Speaker 2 (00:20):
Let's give this.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Oh yeah, back on the radio, and I'm excited to
be in for Stue today. Thank you for the opportunity.
Let's get into it, Taylor, Mike Da You know I
listen to you guys all the time. Now that's the
show that I listen to. You know, since I no
longer do a radio show, this has become my show.
So it's weird to be here as opposed to driving
or listening on the free iHeart app. So very happy
(00:47):
to be You're gonna have a lot of fun today,
a lot of topics to get into, and I just
want to start right off the gate with the Dexter
Lareen stuff. You know, we're talking about this a little
bit last night, and it's not just about Dexter Lawrence
and the Giants. To me, think about it, in any sport,
I don't care what sport it is. Shouldn't you be
in the business of acquiring good players and then developing
(01:09):
those players and then keeping those players. If you put
yourself in a position as an organization that you have
to trade those players because they're unhappy for whatever reason,
I think you have already failed. And a big part
of why John horrible. Everybody's talking about Harball the greatest
thing ever, the greatest coach, and I do think it
was a great hire. But a big part of that
(01:30):
should be because you figure, well, you know what, dex
Lawrence had a down year year ago. He's one of
the best tackles in the sport. You would think John
Harball coming in would maximize his potential. Not being in
a position where, oh there's some turmoil, some problems here
with Dexa Lawrence and the Giants, I wouldn't be in
the business of giving them up. I don't care what
the cost is. If you want to win this year,
(01:52):
and that's what Harball said, you want to win this year,
you better make sure you pay him. Because there's nobody
in that draft, especially this year's draft, that's going to
replace what dex do Lawrence can do so.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Correct me if I'm wrong, and I agree with you
one hundred percent. But weren't you one.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
Of the guys that gave me flack for when I
said the same thing when the Jets traded away Quinnin
Williams and Sauce Gardner.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
I said, it's not about the return.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Yeah, they got all those picks, but when you have
guys that are supposed to be some of the best
at their position, you don't let those guys leave.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
You try and get those guys.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Oh right, but Mike, yeah, you realize the big games here,
right the Jets.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
The Jets did. The Jets stink.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
The Jets did the right thing. Listen, I said, you
failed as an organization if you put yourself in a
spot where you have to get rid of those guys,
that's the spot the Jets wins. So I give the
Jets credit. And we've seen other teams have this issue before.
I mean, the Jets have been doing it forever, dating
back to Darrel Revis, and the thought was, well, okay,
you trade Derel Revis. Well, now they're just going to
draft a corner. How'd that work out? With Dan Milner?
(02:55):
So it's the same thing you don't. The Jets weren't
a different spot a year ago, which is why I
thought it was the right move, because they had already
failed as an organization not being able to maximize what
Williams or sauce Gardner could do. The Giants right now
with Harball should be able to maximize what dexe All
Lawrence can do.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
Sal And it also feels like, correct me if I'm wrong.
The Giants expectations are to compete in year one under Harball,
where the Jets really don't have those expectations, and it's
more about maximizing the capital that you can get for
some of those players in return.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Well, that's the point, right. The Jets are the spot
where they need to rebuild. Their timeline is not going
to be with Quinn Williams and Sauce Gardener winning. They
want to restock the form and by the way, good
luck with that. All the draft picks that they got
this year's draft, look at it. Look at the top
of the draft. It's like, Eh, I don't know, I
like this guy and he's all right, yeah he could
be Okay. That's how they're going to rebuild their team.
And what the Giants is different because Harball comes in
(03:47):
and they want to win. Now, he said that we
are going to make a priority to win every game.
I'm paraphrasing. I forget the exact quote. Forgive me we
want to win every single game. Well, if that's the case,
you don't trade a guy like Dexel Lawrence. And think
of it this way. Look around the league. Pick any
team in the league that is serious about winning. If
a player the caliber of Dexter Lawrence becomes available, they're
(04:08):
gonna be all in on a player like that.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
How is this another is another?
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Is this another failed attempt by their GM Joe Shane
to sort of put his foot down with a star
player and said, you're not gonna dictate this to me.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Look what I did to Saquan.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
The problem is that Joe Shane and the Giants prior
to Horrball's arrival, put themselves in a bad spot as
a franchise, letting go of Dexel Lawrence's best bad to
on one on to win Super Bowls afterwards, and Lawrence
is sitting there saying last year was a down year.
There's no issues about it. But if you take I
guarantee you if he does truly become available. Other teams
that know what they're doing are going to say, we
(04:48):
want this guy because he could change our front line.
He can change our entire defense. That's what winning football
teams do. They take advantage of the teams like like
the Jets. I'm sorry to say it, but that's what
winning football teams do. They go out there and get
the good players. And it happens in all sports. That's
why I wanted to start with this to It could
be baseball too, the same thing, like, oh, this team
can't pay this guy. The Tigers aren't going to pay
(05:09):
school ball. Oh guess what whose fault is that? That's
your own fault. And now the other teams, the rich
teams are gonna feast off of you. It's been going
on forever in sports. And if the New York Giants,
big blue, big bad New York Giants want to consider
themselves a top high end organization like they were in
the past and like they should be now with harbball,
I don't think that being in a position where you,
(05:29):
for whatever reason, you can't pay dex to Lawrence and
you have to trade him, that's a weak position. I
wouldn't expect that to be the case with Harball. You're
never going to get the proper return for a guy
like that, certainly not in this draft, and certainly not
for a team that's talking about winning now.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
And if you've heard Harball talk about Lawrence's importance to
the Giants, it feels like a non story where Lawrence's
problems with the Giants don't have to do with the
coaching staff, it doesn't have to do with his role.
It just can you guys meet me at this dollar amount?
And then it comes down to if Harball wants Dexter Lawrence,
the Giants are going to keep Dexter Lawrence.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I would think that this is a horriball decision, which
makes me feel comfortable about it. Right, I have to
trust horriball. Now, if Harball says the biggest question to me,
wouldn't I want the player? I believe in the player.
But if Harbaugh doesn't and he thinks that dex Lawrence
isn't motivated, I'm choosing to look at it from he
just wants to get paid. He feels underpaid. And there's
(06:27):
no excuse for last year. I mean, he was out
of shape, he said all the wrong things, so that
could be a deterrent. Right if it were Brian Dable
here or a rookie head coach, then I'd be saying,
maybe they should move on from dex Lawrence and you
trade him to a spot where a proven head coach,
Sean Payton, Andy Reid, Sean mcvag whatever, pick a proven
head coach that's going to make the most of what
he can bring. But being that you have horriball here,
(06:47):
one of the first thoughts that I had was instantly, okay, good,
Dexa Lawrence is now going to be fixed. If Harball
can't do it, who can. So the Giant should be
in a spot where they need to keep their player.
And the other thing is what would be the return
of if you're trading a player like Dexel lawrence magnitude,
is the return really worth that even if you believe,
let's say you believe that Dexel Lawrence isn't going to
(07:08):
be motivated and it's negative thing last year with him
being out of shape and saying the things that he said,
and he's not passionate about football. He just wants the money,
and you're on that side of it, you're gonna trade
him for what are you getting anywhere near the proper
value for him? Like for me, that caliber player, that
type of game wrecker, he should be two ones and
they'd be lucky to get a one. I would think it.
(07:29):
Maybe it's gonna be a late one. So there's a
lot that goes into this when you're talking about the
value of the player, the motivation of the player, the
history of the player. But isn't that a big this
is not a rebuild. Isn't that a big part of
why hardball was here? If you have a great head
coach like that, a super Bowl winning head coach who's
built a sustained, successful organization before, wouldn't you think that
(07:51):
the best thing to do use any sport period, the
best thing to do wouldn't that be to keep the
good player. Hard enough to find the good player. And
we know when you talk about New York football, of course,
but in general, hard enough to find the good player,
will you identify one in the draft? Then hard enough
to develop him into a stud. Then he becomes a stud.
You can't move on from him. That's a failure is
(08:11):
an organization. If the Giants have to trade Dexter Lawrence,
they had failed before Harriball even coached a game with
the New York Giants.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Is it is it?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Are we doing too much? You guys gotta tell me?
Should we should we learn what we want to talk about?
What do you think dex Lawrence diet is? Do you
think you came you.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Came out of the gate so hot that we are
so not used to this. I love it, I love it,
but I'm out of practice with it.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
So let me ask you this.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
Is it a question if Dexter Lawrence, who's only twenty
eight years old, if they say, you know what, go
ahead and get your trade, go and get your your
big contract. Is that John Harbaugh saying I don't think
this is the play. I don't think this player can
what we saw because if he can be what he saw,
there is no way in hell John Harball allows that
talent from that position because because he could do something
(09:10):
that so few can do. I saw stat like he
has one hundred and seventy one pressures from the nose
position and the next highest was like twenty eight over
over like the course.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Of two seasons.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
He could do something at an elite level that no
other guy can do. But if they let him go
it's them saying we don't think you can do it
anymore in my.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Opinion, right, And then it comes down to and I
do trust Hallball. That's why I don't think they're ultimately
going to move him, because I trust Harbor to make
the right decision here. If he does move him, that
would mean that he not Joe Shane, not Donaponte, whoever's
run things with the Giants, not the financial people. Harball said,
for whatever reason, football based reason, he doesn't believe that
(09:53):
dex L. Lawrence is gonna fit his program or is
worth the money that they would need to pay him
to keep him here. I don't believe that's gonna be
the case. So I think this is much ado about nothing.
