Transcript

00:00:20.000 Live from New York, it's Get Off My Lawn with Kevin McGuinness.
00:00:27.000 Hey guys, this is spring training here in Port St. Lucie.
00:00:30.000 Dave was just saying that there's a bad shadow in this shot, which is a good name for a metal band.
00:00:35.000 If you're starting out and you're, you know, you're just four kids in your garage and you want to make it, don't get into baseball.
00:00:42.000 You're not good enough.
00:00:42.000 But start a band and call that band Bad Shadow.
00:00:50.000 Oh, ish.
00:00:53.000 Nice.
00:00:54.000 Did you get that?
00:00:57.000 They're good at doing their diving catches, these guys.
00:01:01.000 The Houston Astros.
00:01:03.000 I have to cover the mic here because it's quite windy.
00:01:06.000 Welcome back, folks.
00:01:07.000 We're in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
00:01:09.000 We are watching the Houston Astros play the Mets.
00:01:13.000 And I don't even know the score.
00:01:15.000 Someone recognized me up there and started buying me beers.
00:01:17.000 And we've been watching my son run up and down here and try to catch balls.
00:01:21.000 And he did a pretty good job.
00:01:23.000 I mean, he didn't catch a ball, but he did play catch with Jay Bruce back and forth.
00:01:30.000 And we met a woman earlier who was mad.
00:01:35.000 Some old-timers, old New Yorkers, were pissed off about the lack of attention they're getting from the players as far as autographs go and stuff.
00:01:44.000 And I thought, that sounds reasonable.
00:01:47.000 Well, here, let's talk to them now.
00:01:49.000 How you doing?
00:01:50.000 I'm doing fantastic.
00:01:51.000 How long have you loved baseball?
00:01:52.000 I don't love baseball no more after a couple of days being here.
00:01:56.000 All the sports fans, they don't come and say hello to the kids.
00:01:58.000 They like, we support them.
00:02:00.000 And you know what?
00:02:01.000 They don't support us.
00:02:02.000 You could do it some more love from the players.
00:02:04.000 Oh, without a doubt.
00:02:05.000 Without a big, big time, big time.
00:02:07.000 And here's another young lady.
00:02:08.000 I would tell you the story, too.
00:02:10.000 Really?
00:02:11.000 How long have you been waiting here to get your ball signed?
00:02:13.000 I've been here for three days and haven't gotten hardly two players to sign my ball.
00:02:18.000 Three days.
00:02:19.000 Two players?
00:02:20.000 Who were the two players?
00:02:21.000 Well, Ron Darling, which he is now no longer a player, and Wheeler.
00:02:26.000 Those are the only two.
00:02:27.000 That's it.
00:02:28.000 How many hours would you say you've been waiting for autographs?
00:02:31.000 Only 30, 20, 20, 40 until like 5 o'clock at night when it's over, 4.30, 5 o'clock.
00:02:36.000 And you've been let down?
00:02:37.000 Oh, let down.
00:02:38.000 Not for me.
00:02:39.000 There was a little child here, and he was waving to the baseball player, and the baseball player just blew the ball.
00:02:45.000 Blue him away.
00:02:46.000 That's the worst.
00:02:47.000 And this is supposed to be We really do.
00:02:51.000 If we don't pay the bill, it won't be it.
00:02:54.000 Right.
00:02:54.000 And you know what?
00:02:55.000 Me?
00:02:56.000 I'm done.
00:02:57.000 You're done with baseball because of the treatment the past few days.
00:03:00.000 The way they are.
00:03:01.000 Wow.
00:03:02.000 I would never, never put a dime to that door because of my son.
00:03:07.000 I'm done.
00:03:07.000 You know, this is about sports.
00:03:09.000 It's about the children.
00:03:10.000 It's about being a, what's the word I want to use?
00:03:15.000 Mentor?
00:03:16.000 Yeah, a big mentor for the kids.
00:03:17.000 That's what they look up to.
00:03:18.000 And that's what they do.
00:03:19.000 They treat people like that because they make money.
00:03:22.000 It's not about that.
00:03:24.000 It's about spirit.
00:03:25.000 Yeah, it is a gentleman.
00:03:28.000 I think the big thing would be if they had like every half hour send two or three players out.
00:03:32.000 It would be a nice job.
00:03:33.000 That's a huge deal.
00:03:34.000 And that would keep it.
00:03:35.000 There's not that many people here.
00:03:36.000 We're not hard to satisfy.
00:03:38.000 Just bring a guy out, one guy, we'll get our balls signed and go home.
00:03:41.000 There aren't a lot of people here right now is because people are getting so disappointed because they're not signing.
00:03:47.000 Years ago, when I came here, when Mike Piazza was playing, the players were just walking around and you could go up and get their autograph with no problem at all.
00:03:58.000 So they're pissed, those New Yorkers.
00:04:01.000 And I took them seriously at the time, but I don't know.
00:04:04.000 My son had, he's nine years old.
00:04:06.000 Jacob deGrom threw him a ball.
00:04:09.000 What's his name?
00:04:10.000 Nimmo signed a ball for him.
00:04:14.000 When he was over here, right over there.
00:04:18.000 Actually, you can go show him right now.
00:04:19.000 Turn the camera over there.
00:04:23.000 He's over there by the St. Lucie Mets sign.
00:04:27.000 And Jay Bruce was in the outfield, and he said, do you want to throw a ball around?
00:04:31.000 And him and Jay Bruce threw the ball around.
00:04:34.000 And the people who work in the concession stands said, because he missed a ball that came out during batting practice.
00:04:40.000 BP, they call it.
00:04:42.000 And they said, did you get a ball?
00:04:44.000 And he said, well, I missed a ball.
00:04:46.000 And they went and got him a ball from a game.
00:04:49.000 So I'm having second thoughts about that lady who was pissed off.
00:04:52.000 I think that these players are sort of jaded when it comes to old people.
00:04:58.000 I mean, she's a, what, a 65-year-old woman?
00:05:01.000 I don't know if she really deserves to have a ball signed.
00:05:03.000 A lot of these people put it right up on eBay.
