And we are swinging our way back into action here. 301 is the time, 601 in Boston, Mass. Tony Gwen Jr. is there. Cracello, Matt Scrabie here, Odyssey Palace Studios, San Diego, California. Tomorrow, the Padres will take on the Boston Red Sox. Game one of a three-game series, bad news. Game not on local television because it's on Apple TV only. Great news, though. You can watch the game if you subscribe to Apple TV. And when you go there to watch the game on Apple TV, you can choose and get your choice of radio broadcasters. Ding, ding, ding, ding, the light should go on. You get your choice of radio broadcasts so you can listen to Jesse and Tony while you watch the game, which is something that you normally cannot always do. I hate Apple with all of my being, but I will give them this. That's a great idea because if no one wants to listen to their announcers, you get your choice of your home radio guys. Let me tell you something. If you know who the Apple TV announcers used to be, I don't know who they are now. I don't either actually. But if it's who they used to be, believe me, you want to listen to Jesse and Tony. Is it Ryan? I know maybe Ryan Spillboard? I don't know who it is. Just listen to Jesse and Tony tomorrow night and be done with it. Be done with it. Spilly's on there now. I like Spill. He's a good guy. Good guy. I don't remember who they are. I don't know who they are. It really doesn't matter. I'm going to listen to Jesse and Tony, but tomorrow night's game, you'll have to watch it on Apple TV. I will say, I just don't subscribe. I really do like the Apple graphics though. I will say that. They're pretty sweet. It's pretty simple. They put the, there's not a whole lot going on. They got the score up there. It's pretty easy to follow and now you can have Jesse and I's voice to go with those cool graphics. Very nice. Yeah. Whatever. I will say this because I've got to stick up for, you know, the world of, you know, cable television. Cable. Yeah. I can't get behind more and more sporting events going to streaming. I just, I can't support that. I have to try to hold it off as long as I can. Don't show Willis is apparently an analyst. Don't show him. Don't show his one of them. Heidi Watney, Tricia Whittaker, Alex Faust. Who's the Wayne Randazzo? Who's the play-by-play? Wayne Randazzo. Yeah. Wayne Randazzo. Oh, forget it. Wayne is with, uh, Wayne is with the, with the angels. Yeah. Good guy, but not tomorrow night. Sorry. Wayne. Now listen to you. Oh, wait. I got a preview. This is a preview of the big five question with Michael K getting all fired up yesterday. So we'll, we'll get to that in the four o'clock hour. I heard a great story on Michael K and his home run call today. Really? Great story. Yeah. And it was, I don't know, it made me like Michael K Moore, even more. It was basically like, they were asking, he was on Rich Eisens show and he was asking Rich, or Rich was asking him about his home run call, where did it come from? See ya. And he said that he actually stole it from this young lady he was dating at the time. He said that every time, he said that every time he would drop it off, drop her off at her place, she would get out the car and she would say, see ya, wouldn't want to be ya. That's where he came up with, huh? And so he said he just, he started, he started playing with it. He said, obviously, you know, the wouldn't want to be apart, didn't necessarily fit. And so I just started saying, see ya, and that's how it came about. See, my man was out there, living his best life, dating, and came up with his home run call because of it. He said it pisses Yankees fans off because he uses it also for the road team. He doesn't just use it. Oh, he does use it. That is interesting. Did now know that. Yeah. I wouldn't do, I would not honestly not do anything that ticks off Yankee fans. I think Jesse, especially if I was to play by Blake, he's also, he's also a New Yorker. So I don't know that they really have it in them to kind of give in and back down to something. He calls you when a visiting team, he calls the visiting team, home runs different every time. But sometimes he does have a really depressed gonna go, sure, just like that. I think that's the moment the moment dictates it. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. I mean, if you want to hear some really depressed home run calls, pretty easy to find the Washington Nationals calls of Manny's home run and Pro Fars Grand Slam. The other night, that is some depressed home run calls. That is trouble. That is a grand slam. Well, the other one, they were just whining. Honestly, yes, they were. Well, look at those guys. Oh, man, he's jogging to for he's walking to first base. So is Pro Fars, Pro Fars carrying on. Oh, they're all coming out of the dugout like they just won some big thing. Winers. Hey, you know, leave my colleagues alone. Oh, okay. I'll leave your colleagues. They were going through it over there. Too bad for that. Having a tough time. No, they'll have their chance. Like I