Anyway, we're going to hour number two at Gwen and Chris. Good to have you with us. Good to be around on a Monday. You know, back at it here back home. Padres. Yeah, they did. They lost it. They lost the series to the Rockies. It's been that kind of a crazy season. So many unexpected things have happened for the Padres that have been a thumbs up. I mean, the list is almost endless when you think of things that have surprisingly happened good for the Padres. They've taken the season series from the Dodgers for one. They won 19 out of 22 games for the first time ever for two and they've had so many incredible individual performances along with the fact that there's seven and one in extra innings a year after they couldn't win an extra inning game. I mean, so many things have been good. Then there's that one bugaboo, the Rockies and it's been all year. I mean, the Rockies swept them here and now the Rockies end their streak of eight consecutive series wins over the weekend and they did it yesterday, Scrabby by a score of three to two. You know how many three to two games there are each year at course field about two. I was gonna say not many. Very rare. Do you get a three to two game at course field? Musgrove looked all right. You know, he's starting to, I am very encouraged with what we've seen from Joe, his first two, you know, starts coming back. Hoeing finally gave up a run and I'm not gonna, you know, criticize the guy for that. He's been absolutely perfect. There was a little bit of a bobble on that ground ball and right field by Peralta cost him, but you know, Stallings basically just hit a 15 hop ground ball that happened to go into left field and that was kind of the big hit and then as Tony pointed out, Tony's run downstairs to take care of a couple of things. He'll be back. But as Tony said, you know, Tyler Kinley and Victor Vodnik is not, you know, the eight, nine closed down assassin team. Normally, the yesterday the Padres could barely touch a man. He hit the home run off, uh, Kinley, but otherwise Padres, you know, rolled right over and ball game. So it happens. Rockies take the series, give them, you know, credit. They'll probably go and lose their next 20 games. But it was so annoying about everything of this series and the match up the entire season, basically was they always say, Oh, well, the Rockies just returned home after losing eight of nine on the road. I'm like, wow, I know they lose a very good team against the Padres. They have some pretty good players. Tovars are really good. Doyle's good. I mean, he climbed the wall out there on Friday night, made a big play. And Rogers is a gold glove winner. Tolia, the first baseman's young, but has 20 home runs. You know, we know the McMahon is a dangerous guy. I don't know why they never win a game, but usually it's because their pitching is so unbelievably bad, but it just wasn't that way against the Padres. You know what makes you nervous for tonight is the Padres are facing a pitcher making a second ever start. Yeah. And that usually doesn't go well. You know what? I hate to agree with you in general, but I'm going to agree with you. Padres don't seem to figure out young guys they've never seen before. You want an example? The guy who pitched yesterday for the Rockies. He was only making his second or third start. There you go. And they barely touched him. Blaylock. Yes. Blaylock. That's it. I mean, let's be honest, whoever Blaylock is, he wasn't good enough to make the Rockies, you know, two months ago, if you weren't good enough to make the Rockies, what does that say about where you were at? I'm saying, you know, they bring him up and the kid pitched OK yesterday. And now it's Zebi Matthews tonight. Yes. Second career start. I'm seeing on the chat that some people are saying maybe it's the Padres attitude. I can't I have a hard time believing that the Padres are getting surprised by the Rockets like an arrogant attitude. Maybe just like, OK, we don't have to give 100%. I don't think that's I don't think that's it either because they keep getting beat by the Rockies. They know the Rockies are good enough to beat them. Yeah, I'm sure I'm pretty sure the Padres are pretty tired of losing the Rockies. Yeah, I'm pretty sure they are. I mean, I understand the thought of maybe there is some relaxation, but I don't think that's you might have been able to say that when they lost earlier in the year, but you couldn't have said that this weekend. No, they've been so hot. Yes, they've been playing tremendous ball. There's no way they wanted that streak of series to end against the worst team in the Nash. Yeah, they were about to set a franchise record. Yeah, they didn't want that to happen. The Rockies beat them. And that's just