Speaker 2 (00:14):
This is the best of Stu Gotson Company Live on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Whatever you want to talk about Wednesday, eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
That is eight seven, seven ninety.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Nine on Fox. We'll get to the Knicks. Joel Embiid
is out for Game two. The Lakers lebron gave a
strong effort last night and they still lost by eighteen
to Oklahoma City. We'll get to that in just a
second as well. But there's a big soccer match. I
know this because I heard it on my way in
(00:47):
and bordot Riccardo has his soccer jersey on. There's aggregate.
One of the teams is leading five to four headed
into the game. We're stealing ideas from soccer and we're
implementing them into US sports. What is the big soccer
match today, Taylor?
Speaker 4 (01:02):
It's a Champions League semifinal Paris Saint Jerma and Bayern Munich.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Ah PSG.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Nailed that.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
What is going on with Chris Simms, who is in London.
He is traveling, he's on vacation. Sims at this soccer game?
Is that where he's at?
Speaker 4 (01:23):
So Sims was at the Arsenal the other semifinal match yesterday,
Arsenal at Lettico Madrid, and Sims was in some kind
of suite at Arsenal at the Emirates, and he was
in a full suit at this suite. Like, sim stop
taking yourself so serious and drop the suit.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Look, buddy, wait, you were just at his house. You're
friends with the family. Now Phil loves you, and now
you're taking shots at Chris.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
What do you do? It's a dangerous game, man, be careful.
He where's a suit?
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
But Si, me and Sims have like this older brother
younger brother relationship where he wants absolutely nothing to do
with me as the older brother, And sometimes I gotta
give him the banter. Like sometimes during football night in America,
he would wear like a mister Roger sweatshirt. I'm like, Sims, man,
you're pretty cool, but that sweatshirt is doing you no favors.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I don't care that he's on vacation. Get him on
the show, Okay, just see if he wants to join us.
I care, well, I don't care if he cares. Just
ask him if he could join.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Us and talk some soccer.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Also, this sweet he was in. Yes, it was a
Who's Who. Yes, Bendict Cumberbat.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Wait, hold on, this is why I want to talk
to him. Is he will now understand why I don't
care it is that he's on vacation. Give us the
rest of the names in that suite.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
It was Benedict Cumberbatch and Sean mcvett.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Jawge's drop.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Yeah, I mean Benedict Cumberbatch. A little surprised that one was.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I don't know who that is.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
I don't know if it's a Who's Who, it's a
it's a who.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Oh at McVeigh right right, that's how sim rolls, and
he rolls wearing a suit. Listen, when you're going to
an event in which you're gonna see very little scoring,
you got to dress.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Up for it.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
It's a roller by Taylor.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I believe he was in an owner's box too, and
that's why he was wearing the suit.
Speaker 8 (03:13):
Wait a second, So you're going on this so you're
going to an old like Chicago Bears, New England Patriots
game in like the mid nineteen eighties, everybody's dressed in
the suit and tie.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
Yeah you're expecting low scoring.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yes, dick a sweater with a shirt at its high underneath.
I mean, imagine if Hallis was coaching that team. I mean,
I mean, he'd be dressed with a ninth parent.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yes, Mikey Jack tel Rio wanted to wear a suit
on every game, probably because he knew he wasn't going
to score the Jaguars.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Is that why pat Riley dressed so well? Because it
was all low scoring in his mind? Yes, yes, it
all makes sense.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Dress for success, I.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Mean low scoring success.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
But defense was success for Riley back then, right, Yeah,
I mean, I guess the game has changed. Let's play this. Uh,
we had weekend observations. We did it on the podcast
on Monday. I'm not getting enough credit around here. No
one is locked into these NBA playoffs more than me. Nobody.
I sixers down three to one to the Celtics. Is
he is so mad at me?
Speaker 7 (04:14):
He was supposed to give you the credit. I mean,
names on the show, you get all the credit.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I mean, listen, you know Taylor likes to send out
clips of Taylor again.
Speaker 7 (04:21):
Yes, you go, that's your fault. You gave him control
of your socials.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Holl onf PSG scored early yep, wow, two minutes into
this game.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
So it's six four or five five six four on aggregate?
Speaker 7 (04:30):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
You like how I knew that?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Huh yeah, I mean you just add one goal.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So, like I was saying, I'm not getting enough credit
around here, one goal because no one is glued and
locked into these NBA playoffs, like I am not. Is
he not Steven A Smith, not Frank is Sola? Nobody?
Sixers down three to one to the Celtics. No one
gave him a shot. I said the Sixers would win
(04:56):
that series. And b comes back and he's healthy and
he's playing great. And then on Monday we did the
wee Can Observations and I said this about joe El embiid,
Joel embiid get some new material? Is he You know
what the e and embiid stands for. No, it stands
for everyone knows. You'll be hurt by game three. Anyway,
(05:22):
why I'm locked in?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Did you record that off of a radio inside of
a car and then replay it for us?
Speaker 7 (05:29):
What was that.
Speaker 9 (05:30):
Sound from a flip phone?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yes, I was underwater.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I don't know how that sounds sent. I'm playing it
on my phone right now, and it sounds completely normal.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
That's exactly what I remember talk radio is sounding like
in nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yes, is that Iowa Sam being the d boy yet again?
I mean defense against an offense?
Speaker 10 (05:54):
So yeah, quality sounded like he was fifteen years old.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Sounds good on Taylor's phone, though, I.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Should I play it for my phone?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah? Yes, do it?
Speaker 7 (06:05):
Do it from your phone on the on the my
trail sounds great.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Busy. You know what the E and embeid stands for.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
It stands for everyone knows you'll be hurt by game
three anyway.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Nailed it now, but still good.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I was Sam. Let's hear yours again? Please, if you
don't mind, just one more time, give.
Speaker 9 (06:25):
Some new material.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Izzy. You know what the E and embeid stands for.
Speaker 11 (06:31):
It stands for everyone knows you'll be hurt.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
By game three?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Anyway?
Speaker 9 (06:36):
Is he on a car phone?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I'm like three car phones and I'm submarine.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Let's go to Izzy from a my goodness.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
And here comes Red Grange down the sideline.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
That guy wears a suit. I mean.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
That's like when you send somebody a picture and in
your phone it's glorious, and on their phone it's like
this little one centimeter by one centimeter box.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
It's like, oh man, something's wrong with your phone.
Speaker 10 (07:02):
I think that's an iPhone to a non iPhone transaction.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Do we know the problem?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
So, Izzy, the Knicks have Game two tonight at Madison
Square Garden. I love Game twos because you're going to
see the teams.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
That are desperate.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Tonight, Philadelphia is still without EMBIID is going to be
a very desperate team. I imagine that game is going
to be a lot closer than Game one was. And
then you have San Antonio later on, also a desperate
team because.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
They need to get a victory here. They don't want
to go down too.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Why are you laughing?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
We're finally talking NBA.
Speaker 12 (07:32):
Playoffs for you cracking up because you say I love
Game twos, and I was like, this is something I
didn't know about. I love a game, so I wanted
to go grab a pen right about that down, which
is another STU Gods move, and I don't have a pen,
and both of those things just made me laugh to
I have.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Your pen, it's right here. But I do love Game twos. Dealers, well,
we tend to get carried away in these series. We
discussed this a little bit yesterday, where the Knicks win
big in Game one and we think our Like I
told Taylor today, I'm terrified of the Pistons and I
shouldn't be thinking about the Eastern Conference finals because we're
not done with Philadelphia yet. And so you have these
(08:10):
teams who are desperate. They don't want to go down
oh two, especially the Spurs. That's going to be interesting
because you can't go down two headed back to Minnesota.
But this is going to be interesting tonight. I do
think the Sixers will keep it very close and hopefully
the next will win.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
I'm with Izzy here though, on you saying you love
Game two. It's not game rank games one through seven
right now.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Okay, Game two best two words in sports.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Come on, seven's gotta be won.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
We will go seven as number one.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
So game seven, that's the Andy Petnitt game.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Game two, Yes, yeah, thank you, it's a big game.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Game two is an underrated game, I'm telling you. But
how under it in terms of importance? Well, the series,
both series could.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Be over tonight. I mean technically, if the Knicks win,
it hasn't started. No, and Minnesota already started. They want
to roun talking through these looks.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yes, you got so. Game seven is number one on
my list.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Okay, that's how I do it. I just keep talking,
so hopefully someone forgets Mikey. Game seven is number one
on my list.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Game two is number two.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Yeah, bigger than Game six.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Much bigger than Game six. All right, Game two sets
the tone for the rest of the series. Okay, it's
a tone center. So Game two is my second favorite.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
And then I love and man do I love a
big Game four?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Wow, i'd Game five there?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Really really?
Speaker 7 (09:37):
Game four is not really that. Game five classically pivotal,
plastically pivotal.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yes, some would say it's not so.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Game four was three, Game.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Four is three, Game five is four, Game six is five.
How many games left.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Do I have?
Speaker 7 (09:56):
You've got one?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
So game one is the least important, least Game three
is the second at least important.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Yes, so we go seven, two, four, five, six three one.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Now then, so game one is the least important.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
But there's something that happens from game one to game
two where the series can be designed.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Oh, the whole series could be shifted tonight, I'm telling you.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
But it also might not start.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Might be over.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I mean, listen, tell me right now, if the Timberwolves
win tonight, that series isn't over.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
It's over, right yeah, and it will have started twice.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Correct now you're getting it. Yes, we're not able.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
To read anything today because I'm crying with laughter.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Now. If the Knicks win Game two, the series isn't over.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
It just hasn't started yet, right right, But it's close
to being over.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
I think so, I hope so, I hope everybody gets it.
I just know I didn't realize that Game two was
the second most beloved phrase in sports. Yes, it is
funny with Joel embiid. I was actually thinking about this
before I heard him, man, I was before I heard
that he was out.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
I think they'd be better off without him in.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
A in a not for the series, right, but in
a let's just play free game two right where Okay, yeah,
we need to steal one eventually from New York, but
maybe this isn't the one Joel's not and their defense
just becomes better because they don't have Joel. In a
sort of lazy drop coverage seventy five percent of the time.
(11:27):
And you know, if you tell VJ. Edgecomb, hey, you
got more responsibility. Now we've seen that he can turn
that into a forty burger, and so I think you know,
not to say again, not for the series, but for
this game too, it might have been a slightly better.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
Off without doing a game too.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Is he this This game too feels like it's it's
two sides of a coin, where one side is mbats
sitting tonight feels like a punk game two. Let him
beat Rest as much as possible, get him back in Philadelphia.
Series still hasn't started. The other side of that coin,
The TM tyres Maxie stands for a trap game fifty
point game he did to get.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
The Celtics right. That was without Embid, and that was
in Boston.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, this is what I worry about. I mean, I
would rather Embid play at this point. I'm so tired
of that guy with the tickets and don't let Nick
fans buy the tickets at Philadelphia and then you're not
playing by game two, I mean just enough out of
hit a big game two.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Who misses a big game two? I mean nobody?
Speaker 7 (12:23):
I mean, you know how big it is.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Yeah, it was strange how defiant Joel Embiid was with
like the ticket thing in Philadelphia, where he was like,
if you need money, I got you. But we really
haven't gotten any follow ups since then. Like if a
Philadelphia fan had an offer for five hundred dollars to
sell their tickets to a Knicks fan and they chose
not to because Joel Embiid said, I'll just give you
the money instead. Joel Embiid kind of feels like he's
(12:48):
he's liable for that five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Now, Well, I don't know if he feels like that,
but perhaps an attorney will feel like that.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Carl Douglas, there's just no way the message will get
to him. That's how he'll be free of it. So nobody.
