For the first time in history, step down and meet the fucking Mets because they are going to be a force to be reckoned with. Bring the wife and bring the kitties.

Bring them this time. Because guess what? You're not killing yourself this time. No, no, no, no. You're not hiding the kitties. You're not hiding your wife. You're not going to step upright and kill yourself. You're going to step up and introduce everybody to the New York Mets.

You're going to introduce everybody to Steve Cohen, the richest man in baseball. You're going to introduce everybody to the new crown jewel of Major League Baseball, the new franchise that nobody wants to fuck with. The new franchise that everybody's going to be afraid of. Yankee fans don't know what to do, Jared. They don't know. They're beside themselves. They don't know how to handle it.

They're like, no, no, money doesn't mean you win. Just look at us. I'm like, yeah, just look. It's the only time you get Yankee fans to admit that they don't actually win is when you talk about Steve Cohen. They're like, well, it doesn the only time you get Yankee fans to admit that they don't actually win is when you talk about Steve Cohen. They're like, well, it doesn't work for us. It doesn't work for you guys because your owners fucking stink. Your front office is stupid.

They don't know what they're fucking doing. Steve Cohen is going to put together a crack staff that can't be fucked with, that can't be topped. This is the first time in history that the Mets are not going to be a punchline, a laughingstock, the butt of everyone's joke. From here on out, the Mets are a fucking problem. Problem. And the White Sox franchises of the world, the Padres of the world,

all these other teams that feel like they're on the come up, see you later. We're leaving you in the fucking dust. I love seeing Happy Kevin. And you know who's here to join us right now is my man, DeClembe Mutombo. Clem! My Clem! Building on a motherfucking Friday, Clem.

Let's go! What's up, beautiful people? How we doing? I'm just so happy! Everybody's happy! Good afternoon, everybody! How did you know I see Clem? Clem. Everybody's happy! Good afternoon, everybody! Greg Carton's back on the air. The Mets are good to go.

Things are good in New York City, and I want to congratulate you. I want to thank you for being there by my side. You've been an amazing sponsor through the Mets fans' anonymous days, and now what happens? What happens? I don't know, Clement.

It's like we've always said the analogy has been that we are addicts to this team and that it ruins us and then we're each other's sponsors so we stay away and then we relapse and all this stuff. Well, what's the next step? Is it now that we're part and then we relapse and all this stuff well what is what's the next step is it now that we're partying and we just don't care is it now that we're just allowed to be Mets junkies are we are we clean and we're seeing clearly and we're living this new happy happy sober life of of Steve Cohen I don't know what the analogy is anymore but all I know is we're no longer junkie addicts. We're no longer losers.

We are now major players. We're sitting at the cool kids table. We're getting invited to the cool kids party, Clem. Let's go. We are. Uncle Stevie saw us. He saw us. He said needles in our arms.

Might have had some shit around us. He's like, you poor thing. He lifted us up. Kevin, there were footprints in the sand. And when I said, Uncle Steve, there's only one set of footprints, he says, Kevin, Clem, that's when I carried you. I carried you to being a baseball fan, a normal big market baseball fan. You want to know what it's going to be like? Look at that beautiful young man, Jair Carabas.

That's the kind of life we're going to live. Look at that smile. Look how happy he is. Hey, Clem, do me a favor. Look at his eyes. Do you see bags under his eyes? No. Do you see?

Does he have? And you know what he has in his eyes, in his eyeballs? He has life in his eyeballs. He's got a glisten in his eyes. He's got a twinkle in his eyes. And there's that little smile where it goes ding and the tooth. You have that white, shiny tooth because you're happy and you're healthy and you love your life as a baseball fan.

That's going to be us, Clem. I can't wait to look like the Rockets. I've never been happier. This is the reverse rickety cricket. We're basically Benjamin Button and the rickety cricket. We're going to go from the straight up vile scum of the earth junkie to just like a man of the cloth a man of yes yes i'm gonna be honest here for a sec when i was listening to this call you know meet the mets

one of the most delightful jingles ever right but i'm listening on the call and i'm hearing it and i almost broke down in tears because i'm just thinking that song used to just mean something really really bad happened you were live on radio right And it's so sick that that song was twisted against us. It's not even about us. It's about our children. They get to experience life. They don't have to go through the shit. We went through the dog shit.

We went through the fire, the laughs, the misery. And they get to experience what life is like as a fan of a big market baseball team, which is about as good as it gets as a sports fan. And you know what? Nothing in sports is given, but that is as good as it gets pretty much. We are, we've always said it, we are the worst generation. And almost any other time, when the Red Sox broke the curse, Jared, what was the storyline, right? It was always about your grandma and your grandpa

who were trying to hold on for dear life before they could fucking win. And when the Cubs broke their curse, what did people do? They went to the fucking cemetery to sit with their dead parents because they don't have hologram money, and they had to celebrate with their dead, in the dirt, 100-year-old. All of that, it's different for the Mets because those people in our lives, our parents and our grandparents, they actually got to experience some of the fun. They got the Miracle Mets in 69.

They've got the best team, the bad guys from 86. We are the one generation at our age who never experienced it or never remembered it. And so it's not about grandma and grandpa dead in the dirt. It's about us and our ability to now continue on as a baseball fan and our ability to pass it on to the next generation because i said it how many times on these very airwaves and on you and we gotta believe and everywhere i've ever recorded i was genuinely at the end of my rope i could not do it anymore and i was not i was never gonna stop watching but i truly was gonna be like there's really no point

to do this anymore it's like you know even even someone like the haters will will make fun of me being like oh let me guess like you're gonna do a podcast complaining about the Mets yeah I get it there's not much else to say and I truly had actually made the decision to not to not give it to Keegan and not give it to Shea I really was not going to like put that stank on them. And now it's all gone. As a matter of fact, you know what it's like? We're going to call up, you know, little Susie and little Stevie from class and they can come on down and join the bandwagon.

There are there's there's a couple of kids in in Shay's class with all these fucking bougie names. Clem, there's two Addisons in her class. There's there's all these little bougie suburbs kids who I'm like, come on and be a Mets fan. Come on over to my house with Shea and Keegan and we'll put it on the big screen. And you can enjoy real baseball. Because you know what? You're not going to get it from the Yankees.

