It's the worldwide sports radio network.
0:05
The National League defeated the American League in this year's
0:08
All Star game seven to six in a first of its kind swing off
0:12
tiebreaker after the game was tied at the end of the ninth.
0:15
Kyle Schwarber was named MVP after hitting a home run and all
0:18
three of his swings in the swinging off, propelling the NL
0:21
to the West. The Jets made Sauce Gardner the
0:25
highest paid cornerback in football only days after
0:29
extending wide receiver Garrett Wilson on a large contract as
0:32
well. Is The Jets foundation now
0:34
locked in or are the two star players more fool's gold for the
0:38
all floundering franchise as they look to rally under new
0:42
coach Aaron Glenn? And before we whip around the
0:45
NFL, we will make a call to the pen and dive inside baseball on
0:49
another live, jam packed Wednesday night edition of Jabba
0:54
and the Math and. That's are going to give him a
0:56
significant They're going to have a ton of money to spend.
0:59
Why not put it in one of the top three offensive players in the
1:02
league? We're going to be looking at
1:11
Aaron Judge and saying that he can't win the big game, Michael
1:15
Jordan said. I played 82 games.
1:18
You don't see the fun doing that A.
1:20
Game where you got to go? Before I told you giant things,
1:24
Saquon Barkley, at this point, say
2:34

And ladies and gentlemen, I've been saying this over and over
3:34
and over again. I know we haven't had a lot of
3:36

3:39
lot of of time. But if you want to call the

3:54
But if you want to call Ghostbusters or anybody else,
3:57
stay away from that part of the house.
3:59
Anyways, it's been a crazy, warm, muggy, disgusting day here
4:05
in Long Island, New York. It was raining earlier this
4:08
morning. Now it's sunny.
4:10
It's it's, you know, what I hate about Long Island is the
4:13
weather. It, it, it just, it transitions
4:16
so fast. And it's not like I'm at the
4:17
beach. I'm not hanging out in the sand
4:20
or swimming with the sharks. What I'm dealing with is driving
4:23
on the road with these complete morons.
4:26
And what I'd have to deal with is if I don't have my air
4:29
conditioning on and I just roll down my windows, I got to deal
4:33
with something like if I was in a sauna or I was in a steam room
4:38
because it, it's just, it's horrible.
4:41
I, I, I hate living here. I will never move to Florida.
4:44
It has to be dry. If I move to a hot place,
4:47
Arizona would be my number one spot if it's hot, not Texas
4:51
either because it's too hot over there.
4:53
And I'll. Burn ours.
4:54
Ours is construction. Well, I I mean Nebraska.
4:58
Is awful. Oh, the construction over here
5:00
is horrible. I will say this about Long
5:03
Island. There are three roads you do not
5:06
want to be on when it comes to construction, and one of them is
5:09
this one right over here. And I and I, I'll say it more
5:14
than ever, everybody keeps talking about the L i.e. and how
5:17
bad the L i.e. is. The L i.e.
5:19
Is bad when you're going up, you know you're going from Montauk
5:22
or Riverhead to to the city. It is bad especially certain
5:26
times you don't want to go in rush hour.
5:28
Rush hour in New York starts really from 2:30 to 7:00.
5:34
So if you're planning to come out to Long Island from the city
5:37
from 2:30, good luck. You're not getting to your
5:40
you're not getting to your house until probably around 6630.
5:44
You would have to leave your job at 2:00 just to beat the rush
5:48
hour. Now, if you're going to the
5:49
city, good luck. It's even worse going from Long
5:53
Island to the city. I would say if you don't leave
5:56
by 1:30 to the city, you won't be in the city till about 6-7
6:01
o'clock. And that's being that's being
6:04
lucky if, if, if you have any luck whatsoever.
6:07
But nevertheless, I hate Long Island because not the food's
6:11
great here. The people are interesting.
6:13
As a matter of fact, the people are asses.
6:15
I'm going to be honest with you, people here are complete morons.
6:20
They don't know how to speak to you.
6:21
You can go to a food market. You could be waiting online.
6:24
I thought I was doing today, I was getting my tuna fish.
6:26
I was getting my bagel chips because I kind of stay away from
6:29
the and, and, and I was also getting my watermelon.
6:34
I got to get this bowl that I just eat by myself and I have to
6:37
have my sugar. And I'm sitting, I'm standing on
6:41
line. I'm waiting for this whole day.
6:42
This lady took about 10 minutes to pull out her wallet and pay
6:48
for her $10 meal. OK, it was which chicken she was
6:52
getting her what, what I don't know what rotisserie chicken
6:57
and, and something else she was getting with it.
6:59
And I think she was like buying blue cheese.
7:01
She told she was telling a lady out that she dips her chicken in
7:04
blue cheese. I, I mean, I, I mean, I know
7:08
that's what wings are and that's what people do, not rotisserie
7:10
chicken, but that does, that doesn't make any sense.
7:14
It was very disgusting, but I it took her 10 and it's just to
7:17
pull out her wallet and by the time I got out of the food
7:20
market, it took me about 30 minutes.
7:21
So and she was rude and nasty and then she was should.
7:24
Have got her. Should have got her some honey
7:25
mustard. Well, I'll tell you this, Honey
7:28
mustard is very popular out here, especially if you like
7:31
your fries. And I do like my fries.
7:33
And there are honey mustards in certain restaurants that are
7:37
better than others. And if you go to Miller's,
7:39
Miller's is it's sensational. They make it by hand.
7:42
It is delicious. It's, it's very sweet.
7:45
Anything I taste like mustard, I, I want to hurl.
7:48
I do not like mustard, everybody.
7:49
'S like the like brown, like brown, like any mustard or
7:53
yellow mustard. Any mustard, if it's not honey
7:55
mustard, you will not see me go out and.
7:57
Buy my dad, like my dad was, obviously we didn't grow up
8:02
bougie by any means, but it was usually around payday time.
