What do you think of Johnny? I don't hear some free notes.

Yeah, I wouldn't be okay if it was only chips with chips as a starter.

Chips as a starter.

ESPN New York.

Streaming live on YouTube.

Is it fair to say you never know where we're going to wind up going during the course of the show?

Never. Do you love that or do you hate that?

I love it.

My favorite shows of the year, the bouncy shows where we go all over the place.

Speaking of which, did you get a chance?

I'm asking it's a rhetorical question because I know you've seen it.

Which is why I love doing the show with you.

CB Buckner?

Yeah.

That debacle?

He was really wrong like six times.

Yeah.

Finally, he was like, he could tell how the jack that he was.

These stinks.

But we've known he stinks.

He took it out on Trevor's story.

But the crowd got into it too.

Did I not tell you that you're going to love ABS?

You said we love it.

We love it.

And how great is it?

This is the H.

I love this by the way.

That Raymond's dad walks around the house patting his head when he thinks his mom has made a bed call now.

Stop it, Raymond.

But so I saw my parents for the first time in several weeks.

Because that can be misconstrued.

You start touching your head like that.

No, no.

Because my father was talking about how excited he was about how the ABS and the challenge will you tap the top of your head?

Yeah.

He just starts one mother's life.

From now on, every time I disagree with you, I know you're wrong.

I'm just going to chase you around the house tapping the top of my head.

Great is that.

That is great.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But Ray, where's the replay?

I mean, we're going to need an arbitrator down to the side where he's going to make the ultimate decision.

That's for them to figure out.

And it's got to be immediate, right?

It's like they replay the pitch.

And then all of a sudden you get to three, two, one, then the swirly thing, then ball or strike.

Then you have the crowd cheering.

People love all this making it.

It's so good.

I really is good.

You have someone throwing out now because of it.

It's so good.

I mean, Aaron Judges hitting home runs because they're overturning pitches.

Yeah.

You got a good eye now, right?

Or you got a good catcher.

I saw a selfie Perez has been taking advantage of it too.

I just, I mean, you could tell that CB Buckner's feelings got hurt.

Well, I mean, he's got a baddie is that he's missing this many.

I love that selfie Perez.

They didn't even look at the entire.

He just tapped it.

He didn't have to.

He's so good.

He didn't have to.

He's like, no, that's, that's a strike.

Well, it doesn't slow down the game.

You go from challenging it to the answer in like 15 seconds.

By the way, though, have you seen some of the videos?

Like, so this video is coming out now.

Like, what would this game, you know, what would this game have been like if they had ABS?

Right.

Some of the strike calls.

I think it was a, I think it was an old Braves game.

I think it was, it might have been, I don't know if it was a World Series game.

Some of the calls were so blatantly awful.

Really?

Oh, my God.

Like the pitch is like, like almost like six inches outside.

Like almost a foot outside.

And the guy's like, bangin' him out.

There's crazy, like Enrico Palazzo bangin', like punching him out.

Yeah.

Listen, the uphairs are great.

Like they're good.

It's very hard to do this.

It's so hard to do.

And you're talking about like, and again, I mean, that's, I don't know.

I have heard some negativity a little bit where it's like the tiniest sliver of the ball is on the line.

So it's a strike.

It's like, okay, but listen, it's a strike.

It's the zone they measure.

The strike is a strike.

It's a strike.

And it's good.

And it keeps you engaged.

And I don't see a downside to it right now.

No, but it also, and it also, I mean, you're also now, there's a level of accountability on the uphairs.

You got to make sure, like, this is so good.

Oh, I think I'd be really, really dialed in.

Right, like this guy has a certain zone, and this guy has a certain zone.

Which I'm sure exists anymore.

Right, which I'm sure pictures loved.

Right?

I mean, I'm sure that pictures back then that they love that.

Like, I know this guy's going to give me a certain amount on the inside of the plate.

Right, right.

But really, in essence, an umpires is irrelevant now.

Right.

Right strikes.

So now you're, but they're framing pitches doesn't, doesn't really matter.

Um, no, it doesn't, but I guess it could also, I mean, I guess it could maybe a little bit if you're so good at it.

That you fool them and then they don't, they don't challenge it or they get or they do challenge it.

And then all of a sudden, now you're out of, and they bought up something interesting yesterday.

Did you even know this?

I didn't know this till yesterday.

And maybe I wasn't as dialed into ABS as you were, because you were so excited for it.

Very excited.

Okay.

You would think, right?

That I have two challenges.

So yesterday in the meds game, they each team had a successful challenge and they both had a failed challenge.

So they only have one challenge left for the game.

Right.

That you would want to make sure that going into, if this game's close or tied and we're going at the extra endings,

I want to make sure I still have that challenge because now we're like, this is, it's extra baseball here.

Did you know that if I use my challenges the right way, and I still have a challenge or two going into the 10th ending?

And the other team has already used their two.

They get a challenge for the 10th for extra endings.

So if it goes extra as they get a challenge.

Right.

I don't get an extra one.

So if I have one left, I don't get a second one.

The other team gets one and I just keep mine.

That made me revisit.

I didn't know that.

I mean, don't you feel like that needs to be revisited?

I've done a good job with my challenges.

I got one left.

I saved them.

But I think it's the same thing with like plays in the field, right?

Like not ABS challenges, but plays in the field.

You get an extra challenge if you go to extra endings.

Right, but I'm not getting an extra, but I should get an extra one then.

You should get an extra one then, yes.

Right. So I should have two and you should have one.

So each team gets two challenges.

Yep.

The challenge is retained if the call is overturned.

So you can be wrong once.

You can be wrong once.

You're wrong once.

You get another.

You're wrong twice.

