We'd 16 continues tonight.

We have polls to get to as well.

Taylor and the VIP room, Iowa Sam in the crew.

They are back in Sherman Oaks.

We have a song by Taylor as well.

What?

Yeah.

What?

What?

877-99 dot Fox.

Why are you so surprised by that?

I mean, wow.

I didn't know Taylor really wanted to continue his musical career because on the previous

show, it was funny because let's just say it didn't sound the greatest.

Is he so I'm like a great artist?

I go through loals at times, but if something really inspires me, then I get to writing.

Yes.

Can I ask for the source of inspiration?

The Metz.

Yeah.

Okay.

Is that ready, whenever I'm ready to go to it?

Is that song ready for us to play?

Yeah.

Okay.

We will get to it in just a second.

He is.

I picked his career.

Yeah.

It's only been one game so far and I'm like, what, what is this song all about?

Yes.

What did you want to do here with Iowa Sam, who is back in Sherman Oaks, who is he is

just having a moment right now?

Well, that's actually Sam.

How are you today?

Well, doing great.

It's nothing like punching your ticket to the elite eight and then watching all the other

basketball play out.

So I'm just walking on sunshine over here.

You know what I'm saying?

Okay.

Because you do it so often.

Yes.

Go ahead.

No, because I texted you last night, Sam, after Iowa one and what did I say?

I think I wrote survive in advance and I put the like salute emoji emoji and your response

was what?

My response?

It was like an emoji of like the whoo exhaling, but I did it with the gentle effect.

So it was it gets smaller to bigger.

So it's like my face is going whoo and because I mean, listen, it was 38 minutes that Nebraska

led that game and Iowa finally took the lead finally took a lead.

It tied a bunch of times.

Finally took the lead with about two 10 to go.

So I mean, listen, March is stressful.

It's a plum.

I haven't tasted on the men's side.

I'm wearing my women's final for sure right now, but on the men's side have not gotten

that far in a long time.

The F and Fred Hoyberg stands for four players on the court.

How about that?

I'm still getting over the plum.

I haven't tasted phrase, which I believe must be an Iowa special because I've never heard

it before.

It's the sweetest boy.

Hey, lay out the agent Hoyberg stands for how the hell did that happen?

I mean, so Sam, I want you to explain actually because I was thinking about this.

I was like, I could explain what happened, but I wasn't actually watching live.

I had to rewind it because I had gotten up and didn't realize what happened.

Tell me what happened when Iowa had a five on four advantage there against Nebraska.

Well, they're about to inbound it and then a rink mast wasn't on the court.

And Fred Hoyberg said that was my fault.

There were four guys on the court, and I think it was maybe kale combs inbounding and he

just hooks it.

One of the higher players just hooks it down the court and just gets goes up by five or

six again with under a minute to go and just gives them an extra little bit of breathing

room.

Catching Nebraska flat footed and, you know, like Fred, we have a bit of sound to play.

Fred Hoyberg is like, well, they check it for six sometimes and never four on the court.

So it was a, it was a blunder.

Yep.

The rare college basketball power play, I mean, exactly, unbelievable.

So that basically kind of sealed the game.

I would say, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Cause it, I was up by I think six or eight and they got to five.

He just gave him more breathing room and it was two, two possessions at point.

So it just gave Iowa a little bit of an upper leg or with, you know, only about a minute

to go.

Yeah.

And so after the game, Fred Hoyberg was asked about it or actually one of his players

was asked about it.

And he took over to take the blame.

And then there was a follow up question, which was pretty important to play those for

me, please.

For Ring, about 58 seconds left, they had that deep ball to a viral for the bucket.

I think there were four players on the court.

Can you say what happened?

I guess that one, Myron, you know, put that one on me at, it was a miscommunication.

And, you know, I'm the head coach, put that one on me.

The four men on the, on the court on that final inbound, there's some confusion online

about if that's the rules you're supposed to have five guys on the court, where the official

is supposed to hold the ball before the ball was basically a good question, Rob.

And I've never been in a situation like that.

I know they always count to make sure there's not six.

I don't know the rule on that with four, but yeah, I mean, again, it was a miscommunication

and, you know, unfortunately, it, it happened, but that, you know, as far as the rule, I've

never been a part of anything like that.

So, now, before we get to the blame game, as who's to blame, Taylor has a question for

Sam.

Yes.

IOSM, everybody's coming out today praising McCullum, calling him the Kirk signety of college

basketball.

Wow.

What I don't understand is how this Iowa team went 500 in the Big Ten.

Well, I mean, I think let's look at the, look at the half of the elite eight, three of

the four teams or Big Ten teams, you look at the depth of the Big Ten, it's really on display

right now.

Iowa, at one point was eight and four in the Big Ten, and then they kind of, they hit

a little bit of a plateau, finished 10 and 10, but they had, they had leads against Iowa

state and non-conference on the road.

They had leads, you know, they were competitive with Purdue and Illinois.

They were right there in a bunch of games and to, would have made them a higher seed if

they had won those games, would have, you know, improved their, their resume overall,

but they finished 10 and 10, but clearly showing that they deserve to be in the tournament

and they're the lowest nine seed to ever get to an elite eight from the Big Ten.

We are peppering Iowa state.

I love it.

Bring it on.

I don't know.

What does that mean?

The lowest nine seed.

The lowest, do they rank the nine seed?

No, I'm sorry.

The lowest seed to make the elite eight coming in as nine seed, yeah, from the Big Ten.

Now I was saying, if they played the entire season five on four, do you think they would

have been the overall one seed headed into the tournament?

Sure.

Absolutely.

I mean, five on four is a whole, it's like, you know, you're playing chess and everyone's

playing checkers.

That's right.

I want everybody to chime in on this because I'm trying to figure out who is most to blame

here because there's so many levels to how different people could have given Fred

Hoyberg the heads up.

Like, he mentioned in the, in the, in the question by that reporter, does the official

normally check if you have four or more?