8:06
I knew dad either got a bonus or something because he would he
8:09
would get sausages with grey Poupon.
8:12
It was like the only time we got it and it's like nostalgic for
8:15
me. Oh I like that, but like I'm not
8:17
like a huge mustard guy unless it's honey mustard as well.
8:20
The Grey Poupon was famous from Wayne's World.
8:24
That movie? Really.
8:25
And the commercial, you got it. And the commercial, you got to
8:28
give the commercial some credit. 100% and that's how Wayne's
8:30
World actually actually got it. Is is Garth and him or do you
8:34
have any grey Poupon, You know, with the old man sitting in a
8:37
limousine, you know, because it's a rich like whatever they
8:41
call it, some sauce. I've never had grey Poupon, so
8:45
it's not something. I'll tell you this horseradish
8:47
is pretty good with certain things.
8:49
Has anybody? I just, I can't get on board
8:51
with horseradish. You like it, Tom?
8:53
By the way, I want to introduce a very special guest in the
8:56
studio. You can wave into the thing.
8:57
All right, there you go. Tom is a fan of the show.
9:01
His uncle is a very good friend of mine.
9:04
And he's always wanted to come on the show, sit here, sit in
9:07
with the live show and just hang out with the boys.
9:10
And he reached out to me last week and he said, can I come?
9:14
Can I come and hang out? And I said, absolutely, come
9:16
into the studio. You know, as long as you're not
9:18
hanging or, you know, shooting the shit with Jabba, because
9:21
Jabba will probably scare you the hell away, you could come
9:24
and hang out with us and and just chill.
9:26
So he's he's sitting in today and you could talk into the mic.
9:30
Tom, we really appreciate you joining us.
9:31
And I know you're a big Yankee fan.
9:33
Jabba was a former Yankee and a guy that very well respected is
9:39
most known for his playoff game against the Cleveland Guardians
9:44
as he had those, I guess fleas or or itches, midges, midges,
9:49
they're fleas in my eyes. They were flying around and
9:52
itching. He was itching and smacking them
9:53
around. But that's where Jabba was most
9:55
known and and Joe Torre speaks about it in his book.
9:58
That was probably the worst thing he's ever.
9:59
Done well, that was that was after it started with the Jabba
10:02
rules. Let's like so let's go
10:03
chronological order. Here, well, I'm sorry, Jabba
10:06
rules is I mean, the shirts were the most popular ones.
10:08
I I don't have a shirt. I did sign with Modell's, so I I
10:12
actually did make some money, but yeah, I was like, man, I
10:15
never. And I actually, it's funny.
10:18
We, we were just talking about that one time in like shirts and
10:21
all this other stuff. I somehow came across this guy
10:25
on X huge fan. He goes, I wanted to get you
10:27
this shirt that we made when we were in college, but we were so
10:30
scared to like come and try to give it to you.
10:32
And I was like, you should have, it would have been sweet.
10:34
And it was like, obviously vulgarity's on it.
10:37
So I definitely would have worn it at the time.
10:39
So I was like, you should have done it.
10:41
He goes, we still might do it. I go, I'll wear it.
10:43
You're one with the the words tonight.
10:45
I mean, you've been using some big words.
10:47
Vulgarity. I mean, that's a word.
10:49
I mean shot in the dark. I'm sorry.
10:51
Impressive vocabulary. Well, you know, Jabba is
10:53
impressive in so many ways than one.
10:55
We just don't want to see the impressive things he does off
10:58
air because it could probably scare you.
11:01
It scares the shit out of me, but nevertheless.
11:03
Speaking of shirts though, you know many times people like why
11:05
are you wearing a Knick shirt? It's not wearing, it's not it's
11:09
definitely not Knick shirt. I can definitely read it and if.
11:11
You. No, it's just the color scheme.
11:13
Yeah, I mean, they copycat it, and if the Knicks want to sue
11:15
them, they're more than welcome. To do that job another.
11:17
Hey, hold on. That's my company, stupid.
11:19
Shut up. I'm sorry.
11:20
Then I guess they're going to sue you.
11:22
My wrist. Jabba, the real question is do
11:25
you have the Do you have the Heddesy special for Jr.
11:28
Smith if he arrives? Yeah, 100% we do.
11:32
But it's they, they like to send me stuff and rub it in because
11:35
they're Mets fans. So they'll send me like Mets
11:39
colors for things. And I'm like, I love you guys.
11:41
And it's our company. We've owned it for a while.
11:43
But I go if you keep sending me Mets colors, I'm going to punch
11:46
you guys. And then we just did like an
11:51
NWANWO wrestling one. That's actually pretty cool.
11:55
He tastes himself. Yeah.
11:56
I think you've worn that one on the show I remember.
11:58
That one, yeah. Yep, if I can eat your job, I'll
12:00
eat you right now. I mean, I need I need some real
12:03
food. I I taste good.
12:04
I I I had a really, really good. I got to ask Catherine if you
12:08
taste good. OK, I got to.
12:09
Ask it was you know what made made made some Taco salads?
12:14
It was fantastic. Anyway, so are you?
12:16
Are you a? Nacho or a Taco salad?
12:18
Would you rather do nachos or a Taco?
12:20
Salad I'm a Nacho guy, but I like Taco salad.
12:23
I like Taco salad and that's not bad.
12:25
I, I, if you go to Wendy's, they make a pretty good a Taco salad,
12:29
believe it or not. I at night time, if you're
12:31
looking for something to eat and you want to eat a little bit
12:33
healthy, you go get their Taco salad.
12:35
It's pretty damn good. It really is.
12:36
I like their beans, especially when I'm in the bathroom.
12:39
Nachos though, you can't get cheese sauce.
12:41
You got to get regular cheese so your chips don't get soggy.
12:44
Jabba is the chef of the show, so I who's the better?
12:47
Who's the best cook on this show?
12:49
It's got to be fish. It's got to be fish.
12:51
It's either fish are good fish, fish.
12:54
No, I've been a single dad my whole life.
