CDTA KickStarter. The best of 2024?
Yankees and Dodgers get ready for World Series
Goz's WNBA rant

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
We're live. How you going in the GT Toys studio,
that's toys with is Z. It's time for the cd
TA kickstarter. That's right. All the money you save at
CDTA go buy yourself a fun motorsports toy over at
GT Toy. See it all comes together nicely.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Well back, I'll say this before we even start. This
is October twenty first, twenty twenty four, and what you're
about to lay on us might be the best CDTA
kickstart of the entire weekend in sports, of the entire
year of twenty twenty four.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
A lot pressure, lot pressure.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
You're gonna hit it.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
I can put a lot of pressure on me right now.
All right, let's start with the guy who got booed
for rupturing his own achilles. That's right, Deshaun Watson, quarterback
of the Cleveland Browns. The Dog Pound not fans of him.
He actually, like I said, ruptures his achilles. He goes down.
It's clearly a non contact almost from the stands. You
can see his calfs start to vibrate the way it

(00:55):
does when you blow out your achilles, and the crowd boot.
They'd boot him for getting hurt. The Browns would go
on to lose twenty one to fourteen, and then dtr
would get hurt, and then Jameis Winston would come in.
The Browns are an absolute mess. They are fou bar
but they do not have to worry about Deshaun Watson

(01:16):
for the rest of this year with a torn I'm
sorry rupture Achilles.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I don't like anything about anything involved in that franchise
or that story. We covered this a little bit on Sunday,
like why was Winston inactive but then able to be
active but then was the emergency quarterback and he had
this heartfelt, viral two minute message about Watson. It's nasty
and dirty when people boo injuries, but people would say, no, no, no,
I'm not booing the injury. I'm booing the person because

(01:41):
of what they did victims. Damy Parkin's going viral with
his take from Fock. This whole thing is gross, everything
from the fans of the reaction to what's happening with
Watson off the field. Doug Gottlieb, I'm quoting a lot
of people in this opening take call that Shakespearean and
I'd have to Doug GotY, I can't stay Doug Gottlieb
but I think Shakespearean might be the best way to

(02:03):
describe what's happened with to Shaun Watson over the last
six years.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Uh, Shakespearean or you know, Hugh Hefner. I mean, which
one is better suited well?

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Beck Debo Sweeney as college coach called him the mj
of football and people thought he should have won the
Heinsman Trophy. He almost took the Texans to the Super
Bowl and then everything. It just never was the same person.
We never viewed it as the same person. Again.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
It's an old saying out there, don't ever meet your heroes,
my friends, and that the more we learn about that hero,
the more we find out you may have been a
villains moving out a number nine. Dude, I gotta tell you.
The most fun thing to watch in all of the
NFL this year, especially considered the fact that I am
a Raiders fan, is the Detroit Lions. They are pretty

(02:49):
dang good. Here's your statu of the day. In the
past four games, the Lions have scored eighteen touchdowns. That
is three more than Jared Goff has thrown in completions
of fifteen. The Lions come back and just just tenacious.
The d in Detroit is for tenacious D as they
do what needs to be done to win thirty one

(03:10):
twenty nine over the Minnesota Vikings. Did you say the
D is for Tenacus tenacious d D in Detroit. That's right,
the pick of destiny that happened to the game eight times.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
I am besides my Buccaneers, besides my favorite team. You said, guys,
pick any team their roots to go to the Super
Bowl in New Orleans February ninth, twenty twenty five. Pick
a team not your favorite, the Detroit Lions. They're the
best team in the NFL. I'm rooting for them to
get to their first ever Super Bowl. I want them
to get there. And Jared Goff little MVP conversation, all

(03:44):
of a sudden.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Think about the fact that we watched the game with
two washed up franchise quarterbacks going toe to toe on
a duel of two of the best teams in the NFL,
with Jared Goff and Sam Darnold, and it was one
of the best games of the day. I mean, that
just goes to show you that not every quarterback we
gets off to a rocky start is borled out. You
can actually some of them can be brought back from

(04:06):
the scrap heap and say.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
The best game of the week, maybe top five game
of the season. We got out of Lions Bike. Is
there one kick away from having a different discussion? That
was a great football game.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
You know you mentioned that game in New Orleans that
we're gonna go cover thanks to our friends over at
Hooters and McGregor Lynx. Could the team that faces that
Lion's team, if they're so lucky as to make it,
be the Chiefs yet again, because they've made a statement.
Twenty eight eighteen, they beat the San Francisco forty nine
ers in San Francisco. They are the only unbeaten team

(04:37):
left in the NFL. Patrick Mahomes continues to work magic
and do what he does. It's amazing how the dude
can go out there, throw for one hundred and fifty
four yards, have two interceptions and still still be a
key part in the wind as he ran for thirty
nine yards and a touchdown. Mahomes the Chiefs, they just

(04:58):
keep finding ways. The defense gets better every week. They
beat a very very very very good San Francisco team.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
And a lot of that came on that big run
where he like dances along the sidelines. They are the
new era New England Patriots.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Are you are you saying they're a dynasty?