But the fact that you can even get here just
shows you how bad the Giants organization has been and
why Dexter Lawrence is frustrated with what's going on. Harball's
got to clean it. I think that he will, because
if he doesn't, they're all going to be teams lined
(10:14):
up across the NFL. Pick a team that needs a
defensive player or needs to upgrade their defense to get
them over the hump, and there are tons of them
out there. The upper racheal on team. They're going to
be trying to do anything they can to go get
dext Lawns. Maybe they drive the price up, who knows,
but I would believe that a player like that caliber,
all the smart teams, the good teams are going to
go out there and try to take advantage of the giants, MISSQ.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
The other interesting part of it is John Harbaugh is
not a defensive guy. He's not an offensive guy. He's
a he's a CEO guy, He's a he came from
special teams. So it's not that he wants to get
rid of Dexter Lawrence because he's not a scheme fit.
His scheme is these are the players I got, this
is the coaches I'm hiring, this is what we're going
to do.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Listen, let me be the first to say I love
the sports talk. I was on the phone with a
couple of executives at Fox Sports Radio a couple of
days ago. We were talking about who should be the
guest co host. We were between Salakata and an Ai
version of Colin Coward, and let me tell you, sal
I think we chose right.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I'm still ut offense, even the AH, even the Ai
Coward has to be more expensive than I am. I
don't know what to do when you guys, I listened
to the show and you're talking about Dave Taylor your
softball games. I figure we get into that, but not
out of the gate. I mean, come on, I haven't
done a radio show since December. I need to talk
some sports. The podcast isn't cutting for me. These nice
studios here at iHeart. I mean, this is fun. I
can hear myself clear. I got the zooms going on.
(11:33):
This is great. We got to talk some.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
Sports to start, so sal I also have to admit too,
I'm a bit distracted because bordoup Ricardo. If there's day
game baseball, Bardoup Briccardo is gonna have it on. And
as a Yankee fan, I'm watching the Yankees versus the Athletics.
Right now, Yankees are being no hit through six Innox.
I'm gonna getting a little worried.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
That is music to my ears. Wouldn't that? It's sweet
if they could get no hit here.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
It's it's an a level pit like it's Paul Skins
or something. No hitting them? Right?
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Who?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Who's yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Right?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
A guy that we never heard of before? Who is it.
Do we even know his name? He's on the edge.
He can't be that relevant.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
It's somebody named Jeffrey Springs.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Jeffrey Springs, I mean, wouldn't that be fitting? How they
get no hit? Is the guy walking pitching around Aaron Judge. Finally,
you know that's the other thing. I would do baseball
all day long, but doing a national show. I was
once told, if you're doing a national show, you can't
do baseball. And now things have changed in the year
since I was doing a national show. I get it,
but we gotta do some baseball. I figured we can't
start with the baseball. Although if the Yankees getting no hit,
(12:31):
light up the phone lines eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox, give us a call. We'll wait for the
tailor all day long. When his Yankees getting no I mean,
they're gonna come. You know what's gonna happen. We've seen
this play out a million times with the Yankees. They
get no hit for the first five innings, great, okay,
the A's think they have him dead to rights, and
then the Yankees come back with a barrage in the
eighth inning. Trent Grisham gets on. Judge hits a two
(12:51):
tour on Homer and so on. We know how it's
gonna play out already. WAPs, How do you guys because
they grew up hate the Yankees. I'm sorry now, Boonie's
my guy. I love him, but I grew up hating
the Yankees. The one thing around here we get every
great setup. I don't have the TV on. I'm missing
the Yankee game. I didn't realize the Yankees will playing
this afternoon. You want to do the show?
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I can't wait. I gotta get back in the radio.
Oh the Yankees? Will I get a TV show at six?
I'm in the city here, I'm likenckey. Don't get beat
up by you know, the people on the street trying
to get here. I gotta get downtown for a TV
show at six. I can't even watch the Yankees and
mean while they're geting no hate. Go figure.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
It seems like you need a board up Ricardo in
that studio.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Yeah you do. We all need a board up Ricardo.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
You know, we all we need is io was Sam
to make sure it doesn't screw up any sound today?
All right, we got Iowa Sam on the board, bored
off Priccado. How many guys, you got here.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
And producer Jason, producer jac I know he's talking with everybody's.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Getting email three, not four, not five, right, right, we
don't do sports. Let's talk about everything but no and
and we'll get into the Masters and some of the
baseball stuff in a little bit. I just feel like
the NFL, you can talk about anything when the NFL
and I was listening a little bit to Colin Coward
this morning talking about the NFL. Think about how many
teams would be salivating to get the player at caliber
(14:07):
of dex Lawrence, especially when you look at the draft. Now,
I'm not gonna sit here and pretend I'm some draft guru.
I'm not. I'll look at the draft and I'll look
at some of the write ups on some of the players,
and then they're like, oh, Okay, I like this guy
because of so and so his motor or the way
that the way that he handles the interview, all those
different things, certain things about players that will jump out
(14:29):
to me outside of the measurables, which I don't get
caught up on. This draft is weak. There's no way
you're going to replace a player that's an All Pro
like Dexter Lawrence, which to me makes it fascinating. If
the Giants, in my opinion, do the wrong thing and
can't can't come to an agreement on him, I think
other team's gonna be looking at Pounce to go get
Dexter Lawrence salvating Locata. It's all that. That's his that's
(14:55):
all you get.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
He's had his hand up. He's had his hand up
for five minutes. For that.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I have been elevating you, all right. I'm thinking the
whole night last night like you stressed a little bit.
At a matter of fact'm feeling like a little I
don't know if it's a stress head ache, kawanum. I
want to make sure I come out of the gate hot.
But do I have fun with the guys? Do we
hit him with the sports right away? Normally my philosophy
and maybe I should throw that philosophy out the door
because we've seen how far that's gotten me before. Normally
my philosophy would be just come in hot, let's go
(15:20):
sports talk, baby. We'll have fun throughout the course of
the two hours. Two hours like a breeze. I used
to do five six hours on the overnight. Nobody's calling.
I mean in two hours of breeze with you two guys,
Mikey A and Taylor. We're having some funn here. But
I figured I hit him with the sports I think
I think I knocked you both guys out. I'm like
usually there's hands up all over the place. You're both like, Oh,
what's happening here?
Speaker 9 (15:38):
Sports Talk?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I don't know what we're doing.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
You came in ready, go set.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
I don't mess around? Are you kidding me? It might
be my last one. Treat every radio show like at
your last, And That's what I've been doing for a
long time.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
So on the topic of the no hitter that the
A's have right now, it felt like when a pitcher
has a no hitter, where me and Mikey A didn't
want to interact with you near the dugout. We just
want to let you go out do your thing. We
don't want to jinx you. You're talking Dexter Lawrence. You're
in this little groove, you're in this little rhythm.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
We were just letting you go, baby, what's the what
inning WI in with the no hitter? And I appreciate
that because other people jump in and get in my way.
But I figure with you guys, and no I don't
jump in and help out. Let's go what itting way
up with this game.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
We're in the seventh inning, one out in the seventh inning.
Big g up. It's getting real.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
It is getting real. Make sure you stay tuned live
no hit watch right here live on Fox Sports Radio.
We see the Yankees go down. As a matter of fact,
I don't even want that. Like I'm joking around and
it would be fun to make fun of you guys
and are the Yankee fans. But I actually do this
baseball pool throughout the course of the year where you
pick a team for a week and they have to win.
(16:47):
Like if they play seven games for that week, you
have to go four and three. If they only play six,
you have to go minimum three and three. It's like
a survivor and you get three strikes. And the buddy,
the guy that I'm doing the pool with, my buddy,
he picked the Yankees this week. And of course the
Yankees a one to one so far versus the A's
and if they get no hit today, that's no good.
One and two that man, They do play a Tampa which,
by the way, house of horrors for the Yankees in
(17:07):
Tampa Bay. So maybe this will be the week. Fig
go figure the week I take the Yankees, They're gonna
one hundred and five games. The one week I take
the Yankees, they're gonna get no hit. I mean, that's
how these pools usually work. Somebody get a hit. What
am I talking about rooting against the Yankees? I want
that ball. I want to win that pool. I could
use the money. You guys big in there. I know
tell you're a big into baseball, Mike YEA, where are
you at with the baseball? I'm not familiar.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
I'm a big I'm a big Yankee fan, a big.
Speaker 8 (17:28):
Bigger Yankee fan. It's a bigger Yankee fan. Taylor, Yeah,
I watch all one sixty two. Oh, you're a one
sixty two Mike. Ye's a come and go as you
please man.
Speaker 10 (17:39):
He at least eighty ninety eighty to ninety. You know,
if fits on, I'm not staying up. I'm not staying
I'm not staying up for for any West Coast games.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
And the West Coast games they bond you as a fan.
You bond with the West Coast games. Everybody's asleep. You
gotta stay up and watch those games late night.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
So Sally you'll respect this move of me. And this
is the move that you could tell that I don't
have kids, or a family or much responsibilities. We do
the show from three to five. When the Yankees have
the ten o'clock game, I get home around five point
thirty after traffic, take a nap until that game starts.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Oh, look at you.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Live in the life, you know. That's another reason why
I like listening to the show. I live vicariously through you.
