  Speaker 1: About the stage is yours because aj, you are the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Pope's favorite player, I think, and you certainly play on
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: or it did play on his favorite team. I just
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the only thing I got out of the experience in
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: terms of trying to get some access, was it sounded
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: like you were saying, hey, what's up? And he was like, oh,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I know who you are. I follow you, I follow
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the socks and give us the goods. How was it?
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: First of all, it was unbelievable to be able to
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: go do something like that. I was raised. I don't
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: know if people that know this. I was raised Catholic.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: My mom is still heavy heavy Catholic. So I did
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: all the things Confirmation, confession, communion, baptism, all that in
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the Catholic Church. So then to get an opportunity to
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: go meet somebody like the Pope, who is as high
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: as you can get in the Catholic Church, and not
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: only that, just in the world. To be given that
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: opportunity was something that I will always cherish and I
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: will never forget. And then to have my wife and
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: my daughter with me, and then another family friends of
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: ours with us was just truly incredible. I'm not going
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: to say how I got to do it because I
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: don't want the people who got it arranged to get
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: crushed with request to make this happen. I'll just say this,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: it was not an easy adventure to make come true.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: It took a lot of work. It took a lot
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of texts, it took a lot of phone calls, and
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of people behind the scenes. And
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: you know who you are that I want to say
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: thank you to. My family wants to say thank you
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: to for taking care of this and making it happen.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: And it was just one of those moments in your
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: life that you will never ever forget.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Is this the most starstruck you've been of meeting anybody?
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: As far as like most famous, because you have a
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: roll of dex of famous people that you've met and
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: talked to.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I would say, honestly, I listen, I played golf of presidents,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of most everybody in the sporting world.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I haven't met everybody, but I've met a lot of
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: sporting event people, met some celebrities, movie stars, stuff like that.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I will say this. My daughter told me this after
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: when when you meet the Pope, if you're Catholic, you're
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: supposed to kiss his ring and scause he has a
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: ring on his finger, and so when I went, I
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: kissed his ring and my daughter said, Dad, that's the
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: first time I've ever seen you kind of pause and
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: not knowing exactly what to do. So I would have
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to go with probably yes, because not only does this
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: happen with the pope, but it happens in front of people,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and a lot of people, so you're also kind of like,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: who's watching, who's paid attention? But he made it, He
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: made it seamless, and he made it friendly, which I
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: cannot thank him enough. Obulio, thank you so much.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: What else can you tell us, like what was it
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: like inside, what was security detail, what was he like?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And how much of a fan was he?
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: So?
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, so what So what happened is you go into
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Saint Peter's I think it's square, even though it's not
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: a square, it's like a big oval, and there's I
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: don't know how many thousands of seats set up there
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: on it when he does his Wednesday audience, So there
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: was tens of thousands of seats and they're all filled
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: with people. We have to get there at I think
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: we had to be there at six thirty am, and
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: he didn't come out till ten And you're in full regalia.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: You're as you can see right there, you're in full suit, tie,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the whole deal. Well, that day was like the hottest
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: day in the history of Rome. So I had to
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: sit there for three hours in a suit, after going
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: through multiple metal detectors, multiple security checks, and so I
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: didn't sit where the people sit. We were actually up
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: on the stage area where he gives his address, his audience,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and so his stage was here, and then we were
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: just off to the side and there's probably fifty to
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: one hundred people in this little area where we were sitting. Well,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: now you're just baking in the sun. So thank god
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I had an umbrella and then I had a little fan,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: because otherwise I might have died of heat exhausted heat
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: stroke sitting there in full suit and tie. My shirt
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: was completely soaked through my jacket. I kept my jacket
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: off until we got to go up to actually meet
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the Holy Father. But uh, it was it was a hot,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: hot day. And then your and then your family is
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: all dressed in long sleeved black shirts because you have
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: to cover your they have to cover their sleeves and
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: their shoulders and their knees and so once we so
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: he gives his whole audience, which tastes. First of all,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: he comes out in his potmobile. If you guys ever
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: seen thembile, If you guys know what the popmobile is.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: So he comes out in the Potmobile and he drives
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: all through the crowd. He's kissing like when they say
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: kissing babies. He's literally picking up babies and kissing him
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and blessing him and doing all that stuff. So he
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: drives around the whole crowd for about thirty minutes. Then
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: he comes up. He does his address. They do it
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: in like seven They think it was seven or eight
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: different languages. They have someone come up and kind of
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: say certain things and Chinese, English, Polish, Uh jeez, I'm
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: trying to think of all the languages, Spanish, Portuguese. There
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: was like seven. So you go through all this and
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: then after he's done, then you get your moment. Right,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: So he does, and then he goes and takes pictures
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: and then they start calling you up one by one
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: to go meet him. And that was when it was like, Okay,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: this is real.