annoying. So yeah, Rockies return home after losing 153 of the last 154 and the Rockies go out on the road where they'll lose 153 their next 154, but they won over the weekend. Yeah, you're right. Bradley Blalock yesterday, Zebi Matthews today. And you know what, if I was the Padres and their fans, I'd almost rather face Greg Maddox and Bob Gibson, because at least they seems like we know those guys and we're able to do something with them. You know, I'm doing a pregame today. So everybody stay tuned for 540 PM for that. Yeah. And Sam gave me the Zebi's real name. So I will reveal Zebi's real name. Zebi has a real name. Zebi is not his actual first name. All right. These days, I have no idea. So everybody's going to know his full first name. Yes. For booing purposes out at the yard tonight. For booing purposes only. Like I said, Tony's off. We're actually, or everybody's trying to find out, you know, what the story is with us on Kim right now. So, you know, as soon as Mike Schilt says it, Tony will let us know or somebody will let you know, Mike Schilt is supposed to meet with the media at 330 today. So it's like 20 minutes from now. We'll all, you know, kind of hold our breath a little Kim is not in the lineup tonight. Tyler Wade will be starting at shortstop tonight. So, but no, no official aisle move has been made. No transaction has been made, as far as we know from the Padres. So that's it. That's all we know about us on Kim right now. He did leave the game yesterday, jammed his left right shoulder, diving back into first base, and immediately felt enough pain to basically run off the field. Yeah. You know, that's not a great sign. It's not a great sign. So he ran right to the clubhouse and, you know, so it's a show. I mean, I would assume that means a dislocated shoulder jammed is what I'm only going to go with because nobody said dislocated. So jammed. Okay. But I'm not doesn't mean it wasn't. Just means I don't know beyond the fact that they said he's already dealing with a shoulder injury to begin with, I believe, right? Like he's been dealing with it this season. Tony is hoping and thinking it's not a big deal. He might miss a couple games. I'm thinking it might be a tad worse. So we'll see which, you know, I'm not a doctor, but I play one on the radio. I do love sometimes when these guys on Twitter, like, no, come on. Oh, well, you see this angle. It's like you have zero idea. Even if you are a doctor, you don't know. I know. You just, you know, you saw the injury. You don't know anything beyond that. You haven't seen any imaging. The only person I pay attention to in that world is Stefania Bell, because she you believe her for ESPN because she doesn't like say, Hey, this guy is going to be back then. She tells you everything that you need to know about the injury. Well, I'm glad you believe in Stefania Bell, because you said this. And now I'm going to back it. What point I'm going to piggyback on what you just said. What? Stefania Bell wrote on Twitter the other day, okay, that she is very concerned about Joe Burrow and his ability to bounce back from these wrist injuries. Does not expect Joe Burrow maybe to ever really be Joe Burrow again, at least not for a while. My goodness. So that is going to be a test of Stefania Wells. She's never that drastic. So it's pretty drastic that out. Pretty drastic, really believe it. Well, we'll see if Joe Burrow and like, is that enough to scare you off of Joe Burrow if he's available in the eighth round of your fantasy draft? Maybe possibly. Yeah, she's she's pretty good. She's pretty good. She's brought to you by floor and decor. Unbeatable prices unmatched in stock selection. Floor and decor has more styles of laminate, vinyl, tile, wood, and stone for anyone looking for the right look at the right price. Your next beautiful space is at floor and decor. That's floor and decor. Unbeatable prices unmatched in stock selection. I don't like that, Scrabie. I love it. Floor and decor is easy to remember. My first read of that, and it was flawless. It's not a hard one too. Flawless. It's not a hard read. It's not like the carry-underwood read. That's that's a little bit more advanced. If there's any, you know, if there's any bobble, you'll be there on the record button. So I can't take any chances with that. We can't do daily gambit now. We're gonna have to do it next segment. But we'll do it next segment. I do have a question from the chat. I it's actually not a question. It's just a statement from someone saying, Wade playing over Donovan Solano is just idiotic. It isn't. Okay, it is. Well, here's the thing. It's not because Mike Schilt is going to play defense and who- Donovan Solano is not a strong defender. No, he's not going to play shortstop. Exactly. The