said, the Padres go to DC at the end of July, right after the all-star break. All right, we're going to get to the daily gamut shortly, but the NBA draft second round is kind of getting interesting now, because how you span it says, well, here's the thing. They're on the, let me see. They're on the 23rd, 24th pick in the second round, the 25th pick in the second round belongs to the Lakers. So they're only one more away from everybody finding out whether or not the Lakers are going to take Bronnie James with the second round pick. I take it. He has not gone. He has certainly not been drafted yet. They just put it up on the board. He is the seventh best available, according to whoever makes those ratings. And let's see, the Celtics just picked number 24, afford from Gonzaga, Anton Watson. So now the Lakers are on the clock, Tony. You must be telling me, buddy, because I'm watching right on live TV. So I probably am a little ahead of you, but the Lakers are on the clock. Oh, you're watching live TV too? Okay. That's weird. Okay. No, the, the, the, the fake just came. And so I'm watching the exact. All right. So we're pretty close. I'm a little bit behind. We're close. But anyway, let's just talk about, you know, first getting a Dalton connect from Tennessee, who was really one of the best players in the nation last year. If it wasn't for Zack Edie, you know, being who he was, this guy probably would have been the number one guy in all of college basketball. And I will say this, he put on a, he put on a hell of a show in the, in the, I think it was the elite eight, Tennessee got to this year and forgot who they lost to, might have lost even to Purdue and Zack Edie, I'd have to look at my brackets, but he personally put on a hell of a show and you get the feeling that his game's probably going to translate to the next level. And I like what everybody's saying about him, Tony, they're not really talking about him as a shooter. They're talking about him as a gamer and a hard worker. Those are the things that help make you a really good NBA player along with your talent. So. Yeah. He's a Hooper, man. That was, I was stunned when I got off the plane and saw that's who they got. I mean, his dude can play. He had, I think he had over 35 a couple of different times during this season. He can, he, the one thing you got to have if you, if you're drafting for a team that has a LeBron James and Anthony Davis, if someone that you could just plug in, like you don't have to develop, like developmental players don't work well with those type of players. And so at the age of 23, he's got some seasoning. He can be plugged in right away because his skillset transfers immediately and that is, he can shoot the rock and not only can he shoot the rock, he's athletic. He can slash. And so I think it's a, I don't know that they could have got a better fit for this roster and what they actually needed for this Blake or roster. So I don't know if they take LeBron or if they take Bronny James or not, but I certainly liked the 17 pick. That's a really good strong one. Well, we're going to hang on because the Lakers have to get their pick in the next 90 seconds. So I want to hold out and see if they get Bronny James, but you know, if Magic Johnson endorsed the pick, that's, that's a good start. I will say that, you know, the game I watched, which was the Elite Eight game, he's also capable of getting his own shot, Tony. And I know that with LeBron James, he's not going to have to do that as much, but he's, he can get up in the air for his jumper. He can shoot over guys and he's got a smooth release six, six, seven, six, eight. So I mean, we'll see. I mean, you never know a hundred percent, but it's looking good shaking hands. They got the pick in. Yeah. They got the pick in. Let's see who it's going to be. If it's Bronny James, this is going to be crazy. JJ Radick in the press conference, man, this was the best bleeping pick I've ever bleeping had in my life. Man. All right. So you're only crazy about your hilarious. Hey, you guys were over the swearing too. I still can't get over that. Well, then why are you swearing? Yeah. I mean, well, yeah. Well, get, you could get over it now. I mean, days ago, was it? I mean, you still ain't talking about that? Well, it just came to mind when it would fly. I am feeling more optimistic about JJ, I must say, I don't know if it's because he's already signed and has a leg or stuff on it. You have no choice, but to love him, just like, or just like I have to love the toss boozellus, whoever that is, but he was the number one pick of the Bulls and I think he's going to be the best player in the league. I have no choice but to root for him. I think we're going to get the news before you do Tony and we're going to get it right now. The chat spoil it. The chat. Well, don't say I'm not going to hold off one second. Is it Bronny James? Yes, it is it is Bronny James. They take him Tony with the second round pick. How do you like that? Tony speechless. I mean, I like it, but I do have