Six. I'm on five. It's the CCK podcast. What are we doing? Postmates? It's the CCK podcast brought to you by... What a scene this is. We need a picture of what this scene looks like currently. Too much wine. Too much wine on a Friday. It's the CCK podcast brought to you by Postmates. We had this red wine delivered to the office.

That's what Postmates can do for you. It was a Friday. It was one of those Fridays. Casey texted me before the show and she said, it's going to be one of those days. If I don't drink wine today, I actually might die. It's a little dramatic. A little bit. So we ordered some wine

Ellie is hitting on JD Martinez. She's not just hitting on him. She's propositioning him. I mean, yeah, we might as well just call it what it is. Like, she just wants to fuck him.

JD Martinez will put a hurtin' on Ellie. I don't even, see, she's like my little sister, so I can't even. She's too tiny. But the fact that she slid into his DMs with what she did, which you need to listen to the podcast because the way that it unfolds is incredible. I mean, she had no shame. None.

I mean, zero shame in the moment. The problem is. Very shortly thereafter. A lot of shame set in. And the more time that has gone by, which is normal, right? Like when you send something that you're like super risky you're like oh that was great and then the more time that goes by you're like without an answer without an answer if you don't get an answer from a risky text message

very quickly you start overthinking everything but i think immediately i'm worse i think as time goes on i kind of come back around like oh fuck it't that bad. Fuck this bitch won't reply to me. Yeah. I think after I send it, I'm happy after like five minutes of no responding or whatever the natural amount of time it is. Every text message conversation has a natural amount of time. You know, if you're if you if you know that if you're going like rapid fire and all of a sudden a couple minutes go by, it's the end of the world. If you send a text when someone's at work and you know you're not going to hear back for 20, 30 minutes and then it's like an hour

or two, then you start to freak out. In those moments, that's when I'm like, but then as time goes on, I come back around and I convince myself like, it's not me, it's her. I guess it is different too in DMs because if you can see that they haven't seen it. When it says seen and yeah, then you're fucked. Well, but then the problem

is that if you go to like the other requests, they could have actually read it and then just not answered. Right. So he might have seen her DM. I feel like anytime I send a text message that's a little bit risky and I don't get an answer, it's not even a specific time period. If I just don't get an answer when my natural brain like thinks it should, it's over with for me. Well, it's also very different when Ellie propositioning a $150 million dollar baseball player it's not like you're talking to some guy at the bar at murray hill yeah he might not respond reply at all you have to be okay with

jd martinez not replying to your dm if he doesn't want to a thousand percent the problem is is that and as you will find out when you listen to this podcast we talked to him on air about how hot she thinks he is face faceted. FaceTimed. FaceTimed. Most embarrassed I've ever seen a girl. It's not just like, oh, she decided to have some confidence and slide into a celebrity's DMs. She.

You know what I take for granted, by the way, this whole thing? This episode, Christian Yellich sits down, and we just make fun of him, and we FaceTime JD Martinez unexpectedly in the middle of the show, and these are just the things that happen now at Barstool Sports that are completely common. Yeah, like Christian walked into the studio and I realized... He was just saying

goodbye and I was like, sit down for a little bit. He and Travis were like, oh, we're going to say bye. I said, why don't you just take my seat and be on the radio? He was like, no, no, no, no, no. I don't want to kick you off. I'm like, you can kick me off the radio. Yeah, not a big deal, dude. Don't worry about it. You're the MVP. You can just remove me from the building if you want. It doesn't matter. You're allowed to kick me out of my seat. I bet he's doing

pretty well for himself, huh? Oh, yeah. He's so like mild-mannered and calm and shit. Very charming. Even pre-MVP, he was probably doing alright. Yeah. Making sex tapes and girls asking to eat their butts and shit. Now that you're the MVP. Very charming.

So those two joined the show. He walked in and everybody was just like I mean even Dave was like what the fuck? Like you know what I mean? Like the whole building was just. He tried to play. He was like yo what up? Shut up. Shut up Yellich. Shut. Just shut up. You're just mad because he hits on your mom. I'm just mad

that his teeth look like fucking piano keys. Fix your teeth dude. Get them like shaved down. They do not look like that. They're huge. Okay. There's way too many of them, and they're way too long. You're just a hater.

Yeah, I hate on people with too many teeth in their head. You hate on him because he hit on your mom. And because he has too many teeth. And because he makes too much money, and he's better than everybody on the team that you support, and blah, blah, blah. We could go on and on. Shut up, Casey.

Checkmate, Casey. Let's go. We also tried to measure the rocket to which he declined, thereby confirming he is 5'7". What a bitch move. Okay, we compared it to him throwing like you should never throw on the radar gun. It's completely different when it's something that you just cannot change. You can go out there and you can practice and you can throw harder and like the the results will vary you're as tall as

you are you can't you like the whole stretch out thing not true like you can put on some shoes with a little bit of lift if you want you are as tall as you are that's it homie he would not get measured under the uh under the advice of a midget. I was like, don't go on record. Don't go on record. And so Jared, when it came to a challenge about his height, aligned himself with a dwarf. That's all you need to know about Jared's height. And the reason this all came up was because this week was the NFL draft,

or at this point when people are listening, last week. And Jared and I don't agree about Kyler Murray and he kept calling Kyler Murray a midget. I was like Jared, I have stood next to Kyler Murray and I stand next to you every day. Kyler Murray is taller than you. And he kept calling

him midget. I was like, this is a tough look. And even if they're the same height, which they may be, I mean, Kyler Murray is not tall for the NFL obviously, but he kept calling him a may be. I mean, Kyler Murray is not tall for the NFL, obviously, but he kept calling him a midget. In real life, you're shorter than him. In real life, without your poofy hair, you're shorter than him. I mean, the other day

he looked like he was in an Al-Qaeda cave. Did you see that? He ran his fingers through his hair and he had this flat top going on. It was a dark, shadowy picture. It looked like he was kidnapped by the terrorists. He's got a flat top going. Yeah, you tweeted that, and my thought was, because remember when he talked about how he wanted that long,

who's the wrestler with the long, greasy hair? Nuff said. Yeah, he was like, I want that hair. I don't think Jared's hair will ever fall. No, it goes up. It'll just continue to get as tall as he wants it. I hope he grows it to the sky. Maybe that's his move to just look taller.

Maybe that's why he stopped doing the it works confirmed puff that shit up he had before called a buzz cut still it was pretty close yeah he had like a tight fade so i mean obviously that's giving you no leeway so now with the poofy hair he might be a little bit taller at least a little wiggle room that you can say nah well you know my hair my shoes this, the other thing. Kyler Murray's cleats are the same thing as Jared's hair. There you go. There it is. Same fucking guy.

Both midget fucks. Oh, you relax. Kyler Murray is not. You bite your tongue. You sweat. Kyler Murray. I love Kyler Murray. So hard.

I actually, I said this last night when I was watching the draft. I actually, I've always liked him as a football player, but this place has made me go so far on one direction. And it has nothing to do with the fact that EB, Eric Burghardt, his agent, also Cliff Kingsbury's agent, which while this makes sense was on the podcast with me last year, that obviously helped it. But it was because when you have a take here and anybody shames it, you've got to have a take. And so on the college football show last year, it was me versus Dave with OU and Kyler Murray. And then the more I'd watch Kyler, the more electric he looked. I was like, this is my guy.

So if he comes out and does something like heinously wrong, which I don't think he ever will, obviously I would change it. There's nothing he can do wrong right now outside of like being just a bad human. There is nothing he could say that you would say no to. No, that's not true. Yes, it is. That's not true. Yes, it is. No, it's not true.

Yes, it is. Like, are you talking about it in my personal life? You know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about. Kevin, that's not true. Tyler Murray could get Casey to do literally anything. I don't think so, Kevin. I know you don't think so. You're wrong.

I'm talking about him solely as a football player. I've been in a room with Tyler Murray. Right. You've been in a room with Tyler Murray pre-Heisman, bitch. Pre-drafted first round to both sportsler Murray. Right. You've been in a room with Kyler Murray pre-Heisman, bitch. Pre-drafted first round to both sports, bitch. Kevin. I don't... No, I just... Yeah, okay.

Okay. Good argument. You're acting like I've never been in a room with professional athletes to make that much money. Yesterday, did you see me just like, I'll do anything. You've never been in a room with a professional athlete doing what he's doing right now that you have had this take with. That might be true, but that doesn't change the outcome here.

You'll just want one more positive thing. You'll be like, Andy's great in bed. Oh, well, that would actually be the best thing of all time. Like on the college football show next year. Like, Andy fucks good, Dave. Oh, yeah. Like, Ann, Ann, you want to hear it? Okay.

Ann is 10 inches. I mean, that's just all hearsay and hypothetical here, but no. Right. So the draft, the highlight of the draft was a low light for Giants fans. Daniel Jones goes six overall when, you know, some people projected him as like a fifth round type talent. That maybe he would fall to the Patriots at the 32nd pick and that bill belichick would think oh i need somebody to back up tom brady in 2027 right and so i mean it it the reactions that it elicited was were ridiculous tommy smokes was ready to renounce the whole

franchise crying big ev also crying big ev fat bitch boy also crying i such a bitch boy. Fat bitch boy also crying. I can't call Big Ev a bitch boy. I can call Tommy a bitch boy. Big Ev started crying and he said he feels like Casey Anthony's baby in a dumpster who's alone and needs help and no one's coming. That's a tough scene. That's a tough one. And so that's the question today. What's your most irrational moment as a sports fan? Because I think comparing yourself to, I mean, I think he's a little bit mixed up in the case.

I don't think he knows the details of the case. He definitely does not know the details in the case. There was never a Casey Anthony baby in a dumpster crying for help. That baby was just dead. That baby was dead. Sad. This is so dark. So dark and that's why it's irrational. This is what sports does to you. Well not only sports. This is what Barstool

does to you because I don't even think I told you this when I came back from the wedding last weekend I realized that some of the things that I say just on a normal basis in front of other people so I would kept making jokes about like this makes me want to light myself on fire or I want to kill myself when I got food poisoning that was the worst thing ever I was driving to the airport and the guy that was driving me I was like hey it'd be okay if you just ran this car off into this the media that's such a proactive thing to say to someone. Excuse me, driver. You can drive off.

And I know him, and I haven't seen him in years. And we were going to the airport, and planes were flying over us. I was like, are you okay if that plane literally dove into this car right now and killed us? And he looked at me with a lot of worry in his eyes. And obviously it's a joke, but I was that miserable from food poisoning. I was like, you know what? Not only has New York changed me, not only is being a sports fan worry in his eyes. And obviously it's a joke, but I was that miserable from food poisoning. I was like, you know what? Not only has New York changed me, not only is being a sports fan living in Boston... Barstool's the worst.

Barstool has made me so grim and so dark that I don't even realize it. Grim is a great word for it. That's a great word. Just grim. It's grim as fuck up in here. Just kill myself. Especially when you're a fan of bad teams.

I mean, you want to ask me my most irrational moment. Yeah, what is it? I mean... Every day, living. Yeah, I mean, you want to ask me my most irrational moment. Yeah, what is it? I mean. Every day. Yeah, I got to go through. Living is your irrational moment? I mean, my entire reputation of being like this horrendously negative person. That's all from sports. It's sad.

