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 to 5 star reviews to prove it.

Alright, during that break, I saw a lot of people driving almost off the freeway. What? After your notion that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey was a total fake… Hey, hey people! So we've got to get right back to this. I said that. I said I don't believe it's true. I was joking. Yes, but you announced it as if it was like all over the internet right now. Someone can't be… It was all over the internet. Well, alright. Here we go from TMZ Sports, which I hate to tell you. I believe a little bit more than whatever you're reading. They say the Travis Kelsey's reps are shutting down all of this viral Taylor Swift breakup. They're even enlisting legal help to tackle this drama, head on, and alleged, quote, "comprehensive media plan from the NFL star reps made the rounds Tuesday night, seemingly suggesting the Travis and Taylor's love story was all fabricated for the press and that there had been a plan to break up on September 28th, but Travis Kelsey and his people are calling this a complete total fabricated lie and threatening legal action against anybody who announces it on the radio. You know what's really funny is… So there you go, Scrab. Well, for two people that probably have things said about them every single day, this seems to anger them a lot. They are pretty angry that people are trying to say that their whole relationship is fabricated. No, that's not very nice. But apparently it's not fabricated at Scrabby. But hey, you don't need to come out so angry if there's no smoke. If there's smoke, there's fire. I don't know. Apparently this thing's been, as you said, running crazy on the internet so people are going taking it to new levels and I think a lot of people, Allah, you are starting to believe it. So Travis Kelsey had to shut it down. Can I not be a jokester anymore? Do I have to come on and disclaim every single thing that I say? Yes, because people listen on the radio, you know and I know that they hear what they want to hear sometimes. So you got to be a little careful out there. Right, everybody. It's a fake out. It's a fake out. It's a fake out. The news was out there. The news was out there but it was a fake out all the way. We are back on Gwen and Chris. Our number three here at Buffalo Wild Wings. Congratulations to all of our winners during that last segment. We had Padre tickets given away. There's no applause because people are mad they didn't win. That's all. They're also eating. And everybody's been having it. It's a full house. It is a full house. I just tweeted a picture. Yeah, it is a full house. So thanks to everybody who came down. We are still giving away one more pair of Padre's Astros tickets and three more. All you can eat Buffalo Wild Wings for a year. And in order to, you know, maybe get that, all you got to do is be here by five o'clock because we're going to give away the last batch at five o'clock in the meantime. Come on down. Have a cold beverage. Enjoy some Buffalo Wild Wings. Watch some baseballs getting underway here for a clock hour and, you know, hang out with us because we're having a great time. We're at the corner. Mira Mesa Boulevard and Reagan Road in Mira Mesa. And like I said, we'll be here till about five 30 this afternoon before we turn it over to Sammy Levitt's Padre's pregame show. Now, Scram, you want to do something a little different with Christopher's Defans today? Am I? Is this what I'm hearing? Yes. Yes. So if you are in the audience right now and you would like to play some Christopher's Defans live. Let's come line up right here and you will be playing for free wings for a year. You will be playing for free wings for a year. Now, even if you're not a trivia expert, you can win this game because the way it is set up, you have to answer trivia questions. But if I get the question wrong, you stay alive. So we've had many people win in the past even without answering any questions. That's right. So if you want a chance to win Buffalo Wild Wings for a year, we're going to play some live Chris versus the fans today. Is that, is it all going to be live, Scram? If we run out of contestants here in person, we are going to go to the phones. All right. But I hope not because I didn't do many questions thinking we weren't doing this today. So we're going to be doing a lot of questions out of my book for today. Okay. Well, why don't you give people the rules that are here. Oh, should we play the open? Yes. Adam, thank you. If you had one shot, one opportunity to take down the human all manack himself, how would he do? Now is your time. Listen to me, this guy is dangerous. Now is your opportunity to win a prize. Well, I hope you know what Jen for Chris versus the fans starts now on 97 three the fan. All right, we have a few brave suckers. I need fans. Wow. Who want to come up and play? No, I'm just kidding. Thanks for coming. Thanks coming up and playing guys. This could be it. This is going to pay off or if you win, you're going to wind up getting free Buffalo Wild Wings for a year. Scrabby, you're going to explain the rules to our contestants here at Buffalo Wild Wings. Yes. You have to make it through three questions. Each question will get more difficult. If you get the question right, you move on. If you get it wrong and Chris gets it right, you're eliminated. But if Chris gets it wrong, then you move on to the next question or you win. If you are, if you are a first time player, you left me hanging on that one. You confused me. Let me know before we get into it, you get that question for free.

