I'm just gonna say this now. Yeah, i feel like
every night the last couple of weeks, I'm saying to myself,
I'm watching the end of the Mets season like I'm
(00:59):
watching the season's ending. I'm watching the end this game.
This is the game tonight. This really feels like the
end of that.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Are you gonna change the word killing me softly to
killing those slowly.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
No, it is killing me with a big old rusty axe.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
And it's appropriate that we had the open about stealing,
like stealing home plate. Yeah, the Mets trail the Yankees
three to one. Garrett Cole and Justin Verlander, great pitchers,
duel for a while. That's breakthrough with.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
A run three to one on Yankees breakthrough with a
couple and the Yankees score their third run because they
straight steal home. Yeah, Brooks Raley, who has a very
let's just say, deliberate motion to the plate though, Yeah, no,
And he's been good this year. He has been under three.
(01:47):
Isaiah Kiner Falifa was on third and ik f is
able to steal home And here's the best part. He's
three quarters of the way to home plate and Raley
still has the ball in his hand. Well, he is
fast as three quarters of the way to the plate
and Raley still has not thrown the ball.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
He's a guy that outside of New York nobody's ever
heard of. Now he's a full kiro now oh yeah, yeah,
now I can't. He's everywhere and it's only appropriate that
he's blazing down the third base line as we get
ready for the premiere of The Flash see it all
comes together.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah yeah, I'm not not not nearly as happy as
you are about that, but I am film hero. Watching
him rail down the line, I feel like this is like,
this is the game that's gonna be the end of
the season, like like that, this is the one that
this is the one, not the one before, not the
one before the listen well, the series against the Braves,
I thought, well, that's going to be absolutely it. But
this getting swept by the Yankees and seeing your pitting,
(02:44):
now that this is gonna be it. So what So
what happens?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Uh? Does Walt come waltzing in the door going la
la la, He'll launch you.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
He's gonna bothered you yet. No, he's gonna walk into
you know that that gift that's uh of Vince McMahon.
Why that's how my dad walks walks into my house
before he blew out both of the squads. Yeah, and
he comes in. He'll have his Yankee hat, he'll have
a Yankee shirt. Oh yeah, yeah, you walk no slides
(03:13):
right in, Hey, hey get me up? No, no, no,
He'll he'll come in like like he owns the house,
like like he I'm the lamp landlord, and I'm here
to see you guys, like that's how we'll walk in. Wow,
that's what he does. I haven't seen him, haven't seen
him in probably I saw him this weekend game. Uh
do check in? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we text, but
(03:36):
you know I saw him this weekend. I haven't seen him,
and I know he's waiting for the end of the
subway Father's Day gift. He's waiting like you, I'm done
with this. He's waiting. He's waiting, waiting, waiting, He's checking in. Yeah,
have you checked in on your blood brother Frank?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You know, Frank the tank is not going to be
happy after tonight. I I don't know what to do.
I would say, we call and get Frank on this
sh but that good. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I don't want to only we had good friends like
you do here in the studio. We are now doctors here.
You've turned them GIOE.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I got some kind of crazy ass horror movie which
I don't know what it is. Then I don't know,
I don't know what. There's a commercial, and then Lord
of the Rings is on. That's the four Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
White Sox are getting ready to start. But because your
game was rain delayed, I have to believe at some
point you were really excited that you were gonna get
rained out.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Is that the game wouldn't be playing? Is that? What
we have on is that we have ESPN two, We
have the that what's on right now? Okay, So because
you bums are on ESPN, you guys haven't finished your game.
We have Dodgers pregame, a horror movie from the eighties
which I can't decipher Justice, which kind of upsetting me
a little bit. Jason, it's Friday the thirteenth. Come on,
it's not it's a Friday.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
No, it's off Friday the thirteenth. You've always asked for
it one of them? Is it one of the Friday
the thirteenth. It's got Dudley in it.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Okay, it's Friday the twelfth, Arlod Jackson's old friend Dudley.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Well, you know, you know, Saturday the fourteenth is movie.
It is a real thing. That's true with Richard Benjamin. Yeah.
By the way, our guy Frank just for an update
about a minute ago. Quote, sorry, my PC won't let
me go live. Need to prepare for podcast anywhere.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, gotta get ready, gotta get ready, gotta give everybody
for the reaction shot. So how do you feel about
the new role here in the studio, no more games?
I don't know. We gotta see, we gotta see how
it goes. I gotta see if if this is something
that I see, how I feel. I gotta say it.
It's kind of like if the doctor says, hey, try
the CPAP machine for a month and then see how
you feel after you use this for a month. Maybe
(05:37):
you'll feel better, maybe you'll feel the same, maybe you
will notice a difference. I gotta see. I'm kind of
shrug and I wentah, didn't do much for me. Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
This is kind of like reading a couple of articles
on the interwebs and deciding you're now a clinician and
just saying, you know what, I got this figured out.
This is how we keep Jason. He's already happy, he's
already breathing.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
It is it is. It's like that one time he
didn't have a sandwich for five minutes. So yeah, so
this is I suffered the same fad. So I understand.
I don't know how I feel. Should I want to
watch the Mets now that it's three to two for
your health, and the bases are loaded in the bottom
of the seventh inning. Should I want to watch them?
Or is it better to not have them on? And
(06:19):
maybe me not watching makes them maybe some kind of
bizarre A's thing where the A's fans start going to
the games, they start winning. They were away from the games,
they were losing. Now they can't lose. Maybe it's the
whole thing. I need to not watch the Mets. And
you know what just happened. The Mets scored on it's
three two. I'm okay, I'll let this go right now,
(06:40):
I'll let this go. I'll let this play out for
a little bit here, three to two, bottom of the
seventh bases loaded too out. Sure, I'll let this play out.
A little bit excited. That's exciting. By the way, Hey,
I suck it. I listen, I'll suck it up. I
am so pro Mets. I will not watch them if
it means we can win. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I mean, we had the reverse boycott last night. The
last two evenings on the program, we have crowned champions.
So what kind of excitement do we have today? I
will say this, I want to call it out because
I love my collectibles industry and some of the cool
innovations they do, and Panini and Tops that both had
these things where they do great tributes to big events
(07:16):
and put out a limited a dish, right, you can
order this for twenty four hours and then there's number
of parallels whatever. Somehow Tops in their tops now, so
yesterday were a number of cards, right, here's a milestone,
here's they didn't do one for the reverse boycott really,
which I think would.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Have sold very well, would have been just a picture
of the T shirt that said sell on it.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Just a terrible, a terrible job at when you're normally
really good at raking in people's moneies, that you didn't.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Take me out moneies like you're three years old? That
do you have some moneyes? I have some moneyes? Please?
I want them all now. Now you say this and
this gets into a late breaking story involved it. You know, hey,
it worked out the A's and you know, like they
can't lose. Now they have the big reverse boycott, which
is also known as attending a game. But today it
looks like the final nail in the coffin of the
(08:04):
A's staying in Oakland was actually hammered in as the
A's clear a major hurdle as the Nevada legislature gave
final approval to public funding for proportion of their proposed
one and a half billion dollar stadium that has a
retractable roof, which if you're in Vegas you need a
retractable roof. The deal needs the governor's signature. Baseball's got
(08:26):
to approve it. However, according to sources, those are expected
to go through without a hitch, and the A's are
going to move to Las Vegas. And I say this
because I look, I understand what it's like to have
a team move, right, because I watched the Whalers move
and I wasn't happy with that and watch them go
to Carolina. That it sucks. It sucks to lose a
(08:46):
team anytime there's relocation, you know, whether it's Seattle losing
the SuperSonics to Oklahoma City, it stinks. But there is
something to be said that you think things in sports
are givens, and eventually something's going to happen to change that.
