00:00Let's do five reasons. I hate you. Oh, fire up CeeLo, Ben. There we go. Five reasons. I hate you.
00:06New York Yankees. This is going to be so difficult. This Yankees is took. This took
00:12three minutes to put together. How do I, how do I dredge up some hatred for the Yankees?
00:16For the Yankees, for the evil empire. I know. I know the Yankees and the Lakers are in town
00:21this weekend. How about that? Um, all right. Uh, number five about, we don't talk about the
00:25Lakers. No, we did five reasons. I hate you for them last week. And it seemed like it
00:28might've pissed them off. The Lakers are currently my, my Diana Rossini. Yeah.
00:34Hey, what's going on with the Rockets versus the Lakers? That is nothing. It's nothing.
00:38Nothing. Well, there's nothing to talk about. Just going to counseling. That's all. Um, so,
00:43um, so let's do this five reasons. I hate you for the Yankees. Hopefully it has better results
00:46than when we did this for the Cardinals and the Lakers last Friday. Um, number five, Aaron
00:52judge, Aaron judge, disappointed America in the world baseball classic. He, you as a red
00:58blooded American, you, Seth Payne, you, the listener in your car, you've been Gary. He
01:03basically stabbed you in the back with world baseball classic treason. He stunk in the world
01:09baseball classic. Right. Which again, it's almost kind of like expecting James Harden to
01:13be, to be great in an elimination game or something. This is what Aaron judge typically
01:18does in games. I was totally expecting it, but I'm mad that it happened. Yeah. He's got one
01:22impressive world series. And then other than that, he's just a dud when it comes to any games
01:27that matter to anybody anywhere. Yep. So, um, that's why, unfortunately the, uh, right
01:32now there's, I wish this was a playoff series. If somehow the Astros made it into the playoffs
01:37with the record as it currently is, they would have a much better chance of beating the Yankees
01:41in the playoffs than as they're currently constructed. Is there a way we can make Aaron judge think
01:46it's October? Can we do that? Can we somehow make a playoff environment? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:50Yeah. Yeah. It's bring some brings bang, whatever you can. Right. And, uh, in the stands out there,
01:56if you can sneak a tele camera with a telephoto lens or something and then act like you're using
02:01your iPhone, just hold it in front of you and then act like you're furiously texting something.
02:06Amen. All right. Number four, that's reason. Number five reason. Number four, big Nick Turturro
02:11actor, Yankee fan who is livid all the time, seemingly livid about a team that does win more often
02:18than they lose. But just to remind you of who this person is here, he was two weeks ago talking
02:23about how miserable it is for Yankee fans. Yeah. You wanted to run it back, right? You wanted to
02:28run it back. I just said this before. I'm going to say it again. Here's the results. Here's the same,
02:32same channel, same poor play, even worse attitude, no accountability, losing close games. It's
02:41only April, man, only April. And you're already seeing that this team hasn't done enough. They
02:47haven't done enough to change the narrative. Don't be shocked. Don't be shocked. We're not
02:54stupid. I don't talk to just talk. I talk real. I know what I'm saying.
03:01My favorite one. My favorite one is 16 and nine. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they're going through
03:07a rough stretch when he said that probably. Yeah. Like you, dude, you're, you're the, you're the woman
03:12with a, with a big, uh, honey ham under her arm complaining. She doesn't have any bread.
03:16Well, and he's, he's Turturro the lesser. Like, uh, I would imagine he only has any jobs at all
03:21because his brother is John Turturro, who's actually a respected actor. That's right. And
03:26Nick Turturro is known for making funny videos, sounding like a New Yorker, uh, and the internet.
03:32Um, I think also though, that, uh, the Yankees are still a boomer bust team and, uh, come on,
03:38come on Astros. There's nothing more embarrassing. The Yankees fans and getting swept by the Astros who are
03:42currently a bad base. That's right. That's right. Who very much have the firepower to look like an
03:47awesome team for at least half an inning. Yeah. At least get into a slugfest with them or whatever.
03:51Number three, former Astro current injured Yankee, Garrett Cole, Garrett Cole is still on the Yankees.
03:58I don't know if people realize that because he hasn't pitched in forever because he had arm surgery,
04:02but let's remind everybody, this was Garrett Cole being, um, being kind of pressured by the media
04:09to talk about his grip and spider tack a few years ago when they banned it.
04:13I just can't, it's, it's hard. I mean, it's hard to, it's so hard to grip the ball. I just,
04:19you know, I mean, for Pete's sake, it's, it's part of the reason why almost every player on the field
04:25has, has something regardless of their picture or not to help them help them control the ball.
