Speaker 3 (01:14):
Jason question.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Nicely dot a little personal springle mixed therein Paul Bear
for those that remember, Uh yeah, I'm raise my cup
to him. Do you think John Palm Morosi could beat
that guy from Oakland around the bases?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Oh, we'll ask him that. I don't think he can.
JP is forty now and that kid's gotta be sixteen.
JP would be in dress shoes or loafers and dress.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
I mean that guy had some pretty big strides, like
that was the bigger thing. Like these were not Babe
Ruth little little steps.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, that's not that. That's
not gonna happen. I don't think he can. That would
be tough. All about.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
What I'd like to do is like do one of
those side by side things and like meet like one
of us, run as fast as we can around the
base and see if we beat the kid, Like that'd
be good.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And you say, go, but that's a dude.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I'd be exhausted by the time he got to the
left field line because it was so long from the
stands all the way to the left field line.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I'm ready, let's go.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Jeez, we still need to have that race in the
parking lot because you tried to disparage my good name
a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah, listen, how about instead I buy fat salas on Thursday.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I think we can do that. Yeah, okay, there he goes.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I think that won't help my forty time, but I
think that'll be funny.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
How do we solve problems? We buy food? All right, Great,
that's solved all the way.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Well, I mean, look, that's one of the things I'm
working through, the psychology of eating. When do I eat
when I'm sad, when I'm stressed?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
When do I need I'm hungry? I eat when I'm awake?
Is the other thing?
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Right?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
How much sun did you get? We relating to my sunburn,
all of it. So we move on. Look, if you say,
I guarantee you this. There's twenty four hours in a day.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
If you said to me, Jason, and you asked me
one of these two questions at any part of the day,
I would say yes to one of them every single
time you asked me. If you said to me, could
you A go for something to eat? Or B could
you go for a nap? I would say yes to
one of those two questions every single time you asked me.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Sometimes he's just gonna be Oh, I go for something
to eat. Yes, I need something. Sometimes no, no, no,
I can go for a nap.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Sometimes it be I could go for something to eat
and then a nap, or sometimes be I could go
for a nap and then wake up and have something
to eat. Like it would be yes to one of
those questions every single time you ask me.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yeah, no, that's that's about the right thing for for folks,
our agent and Mike.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
You know what a hawser is?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I believe that is a translation for a pig?
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Is it not eat something?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Okay? Hang on? Haza hasa What is a haza?
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
It's a small field or a plot of arable land.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Oh a hawser, you dummy?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Oh aha, a hawser? Hang on?
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Uh, I've never seen scarface?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Now a hawser?
Speaker 6 (04:08):
You know what a hase is?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Frank the hasa Uh?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Okay, you could have just said that that's a really
that was really well done too.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
That was good. I'm trying to a good impression there,
prosper all right, all right, can you do Berman? I
don't think so altho. That is the if you do,
If you do a hawser scarface, the first he comes up.
Is you know what a has is? Frank, Yeah, it's
right there. And I have the scene with Robert Loja
(04:37):
and everything, Robert Robert, oh for oh my god, it's right.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
I swear it wasn't me.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
You want a big, bold prediction, I'll give you one
right now. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
If I ever left radio or being a broadcaster, I
know exactly what I would do for a living, and
I wouldn't think twice about it. After the news today,
I would be an NBA mascot one hundred percent. I
was blown away by the Sports Illustrated story today on
how much team mascots get in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I couldn't believe this was right. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
The all thirty NBA teams Sports Illustrated Sports Business Journey.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Revealed you can make a ton of money. Okay. The
number one earning mascot is Rocky, who's a mountain lion,
all right.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
The mascot the dude makes six hundred and twenty five
thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
He's a hell of an athlete, six hundred and twenty
five grand.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
The next highest is the Hawk's mascot, Harry the Hawk, right,
he gets six hundred grand a year.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Who was ahead of.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
The third place mascot, which is Benny the Bull sticky tape.
Benny the Bull makes four hundred thousand dollars annually.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I mean, there's a nice picture of Benny the Bull
hanging out with Chrissy Tigan and John Legend on the
list I'm looking at.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Did you forget about this sticky tape?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I mean real, I like to think I know a
lot of stuff about what's going on at all times
in sports. But if you said to me, what do
the sports mascots make? What does sports mascots make? I
would say I would say I would guess the big
ones that you know, they make a couple grand a game,
(06:20):
and then they make individual money.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
For appearances they do, and that's how they I would
have thought we'd maybe gotten to one hundred grand.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Like I would have thought, yeah, like I'd have thought,
maybe you know, forty your twenty two grand a game,
and you know you're talking about forty one games and
then whatever you have in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Obviously you can't count the playoffs. So I mean that's
just structured separately, right, Hey, above and beyond sure.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Two grand a game, and then when you appear as
the mascot, you have to give a certain amount of
money to the team, or the team just pays you
a certain amount of money to make an appearance. Hey,
Benny the Bull, we're going to visit the school today,
or you know, Harry the Hawk, we're going to visit here.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Okay, great, you're gonna get this.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And I would have thought that it would really you
would really be hustled to make low six figures.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
These dudes are on easy Street man six hundred grand
a year.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, you got to marry your body. You gotta be
able to stay in shape.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I mean, you were talking about how how hard it
was gonna be for you to run from left field.
That means you can't do what they're doing in Denver.
The gorilla is only making two hundred grand. I mean
he gets kind of uh. He's also got to sign
a bunch of insurance waivers to do some of the
crap he does.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
No, but here's what I would do is you're never
supposed to see the mascot without his head off. So
I would go like, okay, great, yet ready to get
I'm gonna go in the room to and I would
I would cut a deal with somebody who was about
as tall as me, built like me, but was a
lot younger and can run and do stuff. Because the
mascots don't really talk either, they would go out and
do it. I would split the money with them, and
I wouldn't even have to mascot. I would just I
would just sit around, and I would just sit and
(07:49):
watch a game in the dressing room and had games
all with the mascot comes in at the end, I
put the mascot thing back on. Boom, dude, here's your
grand awesome great go and I make the rest of
I feel pretty good about it.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I wouldn't even have.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
To mascot, but I would suck it up and get
in shape and get in mascot shape to for six
hundred grand a year to work forty nights, to work
forty nights, and to have fun and get to interact
with kids and and with big fans and stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Oh my god, it would be awesome. Six hundred grand, man,
I was, I will.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
And you got a lot of downtime too, right, It's
you know, you got a lot of downtime in the
off season. So I mean, if you're in shape, you
get your only fans account going, and you're raking in
the dough.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Wait a minute, While I don't think you can only
fans as a mascot, I think that well, if.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
You never take your your head off, they would It
doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I don't think you could only fan just with the
head and the rest of your.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
No, no, no, no no, I mean as if you were
in shape.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
No, you're not in the costume, you ask. The idea
is that you're in shape.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
That was the joke.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
It had nothing to do with the costume.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
You wear the costume at work, but you're anonymous, so
you could go into your private life get after it.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
It would look like a scene from a real like
maybe the first season of True Detective. Like you know,
you're the deer and you have the deer antlers and
you're just in.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Like your underwear and you're running around.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
I don't tell you what said, so well, sometimes you
created a whole other scenario that I wasn't even talking about.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You say things and I know that's exactly where you're going.
