Summary

An on-air sports argument takes a surreal turn when Hall of Fame slugger Manny Ramirez jumps into the comments and publicly picks a side. From there, the conversation explodes into a heated debate over Team USA, Olympic loyalty, and whether fans truly put country over their favorite teams. Is rooting against players you hate unpatriotic, or just honest fandom? Callers flood in with strong opinions, wild hypotheticals, and personal confessions about where their allegiances really lie when national pride clashes with team loyalty. Then, just when you think things cannot get any stranger, the show veers into one of the most bizarre dream stories ever shared on sports radio, featuring unexpected celebrities, awkward encounters, and pure late-night chaos. Manny’s surprise cameo, international sports controversy, fan fury, and unforgettable radio moments all in one segment.

Not only did he have to take an embarrassing loss about sports to Evan on the air, but then from the top rope to comment on the debate and agree with me was Manny Ramirez.

0:11.7

Damn.

On the Instagram.

So first, Sean, how'd you feel about not only me whipping that ass in a nice little sports argument, but then having maybe the greatest right-hand titter of our generation, and a guy who used to beat the crap out of your team, Mani Ramirez, coming in off the top rope saying, I'm team Evan. I thought that was really cool. Just the image of Mani Ramirez doing what we always do when we watch Instagram sitting on the toilet and watching me and having an argue was certainly struck with me. And I would just tell Mani this. You thought his defense was so good. Why'd you leave for Boston? Come on. That's where you're going with this? Sounds like a lot of Jeter hate to me from Mani. He left for Boston. And this is very complicated. So I'll try to explain it to you because they paid him a lot of money. I understand. Okay? But I'm not taking money if I'm playing with this great choice. I just heard the GM of the Cleveland Guardians, same organization, actually Mark Turnoff's son, Mike Chernoff, say, we can't pay in the top end of free agency. We can't do it. That was his comment yesterday. So you invoking that, come on, what are we doing?

1:12.7

Why do you leave?

1:13.6

He didn't leave because the city sucked. He didn't leave because of Omar Viscata. He left because the Red Sox offered him a ton more money. I'll get Maddie Ramirez this. He went in for more. He did the flame emojis and then went for a second comment. So he was really into the argument.

1:25.7

Yeah, he was.

1:27.1

But that wasn't the only...

1:28.8

Did you feel defeated?

1:30.3

No.

1:30.9

What are you kidding me? went for a second comment. So he was really into the argument. Yeah, he was. But that wasn't the

1:28.1

only, did you feel defeated? No, what are you kidding me? Any time I'm in Mani Ramirez's head,

1:33.9

that's a win. He takes it as a win, Pop. Well, I was driving in this morning, and I listened to this

1:38.6

conversation between Greg Giannati and Celo involving Sean and how much he hates America or doesn't really hate America.

1:46.8

Take a listen.

1:47.8

Sealoh, you're a guy who has been friends with Sean Morash for a very long time.

1:51.5

He's part of your group chat.

1:53.6

Yeah, part of the group chat.

1:55.1

When you see him go back to the greatest hits of rooting for Rangers that play for other countries in the Olympics

2:03.1

to piss off the USA hockey fans. What is your reaction? Because I mean, that's really what he's

doing. That's his born to run. You know, born to run to Bruce Springsteen is the Marash. I'm going

to root for the Rangers on other countries as opposed to Team USA. The problem is when you can see behind the curtain and you know the tricks, it doesn't