You're not winning anytime soon with the Yankees. Give me a fucking break. You want to get some real baseball in New York City now? You come on over to Clem's house. You come on over to Uncle Kev's house. and you watch Steve Cohen and the New York Mets. The next generation can rest easy and enjoy life, and it's something that we never thought was going to happen. It's something that I was resigned to just – I was going to die this way. I was going to die miserable, and now it all changes because of one man, Stephen A. Cohen.

I don't really care at this point about profiting off of your likenesses, but I'm going to make a shirt where it's like Steve Cohen is in the middle and he's holding Clem's hand and Kevin's hand, and they're just like frolicking together through like a meadow. And I don't even care if it's a one of one. Like, I just want to wear that shirt. Like I want that shirt. You know what? Yeah. If you, if you're friends of ours, if you're followers of ours, you've been listening to us rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, you know, it clements, it's me. It's you. It's for anyone who suffered through

Bernie Madoff. It's for anyone who suffered through spinal's you. It's for anyone who suffered through Bernie Madoff. It's for anyone who suffered through spinal stenosis. It's for anybody who suffered through Ball 4 Kenny Rogers. It's for anybody who suffered through Armando Benitez, Braden Looper, Dwaner Sanchez in a car wreck, Frankie Rodriguez, J.J. Putz, now fucking Edwin Diaz. It's the bullpen misery. All of those, the Aaron Heilmans.

It's for anybody who fucking suffered through Scott Spezio and Yadier Molina. It's for anybody who lost the Subway Series when they were 15 years old and had to go to school the next day and have Goombas make fun of you saying that they were going to fuck your girlfriend in the ass. Yeah, that's right. That happened? Yeah, that happened. Oh, Jesus.

Gary Bocciolari once told me, I wore my Mets gear to school the day after the Yankees clinched, and I was like, fuck it, I'm going down with the ship, and I wore all Mets gear head to toe, and this guy Gary Bocciolari told me he was going to fuck my girlfriend in the ass because of it. Really? No, I hope not. I mean, maybe.

I don't know. She got around. But all I know is I had to go to school as the social pariah my whole life. And it's for anybody who suffered through Vince Coleman throwing firecrackers at little girls' faces. It's for anybody who watched Brett Saberhagen shoot the press in the face with bleach. It's for the worst team that money could buy.

If you go through the bracket of 64 miserable Mets moments that me and Clem broke down, this one is for everybody who lived through that. Steve Cohen is here. Kevin, we can't even enjoy a 4th of July weekend. Forget about what the Mets do to us, which they probably lose like a heartbreaker. That's Bobby Bonilla Day right around then, right? And then we get all the jokes

that everyone's laughing at Darren Revelle. You're Darren Revelle is the guy that everyone laughs at us. So that is all gone. You know what I would do? I'm just going to buy out

Bobby straight. You know what I would do? No, you know what I would do? If I was Steve Cohen, Clem, do you know what I would do? I would give Bobby Bonilla a fucking raise on on Bobby Bonilla Day.

He gets five million a year now. Why? Because I can. That's why. Oh, you think it's a big joke that we pay this guy a fucking raise on on bobby bonilla day he gets five million a year now why because i can that's why oh you think it's a big joke that we pay this guy one million dollars a year to do nothing how about we give him five because i don't give a fuck because i'm made of money you dumb motherfuckers that's what people are not realizing clem i see you fighting the good fight all the time and by the way if you're a mets fan you want to call up and rejoice with us that's another great shirt 857-8665 when Clem just like a blue shirt with like orange text that says give Bobby Bonilla a raise a raise you know what Welker get on it

give Bobby Bonilla a raise well I wear that like Steve Cohen yes dude that's what that's what we should be doing because Clem always fights the good fight. He always calls out these dumb fucking assholes who they say to us, you know, just because your owner is rich doesn't mean you're going to win. And they point out all these other owners in all professional sports that have billions and don't win. Two things. First of all, they don't have $14 billion, okay? There's plenty of guys who have, like, chump change compared to Steve Cohen. Second of all, it's not that Steve Cohen's rich.

It's that Steve Cohen doesn't lose. He doesn't lose in the stock market. He doesn't lose in the courtroom. He doesn't lose in the press, in the tabloids. He doesn't even say anything. You had Jessica Ramos throwing fucking rocks at the throne. You had Jeff Wilpon start a smear campaign. You've got this fucking desperate A-Rod who is just trying anything

he can to hold on to his sinking ship. And Steve Cohen just laughs the whole time. He never responds. He never reacts. And he just wins. So it's not that he's rich. It's that he's dominant. It's that he is an assassin.

He revolutionized wall street he he cheated the system beat the system beat the case and he's still making money he's got a billion dollars worth of art casey smith billion a billion with a b 141 million dollar pointing man a fire shark and formaldehyde, people. You're not a loser. You don't have losing products. You don't build a team that doesn't win if you have a shark in formaldehyde. That just doesn't happen. So it's not that he's rich.

It's about who he is and how he operates. And he's smart and he's ruthless and he's a winner and he's cocky and he's a silent assassin who's going to build a winner from the inside out. The dynasty cometh. Is there going to be a shark at Citi Field? There should absolutely be. Right next to the apple, a fucking shark should come out when you hit a home run, too. I want the pointing man.

I want the shark. I want all the art. I want it all. He's inevitable. I'm happy for you. want it all he's inevitable i think i think what they should do like if it would be very funny how you know like the the marlins had the home run like the fish wheel thing every time someone hit a home run yes if if the mets every home game instead of the apple coming out if they just had a fucking cannon that shot money into the ground.

Everyone just grabbing it as it rains down here. I mean, how many minor league teams do that? Like, minor league teams do, like, the, oh, a helicopter, like, a promotion where a helicopter flies over and drops money. Do they? Oh, yeah. Oh, minor league teams are crazy. They definitely need to do it. I mean, he needs to do it with, like, $1,000 bills.