12:57
Like get out of here. We're.
12:58
Going to have to figure this one out.
12:59
We're going to have to have a competition to cook.
13:01
Off yeah, we should like we should do like 1 is like we make
13:04
our favorite chili. One does steaks, one does
13:07
burgers. That would be fun, yeah.
13:08
Let's do it. I, I'm not much of A cook.
13:10
There's certain things I'm good at cooking.
13:12
I have my meatballs, my Swedish meatballs.
13:14
I have a recipe. It's delicious.
13:16
Anybody that's had it and I, I know I can hit it out of the
13:19
ballpark. I probably.
13:21
Make I do that's that is one that is 1 food that I honestly
13:25
like. Obviously I had the delis and
13:27
the bodegas and all the other stuff, but a true Italian
13:30
meatball. Like either just by itself or I
13:34
missed that so bad. Well, then I can make you some
13:37
meatballs or you can have some speedies.
13:38
Anyways, at 8:45 we're going to be talking to a 12 year NFL vet.
13:45
He's a safety, He's an all pro safety.
13:47
He's been in the NFL for a fairly long time.
13:50
He's played for the Eagles, Browns and Bills and Dolphins,
13:54
and it's the first time on Jop in the Mouth.
13:55
We're very excited to have him on.
13:57
Jordan Poyer will be joining us. Thank you to Nathan.
14:01
Nathan's rocking and, you know, wearing that blue blazer today.
14:05
He's chefing away all over New Jersey.
14:08
So we love Nathan. He's driving right now.
14:10
He's in backstage and we'll get Nathan on a little bit later in
14:13
the show. Hopefully he's not playing with
14:14
himself or daggering. Him.
14:15
So Nathan just likes his chicken Curry.
14:16
Well, I like that chicken Curry too, you know, Speaking of
14:19
chicken Curry, which I'm trying to find the job, but I'm a
14:22
little lost today. I I don't even want to look for
14:24
it. I I got to get into the show
14:25
here. Let's get into it.
14:27
The National League won an All Star games won the All Star game
14:31
76 in the first ever All Star game swing off basically a Home
14:36
Run Derby in extra innings. The National League had a six O
14:40
lead after six innings, but the American League tied it in it
14:45
with four runs in the seventh inning and two runs in the ninth
14:49
inning. This led to the first All Star
14:51
game, a swing off where the National in the league 1/4 to
14:54
three, led by three home runs by Kyle Schwarber.
14:58
Many fans took shots at both teams for not putting the
15:02
biggest stars like Aaron Judge and Shay Ohtani in the swing
15:06
off, but reports say many of those top players had already
15:11
left the stadium. Jeff Passan also had a tweet
15:16
complaining about this, not even realizing some of those top
15:20
players left and Brett Rooker, Brent Rooker took shots at
15:26
Passan saying I'm not good enough for you.
15:28
That's what he's saying. Aaron Boone also took a lot of
15:32
backlash for not using Judge or Cal Rally, but he said that was
15:38
never part of the plans if they needed a swing off at the end of
15:45
the game. First of all, nobody ever
15:47
thought it was going to be a swing off.
15:48
The National League was absolutely dominating the
15:50
American League throughout the game.
15:53
And the American League, look, I don't know what the American
15:56
League was doing. I think they were eating Turkey
15:58
and they were getting ready for Thanksgiving because they were
16:01
definitely not ready to play the game.
16:03
It looked like the National League had every thought of
16:05
winning that game in the American League just had no
16:08
thought. But I didn't even get a chance
16:10
to watch the full game because I wasn't even really interested.
16:14
But what I was interested throughout the second-half of
16:18
the game is how the National League, and I'll say this, how
16:23
the National League didn't just completely shut out the American
16:26
League. The American League did not use
16:28
any of their top stars. They really did it.
16:31
Aaron Judge barely played it to me.
16:35
When you when you talk about going to an All Star game, you
16:37
want to see the stars, right? You want to see the biggest
16:39
stars in all the professional baseball.
16:41
Aaron Judge is the biggest star in baseball.
16:44
You can argue him and Shay Otani are the faces of Major League
16:49
Baseball and you didn't really get a chance to see those guys.
16:52
Kyle Schwarber, who had a sensational game, obviously
16:56
winning the MVP and he he got the bats and he got.
17:00
The He had a sensational moment. He didn't have a sensational
17:02
game. Well, the moment is the
17:05
sensational part of the game. Moments take over games, right?
17:08
All you have to do is take over one part of the game, and it's a
17:11
sensational, the sensational part of the game.
17:14
The fact is, is when you talk about All Star Games there,
17:18
there's nothing sensational about it.
17:20
And being that right now there's no football, there's no hockey,
17:24
there's no basketball, there's no nothing tennis and Wimbledon
17:28
is over, there's nothing to talk about.
17:31
So what is everybody watching? If you're a sports fan, you're
17:34
tuning into either watching the All Star Game or watching the
17:37
WNBA. And no, you got a major
17:41
tournament in golf coming up, starting at 12:45 tonight.
17:44
Yeah, coming up, but it wasn't going on every single betting
17:48
man. And I'll say this, if you're a
17:50
betting sports, you know, gambler, you're going out there,
17:54
you're trying to find something to bet on and it's nothing to
17:56
bet on unless you're betting on the CFL, which as you hear Carl
18:00
say it over and over and over again, nobody gives a crap about
18:03
the CFL. Or you could go and watch high
18:06
school volleyball like Nathan as he hosts it for the NR hour or
18:11
NR minute or media as he goes out there and he's trying to
18:14
promote women's high school volleyball.
18:18
The fact is, that's why the ESPN put on MLB's, I'm sorry, MLB's.
18:26
No, no, no. It wasn't the home run.
18:27
What was it over the weekend? It was the draft.
18:30
The the MLB be quiet over there. The MLB draft.
18:34
Nobody cares about the MLB draft really.
18:36
The big drafts to watch is the NFL and the NBA.