00:05:06.000 And isn't that just instantly diluting your signature?
00:05:11.000 And if you dilute your signature, aren't you hurting the kids who have signatures?
00:05:16.000 Andrew W.K. used to do this.
00:05:17.000 He would sit there and sign autographs for hours, like all night.
00:05:24.000 And I go, Andrew, I don't care about diluting signatures, but I go, Andrew, that's kind of gay to sit there signing autographs for hours and hours and hours.
00:05:34.000 It doesn't really make sense.
00:05:36.000 It's like your own megalomania.
00:05:39.000 You didn't understand what I'm talking about because he's a weirdo.
00:05:41.000 But Joe Rogan does that too, with all due respect to Mr. Rogan.
00:05:45.000 After his show, he'll sit and pose for selfies for maybe three hours.
00:05:49.000 I don't know.
00:05:50.000 That seems queer to me.
00:05:51.000 But anyway, it's a totally different story in baseball.
00:05:53.000 And I remember I went to see Sarah Silverman once.
00:05:56.000 I was trying to get in her pants, actually, at the time.
00:05:58.000 And she did a comedy show, and her mom or her aunt came up to her with this huge pile of flyers, like, you know, pamphlets, whatever, the folded 8.5 by 11 thing for her show.
00:06:13.000 And she said, can you sign this?
00:06:16.000 And Sarah goes, wait, why?
00:06:17.000 And she goes, well, it's for your cousin or whatever.
00:06:20.000 He sells them on eBay.
00:06:22.000 And she goes, it's the only job he has.
00:06:26.000 No.
00:06:27.000 I'm not doing that.
00:06:28.000 Who's that guy who stopped doing autographs?
00:06:31.000 Tom Stever stopped doing autographs.
00:06:34.000 And what that did was, that made the kids who got his autograph, that made their autographs more valuable.
00:06:42.000 So that was actually a cool thing that he did.
00:06:45.000 So we showed that woman bitching, and I totally support her position, and I have no problem giving those people a platform, as the progressives would say.
00:06:55.000 But I think she's right.
00:06:57.000 I think those guys are right not to give 65-year-old women signed balls.
00:07:00.000 You're clearly not in it just for the love of the game.
00:07:04.000 What, does a grandma have a bunch of signed balls on her mantle?
00:07:08.000 No, my son does.
00:07:10.000 And my son is drowning in balls.
00:07:12.000 In fact, one thing I would say to you if you're coming to spring training, bring a bunch of plastic bags, like sandwich bags, and a bunch of pieces of paper, right?
00:07:20.000 And then you write down, degrom threw this to my boy in the morning at spring training on this date.
00:07:27.000 And you put that in the bag, and now you've got that one.
00:07:30.000 We've had crumpled up pieces of newspaper to separate the different balls.
00:07:34.000 Also, if you remember on yesterday's show, I was talking about how there's a lot of chicks interested in the Mets.
00:07:40.000 These are the chicks that I was thinking of when I said that.
00:07:43.000 Who's that in your shirt?
00:07:45.000 This is Ken.
00:07:46.000 His pants are coming down.
00:07:48.000 He had a rough day yesterday.
00:07:49.000 Rum boom.
00:07:50.000 Too many rum buckets.
00:07:52.000 Where are you guys from?
00:07:53.000 New York.
00:07:53.000 Where in New York?
00:07:54.000 I'm from Long Island, and so are they.
00:07:57.000 You know, I've noticed with Mets fans, first of all, a lot of them seem to be female, but a lot of them are better looking than other Teams fans.
00:08:04.000 Have you noticed that?
00:08:05.000 No, not me.
00:08:07.000 You know why I think it is?
00:08:09.000 Because Mets fans are from Long Island and Queens and Brooklyn, and those girls, as we saw in King of Queens, they tend to keep going, you know?
00:08:16.000 Like they try.
00:08:18.000 They don't have the short hair and the Crocs.
00:08:22.000 No Crocs.
00:08:23.000 No Crocs, yeah.
00:08:24.000 I bet when I come tune back in, when you guys are like 45, you'll still have long hair and wear heels.
00:08:29.000 I'm 45.
00:08:31.000 I'm 49, but pretty much.
00:08:33.000 Same area.
00:08:34.000 It's 45 in some environments.
00:08:37.000 What do you think is going to happen this year?
00:08:38.000 Do you think we're going to make it to the World Series?
00:08:40.000 Yes, definitely.
00:08:41.000 Why?
00:08:42.000 The pitching.
00:08:43.000 And I don't think that they're going to get as hurt as they did last year.
00:08:46.000 That's what everyone here has said without exception.
00:08:48.000 They go, it's all about health, and if we can avoid being injured, we're going to win.
00:08:52.000 Oh, yeah, absolutely.
00:08:53.000 They have an amazing lineup.
00:08:54.000 So I think they have a chance, at least.
00:08:56.000 That's why we've been doing bad.
00:08:58.000 Because we've been getting injured.
00:08:59.000 In a way, we're better than other teams because we've been doing okay with all these injuries.
00:09:04.000 I agree.
00:09:05.000 Especially, I mean, not for anything.
00:09:06.000 Like last year, Confordo got hurt swinging the bat.
00:09:10.000 Like, who gets hurt swinging a bat?
00:09:11.000 Like, so I think that won't besides you.
00:09:14.000 I don't like seeing them run like right here.
00:09:16.000 I go, you could have twisted your ankle.
00:09:17.000 I keep saying, I want you to have a box set of the Sopranos, be in a hot tub.
00:09:21.000 Here's some Haagen-Daz.
00:09:22.000 And I'll see you on March 27th.
00:09:25.000 Like that Haagen-Daz?
00:09:27.000 You like that you put on You Got Mail and just munch down that mint chocolate chip?
00:09:32.000 I love mint chocolate chip.
00:09:34.000 It really is the greatest flavor, isn't it?
00:09:35.000 Because you feel like it's good for you because it's minty, so it's like refreshing.
00:09:39.000 And the chocolate's just a kick.
00:09:41.000 Chocolate's just like a little, hey, what's going on?