only thing you could do right now, if you don't play weighted short, is to move two people out of position. And I don't think, at least for the short term, Mike Schilt wants to do that. So you're going to move chrono work to short. You're going to put Solano or a rise at first. You're going to move Bogart to short. You're going to move chrono work to second and then a rise to first. You're going to move Manny to short and put Solano on third. I think Manny's short days are over. I'm just saying. Those are the other options for anybody who says it's dumb to play to play Tyler Wade. I'm telling you, if this goes for a while, if this is like a two and a half, three week deal with Kim and we don't know, we'll know here soon. But if it's two and a half or three weeks, then I think you'll see somebody shift over, play short so that Solano can be in the lineup. But for a day or two, you're going to play defense. You're going to put Tyler Wade at short. And unfortunately, Solano is going to have to come off the bench. So thank you, chat, but not accurate this on this occasion. I understand the thought and Tyler Wade, he's not a bad player. He just really hasn't gotten as many opportunities. Every time he plays, it seems like he goes two for three, except for maybe yesterday, and he's he does something during a game when he's in there. He's done a pretty good job. I think he's been okay. Tyler Wade's been very serviceable. He's okay. We were I'm happy with him. I would love to get Solano in. So I get where you're coming from, but to get him in, you're going to have to move pieces around. And I don't think Mike Schult wants to do that, at least not for like one day or two days. Do you really want Zander Bogart? I mean, I know that he's capable of playing short stuff. That's where he played his entire career, but they moved him for a reason. Do you really want to give him that taste of short stuff again? You want to put him there and Cronin worth a second and arise at first and then have three guys out of position? Yeah, good point. It's too much. It's too much. Yeah, that's a good point. You know, defense matters. If you don't think defense matters, you know, look at the game Friday night. Doyle climbs the wall. McMahon stabs a hard ground ball, starts a double play instead of a two run double. I mean, defense matters. You know, defense wins championships. All right. That's, that's a little over the top because I don't agree with that. I feel like you got a score, too. Well, yeah, but I'm just saying defense is capable of giving up zero points. Defense matters. Thank you, Scrabie. We'll do a daily gambit after we check some traffic. Traffic's not ready. It will be at some point. It'll be ready. So just stick around for it. It's coming up. We have the daily gambit. Then we have fair or foul. And I'm telling you, it got crazy. So it's all coming up on Gwen and Chris. We all belong outside.

So he re-changed his name. Yeah, he's not the sheriff. He ran evidently. He's Chris Cowboy Chris in Minnesota. He re-branded, which is probably a better spot for him. Either way, he's not healthy. No. So we won't see Chris Paddick this week as the fans have arrived to play the Padres tonight. It'll be the rookie Zebi Matthews second career start, Michael King tomorrow. Bailey Ober. Probably nobody knows anything about Bailey Ober. I'll tell you one thing about Bailey Ober. He's six nine. Yeah, he is a tall guy. Maybe the tallest pitcher in all the baseball. He'll pitch tomorrow night against Martin Perez. And then kind of these strange 340 start time on Wednesday for Simeon Woods Richardson, another rookie. Matt Waldron to round out the series. Let's play some daily gambit right now though, Scrabby. Do you like money? Do you like money without doing anything? 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 your game. Take it. 1 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 winning Chris. Please gamble responsibly before we get into a baseball coverage on 97.3. The fan is prevented by presented. Not prevented. We won it. We won it. Let me start this one over.