18:39
Those were the, those are the drafts that everybody looks to.
18:42
Even the NHL draft is not really popular.
18:44
But over the years it's, it's been more, more interesting to
18:48
watch to see what the New York teams are going to do and, and
18:51
the metropolitan teams are going to do.
18:53
But right now, this is the worst time for sports.
18:56
So everybody was tuned in to watch baseball, at least most
19:00
people were. I wasn't because I could care
19:02
less who won that game. There was nothing in the game
19:05
that really was going to draw me to it.
19:08
If if it had some implications to whoever wins the game is
19:12
going to have home field advantage for the American
19:14
League or National League, then I would have an interesting
19:17
thought to watch that game. Nothing in the game and people
19:20
were texting me. Oh, did you see the polar bear?
19:23
Did you see that rocket that he hit?
19:24
I could care less. I to me it, it it's just show
19:28
for the fans. That's what it was.
19:30
So when everybody was crying who was going to play in the game,
19:33
when we were talking about Miss Orowski and why Miss Orowski
19:36
made it over Suarez or Sanchez, nobody gave a crap about the All
19:42
Star game. I don't think Suarez or Sanchez
19:45
would have cared who was going to win the MVP or who was
19:48
starting or finishing the game. All they care about is getting
19:52
into the playoffs and going into the show, getting into the the
19:56
World Series and trying to win a championship.
19:58
If they get there, they're going to win there.
20:00
They're going to get their money and they're going to have a
20:01
chance to get that one. Beautiful.
20:04
Or as Jabba would show you, 2 beautiful rings.
20:07
The fact is, everybody's trying to find something to complain
20:11
about. Media is trying to create
20:12
something. A stir.
20:15
You got to remember too. You said it though, It's like it
20:18
You try to stir up stuff right now just because there's not
20:22
else, there's nothing else going on.
20:24
So it's like there's nothing. Trying it's.
20:26
It is what it is. I just there's some things I
20:29
would change and I think there's a lot of things like I wish they
20:33
would go back and and speedy, I know you're like a
20:36
traditionalist when it comes to like old school stuff.
20:38
I wish they'd go back to the 10 outs because I want to see the
20:41
homers and I want to see how far they go.
20:45
I don't want it feels like it's just all straight when they're
20:47
doing like Home Run Derby and all the other stuff.
20:49
And that's what I didn't get too.
20:51
What? So if you're going to have a
20:53
swing off in the game, why? Why didn't we have a swing off
20:56
in the Home Run Derby when you wanted to dictate it by less
20:59
than an inch and let a computer algorithm figure it out, Give
21:03
them the same thing that they would have that they did in the
21:06
swing off. Like what are we doing here?
21:08
I don't even. Maybe they should have just had
21:10
a whole game of a swing off, that would have been more
21:12
interesting. I would watch that still, yes, I
21:15
would rather. Watch a whole game of a swing
21:17
off. Just see a. 100%.
21:19
You know, from 1:00 to 9:00, see who hits more home runs or that
21:22
that makes more sense of something that draw the fans to
21:26
go out there and pay for the tickets.
21:28
Just think about it. You're going out there every
21:31
single year and watching garbage baseball.
21:34
That's what it is. It's garbage baseball.
21:36
Just like the NBA when teams are scoring 200 points, the West and
21:40
the East or the national team against the United States team,
21:44
it's it's boring. It's not fun anymore.
21:48
They're not playing defense. Nobody gives a crap.
21:50
They're laughing, they're giggling.
21:51
There's nothing. There's nothing about the All
21:54
Star game and Jeff Passan going out there and complaining.
21:57
Jeff, stop, stop. I know you're trying to sell
22:01
what you're going to write every single, every single hour, every
22:03
single minute. Nobody cares what you think
22:06
about this game because there's nothing important about the
22:08
game. The fact is I would have liked
22:10
to see Mizarowski throw 106 or if Aroldis Chapman actually.
22:15
Did you see the interview with Mizarowski and Ken Rosenthal?
22:19
Wholly awkward, totally awkward. Like it's not, it wasn't his
22:25
choice. It's not like he called up and
22:27
then everybody's like, well, he should have really just been
22:30
like, no, I'm not going to accept this blah, blah, blah.
22:33
It wasn't like he was, he was telling everybody that he would
22:36
like they put him on. You're going to tell a kid that
22:41
you're going to make a decision to be like, hey, no, I don't
22:44
deserve it. I've only made 5 starts in the
22:46
bit like and they brought up stats of all kinds of things
22:49
like oh, Craig Kimball's done. He's like 7 but never started a
22:52
game and blah blah. I'm like, what are we like?
22:55
What, what are we really doing? Like it's you want to see the
22:59
studs like and not to say that Ranger stories and those guys
23:03
aren't sexy, but they don't throw 103.
23:06
No, like that's what you want to see.
23:07
You're right, Jabba, you're right.
23:08
Mesorowski had nothing, nothing to say because there's no reason
23:12
for the kid to speak. He.
23:13
Handled it great though, he really did.
23:15
First of all, Mesorowski is going to be one of the phenoms
23:18
we're going to watch for the next 5 to 10 years.
23:20
As long as he stays healthy. This guy throws heat and I don't
23:24
care what anybody says. That's what you want to see.
23:26
You want to got you. When Chapman came into the
23:28
league, when rolled this Chapman came in the league, came in the
23:30
league and everybody was talking about this kid.
23:31
They didn't care that he threw a change up.
23:33
Nobody cared that he threw like a cut gas ball.
23:36
All they wanted to see was the heat.
23:39
That's all they wanted to see that he can hit 100 practically
23:42
every single time he threw the ball.
23:44
And at some points he was hitting 101 and 102.
23:47
This guy's throwing 103. And some people said, I want,
23:50
you know, during practices, he's throwing 105.
23:53
That's what I want to see. I want to see the young phenoms
23:57
just Chuck, you know, try to hit points and that's what you want
24:01
to see. And it's like this.