And in most cases, during a game when it's live action, you'll have referees kind of

doing favors for teams by maybe like if somebody slipped or something, they'll hold

on to the ball a little longer before the inbound, just to make things even, right?

They absolutely, if, because it's not like you get penalized for it, right?

So they absolutely, if you see only four out there, well, before the inbound might

say, hey coach, you only got four out there.

All right.

You're missing one is somebody or somebody off the floor or something like that.

Well, Hoyberg said the mayor and he took accountability because that's what the mayor

does.

He says, normally they count.

And if it's six, they'll tell me and they'll get one guy off the court.

Is there a chance when there's four, the referee is just laughing at the coach and

saying, ah, well, I'm not going to tell him it's not my job to argue it's either way

because if it's six, you got a technical foul.

So you're still affecting the game by telling the coach, hey, get them off the floor.

You've got six out there.

So really, if they're objective referees, probably not supposed to say anything, but a lot

of the times in the sport.

I don't know.

Maybe they just sometimes do.

It just seems to be the way, but there are a million people on these college basketball

benches, okay, including the players.

How about a count coach?

How about a coach whose responsibility it is to just make sure they have five players

on the court at all times.

We have them in La Crosse, I'm certain we have them in football, just somebody, anybody

on that coaching step who was sitting around doing nothing, make sure you count one, two,

three, four, five.

Not the amount of people you're going to have lining up to apply for the job that all

I got to do is count to five.

That can't be.

Well, it just can't be.

It's good to be able to do the door.

A little count coach.

I mean, that's all.

But you're right.

You know, because they have assistant coaches there, and assistant coach can maybe take

a little pressure off the head coach and give it a quick count, right?

Yes.

You've got all these dudes, these walk-ons who have nothing to do with anything, other,

main job is to celebrate, bro, do a quick count, tell your coach, hey, we only got four

out there.

You have the son of the head coach in uniforms, too, an extension of the coach on the floor,

almost literally.

Yes.

A coach's son.

Yes.

That man needs to be able to say, Dad, we only have four out here.

The opposition, like I was, they did such a great job looking around and recognizing, hey,

don't make any sudden movements.

They only have four people out there.

If we look too excited, they might get the fifth one out here.

Like there's so many different ways somebody could have figured out there's only four people

out there.

And instead, none of those things happen.

And Fred Hoyberg has to take the giant L.

Can I have horned Oscars?

I'm sorry.

I was out of Jesus.

I'm sorry.

I'm gonna say again.

I'm gonna say again.

I got to be in on this.

Come on.

Say it again, Taylor.

What was that?

There you go.

Very good.

Is he?

I have a no stop.

Is he?

I have a question.

That's your word limit for the second.

Come on now.

Can I just offer one more thing?

Four more.

Yeah, please.

Okay.

So I think that at the end of the game, when Nebraska had the lead for 38 minutes, and

they were, their heads were spinning at that point.

They were just like, they didn't know what was going on.

They were losing the lead.

They were losing the game.

And I think that explains why the disarray, the lack of organization, they had four guys

on the court.

Yeah, that doesn't explain why those walk-ons couldn't I said something?

I think everybody is trying to feel like it was like they were, you know, that's when

you have a big gaff, a mental gaff like that happened is when you're just like in a

disarray.

Yes.

Let me ask you this, is he?

If Tennessee decided to just play with four players, but you had to spot them 30 points

against Tennessee tonight, who would you take in that game?

So what I'm telling you is, oh, against Iowa State, yeah, Iowa State gets to run out

there.

Normal five.

Tennessee plays with four, but the game starts 30 to nothing.

Tennessee.

Man.

It's a tough one, right?

It is.

It is.

It's right up there with the Usain Bolt and Joey Chestnut question, right?

Makes you think.

We should have used it for think about it Thursday.

He should have.

Yeah.

Is he still has it?

He has no answer.

He doesn't know who to take.

I know.

I know.

And you know, who's dying to answer Iowa Sam, but his word limit has been reached, and

he cannot discuss Iowa State tonight.

And since we're discussing Iowa State, and we're within the state that Iowa Sam is from,

Iowa Sam, if I present that to you, Tennessee, we're going to play with four players, but the

game starts 30 to nothing.

Tennessee, and they're taking on Iowa State.

Who are you taking?

That is, that is really, that's the mind-bender right there.

I think I'm going to, man, I think, I think I'm still going to take Tennessee.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Dan, why the way I take Iowa State, I would, the cyclones, I would.

Go ahead, Taylor.

These two teams are two evenly matched.

Like, I think Tennessee would want to just play the game straight up.

I think Iowa State would want to play the game straight up.

All right.

But you're looking at some of the spreads.

Alabama is a nine and a half point underdog.

So maybe they play with four, but they're spotted 30 points against Michigan.

Maybe, I think that's how a team would have to accept that.

I think what happens is the Alabama suspended players spikes all the Michigan players with THC in their drinks,

because they haven't liquid-formed now right before the game.

And the Michigan players look lost the entire game.

Izzy, I got to be honest with you.

And listen, I'm going to be honest with the audience.

Last night was the first time I watched Arizona play basketball the entire season.

I feel like every other team is playing for second place.

All the while, they are playing for a well-me.

I mean, Taylor wants them to lose desperately because he wants their coach to be the next coach at the University of North Carolina.

Izzy, so this is the conundrum that I'm running into right now as a Carolina guy.

I need Arizona out of this tournament fast.

Because I need the Carolina administration and Tommy Lloyd to try to work out a contract for him to become the next head coach.

You would think the further Arizona goes, the less likely he would want to leave Arizona.

Like if Arizona makes it to the final four, if Arizona wins a national championship,

that's going to be a tough situation for him to leave no matter how good people think the Carolina job is.

This is where the conundrum comes in though.

Arizona is so good that as long as Duke is in the tournament, I cannot have Duke win the national tournament.

So I need as much insurance as possible.

I need Arizona in the tournament. I need Michigan in the tournament. I need Illinois in the tournament.

