Well, that Mosque shooting disappeared faster than cocaine at a Hunter Biden party.Seattle's Democratic Socialist Mayor is losing businesses like no where else. The Colombia Tower Club just closed after 40 years. Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go has closed all their stores. Jeff Bezos left, Howard Schultz founder of Starbucks left. Their capital gains tax collection is down 50%. Per Cushman Wakefield vacancies rates are 36.5 for commercial property. Pioneer square is at 50% vacancy. The Needle, Seattle's iconic structure is now a homeless encampment. Business are running from socialist ideas and sanctuary cities. At this pace tax rates will increase on those remaining. It's just a matter of time for the city to collapse. Fewer people to tax, fewer jobs, more homeless.[X] SB – Ad against TalaricoGod is non-binary6 sexesAmerican flag complicated signalStephen Colbert signs off from late night television, and the media acts like we just watched the first moon landing, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the Beatles reuniting all at once. “Historic ratings!” they cry. “A cultural moment!”Yeah? Let's talk about those numbers.Colbert's final show pulled 6.74 million viewers. And to be fair, that is a big number by today's standards. It was the highest-rated weeknight episode he ever had. Bigger than his premiere. Way above his recent average of around 2.7 million.But here's the problem. Context is undefeated.Johnny Carson's final show in 1992 pulled over 55 million viewers. Fifty-five million. That was when America still had fewer people and fewer TVs. Carson had a 62% audience share. Think about that. Six out of every ten televisions in America were tuned into one guy sitting behind a desk telling jokes.That's not a TV host. That's a national event.Jay Leno signed off with nearly 15 million viewers. David Letterman got almost 14 million. Colbert, meanwhile, needed every other late-night host to basically go dark and funnel their audience to him just to hit half of what Leno and Letterman did.And this was his BEST night, outside of his piggybacking on a Super Bowl one night.That's like a baseball player retiring with a .195 batting average and ESPN running graphics like Babe Ruth just left Yankee Stadium.What happened to late night?Simple. It stopped being funny and started becoming political group therapy.Johnny Carson made everybody laugh. Republicans, Democrats, people who didn't know who the Vice President was. Carson wasn't trying to “educate” America. He wasn't trying to save democracy between commercials for sleep medication and adult diapers. He just wanted to be funny.Colbert and these modern late-night guys? Entirely different business model.Every night became the same routine: Trump joke. Republican joke. Democracy is ending. Commercial break. Repeat until pharmaceutical side effects include “thoughts of self-harm.”At some point, late night stopped feeling like comedy and started feeling like being trapped at a dinner party with your angry NPR cousin who uses the phrase “lived experience” while borrowing money from his parents.And then you see the staff photo.Have you seen this thing? It looked less like a comedy show staff and more like a government agency. I heard estimates anywhere from 120 to nearly 200 people working on that show.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's been a very long time since Game 5 of the 2024 World Series. It was the last time that Gerrit Cole appeared in a Major League Baseball game. That all changes tonight, when the 2023 AL Cy Young Award winner makes his season debut in the Bronx for the New York Yankees and hopes to regain the form that made him the ace of the staff. On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the significance behind Gerrit Cole's return to the Yankees, including his search for redemption after his last appearance on the Yankee Stadium mound, how close he came to leaving the club and why he'll slide perfectly into the rotation. With a big series against division rival the Tampa Bay Rays starting tonight and a need to get back to winning ways, the Yankees hope their ace will get them back on track. Later, Jake and Jordan talk about the Cleveland Guardians mopping the Detroit Tigers and how their different philosophy when it comes to roster construction is paying off so far in 2026. They then discuss the Milwaukee Brewers sweeping the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field to leapfrog them in the NL Central standings, as well as J.P. Crawford being willing to make a position switch so he can stay with the Seattle Mariners. The guys then make their picks for this week's edition of The Good, The Bad & The Uggla. 1:18 - The Opener: Gerrit Cole returns 19:34 - Around The League: Guardians mop the Tigers 28:45 - Brewers overtake the Cubs 34:43 - We Need To Talk About: Crawford eyes change 42:35 - The Good 50:21 - The Bad 54:48 - The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