Because you have a softball team, you just moved in
with your girlfriend. You could take naps so you could
get ready to watch the games. And I'm like, yesterday
I'm taking my daughter to chuck e cheese, Like my
life is over. People are asking me, are you into
the Masters? I'm like, I used to be, Well, what
happened well, and not just Tiger and Phil, but like
(18:35):
I got married. That's what happened. Instead of sitting there
on Thursday, Friday, certainly Saturday or Sunday watching the Masters
like I used to do, or college basketball the NCAA tournament,
filling on a bracket, I got married. That's the problem.
During the week, I could say, well, I gotta watch
the Mets and Yankees. I gotta watch a lot of
sports on the weekend. It's like, Okay, what are you
gonna do for us? Now? That's the problem. So if
you want to be a sports fan, be weary of
(18:57):
where you're gonna go with your future, even if you're just.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Right now, we have a massive update, John Carlos, stay
and walk, Ben Rice single.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Okay, so they're oh, hit her over? Well that ended.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
You go to break.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Be sure to catch live editions of Steve Godsend Company
Live weekdays at three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Yeah, and look the Blue Jays, I mean they desperately
needed to win. They were going the wrong way in
the American League East. That's why I think it's over already.
I mean the Yankees, come on, wow, you do you guys?
Do you know that I am? But one of like
the things I became famous for outside of New York
(19:43):
was calling the nleast over years ago with the Mets.
The Analyast is over. I said that in May. I
am ready to say it today. The AL East is over.
I mean, come on, the Yankees win. I thought that
they were gonna win it before the season started. You see,
the Red Sox can get out of their own way.
The Blue Jays are taking that World Series hangover even
want to call it. They're going the wrong way. And
if I thought the Yankees were better any way to
(20:03):
start the year, why wouldn't I think the Al East
is over. They're gonna run away with it. And yes,
I am trying to jinx it a little bit. But
what the hell is going on with the Masters? What
are we doing here? I mean, guys are getting former
champions are getting booted because they're using their cell phone.
Like does First of all, nothing says elitists quite like golf, right,
(20:24):
I mean, golf is the most elitist sport that there is.
And then on top of that, it's the Masters. It's
like the exclusive elitist of the elite, and now it's
front center. It's been like that for a while. But
when you're kicking out a former champion for using his phone,
what else whatever other stuff that's going on?
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Now?
Speaker 4 (20:39):
This taking them into a dark room, interrogating them with
their tickets? The hell are we doing here?
Speaker 7 (20:45):
If I buy a ticket, don't worry about where I
bought it from or how much I spent. Just let
me into the grounds.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
And by the way, I'm sure it wasn't. I mean, what,
what like? What are we doing here?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Does do you think the Masters wants us to watch?
Even are we allowed to watch? I'm pretty sure they
want us to watch. They don't want anybody near the grounds.
I mean, good god, even if you buy a ticket. Now,
you buy a ticket and you can't be on the ground.
What is this? How is that not a turn off?
I understand that the world is changing in all these
different things, and some people have been certain in sensitive.
I'm not trying to make this political at all, but
(21:20):
I mean, good god, the Masters acts like I don't
want to watch you? How about that? You don't want me?
I don't even want to watch you now? Although I
do like the competition of it. That's the problem that
we have. What is going on here though? Booting people
getting out of let him in? You guys have ever
been in the Master?
Speaker 5 (21:35):
I love the idea of a bunch of no, no, no, STU.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Hasn't hooked you up yet with that. No, I'm just
assuming he has.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
No STU hook us up with something. No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
What do you wait? What's going on here? He's a
big he's a big Masters guy. Never did the show
from there or anything. Has I'm assuming STUW has been
to the Masters, right, do we av?
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (22:03):
Yes he has for sure.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Oh yes, all right, but you guys, haven't you have
any interest of doing that? Like on the bucket list.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
It's on my sports bucket list, but it's not too
high up on the sports bucket list where if I
kick the bucket, tomorrow's out. I wouldn't regret not going
to the Masters.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Same same, I think it would be cool to go,
but I'm like, see, I was the same way even
when I was going to clubs, where if you were
going to clubs when you were younger and you had
to have certain shoes on, I'm like, I don't like
wearing those shoes. I like wearing comfy sneakers. They're nice sneakers,
Like they're clean jeans. Look, I have a button down,
but I gotta wear different types. So any club had that,
(22:40):
I was like, you know what, I don't want to go.
So as much as I would love to experience the Masters,
I know that they don't want me there, So you
know what, screw you, man. I don't want to go, period,
doesn't need to be on my bucket list.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
And it feels like when you go to a golfing event,
you need to have a plan. When I'm going to
a sporting event, the last thing I need is a plan.
I just go on to sit in my seat enjoy
the day. If my plan was, hey, just sit at
the eighteenth green and wait for people. Okay, that's a
little bit better. But then when I'm when I'm thinking
about it's like, am I following this golfer? Am I
following this golfer? Do I want to see this hole?
(23:12):
Do I want to see this whole? It's just too
many variables for a golf event for me.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Great point. I've heard great things about it. I've never
actually been to a golf event. But I'm with you.
If I'm going to watch anything, I'd probably rather sit
at the eighteenth hole, Like why would you why would
you want to do anything? Oh? I saw so and
so tee off. Oh it was great? Yeah, and then
what then would you do?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Well?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
What do you do after that? I want to watch?
I can't even watch them complete the hole. I mean,
I guess you coul follow them. I don't know how
that works. You guys want to get some calls in here?
Do we have any calls? Eight seven, seven nine nine.
On Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six three
six nine, Renato is calling from New York. What's up, Bernado? Renando?
Are you with us?
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Is? I'm with you?
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (23:59):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Rando?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Hey? I said, I love you guys. I fathered you
would beating him sou on the old station. I'd love
to see you doing big things, though.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
I'm not familiar with you talking about but thank you.
You have a sports point, Renaldo, what's on your mind?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Two giants questions? Well, one giant question when Racini questions,
how do you think Joe Shane is going to balance
the draft now that he has to answer the hard bro?
And then why do you think uh Rai's getting just
as much flash?
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Oh thank you for the call, Renando. We get to
lose that and done that. Here's what I would say.
You brought up Joe Shane. Joe Shane's gonna be irrelevant.
Joe Shane had and that's a good thing. If you're
a Giant fan, Joe Shane's irrelevant, you don't want him
anywhere near making any decisions with this draft. Look at
how what he's done. Joe Shane should be fired. He's look,
he has a job. Joe Shane was worse than New
(24:46):
York than I was, and I'm the one out. I
don't know how that happened. Let's go pound for pound up,
put my work up against his. How does that work?
Speaker 5 (24:55):
I don't believe you found Jackson Dart.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I don't think he did either. I was brought.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
I'm able, how fair?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
I don't think you wanted to.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I think back to the Jets draft when Mike Tannenbaum
was the GM and Rex Ryan was the head coach,
and he used to give Rex Ryan a pick in
like the fifth round. Like coach, you pick the player
whoever you want, we're gonna go get him. And he
famously took like John Connor, the full back terminator. I
pictured John Harbaught doing that for Joe Shane. Listen, you
(25:26):
can have some fifth round pick Joe whoever you want. Well,
we'll bring him in and we'll give him a hat
and the whole bit.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
We'll do a jersey. But that's all you're getting.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
That's exactly right. I think Joe Shade at this point,
and I think he's smart. I hope he's smart enough
to understand this. He's fortunate that Horrball kept him wrong.
I'm not saying Joe Shane's a bad guy. What I'm
saying is he's been bad at his job. And usually
in the NFL world, that would lead you, if the
results are bad, that would lead you to be out.
But John Harbor was taking control, so the last name
that I'd bring up would be Joe Sheen as the
(25:55):
perteens to the draft. Here, let's get one more and
Ian is in Fort Lauderdale. Ian, I'm noticing a delay
with the calls.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Is that there is a little bit of delay?
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Okay, it's okay. I'm getting used to this friend. I
are you with us?
Speaker 9 (26:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (26:09):
Salth can you hear me?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
I got you? What's up?
Speaker 11 (26:11):
Be in Hey, Sal's roommate Ian, Taylor's Taylor's buddy.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Roommate in real horrible horrible.
Speaker 11 (26:22):
Oh, I want to talk about you know, Taylor's.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Roommate in I've heard all about you. You can't get
you bring your girlfriend a show off and you're a
butcher in the outfield and come on, pick it up,
my friend.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Listen, listen.
Speaker 11 (26:38):
Taylor is the first one to throw some under the bus.
We had another game on Monday, been here get mentioned
diving play at first base? Uh, Taylor had a diving
play in the outfield and missed it by five feet.
Speaker 9 (26:50):
All went to the wall.
Speaker 11 (26:51):
Don't think that got brought up.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
But well, you know word under the bridge for all
friends here, right?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yes, but h yeah, but you've been from the outfield
to first base. I wouldn't be bragging about a diving
play at first If you're playing first base in softball,
it means you really can't do much else. I'm sorry, Ian,
mm hmm toche.
Speaker 11 (27:11):
But now the real reason I wanted to call in.
I am so sick of watching j c Ascara. I mean, George.
Speaker 12 (27:19):
If George was alive, he would have been DFA three
weeks ago. But what are we doing here watching him
a few times ago in one week coming up to
bat in the in the ninth inning or you know,
big situation and we're leaving him in there? Goldsmid on
the on the bench, wells on the bench last night,
What tell your boy Boonie to figure it out?
Speaker 11 (27:39):
I cannot watch.
