Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
You do a shot to do what.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Welcome to the divide with Mike and Corey too, diehard
baseball fans who don't agree on anything?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Which side will you choose? This is the divide.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Welcome to the divide with Mike and Corey.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Hopefully our disagreements one day bring us all together.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
So stupid, so so corny, and I hope our disagreements
bring us together.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I know.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
This is a divide, Divide Live, Fox, God, Corey, don't
eat the microphone, Fox Sports the Gambler one of two,
five phour one Trent.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
It's been a while. It feels weird Christ was president
Now I'm kidding.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Uh that has changed its.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Holy Nikes, So we're back. We we took some time off.
I guess we should address that right away. Life got crazy, guys.
Just that's it. There's no special story.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
You know, we're dodging sicknesses between remember.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
A revolving illness schedules with both you and I, which
are just being crazy in a good way, guys, in
a in a really good way. It's been like a
you know, just busy, busy times. And now now we
got it. We got it is We're not missing, We're
not missing anymore. It's it's gonna be great. It's gonna
I don't know about you guys. I guess it's still

(01:59):
the record store out there on that one. I mean, Jesus,
there's been a new president. There's some people have died,
probably since we were last on, more than likely, probably
a good percentage of the population.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
A ton of people have died.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
I might go on record by saying maybe more people
died than were born since we were last on. Are
fact check that for me?

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Would you? No?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
No, that's the most depressive thing. You can look up
the boats. I'll look up the dead so we can
split it. It'll be fine.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
The Yankees change the way a baseball bat is made.
Not true, it is true. Actually, they they debunked the fact.
They debunked the fact that the torpedo bat existed beforehand.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
That was blowney, that's not true. That is and used
it during the playoffs last year.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Fair, But it was still created by the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Oh yeah, whatever you care about that used it in
the playoffs other but other other teams have since used
it as well, and even last year.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yes, or knew somebody on the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
But it's not like here's my whole here was my
whole thing. Which why I hate the fact that we're
even still talking about it isn't who cares. I left
the long pause because I was gonna curse, but I
decided not to. Who like that will never cease to
amaze me. If if, like you're a Mets fan when
the Yankees shelled the Brewers, right, if if the Yankees

(03:20):
were playing the Mets and the Yankees hit ten out
of the park, that I can see like this big revolting.
But like Philly fans and Met fans and pretty much,
I guess everybody that hates the Yankees is just.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
No, I don't. I don't think that's true at all.
I just think I find it funny that one it
happened to be the team that one had a huge
problem with Houston, right, changing the rules or whatever. I
think it's funny that they kept it a secret and
internally as much as as as best as they could,
as best as they could to the point where Michael

(03:54):
ka was shocked, like Michael k presented in a way
that he didn't even know this was legal. I think
it's strange that they decided to roll this out at
the same time they got rid of facial hair, right,
which I haven't seen many guys still jump over that
that line. A few few I've seen a little bit,
but not much. But also I find it strange that,

(04:19):
for whatever reason, instead of like having one, to move
it so that the guy now is hitting the meat,
Like I get that, but like you didn't fix the hitter,
you fix the bat. So it's just it's for me.
It's strange. I get it. Lindor's using one. It was hilarious.
He had a donut on it, like the way to donut,
and it couldn't get it off and Pete had to
come over and muscle it off. You know, So I

(04:41):
get it. Lindor's using one. I get it. You know,
the Phillies ordered it. People are gonna try it out.
But the advantage Yankees an entire spring, an entire winter
to go play with that thing and figure it out.
And I get it. You created the concept of it.
It's just for me. It's strange. I don't think it's
something that's gonna last. I think there's gonna be a

(05:03):
lot of people that treated like the tush push or
like the grounded putters in golf. If it did become
an issue or it became a situation where, uh, pitchers
now can't saw off guys. Uh, they're gonna get rid
of it, like because everything happens to be and I
get it. It's an offensive mind all all you non
all you casual fans want to see home runs. You don't,

(05:26):
you know, appreciate a guy getting sought off at the handle.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
No, I love. I love a one to oh ball game. Okay,
truthfully speaking, if you're if you're talking like to me,
I I I love a pitching match. The rest of
baseball watchers right now don't. But it's it's I don't
want you throwing you said, Houston, don't throw it in
the same it's not cheating, Like it's not like Houston
called up MLB.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
I didn't say it's cheating. I said, you guys had
an obvious issue with the cheaters, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Like it was because they were cheating, Like this isn't
this isn't like they were stealing signs. You know, if
the Yankees were doing that and you had a problem
with it, I'd be like, yeah, absolutely, but they This
is if the Houston called Major League Baseball and was like, hey,
just so you know, we're using a trash can to
communicate pitches. Are you okay with that? And Major League
Baseball was like, yeah, see how it works. Whatever then