It never actually reached me. It reached my agent, but
it didn't reach me.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Right, If you sell your tickets Philly, I don't blame you.
You were expect you bought him expecting to see Joel Embiid,
and of course he's not going to show up because
he never shows up.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
But also, if I was Joel Embid in that moment,
I'd be feeling pretty good about myself. Like, I just
beat the Celtics team that was supposed to, by most
people's measure, make it to the finals. And now we've
got this NIXT team that's, yeah, feeling itself because it
beat the Hawks.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
But I think I'd be talking my stuff too if
I was Joel it was.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Their super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
You're right, I mean, I can't disagree with you on that.
I am terrified of Oklahoma City. And this is what happens, Okay,
when you blow out, you have a big blowout in
game one, you start thinking about the Pistons in the
Eastern Conference Finals, and then you start thinking about, Hey,
what am I doing all this for?
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Why am I staying up so late? Why am I
getting so emotional?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Because Lebron James gave you the game that he wanted, Okay,
that you wanted if you're a Laker fan. A great
game last night by Lebron, still lost by eighteen, and
Shay didn't play that well. And so I'm terrified of
Oklahoma City because now I'm thinking about the NBA Finals.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Well, I mean, I mean, this is what it's disappointing, right,
It's disappointing that Luca can't play because this would have
been so much better. It would have been so great
to see Luca ahead of the Snake versus SGA, like
bang bang one versus the other, which one's going to
dominate or which one's gonna come out on top. And
you know, based on that first game, it looked like, yeah,
if Luca was there, the Lakers actually.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Have a chance here.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
And again, you know the old David Stern line, I
want to see the Lakers versus the Lakers and the
finals every years.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
That's what's best for the NBA.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Like that would have been amazing, but instead it's more
than likely going to be okay. See, I don't know
if you saw this, but Luca talked about his injury
and one of the things he said is that when
he first got checked out, the doctor said, yeah, eight weeks,
and so this would be five weeks.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
And so it's not looking good.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Like if he plays late in this series, it's going
to be probably you know, with a shot in his
hammy and not feeling much of anything and really won't
be able to play for much longer.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Stull, you're seeing the problem with this Thunder team in
terms of going forward in the NBA, where they've collected
so many assets that when they're in their championship window
very clearly right now, they could very easily flip a
first round pick for somebody who who is a surplus
on another team and becomes a luxury for them. Like
(15:14):
they got Jared McCain to be, what is he their
tenth eleventh guy on their bench, and Jared McCain can
come in and score double digit points on almost any
given night. When when he was on the Sixers before
he got that injury, Jared McCain looked like he could
have been the rookie of the year.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
They have so many quality players that they can adjust
the rotation on any given night and it won't lose
much of anything. Like the guys will step in and
do whatever's needed of them. But to your point, it
does sort of make me feel like there's something that
can happen this postseason that can quote unquote like I'm
being hyperbolic here, but save the NBA at least as
(15:50):
far as not being back to back years for OKC
and maybe not being Wemby's, you know, start of the
dominance that people are gonna get bored with. There's a
little something that I think can happen this year that
might change all that, but I don't want to talk
about that yet.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
We gotta go to break.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Really, that's what we call tea's in the business.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
It's a great teas. Unfortunately, we have a graduation speech
for playing next.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
Oh really yeah, Well, sometime in the show you'll get
my answer.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Okay, it's the rare teas in the first segment, for
the last segment of the first hour.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
How about that? All right? You give it that, Chess Chess.
Speaker 2 (16:24):

Kate against Truce on the right wing, k to the
basket jumps it off for JD another jam, Yes Baby, Hey,
that combination has been so good for so long for
the Pistons.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
Jav Bickerstaf says, don't shoot it.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
I would have.
Speaker 13 (17:12):
And eighteen to eight clothes for the Pistons. After the
Cleveland Cavaliers had tied the score at ninety three, with
five and twenty eight to go in the game.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
I would argue to play the day was the star
Thompson's chase down block. But who am I to argue
with Ti Rag And now.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
They have, of course, a pivotal game two coming up tomorrow, yute.
I mean, you can't lose that one if you're the Cavs.
James Harden, please, he's so bad.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
How many turnovers for Harden last night?
Speaker 9 (17:44):
Eight?
Speaker 3 (17:45):
I think it was eight. He's terrible.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I marvel before we get to Dan Byer in a
graduation speech that I did. I marvel. We have guest
bookers here, and I always marvel at who Taylor is
going to say yes to and who he's going to
say no to, because I really left it up to Taylor.
At this point, Bob Chesney is going to join us
at four thirty today, the UCLA head coach, and the
(18:07):
timing is good football, yes, because of the expanded Well,
we all know mc cronin as a basketball coach.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Well, I was just thinking of any sports it's in season.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yes, well, the timing's good because of the expanded college
football playoff that's being proposed. But I am wondering why
you were so quick to respond yes to Bob Chesney.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
So in sports, sometimes a line in the sand is
drawn and you have to pick a side. We clearly
have to pick a side in the battle for La
Ucla versus USC and this show. I will not allow
this show to be a pro Lincoln Riley show. That
fraud over there in Lincoln Riley. The twenty four team
(18:47):
playoff was made for Lincoln Riley, Yes it was.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
He's the one pushing for it because he's never in it.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
So I did not know I would have to be
picking a side in this line in the sand today,
But I guess it's chosen for me, right, We're all brilliant.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Okay, thike you okay with that? I mean I don't know.
I like the Trojans.
Speaker 9 (19:07):
I mean I kind of like you. I see. Maybe
I don't love Lincoln Riley, but I like you.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
We'll give Chesney a chance to win us over. How
about that.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
I'm open for that.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Yes, any ways, do the answer is seven?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
To what turnover?
Speaker 7 (19:22):
He was going to ask he stakes.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yesterday we had Christopher mad Dog Russo. We talked about graduation.
I'm going up to graduation. Man, it goes quick. I
am going up to a graduation this weekend from one
of my daughters at Syracuse University, the Kees.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Yeap, looking forward to that. The Orange uh huh.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
And we talked about commencement speeches and the fact that
Dog has never given one. I would pay to see
Dog give one. I've never given one, which is not
the truth, because I realized that I did after we
spoke with with Christopher Dog.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
We'res so.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
So I am going to play a commencement speech that
I did for the Stugat School of frodcasting many years ago,
since it's graduation season. But I was thinking, is he
about a top five lest yesterday?
Speaker 9 (20:13):
Last night?
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Today?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Top five people in sports whose parents, if they were
huge fans of all things graduations.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
What their names would be?
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Love, pomp, and circumstance.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
It's just a bridge into the speech, that's all it is.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Okay, a speech that you did years ago.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I did a few years ago. But it's a laugh
out loud funny. I think the audience will enjoy it.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
No, I remember it. I just thought you're doing a
new one.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I have an oli. I'm not doing a new one.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
No, okay, ever again that's a bridge too fun Iowa.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Sam just asked if I wanted pomp and circumstance, and yes,
I did, all right, ol I Caleb gowns number five,
Brian Scala, Victorian scal number four, Matt Tasselback, that's a
(21:08):
good one. To number three Javail degree's a great number
two John A Speechee.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
Speech that.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
Was definitely a job of Metia. Bit a bit of
a reach, but still hilarious at the same.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Time, speechy speech and number one grad mccakey.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Grand penny, oh grad penny.
Speaker 9 (21:44):
Damn it.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
So with that said, years ago, me and Dan stands
It collaborated, and then years later we would collaborate on
a book. He thought I would write more of it
because I wrote this speech.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
I didn't. I handed it over to Dan.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Let's play my graduation speech for the class of I
think twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Perhaps from the Connecticut School of Broadcasting.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Listen up, students, Faculty parents, grandparents, and sponsors, especially the
sponsors TISA, the official watch to the NBA, that beautiful
Spaulding Game Day Leather, and ZIP Recruiter the smartest way
(22:41):
to hire graduates. Zip Recruiter will hire the producers, guest bookers,
and researchers.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
That will make your jobs even easier. Today is the
day which will live.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
In infamy for graduates of Syracuse and north Western Great
moments are born from great opportunity, and that's what you
have here.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
That's what you've earned here.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
If we debated them ten times, they might win nine,
but not anymore. Today we interrupt that. Today we clash
with that, and we shut them down because we can.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Today.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
You are the greatest broadcasters in the world. You were
born to be broadcasters, every.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
One of you.
Speaker 9 (23:37):
This is your time.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Their time is done.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
It's over.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I'm sick and tired of hearing about what great broadcast
schools the ivys have screw up. This is your time.
I had a dream many years ago. I had a
dream that my two teenage children will one day live
in a nation where they will not be judged by
the color of their skin, but by the content of
(24:05):
the paycheck. Their father's character receives. I knew it wouldn't
be easy to transform sports media, but take it from me,
you miss one hundred.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Percent of the takes.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
You don't steal from Greenie, Cowhard and Pablo. I mean,
I've missed more than nine thousand pronunciations in my career.
I've lost almost three hundred debates, twenty six todds. I've
been trusted to make the segment ending joke and misheard
what was said.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
In my year.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I have failed.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Over and over and over.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Again in my life, and that is why I succeed.
Always remember what you learned on your first day here.
Speak loudly and carry a big stick.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
You'll go farm.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
To my many detractors, I asked, do you want the truth?
Because most traditional reporters can't handle the truth. We live
in a world that has paywalls, and those paywalls have
to be guarded by men with journalism degrees.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Who's going to do it?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
You, Lieutenant Oban, I have a greater responsibility than you
could possibly fabil. You week for newspapers and you curse
the blogs and podcasts.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
You have that luxury.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
You have the luxury of not knowing what I know
that the death of newspapers, while tragic, probably created better content.
And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Creates better content. How is this that you don't want
the truth?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Because deep down in places you don't talk about in
press boxes, you want me on that radio.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
You need me on that radio.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
You use things like stats, sources and postgame quotes. You
use those things as the backbone of a life's that's
defending something. I use them as a punchline.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
I have neither the.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Time nor the inclination to explain myself to everyone who
rides and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom
that I provide, and then questions the matter in which
I provide it. I'd rather they just say thank you
and went.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
On their way.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Otherwise, I suggest they borrow someone else's takes and mail
it a podcast. Either way, I don't give a damn
what they think they are entitled to. My fellow broadcasters,
ask not what your alma mater could do for you,
Ask what you can do for your alma mater. And
(26:42):
what you could do is send yearly donations. Better make
it monthly donations. If you want to make them weekly,
that's fine. Just make them out to my name, keep
the cast flow coming, the bucks stops here at my desk,
and speaking up the bucks must in game game five tonight.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
And so you.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Don't have to pronounce his name, as I taught you, remember,
just call him the Greek free. In less than an hour,
you will join others from around the world, and you
will be launching the largest vocal battle on traditional journalism
in the history of mankind. Journalism. That word should have
(27:24):
new meaning for all of us today. We can't be
consumed by our petty differences anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
We will be united in our common interest.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Perhaps it's faith that today is graduation day and you will.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Be set out into the world.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
So fight people with frame diplomas at stack resumes. We
will be fighting for our right to not work hard,
to have no credibility, and still be able to land
at the same network as Bob Lee. And should we
win the day, graduation day will no longer be known
(28:05):
as the day of accomplishment, but as a day other
parents realize they have wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars,
and a day that we the underachievers, declared in one voice,
we will not watch the game at night. We may
or may not watch the big fips. We're going to
(28:27):
live on without facts. We're going to survive without reading.
