Whether you're just wrapping up the night shift or on your way to start the day, we got what you need. Welcome to the morning shift. It's the most mid-team in history. A whole new way to start your day, with nationally televised reporter Tiffany Blackman. Many pizza for me can be a personal. Can't wait. Former Falcons and Alabama offensive lineman Mike John. I have my budget by now seven a few times. You shut your mouth when you're talking to me. And Atlanta sports radio guru Bo Morgan. You know I am. I'm sweating. You tell them I'm coming, and hell's coming with me here. It's a new experience. And a new take on a sports morning show. The morning shift is on. Sports Radio 929 the game. Now here's Tiffany, Mike, and Bo. It is the morning shift, dribbling for Tiffany sports radio 929 the game on this lazy, lazy Friday, four day weekend for most. Big for yourself. What does that mean? What do you mean? It's busy for me. No, I'm not lazy. I'm in here talking to YouTube chumps. What do you, what's, what is busy about your day? I had to wake up at 3.15. Ashley, I hit the light snooze. I said, you know what? I was gonna say 5th July. I'm waking up at 3.45 in my life. If I seen a man constantly look for a cross to nail himself too. And that's sad. I'm a leader of a nature, Rob. Guys got the world by the balls right now. He just wants to, wants to bring it down. I mean, look at me. They asked me about the saggy. Mike, how are you doing? Living the dream, baby. Living the dream. You know what I mean? And this guy, well, it's not a, it's not a lazy day for me. I wake up. I'm a lot of things. Lazy ain't one out in chief. Rob, I, I have to admit, man, I was a little disappointed that you didn't have a comment about his shirt when you walked in. He's seen it before. Yeah, he wanted a handout. Not, you know, and I can't say it. I've realized now I can't give him one because he took all my hoist drinks out of my office. All right. I took like four of them. Four at a whole case. I come back. No, I only took five. The number keeps rising. I was like, by the end of the segment, I only took seven. Those are yummy. They are yummy. I need some more. You know, I totally do that to tweak you. And plus I was thirsty. Yeah, but you hung over every day. You came in from here. No, man. Well, gentlemen, a good fourth. I was a big pile of lethargic goo yesterday. I did not go good for you. Did I know I had to give kudos to my wife because that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to be very lethargic. Let the kids sleep as long as they want and do all the stuff. My wife's like, Nope, we're taking the kids to the Dunwoody fourth of July parade, which I was like, that's not going to be good. I love. I mean, but I will say the kids had an absolute blast. I mean, and they just, my kids, at first of all, it's the first parade they've ever been to. So they really, they love the fire trucks that they had the SWAT vehicle that came. Spiderman was riding in a convertible. My son about just absolutely took a deuce in his pants when he saw Spiderman. I think I would have liked that. Give me a SWAT vehicle in Spiderman. Oh, dude, I did it right. Actually, they had a parade of like, you know, corvettes come by, which, you know, like new ones and old school ones and yellows and blacks and silver. He thought that was cool. Convertible sports cars. That sports car. That's cool. So, man, it was that he actually even enjoyed that a couple of different marching bands, man. He actually really enjoyed that too. But I did not think that he would play in a trumpet one day. He's more of a tuba kind of guy. You know, I mean, he'd be the guy in the back when the tuba, that's all right. So the fat kid can always play the tuba. If he wants to, if he wants to play snare drum, tell them I'll give him lessons. I still got, I still got chops. He did love, he did love the drummer in the back that was bang. What do you call this one? Words, bass drum, up and down. Yes, the bass drum. Dude, he loved the guy in the back. The guy in the back with the bass drum was having trouble keeping up. You know, I mean, a little tire winded. He was walking, he was speed walking. Hey, I've carried that big drum before. It's heavy. How big was the bass drummer? Was he look like he should be playing a bass drum? He was the, he was the Charles Barkley version. He was the round mound of rebound, if you will, with the bass drum on his chest. But he just, could you have made him into a nose tackle? He was like, he was in the Olympic speed walking marathon, trying to keep up. You know, his legs were, were a yay high. I bet he was drenched, stayed in that marching band out. I was drenched. Yeah, I was drenched. Well, that's funny because Amy went to this. I went to the gym and I came back and Amy went to the store and she got, she's like, Hey, she's a, I think our buddy's Oliver and Kim, I think Oliver and Kim are going to the pool you want to go and I go, no? She's like, are you sure I go? Yeah. I was like, it's hottest ball, crap outside. And I sure craps any better. But yeah. And I was like, I don't want to go sit in it. Honestly, I, you know, I just, I'd like, I'm enjoying the, we just spent a whole week at a pool. I'm like, I'm good right now. I told Rob this last week when you were out, but I was like, man, I, I feel like when my kids are inside, it's my fault. You know what I mean? Like that my kids want to go play outside. And so I