Now, number two, Joe Takeef, WEEI, megoinforjones today. It is a Patriots Friday. So Jeremy Springer and Mike on Weno will join us at 1 o'clock. Not at the same time, I don't believe. I think it'll be one after the next. That would be interesting. Unless they want to interview each other, I'd listen to that. That'd be pretty cool. But yeah, those guys in the 1 o'clock hour, still have our Friday 4 pack and we can review all still to come. I want to get to the Red Sox here in a moment, but we were just talking school movies. So real quick, let's just hit a couple of these. We got Jim and Hampton Beach for the school movie.

Jim, what do you got? Hey guys, how's it going? Good school, great. Good, good. Fast times at Ridgemont High. Great one. Good call, Jim. Consider it for sure. This one speaks to our era because I think a little bit older would love and be obsessed with that one and would be on probably a lot of people's list. Yeah. It missed my list, but good one. I'm going to problem with it. I've seen all the 80s high school movies and I have a great appreciation for them. If we were making a top 10 list, it would probably be on it. But my top five is my top five. That's, and I'm not putting it down. That's the beauty of it. That's true. Scott is in Southern California. He joins us next day, Scott. Hey, I'm Tony. You seriously extended a wonderful thing putting you guys on nationally. This is awesome. Oh, sweet. Awesome. Fabulously for the last one of those to be honest. And I've filled die hard socks and passfabs. So, love it. Hey, the water boy, it's set at a college. Come on. It sure is. Good one. SCLSU. And there's a lot of,

there's a lot of educational scenes in that. Yes, there is. Yeah, they're in the classrooms. Yeah. They're learning a lot. Alligators are angry because they got all of them teeth and a toothbrush. Yeah, dola, oblongata. Yeah. All very, very important. Scott actually, New Hampshire, he was hanging on, he wants to talk about Christian Gonzalez, not a school movie. Scott, what do you have? Yeah, no school movie today. Go, go on, guys. Hey, don't. Good. Couple questions real quick. What happens first? Gone's a extension for Bella check fired slash resign. Great question. And then, I'll answer that after what you're thinking. OK, sorry. And what's the bigger number? Tego beverages over the long weekend or brags on today's show. You guys are awesome. I'll hang up. Great two questions, Scott. All right. So, do I answer the first one first or the most recent one? So, Tego drinks versus bragos. Biver six. That's right. Good call. Probably drinks over brats.

OK, you did have a good braggable. I've watched every 80s movie. Yeah, yeah. Well, because I don't want people to say, oh, super mean girls on their shoes. No, put it your way. I said, like I've seen heathers. I've seen fast times. I've seen porkeys. I've seen all of them. All of them breakfast clothes. 16 candles. Oh, I like 16 candles. Yeah, that's OK. We can just sit here and name all of them. If it makes you guys feel better, there's a few say off. I am aware of them. They're just on my top five. All right. So, more drinks, though. More drink. But you are working. You're working girls this weekend. Not like that kind of work girl. She's this different kind of movie. Does a martini count as one drink or multiple drinks? Because there's multiple shots in it. I thought she was going to say, does a martini count as a drink? No, that's a thing. It's like, it's a Detroiters. Oh, we're counting beers now. Does a count as one drink or three drinks? That's one. Because in my mind, I counted as three drinks, because I'm trying to be a response. That is very responsible. I would count that as one. Well, how many martinis do you stop at? One and a third. That's what she said. That was her limit. That's what she said. That's the sweet spot. One and a third. That's just five drinks.

No, it's like four and a half. Yeah, but when I have my long island, I see I'm like, I had one drink. You had one drink. You're a borderline alcoholic. Well, no, there's no borderline about it. I would say I have the one, and then I'm like, that's one. And then if I want a second one, that's the big one. Yeah, if you can stop, that's the whole thing. That's true. I have a problem. I have a problem. Nick, no, I would say. And then I'm like, bring me a glass of Prosecco. This is my water. Yeah, like exactly. Great first question. What happens first? Christian Gonzalez contract extension with the Patriots or Bill Belichick out in North Carolina. I think it's, God, like which one's he ever talked with? I think it's Gonzalez gets done first. I do because the, what is going on? I mean, is Belichick? If Belichick's going to be gone, this is them building a case against Belichick because of the language in his contract, saying he's the one who oversees this entire program. Look how many things connected to him are going, hey, wire in this program. It's we now void his contract and we're able to, and we don't have to pay him.