You're the one that said OnlyFans account. You're the one
that brought that. I said, interacting with kids and fans
and how much fun.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
But no, no, no, but here's the thing in that place,
you're still the mascot. I'm saying, if you're jacked up
because you have to do the athleticism of the mascot.
Once you take the mask, you know, nobody cared who
I was, you know until I put on the mask. Well,
you can put that away, and there's a lucrative opportunity
for you to work in other means being in shape
(09:46):
off that persona and nobody has to know you're the gorilla.
Nobody has to know you're a cougar or a bear
or a bull or anything else.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I could buy it. No one told me I could. Look,
I could I could go.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Buy an exers sized bike. I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Is Peloton even in business I'm running, really is really cheap?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Now I gotta think that. Uh no, I go buy that.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I mean a lot of people have bailed on it,
but I mean their biggest advertising thing is that people
don't leave.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
You buy an exercise bike.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I could go it.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Or I could just buy a treadmill. I'd walk on
the treadmill. That's what I'd do. I'd stay in shape
and walk around how much running do I really have
to do as a mascot? Aren't I walking around taking
pictures and interacting?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Right?
Speaker 4 (10:26):
But when you do have to go do something athletic,
you know, bounce off the trampoline and dunk a ball
or any of those things, what are.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
You gonna do?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Take three steps? So no, no, no, like when he
was at WrestleMania.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
No, here's an easy question. Do I have to run? No?
I don't have to run. The bounce, don't do things.
I don't have to run around.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I just have to bounce. I just have to bounce.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I just have to bounce and be the kind of
athletic and bounce and dunk and that I could do.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
The running is are gonna be the tough part? I mean?
Speaker 6 (10:54):
But then I ascot in action? Jason, Yeah, dude, how.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Many don't you think?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Don't you think I have one camera in my house
trained on mister Mett at all times.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
When I watched the Mets.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
That's not a mascot. That guy doesn't run.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Sure he does because he's got a big head.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Mostly just horrendous.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I mean I could be mister Met easy. I mean,
the guy just walks around.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
You know what that really he flips people off a lot,
not a lot.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
He did it once. But of course you know that that.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Takes out with Missus Mett. That's example for kids.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Man, What do you mean mister mister and Missus Medder
they weren't together. They've been married since nineteen sixty two.
You stop with them. Missus lost back in nineteen sixty two.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Sure she did, mister ms Mat. Hang on, I'll look
it up. Missus met Missus meda guaranttee you Missus Mett.
Hang on, Missus Mett, you have looked before.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Hang on, well, missus Mets on Wikipedia, hang on, one
of baseball's oldest mascots.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Here.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It is a human with a large baseball head.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
They did bring her in pretty early, how about there
it is. Yes, they didn't want they didn't want mister
Mett to be seen as swinging bachelor and New York City.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
The Mets had their inaugural season of Mister Met and
then you know, maybe mister Met was looking for a
lady looking for love. Then they introduced Missus Met the
next season. So they've been together since nineteen sixty three.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Yeah, I mean, we're talking about the NBA. But let's
expand it out. I mean, now that you're into the Mets,
look at look at the philthy fanatic. I mean that
guy on a day to day basis, you have no
idea if he's going to be assaulted. Some of the
stuff he did with Tommy Lesorda. I mean, that's that's
a lot of that. I gotta be careful see.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
But that's where I bring that little extra bit to
the mascot. Like I'm not someone that always has to
run and jump and dunk, but I can do crazy
stuff with the fans. That'd be pretty good acting that
I wouldn't have to run. Oh look, how funny that
guy is. That guy's really good. And I use, you know,
the brain power, my noggin, what I got going on.
I would be funny if I did this, be funny.
If I did this, I'll steal a bullpen cart.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I'll do it. I mean when they had bullpen car.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
I think you were trying to describe yourself as Greg
kinnear and aman.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Do I'll hell are you doing. I'll you get to
dance to baby Ellen walking.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I'll go out and take Verlander out of the game
asking for the ball. My big Met's hand, give me
the ball. You're coming out of the game, justin you're
coming out of the gay Na. I would find my
own way. Man, they would love me as a mask.
I don't don't have to be running around, doesn't always
have to be something about stamina and being in shape.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I mean, yeah, Matt Damon, Matt Damon had it right
at the end of air. This is just stupid running it.
It's just stupid.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Well, that is true, and sometimes you know, we we
learned from other shows that ended recently that you can't
outrun everything.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
So here's a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
There. I'm seriously if iland that's where I would go,
you would find I would be some kind of mascot somewhere,
an trance figure salary. Yeah, of course. I mean people
even know what the hell the Nuggets mascot did.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
No one even knows. No one even knows the name
of the mask.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Phoenix Gorillas, way on his Met that guy, that guy
needs to be getting like six seven hundred grand and
you stop.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I learned that with Mellows. Stop with them.

to talk to you right now for that conversation than
a man joining us who got to.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
See the ghost fork.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Up close and personal tonight covering the Mets Phillies game
code I senga seven innings, one hit.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Of thousand ghost forks.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
It is MLB Network insider, Fox Sports Radio insider John
Paulmrosi JP, what's happening to my man?
Speaker 5 (15:10):
How are you down right striteful? My friends? The ghost
fork invoke all of your favorite ghostly words, because that
was a devastating, ghoulish forkball that the Philadelphia Phillies could
barely touch. As you saw, probably because you watch all
(15:32):
things New York Mets, there was one bloop single that
landed about seven feet in front of Tommy fam That
was the one base hit that Senga relinquished in his
seven innings. Brilliant outing the Mets. They get a home
run from Lindor Francisco Alvarez looks like the truth behind
the plate. I think things are looking up. And I'll
(15:53):
say this, there was a brilliant Again, as I'm sure
you've already documented on the radio program a couple different times,
Brandon Nemo steals a home run from Nick Cassianos. The
last game that I witnessed at City Field was last
August when he denied Justin Turner a home run. So basically,
(16:16):
I would say, Jason, every time I come to the ballpark,
I see Brandon Nemo do something very special. So just
it was a great night all the way around. And
I had the thought, as I was watching the Mets
superstars do one great thing after another, I cannot wait
to tell Jason Smith all these things.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Well, hang on, I'm.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Buying you tickets for every Mets home game the rest
of the year.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Hang on while you complete your purchase. While you your purchase,
that that little the little pin wheel is spinning around
the screens as your as your payment information is being accepted.
So while that happens, we shall continue with the segment.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
All right, now, let me ask you this, because this
is until I knew you were at you you got
to see the ghost fork up close tonight that disappear
are fothaball. I gotta ask you a question, but you
have to answer me honestly. So tonight before the A's game,
a fan, young kid runs on the field, is able
to run the bases backwards. Nobody tries to stop him.
(17:14):
None of the grounds around the field try to stop him.
He's able to run around the bases, go back into
the stands.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Without getting in trouble.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I ask you, could you beat him around the bases
starting from the left field foul line. If you were
racing that kid all the way around the bases all
the way home, could you win that race?
Speaker 5 (17:33):
That is a great question. I have heard this. I
have heard tales of this legend from tonight. Could I
beat him in a race? So would I be starting
from the camera well and then running around.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yes, starting from the camera, and you are in a
suit and shoes. That's why I said, if you could,
because you were in a suit and.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Shoes, Theoretically, theoretically I might be able to win that.