You're out.

Unless I guess you go to extra endings, then you would acquire another one.

Right.

But the team that already, but the team that has one left in the pocket doesn't get an extra one.

Right.

So if the team has no challenges left entering an extra inning,

they receive one additional challenge per inning.

So yeah, so you get an extra one.

And I get.

And from that, it sounds like you would get an extra one every inning, right?

That's what you said per inning.

So if you're wrong in the tenth, you get another one in the eleventh.

I guess.

I'm reading it from the rulebook of a team has no challenges left entering an extra inning.

They receive one additional challenge per inning.

So if you're using the tenth and it doesn't work, you get it for the eleventh as well.

Okay.

So you got to use it.

If I know I'm getting one in the eleventh, I got to use it in the tenth.

Absolutely.

Just like I would use it.

Well, just like if I had it in the ninth, then I would definitely be like, listen, we only got.

If this thing's going to tell me we're going to get one anyway in the tenth, then we're not going to.

I'm going to accumulate.

I'm going to use it.

I would use such a petty jerk, though.

I would like the final pitch of the game, I would challenge it.

Just to use it.

Even it was right down the middle.

You know what?

I want to delay their celebration.

Let me challenge it.

I don't know.

You're right, though.

Right down the right.

Right.

Like the catch it and move the glove goes right in the middle of the box.

I'd be like, we'd like to challenge that.

Well, that happened to my head.

That was the yield trend.

With the curve ball from Wayne Wright, I would have to tap my hat.

Be like, let's challenge it.

Perfect.

Perfect curve ball.

You get bottom.

I don't care.

No, I got to check.

I just just make sure.

Just, you know what?

I just want a confirmation.

I could have sworn that looked.

I could have sworn that looked like it was a confirmation.

You imagine you win a game.

You're on the field.

You're running around celebrating.

And then he's like, no, I'm not sure.

Well, they overturn it.

Well, that just happened.

I mean, it did wasn't that good.

He was halfway.

He was at first base.

I know.

And you could see the pitcher clearly did it.

And then it was just they took a second to do it.

And then the manager got all pissed off.

He got kicked out.

I like it.

I think for the most part, everyone likes it.

Oh, I'm sure the empires don't like it.

So we got so much going on.

We got the Mets and yesterday.

We got the Yankees and their three and O's start.

We got the college basketball.

We got St. John's Friday and the Duke Yukon game yesterday.

We got the Knicks and their loss last night.

We got everything going on.

We have a phone line to reflect this in every different direction.

So let's get to some of the calls.

800-919-3776.

Let's go to Hector and Queens.

Hector, good morning, your IDSP in New York.

Hey, good morning, guys.

I'm going to actually a Yukon fan.

I'm all over the place this morning.

I'm so excited.

You must be.

I know you're a Duke sympathizer.

That's disgusting in my opinion.

Oh, no.

He really didn't do Yukon's house to give you.

Oh, he picked you.

Justice this morning.

Yeah, it's what, but he's because he picked you.

It's because he picked you.

What did I do terribly this morning?

What did I do terribly this morning?

The worst analysis I ever heard this morning.

You tried to kill my joy this morning.

And I did not appreciate it.

Well, okay.

What was so wrong with my analysis?

You gave complete credit to the loss to Duke instead of giving like...

Well, because that's how I feel.

Yukon mostly.

I just added.

I didn't understand it.

You know?

Because that's how I feel.

I feel like...

Listen, I give Yukon credit for hanging around.

Duke lost that game.

Duke's MO has been collapsing.

Collapse in the big moments.

I want you to take the scoreboard for each half.

You know what I mean?

I'm just gonna share the law.

Anyways, thank you guys.

I'm just gonna show you attacking me.

You want me to attack you.

I want you to attack you.

I should be thrilled with it.

I did not think you were the better team yesterday.

You're trying to wet blanket as excitement.

I'm sorry.

Well, good thing I'm here.

I'm here to...

Peed down as leg.

Oh.

Duke had a chance to win that game 50 times.

They gagged, they collapse.

Team...

I mean, teams who are 1.34 and...

Oh, being up by 15 plus points.

Right.

In the second half.

So it's the first time it's ever happened.

It's great for Yukon. You should be thrilled.

But you also, but you got to recognize too, and I'm not

disagreeing with you because, again, I think you're, you're

partially right. You do on the other side of it have to

continue to play and give the other team a reason to melt

down. Oh, and I give Yukon credit for keeping their heads in

the game when they were not playing a very good basketball game.

It also executing on that last play. Yes. But, but did Duke win

that game or did they, like, did you kind of win that game or

did Duke lose that Duke lost that game? I think it was a

combination of the both. I mean, I don't want to lean. I

think that Duke was, I think if we're, I think we're

going to establish a, a blind pie, I think that the bigger

slice would go to Duke. It would be a heaping slice. Yeah.

I mean, that's, it would be like after a funeral kind of a

slice. Like, oh, that's a big slice. Right. This is then, and

this is after you're already ate the chips and the baloney

sandwich. Right. Well, you're here for the food. So we're

going to give you a big slice of pie. I do love pie.

They had nachos. I had scream cake at that stuff though. I love

ice cream cake. I had nachos yesterday. I'm on a real downward

spiral. You're really in the midst of one, aren't you? Yeah.