I mean, that's what they're building. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean, so he, we talked about this yesterday or two days ago. He signed a five year deal, but only three years has guaranteed. So this is year two. But I mean, do they, I think they have no problem at the end of the year, like swallowing next year's contract, but they probably do want to find ways out of it clearly who wouldn't. Do you think he survives the year? I don't think so. Who? Bill Bell, check. Let me take a look. I'm saying, who are they playing next week? Let me see. I call you week to week. Okay, so he survives that. But then they're at Clemson on the 19th of September, and then October 3rd, they're home to Notre Dame. Okay. So like, does he even coach the Notre Dame? I guess the question to me is like, does he get passed? Does he live through October? I mean, I think he lives. I don't think he is. Does he live at UNC through October? I think he's alive. I know. It's a delicate age. I'm not putting him in my jet pool. I'll just say as a football coach. Yeah. Right. Right.

Is his career at UNC alive through October? No. I don't think so. So like they, Michael and Barty resigned. No, no, let me say this first. If you're following like the order of operations, it was like Steve Bell check's gonna be away from the team. What is it? Pemdes? Pemdes? Yeah, you're talking order of operations, isn't it? Remember? Yes. Pemdes. You learned this two days ago. Precise. I forgot already, all right? It's the Long Islands. I would say Steve Bell check was like away from the team, and you're like, oh, it was a health thing. So like, okay. Then Michael and Barty was also like suspended. And you're like, all right. And then time goes on. Spended feels more nefarious than their side dish. Good idea. Right. And then he gets, then he resigns. Then all this stuff comes out. And now you got like drugs. You got like recruiting staffers sleeping with like coaches, players, all allegedly sure. But it's pretty well documented. All these different things are going on. Allegedly documented. And so like the team sucked last year, which was obviously not what they were looking

for when they brought them bill. This year they win the opener, but like any kind of goodwill from that is completely gone. I bet they were already trying to like get out. Once they realized the Jordan Hudson situation, they were like, oh, we may have made a mistake, talking about North Carolina. And now you're like, what is going on like with your son and nothing else? They basically bought a house and the foundation was cracked and the house is like falling down the side of the hill. And now they're trying to find all these different ways to get out of it. Yeah. Right. And so I don't think he survives the season. The way he got what was going last year. And like we were talking about all the off field stuff too. I was like, he's going to be one and done. Like he's in a coach one year. So I was surprised he already got into year two wins the game. But now it's, I think it's only a matter of time. So I would say the best situation is that he, his team is just ripping off wins and they're building this case against him. And there's this like these these these. You shut up. I'm not. No, they beat Notre Dame. Let him walk if they beat Notre Dame.

But there's this case that's building and building. Yeah. If they beat Notre Dame, they probably find a way to keep them. But the problem is it's like, like with most college coaches, it's all his guys. And if what they're saying is true about even just Michael and Barney and Steve Velchak, they're like, Bill, what is this? They're like, what do you do? Are you surprised? Oh, no. No, no, no, no, I'm not surprised by any of it. Yes. Bigger, bigger surprise that they all came back this year. Yes. And his whole crew, rather than this is all coming out and week to week, we're getting a different story about someone else who's acting allegedly poorly and dysfunctionally within his program. I would say that is, yeah, pretty wild. And I mean, even though they beat TCU, I can't imagine they're actually going to be a really good team anyway, just sort of kind of offset. They are though. I'm with you. It's about a story. It's about a story. I think it's a good. A good redemption story. Even if you. Now it's an even bigger redemption story. Sure is. He is up against it. So we were a. Another mayhem here, a family members.

You know although we do those grow up against the big brands as well for Stan, and syndicolu used multiple opinions. But the news is like, put in because there are so many companies like payback, striers, striers, people who deal with the industry in that big council meeting, and festivals, implacatory companies, and so on and so on. Say brнов- персонажas- Now definitely one here. Poroswergers, you're not going to try to get money for me. That's great power and I like my organization more or less. how does that change the contract negotiations the money that he's going to be guaranteed you know i'm sure that would make it there if they win and he's not that it's interesting anyway thank you thank you good question that's on the pile so like i don't think it's gonna happen so i don't know if it like if one game even on either extreme like if they get absolutely torched i don't think Gonzalez then changes he's like oh now i want 120 million i don't think that happens just like if they win somehow some way i don't think they then look at it and they're like hey you know what we were offering this it's now less i don't think it's gonna be that extreme i don't think it's gonna change the money but does it change the urgency it changes