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, yes, yes, But that was the tike I was
gonna make.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
The tack I was going to.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Say, is that tail end of the Patriot dynasty, like
post Moss, the ones that beat the Rams and the Falcons,
like that era I'm talking about, like boring, Like how
are the Patriots winning? They're not that good. Somebody can
beat them, right, They're the Wait, the Chiefs are six
and zero and mahomes at one point during that game,
and I still believe going into this has more interceptions

(05:48):
and touchdowns, but somehow' the MVP favorite with a third
string running back with no wide receivers, they find ways
to win. They are the new era Patriots. And I
don't like the Chiefs anymore. They're annoying me, all right.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
I mean, listen, I've never liked them. But you know,
consider the fact that I'm I'm like two moves closer
to becoming a Lions fan. Somebody called Monty, the unofficial
head of the Levat Gods fan club, the loudest Lions
fan we know. Somebody called Monty and goes, hey can
Levac jump on board for a little while. If the
Raiders draft Shud or Sanders, I mean, Chiefs, They're real,

(06:24):
They are real, and they just continue to be real
somehow in this modern day that is not built for
dynasties to survive. At number seven, I just want to
say this, Please protect Jayden Daniels, Please protect Jadon Daniels.
Commanders win forty seven over a subpar well. I'm sorry,
that's an insult all subpar teams everywhere. Panthers team. They

(06:47):
just there's no reason to let this dude continue to
get hurt. He leaves the game with bruised ribs, comes
back out, waves to the fans, says he would have
kept playing if he needed to, but Marcus Mariota was
good enough to beat the Panthers. I mean, if there's
one franchise in all of sports that you could convince
me there's a literal curse against their quarterbacks, it's the

(07:12):
Washington really Red Commanders. I mean you think about it.
Thighsman Smith RG three, I mean.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Smith, Yeah, Smith's a comby name. I thought there's another
Smith in.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
The I mean, I mean, look at Mark Rippin's face.
That's not fair to do with somebody like, there's a
lot that has gone wrong with this, this franchise in
their quarterbacks. Don't let it happen to Jade and Daniels
burn some sage. Make him stay in the pocket, do
what you gotta do, but do not allow him to
keep running the way he's been running recklessly.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Remember Gus Faratt took his head and banged it against
the walls forgot.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yep, I dude, was he was he with them at
that point?

Speaker 2 (07:56):
I thought he was with the Washington at that point,
totally with you on that back gar him, protect him.
I also love that Jene and Daniel's mom went to
social media the most boy or the most yeah boy.
Mom moved possible, tweet it out, He's fine, get out there,
Come on, I'm hurt. She didn't care. No rite to
Twitter said he's fine. She stole the show just like

(08:19):
Rashi Rice. His mom steals packages.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Uh. Moving on, moving on to number six. If you
are an NFC football fan of the Giants, Panthers, are Saints,
please step to the left. Your season's over. I'm sorry.
I am officially with number six of the kickstarter announcing
the demise of the twenty twenty four season for the Giants, Panthers,
and Saints. None of you have any chance of going

(08:44):
to the postseason.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
We've you more so than me. You've slowly started to
embrace Dave Portnoy and Barstool. There was a bit he
did with frozen pizzas back during COVID where he'd see
the pizza and it didn't make the'd say so and
so pizza dead, Giants dead, Saints dead. Well that you
can face off the Panthers dead dead.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
I mean, seriously, I'm just look. I know last week
we had a conversation where we talked about who we
thought was still still hanging around. So I've decided to
periodically during the kickstarter, I'm gonna go ahead and hammer
that final nail. So there you go, NFC go bumb
bobi to the Giants Panthers and saying, you know what,
while we're at it, let's go to the AFC for
number five Patriots dead. How about the Browns dead? Jaggs

(09:32):
you won overseas still dead? How about the Titans? No pulse?
You can't assess the Tatum and this one stings a lot,
but you know what your reap, what you sew the
Las Vegas Raiders dead dead.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
I was trying to keep some hope for some teams.
We did this last week. I'm like, no, no, nobody's
really dead yet. There is not one team that you
just listed off that I can a compelling case that
they can make the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
None. Some of you are sitting here going, why didn't
you mention the Dolphins two is coming back. There's a
chance you could save yourself. You know, There's there's other
teams that have made some changes. Even the Jets do
a degree, you know, another week with DeVante Adams, the
son Retti's coming back. Don't worry. I fully plan on
mocking the living hell out of the New York Football

(10:25):
Jets at some point during today's show. But if you
get a team that has some kind of change, like
with the Rams, even I look at them, the coaching
is so solid, and there's a couple of players, like
a Cooper Cup comes back. Who knows. But the teams
that we have put a nail, the final nail on
the coffin those eight I just don't see any way
that they can change everything. If any one of those