Use their savings calculator to find out how at T-Mobile.com/switch. I was not here, so you take it over. I got a few picks over the weekend. Friday night over under Padre's Rockies was 11 and a half runs. I went under Rockies 1-7-3, so it did go on now. Dodgers at Cardinals had to take the Cardinals plus a run and a half. You want me to do root for the Dodgers? I won that one even though the Dodgers won, it was 7-6, so the 1 and a half runs paid off. Seattle at Pittsburgh. Friday night, I took Seattle minus a run and a half. Why? Because Paul Skins was pitching for Pittsburgh. I didn't want to root for him, but I should have. Skins in Pittsburgh won five to three, so I lost that one. He gave up first inning or second inning home run. He gave up an early home run, but otherwise pitched fine. He's 7-2 now, and you know, it just is what it is. I'm not going to get riled up again. Also on Friday night, Katelyn Clark, 19 and a half points against Diana Tarazzi and Phoenix. This was kind of a delicious one, because remember Tarazzi was the one that said, "Oh yeah." Who does Katelyn Clark think she is? He's just a kid. She's going to be coming up here playing with all these stud players. Well, Katelyn Clark put 29 on her and went well over the under over, and here's the thing. Diana Tarazzi and Phoenix has not beaten Katelyn Clark yet this year, so Diana Tarazzi's taken the short end of that, even though I think she was just trying to be honest and maybe wasn't the best of times. I gotta say, Katelyn Clark keeps getting better. Way better. Way better. You're right, Scrabie. Of course we had to do some pre-season football. Oh, of course. Even though I think it's ridiculous, Adam was here, so we did Baltimore 1 over Atlanta. I took Atlanta for Adam. Okay. It didn't matter because Baltimore 1 by 1, so is a push. Miami 4 and a half over Washington. I couldn't understand why any team would be favored over any other team in a pre-season game. So I took Washington plus the 4 and a half. Miami, though, 1 by 7. And San Francisco was 1 over New Orleans. I took New Orleans just so I could you know, stick it to you, but San Francisco 1 16 to 10. You know what? My at the airport yesterday, my mom goes, Hey, 49ers are playing tonight. Not really. And I said, no. And she was like, what? Why aren't you excited? I'm like, I'm not even gonna watch it. And I ended up watching it. Yeah, I did. You're a fan. I am. I watched the dolphins game the other night to have played the first series, five for five through a touchdown on a fade, fourth down. They called the fade my favorite pattern in football. It's the worst pattern in football. But he hit it that time. All right. And which is kind of bad. Yeah, because it means next time in the regular season, they'll call it again. Yeah, it's not gonna work. Exactly. Yeah. All right. What do we got for tonight? Oh, I don't know. You're in charge of that. It's up to me. All right. What we got for tonight is a mess on my sheet. No, there we go. Brandon fought Arizona tonight, pitching at Miami, six innings over under Scrabby, Bob has pitched well. He's in a second year. Yes, he has. Diamondbacks got swept by the way over the weekend in Tampa Bay. That is pretty crazy. They're going to help the Padres move ahead of them. Uh, fought. Mr. fought against the Marlins. P F A A D T. Yes. Just like it sounds fought. I'm gonna go over, over, um, yeah, I'm gonna go over to Miami's not very good. Uh, Padres twins. This is a very low number for over under tonight. Seven. That is a very low the rookie pitcher. But as we said, the twins don't, or the Padres don't seem to hit rookie pitchers as well as you would like. Yeah. I'm Pekko Park effect. Dr. Fark. It's over. Come on. It's a seven runs. Geez. Oh, I thought you meant it's over like it's over. No, I'm going over. Oh, I'm gonna go over to. We're both going over. I'm gonna be, um, cautiously optimistic nine to four tonight. Just put some runs on the board. Have some fun out there. Dodgers home to the Mariners tonight. Dodgers are favored by one and a half runs. Dodgers are three games up on the Padres right now in the N. L. West is Logan Gilbert pitching for the Dodgers. He is not. Okay. He's certainly not going to pitch for the. Yeah, I know he won't be pitching for the Dodgers, but the Mariners is not either. The matchup tonight is Gavin Stone for the Dodgers. Brian Woo for Seattle. Really? Yep. Well, I gotta go to Mariners. I can't root for the Dodgers. Are you kidding? Michael King tonight, six and a half strikeouts. Oh, over. Wow. We're both just screaming over that time. Well, Michael King has turned into a pretty good strikeout pitch. He and cease may end up one, two in all a major league baseball. That's by the time it's done. I got one tennis one for you. Oh, great. Yachob center, the number one player, Yonic center, Yonic, Yachob, Mr. Center is going up against American Francis Tiafo in the finals at Cincinnati. Oh, yeah. It's a big tournament. It's a big eat best of three 22 and a half games over under over under 22 and a half. You're basically betting whether you think Tiafo can take it to a third set. I'm gonna say under and center. I'll say over. I think we agreed on every other one. So we better disagree on that one. We did. All right, coming back next, Tony rejoins us for a rollicking edition of fair or foul. Some people out there in the world have been very