(06:21):
is what it is. But like that's literally this situation,
and I just equated to like, it's just it's like
custom clubs for golfers, you know what I mean, Like
Rory's hitting something different than Tiger. I don't think it'll
ever be outlawed. I the Major League Baseball's official response,
did you read this was or not? It wasn't Major
League Baseball. It was uh, Pete Alonso, it wasn't a

(06:44):
part of his response basically saying like, well, the pitching's
gotten a lot better, so you know, it's about time
we had something to really competition, Like I didn't. I
didn't understand that aspect of it, like his reason, like
he was he was being nice about it, but like
I don't care about the But like when he said that,
I'm like, well, you're like, especially Pete, you're a great
hitter without it, you know what I mean, Like, so

(07:06):
what why would you like come to that defense? That
part like confused me, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
He was also pro Spider Tech tech, so like he
wants really he was. He was, Yes, he said, ship
damn it. So now I'm just gonna crist I ever
feel like it. But in all seriousness, he yeah, he
was pro. He's like, dude, I get to put glue
on my hands essentially to keep this bat in my
you know, I can use pine tar, I could use

(07:34):
all this scientific stuff to hit the ball out of
the yard.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
And well he was pro for him, I thought he was.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
No, yes, no he was. So what he's saying is
they should have all the technology in the world accustomed
them to make them have to not use the substance
or not be able to use sweat and rosin he
felt was ridiculous. So he wanted both. He wanted their
best first, his best and best technology versus best technology.

(08:02):
So he had no issue with SpiderTech.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
I kind of hate. Yeah, yeah, you're honestly, now.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
No other band substance like he probably didn't, you know,
agree with but steroids.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
It doesn't look like I think right now we need
Pete Alonzo to go on the record and say that
he hats steroids. Otherwise we're just gonna assume it's wide open. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
But yeah, those pro both.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, that's so crazy to me, is like a hitter,
because I feel like the advantage for a pitcher to
have that stuff is way better than the advantage just
to heat the bat in your hands, you know what
I mean. Yeah, like that's that's that's wild to me.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
No, No, it's it's not because, like you know, a
lot of that stuff kept blisters off their hands. A
lot of this stuff kept you know, you're seeing a
lot more injuries from pictures now, and it's because they
have to worry about making hands are washed and yeah,
they can't get anything, and it's.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Just you know, seem lick their hands a million times
before they throw a pitch.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
It eventually needs to be a van and his picture
a little bit, just a little bit. And that's that's
my argument with the torpedo bat. We figured out a
way to make the Vulpies of the world actually sustain
in the Major League Baseball society. But like, we can't
let a picture do anything, and we got to keep
the mound pure. But the play can be manipulated in
every single fashion, and that includes the knob on the bottom,

(09:21):
that includes you know, Jeff McNeil had what looked like
a driver for the longest time. It had no knob,
looked like it just the way your golf club would
and he was comfortable with that. And I get it,
there's gonna be changes. I just always thought everybody would
know at once if a new design was created. So
it's just odd, you know. I do think if it

(09:41):
didn't happen with the Yankees, the Michael Kay's the world,
than everybody would be more of uproar than other people.
So I just thought it was funny that it came
from this certain place. I do think eventually, like there
there could be roles in place if if there was
a long issue with it, you know, But you know,
I don't, I don't, I don't. I don't think that's

(10:02):
gonna be it. I saw Lindor win a game using
it the other day, so I'm not mad at that.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Well, and I think it was the perfect storm of
just stupid stuff right like it happened, all right, the
albeit if these bats do, the real test would be
to give me one and if I can start hitting
and then then you would know. But like if if
these bats do really aid, and they do depending on
where you were, because every every single one of those
torpedo bats is tailored towards that player, so the sweet

(10:28):
spots always gonna be a little bit different for like
your Chisholms and your Vulpie and and you know whoever.
But I do think it was the perfect storm of
just the Yankees lighting up the brewing pitching you know, nester,
which was sad to see at the same time. Uh,
and then they're they're literally they're what felt like there

(10:49):
their entire bullpen for that one particular game. I think
if you know, bats went cold that following week too.
They couldn't hit anything. Yeah, well I was a fly swatter.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, you still got to put the bat on the ball.
I think also the other issue I had was that
your dimensions are so tiny, so a lot of some
of these home runs that were hit that day with
the torpedo bat, we're not out of anything.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
And honestly, and to the credit of everybody that says
that it's it's that's always Like even Joe Girardi for
some reason was commentating that whole weekend with Michael k
and Paul O'Neill, and they kept saying it for those
that were like line drives that were barely out, like
Austin Wells. He hit that leadoff home run. Ye dude,

