Oh, thank you twins. Yeah. I have three children now
under the age of two years old, so I'm exhausted.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Life is good. Life is good.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
What was your initial reaction when you learned you were
gonna have twins?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It's it's not appropriate for on air. Okay, it doesn't
run in the family though, right it does.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
My mother's a twin. Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. It's
just very hard.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Right now skips a year, so like curses you, but
it won't curse your kids.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It's kind of weird. Yeah, well, look, man, Mets Phillies.
Who would have thought we'd have meaningful baseball in September?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Not you guys, No, you guys, we pretty much know
it from day one. That was that was that was brutal.
I mean, honestly, honestly the best policy. It really is.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Best team in baseball since the All Star Break, the
New York Mets. I like to point that fact out.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, you know, the.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Biggest vibe since the All Star Break, the New York Mets.
Whether you want to talk miss oh my God, shout
outs to j mac custom.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I brought my son with me.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Boys.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, you're I heard you're afraid to bring it in though,
I'm going to bring it in. Got that thing on you,
I got that thing on me.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Where's that sign? Where is it?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I didn't want to. I didn't want to steal his thunder.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
H He's doing some amazing stuff, uh for the next
seven games, and like, honestly, I didn't want to steal
his thunder, so I didn't want to put it on
the broadcast.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I won't bring it in with me. I posted it.
It is in the car, but.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So hopefully none of you Philly fans see it and
I'm break into my car and take it.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
What do you think about all like the gimmicky stuff
that that the Mets do, because some of it, I mean,
as if you were a fan of the Mets, something's
got to be kind of like fun to rally around,
right as outsiders.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I think it's like loser stuff. Yeah, but like what
the fans do, like the tradition.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
To the songs they came up, Oh my god, they
do grims, they do these little rallies.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Dohnny Diesel Yeah, to get around.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Is the guy with the silk coast jacked?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
He was like Petelnzo the guy with the silk he had,
uhh yeah the guy.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Okay, yeah, patch patch Man Phil. There you go.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, you guys got a bunch of mask on us. Yeah,
we got the pin Man, Patchman Phil. You know, wet
the cowbell Man. Yeah, we're a gimmicky thing, a four
dark night, Like, everything's like cool, do you get We
get one ace and we're thinking we're going to the
World Series.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It's awesome. But I will also point out that the
Mets have just the same amount of World Series as
the Phills, you know. So yeah, I remember ours though,
I mean ours are the most memorable. The Miracle Mets.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Nineteen sixty nine, we landed on the moon and the
Mets won the World Series. Grank you for that one.
I was I was somewhere. I was here, I was
probably here. I believe in reincarnation slash. Okay, just so
you know, so I was here nineteen eighty six. My
first memory New York Mets winning the World Series. Thank you,
Bill Buckner.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Rip.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
But yeah, dude, everything we do is gimmicky. I'm not
gonna lie to you.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
But this one's working. This one's working for a change.
Only eighteen games left. We're in the postseason right now.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Yeah, I mean, this is gotta be the most exciting
you've been and all start in the beginning of season April,
you had no.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Oh, I was over. We had a dance crew. We
had a dance crew. That's all we had. We had
the Queen's Dance crew. That's the only thing we had
to rely on when the season started. Those first two
months horrifying. It was so hard to be a Met fan.
I thought your season was over when you had the
hook to a.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Girl on there. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
That that was a rough week. That was a rough week.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'm not gonna lie you know that that was a
missed up. Somebody from marketing or PR, a.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Little bump in the rope. And then you got back
on track. You said, I went in some games. I
know you're back in the playoff phrase.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
It's pretty exciting, man, it's pretty exciting. I did want
to share something about the Phillies. Philly Fanatic was rated
the best mascot ever, deservedly ever. And here's my argument
with you both. If the Mets gave missus Met the
helm and made her the go to mascot, she would take.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Over that there's a chance there she got some cake.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, we got all one, O, four or five here,
damn and Jess see, man, it's been so cool.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I was in London.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Jesse had Kyle on her show and they called me
from London Square.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I was hitting baseballs into the freaking city.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
It was nuts.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
It was yeah, probably a little dribbler down right.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah. I was gonna say hitting Yeah, baseballs into the
city is a wild common Yeah, Like it was great.
It was great. I call one hundred feet top.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Man, that's that's rough.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
But I like a post roll in in my sales
role that would be under promise over delivered.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So I promised you I would over deliver. I have
a lot of baseball friends.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
So yeah, so listen, dude, we were in London. We
had this conversation and we're like, hey, we got to
bring this back. And I saw Friday the thirteenth on
the calendar. At that time, I did not think the
Mets would be remotely where they were. You know, we
barely scraped by in London. We're lucky that the Phillies
did not sweep that series. And now we're sitting here
(05:56):
and you know, seven games out of first place, which
is on believable but in a wildcard spot and you
know it's it's just been fun.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
I mean you guys, like I said, you had no
intention to be in here, and this is exciting for
for everybody.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I think, right and meaningful baseball.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
I think that's all you can ask for a beautiful
September night and there's meaningful baseball.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah. Well, and also you know the Phillies when it
comes to the division, it's wrapped up, right, we can
we can all agree on that. No, dude, I would
say it's like a verbal agreement. Yeah, since I heard
a verbal agreements.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah, there's no signatures, yeah dude.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, the Mets have to have a shot to do
the funniest thing that they've ever done in their lives
and kind of right the wrong that happened in two
thousand and seven and nine, two thousand and eight, they.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Or they'll play the hits and do what they do
every year and yeah I play.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, bro, this has been weird, man, like they they
literally don't outside of a home run sign lindor just
being an endorsement for MVP.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That's who I got, Mark.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
I was talking about earlier guy taking advantage of of
a spot where he gets an opportunity like that talk
about Mark Viento's.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah in the back and forth with Pete Alonzo too,
like U, but yeah, Mark, Mark's been unreal like so,
like third base was the biggest question mark with the
Mets absolutely, Uh, you know, Brett Batty, he's doing his
thing in the minor leagues, but obviously, uh, you know,
Mark has made that his home and it's just been
absolutely insane. Uh to just watch the stats like it's
(07:29):
it's good because like ever ever since d Wright, like
we haven't had anybody in that corner that you could
really say wow, like, you know, except for Todd Fraser,
that was a great couple of years.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Sorry Todd Freudian slip up there, but.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, dude, yeah, I kind of messed up there. That's
my one guy.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
And I was like, we're but right was there technically
right when Todd was like, I feel like it would
know better than yeah, so right was just injured.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
So well, let me ask you something as as an
outsider of the New York Mets. If you guys make
the postseason, what do you think your biggest concern will be?
Is it just playing better? Teams. Do you have glaring
deficiencies that you have to that are gonna you know,
come to light come playoff season?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, I don't want that smack down the reality, right, Like,
so I don't want it to be like, oh, new season,
and we got to find ourselves again, because if we
start the postseason the way we started the regular season,
we're gonna be in.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
We're gonna be out quick.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
What I will say is like, we're also playing with
house money, how much fun?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Like now you're stressed about the Phillies, right.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
That's why I was gonna get to the twenty two Phillies.
This is right where they were, exactly right where the
Mets are, right. So also like I saw the.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
In twenty twenty two, I saw the path for the
Phillies and it was a way more enjoyable path than
the Mets even had, right and they won, Well, there
were one more games they should have had the easier path.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It wasn't you guys had what was the first tame?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
You played the Cardinals?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
The Cardinals and then you went to Braves and the
Braves are you know, stale?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
And now the Braves And we just talked about this
off the air, But Pete and I were talking about
it the Braves this spring training, was like, hey, maybe
we won't win the division because wild card is better
because you get the play more.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
And we're like, that's the dumbest thing you could ever do.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
You can never like And now like maybe if they
lost one or two games, they're they're they're wishing they
didn't do that.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Now.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
I was arguing with you about that earlier, saying that
the wildcard teams the number one teams if you look
at him historically over the last two seasons, Dodgers, Braves
two years ago, the Padres. You get that first round,
by you're sitting for five days. It's almost the same
as an All Star break. Then you come back and
everybody's cold. So I'm fine with wildcard. If I'm playing
my best ball in October, I'm playing every day. I
don't want to sit for five days. Okay, So for me,
(09:46):
I don't care, dude, if you're playing, I want to
play every day. We'll play every day if we're playing
good ball.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
The only thing that scares me, and we'll get the
slashest point in a second, is it's only three games, right,
anybody could win a series, right, so you know that
scares me.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Five games.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
You gotta really bring your a game to beat me
seven game series, got to bring your a game to
beat me three games. Anything could happen. You saw that
with the Padres and the Mets. We had the grom
we had Chureser, you know, and and house money. On
the third we were talking about, all right, we'll do
Max and if we win that first game, then we'll
you know, we'll go to our fourth or fifth starter, because.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Then they would line us up for the next series.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yeah, you know, Well, the thing that makes me confident
is the Phillies dealing with the injuries that they already
have and still overcoming those. So that's a big thing
in baseball, right. Oh, your your starter goes down, your
third basement goes down. You got these guys stepping up,
and Phillies are still overcoming those obstacles, continuing to win.
