[SPEAKER_04]: All right, welcome to our show.

[SPEAKER_04]: Michael Mera, Radio Entertainment.

[SPEAKER_04]: You can listen to the Michael Mera Show at MichaelMeraShow.com.

[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, what a happy year.

[SPEAKER_10]: It's a podcast fun.

[SPEAKER_10]: I want excitement.

[SPEAKER_10]: We have today.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's the Michael Mera Show with Michael Mera and Rob Spiewack.

[SPEAKER_04]: Now here's Mike.

[SPEAKER_04]: All right.

[SPEAKER_08]: Hi.

[SPEAKER_06]: It's, it's hot day.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, yeah, and of course he wears a hat to that.

[SPEAKER_08]: Oh my god.

[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.

[SPEAKER_09]: I just wanted to promote this show.

[SPEAKER_09]: Only if you have an Orioles hat.

[SPEAKER_06]: Situational awareness Rob, that's all it is.

[SPEAKER_06]: Situational awareness.

[SPEAKER_06]: We had a bet that I would wear a hat if the Red Sox got swept by the Orioles and

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_06]: We'll get to the details of the game in a second here, but it was a long one, Josh.

[SPEAKER_06]: It was a lot, and I knew Josh would be up, so I texted him right after the game.

[SPEAKER_06]: And it was, was it an extra inning situation?

[SPEAKER_06]: It was a long game.

[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you for identifying that.

[SPEAKER_06]: Very good, non-sports guy.

[SPEAKER_06]: That's good.

[SPEAKER_06]: It was an extra inning game.

[SPEAKER_06]: Well, no, I mean, I'm spotlighting a hat and you put a hat on.

[SPEAKER_06]: It's just, you know, it's simple stuff.

[SPEAKER_06]: This is my rocket science.

[SPEAKER_09]: I understand.

[SPEAKER_06]: But yeah, you're correct, I believe.

[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I mean, I think that it's rare now for me outside of football season to have a sporting event really, really

[SPEAKER_06]: get to that feeling that where I have trouble winding down.

[SPEAKER_06]: So I don't like night games.

[SPEAKER_06]: It's why, uh, in the NFL, I hate it because if I get, if I get into a tense situation, winner lose, I'm going to be wound up until

[SPEAKER_06]: an hour at least minimum an hour afterwards, which I was last night and is that I hate to interrupt because I mean I've I've known people like this in my family.

[SPEAKER_08]: They get worked up and they can't go to bed.

[SPEAKER_08]: It's doesn't affect me because sports aren't important to me.

[SPEAKER_08]: Would you get that worked up if it was a night game if you didn't have a bet invested in it?

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, with the game last night.

[SPEAKER_06]: So the fact that the bet the bet was just added fuel to the fire.

[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_06]: That was just because it was really a game that I didn't watch the whole game.

[SPEAKER_06]: I came in late because I thought the Red Sox were in their little malaise that they were in and when you load up the bases,

[SPEAKER_06]: three times and can't get one run across you got a bad team and I know they've had a lot of runs where they've done really well because they explode for like sixteen runs and then they can't hit an elephant in the ass with a broom and so

[SPEAKER_06]: and I'll ask our Orioles expert here.

[SPEAKER_06]: I am told they're catching the Orioles at a bad time because the Orioles are having a pretty good little run.

[SPEAKER_09]: The Orioles have been very hot for the past week or two.

[SPEAKER_09]: In fact, what's crazy is if you look at the Orioles schedule since the beginning of June, they're one of the top five baseball teams.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, in baseball since June, they did so bad in April and May that they blew their whole season.

[SPEAKER_06]: They did.

[SPEAKER_06]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_06]: That's a bummer, but, you know, it's nice because you can make these little bets.

[SPEAKER_06]: And as Josh informed me, we will be able to revisit this rivalry in a very short time when the Red Sox go down to Baltimore for a four game series, which would be a real series.

[SPEAKER_06]: Not the two game, suck a thorn.