like some concerns for him. I mean, that's a lot for that is a lot of that's a lot to put on and whoa, I think, I think he'll be fine. I think the Lakers develop. So I think he's going to, I think he's going to have a chance to really develop. The thing that I think about is like, what is it? Let's say he's, he ends up good enough like, and he's in the same locker room as his dad like, right? He makes the team and everything. Yeah, man. Maybe even not even at the beginning to see maybe if it's down the line, maybe if it's next year, like, what does that dynamic look like, you know, um, I don't think anybody has ever seen that dynamic in the NBA before, yeah, not just, not just LeBron and between the bride, but the teammates, how do they like, what is that's just, I can only think of one clubhouse that they've had to do it. It was the Mariners, right? Right. Griffin Griffin. You could get for seeing it. Right. I think if I don't know, if I'm JJ Redick, I put a call into a Ken Griffey Jr and ask him how did it work? I mean, yeah, you do something worse. All right. I think this pick is good for him, no, good, good for Brian. He got his name. That's exciting. That's all he really wanted. Yes. That's exciting. Now, do you think the work pick is more for LeBron or is it more for the organization? I mean, I think that if they didn't feel like he could develop them into something that could help them when they wouldn't have drafted. I buy that. I think at least that much is true. But I think also. I think it's close enough to where, you know, with LeBron, I can go ahead and do it. I think that LeBron being there helps that case, for sure. But you know, if they just felt like he just couldn't play at all, I have a hard time seeing them give up. I agree with that. I agree with that. And I'll be honest. I mean, second round picks do not just automatically make it on NBA teams. In fact, very few of them actually make it. So that is not. I was listening to, I was listening to Brony's agents tell, tell, what's his name? Rich Paul that I think the 2016 or 18 draft, like there's 22 guys that aren't even in the league anymore. And those are all first rounders. So this ain't even this, there's no guarantees, especially in basketball. I mean, I know oftentimes we focus on like the one, two, the three, four, five picks that typically don't. There are a lot of first round pickers picks that don't pan out for sure. All right. So that's pretty exciting news. Brony James is drafted by the Lakers. We will take a break. Check some traffic for you. When we come back, we will get into that promise to daily gambit stuff on Chris. Give me a second. All right. Take a second. You're not ready. What else is now? Wow. Wow. Cheeses. All right. Here's traffic. Time check. What kind of summer are we having this year? A family road trip summer, a beach bump summer, or a wake me when the sun's set summer.

And so I reached out recently, just like five minutes ago, I asked him if there was any restaurants around here that he would suggest, and he basically told me to go pound sand. I had a good laugh about that. Go pound, I don't think he said pound sand, did he? He didn't say pound sand. I didn't think so. I didn't think so. Yeah. That Don or Sillow guy, gotta help you out a little bit. Come on. You need a little help? Yeah. That's his town? I definitely deserved the... Oh, you deserved it. Isn't Chris' town anymore? Oh, he's there long enough. I mean, he said he hasn't... It was still nowhere to go grab some good food. You would still know what's true. Yeah. That's true. Chris kind of got me thinking about, you know, seafood and stuff. Help him out. Help a guy out. Get a nice lobster bisque. The lobster bisque. Maybe some clam chowder. Yes, please. You can't... Clam chowder. Yeah. I told Don the other night that the... Chris has been name dropping, Don. I've been dropping a little bit. So much. Well, I've got any elevator the other night. He's been behind the scenes a lot here later. Yeah, I've been over there. You've been coming back on and hanging out. Yeah. But he said... I told him I said the Twitter verse loved his home run call on the man named Machado. He got a lot of love and he was appreciative of that, but he also... He didn't say consider the source. I think somebody behind him said consider the source and he laughed, but I love this man named Machado call. Did you hear it, Tony? I did not. He said... Hold on. Hold on. Oh, you got to hear it. I mean, Jesse's was fabulous. You guys were on point. You guys were great. But he... His call, Don, really hit a home run himself on this. Listen to this, Tony, if you get a... Chris, you've got to give me a second. I'm giving him. I'm trying to stall. Trying to stall. He's like, "Have you heard the call scraping play it?" Play it now. Give me a second. Oh, you're still looking for it? I'm still looking for it. Oh, my goodness. All right. Have it on the fingertips, baby. Here it is. Here it is. And man, Machado should be able to make a pay. High-rise! Deep left