The Morning Shift on 92.9 The Game
WAKE UP CALL: What sport do you want to see in the Olympics?
Nothing is more important than getting a good night's sleep, and when you don't get the rest you need, your whole day is thrown off. That's why it's so important to choose the right mattress. Sleeping on a purple mattress is truly a unique experience, because purple mattresses are made with a gel flex grid. The gel flex grid is an innovative material that moves with your body to relieve pressure in areas like knees and hips, and support in others like you're back. It feels soft where you want it and supports where you need it. Purple mattresses instantly adapt when you move. You don't sink in and get stuck like with memory foam, and thanks to over 1,400 air chambers in the gel flex grid, you will sleep cooler on a purple mattress. Purple has a wide variety of mattresses from the original purple mattress to the Restore Hybrid Collection that combines gel flex grid with coils and the Rejuvenate Lux Collection, the height of luxury, with over 112,000 five-star reviews to prove it.

What's happening? All right. Good morning. How you doing fearless leader? Good, sir. Are you? Fantastic. Rob T. Good morning. And of course, let's put black men. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Layoff bow to you going in a little bit hard this morning. It was funny. With comedy comes casualties. Right, right. She's always good about laughing at her own jokes. I've noted that. That was a good one. Yeah. As much as I'd like to skull drag Landry Fields, I'm going to leave that alone and let somebody else have it. What I want to do is yeah, give a shout out to one Marcel Ozuna. I have been a person who's been on his bandwagon since he's pulled himself out of the personal problems in that slump. Last year, and I'm absolutely ecstatic to see him in the Home Run Derby and Rob T at plus 450 odds that $100 I got on him. I'd love to see him bring it on home. So any thoughts you guys have on the Home Run Derby? I love to hear it. And I'm going full Bo Morgan. I can't wait to see him go. Yeah, in the Home Run Derby. Oh, tax good nation. Which one? Gold Drag. I love that one. That's better in curb stop. You just remember this was a house that's called Billy Bill. Yeah, that's that's made a straw. When I heard when I heard the word skull, I go, Oh, don't button ready. As I know. Okay. Now it's different. What I will say. That's only for medical students. I would love to see if you a big flaw from the big bear. Oh, I'm John Sterling. No, that's that's what Brandon Godin's been doing too lately. But yeah, I'm I love the term Yikitty. It's the Chipper Jones term. I would love to see Ozuno. I just think it would be so cool to see him when the the Home Run Derby. And you know what? That's glad it's just good. You guys life back together. Yeah, I mean, redemption stories are awesome. They are. And I hopefully his is hopefully hit him. I do think though, gets his life together, enters a Home Run Derby. Let's hope it doesn't go like a Josh Hamels story where he goes back off the rails. All right, let's go to Coleman and Winder. What's up, Coleman? Yes, fellas were brilliant calling in right this morning. How you doing, sir? So I'm doing good. I just wanted to give a answer to y'all question over. I feel like Reese's Shay made the team taller just by himself already. So we we got those people to get longer to compete with Boston and to try to get to the finals. So my expectations are Eastern Conference Finals the finals next year. Yeah, that's how that's how I did it. I mean, I'm bold with it. I don't because because if this dude is Reese's Shay's nasty on the court, wait till you get everybody else in and we'll see what's going on. We just added a dynamic player. So I think he's going to do something. I don't know. Oh, bigger. Go home. We have a drug test listener after that. Oh, stop it. Hey, you leave Squid Nation along. Like, I appreciate the optimism. And I do enjoy when people have optimism. Well, it's easy to be negative. It is. It's easy. It takes no energy to be a contrary. Well, you know what bothers me the most about the negativity part with negative people is there's no risk, right? It's it's like, oh, well, I knew they were going to suck. I said it all along. And it's like, oh, so that's the only reason why that's your whole thing. You based everything on you don't want to have egg on your face. I'm willing to have egg on my face. I mean, look, no one had more egg on their face after the 2023 falcon season than me because I was all in on Desmond Ritter and it took and I stayed on the train longer than anybody. Yeah. And I have optimism. I do have I have a lot of optimism on what Risha Shea can be. And I am excited to see him. I just wish we would do more and it's tough to have can be completely on board with the optimism train when we see nothing, you know, not no major moves being made. And I don't understand how we expect to get better based on those. All right, we go to Daniel and Marietta. Good morning. What's going on morning show family? What's going on? Hey, Squid, Squid, go ahead and get the glad bag. And let's go ahead and dump the whole Atlanta Hawks front office in the trash. Landry field sounds like he's full of feces every time he talks. I keep saying we need a big man who's a dog. Right now we got one who looks like he drinks tea with his pinky out. So, you know, I don't I don't understand what's going on. It's disappointing. It's very disappointing day after day to just see them not nothing is more important than getting a good night's sleep. And when you don't get the rest, you need your whole day is thrown off. That's why it's so important to choose the right mattress. Sleeping on a purple mattress is truly a unique experience because purple mattresses are made with a gel flex grid.