With guys sitting out, people are stepping up. Buddy Kennedy
is playing third base. Identity by such a bad playing.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Third base tonight.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
So you got these guys coming up, taking advantage of
their opportunities, and that's that gives you confidence as a fan.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
You're just like, dude, these are these are dudes that
are ready to play. So that makes me feel good.
I think that all gets thrown out in the watch.
They'll come playoff season. I mean it's good now, but
when it comes to the spotlight, you got to have
your best players healthy. Sure, you can't rely on these
Buddy Kennedy's right, but we're not losing games in the
division exactly exactly. But that that just plays right into
my point where I call me old fashion now, but
(11:15):
I rather have less games to get to the World Series.
So I do care if you have to play in
the wild card round, you know, being that we've been
in at the last two seasons. Yeah, you know, you
can see how these can go. Yeah, I mean the
Cardinals had that Game one wrapped up and then next
thing you know, you know, a flick of the wrist
and from Gene Sigora means and the whole series turns.
(11:39):
I mean, we're just lucky that it was in our
favorite at that point, and then you gain momentum off
of that. But a three game series is way too
short to determine who is the best team. We were,
you know, in the best situation of that heading in
especially in twenty two because we you know, we're playing
with house money. Now, we're in a situation where we've
been in first place most of the year. I don't
(12:00):
want to be caught in a situation where we would
be playing in a wild card, which you know, the
odds are completely against that right now. But it goes
to my point where, yeah, I want to play the
least amount of games, and I want to have the
easiest pant the World Series, no matter how hot or
how cold you are, and home field advantage.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, obviously, No, obviously, the expanded playoffs has changed everything,
even the trade deadline. Like it's crazy, right, the Mets
should have been sellers in the old structure. Now they're
you know, they weren't buyers, but they they made moves,
and I'm really proud of them, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I Galazia's like he's been insane, whether it be singing,
getting the team going. There was a yo, there was
an off day, right, So the Oh my God song
one of the hottest Latin songs right now, I would say,
right fair by us. Yeah, no major League Baseball player.
So listen the team's vibe in they're at like a
(12:56):
charity event. They start singing this song. Next thing, you know,
this sign is made by j Mac Customs, you know,
and they're off for the races.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
They had a live concert after the game with my man.
It's just been it's been absolutely insane and it's just
like like you said, we get into this every single year.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
This is the deepest that's ever gone because Donnie Diesel
was gone before August. You know, the Mets typically implode,
and it's it's the opposite. They they got off to
a rough start, they found themselves as a team. This
is stuff that that.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Movies are made of. And I know I'm getting ahead
of myself, but that's what Met fans do.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yeah, well, you gotta be excited to for your ownership
as a fan of a baseball team. When you have
an owner that is a baseball fan, an owner that's
trying to win games, that's an easy team to be
a fan of because they're gonna spend money, they're gonna
do make smart moves. They're not treating this like a
business and just trying to get as much overhead and
profit as possible.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
So with uh which is Steve Cohen, Yeah, he's uncle
Stevie dude, Like he's spending money, so you gotta be
excited for that for the next you know, however long
he owns a team, it's a good vibe.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
It's also Alex.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Cohen, She's like kind of created the culture, uh in
in the.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Fan base and also on the team, like it's a family.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
It's it's it's a whole different experience where the will
Ponds was kind of like, uh, you know, working for
Apple or.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Steve Jobs where they just thought they were above people.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah, charging you extra for chargers and headphones. You have
to throw them in the box right for real.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
So inflation man, yeah, and and look like so we're
very fortunate to have the Cohens.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
For sure.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
They're gonna build this area is amazing, Infinity live all
three stadiums here.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
When you go to Queens right now, there's a chop shop.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, you know if the opens there, Yeah, you get
to see some cool tennis.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
But outside of that, the World's Fair is gone and dead.
It is.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
It's so sad to go around there. And the Cohens
are gonna change that. Plans for you plans yeah, to
have the New York Team football club team there everything
a casino like obviously everything Philadelphia has.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Hopefully we'll be in.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Queen's Saint Louis has that Chicago has that they build
an experience around the stadium because then it becomes a
part of a uh tourist attraction. And as well, you're
bringing these people in coming to the game, so again
spending money getting people to uh.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
You guys, are you guys are moving that direction? Meanwhile
the Sixers are trying to move over across the river.
So not excited about that.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
It's crazy man, and and the Devil's ownership being the same,
like they already know how to navigate New York New
Jersey government.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Like you guys find losing Sixers.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
That's hilarious. I have mentally lost the Sixers, uh, you know,
three years ago. So I don't even want to get
started on that.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
So we got to bring in our star jam and Jesse. Jesse,
if you you're available for a few minutes, UH.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Might love to have you step away from your fans. First,
you got another mic and we got another headphone.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Come behind you guys. Yeah, they're just tagging the Philly
Captain and just.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Tag no biggie here we are. Yeah, that was a
great interview you had.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
It's such a Gilbert Goffrey like, you know, and I'm
gonna it is. Yeah, I'm gonna take so many shots
at him if we're gonna talk Philly captain, because he.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Took a few shots at me the last couple of days. Yeah,
I did that.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I did that thing for an appliance company that is
not sponsoring this, So shout outs to Gearharts. Actually you
need your appliances. Go to Gearharts dot com, family owned company.
They're pretty amazing. But I did something for another company.
And he loves to tell me that I'm not crazy, Eddie,
and I'm like, yeah, I'm not crazy, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I'm not in jail.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
It's like if Gilbert Goffrey were also not on drugs.
Oh dude, it's crazy.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
That's exactly what his voice sounds like.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
It should be like Philly Gotfrey or something that should
be his real name.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
All right, So do you guys think that well, I
guess they could handies out in the dugout. Do you
think that bubble jug should make like one with like
nicotine in it for the players?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yo?
Speaker 7 (16:52):
So good idea? Right.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I can't share this with you, but I kind of candy.
He's going to do some of my cara in the
in the in the situation in the gum in industry.
And let's say it's not nicotine, it would be something else,
kind of mellows you out. I've said too much.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
I've said too much. Water would be a good.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
No, water that's gonna have a flavor to it.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Well maybe not.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
I mean they could, they could cover up flavors my childhood.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
The one thing they do.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah, and it's kind of great because shout outs the
big League too, you know that's they've been on the show. Uh,
they're awesome people. But thank god all those horror pictures
when we were kids of like people chewing because I
never put nicotine in my mouth because I was afraid
a beautiful face would be Really you.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
Know who has a huge wad every time he goes
up to bat.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Sean Brace zo.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yo feels rare.
Speaker 7 (17:53):
Whatever I can on those is it like PC?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, I don't go on like Brace gives me like
the seven A m P S A moments. It's like
Lorraine has all the other stations and I'm on the
candler literally.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
But yeah, you could say it.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
You could say it.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
But also there's looks like.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
He's like head of the Philly and Nitros mafia. Like
every time I'm like, I know him.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, he's a lot of problems though I know him.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, your fellow dippers, Yo, remember when Philly had that
issue where everybody was giving those balloons outside?
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah, problem.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
But as a kid, like how many kids did you hear.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
The adults have one? Yeah it's not helium, but I'll
tell you that.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
That was out of pocket.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Man.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
We have grown and matured as Philadelphians.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
We have we just can't have dollar dog. No, apparently not.
