1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to Stupidity, home of the greatest media mind ever

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: to walk the planet.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, man, He's a literal titan across

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: the entire media landscape.

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 3: Okay, sure, here's a deal. He's a true icon in

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 3: every sense of the word.

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: He's loved and feared more than any being to Grace's planet.

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: There got a bed with a voice that sounds like

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: Verry White, and be got say hey, let's do it, baby.

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: God himself would pay thirty nine ninety nine for a cameo.

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: Fact of the matter is you are about to embark

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: on a transcendent experience that can only be described as

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: psychological nudity.

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 3: This is st box and this is stupidity. Here we

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 3: go jump only.

16
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: So we're still here. It's the next morning. We're still

17
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: waiting for Devin. We've been up all night. We're exhausted,

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: we're tired. But we have an obligation to our audience

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: to deliver at all costs, even if it costs both

20
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: of us our lives to deliver you an episode of

21
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: stupidity with a guy who finally wrote a book about

22
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: what it means to be a miserable Mets fan. This

23
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: is our obligation. We take it very seriously. We've been

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: up all night. Mike's been yelling at me. I've been

25
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: yelling back at Mike.

26
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 3: We never yelled at each other until last night.

27
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: Devin has completely fractured our relationship inexplicably.

28
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 3: Mike.

29
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: I'm wondering, is evil and evil still in your backyard?

30
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 4: I just want the chain saw us to stop. I

31
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 4: just want to sleep.

32
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: I just want Devin to show up.

33
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 5: I ask him about Mookie Wills.

34
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 3: I just want to ask him about nails.

35
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 4: Hold on, I think he's coming.

36
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: What stupiodity? Hey Devin, what's up? Man?

37
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 6: Sorry about yesterday. I didn't even know this was schedule.

38
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: You're good man. We uh we we made fun of you.

39
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 3: We spent twenty minutes making fun of you. That's fair,

40
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: that's just good. Good. I listen.

41
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 6: I'll go back and listen, see if you got any

42
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 6: good shot.

43
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 3: Hold on a second.

44
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: At one point, I said, the only thing being the

45
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: only thing more frustrating than being a Mets fan is

46
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: being a fan of Devin.

47
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 6: Look at his face, I can give you.

48
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 3: Why do you think I.

49
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 6: Wrote a book that means you're inside?

50
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: Devin?

51
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 7: How old are you I'm forty four, okay, and where

52
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 7: and where are you from? Originally I'm from that in

53
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 7: an hour north of New York City, not far enough

54
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 7: to call upstate, but Pekskill. And now I'm in Boston.

55
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 4: We're from Long Island. If you're north of the Bronx,

56
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 4: you're upstate.

57
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

58
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 6: Sometimes like if you know, if you meet people from

59
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 6: like Albany or Rochester and you say from upstate New York,

60
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 6: they're like, you know, I mean like one of those.

61
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: Yes you also, you're a New Yorker.

62
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: You wrote the single most important magazine article ever when

63
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: you wrote about Bartolo colos one home Run My Man, a.

64
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 6: Whole chapter in the book Man and his his memoir

65
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 6: came out after my I finished my book, so I

66
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 6: got to go back and beat it up.

67
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: And there you go, right, And he went back and

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: he went back and he beefed it up.

69
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 6: And it's a good point.

70
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: Yes, it's an entire career being up.

71
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: Wait, Devin, I want you to help me out here.

72
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: Are from Long Island. So I grew up in the eighties.

73
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: I'm forty seven years old. So, but I grew up

74
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: in as I'm where the Jets were playing at Shay Stadium.

75
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: The Mets were also playing at Shay Stadium. Listen, being

76
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: a Mets fan wasn't enough for me. I had to

77
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: couple it with also being a Jet fan.

78
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: All right, But is Mikey a cheating here where he's

79
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: also from Long Island?

80
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 2: Okay, he's a Jets fan, but he claims to be

81
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: a Yankees fan.

82
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 4: That claims to be I am a Yankees fan.

83
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: Devin let den, Hey, you shut your mouth over there

84
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: and let Devin settle this debate.