maybe the urgency i think it might also change how fans view it yeah definitely i think we're talking about like who's on whose side right now like their urgency is built off the fans if all the said and it's turning one way and maybe mike rapes feeling it a little bit and going like guys come on like what are we doing yeah we're gonna spend two more games trying to get this together right that's true uh you can weigh in on that six one seven seven seven nine seven nine three seven and that's promised we will get to the red socks where adly rutchman oh yeah welcome back adly to baltimore a couple of home runs socks win we'll get into that coming up in just two minutes here on wwe yet save us as a favorite on the Odyssey app and take Boston sports original everywhere you go you're listening to jones and keith on wwe i got to smile in his face the one one is driven high and deep in the right field welcome back to baltimore gang and they stand and cheer in baltimore pitch swing it a drive they did it again it's cranked a right oh charm city

is adly's home another bomb and the red socks are within a run at three to two we'll flabbing back on the call charm city that's what it sounded like um wwe i last night red socks feet megos orals six to five thanks to former oral adly rutchman with a couple of home runs before we get to the game and rutchman do you have any tape we haven't talked to you since uh the whole will flamming v all of new york conversation which i was like flabbergasted by how overblown it was i didn't think will do anything wrong at all the only thing he did wrong was apologize but other than that get what what were your thoughts on that whole thing i feel that way too i i i like okay so my feeling was he with the stuff about him saying like oh you should go fight him and like that's a little little ridiculous let me fight club oh yeah let me fight club you good shirt those are the parts that of what he was saying that i thought were a little awkward if anything it's just awkward to hear

somebody say like oh fight on really grown at all but the other stuff that he said about jazz in particular like i feel like he it was kind of run of the mill when you're talking about an opponent who's arrival yeah and i feel like jazz chism really like the way he plays will himself is probably said stuff similar i think other announcers have probably said stuff similar about him when when he comes in a town like i just something you shouldn't say violent okay i guess that's where you draw the line like that and and that's just my personal opinion and when he's like they should throw it wells i feel like that's not out of line he didn't say like hit him in the head he didn't say like hurt him he didn't say like go he didn't like cross the line so what i saw was i think more towards what he was saying about jazz okay people trying to interpret that as a certain way i don't knowing will just a little bit that i do yeah i don't see that from his character whatsoever no and so i think it was just you know what it was just an opportunity that i think a lot of Yankees fans took to say like oh look at this with Boston again and i i don't think that that was

the intention whatsoever no not at all and you know anything to help the rivalry i guess i'm in favor of but then they all seem like giant babies about it and like camp shelitlers like waning on it on all these guys but like i think whatever takes to make that playoff series even a little bit more i'm i'm for it yeah also weird unfortunate timing will was he had a scheduled series off that everybody so like the next game he wasn't there and everyone's like losing their minds it's like he wasn't on the schedule he is back he did the game in Baltimore where the balls flying out of the yard down there yeah seven home runs in the game thank you list six of all home runs so Jake that was fine he gave up a couple home runs himself but he went six gave up three runs then they turned it over to Miller and Whitlock which was good to see Chapman gives up the bomb but thankfully Roman Anthony at homeward to give them a three run which was funny because i was like oh okay there's a feel good home or for Roman Anthony like wrong even need it exactly Roman's been so excellent in the couple games since he's been back you couldn't ask for him to do anything more and i was like

that's nice that's got to feel good for him it also keeps going opposite yeah and so you're like okay he's got a lot of power he looks really good looks beyond healthy he just looks really strong and then it's like oh actually they really need it that oh my god that it'd be in the game winner and so you get away with Chapman giving up a long ball he does ultimately pick up the save but Adley Rutchman was batting third in the lineup we hadn't seen him for a little bit i mean me and jones were talking about like is he gonna go on the aisle where is he didn't pinch hit a couple of days ago where probably would have been a good opportunity for him to do it and uh Chad Tracy went on with rich and can and Ted and was like he's dealing with stuff in his elbow I'm like stuff in his elbow like floating particles so i was like that's not a great sign but then he hommers twice and you're like that's great and i i i view that obviously as a positive but then part of me is like does he just know the pictures really well with Baltimore there's a brand and young yeah i mean that guy was no slouch so he was good but i just wonder if like i mean rutchman was catching him not that long yeah yeah it's a good put it's a very solid point