And I go back to the strategy, to the philosophy
(09:09):
of hey, when two people you think they're supposed to
be together forever, and they're married, and then suddenly they
get divorced. And nobody saw it coming after like, you know,
ten fifteen years, whatever it is, because all I, my god,
I thought to be together forever, supposed together forever. And
then you think, well, maybe they were just supposed to
be together for that amount of time, not supposed to
be together forever. Why are you supposed to be together
forever all the time when there's all kinds of variables
(09:31):
that could come in. It's like going to a job.
You know, you're not at a job forever. You change jobs,
you change where you live. All these things can happen
if you're not happy, if things aren't working. So maybe
this is and I look at the A's and go,
this is just how long they were supposed to be
in Oakland because in the end, they were a small
market team that hung on for years, and moneyball helping
(09:55):
the A's hang on for years because people came to
the games, they won games, they made it to the
play playoffs, and it was something that they got maybe
twenty years more than they should have gotten because small
market teams don't really thrive for that long in sports. Now,
the Green Bay Packers are the they're the anomaly, right,
But for every Green Bay Packers, there's a Tampa Bay
(10:17):
Rays where you go in a couple of years. Are
the Rays still gonna be The Ray's still gonna be there,
They're gonna stay here, they gonna move. What's gonna happen
The A's they had a great run, but they're a
small market team. People weren't coming. The stadium is terrible.
It's a it's an absolute disgrace that this is where
you have to play. When everybody knows and and and
you have seen it that when you build a new stadium,
(10:39):
more people come. They need it.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
They need experience of the ballpark other than showing up,
sitting in your seat and buying nachos.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I mean not me. I'm a simple guy. I can
sit helmet nachos. But you see, when you make bigger
ballparks and you're able to expand the experience in major
league ballparks and football stadiums and basketball arenas, people come.
And you couldn't do this and be because there wasn't
enough money and it didn't seem like they were support
This was an inevitable conclusion. It's a relationship that went
(11:06):
really long. It was an I led what what almost
one hundred years, right, and now it's gonna be something
that ends sometime in twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five,
because this is how it goes. You can't stick around
when you're a small market team. If you don't have
people that want to pay money or expand and spend
what it takes to keep the team around, team's gonna move.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Well. It's problem is that you get as we talked
about a bit yesterday in celebrating the reverse boycott and
the monies that went into the community, right, the A's
donating all ticket sales some eight hundred and eleven thousand
dollars is what they announced.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Not a bad haul into the community efforts.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
But you know, you had ownership wanting a little bit more,
and some folks even going and holding up signs that
told people, hey, Q up this episode of Ted Lasso.
So you can have Rebecca's speech how much money do
you need? And all I ask off, And then you
have the governmental side where there's a hey, how much
does this benefit us versus cost public services?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
And all of those things.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
As you way the cost benefit analysis fandom, what it
means for the morale all of that comes into play.
Now this is the third team they've lost, and that
needs to be noted because I keep hearing the well
the Raiders in the A's don't forget they lost the
Warriors too, sure, they moved to San Francisco, and the Seals.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Don't forget about the Seals, or you can go back
to the Yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Mean the Seals did swim across and then they're over.
They're more towards up here thirty nine than they are
in Oakland. But Oakland's only four hundred and thirty three
thousand people. I knew it wasn't big. I didn't realize
it was quite that small. Now Las Vegas is another
fifty percent, plus the tourism gate plus all of that.
And if you you know the old, if you build it,
they will come. Build the state of the art facility,
(12:54):
build the retractable roof, all of these things, all the
amenities of a new ballpark opposed to THEO dot CO
where you're worrying about rats, sewage and everything else, and
the goals that will find you after that happens. All
in Oakland, they had it. It's like the birds, It's
like all over it. H Yeah, it's like the fat
(13:14):
squirrels that have an Instagram account down by in Redondo
for the high school. Okay, that they'll come get the
sandwich right out of your hand. But the birds are
the same way. Uh So it's a tough loss, and psychologically,
I know it. It hurts right, it's if you are
a huge AS fan. But to your point, you had
those teams of the seventies. You had the run of
(13:35):
money Ball and Tahara and John b and Eric Chavez
over and winning gold Glove after gold Glove. You had
some huge years the pitching staff and we talked a
lot about those guys yesterday that you get into a
bit of nostalgia, the Bash brothers and Ricky Henderson, all
of those names are are lined for history. But if
(13:57):
the only way you're getting people into a ballpark is
the reverse, you know, reverse walk out, reverse boycott, and
when you're normally averaging nine thousand fans a game, it's
not sustainable.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
It's time to move on.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
I think everybody's throwing their hands up, and those that
want to will find their way to Vegas for a
series here and there.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
It's it's the natural conclusion of the A's But We'll
always have Moneyball, all the Bash Brothers, that's right, and
the back to back to back in the seventy b
and Ricky Yeah, steal in that base and ripping the bag.
Al right, up, we'll have that. We'll always have that. Hey,
guess what, Jay, what do you got from? Let's tie
it up? Yeah, I know, I'm a little I don't know.
Do I want to turn the mets on or not?
(14:41):
It's three to three now I want to watch them,
do I not? I don't know. I don't know what
to do. I don't know, but they've tied it up now.
Maybe I'll watch it over here. Oh no, no, I'll
watch it.

(15:24):
big would you rather? Coming up? In a couple of minutes.
Everybody's getting in on this because I thought about this today.
But first, you know, people say to me all the time,
what's it like being a Mets fan? Well, let me
tell you. So, you know, we're going through this thing
in the studio where the Mets were losing. So Frostburg
turn it off. Now the Mets tied it up. Now
we can put the game back on because the Mets
are batting in the bottom of the eighth inning, and
(15:45):
the worst thing that can happen is the Mets will
go to the night that is still tied with the Yankees. No,
so we can watch it. We can watch it there.
What does it mean to be a Mets fan? Well,
someone say to me, Jake, just I mean, tell me anything.
I go. So, what do you want? Like a twenty
four hour span? Yeah, sure, I said, okay, So like
twenty four hours ago where the Mets had their second
pitcher of the season called for having illegal substances on
(16:07):
his hand and he got a ten game suspension. So
there is that, and then we had the next game.
The next night where we allowed a steal of home.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Oh yeah, and the very next inning got called for
a shift violation. Well, the second shift violation in major
League Baseball this year because second baseman was holding the
runner to the bag too close, so it was a
shift violation. This is what it means to be a
Mets fan.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Again.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I'm all for a lot of the changes in Major
League Baseball. The shift one still just bothers this in general.
What's it like being a Mets start to get a hit?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
This too? Man, Well, here's how we can legislate. This
is the crap you have to put up with to
be a Mets.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Fan's their nice little outlier moments. Because it's one thing
to say, we gave up a three run homer. Ah,
you know, the guy blooped a single in and diving
outfielder couldn't come up with a catch.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Steal of home?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
How often do you see that great steel of home?
How often do you guys getting busted repeatedly with the
sticky stuff? At some point, don't you have to ask
questions about Buck Showalter, like what are you doing over there?
It's like when you play a team, either in softball
or or in in soccer or whatever, And there's just
how far can we press the rules right in soccer?
(17:23):
How physical can we be with the forearm shiver to
the back when the ball's in the air off a
free kig?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
How much can we you know, work and tow the
lines like was it in? Was it out? Did the
ball fully?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Go out?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
All of those things and slide tackles, what's safe? What's not? Softball?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Same thing, you know, playing playing near the bag? Did
he did they have second base? Did they leave? You know,
the neighborhood rule, all of those things or whatever. Go
go into each of your mechanics of where you might
be able to steal the advantage. You know, are that
you're peering in for the signs uh and peaking at
the catcher whatever. No, you're you're losing in the margin.