85
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 6: Okay, it sounds like kind of a cop out, a

86
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 6: little bit like you don't have the stamina, where the

87
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 6: fortitude to take both the Jets and the Mets, see

88
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 6: chicking out and go for the Yankees.

89
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 5: First off, you're right, I don't have the fortitude. But

90
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 5: that's not how it happened. I just followed my I have.

91
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 5: I have three older brothers. I followed them. They were

92
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 5: Yankee fans. Okay, sir, Don Maddingly fans.

93
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 4: That's how it started.

94
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: You know.

95
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 6: Look, being a Yankee fan fundamentally is pugnant. I think

96
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 6: we can all agree about him, but they are like,

97
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 6: you know, like sometimes you're the son of a serial killer.

98
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: Your fault.

99
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 6: Now your fault. Your dad's a serial killer, but if

100
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 6: they're serial killing in your blood.

101
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 5: See, I understand, Devin, and I understand why we're having

102
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 5: you on now because the Mets are supposed to be good.

103
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 5: If they weren't going to be good, yeah, no, no, no, Mike,

104
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 5: we will never fall for supposed to be good again.

105
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 6: Okay, break, Are you paying attention to what's going on

106
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 6: out there?

107
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 3: Right?

108
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 4: We laugh.

109
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: It's supposed to be good.

110
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, just like Jet fans, we never we never get

111
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 4: our hopes up.

112
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 6: Yes, well that's yeah, that is kind of the difference, right.

113
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 6: I like, I don't expect anything now, expectations.

114
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 3: We have said the bar so low. Do you have kids, Devin?

115
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: I have two? Okay? And are they met fit? How

116
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: old are the kids?

117
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 6: My son is eight and is very much a Mets fan.

118
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 6: I've groomed him from the start. My daughter actually likes basketball,

119
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 6: really care about but I mean, she's a Mets fan,

120
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 6: but she doesn't care that much. She wears a Noah

121
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 6: Cindergarden free giveaway Cityfield shirt all the time that I

122
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 6: don't think she cares who's on it.

123
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: The reason I asked that is I also have I

124
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: have two children. I have two sixteen year old girls.

125
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: One of them constantly asked me when we're watching the Mets, Daddy,

126
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: why'd you do this to me?

127
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: Have you had that experience?

128
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 6: My son isn't old enough to have that. He's getting there.

129
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 6: It's funny though, because I do realize maybe it's the

130
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 6: combination of the book and the way things have gone recently.

131
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 6: It's like he's getting he's like he's picking it.

132
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 3: Up, you know what I mean.

133
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 6: It's like he's like, did you do something to me?

134
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 6: Because my wife, who's from here, keeps trying to pull

135
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 6: him to the Red Sox. And this has actually been

136
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 6: a slight source attention in my marriage, right, because sometimes

137
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 6: she'll do it. I'm like, you.

138
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 3: Stop that, stop it, right?

139
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 6: And you know, if she wants him for the Celtics, okay,

140
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 6: you know I can't get them.

141
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 3: It's hard to fight some of that.

142
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 6: But like, and she doesn't care about football, so he

143
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 6: doesn't really care about football. But like, as long as

144
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 6: I got the Mets, it's almost kind of like he

145
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 6: can do whatever he wants with his life.

146
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 3: For the Mets. As long as you have that right,

147
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 3: you have that spot.

148
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 4: We have a philosophy. In my house.

149
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 5: My kids will be Yankee fans. I have two boys.

150
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 5: They will be Yankee fans. But they don't have to

151
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 5: be Jet fans. As long as they're not Patriot fans,

152
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 5: I'll love them. If they're Patriot fans, then they have

153
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 5: to move out.

154
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 6: This is this is a you know, we're now in Boston.

155
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 6: We moved here two years ago, you know, back to

156
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 6: my wife's hometown, and so it is definitely like a

157
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 6: worry about the Patriots. He's good on the Mets because

158
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 6: he already goes to school and is like, I'm a

159
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 6: Mets fan.

160
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: What are you gonna do about it?

161
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 6: And especially since like the Red Sox stink right now,

162
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 6: all of his little friends, you know, what are you

163
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 6: gonna say? The Pats worrying me? But to me, I think,

164
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 6: you know, they're about to go off a cliff too,

165
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 6: and they know it.

