Hey, this is Cliff Floyd.

to one. Try and check us out on the iHeart
(00:48):
Radio app. Man, So listen, because it's been a few weeks.
So I have to tell you that I got constructive
criticism from a fan.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Okay, yes, I guess.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
The last episode we did, it was like a weird
rainy day and we were talking about my mall extravaganza
alone with my cologne, and then that led to the
conversation on pizza and sandwiches. This listener was like, dude,
stop doing that, Like I don't want any I don't care.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Straight up.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
She was like, that was the most boring thing I
think I've ever listened to in my entire life.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
And I'm like, well, thank you what what was the
boring part of the pizza sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Us rambling on about why good pizza places have one
or the other.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
She's just like, I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I was like, well, can you relate, right, But she's
just like, I don't know whether it was someone that
didn't order sandwiches, Like no, Like, what pizza place do
you go to and do they also have good sandwiches
and good pizza?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Answer the question? So now we're talking about it.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I know, I know, but I couldn't wait to tell
you finally some criticism.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
But I thought that was a really good debate.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
You know what somebody told me today, like people like
Howard Stern used to listen for an hour, the ones
that hated them listening all three hours.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
So let's talk about you know what. We have that
draft of family drafts.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Coming up, Yeah, Wednesday for fantasy we draft our families.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Murphy's just one picked. They're like, they're like they're like
kickers that auto draft.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
No man, but normally we do like pizza and wings
and stuff. I think we switch it up and go
I'm gonna say in I'm mourning. I'm gonna sound like
your wife, dude, because we're going to Bird's house. He's
got a really good Mexican place by him. Oh my god,
she would kill you.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
But listen, you know what it is. No, not the
one that she likes.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
There's like a different one because there's not a Mexican
place that Peyton or Jenny.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I just haven't had good Mexican food, lady, man, I'm
just craving it. Anyway, a lot a lot to talk about.
Let's uh, let's go Major League Baseball because we're like, last.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Time you said you were somebody was craving something in
your household, you had breaking news.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I know, no, God, no, take all. I have a
lot more questions if we were pregnant again, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yeah. I'm so proud of myself not to get political.
But the DMV.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
The DMV like ask you for like your political party,
and they want you to sign up.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
What.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, like so when you get the real ID, they
like double check to see if you're like still want
to be in your on your team.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
You want like you reregister to vote or you reregister
with your whatever.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yeah, so yeah, I went independent. Man, I don't want
to either. I don't want I don't need this. I don't.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I want to be in the middle. You know that
was a choice. Yeah, it's great. I got a letter too.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
They're like, are you sure you want to Burlington County
was like are you sure you want to do this?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
And I'm like yeah, They're like, you have thirty days
like blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
If you're an independent, you can't so like I can't
do the democratic like primaries or whatever, Like I don't care.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, I mean, and dude to my recollection last again,
the last few years of those have all been decided
by one vote.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I know there's people pulling their out and screaming at
us right now.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Yeah, I didn't revoke my right to vote. I just
revoked my right to party.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, so you got to fight for your right to
party sometimes. I didn't know that was a political song.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah no, I mean it's really The Beastie Boys are
really ahead of their time.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
They really were, dude. So listen, major League Baseball's in
the thick of it right now. I'm shocked.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I got a letter too, So I have this frame
letter now like and I'm like, this is awesome, like, man,
because you know, if I were to re up, they
weren't sending me a letter. It wasn't gonna be like, yeah,
thanks for rejoining the party.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Like they didn't even know. I didn't even know I
had an option to opt out.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
And I was like, you know what, I'm gonna opt
out of my contract surf serve the political structure. See
if there's a new team I want to join, like honestly,
like that's what I did.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
And I blame.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Carl in our group text too, of course, Dude, Carl's
the root of all everything bad. I just want the
record to show I'm trying to talk sports and my cohostro.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Which is fantastic. I wore a sweater sweat still August.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
It's funny it's sweating, but I don't think you could
roll your sleeves up anymore right.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Now and complain it's hot house starting your armpits right now, honestly,
Like I spend some time at the beach. I like
when people like wear sweatshirts on the boardwalk. So that's
the vibe I wanted for today, just to be comfy.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Okay, busy day at work. Had to just comf it
down and I'm just sweating.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Also, I gotta lose some weight, so like sweat it out.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Next week's episode is going to be live from.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
The sauna, just sweat just the mics just starting to
hear this from the stem room.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
That would actually, actually doesn't Kevin Hard do that? Because
he does. Yeah, in some sort of whatever, some guy
named Earl is just in the corner grunting. It's great,
probably moaning that you're independent.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Now, oh my god, all right, Major League Baseball?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Are you deflecting? Is that why you don't think you
have a chance?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Though?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
As a Met fan? What is there like less than
thirty games?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Now, I'm just saying, I mean, you're only three games
out of a spot technically speaking, a wildcard spot.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Yeah, yeah, it's I mean, you gotta give us a shot, right,
It's there's still a shot. It's better than what I
would have predicted.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
So absolutely, I mean, dude, from the dumpster fire that
was the start of the season. So just looking at it, guys, Obviously,
the Philly looks to take possibly the number one spot
in the NL, but more than likely the number two spot.
So at least you're you're guaranteed a bye with that,
you and the Dodgers. Looks like if the trend continues,
the Braves are hanging on for dear life, and the
(06:53):
Mets are hoping they fall from grace because other than that,
it's it's an nl West Wild Card, Imonbacks and the
Padres keep up.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
The Braves are like five or six hour right from
the phills. From the Phills, Yeah, they're five out right,
five out cool. Yeah as of right now? Yeah, right now.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
But I don't know, man, I mean, let's let's take
a look here. What do the Braves have coming up
for you? Met fans Philly. I just like, like where
you're sitting playing okay baseball right now?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
They hate they got Philly. They you want here? It is, man,
you want them.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
You want Philly tonight, tomorrow and Sunday. You want Philly
to make the clean sweep. And then they step over
to the Rockies, which isn't going to be easy for
them either. So and so the Blue like, I don't know, man,
the Mets and I like the rest of the Mets
schedule to be honest, I like this movie.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
It is one of the easiest schedules for the next
thirty games, for sure. You know we have the games
with Phillies, you know, going against the White Sox. That's
they better win those, man, that would be the Mets.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Luck now the White Sox. So what happened when the
Yankees went there? White Dogs went yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
So you know, the funniest part we never talked about
this on the air, the fact that I jinxed the
you know what out of you. I was like, hey, man,
the White Sogs have never won on a Monday. And
then like two hours later you're just like l.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
O L Yeah, uh, guess who bet Guess who bet
them that particular Monday too.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
It was I was like, I haven't lost. Come on,
it's the Yankees. That's nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
I still got still got seven against Philly, three against Atlanta.
It's gonna be fun, man, That's I mean, look, you
control you can control your own success if you win
these this next week, you know, and roll in the
Boston maybe a game and a half behind. But I
did say on the record on the air, I did
feel like, come Friday thirteenth, Mets Phillies, there's a better
(09:04):
chance that the Mets are a dozen games out of
the wild card and and they Braves are closer to
the division. Uh, like three games from the Phils.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Telling you man, Yeah, that's that's gonna be exciting.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I can't wait for that. Yeah, and we're doing a
little kickoff thing on on Friday thirty.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
We are It's gonna get crazy too, because apparently Weezer
is playing that same night, Theeze.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
The Weeze. We're at Nobody beats the Weeze. Are they playing?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I'm just called the First Union Wells Fargo, soon to
be called something else, soon be called The Divide Live.
But dude, like, buddy, my our company has rolled them
out so much that I'm wheezed out.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I was like, I'm done weezing. And Jen, who's a
huge Weezer fan, She's like, I could do one more,
but you're right. I I like Weezer, you know what,
I didn't like their political views, No, not just kidding out.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
The uh when they redid uh titos Africa and everybody
went absolutely bananas.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I I honestly I didn't. At first, I was like,
why is everybody played? It was such a real, like
inexact copy, and I didn't notice the difference.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
So I just thought, you know, yeah, it's just dumb.
Everybody was like, Wheezer, they're reinventing everything. Dumb. All right.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
So other than the possible playoff pictures that we're just
gonna kind of let roll out. We're not gonna speculate.
We're not gonna do anything. We're not gonna jinx. We're
gonna knock on wood. We're gonna see what plays out
for the next at least two weeks before we start
giving our best guess. Uh, free agency is gonna be
a little crazy during this offseason. There's already this list
(10:52):
that we are going to speculate a little bit for
the top it's the Top twenty list, but we're gonna
talk about our guys and particular free agents coming up
this offseason.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Of course, Number one is Juan Soto.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Okay, I mean this guy's uh, you know, projected to
be in the Hall of Fame if everything keeps going
with his career. He's just he's he's been a force
to be reckoned with. I mean this this season alone
is the reason the Yankees had half the offense that
they've had. Where does he go? I remember when he
(11:27):
went to New York Yankees. Yeah, he's staying in New
York And that's and that's what I was getting at here.
But at what costs, Mike.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I mean Wan Soto takes presidents over Pete a lonzo.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Oh that was okay, it's position over like And the
problem is, like our GM does not pay first basement,
like he has a track record of not over paying
for first basement. The inventory is huge, you know, you
can almost argue. And it kind of sucks too because
I mean, he's breaking out stones, you know, like he's
(12:01):
hit more home runs than most MET players. He would easily,
uh be the hold that crown within three or four
years obviously would be retired as a Met uh you know,
and we would retire his number regardless if even if
he never won a World Series.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Uh So it sucks.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I'm team Pete all the way, But logic says, Juan
Soto would make a huge difference.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Pete's thirty something, right, Yeah, yeah, one's twenty six, he's
got he's got some guess on the tank, buddy. Yeah,
I think you're you're right on the money. I think
he stays in New York. He gets paid, but he
gets paid, uh to go to queens. And honestly, that's
that's right there, gonna put the Mets in position to
(12:49):
to not even look at Pete Alonzo and Pete go somewhere. Uh,
you know, maybe in the al I.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Was thinking the Cubs like for the while, for longest time,
because he's a polar bear.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
They're a bear. Uh. It looked like they needed help
at first base.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Now it's not necessarily the case, you know, So I yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Like I I could also see him.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
You know, there's there's a few teams I could see him,
and the one that I was feared that scared me
during the All Star break would be Texas.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
The Rangers.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
They already have Max, they have the Grom. Todd Frasier
loved his six months there. He was there announcing the
home run derby. So I feel like if there was
a dinner to get him to even consider Texas, those
three men might might have taken him to it.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I don't know if that's I don't I don't know.
