Yeah, that Chuck Norris was tracing the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The Rex was not chasing the Jeep.

Murray, Murray, are you there?

You love sandwiches, huh?

Let's go to 80.

Boom.

He was bow.

Wow, that's prime time, maybe.

Nah, I had a crush on Betty Rubble.

I honestly, until after the segment ended and we went to commercial break,

had no idea that Jonathan coachman was black.

He cost them the game last night.

Although they won the game.

You're listening to Stukatsu Company.

Pleased to have Sal look on it back with us.

Check out his podcast, wherever you get your podcast.

New episodes are out right now.

I saw one this morning, Sal.

How about that?

Yeah, we do one every day of the week.

So it's a lot of work, but it's a lot of fun as well.

Are you enjoying it?

Um, I'm getting there.

I think, well, to be honest, you know, I love radio and how much I put into radio.

And then I think there is an adjustment to do.

It's just different when you're not live and figuring it out.

And on top of a grinding TV schedule, I'm just trying to, I'm getting there.

And baseball is going to make it easier because I love talking about baseball and reacting to the games.

But I don't know if I could say that I love it yet as much as I love doing radio.

I'm still trying to get acclimated.

Did it take you all to do it?

Uh, it took me a while.

Yes. But so I think what you're missing is just the, the high wire rack that is live radio,

the ability to take phone calls, get feedback to what it is you are saying.

And yes, those are some of the things I miss.

But I was more prepared for it because Dan and I hadn't taken a phone call for like seven years.

So I, I just knew, like, I knew how to fill time and fill it pretty easily.

But it is antiseptic.

It feels lonely.

It feels like there's no one to talk to other than Taylor.

That's it for me.

Right.

So I have my, I have my, my producer bought a boom.

And even him, I was like, I didn't know if he was going to be any good or not.

I mean, he's trying to help me out behind the scene.

So that's the other part of it.

I could go for 10, 15, 20 minutes on my own.

But is that the people want to hear one person talking for 20 minutes?

Also, am I, is the interaction with him working?

He's a 22 year old kid.

Like it's not.

Sure.

He's learning too.

But it's been fun.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Has he been good?

Is he getting better?

What's going on there?

It doesn't seem like you're terribly confident in your producer here.

I actually do love him.

I, he's better than I thought on the air.

I didn't care about that.

I didn't want to bring him in because the on the air stuff.

Although I'm learning how important that is because you use Taylor or Mikey.

Like you need, I don't want to talk to myself.

I want to talk to somebody else.

It's boring talking to myself.

I did that.

I did it for 20 years.

I don't want to do that anymore.

So it is important.

And I do think he's definitely getting better.

I have to, you know, scold him a little bit.

He's a 22 year old kid.

But he definitely getting better.

Yes, too.

It seems like bottom Booms is biggest problem when I listen to the Salah Kada show.

Salah will ask him a question.

And bottom Booms will talk about anything.

But the question that's it.

I'll just ask him.

I love him.

Are you getting him on the pod?

He doesn't listen.

I go, no, no, no.

Like don't think about what you were going to say.

Answer the freaking question.

Like it's very simple.

Just listen and have a conversation.

Yeah.

But sometimes he'll derail it and take you to a very special place.

It's Billy Gill.

He's Billy Gill.

Billy Gill never listened to a word I said and just took the show wherever the fuck he wanted to.

That's exactly what he's doing sometimes.

I cannot believe I have a Yankee fan and a Metz fan here at Salah.

Taylor, do you agree with this?

Salah feels like there's going to be a subway series.

Man, those two teams in their first two games.

Yeah.

It's hard to find teams that look better than them.

It's one of 162.

I mean, but it's not unrealistic.

I mean, the Yankees, especially in the American League, the Yankees are always great.

They were in the World Series a couple years ago.

I don't think anybody's real threat.

The Metz would be the hard part because they always lose.

But I would take out the favorite.

It's come on.

They want to and are already they get really going to win three in a row.

I don't know about that.

The Metz would be the hard part because of the Dodgers, I would say.

The Metz can get the Metz can get to the playoffs.

It's just the Dodgers are overwhelming, you know?

Right.

But at some point, I'm a law of averages guy.

At some point, like they've already won two.

And you give them credit.

They're always going to be the best team on paper.

They spend the money.

They have the guys.

They develop players.