00:09:43.000 Want some chocolate?
00:09:45.000 See what I mean?
00:09:47.000 I mean, they're not supermodels, whatever, but they're very attractive, healthy young ladies who seem happy with their femininity.
00:09:55.000 You know, all these bulldykes and these feminists with the blue hair and the disgusting shoes and the men's clothes and the used cardigans, they are not representative of much of Middle America and not representative of Brooklyn.
00:10:12.000 So when you see, as I said, in the King of Queens, Leah Romini, that's sort of the normal chick.
00:10:17.000 Like they care.
00:10:19.000 I want my boy to hook up eventually when he's ready to get married with a southern bell.
00:10:23.000 Southern Belle, Long Island Jew or Italian, or a Latina.
00:10:30.000 Latinas, they wear high-heeled shoes well into their 40s and 50s.
00:10:34.000 I actually had a guy, his name was, uh-oh.
00:10:38.000 Oh, no.
00:10:40.000 What was his name?
00:10:41.000 Rabbit Hunter.
00:10:43.000 Vito Canigliari.
00:10:45.000 Canigliari is rabbit hunter in Italian, I think.
00:10:50.000 He had this gouma, you know, like a mistress.
00:10:52.000 His father's guma.
00:10:54.000 Sorry, I'm getting the name wrong.
00:10:56.000 But she, he was a, he owned a bunch of apartments.
00:10:58.000 He was a poor Sicilian guy who came to America as an orphan.
00:11:01.000 And he had to look after his dad's guma's apartment.
00:11:06.000 And she lived in Soho.
00:11:07.000 She paid $300 a month.
00:11:09.000 She had a radio that she listened to that had bulbs.
00:11:13.000 You know, like the tube things, a tube transistor.
00:11:15.000 And he had to go buy new tubes because her radio was running out.
00:11:22.000 I don't know how I got there.
00:11:24.000 Let's focus here.
00:11:24.000 Let's talk to...
00:11:31.000 Let's talk to Steve, one of the biggest nerds on earth in this football scene.
00:11:36.000 I'm not disparaging him in any way.
00:11:37.000 It's actually fascinating to talk to him.
00:11:38.000 And I like quizzing him and asking him, you know, who won what World Series.
00:11:43.000 But let's just talk to him about the Mets and my previous favorite team, the Expos.
00:11:50.000 How are you feeling about this season?
00:11:52.000 Great.
00:11:53.000 As long as we stay healthy, as long as Harvey's throwing the ball great so far this year, he threw the big ball great again yesterday.
00:11:58.000 Syndegaard, you know, Matz, DeGrum.
00:12:02.000 If these guys are healthy, you know, Lugo, what's his name?
00:12:07.000 I can't think of his.
00:12:08.000 He has an MAN on the end.
00:12:09.000 I can't think of his last name.
00:12:11.000 But anyway, Robert Gazellman.
00:12:14.000 If these guys stay healthy, honestly, we're not going to have to have that much offense.
00:12:18.000 And I think we've got enough to have a really solid year.
00:12:21.000 Possibly win the division or at least get a wild card.
00:12:23.000 Yeah, I agree with you, and that seems to be the common thread here.
00:12:26.000 Everyone says health is what matters, which means that training was the problem last year.
00:12:32.000 Over training, I think.
00:12:34.000 We wore these guys out.
00:12:36.000 Definitely.
00:12:36.000 And since 2015, when we made the World Series, let's face it, the year after the World Series, we were very fortunate just to even make the playoffs when we lost a one-game playoff to the Giants and Bumgarner on the home run by who was at Connor Galepsy.
00:12:48.000 Whoever heard of a Connor Galepsy?
00:12:50.000 But then the next year, then the next year it was like, you know, again, injuries.
00:12:54.000 The Mets have been so injury plagued throughout their whole, since I've been rooting for them in September.
00:12:57.000 I blame one guy.
00:12:58.000 It's the trainer.
00:12:59.000 Absolutely.
00:13:00.000 I don't know who the trainer is.
00:13:02.000 Back in the 60s and 70s, it was Tom McKenna.
00:13:04.000 I don't know who it is now, but they definitely, you're right, I agree with you.
00:13:07.000 They definitely need to have better training so that these guys aren't getting injured every time they turn around.
00:13:13.000 Here's a controversial idea I've been bringing up to people.
00:13:15.000 How about no training?
00:13:18.000 Maybe that's the best thing.
00:13:19.000 You're in the MLB.
00:13:21.000 Like, you can throw a fastball at 100 miles an hour.
00:13:24.000 What are we going to do?
00:13:24.000 Train you to get that up to 102?
00:13:27.000 Right.
00:13:27.000 Either you can or you can't.
00:13:28.000 I know.
00:13:29.000 It's overkill.
00:13:30.000 You could train you and I for three years non-stop.
00:13:33.000 We might get up to like 80.
00:13:36.000 But if you're up at 100, you're a magic freak superhero like Aquaman, and we don't need to train you anymore.
00:13:43.000 This whole thing is a lie.
00:13:46.000 Yeah, it's probably more here for the money for the owners and for us, the fans.
00:13:52.000 That's really, you know.
00:13:53.000 Unfortunately, the game isn't now what it was when the Mets were playing in an out-lying field in St. Petersburg.
00:13:58.000 It's obviously not the same.
00:13:59.000 I mean, since 88, whatever, since the 90s, since I think Marvin Miller got it all started, George, I call him George Slimesley's scumbrother from the Yankees and Gino Autri and Buzzy Bovesi, and Donald Fear after Marvin Miller.
00:14:12.000 They ruined the game.
00:14:12.000 They really did.
00:14:13.000 It's now obviously just a business.
00:14:15.000 It's like all these sports.
00:14:16.000 It's just a business.
00:14:17.000 I hate to say it, but it's not like what it used to be.
00:14:19.000 Well, you get these baseball fans now who recognize that and they don't care about teams.
00:14:24.000 These hyper nerds that just go, this guy has an RBI and we're going to watch him.
