It's funny to me because yeah, it's so good man.
Congrats on your twins Pete, Oh, thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Twins.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, I have three children now under the age of
two years old, so I'm exhausted.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Life is good. Life is good.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
What was your initial reaction when you learned you were
gonna have twins?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
It's it's not appropriate for on air. Okay, it doesn't
run in the family though, right it does. My mother's
a twin. Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. It's just very hard.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Right now skips a year, so like curses you, but
it won't curse your kids. Correct, It's kind of weird. Yeah,
well look, man, Mets Phillies. Who would have thought we'd
have meaningful baseball in September?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Not you guys, No, you guys, we pretty much know
it from day one.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
That was that was that was brutal. I mean, honestly,
honestly the best policy.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It really is.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Best team in baseball since the All Star Break, the
New York Mets. I like to point that fact out. Yeah,
you know, the biggest vibe since the All Star Break,
the New York Mets. Whether you want to talk Grimace,
Oh my god, shout outs to j Mack. I brought
my son with me. Boys. Yeah, you're you.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I heard you're afraid to bring it in though, I'm
going to bring it in. Got that thing on you,
I got that thing on me.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Where's that sign? Where is it?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I didn't want to. I didn't want to steal his thunder.
H He's doing some amazing stuff, uh for the next
seven games, and like, honestly, I didn't want to steal
his thunder, so I didn't want to put it on
the broadcast. I won't bring it in with me. I
posted it. It is in the car that so hopefully
none of you Philly fans see it, and I'm break
into my car and take it.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
What do you think about all like the gimmicky stuff
that that the Mets do, Because some of it, I mean,
as if you were a fan of the Mets, some's
got to be kind of like fun to rally around,
right as outsiders think it's like loser stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, but like what the fans do, like the tradition
to the songs they came up, Oh my god, they
do grim mice, they.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Do these little rallies Johnny Diesel, Yeah, to get around.
Is the guy with the silk jacked? He was like
Pete Alonzo, the guy with the silk he had. Uh
oh yeah, the pentic guy. Okay, yeah, patch Patchman.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
There you go. Yeah, you guys got a bunch of
mask on us. Yeah, we got the pin Man, patch
Man Phil. You know, we the cowbell Man. Yeah, we're
a gimmicky thing, a four dark night Like, everything's like cool,
do you get We get one ace and we're thinking
we're going to the World Series. It's awesome. But I
will also point out that the Mets have just the
same amount of World Series as the Phills, you know.
(03:22):
So yeah, I remember ours though, I mean ours are
the most memorable. The Miracle Mets. Nineteen sixty nine, we
landed on the moon and the Mets won the World Series.
Grate you for that one. I was I was somewhere.
I was here, I was probably here. I believe in
reincarnation slash. Okay, just so you know, so I was
here nineteen eighty six. My first memory New York Mets
winning the World Series. Thank you, Bill Buckner. Rip. But yeah, dude,
(03:45):
everything we do is gimmicky. I'm not gonna lie to you.
It's hilarious. But this one's working. This one's working. For
a change. Only eighteen games left we're the.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Postseason right now. Yeah, I mean this has got to
be the most exciting You've been all season. Just starting
the beginning of season April, you had no Oh, I
was over.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
We had a dance crew. We had a dance crew.
That's all we had. We had the Queen's dance crew.
That's the only thing we had to rely on when
the season started. Those first two months horrifying. It was
so hard to be a me fan.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I thought your season was over when you had the
hook to a girl in there.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Oh my god. That that was a rough week. That
was a rough week. I'm not gonna lie you know
that that was a misstep, somebody from marketing or PR.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
A little bump in the rope. And then you got
back on track, you said, went in some games. I
know you're back in the playoff phrase.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It's pretty exciting, man, it's pretty exciting. I did want
to share something about the Phillies. Philly Fanatic was rated
the best mascot ever, deservedly. Yea ever. And here's my
argument with you both. If the Mets gave missus Met
the helm and made her the go to mascot, she
would take over that there's a chance there she got
(04:52):
some cake. Yeah, we got all one, O, four or
five here, damn and Jesse man, it's been so cool.
I was in London. Jesse had Kyle on her show
and they called me from London Square. I was hitting
baseballs into the freaking city. It was nuts. It was yeah,
probably a little dribbler down right.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah. I was gonna say, hitting yeah, baseballs into the
city is a wild common Yeah, it was great. It
was great.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I call one hundred feet top. Ah, man, that's that's rough.
But I was like a post roll in in my
sales role that would be under promise over delivered. So
I promised you I would over deliver. I have a
lot of baseball friends.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So yeah, so listen, dude, we were in London. We
had this conversation and we're like, hey, we got to
bring this back. And I saw Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
On the calendar.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
At that time, I did not think the Mets would
be remotely where they were. You know, we barely scraped
by in London. We're lucky that the Phillies did not
sweep that series. And now we're sitting here and you know,
seven games out of first place, which is unbelievable, but
in a wild card spot and you know it's it's
just been fun. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I mean you guys, like I said, you had no
intention to be in here, and this is exciting for
for everybody. I think, right and meaningful baseball. I think
that's all you can ask for. Beautiful September night and
there's meaningful baseball.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Well, and also you know the Phillies when it comes
to the division, it's wrapped up, right, we can we
can all agree on that.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
No, dude, I would say it's like a verbal agreement.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, a verbal agreement.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, there's no signatures, yeah dude. Yeah, the Mets have
to have a shot to do the funniest thing that
they've ever done in their lives and kind of right
the wrong that happened in two thousand and seven and nine,
two thousand and eight. They or they'll play the hits
and do what they do every year. And yeah, yeah, bro,
(06:49):
this has been weird, man, Like they they literally don't
outside of a home run sign lindor just being an
endorsement for m VP. That's who I got smart.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
So I was talking about earlier guy taking advantage of
of a spot where he gets an opportunity like that
talk about Mark Viento's yeah, in the.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Back and forth with Pete Alonso too, like, uh but yeah, Mark,
Mark's been unreal like so like third base was the
biggest question mark with the Mets absolutely. Uh, you know,
Brett Batty, he's doing his thing in the minor leagues,
but obviously, uh, you know, Mark has made that his
home and it's just been absolutely insane. Uh to just
watch the stats like it's it's good because like ever
(07:29):
ever since d Wright, like we haven't had anybody in
that corner that you could really say wow, like, you know,
except for Todd Fraser, that was a great couple of years.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Sorry Todd Freudian slip up there, but.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, dude, yeah, I kind of messed up there. That's
my one guy. And I was like, we're but right
was there technically right when Todd was like, I feel
like it would know better than yeah, so right was
just injured.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
So well, let me ask you something as as an
outsider of the New York Mets. If you guys make
the post, and what do you think your biggest concern
will be? Is it just playing better teams? Do you
have glaring deficiencies that you have to that are gonna
you know, come to light, come playoff season.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, I don't want that SmackDown the reality, right, Like,
so I don't want it to be like, oh, new season,
and we got to find ourselves again, because if we
start the postseason the way we started the regular season,
we're gonna be in. We're gonna be out quick.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
What I will say is like, we're also playing with
house money, how much fun? Like now you're stressed about
the Phillies, right.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
That's why I was gonna get to the twenty two Phillies.
This is right where they were, exactly right where the
Mets are right. So also like I saw.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
The in twenty twenty two, I saw the path for
the Phillies and it was a way more enjoyable path
than the Mets even had, right and they won, Well,
there were one more games they should have had the
easier path. It wasn't you guys had what was the
first team?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
You played the Cardinals?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
The Cardinals and then you went to the Braves. Yeah,
and the Braves are you know, stale and now the
Braves and we just talked about this off the air,
but Pete and I were talking about it the Braves
this spring training, was like, hey, maybe we won't win
the division because wild card is better because you get
the play more. And we're like, that's the dumbest thing
you could ever do. You can never like and now
(09:18):
like maybe if they lost one or two games, they're
they're wishing they didn't do that.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Now.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I was arguing with you about that earlier, saying that
the wildcard teams the number one teams if you look
at him historically over the last two seasons, Dodgers, Braves
two years ago, the Padres. You get that first round
by you're sitting for five days, almost the same as
an All Star break. Then you come back and everybody's cold.
So I'm fine with wildcard. If I'm playing my best
ball in October, I'm playing every day. I don't want
to sit for five days, Okay, So for me, I
(09:44):
don't care, dude, if you're playing, I want to play
every day.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
We'll play every day if we're playing good ball.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
The only thing that scares me, and we'll get the
slashest point in a second, is it's only three games, right,
Anybody can win a series, right, So you know that
scares me five games. You got to really bring your
a game to beat me seven game series, got to
bring your a game to beat me three games. Anything
could happen. You saw that with the Padres and the Mets.
