You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Christopher mad Dog Russo going to join us at three
point thirty at nan verk at four thirty. Nix with
a big win last night and the Timberwolves with a
big win last night. Oh really, these games are keeping
me up late.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
I'm gonna say the opposite. What do you mean, I
was dead asleep by the time that game ended. Really, yeah,
I had to rewatch the ending.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I mean one o four, one oh two. That's a
close game. That's a tight game. I'm surprised you fell asleep.
You've been waiting for the postseason all season.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
My eyelids were tighter.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Real quickly.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Here before we get to t Wolves and Spurs, because
I think that's the more interesting game of the two
games played last night.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
There was a third game played last night by the
hottest team in South Florida. But we'll get to that
at some point.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
That would be their softball team, I mean, and we'll
get to that in just a second. By the way,
it is a Mount Rushmore Monday. On a Tuesday, we
will have a Mount Rushmore for you today. I have
no idea what the topic is. That's because Mikey gets
to decide he is the defending champion.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
He still hasn't told us.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
I wonder what that feels like.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
You'll never know. It's a nice feeling, is it. Yeah,
do you have a topic yet? Have you picked one out?
Speaker 6 (01:35):
I have a few.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, yeah, I'll pick one, okay? Is he?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I feel like Nick fans were in a dangerous spot.
I apologize to Taylor for not sharing in his excitement
earlier today when we take with Salakata the show. Before
the show, I apologized him. I should be more excited.
But these series are long, and people get carried away
with one game. And I've seen it too many times
where a team blows a team out in game one,
(02:00):
and that second team, the Sixers, will come back a
very desperate team here in game two, and I feel
like Nick fans think this is the team the team
they've seen since Game three that lost to Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
This is the team they're gonna see the rest of
the way.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And if that were the case, they be the best
team in NBA history.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
I mean, what do they got of margin a victory?
Averaging about fifty the last couple of games. Yes, this
is interesting because I wanted to ask you both, Taylor
and Stu Goatts as Knicks fans this moment right here
is this And I'll just ask Taylor, I guess because
you've lived longer.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Stu, well, I've seen him in the finals, right right?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Is this the most optimism you've ever had for the
New York Knicks, Because even last year when they were
in the conference finals, they didn't look great.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Right, this year in.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
The second round, you're looking at how well they're playing,
and it's like, well, it feels like this second round
is gonna be, you know, an obvious cakewalk, right, And
then you look at the opponent that's coming up next,
and you're.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Not really shaken by the threat of that team.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
And so I'm just curious, Taylor, like, it's got to
be different than it was just a few weeks ago
when they were still figuring things out.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
But right now, how good does it feel?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Is the top of your list of this is as
positive as I felt about a Knicks team?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Is he?
Speaker 7 (03:16):
It is not even close. The most optimistic I've ever
been about the Knicks four years ago was the next
four years ago. The most optimistic I've ever been about
the Knicks three years ago was three years ago. And
you could just keep doing that until you get to
present day, because it feels like whenever we think we're
at the peak of what this Knicks team ceiling is,
(03:38):
they kind of blow right past it. And now it's
hard to not watch this team the past three four games,
ever since they got that wake up call against Atlanta
and look at them and be like, how isn't this
team an NBA title contender?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You can bind that the fact that the Knicks are
playing so well with the fact of who's remaining in
the East.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
The Celtics are out.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Now you have the Pistons and Calves playing in the
other series, but they're still Oklahoma City out west and
that scares me.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Yeah, although you know the goal with this team.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Is get there, right like, yes, if you get to
the finals, you are still moving forward. You're going through
the stages, whatever it takes. And if you lose to
an Oklahoma City Thunder team that is the current you know,
villain of the NBA. Okay, you're part of that story,
but at least its progress.
Speaker 7 (04:21):
But even the Pacers took this thunder team to a
Game seven last year and the Knicks had the the
Pacers like that was a pretty tight series. So I
don't really subscribe to the theory of, oh, the Knicks
just have to make it to the finals and then
you know you're gonna be a severe underdog. Even if
they are an underdog. If you make it to the finals,
you might as well just go and go ahead and
(04:41):
win the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Sure, I think, yeah, when you get there, it could
be where you know, because it's a first time for
Brunson and Cat, and Cat, you know, first time first
times in postseasons might not be the most reliable person.
But I think what's different about this sort of last
stretch of success obviously comes into playoffs, so it's most crucial.
But it's very and I read an article about this
(05:04):
in The Athletic which is very good. But if you
pay attention to the way this offense is flowing, it's
not because we joked earlier, Taylor right about oh, they
all of a sudden discovered a pick and roll between
their two best players, and that how that's effective. But
really it's just their offense in general, sort of the
read and reacting, the not needing a singular sort of
point of attack every single time to be the same.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Right.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
That's when you get guys like Mikhail Bridges sort of
flowing within the offense, making the right cuts, finding his
shots and just being wide open and shooting seven of ten.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Same thing with Og.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Who's just a beast if you either obviously leave them
open for a three or let him sort of you know, pump,
fake and drive that. Like, when this offense is flowing, well,
everybody's in their comfort zone, especially now that Karl Anthony
Towns has found where he is within the offense.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I have to follow the face of one mikey A.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
He's a good friend, and I always follow that face
because he's thinking what I'm probably thinking, how about you
beat the Sixers first.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
I just I just worry about you, Taylor. I just
worry about I can see the path, and I'm worried
for you because you're not gonna know the Joy, you're
not gonna find it's not gonna happen.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Right Listen. You never want to overreact after one game,
and the Sixers were playing with house money in that
game one. They just really have to steal one of
the first two games in New York. I'll tell you
right now, I'll be the first one to say it.
This is the Vince Carter. It's it's over this this series.
We're on to the East time.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I mean, Ricardo bought out. Ricardo marked the tape right now,
the moment this one's over.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Now.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Put me on that tape too, because.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Well, I don't know if anyone marks tape because I said,
down three to one the Sixers we're gonna win that
series against the Celtics, and no one played it.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Where's his tape?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I mean, where's my tape?
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Riccardo?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, it's all about Taylor's clips. I mean, geez, I
don't want.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
To oversimplify this, because I do think that the Sixers
can make certain adjustments that will make up for what
I'm about to say. But when you go from their
last series New York into this series and you're saying, okay, defensively,
like I don't have to worry about Dyson Daniels just
locking up Jalen Brunton one on one, or you know,
potentially just blowing up a play like Tyre smaxivj Edgecomb.
(07:16):
They're okay defensively, but they're not Dyson Daniels, and you're
almost always going to be facing this drop coverage of
Joel Embiid. I'm sorry, but Jaylen Bruns is gonna eat
that up all day long against a guy like emb
that you can maybe you know he's putting in more
effort defensively, but even that, yeah, doesn't look like great
defensive play.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I will say this to all Nick fans, those of
you who crushed Karl Anthony Towns, you do not get
to enjoy this. I mean, I don't care what time
it was, I don't care what day it was, I
don't care when you did it, how you did it,
if it was private, if it was public. You do
not get to enjoy Carl Anthony Towns having this kind
of postseason.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
What are you shaking all about?