(10:45):
makes the postseason, I will I will do a full
apology on the radio to.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Them, Halloween's not too far away. If you pull a
zombie move one of those teams, we will recognize the
zombie like move you've they made. I don't believe it either.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Number four. It was a magic It was special. You
have nothing to be ashamed of, except for the fact
that some of you still talk trash to me. Mets
magical season comes up just short as they lose to
the Los Angeles Dodgers, meaning that the Dodgers will move
on to face the Yankees. Mets, you did good, you

(11:22):
did real, real good, but you didn't do good enough,
as you will not be moving on to the World Series.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
One hell of a ride, Mets fans on the roller coaster.
They finally slowed down. The carneys told you to lift
your arms up. The lapt bar's gonna slightly raise. Exit
stage right here. It was a great ride. This is
a legendary season. You didn't have the horses, you didn't
have the horse power, you didn't have the type of talent.

(11:50):
The Dodgers have been building for nearly a decade, a
really good team, a ton of free agents. I'm sure
we'll talk about during the show today. Where the franchise
goes for twenty twenty five. A lot of things are
going to be moving for the Mets, but that was
a legendary season by this franchise.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Legend Waite for it yary. Congrats Mets, though, very very
very good. Number three. I don't know how to put
this gently, so I'm just gonna say it for what
it is. The Giants suck. The Giants are just bad.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
I thought you were to kill them, Levek, You're kind
of like dead.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
But they are New York teams, so they get their
own number. The Eagles win twenty eight to three. Saquon
Barkley gets biz Nizzy seventeen carries one hundred and seventy
six yards, one touchdown on the ground, also two catches
for eleven yards in the air. Jalen Hurts Jalen Hurts

(12:48):
goes in for the touchbush at one point, and I'm
on the top of my head, I don't know who
number three. I think it was for the Giants. Maybe
it was I think it was number three on defense
something like that. Maybe maybe it wasn't. I don't I
don't know, but he was. Yeah, Deontay Banks for the
defense is standing not even jump pile jumping, not even

(13:08):
he's standing four or five feet away? How do you
expect this to stop? That? Look? How do you what
do you want me to do there? What do you want?
He had the best seas in the house to not
try and stop the toushbuck.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
The Giants got their butts kicks. But my biggest takeaway,
and later on the show discuss it, I'm not so
much disappointed in that team as I am with a
lot of giant fans and what you all did over
the weekend got some issues with some of you. You
might be one of them. I won't discuss that a
little later in the show.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah, we definitely have to talk about some things. There's
some Daniel Jones stats that well, they're disgusting. Moving on
to number two. If you think that was bad, imagine
playing so terribly awful that a subpar Russell Wilson looked
like he actually played football again. The New York Jets
the team we just we just need to do this.

(13:59):
We just need to add Adams, we just need to
fire Sala. We just need to bring back Reddick. We
just need it. We just need it. You just need
to score more points than the other teams. We just
need to do and still haven't done it. Thirty seven
fifteen the most points the Steelers have scored, I believe
since Roethlisberger's rookie season or something. It's a ridiculously long time.

(14:19):
I made that up, but it's a long time. It's
a long long time. I know they had thirty two
last week with thirty seven, long long time, and now
Steelers fans walking around like they're special because you beat
a Jets team that's a complete and total disarray. Couldn't
tackle Naji Harris. There, they're the ones who can't tackle
Naja Harris. The Jets defense. Jets stink.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
When those first few throws to Rogers and Adams looked
a bit off, looked like it wasn't working, I knew
they were toasted.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
I should have.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Known going into that game that one wide receiver to
have that type of impack with a coach being fired
and everything else, couldn't change that. Jet fans. This is
about as depressing as it gets today.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
I know there's a.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Lot of great New York stories to talk about today,
you want to talk about a depressing one. You feel
like you've had your team do everything possible and you
might be in the same spot or far worse than
what you were seasons ago. Let me throw this side
to you out there. What if Aaron Rodgers fires? Whatdy
Johnson and Aaron Rodgers now owns the team? That's the

(15:21):
only thing left. There's nothing left. There's nothing left. I
need a few more mints on those guys today too.
We got a lot lot cooking today, just like Russell's
last night.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
He's cooking. Which is in it? Naji Harrison had one
hundred and six yards against the crabby Raiders, one hundred
and two yards against the crabby Jets, and now all
of a sudden, Steeler fans feels vindicated, feels like he's good.
Mike Tomlin's looking in the corner going abracadabra. Yeah, it's
magic and we all know it.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Fantasy football managers who have Naji Harris, do you even
think he's good? This has been a weird year in fantasy.
You started me like, yo, God, Harrison, my bad. No,
some of those yards. It feels like he's getting garbage
time too.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
You're like, well, couldn't get anybody else. I got naughty here.
Number one in the cd TA Kicks starter, the New
York Yankees are headed back to the World Series.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
But back was this yelling expletives out loud.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
I appreciate it. Yeah, that's what's up, dude. Come on now,
it has been since two thousand and nine. Brother. I
was with Benny Ice this morning. The Red Sox fan
Yankee haters.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Is he born in nine?