Like, some fucking currency that we didn't even know. Yeah, gold bars. We're dropping gold bullion from the sky. People getting concussions. The phone lines are lit up, Clem. So we're going to talk to our people, okay? Let's start here with Pat from New York who says he has some complaints about Pete Alonzo. What's up, Pat?

What's up, KFC? It doesn't matter what your complaints about Pete Alonzo are! We're not doing complaints right now, Pat! We are not doing complaints. We are celebrating. There is no complaint about Pete Alonzo. On an off year, he still was going to hit 40 fucking home runs. Give me a goddamn break.

Fuck you, Pat, trying to rain on this goddamn parade. Hell no. Not on a Friday. Not on a motherfucking Friday. Let's go to Steve in New York. Maybe it's Cohen. Who knows? Maybe it's Steve Cohen on the line.

I just gave him a hand. I said goodbye. I said we are not doing complaints today. Goodbye. I'm calling from Jeff Wilpon's asshole. What do we got, Steve? How are you celebrating your independence day? I'm finally talking now.

I was silent before, but now it's time to shit on everyone. Fuck you, A-Rod. Fuck you, de Blasio. Fuck you, all of you. It's our town now. Let's fucking go, Mets. I love the fact, Steve. I love the fact, you know, a lot of people were like Steve.

They kept their mouths shut and they waited until it was official. I mean, me and Clem, we learned our lesson the first time, A lot of people were like Steve. They kept their mouth shut and they waited until it was official. I mean, me and Clem, we learned our lesson the first time throwing a fucking parade to only have it all fall apart. But my favorite part of this whole thing, Clem, has been the – I don't know about you. How confident were you that the deal was going to get done? Because I was 100% confident once the second time came around. All of these false alarms alarms never once was i afraid so this day is just to me this is a formality and it's official but if you were if you were bracing and holding your tongue waiting for it to be official official this is a big day for you

but i never i know jeff wilpon had no shot a rod had no shot de blasio has no shot these guys are all fucking clowns compared to Steve. So I've been ready for this. Were you actually ever worried at any point? No, I wasn't. Like, once you take a step back, because A-Rod's stuff was like, when he was betting, it was one thing. But once you could just sense it was like, this was the old A-Rod. Oh, I swear to God, I never did steroids.

Oh, I did them, by the way. I'm at Purple Lips, and I'm interviewing with Peter Damage, and I'm taking pictures in front of mirrors. Once I realized we had Bumbling Idiot A-Rod instead of, like, cool anti-villain A-Rod who just hits bombs and fucks the Yankees up the ass, I was like, oh, okay, that's the guy we're dealing with. And then Mayor de Blasio is the only guy. He's like, you can't, like, when you're fighting a fool, people from the distance can't tell who it was who.

I didn't know what the fuck he was going to do. Breaking news, de Blasio just tweeted out. All good. He's been approved. Check mark. You fucking lost, Alex. Wait, wait, wait. De Blasio said that too? De Blasio bent the knee. De Blasio.

There's two things. Either you bend the knee or your head goes on a spike. De Blasio. Wow, look at that. You're right. This is from NYC Mayor. The New York City Law Department has completed its legal review of the proposed sale of the Mets. New York City has no objections, and the Mets can now proceed with the transaction.

You little, you dumb, doofus ogre. And I mean, like, why, why even, why did he even do this? Why would, like, if this was all on the same day, if he was going to say, you know what, we're all good, why was there ever a leak or an article or a complaint or anything at all if he planned on bending the knee like a little bitch the whole time? It's your shirt, Kev. He didn't want any smoke. I guess so.

He was running scared, Zaha. He was running scared from the clown shirt. I mean, seriously, though, why? You know, all the reports were like publicly he's saying it's fine, but behind closed doors he's going hard at them, only to say it on the same goddamn day never mind we're all good the review no fucking kidding the proposed review is fine there was never anything there was never any drama you dumb fucks no it's because

it's because this was the reports that were saying i think exactly i just murdered a rod into the blasio and they said by doing that and kind of like putting one last potential snag, they were hoping the owners today would vote against De Blasio or maybe change some minds. That's what people were saying. And because of that, you know, and then once the sale went through, it's like, all right, I'm not going to keep pissing off a guy who's a billionaire and the owner of the Mets,

even if I'm like the most hated guy in New York in like 20 years. I guess so. I mean, that's crazy. You know who wins in the end? Dave Portwood York in like 20 years. I guess so. I mean, that's crazy to me. You know who wins in the end? Dave Portwood because he sold a shitload of clowns. Amen, bro. It's so true. The deal with the devil.

Even when Dave's consortium that he would have been a part of doesn't win, he still gets money. Let's go to Aaron from New York. He's excited about the Mets. What's up, Aaron? Going on KFC, this is the greatest day in Mets history, and that's not an exaggeration. Yo, it really isn't. I know that's sad.

A lot of people are saying how sad it is, and it's like, I know. I'm not bragging. I'm not saying you should be jealous. I'm just happy and excited. It's truly the best day in Mets history. I love how happy you are. The best day in Mets history. It's just an overplay. I love how happy you are.

The best day in Mets history happened in the offseason. But whatever, bro. It's true. Many more best days to come. And we're going to sign players. We're going to have money. We're not going to be a broke Tampa Bay model that everybody thought we were going to be. And we're going to go spend all the money on RealMoto.

Give me the guy from... We'll get him all. Let's get him all. And let me tell you something. So spend all the money on RealMoto. Give me the guy from – we'll get them all. Let's get them all. Let's get them all. Every fucking buddy. And let me tell you something. We have a pretty good core to start. Jared, actually, maybe you can answer this question because my esteemed colleague, Clem, also does a great job of always chronicling and outlining the teams who were big market teams,

who were quote-unquote cursed or weren't winning, and then went through an ownership change and immediately won. And it happened with the Red Sox. Clem, they sold in 2002, I want to say, and then by, you know, 03 is the ALCS, 04 is the World Series. The Dodgers sold, and then they didn't win right away, but they went to the playoffs nine straight times now with three World Series appearances and won one of them. Now, is there a chance...