I mean, let's let's be honest here, let's see here, Okay,
if if I were to endeavor to do this, Let's
remember this was I was a very very very poor
athlete in high school. Poor. However, I have had to
(18:14):
be adept in the realm of running around from dugout
to dugout to do interviews in the middle of games.
And you want to know what's really nerve wracking when
you're running trying to run and make sure that you're
not getting in the way of Major League Baseball players,
and also realize that you're running in front of either
(18:36):
the scouts and or the people who have the money
to sit directly behind home plate. So you're really that's
a tough audience, in my opinion, And there was one
time when I was I was trying to This is
a true story. This is Opening Day this year. We
talk about how well the Yankees have played. The Yankee
season was about about ten feet away from not being
(18:58):
so great at the start, because we were doing interviews
in between innings and I was trying to get into
the most advantageous place to be to interview Aaron Boone,
and I was waiting for the Yankees players to take
the field, and right in front of me, and I
think I counted to eight, but I forgot to count
to nine, like the ninth person was going to take
(19:19):
the field. And I will say this, Garrett Cole came
with it about five feet just just like tackling me.
I mean. And so he was coming out of the dugout,
and you know, like Garrett Cole when he takes them out,
he's a pretty serious guy, as he should be, and
like he looked like I was about like a jab
step and about ready to like to like step in
(19:41):
front of him. And then like all of a sudden,
I saw this mountain of a man ascending the steps
and I said, oh no, John, oh no, oh no,
you better back up. I mean, that's like like evasive countermeasures.
You cannot run into Garrett Cole on opening day like this.
This would not be a good way to begin in
the Yankee season. And it would be I would say
(20:03):
the end of my season if that was how by
my year, If if I was not injured, I would
have been excused from all future assignments. If I had
in some way gotten a charging call on on the
Yankees ace on opening Day.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
So there, yeah, you, here's your.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
John Morosie running running out of the field story.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
You would have just gotten ejected like Aaron Boom.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
I would have been. I would have been ejected by
the Yankees, by major League Baseball, by my bosses. I
would have been. I would have been able to join
the show every single night because I just I would
have been home all the time. I would have would
have been the end of my assignments for the whole year.
Right there.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
JP is now following football because he's got so much
spare time on his hands. John Rossi with us here
at Jason Smithshell with Mike Garment from the Tyrek dot
Com studios. All right, Jason's all all things Mets Brave,
still the leaders.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
In the clubhouse in that division.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
But we're starting to see at least a little bit
of life out of Philly. Uh is Atlanta gonna be
able to wire this thing?
Speaker 5 (21:01):
So here's my thought on the Braves. One of the
most important pitchers for them is Mike Soroka, and he
came back. He lost his first start. But the important
thing is Betty's back. Max Freed, I really don't know
exactly when he's going to come back. I think the
Braves are being very cautious with him with his elbow issue.
(21:22):
Who knows. So my point is they're going to have
to find a way to get all the way to October.
I think maybe you get five Max Freed starts, maybe
it's ten, but it's not going to be anything close
to what you hoped he was going to be. And
so I think that for that reason, Jared Schuster, Dylan Dodd,
(21:42):
Mike Soroka, these are really important pitchers for the Braves
for the next four months is to get to October.
So do I think they're the best team in the
National League East? I do. But you know the thing
about the Mets is their bullpen is been better than
you thought it was going to be. Robertson's been great
(22:02):
in the ninth inning. Ottovino has been great as a
setup guy. The thing about the Mets is when things
really get going and if they can get some good
rhythm with with Verlander and Max. Obviously, you know Senga
was so good tonight. The thing that concerns me with
with the Mets a little bit is at some point,
(22:24):
how many starting pitchers are you going to be able
to make sure that they get additional rests. So right
now Senga is always going on five days. Of course
that was his routine in Japan, But can you finesse
the rest of the rotation? What does that then mean
for Verlander, for Max, for anybody else? And do those
guys need breaks? So I think it's going to be close.
(22:47):
I like the Braves lineup better than really any other
lineup in the National League, and I think their pitching
is going to be good enough to hold off the Mets.
But I like what I'm seeing from the Mets right now.
They've been better, and Franciscobra is buying the plate man.
He's got a chance to be special for a long time.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Oh, John PALMERROSI greatest person in the world, is with
us right now here.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carbon Live from the
Tirerack dot Com Studios.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
All right, so here we are jp what we've seen
so far baseball up until Memorial Day, Memorial Day, fourth
or July and Labor Day are all big times to
take stock of what we've seen what's coming. If I
said to you, complete the phrase, the biggest surprise of
the year so far has been what would be your answer?
The biggest surprise, positive or negative? Biggest surprise of the
(23:34):
year so far has been blank? What would you tell me.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
The Podres being as bad as they are? I I
you know, we should have seen this coming, that there
was some potential peril on how they built themselves and
spent a ton of money, And so for me, the
struggles collectively Machado obviously he's been injured. There's just a
lot going on with that team right now. And to me,
(24:02):
one of the greatest quandaries that any team ever has
is not is not just being being bad or being
below five hundred, but it's being below five hundred with
a roster that you really can't adjust very much, you know.
They the Padres answer recently was to claim various enches
(24:23):
on waivers. I mean, they're they're not They're not really
as deep as perhaps they told us they were. And Tice,
I mean, you look at their their status right now
in the National League West. They are not as good
as the Diamondbacks. We know that they're not as good
as the Dodgers, but they're not as good as the
(24:44):
d Backs. And the d Backs have I think a
really good team. I think Arizona is young and athletic,
and they've got some pitching now and that's where the
padres for all their flaws when they run up against
some more some younger and more talented team. Their weaknesses
right now are on display.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Yeah, as we get into the end of this weekend
and into June, JP most exciting thing for me is
the AL East because we have no true sellers in anything.
Uh So it's gonna be that you know, poker game
up until the deadline, where everybody's sweating like hogs, uh,
trying to figure out how they outwit and out last
the rest.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
This is beautiful, it is and and I think that
talking about teams that are all in right now, the
Blue Jays are one of them. They need to find
a way to I think, address their their offense a bit.
They've had some injury, some inconsistency, their rotation with with
Manoa struggling is a big, big question for them too.
(25:44):
The Yankees are interesting. They're they're a good team. Sometimes
they're very good, but they're also flawed, and now they
have some other injuries. Vader Now is another injury concerned.