166
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: I feel like being a fan of those teams is

167
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 3: kind of like she, I think you're right. It like

168
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: being a Yankee fan is cheating, like you know.

169
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, like listen, you have to go through the trials

170
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 2: and tribulations.

171
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: Because here's what I maintained.

172
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: When the Metro Jets actually finally win something. It's gonna

173
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: feel so much better because of the journey, Devin, the

174
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: journey we all took together, and that was a journey

175
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: of misery, you know, naked in the streets.

176
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 6: Yes, of course, I mean looking at them that celebrate. Historically,

177
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 6: we don't win, and players mob each other on the field,

178
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 6: we tear the stadium down, like we it's awesome when

179
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 6: we win things. Yes, the Yankees, it's kind of like

180
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 6: you've done what we expected.

181
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: Right, golf clap.

182
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 6: You may go home now and enjoy lives exactly one

183
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 6: hour of leave, Yes, exactly. You can grow your hair

184
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 6: two inches. Congratulations.

185
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: Devin Gordon is with us so many ways to lose.

186
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: The amazing true story of the best worst team in sports.

187
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: I love the o Why did you? Well, let's start here.

188
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: How'd you become a Mets fan?

189
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: So?

190
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 6: I was about seven years old, nineteen eighty three, eighty four, right,

191
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 6: And when you're seven years old, you make choices for

192
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 6: very simple childhood reasons, especially if you don't inherit a

193
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 6: team like Mike did from his big brothers and started

194
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 6: himself on the wrong path by going to the Yankees

195
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 6: from birth, right, Yeah, I was seven and a half.

196
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 6: The Mets were blue and orange. Their colors were really

197
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 6: fun and it looked like the Yankees were in prison uniforms,

198
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 6: and so that was one thing. And they had a

199
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 6: star player whose name was Strawberry. Strawberry. I was seven

200
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 6: years old. It was the coolest thing in the world.

201
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,599
Speaker 6: That's all it took. If you're seven and you have

202
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 6: a player named Strawberry, you're going to root for that team.

203
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: And then a doctor K came in and then like slowly,

204
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 2: things started snowballing, right, you know.

205
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 6: It became easy to root for the Mets because they

206
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 6: were winning and they were exciting and they were thrilling.

207
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 6: And the Yes weren't terrible in that era, but they

208
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 6: were kind of middling. They never lived up the expectations.

209
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 6: Steinbrenner was yelling at everyone, Mattingly's back was locking up,

210
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 6: Dave Winfield was angry. The Mets were lunatics, lunatics, straight

211
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 6: up lunatics, and to me, that was just so fun.

212
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a it was a really fun time,

213
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: perhaps the best time to be a Mets fan in

214
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 2: the mid eighties.

215
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 6: And that's how I'm indoctrinated, right, So you know, as

216
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 6: you know being you know, a similar h to me,

217
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 6: although you know you're a few years older, so I

218
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 6: think that means you probably had a dose of misery,

219
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 6: right like this. Oh yes, an extra special for you, Yes,

220
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 6: actually one.

221
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, eighty six was was extra special.

222
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: I was actually, you know, a million people claimed to

223
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 2: be at eighty six Game six.

224
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 3: I was actually one of the people who were there.

225
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 3: And my dad was a Red Sox fan, and so my.

226
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: Dad, oh man, yeah, now at that time, okay, at

227
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: that time, Devin, you could bring whatever you wanted into

228
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 2: a stadium. And so my dad brought a bottle of

229
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: champagne into that stadium and he.

230
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 3: Cracked it open before the ninth inning.

231
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 6: Starting to see where you got it from, right, you

232
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 6: got the Mets version of what he gave you as

233
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 6: as a as a Yankee fan, and it's sorry, as

234
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 6: a Red Sox Red Sox fan, Yes, I mean and

235
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 6: he you know, Oh my god, I'm just trying to

236
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 6: imagine what that must have been like. See, like the

237
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 6: thing that all my friends and all the people you know,

238
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 6: I grew up with, the thing everybody I feel like

239
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 6: claims to have been at as the ticker tape parade, Right,

240
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 6: and I always say that the only two people who

241
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 6: who admit that they weren't at the Ticker Tape parade

242
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 6: was me and Doc good. I wasn't there. I was

243
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 6: in school, because you know, I'm not the kind of

244
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 6: kid who's got the courage to like blow off school

245
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 6: and try to get on a train and go to

246
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 6: a ticker Tape parade at ten.

