No matter where you work from these days, take Jones and Keith with you on the Odyssey app favorite WWE. Alright from the catch is law injury attorney studios. No fee unless you win It is Jones and Keith here on a Patriots Friday. Mego is in for Jones and grab bag is brought to you by a wake in 180 weight loss The Boston Red Sox are back in the action again today mego taking on your Baltimore Orioles. Okay 705 first pitch. I mean 605 pregame right here on w e i Ranger Suarez on the mound versus Shane Baz But we had a few callers to point out and I agree with them Kind of the big start for Ranger Suarez. Just like you want to see something positive here I know he's got really good playoff See some innings right he has not gone deep into games He's gotten hit around a little bit is ERA is close to six for the month of August So can you put that behind him and give him a good performance here tonight? I hope so something like a quality start. I think would go far for them especially if to the theory that you had that I like earlier that
Adley Rutchman going against these pictures. Yeah, there's not much more that he could know about them Yeah, so if you're getting some nice offense from him Roman Anthony keeps doing what he's been doing Maybe you got a little more Mickey gasper magic out there. That'd be good. They should be able to win the series Well speaking of my sports book or island pick of the week Red Sox win Roman Anthony run Mickey gasper hit Adley Rutchman RBI Which really all happened in the first inning except for when they got to play nine for that Plus 470 there you go people are pretty fired up about that one I would say the people people are fired up all you know a lot of feedback on that mostly positive feedback I would say getting a lot of feedback on my idea that the United States gave the Eiffel Tower to Paris With for example you gave phrase it that way what you can't know it was a get I'm talking about the statue She didn't say another country in there so it's fine That's true and then we had a whole Debate about the statue of liberty and how many there are and if they're the same size and all that if there's one There's a very little ocean there's a petite one in Paris. I'd like to see that a petite lady statue later
The Eiffel Tower. Yeah, oh it is which is crazy. Yeah, it's like in the same But all these pictures of the Eiffel Tower whether Wilson I never see I have been there and I don't remember looking at it Wow, late breaker Have you never been a Paris me? Yeah, you never been a Paris I mean, I've been there was like a Paris. What do you mean? You said you can't just go to Paris? Yeah, it's not a crazy destination kind of over 30 to a bit Fresh Paris once We okay around she don't oh look at that. Oh, we can ask Brian if there's a statue of liberty next to the other Really we're Brian is he in Paris? He's like I'm taking a weekend trip to Paris see that seems Total Wellesley bro over there. That's what we thought too. Is that what it is he is is a Wellesley bro? He's a Wellesley bro. I can't believe you think it's crazy to have been to France. Billy ever to France I know okay, okay, I'm not like some tremendous knob. I haven't been that many places. I didn't say you're tremendous knob
I don't listen. I never said you were a tremendous knob. I did think it's it's weirder to think that people like would have gone to France Well, when I had never okay, so I had never been oh, same thing. I've never been to Quebec Stop it's huge knob. That's because you didn't get invited Yeah, well when I went to Paris it was like the first time that I had left the country outside of going to Mexico or Canada I'd never left North America. Yeah, but you left the country three times or twice before that Canada counts Well, I'm not using country first. I said I hardly ever left the country. How many continents have you been to? Oh great question. I think I've been to three Seven No, I have a seven. That's crazy Yeah, go into Antarctica. It's crazy. That'd be cool. It's awesome. I'd go Antarctica. I'll definitely go to Antarctica Where does it yeah, where does the thing take place? I think Antarctica. I love I love the thing. Things awesome I the thing is one of my favorite like snowstorm movies great one. However
Nobody told me people were like watch the thing watch the thing because I wanted to watch a movie hadn't seen before last Halloween No one told me it's a dog movie Yeah, and I have a Siberian husky. Yeah, looks very similar. So that was really close to home. It's tough We're like kind of like watching you looking at our sideways like we had our dog the thing for the next six months. We're like look at our Oh, no, she's watching us. Anyway, this is a long detour. I'm sorry. No, that's fine I love the grab back. I found I love one sent almost completely She's in love with the grab back But sometimes these feelings can be so misleading She turns and says it's shown's all right. I said he must be fine because keep us still breathing So I'm kissing by the river said yeah grab back says it's fine. He don't consider it cheating now You're kissing the grab back. He's told Peyton told you we were married. So who knows All right, they all bets are off at this point College football You see this one from yesterday you mass. Yes, you mass with a w tremendous unreal