Speaker 9 (27:41):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
I will I will get on that.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Ian.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Thank you for the call, and thank you for making
me feel right at home talking about j c Escara
as we do a national show, Like jac Escarra was
an overnight radio topic, I wouldn't even do him on
the midday show, let alone on a national show. You
bring it up, J c Ascara, and maybe that's because
you feel like you modeled your game after him. In uh,
with JC a Scar, you're the Taylor. Is it even
fair to call him the JC Ascar of your softball team?
Speaker 9 (28:06):
No?
Speaker 4 (28:06):
So less he is.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
Right Monday, he redeemed himself big time. Like like going
into Week three or Game three, nobody has questions about
Ian's defense because it seems like we found a home
for him at first base. He did make a great diving.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Catch, okay, I mean what happened with yours?
Speaker 7 (28:25):
So so he tried to throw me under the bus there.
It was one of those balls where you don't really
have much of a chance at it, So I'm just
gonna dive and just see how close I could get
to it. I didn't even come close to touching the ball.
He was right about that.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
But you you probably nobody else will be in the vicinity.
Not that I'm trying to defend you here, but just
from listening to you call yourself, Andrew Jones. You were
former athlete, like you were a legit athlete. I'm assuming
that you had to be. Don't you're not not not
former athlete? I am an athlete. Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Well your former collegiate athlete. Correct? Is that the right
way to say? Correct? Correct? And and now you're currently
(29:01):
participating in rec league softball.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
Yeah, yeah, we're all it too.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Yeah, but I'm not sure I could call you.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
It's a huge fall from grace. Yeah, going from acc
football fields to a softball field in Fort Lauderdale, it's
a drastic one eighty.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
With ian and is he he can't catch? Is he
can't hit?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
You? You were?
Speaker 4 (29:27):
I don't take it back. You were an athlete, a
former athlete.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
Now we we have about four softball players combined on
our roster, and you're two of them.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
Yeah? Right? Really?
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Did he show up his girlfriend show up for his
his sellar performance this time around?
Speaker 7 (29:47):
No, his girlfriend stayed home, and he also had a
Dominican Republic hat. On game one when we got ten
run ruled within fifteen minutes, he left a hat at home.
Week two, he said he has to earn the hat
next time.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Okay, I respect it. I mean I'm using I think.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
I think if he showed up with the Dominican Republic
at Game three, nobody's questioning it.

go with Stugotts and hawk I've seen some of the
clips there. Those two were funny together. All right, let's
get some calls in here before we take the end
of the hour break here an hour already, it's flying by.
I need more. Hey, you think you know on rich Well,
let us get another hour or so. I love those guys,
(31:02):
you know, I used to work. I used to work
with them at at smy and I dressed up with
Covino I think was out. I filled in with with
Rich on their show, Cavino and Rich, and I was
Doctor Evil for the day. And I actually did a
good Doctor Evil. I had mister Biggle's worth with me,
the cat or near Rich. That's not what we're talking about.
It was weird for me. That was like the first
time I started I was in sports. How about New
(31:23):
Rich You're crazy?
Speaker 5 (31:25):
You know?
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Can we say?
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:26):
I don't want to say the world.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
I forget what.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Exactly. I forget what Rich was. It might have been
a forty nine er or something, and it was a
big forty nine Ers fan. Anyway, Cavino Rich coming up next.
I just, you know, two hours, were having so much fun.
I feel like I need a little bit more the
Taylor of my gear. Like, dude, we're getting the hell
out of here. Leave us alone, all right, Let's go
to Larry in Toledo, Ohio. Larry, I have a feeling
you're not gonna be talking about the Giants or Yankees,
and I welcome that what's on your mind, Larry.
Speaker 9 (31:53):
Oh, I'm a big Yankee fan, but I want to
talk about golf for a minute.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Yeah. Please.
Speaker 9 (31:57):
I would want to go to the Masters because those
guys that I'm a terrible golfer, but I just like
to go out and hit the bump. But when you
go to the match, you have to watch and plan
your tip to like three different holes. If you just
sit at the eighteenth green and I gotta see anything
for three hours till the guys come round, but you
got to go like the third tee box, the sixty box,
(32:19):
then you go to the eighteenth. I've been to the
Memorial a couple of times. It's great down.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Here, but by the time but by the time you
get to the eighteenth, then all the seats are going
to be taken, aren't they. Oh he's gone, okay, Well,
thank you, Larry. I can imagine that all the seats
will be wouldn't that be if you get to wait
till the end. He does make a good point. Tail
you were probably wrong on that. You can't just go
(32:43):
sit in the eighteenth hole on the green because then
you're not gonna see any action. But to your point
where it kind of sided with you. You know, people wait
online all sorts of hours to be able to get
things whatever it may be. If you wait till the end,
you're not gonna have a seat on the eighteenth green.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
In hindsight, it would be strange for them to open
the gates and I sprint right to eighteen.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
You watch it on your phone.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Sounds like really miss him. It sounds like a good
place to tie a couple on just waiting. Hey, I
got three hours till somebody gets here.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Well, isn't that what you debuse? I mean, look my
experience with golf, and I'm just like, I'm just being
real with you. My experience was aside from the you know,
like golf Nintendo game was maybe my first experience with it,
and then playing Tiger Woods for EA Sports all those games.
Outside of that, it was Happy Gilmore. I mean, that
was it, so my my vision, and this was before
(33:31):
Tiger became huge. I think it was maybe around the
same time, but Happy Gilmore was what like ninety six
ninety seven, and then Tiger was in the midst of
his runs, all right, the Tiger Slam right around those years,
So maybe it was simultaneous, but simultaneously but like I
want the Happy Gilmour experience. It seems like The Masters
is everything, but which is a part of what made
Happy Gilmore so great. I don't want to go there
(33:53):
and be stiff and watch these guys tee off and
give a little golf clap. What's a golf clap? I mean,
you heard the open to the show. You think I'm
about golf clapping. Come on, man, I'm coming in hot.
Let's go, Let's hit that ball. Let's get you guys
like Happy Gilmore. No, I'm a fan. What about Happy Good?
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (34:13):
The second one, mike Ya, no good. It was a
little too gimmicky. I wouldn't say I loved it, but
it's still the stand man like anything Sandler does, and
it's Happy Gilmores all these years later. Maybe one of
the reason why I didn't love it. And you guys said,
there's too many golfers in it. There's too many real
golfers in it. It was a cameo city in this thing.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
Green Jagon, who gives it?
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Here you go? That's one of my favorites ever. That's
what I say about The Masters. You're right, happy gold jacket,
green jacket jacket, green Jagon who gives it can? Is
there like a league? I know that there's live golf.
Is there like a league? That could be the equivalent
to what the Savannah Bananas is for golf. Then maybe
we'd all be like, hey, they let us in. They
aren't even taking us to these back rooms to penalize
(34:58):
office or I'm allowed to use my cell phone and
this is unbelievable. I could wear shorts if I want,
or dye my hair. I mean, is there can we
get a golf equivalent to that?
Speaker 7 (35:06):
I think the closest thing we have is the waste
open management.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
Yeah, I'm not familiar with this. You want to explain that.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
It's in like Scottsdale, Arizona. It's like a party. I
believe it's the sixteenth hole where if you go on
the green, everybody's just like chucking beers around.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Yeah, that sounds fun. And then what's the other one
that you guys do with Stue? The Lake Tahoe? That's
the uh Tahoe?
Speaker 7 (35:29):
How a celebrity? That one is just awesome because it's
just celebrities and you kind of see Stu Gotts in
his element where I'm going up to people and I
don't really want to ask you to come on the podcast, which,
to Stu Gott's credit, it's not really that great of
a executive producer where I don't really want to go
and ask people if they want to come on the show.
But Stuve Gotts will see Ray vermondo and be like, Ray, buddy,
(35:52):
remember me, we need you on the show, And then
Ray Vermond's like, I don't really want to do this.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
I'm kind of with bold of you, because Stu is
right that it is in fact your job, Like I
was a producer do and I hated it. Oh, Steve Summers,
can you call you know, whoever it may be, whoever
I was producing? Can you call this person that person?
I'm like, yeah, I mean, I guess, but I feel
weird bothering them because I know I wouldn't want to
be bothered. But as a producer, you kind of you
(36:21):
kind of have to do that.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
Your job is to bother people. Yes.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
So, so when we were in Tahoe, a lot of
people would say they were coming on and then just
never show up to the time they scheduled. The best one.
The best one though, was I asked Baker Mayfield, Hey, Baker,
we got a podcast. Do you want to come on?
He just looked at me and goes, no, thanks, You
respect it, You respect it. I've had that happen before,
(36:44):
and it wasn't the likes of Baker Mayfield. It was
producing for Joe Beningo and Evan Roberts Yankee Stadium opening day.
I'm on the field Yankee Stadium, even me, who hated Yankees.
I'm like, wow, this is pretty cool. And I'm down
there with like a Mike and whatever. And the head said, hey, uh,
I think it was Mike Lupica. Hey it was a
writer for the Daily News. Sright, Hey, Mike, you know
Joe Biningo, what ever? Roberts are here from the fan?
You want to come on with them? He's like, no, no,
(37:05):
I'm good.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
Turned down by Mike Lupeka, what at least you got
Baker Mayfield. Now imagine how the I know it wasn't
about me, but that hurt my self esteem. It's why
I gave up producing. Although maybe I should have stuck
to that. I might have still been employed.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
All right.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
More coming up next hour eight seven, seven ninety nine

Let's give this.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Oh yeah, back on the radio, and I'm excited to
be in for Stue today. Thank you for the opportunity.
