1:09

July 3rd, 2024.

1:11

I'm John Paul

1:13

Flaim joined by Eric Bickel. Morning. Morning.

1:16

And Johnny Cakes-Sauville. Not

1:18

only is it a Wednesday, JP, by my

1:20

calendar it's the first Wednesday of the month.

1:23

That means the Cakes Classic is going down

1:25

tonight at MGM National Harbor in roughly 13

1:28

hours. Big night. So I'd love to

1:30

see all the degenerates that aren't traveling

1:33

for July 4th. Stop by MGM National

1:35

Harbor. See some flops. Any guest bounties

1:37

this week? You're looking at them. I

1:40

am the only guest

1:42

bounty on the roster. Couldn't get Juliet in

1:44

there. Nope. People gunning for you. This is

1:46

it right here. Right. You want to score

1:49

an extra big bounty? I'm your guy. Look

1:51

for the guy with the Iron Maiden t-shirt.

1:53

Well, I'll probably change before the event tonight,

1:55

but yeah, I might be wearing something along

1:57

those lines. So tonight, 715. Love. Don't

2:00

you have over 20 Iron Maiden t-shirts? So there's

2:02

a good chance you're gonna change from one into another. It's

2:04

probably 25 to 30 at this point. You

2:07

can never have enough JP. You can never have too

2:09

many. Are they all black? The

2:11

majority of them are black. I'd say out of

2:13

the... Let's just round it up to 30. Out

2:17

of the 30-ish, probably 28

2:19

are black. I

2:22

don't think I own 30 t-shirts. Oh,

2:24

I definitely... I own way more

2:27

than 30 t-shirts. Where

2:29

do you put them? My closet,

2:32

chests of drawers, wherever I can fit them.

2:34

Now I weed them out and get rid

2:36

of the old nubbers. Shrunken

2:39

cotton nubbers don't fit anymore. Yeah,

2:42

but these Iron Maiden are all cotton. They're

2:44

like... If you

2:46

get a Rockstar t-shirt or whatever, like a

2:48

concert tee, they're like

2:50

the old cheap cotton, right? They don't

2:52

make those modern and silly. No, they

2:54

don't make them moisture wicking. It's tradition.

2:57

If you buy a concert t-shirt, they're almost

3:00

always 100% cotton. Awful.

3:03

So they're like $2 t-shirts that they sell for like $50. Yeah,

3:05

$40 or $50 depending

3:07

on what show you're going to. When

3:09

you have 30 Iron Maiden t-shirts, what

3:12

made you choose that one today? I

3:15

didn't have it. Just because they didn't have it. It

3:17

was clean. It wasn't completely rank-up.

3:19

Well, I'm assuming at least 27 of them were clean.

3:23

So if you go, do you actually look through

3:25

them and go, I like this logo today. I

3:27

might say, hey, you know what? I like this

3:29

mid 80s power slave Egyptian

3:32

motif. So that's what I'm going with today. Is that the

3:34

name of an album? It is. That is

3:36

correct. Yes. Gotcha.

3:39

Yeah. So now you know. By

3:41

the way, speaking of concerts, we're completely slow playing the fact

3:43

that JP and I will be

3:45

helping to intro the bands at Nova

3:47

Nights at Wolf Trap this

3:49

July 4th weekend on Sunday. Yes.

3:53

So if you're heading out there, say hello. Don't

3:55

boo us when we go up on stage and do our our

3:58

snappy repartee. for 15 or

4:01

20 seconds before we intro the bands. Don't

4:03

throw around tomatoes at us please. We've learned, you get

4:05

on stage, get up, get out. Get in and get

4:07

out. We know why the people are there. They're

4:10

not there to see us. We

4:12

will go up, we'll introduce ourselves, and then

4:14

we will turn it over to the real

4:16

stars of the night. Are you ready for

4:18

some great music? Yeah,

4:20

I mean, I mean, I've been swimming. Our stick

4:22

is. That's what I'll do. Our stick is timeless

4:25

and it's easy. It actually couldn't be any easier.

4:27

Yeah, for sure. Well, I'll tell you what will

4:29

be easier. We'll be sleeping in these next few

4:31

days. That's certainly the easiest

4:33

thing to do. I am so excited

4:35

to sleep in. Why are you so

4:37

particularly exhausted, it seems like the last

4:39

month? I

4:41

don't know. Are you staying

4:43

up later than usual? Not really. I mean, last time I went

4:45

to bed about 10.30. It's,

4:48

I don't know. That's just not enough. For attention. For 10.30

4:50

is not enough. Cause I went to bed at roughly 10.30

4:53

because I wasn't

4:55

dragged to fireworks last night, but I

4:58

went. Begrudgingly. Little bit

5:00

begrudgingly because my mother-in-law wants to see

5:02

fireworks. And look, she wants to see

5:04

fireworks. Tell Amy to take her.

5:07

We can help. My wife did offer. She's like, if

5:09

you want to stay home and chill, that's

5:11

fine. And I was like, no, no, it's all good. I

5:14

will participate in this thing

5:16

called, I know it's a weird concept, community.

5:19

Like people getting together for

5:22

a common thing, enjoying

5:24

a common thing together, that being the

5:26

fireworks. Celebrating the independence of our nation.

5:28

That is correct. Don't forget why you're

5:30

watching the fireworks. I understand why. Saw

5:33

some friends, saw the head coach of Magruder Lacrosse

5:35

and his wife and his family. It's good to

5:37

see them. Saw one of my buddies who's a

5:40

cop, saw him, and then

5:42

sat down for 15 minutes of fireworks.

5:45

Drove my mother-in-law home. That's the perfect amount

5:47

of fireworks. 15 minutes. It's actually perfect.

5:49

Did you bring the dog? No,

5:51

you don't. I saw a segment on Fox

5:53

five, right? I mean, you don't bring, unless

5:56

your dog just sees in vet and is

5:58

clearly not afraid of fireworks. You

6:00

just don't roll those dice. Yeah, I saw a segment

6:02

on Fox 5 when I was going to the bathroom

6:04

yesterday, where it was

6:06

about pets dealing with fireworks. They

6:09

said 75% of pets are terrified. Terrified

6:11

of them. I'll never forget when

6:14

I was a much younger man,

6:16

when I was first dating my wife, or

6:18

this might have been a bit along in

6:20

our courtship. We brought one of my dad's

6:22

dogs, the fireworks, at Allen's Pond, way back

6:24

in the day. One of those big boys,

6:27

because growing up, you had a small one.

6:29

Yeah, this is... But then he graduated to

6:31

big dogs. My dad had a big dog.

6:33

It was a rock-wiler mix.

6:35

Yeah. And his dog probably weighed, I don't

6:38

know, 80, 90, maybe 100 pounds. And

6:41

once the first boom went

6:43

off, we were like, we made a

6:45

terrible mistake. Because she freaked out. She's

6:48

pulling on her leash. She's trying to

6:50

hide underneath cars. It was just a

6:52

debacle. We had to leave. Never

6:55

encourage you that the fireworks might affect a

6:57

dog. E.B., I was young

6:59

and stupid. Younger and stupider than I

7:01

am now. So didn't really think

7:04

about it. Didn't think about it much,

7:06

but then learned my lesson. That dad...

7:08

When you were in that courtship phase,

7:10

pre-marriage, but maybe you were engaged, and

7:14

she would stay over at your dad's

7:16

house. Sure. And

7:18

you were in that room in the basement. Yeah,

7:20

it was called the new room, JP. The new

7:22

room. Even though it had

7:24

been around for 15-ish years. Yeah,

7:27

the new room. Did you guys sleep on a bunk

7:29

bed? Why is that in my head? There was a

7:31

bunk bed in there. You guys slept on a bunk

7:33

bed? Separately, JP. She would sleep

7:35

on the bottom bunk bed, and I would climb to

7:37

the top. Why was there a bunk bed there? It

7:39

was all very platonic. Was that the roost you guys

7:41

did? No, of course not. Why

7:44

was there a bunk bed? Here's

7:46

why. Because at some point, my two

7:48

younger brothers lived in the same room...

7:50

Okay. ...in bunk beds, and then they

7:52

got bumped down. And eventually that got

7:54

bumped down. Yeah, that bad news. So

7:56

Mark moved to your room, Ross moved

7:59

to Mark. Yeah. He had a room...

8:01

himself around and you just moved the

8:03

bunk bed down there to the basement

8:05

and that's where we're cohabitating that

8:07

was became our room That

8:11

was our spot. But you know what? I

8:13

honestly think the reason why I'm so freaking

8:15

tired is most of my vacation

8:18

Other than like Christmas is just like going to

8:21

games Like I'm I've

8:23

had a vacation since Christmas like

8:25

a vacation Had been

8:27

off but it's just like going to games.

8:29

Yeah. Yeah, so I like I just need

8:31

a week of sleeping in I'll be recharged

8:34

some downtime. I'll be recharged. I got plenty

8:36

of downtime Sleeping

8:39

part Freaking

8:41

sleep in for a week straight Fantastic.

8:45

But yes of you already great time yesterday

8:47

by the way out at a renditions I'm

8:49

very there was a snafu other was we

8:51

had to get lunch. I took JP suggests

8:53

and I went to rips Okay, I like

8:56

we have a lot of choices I think

8:58

on the super lowdown JP must have like

9:00

a secret endorsement with rips He

9:02

raves about that place. I've gone many

9:04

many times with my family and other

9:06

families We went out with ESPN

9:08

years ago Weird

9:10

nostalgia about rips. I mean to me, but

9:13

also I have a couple go-to

9:15

meals and that are very good I mean rips

9:17

is fine for the people that

9:19

are listening to know what it is

9:21

For me the more impactful part of

9:23

rips is their gigantic beer store

9:25

Yeah, like my dad her store my dad

9:27

would bring me into that as a kid

9:29

Yeah, and I would just marvel and I

9:31

would walk around look look at the beer

9:33

coolers and walk like wow That's your idea

9:35

of heaven. This place is amazing Just

9:40

look at all the offerings like man, I

9:42

can't wait to be old enough to consume

9:44

No, but you can go to a karabas

9:46

or applebees. There's a bunch of chain places

9:49

Different because usually have good service.

9:51

We've had many events there over the year just did

9:53

a Believe it was 90th

9:56

birthday party for mr. Frazier at rips. They take

9:58

care of you in the food It's good. Yeah,

10:01

it's fine. It's fine. You get

10:03

a good crab cake sandwich. I'm sure it's delicious. It's

10:05

fine We were there we got there before 11 so

10:08

it was like we had breakfast Yeah, the tail

10:10

end of breakfast and it was fine. Mm-hmm, but

10:12

leaving. Okay You

10:14

know how that parking lot is not right. I believe it's

10:17

like a gravel parking lot, right? It's

10:20

not a money parking lot as long as it's

10:22

only gravel like off to the side like towards

10:24

Chick-fil-a There's a lot of crap around there. Okay,

10:26

so I'm heading over towards old Salih renditions And

10:29

all of a sudden my tire pressure monitor goes

10:31

off the worst and I look at and I

10:33

know Immediately when it goes off like that

10:35

like out of nowhere the nail and the tire 100%

10:40

I look at it and it's it's not like it 35 pounds of

10:45

Sound like eight I go.

10:47

Oh this thing is this thing is leaking

10:49

felt with the quickness. Yeah, it's not

10:51

a slow burn We eventually and there's nothing around there.

10:53

Like we're like we need a service station I can't

10:55

find a service station like what by the time at

10:57

that point. I think I was on route two I

10:59

don't know what the hell route I was on Reaver.

11:01

I don't know what road I was right around rips

11:03

There's a service station right to your left. Well, no,

11:05

I mean it took about two or three minutes for

11:07

it to go off I eventually I was I

11:10

was on I took Central Avenue and I was

11:12

down right, you know past Homestead Gardens, whatever it's

11:14

just it's this kind of country over there and

11:18

finally pulled into like some grocery some country

11:21

store, you know, and There

11:23

was some gas pumps there and we're grasping

11:26

that somebody might be able to help grasping And

11:28

luckily some guy in a mobile

11:32

Auto, whatever van pulled

11:34

over he was gonna go get a sandwich in

11:37

there what and he's any just my happens He

11:39

saw checking the tires. Yeah, because Long

11:42

story short there was like a metal shank in

11:44

there. Okay, it was like three inches

11:46

long. You can hear it. Mm-hmm leaking

11:49

air Yeah, you can hear

11:51

it from like five feet away. That's it.