The conversation shifts from Knicks strategy to a wild mix of Yankees frustration and playoff anxiety, as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to a rain delayed night in the Bronx, a packed Yankee Stadium, and a tight loss to Toronto. They spotlight Cam Schlittler's strong outing, Trey Yesavage's performance, and the tiny decisions that shaped a low scoring game. Evan and Tiki also dig into Anthony Volpe's brutal challenge, the growing importance of the automated ball strike system, and why players need better situational awareness before risking a review. Then the Knicks return to the center of the show as fans debate whether to cash out bets, hedge against heartbreak, or embrace Evan's idea of emotional insurance with a potential NBA Finals run in sight.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed for a loaded Thursday edition of Cash That Ticket, coming off a perfect 2-and-0 best bet day and ready to attack one of the biggest nights on the spring sports calendar. The guys open with a full breakdown of Game 2 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, where the New York Knicks host the Cleveland Cavaliers at Madison Square Garden as six-and-a-half-point home favorites with a total of 216.5. Cleveland blew a 20-plus-point fourth-quarter lead in Game 1, shot just 40% from the field, got beaten 60-38 in the paint, and watched Donovan Mitchell disappear in overtime, and Uncle Dave makes a compelling case that the sharpest angle in this game is fading the Cavs team total rather than picking a side outright. The Knicks shot a combined 31% from three in Game 1 with every perimeter player ice cold, and positive regression to the mean makes the New York team total over an equally compelling play. Uncle Dave targets Karl-Anthony Towns PRA over 35 as his player prop, pointing to Jarrett Allen's inability to contain Towns and the near-certain shooting efficiency improvement from a 6-for-14 Game 1 outing. Munaf takes Donovan Mitchell over 27.5 points at minus-114 on DraftKings, citing Mitchell's hometown pride at MSG and his overtime disappearance as the motivational fuel for a bounceback performance. Both hosts like the Knicks side for the full game and first half. On the baseball side, Uncle Dave and Munaf work through all four evening games, hitting the Braves and Marlins total with Sandy Alcántara against Spencer Strider in Miami, the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium with Braydon Fisher as opener against a shaky Carlos Rodón, the Sacramento Athletics against José Soriano and the Angels in a high-pitch-count over environment, and Eduardo Rodríguez versus Zach Agnos in the desert with a big Arizona money line neither host wants to lay. Best bets close the show: Uncle Dave locks the Braves-Marlins over 7.5 on the strength of both teams' recent scoring history in this series and beyond, while Munaf pounds the Blue Jays team total over 3.5 at minus-120 on DraftKings against a Rodón who has walked eight batters in just eight innings this season.

Can the Dodgers turn Eric Lauer around? And how are the teams your plucky hosts selected in our WAR projection over/under draft faring here as the season has passed the one-quarter mark?This week we have a look at all these questions, and a whole lot more!** FOR AN AD-FREE VERSION OF THIS—AND EVERY—EPISODE, PLUS WEEKLY BONUS SHOWS, FIND US AT patreon.com/BJHH ** Hosted on Acast.

VJ Geronimo is a previous podcast guest on this show, and as you may know, Oris and STANDARD H have partnered in several ways throughout the years. We've co-hosted an event for Red Bar Raleigh, we've both participated in the Holiday event at Topper Jewelers, and both companies are huge fans of baseball. Though STANDARD H can't afford a billboard in Yankee Stadium, it's something that would be a bit of a dream, and thus, I get to somewhat live vicariously through VJ and his team‘s efforts.What I love about Oris is their dedicated nature of being inclusive, their ethical approach to business, and certainly their assortment offering true value.VJ and I start the conversation discussing family, and how father/daughter dynamics change over time, and then we move onto Watches & Wonders: the Oris booth and their approach to the show. Then, VJ walks us through the new releases and the history of a very special watch, the Star Edition.All of this and more with my very good friend, and someone I hold in the highest regard, VJ Geronimo.You can listen to the audio-only above or watch our conversation below!

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker welcome Newsday Yankees reporter Erik Boland (3:05) ahead of the Blue Jays' second game in the Bronx. They discuss the breaking news that Gerrit Cole will return this week, what the Jays bats can expect from Will Warren, Aaron Judge's season so far, and whether Ben Rice's hot start is sustainable. Then, Jeff and Kevin chat about where Judge stands on the list of the greatest hitters of all time before listening to John Schneider's pre-game availability. Later, the voice of the Blue Jays, Dan Shulman (27:55), stops by to discuss the vibes in New York, positive signs from George Springer despite a rough final at-bat, John Schneider's decision to go to Yariel Rodriguez, how Dylan Cease should approach the Yankees' lineup, Brandon Valenzuela's eventful Yankee Stadium debut, and why tonight's matchup is a 'must-win.' The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker recap the New York Yankees series opening win over the Blue Jays, how both teams found ways to score runs, Yariel Rodriguez's 7th inning collapse, George Springer and Vlad Jr.'s at-bats against David Bednar in the 9th, Dylan Cease vs. the Yankees, how the relievers are working to keep runners from stealing and Brandon Valenzuela's home plate tag attempt on Anthony Volpe. Then, YES Network analyst and 4x all-star pitcher with the Yankees, Dellin Betances, stops by (23:37) to share his thoughts on how top-heavy the AL East has become, his experience pitching at Yankee Stadium, how Aaron Boone has evolved as a manager, and roles out of the bullpen.  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