And the Cubs. Right, right, right. And the Cubs, they sold in what? Was it 15, 14, and then they won in 15? I think it was like one or two years, right? They won in 16. No, I think it was in nine. Oh, was it? Alright. So they had a little bit of a build, but they sell, they get They won in 16. No, it was in 09. Oh, was it? Alright, so they had a little bit of a build, but so they sell, they get

Epstein. 12, and then they won in 16. So, maybe not so much with the Cubs, but both cases with the Dodgers and the Red Sox, it seems like those franchises sold when they had a lot in place. Is that, like, coincidence?

Or is that, like, where the willpons kind of like you know what this this team is good and young and they have a strong core and so now's the time we can actually get like a good price for them or was is it just like we we decided to sell and it just happens to be that there's a good young core in place already no i mean like if you look at those teams individually uh like part of that, like the Cubs, for example, like you have a new ownership group and they're like, we need to fucking, we need to change. Like if we're going to buy this team. Yeah.

Like we need to bring in someone that knows what the fuck they're doing. And like Steve Cohen. But with the Red Sox, though, the Sox and the Cubs didn't. The Sox and the Dodgers really were just like ready to rock. No, the Red Sox. Ix, the owners came in in 2002, and then that was the year that Theo Epstein was the behind the scenes. That was the year Mike Port was the general manager, but really it was Theo Epstein that was the GM behind the scenes.

They just didn't want to announce that they had a 26-year-old general manager. Right, right, right. So they were like, all right, yeah, Mike Port is our GM, and he really wasn't. the scenes they just didn't want to like announce that they had a 26 year old general manager right right so they were like all right yeah mike port is our gm and like he really wasn't and then the next year is when they announced that he's the gm because uh they felt comfortable after the interim year and then from a player but from a player point of view aside from the nomar deal which i know admittedly is a big deal they they had everybody kind of in place, right? This guy by the name of David Ortiz, they didn't have – I mean, it was basically Nomar, Manny, and Pedro were all Dan Duquette guys,

but Theo went out and got Bill Miller. That 0-4 doesn't happen without Bill Miller. He got Dave Roberts, Orlando Cabrera. This is all my roundabout way of saying, though, that, like, they've – did you see the stat, Clem? I showed it to Clem. Did you see the stat about the Mets' OPS this year? What about it?

They were – they had, like, the sixth highest OPS as a team, like, ever or something absurd. And it was – my DMs. Like in Mets history, you mean? No. The quote, the tweet, I'm going to have to dig it up during our break in a few minutes because I – Clem, did I ever end up texting that to you or did I just read it to you over the phone?

No, you read it to me. It was like the guy describing it was like, the Mets not making the playoffs this year. Like, I can't even begin to describe to you the anomaly. I got it here if you want it. Yeah, let her read it. Yeah, let her read it. Alex Spire, depth of the Dodgers lineup is amazing.

Teams that had a 121 OPS plus this year and the sixth best in modern history. That's the Dodgers. The only team's better than this year's Dod sixth best in modern history that's the dodgers the only team's better than this year's dodgers and ops plus 1927 yankees 1930 yankees 31 yankees 2017 astros who knew what was coming every pitch and the 2020 new york mets i mean how crazy is that jared the 2020 mets the murderers row yankees and the cheating astros are the only teams in history to achieve this number and the Mets didn't make the playoffs

in a year where everyone makes the playoffs. It's insane. It is. That's how good of a core and how good of an offense they already have. The only teams that compare. And Alonzo had a down year. And he was bad this year. Can you imagine what's going to happen when you get some energy

and a new owner and a couple more players and Alonzo bounces back? Hopefully you find a place for Dom Smith or you get a haul back for him. If you already had an offense that was performing sixth best in history by certain metrics, you're ready to cook, man. It's not like they're coming in with the cupboards empty and they've got to rebuild. They're ready to fucking rock. Let me ask both of you guys this question because I do think that it matters. When you bring in a new ownership, you need an environment facelift.

You need to be like, hey, it's a new era. It's more than just what the roster looks like. When the Cubs have these new owners, the Ricketts will come in there and it's a new era. It's more than just what the roster looks like. When the Cubs have these new owners, the Ricketts will come in there and it's like, all right, we're going to put up a new video board and we're going to redo the bleachers. Fenway Park, it's like, hey, year two that they were there, we're going to put fucking seats on the Green Monster.

Yeah, let's get that net down. They basically gave Fenway Park an entire facelift. You have a new ballpark. City Field doesn't an entire facelift. Like, you have a new ballpark. Like, Citi Field doesn't need a facelift, but it needs something to signify that this is a new era. I don't know if Steve can do it, because I think the fucking Weasel Wilpons still have control of it. But the one problem physically with Citi Field and Flushing and the Mets

is the surrounding area, the chop shops and the barren wasteland that is the surrounding area of Citi Field and Flushing and the Mets is the surrounding area. The chop shops and the barren wasteland that is the surrounding area of Citi Field. The day that, and I don't know, this is probably not something he can do immediately. It's probably something he needs to, like, finish the fucking job. Steve Cohen needs to finish the job with SNY and get rid of the Wilpons. And he needs to finish the job and get rid of them from owning the land around them. The day that Citi Field can be like a Wrigleyville where you can go and there's bars and restaurants and hotels and a casino and this and that, that will be the day you can take a boat over to the marina.

I once did a booze cruise that picked you up in Manhattan and the Creedence Clearwater Revival Revival was playing. CCRR. Unbelievable cover band and you got booze on the boat and then a part at the marina

and you walked and you had your seat. It was awesome. And the day that you can do more shit like that in a cool area where it's like fun to go to the game,

that's when you get bandwagon fans. That's when you get pink cats and you get money and you become cool and you become a social you know, force.

And so that would be the one thing I think they need to do. But that's kind of down the road. Clem, what's something you think, like, immediately, year one, year two, they can do to make the Mets cool and not, like, the loser franchise? Well, I mean, I think there's a couple little things probably in the ballpark. Because, again, when they made this ballpark, it was like, oh, this is just like a Mets field. Oh, that's awesome.

We're the New York Mets. We're not the Dodgers. They play in Los Angeles now. You fucking assholes. So they're ass oh, this is just like a Mets field. Oh, that's awesome. We're the New York Mets. We're not the Dodgers. They play in Los Angeles. You fucking assholes. So they're assholes. He'll probably do a couple things. It's such a slam dunk. It's such an easy thing.