247
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 3: But I didn't think about it.

248
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 2: Okay, Well listen, I'm glad you thought about it.

249
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 3: You really stepped out of your comfort zone. Just yeah,

250
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 3: you did? You know?

251
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 6: I was like, I have there's a math test today.

252
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 3: I don't know. I got you. I got you. Why'd

253
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 3: you decide to write it?

254
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: So you're a miserable Mets fan, although you did you

255
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: had the Subway series in two thousand.

256
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 3: Why did you decide to write this book?

257
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 6: Well, you know, that was the high point of my

258
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 6: not just my sports life, but my actual life. And

259
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 6: it was age ten, right, age ten, And there's something

260
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 6: that parallels the you know, sort of gradual, you know,

261
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 6: dawning realization as a Mets fan of what things are

262
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 6: really going to be that sort of parallels what happens

263
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 6: with your life, right, And I'm not saying that necessarily depressing,

264
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 6: despairing ways that it's all downhill from here. There are

265
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 6: ups and their downs, and sometimes they happen really really

266
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 6: close together. And that's a good lesson that you get

267
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 6: from the Mets and not from say the Mariners, right

268
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 6: or the Lions, other teams that you know are are losers,

269
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 6: but don't do it with anywhere near the flare and

270
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 6: panache that we do. So it seemed like we had

271
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 6: this unique identity, this unique DNA as a team that

272
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 6: hadn't quite been captured in a lot of the things

273
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 6: that get written about the Mets, because usually most Mets

274
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 6: books are about nineteen sixty nine.

275
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 8: When we want the World Series. Nineteen eighty six won

276
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 8: the World Series. There was like sixty other years, and

277
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 8: those to me are more METSI than the two years

278
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 8: that are sort of the exceptions that prove the rule.

279
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 3: I mean, doesn't feel that way to you.

280
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: Describe to the audience what it feels like, what it

281
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: means to be METSI, if you wouldn't mind. Yeah, that

282
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 2: is kind of an adject because there's a special brand

283
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 2: of liv I've said this forever, devid, and there is

284
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 2: a special brand of losing that we go through that

285
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: I can't articulate, but you wrote a fucking book about.

286
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 6: It, so yeah, yeah, it's it's like, you know, there's,

287
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 6: like I say in the book, there's a difference between

288
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 6: being bad anyone can do anyone can do and all

289
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 6: of us do at various junctures in our lives, and

290
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 6: being gifted at losing, which takes a special something in

291
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 6: your DNA that not all of us possess, In fact,

292
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 6: very few of us possess. It is a kind of

293
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 6: Einsteiny and genius that just comes to us naturally, you know,

294
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 6: like it just flows out of our fingertips. Like most

295
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 6: teams have an experience of losing in dramatic fashion in

296
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 6: a playoff series. That happens every year. We lose in

297
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 6: extra innings to our rival on a walk off walk.

298
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 6: We lose on the bottom of the ninth inning at

299
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 6: home in the Game seven of the NLCS, when our

300
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 6: best hitter stares at three straight pitches with the tying

301
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 6: run on second base. Yeah, yes, that tying run at

302
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 6: second base was also the guy who made the greatest

303
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 6: playoff catch in postseason history. Yes, all he had to

304
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 6: do was run one hundred and twenty feet and.

305
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: Right and Dey Chavis, might you have something It's.

306
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 3: Funny you brother.

307
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 5: I graduated college with Willi Randolph's daughter, and so Willy

308
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 5: Randolph gave the commencement speech, and he said, if those

309
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 5: closing lines were and if there is one piece of

310
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 5: advice I can give you.

311
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 4: It's swing the bat. Swing the bat, good lord, Carlos, swing.

312
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 6: The bating the bat.

313
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: It just erupted the crowd.

314
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 3: Look.

315
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 6: So I was actually there. This is my you know,

316
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 6: my example of the World Series that you were actually

317
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 6: at in eighty six. I was actually there at that game.