(11:34):
that that was maybe a double at any other park maybe.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
And also they win that game like Ford two when
they were all out the torpedo bat. I'm not as mad, right,
It's just it was the.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Whole well that was Yeah, opening day was I think
for to two or six it was like only a
two run game. But then the very next day was the.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
But also like keep in mind, like George Brett with
the quirk bat or the pine tar, and then so
so with the cork bat like that he said he
accidentally would use for BP and it somehow got into.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
His Yeah, that's weird. I don't know how that happens.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
I'm gonna sneeze.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, when these guys start chase taking uh, when they
start chasing a home run record, then we'll then we'll
start looking.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
But no, no, I mean that was a home record.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
There were one away from I mean like individual.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Was insane, fantastic and I was on a plane too.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Well. And the guy that I will say, Judge, who
had three that day, does not use one of those,
of course, not like you know, he doesn't need it.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
God, yell, why can't they call him something different though,
then what I get it. He's now going to be
the captain of Team USA. Yeah, but he cannot be
Captain America to you. He he will never be my
not hashtag not my Captain America.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
But you don't have to you don't have to, you
don't have to yelling.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
You're gonna adjust your tattoo of Captain America to his head.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
I already did. That's why we haven't done a show.
I've been a little sore. You know, No, I don't.
It's media. He doesn't care. It's come on.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
No, I think it's the right guy to make the captain.
Like Mike Trout said, it was the right decision to
make Aaron Judge the captain a Team USA. I'm not
mad at the decision of it. It's just annoying, Like, yeah,
your problems.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
With the media, that's what it is. Just the US guys.
We hate each other, US guys, US guys. Let's step
away from baseball momentarily because I saw something on Twitter
today and I think I know your answer, but I
have to get a take. Hot dogs and mac and cheese.

(13:32):
Is that a normal meal? Would you consider that a
normal meal? No?

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Like actually, like when I want a hot dog, I
don't want mac and cheese. You see what I'm saying.
Like I see what.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
You're saying, but it's blowing my mind right now.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Why because I feel like like.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Hot dogs and macin like that's like peanut butter and jelly.
Like that's that that hot dogs and craft mac and cheese.
That was that meal when you didn't feel like cooking
or like her mom went out with her friends and
dad had to cook. Like you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
That's why I don't like it, like because it was
always that half assed meal.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Right, But do you consider that like if you were
to look at like just like a list of meals, chicken,
parm you know, like blah blah blah whatever it is,
like would you throw hot dog and mac and cheese?
Like would I be mad as shit if I rolled
up to like cheesecake factory and like his hot dog
beside with.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Mac and cheese.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
But I'm not talking like hot dog bun and then
a side of mac and cheese talking about I'm talking
maga cheese. Is that a normal meal?

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Did you grow up in a castle?

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Mic? What kind of what kind of fancy you a
great pond growing up, didn't you didn't have mustard? Look
at you, Bro.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Like, there's never a time where I would want that.
Like boiled hot dogs alone are awful, they.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Are, but like that's like I feel like me personally,
that's like my child in great I'm not I would
find my colon would blow up. But like that's like
to me, that was childhood, Like didn you like put
the ketchup in and you mix it all up together?
And yeah, right now you're thinking, as you know, an
almost morty year old man.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
A child, maybe no, but we did a lot of
breakfast for dinner. When we have that brinner, Yeah, God,
I love it, dude. I get so excited TOAs this
is like, yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
This will tell you everything you guys need to know
about where we've been the last couple of months, my
favorite meals have been brinner. Man, it's just so good.
I just forget I can do that as an adult, Like,
what do I want for dinner? About breakfast again? That
sounds great? You know what I mean? Like, that's what
brings me joy now I did so. I'm so sad they.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Had the overnight oats or whatever clean Bro had like them. Yeah,
so good. It was so good. I was rocking those
for an entire week.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
That's like just the hardest decision ever, man, Like what
do I make for dinner? I know everybody jokes about
that online and I know we're tail spinning here, but like, dude,
it's just like how many different ways can I do chicken?

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (16:07):
You know?

Speaker 1 (16:08):
And I only want a hot dog if I'm at
a baseball game, you know, a little league I just
have one at a concession stand or like burnt almost
burnt on a on a grill.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
I would say barbecue Memorial Day, fourth of July. I'll
create it because it's on the grill, or like you said,
a ballgame, yeah, any other situation. Get that hot dog
away from me.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah yeah, not a fan. I did some hot dogs
in sour kraut when I was trying to lose weight,
but I would not add mac and cheese.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Dude, sour kraut is really.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
I love it really, really good for everybody else. A
big fan of the crowd because you're German?

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Is that why? You know? A huge fan of all
the too? I love all the fantastic American German not American.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
No, no, no, it's in America, though, it is all right,
let's get back to it here. So much has happened,
you guys, I mean, God, for God's sake, do you
know March madness happened? Obviously, we joked about new president.
Hockey season came and is almost over. At this point,
playoffs are ramping up. Basketball playoffs are reading up. And

(17:18):
every time I go to check news on sports, I
gotta hear about this stupid trip to space. And then
it's like, yeah, like listen, I don't want to get
in trouble here, so I'll try to tread lately. Is
this going to be inspiring because it's an all female crew?
It happened, didn't it just happen like today or the like? Yes,

(17:39):
inspiring for little girls or little women that really like, yes, absolutely?
Could you maybe pick I don't know, one not millionaire
to go up on the trip, Maybe someone that did
the science, you know, maybe someone that contributed to building
the rocket instead of just a bunch of people with money.
And and I'm not again, I have a daughter at home.