I feel like. I would say. I feel like you probably couldn't pinpoint. Well, it's like when the Mets lost the World Series, maybe? No. pinpoint well it's like when the Mets lost the World Series maybe no when the Mets collapsed in September in 2007 I didn't do much but the things that I was saying to myself about Tom Glavin I'm happy I didn't say out loud because they were I mean I was just wishing the worst of the worst things upon this completely normal very upstanding member of society family man.

Like, he was in the crosshairs, and I was... I think I would have killed him in the moment. If I had a gun and Tom Glav was in front of me, I think I would have killed him, and I would have regretted it, but I think I would have. You would have actually ended someone's life over the Mets? I mean, literally, no, but in that moment, I remember just being in a dark, dark spot. You would have done bad things.

Yes. Maybe not ended his life, but gotten close. I went on a whole rant on the electric chair about Dominican baseball players and stuff and how Connor Gillespie

was going to fuck my mom and all sorts of weird shit like that. I went to a weird place on that one. But the thing is, it's almost like I'm so conditioned.

That's what was funny for the Giants fans. They're so used to being a pretty classy organization that operates right. Jets fans, we botched this draft shit all the fucking time. So it's like, yeah, what's the big deal? Dave Gettleman's making it really tough. Way worse. So Giants fans don't know what to do. Their coach sucks, and their front office sucks,

and their players suck, and their picks suck. And Eli Manning sucks. Everybody. I mean, everything in Giants world sucks right now. I'm just kind of like so used to it that I don't really overreact anymore. But over the years, I've probably certainly had. But I don't think I've ever like cried. I've never been the subject of one of those rant videos.

I mean, the electric chair was the closest I've ever come and that was more funny than anything. I don't think I've ever been like that. I don't know. I've never done something like the way that Tommy or Big Ever, really just the entire Giants and Raiders fan base, acted last night. Mine are probably more as a kid because when I went into traditional media, which all the pros that that had and obviously landed me here at Barstool, it has a lot of cons as a sports fan because you cannot root for that team anymore they basically just suck it out of you you stop even thinking about your team as somebody that you care about it's kind of desensitizing and sad but i used to cry every single time a&m football would lose as a child it's a lot of crying and guess what it's a lot of crying it's a lot of crying and there was some point where you're just like i'm gonna stop crying because

this happens every week dad no i don't i think i was that irrational until i got to high school and started realizing okay a&m is just bad at football like there was some there was some glimmers of hope in like the late 90s and i don't remember you know when i was super young in the early 90s when they were good but i remember them being not great and then being decently okay and then just stinking um and they still have not really come back from that I mean there was one season when Johnny Manziel won the Heisman and they didn't make it to BCS Bowl but I don't need to go on that rampage but there was one specific time so A&M was people still argue that A&M's not cool now I think Johnny and Kevin Sumlin and all that from an A&M football standpoint put it on the map as cool, but when I was a kid

A&M, definitely not cool. If you liked the University of Texas, you were cool. If you liked A&M, you were a loser. UT was really. Right. And that was just Vince Young. Oh yeah. Ricky Williams, the whole thing. So every year on Thanksgiving

I would bet my classmates, whoever lost, had to sing the opposite fight song in the lunchroom. And I was one of the only Aggies in my class. And I think it was either, I think it was like sixth or seventh grade. So still young enough to like not have a whole lot of pride, but you know that you should. And I got up in the lunchroom and I sang it and I started crying midway. And the boys started booing me. And that age is when you first start like really caring what boys think and I went home and I took all

of my A&M stuff out of my closet which was a lot because we're an Aggie household and threw it outside and told my dad that I would never wear it again and then I called him a son of a bitch now where I learned that, like, because of course, growing up in like a super Christian household, I mean, obviously, at that point, you'd heard swear words, but my dad will still bring that up to this day. Because I, my next door neighbors, Longhorn household, I went over there and I said, give me your Longhorn stuff. I was humiliated at school today and I was sobbing and just completely irrational. And to this day,

my dad was like, that is the moment that I realized you were nuts. Like, took you that long? That is a good irrational moment. I called my father, like the nicest person on the planet, a son of a bitch

because he made me an Aggie. I feel that. I fucking hate my grandpa. I hate my mom. I hate them. Fuck them. I feel... Fuck them. To this grandpa. I hate my mom. I hate them. Fuck them. I feel... Fuck them. This might be my most erratic moment right now.

I know, I'm about to say, because I... Fuck them. There are a few moments growing up that I feel bad still to this day, like the way I acted with my parents. Like one time I, in front of all my friends, told them that my dad starves me because he didn't bring me donuts. I just... I could really dive deep into this. The A&M, throwing all the A&M stuff out is still one of those moments like, God, I was

a real asshole as a kid. I'm sorry. You're like, I don't care. That's what sports is all about. I'm still there. I'm an adult. I'm still there. Hey, mom, you son of a bitch.

You fucking son of a bitch. I mean. What have you done to me? I'm not going to do it to my kids. I'm not doing it. That's just not true. They already are. I mean, don't you already teach them about being sports losers yeah yeah

sad i bought a i got a book from them it was called like you're gonna lose or some shit like that what yeah one of the old one of the first hockey writers at barstool his name was osgood he wrote a book called like losers try to or some shit like that it's all about like being a good sport like learning how to lose and shit and uh he was like you're gonna need this it's like drop dead dude he's not wrong no he's definitely he's definitely not wrong i'm gonna give him the book all right let's get into the rest of this podcast we got mlb players galore the rocket being a little bitch boy and uh a lot more throughout the whole week of CCK. And him being wildly wrong about Kyler Murray. Just want to put that out there.

That midget fuck. I fell in love with you still, old ass man, that was enough. Then we grew up, started to touch. Used to kiss underneath the light on the back of the bus. I know your daddy didn't like me much, and he didn't believe me when I said you were the one. All right, we're back here on CCK. The music was going down. Kevin is back.

What's up? We're picking Ellie's sports team. We did a Metsx Mets game and she someone called in and said she should be a Jets fan. I said no. I said don't align yourself with Kevin's teams because you'll be miserable. Don't align yourself with the team that's a rival of Dave's. So

Jets, that's two birds with one stone. Yeah, you can't do that. But she is kind of drawn to the Mets. Well, she went last night and had a blast because I won 9-0 in whole runs. I said I went on one date with the Mets. It was a great date night and had a blast because I won 9-0 in whole runs. I said I went on one date with the Mets. It was a great date. I want to go on a second date.

So we're taking... You don't want to be in a relationship with the Mets. No, I'm not ready to commit, but... We did a whole hour of sports talk. I've never talked more sports in my life. She's never talked... Our sole sport. And now we have people calling in to try to convince her who she should pledge her allegiance to. Okay.

So we should just rattle that off. I mean, there's this guy who wants – I shouldn't even take this call. Will from Ohio. I mean, these are awful options. Is this the Bengals' call? Yes, it is a Bengals' call. You know what? The Bengals and the Reds are two of the most exciting teams that never win.

The Reds are one of the most history, if not the most history program in the MLB. The only team to go wire to wire in a single baseball season and win the World Series. You're absolutely gone. I'm not letting this happen. You are not being a Reds and Bengals fan. I will not even hear the argument. Oh, man.

I mean, yeah, I would advise... You know who is... I like the name Bengals, though. I think Sean Latham is a Reds fan, and Yasmeen, who used to produce Dialed In with Dallas Braden, is a Bengals fan. I've never seen either one of them happy about being a sports fan. Awful.

No, I want to have fun. This is a prerequisite that I want to enjoy myself. Yes. You should be a fan of the Warriors. You should be a fan of the Patriots. No, I can't do Boston. We've taken Boston off the table. Okay. Then you should be a fan of...

I said that she needs an NBA team because of the playoffs. She should be a Suns fan because we are going to be a fucking force to be reckoned with next year. So it's like, you're not going to jump in now when the playoffs have already started. So you kind of want a clean slate. There's no cleaner slate in the NBA than the Phoenix Suns. You know who you should maybe jump on right now in the NBA have already started, so you kind of want a clean slate. There's no cleaner slate in the NBA than the Phoenix Suns. You know who you should maybe jump

on right now in the NBA is the Bucs. No. No, because you don't want to go against Boston. I think we're going to sell her on the Brewers. I don't want that smoke. She can't jump on a team against Boston. I don't know. You're going to have Giannis for the next 15 years. But you can't go to Milwaukee teams. Yelich is coming to the office

tomorrow. Why not? She should be in Milwaukee. I decided to be a Brewers fan, maybe, possibly. It's a done teams. Yelich is coming to the office tomorrow. Why not? Oh, I decided to be a Brewers fan and maybe possibly? Yeah, it's a done deal that she's going to be with Ryan. Yeah, done.

Yelich and Giannis, go. And we said that whoever she takes in the NBA, she has to wait until the second round to obviously, like she can't pick

a team right now because you have to. I don't know what that means but no. Well, you want to start the new series as a new fan. Like you don't want to jump on like the Spurs right now

while they're still, the Bucs are playing the Celtics. I would go Bucs. That's tough. That's tough. She'd have to get across. I don't think it's that tough. I think that they're going to beat the Celtics. I think Giannis is going to be the best

player in the NBA for the next 15 years. Giannis also waits in line at taco shops in Milwaukee, which means he's a good guy. That's just how I just drew that conclusion. Who is this man? Giannis. G-I-A-N-N. Ellie, say this.

Devin Booker. I'm trying to say another guy. You already made me look him up and I wasn't impressed. Have you shown her Yellich yet? Oh yeah, I said I like him. Would you let him eat your butt? I'm not going to say that on radio while my parents are listening. Sorry, Mrs.

Her parents are listening. He just very famously, there's a girl. Well, he basically has a sex tape out. He'll deny it, but it's him. It's for sure. It's for sure him. Okay, I'm looking that up. And it's actually very hard to find.

He successfully kind of got that scrub from the internet. Yeah. You know what? You know who I think stole my laptop? Christian Yelich. Yeah. Because you had a sex tape. I had the fucking video on that laptop.

I think it's on Reddit. And it's just gone now. It's there, but it's not just a Google search away. You've got to dig in. And then so girls are always making signs with the peach emoji being like, you can come eat it. I'll tell you, he's an attractive guy. He looks like Pete Davidson.

I like that kind of cracked out look a little. Definitely has that doppelganger look. I'm not mad about it. You'll have to probably fight my mom for him. Oh, I don't want to fight your mom for him. You don't want to fight my mom for absolutely anything. I just got a really funny tweet that you're going to appreciate, Ellie. They said that you should adopt the Raiders

because it's a group of untrustworthy men who are guaranteed to let her down. Something she'd be familiar with. Love that. Rude. Not even rude, just correct. The Raiders fans are batshit crazy too. Okay, well I don't know if I could handle that. I need a chill team

a little. Oh, then definitely do not be an Oakland Raiders fan. You should pick some LA teams. Some laid back California. You would probably like the Rams. Be a Miami Heat fan. They're a pretty good team while still being in South Beach. Laid back enough.

Obviously Miami's good. The team is still successful enough. Had some legends. A little bit of history. I want to pick a playoff team right now. Oh yeah. No one is going to accuse you of being a bandwagon fan from the Milwaukee Bucks.

