Fraser, all right, who justkilled it on the Home Run Derby.

(04:11):
How'd you strike up that relationship withthe great Todd Fraser? Dude? Honestly,
like you know, obviously everybody fromNew Jersey always wants to be like,
oh I beat him in Little Leagueand all this other stuff. I
didn't go that route. Uh.You know, he was towards the twilight
of his career. He was atthe Olympics. It was during COVID they
brought he brought back a silver medal. We started right before he's coaching or

(04:33):
playing. He got da fade.So he coached for the he played for
the Olympics. Okay, so it'spretty awesome. Twenty twenty, Todd Fraser
shooted up played Yeah. Wow,I didn't remember some nuts man. So
you saw like old and new comingtogether. So a lot of the rookies
that are now hitting, Todd hasa relationship with them, and like they
talk about, Hey, the firstI learned winning from the veterans on that

(04:56):
team. And it was him anda few others. But so I said,
yo, when you bring home thatmetal, will have you on the
pod. And he's like, okay, on the divide. Yeah. So
we had him on the divide.Uh. And then you know, he
was like, Hey, I wantto do this pong tournament. Do you
think you could broadcast that it.I was like, I could do more
than that. So and you did. Yeah we did, And tell you
a little bit. You raised moneyfor the uh SO first one was the

(05:19):
Field, the Little Field of Dreams, and then the second one was for
the Children's Specialized Hospital. Both worthycauses, both amazing. Bottom line,
they help kids that need help.Yeah, and they're sick. Yeah,
you know. So it was awesome. You were there, It was It
was a great production. You know, we're we're bringing it back in January.
We just talked on the phone yesterday. He's got to get through the

(05:40):
Little League World Series, so he'llbe broadcasting for that. He just did
the Home Run Derby. He doesthe series with Yes, with Michael K
incredibly, which is a dream cometrue too. He's like, yo,
I thought being a Yankee and beinga baseball player was one thing. He's
like, but now announcing with MichaelK is pretty sick. So yeah,
that relationship is strong man, andI'm just here to help. So sorry,
this is the song of the summer. Yeah, it really is.

(06:04):
J Nugget. But let's go theone thing. Yeah, the one thing
I wasn't happy about. So youhad Fraser in Texas Home Run Derby,
you had Pete there, you haveMax de Graham. I feel like there
it was an open house to seeif he wants to play in Texas,

(06:24):
you know what I mean. Soif he goes to Texas, he's a
gunner. Yeah, he's gone.I think you guys could have Mike Power
is a Mets fan. That's okay. I think if he was meant to
be a Met, it would havealready happened. Yeah, you know,
regardless of what the price tag is, you know, the money is there.
Look at Nugget. Nugget is actuallya DJ, which is crazy because

(06:45):
I didn't think Nugget was a DJ. But he is very smooth, very
smooth. I think nico OsO taughthim a lot, just like this bird
Gang smooth. All right, niceone, right, Yeah, I did
it. I did it. Sohere's the deal. The Mets actually turned
it on a little bit at theend of the first half. Are they
Are they gonna make life difficult forthe Atlanta Braves? No, I don't

(07:09):
know, man, Like I'm stillreverse drenxing this team. Like, you
know, there's there's so many God, so shout out to j mcostom right,
Jael, that's so cool. That'sso cool, it really is.
Hang on, continue with the match. We'll get it into jail. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, it's so look, it's a vibe right now,
it's got to keep up. Imean, you learn from the Phillies in

(07:31):
twenty twenty two you could sneak inand go all the way to a World
Series. So I'm being optimistic,but I'm being a realist too. I
don't want to see them spend andgive away the farm that they just built
for a run that falls flat.What it's one sixty two. Anything can
happen. And I love everybody thatsays like, oh no, this team

(07:54):
doesn't have it, or this teamdoes, like you brought up two years
ago. The Phillies fired Ji alreadyand they returned like form in nexceingo.
They were exceeding expectations and they madethe World Series. Yeah, nobody had
that, right, not even thatmost diehard Philly fan that had not.
All I know is, like Isaid, one sixty two, the craziest
things can happen, and right here, right now, Look, I put

(08:18):
the bulls eye squarely on the Philliesback right now with the two weeks stretches.
But talking about this for about amonth, they have a two week
stretch where they're going to because YankeesDodgers on the road, the Diamondbacks on
the road, Seattle Mariners, andthe Guardians. Four out of those five
are first place. If I'm notmistaking stuff. The Mets have the third
easiest schedule going through anything. Anythingcan happen, So we'll see how it

(08:41):
shakes out in the second half.Of course, who did the Mets start
with? After in the first half, who did you got? Well?
So we we just lost to theMarlins, so yeah, yeah, you
gotta win those. So it's kindof hard, like you're like, how
you feeling? Not very good?But it's not very good. Sevarino on
the minus one six too for theNew York Metropolitans. All right, one

(09:03):
more thought on the Mets. Let'stalk about Jay Okay, because this dude
deserves a lot of love. He'sgetting a ton of love from New York
folks. But so he does customsigns and like it's not your normal like
like normal signs, right, thisis like really thoughtful and artistic and just

(09:24):
well done across the board. AndI met him through the Todd Fraser Yeah,
ping Pong, the beer Punk tournament, Right, you had him there
was that a Todd Fraser. Yeah, he's my guy. He's my guy.
So when we built our stadium,our podcast, he gifted me a
Yankee emblem and a Met album WowFurther Divide, and we surprised Corey on
like our third ever episode, andhe was just shocked. So I've been

(09:48):
rolling with Jay Mac before anybody elsewas. I love the guy. It's
art, like you said, it'sit's not a sign, it's art.
So he saw this oh My Godsong by Jose Iglesias, who is a
Latin singer that the Mets just broughton and probably was the only going to
be here from a cup of coffee. But his song song sparked like kind
of like Philly Robb, you know, like the same kind of vibe.

(10:11):
So j Mac being the artist heis, he got it in love with
the oh my God sign. Hemade it their home run sign and it's
remarkable. Now the minor league teamsBrooklyn has one. Uh, he's sending
up one to Bingingham right now.Bingington and a few other of our minor
league affiliates will have it. Sohe's just doing his thing. Man.
You saw him in the All StarGame. They had the signs, the

(10:33):
dancers at it everywhere. Yeah,Jay got a tattooed. Yeah, Yeah,
he's a really good dude. Hewas rocking a duck good in Jersey
and yeah, look another day,another story. But I get down with
folks like that, man, goodpeople across the boards, and that's all
that matters. But yeah, I'mso happy he's been rewarded and and for
that side of things, like I'mactually pulling for the Mets because of him.

(10:56):
Yeah, I agree, I alittle bit you but because I fuddy
because of him, I think likethey owe him a time. Yo.
He's had a one on one withSteve Cohen and there, yeah, he's
like, are you ready for this? Like you're gonna get a lot of
new business. And the players arebuying signs from him. You know,
We've we've got a sign on ourway, uh to our studio, Oh

(11:18):
my god. Signed. So yeah, it's just it's been a vibe.
I heard some possible collaborations that hehas coming up. Uh you know,

it, but I'd love to talkto him. YEA. Yeah, it's