I mean the last time I met went to Texas
and the ground we were, we were wanted, literally we
were literally laughing, and they won the World Series.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
So in Texas needs some help.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
They definitely, you know, this year has been you know,
not to their expectation.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Riddled with injuries starting pitching, of course, you know, so
still not the Athletics or the Angels, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
That's one one thing they could guarantee. They're not gonna
be any worse than that. What about Severino, Mike, I mean,
the good news Philly is is we're not have to
talk about any of your guys. There's no one of
notice big on your team that's hitting the you know,
free agency this year the market.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
So, uh, Severino, do you even care about that? As
a met fan? I do.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I like sev I mean, it's really cool at his
first shutout like in for in like ten years or something,
you know, so he's reinvented himself.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I for sure.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
You know, I definitely think he's gonna get paid. You know,
it's just a matter of if it's us doing it,
And I don't think we will because it's just we
didn't pay anybody yet, so I can't.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I can't say that, you know, he's gonna stay in Queens.
I hope you does. I really enjoy Sebb So it's
been fun watching his career resurrect.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, I mean, and he's settling down, he's he's finding
a little bit of light there. But it's really about
I don't think it's so much on whether or not
the Mets are intended to re sign him. I just think,
you know, to echo you, it's kind of like, if
another team's gonna make him a you know, a multimillion
dollar offer, he's or I'm not multimillion multi year offer
(15:26):
he's going no matter what. I don't Yeah, I don't
think the Mets will roll him into a multi year
deal that he's looking for.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
You know, more than two would be silly for the Mets.
But Sean Manaya is gonna get paid insane.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
So dude, I wanted to bring him up next before
we even talk about Shirz because Sures is going to
be pitching into his forties, but he still says he
has gas in the tank. But but not Mania is
one of those guys that just he has a bat,
you know, he's he's uh, he's got a cannon as well.
(16:02):
So for a left handed pitcher, like, how much do
the Mets even look into him? You know, how long
do they keep that carrot on that stick before they
just say, whatever, try your luck and come back to us.
You know, is there is there that kind of respect
where it's see what offers you get see if we
can match.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, he's thirty two years old.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I think that the Mets would be smart with this
and try to resign him. I'd be trying to do
that early and often once the season's over or even now.
But Sean deserves that cash. He deserves that check. He's
having a Decron type year. It feels like it feels
like de gram. You know, it's so it feels good.
(16:46):
It honestly does. So I'm rooting for him to get
paid again. I'm hoping the Mets do it. But you're
running into a situation where you know, they didn't. They
were in a rebuild, you know, not a rebuild. There
there were you know, fixing things or whatever. Yeah, quote
unquote yeah, and now they just now they have to
(17:07):
pay some things. So pizza chunk of change Sean and
I is a huge chunk of change in my eyes.
I think, you know, he could definitely get paid a
Max type deal, Max Surger type deal for a couple
of years, but big money if he really wants it,
and I think a team would give it to him.
I look at starting pitching throughout the majors is struggling,
(17:28):
not Taiwan Walker.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
With the Phillies.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
They're they're now showing videos of his jersey like when
they signed him, but they're putting in reverse.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
They're putting the back on the hanger.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Yo, I'm dying, my man, Walker. He does not deserve that.
He's a he's a stud.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Oh damn, I love the Internet.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
He's going through it. They should definitely shut him down,
talk to him like that's the problem. There's a lot
of pride that comes into being a major league baseball player.
Uh so they need to they need to work them out.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
But yeah, he's getting thrown mud at them all day
on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
It's great. I love it. I love it. This is
the era of trolling. I don't care what it is,
who it is. It's such a and.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
It's just it's God, It's so great, God, I love it.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Uh, last, but not least so sure.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
There's uh obviously a little bit past his past year here.
If he does get re signed anywhere, it's gonna be
some sort of lucrative one year deal. Do you see
him coming back to the NL East.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Not with the Mets.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
I would say that I wouldn't make Atlanta. I could
see Philly. I was I was just That's what I
was alluded. I could see that. Do you see Philly?
Could you see Philly spending a little bit of change
just to hey, what do you got?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I guess, I guess what we're really you know, let's
have this conversation again in two months and figure out
if Philly falls short again, could this be like a
little just that could be a screw it?
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Why not a jab a little bit.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
You know, But also like it's h yeah, that's that's
a tough one to really, So, I don't have a
forty plus year old man in that ballpark is gonna
get lit up more times than not.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
You know, we've seen him get lit up in big games,
plus the injuries he's had the last few years.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Also, he's very outspoken in the clubhouse. He speaks his mind.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Got two different colored eyes? What's up with that?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Yeah, So it seems like Max has no problem, whether
it's in front of the press behind closed doors. I mean,
people love, players love him. I'm not saying he's bad teammate.
I'm just saying, like that could really really like Philly
media could really have a field day with that one.
I Mean, look what they're doing, walker they want I'm gone.
Last year they were praising the guys, so they were
(19:55):
excited to have him.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
So, man, I love how the market's just expanding out
of New York comedia wise, and it's just everybody's getting it.
I love it. I love the hate. Uh, stay with us, guys.
We take a short break. We comes back. You're gonna
hear the most awesome thing to ever come out of
Casiano's mouth that I've heard in a long long time.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Max's nickname is brown Eye. No, it's not. We have
to take a break before I say something stupid. We'll
be right back to find live on Fox Sports the Gamble.
That's great. I can't believe that brown Eye brown Eye. Yea,
the ship they could They couldn't go with old blue Eye.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
We'll get back on the airwaves for this conversation.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Morale, poor guy.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
You're listening to The Divide right here on The Gambler.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Divide Live, Fox Sports The Gambler. Welcome back.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
We were just talking during the break. Fantasy football is approaching. Uh,
some of you already had your drafts already. We had
one network draft for the Give Us a Shot network,
and my co host Mike was just saying, how I'm
not a team player because for the second year in
a row, I chose to purposely jump on an auto draft.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Yeah, that was rude.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
It was I was rude on purpose this time, just
because you're trying to be I was trying to be.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I was just gonna trying to get back here. I
was just trying to mean Bert uh status, my mean
Bert status. People would be like, what's up with birth today?
Oh no, that's Corey.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Just but I will say I auto drafted last year,
and I ended up winning the championship with very little
waiver wire moves. I'll say so my stance this year,
for this particular league, not for all the leagues, but
for this particular league, my stance this year was the same.
I'm gonna auto draft. I got to pick my draft spot,
(23:37):
which we really have to work on that.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I think if the winner, whoever wins, I don't think
should choose their draft spot the following Ya, it's weird.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
No, I don't. I don't know how to burk at one.
I didn't even notice that. Yeah, because he looks like you.
Because everything else random though, How did you do that?
Guess I don't know. I didn't care enough to ask question,
but I I specifically it was as a twelve team
team twelve team twelve.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I specifically put myself in the middle at pick number
seven and auto drafted, just to show you all that
I'm still gonna be the champ, the auto draft champ,
so just you know, gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Good job, thank you. Yeah, it was great man. For
the rest of us, we were on a live stream.
It was a lot of fun. We talked about some
cool stuff talked about O. J.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Simpson.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Uh, they're taking his remains and turning it into jewelry.
I saw that, and it's pretty cheap too, Like I
might do that. I thought that was just for his
Can I get like a can I get like a
thumb when you die and like turn it into a ring?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Man? Absolutely, you're gonna turn my thumb into like a
ring like or something like what key chain? I thought
it was his.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Cremated, Like you mean like like my actual not going
to get the full body, So I figured I could
get a piece of. What I'm saying is like you
want like a preserve like something. Is it gonna look
like a thumb or is it gonna be like no,
I'll turn it into a ring?
Speaker 3 (25:02):
A man, do you? Bro you turn whatever you want.
You can't get the whole hand. That'll be your new koozie.
My hand holding a beer. I'm at your funeral wiping
my tears with your hand.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
My god, you're a germophobe. You use my hand open
doors and stuff. What doesn't matter if he gets a disease,
it's already done forget it, Oh my god, bro h.
That is we apologize if we upset any any any
single one of you.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Yeah, don't die like tomorrow. That would be more No, No,
my hand would be better.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
No.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Also, I need more time to like actually get a
contract written up that I could.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
So hold on a second.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
So I thought it was OJ's cremated remains. It is,
We're turned into jewelry. It is, but I thought it
was specifically turning the jewelry for his kids. It was
turned into jewelry, like for people to buy it.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
I don't think we're gonna be able to buy it.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
I'm sure eventually, hell yeah, somebody, Yeah, somebody's getting a
piece of the juice for sure, But I think it's
for the family first, but like somebody had to ask
for permission from the family to do it.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
So again, I don't know what the jewelery is.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Going to be used for, and I've seen some mixed articles,
but I think it's pretty cool because like I heard
about this technology probably like twenty years ago out of Germany,
where you could turn your wife's remains into like a diamond,
and I Jen was like, yo, I'm in And I
was like cool, I'm gonna give it to my next wife,
like you know, and she was like all right, so
(26:38):
like we've had that conversation again.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
This is a binding contract. I get your hand.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
We are on a podcasts No, just kidding, I need
to get her on this too.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
But yeah, so I've seen this crazy stuff. It's just cool.
This is the first celebrity that I've seen with it.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
I wonder if they're going to make it into like
a cutcoat knife that would be ah.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
I just want to know, Like I want to know, like,
could you imagine that?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Check out my knife collection, like you know, and it's
this the Remains of OJ.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
This is a one of one o Jason's in knife
trying to be nice.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
It reminds me of Wolverine and Deadpool too with that scene.
