1
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: All right, Taylor, we have a big announcement to make.

2
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about it. I know you're very excited

3
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: about it. I wanted you to be here because many

4
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: many months ago, you and I set out on a

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: journey together. It was just us. We were lonely. We

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: were in like Tahoe, we were sitting by a hole.

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: We were making fun of Joe Buck and and so

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: there were times. You know, we had the brand Star

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: studios early on, but we always knew we needed new studios,

10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: we needed media partners. And I am going to announce

11
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: something very big today that I'm very excited about. Taylor.

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: I am so excited. I'm more excited for you than

13
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: I am for me. How about that? Huh?

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: While I am excited, Stu, I hate to break it

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: to you. Well, Diana Rossini Scoopedia what.

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: She did.

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: Diana Rossini put out a post on social media congratulating

18
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: you on where you're heading to.

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: Scoop City, baby, Scoop City. She wasn't supposed to do that, Taylor.

20
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: She's good at her job.

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: She's my friend. In this particular situation, her job was

22
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: simply to be my friend. She sent it out on

23
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: social media she did.

24
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: So what I think happened is friendship doesn't pay.

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: The bills, right, Yes? Yes, clicks did right? Clicks? Yes,

26
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: she's learned well, I'm so proud of her Stewsini, So

27
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: you know the news now, huh? I do know the news.

28
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 2: And this has been something you had mentioned a while

29
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: ago when we were on this journey, that you had

30
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: a slew of announcements, and this has been one where

31
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: it was part of the slew, but it's months before,

32
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: so it's kind of like, I don't know if you

33
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: could still call it a slew of announcements if can you?

34
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: I feel well, I'm going to announce more than one thing.

35
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: You're asking me. Can I count this as part of

36
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: the slew I teased months ago on the show? Sure,

37
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, why not? Okay, but I do have a

38
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: slew today. I feel like although Diana has ruined most

39
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: of it. So but I love her. I love her dearly,

40
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: and she's just doing her job, not being my friend

41
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: getting clicks. I've taught her well. Uh, so we are.

42
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to confirm Diana's report. She sent out the

43
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: press release. I'm looking at it now. I mean, my god,

44
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: she's the greatest.

45
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: For people that didn't see Diana's post, do you want

46
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 2: to explain to them what her report was that you're confirming.

47
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I am confirming that we are starting after

54
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: build a fucking empire, is what I'm gonna do. We

55
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: have partner with iHeart, and so I am super excited

56
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: about that. We are partnering with the biggest and best

57
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: digital media company in the world, and I am very

58
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: very grateful to them, grateful to Fox Sports Radio for

59
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: allowing me to do something that quite frankly, I have

60
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: missed dearly in my life. And so I look forward

61
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: to filling the void that was left when I stopped

62
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: doing live radio because I miss taking phone calls. I

63
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: cannot wait to speak to Frank on a mobile phone.

64
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: So when I'm assuming when Diana puts out the report, yeah,

65
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: you get inundated with text messages.

66
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: Yes, were you Were you at all.

67
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: Confused why people were congratulating you.

68
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: Yes, Brady Quin in particular, Yes, that's Steve Levy Wow leaves.

69
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: So I'm confirming Diana's report and my own press release

70
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: that we are indeed teaming up with Fox Sports Radio

71
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,679
Speaker 1: three to five. Every single afternoon, we have Dan Patrick

72
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: and Colin Coward as lead INDs to our show. I'm

73
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: excited about that. And here's the best part for you, Tailor,

74
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: because I know doing it the way we've been doing

75
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: it drives you crazy. We have brand new plush studios

76
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: and I can't wait for that. I can't wait. Wow.

77
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: Well, when you mentioned Colin Coward, naturally, now that I

78
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: could just call Colin Coward a co worker, I could

79
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: start to confront him on I think he stole my

80
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoza. If you Chians get the number one pick, hey,

81
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: maybe Trey Jackson Dart draft Fernando Mendoza. And now that

82
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 2: Colin's a co worker, I could more. I'll probably have

83
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: easier access to him.

84
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: Listen, It's why I teased it the other day. Perhaps

85
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: we'll be able to do it again. When I told

86
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: you the story about how he cornered me at ESPN

87
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: with a cup of soup in his hand. Okay, and

88
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: started asking me m question. So DP Colin Cowhard into

89
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: Austin of course, LeVar Arrington, what is it? Two cups and.

90
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: A two pros and a cup of Joe, Two pros

91
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: and a cup of Joe, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn.

