Transcription

Chapter 1: What happened in the Mets vs. Pirates game?

0.031 - 8.164 Boomer Esiason

The Mets beat the Pirates 11-7 yesterday. Just a couple of quickies and we'll move on. Carson Bench, just because it was his first game as a pro, hit the home run late in the game.

0

Chapter 2: How did Carson Benge perform in his MLB debut?

8.184 - 11.249 Boomer Esiason

And this is after he had struck out a couple of times. So what changed for him?

0

11.269 - 20.284 Gio

Just calmed down. Just like deep breath, calmed down. Great atmosphere, great fans. Just trying to bring myself back down so I can compete.

0

20.264 - 36.053 Boomer Esiason

And the Met offense did a good job early because Pittsburgh took a 2-0 lead on the home run. They were down 2-0. They came back with five runs. Five innings then for Freddy Peralta as he got the win in his Met debut on the mound. And even he credits the offense. Big day for them.

0

36.254 - 41.784 Freddy Peralta

Amazing, man. I asked them earlier today before the game. I said, I need some runs from you guys. Damn, that was crazy.

0

43.288 - 45.052 Unknown

Yeah. Against a really good pitcher.

45.072 - 46.495 Freddy Peralta

Yeah, great pitcher.

46.515 - 49.06 Unknown

You know, it wasn't his day today, but it's part of the game.

49.081 - 61.383 Boomer Esiason

And that's Paul Skeens, who didn't last beyond, well, he didn't get through the first inning, as a matter of fact, and O'Neal Cruz was terrible in center field, and so the Mets... Take the opener. They will get the day off. They will resume tomorrow. David Peterson takes on Mitch Keller.

Chapter 3: What did Freddy Peralta say about the Mets' offense?

62.485 - 77.405 Boomer Esiason

Yankee-wise, so a couple of things here before I get to them because it's going to lead into it. You will see. One other game of note yesterday would be the Orioles beating the Twins 2-1. Notable because Pete Alonso made his Orioles debut. Got a very nice ovation from the Baltimore fans.

0

77.585 - 91.804 Pete Alonso

Just for them to embrace me. Zero at-bats in just right before that first one is really special. And I mean, it's a dream come true, you know, to have that feeling. And it's such a blessing. And I'm happy we got the win for them.

0

91.824 - 111.328 Boomer Esiason

And so good for him. And so that takes us to Seinfeld now with Tommy. You'll see this is all kind of related. They started talking about the Mets changing direction and changing players. And Seinfeld certainly seemed like he was an Alonzo guy, but also understood that it was time to move on in the GM's eyes. And Tommy says, you know what? Good. Baltimore is the right place to go. You're right.

0

111.388 - 112.349 Tommy Lugauer

That's important.

0

112.49 - 127.191 Unknown

Right? You wish them the best in Baltimore because it doesn't matter. The Orioles are just, if anything, for us, they're almost like an ally because they could go beat the Yankees. So if anything, we rented Pete Alonso out to a team that could stick it to the Yankees, and that's a good thing.

127.211 - 138.747 Boomer Esiason

And so this was part of their conversation last night on the fan, which, by the way, you can catch it on YouTube or the Odyssey at Seinfeld. And this is, again, I think we should be making a promo of this, why and when and how he called in.

138.727 - 142.572 Tommy Lugauer

I was in California, actually, listening on the Odyssey radio app.

142.753 - 151.545 Boomer Esiason

That's it. There's the promo. Jerry Seinfeld listening to the radio station on the free Odyssey app. And that takes us to the Yankees and Seinfeld related as well.

151.745 - 177.295 Unknown

Just one second. I'd like to say the range of listener that we have here on WFAN. We had a man who was living in the woods in Suffolk County for a decade. under a blanket in snow listening to a transistor radio and taking any money he had to go buy batteries to make sure that radio worked. And Jerry Seinfeld, who's about a billionaire, just right about there, also listening to the radio station.

Chapter 4: What was Jerry Seinfeld's take on Pete Alonso's trade?

0

239.791 - 242.315 Larry David

I gotta talk into the remote and sound like an idiot.

0

242.435 - 244.959 Boomer Esiason

It's very well done, you know, so it was kind of fun.

0

244.999 - 264.972 Unknown

I think Al Duke should have done that. I'm confused by this commercial because I did watch it. The point that Larry David's character is is that the Yankees are on a million channels. Michael K's solution is to tell him to tune to Yes, but they're not on Yes all the time. That's what I thought was the point of Larry David's confusion. But the commercial is...

0

264.952 - 279.636 Unknown

is just essentially saying, tune to the Yes Network. They're not there a lot of the time. I just thought it was Larry David. I thought it was fun. You're probably right, though, because he had two different remotes. Yes, Larry's confused because some days it's on Apple, some days it's on Amazon.

280.358 - 282.481 Tommy Lugauer

And now you're confused.

282.662 - 294 Boomer Esiason

Correct. Then when they're on Amazon every Wednesday, if you talk into your remote and say, put the Yankee game on, will that take you to Amazon Prime? I guess you have to have it, though, on your TV. You also have to have a remote that listens to you.

294.08 - 295.563 Unknown

I don't have a remote that listens to you.

295.703 - 296.003 Boomer Esiason

Oh, I do. No?

Chapter 5: How did Larry David's commercial relate to the Yankees?

514.559 - 528.413 Unknown

I mean, we know why he knows. Yes. Because his granddaughter's mother is now dating Tiger. Yes, yes. Right. But Liger was supposed to say that himself.

0

528.433 - 539.543 Boomer Esiason

I would agree. I thought that that was kind of interesting. We were to a moment of the day for our caller. Lisa. Lisa. So we were talking about, and there was a bunch today. I can only go with what I heard, though.

0

539.584 - 556.634 Boomer Esiason

So while we were talking about the new rookie in Detroit and the ties to this radio station, and, of course, Mike back in the day when Mike couldn't pronounce his own producer's name, Chris McMoneagle, I feel like we should have some sort of a show bet for McGonigal. Like, this is our new guy. Oh, okay. McGonagall.

0

556.654 - 557.895 Tommy Lugauer

And plus he plays for the Tigers.

0

557.915 - 566.267 Unknown

And he plays... I love the fact that he plays for the Tigers. How great would it be if when Mike Francesa talks about him, he calls him McMonagall?

566.387 - 570.412 Boomer Esiason

And this guy for the Tigers, McMonagall?

570.432 - 572.635 Unknown

Amazing start.

572.655 - 574.057 Boomer Esiason

Now that would be awesome.

576.06 - 578.423 Tommy Lugauer

Is it the kid from, you know, is it McLaughlin?
