Kap & J. Hood
7/11 8 AM: Shot or No Shot
[MUSIC] Good morning and welcome in to the Captain J. Good morning show on ESPN 1000. And we're streaming on the ESPN Chicago app with David Kaplan, Jonathan Hood with you. Now time for a shot of no shot brought to you by that VESPM bet now live in Illinois, baby. Sign up today. New users get $100 in bonus bets with any sports book that that say good morning to Shea. Winger, Northern. Good morning, boys on a Thursday. How are we feeling? We're good, man. Rock and roll. We're good. I want to find out, Shea, when from your trip to New Orleans, I mean, so no tan. I mean, if nothing else, like a ghost tan because I know it was hot as hell down there, right? Well, I was escaping the sun as much as possible because it was so hot. So if the air conditioner could provide a tan, then I'd have a tan. You're better than that. It's too hot. No, I mean, okay. And then it's when it's like nine below. You're being so cold. Yeah, but I like a lane. What do I want? One thing? No, I would rather be too cold than too hot. Oh God. Get out of there. Put it. You know what? Yeah. Put jumping in from the outside. Who would rather have it freezing cold than be hot where you can be outside doing stuff. I'm gonna put this on the pole at ESPN 1000 on Twitter. And again, you will be on the minority side of the voting Kaplan, because I'm putting it on my Twitter. I'm putting it out. Would you rather be too hot or too cold? People will say too cold. No chance. Now, I'm someone who can adjust, right? I can adjust cap to all of it. I have no problem with the heat. But I would imagine, because last time I was there, and how many times have been New Orleans five times, it's not the heat is humidity. That's the thing it can wear on you if you're out there too long. Yeah, it was like 95 raw temperature, which is okay. And then put the at the heat index, it was 105 110 every single day. And it's like we're just bouncing from bar to bar air conditioner to air conditioner. So if those could provide a tan, I would have a great one. The bar tan. If I could get a tan off of vodka rebels and hurricanes, I'd have an excellent tan. I need a picture of you just walking around with an IV of red bulls and and vodka, just walking around, just carrying the little thing, just a little cart just moving around from bar to bar. Yeah, me too. Just said Justin, the GCI, you just scream off the mic. You'd be the guy that would like it like 55. Yeah, I've openly said that 55 sucks. For some, not for everybody, for some, for me, it sucks. May as well be 20. I'm from Chicago. I can adjust to all of the cap. I like there. There is no, I mean, look, when you're from here, there's actually more heat now than it was when we were coming up. There would be winter from October through April, as you recall, do you not remember this or? I do. Okay, so I mean, so the point is like, whatever warm temperature we get, we can take it. And the idea that it's warm on the snow on a December 25th day, I'll take that. It's very few times we've seen that. Agreed, because that is unexpected. Man, it's it's it's it's commonplace. But if I gave you your choice, I know you. You and Peacock would rather vacation in St. Martin than go skiing in Aspen. Well, there's certain reasons for that also, Cap. Culturally speaking. Okay. Wow. You would rather you'd rather be in St. Martin where it's 89 and sunny. No question about it. Rather than be somewhere where it's snowing. No, Cap, you you know me. You know, absolutely. That is the case. Absolutely. But I think that what chasing normal people do. Shea doesn't mind the heat, but it's just the the humidity on top of that. It's different in the south. In the deep south, it's a little different. Like for you in Florida, you can survive that, right? You'd love that, Cap. With the heat and the humidity. A hundred percent. Sure. Sure. You built for that, though. That's what I love. Shea, go ahead. What's coming up here on? All right, the Cubs are in basically the same position they were a year ago, split between either clear buyer or clear seller. But once again, it seems thanks to Otis the owl, they're getting hot in July and trying to force Jedi lawyers and they have a chance today to sweep the Orioles and could be catching the Cardinals at the right time with a four game series ahead of the all star break coming up. If the Cubs can stay hot and win this series against St. Louis, it would be three straight series victories for the Chicago Cubs and shot or no shot. They would need to be buyers at the deadline. The shot. Absolutely. Three and a half back in a wild card. Dust off the debit card. Let's go. You're just unbelievable. You had them dead and buried, and now they're resurrection. It's all they're alive now. They're alive. You had them dead and buried. You wanted to trade off parts. Not even two weeks ago. I did. Now what? They're playing better baseball and the power of the owl is real. I had to do anything. What do he do? And by the way, when we say that, Shay, let's put that in context. When we say that, you say, you know, add on, well, it starts with the bullpen because you need a reliable ninth inning guy, reliable eighth inning guy, reliable seventh inning guy. You need that. Even though you might have a kid