• 5:11

• 6:11
  Speaker 3: So my question is all right, you gave you gave
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: the first out ball last game. I'm sorry, first game,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: last out ball. Do you have something more memorable from
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: the World Series that you were like, I should do that?
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Should I do this? Should I do that? Were you choosing?
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: How did you choose that item?
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Well? No, I mean other than if I gave him
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: like my cleats or my jerseys that I were but
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I'm like, he doesn't really care about that. Like I
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: gave him a jersey signed by me, and I'm sure
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: that probably just went into bargain bin, like to go
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: to the like the dollar stories, like I get a
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: million of these, right. I remember sitting there. It was
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: a guy with the Carolina Hurricanes jersey. Right, there's the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: jersey I gave him. And look, he was great, but
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he's like, eh, garbage, who cares for the ball?
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Though he genuinely with the ball, was enamored by the ball.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: And also so he when he hands the stuff there's
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: everyone gives him a president a gift. Well, people give
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: him stuff. He's just hand him to this guy, right,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: and he's like, yeah, he took the ball and he
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: told him this goes in different closet, right or different.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: You could see he told him not that he's like
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: not the not the normal, He's like, this is special.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: So at least that made me feel good that I
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: picked the right thing to give him. But there was
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: a guy in front of me with a Carolina Hurricanes jersey.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: He was from North Carolina, and he said he held
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: it up to the to the security guard he was
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: standing there, and the security guard goes, I don't think
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: he's going to care about that. He's a White Sox fan.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: He only cares about the White Sox. So that was
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: kind of funny. And then the guy looked at me
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and he's like, oh wow. But so I picked the
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: ball because if you remember when they showed uh, at
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the time he was Father Bob, but now he's the
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Pope in the in the stands. It was at the
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: end of game one, it was the ninth inning. It
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: was the last out of Adam Everett, who Bobby Jinks
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: struck out. So the ball that actually he struck out
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: was the ball that when they showed him was the
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: ball of the last howl when they showed the Pope
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: in the stands.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: So I it was just.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Sitting in my host sitting mind Scott's head for the
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: whole time. He probably even know it was there, just
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: sitting there, and I'm like thinking to myself, like what
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: can I give him that he will remember, especially from
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the White Sox, and then boom, he was at that game.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: It was that batter. This is the ball Bobby Jenks
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: has passed away.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Rip.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Bobby was one year on July fourth, So RIP to
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: him and he wanted double. He had kind of had
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: a little argument over who gets to keep the ball,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: and I was like, I'm keeping it because I caught it.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: And so I kept the ball and it was just
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: in my house sitting there. It's authenticated, it has the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: hologram on it, the whole deal. And I said, well,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: this is the game he was at. This is the
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: game that people know he was at. And so when
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I gave it to him, he laughed and he said, hey,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I was at Game two. Just nobody knew I was there.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: So I was like, oh, I don't have anything from
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Game two, so I can't help you with that one.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: But he thought it was awesome. He loved it. It
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: was the perfect thing to give him with his White
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Sox fandom, and then knowing that that was the game
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: that he was at.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, text Scottie Pott, see if he'll give the
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: home run ball back to I don't know if he
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: has it.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know that he has.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know where that ball is. I don't know
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: that he has that he does it. He said he does,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: and he's like, I don't care. I got my cleats,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: sees that I got my best.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Game three, I don't know what. So I was asked