I cannot afford the chance.

So you need Duke to lose, but it would be great if it was not Arizona who beat them because you need Arizona's head coach to move on to North Carolina.

Yeah, so Arizona would have to play Duke in the championship.

And that's like the last layer before all hell breaks loose.

So you want Duke to lose tonight to St. John's, right? That would be ideal for you and then Arizona to lose their next game, correct?

So I pose this question to my Carolina group chats.

UNC gets Billy Donovan, but Duke doesn't win the title or UNC gets Tommy Lloyd, Duke wins the title.

And everybody was like, give us Billy Donovan. Go coach for 10 years.

Then we'll figure out who the next coach is after that.

I agree with that. Yeah, you'll be playing for 10.

That's your computer. It's not mine. One of ours.

My computer has never made that noise.

There are 17 computers on in this studio. It could be any one of them.

I mean, but Taylor, let me just announce to you right now just so you can, like, don't hold your breath on this.

You're screwed, man. That Arizona team.

My God, Stu. Yes.

I was at home wondering if I should admit this.

Okay.

And then you did it for me first.

That is the first time I've seen Arizona play basketball this year.

Holy bleep. They are good.

Taylor, they're so good. They don't even have to shoot three.

They only shot eight of them last night, made five and shot 64% from two from overall.

So part of that I think is because Arkansas is a very bad defensive team.

Yeah.

Like when Arkansas is playing defense, they almost just all laid to the basket.

Because a cuff is like, just give me the ball. I'm going to go back at them.

The other part of that is he is everybody in this NCAA tournament is like,

it's tough to pick Arizona because they don't shoot a lot of threes.

And then you're watching them like, they don't really have to shoot too many.

They don't have to settle just take it to the rim like a bully every time they're doing just fine.

They had six guys and double figures last night.

I was.

It's that kind of admission that makes me like, I don't feel like I'm worthy of talking to Jay Billis.

Like we did yesterday.

And I was like, dude, if he only knew I haven't even seen Arizona play yet this year.

And then I watch them last night and I'm like, man, I am on this bandwagon.

Trust me.

He knows.

You're not fooling Jay Billis.

Well, I didn't try to fool him.

I didn't even touch the subject of Arizona, but I would have by the way,

just going back to Iowa for a second when we asked Jay Billis if he'd be surprised.

If any of these teams won an NCAA championship this year, he said Iowa is the team that would shock him.

And here they are three games away from winning a national championship.

Yeah, it's crazy.

877-99 on Fox.

877-99 on Fox.

Sam has one more comment, I think, as we are going to break.

Quick thing, guys.

Why do I get this feeling?

I mean, so Michigan State, Tom is a year 2000.

Last time, Big Ten won a national championship in men's college basketball.

Why do I get this feeling that there could be as many as five Big Ten teams in the elite

eight?

And Arizona goes on to win the national championship.

I just get that feeling.

It's just even if it's overwhelmingly Big Ten.

I don't know.

If the Big Ten is actually going to get it done.

It's a good feeling.

Arizona is winning it all.

I've declared it.

I had them in my bracket.

Yeah, me too.

So far, they played arguably the most impressive game of college basketball I've ever seen played.

Now, off Iowa Sam's point, imagine how I feel, needing Arizona to lose in the next round.

Terrible.

And then who are my hopes hinging on?

Per do and Matt Piner.

Yeah.

I got news for you, bud.

Arizona not losing until early April.

You're playing a team made up of Wil Chamberlain Dwight Howard, who else Shaquille O'Neal,

to the all banging in the paint.

And occasionally taking a three just for fun.

It's the greatest college basketball team I've ever seen.

I need the books all.

But after six months, too.

It's pretty much it.

Right?

You were double your home book after two weeks.

Once you got the advance, books have been published.

A static.

It's been fun.

Good luck to you.

Two years later.

Yeah.

You know, I put up that book once I got the advance.

I was like, static.

You write the book.

And he did.

You know, right?

You know me better than I know me.

You know, headstands.

Run.

We're going to play some.

Sound here from Christopher Mad Dog.

Russo and get your reaction to it.

The tailor has a game for us.

Fair or foul.

You know, just thoughts from opening day.

And so let's play this sound first.

Christopher Mad Dog.

Russo talking about giant fans and getting upset with them.

And that don't be stuck with the canoes out there with these balls.

Where the home runs.

That is so overplayed.

It's been going on for 25 years.

I think everybody who even loves the giants has had enough of it.

Guys bouncing around in canoes.

Think it's a big idea to catch some fly ball or to be the first to grab a ball that got wet over the right field fence and over the fan base.

Into the, into the, into the cubby cove.

Who cares?

How about the giants win some ball games first?

Who the hell cares?

I'm so, that is so played out.

It's like something.

Time Square every year.

Who cares about that too?

Oh, I want to waste the time.

They do this stupid canoes stuff.

That's poorly giants and poorly Netflix.

They think the world cares about a bunch of dope's just up as whatever.

Getting a ball out in right field.

Telling us they're big giant fans.

Well, how could you be a big giant fan when you're sitting in right field in the canoe?

And I watch in a ball game on opening day.

For crying out loud.

Maybe kind of for it.

Take it easy.

Yeah.

And how could they win any games?

It was the first game.

I always love mad dogs passion, but I couldn't disagree more.

I'm like, you have to show the people that can use that's what makes it so unique.

Nobody is a diard like him who loves the San Francisco giants like no other.

It's his favorite professional sports team.

So of course he gets sick of it when you see it over and over.

Let's do there are people there who were not watching baseball games.

Listen, dare I say that was someone's first baseball game ever on Netflix.

Right.

Somebody out there.

It's a person is in a baseball game.

They thought it was passing.

The first time I.

Wow.

There's people in canoes looking to catch a home run ball.

So is it annoying for the diard?

Of course, but you have to play the casuals as well.

I think he's off base on this one.

But I like the passion.

But you agree about Times Square, right?

I mean, that's ridiculous.