(18:00):
And that's fun because if you're gonna lose, loose spectacularly,
not just routine storybooks.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
It's the same thing. Yeah, but here's the thing. I'm
already stressed eating tonight. I got I got corn nuts,
I got Colby Jack cheese cubes, and I just finished
some pasta. I'm stressed eating really good though it was
it was it was pasta was okay. It was a
little a little too spicy, but it was okay. Okay. Yeah,
so I'm going with had a good yar like sent
to it, so it was good. The nacho crunchy corn kernels,
(18:27):
corn nuts, and I have Jack cheese cubes and magia.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Jason would have would have been like, if you had
to see that shift violation lost.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I mean, thank you, yeah I should, But we can
put the game in the Mexican Actually, bet why can't
we the Mexican bat but they're bat nothing bad can happen.
I say that, and watch what have Someone's gonna go,
Someone's gonna get hurt while they're batting, and go, oh
go rounding third. He's thrown up. He was gonna win
Rookie of the Year, but now Francisco Alvarez is not
(18:57):
a uh so, No, the Mexicans said that while the
man's at bad batting it because he's batting, he's ups.
Always needs you around, man. We're gonna do our best here.
Uh so yeah. Yankee Mets Yankees Mets tied three to
three in the bottom of the eighth.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Thing.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Now let me get to my would you rather? All right,
let's go all right, and this is a is a
big thing. Come on, now, this is would you rather
everybody got?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Know me?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
You ty shirt? Frostburg Monsei. I'll have to explain a
lot of what this means, the tay shirt, because you
know he doesn't know sports.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
So I say to this, I don't think I care. No,
I think you would care if you can know something
and not care about it.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, but you would care about this, Like if I'm
giving you this that this would you rather in sports?
I think you'd like it.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Okay, Well, I can prove I know sports. The Mets sucks.
There you go, Okay, Well, but is that is that.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Only because Joey Tribiani told you so? Yes?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
But there's knowledge, and there's knowing something everybody knows. I
mean like knowing something. I could sat a song by
Leonard Cohen. I could say our country is run by
the president, and then second in command is a vice president.
Doesn't mean I really know. I just know what happens.
Sometimes I raise their hand and ass questions about that.
I might say about that suggestion, I might say, there
could you know who knows?
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
But I could say this and and and, But that
doesn't mean you know. So now we have this going on.
So I give you there are two big time openings
we have seen now in the last twenty four hours
that have become officially open. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
The Mets manager. Yeah, okay, you know. Yeah, I told
you I had had that dream that Buck Showalter called
me to help him out.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I had this. I had this dream like in the
off season that Showalter called me to help him coach
the Mets and he say, Hi, I'm Buck and I'm
here to no no, no, he called me, and I
was and like he called me, and like the dream
is weird. I don't know how how everybody dreams, but
I think it's kind of interesting to talk about a
little bit. But I have dreams where like just things
just move fast, and like it's really strange. So like
(20:50):
Showalter called me, I said yes, and then like as
soon as I hang up the phone, I'm at City
Field and he tells me, go suit up, go get go, go,
get go get fitted for your uniform. What you have
to wear on the on the on the bench of you.
I'm like, oh cool. So I go wait and I
see like whoever it is, you know, doing the uniform.
They're measuring me and or asking me how I got
the job, and I said, oh, you know, Buck called
me for it and everything else. I'm really excited about
(21:12):
helping them, coaching them, and and then I find out
that my job is to was to make the lineup
for the game, and I'm like, oh, okay, and I
wanted to find out who was pitching and all these
So I'm trying to make out the lineup as the
tailor is trying to measure me. I don't know why,
but this is how the dream goes. So he's trying
to measure me, and this is how the jail. I'm like, okay,
I'm trying to figure out the I'm trying to write
it down on the same kind of a sheet and
(21:35):
tablet that I would write the lineup on for for softball.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
And so I'm trying to write the lineup out and
then somebody comes in and says, Jason, you have to
go over here. The guardians need you more. And I said, what, go, yeah,
the guard and then Buck Showalter comes in and he
says to me, I'm sorry, the guardians need you more.
You're gonna have to go manage them instead of being
here with megel.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
But I want to be here. I want to be
the coach of the Mexico. No, the Guardians need you more.
And the tailor case saying, okay, start taking these clothes
off and we'll get you fitted for Guardians gear. That
was my dream in my dreams. It's not a nightmare.
Not only could I not even be the manager of
the Mets, I couldn't even be the coach of the Mets,
and they ship me off to Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
You know it would have been even better? Is if
Buck show Walter then hit you with the gritty as
he walked away.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Ah, so let me give you this big time openings
the last twenty four round. Yeah. Would you rather host
Wheel of Fortune? Okay? Or co host? Undisputed? Would you
rather host Wheel of Fortune? Are you writing it down
(22:42):
like like a I'm noting it down like it's a
trivia show. Let me write this down and make sure. Okay,
it's easy. Your pat say Jack or your Shannon Sharp?
Would you rather be the host the Wheel of Fortune?
Or Now? It's very simple, now is it? Because I'll
tell you where I'm going. Very simple. I'm going Wheel
of Fortune because I'm at the point in my life
(23:03):
now it's it's easy, Like they tape all the episodes,
a lot of time off, and it's a lot of
time off, and I can. I can have a lot
of fun with words because I like words and I
like puzzles, so I have a lot of fun saying.
People just love to play with words, So I think
that'd be fun. I would play along with the with
the contestants, and if I spelled it right, I get
the money instead. There's all these things. Now you come
in after forty one years.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Not only are you going to be the guy to
replace the guy you said, oh the hell with the
game you've been playing.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Now I'm the captain. Now listen, I will, I will,
I will turn Wheel of Fortune on its ear. It'll
be something completely different. It'd be a blast again playing along.
I love van I've always loved Vana. I get to
work with Vanna. And here's the other part of it,
now undisputed. I don't have to worry about the Mets
(23:49):
and the Knicks and Syracuse and the Jets. I can
just enjoy them when they win and ignore them when
they lose. Yet No, but here's the problem.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Is, you won't have an outlet by which to complain,
like because that's the thing you you'll have people filing charges.
Have to set God, this guy won't shut up about
the stuff. It's got nothing to do with work. He's
bringing this in and he's getting everybody all agitated. He's
throwing stuff around because of a shift violation. I gotta
say that with great and fastest on thes there to
(24:19):
make sure we don't screw things up and hit the
dump button.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Wheel of fortune, Wheel of fortune? What are you taking undisputed? Really?
All days? About that? Sure? Okay?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
And I'll tell you why. Okay, Number one, paychecks are
probably commensarate.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
With the money. It's money. Let's just say the money
is the same. Let's just say the money is really
good and it's the same. I would be fired. Well,
actually I'll get fired from both jobs. And I'll tell
you why. First the wheel of fortune becomes it what's
that guess? Like say Jack and going back to Trebec
on Jebity, I could say, what are you stupid? But
(24:53):
you can only go so far? You go to school?
What'd you go to college? I tell my daughter not
to go to that college. Where'd you go to school?
What are you adopte?
Speaker 3 (25:02):
That's the problem is I'd probably do that too early,
before people had just made up their minds.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
You would, you have to have to drink before you
came on the show, got your guests.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Really, as for the other given past sparring partners for
Skip Bayless, you're telling me me my sensibility, sense of humor,
random references, smart alec delivery pauses. I could blow his mind.