I like Baltimore's team a lot. I like the Rays
a lot. I really think that when they get to
the postseason this might surprise you. I think Baltimore is
(26:07):
going to be by the end of the year the
toughest team to play in that division. And I'd say
that because they're athletic. Obviously, Mullens being out now is
a concern, but they are the classic team that can
make a significant move in the deadline because their payroll
is so under control. They don't really have any bad
money on the books right now, and they've got the
(26:29):
best farm system in the sport. And when you line
up all of those elements combined, good payroll, really good
farm system, chance to win, you make a move. And
I think for that reason, they're farm systems in better
shape than Boston's. It's the better shape than the Yankees,
in better shape than the Blue Jays. This is going
to be a really interesting deadline, and for me, the
(26:51):
team I'm watching them most carefully is the deadline right
now is the Baltimore Oureos.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
You can follow on Twitter at John Morosi. That is
that John Morose. Maybe you'll see him racing around the
bases backwards at some point, maybe after tomorrow, like Mets game.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Maybe maybe backwards. I think, you know, I was a
very very mediocre defensive back, and so I could at
least backpedal a little bit. You had to keep your
your right ratios of of how you were sinking back,
as they would say. So you know, we'll play we'll
cover three. Back in the day, I could do that
a little bit. So I'll look to how I turn out.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I mean, and you like to tell us you don't
know anything about football. Look at that sitting here talking
about cover three.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Nice job, buddy, Cover you go, Cover two, Cover three? Yeah,
I mean, like again, cover four. Play the game. I
played the game. I don't know. I don't know anything
about the contemporary sport. But I waited. That's all I got.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
That's all I all right, No, no, you got If
I said to you, who's the who's the head coach
of the Lions, you'd know that.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Right, Gambell?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
All right, there you go see there you got JP.
You you could be an insider. You could be an
NFL insider.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
There I got.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
I got one coach. That's about it. Belichick's still coaching,
isn't he still there?
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Belichick is still.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
I got two coaches, got two coaches all league. I'm serious, guys,
I couldn't tell you anybody else. I'm out. I mean,
I stay, I stay in my lane. My lane is
baseball and hock and soccer. I suppose that's all I got.
The NBA, I can't. I cannot name you a single
player in the final. Couldn't even couldn't even try. I'm out.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
My JP say your money have fun. Oh that'd be
my favorite line. Campbell and Belichick is still coaching, right, yes,
so they can. There you go.

after today, I have to put another team in my
never again list.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Okay, I you know, I have a list.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Of teams and I am never going to pick them
to ever win anything big again because they always because
they always fall short.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Right sure?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
And on this list Phoenix Suns, Arizona Basketball, usc football,
the Raiders. I just added the seventy six ers to
that list this year and Brazil soccer a.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Little slow on the Sixers, but okay.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Never again because I kept falling for the Sixers. I
kept falling for him.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
That's what it is. Now never again.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Nick Nurse isn't going to be enough to entice you.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
No, like Nick Nurse is going to keep joellingbiid there.
Oh yeah great, I'll stay Nick Nurses.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Oh fantastic.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
No.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
But after today, and it was kind of when I
realized that, after hearing him talk about this is when
I realized that, you know what, there's just always an excuse.
And so going on this list is the Boston Celtics. Okay,
Celtics go on this.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
List, at least this iteration of them.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah, this is this the I'm not going to pick
this Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown led team. No, I'm not
going to do it, and I'm probably probably in the
in the future. I'm not going to do it. Never
what if Missoula gets fired and who becomes the coach, Well,
someone who is at Missoula.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Doc Rivers.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Well come on, now, I was just going into the
larger of Hey, it's an unknown and maybe they they
can inject some life or whatever.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
But I bring I'll tell you, I'll do it. I'll
do it.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
I mean, is Doc greater than Joe Missoula?
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Just kidding, But.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I after seeing Tatum say, hey, I was a shell
of myself after I hurt my ankle on the first
play of the game. And I get that, right, I
get that it wasn't the same Jason Tatum, And I
also understand that Generation Z athletes. Now, I told you,
the biggest thing that I'll have to deal with the
next few years is is the psychology the Generation Z
(31:25):
athlete who was different from Generation X and millennials and
how they attack the game and things they say about
their feelings right in sports, And you know, you would
never hear a leader of any kind say, oh, I
was a shell of myself.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I couldn't do anything in that game.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
What.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
No, you're the guy making the money, you're the big leader,
You're the guy that has no problem when you score
fifty doing every interview known to mankind. But when you can't,
you say, oh no, I was a shell of myself.
I couldn't do anything. I get that he was being truthful.
He probably felt like he was being truthful. But I
just saw this as here's another excuse for the Celtics, right,
because the Heat had injuries too, they found a way.
(32:04):
You know, the Celtics were good enough, you know, to
win tons of games. They were good enough to win
when Tatum had big games. When Tatum didn't have big games,
he still played his normal amounts of minutes. You know,
they could have figured out a way around it.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
And they didn't.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
And they didn't even show up. And that's the whole thing.
Tatum could have had a big game, but they lose
by ten, they lose by twelve, they lose by thirteen.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Well what is that?
Speaker 1 (32:23):
And you know, I just got to the point where
I said, you know what, this iteration the celt they're
just not gonna win. They just don't have what it takes.
They don't have the leadership, they don't have the overall
star power. And now trying to remake this team where
you have Jalen Brown, who would ostensibly be do a
ton of money. Do you even want to go forward
with him? Who do you replace him with? Is the
(32:44):
next person coming in going to be someone that's just
as good? Will he be the leader that Jason Tatum isn't.
Will Joe Mizzoula get it if you keep him around
for one more year? It's just it's just too much.
It's just there's too many disappearances by the Celtics and
there's too many, too many times they've gotten in their
own way when they've not shown up for games where
they have no reason to not show up for And
(33:06):
so that was all of that like kind of hit me,
you know, reading about Jason Tatum's comments about I was
a shell of myself and I just realized, you know what,
there's always gonna be an excuse and they're just not
good enough. They just don't have that metal to them. So, yeah,
Celtics going on. I'm not gonna fall for the Celtics
next year, the year after, Oh, Tatum here now now
Tatum's great, he's twenty seven, he's done.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Then, no, not falling for the Celtics not doing it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
See, in this particular case, I'll give him credit for
just saying, hey, I sucked because Jelen Brown did that.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
All right, You had a bad game, You own it,
and you move on.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
This isn't saying you know, hey, it's just you know,
unbelievable and I have no idea what No, No, you
played badly, so you own it and you move on.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Do do?
Speaker 4 (33:49):
I believe they need a lot of changes. Sure, they
need to go find a bench beyond Brogden. I mean,
how much would he have helped if he'd played based
on the rest of the body language see where body
languge jacksperts now and just the energy that they brought.
I don't think you would have meant a whole hell
of a lot, Especially if you keep chucking threes.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Goes back to what happened with the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
You're gonna keep throwing up thirty five three point shots
by guys that aren't Reeves or someone who show you
they can consistently hit a three point shot. You will lose,
and you will lose consistently and that's what the Celtics
did as well.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
So full energy, chanting. Go go get the Kyrie sagebrushes.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
I'm telling you because you gotta figure out how to
win at home in the playhoffs. Time and time again
we watch them fail. They lost three home games to
the Heat. Go figure that out. Go figure out how
do you must protect this house. Figure out what coach
it's gonna be able to instill that. Get some fire,
go see the Wizard, get some.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
Art, bring Doc Rivers back.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
I'll do it. Did win a title, I'll do it.
I could be there tomorrow. I gotta bring my guys in. Though.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Ray Allen's gonna keep playing Doc ray Allen's forty seven.
Oh it doesn't matter. I've seen him do some things.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Hey, it's gonna be great. And my son comes in
to play point guard. Oh wait wait wait talk way, No,
that's the deal. That's the deal. He doesn't he does it?
Or I walk? I walk?