Speaker 7 (07:50):
So so wrong?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
It's well because you're one of them.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
It's laughably wrong. Carl Anthony Towns. The relationship the Knicks
fans have with Karl Anthony town We're allowed to talk
about him, right, everybody else is not allowed to talk
about him. Yes, where if Kendrick Perkins comes out and
says Karl Anthony Towns is soft, Knicks fans have their
pitchforks out and be like, Perk, let us know where
we can find you in the street. We'll come fight you.
(08:14):
But if one of us says, hey, kar Anthony Towns
he's kind of soft, and everybody kind of looks at
each other and be like, yeah, we know.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I don't think that's how it goes.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
There's there have been times when if Perk said that,
you guys would agree with him.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Now, well, that's true, they do.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
I feel like it's okay to agree if it's all
at the same time, right, because it's like it's all right.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
I feel that way as well.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
But if they're going like if they're doing what Stu
Gott's is saying now and say you're not going to
be able to trust Cat the rest of the series,
that's when you take offense.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, he's been great. The other series is he fell
asleep for the game at halftime.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
We hang on. I think Taylor had one more thing though.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Really he hasn't gotten enough out of the New York
Dickson carl An.
Speaker 7 (08:52):
It's just Stu coming here, trying to be the police
of who's allowed to cheer for who. Stucott should have
to pass a test to get back on the Knicks,
man wag.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Really, Okay, what's the test? Give me the test.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
I'll give you a test.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Yeah, name three non starters on this next team.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Let's see.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Wow, non starter sham it's on there, I know, right,
and he's one of them.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Mitchell Robinson.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Perhaps see his second one?
Speaker 9 (09:19):
The third?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Wow he was looking up to He wasn't even looking
at his computer. Yeah, I'm telling you, yeah, doing some betting.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
If you would, if you would ask me for four,
I was going to be stuck.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
I think you had a fourth.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I don't think.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
I think you had a fourth.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I don't think I do.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Tell you right, you, Let's go to the other series.
I can't believe you fell asleep at halftime. But I
understand these are late games. I only thought from this.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Particular game, I was exhausted.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Well, and we have to break here because Christopher head
Dog Risseau is joining us. It's odd that he's joining us,
considering that he's live on.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
The air right now.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Haven't died that man, but he is.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
He is going to join us. There was a time,
is he where everyone laughed at the t Wolve.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
For trading for Rudy Gobert because the big man has
gone by the wayside.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
They look more like Webbin Yama now than they do
Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
But Rudy Gobert has been the MVP defensively of these playoffs.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
So no, he had in he has been and he's
been locking some people up. But I'm gonna save this
for later. Wemby said something yesterday that can prove to
people he's not ready for this. Oh, he's not ready
for this first run and they probably won't win it. Well,
he'll play that later.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
In the show.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
He needs to stop talking.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company
Live WHEKDA said three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
The Great Christopher med Dog Russo is with us. He
thinks this is one of the two interviews that he
owes me one of the two guests he's delivering himself.
I mean, it's unbelievable and he thinks delivering his son
Colin on the show counts as the second one.
Speaker 10 (10:53):
It does not, Doggy, absolutely, this is from the football bat.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
How is Fox radio? They finally figured out you don't
watch the game, So what's going on with that? And
they finally figured that out yet.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Well listen, they weren't on to me until radio row
super Bowl week. I mean, you had to tell the
world that I don't watch the sports. What are you doing?
Speaker 9 (11:10):
Don And you gotta go to dope graduations this week?
That's the last thing you want to do. His thoughts
around the country, going to college graduations, even for your daughters.
Speaker 10 (11:22):
Is that correct?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That is correct. I am going to Syracuse. Mike Turrico
is doing the commencement speech.
Speaker 10 (11:27):
I oh, is it really?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, So I've been Doggie, You'll love this.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I've been negotiating via text with t Rico about how
to shorten the speech.
Speaker 10 (11:40):
Make it ten minutes again. The hell out of there
is what you want to do?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yes, wouldn't you?
Speaker 6 (11:44):
I mean, come on, oh.
Speaker 9 (11:45):
God, I went to the commencement adjusts. I went at
Notre Dame for my daughter.
Speaker 10 (11:50):
Yeah, it was the ex.
Speaker 9 (11:52):
Colombian president right, Oh my god? He put America. No
pep talk when you do it? Comments been addressed for
a bunch of college kids. Give him a little pep talk,
give them a little enthusiasm, you know, go conquer the world.
I mean, geez, that's the idea of a commencement addressed
with a bunch of twenty two year olds who are
(12:13):
joined the workforce. Give him a little optimism. And the
one I went to a notre name was the exact opposite. Anyway,
did we go on Saturday so we look for that?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (12:21):
We did. I got your beat, Doggie.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
I had Willie Randolph as my commencement speaker.
Speaker 10 (12:26):
Where was that Dean?
Speaker 9 (12:27):
Where was that community college?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Wow?
Speaker 10 (12:36):
They had ran after the speech at Ford him as
a metal graduated with his daughter. Wow.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (12:42):
And was he managing the Mets at the.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Time or not he had been fired from the Mets.
Speaker 11 (12:47):
It was I think a year after Beltran struck out looking.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
In the game.
Speaker 11 (12:51):
And the way he ended the speech was, if there's
one piece of advice I can give you a swing
the bat.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
They swing the bat, good lord, Carlos, swing the bat.
Speaker 10 (13:00):
That's funny. Funny. I like that.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Well, it's funny because it's funny because Joe Torrey wasn't
available that weekend.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I mean I have that.
Speaker 10 (13:08):
Exactly.
Speaker 9 (13:09):
But Joe may have wanted the fortune too. You never know,
right with Joe. Yes, But but the bottom line is
from that standpoint is that those commencement addresses.
Speaker 10 (13:20):
I have never been asked to do one. I'm a
little disappointed. How about used to he've been asked to
do him or not?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
No, I went to Clark University, small school. You would figure,
I mean, it's me and Jeffrey Lurry are the owner
of the Eagles. I mean, those are the two most
famous people that ever graduate from that place. You'd figure
they get around there asking me, Doug, I mean, thank
you for asking.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
No, I never asked. You never asked.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
You never asked me. No. I would pay money to
watch you give a commencement speech.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
I would.
Speaker 10 (13:45):
Rollins College and Winni Park, Florida. Here I come. I
had Anthony. I had Anthony Perkins, some psycho. Oh really,
you know Janet ly Wow.
Speaker 9 (13:54):
In nineteen eighty two, he was a Rollins graduate and
he gave our commencement address at Rollins in nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 10 (14:01):
When I recall, I know it was a pretty good one.
Speaker 9 (14:04):
I don't recall the theme, but he did the commencement
address and he was the psycho the Hitchcock movie, which.
Speaker 10 (14:09):
I believe is nineteen fifty nine, right with Janet Lake,
which was a good movie.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
So the original huh, yes, the original woes the original,
you doggy, there's something that makes me feel good when
you're proud of me.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
Did you did you get around tore watching Rams Seahawks
the championship game yet?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Listen, I'm just getting to the super Bowl. I mean,

Speaker 6 (15:25):
Yeah, we are.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
We're arriving at our I guess our winter because the
summers down here are unbere. I've told you this before, Doug.
I would rather sit through a winter than sit through
a summer down here in South Florida.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
I would.
