But is he Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I was given the choice today at three twenty five
to have on either Jalen Brunson or person that Taylor
and mikey A introduced to me yesterday. His name is Hogdale,
and I chose Hogdale.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Wait a second, what we.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Had an option?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Well?
Speaker 5 (01:13):
First of all, should I feel weird Taylor that he's
seemingly auditioning people to film.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
My seat Hogdale Hogg film.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Oh he's got a job. He's a coach.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
I mean, he seems to have plenty of spared time
to just hang out with us.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
It is odd.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I told him it's for a coach. He has way
too much time on his Yes, I did say that
to him. I actually texted that to him.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Yes, but yeah, No, I don't think we had a
chance to get Jalen Brunson. Yes, and you're saying that
Taylor didn't stop everything and say yes, we're getting Jalen Brunton.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
He gave me the option. He said, Hogdale's available at
three twenty five. Jalen Brunton available three twenty five, and
I chose Hogdale.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
How about that?
Speaker 7 (01:48):
Well, listen, when you get a chance to get Hogdale on,
you get hogdeal. I don't know what else to tell you.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yes, Taylor turned him on to me yesterday. He calls
Red Sox games on Twitch. He shouldn't be doing that.
But this is the reason we're having him on.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Well, this man.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Taylor Pitt for Fish Fisher. My apologies. This is hit right.
Speaker 8 (02:04):
Out the short stop those a second and it's a
double play. It's a double play. Boys, whoa Red Socks Baseball.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Red Sock Baseball.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I load this team.
Speaker 9 (02:20):
I loath watching them. I can't stand watching the scene. Dude,
Holy do they suck.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Yeah, I'm sorry for interrupting the beginning of that, but
I was shocked because Jalen Brunton is somebody that Taylor
said has changed his life.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yes, but instead Hogdaale, Well, Hogdale has changed my life,
and so and it's my show, and so he gave
me the option, and I chose Hogdale. And thank you
for apologizing and saying that you see you were speaking
over that sound because I was was so nervous that
no one called for it.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
No I called for it. I was saying, you were
not the deep boy there is.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
He so far the front runner for Defensive Player of
the Year today, Defensive Player of.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
The Year today.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yes, so Hogdale get to join us at three twenty
five one a night in the NBA. Thank you to
the Knicks for allowing me to go to bed early.
Therefore I missed the Timberwolves and the Nuggets. The t
Wolves beat the Nuggets, they advanced. Nuggets are out.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Izzy.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That's a shock considering that Joe gits on that team
and Anthony Edwards was not playing for the Timberwolves.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Neither was Dante Dante DiVincenzo, neither was Io Desumo Desumu.
It was a lot of very confusing stuff going on
in this series. I'll say this about the Knicks Hawks game.
I was watching Philly and Orlando, I'm sorry, Philly and Boston,
and i'd gotten into that game a little late in
the second quarter, and then I looked up in the
top right corner and I saw the Knicks Hawks game,
(03:44):
and I was just a score and I just said, well,
thank you, thank you for not making me have to
watch a second of any of that.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I'm sure Taylor loved every second.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
Yes, oh all right, yes, I watched it three times
this morning.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
All right.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
In fact, I will tell you this, Taylor, that you
saw John Stark's there and Patrick Ewing, and he thinks
those guys could have played in the second half and
they still would have won the game.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It is.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
It was Clyde Frazier, John Starks, Patrick Ewing, Alan Houston.
You pair those four with any person on the Knicks bench,
I think the Knicks still win that game.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I was trying to play give it, Hawks win the half.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I mean it doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
It doesn't matter, Like I don't even think they get
within ten, right, Okay, but they probably win the half.
But I was saying to myself, like, how you know,
I don't know, bold do you have to be? Like
when do you take your starters out for good? And
I'm thinking I don't even bring them out for the
second half. I'll just put the starters on on on
you know, maybe some heat or whatever, and say, hey,
(04:43):
if if we need you late in the fourth quarter,
stay warm. But we're gonna play the second half of
the scrubs.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
So I have two stats that I think personally are
unbelievable from this game. The first one comes from Chris
Persian on Twitter. The Knicks made it to the Eastern
Conference Final last year, they played eighteen playoff games. Karl
Anthony Towns had more assists in six games versus the
Hawks than he did in eighteen games versus the Pistons, Celtics,
(05:08):
and Pacers.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Last, you mean Magic Towns over there, Yeah, that guy
is the next coming.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Then the other stat I have, and then you guys
could tell me which one you think is more impressive.
