1
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites, the podcast from the Volume Podcast Network.

2
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: It's Thursday. That means it's time to enter the Thursday Thunderdome.

3
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: On today's show, our special guests will compete alongside my

4
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: co host Might b f F my companion professional sports

5
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: better Simon Hunter, who was out with a lot of

6
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: us on Tuesday night and survived. He is in an

7
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: epic test of wagers and wits that's quickly made at

8
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: this show the best invention for summertime gamblers since the

9
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: Nathan's Hot Dog eating Contest. Oh, Simon, we gave each

10
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: other a really big hug on Tuesday night. I would say,

11
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: I got to this bar around seven. I think you

12
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: got there at eight. I had a date before and

13
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: so I wasn't really feeling it. And then you came

14
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: into the bar and you gave me a hug and

15
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: you wouldn't let go, and I go, Wow, Chad must

16
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: be feeling pretty pretty good right now. So I had

17
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: I had a couple of drinks with Stucky, heard a

18
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: lot of stories from Stucky, didn't get fired. I got

19
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: out of there. I knew when to leave, so I

20
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: got just to the point of drunkness where I was like,

21
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: I made some joke and it might have been a

22
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: man or maybe with Christina gave me this look and

23
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: I was just like, Okay, it's it's toime for me

24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: to get out of here. So it was a It

25
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: was a good night, man. It was fun to be

26
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: in New York City. You've learned so much about being

27
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: a good corporate citizen since you joined the Action Network

28
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: full time. We're all really proud of you. Simon. I

29
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: should mention I'm still in New York. I'm recording this

30
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: podcast from my hotel room in New York. So if

31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: I sound somewhat different, that is why. Simon, your first challenger,

32
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: is an ESPN analyst co host of the Pull Up

33
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: podcast with c J. McCullum. Recently appeared on our game

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: show What's the Line where he destroyed Damn Ravel. It's

35
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: NBA Analyst Extraordinaire Jordan Schultz. What's going on, many fellas,

36
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. That was a fun night with Darren.

37
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was embarrassed. He's definitely destroyed,

38
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: though it was fun. It's impossible to embarrass revalve. You

39
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: can mention or ask him to do something that no

40
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: one else in the world would consider, and he'd be like,

41
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is terrible. I gotta do it.

42
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: So I got that zero zero humility. Thanks for having me.

43
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,559
Speaker 1: We're glad you're here. Jordan's uh the other competitor today.

44
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: Way back in two thousands eighteen, on this very program,

45
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: I refer to this editor as the straw that stirs

46
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: the Action Network. I still believe it all these years later.

47
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: He's an avid darts better, one of Long Island's very finest,

48
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: a man whose love for the Advancing Islanders is only

49
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: surpassed by his love for misery. It's Michael lee Off.

50
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: I want you to say a lot of people, but

51
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: I want people to know that you spent the night

52
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: at the Colisseum and I spent the night I mean

53
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: maybe from before the game started until just this very

54
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: second leaveoff. How are you. I'm wonderful, I'm doing great.

55
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how we're going to get through this

56
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: podcast with Leaboff sounding like he had to scrape his

57
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: voice off the ice. If you spent your night screaming

58
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: horrible things at Bruin's head coach Bruce Cassidy last night,

59
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: you would be you would sound the same, and I

60
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: offered you that opportunity like fifteen times to come to

61
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: the Cosum and you're you're afraid to go. It's not

62
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: an invite unless you say, here's my ticket, here's the time,

63
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: meet me at this place. That's that's how I live

64
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: in the invite world. You're like a thirty year sports

65
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: media executive. You can get your own ticket and we'll

66
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: just go before we'll meet up before the game. Right,

67
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: what is the meanest thing you said to Bruce Cassidy

68
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: last night? Oh my god, I don't want to say it.

69
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: You know, we just talked about being a good court

70
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: for citizens. That's true. Well, clearly because the Islanders are advancing,

71
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: we we got to scream it and coming off the

72
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: ice because obviously they do the handshakes at the end

73
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: of every series, and you know, the Colsium, you're just

74
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: like right on top of everybody and the whole amina

75
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: stuck around for that and he's walking off basically by himself.