11:53

That tire is Felt

11:55

it crushed. So you change the tire on

11:58

me paid the guy 50 bucks Yeah, you

12:00

know he had like a real Jack

12:02

he had like oh, yeah, he's got

12:05

like a NASCAR. Yeah, you know bolt

12:07

remover Yeah

12:11

Guy that's spinning though. No, no, whatever

12:13

tool Over

12:16

there we would have been you know Messing

12:19

with the lug nuts. Yeah, it would take an hour.

12:21

We would strip them. It would have taken forever So

12:25

I got right now currently I have a massive

12:27

tire in the backseat of the car I'm

12:29

driving around a little donut. Oh, it's

12:31

not the second time I've been driving around on a donut

12:34

and that donuts only have certain

12:36

amount of miles on them too and they're

12:38

super They say they're super embarrassing to her

12:40

embarrassing. Oh, no You

12:42

can say I changed the tire back

12:44

when I was in college me and my boy

12:46

bill went to an Orioles game And

12:49

on the way home got a flat tire changed

12:51

it into the donut Had to

12:54

drive, you know another 30

12:56

40 miles in the donut exploded and I had to call

12:58

my dad in the middle of the night to pick us

13:00

up No, this is a little bit more of a quality

13:02

donut. It's still embarrassing compared to the others, but it's fine

13:06

Believe me. I'm in no rush to change it. I'm

13:08

sure you're not painting my butt You're not driving

13:10

to Outer Banks on the donut. Are you? No,

13:13

no, you can't do that No, if you

13:15

take a trip over 50 miles

13:17

on a donut, you might

13:19

be the dumbest driver in the world I'm

13:22

not gonna take a long drive But I'm gonna

13:24

take me a few days to get it fixed

13:26

because I just don't feel like dealing with understood

13:28

to be honest Okay, you're kicking that and completely

13:30

don't feel like dealing with it. I

13:32

can see it on your face. Yeah, I Can

13:35

tell but we don't nut it over to red

13:37

dishes had a great time awesome weather Oh my

13:49

like store before 95? Yeah, and it's gonna

13:51

feel like a hundred ish Yeah,

13:53

or more and then after the

13:55

round about these we you know,

13:57

we're debating the point Grabs.

14:00

We were debating mics, cantlers. Yes. It

14:02

just sort of sheer convenience. We went

14:04

to mics great

14:06

time But I have to

14:09

tell you I feel like mics has

14:11

been romanticized a little bit. Okay, it's

14:13

a dump for hillbillies too much It's

14:15

a dump for you. It's the mics on

14:17

south river. Yeah in reeva. Yeah. Yeah, it's

14:19

a dump for hillbillies The

14:21

food's fine. Yeah, I mean, you know,

14:24

14:26

soft shell crabs Meanwhile mike and his

it's fine then you weren't

16:35

happy with mics not everything

16:37

can be famous Dave's that's

16:39

his joint right Eric Eric

16:42

thinks Mike's a crab house is gonna

16:44

have a Michelin star no

16:47

16:49

the water

16:54

you're just crazy it's no

16:56

no no no not nicer places sure

16:58

there are no restaurants yes with waterfront

17:00

views but crab houses in

17:02

and of what

17:05

they are at their core yeah are places

17:08

that are a little bit messy where you

17:10

crab shells are flying all over the place

17:12

it's the same thing with like a bar

17:15

a barbecue joint you know like a barbecue

17:17

joint like those either is it good is

17:19

it gonna serve you on like the finest

17:21

China they're gonna have a basket or a

17:23

tray of their meats listen

17:26

I like this I like it it's

17:28

just it's a little overrated that's all

17:30

what it is not for her all

17:32

right well where the crab were the

17:34

crabs overrated or were just the apps

17:36

were actually I was shocked so we

17:38

got large okay I mean

17:40

there's jumbos I don't know all that we only

17:43

had we only got like believe we've

17:45

got a lot of food but we only got like

17:47

six crabs we just need a couple each okay half

17:49

dozen all right a couple each that probably cost you

17:51

50 bucks at least nubs think

17:53

it was like 60 I don't know what the I

17:55

don't know what the hell it was right be honest

17:58

with you cakes But

18:00

we got soft shell crabs is really good. The

18:02

large crabs. I thought they were a little small

18:04

side. I was stunned how I

18:07

mean, it took me 20 minutes. Like there was a lot of meat in

18:09

there. You know what I mean? Typically

18:11

larges are kind of more full than

18:13

jumbos. Jumbos look big. Yeah, but the

18:15

but they're not as full Yeah, this

18:17

one was just more there was just

18:19

meat everywhere. Yeah, and uh, honestly It

18:23

was one full crab. I was pretty good

18:26

And I got tired of messing with it.

18:28

Did you get hush puppies too? No, we

18:30

got tuna bites Hush

18:33

puppies warm you dip them in

18:35

like either honey or like a

18:38

honey butter They are a 15

18:41

out of 10 never occurred to us. We got

18:43

soft shell crabs. Those are good. Hey, you know,

18:45

crabs we didn't we got Variety

18:48

we got ahi tuna bites. I hate tuna

18:50

bites were extraordinary. Very good. I mean everything

18:52

was good I don't have a complaint. Just

18:55

it it's just a dilapidated dump and I

18:57

just you know, I'm It's

18:59

not that I it's very later like three

19:01

weeks ago. It's it's older, but

19:04

it's not It's not dilapidated

19:06

like that part. I just don't

19:08

understand like Well, if that's

19:10

your idea nice, I don't know what It's

19:13

20:50

I don't know if he's great, but

20:52

he's pretty good TJ

20:56

Hearst Struck out ten

20:58

batters over five and two third pretty good

21:00

innings of one run ball

21:02

on five hits for the Nationals This

21:05

was his second ten plus strikeout game

21:07

this season in four starts

21:09

at Nats Park this season He's

21:11

got 31 strikeouts in 20 innings

21:14

pitched However, the Nationals

21:16

couldn't pull through with the win. They

21:19

fall to the Mets seven

21:21

to two On

21:23

the positive side see your CJ Abrams went

21:25

two for five He's got

21:28

a five game on base streak. He's

21:30

hitting 400 with the double

21:32

a home run to RBI's in Six

21:35

for 15 streak Jacob young

21:38

he's hitting 342 over his last 11 games I

21:41

don't know there's some positives but EB

21:43

you wanted to talk about their bullpen,

21:45

which is definitely not my strength Let's

21:47

stick with the positive for before we

21:49

get into the negative. Yeah, I'm stealing

21:51

this from at slangs on sports Sarah

21:53

Langs Majorly pitchers

21:56

with two 10k

21:58

no-walk games in their first six

22:00

career outings since at least 1901. DJ

22:04

hers, Steven Strasburg. That's

22:07

your nice list. That is your entire

22:09

list. That's crazy. That's pretty amazing. No,

22:13

listen, I don't know anything about the bullpen. I

22:15

do know I think Hunter Harvey has been involved

22:17

in two of the last the bockels. Garcia came

22:20

in there and, you know, yeah,

22:22

the deck is stacked to get you a little bit right

22:24

when you start next year. And you get a guy in

22:26

second and you know, but it falls apart. But

22:29

what I really want to talk about, to be

22:31

honest with you, is my way too early

22:33

vibe on James

22:36

Wood. I'm excited

22:38

about. He's a

22:40

little too nonchalant for me. He's

22:43

a need more passion, more fire.

22:45

They hit up. They had a they had a

22:47

I mean, a soft line drive, I would say

22:50

out to him in the outfield and he kind

22:52

of didn't know how to play it. He

22:55

definitely didn't lay out for it. He just

22:57

kind of just kind of

22:59

like smothered it, scooped it. He you know,

23:01

he just definitely didn't know what to do.

23:03

OK. And then if you just see him

23:05

like when we talk about him, this

23:07

is the moment being not too big for him. That

23:09

is definitely true. I never see the calmer guy. I

23:12

just don't like to see a little more

23:14

Pete Rose in him. Pete Rose.

23:18

A little more. I mean, that's quite an

23:20

extreme. OK, just you don't have to go.

23:22

But to go from like like, you know,

23:24

just a lolly guy. He's a lolly gagger.

23:27

He's just got a lope to him. And

23:30

that's because of his build and his body size.

23:32

It's true. I mean, six, seven didn't he need

23:34

his very first game? He hit a ground ball

23:36

in the bottom of the ninth and he hauled

23:38

down the line. I'm going to get that down

23:40

the line and beat the throw for sure. But

23:42

he didn't hustle on that play any outfield.

23:45

And I don't know when they walked him

23:48

and he just kind of listen, he's being cool.

23:50

Mike's crab house isn't good enough for you. James

23:52

Wood isn't good enough. I'm not saying he's not

23:54

good enough for you. I'm not saying he's not

23:56

good enough. I'm just saying there's a hint of

23:58

nonchalance to him. He's calling

24:00

it now, but was it a single? Was

24:03

it a single that turned into a double because he

24:05

was so nonchalant or it was just a single and

24:07

he didn't like the Way that he approached it. Well,

24:09

yes, they had no hits. I'm talking about the outfield

24:11

play It was a single right

24:14

in front of him, but didn't even dude. He didn't

24:16

die didn't land yet Okay for that. Well,

24:18

maybe he misjudged it didn't get it Did

24:22

the runner extend it to a double? It is

24:24

not a lot of them. No, okay in front

24:26

of him. He kept it from it's fine But

24:29

I believe you or I would have at least dove

24:32

probably would have caught it Probably would have

24:34

read it off the bat better. I mean maybe when I was

24:36

17. Yeah And

24:39

I don't know I'm listen. It's my way

24:42

too early. There's just a non too early.

24:44

It's just a nonchalance to him that I

24:47

know that in terms of observing I do

24:49

know that it's 386 and like JP predicts

24:52

30 bombs over here I

24:54

do know in terms of his personality. Yeah

24:56

when I was reading about him. Yeah the

24:59

minor league manager said Because

25:02

you know, he bounced around in the minders. It's

25:04

not like he was with one team for a

25:06

bunch of years Right, they kept moving him up

25:08

He said that it takes him a couple weeks

25:10

to kind of warm up in terms of his

25:12

personality To the players around

25:14

him and that kind of makes some sense You

25:17

know, he's new to the clubhouse

25:19

just meeting guys. I'm socially awkward

25:21

simulating. I Understand and listen,

25:23

I hope he's a superstar. I'll be the Hall

25:25

of Famer kind of kind of banking on it

25:27

to be honest with you Well, he went over

25:30

yesterday But I do

25:32

think over time Based

25:34

on what he's done in the minors based on where

25:36

he was drafted and all they claim He should be

25:38

a big-time power hitter

25:40

who's gonna also extend

25:44

Some hits with his speed he's

25:46

definitely fast. I hope he's a

25:48

multiple-time all-star. That's the expectation I

25:50

would be friends comes up and

25:54

is not a multiple Repeat

25:57

all-star guy. That's a disappointment

25:59

Jason always talks about this.

26:01

So the nationals are

26:03

17 games back in the

26:05

NLE. NLE is pretty

26:07

much decided the Phillies have a nine game

26:09

lead. The Brewers have a six

26:11

game lead in the central and the Dodgers have an

26:13

eight and a half game lead. Those divisions

26:15

are pretty much decided already

26:18

in major league baseball. Speaking of the

26:20

Dodgers, um, the all-star games

26:22

coming up, the centerpiece of

26:24

the all-star game is still

26:26

the home run Derby. Shohei

26:28

Ohtani, who is second in

26:30

the majors with 27 home runs, says

26:33

he will not participate in the home run

26:35

Derby. That's not great. Cakes,

26:39

it's an Arlington at what field?