want them to be outside. But there, there has been at least two days in the last week where I'm like, no, we're not, we're not going out there. Daddy want to go for a walk and go to the playground. We'll take the power wheel. I'm like, no, no kid. Daddy's, Daddy's leaking right now. Daddy is absolutely leaking and losing poundage by the minute. Wait, what? He cares for a little bit. Yeah. Sorry kid. Daddy's drunk again. Yeah. Well, soon enough, kid. Well, as soon as you go to bed, that's what's happened. Yeah, none the last man. But yeah, it was a good, good fourth, man. Great fourth. We, we, we, we did it up in driveway, let the grill went to the pray. We did the whole bit, man. So I was exhausted last night by the time we turned in. So I remember growing up, we always went to the salute to America pray that WSB TV used to put on if the kid do that. And they, they prayed out like the B list, C list, D list celebrities, you know, oh, did they had a couple of those and done what he to don't get me wrong. And I don't want to name their names, but you're like champion of this event and Dunwoody. And you're like, I'm sorry, what y'all have that event and Dunwoody, like, you know what I mean? Like the decab champion for the cook off or something. You know, your yard is the grand marshal. You're like, okay, cool. Yeah, no, but they had a couple of those two. I just don't get off on the fourth. Like I used to, because I have fundamentally lost all faith in every institution in this country. We're not living up to the ideals. The middle class can't afford to live anymore. We can't afford to eat. We can't afford to play rent. We can't afford to have a mortgage. We're all done. We're screwed. Well, we know both of our presidential candidates are good golfers in their own mind. They told us that. So that was interesting. I'm going to say let's not go political radio. No, always, always, always like, always like when you can bring sports into a political debate vice versa. And that always makes me feel entertained. But you know, I wouldn't be political. I was talking about real life. I know, I know, I know. But that's where we're at right now with everything. So it was one of those deals where I'm normed. The fourth of July is like my favorite holiday. It's right there Christmas for me. And honestly, it was one of the hotter fourth of July as I remember in a while. But I think because it fell on a Thursday and I just came off vacation and I was just like, you know, recuperating from the vacation. Still. Yeah, honestly, still I am on household chores. And yeah, I just thought to myself, I was like, you know, we go to the pool and hang out and then go to our buddies for a cookout that we're having. And by the time the fireworks get here, I'm going to be like, you know, I don't want to use Mike's term, but maybe leaking or just just like a big pile of goo. And I was like, let's just rest up. Let's go to the cookout, watch a little bit of the fireworks. And then I'll go, you know, I go, I actually missed a good fireworks. My buddy does because it was so late. I was like, it's not 45. I got to go home. I know we can, we can now we're allowed to buy stuff that it looks like we're attacking Fallujah. Well, it's funny, it's funny because when I was trying to go to bed less, I went home and I went home early than everybody else. And even Amy stayed out for more fireworks. And I'm sitting there with the dog and I was like, man, it feels like I'm going to sleep in like Baghdad in early 90s. I guess like, it was like everywhere. Now, look, it doesn't bother me. I'm fine with fireworks. It was just kind of wild how it was, it was pretty much constant until I fell asleep. We had the one neighbor on our street that used to set him off a rear and every parent of little kids in the neighborhood would just be, I rate about it, including myself. And so that guy has moved and moved on with his life. And we were like, thank God, thank God we don't have to fight that battle today. But I love people. I love people do it. It's just, you know, when you got a two year old, it's just not the, not the best thing in the world. Well, the Braves bass had none. How sick. I am so sick and tired of seeing the Braves drop two out of three, the teams that are hovering around are right below 500. Yeah, it's, um, it what's really frustrating is the fact that when you had as good a pitching as you did in that series and you still lose, um, you know, if Charlie Morton's going to go out and give me five and two thirds to six innings, which he gave you five and two thirds last night with 300 runs, I should be chucking that up as a win. That's a massive win. Not this year. And I know. And that's the problem. You think all the hate that Charlie Mo gets, he's been pretty damn good this year. And in fact, I don't want to hear a word about the Braves pitching until they get a guy that can play the corner outfield and hit more than 160. Um, and it's, it's, I'm going to have another one that's batting, uh, Eddie Rosario's available. Yeah. Back in person, 160. I can't wait to, I can't, and, and, and Grant had to address that Wednesday, like, I don't know who needs to hear this, but I don't really think you want to go down that road again. Like, and then I'm not going to capture that lightning and about everybody is Jesse Chavez, dude, but you know what? Here's what would happen. Rosario would come in here and he would be hot for a