Welcome to the From the 108 podcast starring the drunk uncles of White Socks Twitter. He’s a Twitter like [ __ ] an
Instagram thirst track, and your grandma’s guilty pleasure. Be globe.
A West Coast attitude in a decidedly Midwest body. My sock Summer
and your host. He’s sharing obscure music thoughts to give you time to hit the bathroom. Theresy E.
Thank you, Quzy. And welcome to the From the 108 podcast. Get ready for some baseball, beer, and [ __ ] And
remember the drinking rules. If Beo says allegedly or that he manifested that, you drink. If my sock summer talks about
the gym or tells us he simply did not have time, you drink. If I talk music or Star Wars, you drink. And of course, you
can make all of us drink with a tip of A$108 or more. A lot more, please.
But fellas, speaking of drinking, what are you drinking? I’m guessing none of
us are on the quest, but surprise me. Well, I uh bought alcohol at a place
that potentially could have a fatismo drug. Uh but it did not. Uh I went to Aldi and I was at Aldi.
That’s a good call. And I went to 60 and I went to the one on 63rd or around
63rd. There was a shooting over there. Uh not not too recently. And uh were you involved? I was not involved.
Oh, good. It was funny. It’s it’s it in uh I didn’t grow up in Chicago as you all know. I used to live out west, but I was
not privy to a lot of shootings uh in general. But when I saw a video of a
shooting that happened on Western, and I recognized it immediately, I was like,
“Holy shit.” Like there’s a Starbucks like a block away, but also a really good Aldi. Uh so they have alcohol at
this Aldi. So I was w I was like, “You know what? [ __ ] it. I’m going to go look in the alcohol section and I’m going to see what they have.” And uh I saw the
te’s. They have hard tea at Aldi, which is a all play hard iced tea. So now
immediately, hang on. What’s What’s all play? What I want to get closer to the camera. I want
to see what the [ __ ] this to us. So anyway, it’s called All Play and it’s hard iced tea original, right? So this
is just the this is just the iced tea with hard alcohol or I’m assuming whatever. You know, initially I’m like,
“This is 100% uh just a knockoff Twisted Tea and it’s like carbonated and I’m
probably not going to like and and I get up there and I go, “Oh, it’s not carbonated.” And then I’m like, “Holy [ __ ] they have like different
flavors. They have raspberry, they have peach, and there’s a mixer. 10 bucks for a 12-pack.” I was like, “You know what?
Sign me up. Let’s see how this goes.” So, I do. I had a peach the other night. Was
delicious. Uh this is the regular iced tea. It is good. And here’s my daughter.
Wait, how many how many flavor? You said you got a peach. How many flavors you got of this? Peach, raspberry, there’s the Arnold
Palmer, and then there’s just a regular tea. There’s the other one. [ __ ] right, man. That sounds good, man. Have a good night.
You know what’s funny though? MSS is like, there’s a man, I’m not used to all this shooting, whatever. And I was thinking, Trezy, we had a guy who lived
down the block from us who actually got shot in the head, but he was totally fine. Not only because he has because he
has a hard head, but not a lot of brains in there. So I missed everything and he was totally fine. He’s he’s fine these
days. But he got shot in the head. Yeah. He got shot by a 22, didn’t he? See, I’m telling you. No, it was I think it I think it hit the
hit the ground first and then hit Oh, ricochet. Yeah, I already
count that. If a ricochet bullet hits you, that doesn’t count in that. I still don’t want to get shot by a
ricochet like a 45. No. And ricochet though. I’ll take a 22, but not a 22 in
on the head. It’s got to be like more fleshy area. Oh, okay. No, not that.
I’m not trying to discount Joe. It was not It’s not a Joe related crime.
Although Joe Do got shot in the head. He has a huge cranium, so he’d probably be okay, too. No, this guy was just kind of
a You know what it was? He was kind of a play gangster. He wasn’t really a gangster. He was he,
you know, and then he was hanging out with the dudes and got shot in the head. And I think that ended his career of being the play gangster, right?
I don’t I feel like you went different after that. Yeah, that [ __ ] kind of flies in like Sterling, Illinois.
Doesn’t really fly in Chicago so much. There’s like real gangsters here. Like I grew up with all pretend gangsters. So,
you know, you got to watch out, you know. What about you? What are you drinking tonight?
I’m uh I’m drinking the leftover uh gelades that I’ve been hanging around, the Mellos. I got the uh lime and salt
and then I have the mango one in the in the little fridge right here. Teresa, I think these are still some of the ones
you bought for cottage that I’ve had in the the beer fridge since we came back. And so we’ve been slowly drinking away
at them, drinking them in the uh Sunday. So they’re delicious. Absolutely delicious. So I I got a six-ack of them.
I don’t know if I should get through all of them because I have an early flight tomorrow. Remember how we flew early to Pittsburgh.
I’m flying early again out of town, similar time. It’s like I should Great idea. And you’re going to gain
two. Great idea, too. You’re going to gain two hours. Oh, we’ll gain two hours. I’ll get I’ll get to I’ll get to San I’m flying to San
Diego. I’ll get to San Diego nice and early and then I can be hung over there when I more easy. I can’t wait to see that uh
the Jeff Passan uh drunk pick or dunk pick of of loaf in in the I’m sorry uh
in the sand, you know, like on a beach somewhere in San Diego just
pants on with sand. Definitely no ass. Yeah. No, I haven’t grown an ass since the last time.
MSS. Do you think his family could build him an ass? Can can build him an ass on top? A sand ass. Sand ass.
Sand ass on top. Yeah. Make him a mermaid with a really nice can. What about you, Chariz? What are
you drinking tonight? Oh, man. Oh, man. So, I’m clearing out. You know, the fridge piles up with ones
and twos over the over the weeks and months. It does. So, I’m clearing them out tonight. But up first, we got a we
got a real mish mash of [ __ ] here. But the old last Old
is up first. Hell yeah. Millie. And then I got a bag over here. I got my
White Socks bag. Yes. Of uh of beers, randoms.
And it’s going to be just whatever I reach in and grab the rest of the night. We’re going to see. Should be fun.
Excited. Mrs. Beef says challenge accepted. So may maybe they will uh build me a big caboose in the sand.
Okay. I like it. I’m excited about this. I I kind of am too. I’ve never had a big ass. I mean, it’ll be it’ll be a new
thing for me. It’ll be great. You you’re you’re around big asses, but you’ve never
the big ass club. Always been a big nose guy. You know, I’ve been a big nose guy since back
then. Big nose guy. Think I don’t know if I told you guys this. I don’t think for my entire life because there’s a picture
hanging up in my parents’ home. I don’t if you ever noticed it. I was looking at it. I’m like, my nose wasn’t [ __ ] up
in that picture. And I wonder and I was like four in that picture. I wonder if mom and dad [ __ ] dropped me, [ __ ]
my nose up, and they sitting on the bottom. I’ve thought a lot about this. I think your nose grew into your big ass
head and that’s that’s what it is. But I don’t have a big cap size. I’m like seven and a half
because in in that picture in that picture that you’re talking I know the picture you’re talking about. Yeah. You know
got a big ass Charlie Brown head sitting on like a 5-year-old kid. Look like a [ __ ] pumpkin.
That’s why your nose looks small. That’s why I was taller than I That’s why I was taller than the other kids in grade school. All my skull. It was
It was all skull. It was all skull. You You were a dapper young man. And then about after high school, you just
started to like disintegrate. I don’t know what happened. He was not as good as you were.
My best years were behind me. They were. You really did. You won. You
peaked at five. You peaked at five. It’s closed down already.
Looks nice. No. It was post marriage. I think you know our guy
Jerry O Sullivan says socks trade deadline was meh plus n plus n. I found
a 46 year old plus dusty bottle of old Fitzgerald at my wife’s aunt’s house in
Ireland. Schlancha and let’s go 50 wins and 550 runs scored.
Booyah. Cheers. That’s going to come up a little short. We need 560 about more more runs than that, Jar. We need at least 560. The line’s 555 and a half.
I’m paced for like 612, so we’re all good. But they’ve been drinking for hours. Just you got to give him a little bit of a break. He didn’t know if he was
going to be able to make it here. Let me before you get to the next question, MSS, let me ask you a question. Tree’s been on the struggle
bus reading some of these uh drinks, hasn’t he lately? I’ve been noticing he might need to get a hooked on Sonic, you know, in between
the next show. You know, I love you, Tree. It’s all for improvement, but you’ve been a little struggling reading some of these. I’m not saying
Here’s what it is. No one’s going to say [ __ ] about it, though. Except for us cuz
oh if I if I say the wrong word everyone’s oh my s summer why don’t you go [ __ ] speak English ashole
is like like making like vowel sounds for things and people are like what up totally fine totally fine
this print is so small it’s the problem I mean you’re getting that old that is true
no it’s actually I it’s hard I get my spit up what I I’m trying to gauge here is how
how much I can open up this the the browser window that this is in
without it washing out my face cuz beef you’ve been to my house my my [ __ ] screen is gigantic and like right in
front of my face. Um I don’t know why I like that so much but it it’s bad for the lighting and so I
try and keep this small but when I keep it small little hard to read. I can get this one though.
Cheers from Gordo. [ __ ] you guys. cuz I got it. Thanks, Gordo.
Makes it easy for me. Gordo, did you eat all those chicken wings we saw in that picture the other night, dude? Cuz that’s a lot of chicken
wings. I don’t know if you can handle that. We’re just worried. We were worried. We’re like, that’s a lot of chicken wings for Gordo.
Mrs. Beef says, “Uh, [ __ ] you, MSS Beef. Still hot.” And then, uh, Jerry says,
“Yeah, I’m six hours ahead. I get a little slack.” Yeah, absolutely. Jerry watch middle of the night. Middle of the
night. Hope hope you don’t finish that whole bottle tonight. Save a little bit for tomorrow. Another
drink from Barry Bag of Donuts. He says, “Going to the Socks game in Atlanta August 18th. Got the equivalent of scout seats. Should I wear my 108 gear that
day?” Yes. Maybe Shriffin will see me. Yeah, I think so. Barry, definitely do it, bro. Why not? It bring the chain. Bring the
chain. Bring the chain. I don’t think he has a chain. And folks, I’m sorry to report, but we are sold out
of fan chain. I thought there was one chain left. Okay. Sold out, baby. Completely. Well, thank you for the drink, Barry. We
We appreciate it. I mean, I still have mine, which I will probably sell the next game I go to wearing it, so it’s
it’s okay. But, uh, we’ll get we’ll get some more printed up. Uh, Wall-E money was asking for a gold version. So, we
were going to make Wall-E a gold. He said, I I told I told you what Oh, I I told MSS, I need a gold version of this.