he knows all the stuff so like he might have a good series but then after that we'll me really need to study a little bit more then some of these pictures that he's going up against if that's all it's gonna take if it's not something that's physical you know then then maybe that's a good thing maybe that's something you can work on uh-huh but this was in a weird way i never thought and we had a caller yell at us if you can believe it about uh me and jose are going through like the playoff lineup he's like playoffs like this team's like losing games like losing going crazy i don't think they were in jeopardy of missing the playoffs they had uh five and a half six game lead over multiple teams and there's like two spots not in like one team has to catch them like two teams have to pass them by so i think they're locked in to their spot meaning they're gonna be on the road for the wildcard round for the second year in a row in in new york but at the same time i think that they needed this one because they had struggled or they two and six or something like that in their last eight games the pitching was bad the manor's here he was was pretty gross it was bad so like i think they needed this and i was

optimistic that they were at least going to their starting pictures they weren't going to be thrown openers anymore they they lined up sunny gray they wanted to give him some time which i'm fine with but you throw jake bended out there and you have like your your top guys in the bullpen available i think kind of needed that one it would have been pretty demoralizing especially in a game where rutchman hits a couple of home runs had they lost that game late it would have been pretty crushed and i think when you look at what they've been going through over these last two series i do think a lot of it has to do with contraris being out of that lineup i mean even just i went to the baseballs and boring night all right it was excellent get the jersey well the event afterwards oh the cisco i'm still promised a jersey i haven't gotten a guide you'll get one you'll see we'll see i don't know um it was a great event afterwards the game was awful and when you just look at that lineup when i mean i don't know how much rutchman would have been able to provide in that in that particular game on wednesday but it's like you get into this stretch where it's durand story long down at the bottom line you're like oh my god like this is tough if the top of your lineup

just isn't hitting there you just feel like you're doomed and without Wilson contraris obviously it shortens things up a little bit right you got to move guys around uh they'll have an interesting problem on their hands when contraris does come back because like you just sent mcgassford down but because the best month of august it was one of the best months in the history of baseball and then you send him down you call him up you hit the home run i know yesterday he was what over three but he's making some really good places for a day i can't happen if everybody else is hitting if at least hitting two home runs you can give mcgassford a day or two i agree i agree not off from the team like off from from from hitting is he in paris people want to know as well as in contraris in paris i don't know if you saw the instagram post another instagram post from training room yesterday i didn't think he was actually there so he did post a picture of the iful power in the morning kittrera's in paris what kind of life will tower at two o'clock in the morning well the no no like that i want to know yes mega mega you sick oh dumb that well maybe that's what he meant i don't know yeah i could have been like he had just like wrapped up but he's like here here we go

it's possible listen who do i to maybe down on north carolina messing around with some of the why do what was the context of him there was just a story there's no story you should maybe he was just admiring the architecture could have been he was like i'm on i'm on google photos wow this giddy images right across the middle of it beautiful yes i don't know people we're talking about that yesterday uh let's go to the phones we got johnathan up a new hamster what's going on johnathan good morning human for me and my madness that i read an article in sports illustrate this morning about the possibility of garrick crochet and tenor halk of all people adding to that will leave bullpen it seems like it's not a dream anymore we forget about tenor halk it was only two years ago that he was an all star with a three one two year array in thirty stats he had one of the best strikeout to walk ratios in the game two years ago if you can add those to guys to give you an aiming or two and the fifth or six and then hand it over to the other four guys

at the end of the bullpen i mean that's a dream i would love to see that all right johnathan i'm not holding my breath in tenor halk johnathan johnathan read a sports illustrated article here of 2026 they still sports hosted it made his day are they still being written by a i no i think so they have some real writers over there be kind well we don't know our people are working on that whole thing they were writing articles of the i don't want to hear people complaining about Pablo torris the only one who's out there doing real journalism and everybody's paying pat mac a fee then you're like the sports illustrated even have writers series of but they stop these spots it used to be like a full magazine they got caught with a couple bots a couple bots not some very real writers okay well i'd love to meet one on the wild someday and they're talking about gare crochet and tenor halk crochet i i guess i wouldn't completely shut the door on him coming back i just wonder what he'd be able to do so my idea before was have him start throwing inning and then a bail pitch yeah bail struggling now i then i was there at that

ranger game when they gave up four and one inning and i was like i don't like this planet anymore i don't like that there were levers though if they're all healthy are pretty good the red socks yeah so like yeah if you can add crochet to it okay but like so now you have chatman you have wit lock you have miller hopefully get gararrow back no wiser what no wiser it was slain what's his deal i don't know yeah so i mean all those guys it's a pair's right this time here i'm a person so i don't know i but like crochet you would take how come out i'm not hold my breath on tenor halk returning all right it's a friday so let's get to our four pack coming up it's jones and keef mega infor jones here on wwe yet you want a career that pays how about forty to seventy five dollars an hour in total compensation including healthcare and retirement and getting paid volume learn that's with the union building trades offer st.