318
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 6: I was behind home playton in the upper deck, so

319
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 6: I was about three miles up. And you know when

320
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 6: Andy made that catch, I you know, you know, shea

321
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 6: stadium like it would the upper deck would bounce, yes,

322
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 6: when things got and I really thought it was going

323
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 6: to collapse, that's how. And I was like, I don't care,

324
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 6: great way to die.

325
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 3: I'm all right.

326
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 6: And I was also sure that we were going to

327
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 6: make the World like I was sure we were going

328
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 6: to win the World Series. It was the only time

329
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 6: in my Mets life, including eighty six, where I was

330
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 6: sure we were going to win the World Series. And

331
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 6: that's like, as you know, that should be the first

332
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 6: sign to a Mets fan that something is about to

333
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 6: go horribly wrong. And of course it did. And Beltron.

334
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 6: The other thing about Beltron was that like a lot

335
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 6: of people thought he didn't have the inner soul to

336
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 6: come through in the clutch, except that in a very

337
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 6: again METSI way, that is just this sort of expected irony.

338
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 6: He was also, as ever, like he was like the

339
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 6: most clutch playoff hitter of his generation. Right he had

340
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 6: driven in the only run that night, he would have

341
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 6: been no question the NLCS MVP if he had gotten

342
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 6: a single entype game.

343
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 3: Right.

344
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 6: He batted like nine hundred in that series. And at

345
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 6: the same time, it didn't surprise anyone that he struck

346
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 6: out on three pitches, did it?

347
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 3: No? No, not?

348
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: I expected it to be honest without ye, did you, Devin?

349
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 3: You are so right. This is one of the great

350
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: postseason players ever. Carlos Belcher unbelievable.

351
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 7: That's why that money because of what he did in

352
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 7: Houston the like the year before.

353
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 6: The whole reason we signed him is because he almost

354
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 6: single handedly won the World Series.

355
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: We signed them for that moment, and in that moment

356
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: he left his bat on his shoulder.

357
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 6: Yes, you think, and I've always felt this personally, but

358
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 6: I wonder if you agreed that it would have been

359
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 6: slightly like one percent less painful if it had been

360
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 6: a fastball. Because the curve ball.

361
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, yes, yes, yes.

362
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 6: Yes, something just impotence. Your friend Pablo Torre yesterday on

363
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 6: ESPN Daily, when I spoke to him, referred to it

364
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 6: as impotence, and that was just the perfect word. And

365
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 6: now I'm going to use that word forever, because that's

366
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 6: how it felt. A fastball, he blows a.

367
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 9: Fastball by you at one hundred miles an hour when

368
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 9: you're leaning on a car, fine.

369
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 6: And it's over quickly. It's at least just like right.

370
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 2: That curveball felt like it took forever, like paused in midair.

371
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 3: I remember where I was.

372
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 2: I was at the Capitol Grill in Fort Lauderdale, throwing

373
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 2: up my stake because.

374
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 6: I don't know, like this is one of the things

375
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 6: that happens in lot when you watch something live like

376
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 6: that is sound travels. You know, it takes longer for

377
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 6: the sound, right, And so I didn't know it was

378
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 6: a strike until you know, like the Cardinals were already

379
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 6: celebrating because they knew, so we could see them jumping

380
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 6: up and down before we even heard the umpire calls

381
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 6: strike or that's Sam carry up and then lost is

382
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 6: because they went nuts right, and oh it was horrible.

383
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 3: I can't, I can't.

384
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: I've never watched the footage now, But Mike, mikey, Hey,

385
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 2: the the ump really did milk it, like the anticipation

386
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 2: he made.

387
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 3: You wait, the Cardinals knew better. They just like they

388
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 3: knew they were playing the Mets.

389
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 4: It wasn't it wasn't a questionable pitch.

390
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 5: It's not like you can even hang your head on like,

391
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 5: oh no, the And I mean, let's be honest, how

392
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 5: often as an umpire do you get to ring a

393
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 5: guy up on strike three in Game seven like he's like.

394
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 3: There's no way, Like he's gonna make this decision.

395
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's going down in history with this one.