Speaker 1 (16:31):
He's like he was like two or something like that.
And I love it. I love Red Sox fan.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Oh every Yankees fan. I only talks about history. With
their twenty seven World Series whatever have you noticed? Red
Sox fan has become history professor lately. They know the
last time the Yankees were in the World Series.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
They can't quite put their finger on the last time
the Red Sox won without cheating, but they know it
happened at least once. I'll tell you right now. They're back, baby,
And if you aren't the New York Yankees in the
Los Angeles I got a healthy portion and shut up
up over here for you. Take a big spoonful and
shut your mouth and know your role. You a bunch

(17:10):
of jabbronis.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Did you cash a future ticket on that? By the way,
A Yankees preseason American League Championship Pennant play a Dodgers
Yankees plus your cash at rivers. Uh, how much did
you cash this weekend?

Speaker 1 (17:22):
You want another number?

Speaker 2 (17:23):
No, I don't, no, I don't hit.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
A square with our buddy Dave McCall.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Oh my gosh, I forgot the square.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
And then, just to be a jerk, I was standing
with Delley. I threw a twenty dollars bill in the
Wheel of Fortune machine at one hundred bucks. Everything's coming up, Lavac,
except for the Raiders. They suck, But the rest of
it is all here for me. And that's right. Yankees.
You keep going, You keep going. A may or may
not have called somebody outside of the state of New York.
Maybe just waiting for that judge MVP as well. Maybe

(17:53):
maybe Yankees going to the worlds.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Let's go, Let's go Yankee Vans, Like Levac, teen years
is a long wait. The weight is over. That celebration
was epic. We got Yankees Dodgers in the World Series.
You thought the Nlcs and Alcs were awesome. You thought
Soto's home run that feels like it's been in a movie.
You think Otani's blast sit the old butts down on

(18:15):
the couch, boys and girls, You're about to have an
all time classic world series coming.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
The twelfth time the two have met in the World Series.
So for the Yankees have one to eight out of
the eleven. Let's mark it nine out twelve. Let's go
n out twelve. That is your CDTA kick Starter getting
this Monday underway here at Fox Sports Radio ninety five
to nine and at nine eighty how to feel? Was that? Right?

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Is at the best Kickstarter of the year right there.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
I mean I didn't hate it. I mean there's some
parts in there I didn't like. I had to put
a final nail on the Raiders coffin. That was a
good time. And O'Connell broke his freaking thumb yesterday. I
means I got more Gardner minshew, And they're gonna have
to go sign somebody to be the other quarterback for
four to six weeks. Yeah, I got I gotta. I
got problems too, guys. It's not all winning money on
slot machines and everything over here. Some you know, someone

(19:03):

you know what since I started? What do you want
to do? You want to go Yankees next? I think
we should?

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, of course you Yankees World Series?

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yankees next. Fox Sports Radio ninety.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
It's Avac and Godz on ninety nine Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Ah. Yeah, it's Monday here at the GT Toy studio.
And feel a little bad about the mats I do
I like the Mats. I like the Mets fans for
the most part, but I feel great as a Yankees fan.
I actually like it. You know, I can't remember the
last time that as a Yankee fan. We got here

(20:38):
and here of course, meaning about to start the World
Series this Friday, which I don't know why we're waiting
so long, but whatever, not my problem. And what's the
little guy who hangs out with Colin Cowherd every.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Day chasing McIntire, That little guy, right.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
And he's got the big desk with a little of
a big desk. Yes, So they were they were talking
about the bullpen for the Dodgers and like how they
they won and they won bullpen games, and little guy,
little McIntyre, little little McIntosh apple said, uh yeah, but
that wasn't the Yankees, that was the Mets. And I

(21:15):
was like, ooh, I like that, Like I like it,
Like I'm I'm used to people telling me why my
Yankees are gonna lose. I'm not used to national guys
going yeah, sure, that bullpen gimmick worked against the Mets.
Let's see where against a real team like the Yankees.
Like I don't necessarily agree, like I think the Mets
are a real team. I think they proved it, you know,

(21:37):
more than once, several times as a matter of fact,
over the course of the of the season. However, I
liked hearing it. I did. You must like hearing the
fact that it's a bullpen gimmick.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
No, no, no, I have reversed course of reversed action
on the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
You have, game you have. But let's say here, here's why.
Let's say the third or the third game Yankees are up,
it's one one third game, Dodger, you go bullpen the
Yankees smoke them. How quick do you come in here
and tell everybody? Want to joke the bullpen games are.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
I can't wait three oh one, I'll do it. And
I want to make sure for also to clarifying take,
I still feel like I do believe in my take
that bullpen games are stupid dot dot dot parentheses. Unless
you're the twenty twenty four Dodgers, then they're still stupid
because the bullpen that they put out there and the
absolute heat that comes from those guys who are throwing,