Speaker 10 (15:37):
It's not bad.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It's one hundred and ten degrees every day. I mean
it's unbelievable.
Speaker 9 (15:42):

Speaker 1 (18:11):
I will That sounds like a blast, dog, I will
tell you. If I tell my wife I'm playing golf

I mean that's the gift. The gift is get the
hell out.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Of my house. I mean, have of that.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
That would be fun. My wife would go to the
other way. Did you see Springsteen when he went down
there April twenty third? Did you have any desire to
see him there or no?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
No, I have desire to see him, and I have
seen him. I did not see him when he was
down here. Now you did not know.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
Was it a big Was it a big news item
when Bruce played at Sunrise?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
And yes?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, always a big deal when Bruce comes into town. Yes,
any town for that matter.
Speaker 10 (18:43):
Yes, anytime. Okay, very good.
Speaker 9 (18:45):
Oh yeah, so I got a big weekend. The golf
sports is what it is right now. I'm working on
vacation time this summer. Good and I got a funny
fielding serious. May not see me for about three and
a half months. I might, I might put a stegots
just disappear. And the way we go, well, you've heard yes, No.
Speaker 10 (19:04):
I mean, you know earned it is. Whatever. I'm sixty six,
I'm your age. I'm getting old.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
So I want to go out there and try to
enjoy a summertime and not necessarily have to do work
day in and day out.
Speaker 10 (19:14):
Right, I'm working on that.
Speaker 9 (19:15):
And you got the obviously the first take, which I
got to do these next couple of days, so they have.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
It a my age, Go ahead, Taylor, as a veteran
of the game, how do you juggle your anniversary with
seventy six ers Nicks tipping off at seven pm tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
NW? He loves, he does.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
He likes that.
Speaker 9 (19:35):
I will miss a good part of that game. Dinner
at six point thirty. I'll be home by eight p fifteen.
You know, if the Sixers are competitive, I'll be all
over the last fifteen to eighteen minutes of the of
game time.
Speaker 10 (19:50):
But you know, what are you going to do?
Speaker 9 (19:52):
You can't revolve your life around sports, right, you can't
at this point. You know if you have to go
to weddings, you the cross games, yep, you know I
have anniversaries this, that and the other golf tournaments. Whatever
I want to do, you can't revolve. You're not twenty
five anymore. Where you have to you don't have to
do it nowadays.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yep.
Speaker 10 (20:13):
If it fits in my window, fits in my window.
Give you an example.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
Last night San Antonio, Minnesota. It's halftime in five to eleven. Well,
I think it was forty five, forty five something like that.
I did not stay up for the second half.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
All right, Wow, if you're going to start the game.
Speaker 9 (20:28):
If you're going to start the game at nine forty
two on the East Coast, whether you.
Speaker 10 (20:34):
Want me or not, I'm not on a week night.
I'm not going to be there at one am.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
It's not going to be there, fair, Doggie. Let's let's
talk about John Sterling for a for a second. Here
he passed away, if you wouldn't mind, Doggy, because obviously
you and Mike did your show wfan at the height
of what I would say was John Sterling him at
the height of his powers. What does he mean to
that city, to that market, to that fan base.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
Well, he was the voice of the Keys when they
were great for about fifteen twenty years, even more than that,
beginning in say ninety four ninety five, uh, and taking
it all the way to you know, twenty and twenty. Uh,
you know at least, you know, at least they say
through twenty ten, he had, you know, historic calls, whether
it's Brochus, Tino Martinez, Jeter with the home run against Arizona,
(21:22):
boons homer against the Red Sox, four Worlds Championships, two
perfect games. Uh, that is an iconic team. Tory who
is very close to Tory the manager. Of course, they
who won the four titles. Uh, you know, very very
significant feature. I mean his calls not everybody's cup of tea.
Yankees win, Yankees win, and on a.
Speaker 10 (21:45):
Bomb by a Rod and all that. Not everybody loves
that stuff.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
But I mean when you are the voice of the
Yankees for thirty five thirty six years, which includes five titles,
four for Tory, one for Girardi, five championships, and other
World Series appearances. In years where they had drama, like
when they Boone hit the homer, they didn't win it
that year the Mornins beat him, right, you know three.
Speaker 10 (22:09):
But when you day's a perfect example.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
You know the year that that Jeter made the play
in Oakland won nothing. The Yankees didn't win it that
year Arizona did but I mean, when you have that
much and he never missed a game, and he's a
quirky guy.
Speaker 10 (22:25):
You know, John is a quirky guy. Was a quirky guy.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
Who had fun doing the ball games, didn't care what
people said about him on social media. Had a great
career before he became the Yankee burdcast. This is a
guy who did and we all know the Hawks talk shows,
the Nets, the Islanders, the Braves, you know, tbs. I mean,
he had a heck of a career and he didn't
(22:49):
end into two years ago for playing out loud. He
was in the you know, he retired and then they
brought him back for the postseason two years ago because
of the fact that they retired at the beginning of
the year. And then he came back when the Yankees
made that postseason run. But was behind the microphone when
Freeman hit the Grand Slam for the Dodgers, which beat
the Yankees. So I mean, even this is only a
(23:09):
couple of years ago, and he called that home run.
Speaker 10 (23:11):
Properly, very very significant.
Speaker 9 (23:14):
Again, Met fan doesn't love him, you know, the Met
fan's not gonna oop for anybody with the Yankees, but
the Yankees is such a big franchise, you know, and
he had so many iconic calls and big spots. He's
a significant part of New York sports culture for you know,
he did five thousand.
Speaker 10 (23:31):
Games in a row for find Out in the same
game and he and he did every inning.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 9 (23:36):
When Kay lefts to go do the Yes Network, they
bought Susan in.
Speaker 10 (23:40):
He did every inning. Susan didn't do any of the innings.
Speaker 9 (23:43):
Kay did two innings, Kate did the I think he
did the third, fourth, and seventh.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
I think Kay may have done three innings, but I
mean Susan the newing innings.
Speaker 9 (23:53):
So in the last twenty something years of his Yankee
broadcasting career he did every.
Speaker 10 (23:57):
Inning of every game.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Amazing.
Speaker 10 (24:00):
That's amazing, and five thousand of them in a row
for find Out.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Well, unbelievable. Dog.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
My personal favorite is the Hideki Matsui. It's a thriller
by Godzilla call Mike. Actually, Mike Francesa actually gave you
credit for the Sterling calls taking off the way it
did because Sterling loved Your Guys show. He would listen
to Mike and the Mad Dog on the way into
the ballpark. He would hear you playing his clips over
and over. What do you remember most about how excited
(24:24):
Sterling would get when you would play his calls on
the show.
Speaker 10 (24:28):
No, everybody's got a big ego and everybody enjoyed it.
Speaker 9 (24:30):
He everybody's going to enjoy his calls on the air
on the Afternoon Drive. I think it may have been
Bob Gelp who made us play those calls. He was
our radio producer at the time for nine years. It
may have been more his idea than anybody else's. So
maybe Mike's giving me the credit that Bob deserves the credit.
But regardless of that, we had Starting.
Speaker 10 (24:49):
On a lot.
Speaker 9 (24:50):
Mike and I did a lot of games with the
Yankees in postseason when we did the games in the
Yankee radio booth.