(18:02):
I'm I think it's great, but like, come on, what
are you like?

Speaker 1 (18:07):
I'm not sexist because I have a daughter.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
No, like no, I want all those I want all
those opportunities for her. But like I was, I was
almost laughing because because Gail King uh called herself and
as kind of ranted and was like I'm an innovator.
I did this, Like you spent eleven minutes because you
have money, Like yeah, I don't see you taking the

(18:32):
alday cashier up with you. Like come on, who are
you inspiring? You're just inspiring people to get rich so
you can do these things Bezos' girlfriend, Like what are
you known for other than being as come on?

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Like did you see the door thing where like I
guess they wanted like a ceremonial like Bezos open up
the door, and the girls opened the door up themselves
and yeah, so they like closed the door and then
like he tried to unseal it and it wasn't sealed,
which is like pushed open. So it's like if you
told someone to close the door and it just slowly

(19:04):
like just reopened.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
So it's pretty funny. And like so then of course
conspiracy theorist like they never even win. It was all staged,
Like no, the door opening was stage because it was
a historic moment of putting the first all female crew
up there. But yeah, you're kind of cheapen, uh it
by adding celebrities. And like I said, Gail King is famous.

(19:28):
I mean she's talented, but she's famous.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Every single one of those just forgot so rich that
it bounced off.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
And her best friend was like, it's like, oh my.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
God, like like guys like you can you know sponsorship?

Speaker 1 (19:44):
She's got a contact high that happened to be millions
of dollars.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
So don't get me wrong, I'm just mad because no
one invited me to.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
I'm jealous. Yeah, of course so it is. And she
said that too. A lot of people are gonna be jealous.
A lot of people are Are you going to talk?
And she's like, but I'm gonna ask your and I'm
just like, okay, I went in space. You didn't. That's fair.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
You bring up a really good point.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
But also go ahead.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
If you're that rich.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
I'm not going. That's what I'm saying, thanks, you can
you finish?

Speaker 2 (20:15):
If I'm that goddamn rich, why do I have to
go into space? Like I'm like, listen, the same reason
I don't go skydiving. I know what's gonna happen to
a guy, like and.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Jeffrey Bezos put his girlfriend on there. Maybe I don't
know the underworkings of your relationship right now, but if
you're willing to put your girl on here, like I'm
gonna call time out.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Sign my wife up right now. Yeah, yeah, leaves them. No,
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Imagine he's just distant for like
the three months beforehand. They get into an argument two nights.
No I can't. Sorry, guys, No, it's just that's what
I'm like. Come on, so you're that rich, keep your
feet on the girl. What the private jets not enough for?

(21:00):
You need it your own private.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Spaceship and you're you're flying on the spirit version of
billionaire spacecrafts, you know what I mean? Like no offense
to Bezos, like freaking.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Men call them up.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Elon's landing the rockets, you know this thing like foul
and the girls are screaming like did you see that?
Like every time a parachute, like like they had no
idea what was gonna happen. And then they're like, you know,
all the extensive training, it was two days, two days,
like two days of training, and like, uh, could you.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Imagine if like thank god we're saying this and they're okay,
but could you imagine if something terrible happened, yeah, and.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
His girlfriend's on there, bro.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
All of them, Like, it would really be like for
what why did you? Like, that's the first thing got
why did you guys know? And they're like terrible, Like
why we.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Can't even get people safely on helicopters and you're going
out in space as it? Yeah this, I will not
be swimming, I will not be driving myself. I will
not be caught in the like I might not even
jump if once I get my money right, Like, I
would never do that, like I would like to.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
I am in. I am building a house that I
never have to leave. That's it, that's it. I don't care.
I'll put a roller coaster in the damn thing if
I have to. I'm never leaving, I agree. Like the
people that win the lottery and then they go on
like this elaborate vacation and the plane crashes like yeah, yeah, guys,
like Murphy's law here, dude, is something terrible is going
to happen? You know what? Something terrible is not gonna

(22:27):
happen anymore. What you're gonna attend a Commander's game in DC,
and you're not gonna get sewage leaking on you anymore.
They figured, no, they did one better. They agreed to
build a new stadium. Three billion dollars. Deal closed. They're
going back to d C, or I guess closer to