that you might believe in now in biggie, you still need to have arms that you can trust, veteran arms, Porter Hodges showing you could trust him. He was off standing last night, inning and a third. That's a sample size. You're better than that. Okay, you're getting Julie and Mary weather back. He's had a great year last year about this year. He's been hurt. Exactly. Yeah, broken rib. I think changing the dynamic is the whole part of our conversation we've had, isn't it? The dynamic changing, fresh arms, right? But if you look on the ball club, but if you take two of three from the Angels, okay, they're not very good. No. Then you if you take two of three or sweep Baltimore, now you got to go to say Lewis and play good baseball. It's worry about today today. It's only thing we can control is the game in front of us today. I think the conversation is if you're if you're adding on and to Shay's point, if you're adding on, what are you adding on to besides the bullpen? Because that's where you need the most help. Well, it's gonna be Ballinger's finger broken. He got hit last night. He's having an imaging done today. If he's hurt while he hasn't been magnificent this year, he's been okay. It's fine. You're gonna have to replace him if he's out for two months with a broken finger that requires surgery. You got an issue. I'm not saying he is. He said, we'll see. We're gonna have imaging done. He didn't say that's nothing. I'll be in the lineup tomorrow. Although the last time he said that when he heard his knee or his rib, he was out of month. Yeah. So it's all right. You got Pete Crow and Talkman will be back soon. So that's good enough. What play the kids, kid? I'm good with that, but I'm still gonna have to add on if you're in the race, you get you owe it to your city, you owe it to your team, you owe it to the fans that spend a fortune jamming that place. I'm just all right. We don't have to talk about it now, but it's going to be a conversation we're going to have is if you are that good or you feel like you can get into the playoffs, you're going to add a bat. Where's it go? Well, again, is what's up with balance? Oh, besides balance, you will be fine. He'll be fine. Even if he plays August 1, he'll be fine. It's not is that debilitating that he's going to be out for the season. It's not that bad. It's a finger. He's fine. I hope you're right. But then what else? That's the question. That's the topic we're going to have. If you feel like you're close, what are you adding on? What do you need? What else? Because the team is what it is. DH power? Maybe. Like a little better about a catcher about it. You're catching stinks. Terrible. All right, Shay, that's a need. Oh, all right. Need. Oh, go ahead. Hoodie Angel Reese continues to stir up some controversy yesterday sitting on nine points and 13 rebounds. The sky were up seven on their final possession. Angel Reese got in the post, demanded the ball from her teammate, then drew a foul so she could get to the stripe. She hit both finishes with 11 and 13 and extends the double double streak to 14 games. There was no reason. The game was over other than extending the double double streak. So shot or no shot. Angel Reese is a stat patter. No, she's not a stat patter. That's a shot. Cap. So she broke the mark WNBA mark of double doubles because they get double doubles in a game in a season. Yeah, it's super cool. So that's that's fine. But I'd like for you, Shay, to show cap that sequence because I saw the video of it and she's getting made fun of on social media where people are in a gym and they're missing shots on purpose to get the rebound to make to miss another shot to get the rebound offensive rebound two or three to be able to get 10 or more. It's interesting what's happening here with this that she patter stats. I just think that she's more sure handed offensively that she could make these bunnies. And I feel like she's better than this. Some of these these missed shots that she has at the rim. She's better than that. I saw her in college. I know she can make these layers, but it feels like that one video where she's demanding the ball, it's as if she knew that she was a rebounder too shy of getting that double double. Did that look like that to you, Shay? Or is that just my eyes? Yeah, I think she's uh, I mean, there was a sequence at the end of a game the other day where she missed like four consecutive shots and rebounded all of them. And look, to me, it's kind of irrefutable. She's patting the stats a little bit to keep the streak going. The follow up question is, do you care? Because I don't. I don't care. No, it's fine. I'm just saying like, I know that she's a better player than those missed shots. Some are going to fall short. It's not, but Shay, as you saw that sequence like I did in that game, I know that she can hit layups. And I just feel like, I don't know if she talked to someone in the bench and how, you know, because she wants to keep that streak going. It doesn't matter to me, but I know that she's better than what I saw in that sequence. What I will say about yesterday in particular is you already set the record. The game is over. You're up seven. It's the final possession. Just let the streak end. You don't need to demand the ball from your teammate and draw a ridiculous foul. Just to keep the streak going. This is kind of funny to me. Are you gonna mention Caitlyn's day yesterday? She made history, dude. Real incredible history. You gonna mention it? What is happening right now? Does she play in Chicago? This is my issue. I can't bring up anything about this sport without somebody jumping down my throat about Caitlyn Clark. Well, when you see what she did yesterday, first player in an NBA or WNBA game since 1973, 74 to have 29 13 assists, five rebounds, five steals, five blocks. How about a little love? And a loss to Washington. That's correct. 