Summary

he guys tackle the bizarre idea of fans showing up to Yankee Stadium specifically to cheer Pete Alonso as a visiting player, questioning whether that’s harmless fandom or just plain weird. Then the conversation pivots to Olympic hockey controversy, as callers debate whether three-on-three overtime is a fair way to decide a gold medal. Is it thrilling entertainment or a gimmick that cheapens a championship? Evan defends his long-standing stance that major titles should be decided under traditional rules, while others argue excitement matters more. They close with a deep dive into Jazz Chisholm’s massive contract ambitions, breaking down whether his production, age, and the thin future free-agent market could actually justify the kind of deal he wants, and what kind of season it would take to make that payday a reality.

So yeah, no tush push ban on the table this year.

This fan focus was sponsored by Town Fair Tire.

Nobody beats Town Fair Tire, nobody.

0:07.5

Be honest with me, do I sound like I'm very far away from the microphone right now? Yes, you do. Oh, I do. Okay, crap. I'll jack you up a little bit. That's all right. I mean, a little bit of back pain. I've had back issues for a few months,

0:19.2

but I re-agravated it this morning,

0:20.8

Tiki as I was putting my pants on.

0:22.7

What?

0:23.5

Yeah, it was... Dude, I don't know. I was putting it on. I felt something, and I screamed at the top of my lungs. It was that painful. Yeah. So now you're sitting on the floor? I am currently sitting on the floor. I've been laying on the floor during commercial breaks doing a lot of stretching. It's outstanding.

0:58.1

What's outstanding? Just the visual of you sitting on the floor. Oh, can you see that right now? I can. Oh, you can. Oh, I don't know the camera was doing it. Yeah, I'm sitting what the kids like to call now crisscross applesauce. Yes. That is a new term. Is that helpful? Right now it does. Because it stretches a little bit.

1:27.8

Yeah. kids like to call now crisscross applesauce yes that is a new term is that unbelievable uh right now it does just because it stretches a little bit yeah yeah yeah it changes the positioning a little bit uh real quick before we get back to your calls the the jazz what you just do I can't ohm sings your forehead from here this doesn't make any sense no shouldn't be. I'm getting up for a second. I also don't understand because I witnessed Evan actually having good night's sleep that somehow he got worse injured after that. Yeah. But the problem is sometimes hotel beds are too soft and it makes your back worse. Believe it or not, the hotel bed was fine. I woke up feeling good. Like, he read the room very correctly, Sean.

1:29.8

It's that when he left, he actually got a workout in.

1:30.5

Good job by Sean.

1:31.0

Yes, right.

1:31.9

So I was by myself.

1:32.6

I took a shout.

1:41.5

It was all good. I'm telling you, it was when I was putting my pants on. It was like a reaggravation. It was just freaking terrible. Anyhow, I stood up for a very important reason.

1:43.5

A couple of quick thoughts on Jazz Chisholm.

1:44.8

So we mentioned on Friday that his goal is to go 50-50 this season, which I think is a fine goal to have as long as you're responsible about it. Yeah, he says that because he's in a contract year. Of course. He does, and he added to that, and I thought this was the part that set off some Yankee fans. His goal is to get like an

eight or nine year at about $35 million a year. And the retort that I know you had, Sean,

2:09.5

was, what is she crazy? Well, you got to ask for what you got to ask for, but you're crazy.

2:14.3

So you don't have any resentment towards him saying that. No, you should go and try to make as much money as possible and want to have that goal, but at the same time, what are we crazy? Isn't that crazy, Tick? Well, it's just long. And I forget how old jazz is, 29, 20, 30, whatever, whatever he is. It just feels like a really long contract for a guy who's not a homegrown