foul. And we're going to call them out on it. Except for a couple of people who are very fair. And we're going to pat them on the back. You'll see what we're talking about. It's all great fun. Next. Yeah, I guess it's I was trying to think of something else clever, but I don't have it. So we'll just go to perfect. Yeah. All right. Stop and heard anything update wise on Hassan Kim from the Padres. He's not in the lineup tonight. We know that, but we don't know anything else as far as, you know, severity of injury. How long you might be out. I usually know, we'll let you know. I usually look for. Scrabby, you're usually right on this stuff. So I usually look for the Padres to put up a post that says like we've made some moves, but nothing yet. That is good. That is a good sign that they haven't made a transaction. Yes, which would be the likes of Hey, we put us on Kim on the 10 day IL, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Exactly. Has not happened as of yet. Yes, correct. So hopefully it'll just be, you know, he's not playing tonight. We'll see how he feels tomorrow, et cetera, et cetera. But we don't know anything official. So stop worrying about it for now. We were having a major debate on the chat today about what they should do with the infield. This is not a major debate. I mean, what do they want to do? Quite honestly, they want to do a lot of, a lot of stuff. They want to change over like all five positions. The Padres are not going to do that. The one that I, the one that I see having Solano play third, Manny DH, but Manny needs to be a third. Manny has said that he wants to be on my field. Why don't you take Manny off third? He's the greatest player ever. Like in the history of the game. Did you see Don Vitzlano last week? I made two plays. I'm not ready to dust off a spot for him in the Brooks Robinson defending Hall of Fame. Yeah, I'm not saying Ava is wrong, but I have appreciated watching the game. I appreciate you guys all trying to come up with solutions. Yes. But hopefully it's only a few days. And if it is, Tyler Wade can play short. Just fine. Thank you. Let's get to traffic. And then we have an addition affair or foul. We've had a few additions to this. This is the best one yet. I thank you on the traffic. Now, as we head into this next segment, I want to do something right now in honor of our, one of our best friends, Scrabby and Tony. And one of our best friends is our guy, Sam Levitt. Oh, yes. Tonight, he is the play by play voice of the San Diego Padres for baseball. He's calling his first ever major league game, making his debut. After years being in the minor leagues, it's a big moment. So for Sam, I offer this. There's a long fly ball deep down the right field line. Is it fair or foul? Scrabby, take over with the fair or foul segment. Wow. Chris just did that off the top of his head, everybody. That was pretty good, Chris. Well, thank you for the intro. That's what you call freestyle right there. Yeah, that was that was free. So you were like B. Rabbit right there. I'm just trying to do my Sam Levitt and B. Rabbit. Do you know who B. Rabbit is? What? Moving on. So I kind of found some things from all over sports. And there's some Snoop Dogg trashing. There's also some Mets trashing, some Cubs trashing. But we're going to start with the Padres. I did see this over the weekend. And it's not like the craziest opinion, but they said this. I actually don't want the Padres to win the division. It sounds crazy, but there is something that brings me joy like nothing else. A Dodgers first round by in the postseason and a Dodgers first series exit in the postseason. Please don't win the division, Padres. We want to see the Dodgers fail yet again. Tony, fair or foul? Foul. I knew he had a large like it was a foul ball the moment it came off the bat. All right. I mean, we went over this last week, I think, while you were gone. I can't remember who our guess was, but it was suggested to him. Chris, you remember who our guess was last week? Um, my Rob Bradford. No, it might have been. Yeah, he did a great job by the way. I think it was. Yeah, I do like Rob Bradford. Yeah, it's good. Um, yeah, it's I get it. I get the fake. That's not fake. I get the people uncomfortable with is in how the records of those teams with buys that happen. But this reason in particular is stupid because, um, you know, the Padres want to win a division. Everybody wants to win their division. And just so you can laugh at the, the Dodgers having the first round buying and not winning does not guarantee the Padres getting as far as we want them to go. This kind of goes back to focusing on what your team is doing versus worrying about what the other teams are doing. Um, Padres win a division. That's