Today we celebrate your graduation day.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
Somewhere like it's a little bit commencement speeds, a little
bit acceptance speech, a.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
Little bit closing argument, a bent.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Defiant, so very self serving.
Speaker 7 (28:54):
Really went Caleb gowns over, Karl Anthony gowns.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
You're stuck on that?
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Really, there was so much to break down in that
in that commencement speech.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Yeah, I was ahead of my time. Listen man foreshadowing,
how about that?
Speaker 4 (29:08):
My favorite was the appearance we got from Martin Luther
ding Dong junior.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
STU.
Speaker 10 (29:15):
Could I jump in and offer some observations on this?
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Oh? Please do?
Speaker 10 (29:19):
I felt I felt a little Teddy Roosevelt in there.
I felt a little few good men, and I felt
a lot of definitely at the end of Thomas J. Whittmore,
President of the United States, played by Bill Pullman in
Independence Day, I have.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
No idea what you're speaking.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (29:34):
I just did you get any of that? I don't see.
I didn't I.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
Didn't see to get anything. Were listening while we were
listening to the speech.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Are you claiming that I plagiarized my speech.
Speaker 10 (29:46):
Is that what you're No, I think you're just borrowing
some spices, maybe from several popular speeches from movies that Ture.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
We need him on this radio. We want him on
this radio. There's no way it was plagiarized.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Half of it was about him. You notice that, Dad.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Also, the act of stealing takes is encouraged.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Yeah. Always, yes, I mean as a fellow graduate. Yes, Steel,
mind Steel, Taylor's.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Graduated on the top of my class.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
You're my prize student.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
He also could have gone Matt Tassel instead of Tassel
back because Tassel would have worked as well with Castle.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Hey, Stefan, how about you make a list? Uh?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company
live weekdays at three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I am told by Iowa Sam that we have like
eighteen minutes to take phone calls whatever you want to
talk about Wednesday eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
So Whizzy.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I want to see if I'm following you correctly down
this Anthony Edwards path, because I believe that.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
You're talking about Ricardo's haircut.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
You are obsessed with Ricardo's He looks great.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I mean, yes, this is the best bordout Ricardo was
look since we started.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
Well, usually wears a hat, so you can tell he's
really proud of this. But the thing I love about
this haircut that it's not only like pristine like twenty
twenty six can walk anywhere with that haircut, but he
also looks like he could be starring in like a
Grease musical and like just fall into like the nineteen
fifties perfectly, because it's like perfectly like I would say
Sean Sherania would be proud of this.
Speaker 7 (31:25):
Haircut, like that's how good this haircut is.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
And Stu, he's.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Wearing a soccer kit as they call, not a soccer jersey,
a soccer kit. Yes, and it has the collar. It's
a French jersey. The collar on his kit.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
It's a France kit.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Yeah. Yeah, it looks like like photo day here at
Fox Sports Radio right now.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
It's like a real collar and everything.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Wait a second, Ricardo, did you get a haircut for
the big soccer game today? I mean, well, it is
the semi final studot, so I had to look good.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
Yes, it would have no comment to that trust for
the job you want.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
And we all know the semi finals more important than
the final, right, I mean.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
This is the finals pretty much?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Oh, it is really the finals before the final. Huh.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
It's the rare Champions League semi final. That's the Champions
League final.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
Kind of like Arizona Michigan in the final four.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
People are just discounting Arsenal, do they?
Speaker 3 (32:19):
So that's the team that's in the final.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Declan Rice, yep, Arsenal did, and they have no.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Shot regardless of who makes it through to the finals.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
They should, but Arsenal's main focus right now is on
the Premier League, which they haven't won in quite some time.
So it's it's kind of like a pick your poison
for this Arsenal team where they're probably focusing all their
attention on. It's the rare team that's in the Champions
League final that might have their eyes elsewhere.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
But isn't Declan Rice having such a good season that
they're even talking about them about, you know, winning the
ball or whatever the balloon.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
So I'm gonna be honest with you guys right here,
in a moment of transparency, we're so far into this
soccer talk right now, that I don't even know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Well, that's a problem with soccer. There too many leagues.
Everyone's confused.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
You're telling me there's a semi final that happens, it's
a final before a final. It's a league, it's a
different league. There's this league, that league, the World Cup.
It's all confusing.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
I love that, though, Tayto's like, please, no more questions, please.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
I don't know anything.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
No one does. I mean, the players have no idea
what league they're playing in.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Ricardo asked me who I thought was gonna win, and
I essentially told him the German League.
Speaker 9 (33:27):
Do you think it's going to win the Super Bowl?
And I said the NFL.
Speaker 7 (33:32):
Tip of the cap.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
We'll get to your calls here at a second, eight
seven seven ninety nine one Fox. So if Anthony Edward
can beat San Antonio right now, he's back and he's
coming off the bench, Edwards, and perhaps he'll start moving forward.
But that creates a storyline for the NBA with wem beat.
Right has to come back, has to work harder, has
to do it better, has to be better. Right has
to make that climb. Then goes on to beat Oklahoma City,
(33:55):
which makes everyone happy because Oklahoma City does not win
back to back NBA Apians championships because no one wants
that team as an NBA dynast.
Speaker 7 (34:04):
And I would say even greater.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
It would be a victory for ethical hoops, right because
it's not you know, asking for fout, begging for fouls
and all this stuff. It's just I'm Anthony Edwards. I
can get a shot off whenever I want to, and
I'm ridiculously clutched.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
And here's the other thing.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
So the Knicks, who I have already in the NBA Finals,
Nick fans would love that he'd get a standing ovation
because the Knicks are now facing a Timberwolf's team that
Nick fans feel like they could beat as opposed to
Oklahoma City, where Nick fans are like.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Hey, we have no shot.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
So I think if this all plays out, you're right,
he saves the NBA and the Knicks win in five,
and he gets Finals MVP.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
Like, imagine, imagine how star studded Madison Square Garden is
going to be for an NBA Finals, and yet Anthony
Edwards would emerge as the biggest star right there because
of his performance. I mean, and he's just his look
I should hate Anthony Edwards. Anthony Edwards did the thing
where he was like, saw a line of you know,
gay men a thing and said, oh, what is this
(35:03):
world coming to and decided to post that on the Internet.
I should hate the guy, yes, but I see him
as a young guy with a lot to learn and
a very willingness to write. I think he has that
ability to and he's just always going to be himself.
He's going to be very personable, but always be true
to himself. And I think he's impossible not to like.
(35:24):
And so if he just not only with his style
of play, but with his personality comes out on top
after you know what we've been saying, Oh it's Jokers year,
Oh it's Shay's year, Oh it's Wemby's year, and it's
Anthony Edwards out of this sixth seed with a bunch
of defenders around him.
Speaker 7 (35:39):
That I mean, that would do so much for him.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
What is he just did there, by the way, is
make it impossible for you to dislike Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 9 (35:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (35:47):
Yeah, basically because he was right.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
If any is wired to dislike Anthony Edwards, it would
be as real goodyer as And he's telling you he
likes him, Go ahead tell it and it.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
Would be a very star studed event in Madison Square Garden.
There was another met Gala then then Ben Stiller would miss.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
It that phony.
Speaker 7 (36:04):
I mean, I just don't understand the met Galle to
be honest.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
Like, first of all, it's like the Tour de France
to me, it comes around every year and I'm like, oh,
I didn't know it was that sneaks up on now, Yeah, it.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
Definitely sneaks up on you. And then it's just like
I don't, can't, I don't.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
I mean, it's a fundraiser, but it's really just so
you can be seen in these clothes.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
Dude. You guys are rich. You can be seen in
these clothes whenever you want. Just put it on. Just
put it on, and then put it on social same thing.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
I gotta tell you, man, I see, uh, I see
all these celebrities at the Derby.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
I want to go. I'm not big, you know, horse
racing it's dead.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
I'm not big, but I am big on partying, and
that just looks like a massive party.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Man.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
I think that's the Preakness.
Speaker 14 (36:41):
No, no, I think it was definitely the Derby party,
all of them well, the derby is where Tom Brady
was falling down drunk right, and where Wes Welker was
supposedly on Molly and was handing out allegedly.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
Yes, I'm sorry, allegedly not supposedly, I'm really I'm very thankful.
By the way, speaking of a sort of tailor situation
like don'ts any more soccer questions, there was a caller
and the subject line set Pelicans head coach search, and
I got nothing on it, and so thankfully that person
has fallen off.
Speaker 7 (37:08):
But maybe we should take one of these others.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Yeah, the caller high dropped. Let's go out to uh Mark.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Who's in Miami today, Marco Ahead, you're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
What's up? Pillas.
Speaker 15 (37:19):
I agree with your sentiment, SGA. As great as he is,
he doesn't.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Have to do it.
Speaker 15 (37:24):
But I blame the rest more because if they're going
to fall for that bait of foul baiting, he's going
to do it every time. And your skills in and
great as he is offensively, and he's probably as good
as anybody in the league right now inside a KD,
he can sell that call. So I blame the rest
more than that. I just I just really hope they
get taken out. And I agree with you on at Man.
(37:44):
I just love the way how unfiltered and raw he is.
Sometimes they'll get him in trouble, but the guy's so
damn entertaining. But another guy I really enjoys, Cake Cunningham.
Maybe he's not as flashy as ant Man, but I
think overall game you can make a You can make
a strong argument that he's better than a man. It's
just that he's not as flashy, and he doesn't he's
not as unfiltered or raw, but he doesn't flop do anything.
(38:07):
He's just an ultimate gamer. He's just every single play.
I just love it. As a Nick fit and excuse
me as a Heath fan who hates the Knicks, I
would I really Brunton does that at times. But I
just love way his bulldog mentality being an undersized guard,
the way he attacks and just goes that guy's and
and and the way he just his ultimate will of
being a second round guy who was expected to be
(38:30):
a ninth or tenth guy off the bench. I mean,
I can't believe I'm saying this as a Heathan about
the Knicks, but I really enjoy watching them there, they're
kind of interest stating cact even though he's off the wall.
When he gets going man and that mecha the garden's rocking,
it'd be entertaining. So I just I just think the
sentiment to okay, see. As great as they are, I
just I don't think a lot of people enjoy them
(38:51):
at all, and it would be hopefully I'm hoping whoever
it is at Man, preferably even the Spurs to somebody
take them out because with this new CBA, and I'm
just hoping they're going to lose a lot of their
guys in their dynasty is not going to be attacked.
So I think they're gonna start losing some guys starting
this year because they've already maxed out Sea, Dalen Williams
and h another. So it's gonna be great to watch
(39:12):
things from tillis all right?
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Thank you, Mark, call again, please whenever you want, about
whatever you want. This is why I came back to
sports radio out of it. There are different types of callers.
Mark is the type of caller who calls in and
just does whatever the hell he wants. I mean, the
show that he wants to do, that's the show. And
I said, Hey, it's whatever you want Wednesday, so you
can talk about whatever you want. But Mark, I'm telling
(39:34):
you you could do that on a Thursday, Friday, of
Monday and Tuesday whenever you want.
Speaker 14 (39:38):
Okay, You're always whatever you want, apparently for how long
you want.
Speaker 7 (39:41):
Yeah, I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yes, he was doing his show.
