This is the Michael K show podcast. Listen live weekday afternoon starting at 255 on 98.7 ESPN in New York, the ESPN app, the two-minute app or on your smart speaker.

Hey Alexa, play 98.7 ESPN.

This is the tie-buttler show.

I feel I have to today empathize with the Nick Fanbase because it feels like to me they want something that the organization just can't seem to provide.

And it's the ideal way to build a team, right? You build through the draft. It is increasingly difficult to do that when the organization keeps missing a lottery pick.

How badly have they screwed this up? Because yes, you can be optimistic and you don't look at what they've done making the playoffs in two of the last three seasons and feel good about the direction of the fanbase.

But as far as the health of the organization going forward and ultimately reaching that goal, I mean you keep missing on these lottery picks, it is going to set you back.

This is the tie-buttler show on 98.7 ESPN.

The tie-buttler in for the K show, Michael Dyn and Peter, Michael and Peter will be back tomorrow from three to seven right here on 98.7 ESPN.

Michael is at the stadium right now calling what I hope to be a Yankee when they're up seven to three entering the top of the eighth inning.

It would be a nice way to start this four-game series. The Oreos have actually been pretty pretty good this year, struggled of late.

But on the season, higher in the standings than the Yankees, they are, I believe the first wild card.

And if the Yankees can somehow find a way to take the first two at worst, you get out of here with a split and you feel good about things going forward.

You're just talking about the hot dog eating contest. And I posed a question, if you could have a food item of your choice involved in an eating contest, what would it be?

I threw out shrimp, Harvey's disgusting, he said cheesecake, Jolio went with pie, you said pie or cake, what did you say?

I would do either ice cream or I would do, I would do tacos.

What do you learn during the break about ice cream? You gave me a nugget here.

So Mickey Sudo, the women's champion, I believe she won today as well for the hot dog eating contest, owns the world ice cream eating record of 16 pints of ice cream in six minutes.

That's, I mean, you might as well do that while sitting on the toilet. Your stomach is imploding immediately.

Also, you're fit like frostbite. Could that happen as you shove 16 pints of frozen contents to your face?

Listen, not all dare. I wouldn't call myself lactose intolerant because there is some, some that I find agrees with my stomach, but I can't go 16 and a half pints of ice cream.

That's a bridge too far. Our guy Steve from the company, shout out to the company, they showed a lot of love at the beach bash.