So we've grown in some places, but have regressed another.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Speaking of Philly, Captain, we found out yesterday that Kyle
Swarber does, in fact put ketchup on his hot talk.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
What are your feelings on that? The first twenty five
years a mile ketchup on hot dog. I have grown
into a man and have accepted the fact that you
need to have ketchup and mustard on a hot dog. Yes,
the mixture is just unbelievable, just like you do. But
you do both with a burger, correct, Yeah, go hand
in hands.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
You should not be so worried about what other man
is putting on their meat, their meat.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Missile, right, put whatever you want on it? Talking about barbecue, right, yeah, okay,
all right.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Uh, I'm from Brooklyn. Nathan's it's mustard or bust so.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Great. I like everything running through the garden. I run
it through. I'll rock all the other toppings. I just
won't put ketchup on it, but I will share.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
When you put a little ketchup on bread, it actually
tastes amazing, like like a Hamburger bontos. Like ketchup on
bread is pretty good.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
I'll eat it. I'm from Brooklyn. I'll eat a ketchup sandwich.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Times are tough sometimes.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
All right, Potato rolls with potato chips smashed into the
role in mayonnaise like a ship sandwich.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
Yep, what is I love fat stuff?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I make sometimes I make like a poor man's pizza,
so like cheddar cheese and like maybe a slami or
pepperoni like lefto.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, like on a slice of white bread or potato bread.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
That's so much.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
To do that poor man's pizza.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I'm not going to do that. I'd rather spend the
six dollars on like the pre made pizza. Yeah, you
could do that your top dog now and or no
our job. I'm not you are I'm not. I. I
can put out the six dollars, though I hate the brag.
I can't put up the six dollars for a for
a full pizzas a family of four.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
As I'm on here, my daughter asked if she could
purchase something on an app, So I like dollars elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I'm gonna eat pepperoni bread for a week if you purchase.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
But what's the weirdest thing you've ever like? Concock?
Speaker 6 (20:57):
I mean, the Mayo sandwiches were a thing when I
was younger, and then the potatato and.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Mao, did you ever do that?
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Yeah, it's just really good.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Peanut butter and bread and chili. I did that in
college a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Really it sounds weird, but you take a piece of bread,
put peanut butter around it, and you put it in
your chili. This sounds weird, but it was a college thing.
I don't know, I haven't done it since, but it.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Was just like, hey, this tastes good.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
It's just sweet.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
If you're walking by and you're not going to come
into exfinity, we have every reason you should thank you
to the Cruise and App. We're giving away a signed
Trey Turner Jersey. Shout out to the one oh four
or five for promoting it all week, Jam and Jesse,
Stacey's here, Ties here, everybody's here just promoting this stuff.
We're giving out Weezer tickets every thirty minutes on the
(21:44):
air right now, courtesy of Iconic Candy, Clear Rum and
the Cruising App. And if you don't know what the
Cruise and app is, it's c r u Z e
N And it's a peer to peer service. So if
you have a flat tire, you have dead battery, you're
on the road, and it's everybody it's been there. When
(22:04):
you're on the side of the road, the first thing
you want to do is get off the side of
the road.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
It's scary, especially in Philadelphia as a whole. Right now, Yeah,
so uh, this.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Matches you peer to peer almost like an uber. With
the mechanic, they have over eighty certified mechanics in Philadelphia
that will come and service you, so you'll know exactly
when they leave.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
The shop where they are.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Just like your pizza or anything else you deliver via app,
you will know where your mechanic.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
Is say, Triple A way better, way better than Triple app.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
You can actually track them because you know they love
to tell you yeah, we'll be there in.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Forty minutes, but you're still on the se way to
two hours on the side of ninety exit, Like why
do I pay for the.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
And the crazy part is people are like, don't God
for Triple A, Like, you know, no, thank God for
the cruising app changing it. Pretty soon you'll be able
to use it to get details, uh other other card things.
Uh so inspections. They're they're really going to take this
to storm. We're lucky that it's a Philly owned company
and we get it first.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
That's so cool.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
But yeah, look for them nationally.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
So I might just hit a speed bump going fifty
just to try it today.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
I might. You'll be good.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So listen, Jesse, I did something and I'm embarrassed. I
know Philly Captain mentioned it to you. But Luke Arkaney
from Crossing broad uh from Fox Sports The Gambler, Yeah,
shout out to look. Yeah, Luke and I last night
were at Yards with Kyle Schwarber. I was feeling it.
Mets are doing well. He came up to me He's like, yo,
(23:34):
we got to put a wave drop this, and he's like,
what do you want? I was like, I was like money,
and he's like I was like, I don't really want
to take some body.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
He's a kid, right, I don't want to take some
kids freaking money.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
So yeah, Jansen goes yo hair hair on hair match
and I was like, but I'm bald, and he goes, no,
you're beard. So it's my beard versus Luke Arcaney's mustache
that makes him look like that country singer everybody likes.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Sorry they did.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Morgan Toby's dead.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I killed Wendy Williams today. I thought I forgot She's
just sick. I thought you passed well.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Kyle literally thought that Usher was dead.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
He he went, you know, the the late great Usher.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I was dead his career almost that night, inside joke.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
He had to be there.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
He brought it back during died yeh. It was bad.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
It was bad.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
See I didn't think it was.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I packed up two studios filled of stuff. Why he
performed and I felt more satisfied than every single person
that walked out of that performance.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
It was a show. Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
He tried to do like an unplugged but really like
he made us sing like it.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
Was really did he make Did he make love in
the club in front of you?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
He did? He did, he did.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
But he wasn't dancing either, And I feel like that's
part of it, that that is his name.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I mean, that's I mean I I always thought I
wasn't good looking enough, because this dude could do it
all right. He's dancing in the rings power has it
bad and like all the so you could dance and
he does like these things.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
And that song was about he used to date Chili
from she was and he broke her heart.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
He cheated on her chili. Chili usually don't.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
He's not peanut butter delicious.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
We can do an r I P.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Left Eye did pass left I was the best.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
A lot of r I PSY She was the best.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Uh Aliyah to aliaht who.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
Was my first CD.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Let's talk about basic, right you guys, love you guys,
love you love you.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Bye.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah, So, as dude, the stadium is starting to pack up,
but this is going to be a crazy weekend. You know,
It's still meaningful baseball for the Phillies, more so for
the Mets. Nola's on the mound.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I want to talk about about a guy that I
care about. Honestly, there's a guy. Uh that's mister Walker.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
He's getting a lot of bad publicity, mostly on your socials,
Philadelphia socials. They've actually taken his jersey, like when he
got signed and they put the jersey on him, they
put it in reverse, so it looks like they're taking
it off of them and hanging it back up. It's
pretty messed up. But Taiwan Walker is struggling, obviously likely
(26:29):
never going to pitch the rest of the year unless
it's garbage time, right.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yeah. So, but my man has a heart of gold.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
He would literally die to play hard baseball.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
And I know that from when he was with the
Mets and I've seen him with you guys.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Yeah, and you see he's willing to die on the mound.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
I mean he's getting rocked yep, any after any and
he's saying, I'm still willing to go out I'll still
go out back for Nolan.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
I know it's not what it should be, but he's
still he's willing to.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Die on the mount. You got to give it to him.
Can't have it, can't have it. But yeah, you respect
him as a man, as a person as a ballplayer.
It's just not up to caliber of what needs to
be played right now.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yeah, And I mean, is this the last we're gonna
see if Taiwan because they don't have a viable backup
to him. They threw out that starter in a conceding
game against Miami. You got lit up. Tyler Phillips has
self imploded since his first outing. I don't think they
have anybody right now that's better than Taiwan Walker. Yeah,
I can fill that fifth spot.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
It's eighteen games. He's not gonna be playing if, like,
if the Mets somehow swept this series.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Well, the Philly's better win tonight because I think tomorrow
might be an automatic loss considering you're you look at
the website right now, it's TVD. They're trying to figure
out where in that carousel of starting pitching in that
number five spot, who's going to be out there in
the first inning throwing the first pitching.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Well, because also you got to start timing for the
playoffs too.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Yeah, yeah, although they likely will have a nice five
day break at the minimum.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Yeah, man, So look like how I want to mention
this dude, brings Harper is not the healthiest right now.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
You know where if you heard them, and that's what
I had a problem with this earlier when they were
talking about not running out balls. He should have been
on second blah blah blah, everybody, he's got to running out.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
It's been a kind of a thing. Yeah, the guy
is elbow injury. He's too usual.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
You want him sliding into second base. I don't need that, dude.
I need you to perform in October. So let's be
smart about this kind of stuff. So when people are
getting down on each round and I don't care. I
don't care about that. He said it was a single,
he came around and scored. They won the game anyway. Whatever,
Be smart, be safe. You see, I think got Schwarber
when he was coming back from from an injury. He
legged out a double and everyone's like, whoa, what are
(28:39):
you doing?
Speaker 3 (28:39):
He got talked out. It's like they're like, slow down,
pump the brakes, and.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
You should treat your all stars that you're paying their
three hundred million dollars for the same way.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Well, wasn't it just a week earlier when you know
Harper was already hurt then he got hit by that pitch.