a big deal. Padres haven't won a division and since '06, yeah, two bets. That's, that's a crazy amount of time. And it's basically been the Dodgers and Giants winning it with like a one or two diamondback sprinkled in there. So, uh, they probably want to get on the board there. Chris Fairfell, really? You're asking me? Yeah, because you, you think that this guy, can you think I could see this being fair? Yeah, I think you could. But when I, when I wrote this or not wrote this, but when I copy and pasted this over, I thought Chris could agree with this. Yeah, well, he's not. This is so stupid. I can't even begin to tell you. Um, I take everybody back to 1996. It's fucking dirt back time. Thank you, share. Um, that year, the Padres and Dodgers entered the final weekend of the season, both having clinched a playoff spot. The question was, is which team was going to win the division? What year is this? I'm sorry. 1996. Both teams had already clinched. One was going to be the division champ. One was going to be the wild card. Everybody knows that one of the great memories in Padre history is Tony's uncle, Chris Gwen. Coming up with the big hit to help complete a sweep on Sunday afternoon and give the Padres the division championship, which they celebrated right there on Dodgers stadium's field. Ooh, that would be fun. It didn't matter who was the, the winner, the, the Padres wanted the division and the excitement of dethroning the Dodgers was incredible. And it's going to be the same around here if we win the division this year. All right. What happens in the playoffs beyond that is, is, is anybody's guess, but to tell me you don't want to win the division, you're not thinking clearly. They actually hang divisional banners. Yes. They get a, you get a unique color for divisional. I don't know the wild card ones. I don't know if they hang the wild card banners, unless you actually have to, but you know, I'll take my chances with a division title and a buy every single time. Yeah. Never mind the fact that the Dodgers can't do it. Banner schmamer. All right. Let's move on to the next. What did you write down or? No, no, it sounds like it's coming from you. No, but there's not coming from the fertile mind of Matt's grading. No, because I wouldn't, I would never bring this to you guys from my mind. The fertile mind, I'm not really, really even sure what that means, but let's move on to the next one. It's about the Cubs. And this person, it was on like one of those Cubs blog sites. And they said the Cubs spent so much money on Craig Council and the media buried the Brewers, or I'm sorry, this was from a Brewers site. The Cubs spent so much money on Craig Council and the media buried the Brewers before spring training even started. Cubs are three games under 500. The Brewers are 20 games over 500. The Cubs are in third place. The Brewers lead the division. The Cubs made Craig Council, the highest paid manager at baseball, and they have nothing to show for it. Fire Craig Council and move on from this terrible decision. Tony Fairfell. And this came from a Brewers thing. I can't actually remember anymore. She's Louise. I'm gonna look, I'm gonna go look at the article, but I go ahead. It kind of has an impact on what I'm gonna say. All right, hold on. Here's what I'll say. History. Cubs. Here's what I'll say. Cubs, Cubs, Cubs. Came from a cup. Yeah. Okay, that makes more sense. Yeah, I mean, listen, let's be, let's be 100% honest. Cubs didn't have that really good with a team. I mean, even when you brought that Bellinger, nobody was like, oh, yeah, the Cubs, they're just gonna run away. It was kind of like, yeah, I can see the Cubs winning. Oh, but you know, I can also see the Cardinals bouncing back. You know, oh, with the Brewers are always pretty good. It was never a deal where Craig Council was gonna come in and all of a sudden, just make that roster way, way better. Now, you can make the argument that they overpaid for them. I'm sure that's probably had a big factor in why he left Milwaukee to go to Chicago because they did overpay for them. In terms of the Brewers getting kicked or beat down or ever to bury, you know, as this, you know, they were, they were upset that they had a manager that they never thought would leave to go to the Crosstown rival and they were wrong. So there's probably a little sour grapes there, but I'm sure they're feeling pretty good right now the fact that they're leading the division. So I think I don't, firing Craig Council stupid because it was never going to happen in the first place in terms of them just mowing down this division. Yeah, Chris, it's a it's a fair ball, but it may one of these days be caught at the top of the fence and brought back. And what I'm saying is