26:42

I will bet $2. I'll probably

26:44

give it back to you because I can

26:46

tell how confident you are. What is the

26:48

name of the field in Arlington? KP in

26:50

this shifting landscape of

26:52

brand new corporate names for

26:54

stadiums and arenas. I

26:57

must say that I can't keep

26:59

up with all of them, but

27:01

I believe I do know the correct

27:03

and current name of the

27:05

ballpark that the Rangers play in. I

27:07

believe it's called globe life

27:09

ballpark. Well done. Am

27:12

I correct? Yes. I

27:15

owe you a dollar unless you can break

27:17

20. I don't think I

27:19

can do that at this point. You just give me an IOU.

27:22

Yeah, it feels good. You can bet MoMA. You can

27:24

bet MoMA. You can bet MoMA. Okay.

27:26

It's not a big deal. I mean, Shohei

27:28

obviously would be the largest attraction. There's no doubt

27:30

about it. It's like

27:33

the dunk contest. It's kind of silly. It's fun

27:35

for the fans, but it's, you know, it means

27:37

nothing to the guys. Overall it's dumb. I agree,

27:39

but with Shohei in it, it

27:42

has some cachet and it's going to draw

27:44

a lot more eyeballs. For sure. And

27:46

Shohei doing anything. Yeah. He was in

27:48

the Derby in 2021 and he set a

27:50

record for the most home runs. I mean,

27:52

this is absurd of at least 500

27:55

feet. He hit six of them. I

27:58

mean, the power is an absolute monster. outrageous.

28:02

A lot of people are going to be sad

28:05

on the 4th of July because Joey Chestnut

28:08

was banned from Nathan's hot

28:10

dog eating contest. It's taking

28:12

an American tradition, that tradition

28:15

being gluttony and

28:17

it's just... The contest still exists. The contest

28:19

still exists but you're taking the biggest star

28:21

out of the contest. So

28:24

they were unable to work out a compromise

28:26

but he has not only

28:29

the event against Kobayashi which is gonna

28:31

be on Netflix coming up. That's in

28:33

September. September, okay. That's like right before

28:36

the NFL season I believe. But

28:38

he's going to be doing some event in

28:41

Fort Bliss where

28:43

he's gonna be eating all beef hot

28:45

dogs for five minutes

28:47

I believe. I think he's doing it against like a

28:50

handful of American soldiers. Correct. And

28:52

service people. Correct. You think he's not

28:54

gonna smoke them? You think

28:57

there's a guy on a military base

28:59

that can out eat Joey Chestnut? I like

29:01

the play on words. It's called the Fort

29:03

Bliss meet and greet. Okay, very nice. Meet

29:05

with an A. I do like that. Caitlin

29:08

Clark and Angel Reese make the WNBA

29:10

All-Star squad. I was stunned this morning.

29:12

Dude, the WNBA is blowing up to

29:14

an extent. There were 20,000

29:17

people that came out to see Caitlin

29:19

Clark play last night against Vegas. But

29:22

it's blowing up to this extent. Click

29:24

on espn.com and the

29:26

first story I see headline was WNBA

29:29

All-Star Snubs. I can't believe that's blowing

29:31

up to that point. I was talking

29:34

about it last night. I'm stunned because

29:36

we turned it on. After

29:38

the Mets pummeled us to the next trainings or whatever,

29:40

we were just seeing what else is on watch a

29:42

little of the Orioles. And then

29:45

at some point in there, I can't

29:47

remember at which point we put the

29:49

WNBA. And I'm stunned the interest level

29:52

has sustained. So she's not scoring as

29:54

much as you'd expect. I think she

29:56

finished with 13 points,

29:58

but she had another double. digit assist

30:00

game but drab was the first one

30:03

on this show who mentioned it when

30:05

we all started watching women's basketball mostly

30:08

during the ncaa tournament so

30:11

many missed layups drab you were

30:13

all over it ahead of the

30:15

curve bunnies get missed it's embarrassing

30:18

yeah it's it's hard to watch at times i mean

30:20

my son will get me in the backyard shooting it

30:23

if he misses one horrendously sometimes

30:25

he'll snicker and say that was like

30:27

a wnba plane he's not trying to

30:29

be mean it's just like

30:32

it's just a different level it's a little

30:34

bit of a double-edged sword with color too

30:36

because i think the coach has

30:38

indicated and you know we've criticized her at times

30:40

for all the turnovers and everything but

30:42

kind of what makes her special is her just

30:45

balling going for it you know shooting

30:48

from 35 feet taking these reckless shots that's

30:51

kind of what makes her interesting so then

30:53

when she plays a little bit more controlled

30:55

i don't know how many turnovers she had

30:57

last night but when she's

30:59

just not launching them at every opportunity she's

31:02

a little more and then she's kind of like more in

31:04

the pack it it

31:06

was a brick fest last night she was she was launching if

31:08

she was one for seven that i saw when i was watching

31:11

it right but that's way down for

31:13

her like she should probably take 15 to 20

31:15

shots no no this was like in the first

31:17

quarter beginning the second quarter she was

31:19

one for seven for the field she only took 12

31:21

shots we've seen the the clip

31:23

the one viral the last 24 hours of

31:25

angel reese getting rebound after rebound after miss

31:28

after miss under the basket no why don't

31:30

she's double doubling all the time sometimes it's

31:32

tough to watch and by the

31:34

way we should be betting on her double

31:36

double streak she's reached 11 double

31:39

doubles now angel reese

31:41

yeah why aren't we betting that drab i

31:43

feel like you're probably probably not probably not great

31:45

odds at this point you're probably correct on that

31:48

takes never factors in that that x factor

31:50

nope i just i just grabbed the most

31:52

obvious most obvious trend i can find it's

31:54

probably like minus five thousand or something and

31:56

then i met not uh making a little

31:58

bit of money off of it Alright,

33:05

it, but I also logged some

33:08

time and I'm not sure exactly

33:10

when it was because I was icing my knee

33:12

and I've been going through these like just different

33:14

times of the day. I'm just icing my knee,

33:16

left knee, 15 minutes, right knee, 15 minutes. I

33:21

watched the end of one of

33:24

the Euro games and it was one of

33:26

the most exciting ends ever. It

33:29

was Austria against Turkey.

33:33

I don't know if these

33:36

referees just extend the

33:38

time when it's supposed

33:40

to be four minutes of extra

33:42

time. They'll flash

33:44

four minutes and those

33:47

four minutes sometimes seem to take like 10

33:49

minutes and they almost just seem to

33:51

let them have, for lack of a better term,

33:53

one more run at it. Austria's

33:58

scrambling at the end. scrambling

34:00

because they're down two to one and

34:02

they crossed the ball down the field you

34:06

realize this is the last gasp right you

34:08

know like they're just grasping long kick the

34:11

guy from Austria then crosses it to

34:14

a guy who hits a header that 90 times

34:17

99 times out of a

34:19

hundred is a goal bangs it down low

34:21

to the corner and the goalie makes just

34:23

an absurd save game over hmm it

34:25

was pretty cool to watch if drab

34:27

t-shirt were there he would have finished the header I've

34:30

heard more is elite header

34:32

elite header the EB used to

34:35

be a target on our co-ed

34:37

team back in the day okay

34:39

header elite but I was

34:41

okay you

34:43

need a target up there yeah tall guy

34:45

drop was also a swoosh or like he

in Wendy's near me to figure out

37:33

42:22

official heating and cooling company

42:27

of the Junkies. I'm

42:29

John Paul Flame joined by Eric Bickle and

42:31

Johnny Cakes Auvil. Yep. During

42:34

the break, Mike

42:36

Marr was alleging that

42:39

if you play Blackjack at

42:41

the casino, OK, yes, once

42:44

your hand is done and they go through

42:46

the cards that they then shred those cards,

42:48

you will never use those cards again. Apparently

42:51

there's some truth to it in baccarat. But

42:54

in Blackjack, I've seen what they do. They

42:56

stack them. They put them in little things.

42:58

It gets shuffled. It's called a shoe. Yes.

43:02

Rob, be very upset in this conversation. Yeah, because

43:04

you're watching a TikTok video real quick and you

43:06

know, you can bend the cards, though. So if

43:08

you bend the cards in Blackjack, wouldn't they dispose

43:10

of those cards? I

43:13

don't know. Are you are you allowed to bend the

43:15

cards in Blackjack? I don't think so. I think you're

43:17

getting your games mixed up. OK, I must be. But

43:19

baccarat, I know. I was reading Google. You can baccarat.

43:22

You can baccarat. They baccarat. You do whatever you want.

43:24

Are you even like supposed to touch? I don't know.

43:26

I'm asking a question. I

43:28

like how you couch. You got afraid. You have to do that

43:30

on this show or else you just get attacked

43:33

off the top rope in

43:35

Blackjack. Are you even allowed to touch

43:37

your cards? Like, I think

43:40

they kind of discourage you even touching the

43:42

cards like you're allowed to signal, obviously, hit,

43:44

stay. But like a lot of times you

43:46

do. You I think you touch the cards.

43:48

I think that's on single deck. Oh,

43:51

OK. I was just asking. I don't I

43:53

don't know the ins and outs of

43:55

Blackjack. But typically, the the dealer

43:57

shows you flips your cards for you and the.

43:59

puts them out there. Right. You don't touch your

44:01

cards and collect. Right. That's

44:04

what I thought. Yeah. Baccarat. I have no

44:07

idea. I walk by it all the time

44:09

at MGM National Harbor. I don't know how

44:11

it's played. What I do know about it.

44:14

It's wildly popular. That place is gonna

44:16

be jumping to nightcakes because it's a

44:18

long weekend. I would think so. I

44:20

would hope so. Yeah. People

44:22

people going hard tonight. You think?

44:25

Yes. Tonight's probably a go hard night. Big

44:27

big night. Yeah. And why why so many

44:29

places have fireworks last night on the second

44:31

again. Our club had it. Columbia

44:34

had it. Why so many I don't I

44:36

don't quite they not want to compete with

44:38

like the downtown fireworks the way they plan

44:40

it. They do it a day or two

44:42

before the actual holiday. Wow. A lot of

44:44

places do it early now get it done.

44:46

Get it out of the way. I keep

44:49

sleeping on my hook up because I'm months

44:52

ago. You have a fireworks hookup? No. For

44:54

MGM National Harbor. I'm gonna go see the

44:56

Steve Trevino show next Friday night. I believe

44:59

it is. I wanted to

45:01

see him last year. He's fantastic. Comedian.

45:06

And our guy over there Mike. He

45:08

set me up with the dinner to Voltaggio

45:11

in March. But I don't think

45:13

I have tickets to the actual show. I got

45:15

to follow up with fire. He'll put him

45:18

at will call you'll be good. Like yeah,

45:20

yeah, you don't need to sweat it. Yeah,

45:22

I think one time we'll call like 10

45:24

minutes before he's gotten nervous. Yeah. Trust me.

45:27

I'm evolving down that road where we get

45:29

free tickets. But sometimes it comes in late

45:31

and you start getting a little nervous. I

45:33

because we're going with another couple. I think

45:35

I'm the most paranoid person in the world

45:38

about half. I love physical tickets. Yeah, the

45:40

fact that all of your tickets are now

45:42

going to your phone instead of a physical

45:44

ticket. It it offends

45:46

my sensibilities and I understand it's

45:49

got to do those splickeys into

45:51

your Apple. I understand it's technology.

45:53

But that's a technological

45:55

advance that I personally detest

45:58

and hate. I just

46:00

like having physical and handing

46:02

them to somebody. I've gotten used to it. I

46:05

used to have that same aversion. Yeah.

46:07

With the checks that I

46:09

received. Like I got a check the other

46:12

day from my insurance company. Yeah. Sometimes they

46:14

overcharge you or you change certain things. It's

46:16

like, oh, I have free money. It's always

46:18

like 50 bucks. But you know, like

46:20

they sent me 50 dollars. And

46:24

I used to feel like with a check I needed

46:26

to go into the bank. I didn't even like using

46:28

the ATM. Now I just take

46:31

a picture of that thing. It's so good.

46:33

Yes. It's such a good technology. Speaking of

46:35

found money, I I have

46:37

a bigger version of

46:39

found money in that my oldest son

46:42

has now moved out of state, which

46:44

means he has to now ensure

46:47

his car through North Carolina.