Not yet. In a couple years, probably. Right now, it's almost like... Well, if they go to the Eastern Conference Finals, and she's like, I'm a huge Bucks fan, they would. But who cares? I feel like they've had such a bad run that even just one year of any noise in the playoffs,

it'll be fine. I will put them on my list. My one caveat with that is that one time I hit a deer with my car, so I'm not a big fan of deers. I bet you deers aren't a big fan of you. I bet that. I think I full-on killed it. I bet you the deers are like, I'm not a fan. My friends said he didn't die, but they also didn't let me

get out of the car because they knew I was already crying, so they were like, no, it's fine. It's going away. It's definitely dead. It's mangled. It's like entire bodily fluids were sprayed on my car, so it's definitely dead. Sorry about that. How about Mike from Jersey?

Love a good Mike. For Ellie. Hey, how's it going? Good. Hey there. All right, so baseball-wise, MLB-wise, I feel you can go a couple different ways. I think Cubs probably makes the most sense, just, you know, the Chicago heritage and all that.

Plus the scene around Wrigley is awesome. And Wrigley's fun, too. Wrigley's great. And, you know, just kind of up until a few years ago, you know, comes with the lovable losers. And so far they haven't done what the Red Sox did after 2004 where they kind of swung all the way the other way and became just completely hated. So I think Cubs, you're still well-liked if you're a Cubs fan. People aren't annoyed with you. But for NFL, I think the way to go, and I hate to say this,

as a member of Patriots Nation, we'd love to have you, but Bill's Mafia. Bill's Mafia, I think for you. I don't know if she can handle it. Ellie's not a Bills Mafia girl. Ellie is a classy lady. There's no way. I mean, you go to a Bills tailgate or anywhere they're tailgating and Bills fans show up, people are setting tables on fire and jumping through them like it's wrestling.

People are having sex in the parking lot, peeing, puking. You don't want any of that. The counterpoint is that Ellie would be, it would be a good video to see Ellie, like, flying off the back of a truck into a table. They would be, like,

thrown, they'd be thrown into a table. I wouldn't even break it, though. Right, but you, you would be, she would be just caught in the middle of that warfare. You don't want to be a Bill Stanton.

Okay, not be a Bill Stanton. Thank you for your input. Dangerous. Cubs are on my list, for sure. Uh, Jack from Pittsburgh? Hey, what's going on, guys? I got two teams going to throw out here from Pittsburgh. Hey, what's going on, guys? I got two teams going to throw out here from Pittsburgh.

We got the Pittsburgh Penguins. We got the Pittsburgh Steelers. Our third team we got are the Pirates, which are decent right now, but they're kind of baseball. Anyway, the Steelers, they're always a good, solid team. I mean, you could be going against Dave because, I mean, he's from New England. But I think the Steelers are always solid. A lot of people are putting us down because we lost A.B. and Le'Veon.

But we've still got a solid O-line, a solid D-line, and a solid quarterback. I mean, we don't need to get into the lines of it all. Steelers are good. No, the Steelers. Ellie just mouthed to Casey and made a throwing motion with her arms saying, Steelers is football? You cannot be a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. Why not? I think that's a good thing. The Steelers. Ellie just mouthed to Casey. Shut up. And made a throwing motion with her arms saying, Steelers is football? You cannot be a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. Why not? I think that's a good pick.

The Steelers, no. That's a great pick. No, it's not. They're like a crown jewel franchise. They'll be good for the rest of your life. You hate the Steelers. Well, I can't go against my girl Casey. Why do you hate the Steelers?

I'm a Cowboys fan. Grew up a Cowboys fan. And the Steelers and Cowboys are like a... It's because they all... It's always been like, oh, who has the most Super Bowls? And it's just... And it's Pittsburgh. You can't like Pittsburgh. It's like Philly. It's like, I don't like

the Steelers because of my Dallas roots and my love for Boston. Philly's the same way, but I say that with Philly, she should be... If she decides to join the Philly bandwagon, she at least has a good crew to attach herself in the office. You gotta become a scumbag then. But I'm not a scumbag.

You've got to start talking with a stupid accent and kind of be white trashy. Maybe throw a couple punches. I'm a lot of things. I'm not really white trash. I feel like Philly is not a bandwagon city. It's like if you were born there, you can be a Phillies fan. You can't just jump. No one ever jumps in. I think

Atlanta, someone just tweeted and said the Braves, it's a year. Atlanta sports is the worst. The Braves are not the worst. Yeah, but they're like the least fun. You don't want to be a Falcon. They're not the least fun. They can't even sell out a playoff game.

Yes. Braves fans are the worst. It's a new... No way. It's a new team. No way. The Atlanta Hawks, I did work for them for a hot minute. They're fun, but you don't want to be an Atlanta sports fan.

All right. So no. We've said no to like everything so far. So what am I supposed to do? Why are you doing this, by the way? I would recommend not. I would love to be you. I would love to not like sports.

To not care. But the thing is, last night I decided that I liked baseball. I texted Casey. I said, I think I'm a baseball girl now. And I think it would be interesting for me to try to go to games and be like, do I like this? I like to try new things, Kevin. Well, wait a minute. Time out.

Ellie was writing a blog about hot baseball players. Right. And one of them was J.D. Martinez. I have a huge crush on J.D. And she wants me to set them up. Should we FaceTime him? No. Yes them up. Should we FaceTime him? No. Yes, definitely.

Should we FaceTime him? Do not do that to her. Why not? She looks great today. What's the problem? You do look great. But don't do that to her. Casey just goes.

You do look great. Confirmed. Confirmed. Dial him right now. Can you not? It's like 75 degrees out, so all the girls are like rocking dresses and stuff. Are we doing this? Yes, dial.

All right, we're doing it. Oh, no. This will be're doing it. Oh no. This is so uncomfortable. Maybe he'll convince you to be a Red Sox fan. I think that also, by the way, if you're thinking about going to the games, you gotta pick somewhere local.

Yeah, if it's about going. He's on the Red Sox. All the girls are fixing their hair and shit. Look, you're making me nervous. I think that if you like... The one thing about the Mets is that going to the game, like, Citi Field is awesome. The park is fun.

So if you're not really caring about the... They're going to call back. The team going is a good time. We go to Barcelona Ballpark. It's a fun place to be. It's a well-made ballpark it's it's that might be the way to go because mets games are fun yeah i had i had an honest to god

blast i didn't think i would have fun i was like i'm gonna go so was sitting front row behind her plate yeah but i mean i had to buy a hat because i was like i just look like a dumb girl and i can't can't be like i was so afraid the whole time i was like i can't be taking selfies i can't be like, I was so afraid the whole time. I was like, I can't be taking selfies. I can't like. I got to get a hat. Otherwise, I look like a dumb girl, which I am. Confirmed. This guy, Anthony, convince her on the Mets, bro. All right.

So I was trying. Kevin, honestly, I didn't think you were going to be in the room for it. So I was going to back the whole personality thing. But this guy on Twitter is starting to sway me. Ellie, being a Braves fan, it's a casual thing. You don't have to be fully committed to it. They come to Citi Field, what, nine times a year. You can still enjoy the amenities of, I hate saying it as a Yankee fan,

the better ballpark in New York. You can be there and just casually root for them. There's no rivalry with Dave. Kevin, I think we can agree that right now the Phillies are the more pressing issue than the Braves against the Mets. I don't think Ellie's worried about winning. I think she's agree that right now the Phillies are the more pressing issue than the Braves against the Mets. I don't think Ellie's worried about winning. I think she's worried about going to the ballpark and drinking beers

and having fun. I think the Mets are the choice. I said that from the start. I mean, I would never tell anyone to be a Mets fan, except if they're just like, I want to go to a nice park that's nearby and drink and have fun. That's Barcelona Ballpark. Actually, speaking of, I think, I mean, in a couple weeks now, it's the 24th

I think it's like May Like 5th-ish I'll be there Yeah I mean Listen If you liked going last night Now granted we're not Going to be front row

But when you go to Barcelona Ballpark You'll be like a celeb You'll be the focus Focus of attention That's if If JD doesn't like Sweep up your feet here

This is happening On the air by the way He's on the phone right now What am I supposed to say Let Jared do the talking I think you should be cocky about it You should be like hey what's your name DJ Why don't you pitch me on why I should be a fan of you

Yeah she didn't know what team he played on I heard something about your dong Is it big what jumbo It's super not going to say that Jared said that know what team he played on so i heard something about your dong yeah big what jumbo hose is it super not gonna say that be like it say jared said that is it true that jd stands for giant oh no it's just not jumbo dong he's i couldn't think of what the sound was yeah it's been one of those shows it's like you know you just forget things jared told me that he he's a he's like a very like nice boy he's very nice, coming from Jared, that's rich.

What do you mean? Shut the fuck up, Casey. JD is a take-home-to-mom type guy. Like he is, yeah, because you know what happens when you take him home? Your mom goes, he's worth $150 million.

Yeah. I think my mom would like anyone that was worth $150 million. JD is, like I've met a lot of professional athletes. JD is like in a class of his own in terms of like how he treats people. If I was a chick, I would for sure...

So now I feel like I might not like him if he's nice. Not my type. We know this. If I was a chick, I would definitely be a jersey chaser. I would just fucking find one of these guys worth $100 million. I really was not... Yeah, I'm not really like that, but then last night at the baseball game, I was like, I'd risk it all.

I really would right now. Her Instagram story was pretty funny. What was it? I would say like I'm, I'd risk it all. I really would right now. Her Instagram story was pretty funny. What was it? I was saying, like, I'm about ready to risk it all to be a wag for the number 10 seller butt. Who was it? Do you know? JT. JT Davis?

I don't know. My guy? He was the catcher, and he was squatting the whole time. And I was behind him, and I was just like, whoa. Real me. Real me, I'm telling you. Yeah. I couldn't.

I was just like, holy shit. That's amazing. JT. You can see everything from where I was behind him and I was just like I couldn't, I was just like holy shit, that's amazing. You can see everything from where I was. You see the cheeks. I'm going to put the hose on this girl. Calm down. I'm fine. I mean like you chill out. I'm fine. It was a lot of fun. Does it turn you on if a guy can

speak to you in a different language? I've never really experienced that. You're about to. Maybe. Oh that. You're about to. Maybe. I'm on me. Not when you do it. What? Oh! Zah! Sexy Ken! That was

something, Zah. That really was. That really was. A bunch of people are calling out with their teams, but Joe from New York, maybe you're taking a different angle here. I'm taking a different angle. Hi, Ellie. I think you should be a WWE wrestling fan. Hi, how are you?

I think you should be a WWE wrestling fan. Here's the reason why. You like to be disappointed, and Carabas can speak to this. We get disappointed a lot. There's a lot of guys who have really good-looking bodies's a lot of guys who have really good-looking bodies. A lot of girls who have really good-looking bodies. And I think that, you know, at the end of the day, you might be disappointed like you are with, you know, men in real life,

which is sad to hear. I feel for you on that. I'm sorry. I'm really – okay. Yes. Yeah, it's a thought. It's definitely a thought. I feel like you could see – I could see you getting into WWE.

It's more like – it's not like you think, oh, it's wrestling. It's just like fight. It's not you getting into WWE. It's more like, it's not you think, oh, it's wrestling. It's just like fight. It's not. It's like a soap opera. There's storylines. There's also reality TV shows. I could see you not even watching WWE, but watching like Total Divas or Total Bellas.