The Empire 161 Show – Season 7 Episode 9: Road Trip Scars and Bronx TherapyEd and Lyssa are back for Season 7 Episode 9 of The Empire 161 Show, and the Yankees are finally dragging themselves home after a long road trip that wrapped up with stops against the Orioles and Mets. Because nothing says “nice little travel schedule” like dealing with division drama and then a Subway Series headache before finally getting back to the Bronx.This week, the crew breaks down how the Yankees closed out the road trip, what worked, what looked ugly, and which moments had fans yelling at the TV like that was somehow going to fix the bullpen, the bats, or whatever fresh nonsense showed up that night.Then it's time to look ahead to a big homestand, where the Yankees get a chance to settle back in, stack some wins, and maybe remind everyone why Yankee Stadium is supposed to be a problem for the other team — not another group therapy session for fans in pinstripes.Ed and Lyssa will talk Orioles, Mets, road trip takeaways, Bronx Bombers expectations, and what the Yankees need to do as they head back home with the season starting to get louder.Catch Season 7 Episode 9 of The Empire 161 Show as the Yankees wrap up their long road trip and head into a big homestand in the Bronx.#Yankees #BronxBombers #PinstripePride #RepBX #Empire161 #PopCulturePros

MLB Network analyst and former catcher Alex Avila (2:43) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker to discuss the state of the American League after 40 games, how players break out of mid-season slumps, what Brandon Valenzuela can expect in his first game behind the plate at Yankee Stadium, and why Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has so much success in the Bronx. Jeff and Kevin listen to John Schneider's pre-game availability before welcoming in Yankees radio analyst Suzyn Waldman (31:20) to discuss the recent offensive drop-off in New York, solutions for their struggling bullpen, their ceiling in 2026, and her conversation with Bo Bichette. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Jeff and Mark return and open with BP topics including Bobby Witt Jr.'s inside-the-park homer and a minor-league inside-the-park home run created when a fielder slid on a ball and unknowingly plugged it under the turf. They discuss Cal Raleigh ending an 0-for-38 slump by showering in full uniform, then going on the IL, and debate complaints about constant in-stadium audio at Yankee Stadium, including claims Aaron Judge wants Madison Square Garden-style energy and even signals the production booth. In Tales from the Dugout, Mark explains “Eddie Sissons Syndrome” for exaggerated baseball biographies, while Jeff shares an 1883 carrier-pigeon score delivery system and the story of Clarence “Climax” Blethyn's dentures biting him during a slide. The show ends with Wax Pack Heroes from 2003 Topps, and there's a manager card!.   00:00 BP Weird Baseball Moments 15:04 Grounds Crew to Dugout Tales 16:36 Eddie Sissons Syndrome 20:43 Pigeon Scoreboard in 1883 23:30 Dentures Bite Back Story 30:34 Wax Pack Heroes 46:58 Streams and Signoff   Connect With Us YouTube: www.youtube.com/@twostrikenoise Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise BlueSky: @twostrikenoise.bsky.social Email: twostrikenoise@gmail.com   Support a Great Cause: Don't let your common cards collect dust!

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the Yankees calling up Spencer Jones after Jasson Domínguez's injury, and debate whether Brian Cashman deserves credit for handling this moment differently than he might have in the past. The conversation centers on how quickly opportunity can change in baseball, especially when a young player gets hurt while trying to prove he belongs. The guys also dig into Yankee Stadium safety after Domínguez's collision with the wall, questioning whether MLB should do more to protect players from dangerous outfield fences. Plus, they touch on Yankees momentum, Knicks playoff anxiety, possible OG Anunoby risk, and the New York sports memories that still sting years later.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into the biggest questions surrounding Knicks versus Sixers, starting with OG Anunoby's hamstring uncertainty and whether the Knicks are wisely keeping Philadelphia guessing. With Joel Embiid's status also in doubt, the conversation turns to playoff gamesmanship, injury risk, and the possibility of Knicks fans taking over Philadelphia. The guys also react to Jasson Domínguez's scary injury after a tremendous catch at Yankee Stadium, what it means for Spencer Jones getting called up, and whether Brian Cashman deserves credit for how the Yankees are handling young talent. Plus, they debate Yankee Stadium safety, Knicks fan travel plans, and painful New York sports memories tied to beloved and infamous figures.

Evan and Tiki discuss the importance of honoring John Sterling by playing his iconic recording after home victories. They also debate comparisons between the current roster and the legendary 1998 squad while reacting to the news of Ted Turner's passing. The conversation shifts to Jose Caballero's small-ball contributions and the unique fan culture surrounding Yankee Stadium chicken buckets. 01:11 - John Sterling Tradition 03:30 - Ted Turner Passes Away 04:38 - 1998 Yankees Team Comparisons 14:04 - Jose Caballero Bunt Impact 16:24 - Yankee Stadium Chicken Buckets

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into a loaded New York sports hour, from Garrett Cole's fiery rehab outing to the growing tension between New York and Philadelphia. The conversation starts with Cole drilling a Single A prospect after getting hit hard, sparking a debate about edge, embarrassment and whether old school baseball rules still apply. The hour also brings Yankee Stadium food chaos, a spirited response to Philly criticism of Tiki's Joel Embiid comments, James Dolan joking about a Knicks championship run, Aaron Rodgers rumors affecting the NFL schedule, and a Cinco list of New York's most underrated players. Clay Holmes, Josh Hart, Jazz Chisholm and other names all get their moment as the guys sort through what matters most across the local sports scene.

