Michael Kay

I hear you great. Yes, look at this.

I've heard every single one. I've heard every single one. And I love Nick. I love him as an actor. And I think a lot of it is performative. I just worry about his health, especially the one where he threw the bat. But, yeah, I love Nick Turturro.

Well, David, one thing that I don't like is that people are saying, well, they're going to be better without him. You can't lose Juan Soto and be better. Now, maybe the sum of the parts, Juan Soto is a transformative player. He's just one of the greatest hitters that we'll ever see. It's hard to lose him. That's why the Yankees went up to 760.

But that doesn't mean that they're not going to go to the World Series again. They have an easier path in the American League. I think the moves they've made so far have been great. Freed's excellent. Devin Williams is excellent. I think Clay Bellinger is a big fit. They need a first baseman.

A third baseman.

Oh, what did I say? Clay again? Yep. Why'd you do that to him? I liked his dad so much. Yeah, I'll just call him Bellinger.

I was like, what did I do?

You know what he mispronounced. It's not like I called him Clyde. I just got the wrong name. It's not a mispronunciation. Be better.

I feel a little uncomfortable, Dan. It sounds like a eulogy. It doesn't sound real.

I definitely want to have a funeral before I die because I want to see what people actually really have to say. And then I'll come back and get them.

David, you've made the classic error of thinking that you would have been invited, so I'm not sure that you would have responded. I wanted Dan there, but he made it clear months ago that he wouldn't go.

If it was close to where I was, I had to explain, no.

Me. If it was in New York, I'd go.

Well, I wouldn't cancel the Yankee game because that, I mean, Nick would respect that, but I would probably get out of the radio show to go to the wake. Get out of the radio.

I'm excellent. Excellent. I wrap a lot of the kids' gifts, although Jody does a lot of it, but I actually like to wrap gifts. I'm surprised at Greg. I really am.

Well, Nick is younger than me, but I'm like Nick. You know, there were four male voices in my house. My dad, Phil Rizzuto, Frank Messer, and Bill White. That was it.

What are you doing?

I am working less, but the Yankees, I mean, I have a long-term contract, Dan. Don't push me out.

And that's fair. But, Stu, you have one thing wrong. What's that? You said I'm going to middays. Now, the longest time afternoon drive with Mike and Chris was 1 to 7. So I'm just at the start of afternoon drive. I'm not at middays.

wow that was quite the question i don't think they've wrestled the sport from them and you know they they and revenue wise the yankees have the highest revenue of any team in baseball so i think they'll be fine i really do i mean you look in the american league they're the best team in the american league and i don't think that they're done whatsoever in terms of the moves that they're going to make so i think that they've rebounded nicely getting max freed was great a little bit of an overpay devin williams was outstanding and i think

A Cody Bellinger is going to do really, really well for them. I think they still have moves to make. So listen, all you have to do is beat the Dodgers in a best of seven.

And if the Yankees had not had Nestor Cortez pitch to Freddie Freeman in the first game, and if they hadn't given up those five earned runs in the fifth game, I think if the series returned to L.A., I think the Yankees would have had a chance to win.

I mean, I don't know. I was not going to watch that, but after that review, David, I might. I don't think I'll feel trapped because I will know it's fiction, but I loved it.
