How did the hosts open Hour 1 and set the show’s agenda?
This hour of Overdrive is powered by FanDuel. FanDuel, bringing you everything from the opening line to the final score.
All right, here we go, Overdrive, off and running. PSN 1050 on the PSN app, your home smart speaker, up on PSN 4, up on YouTube Live, Brian Hayes, Keegan Matheson, Carol Waglin in studio today. How's everyone doing?
I already messed up my mic, so it's... What happened?
What are you doing?
Every time... Well, there's gaps between when I come in here and every time I forget, is red mean I'm live or does gray mean I'm live?
Yes, red is on.
But red means stop, and it messes with my head every single time I'm in here, and I just can't get it through my skull.
Want JP to run the operation?
No, I don't, because I also don't trust anyone.
So I want to run my own thing.
But Keegan, I kid you not, every single time I do this show, I have a moment of panic where I'm like, am I live? Am I not live? Do I need to turn my mic on?
You're on. It's got to be red. As long as it's red, it's all good. Keegan, you have faith in JP. You allow him to basically run the whole operation.
You let them run your mic for you?
Everyone. Absolutely. You know what? I took control actually yesterday. I graduated through adulthood here at TSN. I now control my own buttons. We almost had a miss at the end, you know, but I don't think I screwed it up too much yesterday. No, you got it. I've simplified myself. But I'm worried about it. I'm worried about it.
Yeah.
We're in certain control of the Starship.
You do the show long enough. You need to be able to control your own stuff. It's like driving a stick shift. Yeah, exactly. Like at some point, you just never know when you're going to need to turn it off for whatever particular reason. But anyway, good to see you guys. And tracking the Jays, they might actually find a way to win a series here, which is very exciting. After yesterday, we spent the whole day talking about Shane Bieber and his possible trade value. And if he had a great start last night, he was going to garner serious attention around the league. And then, of course, he doesn't even get out of the first inning. It didn't go that way. It did not go. It went the complete opposite way of positive.
The strangest I've seen all year. Like, this is a strange year. That was the strangest inning of baseball. I've seen it. If Trey Savage does that, okay. He throws the baseball very hard. If Dylan Cease does that, he throws real hard. Sometimes you start to spray it. This is the control artist. And suddenly he had no idea where it was going. I know John Schneider told media down there in Washington that it was humid. The ball was sweaty and slipping out. I guess Washington had drier hands. I don't know. Late start. Maybe you grant him that.
I don't know.
I love all the people online who are like, this is how badly Shane Bieber wants to be in Toronto.
Yeah. Maybe that's what it is, right? That was a big part of it when he opted in. It wasn't because his arm was falling off. It was because the clubhouse was so much fun, right? Like, everyone bought into that. That's how high the vibes were, that people allow themselves to be so delusional that Shane Bieber, who had been here for like three months... would put aside a massive contract to opt in because the clubhouse is so much fun. And his family was so welcomed in Toronto. That's legitimately where we were. You want to know the best way to take care of a family?
Money.
Yes. Like a $60 million contract.
It makes things a lot easier. I can take care of people with money.
But, yeah, that was a weird one last night. So, anyway, we'll see what happens with the Jays today. And there's a lot going on in baseball. We've got some video and some audio we're going to play a little bit later on. Don Mattingly and Bryce Harper. It's getting a little spicy down there in Philly. And, obviously, Donny Baseball, a guy we're very familiar with up here. And I'm sure they're missing him. I don't know what the tangible value is of Mattingly still being on the staff. I don't know what it would represent this year.