(25:31):
I may get fired even faster with that job. But
tell tell me that my personality and the way we
do inject.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Me into that.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Okay, a little bit, all right, our buddy Jenny. Okay,
we'll have to they'll turn off for Mike and they'll
not be able to have her on camera because you'll
be laughing so hard at the arguments coming back.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I don't think that would go exactly how you think
it would go. I don't think you would be ready
to say Skip would say no, I'm talking now, it's
my show, and then Skip would go, and then we
would they would.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Go to AM after and because I think there's different,
it would be skipping Mike.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Yeah if I if I get the and then it's.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
My show too, all right, all right, Frostburg, Oh this
is very very simple, Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I get to hang out with Vanna White or skip baylists. Yes,
I'm gonna retire. Now you're gonna add the neo baby? No, no,
no, no no. Van only is retired because I think they're
going to push her out. I would keep Vanna because
I like Van. I would keep Van a round a
legacy playing and I mean she's likable. Yeah, it's very
simple for me. I mean unless I could bring in
Monsy Monty, would I'll do that? What do you think, Mancy?
(26:34):
What would you pick? Hosting Wheel of Fortune or closing undisputed?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
No question? Wheel of Fortune?
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Fortune? Yes, it's been You could be my Vanna White?
Sure if necessary. He can't reach the lot letters even
have hair. I'm taller than Monson. I'm like, I'm like,
than let's go back to that screwy. Can you be Van?
I can't say that to her? How told you that?
Speaker 3 (27:03):
On?
Speaker 1 (27:03):
You? What any think Venta White's like six nine, She's
like five six Van. And then you add the heel.
She's wearing a heel. Yeah, wears a wig.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
But I'm five to nine without it, and I could
wear my Adida sneakers that have the good things on
the bottom.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
So I'm going a little bit. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Shape yeah, no, not shape up. I used to wear
shape ups. They were they were actually cool.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Now you know what little spring loaded.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Looks? Really?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
He is bouncing up the press the letters on the
top row. All right, tyser, where are you wh'll afford?
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I'm sorry? Do you know wheel of Fortune is? Yeah,
it's a wheel you spin you ass see if you're
fortunate or not?
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Right?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, exactly, yes, Okay, that's the other one.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
And hosting voltage regulator what's to do regulates the voice?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
The one hosting undisputed? Who's the host with me on? There? Skip?
Speaker 4 (27:52):
I can't do that one? Well, okay, you know what
I saw. There's an opening for Ben Maller. I'll take
the third choice.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Wait what well not not Ben's job?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
No, like, because Roberto's gone, So I'll take that third choice.
Oh no, see this is not would you rather or no?
This is everywhere else there's either I want to hear
people say dumb stuff. I'll do the wheel fortune. That
sounds fun.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah, I mean the other one. I see what you
did there. I I don't see that. I try. I try.
That was good. I like that.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
That was good wordsmithing, right, Okay, so Wheel and you
went on Dispute.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
I'm going very predictable, very predictable if you're going undisputed.
By the way, that that was the most predictable thing
if I could have gone to Vegas. I don't want
a lot of money harm and so going on dispaited well.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Knowing that, So we're gonna tell me how you know
air you dighte and uh you know learning that you
are in terms of your vocabulary with learning.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
With an I D I D Okay, So Manci's going
wheel Frostburg's wheel and Ty shoot his wheel.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yes, I mean, look, I have to be the contray.
Isn't that what I would be doing on Undisputed? I'd
arguing sure, and sometimes it seems you draw things out
of a hat and then you argue from that.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Okay, all right, Twitter and how about a Fresco? Mike
gets swollen down the Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Carbett. So they go, would you rather host
Wheel of Fortune or co host on Disputed? Do you
got any other choices? That's it, That's that's would you rather?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I would be back on the Fox lot on Pico though,
So I get back to Moe's oh, studio stores pro cool. Okay,
I go on the back lots hangout.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I'm pretty sure if you're the host of Wheel of Fortune,
they'd allow you on there too. They allow you there
a more time to hang out too, more likely more
time to hang out doing Wheel. Do you like eleven
thousand shows in four days? You know I'm done.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I'm done for the years I taped everything really tired
on the Friday.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

(30:17):
and Yankees three three in the ninth inning this story
the stress going, uh yeah, the stress. Now I realize
I'm not stress eating, I'm just hungry, So that that's
kind of what. Yeah, it's not the stress eating. I'm
just hungry. Going to the tenth after a strikeout of
Eduardo Escobar, surprise, Escobar strikes out Yankees and Mets. Now
(30:37):
going to the tenth.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Well, you made a nice play to close out the top.
He did nine, so I mean that was good.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
How many times have you seen it? The guy who
makes a nice play to close inning strikes out to
end the last next one happens all the time. This
story courtesy of Pro Football Talk.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
That and it involves gambling and the National Football League,
as we've seen players now who have been suspended for
gambling for illegally gambling.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
On football and other sports. Jamison Williams has a six
game suspension. A bunch of players from Detroit happened to
watch Calvin Ridley get reinstated after a year away because
he was battling illegally. And there's a story that Mike
Florio's got on Pro Football Talk that one NFL player
lost eight million dollars in gambling last season, lost eight million.
(31:28):
So you know, it's got to be a player that
a makes a lot of money to be able to
lose eight million dollars. You might not, well, I don't
know it.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Might be why it's a story because people are freaking out.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Now he owes people on the streets. Yeah, but to
books age else but to bookies really do that?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Hey, you got it? I need that because that's allways
do in the movies. Hey, I let you slide. I
gave you your marker. Now I need that money. Soon
it's gonna come do Like, does that really happen? Well,
don't you have to just pay? Hey, I'm good for it. No,
you gotta you gotta send the money if you want
to gamble on this, right, would one would think eventually?
I think it's like the old days now.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
I think it still exists, but it's just probably not
at the level where you're betting eight million dollars.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I gotta imagine there's something else going on eight million
dollars now. They and the thing is they always say
the house wins, right. I can't think of an NFL
player who, first of all, you gotta be a really
bad better if you're gonna lose eight million dollars, well,
I mean you or you're betting on the Jets every week.
That's not true too. But because I gotta think that
you know, at some point there's a way out of it.
(32:29):
Like you know, like some pod, you're gonna get something right, right,
I mean, you're gonna get you. I mean even you
get to the point where, boy, I've not been right
at all. Whatever I think, I'm just gonna go the
other way. You're gonna go to Costanzos, start winning whatever,
go the other way. No, it is the curiosity though, right,
I mean, because you watch anything having to do with Vegas. Again,
going back to all your references, Uh, is the idea
(32:50):
that we don't have enough cash on hand. If this
guy goes on a run at the lat jack table,
or at the crafts table, or over on roulette, this
gets ugly in a hurry, same thing here.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
You would think eventually you get back to even that.
But that's the problem with betting is the house always
has the advantage. Yeah, but here's the thing. Now, now
I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna take the other side
on this. Now, this guy lost eight million dollars. We
don't know how many bets, right, Let's just say he'd
lost eight million dollars, don't I if I if he
and I start betting, and I just go the opposite way.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Of him on any bet, don't I win? Eight million dollars?
Are and I up? Don't I beat the house? If
that's the case. If I just go opposite of everything
somebody is doing and he loses eight million, don't I win?
Seems like you would be on a phenomenal runner.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
I mean I would win, right, Maybe that's the right
way to better that. Maybe that's the right way to bet.
What you think, But just go against somebody who's a
bad better and you could win with the same dollar amount. Yeah,
oh yeah, yeah, h well it doesn't Well even if
I'm if he bets a thousand dollars, I be one hundred,
I still will You're still I just win less?