00:14:28.000 Oh, he's pleased in the Pirates now and they'll follow players and stuff.
00:14:31.000 They've sort of lost the whole team spirit.
00:14:33.000 But you haven't lost the team spirit.
00:14:35.000 Right down to your socks.
00:14:36.000 Yeah, I got the socks.
00:14:38.000 I got to get actually the Mets shoes, but I got the jersey.
00:14:40.000 I got the shirts for last year.
00:14:41.000 I got the wristbands.
00:14:43.000 Well, the Steelers are my football team, so that's one thing that's a little off kilter here today.
00:14:47.000 Yeah, that's got to change.
00:14:48.000 We've got to get you a Mets watch.
00:14:49.000 Definitely.
00:14:50.000 It'll go a little way out so we'll go on the rest of the program.
00:14:53.000 But yeah, I mean, you're from Canada.
00:14:55.000 Were you an Expos fan?
00:14:57.000 Yeah, yeah, I was.
00:14:58.000 They were my second favorite team.
00:14:59.000 Remember the days they had Rusty Staub?
00:15:01.000 Oh, yeah.
00:15:02.000 The three guys they traded for Rusty Staub, Tim Foley, Ken Singleton, and Mike Jorgensen.
00:15:06.000 I'll never forget it.
00:15:07.000 Just like when we traded Gary Carter from you guys, and we traded it away for Huby Brooks, Mike Fitzgerald, Floyd Yeomans, and Hubie Brooks, Floyd Yeomans, Mike Fitzgerald, and who was the other guy?
00:15:19.000 There was one other guy.
00:15:22.000 Herm Winningham.
00:15:22.000 Herm Winningham.
00:15:23.000 Yep, those four guys for Carter.
00:15:25.000 So, I mean, but I mean, they were my second favorite team.
00:15:27.000 I got the original Expo.
00:15:28.000 Great team.
00:15:28.000 Montreal was five bucks a seat.
00:15:30.000 You'd go down.
00:15:32.000 It was Montreal.
00:15:33.000 Yeah, they deserved to have a baseball team back again.
00:15:35.000 I got a couple of Expo's jackets, and I got the original Expo's yearbook, and I used to go to Olympic Stadium, not Jerry Park, but Olympic Stadium.
00:15:42.000 And they definitely should be getting baseball back in Montreal.
00:15:45.000 They deserve it.
00:15:46.000 He was the second best mascot after Mr. Met, UP.
00:15:48.000 That's right.
00:15:49.000 I got the UB mascot at home.
00:15:50.000 I got it in Montreal.
00:15:51.000 Yes, I do.
00:15:52.000 Yeah, like I said, they were my second favorite team.
00:15:54.000 Remember, they had Kleon Jones, his brother, Mac Jones, and Coco LaBoy, Bill Stolman, Steve Renko.
00:16:00.000 Oh, you know your expos.
00:16:01.000 Yeah, yeah, I know my expos.
00:16:02.000 Yeah, John Bateman was the catcher.
00:16:04.000 John Bacabela, the other catcher.
00:16:07.000 Remember him?
00:16:08.000 Yeah, right?
00:16:08.000 And then all this Carl Morton, the other pitcher they had.
00:16:11.000 And, you know, I followed him pretty close, actually.
00:16:15.000 And I just felt really bad that they lost the team because in 94, when basically these guys flung the finger at us, the fans, that's when, I mean, they had the best record in baseball.
00:16:25.000 They were headed to the World Series and probably would have beat the Yankees in the World Series.
00:16:29.000 At least I would like to think that.
00:16:31.000 And they would have probably have been there.
00:16:33.000 And that's the reason why they ended up having to leave.
00:16:35.000 That's what put the needle in the balloon.
00:16:37.000 That's why they ended up moving the team to D.C. What made them move to D.C.?
00:16:42.000 The fact that in 94 strike.
00:16:44.000 Yes.
00:16:44.000 Ultimately, that's what led to them going to Montreal.
00:16:47.000 If that didn't happen, I guarantee you, they'd still have a team in Montreal.
00:16:50.000 They would have went to the World Series, maybe even won it.
00:16:52.000 And we won't talk about Rick Monday against Steve Ross.
00:16:54.000 No, please don't.
00:16:56.000 I heard they asked him to leave a restaurant in Montreal because they said they were going to beat him up if he didn't leave.
00:17:02.000 He says, what are we doing wrong?
00:17:03.000 We're just eating our dinner.
00:17:04.000 He goes, these gentlemen are saying they're going to come over here, and they're going to beat you up if you don't leave the restaurant now.
00:17:10.000 And needless to say, I don't like Rick Monday either.
00:17:12.000 Yeah, well, I don't like commies or unions striking, ruining all our fun.
00:17:16.000 Yeah, well, that's what it is.
00:17:17.000 81, 94, 72.
00:17:20.000 There's been too many strikes over the years.
00:17:21.000 It all started, like I said, Marvin Miller got all this crap started.
00:17:24.000 And, you know, the only thing, anybody that's, anybody, only loyalty that's left is the fans to these teams.
00:17:29.000 And that's it.
00:17:30.000 And these players and these owners should be grateful for it, because if it wasn't for us, the fans, they'd have nothing.
00:17:35.000 They'd have nothing.
00:17:36.000 Good point.
00:17:37.000 I didn't think I knew much about baseball.
00:17:39.000 But after talking to that guy, I realized I don't know anything about baseball.
00:17:43.000 It seems like there's an infinite universe of facts and names and history.
00:17:48.000 I'm glad my son is so obsessed with it because it's an abyss of information.
00:17:53.000 But I'm just going to stick to chick-level understanding of sports and the Mets.
00:17:58.000 I like the hunks, like Noah Syndergaard.
00:18:01.000 I like screaming when we get a point.
00:18:03.000 I hope we get the year-end trophy.
00:18:05.000 And I hope, you know, there's tons of great RBIs and we get on bass and there's lots of popcorn and, you know, people singing and dancing and stuff.
00:18:14.000 Here's a curious couple I met.
00:18:15.000 This gigantic alpha male dude who's about six foot five.