24:03
Why do people go to All Star games really you want to see the
24:06
stars right and what do you want to see this party?
24:08
What do you want to see the stars Do you want to see the
24:11
stars be stars that's what you want so why are you watching
24:15
Aaron judge play? You want to see him Jack a home
24:18
run 500 feet. Why you want to see Cal rally
24:22
hit at the plate because you want to see him hit 505 hundred
24:26
home runs if he could that's what you want to see.
24:29
You don't want to see oh, oh, did you see Juan Soto?
24:33
See him bitch? And then he plays in the game
24:35
and he gets a single or double. Nobody cares if he's hitting a
24:38
single double or draws a walk. Nobody cares.
24:41
Throw the ball over the plate and let him hit it.
24:43
That's what I want to see. That's the whole point of the
24:46
All Star game to entertain the fan.
24:49
Does anybody care that the game was 6?
24:51
Nothing. Now, I'll tell you this.
24:53
If the game was like 30 to 20 and you're, you're watching a
24:56
baseball game like a like a not even a hockey game, like a
24:59
football game, that would be more interesting than watching a
25:02
game end out end up what, four to three?
25:06
Nobody cares. Nobody cares that the game ended
25:10
that way. That's what.
25:11
I'm saying I've seen back and forth on this other issue too
25:14
and I want to get both of your guys's opinions.
25:17
I like it because it's obviously a different environment to be
25:21
able to do these. I love the on field as they're
25:25
doing interviews. I love them.
25:27
For that event, it definitely applies to that I think.
25:29
I don't like it during the regular season.
25:31
I understand that. But for this event, I thought it
25:34
was great, like to see like actually like Clayton's literal
25:38
like personality. If you didn't know him and it
25:41
comes out and he's like, what do you want here?
25:43
And then you know, he was like suck at big dumper.
25:46
Like you don't get to hear those things.
25:48
And it's like I for events like this, I, I really like it.
25:52
Some people didn't like it as I was talking to them.
25:54
I thought it was really cool and like how easy was the ABS system
25:59
when they did it? It was 5 seconds and it was
26:01
done. It was great.
26:03
Yeah. And I'm like.
26:05
I think the NBA was trying to implement that too into the All
26:07
Star game. You've seen NBA throughout the
26:09
year do the the players only broadcast so to try to implement
26:12
that. So I think their baseball was
26:13
trying a combination of that and they really only did it with the
26:15
the national games. But now you're guys seeing it
26:17
more. I like it's a job.
26:18
I am with you on that. But you're right, I wouldn't do
26:19
that in like every regular season.
26:20
Game I think baseball is a generational sport that you've
26:25
been watching. Most people are watching from
26:27
the 1900s and now these All Star games for all professional.
26:31
Look what look what the NFL has become.
26:33
It's become flag football that because no, but none of the
26:36
players were actually hitting the other players.
26:38
So they they transition into flag football.
26:41
It's more interesting to watch because the players are actually
26:44
playing, but they don't want to tear their Achilles.
26:47
They don't want to tear their rotator cuff.
26:49
So what are they doing? They're just they're playing
26:51
like a normal flag football game.
26:53
It's funny. It's fun when you're watching
26:55
like like Tyreek Hill run and do routes on the field because
26:59
nobody can catch him. But when you watch some of the
27:01
guys like Russell Wilson play or may play guys that shouldn't
27:05
have even been in the All Star Game or the Pro Bowl, and then
27:08
you then you look at the major leagues.
27:10
That's why the World's Baseball Championships is more
27:14
interesting than some people say the regular season of baseball.
27:17
Why? Because everybody is playing for
27:20
their colors. Why did the NHL decided for the
27:22
All Star Game to transition into that?
27:24
What do they call that? The Four Nations?
27:27
Why did they do that? Because these players are going
27:30
to play for their colors, they're going to play for their
27:32
countries. So you're going to see a better
27:34
game. Now, if I, this is what baseball
27:37
should do, make the All Star game like that.
27:39
Play four games, you know, not 4 innings or three, you know, 6
27:44
innings or whatever the hell you're going to do.
27:46
Speed up the innings. And what I would do is play four
27:49
games or five games or whatever. However, or just or if you just
27:54
switch it to the game where it's USA versus world any I mean, I
27:57
get they don't want to like take it away.
27:59
Oh kid from Omaha's starting for the 76ers in Summer League right
28:03
now. There you.
28:06
Go. Omaha.
28:07
Omaha, Yeah. Josh takes it with the rest.
28:09
Maybe just do it the one time. I I get why they don't because
28:13
it gives us something as baseball fans to look forward to
28:17
and and not during like the regular or All Star break.
28:22
So I can see why they wouldn't, but it mean when you do like
28:26
Futures games or you do the Olympics, it's it's only, it's
28:30
your country. It's not American League,
28:33
National League. So maybe they they switch,
28:36
they're switching stuff all the time.
28:38
So you just never do. But that's what.
28:39
She's doing. You could probably.
28:41
Even do well, I don't disagree you could.
28:42
Probably even do a regional too do like North America, Caribbean
28:45
and and Asia. Make it more interesting and I
28:48
think these players will actually play if they're playing
28:51
for their colors, and that's what I would think.
28:53
Now, obviously the World Baseball Classics coming up at
28:56
the end of this year and people are going to be more in tune to
28:58
that. Look at the United States team.
29:00
I don't think we've seen a United States team this good
29:03
ever. I mean, look at the talent from
29:05
top to bottom. They're catchers.
29:07
Cal Rally, you have Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper, Mike Trout.
29:11
All these guys are playing, turning.
29:13
They're all, they're all actually doing it too.
29:15
Like we've, we've seen guys commit to actually doing it,
29:19
which that's, that's what I but it's also like when you get the
29:24
opportunity to represent your country, it's, it's different.
29:26
It is, it really is. It's not to say that it's not,
29:30
but the first time I really got like AI guess a dose of how
29:35
important it is, is why I would play with some guys in about
29:39
August. I would see them like running
29:42
stairs, lifting harder. And I was like, Hey, what?