Well, you know what I did? And this is, this happens, I think,

I, I wanted nachos, but I felt guilty about ordering nachos. So

I talked to my wife and I was like, you know, who loved the

nachos? The kids will love the nachos. So you know, you had

the order for the kids and you ate them all? Well, yeah,

because no one of the kids really, we're really going to like

the nachos. I was going to eat the nachos. And I was like, I

can't let the nachos go to waste. So I really, we easily think

to do, you know, that it's, is that, is that any of the time

for eating your wife, your pregnant wife's last ice cream? No,

you and RJ have some real issues here. Maybe I learned from

the best. Maybe it's that took a page. I said to myself, I'll

take a page, our little RJs. You got to write that on the

board. You see what you're doing now? It's not nice. Hey, you

got to do a better job of checking it. I got, I thought I

would get one past. And now it's every week. I'm getting a

checkered every hour on the hour. I got someone that sticks

around and writes it, well, you're gone. I'm starting to

wonder. I'm starting to wonder, somebody's on the inside.

Pay the right people. What do you think Greg's doing there?

You think Greg just hanging out? I don't doubt Greg. Greg, you

carb, you carb yourself upright, eat all the apple cinnamon

over you want. And when the time comes, you see that little guy

leave, get to the board. So you're blaming Greg? I'm not

blaming anybody. I could be Greg. It could be somebody else.

This is what happens when you create such strong relationships

inside the office. You have, you have people that are willing

to do things for you.

Unlike some people, I know, that are very, very, very highly

respected in the office, that are a little standoff is the

people. Not me. I'm not standoffish at all. You think I'm

not standoffish? Well, you're not, I mean, you're not out there

mixing it up a lot. Well, because I have a show to do. No,

there's that one. Okay. How come? Well, why is it that you you

prioritize? Hey, I got a show to do. And then everyone else in

the office just comes in whenever they want. As we're trying to

do some respect the show that I have to do. It's unbelievable. I

never seen it on Friday. It's just pop right on Thursday,

pop right in. Are you guys on? Yeah, we're on. That was

incredible. I didn't, I didn't know. What do you mean you didn't

know? We're sitting there talking on the microphone. It's like

9 9 9 13. Where would we be? What will we be doing? I'm just

going to come in. You guys are on. Yeah, we're on. Is it on?

RJ, did you see that happen on Thursday? I did not see that.

Oh, yeah, somebody opens, opens the studio door and says,

like, are you guys on the air? It's nice to ask. I gave the

finger thing first. I gave you, yes, yes, we're on. Yeah,

we're on the air because it's the showtime. That's around the

air. Oh, friend and master peak with friend. Good morning,

you're on ESPN, the arcade doing. You guys are the best before I

get on about the next guy, just tell a quick five second

funeral story. Make it good. Okay, it's phenomenal. So my

father, my friend, good friend is father passes away, mowing the

lawn at a heart attack. He passes away. We go to the funeral was

sitting there with talking to him, you know, very sad, quiet. His

brother walks up, walks away, whatever, my cousin comes up and

says to my friend, because hey, listen, pal, I want to say I'm

really sorry, but you've got to be careful because usually when

the one parent goes, the other one goes next. And we were

mortified and everybody turned looked and you know, you know,

they were over. That's why he said it. But I mean, that is just

you know, but that's that's not going to say my cousin's name

is the wacko, but that's what he said. This is your cousin that

did this at a funeral? Yeah, we're at a funeral sitting there and

my buddy walks up, we're talking to his brother is my buddy

walks up and he goes, hey, I'm so sorry, Tom, about your

father, you know, really sorry, but just keep an eye, you know,

make sure you keep an eye on your mom because they say a lot

of times, you know, your father, you know, the person dies,

right? You know, the father goes right after the mother or the

were mortified. That's going to be me, by the way. The second

Sherry goes, I'm out. Well, that's well, this didn't happen.

She wound up last and thank God, you know, you know, good.

All right, go ahead. Go ahead. But the mix of ruined the

trade with that they had and everything going great. We were on

the right to get the yellow brick road. They make a trade

give of five number ones when you know, even if it's a year

away, we might be able to get you honest. They give of five

number ones. Okay. Then they they they fired a coach. They

get rid of precious pieces, which, you know, they mean

pressure to chew a few other guys. The whole team is different.

I don't care what anybody says are much different team.

Differently coached. I am not happy as a Nick van at all.

I love them. Don't get me wrong. You know, Brunson Bob of the

whole nine yards, but it's a whole different scene. And if

we can't get you honest, this is going to set the franchise

back another 10 15 years. They'll be done. They're not getting

they might not even get out of the first round. Oh my god. You're

you're and you think they have a friend for the call. You think

I'm negative. Not like that. We're not that negative. I mean,

I'm not I'm I think I'm more realistic down the middle. He's

he's I mean, the trade for bridges is awful. Getting rid of

peaches was awful. I mean, he didn't like anything that

Nick's have done. You're going to get bouncing the first

round. Yeah, that's I mean, that is as negative you could

possibly be, I think. I mean, not getting out of the first

round, right? Yeah. Can we just again, I know that there are

people you being one of these people that don't necessarily

like some of the, you know, some of the things that we've

seen this season, certain matchups against certain teams

that you don't like. Can we at the very least like what we've

made it this far? Let can we see it in the postseason first

please? Did did you hear me crush them at all today for a

second? No, no, no, I think I said it. I'm there now. Get

me to the postseason. You're the three, the four, wherever

you're going to wind up at this point, whatever it is it is.

Let's let's get battle tested and ready for the playoffs.

That's right. I just think that I mean, we'll cross that bridge when we get to

that bridge. If there is a reason to come down on the next, I promise

you I will. I promise you. But at the moment, just get me to the

postseason. I mean, there's no there's no arguing that it feels

like a steep price to pay for a player that is

I mean, you tell me as far as importance to the team,

where Michele Bridges it sits. Important to the team is probably

fourth. Yeah, four, fifth. I mean, wherever you want to put them

for I mean, I mean, is metropolitan more important? I don't know, OG is,

Brunson is, cat is. So I mean, to give up six,

right, to give up what you gave up. You it was a bad trade. It's I mean,

it's a lot. And you didn't get the play that you saw in Brooklyn.