04:30Um, I don't have a solution, but again, we're, we're, we are aligned in a lot of areas with the
04:42commissioner's office on this. And, um, please just, please just talk to us. Please just work
04:47with us. I know you have the hammer here, but, um, you know, there there's, there's, uh, we've been
04:54living in a gray area for so long. Um, I would just hate to see players get hurt. I would,
05:00I would
05:00hate to see balls start flying at people's heads. I had a really tough time gripping the baseball
05:04tonight, uh, especially early when it was windy. So, um, I don't really care to be inflammatory
05:12here, Joel. I just, uh, so I'm just going to leave it at that. And that was Tatsuya Imai
05:17and explaining his recent struggles with us. We had AI turned Tatsuya Imai. It all comes
05:22together. Garrett Cole is the most recent of a rotating cast of interpreters that we've
05:27used for Tatsuya Imai. Can you imagine having Cole? Oh, I'll tell you guys, the mound here
05:33is a lot different than it is in Japan. He's such a dork. Oh my God. Oh, the balls does
05:36more
05:36slippery. I wasn't ready for that. I knew we were going to play that clip, but I hadn't heard
05:41it in a long time. Yeah. Uh, that got me. Yeah. That's an abrupt, can you play the first,
05:47five seconds? Yeah. Play the first five seconds, Ben. I just can't. It's, it's hard. I mean,
05:53it's hard to, it's so hard to grip the ball. Good enough. Such a nerd. All right. Let's
06:00get to the last two reasons to hate the Yankees as if we, there's only five. Number two, the
06:06Yankee fans, and there's probably plenty of them in the town this week. They travel pretty
06:09good. Specifically. The one I'm talking about is the one that was sitting near you at some
06:13sort of sporting events set that you've described before. My niece is softball. Okay. I thought
06:19it was like a little league game or something. I found myself having to, uh, like I was almost
06:23on the verge of defending Aaron judge. For those who don't remember, it was a father and a son
06:27sitting behind you. Yeah. And the son was, the son was saying Aaron judge sucks. He sucks,
06:34dad. He just sucks. And then the kid was actually making some good points. He was talking about
06:38judge in the playoffs. Yeah. But the father saying the father, the father who was like
06:44classic New Jersey stereo. Yes. Yes. He was, he previous to this conversation, he was bragging
06:49about he, how he let some, um, some FedEx customer service agent really have it. Uh, I didn't know
06:57I'd tell you what I tell him who's boss. Um, so he's having this conversation with his son about
07:01Aaron judge and the kid's like, but he sucks, daddy sucks. And his father says, believe it or not,
07:06he's an all-star. That's all I wanted. That's all. I just wanted that. Believe it or not. He's an
07:11all-star. Believe it or not. He's an all-star. Yeah. That's what, that's all I needed. All right.
07:14One more Cody Bellinger. Number one reason to hate the New York Yankees. Cody Bellinger is on
07:20the Yankees. We all remember this disrespect of the great Jose Altuve. You know, I think what
07:26people don't realize is Altuve stole an MVP from judge in 17. Um, everyone knows they stole the ring
07:34from us. I don't know what human hits a walk-off home run against Roldis Chapman to send your
07:40team to the world series. And one has the thought to say, don't rip my jersey off, but
07:45two, go in the tunnel, change your shirt, and then come out and do your interview. Like
07:50that, that makes no sense to me. It makes zero sense to me because I know me. Gary Sandra
07:55said yesterday, you can rip my shirt off, my pants off. I sent my team the world series off
08:00Roldis Chapman in the ninth inning at home. You can do, you know, if you don't know the
08:04facts, then you got to chill. That's exactly right. Yeah. I mean, there's so many things
08:08about that where you can tell that he had never even actually watched any of that. It
08:11was just stuff that people had told him. Oh yeah. He'd seen on social media. He's getting
08:14gassed. He didn't go and change his clothes in the dugout. That's just factually. That's
08:19false. We've got all kinds of evidence of like them trying to tear his shirt off after
08:23previous walk-off home runs. Um, the, the hanging slider that he hit, like other people,
08:29baseball players who watched that told you exactly why L2, they was supposed to, it was
08:33able to, the sequence of pitches and everything. Uh, the biggest surprise to me, honestly,
08:38is we started to sort out and try to figure out, okay, what's really happened since marijuana
08:42was legalized in so many States around the league. The, by far the biggest shock to me
08:47has been that Cody Bellinger somehow got his career back on track after the legalization.
08:52Yeah. Yeah. He's so many places. Yeah. He looked dead in the water, man. He was like to
08:58the point where I'm like, all right, this guy might need to lay off something in his
09:01life. Uh, no, I don't know. He's just, he's back to being really, really good. He's a good
09:06player. Yep. All right. Let's, uh, that was five reasons. I hate you for the Yankees.
09:10Immediately after they got, after they banned sign stealing, he sucked for a long time.
09:13That's true. That's true. Yeah. When they cracked down on it for real. Yep. Yep.