(22:48):
DC than when they currently are because actually not that
far from months. It's like a two hour thing. It's
a three billion dollar deal. Two point five billion are
being put up by the commanders, which is awesome. Half
a billion dollars is all I guess. I don't know
if it's the city or whatever I have to have
to contribute is insane, but you know, I all, let's see.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Just blows my mind how much money, uh it requires
to make those types of stadiums. But also like how
they're going to make that back up, you know, yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
I mean, and it's back. They're saying it's back in
d C. I'm currently trying to figure out where I
guess the r f tur RFK site.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, RFK stadium and moved to a new state of
the art stadium on the r f K site.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
And there's oh my god, and I always love the
concept art.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
It's always way cooler.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yeah, it's always like it's like a beach with like
a wave pool right outside that. This is still DC, dude,
it's football. Season's gonna be.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Called AI generated stadiums like based off of like so
like the mascot and stuff like that. Well, like, yeah,
the Astros were like on an asteroid, you know, like
in their it was their stadium, like, but the rendering
of city Field looked exactly like Cityfield. I was just
like they didn't change anything, Like the skyline looks a
little cooler, but outside of that, it's just like it's

(24:17):
the same.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
I got to the Mets and was like, you guys
got it.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
It's a masterpiece.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
So it's got to be better than fed X. If
only their name was better than the Commanders would be
even better.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Great for them, d C, not specifically, not the suburbs.
They said, I don't know what that means. That's cool,
I don't. I don't again, Oh who kids, It's going
to be filled with Eagles fans. It's going to be
filled with Giants fans, Jets fans. Commanders can't hold their own.
That's everybody else's stadium.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
There more seasons like they did last time.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Don't matter last year, don't don't don't matter who kids. No,
that's cool, man. I I like new stadium. I want
to get to the one, the Islander Stadium. But it's
just every time I'm like, I'm going to do it,
and I look how far it is sucks.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, like Montre exactly. It's you you're better off flying
the Vegas trying to get dry to the island where
they're like, it's so miserable. It's like a six hour trip, guys.
And we're in the New Jersey central area, close to Philly,
close and you're.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Like, we're like, kind of they get to Brooklyn and
that's where they were playing before.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Not even like not even Yeah, you're right, it's exactly, dude,
if you're going to catch an Islander game, it's just
you might have to spend a night. Yeah, oh real.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
And I've talked to like reporters and like people in
the sports world and then they're like, it's beautiful, man,
you got to make it out there, and it's just like,
I can't do it. I can't do it. You're being Florida.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Before the even even the take. I like taking the
train city Field because it's just it's scenic. It's nice.
It's kind of like relaxing. But even that's long.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah. I did it for the third game this year Sunday. Uh,
me and my buddy took the train it was gray
Man and hopped on the l I R. They've got
it down to a system to where you go back
and forward. Yeah, so like depending on the train coming in,
they'll take you up a step, up a spot, and
then that next train coming in they'll load and then
it'll it won't stop at Penn. So it's actually very

(26:28):
they got They've gotten it down to a science. We're
not waiting. Uh there was a long line to wait
and we're we all got on a train and we're
back in Pen ten minutes. Not even So it was
it was really cool to see the stadium looked great.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Uh, there was. It was.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
It was great to be amongst my people. But I
also went to a Phillies game too, so I'm one
for one on the on the on the year, one
Philly game, one Met game. They both won, so I
was happy with that. But I was there with the
four Walls, whiskey guys and and girls and the pretty
amazing and there was a bunch of Philly influencers Chef
and I got the invite. Thanks to Chef for taking

(27:06):
me on with him. But it was it was a
really cool experience, and like the whiskey was really good
and they're like, yeah, we get that response a lot,
and I was like, they're like, surprisingly good. But it's
because like normally when you have whiskey like it like stings.
This doesn't so shout outs to four Walls. We're gonna
be doing some cool stuff with them, uh and uh.

(27:27):
But yeah, like fit Dad CEOs in in there, the
Philly Sports Guy and I got to talk to him
and we have mutual friends within the tick pic industry
with the company, and so I'm talking to him. I'm like, yo, man,
Like the Mets kept showing you like more than the
Phillies do, like and Fox was showing you a lot too.
I was like, but then the Mets fans were like

(27:48):
sharing your stuff on socials because like that last game,
if you remember, we had the summon painting down the steps.
I remember, yeah, right, the first two batters get on, Daz,
it's the first two on and Philly Sports Guy goes
right to his Instagram. He's like, right, Octoba is still here.
And then they cut the clip to like two minutes later, whoop,

(28:10):
the season's over. Like, so I shared I shared that
with him. I was like, dude, it's like got a
billion views in the New York Mets thing. But there
was also another part where he's like in an uber
or waiting for his uber full face paint, and I
was like, dude, it's I felt for you because I
know him as a human sadest so you would think

(28:31):
like he's like, Mike, my life has gotten worse than that.
And I was like, what do you mean? And he's like,
do you know a Yankee stadium when they had that
the clear where you had you couldn't get in without
facial recognition. Do you remember those couple of years it.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Wasn't uh, it was clear, it was they had They
still do they have clear at the stadium, but you
don't need it, right, it's just to get you through quicker.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Right, It's like either wait two hours or do it
well something.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah, So they won.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
They wouldn't let him go in with He's like, first off,
regardless of what line you're in, you're not allowed to
go in face paint. So the Yankees wouldn't let him
in with face paint, which I thought was odd. So
he had to remove the face paint. They get in
through clear with the clear thing, and then like so
he came and made his face look red. So just