right now, Craig Council season with the Cubs is an unmitigated disaster. I mean, for them to pour out the kind of money they did to steal him from Milwaukee and then get run away from him, the division by Milwaukee. Do you even know that they don't have a good team? Well, they look. I mean, I think both teams are pretty similar on paper coming in. The Brewers lost a lot of players. You know, the Cubs didn't really lose guys. They didn't they didn't add a whole lot to it. I think it's a disaster to hire a guy for that kind of money and get beaten the way he's been beaten by the team that let it, you know, that they took him from. However, there's another season. There's another couple of seasons. Craig Council could wind up on top at the end of all of this. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. And to fire him, it's a little ridiculous. Craig Council started with some pretty bad Brewers teams. And then by the time he left, they were pretty much the perennial contender in a central every year. So what you're saying guys is the long play is the way to go. Indeed. I'm just saying it might be. All right. Let's go to Olympic coverage opinion. This country reaches new lows all the time. And I am no longer surprised when something happens that allows our society to stoop even lower. NBC decided to hire a former criminal term mumble rapper to be one of the hosts of the Olympic Games Snoop Dogg. Why is it so easy for me to see and so difficult for the Neanderthal executives to see the flawed logic in their decision? Tony, why are we celebrating a guy who has many skeletons in the closet? I mean, fair foul, really. That was his question to everyone, but fair foul in this comment. There's a lot in there. Did he give me the last part? He's a fair foul that he's criticizing the hiring of Snoop Dogg. Correct. Um, I think it's foul. Was there a difference between Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart? Not technically, I guess. They both were criminals at some point. Yeah. Yeah, that's what yeah. So I mean, yeah, I think, um, society has changed a lot and Neanderthals, those are the old ones, right? I would think that Neanderthals wouldn't want a guy like Snoop Dogg, kind of out to the masses, but I just think that, you know, despite some of those so-called skeletons that he has, he's also done a lot to change his image in terms of, um, understanding the people he's reaching, the kids that he's reaching. And so, I think this is a, um, I think this is foul. I think this is foul by, uh, said writer. And, uh, yeah, I think most people enjoyed, if not all, enjoyed Snoop and his, um, coverage of the Olympics for Shizzle. Chris. I like that. Chris, fair foul on this. Uh, it's foul. It's foul. Snoop Dogg is lovable and he's one of the great success stories in American pop culture to come from where he was to where he is. NBC was just taking advantage of that. Now I did read varying reports, but one said that he made nine million dollars from NBC. Um, they probably should have paid him more because I'll be honest with you. If you're going to put Snoop Dogg on a television screen with Mike Turico, there's only one reason I'm going to watch. It's for Mike Turico. No, it's for Snoop Dogg. That's it. I'm surprised that your hate for Mike Turico is not outweighed. You know, you wouldn't just turn it off regardless. No, I watched Snoop, man. He cracks me up. You know, he might have been over exposed in the Olympics, but that's not his fault. Uh, he was just funny and everything he did. I had no problem with it. I think that that number sounds about right. Because if I don't cover our car, he was like 500 grand a day. Oh, okay. Yeah. So that would be nine mill. Make nine million dollars just to be himself. I smoke weed and go on camera. I mean, God, isn't that if that's not the American to success story of all time. I don't know what it is. You know, I was, I was in the car with my parents and we were talking about Snoop Dogg hosting the Olympics and my dad's in. Why doesn't someone just go arrest Snoop Dogg because he's obviously got a bunch of drugs on him. I'm like, because Snoop is too cool. They're not going to arrest him. Come on. And he doesn't have the drugs on. That's what I was about to say. That that was. He's got a guy for that. Let me not not to mention. I mean, I don't know what the laws are in France and France, but probably not a great idea to be transporting across, you know, country lines. Right. I mean, I don't know that we saw him with any of that, but I'm sure he has contacts in Paris that would be happy to help him out. I am sure people come out of the woodwork to offer him stuff. Hey, you're Snoop Dogg. Can you try this, please? Oh, yeah. Try this strain, please try