Yes, you know. No, I don't. Oh, I'm going to take a guess. Okay. To a Tonga by Lola. I can't understand this guy. That is correct. Sorry, Sergio. Sorry, Sergio. That's all. Sergio. To a Tonga by Lola led the league and passed. He must have had a big lead heading into December because I don't remember completing a pass in the month of December. All right. He must have been way out in front. So your name, sir Travis Travis is next up. We've been Travis Ailesmith. Travis has been a great guy. He's got his, uh, Padre IV of July hat on. Have you played this game before? No, I have it. First time. First time. Bye. All right, here we go. Travis, you go to question number two. Yeah. What was the first sports theme movie to win the Oscar for Best Picture? First ever? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. First ever. Wow. Sports themed movie. Rookie of the year. Rookie of the year. Rookie of the year. Rookie of the year. It's one of my favorites. Rookie of the year. I'd have to go Batman. The 40s. There might have been a boxing movie in there somewhere that I didn't know about. I'm going to go Rocky 1976. That's correct. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Here we go. I was worried there had been one prior to that. All right. All right. Sir, your name. James. James. Nice to meet you, James. Thanks for coming down and visiting us today at Buffalo Wild Wings. Are you a first time player? I am. First time player. Thank you, Chris. All right, James, you're on to question two. All right. We just talked about it. But who is the Aztecs starting? Oh, yes. This is question two. Yeah. Okay. Who is the Aztecs starting quarterback? Oh, no. Cooper. Cooper. Cooper. Yeah. You were listening. You were listening. You had a big rest. You had a big rest. You had a big rest. Not closely enough. Unfortunately, Chris knows this. Danny O'Neill. All right. All right. All right. Sorry about that, James. Thank you for playing. Thanks for playing. Anybody else here wanted to step up and play? I think Kevin wants to play. Kevin, you want to play? Kevin? Come on, man. Kevin's, Kevin. Let's hear it for Kevin out there. You see? Kevin's here at Buffalo Wild Wings. Well, what a win. Yes. Zuna, great job. Kevin, you obviously don't need to win Buffalo Wild Wings for a year, but I think it'd be fun to let you play. Yeah. If you do win, you could give to the end. Yeah. He'll let you donate it to whoever you wish. You guys are so kind. Kevin's so so kind. Yes. Yeah. We're so kind. We're just giving. We just put you under pressure. If you win, you're going to have to pick somebody to give them to. All right. I know Kevin's a, yeah. Kevin's the first time. Playa! Okay. Goes right to number two. Which Miami Heat Guard was named 2006 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year? That would be number three. Dwayne Wade. Dwayne Wade is correct. Wow. That was, I mean, if you're going to be taking over Buffalo Wild Wings, you've got to know you. He nailed that before I could even think of my answer. That was pretty good. Good job. That was pretty good. All right. One more for the final question. All right. One more for the final question. For the championship here. All right. All right. This one's tough. Okay. What NFC quarterback attempted the most passes in the NFL last season? He was a starter all year long. I just got to look at my NFC teams. He's not on your list. No, I know, but I'm towards the end of the season. Keep it in my teams. Give me C. Dave Straub. C.J. Straub. Oh, NFC South. NFC, NFC South. No, NFC. NFC quarterback. Could be any NFC quarterback. Oh, wow. You expanded my repertoire. Yeah. I give you difficulty. Adam's getting impatient over there. Give me. I'm going to be wrong. Give me Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott. Give me the title. It's incorrect. But a good guess. Chris hates that. Chris, do you? If Chris gets this right, you're eliminated. But if he gets this wrong, then you win. What, Chris? Oh, he has the sheet. No, I don't. I have these are the list of the NFC teams. Got it. So I'm just looking at the teams to see which quarterback I want to guess. Bryce Young. Incorrect. Wow. Kevin, you