8980. Don't forget that part of it too. That is correct. Sides is fine. I just said, hoodie, why can't we talk about the local athlete in the sport without having to shoehorn Caitlyn Clark in? Because this guy is like Captain just wants to, you know, embrace her. Nobody's diminishing the accomplishment. Very good for her. She played a great game. She doesn't play here. I didn't deem it as relevant to this audience. I'm asking about Angel Reese who plays in town and a thing that went viral on social media and was being talked about in certain outlets yesterday. I thought we could bring it here. Why does it have to be? Hey, buddy, are you gonna mention Caitlyn Clark? Well, it's not like she had 12 points and seven boards. She did something no NBA or WNBA players done in 40, 50 years, 50. Stick it, Norlin. Now as impressive as sloppy Thurston. That's right. Hey, Michael Copay. Some yesterday hasn't happened in 101 years for the light socks. That's all. I proud of Angel Reese. I better bring up go back. Yes, cap. It was a great accomplishment. You know why? Because Caitlyn Clark is the face of the WNBA. They make you feel better. She's the face of the WNBA. She she is at this point in time. No, I'm more than likely rookie of the year. I was a double down for you. I think she will be rookie of the year, but I would say the face of the WNBA still has got to be like Sabrina. I and ask you, she's amazing. You know what? Wake me up when Caitlyn Clark does it in the Olympics. Give me a call then. She's got to get there first. She's got to be invited. All right, Jake, can you squeeze in one more before around the NFL? Yeah, Jalen Brown yesterday did some complaining on social media after being left off the U.S. Olympic team in the wake of Kawhi Leonard's departure. His Celtics teammate, Derek White, was added to team USA. Jalen Brown took to Twitter, where he posted the Monical emoji, apparently questioning the decision. And then at Nike, apparently blaming Nike for leaving him off of team USA because he's been critical of their brand. My question shot or no shot. Jalen Brown is being a bad teammate to Derek White. No shot. This has nothing to do with Derek White. It's him expressing his opinion on something. No, I have no issue with it. I don't think he's being a bad teammate. Do you? Not a bad teammate to Derek White. I think he feels like he got passed over because he's a Nike guy. And with this stuff that he said about Nike. I would hope that's not true, but it's certainly being expressed by others that it's a valid concern that should never play into it. Never. Yeah, I mean, I heard Grant Hill in his explanation. He says, I just want to put the best team out there. I just think that Jalen Brown is one of the best players in the league today. And for him not to be considered and Derek White, who's a good player in his own right? Yeah. I just think that that's a short shrift on Jalen Brown, who wants to be part of. He wants to represent his country. Why wouldn't he? Like people who are not in the game, they have no idea that when you go recruiting, now NIL gets, you know, but pre NIL kids, you would lose recruits because of the shoes. No, he's got to be at a Nike school because Nike sponsors his high school team and they're going to kind of that stuff was out there, man. Yes. So what do you think their phone call was like, Shay? Jalen Brown, he's just waiting by the phone and Derek White gets the call instead. What's that like? Do you think Jalen just left the room immediately logged on to his phone? Probably so. My thing is, if I'm Derek White, this is a cool accomplishment. I would think my teammate would be happy for me not going. It should be me. And by the way, I get it. Like, I'm not saying Jalen's wrong to feel the way he feels. I would just maybe take it easy. That's your teammate. You by the way, as a Celtics fan, Shay, you're good with this. Yeah, I'm fine with it. Yeah. And honestly, Derek White's probably a better roster fit if you go through the like genuine roster construction of it. Just probably won't matter because they're going to win the gold medal regardless. They will. If they don't win the gold medal with K and LeBron and Curry and Tatum and Anthony Edwards and Embiid and like they finally brought the big dogs back out for this. If they don't win the gold, that is a referendum. Yeah, I guess so, Cap. I think team USA could win. Now, Greg Volkbur halter was coaching the men's basketball. Maybe not. Wow. That guy stinks. I could tell you this, the original dream team, 1992, they would take this iteration and beat them like dogs. No question. Oh my God. Any rules. And I know people think, well, what rules are