It kind of emphasized his injuries a little bit more.
They were talking about putting put him on the ten day.
I l yeah, and then a week later, now he's
not leaking out doubles. Yeah, but which is it?
Speaker 5 (29:01):
And they don't mention this is the same guy who
tour his hamstring trying to run out infield a single,
busting his butt. So don't tell me that Bryce Harper
isn't trying to do everything in his power to bring
a trophy to this city.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Do not tell me that.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
But he learned first base quickest person to ever come
back from Tommy Dons.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Yeah, and I hate it. I love Reese Hoskins what
he did for the city. Bryce Harper is a way
better defensive first base than the Ree Hoskins and he's
in his first seasons starting.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Dude, But talking about those things that you can't the
Hoskins family was so cool, man. She was buying you
guys beers in the stadium, like so Reese, like that
does stink that he's not here anymore.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
But you're right, Harper has made you forget about him
like that.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Yeah, Well, it's more when it comes to Reese. I
think it's more about locker room atmosphere. Ye, he's kind
of having a typical Reeese Hoskins season where he's hitting
in that two thirty range. He's still going to give
you the the twenty some home runs fair. Now, when
you look at it, you would beg for one of
our outfielders to have those numbers. So maybe we are
missing them at the plate. But it's you know, beggars
(30:07):
can't be choosers. I'm glad that Bryce is hitting up
first base. Brandon marsh is starting to hit the ball
up better. He was slumping for a while. Cassianos, no
comment is that.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Your biggest is that your biggest fear in the playoffs
is the outfield offense.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
No, my biggest, I can tell you my biggest fear
in the playoffs is what happens. What happened a couple
of times this season and ultimately happened in the last
two postseasons, where when this team's hitting the ball well,
they're unbeatable. Kyle Schwerber leading off. When he's hot, he's
the best player in baseball. But when they're not hitting
the ball, one through nine goes silent to the point
(30:46):
where they're struggling to get across one or two runs
a game. You saw that in the Houston Series, in
the World Series. You saw it last year against the Diamondbacks.
When this team goes cold, they are cold. You don't
you don't have any any player in that lineup that's
kind of knock them out of it. Where you're paying
your lineup to where if Harper has a bad game,
(31:08):
this guy picks him up. If Casianos has an over
twenty seven drought, Schwerver's hot. When this team goes cold,
one through nine goes silent, and that ultimately has killed
them last two seasons in the playoffs because the third
pitching has not has not killed them.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
I wouldn say not even one through nine, one through five,
one through six. Yeah, those guys, you know what I mean,
those guys that you're paying to bring that production to
the lineup.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
When those guys go cold.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
And now you've got Rojas up there with nobody on
and one out and you're just like, we can't get
anything going. So that's what I'm afraid of, is that
top of the lineup going cold because we haven't seen
really the bottom be able to carry it for an
entire postseason series.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
And ultimately that one through five. I mean that just
takes all the weight off the bottom of the lineup
shoulders because you can't rely on them to begin with.
Maybe maybe one game here is the stock gets hot
for a game, gets a couple of hits, but yeah,
when that one through five goes cold for an entire series,
it's game over.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah, so eighteen games left? How many games does it
take for the Phillies to wrap this thing up? They're
up eight games right now.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Well, the two big series this weekend between the Dodgers
and the Diamondbacks. Yeah, so a lot of riding on
what happens in those series. But I would say within
the next ten games, twelve games. I think that's a
realistic depending on how these other series go.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Twelve games, I would say, all right, Yeah, I'm sitting
around the ten to twelve range. I mean, the Mets
are not going to sweep.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Yeah, this is the first game of seven with the
Mets and Phillies. Man, it's gonna be on primetime next week.
It's on primetime this week. It's about to happen right
behind us, which is exciting.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Yeah, it's unreal, unreal. Citizens Bank Ballpark.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I want to thank our sponsors one more time, Iconic Candy,
Cruise an app k r u z N for this
amazing Trey Turner signed Jersey see yeah are you you see?
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Oh? Did I say ka? You were thinking? You were thinking?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
I had to look around and clear rum k l
Why are they so?
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Way, way to mess it up. I hope I haven't
mess it up on my other one because yeah, all right,
thanks I.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Needed that support. Speaking of support, do you guys think
I will be hairless? Uh? Completely next week?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
I just think for society'd be better for Luke to
shave that mustang. I agree, for society, I don't want
to look at it. It makes him look a lot
older than the kid is too. Yeah, like, I don't,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I think I think I'd be doing him a favor.
If the Mets take two out of three.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Yeah, I don't. I don't want to see you without
a beard. It's I'm so I'm stuck between a rock
and a hard place right now. I want the Phillage
to win. But if you know, the Mets win this,
I will. If they don't win, you're gonna get some
new nicknames. We're gonna get some new nicknames. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
The scariest thing in my life is a lot of
people when boss Baby came out, Uh, they were comparing
me to boss Baby.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
I can see that.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
So I'm scared of that. I'll wear a suit and die.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Also, like, obviously I have to be on video and
we have to have meetings and stuff like that. So
I will turn the camera off and let everybody know
that iHeartRadio is audio first.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
So that's that's exactly what I'll do.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
But the cool part is I think it won't maybe
give me like eight ten days, I'll be back.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
How about you when you shave.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
I haven't shaved in a long time, but it's an
optical illusion. I want to keep it nice and long.
It makes your face look longer. Just when it shaved,
I got a circle face and it just looks grill.
The good news is there are some of these guys.
Bye Jesse, thank you, Thank you all five Stacy, thank you, Stace,
Thank you Stace. Yeah, so predictions for tonight home run predictions,
(34:42):
and then we'll get out of here and we'll go
watch this game. Anybody's gonna go yard. I think Nola
gives up one to two home runs. I think the
Phillies wins seven to five. Okay, yeah, Nola usually does.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Everybody's back today, Yes, Warber's back, We're Mulet's back. I'm
gonna say I think Nola has a better outing than that.
He usually doesn't have an implosion and an implusion for him,
you know, was what happened against the Marlins. I don't
think he has that twice. I think he doesn't cruise,
but I see him going about six innings, maybe three earned.
(35:17):
I'll put the Phillies at five to three. Ya.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
The best thing about this ballpark are the home runs. Yeah,
and the Mets tend to hit better here. And I'm
gonna take you back to twenty fifteen. Daniel Murphy found
his swing in this ballpark. Yeah, you know, David Wright
came back at that time.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Too, Chicago.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Yeah, dude, it was just like these are ballparks that
you look forward to. You put him on the calendar
when you're on in a slump. This Fenway, Chicago like it. Definitely,
you know that Bronx dump places like that, you could
definitely come out of a slump. So the Mets aren't
in a slump right now, obviously, But I could definitely
see Lindor let's go who's.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Gonna win tonight? All right? That's right, that's energy, guys.
And you don't get that everywhere. That's red energy. Yeah,
red energy. You don't get it down in Chicago for
the White Sox. Oh, it'd be for the Cubs. And
it's very different. The culture is very different. Also, anytime
there's a lefty going against the Phillies, I like to
(36:18):
look at the Cassie. Can I ask you a question
since you'res Chicago native? Yes? Is that real pizza?
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Man? Do you really think pizza down here, especially in
New York and then Chicago, that deep dish stuff.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
You think that's that's where you messed up. Deep dish
is not Chicago style pizza.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Real Chicago style pizza is tavern style, thin, almost like
a cracker, like.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
A bar pol That is real Chicago.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
This is more of a uh, what do you It's
like a lasagna, right, it's a piece of It's a
touristy thing. You come and everyone's like, oh, the deep dish.
You can have that like once a month. It sits
in your stomach. It's a lot of cheap, But that's
not real Chicago pizza. That's a very misconception from it.
It's like if people were come here and they're like,
I'm gonna go to Gino's or pads for and you're like, Nah,
that's really the tourist.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
You guys do real spots.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
That's the equivalent of kind of what I put it to,
like a nice Irish pub McDonald's. Wow, that's that's where
I go. Yeah, listen, man, this has been fun. I
see some met fans, I see some Philly fans. What's
up everybody?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Uh that you guys must have some rough conversations in
that household. God bless you.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Uh. You guys have seen something together.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Let's see him on the forty seventh. Not just kidding.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
I don't wish that on anybody, but listen, this is

good man. Congrats on your twins, Pete.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Oh, thank you twins. Yeah. I have three children now
under the age of two years old, so I'm exhausted.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Life is good. Life is good.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
What was your initial reaction when you learned you were
gonna have twins?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It's it's not appropriate for on air. Okay, it doesn't
run in the family though, right it does.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
My mother's a twin. Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. It's
just very hard.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Right now skips a year, so like curses you, but
it won't curse your kids.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It's kind of weird. Yeah, well, look, man, Mets Phillies.