Okay. I buy one of these. That’s a good idea. Oneoff gold one just for wall. It’ be
hilarious. I might just make it gold on gold on gold. just all gold 108, you know, chain
be like June Bug Spade. Uh he’ll over gold. He might over
to get a picture of him laying on the ground with the gold chain on. It would be the funniest thing ever. He might over ice cream at some of these
games, man. That’s all I’m worried about. Italian ice. My summer, how you doing tonight, buddy?
I’m doing good. Uh we had a you know, we’ve had a last couple of fun days here online. Uh selling a lot of merch,
raising a lot of money. That was fun. Oh yeah. What what kind of got lost and I didn’t know about this until I walked into the
uh Sock Charity booth at the Socks game is that Socks Charity was doing a tellathon too, but I think it was
Tuesday night. There was people on like standing by to get [ __ ] So they had like a special deal. I walk in there cuz
it’s $5 Tuesday. All right. So they usually have something for $5. So I’m like sometimes it’s game used balls,
sometimes it’s an autograph ball. And I’m like, I’m gonna go in there and get my $5 item because that’s what I want to
do. My hope was to get 20 of $5 balls. And then I open them all up and we go,
“Hey, Carson Fulmer. Carson Fulmer.” Fulmer. Carson Fulmer. Wow. Uh, but they
did not have that. And they’re like, “Oh, we have.” So my girls, uh, Melissa and, uh, Oh, shoot. But Melissa was one.
I forgot the other girls. Me and her and you and her and Big Dog. Uh, my dad.
You can’t What’s the What’s the equivalent of like chief or or big dog for a woman? How is there an equivalent
for that? I don’t know. You just Hey, you say hun?
I’m pissed now cuz I really can’t. No, I agree. You can’t. I’m saying what’s the equivalent though, Tree? Is there an
equivalent to like big I think it depends, sweetheart. Between girls or between guys and girl?
I don’t know if No, it’s it’s all you. Oh, it is. Yeah. No, I think it’s right. I think it’s uh Mrs. B says, “Hey girl.”
Or uh Cringy says, “Hey, you.” Yeah. Yeah. There. Yeah. It’s like you kind of you get the little the sweet, “Hey, you.
How you doing?” You know, that type of [ __ ] right there. Right. Sweetie. Yeah, that could be it. That might be right.
I’m pissed. I can’t find it. Shout out Melissa and the other one.
Where’s the shirt? Shout out to Melissa and Melissa.
God damn it. It must be anyway. can’t find it. Anyway, so
anyway, I go in there and it’s like they have all this stuff and Melissa’s like, “Yeah, we have balls, but they’re not
they’re not $5.” And I look over at the sign and the sign is says $100 balls.
And I’m like, “Oh, [ __ ] $100 for an autographed ball.” So then I read
further and it says signed by one of the following pitchers. Mark Burley, Jose Contreras, Freddy
Garcia, Jean Garland, Orlando Hernandez, or Jack McDall. So immediately I’m like,
listen, I was going to say the McDow baller. That is the loser, but if you pay $100
for a McDow ball, you’d be so mad. It’s McDonald and Don Paul on the same ball. Pissed as hell. If I spent $100
and it was befouled by Jack and Dow, even though young Mox love baseball with
no no autograph, I’d rather have that stuff. He was a great guy. He’s a great pitcher. Okay. But like
I followed him on he’s a friend of mine on on uh Facebook and uh he sells all of
the CDs he’s ever released autographed shipped to your house for $35. So it’s like I don’t need anything like
You realize how much that autograph is really worth. So I’m like5 because we know what the CD
is worth. I was going to buy five balls. Average it out for the hundred bucks. You got to average the things out. You
know some of them are going to be worth more worth less. McDonald a lot less. A lot less. Like
it’s almost like it’s out there right there. Angie, there we go. All
right. My bad. My bad, Angie. If uh Melissa, do not sell me out to Angie because she’d be very mad.
I’m at least glad that Melissa was right. In the back of my head, I thought the Melissa name was going to be wrong, too.
No. No. Like, oh, no. One out of two. One out of two is not bad. Theresa, he’s hitting 500. All right. Take
Melissa is the new newest 108 super fan cuz she bought $145 worth of merch from
us. All right. I walked over there and I delivered it and it was awesome. She was
She’s great. She’s always fun. She also bags on Matt Ramsey. Uh, so
Oh, we’re best friends. is she’s like just hey don’t tell don’t
tell Kier that that I like you you know and she says that I just outed Matt Ramsey I’m sorry Matt Ramsey anyway I
got three balls I was going to buy five and I was like $500 I don’t know if I can handle this uh this is probably
another byproduct of me taking an edible before I go down to the game I was like three f five was going to be too much
three seems totally okay so I bought three autograph balls and uh I’m going
to open them live right now I have not opened them there are sealed. All right. From Socks Charities.
I wonder if they’re still going to be doing this. So So hang on before you open them. MSS. Yeah.
Drezy, you want to you want to prognosticate what the balls are going to be? So this is the the exact balls you’re saying $100 a piece.
100 bucks each. And and it could be any of the five starters from 2005 or Jack McDow.
This is an alduk. This is an alduk. Do you think it’s aluk? I’m gonna say it’s a I’m just gonna go this way. I’m
gonna say it’s a nonjack McDow and non Burley. Okay. All right. So,
I don’t think it’s the best or worst ball. Okay. Let’s open this. You got to be
careful. They’re certified. Okay.
That is Joseé Contreras. Yes. Jose Contrarus. Love Joie.
And that is him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that’s Joseé Contra cuz that is
Yeah, I’m pretty sure that is cuz I I have him on a on a bobblehead. I do not have him on a ball. I don’t have him on
my World Series ball. So, this is per That’s perfect. Nice. That’s ball number one.
I don’t know what Jos Contreras’s fair market value of a baseball signed is. I would guess it’s probably under 100
bucks, but I wouldn’t be disappointed if I got in your I’m going Freddy right here. I’m going Freddy. Okay. All right.
Here’s why it’s okay. Yeah. Because it’s MLB certain. So like the MLB certification on a ball jacks it 50
bucks I would say. Oh, okay. All right. So that’s a good place. So like it’s a legit thing. It’s
not Steiner. I mean Steiner’s okay, but like but PSA DNA is good, too. But like MLB like it’s I would say that it’s
topnotch. All right, ball number two. Tree. This is the Jack McDall ball right here. This is the disappointment ball. I listen. If I get Jack McDonald,
I’m glad I donated it. I’m glad I donated the money to charity, but I but I’m going to be severely disappointed and I
don’t want to be that ball coming right up. I’ll show you on camera. The disappointment ball is when you when
you sit on your balls. That’s the Oh, who is that?
I can’t tell cuz it’s kind of backwards for us. Oh, it’s Oh, it’s Mark Burley, man. I
work early. MLBerted autograph ball for $100. That
is amazing. Now that’s that’s the good get right there, baby. Hell yeah. Okay, I’m willing to say this right now.
If this is Jack McDall, I’m not going to care as much cuz I You’re in the bar.
That’s a good one. Yeah. All right. So, who do you guys think is going to be? No, it’s I’m sticking with Freddy. I’m sticking with Freddy.
You’re sweating Freddy. You know what? I need Freddy, too. So, if I get Fredd,
that would be We saw Freddy in the We all need Freddy in the hallway.
You know, I’m bummed I missed that. I’m bummed that I’m just lazy and don’t sign up for things. I I’m just It was another
game. MSS the tea by mistake. Even if they wanted to touch us,
especially Brian Anderson. All right. What are you going There it is. There it is.
That’s Freddy Garcia. All right. Number 34, Freddy Garcia.
Baby, he did good. He did good. When MSS was like, “Yeah, I got a little high. I was thinking $300 is an okay
deal for this.” Did you also expect him to be like, “But I also thought $400 was
finally a good deal for this.” And then he was going to wheel in the gigantic Tim Anderson bobblehead.
I wish. Crazy. I’m on record saying I would have got dressed up as Santa outside of his house. I know, but I feel like you you
probably get it way cheaper now. Yeah. Well, a huge discount. Guy’s not even right
now. Somebody bought it, so you know. You know, hey, that’s a good Well, I want to thank Melissa and Angie for being great
people to talk to. Every time I go in the socks charity corners when Matt Ramsey’s not there and talking [ __ ] on
Matt Ramsey, that’s awesome. Uh, and thank you very much for for giving me these fabulous balls. She picked them
out for me. I said, “You pick them out cuz you probably know where they are. You pick out the good ones.” and she’ll
she’s got some luck in those hands. So, thank you very much. And yeah, go support Socks Charities if they’re still
doing this. Next game, you should get through. I mean, we need one of us to get a Jack McDow. That would just be
that would be great. That would be really good. I I can’t wait to walk in there with you the next time you go so
that I could see you greet them and say, “Hey, Melissa.” And then like point and go, “And Angie,
you’re remembered.” I love it. It was awesome.
beef tonight. Boys, I I got a you know, I got a little bit of a quandry. I’ve had a bunch of these lately. I don’t
know if I told you guys this, but the my office uh on the floor that I work in in
the building, they’re they’re tearing up the other side of the building. We my suite is one side of the floor. The
other side of the floor other people have moved out. They’re tearing up and restructuring. Someone knew was going to move in there. In the process of doing
all this, they decided to renovate our extremely [ __ ] old bathrooms, which
is a good thing. Our bathrooms have been, you know, they’re over the hill, they’re ruined or whatever. So, when you get to that point of
renovated bathrooms, they have to send you to a different bathroom on a different floor.
Oh, no. So, now we’re having to go up one floor. They hate you on that floor. And share Well, yeah, I was going to
say, we’ll get there. And share and share the bathroom with someone else. Now, here’s the thing. When you have
your own floor and your own bathroom, especially after people have moved out, you get a a comfort level in that it’s
only your office in there. Yeah. And the traffic isn’t that dense, right? A lot of times you’re just in the
bathroom by yourself because, you know, you get in and out of there, whatever. When you combine two floors worth of
people to go to the bathroom, there’s a substantial amount of more traffic. And so, a couple couple
problems that I had recently, I just want to get your guys take on. Number one was
I need a piece of information before you get into this. Yeah, go ahead. Oh boy. So, just to be clear because I thought you said it and I want to make sure this
you’re on a different floor. It’s the building you work in, but it’s a different company up there.