Speaker 1 (35:08):
I mean, look, when it comes to it, you can
just show replays of the two thousand and eight Celtics.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
No one's gonna care. No one's gonna care.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
They can you can pre regular games with those games.
No one's gonna care. They'd love to see that. Paul Pierce,
everybody be great, They'd love it.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
I'll be there tomorrow, uh.

We take a look at the status of Major League
Baseball here at the Memorial Day ish marking point finance.
What he sees ahead, what surprise teams could make the playoffs,
biggest disappointments. Code is Senga's ghost Fork because he saw
(01:11):
it up close and personal in New York tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Jason question.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Nicely dot a little personal springle mixed therein Paul Bear
for those that remember, Uh yeah, I'm raise my cup
to him. Do you think John Palm Morosi could beat
that guy from Oakland around the bases?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Oh, we'll ask him that. I don't think he can.
JP is forty now and that kid's gotta be sixteen.
JP would be in dress shoes or loafers and dress.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
I mean that guy had some pretty big strides, like
that was the bigger thing. Like these were not Babe
Ruth little little steps.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, that's not that. That's
not gonna happen. I don't think he can. That would
be tough. All about.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
What I'd like to do is like do one of
those side by side things and like meet like one
of us, run as fast as we can around the
base and see if we beat the kid, Like that'd
be good.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And you say, go, but that's a dude.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I'd be exhausted by the time he got to the
left field line because it was so long from the
stands all the way to the left field line.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I'm ready, let's go.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Jeez, we still need to have that race in the
parking lot because you tried to disparage my good name
a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah, listen, how about instead I buy fat salas on Thursday.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I think we can do that. Yeah, okay, there he goes.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I think that won't help my forty time, but I
think that'll be funny.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
How do we solve problems? We buy food? All right, Great,
that's solved all the way.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Well, I mean, look, that's one of the things I'm
working through, the psychology of eating. When do I eat
when I'm sad, when I'm stressed?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
When do I need I'm hungry? I eat when I'm awake?
Is the other thing?
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Right?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
How much sun did you get? We relating to my sunburn,
all of it. So we move on. Look, if you say,
I guarantee you this. There's twenty four hours in a day.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
If you said to me, Jason, and you asked me
one of these two questions at any part of the day,
I would say yes to one of them every single
time you asked me. If you said to me, could
you A go for something to eat? Or B could
you go for a nap? I would say yes to
one of those two questions every single time you asked me.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Sometimes he's just gonna be Oh, I go for something
to eat. Yes, I need something. Sometimes no, no, no,
I can go for a nap.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Sometimes it be I could go for something to eat
and then a nap, or sometimes be I could go
for a nap and then wake up and have something
to eat. Like it would be yes to one of
those questions every single time you ask me.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yeah, no, that's that's about the right thing for for folks,
our agent and Mike.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
You know what a hawser is?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I believe that is a translation for a pig?
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Is it not eat something?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Okay? Hang on? Haza hasa What is a haza?
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
It's a small field or a plot of arable land.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Oh a hawser, you dummy?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Oh aha, a hawser? Hang on?
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Uh, I've never seen scarface?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Now a hawser?
Speaker 6 (04:08):
You know what a hase is?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Frank the hasa Uh?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Okay, you could have just said that that's a really
that was really well done too.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
That was good. I'm trying to a good impression there,
prosper all right, all right, can you do Berman? I
don't think so altho. That is the if you do,
If you do a hawser scarface, the first he comes up.
Is you know what a has is? Frank, Yeah, it's
right there. And I have the scene with Robert Loja
(04:37):
and everything, Robert Robert, oh for oh my god, it's right.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
I swear it wasn't me.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
You want a big, bold prediction, I'll give you one
right now. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
If I ever left radio or being a broadcaster, I
know exactly what I would do for a living, and
I wouldn't think twice about it. After the news today,
I would be an NBA mascot one hundred percent. I
was blown away by the Sports Illustrated story today on
how much team mascots get in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I couldn't believe this was right. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
The all thirty NBA teams Sports Illustrated Sports Business Journey.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Revealed you can make a ton of money. Okay. The
number one earning mascot is Rocky, who's a mountain lion,
all right.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
The mascot the dude makes six hundred and twenty five
thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
He's a hell of an athlete, six hundred and twenty
five grand.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
The next highest is the Hawk's mascot, Harry the Hawk, right,
he gets six hundred grand a year.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Who was ahead of.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
The third place mascot, which is Benny the Bull sticky tape.
Benny the Bull makes four hundred thousand dollars annually.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I mean, there's a nice picture of Benny the Bull
hanging out with Chrissy Tigan and John Legend on the
list I'm looking at.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Did you forget about this sticky tape?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I mean real, I like to think I know a
lot of stuff about what's going on at all times
in sports. But if you said to me, what do
the sports mascots make? What does sports mascots make? I
would say I would say I would guess the big
ones that you know, they make a couple grand a game,
(06:20):
and then they make individual money.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
For appearances they do, and that's how they I would
have thought we'd maybe gotten to one hundred grand.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Like I would have thought, yeah, like I'd have thought,
maybe you know, forty your twenty two grand a game,
and you know you're talking about forty one games and
then whatever you have in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Obviously you can't count the playoffs. So I mean that's
just structured separately, right, Hey, above and beyond sure.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Two grand a game, and then when you appear as
the mascot, you have to give a certain amount of
money to the team, or the team just pays you
a certain amount of money to make an appearance. Hey,
Benny the Bull, we're going to visit the school today,
or you know, Harry the Hawk, we're going to visit here.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Okay, great, you're gonna get this.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And I would have thought that it would really you
would really be hustled to make low six figures.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
These dudes are on easy Street man six hundred grand
a year.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, you got to marry your body. You gotta be
able to stay in shape.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I mean, you were talking about how how hard it
was gonna be for you to run from left field.
That means you can't do what they're doing in Denver.
The gorilla is only making two hundred grand. I mean
he gets kind of uh. He's also got to sign
a bunch of insurance waivers to do some of the
crap he does.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
No, but here's what I would do is you're never
supposed to see the mascot without his head off. So
I would go like, okay, great, yet ready to get
I'm gonna go in the room to and I would
I would cut a deal with somebody who was about
as tall as me, built like me, but was a
lot younger and can run and do stuff. Because the
mascots don't really talk either, they would go out and
do it. I would split the money with them, and
I wouldn't even have to mascot. I would just I
would just sit around, and I would just sit and
(07:49):
watch a game in the dressing room and had games
all with the mascot comes in at the end, I
put the mascot thing back on. Boom, dude, here's your
grand awesome great go and I make the rest of
I feel pretty good about it.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I wouldn't even have.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
To mascot, but I would suck it up and get
in shape and get in mascot shape to for six
hundred grand a year to work forty nights, to work
forty nights, and to have fun and get to interact
with kids and and with big fans and stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Oh my god, it would be awesome. Six hundred grand, man,
I was, I will.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
And you got a lot of downtime too, right, It's
you know, you got a lot of downtime in the
off season. So I mean, if you're in shape, you
get your only fans account going, and you're raking in
the dough.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Wait a minute, While I don't think you can only
fans as a mascot, I think that well, if.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
You never take your your head off, they would It
doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I don't think you could only fan just with the
head and the rest of your.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
No, no, no, no no, I mean as if you were
in shape.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
No, you're not in the costume, you ask. The idea
is that you're in shape.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
That was the joke.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
It had nothing to do with the costume.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
You wear the costume at work, but you're anonymous, so
you could go into your private life get after it.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
It would look like a scene from a real like
maybe the first season of True Detective. Like you know,
you're the deer and you have the deer antlers and
you're just in.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Like your underwear and you're running around.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
I don't tell you what said, so well, sometimes you
created a whole other scenario that I wasn't even talking about.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You say things and I know that's exactly where you're going.