76
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: All the players have basically shuffled in and he's just

77
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: he was just hearing it. It was he was an idiot,

78
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: Like why would you why would you poke? Poke? Twelve

79
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 1: thousand long Islanders hopped up on tall boys of natty

80
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: light like what what an idiot? So there's nothing he

81
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,119
Speaker 1: got what was coming. Here's how the game is played today.

82
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: You'll answer two kinds of questions. First, traditional trivia questions

83
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: about sports, sports, betting, and the world at large. Second,

84
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: completely subjective and totally assinine, open and did questions or

85
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: prompts that I alone will judge. I will probably root

86
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: for Signa. To accumulate points, you must answer the trivia

87
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: questions correctly, and also convince me that your response to

88
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: those open ended prompts are better than the resp bonces

89
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: from your opponents. Let's play the game, folks. Part one.

90
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: The pen is mightier. Last week, former quarterback Johnny Manziel

91
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: revealed he pocketed over thirty thou dollars selling autographs in college.

92
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: The demand for celebrity autographs dates back nearly as far

93
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: as the pen itself. So I'll ask each of you

94
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: an autograph themed question. Sign Him. One of the rarest

95
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: athlete autographs of all time is from this baseball player,

96
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: who grew up illiterate following a childhood of labor in

97
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: South Carolina textile mills. As an adult, his wife signed

98
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: most things on his behalf. So fewer than two dozen

99
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: authentic autographs are known to exist. This is a crazy story.

100
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: I don't even know this today. He's perhaps most famous

101
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: for his permanent band for baseball following his alleged but

102
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: never confirmed involvement in the black Socks scandal despite stellar

103
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: play throughout that crook in World Series? Who is the

104
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: player we are referring to? I have no idea, but

105
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: I want to update your thing about athletes signatures. The

106
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: oldest signature is actually gladiators. People in the room used

107
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: to get signatures from gladiators, So just a quick update.

108
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: They've been around for about I think two thousand years

109
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: now signatures for athletes, so it's pretty insane. Well that

110
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: is fantastic, But again I don't think you answer to

111
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: the question Joe DiMaggio so close shoe was Joe Jackson.

112
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: They got the first name, right, Uh, leaveoff. The autographs

113
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: of American presidents have been popular for centuries. The two

114
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: rarest presidential autographs belonged to William Henry Harrison, who died

115
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: of pneumonia thirty days after his inauguration, and this president

116
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 1: who shot four months into his presidency and died two

117
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: months later, the idealistic James Garfield. Wow, that is incredible

118
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: that you got that right in your condition to get

119
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: that right and coming coming with an adjective, by the way,

120
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: makes total sense that James Garfield would be your favorite president.

121
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: In the late FBI executed a successful sting on a

122
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: counterfeit sports memorabilia ring in Chicago in an effort code

123
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: named Operation foul Ball. The success of Operation foul Ball

124
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: led the FBI to execute a subsequent nationwide undercover operation

125
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: that sees millions of dollars worth of phony autographed merchandise,

126
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: including a baseball featuring a fake autograph from mother to rasta.

127
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: Based on its origins and Operation foul Ball, the FBI

128
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: operation was given this code name after the most famous

129
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: warm up area in sports. So this was operation that

130
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: is correct, batter box. That was tough. Uh, Simon, you

131
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: would have been wrong in everything. You're getting killed the

132
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: rest I'm drunk chat. You might still be drunk from Tuesday.

133
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: Here's the prompt. This is Simon, where you normally make

134
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: up your time. If you could acquire any piece of

135
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: memorabilia and make any living athletes sign it, what would

136
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: you choose and who would sign it. For example, I'd

137
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: like to own the card Roger Goodell read from to

138
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: announce the second pick in the two thousand seventeen NFL Draft,

139
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: signed by Mitchell Drubisky. Simon, please give me your answer.

140
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: I mean so many ways to go um, but as

141
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: in I guess as a filed off your sports fan,

142
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: my happiest experience of my life was the Eagle Super Bowl.

143
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: So I thought of something kind of messed up, but

144
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: it pulls all together. I would get the cast from

145
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is a c L tear, and I'd have

146
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: Nick Foles sign it. Oh my god, that is such

147
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: a good idea. It's serendipity. It's just like all these

148
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: things happened because of that injury. So it's it's one

149
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: of those I feel like it's two things that would

150
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: mean a lot to me is Nick Fole's signature and

151
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: that Carson Wentz injury. I so love that answer. Leadoff.

