Speaker 2: it's three and a half hours away from my house,

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: but closer to my uh but closer to my house

28
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: and the studio's down at South Beach. Half of that.

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 2: What I just said to people is I live in

30
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: South Florida, and the west coast of South Florida is

31
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: closer to my house than where Dan makes me drive

32
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: every day to do the goddamn radio show. It is unbelievable.

33
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what are you doing in Tampa? You?

34
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: Oh God, don't tell me you went to the Island

35
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: the game, did you.

36
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 4: I came down and I went to the Islander game

37
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: where an Islander stuff and they lost eight nothing. And

38
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 4: what I tell you, I was ready. I went in

39
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 4: there with such a buzz. I had my brother and

40
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 4: my nephew with me. They're both big goons. I'm like,

41
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 4: we're gonna and there's so many Islanders in Tampa. We

42
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 4: walked in, we were ready to like we would just

43
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 4: get rowdy. And it was one nothing in forty five seconds,

44
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 4: and then it was eight, and then it was eight.

45
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: And I walked out with my head down. Low and

46
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 4: I got. I mean, people in Tampa they're they're just

47
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 4: so used to it. They're like, well, try again next time.

48
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 4: Thanks buddy, title town.

49
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something that fucking coots your off ship,

50
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: that is. But listen, Tampa, I'm telling you right now,

51
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: you win the Stanley Cup, it will not be a

52
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup in my personal record book. You do not

53
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: get to go without your best player. The entire regular

54
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: season rest in and then for salary capwais in some

55
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: lame rule in hockey. All of a sudden, you're getting

56
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 2: the wait. The modern day Wayne Gretzky is back in

57
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 2: your line though, and the guy three assisted and ain't

58
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: nothing win. He's one of the best players in hockey.

59
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: And so what I'm telling you is in my personal

60
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: record book. If the Lightning win a Stanley Cup championship

61
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: this year, it won't count my personal record book. But Mike,

62
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: that's an embarrassment. You go down there, You're dressed an

63
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: Islander gear and you're all fired up the game. You're

64
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: coming off a big emotional victory in game four, knowing

65
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: game five, did you wear a mask? Because I promise

66
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: you no one else in Tampa is wearing a fucking.

67
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 4: Mask to dive. But wearing a mask in a year,

68
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 4: it was absolutely just completely different when you're in Connecticut

69
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 4: and you have to like drive with a mask on,

70
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: you know, even if you're by yourself. And then I

71
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 4: walk into an arena and everybody's like, hey, how you doing.

72
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 4: I'm like, nobody is wearing a mask to sit in.

73
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 4: The guy's coughing in my face, Hey, how you doing it?

74
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: So it's been jarring my way because down in Florida,

75
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: we've been open even during the entire pandemic. You would

76
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: not know there was a pandemic down there. It's why

77
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: everyone moved down there. It's why the housing market is

78
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: on fire down there. People just want to move down

79
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: there because the rules are different. And now I'm up

80
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: in New York and I'm like, oh, this is the

81
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: way it's supposed to be. It's like people are still

82
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: taking this thing seriously as we should.

83
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: You know, my wife packed I think forty masks for

84
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 4: all all of us, and basically I think we've used

85
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: like two because we're we're in New York. You get

86
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 4: dirty looks when you're not wearing a mask in Florida,

87
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: you're getting dirty looks like, why is that person wearing

88
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 4: a mask?

89
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: The forty masks that you and your wife bond are

90
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: more than the entire Tampa area has. Congratulations, you and

91
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: your wife have more masks than all of Tampa combined.

92
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: Honestly, I've just been using them to mop up sweat

93
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 4: from under my arms because I gotta tell you, man,

94
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 4: I've been sitting in ball soup since I got here.

95
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: I told you, dude, like, listen, ball soup. What's the

96
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: matter with you? Seriously? Ball soup? And the hotel room

97
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: you're in so Tampa right now, it's got like flamingo color.

98
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: This is my father's house.

99
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: It was your dad, who.

Speaker 4: eighties stuff from our house in New York.

00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 2: Doesn't have plastic over it.

104
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 4: No, no, but I mean it's just no, that's where

105
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 4: that's where we try to lie.