So that's what I would do with OJ's remains. It's cool, man,
I I don't understand it. I guess like it's all
matter and like, you know, you could just turn it
into anything. I guess, like we're all just Adams.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
How do I like you know how like like it's
I don't know. I guess I read it and I
was like, oh, so it'll be like you know how
like you can like fill little lockets with stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I figured it was just like no, I read it
like he's gonna be like a gold chain. How I
read it?
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Like you tell me, they're just gonna little stardust of OJ.
Like that's lame, that's not gonna last. Put them in
an hour glass, like look at that OJ my neck.
Put him in an hour glass, like for the exact
amount of time you know it's took to kill two people,
or the or the chase or the chase like they
like this, like and we can all celebrate the chase,
(28:14):
like put j in an hour glass and just watch
the god man, it's the Broncos on ninety five.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Turn into a Bronco emblem, put it on your car
and be awesome.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
We live in such a great age, everybody.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
There was that comedy show where you sell like Bronco,
like from that year, Like, dude, could you imagine I'm
like a whack jock.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I'm sorry man, like in the.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Family of of I would have murdered him. He wouldn't
have made it. You kill my daughter, I'm freaking.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Got away with the murder and still got into trouble
to get himself arrested. Someone like you got away with
the most heinous crime and you've got locked up for
theft so dumb. Anyway, Uh, Cassianos, let's talk about him
(29:09):
real quick, and we're gonna see how this works. There
a better way for me to uh, I'll just hold
up to the mic. Is that the best way to
do it?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I didn't Yeah, I didn't cut the clip.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
That's if I if I hook into that, would it
play over the Do you have a headphone jack on this?
Speaker 1 (29:26):
No?
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Do you have iPhone? Yeah? iPhone? Yeah? Holdumb buddy. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
So Cassianos was basically asked the question if you were
if you were commissioner for a day, how would you
change the game? And this was his answer. By the way,
he's got his glove, he's got his shades, he got
a backwards hat, he's like in like workout clothes. But
(29:54):
then he's wearing slides. So I'm like super confused because
he's like wearing his glove like he was just shagging.
But he's dude, he's literally wearing slides.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
I don't know. Anyway, here we go.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
You're a commissioner for a day, what would you change
about the game?
Speaker 6 (30:08):
I would change that ownership doesn't have any severe consequences
for losing for an extended period of time, you know,
so like I just like, if we're in the big
leagues and we don't perform well, we get demoted or cut.
If their organization didn't perform well, somebody else would have
(30:29):
an opportunity to buy it from them, you know, just
to just you know, like keep keep it to where
nobody can really own the game of baseball, because the
game is above true ownership.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
But that would never happen. All right.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I know you hate it when I say this, but
my baseball purest I know you hate it.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
No, It's like one of those things that people call
you like, you know, everybody yet calls me a nice guy,
the one guys like I swear he goes home and
kicks his cat.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I was like a freaking hate cat. Yeah, of course
I'd kick my cat. I hate him. I like Pee
Wee per Man, but he also gives me hives every
time my volume and you like practically die. Bro. When
we had to do the show, when this was being
forget and you're that was like after I like.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
You clean vioreless, it was spotless, still looking like you
war man, your face is all red. I got the up, Like,
all right, let's I want to dive into what like somebody.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
We know, like, don't don't do it.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
I want to dive into this because at face value
it sounds okay, But the more I think about it,
it's stupid.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yo.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
It put me through a rabbit hole because then I
started thinking about and especially with all the fantasy drafts,
how like bart like, how strange it is like that
we still do drafts. You know, these poor players don't
get to pick what company they.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Work for, you know what I mean. And it's it's
not that all.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
The companies are equal either, Like how angry would you
be if you were the level of Bryce Harper and
you got signed to Oakland who doesn't even have a stadium?
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Right well, right, Well the point so here's the weird
part is it's it's a business like anything else. Yeah,
I don't think the ownership needs the consequences for having
a terrible ball club. Is is enough because you're not
making as much money as you would you're not selling
out these standards as ownership, Like owners don't want a
(32:40):
bad ball club. They're not trying to run it into
the ground. They want their business to thrive. So to
say like, oh, they don't have consequences like it's it
comes down to money like anything else. Like think of moneyball,
bro like you, it's not that the Oakland Athletics and
Billy Bean didn't want to win. They didn't have any
(33:01):
money to win. Ownership was not paying anybody.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
So like that's a problem.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
So because there's tons of money too, Like they're still billionaires,
like to own that. We couldn't own the worst. We
couldn't own a minor league team if we wanted to
right now. Like, so, like there's money in the game,
and I think that's what Cassianos is upset about.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Also the simple fact of.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
You know, maybe he's left some teams because of money.
I had to join other teams because there was good owners.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Now.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
The other thing that I think about is like no
offense to your Yankees, but you make money every single year.
You have Soto right now, you have a great lineup
where still kind of flawed, but you haven't won since
two thousand and nine, and you haven't been to a
World Series since two thousand and nine, correct, And that's
where they're in twenty fifteen. So there's there's different avenue
(33:57):
do that in the switch? Did I tell you? Like
my boss noticed I say that, yeah, and a few
other things. It was pretty funny. So I called you
immediately because he was like, Yo, dude, there's like things
that I checked down during your meetings with your clients
that you say and you figure out a way to
talk about Brooklyn. He's like, it's hilarious. Said again, yeah,
(34:18):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
I love it. So yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
So that that's my thoughts on the whole situation, Like,
it's not it's not a matter of like do I
think ownership is purposely doing it? I think the fear
of that would be great. I know there's other people
that would love to own the team. Hence what happened
with the Willponds. But then the Willpons like tried to backtrack.
I mean they had a deal with Cohen, they they
(34:43):
walked away from it. They had to deal with a
Rod and j Lo's company, and then god, they walked
away from that and offense a Rod presidente light finding
stores near you, you know things like that. But uh,
and I'm only saying thank God, I think a Rob
would have been a great owner.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Uh. They were explaining the whole entertainment process and people
were like, well, we're gonna have concerts and stuff, outside,
same thing Steve Cohen's doing outside of the stadium, guys focus.
Uh you know.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
So it's their concept was good, and I think they
would have been great owners as well. Uh you know,
but I love the Cohens. I think they're doing a
phenomenal job. Uh you know, but when you look at
owners throughout, like I look at the Knicks, like they're
hot now, but there was decades where they were like,
we're selling out the garden.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Who cares? You know?
Speaker 4 (35:33):
So when you look at ticket sales, that that's the
root of all evil sometimes with under with rich, underperforming teams,
and you know, and maybe the Knicks are kind of
like the Mets where everybody likes to use them to
get their price up, but nobody wants to play there,
you know.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Yeah, but it wasn't for lack of trying trying that
Like that's my whole point, you know what I mean, Like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
I get that.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
I mean there was some there's some like we should
if the Knicks wanted to really play, they could have
gotten some marquete players.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Yeah, I mean, I think, but it's not it's not
level playing field either. I mean, you think about how
many free agents end up going to play anywhere in
Florida because there's no state tax, you know what I mean,
or any state where they can get more bang for
their buck. It's like, you know, you got you have
these owners that are throwing this money at them, and
they're like, well, yeah, but that's the same money I'm
(36:23):
getting over here and I get to play, and it's
it's Miami.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Like this is where I get to live, This is
where I get to spend you know, three hundred days out.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Of the year or whatever. Like it's just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
I think it's like the concept that first is cool, Like, yeah,
that'd be awesome.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Though it's said it's never gonna happen. Nah, of course not.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
But it's hard enough to become an owner. You gotta
like get voted in by by the Legion of Doom.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Drink Lamb's Blood or whatever they do. I don't know
what they do. Good God, I don't know what they do.
But yeah, they got to get.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Approved and all that other stupid stuff, and then you
can still be an owner for millions and millions of years,
like Jerry Jones in the NFL, and everybody hates you publicly.
Players hate you publicly and you're just like whatever, I'm rich.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
I don't care. All right, we gotta take a break.
We come back pop culture. There's a bunch of stuff
we got to talking about, people lost in space, Starbucks,
skift cards. That's a lot of million, a lot of
a lot of a lot of it.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Probably all mind, dude.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
I'll we'll talk about we come back if I live
Fox Sports, the gamblers stay with us, dude, duh.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
We'll use this time to shout out icon of candy.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yeah, man, I've been craving those Squeeze Pop just released.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
I'm excited.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
Went like five blow is a little bit behind and
the lady's like, it's not here yet. I keep going,
like so some of those stories have not gotten it yet.
But they promised me there's a reset this weekend and
then they'll be on the shelves and I was like,
don't play with me.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
I believe it. Labor Day is uh, it.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
All right, let's get into a few things here.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
So apparently there's two astronauts that are stuck in space
and they are not going to the Boeing.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Star Line or astronaut I don't know. I didn't even
know if people were up there. I definitely yeah, you
just said the B word Boeing. Yeah. Yeah, I'll take
that hand now, because come out, I didn't say anything
anything wrong. You're going to say that left people. No, no, no, no,
I didn't say that, and they're not bringing them home.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
That's the star Liner that left. I'm just brand loyalty,
that's all. I'm just saying that, you know, given credit
where credits due. Okay, So they're going to be stranded
in space for like eighty days. They're not coming home
until twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
And I thought it was bad when my uber said
halfway through the ride, I'm not taking you the other way.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
I want to go home. What Yeah, I am a
number driver to do that to me.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
And then I was like, all right, well, I'm going
to report this He's like, no, no, no, just cancel the ride,
then call Uber and get a refund. Like in other words,
he still wanted the full payment of the entire ride.
I was like, bro, none of that's happening. So, like
I'm awkwardly sitting in this man's car and dude, he
starts screaming, get out of my car. I was like,
(41:05):
I need to figure out where I am, and then
I'm gonna get out of your car, you know.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
So then I had to call the operator. It was
it was a horrifying Where were you going home from
a game?