They've just branched into pop culture, really, in a way. I had a guy, the guy I was in love with in high school, he used to make me watch WWE with him. So I kind of have, like, bad feelings about it. Did you, like, actually, like, do you remember any of it? Were you actually paying attention? You mean you were just, like, sitting in the room while he watched it?

I was literally sitting in the room watching him watch it. What do you think about that when, like, guys, when girls, when anybody, like, joins in the hobby or the interest of the person they're dating so here's a fine line i definitely think we talked about this actually on my show this week is like there's a difference between being like now i'm obsessed with this thing that you love uh because like you're not your own person with it. Like, I like what you like because you like it, not because it's, like, my thing. Like, I'm down to be, like, I will go to a game with you that you care about.

I will watch something that you like. I'm not going to become, like, the number one, like, I am obsessed with this because that's not my thing. That's your thing. And I think that people like each other for their different interests. So, like, yeah, you can be, like, I, yeah, I'm enjoying this with you,

but this isn't my thing, it's your thing. I agree with that. Yes, I think that's what I mean, the fine line. It's a good balance. Because I think it's rude. I've had a guy really like fucking... You had like the B coming out of your mouth. I don't know, like,

I also think that sometimes it should almost be totally separate and i also think sometimes you should like dive in a little bit more than just like i'll sit there while you like i think it depends on what it is i agree i think it definitely depends what it is and i i don't think every single thing has to be like oh you like this why i like it now like there are definitely things that like you like you like that i am not going to enjoy that with you you do that with your boys you do that what about what about like you move in with a guy you live with somebody and like the tv situation well see i don't watch a lot of tv

like i'm not like i do but like on my laptop so there's a show i really want to watch i'm not watching it prime time like i'm watching it when i have time for it so if there's a show that you're like every thursday night at 7 45 p.m i., I watch this thing. We're going to watch it. Fine. We can watch it. I'm flexible, you know? What about if it's like a game? Well, a game of Thrones.

Game of Thrones, we're watching. Like, I have, you have no. But what if he's like, all right, I don't want, I'm going to watch, I'm going to watch something else. Would you be like, I want you to watch this with me? Um, I wouldn't force him if he didn't love it, though. Like, I have forced some people to watch it with me, but like, I don't want to watch with someone who hates it because I love it though like i'm i have forced some people to watch it with me but like i don't want to watch with someone who hates it because i love it like if you're like a casual person who's like it's

fine like i like it i'm not the biggest fan watch it with me if you're actually just gonna sit there and make me feel bad for liking what i like get the fuck out of here have you ever have you ever adopted a show or like a hobby with like a significant other and actually ended up liking it and it became one of your own things. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely TV shows. I've done that before.

TV shows and music sometimes. Music works. Yeah. I mean, I, I for sure found myself being like, who is a on Pretty Little Liar? Oh my God. Kev. No doubt. That's incredible.

What? I've been there. Yeah. That one is particularly bad. There's been a couple. Particularly bad. That's not great. There's been a couple. Particularly bad. That's not great. There's been a couple.

I remember this is not a relationship, but I used to go home on Sundays in college and I would see my mom and my sister and they were watching Desperate Housewives at the time. Oh, yeah. And that was one of those ones that I started out like, well, I'm home. I'm just going to hang out with my mom and sister. And I have like one eye on it. I'm not really paying attention.

And then week after week after week, I'm like, who is Gabby fucking now? Yeah. What is going on here? I think music gets extra bad. A then week after week after week, I'm like, who is Gabby fucking now? What is going on here? I think music gets extra bad. Like, real bad. In high school, I had a guy, the same guy I was talking about with the WWE, he would make me, like, mix CDs,

like physical CDs, and You're too young for that. Oh, shut up. I'm not, like, 14 years old. I feel like you are. I wasn't really trying to be rude there like you probably had an iPod didn't you of course I had an iPod

but I wasn't it was in my car so he'd make me CDs and then I'd listen to them in my car he'd like write on them like Ellie's Mix 1 that's what we had

that's all we had it was so cute that's how you got laid he would make me these playlists and I would like obsessively listen to them so that on the off chance

because we were like not together, like we were best friends, but I was like full in love with him, but he would make me these things. I would listen to them obsessively on the off chance we were just in the car and a song would play and then I could be like, I know every word to this shit.

Like, fuck me. Look, I know you're the opposite. Never happens. It's so funny because I mean, it's very, it's hard where it's like, oh, that's, like, cute that she likes, like, she took an interest. And she, you know, wants to, or then it's like, you know, I see you, like, saying all the words. I'm like, you don't even like this song. And it almost feels phony.

Yeah, yeah. But I think it really has to be, like, I genuinely enjoy this. Like, I actually, like, he loved Eminem, like, in a creepy way. Like, obsessive, obsessive Stan. Which, yeah, yeah, he loved Eminem, like, in a creepy way. Like, obsessive, obsessive Stan. Which, yeah, yeah, he was a huge Stan. And then I ended up, I saw, like, I liked him. Like, I'm not, like, a huge fan, but I liked it. So I learned all the words, like, most of that shit.

And then I went to Lala with him, and we saw Eminem in concert. It was fucking sick. It's like, there's a difference. Like, some of the shit that he was sending me, I was like, this is fucking horrible. Yeah, like, Eminem. I am not. I can jump on to some of the shit that he was sending me I was like this is fucking horrible yeah like Eminem I am not Eminem is one of the most popular artists

yeah but like some of it I was like I am not fucking listening to this shit this sucks I feel like in a relationship it's the guy has more to share

with the girl that the girl might find interesting than the girl can share with the guy I highly disagree with that Ellie just made a face 100%

the shit that girls like it's like why would guys like that stuff the stuff that girls like, it's like, why would guys like that stuff? The stuff that girls like will enrich your life. Like, will make your life better. I am mind blown.

The shows that girls watch are not enriching. Hold on. I agree with that. There are a lot of trashes. I'm not like, I've never seen an episode of the Kardashians.

I love Jersey Shore, whatever. The fact that you are 30 years old and you just made that comment is so sad that's crazy that guys have more to offer girls

that's not what I said you literally said that you literally said that no no no Casey is the queen of taking what I said out of context hobbies and interests

I didn't say like offering no I just said of hobbies I said more to offer guys from a hobby standpoint yes yeah you yeah a girl is way more likely offer guys from a hobby standpoint. Yeah.

A girl is way more likely to take up a guy's hobbies and interests than a guy is to take up a girl's hobbies and interests. That doesn't mean that there's more to offer. That just means... That's what I meant. Yeah, but you didn't say that. I mean, you took it out of context. You're looking at me as you said that. I just kept my mouth shut.

A girl is way more likely to take up a guy's hobbies and interests than vice versa. That's what I meant. That's because girls are usually more insecure. But yeah. Yes. Yeah. I think that's probably more to say about just like the way girls think about relationships where they're maybe a little more eager to like, like me, like me.

Let's make this work. I want to be in love. I want to have a boyfriend. But I do think that sometimes you're speaking stereotypically that girl hobbies are girl hobbies are girly whereas guys have a little bit more like yeah neutral but what i i mean i obviously am not a good example because i like sports the way that i do but i'm like i still i still feel like i've dated guys that'll like watch stuff because I like it and then they end up liking it or listen to the music.

The Bachelor is a perfect example of something that is girly and then guys watch it and then they realize there's unintentional humor to it and then you can get in with it and get down with it. Even music though. Definitely with music. I've dated a guy right out of college that would go to

concerts with me and end up really liking that. But like who? Because like very typically girly, like you're doing like boy bands and like, I guess like fucking like Miranda Lambert is one that I think like Miranda Lambert, I feel like is more girly. And like, definitely. I mean, I've never I've never listened to like a single. You should. I was listening to her this morning getting ready for work. Crazy. Random. I mean, it's definitely girlier. But I don't, I mean, yes, I think girls more prototypically pick them up. But I don't necessarily think. I don't think of my interests as hobbies. I don't think of anything I do as a hobby.

It's just what I do with my life. I feel like guys have like. What are we talking about when you say hobby? It's like I wrote this blog when i was 27 i think it was it was my big like kill yourself blog and i was just like what do you do people like humans of the world like adults who once you're out of college once you have started like your life you have like a steady job or whatever and you just get into your routine and you realize there's no semester break there's no graduation coming i say i'm going through this right now yeah i don't have hobbies i don't have interests but like what

do i like who am i i said i was like i i go out i i go out to dinner i buy food that like i can't afford we have way too many drinks uh you know maybe you meet someone you hook up maybe you like whatever and then you you know wash rinse repeat and am repeat. And am I just going to do that forever? Like, I'm not like a crazy partier, but it was just like, I just drink. I just go out. I go to bars. I will say that I turn a lot of guys on to my favorite drink. That's a thing. What's your drink?

Cucumber vodka water. Okay. It's really fucking good. It's a great summer drink. It's like spa water. I'll drink it anytime. It's fucking delicious. I do that, too.

Like, I'll drink red wine all year. I drink red wine in the summer all the time. I have never had red wine. Damn. Are they coming on radio? No, I think you guys got to bounce. You want to hang for a little bit? You can pop on this as well.

It's up to you. I don't know. Kick her off. Fuck Casey. Don't worry about it. She's talking about the bitch-ass Kyler Murray. Pop in. I talk to her every day. We only get you for a little bit, man. A whole new audience that you can say

hi to. You know what I mean? Slide down there. There's a couple seats for both of you. We got Travis Shaw and Christian Yelich here. They came through on their off day and they're hanging out with... You guys are doing the full treatment. They came through on their off day and they're hanging out with you guys are doing the full treatment. Pop on. So you got the Mets tonight.

This is twice for me. Tomorrow, yeah. This series, I mean. So we can talk a little more timely here. You said you're facing DeGrom, Syndergaard, and Matz. We had the scare of a lifetime as Mets fans with DeGrom with his elbow. If he's back on his game though,

Friday. Yeah. Of course it'd be against us. I mean, if he's back on his game and he's healthy, is that just one of those games where you're just like, all right, let's get this over with.

No, I mean, it's fucking Christian Yelich. Yeah, that's true. The hottest hitter on planet earth. I, I,

I mean, I'll take, I'll take the ground when he's hot over fucking Barry Bonds in his prime. Yeah, I mean, if pitchers make their pitches, you're kind of screwed. But, no, we'll see. We'll see how it goes. It's always fun. I really enjoy stuff like that.

It's just fun. It's best against the best sort of thing. Oh, that, and you're supposed to get out against a guy like that. So anything other than that, it's a win. There's a way to think about it. If you look at it, that, and he's supposed to, like, you're supposed to get out against a guy like that. So anything other than that is, like, it's a win. There's a way to think about it. If you look at it like that, you know? Yeah. It's just fun to play those games. Right.

You know, they usually never work out how you think they're going to, too. So that's the thing. Holy shit. What? He's a 438 hitter against the Grom. Against the Grom? Holy shit, man. Oh, you just look it up?

Yeah. I'm getting sick of this. It's been a little while. I haven't faced him in a few years. But guess you just look it up? Yeah. I'm getting sick of this. No homers, though. It's been a little while. I haven't faced him in a few years. But guess what? He's on the road, so. 32 at-bats.