123
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: The voice of the New York Yankees, Yankee broadcaster ESPN

124
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 2: New York Sports Radio person does the afternoon shows, and

125
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: host of Yes Network Center Stage. Has a new book,

126
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 2: center Stage. My most fascinating interview is from a Rod

127
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: to jay Z. Book is already out. It's available wherever

128
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: you purchase your books. Mike, the most nervous you've been

129
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: for an interview? I love center Stage, It's fantastic, but

130
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: I am wondering the most nervous Michael O. Kay has

131
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: ever been for an interview on Center Stage.

132
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 5: It was probably the Mike Tyson interview because there were

133
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 5: times that he's on on stage and I thought he

134
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 5: was gonna hit me. So that got a little nervous,

135
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 5: and people are like sitting on the edge of their seats,

136
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 5: and you know, he was crying, he was laughing. You know,

137
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 5: you go between happy and sad. And when I asked

138
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 5: him about his tattoo on his face, he looked like

139
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 5: he was gonna punch me. So I was a little

140
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 5: nervous then.

141
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: To tell you the truth, is that the most nervous

142
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 2: you've been, like period, flat out like like because we've

143
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: had Tyson on our show before me and Levator and

144
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: end up telling you that's it's an emotional rollercoaster with

145
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: Mike where one second he's happy and the next second

146
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: you swear he's on a place ain't coming down to

147
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: kill you. And so, uh, was that the most nervous

148
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: you've been?

149
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 5: You know, just nervous in terms of like, you know,

150
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 5: my physical wellbeing. Other guys, you know, you get get

151
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 5: a little butterflies, you know. I had some butterflies obviously

152
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 5: with Paul Simon because I'm such a fan of his

153
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 5: work and you know, you know Adam Sandler, although Adam

154
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 5: Samdler was certainly disarming in the way he is. But

155
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 5: you know, these these people that we've had on, they're

156
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 5: huge stars. So uh, you don't want to mess it up,

157
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 5: so you have butterflies. But I don't think. I don't

158
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 5: think I was nervous, except for you know, Tyson hitting me.

159
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: Mike, you're a huge star. So I imagine some people sit

160
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: down and well, Mike, no, you are because you're the

161
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: voice of the Yankees. You have a great afternoon show

162
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: on ESPN Radio in New York, and you're a massive star.

163
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: And so I imagine there are people who have sat

164
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: down and like, holy shit, I'm sitting right across from

165
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: Michael Kay, Like, have you felt that? People?

166
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 5: I have never ever, ever in my life, ever ever

167
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 5: ever felt never one, never, Mike.

168
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: Someone's had to sit down there, who's just like a

169
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: massive Yankee fan who wanted to meet you, Like there

170
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: has to be somebody, Well, yeah, you're being humble.

171
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 5: It was like a fan we pulled out of the audience.

172
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 5: Maybe they'd be a little bit, but I don't think

173
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 5: like Stilvester Stallone was sitting there though, Oh my God,

174
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 5: I'm sitting with Michael No, I don't think any of

175
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 5: them getting nervous.

176
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 2: Oh that's so great. Center stage my most fascinating interviews

177
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: from a Rod to jay Z. The book is out. Now,

178
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: who's the person Michael Kay sat down to interview and

179
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: was like, holy shit, I can't believe this person is

180
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 2: sitting across from me.

181
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 5: It was probably it was probably Paul Simon, because Paul

182
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 5: Simon walked out with a guitar, came out on stage

183
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 5: and I said, well, that's probably maybe a pacifier or

184
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 5: you know, a prop, and he put it next to

185
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 5: the big chair and we're doing the show and like

186
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 5: I sit maybe like two feet away from the guests.

187
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 5: And then he's answering questions about certain songs like why

188
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 5: do you use Jodamagino not Mickey Mannle and Missus Robinson,

189
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 5: And then he picks up the guitar and starts like

190
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 5: going through each line and what he did it. And

191
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 5: I'm sitting there looking at him, and it's hard to

192
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 5: concentrate because if if you're gonna do a good interview,

193
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 5: you have to listen to the answer. I'm just like daydreaming.