Speaker 10 (24:56):
Before starting walked in there and called the games. So
we had a good relationship with Sterning.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
Plus Mike loved the Yankees and he got to kick
out of Sterning's calls.
Speaker 10 (25:05):
I remember one thing about Starting two.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
You can make fun of his calls, right, you know,
says a long drive the left and the shortstop makes
the catch, you know, a pop up to shortstop, and
he thought it was a home run.
Speaker 10 (25:14):
I mean, he had he had a lot of those.
Speaker 9 (25:17):
Proops NotI pops as well, which I think in a
lot of ways adds to his charm.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
So I think that's a significant aspect to him.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
And he wasn't going to be one who got mad
at you because he didn't pay attention to it. John
was very oblivious to what talk shows ours is different.
Speaker 10 (25:32):
He drove to work every day.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
He hurt me in my gun afternoon, but he wasn't
looking at social media. He did have a computer, he
wasn't looking seeing what people were knocking him on. He
didn't care, right, And I'm not saying he wasn't sensitive.
I don't think he was aware of it so much.
So you know, to him, a twenty five year old
podcaster basically telling John that he's a lousy, fundamental player
(25:54):
by play guy, I don't think that meant anything to him, right,
So I kind of and I think the mistakes that
you can laugh at him with, I think added to
his charm as a Yankee broadcaster. And I tell you
the Yankees those first couple of years really missed him.
That is why the Yankees brought him back two years
ago to do the postseason, because I don't think they
felt they had that juice, the gravitas in the radio booth.
(26:17):
So they brought John back to do the to do
the the those whatever.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
It might be.
Speaker 10 (26:22):
Then they brought Sims in, Dave Simms to replace him.
In the last couple of years.
Speaker 9 (26:26):
The Yankees, Sterling was very, very important to the Yankees,
the brand and everything else. The Yankees put out a
big statement yesterday they put flowers behind home plate. All
the Yankees, including Judge, had lots to say in the pregame.
You know, the Commissioner's office put out a statement. I mean,
you know, when you're the Yankee broadcaster for that many years,
the franchise, the you know, the home franchise in the
(26:49):
sport until recently with the Dodgers, they were and they
won five titles. And then he passes away, and it's
not that long ago and he was doing the games.
It's gonna carry a lot of weight. And I think
that's why you've seen so much Sterling reaction in the
last twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Mad Dog on Leash three to six pm Eastern Mad
Dog Radio Sirias XAM. Christopher mad Dog Russo is with
us quick game for you here Dog, Okay, it's called
one There's a there's a restaurant.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
We played this earlier with Salvakata.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
There's a restaurant down here in Boca called six tables.
The new restaurant that we've created for the purposes of
this game is called one table. Okay, so it's got
one table in the restaurant at Jalen Brunson and Aaron
Judge walk in at the exact same time.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Who is getting that table?
Speaker 10 (27:34):
Judge?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Really today?
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Wow? Wow shocking?
Speaker 10 (27:39):
I agree, yes, Oh, Judge is getting it.
Speaker 9 (27:41):
I mean, Judge, Judge is getting a Baseball is much
bigger than basketball in New York City. The Yankees are
bigger than the Knicks in New York City. Judge set records.
Judge is probably the best player in the sport. Minus
maybe old Tani Brunson is not the best in the NBA.
(28:01):
Brunson has never played in an NBA final. Judges played
in the World Series. Judge set the home run record
with the sixty two Judges getting the table.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Wow, okay, let's go in their primes, Koozi halcheck who
gets the table.
Speaker 10 (28:20):
That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I know that's a tough one for you.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
Dog.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I mean two your favorites.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I mean, no one loves Coozie more than dog and
no one loves h'mgo more than Dog.
Speaker 10 (28:29):
I mean, I guess it depends on what time, what
year it was.
Speaker 9 (28:32):
Nineteen sixty, how about nineteen seventy, He'd give it to
Koozy because he wasn't that far removed from his career. Nowadays,
you might give it to Havelicheck. You know, have Acheck
is one of the all time great Celtics. He's very underrated.
I mean, you can make an argument without a doubt.
Have Acheck's better than Jason Tatum, right, I mean, have
a Check is better than Jayleen j He is much
(28:54):
better than Jaalen Brownies.
Speaker 10 (28:55):
Yeah, God, have a Check is great. Have a Check?
Speaker 4 (28:59):
You know what?
Speaker 9 (28:59):
You know he would have made the Browns in nineteen
sixty four, And when he left the Browns to go
play for the Celtics, Paul Brown caught outback and says,
you're getting my best wide receiver.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
Right, I mean, think about that for a second.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Crazy.
Speaker 10 (29:12):
I mean he was I you know, it wasn't Paul Brown's.
He wasn't. He was blatant kayed.
Speaker 9 (29:17):
But whoever it might be, he was a tremendous basketball
player and have a check. Outside of Russell and Bird
is probably the third greatest Celtic of all time.
Speaker 10 (29:27):
So although I love Couzi, it probably would be Halflechack.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
All right, two more, we get you out here, Shallome,
Ben Stiller, who gets the table?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I mean, Stiller should be better met Galad yesterday. I
don't want to hear from him. He's mister nick fan.
You never heard of David Busher. He's at the met
gala last night. You gotta be kidding me. At least
Chalome was at the.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Game for Kana, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (29:48):
I mean, Challamey gets the table.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
All right, challame gets the table. Speaking of shallow may,
Taylor has a request for you. Go ahead, Taylor quickly here.
Speaker 7 (29:54):
Yeah, we'd like Charlamee on the show as our guest request.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yes we will.
Speaker 9 (29:58):
Yeah, that's a good one. I can't get him on
our show. I can't get him on first take. Jeez,
But I think if you never I still owe you.
Guess got that stupid football. Of course, I gotta get
you somebody. I gotta get you.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I had a season for the Ages. Last one, okay,
last one, I get you out of here, Doggie, this
is a tough one, okay. At the height of Mike
and the Mad Dog, the Franceses walk in, the Russo's
walk in, who gets the table?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
How about that?
Speaker 9 (30:24):
Well, Mike had, Mike had the powered chair right at
w f A N Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Heard you listen and listen.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I know that, and I love Mike, But the first
voice I heard every single day was yours.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
How about that?
Speaker 9 (30:35):
Because of the end, Because of the end, I think
Mike would get the power chair.
Speaker 10 (30:40):
I think Mike would get the table.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
All right, Well, Mike thinks for.
Speaker 9 (30:45):
Mike, it was Mike and the man door. Yes, and
Mike would be annoyed if he didn't get the table.
I can go to McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Mike would allow you to sit at his table. Maybe,
depending on what year it.
Speaker 10 (30:58):
Was, That's true. It depends on the year.
Speaker 9 (31:02):
Some years absolutely, other years I'd be sitting at the
table and not talking to each other.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Your spot yesterday was fantastic with him on your show.
It brought me back to a great time in my life.
More of that, dog, more you and Mike. That was fantastic.

That thing that sounds like a pasta.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
I don't even know it's called the angel hair.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
It's angel something taking an old fashioned Yeah, really an
old fashion.