Oh, that I mean, you know, I've lived in New Jersey now seven years.

Yes.

And it's fun.

You first moved my wife had said to me, hey, at some point we should do Times Square New Year's Eve.

I don't want to be in polite.

She's my wife.

I love her to death.

I was kind of like, hmm.

Not really sure about that.

And graduate of her time.

Her enthusiasm for it has gone down.

You know, when people say in life, you should do this blank once.

Whatever that one thing may be.

Try a certain food.

Go to a place.

That's the one I go.

No.

I've just your desire.

A little claustrophobic.

B.

Gotta go to the bathroom every hour.

Like you still you're lining up at like 3 p.m.

Yes.

Nine hours for 10 seconds of gratification.

Yes.

Nine hour wait for 10 seconds of gratification.

Right.

I mean, you have to wear a diaper to it.

I mean, it's unbelievable.

You really do.

It's on a weird bucket list.

I have a things I never want to do.

You know, this is a long Island guy.

It's a dead giveaway.

If someone says to you, I love Times Square.

Clearly, they're not from the tri-state area.

Right.

All the respect.

They're from Oklahoma.

They're from Arkansas.

They're from Los Angeles.

It's a summer not New York, New Jersey, Connecticut.

Because those people have no time for Times Square.

Get me through and get me going.

Word association.

The one thing that you associate with Times Square.

Times Square.

Mine is sad dudes in like giant cartoon costumes.

That it's just, they have some, most of the time,

they have the hat off.

The head off.

And you can yell sad Elmo, sad Spider-Man, all those guys.

That's immediately what I think of, when I think of Times Square.

No doubt, is he, and I was so dumb.

You know, 2010, we moved to Connecticut.

One of the first things we went, kids were young.

We were just so thrilled.

Oh, my God.

Spider-Man, I'm going to get to Ironman.

I just thought I'd take a picture and move on.

Right.

He'd take the picture.

And that's like, they put the hand out.

I'm like, what do you mean?

Like, no, you give us money for this.

Oh, okay.

Shoot.

I have 20.

Here's a five.

Here's a 10.

I'm like, very quickly, you're spending 50 bucks to get pictures

with these sad, lonely, depressed guys.

So, never again, they come over.

I go, my kids don't like Marvel characters.

Get out of here, Hulk.

Sorry.

Don't waste my time.

Also, in addition to that, along with the CD people

dressed as those characters are just CD women.

Like, you walk by and you go, oh, my God.

It's a half-naked woman, but it's not even that attractive.

And you're like, what is happening here?

Again, working for tips.

It's like a Las Vegas CD underbelly.

It's brutal.

We're just CDs.

Yes.

We're just CDs either.

Yes.

We're just CDs, right?

We'll get to fair for halogens to second.

Listen, we all want paychecks from Netflix.

Okay.

It's on point.

That's what we do.

The people who are criticizing Netflix.

Oh, get over it.

Yes.

Oh, clearly, you don't want to work for Netflix.

And they're clearly, you don't want to count.

You and me are out here going.

I thought Netflix did a phenomenal job.

Right.

Yes.

Can't see it enough times.

Yes.

I love Matt Fasker's and Laura Shawty, my friends and colleagues.

They got Barry Bond's to go talk on television.

No one's done that.

Barry Bond's, how about that quote when he said,

I wasn't the best teammate off the field,

but on the field, I thought it was pretty good.

Even on the field, he wasn't a very teammate.

He gave him some credit because he would get a lot of walks.

Well, yeah, you're an incredible player.

You don't like you, Barry.

But I love the kind of thing he said, off the field,

wasn't a great teammate.

Yeah, I didn't so slides with anybody.

Didn't talk to anybody.

But just to see Barry Bond say that,

I loved it.

Great to see him on set.

So you like the coverage.

Yeah.

I was all in.

And the people criticizing saying,

well, they kept rewarding Netflix shows, fellas,

they paid $50 million for the whole three events.

Right.

For opening day, for the home run, Derby,

and the field of dreams.

I've been to all three of these events.

It's not worth $50 million.

So you've got to get your money back somehow.

If you're promoting every Tom Dick and Harry available on Netflix,

that's what you get for the $50 million.

Was it overt?

Of course.

Was it over the top?

Absolutely.

But you and I have watched the Super Bowl on Fox.

They start mentioning,

here's Eric Stone Street's new show,

check it out, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Look, that's how it goes.

Netflix did it to the end degree.

I get it.

But overall, I enjoyed it.

Adnan O'Virke.

I mean.

Is he had nothing?

No, I don't.

I was going to have to follow up question.

I have no follow up question.

Right.

I do have a health related question for Izzy.

Yesterday, we were doing opening day.

And the show was from 7 until 10.

The way the sked was, Izzy,

ton of four o'clock games.

And then 8 30 was de-backed Dodgers

and a couple of 10 o'clock.

So we got screwed quite frankly.

There was no games on our window.

So it's just me,

the great Steve Phillips,

former Metz GM,

did an office and job office

he used to be in for many years.

And Chris Young,

see whether the outfielder.

So anyways, at one point Steve,

we're getting through the show,

doing all the highlights, et cetera.

And I see Steve chugging this thing called Celsius.

And I go, I've seen this.

A lot of people drinkin' this Celsius stuff.

He's like, yeah, I'm like,

how is it? He's pretty good.

I go, really? He's like,

hey, kind of motion to give me a sip.

I can't find it together.

And I say, I don't really drink caffeine.

I'm not a morbon or anything.

It's just not really my jam.

I mean, if coffee tastes like Pepsi,

I would drink coffee,

but it's just like the taste.

It makes sense.

Because life had four cups of coffee today.

And this is my second Celsius.

So I'm buzzing.

So my question to you is this.

I see a lot more people

than drinking this Celsius thing.

You are a beacon of fitness.

We all know even eight pack.

You watch what you eat,

watch what you drink.

Are you down with the Celsius?

Or should I avoid it all costs?