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Game one I had, Game two was the home run ball.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know that ball might be in the Hall
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: of Fame. Game three, I don't even remember how it
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: ended because I got double switched out because people forget
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Houston was in the National League then, so there was
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: double switches. And then Game four was Konerko who gave
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: it to Jerry Ryan stur So, I don't I don't
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: know where That's the only ball that I actually knew
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: where it was, and I just happen to be in
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: possession of it, so it worked out perfectly.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: I can confirm it was smoking hot because my parents
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: were in the Vatican the day after you were there.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: No no correlation, and my neighbor was there two days
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: before you. There's no like, there's no possible way that
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: so many people that I knew were in the Vatican
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: the exact same time. But it happened.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you how hot it was. My shoes melted. No,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I had loafers on and they the bottoms melted and
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: they yep. Fortunately, fortunately it happened after we had our
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: audience with the Pope, So that was good. But the
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: souls of my chief, yeah.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Louis Maton's melt. I didn't know that their products sorry
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: product red bottoms.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Wait, we lost my many out there for sure, Yeah,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I don't And and and also listen, the coolest thing
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: was he was such a nice guy. I know, we
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: have to get to Bomb nine and Gil, but he
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: was such a genuinely nice person. And it's what you
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: would expect when you meet the Pope, right, But he
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: took time to meet my family, took time to meet
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: the people that we were with, and and genuinely interact
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: with him, not just oh hey hey, hey hey hey,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: like he genuinely interacted, had a conversation. They were from
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas. They gave him something from their church because
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: they were Catholic, so that their pre They told me,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: are going to go meet him, and so they he
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: gave him something. He was genuinely awesome about it. And
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: then you know, the funny story is, when I was
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: walking away, I said to him, Hey, you know the
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: White Sox in first place, and he said, I'm watching.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I'm paying attention, so White Sox fans, White Sox people
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: will know the Pope the highest, one of the highest
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: positions in the world is paying attention to what you're
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: doing every day.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got a little something extra on your side,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and it looks that way sometimes with the way the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: White Sox are playing lately. So that's a cool visit.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: And yeah, if anyone as questions, we'll post this in
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: some spots. Let us know in the comments and we
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: can try and ask aj later on this week too.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what he said.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: That's what he said.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: That's what he said.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: That's what he said. We didn't talk a ton about this.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: It was like kind of a footnote on one of
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: our shows when this Steve Cohen interview went out with
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: him and Joel Sherman and John Hayman, and he talked
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: about how things are getting better between so Lindor Sodo
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: dropped an all time quote this from our tweet on
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: ft Twitter. Discussing his relationship with Lindor, he said, the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: two are fine. He said, quote definitely, our relationship is
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: getting better because it takes time. When you meet a girl,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: you don't start kissing her right away. That one made
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: some headlines, but the real headliner here is Aja. We
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: had what a year of rumors with Lindor and Sodo
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: not being bff We spoke about this plenty of times
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: on our show, like they don't have to be best friends,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: they just can't hate each other. Kratz actually the other
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: day said that could cost you a game or two though,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: if the two superstars are butting heads. And then Steve
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Cohen did confirm on an interview a week ago that
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the two were not getting along well and that they're
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: in a better place this year. Your thoughts on all
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: of this are we still reading too much into this?