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Like I took it from Philly, yeah, and he just
got he picked up the ride and he was like no,
never mind.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
He was just like I don't know, like maybe somebody
DMed him a pick or something and they're like five
minutes or you get nothing.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Maybe he shot his pants. I didn't smell anything. I
just said, shit, that's okay. I said it twice. It'll
be easy to find an edit. But yeah, they uh, Bro.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
Man, no, it was that happens. And I'm like and
then like, yeah it was.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
It was like a company thing and we didn't have
parking tickets, so I was like, bro, forty bucks a park,
I'll just uberh you know, like, yeah, it's so much better,
especially when it's a big game. Uh So I still
do recommend it.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
This was horrifying.
Speaker 4 (42:01):
I didn't then I didn't get home to like one thirty,
and I was like I wanted to screen.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Yeah, so I get out of his car and I
leave his car door open, so he has to get
out and shut it. Bro that and depending on how
rude that man is and.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
He gets out to shut it, und you too, Like
I added some of my work stuff, like, you know,
Like so I was just like I'm getting back out
of the car and people like, what's going on? I
was like, I'm stuck here now? And it was a
seven eleven.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
You know how bad that is to be at a
seven eleven trying to figure out to get another Uber
during like a search. So like you're seeing all these
ubers pass you, but you're now stuck in an area
where they don't normally pick up, and they're all picking
up at the stadium.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
So like it was like, dude, like thirty forty minutes.
It was awful. So damn man, moment of silence for
that terrible situation.
Speaker 4 (42:53):
But almost as bad as being lost in left in space.
Just that might be worse than being at least left
in space. You know where you are allegedly.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
I gat we say space, we really need mean like
the studio that NASA makes the space in, because that's
not a real thing.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
Did you know? Did you know?
Speaker 4 (43:09):
Like it's kind of like being snowed in though, like
you were supposed to be there for a weekend. Now
it's probably like, all right, I'm done with it.
Speaker 3 (43:15):
It's like, how exhausting could that brow? Eighty days? Yeah,
forget that where you're like, okay.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Seen space, seeing all there is in the space. I'd
like to come home now. And imagine if it's too
two pilots that like don't get along, Like imagine if
they're like just like friendly with each other because they're like, oh,
I can spend you know what I mean, Like you
go on vacation with someone and it's like an extended friend.
They're like, I could spend you know, five days of
them whatever, and then you're like, no, you gotta spend
(43:42):
eighty days.
Speaker 4 (43:43):
Even on golf course, like you meet a stranger and
it's like the first couple of holes you're like, all right,
I like this guy Nabe the ninth all you're feeling it,
but like the fifteenth or sixteen, it's like, you know what,
you're kind of annoying.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
By by a whole thirteen when he's still taking breakfast
balls and hitting out of bounds and then sinking a
pun insane but made bar Yo count again, buddy.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
And then yeah made par Yeah take that the visional
one dude.
Speaker 4 (44:10):
We were taking his like yo, but like two guys
arguing with each other, I always count what he's like.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
I always count trotle lie. That was only a bogey.
He was like, dude, it was like an eight bar
was a double par man nuts.
Speaker 4 (44:27):
I I agreed with everything they said because I felt
like they might add some bodies in their trunks.
Speaker 3 (44:32):
Oh yeah, old Italian dude. It was crazy. It was great.
It was It was a load of fun.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
But like when you know somebody's voice is the voice
because the amount of cigarettes they've consumed and whiskey, Like yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
I felt like if because he offered us for a croissant,
because you see, packed breakfast he offered us. No, he
wasn't like hey man, like I got granold. He was
just like I have some croissants I picked up and
we were like, now we're good. We offered it to
us like three or four times. Should sure you guys
don't want to croissan Oh wait, we'd be dead. There
was something in those croissants. Wake up at a seven eleven.
Speaker 4 (45:09):
It's kind of like the first time, like you ever see, uh,
where's the meat loaf?
Speaker 3 (45:13):
And he's like, you know what, yeah, I really love them,
Like we did have that moment. We did have.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
We'll take but we were like, no, thanks, buddy, not
a croissant.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
Your fan's gonna hate it again. Yeah, sorry, we just
Starbucks gift card.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
Starbucks has released that they have one point seven seven
billion dollars in unredeemed gift cards gift cards just sitting
there like that's an insane amount of money. See like
one point seven seven billion gift cards.
Speaker 3 (45:50):
It unredeemed. It's Elon on one card. He's just waiting
for them to have the worst like financial crisis of
star and then swipe it's one point seven billion game card.
It's outrageous.
Speaker 7 (46:06):
It's absolutely outrage perfect sense though, dude, I'm just telling you,
and I bet you they'll never have that number will
only go up, it will not go down.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
Those cards are gone. Well, Starbucks has already made more money.
I mean with the investment, just with inflation alone. It's
just like, you know, you get a gift card, you
forget about it for a year, and the prices go up.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
I have a Starbucks gift card in my car right now,
but I don't like Starbucks, so things like that's I
think it was only for like five that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (46:37):
It was like five Bucks too.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
I'm grateful, don't get me wrong, like end of year
gifts when kids are like, thank you so much and
they give me like a dunkin Donuts gift card for
five Bucks or Starbucks, but like I'm like, thank you, but.
Speaker 4 (46:47):
Like, come on, have you ever gotten home with nothing
on it?
Speaker 3 (46:51):
Not yet?
Speaker 4 (46:52):
That umpire when we used to play softball, huh the
one team did that to him and he was like
he still every time I saw him, Like.
Speaker 3 (47:00):
I don't like that guy. The team used to play
for give me a nice card, thanked me for the season.
So there was like two hundred bucks on this gift card.
I was so taken back. I swipe it at the register.
Zero freaking dollars. Bro. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
That so that's a great situation for a lot of reasons,
and we're gonna go over time, but we have to
talk about this number one. That's the most passive aggressive
thing you can ever do to somebody, because even if
you're gonna see that person again, you could be like
what na no, I oh, I don't even have the
receipt on me. But that's we all collected money for that.
Speaker 3 (47:36):
Was it a problem at the register? Like you know
what I mean, Like you can act them?
Speaker 2 (47:39):
Yeah, right, because when you you're not gonna be like, dude, no,
there's not stop playing with me.
Speaker 3 (47:42):
No there was. The other thing is like the balls.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
Like it's not even like that was your last year
in the league and you're like, screw this guy.
Speaker 4 (47:49):
And this was the steroid dude, like he was jacked
up all the time. He was a beast of an umpire.
Speaker 3 (47:56):
To really pick a fight with him is unreal. One
time he threw a bat at me and one of
the guys want to go after him. I was like, no,
I'm cool. You could throw whatever he wants. Yes, Like everybody,
calm down. I told him just don't go for the head.
He's okay, you can't shoulders and down. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (48:09):
Yeah, Like it was kind of like the it was
my version of the Clemens Piazza batsh my god, Like
it was like I was just there he I didn't.
Speaker 3 (48:19):
Agree with the call, but I was like, are you sure?
Speaker 4 (48:22):
And then all of a sudden the back came and
it was like that felt like deliberate, and the one
kid who never gets angry got angry, and I was like, yo, dude,
it's actually cool, Like you know, I actually pay.
Speaker 3 (48:32):
Extra from the throw stuff at me, like you know,
like I was like trying to make a calm down
the situation, but like I was like, oh my god,
that guy could have killed us all. Like so to
give him so much two.
Speaker 4 (48:43):
Hundred dollars gift card with nothing on it, could you
imagine like maybe he's got like you know, cheetos, like
just buying groceries.
Speaker 3 (48:50):
His family's there.
Speaker 2 (48:51):
Well, because when you like, when you have, like you
just buy stuff that you wouldn't buy for yourself, like
the Walk of Shane back from that register, I'd be
too proud.
Speaker 3 (48:59):
I'm like, I guess I spent two hundred dollars like
what But he's like.
Speaker 2 (49:02):
Oh, I do I would pay to see that reaction
if I'm gonna go through the trouble to give him,
I'm following that guy around to see that.
Speaker 3 (49:14):
Yeah, I agree. I agree, Like it's it's like a
no WL, wait until he uses it. But so I
think about that a lot.
Speaker 4 (49:24):
Like and we actually had a gift card issue, like
Peyton's gift card that Laura got her a couple of
years ago or something. It was like Valentine's Day or something.
She was just like, here's a gift card. But it
was like, oh, that's really cool. It wasn't like something
you would expect a gift and she's like, yeah, I
wanted to do it.
Speaker 3 (49:40):
I thought it was cute. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (49:42):
So she did it and we get to register and
it's not working. It's like now we're like awkward, like
texting her like hey, we don't really we hope you
didn't get charged. Like it was like it was cool,
we don't need the gift card. We paid for Peyton's
gift and on review like blah blah blah, shu, I
don't know I pay. And then it turned out they
put it all on the first gift card and she
(50:03):
bought multiple ones, so it was an air at the registers.
So the one kid got thirty and the other two
got zero or whatever it was like, So it was fine.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
There was somebody else too, And it's my biggest fear
buying a gift card for someone and having the person
at the register in messed up, or.
Speaker 4 (50:22):
Like donating money and like this happened once, Like you
donate money and you had one too many zeros.
Speaker 2 (50:30):
Yeah, I don't mind giving for the cause, but I
don't want to give that much.
Speaker 4 (50:33):
Ten ten, it's fine, one hundred, you know. Now we
raised a ton of money. We're gonna be.
Speaker 3 (50:39):
Doing a walk for the children Specialized Hospital, so we're
gonna make a team. Definitely. I'm gonna make you go there.
It's in Somerset, Man.
Speaker 4 (50:48):
Details to come. It's in in October. There'll be a
press release October.
Speaker 3 (50:53):
I don't kidding, I'm in that's what a weather.
Speaker 4 (50:56):
But yeah, that's it. I got nothing else. We're way
over time. We're way over eat us up in the
chipmunks on the radio.
Speaker 2 (51:02):
So yeah, that's that's fine. We'll do whatever. I don't
just do whatever on the radio. You already cursed, just
like whatever, just play the first segment twice.