(22:31):
who are former starters in first round picks and everything else. Oh,
it's a little bit different, but I do believe. I
actually like Jason McIntire's take too. Offensively, the New York
Yankees lineup is far different power wise than the New
York met lineup with Soto and Judge and Stanton. You
want to throw a hundred at these guys, do it,

(22:53):
They'll send it to Pluto. I want to see one
of these guys connect and take win deep. That's why
this World Series is to be so good. Because you're
gonna have flamethrowers for the Dodgers, potentially taking on some
of the best power bats in baseball. You're gonna have
the cat and mouse game between Boone and Roberts. Wow
out loud, that felt. We are talking about Aaron Boone
and Dave Roberts's managers in a legendary playoff series.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Right, instead of instead of them in the uh on
the field, you've got all the two teams.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
You've get you get a match up in baseball that
arguably you never get when you get the two best
players facing off. Sometimes we get in football, but football
is different. It's defense versus offensive defense, like we've seen
Brady and Manning. We never got Lebron versus Kobe, but
we've had matchups where the best faced off against the best.
We get Otani versus Judge at the plate, and who knows,

(23:48):
maybe we'll get it on the mound. We saw Otani
versus Trout and a World Baseball Classic. But Yankee fans,
here is that moment. How often have we sat here
in October talked about the future of a manager, of
the future of a team, the future of Brian Cashman,
all those things. Hell, I did it to you two
weeks ago about the Royals when the royalster pushing the
Yankees and think it they need this one. You can't

(24:09):
finish the season against the Royals. And now you get
a matchup against the Elle Dodgers in the Fall Classic
to try to bring home another championship, and Dodger fans,
we can do that storyline later in the week. Dodger
fan's gonna look at a Yankee fan and be like, Oh,
you guys think you're under pressure. You guys think you
need to win it all? Have you watched our franchise
the last ten years? We actually talking to Dodger fans.

(24:32):
I'm not a Dodger fan, but.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
We want you pretty natural over there.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
We won a World Series and people said it didn't
count because it was during COVID.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, but you were those people. You were those people.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Mean, yeah, you the Laker COVID Championship. Yeah, because and
I don't think you mean it. I think you're just
being hot takey. You're right, I mean you can it. No, no, no,
it was different. I mean Lebron's championships are a lockout,
shortened season, a COVID season. Greatest shot and greatest comeback,
those are Lebron's. Clinton Kershaw's a bum. I'll stick by that,

(25:11):
but he said, of all the champ Dodger fan does
have for.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Years, it's different. Though not every year possesses that there's
a challenge that wasn't there the year before.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
I would say Dodger fan does not feel completed by
having just one World Series and it being the COVID one.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Well that's what the world's become, though nobody can have one.
Like you can't just sit there and like, oh, I
got one, I'm good. You gotta go get them all.
It's like Pokemon, man, I go, I gotta get them all.
I want them, I want all of them. Like like
if it was if it was real, realistically speaking, it

(25:46):
should be whoever is the reigning and defending So right now,
the Texas Rangers and the New York Yankees, those should
be the only two teams to talk about World Series.
And yes, because we have twenty seven, so like you know, somebody,
we until somebody gets twenty eight, which we're gonna do
this year, which means you gotta get twenty nine. We
can go scoreboard. We can go scoreboard. You haven't caught

(26:09):
us yet. That's just the truth of it. Like you
can do something we haven't done before, and then you
can say that, oh, we won four in a row
or whatever, like okay, cool, that's awesome, that's boom, that's
yours scoreboard. But like, realistically speaking, Dodgers, Cardinals, red Socks,

(26:29):
all of you. You you have nothing to say right now.
You have nothing to say right now. The Rangers can
run their mouths until until the deciding game six. Five. Yeah,
he's in five, So the siding game five of this series,
Rangers can go, whoa, there's only this mountaintop's only got

(26:50):
room for one baby, that's us. So you get pushed
off at one of these two teams. But everybody, like
Dodgers fan, oh man, they're upset. They only have to
wonder covid I'll take it. If you don't want it,
I'll take it. I love winning. It's my favorite thing.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Even though I'm an Oriole fan, even though I root
for the Orioles. I could take my fandom out of
this for a second and say, I have not been
this excited for a World Series since twenty sixteen Cubs
and then Indians or both those franchises. We're looking to
break down. First, there was something new this one.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
There's a lot of new. Have you seen all the
new new stuff going on with this one? So the
first time in Major League Baseball history both teams have
a fifty home run hitter.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Pretty impressive.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
If everything goes expected and Otani and Judge win the MVPs,
it's the let me see one, two, three, four five,
six times, seventh time that's happened. He believed that. I mean,
it makes sense. Okay, you have the best player in baseball,
you go to the World Series, one, two, three, four five,