Anybody can tell you what a good fantasy quarterback looks like, but it's the receivers that make or break your team. I'm Matt Harmon from reception perception. Join me and James Co. As we take a deep dive into the position that matters most wide receivers from the route trees to who plays better in man or zone, we provide the insights you need to draft the best wide receivers as you prep for your draft. Let us give you the coverage you need. Follow and listen to reception perception on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm kept building around trade. I mean, when are you when are we going to seriously start building around trade, man? I mean, you know, it's just ridiculous, man. So throw the whole front office and even ownership in the trash. Marcello Zuna is going to Death Pete Alonzo in the home run derby. I think we all know that. So go Braves, go Braves there. I wish we had more guys in the in the all-star game. But you know, that's all right. I'll take what we got. I'm having the rest, brother. When I drink Budwaz or out of a solo cup, I got my pinky. Pinky out. Yeah, but it's not tea. So it's okay because of Budwaz or Bud Heavy. I mean, it's like, you know, it's like you're drinking a yellow jacket, which of course original big. Well, I think he's I think he's talking about Capella. Okay, I thought he was getting at Rishishay. No, no, I think he's talking about Capella. Okay. Oh, he said big man. Yes. Yeah. The Zuna thing, you know, it would it would actually that's a really good point by Daniel about the Zuna in the home run derby. How sweet would it be to see him beat Alonzo of all people just eliminate Petalonzo just because he's so smart. Like Petalonzo played at University of Florida, and I don't know exactly where he grew up. I think it was from the north, but he is a smug New York type of person is the way he comes off and he plays for the Met. So I would love to see that smugness taken out of him because he thinks the home run derby is his birthright. Gary Chapman said our Tampa. Okay. Well, that makes a little bit of sense. Let's go to chief. What's going on, chief? Roll a derby, people roll a derby. That should be one of the summer. That's how that's a good goal. Yeah, roll a derby. I'm telling you, but let me get into this USA basketball like a real wake up call. I called you guys earlier this week and I said, but Kawhi Leonard is one of the most overrated superstars I've ever seen in my life. All right. So who's my point already? He's not on the team. Here we got Kevin Durant. Then we got LeBron James. Then we got what and B. So we got a lot of cripple all people play on this team. Something ain't right, people. Something ain't right. Maybe I'm missing something, but it all seems to be cripple, right? Cripple. And if we're there, we're just going to walk into Little Olympics and just win just because we USA this year, it's not going to happen. Now, I hate to be the one to kill everybody. It's a real spoiler alert. It's not happening. Let's get some of these younger guys in the Olympics sometime. Let them get their spirits, let them play. That's not hard about these certain players don't mix well because they don't play defense or whatever because you get over 150 points during the world championship 150 140 points like game. This is ridiculous. Let's get together. Wake up. I love it. That's a good call by chief, as always, member of Squid Nation. You know what? There's one more on the line. Well, we're going to get to them. I think Anthony Edwards is, I think Anthony Edwards has already spoke the truth into existence. I'm the number one option. And he's going to be when all is said and done, that's going to be the name that the world remembers off this Olympic USA men's basketball team. Let's book it. Mark it. Write it down. Say hello to squid billion. Good morning. Morning, everybody morning. That was good, sir. Yeah, I mean, I think I would love to see ultimate frisbee in the Olympics. I'd also love to see erosoft or paintball event. I think that would be a lot of fun. But I'm curious. I feel like what one event would you guys add in personally? I've been thinking about it. I love the event we did yesterday, which was axe throwing, which is what dial on and and Gabe dominated the the the week pairing of Garrett Chapman and Bo Johnson yesterday. I really give dial on and Gabe a lot of credit. Knife fighting. Ooh, knife fighting you at that point. Well, they've already got fencing. So why not? You know, you can have you can have swords and knives of all sizes. I would take that that knife that he had it. I think it was it maybe is a cobra with so that's just wrong with it. It had the spikes on the handle. I've got I've got that knife somewhere. The landmine event you run through a field and corn hole. I would I I'm with you on that. I love I love corn hole and I'm I'm good at that. You're gonna come watch me play corn on on tomorrow. Tiffany, I'll be gone. Oh, that's right. You know what? You can't even create your own shot in corn hole, brother. I sure can Rob dribble. You'll see. Rob, you got a good point. Remember that movie, Apocolipto? Yeah. Not landmine, but you got to run through a field in this this scenario. Not get hit by somebody's shooting arrows actually. And you got to not get hit. Oh my gosh. I think I can make the USA team for ultimate frisbee though. I think I really could. Oh, I think I played big time in college had my had my dew rag on my head. When do we come back here on the morning shift? Brave's four game winning streak has been snapped. We'll talk about it next here on Sports Radio. Nice to know the game.