You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Christopher mad Dog Russo going to join us at three
point thirty at nan verk at four thirty. Nix with
a big win last night and the Timberwolves with a
big win last night. Oh really, these games are keeping
me up late.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
I'm gonna say the opposite. What do you mean, I
was dead asleep by the time that game ended. Really, yeah,
I had to rewatch the ending.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I mean one o four, one oh two. That's a
close game. That's a tight game. I'm surprised you fell asleep.
You've been waiting for the postseason all season.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
My eyelids were tighter.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Real quickly.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Here before we get to t Wolves and Spurs, because
I think that's the more interesting game of the two
games played last night.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
There was a third game played last night by the
hottest team in South Florida. But we'll get to that
at some point.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
That would be their softball team, I mean, and we'll
get to that in just a second. By the way,
it is a Mount Rushmore Monday. On a Tuesday, we
will have a Mount Rushmore for you today. I have
no idea what the topic is. That's because Mikey gets
to decide he is the defending champion.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
He still hasn't told us.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
I wonder what that feels like.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
You'll never know. It's a nice feeling, is it. Yeah,
do you have a topic yet? Have you picked one out?
Speaker 6 (01:35):
I have a few.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, yeah, I'll pick one, okay? Is he?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I feel like Nick fans were in a dangerous spot.
I apologize to Taylor for not sharing in his excitement
earlier today when we take with Salakata the show. Before
the show, I apologized him. I should be more excited.
But these series are long, and people get carried away
with one game. And I've seen it too many times
where a team blows a team out in game one,
(02:00):
and that second team, the Sixers, will come back a
very desperate team here in game two, and I feel
like Nick fans think this is the team the team
they've seen since Game three that lost to Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
This is the team they're gonna see the rest of
the way.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And if that were the case, they be the best
team in NBA history.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
I mean, what do they got of margin a victory?
Averaging about fifty the last couple of games. Yes, this
is interesting because I wanted to ask you both, Taylor
and Stu Goatts as Knicks fans this moment right here
is this And I'll just ask Taylor, I guess because
you've lived longer.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Stu, well, I've seen him in the finals, right right?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Is this the most optimism you've ever had for the
New York Knicks, Because even last year when they were
in the conference finals, they didn't look great.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Right, this year in.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
The second round, you're looking at how well they're playing,
and it's like, well, it feels like this second round
is gonna be, you know, an obvious cakewalk, right, And
then you look at the opponent that's coming up next,
and you're.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Not really shaken by the threat of that team.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
And so I'm just curious, Taylor, like, it's got to
be different than it was just a few weeks ago
when they were still figuring things out.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
But right now, how good does it feel?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Is the top of your list of this is as
positive as I felt about a Knicks team?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Is he?
Speaker 7 (03:16):
It is not even close. The most optimistic I've ever
been about the Knicks four years ago was the next
four years ago. The most optimistic I've ever been about
the Knicks three years ago was three years ago. And
you could just keep doing that until you get to
present day, because it feels like whenever we think we're
at the peak of what this Knicks team ceiling is,
(03:38):
they kind of blow right past it. And now it's
hard to not watch this team the past three four games,
ever since they got that wake up call against Atlanta
and look at them and be like, how isn't this
team an NBA title contender?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You can bind that the fact that the Knicks are
playing so well with the fact of who's remaining in
the East.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
The Celtics are out.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Now you have the Pistons and Calves playing in the
other series, but they're still Oklahoma City out west and
that scares me.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Yeah, although you know the goal with this team.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Is get there, right like, yes, if you get to
the finals, you are still moving forward. You're going through
the stages, whatever it takes. And if you lose to
an Oklahoma City Thunder team that is the current you know,
villain of the NBA. Okay, you're part of that story,
but at least its progress.
Speaker 7 (04:21):
But even the Pacers took this thunder team to a
Game seven last year and the Knicks had the the
Pacers like that was a pretty tight series. So I
don't really subscribe to the theory of, oh, the Knicks
just have to make it to the finals and then
you know you're gonna be a severe underdog. Even if
they are an underdog. If you make it to the finals,
you might as well just go and go ahead and
(04:41):
win the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Sure, I think, yeah, when you get there, it could
be where you know, because it's a first time for
Brunson and Cat, and Cat, you know, first time first
times in postseasons might not be the most reliable person.
But I think what's different about this sort of last
stretch of success obviously comes into playoffs, so it's most crucial.
But it's very and I read an article about this
(05:04):
in The Athletic which is very good. But if you
pay attention to the way this offense is flowing, it's
not because we joked earlier, Taylor right about oh, they
all of a sudden discovered a pick and roll between
their two best players, and that how that's effective. But
really it's just their offense in general, sort of the
read and reacting, the not needing a singular sort of
point of attack every single time to be the same.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Right.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
That's when you get guys like Mikhail Bridges sort of
flowing within the offense, making the right cuts, finding his
shots and just being wide open and shooting seven of ten.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Same thing with Og.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Who's just a beast if you either obviously leave them
open for a three or let him sort of you know, pump,
fake and drive that. Like, when this offense is flowing, well,
everybody's in their comfort zone, especially now that Karl Anthony
Towns has found where he is within the offense.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I have to follow the face of one mikey A.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
He's a good friend, and I always follow that face
because he's thinking what I'm probably thinking, how about you
beat the Sixers first.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
I just I just worry about you, Taylor. I just
worry about I can see the path, and I'm worried
for you because you're not gonna know the Joy, you're
not gonna find it's not gonna happen.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Right Listen. You never want to overreact after one game,
and the Sixers were playing with house money in that
game one. They just really have to steal one of
the first two games in New York. I'll tell you
right now, I'll be the first one to say it.
This is the Vince Carter. It's it's over this this series.
We're on to the East time.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I mean, Ricardo bought out. Ricardo marked the tape right now,
the moment this one's over.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Now.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Put me on that tape too, because.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Well, I don't know if anyone marks tape because I said,
down three to one the Sixers we're gonna win that
series against the Celtics, and no one played it.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Where's his tape?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I mean, where's my tape?
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Riccardo?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, it's all about Taylor's clips. I mean, geez, I
don't want.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
To oversimplify this, because I do think that the Sixers
can make certain adjustments that will make up for what
I'm about to say. But when you go from their
last series New York into this series and you're saying, okay, defensively,
like I don't have to worry about Dyson Daniels just
locking up Jalen Brunton one on one, or you know,
potentially just blowing up a play like Tyre smaxivj Edgecomb.
(07:16):
They're okay defensively, but they're not Dyson Daniels, and you're
almost always going to be facing this drop coverage of
Joel Embiid. I'm sorry, but Jaylen Bruns is gonna eat
that up all day long against a guy like emb
that you can maybe you know he's putting in more
effort defensively, but even that, yeah, doesn't look like great
defensive play.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I will say this to all Nick fans, those of
you who crushed Karl Anthony Towns, you do not get
to enjoy this. I mean, I don't care what time
it was, I don't care what day it was, I
don't care when you did it, how you did it,
if it was private, if it was public. You do
not get to enjoy Carl Anthony Towns having this kind
of postseason.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
What are you shaking all about?
Speaker 7 (07:50):
So so wrong?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
It's well because you're one of them.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
It's laughably wrong. Carl Anthony Towns. The relationship the Knicks
fans have with Karl Anthony town We're allowed to talk
about him, right, everybody else is not allowed to talk
about him. Yes, where if Kendrick Perkins comes out and
says Karl Anthony Towns is soft, Knicks fans have their
pitchforks out and be like, Perk, let us know where
we can find you in the street. We'll come fight you.