194
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 5: I'm sitting this close to Paul Simon, like, if the

195
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 5: world goes on another five thousand years, Paul Simon's music

196
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 5: is still going to be really important. And by the way,

197
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 5: the answer to that question was syllables.

198
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: Wait, Mike, So it's interesting what you just brought up,

199
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 2: because Michael okay with us. Dan Patrick once was on

200
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: with me and Levator and right when we were starting

201
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 2: out our radio show, and we were asking him the

202
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: keys to doing a good interview, and he said, guys,

203
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: the most simple advice, the simplest advice I can give you.

204
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: It's easy. Just listen. Listen to what it is your

205
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: guest is saying, don't just go to the next question.

206
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: And so, Mike, it sounds like such a simple lesson

207
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: to say, hey, just listen, but easier said than dumb

208
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: and Paul Simon sitting next to you a guitar.

209
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 5: Right, it is. And I agree with Dan and so

210
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 5: many great interviewers that are considered great interviewers, they have

211
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 5: lists of questions, right, and then you hear, like the

212
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 5: guy that that they're interviewing go. And by the way,

213
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 5: before I got here, I was actually abducted by aliens

214
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 5: and I spent three days in a ship and they go, well,

215
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 5: what happened on your next movie? I mean they just so,

216
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 5: I mean, you could really make yourself look bad if

217
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 5: you don't listen. But yeah, obviously people should listen because

218
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 5: when we do on stage, we have like a skeleton

219
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 5: that we put together. It's eight segments of how we want,

220
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 5: you know, the interview to go and with questions and everything.

221
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 5: But I know I've done a decent job when I

222
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 5: don't use most of the questions. So you just have

223
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 5: to listen and go off of the answers. That's the

224
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 5: best way to do.

225
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: Acted by aliens. But what about that button? The fourth thing? Wait,

226
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: so that's interesting. So you feel like, because I'm totally

227
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: with you, Like, if Dan and I don't get to

228
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: most of our questions, those usually turned out to be

229
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: the best interviews that we've done.

230
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 5: You feel the same absolutely, because that means that the

231
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 5: guest took you down a path that wasn't predictable. Because

232
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 5: most of these people that were interviewing they're really really

233
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 5: well known. I'm trying to get the arc of their

234
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 5: life in an hour. So if I don't get to

235
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 5: the questions that I have, that means that they went

236
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 5: somewhere that they'd never gone before. Because you know, every

237
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 5: time we book a guest, they send me like seventy

238
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 5: eight hundred pages of research. So you really do a

239
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 5: lot of homework on these people. You know everything about them,

240
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 5: and if they go somewhere else, that's great. That's what

241
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 5: I want.

242
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 2: So you host your radio show with two guy Don

243
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: the Greca and Peter Rosenberg. Which one listens? Who's the

244
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 2: worst listener of the two?

245
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 5: I think it's Peter.

246
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: All over there.

247
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 5: If Peter is actually you know, he's got so many

248
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 5: things going on in his life. He's sending out like

249
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 5: stuff on his album, and like I could say, we

250
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 5: just know if Peter needs a break, just go to

251
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 5: a baseball guest and then Peter's gone. So that's.

252
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: Michael his new book. Go ahead, Mikey.

253
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 4: We have a lot of guests on the show, and

254
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 4: I have ones I call trust me interviews where I

255
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 4: try and get somebody to listen and I'm like, just

256
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 4: trust me, listen to this one. Who's the what's the

257
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 4: one interview you had where you were like, if I

258
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 4: could get anybody to listen to any of these, just

259
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 4: listen to this one.

260
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 5: You know what I think it would be Larry David.

261
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 5: Larry David was so great and you know, obviously you

262
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 5: guys asked me about nervousness. I was really anxious about

263
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 5: that one because he's so smart and so funny, and

264
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 5: I didn't know if I was gonna get Larry from

265
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 5: Curb where he'd be nasty too, and real life Larry

266
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 5: is kind of like Larry from Kurb, but somewhat less mean,

267
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 5: and just from that interview and I thought he was

268
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 5: hilarious and funny and all of that. We've become, like,

269
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 5: not name dropping, we've kind of become friends where he'll

270
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 5: text me during Yankee games, what did Boone take out

271
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 5: Chad Green? I don't understand it as the game's going on.