46:49

He can't be on my insurance

46:51

account, which knocked

46:54

my bill down for six months

46:56

by about eleven hundred dollars. Huge

46:58

eleven hundred dollars for one car

47:01

on my account. Telling you

47:03

the insurance is that eleven hundred

47:05

dollars for six months or eleven hundred for

47:07

a year months. Yeah, six months. I know my

47:09

insurance for the cars are a lot. Here's

47:12

what they're doing. They're

47:14

robbing us. Paul is what they're

47:16

doing. Everybody is. I mean, well,

47:19

I'm telling you, the the insurance premiums

47:22

are absurd. Yeah, I might. I might

47:24

start shopping around. It's probably a

47:26

feel like you've said that for a decade.

47:28

Probably an idle threat. I probably could do

47:30

it. You won't go see the general.

47:33

I probably I probably should shop around

47:35

because I could probably save a few

47:37

hundred bucks, but I'm probably

47:40

too late. Well,

47:43

you finally took care of your identity problem. Yeah,

47:45

I got that taken care of. So maybe you're

47:48

getting a role of actually doing things. Just

47:50

talking about it. I won't. Or maybe I'll just go

47:52

home and take a nap and then National

47:55

Harbor later. Oh, and that sounds so heavenly

47:57

right now. Well, it's it's a mortal. I'm

48:00

the big debate is do I take the

48:02

nap at home? Or

48:04

do I do I kick the can

48:06

down the road and take the hotel

48:08

nap? Well hotel naps good Are you

48:10

never wrong mate tonight? No wrong mates.

48:12

Thank God What just depends on

48:15

what he says? Thank God, but he allows

48:17

it so deep down. You like it the

48:19

last time doesn't like it the lights it

48:21

Arrates it I know the last time he

48:23

was there I booked him

48:26

a separate room not out of my own pocket I

48:28

just I just pulled a string or two. Yeah, so

48:31

he was Away. Yes need

48:33

him away. Yeah, I don't need him

48:35

in the same room as me overnight.

48:37

So yesterday we were debating the

48:41

workload for Washington

48:43

commanders running backs whether Brian Robinson was

48:45

gonna be the lead guy with more

48:47

carries versus versus Austin Eckler I think

48:49

the public is on my side JP

48:51

the public's on your side. Yes, we're

48:53

ultimately see what happens Um

48:57

Austin Eckler of course has said that

48:59

he's a guy who if you're a

49:02

fantasy football player, you should snag him

49:04

early Tiki

49:06

barber who works

49:09

for Odyssey Works

49:11

at WF a n in New York

49:13

Apparently has taken offense to some of

49:15

what Austin Eckler has been saying as

49:17

an old-school running back. Here's Tiki barber

49:19

on the fan I Said

49:22

Eckler said something the other day. It was so

49:25

discouraging So discouraging and

49:27

nothing to do with anything. It just it was discouraging

49:30

because he was asked about why the

49:33

gym Harbaugh led Chargers

49:35

weren't ideal for him or why it was why

49:37

did they moved on from him? And

49:40

you know what his answer was no, they want a guy who

49:42

can run the ball 300 times a season That

49:46

They want someone who can run the ball 300

49:49

times. So in other words, Eckler was saying he can't

49:52

do that Yes, but as a running back you should

49:54

go look at how many times I ran the

49:56

ball every hundred times So Eckler basically wasn't up

49:59

to the chat wall. He's just saying It's not

50:01

my game, right? It's not my game to be

50:03

like to, dude, you couldn't get

50:05

me off the field. That's a tough thing

50:07

for Echler to say when he's the one waving for

50:09

how much money he wants long term. I know. You

50:11

wanna be a bell cow or not? Be on the

50:13

field all the time, right? Don't be a liability on

50:15

third down. Catch the ball on the backfield. Truck

50:19

it through the offensive line 25 times a game, right?

50:23

You wanna get paid, be that. That's

50:25

what Christopher Caffrey does. That dude

50:27

has so many 100% participation games.

50:30

In his career, it makes no damn sense. I never

50:33

had 100% participation game. That

50:36

is play every game, every snap. I've

50:38

never done that. Chris McCaffrey's done it like

50:40

eight times. So you

50:43

got the Chris McCaffrey's of the world who make

50:45

$19 million a year. And

50:48

then you got these other guys who can't make

50:50

eight. And you wonder why. I'd

50:52

say it's a mentality. The mentality has

50:55

changed from organization standpoint. And we went

50:57

through this because of the statistics of

50:59

big plays, right? The running game has

51:01

a very small percentage of big plays.

51:03

The past game has a huge percentage

51:06

of big plays. And the easier way

51:08

to score, obviously, you increase your percentage

51:10

four times by having a big play.

51:13

That's one of it. The other thing is you just

51:15

gotta wanna be on the field. Right, right. I told

51:17

you this conversation we had at the Giants 100 event

51:19

the other day. They

51:21

were talking about how players

51:24

and teams are

51:27

giving football players maintenance

51:29

weeks. Right, with the

51:31

expanded schedule and everything. With the 17 games

51:34

and the intensity and the player

51:36

safety and the tracking. The tracking

51:38

of how much you've run in

51:40

a week and all this other

51:42

stuff that essentially there are like

51:46

maintenance weeks. And in my mind

51:49

that is anti-theatrical to

51:51

football. Crazy. To

51:53

think that I gotta save my body for next

51:55

week. This game doesn't

51:57

matter. Are you serious? That's-

52:00

Crazy and people get mad at me when I

52:02

talk about this the game being soft Well,

52:04

he's doing the old man been here is doing all

52:07

while we were tougher back in the day And look

52:09

he he was great player seasons with 300 plus carries

52:13

but that I Don't

52:15

think it's just Austin Eckler being allegedly

52:17

soft. It's just the way the game

52:19

has Transformed since he

52:22

stopped playing. I mean guess who has more

52:24

stop playing in 2006 Yeah,

52:26

that's almost 20 years ago. Guess who has

52:28

more career touchdowns than Tiki

52:30

Barber I'm gonna

52:32

guess Austin Eckler Austin Eckler already has

52:35

more career touchdowns, right? He he failed

52:37

to mention Tiki bar failed to mention

52:39

that in his tirade against Austin

52:42

Eckler Now Eckler's never had more

52:44

than 206 carries. It's a most

52:46

he's had that was in 2021 But

52:48

that's got 39 rushing touchdowns

52:51

and 30 Receiving touchdowns in

52:53

my Tiki in his career and in

52:55

my head I was

52:57

like Tiki's a borderline Hall of Famer 55

53:01

rushing touchdowns 12 receiving touchdowns.

53:03

That's it. I think it's less about the player

53:05

and just more about teams

53:07

and coaches are just smarter about

53:09

workloads that they're putting on players

53:12

like And Tiki Barber

53:14

somehow made it through 10 NFL seasons and good

53:16

for him to have that sort of longevity at

53:18

a spot where guys get nicked up all the

53:20

time, but Modern coaches

53:23

they don't want the running backs carrying the

53:25

ball 300 times now

53:27

there are some exceptions like Derek Henry always

53:29

has a huge workload. He's a freak he

53:33

Doesn't seem that susceptible to injury despite getting

53:35

20 plus carries per game McCaffrey

53:39

kind of the same thing though. He's had

53:41

a more checkered injury history Like they don't

53:43

want guys taking on this huge workload. They're

53:45

splitting the load Amongst two

53:47

sometimes three running backs, especially when Eckler listen Tiki

53:50

could do a little of everything obviously But I

53:52

mean Eckler caught 107 balls in year but 92

53:54

balls one year about 70 balls another year Last

54:00

year was heard he called 51 balls. I

54:03

had his third most carries last year. So I

54:06

listen I think There's

54:08

definitely a little stigma of sort of the modern

54:10

athlete with with Eckler versus more of the old-school

54:12

guys like Tiki and Tiki Was a great player.

54:15

No doubt and Eckler's

54:18

also 59

54:20

200 pounds. Well, they're pretty similar in build. Okay, he

54:22

might be a little bit bigger Somewhere

54:25

like are you really gonna give a

54:27

5 9 200 pound running back? 350

54:31

carries in a season. Yeah, well, let's say most teams don't

54:33

do that. Yeah, most teams run multiple

54:35

backs now It's just different game Just

54:38

a different game and very Sanders wasn't exactly tall

54:40

was he? No, no, no, but

54:42

he was a tank But he played he played

54:45

in a different era even than Tiki Barber

54:47

Yeah, like earlier era where they just didn't

54:50

care about how many you know carries of

54:52

running back I think what he's saying and

54:54

there's look I think there's

54:56

some truth to it. It's the mentality

54:58

Yeah, he wants football players that mentality

55:00

of I want the ball. I want

55:02

to be on the field That's

55:04

why I was pointing to McCaffrey not

55:07

necessarily about his carries, but that he's

55:09

on the field on every down look

55:11

You think Austin Eckler doesn't want to be on

55:14

the field and doesn't want to make big plays

55:16

But he knows his body at this point at

55:18

29 with the punishment. It's taken that He's

55:21

probably a more effective player if he gets 12 to 15

55:24

total touches per game Well, as opposed to

55:26

22 to 25 if Eckler ends

55:28

up returning at all to sort of previous

55:30

form Yeah, and has a major impact that's

55:33

gonna be one of the most significant offseason

55:35

acquisitions the most slept on Offseason

55:37

acquisitions and especially because of the money he wound

55:39

up really not getting yeah inside a big deal

55:41

I got like 5 million, right, which is fine,

55:43

but that's not big money He's

55:46

gonna if he if he ends up performing kind of

55:49

you know stays healthy and reverts It's

55:51

gonna be a huge I mean if he

55:53

can give the commanders like let's

55:56

say 850

55:58

to 900 total yards

56:01

rushing and receiving and seven

56:03

or eight touchdowns huge

56:06

signing great signing by Adam

56:08

Peters and company he had over a thousand

56:10

total last year the year before that he

56:12

had 1600 total year behind that

56:14

he had 1500 total I mean

56:16

I'm not gonna put him on that that sort

56:18

of stratosphere of numbers because I just don't think

56:21

he's gonna have as big a role here as

56:23

he did with the Chargers but if

56:26

he gives you 900 total yards at eight touchdowns

56:28

you take that in tandem with whatever Brian

56:31

Robinson does I did again I think it's

56:33

a reasonable to assume that and I do

56:35

think that Roberts is a little bit underwhelming

56:38

and as the games progress you're

56:41

gonna see Echler get the ball get more

56:43

touches well I can tell you

56:45

this there are

56:47

a few months ago obviously till fantasy drafts really

56:49

ramp up but in my best ball long draft

56:52

I got him in the 11th round this

56:54

year last year he was going in the first

56:57

round I was just the

57:00

big Doug okay what's the Douglas

57:02

radio show whatever he's a really

57:04

nice guy very nice he

57:06

asked me to be in his best ball draft I didn't

57:08

know what the hell it is what did you say what

57:10

was your response oh what is that and

57:14

then I remember we talked about it

57:16

so the deal is remind

57:18

me it's just you draft players and I never

57:20

have to start a lineup they just all start

57:22

all you do is draft them and then you

57:24

what happens when they get hurt then you don't

57:26

accrue stats for them any longer okay

57:29

take your best out think of it as

57:31

a best ball golf tournament yeah and apply

57:33

that to fantasy football so if there's a

57:35

run on my running backs to get hurt

57:37

I'm just doomed then you're in real trouble

57:39

yeah but you there's no more acquisitions that's

57:41

draft is done that is your lineup so

57:43

throughout the whole season is kind of the

57:45

strategy and then to take that into account

57:47

and take guys that tend to be more

57:49

healthy or no you don't

57:52

do that I don't know like I don't I

57:54

don't know if that's the correct approach drive

57:56

can't get done is that you don't the best ball

57:58

draft no I hate that I

58:00

would like the weekly match name. What's the

58:03

point if you're not managing the details of

58:05

the team? I can do both just managing

58:07

a much like I can do tennis and

58:09

pickleball I can do best ball and I

58:11

can redraft I'm a notorious tinkerer

58:13

But I can also draft a team and

58:15

just watch and see what they do and

58:17

not not lay a finger on them all

58:19

Right, he's long zero draft prep by me.