Who would have thought we'd have meaningful baseball in September?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Not you guys, No, you guys, we pretty much know
it from day one. That was that was that was brutal.
I mean, honestly, honestly the best policy. It really is.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Best team in baseball since the All Star Break, the
New York Mets. I like to point that fact out.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, you know, the.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Biggest vibe since the All Star Break, the New York Mets.
Whether you want to talk miss oh my God, shout
outs to j mac custom.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I brought my son with me.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Boys.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, you're I heard you're afraid to bring it in though,
I'm going to bring it in. Got that thing on you,
I got that thing on me.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Where's that sign? Where is it?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I didn't want to. I didn't want to steal his thunder.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
H He's doing some amazing stuff, uh for the next
seven games, and like, honestly, I didn't want to steal
his thunder, so I didn't want to put it on
the broadcast.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I won't bring it in with me. I posted it.
It is in the car, but.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So hopefully none of you Philly fans see it and
I'm break into my car and take it.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
What do you think about all like the gimmicky stuff
that that the Mets do, because some of it, I mean,
as if you were a fan of the Mets, something's
got to be kind of like fun to rally around,
right as outsiders.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I think it's like loser stuff. Yeah, but like what
the fans do, like the tradition.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
To the songs they came up, Oh my god, they
do grims, they do these little rallies.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Dohnny Diesel Yeah, to get around.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Is the guy with the silk coast jacked?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
He was like Petelnzo the guy with the silk he had,
uhh yeah the guy.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Okay, yeah, patch patch Man Phil. There you go.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, you guys got a bunch of mask on us. Yeah,
we got the pin Man, Patchman Phil. You know, wet
the cowbell Man. Yeah, we're a gimmicky thing, a four
dark night, Like, everything's like cool, do you get We
get one ace and we're thinking we're going to the
World Series.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It's awesome. But I will also point out that the
Mets have just the same amount of World Series as
the Phills, you know. So yeah, I remember ours though,
I mean ours are the most memorable. The Miracle Mets.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Nineteen sixty nine, we landed on the moon and the
Mets won the World Series. Grank you for that one.
I was I was somewhere. I was here, I was
probably here. I believe in reincarnation slash. Okay, just so
you know, so I was here nineteen eighty six. My
first memory New York Mets winning the World Series. Thank you,
Bill Buckner.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Rip.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
But yeah, dude, everything we do is gimmicky. I'm not
gonna lie to you.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
But this one's working. This one's working for a change.
Only eighteen games left. We're in the postseason right now.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Yeah, I mean, this is gotta be the most exciting
you've been and all start in the beginning of season April,
you had no.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Oh, I was over. We had a dance crew. We
had a dance crew. That's all we had. We had
the Queen's Dance crew. That's the only thing we had
to rely on when the season started. Those first two
months horrifying. It was so hard to be a Met fan.
I thought your season was over when you had the
hook to a.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Girl on there. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
That that was a rough week. That was a rough week.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'm not gonna lie you know that that was a
missed up. Somebody from marketing or PR, a.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Little bump in the rope. And then you got back
on track. You said, I went in some games. I
know you're back in the playoff phrase.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
It's pretty exciting, man, it's pretty exciting. I did want
to share something about the Phillies. Philly Fanatic was rated
the best mascot ever, deservedly ever. And here's my argument
with you both. If the Mets gave missus Met the
helm and made her the go to mascot, she would take.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Over that there's a chance there she got some cake.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, we got all one, O, four or five here,
damn and Jess see, man, it's been so cool.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I was in London.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Jesse had Kyle on her show and they called me
from London Square.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I was hitting baseballs into the freaking city.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
It was nuts.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
It was yeah, probably a little dribbler down right.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah. I was gonna say hitting Yeah, baseballs into the
city is a wild common Yeah, Like it was great.
It was great. I call one hundred feet top.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Man, that's that's rough.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
But I like a post roll in in my sales
role that would be under promise over delivered.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So I promised you I would over deliver. I have
a lot of baseball friends.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
So yeah, so listen, dude, we were in London. We
had this conversation and we're like, hey, we got to
bring this back. And I saw Friday the thirteenth on
the calendar. At that time, I did not think the
Mets would be remotely where they were. You know, we
barely scraped by in London. We're lucky that the Phillies
did not sweep that series. And now we're sitting here
(05:56):
and you know, seven games out of first place, which
is on believable but in a wildcard spot and you
know it's it's just been fun.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
I mean you guys, like I said, you had no
intention to be in here, and this is exciting for
for everybody.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I think, right and meaningful baseball.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
I think that's all you can ask for a beautiful
September night and there's meaningful baseball.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah. Well, and also you know the Phillies when it
comes to the division, it's wrapped up, right, we can
we can all agree on that. No, dude, I would
say it's like a verbal agreement. Yeah, since I heard
a verbal agreements.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah, there's no signatures, yeah dude.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, the Mets have to have a shot to do
the funniest thing that they've ever done in their lives
and kind of right the wrong that happened in two
thousand and seven and nine, two thousand and eight, they.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Or they'll play the hits and do what they do
every year and yeah I play.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, bro, this has been weird, man, like they they
literally don't outside of a home run sign lindor just
being an endorsement for MVP.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That's who I got, Mark.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
I was talking about earlier guy taking advantage of of
a spot where he gets an opportunity like that talk
about Mark Viento's.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah in the back and forth with Pete Alonzo too,
like U, but yeah, Mark, Mark's been unreal like so,
like third base was the biggest question mark with the
Mets absolutely, Uh, you know, Brett Batty, he's doing his
thing in the minor leagues, but obviously, uh, you know,
Mark has made that his home and it's just been
absolutely insane. Uh to just watch the stats like it's
(07:29):
it's good because like ever ever since d Wright, like
we haven't had anybody in that corner that you could
really say wow, like, you know, except for Todd Fraser,
that was a great couple of years.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Sorry Todd Freudian slip up there, but.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, dude, yeah, I kind of messed up there. That's
my one guy.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
And I was like, we're but right was there technically
right when Todd was like, I feel like it would
know better than yeah, so right was just injured.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
So well, let me ask you something as as an
outsider of the New York Mets. If you guys make
the postseason, what do you think your biggest concern will be?
Is it just playing better? Teams. Do you have glaring
deficiencies that you have to that are gonna you know,
come to light come playoff season?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, I don't want that smack down the reality, right, Like,
so I don't want it to be like, oh, new season,
and we got to find ourselves again, because if we
start the postseason the way we started the regular season,
we're gonna be in.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
We're gonna be out quick.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
What I will say is like, we're also playing with
house money, how much fun?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Like now you're stressed about the Phillies, right.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
That's why I was gonna get to the twenty two Phillies.
This is right where they were, exactly right where the
Mets are, right. So also like I saw the.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
In twenty twenty two, I saw the path for the
Phillies and it was a way more enjoyable path than
the Mets even had, right and they won, Well, there
were one more games they should have had the easier path.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It wasn't you guys had what was the first tame?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
You played the Cardinals?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
The Cardinals and then you went to Braves and the
Braves are you know, stale?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
And now the Braves And we just talked about this
off the air, But Pete and I were talking about
it the Braves this spring training, was like, hey, maybe
we won't win the division because wild card is better
because you get the play more.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
And we're like, that's the dumbest thing you could ever do.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
You can never like And now like maybe if they
lost one or two games, they're they're they're wishing they
didn't do that.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Now.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
I was arguing with you about that earlier, saying that
the wildcard teams the number one teams if you look
at him historically over the last two seasons, Dodgers, Braves
two years ago, the Padres. You get that first round,
by you're sitting for five days. It's almost the same
as an All Star break. Then you come back and
everybody's cold. So I'm fine with wildcard. If I'm playing
my best ball in October, I'm playing every day. I
don't want to sit for five days. Okay, So for me,
(09:46):
I don't care, dude, if you're playing, I want to
play every day. We'll play every day if we're playing
good ball.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
The only thing that scares me, and we'll get the
slashest point in a second, is it's only three games, right,
anybody could win a series, right, so you know that
scares me.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Five games.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
You gotta really bring your a game to beat me
seven game series, got to bring your a game to
beat me three games. Anything could happen. You saw that
with the Padres and the Mets. We had the grom
we had Chureser, you know, and and house money. On
the third we were talking about, all right, we'll do
Max and if we win that first game, then we'll
you know, we'll go to our fourth or fifth starter, because.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Then they would line us up for the next series.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yeah, you know, Well, the thing that makes me confident
is the Phillies dealing with the injuries that they already
have and still overcoming those. So that's a big thing
in baseball, right. Oh, your your starter goes down, your
third basement goes down. You got these guys stepping up,
and Phillies are still overcoming those obstacles, continuing to win.