(29:25):
like every time the camera panna him and it looked
like he was having a massive heart attack and was
about to die. He was like, worst experience in my life.
I told myself, I'll just go home or not go
to a game if they make me take off the
face paint.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Dude, I don't And you know what, come to think
of it, I've never seen someone with their face painted
in Yankee Stadium.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah, it's like, I don't know the purest I.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Mean, and I'm not. I don't want to make fun
of the Philly sports guy.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
I don't, but there it's unique.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
So I just never go. I think it's weird when
grown men paint they're face for a ball game.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Okay, all right, he's been a business out of it.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Look, you guys got a nice thing going on and
he doesn't mind it.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
But you know it's what I like is so we pee.
We were walking back with him being Pete, and he
stopped for every kid. He took every picture he could
so I've talked to the parents, talk to whoever would
So he's a good dude. Like I always look at
probably got the hearder goal. I just would No, It's

(30:28):
funny because like they always like when you talk to
Philly fans, they're always like, you know, you guys got
a lot of like gimmicky stuff. And I was like
the Mets, and then I like, I look around this
room that have four walls, and you know, I think
about the Philly Captain. I think about you know, all
these guys, like every single one of them, and there's

(30:48):
gimmicks upon gimmicks upon gimmicks, and they're great and they're
good for their fan base. But to throw stones and
say the Mets have gimmicks like yeah, we had j Mac,
the oh my god, you know got the Cowboy bell Man,
we got like the seven.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Team that gets hot is gonna have, yeah gimmick. But
the Yankees have the roll call, you know, like that's
like they got that, Like why are we gonna nitpick
what everybody does in their states?

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Like I do think Philly's got the best influencer a bunch,
Like well, so the Yankees, if I ranked it, it's
John Boy it's uh, the the Bronx, you guy, the
Bleachers Creatures and uh that includes our guy. Uh that
does the T shirts right for the Bleacher Creatures. Yeah,

(31:35):
so like that's that's your top four, like in my mind, right,
and then the Mets have the seven line, which is
like a juggernaut. Right. Then they have Cowbo Bellman Man,
but that's weak. It's weak.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Pin Man is extremely.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Vintage, and and Jay Mack are coming up in that ecosystem,
and there's a couple other guys that are doing a
great job, but it's it's a week where's like Philly,
like I could rattle off.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Does you mean a man that wears a bunch of
pins is not a strong influencer and on a door
guy like the pins. It's twenty we talk about pins.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Yeah, what I don't like that we do. And I'm
glad they're not doing it currently, but I'm sure they'll
find something. But the nicknames like the fours that it's
just like when you nickname the players to God like substance.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Or it's gonna it's just gonna happen. I mean it's
saying that you saw it with the Cold Captain America
thing with David Wright even like.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
I mean that was Team USA that did that. The
medicine do that, tm USA did all right, so back off,
we just kept going. We kept it going. But all right,
I mean he Judge has to still perform.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
There we go. I'm sorry, guys, I did it. He
opened it up again.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Yeah, so David Wright was the truth during that whole
run for the World Baseball Classic. So Judge still needs
to how was he even doing? Like he's like the
size of a like he he's very he likes the golf.
He looks very happy. He can swing it up right, yes, yeah, which.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
Is how do you like really, but you can't swing
a back.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
I mean, look like Todd's in great shape. But the game,
the play MLB Baseball is a little bit harder. One
hundred and sixty two games and it's went on. Dude,
an eighty year old man could swing a club. It
does means he's swinging it at the like Bryson d. Chambeau. Like,
you know, he's not on the spectrum of Michael Jordan,
and that's gambling with people. But you know, for for

(33:37):
he looks very, very tiny, very his like skin is
very sunken. But he's happy with life, so good for him,
and he's our captain.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Was well, he was your captain. The captain, dude, I
mean I don't think he's still your captain, but you.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Know, judge your captain. Yes, like he's the captain in
the ankle. He was named the captain and now he's
the captain the team he was. It's two for right,
that's the lame.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
That's two two in one season. Can you imagine being
named captain twice? No man to represent all of baseball
for the United States of America.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Did you watch any of the Masters.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
I watched a little bit on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Okay, oh god, I was so I was so amped up.
I was so amped up.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
It was so great. I watched Thursday and Friday, which
was just kind of like whatever, and I was at
work all day Saturday and see that. But the little
bit that I did get to watch, boy, that was
the most exciting thing.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Yeah, I mean, the most underrated part is his his
worries Friday, right, because like he had to come back
from the from the bottom of the pile to come
back and it like you know, we're just talking eagle eagle,
like there was everything was going his way like the
day Friday, Friday was sick.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
Hit the ball and then just like hands club and walk,
he was just he was dialed in. Yeah, yeahantastic.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
And then on Saturday what what was motivation for me
was it was a great round by him obviously ends
up on top of the leaderboard, but the one he
shanked like went into the crowd, and I was just like,
so Pete and I looked at each other. We're broadcasting
from Pj's, and I was just like one of us?