Some point, the favorite's going to get knocked off.

And then why not the Metz outside?

So if I eliminate the Dodgers from the equation, which is the obvious, the Metz have his

good chance.

And then anybody else, the Phillies, the Cubs, the Braves, the Giants, whoever you throw

in there.

Yeah.

Still, I was I was sitting at home watching the Yankee game.

And in a moment of transparency with the audience, I was like, I have been complaining a lot

about this Yankee team this off season.

And I'm watching the game.

And I'm like, man, this Yankee team is pretty good.

They're always good, Taylor.

I mean, I was telling Texas Taylor, hey, leave my guy booty alone here.

He was all upset at the beginning.

And he's fired up after the Yankees go on that barrage.

They're good.

And what is the ironic that in the off season, like two years ago, they traded for Soto.

So it's like, hey, Yankees got Soto.

Last year was they lose Soto, but then plan B pivot, freed and Belonger and others.

Everybody loved that and Devon Williams.

This year, it's like, hey, they didn't do anything.

They stay status quo, stay in the course running it back.

This will be the year where fans complain about the off season.

But watch the Yankees go out there and win the World Series.

It's interesting.

So you were telling me before we started recording here, I didn't watch opening day.

We were on the air during that opening day.

And that's why I just became aware of the botched national anthem and a bird dying in the outfield.

So can you explain it because you were telling me before.

And I couldn't really pay attention because we were doing a live radio show.

Well, think about it.

The meds go down to nothing and they're facing pole schemes.

You have the guy butcher the anthem.

If you haven't heard that I didn't see a live.

I saw it on I saw it on social media.

It was as big.

He just forgot the words and he saw the words.

So a botched anthem down to nothing against schemes.

And then a bird fell on the out.

I don't know how that one happened, but I just know that the dead bird.

And the crowd is chanting a young Carson bench making his major league debut to pick it up.

Pick it up.

Pick it up.

I want nothing to do with that dead bird.

And I don't blame them.

But the meds overcame all those things and so on.

Maybe it's their year.

They overcame a terrible national anthem.

A bird dying in the outfield and schemes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It definitely.

It really devastated the scheme.

That if that isn't assigned.

Stu, I don't know what is.

You know what?

Sold.

Something serious.

So there's so much hype around Carson bench.

Take me through your viewing experience when you watch him hit that home run and kind

of validate the reasons why the meds called them up and named him their starting outfielder.

Here's what I want to say though.

Like fans already I was getting taxa legit.

I got two texts from that fans yesterday.

This was after the initial they're down to nothing the seasons over.

It was they should retire benches number when they retire beltrons number.

And the other one saying that benches the new Alonzo.

Forget Pete Alonzo now benches the homegrown guy.

Always that overinflation of the homegrown guy.

What I saw was he mistracked two balls in the outfield.

He looked like he more belongs on your softball team than he did with the New York meds on those two.

Luckily they both went over the fence.

So it didn't matter.

He struck out his first two of bats.

But then he started to gain composure.

He walked and then hit that laser beam home run.

So I like that you saw growth from a rookie within one individual game.

I'm not ready to say he's going to be great yet.

By the way, he's also the eight hitter.

So the meds doing the right thing by not throwing him to the wolves saying he's going to be the savior and hit third or fourth or whatever it may be.

The fact that he could be eighth kind of fly under the radar and grew even within his first game.

I think those are good sides.

So one thing Stu New York doesn't do is taper expectations.

So when I'm watching Carson bench, I'm thinking how the meds fan must be feeling.

And that's how I came up with this song for said Carson bench.

Oh, really?

Okay.

He hits it in the air to right.

Feel fairly deep.

Oh, her back at the wall.

And it's gone.

He hit it off the canopy.

And the right field bullpen.

Carson bench makes his first major league hit a home run.

Congratulations to Carson bench.

As he gets an enthusiastic pat on the back from third base coach.

Tim Leaper on a aggressive fist bump from Francisco Alvarez.

And they're willing to congratulate the kid and the meds dug out.

Carson bench is first major league knocked in homer.

And the meds take a 10 to 5 lead.

Bench the meds don't need to look no more.

We just found what we were looking for.

With a swing to call our own.

Hell crush it in the zone.

And you might bench will see.

You've got us filled with.

Bench, you've sent that ball into the air.

Bench, you crushed that thing up out of there.