Speaker 3 (51:09):
It's like okay. It's like, hey, uh, why don't I
still sound the same. That's all sped up. I have
a good week. We'll be back next week. Guys Divide

Okay, yes, I guess.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
The last episode we did, it was like a weird
rainy day and we were talking about my mall extravaganza
alone with my cologne, and then that led to the
conversation on pizza and sandwiches. This listener was like, dude,
stop doing that, Like I don't want any I don't care.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Straight up.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
She was like, that was the most boring thing I
think I've ever listened to in my entire life.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
And I'm like, well, thank you what what was the
boring part of the pizza sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Us rambling on about why good pizza places have one
or the other.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
She's just like, I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I was like, well, can you relate, right, But she's
just like, I don't know whether it was someone that
didn't order sandwiches, Like no, Like, what pizza place do
you go to and do they also have good sandwiches
and good pizza?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Answer the question? So now we're talking about it.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I know, I know, but I couldn't wait to tell
you finally some criticism.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
But I thought that was a really good debate.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
You know what somebody told me today, like people like
Howard Stern used to listen for an hour, the ones
that hated them listening all three hours.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
So let's talk about you know what. We have that
draft of family drafts.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Coming up, Yeah, Wednesday for fantasy we draft our families.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Murphy's just one picked. They're like, they're like they're like
kickers that auto draft.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
No man, but normally we do like pizza and wings
and stuff. I think we switch it up and go
I'm gonna say in I'm mourning. I'm gonna sound like
your wife, dude, because we're going to Bird's house. He's
got a really good Mexican place by him. Oh my god,
she would kill you.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
But listen, you know what it is. No, not the
one that she likes.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
There's like a different one because there's not a Mexican
place that Peyton or Jenny.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I just haven't had good Mexican food, lady, man, I'm
just craving it. Anyway, a lot a lot to talk about.
Let's uh, let's go Major League Baseball because we're like, last.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Time you said you were somebody was craving something in
your household, you had breaking news.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I know, no, God, no, take all. I have a
lot more questions if we were pregnant again, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yeah. I'm so proud of myself not to get political.
But the DMV.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
The DMV like ask you for like your political party,
and they want you to sign up.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
What.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, like so when you get the real ID, they
like double check to see if you're like still want
to be in your on your team.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
You want like you reregister to vote or you reregister
with your whatever.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yeah, so yeah, I went independent. Man, I don't want
to either. I don't want I don't need this. I don't.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I want to be in the middle. You know that
was a choice. Yeah, it's great. I got a letter too.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
They're like, are you sure you want to Burlington County
was like are you sure you want to do this?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
And I'm like yeah, They're like, you have thirty days
like blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
If you're an independent, you can't so like I can't
do the democratic like primaries or whatever, Like I don't care.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, I mean, and dude to my recollection last again,
the last few years of those have all been decided
by one vote.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I know there's people pulling their out and screaming at
us right now.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Yeah, I didn't revoke my right to vote. I just
revoked my right to party.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, so you got to fight for your right to
party sometimes. I didn't know that was a political song.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah no, I mean it's really The Beastie Boys are
really ahead of their time.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
They really were, dude. So listen, major League Baseball's in
the thick of it right now. I'm shocked.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I got a letter too, So I have this frame
letter now like and I'm like, this is awesome, like, man,
because you know, if I were to re up, they
weren't sending me a letter. It wasn't gonna be like, yeah,
thanks for rejoining the party.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Like they didn't even know. I didn't even know I
had an option to opt out.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
And I was like, you know what, I'm gonna opt
out of my contract surf serve the political structure. See
if there's a new team I want to join, like honestly,
like that's what I did.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
And I blame.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Carl in our group text too, of course, Dude, Carl's
the root of all everything bad. I just want the
record to show I'm trying to talk sports and my cohostro.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Which is fantastic. I wore a sweater sweat still August.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
It's funny it's sweating, but I don't think you could
roll your sleeves up anymore right.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Now and complain it's hot house starting your armpits right now, honestly,
Like I spend some time at the beach. I like
when people like wear sweatshirts on the boardwalk. So that's
the vibe I wanted for today, just to be comfy.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Okay, busy day at work. Had to just comf it
down and I'm just sweating.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Also, I gotta lose some weight, so like sweat it out.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Next week's episode is going to be live from.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
The sauna, just sweat just the mics just starting to
hear this from the stem room.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
That would actually, actually doesn't Kevin Hard do that? Because
he does. Yeah, in some sort of whatever, some guy
named Earl is just in the corner grunting. It's great,
probably moaning that you're independent.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Now, oh my god, all right, Major League Baseball?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Are you deflecting? Is that why you don't think you
have a chance?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Though?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
As a Met fan? What is there like less than
thirty games?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Now, I'm just saying, I mean, you're only three games
out of a spot technically speaking, a wildcard spot.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Yeah, yeah, it's I mean, you gotta give us a shot, right,
It's there's still a shot. It's better than what I
would have predicted.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
So absolutely, I mean, dude, from the dumpster fire that
was the start of the season. So just looking at it, guys, Obviously,
the Philly looks to take possibly the number one spot
in the NL, but more than likely the number two spot.
So at least you're you're guaranteed a bye with that,
you and the Dodgers. Looks like if the trend continues,
the Braves are hanging on for dear life, and the
(06:53):
Mets are hoping they fall from grace because other than that,
it's it's an nl West Wild Card, Imonbacks and the
Padres keep up.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
The Braves are like five or six hour right from
the phills. From the Phills, Yeah, they're five out right,
five out cool. Yeah as of right now? Yeah, right now.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
But I don't know, man, I mean, let's let's take
a look here. What do the Braves have coming up
for you? Met fans Philly. I just like, like where
you're sitting playing okay baseball right now?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
They hate they got Philly. They you want here? It is, man,
you want them.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
You want Philly tonight, tomorrow and Sunday. You want Philly
to make the clean sweep. And then they step over
to the Rockies, which isn't going to be easy for
them either. So and so the Blue like, I don't know, man,
the Mets and I like the rest of the Mets
schedule to be honest, I like this movie.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
It is one of the easiest schedules for the next
thirty games, for sure. You know we have the games
with Phillies, you know, going against the White Sox. That's
they better win those, man, that would be the Mets.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Luck now the White Sox. So what happened when the
Yankees went there? White Dogs went yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
So you know, the funniest part we never talked about
this on the air, the fact that I jinxed the
you know what out of you. I was like, hey, man,
the White Sogs have never won on a Monday. And
then like two hours later you're just like l.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
O L Yeah, uh, guess who bet Guess who bet
them that particular Monday too.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
It was I was like, I haven't lost. Come on,
it's the Yankees. That's nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
I still got still got seven against Philly, three against Atlanta.
It's gonna be fun, man, That's I mean, look, you
control you can control your own success if you win
these this next week, you know, and roll in the
Boston maybe a game and a half behind. But I
did say on the record on the air, I did
feel like, come Friday thirteenth, Mets Phillies, there's a better
(09:04):
chance that the Mets are a dozen games out of
the wild card and and they Braves are closer to
the division. Uh, like three games from the Phils.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Telling you man, Yeah, that's that's gonna be exciting.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I can't wait for that. Yeah, and we're doing a
little kickoff thing on on Friday thirty.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
We are It's gonna get crazy too, because apparently Weezer
is playing that same night, Theeze.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
The Weeze. We're at Nobody beats the Weeze. Are they playing?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I'm just called the First Union Wells Fargo, soon to
be called something else, soon be called The Divide Live.
But dude, like, buddy, my our company has rolled them
out so much that I'm wheezed out.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I was like, I'm done weezing. And Jen, who's a
huge Weezer fan, She's like, I could do one more,
but you're right. I I like Weezer, you know what,
I didn't like their political views, No, not just kidding out.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
The uh when they redid uh titos Africa and everybody
went absolutely bananas.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I I honestly I didn't. At first, I was like,
why is everybody played? It was such a real, like
inexact copy, and I didn't notice the difference.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
So I just thought, you know, yeah, it's just dumb.
Everybody was like, Wheezer, they're reinventing everything. Dumb. All right.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
So other than the possible playoff pictures that we're just
gonna kind of let roll out. We're not gonna speculate.
We're not gonna do anything. We're not gonna jinx. We're
gonna knock on wood. We're gonna see what plays out
for the next at least two weeks before we start
giving our best guess. Uh, free agency is gonna be
a little crazy during this offseason. There's already this list
(10:52):
that we are going to speculate a little bit for
the top it's the Top twenty list, but we're gonna
talk about our guys and particular free agents coming up
this offseason.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Of course, Number one is Juan Soto.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Okay, I mean this guy's uh, you know, projected to
be in the Hall of Fame if everything keeps going
with his career. He's just he's he's been a force
to be reckoned with. I mean this this season alone
is the reason the Yankees had half the offense that
they've had. Where does he go? I remember when he
(11:27):
went to New York Yankees. Yeah, he's staying in New
York And that's and that's what I was getting at here.
But at what costs, Mike.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I mean Wan Soto takes presidents over Pete a lonzo.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Oh that was okay, it's position over like And the
problem is, like our GM does not pay first basement,
like he has a track record of not over paying
for first basement. The inventory is huge, you know, you
can almost argue. And it kind of sucks too because
I mean, he's breaking out stones, you know, like he's
(12:01):
hit more home runs than most MET players. He would easily,
uh be the hold that crown within three or four
years obviously would be retired as a Met uh you know,
and we would retire his number regardless if even if
he never won a World Series.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Uh So it sucks.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I'm team Pete all the way, But logic says, Juan
Soto would make a huge difference.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Pete's thirty something, right, Yeah, yeah, one's twenty six, he's
got he's got some guess on the tank, buddy. Yeah,
I think you're you're right on the money. I think
he stays in New York. He gets paid, but he
gets paid, uh to go to queens. And honestly, that's
that's right there, gonna put the Mets in position to
(12:49):
to not even look at Pete Alonzo and Pete go somewhere. Uh,
you know, maybe in the al I.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Was thinking the Cubs like for the while, for longest time,
because he's a polar bear.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
They're a bear. Uh. It looked like they needed help
at first base.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Now it's not necessarily the case, you know, So I yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Like I I could also see him.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
You know, there's there's a few teams I could see him,
and the one that I was feared that scared me
during the All Star break would be Texas.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
The Rangers.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
They already have Max, they have the Grom. Todd Frasier
loved his six months there. He was there announcing the
home run derby. So I feel like if there was
a dinner to get him to even consider Texas, those
three men might might have taken him to it.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I don't know if that's I don't I don't know.