Correct. Okay. So, it’s not it’s not it’s not anyone who works with me. Couple different companies have the
sweet two different companies. You run it sell something. I don’t want to get too far into what
their businesses are, but these are financial businesses generally. So, it’s 100% a shell company and it’s
illegal. Okay. It’s all white collar workers. I don’t know that that helps. Uh, maybe it doesn’t. It’s a shell company.
Number one, um, and this is me. I I I I did this.
So, I don’t really I try not to have too many road games.
Yeah. But the two weeks into us having upstairs, I had a special day where I
had to have two road games in one day. on a single day.
It’s a Wednesday after they drafts, right? Right. Too many.
It was not actually. Surprisingly, it was not. Um, do the My question is this. If you
have two road games in one day, and there’s only three shooters, mind you, in that thing. So, you got to
do the people on the floor upstairs automatically hate you when every time they see you coming in the bathroom.
They’re going to avoid you. They’re they like they talk about you. That’s for sure. And they’re gonna avoid you. But
no, they don’t think they hate you. Okay. They just know when I’m coming in, they they
nasty. That’s [ __ ] gross. Well, I mean, there’s nothing I can do
about it. But now I feel a little self-conscious when I run into anyone from the other companies cuz I didn’t
encounter anyone from my company on this particular incident. We’ll get to the second incident in a minute in which I did encounter some of my This is not
something I come back from. I mean, like, okay, so it’s a road road game, but uh is it a is it a is it a
stinky road game? Yeah. It was gnarly. Bad one. Two bad ones. MSS.
Oh, man. Two bad ones. The second one on the juicier side.
Oh, there’s a question for you though about this. It says, “Will the renovation?” Ty
says, “Will the renovation include a commemorative bronzing urinal you sneeze/shhatter?”
I hope so, but I think they’ve already removed all that. I think they’re further along in the process. They didn’t realize what they should have
kept from that. Can we Can we get that Can we get that urinal, please, and put it put it in
your backyard so then I don’t have to walk into your house to take a piss?
The question is beef in there long enough for the lights to turn on. I’m a quick shooter and believe you me in this
instance I was getting in there because I needed to get in there as soon as possible. It was one of those days like for that.
Yeah, that’s gross dude. And I and rest in peace your underwear. Uh you probably threw them away. I will ask
because you had to sit at a ch a desk after two chats. I don’t know. Yeah. No, I was okay. I was okay.
Were you Was this an isolated event though? I want to know because like totally
like you haven’t done it since before. No, not at all. So I I think there is a little bit of uh they might have
thought, “Oh, that guy must have been sick or something.” That could be. So I think there’s that like if if you
if it was all the time. I know there used to be a dude uh
that would the first thing he would do when he got to work was go and take a big nasty [ __ ] And it was
always like, “Man, we we don’t we’re not hourly workers, man. Leave that [ __ ] at
home. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Take care of that before you come here. Don’t try to get paid on the clock to do whatever that is.
But it’s not. You’re not even on the clock. There’s no clock, dude. Dario Sullivan says, “Was this
after the Chipotle lunch?” No, there was some caterers in Catered in Bors Head
and apparently it didn’t sit right. Didn’t sit right with the So I still work.
You still They recall a ton of Bor’s head. Yeah, maybe they should have recalled this one before it got inside me. Number
two. Oh, go ahead. Go ahead. No, go ahead. Go ahead. I was going to say my floor was all dudes. So every morning if you had a
piss like you’re drinking coffee was you go go in there and take a piss you’re pissing. It is like a symphony of farts
and two and [ __ ] and you’re just like every stall would be full and
you’re just like good lord. I mean disgusting. And we were hourly. So that’s why people
were in there for like 30 minutes every day. Like you go in there, read the paper, take a [ __ ] you know, like every
damn day the same piece. All right, move on. That’s why MSS, that’s why you salary employees. They don’t spend all their
time [ __ ] All right, incident number two, Elmo.
This one didn’t involve me. I just witnessed it happen. I happened to go up in that and you know, you don’t I am a
person I try not to chat with people at all in the restroom. occasionally if it’s someone I know really well with say
one or two words or whatever. So I happen to run into someone who works on the other side of the business
but I know you know pretty well and and they whatever we don’t work on stuff daily but I I I ran into the person and
I you know I’m coming in and they’re coming out so they make a quick uh chat with me or whatever. So I’m like okay.
So, as I as I start to roll over to the urinal, I noticed them reach across me
onto the counter where, you know, where you would buy the sink where you’d wash your hands and grab something. And what
they grabbed was their bag of lunch that they went and picked up.
No, they brought it through the bathroom and it was sitting on the sink while
they did whatever they had to do. And then I had to talk to me first, but then it was like time to grab my lunch and I
was just looking and I was like, I that burned into my head. I will never forget that that person had their goddamn lunch
in the bathroom waiting patiently for them to go finish up so they can go get eaten.
That’s nasty. The dude The dude then proceeded to sit
and eat it over the sink. So, okay, let me get a seat. I’m going
to eat my egg salad. Uh, hey, uh, Loaf, you’ve been doing really good at work today. Uh, how’s it going?
Well, do you do you want any of these hard-boiled eggs? I eat them in here. Take out this [ __ ]
immediately. I was thinking, no, listen. You’re this lazy that you have to bring
the bad like you can’t be bothered to go back to the fridge to get your lunch.
You’re like, you know what? I’m just going to stop off here. Just leave my lunch where there’s [ __ ] flying
everywhere in the air. [ __ ] germs. I was thinking though like what ifit what if you had to go really bad and you
had been out to grab your lunch and you you’re like I got to I got to go to the bathroom. You just leave it outside the door, right? You don’t
you you assume it under your shirt. This is this is one of the few times it
doesn’t go in my opinion. You assume the best of people and you go, you know, I’m going to be in
there for 2 minutes. No one’s going to [ __ ] touch my lunch. I I’ll assume the best of these people. It’s I
normally would never do that. I normally would never do that, but in this case, I’d ra I’d rather do that than sit there
eating my lunch thinking. This was all inches away from [ __ ] moments ago.
Saying, “Uh, no, don’t bring food in the bathroom.” Timothy Meyer says, “I work at a law firm and I’ve gone into the stall and found an empty yogurt
container with the go. I hope we lost the case.” Oh my gosh. I’d be rude
against you, too. It did remind when you were saying like you don’t like to to talk, you know, in in there. So, there at at the old office
that I was at, there used to be a bathroom where it was one stall and then the urinal was right next to the the
stall, right? like there’s this and so obviously if you’re you can’t see either way but there was this dude it was one
of the craziest dudes I ever worked with but if you went in there to use the urinal while he was in the [ __ ] he’d
be like who who who is that you want to chat
how do you tell them no then what’s your voice like this [ __ ] this [ __ ]
needs to learn what kind of shoes everybody wears and this like [ __ ] with people cuz like Listen, Tresezy, we’re
not giving much away if you’re you’re you’re in you’re in low, you know, uh Converse most of the time. Is
that’s true. Hey, the what’s going on man? How about them socks or something, you know? Like
then that then I would be more okay with that than hey, who is that? Come talk to
me. I I wish Sam goes theres outing himself. I wish I had that amount of confidence.
I wish I had that kind of confidence. That is that is outlandish con uh confidence. Let’s go. Deer says this is
why 50 million people died in Europe in the 14th century. Exactly where these are unnecessary
risks in this. We’re heading back there, man. We’re heading back there. We’re definitely
Holy [ __ ] Jayl says, “Panetti the bull probably
breaks the balls off the after work.” What does that even mean?
I don’t know. It’s provocative though. Thank you, D.
Jayzel, Freddy Garcia ball, buddy. I didn’t forget about him. What I wanted. I hope Jayl was there for it to see that
happen. Oh man. All right. [ __ ] So, what else? What else going on? That’s it. I’m I’m done. I I appreciate
you guys uh hearing me out there. It’s That was tough. Some tough stuff I had going on there. I had to get off my
chest. Treezy, [ __ ] So, so I saw this story the other day.
Oh, man. He’s done. I’ll be be funny to hear this. Peace.
But you know, MSS, there’s there’s uh always two he went to go take one of those masks and have a have a little
have a little snack while he’s in there. No, I was laughing so hard I got some snot in my nose. I had to blow my nose.
You know, I could be the person with the booger hanging out while we’re talking and you guys We wouldn’t have told you. We wouldn’t have told you.
It’d be a good call back. You know, I saw this the other day and there’s always two sides to a story. So,
I’m gonna I’m gonna play both sides of the story, and you guys tell me who was who was in the right, who was in
the wrong. Sounds like But it starts off with the uh 911 dispatcher
calling out to a person. They’re calling a person’s home instead of the opposite. You know, you normally call the 911
dispatcher. They’re calling the person’s home. And this is the call. This is the call. I play it for you.
I just want to let you know, congratulations. You’ve won the prize at a contest. It’s called the Booby Prize.
You are the dumbest person to call this police department on a repeated basis. So, thank you for being a resident of
this city and have a wonderful life. What the Wow.
So, that’s that seems harsh. That seems harsh. A little harsh. Yes.
And so, this guy’s going to come fill the story in for us, the the other part of the story, and then we’re going to
decide how we feel about this. So, what’s going on here? Well, Karen Clinton says she’s somewhat of a
neighborhood watchdog in her hometown outside Cleveland. And over the years, she has called the non-emergency number
of the police department a lot over such issues as road construction safety, car
horns blasting at night, drinking and drug use, and so on. In fact, those
calls have apparently totaled 183 times in the past 15 years.
All right. So, here’s two interesting points to the
story. The lady that called to the other lady,
uh, the dispatcher, that was her last day on the job. So, she was retiring.
This is her final call. Was that a forced retirement? Final. No,
she was she was done. She was she so she wanted to tell this lady uh how much of a pleasure it’s been getting
calls from her 183 over the past 15 years.
And funny enough, so the other lady, the lady that has been calling the police
that much, two funny things there. One, in case you didn’t catch it, her name is Karen. Uh
comments definitely. And two, and two, she is a former police dispatcher.
So, I need a judgment on this, guys. Who was right and who was wrong in this scenario?