The fact that Wilpon's gave it to him as a layup is just the right thing. You just got to build a Tom Seaver statue, and you got to build it six times bigger than the Wilpons were going to bring it. Huge. People don't know this who are casual, like, you don't follow the Mets. Tom Seaver, he had dementia. He retired from public life. After he retired from public life, like the next day,

the LePon's like, oh, we're going to build a statue for you now. And then after he died, the statue was going to come out. And it's like, you guys are doing this all wrong. The guy was alive for years, for, you know, 60 something years or whatever it was. And they just never acknowledged the greatest player in history. He takes care of Tom Seaver, which he will. It sounds like he loved him growing up. And it's like, all right, that is Steve's first stamp on the franchise.

I would do a Tom Seaver statue, and I would bring David Wright in as some fucking something to keep the fans happy because what I did right now is I just brought in somebody to keep the fans happy right now. Rico fucking Bosco joins the program. Hello, Rico. This day is for you. This day is for your father. Hit your mic on.

This day is for you. It's for your father. It's for everybody in Staten Island who's rooting for the fucking Mets. Which is a small majority. Very small. Very small. Let me see Rico. Zoom out so I can see Rico.

Come closer so the rocket can see your beautiful face and that flow, that head of hair. Today is for everybody who suffered, for everybody who never thought it would happen, for everybody who put up with Yankee fans. It's official, right? Yeah, it's official, official. Even that punk de Blasio just tweeted and bent the knee. He said it's official. He called off the dogs.

He's not going to try to do it. It really is remarkable. It really is. The wind-up to that, Rico, is stunning it really is the wind up to that but like even it's one of those things where it's like you just never thought like that comes about then they're going to say he can't do this now the difficult part for me is he does have a tough background right so like i've been dancing on the steinbrunner dude this is felon thing and my guy is never convicted never never even charged. Never even charged Rico. He beat the kid.

Listen, was there some insider trading? Perhaps. Did eight people from Stephen A. Cohen's firm get either charged, arrested, or slapped on the wrist for insider trading? Sure. Did Stephen Cohen? No. That's all that matters, bro. Didn't happen.

Sorry. Sorry. I don't know what you're talking about. There's no evidence. There's no nothing. You tell me me did he go to jail no is he a felon no was he charged no he went home rico i compared it to the college football coaches that don't know where these five-star recruits come from they just know that they're there like oh maybe a booster maybe a booster gave him money but maybe nick saban doesn't know that. Maybe we beat our earnings by like 7,000%. I don't know. The track that just showed up on the lawn.

Listen, and you know what? The guy's a winner. He does what it takes to win. That's the kind of guy I want. It's dedication. Did you talk to your father today? Not yet. You said a Seaver statue. Well, Jared said, not only do you need to

like, he said, not only do you need to, like, he said, not only do you need, like, a new old roster and everything, but you need something, like he said, the Red Sox came in and put seats on the monster. And the Cubs came in and built up Wrigleyville and the new video board. You need something physical and tangible to usher in the new era. And Clem said, just do the fucking Tom Seaver statue. Seaver statue does not go over in the Bosco house. Oh, Mr. Bosco's not a fan of Tom Seaver?

I told this story on the Yak, I'm pretty sure. Or with Chicago Radio with Carl one day. He was doing it late when he was here. Long story short, my dad had tickets to the game when he was like eight years old. They had tickets in the Diamond Club to eat the lunch, and the door to the locker room is right when you come down from the Diamond Club. After the game, Seaver gets shelled. The door to the locker room is open. There's no security guard there Club. After the game, Siva gets shelled. The door to the locker room is open.

There's no security guard there. My dad goes in for like eight, nine. Goes in to look in the locker room and gets met. As he's looking in the locker room, somebody is now standing over him. He looks up and he goes, what are you doing here, you little bastard? He looks up. It's Siva. So Siva's dead.

Siva's dead to us. We ain't building no Siva statues. I'd build a Piazza statue. Give me right now, give me a Siva, Piazza, and David Wright statue and fucking make the fans happy and let's have our own little monument park. I know you're a fan, obviously. Who's number one on your list? Like number one all-time best?

Go get. Who do we go get? Real – I want them to go try to make a move to either trade for or sign or make – I need like a Lindor or an Arenado. Like you can go get me like Real Muto at a reasonable price. People talk about Real Muto getting $200 million. I don't want that. And you want to go get me George Springer. Go get some players, sure.

But we need a fucking franchise changer, a cornerstone. If you can go get Arenado and say, listen, get the fuck – you got to get the fuck out of Colorado. Come over here. That's the move. Jared, who should we go after? I mean, I think Lindor. Lindor's going to line up. I mean, it's going to. If you were able to trade for and then sign,

kind of like what the Dodgers did with Mookie, and if you did that with Lindor, you're making a statement. Yeah, let's fucking go. And I hate to say it because I love some of these guys, but they've got a few guys who don't have a position for them who are good players. I've been saying that for a little while, too. Trade all the quarters and the spare change for a dollar bill. Dominic Smith, I know he had a great

year. Him, J.D. Get a little bit of it. There's two first basemen. You can move either of them. I'm just saying. You'd be selling low on Alonzo. Not that low, buddy.

Not that low. I think he's embracing the role of leader. I mean, of course it's low because he's not hitting 50-3 home runs. You don't want to get rid of Alonzo. I don't want to do anything, but I'm saying when – That's how crazy and – You don't want that. Dom Smith, the year he had.

Right. But he's not a leader. Pete Alonzo is a fucking leader. Yeah, buys everybody the cleats. He embraces the city. Yes, no doubt. Have you been to Citi Field? That's different is a fucking leader. Buys everybody the cleats. He embraces the city. Yes, no doubt. That's different than being a leader. I think he's just buying a longer leash.

Is that sure it's a pro-peddy? Would you shut the fuck up for a second, Rico? There's a little bit of pandering involved there, I think. Like I said earlier to Pat on the line, we're not going to do anything anti today. But there's more to being a leader than buying some cleats. You know, I just think that there actually have been some signs at times. Kevin, the way he carries himself, though. Are you mad at him?