Speaker 2 (35:18):
What us?

Speaker 1 (35:19):
But like I was just thinking like how many of
the crowd people might just kick it closer and stuff
like that, so like like how many lucky bounces they get?
But you know, and then Sunday was just it was dramatic,
like you know, he comes out, it looks like he's
never called before, and I was like, oh, here we go.
And then he just gets style back in. But then

(35:39):
like him and Bryson like they switched places like it
was crazy. And the next thing, you know, Bryson can't
find anything, Like you know, he's finding water, that's about it,
you know. But Rory those first three holes, like he
found sand, and I was just like, man, this guy
can't stay out of a bunker and you know, so
it was it was really really cool him Nance he

(36:01):
he had allergies or he was sick, like everybody this
time of year when they're sick. Though it's just allergies.
The next thing, you know, I'm on antibiotics. Well you
don't need antibiotics palergy, but I digress. Uh so he
I feel as though I'm glad Rory didn't win it
the first time when he missed the putt and then
went to sudden death, because Nance's announcement of that was

(36:24):
pretty weak.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
It was awful.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
It was like he was fumbling. And then the second
time he got a chance to do it, he did
it amazingly.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
What you're saying, you think he did it on purpose? Yeah,
it was just a dance another chance. You know what,
there's your conspiracy. We did go to space, but Rory
missed that. But that's uh.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
It sucks for Rose too, because he played his ass
off like it was a great sudden death. He had
to stay warm the whole time, had the best Sunday
as than anybody else, and still didn't win.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Man. Yeah, imagine playing the best golf you've ever played
out Augusta.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
But yeah, what blows my mind is like it's just weird.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
I hate the game so much. I love it, but
I hate it.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
What blows my mind about the whole situation too, is like,
so he's forty four, but he looks like he's sixty
two in my brain a rose not not not rory
like and it's just like I wonder why that is. Yeah,
I don't know. He's just an old looking guy. He's very,
very dude. The camera kept showing him telling people to

(37:32):
be quiet. He got to Holy eighteen for the sudden death. Yeah, yeah,
he's just an old old, old old spirit. But like
he made them like so first off he's English. Yeah
he made them like redo the whole like tea box
like before sudden it's like you gotta come clean this up,

(37:54):
and like it's caddy like looks at the crowd like
please don't talk, like kill me, like like does he
beat you?

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Like it?

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Just like he begs everybody before this guy takes it,
takes the club out of it, like everybody just be
extra quiet, Like seriously, he's got a knife on him.
He will stab me. So like it was just like
it was just two different things and uh, you know,
it's fun to watch. My daughter was hooked. You know,
we ordered some sandwiches stuff like that. I was I
was telling her about everything Matt was doing. I was

(38:25):
reaching out to Matt your brother, because like I wanted
to know if he had too manymental cheese sandwiches. And
it's just crazy. Did you see the menu? Have you
seen it?

Speaker 2 (38:34):
I was extremely jealous he was to get analyst. He
was only there for Thursday Fridays.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Never who cares. And it also celebrated you're not allowed
to bring your cell phone in.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
You can't.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Yeah, so how cool is that?

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Not hself? That's why it's like the picture went viral
of like not a cell phone in sight? Yeah, because
you're allowed to have it, right, Like that's which is fantastic.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
I mean yeah, comedians do that stuff too.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, they lock it up and all that. Like we
actually to see we want to see Daniel Tosh a
couple of weeks ago, he didn't. He was one of
the ones that he just cool. He was like, hey,
please Overcord. I think it is a little you know,
wettle Mutch. Yeah, but I guess like if they have
like a Netflix special, they don't want getting out before
they get paid or whatever. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
I guess I don't know. Everything goes viral on the
internet and then you can't monetize it, so I get
that side. But yeah, dude, it was cool and my
daughter was hooked. We watched the entire Sunday together, so uh,
you know. But the one thing that was killing me
was like Jen kept asking a lot of questions and

(39:40):
then also like saying Rory's name wrong, his last name McClory,
and like, yeah, it was like McClory. And then she's
gonna argue with me that his name should be pronounced differently,
and I was just like, bro, can can you stop
and just watch? Like call him Rory, you know? And
then she's like it's on purpose.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
Rebecca and Jenny talk to each other and they're like, hey,
how are you gonna annoy him today? It's like, I'm
gonna ask what the masters is and if that, if
that course is somewhere near here, that's what you did.
She's like, where is that?

Speaker 1 (40:11):
I said a double eagle, not at all, albatross or whatever.
I was like, dude, just just shut your mouth, just
shut your.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
One day, well, one day where you don't talk. You
just sit. You cheer when I cheer? How about that?