They were massive underdogs in the game and then they yeah, they came out and defeated Rucker So tough day for the McCordys 3721 your final Where weren't they just ranked by the athletic as like the one hundred thirty second? Oh you college program They most thought they were the worst team in deep. I think it was out of like 180 or something. Yeah, I don't know They were very very low. They for sure were really kind of surprised they weren't lower, but good for them got a big W pretty good This weekend, let's see what games jump out. I got Miami Stanford. I guess my image ranked seventh USC 14th versus Fresno Hmm, oh, but he's late. I would say I would agree. That's a wait till next week Son, we live in a world that has bags and those bags have to be grabbed by men with hands Who's gonna do it? Jones you lieutenant rich keef I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom You don't want the truth because deep down and places you don't talk about at parties
You want me grabbing bag you need me grabbing bag Adam chef or tweeted out earlier today One year after bill bell check that denied entry in his first year of eligibility the pro football hall of fame has overhauled its selection process ahead of the 2027 election And now sort of like a standalone It was no link or anything. It just the overall did it say what it was no But it sounds like it's no details. No It sounds like they're gonna reduce the number of selectors And the elimination of the separate seniors category in the voting process. So Drop got it said what they're going from 50 down to 28 50 to 20 is what I saw I mean, he'll get in this year. There were such a there were such a outcry last year. How's it? What was it you and see well? Pro football hall fan Yeah, well has nothing to do with it really no well no What do you like illegal stuff? I mean allegedly What do you mean? You think he's gonna go to prison? No, he's gonna lose his job
Who knows maybe it's tough. It's about once what would stop him doing it again Yeah, they did keep mouthwants. That's true, but I think he gets in but you're right. And maybe next time something Maybe we're gonna follow the story a little bit further. It's getting kind of worse by the day So maybe there'll be some more stuff coming out Grab bag Grab bag. Oh, I apologize. I played that one last time you were here And I think it reminded you of your where you live So sorry Keith so sorry about that. Oh my god. I didn't mean to it. I really didn't mean to I'm just I didn't use a random that's terrible. I live in a wonderful neighborhood and I love it. Okay Yeah
Grab bag you All right, we have an update on the Jones and Keith fantasy football B league so A lot of people want to be in the Jones and Keith a league We've decided this year that the punishment is gonna be relegation So the worst team and the league is gonna be kicked out And the winner of this league is gonna be promoted up. So during one of the breaks I did a draft lottery. So this is twitch Mitch. This is Zach Josh dice College Tom they're all in this league as well as I think seven other listeners. There's 12 total people I have gotten a few messages inviting me to this league. I appreciate it very much. I actually I don't sports gamble Okay, so you declined so I declined you declined Jackson thought it was beneath him because he just wanted to be right into the A league As we told him he could be in the B league. He's like well. I don't mean that. I'm like well then you'll never be lady I guess and you'll never be in the league meanwhile twitch Mitch is offering $500 to anybody that can beat him He's like losing his mind about it. He's all fired up. So anyway, did the draft lottery we tweeted that out? So those guys could see that Um, this is something that we have to discuss in your mind. I know you don't play fantasy football
But in your mind what would be the worst team would it be the team with the worst record or the fewest points? Oh Me and Jones are split on this. I'm gonna say fewest points. That's what I say. I think that's the true worst team in my mind Because you might just have buzzards luck in lose. It's not real football. It's fantasy football So if you lose every week 120 to 100 and then another team's out there and they they win a couple games like 60 to 50 Like who's really the better? Okay, so you and I agree I'm with you. Okay. All right Oh Our new daily question here in the grab bag has Christian Gonzalez signed his contract extension yet no Nope, no, not seen anything Putting the x rated into x these guys are stupid has Bob Ryan tweeted all right another important question has the great Bob Ryan tweeted