the associated press the prosecutors could decide to start another trial they could offer a plea deal or she could um her group could her representation rather could push to drop the charges completely she would then be confined to an institution um for her mental health and mental health facility this is like a i'm not very close to i haven't at all my wife has so i got she'll tell me about it speaking from an expert opinion at all it's too sad of a story for me to get to follow day today it's it's really really really really depressing and tragic um but i will say what has caught my attention is just the way that the jury has gone like the deliberations to me are more fascinating than anything else the other the the whole context of it is just really sad it's billy's algorithm right now right bill is non-stop you can't even get away from it if you click on one thing and all of a sudden i'm in the process yeah i don't like I don't like seeing the stuff on social media but

uh it's been a bummer but the the legal process here yeah it's just it's i i would love for the one juror to write something exorgive a podcast interview or something probably will sit down explain yeah by my why they are so convicted in their opinion that they're sitting there with 11 other people who are probably screaming their heads off yeah like please let's let's get this over with maybe uh that juror will call the big dog show tomorrow that'd be a big get over labor day weekend that absolutely would all right billy what do we got the four pack today how much fantasy football leagues is too many fantasy football leagues do we discuss this before did we i don't know um i'm going to say any more than two okay i thought you were going to say any more than just zero is the right number i don't play fantasy you don't i also i'm also not invited to the official jones and key fantasy you had an opportunity though to work your way up you were invited to the pain like well that's how it works anybody else had to work their way up mitch twitch mitch okay

zack who's running our twitch today zack is in that league josh is in that league real life tom real life tom dice okay if the loaded league i'm gonna i'm gonna determine the draft order later to be clear i'm just not an organized enough person to dedicate myself to fantasy but you look down upon it no okay if like uh if i was with somebody who was really into fantasy football i would say two leagues is the once you start going on beyond two and i'm not including like a survivor league in that i'm like a ball like a drafts of the draft um you can throw on some survivors or some other fun stuff on the side but if you're getting beyond two one of those is going to be dragon i agree or you're going to be way too intense over the weekend dealing with that and i don't like that uh two two is the number i think one is actually ideal you can just focus all your time and energy on that two is fine anything beyond that it's too much of the well i need this guy to get exactly 11 points because i'm playing against him in this league but i have him in this other league and then it's

like not fun anymore yeah and then it's just like it's not your your forget who you're brooding for you don't even remember who's on your team anymore or start i'll go with two as well what's more likely the Patriots win the Super Bowl or miss the playoffs oh this is gonna sound crazy i'm gonna say win the Super Bowl because when you when you look at the weaknesses of the team i think that it really just has to do with the depth of the team and i'm always blue chip talent over depth because the injuries are gonna happen like they're gonna happen even if you have crazy depth you see teams like the browns a couple years ago going down to like the third string quarterback like you can't control that so if i'm gonna sit here and say like well if they're they don't get you know killed by injuries then they're gonna be great like to me the injury is just such a big out that i like the team for the way that it's constructed as a football team yeah i think that they do have a better chance of winning the Super Bowl there they got to get this Gonzalez thing figured out you got to get a good version of Gonzalez but even if they didn't have Gonzalez i think they might be able to see the playoffs i think that yeah i do i'm their wild card team right

their division outside of Buffalo which Buffalo is a real like not wild card team but a wild card because they have a new coach like their division is awful they have two of the worst teams maybe of the NFL of the last three years in their division yeah so i think they could win i mean there's seven playoffs spots to like yeah i'm with you i think they have more likely chance to win the Super Bowl i think right now they might have the best chance to win the aft again like last year i would say the sea hawks and the Rams are better teams and they could still lose obviously to you know Broncos bills Ravens whatever but i think they're just as good if not better than all those teams as well so yeah i'll say more likely to win the Super Bowl what is your favorite sports documentary oh okay the one that comes to the mind immediately for me is the 30 for 30 i forget the name of it but it's the one with the oj chase oh my god and it's everything that's going on whatever the date was 19 and four everything that's happening that day because it was one of the craziest days most eventful days in sports it was that i like that one because i like that