This one comes from Matty Mass on Twitter. Jalen Brunson,
Josh Hart, and mckel bridges own the record for largest
Final four win ever plus forty four against Oklahoma. And
they also hold the record for the largest NBA playoff
halftime lead ever, plus forty seven against the Atlanta Hawks.
(05:36):
And now here's the interesting part. Yeah, Buddy Heald was
on the losing end of both those games.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Buddy hild a Hawk.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I mean he was a Sooner too.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Wow, But thank you to the Knicks for not making
me watch a second of that.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yes, and now we have a Game seven in Philadelphia,
two annoying fan bases, Philadelphia and Boston playing for the
right to face another annoying fan base.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
This is going to be exciting.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Philly looks like a different team when you get when
it's Paul George, Joel Embiid, you Bray, Maxi and edgeco.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
That's a different team.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
It does well, specifically when Paul George is playing this well,
because it feels like.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
He's an absolute luxury on this team.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
You need it from Embiid, you need it from Maxi.
You can get good games from VJ, but he's also
a rookie, so you can't expect it, but you can
get them with Paul. You don't know or haven't really
known all year long what to expect. Yes, toward the
end of the season into the playoffs, he's looking like
his old self. You know, maybe he found a way
to not test positive for a ped and it's still
(06:35):
doing well. But yeah, I think he is the big
difference maker I think in this series because if you
line him up with Jalen Brown and say, hey, at
their peak, who's the best player, I think most people
will say Paul George, Jason Tatum and Paul George. I
think it's you know, it's a coin toss. I would say.
So if he is playing anything like his best self
(06:55):
and you still got embiid in Maxie, I mean that's
a pretty scary proposition.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
News was Denver is out, they lost, Joki is out.
He played well. They got contributions from Cam Johnson. It
was Jamal Murray was the problem last night.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
He was last night, he was throughout the series. He
didn't have a single game where he shot even fifty
percent from the field, and he had three thirty point
games in there. Two of those thirty well, two of
the three thirty point games they actually won. But I'm sorry,
excuse me, take that back. Two of the three thirty
point games they lost. So how effective is he really
if he's scoring a lot and not doing it efficiently.
(07:28):
But I think there's gonna be some Jamal Murray questions.
But I think obviously the first first person you look
at is NIKOLEA. Jokic, And it's not just Okay, he
put up some numbers, but this is a guy who
stu if I told you in that championship run that
he had that he beat four teams that had won
I think forty six or less.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Games. Yeah, he did.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
He has and yet has yet in his career to
beat a fifty win team in the playoffs. And this
was a Minnesota team that was playing again without Anthony
Edwards toward the end of the series, without Dante DiVincenzo.
And it just makes you wonder, right, have we been
sort of over glazing Nikoleokis if you will, because his
numbers are so fantastic, But when you actually look at
(08:09):
what he's done in the postseason in the playoffs for
his team or his team as a whole, is he
really elevating them the way a guy that you say
has won three MVP's and could be and has been
labeled for the last five years six years, the best
player in.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
The league, not by me, but by many others. I've
never so it's interesting. So now you're talking about legacy stuff,
you're talking about his career as a whole. I didn't
have expectations for Nicola Djokitch, and I think expectations there
are a big part of it. I had expectations for
Michael Jordan. I had expectations for Lebron.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Even after the MVPs. You still don't elevate those expectations now.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
And so if you told me before he got started,
like before his first game in the NBA, he would
have three MVPs and he would have one NBA championship, yeah,
I tell you, he exceeded my expectations.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
You know.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
It's so funny. You never adjust those right based so
like it has to. The person has to come in
with those expectations. Like for example, if it was Zion
Williamson who came in number one pick, we all knew
him from Duke obviously, if he at this point or
at whatever, nine years into his career has won three
MVPs and just one title, and basically the same resume
(09:21):
as Joker not beating a fifty win team, would you
call him disappointing?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Uh geez?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Nine years, one title, three MVPs. He's healthy, he wins
three MVPs. Yeah, I would say he should win more
than one title, yes, right, Yet expectations lofty expectations like
everyone else for Zion Williamson when he came into the mv.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
That's crazy interesting because we chatted about this for a second,
not really in depth, right before we got on the air,
And when you said that or sort of a mentioned that,
I was like, huh, I didn't think that that was permanent, right,
Like I didn't think you just despite like Jannis Antetokoupo,
for example, he was not a lottery pick.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
He was not a known person.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