00:18:19.000 Totally normal dude who's probably had sex with your ex-girlfriend.
00:18:25.000 And then a guy who's a little less popular with the ladies, I'd imagine.
00:18:31.000 I'd maybe wager.
00:18:33.000 And the great thing about baseball is you have this uber mensch talking to this undermensch and hanging out.
00:18:41.000 You know, they have so much in common.
00:18:43.000 Baseball brings people together that way.
00:18:45.000 Let's talk to both of those guys.
00:18:47.000 Paul, how you feeling about this season?
00:18:50.000 I think they're going to be great.
00:18:51.000 I mean, the pitching staff is pretty, you've got six starters on this lineup right now.
00:18:55.000 So, you know, I think it's been competitive.
00:18:57.000 You saw Harvey last yesterday pitched three great innings.
00:19:00.000 So I think the staff is going to do wonderful.
00:19:02.000 Were you at the game yesterday?
00:19:03.000 No, I haven't.
00:19:04.000 I was at the Nationals game.
00:19:06.000 I saw Matt's, but he might need a little bit more work.
00:19:10.000 But yeah, we're here today, though, seeing the Astros in town.
00:19:14.000 Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing the game today.
00:19:16.000 And Syndergaard, when you see him pitching 100 miles an hour, I see that.
00:19:20.000 And it's like, imagine you went away on a business trip and you found out your wife was wearing lingerie every night.
00:19:24.000 I'd go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:19:26.000 Save it.
00:19:27.000 Save it till I'm back.
00:19:29.000 So you're saying watching Syndegard is better than sex, huh?
00:19:35.000 Yes, and I'm also saying, I don't want to see the 100 miles an hour in these games.
00:19:40.000 I want to see everyone walking around with like elastic tensor bandages tiptoeing everywhere.
00:19:45.000 We only have so many throws.
00:19:47.000 Let's spend them on the field where it matters.
00:19:50.000 You know what I mean?
00:19:50.000 No, I think that's key.
00:19:54.000 Let the hitters hit and then make your fielders make the plays and then keep your pitch count down.
00:19:59.000 You know, you pitch one, two pitches, make them hit, hit a ground ball, boom, lower your pitch count, too.
00:20:04.000 Yeah, good point.
00:20:05.000 Let's do that this year.
00:20:06.000 I have a very good feeling about this year.
00:20:08.000 I don't know if it's a World Series feeling, but last year was all injuries, and I don't think we're going to have the same kind of injuries this year.
00:20:16.000 That's true.
00:20:16.000 I mean, you're talking about injuries in any kind of sport.
00:20:18.000 If you're healthy throughout the year, you're going to do well.
00:20:20.000 I mean, look at all these successful teams that run the World Series route.
00:20:25.000 They're young, and they're healthy, bottom line.
00:20:27.000 Get him off this field, get him in a hot tub.
00:20:30.000 Get him some chicks.
00:20:33.000 That's true.
00:20:34.000 I be with them.
00:20:36.000 Do you remember the first day that you fell in love with baseball?
00:20:40.000 Probably I was about eight, nine.
00:20:43.000 Because I also played on the Lourdes League on that time.
00:20:47.000 Where was that?
00:20:48.000 In New York.
00:20:49.000 Where in New York?
00:20:50.000 Called Rockland County, which is about the next county over from Westchester and over the Tappanzee Bridge.
00:21:00.000 Right, I know, right near Jersey.
00:21:01.000 Yeah, right across the border from Jersey.
00:21:03.000 Right on.
00:21:04.000 And it's a kind of a thing that once you start getting into it, it's not like other sports where you learn a few players.
00:21:11.000 There's an infinite amount of data and the cards and the history and the signed balls and the spring training.
00:21:20.000 It's just like moving to a new country.
00:21:23.000 It's like going to Japan and learning Japanese.
00:21:26.000 It just consumes you.
00:21:27.000 One of my favorite movies was called Mr. Baseball with Tom Selleck.
00:21:33.000 Right.
00:21:34.000 You know, where he went to Japan because he was not getting the manager of the team that he was playing for in the U.S. that, you know, he wasn't really worth, you know.
00:21:47.000 Right, I remember that movie.
00:21:48.000 And that's another great thing about baseball.
00:21:50.000 Like with basketball, whatever team LeBron James is with is going to win.
00:21:56.000 So there's no excitement there.
00:21:57.000 But with baseball, you could have, like, what's that movie, Moneyball?
00:22:01.000 Yeah.
00:22:01.000 Where he gets a bunch of mediocre players, but spreads the money out and ends up making a very good team.
00:22:07.000 Not the perfect team, but a very good team.
00:22:09.000 And did you know that the actor who played the character, Billy Bean, was drafted out by the Mets?
00:22:18.000 Oh, no way.
00:22:19.000 Yeah, and he also played for the Mets, I think, one year, like 82 or 83.
00:22:25.000 That's a cool name, Billy Bean.
00:22:26.000 Yeah.
00:22:28.000 He was the one who was supposed to be the general manager of the A's.
00:22:36.000 I think that's one of the coolest names I've ever heard.
00:22:38.000 Yeah.
00:22:39.000 Who doesn't want to hang out with Billy Bean?
00:22:41.000 Yeah, I know.
00:22:42.000 It was a good party.
00:22:42.000 Everyone was there.
00:22:43.000 Mikey was there.
00:22:44.000 Joey Two Shoes was there.
00:22:45.000 Billy Bean showed up for a little while.
00:22:48.000 Sounds like a good party.
00:22:49.000 Oh, yeah.
00:22:50.000 Let's just end it with a guy with a Mr. Met tattoo.
00:22:52.000 I like Mr. Mett a lot.
00:22:54.000 Noah Syndergaard, the top pitcher of the Mets, is very cruel to Mr. Mett, which is screwed up because Mr. Mett's obviously severely handicapped.
00:23:03.000 He's like Rocky Dennis in the movie Mask.
00:23:06.000 He has cranial dysplasia, which is a debilitating disease where your skull doesn't stop expanding.
00:23:12.000 I hope this works with the audio.