there's no talking heads in it the way that the director put that one together is all this kind of all the newscasts and it's just i don't know it was very interesting setup to me that was really really good yeah it was like something from every sport too because it wasn't like the ranger Stanley Cup parade so like something from high obviously the md final clearly uh then was it the world cup like there was a million things going on at once golly right that was really good documentary um it's hoop dreams for me hoop dreams was in it's insanely i feel like ahead of its time the way it had so much footage and they followed these guys around for so long that you were like rooting for these guys and unfortunately none of them neither of them i should say really made it i mean one of them i think you played at marquette but then you got hurt so like he at least went d1 but you're like rooting for these guys the whole time or like they could be in the mb it's like or no more likely it's going to be a path that does not lead to the mba but like such access and that movie came out like the i think 94 actually also and so really really good i have enjoyed a lot of the 30 for 30s there's been a lot of good

ways and uh the um in terms of docu series oh yeah i do think the crown jewel is last year last answer is fun which is great because it's recent it was good uh something city was a good one i was just the best all time but like something city was way better than i thought it's gonna be i think that Celtic city was a little bit because it's the same director correct i think so it i think it was a little more uneven than the last dance where the last dance pretty much every episode was a banger yeah yeah Celtic city you had some episodes that were so moving and incredible and then somewhere you're like yeah it's the bird magic stuff like we've been through this before for sure i finally what was your favorite grade in school oh i picked one one grade obviously 12th grade senior year 12th grade oh yeah super senior yeah oh yeah yeah that's super senior just brought senior on your car did you do that oh yeah we did did you do that i went to a very traditional high school okay it was very corny so it was like just like Friday night lights it stays in confused like we used to have air raid freshman we

doing a lot of that yeah we used to have this thing i kiddo not where you would buy a ribbon at the beginning of the week that would support the football team so the ribbon would say like cage the tigers like that for who you're playing hold your mask on and then you tie it to your back pack oh that's cool and you have that for the rest for the rest of the week very corny i like it it was everybody was very into it we were the trojans nice so there were a lot of illegal um chance that we weren't allowed couldn't say them yeah no i i could see how that there'd be an issue with that off for me it's eighth grade i've hit this very clear many times eighth grade i was at my physical mental peak i was the smartest in every fan no i was like i was this height i was like i was i somehow i was smarter than i was better looking than i was more athletic than i'm waiting eighth grade was the ultimate who told you you were better looking when you were in every person every person i know that i'm very worried about the adults surrounding it no i'm just think like my peers at that time like how i was viewed was was better in eighth grade than any

other year of my life if i go back to eighth grade i was your peak yeah yeah eighth grade some people peaking high school not me middle school same middle schools yeah for you two eighth grade all eight grade yeah i was so sad to see eighth grade go i was devastated when eighth grade was over yeah high school was just like another way it was like it was nothing high schools like all right isn't everybody horrified by their middle school years i don't know that eighth grade yeah maybe girl maybe girls more than guys i was like i love i'm with you the same boat like i reached five eight and fifth and eighth grade and never grew i was this height in like 40 pounds less like what the hell yeah i just came old wide screen i also i always change just you know t.h. Jackson sit i also have races for like six years yeah as you i never did as you can tell by my teeth i never had braces so yeah i didn't have to deal with that and i didn't deal with any of that so anyway eighth grade for me all right to our phones we have uh just an in dc joins us right now what's going on just in hey folks um i've got a fun stat for you guys all right the adley rutchman was the first player ever

hit two home runs for one team in a season and then later on switch teams and play for the team that he originally hit two home runs against and then hit two home runs against his former team how about that that's a fun fact and then here's another fun fact that we should monitor he got a chorus fired because the first time he hit two home runs was the night that Alice chorega fired and i think he's also going to be responsible for getting breslo and trared tracy fired so we made it was going to come back to us again circle back around yeah all right we we may have some history to monitor no but um i just wanted to shout out jimai jones last night he's split in the second base and we had a great view at the game of it and he basically took out the oriel second basement to keep the ending alive to get Nick sogard up there to hit that two home run so like just good job uh i'm sung hero really cool to see and then i wanted to point out um i think this team is gonna lose in two games to the yankees but tonight start by ranger sworez and i'd love to hear you guys discuss this i think maybe one of the most important because the yankees sock against left-handed