Did he say something to you or did he not say something to you? Yeah, no, that's kind of part of it, though. Like, he picks, like, he – we're not doing negative anything today. No negative. What did he say to you? We mixed it up. Remember when he – remember when there was that rain delay and he, like, fought to have the game played and then Edwin Diaz gave up the home run and they lost?

Yeah. So I tweeted. I was like, you know, this is the first time I'm ever mad at Pete. And I was kind of just joking. And he was like, you're not a real – like, he came at me during – I think, like, right after the game. Like, he was, like, in the clubhouse. And I was like, bro. Well, I respect that.

I don't actually. I mean, it's a Rico move, too. Yeah. in the clubhouse. And I was like, bro. I respect that. I don't actually. I mean, I mean, it's a Rico move too. Yeah. Something. Something. The body's not even cold yet. Yeah.

I, uh, there was that. And then like he had some, remember that fat picture of him during spring training? Yes. He like asked, he like yelled at the Mets and asked them to remove that from the internet. Just some weird shit that I was like, I don't know. A little bit of Noah in him. All I'm saying is between JD Davis and Alonzo and Dom Smith and Brandon Nemo and, and, and, and, and, there's a lot of guys that are valuable, who are young, who you could move right now for a guy like Lindor.

So go make it fucking happen. Let's hit a break real quick. Let me just say this too for Kevin. Yeah, go ahead. Let me just say this. The other first base you'd be keeping has you blocked on Twitter. Dom Smith has you blocked. He's like the nicest guy in the world.

Dom Smith's blocking me. Pete Alonzo yells at me. There's a running theme here. Is this Pat White? No, this is Clem. Oh. Clem's on the line. We're going to come back and we'll take some more Metz calls.

We'll be back after the break. Everybody's coming down to meet the M-E-T-S. Let's go. Guys, what are the two worst things basically in the world that can happen to you?

I can't even say I'm back in the New York groove because I'm just like for the first time in the New York groove. I don't know what's going to happen, folks. I don't know who I'm going to be. I don't know what kind of person I'm going to be. If 2015 is any indication,

when I was mopping the floor with Big Cat and the Cubs during the NLCS, I was a fucking asshole, and I was just loving every second of being successful. So if there's sustained success, I feel like people are going to hate me. Clem, I feel like you'll be much more of a gracious winner. I don't think I have that in me. Kev, I've been in the New York groove before at the Giants a couple times. The New York groove.

I've never experienced anything better than the New York groove. Boston with Jared. These guys are grooving the word with Dave experience but we've said it you said it earlier no the negativity is gone

KFC like Jets season you can bring Jets KFC out but Mets KFC you owe at least five years to this rich motherfucker to shut up

don't cry foul and I hate to bring it up live on radio you owe us a bet. I got to come myself and jump off a bridge. I got to come myself and jump off a bridge. I just don't know how to physically, logistically pull this off,

but I got to come and jump. Do I need to explain to you how to do either of those things? You can do a little visual. You can go and do it on the computer. I can show you how you cum yourself and how you jump over the bridge. I got to find a bridge that I won't, you know, injure myself, and I got to find a way to cum where I don't, like, go to jail. That's a great point. There's so many different ways that you could end up doing that, Kevin.

Like, cumming is not the hard part. Well, I mean, if you guys take my word on it, I can do it, but like, if I'm on camera, I don't want to fucking... Nope, nope. I want it tested, actually. I want to make sure that it's authentic semen. Imagine if there was just a video,

like, maybe I'll start an OnlyFans, just for, I'll have one video on OnlyFans, and it's just me masturbating and jumping off a bridge. Yeah. But what bridge can you do that where you would publicly be able to do it? I know. I've got to find a small bridge that's technically a bridge. But don't do it in a park, because then if you get caught, you're— That's what I mean.

That's what I'm saying. I mean, Jesus Christ. Clem, you had to do that to me, huh? You had to bring that up today. That's why you have to set up the hedge. Some things, Clem. Some things. Yeah.

I actually thought about that. If there was something at the bottom of Shea Bridge that I could jump into, like one of those pits of foam blocks that you have at gymnastics places or something like that, I'd love to jump off of Shea Bridge, but I can't come at the stadium. Well, you also – yeah, no gymnastics places either, Kevin. I can't come. I mean, there's only one place you can come,

and it's in the comfort of your own home or car. What if you came in your car? Jump off a drive off a bridge? Yeah. Let's get back to some calls of happiness. Let's go to Mike from New Jersey. What's up, Mike? Hello?

Hello? What's up, Mike? Oh, my God. I broke down crying when I heard the news. Now, where were you at? Were you actually, like, again, to me this was a formality. I knew this was going to happen. It was just a matter of waiting.

Did you actually think that there was a chance we were not going to get approved? Is this a really big deal for you today, or are you happy that it's official? Once I knew the clown de Blasio couldn't do shit, nothing that could hold us back. Nope, nothing. And Jets fan fan half of my life is happy now I will tell you this much Mike the Jets

are in trouble in my mind because if the Mets get really good I don't see myself just I've always wondered this I never understood when you know the Red Sox were like the lovable losers, but the Pats had become like a dynasty in a way.

They both kind of coincided, but it felt to me like there was always a little bit of time where Red Sox fans had one persona, and then they flipped the calendar and become a different type of person. If I've got this swagger from march through september and then every sunday i've got to go back to being a loser i'll tell you real fucking quick right now and i don't have a problem admitting it i will leave the jets in my rearview mirror so fucking fast if i've got a baseball dynasty and then i but but during the the winter i've got to be a loser again. Fucking see you later, New York Jets.

I don't give a shit. Clem, as a gypsy, you kind of do it, where it's like right now you're in the same boat as me, probably even a worse boat because the Giants have been terrible. But when you were winning Super Bowls and beating the Patriots, you were kind of cocky and had the swagger, but then would come be a loser with me with the Mets. How does that work?