29:46
Like because they go back and play in Dominican winter ball
29:51
and that means the world to them.
29:53
They were all great players that I've played with.
29:55
But like you just noticed it. It's just different when you get
29:58
a like represent and and have I guess that that badge of honor
30:03
of not only wearing your country, but like winning and
30:06
being able to talk crap, you know, because that's half the
30:08
fun when you get to beat somebody.
30:10
But that's the whole point of the All Star game.
30:12
You want, you want to get these guys to play, not sit back and
30:16
hang out with each other in a dugout and look like, hey, did
30:18
you see that woman over there? Do you see their, you know, in
30:21
the 2nd row? Look at those titties.
30:22
You know that's what's going on. I get it and we kind of touched
30:26
on a little bit. I there should be some value on
30:29
the game. I don't think there should be
30:31
value of who gets home field advantage in the World Series
30:34
because it that doesn't make sense.
30:36
There should be something in it though.
30:38
But I just like I like it because it's it's it's fun and
30:45
you don't necessarily like have some like should there be
30:49
something like do you get a bonus?
30:50
Like people didn't realize the Home Run Derby, there was
30:53
bonuses for first, second, third and 4th.
30:56
Like it wasn't chump change either.
30:59
And it's plus your bonus of playing.
31:00
And people are like, Oh yeah, well, he's, he's talking about
31:03
leaving money on the table. Well, I don't give a crap what
31:06
you say. An extra half $1,000,000 or 3/4
31:09
of a million is, is money. It's another trip for your
31:12
family or it's another college education for your kids, like
31:15
whatever. And I think it's just if they
31:20
did like a whole swing off or switch it up, do stuff like I'd
31:25
be in because it's the the game. The game really doesn't mean
31:28
anything. No, it doesn't.
31:30
And that to me is why I I can't stand watching it.
31:33
And everybody asked me last night, I.
31:35
You know it's the most watched All Star game of all the.
31:38
I know. Still the best one.
31:39
Yeah. Well, again, even though
31:41
football is the biggest sport here in the United States when
31:44
it comes to All Star games and talent as as far as superstars
31:47
are concerned, there are more superstars.
31:50
Yeah, there's more superstars playing in those baseball All
31:52
Star games than any of the sports.
31:55
And again, it's also the the you make the most money besides
31:59
basketball because even though football is bringing in the most
32:02
endorsements, it's going to the owners really and it's going to
32:06
the commissioner. We all know that.
32:08
It's not really going to the players when it comes to
32:10
baseball and it comes to basketball.
32:12
Basketball, 90% of it is going to the players.
32:17
Really. If you look at it, it's a
32:18
players league. It's not 90%.
32:20
I'm sorry. That would be a little too much.
32:21
I would say 6065% is really going somewhere, somewhere into
32:28
the players hands. I look at baseball.
32:31
Baseball is just you're really fighting for your own contract.
32:34
You're you're your own man when it comes when you're going up to
32:37
the plate and everybody says, well, you're playing for the
32:39
team and I know what job are you going to say this?
32:41
You're still a team player. Nobody cares about what the team
32:44
is doing. They care about what you're
32:45
doing because you're getting the contract in in seven years,
32:49
you're going to be asking for four hundred $500 million.
32:53
The team isn't because every single one of those players are
32:56
going to be asking for a separate contract.
32:58
That's that's the fact. So you're going up there playing
33:01
for yourself and now there are other players that are team
33:03
players. I'm not saying that Aaron Judge
33:05
isn't playing for the Yankees and trying to win a championship
33:08
for the Yankees, but he's going up there for his family.
33:10
He's going up there for his contract.
33:12
That's. Well, his, his, his.
33:13
It's different now because he got his contract, but like and.
33:16
You know what I mean? You know what I'm?
33:18
Saying no, no, and I will say kind of this in the same way as
33:21
like we, we as a fraternity, like we want the guy in like our
33:28
position to get broke off because what does that do for
33:33
us? If I go perform, I kind of have
33:35
his same numbers and ability. Like now he goes and sets a
33:40
record. It's like, boom, OK, now I can
33:44
set that number because my number wasn't that high.
33:46
It's funny how people always are like don't like the Red Sox or
33:49
whatever. And I'm like, I love everybody
33:51
that signs a contract because that helps us at any point.
33:54
And I was back when I signed my first arbitration project, it
33:59
was the largest ever for a non closure in arbitration.
34:02
Oh wow, and then Craig Breslow said it two weeks like he broke
34:07
my record 2 weeks after because he used mine.
34:11
Yeah, records. Are meant to be broken, but we
34:13
love that. That's why we wanna see these
34:16
guys do that and that's why we root for one another and why we
34:19
have that fraternity. It's like you see it and they're
34:22
like awesome. You just set a record and it's
34:24
boom, like here you go, here you go, like it's numbers.
34:27
It's all about money. That's what these games are all
34:30
about. And and again, going back to
34:32
guys like Aaron Judge or Shay Otani, Shay Otani just he just
34:36
got a contract a couple of years ago worth about 70 million a
34:39
year. That's what he's making and he's
34:42
not getting it right now because it's deferred money until like
34:44
12 years down the road. But he.
34:46
Is going to make his his New Balance in Japanese ones he's
34:50
making 50 million. Here, we all know what he's
34:52
making every single year without the contract.
34:54
The whole point is, is that these players are playing for
34:57
those teams, but they're really not playing for the the brand,
35:01
the team name, the the logo, they're playing for their logo.
35:05
Why do you think these guys have their own products?
35:08
Why do you think these guys after the fact they're wearing
35:10
their own cleats, their own names on their cleats, their own
35:13
socks, their own gloves. I mean, half of these guys are
35:17
all about promoting their own product, not the MLB, and that's
35:21
the fact. And I'm just speaking to truth
35:23
here. So when you're playing any old
35:24
star game, what are you going to do on national television?
35:27
If I was a player. Right now.