152
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough to top that answer. Yeah, that's

153
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: a good one. But I know you guys know my

154
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: love for the Islanders, and so this is niche, niche

155
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 1: for for probably most of the listeners. But when when

156
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: John Tavares left the Islanders, he took a picture and

157
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: posted it on Twitter of him in his pajamas. He

158
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: didn't say anything about like, oh, I had a great

159
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: time on Long Island. Yet the first thing he did

160
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: was just just tweeted a picture of himself in his

161
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: maple leaves bedsheets and pajamas and said, like, it's not

162
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: every day you don't you get to live out a

163
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: childhood dream. Since then, John Tavares is one exactly zero

164
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: playoff series and the Islanders are going to the Conference

165
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: finals for the second year or else. So I would

166
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: like to get that that picture and its original frame,

167
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: and I would love to get it signed by all

168
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,479
Speaker 1: the New York Islanders and then mail it to him. Wow.

169
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: That wraps up fandom and bitterness and is the greatest

170
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: Leeboff answer. I love the directions are going. There so

171
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: much rage in this fandom Jordan's are you full of

172
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: rage today? Not quite? But in so mine Mine is

173
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: also a little niche growing up in Seattle and I

174
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: was a massive Mariner fan and Ken Griffy Jr. Was God.

175
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: I was at the game when he broke his wrist

176
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: against the Rangers. You know, he had that famous spider

177
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: man catch against center field wall. I was at that game,

178
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: and I want to say that happened in the seventh

179
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: inning and the fourth inning he caught the third out

180
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: and tossed me a ball. And when he broke his

181
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: wrist the next day of the Seattle Times, I was

182
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: a really young kid. There's like a picture of me

183
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: in the background like hysterical, like I'm crying or I'm

184
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: really scared, and you know, Ken Griffy's hobbling off the field.

185
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: So what I would want being at that game is

186
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: for him to sign that glove that he broke the

187
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: wrist in because that was probably to me, it's the

188
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: greatest catch I've ever seen, at least in person. In Seattle,

189
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: he was everything he really he was. Obviously, you guys

190
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: remember the video game. So I was gonna say, n

191
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: sixty four that was the game change. Yeah, you can

192
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: imagine in Seattle we played well, originally it was for Superintendo.

193
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: Right in sixty four took it to an r level.

194
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: We used to play that game for hours in the

195
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: in the in the caveat was nobody was allowed to

196
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: be the Mariners, Yeah, because they had the griff he

197
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: had like his swing zone was like this big. So anyways,

198
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: I missed, uh, I missed those days. Well, listen, that's

199
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: a really sad story. It's even Saturday. Because you're not

200
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: gonna win leadoff. I have to give it to you

201
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: because ay, you can barely speak b because I know

202
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: your hatred for John Tava's ghosts run so deep. We've

203
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: talked about it for years, and the fact that you

204
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: can tie it to the Islanders moving on in the playoffs.

205
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: Last night, I feel like you win that round. So congratulations.

206
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: We will move on to Part two. Uh. Part two

207
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: ejectionable material is major League Baseball's All Star Game approaches

208
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: next month. We'd like to take a moment to appreciate

209
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: one of the most beautiful spectacles in American sports, the

210
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: objection of a baseball manager. As here comes to my

211
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: eye whenever I see a pristine baseball diamond and I

212
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: see an old man wearing a full baseball uniform screaming

213
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: himself horse at another man wearing a blazer. In honor

214
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: of this time honored tradition of workplace rage, I'll ask

215
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: each of you one question about baseball manager objections. Jordan,

216
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: this will be rid of your alley a long time

217
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: Jordan's longtime manager, Lou Pinella, is on the Mount Rushmore

218
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: of objections. One of his signature episodes came in when

219
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: he became so enraged during a shouting match with an

220
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: umpire that he threw this object a full thirty five ft.

221
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,599
Speaker 1: The distance was so impressive that a newspaper held a

222
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: fan contest to see if anyone could match his distance.

223
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: What did he throw? A base? It was first base.