(27:57):
it's happened six times before you're one of them.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
It's pretty impressive. I actually I don't know what to
do with that stat.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Boog Powell and Johnny Bench nineteen seventy Boog.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Very Tasty Barbecue.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Fredlin, Joe Morgan seventy five, Joe Morgan, Thurman Munson seventy six,
The Year of My Birth, George Brett, Mike Schmidt in
eighty Conseco and Gibson in eighty eight, Kirk Gibson with
the I Don't hit with my feet home run buster,
Posey mcgaugarbre in twenty twelve, and now Otani and Judge
twenty twenty four. Let's go.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
It's gonna be so great.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
It really is.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Like you look at those other World series in the past.
I know Boston played the Dodgers back in twenty eighteen,
that Red Sox team was stacked. We've seen Houston a
bunch and another ties like Capital Region for the Tri
City Valley Cats and Ian Anderson representing the Braves in
twenty twenty one. Those are all wonderful storylines. They're great,
the Mets in twenty fifteen getting there playing against the Royals.
But this is two legendary franchise with Levec just said,

(28:58):
legendary players arguably a prime of their career, who have
built for this moment. Massive markets. Uh Dodger fan and
Met fan. Now I could squeeze this and as great
as Game six was NLCS wise and the hype around
two huge markets, I would have liked that game to
be on Fox rather than Fox Sports one. Did we
really need the premiere of the thirty eighth season of

(29:19):
The Simpsons to be on Fox and not the NLCS?

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Okay, was a treehouse of horror?

Speaker 2 (29:27):
I don't think out of Maybe it.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Was a treehouse of horror. Yes, I love Treehouse of Horror.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
But other than that, I watched the game anyways, it
didn't matter. I don't know if people even care about
that stuff. But people who are gonna complain about the rain?
Oh the ratings weren't great, but just a joy enough
enough enough. This is a great world series that's on
the way involving these two franchises.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Can wait? Cannot wait? U? You have prediction? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (29:52):
I would take the Yankees in seven. I think it's
coming down to a seventh game, seven game World Series.
The Yankees win in seven because we've seen now the
Dodgers play in their fourth World Series since twenty sixteen,
so four since twenty seventeen. They're one and two. I
would push them to one and three. The Yankees haven't

(30:14):
played in one, So the Dodgers, I've seen him, been there,
done that with a choke job, and I get it.
Houston was a game seven lost. Uh, they lost the boss.
The Boss had beat him up pretty good actually though.
But I've seen the Dodgers blow this before, so I
would take the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Oh, they're doing the three and fourth thing.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Well, I don't know what you meant by that?

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Is that how I think who's who's home?

Speaker 2 (30:41):
I believe the Dodgers would be the home team. No,
with ninety six wins this season. Are you asking about
the schedule. Yeah, the Dodgers get home for Game one
in Game two, Yankees get home for Game three, in
Game four and Game five, and then back to LA
for six and seven.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Okay, oh so two three two? Okay what he said
four or three?

Speaker 2 (31:05):
I'm like, oh gosh, is this COVID again really just
due to me?

Speaker 1 (31:08):
And throw him off with that team all on Fox? Yeah,
two three two starting Friday Friday. Also, you know Friday
is Friday.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
We're out live at Stewart's talking about high school game
of the Week. Well, sound coach is going jonas coach
a dine schedule Jonas Friday.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Also uh won SODA's twice sixth birthday.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Happy Birthday, wants Soda Friday?

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Man, this is how about having how about having Thursday
Halloween off too?

Speaker 2 (31:37):
I think it's actually a very smart idea.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
I don't love it.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Capital lies in the rainy. Put a Friday Saturday. If
you go to game six and game seven. We got
a mister November feel to it. Potentially, if there if.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
There is a game, if there's a game seven Saturday,
November second, eight oh eight. Mind you you can't commit
to anything because you could. You're on you're on call.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
We are on full baby watch starting Thursday.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
But really told baby Watch starting now? I mean yes,
but I'm paranoid, like I was. I'm the one who, like,
you know, the day you guys told me, I was like,
all right, guy with the backpacks, what's the what do
we already paid the nursery? What are we looking at here?
What are you doing? Boy girl? How many letters is
the name? Three? Okay? Cool?

Speaker 2 (32:21):
My wife put me at ease. She said, hey, no
one told us when our first son was coming. So
I was like, uh, is that supposed to put me
at ease? I don't Yeah, you're right, Okay.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
No one tells us nothing with Theslowski. It's funny how
stubborn you are about everything, and this is the one
thing where you're just like, I don't know. I need
to know what it's arriving. If your child is born
the day of the Yankees win the World Series, can
I have it as a or him? We know it?

(32:54):
To him, I don't say it. Can I have him
as a Yankee fan?

Speaker 2 (32:56):
I think the influence can start?

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Yes, all right, he's going to be born in.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
A very high level of sports West right now. My
youngest his birthday will be celebrated on the Super Bowl
this year. His birthday is February ninth, twenty twenty five.
He'll be two. So we've got some nice sports themes
for these boys.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Would the Raiders year is cool? But I wouldn't until
they until they pull their heads from their rumps. I
wouldn't do that due kid, but the Yankees, I will.
I would totally like Boston Dan. I'm secretly converting his
son into New York Connor. So I'm working on it.