No, because again, you're asking me to do different things.

I understand why at the time when you're trying to, you know,

build your team to get past Boston, that you thought bringing in

bridges and having OG, like that kind of winged defense would be a

big, a huge deal against Boston. I mean, problem is is that yeah,

you beat Boston. But now, I mean, you lost the Indiana.

You lost the Indiana. And now you look at it this year and you're

uncertain what they're going to be. Right. And it also,

and it also limits your opportunity because of what you gave up to,

to do things maybe at the grandline, like those are chance you get the rant.

But because you, I mean, you gave away what you gave away from the kill bridges,

that, you know, that opportunity doesn't exist.

And now you got to figure out, right? Like we'll see this team,

go through this postseason, see how it ends up. And then,

you know, we'll cross the honest bridge when we cross the honest bridge.

And then you got to figure out, yeah, do you have, I mean,

outside of him pushing himself to New York, like if, if this is just

Janice is going to get traded, I mean, let's be honest.

Like, there will be better deals for Milwaukee than what the next

is going to be able to offer unless he demands going to the next.

Correct.

ESPN, New York programming alert tomorrow nights,

Rangers devils game can be heard in one place.

And that's the ESPN, New York app, only one place.

Download the ESPN, New York app today. So you're ready for tomorrow,

seven o'clock puck job. It's New York Rangers hockey.

And it's only on the ESPN, New York app. And if you're one of the people,

like, Oh, God, I don't know, the app is daunting. I'm telling you,

you will go from searching for the app to having the app in under 90 seconds.

It is so easy, easy. If it takes 90 seconds, you've messed something up.

They did it. Okay. I mean, that's all you really need to know. Right.

I mean, the man thought it was speciality could text message from an airplane.

Okay. So like, he figured it out.

No, but you're missing the point. We were at the height of our, of, of going up in the air.

Like, we're at the heights. We're miles into the air.

30,000 feet, though. This is not space.

That's, that's like five miles.

It, but it's not, I don't even think it's considered space.

Close.

Well, you weren't, I mean, you were, you were definitely high.

But the plane wasn't that high.

If you were higher than the plane, you were higher than the plane.

I don't know. I looked at the window and I could, I mean, I couldn't see people.

Well, I would hope not.

Yeah. That's, that's space.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

You're a space traveler, then.

Right. That's right.

It's you surprised when I got off the plane.

They didn't like study me.

Right. It's like, it's Neil Armstrong and Dave Rothenberg.

John Glenn and then me.

Yeah. R.J.

I've often thought that you should be studied.

I think we all believe you can study it.

You know what? I don't think you're being very nice.

Big study should have been the least of your problems.

I believe, I believe that after Kyle sat down with us for our meeting,

and that he also believed that you should be studied.

Kyle hates me.

Yeah.

He's like, I can't believe this bozo has a real job.

I don't think he hates you.

He hates you and bozo.

He called, R.J.

He called me a bozo.

I don't think, I don't think verbatim.

I think it was, you know, a situational context, man.

That's, that's a wonderful thing.

It's like spitting on so much.

How do you turn for bozo, but stop verbatim?

I don't think it was, it was, he was a clown.

You're gonna, you're only gonna dig this whole deep already.

R.J. I could have been any clown.

Hey, you just named a clown.

He just came up with bozo.

It could have said, Krusty, no.

He looked at me as the bozo of the clown.

Yeah.

That's, that's the most insulting of all the clowns, R.J.

He verbally spat in day's face.

Yes.

Hey, right, it's not great.

It's not great.

He opened him, slapped me across the face.

Bozo right at the bottom of the clown's ears.

Yeah.

I tried to help with, but yeah, you're right.

I don't think he has a great deal of respect.

I tried to make it back.

I don't know how John got away, Scott better.

I don't know how John got away, an unscathed after some his comments.

He was focused on the bagels.

That's why.

I didn't, I didn't hear him say that.

Yeah, John, because you are that army crawling to get back

into the conference room to get your bagel.

You know, it wasn't concerned about any of this stuff.

None of it.

So Kyle, when did your, uh,

when did your dad pass down the company?

Yeah, it's like, my dad doesn't own the company.

Oh, really?

We had to do your research, John.

Everything back then there would say otherwise.

You know, had he called me like Pennywise?

At least that's a scary clown.

But you're not a scary clown.

But, but bozo?

Guy, give, just thought, but you're not a scary clown.

Like, but I mean, bozo is a good clown.

I mean, Ronald McDonald, I would have preferred to be that.

I think who's the most successful clown?

I feel like bozo is probably the most successful clown.

Bozo's had great success.

Yes.

Right. So you're a successful clown.

Great.

I, yeah, not like, he didn't call you, uh, gay.

What's an, uh, what's a, uh,

clown that hasn't had a good run?

Joseph Grimaldi.

It could be worse.

I think we look at it as a, as a positive.

I don't, I don't see how someone calling me a clown is a,

a bozo.

They call me a clown.

It called me bozo.

I guess he could have called me like John Wayne Gacy,

who was a serial killer who dressed up as a clown.

Yeah.

That probably would have been worse.

I think we've already gone down that road with Jack,

but I was, excuse me, with Tom Bauer.

When you called him a serial killer.

So he, he gives off that look.

Anyway, RJ.

Hi.

How you doing?

That's not nice.

I'm good.

All right, bozo sending it to you for the stuff that you missed.

All right.

Thank you.

No.

That's a three-pointer.

We got it!

See ya!

Stop!

Put him in the box.