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: And also I mentioned Mike Puma, the writer who initially
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: put this out last year, who was getting roasted. He
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: was right. He put out a story that said those
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: two aren't BFFs and it's a thing, and he got
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: attacked for it, and he was right.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: There's crowds you ever played with anybody wore in BFFs with.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: This and Scott, you don't understand the dynamics of a
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: locker room because you only snuck in there when the
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: guys were coming out of the shower, so you didn't
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: really understand it how it work. But there's plenty of
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: fights in locker rooms, even on good teams. Even on
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: good team, Scott, there were guys that you just you
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: couldn't jive with. You Now you found common ground because
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: you were on the same team and you wanted to win.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: But there's plenty of guys you played with you were like,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: you know, what's funny is a lot of the guys honestly,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if krawdzikers. There were guys that
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I didn't get along with. I won't say I wouldn't
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: get along, but we didn't see eye to eye, and
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff. And then after you don't play
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: with them anymore and you see him down the road,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: you're actually better friends with them, and you get along
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: a little bit better because you're not in the locker
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: room with him every day. You don't have to see
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: him every day. You see him every once in a while,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: So there's plenty of guys all the time. And listen,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I thought once, so don't handled this pretty good? I
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: thought it was pretty funny. It was just it was
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: a smart little comebacky, a snappy little comeback he had
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: about the girl kissing the girl for the first time.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: So hey, they're working on him. Maybe they are getting better.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Who knows. But at the end of the day, it
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: ain't the fact that Sodo and Lindord don't get along
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: with the Mets scene winning. There's a lot of problems
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: on the team. I just saw him this weekend. I mean,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the center fielder dropped the fly ball. Their defense isn't
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: very good. A lot there's injuries. There's a lot of
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: problems with this Mets team.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: It ain't that we're not gonna get We've We've done
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: a lot of why the Mets aren't winning and why
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: they aren't. But aj, have you ever been on a
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: team where of the two best players haven't seen eye
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: to eye?
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Absolutely?
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: I have. Yes, That's what makes the team great. That's
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: what to me, that's what makes a team great. Go ahead.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: You said last week that it could have caused a
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: game or two to go a different way if there's
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: dissension in the clubhass last year.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: It can absolutely because teams are you know, guys are
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: maybe choosing sides. But if you're too, if your two
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: best players are just in lockstep, you know it's gonna happen.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Somebody else is running past you because you're you're missing
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: things like you need to keep each other accountable, and
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: you also need to make sure it's helping the team
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: get better. Ultimately, nobody's ever gonna say, well, the reason
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: that they missed the miss the playoffs was because of
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: the tiff that was going on between Lindor and Sodo. No,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: that's not what I'm saying. It's because they had no
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: starting pitching that went past the fifth inning playing and simple,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: that was it. But little things can cause you to
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: lose games. And ultimately they missed the playoffs by one
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: game last year. So yes, there are little things that
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: can cause you to lose games. But that's not why
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: the Mets weren't good. Yeah.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: True, Kenton and Kent are both in the Hall of well,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: they both should be in the Hall of Fame. One
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: of them's in the other one should be. They didn't
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: get along allegedly, but they won plenty of games and
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: they were giants. They didn't win the World Series, but
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: that was not because those two weren't good, because those
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: didn't get I mean I play. You have to understand
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: that on a team, there are I don't want to
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: say clicks, but there are groups of people that hang
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: out because they get along better with each other and
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: there are always constant sniping at each other. It's a clubhouse.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: It's what makes a clubhouse so fun to be in
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: because there's always a little bit of this, and there's
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: always and if you don't have that, then it's what
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Krat said, you're not holding each other accountable. If you
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: don't have somebody saying, well, you mess that up, or
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: you screwed this up, or you screwed that up. If
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: everyone's like, oh, way to go, komba ya, then you're
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: missing stuff. Like Krat said, that's the best point. You're
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: missing stuff if everyone's getting along because you're not holding
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: each other accountable. Because if you're not, if there's not
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: a little bit of YIPI back and forth between guys,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: they're not trying to help you. They're not trying to improve.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: How you're doing great, buddy, you're doing great. And it's
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: not like.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: That, Kip. I've been looking for the best deals for
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: the All Star Game tickets in Philly. Where are you
• 17:05

• 17:12
  Speaker 5: be catching the hometown guys hitting them. So I'm going
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: out to the Rife Field kind of where I think
• 17:16

• 17:17
  Speaker 5: those home.
• 17:18

• 18:00
  Speaker 3: I think you need a guy. And I'm not saying
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: it's me. I'm saying, like the role that I played was,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: I had no problem calling out when I'm on the Brewers,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Ryan Braun, Christian Yelich to Lorenzo Caine. When I'm on
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: the Yankees, I have no problem making fun of John
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Carlos Stanton, just like I'm gonna make fun of Greg Byrd,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: you know, just random players. You have to be able
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: to so that the team doesn't look at those guys
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: and go, oh, man, if Wan doesn't like Little Oh,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: if he doesn't like Francisco, what are we gonna do?