week. And then you would, and then by the time the trade deadline guy, now maybe that, maybe that would work. But by the time the trade deadline gets here, you're still going to, you still need a piece that you still need that. I know Grant's not big on him, but a Tommy fan type of guy who's going to give you some pop a little bit. Jared Kellnick, I'm going to add my first question for day for granted eight 20 is when Michael Harris comes back, where in the order is he now hitting? Because if you move Jared Kellnick, I am going to be upset for the first time in a long time. I don't think so, but it's a valid question because you know, you have, you have, you have found, he has found his home until Ronald Acuna is back next year. He's found his home at one. And then I think he might want to put him at two. Rob, I had a stat coming in here that actually I got from Brad Roland yesterday that blew my mind talking about the Braves, blew my mind talking about the Braves last night. You've given us a horse to ride. That is it. We will. We will continue that conversation.

Morning's on the game means more of the morning shift. Nice. On sports radio 929 the game. It's been to be 622 on this Friday, July 5th. Welcome back to the morning shift, dribbling for Tiffany. Braised drop two out of three to the Giants. Billy's coming to town. It's a big series. You know, I know that I've got it that day when I get weird looks and I make Rob laugh. If Rob gives me a weird look or he laughs at anything I say, I'm like, oh man, what do you think? You think him looking at you weird is a sign that you've got it that day? It's it's it's my default position with you. It's the no, it's the Rob, like the Rob, like I roll smart. And if Rob's I rolling and smirking at me at the ridiculous, as I'm saying, then that means you're heading in the right direction. Yeah, because I mean, have you heard what triple, what comes out of triple's mouth most of the time, Mike? It's a little bit crazy. Yeah, so it was built for one word Wednesday, which we'll bring back probably in the fall, but so if he gives me a look like that, I know that I'm like, I'm like, oh, well, gentlemen, we can do this because Mike Johnson has he's prone to do. Oh, he's a satellite kittle lady. He said a number that blew him away. What was said number? What say you, sir? 27. All right, that's the number right 27. I got to give credit to Brad Roland because I was listening to him last night talk about this. And I was I was like, you're a big Brad Roland guy. He like Brad. I like Brad Roland. He knows his stuff, man. I was listening to Brad say this and he's he drops his stat right here. All right, the Braves, 27 straight games dating all the way back to August, I mean, I'm sorry, April 17th, 27 straight games. They have lost when their opponents have scored four runs. Yes. When their opponents have scored four runs, four runs, I'm not talking about eight runs, nothing about nine, nothing but 12, four runs. They've lost every single time when their opponents have scored four runs in the last 27. Yeah, the last time they beat the Astros, five to four, the time they won a game when they come in, that'll make you vomit. That's that's that shows you right there. Well, that shows you that anybody want if you have anyone standing here and telling you why that their rotation is a weak spot. And it's an issue. You need to tell them that they don't watch the game or they need to re uh, they need to re up their talking points because they're from 2022. That's what you need to tell them because the hitting has been the number one thing. And look, we talked about it, Rob, uh, on Wednesday, right now it is easy to look at the back end of this lineup and say, Oh, that's not good enough because it's not because, you know, Arcea has, when he's in, he's not been good. Right now he's still out with his tooth issue. And then you've got, um, Adam Duvall doing whatever he's doing. And with Michael Harris being out and, and, and so Cal is Calnick and a couple of guys on each side of him. And it's not very good right now. Calnick's like the most energetic feisty gal in this entire roster. It seems like they're sleepwalking through the season. You know what he is? He's a, he's a jock Peterson type personality. Well, here's, here's how I look at that though. He wasn't here last year. And it feels like he's the guy in the lineup that feels against something to prove. Yeah, he does. He's not riding the hotels. I mean, he was, he, I told the story a million times on here. I drafted him in fantasy baseball when he was in minor league. When he was in the minor leagues, that's how good he was. And I think when you look at it, you're killing it because not riding the coattails of what happened here last year. He's saying, dude, I got to go out and prove to, I need to be a part of this team. Well, Chris sells it the same thing if you want to go there. Yeah, no, I agree. And so is Renato Lopez. So is, uh, Grant Holmes. Oh my gosh. He's been so good. The, the, the him coming in for Charlie and the sixth thing last night and getting those two outs was massive. And he went into the two innings, I think, got to that. I want to see how they responded this series. Because I think this series could tell you a lot about the mentality of this team. Yeah, I don't think it's going to prove the ultimate end game. Because like I said, three years ago, this is a team that had some