Let's get into it, Taylor, Mike Da You know I
listen to you guys all the time. Now that's the
show that I listen to. You know, since I no
longer do a radio show, this has become my show.
So it's weird to be here as opposed to driving
or listening on the free iHeart app. So very happy
(00:47):
to be You're gonna have a lot of fun today,
a lot of topics to get into, and I just
want to start right off the gate with the Dexter
Lareen stuff. You know, we're talking about this a little
bit last night, and it's not just about Dexter Lawrence
and the Giants. To me, think about it, in any sport,
I don't care what sport it is. Shouldn't you be
in the business of acquiring good players and then developing
(01:09):
those players and then keeping those players. If you put
yourself in a position as an organization that you have
to trade those players because they're unhappy for whatever reason,
I think you have already failed. And a big part
of why John horrible. Everybody's talking about Harball the greatest
thing ever, the greatest coach, and I do think it
was a great hire. But a big part of that
(01:30):
should be because you figure, well, you know what, dex
Lawrence had a down year year ago. He's one of
the best tackles in the sport. You would think John
Harball coming in would maximize his potential. Not being in
a position where, oh there's some turmoil, some problems here
with Dexa Lawrence and the Giants, I wouldn't be in
the business of giving them up. I don't care what
the cost is. If you want to win this year,
(01:52):
and that's what Harball said, you want to win this year,
you better make sure you pay him. Because there's nobody
in that draft, especially this year's draft, that's going to
replace what dex do Lawrence can do so.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Correct me if I'm wrong, and I agree with you
one hundred percent. But weren't you one.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
Of the guys that gave me flack for when I
said the same thing when the Jets traded away Quinnin
Williams and Sauce Gardner.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
I said, it's not about the return.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Yeah, they got all those picks, but when you have
guys that are supposed to be some of the best
at their position, you don't let those guys leave.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
You try and get those guys.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Oh right, but Mike, yeah, you realize the big games here,
right the Jets.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
The Jets did. The Jets stink.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
The Jets did the right thing. Listen, I said, you
failed as an organization if you put yourself in a
spot where you have to get rid of those guys,
that's the spot the Jets wins. So I give the
Jets credit. And we've seen other teams have this issue before.
I mean, the Jets have been doing it forever, dating
back to Darrel Revis, and the thought was, well, okay,
you trade Derel Revis. Well, now they're just going to
draft a corner. How'd that work out? With Dan Milner?
(02:55):
So it's the same thing you don't. The Jets weren't
a different spot a year ago, which is why I
thought it was the right move, because they had already
failed as an organization not being able to maximize what
Williams or sauce Gardner could do. The Giants right now
with Harball should be able to maximize what dexe All
Lawrence can do.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
Sal And it also feels like, correct me if I'm wrong.
The Giants expectations are to compete in year one under Harball,
where the Jets really don't have those expectations, and it's
more about maximizing the capital that you can get for
some of those players in return.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Well, that's the point, right. The Jets are the spot
where they need to rebuild. Their timeline is not going
to be with Quinn Williams and Sauce Gardener winning. They
want to restock the form and by the way, good
luck with that. All the draft picks that they got
this year's draft, look at it. Look at the top
of the draft. It's like, Eh, I don't know, I
like this guy and he's all right, yeah he could
be Okay. That's how they're going to rebuild their team.
And what the Giants is different because Harball comes in
(03:47):
and they want to win. Now, he said that we
are going to make a priority to win every game.
I'm paraphrasing. I forget the exact quote. Forgive me we
want to win every single game. Well, if that's the case,
you don't trade a guy like Dexel Lawrence. And think
of it this way. Look around the league. Pick any
team in the league that is serious about winning. If
a player the caliber of Dexter Lawrence becomes available, they're
(04:08):
gonna be all in on a player like that.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
How is this another is another?
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Is this another failed attempt by their GM Joe Shane
to sort of put his foot down with a star
player and said, you're not gonna dictate this to me.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Look what I did to Saquan.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
The problem is that Joe Shane and the Giants prior
to Horrball's arrival, put themselves in a bad spot as
a franchise, letting go of Dexel Lawrence's best bad to
on one on to win Super Bowls afterwards, and Lawrence
is sitting there saying last year was a down year.
There's no issues about it. But if you take I
guarantee you if he does truly become available. Other teams
that know what they're doing are going to say, we
(04:48):
want this guy because he could change our front line.
He can change our entire defense. That's what winning football
teams do. They take advantage of the teams like like
the Jets. I'm sorry to say it, but that's what
winning football teams do. They go out there and get
the good players. And it happens in all sports. That's
why I wanted to start with this to It could
be baseball too, the same thing, like, oh, this team
can't pay this guy. The Tigers aren't going to pay
(05:09):
school ball. Oh guess what whose fault is that? That's
your own fault. And now the other teams, the rich
teams are gonna feast off of you. It's been going
on forever in sports. And if the New York Giants,
big blue, big bad New York Giants want to consider
themselves a top high end organization like they were in
the past and like they should be now with harbball,
I don't think that being in a position where you,
(05:29):
for whatever reason, you can't pay dex to Lawrence and
you have to trade him, that's a weak position. I
wouldn't expect that to be the case with Harball. You're
never going to get the proper return for a guy
like that, certainly not in this draft, and certainly not
for a team that's talking about winning now.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
And if you've heard Harball talk about Lawrence's importance to
the Giants, it feels like a non story where Lawrence's
problems with the Giants don't have to do with the
coaching staff, it doesn't have to do with his role.
It just can you guys meet me at this dollar amount?
And then it comes down to if Harball wants Dexter Lawrence,
the Giants are going to keep Dexter Lawrence.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I would think that this is a horriball decision, which
makes me feel comfortable about it. Right, I have to
trust horriball. Now, if Harball says the biggest question to me,
wouldn't I want the player? I believe in the player.
But if Harbaugh doesn't and he thinks that dex Lawrence
isn't motivated, I'm choosing to look at it from he
just wants to get paid. He feels underpaid. And there's
(06:27):
no excuse for last year. I mean, he was out
of shape, he said all the wrong things, so that
could be a deterrent. Right if it were Brian Dable
here or a rookie head coach, then I'd be saying,
maybe they should move on from dex Lawrence and you
trade him to a spot where a proven head coach,
Sean Payton, Andy Reid, Sean mcvag whatever, pick a proven
head coach that's going to make the most of what
he can bring. But being that you have horriball here,
(06:47):
one of the first thoughts that I had was instantly, okay, good,
Dexa Lawrence is now going to be fixed. If Harball
can't do it, who can. So the Giant should be
in a spot where they need to keep their player.
And the other thing is what would be the return
of if you're trading a player like Dexel lawrence magnitude,
is the return really worth that even if you believe,
let's say you believe that Dexel Lawrence isn't going to
(07:08):
be motivated and it's negative thing last year with him
being out of shape and saying the things that he said,
and he's not passionate about football. He just wants the money,
and you're on that side of it, you're gonna trade
him for what are you getting anywhere near the proper
value for him? Like for me, that caliber player, that
type of game wrecker, he should be two ones and
they'd be lucky to get a one. I would think it.
(07:29):
Maybe it's gonna be a late one. So there's a
lot that goes into this when you're talking about the
value of the player, the motivation of the player, the
history of the player. But isn't that a big this
is not a rebuild. Isn't that a big part of
why hardball was here? If you have a great head
coach like that, a super Bowl winning head coach who's
built a sustained, successful organization before, wouldn't you think that
(07:51):
the best thing to do use any sport period, the
best thing to do wouldn't that be to keep the
good player. Hard enough to find the good player. And
we know when you talk about New York football, of course,
but in general, hard enough to find the good player,
will you identify one in the draft? Then hard enough
to develop him into a stud. Then he becomes a stud.
You can't move on from him. That's a failure is
(08:11):
an organization. If the Giants have to trade Dexter Lawrence,
they had failed before Harriball even coached a game with
the New York Giants.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Is it is it?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Are we doing too much? You guys gotta tell me?
Should we should we learn what we want to talk about?
What do you think dex Lawrence diet is? Do you
think you came you.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Came out of the gate so hot that we are
so not used to this. I love it, I love it,
but I'm out of practice with it.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
So let me ask you this.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
Is it a question if Dexter Lawrence, who's only twenty
eight years old, if they say, you know what, go
ahead and get your trade, go and get your your
big contract. Is that John Harbaugh saying I don't think
this is the play. I don't think this player can
what we saw because if he can be what he saw,
there is no way in hell John Harball allows that
talent from that position because because he could do something
(09:10):
that so few can do. I saw stat like he
has one hundred and seventy one pressures from the nose
position and the next highest was like twenty eight over
over like the course.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Of two seasons.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
He could do something at an elite level that no
other guy can do. But if they let him go
it's them saying we don't think you can do it
anymore in my.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Opinion, right, And then it comes down to and I
do trust Hallball. That's why I don't think they're ultimately
going to move him, because I trust Harbor to make
the right decision here. If he does move him, that
would mean that he not Joe Shane, not Donaponte, whoever's
run things with the Giants, not the financial people. Harball said,
for whatever reason, football based reason, he doesn't believe that
(09:53):
dex L. Lawrence is gonna fit his program or is
worth the money that they would need to pay him
to keep him here. I don't believe that's gonna be
the case. So I think this is much ado about nothing.