(08:14):
But if one of us says, hey, kar Anthony Towns
he's kind of soft, and everybody kind of looks at
each other and be like, yeah, we know.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I don't think that's how it goes.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
There's there have been times when if Perk said that,
you guys would agree with him.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Now, well, that's true, they do.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
I feel like it's okay to agree if it's all
at the same time, right, because it's like it's all right.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
I feel that way as well.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
But if they're going like if they're doing what Stu
Gott's is saying now and say you're not going to
be able to trust Cat the rest of the series,
that's when you take offense.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, he's been great. The other series is he fell
asleep for the game at halftime.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
We hang on. I think Taylor had one more thing though.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Really he hasn't gotten enough out of the New York
Dickson carl An.
Speaker 7 (08:52):
It's just Stu coming here, trying to be the police
of who's allowed to cheer for who. Stucott should have
to pass a test to get back on the Knicks,
man wag.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Really, Okay, what's the test? Give me the test.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
I'll give you a test.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Yeah, name three non starters on this next team.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Let's see.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Wow, non starter sham it's on there, I know, right,
and he's one of them.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Mitchell Robinson.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Perhaps see his second one?
Speaker 9 (09:19):
The third?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Wow he was looking up to He wasn't even looking
at his computer. Yeah, I'm telling you, yeah, doing some betting.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
If you would, if you would ask me for four,
I was going to be stuck.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
I think you had a fourth.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I don't think.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
I think you had a fourth.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I don't think I do.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Tell you right, you, Let's go to the other series.
I can't believe you fell asleep at halftime. But I
understand these are late games. I only thought from this.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Particular game, I was exhausted.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Well, and we have to break here because Christopher head
Dog Risseau is joining us. It's odd that he's joining us,
considering that he's live on.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
The air right now.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Haven't died that man, but he is.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
He is going to join us. There was a time,
is he where everyone laughed at the t Wolve.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
For trading for Rudy Gobert because the big man has
gone by the wayside.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
They look more like Webbin Yama now than they do
Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
But Rudy Gobert has been the MVP defensively of these playoffs.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
So no, he had in he has been and he's
been locking some people up. But I'm gonna save this
for later. Wemby said something yesterday that can prove to
people he's not ready for this. Oh, he's not ready
for this first run and they probably won't win it. Well,
he'll play that later.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
In the show.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
He needs to stop talking.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company
Live WHEKDA said three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
The Great Christopher med Dog Russo is with us. He
thinks this is one of the two interviews that he
owes me one of the two guests he's delivering himself.
I mean, it's unbelievable and he thinks delivering his son
Colin on the show counts as the second one.
Speaker 10 (10:53):
It does not, Doggy, absolutely, this is from the football bat.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
How is Fox radio? They finally figured out you don't
watch the game, So what's going on with that? And
they finally figured that out yet.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Well listen, they weren't on to me until radio row
super Bowl week. I mean, you had to tell the
world that I don't watch the sports. What are you doing?
Speaker 9 (11:10):
Don And you gotta go to dope graduations this week?
That's the last thing you want to do. His thoughts
around the country, going to college graduations, even for your daughters.
Speaker 10 (11:22):
Is that correct?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That is correct. I am going to Syracuse. Mike Turrico
is doing the commencement speech.
Speaker 10 (11:27):
I oh, is it really?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, So I've been Doggie, You'll love this.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I've been negotiating via text with t Rico about how
to shorten the speech.
Speaker 10 (11:40):
Make it ten minutes again. The hell out of there
is what you want to do?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yes, wouldn't you?
Speaker 6 (11:44):
I mean, come on, oh.
Speaker 9 (11:45):
God, I went to the commencement adjusts. I went at
Notre Dame for my daughter.
Speaker 10 (11:50):
Yeah, it was the ex.
Speaker 9 (11:52):
Colombian president right, Oh my god? He put America. No
pep talk when you do it? Comments been addressed for
a bunch of college kids. Give him a little pep talk,
give them a little enthusiasm, you know, go conquer the world.
I mean, geez, that's the idea of a commencement addressed
with a bunch of twenty two year olds who are
(12:13):
joined the workforce. Give him a little optimism. And the
one I went to a notre name was the exact opposite. Anyway,
did we go on Saturday so we look for that?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (12:21):
We did. I got your beat, Doggie.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
I had Willie Randolph as my commencement speaker.
Speaker 10 (12:26):
Where was that Dean?
Speaker 9 (12:27):
Where was that community college?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Wow?
Speaker 10 (12:36):
They had ran after the speech at Ford him as
a metal graduated with his daughter. Wow.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (12:42):
And was he managing the Mets at the.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Time or not he had been fired from the Mets.
Speaker 11 (12:47):
It was I think a year after Beltran struck out looking.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
In the game.
Speaker 11 (12:51):
And the way he ended the speech was, if there's
one piece of advice I can give you a swing
the bat.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
They swing the bat, good lord, Carlos, swing the bat.
Speaker 10 (13:00):
That's funny. Funny. I like that.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Well, it's funny because it's funny because Joe Torrey wasn't
available that weekend.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I mean I have that.
Speaker 10 (13:08):
Exactly.
Speaker 9 (13:09):
But Joe may have wanted the fortune too. You never know,
right with Joe. Yes, But but the bottom line is
from that standpoint is that those commencement addresses.
Speaker 10 (13:20):
I have never been asked to do one. I'm a
little disappointed. How about used to he've been asked to
do him or not?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
No, I went to Clark University, small school. You would figure,
I mean, it's me and Jeffrey Lurry are the owner
of the Eagles. I mean, those are the two most
famous people that ever graduate from that place. You'd figure
they get around there asking me, Doug, I mean, thank
you for asking.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
No, I never asked. You never asked.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
You never asked me. No. I would pay money to
watch you give a commencement speech.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
I would.
Speaker 10 (13:45):
Rollins College and Winni Park, Florida. Here I come. I
had Anthony. I had Anthony Perkins, some psycho. Oh really,
you know Janet ly Wow.
Speaker 9 (13:54):
In nineteen eighty two, he was a Rollins graduate and
he gave our commencement address at Rollins in nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 10 (14:01):
When I recall, I know it was a pretty good one.
Speaker 9 (14:04):
I don't recall the theme, but he did the commencement
address and he was the psycho the Hitchcock movie, which.
Speaker 10 (14:09):
I believe is nineteen fifty nine, right with Janet Lake,
which was a good movie.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
So the original huh, yes, the original woes the original,
you doggy, there's something that makes me feel good when
you're proud of me.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
Did you did you get around tore watching Rams Seahawks
the championship game yet?
Speaker 1 (14:29):

hot down there. All rain.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah, very hot. Ninety degrees today, ninety four last Saturday.
It's it's and.
Speaker 10 (15:22):
Rain, right, a lot of rain, he said. This weekend.
The weather was terrible.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Yeah, we are.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
We're arriving at our I guess our winter because the
summers down here are unbere. I've told you this before, Doug.
I would rather sit through a winter than sit through
a summer down here in South Florida.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
I would.