this. I want to think, you know, I'd like to see NBC take it a step further. Never mind this fair foul. Next time, just have Snoop Dogg be the lone host of the prime time and have Mike Toreko stand behind a camera somewhere and give him a little money. Your love for Snoop Dogg is surprising to me. I'm surprised to Lander. I'm surprised. But I like Lander him at all. All right, final one real quick. And this one is from the New York Post. So get ready. The Mets should be ashamed of themselves. It was camp day at City Field last Thursday afternoon, thousands of kids in the ballpark. Many of them already irreversibly desensitized and anti socialized by the commercial prompts that attack their vulnerable central nervous systems before they can distinguish bad from worse. So what did the Mets do? They put a Mets jersey on a girl who is famous for saying hak toa. As a Mets fan, my whole life, I'm disgusted that the Mets would put this girl in front of so many children who are now asking, what is hak toa mean? Steve, yeah, Steve Cohen in the Mets stock to Steve Cohen in the Mets to too low this time. And I can't see why they felt the need fair or foul, Chris, a fair, really? Yeah, fair ball. I don't really understand how they arrived at bringing her there to throw out a first pitch. And I don't understand how did they how did they announce her to the crowd by her name? And it was she just fluency. What? Social media influencer. Social media influencer. So and so. Yeah, I don't know who they ever mentioned hak toa in the introduction over the PA system. I don't know, but I don't think so. The fact of the matter is she didn't bring us Haley Welch. Well, she didn't belong out there in the first place. And especially now that I hear it was a kids day, that's yeah, I'm a little outraged by this. I must tell you outrage. Yeah, I am. I mean, I don't need every kid turning to their parent and going, what is this? Who is that woman? Oh, well, what does that mean? I don't need that. We have enough issues already out there. This was really poor taste, if that's true. I mean, all she was doing was spitting. That's it. I know. Tony, sure fell. Probably fair. Wow, especially considering it was on a kid's day. Yeah, that's the most I don't I don't buy the the idea that you know, if let's just say if it was my mom, and I and I happened to randomly as a mom, who was this lady? Your mom would say be quiet mind your own business. I know that's definitely that's definitely one option. The other option, I mean, there's there's I guess there's a way to speak to your kids and let them know that something inappropriate. She did something inappropriate, but she shouldn't really be up here, but this is what they decided. I mean, be honest without, you know, having to there's a way to say that to your to your child and let them know that this it's inappropriate or whatever it is that you feel about the situation. But it's inappropriate that the Mets put every parent in that stadium in that position. I that's not that's not what you could do. You could do it. You could do it. It is. I mean, also it's parenting. I mean, this is what you're supposed to do as a parent is guide your children and let them know right from wrong. Just take it as an opportunity. I don't think she should have been there on that particular day, but let's say it wasn't that day and it was just a random day. There's still kids in the stands in those in those days that can still ask the same question. So ladies and gentlemen, the Hock to a girl, it's not what they're feeling. The last time when we originally talked about this and you were concerned that I was filling young ears with bad things, most of the parents said on the chat that their kids already knew it before they did because of, you know, school and TikTok and whatever friends or whatever it was. Doesn't make a right to drag her out there. Man, you know, she's doing a good thing though. She's doing a good thing though. I mean, they have social influencers throw out first bitches all the time. Yeah. Maybe not one that used the term Hock to a, but they definitely got they definitely all got. How many pole dancers have gone to this year? Come on, please. Not even close to the same thing. He's a really get off my lawnmower. Yeah, he really is. Get off. I'm going to get one of my favorite objections ever just was shown on. Oh man, that's great. We'll talk about it later. Okay. All right. That's it for fair or foul. It was kind of a foul segment. But I kind of enjoyed it today. Okay. It's kind of a rousing, rousing. Good questions. All right. Good for your foul. All right. Maybe I figured out this, uh, maybe you got something here, scraping. All right. We got, uh, Christopher's the fans next. Hang in.