acquisitions. They're going to run in August and scratching claw their way to 500. And since they were so battle hardened, they were ready for the postseason. Yeah. What's going to happen this year? What are the, is it going to be Cody Bellinger? Now, his name is being better to Bell. Is it? I mean, like my thing is this, at what point should we expect changes to be made in the way these guys are approaching their ad bats? And that's been the most frustrating thing to me. And I know that I expected it probably earlier in squid. And I had this conversation Rob through through weeks ago where I was like, I need to see more actual small ball being played. I need to see when you have a runner on a second hitting a ground ball to the right side of the infield so we can move the runner over. And this team is so boomer bus as far as the long ball goes, as far as hitting for power that, you know, a lot of times in years past and even, you know, as recently as May that when they hit home runs, it felt like they won the game. It's just not that way anymore. All the home runs, they hit her solo shots. There's nobody on base. They don't hit runners in scoring position. At what point do they say, you know what? Maybe I don't need to hit one over the fence. Let me foul one or two off and see if we can move these runners over and get these guys home. How many, how many balls have there were normally home runs have not been home runs this year? A lot. There's something with the baseball. I'm not excuse making you still got to come through with a base one and the gap to score runs. It's no longer a conspiracy theory with baseball when they've openly admitted that they've doctored baseballs that they've juiced them some years and not the other. But I'll say this, the situational hitting is what is disturbing for me. This team is all the last three to four year really this whole run under Seneca has been a team where it's like, if you needed a hit, they were clutched. The situational hitting was always really good. And it has not been that way this year. Alston Riley has now gotten hot. Matt Olson hasn't been cold and he hasn't been hot. He's just been and and now that it was. He's been boringly missionary position is what he's been. I was going to say something. I want some reverse cowgirl from this lineup. What do you want from it? Well, I think there's a couple of what Jared County has given you the reverse cowgirl. I mean, I think everybody else is is not, but what I was going to. Or Mike is like, he's just homing along. And when I need my when Michael Harris comes back, I need him somewhere in the sixth to nine range hitting in the lineup. The whole I told you didn't mean we didn't need a Dansby crowd kind of thing about how RC was just as good if not better. Yeah, I don't think so. I really don't because whatever Dansby is or isn't doing in Chicago, I know what he did here in his last two to three seasons here. He was amazing. And RC is so phenomenally good with his glove and his bat is just you're seeing why he was he was pushed out of Milwaukee. Why he was a backup on the 21 world series team here. I love the guy, but it is turning into a black hole at shortstop from the place. Look, I'll go there with you a little bit, but can we just we need to back off that just a little bit. If the Braves and Alex looked at Dansby and said, we think there's dude, you know, he'd do some regression in his offense at the plate and his had bats and we don't want to pay him 25 million because he's probably going to regress. I think that's fair. It was. Hold on. It wasn't about regression. It was about the price. It was never about the regression. They go hand in hand. They don't want 25 million. They could have paid Freddie right off the bat what they wanted to know. And he wasn't going to regress. Now, Freddie left completely completely at the end, but you knew when this is the same thing as a guy with max free. So are they predicting a regression from max free? I look, I love Alex. I love Alex. No one's a bigger Alex and topless fan than me, but his crystal ball is a lot better when it's basically reviving players careers than it is. Well, this is what I think they're going to be in a couple of years. It's always about where the player is going to be age wise at the end of the contract more for Alex because we have given up on years on prom because they didn't want to pay guys in her late thirties. Like I said, man, I have no problem with the fact they didn't want to pay Dansy what Chicago has been paying now. He could have been differently in a braised uniform. Sure. Maybe, but I, but look, what does he make? It's 25 million, 20 million, something in that ballpark. Okay. You're not getting that. You're not getting the offense that you thought you would have out of Dansby out of our seat. You also were near themingly had an all star shortstop land in your lap last year. So I think, look, I mean, I think we can go say Dansby this Dansby that I got bad news for you too. When Michael Harris comes back in the lineup, he's not going to be the savior either. I don't want him to be a savior. I just don't want him to be an automatic out. Well, I keep to your point. I keep seeing people on social man when we get Michael Harris back. We shouldn't have Forest wall and all these guys at the bottom lineup. Guess what? Michael Harris wasn't knocking the cover off of it. Michael Harris was getting, was, was, was