Man, it's so difficult to talk freely

in this market,

in this open market

where anybody can be a sponsor

at any given time.

Talk freely, please.

So I would just say that I am not a fan

of any of the energy drinks.

No matter how healthy they try to make themselves sound,

they're not really.

So if you're downing multiple Celsius,

I would say after having multiple cups of coffee,

I would say your heart's doing a little bit of work

and that probably doesn't need to do.

And I would not recommend it.

How do you feel about coffee?

Absolutely.

I'm good with coffee.

But here's the thing about coffee.

I'm just stealing this meme from the internet somewhere.

It's like I started drinking coffee with no creamer.

And then I realized something.

I don't like coffee.

I like creamer.

And so the creamer being wildly unhealthy.

If I can avoid coffee, I will, but I can't.

Yeah, people ask me,

do you drink coffee?

I said no, they go,

T.I. go on a cage,

man.

That's me double cream, double sugar.

They go,

do you just need the cream with the sugar?

Exactly.

Of course.

What activity and what?

What the hell?

What do I British?

What makes it taste good?

I mean, naturally, yes.

Well, there has a game for us.

A fair or foul.

Taylor, take it away.

And so fair or foul is,

I have takes from MLB's opening day.

And you have to say whether they are fair or whether they are foul.

By the way, Taylor,

you have a lot to love to,

because that game last year was so good.

I kept lamenting the fact we didn't do 64 teams head to head.

I'm looking forward to next year.

Go ahead.

Is that an organ playing?

No.

A baseball.

A baseball.

Really dressed it up.

It is baseball.

Put it on the ball.

Is an organ baseball.

Go ahead, Taylor.

And then after going four for four in his MLB debut,

Tiger's Kevin McGonagall will have the ale rookie of the year wrapped up by June.

Fair or foul?

Wow.

Well, it's wrapped up by June as absurd.

So I'm going to say foul.

But I love this kid.

21 years of age,

he's never played above double A.

And when he came to spring training,

he told his manager,

AJ Hinch,

I want to work on my defense.

When's the last time you heard of any 21-year-old,

much less 31-year-old baseball player?

So you know what?

I'm going to start working on my defense.

So clearly,

he's got a great head on his shoulders.

Four hit game yesterday,

a couple of doubles.

He's among the favorites of American League rookie of the year.

I don't think he'll have it wrapped up by June,

but he might end up winning it.

The kid looks like an absolute stud.

Is he?

Also foul.

Foul.

Yes.

I don't know who he is, I mean.

Can I just do the signal foul?

Yeah.

Waving it at a bounce,

unlike Carlton Fisk in the World Series.

Alright, go ahead, Taylor.

After a rough first start from Matthew Boyd,

the Cubs need a new number one starter

if they want to seriously contend.

Fair foul.

Wow.

Yeah, I think that's fair.

Matthew Boyd was a guy who was good for many years

with the Tigers with never an ace.

Then last year he blossomed, he came excellent.

You go, huh?

I'm always a little hesitant to say a 33 to 34

ultimately becomes an ace.

So show team Inaga, they thought was that guy.

He struggled the second half of the last season.

I think their ace is Kate Horton.

Kate Horton, Horton hears a who

for all those fans of kids animated movies.

This guy had a 103 ERA in the second half of last season.

To me, he's the real deal.

Justice Seal will be back mid-season.

He could be another guy with an ace type stuff.

But yeah, Matthew Boyd to me is a good pitcher

at times very good.

He's not the ace for team that thinks they can win the NL Central.

I want to try this game.

Fair foul.

Time to worry about Aaron Judge.

Huh?

I'm going to say foul,

but I do want to point out Stu had something along the lines

which is that in big pressure moments.

My man does not come through.

No, right?

And I hurt you opening day coming out the WBC

against the Giants on Netflix.

That feels like a big stage.

Yeah.

Oh, five or four Ks.

Gold and some Brawler.

And even more to Stu's point.

How about this?

And all the games which Aaron Judge has struck out four times.

All the times it's happened.

They have a winning record.

They're nine and six when Judge strikes out four more times.

Yes.

How could you be an MVP if you can still

the guy strikes out four times?

Right.

They're almost better without them.

Yep.

So is it big spots if they don't really need him?

Yeah.

Go ahead, Taylor.

Stu, I don't know if you were paying attention to opening day

yesterday, but a single game record was set when the Brewers

struck out the White Sox 20 times.

So Adnan, after striking out 20 times against the Brewers,

the Chicago White Sox will be the worst team in baseball this season.

Fair or foul?

No, that's foul.

The Rockies are still worse, man.

I was just in Denver last week.

I was there for the avalanche game.

And I was laughing to myself.

I said, you know, the stadium is right down to him.

Core's field.

And shockingly, this is a team that is guaranteed to lose at least

100 games.

There were 14th and attendance last year.

I don't know what that says to me.

Is baseball an underappreciated hot butt in Denver?

Are the fans are just going to see the opposing team?

Or are they just like being downtown?

There's nothing else to do in Colorado in the summer.

But shocking to me, a team that can lose 100 and 1015 games

is in the top half and attendance in baseball.

The Rockies will still be worse.

Yes, he was an awful showing for the White Sox.

A ton of strikeouts.

I love Jacob Misrowski, the ace of the Brewers, who struck on 11th.

They're not going to be the worst.

They're going to be better than you think.

There may be a 60-win team, which is still 102 losses,

but not the worst in baseball.

OK, so maybe they won't be the worst.

But will they be bad enough so that they can relocate to the

Dominican Republic this year and nobody notices?

I'm going to say that's fair.

Is he?

Yes, they're going to be bad enough.

They're both.

Those guys could just sneak out in the middle of the night,

head out to DR, send to Domingo.

Let me try again.

Fair or foul.

Paul Schien should not have pitched in the World Baseball Classic.

That's how you do it.

You don't have to question that.

He got shot by the man.

That's fair.

Quite frankly, if he had just been arrested as usual,

probably a little bit fine.

Yes.