It's not even a small sample. 32 at-bats, 438 with a 971 OPS. Well, he's going to go 0-4 because he's not at home. I feel like that's not true. Really? Okay, let's... I mean, he doesn't have a home run against DeGrom. I'll ask you this question. Me and Clem set the over-runner for this series at one and a half home runs for Christian Yelich.

I said over because he just went over for St. Louis. Yeah, that's true. He's due. I mean, they come in bunches. So, yeah, I'm going to take the over. I think you're going to have a two-homer game. That's crazy to predict that. It's kind of a reasonable prediction right now.

It's probably going to happen. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like it won't, it won't be Friday. I got no homers against the Grom. Who's go, who goes Saturday wins,

wins Vargas pitching. No, he just missed. And he pitched it. And he pitched well, and they squandered it. Whatever. You have to wait.

That would have been Vargas gives you anything. I want to take Jason Vargas and blast him into the sun, but that's, that's another conversation for four homer game. Yeah. Um, while you're in New York, do you guys just lay low? This time we did. We got here a little bit

later last night. Last year we had the same setup. We had an off day. We went and had a little fun the night before the off day last time. We're kind of just doing whatever. Going with the flow. I have a question. How did you guys become friends?

Every time they both... Our lockers were next to each other in spring training. Yeah, they come... It's like I know two dudes on the Brewers and they just happen to be friends with each other but came from two different organizations completely. So when I got traded, I knew nobody. I didn't know anybody on the Brewers.

I didn't have one guy's phone number. I didn't know anybody on the Brewwers i didn't have one guy's phone number i hadn't i didn't know anybody on the brewers and i got to spring training and i talked to him a little bit during like games when we'd play each other like just on the bases or whatever yeah um so i knew him like a little like that but that's still not really knowing somebody and then we got the spring training and like the locker room was like an l and like i was here and he was like here on that so we were there and then then we had the same schedule in spring, like days we were playing on the road or whatnot. It was my first Arizona, so I'd follow him to some of the games,

just when we had to drive over. And then we just kind of ended up becoming buddies that way. It's like when you go to a new school. It's like, well, we had math class together. Yeah, we sat beside each other at lunch. It's basically the same concept, just on a Major League Baseball team, yeah. It's funny how people pair off because I'd imagine it's like, you know, if like me and you pair off, it's like, well, I don't like him as much as I like you.

You know what I mean? It kind of gets awkward. It's like clicks and shit. But it's really the same dynamic as like everyday life. Like if you went to a new job and like you started doing radio with somebody else, you're like, Oh, this guy's kind of cool.

Like, I guess we'll get along for now. Like, you know, good enough. Yeah. And then you just like hang out and then we both know Jared. And,

um, fortunately. Yeah. Then we just ended up rolling in here. We came in here last year with bandy. That sucks. I'm this bandy. Cause he got,

he got traded to the Rangers. What's up with your boy bore. You went to his wedding. What? Like last year, last December, I think it was. Yeah. he got traded to the Rangers. What's up with your boy, Boar? You went to his wedding, what, like last year? Yeah, last December, I think it was. Yeah, now he's with the Angels. He's still playing video games naked? Yeah. He gets to play with cooler people.

He gets to play with Trout now. Him and Trout are like video game buddies. Yeah, bandy. Boar and Trout. Justin Boar and Mike Trout playing video games together. Dude, you have $400 million and you take your time playing Fortnite with this idiot? With Justin Bore. Didn't he just hit a grand slam the other day?

Did he? When he gets a hold of him. He hits tanks. He's a monster. I love that guy so much. He's a funny guy. JB will always have a special place in my heart for those stories and that post-game routine he was going through in 2015. It's just a legendary moment.

What's the routine? He doesn't do it anymore. They needed to do an intervention. It was great because he said that he would strip down butt naked, order two cheesecakes from room service and a blue Monster Energy and game until like 4 a.m.

Every night. Two cheesecakes, monster energy, naked video games, 4 a.m. A blue monster energy. I don't know if that means anything, but that was the way the story went down. And then they had to be like, dude, enough. And then he'd hit homers in the show after that. Like the night prior to that, he'd go hit a homer the next time. How can you not love that?

That's the American dream right there. It really is. But like, you know what? That's the American dream right there. It really is. It's playing out for funnier guys. But like, you know what? There are guys who are like broke who are doing that. You know what I mean?

Like you are a professional athlete. You've made it to like the.01% of the world and you're still just doing what the average guy wants to do. Yeah, and you get to fly under the radar. You don't have to deal

with all the bullshit. Yeah. You get to go on KFC radio. Well, we got Hollywood Yelich over here now. I don't know about that name. I radio. Well, we got Hollywood Yelich over here now. I don't know about that name. I don't know if I got Hollywood. We got to give him some stupid nickname.

We got Mayor of Ding Dong City over here. Yelich doesn't really have one yet. I call him the guy with the teeth. What about like a mom slayer or something like that? Oh, yeah, that's enough. That's enough. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

I knew it was a good idea to come in here. Are you going to leave Kevin's mom tickets for the series? If she would like them. Let's see if I can get my mom to call in. She's busy. See, here's the thing, though. I didn't initiate that. I came in here a couple years ago, whatever it was,

and he was like, hey, make a video for my mom. I was like, all right, hey, what's up, Mrs. Clancy? How are you doing? I thought it was going to be like, hi, not like, yo, you want to come see me? I'll leave you tickets like I do for the hoes that I fly out sort of thing. That was on you, though. You handed me your phone.

I opened up Pandora's box on this one. And now I was telling him on KC Radio. Now she's like all about him. And she'll be like, did he hit two more? Oh, my God. Well, you tried to hit on my mom. And I said, well, Christian hit on your mom. And you know what he said?

He said, he's a good guy and you're not. So he threw you under the bus. He said, it's okay for him to hit on my mom, but not you. Speaking of throwing under the bus. You don't want to keep tempting him. You don't want to keep tempting him. We have to ask your mom what she thinks. Let me see if I can get her to call in. Because I would actually love to see

that interaction. Because you've never met her. She's probably not going to. She's pretty shy. We could walk by each other on the street right now. I have no idea. I don't think she would either. I feel like you could get her some nice seats for DeGrom on Friday. Nice little front row spot. You should go right behind the Brewers dugout, like first row.

Yeah. Right by the top of those signs. It's about the experience. You're a dick, dude. Life's about experiences. That you're a dick dude life's about experiences that'd be a great one it was one thing when he was doing this

when he kind of was like okay you know like sort of scrub now it's like the MVP's hitting on your mom it's a different story right but he's still

still the same guy life happens fast man I mean life comes at you very fast yeah yeah but I mean he comes in here

with his with his button up shirt like he's somebody and I didn't want to do this but then I went yeah Shaw's comes in here with his button-up shirt like he's somebody. I didn't want to do this, but then I went. Shaw's normal. He's got his T-shirt on, his hoodie on. I went to look for that in my suitcase this morning,

and then I realized I was like, oh, shit. Why are you wearing that? Because this is all I have is either this or no shirt. This is new lifestyle. Yeah, new lifestyle. Mr. Hollywood, that's what I'm saying. Easy guy. Hollywood Yellich, dude.

Hollywood Yellich. I only pack button-up. Sorry, man. Hollywood. That's what I'm saying. Easy guy. Hollywood Yellich, dude. Hollywood Yellich. I only pack button-ups. Sorry, man. I'm only coming here business casual. I forgot that we had an off day because this is what we have to wear to the stadium every day. Like, this is how you have to dress. And then I forgot we had an off day. And then, yeah. You also, like, forgot that you had a game on Wednesday because you were like, yeah, we'll see you on Wednesday.

We're coming to the office. Like, dude, you'll be, like, in fucking – where were you yesterday? St. Louis. Yeah. I thought I said Thursday. No? I think you on Wednesday. Or come to the office. Like, dude, you'll be like in fucking. Where were you yesterday? St. Louis. Yeah. I thought I said Thursday. No? I think you said Wednesday. In all fairness, though.

You don't really know the days when the Major League Baseball season starts. It's all the same. Every day is exactly the same. Preach, brother. Except Sundays. Those games don't want. My mom just said, oh, so cool. I'm at the doctor's office.

Or I would with about 1,000 exclamation points. God damn it, mom. There's always next time. I actually, no, I changed my mind. She said, no,lamation points. God damn it, Mom. There's always next time. No, I changed my mind. She said, no, he has too many teeth in his head. I don't want to talk to her about that. Yeah, he moves the needle in the Clancy household.

How does that make you feel? You started this whole thing. I did, but again, I didn't think you were going to be like, come see me and I'll leave you tickets. There's an implication there, Christian. No. No. She used to hate you. We all did. I mean, that's how this all started.

I hated Christian Jelic when he was on the Marlins. And he just always seemed to stick it to the Mets. He never did. Well, yeah, because you didn't have to deal with him in the NL East. The best thing that ever happened to me, little known to me, was that he got the fuck out of the NL East. Yeah, yeah, because you didn't have to deal with him in the NL East. The best thing that ever happened to me, like little known to me, was that he got the fuck out of the NL East.

Yeah, but I mean, like, it's still like he's in the National League. I know, but it's a lot better than seeing him 19 times a fucking year. Now it's only like seven, right? Six or seven? Yeah, something like that. Usually, so the problem actually now, though, is that ordinarily, I guess maybe this year not because you're in town here, usually right around Mother's Day, the Mets and the Brewers play.

And often that's exactly when I pinpoint the moment where the Mets season ends. We play like a week or two from now, too. All right. So that's it. It's always around Mother's Day. Yeah, we play in Milwaukee like two weeks, I think. I mean, I have visions of Bill Hall with a pink bat on Mother's Day. Blasted like a three-run home run.

They did it several years ago. Addison Reed was on the mound in the eighth inning. We had a lead. Blew it, I think, like two or three times. That was Manny Pina's day. Two or three times I've come to the season on the Mets with the Brewers on Mother's Day. It's just how it unfolds.

We've been playing for a month and a half, and the team's not that good. Anytime you see a pink bat, you just have it unfolds. It's like, all right, we've been playing for a month and a half, and the team's not that good. So anytime you see a pink bat, you just have nightmares. PTSD. Can't wait for Mother's Day. I'm sorry. Oh, my God. On Mother's Day? Oh, I'm fucked.

Hypothetically, if I got you. Yeah, which is for sure hitting a home run with a pink bat on Mother's Day, and he's going to round the bases and say, like, Hi, Mrs. Glancy. Did you use the pink bat last year? Yeah. If that happens, we'll sign it and have it sent here. Oh, God.

Hypothetically, if I got you Kevin's mom's address, would you send her flowers on Mother's Day? I mean, sure. That's got to be good for a homer, right? Good karma. I do not like how this joke is progressing. It's a nice gesture. He's just a nice guy.

He's just a nice kid. He's doing what's right, it's a nice gesture. He's just a nice guy. He's just a nice kid. You know? He's doing what's right. You got siblings? Maybe. So that's a sister, confirmed? No,

I don't have any sister. I have two younger brothers. One used to play baseball, one just got out of the Marine Corps. Okay. I feel like it's gotta be a weird, a weird dynamic for them too, though.

Like all of a sudden, like, yeah, their brother's been a Major League Baseball player, like, whatever, but now he's... It's like being Santa Claus' brother. I don't know. I yeah, their brother's been a Major League Baseball player like whatever but now he's It's like being

Santa Claus' brother. I don't know. I mean you'd have to ask them about that. I don't know how they take it all. I feel like they just don't care.