planned? Doesn't matter. International rules. It wouldn't matter the rules. But if they played in the 90s rules, these kids would go crying home. Like what? He can't hit me like that. Yes, he can. We got around the NFL. And don't forget us a deal breakers Thursday coming up at 835 on Captain J.hood. I love winter. He starts to comment. This is a really thickly built guy. I mean, with Sam, so you're looking for all these things. It's time to go around the NFL right here on the Captain J.hood morning show on ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. By the way, the poll question is up. The question, again, you can get it on my Twitter feed at the cap man. Would you rather have the weather be too hot or too cold right now? 1,178 votes have poured in. 54.8 would prefer to be too hot. Over too cold. And you voted how? That's what I thought. My friend Eric, the golf pro ethical. That's why we left Chicago. Shea is just weak. Southern Texas, 100 degrees, four months in a row. Love it. 70s in the winter. So he left and I'm weak. Around the NFL. Here's Shea. Wow. I have a list here of NFL MVP candidates that are not quarterbacks for each team. I want to take us through at least the NFC North. He's got his ass there. Good job, Justin. I want to start with the the Bears, obviously. The MVP of the Bears non-quarterback is Montez Sweat. Yeah, says this would be the best case scenario. Sweat's the highest paid player on the team and test with sparking its biggest weakness from last season, rushing the passer. Is Montez Sweat the Bears non-quarterback MVP candidate this season? That's a good one. So is Montez Sweat the best Bears player non-quarterback on the roster? No. Who is it? Jaylin Johnson. Lockdown corner, maybe top three, four, five in the league. Is Sweat on that list? Yeah, he's in the discussion. No doubt. Well, I mean, in today's NFL cap, if your best player is a secondary player, was it safe for your team? He turns a field over, but in an offensive league, if he's the best player on the Bears. Is that good? Yeah, I don't think so. Oh, I disagree. I get a lockdown corner is essential against the passing attacks of these leagues. He's not returning them for touchdowns, cap. He's just getting in. He's getting some interceptions. Yes, but they don't want to throw to him immediately cuts half the field off. Yeah. I think it's Montez Sweat for what he brought to the table for the Bears. Very good, but Jaylin Johnson might be the best in his craft. Spot sauce gardener. There's a handful, but he's right there. Shay is just in, is Jaylin Johnson the best corner in the league? The very best at the tippy top? He asked PFF. He was the best in coverage last season. And you'd say it got to be top three. He was incredible last year. He was incredible. He was. I remember we all got on him about the dropped interceptions. And like that is an issue because when you have those opportunities, you have to take advantage of them. But when you are basically a no fly zone on one side of the field, that's a massive asset. Massive. That's why they had to get him signed. I give the collective the credit. Nothing wrong. Nothing against Jaylin Johnson, but I also give the secondary plenty of credit as well for what they were able to do. No question about that. I think that they were massively strong as a unit. But in offensive league, the four pass still matters. The quarterback, the wide receiver tied in, however you get the offensive line, that matters. But if you look at the best team in football, the Chiefs, you leave my homes out of it. Who's the best player on their team? Travis Kelsey. No shot. Chris Jones. Chris Jones. Bingo. Yep. Travis Kelsey. Chris Jones. Sorry. That was part of the conversation yesterday. That's important. The importance of the tight end. Travis Kelsey. Oh, the goal of joining the show. Travis Kelsey. That's the elixir, the key. He's not even the best offensive player on the team, non Mahomes division. No, it's rice on that chief team. It might be Pacheco. Probably fight doctor. No question. Ferdy. Yeah. Yeah, I'd have to go Chris Jones. Absolutely. I think that's I think that's interesting. I will just tell you if Jaylin Johnson is the best player this year on the Chicago Bears, the Bears are not going to get to where they need to be. Disagree. He can't cap. He doesn't score touchdowns. Doesn't throw passes. Yes, it's one part of the Felix cut off. Yes, but an offensive league offense matters. You're not winning games six to three anymore, buddy. Doesn't matter. Ryan, you're not doing that. Doesn't matter. It plays into what you're able to do offensively when you have that good a player on the other side. Take the Cowboys, take Dak Prescott out of it. Who's their best player? Like a person. Thank you. Yeah. And then where are they going? Exactly. Because offense still matters in this league. It does, but the best cornerback, best rush guy, I think is more important. Tom Brady as, I don't want to make Evan's point for him. But as he said, yes, you don't have to have the greatest receivers. You don't. You absolutely do not. Who is the second best player on the Lions behind? If you left golf out of it, pennies, who might be pretty cool offensive lineman or their tight end. Pretty sure pretty strong. That's a