He explained so much energy in that game against the Dominican Republic.

I'm thrilled for my buddy, D-Roll.

They won that game.

Two won, got to the final.

They gave it one run.

I believe six hits, over four plus innings.

But yes, a disaster.

Now listen, O'Neal Cruz needs to learn how to catch it before fly ball.

You've got six.

They think he's their Ellie Della Cruz.

They think he's their Frano Tatis Jr.

My man took two steps in, then dragged it back to it,

could not catch the ball.

And those were not unearned runs.

That should be unearned runs of Schien.

So he gets charged with those.

Later on, fly ball, stew, high sky, and queen to 70 in the sun.

He put on some sunglasses, man.

Yeah.

Swing away, turning his glove to shield it, drops that ball as well.

Schien's going two-thirds of an inning, five runs.

The biggest disappointment of opening day,

and he's going to centerfield it to blame.

But maybe you're right.

Maybe he didn't have the WBC weighing on his conscience.

He didn't even fight.

Meanwhile, school ball, who was well-rested

through a gem, I mean.

He'd go, dear, I got one star free.

Great Britain.

That's it.

After that, I'm taking it to the house.

I'm about to get $350 or $400 million this year.

Six innings, 87 pitches.

He allowed three hits.

No runs.

One under it.

School ball was great.

Adnan, thank you.

We'll talk to you next week.

A little bit shorter this week,

because we have I and Eagle coming up.

And I don't need to promote your book,

because you did a great job of doing it by yourself.

I love I and Eagle.

There's a fantastic job as always.

I just, I promise you this.

It already sounds cool to me to say,

I'm on the same show as I and Eagle.

Can we somehow get me and Kenny Albert together?

If that can happen at some point,

just look it up there.

Both two guys selling books,

which are long past their prime.

I would love it.

A couple of authors cutting it up.

How about that?

20 billion is an insane number.

Yeah, 20 billion recovered.

It's actually I think somewhere north probably closer to 22-23 after this year.

And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows.

So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.

Awesome.

Matt Painter.

Do it in the final four.

How about that?

Huh?

Has he been to a final four?

Is he still coaching at Purdue?

Yeah.

Yes.

Purdue, not a team I watched for the first time last night.

This season.

That was like a perfect succession.

I think it was from Katie to Painter, and it hasn't changed, right?

There was nobody in between.

No.

Let's go to before we get to Dan Byer here.

I want to play some sound from Christopher Mad Dogrew.

So a tailor set this up, please, because I have a feeling I was listening to doggy at my way home yesterday.

I have a feeling I know where Taylor is headed.

Go ahead.

So the star of the Giants Yankees Netflix game was how much they showed the people in McCovie Cove kayaking.

And everybody was celebrating.

Oh, how great is kayaking in McCovie Cove.

Noted Giants fan Christopher Mad Dogrew.

So not a fan.

And that don't be stuck with the canoes out there with these balls.

With the home runs.

That is so overplayed.

It's been going off for 25 years.

I think everybody who even loves the Giants has had enough of it.

Guys bouncing around in canoes.

Think it's a big idea to catch some fly ball or to be the first to grab a ball that got wet over the right field fence and over the fan base.

Into the into McCovie Cove.

Who cares?

Who cares?

How about the Giants win some ball games first?

Who the hell cares?

I'm so that is so played out.

It's like seeing time square every year.

Who cares about that too?

Oh, what a waste of time.

Do this stupid canoes stuff.

That's poorly Giants and poorly Netflix.

They think the world cares about a bunch of dope just up is whatever.

Getting a ball out in right field.

Yes.

Telling us they're big Giants fans.

Well, how could you be a big Giants fan when you're sitting in right field in the canoe?

You're not watching a ball game on opening day for crying out loud.

So just to be clear, after they win a few ball games, then anyone can go out to McCovie Cove and ride around in a canoe or a kayak.

But also to be fair to Mad Dog's point, don't say you're a Giants fan.

If you're just sitting in a McCovie Cove, not even really watching the game.

All right.

Okay.

Look, to me, he had me at first where he was just like, this isn't, it sounded like this isn't necessarily about the people in the canoes.

It's just stopped cutting to them.

We don't want to see them.

Who cares?

Hey, Netflix.

Baseball's been around for a while.

McCovie Cove's been around for a while.

This park's been around.

We've seen it before.

We don't need to see it all the time.

I get that.

Yes.

But when you're just hating on the people who are just trying to have a fun experience out there and there are little canoes waiting for a baseball, those people do not deserve that.

But they haven't won a few ball games.

Who knows if they really consider themselves real Giants fans or if they're just people who like to be on the water.

Now, I am totally with dog on time square.

Never been there on New Year's Eve.

No desire to go there on New Year's Eve.

And I think what is he is doing is defending something he would do whether there was a baseball game or not.

Go out in a cove and just kayak.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, I'd like to do that way more than I'd like to go watch a baseball game.

Terrible.

Terrible.

Yeah, I would throw a tomato at that take right now if I could.

More exciting.

A kayaking or a baseball game.

Put it on the ball, Taylor.

All right, Dan.

Stay right where you are because I believe our day has finally arrived.

A tailor has an idea to save baseball.

We've been asking Taylor to do updates around here for a while because he likes to critique all the update anchors here at Fox Sports Radio.

So Taylor, go ahead.

This is just the one this.

Well, no, I could as well.

He gave me a private critique of my one day that I will not share with anyone on this show.

He likes him.

He likes him a lot.

It was not a.

It wasn't critical.

It was just.

He's lying too.

Yeah, I'm totally like.

So anyway, Taylor, set this up here.

This is your idea for Major League Baseball.

So my favorite thing growing up on ESPN, Chris Burman's two minute drill.

And some people have replicated that since Chris Burman, mainly part in my take during football season.

But nobody really does any type of updates for baseball.

And you're looking at how big football is.

And I'm thinking, man, if somebody could just translate what Chris Burman did with the two minute drill to baseball.

Right.

Could that not work?