But the fact that you can even get here just
shows you how bad the Giants organization has been and
why Dexter Lawrence is frustrated with what's going on. Harball's
got to clean it. I think that he will, because
if he doesn't, they're all going to be teams lined
(10:14):
up across the NFL. Pick a team that needs a
defensive player or needs to upgrade their defense to get
them over the hump, and there are tons of them
out there. The upper racheal on team. They're going to
be trying to do anything they can to go get
dext Lawns. Maybe they drive the price up, who knows,
but I would believe that a player like that caliber,
all the smart teams, the good teams are going to
go out there and try to take advantage of the giants, MISSQ.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
The other interesting part of it is John Harbaugh is
not a defensive guy. He's not an offensive guy. He's
a he's a CEO guy, He's a he came from
special teams. So it's not that he wants to get
rid of Dexter Lawrence because he's not a scheme fit.
His scheme is these are the players I got, this
is the coaches I'm hiring, this is what we're going
to do.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Listen, let me be the first to say I love
the sports talk. I was on the phone with a
couple of executives at Fox Sports Radio a couple of
days ago. We were talking about who should be the
guest co host. We were between Salakata and an Ai
version of Colin Coward, and let me tell you, sal
I think we chose right.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I'm still ut offense, even the AH, even the Ai
Coward has to be more expensive than I am. I
don't know what to do when you guys, I listened
to the show and you're talking about Dave Taylor your
softball games. I figure we get into that, but not
out of the gate. I mean, come on, I haven't
done a radio show since December. I need to talk
some sports. The podcast isn't cutting for me. These nice
studios here at iHeart. I mean, this is fun. I
can hear myself clear. I got the zooms going on.
(11:33):
This is great. We got to talk some.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
Sports to start, so sal I also have to admit too,
I'm a bit distracted because bordoup Ricardo. If there's day
game baseball, Bardoup Briccardo is gonna have it on. And
as a Yankee fan, I'm watching the Yankees versus the Athletics.
Right now, Yankees are being no hit through six Innox.
I'm gonna getting a little worried.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
That is music to my ears. Wouldn't that? It's sweet
if they could get no hit here.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
It's it's an a level pit like it's Paul Skins
or something. No hitting them? Right?
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Who?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Who's yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Right?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
A guy that we never heard of before? Who is it.
Do we even know his name? He's on the edge.
He can't be that relevant.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
It's somebody named Jeffrey Springs.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Jeffrey Springs, I mean, wouldn't that be fitting? How they
get no hit? Is the guy walking pitching around Aaron Judge. Finally,
you know that's the other thing. I would do baseball
all day long, but doing a national show. I was
once told, if you're doing a national show, you can't
do baseball. And now things have changed in the year
since I was doing a national show. I get it,
but we gotta do some baseball. I figured we can't
start with the baseball. Although if the Yankees getting no hit,
(12:31):
light up the phone lines eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox, give us a call. We'll wait for the
tailor all day long. When his Yankees getting no I mean,
they're gonna come. You know what's gonna happen. We've seen
this play out a million times with the Yankees. They
get no hit for the first five innings, great, okay,
the A's think they have him dead to rights, and
then the Yankees come back with a barrage in the
eighth inning. Trent Grisham gets on. Judge hits a two
(12:51):
tour on Homer and so on. We know how it's
gonna play out already. WAPs, How do you guys because
they grew up hate the Yankees. I'm sorry now, Boonie's
my guy. I love him, but I grew up hating
the Yankees. The one thing around here we get every
great setup. I don't have the TV on. I'm missing
the Yankee game. I didn't realize the Yankees will playing
this afternoon. You want to do the show?
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I can't wait. I gotta get back in the radio.
Oh the Yankees? Will I get a TV show at six?
I'm in the city here, I'm likenckey. Don't get beat
up by you know, the people on the street trying
to get here. I gotta get downtown for a TV
show at six. I can't even watch the Yankees and
mean while they're geting no hate. Go figure.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
It seems like you need a board up Ricardo in
that studio.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Yeah you do. We all need a board up Ricardo.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
You know, we all we need is io was Sam
to make sure it doesn't screw up any sound today?
All right, we got Iowa Sam on the board, bored
off Priccado. How many guys, you got here.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
And producer Jason, producer jac I know he's talking with everybody's.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Getting email three, not four, not five, right, right, we
don't do sports. Let's talk about everything but no and
and we'll get into the Masters and some of the
baseball stuff in a little bit. I just feel like
the NFL, you can talk about anything when the NFL
and I was listening a little bit to Colin Coward
this morning talking about the NFL. Think about how many
teams would be salivating to get the player at caliber
(14:07):
of dex Lawrence, especially when you look at the draft. Now,
I'm not gonna sit here and pretend I'm some draft guru.
I'm not. I'll look at the draft and I'll look
at some of the write ups on some of the players,
and then they're like, oh, Okay, I like this guy
because of so and so his motor or the way
that the way that he handles the interview, all those
different things, certain things about players that will jump out
(14:29):
to me outside of the measurables, which I don't get
caught up on. This draft is weak. There's no way
you're going to replace a player that's an All Pro
like Dexter Lawrence, which to me makes it fascinating. If
the Giants, in my opinion, do the wrong thing and
can't can't come to an agreement on him, I think
other team's gonna be looking at Pounce to go get
Dexter Lawrence salvating Locata. It's all that. That's his that's
(14:55):
all you get.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
He's had his hand up. He's had his hand up
for five minutes. For that.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I have been elevating you, all right. I'm thinking the
whole night last night like you stressed a little bit.
At a matter of fact'm feeling like a little I
don't know if it's a stress head ache, kawanum. I
want to make sure I come out of the gate hot.
But do I have fun with the guys? Do we
hit him with the sports right away? Normally my philosophy
and maybe I should throw that philosophy out the door
because we've seen how far that's gotten me before. Normally
my philosophy would be just come in hot, let's go
(15:20):
sports talk, baby. We'll have fun throughout the course of
the two hours. Two hours like a breeze. I used
to do five six hours on the overnight. Nobody's calling.
I mean in two hours of breeze with you two guys,
Mikey A and Taylor. We're having some funn here. But
I figured I hit him with the sports I think
I think I knocked you both guys out. I'm like
usually there's hands up all over the place. You're both like, Oh,
what's happening here?
Speaker 9 (15:38):
Sports Talk?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I don't know what we're doing.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
You came in ready, go set.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
I don't mess around? Are you kidding me? It might
be my last one. Treat every radio show like at
your last, And That's what I've been doing for a
long time.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
So on the topic of the no hitter that the
A's have right now, it felt like when a pitcher
has a no hitter, where me and Mikey A didn't
want to interact with you near the dugout. We just
want to let you go out do your thing. We
don't want to jinx you. You're talking Dexter Lawrence. You're
in this little groove, you're in this little rhythm.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
We were just letting you go, baby, what's the what
inning WI in with the no hitter? And I appreciate
that because other people jump in and get in my way.
But I figure with you guys, and no I don't
jump in and help out. Let's go what itting way
up with this game.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
We're in the seventh inning, one out in the seventh inning.
Big g up. It's getting real.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
It is getting real. Make sure you stay tuned live
no hit watch right here live on Fox Sports Radio.
We see the Yankees go down. As a matter of fact,
I don't even want that. Like I'm joking around and
it would be fun to make fun of you guys
and are the Yankee fans. But I actually do this
baseball pool throughout the course of the year where you
pick a team for a week and they have to win.
(16:47):
Like if they play seven games for that week, you
have to go four and three. If they only play six,
you have to go minimum three and three. It's like
a survivor and you get three strikes. And the buddy,
the guy that I'm doing the pool with, my buddy,
he picked the Yankees this week. And of course the
Yankees a one to one so far versus the A's
and if they get no hit today, that's no good.
One and two that man, They do play a Tampa which,
by the way, house of horrors for the Yankees in
(17:07):
Tampa Bay. So maybe this will be the week. Fig
go figure the week I take the Yankees, They're gonna
one hundred and five games. The one week I take
the Yankees, they're gonna get no hit. I mean, that's
how these pools usually work. Somebody get a hit. What
am I talking about rooting against the Yankees? I want
that ball. I want to win that pool. I could
use the money. You guys big in there. I know
tell you're a big into baseball, Mike YEA, where are
you at with the baseball? I'm not familiar.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
I'm a big I'm a big Yankee fan, a big.
Speaker 8 (17:28):
Bigger Yankee fan. It's a bigger Yankee fan. Taylor, Yeah,
I watch all one sixty two. Oh, you're a one
sixty two Mike. Ye's a come and go as you
please man.
Speaker 10 (17:39):
He at least eighty ninety eighty to ninety. You know,
if fits on, I'm not staying up. I'm not staying
I'm not staying up for for any West Coast games.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
And the West Coast games they bond you as a fan.
You bond with the West Coast games. Everybody's asleep. You
gotta stay up and watch those games late night.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
So Sally you'll respect this move of me. And this
is the move that you could tell that I don't
have kids, or a family or much responsibilities. We do
the show from three to five. When the Yankees have
the ten o'clock game, I get home around five point
thirty after traffic, take a nap until that game starts.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Oh, look at you.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Live in the life, you know. That's another reason why
I like listening to the show. I live vicariously through you.