Speaker 6 (39:44):
He mentioned Kid Cunningham and I thought, you know, in
terms of like the potential finals opponent for Anthony Edwards,
it would very much be like the the Michael Jordan
path of having to get over the tough defensive Pistons
team with the all world point guard.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
Now it's I can tell you of someone who watched
his first Pistons game last night.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Kate cutting him is good.
Speaker 7 (40:05):
That was your first game last night?
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Duran in the post, I am terrified of the Pistons.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
I want nothing. Let's go Calves now the Pistons.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
For me, we have the close your eyes test where
I asked you guys to close your eyes and imagine something. Yeah,
the Pistons don't pass the close your eyes test because
close your eyes and imagine Tobias Harris as the second
option for a title team.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
You can't.
Speaker 6 (40:29):
My eyes were wide open. And I couldn't believe what
he was doing in the first round. Yeah, okay, because
he was actually being the guy and doing it well.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Yes, Mikey, since Taylor likes.
Speaker 9 (40:38):
To bring up all his takes, that he was right.
I believe the Knicks didn't pass to close your eyes
test when we did that.
Speaker 7 (40:45):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
Yeah, that is no, the Knicks didn't.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
No, So the close your eyes test for the Knicks
was close your eyes and imagine Karl Anthony Town's winning
a title.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Yes, well, now close, Well he's on the neck. Has
anything changed? Try again? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (40:58):
You know what, in the spirit of accountability, when I
close my eyes, I could kind of pitch your cat.
I could see the thirty two in the outline of him.
His face isn't filled in yet, but we're starting to
get that picture.
Speaker 7 (41:12):
I can't believe he was in Devilware is product too.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
You know the take he never reminds you of, mikeyya
that he hates this Yankee team and they've won seventeen.
Speaker 7 (41:20):
I believe least favorite, not hate.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
It's my least favorite.
Speaker 7 (41:24):
Yes, they won seventeen of nineteen.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
Listen, all the fathers out there know you have a
least favorite kid. If you have more than one kid,
you have a least favorite kid. Doesn't mean you love
that kid any less, but you have a least favorite
I don't.
Speaker 9 (41:38):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (41:38):
This is like when your least favorite kid. He's succeeding
really well, but the sport is like badminton.
Speaker 9 (41:44):
This kid, I know.

you're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 11 (42:38):
Hey guys, loving the show. When I watched the Kentucky Derby.
My wife and I used to watch the Kentucky Derby
and we'd always have a private vet between the two
of us and we'd pick a horse.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (42:53):
She died three years ago, and I still watch the
Kentucky Derby and I still pick a horse fear. I
watched and I picked Great White, and I looked up
at the heavens. I said, okay, honey, you know and uh,
all of a sudden, I see on the TV. I
went and got a drink and I'd come back and
(43:15):
it's like my horse flipped over and knocked the jack
you off and they scratched him. And I'm like, out
of all those horses, I picked the one that decided
to have an attitude adjustment.
Speaker 7 (43:30):
That was your wife's making sure you didn't win.
Speaker 5 (43:32):
Yes, exactly right, because our private bet was if she won,
she had to make love to me and if I
made if I won, I had to make love to her.
Speaker 9 (43:48):
When when what.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
I am going to try? Yes, I'm going to try
it tonight. What's the horse Rades basketball game?
Speaker 3 (44:00):
I no, No, I.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
Don't care what the bet is I'll lose That was
such a great line by is he that is your wife,
even in the afterlife, still getting the best of you.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
I just let you have it. Eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. That is eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox.
Speaker 7 (44:20):
Yes, no, I just had something to read if you
want me to.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Oh no, I thought we had five more minutes here.
I mean I was saying, we don't know any time. No,
we have time for calls. I mean they're wide over
lines right now. I just cleared them out eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. That is eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. Because of course, we are killing
time here until we try until Bob Chesney joins us
and tries to convert us all to UCLA brewin football fans.
Speaker 7 (44:43):
Are we sure he's not related to Kenny Chesney? I
have no idea, should be the first question?
Speaker 3 (44:47):
Or well, probably probably not. I think Kenny Chesney might
be joining us on the show.
Speaker 7 (44:51):
Actually, really, how about that?
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Yeah, he's got a concert, he's got some uh, he's
got a residency at the Sphere. He also just wrote
a book, and he's been on with several times before.
Speaker 4 (45:01):
What we need is a podcast with Bob Chesney and
Kenny Chesney and it's called a couple of Chesney's.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
What else would you call it?
Speaker 4 (45:10):
I don't know what they would talk about, but I'd
listen at least of the first episode.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
All Right, Taylor wants to play a game of one table,
So Iowa, Sam DePoy, get that music ready please.
Speaker 2 (45:22):
There's one table left at the hottest spot in town,
and everybody wants it. Who's getting it and who's getting
left outside? Greatness gets seated, everyone else waits. This is
one table.
Speaker 7 (45:40):
That sounds like Sam? Was that?
Speaker 15 (45:41):
Sam?
Speaker 4 (45:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (45:42):
No? We played this game earlier today with t Bob
from Barstool.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
Check it out on Stecott's company, The show we do
before the show.
Speaker 6 (45:50):
Thank you so much for making this a restaurant with
one table left instead of a restaurant with just one table.
Speaker 9 (45:59):
It's a terrible bit his model.
Speaker 4 (46:01):
Go ahead, Dylan, So this one is tough. The tables
in South ben Indiana Wow. And in walks Marcus Freeman yep.
And in walks Mike.
Speaker 7 (46:14):
Golick ooh Senior.
Speaker 3 (46:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (46:17):
Notre Dame's first family.
Speaker 1 (46:20):
So it's Marcus Freeman, the coach who hasn't won a
national championship.
Speaker 7 (46:24):
Yeah, hasn't really figured out his.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
Hair against Mike Golick, who I don't think won a
national championship when he was at Notre Dame's hair looks great,
but he is part of the first family of.
Speaker 4 (46:34):
Notre Dame Iconic Sports show.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
In fact, I'm guessing Golick had you know, a voice
when they hired Marcus Freeman. It made that decision, yes,
and Freeman should get gold at the table.
Speaker 9 (46:46):
Out of respect.
Speaker 3 (46:48):
But Golick, being the nice guy that he is, would
give Marcus to the table.
Speaker 7 (46:50):
This is a tough one.
Speaker 6 (46:51):
This is very tough because, like I'm imagining who would
be more okay standing outside?
Speaker 7 (46:57):
Like who would look more just okay with it?
Speaker 6 (47:00):
And I'm sorry, but I don't see Marcus Freeman standing
outside in the cold waiting, you know what I mean?
Like everybody in South Bend would be like, what's wrong
with that restaurant?
Speaker 9 (47:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (47:08):
Versus if golic was outside waiting, he would be like, oh,
what a nice guy.
Speaker 7 (47:12):
He probably lets somebody else eat in front of him.
Speaker 4 (47:14):
Yes, and Freeman is not waiting outside if it's raining,
because half his hair wouldn't get washed away.
Speaker 3 (47:18):
That's right. Yes, So Marcus Freeman. We all agree he
would get the table.
Speaker 9 (47:24):
I love Mike, but there's no chance.
Speaker 6 (47:26):
There's no chance that's not Marcus mum table.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
Yes, do you have another? Because I have one?
Speaker 4 (47:31):
I heard, Yeah, you can go.
Speaker 1 (47:33):
Can I use guys who are alive and guys who
have passed away.
Speaker 3 (47:36):
In their prime?
Speaker 4 (47:36):
Yep, in their primes?
Speaker 1 (47:37):
Okay, Bloomington, Indiana. Bobby Knight in his prime? Wow, Kurt
Signetti right now?
Speaker 9 (47:47):
Wow, yep, it's.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
The Hoosiers couple of angry, angry, angry people looking for
that table.
Speaker 9 (47:54):
If no one's giving it out.
Speaker 3 (47:55):
Listen, you don't want to either of them in your restaurant.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
I can tell you that much. They're gonna complain about
the weight, staff, all of it.
Speaker 9 (48:00):
I mean, misteak has never been cooked, right.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
I think ownership would want Signetti because Knight would walk
in and probably just throw the chair at the table,
you know, throw it.
Speaker 7 (48:09):
Across the room, and he doesn't get his table. He
is wrecking that place. It's a real who's your dad?
Speaker 1 (48:15):
So this is hey, this is a prime Bobby Knight
right now, Dan, prime Bobby Knight. They just they're coming
off a championship. Keith Smart I think it was like
eighty forty five something like that, and he's walking into
that restler.
Speaker 3 (48:28):
It's possible the general is getting there.
Speaker 7 (48:31):
It's not even an ounce of hesitation.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (48:34):
I think we need You need about another half dozen
years of signetti. You need a few more memes out
of him before you can get to I mean, Bob
Knight threw a chair across a court and during a
game like that is iconic.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
Stuff, and Dan saying he would do that when he
walked into the rest of Root.
Speaker 3 (48:51):
Imagine if Patino walked in, Wow.
Speaker 11 (48:53):
What.
Speaker 3 (48:55):
I'm in the kitchen.
Speaker 9 (49:00):
Be right, pable thirty.
Speaker 3 (49:01):
Being exciting fourteen seconds.
Speaker 4 (49:04):
This table is in La the Rock walks in, and
then Kevin Hart walks in.
Speaker 7 (49:11):
Wow, who gets in front of him though he'd have
to walk in front of him to be.
Speaker 3 (49:14):
Seen, Yes, Rock or Kevin Hort.
Speaker 9 (49:17):
The rockets the table. What do we even talking?
Speaker 7 (49:19):
I think that's a hundred percent the Rock really yeah?
Speaker 3 (49:22):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (49:23):
And I think the part of it is because Kevin
Hart is gonna handle it better. He's just going to
tell jokes about how he got, uh, you know, over
taken by the Rock.
Speaker 3 (49:30):
Let's stay in La Prime, Magic Prime Kobe.
Speaker 9 (49:36):
Kobe, are you.
Speaker 7 (49:37):
Sure about that magic rock? The sizzle to he was
he is the Lakers.
Speaker 16 (49:43):
Yeah, there's no Kobe without magic, and most people put
it's just crazy to me. Most people put magic ahead
of Kobe on the all time players list. They automatically
put magic top five, Yes, which is crazy because he's
basically looked like what forty.
Speaker 7 (49:56):
One year old Lebron looks like. Right anyway, Yeah, digress.
Speaker 4 (50:00):
I'm switching. I'm switching to magic now.
Speaker 7 (50:02):
I think it's magic that smile smile is he.
Speaker 4 (50:07):
Made a compelling argument, right, Okay, good documentary.
Speaker 1 (50:11):
Yeah, I'm sorry, Wow, it's not what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (50:15):
Shack versus Kobe Prime, Shaq Kobe Prime.
Speaker 7 (50:19):
They're giving it to Shack.
Speaker 6 (50:20):
I think most people think that everything happened between them
was Kobe's fault because he was too demanding.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
Well, I also think people viewed Shack as the number
one on that team, which is why Kobe has said.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
That those championships he won without Shaq were more important
to him than the championships he won.
Speaker 6 (50:35):
Would Shack, Kobe would not get the table. He'd just
go to the gym and take them more jumpers.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Whatever you want to talk about Wednesday, eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
That is eight seven, seven ninety.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Nine on Fox. We'll get to the Knicks. Joel Embiid
is out for Game two. The Lakers lebron gave a
strong effort last night and they still lost by eighteen
to Oklahoma City. We'll get to that in just a
second as well. But there's a big soccer match. I
know this because I heard it on my way in
(00:47):
and bordot Riccardo has his soccer jersey on. There's aggregate.