I mean the last time I met went to Texas
and the ground we were, we were wanted, literally we
were literally laughing, and they won the World Series.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
So in Texas needs some help.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
They definitely, you know, this year has been you know,
not to their expectation.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Riddled with injuries starting pitching, of course, you know, so
still not the Athletics or the Angels, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
That's one one thing they could guarantee. They're not gonna
be any worse than that. What about Severino, Mike, I mean,
the good news Philly is is we're not have to
talk about any of your guys. There's no one of
notice big on your team that's hitting the you know,
free agency this year the market.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
So, uh, Severino, do you even care about that? As
a met fan? I do.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I like sev I mean, it's really cool at his
first shutout like in for in like ten years or something,
you know, so he's reinvented himself.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I for sure.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
You know, I definitely think he's gonna get paid. You know,
it's just a matter of if it's us doing it,
And I don't think we will because it's just we
didn't pay anybody yet, so I can't.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I can't say that, you know, he's gonna stay in Queens.
I hope you does. I really enjoy Sebb So it's
been fun watching his career resurrect.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, I mean, and he's settling down, he's he's finding
a little bit of light there. But it's really about
I don't think it's so much on whether or not
the Mets are intended to re sign him. I just think,
you know, to echo you, it's kind of like, if
another team's gonna make him a you know, a multimillion
dollar offer, he's or I'm not multimillion multi year offer
(15:26):
he's going no matter what. I don't Yeah, I don't
think the Mets will roll him into a multi year
deal that he's looking for.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
You know, more than two would be silly for the Mets.
But Sean Manaya is gonna get paid insane.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
So dude, I wanted to bring him up next before
we even talk about Shirz because Sures is going to
be pitching into his forties, but he still says he
has gas in the tank. But but not Mania is
one of those guys that just he has a bat,
you know, he's he's uh, he's got a cannon as well.
(16:02):
So for a left handed pitcher, like, how much do
the Mets even look into him? You know, how long
do they keep that carrot on that stick before they
just say, whatever, try your luck and come back to us.
You know, is there is there that kind of respect
where it's see what offers you get see if we
can match.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, he's thirty two years old.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I think that the Mets would be smart with this
and try to resign him. I'd be trying to do
that early and often once the season's over or even now.
But Sean deserves that cash. He deserves that check. He's
having a Decron type year. It feels like it feels
like de gram. You know, it's so it feels good.
(16:46):
It honestly does. So I'm rooting for him to get
paid again. I'm hoping the Mets do it. But you're
running into a situation where you know, they didn't. They
were in a rebuild, you know, not a rebuild. There
there were you know, fixing things or whatever. Yeah, quote
unquote yeah, and now they just now they have to
(17:07):
pay some things. So pizza chunk of change Sean and
I is a huge chunk of change in my eyes.
I think, you know, he could definitely get paid a
Max type deal, Max Surger type deal for a couple
of years, but big money if he really wants it,
and I think a team would give it to him.
I look at starting pitching throughout the majors is struggling,
(17:28):
not Taiwan Walker.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
With the Phillies.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
They're they're now showing videos of his jersey like when
they signed him, but they're putting in reverse.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
They're putting the back on the hanger.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Yo, I'm dying, my man, Walker. He does not deserve that.
He's a he's a stud.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Oh damn, I love the Internet.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
He's going through it. They should definitely shut him down,
talk to him like that's the problem. There's a lot
of pride that comes into being a major league baseball player.
Uh so they need to they need to work them out.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
But yeah, he's getting thrown mud at them all day
on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
It's great. I love it. I love it. This is
the era of trolling. I don't care what it is,
who it is. It's such a and.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
It's just it's God, It's so great, God, I love it.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Uh, last, but not least so sure.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
There's uh obviously a little bit past his past year here.
If he does get re signed anywhere, it's gonna be
some sort of lucrative one year deal. Do you see
him coming back to the NL East.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Not with the Mets.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
I would say that I wouldn't make Atlanta. I could
see Philly. I was I was just That's what I
was alluded. I could see that. Do you see Philly?
Could you see Philly spending a little bit of change
just to hey, what do you got?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I guess, I guess what we're really you know, let's
have this conversation again in two months and figure out
if Philly falls short again, could this be like a
little just that could be a screw it?
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Why not a jab a little bit.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
You know, But also like it's h yeah, that's that's
a tough one to really, So, I don't have a
forty plus year old man in that ballpark is gonna
get lit up more times than not.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
You know, we've seen him get lit up in big games,
plus the injuries he's had the last few years.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Also, he's very outspoken in the clubhouse. He speaks his mind.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Got two different colored eyes? What's up with that?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Yeah, So it seems like Max has no problem, whether
it's in front of the press behind closed doors. I mean,
people love, players love him. I'm not saying he's bad teammate.
I'm just saying, like that could really really like Philly
media could really have a field day with that one.
I Mean, look what they're doing, walker they want I'm gone.
Last year they were praising the guys, so they were
(19:55):
excited to have him.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
So, man, I love how the market's just expanding out
of New York comedia wise, and it's just everybody's getting it.
I love it. I love the hate. Uh, stay with us, guys.

Have you looked at anything.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Fantasy wise, did you jump on I'm a team player, Corey.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Corey is not a team player. Our fantasy league was
his team not only won it last year, but he's
the auto draft.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
The auto draft champ. Well, we're not. We're let's get
back on.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
We'll get back on the airwaves for this conversation.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Morale, poor guy.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
You're listening to The Divide right here on The Gambler.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Divide Live, Fox Sports The Gambler. Welcome back.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
We were just talking during the break. Fantasy football is approaching. Uh,
some of you already had your drafts already. We had
one network draft for the Give Us a Shot network,
and my co host Mike was just saying, how I'm
not a team player because for the second year in
a row, I chose to purposely jump on an auto draft.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Yeah, that was rude.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
It was I was rude on purpose this time, just
because you're trying to be I was trying to be.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I was just gonna trying to get back here. I
was just trying to mean Bert uh status, my mean
Bert status. People would be like, what's up with birth today?
Oh no, that's Corey.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Just but I will say I auto drafted last year,
and I ended up winning the championship with very little
waiver wire moves. I'll say so my stance this year,
for this particular league, not for all the leagues, but
for this particular league, my stance this year was the same.
I'm gonna auto draft. I got to pick my draft spot,
(23:37):
which we really have to work on that.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I think if the winner, whoever wins, I don't think
should choose their draft spot the following Ya, it's weird.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
No, I don't. I don't know how to burk at one.
I didn't even notice that. Yeah, because he looks like you.
Because everything else random though, How did you do that?
Guess I don't know. I didn't care enough to ask question,
but I I specifically it was as a twelve team
team twelve team twelve.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I specifically put myself in the middle at pick number
seven and auto drafted, just to show you all that
I'm still gonna be the champ, the auto draft champ,
so just you know, gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Good job, thank you. Yeah, it was great man. For
the rest of us, we were on a live stream.
It was a lot of fun. We talked about some
cool stuff talked about O. J.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Simpson.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Uh, they're taking his remains and turning it into jewelry.
I saw that, and it's pretty cheap too, Like I
might do that. I thought that was just for his
Can I get like a can I get like a
thumb when you die and like turn it into a ring?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Man? Absolutely, you're gonna turn my thumb into like a
ring like or something like what key chain? I thought
it was his.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Cremated, Like you mean like like my actual not going
to get the full body, So I figured I could
get a piece of. What I'm saying is like you
want like a preserve like something. Is it gonna look
like a thumb or is it gonna be like no,
I'll turn it into a ring?
Speaker 3 (25:02):
A man, do you? Bro you turn whatever you want.
You can't get the whole hand. That'll be your new koozie.
My hand holding a beer. I'm at your funeral wiping
my tears with your hand.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
My god, you're a germophobe. You use my hand open
doors and stuff. What doesn't matter if he gets a disease,
it's already done forget it, Oh my god, bro h.
That is we apologize if we upset any any any
single one of you.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Yeah, don't die like tomorrow. That would be more No, No,
my hand would be better.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
No.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Also, I need more time to like actually get a
contract written up that I could.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
So hold on a second.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
So I thought it was OJ's cremated remains. It is,
We're turned into jewelry. It is, but I thought it
was specifically turning the jewelry for his kids. It was
turned into jewelry, like for people to buy it.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
I don't think we're gonna be able to buy it.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
I'm sure eventually, hell yeah, somebody, Yeah, somebody's getting a
piece of the juice for sure, But I think it's
for the family first, but like somebody had to ask
for permission from the family to do it.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
So again, I don't know what the jewelery is.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Going to be used for, and I've seen some mixed articles,
but I think it's pretty cool because like I heard
about this technology probably like twenty years ago out of Germany,
where you could turn your wife's remains into like a diamond,
and I Jen was like, yo, I'm in And I
was like cool, I'm gonna give it to my next wife,
like you know, and she was like all right, so
(26:38):
like we've had that conversation again.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
This is a binding contract. I get your hand.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
We are on a podcasts No, just kidding, I need
to get her on this too.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
But yeah, so I've seen this crazy stuff. It's just cool.
This is the first celebrity that I've seen with it.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
I wonder if they're going to make it into like
a cutcoat knife that would be ah.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
I just want to know, Like I want to know, like,
could you imagine that?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Check out my knife collection, like you know, and it's
this the Remains of OJ.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
This is a one of one o Jason's in knife
trying to be nice.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
It reminds me of Wolverine and Deadpool too with that scene.
So that's what I would do with OJ's remains. It's cool, man,
I I don't understand it. I guess like it's all
matter and like, you know, you could just turn it
into anything. I guess, like we're all just Adams.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
How do I like you know how like like it's
I don't know. I guess I read it and I
was like, oh, so it'll be like you know how
like you can like fill little lockets with stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I figured it was just like no, I read it
like he's gonna be like a gold chain. How I
read it?
