Poor John. Just trying to enjoy a baseball game when…
… he was approached by Mets field reporter Steve Gelbs, with whom he chatted for about four minutes during gameplay in the fourth inning.
“This is absolutely amazing,” he told Gelbs. “I can’t quite believe it’s happening. It doesn’t feel real. It doesn’t feel like we’re allowed to have this many nice things in one place. I hope everything’s going to stay like this… forever, ideally.” (via LateNighter)
Gelbs asked John about his production process…
Oliver responded “It has changed it a little bit, because in slower news times, we can do that slower cooking.”
“We’re still trying to do that,” he allowed. “But when things hypothetically speaking are happening, like a president suggesting sending American citizens overseas to foreign Gulags, yeah, that probably feels like something that you need to address as soon as possible.”
“So, yes,” Oliver added. “We’re working at two speeds right now. Our regular slow speed, and then crash shows, unfortunately.” (via LateNighter)
It is unclear how Mike Piazza and Keith Hernandez feel about Mr. Oliver’s commentary. I just feel bad for the guy as he was trying to enjoy a baseball game.
In other news, yes of course Steve Cohen tweeted. The Mets swept, you think Steve wasn’t going to take a victory lap? Let’s see if his phone still works should the Phillies beat the Mets. I will bet 100% heavy NO.
