The Jones & Keefe Show from Wednesday, August 12, 2026.

Jones and MegO got into the Red Sox, last night's loss in Toronto, and their level of concern after the Sox dropped their fourth straight game. Is Roman Anthony close to returning?  Adam and Meghan answered a round of "Would You Rather" questions and discussed more about the Celtics 2026-2027 schedule.

Jones and MegO talked about the state of the Red Sox after they dropped their fourth straight game and the latest on Roman Anthony's return. Before the Clip Du Jour, the guys picked through the Grab Bag.

Willson Contreras is just 4-for-24 in August, he's been blowing off the media, and now he could be dealing with a hamstring injury. It's fair to be a LITTLE concerned about the Red Sox first baseman.

Jones and Mego talk about who is most to blame for the Red Sox current four game losing streak.

Cora talks about departing the Sox

Joe starts the show going over some possible signs of recent improvement for the Yankees offense (1:05). Then, he talks about why he's so down on the New York Jets this year (16:50). Finally Nick Paradies of The Bad Ideas joins the show to discuss the Red Sox hot streak (30:18), & SO much more!

The Boston Red Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays played one of the stupidest plays ever; are the Chicago White Sox players a bunch of nerds?; Boston's latest winning streak catapults them into contention; the playoff race in the AL Central tightens; the New York Yankees mortgage away their future to private equity.

The fellas are back with a Wednesday edition of The Nielson Show, streaming live on Edmonton Sports Talk! How about those Toronto Blue Jays?!   They got the job done once again with another big victory over the red-hot Boston Red Sox, Lt. Eric and the boys are breaking down all the action from last night's win… and that's exactly what we did for Morning Announcements for The Rundle Park Short Course.   In the middle of hour one, we got into Offseason, What Offseason for GCL Diesel! Today, LTE asked the boys who the Oilers should potentially give some PTO's heading into the season… this conversation slightly went off the rails.   We finished off hour one with MMMMMM That's Good for the Italian Centre Shop. We continued the ESTY conversation today and got right into today's category. Which is, what is the best bet of the year?

A bizarre Blue Jays-Red Sox play exposes one of baseball's strangest rules after Toronto's scoreboard showed the wrong number of outs. Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber break down how a runner who left early was still allowed to score, why the Blue Jays lost their chance to appeal, and why MLB should simply fix a rule that created 16 minutes of unnecessary chaos.

(0:00) The final hour of the show opens with the callers weighing in on the Red Sox and the Patriots. (11:55) The guys discuss the umpire's call on the “fourth-out” play and question whether he sounded confident in his decision.(21:44) Email of the Day and The Final Word!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

(0:00) The second hour begins with analyzing the apparent “fourth-out” play during last night's Red Sox game against the Blue Jays.(12:26) What's causing the Red Sox to lose momentum?(21:23) The callers chime in on the “fourth-out” play from last night's Red Sox game against the Blue Jays.(30:56) Why didn't the Red Sox play small ball in the 9th inning to tie the game?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

(00:00) Hardy referred to his wife as "mommy".... hilarity ensues.(00:09:24.81) Providence Journal Writer for the Red Sox Bill Koch joins Toucher and Hardy to talk about the Red Sox, the weird rule from last night's game that gave them a run, are the Red Sox regressing, Adley Rutshman and what he's going to bring to the team, who is the shortstop in a month, would you be concerned about the team during the playoffs and what would you be concerned about the most, how do you handle the young pitching, how good is this team, who's the best team in the AL, Jarren Duran's status, Duran's old trade value vs now, and could he have gotten to the fly ball on Sunday. (00:23:04.34) The guys talk about how Ryan Beaton would help people move into college dorms when he was in school, and they play clips from earlier today with some edited clips of James Stew to see what's worse, Mom or Mommy. Also, the guys take a call about a past guest. They also look at a couple movies and their box offices from the 1980's. Please note: Timecodes may shift by a few minutes due to inserted ads.

(00:00) The guys talk about how the Raiders give their season tickets out in this Raiders poker chip box and how they have real printed tickets, if having real things like that can help people buy tickets, how Gillette doesn't print tickets out at all, how much would it cost to print out tickets, Fred had Bruins season tickets, other Raiders season ticket boxes, getting season tickets, and Michigan State football. (00:18:20.12)(00:33:25.50) WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT: The Red Sox went to Toronto to face the Blue Jays where Toronto won 2-1 even with a weird rule that gave the Red Sox one run, and they have now lost 3 straight games. They talk about the confusing play where the Red Sox scored, where a 15 minute delay happened where the umpires had to figure out what was going on. Adley Rutschman is starting tonight. Also, they talk about a man named Reggie Bannister, who passed away and Adam 12 put out a memorial post for him. Also, a caller calls Jon old.