If you check out Bench's sad line.

You will like what you find.

The holy will soon know.

It's Bench and one soda.

Bench and one soda.

It is beautiful.

You're fucking producer do that.

I mean, I'm on that.

I got to put bottobooms to work.

Oh my god.

It's so bad.

Not what I was expecting.

I want that on the radio show to loop today.

Put the lighters up.

What you make of what you make.

I know they're getting killed of the Netflix coverage and NBC.

I guess I don't care about this stuff.

I know others do.

Most people just care about the fucking games.

They're playing a watch channel.

I'll be there when the game starts.

But what did you make of the Netflix coverage of opening up?

I'm more in line with you that I try not to care about these things.

Actually, I didn't even.

The score bug was a big issue.

I didn't realize it until Taylor texted me.

It's like to the score bug.

You need a magnifying glass to see what's going on.

Right.

My issue with the Netflix was that.

And it's not just Netflix.

We get they're going to promote themselves.

It was a commercial for Netflix.

And the baseball game going on.

So there was some like, I don't want to be,

man, don't grow so an old man yelling at the clouds just to go nuts about it.

I just care about watching the game.

I don't like the fact that they forced so much stuff down our throat outside of the game.

I'm a pureist. I want to just watch the baseball game.

I understand that.

But they paid for the right to do whatever the fuck they want.

I mean, and that's the deal.

And Rob Manford, you can kill him all you want.

But his job is to grow the game.

To grow the money around the game.

To grow the pie.

And Netflix is paying so much money.

And they're not getting a ton.

They're really not when you look at it at Rob Manford.

Say what you will about him.

I know a lot of people don't like him.

But he has done a tremendous job.

As the commissioner of Major League Baseball.

Baseball is thriving in every possible way,

including the television rights,

which you know, and streaming rights,

which are vastly important to the business of Major League Baseball.

And any sport for that matter.

Manford might have been my biggest issue with the broadcast,

because it really didn't have anything to do with like the bells and whistles

or whatever they were shoving down our throat.

Like people going nuts about James Winston.

I thought he was maybe the most entertaining part of the game.

The game was a snooze fest after the young school of those runs early.

But they had Manford and the booth for a half the inning.

And they didn't even get anything out of them.

So, and that's maybe less on Manford and Netflix,

although it's on the announcers there that were in the booth.

But I'm with you more, more in line with you, too.

I'm not going to go nuts about it.

It's one game.

And you're right.

Netflix could do what they want.

They paid for the rights they're going to promote the hell out of their product.

Yes, it's their rights, not yours, people.

They can do what they will.

Go ahead, Taylor.

So, when I'm watching that Yankees season opener in San Francisco,

they always cut to the kayaking and McCubby Cove.

And I'm watching that thinking,

that's not something I think I would ever want to do.

That's the look of peeling it all.

Meanwhile, it's always freezing cold out there.

Yeah.

You can't see anything.

I'm like kayaking for me in general, not good.

Kayaking in a ballgame really seems ridiculous.

Right.

It bounces and playing.

You aren't getting those those, you know, McCubby Cove shots out there

and put so many people still doing it.

I think it's insane.

Yeah, but I think what we're railing against, as you pointed out, Sal,

is just the idea of kayaking.

It doesn't matter where it is.

McCubby Cove, any Cove.

I don't care what Cove it is.

I don't want to kayak.

Right.

Too much work.

I take a boat.

You want to go on a boat in McCubby Cove?

Sign me up.

The kayaking.

A little speedboat around the Cove.

So much easier.

I mean, I don't want to fucking work to catch a baseball.

I mean, seriously.

That's one of those things.

I think you do it just to say you did it.

Not really for the injured.

Who's enjoying that?

Yeah, but one is.

So when you trot that story out of the bar

that you kayak, McCubby Cove, who the fuck is impressed with that?

It's a good point.

I saw this morning on social media.

The Yankees, like Meredith Morakimitch, who does the games on Yes, Susan Waldman.

Does the games are obviously legendary voice on the fan?

They're out there taking pictures of getting ready to kayak in McCubby Cove.

Come on.

It's like the thing to do if you go to a game.

I never want no part of that.

Oh my God.

It's so funny.

I, uh, I always question the people.

Even when bonds was hitting the home runs out there,

I questioned the people like, why are you doing this?

