I guess he was on Channel 5 in New York yesterday.

He is expanding the brand.

And Walt, the new podcast is starting nine.

Yes.

Dallas Braden, right, Jared?

Dallas Braden?

You in an ex-major leaguer?

Yeah, he's out.

Well, you can call him an ex-major leaguer. I call him a current psychopath. Okay. So he is, you're enjoying the camaraderie that comes with that. Yes, yes. He's the perfect fit for barstool sports. He's the type of guy that he's definitely not afraid to tell it like it is and air out whoever he needs to air out.

All right, so when you were airing it out yesterday, I noticed on Twitter,

you had made the great mistake of walking into a trap.

That is offending the good people of Smashmouth.

Yeah, I mean, I might as well be walking on the sun when you come into an argument with Smashroth on Twitter. I didn't really know what I was getting myself into, but, you know, I'm sitting on a bus back to New York City. Next thing I know, I'm in a tweet beef with one of the most popular bands of the 90s.

Next to my Section 10 podcast producer, next thing you know, and I'm getting, you know, harassed by Smashmel. I mean, they're best known for a song that they did for the Shrek movie. It's just not how I want to spend my Sunday morning. Well, listen, it's going to gain you a ton of notoriety, and then you're going to have the smash mouth people come against you, so, you know, get in that bunker and make sure to them. I find it interesting that not one smash malt fan came to their defense.

I'm going to guess there's not a lot of them left.

I'm going to guess it's more of a free ice cream deal at a, like, chili cookoff when they're playing.

Yeah, I would imagine that all the seven-year-olds who discovered smash malt

during the Trek movie have grown on to discover real music.

Yes, indeed.

All right, so this last stretch of games by the Red Sox, does this have you now feeling better?

Does this have you believing that this is a team that can make some noise in the playoffs?

I'm still a little skeptical, to be honest, because they've been a very bipolar team this year. They've had