field. Rinker back at the wall. Take that. Shizban and Machado. Pro for his firing up and he should be. They hit him intentionally. And then Mandy hits one out of the yard intentionally. And the Padres take a two-nothing lead. Ava, Vivapos! There you go. There you go. I love you. You liked it. It was good, right? Avapos, he said. How about, uh, Pro for the hit him intentionally. So, Mandy hit one out of the park intentionally. I like that. He's just out here law and ordering him. They hit him on purpose. That's right. Tom was playing sheriff. Tom was playing sheriff. We got some good play-by-play, guys. Yes, we do. It's fun to go through it all. So, great job by everybody on that game. That game's going to live on for a while. Yeah, it is. This is for sure. I mean, see, part of the reason why I'm hesitant to talk about, like, this is being an earmarked game, right? Because you remember in 2021, Jesse and I were doing, like, the... We were, like, keeping track of all the moments. Oh, yes. Yes. Wow. The book that was never published. We never published a book because the last two months of the season were, like, the worst, and, like, imploded. And so, I just, I don't know. I don't know if it's superstition or I'm just playing it safe. I just don't want that to happen again. So, these moments are great, but, uh, let's... Let's just let them keep winning ball games. We've hit on this quite a bit. Let's play. Let's get to this daily gambit that we didn't get to last segment. Do you like money? I think about money. A lot. Do you like money without doing anything? Uh, duh, winning. Do you want to make money while watching sports? I think Washington is immortal luck. Washington! Woohoo! If you answer yes, this is your segment. Just don't blame us when you lose. Nothing is ever your fault. It's okay. Take it. Gwen and Chris go through the top bets of the day in the Daily Gambit on 97.3 The Fan. Daily Gambit's our daily sports betting segment here on Gwen and Chris. Please, everybody, gamble responsibly. Uh, we had a comment on the chat, Tony, and I thought the same thing. People are, like, trying to scope out your room. It's kind of revealing when you do your shows from your hotel room, isn't it? Yeah. You know what? I've left this door, but I have to close it. Yeah, there we go. Now we're in a good spot. Uh, so we made these bets on Tuesday, and the first one we made was the New York Liberty minus five on the spread. Was that blinding? No, no, it wasn't blinding. People were just trying to see what was going on inside your room. No, Tony, I was doing the same thing. So I notice he stays in nice looking hotels, and I stay in when I go places. I notice that. I'm just saying where they tell me this. No, I know where they tell me to stay. It's not of your doing. Chris, is that like Hojo? Yeah, we're Johnson. They still have Hojo's? Actually, I read about this the other day. There's like only like two or three left in the country or something. I can't recall seeing one. No, we don't go to Hojo's, but we do have the corner market, uh, the market cornered on spring. Springfield Marriott. He's got spring fields. I know it's sweet. Yeah, spring field. I don't know. Yeah, at least it's those. But anything is better than what Adam Klug books us when we go to spring training. There's no question. Adam's the worst book of all time. The absolute worst book of all time. There's like caution tape around the places. It's like, sorry, there is actually a murder here last night, but you guys could stay here for a discount of the ring. My wife loves to come on that spring training trip, but even she has said I can't go anywhere. Yeah, Lauren literally goes into a hotel and says, even if it's, there's no vacancy, we need two rooms. She won't stay. She will. She will not stay at the hotel that Adam books from. Anyway, so wait, wait, is this episode vacation? Wait, what? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. It makes sense. Carry on. Carry the links, the Christos Minnesota, I chose Liberty, and the links actually won, so 94.89 Chris wins that one. It was the next one was, who's going to score more in the game? Collier or Stewart, Brandon Stewart, you said Collier. I said Stewart. Stewart had 24. Collier had 21. Close. Yes, it was close. The Nationals were minus one and a half run favorites over the Padres on Tuesday night. Christos the Nationals, I chose the Padres and the Padres won nine to seven. Then it was who pitched more innings? Kyle Hendrix or Adam Major, Christos Kyle Hendrix, I chose Adam Major. Kyle Hendrix actually went seven. Ended up losing. Kyle Hendrix has been pitching a lot better since they bought him back from the bullpen. Adam Major went five innings, so Hendrix wins that one. And then Mackenzie Gore over under five and a half strikeouts. Didn't even close. Both of us went over. He only had one strikeout in the game. You know, the other thing that happened in the game Tuesday night that we've, you know, so many things happen. The Padres snapped their streak of not