Because you have a softball team, you just moved in
with your girlfriend. You could take naps so you could
get ready to watch the games. And I'm like, yesterday
I'm taking my daughter to chuck e cheese, Like my
life is over. People are asking me, are you into
the Masters? I'm like, I used to be, Well, what
happened well, and not just Tiger and Phil, but like
(18:35):
I got married. That's what happened. Instead of sitting there
on Thursday, Friday, certainly Saturday or Sunday watching the Masters
like I used to do, or college basketball the NCAA tournament,
filling on a bracket, I got married. That's the problem.
During the week, I could say, well, I gotta watch
the Mets and Yankees. I gotta watch a lot of
sports on the weekend. It's like, Okay, what are you
gonna do for us? Now? That's the problem. So if
you want to be a sports fan, be weary of
(18:57):
where you're gonna go with your future, even if you're just.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Right now, we have a massive update, John Carlos, stay
and walk, Ben Rice single.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Okay, so they're oh, hit her over? Well that ended.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
You go to break.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Be sure to catch live editions of Steve Godsend Company
Live weekdays at three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Yeah, and look the Blue Jays, I mean they desperately
needed to win. They were going the wrong way in
the American League East. That's why I think it's over already.
I mean the Yankees, come on, wow, you do you guys?
Do you know that I am? But one of like
the things I became famous for outside of New York
(19:43):
was calling the nleast over years ago with the Mets.
The Analyast is over. I said that in May. I
am ready to say it today. The AL East is over.
I mean, come on, the Yankees win. I thought that
they were gonna win it before the season started. You see,
the Red Sox can get out of their own way.
The Blue Jays are taking that World Series hangover even
want to call it. They're going the wrong way. And
if I thought the Yankees were better any way to
(20:03):
start the year, why wouldn't I think the Al East
is over. They're gonna run away with it. And yes,
I am trying to jinx it a little bit. But
what the hell is going on with the Masters? What
are we doing here? I mean, guys are getting former
champions are getting booted because they're using their cell phone.
Like does First of all, nothing says elitists quite like golf, right,
(20:24):
I mean, golf is the most elitist sport that there is.
And then on top of that, it's the Masters. It's
like the exclusive elitist of the elite, and now it's
front center. It's been like that for a while. But
when you're kicking out a former champion for using his phone,
what else whatever other stuff that's going on?
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Now?
Speaker 4 (20:39):
This taking them into a dark room, interrogating them with
their tickets? The hell are we doing here?
Speaker 7 (20:45):
If I buy a ticket, don't worry about where I
bought it from or how much I spent. Just let
me into the grounds.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
And by the way, I'm sure it wasn't. I mean, what,
what like? What are we doing here?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Does do you think the Masters wants us to watch?
Even are we allowed to watch? I'm pretty sure they
want us to watch. They don't want anybody near the grounds.
I mean, good god, even if you buy a ticket. Now,
you buy a ticket and you can't be on the ground.
What is this? How is that not a turn off?
I understand that the world is changing in all these
different things, and some people have been certain in sensitive.
I'm not trying to make this political at all, but
(21:20):
I mean, good god, the Masters acts like I don't
want to watch you? How about that? You don't want me?
I don't even want to watch you now? Although I
do like the competition of it. That's the problem that
we have. What is going on here though? Booting people
getting out of let him in? You guys have ever
been in the Master?
Speaker 5 (21:35):
I love the idea of a bunch of no, no, no, STU.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Hasn't hooked you up yet with that. No, I'm just
assuming he has.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
No STU hook us up with something. No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
What do you wait? What's going on here? He's a
big he's a big Masters guy. Never did the show
from there or anything. Has I'm assuming STUW has been
to the Masters, right, do we av?
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (22:03):
Yes he has for sure.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Oh yes, all right, but you guys, haven't you have
any interest of doing that? Like on the bucket list.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
It's on my sports bucket list, but it's not too
high up on the sports bucket list where if I
kick the bucket, tomorrow's out. I wouldn't regret not going
to the Masters.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Same same, I think it would be cool to go,
but I'm like, see, I was the same way even
when I was going to clubs, where if you were
going to clubs when you were younger and you had
to have certain shoes on, I'm like, I don't like
wearing those shoes. I like wearing comfy sneakers. They're nice sneakers,
Like they're clean jeans. Look, I have a button down,
but I gotta wear different types. So any club had that,
(22:40):
I was like, you know what, I don't want to go.
So as much as I would love to experience the Masters,
I know that they don't want me there, So you
know what, screw you, man. I don't want to go, period,
doesn't need to be on my bucket list.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
And it feels like when you go to a golfing event,
you need to have a plan. When I'm going to
a sporting event, the last thing I need is a plan.
I just go on to sit in my seat enjoy
the day. If my plan was, hey, just sit at
the eighteenth green and wait for people. Okay, that's a
little bit better. But then when I'm when I'm thinking
about it's like, am I following this golfer? Am I
following this golfer? Do I want to see this hole?
(23:12):
Do I want to see this whole? It's just too
many variables for a golf event for me.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Great point. I've heard great things about it. I've never
actually been to a golf event. But I'm with you.
If I'm going to watch anything, I'd probably rather sit
at the eighteenth hole, Like why would you why would
you want to do anything? Oh? I saw so and
so tee off. Oh it was great? Yeah, and then
what then would you do?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Well?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
What do you do after that? I want to watch?
I can't even watch them complete the hole. I mean,
I guess you coul follow them. I don't know how
that works. You guys want to get some calls in here?
Do we have any calls? Eight seven, seven nine nine.
On Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six three
six nine, Renato is calling from New York. What's up, Bernado? Renando?
Are you with us?
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Is? I'm with you?
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (23:59):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Rando?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Hey? I said, I love you guys. I fathered you
would beating him sou on the old station. I'd love
to see you doing big things, though.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
I'm not familiar with you talking about but thank you.
You have a sports point, Renaldo, what's on your mind?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Two giants questions? Well, one giant question when Racini questions,
how do you think Joe Shane is going to balance
the draft now that he has to answer the hard bro?
And then why do you think uh Rai's getting just
as much flash?
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Oh thank you for the call, Renando. We get to
lose that and done that. Here's what I would say.
You brought up Joe Shane. Joe Shane's gonna be irrelevant.
Joe Shane had and that's a good thing. If you're
a Giant fan, Joe Shane's irrelevant, you don't want him
anywhere near making any decisions with this draft. Look at
how what he's done. Joe Shane should be fired. He's look,
he has a job. Joe Shane was worse than New
(24:46):
York than I was, and I'm the one out. I
don't know how that happened. Let's go pound for pound up,
put my work up against his. How does that work?
Speaker 5 (24:55):
I don't believe you found Jackson Dart.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I don't think he did either. I was brought.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
I'm able, how fair?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
I don't think you wanted to.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I think back to the Jets draft when Mike Tannenbaum
was the GM and Rex Ryan was the head coach,
and he used to give Rex Ryan a pick in
like the fifth round. Like coach, you pick the player
whoever you want, we're gonna go get him. And he
famously took like John Connor, the full back terminator. I
pictured John Harbaught doing that for Joe Shane. Listen, you
(25:26):
can have some fifth round pick Joe whoever you want. Well,
we'll bring him in and we'll give him a hat
and the whole bit.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
We'll do a jersey. But that's all you're getting.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
That's exactly right. I think Joe Shade at this point,
and I think he's smart. I hope he's smart enough
to understand this. He's fortunate that Horrball kept him wrong.
I'm not saying Joe Shane's a bad guy. What I'm
saying is he's been bad at his job. And usually
in the NFL world, that would lead you, if the
results are bad, that would lead you to be out.
But John Harbor was taking control, so the last name
that I'd bring up would be Joe Sheen as the
(25:55):
perteens to the draft. Here, let's get one more and
Ian is in Fort Lauderdale. Ian, I'm noticing a delay
with the calls.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Is that there is a little bit of delay?
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Okay, it's okay. I'm getting used to this friend. I
are you with us?
Speaker 9 (26:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (26:09):
Salth can you hear me?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
I got you? What's up?
Speaker 11 (26:11):
Be in Hey, Sal's roommate Ian, Taylor's Taylor's buddy.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Roommate in real horrible horrible.
Speaker 11 (26:22):
Oh, I want to talk about you know, Taylor's.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Roommate in I've heard all about you. You can't get
you bring your girlfriend a show off and you're a
butcher in the outfield and come on, pick it up,
my friend.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Listen, listen.
Speaker 11 (26:38):
Taylor is the first one to throw some under the bus.
We had another game on Monday, been here get mentioned
diving play at first base? Uh, Taylor had a diving
play in the outfield and missed it by five feet.
Speaker 9 (26:50):
All went to the wall.
Speaker 11 (26:51):
Don't think that got brought up.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
But well, you know word under the bridge for all
friends here, right?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yes, but h yeah, but you've been from the outfield
to first base. I wouldn't be bragging about a diving
play at first If you're playing first base in softball,
it means you really can't do much else. I'm sorry, Ian,
mm hmm toche.
Speaker 11 (27:11):
But now the real reason I wanted to call in.
I am so sick of watching j c Ascara. I mean, George.
Speaker 12 (27:19):
If George was alive, he would have been DFA three
weeks ago. But what are we doing here watching him
a few times ago in one week coming up to
bat in the in the ninth inning or you know,
big situation and we're leaving him in there? Goldsmid on
the on the bench, wells on the bench last night,
What tell your boy Boonie to figure it out?
Speaker 11 (27:39):
I cannot watch.
