Scandal Sheet

VIDEO VERSION: https://youtu.be/eYppkzBgDmw

This is our much anticipated annual 2025 MLB Baseball Preview episode. It features our favorite New Yorkers and beloved baseball experts/ prognosticators since 2020 - the METS MOB. In addition to signing the largest pro sports contract in history with Juan Soto, this past December, the Mets and are looking forward to a great year. Also, my co-host, Anuradha HAS RETURNED after a brief absence – and is as insightful, funny, and charming as ever. We also discuss the new “Robo Ump” system being tested in Spring Training. Will this help solve the thousands of horrifically bad calls made by Umpires each season? Also, what about salary caps? NFL and NBA have them – why not MLB? 28 baseball owners are accusing the Dodgers and the Mets of ‘buying’ the World Series with a billion dollar payroll they can’t meet. True? Who knew baseball could be so spicy?

The Mets Mob consists of: 5 time, NYC Super Lawyer, David Grover; Handsome Rob from Upper East Side of Manhattan; and Leonardo from Manhattan, NYC radio WFAN personality and host of the motorcycle podcast Arrive Alive, arrivealive.com.

David’s amazing firm is Grover and Fensterstock. You can reach him at 1-866-99-LAWYER (866-995-2993), https://gfpc.us/ or email to DGrover@GroverFen.com. Mention this podcast for additional discounts.

It’s Girl Scout Cookie Season. And your friends at “Scandal Sheet” are shining their investigative flashlight on America’s most beloved “non-profit” sales event. Our 2023 co-host, ELLIE, a Girl Scout from Kindergarten to High School senior, rose to the highest rank in the GSA organization. Now a millennial young woman, Ellie looks back at her decade+ experiences and shares a very CANDID insider view on the 3 mo/year $800 million dollar cookie industrial complex. Are we a nation of health hypocrites? BTW, WE LOVE AND SUPPORT THE GIRLS! … it’s just some of the adults in the mix whose motives may not be entirely spotless. (This is a replay from March 2023)

You’ll love our cold open – mobsters doing a cookie deal in an alley in Queens, in the middle of the night, starring John Hoekstra, who is also our composer.

With the fires contained and around-the-clock media coverage at its end, it’s time to ask the important question – how could this happen?

Long time guests of this pod and popular NYC baseball prognosticators, THE METS MOB, weigh in on this momentous agreement. This is cat nip for both NYC and DC baseball fans!

No one loves Christmas more than your friends at Scandal Sheet. But that doesn’t mean we can’t explore some obvious historical inconsistencies. Right? For example, why is Christmas celebrated on December 25? Only 2 of the 4 Gospels in the Christian New Testament even discuss the birth of the infant Jesus and neither mentions a date. But they do give us clues that the birthday was more likely in the spring or summer - and not winter. Join co-host Thad (a Catholic) co-host Anuradha (a Hindu), and regular guests David/Jill Grover (a Jewish couple) as we follow the star of holiday investigation.

And don’t miss the hilarious cold open, “On The Road With The Maji.”

No one loves our Winter religious faith traditions more than your friends at Scandal Sheet. We embrace both Christmas (yes, we insist on keeping ‘Christ’ in Christmas!). And, we also love Hanukah, which this year begins with the current Gregorian calendar of Christmas Day. That’s pretty cool, right? (Doesn’t happen that often.) So cheers everyone! In this comedy teaser we give you a little heads up of our coming episode. Here the Magi - mentioned in scripture - have a little conversation amongst themselves, that the Gospel of Matthew apparently missed. (Matt, no worries, dude. No tape recorders in 0 CE - we get it.) But we have uncovered these lost fragments somehow! – and are sharing with Biblical scholars around the world. But our listeners get this first! Here at the pod, we have our own archeological sources 😊. Stay tuned for the complete episode, “CHRISTMAS UNWRAPPED”, coming to your favorite pod platform very soon! Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all!

Jack Kerouac would be so proud of us …

NOTE: We wanted to rush this out to fans, as this I breaking news – so this is not edited. You’re getting the raw sausage, as it is made – for good or bad. Kind of a mess – but true fans will enjoy.

Baseball fans throughout the country – but especially in the Mid-Atlantic area – were largely caught by surprise this week when the New York Mets signed player-phenom, JUAN SOTO, to the largest professional sports contract in all history (to date) $765 million over 15 years. Long time guests of this pod and popular NYC baseball prognosticators, THE METS MOB, weigh in on this momentous agreement.

And why did Juan gain 40 pounds in just 2 months?? People want to know this stuff. Granted, the spartan discipline that ball players must endure for 6 months, in season, in diet and endless workouts is very onerous. We can’t blame a guy that was just in the World Series in October for ordering some pizzas and cracking open some Ben and Jerry’s ice cream in the off season. Right? We’d be hypocrites. But can a 26 year old drop that kind of weight in the next 2 months? Guess we’ll see.

Baseball fans throughout the country – but especially in the Mid-Atlantic area – were largely caught by surprise this week when the New York Mets signed player-phenom, JUAN SOTO, to the largest professional sports contract in all history (to date) $765 million over 15 years. The official press conference was held on Thursday, December 12 and we offer an excerpt here. Scandal Sheet’s long-time baseball experts and prognosticators, the METS Mob, were all scheduled to speak on this historic contract on December 13^th. Timing fell apart at the last minute and is re-scheduled for this Sunday, December 15th. But, in the meantime, I am joined by one of the three ‘Mob’-sters, 5 time, NYC Super Lawyer, David Grover, of the firm of Grover and Fensterstock for a quick teaser on this eye-popping contract and for a preview of what is to come from the full group. Please stay tuned – and put Sunday, December 15 on your calendar and report back for the full story on a contract that could profoundly affect the game of baseball, going forward.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!. “Scandal Sheet” is known for its produced comedy skits (SNL/Mel Brooks – eat your heart out bit***s). Today we share several Thanksgiving favorites.

CONTENTS:

• “Thanksgiving Quiz Show” Digitally re-mastered! This hugely popular segment features our founding co-host, Kassia and several performers from our talented repertoire group.
• “Pilgrim’s Progress? The First Thanksgiving” Our co-host, Anuradha is transported to Plymouth, Mass. In 1621, via our high tech EZ Bake Oven time machine, to interview major players in the event – both pilgrims and Indians. Fortunately, the refugees from Amsterdam brought with them their most famous export … (hint: one smokes it). Hijinks ensue.
• “Unannounced Guests? Columbus ‘Discovers’ America” Featuring our previous co-host Ellie on her maiden voyage with the pod.

How much podcast fun can you possibly have while taking the edge off of cooking all day and between football games??!!