So you're the guy.

Right.

So up.

I'm the guy.

I've got only one game.

We're only going to do one game from yesterday.

But I was saying first, I need, I need my music.

Is this going to be him or is this going to be him as Chris Burman?

We go out to Cincinnati to great American ballpark.

Or as I like to call it, late American ballpark.

Because we're still waiting for the Reds offense to show up on the bump for Boston.

It was Garrett Croche.

Hey, can you see me throw six scoreless innings in his season debut leading the way for the socks at the plate.

It was Roman Carmelo Anthony for three hits.

And Jared Durand Durand, who was hungry like a wolf for this season to get started said,

forget your state farm, forget your all state.

I've got your insurance right here, adding that third run for good measure in the night.

Then in for the save.

It was a roll this chap.

Man, I feel like a woman because much like my woman watching sports with me.

The only thing he wanted was for that game to end.

Red socks three, red zero.

I don't know how your voice with stood all that, but that was amazing.

Well, it didn't sound like Chris Burman.

It just sounded like Taylor after smoking a pack of heaters.

I mean, except when he said,

Yeah, damn buyer critique that please.

I'm very well done.

I just didn't know who he threw it to at the end, but it was at the TJ or as a teach.

I wasn't sure, but spot on well done.

Also, many levels to the are all the chap man.

I feel like a woman.

Yes.

Yes, but damn, when you say spot on everything but the imitation, right?

I thought it was like his creative interpretation of Chris Burman.

So that's why I was fine with it.

You saved baseball Taylor.

Now imagine that, but just every game.

So I only did one game from yesterday.

So the problem with baseball and why it's so much easier for football,

you have 16 games for football to sit down and write for Monday.

I don't know how we would do this moving forward if I just pick a random game.

But it's just, just know it's on the table.

We can save baseball.

I think a couple of notes.

Yes.

If you don't mind.

No.

The whoop sound wild.

Brilliant.

Love it.

Laughed.

Didn't you just do that when somebody juke somebody?

So does that really belong in a baseball highlight?

Well, I mean, my highlight.

Well, your highlight also was missing, unless I missed it, did we get it back, back, back?

No.

There was no home runs in the game.

That wasn't even like a back back, like to the warning track.

And maybe you could just offer it.

For next time, we'll save it.

Uh, I was saying I got your text, uh, hit the breaking news sound during damn buyer.

Come to the mic and tell us the news.

Breaking news from Fox four guys.

In your neck of the woods, the Martin County Sheriff's Office is saying that Tiger Woods

was involved in a roll over crash earlier today in Jupiter Island.

The accident reportedly occurred around two o'clock.

No details on Tiger's health in the matter or what actually happened, but Tiger Woods

involved in a roll over crash in Jupiter Island.

Man, I mean, just played in the, uh, that indoor league in Jupiter, uh, in the finals.

Everyone made a big deal about it.

And now he's in another car accident.

And he was trying to get back to play a gust of this year, is he?

So kind of interesting.

What's going on with Tiger?

I'm going to text my friend and the Martin County Firehouse and see if they have any further detail.

I'm trying to set that on the air, but I'm going to try to get to the bottom of the store.

Look at him.

The journalist takes over the second.

He finds out news about Tiger Woods in a roll over accident.

Obviously, we hope Tiger is okay.

I don't know how it's going to impact him playing golf moving forward.

I think the chances of that were pretty slim to begin with before the accident.

Just because of everything Tiger has been through and his body has been through over the

many, many years of playing on the tour end over the previous car accidents.

Right.

Yes.

So, uh, interesting stuff there.

All right.

Keep us posted if, uh, is he?

I'm talking to you.

I'm on my phone.

I got him.

Shester.

If anything else, anybody needs to know anything in Martin County.

Yes.

Yes.

Uh, we will get to Taylor singing in just a moment here.

I want to play some sound from a Dremont Green.

I was saying, if you have it back there, um, this is from his own podcast.

I believe is he because everything he says is on his own podcast.

I believe it's because the athletes don't need us anymore.

I believe this was from a post game.

I believe he would ask the question, but this is, let me say this.

He should have saved it for his podcast.

Well, he should have.

Yes.

Yes.

Absolutely.

But I believe, uh, we're playing it because I had mentioned recently about me not loving Victor

Wimbledon Yama giving his, you know, three step approach to winning the MVP or his

plan to wear a case on winning the MVP.

Yeah.

And Dremont chimed it on it as well.

I hated it.

And I absolutely loved it.

The reason I hated it is because until Wimbledon said defense is 50% of the game.

It was like, oh, man, no one realized that, right?

Like no one realized that 50% of the game we play is on that end of the floor.

So he comes out and makes his profound ass statement.

And it's like, oh, of course it is.

And everybody's like, oh, man, he has a great point.

Hello.

You think?

So I hated it because he had to do that for that to then be said.

All of a sudden you turn on TV and everybody's like, actually, maybe what man is the MVP?

And I can agree with that.

Maybe he is.

But the fact that he has to come out and remind people, hey, y'all see what I do over there?

It's like an indictment on the game of basketball.

Hmm.

How?

Well, it's the fans not realizing that defenses have the games.

It's an important part of the game.

And I got news for Dremont.

We don't.

I mean, well, I mean, this was Dremont obviously elevating his portion of what he does on the floor,

which is defensive.

But I completely, completely disagree with the idea that defense is half of the game.

Right.

Because what do people tell you all the time?

Good offense will always beat good defense.

Yeah.

Good defense, better offense.

It is not a 50-50 thing.

If you want to go by, let's say shooting percentage, right?

A decent shooter will shoot about 50%.

So if you're saying that the other 50%, he has just played good defense.

No.

Right.

Why open shots?

That's horrible defense.

Yes.

Defense is not quite the same as offense and it has been played that way or has been judged

that way and has been awarded that way since the beginning of the NBA.

You know what I say to people all the time, though, right?

Is he?

No, it's a defense wins championships.

Yeah.

And it does.

Right.