One of the teams is leading five to four headed
into the game. We're stealing ideas from soccer and we're
implementing them into US sports. What is the big soccer
match today, Taylor?
Speaker 4 (01:02):
It's a Champions League semifinal Paris Saint Jerma and Bayern Munich.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Ah PSG.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Nailed that.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
What is going on with Chris Simms, who is in London.
He is traveling, he's on vacation. Sims at this soccer game?
Is that where he's at?
Speaker 4 (01:23):
So Sims was at the Arsenal the other semifinal match yesterday,
Arsenal at Lettico Madrid, and Sims was in some kind
of suite at Arsenal at the Emirates, and he was
in a full suit at this suite. Like, sim stop
taking yourself so serious and drop the suit.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Look, buddy, wait, you were just at his house. You're
friends with the family. Now Phil loves you, and now
you're taking shots at Chris.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
What do you do? It's a dangerous game, man, be careful.
He where's a suit?
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
But Si, me and Sims have like this older brother
younger brother relationship where he wants absolutely nothing to do
with me as the older brother, And sometimes I gotta
give him the banter. Like sometimes during football night in America,
he would wear like a mister Roger sweatshirt. I'm like, Sims, man,
you're pretty cool, but that sweatshirt is doing you no favors.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I don't care that he's on vacation. Get him on
the show, Okay, just see if he wants to join us.
I care, well, I don't care if he cares. Just
ask him if he could join.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Us and talk some soccer.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Also, this sweet he was in. Yes, it was a
Who's Who. Yes, Bendict Cumberbat.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Wait, hold on, this is why I want to talk
to him. Is he will now understand why I don't
care it is that he's on vacation. Give us the
rest of the names in that suite.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
It was Benedict Cumberbatch and Sean mcvett.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Jawge's drop.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Yeah, I mean Benedict Cumberbatch. A little surprised that one was.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I don't know who that is.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
I don't know if it's a Who's Who, it's a
it's a who.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Oh at McVeigh right right, that's how sim rolls, and
he rolls wearing a suit. Listen, when you're going to
an event in which you're gonna see very little scoring,
you got to dress.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Up for it.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
It's a roller by Taylor.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I believe he was in an owner's box too, and
that's why he was wearing the suit.
Speaker 8 (03:13):
Wait a second, So you're going on this so you're
going to an old like Chicago Bears, New England Patriots
game in like the mid nineteen eighties, everybody's dressed in
the suit and tie.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
Yeah you're expecting low scoring.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yes, dick a sweater with a shirt at its high underneath.
I mean, imagine if Hallis was coaching that team. I mean,
I mean, he'd be dressed with a ninth parent.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yes, Mikey Jack tel Rio wanted to wear a suit
on every game, probably because he knew he wasn't going
to score the Jaguars.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Is that why pat Riley dressed so well? Because it
was all low scoring in his mind? Yes, yes, it
all makes sense.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Dress for success, I.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Mean low scoring success.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
But defense was success for Riley back then, right, Yeah,
I mean, I guess the game has changed. Let's play this. Uh,
we had weekend observations. We did it on the podcast
on Monday. I'm not getting enough credit around here. No
one is locked into these NBA playoffs more than me. Nobody.
I sixers down three to one to the Celtics. Is
he is so mad at me?
Speaker 7 (04:14):
He was supposed to give you the credit. I mean,
names on the show, you get all the credit.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I mean, listen, you know Taylor likes to send out
clips of Taylor again.
Speaker 7 (04:21):
Yes, you go, that's your fault. You gave him control
of your socials.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Holl onf PSG scored early yep, wow, two minutes into
this game.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
So it's six four or five five six four on aggregate?
Speaker 7 (04:30):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
You like how I knew that?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Huh yeah, I mean you just add one goal.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So, like I was saying, I'm not getting enough credit
around here, one goal because no one is glued and
locked into these NBA playoffs, like I am not. Is
he not Steven A Smith, not Frank is Sola? Nobody?
Sixers down three to one to the Celtics. No one
gave him a shot. I said the Sixers would win
(04:56):
that series. And b comes back and he's healthy and
he's playing great. And then on Monday we did the
wee Can Observations and I said this about joe El embiid,
Joel embiid get some new material? Is he You know
what the e and embiid stands for. No, it stands
for everyone knows. You'll be hurt by game three. Anyway,
(05:22):
why I'm locked in?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Did you record that off of a radio inside of
a car and then replay it for us?
Speaker 7 (05:29):
What was that.
Speaker 9 (05:30):
Sound from a flip phone?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yes, I was underwater.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I don't know how that sounds sent. I'm playing it
on my phone right now, and it sounds completely normal.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
That's exactly what I remember talk radio is sounding like
in nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yes, is that Iowa Sam being the d boy yet again?
I mean defense against an offense?
Speaker 10 (05:54):
So yeah, quality sounded like he was fifteen years old.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Sounds good on Taylor's phone, though, I.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Should I play it for my phone?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah? Yes, do it?
Speaker 7 (06:05):
Do it from your phone on the on the my
trail sounds great.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Busy. You know what the E and embeid stands for.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
It stands for everyone knows you'll be hurt by game
three anyway.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Nailed it now, but still good.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I was Sam. Let's hear yours again? Please, if you
don't mind, just one more time, give.
Speaker 9 (06:25):
Some new material.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Izzy. You know what the E and embeid stands for.
Speaker 11 (06:31):
It stands for everyone knows you'll be hurt.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
By game three?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Anyway?
Speaker 9 (06:36):
Is he on a car phone?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I'm like three car phones and I'm submarine.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Let's go to Izzy from a my goodness.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
And here comes Red Grange down the sideline.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
That guy wears a suit. I mean.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
That's like when you send somebody a picture and in
your phone it's glorious, and on their phone it's like
this little one centimeter by one centimeter box.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
It's like, oh man, something's wrong with your phone.
Speaker 10 (07:02):
I think that's an iPhone to a non iPhone transaction.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Do we know the problem?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
So, Izzy, the Knicks have Game two tonight at Madison
Square Garden. I love Game twos because you're going to
see the teams.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
That are desperate.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Tonight, Philadelphia is still without EMBIID is going to be
a very desperate team. I imagine that game is going
to be a lot closer than Game one was. And
then you have San Antonio later on, also a desperate
team because.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
They need to get a victory here. They don't want
to go down too.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Why are you laughing?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
We're finally talking NBA.
Speaker 12 (07:32):
Playoffs for you cracking up because you say I love
Game twos, and I was like, this is something I
didn't know about. I love a game, so I wanted
to go grab a pen right about that down, which
is another STU Gods move, and I don't have a pen,
and both of those things just made me laugh to
I have.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Your pen, it's right here. But I do love Game twos. Dealers, well,
we tend to get carried away in these series. We
discussed this a little bit yesterday, where the Knicks win
big in Game one and we think our Like I
told Taylor today, I'm terrified of the Pistons and I
shouldn't be thinking about the Eastern Conference finals because we're
not done with Philadelphia yet. And so you have these
(08:10):
teams who are desperate. They don't want to go down
oh two, especially the Spurs. That's going to be interesting
because you can't go down two headed back to Minnesota.
But this is going to be interesting tonight. I do
think the Sixers will keep it very close and hopefully
the next will win.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
I'm with Izzy here though, on you saying you love
Game two. It's not game rank games one through seven
right now.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Okay, Game two best two words in sports.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Come on, seven's gotta be won.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
We will go seven as number one.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
So game seven, that's the Andy Petnitt game.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Game two, Yes, yeah, thank you, it's a big game.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Game two is an underrated game, I'm telling you. But
how under it in terms of importance? Well, the series,
both series could.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Be over tonight. I mean technically, if the Knicks win,
it hasn't started. No, and Minnesota already started. They want
to roun talking through these looks.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yes, you got so. Game seven is number one on
my list.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Okay, that's how I do it. I just keep talking,
so hopefully someone forgets Mikey. Game seven is number one
on my list.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Game two is number two.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Yeah, bigger than Game six.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Much bigger than Game six. All right, Game two sets
the tone for the rest of the series. Okay, it's
a tone center. So Game two is my second favorite.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
And then I love and man do I love a
big Game four?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Wow, i'd Game five there?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Really really?
Speaker 7 (09:37):
Game four is not really that. Game five classically pivotal,
plastically pivotal.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yes, some would say it's not so.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Game four was three, Game.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Four is three, Game five is four, Game six is five.
How many games left.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Do I have?
Speaker 7 (09:56):
You've got one?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
So game one is the least important, least Game three
is the second at least important.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Yes, so we go seven, two, four, five, six three one.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Now then, so game one is the least important.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
But there's something that happens from game one to game
two where the series can be designed.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Oh, the whole series could be shifted tonight, I'm telling you.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
But it also might not start.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Might be over.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I mean, listen, tell me right now, if the Timberwolves
win tonight, that series isn't over.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
It's over, right yeah, and it will have started twice.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Correct now you're getting it. Yes, we're not able.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
To read anything today because I'm crying with laughter.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Now. If the Knicks win Game two, the series isn't over.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
It just hasn't started yet, right right, But it's close
to being over.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
I think so, I hope so, I hope everybody gets it.
I just know I didn't realize that Game two was
the second most beloved phrase in sports. Yes, it is
funny with Joel embiid. I was actually thinking about this
before I heard him, man, I was before I heard
that he was out.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
I think they'd be better off without him in.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
A in a not for the series, right, but in
a let's just play free game two right where Okay, yeah,
we need to steal one eventually from New York, but
maybe this isn't the one Joel's not and their defense
just becomes better because they don't have Joel. In a
sort of lazy drop coverage seventy five percent of the time.
(11:27):
And you know, if you tell VJ. Edgecomb, hey, you
got more responsibility. Now we've seen that he can turn
that into a forty burger, and so I think you know,
not to say again, not for the series, but for
this game too, it might have been a slightly better.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
Off without doing a game too.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Is he this This game too feels like it's it's
two sides of a coin, where one side is mbats
sitting tonight feels like a punk game two. Let him
beat Rest as much as possible, get him back in Philadelphia.
Series still hasn't started. The other side of that coin,
The TM tyres Maxie stands for a trap game fifty
point game he did to get.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
The Celtics right. That was without Embid, and that was
in Boston.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, this is what I worry about. I mean, I
would rather Embid play at this point. I'm so tired
of that guy with the tickets and don't let Nick
fans buy the tickets at Philadelphia and then you're not
playing by game two, I mean just enough out of
hit a big game two.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Who misses a big game two? I mean nobody?
Speaker 7 (12:23):
I mean, you know how big it is.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Yeah, it was strange how defiant Joel Embiid was with
like the ticket thing in Philadelphia, where he was like,
if you need money, I got you. But we really
haven't gotten any follow ups since then. Like if a
Philadelphia fan had an offer for five hundred dollars to
sell their tickets to a Knicks fan and they chose
not to because Joel Embiid said, I'll just give you
the money instead. Joel Embiid kind of feels like he's
(12:48):
he's liable for that five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Now, Well, I don't know if he feels like that,
but perhaps an attorney will feel like that.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Carl Douglas, there's just no way the message will get
to him. That's how he'll be free of it. So nobody.
It never actually reached me. It reached my agent, but
it didn't reach me.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Right, If you sell your tickets Philly, I don't blame you.