I was just trying to math it out. Uh, Dreezy 183 calls over 15 years. Well, so they asked the lady about that.
They asked the lady about that and who who made all those calls and she said that’s only one per month.
That’s what I was gonna say. Which isn’t excessive for what goes on around here. Although when I saw the
thing I was like what could be possibly going on around here? Well, that was going to be my point.
It’s not really that excessive. One a month. No, it could have been bunched up and maybe there was months where there wasn’t any whatever. can’t consistently
bet. It sounds more ridiculous when you when you take it, you know, when you put the number, but then when you start
spreading out, it doesn’t sound as bad to me, but it’s still a lot, especially
for mundane [ __ ] uh to to continually call. Now, my question is
this though, Treezy, the dispatch uh side, I assume she’s getting every
single one of those calls or at least she’s doing eight hour shift and it’s she’s catching most of them. I’m probably a small town. So, she’s talked
to that woman over a hundred times constantly. So, I wonder how much the woman who made all the calls just felt
like those people get lonely and she wanted to call in and just kind of keep them in the flow and action. I kind of
feel the uh the woman who made the calls. I think I’m okay with the with me calls with Karen. They Karen’s side, I
think. I think so. Yeah. MSS, where are you at? So, what what’s the town? What is the town? Was it Cleveland?
It’s outside of Cleveland. It’s outside of Cleveland. So, okay. It’s a small town. Let’s just say probably not
a lot of crime, probably not a lot of interaction. Once a month getting a call from Karen saying, “Hey, listen. There’s
a pothole over here on East Fifth. Come [ __ ] fill it or somebody should know about this. They’re going to they’re
going to [ __ ] up their new ride.” You know, like Karen is doing the Lord’s work here. And for somebody to take
their time to call the person on their last day and tell them, first of all, who uses booby prize? That’s stupid.
That’s the stupidest [ __ ] thing I’ve ever I did think the delivery was really weak.
You won the booby prize. Shut the [ __ ] up. You know, just be like, “Listen, [ __ ] Stop calling here. Like, if
you’re going to go out, go out. Don’t be like something really funny for Karen cuz Karen’s bothering me.”
Yeah. You got to go, “Fuck you. [ __ ] you. And [ __ ] you. Who’s next?” That type of [ __ ] You just became the Karen. So, no. The
dispatcher that left. [ __ ] her. No. Karen’s my lady. I like Karen. We should get Karen on the podcast. I bet you she
could get some to tell us some things and then maybe she could she could fix the potholes around my city. All right.
Yeah. Have her call some of that [ __ ] and have her call in when you almost got shot on 63rd and Western. Ain’t nothing wrong with [ __ ] calling
in or writing a report on your phone about your neighbor parking their inoperable car that’s been sitting there
for 6 months taking up a spot. There’s nothing wrong with that. You could do that. Or people shooting off too many
fireworks and blow and burning down a garage. Now I gota follow Now I gota follow about that [ __ ] [ __ ]
They got fireworks. Be I know you don’t ever call the non-emergency number or or 911. You
You’re rarely doing that. I want to know how often MSS does cuz it sounds No,
it sounds like he was giving examples of things he’s done. Here’s the thing.
Here’s the thing. I know it’s not you, so you don’t have to drink, but when this there was a literally there was a
pickup truck sitting in the same spot for six months. No city sticker, out of
state plates. I’m like, what the [ __ ] is this doing on our block? Get this the [ __ ] out of here. It’s not moving. Move
it. It’s winter. We’re shoveling spot. You get your goddamn car out of here. If it’s not working, get it out of here.
And uh yeah, so I I definitely I didn’t call anybody because you don’t call anymore. There’s an app. You just
[ __ ] write in the name. Take them. Okay. So, how many taken care of?
How many form fills you got? That’s two because I did some month
some This is actually kind of a funny story. So, one day out of nowhere, we have two
garbage cans. One garbage can is gone. It is just gone. and we happen to be driving uh little miss short stop to
school and uh uh the uh little sis summer is in the back seat and she sees
a guy pushing a garbage can down with with uh metal that he’s going to go
scrap and she goes hey that guy probably stole our garbage can. I was like no he probably didn’t but maybe he did but
it’s probably not him. So I had to call to get another garbage can uh to do that but that’s again it’s just on the app.
You don’t call anybody. You just go for the app. be like, “Listen, I need another bin.” And then they bring a bin to you. It’s awesome. It is. It’s really
easy. You don’t have to talk to people, which I’d love. Uh, so yeah, it’s great. Maher says, “Too bad they don’t have an
app for getting cops into a traffic accident.” [ __ ] No [ __ ] [ __ ] That’s true. You
know what’s You know what’s more [ __ ] up about that, Timothy, is that several police officers went by and talked to
me, but refused to actually do the goddamn job. Oh, jump guppy time. Guppy time.
Yeah, that sucker [ __ ] ruin drink. God damn it,
Timothy. I’m I’m with MSS. I’m signing with the Karen. I think it’s Yeah, Karen’s okay. She’s okay by me.
Kept the boring ass jobs from being so boring. I think I think it’s okay. You know, listen, if she called what was 183 times
in a year. Yes. Okay, I can understand that. You don’t win no prizes. Doing it once a
month. Sorry. Plus, you said booby prizes. [ __ ] you.
Oh, wrong Jazelle. There we go. Jel says, “Jayl, Freddy Garcia Ball, if I’m
not commenting, I’m not watching. Maybe one day I’ll buy you Polish and walk away. No one would believe you, MSS.”
No, they wouldn’t. It’s true. I don’t believe I just read that sentence. You did it really well. That was all
English. It’s all English words. I don’t know if
any of that was English. Oh. All right, MSS, you ready?
You want to pay some bills? Here we go. Summer’s not over yet. There is still
plenty of time to hang out on the fabulous patio at Lawrence’s Fish and Shrimp. Whether you’re dipping crispy
shrimp, diving into golden fish fillets, or just soaking up the Chicago sun with friends, our patio is the ultimate
summer hangout. It’s big, breezy, and built for everything from weekday lunches to weekend feasts. Let’s be
honest, come winter, you’re going to miss this. The laughs, the sunsets, homemade cocktails. What are you waiting

That patio is still open and as you know in the month of June they did uh patio
sessions every Tuesday in June. Now they did did one uh July 22nd. Their next one
is going to be August 19th. That’s the day before my birthday. Uh so they’re going to have uh John Jam and Jackson
out there on the ones and twos. Uh so if you want to do that and then the last one is wrapping up on September 23rd. So
yeah, get your ass out there and go on to that patio. Uh, sure. You’ll be happy to know they only have plastic
silverware, so you will not burn your little hands. That’s how you do it. Not going to burn your little hands while you’re trying to eat fish. But
plus, safety first. You need not anything you really need a plastic fork for.
Yeah, I’m eating with my hands. I’m eating with my hands there. So, good times over there. Go hit that patio up when it when it’s [ __ ] going
to be snowing in probably about seven weeks. Uh, you’ll be wishing that you would have went to the patio more. So,
let’s go. Beef, I hear you got a game for us. I do. I’m bringing back an old segment and
uh that segment is called uh did they [ __ ] We uh we’ve done did they [ __ ] two
other times. People are begging me people are begging me to include white socks Twitter personalities. I’m not
tonight. There’s no White Twitter personalities included tonight. Different categories we’re going to run through.
I I know, but I and I had a few ideas, but I’m like I don’t know. I don’t I don’t think this.
Take your time when you’re ready. We’ll wait on this. We’ll wait. We’ll wait till it’s perfect and I’ve got seven that I really want to use here.
So, all right. Uh first up, I’m going to do some uh some television shows. Um you
know, I’ve done cartoons before, but I don’t know if I’ve done really television shows. And so, my first one, and this one’s for the old-timers.
This was a tele television show called Thre’s Company. And the characters on screen, uh they all live together
actually. Uh that’s Jack, Chrissy, and Cindy. Uh very interesting group living
together and my sack summer did Jack Chrissy and Cindy [ __ ] on Thre’s
company. Go ahead Ezy. I’m going 100% here. Going 100%. Really?
It was like 70s, early 80s, right? Like I mean like that’s like the the era of
this. It’s early 80s, I think. Yeah, that’s that’s [ __ ] [ __ ] 83. That’s uh
Look at Look at how happy he is. all the time in this show, man. He’s he plays the bumbling idiot when the the landlord
comes around and stuff because bumbling gay idiot when Yeah. He tries to pretend he’s gay. That’s part of the Yeah, that’s part of
the thing, right? Two women little kin fab. You know, all act
he’s getting down. Definitely. How about you, MSS? What What are you feeling here? You know,
did they [ __ ] [ __ ] Yeah, they [ __ ] Yeah, 100%. Uh, I mean, you you can’t you can’t live with
two women like that. Uh, unless it was me when I used to live out west with two women and not [ __ ] you know, like it’s
just it just you you Chrissy was fun, too. Like, she’s bubbly, she’s blonde, Jack’s
a cool guy, you know? Now, here’s what I’m going to say. Let’s twist it up. This is who I want to know if they
[ __ ] Did Janet and Chrissy [ __ ] you know? Like, did they get down? Cuz they had to share a room. I think a that’s
more of a question than if Jack [ __ ] them because it definitely Jack definitely [ __ ] him. But I wonder if
they those two got together and they had a little sauce on the side. Well, that’s what I was wonder that’s kind of what I was wondering too
is if there was a three-way action and I also want to ask you guys Yeah. Are you a Are you a Janet or a or a
Chrissy? Are Janet or Chrissy? I’m trying to remember. I mean, I see
them on there right now. I’m trying to remember them from the show. Probably Probably Chrissy. That’s probably more
my speed. Okay. All right. Oh, wait. Which one’s That’s the dark hair, right? Uh, Janet’s a dark hair. Chrissy is
Suzanne Summers. Yeah. Janet then. Okay. You’re You’re a Janet. Yep. Okay. MSS. You’re definitely a Chrissy.
Yeah, I’m a Chrissy, but I was also uh Terry Gross, too, when uh when she was on Terry. Was it just Terry?
Um who was the one that replaced Suzanne Summers when they got in the contract disputes? Uh she just passed away, too.
Uh was another blonde. Uh shocker. Um, I don’t know quite enough about Thre’s
Company, but there was another blonde that replaced her. But, you know, here’s the deal, though, too.