00:23:15.000 But we got to go.
00:23:15.000 We're running out of time here.
00:23:17.000 Tomorrow is the Yankees.
00:23:20.000 They are a team also from New York, full of dickheads with some of the worst fans in the world.
00:23:26.000 How you doing?
00:23:27.000 Good.
00:23:27.000 How you doing?
00:23:28.000 Great.
00:23:28.000 I noticed you got a Mets tattoo.
00:23:30.000 I do, I do.
00:23:30.000 I got it the day before the World Series, and then I was hoping they won, but still a great season.
00:23:35.000 Now, Mr. Met, I have a kids book at home with my kids.
00:23:39.000 He was born with that head.
00:23:41.000 Oh, was he?
00:23:42.000 I did not know that.
00:23:42.000 I thought he grew into that.
00:23:44.000 No, he was born with that head, and his parents are like that.
00:23:47.000 And Cyndergaard is really cruel to him, and you think, dude, that guy grew up with a head bigger than his body, and you're treating him like he's some sort of pain in the ass.
00:23:57.000 I don't think it's fair.
00:23:59.000 I have nothing to say about Noah because I would say I have a man crush on that guy.
00:24:04.000 He is too much.
00:24:06.000 He's the best mascot, isn't he?
00:24:07.000 Yeah, I would never say anything bad about that man, ever.
00:24:10.000 Wait, Syndegard or Mr. Mett?
00:24:11.000 Syndegard and Mr. Mett, but more Syndegaard.
00:24:14.000 Do you think Mr. Mett is the greatest mascot of all time?
00:24:17.000 I do.
00:24:18.000 I absolutely do.
00:24:19.000 Who's the worst?
00:24:21.000 The worst.
00:24:22.000 Hmm.
00:24:23.000 The Cincinnati Red guy, because I think he's a copy on us.
00:24:27.000 Sometimes a mascot's just a dude.
00:24:29.000 Like, he's just a guy in a costume.
00:24:31.000 I think the Pirates had a guy that was just a pirate.
00:24:33.000 That sucks.
00:24:34.000 That does suck.
00:24:35.000 We need to see your head from far away, from the stands.
00:24:37.000 Yeah, you do.
00:24:38.000 Yeah, you do.
00:24:39.000 What else you got there?
00:24:40.000 You got Freddy on your leg.
00:24:42.000 I got the baseball.
00:24:43.000 I got the phone shot.
00:24:45.000 Beautiful.
00:24:46.000 We got a shark because we went shark diving out at West Palm.
00:24:48.000 All right, On.
00:24:49.000 How do you feel about this season for the Mets?
00:24:51.000 Health.
00:24:52.000 As long as we stay healthy, I think we got a great team.
00:24:54.000 Well, that's where I want to blow your mind with a heavy theory.
00:24:57.000 I don't like spring training.
00:24:59.000 No.
00:25:00.000 I don't think they need it.
00:25:01.000 Look, they're already in the MLB.
00:25:03.000 It's like telling Superman to go do push-ups or something.
00:25:05.000 You're already here sit in a hot tub.
00:25:08.000 I'm not even sure I want them to play these games.
00:25:10.000 What do you think of that?
00:25:12.000 I think as long as they take it easy, just warm-ups, you know.
00:25:14.000 That's what killed us last year was injuries.
00:25:16.000 Yeah.
00:25:16.000 We got a new trainer, though.
00:25:18.000 So hopefully, he knows.
00:25:20.000 Hopefully, maybe yoga or something.
00:25:21.000 Who knows?
00:25:23.000 I don't know.
00:25:23.000 I looked up that previous trainer, and I saw some video on ESPN's show, and he was helping guys throw kegs into the snow.
00:25:32.000 And I'm looking at him going, dude, I don't want you going up to Cindergaard and having him throw kegs into the snow.
00:25:38.000 I want Cindergaard to be throwing 40-mile-an-hour softballs to girls.
00:25:44.000 That's training.
00:25:45.000 What do you think?
00:25:47.000 Maybe if they win the Penn In again on the World Series, then they could throw kegs.
00:25:50.000 But besides that, like you said, we'll throw them soft for now.
00:25:53.000 Take it easy, guys.
00:25:54.000 Take it easy.
00:25:55.000 I'd just like to say that I thoroughly hate doing MOS, as it's called In the industry, man on the streets.
00:26:01.000 For everyone you see, we've been rejected about 10 times, and I don't like that.
00:26:08.000 I don't like rejection.
00:26:09.000 I have a huge ego, and people saying no to me pisses me off because what they're saying is, I don't trust you.
00:26:15.000 You're not trustworthy.
00:26:17.000 And that's an insult.
00:26:18.000 So I feel like saying, you, you're not trustworthy either, you piece of sh ⁇ .
00:26:23.000 So that's why I don't do sales.
00:26:25.000 I have a lot of respect for salesmen, by the way, and they've made me rich over the years.
00:26:28.000 But the way they can just keep with that thick skin, just keep going up and getting told, you suck.
00:26:33.000 I don't want what you have to offer.
00:26:35.000 It's not good enough for me.
00:26:37.000 The way they can keep getting told that again and again, it's like being a boxer.
00:26:43.000 It's an impressive trait.
00:26:44.000 And that's actually why I can't box either.
00:26:47.000 Because when we spar and I get punched in the face, I feel like going, time out, time out.
00:26:52.000 Whoa, you just punched me right in my noggin.
00:26:56.000 Like, I want to have a long meeting about it.
00:26:58.000 It's very alarming to be punched in the face.
00:27:02.000 The way boxers can just go, I left myself open.
00:27:04.000 That was dumb.
00:27:05.000 And salesmen can do it too.
00:27:06.000 And these men on the street guys, I mean, the ideal way you do it is you have pretty girls who run around and set it up and then they call you over.
00:27:13.000 Because I like doing them.
00:27:13.000 That works.
00:27:14.000 I like talking to strangers.
00:27:15.000 I do that all the time.
00:27:16.000 That's fun.
00:27:17.000 But getting rejected by strangers is physically painful.
00:27:21.000 And I hate it.
