all right, who just killed iton the Home Run Derby. How'd you
strike up that relationship with the greatTodd Fraser? Dude? Honestly, like
you know, obviously, everybody fromNew Jersey always wants to be like,
oh I beat him in Little Leagueand all this other stuff. I didn't
go that route. Uh. Youknow, he was towards the twilight of

(04:25):
his career. He was at theOlympics. It was during COVID they brought
he brought back a silver medal.We started right before he's coaching or playing.
He got da fade. So hecoached for the he played for the
Olympics. Okay, so it's prettyawesome. Todd Fraser shooting up played.
Yeah, wow, I didn't remembersome nuts man. So you saw like

(04:46):
old and new coming together. Soa lot of the rookies that are now
hitting, Todd has a relationship withthem, and like they talk about,
Hey, the first I learned winningfrom the veterans on that team. And
it was him and a few others. But so I said, yo,
when you bring home that metal,will have you on the pod and he's
like, okay, on die.Yeah. So we had him on the
divide. Uh. And then youknow he was like, hey, I

(05:08):
want to do this pong tournament.Do you think you could broadcast that.
I was like, I could domore than that. So we and you
did. Yeah we did. Andtell you a little bit. You raise
money for the Uh. So firstone was the field. The Little Field
of Dreams and then the second onewas for the Children's Specialized Hospital. Both
worthy causes, both amazing bottom line, they help kids that need help and

(05:30):
they're sick. Yeah, you know, so it was awesome. You were
there, It was It was agreat production. You know, we're we're
bringing it back in January. Wejust talked on the phone yesterday. He's
got to get through the Little LeagueWorld Series, so he'll be broadcasting for
that. He just did the HomeRun Derby. He does the series with
Yes, with Michael K incredibly,which is a dream come true too.
He's like, yo, I thoughtbeing a Yankee and being a baseball player

(05:53):
was one thing. He's like,but now announcing with Michael K is pretty
sick. So yeah, that relationshipis strong men, and I'm just here
to help. So sorry, thisis the song of the summer. Yeah,
it really is. J Nugget.But let's go the one thing.
Yeah, the one thing I wasn'thappy about. So you had Fraser in

(06:15):
Texas, Home Run Derby, youhad Pete there, you have Max de
Graham. I feel like there itwas an open house to see if he
wants to play in Texas. Youknow what, I mean, so if
he goes to Texas, he's anYeah, he's done. I think you
guys could have Mike Power is aMets fan. That's okay. I think
if he was meant to be aMet, it would have already happened.
Yeah, you know, regardless ofwhat the price tag is, you know,

(06:39):
the money is there. Look atNugget. Nugget is actually a DJ,
which is crazy because I didn't thinkNugget was a DJ. But he
is very smooth, very smooth.I think nico OsO taught him a lot,
just like this bird Gang smooth.All right, so nice one,
Right, I did it. Idid it. So here's the deal.

(07:00):
The Mets actually turned it on alittle bit at the end of the first
half. Are they Are they gonnamake life difficult for the Atlanta Braids?
No, I don't know, man, Like I'm still reverse drenthxing this team.
Like, you know, there's there'sso many God, so shout out
to j macostom, Right, Jael, that's so cool. That's so cool,

(07:23):
it really is. Hang on,continue with the match, we'll get
into jail. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's so Look, it's a vibe
right now. It's got to keepup. I mean, you learn from
the Phillies in twenty twenty two youcould sneak in and go all the way
to a World Series. So I'mbeing optimistic, but I'm being a realist
too. I don't want to seethem spend and give away the farm that
they just built for a run thatthat false flat. What it's one sixty

(07:48):
two. Anything can happen. AndI love everybody that says like, oh
no, this team doesn't have it, or this team does like you brought
up two years ago, the Philliesfired j already and they returned like form,
and next thing you know, theywere exceeding expectations and they made a
World Series. Yeah, nobody hadthat, right, not even that most
diehard Philly fan that had not.All I know is, like I said,

(08:13):
one sixty two, the craziest thingscan happen, and right here,
right now, look, I putthe bulls eye squarely on the Phillies back
right now with the two weeks stretch. I've been talking about this for about
a month. They have a twoweek stretch where they're going to because Yankees,
Dodgers on the road, the Diamondbackson the road, Seattle Mariners and
the Guardians. Four out of thosefive are first place if I'm not mistaking.

(08:33):
Still, the Mets have the thirdeasiest schedule going through. Anything happen,
Anything can happen, So we'll seehow it shakes out in the second
half. Of course, who didthe Mets start with? After in the
first half, who did you got? Well? So we we just lost
to the Marlins, so yeah,yeah, you gotta win those. So
it's kind of hard, like you'relike, how you feeling? Not very

(08:56):
good? But it's not very good. Sevarino on the minus one six for
the New York Metropolitans. All right, one more thought on the Mets.
Let's talk about Jay Okay, becausethis dude deserves a lot of love.
He's getting a ton of love fromNew York folks. But so he does
custom signs and like it's not yournormal like like normal signs, right,

(09:20):
this is like really thoughtful and artisticand just well done across the board.
And I met him through the ToddFraser Yeah, Ping Pong, the Beer
Punk tournament. Right, you hadhim, there was that a Todd Fraser.
Yeah, he's my guy. He'smy guy. So when we built
our stadium, our podcast he giftedme a Yankee emblem and a Met album

(09:41):
Wow Further Divide, And we surprisedCorey on like our third ever episode and
he was just shocked. So I'vebeen rolling with Jay Mac before anybody else
was. I love the guy.It's art, like you said, it's
it's not a sign, it's art. Uh. So he saw this oh
My God song by Jose Iglesias,who is a Latin singer that the Mets
just brought on and probably was theonly going to be here from a cup

(10:03):
of coffee. But his song songsparked like kind of like Philly Robb,
you know, like the same kindof vibe. So j Mac being the
artist he is, he got itin love with the oh my God sign.
He made it their home run signand it's remarkable. Now the minor
league teams Brooklyn has one. UhHe's sending up one to Bingingham right now.

(10:24):
Bingington and a few other of ourminor league affiliates will have it.
So he's just doing his thing.Man. You saw him in the All
Star Game. They had the signs, the dancers at it everywhere. Yeah,
Jay got a tattooed. Yeah.Yeah, he's a really good dude,
he was rocking a duck good inJersey and yeah, look another day,
another story. But I get downwith folks like that, man,

(10:45):
good people across the boards, andthat's all that matters. But yeah,
I'm so happy he's been rewarded andand for that side of things, like
I'm actually pulling for the Mets becauseof him. Yeah, I agree,
I a little bit you but becausethat's buddy. Because of him, I
think like they owe him a toime. Yo. He's had a one on

(11:05):
one with Steve Cohen. Yeah andthere, yeah, he's like, are
you ready for this? Like you'regonna get a lot of new business.
And the players are buying signs fromhim. You know, We've we've got
a sign on our way, uhto our studio, Oh my god.