The **** you missed.

Alrighty then.

So you guys are talking about the Knicks and they are two and a half

back, which has been covered here on this program.

Or if you heard it for the first time,

you wake up, two and a half back in the Celtics,

eight to play so you can say goodbye to them.

If they used to Celtics, they would have the tiebreaker.

They would, but you got to close some ground.

Celtics, by the way, got to 50 wins last night,

with a 15-point victory over the Hornets.

Even worse for the Knicks and their fans,

Duke's McBride, finally back for the first time in a couple of months,

leaves after that collision with Lou Dort.

We don't have an official diagnosis,

but it doesn't sound great if you're reading the tea list.

I didn't look great.

Oh, no, it looked awful.

RJ, can you connect the tea list?

Connect the tea list.

I'm sorry.

All right, walk me through here quickly, Rick.

You ready?

At Houston.

That's tough one.

That could be the way they're playing well.

They're not playing well.

They've been in Houston already.

They seem like they're falling apart.

Home to Memphis win, right?

Yeah.

Perfect girl.

Home to Chicago win.

Add Atlanta.

That's another tough one.

And then home to the Celtics.

And home to Toronto.

Home to Charlotte.

So I mean, if they can win in Houston,

they'd have a chance to go potentially

to have a really good run to end the season,

but it's not gonna be easy.

Houston's out in a good place right now.

I'm really not.

Bucks, by the way, they've been a limited

from playoff contention.

We're just talking about Yanis a little bit,

so the Yanis talk will only heat up from here.

The Nuts, they snapped a 10-game losing streak.

17-point victory over the Kings.

And to see what the Raptors did,

all they do was going in.

Do they go in a 31 to zero run?

31, nothing run.

Largest in the play-by-play era,

who beat up on the Magic,

who are also kind of in it right now.

They lost 139 to 87.

That's great.

So final four set on the men's side.

Yukon, who,

other way, beaten Duke,

yesterday, obviously didn't miss that.

They also took out Michigan State.

Tom Izzo said he will not be retiring anytime soon.

Did you hear what he said?

He's like, what do I have to do?

So somebody asked him,

what do you see yourself doing in five years?

And he said, chasing a national championship.

So it doesn't seem like he's going anywhere,

which I like.

Talking about coaches.

And the future St. John's

made Rick Patino the second highest paid coach

in the biggest on the women's side.

No more in Yukon, smashed.

Number six, the six-seed Notre Dame.

They reached the women's final four,

UCLA, also into the final four.

Two more games tonight.

On ESPN, Texas, Michigan at seven.

South Carolina, TCU at nine o'clock.

The Connecticut Sun, WNBA,

have been sold to the Fertida family.

And they will relocate to Houston in 2027.

Oh, we're losing the Connecticut Sun?

Yep.

And so it sounds like they're going to switch

to the comments as their name.

So the Sun will be discontinued.

So now at one point,

there was a Houston comments.

That's what they're going back to.

I guess they don't exist anymore.

No, and they're going back.

They're going to have two Houston comments.

Well, that was a really good team, though.

It's so well-in-hused that they've had two comments.

Why didn't I know they're left?

Did you know they left?

Yes.

You knew they're,

or who is their star player back in the day?

Cheryl Swoop.

This is where he's dangerous.

Yeah, this is where he gets dangerous now.

But this is a completely pivot

and deflects the fact that he's going to be shifting.

I didn't know they left.

If you were really letting us know stuck you missed,

you would have let us know when they left.

Well, we assume that they had left

if they're bringing the Connecticut team

back to Houston and naming it the comments.

They're not bringing them back to Houston.

They never been to Houston.

Who would have home court advantage?

The franchise folded in 2008, Dave.

They folded.

They folded.

They didn't move somewhere else.

They just, they just, they stopped playing?

Yep.

Where did they play, Ray?

When the comments were the comments, yeah.

Who is the road team?

The comment?

The comments, of course.

Oh, anyways.

Matt said two or three from the pirates.

Boba Sheddy is already hearing booze from fans.

One for 14 with eight caves through three games.

But I have some good news for you.

He's striking out right now, but half the time.

However, his career strikeout rate is 14%,

which ranks in the 86% time.

I'm not even a little bit concerned.

You're not.

No.

Tell that to your fellow season ticket holders.

I don't think anybody's concerned.

I think they just frustrated in the moment.

They're booing.

Yeah, but I,

are you concerned about Aaron Judge?

Of course not.

Right.

So you'd have to be an idiot to be concerned about the shit.

A lot, a lot, a lot of people on national terms are concerned about Aaron Judge.

The shots are in a, in a lead back to ball.

Yeah.

Later.

He will come around.

He'll be fine.

Dominic Smith, former Matt, now in the Braves,

had a really nice moment.

So unfortunately,

it lost his mother about a week ago,

but hit a walkoff grand slam only a couple of days after.

He's the first ever player in a walkoff grand slam

and his first game with his new team.

I think you were going to say something different.

About Poloni San, which is there something?

No, I think it is the first player

taking a walkoff grand slam after his mother died.

Oh, dear.

What's wrong with him today?

You should be studying.

Like we just talked about the blue jays.

They swept the a's.

By the way, a lot of people send to me.

It was like helicopter, helicopter footage

of the new stadium being built.

It's actually coming along.

It's coming.

I'm not even messing with you.

It's actually coming up.

It was supposed to be.

It was supposed to be done in a month and a month ago.

Years ago, someone said you guys are so unintelligent.

I said, when do they anticipate it being ready?

And for some reason, you thought that I was saying

is it going to be ready next week?

What a nice road trip there would be.

You swing out,

when you catch the a's,

and then you go wash the comments,

when the comments.