win. Wow. Let's hear it for Kevin. Kevin. Kevin. Nice job, Kevin. We're going to give you back your booklet a free link so that you could donate. Yeah. You get your booklet back. You can donate to whoever you want to. Appreciate everything you do. Thanks for doing it. I'm taking care of us today, Kevin, again, and having us up here. Kevin's a big fan of the show, so it was just great to be up here and I've got to meet you. Thanks for all the good stuff. I know your staff has done a great job. Awesome. Kevin just checks on my drink like five times, which is awesome. That's the way it's to be done. That's the way it's to be done. Thanks, Kevin, for having us up. We're having a great day at Buffalo Wild Wings. Oh, the answer. Yeah. Who was it? You'll never guess. Wow. Sam Howell. Wow. Sam Howell of Sam Howell of the Nousity Box. Commanders? Commander's last year. Oh, Sam Howell. He was the guy who attempted the most passes because the Commander's just threw it like 70 times again. Yeah. I thought I had you there with Bryce Young. I thought maybe you were going to come up. Did Bryce Young even throw it for him sometimes? I don't know. Bryce was taking a wild long shot, yes, because I knew it was going to be somebody crazy. Hey, thanks to everybody who played. Thanks for coming up and playing. Put stick in your neck out on the line. We got James Travis out there. We got Sergio. Thank you very much. That was kind of everybody. We'll return to a regular edition of Christmas, the fans, of course, on the program tomorrow. But we've got our big five coming up in a little while, and the U.S. Open Tennis. Oh, yes. Tonight, you've got a couple of good matches. You've got Yannick Sinner. And this guy has become a very polarizing figure now, Scrabby. Because he survived. He was found to take steroids and they don't care. Twice. He tested positive twice for the same, the exact same thing that shelved Fernando Tatiz, Jr. Same steroid. What was it? Clostable. Clostable. Yeah. I shouldn't know what Clostable is. Yeah, you were pretty quick with that information there. But the thing was, this guy, he tested positive twice, and all he said, well, it was, I didn't know I got it. It was my, it was my massage guy, my massage therapist. Well, he said what everybody says. But for some reason, they believed him. And there's a lot of people in tennis that are not really thrilled that Yannick Sinner is, you know, only a couple of matches away now from winning the U.S. Open. And one of those is one of the most famous tennis players of all time. Roger Federer is kind of like, there's something weird going on here. Yeah, Federer was the clean, well, look, Federer was the squeakiest clean athlete maybe in the history of the planet. And one of the greatest athletes, of course, in the history of the planet. So, yeah, Federer wants to see everything on the up and up, and the doll for his part did come out in support center and said he understand how that could all happen. I think, I think the doll's being a little friendly here. Oh, nice. Yeah. That's the place tonight against Daniel Medvedev, which is a top five matchup. Yeah. So, that'll be a fun one later tonight. And but the one I'm looking forward to now is the semi-final on Friday with San Diego's Taylor Fritz against the other American, Francis Tiafo. Tiafo. That's going to be fun. I like that name. Tiafo. And, you know, one of them is going to get to the finals. Either Fritz or Tiafo would be a finalist. If you win the semi-finals, you go to the finals, right? And you could end up playing center, and I would think that would be interesting if that was an American at New York, at the US Open, playing against kind of a disgraced Yonic center in the final. That could be quite an atmosphere Sunday. Do we think if he was ranked number 125 in the world, he's still playing? No. That's what people are saying. I agree. That's what people are saying. And they're saying that tennis, you know, wanted to do something for their own sport by, you know, sticking up for them. But, you know, Sunday is a weird day because Adam just said this in my ear. Sunday is the opening day of the NFL. It's also the finals of the US Open tennis. How many of us out there will forego watching an NFL game so that they can watch the US Open final? Not very many. You. It's going to be the only one. But then I'll be recording the NFL on another chance. Yes. So I won't miss it. Oh, you know what? That whole recording thing really got me over the weekend because I wanted to text you and Tony when the Aztecs were in halftime and it was six to three and they were down. I wanted to text. I hadn't seen that you were at the game. Oh, so you were worried that I held back. You held back because you know I wouldn't want to hear the score. I was going to type Aztecs. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, just to be a jerk. But I never did it. Yeah. Well, I saved you from being a jerk. So how's that? That's a great thing for you. Thank you. Thank you very much. By the way, Sunday is also the return of my favorite person in all of sports. Scott Hanson. Still working on getting him on. He's back Sunday with the red zone. I cannot wait. I have to make my yearly call tomorrow to my cable company to make sure that I'm still signed up for it. You don't want it. Yes, I do. I don't want to take any chances. I don't want to tune in Sunday and find out that, you know, I didn't pay the bill. The red zone has to be operating, my friend. I can't. I would love to be the other person on the other side. Yeah. Oh, Mr. Elo. Yes. Your red zone is good. Yes. Nothing has changed. Got to make sure I get red zone. All right. We'll take a break. More Gwen and Chris on the way. Whit Maryfield. Whit Maryfield, the whining Whit Maryfield of the Atlanta Braves is the subject of our next segment. You'll find out why after traffic.

We continue to have a really good time out here in Buffalo Wild Wings today. It's been a great turnout, and I know we always say that, but today it really has been a great turnout. We have so many people out here, and the hopper is jam-packed, there's still a chance for you out there if you're getting off work soon. Come on by the Buffalo Wild Wings, we're right here in Mira Mesa at the corner Mira Mesa Boulevard and Reagan Road, and we're going to be giving away two more tickets to the Padre Astro Game on September 18th, and we're going to be giving away three more Buffalo Wild Wings for a year. For a year? A whole year you get Buffalo Wild Wings, so all of that, still ahead, we're going to do it at 5 o'clock, there's a bunch of folks here waiting for their opportunity to win, but you know what? You could be the winner, and just still be on your way over here, just get here by 5. I don't want to discourage anyone from coming, but this is the most entries I think we've ever had. Oh, it's been a huge ching, and Kevin and everybody, part of it is because Buffalo Wild Wings is a pretty good place to go, and it's a great location, honestly. It's really right here in the middle of town, and Mira Mesa, yeah, it's a great spot, and we're having a really fun day out here, I want to thank everybody who has come out, who's won prizes already, and again, you know, Kevin and the staff here, they've done a good job. A really good job. I mean, Kevin knows, and you know how weird I am. I mean, I'm weird in a lot of ways, but one of the ways that I'm weird, I love my diet coke with a lot of ice and some lemon in this, that's the only thing I ask. It's not, most people don't pull through. Most people, they're like, who is this guy? Most people give you like two cubes of ice and think that's a lot. It's not. Two cubes of ice is not a lot, and if we're going to be talking about this, and Kevin did a great job of filling up your ice, because I am an ice tea drinker now that I don't drink any alcoholic beverages, and ice tea usually melts the ice. So when someone brings me a drink with a bunch of ice, they did it right. You do it right. You go into my, now, if you have not been to Europe a lot, okay, so you know my biggest complaint with Europe. Well, they don't have ice. They hate ice. Yeah. And they hate flat water. They absolutely hate ice in Europe, and for that reason, I cannot love Europe. I like Europe, but I can't love it. Well, you could find ice if you want you. I went to a Burger King, the guy filled up my entire large cup with soda burger because I wanted ice, and I thought I could get some ice at the Burger King, and they still gave me a cup. And so I gave you liquid, all liquid filled up the whole cup that handed to me, and it was warm soda. Yes. That is gross. I'm like, are you serious? That is really gross. I got to say, as John McEnroe would say back in the day, you cannot be serious. So when I was in Europe, I didn't understand the first time I went about the carbonated water. That's how they drink water there. Yeah, we were in 150 degree room weather, and all I wanted was just a big, cool glass of water. Good luck. And I went to go chug it, and it was sparkly water, it was carbonated water, and I was like, what is this? That will wake up your body in a hurry. I will. All right. What Maryfield is the complaining Atlanta brave who is the subject of our segment right here. Here's what happened. Whit Maryfield has been kind of whining all year. He started with the Phillies. There was something about his Jersey uniform or number. I don't remember. The Phillies gave up on this guy. He's a former All-Star. No, you remember the story. Now it's coming back to me. A fan tweeted out that Whit Maryfield wasn't even good enough for anyone to want his own uniform. Remember that? Yes, yes, yes. He came back at the fan and said, oh, I wondered if they want my All-Star uniform