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: He plays short, he plays right field, what's gonna happen?
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: When is he not gonna run as hard? Is he
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: not gonna you know, run the bases when Wan gets
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: a base and no, like that's that's not what's gonna happen.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: But when you have those things that bring guys together,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: sometimes it takes opposites of tract.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Also, if they're getting long better this year, well I
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: want to go back to last year. Last year they
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: at least only missed the playoffs by game this year,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: they're probably gonna miss the playoffs by like ten games.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: This year's worse. I don't. I mean they're better friends
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: this year. That kind of sucks right now, they're they're terrible.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, like day ja, I don't think they're a
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: better friends.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're better friends. It seems like they're
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: more amicable.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: They both missed a bunch of time this year, so
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: they weren't together every day. Frank, By the way, can
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: I just can I say something? Did y'all watch the
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: game on Saturday that I had where Tyrone Taylor dropped
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: the fly ball?
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't think that that was yesterday right where he
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: went back and then the ball felt that was it?
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: When is pitching Eli White and by the way, it
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: was like who By the way, Eli White owns Sean Manyah.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: He hits a pop up behind second, but Lindor goes back,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: calls it does everything right, I got it. You know
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: you you're taught. You go until the outfitter calls you off.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: He he stops, Taylor calls him all. He dives out
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: of the way, trying to avoid a collision. Taylor comes
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: in and ball hits off the tivi of his glove.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: They rule it a double three RBIs three run score right,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: and then people are like, oh, Taylor or Lindor messed
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: that up. I'm like, Lindor did not mess that up
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: people on Twitter, because people on Twitter are funny, Oh,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: that's a Lindor's fault. No, it's not Lindors fall. He
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: did exactly what was supposed to do. It was actually
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Taylor's fault. He called him off and then missed the ball. Lindor,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: I got it, I got I got it, and then
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: he literally dove out of the way to try to
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: avoid a collision. It's amazing how people see different things
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: from different angles. But that just summed up the Mets
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: right there. I mean, they had a chance to get
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: out of that game, out of that inning and be closed.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Instead they give up a five spot.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well there's frustration.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So you know, Aja, I didn't know if you
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: guys talked about run prevention at all, because that's a
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: that's a key word, keyword.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: That's called it out prevention right there.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Their defense. By the way, I listen, Marcus Simeon was
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: playing through a hip tear I guess a tear in
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: his hit, which I give him credit for that. But
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: you know, Marcus Simeon Vientos at first isn't great. I
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: mean they have Beaty playing second now, isn't actually a
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: third baseman, you know, it's it's like, you know, and
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: actually Boga shift for as much crap as he got,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: he's doing all right at third base. His numbers aren't
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: bad at third base. He actually is decent at third base.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I know he would be better though at at second base.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: But yes, he's it's not bad at third base. I
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: think it's still has thrown him off a little bit.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: But I mean the point, I.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Mean, Soto and left isn't Soto and left is never
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: going to be a goal Glover. No, I mean we
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: all know that, right. I mean, Taylor's fine in center.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: You know Bene is actually be Bene I think is
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: actually better suited in center. Arguing Whoever, the game, I
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: did Sale pitch so they had to sit one on them.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: They set youing against Sale, which can't really blame him.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: I can't wait till next year when Betty plays a
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: sixth different position of his career like Brett Bendy. This
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: up and coming third base prospect Ronnie Mauricio. Now he's
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: gonna take. No, Viento's is gonna take. No, you're gonna
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: play for Nope, right left, third, third again, No second.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Now he's gonna catch next year.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Don't put that on that man. Don't put he looks athletic.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Don't let him do that.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: He's going to be an All star on the Tigers
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: in two years something like that.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you the third base.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: As a third base, he's got it. It's it's written.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: His script will end up somewhere else and he will
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: shine and Mets fans will lose their mind. No, this
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: this scam here playing to what AJ's point is. You
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: mentioned run prevention. You kind of hint that you're getting
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: rid of certain players and adding other players to cure
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: that run prevention. It never made sense. It got questioned,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: and it played out exactly the way that most people