35:29
No, it well have fun, yes, but the whole point for me, if I'm
35:33
if I'm trying to bring in more generational money, what I'm
35:36
doing is I'm bringing in I'm going to wear my own gloves I'm
35:39
going to wear pink gloves nobody's ever seen before so
35:42
people could see it on television say I want those,
35:45
Aaron Judge wore those Bryce Harper won those my Trout wore
35:49
those. I want those I'm going to go to
35:50
stores to get them so. Girl, we we shorted Ohtani.
35:54
This is via sportaco.com. Shohei's supposed to make $102
36:00
million off the field. That's ridiculous.
36:04
How does somebody make $102,000,000 and just be OK with
36:08
it? That's, that's including the 2
36:09
million that he's making playing.
36:11
So it's 100 million. So 98% of his salary is coming
36:17
from like New Balance beats. Oh my gosh, I didn't realize it
36:23
was that much. Spit it out, speedy.
36:25
You see during the Korea series Java there was that whole like
36:28
street with like their equivalent.
36:30
Tokyo's equivalent of Times Square just had also a Otani.
36:33
Either sponsors or videos like all during that series.
36:36
That's what I'm saying. These guys are all about making
36:39
money, generational money through the products that
36:42
they're trying to sell. So if I'm playing in an All Star
36:44
game and I'm out there trying to show off something, I'm showing
36:48
off something that fans are going to see me wearing or
36:52
playing with that they're going to say, mom, I want that dad, I
36:55
want that go get me that, you know, so that's the whole point.
36:58
I think for these big games, national televised games is, is
37:02
getting, you know, fans to see what they're doing, what they're
37:05
wearing and what they're sporting.
37:06
I mean, the first thing I see when I would see these guys wear
37:09
their, their necklaces is where do you get that necklace?
37:12
I it's not gold. What is that?
37:13
Is that is that black diamonds? And then I'm looking all over
37:17
social media trying to fight find a replica of it because
37:20
because I like it. I like to shine.
37:22
I mean, I saw Patrick Mahomes a couple of years ago after the
37:26
Super Bowl. He was putting on his necklaces
37:28
2 double like diamond, black diamond necklaces.
37:31
And I'm like, are those really? I mean, he was shining in the
37:33
lights. I'm like, those are those are
37:34
hot. I got to find.
37:35
So I was all over Amazon. I was all over Google trying to
37:38
find out what he was wearing. I was Googling Patrick Mahomes
37:43
necklaces at Super Bowl, blah, blah, blah.
37:46
I was looking all over for I couldn't find it.
37:48
But you know, that's what I'm saying when you see it on
37:51
national television and, and you're interested in in trying
37:54
to to buy the product, the first thing you're going to do is
37:57
you're going to Google it, you're going to go on Amazon,
37:59
you're going to try to find it. So I.
38:00
Think I love that you said necklace because you remember as
38:04
baseball fans, you remember when the fighting craze came about
38:07
Yes yes and like those I just a buddy sent me when he goes.
38:11
I just found this in my parents' house and I wore it because of
38:15
you. My dad wore one almost till the
38:17
day I put him in the dirt. I'm like, Dad, that shit ain't
38:21
hot no more. Let's let's take that off.
38:23
They've already, they've already paid me my, they've already paid
38:25
me my 200 grand. You know, let's not talk about
38:28
dirt because your speed. He's grown some dirt under his
38:30
nose. You know what I mean?
38:32
A lot of dirt under his nose. He's starting to look like Moses
38:34
again. I ain't.
38:36
Eventually he's going to look at Jesus Christ.
38:38
I it to me, I, I look at the game and, and, and the way the
38:43
game is played over the last couple of years, it, it's not
38:47
become a sport where everybody is trying to, you know, trying
38:51
to win the fan over because they're stealing bases or
38:54
playing great defense. They're they want to see the
38:56
jacks, they want to see the home runs, They want to see the power
38:59
hitters. They want to see those guys hit
39:01
those 600 foot home runs. I mean, if you ever see one,
39:04
that's. What they want to see, they want
39:06
to see 100. And how about yes and the
39:08
pitchers? And the pitchers throwing 100
39:11
mph, that's what you want to see consistently.
39:14
I mean, again, we, we, we talk about school ball, He what he
39:19
does and it's pretty it's pretty amazing how he throws the ball
39:23
and how he notches at at the end of the game, his last pitch of
39:26
the game, pitching a full game, practically really perfect,
39:30
perfect throwing 103 mph. I mean, it's incredible how much
39:36
how much power these guys have at the end there he is right
39:39
there. So it's yes, Tariq school.
39:43
I I got the name right. So again, I I look at the game,
39:47
you want to see the power pitchers, you want to see the
39:49
power hitters. It doesn't work in the playoffs
39:52
and everybody knows that. If you're a baseball fan, we
39:54
have one right over here. Thomas, he's a Yankee fan and
39:57
he's a die hard Yankee fan. The Yankees have been known as
40:00
we all know they're they're all about power.
40:03
You know, the Bronx Bombers. Power doesn't win championships.
40:07
And, and again, Steinbrenner learned that the hard way in the
40:10
80s. How many championships did the
40:12
Yankees win in the 80s? OK.
40:14
And. Terrible.
40:16
But actually they actually not. They had the best winning
40:18
percentage of the. American.
40:19
They did, but they could never get over the hump.
40:21
And there was no wild card. Yeah, they had no wild cards at
40:24
that time. And with Don Mattingly having
40:26
the best years of his career in the 80s, it didn't really
40:29
matter. The Yankees ruined Don
40:31
Mattingly. The five, I would say five of
40:33
the best years a Yankee has ever had.
40:35
Go look at Don Mattingly's numbers.
40:37
They. Ridiculous.
40:37
Aaron Judge did give shout out though.
40:40
Did give shout out for his Hitman blazer.
40:42
Did he give a shout out to somebody else's Blazer Blazer
40:48
himself? There wasn't.