With guys sitting out, people are stepping up. Buddy Kennedy
is playing third base. Identity by such a bad playing.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Third base tonight.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
So you got these guys coming up, taking advantage of
their opportunities, and that's that gives you confidence as a fan.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
You're just like, dude, these are these are dudes that
are ready to play. So that makes me feel good.
I think that all gets thrown out in the watch.
They'll come playoff season. I mean it's good now, but
when it comes to the spotlight, you got to have
your best players healthy. Sure, you can't rely on these
Buddy Kennedy's right, but we're not losing games in the
division exactly exactly. But that that just plays right into
my point where I call me old fashion now, but
(11:15):
I rather have less games to get to the World Series.
So I do care if you have to play in
the wild card round, you know, being that we've been
in at the last two seasons. Yeah, you know, you
can see how these can go. Yeah, I mean the
Cardinals had that Game one wrapped up and then next
thing you know, you know, a flick of the wrist
and from Gene Sigora means and the whole series turns.
(11:39):
I mean, we're just lucky that it was in our
favorite at that point, and then you gain momentum off
of that. But a three game series is way too
short to determine who is the best team. We were,
you know, in the best situation of that heading in
especially in twenty two because we you know, we're playing
with house money. Now, we're in a situation where we've
been in first place most of the year. I don't
(12:00):
want to be caught in a situation where we would
be playing in a wild card, which you know, the
odds are completely against that right now. But it goes
to my point where, yeah, I want to play the
least amount of games, and I want to have the
easiest pant the World Series, no matter how hot or
how cold you are, and home field advantage.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, obviously, No, obviously, the expanded playoffs has changed everything,
even the trade deadline. Like it's crazy, right, the Mets
should have been sellers in the old structure. Now they're
you know, they weren't buyers, but they they made moves,
and I'm really proud of them, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I Galazia's like he's been insane, whether it be singing,
getting the team going. There was a yo, there was
an off day, right, So the Oh my God song
one of the hottest Latin songs right now, I would say,
right fair by us. Yeah, no major League Baseball player.
So listen the team's vibe in they're at like a
(12:56):
charity event. They start singing this song. Next thing, you know,
this sign is made by j Mac Customs, you know,
and they're off for the races.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
They had a live concert after the game with my man.
It's just been it's been absolutely insane and it's just
like like you said, we get into this every single year.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
This is the deepest that's ever gone because Donnie Diesel
was gone before August. You know, the Mets typically implode,
and it's it's the opposite. They they got off to
a rough start, they found themselves as a team. This
is stuff that that.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Movies are made of. And I know I'm getting ahead
of myself, but that's what Met fans do.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yeah, well, you gotta be excited to for your ownership
as a fan of a baseball team. When you have
an owner that is a baseball fan, an owner that's
trying to win games, that's an easy team to be
a fan of because they're gonna spend money, they're gonna
do make smart moves. They're not treating this like a
business and just trying to get as much overhead and
profit as possible.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
So with uh which is Steve Cohen, Yeah, he's uncle
Stevie dude, Like he's spending money, so you gotta be
excited for that for the next you know, however long
he owns a team, it's a good vibe.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
It's also Alex.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Cohen, She's like kind of created the culture, uh in
in the.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Fan base and also on the team, like it's a family.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
It's it's it's a whole different experience where the will
Ponds was kind of like, uh, you know, working for
Apple or.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Steve Jobs where they just thought they were above people.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah, charging you extra for chargers and headphones. You have
to throw them in the box right for real.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
So inflation man, yeah, and and look like so we're
very fortunate to have the Cohens.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
For sure.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
They're gonna build this area is amazing, Infinity live all
three stadiums here.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
When you go to Queens right now, there's a chop shop.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, you know if the opens there, Yeah, you get
to see some cool tennis.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
But outside of that, the World's Fair is gone and dead.
It is.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
It's so sad to go around there. And the Cohens
are gonna change that. Plans for you plans yeah, to
have the New York Team football club team there everything
a casino like obviously everything Philadelphia has.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Hopefully we'll be in.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Queen's Saint Louis has that Chicago has that they build
an experience around the stadium because then it becomes a
part of a uh tourist attraction. And as well, you're
bringing these people in coming to the game, so again
spending money getting people to uh.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
You guys, are you guys are moving that direction? Meanwhile
the Sixers are trying to move over across the river.
So not excited about that.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
It's crazy man, and and the Devil's ownership being the same,
like they already know how to navigate New York New
Jersey government.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Like you guys find losing Sixers.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
That's hilarious. I have mentally lost the Sixers, uh, you know,
three years ago. So I don't even want to get
started on that.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
So we got to bring in our star jam and Jesse. Jesse,
if you you're available for a few minutes, UH.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Might love to have you step away from your fans. First,
you got another mic and we got another headphone.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Come behind you guys. Yeah, they're just tagging the Philly
Captain and just.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Tag no biggie here we are. Yeah, that was a
great interview you had.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
It's such a Gilbert Goffrey like, you know, and I'm
gonna it is. Yeah, I'm gonna take so many shots
at him if we're gonna talk Philly captain, because he.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Took a few shots at me the last couple of days. Yeah,
I did that.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I did that thing for an appliance company that is
not sponsoring this, So shout outs to Gearharts. Actually you
need your appliances. Go to Gearharts dot com, family owned company.
They're pretty amazing. But I did something for another company.
And he loves to tell me that I'm not crazy, Eddie,
and I'm like, yeah, I'm not crazy, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I'm not in jail.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
It's like if Gilbert Goffrey were also not on drugs.
Oh dude, it's crazy.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
That's exactly what his voice sounds like.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
It should be like Philly Gotfrey or something that should
be his real name.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
All right, So do you guys think that well, I
guess they could handies out in the dugout. Do you
think that bubble jug should make like one with like
nicotine in it for the players?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yo?
Speaker 7 (16:52):
So good idea? Right.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I can't share this with you, but I kind of candy.
He's going to do some of my cara in the
in the in the situation in the gum in industry.
And let's say it's not nicotine, it would be something else,
kind of mellows you out. I've said too much.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
I've said too much. Water would be a good.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
No, water that's gonna have a flavor to it.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Well maybe not.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
I mean they could, they could cover up flavors my childhood.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
The one thing they do.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah, and it's kind of great because shout outs the
big League too, you know that's they've been on the show. Uh,
they're awesome people. But thank god all those horror pictures
when we were kids of like people chewing because I
never put nicotine in my mouth because I was afraid
a beautiful face would be Really you.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
Know who has a huge wad every time he goes
up to bat.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Sean Brace zo.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yo feels rare.
Speaker 7 (17:53):
Whatever I can on those is it like PC?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, I don't go on like Brace gives me like
the seven A m P S A moments. It's like
Lorraine has all the other stations and I'm on the
candler literally.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
But yeah, you could say it.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
You could say it.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
But also there's looks like.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
He's like head of the Philly and Nitros mafia. Like
every time I'm like, I know him.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, he's a lot of problems though I know him.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, your fellow dippers, Yo, remember when Philly had that
issue where everybody was giving those balloons outside?
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah, problem.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
But as a kid, like how many kids did you hear.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
The adults have one? Yeah it's not helium, but I'll
tell you that.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
That was out of pocket.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Man.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
We have grown and matured as Philadelphians.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
We have we just can't have dollar dog. No, apparently not.
So we've grown in some places, but have regressed another.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Speaking of Philly, Captain, we found out yesterday that Kyle
Swarber does, in fact put ketchup on his hot talk.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
What are your feelings on that? The first twenty five
years a mile ketchup on hot dog. I have grown
into a man and have accepted the fact that you
need to have ketchup and mustard on a hot dog. Yes,
the mixture is just unbelievable, just like you do. But
you do both with a burger, correct, Yeah, go hand
in hands.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
You should not be so worried about what other man
is putting on their meat, their meat.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Missile, right, put whatever you want on it? Talking about barbecue, right, yeah, okay,
all right.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Uh, I'm from Brooklyn. Nathan's it's mustard or bust so.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Great. I like everything running through the garden. I run
it through. I'll rock all the other toppings. I just
won't put ketchup on it, but I will share.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
When you put a little ketchup on bread, it actually
tastes amazing, like like a Hamburger bontos. Like ketchup on
bread is pretty good.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
I'll eat it. I'm from Brooklyn. I'll eat a ketchup sandwich.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Times are tough sometimes.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
All right, Potato rolls with potato chips smashed into the
role in mayonnaise like a ship sandwich.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
Yep, what is I love fat stuff?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I make sometimes I make like a poor man's pizza,
so like cheddar cheese and like maybe a slami or
pepperoni like lefto.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, like on a slice of white bread or potato bread.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
That's so much.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
To do that poor man's pizza.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I'm not going to do that. I'd rather spend the
six dollars on like the pre made pizza. Yeah, you
could do that your top dog now and or no
our job. I'm not you are I'm not. I. I
can put out the six dollars, though I hate the brag.