272
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 5: I'm doing play by play. I look down at my

273
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 5: phone and I could hear it in his voice. So,

274
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 5: I mean, the whole show was like that. And so

275
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 5: many people have come up and told me I love

276
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 5: the Larry David Show, So that would be the one.

277
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 5: I'd say, yeah, definitely listen to that one.

278
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 4: I've heard that he has gone out during stand up

279
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 4: and he's walked out and looked at the crowd and said,

280
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 4: this isn't going to work out, and he's left the

281
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 4: stage and just didn't do a set. So I would

282
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 4: be nervous that he might even just not do the interview.

283
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 4: He'd walk out and just you know, look at what

284
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: you're wearing or something and go, no, I don't want

285
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 4: to do this interview.

286
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 5: In Lee he could definitely do that, and this is

287
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 5: the perfect Larry story, all right, So we do the

288
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 5: interview on Santa stage. A year later, he calls me up.

289
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 5: He says, I got to do a speech at Emerson

290
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 5: College because my daughter goes there and I promised them

291
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 5: I would do it. I said, oh, that sounds like fun.

292
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 5: He goes, No, it's not fun at all. He goes,

293
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 5: I hate being on stage alone. He said, So here's

294
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 5: what I want. Would you drive to Boston and recreate

295
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 5: centa stage with me on the stage. I said yeah, okay,

296
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 5: So I drove up. We did like an hour and

297
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 5: a half and that was kind of great. And then,

298
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 5: like every time, like a new season of Curb comes out,

299
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 5: they have a big premiere of the ninety second Street

300
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 5: Why in New York, and so he asked me to

301
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 5: come host it. So I do it. I love doing it.

302
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 5: I'm flattered that he does it. So I put the

303
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 5: book together and I want to get two forwards in

304
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 5: the book. I want Bob Costas, who actually wrote the forward,

305
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 5: and I want Larry Dad. Now we're friends, and I

306
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 5: don't consider doing anything for a friend of favor, but

307
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 5: I've dragged I've driven to Boston for him. I run

308
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 5: out of my radio show to go do a two

309
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 5: hour event at the Why All on the arm, which

310
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 5: is what a friend does, right, And I just Bob

311

Speaker 5: Costas said, yes, absolutely, send me the galleys. I'll read it.

312
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 5: He wrote a great forward and the other forward I

313
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 5: asked Larry and he calls up. He goes, uh, yeah,

314
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 5: I'm not going to do it. And that was it.

315
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 5: It was like Larry David, I said why, He goes,

316
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 5: I don't fix it. And I thought he would soul,

317
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 5: but he said, no, I'm.

318
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,119
Speaker 2: Not going to do it. That's amazing.

319
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 4: Are you mad?

320
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 2: Will you ned? Were you upset? Chat a little seems

321
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: so yeah, but you know, we going.

322
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 5: Back and forth on text and he's like giving me

323
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 5: the reasons why, and like the text was like, yeah,

324
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 5: twenty minutes and I said, you know the time that

325
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 5: you just took to like, explain all this. You could

326
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 5: have written forward forward, great idea. She said, you know

327
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 5: what you should do? I said, well, she goes, just

328
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 5: print the whole text exchange is to forward. I didn't

329
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 5: want to do that.

330
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,239
Speaker 2: Being friends with Larry David seems exhaustible.

331
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 5: You definitely have to his rules.

332
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: And Michael don't look now, Larry David's an example of

333
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: someone who's excited to meet Michael Ka. Okay, you don't

334
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: think somebody's texting you dur engage. How often does that happen?

335
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 2: Where people are texting you, celebrities are texting you, not

336
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: often because everyone loves it.

337
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think any Larry like that for sure.

338
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 2: Michael Okay is with us here on Potty. The Great

339
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 2: Michael Okay his new book Center Stage, his most fascinating

340
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 2: interviews from a Rod to Jay Z It is out

341
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 2: right now. The guests you thought would be bad but

342
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: turned out to be great. Oh you have one of those? Yeah,

343
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if we've had that.

344
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 5: I mean, there have been guests that I thought would

345
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 5: be great that we're awful. Few we've ever done. It

346
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 5: was unbelievable.