You're the one that said OnlyFans account. You're the one
that brought that. I said, interacting with kids and fans
and how much fun.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
But no, no, no, but here's the thing in that place,
you're still the mascot. I'm saying, if you're jacked up
because you have to do the athleticism of the mascot.
Once you take the mask, you know, nobody cared who
I was, you know until I put on the mask. Well,
you can put that away, and there's a lucrative opportunity
for you to work in other means being in shape
(09:46):
off that persona and nobody has to know you're the gorilla.
Nobody has to know you're a cougar or a bear
or a bull or anything else.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I could buy it. No one told me I could. Look,
I could I could go.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Buy an exers sized bike. I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Is Peloton even in business I'm running, really is really cheap?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Now I gotta think that. Uh no, I go buy that.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I mean a lot of people have bailed on it,
but I mean their biggest advertising thing is that people
don't leave.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
You buy an exercise bike.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I could go it.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Or I could just buy a treadmill. I'd walk on
the treadmill. That's what I'd do. I'd stay in shape
and walk around how much running do I really have
to do as a mascot? Aren't I walking around taking
pictures and interacting?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Right?
Speaker 4 (10:26):
But when you do have to go do something athletic,
you know, bounce off the trampoline and dunk a ball
or any of those things, what are.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
You gonna do?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Take three steps? So no, no, no, like when he
was at WrestleMania.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
No, here's an easy question. Do I have to run? No?
I don't have to run. The bounce, don't do things.
I don't have to run around.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I just have to bounce. I just have to bounce.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I just have to bounce and be the kind of
athletic and bounce and dunk and that I could do.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
The running is are gonna be the tough part? I mean?
Speaker 6 (10:54):
But then I ascot in action? Jason, Yeah, dude, how.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Many don't you think?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Don't you think I have one camera in my house
trained on mister Mett at all times.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
When I watched the Mets.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
That's not a mascot. That guy doesn't run.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Sure he does because he's got a big head.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Mostly just horrendous.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I mean I could be mister Met easy. I mean,
the guy just walks around.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
You know what that really he flips people off a lot,
not a lot.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
He did it once. But of course you know that that.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Takes out with Missus Mett. That's example for kids.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Man, What do you mean mister mister and Missus Medder
they weren't together. They've been married since nineteen sixty two.
You stop with them. Missus lost back in nineteen sixty two.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Sure she did, mister ms Mat. Hang on, I'll look
it up. Missus met Missus meda guaranttee you Missus Mett.
Hang on, Missus Mett, you have looked before.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Hang on, well, missus Mets on Wikipedia, hang on, one
of baseball's oldest mascots.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Here.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It is a human with a large baseball head.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
They did bring her in pretty early, how about there
it is. Yes, they didn't want they didn't want mister
Mett to be seen as swinging bachelor and New York City.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
The Mets had their inaugural season of Mister Met and
then you know, maybe mister Met was looking for a
lady looking for love. Then they introduced Missus Met the
next season. So they've been together since nineteen sixty three.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Yeah, I mean, we're talking about the NBA. But let's
expand it out. I mean, now that you're into the Mets,
look at look at the philthy fanatic. I mean that
guy on a day to day basis, you have no
idea if he's going to be assaulted. Some of the
stuff he did with Tommy Lesorda. I mean, that's that's
a lot of that. I gotta be careful see.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
But that's where I bring that little extra bit to
the mascot. Like I'm not someone that always has to
run and jump and dunk, but I can do crazy
stuff with the fans. That'd be pretty good acting that
I wouldn't have to run. Oh look, how funny that
guy is. That guy's really good. And I use, you know,
the brain power, my noggin, what I got going on.
I would be funny if I did this, be funny.
If I did this, I'll steal a bullpen cart.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I'll do it. I mean when they had bullpen car.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
I think you were trying to describe yourself as Greg
kinnear and aman.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Do I'll hell are you doing. I'll you get to
dance to baby Ellen walking.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I'll go out and take Verlander out of the game
asking for the ball. My big Met's hand, give me
the ball. You're coming out of the game, justin you're
coming out of the gay Na. I would find my
own way. Man, they would love me as a mask.
I don't don't have to be running around, doesn't always
have to be something about stamina and being in shape.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I mean, yeah, Matt Damon, Matt Damon had it right
at the end of air. This is just stupid running it.
It's just stupid.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Well, that is true, and sometimes you know, we we
learned from other shows that ended recently that you can't
outrun everything.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
So here's a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
There. I'm seriously if iland that's where I would go,
you would find I would be some kind of mascot somewhere,
an trance figure salary. Yeah, of course. I mean people
even know what the hell the Nuggets mascot did.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
No one even knows. No one even knows the name
of the mask.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Phoenix Gorillas, way on his Met that guy, that guy
needs to be getting like six seven hundred grand and
you stop.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I learned that with Mellows. Stop with them.

to talk to you right now for that conversation than
a man joining us who got to.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
See the ghost fork.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Up close and personal tonight covering the Mets Phillies game
code I senga seven innings, one hit.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Of thousand ghost forks.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
It is MLB Network insider, Fox Sports Radio insider John
Paulmrosi JP, what's happening to my man?
Speaker 5 (15:10):
How are you down right striteful? My friends? The ghost
fork invoke all of your favorite ghostly words, because that
was a devastating, ghoulish forkball that the Philadelphia Phillies could
barely touch. As you saw, probably because you watch all
(15:32):
things New York Mets, there was one bloop single that
landed about seven feet in front of Tommy fam That
was the one base hit that Senga relinquished in his
seven innings. Brilliant outing the Mets. They get a home
run from Lindor Francisco Alvarez looks like the truth behind
the plate. I think things are looking up. And I'll
(15:53):
say this, there was a brilliant Again, as I'm sure
you've already documented on the radio program a couple different times,
Brandon Nemo steals a home run from Nick Cassianos. The
last game that I witnessed at City Field was last
August when he denied Justin Turner a home run. So basically,
(16:16):
I would say, Jason, every time I come to the ballpark,
I see Brandon Nemo do something very special. So just
it was a great night all the way around. And
I had the thought, as I was watching the Mets
superstars do one great thing after another, I cannot wait
to tell Jason Smith all these things.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Well, hang on, I'm.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Buying you tickets for every Mets home game the rest
of the year.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Hang on while you complete your purchase. While you your purchase,
that that little the little pin wheel is spinning around
the screens as your as your payment information is being accepted.
So while that happens, we shall continue with the segment.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
All right, now, let me ask you this, because this
is until I knew you were at you you got
to see the ghost fork up close tonight that disappear
are fothaball. I gotta ask you a question, but you
have to answer me honestly. So tonight before the A's game,
a fan, young kid runs on the field, is able
to run the bases backwards. Nobody tries to stop him.