Blue jays, they swept the a's in the process.

This is why I get the raises I get.

You do get, you know what?

You deserve more of you guys.

You deserve more of them.

The new Houston comments.

The second comments,

their arena will be done in early April.

Nice.

They're just starting.

Early April is Wednesday.

That's right.

So any, any time?

No, it's a pre-fab.

It's a pre-fab.

It's a pre-fab.

What if I told you the a's,

they lost three times the blue jays

over the weekend in the process.

They struck out 50 times.

Would you be concerned?

I'd be a little concerned.

I'd feel like at least right now.

That's the ball, RJ.

No, not at all.

Anyone else had his first save as a dad

and took his trumpets with him.

Live trumpet.

That's a live trumpet.

Not the Timmy trumpet.

No, live trumpet.

It was an imposter.

Yeah, I dodgers are three.

No, Shane Baz in the Orioles

grade will five year sixty eight million dollar contract.

Jason Hayward Roll Terry's

jammed five time gloves.

Glover.

He retires the gold nights.

They firecoaches.

Unbelieving lose Cassidy and you didn't get a phone call

towards his back, baby.

Torts is back.

Rick, have you been contacted?

Should we be worried about losing you?

It's only, it's only for the regular season

and the playoffs though.

That's it.

I like it.

He's a substitute teacher with full control.

I wonder how much of this was.

I wonder, seriously, because I know Cassidy

is one of those guys that kind of, again,

is doesn't have a long shelf life

just with how he is relationship with the players.

I wonder if Eichles.

Eichles experience with torts at the Olympics.

I didn't even do with torts being the guy

that they brought in.

That's a good tea leaf to connect.

That's how much I.

Not to mention the fact that he's one of,

I mean, he's one of.

Stanley Cup.

So, uh, Rangers Red Hat.

They beat Panthers three.

Everyone devils over Blackhawks five to three.

He spends a national team

routed by Belgium five, two, not great.

Gary Woods, a nice moment.

When the Houston Open is a first victory

since he had brain surgery.

That is a big deal for him too.

He said he was dealing with a bunch of anxiety

and everything else in the tournament.

And Max Verstaffen is considering retiring

from F1 at the end of the season.

I also have stuff he missed.

Did anyone was anyone watching any pickleball

over the weekend?

It was not.

By the way, I got to tell you.

So, I watched a bunch of people.

Not sure guy.

Our guy.

No, I did not watch a guy.

I was playing in this.

I was watching, um,

Leanne Waters and her partner.

So, I was watching the women's doubles.

Anna Bright.

On average to get to the final,

to get to, I was watching the semi-finals

and then I watched the finals.

But up to the semi-finals,

they were giving up on average.

A half a point, a game.

Half a point, a game.

Yeah, the great players are really special.

Ridiculous.

But Leanne Waters won everything.

She won, um, women's doubles.

Um, mixed doubles.

And

something else.

She won all, she won everything.

Game time brought to you by Tullimore Dew,

Irish Whiskey.

When it's game time,

it's tally time, seven o'clock.

Then I huge game,

islanders and the penguins.

They need to win this one.

It's at UBS.

745 Mets visit the Cardinals.

940 Yankees

in Seattle.

That's game time brought to you by Tullimore Dew,

the original triple,

the still triple blended,

triple cask matured.

Irish Whiskey,

be sure to grab a Tullimore Dew or try

the new Tullimore Dew Honey during today's action.

Glasses up to enjoying Tullimore Dew responsibly.

We didn't talk about it

because I'm the Gulf of Fishing Outer that I am.

I thought we should for a few moments at least.

And that is this Tiger Woods action.

That looked terrible.

And he was arrested for being under the influence in driving.

Right, it looked terrible.

Luckily, no one was hurt.

Thank God.

Right, thank God is right.

I mean, you're all talking about the same person

that was in a car accident that was, you know,

worse took his life that car.

They'd almost took his life in his leg.

So, I mean, clearly he hasn't learned.

Right, did the breathalyzer

wouldn't do the urine test.

So I think it leads everyone to believe

that he was probably on some sort of,

I would assume pill, but I don't know.

Here's my take.

Yeah, why not have a driver?

Yeah, you worth over a billion dollars.

Right, like, I'm not judging him

for taking pain medicine.

Clearly, the guy has, you know,

suffered some real injuries in his life.

And maybe he needs to take that.

Why are you driving a car?

That's a great question, especially after

going through what he's already gone through.

Right.

Yeah, he's got a problem.

I mean, I clearly, again, I don't know exactly

what happened, but the idea that he wouldn't agree

for the, you know, for the test.

I, he's had a bunch of surgeries.

He's dealt with a lot.

He's dealt in his life.

He's dealt with a lot.

And I'm not, I'm not judging any of that.

But there's no, what I'm saying is there's no excuse.

Right, right.

The only thing I'm saying, like, my grand thought

coming out of this whole story is

just don't drive yourself.

That's it.

Well, but forget that part of it.

Right.

I mean, that's, that's, that seems like the obvious thing.

Like, that's, I mean, that is a, a, a, a,

a nothing burger.

As far as what that would cost him

in comparison to what he's worth.

It's, you may be in a place in your life

where it's depression, whatever it is.

And you've not decided, that's not the word I'm looking for,

but have, have now on different occasions now

dealt with what you're dealing with now.

Right.

If you don't care about your life, that's one thing.

Don't jeopardize the lives of other people.

What is jeopardizing the jeopardizing everybody's life?

By doing what you're doing.

Yeah.

I'm, so it's funny TMZ, which you may not like,

but they are like legitimate, um, news breaking entity.

Tiger Woods refuses to hire a driver.