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Right? I can be that way if I find a
bad gambler and I just go opposite of him or
her in every single bet, don't I win?
Speaker 2 (34:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (34:02):
But here's the problem.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
I don't know. There's gonna be a bunch of wins
mixed in there, But there there's much smaller than the losses.
He did it, you know the sure thing that you bet? Ah,
this is obvious. Look they're mismatched. Oh wait, these three
guys didn't play in this NBA game and they're waving
to me from the bet. But I would say, boy,
that's a bet. Bet well. But if you bet it
(34:23):
at you in the afternoon and then all of a
sudden at five third it's like hello, it would be
less but I'd still win.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
I would say, you know what, we got more on
this and more in a big story out of the
NBA coming up next. Keep it right here, Chasing and
Mike Fox

I'm just gonna say this now. Yeah, i feel like
every night the last couple of weeks, I'm saying to myself,
I'm watching the end of the Mets season like I'm
(00:59):
watching the season's ending. I'm watching the end this game.
This is the game tonight. This really feels like the
end of that.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Are you gonna change the word killing me softly to
killing those slowly.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
No, it is killing me with a big old rusty axe.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
And it's appropriate that we had the open about stealing,
like stealing home plate. Yeah, the Mets trail the Yankees
three to one. Garrett Cole and Justin Verlander, great pitchers,
duel for a while. That's breakthrough with.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
A run three to one on Yankees breakthrough with a
couple and the Yankees score their third run because they
straight steal home. Yeah, Brooks Raley, who has a very
let's just say, deliberate motion to the plate though, Yeah, no,
And he's been good this year. He has been under three.
(01:47):
Isaiah Kiner Falifa was on third and ik f is
able to steal home And here's the best part. He's
three quarters of the way to home plate and Raley
still has the ball in his hand. Well, he is
fast as three quarters of the way to the plate
and Raley still has not thrown the ball.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
He's a guy that outside of New York nobody's ever
heard of. Now he's a full kiro now oh yeah, yeah,
now I can't. He's everywhere and it's only appropriate that
he's blazing down the third base line as we get
ready for the premiere of The Flash see it all
comes together.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah yeah, I'm not not not nearly as happy as
you are about that, but I am film hero. Watching
him rail down the line, I feel like this is like,
this is the game that's gonna be the end of
the season, like like that, this is the one that
this is the one, not the one before, not the
one before the listen well, the series against the Braves,
I thought, well, that's going to be absolutely it. But
this getting swept by the Yankees and seeing your pitting,
(02:44):
now that this is gonna be it. So what So
what happens?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Uh? Does Walt come waltzing in the door going la
la la, He'll launch you.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
He's gonna bothered you yet. No, he's gonna walk into
you know that that gift that's uh of Vince McMahon.
Why that's how my dad walks walks into my house
before he blew out both of the squads. Yeah, and
he comes in. He'll have his Yankee hat, he'll have
a Yankee shirt. Oh yeah, yeah, you walk no slides
(03:13):
right in, Hey, hey get me up? No, no, no,
He'll he'll come in like like he owns the house,
like like he I'm the lamp landlord, and I'm here
to see you guys, like that's how we'll walk in. Wow,
that's what he does. I haven't seen him, haven't seen
him in probably I saw him this weekend game. Uh
do check in? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we text, but
(03:36):
you know I saw him this weekend. I haven't seen him,
and I know he's waiting for the end of the
subway Father's Day gift. He's waiting like you, I'm done
with this. He's waiting. He's waiting, waiting, waiting, He's checking in. Yeah,
have you checked in on your blood brother Frank?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You know, Frank the tank is not going to be
happy after tonight. I I don't know what to do.
I would say, we call and get Frank on this
sh but that good. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I don't want to only we had good friends like
you do here in the studio. We are now doctors here.
You've turned them GIOE.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I got some kind of crazy ass horror movie which
I don't know what it is. Then I don't know,
I don't know what. There's a commercial, and then Lord
of the Rings is on. That's the four Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
White Sox are getting ready to start. But because your
game was rain delayed, I have to believe at some
point you were really excited that you were gonna get
rained out.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Is that the game wouldn't be playing? Is that? What
we have on is that we have ESPN two, We
have the that what's on right now? Okay, So because
you bums are on ESPN, you guys haven't finished your game.
We have Dodgers pregame, a horror movie from the eighties
which I can't decipher Justice, which kind of upsetting me
a little bit. Jason, it's Friday the thirteenth. Come on,
it's not it's a Friday.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
No, it's off Friday the thirteenth. You've always asked for
it one of them? Is it one of the Friday
the thirteenth. It's got Dudley in it.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Okay, it's Friday the twelfth, Arlod Jackson's old friend Dudley.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Well, you know, you know, Saturday the fourteenth is movie.
It is a real thing. That's true with Richard Benjamin. Yeah.
By the way, our guy Frank just for an update
about a minute ago. Quote, sorry, my PC won't let
me go live. Need to prepare for podcast anywhere.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, gotta get ready, gotta get ready, gotta give everybody
for the reaction shot. So how do you feel about
the new role here in the studio, no more games?
I don't know. We gotta see, we gotta see how
it goes. I gotta see if if this is something
that I see, how I feel. I gotta say it.
It's kind of like if the doctor says, hey, try
the CPAP machine for a month and then see how
you feel after you use this for a month. Maybe
(05:37):
you'll feel better, maybe you'll feel the same, maybe you
will notice a difference. I gotta see. I'm kind of
shrug and I wentah, didn't do much for me. Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
This is kind of like reading a couple of articles
on the interwebs and deciding you're now a clinician and
just saying, you know what, I got this figured out.
This is how we keep Jason. He's already happy, he's
already breathing.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
It is it is. It's like that one time he
didn't have a sandwich for five minutes. So yeah, so
this is I suffered the same fad. So I understand.
I don't know how I feel. Should I want to
watch the Mets now that it's three to two for
your health, and the bases are loaded in the bottom
of the seventh inning. Should I want to watch them?
Or is it better to not have them on? And
(06:19):
maybe me not watching makes them maybe some kind of
bizarre A's thing where the A's fans start going to
the games, they start winning. They were away from the games,
they were losing. Now they can't lose. Maybe it's the
whole thing. I need to not watch the Mets. And
you know what just happened. The Mets scored on it's
three two. I'm okay, I'll let this go right now,
(06:40):
I'll let this go. I'll let this play out for
a little bit here, three to two, bottom of the
seventh bases loaded too out. Sure, I'll let this play out.
A little bit excited. That's exciting. By the way, Hey,
I suck it. I listen, I'll suck it up. I
am so pro Mets. I will not watch them if
it means we can win. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I mean, we had the reverse boycott last night. The
last two evenings on the program, we have crowned champions.
So what kind of excitement do we have today? I
will say this, I want to call it out because
I love my collectibles industry and some of the cool
innovations they do, and Panini and Tops that both had
these things where they do great tributes to big events
(07:16):
and put out a limited a dish, right, you can
order this for twenty four hours and then there's number
of parallels whatever. Somehow Tops in their tops now, so
yesterday were a number of cards, right, here's a milestone,
here's they didn't do one for the reverse boycott really,
which I think would.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Have sold very well, would have been just a picture
of the T shirt that said sell on it.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Just a terrible, a terrible job at when you're normally
really good at raking in people's moneies, that you didn't.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Take me out moneies like you're three years old? That
do you have some moneyes? I have some moneyes? Please?