having on a hot streak. He was really starting to find his groove like he did late last year. The people don't expect him to come back and be, be hitting 600. What they don't expect though is seven, eight, nine, you might as well just, you might as well just say it's like an automatic walk. We're like, go to first. They just might as well walk up and have the pitcher throw three pitches. And then he walks back to the dugout. That's what seven, eight, nine are right now on this lineup. All right. Since let's hear from Sean Murphy about when everyone gets healthy, he's not going to yell at us like squid is. Sure. Yeah. I don't miss it. Mike, you know, stinks there at the top of the lineup. But, you know, we're going to make doing the time, the time being and the sports more runs. Yeah, make just wake up from a nap. Just make that is like, is, is this, that's a somber post game locker. Is Travis Darno rested enough from playing so much early in the season because I've seen about a month of Sean Murphy and I like him too. But I think Darno needs to get more of the starts right now. Listen to your point about Michael here. I feel like Sean Murphy is finally in the last week or so as far as started to hit the ball a lot harder. I mean, he, to me, he asked. Listen, by no means you're 400 hitter, but let's take it for what it is. Darno was great. I mean, it was like a, he was like a firework. He was great for what he was asked to do. But I mean, I'm cool with letting Sean Murphy get. If we're going to let everybody else in the lineup build up to where they're somehow hot in August, let's let Sean Murphy do something. But there are options. You have, you don't have options in his other places. You don't have options at third. You don't have options at first. You don't have options in the outfield. You don't have options. Ozzy's not being, you know, Ozzy is the most protected player in this city, I think. No one gets a free pass more than Ozzy for the things he doesn't do at times at the plate. And he's had some bad at bat, some bad. There's been a lot of bad at bats. Dude, he had a couple balls last night though. I will say, I don't know how he hit the single he had later in the game. I want to say it was maybe the sixth or seventh inning. He hits a ball off the ground. I mean, off the grad, the ball might have hit home plate had he not hit it. And he hits it off the ground and somehow gets it out of there. And I just, I thought to myself, maybe that's him, you know, being able to put the bat to the ball and those, those crazy kind of pitches that Ozzy's really been known for over the, over the span of his career. And when all these fans want to celebrate, not paying guys, hope you celebrate it next year. And when you don't have Spencer Strider to start the season, you don't have Charlie Morton because he's retired. You don't know what Renato Lopez is. And Max Fried starting against you in either Philadelphia or L.A. Because that's happening. And that's the guy that should have been damn well paid already. And he hasn't. And that is not Alex's fault. That is the, that is the, what he, that is the formula that the ownership group has given him that he has to play with him. That's the problem. Five million the most frustrating thing last night. I'm watching the game, seventh inning, what Braves are down four to two. I go, they're not going to do anything. Last year, I was convinced they would do it last year. But last time thinking, I'm fist pumping when Grant Holmes gets out of that inning, he gets Charlie Morton out of the inning. I'm going, but for what? Why am I that excited? Because I don't see any of them. He has a good story laboring in the Marley's for 10 years for finally getting a shot with those epic locks of his. Well, Forrest Wall, did you get a sack bun? I think you got two. So all the small ball fans can can celebrate with the loss. That's what it takes. If that's what it takes, you should do it. Didn't do anything, did it? Coming up next course, we have the Peachtree Road race yesterday and it reminds me of the one, one of the most epic and hilarious trolls of all time in sports, specifically the marathon that's coming up next. This morning's shift sports radio night to night again. Don't touch that dial. This is the morning shift. All of them are really, really hot on sports radio, 92.9, the game. Now listen up. Now let's take a look at what's going on in Tiffany's world. The same front with TB's timeout on the morning shift. Brought to you by maximum cash homebuyers.com. Fair cash offers for as is homes. Don't waste your time with repairs. Call 678-902-2000. This is actually all about trouble because Tiffany's not here. Trouble in for Tiffany. Oh, by the way, I will be in all week next week for Mac. You are? You know what I mean? Yes. Better come ready to talk. Is that what it is? I think you need to keep your own house in order for you to start. That's it. Contemplating other people's house. I don't have a house. I have a nation. That's okay. One nation. I don't even walk out of this room right now. Don't even walk out of this room right now. Just another failed state to talk about. Yeah, man. I'm headed on vacation though. Where are you going? I mean, we're going. So it's basically Gulf Shores. It's a little bit west of Gulf Shores Fort Morgan. Yeah. Very familiar. A bit more desolate, I'd say. You know, but we're going down there with a big old group, a wife's