(17:14):
None of the grounds around the field try to stop him.
He's able to run around the bases, go back into
the stands.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Without getting in trouble.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I ask you, could you beat him around the bases
starting from the left field foul line. If you were
racing that kid all the way around the bases all
the way home, could you win that race?
Speaker 5 (17:33):
That is a great question. I have heard this. I
have heard tales of this legend from tonight. Could I
beat him in a race? So would I be starting
from the camera well and then running around.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yes, starting from the camera, and you are in a
suit and shoes. That's why I said, if you could,
because you were in a suit and.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Shoes, Theoretically, theoretically I might be able to win that.
I mean, let's let's be honest here, let's see here, Okay,
if if I were to endeavor to do this, Let's
remember this was I was a very very very poor
athlete in high school. Poor. However, I have had to
(18:14):
be adept in the realm of running around from dugout
to dugout to do interviews in the middle of games.
And you want to know what's really nerve wracking when
you're running trying to run and make sure that you're
not getting in the way of Major League Baseball players,
and also realize that you're running in front of either
(18:36):
the scouts and or the people who have the money
to sit directly behind home plate. So you're really that's
a tough audience, in my opinion, And there was one
time when I was I was trying to This is
a true story. This is Opening Day this year. We
talk about how well the Yankees have played. The Yankee
season was about about ten feet away from not being
(18:58):
so great at the start, because we were doing interviews
in between innings and I was trying to get into
the most advantageous place to be to interview Aaron Boone,
and I was waiting for the Yankees players to take
the field, and right in front of me, and I
think I counted to eight, but I forgot to count
to nine, like the ninth person was going to take
(19:19):
the field. And I will say this, Garrett Cole came
with it about five feet just just like tackling me.
I mean. And so he was coming out of the dugout,
and you know, like Garrett Cole when he takes them out,
he's a pretty serious guy, as he should be, and
like he looked like I was about like a jab
step and about ready to like to like step in
(19:41):
front of him. And then like all of a sudden,
I saw this mountain of a man ascending the steps
and I said, oh no, John, oh no, oh no,
you better back up. I mean, that's like like evasive countermeasures.
You cannot run into Garrett Cole on opening day like this.
This would not be a good way to begin in
the Yankee season. And it would be I would say
(20:03):
the end of my season if that was how by
my year, If if I was not injured, I would
have been excused from all future assignments. If I had
in some way gotten a charging call on on the
Yankees ace on opening Day.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
So there, yeah, you, here's your.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
John Morosie running running out of the field story.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
You would have just gotten ejected like Aaron Boom.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
I would have been. I would have been ejected by
the Yankees, by major League Baseball, by my bosses. I
would have been. I would have been able to join
the show every single night because I just I would
have been home all the time. I would have would
have been the end of my assignments for the whole year.
Right there.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
JP is now following football because he's got so much
spare time on his hands. John Rossi with us here
at Jason Smithshell with Mike Garment from the Tyrek dot
Com studios. All right, Jason's all all things Mets Brave,
still the leaders.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
In the clubhouse in that division.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
But we're starting to see at least a little bit
of life out of Philly. Uh is Atlanta gonna be
able to wire this thing?
Speaker 5 (21:01):
So here's my thought on the Braves. One of the
most important pitchers for them is Mike Soroka, and he
came back. He lost his first start. But the important
thing is Betty's back. Max Freed, I really don't know
exactly when he's going to come back. I think the
Braves are being very cautious with him with his elbow issue.
(21:22):
Who knows. So my point is they're going to have
to find a way to get all the way to October.
I think maybe you get five Max Freed starts, maybe
it's ten, but it's not going to be anything close
to what you hoped he was going to be. And
so I think that for that reason, Jared Schuster, Dylan Dodd,
(21:42):
Mike Soroka, these are really important pitchers for the Braves
for the next four months is to get to October.
So do I think they're the best team in the
National League East? I do. But you know the thing
about the Mets is their bullpen is been better than
you thought it was going to be. Robertson's been great
(22:02):
in the ninth inning. Ottovino has been great as a
setup guy. The thing about the Mets is when things
really get going and if they can get some good
rhythm with with Verlander and Max. Obviously, you know Senga
was so good tonight. The thing that concerns me with
with the Mets a little bit is at some point,
(22:24):
how many starting pitchers are you going to be able
to make sure that they get additional rests. So right
now Senga is always going on five days. Of course
that was his routine in Japan, But can you finesse
the rest of the rotation? What does that then mean
for Verlander, for Max, for anybody else? And do those
guys need breaks? So I think it's going to be close.
(22:47):
I like the Braves lineup better than really any other
lineup in the National League, and I think their pitching
is going to be good enough to hold off the Mets.
But I like what I'm seeing from the Mets right now.
They've been better, and Franciscobra is buying the plate man.
He's got a chance to be special for a long time.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Oh, John PALMERROSI greatest person in the world, is with
us right now here.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carbon Live from the
Tirerack dot Com Studios.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
All right, so here we are jp what we've seen
so far baseball up until Memorial Day, Memorial Day, fourth
or July and Labor Day are all big times to
take stock of what we've seen what's coming. If I
said to you, complete the phrase, the biggest surprise of
the year so far has been what would be your answer?
The biggest surprise, positive or negative? Biggest surprise of the
(23:34):
year so far has been blank? What would you tell me.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
The Podres being as bad as they are? I I
you know, we should have seen this coming, that there
was some potential peril on how they built themselves and
spent a ton of money, And so for me, the
struggles collectively Machado obviously he's been injured. There's just a
lot going on with that team right now. And to me,
(24:02):
one of the greatest quandaries that any team ever has
is not is not just being being bad or being
below five hundred, but it's being below five hundred with
a roster that you really can't adjust very much, you know.
They the Padres answer recently was to claim various enches
(24:23):
on waivers. I mean, they're they're not They're not really
as deep as perhaps they told us they were. And Tice,
I mean, you look at their their status right now
in the National League West. They are not as good
as the Diamondbacks. We know that they're not as good
as the Dodgers, but they're not as good as the
(24:44):
d Backs. And the d Backs have I think a
really good team. I think Arizona is young and athletic,
and they've got some pitching now and that's where the
padres for all their flaws when they run up against
some more some younger and more talented team. Their weaknesses
right now are on display.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Yeah, as we get into the end of this weekend
and into June, JP most exciting thing for me is
the AL East because we have no true sellers in anything.
Uh So it's gonna be that you know, poker game
up until the deadline, where everybody's sweating like hogs, uh,
trying to figure out how they outwit and out last
the rest.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
This is beautiful, it is and and I think that
talking about teams that are all in right now, the
Blue Jays are one of them. They need to find
a way to I think, address their their offense a bit.
They've had some injury, some inconsistency, their rotation with with
Manoa struggling is a big, big question for them too.
(25:44):
The Yankees are interesting. They're they're a good team. Sometimes
they're very good, but they're also flawed, and now they
have some other injuries. Vader Now is another injury concerned.