(33:37):
It's working. It's a slow process because you have to
do it right. You go too fast, Mama, daddy bird
will push baby bird out of the nest and then
it ruins everything. We gotta convert the bird slowly.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
You know, speaking about age here. Your daughter is twenty one, correct,
you want to talk about age differences. She has not
seen a World Series and she was six years old.
Like there are kids who are now fully grown adults
who are about to watch this bit. Oh, I remember
when I was a kid, I watched the Yankees. I
know that sounds like an insult. It's not. It's a
compliment of I had a memory when I was younger.

(34:11):
I get to relive this again. It feels like when
we're younger sports fans and younger people, those games sit
in our minds and lasts with us a lot longer.
You might have that for young sports fans coming up
here for Yankee.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
From what two to twenty one, So it's two years
old when they won in seventy eight, and then they
want to get in ninety six. But like here's here's
there's there's two parts of this. I used to love
doing that. The Red Sox fan.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
My poor grandfather lived eighty five years and never saw
a Red Sox world.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Say, I always do that, like my daughter is gone
since she was six. She hasn't see a Yankee World Series,
and hell is she now eight? You know I would
do that, but like, here's the worst part of it all.
She does not care. Ah, alright, the sports gene. It
just there's the only way for her to care about

(35:00):
sports is if she can rub my nose in something
like she chose the Ravens over the Raiders in a
game where the Raiders beat the Ravens that we were
at live and then with the Yankees, it's like, oh,
that's cool. You know. She just doesn't like she knows
she's a Yankee fan. But like the only time she's
truly a Yankee fan is if I take her to
Yankee Stadium and spend enough scene amount of money on her.

(35:23):
Like she has pins from every time she's been She's
like a collection of pins all that stuff. But like
I haven't taken her like two three years because it's
too expensive. I think about this. I took my daughter
and her boyfriend to Disney twice, not the Yankee Stadium once,
because she makes Yankee Stadium Disney expensive for me to

(35:43):
make sure she has fun and wants to go again.
She's got the we've got the certificate for her first game.
We got the whole nine, and she says like, yeah,
it's cool. I don't whatever. You know, if somebody else
shows up and they're like a die hard sports fan
and she wants to get under their skins, she's a
Yankee fan. But that's about it.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
A Friday Dan Show torture, Dan, I have to remember
that keep my legions break too much about Syracuse in
front of her again, Uh, Levac for you personally, not
only a fifteen year wait, but this could be the
backyard cigar whisk a Friday, Friday Saturday A game one

(36:22):
six ' seven. I mean, whether it's beautiful in the
Capitol region today for the rest of the week and
maybe who knows.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Late October in ninety six, my buddy Mark and I
had this like crazy apartment just outside of Arbor Hill,
but it was it was the place like everybody from
my work went there and we had a Halloween party
that happened to be the night that the Yankees beat
the Braves in ninety six. That party went from like

(36:50):
one police visit to getting shut down. It was amazing.
I would love to relive that. I don't know if
I can survive it. We had two half kegs, yeah,
and we had the next day we had no half
kegs and and three sinks that didn't work for some reason.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
I'm doing the math in my head. Wait a second,
I wonder why the police did come here. Ninety six
twenty eight.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
It was a lot. It was a good different time
in the nineties. Like everyone like the next day, like
literally like days later. It's like y'all had to throw
up in sinks, couldn't use toilets. Everybody had to throw
up in a sink. Plumbers plumber's dream in that place,
hundreds and hundreds of dollars just to get rid of
whatever was in there.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Take that adjective of legendary however you want, whether it's
gonna influence your future sports fandom with a young sports fan,
whether it's an old fan who doesn't remember when these
teams faced off again, maybe remember when they were kids,
now their grandfathers, or you're gonna find out why there's
puke in your sink. However you want to view this
upcoming twenty twenty four World Series where you are in

(37:51):
your life right now, you will have some type of memory.
I'm fired up for this. I wanted this one's my
Orioles got knocked out. I wanted Yankees donors. So we're
gonna get into sports fans.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
We may have to go out on the second. If
it's a game seven, we may have to go out.
We may have to do it even though you're on call. Well,
just might have to make sure that somebody's available to
drive you.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
You know what we might have to do. I have
to have a party at the Kazlowski house. That way,
if I call too much of a mess, would be causing.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
To keep I love you to death. I'm he imagine
getting rowdy drunk with a what was she a thirty
eight week pregnant woman at that point, Todd gonna happen? Yeah,
I mean spot, I mean that's that feels that, that
feels wrong, That feels like I'm overstepping at.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
That point, too selfish for all of us.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, maybe you know, maybe we find a place a
little closer to your house. Maybe that's what we.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
Do my sister in law's place. They've used my house
long enough, haven't they.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
I'm in got a chance to go up to a
Mohawks Chevrolet today to hang out with everybody day and
Susan and everybody in Man Chevrolet because I don't forget Wednesday,
we're doing the show live at Chevrolet.