family. So it'd be a lot of fun. I think we got upwards, somewhere between 20 and 25 big old house down there. So don't. In one house? Yeah. No way, dude. Uh-uh. No way. Well, it's an 18 bedroom house that I didn't, I was not in charge of booking. So 18 bedroom. Yeah. Well, it's actually a duplex, not on each side. It's good. It's massive. I'll show you all. It's it's it's massive. Tony Montana's house. This is sounding more Florida every time he's keeping talking. What do you mean? It went from a house. It's really just a duplex. Yeah, it's just a 9 room. It's a Fort Morgan alabama. It's a plex. Listen, if Fort Morgan is one of those places, you better hope you don't have to go to Publix. It's picking anything up to cook with. Do they have a Publix or is it a pigly wiggly? They don't. I love segally wiggly. It's it's, dude, if you can't get it at the at the at the dock, you know what I mean? Where there's at the warff down there, you're gonna have to hunt and gather for your food next week. Yeah. That's what you say. You want to get everything before you get to the house. There's going to be a Costco stop along the way for sure. Are you guys Publix for Kroger shoppers? Or are you like a rotator because now it's gotten where it's Aldi in a ladle. Yeah, you know, yeah. I've always been a Kroger guy and yesterday my buddy that cooked out and I was like, hey, can I bring anything? And he forgot, I guess, like most of the toppings. And I was like, and so I did the he's a Publix guy, and I know it. And I said, yeah, you want me to go to Publix or Kroger? And he's like Publix. And we actually have a listener who loves all of this. Her name is Ms. Pearl and she she works at the Publix. But I know every time I go in there, does Ms. Pearl, does she make the sandwiches? No, she works up front from what I hear. I've never gotten to talk to her. But everybody's like, you better get in there because Ms. Pearl was asking about you know, I'm like, and I work out with her sons at the the gym I work out at. And they're like, dude, I'm almost to see you. Do they skip like day like you do all the time? No, they actually do like day. You can tell. No, I'm a I would say I am a post guy based strictly off location. Yeah, that's why I'm a Kroger guy. That's why I go to the Kroger because it's a little bit more convenient from you on my way home where I live in Sandy Springs. If I come out of my neighborhood and go out to Roswell Road, I could turn left and be at Publix in a half mile or turn right and be at another Publix within two miles. Like they're that close to one another. That's crazy. You're on vacation. You should probably just give your address out. Yeah, I do have a house sitter though. House there's I'm gonna talk on that in Fair Foul House. Is he armed and dangerous? Just dangerous for to say publicly? Yes. I don't know. But I will say publicly. Yes. Just in case. Just in case I need to. All right, Peashree Road race. What'd you say about the I don't remember. I just know probably a Kenyan one because they are just genetically hardwired to be one of the distance runners because of the altitude of their country for one thing. First off, I would tell you that Abe Gordon did not win. He was only the the stunner upset of the day. But I'll tell you he was only like little a little over 30 minutes off the pace of the winner and a boy Gabe. It's amazing. You look at Abe, but you think, well, if a bumblebee can fly, certainly Abe Gordon can run. It's the same aerodynamic principle. He looks like a bumblebee without the wings like a giant bumblebee. Because bumblebee is going to have their own body. You should wear a bumblebee costume. Did you imagine him in a bumble? That's the best thing I've ever heard. That's why he should go for Halloween as a giant bumblebee. Do you go around like he can go around like putting his butt out trying to sting people? Dude, I'm weak right now. That was funny, man. Anybody that's ever seen Abe Gordon, that makes so much sense. Oh my god, that's funny. The first six men's finishers were Kenyans. The winning time from Sebastian, I'm going to butcher his last name, but Saul way. Saul. I've been saying Sal. I don't know. Was 28 minutes, three seconds. I think Abe Gordon ran in like 58, 40 or something like that. What game? But seven of the top 10 finishers in the men's division were Kenyans. One American finished tenth Joseph Trojan. Congratulations to him on finishing the top 10. The women's top time was 31 minutes and 12 seconds. Nine of the top 10 women were Kenyans and one American who finished tenth Susanna Sullivan. And I taught you that Eritrea is actually a country in Africa. You had don't. Yeah, that the making stuff up. The seventh the seventh finishing man I'm never going to try to pronounce his name because there's a lot of S's and in the last name, but it's Yaman Halas Alasi. I believe is how you pronounce it. I will go with that. And he's from ERI is what the country Eritrea and I said is that a country and Rob goes, yeah, it's in, uh, it's in Africa. It's in East Africa and I go, no, it's completely thought he's BS. Why? Because you look at me like you roll your eyes and I'm like, is this real? One of the things where Rob just talks and he just makes everybody believe him because he's so, you know, and apparently it is located right on the Red Sea, which you have informed me is indeed not red. I don't know that he's so sure about that. Is it red