We had the grom we had Ureser, you know, and
(10:11):
and house Money on the third we were talking about,
all right, we'll do Max and if we win that
first game, then we'll you know, we'll go uh to
our fourth or fifth starter, because then they would line
us up for the next series.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah, you know, Well, the thing that makes me confident
is the Phillies dealing with the injuries that they already
have and still overcoming those. So that's a big thing
in baseball, right. Oh, your your starter goes down, your
third basement goes down. You got these guys stepping up,
and Phillies are still overcoming those obstacles, continuing to win.
With guys sitting out, people are stepping up. Buddy Kennedy
is playing third base. Identity Bay such a bad playing
(10:44):
third base tonight. So you got these guys coming up,
taking advantage of their opportunities.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
And that's that gives you confidence as a fan.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You're just like, dude, these are these are dudes that
are ready to play, So that makes me feel good.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I think that all gets thrown out in the watch.
They'll come playoff season. I mean it's good now, but
when it comes to the spot, like you gotta have
your best players healthy. Sure, you can't rely on these.
Buddy Kennedy's right, but we're.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Not losing games in the division exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Exactly, but that that just plays right into my point
where I call me old fashion now, but I would
rather have less games to get to the World Series.
So I do care if you have to play in
the wild card round. You know, being that we've been
in at the last two seasons, you know, you can
see how these can go. Yeah, I mean, the Cardinals
(11:27):
had that Game one wrapped up and then next thing
you know, you know, a flick of the wrist and
from Gene Sigora means and the whole series turns. I mean,
we're just lucky that it was in our favorite at
that point and then you gain momentum off of that.
But a three game series is way too short to
determine who is the best team. We were, you know,
(11:47):
in the best situation of that heading in especially in
twenty two because we you know, we're playing with house money. Now,
we're in a situation where we've been in first place
most of the year. I don't want to be caught
in a situation where we would be playing in a
wild card, which you know, the odds are completely against
that right now. But it goes to my point where, yeah,
(12:07):
I want to play the least amount of games and
I want to have the easiest pay at the World Series,
no matter how hot or how cold you are, and
home field advantage.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yeah, obviously, no, obviously, the expanded playoffs has changed everything,
even the trade deadline. Like it's crazy, right, the Mets
should have been sellers in the old structure. Now they're
you know, they weren't buyers, but they they made moves,
and I'm really proud of them, you know. Yeah. I
Galazia's like he's been insane, whether it be singing, getting
(12:36):
the team going. There was any know, there was an
off day, right, So the Oh my God song one
of the hottest Latin songs right now, I would say,
right fair by us. Yeah, no major League Baseball player.
So listen the team's vibe in they're at like a
charity event. They start singing this song. Next thing, you know,
(12:57):
the sign is made by j Mac Customs and they're
off for the races. They had a live concert after
the game with my man. It's just been it's been
absolutely insane, and it's just like like you said, we
get into this every single year. This is the deepest
that's ever gone because Donnie Diesel was gone before August.
You know, the Mets typically implode, and it's it's the opposite.
(13:21):
They got off to a rough start, they found themselves
as a team. This is stuff that that movies are
made of. Then I know I'm getting ahead of myself,
but that's what Met fans do.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, well, you gotta be excited to for your ownership
as a fan of a baseball team. When you have
an owner that is a baseball fan, an owner that's
trying to win games, that's an easy team to be
a fan of because they're gonna spend money, they're gonna
do make smart moves. They're not treating this like a
business and just trying to get as much overhead and
profit as possible.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
So with uh which is Steve Cohen, Yeah, he's Uncle
Stevie dude. Like he's spending money.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
So you gotta be excited for that for the next
you know, however long he owns a team, it's a
good vibe.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
It's also Alex Cohen. She's like kind of created the culture,
uh in in the fan base and also on the team,
like it's a family. It's it's it's a whole different
experience where the will Ponds was kind of like, uh,
you know, working for Apple or Steve Jobs where they
just thought there were above people.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yeah, charging you extra for chargers and headphones. You have
to throw them in the box right for real?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Uh so inflation man, Yeah, and and look like so
we're very fortunate to have the Cohens. For sure, they're
gonna build this area is amazing. Infinity lives all three
stadiums here. When you go to Queens right now, there's
a chop shop that's it. Yeah you know if the
opens there, Yeah, you get to see some cool tennis.
But outside of that, the World's Fair is gone and dead.
(14:44):
It is. It's so sad to go around there. And
the Cohens are gonna change that. Plans for you, plans
in the rain, Yeah, to have the New York team
football club team there everything a casino like obviously everything
uh Philadelphia has hopefully we'll be in Queen's.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Saint Louis has that Chicago has that they build an
experience around the stadium because then it becomes a part
of a uh tourist attraction. And as well, you're bringing
these people in coming to the game, so again spending
money getting people.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
To uh you guys, are you guys are moving that direction?
Meanwhile the Sixers are trying to move over across the river,
so and not excited about that.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
It's crazy man, and and the Devil's ownership being the same,
like they already know how to navigate New York New
Jersey government, like you guys finally losing Sixers.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
That's hilarious. I have mentally lost the Sixers, uh, you know,
three years ago. So I don't even want to get
started on that.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
So we got to bring in our star, uh jam
and Jesse. Jesse, if you you're available for a few minutes. Uh,
I love to.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Have you step away from your fans.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
First, we got another mic and we got another headphone.
Come behind you guys. Yeah, they're just tagging the Philly Captain.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Just tag no biggie cheer we are. Yeah, that was
a great interview.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
You had. It's such a Gilbert Goffrey like, you know,
and I'm gonna put it is. Yeah, I'm gonna take
so many shots at him if we're going to talk
Philly Captain, because he took a few shots at me
the last couple of days. Yeah, I did that. I
did that thing for an appliance company that is not
sponsoring this, So shout outs to Gearharts. Actually you need
your appliances. Go to Gearharts dot com, family owned company.
(16:22):
They're pretty amazing. But I did something for another company.
And he loves to tell me that I'm not crazy, Eddie,
and I'm like, yeah, I'm not crazy, Eddie. I'm not
in jail. It's like if Gilbert Goffrey were also not
on drugs. Oh dude, it's crazy. That's exactly what his
voice sounds like. It should be like Philly Goffrey or
something that should be his real name.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
All right, So do you guys think that well, I
guess they get handies out in the dugout. Do you
think that bubble jug should make like one with like
nicotine in it for the players?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yo?
Speaker 1 (16:49):
So good idea? Right, I can't share this with you,
but I kind of candy is going to do some
of the in the in the situation in the gum
in industry, and let's say it's not nicotine, it would
be something else, kind of mellows you out. I've said
too much. I've said too much. Water would be a
(17:12):
good No.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Water that's gonna have a flavor to it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Maybe not.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
I mean they could, they could cover up flavors my childhood.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
The one thing they do. Yeah, and it's kind of
great because shout outs the big League too, you know
that's they've been on the show. Uh, they're awesome people.
But thank god all those horror pictures when we were
kids of like people chewing because I never put nicotine
in my mouth because I was afraid a beautiful face
(17:41):
would be Really you.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Know who has a huge wad every time he goes
up to.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
That Sean brace? Oh zoo.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yo rare.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Whatever I can on those, is it like PC?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah, well I don't go on LIKECE gives me like
the seven A m p S a moment. It's like
Lorraine has all the other stations and I'm on the Gambler. Literally,
but yeah, you could say it, you could say it.
But also there's.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Looks like he's like head of the Philly and Nitros mafia.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Like every time I'm like, I know him. Yeah, he's
not a lot.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Of other problems though, I know him. Yeah, I got
your fellow dippers.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yo. Remember when Philly had that issue where everybody was
giving those balloons outside? Yeah? Yeah, problem. But as a kid,
like how many kids did you hear?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
All the adults have one?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah it's not helium, but I'll tell you that that
was out of pocket.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Man.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
We have grown and matured as Philadelphians.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
We have We just can't have dollar dog night. No,
apparently not. So we've grown in some places, but have
regressed another.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Speaking of Philly Captain, we found out yesterday that Kyle
Swarber does, in fact put ketchup on his hot dog.