You were expect you bought him expecting to see Joel Embiid,
and of course he's not going to show up because
he never shows up.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
But also, if I was Joel Embid in that moment,
I'd be feeling pretty good about myself. Like, I just
beat the Celtics team that was supposed to, by most
people's measure, make it to the finals. And now we've
got this NIXT team that's, yeah, feeling itself because it
beat the Hawks.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
But I think I'd be talking my stuff too if
I was Joel it was.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Their super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
You're right, I mean, I can't disagree with you on that.
I am terrified of Oklahoma City. And this is what happens, Okay,
when you blow out, you have a big blowout in
game one, you start thinking about the Pistons in the
Eastern Conference Finals, and then you start thinking about, Hey,
what am I doing all this for?
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Why am I staying up so late? Why am I
getting so emotional?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Because Lebron James gave you the game that he wanted, Okay,
that you wanted if you're a Laker fan. A great
game last night by Lebron, still lost by eighteen, and
Shay didn't play that well. And so I'm terrified of
Oklahoma City because now I'm thinking about the NBA Finals.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Well, I mean, I mean, this is what it's disappointing, right,
It's disappointing that Luca can't play because this would have
been so much better. It would have been so great
to see Luca ahead of the Snake versus SGA, like
bang bang one versus the other, which one's going to
dominate or which one's gonna come out on top. And
you know, based on that first game, it looked like, yeah,
if Luca was there, the Lakers actually.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Have a chance here.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
And again, you know the old David Stern line, I
want to see the Lakers versus the Lakers and the
finals every years.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
That's what's best for the NBA.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Like that would have been amazing, but instead it's more
than likely going to be okay. See, I don't know
if you saw this, but Luca talked about his injury
and one of the things he said is that when
he first got checked out, the doctor said, yeah, eight weeks,
and so this would be five weeks.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
And so it's not looking good.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Like if he plays late in this series, it's going
to be probably you know, with a shot in his
hammy and not feeling much of anything and really won't
be able to play for much longer.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Stull, you're seeing the problem with this Thunder team in
terms of going forward in the NBA, where they've collected
so many assets that when they're in their championship window
very clearly right now, they could very easily flip a
first round pick for somebody who who is a surplus
on another team and becomes a luxury for them. Like
(15:14):
they got Jared McCain to be, what is he their
tenth eleventh guy on their bench, and Jared McCain can
come in and score double digit points on almost any
given night. When when he was on the Sixers before
he got that injury, Jared McCain looked like he could
have been the rookie of the year.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
They have so many quality players that they can adjust
the rotation on any given night and it won't lose
much of anything. Like the guys will step in and
do whatever's needed of them. But to your point, it
does sort of make me feel like there's something that
can happen this postseason that can quote unquote like I'm
being hyperbolic here, but save the NBA at least as
(15:50):
far as not being back to back years for OKC
and maybe not being Wemby's, you know, start of the
dominance that people are gonna get bored with. There's a
little something that I think can happen this year that
might change all that, but I don't want to talk
about that yet.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
We gotta go to break.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Really, that's what we call tea's in the business.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
It's a great teas. Unfortunately, we have a graduation speech
for playing next.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
Oh really yeah, Well, sometime in the show you'll get
my answer.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Okay, it's the rare teas in the first segment, for
the last segment of the first hour.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
How about that? All right? You give it that, Chess Chess.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company

Speaker 13 (16:53):
Kate against Truce on the right wing, k to the
basket jumps it off for JD another jam, Yes Baby, Hey,
that combination has been so good for so long for
the Pistons.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
Jav Bickerstaf says, don't shoot it.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
I would have.
Speaker 13 (17:12):
And eighteen to eight clothes for the Pistons. After the
Cleveland Cavaliers had tied the score at ninety three, with
five and twenty eight to go in the game.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
I would argue to play the day was the star
Thompson's chase down block. But who am I to argue
with Ti Rag And now.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
They have, of course, a pivotal game two coming up tomorrow, yute.
I mean, you can't lose that one if you're the Cavs.
James Harden, please, he's so bad.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
How many turnovers for Harden last night?
Speaker 9 (17:44):
Eight?
Speaker 3 (17:45):
I think it was eight. He's terrible.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I marvel before we get to Dan Byer in a
graduation speech that I did. I marvel. We have guest
bookers here, and I always marvel at who Taylor is
going to say yes to and who he's going to
say no to, because I really left it up to Taylor.
At this point, Bob Chesney is going to join us
at four thirty today, the UCLA head coach, and the
(18:07):
timing is good football, yes, because of the expanded Well,
we all know mc cronin as a basketball coach.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Well, I was just thinking of any sports it's in season.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yes, well, the timing's good because of the expanded college
football playoff that's being proposed. But I am wondering why
you were so quick to respond yes to Bob Chesney.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
So in sports, sometimes a line in the sand is
drawn and you have to pick a side. We clearly
have to pick a side in the battle for La
Ucla versus USC and this show. I will not allow
this show to be a pro Lincoln Riley show. That
fraud over there in Lincoln Riley. The twenty four team
(18:47):
playoff was made for Lincoln Riley, Yes it was.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
He's the one pushing for it because he's never in it.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
So I did not know I would have to be
picking a side in this line in the sand today,
But I guess it's chosen for me, right, We're all brilliant.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Okay, thike you okay with that? I mean I don't know.
I like the Trojans.
Speaker 9 (19:07):
I mean I kind of like you. I see. Maybe
I don't love Lincoln Riley, but I like you.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
We'll give Chesney a chance to win us over. How
about that.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
I'm open for that.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Yes, any ways, do the answer is seven?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
To what turnover?
Speaker 7 (19:22):
He was going to ask he stakes.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yesterday we had Christopher mad Dog Russo. We talked about graduation.
I'm going up to graduation. Man, it goes quick. I
am going up to a graduation this weekend from one
of my daughters at Syracuse University, the Kees.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Yeap, looking forward to that. The Orange uh huh.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
And we talked about commencement speeches and the fact that
Dog has never given one. I would pay to see
Dog give one. I've never given one, which is not
the truth, because I realized that I did after we
spoke with with Christopher Dog.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
We'res so.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
So I am going to play a commencement speech that
I did for the Stugat School of frodcasting many years ago,
since it's graduation season. But I was thinking, is he
about a top five lest yesterday?
Speaker 9 (20:13):
Last night?
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Today?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Top five people in sports whose parents, if they were
huge fans of all things graduations.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
What their names would be?
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Love, pomp, and circumstance.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
It's just a bridge into the speech, that's all it is.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Okay, a speech that you did years ago.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I did a few years ago. But it's a laugh
out loud funny. I think the audience will enjoy it.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
No, I remember it. I just thought you're doing a
new one.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I have an oli. I'm not doing a new one.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
No, okay, ever again that's a bridge too fun Iowa.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Sam just asked if I wanted pomp and circumstance, and yes,
I did, all right, ol I Caleb gowns number five,
Brian Scala, Victorian scal number four, Matt Tasselback, that's a
(21:08):
good one. To number three Javail degree's a great number
two John A Speechee.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
Speech that.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
Was definitely a job of Metia. Bit a bit of
a reach, but still hilarious at the same.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Time, speechy speech and number one grad mccakey.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Grand penny, oh grad penny.
Speaker 9 (21:44):
Damn it.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
So with that said, years ago, me and Dan stands
It collaborated, and then years later we would collaborate on
a book. He thought I would write more of it
because I wrote this speech.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
I didn't. I handed it over to Dan.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Let's play my graduation speech for the class of I
think twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Perhaps from the Connecticut School of Broadcasting.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Listen up, students, Faculty parents, grandparents, and sponsors, especially the
sponsors TISA, the official watch to the NBA, that beautiful
Spaulding Game Day Leather, and ZIP Recruiter the smartest way
(22:41):
to hire graduates. Zip Recruiter will hire the producers, guest bookers,
and researchers.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
That will make your jobs even easier. Today is the
day which will live.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
In infamy for graduates of Syracuse and north Western Great
moments are born from great opportunity, and that's what you
have here.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
That's what you've earned here.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
If we debated them ten times, they might win nine,
but not anymore. Today we interrupt that. Today we clash
with that, and we shut them down because we can.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Today.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
You are the greatest broadcasters in the world. You were
born to be broadcasters, every.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
One of you.
Speaker 9 (23:37):
This is your time.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Their time is done.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
It's over.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I'm sick and tired of hearing about what great broadcast
schools the ivys have screw up. This is your time.
I had a dream many years ago. I had a
dream that my two teenage children will one day live
in a nation where they will not be judged by
the color of their skin, but by the content of
(24:05):
the paycheck. Their father's character receives. I knew it wouldn't
be easy to transform sports media, but take it from me,
you miss one hundred.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Percent of the takes.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
You don't steal from Greenie, Cowhard and Pablo. I mean,
I've missed more than nine thousand pronunciations in my career.
I've lost almost three hundred debates, twenty six todds. I've
been trusted to make the segment ending joke and misheard
what was said.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
In my year.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I have failed.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Over and over and over.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Again in my life, and that is why I succeed.
Always remember what you learned on your first day here.
Speak loudly and carry a big stick.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
You'll go farm.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
To my many detractors, I asked, do you want the truth?
Because most traditional reporters can't handle the truth. We live
in a world that has paywalls, and those paywalls have
to be guarded by men with journalism degrees.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Who's going to do it?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
You, Lieutenant Oban, I have a greater responsibility than you
could possibly fabil. You week for newspapers and you curse
the blogs and podcasts.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
You have that luxury.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
You have the luxury of not knowing what I know
that the death of newspapers, while tragic, probably created better content.
And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Creates better content. How is this that you don't want
the truth?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Because deep down in places you don't talk about in
press boxes, you want me on that radio.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
You need me on that radio.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
You use things like stats, sources and postgame quotes. You
use those things as the backbone of a life's that's
defending something. I use them as a punchline.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
I have neither the.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Time nor the inclination to explain myself to everyone who
rides and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom
that I provide, and then questions the matter in which
I provide it. I'd rather they just say thank you
and went.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
On their way.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Otherwise, I suggest they borrow someone else's takes and mail
it a podcast. Either way, I don't give a damn
what they think they are entitled to. My fellow broadcasters,
ask not what your alma mater could do for you,
Ask what you can do for your alma mater. And
(26:42):
what you could do is send yearly donations. Better make
it monthly donations. If you want to make them weekly,
that's fine. Just make them out to my name, keep
the cast flow coming, the bucks stops here at my desk,
and speaking up the bucks must in game game five tonight.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
And so you.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Don't have to pronounce his name, as I taught you, remember,
just call him the Greek free. In less than an hour,
you will join others from around the world, and you
will be launching the largest vocal battle on traditional journalism
in the history of mankind. Journalism. That word should have
(27:24):
new meaning for all of us today. We can't be
consumed by our petty differences anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
We will be united in our common interest.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Perhaps it's faith that today is graduation day and you will.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Be set out into the world.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
So fight people with frame diplomas at stack resumes. We
will be fighting for our right to not work hard,
to have no credibility, and still be able to land
at the same network as Bob Lee. And should we
win the day, graduation day will no longer be known
(28:05):
as the day of accomplishment, but as a day other
parents realize they have wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars,
and a day that we the underachievers, declared in one voice,
we will not watch the game at night. We may
or may not watch the big fips. We're going to
(28:27):
live on without facts. We're going to survive without reading.
Today we celebrate your graduation day.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
Somewhere like it's a little bit commencement speeds, a little
bit acceptance speech, a.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
Little bit closing argument, a bent.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Defiant, so very self serving.
Speaker 7 (28:54):
Really went Caleb gowns over, Karl Anthony gowns.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
You're stuck on that?