Really? Yeah, I mean to you I've known him my whole life. Where do they live? One's in Orange County and one's in like the L.A. area. Yeah, so then

they probably never come across anyone that's like hey it's Christian Yelich your brother? You ever want to go back there and play, you think? Where? Back home? Yeah.

We'll see how it works out. It's not like something. I always wondered if I ever made it, if it was an option, like I would love to go play for the Mets, for the Knicks, like get back home and play in my hometown. If you had six years of service time, became a free agent, and then signed with the Mets, you'd blow out your ACL immediately. Instantly.

Like at the press conference. If I didn't sign that deal, this would have been my free agent year after the season. Really? Yeah. When are you up? Three years. Three years.

I said if I was them, I'd be laying a huge old offer on the table right now. So you're signed through your age 30 season? Yeah. You've got to secure the bag, dude. Yeah. Clock's ticking, you know? Yeah.

Stock's never been higher. You already secured the bag. Yeah. The bigger bag. There's different bags. There's different types of luggage, you know? You would appreciate Travis Shaw's Pedimeter. We had him on, I don't know, 2017.

I ask this question to a lot lot of guys and everyone gives like the bullshit answer like if you've been traded for someone before do you keep track of the other guy to see how he's doing everyone's like no just move on i don't care it's like i'm sure you probably don't pay attention now but like originally it's like yeah like i want to know like how that guy's doing because i'm the trade yeah so you keep an eye on it i did, yeah, like, I want to know, like, how that guy's doing. Who won the trade? Yeah. So you keep an eye on it? I did. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm sure after a while, it's like, yeah, so, like, let that go.

But, like, up front, in the beginning. I feel like you probably won your trade, right? He had, yeah. Yeah. It's not even close. I didn't know who it was for, but I was like, I would imagine your performance is pretty fucking. He missed, like, the entire first year that he was there. Like, half the second year. I would imagine your performance is pretty fucking... He missed the entire first year that he was there,

like half the second year, and then whenever he's out there, he's giving out moon bombs. Do you think Jelic is winning his trade with the Marlins? Probably not. It's too soon to tell. I would love... Three guys haven't made it to the big leagues yet from that trade, so it remains to be seen.

Yeah, the next Barry Bonds... Guess what? They probably won't. Probably out to a good start. Has anybody gotten Jeter face-to-face and just been like, so, how about that one, man? He's been ducking everything left and right. I just want to hear it from his stupid mouth.

Even like Marcelo Ozuna's been crushing it in St. Louis. If you look at the lineup you guys had. Unbelievable home run rob attempt by Ozuna. That was phenomenal. You didn't see when he tried to rob the homer and then he got stuck in the fence and he

fell on his face. He face planted and the ball landed. He climbed the wall and then it was like warning track power and he jumped back down. You definitely saw that. It was like he misjudged it totally. So he's climbing the wall and the ball barely reaches the warning track.

And he jumps off and like tries to dive forward. It was a catastrophe. Immediately after it happened. You stay in touch with those guys? Oh, yeah. All the time. I mean, the lineup with the Marlins was stacked. I mean, when you look up and down there and you see.

Oh, no. I can't believe I hadn't seen that. It was a ground rule double? Yeah. Brutal. It was brutal it was like like major league where the dude climbed not even close i was like did it hit something to hit a bird or something i love him though like he's hilarious like unbelievable guy yeah that that was marlin steves though i mean i remember playing him seeing him all the time with the mets being like these guys are all very good, and it just never, like, came together,

and they just jettisoned everybody for nothing. Literally, yeah. I mean, that outfield was stacked. That outfield was stacked. Like, all that, like, 2016 Marlins group needed was, or no, the 17 group. All they needed was, like, some starting pitching. Like, they were good. Yeah, we needed that.

Could have helped. Could have helped the situation. Definitely could have helped out a little bit. Brewers right now could use some starting pitching, but you guys got Gio coming back. Yeah, Gio's awesome. That would have been such a perfect time for the Mets. Well, the Mets are fucking stupid.

They are. Keiko and Gio around, and they're like, no, we're good with our 29th in the league team ERA. That's going to change, though. It better. I don't know. It has to. Hopefully not in the next three days.

Hopefully not in the next three days. Let's start with the Brewers. The Brewer, we just need to score runs where we just don't hit a homer. The only runs we've scored in the last seven days have been homers, except for yesterday. They walked in a run, but other than that. As long as you keep hitting them, I guess it doesn't really matter. Yeah.

The other night we had five hits. Four of them were homers. That's got to be fun, though. It's kind of tight. It's kind of tight. When everybody's getting in on the action, just like every other at-bat, someone's blasting one out. That's got to be when baseball is the most fun.

Nobody's getting a hit or it's a homer. Feast or famine, man. Hitting homers and punching tickets. That was literally how we won baseball games last year. How could you not be a fan of the Milwaukee Brewers last year? I know. It's really true. What was it like going home last October?

After we lost? Yeah, it sucked. It was a lot of fun, though. The playoffs were so much fun. It was a good time. Those games are... Game 7 Game 6 was like nuts that was like the most unbelievable game i've ever been a part of just you realize that like as it's happening that like in the middle of game like i'm a part of something special right now yeah

this place is just crazy like the roof was closed in miller park the back panels are closed and it's a sellout and people were just going wow no yeah you like feel the sound like rallying around in there you could feel it on your body. The buzz is so loud. It's so much fun. And it was like that in game seven, too. And then once we started losing, it got a little bit quieter. But before that, it was like a madhouse.

Because in Milwaukee, they tailgate games, too. So they're like football games. They tailgate, and then they come into the stadium. So it's like people are already ready to go by first pitch. That's the vibe you want. It's a great baseball time stadium. That's awesome. So it's like people are already ready to go by first pitch. That's the vibe you want. It's a great baseball time, and it's awesome. The parking lot's open at like 3 or 4 o'clock. That is the way to do it.

It's only two baseball stadiums are allowed to tailgate. That's us and I think the Royals. The Rangers tailgate. Do they? Yeah. So maybe it's a couple. Maybe they stop, but I don't know. When I was down there, they had the big-ass parking lots.

So, yeah, it's a great baseball town. It's a good place to be. It's a lot of fun. Those summer games, we'll play a day game during the summer, like a Wednesday getaway day game, and it's sold out. It's still packed. It's packed. And it's not like that anymore.

I mean, you went from the complete opposite to, I mean, you could not have upgraded better playing in front of, like, 200 people down in Miami. It ended up working out for the best. Yeah, I would say so could not have upgraded better playing in front of, like, 200 people down in Miami. It ended up working out for the best. Yeah, I would say so. I think both sides would say that. Yeah. I guess it's different when you go home in the playoffs, though,

when you're, like, on the verge of something. Like, you guys are young, you're putting it all together, versus, like, if you had high expectations and you fell short, yeah, it sucks that you're going home, but it's like, we'll be back for more more the window's still wide open I feel like we had a lot of like we probably should have won that series like we just didn't do the things that we we had the every opportunity

to win that series like I'll sweat bullets about you guys winning that series like what would I the only games that we like got beat or didn't beat ourselves was game seven they just beat us which is it makes that easier to live with when you lost game seven they just beat us which is it makes that easier to live with when you lost game seven by just losing like you just lost no mistakes yeah there

was no like freak plays that happened or like damn if that didn't happen did you hit one in game seven yeah yeah the first time out right yeah which is cool yeah i remember being like that's an outer body that's an that's an outer body experience right there like you have i don't even you don't even know what you're doing at that time. It's just like I have no idea how to describe what that feels like. I thought you were going to win that game. I thought that home run, I thought it was going to stand up, and it was going to be like, God, this guy's hitting game seven

to go to the World Series home runs. That's like the only thing I did in that series, though. I showed up eventually. Yeah, it was easy. I don't know how Travis feels about it, but the way I feel about it was, like, we probably should have won game two. Like, we usually win that game nine out of ten times. And then we played that 14 inning game where we had a ton of chances to win that game.

We just didn't win. And we won game six. We won game three, four nothing. Won game one. So, it was, like, the only game we lost was game five and game seven. Yeah, anytime, like, the Brewers turned it over to the bullpen by, like, the fifth inning, it was like, we're good. I mean, we were turning it over in the second.

Yeah. Let's close this shit down. Yeah. Yeah. All right, boys. We're one batter into the game. We don't want to take up too much more of your time. You've been here for, like, hours,

so we appreciate you coming through and doing everything. Let's keep, like, the cold streak going for a couple more games, and then you can get back on track. We've been trending down. We had a good time for an off day today and then we'll be back tomorrow and see how it goes. Let's go Mets. He's legitimately

an ambassador for the Brewers. He talks about the Brewers like he has a fan podcast about the Brewers. But he's also the best player in the National League on the Brewers. That's how he talks about the Brewers like he has a fan podcast about the Brewers. But he's also the best player in the National League on the Brewers. That's how he talks about baseball. You're a weird cat, Yelich. That's so weird.

Thanks a lot, man. We'll catch you guys after the break. We'll be back. Thanks, guys. We'll be back. stands come catch the fever the fever with room and it's for everyone as somebody who doesn't care about hockey like I've said

it's been really exciting even the sweeps have been fun because of what they are like the idea of the Islanders sweeping Islanders sweeping after the whole Tavares thing. And then the Blue Jackets taking out the Behemoth in Tampa. And then the Bruins last night just embarrassing Daniela and the Maple Leafs. And Justin Bieber was there. She took a good shot back at Gaz, though. Oh, her and Gaz had a great interaction. She had no reason to have a win last night. And Gaz

for the most part had all the W's because back-to-back wins. But her saying, do you just live on my Instagram? I was like, that's a pretty good comment. Have fun at your college parties and all that. You can't do much. I got chirped by Shark fans yesterday. Some of the worst chirps of all time. Some of the worst.

You have a clean shot at me. 3-1 lead, 3-0 lead in the game but just some of the lamest like i forget i forget what they were people are very there it's a lot like soccer to me where it's like if you are not a die-hard hockey fan and you haven't followed hockey your entire life you have no idea yeah they they assume that you just you can't talk about it you shouldn't be able to talk about that's why everybody's so mad at dave right now it's because dave you know biggest bruins guy of all time and his twitter right now it's just a dumpster fire because they're like oh you're not a real hockey fan

it's like he does this every year it takes so long for people to catch on a day stick here's the thing about hockey fans that i'll never understand all right it is the fourth most popular sport yet all of you get so mad when people latch onto the sport during the playoffs. Like, newsflash, you want more people to pay attention to your sport. Right. But when they do, everyone's like, you're not a real hockey fan.

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Maybe if you understood hockey, this and that. It's like, dude, just, every sport has bandwagon fans. Every team has bandwagon fans when they're doing well. Every sport has bandwagon fans during the team has bandwagon fans when they're doing well. Every sport has bandwagon fans during the playoffs. Allow these people to embrace your sport that wouldn't be paying attention otherwise. It's a huge like my sport league, too.

I'm sorry if that's a knock on if you're a hockey fan who says that. Like my sport. Please like my sport. We're better. We can take hits better. But then when you do like their sport and you don't like their sport year round or your entire life, then you get back. I do love hockey. Last year, I probably I probably I mean, I always watch Stanley Cup playoffs, but like I probably I don't know if I would have watched it very intently if the Knights had gotten bounced early.