58:21

Yes. Give me top three picks. I should

58:23

be targeting in this McCaffrey

58:26

one McCaffrey's the no-brainer run Then

58:29

you're probably gonna go like I know

58:31

Justin Jefferson has kind of slipped out of the top

58:33

two or three Probably gonna do

58:35

Christian McCaffrey either Breece

58:38

Hall or Bijon Robinson probably two and

58:41

then then you're gonna stick a wide

58:43

out there at number three Probably CD lamb or

58:45

Tyree kill you're guessing are you

58:47

top some some semblance of your top? Do you

58:50

have a draft board once you give me your

58:52

draft To

58:54

punch up Used

58:57

to do all of these used to do mock

58:59

drafts for fantasy I still do mock

59:01

drafts for fantasy you do yes Not

59:04

I'm not on pen and paper

59:06

in a notebook. It was in your brain Easy

59:11

as fun a NFL mock draft simulator

59:13

online just like this snap

59:15

your fingers right there right there your fingertips

59:17

in a Best ball league I

59:19

guess it all depends on the scoring. How about

59:22

there's a quarterback? Um,

59:24

I mean three pounds on your scoring.

59:27

I always think that they're a little undervalued I

59:31

mean you're just struggling to see you do need those toothpicks

59:33

for your eye Best

59:41

ball right now you need rest ball Is

59:44

that you back from Vegas? Okay,

59:48

good. Uh, you know what? I will

59:50

I will give you some tools and resources that

59:52

help Thank you

59:54

gotta take a break eight hundred six

59:56

three six one. Oh six seven coming

59:59

up next The

1:00:01

Kevin Costner movie flopped. Is there

1:00:03

a reason why can we handle

1:00:05

long movies and real cinema anymore?

1:00:08

So Ed Kevin McCarthy, BDK

1:00:10

on the show on Friday, and

1:00:13

he gave his review of Horizon and

1:00:15

American Saga, which we learned was part

1:00:17

one of four, Kevin Costner's pet

1:00:20

project that apparently he's been trying

1:00:22

to get done since 1988, which

1:00:25

is the year we graduated from high school. That goes

1:00:27

back a long way. I still can't believe

1:00:29

he's using like the

1:00:31

mortgage of one of his houses collateral to

1:00:33

pay for it. That

1:00:35

seems like a wackadoo idea. So part

1:00:38

one of the movie came out on

1:00:40

Friday. I guess. And it only made

1:00:42

$11 million. And

1:00:46

one of the stars of the movie is

1:00:49

Michael Rooker. And

1:00:52

he's upset that

1:00:54

the movie, which if I

1:00:56

recall Kevin's description

1:00:58

of the movie, I mean, he gave it

1:01:00

a two out of five, which, you know,

1:01:02

Kevin is usually generous. Give it a dreadful

1:01:05

score. Yes. I believe he said

1:01:07

something like the movie goes nowhere. He doesn't even

1:01:09

really know what the plot was, that

1:01:11

it was a set up. So

1:01:13

181 minute running time. All

1:01:18

right. That's over three hours. And

1:01:22

it's not necessarily a great plot.

1:01:26

To me, that's a big reason why it didn't

1:01:29

do well. But what Michael Rooker said, do

1:01:32

we have the audio? We don't

1:01:34

have the audio. I have the quote. He

1:01:36

says, it's real cinema folks. So

1:01:38

be prepared. We ain't used to

1:01:40

that S. We're used to 90 minute movies. Everything

1:01:43

is 90 minutes. Give me a break. Get over

1:01:45

that S. Let's watch a movie that actually tells

1:01:47

a story where you learn about people and grow

1:01:49

to like them or hate them. It's not all

1:01:52

fast and cut, cut, cut, cut. And

1:01:55

he says that it's a tick

1:01:57

tockified audience. I mean, it's definitely

1:01:59

true. Maybe something. You agree with that totally?

1:02:02

I mean, I don't know totally, but to a

1:02:04

large extent, yeah. If a movie is really good

1:02:06

and it's three hours long, I'm

1:02:09

cool to sit through it. But if

1:02:11

it's a three hour bore fest and

1:02:13

nothing is happening and the movie kind

1:02:16

of sucks, dude, nobody's going

1:02:18

to want to watch it first. Oh, well, I

1:02:22

would say most

1:02:24

moviegoers are

1:02:27

going to grab their phone and just check and

1:02:29

see what's going on. You know what I mean? Like

1:02:31

you're just at the first wall, whatever it is. It's

1:02:33

different for every person. You're just a bet. If

1:02:35

you start grabbing your phone at the first at

1:02:38

the first, the first wall, it's just how you

1:02:40

are. It's just if you do that, if

1:02:43

there's a wall, yeah, you whip out your

1:02:45

phone and you illuminate it out. It's right

1:02:47

on the cup holder. You illuminate the entire

1:02:49

theater. It's the biggest no no

1:02:52

in all of moviegoers. I think it's overhyped.

1:02:54

I put it down there. I mean, I

1:02:57

put it by my waist. It's not

1:02:59

up here, but yeah. Yeah, it's I

1:03:01

know it. Everybody

1:03:03

does it. No, not everybody.

1:03:06

I don't know. I don't check.

1:03:08

Like you could go two hours and

1:03:10

be bored and not check your pocket. And hopefully

1:03:13

you're not bored. I check it when I come

1:03:15

out. So I said the law. OK,

1:03:18

the law, everyone's checking their phones. What I want to say,

1:03:20

800 6361067. If

1:03:23

you want to chime in. This

1:03:25

movie struggled. Maybe

1:03:27

a little bit because of the

1:03:29

three hour time. But it's also

1:03:31

a Western and it's getting

1:03:34

bad reviews. Yeah, that's in my opinion, why

1:03:36

it struggles, because I do think three

1:03:38

hours is a long time, but it doesn't have to

1:03:40

be 90 minutes. I just looked up a movie that

1:03:42

I think we all liked. The

1:03:44

Last Mission Impossible movie. Now, that's extreme

1:03:47

because it's action. Right. That was 163

1:03:49

minutes. So it's less

1:03:51

than 20 minutes shorter than this

1:03:53

Western. If Tom Cruise

1:03:55

puts out a Mission Impossible in three hours,

1:03:58

it's still going to get in. you

1:04:00

know hundreds of millions of dollars. Right.

1:04:02

Well I think his point is the

1:04:04

only movies that do

1:04:06

well are goofy blockbusters like that,

1:04:09

a lot of action, fast-paced stuff, but here's

1:04:11

the counterpoint to what he said. The

1:04:14

biggest movie of last year is

1:04:17

in the same category as Horizon. Right.

1:04:20

Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer. Yeah. It was carried

1:04:22

by Gen Z people who were

1:04:24

interested in a historical movie that

1:04:26

was three hours long. Right. You

1:04:28

just didn't make a good movie. Yeah. The

1:04:30

movie is substandard. Like he doesn't want to

1:04:32

say that because Kevin, you know, he wants

1:04:34

to be in the next, you know, two

1:04:36

or three or four versions

1:04:39

of Horizon, but you

1:04:42

can't come out and say, well the movie kind

1:04:44

of sucked. If you put out a

1:04:46

good three-hour movie, people flock to

1:04:48

theaters. If it's a dud, they're gonna

1:04:50

stay away in droves. You saw Oppenheimer.

1:04:53

Yes. Did it feel long? Didn't

1:04:56

feel long to me. I don't know. I don't know if I would

1:04:58

go see it again. I'm not Kevin

1:05:00

McCarthy. I'm not gonna see it 15 times in

1:05:02

the theater, but I

1:05:05

was never bored by it. To

1:05:08

me, that's just some of these

1:05:10

movies are just boring. They're just boring

1:05:12

and it's because of how we're programmed.

1:05:15

I actually agree with the

1:05:17

general sentiment of what... But there's nothing

1:05:19

so important happening on my phone unless

1:05:22

somebody like in my immediate family passes

1:05:24

away. It's not that it's so important.

1:05:26

Yeah. It's just your board. It's

1:05:29

just we're used to it. Yeah, I just don't

1:05:31

I don't get that bored in the movie theater.

1:05:33

I stuff my phone in my pocket. I pull

1:05:35

it out as I'm exiting unless

1:05:38

somebody's calling me a hundred times and I feel like

1:05:40

I need to pick up the phone. I know. Yeah,

1:05:42

I've never not looked at my phone during a movie

1:05:45

at some point. They're all

1:05:47

boring to me. It drives me insane. Even during

1:05:49

a quick movie, go out into the other room.

1:05:51

It doesn't stop bothering anybody. Like if you see

1:05:53

it or I got to there's like nine people

1:05:55

in the theater. It's not trust me. It isn't

1:05:57

bothering anybody. Even during a movie like that. I'm

1:05:59

team dratted even during a movie like annoying but

1:06:01

stop bothering anyone even during a movie like mission

1:06:03

impossible You gotta make your phone maybe not if

1:06:05

it's if it's keeping me on the edge of

1:06:07

my seat But as

1:06:09

soon as there's some sort of love story and

1:06:11

it's a very predictable and whatever It's

1:06:15

boring straight to the phone. Yeah, we'll see what's going

1:06:17

on Yeah,

1:06:19

there's nothing going on that you need

1:06:21

to know of there's nothing These

1:06:23

that quick of attention I need to

1:06:25

know I'm bored. It's

1:06:28

why cakes holds the phone at the urinal

1:06:31

and he's not the only one I

1:06:33

do do that That's true Yeah But

1:06:35

people do it all the time that's more socially

1:06:37

acceptable than whipping out your phone in the middle

1:06:40

of the I would argue It's a little grosser

1:06:43

It may be grosser, but the movie

1:06:45

theater Specifically will have an

1:06:48

ad right before the movie starts and it says put

1:06:50

away your phone Because it

1:06:52

annoys people I understand it's it's it's

1:06:54

stupid. That's a stupid complaint I've never

1:06:56

had anybody bother me with their phone

1:06:58

I've never been bothered by the bothered

1:07:00

plenty both by the light and sometimes

1:07:02

people have their audio up on their

1:07:04

phone or they That's

1:07:07

crazy. Well, it's kind of it's abstract. It's

1:07:09

distracting. Yeah, it's never been distracted

1:07:12

by another person. Well, that's you I'm talking

1:07:14

about me. Yeah, I'm distracted by the globe

1:07:16

Yeah Distracted in mind because I'm

1:07:18

in a theater with like nine people I'm

1:07:20

telling if I'm sitting behind if I'm sitting

1:07:22

behind you okay, and you whip out your

1:07:24

phone. Yeah, I find it distracting Yeah, yeah,

1:07:26

I don't think you would even know I'm

1:07:28

telling you I would notice I'm

1:07:31

telling you you would I'm telling you you would you know more

1:07:33

about me than I know more about me No, I'm telling you

1:07:35

you wouldn't because it's just in front of my chest. You wouldn't

1:07:37

notice it. I would notice it

1:07:40

Yeah, I'll notice it too. Just remember

1:07:42

the EB when we went to

1:07:44

spring training. We dubbed it pickling He

1:07:47

was so desperate to look at his phone Like

1:07:51

90 degrees like a jacket so I could

1:07:53

stare at his phone during

1:07:55

a baseball game not desperate bored Bored

1:08:00

Alright, let's go to the phones. 800-636-10670, you wanna chime in. I'm

1:08:04

with you, Drab. I think that if you do a good movie,

1:08:07

it can be three hours. This

1:08:09

Western stinks. If it was,

1:08:11

what's the best Western, like in the

1:08:14

last 30 years? Unforgiven? People

1:08:16

like that, or wide-erp?

1:08:20

Here's a movie that probably came close to three

1:08:22

hours in running time, that if I went to

1:08:24

the theater, I'm riveted by it. Zero Dark

1:08:26

Thirty. You know why? It's a riveting

1:08:28

story. It was well done. It

1:08:31

wasn't a boar fest like Apparently Horizon is.