pitching and they destroy right-handed pitching so the best rotation going into this is against the yankees may be Bennett sworez and totally in some order even though gray has been pitching really well so sworez has been absolute junk lately yeah the oriels can't hit left-handed pitching and i just want to like would we feel more comfortable about sworez if he gets on a roll here before the playoffs yep good call just it i swaras is sort of scared me like so i'd always had him as like i go gray game one then swaras too and now it's like you'd put totally to and i get his point about the lefty thing but like i'm not going to run away from sunny gray yeah but swaras he hasn't pitched six innings in a game since june 29 that's a while ago in his eRA this month is five point seven zero or last month i guess i should say august was five point seven zero so yeah i would like to say this for it's supposed to be great in the post season yeah he's supposed to be nails in the post season so maybe this is like when you train for marathon and for the two weeks before the marathon you run really slowly and badly because you're the i forget

what the word is that i'm waiting for but you're basically you're like pulling back before you rear forward for the race uh that could be actually i think his uh career splits would actually indicate that meaning like really good first half pitcher kind of struggles in the second half but then is able to turn around the playoffs so maybe that's exactly what we're going to get uh let's go to mike in wednesday i'm scared of this call what do you got mike hi hey case did you look more closely at that um instagram page that you thought was wilson contraris because unless he's morphed into like a very petite latino man i don't think that that's the correct page all right i would so i saw the other day everybody else was sharing it and passing it around so if you think it's somebody else would so be it but that's where there's no there's not one pitcher of wilson contraris himself on that page it's just the same kind of the petite latino man with the same name it i don't think that's his page all right it was it was it was 500,000 followers was followed by the red socks in nissen yeah so i was mike it has a check mark i oh my god i didn't hang up on him

it it was his account right it's it's very i went to it to make sure that it was like real it's verified when i'm looking at yeah i might yeah i might be looking at the wrong thing but there are multiple wilson contraris 40s on instagram well i don't doubt it but i bet he's a ten couldn't find the yesterday so he thought he was blocked no i bet he's the one that's verified and i bet he's the one that has the most followers let's be my guess well this is a lovely angle of the iful tower so it also might not be his picture he might just be appreciating architecture i mean it's the beautiful gift that we gave to france and there's actually it's a ton of pictures of him on the instagram account want to go there what a weird call okay i would check your stuff before you call it is what i would do i don't he was telling you to check your stuff i'm sure i'm i sound like you're right sir and volley so there you go i guess that's how it's done also i don't really care because i never really thought that he was there anyway i don't think he was there so what is the meaning of it i don't want people to try to figure that out then it's just

another athlete posting stuff that i think people will talk about i guess like a similar to the i ball emoji run free agency yep what he's going to france it's just like hey watch this i'll let's post a picture for france it might do it happens uh looks like we might have an update here on our patreon friday guest Jeremy springer and mike on one new now closer to twelve thirty oh exciting so set your uh your alarms for that go nowhere you can also join the program talking uh christian gonzalez talking red socks add the rutchman candle life yesterday six one seven seven seven nine seven ninety three sevens Jones and Keith with mega infra Jones on wwe yet what if your next move wasn't another job but a career the saint louis building and construction trades are looking for the next generation to build what's next earn while you learn through a union apprenticeship no massive student loan debt just real training real skills and real opportunities many union trades earn forty to seventy five dollars an hour in total compensation including health care and retirement with major construction projects happening across saint louis and Missouri there's never been a better time to get started build your future visit mo union

careers dot com today now the Jones and Keith on wwe i down there the out of the app and listen on demand anytime i'm back here on jones to keep wwe i'm going for Jones today we it's a patriot's friday we have michael and when you and special teams coordinator a jermy springer joining us uh... around twelve thirty twelve forty five here today uh christian gonzalez still remains without a contract talking about that often on and the red socks got uh i would say much needed when yesterday roman anthony homer add the rutchman was not only in the lineup of the homer twice and mega we got a nice salvation by his old uh... baltimore crows so nice they were really into it so nice i do have a correction issue okay the text line is freaking out well that happens that happens a lot apparently the u.s. did not give the i full-tower to france they didn't i thought it was like i thought it was a gift swap okay i thought they gave us the statue of liberty and we gave them the i full-tower i said not a fair trade if that was true

has the statue of liberty is way cooler no what the devil towers like more is probably cooler really yeah oh i take lady liberty you'd rather have the statual france has a life of a statue liberty also there are two wait what do you mean this is another statue liberty and they're like a knockoff one that they're like you guys can have that one is it bigger or smaller i think it's the same size think it's exactly what they're twins are you okay no it's what i got this statue of liberty is a twin that's not unique yeah not even its own thing you still take the uh the second statue of liberty over the apple tower where is this other statue of liberty liberty it's probably france somewhere is it in Paris nick is uh okay well yeah i full tower he said too much you like that last color doesn't really will some contrarians i g the i full tower was for the world's fair and it's celebrated the French Revolution got it so that's that's my error i'm sorry i'm not trying to misinformed people there's another one in Paris the other statue liberty is Paris i feel like