I can't put up the six dollars for a for
a full pizzas a family of four.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
As I'm on here, my daughter asked if she could
purchase something on an app, So I like dollars elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I'm gonna eat pepperoni bread for a week if you purchase.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
But what's the weirdest thing you've ever like? Concock?
Speaker 6 (20:57):
I mean, the Mayo sandwiches were a thing when I
was younger, and then the potatato and.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Mao, did you ever do that?
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Yeah, it's just really good.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Peanut butter and bread and chili. I did that in
college a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Really it sounds weird, but you take a piece of bread,
put peanut butter around it, and you put it in
your chili. This sounds weird, but it was a college thing.
I don't know, I haven't done it since, but it.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Was just like, hey, this tastes good.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
It's just sweet.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
If you're walking by and you're not going to come
into exfinity, we have every reason you should thank you
to the Cruise and App. We're giving away a signed
Trey Turner Jersey. Shout out to the one oh four
or five for promoting it all week, Jam and Jesse,
Stacey's here, Ties here, everybody's here just promoting this stuff.
We're giving out Weezer tickets every thirty minutes on the
(21:44):
air right now, courtesy of Iconic Candy, Clear Rum and
the Cruising App. And if you don't know what the
Cruise and app is, it's c r u Z e
N And it's a peer to peer service. So if
you have a flat tire, you have dead battery, you're
on the road, and it's everybody it's been there. When
(22:04):
you're on the side of the road, the first thing
you want to do is get off the side of
the road.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
It's scary, especially in Philadelphia as a whole. Right now, Yeah,
so uh, this.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Matches you peer to peer almost like an uber. With
the mechanic, they have over eighty certified mechanics in Philadelphia
that will come and service you, so you'll know exactly
when they leave.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
The shop where they are.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Just like your pizza or anything else you deliver via app,
you will know where your mechanic.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
Is say, Triple A way better, way better than Triple app.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
You can actually track them because you know they love
to tell you yeah, we'll be there in.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Forty minutes, but you're still on the se way to
two hours on the side of ninety exit, Like why
do I pay for the.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
And the crazy part is people are like, don't God
for Triple A, Like, you know, no, thank God for
the cruising app changing it. Pretty soon you'll be able
to use it to get details, uh other other card things.
Uh so inspections. They're they're really going to take this
to storm. We're lucky that it's a Philly owned company
and we get it first.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
That's so cool.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
But yeah, look for them nationally.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
So I might just hit a speed bump going fifty
just to try it today.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
I might. You'll be good.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So listen, Jesse, I did something and I'm embarrassed. I
know Philly Captain mentioned it to you. But Luke Arkaney
from Crossing broad uh from Fox Sports The Gambler, Yeah,
shout out to look. Yeah, Luke and I last night
were at Yards with Kyle Schwarber. I was feeling it.
Mets are doing well. He came up to me He's like, yo,
(23:34):
we got to put a wave drop this, and he's like,
what do you want? I was like, I was like money,
and he's like I was like, I don't really want
to take some body.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
He's a kid, right, I don't want to take some
kids freaking money.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
So yeah, Jansen goes yo hair hair on hair match
and I was like, but I'm bald, and he goes, no,
you're beard. So it's my beard versus Luke Arcaney's mustache
that makes him look like that country singer everybody likes.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Sorry they did.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Morgan Toby's dead.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I killed Wendy Williams today. I thought I forgot She's
just sick. I thought you passed well.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Kyle literally thought that Usher was dead.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
He he went, you know, the the late great Usher.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I was dead his career almost that night, inside joke.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
He had to be there.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
He brought it back during died yeh. It was bad.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
It was bad.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
See I didn't think it was.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I packed up two studios filled of stuff. Why he
performed and I felt more satisfied than every single person
that walked out of that performance.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
It was a show. Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
He tried to do like an unplugged but really like
he made us sing like it.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
Was really did he make Did he make love in
the club in front of you?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
He did? He did, he did.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
But he wasn't dancing either, And I feel like that's
part of it, that that is his name.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I mean, that's I mean I I always thought I
wasn't good looking enough, because this dude could do it
all right. He's dancing in the rings power has it
bad and like all the so you could dance and
he does like these things.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
And that song was about he used to date Chili
from she was and he broke her heart.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
He cheated on her chili. Chili usually don't.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
He's not peanut butter delicious.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
We can do an r I P.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Left Eye did pass left I was the best.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
A lot of r I PSY She was the best.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Uh Aliyah to aliaht who.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
Was my first CD.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Let's talk about basic, right you guys, love you guys,
love you love you.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Bye.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah, So, as dude, the stadium is starting to pack up,
but this is going to be a crazy weekend. You know,
It's still meaningful baseball for the Phillies, more so for
the Mets. Nola's on the mound.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I want to talk about about a guy that I
care about. Honestly, there's a guy. Uh that's mister Walker.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
He's getting a lot of bad publicity, mostly on your socials,
Philadelphia socials. They've actually taken his jersey, like when he
got signed and they put the jersey on him, they
put it in reverse, so it looks like they're taking
it off of them and hanging it back up. It's
pretty messed up. But Taiwan Walker is struggling, obviously likely
(26:29):
never going to pitch the rest of the year unless
it's garbage time, right.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yeah. So, but my man has a heart of gold.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
He would literally die to play hard baseball.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
And I know that from when he was with the
Mets and I've seen him with you guys.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Yeah, and you see he's willing to die on the mound.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
I mean he's getting rocked yep, any after any and
he's saying, I'm still willing to go out I'll still
go out back for Nolan.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
I know it's not what it should be, but he's
still he's willing to.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Die on the mount. You got to give it to him.
Can't have it, can't have it. But yeah, you respect
him as a man, as a person as a ballplayer.
It's just not up to caliber of what needs to
be played right now.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yeah, And I mean, is this the last we're gonna
see if Taiwan because they don't have a viable backup
to him. They threw out that starter in a conceding
game against Miami. You got lit up. Tyler Phillips has
self imploded since his first outing. I don't think they
have anybody right now that's better than Taiwan Walker. Yeah,
I can fill that fifth spot.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
It's eighteen games. He's not gonna be playing if, like,
if the Mets somehow swept this series.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Well, the Philly's better win tonight because I think tomorrow
might be an automatic loss considering you're you look at
the website right now, it's TVD. They're trying to figure
out where in that carousel of starting pitching in that
number five spot, who's going to be out there in
the first inning throwing the first pitching.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Well, because also you got to start timing for the
playoffs too.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Yeah, yeah, although they likely will have a nice five
day break at the minimum.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Yeah, man, So look like how I want to mention
this dude, brings Harper is not the healthiest right now.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
You know where if you heard them, and that's what
I had a problem with this earlier when they were
talking about not running out balls. He should have been
on second blah blah blah, everybody, he's got to running out.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
It's been a kind of a thing. Yeah, the guy
is elbow injury. He's too usual.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
You want him sliding into second base. I don't need that, dude.
I need you to perform in October. So let's be
smart about this kind of stuff. So when people are
getting down on each round and I don't care. I
don't care about that. He said it was a single,
he came around and scored. They won the game anyway. Whatever,
Be smart, be safe. You see, I think got Schwarber
when he was coming back from from an injury. He
legged out a double and everyone's like, whoa, what are
(28:39):
you doing?
Speaker 3 (28:39):
He got talked out. It's like they're like, slow down,
pump the brakes, and.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
You should treat your all stars that you're paying their
three hundred million dollars for the same way.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Well, wasn't it just a week earlier when you know
Harper was already hurt then he got hit by that pitch.
It kind of emphasized his injuries a little bit more.
They were talking about putting put him on the ten day.
I l yeah, and then a week later, now he's
not leaking out doubles. Yeah, but which is it?