224
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna you full credit

225
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: because he took it. He took it off. He did

226
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: take it off exactly, uh Simon. Arguably the most unique

227
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: and celebrated ejection in major league history came exactly twenty

228
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: two years ago yesterday, when this National League manager was

229
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: ejected in extra innings, only to return to the dugout

230
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: a short time later wearing glasses and a fake mustache.

231
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,479
Speaker 1: The sky is, in my opinion, one of the creepiest

232
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: people to ever grace the sported baseball is a Bobby Valentino.

233
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: Wherever his name is Bobby v. Bobby Valentine, you win

234
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: for calling him creepy. Your spot on and you know

235
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: who he is clearly leadoff the record for most of

236
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: Jacksons belongs to this longtime Braves manager who was tossed

237
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: out of a hundred and sixty one games, one game

238
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: shy of a full major league season. I know the answer.

239
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: I think it's Bobby Cox. And speaking of Bobby Valentine,

240
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: he's the athletic director at my alma mater now and

241
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: I sat out a panel with him once and I

242
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: got to disagree. I went with that. In my head.

243
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: I was like, this guy is a weirdo. I don't

244
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: really like him, and he's sitting next to me and

245
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: he couldn't have been more of a sweetheart, um simon.

246
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: So that's how it gets that. That's how it gets

247
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: you in. Maybe he was playing the long game, but

248
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: I didn't join my time with him. All right, Part

249
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,479
Speaker 1: two prompt Here we go. Imagine you are a furious

250
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: major league baseball manager. You were about to be ejected

251
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: for arguing with an umpire. If your goal was to

252
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: create the most memorable on field ejection of all time,

253
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: what would you do? We bought, what would you do?

254
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: I'd probably mooned the umpire, you moon the empire. You've

255
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: done so well in this game so far, and that

256
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: is a terrible answer. So I went back to Lloyd McClendon.

257
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: He had a great one back with the Pirates. I'd

258
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: like to mirror that. Basically, I want to take a

259
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: step further. I want to take panelas step further. I

260
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: want to take off first base. But now I don't

261
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: want to throw it. I want to run around the

262
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: stadium with it and then throw it into the stands.

263
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: I gotta say, that's funny, and I can see I

264
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: thought you're gonna say, I want to run around the

265
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: basis with it, and when you get well, maybe I'll

266
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: do that around on the basis and then I'll run

267
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: an outfield and throw it into the stands. So the

268
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: game is screwed up. I think that's a great answer

269
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: making a comeback here definitely better than leadoff on this one, Simon,

270
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: let's see what you got again. This is fictional. Uh.

271
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: It made me think of the office and Andy. He

272
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: was trying to quit his job and get fired. He

273
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: could not get fired, and he couldn't. He just couldn't leave,

274
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: so he took a dump on his boss's car. And

275
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: that's what I would go. I would just go right

276
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: out to the home plate and I would just drop

277
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: try and take a dump in the middle of the field.

278
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: That's terrible, exactly. It's disgusting to even visualize that. At

279
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: least with Jordan's he's having a little bit of fun,

280
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: he's getting the fans involved. He's going for broke like

281
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: he knows, he knows he's going to be thrown out.

282
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: He's just deciding basically to do a victory lap because

283
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: he's doing it on behalf of the team, Like this

284
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: is Jordan's no brain er. Simon, I'm talking us a

285
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: memorable ejection of all time. Chat, I'm taking a dump

286
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: in the on the field of baseball. Bro You're just

287
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: too classy. You're you're too classy. I'm tempted to take

288
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: away a point because I hate that answer so much.

289
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: But here we go. Here's the score right now. Leave Off,

290
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: you have three because of your James Garfield fandom. Jordan's

291
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: you have three because of your genius for how you

292
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: would get ejected from the game. Simon, you have one,

293
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: and I'm not even that sad about it, because now

294
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: I'm just disgusted. Part three. Let's travel back in time.

295
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: Last week, Lebron James and the l A Lakers were

296
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: bounced from the NBA Playoffs in the first round, and

297
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: many are considering this to be his most disappointing finish

298
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: since he was twenty one years old and his Cavalier's

299
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: team missed the two thousand five class. Even back in

300
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: two thousand five, I was already successful and accomplished member

301
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: of the sports media elite. Our guest Jordan Schultz would

302
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: to be on his way to Accidental College, and I

303
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: assume our own Simon Hunter was just your typical perverted

304
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: fifteen year old who thought about taking dumps in center field.