1:08:34

If the movie's good enough and captures your

1:08:36

imagination, people can sit still for two and

1:08:39

a half hours, three hours, and pay attention

1:08:41

to it. Rare. Turns out Kevin Costner just

1:08:43

made a bad movie. It's rare. You gotta

1:08:45

have a great movie to not lose your

1:08:47

attention. Alright, who's up? Go

1:08:50

to James in Arlington. James, what's up? What's

1:08:52

up, James? Hey, good

1:08:54

morning, junkies. What's up? I

1:08:57

just wanna say I've never

1:08:59

shied away from lengthy movies

1:09:01

like everyone else does in

1:09:04

today's generation and audience.

1:09:07

Everyone complains about movies that break

1:09:09

two hours. If

1:09:13

it's a good movie, it'd put me in there for three

1:09:16

and a half. But whatever's

1:09:18

going on with Horizon, which I am looking

1:09:20

forward to, I just haven't gotten to it

1:09:22

yet. I

1:09:24

love Westerns. I don't care that it's three hours,

1:09:27

but as long as it keeps, that

1:09:29

the story is riveting and it

1:09:32

keeps me glued. So

1:09:34

some of my favorite movies are three hour plus

1:09:36

movies or three hours, you know, Malcolm

1:09:38

X, Heat, Godfather

1:09:41

2. So most great movies

1:09:43

are lengthy, Lord of the

1:09:46

Rings trilogy, Oppenheimer,

1:09:48

Titanic, your biggest

1:09:50

Avengers in-game, three

1:09:52

hours. And these are

1:09:54

some of the biggest movies that

1:09:57

hit the box office. So I

1:09:59

guess it's... If quality is good, people

1:10:02

will come out and see it. If

1:10:05

you build it, they will come. Totally agree. That

1:10:08

that's a movie. I know

1:10:11

I haven't seen the start to finish. Which

1:10:13

one? The whole of my dreams. Oh,

1:10:17

did you see The Irishman? Remember,

1:10:19

that's where they age. De Niro. Did

1:10:21

see The Irishman. Yes, that was three hours

1:10:23

and 29 minutes. Yeah, that one. That

1:10:25

one could have been about two hours and 29 minutes. They

1:10:27

could have trimmed some of the facts. You would have picked

1:10:29

up your phone. From what I remember.

1:10:32

Go to Brandon in Kensington. Brandon, what's up,

1:10:34

buddy? What's up, guys?

1:10:37

Speaking of Len from the other day, I

1:10:39

saw him late last night jogging

1:10:42

towards Olney again. You

1:10:45

mean the Walker? The Montgomery County Walker. Yeah,

1:10:47

he doesn't really have a name. His name

1:10:49

is the MOCO Walker. As far as

1:10:51

as far as he's on the team. He

1:10:54

lost a lot of weight, man. I wonder, I hope he's

1:10:56

OK. Yeah, I hope he's all

1:10:58

right. So my friends and I,

1:11:00

three of us, Big Donks, went to

1:11:03

this to the Western movies the other day, and it was

1:11:05

so boring. I was checking my phone. I

1:11:07

checked it twice. I'm guilty. Yeah,

1:11:10

of course. It was I'm watching

1:11:12

pickleball highlights. So it's more fun.

1:11:14

You're us picking on Pickler's bad

1:11:16

name. You were really bored. That's

1:11:19

the movie's fault. Because because here's a movie.

1:11:22

I agree with that. Here's a movie which

1:11:24

I think you liked back in

1:11:26

the day. Yeah. Three hours

1:11:28

and nine minutes. Now, this is before there

1:11:30

were cell phones when it came out. 1991

1:11:32

JFK. I

1:11:35

thought that was that was real. I

1:11:37

thought that was riveting. Yeah. Oliver

1:11:40

Stone made a good movie and

1:11:43

it probably flew by. If you make a great

1:11:45

movie and you could keep me locked in, of

1:11:47

course. I'm not going to pick up my wife

1:11:49

of Wall Street. Three hours. Good,

1:11:52

nice cocaine scenes and boobies and

1:11:54

jugs and cheeks. That's

1:11:56

what I remember for that movie. I bet you were picking

1:11:58

up your phone during those scenes. Oh,

1:12:00

those are good. I'm going to guarantee that.

1:12:02

Right. Yeah, I

1:12:04

think if you do a good movie, it's

1:12:06

hard. That's a whole of my game that I haven't seen Oppenheimer.

1:12:08

I don't know why I haven't seen it. Dude,

1:12:11

people don't. I mean. I

1:12:14

think there's a reason why YouTube shorts is now

1:12:16

a thing, right? People just want

1:12:18

shorter and shorter content. I

1:12:20

tend to agree with the premise. Yeah,

1:12:22

but if you have

1:12:25

a really good quality show, like

1:12:27

we've all been to now some seasons have been

1:12:29

as good. True Detective. That's a

1:12:31

long. It's not a movie. It's a TV show, but

1:12:33

it's a long version. It's almost like about a show.

1:12:35

What was the show you talked about, Drab? Because True

1:12:37

Detective for me, I had to really lock in. It

1:12:40

was very hard for me to watch that show because

1:12:42

you had to really be concentrating to catch all of

1:12:44

the stuff that was going on. But what was the

1:12:46

show where you said you had to watch it like

1:12:48

three times to start it or it wasn't

1:12:50

True Detective. It was something and it was

1:12:52

kind of slow. Remember, you mentioned it like

1:12:55

two, three weeks ago. Mm.

1:12:57

Can't remember what it was. True Detective the last

1:13:00

season was the same way. Now, look, that's different

1:13:02

for me. I'm sitting on my couch. I'm in

1:13:04

the privacy of my home. There's no there's no

1:13:06

etiquette. I can look at my phone. Right. You

1:13:08

can do whatever. Movies is different. There's a people

1:13:10

aren't around me. There's a code. There's a code.

1:13:13

When you go to the movies, there might be

1:13:15

someone eight feet over there in

1:13:17

another row. But if you were if you

1:13:19

were in a 75 percent full theater, would

1:13:21

you look at your phone? I

1:13:23

would probably try to shield it so it

1:13:25

didn't bother people. Yeah, it's just inconsiderate. It's

1:13:27

on board. You you you would

1:13:29

you would you would you would concede. I

1:13:32

don't want to. You concede it's inconsiderate. No, I

1:13:34

would not. There's a way to do it. So

1:13:37

Faldez is right behind you and he hates it. It's

1:13:39

not inconsiderate. I would try to find a way to

1:13:41

do it. And I said, hey, can you do you

1:13:44

mind just putting your phone away or go? I would

1:13:46

do it, of course. Yeah, you

1:13:48

look at my big muscles. I'd rather you. You're

1:13:50

looking in the movie and consider it. Even if

1:13:52

you're a frail old lady. What

1:13:55

talking is inconsiderate. Yes. Talking more.

1:13:57

It's more inconsiderate. than whipping out

1:13:59

your phone. Yes. But they're close.

1:14:02

Similar, right. I just think it's overhyped. It's

1:14:06

not like you're in a perfectly pitch black

1:14:08

theater. It's a lot going on. It's

1:14:10

pretty dark. Are

1:14:12

you turning your brightness all the way down? I

1:14:15

don't know. No chance. That's a no. That's

1:14:17

officially a no, grab. Do I go into a theater and

1:14:19

turn the brightness down on my phone? You tell me when

1:14:22

you go to a theater. I don't make it a habit.

1:14:24

And someone whips out their phone and it's bright and they're

1:14:26

texting their friend. That doesn't really... Well, I don't really see

1:14:28

that happen. Yet enough. I

1:14:31

mean, I think I think I'm fairly adept at checking

1:14:33

my phone without bothering people, but you guys think I'm

1:14:35

not, but okay. Cake's gone with

1:14:37

the wind three hours and 58 minutes. That's

1:14:40

a long movie. I don't think anybody could watch

1:14:42

that. I have not seen that. It's

1:14:44

hard, man. Hey, fellas. Bank

1:15:08

Welcome back. Chucky's company live on 106.7 The

1:15:11

Fan and the team 980. Cake's, I got

1:15:13

a question. So we're doing the announcing

1:15:16

bit on Sunday at Wolf

1:15:18

Trap. Correct. What

1:15:22

do you wear? Uh, that's a

1:15:24

great question. Jeans and a t-shirt. Yeah. Like

1:15:26

you're going to a concert. I think

1:15:28

I'm going to wear shorts, I suppose. A bit of

1:15:30

shorts. Yeah. Probably big baggy

1:15:33

shorts. I'll try to keep

1:15:35

them not so baggy. Like the last time I

1:15:37

was at Wolf Trap was for cargo shorts. The

1:15:39

last time I was at Wolf Trap was for

1:15:41

a kids bop concert. Okay. I'm going to a

1:15:43

kids bop concert in August. All right. Then it's

1:15:45

an outdoor venue. You're telling me it's going to

1:15:48

be sweltering. I haven't looked

1:15:50

at Sunday's forecast, but I

1:15:52

know that tomorrow and

1:15:54

the following day, very hot.

1:15:57

I don't know about Sunday yet. I'll have to look.

1:16:00

I'll have to look off into the distance. I

1:16:02

feel like it hasn't rained as much.

1:16:04

Like we've been a bit, Oh, it's dry. I

1:16:06

had the sprinkler out on for my lawn last

1:16:08

night for like an hour and a half. Right.

1:16:12

Sure my water bill's gonna be high. Water. Ever

1:16:15

since I had like a leak in a

1:16:17

basement toilet or just the toilet was running.

1:16:20

You had a huge water bill. Oh, I had

1:16:22

a massive water bill. Like four or five years

1:16:24

ago, I opened up my water

1:16:26

bill expecting, you know, like standard. What's

1:16:29

standard? It was like

1:16:31

200, 250 for like a three

1:16:33

or six month period. Right. And

1:16:35

you know, I opened it up. It's like $1,100. Right.

1:16:39

Did you have to pay it in full? Yeah.

1:16:42

Or did you negotiate it down? I mean, how

1:16:45

can you negotiate it down? I didn't lose the

1:16:47

water. I was a bit stupid and didn't realize

1:16:49

the toilet in my basement was just continuously running.

1:16:52

And I just. The toilet running man. Wow.

1:16:55

I had to pay the piper. I had to just bite the

1:16:57

bullet and pay. You can't go

1:16:59

to the water company to say, I didn't use

1:17:01

the water. They're like, uh, yeah, you did. We

1:17:03

have a meter that shows how much you're using

1:17:05

golf. Courses can definitely use

1:17:07

water. Right. If you're out there, you can see

1:17:09

it. They might get it.

1:17:11

If you look at like the next

1:17:13

two weeks, it looks like afternoon thunderstorms,

1:17:16

like starting Thursday, almost every day. Right.

1:17:18

Well, it's probably just cause it's so hot. Oh,

1:17:21

sure. But we need it. We

1:17:24

need it. Like I said, I used a sprinkle last

1:17:26

night cause grass looking a little yellow. Sure.

1:17:29

But the good, the positive side, E.B. knows this

1:17:31

when we ran a lawn mowing company. At

1:17:34

this point, the grass really doesn't grow. So

1:17:36

you don't have to go out and mow the lawn

1:17:38

that often. Yeah, it's great. Kind of killed our business.

1:17:40

Yeah. E.B. and I, we had

1:17:43

a lawn mowing. We didn't want business. Yeah,

1:17:45

like in June, we were, you know, mowing

1:17:47

them once a week, got to

1:17:49

late July. Oh, no. Our

1:17:51

10 lawns didn't need any work. They don't,

1:17:54

they don't care. They show up every week.

1:17:56

Every week, like clockwork every Tuesday. Even if

1:17:58

the grass isn't growing. Doesn't. matter. They

1:18:00

just zoom around and they probably just pummel

1:18:02

your grass. Right. They're done in the backyard

1:18:05

in literally six minutes. All right. So let

1:18:07

me never tell them to trim the tree.