He comes out dominates with that body type, and you know,
wins an MVP, wins a championship, all thinking he needs
to win more.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Right, Yes, And I'm not saying the expectations don't shift
slightly as the career goes on. But then you enter
in other players like SGA and other teams like Oklahoma City,
and I just feel like Jok, it's disappointing losing in
the first round to a team that doesn't have their
best player.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
It's disappointing.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
You expect more from Jokis, But I was not expecting
them to win an NBA title this year.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
I wasn't expecting them to go out in the first
round though, right to a team that was falling apart
health wise in Minnesota, and so to me, I think
I think it's fair to say what you're saying. I
don't think that that's actually you having perspective.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Which is a.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I'm not calling him a bust.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I'm not saying right, I'm not doing any of that
because listen, Jokich has exceeded every expectation I've ever had
for him.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Jamal Murray bust.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
But starting next year, after this first round exit, yeah,
nothing changes for you. Like if he can go out
in the first round every single year from now on
and just be like, hey, he did what he did
and that was all I expected from him.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yeah, he's done enough.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Interesting because for most people, most sports fans, I think,
and I want to get Taylor's take on this, most
sports fans think he has been since the winning the
championship three years ago, slightly disappointing, and we're all wondering, Hey,
can't you do more with this MVP level play.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
There's also a style of play thing for me with him,
like there is with SGA. He can't jump off the floor,
he could barely dunk. I mean he makes great passes,
great The game looks ugly when the ball's not going in,
it's uglier. When it goes in, it's ugly. And so
I don't want Jokich advancing to the NBA Finals. I
don't want to watch him anymore.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
I'm tired of it.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
I think Jokic's personality too, is part of it, where
he almost seems bored when he's at these press conferences.
Where if you told me today, like if Shaum's came
out today and said sources are telling me Yokic is
happy that the Nuggets are eliminated so he could go
back home, I would believe it. I would believe that
which one makes him happier.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'm totally with you on that he gets to go
home for the summer, or he advances in the NBA playoffs.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I think he's actually miserable if the advances, so is he.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
I think there is something that where it doesn't seem
like Jokic has these expectations for him, so the fans
might not be putting these expectations for him. And I
think the flip side of that, who my biggest winner
is this series? Jaden McDaniel Oh yes, Oh, Because Jaden
McDaniels came in was talking all this crap. They asked
him yesterday like were you trying to get under their
(12:20):
skin or do you just not care? He was like,
I just don't care. I just don't care. And then
he backs it up with thirty two points and sends
that team home.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Thirty two points without everybody else. And then they have
like Terrence Shannon Junior just showing up out of nowhere,
looking like an athletic freak that can just give you
twenty four points at any time. And it's like, what
is going on with these timber Wolves?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Is it them?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Or is it the Nuggets?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
That will happen at home though for players like him?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Right?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Or if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen at home, right, sure,
where they're more comfortable. Right, Yeah, You're not gonna see
that guy do that on the road too often.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I mean maybe not. I've never seen him before, right, Yeah,
I did.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
My word association with Tarren Channon junior. He played at
Illinois and they retired his jersey. And when they when
they pulled the curtain off the banner, the jersey going
up in the rafters was upside down.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah, but at least it wasn't next to a bathroom
and a bar.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Right side up though.

Speaker 10 (14:09):
In Game six, the Temperwls close outs the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
I still don't know who Terrence Shannon Jr.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Is. Hogdale is with us. This is very exciting.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I was just explaining to him the only thing that
makes and he's on brand. But I was explaining to
him the Taylor and mikey A are big time Yankee
fans and the only thing that makes them happier than
the Yankees doing well is the Red Sox playing poorly so.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
And now Hogdale on their dands.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
How I was turned on to him and what he
does with the Red Sox games.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
These two turned me on to you, Hogdale.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
Yeah, and you know what, I wish I could say
I was better, but like I'm not, like no when
the Yankees, sufferer gives me energy. So it's completely understandable.