Yes, he has Panna doll tweeted out what's this huh? Well, he finds these somehow. Okay, Panna doll wrote only sharp eyes will get it right What's wrong in this picture? So it is an AI generated picture? What's in the picture? It's a man reading the newspaper with a bowl scrambled eggs and orange juice a cereal and a coffee on his table Behind him is a clock and a calendar and in the outside window there is a snowman Now the calendar does say July oh Yeah, that's not the biggest the front though. It's gonna know letting that cereal get soggy That's really one thing wrong or is this Multiple answers because is it like oh it looks like it's daylight outside but the clock says something else yeah Good one. So it says 815 but I could be 815 in the morning because of this sunlight out Bob wrote snowman in July question mark maybe hoping for a response. He is sharp I was an Antarctica. I would also say there's no utensils So it's a bowl of cereal no spoon and there's a big play to eggs no fork
We can just slide those eggs right down You can open your mouth up wide use your hands. Yeah back to the newspaper back to the eggs back to the newspaper You could do that rip off some of the newspapers pick up some of those eggs Uh hawk on Twitter also said agree or disagree the NBA is better than the 1990s than it is today Uh, I think most people would agree with that It's different. I mean the 90s also had like an NBA finals game that was like 70 to 50 right It's just whenever I talk to people because I adore love Stand by the NBA through everything. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Whenever I talk to people about why they don't like me Like well, I liked it in the 90s, you know, I think that's when it was a lot more physical Like yeah, I mean that's more nostalgia because I also like growing up like love basketball in the 90s But it's a lot of like like when the nicks played the heat like people love that They're just like tackling each other and they're not scoring any points Bob said go back a decade the 80s were totally enjoyable On three point mania had not taken root people ran with intelligence then something happened the 90s were a slog I agree the 90s kind of were a slog. I still like prop up Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time
But the 90s were a slug uh bob then did multiple eye tests Uh, we're he was trying to find the magic number. Uh, let's see Celtics performances tweeted who is your favorite Celtics role player of all time? Ooh, he's gonna have a good answer for this Bob said nobody like hambone He said and then finally fast break hoops tweeted out a meme that said true or false Penny hardaway could have become a top five point guard ever Okay, well true false. That's not like a true or false. That's just like an opinion right Isn't there's no well true or false he could have That's not like something that you can base in the book of facts Bob said true. Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, he says it. I agree with that Grab bags
All right, let's find out who the best baseball performer was from yesterday mega was it Carter Jensen Three for four or the home run three rbi's three runs scored was it Adley Rutchman two for four two home runs three runs scored Was it Julio Rodriguez one for four two rbi a run and three steals Was it Kevin Gowsman seven innings one earned nine thank you nine K's or Cal Quantrell seven scoreless seven with five K's Oh, you know what I'm gonna give it to Adley. Okay, because that's what we need to see more of from him and sure He's very comfortable down in Camden We need to see some part of this version of Adley going forward seeking it offense for the pussies and It's time for Jones and Keves random Brandon Phillips Baseball player of the day All right, Jones out today. So drop got has the player. What do we got all right? Well, we have a former relief picture
Through from the right side and when asked what hit from the right side Oh was asked because he had one hit in his career good for him broken in 05 with the pirates hung it up with the twins in 2012 one time all star mark mylanson. No, no, Joel Handryhan. Oh He had 42 saves in 2010 which was his all star year or he actually split times between two teams He was a national and a twin. I think he was a national for the all star. Shagcordero. Nope This guy when he threw would hop off the mound that is a different Hop off the mound. Yep. John Roush. No, if he would push off the mound do little hops. So he's closer to the plate Is that allowed? I could see the gift of this guy doing it, but I can't hop off the mound Tyler Clippard. Nope Come on. I don't see his agents were rep one baseball. All right. That's great. Obviously of arm tell him I'm trying to look at the twitch chat For a I'm scared to save. Oh, yeah, they're trying to they're trying to trap it isn't there though So wait, he was a one-time all star who's in all star with the nationals and then he would later get traded to the twins
It looks like the nationals all star man He said his law of saves, but he finished all lot of games. He was a closer. Okay, I think a set-up guy Ah, man, that's frustrating. Let me take a look at the twitch chat. It's hopped out at 64 strikeouts at 07 Get rid of the chat There's a lot of maps. Hey got it Would not have gotten that We're going through the ball. He would like push off the mound and jump out of the foot man. I forget that guy. All right good one Nick. Very good