1:18:10

Like that's not going to happen. I

1:18:12

know, but he's got people right there. Eventually

1:18:15

I may have it trimmed down, but I

1:18:17

was just right now. It's just it's just

1:18:19

growing wild. So last night,

1:18:21

Vin kept telling me he wanted to watch

1:18:23

the hard knocks premiere. Right. Because I was

1:18:25

disappointed by the way, Vin didn't wear Crocs

1:18:27

in here. Like all the Crocs talk of

1:18:29

him. Let me just tell you, I was

1:18:31

shocked. You think it got

1:18:33

into his brain? He's like, you know what? People just

1:18:36

know me for wearing Crocs all the time. I'm going

1:18:38

to shake it up. He's been taking that abuse for

1:18:40

like five years. So I don't understand it. You know

1:18:42

what? He reached his breaking point. It

1:18:44

stunned me. I don't think believe me. I don't think

1:18:46

it's over. OK. It was a it was a one

1:18:48

off. It was a one off. OK. But he kept

1:18:50

saying he won and I don't have Max anymore. OK.

1:18:52

So we couldn't watch it last night. We tried to

1:18:54

get his son to give him the password for it.

1:18:57

We couldn't figure it out. I didn't watch the whole

1:18:59

episode because everyone's raving about it. It was so good.

1:19:01

Yeah. The first 20 minutes. And I was like,

1:19:03

I have to go to bat to have some discipline. Just

1:19:06

watching Joe Shane, you know,

1:19:08

like his rise through just being

1:19:10

a grunt starting off with the Panthers, like

1:19:12

in the early 2000s, ascending to become the

1:19:14

GM of the Giants. It's like a lifelong

1:19:16

dream. Now he's got to hold on to

1:19:18

his job and hope Daniel Jones. See the

1:19:20

guy total flop. He's the guy that's talking

1:19:22

about Daniel Jones and about how like even

1:19:25

Pat Mahomes would struggle behind that line. Correct.

1:19:27

When he's talking with his assistant, Jim, to

1:19:29

me, just from watching that 20 minutes, the

1:19:32

off season version is so much better than the

1:19:34

training camp version. Yeah, I think I agree with

1:19:36

you that, you know how you said like Peacock,

1:19:38

they have all these specials and it ends up

1:19:41

being like two, three dollars a month or whatever.

1:19:43

Like it's nothing. What is this? Max have a

1:19:45

special like that. I might just just that just

1:19:47

the max is like 15 bucks. Just

1:19:50

the scene when they're talking in the room,

1:19:52

they're in their war room and they're discussing

1:19:54

what they're going to do at running back

1:19:56

if and when Saquon leaves and they're just

1:19:59

going through. played

1:24:00

two games for the Nationals. But joining us right now,

1:24:23

Morning, guys. Happy third. Yeah, happy

1:24:25

third. And it's your first call

1:24:27

from Farmville, correct? It

1:24:29

is. I am sitting on the

1:24:31

porch of the Airbnb house where we're staying

1:24:34

for the month of July. It's a beautiful

1:24:36

morning. And I'm glad to have a

1:24:38

chance to talk to you guys since we're

1:24:40

not going to talk Friday this week. Right. So

1:24:42

wait a second. So your place

1:24:44

is not ready for another month. Correct. We

1:24:46

won't close on it till July 31. We

1:24:51

found this Airbnb. It's really a

1:24:53

nice house. And

1:24:55

we're staying here for the month of July. Do

1:24:57

you have a ton of crap that you got

1:24:59

to move? Like at this point in your life,

1:25:01

I got to imagine you've accumulated so much crap.

1:25:03

Big yard sale incoming? Well,

1:25:06

Sunday, which was the day we actually

1:25:08

moved when we moved out of the

1:25:10

rental house where we'd been and came

1:25:12

down here, was one of the

1:25:14

worst days of my life, sort of a

1:25:17

tragedy happening. It took eight

1:25:19

hours for the movers to get all the stuff into

1:25:21

the truck. And even then, they didn't fill it. They

1:25:23

actually had to go back again yesterday. And

1:25:27

then by the time we left, we drove

1:25:29

right into that monsoon that

1:25:31

happened. Normally, it takes a little under three hours

1:25:33

to get here from DC. It

1:25:36

took 4 and 1.5. It

1:25:39

was a long, long, long, long day. And

1:25:41

just now sort of catching up on feeling

1:25:44

like a normal person again. I

1:25:47

don't envy you, man. And we still have to

1:25:49

move in. You're right. We still have to move in

1:25:51

on the 1st of August into what will be our

1:25:54

home. So do you have, like, is

1:25:56

all your stuff in storage or pods? Yes,

1:25:58

everything is in storage. OK. Yeah,

1:26:01

everything except you know necessities that we took

1:26:03

in the car right? Well, oh my god,

1:26:05

what a pain Moving

1:26:09

moving is a pain for anybody. Yes. It's

1:26:11

enough to keep you in your house This

1:26:15

is true I

1:26:17

have a good friend Keith drum who I've

1:26:19

probably mentioned before Was

1:26:22

a sports writer and then became an NBA scout

1:26:24

who's lived in the same house in Chapel Hill

1:26:26

since he since 1973 And

1:26:29

then he said he'll tell you one of the reasons

1:26:31

he's never tried to move or get a bigger house

1:26:33

or whatever He and his wife Barbie is

1:26:35

because of how hard it is to

1:26:38

move He's got so much equity in that house if he's

1:26:40

been there since 1973. Oh god. Yes I

1:26:43

mean, yeah, they did they obviously they have

1:26:45

no mortgage less long ago. That's the dream

1:26:49

All right. So a lot of little things kind of going

1:26:51

on Let's just start first of all with the news that

1:26:53

I saw this morning. I'm sure came out last night, but

1:26:55

I was kind of Somewhat

1:26:57

surprised by it that the Lakers

1:26:59

announced that they're giving brawny a

1:27:02

guaranteed contract multi-year guaranteed contract And

1:27:05

listen again, I feel sympathy for brawny,

1:27:07

you know, he didn't create

1:27:09

the situation himself I can't help it

1:27:11

was father is But man

1:27:13

how many 56 picks

1:27:16

overall get multi-year guaranteed deals before

1:27:18

camps even started i'm i'm thinking

1:27:20

zero I mean, I don't know

1:27:23

right and how many kids who played one year in

1:27:25

college and average five points a game Uh

1:27:28

get drafted at all. Well more than ever

1:27:30

that it's it's changed Yeah,

1:27:33

yeah, you're right Kentucky kids, you know

1:27:36

wizards drafted a guy who was averaging seven Who

1:27:39

did the wizards? Yeah,

1:27:41

no, you're you're good point. Yeah,

1:27:43

but obviously he's going to bj

1:27:46

is going to is being treated

1:27:48

And is going to be treated

1:27:50

differently Uh than your

1:27:52

typical rookie because of who his father

1:27:54

is we we all know that he

1:27:56

knows that um, and In

1:27:58

the end it's going to come down to the

1:28:00

simple question can he play? I mean he said

1:28:03

multi-year contract, well good for him, but if

1:28:05

he got caught in during summer summer,

1:28:07

would he be in trouble financially? No.

1:28:11

So the guaranteed

1:28:13

contract I think is a way for the

1:28:17

Lakers to say this was not a vanity pick,

1:28:19

this was not a LeBron James's son pick, we

1:28:21

picked him because we think he can be a

1:28:23

good player, whether that'll turn out to be true,

1:28:25

we don't know. I think

1:28:28

his summer league debuts this weekend. Yeah

1:28:30

in the California league or something. JP threw

1:28:33

out there, I know you're not an NBA

1:28:35

guy, so it's kind of not a great

1:28:37

question for you, but is the NBA off

1:28:40

season almost better now than the NBA

1:28:42

regular season? Like it's just so you know

1:28:45

kind of lackluster guys you know dogging it, they're

1:28:47

scoring 150 points a game each

1:28:49

team. In the off season though

1:28:51

now it's kind of more interesting with the trades and

1:28:53

the draft and I don't know something

1:28:56

about it. I wouldn't use

1:28:58

the word better, I

1:29:00

would use the word different, it's different than

1:29:02

it used to be. I remember going to

1:29:05

the one summer league the

1:29:07

NBA had in Los Angeles at Loyola

1:29:09

Marymount years and years and years ago

1:29:11

and it was kind of cool. You

1:29:14

paid five bucks to get in, there

1:29:16

was almost no media, the guys who

1:29:18

were playing, we're in many

1:29:20

cases guys you'd heard of from their

1:29:22

college careers and boy they

1:29:24

were playing hard because they were playing for their

1:29:27

lives and I think

1:29:29

we sat in the second serve row. I

1:29:31

didn't even go as media, we just might

1:29:33

keep drumming my buddy, we went as fans,

1:29:35

we were on a baseball tour and

1:29:38

we stopped in one evening to see

1:29:40

the summer league and now

1:29:42

of course it's totally different. The

1:29:45

NBA makes money off it, it's all

1:29:47

on television, Las

1:29:50

Vegas feels almost like a playoff

1:29:52

series but it

1:29:54

is definitely different, it's more high stakes and

1:29:57

in the old days. You

1:30:00

didn't have any drafted rookies playing those

1:30:02

guys just went straight to camp, but now

1:30:05

you know Most of

1:30:07

the drafted rookies played is the even the

1:30:09

number one number one picks

1:30:11

partly for television And

1:30:14

partly to give them some extra experience I guess

1:30:16

I Mean tell

1:30:18

me who won the Summer League last year No,

1:30:21

that that that's not why it's interesting my

1:30:23

thoughts on these you get a chance to see

1:30:25

the new guys Yeah, I'm not saying it's

1:30:27

better I'm not saying it's a better product

1:30:29

and just saying a lot of

1:30:31

people don't care about the NBA regular season

1:30:33

20 teams make The playoffs now with the

1:30:36

whole playing thing. That's why they tried to

1:30:38

address it with the in-season tournament the league

1:30:40

itself recognizes There's a problem a lot of

1:30:42

guys don't play in games because of load

1:30:44

management That's why they brought in that new

1:30:47

rule that they have to play 65 games

1:30:49

to to be considered for all NBA team

1:30:51

and the draft has

1:30:53

intrigued Then you have Superstars

1:30:56

on the move like Paul George to Philadelphia

1:30:58

Clay Thompson leaves Golden State There's all that

1:31:00

and then the Summer League is your first

1:31:02

chance to see some of these guys last

1:31:04

year There was great buzz because of wimpy

1:31:07

I don't know that there's somebody even close

1:31:09

to that level this year other than probably

1:31:11

LeBron skid Right.

1:31:13

No, you're 100% right, but I

1:31:16

also think free agencies become a bigger

1:31:18

deal than the draft Mm-hmm because the

1:31:20

free agency involves names we know and

1:31:23

involves guys who've been stars or who

1:31:25

are stars You

1:31:27

know if clay Thompson was gonna play for the Mavericks

1:31:29

since in the Summer League a lot more people would

1:31:31

watch But you're talking about

1:31:33

the young kids or you're talking about real

1:31:35

retreads guys who are trying to make their

1:31:37

way back into the league Hey, are you

1:31:39

surprised that this Caitlin Clark buzz has continued?