00:27:28.000 Hey, folks, so we're here in Florida, Port St. Lucie, and we are next to the stupidest bridge in America.
00:27:37.000 It goes over maybe six inches of grass.
00:27:40.000 And the thing I don't get about it is, say there was flooding or whatever, where, like, how much flood waters can make it under this bridge?
00:27:49.000 Maybe an inch?
00:27:51.000 In other words, you don't need this bridge.
00:27:53.000 I don't understand what it does.
00:27:56.000 And for the other 99.9% of the time, it's just avoiding this dip.
00:28:00.000 I mean, even if you were severely handicapped, like say you had one of those orthopedic legs, you still would go, this isn't an issue.
00:28:08.000 This is a normal uppy-downiness.
00:28:10.000 It's not even like a big dip.
00:28:11.000 So handicapped, even in a wheelchair, if I was in a wheelchair and I was rolling along here, I don't think I would take this because I've got this bump to deal with.
00:28:20.000 It really is.
00:28:22.000 It's the worst bridge in America.
00:28:24.000 This is the stupidest bridge I've ever seen in my life.
00:28:29.000 The only way to make it work would be to dig a trough underneath it.
00:28:33.000 So that would cost, you'd have to rip up the whole bridge.
00:28:35.000 And by the way, when you do that, when you rip up the whole bridge, just stop what you're doing and let it go.
00:28:40.000 You just destroyed the stupidest bridge in America.
00:28:43.000 You know what's weird?
00:28:44.000 We were watching the game yesterday and there's Tigers fans behind us cheering every time the Tigers win, win, every time they get a run.
00:28:52.000 And I'm thinking, if this was anywhere else, like anywhere in Europe, there'd be a brawl going on right now.
00:28:58.000 Met fans are good sports.
00:29:00.000 We're nice people.
00:29:01.000 Americans are good people.
00:29:02.000 We don't beat up each other.
00:29:04.000 That's rare globally.
00:29:06.000 Okay.
00:29:08.000 I don't do questions.
00:29:09.000 I just say a thing.
00:29:10.000 And they give you the microphone.
00:29:12.000 What first got you into baseball?
00:29:14.000 My name's Gavin.
00:29:15.000 I work at CRTV.
00:29:16.000 We're having spring training week this whole week, all Mets-themed.
00:29:20.000 What first hooked you to baseball?
00:29:22.000 1969.
00:29:24.000 Rusty Staub was my favorite player.
00:29:26.000 So you were negative five years old?
00:29:29.000 How did you know?
00:29:29.000 That's right.
00:29:30.000 So you told me.
00:29:31.000 I traveled back to 1969.
00:29:34.000 And your dad brought you to the game?
00:29:36.000 Yeah.
00:29:36.000 Well, yeah, we used to watch the games all the time.
00:29:39.000 My brothers.
00:29:40.000 It's a unique sport in that when you fall in love, there's an infinite amount of information and history and background.
00:29:48.000 It's different than other sports, don't you think?
00:29:50.000 Yes.
00:29:51.000 You feeling good about this season?
00:29:53.000 If we could stay healthy.
00:29:54.000 That's what everyone here has said without exception.
00:29:57.000 We just need to stay healthy.
00:29:58.000 Exactly.
00:29:59.000 How about this for a way to stay healthy?
00:30:01.000 Stop this fucking training.
00:30:03.000 Definitely.
00:30:04.000 I don't even like seeing this.
00:30:06.000 You're going to hurt your arm.
00:30:06.000 Stop it.
00:30:08.000 Throwing or the fence?
00:30:09.000 Throwing.
00:30:10.000 I don't want any practicing.
00:30:11.000 I want them all in a hot tub, surrounded with prostitutes, drinking champagne.
00:30:16.000 Or their wives if they're married.
00:30:18.000 Matt Harvey, though.
00:30:20.000 Well, that was the days in the 80s, right?
00:30:21.000 They were all doing drugs.
00:30:22.000 Everyone seemed to be doing okay.
00:30:23.000 No one had injuries.
00:30:25.000 Yeah, last time we won a World Series, 86.
00:30:28.000 There's a moral there.
00:30:30.000 How do you feel about doping?
00:30:31.000 That's bad, right?
00:30:32.000 Definitely.
00:30:33.000 So should Barry Bonds be in the Hall of Fame?
00:30:35.000 No.
00:30:36.000 What about A-Rod?
00:30:37.000 No, I hate that guy.
00:30:38.000 A-Rod sucks.
00:30:40.000 That's a weird thing, too, because you want to be a Christian.
00:30:42.000 You want to be a good person.
00:30:44.000 But with sports, I want Aaron Judge to be in a car accident.
00:30:48.000 And that feels bad.
00:30:49.000 That feels wrong.
00:30:50.000 I hate that guy too.
00:30:51.000 We're good people.
00:30:56.000 If we saw someone being beat up on the street, we'd say, hey, what are you doing, man?
00:30:59.000 However, if we read in the news that Aaron Judge was in a car accident and he didn't die, I don't want him to die.
00:31:07.000 So you want him, if you read in the news that he was in a car accident and it blew his arm off, you would go, good, you'd feel good about that.
00:31:16.000 Just because he's a Yankee, yes.
00:31:18.000 I feel the same way.
00:31:20.000 I feel the same way, and I'm not proud of it.
00:31:22.000 It's a strange emotion to have.
00:31:26.000 You'd see, you'd see, if you showed up at the accident and you saw his arm lying there, you'd go, good, that's awesome.
00:31:33.000 That's completely off.
00:31:34.000 There's no way that's coming back on.
00:31:36.000 Sports, it makes you think bad thoughts.
00:31:38.000 Yep.
00:31:39.000 How are we going to win the World Series this year?
00:31:40.000 What's the secret?
00:31:42.000 I don't know.
00:31:42.000 Strong starting pitching.
00:31:44.000 Good hitting from the lineup.
00:31:46.000 And who is going to be our main pitcher?
00:31:48.000 Who's going to win it for us?
00:31:49.000 Cindergaud.