The Yankees keep winning, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are trying to figure out just how far the praise should go. After another comeback win, this time against Jacob deGrom, the conversation turns to whether this team's depth, bullpen, rotation and relentless lineup are starting to resemble the legendary 1998 Yankees. Evan pushes back hard on the comparison while Tiki and others argue the signs are there, even if no one is predicting 114 wins. The guys also debate Tampa Bay refusing to go away, the flaws in the MLB playoff format, why Yankee Stadium should make John Sterling's famous “Yankees win” call a permanent postgame tradition, and how Tiki may have officially become Philadelphia's newest villain.

Garrett Cole's rehab outing turns into a bigger baseball debate after he drills a Single A prospect who had already squared him up twice. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into whether it was a weak look, a necessary edge reset, or just part of the game when a top pitcher is trying to regain his competitive fire. The conversation then shifts to Yankee Stadium's viral chicken finger ice cream, the long lines frustrating fans who just want classic ballpark soft serve, and a fiery Philadelphia response to Tiki's criticism of Joel Embiid. The result is a lively mix of Yankees, old school baseball rules, stadium food complaints and New York versus Philly tension.

Boomer and Gio debate if LeBron James is officially retiring after eight seasons with the Lakers, followed by Jerry's update on the Knicks-Sixers series and Tiki Barber's blunt advice for Joel Embiid. We recap the NBA highlights with JJ Redick before hitting the diamond, where the Yankees beat the Rangers behind Ryan McMahon's clutch homer off Jacob deGrom and the Phillies find success under new manager Don Mattingly. To close, we check out Peter Schwartz living it up in some bougie Legend Seats at Yankee Stadium.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber discuss reports from Al Cintron claiming the New York Mets were in talks with Dusty Baker to be their manager. They break down the validity of these rumors and weigh the pros and cons of hiring the veteran skipper. The conversation also explores legendary calls from John Sterling and Evan's plans for a jersey-clad visit to Yankee Stadium. 02:00 - Celebrity Sightings and Lindor 05:00 - Al Cintron's Dusty Baker Report 09:45 - Reporter Denies Baker Rumors 13:21 - John Sterling's Broadcasting Legacy 18:48 - Knicks Arena and Jersey Etiquette 22:53 - Evan's Yankee Stadium Plans 27:10 - Parenting and Ballpark Food Hacks 32:33 - Terry Collins Managerial Proposal 37:52 - Final Thoughts on Stadium Ice Cream

Former mayor Rudy Giuliani was in a coma, a fact that wasn't revealed until after his admission to the hospital for pneumonia on Sunday. Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay paid tribute to the late, great John Sterling while calling last night's game. Fans at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx honored Sterling with a huge tribute. A UAE cutter may join the fight against Iran, depending on what happens with ships, drones, or missiles at the Strait of Hormuz. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says having the Strait blocked benefits the USA, but it's crippling Iran's economy to the point where they can't pay their soldiers. Mark recaps last night's Met Gala, noting how the event has changed over the years. Mark interviews NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin. Mark and Michael discuss how the US relationship with the British has shifted since King Charles visited Manhattan last week, and how this decline may reflect a broader trend across Europe. They also talk about rising American anxiety over the war in Iran and whether time is running out for regime change. The City of New York is struggling to pass the state budget, partly due to Mayor Mamdani's promise to provide more free services to residents. The Tony Awards nominations are out, and Pink is set to host the show on CBS. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was pressed about possible insider trading but dodged the question. Former mayor Eric Adams used to call Michael Bloomberg for advice when making big decisions for New York City; maybe more mayors should try that, such as Mamdani. Stephen Colbert's run as CBS's late-night host is wrapping up soon, so what's next for the Ed Sullivan Theater in NYC? Mark has a few ideas. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O'Reilly. They discuss Barack Obama's aim to be a kingmaker for Democrats in 2028, believing the party is in decline. Bill and Mark touch on how mistakes by Michelle and Barack Obama have led to different outcomes for each. They also talk about how tough it is for a President to think clearly with constant pressure, especially Trump, and how this plays out with the current Iran war. Bill notes that networks such as NewsDay and more are censoring stories, leaving viewers confused, like in the recent Long Island Wendy's stabbing case that sparked major attention.