Speaker 10 (15:37):
It's not bad.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It's one hundred and ten degrees every day. I mean
it's unbelievable.
Speaker 9 (15:42):
Yeah, you never get you never get a week, You
never get three or four days of a blow from.
Speaker 10 (15:46):
The hot weather.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
No, no, not until, not until next football season.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
And by that I will have watched the Super Bowl
and figured out who won last year.
Speaker 9 (15:52):
I mean, yes, that's exactly the weather has The weather
here hasn't been that great either. It's nice today, but
the weather and east stinks. We all know that, whether
in the Northeast thinks. So my golf game has been
up and down. So there you go.

good point.

That would be fun. My wife would go to the
other way. Did you see Springsteen when he went down
there April twenty third? Did you have any desire to
see him there or no?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
No, I have desire to see him, and I have
seen him. I did not see him when he was
down here. Now you did not know.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
Was it a big Was it a big news item
when Bruce played at Sunrise?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
And yes?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, always a big deal when Bruce comes into town. Yes,
any town for that matter.
Speaker 10 (18:43):
Yes, anytime. Okay, very good.
Speaker 9 (18:45):
Oh yeah, so I got a big weekend. The golf
sports is what it is right now. I'm working on
vacation time this summer. Good and I got a funny
fielding serious. May not see me for about three and
a half months. I might, I might put a stegots
just disappear. And the way we go, well, you've heard yes, No.
Speaker 10 (19:04):
I mean, you know earned it is. Whatever. I'm sixty six,
I'm your age. I'm getting old.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
So I want to go out there and try to
enjoy a summertime and not necessarily have to do work
day in and day out.
Speaker 10 (19:14):
Right, I'm working on that.
Speaker 9 (19:15):
And you got the obviously the first take, which I
got to do these next couple of days, so they have.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
It a my age, Go ahead, Taylor, as a veteran
of the game, how do you juggle your anniversary with
seventy six ers Nicks tipping off at seven pm tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
NW? He loves, he does.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
He likes that.
Speaker 9 (19:35):
I will miss a good part of that game. Dinner
at six point thirty. I'll be home by eight p fifteen.
You know, if the Sixers are competitive, I'll be all
over the last fifteen to eighteen minutes of the of
game time.
Speaker 10 (19:50):
But you know, what are you going to do?
Speaker 9 (19:52):
You can't revolve your life around sports, right, you can't
at this point. You know if you have to go
to weddings, you the cross games, yep, you know I
have anniversaries this, that and the other golf tournaments. Whatever
I want to do, you can't revolve. You're not twenty
five anymore. Where you have to you don't have to
do it nowadays.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yep.
Speaker 10 (20:13):
If it fits in my window, fits in my window.
Give you an example.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
Last night San Antonio, Minnesota. It's halftime in five to eleven. Well,
I think it was forty five, forty five something like that.
I did not stay up for the second half.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
All right, Wow, if you're going to start the game.
Speaker 9 (20:28):
If you're going to start the game at nine forty
two on the East Coast, whether you.
Speaker 10 (20:34):
Want me or not, I'm not on a week night.
I'm not going to be there at one am.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
It's not going to be there, fair, Doggie. Let's let's
talk about John Sterling for a for a second. Here
he passed away, if you wouldn't mind, Doggy, because obviously
you and Mike did your show wfan at the height
of what I would say was John Sterling him at
the height of his powers. What does he mean to
that city, to that market, to that fan base.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
Well, he was the voice of the Keys when they
were great for about fifteen twenty years, even more than that,
beginning in say ninety four ninety five, uh, and taking
it all the way to you know, twenty and twenty. Uh,
you know at least, you know, at least they say
through twenty ten, he had, you know, historic calls, whether
it's Brochus, Tino Martinez, Jeter with the home run against Arizona,
(21:22):
boons homer against the Red Sox, four Worlds Championships, two
perfect games. Uh, that is an iconic team. Tory who
is very close to Tory the manager. Of course, they
who won the four titles. Uh, you know, very very
significant feature. I mean his calls not everybody's cup of tea.
Yankees win, Yankees win, and on a.
Speaker 10 (21:45):
Bomb by a Rod and all that. Not everybody loves
that stuff.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
But I mean when you are the voice of the
Yankees for thirty five thirty six years, which includes five titles,
four for Tory, one for Girardi, five championships, and other
World Series appearances. In years where they had drama, like
when they Boone hit the homer, they didn't win it
that year the Mornins beat him, right, you know three.
Speaker 10 (22:09):
But when you day's a perfect example.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
You know the year that that Jeter made the play
in Oakland won nothing. The Yankees didn't win it that
year Arizona did but I mean, when you have that
much and he never missed a game, and he's a
quirky guy.
Speaker 10 (22:25):
You know, John is a quirky guy. Was a quirky guy.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
Who had fun doing the ball games, didn't care what
people said about him on social media. Had a great
career before he became the Yankee burdcast. This is a
guy who did and we all know the Hawks talk shows,
the Nets, the Islanders, the Braves, you know, tbs. I mean,
he had a heck of a career and he didn't
(22:49):
end into two years ago for playing out loud. He
was in the you know, he retired and then they
brought him back for the postseason two years ago because
of the fact that they retired at the beginning of
the year. And then he came back when the Yankees
made that postseason run. But was behind the microphone when
Freeman hit the Grand Slam for the Dodgers, which beat
the Yankees. So I mean, even this is only a
(23:09):
couple of years ago, and he called that home run.
Speaker 10 (23:11):
Properly, very very significant.
Speaker 9 (23:14):
Again, Met fan doesn't love him, you know, the Met
fan's not gonna oop for anybody with the Yankees, but
the Yankees is such a big franchise, you know, and
he had so many iconic calls and big spots. He's
a significant part of New York sports culture for you know,
he did five thousand.
Speaker 10 (23:31):
Games in a row for find Out in the same
game and he and he did every inning.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 9 (23:36):
When Kay lefts to go do the Yes Network, they
bought Susan in.
Speaker 10 (23:40):
He did every inning. Susan didn't do any of the innings.
Speaker 9 (23:43):
Kay did two innings, Kate did the I think he
did the third, fourth, and seventh.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
I think Kay may have done three innings, but I
mean Susan the newing innings.
Speaker 9 (23:53):
So in the last twenty something years of his Yankee
broadcasting career he did every.
Speaker 10 (23:57):
Inning of every game.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Amazing.
Speaker 10 (24:00):
That's amazing, and five thousand of them in a row
for find Out.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Well, unbelievable. Dog.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
My personal favorite is the Hideki Matsui. It's a thriller
by Godzilla call Mike. Actually, Mike Francesa actually gave you
credit for the Sterling calls taking off the way it
did because Sterling loved Your Guys show. He would listen
to Mike and the Mad Dog on the way into
the ballpark. He would hear you playing his clips over
and over. What do you remember most about how excited
(24:24):
Sterling would get when you would play his calls on
the show.
Speaker 10 (24:28):
No, everybody's got a big ego and everybody enjoyed it.
Speaker 9 (24:30):
He everybody's going to enjoy his calls on the air
on the Afternoon Drive. I think it may have been
Bob Gelp who made us play those calls. He was
our radio producer at the time for nine years. It
may have been more his idea than anybody else's. So
maybe Mike's giving me the credit that Bob deserves the credit.