that's never in the guidebooks i've been in Paris do they have like walkie talkie set up in each one where you can like talk to each other i'd be kind of need to have a really long straight it is really long string that goes through when it comes to the side hold on or maybe that's how they spy on us did they just like accidentally make two and they gave one to the us like what do we do with this one like to America tell me man right i'm beating the english here you go i never knew that not bad more you know crazy that is a good that is good information uh let's go to Ryan in new jersey next up on the program what's up Ryan hey quick hitters um first Keith you're insane nobody ever says middle school grades are their best grades because that's when you humans are evil and out to get each other all the time sadly i was the man i don't know yeah well that knows people usually don't turn out to be much afterwards so you can throw in the blanks on that um the best sport stock is 9.79 on the usbm that one the Carl Lewis Ben Johnson steroids oh yeah i like that one that was good and classic that's a great watch but with the reason i called so um 10 miles unfortunately outside

of Philadelphia here and the ranger swear as um there's this myth that seems to be propagating on the airwaves up there that um somehow he's like sandy co-facts or like jack morris he is what he is he throws 85 junk pitches and goes you're either going to get five innings four runs or you're going to get five and a third innings and two runs there so the good the good thing about him and the playoffs is he never changes so maybe that's good enough when they pull guys after four innings starters in the playoffs but he is not the stopper he's not going to go out there and you seven so oh no if you're if you're that's Justin i was just commenting on Justin's right that's not what it what this this pivot's on you know if they're gonna they're gonna win they got a hit and they their offense is just looking sketchy as all heck if they're gonna go into the Bronx thanks to their own miserable form and last weekend gave themselves no shot they're probably gonna get swept because it's gonna be the offense because you know er it ranger swear is going to give up a three-room bomb to error judge at that point that's probably what's gonna happen so don't get your hopes up on as my is my is my take thanks guys all right right i guess i would sort of

split the difference there i don't think he's gonna go out there and throw seven eight nine innings but i don't know if anybody really does that in the playoffs anymore i mean such it's so few when you have like the Madison bum gardeners of the world that go out there and just dominate if if ranger suarez gave you five scoreless or five innings one run in the playoffs with the bullpen they have i'll take it i don't so his career numbers in the playoffs all with filly all over the last four years eleven games pitched eight starts forty two and two thirds innings he has a one point four eight e r a okay that's insane that's awesome that's insane yeah i'll take it and so even if it's five six innings that's great and so maybe there is some like already struggling a little bit right now but that's enough of a sample size at least for me to say like all right the guys ready to go in the playoffs i am in a rabbit hole of statuary lyrics the text line says the replica in France is only 37 feet tall oh in your face Nick that the one in america is 151 feet tall so how about

that okay well i at least another or two also true somebody on the text line is trying to tell me there was a third one and it's saying in the ocean on the way over i don't believe that well i have to go look at i just googled it so i was gonna have to go look uh it's good to mat in holi oak also about the iful tower mat what do you have well i've thought about it here and there for a while now this picture came out and mega saying the certain angle in the way it looks maybe think about something this picture happened right after roman antony came back roman antony's kind of famous for iful tower and i think oh my god you can't say that why show profanity oh my god good setup good setup for that i uh i thought i think kids are not all back in school right now no they're not they have today off for some reason they want to go to school one day and third day and now they're back they get

the day off again today it's nice though if he's like shouting out is is it by you for for hitting well because roman antony has been fantastic since he came back honestly it's the best theory i've heard the closest thing to be being a good teammate well above all red stock guy what do we think of when we think of roman antony i guess that red stock stock brought to you by avalino's restaurant and catering medford's kitchen for 34 years uh Jeremy springer and mike on when it will join us from 12 30 12 45 we'll get back to our christian gizala's conversation as he spoke yesterday at his locker what does it mean do you think he's playing on wednesday against the seahawks we'll get to that in just two minutes here on wwe yet you want a career that pays how about 40 to 75 dollars an hour in total compensation including healthcare retirement and getting paid while learning that's what the union building trades offer st. louis is booming with projects and contractors need the next generation of skilled workers right now skip the dead in jobs skip the mountain of student debt learn a trade