What are your feelings on that?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
The first twenty five years of my life like ketchup
on a hot dog? I have grown into a man
and have accepted the fact that you need to have
ketchup and mustard on a hot dog. Yes, and the
mixture is just unbelievable, just like you do. But you
do both with a burger, correct, Yeah, Maise go hand
in hands.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
You should not be so worried about what other man
is putting on their meat.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Their meat missile, right.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Thing to put whatever you want on it?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Talking about barbecue, right, yeah, okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Uh, I'm from Brooklyn. Nathan's it's mustard or bust so.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Great. I like everything.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Run it through the garden, I run it through.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I'll rock all the other toppings. I just won't put
ketchup on it, but I will share.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
When you put a little ketchup on bread, it actually
tastes amazing, like like a Hamburger bondos. Like ketchup on
bread is pretty good.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
I'll eat it.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I'm from Brooklyn. I'll eat a ketchup sandwich. Times are
tough sometimes, all right.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Potato rolls with potato chips smashed into the role in
mayonnaise in front of a ship sandwich, yep, what is
I love fat stuff?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I make sometimes I make like a poor man's pizza,
so like cheddar cheese and like maybe a slami or
pepperoni like lefto. Yeah, like on a slice of white
bread or potato bread. That's so fun. Do that poor
man's pizza. I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I'd rather spend the six dollars on like the pre
made peacha. Yeah, you could do that your top dog
now and or no, our job. I'm not you are,
I'm not. I I can put out the six dollars,
though I hate the brag. I can't put up the
six dollars for a for a full pizza's a family
of four.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
As I'm on here, my daughter asked if she could
purchase something on an app, So I dollars elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I'm gonna eating pepperoni bread for a week if you purchased.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
But what's the weirdest thing you've ever like? Concot?
Speaker 4 (20:55):
I mean, the mayo sandwiches were a thing when I
was younger, and then the potato.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Did you ever do that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah, it's just really good.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Peanut butter and bread and chili. I did that in
college a lot. Yeah, really sounds weird. But you take
a piece of bread, put peanut butter around it, and
you put it in your chili.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
This sounds weird, but it was a college thing. I
don't know, I haven't done it since, but.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
It was just like, hey, this tastes good.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
It's just sweet. If you're walking by and you're not
gonna come into Exfinity. We have every reason you should
thank you to the Cruise and App. We're giving away
a signed Trey Turner Jersey. Shout outs to one oh
four or five for promoting it all week, Jam and Jesse,
Stacey's here, Ties here, everybody's here just promoting this stuff.
(21:39):
We're giving out Weezer tickets every thirty minutes on the
air right now, courtesy of Iconic Candy, Clear Rum and
the Cruising App. And if you don't know what the
Cruise and App is, it's c r u z e
N And it's a peer to peer service. So if
you have a flat tire, you have dead battery, you're
(21:59):
on the road, and it's everybody it's been there. When
you're on the side of the road, the first thing
you want to do is get off the side of
the road. It's scary, especially in.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Philadelphia as a whole.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Right now, Yeah, so this matches you peer to peer
almost like an uber with a mechanic. They have over
eighty certified mechanics in Philadelphia that will come and service you,
so you'll know exactly when they leave the shop where
they are, just like your pizza or anything else you
deliver via app. You will know where your mechanic is.
Triple A way better, way better than Triple app.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
You can actually track them because you know they love
to tell you yeah, we'll be there in forty minutes,
but you're still on the way to two.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Hours on the side of exit.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Why do I pay for? And the crazy part is
people are like, don't God for Triple A, Like, you know, no,
thank God for the cruising app changing it. Pretty soon
you'll be able to use it to get details, uh
other other card things. Uh, so inspections, they're they're really
going to take this to storm. We're lucky that it's
a Philly owned company and we get it first. That's
(22:58):
so cool. But to look for them naturally. Wow.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
So I might just hit a speed bump going fifty
just to try it today.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I might just.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
You'll be good.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
So, Jesse, I did something and I'm embarrassed. I know
Philly Captain mentioned it to you. But Luke Arkaney from
Crossing broad uh from Fox Sports The Gambler, Yeah, shout
out to look. Yeah, Luke and I last night were
at Yards with Kyle Schwarber. I was feeling it. Mets
are doing well. He came up to me He's like, Yo,
(23:31):
we got to put a way drop this. He's like,
what do you want? I was like, I was like money,
and he's like, I was like, I don't really want
to take some Moody. He's a kid, right, I don't
want to take some kids freaking money. So yeah, Jansen
goes yo hair hair on hair match and I was like,
but I'm bald, and he goes, no, you're beard. So
it's my beard versus Luke Rkaney's mustache that makes him
(23:53):
look like that country singer everybody likes. They did Morgan
Toby's dead. Yo. I killed Wendy Williams today. I thought
I forgot She's just sick. I thought you passed well.
Kyle literally thought that Usher was dead.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
He he went, you know, the the late great Usher.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I was dead his career almost that night inside joke.
You had to be there. Stop. He brought it back
during the died Yoh it was bad.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
It was bad.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
See I didn't think it was. I packed up two
studios filled of stuff. Why he performed and I felt
more satisfied than every single person that walked out of
that performance. It was a show. Uh. He tried to
do like an unplugged but really like he made us
sing like.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
It was really did he make Did he make love
in the club in front of you?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
He did? He did, he did. But he wasn't dancing either,
And I feel like that's part of it, that that
is his name. I mean that, I mean I always
thought I wasn't good looking enough, because this dude could
do it all right. He's dancing in the rings power
has it bad and like all the other you can
(25:13):
dance and he does like these things. And that song
was about.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
He used to date Chili from she was and he
broke her heart.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
He cheated on her chili. Chili usually don't. He's not
peanut but delicious. We can do an r I P.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Left eye did pass left?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I was the best a lot of r I P s. Yes,
she was the best.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Uh A Leiah too, Aliah.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Who was my first CD.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Let's talk about basic, right you guys, love you guys,
love you guys, love you bye. Yeah. So as dude,
the stadium is starting to pack up, but this is
going to be a crazy weekend. You know. It's still
meaningful baseball for the Phillies, more so for the Mets.
Uh Nola's on the mound. I want to talk about
about a guy that I care about, honestly.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
There's a guy.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Uh that's mister Walker. He's getting a lot of bad publicity,
mostly on your socials, Philadelphia socials. They've actually taken his jersey,
like when he got signed and they put the jersey
on him, they put it in reverse, so it looks
like they're taking it off of them and hanging it
back up. It's pretty messed up. But Taiwan Walker is struggling,
(26:24):
obviously likely never going to pitch the rest of the
year unless it's garbage time, right. Yeah. So, but my
man has a heart of gold. He would literally die
to play hard baseball. And I know that from when
he was with the Mets and I've seen him with
you guys. Yeah, and you see he's willing to die
on the mound.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
I mean he's getting rocked yep an after any and
he's saying, I'm still willing to go out I'll still
go out back for Northerland.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I know it's not what it should be, but he's
still he's willing to.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Die on the mount. You got to give it to him.
Can't have it, can't have it. But yeah, you respect
himsel as a man, as a person, as a ballplayer,
it's just not up to caliber of what needs to
be played right now.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Yeah, And I mean, is this the last we're gonna
see if Taiwan because they don't have a viable backup
to him. They threw out that starter in a conceding
game against Miami. You got lit up. Tyler Phillips has
self imploded since his first outing. I don't think they
have anybody right now that's better than Taiwan Walker. Yeah,
I can fill that fifth spot.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
It's eighteen games. He's not gonna be playing if, like,
if the Mets somehow swept this series.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Well, the Philly's better win tonight, because I think tomorrow
might be an automatic loss considering you're you look at
the website right now, it's TVD. They're trying to figure
out where in that carousel of starting pitching in that
number five spot, who's going to be out there in
the first inning throwing the first pitching.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Well, because also you got to start timing for the
playoffs too. Yeah, yeah, although they likely will have a
nice five day break at the minimum. Yeah, That's what
I'm talking about. Yeah, man, So look like, how I
want to mention this too. Bruce Harper is not the
healthiest right now.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
You know where if you heard them, And that's what
I had a problem with this earlier when they were
talking about not running out balls, ay he should have
been on second blah blah blah, everybody, he's got to
running out.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
It's been a kind of a thing. Yeah, the guy
is elbow injury. He's too usual. You want him sliding
into second base. I don't need that, dude. I need
you to perform in October. So let's be smart about
this kind of stuff. So when people are getting down
on each round and I don't care. I don't care
about that.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
He said it was a single. He came around and scored.
They won the game anyway. Whatever, be smart, be safe.
You see, I think got Schwarber when he was coming
back from from an injury.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
He lagged out a double and everyone's like, whoa, what
are you doing? He got talked out.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
It's like they're like, slow down, pump the brakes, and
you should treat your all stars that you're paying thirty
three hundred million dollars for the same way.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Well, wasn't it just a week earlier? When you know,
Harvard was already hurt then he got hit by that pitch.
It kind of emphasized his injuries a little bit more.
They were talking about putting put him on the ten day.