347
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: Really, he came in and you.

348
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 5: Know when you when you commit the center stage, just

349
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 5: like an hour half an hour and a half commitment,

350
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 5: you know, with makeup and then sitting down doing the show.

351
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 5: And for some reason, he came there thinking it was

352
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 5: an eight eight minute interview, like like he was on

353
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 5: Regis and Kelly and you know. His publicist then told him, no, no,

354
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 5: it's an hour. So he was chapped right away. He

355
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 5: sits down on stage. First two interviews, first two segments.

356
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 5: It's an eight segment show. Yes, no, yes, no, all

357
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 5: the answers yes and no. And so after the second segment,

358
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 5: I lean over to him at the commercial, I said, hey, listen,

359
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 5: the show's an hour, whether you yes and know it

360
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 5: or not. I said, I got thousands of questions. I said,

361
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 5: at the end of it, you're gonna look bad. I'll

362
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 5: be fine, So you decide how you want this to go.

363
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 5: And he was like startled that somebody would talk to

364
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 5: him like that, and he picked it up. But it

365
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 5: was still an absolute train wreck show. And I watch

366
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 5: him now like I see him on The Tonight Show

367
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 5: or Kimmel and he's a really good guest in eight minutes,

368
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 5: but over an hour not good.

369
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 2: Imagine talking to Tyson like that.

370
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, that I wouldn't have said that to Mike. I

371
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 5: would have less he would have yet be for an hour.

372
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 5: I would have been fine.

373
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 2: Michael, You've had so many great guests over the years,

374
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 2: and so I'm wondering, who's the guy who's the person

375
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: that you haven't had on Center Stage that you're dying

376
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 2: to get on Center Stage?

377
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 5: My white whale would be Springsteen, Billy, Joel and H

378
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 5: and Jerry Seinfeld. H Springsteen's people say he doesn't like

379
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 5: to do long form interviews.

380
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 2: He doesn't show on Broadway. You know what he gets

381
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 2: paid for that? What do they pay for Center Stage?

382
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:13,959
Speaker 4: Anything?

383
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 5: I think they give you a Yankee jacket. They do

384
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 5: give you. I'm surprised you can't get Jerry because he's

385
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 5: really close with Larry, and Larry has obviously had a

386
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 5: good experience on the show. And the only thing I

387
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 5: can think is that Jerry's such a big net fan.

388
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 5: Maybe he doesn't want to go on the y S network,

389
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 5: or maybe I should get Gary Cohen to fill in

390
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 5: for me for one show.

391
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 2: Center Stage. My most fascinating interviews, Michael, I want to

392
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 2: ask you here. It's available wherever you buy your books.

393
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: I want to ask you here because I followed your

394
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 2: career most of your career growing up in New York,

395
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: and so I'm just wondering, like Mike, you you grew

396
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: up a big Yankee fan, Michael, growing up, and so

397
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: I've always wondered what was it like for you growing

398
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: up as a Yankee fan and then go going into

399
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 2: the booth for that first game, if you could take

400
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: us through the emotional ride of your first game, calling

401
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: your first game for the New York Yankees. Having grown

402
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 2: up as a Yankee fan, I've always been interested in

403
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 2: what that was like for you.

404
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 5: Well, I grew up and you know, I knew John

405
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 5: that I was awful as a baseball player early. So

406
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 5: at nine years old, I told my parents I wanted

407
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 5: to be the Yankee announcer, and they were actually receptive,

408
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 5: but they always kept telling me, well make sure you

409
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 5: have a fall back because they realized.

410
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 2: So my parents said the same to me like.

411
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 4: Spart.

412
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 5: So the first game ever was nineteen ninety two. It

413
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 5: was the Yankees against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium,

414
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 5: and it was Scott Sanderson against Roger Clemens. Scott Sanderson

415
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 5: to the Yankees, and I remember walking into the booth

416
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 5: and taking a deep breath and feeling like I had

417
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 5: to go to the bathroom. I mean, my heart was beating.

418
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 5: And I sit down next to John and I'm writing

419
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 5: down my line card, and you know, you're thinking about

420
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 5: why I can't believe this is really happening, and you

421
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 5: just think somebody's gonna pull the plug in your dream,

422
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 5: that you're it's all a fantasy, but it was real.

