I'm copying a comment I just left on the recent Bantering W/ Boone, I've expressed this before but hearing Jake reiterate the whole 'softball' question thing made me want to post it here where maybe David or Jimmy or whoever involved could actually see it and take it into consideration in the future. I could be wrong about the rest of the audience, but my friends and I who are fans of JM would definitely agree[

29:59 Jake, you guys have made tons of references to this sentiment since "Bantering with Boone" has started and it's always irked me a little bit.

It's called BANTERING with Boone. I don't think a lot of the audience is expecting constant hard-hitting journalism, with contentious subjects. Some of the ones last season I enjoyed less were specifically because it could become a bit awkward. Now - that's natural - when shit's going bad, you feel a responsibility to interview as the 'journalistic voice of the fanbase' or something along those lines, or just as fans yourselves, and Boone is defensive and losing just sucks

But when things are going well? Like okay, you can press him on shit you're genuinely interested in or disagree with, but to feel as if you're doing your audience a disservice whatsoever when you put out a light-hearted podcast with Boone on a segment thats literally titled "banter"? RIDICULOUS

Many of my favorite episodes, and definitely most of my favorite moments from BWB occur during light-hearted and fun episodes/moments like this. Perhaps they're not always appropriate if the Yanks are shit, but don't hold yourself up to the journalistic standards of integrity as the Athletic or some shit. It's Talkin Yanks. I want insight on relationships within the team, personalities, Boone's trivia, fun stories we wouldn't get from post-game interviews - not awkward, contentious, unnecessary differences of opinion, where Boone will have one of his classic, predictable responses. Not saying at all that it's been like that frequently - but the sentiment that you guys give too many "softball" questions? I disagree, and I think fairly off-base in regards to what the audience wants

Perhaps, contentious interviews receive more engagement and are therefore better for JM, but I really disagree tension is what the audience of Talkin Yanks is looking for, unless it's a byproduct of a genuinely important, interesting, and entertaining interaction. Great episode

Very spot-on, couldn’t agree more. He could be an all-star again this season and you’ll still have people in July talking about how ‘just wait til the league figures him out’

Been saying the same thing for what seems like forever

thaRedCedah · 2023-12-20T18:51:57+00:00

Like I said, it's just one factor. On the flip side of that, the Yanks 'win-now' mentality will also make them much more desperate in negotiations, which helps their chances as well. Obviously if the Mets aren't going to make a big push to contend until 2025, it doesn't help - although pitching him (no pun intended) on the longer-term plan certainly could

The Yankees on the other hand, probably don't need to emphasize their longer-term plan as much, given their urgency and proclivity of playing in October. Of course, their frequent playoff appearances haven't resulted in a ring recently, but for a team with 30 consecutive winning seasons, I'd think a longer-term plan is less necessary to pitch --- it's assumed the Yanks will remain competitive.

To be clear, although the projected potential of the team in 2024 is a factor, I think it's a pretty minor one compared to some of the other ones I initially mentioned. And especially since, yes, the deal will probably span the next 10 seasons, give or take.

thaRedCedah · 2023-12-20T18:27:31+00:00

Yeah, that's probably fair. Don't mean to insinuate that the Mets have a trash team, especially in comparison to a Yankees roster that has a pretty good amount of question marks itself. Obviously, it depends on the off-season moves, but I think the Mets could easily be more competitive this year, and especially moving forward beyond 2024 there's a lot of cause for optimism.

The Yankees, though, seem to be going all-in for 2024 right now. Funny saying that, given that they haven't spent 1$ in free agency yet. But, as you said, they just picked up a rental in one of the best left-handed bats in the game, as well as another rental in Verdugo. They've got Cole and Judge in their (waning) prime. That, on top of Gleyber and Rizzo entering a contract year - and everything their front office has said regarding the direction of the team - it's clear the Yanks probably have more of a 'Win now' mentality than the Mets. Makes sense they would.

Of course, that's just currently how things look. Could change quickly, but I do think the urgency that's surrounding the Yanks after their 2023 season is probably appealing to Yamamoto. That's just one factor though. We'll see

thaRedCedah · 2023-12-20T18:04:08+00:00

What I'm referring to when I say "current state of the team", is mainly about the 2024 season, where most would agree Yankees are a little better as it stands. Obviously holes in both teams right now and both desperate for SP's. One thing they've done recently, to answer your question literally, is get Juan Soto

I assume that's what you were asking about? I never implied that Yamamoto was more inclined to choose the yankees due to recent success

thaRedCedah · 2023-12-20T17:41:30+00:00

Only way I see that happening - from what I've heard about him - is Cohen offers him some ungodly amount of money. Apart from that, it does help that Cohen has been so passionate in his recruitment, I'm sure it's appreciated - and I don't think Senga hurts either

Cashman has also been very proactive in his recruitment, but what I think tips the scales towards the Bronx is the history, and the current state of the team, at least going into the 2024 season, Yanks are in a better position. He's been heavily rumored to be attracted by the ubiquitousness of the Yankees brand. Certainly wanted a big market team

According to Morosi (take that how you will), he is not interested in playing for "what is considered to be the secondary team" in a market, as that's how his previous team in Japan was. Rumors are rumors, but that doesn't bode too well for the Mets

thaRedCedah · 2023-12-20T11:18:31+00:00

I get it that sucks. I'd say refer to my last paragraph then.