being able to score more than three runs against the left-handed pitcher. So hopefully we won't have to bring that up anymore because they did that against Mackenzie Gore. And they also did it yesterday. They got, I think, four runs off the Hertz, the little lefty starter for Washington yesterday. So hopefully that, that streak of stuff is over. All right, here's we go for tonight. It's mostly WNBA. Las Vegas, ten and a half defending champs, favored at Chicago over Angel Reese and the Sky. Scrape. Oh, Vegas has been struggling for a defending champ, but they're probably better than Chicago. Yeah, I think the Sky are pretty bad, right? Um, I don't know. They're improved. The fever in the Sky are the two teams. I'm gonna go with Vegas. You're gonna go with Las Vegas because ten and a half points. Yeah. I don't know, just the old betting logic says you take the home team plus ten and a half. That's a lot. So I'll take Chicago. Tony, you want to get in on this? Yeah, I'm gonna take Chicago, too, on this one. All right. How about at home? Sure. How about Angel Reese? This is pretty impressive for a rookie. I mean, I must say, her over-under is eleven and a half rebounds. Well, she gets a lot of rebounds. That's like six or seven straight double doubles. That's a, that's a pretty big number. I'm gonna not do it again. It's playing on Las Vegas and she'll keep Reese from doing it. I'm gonna say under tonight. Hmm. Tony? Oh, man. Sorry. I'm looking at the USA soccer thing. Um, what was it? Yeah. No, she's gonna go under Angel. Yeah. Angel Wilson's no joke. All right. Yeah. Under. We both say "underscribe." You're gonna go under. Yeah. Oh, and then Clark and her takes her Indiana fever into Seattle tonight. Take on the Seattle. I think it's a storm and they're favored by nine. Oh, the fever. Who's favored by nine? Seattle's favored by nine. Okay. That's it. Tony's first on this one. Yeah. We're gonna storm on this. Go Seattle. Scrape. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Indiana's played better, but yeah, they're no match. It's a Western road swing. Always difficult. Uh, Caitlin Clark's over under for points to 17 and a half. Scrabby, your first here. 17 and a half. That's about her average. Yeah, it is. Average in 16 and 6. I think she's getting better. I'm gonna say over. Over. Again, always tough on the road. I'm gonna say under. She has a tough night tonight on the road. Tony. Yeah, I'm also gonna say under. I think, uh, if I recall, Craig, this was one of the guards that gave her some issues early. So I'm gonna say under. Okay. Uh, angels host the Tigers tonight. This is a game of Titans. Uh, Tigers are favored by one and a half runs. Um, the halos have some picture I've never heard of going in this game. Davis Daniel. So a young guy, Jack Flaherty, pitched really well. His last name is first name reversed. Yeah, he did. Daniel Davis. It says Davis Daniel. No, no, I'm not saying no, no. Oh, you're saying he has his name reversed. I'm saying he got it. Okay. Thank you. Okay. I'll take Flaherty Jack and the Tigers in this game. Flaherty Jack. Tony. Uh, yeah, we can take Flaherty Jack in the, in the, uh, in the Tigers. It's great. You're going with the. Flaherty Jack has been great. So Flaherty Jack, all of this one, Tigers. And the last one today, Carlos Rodon of the Yankees. Jose Barrios of the Blue Jays. They match up tonight in Toronto, which picture gets more strikeouts. Tony. Rodon. Barrios versus Barrios. Uh, Barrios. Rodon is struggling. Rodon's struggling. He, Rodon looked almost unhittable when he was here a month and a half ago. How about you? Yeah, I read about this. He was in tears not that long ago though, like the last week. He's struggling now. All right. I'm going to go Barrios. Barrios. All right. Just because I didn't know that he was struggling, I'll go through a dawn. Based on what I saw when he was here. All right. There's our little Daily Gambit stuff. Now we've got a new segment coming up next. Yeah. Another one of these. I have no idea how it's going to go. Yeah. Well, I mean, the last one you came up with wasn't that bad. All right. No, but I'm nervous about this one. Because it seems to me like you're going to be trying to pry into our private lives here. I'm up for grabs too. Is that what you're doing? You're prying into our private lives. I'm not going to go too far into it. This could go nowhere. I'm just saying. This could go nowhere. Because we did try something like this years ago, and it was called the hot seat. And the hot seat wasn't very hot because I couldn't ask the questions I wanted to ask. Well, is this they do one on TV on one of those shows where it's called Plead the Fifth. And what they do is they ask like five really embarrassing questions to the person. The celebrity. And then the celebrity can only plead the fifth on one of them. I've seen this show. Have you seen that? Yeah. I think it was on what? Singled out on MTV. I don't know what show it is, but maybe we should put a plead the fifth into this next segment here. I don't know how. No, I don't know what you want. I don't know what you're going to want. It's going to get you in trouble. I promise. What you said last time. We don't believe you. I don't believe you at all. Scraven. Just tell you. Hey, I'm up for grabs too. So all right. It's all coming up next. What do you got going? What do you got going on? Honestly, that's not what I meant. I know. That's not what I meant. We will explain. Sound kind of crazy. I'm going to go. I'm going to go cry in the hallway. And then we're going to play on the other side. That's not what I meant. Hey, welcome back. 340. 