What makes a brand worth betting on? Ken Sadowsky, affectionately known as "The Beverage Whisperer," returns to Taste Radio with a sharp look at where the biggest opportunities — and potential pitfalls — are emerging across the beverage category.  A senior advisor at Verlinvest, board director at Vita Coco and Icelandic Glacial, and early-stage investor in several emerging beverage brands, Ken explains why coconut water still has plenty of runway, what founders can learn from playing the long game, and why he believes colostrum could represent the next big functional beverage opportunity. Ken also shares his perspective on the rise of caffeine-free energy, hydration, matcha, protein and functional beverages. He also offers candid takes on celebrity-backed brands, flavor versus function, packaging, category positioning and the question he asks when evaluating any new beverage. Show notes: 0:20: Ken Sadowsky, Sr. Advisor, Verlinvest – Ken kicks things off by praising his beloved Red Sox before sharing his perspective on why coconut water has quietly become one of beverage's fastest-growing categories. He explains how strategic decisions by major beverage companies can temporarily shape retailer perceptions of an entire category, and why occasion- and benefit-based shopping may increasingly blur traditional category lines, particularly in smaller-format stores. Ken also discusses several emerging brands in his investment portfolio, including Rite, a caffeine-free energy drink powered by ketones and paraxanthine, and Leisure Hydration, which he sees as a function-first product with a more relaxed approach to hydration. He and Ray also evaluate products from Stillers, Yass, Gimber, Fizzin Protein and Grind. At the heart of Ken's philosophy is a simple question: Why will a consumer buy the product again? While functional benefits can drive trial, he argues that taste remains critical to repeat purchase in most categories. For founders, he emphasizes the importance of spending time in stores, studying the competitive set and allowing consumers to determine where a product belongs rather than relying too heavily on conventional category definitions. Ken also weighs in on celebrity-backed brands, arguing that celebrity involvement can drive discovery but is far more powerful when the celebrity genuinely invests in and believes in the business. He reflects on the extraordinary velocity of beverages compared with other CPG categories and explains why he often asks if a brand has the potential to sell a billion cans.

Yahoo! Sports NFL Frank Schwab Sports Roulette Final thoughts

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open Tuesday's show on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a quick recap of Essler's round at TPC Sawgrass, where he parred the famous island green 17th hole, before turning to a Monday betting recap in which the Brewers moneyline fell short again but an over in the Astros game cashed thanks to a three run 10th inning. From there the hosts work through a full Tuesday MLB card. At 3:26 they break down Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates visiting Eury Perez and the Miami Marlins, questioning whether Skenes at minus 112 is a gift or a trap given his rough road numbers, and landing on Miami in the first five innings with the under. At 7:14 the focus shifts to Tanner Bibee and the Cleveland Guardians against Drew Anderson and the Detroit Tigers, with rain in the forecast and both hosts wary of laying a price behind Anderson in what could turn into a bullpen day for Detroit. At 11:25 the hosts return to a familiar theme, fading Bryan Woo's brutal road splits as the Seattle Mariners visit Ryan Weathers and the New York Yankees, backing New York in the first five innings. At 14:53 they weigh Dylan Cease's heavy recent workload, including a one hit shutout of Boston, as the Red Sox visit Toronto, with Essler leaning the over and Manji preferring Toronto in the first five given his lack of trust in the Blue Jays offense. At 19:05 the Mets visit the Braves, with Nolan McLean and Martin Perez both trending toward an over, backed by New York's recent history of hammering Perez. At 22:49 the card closes with the Brewers visiting the Padres, where sharp money has pushed the line toward San Diego despite the majority of tickets sitting on Kyle Harrison, leading both hosts to the Padres and the under. The hosts also run through a batch of additional games, including a look at Hunter Brown starting in San Francisco and a Los Angeles Dodgers team total play against Kansas City's Michael Wacha, tying into the ripple effects of the Tarik Skubal trade. At 29:30 the show shifts into its recurring NFL win total series with a full breakdown of the San Francisco 49ers, who sit near nine and a half wins for the coming season. Manji lays out the offseason additions of Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, the return of Deebo Samuel, and last year's plus 66 point differential in a loaded NFC West, while Essler zeroes in on a difficult closing schedule that includes the league's first regular season game in Australia against a Los Angeles Rams team now featuring Myles Garrett after his blockbuster trade away from Cleveland. The two hosts land on opposite sides of the total, with Essler leaning under and Manji taking the over and projecting a ten win season if the roster stays healthy.