We can Janet was like looked a little bit enough like um Joan Jet, so I kind
of dug her too, like you’re just like I loved Joan Jet as a as a kid and I still
love Joan Jet, but I really really liked her then. Yeah, Priscilla Barnes was Terry. Uh, that was uh Suzanne Summers
replacement. Uh, she was pretty good-looking, too. So, uh, yeah. I I mean, I’m not going to say no to anybody
but Jack and Larry. Uh, probably. I wouldn’t say I wouldn’t say yes to Larry. Even Larry, I think you’re kind of in. I’m going to be honest with you. Let’s
be Let’s be honest. No, he he was a player. The com the comments. Oh, Don Knots 100%.
The com Yeah. Yeah. Suzanne Summers. People are senior socks. Just in time for [ __ ]
talk. Absolutely. And uh and my guy uh both
my guy SPF says uh Suzanne Summers says, “Very beautiful breasts.” Allegedly. Allegedly. I’ve never seen them.
Only covered in shirts have I seen. So yeah, this poor guy. All right.
Next up is a show that I think all of us enjoyed kind of in in it like Thre’s Company was in reruns by the time we
were watching it. Really? This show was a contemporary of us, especially when we’re younger men. We’re coming of age.
This is a show called Married with Children. And uh my question for you
guys, and I’ll start with MSS here, is did Peggy Bundy and Jefferson Darcy
[ __ ] they sure had a lot of time on their hands. That’s for sure. There’s no way Peg Bundy is walking out
on Al. No [ __ ] way. Al was like a high school football star, you know, and
he provided a very good lovely like living situation for his wife. There is
no way. It’s a shoe salesman. She Hey food.
Does she work? No. She gets to stay home on a shoe salary. I I mean shoe salesman
salary. I mean this is No. Listen. No way. No way. There’s no way Peg Bundy
walked out on Al. Stepped out on Al. No way. Especially not with Jefferson
says no trezy. How about you in hell? Bundy and Jefferson Darcy. [ __ ] Let me say that I I agree with MSS but
in a totally different way because I would understand if she did cuz Al just
wouldn’t wouldn’t give it to her. Yeah. For it all the time. Always crazy for it. Jefferson’s a handsome dude, you
know, like he’s he’s always always around, you know. He ain’t getting none at home. And so like the opportunity was
there, but but Peg Bundy is a ride or die. She’s a [ __ ] ride or die. She ain’t
cheating on Al. She ain’t cheating on Al. No. Wow. Okay. Okay. You guys, like I said, I’d understand, but I No.
Ain’t happening. They’re both saying no. I mean, I I did this under the premise that they’re both
the more attractive spouse. They both are home all the time. They don’t do a goddamn thing. I They would have had a
lot of time. They could have been around each other. I don’t remember them being particularly attracted to each other in
the show at all, but I don’t know. My mind just went wandering there. So, I feel like Jefferson, like if you if
you took any random woman that went into the shoe store and Jefferson, I would have said yes.
You would have said yes. I don’t think totally [ __ ] Peg wanted to get down with with
Jefferson. Yeah, I Peg wanted to do Jefferson is what it
dominate him. Yeah. My gosh. Get your get your weird fantasies out of our podcast. S come on.
Watch Jefferson was in the CIA if you Yeah, that’s right. Yeah, it wasn’t just a
huge loss. All right, last last of the television shows and it’s one that’s near and dear to my heart and one where
you have to when we think about this one, we might have to think a little bit beyond the actual end of the show and
the story board here, but that’s a show called Sopranos. Oh, and I my question for you guys, we’ll
start with Trezy. Did Carmela surprise you? Yeah, definitely. And Furio Jun the [ __ ]
that [ __ ] doesn’t get doesn’t get the [ __ ] out of there if it didn’t happen. [ __ ]
is in on it, too. [ __ ] See, I thought I wasn’t sure if during
the actual run of the show they did, but when you come to the conclusion that
Tony gets killed in the end, then the door is wide. God open,
baby. Hopefully they could find him in Antarctica where he went to his eyes out big time.
Remember when he was like when he was like shoved off like he was gone and like Carmela like broke down and was
crying and was a mess. You don’t you if if it’s just a friend, you don’t you don’t cry like that. You
cry a little bit. Then he then you have you have a [ __ ] hard iced tea from Aldi and then you’re all fine. Uh but
this guy Yeah. Peach Peach’s good. Raspberry not so good. Don’t really like the raspberry. Uh but yeah, the 100%
they they boned. Uh but you don’t break down and cry like that if you hadn’t boned. So I get it. The audience is like 100% with you guys.
Same sucks. They [ __ ] They definitely [ __ ] Nice level 110%. Jerry Sullivan all day every day. Sean Djangowski. Yes.
God. Yeah. All right. Well, I guess that was an easy one for you guys. Uh let’s
change categories here. All right. We’re going to go with some Chicago centric
oh uh people. These are Chicago royalty for the most part. And so we’ll we’ll have a couple pairs here.
And so my first one is going to feature uh the guy who owned Chicago before
Michael Jordan and that is Walter Payton? And my question for you guys is did Walter Payton ever [ __ ]
Michael Jordan? Wanita Jordan. Oh man. Did Walter Payton ever [ __ ] Wanita
Jordan? I’ll start with my sucks summer. Oh my god. Oh my god. I I first of all
for you even asking that question. I don’t I don’t like it. Well, hang on. Hang on. You slow the
[ __ ] down. Okay. All right. There were so many whispers about Walter Payton
just being a ladies man or whatever. And all throughout his career, he owned Chicago, by the way, before Michael
Jordan. Okay? He was way more famous. When Jordan got here, Jordan was liked, but he wasn’t. You think of Jordan and
end of Jordan’s career when he was Jordan. When he first got here, this was Walter’s [ __ ] town. They’re not that
far apart. Like, they’re not a ton for like I think I think it’s like six or seven years difference in age. So, it’s
not like it’s a tremendous amount. And obviously, you could see their boys hanging out and all this [ __ ] And uh
you know, I don’t know. I don’t know. Wasita like with MJ when he was in college and [ __ ] though, too?
I don’t think so. I think that was after college. Did she meet him in Chicago? Was I needed from Chicago
and uh I think so. Yes. I think because I knew someone that knew her when she was
young. So I believe so. I think that that’s So is there is there Okay. So Okay. Here here’s how I see if it if it goes down.
This is how it goes down. Walter Payton metanita Jordan before Wanita Jordan met Michael Jordan. Okay.
So then that potentially could they have [ __ ] Yes. Potentially potentially could have happened. Uh, but I I don’t
think there’s a a way in hell. No way in hell in 85 uh Mana Jordan is stepping
out on Michael Jordan and [ __ ] Walter B. No, I just don’t see it. Nope, I don’t see it. All right, Treezy, how about you, my
friend? Ah, yeah. I I I assume
I assume GBT. I always assumed
uh watching him as a player and watch you know him being one of my favorite football players of all time. I I just
always assumed that he [ __ ] 80 to 90% of the women in the city. Uh so I think
she falls into that category. I think that’s you know if if if I’m if I’m giving him that big of a distribution I
think that uh you know pro probably and I you know Michael wasn’t there. He
was on [ __ ] someone else. Wow. That’s what I was going to say. You know, I don’t know. Things are w You say
things are wild in the 70s. 80s was wild, too, man. I I ain’t I ain’t saying. I’m just saying. You know, can’t even believe what happened in the
early 90s when Frank Thomas showed up. The Hunt Club was never any different
than that. Uh Timothy Maher says, “If we did, you know, Jordan gave him to cancer.”
Jesus Jackie says, “MJ looks like a middle manager in that picture.”
Who the hell is going on ebony and looking like this? What the Oh my god. Time, man.
Look how bald Michael looks too in this. This is a terrible. What the hell was Michael doing there?
He was trying to hang on to it. Trying to hang on, man. And people are shave your head, man. Don’t just don’t do it. Okay, so Chad GPT actually has
some good information. Okay, so Anita met was born in Chicago and worked as a loan
officer for a bank when she met Michael Jordan. They introduced through a mutual friends at a Benigan’s restaurant after
a Bulls game in 1985. Dude, you imagine like [ __ ] 1985 Michael Jordan
hooking up with his wife at a Benigans of all places. [ __ ] Benigans. Uh
there is no uh credible information that he ever met Wanita according to Chad
GPT. So maybe I’m with Trees now. That Walter Payeyton ever met Wanita?
Yes. See AI is he hung out. There’s a 50 pictures of of Payton and Jordan together.
I’m just saying they have definitely met. Get the hell out of here. Come on. You know, I’m going to go out on a limb and say though, guys,
what? Benigans was pretty [ __ ] good. I wish they still had Benigans a little more around the I know you were a Benigan guy. You would
go downtown back in the day. Yeah, I’ve eaten at that Benigans. [ __ ] good.
There’s there’s more. Uh Swedes is running wild. Sax has two good
comments. First he says Walter Payton could have [ __ ] Violet Myers in his prime more so than you MSS. Then he says
Ebony is my top. Why’d you add that? Why you got to add that [ __ ] in? He also he also knows about the Monte
Cristo at uh at Benit. So I realiz
incredible. I can’t believe MSS. This is also fun. They’re they’re giving me
ideas for the next one. Uh he goes uh Richard Jane Burn. That’s that’s a good
one. We we’ll bring that one back some other time. I I don’t have that one lined up tonight. Wow. Eugene Sawyer. Watch. Need a picture of that.
It’s You know, it’s funny. It’s funny he went there because I thought Harold Washington for a minute cuz Harold was
supposed to be a little bit of a philanderer and then I just lost the thread. I’m like I wasn’t that interested in it, so I didn’t do it. But
anyway, man, I should ask Grock if they [ __ ] Grock might know might have some different information.
Another Chicago centric pair, although I’m only going to show you a picture of one of them. and very much
contemporaries and that is John Cusack and the sultry Liz Far.
Did they ever [ __ ] my suck summer? You’re first.
That’s hard. That’s really hard knowing the background that I know of fair.
That’s potential. That’s a definite potential that they that they probably boned. Um
yeah, I’m going to say yes. I’m going to say yes that they [ __ ] uh just because
Liz was always trying to get ahead whatever way she could and and [ __ ] John Cusack seems to go right in line
with that. So I’m gonna I’m gonna 100% go with yes, they [ __ ] Theresa E, what do you think about it?
John Cusk and Liz Fair. [ __ ] I’m I’m gonna say yes. But uh
beef, I was you know in my previous career I worked in the music business.