40:51
The outfits weren't as outlandish as they usually are.
40:54
Actually, the Espy's on tonight. We got to watch that.
40:57
I know I'm watching it right? Now I got to put the espy's on
41:00
because I'll. Also find out what stupid thing
41:02
LeBron will say. Well, I could care less what
41:04
Lebron's going to say. And by the way, the LJA is
41:07
there. Everybody is there from the LJA.
41:10
I saw Chris Paul there. Carmel What the?
41:12
Hell is the entire. Mellow Anthony, Dwyane Wade
41:15
doing there. They're not even in the league
41:17
anymore. What the hell are they doing at
41:20
the SP Awards? I don't.
41:21
And by the way, they're probably.
41:23
Probably getting away from their wives.
41:25
No, they're wives are with them. They're wives are with.
41:27
Them they're part of the Wine Click Java.
41:29
Is this, is this it right here? This has got to be it's ABC, so
41:32
it's got to be it best championship performance.
41:34
I think what baseball needs is they need to figure out a way
41:37
that's going to draw more fans or more young baseball fans to
41:42
be more intrigued to watch a professional All Star game.
41:46
Because to me, I have no interest and that's why I
41:49
didn't. I wasn't really tuned in to
41:51
watch it. That's the point.
41:52
I even, I would rather watch the NBA All Star game and watch
41:57
these guys do these tomahawk dunks or Giannis, you know,
42:01
throw the ball against the backboard and or I saw Chris
42:04
Paul bounce the ball off the backboard to Blake Griffin over
42:08
the years. I mean, that's what you want to
42:10
see. You want to see these crazy,
42:11
ridiculous dunks and crazy things in the All Star game.
42:14
You just don't see that in baseball it's either.
42:16
But I but I think it's, I think it's different though, because
42:18
you got guys like pulling up basically from half court.
42:21
Like at least baseball has some realness of what the real game
42:26
is because you still got to stay in 60 feet, 6 inches.
42:28
You're not going to pull from half court unless it's a buzzer
42:31
beater. You're still going to swing.
42:33
You're going to be smart. So I think there's a little bit
42:36
different flashiness when it comes down to it.
42:39
And it's like Euanio Suarez, who thank goodness nothing happened,
42:43
but he got hit in the 8th inning.
42:44
Like there's like there's real stuff, like you're still getting
42:49
faced. I just think it's literally like
42:53
the NBA is a gimmick. The MLB is still the game.
42:56
I think it's. All it's not, they're not,
42:58
they're not like going balls to the wall, right?
43:01
Jabba the game, Every single sport is a gimmick now.
43:04
It's all about business. It's all about.
43:06
Not the, not the, not MLB. All because you still are.
43:09
You kidding me? The the betting man is.
43:11
Going to go out the game. On the whole game, they're going
43:13
to bet on the whole game. Bryce Harper, is he going to get
43:16
a hit in the game? Is oh, is right.
43:18
I'm not saying they are, but is. But is the score 30 to 20 like
43:22
you brought up? No, it's still a game if not 165
43:26
to 150. I would rather it be a gimmick
43:29
then watch the garbage of A. No, I want to watch it 6
43:32
Nothing. They come back the infield thing
43:34
and he runs his tail off Stephen Kwan ran as hard as he did in
43:38
the regular season to beat that ball out.
43:39
Ronald Acuna did the same thing early in the game to beat a ball
43:42
out in first. I love that NBA All Star game is
43:47
not garbage as Charles Bark would say it's.
43:50
True. All right, let's go to the deuce
43:51
of the day. The deuce of the day.
43:55
You log. Not a log.
43:56
I don't have a log. But no.
44:05
All right, ladies and gentlemen, my deuce of the day goes to, you
44:08
know, I've been trying to think of a way I can attack the New
44:11
York Yankees. Here's my deuce to the Chisholm,
44:15
the chizzy man who came out after that debacle of a Home Run
44:20
Derby and said, hey, Yankee fans, don't worry about the Home
44:23
Run Derby. I'm going to do something
44:25
electrifying after the set going into the second-half of the
44:29
season. I'm going to take my team to a
44:32
World Series and win a World Series.
44:33
This is the this is the problem right now with the New York
44:37
Yankees. You have spectators and asses
44:41
like Jazz Chisholm coming out and again saying that the
44:44
Yankees are going to win a World Series and he's going to help
44:47
them go all the way to the World Series and win one.
44:50
When the guy couldn't hit more than three home runs in a Home
44:52
Run Derby when somebody S lobbing the ball over the plate.
44:55
This idiot had the audacity after say the Yankees are going
45:00
to the World Series and he's going to help them go there.
45:03
Jazz, shut up. I don't want to hear any more of
45:06
the garbage coming out of your mouth.
45:07
It's so stupid. I want to hurl every time I look
45:10
at your face. I I call you Jism because I
45:13
rather go into the bathroom and look at a hot beautiful woman
45:18
and have a little fun, then listen to the garbage that comes
45:21
out of your goddamn mouth. I can't stand it.
45:24
I think the guy is just all, oh, I don't know what he is.
45:29
He I, I don't even know I've done with this.
45:31
My dues of the day goes to the Chisholm man because he's
45:34
nothing but a nice jizz for everybody to have a little fun
45:37
with. And anybody.
45:38
I don't know what I forgot what Nathan said.
45:40
There was a there was a porn star all over the tabloids
45:44
recently, I think, and I'd rather look at her than look at
45:47
look at Jazz actually play baseball.
45:49
I know he's playing pretty good baseball.
45:51
I know he's one of the hottest hitters in baseball in the in
45:54
the last couple of weeks, the guy made an embarrassment of
45:57
himself right there at the Home Run Derby and then it comes out
45:59
and says that embarrassing crap. It's just I, I'm so tired of
46:02
hearing him. I don't want to hear it anymore.
46:04
Just shut your mouth, zip your mouth.
46:05
I'd rather hear Aaron Judge open his mouth than hear you say it.