I mean, I'm going to watch the rest of the playoff. Like, I'm very addicted to hockey now. That's good. I'm very addicted. Download. There's a new pod here. Spitting chicklets. Hit it up.

Yeah. They're struggling. They're struggling. Yeah. They're not very popular. They could catch on. But the whole thing about hockey is, like, the playoffs. The playoffs is just, like, fucking, like, black tar heroin.

And the regular season is just, like, it's, you know. I would agree with that. So it's fair to catch on to it. Yeah. You grew up a hockey girl, so, like. And I will tell you right now, like, yeah, I watch the games. But I'm not, like, if I miss a game, I'm not, like, this is like this is the end of the world playoffs are way more exciting playoff hockey is can't miss stuff yeah so if you get addicted to hockey during the playoffs oh i'm gonna pay attention like next year

it's like well of course no no no playoff is similar to the regular season in any sport but i will say that the discrepancy really jacked up in hockey is the greatest between playoff hockey nba is close nba is close nba has gotten over the years nba gradually has gotten worse yeah i mean like i don't know i i feel like it's the nba is in a league of its own in terms of like the playoffs versus regular season no i think the nba is pretty close too because there's so many people that do not care about watching basketball especially when football season is on. But then you come like the Super Bowl happens and everybody kind of latches on to that. And then the NBA playoffs. I mean, even last night.

I mean, like the Damian Lillard thing, like people are talking all about that. That probably have not watched a game in the regular season. I mean, obviously it was a massive storyline. The draw of the NHL playoffs is it's easily the most parody, like hands down. I mean, baseball, I would say NBA is probably the least parody of any playoffs. Like it typically shakes out top seeds. NBA, yeah. Right. Where, I mean... There's not as many like upsets in the NBA

as there are others. I mean, you get them here and there, but like not... You know the storyline. NHL, the top seed in the NHL has not won the Stanley Cup in like five or six years. It might be more than that. And I think the year it was, was the last full season because the year the Blackhawks were insane, but it was the shortened season. The last full season was like six, seven years ago.

Yeah. Baseball. I mean, baseball can teeter back and forth too, obviously. Yeah. Baseball. Well, recently, not so much because a lot of teams are seeing what organizations like the fucking Astros did where it's like, oh, we can just suck for a while and then we can just be a powerhouse.

So teams are doing that. So there's like a handful of teams that are trying really hard to win and then there's a handful of teams that are trying really hard to lose and then there's just a big middle part of slop that just doesn't really give a fuck either way. That's baseball. So yeah, you're going to get the teams like the playoffs. The

champion might be different every year, but the playoff picture is going to virtually be the same. Yep. And especially for like, it's pockets of dominance too from teams. Indians, five years, they'll be gone. And then it'll be probably White Sox maybe. No. No.

Hopefully for Jared's sake. Baseball expert Ellie Schnitt. Oh yeah, did you know that Ellie's a baseball girl now? She went yesterday, I saw that. She loved it. I loved it. I did. I'm a baseball fan now? She went yesterday. I saw that. She loved it. I loved it. I did. I'm a baseball fan now.

That's me. I've not been to the new Shea. I know it's Citi Field. New Shea Stadium. The old Shea was awesome. It was a dump, but it was awesome. Never been there. Sometimes dumps are like fun.

Like old stadiums, unless they smell bad or ballpark. Oh, the old Yankee Stadium I fucking loved. Yeah. I mean, I never went to it, but I hear people are like mad that they redid it. I like the new Yankee Stadium. fucking loved yeah I mean I I never went to it but I hear people are like mad that they redid it I like the new Yankee Stadium it's very comfortable

and very bougie yeah but the old Yankee Stadium was like it was a shithole but it was a it was a legendary you're like

it's like the well the garden they redid it's still the garden but like when you were in the old Yankee Stadium it was just it was a different feeling I rarely ever saw

the Indians play there so I was always just a neutral fan. It was always something special. It was awesome. Shea Stadium, though, my only good memory, I might be making this up, I saw Barry Bonds hit a home run over the scoreboard.

He might not have hit it over the scoreboard. It's a famous Barry Bonds home run. It was a mammoth shot. I know that Mo Vaughn at Shea Stadium hit one off the top of the scoreboard, and it was like 505 feet or something. So if it went over the scoreboard we're talking like 530. That's just nuts.

In your brain, it's fine. I missed two Fenway stories quick for me. I saw Omar Vizquel steal home at Fenway once. That was wild. Off of who? I forget who it was. It was a long time ago.

Stuck in traffic. Train got in late and missed either Tomey. I don't think it was. It was a long time ago. And then stuck in traffic. Train got in late and missed either Tomi. I don't think it was Lofton. I'm pretty sure it was Tomi, my favorite player growing up. He had two homers. His family missed them both. Got there late. Yikes.

Sad. But now Ellie is a baseball girl. I am. And I think I might adopt the Mets, too, because I might have been their good luck charm last time. No, she can't adopt the Red Sox. I'm not advocating for the Red Sox. I'm not advocating for the Red Sox. I couldn't

be a Red Sox fan because my dad would kill me. Give it some time before you just... She sat behind home plate last night. I mean, you were on the first row behind home plate, which is casual. Which, I mean, not a big deal. Why the Mets? And why would your dad not approve of the Red Sox? Because he's a Yankees fan.

My dad hates the Red Sox. Your mom hates Tom Brady, right? My parents both do. Yeah, because I think I tweeted about Tom Brady at one point. My dad's from here. He grew up in Brooklyn. All right, well, all I'm saying is maybe, you know, if you go into the puppy store,

you don't just pick out the first puppy that you pick up. Well, I'm that kind of person. Petch some other puppies. Hey, this is the kind of kind of person. She's allowed to be a fan of whoever she wants. I would pick the puppy that I feel like no one wants to adopt, and I feel like the Mets are kind of that team. That's fair. And she lives in New York, too.

So it's like... But again, the Mets thing goes back to what I was saying about, like, if I were just to pick the Islanders, the Blues, you know, team, or like the Caps last year, it's tough, because then, you know, it depends the level of how much... You should pick a team like the Rangers. But no one is picking the Mets willingly. Everyone that's tough because then, you know, it depends the level of how much you should pick a team like the Rangers. But no one is picking the Mets willingly.

Everyone that's a Mets fan is like, yeah, my dad was a Mets fan, my grandfather was a Mets fan, so now I'm a Mets fan. Look, this was just my first baseball game, but I grew up in Chicago and was never like a Cubs fan. So like, I feel like I could have been like a bandwagon fan a long time ago. You can like the Cubs now. They already won. So now you just like. Now I can like them.

Yeah. You don't slide in before all that. No, I just feel like I was a good luck charm last night, and it wouldn't be fair of me to not appreciate. I mean, they won really a lot. True. If you are a good luck charm and they win, then you are embraced.

Yes. She texted me last night, and she was like, Casey, I think I like baseball. And I was like, this is great news. She's coming out of the closet. Don't tell anybody. Yeah, I mean, it did. It felt like she was telling me she was a lesbian. I used a lot of ellipses. I was like, dot is great news. She's coming out of the closet. Don't tell anybody. Yeah, I mean, it did. It felt like she was telling me she was a lesbian. I used a lot of ellipses.

I was like, dot, dot, dot, Casey. It was a bonding moment for us because we have such different interests. Every time that she decides she likes sports, it's a big deal. Did a foul ball hit the net? Did you flinch? Of course I flinched. Every time. Even if it was like all the way to the side. Jared, do you flinch?

I am on record not flinching. He is on record not. But I mean, foul ball coming right at my fucking face. It's very scary. I stared down.

Did it hit you? I mean, that's what I figured. If a ball hits you in the face, can you sue them? No. can they give you an O's job? Your ticket is like

an agreed contract. Like it says on the back, like if you're sitting in the stadium and like you get hit. That's true. There's people who have sued that like almost died. There are people who have actually died.

Yeah. Yeah. Then they, they do all the netting around the league. Remember that one year they, they really like, they're like, all right, we're putting nets up. Like, yeah. Extended to first, which also like we've had, I thought it was a hot take at the time, but it's actually kind of not.

There's a discussion about extending the nets and how it provides a false sense of security because within the first week, there was a ball that went through the net and hit someone in the face. Oh, my God. So it's like, all right, yeah, there's a net there, but I still have to be cognizant of my surroundings because this ball could just come through the net

and smash me in the face. Did you come close to getting hit by a foul ball? Have I? No. Well, unless that was last night, Ellie, I'm not sure you would have. Nope. Someone just sent me the video of me almost getting a foul ball, and it haunts me to this day. Have you never got one?

Never. Yeah, I mean, I've not been to near as many baseball games as you, but I used to go a lot back in the day. Closest I got, Vladimir Guerrero took a shot, almost killed me and my dad at spring training, and it ricocheted just over my head, and I missed it. I'm no Zach Hample, put it that way. Would you rather get hit in the face with a baseball or a hockey puck?

Baseball. But what's, I mean. But like, what is it, you throwing it at my face right here? No, no. Slapshot and a line drive. In a game. I think a hockey puck, it flies at a higher velocity. And like, it's a weird shape.

Like, it'll fuck you up. I feel like a hockey puck is scarier. I had a. Definitely not. I's a weird shape. It'll fuck you up. I feel like a hockey puck is scarier. It's definitely not. I had a cousin get... I mean, honestly, flip a fucking coin at that point. I mean, they both would suck to get here. You're probably going to die. And it's cold.

You're probably dying either way. That's a good point. It's cold, so it's harder. I don't know if that's a... In the head, it's definitely not harder. Things hurt worse when they're cold. Yeah, baseball's still harder. I had a little cousin get hit in the face by a puck when we were young,

and she still had all her baby teeth, so it wasn't like she knocked out her adult teeth. But she didn't have teeth for like two years. Oh, my God. It was her baby teeth. Yeah, big time pass. So, yeah, so big sports fan, Ellie. Yes.

So now I have to ask you, because I asked you this about, you said that your parents used to drag you to football games. Yeah. So you're out on football. Well, it was like college football and well be careful i might cancel our friendship but no no well we did go to a couple northwestern iowa my parents both went to iowa oh okay and like i just didn't care about it know that oh yeah trent knows that we've talked about iowa i go to iowa all the time but no yeah i just for me like i was 9 10 11 then i was like in high school and i was just

like would rather be anywhere but with my parents you know like when you're like 16 um and a dick um i i just i feel like if i watched one now maybe i'd enjoy it more we can we'll take a trip down to college station kinnick is cool we should take her yeah oh i was i say we like you're coming too because you're a texas guy i do i yeah i'm. I prefer the Aggies over the Longhorns. I don't. You don't know shit. Yeah, I do. Roger Clemens was a Longhorn, therefore I am a Longhorn. We're talking about football.

That's a good reason. We're talking about colleges. Well, whatever. The contention. Yeah, he just doesn't know what he's talking about. But we'll take you to an A&M or just a big time college football game. I'm coming to the Penn State game this year. The Michigan Penn State game. Oh, yeah?

If we go there? Take me to a game. I assume you're going to go. I might enjoy it. So the college football show is going to be back. We don't know exactly where we're going to go. But I mapped out. Oh, I'm so excited.