I want them all now. Now you say this and
this gets into a late breaking story involved it. You know, hey,
it worked out the A's and you know, like they
can't lose. Now they have the big reverse boycott, which
is also known as attending a game. But today it
looks like the final nail in the coffin of the
(08:04):
A's staying in Oakland was actually hammered in as the
A's clear a major hurdle as the Nevada legislature gave
final approval to public funding for proportion of their proposed
one and a half billion dollar stadium that has a
retractable roof, which if you're in Vegas you need a
retractable roof. The deal needs the governor's signature. Baseball's got
(08:26):
to approve it. However, according to sources, those are expected
to go through without a hitch, and the A's are
going to move to Las Vegas. And I say this
because I look, I understand what it's like to have
a team move, right, because I watched the Whalers move
and I wasn't happy with that and watch them go
to Carolina. That it sucks. It sucks to lose a
(08:46):
team anytime there's relocation, you know, whether it's Seattle losing
the SuperSonics to Oklahoma City, it stinks. But there is
something to be said that you think things in sports
are givens, and eventually something's going to happen to change that.
And I go back to the strategy, to the philosophy
(09:09):
of hey, when two people you think they're supposed to
be together forever, and they're married, and then suddenly they
get divorced. And nobody saw it coming after like, you know,
ten fifteen years, whatever it is, because all I, my god,
I thought to be together forever, supposed together forever. And
then you think, well, maybe they were just supposed to
be together for that amount of time, not supposed to
be together forever. Why are you supposed to be together
forever all the time when there's all kinds of variables
(09:31):
that could come in. It's like going to a job.
You know, you're not at a job forever. You change jobs,
you change where you live. All these things can happen
if you're not happy, if things aren't working. So maybe
this is and I look at the A's and go,
this is just how long they were supposed to be
in Oakland because in the end, they were a small
market team that hung on for years, and moneyball helping
(09:55):
the A's hang on for years because people came to
the games, they won games, they made it to the
play playoffs, and it was something that they got maybe
twenty years more than they should have gotten because small
market teams don't really thrive for that long in sports. Now,
the Green Bay Packers are the they're the anomaly, right,
But for every Green Bay Packers, there's a Tampa Bay
(10:17):
Rays where you go in a couple of years. Are
the Rays still gonna be The Ray's still gonna be there,
They're gonna stay here, they gonna move. What's gonna happen
The A's they had a great run, but they're a
small market team. People weren't coming. The stadium is terrible.
It's a it's an absolute disgrace that this is where
you have to play. When everybody knows and and and
you have seen it that when you build a new stadium,
(10:39):
more people come. They need it.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
They need experience of the ballpark other than showing up,
sitting in your seat and buying nachos.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I mean not me. I'm a simple guy. I can
sit helmet nachos. But you see, when you make bigger
ballparks and you're able to expand the experience in major
league ballparks and football stadiums and basketball arenas, people come.
And you couldn't do this and be because there wasn't
enough money and it didn't seem like they were support
This was an inevitable conclusion. It's a relationship that went
(11:06):
really long. It was an I led what what almost
one hundred years, right, and now it's gonna be something
that ends sometime in twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five,
because this is how it goes. You can't stick around
when you're a small market team. If you don't have
people that want to pay money or expand and spend
what it takes to keep the team around, team's gonna move.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Well. It's problem is that you get as we talked
about a bit yesterday in celebrating the reverse boycott and
the monies that went into the community, right, the A's
donating all ticket sales some eight hundred and eleven thousand
dollars is what they announced.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Not a bad haul into the community efforts.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
But you know, you had ownership wanting a little bit more,
and some folks even going and holding up signs that
told people, hey, Q up this episode of Ted Lasso.
So you can have Rebecca's speech how much money do
you need? And all I ask off, And then you
have the governmental side where there's a hey, how much
does this benefit us versus cost public services?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
And all of those things.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
As you way the cost benefit analysis fandom, what it
means for the morale all of that comes into play.
Now this is the third team they've lost, and that
needs to be noted because I keep hearing the well
the Raiders in the A's don't forget they lost the
Warriors too, sure, they moved to San Francisco, and the Seals.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Don't forget about the Seals, or you can go back
to the Yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Mean the Seals did swim across and then they're over.
They're more towards up here thirty nine than they are
in Oakland. But Oakland's only four hundred and thirty three
thousand people. I knew it wasn't big. I didn't realize
it was quite that small. Now Las Vegas is another
fifty percent, plus the tourism gate plus all of that.
And if you you know the old, if you build it,
they will come. Build the state of the art facility,
(12:54):
build the retractable roof, all of these things, all the
amenities of a new ballpark opposed to THEO dot CO
where you're worrying about rats, sewage and everything else, and
the goals that will find you after that happens. All
in Oakland, they had it. It's like the birds, It's
like all over it. H Yeah, it's like the fat
(13:14):
squirrels that have an Instagram account down by in Redondo
for the high school. Okay, that they'll come get the
sandwich right out of your hand. But the birds are
the same way. Uh So it's a tough loss, and psychologically,
I know it. It hurts right, it's if you are
a huge AS fan. But to your point, you had
those teams of the seventies. You had the run of
(13:35):
money Ball and Tahara and John b and Eric Chavez
over and winning gold Glove after gold Glove. You had
some huge years the pitching staff and we talked a
lot about those guys yesterday that you get into a
bit of nostalgia, the Bash brothers and Ricky Henderson, all
of those names are are lined for history. But if
(13:57):
the only way you're getting people into a ballpark is
the reverse, you know, reverse walk out, reverse boycott, and
when you're normally averaging nine thousand fans a game, it's
not sustainable.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
It's time to move on.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
I think everybody's throwing their hands up, and those that
want to will find their way to Vegas for a
series here and there.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
It's it's the natural conclusion of the A's But We'll
always have Moneyball, all the Bash Brothers, that's right, and
the back to back to back in the seventy b
and Ricky Yeah, steal in that base and ripping the bag.
Al right, up, we'll have that. We'll always have that. Hey,
guess what, Jay, what do you got from? Let's tie
it up? Yeah, I know, I'm a little I don't know.
Do I want to turn the mets on or not?
(14:41):
It's three to three now I want to watch them,
do I not? I don't know. I don't know what
to do. I don't know, but they've tied it up now.
Maybe I'll watch it over here. Oh no, no, I'll
watch it.

(15:24):
big would you rather? Coming up? In a couple of minutes.
Everybody's getting in on this because I thought about this today.
But first, you know, people say to me all the time,
what's it like being a Mets fan? Well, let me
tell you. So, you know, we're going through this thing
in the studio where the Mets were losing. So Frostburg
turn it off. Now the Mets tied it up. Now
we can put the game back on because the Mets
are batting in the bottom of the eighth inning, and
(15:45):
the worst thing that can happen is the Mets will
go to the night that is still tied with the Yankees. No,
so we can watch it. We can watch it there.
What does it mean to be a Mets fan? Well,
someone say to me, Jake, just I mean, tell me anything.
I go. So, what do you want? Like a twenty
four hour span? Yeah, sure, I said, okay, So like
twenty four hours ago where the Mets had their second
pitcher of the season called for having illegal substances on
(16:07):
his hand and he got a ten game suspension. So
there is that, and then we had the next game.
The next night where we allowed a steal of home.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Oh yeah, and the very next inning got called for
a shift violation. Well, the second shift violation in major
League Baseball this year because second baseman was holding the
runner to the bag too close, so it was a
shift violation. This is what it means to be a
Mets fan.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Again.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I'm all for a lot of the changes in Major
League Baseball. The shift one still just bothers this in general.
What's it like being a Mets start to get a hit?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
This too? Man, Well, here's how we can legislate. This
is the crap you have to put up with to
be a Mets.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Fan's their nice little outlier moments. Because it's one thing
to say, we gave up a three run homer. Ah,
you know, the guy blooped a single in and diving
outfielder couldn't come up with a catch.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Steal of home?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
How often do you see that great steel of home?