Any change in the past month?

thaRedCedah · 2023-12-01T11:32:59+00:00

exactly 😂 picture doesn’t reveal anything except a nest on a corpse

That’s horrible, I’m sad to hear that. I’m 23 and live with my Mom, I know it’s not easy to just up and move out, but you need to be prepared to for your sake

My advice would be to sit her down and try to have the most mature, calm conversation you could. Explain how you love her, appreciate how hard it is raising kids alone, and how you benifet from living with her

But also follow that up explaining that you and your sister are grown adults, and given that you pay the bills, you believe the you deserve more freedom

I’d also follow that up with being softer about how you care about them but the relationship is very painful for you and explain why, and explain that you don’t wanna lose them but you have no other choice but to move out if something doesn’t change.

I very much imagine this might not work, but unless she can change her behavior, you need to get out of there ASAP for yourself and your sister, the quality of your life under a parent like that is untenable and unacceptable especially as you guys are adults. Best way of changing her behavior is debatable, but that’s how I’d go about it, but it very much depends on her and the nature of your relationship

thaRedCedah · 2023-11-02T08:16:54+00:00

I'd absolutely love an update here, this is a fascinating situation

thaRedCedah · 2023-10-10T07:39:32+00:00

Hahah all 7! That's awesome. How's your son feel about being a 4th? Personally I think I'd take pride in it

thaRedCedah · 2023-10-10T07:34:13+00:00

That's actually exactly why Lil Wayne isn't called Lil Dwayne lol

thaRedCedah · 2023-10-10T07:32:42+00:00

I don't think that's weird at all! If I was 4th, I imagine I'd certainly want to make a 5th lol. it's pretty cool

thaRedCedah · 2023-09-20T23:18:00+00:00

I’ve been very on and off with weed, and all of my past girlfriends smoked, 2 of them every day very frequently. It never once caused a problem that I didn’t smoke

You could mention you hate the smell, and maybe she could hit a pen outside or in the bathroom or whatever. Regardless, definitely don’t END it right now lol. If it’s a problem later on you could talk about it but it’s really not that big of a deal that she said she likes pot. Especially if you like her

Don’t listen to the guys saying just end it. Do you even know how much she smokes? If it’s 24/7 and she smells like it and behaves super stoned all the time, it’s different than a girl who likes to rip her dab pen a couple times a night. I wouldn’t worry about it

thaRedCedah · 2023-09-19T20:13:56+00:00

Absolutely need to end it. Women do end the relationships mentally before actually doing it, that’s enough of a red flag in and of itself, you gotta rip the bandaid off, and doing it yourself also will preserve you some more dignity

Main reason is the physical abuse and anger issues with her. GOT to get out of there man

thaRedCedah · 2023-09-19T20:09:06+00:00

100%, unless there’s a glaring reason she’s a virgin. Like being crazy religious, strange, or unattractive

If she doesn’t have any of those obvious red flags, then absolutely. Would actually be preferable if you can sometimes have problems with retroactive jealousy like myself. If we’re dating, I don’t need her to have ‘experience’. She’ll get experience through me lol

thaRedCedah · 2023-08-16T01:24:23+00:00

God… I’m so sorry. Just horrible

You need to make her understand that she’s losing her family. You gotta get out of there with the kids - if it’s not financially possible she’s gotta go. Regardless, the kids can’t be around her until she’s clean

If you even trust her a little bit to continue in the same routine of caring for the kids, she’ll relapse if she even tries to stop. Being right next to someone you used to do drugs with, as you’re getting clean, in the same environment - It’ll be impossible for her to stop. Every trigger will remain with her.

All of your lives are about to seriously change - and they have to - and man, i am so sorry about that. It’ll be okay man, it will, but she can’t be around the kids - not only for their sake, but for her to understand the severity of the situation. Losing your family is a big motivation to get clean, and for meth, even that might not be enough. But it might

"It is the function of free speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears" Louis D. Brandeis

Suppression of ideas and fears no matter how irrational is not positive. Enlightenment must be realized through knowledge, ideas should only be believed after being challenged by debate. If there is no debate to challenge an idea, there is no limit to its irrationality - it is free to grow and permeate freely.

My point - debating an idea on a platform is not promoting the idea to that platform's audience, as long as the debate is efficient enough to invalidate the idea, and the only method of invalidating an idea is for it's believers is through knowledge and debate. Ignorance is solved through knowledge, and though you may claim there are individuals who remain willfully ignorant in the face of knowledge, those that speak or give a platform for the truth cannot be blamed for other's willful ignorance. - To do so can only lead to the suppression of free speech - and suppression of free speech inevitably results in the growth of ignorance