You guys are true Yankee fans. Congratulations. What I hate
is like Marty Bush, my coworker, where he's like, I
just feel so bad. It's like you're reveling in this.
You in this, be happy, take your victory.
Speaker 11 (15:05):
Lap, Hogdale. Stu Gotts is a Mets fan, and he
thinks we care about what the Mets do, like you're
you're like fifteenth on our list. The only team that
we revel in their misery is the Red Sox, the
only team must Yankee fans care about.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
That's completely valid, I will say, because the only team
I hated even close to the Yankees for a while,
Like the Blue Jays were super unlikable for a couple
of years when they were the Bacon Cheeseburger Brigade with
Alec Manola and you know, just a group of dudes
who look like me, like out in the field and
managing them. Now it's like they've cut down the BMI.
You know, Laguerreo lost some weight. It's really just John
Scheider now, who's the Pillsbury dull boy.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
But it's okay, Hogdale game popularity by calling Red Sox
games on Twitch. And we'll get to that in a second.
Is your real name Hogdale?
Speaker 6 (15:55):
No?
Speaker 8 (15:55):
No, my real name is Grant, much more boring better,
dog goes better it is, Yeah, I intendify. That's it's
a nickname I got from my dad. He calls like
the male members of our family.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
That okay, what every male member of the family is Hogdale.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Basically me and my brother. My uncle's Yeah, like the
people he cares about alis.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, so you call your brother Hogdale, and your brother
calls you Hogdale.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
It's more of like a one way straight like my
dad calls us that. We don't really say that to
show and get sent out right. Yeah, well now everyone
calls me that. It's just like what I'm knowing by,
which makes him very happy.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
If you want to watch Hogdale on Twitch be miserable
about his red Sox. We have a clip for you here.
We played it yesterday on the radio show. A tailor
is gonna play it right now, and I'm going to
ask you, Hogdale to kind of take me through what
it is. I'm not certain you should be doing this.
I'm not certain you can be doing this. You're broadcasting games.
Someone's paying a lot of money for it. I will
watch you every single night, but tailor will play a
(16:51):
clip here and I want you to kind of take.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Us through it afterwards.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
Okay, absolutely? Oh one is the count here Pitt for
Fischer Fisher. My apologies.
Speaker 8 (16:58):
This is hit right short stop thoms a second and it's.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
A double play.
Speaker 8 (17:03):
It's a double play boys whoa Red Sox, baseball, red
sock faithball.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Load this seam.
Speaker 9 (17:16):
I loathe watching them. I can't stand watching the scene. Dude,
holy dude, they suck.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Before you explain, there, I listen. I love Sean McDonough.
He's a friend of mine. If you replaced him, i'd
be happy with it. Okay, how about that.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
I love Sean.
Speaker 8 (17:41):
I need to meet him in real life. I need
to meet him. But uh yeah, Like, listen as if
you can when you watch the video. See I'm smiling
like as I'm yelling about this because I called that.
I'm like, there's no runs being scored here, guys, And
it's funny as I looked in the chats like I
completely agree, and it's just like we're all sitting here,
we know something horrible about to happen. They're so worthless
(18:02):
with runners in scoring position this year. It's they've been
so feeble. It's such a joke to watch.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
How long have you been doing this, Hogdale?
Speaker 8 (18:13):
I started in twenty twenty four, Yeah, twenty twenty four seasons,
so it was my third full season doing it.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Okay, And has Sean McDonough ever reached out to you?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
How you know nothing.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
He is not.
Speaker 8 (18:25):
No, I do tux with Wolf Fleming, though occasionally guy
has the radio for the Socks.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
All right, I'm going to make your dreams come true.
I'm somehow going to get hogdown on with Sean McDonough together.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Okay, how about that? Loved him.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
I got a lot of respect for what he does.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yes, yes, so you're in Iowa. Right? Were you born
in Iowa?
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Yes? Yeah, born and raised.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Okay, so how'd you become a Red Sox fit?
Speaker 6 (18:46):
My dad is from Rockland, Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (18:49):
He got me into the Pats. The Socks raised me
in the golden era of Boston Sports West.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Oh, that is winning, Hogdale.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
It's one You've been raised with expectations, like when your
team wins a you just become addicted to it. The
thing is all sports fans are such hypocrites, and they
say like, oh, if my team wins, I'll never ask
for one again. You're a liar within two years. Within
two years, like that itch comes back. It's like I
want to feel that again.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yeah, it's like you're chunky.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
You can never get enough of it?