How often do you guys getting busted repeatedly with the
sticky stuff? At some point, don't you have to ask
questions about Buck Showalter, like what are you doing over there?
It's like when you play a team, either in softball
or or in in soccer or whatever, And there's just
how far can we press the rules right in soccer?
(17:23):
How physical can we be with the forearm shiver to
the back when the ball's in the air off a
free kig?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
How much can we you know, work and tow the
lines like was it in? Was it out? Did the
ball fully?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Go out?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
All of those things and slide tackles, what's safe? What's not? Softball?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Same thing, you know, playing playing near the bag? Did
he did they have second base? Did they leave? You know,
the neighborhood rule, all of those things or whatever. Go
go into each of your mechanics of where you might
be able to steal the advantage. You know, are that
you're peering in for the signs uh and peaking at
the catcher whatever. No, you're you're losing in the margin.
(18:00):
And that's fun because if you're gonna lose, loose spectacularly,
not just routine storybooks.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
It's the same thing. Yeah, but here's the thing. I'm
already stressed eating tonight. I got I got corn nuts,
I got Colby Jack cheese cubes, and I just finished
some pasta. I'm stressed eating really good though it was
it was it was pasta was okay. It was a
little a little too spicy, but it was okay. Okay. Yeah,
so I'm going with had a good yar like sent
to it, so it was good. The nacho crunchy corn kernels,
(18:27):
corn nuts, and I have Jack cheese cubes and magia.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Jason would have would have been like, if you had
to see that shift violation lost.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I mean, thank you, yeah I should, But we can
put the game in the Mexican Actually, bet why can't
we the Mexican bat but they're bat nothing bad can happen.
I say that, and watch what have Someone's gonna go,
Someone's gonna get hurt while they're batting, and go, oh
go rounding third. He's thrown up. He was gonna win
Rookie of the Year, but now Francisco Alvarez is not
(18:57):
a uh so, No, the Mexicans said that while the
man's at bad batting it because he's batting, he's ups.
Always needs you around, man. We're gonna do our best here.
Uh so yeah. Yankee Mets Yankees Mets tied three to
three in the bottom of the eighth.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Thing.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Now let me get to my would you rather? All right,
let's go all right, and this is a is a
big thing. Come on, now, this is would you rather
everybody got?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Know me?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
You ty shirt? Frostburg Monsei. I'll have to explain a
lot of what this means, the tay shirt, because you
know he doesn't know sports.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
So I say to this, I don't think I care. No,
I think you would care if you can know something
and not care about it.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, but you would care about this, Like if I'm
giving you this that this would you rather in sports?
I think you'd like it.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Okay, Well, I can prove I know sports. The Mets sucks.
There you go, Okay, Well, but is that is that.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Only because Joey Tribiani told you so? Yes?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
But there's knowledge, and there's knowing something everybody knows. I
mean like knowing something. I could sat a song by
Leonard Cohen. I could say our country is run by
the president, and then second in command is a vice president.
Doesn't mean I really know. I just know what happens.
Sometimes I raise their hand and ass questions about that.
I might say about that suggestion, I might say, there
could you know who knows?
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
But I could say this and and and, But that
doesn't mean you know. So now we have this going on.
So I give you there are two big time openings
we have seen now in the last twenty four hours
that have become officially open. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
The Mets manager. Yeah, okay, you know. Yeah, I told
you I had had that dream that Buck Showalter called
me to help him out.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I had this. I had this dream like in the
off season that Showalter called me to help him coach
the Mets and he say, Hi, I'm Buck and I'm
here to no no, no, he called me, and I
was and like he called me, and like the dream
is weird. I don't know how how everybody dreams, but
I think it's kind of interesting to talk about a
little bit. But I have dreams where like just things
just move fast, and like it's really strange. So like
(20:50):
Showalter called me, I said yes, and then like as
soon as I hang up the phone, I'm at City
Field and he tells me, go suit up, go get go, go,
get go get fitted for your uniform. What you have
to wear on the on the on the bench of you.
I'm like, oh cool. So I go wait and I
see like whoever it is, you know, doing the uniform.
They're measuring me and or asking me how I got
the job, and I said, oh, you know, Buck called
me for it and everything else. I'm really excited about
(21:12):
helping them, coaching them, and and then I find out
that my job is to was to make the lineup
for the game, and I'm like, oh, okay, and I
wanted to find out who was pitching and all these
So I'm trying to make out the lineup as the
tailor is trying to measure me. I don't know why,
but this is how the dream goes. So he's trying
to measure me, and this is how the jail. I'm like, okay,
I'm trying to figure out the I'm trying to write
it down on the same kind of a sheet and
(21:35):
tablet that I would write the lineup on for for softball.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
And so I'm trying to write the lineup out and
then somebody comes in and says, Jason, you have to
go over here. The guardians need you more. And I said, what, go, yeah,
the guard and then Buck Showalter comes in and he
says to me, I'm sorry, the guardians need you more.
You're gonna have to go manage them instead of being
here with megel.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
But I want to be here. I want to be
the coach of the Mexico. No, the Guardians need you more.
And the tailor case saying, okay, start taking these clothes
off and we'll get you fitted for Guardians gear. That
was my dream in my dreams. It's not a nightmare.
Not only could I not even be the manager of
the Mets, I couldn't even be the coach of the Mets,
and they ship me off to Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
You know it would have been even better? Is if
Buck show Walter then hit you with the gritty as
he walked away.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Ah, so let me give you this big time openings
the last twenty four round. Yeah. Would you rather host
Wheel of Fortune? Okay? Or co host? Undisputed? Would you
rather host Wheel of Fortune? Are you writing it down
(22:42):
like like a I'm noting it down like it's a
trivia show. Let me write this down and make sure. Okay,
it's easy. Your pat say Jack or your Shannon Sharp?
Would you rather be the host the Wheel of Fortune?
Or Now? It's very simple, now is it? Because I'll
tell you where I'm going. Very simple. I'm going Wheel
of Fortune because I'm at the point in my life
(23:03):
now it's it's easy, Like they tape all the episodes,
a lot of time off, and it's a lot of
time off, and I can. I can have a lot
of fun with words because I like words and I
like puzzles, so I have a lot of fun saying.
People just love to play with words, So I think
that'd be fun. I would play along with the with
the contestants, and if I spelled it right, I get
the money instead. There's all these things. Now you come
in after forty one years.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Not only are you going to be the guy to
replace the guy you said, oh the hell with the
game you've been playing.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Now I'm the captain. Now listen, I will, I will,
I will turn Wheel of Fortune on its ear. It'll
be something completely different. It'd be a blast again playing along.
I love van I've always loved Vana. I get to
work with Vanna. And here's the other part of it,
now undisputed. I don't have to worry about the Mets
(23:49):
and the Knicks and Syracuse and the Jets. I can
just enjoy them when they win and ignore them when
they lose. Yet No, but here's the problem.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Is, you won't have an outlet by which to complain,
like because that's the thing you you'll have people filing charges.
Have to set God, this guy won't shut up about
the stuff. It's got nothing to do with work. He's
bringing this in and he's getting everybody all agitated. He's
throwing stuff around because of a shift violation. I gotta
say that with great and fastest on thes there to
(24:19):
make sure we don't screw things up and hit the
dump button.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Wheel of fortune, Wheel of fortune? What are you taking undisputed? Really?