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Like you tell me, they're just gonna little stardust of OJ.
Like that's lame, that's not gonna last. Put them in
an hour glass, like look at that OJ my neck.
Put him in an hour glass, like for the exact
amount of time you know it's took to kill two people,
or the or the chase or the chase like they
like this, like and we can all celebrate the chase,
(28:14):
like put j in an hour glass and just watch
the god man, it's the Broncos on ninety five.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Turn into a Bronco emblem, put it on your car
and be awesome.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
We live in such a great age, everybody.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
There was that comedy show where you sell like Bronco,
like from that year, Like, dude, could you imagine I'm
like a whack jock.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I'm sorry man, like in the.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Family of of I would have murdered him. He wouldn't
have made it. You kill my daughter, I'm freaking.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Got away with the murder and still got into trouble
to get himself arrested. Someone like you got away with
the most heinous crime and you've got locked up for
theft so dumb. Anyway, Uh, Cassianos, let's talk about him
(29:09):
real quick, and we're gonna see how this works. There
a better way for me to uh, I'll just hold
up to the mic. Is that the best way to
do it?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I didn't Yeah, I didn't cut the clip.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
That's if I if I hook into that, would it
play over the Do you have a headphone jack on this?
Speaker 1 (29:26):
No?
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Do you have iPhone? Yeah? iPhone? Yeah? Holdumb buddy. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
So Cassianos was basically asked the question if you were
if you were commissioner for a day, how would you
change the game? And this was his answer. By the way,
he's got his glove, he's got his shades, he got
a backwards hat, he's like in like workout clothes. But
(29:54):
then he's wearing slides. So I'm like super confused because
he's like wearing his glove like he was just shagging.
But he's dude, he's literally wearing slides.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
I don't know. Anyway, here we go.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
You're a commissioner for a day, what would you change
about the game?
Speaker 6 (30:08):
I would change that ownership doesn't have any severe consequences
for losing for an extended period of time, you know,
so like I just like, if we're in the big
leagues and we don't perform well, we get demoted or cut.
If their organization didn't perform well, somebody else would have
(30:29):
an opportunity to buy it from them, you know, just
to just you know, like keep keep it to where
nobody can really own the game of baseball, because the
game is above true ownership.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
But that would never happen. All right.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I know you hate it when I say this, but
my baseball purest I know you hate it.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
No, It's like one of those things that people call
you like, you know, everybody yet calls me a nice guy,
the one guys like I swear he goes home and
kicks his cat.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I was like a freaking hate cat. Yeah, of course
I'd kick my cat. I hate him. I like Pee
Wee per Man, but he also gives me hives every
time my volume and you like practically die. Bro. When
we had to do the show, when this was being
forget and you're that was like after I like.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
You clean vioreless, it was spotless, still looking like you
war man, your face is all red. I got the up, Like,
all right, let's I want to dive into what like somebody.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
We know, like, don't don't do it.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
I want to dive into this because at face value
it sounds okay, But the more I think about it,
it's stupid.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yo.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
It put me through a rabbit hole because then I
started thinking about and especially with all the fantasy drafts,
how like bart like, how strange it is like that
we still do drafts. You know, these poor players don't
get to pick what company they.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Work for, you know what I mean. And it's it's
not that all.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
The companies are equal either, Like how angry would you
be if you were the level of Bryce Harper and
you got signed to Oakland who doesn't even have a stadium?
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Right well, right, Well the point so here's the weird
part is it's it's a business like anything else. Yeah,
I don't think the ownership needs the consequences for having
a terrible ball club. Is is enough because you're not
making as much money as you would you're not selling
out these standards as ownership, Like owners don't want a
(32:40):
bad ball club. They're not trying to run it into
the ground. They want their business to thrive. So to
say like, oh, they don't have consequences like it's it
comes down to money like anything else. Like think of moneyball,
bro like you, it's not that the Oakland Athletics and
Billy Bean didn't want to win. They didn't have any
(33:01):
money to win. Ownership was not paying anybody.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
So like that's a problem.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
So because there's tons of money too, Like they're still billionaires,
like to own that. We couldn't own the worst. We
couldn't own a minor league team if we wanted to
right now. Like, so, like there's money in the game,
and I think that's what Cassianos is upset about.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Also the simple fact of.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
You know, maybe he's left some teams because of money.
I had to join other teams because there was good owners.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Now.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
The other thing that I think about is like no
offense to your Yankees, but you make money every single year.
You have Soto right now, you have a great lineup
where still kind of flawed, but you haven't won since
two thousand and nine, and you haven't been to a
World Series since two thousand and nine, correct, And that's
where they're in twenty fifteen. So there's there's different avenue
(33:57):
do that in the switch? Did I tell you? Like
my boss noticed I say that, yeah, and a few
other things. It was pretty funny. So I called you
immediately because he was like, Yo, dude, there's like things
that I checked down during your meetings with your clients
that you say and you figure out a way to
talk about Brooklyn. He's like, it's hilarious. Said again, yeah,
(34:18):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
I love it. So yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
So that that's my thoughts on the whole situation, Like,
it's not it's not a matter of like do I
think ownership is purposely doing it? I think the fear
of that would be great. I know there's other people
that would love to own the team. Hence what happened
with the Willponds. But then the Willpons like tried to backtrack.
I mean they had a deal with Cohen, they they
(34:43):
walked away from it. They had to deal with a
Rod and j Lo's company, and then god, they walked
away from that and offense a Rod presidente light finding
stores near you, you know things like that. But uh,
and I'm only saying thank God, I think a Rob
would have been a great owner.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Uh. They were explaining the whole entertainment process and people
were like, well, we're gonna have concerts and stuff, outside,
same thing Steve Cohen's doing outside of the stadium, guys focus.
Uh you know.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
So it's their concept was good, and I think they
would have been great owners as well. Uh you know,
but I love the Cohens. I think they're doing a
phenomenal job. Uh you know, but when you look at
owners throughout, like I look at the Knicks, like they're
hot now, but there was decades where they were like,
we're selling out the garden.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Who cares? You know?
Speaker 4 (35:33):
So when you look at ticket sales, that that's the
root of all evil sometimes with under with rich, underperforming teams,
and you know, and maybe the Knicks are kind of
like the Mets where everybody likes to use them to
get their price up, but nobody wants to play there,
you know.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Yeah, but it wasn't for lack of trying trying that
Like that's my whole point, you know what I mean, Like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
I get that.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
I mean there was some there's some like we should
if the Knicks wanted to really play, they could have
gotten some marquete players.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Yeah, I mean, I think, but it's not it's not
level playing field either. I mean, you think about how
many free agents end up going to play anywhere in
Florida because there's no state tax, you know what I mean,
or any state where they can get more bang for
their buck. It's like, you know, you got you have
these owners that are throwing this money at them, and
they're like, well, yeah, but that's the same money I'm
(36:23):
getting over here and I get to play, and it's
it's Miami.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Like this is where I get to live, This is
where I get to spend you know, three hundred days out.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Of the year or whatever. Like it's just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
I think it's like the concept that first is cool, Like, yeah,
that'd be awesome.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Though it's said it's never gonna happen. Nah, of course not.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
But it's hard enough to become an owner. You gotta
like get voted in by by the Legion of Doom.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Drink Lamb's Blood or whatever they do. I don't know
what they do. Good God, I don't know what they do.
But yeah, they got to get.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Approved and all that other stupid stuff, and then you
can still be an owner for millions and millions of years,
like Jerry Jones in the NFL, and everybody hates you publicly.
Players hate you publicly and you're just like whatever, I'm rich.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
I don't care. All right, we gotta take a break.
We come back pop culture. There's a bunch of stuff
we got to talking about, people lost in space, Starbucks,
skift cards. That's a lot of million, a lot of
a lot of a lot of it.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Probably all mind, dude.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
I'll we'll talk about we come back if I live
Fox Sports, the gamblers stay with us, dude, duh.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
We'll use this time to shout out icon of candy.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yeah, man, I've been craving those Squeeze Pop just released.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
I'm excited.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
Went like five blow is a little bit behind and
the lady's like, it's not here yet. I keep going,
like so some of those stories have not gotten it yet.
But they promised me there's a reset this weekend and
then they'll be on the shelves and I was like,
don't play with me.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
I believe it. Labor Day is uh, it.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Needs to be out like so you can check them
out Cracker Barrel online at a conniccandy dot com five below.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
A few other retailers throughout the globe. Uh, that's beautiful,

Speaker 3 (39:57):
All right, let's get into a few things here.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
So apparently there's two astronauts that are stuck in space
and they are not going to the Boeing.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Star Line or astronaut I don't know. I didn't even
know if people were up there. I definitely yeah, you
just said the B word Boeing. Yeah. Yeah, I'll take
that hand now, because come out, I didn't say anything
anything wrong. You're going to say that left people. No, no, no, no,
I didn't say that, and they're not bringing them home.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
That's the star Liner that left. I'm just brand loyalty,
that's all. I'm just saying that, you know, given credit
where credits due. Okay, So they're going to be stranded
in space for like eighty days. They're not coming home
until twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
And I thought it was bad when my uber said
halfway through the ride, I'm not taking you the other way.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
I want to go home. What Yeah, I am a
number driver to do that to me.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
And then I was like, all right, well, I'm going
to report this He's like, no, no, no, just cancel the ride,
then call Uber and get a refund. Like in other words,
he still wanted the full payment of the entire ride.
I was like, bro, none of that's happening. So, like
I'm awkwardly sitting in this man's car and dude, he
starts screaming, get out of my car. I was like,
(41:05):
I need to figure out where I am, and then
I'm gonna get out of your car, you know.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
So then I had to call the operator. It was
it was a horrifying Where were you going home from
a game?