340 is the time. Chris Ello, Tony Gwen Jr. We're at 640 in Boston. And I guess since Donorsillo won't help you. Maybe we should ask people in the chat. Who might, you know, know people from Boston. He ended up coming through. He ended up coming through. He did the right thing. Not a boy. All right. So Tony's all set for dinner. Tony's all set for dinner. Scraven. I'll have to fend for ourselves out here on the West Coast in San Diego. I'm eating salad tonight. Salad for you. That's kind of been your go-to. Ever since the last days. Yes. Doing all of a job. The physical therapy told me I'm not allowed to be walking, taking walks. And I'm like, you can't take a walk because of the shoulder? Yeah, because apparently even when I'm not moving the arm, there are stuff in my shoulder that are being affected by the walking motion. So I'm not allowed to do that. You can run. You can walk like the girl from. It's first taken. What do you mean? I've seen the first taken. So, you know, when she runs to her dad at the airport, you know, she's running. Oh, yes. She doesn't use her arms at all. That is such a random memory. So, I guess you could walk like that and not use your shoulder. No, that's a strange thing. Even then, I guess you still. Yeah, I guess. Even then you still moving. I can vouch for Scrabie's shoulder recovery pain because not a minute goes by in the hour before the show when we're getting ready in the other studio. Scrabie doesn't just intermittently go, "Ow!" I can't do that on the show. Yeah, on the show, he can't really do it, but he's always doing that now. So whenever he moves in a certain way, it's just, he's always hurting. I can 100% see him. Hear him and see him. Oh, yes, he's doing it. Sometimes you can see me on the camera when I go reach for something and it hurts. I just go, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." The shoulder surgery, Max Scrabie, two and a half weeks ago, recovering nicely. The NBA draft is over, guys, and gals. I think probably the biggest news of it all was that Bronnie James was, indeed, taken by the Lakers in the second round. That will probably overshadow the other 57 picks that were made. Yeah. I will say this. Neither Keyshot Johnson nor Jaden Lede were drafted. However, according to Sam Scharena, he's a big-time NBA guy that breaks news like this. Keyshot Johnson has already signed a two-way deal with the Miami Heat, which means, I guess, you're kind of G League and Heat, and it depends which squad you make. So Keyshot Johnson is going to get his first shot in the NBA with the Heat. I imagine Jaden Lede will work something out similar with somebody. And, you know, I think you got to take a chance on Jaden Lede. I mean, some of these guys that were drafted are Stiffs compared to him, so please. Stiffs! Stiffs! Yeah, there. Well, I mean, that's to your point. That is why, or at least that's the rumor, why the Lakers got my man at 17th pick is because of his age. You're too old! Yes, that's 23. Yeah. He slides, he's the top 10 players slid seven spots beyond where he was, you know, in the realm of being because of his age, which is- That's a little crazy. The guy can come in and help you, like, right away. I mean, it's not like when you draft a rookie, you have to then sign him to a 10 or 15-year deal to make, like, if he doesn't work out, he doesn't work out, especially in the second round. Well, you can get a 21-year-old and have him go to the G League for two years, and then you get him when he's 23 anyway. Exactly. So anyway, good luck to Jaden Lede. I'm sure he'll latch on. He should. He'll get his opportunity, and I'm confident he'll prove himself. Keisha Johnson will get his shot with the Miami Heat. We'll check traffic, and then we'll take our best shot from Scrabby's new segment. All right, so I've been inspired because in studio, we have all of these different board games now, or at least the card games. We have one called Mind the Gap. I know that there's another one over there. It's like, who everybody knows. And the midday show, Annie and Elston, they do ask us anything. So I wanted to do a Gwen and Chris FAQ frequently asked questions because I do get a lot of questions about you guys, and then I bought a book on icebreakers, icebreaker questions, that I have also went through and found some of the best ones. So here's how it's going to work, Chris. I am going, you're going to roll the die since you love rolling