It cannot be that important for you to grab a baseball to be on television

that you're willing to not go to the game and kayak around the cove

waiting for a ball to drop it.

It's fucking sad.

Get a light.

That would still you mentioned saying it to somebody in a bar.

That would be one of the lamest things you could say to somebody in a bar.

Yeah.

The other one I saw recent amount.

I mean.

The other one I saw recently when it comes to a bar,

when it comes to a bar was John Rothstein, the college basketball reporter,

Dylan Darling hits the buzzer beater for St. John's to be Kansas.

John Roth sweets out.

Dylan Darling will never have to pay for another drink in New York City ever again.

And now imagine Dylan Darling going to a bar being like, hey, I'm Dylan Darling from St. John's

and a bartender going, I don't give a fuck who you are.

But I kayaked around the cove.

Yeah.

Who?

Dylan Darling has a kayak in the cove.

It wasn't even a big deal to go to the sweet 60 if Dylan Darling did that in the NCAA

final.

He'd be having a pay for drinks probably the next month in New York.

Nobody knows who Dylan Darling is.

What alone?

He's still getting.

He's still getting carted at bars.

That's a little bit of a rich.

He's never paying for a drink and get in New York City.

Don't give a fuck.

I mean, I average judge.

It's 63 homeruns.

Yankees pull on the next game.

The Yankee fence.

Well, you think we care about Dylan Darling and a worthless bucket to get to the sweet 16?

Come on.

Yeah.

Nobody cares.

He's paying for drinks forever unless he does.

Yeah.

It was funny I was laughing with Taylor yesterday because skiing's got bombed.

And I was laughing at the fact that people are going to start questioning skiing's involvement in the World Baseball Classic.

It's so ridiculous all of this, right?

Look at you.

Look at you.

I didn't even think about that.

That's an excellent point too.

You're on top of anything about that.

I met your producer job, but he's talking about other shit.

So I mean, you would think it would help skiing's getting, getting acclimated to the WBC.

Can't be an excuse that he's rusty.

But no, the metrics got to him.

Back grind it out.

Mets a lot up.

Right.

Has schoolable pitch yet, Taylor?

Has he, has he thrown yet?

He did pitch yesterday.

I forget what it was great.

You know how I know this?

I'm on set at SNY.

One of the guys who will run on the camera.

Has a bet on school ball to go like under seven strikeouts.

And right before air, I hear him murmuring.

He's like, oh, yeah, they took school ball out of the game.

And I'm like, what are you talking about?

He's like, oh, I had a bet that he was going to go under seven strikeouts.

So I believe he did pitch yesterday and he got taken out of the game at some point.

Yes, dude.

So schoolable pitched six scoreless innings.

That conversation is coming.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.

And I guess I'm the guy getting it off the ground.

Schoolable did not pitch in the World Baseball Classic.

We crushed him for it.

He goes out and gets a win.

Skins get shelved by the Mets.

Unbelievable.

See, Taylor, you're all about USA.

Look at schoolable doing the right thing, being ready and prepared for his team.

And Skins let us, let us, let us group down.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Still, it might be a USA curse right now because Aaron Judge and the opener went 0-5

with four strikeouts.

Yeah.

Logan Webb got absolutely rocked by the Yankees.

It's not really looking too good for Team USA right now.

But you know who went three for four?

Roman Anthony.

Wow.

I forgot about that action.

Sally, you went to the NCAA tournament.

It's hard not to be into this East region tonight, man.

Exactly.

I'll be into the St. John's Duke.

Although I don't think that St. John's has a chance.

I know it's March Madness, anything you have.

I just don't think St. John's has enough shooting to compete with Duke.

Right.

And I'll be into the Yukon Michigan State as well.

You're talking about two great head coaches.

So I like that part of the bracket.

Yes.

How's your bracket doing?

Have you participated in it?

I did not.

I didn't fill out a bracket.

I've been watching it more than.

I don't know why I didn't fill out a bracket.

I'm mad at myself.

I used to love college.

I think I need to get divorced.

I didn't fill out a bracket.

It's my wife.

I got to play more since I got married.

I kind of like things that I used to love.

They're not there anymore.

What's going on here?

Yeah.

Okay, good.

A new thing.

You wife, a house, a kid, whatever.

But I missed it with a bracket.

But you're supposed to replace the love of your bracket.

You're supposed to replace the love of your bracket.