I l yeah, and then a week later, now he's
not lagging out doubles. Yeah, but which is it?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
And they don't mention this is the same guy who
tours hamstring trying to run out a infield a single,
busting his butt. So don't tell me that Bryce Harper
isn't trying to do everything in his power to bring
a trophy to this city.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Do not tell me that. But he learned first base
the quickest person that ever come back from Tommy Dons. Yeah,
and I hate it.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I love Reese Hoskins when he did for the city.
Bryce Harper is a way better defensive first base than
the Ree Hoskins, and he's in his first season as
the starting first dude.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
But talking about those things that you can't the Hoskins
family was so cool, man. She was buying you guys
beers in the stadium, Like so Reese, like that does
stink that he's not here anymore. But you're right, Harper
has made you forget about him like that.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Yeah, well, it's more when it comes to Reese, I
think it's more about locker room atmosphere. Ye, he's kind
of having a typical Reeese Hoskins season where he's hitting
in that two thirty range. He's still gonna give you
the twenty some home runs. Fair. Now, when you look
at it, you would bet for one of our outfielders
to have those numbers. So maybe we are missing them
at the plate. But it's you know, beggars can't be choosers.
(30:05):
I'm I'm glad that Bryce is hitting up first base,
Brandon marsh is starting to hit the ball up better.
He was slumping for a while. Casianos, no comment is that.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Your biggest is that your biggest fear in the playoffs
is the outfield offense.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
When no, my biggest I can tell you my biggest
fear in the playoffs is what happens. What happened a
couple of times this season, uh and ultimately happened in
the last two postseasons, where when this team's hitting the
ball well, they're unbeatable. Kyle Schwarber leading off. When he's hot,
he's the best player in baseball. But when they're not
hitting the ball. One through nine goes silent to the
(30:43):
point where they're struggling to get across one or two
runs a game. You saw that in the Houston Series
in the World Series. You saw it last year against
the Diamondbacks. When this team goes cold, they are cold.
You don't you don't have any any player in that
lineup that's kind of knock them out of it. Where
you're paying your lineup to where if Harper has a
(31:05):
bad game, this guy picks him up. If Casianos has
an over twenty seven drought, Schwerver's hot. When this team
goes cold, one through nine goes silent, and that ultimately
has killed them last two seasons in the playoffs because
the third pitching has not has not killed them.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
I would say not even one through nine, one through five,
one through six. Yeah, those guys, you know what I mean,
Those guys that you're paying to bring that.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Production to the lineup.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
When those guys go cold, and now you've got Rojas
up there with nobody on and one out and you're
just like, we can't get anything going. So that's what
I'm afraid of, is that top of the lineup going
cold because we haven't seen really the bottom be able
to carry it for an entire postseason series.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
And ultimately that one through five. I mean that just
takes all the weight off the bottom of the lineup
shoulders because you can't rely on them to begin with.
Maybe maybe one game here is stock gets hot for
a game, gets a couple of hits, But yeah, when
that one through five goes cold for an entire series,
it's game over.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Yeah, so eighteen games left? How many games does it
take for the Phillies to wrap this thing up? So
they're up eight games right now.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Well, the two big series this weekend between the Dodgers
and the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yeah, so a lot of riding on what happens in
those series.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
But I would say within the next ten games, twelve gamesair.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I think that's a realistic depending on how these other
series go. Twelve games, I would say, all right.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, I'm sitting around the ten to twelve range. I mean,
the Mets are not going to sweep.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Yeah, this is the first game of seven with the
Mets and Phillies. Man, it's going to be on primetime
next week. It's on primetime this week. It's about to happen, right,
behind us, which is exciting. Yeah, it's unreal, unreal, Citizens
Bank Ballpark. I want to thank our sponsors one more time,
Iconic Candy, Cruise an app k r u z N
(32:53):
for this amazing Trey Turner signed Jersey see yeah, c
are you you see?
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Did I say? K see?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
You were thinking? You were thinking? I had to look around.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
And clear rum k L Why are they so?
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Way way to mess it up. I hope I have
messed up on my other one because yeah, all right, thanks,
I needed that support. Speaking of support, do you guys
think I will be hairless?
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Completely next week? I just think for society'd be better
for Luke to shave that mustang.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I agree, for.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Society, I don't want to look at it.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
It makes him look a lot older than the kid
is too. Yeah, like I don't, I don't know. I
think I think I'd be doing him a favor. If
the Mets take two out of three.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Yeah, I don't. I don't want to see you without
a beard. It's I'm so, I'm stuck between a rock
and a hard place right now. I want the Phillage
to win. But if you know, the Mets win this,
I will If they don't win, You're gonna get some
new nicknames. We're gonna get some new nicknames.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Yeah. The scariest thing in my life is a lot
of people when Boss Baby came out, Uh, they were
comparing me to Boss Baby. I can see that. So
I'm scared of that. I'll wear a suit and die. Also, like,
obviously I have to be video and we have to
have meetings and stuff like that, So I will turn
the camera off and let everybody know that iHeartRadio is
(34:06):
audio first. So that's that's exactly what I'll do. But
the cool part is I think it won't maybe give
me like eight ten days, I'll be back. How about
you when you shave, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Shaved in a long time, but it's an optical illusion.
I want to keep it nice and long. It makes
your face look longer. Just when it shaved, I got
a circle face and it just looks grill. The good
news is there are some of these guys.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Bye, Jesse, thank you, thank you all five Stacy, thank you, Stace,
thank you Stace. Yeah, so predictions for tonight home run predictions,
and then we'll get out of here and we'll go
watch this game.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Anybody's gonna go yard. I think Nola gives up one
to two home runs. I think the Phillies wins seven
to five. Okay, yeah, Nola usually does.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Everybody's back today, Warber's back, We're Mulet's back. I'm gonna
say I think Nola has a better outing than that.
He usually doesn't have an implosion and an implusion for him,
you know, was what happened against the Marlins. I don't
think he has that twice. I think he doesn't cruise,
but I see him going about six innings, maybe three earned.
(35:14):
I'll put the Phillies at five to three.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Yah. The best thing about this ballpark are the home runs. Yeah,
and the Mets tend to hit better here. And I'm
gonna take you back to twenty fifteen. Daniel Murphy found
his swing in this ballpark.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
You know David Wright came back at that time too, Chicago. Yeah, dude,
it was just like these are ballparks that you look
forward to. You put him on the calendar when you're
on in a slump. This Fenway, Chicago like it. Definitely,
you know that Bronx dump places like that, you could
definitely come out of a slump. So the Mets aren't
(35:49):
in a slump right now obviously, but I could definitely
see Lindor. Let's go, who's gonna win tonight? All right?
Speaker 2 (35:57):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
That's energy, guys. And you don't get that everywhere. That's
red energy. Yeah, red energy. You don't get it down
in Chicago for the White Sox. It'd be for the Cubs.
And it's very different. The culture is very different.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Also, anytime there's a lefty going against the Phillies, I
like to look at the Cassie.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Can I ask you a question, since he's Chicago native? Yes,
is that real pizza?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Man?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Do you really think pizza down here, especially in New
York and then Chicago, that deep dish stuff you think.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
That's that's that's where you messed up. Deep dish is
not Chicago style pizza. Real Chicago style pizza is tavern
style thin, almost a cracker like a bar.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
That is real Chicago.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
This is more of a uh, it's like a lasagna, right,
it's a piece of It's a touristy thing. You come
and everyone's like, oh, the deep dish. You can have
that like once a month. It sits in your stomach.
It's a lot of cheep, but that's not real Chicago pizza.
That's a very misconception from It's like if people were
come here and they're like, I'm gonna go to Gino's
or Paths for.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Cheeseteak, and you're like, nah, that's really the tourist. You
guys know real spots. That's the equivalent of kind of
what I put it to, like a nice Irish pub McDonald's. Wow,
that's that's where I go. Yeah, listen, man, this has
been fun. I see some met fans, I see some
Philly fans. What's up everybody that you guys must have
some rough conversations in that household. God bless you.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Uh ye, you guys have seen together.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Let's see him on the forty seventh. Not just kidding.
I don't wish that on anybody, but listen, this is
the Divide Live. I'm here with Kyle Nutta, the Sheffield Shuffler,
crossing broad everything. This is Fox Sports the Gambler. Thank

no more money.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Okay, okay, okay, Well what's going to bring in some
money is all these people packing into this stadium tonight.
And speaking of that, we have to thank our sponsors,
Iconic Candy cruising app, you know, and we also have
a course. Yeah, how cool is this candy? Man?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
It's so much fun. And of course iHeartMedia. Thank you
everybody from there, you know. And we're just we're just
here enjoying the view that is this stadium behind us.