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Yes, Hognil, does it feel like these kind of crashouts?
Can only come from baseball fans because of how long
the season is and how emotionally invested somebody who watches
all one hundred and sixty two games can get.
Speaker 8 (19:28):
The thing is because I do Patriot games as well
during the season, and I do think my crashouts are
less venomous during football season. Yeah, there's something like that
is uniquely special about being in the thick of a
team that's genuinely horrible one sixty two.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
It's the same thing every day.
Speaker 8 (19:43):
They fail you in the same like three or four
different ways every game, and they're throwing a curveball every
now and then. But uh yeah, I think that like
it can only I can only get this level of anger.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
Wheren genuinely furious at the at the Boston Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I mean, mikey A, we can relate.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
He's right, hogdelle right where Jet fans hog though, I
mean called Jet games for.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Us your sad secks related to him.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
Thet horor of my life for the Patriots lasted like
five years.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Yeah, we lost the Super Bowl. It's like, dude, at
least we were back, but the team's good shape.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yes, what do you make of the firing of Alex Cora,
what you what do you make of that?
Speaker 8 (20:23):
I mean, I was one of the few fans that
was sharing in the streets. Where people will get it
twisted though, is they're like, oh, so you think it's
all his fault. No no, no, no, no, no, Craig Bruslow. If
it was up to me, they would have left together.
They would have blown the entire thing up. But uh,
to me, it's set the stage for the inhuman automaton
masquerading as a person who's running the baseball team to
(20:46):
be fired by the Boston Red Sox and the end
of the year, because basically what they said is, oh, well,
there's no one else you can blame. We got rid
of corps, we got everyone who said they're not executing
their vision.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
Your vision, go ahead, bozo.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Wait, So the idea on Twitch is not for people
to watch the game. It's for them to watch you
watching the game and being miserable.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
Right, That's basically Yeah, it is funny because like I
like to think that that, like my normal banter is
entertaining enough, and then I see like something bad labb
into the socks, and literally my viewership will like triple
in like five seconds. And I'm like, you guys are
just here to see chuckles the as Clomb guys I get.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
At Hong Kong. Yeah, we go and you deliver. You
deliver every time. Magdale. I mean you're showman. You know
what they want? You give it to them.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Man.
Speaker 8 (21:34):
Yeah, well yeah, they watch when there's really good, like
super good things happening. First Personael good and then like
the bottom of like thirty percent down is then also
where they tune in.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
It feels like you have a great pulse of the
Red Sox fans, the Red Sox community. How much do
the Red Sox fans hate this current ownership group where
you have players like Mookie Betts and your boguards Rafael Devers,
you bring an Alex Bregman, but then you let Alex
Bregman leave. How much if that falls on the ownership
and how much do Red Sox fans hate the ownership?
Speaker 6 (22:05):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (22:06):
Red Sox fans hate ownership like Eveler fan base is like,
look at us, like we're insane when we talk about
how much like we hate John Henry because yeah, like
they have won four World Series in this century and
it just kind of shows like how awful you have
to be to completely light that burn, that goodwill on fire.
But I would say, like the average Red Sox fan
hates John Henry about as much as the DA's Hey
John Fisher.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Genuinely, they cannot stand this guy.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
I love you, dude. I want you to host a podcast.
I think you're good at this.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
I do.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I'm not even joking in I love that.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
Thank you. He's got a Red Sox podcast.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
No, oh oh wow, you do a podcast as well?
I do every one. Do we do that hot down? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (22:47):
Do one for Barstool.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
It's called Dirty Water do with Mike Mananski, industry veteran
Jesus and then infamous Twitter troll cutter Is King, who
is most famously noted for going at him and jazz
Chism having a back and forth on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I tell you this, big Cat, I mean, he gets
all the great talent, big Cat.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I want you? Is this tampering? Am I tampering right now? Dale?
Speaker 6 (23:09):
God?
Speaker 8 (23:10):
Because yeh, Dave found me last year like because of
my uh it was a call for the Red Sox
one game one of the wild card.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Yes, was wonderful. They flew me down to New York,
hied me on the spot.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
I would have hired you on the spot had I
known about you earlier. I'm sorry about that, Hogdale, my apologies.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
I am wondering.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Has anyone ever reached out and saying, hey, you can't
broadcast our game.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Someone's paying us a lot of money to do that.