With the love of your wife and your child.

I mean, it's not working.

March sadness.

I missed doing the bracket.

But no, I got the Johnny's and Kansas guy.

We were doing it when I did the podcast.

We oh my god, they don't have the great coaches anymore.

You know, like they'll sell.

I forgot it's selfless, even coaching still.

Right.

For some of those guys.

But I wish I did fill out a bracket.

Because I do really enjoy this time of year with the March manness.

So you know, you can't say that.

You can't say that.

You can't say that St. John.

You can't say it with any sort of conviction.

Because it's the sweet 16.

And you know, any of these teams in a one game scenario can beat the other team.

Especially when Rick Patino is your coach.

And so you can't say that St. John's will not be too.

I mean, that's crazy.

But usually the way that a team would upset is shooting.

Right?

Like, okay, they get hot.

March man is anything that that's where St. John's like they have been a year ago.

They get hot.

March man is anything that that's where St. John's like they have been a bad shooting team.

Oh, you're long.

They've been a little bit better through the first two games of the tournament.

But I think it's got to be even better than that.

They were fortunate to get away with with Kansas.

They could not score neither team.

So I think Duke, I think St. John's a great defensive team and they have an all-time great

head coach.

So by that aspect, you say maybe they have a punches chance.

I just don't think they could score the basketball or shoot the basketball well enough to really compete with Duke.

We've discussed this a bit on the show, but you'll, I think you'll laugh at this.

You know just how polarizing Rick Patino was at one point in his career.

And now he's beloved.

Like Taylor is saying, oh, I can listen to Patino tell stories and all day long, I love him.

I want him to be my coach.

Everyone fucking loves Rick Patino now because everything's out in the open, you know?

Well, we talk about like the off the court issues or the reason he was polarizing was some

of the off the court stuff.

You felt like he had an advantage.

He was giving suitcases of cash.

He was doing it behind the scenes.

Now everyone is doing is giving suitcases of cash and doing it right in front of the camera.

And no one gives a shit.

And it makes Patino a more lovable and likable dude, you know?

How about how about the fact that he legit went and rebuilt himself back up going to

Iona and yes, or a went overseas, whatever was in coming back to Iona and building himself

back up, getting to the level where and knowing that St. John's in New York, Patino former

Nick's coach in New York legend, I think that helps as well.

And you're right.

He's been open and accountable and the way the game has changed right now, where everybody's

doing the same thing.

So good for Patino getting St. John's back to the problem.

I personally like him.

I hope, look, I hope they beat the snot off of Duke, I can't stand Duke.

I hate who likes Duke.

I just don't think it's realistic.

That's a great question.

Not Taylor.

Put it on the pole.

Who likes Duke?

I don't know what you're possible responses could be, but no one likes Duke.

I can't stand Duke.

I want St. John's to go to the final four.

I think it could be a great story.

I want them to win the national championship.

Speaking of how disarray is to your marriages and how much you're trying to not spend time

with your wife and with your family, I am told here by Taylor that you were going to

not one, but two games in a single day.

Oh my God, that is going to great lengths to avoid changing a diaper hanging out with

your wife.

I mean, what's the matter with you?

It was supposed to be one game, just the owners game.

We got invited by the owners going out in the owner's suite, so I'm looking forward

to that.

What do you mean you got invited by the islanders?

What does that mean?

Well, we geo back in the day when we went a couple of times, geo from the fan.

He took me the owner's owner's suite and then I became friendly with the guys in there

and then we became, I would set up a thing with the fan guys we go.

I don't know if you know this, like, you know, no, no, no, no, no longer work at the

fan.

I kind of got fired from the fan.

The owner guys reached out and said, hey, we love to have you any time.

So now I'm going to go, I'm going to take my producer and whatever and go to the game.

But it started out as just the owners thing and then I was like, wow, the meds play at

four.

They're in the same vicinity.

Mm-hmm.

I get to stay away from what goes on the year, yeah, for a first Saturday.

Yeah.

They'll go have to play date with their friends and they don't want anything to do with

that.

I mean, union down on flushing there, right there.

Yes.

Right.

Yeah.

That is true.

The traffic.

I'm not looking for.

Dude, the parking.

That's a major issue.

So the owner shouldn't be an issue.

But it's city feel because they're doing all these renovations and trying to build a casino

and all that stuff.