or not? I don't know. Yeah. I was going to say I didn't I didn't hear as much, you know, believability in the voice when you said that one. The Eritrea one was that it would appear to be blue. There you go. Light blue and dark blue. It's not red because the red tides kill fish. Don't think you've been to Florida. I think the beach is red here. The coastline. I don't know. Hell, I don't know. I don't know. I've never been over there. Oh, I do an outdoor wedding in Destin during red tide down there, and everybody by the middle. Yeah. Smell? No, it gets in your throat. It makes it hard to breathe. What is it? What is it? It's just like stifles the oxygen levels in the water and kills fish. It's not good. I don't know. I don't know. For some reason, something becomes airborne and it makes everybody kind of call. Now I got a Google. What is the red tide? You can continue while I do this. So I ran. I've run the Peachtree road race once. 1984. I ran it. Didn't even train. 1984. Yeah. I was. I was in high school. I didn't even train. After that, I spent, I had always had friends that lived along the route. So we just go there and have mimosas. Yeah. And watch the Ken. Everybody. They're just so incredible to watch. How can you maintain that pace? You ever ran it? No. I ran it. I ran it. I ran it once. I think it was like 15 or 16 mean big Hugh Douglas, ran it. Yeah. I remember that. Yeah. Hugh. Mike, you carried Thor's hammer the entire way. And I would, I would get way up on front of him and then I'd be like, oh, I want to, I wanted to run it with you. So I would come back. And I think Hugh said to me, he's like, you know what? I've gained respect for you. Why? Because they'll hand you drinks as you go down it. And someone handed me a butt heavy and I chugged it in the middle of the race. Now that was nowhere. Yes. It was kind of racing. It was nowhere near as high as it was yesterday. But I chugged it and he was like, I can't believe he drank that whole beer. He goes, that was butt heavy. I go, and it was freaking delicious. You just wonder how you didn't cramp up midway through. Well, throw up. Peachtree road race reminds me of the one of the most epic, hilarious trolls. Ever perpetrate, I think in sports in general, it was a 1980 Boston marathon. This woman, Rosie Ruiz, came out of nowhere to win it. Nobody knew who she was. It's like, how this happened? Nobody had any idea who she was. Well, what Rosie Ruiz did, she took the subway, got off the subway about a mile before the finish line, and then finished the race and got all the accolades, good morning America, all just the most amazing thing. But she finally got exposed because there was a freelance photographer on the subway. You know, I saw her on the subway. That's awesome. But she was like a profoundly mentally ill woman. I think she had many, many problems after that. But that troll, it was the funny. The level of outrage just cracked me up. What year was it? 1980 Rosie Ruiz. There's a good documentary about her, too. Dude, that is pretty good. I admire that so much. Imagine the cones. That kind of cheating. Oh, yeah. Just over the top blatant, unapologetic cheating. Why wouldn't she why wouldn't she have like a track suit and maybe like a mask, a ski mask on or something? Or maybe have some jumps the track suit into a trash can as she gets off the subway? Yeah. I mean, you know, kind of do like a Clark Kent thing. Like she goes in a phone booth and comes out in her outfit and she just starts drinking herself with water. For a guy that prides myself on being a rule follower, I do love that story though. I do love that. Tiffany will be disappointed in you. I know. You know what? The thing is, it sucks. It sucks out of the mentality because I'm thinking about the person that should have won and got all the accolades. Of course. I'm like, man, poor person. At the same time, I'm going. But they're part of the story now. Nobody would even. Yeah, it's true. The only thing about it. Red tide is an algal, algal bloom. Yep. And it occurs when colonies of algae, a simple ocean plants live in the sea grow out of control. Out of control. I don't know how they got into my lungs and everybody else is at that wedding house. Probably. Imagine trying to start trying to listen to the whole thing and then everybody's going. Wow. It's probably some kind of odor or like, you know, substance that puts out. Well, if you want to sue the ocean, this hour is brought to you by Morgan and Morgan injured higher Morgan and Morgan America's largest injury law firm. Sue the ocean. What do you want to do next? It doesn't matter. It's Friday. It's just technically still a holiday, a long holiday weekend. Let's talk about how the type of pace the Falcons offense may play with in 2024 pace pace pace coming up next on the morning shift sports radio. 99 again through the ocean. Don't touch that dial. This is the morning shift. All of them are really, really hot on sports radio. 