the die. Okay. And one through four, it doesn't, five, six doesn't matter. One through four will determine who gets to go first with the question. Okay. Who has to answer the question first? There's only three of us though. But there's a, okay. Good point. Thank you. There's a Chris. There's a Tony category. There's a Scrabby category, and then there's a group category. Okay. So go ahead, roll the die for the first one. Six. Okay. Of course. Four. Four would be a group question. Okay. So the group question, this one's a good one. And you guys are going to have to answer. You know what, I know he wrote this down on the sheet, our sheet. I'm not looking at it. Okay. I don't want to know where you're going here. So have you guys ever been, so this was actually asked to me by someone. Have you guys ever been so mad at each other, the show almost ended? I would categorically say absolutely not. You recall the time? I don't know that the show almost ended. But I think we were hanging on threads for like a day, maybe. What? I'm not going to reveal what it was. I know Scrabby and I have gone at it a couple of times before a show. Yeah. I don't know that it would have ended the show. I think it was professional, so it wouldn't have ended the show. But it was definitely, it was definitely, you know, there was no talking in between segments. Let's just say that. And I had to go into the boss's office and they pulled me in there to like talk about it. I wouldn't say that we were close to ending. It was never that point, but we were, it was, it was a weird time. It was like within the first two years that like I think a lot of that was happening. Yes, yes, yes. I put it all on. I don't remember anything. I'll fill you in in the break. No, I won't because I'll fill me in. I want to, I want to think that it's all been wonderful the whole time. I mean, for the most part, it has. We've lasted six years together. That's a lot. We've had a few disagreements, but I would say that Tony and I, I wouldn't say this about you necessarily. You're pretty combative. But I don't think neither Tony or I are even combative people. No, no. No, no, but this one time I'm talking about, there may have not been combative, combativeness, but there was a time when there was frayed nerves. All right. Well, Tony, are we thinking at the same time? I think we are. Okay. Okay. Let me roll the dice again. Yes, we're going to get out of that one. Yes, go ahead. Four. Oh my gosh. Okay. I like these fours. The group was. Yes. We're all, we're all in. Ah, this is a good one. Oh boy. What a noise you most about our boss Adam. And this is a group answer. So we have to come to this together as a group. He's not listening right now. I can tell you that. And it won't go down recorded anywhere that he can't go back and listen. I doubt this and nobody listening to tip him off on anything. I guess they will. I guess I'll start. What a noise you most about our boss. I have a really easy one. Throw it out there. We'll work from there. I hate the emails that on articles that we most certainly have read. Like ESPN front pages? Yes. Adam wants to make sure that we know everything that's going on out there. And I think sometimes he forgets the fact that we also want to know what's going on out there. And that we do pay attention to what's happening. So he will email us something like. Oh, I'm on our phones in 10 minutes. Did you guys talk about Bronnie James yet? Yes. That's a perfect example. Yeah. I'm going to text Adam. Like I'm going to get a text from Adam tomorrow. Did you go to see that Bronnie James was drafted? Did you talk about him? Yeah. That is a perfect example. Yeah. I'll give you one more. And this is specific to me is when he sends me news about the Padres. Yes. It's like Tony, did you see that Fernando got put on the I.L.? That is. That's what it will. Some days it'll be like, oh, just barely put my phone down. But the nicest way to say this is it's only because he really does care. Exactly. Exactly. We wouldn't be joking about it if we didn't understand that. That's a good answer to that question. Sometimes when he runs into the room and he tells us stuff, too, and he's like, we all just sit in silence after he leaves the room. Or he's just hovering outside the window. Oh, that would be mine. Because I'm like, what do you want? No, I'm just kidding. Adam. What do you roll? Why don't you just stop while we were ahead? We had a really good answer at the beginning and then you can't throw everything else in. That's how I do it. That's how I do it. Number one, this time. Oh, that's a crisp question. All right. Here we go. That was the worst thing you have ever said on the radio. The worst thing? Yes. I don't know. It might have been the other day. No. I don't think that was it. I'm not going to bring that up. I think the, you know, to me, it was the only time I swore. You swore on the air? Oh, and it's changing the update. Yeah. When I did the sports update and I said that your dad was too hit shy of 3,000, but I didn't