He doesn't want to let anyone in his life like that.

A sorry.

Like, at some point, at some point, you, you lose the right of,

of not allowing anyone to come into your life to drive you.

Again, I mean, there's, there is absolutely no excuse

to drive under the influence period.

No, okay, how much money you have?

Right.

He has, he has limitless amounts of money.

You cannot ever do this.

No, because again, if you don't care about your life,

that's, I mean, that's, that's your own business.

But don't do God forbid somebody, you know,

that was involved in this, they lost their life.

Well, we're seriously injured because you made the decision

to do that.

Right now,

then this, then this story is how much worse?

What do you mean?

Yeah, if he's in jail, it's terrible.

Right.

No, I'm just saying it's like you're, you're lucky.

You got off Scott free here.

Now, you flipped the car again, but you got off Scott free.

But, you know, this, this headline of Tiger Woods reporting

will not hire a driver due to privacy concerns.

That's unacceptable.

Right.

He said, I mean, these are demons that he's dealt with.

Right.

Right.

I mean, so again, it doesn't make any sense to anybody,

but it also, I mean, from what you just read,

makes sense that he clearly, I mean, has, has an issue

that he's, that he's trying to hide from people

or he's not around the right people

that are willing to step in and say, hey, listen,

I mean, you got a real problem here, man.

Like, you got to, you got to go see somebody,

you got to figure this thing out,

because you're going to end up dead.

Like, you're going to kill yourself one of these times.

Like, you're going to kill yourself one of these times.

Yes.

Yes, you are.

And it doesn't feel like this is changing,

and it feels like it's something that's...

Well, what's amazing, though, too,

is that you're just in the midst of, like, he's coming back,

he plays in the, you know, he plays in the championship

of the TGL, like, everyone's getting excited

because there's a chance he's going to come back

to the Masters, he's practicing, he doesn't know yet,

and then boom, this happens.

Then he flips his truck.

Right.

Yeah, he's got issues that he needs to figure out.

Dan and Jersey, Dan, real quick, you're on ESPN New York.

Good morning, Dave.

Good morning, Rick.

How are you guys today?

We're doing great, Dan.

What's up, buddy?

So I have a quick little career update

through you guys if you guys are interested.

Big news, jazz hands!

Dan, you want to continue?

I am now eight.

What happened?

Nope, nope, continue, sorry.

I am eight now eight women's lacrosse beat writer

for Shore Sports, New Jersey Shore News Outlet.

Well, look at you.

Good for you.

Congratulations, Dan.

Thank you.

I just want to let you guys know

because I know you guys have been following what's new here.

I, you guys are big inspirations of mine,

so I want to touch you guys now.

Well, congratulations, that's great.

Good for you.

And thank you, thank you.

But I also had a point on the match.

I mean, match fans, what are we doing with Boba Shatt?

And I see it from the Aki fans as well.

Why is it he three games into his match career?

Not everyone's going to get off to a good start.

Buying him is just senseless, in my opinion.

And they were booing Soto and Landore, too.

It's just like it doesn't make sense

that you're booing players, three games into a season

because this is the reason players don't want to play

in New York any more.

Is that solely New York or just fans all over Atleg Idiots?

I think it's New York.

I think it's more New York than anywhere else.

Well, but, but Dan, like how closely you

paying attention to what's going on in other places?

Like, you know, because you watch that,

you listen to sports talk radio and you watch,

I mean, you watch the Mets and Yankees play.

I mean, you know the fact that, I mean,

other guys in other places aren't being booed already.

I mean, I wouldn't, like, you think San Diego,

a place like San Diego is going to be booing their players.

I have no idea.

Like, Cincinnati, like, I don't think

well, but I know, but I don't know if you want to use,

like I get what you're saying and you're probably not wrong.

I'm just trying to give the counterpart of this thing.

It's also different expectations too.

I mean, you got two teams that spend as much money

as the Yankees spend.

You're also coming off a year with the Mets

where you won 83 games and David Sterns has taken,

you know, the core group of this team

and completely changed it.

And there are still, and again, I think it's probably

the more vocal minority that's doing the booing,

but I mean, you did move off a couple players

that are fan favorite players.

And is it fair in three games?

No, it's absolutely not fair.

But I mean, boba-shit is off to a bad start

and he admitted he's off to a bad start.

I said, we know he's off to a bad start,

but to boo the guy before three games are...

I know, but we always, how many people really,

but how many people are really booing?

And enough that he, guys hear it?

He can always hear the booze at home.

It's ridiculous.

Protein is now at Starbucks,

Met Yankees, both in action today.

People very happy they got the Michael K.

David Cohen experience on Friday.

Who doesn't love that?

That's great, especially after the debacle of Wednesday.

Was stunk, that next look.

You know what it's, but you know what it's telling you.

Stunk, but you know what it's telling you.

What is it telling me?

Is that the game by itself is no longer big enough

to draw to not have other stuff.

When you pay as much money as net, net for free for that.

I find with other stuff, the other stuff they chose to do

is awful.

No.

Well, listen, you're not a wrestling guy.

So you didn't appreciate the wrestling stuff.

I'm right here wrestling guy.

The wrestler's good.

I'm sorry, I saw in the John with the way.

The wrestler that they chose.

The wrestler with the wrestler's good

on the opening night of Netflix.

Here's the thing though, he's from there.

As far as like who's gonna come out and put out like

with a microphone and be great.

It's not one of his specialties.

Listen, I get what they were trying to do.

It was not a highlight of it, but for the segment

that was trying to pull in, it accomplished

what it needed to do.

It's cross promotion.

It's trying to bring as many people to the table as possible.

Lots of different eyeballs that maybe are just, you know,

I didn't like that he's baseball fans.