It's funny to me because yeah, it's so good man.
Congrats on your twins Pete, Oh, thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Twins.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, I have three children now under the age of
two years old, so I'm exhausted.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Life is good. Life is good.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
What was your initial reaction when you learned you were
gonna have twins?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
It's it's not appropriate for on air. Okay, it doesn't
run in the family though, right it does. My mother's
a twin. Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. It's just very hard.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Right now skips a year, so like curses you, but
it won't curse your kids. Correct, It's kind of weird. Yeah,
well look, man, Mets Phillies. Who would have thought we'd
have meaningful baseball in September?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Not you guys, No, you guys, we pretty much know
it from day one.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
That was that was that was brutal. I mean, honestly,
honestly the best policy.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It really is.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Best team in baseball since the All Star Break, the
New York Mets. I like to point that fact out. Yeah,
you know, the biggest vibe since the All Star Break,
the New York Mets. Whether you want to talk Grimace,
Oh my god, shout outs to j Mack. I brought
my son with me. Boys. Yeah, you're you.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I heard you're afraid to bring it in though, I'm
going to bring it in. Got that thing on you,
I got that thing on me.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Where's that sign? Where is it?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I didn't want to. I didn't want to steal his thunder.
H He's doing some amazing stuff, uh for the next
seven games, and like, honestly, I didn't want to steal
his thunder, so I didn't want to put it on
the broadcast. I won't bring it in with me. I
posted it. It is in the car that so hopefully
none of you Philly fans see it, and I'm break
into my car and take it.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
What do you think about all like the gimmicky stuff
that that the Mets do, Because some of it, I mean,
as if you were a fan of the Mets, some's
got to be kind of like fun to rally around,
right as outsiders think it's like loser stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, but like what the fans do, like the tradition
to the songs they came up, Oh my god, they
do grim mice, they.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Do these little rallies Johnny Diesel, Yeah, to get around.
Is the guy with the silk jacked? He was like
Pete Alonzo, the guy with the silk he had. Uh
oh yeah, the pentic guy. Okay, yeah, patch Patchman.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
There you go. Yeah, you guys got a bunch of
mask on us. Yeah, we got the pin Man, patch
Man Phil. You know, we the cowbell Man. Yeah, we're
a gimmicky thing, a four dark night Like, everything's like cool,
do you get We get one ace and we're thinking
we're going to the World Series. It's awesome. But I
will also point out that the Mets have just the
same amount of World Series as the Phills, you know.
(03:22):
So yeah, I remember ours though, I mean ours are
the most memorable. The Miracle Mets. Nineteen sixty nine, we
landed on the moon and the Mets won the World Series.
Grate you for that one. I was I was somewhere.
I was here, I was probably here. I believe in
reincarnation slash. Okay, just so you know, so I was
here nineteen eighty six. My first memory New York Mets
winning the World Series. Thank you, Bill Buckner. Rip. But yeah, dude,
(03:45):
everything we do is gimmicky. I'm not gonna lie to you.
It's hilarious. But this one's working. This one's working. For
a change. Only eighteen games left we're the.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Postseason right now. Yeah, I mean this has got to
be the most exciting You've been all season. Just starting
the beginning of season April, you had no Oh, I
was over.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
We had a dance crew. We had a dance crew.
That's all we had. We had the Queen's dance crew.
That's the only thing we had to rely on when
the season started. Those first two months horrifying. It was
so hard to be a me fan.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I thought your season was over when you had the
hook to a girl in there.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Oh my god. That that was a rough week. That
was a rough week. I'm not gonna lie you know
that that was a misstep, somebody from marketing or PR.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
A little bump in the rope. And then you got
back on track, you said, went in some games. I
know you're back in the playoff phrase.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It's pretty exciting, man, it's pretty exciting. I did want
to share something about the Phillies. Philly Fanatic was rated
the best mascot ever, deservedly. Yea ever. And here's my
argument with you both. If the Mets gave missus Met
the helm and made her the go to mascot, she
would take over that there's a chance there she got
(04:52):
some cake. Yeah, we got all one, O, four or
five here, damn and Jesse man, it's been so cool.
I was in London. Jesse had Kyle on her show
and they called me from London Square. I was hitting
baseballs into the freaking city. It was nuts. It was yeah,
probably a little dribbler down right.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah. I was gonna say, hitting yeah, baseballs into the
city is a wild common Yeah, it was great. It
was great.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I call one hundred feet top. Ah, man, that's that's rough.
But I was like a post roll in in my
sales role that would be under promise over delivered. So
I promised you I would over deliver. I have a
lot of baseball friends.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So yeah, so listen, dude, we were in London. We
had this conversation and we're like, hey, we got to
bring this back. And I saw Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
On the calendar.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
At that time, I did not think the Mets would
be remotely where they were. You know, we barely scraped
by in London. We're lucky that the Phillies did not
sweep that series. And now we're sitting here and you know,
seven games out of first place, which is unbelievable, but
in a wild card spot and you know it's it's
just been fun. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I mean you guys, like I said, you had no
intention to be in here, and this is exciting for
for everybody. I think, right and meaningful baseball. I think
that's all you can ask for. Beautiful September night and
there's meaningful baseball.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Well, and also you know the Phillies when it comes
to the division, it's wrapped up, right, we can we
can all agree on that.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
No, dude, I would say it's like a verbal agreement.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, a verbal agreement.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, there's no signatures, yeah dude. Yeah, the Mets have
to have a shot to do the funniest thing that
they've ever done in their lives and kind of right
the wrong that happened in two thousand and seven and nine,
two thousand and eight. They or they'll play the hits
and do what they do every year. And yeah, yeah, bro,
(06:49):
this has been weird, man, Like they they literally don't
outside of a home run sign lindor just being an
endorsement for m VP. That's who I got smart.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
So I was talking about earlier guy taking advantage of
of a spot where he gets an opportunity like that
talk about Mark Viento's yeah, in the.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Back and forth with Pete Alonso too, like, uh but yeah, Mark,
Mark's been unreal like so like third base was the
biggest question mark with the Mets absolutely. Uh, you know,
Brett Batty, he's doing his thing in the minor leagues,
but obviously, uh, you know, Mark has made that his
home and it's just been absolutely insane. Uh to just
watch the stats like it's it's good because like ever
(07:29):
ever since d Wright, like we haven't had anybody in
that corner that you could really say wow, like, you know,
except for Todd Fraser, that was a great couple of years.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Sorry Todd Freudian slip up there, but.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, dude, yeah, I kind of messed up there. That's
my one guy. And I was like, we're but right
was there technically right when Todd was like, I feel
like it would know better than yeah, so right was
just injured.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
So well, let me ask you something as as an
outsider of the New York Mets. If you guys make
the post, and what do you think your biggest concern
will be? Is it just playing better teams? Do you
have glaring deficiencies that you have to that are gonna
you know, come to light, come playoff season.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, I don't want that SmackDown the reality, right, Like,
so I don't want it to be like, oh, new season,
and we got to find ourselves again, because if we
start the postseason the way we started the regular season,
we're gonna be in. We're gonna be out quick.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
What I will say is like, we're also playing with
house money, how much fun? Like now you're stressed about
the Phillies, right.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
That's why I was gonna get to the twenty two Phillies.
This is right where they were, exactly right where the
Mets are right. So also like I saw.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
The in twenty twenty two, I saw the path for
the Phillies and it was a way more enjoyable path
than the Mets even had, right and they won, Well,
there were one more games they should have had the
easier path. It wasn't you guys had what was the
first team?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
You played the Cardinals?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
The Cardinals and then you went to the Braves. Yeah,
and the Braves are you know, stale and now the
Braves and we just talked about this off the air,
but Pete and I were talking about it the Braves
this spring training, was like, hey, maybe we won't win
the division because wild card is better because you get
the play more. And we're like, that's the dumbest thing
you could ever do. You can never like and now
(09:18):
like maybe if they lost one or two games, they're
they're wishing they didn't do that.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Now.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I was arguing with you about that earlier, saying that
the wildcard teams the number one teams if you look
at him historically over the last two seasons, Dodgers, Braves
two years ago, the Padres. You get that first round
by you're sitting for five days, almost the same as
an All Star break. Then you come back and everybody's cold.
So I'm fine with wildcard. If I'm playing my best
ball in October, I'm playing every day. I don't want
to sit for five days, Okay, So for me, I
(09:44):
don't care, dude, if you're playing, I want to play
every day.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
We'll play every day if we're playing good ball.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
The only thing that scares me, and we'll get the
slashest point in a second, is it's only three games, right,
Anybody can win a series, right, So you know that
scares me five games. You got to really bring your
a game to beat me seven game series, got to
bring your a game to beat me three games. Anything
could happen. You saw that with the Padres and the Mets.