good example, though, because the Lions in this article, they named Frank Ragnow, the center has the MVP non quarterback, but they also said you could throw a dart at the roster and the likelihood of hitting a non quarterback MVP type would be high because their offensive line is so good. I'm in Ross St. Brown. I was going to say I'm in Rob for sure. Aidan Hutchinson, Penne Sewell. Was that on the mic, Justin? That was on the mic. Okay. I like you when the mics turn off just yelling like you're on GCI. I think that's best. But Shane, here's the thing. There's a number of players that we liked on this bear's depth chart, but I'm proven like DJ Moore's proven because that's a veteran, right? Rome's not. Rome's not. At some point, we will point at him and say, there's the guy right there. At some point, we'll look at Brisker. We know by yard is he's a solid veteran. He only helps what they're going to do in the in the secondary. At some point, we'll look at Montez Sweatt. At some point, we'll look at someone up in the linebacker spot. I'm just saying that it's more defined with Detroit than it is with the Bears on the non quarterback MVPs because there's a lot of unproven players, too. There is. But Jalen Johnson is so elite at his craft. I think he's the second best player on the team. Is he? Well, I was going to say, is he he most elite? At his position? No, on the Bears or is DJ Moore more proven? I would say more is. No, I'd say Jalen Johnson. That's a tough way to ask it though because Moore's had a lot of time and like the skins on the wall factor. That's what I mean. But in terms of who was the better at their position or at their craft, Jalen Johnson. No question. No question. That's so amazing. I think that's still to be defined, Cap, on how many others you could say that's the MVP of the team. You need more than one. That's by far Ryan Pace's best pick. You need more than one if you want to get to the Super Bowl. We know that. No doubt about it. No doubt about it. But you look at Dallas, Trayvon Dig. We got hurt last year. He'll be back. And Micah Parsons. I mean, they got some dudes. Seedy. Seedy's another one. And he was not a top 10 pick. Wasn't he like 18th? Please tell me Jalen Johnson will be Dion Sanders at the position. Well, you just can't throw to him at all. I got that because that's when I think elite, that's what I think about at that position. I mean, you're talking about a hall of fame player who's one of the five best cover corners of all time. I want to ask for that. Yeah, let's go. But this in this iteration of the NFL, Jalen Johnson is as good as it gets at cover corner. Agreed. I agree with you. So very important. Hopefully we'll say that about Darnell Wright. Hope you're right, right? Someone like that. That's just an anchor on that offensive line. That'd be amazing. And we will have deal breakers right around the corner here on the Cap and Jalen Morning Show. Here's two days headline headline with Captain J. Hood. Captain J. Hood brought to you by the village of Bowling Brook home to the 2024 live golf individual championships at the awesome Bowling Brook golf club. And by the way, Monday I'll be playing at another course out in that area for the miracle Michael osteogenesis imperfector, which is brutal bone disease. Golf outing. It will also be a very good day for me at the pay window. You know why? How's that? So I'm playing Dan Hampton, the human ATM. Go ahead. Take that, Hampo. The Cubs won their fourth straight game last night, taking a road serious and won a baseball's best in Baltimore with a four nothing went over the Orioles. The Cubs have a chance to win the series today. The four game series with St. Louis, ahead of the all-star break next week. White Sox split the double dip with the twins yesterday. The win in the first leg included an immaculate inning by Michael Copac, nine pitches, nine strikes, three strikeouts, bogging him over. First by a White Sox pitcher said sloppy Thurston in 1923, a hundred and one years ago, last cut to do it. The vaunted Hayden with Sneske in 2022 against Pittsburgh. Sky's Angel Reese continued her record setting double double streak in a victory yesterday. 11 points 13 boards secured her 14th straight double double and the U.S. Men's national team has wacked head coach Greg Berhalter after their disappointing exit in the Copa America tournament. Team USA basketball director Grand Hill said the decision is said Kawhi Leonard home and replacing with Derek White ultimately resting with team USA. Smokey Kevin J. Hood are fast. First by collar. Huge fan of your guys. Chicago's home for sports. ESPN Chicago. Oh my gosh. I mean it's huge. We all have to make choices in sports and in life. It could be running on third down. You ran the same third down situation and you ran the same play twice. You're getting paid for that. I cannot believe the call for managing finances. This country you gotta make the money for or it could be a deal breaker. Captain J. Hood weekday morning seven to ten here on ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. Now it's time for. Bless you. Now time for deal breakers. I turn my mic off. You don't have to call attention to it. You don't want to be blessed by me. I do take the blessing. Why? Fires back folks. He doesn't