from Kansas City. And I agree with him on this. Why are you taking, why are you sitting on your couch taking shots at a pro athlete? I'm going to take shots at Whit Maryfield because yesterday, poor Whit Maryfield was in the batter's box and got brushed back by a high-hard one. No, I think he got hit. Yeah. Welcome. You said brushed back. Welcome back to, welcome to Major League Baseball. Guys get hit. You're not the first one. Whit. Yeah, he got hit in the head. And he's not the first one that's got hit in the head. So you're mad at Whit Maryfield for saying, for being mad that he got hit in the head? Why don't we hear what Whit Maryfield had to say about it? It's ridiculous. The way the game's out right now, it's just ridiculous. We've had, we've lost, we've lost Riley. We almost lost Mike, we almost lost, I don't know, in the span of two or three weeks. But the way, the way pitchers are throwing out, there's no remorse for, for regard for throwing open end. The guys are throwing as hard as they can and they don't care where the ball grows. And it's, it's, it's, there's, they can't, you can't hit a guy anymore back. There's no fear that, oh, if I hit this guy, our guy's going to hit it, that's not even getting any more. Pictures don't have to hit anymore, so they don't just stay in the box and the teams are bringing pitchers up. They don't know what balls go, they, they, they throw a hundred miles an hour, so we're like, all right, we'll see if we can get the guys out, just set up down the middle and throw them as hard as you can. And it's, it's driving me nuts, I hate where the game's at right now with that. And I'm on the rules committee and we gotta call tomorrow and it's, it's gonna be a long conversation on what we gotta do to make pitchers think about, I just took 95 right off the head. I'm very lucky that it got me in a good spot and I gotta go get a catch game. I'm out of the game, he gets to stay in the pitch. I'm probably not going to be able to play tomorrow, no, no word, no word question on his part. And I mean, without being over dramatic, that was my life on the ground. So I'm sick of it, it's happening way too much. I watch Taylor Ward be hitting the face last year, have to get reconstructed for a bit. Justin Turner got hit in the face last year, it's happening. All right, I think he goes on for a little bit more, but I think we got to get a couple of things to say. One crime of a river. Oh my goodness, you have two, I do agree with him in the sense that baseball is just way gone over the line when it comes to guys who are throwing so hard and don't have a clue what they're doing. Yes. That is, that is true. And so with that, I agree with him. The notion that a guy can throw 101 miles an hour, so because of that, he can be brought to the major leagues is ludicrous. No, it's not. We're seeing it all the time. That's the part. I'm agreeing. I'm saying it's ludicrous. They got to stop doing that. They got to, they got to start making it to where we can find out if somebody can actually pitch before they can get to the major leagues and teams are not doing that. But as far as the other thing, look, Whitmerry Field is wearing a helmet, he's probably got body armor on, he's got shields on his arms, his legs and everything else. This is something that in the old days, they did not have and I just, he's not the only guy getting hit. Jerkson Propar has been hit 19 times this year. How many times have you been hitting the head? I don't know. I don't think any. No one wants to get hit in the head. I'm not condoning that. I don't think it was on purpose, but that goes back to the fact that these guys are coming up and they don't know where the ball's going. He said he's going to meet with the Rules Committee and he said he's on the Rules Committee. Oh, which is great. What's he going to do? I think there needs to be some sort of punishment for a pitcher that has no control. Like if you throw eight straight balls, you need to come out of the game. Wow. If you're throwing over 100 and you're nowhere near the zone, you have to, you have to come out of the game. No, you can't. So good try. All right. What are you going to do? You hit a batter in the head. Really? You're out. Now if it's a batter, you're out of the game because when Mayor Phil is right, this guy's throwing over 100. All right. Hit him in the back of the head. So what are you going to do easily be unconscious? He could easily die. He could crack his skull. Okay. And what are you going to do when Paul Skeens, the hero of Major League Baseball, has a perfect game with two outs in the ninth inning and throws a curve ball that bounces off the toe of direction profile that bounces off the toe. He's out of the game. You just said anybody hits a batter. No, no, no, no, no. I said hit the head. I said hit in the head and suspended probably Paul Skeens for that. I think if