I mean, no, Well, thing is I.
Speaker 8 (23:32):
Don't show the actual game obviously, I have the audio
on the back the key. Yes, if they if they
asked me to not play the audio, I just do it.
I really just do it because it sounds uncanny, like
if it's just me and it's just like white noise
or it's.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Like right, yes, it's just maybe it makes it seem
a little more sad. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
So how many people tune in on a normal basis
to watch you watch a game?
Speaker 8 (23:53):
I mean over the course of a stream, Like I
usually get like a thousand per on twitch and YouTube,
so it's like two thousand total.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Usually it's like my clips are going crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Do you find like you're getting more when they're losing
or or when they're winning?
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (24:06):
Went on average this year, way more when like they're losing,
and it's usually done right, Yeah, it usually is in
the moments, like just after something bad happens, like, yeah,
the viewership does go up when good things wrapped you.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
It's like, oh, let's see, let's let's see.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
I know Rgdale's react, but no, like people really have
like I think I pavl of them where they like
they just associate me with the Red Sox failing tremendously
because they're like, Okay, let's I'm angry.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Let's go watch a guy be angry about.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
It will be the part of.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
Hogdale. Did you get into the World Baseball Classic at all?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (24:40):
He called the games for it for a Team USA.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Very so you were Were you rooting for Team USA?
Speaker 6 (24:46):
Absolutely? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I mean were you?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Does that mean you were rooting for Aaron Judge?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yes, because Taylor was Hogdale. Just so clear, U tailor
put country aside because the Yankees are more important to.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
The States of America. Yeah, and he could. He could.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
He had to turn his Red Sox fans who legitimately
were actively rooting against Aaron Judge while also rooting for
Team USA, and a lot of them succeeded in that
kind of striking the balance.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yes, this man Taylor right here turned his back every
time Roman Anthony came.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Up to the back. That's what respectable. Yeah, oh no,
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (25:21):
I have more spoke for for guys, like for Terrek Skooble,
who hates America.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Guys, he hates America. He didn't I understand why he
did it.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
At the same time, though, I'm like, I wish you
didn't go half an half, but just don't.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Go you know, right? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, like hog de can you call a game like
Bob Costas style?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
I feel like you can. I feel like you're talented
enough to do this, Like.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Oh yeah, I'm sure.
Speaker 8 (25:41):
I God if I if I gave it the effort
right to dial it back, I improve my pros though, Yeah,
I got to improve my verbal pros.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
For sure.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
You gonna start substituting. That's where where its it was
the more flowery language and a picture.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
Yes, yeah, since since Dave flew you out to uh
New York to call the playoff games last year, have
you been back to Boston since? Because I have to
imagine that would be you know, pretty jarring, where all
of a sudden you're walking around a place that you've
probably been to plenty of times in Fenway Park and
(26:14):
now people are are recognizing you on the streets. Now.
Speaker 8 (26:16):
The funniest thing is growing up, I never got to
go to Fenway Park. My family is broke, like dead broke.
As I gotten older, I went for the first time
like three years ago, and then last year is the
first time I went down. It was before I even
got hired by Barstool, and the reception was jarring, like
it blew me away, and it completely validated everything I
was doing I was getting right. I got recognized, like
by the dude at the ticket office, is are you Dogdale?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Yeah, I'm like, what a bunch of people?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
The next step is how how do you parlay all
this fame in the free tickets into season tickets? You
should never pay a dime when you walk into fen.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Went in the first pitch. Yeah, we're we're working on it.
I don't think.
Speaker 8 (26:55):
I can't imagine at the highest end of the brass
are big vans of me.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, when you say you're working on it, what do
you mean by listen? I could take care of that.
I could bridge the gap. When you say you're working
on it, what do you mean you're working on it?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
What are you doing? Stuff? O?
Speaker 10 (27:07):
You?
Speaker 6 (27:07):
I mean, I'm just putting the work in.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Talking.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
I'm always trying to earn people's respects just by you know,
putting the work in. I think it's people, Uh Like
during football season, people seem to not like me way more,
and then they say like, oh, this guy's are real
sick of like he's actually doing this like every single game.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Hu.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
It's like I was doing it last year. But I
understand you didn't see me.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Then, right, But you're going for people not liking you, right,
you don't care if they like you.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Who gives a shit, No they don't like me.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
It's whatever. I mean, you do what you can.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
I mean, yeah, I will say that the comment sections
are very fun and entertaining, much more entertaining.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Than a couple of years ago.