Speaker 9 (27:41):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
I will I will get on that.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Ian.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Thank you for the call, and thank you for making
me feel right at home talking about j c Escara
as we do a national show, Like jac Escarra was
an overnight radio topic, I wouldn't even do him on
the midday show, let alone on a national show. You
bring it up, J c Ascara, and maybe that's because
you feel like you modeled your game after him. In uh,
with JC a Scar, you're the Taylor. Is it even
fair to call him the JC Ascar of your softball team?
Speaker 9 (28:06):
No?
Speaker 4 (28:06):
So less he is.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
Right Monday, he redeemed himself big time. Like like going
into Week three or Game three, nobody has questions about
Ian's defense because it seems like we found a home
for him at first base. He did make a great diving.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Catch, okay, I mean what happened with yours?
Speaker 7 (28:25):
So so he tried to throw me under the bus there.
It was one of those balls where you don't really
have much of a chance at it, So I'm just
gonna dive and just see how close I could get
to it. I didn't even come close to touching the ball.
He was right about that.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
But you you probably nobody else will be in the vicinity.
Not that I'm trying to defend you here, but just
from listening to you call yourself, Andrew Jones. You were
former athlete, like you were a legit athlete. I'm assuming
that you had to be. Don't you're not not not
former athlete? I am an athlete. Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Well your former collegiate athlete. Correct? Is that the right
way to say? Correct? Correct? And and now you're currently
(29:01):
participating in rec league softball.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
Yeah, yeah, we're all it too.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Yeah, but I'm not sure I could call you.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
It's a huge fall from grace. Yeah, going from acc
football fields to a softball field in Fort Lauderdale, it's
a drastic one eighty.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
With ian and is he he can't catch? Is he
can't hit?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
You? You were?
Speaker 4 (29:27):
I don't take it back. You were an athlete, a
former athlete.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
Now we we have about four softball players combined on
our roster, and you're two of them.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
Yeah? Right? Really?
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Did he show up his girlfriend show up for his
his sellar performance this time around?
Speaker 7 (29:47):
No, his girlfriend stayed home, and he also had a
Dominican Republic hat. On game one when we got ten
run ruled within fifteen minutes, he left a hat at home.
Week two, he said he has to earn the hat
next time.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Okay, I respect it. I mean I'm using I think.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
I think if he showed up with the Dominican Republic
at Game three, nobody's questioning it.

Hokman or Hawkman? I should know that Hawkman? There you
go with Stugotts and hawk I've seen some of the
clips there. Those two were funny together. All right, let's
get some calls in here before we take the end
of the hour break here an hour already, it's flying by.
I need more. Hey, you think you know on rich Well,
let us get another hour or so. I love those guys,
(31:02):
you know, I used to work. I used to work
with them at at smy and I dressed up with
Covino I think was out. I filled in with with
Rich on their show, Cavino and Rich, and I was
Doctor Evil for the day. And I actually did a
good Doctor Evil. I had mister Biggle's worth with me,
the cat or near Rich. That's not what we're talking about.
It was weird for me. That was like the first
time I started I was in sports. How about New
(31:23):
Rich You're crazy?
Speaker 5 (31:25):
You know?
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Can we say?
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:26):
I don't want to say the world.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
I forget what.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Exactly. I forget what Rich was. It might have been
a forty nine er or something, and it was a
big forty nine Ers fan. Anyway, Cavino Rich coming up next.
I just, you know, two hours, were having so much fun.
I feel like I need a little bit more the
Taylor of my gear. Like, dude, we're getting the hell
out of here. Leave us alone, all right, Let's go
to Larry in Toledo, Ohio. Larry, I have a feeling
you're not gonna be talking about the Giants or Yankees,
and I welcome that what's on your mind, Larry.
Speaker 9 (31:53):
Oh, I'm a big Yankee fan, but I want to
talk about golf for a minute.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Yeah. Please.
Speaker 9 (31:57):
I would want to go to the Masters because those
guys that I'm a terrible golfer, but I just like
to go out and hit the bump. But when you
go to the match, you have to watch and plan
your tip to like three different holes. If you just
sit at the eighteenth green and I gotta see anything
for three hours till the guys come round, but you
got to go like the third tee box, the sixty box,
(32:19):
then you go to the eighteenth. I've been to the
Memorial a couple of times. It's great down.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Here, but by the time but by the time you
get to the eighteenth, then all the seats are going
to be taken, aren't they. Oh he's gone, okay, Well,
thank you, Larry. I can imagine that all the seats
will be wouldn't that be if you get to wait
till the end. He does make a good point. Tail
you were probably wrong on that. You can't just go
(32:43):
sit in the eighteenth hole on the green because then
you're not gonna see any action. But to your point
where it kind of sided with you. You know, people wait
online all sorts of hours to be able to get
things whatever it may be. If you wait till the end,
you're not gonna have a seat on the eighteenth green.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
In hindsight, it would be strange for them to open
the gates and I sprint right to eighteen.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
You watch it on your phone.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Sounds like really miss him. It sounds like a good
place to tie a couple on just waiting. Hey, I
got three hours till somebody gets here.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Well, isn't that what you debuse? I mean, look my
experience with golf, and I'm just like, I'm just being
real with you. My experience was aside from the you know,
like golf Nintendo game was maybe my first experience with it,
and then playing Tiger Woods for EA Sports all those games.
Outside of that, it was Happy Gilmore. I mean, that
was it, so my my vision, and this was before
(33:31):
Tiger became huge. I think it was maybe around the
same time, but Happy Gilmore was what like ninety six
ninety seven, and then Tiger was in the midst of
his runs, all right, the Tiger Slam right around those years,
So maybe it was simultaneous, but simultaneously but like I
want the Happy Gilmour experience. It seems like The Masters
is everything, but which is a part of what made
Happy Gilmore so great. I don't want to go there
(33:53):
and be stiff and watch these guys tee off and
give a little golf clap. What's a golf clap? I mean,
you heard the open to the show. You think I'm
about golf clapping. Come on, man, I'm coming in hot.
Let's go, Let's hit that ball. Let's get you guys
like Happy Gilmore. No, I'm a fan. What about Happy Good?
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (34:13):
The second one, mike Ya, no good. It was a
little too gimmicky. I wouldn't say I loved it, but
it's still the stand man like anything Sandler does, and
it's Happy Gilmores all these years later. Maybe one of
the reason why I didn't love it. And you guys said,
there's too many golfers in it. There's too many real
golfers in it. It was a cameo city in this thing.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
Green Jagon, who gives it?
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Here you go? That's one of my favorites ever. That's
what I say about The Masters. You're right, happy gold jacket,
green jacket jacket, green Jagon who gives it can? Is
there like a league? I know that there's live golf.
Is there like a league? That could be the equivalent
to what the Savannah Bananas is for golf. Then maybe
we'd all be like, hey, they let us in. They
aren't even taking us to these back rooms to penalize
(34:58):
office or I'm allowed to use my cell phone and
this is unbelievable. I could wear shorts if I want,
or dye my hair. I mean, is there can we
get a golf equivalent to that?
Speaker 7 (35:06):
I think the closest thing we have is the waste
open management.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
Yeah, I'm not familiar with this. You want to explain that.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
It's in like Scottsdale, Arizona. It's like a party. I
believe it's the sixteenth hole where if you go on
the green, everybody's just like chucking beers around.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Yeah, that sounds fun. And then what's the other one
that you guys do with Stue? The Lake Tahoe? That's
the uh Tahoe?
Speaker 7 (35:29):
How a celebrity? That one is just awesome because it's
just celebrities and you kind of see Stu Gotts in
his element where I'm going up to people and I
don't really want to ask you to come on the podcast, which,
to Stu Gott's credit, it's not really that great of
a executive producer where I don't really want to go
and ask people if they want to come on the show.
But Stuve Gotts will see Ray vermondo and be like, Ray, buddy,
(35:52):
remember me, we need you on the show, And then
Ray Vermond's like, I don't really want to do this.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
I'm kind of with bold of you, because Stu is
right that it is in fact your job, Like I
was a producer do and I hated it. Oh, Steve Summers,
can you call you know, whoever it may be, whoever
I was producing? Can you call this person that person?
I'm like, yeah, I mean, I guess, but I feel
weird bothering them because I know I wouldn't want to
be bothered. But as a producer, you kind of you
(36:21):
kind of have to do that.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
Your job is to bother people. Yes.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
So, so when we were in Tahoe, a lot of
people would say they were coming on and then just
never show up to the time they scheduled. The best one.
The best one though, was I asked Baker Mayfield, Hey, Baker,
we got a podcast. Do you want to come on?
He just looked at me and goes, no, thanks, You
respect it, You respect it. I've had that happen before,
(36:44):
and it wasn't the likes of Baker Mayfield. It was
producing for Joe Beningo and Evan Roberts Yankee Stadium opening day.
I'm on the field Yankee Stadium, even me, who hated Yankees.
I'm like, wow, this is pretty cool. And I'm down
there with like a Mike and whatever. And the head said, hey, uh,
I think it was Mike Lupica. Hey it was a
writer for the Daily News. Sright, Hey, Mike, you know
Joe Biningo, what ever? Roberts are here from the fan?
You want to come on with them? He's like, no, no,
(37:05):
I'm good.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
Turned down by Mike Lupeka, what at least you got
Baker Mayfield. Now imagine how the I know it wasn't
about me, but that hurt my self esteem. It's why
I gave up producing. Although maybe I should have stuck
to that. I might have still been employed.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
All right.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
More coming up next hour eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox, Salicotta in for Stutgotts.