92
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: That's the kind of expertise and professionalism Fox Sports Radio

93
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: just partnered with. So we're excited. We have new studios.

94
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: We'll do the show live. This is going to be

95
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: an extension the live show of what we already do

96
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: with Stugatson Company. We will do some stuff on the

97
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: front end of the live radio show and distribute the

98
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: live radio show as part of what we do along

99
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio, FanDuel. I should not leave them out at

100
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio.

101
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: And just to get to this point, thank you to

102
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: the listeners, the people that watch the videos, because one

103
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 2: of their biggest complaints had been, hey, love the show,

104
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 2: you guys, gotta get a studio, Gotta get a studio.

105
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: And I know you're not looking at any of the

106
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 2: feedback or the comments, so I am just getting inundated

107
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 2: every day with hey, get a studio, get a studio,

108
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: and I'm like, hey, guys, studios coming. They're like Stu

109
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: Gott says, the studio's coming, but is a studio actually coming?

110
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: It's coming. We came out hot with the brand star

111
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: studios and then came back to my dining room, which

112
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: is probably, you know, when you think about it, probably

113
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: not the way we should have done it, because the

114
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: expectation was said, because those are the nicest fucking studios

115
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. And so thank you to those guys

116
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: for helping us out when I needed help. Thank you

117
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: to you Taylor, to the audience as well, to Izzy,

118
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: to mikey A, to Diana Russini, to Bomani Jones, Mark Hoffman.

119
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: I'm leaving some names out, but there are a million

120
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: people who are here by my side during what has

121
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: been a tricky time for me professionally, which leads me

122
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: to my current show, the show with Dan, my future

123
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: with Dan, because naturally people on the heels of this

124
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: are going to have questions, rightfully so concerns over what

125
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: this means for me and Dan and the show that

126
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: we have done for twenty years. And so all I

127
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: can tell you on that end, Okay, is the people

128
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: that I have partnered with. iHeart Fox Sports, FanDuel have

129
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: all been incredibly flexible and understanding of a twenty year

130
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: relationship between me and Dan. They know how much that

131
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: relationship means to me, They know how much that show

132
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: means to me, they know how much that audience means

133
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: to me, and they have all given me permission to

134
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: continue doing work with Dan and for metal Ark as

135
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: I see fit. And so I'm excited about that, and

136
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for that opportunity because, especially in these crazy

137
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: media times, to have three partners who are like, hey,

138
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: come over here and do this, and we're okay if

139
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: you still want to do the thing that you've been

140
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: doing for twenty years. And so to give our audience,

141
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm super proud of what we've built, but to give

142
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: our audience a reason to kind of relax, take a

143
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: deep breath. This is not the end. Dan and Metal

144
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: Lark had been nice enough to offer me nine dates

145
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: in January to come in and do the show. Nine

146
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: of them. I don't have to accept them all, but

147
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: I did accept them all. I'm going to be exhausted, Taylor,

148
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: but I did accept all nine of the dates that

149
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: were put in front of me by Dan and metal

150
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: Lark Media, and I agree to all nine of the dates, okay,

151
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: with just one condition. And amazingly, that condition does not

152
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: involve me asking for more money. It does not. So

153
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: my hope is I hope you're excited for the new venture.

154
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: I hope you're excited that I'll continue to do some

155
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: shows with Dan and I do some stuff with metal Ark.

156
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: But I will just tell you this, for whatever reason

157
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: after the New Year, you don't hear me nine times

158
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: in January on the show with Dan, that is a

159
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: decision that was not made by me. There is one condition,

160
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: and that decision is not a decision that will be

161
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: made by me. That decision will be made by Dan

162
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: and Metalarc. So if you don't hear me on the shows,

163
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: just know this, that is not a decision I made.

164
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: That's a decision they made.

165
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: So when you say you're starting the Studotts podcast network, yeah,

166
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: what are the chances I could get my own show

167
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: talking New York Sports Radio.

168
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: You're supposed to produce my show. I mean, I've trusted

169
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: you to take care of me, and now you're already

170
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: off trying to do your own show. You could do

171
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: that show. You could do it with sal but you're

172
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: look at his face, but you're already trying to like

173
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: carve out your own show, a New York sports radio

174
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: show where you're taking phone calls. That's what you're trying

175
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: to do. You're supposed to be my executive producer, Taylor.

176
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: Listen, I'm juggling, was learning from the best.

177
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: I am so fucking proud of you. Yes is the answer,