We had the grom we had Ureser, you know, and
(10:11):
and house Money on the third we were talking about,
all right, we'll do Max and if we win that
first game, then we'll you know, we'll go uh to
our fourth or fifth starter, because then they would line
us up for the next series.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah, you know, Well, the thing that makes me confident
is the Phillies dealing with the injuries that they already
have and still overcoming those. So that's a big thing
in baseball, right. Oh, your your starter goes down, your
third basement goes down. You got these guys stepping up,
and Phillies are still overcoming those obstacles, continuing to win.
With guys sitting out, people are stepping up. Buddy Kennedy
is playing third base. Identity Bay such a bad playing
(10:44):
third base tonight. So you got these guys coming up,
taking advantage of their opportunities.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
And that's that gives you confidence as a fan.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You're just like, dude, these are these are dudes that
are ready to play, So that makes me feel good.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I think that all gets thrown out in the watch.
They'll come playoff season. I mean it's good now, but
when it comes to the spot, like you gotta have
your best players healthy. Sure, you can't rely on these.
Buddy Kennedy's right, but we're.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Not losing games in the division exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Exactly, but that that just plays right into my point
where I call me old fashion now, but I would
rather have less games to get to the World Series.
So I do care if you have to play in
the wild card round. You know, being that we've been
in at the last two seasons, you know, you can
see how these can go. Yeah, I mean, the Cardinals
(11:27):
had that Game one wrapped up and then next thing
you know, you know, a flick of the wrist and
from Gene Sigora means and the whole series turns. I mean,
we're just lucky that it was in our favorite at
that point and then you gain momentum off of that.
But a three game series is way too short to
determine who is the best team. We were, you know,
(11:47):
in the best situation of that heading in especially in
twenty two because we you know, we're playing with house money. Now,
we're in a situation where we've been in first place
most of the year. I don't want to be caught
in a situation where we would be playing in a
wild card, which you know, the odds are completely against
that right now. But it goes to my point where, yeah,
(12:07):
I want to play the least amount of games and
I want to have the easiest pay at the World Series,
no matter how hot or how cold you are, and
home field advantage.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yeah, obviously, no, obviously, the expanded playoffs has changed everything,
even the trade deadline. Like it's crazy, right, the Mets
should have been sellers in the old structure. Now they're
you know, they weren't buyers, but they they made moves,
and I'm really proud of them, you know. Yeah. I
Galazia's like he's been insane, whether it be singing, getting
(12:36):
the team going. There was any know, there was an
off day, right, So the Oh my God song one
of the hottest Latin songs right now, I would say,
right fair by us. Yeah, no major League Baseball player.
So listen the team's vibe in they're at like a
charity event. They start singing this song. Next thing, you know,
(12:57):
the sign is made by j Mac Customs and they're
off for the races. They had a live concert after
the game with my man. It's just been it's been
absolutely insane, and it's just like like you said, we
get into this every single year. This is the deepest
that's ever gone because Donnie Diesel was gone before August.
You know, the Mets typically implode, and it's it's the opposite.
(13:21):
They got off to a rough start, they found themselves
as a team. This is stuff that that movies are
made of. Then I know I'm getting ahead of myself,
but that's what Met fans do.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, well, you gotta be excited to for your ownership
as a fan of a baseball team. When you have
an owner that is a baseball fan, an owner that's
trying to win games, that's an easy team to be
a fan of because they're gonna spend money, they're gonna
do make smart moves. They're not treating this like a
business and just trying to get as much overhead and
profit as possible.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
So with uh which is Steve Cohen, Yeah, he's Uncle
Stevie dude. Like he's spending money.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
So you gotta be excited for that for the next
you know, however long he owns a team, it's a
good vibe.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
It's also Alex Cohen. She's like kind of created the culture,
uh in in the fan base and also on the team,
like it's a family. It's it's it's a whole different
experience where the will Ponds was kind of like, uh,
you know, working for Apple or Steve Jobs where they
just thought there were above people.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yeah, charging you extra for chargers and headphones. You have
to throw them in the box right for real?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Uh so inflation man, Yeah, and and look like so
we're very fortunate to have the Cohens. For sure, they're
gonna build this area is amazing. Infinity lives all three
stadiums here. When you go to Queens right now, there's
a chop shop that's it. Yeah you know if the
opens there, Yeah, you get to see some cool tennis.
But outside of that, the World's Fair is gone and dead.
(14:44):
It is. It's so sad to go around there. And
the Cohens are gonna change that. Plans for you, plans
in the rain, Yeah, to have the New York team
football club team there everything a casino like obviously everything
uh Philadelphia has hopefully we'll be in Queen's.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Saint Louis has that Chicago has that they build an
experience around the stadium because then it becomes a part
of a uh tourist attraction. And as well, you're bringing
these people in coming to the game, so again spending
money getting people.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
To uh you guys, are you guys are moving that direction?
Meanwhile the Sixers are trying to move over across the river,
so and not excited about that.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
It's crazy man, and and the Devil's ownership being the same,
like they already know how to navigate New York New
Jersey government, like you guys finally losing Sixers.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
That's hilarious. I have mentally lost the Sixers, uh, you know,
three years ago. So I don't even want to get
started on that.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
So we got to bring in our star, uh jam
and Jesse. Jesse, if you you're available for a few minutes. Uh,
I love to.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Have you step away from your fans.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
First, we got another mic and we got another headphone.
Come behind you guys. Yeah, they're just tagging the Philly Captain.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Just tag no biggie cheer we are. Yeah, that was
a great interview.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
You had. It's such a Gilbert Goffrey like, you know,
and I'm gonna put it is. Yeah, I'm gonna take
so many shots at him if we're going to talk
Philly Captain, because he took a few shots at me
the last couple of days. Yeah, I did that. I
did that thing for an appliance company that is not
sponsoring this, So shout outs to Gearharts. Actually you need
your appliances. Go to Gearharts dot com, family owned company.
(16:22):
They're pretty amazing. But I did something for another company.
And he loves to tell me that I'm not crazy, Eddie,
and I'm like, yeah, I'm not crazy, Eddie. I'm not
in jail. It's like if Gilbert Goffrey were also not
on drugs. Oh dude, it's crazy. That's exactly what his
voice sounds like. It should be like Philly Goffrey or
something that should be his real name.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
All right, So do you guys think that well, I
guess they get handies out in the dugout. Do you
think that bubble jug should make like one with like
nicotine in it for the players?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yo?
Speaker 1 (16:49):
So good idea? Right, I can't share this with you,
but I kind of candy is going to do some
of the in the in the situation in the gum
in industry, and let's say it's not nicotine, it would
be something else, kind of mellows you out. I've said
too much. I've said too much. Water would be a
(17:12):
good No.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Water that's gonna have a flavor to it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Maybe not.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
I mean they could, they could cover up flavors my childhood.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
The one thing they do. Yeah, and it's kind of
great because shout outs the big League too, you know
that's they've been on the show. Uh, they're awesome people.
But thank god all those horror pictures when we were
kids of like people chewing because I never put nicotine
in my mouth because I was afraid a beautiful face
(17:41):
would be Really you.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Know who has a huge wad every time he goes
up to.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
That Sean brace? Oh zoo.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yo rare.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Whatever I can on those, is it like PC?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah, well I don't go on LIKECE gives me like
the seven A m p S a moment. It's like
Lorraine has all the other stations and I'm on the Gambler. Literally,
but yeah, you could say it, you could say it.
But also there's.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Looks like he's like head of the Philly and Nitros mafia.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Like every time I'm like, I know him. Yeah, he's
not a lot.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Of other problems though, I know him. Yeah, I got
your fellow dippers.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yo. Remember when Philly had that issue where everybody was
giving those balloons outside? Yeah? Yeah, problem. But as a kid,
like how many kids did you hear?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
All the adults have one?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah it's not helium, but I'll tell you that that
was out of pocket.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Man.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
We have grown and matured as Philadelphians.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
We have We just can't have dollar dog night. No,
apparently not. So we've grown in some places, but have
regressed another.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Speaking of Philly Captain, we found out yesterday that Kyle
Swarber does, in fact put ketchup on his hot dog.