396
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 2: But Mike, you know what I love about Devin is

397
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 2: as he is reliving this, you can see the pain

398
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 2: in his face.

399
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 3: I'm enjoying watching both.

400
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 4: Of you with the pain on your face.

401
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 6: To be honest, I never, I really have never watched it.

402
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 6: There's a whole chapter in my book about Andy Chavis

403
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 6: because who I love and it is really one of

404
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 6: my favorite Mets of all time. And then i'llviously it

405
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 6: ends with that strikeout that I've never watched the footage

406
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 6: because I was there, and I've always said, like, you

407
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 6: don't rewatch the red wedding if you were sitting in

408
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 6: the pews. Right, that's a good point. Yes, I don't

409
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 6: need to see it and I never will.

410
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 5: Not a chance you get that reference to God, not

411
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 5: a chance you get that reference.

412
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 3: But I was a good partner, played along about that.

413
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 4: I got a reference. Well done.

414
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 6: Hey, I'm a little amazed that. But anyway, we'll leave

415
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 6: that alone.

416
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 3: Don't be amazed by anything.

417
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: I do so many ways to lose the amazing true

418
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 2: story of the best worst even sports. Devin Gordon with

419
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: us here Odd Stupidity. I'm excited. Feel free to send

420
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 2: me a copy of the book.

421
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 3: Oh I will right now.

422
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited to read it. Do you have, like,

423
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 2: is there a metal stand of examples of unbelievable ways

424
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 2: the Mets have lost that you would be able to

425
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 2: do for us?

426
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: Do you have like a bronze, silver and gold medalist here?

427
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 6: Or I mean, you know, I mentioned I think gold.

428
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 3: Is endy, Yes, gold is ending.

429
00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 6: You're right, silver is Kenny Rogers, Yeah right, the walk

430
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 6: off walk in the nineteen ninety nine NLCS, I love it.

431
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 6: In Game six extra innings, Mike Piazza hits one of

432
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 6: the biggest home runs in Met's history off John Smoltz

433
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 6: to tie up that game.

434
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 3: Amazing game.

435
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 6: Honestly one of the best games I've ever watched in

436
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 6: my life. It was like nine to nine, ten to ten,

437
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 6: and Kenny Rodgers, who was like a late season acquisition

438
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 6: and actually pitched quite well as a as a spot starter,

439
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 6: walked in the winning run to Andrew Jones, who it's

440
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 6: really hard to walk Andrew Jones, by the way, I

441
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 6: don't you know. I don't know if anybody remembers that,

442
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 6: but Andrew Jones was like nineteen years old. He struck

443
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 6: out three hundred times or something like that.

444
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. He would swing at anything.

445
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 6: Yes, he would swing at literally everything, except to pitch

446
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 6: fourteen feet outside.

447
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 3: Why because if you go back.

448
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 6: And watch the replay of Kenny Rodgers throwing that ball

449
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 6: for he wanted nothing to do with that pitch. He

450
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 6: just wanted to add there and into his offseason. So

451
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 6: that's number two, and I'm gonna let me think about

452
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 6: number three, okay, because the thing that came to mind

453
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 6: is somewhat it's sort of a tie between Luis Castillo

454
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 6: dropping a routine pop fly to hand the Yankees, you know,

455
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 6: one of the regulars.

456
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 2: There could also be a Matt Harvey going you know,

457
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 2: the next night, going in as a reliever and never

458
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: being the same again.

459
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 6: All right, oh my god, that was the same and

460
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 6: so but the other one that I'm also thinking of

461
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 6: is very recent. Oh you know what, I was gonna say,

462
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 6: the twenty nineteen game when we blew a six run

463
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 6: lead in the bottom of the ninth in the Nationals,

464
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 6: because that was such an important game. But the you

465
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 6: know what the answer is. The answer is Tom Glavin.

466
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 6: Tom Glavin killing us on the last day of the

467
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 6: season in two thousand and seven when we were finishing off,

468
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,239
Speaker 6: blowing a seven and a half game lead in like

469
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 6: seventeen days or seven teams like it was chasing us

470
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 6: with a machete, and oh my god, and Tom Glavin,

471
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 6: who's a slipper agent from the Braves, come to pitch

472
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 6: for the Mets, waiting this whole time to stab us

473
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 6: in the gut. He's the starter on the you know,

474
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 6: the last game of the season that is effectively a

475
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 6: must win game for us to get in the playoffs.

