his mouth, but I didn't
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: hear him. because I was texting apologies to Jason Benetti
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: and to Ian Eagle, telling them I left them off
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: a list of nine play-by-play guys that can only choose
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: two for the remainder of time. But they have to
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: call all sports. So have you revised your list again?
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Because it's only two, Mike. You keep two, you cut seven.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: The names, again, if you're just joining us, I believe
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: they were Mike Breen, Mike Tirico, Jim Nance, Kevin Harlan,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Jason Benetti, Al Michaels, Gus Johnson, Ian Eagle, and Joe Buck.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: You can only keep two of them. They call the
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: games for the remainder of time, all the games. Regardless
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: of the sport, those two guys are going to call
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the remainder of games for the remainder of time. I
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: went with Jim Nance because I need him on the Masters,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: and I went with Kevin Harlan because I believe him.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: to be the most underrated broadcaster in the history of, of,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: of our industry.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: So I am very okay with my pick of Joe Buck,
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: just because of what you said, we are, it is
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: all sports. And I believe Joe Buck is one of
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: the few that can do any sport. He has done
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: almost every sport and, and I trust him. He allows
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: the moment to breathe on television better than anybody, in
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: my opinion, in that sometimes he knows to just shut
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: up and let you watch, let the crowd noise do
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: its thing.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to imagine Joe Buck calling hockey. I'm
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: not saying he wouldn't be great at it. I'm just saying,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to imagine it, you.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Know, until he tries to do play by play of
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: a sport and can't, I'm going to believe he can
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: do it all.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: That's fair.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, he can certainly do golf. He's done it before,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: so that takes care of the Masters for me. But
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I don't want– listen, for me, that's the most important
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: weekend of the year, so Nance has to be there
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: for me. Like, it's the only guy that has to
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: be there for me is Jim Nance. I don't want
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: to hear anyone else calling the Masters other than Jim Nance.
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: Period.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: End of discussion.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: I don't look at the Masters the way you do,
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: so I am okay– losing nance for that reason i
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: i and it's and it's not and i don't do
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: it disrespectfully i'm sorry jim i think you're wonderful at
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: what you do yes but this is decision time so
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: it's really coming down between ian eagle kevin harlan and
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: mike breen for that final spot yes.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: And mike breen just accepted mike breen just accepted my
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: apology just so you.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Know i'm not sure i'm gonna apologize to him because
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: i might keep him i might just say hey i
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: had a little bit of a hiccup i went with
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: ian But I'm thinking, but Kevin Harland is so good.
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: He's so good. Kevin Harland. No, that was E.P.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Jason.
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: Mike Breen, final answer. Mike Breen, final answer.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Mike Breen is your final answer. This is weird because
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: why is Sean McDonough not on the list? I'm confused
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: by that. And this is not disrespect. I'm not trying
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: to be disrespectful to Jason Benetti. He's a fantastic play-by-play
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: guy for the White Sox and nationally as well.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: And I love him. He's a friend. But I feel
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: like McDonough should be on the list.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: No?
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: He should be there.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: Who are you taking off?
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I just told you who don't put me in a
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: bad spot for a second time, but Eddie.
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: I mean, Jason, but Eddie's really good.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: He's so good.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: I hate this list.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Let me try it with analysts because if we have
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: two guys calling, yeah, no, I want to try this.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Do we have music for this? I need music. I
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: need some music. I always want music.
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: It makes me feel.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: So if you have two guys calling all the sports
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: games for the remainder of time, They need help.
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: Sure.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Somebody who played the sport, an analyst could fill some time.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: So I have nine analysts.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: You have to drop seven. You can keep two. All right.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: How do you keep Kevin Harlan off the list?
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: Honestly, it's hard.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Listen, he's the best of the best. Like top shelf, man.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: I agree.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: That's how I look at those nine, by the way.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: There's like a top shelf. It's like a bar.
