Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

1.567 - 10.496 Laurence Holmes

Get jiggy with. Oh. Oh. Get jiggy with? It's like I did it all for the nookie?

0

10.516 - 14.32 Matt Spiegel

Well, this was a show that happened on the air at the score.

0

14.44 - 16.001 Laurence Holmes

I didn't even remember that. Is that right?

0

18.264 - 33.618 Matt Spiegel

Nobody's defined it for us yet. What does it mean, get jiggy with it, Lawrence? What does that mean? Get jiggy with it. What does that mean? We used to do a get jiggy with it. Oh, that's nice. That's brilliant. Was that a Hood special? No, that was a Riles special.

0

33.638 - 34.979 Mark Grote

Oh, man. Jerry Riles.

Chapter 2: What does 'get jiggy with it' mean in this context?

34.999 - 43.269 Mark Grote

I think Riles is the one that was like, you know what? The man is here. Let's do something. Shout out to Jerry Riles.

0

43.289 - 45.872 Leila Rahimi

And Dan Jiggets. How does one get Jiggets with it? In your recollection.

0

45.932 - 48.976 Mark Grote

You asked Dan Jiggets his opinion on things.

0

49.016 - 49.917 Matt Spiegel

No, no, no, no.

0

49.897 - 51.219 Mark Grote

And then you're getting jiggits with it.

52.321 - 74.52 Matt Spiegel

Hello, Matt Spiegel from New York. Hello to everybody. Let's thank our guests, Mike Florio, Jim Margulis, Chris Emma. Our producers today, Ray Diaz, Tyler Biederbaugh, Clint Klaus helped us out. Brandon Fryer does as well. Cody Westerlin, Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, and Max Curtis. Our transition is brought to you by Torque Coatings, high-performance coatings for your home or business.

74.5 - 81.518 Matt Spiegel

TorqueCoatings.com. I see Lawrence Holmes, but I hear Matt Spiegel. What's happening?

82.18 - 107.905 Leila Rahimi

Amen. It's all happening either here or there. Crazy, great, fun, weird sports night. Last night, and now it has another one tonight, going to the Knicks and the Spurs game four. I'm told the president is not going this time. I believe Mussolini is going, but that's okay. He's a big Knicks fan. He's a New York fan.

108.085 - 114.076 Laurence Holmes

Oh, a long time. Big time, long time. So you are in New York City right now. It's true.

Chapter 3: Who are the notable guests featured in this episode?

114.417 - 117.382 Matt Spiegel

Live from New York, it's Matt Spiegel.

0

117.402 - 123.433 Mark Grote

He's literally got cardboard cutouts of Boomer and Phil Simms in the background.

0

123.634 - 136.349 Leila Rahimi

Let me see this. Yeah, they're here. You know how backup studios at our place are also storage rooms? Yes. Same thing at WFAN here in New York City.

0

136.569 - 138.191 Laurence Holmes

It's an absolute disgrace.

0

139.032 - 142.735 Leila Rahimi

Should I just pretend that's actually Boomer and Phil Simms behind me?

142.956 - 145.398 Mark Grote

Yeah, ask them some questions. We got bear stuff.

147.761 - 149.783 Leila Rahimi

I will. Phil, what do you think?

150.623 - 156.292 Laurence Holmes

Hey, Phil, do you remember the playoff game against the Bears back in 1985?

156.392 - 158.456 Leila Rahimi

Oh, God, he doesn't want to think about that.

Chapter 4: What exciting news is shared about Braden Montgomery?

481.33 - 482.832 Matt Spiegel

He's my outlier right now.

0

483.533 - 483.713 Mark Grote

PCA.

0

483.773 - 492.042 Matt Spiegel

Yeah. But you know what I'm saying? Everybody's that predictable? I don't know. I wonder about approaches at times like these.

0

492.022 - 517.716 Leila Rahimi

It's a great question. I mean, I think we all remember when the 2016 core was eventually figured out by like 18, and the Dodgers were the first ones to get there down the stretch in 17, where you threw the high fastball and the breaking ball that tunnels off that same spot, and you got them. You got Schwarber and Bryant and Rizzo and Javi.

Chapter 5: How does Braden Montgomery's debut impact the White Sox?

517.736 - 521.421 Matt Spiegel

Briefly, you got Schwarber for a moment in time compared to his career.

0

521.401 - 538.33 Leila Rahimi

The numbers there, them in the postseason, that four-pack in the postseason, post-2016 as Cubs, was horrific. Just like unbelievably bad because you could attack all of them the same way and every team knew it. To your point, Layla, I'm not sure if that's what's happening. You think it is?

0

538.31 - 542.357 Matt Spiegel

When Nico Horner is not hitting like Nico Horner.

0

542.898 - 557.044 Leila Rahimi

He swung at the first pitch a couple times and hit the ball hard. I still think he wouldn't acknowledge it with us last week, Lawrence, but I think that dude is in between trying to show the slug and going back to the contact line.

0

557.024 - 565.115 Matt Spiegel

And that's how I feel. Like, do I need him to be different necessarily, or do I need him to be his best self, which is get on base because they need people on base.

565.135 - 578.233 Laurence Holmes

He was having success with the slug early in the season, and now he is, and I say this totally in air quotes, reverting more back to the Nico that we know who focuses more on contact, but somehow he's still stuck in between as we speak.

578.253 - 583.04 Leila Rahimi

He's not doing that, though. Look at the numbers. He's not making good contact in that way.

583.1 - 586.845 Laurence Holmes

Or at least that's in his head, maybe, to try to get back to that. So I don't know.

586.825 - 605.683 Matt Spiegel

The other thing is, and I think we were talking about this a little bit in our pre-show meeting today backstage, this is a very seam head, so if it's too undeveloped of a discussion, I get it. But you remember how launch angle was the thing. Like, that was the very unfashioned thing to discuss. Then you have guys like Carlos Pena who would say launch angle is a function of timing.

Chapter 6: What comparisons are made between Montgomery and other players?

929.18 - 933.205 Leila Rahimi

And then I thought he hit the ball pretty well last night at a couple of hits and a sacrifice fly. I,

0

933.185 - 935.809 Laurence Holmes

He has been hitting the ball harder lately.

0

936.33 - 944.863 Leila Rahimi

Don't you always feel better when you admit that you're broken? You know what I mean? When you admit that you're terrible and you're bad and this is bad. It can free you up.

0

944.943 - 955.98 Laurence Holmes

He needs to put a list together is what he needs to do. Sit down, pen and paper, and he needs a gratitude list too. That was your podcast.

0

956.001 - 957.883 Matt Spiegel

Let me put a list together with Mark Grady.

957.903 - 958.264 Mark Grote

Disappointing.

958.244 - 977.991 Matt Spiegel

appeared it's just gone we put some lists together and then life happened and things like that speaks i just can't take this conversation seriously with the car it's it's you perfectly framed yeah these are my partners not chris is talking to caleb

977.971 - 982.2 Leila Rahimi

That's right. Blonde ex-NFL quarterbacks. That's all I work with.

982.22 - 988.232 Matt Spiegel

Of the same era, too. I know Phil obviously was a CBS analyst. Was Boomer, too?