[SPEAKER_06]: That was in the same way last night.

[SPEAKER_08]: I guess Boston to Baltimore is not like a halfway point to Florida.

[SPEAKER_04]: All right, welcome to our show. [SPEAKER_04]: Michael Mera, Radio Entertainment. [SPEAKER_04]: You can listen to the Michael Mera Show at MichaelMeraShow.com.

[SPEAKER_08]: So you wouldn't like you guys couldn't like meet there or anything. [SPEAKER_08]: Like go to Baltimore and meet up for the series, right? [SPEAKER_08]: You couldn't travel up. [SPEAKER_09]: What drives possible. [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, it's the same drive either way. [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, well, I'm talking about the Orioles splitting that I'm the red socks splitting the difference by coming closer is what I meant. [SPEAKER_08]: So, what would you possibly do the game? [SPEAKER_08]: You should come up. [SPEAKER_08]: I've got a room for you. [SPEAKER_06]: No, I got plenty of travel coming up for me is taking [SPEAKER_06]: my wife's journey in September to fly into hurricane central. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, the different republic and do so. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm not sure that's going to be happening. [SPEAKER_06]: The thing about it, first of all, this is a little bigger than that. [SPEAKER_08]: I was going to say it looked like it hadn't really been broken. [SPEAKER_08]: Good. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, this is it. [SPEAKER_06]: This is this one he played a tournament for the Orioles. [SPEAKER_06]: That was his team when he played a tournament pitch course for listenings in this. [SPEAKER_06]: So I'm proud of my little guy and today he's off to golf auditions. [SPEAKER_06]: I could have tried that. [SPEAKER_08]: Thank you for putting it in terms I understand my golf auditions. [SPEAKER_06]: Let me just tell you though, extra innings in the bottom of the ninth inning, the brand new guy that the Red Sachs got from the waver wire of your Washington Nationals, gentlemen by the name of Nathaniel Low. [SPEAKER_06]: It's a two run game tying home run. [SPEAKER_06]: And Josh, how did you feel at that particular moment? [SPEAKER_09]: Well, that was so in the eighth inning, the Red Sox loaded up the bases with no outs, and we brought in this pitcher Garcia who came in and struck out the next three batters because that's the Red Sox roll with the base [SPEAKER_06]: This is, look, something, something goes ding in the Red Sox world as soon as, you know, they, they hear that somebody's coming into a load of the bases and it just, it clicks for them and why does that work? [SPEAKER_06]: There's no point in that working. [SPEAKER_06]: I should have worked as plugged it in and everything. [SPEAKER_09]: So I did, I did go on TikTok live last night around the seventh inning because I felt confident in the Orioles were doing well. [SPEAKER_09]: So I said, I'll go on here and talk some Orioles baseball. [SPEAKER_09]: So I think some people definitely enjoyed me being irritated in the ninth when within four pitches. [SPEAKER_09]: There's a man on pace, a home run hit, and the game is tied. [SPEAKER_08]: Was it a graphical, noticeable sort of curve of you getting annoyed? [SPEAKER_08]: Or was it just like turn it on? [SPEAKER_09]: Or did it build? [SPEAKER_09]: No, no. [SPEAKER_09]: It was pretty instant. [SPEAKER_09]: My brother hopped on during the seventh and eighth and we were on TikTok together talking about the Orioles and praising this picture we never heard of who did a great job in the eighth. [SPEAKER_09]: and then they brought in a different guy in the night another guy we don't know we've heard nothing about know nothing about this that's the Orioles ballpen right now is a bunch of guys we don't know and uh he blew it and then he proceeded to do what he does and load the bases again for the red socks mm-hmm so I turned to uh pissed and assuming this game was going to just end yeah and because it looks like that right I know people in my live stream [SPEAKER_09]: If I just shut this thing off and go away, it's because the Lord knows loss. [SPEAKER_09]: But there is no goodbye. [SPEAKER_09]: I am a rage quit in this thing. [SPEAKER_08]: When your brother came on to talk to you, did you mention me? [SPEAKER_08]: Because he's my friend. [SPEAKER_08]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, God. [SPEAKER_08]: That's great to hear. [SPEAKER_09]: But so then it went to, okay, and then it went to a little bit of joy every time we would get the red socks out, to then we wouldn't score any runs and no one this game's gonna fall apart. [SPEAKER_09]: And we tried, we kept that number load up the bases and they would never score. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: They had a chance in the eleventh, where there's a guy on third base. [SPEAKER_09]: And then the Red Sox hit a long fly ball to center field, standard baseball move. [SPEAKER_09]: You tag up. [SPEAKER_09]: You run home. [SPEAKER_06]: Why do you run? [SPEAKER_06]: They'd prearranged. [SPEAKER_06]: They were just there managers, excuse me. [SPEAKER_06]: These efforts, stupid, man. [SPEAKER_06]: We've prearranged. [SPEAKER_06]: that we're not going to challenge him. [SPEAKER_06]: What does that have to do with situation, you know, as far as I'm concerned, I think you got to go for it and when you don't go for it, you have to go for it and extra in it. [SPEAKER_06]: So that was it. [SPEAKER_08]: Is it common to pre-arrange something in a sporting event? [SPEAKER_06]: I'm just right now, really like ADD. [SPEAKER_06]: My son's right. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, me if I have ADD. [SPEAKER_06]: I do. [SPEAKER_06]: I am just now. [SPEAKER_06]: Check the living room. [SPEAKER_09]: The living room is going into the living room. [SPEAKER_09]: Are they going into the living room? [SPEAKER_08]: Because you have another Bluetooth thing there, right? [SPEAKER_08]: It could connect. [SPEAKER_08]: What? [SPEAKER_08]: Didn't you have a Bluetooth speaker in your living room that that sometimes connects to? [SPEAKER_08]: Like a sound bar? [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: We've had that issue in the past. [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_06]: Sounds. [SPEAKER_06]: See, he can talk about that. [SPEAKER_06]: And I can't. [SPEAKER_06]: All right. [SPEAKER_06]: Let's see if he was right. [SPEAKER_06]: All right. [SPEAKER_09]: It was quiet, but it was there. [SPEAKER_09]: It was there. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Was it through the board? [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: No, I think it was, I sounded like a three-year bike. [SPEAKER_08]: It actually sounds like you have it just someone at your doorbell. [SPEAKER_08]: That does. [SPEAKER_08]: You might want to go check your doorbell. [SPEAKER_08]: Hello. [SPEAKER_09]: It doesn't want to grab. [SPEAKER_09]: I did get multiple messages late last night. [SPEAKER_09]: Can't wait to see Mike in the Oreo hat. [SPEAKER_06]: So there it is. [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm wearing it for the whole show. [SPEAKER_06]: I have my choice. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, people were paying attention to the to the game at least for your misery. [SPEAKER_06]: That's that. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, and that's good. [SPEAKER_06]: That's that's a good thing because I think if I can bring people joy. [SPEAKER_06]: That's a fun. [SPEAKER_08]: That's a trait that seems to be more popular in the western part of the United States, perhaps in the northern part of California. [SPEAKER_08]: The day you enjoy when bad things happen to good people. [SPEAKER_08]: And they always have. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: And I think that game ended around ten, thirty last night. [SPEAKER_09]: So it wasn't super late, but the game starts at like six, thirty. [SPEAKER_09]: So it was a long game. [SPEAKER_06]: And such an ass. [SPEAKER_09]: Why are you laughing? [SPEAKER_09]: Why are you laughing? [SPEAKER_09]: You didn't plug in the cord. [SPEAKER_06]: No, I did. [SPEAKER_06]: I did plug in. [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm just trying to figure it all out. [SPEAKER_06]: You're so distracted. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm obsessed. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm obsessed.