And Brandon Walker's in here. And he's a big SEC guy. By the way, like, he's awesome. I don't know if you guys have talked to him. He's very tall. Very tall. Actually, I was going to ask if he can dunk. Une don't know if you guys have talked to him yet. He's very tall. Very tall. Actually, I was going to ask if he can dunk. Unexpectedly tall.

You've got to ask tall people if they can dunk. That's the first thing you've got to ask them. Yeah, I didn't ask him that. We were talking about football and I asked him if he'd ever been in New York and he was like, no, this place is a shit show. And I'm like, yeah, you're from Tupelo

or you live in Tupelo, Mississippi. However, whenever we have the college football show, you should come along, along la to one of them especially if we go to the penn state game yeah it'll be the white house penn state michigan game you'll like it i feel like i wouldn't be allowed because i have nothing to contribute what i know i you would probably this is one of those things where you'd probably have to like yeah not not miss any not miss any school days you know you can't miss any school can't miss any uh blogging but then you're just all of a sudden, then you're just like, oh, I just happened to be at Penn State this week.

How funny. How funny. So are you guys. Yeah, I'm trying to go. That's on my list. I'm going to be there regardless. Actually, that's a stupid thing for me to say. I'm going to be there.

Which is whether you're going to be. I mapped out where I think we should go. There's a lot of great college football this year. I'm just going to point that out. But that's beside the point. We don't even talk about that. Penn State's going to stink, though. You're a hater. I have an open mind here. I'm not an Aggies hater.

If you had to pick a favorite college football team right now, who would you pick? Texas because of Roger Clemens? Yeah. You gave him that. Or TCU? Ole Miss? Drew Pomeranz? Drew Pomeranz? By the way, what a fucking pitching matchup at 4 o'clock today. Drew Pomeranz.

So we are talking about the Red Sox. Is on the Giants. Drew Pomeranz versus Clay Buchholz. Holy fuck. That's like a grudge. That is a grudge. And Pablo Sandoval is on the Giants. So we're going to see Clay Bucholtz. Holy fuck. That's like a grudge. That is a grudge. And Pablo Sandoval is on the Giants. So we're going to see Clay Buckholtz.

What are you going to do? Like, what's your hate blog going to be like? I'm going to just be locked in. Like, I have never been, because the Red Sox sucks so much, I've never been more excited for a game than Drew Pomeranz versus Clay Buckholtz. Hammer that first thing over. With Pablo Sandoval.

Who do you hate the most out of those three? Pablo. You hate him the most? Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. I said I would only come out of Rough and Rowdy Challenge retirement if Pablo Sandoval wanted to fight me. I would fight him in two seconds. Who's second?

Because last year, have you and Drew Pomeranz ever gotten into it on social media? He blocked me, but I've never tagged him gotten into it on social media? He blocked me, but I've never tagged him in anything. It was weird. He like blocked me. I mean, he knows that you're an asshole. I got blocked by Joe Hayden.

Not an asshole. Never tweeted about him. He just sucks. I'm blocked by the honey badger, Tyron Matthews. Well, I never tweeted. That's weird.

That's a weird one. I've never tweeted it. I mean, I shit on the Browns all the time on Twitter. I've never tweeted about him. I, I can, I guess maybe I've said something wrong against LSU at some point, but I know

I have never tweeted about him. Ever. What a game. So I thought Drew Pomerantz and you got into it on social media, but I guess I was wrong. No, no, no. He just blocked me preemptively. Clay Buchholz. He blocked you when he was still in Boston? Oh, yeah. And then Clay Buchholz. Former Indian, Drew Pomerantz. Clay Buchholz hates me. Big time.

Really? That I didn't know. Where were we when his friends were telling me, telling me how much they hate you? The World Series. It was? Oh, no, but it was at, like, a bar, right? World Series. They, like, out of nowhere were like, by the way, Clay Buckles hates you. Yeah, but I knew that.

I know, but I didn't. It's like, for his friends to randomly tell you that, he really hates you. I love that. Yeah, there are other back channel stories that got back to me about how much he hates me. I told you, his wife confronted me at Fenway one time. Oh, no. That's right. Not good.

So you hate him second or third? I don't hate him. That's the thing. I was very mean to him because he sucked. I don't hate him as a person. I have no... You just hate Pablo Sandoval as a person. I hate Pablo Sandoval on every level that you can hate a human being.

So what's the hate blog going to look like today? Depends on how the game goes. I mean, I'm going to just cover the shit out of this game. I'm going to be Is that four? Yeah, I'm going to be live. I almost want to live stream it. You should. Electric chair? Yeah. Electric chair, the Jared Carabas hate bowl. Yeah, I said this

before. Had I known what I know now about Clay Buchholz and his relationships with different players and stuff, I probably would have treated him much differently. But he was an easy punching bag at a time where when you're in Boston, it's like you're expected to be negative. If you're on TV and radio, they want you to be negative.

And that's how you earn your stripes with your peers is you got to be critical of the team. Fuck you, dude. So like Clay Buckholz was an easy punching bag because he sucked. Well, that was kind of like when I was there. David Price was that guy, Jared. Yeah, but David Price is actually good. Yeah, but David Price, when I was there, was a real asshole.

No, I mean, yeah. David Price, depending on what day you talk to him, is still a real asshole. Yeah. I got in trouble for actually saying the word asshole on television about David Price. As a matter of fact, really can't do that. Oh yeah.

But in Boston, you're right in Boston, they want you to be, they want you to be negative and they want you to come after people. And it's like, yeah, I mean like Clay Buckles, that's an easy one.

I can do that. You can't, you can't say I'm not critical of the team if I'm like always shitting on Clay Buckles. So that's what I did. But he sucked. If you, if you don't want me to come at you then

be better. Drew Pomerantz doesn't have a win this year does he? I have no idea. I don't think that he does. I'm excited just to watch Jared just get angry. Drew Pomerantz does not have a win. He does not have a win. He is Clay Buckle. What a fucking day. Alright well

that's all Jared cares about. Maybe you can get Ellie to watch it with you, now that she's a baseball girl. I don't think I've ever said it. I've never personally attacked Drew Pomerantz. You might like Drew Pomerantz. She might like Drew Pomerantz. Is he cute? Pomerantz?

Yeah. I described Drew Pomerantz one time as his facial expression constantly looks like a father that came home from work and has to explain to his kids that the dog died. Oh, God. I liked where you were going with it at first, and then I didn't like where you were going. Can you repeat that one more time before we go to break? His facial expression

constantly looks like a father who just got home from work and has to explain to his kids that the dog just died. What? You're not incorrect. I mean, you're not incorrect. Now you know what? Every time I look at all this, it's Pete. That's what I'm going to think. We're just getting started here on CCK. Who knows where we'll go. We'll take your calls as well. 833-857-8665.

We'll be right back after the break. Hockey gal. Um, and you've already picked the Mets. Well, I well i'm i'm it's up to consideration she hasn't committed to the mess i'm dating the mess okay you're dating the mess it's early stages we have we definitely need to give you a an nba playoff team i've been on one date with the mets okay yeah but it was a really, really good date to be fair. Made me want a second date. Do you want people to pick a football team yet or do you want to wait for football season? Well, okay.

So there's two kinds of football. Yeah. They're college and NFL. Yes. And I don't really have either. I mean, my dad's a Giants fan and my parents are Iowa fans. Your dad's a Giants fan? Yeah.

Is he mad right now? Very, very mad. Big time mad? Big time. Do you know who he wants them to draft at number six? I do not know. I need to know this answer. Can you text him?

Dad? Mom, I know you're listening. Yeah. Hi, Mom. Shout out to Ellie's mom. I love her. Shout out Ellie's mom. She is a delight.

We need to know who Ellie's dad wants them to draft at number six. I know what most people are saying, but I'm not going to say it because I want you to. We're already getting calls on. Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Let's take some. I'm going to text my mom, but I'm not going to say it because I want you to... We're already getting calls on... Okay, wait, wait, wait. Let's take some. I'm going to text my mom in case she's not listening. Okay, yeah. Let's take some calls. She's definitely listening. What's dad's preference for the number six overall pick for the Giants?

Number six overall. All right, let's rattle off some calls. We've got like three minutes before break. All right, fine. This is going to be a terrible suggestion but eric i think wants to pitch the jets eric i hey what's up jared uh yeah ellie i need to go like what's up i was gonna say like it says really and the oh you're from Philly. He's talking to me, okay? I'm letting him talk. Okay, so you're like so nice and sweet where Dave is just like that mean person.

So I want you to take the Jets. So as the Patriots start to come down, you're going to be that like, look at me, the Jets are coming up. So you could have that. They have a young quarterback that you could go date. A lot of good things could happen. I think the Jets is your football team. Eric, thanks for the call. You do not want to pick the Jets. things could happen. I think the Jets is your football team. Go date. Eric, thanks for the call.

You do not want to pick the Jets. I'm not going to be a Jets. Here's my suggestion for you. If you're not going to pick Boston sports teams, do not pick a Boston rival because you do not want to be in Jets. I don't want that crossfire. I don't want that smoke. But unless, going back to it,

unless you pick Philadelphia because you have a crew to attach yourself to. You don't want to be. I don't want to be alone. Although, I guess if you're with the Jets, you're with Kevin. Which is also bad. You don't want to align yourself with any of Kevin's sports teams, and you don't want to align yourself with any of Dave's enemies. And with the Jets, you're doing both of those things with one team.

Okay, so I'm not going to be a Jets fan. Thank you for your call, though. But her dad's a Giants fan.'m not going to be a Jets fan. Thank you for your call, though. But her dad's a Giants fan. She wouldn't have been a Jets fan. Yeah, I wouldn't have been. That would have been too much for my dad. That's the number one reason. She can't do that to her dad. You need to take your parents' sports allegiances out. Listen, my dad is my best friend. I'm going to take that seriously.

If she became a Jets fan, that would be like bringing home literally the last person on the planet to meet her dad. That he would want her to do. Yeah, my dad would barely want to meet you. Or a Cowboys.

If you became a Cowboys fan, that would be tough. You don't want to do that. Your dad would probably be stoked to meet me. No, because you're a Red Sox fan. Doesn't matter. Your mom would be like, he's very nice. He's charming. All they would have to do is listen to about 30 minutes of this radio show.

And I can tell you Ellie's dad would not want you to come home with her. Why does he, does he not like the way that I talked to Casey Smith? Cause I talked to Ellie, like she's a sweet, respectful young woman. What about all the hotel room conversations and all the stories that you tell? You think that she wants,

Oh, I don't want to hear that, but my mom, those are completely unrelated. You think that her dad would want to sit at like the Christmas table and be like, Oh my God. Great call.

Great call. We don't have very long tom wants to sell you on my milwaukee brewers talk let's do this all right so brewers obviously um close trip from uh chicago when you go home goes to some games also uh yeah christian yellich Gonna have a lot of fun with this guy For the next couple years Great team They're not really hopping on any sort of bandwagon right now He'll be in the office this week We can recruit you this week

He's gonna do it He looks like Pete Davidson a little Yeah, he'll be here in a couple days I mean, he'll be here tomorrow Is he single? Yeah, he is Yeah, and it's also just fun to hate on the Cubs So when you're a Brewers fan, you can do lots of that.

I also wanted to tell you on the Packers, but if we're just doing MLB right now, that's cool. All right, Tom, thanks for the call. We'll be right back with more of you picking Ellie's team.