Speaker 2 (38:56):

point eight about what's going down at Mohawks. You ever

But that's okay. Watches our clock now, Dare you watch ours?

Speaker 1 (41:03):

Speaker 2 (41:04):
Here's my rant because I'm gonna get to the Jets
later in the show. I promise you we're gonna get
to the Giants. We'll talk bills. We got a lot
of football still to cover. I know the NBA tips
off tomorrow. Here's my rant. I'm gonna jam into the
show right here. WNBA New York Liberty, WNBA champions Man.
That was not good. That was not a good performance.
R I know, it's like a bad thing to say,

(41:25):
like you're not supposed to anybody who criticizes the WNBA
is a horrible part. That was a bad game last night.
That was doubt what she wanted. Some of the clips
from the game are going viral for all the wrong
reasons and for all the people who said, Ah, Caitlin
Clark has made the league a bunch of money. She
probably has. But the reports are now out that the
WNBA is a business loss fifty million dollars this year.

(41:48):
Some are saying it's closer to forty million. Do you
still want to brag about that the league lost forty million.
How how do you have Caitlyn Clark angel reasent all
these people and you're fumbling the bag as people like
to say, how did she was a league lose forty million?
You needed those private flights?

Speaker 1 (42:03):
That bad?

Speaker 2 (42:04):
What is happening? How are you still losing that much money.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
As a league.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
And then to top the whole thing, off the four
Letter Network. Oh, the four Letter Network. They're creating superstars
all the time. We're the best. Really, Oh, we love
female athletics the greatest, but really, here you go, championship
deciding game, your coveted product, women's pro basketball, maybe college,

(42:29):
but women's here's your moment. You love bragging about how
much Caitlyn Clark was watched. She has no doubta phenom.
But the most important games for Caitlyn Clark, they flipped
them over to EBC. It did the little ratings trick. Hey,
we're gonna have a bigger audience for this game because
we put it on EBC. Some people care about that,
some people don't. But you drive up revenue. You know

(42:51):
what ESPN and ABC did to the WNBA last night. Nah,
we're gonna We're not gonna put you on EBC. We
have reair a nineteen ninety three film, hocus Pocus. It's
between the w NBA Finals deciding game or a rerun

(43:11):
of hocus Pocus two weeks before Halloween season two weeks away.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
We're kind of like WNBA.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
We're airon hocus Pocus. That's what we're doing. What if
everybody fumbled?

Speaker 1 (43:24):
Can I write a joke for you? Can write a
joke for you, real quick? Okay, all right, I pretend
I'm guys. This is why I've been telling you they
need a nine foot rim because people would rather watch
three women fly on brooms than ten women not be
able to dunk on ten feet rims. Wow. Wow, guys,

(43:45):
that was a good joke.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
You know, I'll put that in the whole start. I'm
gonna go back to that one. We're gonna bring that
out here, the materials right in itself. I don't want
to come out I.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Don't agree with you, and I had to do that joke.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
I don't want to jam in a four minute w
NBA ran out of packed week with baseball and football.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
Yeah, because they can't jam it in the hoop from
ten feet right, it's.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
Not what I said, right, That's not what I said.
Although I did text you something along the lines of
that earlier today and I didn't think i'd mentioned it
on the air. We could all like this is I
said this on Friday Show. I want this to be
known for the lovaka Gos showed, If not known for
the lovak, at.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
Least known for me.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
We can say our favorite team plays poorly all the time.
We can say they played great all the time, but
we can't just always say one thing's always great, even
if you were the biggest WNBA supporter or defender or
college basketball. I liked it. I think that historically it
has been the greatest season women's basketball history. You can't
say last night was good because it wasn't. And everybody

(44:42):
dropped the ball. The League dropped the ball, ESPN dropped
the ball to play on the court. Everything was bad.
All of it was bad. I can't play tonight, can't
play Tuesday. You jammed it on a Sunday, just pokus.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
Well, you gotta know, you gotta know when the when
it's available, I mean the cour.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
You know that actually is a great point. The New
York Liberty were playing and there's a lot of action
going on there.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
Yeah, I'm just saying, I can't believe you said that
Peop would rather watch Barbaris Streis and fly around on
a broom than Sabrina, And ask you not dunk I didn't.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
I didn't make that call. Disney did nineteen ninety three's
Hocus Pocus NLCS re air The Simpsons. Maybe I'm nervous
about sports. I'm nervous if sports. Sports are supposed to
be the most highest rated thing on television. We're getting
season thirty eight of The Simpsons in a hocus Pocus
or e run before the NLCS and the WNBA Finals.

(45:40):
There's my rant. You know what, I'm hitting the button.
We're going to the top four to four next. No
response out of you,