I never understand that. You gypsies make me so confused. I mean, it's the only thing that's keeping me from wanting to jump off a bridge. Like, jumping off a bridge has never come into my mind because the Giants usually pull me out of the fucking suck for a little bit and then throw me right back in. But, Clem, you guys have been bad for, like, five years now. It's been a long time. Yeah, but it's like five.

But they made the playoffs in 16. Making the playoffs means something. And then, I'm telling you, when you beat a team that's 18-0 in a crazy Super Bowl, that kind of goes a long way. Yeah, you get along. Yes. Four years later. All the Giants fans are crying on Twitter.

I'm like, guys, no one feels bad for you. No, I'm not going to say I feel bad for you, but when you have statistically been worse than the Cleveland Browns over the last, like, what is it, three or four seasons, they're, like, actually the most losing, the losingest franchise in the league, you know, where do you fuckers get off still acting like you're not, you know, in the bottom of the barrel with the Jets? Who is that? What are you talking to me for? What am I doing? I'm just here trying to believe in Daniel Jones. I'm fucking up the Danwag and I'm all by my fucking self at this point.

Everyone's laughing. I'm running laps around the house like an asshole. Yeah, you literally are running laps around the house. I'm not mad at you. I am just sometimes, you know, Rangers fans do it as well. They do it to the Islanders fans, and I'm not obviously as connected in hockey, where it's like, yo, you guys stink also. Like, what the fuck are

you talking about? And with the Giants, they're like, oh, same old Jets. I'm like, well fellas, you lost more games than the goddamn Browns, and the Browns once went 0-16 during this time period. So, uh, but whatever. You know what? Like I said, no negativity today.

It's a happy day. No negatives. No negatives. And Ethan is down in Maryland. He says he's wet for Steve Cohen. Oh, God. What's up, Ethan? Yeah, I was in history class, and all of a sudden I started leaking out of holes I didn't know I had.

It's the greatest day of all time to be a medicine man. Jesus Christ, Ethan. Oh, my God. Clem, did you listen to Carton yesterday, Clem? No, I missed it. Okay, so Craig Carton made his return yesterday, and it was a great hour of radio. He did an hour solo.

The first 20 minutes, he was just, like, very gracious, and he apologized to who he needed to apologize to, and he told some really heartfelt stories. And then he opened it up for calls and this guy is like, Craigie, I'm so happy to have you back on the air. I'm from Newark. I'm a pretty tough guy. I got a lot of like, you know, he's like, I got a lot of pride, but listen, I would wash your skid marked underwear for you, Craig. And Craig was like, okay, that's enough. Like He hung up on him immediately and was like, thank you for the support, but Jesus Christ, we don't need

to be doing that. Ethan, I'm happy to. We don't need to be doing, I was leaking out of holes, okay? That he didn't know he had. We're all set on that front. I mean, if you want to paint walls, okay. Leaking holes, I don't know. Listen, I have lines. I have certain lines that I draw, and the leaking bothered me, okay?

Especially a young kid in class. I don't know. That's Dave's territory, talking to young kids about sex. I don't want. Listen, I have lines. I have certain lines that I draw, and the leaking bothered me, okay? Especially a young kid in class. I don't know. That's Dave's territory, talking to young kids about sex. I don't want to do that. Did you hear his latest podcast? His latest podcast. Did you just say you have an absurd amount of semen? Yeah, it was kind of like that postseason clarity where it's like during the playoffs,

it's like everything is super tense, and you can't quite focus. And then when the offseason hits, it's like, these pipes are fucking... They couldn't be cleaner. They are clean as a whistle, bro. So your dad, Dave Portnoy, released a new episode of his TikTok show with Josh Richards. And 45-year-old man Dave Portnoy was on with his 18-year-old co-host who brought his 18-year-old ex-girlfriend on. I hope they're all 18 because Dave was like, so you guys are friends with benefits. And Josh was like, no, no, no.

And Nessa's like, no, no, no, we're not. And Dave's like, yes, you are. I can see it. I can read your body language. And they're like, no, seriously, we're just friends. And listen, Dave's probably not wrong, but he's a's a 45 year old man talking to two children basically being like admit that you're having sex tell me you're fucking tell me right now i know that you're banging i was like what is happening yesterday before we shot the nfl show we were asking him

about that and he was like yeah i mean they're clearly boyfriend and girlfriend they just won't admit it i was like dave boyfriend he's like he's like they just won't admit it. Dave, boyfriend and girlfriend? He's like, they just won't admit it, but they're definitely boyfriend and girlfriend. I was like, you are 43, Dave. Boyfriend, girlfriend. They're totally boyfriend and girlfriend. He's not wrong.

But to be saying it is like... Let's go to Paul in Queens talking about that ogre de Blasio. What's up, Paul? What an absolute asshole to be, you know, not ready, ready being the most hated man in New York City. It might be in a total dick to think that he had the balls to get involved in this. I mean, and then not even put up a fight, Paul. If he had like a plan, he was always going to lose.

But I thought he was going to once I saw that article that was was like privately he's talking about how he wants to take them down. I was like, all right, like I don't think you're going to win, but let's see what you got to Blasio. And then 15 minutes after the owner's vote, he's like, yeah, you're all good. What the fuck was that about? What are you doing? You ever meet people that just have like a stream of consciousness thought and he's just like, oh, well, you know what? This seems like a good idea. I'll get's just like, oh, well, you know what? This seems like a good idea.

I'll get involved. No, I guess so. Yeah. He's a moron. And you know what? It's a new day. Mets fans. We are on the way. I'm so excited.

I'm so happy. I'm not leaking out of every hole like that last guy, but I am so gross. Cannot wait. I'm so excited. It's so gross. Cannot wait. I'm so excited. It's a brand new day. We're on the road to recovery. Let's go Mets. Let's fucking go.

L-F-G-M. Liam from Long Island. What's up, babe? Kevin, I don't even know where to begin. I don't even know where to begin. I'm young. I'm young. I was going to say, let's start from the beginning.

How old are you? I am 16 years old. to begin. I'm young. I'm young. Let's start from the beginning. How old are you? I am 16 years old. Oh, you're a pup. You're a babe. You sound much older than that. So you were born in 2004. Don't give Casey any ideas. That's illegal.