you hit someone in the head, there needs to be some sort of, okay, so just flat out for so, so flat out now if the ball hits a batter in the head, pitcher gets a suspension fine taken out of the game. But if what if the batter ducks trying to get under a breaking ball and it bounces off his head? So this is where it gets murky. I know it's always going to get murky. That's the problem that I have with Mary Fields, not the first person to get hit in not even the first to get hit in the head. He's one of the few people that has complained this vehemently about it. Here we go. And honestly, he sounds like kind of a whiner to me. I have. Okay. What if we do this? You're going to hate this, but I'm going to say it anyway. What if when you get hit in the head, instead of just getting first base, you get second base ghost runner and on your way to second base, you get to run by the mound with a bat and hit the pitcher over the head before you get there? We're going to have to bring this back up with Tony on the show because I want to hear it. Tony is the one who actually like sent this to us. So I'm curious to hear what he said and Tony also used to have to stand in there against these guys. He stood in against the Rose Chapman. I know he did. I don't know how they do it, man. I'd be scared to death. Which is more impressive. Tony being able to fell off a hundred, my five mile hour pitcher or roleless Chapman's still pitching 14 years later, I'm going with my guy Tony on that one. Me too. Me too. All right. Well, take a break. Big five is next. When in Chris continuing from Buffalo Wild Wings, you got anything to add? I do not. Okay. We're on our way back in a minute. All right. Back at Buffalo Wild Wings. Chris Cressello, Tony Gunjouners at Petco Park, Padres and Tigers tonight. Game two of that series. You Darvish returns to the mound after three and a half months, man. What a what a lift to have you Darvish back. Last outing was May 29th. That's June, July. Oh, that's over three months. So we'll see what Darvish does tonight. I can't imagine. Those four innings, you know, I'd be ecstatic. I mean, I think that would be good. Just get his feet wet, get back in there and, you know, keep on winning, Scrabie. The Mets, the Braves and the Diamondbacks, you know, none of those teams are dead yet, right? They're still keeping a little heat on the Padres. Yeah, they are. They definitely are. So, you know, you got to keep on winning here as we go down the final 22 games of the regular season. Real quick, thanks to DJ. Yes, DJ. He came by. He's a Jerry. Jerry or two. Oh, everybody who's come by, but, but DJ, really good guys. He's a cheese head. Yes, yes. But he came out here about a year ago with his wife and started listening to our show. And now he's, I asked him if the Padres play the Brewers and the NLCS. He said he'd be going Padres. That's, yeah. That's, that's. Hey, Joe, come on in because it's not easy to convert a cheese head. Well, he was saying that, and it's true, even in this day and age, it's really hard to keep up with your team when you're not in the same city. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the Brewers are playing awfully good baseball right now. Who knows what's going to transpire in the postseason. But the other key thing about DJ is he's a physical therapist. And I told Scrabby, you know, this might be the guy to get your shoulder going again. Because I don't, I don't like to hear the fact that you're still out for another like four months, like enough already. Let's go. Crack you back into shape. I need you back out on the golf course with me. You know, I, I agree. I agree. I don't know what to say, but he gave me his card. I'm going to hit him up. So not sure. He might be the guy for you. It could be. He might be. He might be the, my DJ might be the guy. All right. Buffalo Wild Wings, Miramesa, Location Corner Miramesa Boulevard and Reagan Road. New location, only seven days old, jam-packed in here today, watching sports, enjoying our show and winning Padre tickets. We got some more to give away at the top of the hour. Before we get to that though, time for traffic and then a big five. It's that time of the show when we check on the latest in sports, only the most important topics and questions are brought to light. To stop what you're doing and listen, these new stories will astound and amaze you. The one, the only, oh my God, who the hell, cash, the big five starts now on 97 three, the fan, a reminder to stay tuned for the eco water. So Cal Padres pregame show with Sam Levitt on 97 three, the fan that's going to get started at 540 tonight. All right. Let's get into it. Number five. Now Chris, this is the White Sox question that I was asking you and the Padres are finished with games outside of the Pacific time zone. They have one flight remaining that will be longer than two hours and 15 minutes. I