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Like I took it from Philly, yeah, and he just
got he picked up the ride and he was like no,
never mind.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
He was just like I don't know, like maybe somebody
DMed him a pick or something and they're like five
minutes or you get nothing.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Maybe he shot his pants. I didn't smell anything. I
just said, shit, that's okay. I said it twice. It'll
be easy to find an edit. But yeah, they uh, Bro.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
Man, no, it was that happens. And I'm like and
then like, yeah it was.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
It was like a company thing and we didn't have
parking tickets, so I was like, bro, forty bucks a park,
I'll just uberh you know, like, yeah, it's so much better,
especially when it's a big game. Uh So I still
do recommend it.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
This was horrifying.
Speaker 4 (42:01):
I didn't then I didn't get home to like one thirty,
and I was like I wanted to screen.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Yeah, so I get out of his car and I
leave his car door open, so he has to get
out and shut it. Bro that and depending on how
rude that man is and.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
He gets out to shut it, und you too, Like
I added some of my work stuff, like, you know,
Like so I was just like I'm getting back out
of the car and people like, what's going on? I
was like, I'm stuck here now? And it was a
seven eleven.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
You know how bad that is to be at a
seven eleven trying to figure out to get another Uber
during like a search. So like you're seeing all these
ubers pass you, but you're now stuck in an area
where they don't normally pick up, and they're all picking
up at the stadium.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
So like it was like, dude, like thirty forty minutes.
It was awful. So damn man, moment of silence for
that terrible situation.
Speaker 4 (42:53):
But almost as bad as being lost in left in space.
Just that might be worse than being at least left
in space. You know where you are allegedly.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
I gat we say space, we really need mean like
the studio that NASA makes the space in, because that's
not a real thing.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
Did you know? Did you know?
Speaker 4 (43:09):
Like it's kind of like being snowed in though, like
you were supposed to be there for a weekend. Now
it's probably like, all right, I'm done with it.
Speaker 3 (43:15):
It's like, how exhausting could that brow? Eighty days? Yeah,
forget that where you're like, okay.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Seen space, seeing all there is in the space. I'd
like to come home now. And imagine if it's too
two pilots that like don't get along, Like imagine if
they're like just like friendly with each other because they're like, oh,
I can spend you know what I mean, Like you
go on vacation with someone and it's like an extended friend.
They're like, I could spend you know, five days of
them whatever, and then you're like, no, you gotta spend
(43:42):
eighty days.
Speaker 4 (43:43):
Even on golf course, like you meet a stranger and
it's like the first couple of holes you're like, all right,
I like this guy Nabe the ninth all you're feeling it,
but like the fifteenth or sixteen, it's like, you know what,
you're kind of annoying.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
By by a whole thirteen when he's still taking breakfast
balls and hitting out of bounds and then sinking a
pun insane but made bar Yo count again, buddy.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
And then yeah made par Yeah take that the visional
one dude.
Speaker 4 (44:10):
We were taking his like yo, but like two guys
arguing with each other, I always count what he's like.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
I always count trotle lie. That was only a bogey.
He was like, dude, it was like an eight bar
was a double par man nuts.
Speaker 4 (44:27):
I I agreed with everything they said because I felt
like they might add some bodies in their trunks.
Speaker 3 (44:32):
Oh yeah, old Italian dude. It was crazy. It was great.
It was It was a load of fun.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
But like when you know somebody's voice is the voice
because the amount of cigarettes they've consumed and whiskey, Like yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
I felt like if because he offered us for a croissant,
because you see, packed breakfast he offered us. No, he
wasn't like hey man, like I got granold. He was
just like I have some croissants I picked up and
we were like, now we're good. We offered it to
us like three or four times. Should sure you guys
don't want to croissan Oh wait, we'd be dead. There
was something in those croissants. Wake up at a seven eleven.
Speaker 4 (45:09):
It's kind of like the first time, like you ever see, uh,
where's the meat loaf?
Speaker 3 (45:13):
And he's like, you know what, yeah, I really love them,
Like we did have that moment. We did have.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
We'll take but we were like, no, thanks, buddy, not
a croissant.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
Your fan's gonna hate it again. Yeah, sorry, we just
Starbucks gift card.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
Starbucks has released that they have one point seven seven
billion dollars in unredeemed gift cards gift cards just sitting
there like that's an insane amount of money. See like
one point seven seven billion gift cards.
Speaker 3 (45:50):
It unredeemed. It's Elon on one card. He's just waiting
for them to have the worst like financial crisis of
star and then swipe it's one point seven billion game card.
It's outrageous.
Speaker 7 (46:06):
It's absolutely outrage perfect sense though, dude, I'm just telling you,
and I bet you they'll never have that number will
only go up, it will not go down.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
Those cards are gone. Well, Starbucks has already made more money.
I mean with the investment, just with inflation alone. It's
just like, you know, you get a gift card, you
forget about it for a year, and the prices go up.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
I have a Starbucks gift card in my car right now,
but I don't like Starbucks, so things like that's I
think it was only for like five that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (46:37):
It was like five Bucks too.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
I'm grateful, don't get me wrong, like end of year
gifts when kids are like, thank you so much and
they give me like a dunkin Donuts gift card for
five Bucks or Starbucks, but like I'm like, thank you, but.
Speaker 4 (46:47):
Like, come on, have you ever gotten home with nothing
on it?
Speaker 3 (46:51):
Not yet?
Speaker 4 (46:52):
That umpire when we used to play softball, huh the
one team did that to him and he was like
he still every time I saw him, Like.
Speaker 3 (47:00):
I don't like that guy. The team used to play
for give me a nice card, thanked me for the season.
So there was like two hundred bucks on this gift card.
I was so taken back. I swipe it at the register.
Zero freaking dollars. Bro. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
That so that's a great situation for a lot of reasons,
and we're gonna go over time, but we have to
talk about this number one. That's the most passive aggressive
thing you can ever do to somebody, because even if
you're gonna see that person again, you could be like
what na no, I oh, I don't even have the
receipt on me. But that's we all collected money for that.
Speaker 3 (47:36):
Was it a problem at the register? Like you know
what I mean, Like you can act them?
Speaker 2 (47:39):
Yeah, right, because when you you're not gonna be like, dude, no,
there's not stop playing with me.
Speaker 3 (47:42):
No there was. The other thing is like the balls.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
Like it's not even like that was your last year
in the league and you're like, screw this guy.
Speaker 4 (47:49):
And this was the steroid dude, like he was jacked
up all the time. He was a beast of an umpire.
Speaker 3 (47:56):
To really pick a fight with him is unreal. One
time he threw a bat at me and one of
the guys want to go after him. I was like, no,
I'm cool. You could throw whatever he wants. Yes, Like everybody,
calm down. I told him just don't go for the head.
He's okay, you can't shoulders and down. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (48:09):
Yeah, Like it was kind of like the it was
my version of the Clemens Piazza batsh my god, Like
it was like I was just there he I didn't.
Speaker 3 (48:19):
Agree with the call, but I was like, are you sure?
Speaker 4 (48:22):
And then all of a sudden the back came and
it was like that felt like deliberate, and the one
kid who never gets angry got angry, and I was like, yo, dude,
it's actually cool, Like you know, I actually pay.
Speaker 3 (48:32):
Extra from the throw stuff at me, like you know,
like I was like trying to make a calm down
the situation, but like I was like, oh my god,
that guy could have killed us all. Like so to
give him so much two.
Speaker 4 (48:43):
Hundred dollars gift card with nothing on it, could you
imagine like maybe he's got like you know, cheetos, like
just buying groceries.
Speaker 3 (48:50):
His family's there.
Speaker 2 (48:51):
Well, because when you like, when you have, like you
just buy stuff that you wouldn't buy for yourself, like
the Walk of Shane back from that register, I'd be
too proud.
Speaker 3 (48:59):
I'm like, I guess I spent two hundred dollars like
what But he's like.
Speaker 2 (49:02):
Oh, I do I would pay to see that reaction
if I'm gonna go through the trouble to give him,
I'm following that guy around to see that.
Speaker 3 (49:14):
Yeah, I agree. I agree, Like it's it's like a
no WL, wait until he uses it. But so I
think about that a lot.
Speaker 4 (49:24):
Like and we actually had a gift card issue, like
Peyton's gift card that Laura got her a couple of
years ago or something. It was like Valentine's Day or something.
She was just like, here's a gift card. But it
was like, oh, that's really cool. It wasn't like something
you would expect a gift and she's like, yeah, I
wanted to do it.
Speaker 3 (49:40):
I thought it was cute. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (49:42):
So she did it and we get to register and
it's not working. It's like now we're like awkward, like
texting her like hey, we don't really we hope you
didn't get charged. Like it was like it was cool,
we don't need the gift card. We paid for Peyton's
gift and on review like blah blah blah, shu, I
don't know I pay. And then it turned out they
put it all on the first gift card and she
(50:03):
bought multiple ones, so it was an air at the registers.
So the one kid got thirty and the other two
got zero or whatever it was like, So it was fine.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
There was somebody else too, And it's my biggest fear
buying a gift card for someone and having the person
at the register in messed up, or.
Speaker 4 (50:22):
Like donating money and like this happened once, Like you
donate money and you had one too many zeros.
Speaker 2 (50:30):
Yeah, I don't mind giving for the cause, but I
don't want to give that much.
Speaker 4 (50:33):
Ten ten, it's fine, one hundred, you know. Now we
raised a ton of money. We're gonna be.
Speaker 3 (50:39):
Doing a walk for the children Specialized Hospital, so we're
gonna make a team. Definitely. I'm gonna make you go there.
It's in Somerset, Man.
Speaker 4 (50:48):
Details to come. It's in in October. There'll be a
press release October.
Speaker 3 (50:53):
I don't kidding, I'm in that's what a weather.
Speaker 4 (50:56):
But yeah, that's it. I got nothing else. We're way
over time. We're way over eat us up in the
chipmunks on the radio.
Speaker 2 (51:02):
So yeah, that's that's fine. We'll do whatever. I don't
just do whatever on the radio. You already cursed, just
like whatever, just play the first segment twice.
Speaker 3 (51:09):
It's like okay. It's like, hey, uh, why don't I
still sound the same. That's all sped up. I have
a good week. We'll be back next week. Guys Divide