Speaker 5 (29:01):
And they don't mention this is the same guy who
tour his hamstring trying to run out infield a single,
busting his butt. So don't tell me that Bryce Harper
isn't trying to do everything in his power to bring
a trophy to this city.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Do not tell me that.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
But he learned first base quickest person to ever come
back from Tommy Dons.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Yeah, and I hate it. I love Reese Hoskins what
he did for the city. Bryce Harper is a way
better defensive first base than the Ree Hoskins and he's
in his first seasons starting.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Dude, But talking about those things that you can't the
Hoskins family was so cool, man. She was buying you
guys beers in the stadium, like so Reese, like that
does stink that he's not here anymore.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
But you're right, Harper has made you forget about him
like that.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Yeah, Well, it's more when it comes to Reese. I
think it's more about locker room atmosphere. Ye, he's kind
of having a typical Reeese Hoskins season where he's hitting
in that two thirty range. He's still going to give
you the the twenty some home runs fair. Now, when
you look at it, you would beg for one of
our outfielders to have those numbers. So maybe we are
missing them at the plate. But it's you know, beggars
(30:07):
can't be choosers. I'm glad that Bryce is hitting up
first base. Brandon marsh is starting to hit the ball
up better. He was slumping for a while. Cassianos, no
comment is that.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Your biggest is that your biggest fear in the playoffs
is the outfield offense.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
No, my biggest, I can tell you my biggest fear
in the playoffs is what happens. What happened a couple
of times this season and ultimately happened in the last
two postseasons, where when this team's hitting the ball well,
they're unbeatable. Kyle Schwerber leading off. When he's hot, he's
the best player in baseball. But when they're not hitting
the ball, one through nine goes silent to the point
(30:46):
where they're struggling to get across one or two runs
a game. You saw that in the Houston Series, in
the World Series. You saw it last year against the Diamondbacks.
When this team goes cold, they are cold. You don't
you don't have any any player in that lineup that's
kind of knock them out of it. Where you're paying
your lineup to where if Harper has a bad game,
(31:08):
this guy picks him up. If Casianos has an over
twenty seven drought, Schwerver's hot. When this team goes cold,
one through nine goes silent, and that ultimately has killed
them last two seasons in the playoffs because the third
pitching has not has not killed them.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
I wouldn say not even one through nine, one through five,
one through six. Yeah, those guys, you know what I mean,
those guys that you're paying to bring that production to
the lineup.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
When those guys go cold.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
And now you've got Rojas up there with nobody on
and one out and you're just like, we can't get
anything going. So that's what I'm afraid of, is that
top of the lineup going cold because we haven't seen
really the bottom be able to carry it for an
entire postseason series.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
And ultimately that one through five. I mean that just
takes all the weight off the bottom of the lineup
shoulders because you can't rely on them to begin with.
Maybe maybe one game here is the stock gets hot
for a game, gets a couple of hits, but yeah,
when that one through five goes cold for an entire series,
it's game over.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah, so eighteen games left? How many games does it
take for the Phillies to wrap this thing up? They're
up eight games right now.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Well, the two big series this weekend between the Dodgers
and the Diamondbacks. Yeah, so a lot of riding on
what happens in those series. But I would say within
the next ten games, twelve games. I think that's a
realistic depending on how these other series go.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Twelve games, I would say, all right, Yeah, I'm sitting
around the ten to twelve range. I mean, the Mets
are not going to sweep.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Yeah, this is the first game of seven with the
Mets and Phillies. Man, it's gonna be on primetime next week.
It's on primetime this week. It's about to happen right
behind us, which is exciting.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Yeah, it's unreal, unreal. Citizens Bank Ballpark.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I want to thank our sponsors one more time, Iconic Candy,
Cruise an app k r u z N for this
amazing Trey Turner signed Jersey see yeah are you you see?
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Oh? Did I say ka? You were thinking? You were thinking?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
I had to look around and clear rum k l
Why are they so?
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Way, way to mess it up. I hope I haven't
mess it up on my other one because yeah, all right,
thanks I.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Needed that support. Speaking of support, do you guys think
I will be hairless? Uh? Completely next week?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
I just think for society'd be better for Luke to
shave that mustang. I agree, for society, I don't want
to look at it. It makes him look a lot
older than the kid is too. Yeah, like, I don't,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I think I think I'd be doing him a favor.
If the Mets take two out of three.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Yeah, I don't. I don't want to see you without
a beard. It's I'm so I'm stuck between a rock
and a hard place right now. I want the Phillage
to win. But if you know, the Mets win this,
I will. If they don't win, you're gonna get some
new nicknames. We're gonna get some new nicknames. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
The scariest thing in my life is a lot of
people when boss Baby came out, Uh, they were comparing
me to boss Baby.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
I can see that.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
So I'm scared of that. I'll wear a suit and die.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Also, like, obviously I have to be on video and
we have to have meetings and stuff like that. So
I will turn the camera off and let everybody know
that iHeartRadio is audio first.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
So that's that's exactly what I'll do.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
But the cool part is I think it won't maybe
give me like eight ten days, I'll be back.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
How about you when you shave.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
I haven't shaved in a long time, but it's an
optical illusion. I want to keep it nice and long.
It makes your face look longer. Just when it shaved,
I got a circle face and it just looks grill.
The good news is there are some of these guys.
Bye Jesse, thank you, Thank you all five Stacy, thank you, Stace,
Thank you Stace. Yeah, so predictions for tonight home run predictions,
(34:42):
and then we'll get out of here and we'll go
watch this game. Anybody's gonna go yard. I think Nola
gives up one to two home runs. I think the
Phillies wins seven to five. Okay, yeah, Nola usually does.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Everybody's back today, Yes, Warber's back, We're Mulet's back. I'm
gonna say I think Nola has a better outing than that.
He usually doesn't have an implosion and an implusion for him,
you know, was what happened against the Marlins. I don't
think he has that twice. I think he doesn't cruise,
but I see him going about six innings, maybe three earned.
(35:17):
I'll put the Phillies at five to three. Ya.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
The best thing about this ballpark are the home runs. Yeah,
and the Mets tend to hit better here. And I'm
gonna take you back to twenty fifteen. Daniel Murphy found
his swing in this ballpark. Yeah, you know, David Wright
came back at that time.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Too, Chicago.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Yeah, dude, it was just like these are ballparks that
you look forward to. You put him on the calendar
when you're on in a slump. This Fenway, Chicago like it. Definitely,
you know that Bronx dump places like that, you could
definitely come out of a slump. So the Mets aren't
in a slump right now, obviously, But I could definitely
see Lindor let's go who's.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Gonna win tonight? All right? That's right, that's energy, guys.
And you don't get that everywhere. That's red energy. Yeah,
red energy. You don't get it down in Chicago for
the White Sox. Oh, it'd be for the Cubs. And
it's very different. The culture is very different. Also, anytime
there's a lefty going against the Phillies, I like to
(36:18):
look at the Cassie. Can I ask you a question
since you'res Chicago native? Yes? Is that real pizza?
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Man? Do you really think pizza down here, especially in
New York and then Chicago, that deep dish stuff.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
You think that's that's where you messed up. Deep dish
is not Chicago style pizza.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Real Chicago style pizza is tavern style, thin, almost like
a cracker, like.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
A bar pol That is real Chicago.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
This is more of a uh, what do you It's
like a lasagna, right, it's a piece of It's a
touristy thing. You come and everyone's like, oh, the deep dish.
You can have that like once a month. It sits
in your stomach. It's a lot of cheap, But that's
not real Chicago pizza. That's a very misconception from it.
It's like if people were come here and they're like,
I'm gonna go to Gino's or pads for and you're like, Nah,
that's really the tourist.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
You guys do real spots.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
That's the equivalent of kind of what I put it to,
like a nice Irish pub McDonald's. Wow, that's that's where
I go. Yeah, listen, man, this has been fun. I
see some met fans, I see some Philly fans. What's
up everybody?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Uh that you guys must have some rough conversations in
that household. God bless you.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Uh. You guys have seen something together.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Let's see him on the forty seventh. Not just kidding.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
I don't wish that on anybody, but listen, this is
The Divide Live. I'm here with Kyle Nutta, the Sheffield Shuffler,
crossing broad everything. This is Fox Sports, the Gambler. Thank
you for tuning in. Let's go Mets, Let's go Phil,
Go Phil. This is the Divide, hence the name. Thank

(37:50):
this all together, thank you for everybody. I'm stuck together
at one O four five, you know, the entire Iheartcraft Cast,
and of course our sponsors have a great night seer.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Oh yeah, all right,