I didn't like that he went and took a shot at the Yankees.

He's supposed to be a baby face.

What's he doing?

But it's all good.

Well, I thought it's done.

Well, I mean, you're not easy to please.

Okay, I'm just happy that we're able to slow down

Jake Mangum yesterday.

Mangum, it's a tough name.

Mangum?

Mangum, it's a tough name.

It's a, it's a Mangum.

It's like, it could be.

I mean, but it looks like, it looks like Mangum.

I can tell.

No, it's wrong with you guys.

Do you have Mangum?

But you never heard of it, Mangum.

For God's sakes, I'm telling you the pronunciation.

It's Mangum.

But if you look, if you look at it, it looks like Mangum.

Oh, forget it.

RJ, help me.

Are you okay?

Either help me or shoot me.

He's just looking for it.

He's just looking for reasons to be mad.

Ray, what does Mangum look like?

Oh, every day Edgar, you're on EFB in New York.

I Edgar, how are you?

I'm not poor, man, I'm not good.

I don't want a yellow cat, but nine shops.

Oh, here we go.

Come on.

Get 18 rebots.

I don't want a yellow item.

I don't want a yellow item.

I want to be on his side, but nine shops.

He's not the alpha.

You guys are right.

He's never going to get fixed.

He is who he is.

Very negative, Edgar.

That's very negative.

Look at me, the voice of reason today.

I thought you've grown up.

You're, I mean, you're a mature adult now.

I don't know about that.

But I'm just, I'm not going to, I told you,

I told you when they lost to Detroit,

I'm not going to take every single game over.

Well, here's what I'll say, though.

Okay, I mean, of course, I think there's,

I mean, cat is to, is to blame for some of this.

But I got to, I mean, at what point do you accept?

Okay, this is who he is.

He's not going to go out his way to,

he's not going to go out of his way to demand the ball.

Like this is not who he is.

That's not what he's going to do.

Like, can't we find a way to do it for him then?

The offense is supposed to be run a certain way.

I don't care what it's supposed to do.

I'm, I'm telling you.

I can't have him taken one shot in a whole half.

I can't have him taken nine shots in a game.

And then he goes on a seven, a seven,

he scores seven points straight and then they take him out.

You take him out of the game.

Right, there's no defending this.

Come on, right?

I'm, I'm not defending this.

I'm just telling you the way their offense is run.

It's predicated.

Remember, there was all that discussion earlier in the season

about, oh, we have to get cat acclimated to this offense.

He has to learn how to work in this offense.

And that's the way the offense flows is why cats numbers

sometimes go the way that they do.

Right, but I want the offense to flow to cat, though.

Well, then like you said, he's not the alpha

that's going to go wild in that case,

especially with the fact that we need to do three stars.

When the alpha is jailing books, we need to do three

start now, because I'll get yelled at that.

That I send it to Barton, Carlin, late.

I'm not doing it.

I'm not taking all the slings and arrows for you guys anymore.

The more I talk, the more I talk.

Raymond, Raymond, three stars, please.

Today's three stars number three,

troubling incident with the email yesterday.

You're still in New York.

It's not in a different state.

You're still in New York.

Four different states, RJ, before we call medical

to really come into a full wellness check,

what the hell happened?

I was pre showing RJ sticks to his guns.

The thought process that the play we drew up was correct.

We didn't execute.

We got lost somewhere, no, no, the thought, no.

Listen, I didn't execute the email well.

What can I say?

I would go back and do it again.

Love that he says he would do it again.

Number two, listen, you say that there's not enough highlight

of my flubs here.

I'm going to give you what you asked for.

No, no, no, no reef.

Real Spain.

First game in the Motherland.

List classic?

Obviously the reason for the holiday.

It's Memorial Day guys.

Listen, the saying is some gave all some, some gave all.

Obviously.

I can't get it, get it.

You know which one.

I'm shocked David that you didn't bring up.

Wait a good time there.

Harga Readfield.

I'm shocked.

You didn't bring that one up to be honest with you.

Listen, the point is I deserve shame.

And I hope you're satisfied now, Rick.

I love it.

I love it.

All right, let's figure it out.

Well, listen, at the same time,

I mean, it was already, it was buried

and we had a, or whatever they call it.

They call it a funeral.

This is what they call it.

When someone, when something dies,

and you think that was not the word I was looking for,

to reflect on it, typically it's called a funeral.

The word you were looking for is repast.

RJ, what's after the funeral?

They get repast?

No, they get together.

No, not the repast.

They should be together.

Polonies delicious, but I've just never been to a repast

where you have, like, Polonies.

I didn't know what a repast was until 45 seconds ago.

Get yourself a nice bag of chips, a vending machine.

They're one step away from putting a vending machine up.

You know what, if I had a bag of chips,

I'd be thrilled with that.

No, you were not.

I wouldn't be okay if it was only chips,

but it's like chips as a starter.

Like, well, what'd you think of Johnny?

I don't hear some Fritos.

Yeah, or upgrades a little bit.

You walk in, they give you cool wrenched Doritos,

and you're thrilled to be there.

No, thrilled to be here at the repast

where I got a bag of cool wrenched Doritos.

RIP Gary, or whoever passed away.

No, that's a shame.

Let's take a moment.

Maybe we'll reflect tomorrow.

It's rule 76.

No excuse me, like a champion.

Brian Pada, senior defensive lineman for Miami.

Gunned down.

The key to this case, it's Brian.

What are you?

It's a rip, man.

A hour before he died, he was on a phone.

Argonauts about this might be a hit.

You want the truth.

They just want a conviction.

Place him to arrest.

We had a killer amongst us.

Murder at the U. Listen now.