92 nine the game. Now let's take a look at what's going on in Tiffany's world. The same front with TV's timeout on the morning shift brought to you by maximum cash homebuyers.com their cash offers for as is homes. Don't waste your time with repair. Call 678 902 2000. This is actually all about triple because Tiffany's not here. Triple in for Tiffany. Oh, by the way, I will be in all week next week for Mac. You are? You know what I mean? Yes. Better come ready to talk. Is that what it is? I think you need to keep your own house in order for you start. That's it. Contemplating other people's house. I don't have a house. I have a nation. That's okay. One nation. I don't mean to walk out of this room right now. Don't want to walk out of this room right now. Just another failed state to talk about. Yeah, man, I'm headed on vacation though. I mean, we're going. So it's basically Gulf Shores. It's a little bit west of Gulf Shores Fort Morgan. Yeah, I'm very familiar. A bit more desolate, I'd say, you know, but we're going down there with a big old group, a wife's family. So it'd be a lot of fun. I think we got upwards somewhere between 20 and 25 big old house down there. So don't in one house. Yeah. No way, dude. No way. Well, it's an 18 bedroom house that I didn't I was not in charge of booking. So 18 bedroom. Yeah. Well, it's actually a duplex. Not on each side. It's good. It's massive. I'll show you all. It's massive, but Tony Montana's house is sounding more Florida every time he's keep talking. What do you mean? It went from a house. It's really just a duplex. Yeah, it's just a nine room. For Morgan is one of those places. You better hope you don't have to go to Publix. It's picking anything up to cook with. Do they have a Publix or is it a pickle wiggly? They don't even know. I love technically. It's just it's dude, if you can't get it at the at the at the dock, you know what I mean? Where there's at the Wharf down there, you're going to have to hunt and gather for your food next week. That's what you say. You want to get everything before you get to the house. There's going to be a Costco stop along the way for sure. Are you guys Publix for Kroger shoppers or are you like a rotator because now it's gotten where it's all doing a little. Yeah, you know, I've always been a Kroger guy and yesterday, my buddy that cooked out and I was like, Hey, can I bring anything? And he forgot, I guess, like most of the toppings. And I was like, and so I did the he's a Publix guy. And I said, yeah, you want me to go to Publix for Kroger? He's like Publix. And we actually have a listener who loves all of this. Her name is Miss Pearl. And she, she works at the Publix. But I know every time I go in there, does Miss Pearl, she make the sandwiches? No, she works up front from what I hear. I've never gotten to talk to her. But everybody's like, you better get in there. Because Miss, Miss Pearl was asking about you know, I'm like, and I work out with her sons at the the gym I work out at. And they're like, dude, I'm almost to see you. Do they skip leg day like you do all the time? No, they actually do leg day. You can tell. Yeah. No, I'm, I would say I am a post guy based strictly off location. Yeah. That's why I'm a Kroger guy. That's why I go to the Kroger, because it's a little bit more convenient from you on my way home. Where I live in Sandy Springs, if I come out of my neighborhood and go out to Roswell Road, I could turn left and be at Publix in a half mile or turn right and be at another Publix within two miles. Like they're that close to one another. That's crazy. You're on vacation. You should probably just give your address out. Yeah. I do have a house sitter though. House there's, I'm going to talk on that in fair foul house. Is he armed and dangerous? Uh, just dangerous for to say publicly? Yes. I don't know, but I will say publicly. Yes. Just in case, just in case I need to. All right. Peashree road race. Um, what'd you say about the, uh, oh, remember, I just know probably a canyon one because they are just genetically hardwired to be one of the distance runners because of the altitude of their country for one thing. Yeah. First off, I would tell you that Abe Gordon did not win. Uh, he was only the stoner upset of the day, but I'll tell you, he was only like little, little, uh, over 30 minutes off the pace of the winner and the boy Gabe. It's amazing.

Because bumblebee is going to have this round body. You should wear a bubblebee costume. I imagine him in a bubble. That's why he should go for Halloween as a giant bumblebee. They should be the upbeat from the old, uh, game. You go around like, you can go around like putting his butt out, trying to sting people. Dude, I'm weak right now. That was funny. Anybody that's ever seen Abe Gordon, that, that makes so much sense. Oh my God. That's funny. Um, the first six men's finishers were Kenyans. It's winning time from Sebastian. I'm, I'm going to butcher his last name, but saw way, saw, saw. I was, I've been saying south. I don't know. Um, was 28 minutes, three seconds. I think Abe Gordon ran it like 58 40 or something like that. What Gabe? Um, but seven of the top 10 finishers and the men's division were Kenyan, uh, one American finished 10th Joseph Trojan. Congratulations to him on finishing the top 10. The women's top time was 31 minutes and 12 seconds. Nine of the top 10 women were Kenyan and one American who finished 10th, Susanna Sullivan. And I taught you that Eritrea is actually a country in Africa. Yeah. Don't. Yeah. Um, that the making stuff. The seventh, the seventh finish in man, I'm not even going to try to pronounce his name because there's a lot of S's and, and, and, and the last name, but it's Yaman Halasalasi. I believe is how you pronounce it. I will go with that. Um, and he's from ERI is what the country Eritrea. And I said, is that a country and Rob goes, yeah, it's in a, it's in Africa.