believe that's too Seattle, but the Padres just have 22 games in the season's final 27 days. They finish with six games on the road with the Dodgers, then the Diamondbacks, but the final three regular season home games are going to be against the White Sox. So we talked about this earlier, Chris. Is it sweep or this is why I sat on the scraping show last night? Is it sweeper bust when playing the White Sox? It always feels like a sweeper bust, but you can't look at it that way. I mean, look, the Yankees lost a game. Wouldn't they lose two to the White Sox, maybe? I'm not sure. Anyway, you know, crazy things can happen. So you don't say that, but you certainly want to take care of the White Sox. I think it's interesting. This is second year in a row that the final home series of the regular season for the second time in three years, they're finishing with the White Sox because 2022 when they made the playoffs, yeah, yeah, they wrapped it up while they were facing the White Sox. That's true. I remember the final, yeah, final weekend of the season. So I might have to go out to see the White Sox just because I want to say I was there to see one of the worst teams in the history of sports. I kind of do too. It's kind of there's just, you know, that little part of me that likes to be part of that stuff. I mean, the White Sox could be trying to make history history that weekend, you know, by losing their 121st game. So that to me would be interesting. Otherwise, there are just three more games. Obviously you want to sweep. I know what you're asking, but yeah, because I can't say through your bus because if they lose the game, what are you going to do? Quit. Yeah, I guess. You guess you're right. Yeah. The White Sox are playing so bad it is sweeper bust and I know it depends on where the Padres are at this point in the season because then they'll have nine games left at that point when they start the series with the White Sox nine games. And if they need those games to win the division, then they have to sweep. But if it doesn't really matter, then there's no reason to sweep. Well, they're going to matter. Those games are going to matter because they're going to be coming up ahead of three games in LA and three games in Arizona. Yes. So those six games are going to matter. So the three before them are going to matter too. All right. Let's go to the motor floor. Now, we just talked about Whit Marifield and Chris is not a fan of his, but Los Angeles, this is not about Whit Marifield. We can do more Whit Marifield. No, this is not about him. But Los Angeles Angels flamethrower Ben Joyce was a little extra amped up last night after throwing a 105.5 mile an hour fastball on the TV screen. It registered at 106, which I've never seen in my life anywhere near the plate. It was a strike. Oh, strike. Okay. Tommy Edmond actually was the victim of that strikeout. Okay. And it's the fastest strikeout pitch in the pitch tracking era since 2008 and the third fastest pitch ever recorded Tony's at bat against the Roldis Chapman in 2010 is still the fastest pitch at 105.8 miles an hour. He's proven there are guys who could throw 105, Chris. I'm up first. Are there guys who will be able to hit 105 if this becomes a thing? I've been thinking a lot about this lately, and I think that if this, the speed on a fastball keeps going up, hitters biologically, genetically cannot catch up. How can the reaction time get any faster? It's already miniscule reaction time. And Tommy Edmond looked at this thing, he swung over the top of these like, what am I supposed to do with this? Yeah. Well, the teachers have the upper hand anyway. Yeah. But you know what? In the day when everybody's throwing 105, then batters will be able to hit it. It's the same argument I would make for those people who say, you know, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, those guys, they never had to face 100 mile an hour fastballs. Let me tell you something, if they had to, they would have hit them. Great hitters are great hitters and they'll figure it out. And guys that can't hit, you know, 105 won't make it to the major leagues. But I just, I hate Ben Joyce type stuff. It's not. I don't hate him. Just power fastballs. It's not his fault. But just, you know, he throws 105. He finally got one over for a strike. That is true. I would like to see, I really still like to see pitchers. And that's why, you know, I made such a big deal the other day about watching that Greg Maddox special because I just love guys that could pitch and outsmart hitters. And obviously, I have to agree with what Mary field when he says those days are kind of long gone and it is sad for baseball in a lot of ways. Yeah, it is. So I agree with you on that one with the first ever NFL game in South America set the plate take place this Friday in South Powell, Brazil. We've talked about Josh Jacobs saying the NFL told