476
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 6: He gave up like seven runs in the first inning.

477
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 6: It was over before we even came up to the plate.

478
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 6: And then after the game he was like, Eh, you know,

479
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 6: no big deal, you win, you lose. It happened, and

480
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 6: then he went back to Atlanta in the off season. Yeah,

481
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 6: I mean it was I hate you tongue.

482
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 3: Lapping how many go ahead?

483
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 6: So I guess that's it. Like, I mean, you know,

484
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 6: you might, you might, you might, you might, you might

485
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 6: have you might have other options, but those are the

486
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 6: three that sort of left in the mind.

487
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 3: No, I love yours.

488
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 2: I'm wondering, how many other organizations do you think could

489
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 2: you write a book about like the one you write

490
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 2: about the Mets, Like maybe the Jets?

491
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: Is that it?

492
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 6: The Jets, the Knicks are definitely all my teams. Yeah,

493
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 6: I know too. You know one thing I realized that

494
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 6: I learned over the course of it. It's interesting that

495
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 6: you asked.

496
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 9: The Texas Rangers have a sneakly humiliating and catastrophic history

497
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 9: that we overlook in part because it's just not that

498
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 9: it's not a team that you see on television, like

499
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 9: most of their humiliations don't happen on national TV.

500
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 6: But in the real American context, Texas is just as

501
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 6: big as New York. George W. Bush owns that team, right,

502
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 6: so there's like opportunities for sort of grand stage ineptitude

503
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 6: when you've got a former president who's running your team.

504
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 6: And I don't know if you remember, but they blew

505
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 6: the World Series in twenty eleven every bit as bad

506
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 6: as Boston blew it, you know, with you know, they

507
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 6: had the game one, yes, and they made the same

508
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 6: mistake as John McNamara made with Bill Buckner, which is

509
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 6: they left Nelson Cruz in right field because they wanted

510
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 6: him to be on the field when they won the

511
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 6: World Series, and of course the ball gets hit to him.

512
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 6: It's a hilarious clip if you want to watch someone

513
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 6: try to catch a fly ball to end a World

514
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 6: Series and he comes to nowhere close, they blow the

515
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 6: game and they lose. But Texas has done lots of

516
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 6: things like that, you know. They By the way, Andy

517
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 6: Chavez was supposed to be the defensive replacement. Right he

518
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 6: was on the bench, he actually got his glove and

519
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 6: went out on the field to replace Nelson Cruz. He

520
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 6: just assumed he was gonna Ron Washington was like no, no, no, no,

521
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 6: come on back, and he retires without a World Series ring.

522
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 2: But you're saying that Texas should be getting some criticism

523
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 2: as well, because no one cares about Texas like that.

524
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 6: There's a lot of stuff like that. You know, it's

525
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 6: not the only example when their history of things like

526
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 6: of them.

527
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 9: Doing humiliating things. It's just less examined, like the Mets.

528
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 9: Like you know, the Clippers, right, Ramona Shelfer.

529
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 6: Did an incredible podcast series about all the nonsense that

530
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 6: the Clippers is it ben sure, the state of Minnesota

531
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 6: if you round it up, all of their teams could

532
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 6: probably compete, right.

533
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know when people hate us, Yeah, that's

534
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 3: the deal. It's just it's just.

535
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 6: There really is no when you start to drill down, Oh,

536
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 6: the Cleveland.

537
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 3: Browns, Yeah, there you go, that's a good one.

538
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 6: Yes, the Browns are the one. They are our closest

539
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 6: competitor to the best worst title. The problem is the

540
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 6: only problem with them is it's just not nice to

541
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 6: make fun of Cleveland.

542
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 3: It's just good. I got it right.

543
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,239
Speaker 2: But if there's a team out there that loses as

544
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: well as we do, it would be the Cleveland Browns.

545
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 6: You're right, they are really gifted.

546
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 3: Mike.

547
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,320

716
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,240

717
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:08,000