want me to bless him anymore. That's how that's how he works walks into his life. Doesn't even need the blessing. Deal breakers brought to you by. That would be affinity whole health and feel great Illinois dot com. Learn more about their testosterone replacement therapy and some magnetized weight loss. You're going to feel great Illinois dot com. It's a different name there. I was watching a TV program. I told this to Joe McCartill production director. And they said it's brought to you by some Agletide. I'm like what was that? MLB network. I'm like wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. We've been calling it. Samagletide. And Samagletide is apparently the way they wanted pronounced. Okay. It makes more sense though if it's some of blue tide because it's for your glutes. And everything else is on your body. We turn now to Shay W. Norland with this edition of deal breakers. Shay. All right, Brad, don't embarrass yourself here. You've been kind of slacking in these lately. He is gonna. He is gonna get you. Hey man, I just tell it like it is. I call it as I see it. Okay. I see a half-assed effort. I call it out. You're welcome to write something. It's not my job. It's your job. Just do your job. Bill Belichick joining us now in studio. Here's Shay. All right. This happened to me at a bar in New Orleans. I'd like to know how the two of you would react. And then I will tell you how I reacted. You are in a single bathroom in a bar. It's door in the bathroom. There's no stalls. It's just you with the lock and whatever. You lock the door, but find out it might not lock very well because a really drunk dude barges into the bathroom. You tell him, Acupano, brother, like hang on a moment. He says, quote, sorry, man. It's not you. I got to escape my girlfriend and just stands in the bathroom. Well, you take care of your business. Do you let him continue to hang out with you in a cramped single stall bathroom or tell him he's got to wait outside? That's a real breaker. He's going to have to wait outside. Was he was he there to watch? Was he looking at like you're trying to skip your girlfriend? You go, you know what? Go through the bar and go outside. Now, when you said it's a single stall, is it like just a single room? Yeah, okay. Yeah, he's got to wait out. Yeah, that's not happening. Sink in there too, right? Yeah. Okay. But you know, I mean, these old buildings in New Orleans, they're squeezing bathrooms into broom closets. Brother, I had to ask because it is New Orleans. Sometimes maybe no six there. So just want to ask. So sink in a single stall. Sorry, man. You're going to have to wait outside. You try to escape your girlfriend. You know what? I'm sure that bar where you were was busy. You can hide through the folks in the darkness because I know it probably wasn't well lit. It's New Orleans. You could find a way to hide your way through. Duck down, whatever. But how do you in the bathroom? No, sorry. That sounds sketchy to me. Not happening. Yeah. Once I'm done, you can have at it. Yeah. Go ahead. So no. And so you allowed him to stand there. So I think he barges in and I say, Hey man, like I'm midstream here. This is not the time to join me and provide company. Maybe take a step out and he like gets halfway out. And then I hear the door moving again and I like look over my shoulder and he's standing back in the room and he goes, Sorry, man. It's not you. It's my girlfriend. I got to take care of the whatever. He's like got his wallet out. He's going through all his stuff. He's counting his cash. And I'm just like, All right, I'm done. Flush. And this was a very weird thing you did, brother. I got to get out of here. Yeah, I would just try to deescalate the situation and get out if he's not going to leave. Last thing I do need is a fight in a bar bathroom in New Orleans with a drunken patron. Yeah, that wouldn't work. No, he'd have to wait because I don't know what his he could say. He's trying to duck his girlfriend who really knows what's going on, Cap. You don't could be trying to duck the authorities or someone wants to beat his who knows. I don't you could want to beat my ass. You are in no more vulnerable position than midstream in life. Well, if he's trying to do that while I'm using the bathroom, he's going to get his eye poked out. Sorry. What'd you say? What was that? I ruined your Jordan's. My fault. Pardon me. Excuse me while I whip this out. Here's Shay Norley. I should have asked him if he enjoyed the show. I'll take a tip. You can't know your cash. Did you enjoy the show? I'll take one of those twenties. I like this bell. What an odd guy. It is odd. That's that's not right. All right, your brother is planning his wedding. He and his fiance are going through the process of selecting dates. They're being very courteous. So they send you a few of the dates and ask if you have any conflicts. If there's any reason you might not be able to make it. You send one date back that they offered where you have a pre-planned non-refundable vacation schedule. Of course, that is the date they end up choosing for their wedding. So you have a choice. Do you give up a pre-planned non-refundable vacation that you've had scheduled to be at your brother's wedding? Or do you miss the wedding because they ignored