Yes. And I was just having I was I was driving around town with the guy been in a lot
of bands and uh and I was talking to him and I was and we were just talking music and stuff and he was asking me about
he’s not from here. He’s so he was asking me about Chicago music and I mentioned Liz Fair and he’s like, “Oh
yeah, yeah, I’m familiar with Liz Fair.” He’s like, “You know how you you know how you [ __ ] Liz Fair?” And I I said,
“How?” She goes, “Join her band.”
Damn. I know. Hold on. I don’t know how true that is. I don’t know where that came from, but
it was it was said to me in passing like it was nothing. So,
let’s be honor
and, you know, gossip, but uh it was enough for me to answer yes to this
question. Horny or not, Exile and Guyville. Great album. Yeah, that’s got to be honest. That’s a
backup. I like great musician. Uh, so okay. All right. The comments
singer sucks as wood. Now they’re trying to bring like Doliaak and Eugene.
I should do an all Chicago politics one next time. I like that. Senior Socks is the guy
that has 19 children is like, “Yeah, I’d [ __ ] her. Of course you would. You have 19 kids. Come on, please.
Sammy Davis says, “Blue Sky Crew about to get this podcast cancel.” I don’t think so. I think this is a fun, friendly. We’re okay with it. Whoa.
John Cusack will block all of us. Well, he’s already got only if he didn’t [ __ ] He’d be mad and
then he would block us. But if he [ __ ] he probably wouldn’t care that much. So, it’ be funny if he just showed up in the comments and was like, “Yep, that would
be it.” Half iced tea, half lemonade. Uh, not the best one, but not not the worst.
Better than raspberry, but not not all the best. I don’t know. These are not a suitable replacement.
Replacement for what? The Sun Cruisers. I like the Sun Cruisers. All right. All right. Well, you you went
cheap and that’s what All right. Next up, got to try. Next up, we got uh last two uh not the
last pair, two pairs left. We’ll call these ones high school chums. These are people who went to high school
together. They’re famous now. And we’re going to find out what you guys think if they [ __ ] Now, very
famously, uh, this pair went to high school together in Southern California,
and that is, uh, Kelvin Baratis, known as Snoop Dogg, and Cameron Diaz. And so,
my question for you, Trezy E, is did they [ __ ] I’m going to say no. Okay, I’m going to
say no. I mean I I think you know Cameron was probably
one of the hottest people in the class and Snoop who I love but he was a tall
lanky [ __ ] Yeah. Yep. You know and like great rapper and he was probably probably a very confident
dude. probably could spit game and everything, but I think in high school
it it’s a lot about looks, man. And and Snoop was growing into the very tall,
lanky rapper that he would become. I think it’s too too awkward of a phase for him
cuz like, you know, I mean, even though at 19 when we all got introduced to him, he was
doing pretty good. Pretty good. Looking pretty good. But you got to remember this is a couple
years before that. No one knows who the [ __ ] he is. You know, he was probably high as [ __ ] all the time, too, which
doesn’t help you get laid. Uh, okay. That’s I’m gonna say no.
All right. MSS Snoop and Cameron Diaz. Did they [ __ ] I would t I would tend to
agree with the until I I Googled this and the AI overview tells me that Snoop
was one year older than Diaz. And Cameron says that she bought weed from
Snoop. Uh and she he said that he might have sold her some white girl weed uh at
one point which he’s what she describes as containing sticks, stems, and seeds.
So he gave her he gave her the twigs and berries. Um, I I’m only going to assume because he sold her weed and he was a
year older, he had the confidence to look past the great good looks of her and and probably got down on it. So,
yes, they they totally [ __ ] Uh, mostly because that’s what I think. Yeah.
Interesting. Also, Polytechnic High School, which is where they went, uh, has sent more kids to the NFL than
any other school in the entire country. So, breed NFL players at Long Beach
Poly. I feel like Willie McGinness is like an old friend of Snoops, too. I wonder if
he went there, but but like I remember he’s an old buddy of his. I mean, there’s 4,000 students there. So, I mean, that’s a big ass school.
It’s like a community college, maybe bigger. beef. I’ll default to MSS for how much time he spent on the West
Coast, but as someone who hung out with a lot of the guys that sold drugs in high school, most were unfuckable. Uh,
so the reason you kept them around was to get access to the drugs necessarily.
Yeah. Right. So, and it’s not like he was he almost was running a scam. He probably didn’t even
look at her like like that back then. He probably looked at her like, I could scam these kids out of this [ __ ] you
know? Like that’s what it sounds like. I just wonder too if uh like No one
[ __ ] somebody for weed, right? You [ __ ] somebody for like crack cocaine or uh
heroin or that kind of [ __ ] Do you? Yeah, I guess. I mean, that’s what I see in the movies. Like I don’t know. I
mean, but it’s like no one I thought you were speaking from personal experience. No, no one says, “Hey, I’ll suck your
dick for a [ __ ] blunt.” No one. I’ve never heard that. Not one time. I have heard I’ll suck your dick for some rock,
but I’ve never heard I’d suck your dick for some blunts. Okay. MSS was selling rock out there.
No, I was not. No, no. His dick was very dry, TZY. That’s what
he’s trying to tell you. No, it was unsuckable because no rocks. He had no rocks there. Alex has got the same idea as you. MSS
speaking from experience. No, I am not speaking from experience. Not at all.
Oh, beautiful. Jerus Alvin Snoop has definitely bone Martha Stewart. Of course, that’s
unquestionable. I I I’m not wouldn’t be shocked about that at all. I think you have to.
Yeah. The the comically goon to Cameron Diaz the mascot. Oh man,
we didn’t even know that. I mean, this is about Snoop and Cameron Diaz, not you and your personal time with her.
When I lived out west and I had a buddy who had a house on the beach. Go ahead
and read this. read. RIP Bob Saget who sucked dick for blow.
I love that Bob Saget comedy special where he’s like, “Yeah, I’m walking down the street with with my daughters and
the car drives by and the guy yells out the window, “Hey, it’s Bob Saget. You suck dick for Coke.”
This guy I knew that lived in Long Beach was on the beach used to have a Fourth of July party every year. We went to his Fourth of July party. His neighbor was
Cameron Diaz and she hated him because he would have parties and people would throw cigarette butts over the [ __ ]
fence into her yard and she would go nuts. So I never met him. I never met
her. I met him cuz I partied there. But I never met her. But yeah, he lived right next door to Cameron Diaz. He He
was a shy. I loved him. He was great. She made 183 calls to
and he whispered in MSS. You know Snoop Boner in high school, right? That’s That’s why he insult. That’s why
she’s a fan of Snoop. She plays Snoop all the time and starts crying. All right, last one. Last one. High
school chums. Or did they [ __ ] um and this is uh Zack Braph from H from Scrubs
and uh Lauren Hill from the formerly from the Fujis and had her own strong musical career as well. My sack summer,
Zack Braph and Lauren Hill did they [ __ ] denied. There is absolutely no [ __ ] way
Lauren Hill [ __ ] sack rap. I don’t even understand this question. There is
no there’s absolutely no [ __ ] way. Lauren Hill once made a statement, I’d
rather my children starve than sell album to a white person or have a white person buy my album. I don’t think she’s
[ __ ] uh Zack Braph the whitest person ever. So, no. That’s that’s a no for me.
Crazy. Where are you at? Uh, Zack Breth, Lauren Hill, did they [ __ ]
It’s so It seems like people are so on the side that it couldn’t have happened that it must have happened. So,
I’m going to say yes. I’m going to say yes to this. Uh, I I don’t know why, but
I just feel like there’s some insane scenario where this happened and it just
led to the whole world being wrong about this question. So, I I’ll say yes. I’ll go the other way. When you guys zigg, I
zag. I mean, here here’s the thing, too. Like, I assume, and I don’t I don’t know
a lot about their high school years. I assume they’re both like art school uh kids, right? You have that kind of
career that they had. The same high school. I assume you’re both Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey.
So, you’re both kind of like, you know, artsy dorks. Like, I don’t know. Why not? Why wouldn’t you? You know, it’s I
hear what you’re saying, MSS and and Trezy. I’m willing to zag with you. Senior Sax says, “What if he has a BWC?”
What if he was He’s Senior Socks. He’s
I don’t know. I don’t I just don’t think so. I don’t think I just don’t I don’t think I don’t know. Yeah. You’re out. You’re out on this.
I’m out.
Giving it to you in the comments a little bit. I like he banged her. He banged her to the
Garden State soundtrack. Absolutely. Well, thanks guys for
participating in another rendition of Did They [ __ ] That’s good stuff.

Senior Sox is mad at you. He says, “I just don’t think so.” Oh, so you can have BWC MSX.
It’s not that. He could definitely be packing, right? It would make sense. He seems he’s very talented. First off, if
you’ve ever seen him in a T-Mobile commercial, this guy is a good actor. Just say he’s very talent. Leave it at that. He’s he’s he’s very talented. The
T-Mobile stuff is good. Uh but he Yeah, he could totally have a huge dick. I don’t know. But I didn’t say that. I
just don’t think Lauren Hill would [ __ ] him even if he had a huge dick. I think she has plenty of access to huge dicks and they don’t have to belong to Zack
Bra. That’s all I’m going to say. And that’s how we lead into White Socks
talk, guys. Trade deadline today. Yeah, trade deadline came and went. The
Socks didn’t do a lot, but they did do a couple things. We’re going to talk about those and then we’re going to talk about
some of the things that they didn’t do. Yeah. See where everybody lands. But let’s start with the first one. Austin Slater
goes to the Yankees for Gage Seal. What a name, Gage Seal. I like I like the
name Gage. Uh MSS was talking about a game recently. Uh
different Gage, but yeah. Yeah, well maybe she’s pretty dope.