What are your feelings on that?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
The first twenty five years of my life like ketchup
on a hot dog? I have grown into a man
and have accepted the fact that you need to have
ketchup and mustard on a hot dog. Yes, and the
mixture is just unbelievable, just like you do. But you
do both with a burger, correct, Yeah, Maise go hand
in hands.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
You should not be so worried about what other man
is putting on their meat.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Their meat missile, right.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Thing to put whatever you want on it?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Talking about barbecue, right, yeah, okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Uh, I'm from Brooklyn. Nathan's it's mustard or bust so.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Great. I like everything.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Run it through the garden, I run it through.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I'll rock all the other toppings. I just won't put
ketchup on it, but I will share.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
When you put a little ketchup on bread, it actually
tastes amazing, like like a Hamburger bondos. Like ketchup on
bread is pretty good.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
I'll eat it.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I'm from Brooklyn. I'll eat a ketchup sandwich. Times are
tough sometimes, all right.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Potato rolls with potato chips smashed into the role in
mayonnaise in front of a ship sandwich, yep, what is
I love fat stuff?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I make sometimes I make like a poor man's pizza,
so like cheddar cheese and like maybe a slami or
pepperoni like lefto. Yeah, like on a slice of white
bread or potato bread. That's so fun. Do that poor
man's pizza. I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I'd rather spend the six dollars on like the pre
made peacha. Yeah, you could do that your top dog
now and or no, our job. I'm not you are,
I'm not. I I can put out the six dollars,
though I hate the brag. I can't put up the
six dollars for a for a full pizza's a family
of four.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
As I'm on here, my daughter asked if she could
purchase something on an app, So I dollars elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I'm gonna eating pepperoni bread for a week if you purchased.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
But what's the weirdest thing you've ever like? Concot?
Speaker 4 (20:55):
I mean, the mayo sandwiches were a thing when I
was younger, and then the potato.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Did you ever do that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah, it's just really good.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Peanut butter and bread and chili. I did that in
college a lot. Yeah, really sounds weird. But you take
a piece of bread, put peanut butter around it, and
you put it in your chili.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
This sounds weird, but it was a college thing. I
don't know, I haven't done it since, but.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
It was just like, hey, this tastes good.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
It's just sweet. If you're walking by and you're not
gonna come into Exfinity. We have every reason you should
thank you to the Cruise and App. We're giving away
a signed Trey Turner Jersey. Shout outs to one oh
four or five for promoting it all week, Jam and Jesse,
Stacey's here, Ties here, everybody's here just promoting this stuff.
(21:39):
We're giving out Weezer tickets every thirty minutes on the
air right now, courtesy of Iconic Candy, Clear Rum and
the Cruising App. And if you don't know what the
Cruise and App is, it's c r u z e
N And it's a peer to peer service. So if
you have a flat tire, you have dead battery, you're
(21:59):
on the road, and it's everybody it's been there. When
you're on the side of the road, the first thing
you want to do is get off the side of
the road. It's scary, especially in.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Philadelphia as a whole.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Right now, Yeah, so this matches you peer to peer
almost like an uber with a mechanic. They have over
eighty certified mechanics in Philadelphia that will come and service you,
so you'll know exactly when they leave the shop where
they are, just like your pizza or anything else you
deliver via app. You will know where your mechanic is.
Triple A way better, way better than Triple app.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
You can actually track them because you know they love
to tell you yeah, we'll be there in forty minutes,
but you're still on the way to two.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Hours on the side of exit.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Why do I pay for? And the crazy part is
people are like, don't God for Triple A, Like, you know, no,
thank God for the cruising app changing it. Pretty soon
you'll be able to use it to get details, uh
other other card things. Uh, so inspections, they're they're really
going to take this to storm. We're lucky that it's
a Philly owned company and we get it first. That's
(22:58):
so cool. But to look for them naturally. Wow.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
So I might just hit a speed bump going fifty
just to try it today.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I might just.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
You'll be good.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
So, Jesse, I did something and I'm embarrassed. I know
Philly Captain mentioned it to you. But Luke Arkaney from
Crossing broad uh from Fox Sports The Gambler, Yeah, shout
out to look. Yeah, Luke and I last night were
at Yards with Kyle Schwarber. I was feeling it. Mets
are doing well. He came up to me He's like, Yo,
(23:31):
we got to put a way drop this. He's like,
what do you want? I was like, I was like money,
and he's like, I was like, I don't really want
to take some Moody. He's a kid, right, I don't
want to take some kids freaking money. So yeah, Jansen
goes yo hair hair on hair match and I was like,
but I'm bald, and he goes, no, you're beard. So
it's my beard versus Luke Rkaney's mustache that makes him
(23:53):
look like that country singer everybody likes. They did Morgan
Toby's dead. Yo. I killed Wendy Williams today. I thought
I forgot She's just sick. I thought you passed well.
Kyle literally thought that Usher was dead.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
He he went, you know, the the late great Usher.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I was dead his career almost that night inside joke.
You had to be there. Stop. He brought it back
during the died Yoh it was bad.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
It was bad.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
See I didn't think it was. I packed up two
studios filled of stuff. Why he performed and I felt
more satisfied than every single person that walked out of
that performance. It was a show. Uh. He tried to
do like an unplugged but really like he made us
sing like.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
It was really did he make Did he make love
in the club in front of you?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
He did? He did, he did. But he wasn't dancing either,
And I feel like that's part of it, that that
is his name. I mean that, I mean I always
thought I wasn't good looking enough, because this dude could
do it all right. He's dancing in the rings power
has it bad and like all the other you can
(25:13):
dance and he does like these things. And that song
was about.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
He used to date Chili from she was and he
broke her heart.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
He cheated on her chili. Chili usually don't. He's not
peanut but delicious. We can do an r I P.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Left eye did pass left?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I was the best a lot of r I P s. Yes,
she was the best.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Uh A Leiah too, Aliah.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Who was my first CD.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Let's talk about basic, right you guys, love you guys,
love you guys, love you bye. Yeah. So as dude,
the stadium is starting to pack up, but this is
going to be a crazy weekend. You know. It's still
meaningful baseball for the Phillies, more so for the Mets.
Uh Nola's on the mound. I want to talk about
about a guy that I care about, honestly.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
There's a guy.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Uh that's mister Walker. He's getting a lot of bad publicity,
mostly on your socials, Philadelphia socials. They've actually taken his jersey,
like when he got signed and they put the jersey
on him, they put it in reverse, so it looks
like they're taking it off of them and hanging it
back up. It's pretty messed up. But Taiwan Walker is struggling,
(26:24):
obviously likely never going to pitch the rest of the
year unless it's garbage time, right. Yeah. So, but my
man has a heart of gold. He would literally die
to play hard baseball. And I know that from when
he was with the Mets and I've seen him with
you guys. Yeah, and you see he's willing to die
on the mound.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
I mean he's getting rocked yep an after any and
he's saying, I'm still willing to go out I'll still
go out back for Northerland.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I know it's not what it should be, but he's
still he's willing to.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Die on the mount. You got to give it to him.
Can't have it, can't have it. But yeah, you respect
himsel as a man, as a person, as a ballplayer,
it's just not up to caliber of what needs to
be played right now.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Yeah, And I mean, is this the last we're gonna
see if Taiwan because they don't have a viable backup
to him. They threw out that starter in a conceding
game against Miami. You got lit up. Tyler Phillips has
self imploded since his first outing. I don't think they
have anybody right now that's better than Taiwan Walker. Yeah,
I can fill that fifth spot.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
It's eighteen games. He's not gonna be playing if, like,
if the Mets somehow swept this series.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Well, the Philly's better win tonight, because I think tomorrow
might be an automatic loss considering you're you look at
the website right now, it's TVD. They're trying to figure
out where in that carousel of starting pitching in that
number five spot, who's going to be out there in
the first inning throwing the first pitching.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Well, because also you got to start timing for the
playoffs too. Yeah, yeah, although they likely will have a
nice five day break at the minimum. Yeah, That's what
I'm talking about. Yeah, man, So look like, how I
want to mention this too. Bruce Harper is not the
healthiest right now.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
You know where if you heard them, And that's what
I had a problem with this earlier when they were
talking about not running out balls, ay he should have
been on second blah blah blah, everybody, he's got to
running out.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
It's been a kind of a thing. Yeah, the guy
is elbow injury. He's too usual. You want him sliding
into second base. I don't need that, dude. I need
you to perform in October. So let's be smart about
this kind of stuff. So when people are getting down
on each round and I don't care. I don't care
about that.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
He said it was a single. He came around and scored.
They won the game anyway. Whatever, be smart, be safe.
You see, I think got Schwarber when he was coming
back from from an injury.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
He lagged out a double and everyone's like, whoa, what
are you doing? He got talked out.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
It's like they're like, slow down, pump the brakes, and
you should treat your all stars that you're paying thirty
three hundred million dollars for the same way.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Well, wasn't it just a week earlier? When you know,
Harvard was already hurt then he got hit by that pitch.
It kind of emphasized his injuries a little bit more.