That's been an issue.

But yes, I'm sure I'm going, going five miles will take 50 minutes.

No problem.

I couldn't, I mean, the idea of going to a game after I've already been to a game.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Go home, dude.

I've done it once at the garden.

I want to do the same day double header mix rangers.

We did the mix it noon hung out in the city afterward, went back to the rangers tonight.

It was a long, that's a long freaking day.

This is a little different one, one right, one o'clock start, four o'clock start and then

come home.

And then come home and watch the Yankees.

It's a busy day.

Yes.

Yes.

I mean, come home.

I mean, you might want to hang out with your wife when you get home.

I mean, hey, it's a busy season.

She had me in February, you know, I mean, it's for a week.

You referenced Taylor's softball team before.

Have you played in an adult softball league because I maintain there were a few things

in life that are sadder, so I, I, I used to and a part of me when I hear Taylor and

you guys talking about a part of me is like, man, that could be fun being part of a team

and going out there.

And the other part is like, eh, I want nothing to do with this anymore.

Like, I, I would get hurt.

I have no interest in packing up and going there.

I just don't want anything to do with it.

So I understand the appeal of it.

I used to do it years ago, no, no chance.

I'd do it anymore.

So Stu, Rumadian was so bad defensively and the thing that makes it even funnier is

he's from my hometown from New York.

Sal Rumadian is the guy who's on hold for two hours at WFAN that wants to tell you about

how bad Jason Dominguez defences.

Yeah.

We committed seven errors and opening fucking night of a softball league, right?

That's embarrassing.

I mean, that guy, he brings his girlfriend and what's he doing there?

Maybe he knows purposely he doesn't want to get married to this girl.

So he brings her to the game where he's boxing all the balls in the outfield.

But he's sad.

Can you imagine, like, sitting down with your wife, honey, sit down.

I joined an adult softball league when I come to the first game, you know, no, no, there's

no chance.

When we moved into the in Jersey neighbors, like, oh, yeah, she come down in the, come

down in the club.

We'll play softball.

I go, bro, the last, like, I don't want to be here hanging out with you right now.

The last thing I want to do, I'm only here because my wife said we got to make friends

with the neighbors.

Truth be told, I don't want to be a, I'm a nice guy, but I have enough friends.

You think I'm going to go on my free time to go play softball with you and another group

that, no, I'm sorry.

That's not, you got the wrong guy.

Not me.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

When were you done making friends?

Like when, when, when were you done?

Because I was done when I was like 22.

I don't need any more people in my life.

I need less people in my life.

It's a great question.

I definitely would say after, like, started work at the fan, it probably in my late 20s,

early 30s, that it was just like, all right, we need to, we need to not, not only cut

it off here, like, we need to cut back from the, the role of decks that we already have

need to get cut back.

So marriage is an amazing thing because the guy, in most cases, is trying to downsize,

right?

And the white is trying to downsize and trying to create more fucking people who are eventually

going to ask you for something, you know?

So this happened to me recently where my, my girlfriend was like, I met a friend, you

would love her boyfriend.

And I just looked at her and I go, that capacity, sorry.

Yes.

You're not even married yet, dude.

Oh, oh, man, it gets worse because then you get the extended family involved.

It becomes too much on my, my whole, like, my friends, my family, then you're combining

her friends, her family, then you bring kids in that you got their friends, oh, no

neighbors in no way.

No, but that fucking nonsense when the wife comes home or the girlfriend comes home.

Oh, great person.

I met her.

You're going to love the husband.

Boy, forget the fuck out of here.

How do you know?

How did you speak to him?

How do you know who I'm going to like and who I'm going to dislike?

Oh, why?

Because he's a fucking met fan.

Do you know how many met fans I hate, like most of them.

And so I just hate when the wife does that because no, it's, it's, it's a convenient reason

to try to get it to hang out with somebody that you don't want to hang out with.

Right.

And usually it starts with, oh, they're big sports fans.

And I'm like, that's the last thing you should be saying to me.

I don't want to go talk to sports about anybody with anybody.

I do it every day.

You think I'm going to go there and, hey, how about those meds?

How about B, uh, B T and G O B fond of it?

No, I'm good.

Thank you.

When I'm not talking sports into this microphone, I'm talking sports for the day.

You might as well lead with weed.

He smokes pot.

I'm in.