Casey will take you out on a date right now, Liam. It's illegal. Well, that's not. You've done it before. I have not done that before. You have broken the law before. Casey, I'm an A&M fan. Oh, even better.

Honestly, I'm an A&M fan. Slide in those DMs. Slide in those DMs. Don't even. Slide in my DM. I'll give you her number, and you can just take her out of the DMs. Two seconds ago, we were talking about how you hope that they're. I'll see you on Instagram.

I'll see you on Instagram. She is on a fucking young and rampage right now. Dave and Casey. Dave is doing it with his friends rampage right now. Legally. Dave is doing it with his friends. You can do it with Liam. It's fine. No, he's 16 years old. We're not even entertaining this.

She's like an F5 tornado just leaving a path of destruction. Jesus. Not with teenagers. Oh, my God. Liam, so you're born in 04. So you miss like the Subway series and like the Jerry Burnett's Mo Vaughn years. You're too young to remember the collapse so you just suffered through like the 2010s which was like ugly but you know nothing nothing truly remarkably bad let me tell you something you are gonna be you're

gonna lead us you're the leader of the new school because i i'm still too old i'm still too bitter i'm still too broken like clem i don't know about you but are you new school because I'm still too old. I'm still too bitter. I'm still too broken. Like, Clem, I don't know about you, but are you going to feel – like, I'm still going to be nervous as fuck these first few years. Like, the same way I'm going to be nervous every time Edwin Diaz takes the ball, I'm always still going to remember the bad times. Are you ready to just be confident all of a sudden, Clem? Kevin, we are the dog that had a bad owner,

and every time he hears, you know, he cowers in the corner. We're the rescue dogs. And the scars are inside our scars. Those aren't going away. Right, but Liam, he's a thoroughbred. He's a purebred dog who doesn't have the poison in him yet, who's just going to, like, in his formative years,

in his college years, his partying years, all of that, you're going to be experiencing parades and happiness. How old were you when you won your first one, Jared? 16. Boom! Liam is our rocket. Liam, you are our rocket. You and all your friends.

All this could be yours, Liam. Yes. All this could be yours. Everything the light touches is yours. This is your kingdom now, Liam. You got to get as cocky as the rocket and live a life of like, don't come at me unless you want to smoke.

Yeah, I mean, look, I really do. I really do appreciate how much older Mets fans, how long they've stuck around. Because look, I'm 16 years old, yet I'm still pissed off every time I hear the w word when i hear will

pond i i throw up in my mouth yeah it's something that's like even even if you didn't live it it's nature versus nurture it was just like already in your blood and already in your dna and i and i get it but now you don't have to worry about it dude not anymore right i mean look steve is here the king is here i i don't even know where to begin. But I do have to ask you a couple of questions because you've talked about the statues and everything, but let's get – he's the richest owner in Major League Baseball now. He has, you know – By far.

So much money. You can add, like, everyone else up. Yeah, three times as much money as the next guy. So, look, obviously the statues. We need the statues. But what is your stupid wish list? Because, look, they talked about putting a retractable roof on Citi Field when they were building it, but the Wilpons didn't want to spend the money. No, you're right.

Listen, I don't want to cut you off, but I want to get to a couple other calls. I'll tell you what I want. Clem, we talked about it. I want him to take Citi Field, and I want a team of helicopters to pick the stadium up off of the ground, and I want games to be played floating in the sky. Floating in the sky? I want to be the first team ever that has a floating stadium. That'd be sick.

You have a roof? You have a fancy roof? All good. We are in the motherfucking clouds. Sounds like you're on shrooms. What happens if you're late? You just miss the game? No, no, no. There'll be like an escalator, like a stairway to heaven. Or how about you could get in like a cannon and they can shoot you up into it. Yeah, I love it. I love these ideas.

That's what I'm talking about. Let's go. Who's been on the line the longest here? Let's go to Ryan in Hoboken. What you got, babe? Kev, how we doing? I'm all right, man. I have never been more happy in my entire life.

I picked up a bottle of Moet during my lunch break. I popped it off accidentally. I think I fucked up my laptop. Now it's spazzing out because I got some champagne on there. But this might be like the best day of my entire life. I'm freaking out. I cannot even process what's going on. I'm ready to cry.

I know. I know. Just let it cry. You're leaking. You can leak out of your eye holes, man. To me, if I didn't have kids, I'm obligated to say that the kids were the best day of my

life. But otherwise, if I was young or single or whatever, this would legitimately be the best thing that's ever happened to me. And I know that's sad. I know it's pathetic. And I know we got a long way to go. But for everybody who's hating and saying, like, this is, like, you know, you haven't done anything yet, this is where it starts. Let's get one or two more in real quick.

Pete from Long Island, what do you got? Hey, how's it going, KFC? Listen, as soon as the news heard, I'm sitting here at my fucking Zoom job, sitting here at a desk crying by myself. And you just think about all the embarrassment and the depression that the Wilpons have given us. And it's like I revert back to just being a fourth grader, watching the 06 Mets and Aaron Hellman giving a fucking hell run to Yadier

Molina. And all the times, all the bad, bad times being a Mets fan. And it's just like my heart's been racing ever since I found out the news. It's unreal. It is. It's actually absolutely unbelievable. And I can't get to all the calls here. I'm sorry, Clem.

I want to thank you for calling in and celebrating with us. But on a real note here on the last minute, the Mets have been the most important thing in my life outside of, of course, family and friends and work and real stuff. And it's been the most difficult thing to stick by. And as much as it's silly, it actually does matter to people like me and Jared and Casey and Clem and Zahn, real sports fans, and living in New York and working for Barstool and being, I was always behind enemy lines as a Mets fan in the Bronx, working at Barstool when Boston was on its championship dynasty run.

I was always the loser and the butt of every joke. And this at least signifies a chance. It signifies hope. And up until now, hope was always the worst thing. But hope, coupled with $14 billion. With a B. With a B. With a B.

A motherfucking B on a motherfucking Friday. Hope with $14 billion. That's a real thing. That's it for us. We'll see you guys on Monday. Until then, Steve Cohen and everybody else. Everybody except Bill de Blasio, Jeff Wilpon, and A-Rod. Stay hot.