They were talking about putting put him on the ten day.
I l yeah, and then a week later, now he's
not lagging out doubles. Yeah, but which is it?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
And they don't mention this is the same guy who
tours hamstring trying to run out a infield a single,
busting his butt. So don't tell me that Bryce Harper
isn't trying to do everything in his power to bring
a trophy to this city.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Do not tell me that. But he learned first base
the quickest person that ever come back from Tommy Dons. Yeah,
and I hate it.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I love Reese Hoskins when he did for the city.
Bryce Harper is a way better defensive first base than
the Ree Hoskins, and he's in his first season as
the starting first dude.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
But talking about those things that you can't the Hoskins
family was so cool, man. She was buying you guys
beers in the stadium, Like so Reese, like that does
stink that he's not here anymore. But you're right, Harper
has made you forget about him like that.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Yeah, well, it's more when it comes to Reese, I
think it's more about locker room atmosphere. Ye, he's kind
of having a typical Reeese Hoskins season where he's hitting
in that two thirty range. He's still gonna give you
the twenty some home runs. Fair. Now, when you look
at it, you would bet for one of our outfielders
to have those numbers. So maybe we are missing them
at the plate. But it's you know, beggars can't be choosers.
(30:05):
I'm I'm glad that Bryce is hitting up first base,
Brandon marsh is starting to hit the ball up better.
He was slumping for a while. Casianos, no comment is that.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Your biggest is that your biggest fear in the playoffs
is the outfield offense.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
When no, my biggest I can tell you my biggest
fear in the playoffs is what happens. What happened a
couple of times this season, uh and ultimately happened in
the last two postseasons, where when this team's hitting the
ball well, they're unbeatable. Kyle Schwarber leading off. When he's hot,
he's the best player in baseball. But when they're not
hitting the ball. One through nine goes silent to the
(30:43):
point where they're struggling to get across one or two
runs a game. You saw that in the Houston Series
in the World Series. You saw it last year against
the Diamondbacks. When this team goes cold, they are cold.
You don't you don't have any any player in that
lineup that's kind of knock them out of it. Where
you're paying your lineup to where if Harper has a
(31:05):
bad game, this guy picks him up. If Casianos has
an over twenty seven drought, Schwerver's hot. When this team
goes cold, one through nine goes silent, and that ultimately
has killed them last two seasons in the playoffs because
the third pitching has not has not killed them.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
I would say not even one through nine, one through five,
one through six. Yeah, those guys, you know what I mean,
Those guys that you're paying to bring that.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Production to the lineup.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
When those guys go cold, and now you've got Rojas
up there with nobody on and one out and you're
just like, we can't get anything going. So that's what
I'm afraid of, is that top of the lineup going
cold because we haven't seen really the bottom be able
to carry it for an entire postseason series.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
And ultimately that one through five. I mean that just
takes all the weight off the bottom of the lineup
shoulders because you can't rely on them to begin with.
Maybe maybe one game here is stock gets hot for
a game, gets a couple of hits, But yeah, when
that one through five goes cold for an entire series,
it's game over.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Yeah, so eighteen games left? How many games does it
take for the Phillies to wrap this thing up? So
they're up eight games right now.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Well, the two big series this weekend between the Dodgers
and the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yeah, so a lot of riding on what happens in
those series.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
But I would say within the next ten games, twelve gamesair.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I think that's a realistic depending on how these other
series go. Twelve games, I would say, all right.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, I'm sitting around the ten to twelve range. I mean,
the Mets are not going to sweep.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Yeah, this is the first game of seven with the
Mets and Phillies. Man, it's going to be on primetime
next week. It's on primetime this week. It's about to happen, right,
behind us, which is exciting. Yeah, it's unreal, unreal, Citizens
Bank Ballpark. I want to thank our sponsors one more time,
Iconic Candy, Cruise an app k r u z N
(32:53):
for this amazing Trey Turner signed Jersey see yeah, c
are you you see?
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Did I say? K see?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
You were thinking? You were thinking? I had to look around.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
And clear rum k L Why are they so?
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Way way to mess it up. I hope I have
messed up on my other one because yeah, all right, thanks,
I needed that support. Speaking of support, do you guys
think I will be hairless?
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Completely next week? I just think for society'd be better
for Luke to shave that mustang.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I agree, for.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Society, I don't want to look at it.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
It makes him look a lot older than the kid
is too. Yeah, like I don't, I don't know. I
think I think I'd be doing him a favor. If
the Mets take two out of three.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Yeah, I don't. I don't want to see you without
a beard. It's I'm so, I'm stuck between a rock
and a hard place right now. I want the Phillage
to win. But if you know, the Mets win this,
I will If they don't win, You're gonna get some
new nicknames. We're gonna get some new nicknames.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Yeah. The scariest thing in my life is a lot
of people when Boss Baby came out, Uh, they were
comparing me to Boss Baby. I can see that. So
I'm scared of that. I'll wear a suit and die. Also, like,
obviously I have to be video and we have to
have meetings and stuff like that, So I will turn
the camera off and let everybody know that iHeartRadio is
(34:06):
audio first. So that's that's exactly what I'll do. But
the cool part is I think it won't maybe give
me like eight ten days, I'll be back. How about
you when you shave, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Shaved in a long time, but it's an optical illusion.
I want to keep it nice and long. It makes
your face look longer. Just when it shaved, I got
a circle face and it just looks grill. The good
news is there are some of these guys.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Bye, Jesse, thank you, thank you all five Stacy, thank you, Stace,
thank you Stace. Yeah, so predictions for tonight home run predictions,
and then we'll get out of here and we'll go
watch this game.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Anybody's gonna go yard. I think Nola gives up one
to two home runs. I think the Phillies wins seven
to five. Okay, yeah, Nola usually does.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Everybody's back today, Warber's back, We're Mulet's back. I'm gonna
say I think Nola has a better outing than that.
He usually doesn't have an implosion and an implusion for him,
you know, was what happened against the Marlins. I don't
think he has that twice. I think he doesn't cruise,
but I see him going about six innings, maybe three earned.
(35:14):
I'll put the Phillies at five to three.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Yah. The best thing about this ballpark are the home runs. Yeah,
and the Mets tend to hit better here. And I'm
gonna take you back to twenty fifteen. Daniel Murphy found
his swing in this ballpark.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
You know David Wright came back at that time too, Chicago. Yeah, dude,
it was just like these are ballparks that you look
forward to. You put him on the calendar when you're
on in a slump. This Fenway, Chicago like it. Definitely,
you know that Bronx dump places like that, you could
definitely come out of a slump. So the Mets aren't
(35:49):
in a slump right now obviously, but I could definitely
see Lindor. Let's go, who's gonna win tonight? All right?
Speaker 2 (35:57):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
That's energy, guys. And you don't get that everywhere. That's
red energy. Yeah, red energy. You don't get it down
in Chicago for the White Sox. It'd be for the Cubs.
And it's very different. The culture is very different.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Also, anytime there's a lefty going against the Phillies, I
like to look at the Cassie.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Can I ask you a question, since he's Chicago native? Yes,
is that real pizza?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Man?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Do you really think pizza down here, especially in New
York and then Chicago, that deep dish stuff you think.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
That's that's that's where you messed up. Deep dish is
not Chicago style pizza. Real Chicago style pizza is tavern
style thin, almost a cracker like a bar.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
That is real Chicago.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
This is more of a uh, it's like a lasagna, right,
it's a piece of It's a touristy thing. You come
and everyone's like, oh, the deep dish. You can have
that like once a month. It sits in your stomach.
It's a lot of cheep, but that's not real Chicago pizza.
That's a very misconception from It's like if people were
come here and they're like, I'm gonna go to Gino's
or Paths for.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Cheeseteak, and you're like, nah, that's really the tourist. You
guys know real spots. That's the equivalent of kind of
what I put it to, like a nice Irish pub McDonald's. Wow,
that's that's where I go. Yeah, listen, man, this has
been fun. I see some met fans, I see some
Philly fans. What's up everybody that you guys must have
some rough conversations in that household. God bless you.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Uh ye, you guys have seen together.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Let's see him on the forty seventh. Not just kidding.
I don't wish that on anybody, but listen, this is
the Divide Live. I'm here with Kyle Nutta, the Sheffield Shuffler,
crossing broad everything. This is Fox Sports the Gambler. Thank
you for tuning in. Let's go Mets, Let's go Phil,
Go Phil. This is the Divide, hence the name. Thank
(37:45):
you everybody for watching. Thank you to Tie for putting
this all together. Thank you for everybody, I'm stuck together
at one o four five. You know, the entire Iheartcraft
Cast and of course our sponsors. Have a great night.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