423
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 5: Stadium's jammed, looks great, beautiful day. And with about thirty

424
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 5: seconds to air, John Sterling turns to me and said, Uh,

425
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 5: as you embark on this new career, I have two

426
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 5: bits of advice for you. And I said, oh, this

427
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 5: is great talk for my sternum. You know the whole deal.

428
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 5: You know how to project my voice. He goes, uh,

429
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 5: never asked me my age on the air, And I

430
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 5: talked to myself quite often, please don't be alarmed, and

431
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,959
Speaker 5: the engineer goes, you're on, and that was the beginning.

432
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 5: I brought.

433
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: Very comforting words from Sterling. Hey, Mike, you got this

434
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 2: good luck, don't worry about it. You're gonna be great.

435
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 2: Not just I talked to myself, don't be alarmed.

436
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 5: You know what those are really good bits of advice.

437
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 5: Because John, in the ten years I've worked with him,

438
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 5: when I was doing like the play by play, he

439
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 5: would do the color obviously, but he would turn to

440
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 5: the side right and he would have a running dialogue

441
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 5: with no one. And if he had not warned me

442
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 5: that he spoke to himself, I would have freaked out.

443
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 5: But it became a thing that there were three people

444
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 5: in the booth, but I never met the third person.

445
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: But you still feel like you're living out a dream, right,

446
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 2: Like this is like every day you head to the stadium,

447
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: it's pinch me moments.

448
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 5: Right, eight single day. I mean, I'm not being corny

449
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 5: about it. I walk in that booth every day and

450
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 5: I go and the amazing thing John, it's thirty years now,

451
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 5: and it's gone by in an idlink. People look at me.

452
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 5: I'm say, Michael, you look like you're fifteen years old.

453
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 5: How could it be thirty years? But I don't look fifteen.

454
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 5: That was just a joke. You're supposed to laugh, But

455
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 5: uh no, no, thirty years. I can't believe it's gone by.

456
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 5: And every single day I appreciate it. I never take

457
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 5: it for granted, and I know that it could be

458
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 5: taken away at any moment, one slip of the tongue

459
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 5: when somebody changes their mind. I get that. But even

460
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 5: if it then tomorrow thirty years is pretty cool.

461
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 2: Great, run better feeling that first game you called or

462
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 2: beating my francessa at afternoon trib.

463
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 5: You know what, I gotta tell you, it might be beating francessen.

464
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: I think it is.

465
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, the Yankee thing was so exciting

466
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 5: and it was a thrill, but in terms of you know,

467
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 5: every day is a thrill. But that day when that

468
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 5: book came in and we beat him and he had

469
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 5: just been so nasty about us and so so dismissive,

470
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 5: it was. It was I had to take a shower afterward, feeling.

471
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's great. Do you have a good francessa

472
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: story of Mike just being Mike just being an ass?

473
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 5: Well when I, yeah, I do. I've never told this.

474
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: Oh wow, good We.

475
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 5: Had just I had just gotten the radio show. So

476
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 5: it was like when the Yes Network started, and it

477
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 5: was twenty years twenty years ago, and I was at

478
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 5: Madison Square Garden and listen the show was at ten

479
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 5: in the morning. From ten to one, I was in

480
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 5: their competition, and Mike and Chris were at the garden

481
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 5: and I was at the garden because I used to

482
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 5: do pre and posts for the Knicks, and I just

483
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 5: walked up to them and I said, listen, I'm starting

484
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 5: you know this this talk show. You guys have any advice?

485
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 5: Why would I give you any advice? You're a competitor.

486
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 5: I wouldn't. I'll give you any advice. You walked away,

487
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 5: and that you know why. I get him credit. You know,

488
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 5: Russo wanted to this whole thing. You tell me, you

489
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 5: know the whole deal, which is great. But Mike just well,

490
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 5: I would I give you any advice. You worked for

491
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 5: another station. You're a competitor. That okay, thank you, thank

492
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 5: you a lot.

493
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 2: You did okay with that his advice though those advice

494
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: must have been good. It did, but that was weird.