It does.

Yes.

But that defense becomes, hey, I want to be really good and I want to play harder and

I'm going to stop them one or two or three more possessions that I normally do in the

regular season.

That still isn't 50-50.

Uh, Taylor, put it on the pole.

Can you say you hate something and moments later say you love it?

I mean.

Dreymon at the beginning of that said, I hate it.

But I love it.

Yeah.

No, but it's also very Dreymon.

Yes.

But yeah, I think I wanted to listen to that hoping that Dreymon had this great point

about it.

Right.

But really, he's just mad that Wembee is selling himself out there and trying to give

himself a reason to bump himself up as a result.

But really, it's not going to look like I think 10 years from now, Wembee is going to

look back and be like, yeah, I probably shouldn't have given my case for MVP.

He's young.

He'll learn as he goes here.

But I actually liked it from this standpoint.

The guy cares.

He cares enough where he had like a three point plan as to why he should be the NBA's MVP.

And I love that because it's been a while since we've had a guy like Wembee who feels

like all of this, everything, every second of it means the world to him is he, and that's

a good thing for the league.

Oddly enough, I think that was in the question too, where he was like, yeah, give me your

like three step plan for, or not plan, but a case for MVP.

And he had them.

Right.

The reason that I don't love Dreymon saying that, you know, oh, duh, the league should

know I should be getting more awards because defense is half of the game is Wembee because

of his ability and his length, he could argue I make defense more than half of the game.

I take away the entire paint for a tee.

That's way different than when Dreymon, Dreymon can blow up a play, Dreymon, you know, one

on one, you don't want to mess with him.

But if Dreymon's in the paint, people aren't avoiding the paint.

They're going to try to go up and dunk on him, right?

He might knock you down.

He might flagrantly foul you.

But Victor Wembee, I mean, you got people just avoiding the painted area in general.

And that creates a different level of defensive mattering, right?

The more than 50 percent, if you're taking away most of the team's offense, that's different

than anything Dreymon has ever played.

I think Wembee is the MVP.

He saved the all-star game, I mean, yes.

And the spurs are a lot better than people thought, a lot sooner than people thought.

And so therefore, he cares.

He cares about this stuff deeply.

I'm not saying the other guys don't, but this guy seems to be a throwback to guys who played

in the 80s.

Would you like to hear Taylor sing?

Is he?

Oh, my goodness.

No.

But I do want the rest of the audience to hear him sing.

So I have heard this song, and by the way, we have Salicada on the podcast and we also

have Adam Lefko on the podcast.

We played this song for Salicada on the podcast.

So I've had a sneak preview here and what I am telling you, and we will tease it, we'll

play it, coming up here in the next segment.

What I'll tell you is, is this is something that you don't want to hear.

But without further ado, let's play Taylor Song, Taylor put together a song here.

He's got a terrible voice, which makes it better for this show and for radio.

Let's check it out.

So is he the song context?

The Mets have a rookie Carson Benj, who is their phenom right fielder.

He was their first round pick in 2024, made his MLB debut yesterday, and he homered

in his MLB debut.

While the call is courtesy of Howie Rose on Mets Radio, the song is courtesy of your

boy.

First pitch Benj hits it in the air to right field, fairly deep, or heard back at the wall,

and it's gone.

He hit it off the canopy, and the right field bullped Carson Benj makes his first major

league hit a whole rod.

Congratulations to Carson Benj, as he gets an enthusiastic pat on the back from third-base

coach Tim Leeper on a aggressive fist bump from Francisco Alvarez, and they're willing

to congratulate the kid and the Mets dug out Carson Benj, his first major league knock-in

homer, and the Mets take a 10-to-5-lead.

Benj, the Mets don't need to look no more.

We just found what we were looking for, with a swing to call our own.

We still crush it in the zone, and you, my Benj, will see.

You've got us filled with grief.

Oh, that's great.

He's got his own backup second.

Benj, you sent that ball into the air.

Benj, you crushed that thing up out of there.

If you check out Benj's deadline, you will like what you find.

The Holy wills you know.

It's Benj and Wonsoda.

Benj and Wonsoda.

Little lighter.

What was that song?

It's Ben, by Michael Jackson.

Never heard of that song, but it's a great song.

It was a good song choice, because even though I'd never heard of it, it still worked.

His voice is terrible.

James Taylor, you are not.

Was that very, like, almost inaudible women's voice?

Was that part of the actual thing, or was that somebody that you had singing that?

No, so that was me downloading the Ben karaoke, and not being able to find a version that

didn't have the female actual singing the song, so it's just the actual song just much,

much lower.

That was amazing.

I saw a headline with his name on it and thought his name was Benjy, which I thought would

have been better.

But that's not your fault.

That's just how he pronounces his name.

And I will say, I think your singing voice has gotten a little better.

A little, a little better.

Listen, he nailed Chris Burman, so it's okay to be a little bit off on the singing voice.

So the first time I did the song, so the reason why I do the songs is because I was an old

school levitar show, It's Do Got's listener, and the worst the songs are, the funnier.

So the first time I pitched a song, somebody was like, oh, you should auto tune your voice,

so it sounds better.

Listen, I don't, I don't need to explain the show to you, but I'm doing a thing here.

I also don't know if there is enough auto tune on the planet to make that sound particularly

great.

Put it on the polls, turn off auto tune on the planet to make Taylor's voice good.

However, when you layer horrible with a little background horrible, yes, that's not terrible.

Two horribles make a decent, no, I'm going to try to squeeze in a quick question to you

is he before Adnan Burke joins us.

George Gervin who did not trademark the iceman is upset because Caleb Williams did trademark

the iceman.

How do you feel about that?

I feel like George Gervin had a lot of time to learn how to trademark something, how much

money he can make from trademarking something, and to kind of look around and make sure nobody

else had the nickname, therefore had plenty of time, my man, I'm sorry, George, 87799

Fox.

Want to talk baseball with Adnan Burke or movies?

We do so next.

What about chocolate?