say it's in shy. He can buy the worst scary reverse to make a buy joke. That was embarrassing. I didn't hear that. Oh, yeah. It was right. Anyway, well, I'll tell you the full thing, but yeah, I just, it was not much I could do. Just came out that way. Did you get a talking to? No. Okay. All right. I think everybody thought it was by accident. I probably said a few, I think the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to was the time that the Golden State warrior guy who was drafted Todd Fuller was online, waiting to be interviewed and I, and coach and I were talking about him and I said, I don't know. This guy's going to be a stiff. And then the next thing is they brought him on the air and he's like, oh my God. He was waiting on hold for all those waiting on hold. I was like, oh my God. That's brutal. That is brutal. All right. Roll the die. Please. Okay. Five and sixes or two this time. Oh, that's a Tony question. Okay. Tony, have you ever stabbed a friend in the back? No, that was quick answer. Yeah. No, 10 toes down, baby. Nope. 10 toes down. What does that mean? I mean, you got if, if I'm your friend, I'm loyal, I don't, I don't, there's no stabbing in the back. I will agree with that with Tony. Tony's a very loyal person. Go ahead, Chris. Another four. You've avoided the three so far. Do we want to go with one for me? No. Okay. We'll get to you when we get to you. All right. Next one is if you could make a rule for our office, what would it be? I know what mine would be. Yeah. We could each go single early on. Well, I would just ask people to come to work. Chris hates the fact that there's nobody here. Yeah. Everybody's allowed to work from home. It drives me crazy. My rule. I have so many. Where do I begin? My rule would probably be only one person allowed in the bathroom at a time. Oh, yeah. This guy is such a weird. You are a little weird about that. I, I've seen him like almost bursting because he can't, he has to go to the restroom and he'll start to walk out and somebody will sneak in ahead of him and he'll come back in here for another second and he's already in total pain. I will. I will do that. Yeah. All right. One more. I'm really happy. He's not here during the off. Yeah, he's not. He's not. All right. It came up one. Oh, it came up one. I'm going to. Okay. We're going with the die. I'm getting out of this one. How many people, sorry, Laurie, did you date before Laurie? Oh, I don't know. Seriously? Seriously. Seriously. Like, I mean, seriously date. Yeah. Yeah. Not like go on a date, but like call the girlfriend. Maybe for. Okay. All right. That makes sense. Yeah. It's into my baseball and my. I'm not saying that it's wrong for you to have for it. Hey, I'm with you. I was into my baseball too. All right. Do we. That's it. All right. Nope. Nope. It just came up three. Let's get one in. Get one in. All right. What bothers you most about Chris? No, I'm just kidding. What is my most embarrassing drunk moment? I'm going to have to hold this one until after the break because I think we'll all come back to hear what it was. Yeah. It was pretty bad. All right. That's coming up. More Gwen and Chris plus Christopher's the fans to 8332880973. All right. So I've been inspired because in studio we have all of these different board games now or at least the card games.

Okay. To answer the question first. There's only three of us though. But there's a okay. Good point. Thank you. There's a Chris. There's a Tony category. There's a scraping category. And then there's a group category. Okay. So questions from all of us. Go ahead. Roll the die for the first one. Six. Okay. Of course. Four. Four would be a group question. Okay. So the group question. This one's a good one. And you guys are going to have to answer. I'm, you know what? I know he wrote this down on the sheet. Our sheet. I'm not looking at it. Okay. I don't want to know where you're going here. So have you guys ever been so this was actually asked to me by someone. Have you guys ever been so mad at each other? The show almost ended. I would categorically say absolutely not. You recall the time? I don't know that the show almost ended, but I think we were hanging on. Some threads for like a day maybe. What? I'm not going to reveal what it was there. I had no screaming. And I have gone at it a couple of times before a show that yeah, I don't know that it went into the show. I think professional. So it went into the show, but it was definitely, it was definitely, you know, no, there was no talking in between segments. Let's just say that. And I had to go into the boss's office and they pulled me in there to like talk about it. I would say that we were close to ending. It was never that point, but we were, we were, it was, it was a weird time. It was like in the, it was like within the first two years that like I think a lot of that was happening. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Nothing but delicious. I mean, for the most part, it has. We've lasted six years together. That's a lot.