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Really, there was so much to break down in that
in that commencement speech.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Yeah, I was ahead of my time. Listen man foreshadowing,
how about that?
Speaker 4 (29:08):
My favorite was the appearance we got from Martin Luther
ding Dong junior.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
STU.
Speaker 10 (29:15):
Could I jump in and offer some observations on this?
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Oh? Please do?
Speaker 10 (29:19):
I felt I felt a little Teddy Roosevelt in there.
I felt a little few good men, and I felt
a lot of definitely at the end of Thomas J. Whittmore,
President of the United States, played by Bill Pullman in
Independence Day, I have.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
No idea what you're speaking.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (29:34):
I just did you get any of that? I don't see.
I didn't I.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
Didn't see to get anything. Were listening while we were
listening to the speech.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Are you claiming that I plagiarized my speech.
Speaker 10 (29:46):
Is that what you're No, I think you're just borrowing
some spices, maybe from several popular speeches from movies that Ture.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
We need him on this radio. We want him on
this radio. There's no way it was plagiarized.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Half of it was about him. You notice that, Dad.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Also, the act of stealing takes is encouraged.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Yeah. Always, yes, I mean as a fellow graduate. Yes, Steel,
mind Steel, Taylor's.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Graduated on the top of my class.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
You're my prize student.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
He also could have gone Matt Tassel instead of Tassel
back because Tassel would have worked as well with Castle.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Hey, Stefan, how about you make a list? Uh?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company
live weekdays at three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I am told by Iowa Sam that we have like
eighteen minutes to take phone calls whatever you want to
talk about Wednesday eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
So Whizzy.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I want to see if I'm following you correctly down
this Anthony Edwards path, because I believe that.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
You're talking about Ricardo's haircut.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
You are obsessed with Ricardo's He looks great.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I mean, yes, this is the best bordout Ricardo was
look since we started.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
Well, usually wears a hat, so you can tell he's
really proud of this. But the thing I love about
this haircut that it's not only like pristine like twenty
twenty six can walk anywhere with that haircut, but he
also looks like he could be starring in like a
Grease musical and like just fall into like the nineteen
fifties perfectly, because it's like perfectly like I would say
Sean Sherania would be proud of this.
Speaker 7 (31:25):
Haircut, like that's how good this haircut is.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
And Stu, he's.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Wearing a soccer kit as they call, not a soccer jersey,
a soccer kit. Yes, and it has the collar. It's
a French jersey. The collar on his kit.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
It's a France kit.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Yeah. Yeah, it looks like like photo day here at
Fox Sports Radio right now.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
It's like a real collar and everything.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Wait a second, Ricardo, did you get a haircut for
the big soccer game today? I mean, well, it is
the semi final studot, so I had to look good.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
Yes, it would have no comment to that trust for
the job you want.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
And we all know the semi finals more important than
the final, right, I mean.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
This is the finals pretty much?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Oh, it is really the finals before the final. Huh.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
It's the rare Champions League semi final. That's the Champions
League final.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
Kind of like Arizona Michigan in the final four.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
People are just discounting Arsenal, do they?
Speaker 3 (32:19):
So that's the team that's in the final.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Declan Rice, yep, Arsenal did, and they have no.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Shot regardless of who makes it through to the finals.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
They should, but Arsenal's main focus right now is on
the Premier League, which they haven't won in quite some time.
So it's it's kind of like a pick your poison
for this Arsenal team where they're probably focusing all their
attention on. It's the rare team that's in the Champions
League final that might have their eyes elsewhere.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
But isn't Declan Rice having such a good season that
they're even talking about them about, you know, winning the
ball or whatever the balloon.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
So I'm gonna be honest with you guys right here,
in a moment of transparency, we're so far into this
soccer talk right now, that I don't even know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Well, that's a problem with soccer. There too many leagues.
Everyone's confused.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
You're telling me there's a semi final that happens, it's
a final before a final. It's a league, it's a
different league. There's this league, that league, the World Cup.
It's all confusing.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
I love that, though, Tayto's like, please, no more questions, please.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
I don't know anything.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
No one does. I mean, the players have no idea
what league they're playing in.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Ricardo asked me who I thought was gonna win, and
I essentially told him the German League.
Speaker 9 (33:27):
Do you think it's going to win the Super Bowl?
And I said the NFL.
Speaker 7 (33:32):
Tip of the cap.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
We'll get to your calls here at a second, eight
seven seven ninety nine one Fox. So if Anthony Edward
can beat San Antonio right now, he's back and he's
coming off the bench, Edwards, and perhaps he'll start moving forward.
But that creates a storyline for the NBA with wem beat.
Right has to come back, has to work harder, has
to do it better, has to be better. Right has
to make that climb. Then goes on to beat Oklahoma City,
(33:55):
which makes everyone happy because Oklahoma City does not win
back to back NBA Apians championships because no one wants
that team as an NBA dynast.
Speaker 7 (34:04):
And I would say even greater.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
It would be a victory for ethical hoops, right because
it's not you know, asking for fout, begging for fouls
and all this stuff. It's just I'm Anthony Edwards. I
can get a shot off whenever I want to, and
I'm ridiculously clutched.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
And here's the other thing.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
So the Knicks, who I have already in the NBA Finals,
Nick fans would love that he'd get a standing ovation
because the Knicks are now facing a Timberwolf's team that
Nick fans feel like they could beat as opposed to
Oklahoma City, where Nick fans are like.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Hey, we have no shot.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
So I think if this all plays out, you're right,
he saves the NBA and the Knicks win in five,
and he gets Finals MVP.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
Like, imagine, imagine how star studded Madison Square Garden is
going to be for an NBA Finals, and yet Anthony
Edwards would emerge as the biggest star right there because
of his performance. I mean, and he's just his look
I should hate Anthony Edwards. Anthony Edwards did the thing
where he was like, saw a line of you know,
gay men a thing and said, oh, what is this
(35:03):
world coming to and decided to post that on the Internet.
I should hate the guy, yes, but I see him
as a young guy with a lot to learn and
a very willingness to write. I think he has that
ability to and he's just always going to be himself.
He's going to be very personable, but always be true
to himself. And I think he's impossible not to like.
(35:24):
And so if he just not only with his style
of play, but with his personality comes out on top
after you know what we've been saying, Oh it's Jokers year,
Oh it's Shay's year, Oh it's Wemby's year, and it's
Anthony Edwards out of this sixth seed with a bunch
of defenders around him.
Speaker 7 (35:39):
That I mean, that would do so much for him.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
What is he just did there, by the way, is
make it impossible for you to dislike Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 9 (35:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (35:47):
Yeah, basically because he was right.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
If any is wired to dislike Anthony Edwards, it would
be as real goodyer as And he's telling you he
likes him, Go ahead tell it and it.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
Would be a very star studed event in Madison Square Garden.
There was another met Gala then then Ben Stiller would miss.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
It that phony.
Speaker 7 (36:04):
I mean, I just don't understand the met Galle to
be honest.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
Like, first of all, it's like the Tour de France
to me, it comes around every year and I'm like, oh,
I didn't know it was that sneaks up on now, Yeah, it.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
Definitely sneaks up on you. And then it's just like
I don't, can't, I don't.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
I mean, it's a fundraiser, but it's really just so
you can be seen in these clothes.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
Dude. You guys are rich. You can be seen in
these clothes whenever you want. Just put it on. Just
put it on, and then put it on social same thing.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
I gotta tell you, man, I see, uh, I see
all these celebrities at the Derby.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
I want to go. I'm not big, you know, horse
racing it's dead.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
I'm not big, but I am big on partying, and
that just looks like a massive party.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Man.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
I think that's the Preakness.
Speaker 14 (36:41):
No, no, I think it was definitely the Derby party,
all of them well, the derby is where Tom Brady
was falling down drunk right, and where Wes Welker was
supposedly on Molly and was handing out allegedly.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
Yes, I'm sorry, allegedly not supposedly, I'm really I'm very thankful.
By the way, speaking of a sort of tailor situation
like don'ts any more soccer questions, there was a caller
and the subject line set Pelicans head coach search, and
I got nothing on it, and so thankfully that person
has fallen off.
Speaker 7 (37:08):
But maybe we should take one of these others.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Yeah, the caller high dropped. Let's go out to uh Mark.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Who's in Miami today, Marco Ahead, you're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
What's up? Pillas.
Speaker 15 (37:19):
I agree with your sentiment, SGA. As great as he is,
he doesn't.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Have to do it.
Speaker 15 (37:24):
But I blame the rest more because if they're going
to fall for that bait of foul baiting, he's going
to do it every time. And your skills in and
great as he is offensively, and he's probably as good
as anybody in the league right now inside a KD,
he can sell that call. So I blame the rest
more than that. I just I just really hope they
get taken out. And I agree with you on at Man.
(37:44):
I just love the way how unfiltered and raw he is.
Sometimes they'll get him in trouble, but the guy's so
damn entertaining. But another guy I really enjoys, Cake Cunningham.
Maybe he's not as flashy as ant Man, but I
think overall game you can make a You can make
a strong argument that he's better than a man. It's
just that he's not as flashy, and he doesn't he's
not as unfiltered or raw, but he doesn't flop do anything.
(38:07):
He's just an ultimate gamer. He's just every single play.
I just love it. As a Nick fit and excuse
me as a Heath fan who hates the Knicks, I
would I really Brunton does that at times. But I
just love way his bulldog mentality being an undersized guard,
the way he attacks and just goes that guy's and
and and the way he just his ultimate will of
being a second round guy who was expected to be
(38:30):
a ninth or tenth guy off the bench. I mean,
I can't believe I'm saying this as a Heathan about
the Knicks, but I really enjoy watching them there, they're
kind of interest stating cact even though he's off the wall.
When he gets going man and that mecha the garden's rocking,
it'd be entertaining. So I just I just think the
sentiment to okay, see. As great as they are, I
just I don't think a lot of people enjoy them
(38:51):
at all, and it would be hopefully I'm hoping whoever
it is at Man, preferably even the Spurs to somebody
take them out because with this new CBA, and I'm
just hoping they're going to lose a lot of their
guys in their dynasty is not going to be attacked.
So I think they're gonna start losing some guys starting
this year because they've already maxed out Sea, Dalen Williams
and h another. So it's gonna be great to watch
(39:12):
things from tillis all right?
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Thank you, Mark, call again, please whenever you want, about
whatever you want. This is why I came back to
sports radio out of it. There are different types of callers.
Mark is the type of caller who calls in and
just does whatever the hell he wants. I mean, the
show that he wants to do, that's the show. And
I said, Hey, it's whatever you want Wednesday, so you
can talk about whatever you want. But Mark, I'm telling
(39:34):
you you could do that on a Thursday, Friday, of
Monday and Tuesday whenever you want.
Speaker 14 (39:38):
Okay, You're always whatever you want, apparently for how long
you want.
Speaker 7 (39:41):
Yeah, I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yes, he was doing his show.
Speaker 6 (39:44):
He mentioned Kid Cunningham and I thought, you know, in
terms of like the potential finals opponent for Anthony Edwards,
it would very much be like the the Michael Jordan
path of having to get over the tough defensive Pistons
team with the all world point guard.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
Now it's I can tell you of someone who watched
his first Pistons game last night.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Kate cutting him is good.
Speaker 7 (40:05):
That was your first game last night?
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Duran in the post, I am terrified of the Pistons.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
I want nothing. Let's go Calves now the Pistons.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
For me, we have the close your eyes test where
I asked you guys to close your eyes and imagine something. Yeah,
the Pistons don't pass the close your eyes test because
close your eyes and imagine Tobias Harris as the second
option for a title team.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
You can't.