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: thought it would. Right, You're like, why is that guy
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: playing there? That guy's playing there, that guy's playing there,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: And then you're like, oh wait, there is no why
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: it doesn't work. Period, That's what happened.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: It works. It works in the war algorithm. It works
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: if you add enough guys, who's projected war equals and
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: you saw it in the preseason projections. That's why, yes,
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: I hammered the under with the Mets wins for the year.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: I think they're projected to win like eighty nine games.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't think so. I just feel like
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: it's too much. But there was a lot of War
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: put together. So projections said good team. Reality is saying
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: not a good team.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: That's lazy. And it's funny because Aj, he's right. I
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: think the Mets were projected like second based on the
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: War on their roster, and the Brewers were very low
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: down the list, and you put the connection with the
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Brewers and the Mets, and you're like, wait, maybe the
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Brewers are not just looking at.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: That, or maybe War is in the end all being
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: all what people think it.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Is, or maybe projections you have five dollars in a projection.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: You have five dollars, that's all you have, and you
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: have nothing. Let's look at projections next year what guys
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: are supposed to do and see who cares.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: And the thing for me is, you know what you
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: bought in Monsto? Is he going to be the ride
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: or die leader of your team? No, is he going
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: to put up the same numbers basically every year? Yes,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: you're good, He's not the problem offensively. Is he going
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: to be a great defender? No? Is he going to
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: steal as much as he did last year without Aton Richardson? No,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: at first base. But besides that, the actual that walks
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: the pop the whole deal when he's on the field, like,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: it's so consistent. So, whether they love each other, hate
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: each other, believe in kissing girls on first dates or not,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor apparently do not need to
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: be best friends for the Mets to be good. They
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: just need a better roster. If you wanted more confirmation,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Jim Bowden asked John Mozzelak, who is running the Angels
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: front office right now, if he was going to trade
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Mike Trapp to the Phillies at the trade headline, and
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: he answered emphatically no. Ken Rosendaal also did a one
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: on one with mo a couple of weeks ago, and
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: if you read that article you can see that clearly
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: because he had breakfast or something with Artie Marino after
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: he got hired, and clearly they went over the big
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: time topics like hey, can I trade assets because you
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: hold on to them for too long? And he might
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: have said, hey, I'll let you do a little bit
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: of that. Let me know. I might change my mind
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: last minute, so you might do ninety hours of work
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: and then get a no for me, but I will
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: at least allow you to do that. Trout is a
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: no because that's why people still go to Angels camps
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: right now to see the legend.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: And I would agree with Already on that one. I
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: would say, don't trade them. I would not agree if
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: I'm a baseball fan, But I also would say everything
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: that Already's going to do ultimately, And that's why I'm
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: not buying the mosay Locks stuff until I actually see
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: it is going to be based on money. That's it.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be based on money. You want to make changes,
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: all right? Do it? Where are you going to find
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: the money? Because I just build a brand new weight
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: room in Scottsdale for the team, So there's eight million
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: dollars off of your list that you can use. So
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: you got to find a different way to find some money,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: is what Already's going to say.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Where was mo by the way?
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Nowhere? What do you mean, he was chilling.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: He was just sitting at home and they just called
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: him and said, you want to be interim GM. Correct, Wow,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: that's amazing. I talked about the end of last year.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: He's like, I'm looking for some time off.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: He did, he said, he said eight nine months was enough, and.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: I know what I mean.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: But so this was in the works. And obviously this
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: was in the works before they fired Peramin, because you
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: don't you don't just fire the gym and say, oh,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: by the way, we're gonna pull John. Normally you say
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: we fired the gym, we're taking the assistant gym and make
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: him the gym. They said, no, we're gonna So John
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Mosella has already Marno's ear a little bit somewhere.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Doesn't he have to signed until the already doesn't have
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: to pay him during the lockout? I kid you not.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: He's obsed paying people during the lockout. Correct, It's correct.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: He's obsessed with like saving something. He's like, but why.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Would you why would you do this right before probably
• 26:57