00:31:50.000 Did you see those 100 miles an hour pitches the other day?
00:31:50.000 Cyndergaard.
00:31:52.000 Oh, that was crazy.
00:31:53.000 I don't like that.
00:31:55.000 Yeah, a little early for it.
00:31:56.000 A little early.
00:31:57.000 Yeah.
00:31:58.000 We've got X amount of pitches in an arm.
00:31:58.000 Save it all.
00:32:01.000 I remember hearing the guy in Aerosmith say that.
00:32:03.000 He goes, there's X amount of drinks a man can have in his life.
00:32:06.000 I had them all.
00:32:08.000 I had 35.
00:32:09.000 I'm done now.
00:32:09.000 I got to stop.
00:32:11.000 And I feel like they do that with Little League, that you're allowed to have 60 pitches, and you got to get the kid off the field.
00:32:16.000 I feel like that's true of a baseball player's entire career.
00:32:20.000 So let's get him on the actual field.
00:32:22.000 We've got a few players coming.
00:32:22.000 Who's this coming now?
00:32:24.000 Looks like Jerry Blovins, I think.
00:32:26.000 No, no, that's DeGrom.
00:32:28.000 DeGrom threw my kid a ball the other day.
00:32:30.000 Oh, that's nice.
00:32:31.000 Yeah, right over there.
00:32:32.000 I was standing here going, This is boring.
00:32:34.000 What are we doing here?
00:32:34.000 And then he threw the ball, and I went, This is awesome.
00:32:37.000 This is the best.
00:32:40.000 All right, Gram.
00:32:40.000 We'll see you later.
00:32:45.000 I just had Jacob DeGram on my show.
00:32:51.000 Just watching a bunch of TV.
00:32:53.000 We're on a moonshine marathon here back at the hotel, learning about these people who made Sesafras shine.
00:33:01.000 But the problem with that is it needs more starch, so she got some corn in there, and I think they made some pretty good Sassafras moonshine.
00:33:08.000 They made some good Sassafras shine.
00:33:11.000 One of the problems, obviously, with this show and this week is you're not getting the news that you're used to getting.
00:33:16.000 You're getting Mets, Mets, Mets, Mets, Mets.
00:33:19.000 And I think it's worth...
00:33:25.000 You notice that about dudes?
00:33:26.000 When they watch a show or like a kung fu movie, for the next hour, they're in a kung fu movie.
00:33:32.000 Chicks aren't like that.
00:33:33.000 They just go, that was a kung fu movie.
00:33:34.000 It's over.
00:33:35.000 We get in the zone.
00:33:36.000 Any Hoosers, in the news, what do we got?
00:33:40.000 Well, yesterday we were talking to my old man, Jimmy McInnes, about Pierre.
00:33:45.000 No, sorry, his son, Justin Trudeau.
00:33:48.000 And I think it's worth checking out some videos of the man.
00:33:52.000 Because I know y'all don't care.
00:33:53.000 You don't care about Canada.
00:33:54.000 That's so far away.
00:33:56.000 It's miles away.
00:33:57.000 It's literally actually zero miles away when you look at the fact that you're touching it.
00:34:02.000 But you go, well, why should I care, Gavin?
00:34:07.000 Well, you should care because Mr. Santa Fres is what happens when you have state-run media like the CBC and you get this diversity, multiculturalism, feminism, trans awareness.
00:34:20.000 When the social justice warriors dictate how a country's run, you end up with women determining elections and they vote for hunks.
00:34:28.000 They vote for stupid hunks who don't actually speak English.
00:34:32.000 This guy is such a himbo, he cannot speak his own language.
00:34:36.000 Check this out.
00:34:37.000 We import more steel than the Americans import.
00:34:44.000 Sorry, we have a significant trade surplus.
00:34:47.000 The Americans have a significant trade surplus with us on steel, which means we buy steel from them, they buy steel from us.
00:34:57.000 And here he is, this is not as dumb, as my man Ezra Levant points out.
00:35:03.000 This is not as dumb, but this is just him, just normal talk about baby scientists.
00:35:09.000 The thing is that every single human being starts off as a scientist.
00:35:15.000 When you're a baby, you are a scientist.
00:35:18.000 If I make this noise, wow, I get milk.
00:35:22.000 If I push this button or knock this thing off the table, it lands on me and it hurts.
00:35:28.000 You're curious.
00:35:30.000 You're curious.
00:35:30.000 You're always asking questions about, well, why is the sky blue?
00:35:34.000 What does this do?
00:35:34.000 What does that do?
00:35:36.000 Why is this this way?
00:35:37.000 Well, what do you mean there's going to be consequences if I do this?
00:35:41.000 Being a kid is constantly testing, discovering, hypothesis, experiment, solution, learning.
00:35:50.000 You see what you're dealing with here?
00:35:52.000 This is what happens, ladies, when you vote with your celebrity magazine brains and not your normal political brain, which you don't seem to have.
00:36:02.000 Annie Hoosers, what else is going on?
00:36:04.000 Gary Cohn, draining the swamp.
00:36:06.000 We've got another globalist out there.
00:36:08.000 I'm done with that accent.
00:36:09.000 We have Jared Kushner out of the White House.
00:36:11.000 Ivanka Trump's on her way out.
00:36:14.000 And Gary Cohn is out.
00:36:16.000 This is all great news.
00:36:17.000 And I notice the left is saying, you see what happens?
00:36:19.000 You sleep with Trump.
00:36:20.000 You get stabbed in the back.
00:36:21.000 He's evil.
00:36:22.000 No, firing politicians is good.
00:36:26.000 Draining the swamp is always good.
00:36:28.000 Remember, our ideal government is no.
00:36:32.000 I want the president after Trump to be a Japanese man who we only teach the word no to.
00:36:38.000 That's the only English word he knows.
00:36:40.000 And he just sits there going, oh, no.
00:36:43.000 That's our ideal.
00:36:44.000 We don't want the government regulating us.
00:36:46.000 We are ecstatic that Trump is draining the swamp and getting rid of the globalists like Kushner and Cohn.
00:36:52.000 It's wonderful news.