Speaker 6 (40:29):
My eyes were wide open. And I couldn't believe what
he was doing in the first round. Yeah, okay, because
he was actually being the guy and doing it well.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Yes, Mikey, since Taylor likes.
Speaker 9 (40:38):
To bring up all his takes, that he was right.
I believe the Knicks didn't pass to close your eyes
test when we did that.
Speaker 7 (40:45):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
Yeah, that is no, the Knicks didn't.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
No, So the close your eyes test for the Knicks
was close your eyes and imagine Karl Anthony Town's winning
a title.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Yes, well, now close, Well he's on the neck. Has
anything changed? Try again? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (40:58):
You know what, in the spirit of accountability, when I
close my eyes, I could kind of pitch your cat.
I could see the thirty two in the outline of him.
His face isn't filled in yet, but we're starting to
get that picture.
Speaker 7 (41:12):
I can't believe he was in Devilware is product too.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
You know the take he never reminds you of, mikeyya
that he hates this Yankee team and they've won seventeen.
Speaker 7 (41:20):
I believe least favorite, not hate.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
It's my least favorite.
Speaker 7 (41:24):
Yes, they won seventeen of nineteen.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
Listen, all the fathers out there know you have a
least favorite kid. If you have more than one kid,
you have a least favorite kid. Doesn't mean you love
that kid any less, but you have a least favorite
I don't.
Speaker 9 (41:38):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (41:38):
This is like when your least favorite kid. He's succeeding
really well, but the sport is like badminton.
Speaker 9 (41:44):
This kid, I know.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
Tell it was trying to set me up for the
joke there. I wasn't wanting to do it. My kids
are graduating this weekend.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
Yes, listen, I'm speaking as I'm speaking as a guy
with no kids.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
All the dads out there know they have a least favorite.
Speaker 7 (41:56):
Night, don't they twins? Yes, yeah, it can't be. It
can't have a leave favorite.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Yeah, well you can.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Let's go out to Kelly in North Carolina. Kelly go ahead.
You're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 15 (42:10):
And do you think Fernando Mendoza saved Carlos Mendoza's job
by having by making the last.
Speaker 3 (42:17):
Name look good unfortunately?
Speaker 6 (42:20):
Yes, I mean it is a good time to be
a Mendoza.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
It's never been a better time.
Speaker 7 (42:28):
It's incredibility.
Speaker 1 (42:29):
Yes, let's go, thank you for the call, Kelly. Let's
go to John, who's in Maine today. John, go ahead,
you're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 11 (42:38):
Hey guys, loving the show. When I watched the Kentucky Derby.
My wife and I used to watch the Kentucky Derby
and we'd always have a private vet between the two
of us and we'd pick a horse.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (42:53):
She died three years ago, and I still watch the
Kentucky Derby and I still pick a horse fear. I
watched and I picked Great White, and I looked up
at the heavens. I said, okay, honey, you know and uh,
all of a sudden, I see on the TV. I
went and got a drink and I'd come back and
(43:15):
it's like my horse flipped over and knocked the jack
you off and they scratched him. And I'm like, out
of all those horses, I picked the one that decided
to have an attitude adjustment.
Speaker 7 (43:30):
That was your wife's making sure you didn't win.
Speaker 5 (43:32):
Yes, exactly right, because our private bet was if she won,
she had to make love to me and if I
made if I won, I had to make love to her.
Speaker 9 (43:48):
When when what.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
I am going to try? Yes, I'm going to try
it tonight. What's the horse Rades basketball game?
Speaker 3 (44:00):
I no, No, I.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
Don't care what the bet is I'll lose That was
such a great line by is he that is your wife,
even in the afterlife, still getting the best of you.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
I just let you have it. Eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. That is eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox.
Speaker 7 (44:20):
Yes, no, I just had something to read if you
want me to.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Oh no, I thought we had five more minutes here.
I mean I was saying, we don't know any time. No,
we have time for calls. I mean they're wide over
lines right now. I just cleared them out eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. That is eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. Because of course, we are killing
time here until we try until Bob Chesney joins us
and tries to convert us all to UCLA brewin football fans.
Speaker 7 (44:43):
Are we sure he's not related to Kenny Chesney? I
have no idea, should be the first question?
Speaker 3 (44:47):
Or well, probably probably not. I think Kenny Chesney might
be joining us on the show.
Speaker 7 (44:51):
Actually, really, how about that?
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Yeah, he's got a concert, he's got some uh, he's
got a residency at the Sphere. He also just wrote
a book, and he's been on with several times before.
Speaker 4 (45:01):
What we need is a podcast with Bob Chesney and
Kenny Chesney and it's called a couple of Chesney's.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
What else would you call it?
Speaker 4 (45:10):
I don't know what they would talk about, but I'd
listen at least of the first episode.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
All Right, Taylor wants to play a game of one table,
So Iowa, Sam DePoy, get that music ready please.
Speaker 2 (45:22):
There's one table left at the hottest spot in town,
and everybody wants it. Who's getting it and who's getting
left outside? Greatness gets seated, everyone else waits. This is
one table.
Speaker 7 (45:40):
That sounds like Sam? Was that?
Speaker 15 (45:41):
Sam?
Speaker 4 (45:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (45:42):
No? We played this game earlier today with t Bob
from Barstool.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
Check it out on Stecott's company, The show we do
before the show.
Speaker 6 (45:50):
Thank you so much for making this a restaurant with
one table left instead of a restaurant with just one table.
Speaker 9 (45:59):
It's a terrible bit his model.
Speaker 4 (46:01):
Go ahead, Dylan, So this one is tough. The tables
in South ben Indiana Wow. And in walks Marcus Freeman yep.
And in walks Mike.
Speaker 7 (46:14):
Golick ooh Senior.
Speaker 3 (46:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (46:17):
Notre Dame's first family.
Speaker 1 (46:20):
So it's Marcus Freeman, the coach who hasn't won a
national championship.
Speaker 7 (46:24):
Yeah, hasn't really figured out his.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
Hair against Mike Golick, who I don't think won a
national championship when he was at Notre Dame's hair looks great,
but he is part of the first family of.
Speaker 4 (46:34):
Notre Dame Iconic Sports show.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
In fact, I'm guessing Golick had you know, a voice
when they hired Marcus Freeman. It made that decision, yes,
and Freeman should get gold at the table.
Speaker 9 (46:46):
Out of respect.
Speaker 3 (46:48):
But Golick, being the nice guy that he is, would
give Marcus to the table.
Speaker 7 (46:50):
This is a tough one.
Speaker 6 (46:51):
This is very tough because, like I'm imagining who would
be more okay standing outside?
Speaker 7 (46:57):
Like who would look more just okay with it?
Speaker 6 (47:00):
And I'm sorry, but I don't see Marcus Freeman standing
outside in the cold waiting, you know what I mean?
Like everybody in South Bend would be like, what's wrong
with that restaurant?
Speaker 9 (47:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (47:08):
Versus if golic was outside waiting, he would be like, oh,
what a nice guy.
Speaker 7 (47:12):
He probably lets somebody else eat in front of him.
Speaker 4 (47:14):
Yes, and Freeman is not waiting outside if it's raining,
because half his hair wouldn't get washed away.
Speaker 3 (47:18):
That's right. Yes, So Marcus Freeman. We all agree he
would get the table.
Speaker 9 (47:24):
I love Mike, but there's no chance.
Speaker 6 (47:26):
There's no chance that's not Marcus mum table.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
Yes, do you have another? Because I have one?
Speaker 4 (47:31):
I heard, Yeah, you can go.
Speaker 1 (47:33):
Can I use guys who are alive and guys who
have passed away.
Speaker 3 (47:36):
In their prime?
Speaker 4 (47:36):
Yep, in their primes?
Speaker 1 (47:37):
Okay, Bloomington, Indiana. Bobby Knight in his prime? Wow, Kurt
Signetti right now?
Speaker 9 (47:47):
Wow, yep, it's.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
The Hoosiers couple of angry, angry, angry people looking for
that table.
Speaker 9 (47:54):
If no one's giving it out.
Speaker 3 (47:55):
Listen, you don't want to either of them in your restaurant.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
I can tell you that much. They're gonna complain about
the weight, staff, all of it.
Speaker 9 (48:00):
I mean, misteak has never been cooked, right.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
I think ownership would want Signetti because Knight would walk
in and probably just throw the chair at the table,
you know, throw it.
Speaker 7 (48:09):
Across the room, and he doesn't get his table. He
is wrecking that place. It's a real who's your dad?
Speaker 1 (48:15):
So this is hey, this is a prime Bobby Knight
right now, Dan, prime Bobby Knight. They just they're coming
off a championship. Keith Smart I think it was like
eighty forty five something like that, and he's walking into
that restler.
Speaker 3 (48:28):
It's possible the general is getting there.
Speaker 7 (48:31):
It's not even an ounce of hesitation.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (48:34):
I think we need You need about another half dozen
years of signetti. You need a few more memes out
of him before you can get to I mean, Bob
Knight threw a chair across a court and during a
game like that is iconic.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
Stuff, and Dan saying he would do that when he
walked into the rest of Root.
Speaker 3 (48:51):
Imagine if Patino walked in, Wow.
Speaker 11 (48:53):
What.
Speaker 3 (48:55):
I'm in the kitchen.
Speaker 9 (49:00):
Be right, pable thirty.
Speaker 3 (49:01):
Being exciting fourteen seconds.
Speaker 4 (49:04):
This table is in La the Rock walks in, and
then Kevin Hart walks in.
Speaker 7 (49:11):
Wow, who gets in front of him though he'd have
to walk in front of him to be.
Speaker 3 (49:14):
Seen, Yes, Rock or Kevin Hort.
Speaker 9 (49:17):
The rockets the table. What do we even talking?
Speaker 7 (49:19):
I think that's a hundred percent the Rock really yeah?
Speaker 3 (49:22):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (49:23):
And I think the part of it is because Kevin
Hart is gonna handle it better. He's just going to
tell jokes about how he got, uh, you know, over
taken by the Rock.
Speaker 3 (49:30):
Let's stay in La Prime, Magic Prime Kobe.
Speaker 9 (49:36):
Kobe, are you.
Speaker 7 (49:37):
Sure about that magic rock? The sizzle to he was
he is the Lakers.
Speaker 16 (49:43):
Yeah, there's no Kobe without magic, and most people put
it's just crazy to me. Most people put magic ahead
of Kobe on the all time players list. They automatically
put magic top five, Yes, which is crazy because he's
basically looked like what forty.
Speaker 7 (49:56):
One year old Lebron looks like. Right anyway, Yeah, digress.
Speaker 4 (50:00):
I'm switching. I'm switching to magic now.
Speaker 7 (50:02):
I think it's magic that smile smile is he.
Speaker 4 (50:07):
Made a compelling argument, right, Okay, good documentary.
Speaker 1 (50:11):
Yeah, I'm sorry, Wow, it's not what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (50:15):
Shack versus Kobe Prime, Shaq Kobe Prime.
Speaker 7 (50:19):
They're giving it to Shack.
Speaker 6 (50:20):
I think most people think that everything happened between them
was Kobe's fault because he was too demanding.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
Well, I also think people viewed Shack as the number
one on that team, which is why Kobe has said.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
That those championships he won without Shaq were more important
to him than the championships he won.
Speaker 6 (50:35):
Would Shack, Kobe would not get the table. He'd just
go to the gym and take them more jumpers.

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.