But regardless of that, we had Starting.
Speaker 10 (24:49):
On a lot.
Speaker 9 (24:50):
Mike and I did a lot of games with the
Yankees in postseason when we did the games in the
Yankee radio booth.
Speaker 10 (24:56):
Before starting walked in there and called the games. So
we had a good relationship with Sterning.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
Plus Mike loved the Yankees and he got to kick
out of Sterning's calls.
Speaker 10 (25:05):
I remember one thing about Starting two.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
You can make fun of his calls, right, you know,
says a long drive the left and the shortstop makes
the catch, you know, a pop up to shortstop, and
he thought it was a home run.
Speaker 10 (25:14):
I mean, he had he had a lot of those.
Speaker 9 (25:17):
Proops NotI pops as well, which I think in a
lot of ways adds to his charm.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
So I think that's a significant aspect to him.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
And he wasn't going to be one who got mad
at you because he didn't pay attention to it. John
was very oblivious to what talk shows ours is different.
Speaker 10 (25:32):
He drove to work every day.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
He hurt me in my gun afternoon, but he wasn't
looking at social media. He did have a computer, he
wasn't looking seeing what people were knocking him on. He
didn't care, right, And I'm not saying he wasn't sensitive.
I don't think he was aware of it so much.
So you know, to him, a twenty five year old
podcaster basically telling John that he's a lousy, fundamental player
(25:54):
by play guy, I don't think that meant anything to him, right,
So I kind of and I think the mistakes that
you can laugh at him with, I think added to
his charm as a Yankee broadcaster. And I tell you
the Yankees those first couple of years really missed him.
That is why the Yankees brought him back two years
ago to do the postseason, because I don't think they
felt they had that juice, the gravitas in the radio booth.
(26:17):
So they brought John back to do the to do
the the those whatever.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
It might be.
Speaker 10 (26:22):
Then they brought Sims in, Dave Simms to replace him.
In the last couple of years.
Speaker 9 (26:26):
The Yankees, Sterling was very, very important to the Yankees,
the brand and everything else. The Yankees put out a
big statement yesterday they put flowers behind home plate. All
the Yankees, including Judge, had lots to say in the pregame.
You know, the Commissioner's office put out a statement. I mean,
you know, when you're the Yankee broadcaster for that many years,
the franchise, the you know, the home franchise in the
(26:49):
sport until recently with the Dodgers, they were and they
won five titles. And then he passes away, and it's
not that long ago and he was doing the games.
It's gonna carry a lot of weight. And I think
that's why you've seen so much Sterling reaction in the
last twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Mad Dog on Leash three to six pm Eastern Mad
Dog Radio Sirias XAM. Christopher mad Dog Russo is with
us quick game for you here Dog, Okay, it's called
one There's a there's a restaurant.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
We played this earlier with Salvakata.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
There's a restaurant down here in Boca called six tables.
The new restaurant that we've created for the purposes of
this game is called one table. Okay, so it's got
one table in the restaurant at Jalen Brunson and Aaron
Judge walk in at the exact same time.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Who is getting that table?
Speaker 10 (27:34):
Judge?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Really today?
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Wow? Wow shocking?
Speaker 10 (27:39):
I agree, yes, Oh, Judge is getting it.
Speaker 9 (27:41):
I mean, Judge, Judge is getting a Baseball is much
bigger than basketball in New York City. The Yankees are
bigger than the Knicks in New York City. Judge set records.
Judge is probably the best player in the sport. Minus
maybe old Tani Brunson is not the best in the NBA.
(28:01):
Brunson has never played in an NBA final. Judges played
in the World Series. Judge set the home run record
with the sixty two Judges getting the table.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Wow, okay, let's go in their primes, Koozi halcheck who
gets the table.
Speaker 10 (28:20):
That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I know that's a tough one for you.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
Dog.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I mean two your favorites.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I mean, no one loves Coozie more than dog and
no one loves h'mgo more than Dog.
Speaker 10 (28:29):
I mean, I guess it depends on what time, what
year it was.
Speaker 9 (28:32):
Nineteen sixty, how about nineteen seventy, He'd give it to
Koozy because he wasn't that far removed from his career. Nowadays,
you might give it to Havelicheck. You know, have Acheck
is one of the all time great Celtics. He's very underrated.
I mean, you can make an argument without a doubt.
Have Acheck's better than Jason Tatum, right, I mean, have
a Check is better than Jayleen j He is much
(28:54):
better than Jaalen Brownies.
Speaker 10 (28:55):
Yeah, God, have a Check is great. Have a Check?
Speaker 4 (28:59):
You know what?
Speaker 9 (28:59):
You know he would have made the Browns in nineteen
sixty four, And when he left the Browns to go
play for the Celtics, Paul Brown caught outback and says,
you're getting my best wide receiver.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
Right, I mean, think about that for a second.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Crazy.
Speaker 10 (29:12):
I mean he was I you know, it wasn't Paul Brown's.
He wasn't. He was blatant kayed.
Speaker 9 (29:17):
But whoever it might be, he was a tremendous basketball
player and have a check. Outside of Russell and Bird
is probably the third greatest Celtic of all time.
Speaker 10 (29:27):
So although I love Couzi, it probably would be Halflechack.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
All right, two more, we get you out here, Shallome,
Ben Stiller, who gets the table?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I mean, Stiller should be better met Galad yesterday. I
don't want to hear from him. He's mister nick fan.
You never heard of David Busher. He's at the met
gala last night. You gotta be kidding me. At least
Chalome was at the.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Game for Kana, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (29:48):
I mean, Challamey gets the table.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
All right, challame gets the table. Speaking of shallow may,
Taylor has a request for you. Go ahead, Taylor quickly here.
Speaker 7 (29:54):
Yeah, we'd like Charlamee on the show as our guest request.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yes we will.
Speaker 9 (29:58):
Yeah, that's a good one. I can't get him on
our show. I can't get him on first take. Jeez,
But I think if you never I still owe you.
Guess got that stupid football. Of course, I gotta get
you somebody. I gotta get you.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I had a season for the Ages. Last one, okay,
last one, I get you out of here, Doggie, this
is a tough one, okay. At the height of Mike
and the Mad Dog, the Franceses walk in, the Russo's
walk in, who gets the table?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
How about that?
Speaker 9 (30:24):
Well, Mike had, Mike had the powered chair right at
w f A N Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Heard you listen and listen.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I know that, and I love Mike, But the first
voice I heard every single day was yours.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
How about that?
Speaker 9 (30:35):
Because of the end, Because of the end, I think
Mike would get the power chair.
Speaker 10 (30:40):
I think Mike would get the table.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
All right, Well, Mike thinks for.
Speaker 9 (30:45):
Mike, it was Mike and the man door. Yes, and
Mike would be annoyed if he didn't get the table.
I can go to McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Mike would allow you to sit at his table. Maybe,
depending on what year it.
Speaker 10 (30:58):
Was, That's true. It depends on the year.
Speaker 9 (31:02):
Some years absolutely, other years I'd be sitting at the
table and not talking to each other.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Your spot yesterday was fantastic with him on your show.
It brought me back to a great time in my life.
More of that, dog, more you and Mike. That was fantastic.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