1:31:41

There are over 20,000 fans in Vegas

1:31:46

for the game yesterday. I mean

1:31:48

this has had some serious legs

1:31:51

No question and some of it is

1:31:53

is the bad publicity that she's gotten,

1:31:55

you know for not playing that well

1:31:57

at the outset She's playing better now

1:31:59

for the whole thing with with with

1:32:01

with Angel Rees you

1:32:04

know the back and forth and the physical

1:32:06

play I believe I correct me if I'm

1:32:08

wrong here that was her first time

1:32:10

in Vegas one of

1:32:12

the interesting tests will be the second time

1:32:14

she goes into place it's like she sold

1:32:17

out here in Washington and I haven't looked

1:32:20

it up maybe someone there knows Rees

1:32:23

was in town the night before and

1:32:26

they they moved their game also

1:32:28

to Capital One right and I

1:32:30

know the game was sold out

1:32:32

that that Clark played in

1:32:34

what what was the attendance the night before when Rees's

1:32:36

team was in town I don't know I don't think

1:32:39

it was a sellout but I think it was pretty

1:32:41

it was pretty robust I think it was well north

1:32:43

of 10k I can look it

1:32:45

up but when when we'll

1:32:47

really find out is not only the second

1:32:49

time around but next year you

1:32:51

know when Clark's been in the league for a year

1:32:54

she's established as a very good player maybe

1:32:56

as a star I still think she should have

1:32:58

been on the Olympic team my buddy Mike Wilbond

1:33:00

keeps you know hemming and shaking his head oh

1:33:02

you can't put her on the team she's not

1:33:04

one of the 12 best players oh big deal

1:33:07

you know if you're gonna leave someone

1:33:09

off leave someone off who's played in two or

1:33:11

three Olympics or six Olympics and

1:33:14

and put her on the team because

1:33:16

it will help generate interest for

1:33:19

the for the Olympic team but you

1:33:22

know it's a this is a

1:33:24

long-term question in the short term though you're

1:33:26

right I think for the league it's gone

1:33:28

very very well I see

1:33:31

4200 came to see in Jareese

1:33:34

and that was at the entertainment and sports

1:33:36

arena so that one they didn't they didn't

1:33:38

have it at Capital One the second time

1:33:40

that I thought they did I thought they

1:33:42

moved it to maybe I looked at the

1:33:44

first game they had her they had her

1:33:46

first game when Chicago came here at Capital

1:33:48

One I guess the second game was

1:33:51

at the entertainment and sports arena the smaller venue

1:33:54

you're talking about Angel Rees correct okay

1:33:57

okay so the first game was at Capital

1:33:59

One Yes, correct. I'm going to guess every

1:34:01

I'm going to guess every Caitlin Clark game

1:34:04

is going to be at Capital One. A

1:34:06

really should be. Yeah, it's been unbelievable. We

1:34:08

also touched on hard knocks. We haven't seen

1:34:10

it yet, but the reviews seem to be

1:34:12

amazing. The access they're giving, you know, covering

1:34:15

the Giants in the off season. See all

1:34:17

the machinations. I don't know. I'm sure you

1:34:19

probably haven't seen it, but you may have

1:34:21

seen some of the clips on social media.

1:34:24

It's it looks like it's going to be

1:34:26

awesome. You know, I

1:34:29

have watched hard knocks dating

1:34:31

back to when I did the quarterback book in 2017. Yeah,

1:34:35

because they were doing the Buccaneers and

1:34:37

one of my guys, Fitz

1:34:39

Magic was on that team.

1:34:42

And it's certainly well done. They produce the hell

1:34:44

out of it. They spend a lot of money

1:34:46

on it. And so

1:34:49

it's kind of worth watching. I think they've jumped

1:34:51

the shark a little bit by adding

1:34:54

this hard knocks regular season thing. Because

1:34:57

the access isn't the same for

1:34:59

obvious reasons. But it's

1:35:01

a good show. It's a good show.

1:35:03

I mean, there's there's no doubt about

1:35:05

it. And what's

1:35:07

what's the name of the guy who was

1:35:09

the narrator? I always try to be a

1:35:12

shriver. Yeah, great. And his voice just like

1:35:14

John Fessend in the old days makes a

1:35:16

big difference. He is. It's like a voice

1:35:18

of God thing. Right. Yeah. Yeah. No, no,

1:35:20

no. He's great. Can't wait to see it.

1:35:22

John. Let's talk about the the Capitals quickly.

1:35:24

Those people that thought that Brian McClellan was

1:35:26

just going to sit on his on his

1:35:28

hands during the last two years of Ovi's

1:35:30

deal and just kind of watch him try

1:35:33

to break Gretzky's record and not improve the

1:35:35

team like that. They had it shoved in

1:35:37

their face over the last few days because

1:35:40

he's transforming the team to try to stay

1:35:42

competitive as competitive as possible in Ovi's Twilight

1:35:44

years. What do you think of the moves

1:35:46

he's made so far? Well, McClellan is good

1:35:48

GM. I mean, he proved that when he

1:35:50

took over for George McPhee, who was also

1:35:52

a very good GM and has proved that

1:35:54

in Vegas. And

1:35:56

I think he recognized, you know, he

1:35:59

knows a lot more. about hockey than I do,

1:36:01

that the team was getting old. Uh,

1:36:03

it w it's been relatively, it's been slow

1:36:06

the last two years. The fact that they

1:36:08

got to the playoffs this past season is

1:36:10

a credit to them. Um,

1:36:13

and, and to, to, you know, what

1:36:15

McClellan had done to keep them scratching

1:36:17

and alive, but he, he knew when

1:36:20

last season ended that they had to make changes.

1:36:22

If they wanted to have a chance to be

1:36:24

competitive this coming season and next season, when

1:36:27

all veterans going for the record. Although

1:36:30

I don't think, I think you have

1:36:32

to think again, long-term Ovech is going to be

1:36:34

around another couple of years, but not forever, although

1:36:36

it feels like it. And you've

1:36:38

got to make plans for the day he

1:36:40

retires, which will eventually come. Wait,

1:36:44

you know, I got to say this because I

1:36:46

was skeptical about Ovechkin at times.

1:36:48

Um, maybe 10 years ago, were

1:36:50

you skeptical about what? I'm sorry.

1:36:52

What were you skeptical about? Well,

1:36:54

about him, you know, if you

1:36:56

go back 10 years. He

1:36:59

had a stretch there where he wasn't as great

1:37:01

as he had been early. Looked like he was

1:37:03

dipping. Yeah. Yeah. He, he,

1:37:05

he has been absolutely

1:37:07

an amazing player and personality here in DC.

1:37:10

And we should, we should always remember that

1:37:12

and give him credit for that. At least

1:37:14

I should. Yeah. No, I think so. In

1:37:16

fact, we've talked about it. It, when you

1:37:19

do your, you know, everyone always wants to

1:37:21

do your, uh, what's the normal rush more,

1:37:23

Mount Rushmore. He might be number one. No,

1:37:27

he could be. And, and, uh, Sonny Jurgensen

1:37:29

never won anything, but I think he belongs

1:37:31

on it. And, uh, Ryan

1:37:33

Zimmerman probably belongs on it. Um,

1:37:36

and I'm not sure who the fourth would

1:37:38

be. Joe Gibbs. Joe Gibbs. Yeah. I mean,

1:37:41

Joe Gibbs, Sarah Green has an argument. I

1:37:43

mean, there's. Yeah.

1:37:45

But, but, but Ove's definitely no worse

1:37:48

than two and probably a right one. Yeah.

1:37:50

Yeah. It's, it's been so good for so

1:37:53

long. He won a championship and. You

1:37:55

know, he, to say he's been the face

1:37:57

of the franchise is a total.

1:38:00

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, totally. Um,

1:38:03

God was there's so many other little things. Did

1:38:05

you you pay attention at all to the US

1:38:08

team getting knocked out of a copa America and

1:38:11

the Possible to miss it's

1:38:13

amazing how in soccer a one-nothing loss

1:38:15

is like losing 42 to nothing in

1:38:17

football But they lost

1:38:19

and they weren't supposed to law lose and

1:38:21

now the question is will they

1:38:23

fire Greg Berhalter? And everything I'm reading indicates

1:38:25

that I think they will yeah I think

1:38:27

so whether that's the right move or not

1:38:30

I don't know enough about soccer to know

1:38:32

but The

1:38:34

loss that killed the because you're quite a very good team

1:38:36

the last to kill them was Panama and

1:38:38

and the red card and all of that but He

1:38:42

definitely an embarrassing performance And although

1:38:45

it kind of sets them up to not have

1:38:47

quite as high expectations for the World Cup in

1:38:49

two years And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

1:38:51

Although right now that's not the way you look

1:38:53

at it John will

1:38:55

you be purchasing your we've got wood

1:38:57

shirt in honor of James

1:38:59

wood? Online

1:39:08

just go to 106 7 the fans

1:39:11

merch store. Have you seen? You

1:39:16

know having just moved I realized

1:39:18

how many t-shirts I own I

1:39:21

own a million t-shirts right kind of thin

1:39:23

them out. Oh Sorry,

1:39:25

got a thin out that we just had

1:39:27

a discussion about that cakes is not like

1:39:29

my first ex-wife The

1:39:32

first thing first thing she did when

1:39:34

when we got married was she threw out all my

1:39:36

t-shirts. Oh, that's not great How dare

1:39:38

it was not great. It was not one of the

1:39:40

greatest ways. So maybe it was a sign. I don't

1:39:43

know So

1:39:45

have you made you paid any attention to the

1:39:48

to the debut to the kid in his first

1:39:50

couple games Of course. Yes. Yeah, I can get

1:39:52

online though barely and You

1:39:55

know Right

1:39:57

now he's at that can't can do no

1:39:59

wrong stage You know I

1:40:02

read in the post today that you know, he

1:40:04

had two ground outs, but they were like 109 miles

1:40:07

per hour or something To

1:40:10

me that's the most overused statistic in sports

1:40:13

along with exit below. Oh, no, that is exit

1:40:18

An ounce and out, you know, it's like I

1:40:20

was saying to a friend of mine the other

1:40:22

day I'm talking about power rankings that appear on

1:40:24

the internet all the time. I love them. I

There's I don't know about these. I don't

1:42:15

know if you notice this. If you're a Daily Mail guy.

1:42:18

But Tori Spelling. Fifty

1:42:21

one parading around in her

1:42:23

bikini body. It's a

1:42:25

couple of interesting things. First of all she's had

1:42:27

five kids. She looks amazing. But it turns out

1:42:29

she reveals that she's been taking diabetes drugs to

1:42:31

lose weight since Oh

1:42:33

she was like the way ahead

1:42:36

of the curve. Patients zero for. Yes. Way

1:42:38

ahead of the curve. Oh interesting. But

1:42:43

she also reveals in

1:42:45

Valdez you are the official Juggs guy of

1:42:47

the show. That

1:42:50

the real reason for that big hole

1:42:52

that she has kind of in her

1:42:54

chest. Have you noticed

1:42:56

that she has these kind of two. These

1:42:59

two balloons and then there's kind of like a hole

1:43:01

there. I'm looking at it right now. It's

1:43:03

like a bone deformity. She talks about it.

1:43:05

There's actually a name for it. She's

1:43:08

thin because in the pictures that I'm looking at which

1:43:10

I'm sure is the same story. You

1:43:12

can see her ribs on her side. Super skinny. She

1:43:15

says it's actually a bone thing. It's called pectus

1:43:19

excavatum. It's

1:43:21

a chest wall deformity

1:43:24

where the sternum and several

1:43:27

ribs grow inward abnormally

1:43:30

creating the indentation. People

1:43:35

say it almost looks like a bowl in the center of

1:43:37

her chest. She said she could get

1:43:39

a bunch of boob jobs and it wouldn't take

1:43:41

it away. Nothing she could do really to make

1:43:43

it better. She says it's her party

1:43:46

trick. She could put. You could imagine

1:43:48

what she could put in there. She could put a Red Bull

1:43:50

can or podcast

1:43:52

microphone. Maybe

1:43:55

something else in there. It's a lot of a lot

1:43:57

of items that a lot of items. story

1:44:00

spelling could put in there. So there you

1:44:02

go. She's had a ton of surgeries, right?

1:44:04

I would imagine. Classic surgeries on her face.

1:44:06

I would imagine. I'm pretty sure she has.

1:44:08

Yeah. Hawk

1:44:11

to a girl won't go away. She won't. Hailey

1:44:13

Welch has

1:44:16

signed with the management firm,

1:44:18

the Penthouse. The

1:44:20

world's gone crazy for Hailey. They're

1:44:23

not William Morris. That's a huge one, right? I didn't

1:44:25

think that that one correct. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But

1:44:28

they're saying she's going to launch her own

1:44:30

social media channels. She's

1:44:32

already done a bunch of podcasts. And

1:44:35

then somebody described her as, I thought

1:44:38

this was a great comparison.

1:44:41

The female Theo Vaughn. You

1:44:44

know, it's kind of a quirky country, hillbilly. Yeah,

1:44:46

I can see that. I can see the bottle

1:44:48

of pain, you know? I

1:44:50

like that. I mean, I like that comparison. I

1:44:52