But be fun to kick it to you first and just, you know, I think we’ve both appreciated what Austin Slater brought
to this team. It was weird that he was like the top target of the team for for the free agency, but
he he is a he is a good player. He he does exactly what he’s supposed to do,
which is mash lefties and play a decent right field to play play left field a little bit too. And even you could put
him in center if you were getting real risque. But uh but what did you think about the trade? What did you think
about the and uh where you at with it? So yeah, I mean I’m glad you bring up Austin uh Slater Treezy. the White Socks
this year uh in a surprise event uh watching White Sox for the past 15 years decided to
actually put a platoon in right field to try to solve the problem of right field where they’ve had no production for a
really long time. The last time they had good production there was Adam Eaton I guess an an off obviously Garcia year
where he had 330 or whatever the [ __ ] but or the Adam eaten years been a while and it worked. They didn’t strict
platoon the guys, but Mike Tman has hit the [ __ ] out of the ball, particularly against right-hand pitching. Austin
Slater has smashed the [ __ ] out of lefties. Uh, and it really they did a nice job for very low cost. Covered up
that spot. With regards to the trade, obviously you’re trading a guy who uh
was getting paid $1.75 million, one-year contract. There’s an old adage, you can never have too much pissing pissing. You
can never Well, you can never have too much pissing either. How you doing, R. Kelly,
if there’s an old language you can ever have too much pitching, however, I’m going to say [ __ ] that
language. Let me tell you why. Let me tell you why. Uh, Theresy, this guy, this Gage Zeal, when you look
at the profile, it’s like a fifth starter profile of a guy who’s in [ __ ] aball. Okay? The White Sox
should never ever ever with this regime trade for a [ __ ] guy like this. And let me tell you why. They could find
decent arms basically for free to serve this purpose. And they have done this three [ __ ] times this year already.
Mike Vessel absolutely free has filled in admirably like that. Adrien Hower, who we’re going to get to later in a
trade, free just out there. Nobody, right? Uh Shane Smith and the rule five
free. Better than uh number five starter production. They don’t need to buy a
number fifth starter and [ __ ] a ball and hope he makes it to the majors. sort of a pointless exercise. Even when they
spent a little bit of money, you can get Martin Perez for $3 half million and he got hurt, but that’s okay. He was doing
good production work out great. It wasn’t great. Eric Fetty was only $7.5 million per year. So, I don’t see the the utility in
the White Socks doing this. I I wouldn’t want to smack Chris Gats and tell him, “Don’t [ __ ] trade for guys like this
anymore. Don’t trade for the guy that’s got no upside and [ __ ] a ball and that if it works out perfectly, he’s a
backend or a spot starter.” [ __ ] that. If you’re going to get those guys, get the one in TripleA so we can use them right goddamn now. Don’t do whatever the
hell this was. And so I didn’t love the trade. I’ll be honest with you. This fan graph’s page says, “Shut up.
Looks like a high floor depth starter with vanilla stuff.” Like that doesn’t seem like the kind of
guy that you that you even want in your system. What’s the point? What’s the point of training for that?
What What can you turn this into? Not much, right? like he throws a lot of strikes which is good but like you know
as soon as he goes to the next level then it’s going to be start start coming up with okay well he’s getting the [ __ ]
knocked out of him because he throws a ton of strikes without a lot of movement and here we go this guy just never pans
into anything so yeah it’s it’s it’s a weak profile for a lottery ticket
because that’s what you’re getting for Austin Slater let’s be honest I mean it’s not Slater isn’t going to bring back something fantastic
but Austin Slater should bring back something that is a like a very very risky upside play. So,
that’s the kind of thing you’d want to go after. Here’s where I’m going to disagree with both of you because you both seem to be poo pooing something.
I I am just going to say that I finally tr I trust Brian Bannister to pick a
person for some reason. There’s a reason that this guy has was picked and they threw him on there and they’re like,
“Hey, let’s let’s put this guy in. I see something in him. I can make something happen. Let’s just not argue with what
he’s done with other pitchers that we had this year. I mean, this is I we’re not I just laid out an argument
how he is good at doing this. So, why trade for a guy that’s five years away? We can get one that’s right here right now.
But you say what’s the point? Why? What’s the point of that? If you’re going to get something that’s far away and get some risky [ __ ] that might get
here and be really fun or do something, you can find these guys and they did. They found three of them [ __ ] guys
this year for nothing. just do that and [ __ ] the this [ __ ] where it’s like a
low on starter. Get the [ __ ] out. All right. I I think it’s fine. I I also question how much Banister
would have had to do with the trade here, right? Like I feel like when you’re trying to move a guy like Austin
Slater, you’re kind of seeing what people will give you for him. It’s not like there’s almost bitters, right? Like so maybe to
your points, there was offers from three or four teams where they’re like, “Hey, we’ll give you this guy.” and this was
the best of a bad bunch. But like even then like Banner probably goes out of
all these guys, this is the guy that I’d want to work with, but it’s just so far away and just like there’s nothing here
that’s like oo that’s interesting, right? Like there’s it’s like vanilla stuff throws a lot of strikes.
That’s that doesn’t uh I get it. that doesn’t pump my nads as the kids as the
kids say in the 80s. All right, let’s move on to the next one because
this is the bigger trade. This is where where the magic happened, but this is one that we were like
they better move this guy. This is this this is your only only trade ship that like kind of felt like this has to
happen. And that was Adrien Hower. So, he goes to the Rays for third base/ second base Curtis Meade. More third
base than second base. Uh, right-hand pitcher Ben Peoples and right-handed pitcher Duncan Davitt. Uh, Duncan Davitt
seems like he’s like 26 still in in like I think he’s in double A right now.
I think he’s made it to AA. He touched AAA, but I think it was a it was a disaster. Um, so I’m I’m not so
interested in that one, but beef, give me where you’re at with Curtis Me and Ben Peoples. Maybe Ben Peoples is a
little bit interesting. Yeah. I mean, here’s the thing, like we’re watching all day. We’re watching the trades and and then you start
getting reports out that uh certain guys are not probably not going to go for the White Socks, but you’re looking at Hower
all day. You’re like and and he’s got to go as you’re saying uh Treezy and all I
kept thinking about is that meme of the of bros like frozen and bros been frozen
for 45 minutes. I’m like that’s Cats. He’s frozen right now and we had to wait deep into the 4:00 hour before this
movie made. Like I was walking back to my car. I left the office at whatever like 4:42 or something and it it didn’t
pop until I’m like almost back to my car. It’s like holy [ __ ] man. It took a a long time for them to actually pull
the trigger. The Rays being the the trade partner was weird in my opinion because they kind of they did what the
Rays do at some of these deadlines where they sold some [ __ ] and bought some [ __ ] They kind of went in both directions here. Doesn’t mean they’re
not trying to compete. As far as the Hall, uh Curtis me was a really highly
rated prospect as recent as 2024. I mean, it’s coming into that year. He was a pretty good name prospect. The bat
just has not come through at the major league level. This profile to me it looks a lot drezy like Miguel Vargas’
profile in that very good trip AAA numbers. The bat was touted kind of all the way up and then
it flopped really [ __ ] hard when you got to the majors. What do you think about that comp and what do you think
about the the prospects of that bat improving in the majors? So, I think that’s the the thing you have to decide
is like do you think that Miguel Vargas is a one-off uh kind of situation or do you believe
that there is a trend of Anthony Santandere into Miguel Vargas in now
into Curtis Maid and that Ryan Fuller can unlock something and like that’s the
that’s the biggest question you have there. I think one question that’s kind of answered when you start reading about him,
sorry, I was about to sneeze. Try to avoid that everywhere. That would have been awesome. Uh, one
thing that seems to be pretty as I read through a lot of stuff is that like uh
second base that happened, but uh ain’t got to happen again. So, so this is this
is a third baseman, right? Like that’s that’s your best scenario for him. It’s it’s even looking defensive profile
that it’s third first with no like you said, no second. So similar to Vargas in that way too. Very
probably similar basically to Vargas. Um so if that is the case though, the
power really has to be there, right? If you’re giving third base or even first base at bats to somebody, I mean 25 home
runs is a minimum. So like he’s got he’s got to figure out the power piece of this and and just the the contact piece
because there’s a lot of strike out here. He’s a good He’s guy can hit in zone like he’s makes good contact in the
zone but strikes out a lot. So like that I think it’s going to be interesting to see what they do with him. It’s going to
be interesting to see if they put him at Charlotte for a while and try and figure things out or if he just comes to the
bigs and just like is thrown into the mix, right? Because I don’t think anyone worried that he’s sent to Charlotte uh
short term. But I would think Josh Roas is on a short list. I don’t think anyone would cry if Josh Roas was suddenly
exactly what I was gonna say. Uh right now currently Josh Rojos is a negative 1.3 war. Curtis me is a positive.4
war. So we we already have a better player just according to one [ __ ] stat. Now no neither one of them really
have a lot of in their bat. But Curtis me has two more home runs than Josh
Rojas. So and me has the pedigree at bats. So, he’s supposed to be that.
Well, I understand. But like, but what I’m saying is he’s going to come up and he’s going to like replace Josh Rojos cuz that’s what that’s what it is. Rojos
is just he’s in the dumpster right now. And then his running yesterday really sunk him. Like he just like he looked
back and was going slow and then I mean like don’t send him like come on. This
guy ever since he cut his hair just got nothing. He’s got nothing for me. I don’t but in general ty I like the I
like the type of pickup this is and most people won’t like it because oh post hype whatever and and G made it and and
people love people love like top top prospects even if they’ve sucked through four teams but they they seem to not
like team two guy failed like Vargas last year people seem to hate that grab and I’ve seen a lot of people that don’t
really care for this grab so far but the idea here is you have the playing time
for these guys and so you have a longer gestation period of like I could throw that guy there and give him 400 plate
appearances before I have to give up on him, you know. And that same thing with Varner. So, you’re going to give them
time to work on stuff. He’ll have I assume he’ll show up at some point uh this season. Then you’ll have the
offseason. Then you’ll have next year for him to start working on stuff and try to work his way into the rotation. And you got plenty of play appearances
there. I mean, you’ll you’ll have some DH spots, you have some first, some third. There should be plenty to to give it a shot there. And so, I like them
trying this. It would have been probably a higher utility if they plucked an outfielder uh with the with the kind of the same
position here, you know, like it was a post a lot more opportunities on this team. Yeah, exactly. But but I mean I I like
that approach right now while the White Sox have open spots and can slide a guy in there and say, “All right, we’re going to we’re going to play you a lot,
you know, and then that they have the utility of doing that right now.” So no problem with with with me from that perspective. They were counting on
having a lot of a lot of playing time because they’re going to trade Lenin Sosa, but just didn’t somehow didn’t come to fruition.