them not to wear green, even though both teams have green as part of their team colors. Not cornerback Darius Slay had to backtrack after saying he didn't even want to go. He said on his podcast quote, I don't want to go to Brazil. You want to know why? I'm going to tell you why. They already told us not to leave the hotel. They told us we can't do too much going on because the crime rate is crazy. I'm like NFL, why would you send us somewhere with a crime rate this high? I told my family do not come down there because I'm not going to be nowhere to be found. Basically, he's going to sit in his room and not leave. His grammar is about as good as yours. I was reading his quote. I know you were. Chris, do you think he has a right to be concerned? I think he has a right to say something. I do. I mean, if you're going somewhere, even if it's not to play football game, if you're going somewhere and before you arrive there, they say, whatever you do when you get there, don't leave your room. Yeah. You're going to kind of wonder why the hell you're there in the first place, aren't you? Yes. NFL's already taken over the world and maybe this is an unfair trashing of Sao Paulo, Brazil. I don't know what life is honestly like there. But if these guys are concerned, then why couldn't you have picked up another play? We don't need to play in Brazil to make the NFL any more money. So yeah, I'm going to agree with Slay on this one. Darius Slay is my guy here. The NFL. Yeah, it's good. I'm good. Yeah, I'm with you. The NFL does whatever the NFL wants to do to make more money. I mean, how? Look, they played the Miami, Kansas City game last year. In France, it's cold. So why not go to the North Pole next year? You haven't taken over the Arctic. Yeah. Have you? I would actually like to see that. To an outdoor game in Baro, Alaska. And have the dolphins play again, since they're used to it. Yes. Number two. Fans won't have to wait until the Masters in April to watch golfers from the PGA tour and live golf compete in the same event. PGA tour stars Rory McElroy and Scotty Sheffler have agreed. Oh, thank you. I missed it. Have agreed to face live golfs to Bryson de Chambal and Brooks Keptka. Yay. That made a pretty good match in Las Vegas in mid December. The match, we all know, it was once a good idea. It has come long gone from that and it got old, but now they're trying to reboot it. Yeah. I'm up first. Is this enough to get your attention? The answer? Yes. What? Yes. You're going to watch? Actually, it is an exhibition, but it doesn't seem like an exhibition and they have some of the best golfers in the world. It's not just random people that wanted to do it and get paid for. It's not Josh Allen and Aaron Rodgers against Bryson de Chambal so middle. That was a little silly. Yeah. I'll say this. I would be more inclined if you could tell me that if Keptka and de Chambal win, that means live is better and it doesn't mean live is better. Thank you. So then why am I watching? Because of the competition, I'm just putting more money in the pockets of people already have more money than everybody. You know how much I hate that. Well, that's what you're doing by tuning in. All right. Your TV, your TV viewership is what is allowing the kind of payout to Keptka. Yes. You're putting money in Keptka's pocket. I think you're going to turn the channel now. I might. Last one. Number one. Maybe that was number one. Oh, there it is. Oh, no. Okay. All right. This is basically a question just for you because I have this light outside of my house that I have to turn left. The light, so it's a T intersection. Okay. And the light coming out of the neighborhood is usually pretty quick. Like it recognizes that you're there just one car and it'll switch everything and it's a pretty smooth process. So you have to go to this in order to get out of your neighborhood, you have to get past this light. Well, they've been doing a ton of construction and for some reason, yeah, the light does not recognize that there's a car there anymore. So you're waiting the usual, even if there's no cars, any new car, you have to wait five minutes. No cars. So my idea is here's my question, Chris. Is it crazy for me to call the city of Carl's Vatican complaint about this? Yes. No, I'm getting from Jeff. Be a hand bone, I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, what, give me the number. I'll call. Wow, we got them. Thank you very much. Yeah, because I feel your pain here, sitting in a light while there's no traffic going by is tantamount to stupidity and as far as I'm concerned. But you have to do it. I don't want to run the red because the guy who runs the red and all of a sudden the cop is going to appear out of nowhere. I know. I know. All right. That's it for the big five. Let me get back. We'll see if we have some mic chill and we'll talk more about the Padres on 97 to the fan.