you and chose the date? Look, my brother and I are so close that if he was getting married, I would know about it long before he even got engaged. Hey, man, I'm going to ask his wife's Wendy. I'm going to ask when to marry me. Okay, when are you going to get married? Probably looking at whatever the date. I think his is May, something May 13th. So and if heaven forbid it was the situation you're describing? Yeah, the non-refundable vacation goes down the toilet. I'm at my brother's wedding. I'm not a wedding guy, but my brother's wedding guy I'm there. Yeah, Shay, I think that I'm still finding a way to go, but I understand the question. I just think that I would find a way to get there, especially for someone that I love, family. I think I'd find a way, despite the snapper with the dates. That's tough. I think I'm missing the wedding because you asked me if there were any conflicts. I provided you the conflict. You said all good, and then you scheduled it on that date. That's a lifetime decision that you're making there over a trip. That's a give you a gift. You're a bad sibling. I give you a gift. You're a bad sibling. Yeah, the Michigan State's on, on NBC. Oh, if it's on T. Jack, I'm missing it. This jackaloo would miss a family wedding for a like Delaware state game that he's gambling on. First game of the season, by the way, Delaware State, I believe. We double checked. I believe it is. Bad sibling. Might be just Delaware, but I do think that does sound right. No, I am missing my one of my wife's friends is getting married. And my wife called me after she went to the wedding shower and said, none of the other husbands are going. I mean, you're welcome to come if you want to. And I said, no, no shot. Saturday, Saturday, football weekend, no way. But if it's someone close in your family, it is Delaware state against Hawaii, by the way, Saturday, August 24th. That's the first game of the season. I'm locked in chasing already. Ready to go. I'm already chasing. By the way, you see us on the TV screen right there. That is Billy Jean King? Yes. Yes. I'm going to get myself in trouble. Don't do it. Don't do it. She's an amazing, amazing shape. She's an incredible tennis player. I mean, it's got to be how old 85? Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned her shape first, but go ahead. The pearls are in a great look. They look, make you look older. Pearls are out. People know where pearls are. She's in her 80s. What do you expect? Would you prefer fish net? What are you talking about? I hope my wife never wears pearls. It's a bad look. Bad. Sorry. You're bashing an 80-year-old. He said it makes you look old. She's 80. Cap. What the matter? What? She? You have a gold chain. She'd look old. She can have the Mr. T starter kit. She's in great shape for 80. Yeah. So it's really good. The pearls and the pearl earrings. Let it go. You mentioned her shape. Are you interested? No. Sounds like it. No. I was a big fan of her as a tennis player, six-time Wimbledon champ. She was amazing. She'd been a pioneer in so many areas with the pearls. I'd put them away. No shot. This guy was a fan of her as a tennis player either. I actually was. I remember watching tennis. I don't, but I love Billie Jean King. But she beat Bobby Riggs, that jackass. Yeah, it was awesome. He doesn't even know who Bobby Riggs is. Battle of the sexes? That was a big deal, Che. Take that. But lose the pearls. Pearls are bad. We'll have more deal breakers. That's right around the corner on the Captain J. Hood Morning Show. Deal breakers. Here's Shane Orlin. All right. You have a co-worker who gets ready for his day in the office bathroom, shows up to work and street clothes, changes into his work clothes that he brings in a bag, puts on his deodorant, does all the things you do to get ready in the morning, except he's doing it all in the office bathroom, including apparently manicuring his beard. Because he's leaving beard hair all over the sink on a daily basis. How do you handle this? Okay. First of all, we have to determine if that is the guy. And if he is the guy, then I would talk to the building management first. Hey, at this time, almost every day, there's beard shavings in the sink. Is there any way that you can talk to this person about it? Building management. Because you haven't seen the person at work. You haven't seen him do it, but you kind of know what's him. Well, I went in there today. I didn't even need to use the restroom. I was coming from the car. I walked in. I walked by the bathroom. Shay popped into my mind, and I walked back, went into the bathroom. I opened the door and I put the little kickstand down so it stayed open. And there he was. And so I walked in the bathroom. He's changing clothes. He's got one sink completely monopolized. I use the other sink. I wash my hands. And look back. Hair of the sink. You want to change clothes in there, brother. Go right ahead. Have at it. Sure. Quit shaving in there. And if you do, clean your freaking mess up, you slob. You can shave in there, but just remove the shavings. Just run some water in there. Stop telling people you're an officer. You're not. Okay. I need to stop doing that. He's not a policeman. I understand that, Cap. But I mean, now you're narrowing it down. This gets