I like Baltimore's team a lot. I like the Rays
a lot. I really think that when they get to
the postseason this might surprise you. I think Baltimore is
(26:07):
going to be by the end of the year the
toughest team to play in that division. And I'd say
that because they're athletic. Obviously, Mullens being out now is
a concern, but they are the classic team that can
make a significant move in the deadline because their payroll
is so under control. They don't really have any bad
money on the books right now, and they've got the
(26:29):
best farm system in the sport. And when you line
up all of those elements combined, good payroll, really good
farm system, chance to win, you make a move. And
I think for that reason, they're farm systems in better
shape than Boston's. It's the better shape than the Yankees,
in better shape than the Blue Jays. This is going
to be a really interesting deadline, and for me, the
(26:51):
team I'm watching them most carefully is the deadline right
now is the Baltimore Oureos.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
You can follow on Twitter at John Morosi. That is
that John Morose. Maybe you'll see him racing around the
bases backwards at some point, maybe after tomorrow, like Mets game.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Maybe maybe backwards. I think, you know, I was a
very very mediocre defensive back, and so I could at
least backpedal a little bit. You had to keep your
your right ratios of of how you were sinking back,
as they would say. So you know, we'll play we'll
cover three. Back in the day, I could do that
a little bit. So I'll look to how I turn out.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I mean, and you like to tell us you don't
know anything about football. Look at that sitting here talking
about cover three.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Nice job, buddy, Cover you go, Cover two, Cover three? Yeah,
I mean, like again, cover four. Play the game. I
played the game. I don't know. I don't know anything
about the contemporary sport. But I waited. That's all I got.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
That's all I all right, No, no, you got If
I said to you, who's the who's the head coach
of the Lions, you'd know that.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Right, Gambell?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
All right, there you go see there you got JP.
You you could be an insider. You could be an
NFL insider.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
There I got.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
I got one coach. That's about it. Belichick's still coaching,
isn't he still there?
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Belichick is still.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
I got two coaches, got two coaches all league. I'm serious, guys,
I couldn't tell you anybody else. I'm out. I mean,
I stay, I stay in my lane. My lane is
baseball and hock and soccer. I suppose that's all I got.
The NBA, I can't. I cannot name you a single
player in the final. Couldn't even couldn't even try. I'm out.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
My JP say your money have fun. Oh that'd be
my favorite line. Campbell and Belichick is still coaching, right, yes,
so they can. There you go.
Speaker 2 (28:40):

Speaker 3 (30:18):
List, at least this iteration of them.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah, this is this the I'm not going to pick
this Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown led team. No, I'm not
going to do it, and I'm probably probably in the
in the future. I'm not going to do it. Never
what if Missoula gets fired and who becomes the coach, Well,
someone who is at Missoula.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Doc Rivers.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Well come on, now, I was just going into the
larger of Hey, it's an unknown and maybe they they
can inject some life or whatever.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
But I bring I'll tell you, I'll do it. I'll
do it.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
I mean, is Doc greater than Joe Missoula?
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Just kidding, But.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I after seeing Tatum say, hey, I was a shell
of myself after I hurt my ankle on the first
play of the game. And I get that, right, I
get that it wasn't the same Jason Tatum, And I
also understand that Generation Z athletes. Now, I told you,
the biggest thing that I'll have to deal with the
next few years is is the psychology the Generation Z
(31:25):
athlete who was different from Generation X and millennials and
how they attack the game and things they say about
their feelings right in sports, And you know, you would
never hear a leader of any kind say, oh, I
was a shell of myself.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I couldn't do anything in that game.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
What.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
No, you're the guy making the money, you're the big leader,
You're the guy that has no problem when you score
fifty doing every interview known to mankind. But when you can't,
you say, oh no, I was a shell of myself.
I couldn't do anything. I get that he was being truthful.
He probably felt like he was being truthful. But I
just saw this as here's another excuse for the Celtics, right,
because the Heat had injuries too, they found a way.
(32:04):
You know, the Celtics were good enough, you know, to
win tons of games. They were good enough to win
when Tatum had big games. When Tatum didn't have big games,
he still played his normal amounts of minutes. You know,
they could have figured out a way around it.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
And they didn't.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
And they didn't even show up. And that's the whole thing.
Tatum could have had a big game, but they lose
by ten, they lose by twelve, they lose by thirteen.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Well what is that?
Speaker 1 (32:23):
And you know, I just got to the point where
I said, you know what, this iteration the celt they're
just not gonna win. They just don't have what it takes.
They don't have the leadership, they don't have the overall
star power. And now trying to remake this team where
you have Jalen Brown, who would ostensibly be do a
ton of money. Do you even want to go forward
with him? Who do you replace him with? Is the
(32:44):
next person coming in going to be someone that's just
as good? Will he be the leader that Jason Tatum isn't.
Will Joe Mizzoula get it if you keep him around
for one more year? It's just it's just too much.
It's just there's too many disappearances by the Celtics and
there's too many, too many times they've gotten in their
own way when they've not shown up for games where
they have no reason to not show up for And
(33:06):
so that was all of that like kind of hit me,
you know, reading about Jason Tatum's comments about I was
a shell of myself and I just realized, you know what,
there's always gonna be an excuse and they're just not
good enough. They just don't have that metal to them. So, yeah,
Celtics going on. I'm not gonna fall for the Celtics
next year, the year after, Oh, Tatum here now now
Tatum's great, he's twenty seven, he's done.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Then, no, not falling for the Celtics not doing it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
See, in this particular case, I'll give him credit for
just saying, hey, I sucked because Jelen Brown did that.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
All right, You had a bad game, You own it,
and you move on.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
This isn't saying you know, hey, it's just you know,
unbelievable and I have no idea what No, No, you
played badly, so you own it and you move on.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Do do?
Speaker 4 (33:49):
I believe they need a lot of changes. Sure, they
need to go find a bench beyond Brogden. I mean,
how much would he have helped if he'd played based
on the rest of the body language see where body
languge jacksperts now and just the energy that they brought.
I don't think you would have meant a whole hell
of a lot, Especially if you keep chucking threes.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Goes back to what happened with the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
You're gonna keep throwing up thirty five three point shots
by guys that aren't Reeves or someone who show you
they can consistently hit a three point shot. You will lose,
and you will lose consistently and that's what the Celtics
did as well.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
So full energy, chanting. Go go get the Kyrie sagebrushes.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
I'm telling you because you gotta figure out how to
win at home in the playhoffs. Time and time again
we watch them fail. They lost three home games to
the Heat. Go figure that out. Go figure out how
do you must protect this house. Figure out what coach
it's gonna be able to instill that. Get some fire,
go see the Wizard, get some.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
Art, bring Doc Rivers back.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
I'll do it. Did win a title, I'll do it.
I could be there tomorrow. I gotta bring my guys in. Though.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Ray Allen's gonna keep playing Doc ray Allen's forty seven.
Oh it doesn't matter. I've seen him do some things.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Hey, it's gonna be great. And my son comes in
to play point guard. Oh wait wait wait talk way, No,
that's the deal. That's the deal. He doesn't he does it?
Or I walk? I walk?
Speaker 1 (35:08):
I mean, look, when it comes to it, you can
just show replays of the two thousand and eight Celtics.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
No one's gonna care. No one's gonna care.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
They can you can pre regular games with those games.
No one's gonna care. They'd love to see that. Paul Pierce,
everybody be great, They'd love it.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
I'll be there tomorrow, uh.