495
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 2: Like you grew up listen, I will. You didn't grow

496
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 2: up listening to them. I grew up listening to them.

497
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 2: ESPN New York was not around when I was growing

498
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 2: up as a kid, so they were like for many people,

499
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 2: that's the place you went to one to six o'clock

500
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 2: to get reaction to the big game the night before,

501
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: just what's going on in New York sports. So I'm

502
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 2: certain at some level, at some point, like you were

503
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 2: a fan of those two and then to actually go

504
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 2: out there and beat him had to feel amazing.

505
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 5: Had to feel great. Well, And you know, I never

506
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 5: ended up beating Mike and Chris because when they were together,

507
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 5: we were actually on Paul am signal. But then when Mike,

508
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 5: you know, Mike kept dominating even after Chris went to

509
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 5: Serious XM, and you know, we we played with a lot,

510
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 5: you know, the business. There were a lot of things

511
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 5: against us, for sure. You know, I had the Yankees

512
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 5: on their station. We had a very bad signal, so

513
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 5: we went to FM they you know, they had their

514
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 5: heritage station. And it took a long long time. But

515
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 5: when we finally and the fact that we did it

516
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 5: right before he got out, because I could since it

517
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 5: was happening over the last two years, we kept coming

518
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 5: really really close, and whether you counted streaming or not,

519
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 5: we had been beating him for two years. But I

520
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 5: just wanted to get it done before he walked away

521
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 5: for good. And then when we did that, that was

522
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 5: that was a big deal. I know, although I have

523
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 5: great respect for the career, that he had that that

524
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 5: bothers him. He could say it doesn't because he's been

525
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 5: asked Regal well, sixty to one, you know, I'll take sixty. Yeah,

526
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 5: but the last inning was ours. So that's the one

527
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 5: that he's with you.

528
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 2: Michael, you have pride and you have ego. We all

529
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 2: do in this business, some of us too much. But

530
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 2: for same with me. When Dan and I set out,

531
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: I remember the competing radio station. It was WQIM, same situation,

532
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: heritage radio station Dan in Miami. Dan and I said

533
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 2: out to do a show. The first couple of weeks

534
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 2: we were on the air, I remember the GM calling us.

535
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 2: He said what we were doing was sissy boys sports radio.

536
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 2: And then eighteen months later we had twelve shares and

537
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: we were kicking everyone's ass and so and it felt

538
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 2: great and so. And that's that's the only reason I

539
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 2: brought it up, because I know how horrid you guys

540
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 2: worked to climb that mountain. They had a twenty five

541
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 2: year head store of you guys, So I know how

542
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: horrid you have to climb out, and I was super

543
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 2: happy when you did it.

544
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 5: After we did it, though, now we've got to take

545
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 5: on Carton, who's doing great. So, I mean, it's always

546
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 5: a new challenge. And you know, I've been I've been

547
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 5: asked this, so I feel more. I feel more pressure

548
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 5: with Carton than I did with Francesca because with Francessa

549
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 5: we were a little engine that could. Nobody expected us

550
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 5: to beat him. But now we were in first place

551
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 5: when Carton came. And Carton's made great inroads and it's

552
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 5: beating us in a lot of weeks. And it's just

553
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 5: you know, he's he's a he's a really good radio talent.

554
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 2: He's fantastic, he's uh, he's super talented. Plus you know

555
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 2: he's gonna work hard. Mike was mailing it in at

556
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 2: the end. You know, Carton man, he is out to

557
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 2: get you.

558
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 5: Oh no, this means the world that you know obviously

559
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 5: had a situation and I'm glad that everything's all in

560
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 5: his life. But it's it's gonna be a.

561
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 2: Bait of an open question. But I think it will

562
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 2: make sense to you, is look, Greca gonna be okay.

563
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: Like just in general, no one could get no one

564
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 2: can get this mad about so many things.

565
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 5: The one thing that's weird is that most people think

566
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 5: it's all. It's all, you know, made up. Oh I

567
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 5: know it's not, because if it was made up, he

568
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 5: it more because it gets so much. You know, he

569
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 5: really gets angry and like when you see his face

570
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 5: turn like beat red. I worry about him because he's

571
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 5: not the best of shape. But I think he's gonna

572
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 5: be all right.