305
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: But in honor of Lebron's dubious distinction, I will now

306
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: ask you each one pop culture question and one sports

307
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: question about two thousand five. Oh, this is good Jordan's

308
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: In the spring of two thousand five, following an n

309
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: c a A title at Yukon and a great rookie

310
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: season for the Charlotte Bobcats, this player one NBA rtographer boom,

311
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: Very nicely done. Remember Toy Howard went one, and there

312
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: is there was some thought that a Mecca should have

313
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: gone one. Remember that, I remember that well. In a

314
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: few thousand five, this finish Telecom company was the leading

315
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: manufacturer of cell phones. They also sponsored college football's Sugar

316
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: Bowl from nine Nice Jordan's a game Leaboff back. In

317
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: two thousand five, Nikes sold more than fifty million units

318
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: of this ubiquitous yellow fashion accessory. A few years later,

319
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: this inspirational figure behind this suffered a humiliating fall from

320
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: grace and was stripped of all his primary athlete accomplishments livestrong, bracelet.

321
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: Well done, Mike Leeboff, here's your second question. In two

322
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: thousand five, Lebron couldn't tweet about how missing the playoffs felt.

323
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: Twitter wasn't invented until the following year, and even if

324
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: he'd wanted to, this exciting new social media platform was

325
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: also unavailable because he didn't have a college email address Facebook. Wow.

326
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 1: Our contestants today, except for Simon, are really good. Simon.

327
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: For the two thousand five NFL season, this imposing a

328
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: f C North quarterback one Rookie of the Year, Big

329
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: Ben Ben You got it, buddy, Here we go. I

330
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: know you love rap and hip hop, Simon. In the

331
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: spring of two thousand five, Candy Shop was the number

332
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: one song in America, a track performed by this famous

333
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: rapper Bitty sent Cent. There you go, Everybody good round

334
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: for everybody. Very impressive, Matt Mitchell, I think you found

335
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: the wheelhouse for the majority of our contestants. Part three.

336
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: Here's the prompt. Imagine traveling back in time to two

337
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: thou five. You find your two thousand five self and

338
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: you tell him the single craziest thing about the world

339
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: of sports in a k a. The distant future. What

340
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: is your message from the future. So at that point

341
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: in my life, the Islanders, I've never seen the Islanders

342
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: win a playoff series. And my friend and I Eric,

343
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: who who's gone through all the same lowses as I have.

344
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: We were actually having this conversation last night. I'm the

345
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: Colosseum concrete right outside the Colosseum, and and we both

346
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: said that if we did exactly this exercise or fifteen

347
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: year old selves would just beat the ever living ship

348
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: out of our now selves because they just wouldn't believe it,

349
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: and they'd be mad that they had to wait this

350
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,239
Speaker 1: long for for happiness anyways, so that would probably be right,

351
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: Like I'd be like you, you just eliminated the Buston

352
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: Bruins and the series that nobody thought you had a chance,

353
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: and he did in six games, and you made a

354
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: villain out of out of a head coach, So I

355
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: think that would probably be it. Yeah, it's very weird

356
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: that that is the question, because I literally had this

357
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: exercise last night with a friend while we were weeping.

358
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: If you hadn't added while we were weeping, I'd probably

359
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: think that feels small. Jordan's your next Well, I think

360
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: it's fitting that this is my answer. I would say,

361
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: fast forward to and you'd be able to uh wold,

362
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: why bet hit arena? I think I would say, you know,

363
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: sports gambling is it's not just a part of of

364
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 1: the Fabrica society now, it's it's celebrated and we had

365
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: the actions that work as a big reason why. That

366
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: is an amazing answer. I didn't even consider that as

367
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: being something that I would say to someone from two

368
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: thousand five. I like it. I like it a lot.

369
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: Simon where you got Jordan, you don't know the right people. Man.

370
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: Back in the Beeper's day, you can still have been

371
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: any sports arena you want it though. Back in the day,

372
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: um I must have been Yeah, you're a good kid. Probably.