Speaker 1 (40:25):
And I was doing stuff too. I was doing laundry
while watching The Masters. I did a tremendous amount.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Of loads he does, and a tremendous amount.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
A tremendous amount of loads, and uh so I was
just like, dude, really, like I get it, Like why
don't you write all your questions down? I'll answer them
when I get to them, Like it's like one of
those meetings or they're like, please, if you have answer questions,
like hold them for the end, and then they like
quickly sign off before you're allowed to even ASKU.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
She's used to it from her job. You got to
do a press conference, man, You got to give her
a fake press pass. Then you call on her and
it's between her and your daughter, and you just go
back and forth and answer that dumb quite. You pick
a time slot. I'm free for five minutes to answer
all your dumb questions, and then after that you take
their press pass away and they can't answer anything. And
I'm tried to do it reverse.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
She was watching what's that show that everybody's watching right now?
That's pretty big love on the spectrum no, but that's yeah,
I have seen that too, the one that just had
it season finale.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Oh White Lotus. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
So, like I started, I came into the room and
I started. I was like, who's that? Who's this person?
She's just gladly telling me?

Speaker 2 (41:36):
I was like watching the show. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
So I was like, I can't even get her back
in this atmosphere because it doesn't bother. She's like, oh,
gladly tell you and then she like pauses, like tells you, well,
this guy.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
I was like, all right, she finally thinks you take
an interest in what she's watching and you're just trying
to get her back. Oh my god, he cares. Well,
I'm glad here, sit down, sit down, I'm glad. Let
me tell you. You're just like this is a warning.
I'm gonna go do some more loads of laundry.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
But yeah, that's been my life. Yeah dude, no, this
has been fun. Man. I want to share something because
we're gonna do a lot of golf this year. I
am going to Disney next week. We're supposed to end
out a good but I'm going to Magnolia. I'm golfing Magnolia,
which I'm excited and they have Grumpies Gauntlet and it's

(42:27):
four holes that are extremely difficult and they actually the
one hole reminds me of the one that we did
with Brooks Bookstad that.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Like Gamblers, is a dog leg right, it's about one
fifty and then it's a ninety degree turn.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
No, I'm sorry, No, it wasn't gamblers cruise cruise farm
right in farming. Then yeah, yeah, it's ninety.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
It's it's literally a ninety degree dog leg right and
it's like about one hundred and ten. You have to
put it from the tea box and then it's one
hundred and fifty to the hole. From there, it's wild.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
So where the trees were, imagine if that was water,
and that's the Grumpies Revenge. And if you're playing from
the blacks, you have to shoot over the water like
just to get so probably playing from the white teas,
but if you're playing from the back teas the black teas,
it's likely that you would have to shoot over the
first body of water, land it and then shoot over

(43:23):
another body of water. But it's a ninety degree oh
my god. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. So it's called Grumpies
Gauntlet from the Seven do words.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
Where is that in relation to like everything else in Disney.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
It's on Disney property, so like it. Yeah, it's a
Disney golf resort. So everybody says, hey, yeah, Disney's good
at what they do. So I'm really curious to see it.
So Golfer and my buddy Ed and Timmy will be there.
It's his wife's fortieth. And that's where she wanted to go.
It's Disney. I knew you would hate that.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
Wow, so many people are gonna hate me this. Do
people have to go there on their fortieth? They're like,
come on, you're a forty year old anything, man, woman, whatever,
Go to Palm Springs, like go go down to Daytona
or something like.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
Oh, I will share. I enjoy walking around a theme park.
I don't enjoy having an agenda at a theme park, like.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
We are going with different people, right, No exactly.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
So that that's the problem I have, is like the
agenda part, like they're gonna book so much shit that
it's not gonna be It's.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
From what I hear is you need to though, like
that's fair, fair way for her sister's fortieth. And she said,
like people in Disney now are zombies because they check
into these rides now using your phone. Apparently you do that,
and then they're so panic to get on the phone
again to check into another ride. It's like, dude, I
don't know if she was describing it. I hated it.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
When I was down there with Timmy on our own.
We got onto the New Ride and the the what
is it Chris Pratt's ride, the Guardians of the Guardians,
and then we also got into the Spaceship restaurant, which
like all were like out booked for like one hundred
days before we arrived, and we did it that same day.

(45:13):
We reserved both of them, and we're like, break the matrix, me, dude,
we got so lucky. Wasn't even funny, Like it was
just like it was dumb luck. But then we're like,
you guys always stress out about this. You wake up
at seven am, you do all this stuff, you like
ninety days out before your vent idiots upon it literally
walked on both like like within minutes of each other too,

(45:35):
Like we went on Guardians and then I looked at
my phone. I was like, hey, you want to go
wouldn't it be cool if we like ate on the
New restaurant up in space. He's like, yeah, but we
can't do that. I was like, I just booked it,
and he was like, are you kidding me? And it
took two minutes. Like each of them a right laugh.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
Harder if you walked into the Space restaurant in space
and you saw Gail King and Katie Perry, we're astronauts.
Oh man, all right, everybody, We'll be back next week
for sure if I live Fox Sports The Gambler take
care

Speaker 1 (46:08):
See you in six months.