Speaker 8 (27:38):
It's a badge of honor because like I went so
long with like indifference. Indifference is so much worse than
being right.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Right.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Listen, b I went seventeen, be seventeen.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
To oh, don't be eight and eight. You know what
I'm saying. Yeah, I don't work out more for me.
Speaker 8 (27:52):
But you know, if there's a certain section of people
I don't want to like me, it's Yankee fans.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
I want Yankee fans to see me and hate me. Unfortunately,
the Sorry man, but I love you.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Sorry, I love you. They love you. They love you now.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
They would hate you if the Red Sox were good,
but right now they love you.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
This is perfect.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
They love hogdel because the Red Sox sunck exactly.
Speaker 8 (28:10):
It's it's a bad deal. They're they're not backing me up.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
But listen, the second they become good, like Roman Anthony.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
Roman's controlling to start the air Man and it's he's young, Like,
you shouldn't have put the entire franchise on a twenty
one year old. I think he's gonna be great, but yes,
he's got to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
You know. Roman Anthony is swamming my pool just so
you know that.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
Okay, really that he's.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
One of my daughter's good friends. He's been in my
house several times. He's a great kid. He really listen,
take it easier, Roman, Okay, just leave him alone.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
Oh why listen?
Speaker 8 (28:36):
I mean, do you have any idea like the Hounds,
I'm fighting back on a day in, day out basis,
Like when the pictures came out, it's like, oh, he's
going to South and he's getting drinks.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
He's twenty one, dude. Of course you talking about what
should could he be doing?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Right now?
Speaker 6 (28:49):
The team still the team stinks. I get it.
Speaker 8 (28:51):
You're looking for something to be angry at. Yeah, like
it's like it's not the best look.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
But dude, give me a break, right, No, it's fine,
it looks fine.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
You can do whatever the fuck he wants. He's adult, exactly.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
For as bad as the Red Sox are. You look
at the wild card standings and they're only three and
a half games back.
Speaker 8 (29:09):
The American League sucks something for your awful league, dude.
They're brought an awful league for years now, but this
is the worst one.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
Genuine How surprised would you be if the Red Sox
figure it out and turn it around and find their
way back in a playoff.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Spot as of right now, I'd be kind of shocked.
I think they look so bad.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
I think there's an open avenue for them to do such.
I mean, if Roman Anthony just simply remembers that he's
Roman Anthony and starts playing like last year where he
was on like a six to seven war pace.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
And get off the sauce, I mean, yeh, off off
like a kid.
Speaker 8 (29:44):
But there's an avenue to do it. But like, dude,
they the vibes are so bad right now, it's so bad.
There's no veteran leadership in the clubhouse like Trevor's Trevor
story is the leader of the clubhouse.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
It's a bad deal.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yes, yes, this is everything I imagine it to be.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I want you around here more often. I don't want
Portnoy getting mad at me. I don't want big Cat
getting mad at me. How do we make this happen?
I want to hang out with you.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
I did.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
I appreciate, I appreciate you, allowed to get you.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Actually, well, it seems like you don't care about contracts
because you're doing.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Play by play of the Red Zige game on Twitch?
Is there?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Like, are there contractual situations? I need to consider here?
What's going on?
Speaker 8 (30:21):
I mean listen, Like, uh, I was told like other
Barcel members that come on this pot so I'm sure
Dave don't get.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
Back, was like, uh, have a good relationship.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
I think he's spoken exactly eight sentences to me total.
Am we sharing most of them when I went to
the Super Bowl with them? Uh, it's Sam fran I've
had nothing but great experiences with him.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Yes, he likes my content. You like he retweets meetuff.
That means he likes you.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yes, yes, listen, it's not a problem today. But when
I start asking you do it every single day, it's going.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
To become a problem.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
So I will I figure out how to navigate that.
I will put them the call the big cat immediately. Okay,
as soon as we hang up, I'm calling him.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I would. I want to share you. That's what I
want to do. All right.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
It's just like get a joint owner, shop joint owners.