All days? About that? Sure? Okay?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
And I'll tell you why. Okay, Number one, paychecks are
probably commensarate.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
With the money. It's money. Let's just say the money
is the same. Let's just say the money is really
good and it's the same. I would be fired. Well,
actually I'll get fired from both jobs. And I'll tell
you why. First the wheel of fortune becomes it what's
that guess? Like say Jack and going back to Trebec
on Jebity, I could say, what are you stupid? But
(24:53):
you can only go so far? You go to school?
What'd you go to college? I tell my daughter not
to go to that college. Where'd you go to school?
What are you adopte?
Speaker 3 (25:02):
That's the problem is I'd probably do that too early,
before people had just made up their minds.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
You would, you have to have to drink before you
came on the show, got your guests.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Really, as for the other given past sparring partners for
Skip Bayless, you're telling me me my sensibility, sense of humor,
random references, smart alec delivery pauses. I could blow his mind.
(25:31):
I may get fired even faster with that job. But
tell tell me that my personality and the way we
do inject.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Me into that.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Okay, a little bit, all right, our buddy Jenny. Okay,
we'll have to they'll turn off for Mike and they'll
not be able to have her on camera because you'll
be laughing so hard at the arguments coming back.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I don't think that would go exactly how you think
it would go. I don't think you would be ready
to say Skip would say no, I'm talking now, it's
my show, and then Skip would go, and then we
would they would.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Go to AM after and because I think there's different,
it would be skipping Mike.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Yeah if I if I get the and then it's.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
My show too, all right, all right, Frostburg, Oh this
is very very simple, Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I get to hang out with Vanna White or skip baylists. Yes,
I'm gonna retire. Now you're gonna add the neo baby? No, no,
no, no no. Van only is retired because I think they're
going to push her out. I would keep Vanna because
I like Van. I would keep Van a round a
legacy playing and I mean she's likable. Yeah, it's very
simple for me. I mean unless I could bring in
Monsy Monty, would I'll do that? What do you think, Mancy?
(26:34):
What would you pick? Hosting Wheel of Fortune or closing undisputed?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
No question? Wheel of Fortune?
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Fortune? Yes, it's been You could be my Vanna White?
Sure if necessary. He can't reach the lot letters even
have hair. I'm taller than Monson. I'm like, I'm like,
than let's go back to that screwy. Can you be Van?
I can't say that to her? How told you that?
Speaker 3 (27:03):
On?
Speaker 1 (27:03):
You? What any think Venta White's like six nine, She's
like five six Van. And then you add the heel.
She's wearing a heel. Yeah, wears a wig.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
But I'm five to nine without it, and I could
wear my Adida sneakers that have the good things on
the bottom.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
So I'm going a little bit. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Shape yeah, no, not shape up. I used to wear
shape ups. They were they were actually cool.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Now you know what little spring loaded.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Looks? Really?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
He is bouncing up the press the letters on the
top row. All right, tyser, where are you wh'll afford?
Speaker 1 (27:35):

And hosting voltage regulator what's to do regulates the voice?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
The one hosting undisputed? Who's the host with me on? There? Skip?
Speaker 4 (27:52):
I can't do that one? Well, okay, you know what
I saw. There's an opening for Ben Maller. I'll take
the third choice.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Wait what well not not Ben's job?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
No, like, because Roberto's gone, So I'll take that third choice.
Oh no, see this is not would you rather or no?
This is everywhere else there's either I want to hear
people say dumb stuff. I'll do the wheel fortune. That
sounds fun.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah, I mean the other one. I see what you
did there. I I don't see that. I try. I try.
That was good. I like that.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
That was good wordsmithing, right, Okay, so Wheel and you
went on Dispute.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
I'm going very predictable, very predictable if you're going undisputed.
By the way, that that was the most predictable thing
if I could have gone to Vegas. I don't want
a lot of money harm and so going on dispaited well.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Knowing that, So we're gonna tell me how you know
air you dighte and uh you know learning that you

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yes, I mean, look, I have to be the contray.
Isn't that what I would be doing on Undisputed? I'd
arguing sure, and sometimes it seems you draw things out
of a hat and then you argue from that.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Okay, all right, Twitter and how about a Fresco? Mike
gets swollen down the Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Carbett. So they go, would you rather host
Wheel of Fortune or co host on Disputed? Do you

time to hang out doing Wheel. Do you like eleven

On football and other sports. Jamison Williams has a six
game suspension. A bunch of players from Detroit happened to
watch Calvin Ridley get reinstated after a year away because
he was battling illegally. And there's a story that Mike
Florio's got on Pro Football Talk that one NFL player
lost eight million dollars in gambling last season, lost eight million.
(31:28):
So you know, it's got to be a player that
a makes a lot of money to be able to
lose eight million dollars. You might not, well, I don't
know it.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Might be why it's a story because people are freaking out.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Now he owes people on the streets. Yeah, but to
books age else but to bookies really do that?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Hey, you got it? I need that because that's allways
do in the movies. Hey, I let you slide. I
gave you your marker. Now I need that money. Soon
it's gonna come do Like, does that really happen? Well,
don't you have to just pay? Hey, I'm good for it. No,
you gotta you gotta send the money if you want
to gamble on this, right, would one would think eventually?
I think it's like the old days now.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
I think it still exists, but it's just probably not
at the level where you're betting eight million dollars.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I gotta imagine there's something else going on eight million
dollars now. They and the thing is they always say
the house wins, right. I can't think of an NFL
player who, first of all, you gotta be a really
bad better if you're gonna lose eight million dollars, well,
I mean you or you're betting on the Jets every week.
That's not true too. But because I gotta think that
you know, at some point there's a way out of it.
(32:29):
Like you know, like some pod, you're gonna get something right, right,
I mean, you're gonna get you. I mean even you
get to the point where, boy, I've not been right
at all. Whatever I think, I'm just gonna go the
other way. You're gonna go to Costanzos, start winning whatever,
go the other way. No, it is the curiosity though, right,
I mean, because you watch anything having to do with Vegas. Again,
going back to all your references, Uh, is the idea
(32:50):
that we don't have enough cash on hand. If this
guy goes on a run at the lat jack table,
or at the crafts table, or over on roulette, this
gets ugly in a hurry, same thing here.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
You would think eventually you get back to even that.
But that's the problem with betting is the house always
has the advantage. Yeah, but here's the thing. Now, now
I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna take the other side
on this. Now, this guy lost eight million dollars. We
don't know how many bets, right, Let's just say he'd
lost eight million dollars, don't I if I if he
and I start betting, and I just go the opposite way.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Of him on any bet, don't I win? Eight million dollars?
Are and I up? Don't I beat the house? If
that's the case. If I just go opposite of everything
somebody is doing and he loses eight million, don't I win?
Seems like you would be on a phenomenal runner.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
I mean I would win, right, Maybe that's the right
way to better that. Maybe that's the right way to bet.
What you think, But just go against somebody who's a
bad better and you could win with the same dollar amount. Yeah,
oh yeah, yeah, h well it doesn't Well even if
I'm if he bets a thousand dollars, I be one hundred,
I still will You're still I just win less?
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Right? I can be that way if I find a
bad gambler and I just go opposite of him or
her in every single bet, don't I win?
Speaker 2 (34:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (34:02):
But here's the problem.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
I don't know. There's gonna be a bunch of wins
mixed in there, But there there's much smaller than the losses.
He did it, you know the sure thing that you bet? Ah,
this is obvious. Look they're mismatched. Oh wait, these three
guys didn't play in this NBA game and they're waving
to me from the bet. But I would say, boy,
that's a bet. Bet well. But if you bet it
(34:23):
at you in the afternoon and then all of a
sudden at five third it's like hello, it would be
less but I'd still win.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
I would say, you know what, we got more on
this and more in a big story out of the
NBA coming up next. Keep it right here, Chasing and