573
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 2: Okay, good. I read Robert de Niro was at your wedding?

574
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 5: Is that absolutely untrue? As somebody really fake news?

575
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean I saw the Wikipedia because I was

576
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: gonna say, it'd be hard to make it your wife's

577
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 2: day if Robert de Niro is at the wedding.

578
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 5: It was weird because we had the wedding at the

579
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 5: Plaza Hotel, so there were a lot of like Yankees

580
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 5: there and my uncle Danny Iello, the late Danny Yello,

581
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 5: was there. That that was, you want to say, a

582
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 5: famous person. But throughout the night Sterling was there, and

583
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 5: Sterling was getting inebriated and more and walk outside to smoke,

584
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 5: and there was a New York Post reporter and who

585
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 5: knows what gibberish John was giving him because we had

586
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 5: that even Tyler performed. Not true. Robert de Niro is there?

587
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 5: Not true? All of that was not true. I just

588
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 5: wonder where they got. It was amazing. And then like

589
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 5: the New York Post called and asked if they could

590
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 5: have a picture from the wedding that they could run,

591
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 5: and we said okay, and the next day they ran it.

592
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 5: Right now. I don't know if you know my wife.

593
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 5: My wife is a really beautiful woman. I'm really lucky.

594
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 5: And they run a picture of us hurt him down,

595
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 5: me and the tucks, and the headline was Beauty and

596
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 5: the Beast. I mean, it's just unbelievable.

597
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 4: You know what, you should have just sent them a

598
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 4: headshot of Robert de Niro.

599
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was like Joel Sherman's a friend of mine.

600
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 5: The guy writes for the Post, and he got really angry.

601
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 5: That was the first he said, this guy gives you

602
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 5: a wedding picture and you essentially call him ugly. You

603
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 5: gotta take down that headline. They wouldn't take down the headline.

604
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 5: He was really really ticked off with them.

605
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 2: Were you tacked off?

606
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm no oil painting, but I don't know

607
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 5: if I'm a beat.

608
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 2: Wait, so with Sterling? Did you find Sterling later the

609
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 2: night at your wedding just talking to himself in a corn.

610
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 5: He was wondering he was so happy. Uh, he was

611
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 5: definitely feeling something. I'll tell you that.

612
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: Who was the most famous person at your wedding if

613
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: you don't mind me asking.

614
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 5: Let's see Tino Martinez there and Errold Strawberry and uh,

615
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 5: I love Joe Gio already, a lot of the Yankees,

616
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 5: Paul o'meeal Brian Williams was there, and you know who

617
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,680

626
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:57,040

634
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 2: I'd be interested because there's so many choices. I was

635
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: having this conversation with the French just the other day

636
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: because I'm Stercott's and this is these are the things

637
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 2: I talk about. If I were to ask, you give

638
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: me your all time Yankee rotation. Okay, for starters, we

639
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 2: know who the closure is going to be. You have

640
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 2: to go four storters. Who is Michael ka going with?

641
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 5: It's tough, is it? People I've seen or like? Can

642
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 5: I should I include Whitey Ford?

643
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: You can include Whitey Ford, whoever you want.

644
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 5: I would say Whitey Ford, Ron Gidrey, Andy Pettitt, And

645
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 5: then you know what, It'd be real to choose between

646
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 5: David Cohne and El Duque because they're both like big

647
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 5: game pitchers and they could win. Yes, but it would

648
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 5: be a combination of those five. I guess, just off

649
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 5: the top of my head, who would you pick?

650
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: Well, I would go I'd go David Cohne, a big

651
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: game pitcher. Ron Guidry was so I was at the

652
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: Twins game where Gidry what he struck out like sixteen

653
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 2: or seventeen. That day was eighteen eighteen, right, So I

654
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 2: love Ron Guidry, so he would be in there just because,

655
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 2: you know, just because I loved them growing up, Guidriy Cone.

656
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 2: I think David Wells my co in there for me,

657
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 2: like yeah, just big game stuff, El Duque certainly. And

658
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: then I think Andy Petty, you have to go, Andy Petty,

659
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 2: big game pitcher.

660
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,480

Speaker 2: big game pictures.