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: And there's Joe Buck.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: There's Mike Breen. Thank you for that, by the way.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: So good. All right.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Here are the nine analysts.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: This is a lot more difficult.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: Stan Van Gundy. Well, keep in mind.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: I've got two names in my head right now.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but not only is Van Gundy in the booth, okay,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: for basketball games, he'll be in the.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Booth for hockey games.
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: Stan.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Stan's very good.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Listen, you know my relationship with Stan Van Gundy.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: I love him dearly. He is a dear friend.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: He did entire shows with me and Levitard on a
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: weekly basis, and I love him to death, and he's great.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: And Stan Van Gundy can fill time. He knows how
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: to do this. He's great at it, okay?
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Tim Legler.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: Second option.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Tom Brady.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: That's good.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Tom Brady.
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: He's getting there, Tom Brady.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: He is. Yeah, he is. He's an easy leave off
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: for me right now, but he can get there.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: I heard some Romo there from you.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Jim.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: He's not on this list. Should be. Not available.
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: Here we go.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: You want me to put Romo on the list?
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: No. Keep going.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: All right. So you have Van Gundy, Legler, Brady, Reg Olson.
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: Very good.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Greg Olson.
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: Very good.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Dare I say great. Dare I say Greg.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Olson should still be in that number one booth instead
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: of Tom Brady. And I promise you, Greg Olson thinks
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: he should be in the number one booth instead of
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady.
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: He's excellent.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: He's very good. Chris Collinsworth.

  Speaker 6: Now here's a guy. I love this guy, man.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Troy Aikman.
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: Very good.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: He's really good. I can't read my own handwriting. I can't.
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: What letter does it start with?
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: It starts with an H. Oh, Kirk Herbstreet.
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: Yes, Herbie.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Herbie.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Herbie.
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: Herbie.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: And then the last one, Mike Golick, Sr.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: Oh, see, that's not fair.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Because we love Golik and Golik loves us. Why is
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: it not fair? I don't understand. Golik's a good option.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: He can call all sports. He can. All right.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: I got my two.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: That was quick.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: Hold on.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: I got my two.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Well, one of them I had in my head the
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: whole time.
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: One of them I had in my head the whole time.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Can I guess?
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: You could. Collinsworth. No. Herbstreit.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, Herbie loves all of the reasons.
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: Yes. Yeah.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: I should hate Kirk Herbstreet as an Ohio State hater,
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: which I am proud to say I am.
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: Right. Every time.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: And he explains the game very well. He walks you
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: through it. And frankly, he's just very, very gentle with
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: old men.
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: He is.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: You're right about that.
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: He is very gentle.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Now, Michaels is what you were trying to say.
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: And Lee Corso, of course.
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: But certainly, Al. Certainly.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: There must be times where Herbie's looking at him and
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: being like, Al, come on.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: Try a little bit. Come on, help me out, Al.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: I know you've lost a little bit on the fastball,
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: but come on.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: I know you and Black Guerrero Jr. are talking about
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: what you got paid for in the past.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: All right. So Herbie, as we know, been on the show,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: friend of the show. Herbie knows baseball. He can call baseball.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not certain about hockey, but Herbie is certainly a
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: good one. Mine is Stan Van Gundy. Stan Van Gundy,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: just for the reasons I explained to.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: You before, he's great at basketball. Stan loves baseball. That's
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: his passion. So he would be great calling baseball games.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Doesn't love football, doesn't love hockey, but Stan knows how
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: to fill time.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: And that is an important part of being a sports analyst.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: So the play-by-play guy can regroup and gather his thoughts.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: You just made my decision for me.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: My number two is somebody who not only has experience
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: doing play-by-play analysts, but knows how to fill time and
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: is possibly in a hall of fame for broadcasting.
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: Yes. Give me Mike Golick. Right.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: And wrestling. He's just not in the Hall of Fame
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: that he wants to be in.
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: Who's your two?
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: This is so tough. I want to say Golick. I
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: don't want to live in a world where there's no
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Tom Brady. And Collinsworth is the best going. He really is.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go Golik because Golik can, I mean,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: across sports and he could fill time and he's my
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: friend and I'm in
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: The bag for my Golik senior and his entire family.