around, you know, this, this building that we're in, it's really like a small town. It'll get around very quickly because I speak the truth. I understand that, Cap. But I mean, I'm not there to protect you. Who knows if that guy will wall up you? I can handle it. What if his first name is Officer? His name is not Officer. Or General Booty. Yeah. You don't know that. His name could be Officer. What's your name? I'm Cap. What's your name? Officer Young or whatever he said it was. And I'm like, what's what's a straw in the coffee? Because it wasn't cold brew. It was hot coffee. I was the first to ask you about that. I said, I asked you that off to the side. Off to the side. I said, Cap, let me ask you a question. Just off the coffee. Do you drink coffee with a long straw? Hot coffee. A small coffee, long straw. Correct. It sticks way out of the car. No. Justin, do you sip coffee through a straw? No, I would never do that. I don't even drink coffee. I might have been a coffee guy. But through a straw, come on. What are we doing? How about, how about a beverage? Do you use a straw for that? Like a pop? No. What, what are my 10? What are you talking about? My 10? No. I don't, I don't use a straw. What about a cocktail? Like if you get a hot fall or something like that? Yeah, sure. Maybe a cocktail. Yeah. You would drink soda through a straw too. Come on. I don't, I don't think so. I don't, I don't think I do. If you go out to dinner and you get a coke, you're not going to sit there and drink it out of the glass. You're going to get a straw. That true? I don't know. I don't, I don't know the last time I've used the straw. Put down the poll, please add a ESPN 1000 to you on a straw. Yes, you know. My wife has a bunch of glass straws in her silverware drawer. Yeah, we got those. Yeah, of course we have straw. No question. Put down the polls and see if people actually use straws. We have them. Absolutely. Because cap, the thing that is, this is how we've evolved. You would open up a can of whatever your favorite pop is back then they just turn it up and drink it, right? Now we're a little bit more smarter where we've got to, you know, clean the top of the, the can. You don't know if there's been some people stepping on that can. You don't know. So you want to pour it into something. Yeah, I always watch the topic. Yeah, we are white but off and then pour it into something. Yeah. But back in the day, man, it's like, oh, yeah, I'm a kid. Just turn it up. Now we're a little smarter about germs. I'll drink from the can, but I washed, I always run, rinse the top of the can first or get a straw because it's probably better. We got straws at the house. Absolutely. That young man in there, Justin says, so he doesn't have straws there. So, wow. All right, can you sneak in one more? Yeah, I want to. So I was reading the news and Singapore has added 16 insects to their list of things deemed for human nutrition. And I want to know if your life depends on it, would you eat this insect? All right. Starting with a Western honey bee. Well, no. Next, you rather die. Yeah. Have a bee in my in my bonnet? No, I would not. Yeah, I would do whatever I had to do to stay alive. All right. What about a white grub? Looks like a maggot turns into a beetle. I made puke, but whatever I had to do to stay alive. I'm good. Next kids to coach. How about a mealworm, Cap? You're gonna need a draw on me. I got kids to coach. I'll do anything again. Whatever I have to do to keep breathing and living, I'll do what I got to do. What if it was a bag of fries? Be tough. See, that's the thing. Look up a photo of King with mealworms and tell me that you would eat a bag of these if your life depended on it. Well, you're tough. But again, I might vomit all over myself, but I don't want to die. That's bad. I mean, that would be hard. You got to eat a bag of those. Oh my God. Can you handle that? It looks like many bamboo all crawling all over each other. Right. That would be really, really hard. You wouldn't do it. I wouldn't die. I would do it. You wouldn't do it. That's disgusting. Can you give us another couple of examples, other examples you might have? The African locust? Well, I've had those. I'm good there. What about a house cricket? Oh, a house cricket. The ones around the house, would you eat those? Yes. If I had to stay alive and I just googled, can they human eat mealworms? Their consumption is a braced in Asian parts of Europe. Mealworms are packed with nutrients, especially protein. This nutritious delicacy is fit for both pet and human consumption. You can enjoy it in various forms, including fried, roasted, and even live. Enjoy it doing awfully heavy lifting in that sentence. Well, my choice is that or I get a 22 between the eyes? No, I'll try to live. Is the blood hot? I think I might consider, I mean, I'll just say a cap. Boy, that cricket boy, this picture, the cricket I had in front of me, really has a cockroach feel to it. I'm not sure if I could do that. Grasshopper. That's brutal. That's brutal. Brutal. And that's our edition of Deal Breakers. Enjoy your breakfast everybody, as Shay gives you all of these nasty animals. Put some mealworms in your oatmeal. And I will give you an update on our poll question when we come back as well. On Captain Jay Hood.