373
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: I feel like it'd be so weird going back and

374
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: just talking to yourself and being like Tom Brady when

375
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: he's in his forties, is going to leave the FC

376
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: and go to the NFC and have just as many

377
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl rings is every other quarterback in the last

378
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: fifteen years in the NFC. Like the man literally in

379
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: his forties is still the best quarterbacks. So I feel

380
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: like if someone came to you an oh five and

381
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: told you that, you just couldn't wrap your head around

382
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: it because we've just never seen anything like it before.

383
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: So I do think it would be definitely be the

384
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I say, you're totally right. I was gonna

385
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: go with Jordan's because it is is amazing to think,

386
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 1: you know, sixteen years after two thousand five, where betting

387
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: was such a third rail for so many people. Um,

388
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: you're you're able to say, oh yeah, now you can

389
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: go bet in arenas. But but Tom Brady defying age

390
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: and winning Super Bowls into the decade of the twenties

391
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: after winning his first early in the two thousand's is ridiculous.

392
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: That is something that is that is unparalleled. And nobody

393
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: would have believed to that point either about Drew Brees

394
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: because remember he had it, yeah, all their surgery. Yeah,

395
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: nobody would believe that he's you would have said, you

396
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: know five, Drew Brees is gonna become one of the

397
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: best five quarterbacks of all time. I don't think that's

398
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: very good. All right, we are going into part four.

399
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: Jordan's kind of played himself out of a point in

400
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: the final question for part three. Right now, the current

401
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: score leave off? You have five, Jordan, you have five, Simon,

402
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: you have four. Good comeback in the latter half of

403
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: the game. Here is the topic for the grand finale,

404
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: the breakout Star of two thousand five. First, before I

405
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: read the question, you all need to indicate how much

406
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: you would like to risk. Close your eyes, hold up

407
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: your fingers with your wager amount. All right, here we go.

408
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: In two thousand five, a new recording artist burst onto

409
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: the scene and has since gone on to a decorated

410
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: and successful career, including seven Grammy wins. She's also enjoyed

411
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: considerable involvement in the world of sports. She dated Tony Romo,

412
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: married an Ottawa Senators hockey player, and she performs the

413
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: opening theme for the highest rated prime time show ten

414
00:23:45,000 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: years running. Please name this recording artists? All right, Jordan's

415
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: please tell me how much you risk? And the answer

416
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: risk five damn all right, Jordan's got ten leave off.

417
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: Tell me how much you risk? Give me your answer.

418
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: I risk five, And I said, Carrie Underwood, Oh my goodness,

419
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: we are guaranteed a playoffs. Simon, tell me how much

420
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: you risk in your answer? I risk it all, but

421
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: I had less points to them. I said, carry Underwood

422
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: as well. Oh my god, now you're out. But listen,

423
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: this was our most competitive game yet. Everybody played strong.

424
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: So now we have to go to our playoff sudden death.

425
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: Are you guys ready? Yeah, let's do it all right.

426
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: Here we go. Home court for the Philadelphia seventies Sis

427
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: is the Wells Fargo Center. Home ice for the New

428
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: Jersey Devils is the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

429
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: According to goal Maps, if you were to travel on

430
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: foot from one to the other, how many hours would

431
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: it take you. Jordan's on on foot from the Prudential

432
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: Center in Newark to the Wells Fargo Sernilly. I guess

433
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: eight hours, eighteen hours. Mike Lee, I was doing. I

434
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: was seeing if I could do the math in my head,

435
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: knowing having having done the drive from Jersey to Philly

436
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: many many times, thinking how many miles, how was a

437
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: mile blah blah blah blah blah. What do you got?

438
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: I'd say two hours and I think it's gonna Matt Mitchell,

439
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: the correct answer is twenty eight hours. I knew it,

440
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: shit man. As soon as I said that, I was like,

441
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: if not. Also, you got in front of a juggernaut.

442
00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is nobody, everybody. There's

443
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: nothing that can stop Leeboff right now. This is when

444
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: you start betting on the Islanders with the Stanley Cup.

445
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: Because he is on such a role. I cannot, I

446
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: cannot think that things are not going to go his way.

447
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: That's what I believe. For Jordan, you played outstanding. Siman,

448
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: you did pretty well too. Congratulations to Mike Leboff for

449
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: his winning ways, fighting through a strained voice after single

450
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: handedly carrying the New York Islanders to win, right Simon Gladiator.