I for one, I’m shocked. Unbelievable. Unbelievable that that didn’t happen. Uh, but I will I will say that I you know I I don’t it’s hard to
love a trade when like this is a guy that you picked up off the street in like May, right? And like so yeah, like
no one’s gonna like you’re not going to get that much exciting stuff for a guy that everybody could have had just just
a couple months ago. So I do like that they they went a similar route. But I I
was interested in Ben Peoples. I don’t know you know how much you’ve looked at him beef, but like it does seem like a
guy who they’ve tried to have a starter role for, but it’s probably not going to
work out. And this guy, this guy’s, it feels like a guy that’s gonna be in our bullpen this year. Like I don’t think
it’s he’s far away from being in the bullpen this year. And if they could turn him into something in relief, which
it seems like he’s almost there. Um it’d be interesting. Now,
big if here, because the guy has trouble throwing strikes. He could strike people
out. Trouble throwing strikes. which is a, you know, that’s the kind of thing that
you tend to trade for in these scenarios and see if you could make it work. Uh, but I think it’ll be interesting to see
what they get out of him. We might see him quicker than me in my opinion. Yeah, I I think you’re right. I think
he’s he could be instantly into the bullpen. He sits like 93 96. He is his
mix is mostly just fast ball slider, but I saw some blurb about like he had started working on a change up and I
wonder if they saw him and thought, “Oh, we think we can teach him this kick change up know that some of these guys
are whatever to help him be a little more effective. We can ruin his arm.” Well, and and at this point, you just
grab a guy, right? And it’s okay. You get to give it a shot and and put them in the bullpen. But it does feel like
another one of these mismatch parts that they might try to feed through the bullpen here. I looked up he is rule
five eligible now. So he has survived uh you know rule five at least one time. Uh
he’d need to be added. Uh he’s he’s not uh currently on the the 40man. So but I agree with you. Quick mover. Probably
someone we’ll see in the bullpen down the stretch. Kind of like last year when they turned over the bullpen a little bit. Although I don’t think there’s too
many people in that bullpen right now at the DFA. And since they didn’t trade anyone from it, it might be a little
longer before we see a guy get turned over and thrown into that bullpen. So maybe a little different than that. Well, it depends though. It depends on
what they do for the fifth starter, right? Because they’ve got to wait for Martine for a little bit at least to
come back and then you’re going to start winding down Shane Smith. If you start giving Vassel innings or if you start
giving Tyler Alexander a lot more innings like you might need another bullpen arm in there. So yeah, I don’t
know. We’ll see. We’ll see how that one goes. I’m interested in him though. I am interested in him only because I feel
like he’s very close to being uh someone we watch. You know, it’s it’s always tough when you get like a single A guy
and you’re like, “Okay, I’ll see that guy in like three, four, five years.” And and you kind of just forget about
him. So, this this one is both of these guys seem closer. Uh the other guy, I don’t know. He must be
related to somebody in the or they were just like, “Yeah, yeah, we’ll take him, too.” Well, it’s funny. Uh Duncan David,
he’s a he’s a fifth starter type, too. Except he’s in Triple A. So, this is fine. Here’s what you do. You grab those
fifth starter guys. If you can use him in the next two months, great. If you can’t, he’s probably not going to be
here. He’ll probably be uh, you know, cut on the wayside or whatever. It’s probably just a little additional depth.
He they they say he throws from a low slot. And I guess what that means these days is the guy throws basically sidearm.
So, I mean, and that’s why I saw a little bit of tape on him. He kind of throws sidearm. Um it you know it’s
sinker slider stuff. It’s like throw some ground balls five and fly type crappy starter. I mean like the which
they could use in the real short term. I just wouldn’t trade for that guy who’s an Aball that that is has that profile
too. So Alex in the comments says Savale DFA soon. Yeah. We’ll see. Could be. You never
know. You know that’s that’s something we talked about too is like do they like Savale? Like once they got him in here
and we saw him do a couple boneheaded things, right? And like it’s like, okay, is this a guy that they really want
involved or are they going to are they going to just uh get rid of him at some point? So, we’ll see. We’ll see what we
do there. But uh okay, so those were the two trades.
I think the speaking people that we didn’t trade and one beef, you wrote
about this. Do you think the White Sox missed a golden opportunity to trade Grant Taylor? I mean, I personally think
they do. I think this was a deadline in which reliever values were pretty high. And and I saw someone say they’re not
overvalued. That’s just the value they are. That’s just what people are willing to pay for these relievers. But you saw the halls that uh were coming in and not
even just the Mason Miller one. just there were other relievers that were g the Minnesota closer, you know, Hall the
bunch and there was a uh the reliever from the Giants that uh took down a pretty nice prospect hall. Even though
some of those guys are butting up against 40man and all this [ __ ] regardless when you’re at the bottom like we are, we can take on all the risk
of yeah, the guy’s got to be added to the 40man. Who cares? We got a bunch of [ __ ] on this 40man. Get rid of some of these [ __ ] and put a guy in there
who’s useful. So, my thought there was that like they could probably have gotten themselves a legitimate
differencemaker bat if they wanted to trade Grant Taylor. It’s not without risk. Taylor might end up being a stud
either as your closer or as a [ __ ] starter. I don’t know. The guy might be a monster at some point, but this was a
like a juncture, an opportunity in which you could move along from him and garner something big. I don’t think Gats and
Crew are at the point where they want to take those types of risks. I just I just
think they’re they’ve been um they’ve been buying cheaply low cost type stuff
and gambling a lot in that. This would be a higher risk gamble in my opinion because it could blow up on your face very badly if you miss on it. Even
though I think it could have been fruitful. So although I think they missed the window, I I I didn’t see them
actually coming to fruition and going to the Dodgers and saying, “Yeah, give us this uh one of your top prospects or
going to the Tigers or whoever whoever might be looking for a reliever and say, “Look, give me one of your top three
prospects here, you know, even even though you know Mason Miller got a top 10 prospect at this uh deadline, you
know.” So, uh, I wish it would have happened in a way just because it would have made the deadline really exciting and it would have give the White Socks a
little more offense and I think that’s the side of the ball that we’re more concerned about them building up. But,
it it kind of is what it is. I think Grant Taylor has two things going for
him. He’s coachable and he seems to be wellliked and he does what he they ask him to do. So, getting up here and he’s
doing whatever’s possible to help the team and go forward. I don’t think you can find those guys just anywhere. You could get some guy in that’s a bad
athlete. He’s like, I’m well for me. I don’t want to do what’s the best for the team. I think Grant Taylor is is making
an exception right now, right? Not doing what he wants to do. He wants to start that they’re like, listen, you can’t do this. You should do this. He’s
listening. He’s succeeding. I think you keep a guy like that around. I think he’s it’s it’s a good thing. There’s a
good upside on him. And I don’t know if it would I mean, yeah, you’re right. I’m Do you think there’s Do you think
there’s some of it too like of like if you’re one of the young kind of
supposed to be core guys like that it would upset the kind of the ecosystem to
be like yeah this guy’s coming up with you get him out of here you know we’re going to trade him like let’s let’s
let’s keep turning this over like do you think it cuz I don’t think anyone in that room would be surprised at Austin
Slater getting traded or at Adrien Hower getting traded But how does that group react to one of them getting traded?
Like does it make it feel so far away when they’re trading guys that you’re like coming up with?
Well, that but yeah, I think you’re you you have something there, too? Because it it is like he’s doing what you’re
asking him to do and he’s succeeding doing what you told him to do. Why shouldn’t he be rewarded? Like why would
you get rid of him then, right? like he’s I I think there’s just there’s a lot of unknown and I know we’ve joked
about this in the past and for a totally different reason but like there’s a lot of unknown with Grant Taylor and socks
fans and apparently socks front office likes that unknown and this guy the positive upside I think is just is too
much to just give away but I know you can get something lo but I I don’t I don’t know like that was the thought you get somewhat
equal upside but on the hitting side you know that’s you think any any scaredy weighing from
seeing what cro Rochet became from from what like people kind of thought like oh let’s pigeon hole him into this reliever
role because he can’t stay healthy and this and that and got sees oh this is what this could be if he became a
starter and there’s just kind of like a I don’t know like some some overwhelming
optimism of like what this could be and why would I get rid of that? Yeah, pro
probably there is uh but but we heard Brian Banister talk about him and he laid out the risk profile. And so while
there is a substantial upside, there’s it’s not that there’s no downside too in in the the risk profile of a Grant
Taylor. And so I I I think that yeah, there probably is a level of too like uh
we’re not going to get the Mason Miller return for him because he has not been a shutdown closer for a full season or
anything like that. He’s been alive, terrific looking arm that still has a 4 and a half. And so maybe other teams,
they like him, they like the profile, the potential, whatever, but we like it more kind of thing. Maybe there maybe there was a level of that. I I like I
said, I also just think that they’re worried about uh, you know, the reverse implied odds here and that this could
blow up spectacularly in their face. The guy could become great and they could bring in a hitting prospect that maybe they’re not 100% sure about but should
make it. And then that thing flops and it’s like, wow, you just gave all that stuff away. They’ll play it safer for
now, let the guy uh be in the bullpen, and they’ll figure it out down the road as to what they want to do. But when you
start looking at where could the White Sox get impact bats, 50 FV uh prospect
bats, Drezy, you’ll probably get one at the top of the draft next year. And then
that’s it. Good luck. I hope I hope you can find them somewhere else or I hope you’re going to put the money out there to buy them. You know,
Beef, I will I will put one one more thing on the on the table here though, so that to think about. So, you know,
you you’re mentioning the bats and they they have not been able to develop bats, they have not been able to go out and find them.
The other thing that they haven’t been able to develop or go out and find is a goddamn fireballing reliever. Like that
bullpen has been completely devoid of that. And like and when they do get guys that could throw 98, 99 miles per hour,
they stink. They stink. So I think like if if Bannisters has any say over this,
he’s going to hold on to that guy [ __ ] dear life. Like I No, don’t
trade that guy. I need that’s the first guy that I have like this. And when Baro comes back, hopefully we’ve got two,
right? Like that. So I think that there’s there’s some level of that, too. Like yeah, they can’t develop the bats.
They can’t develop this either. And so like you gotta, you know, like there’s
they’re gonna patch it together however they do and they’ve done a good job of
bringing it together this year in the bullpen, but god you need some of these guys. And those guys, as noted at the
deadline, they’re [ __ ] expensive, too. I think there’s some there’s some of that to it. All right,
another guy that did not get traded, and I want you guys opinion on how you feel about this. I’ll start with you, MSS.
Luis Robert Jr. did not get traded. Are you shocked, thrilled, don’t care, need
more information on who Luis Robert is? That’s rude. I know who he is. He’s an
upand cominging third baseman for us. Okay. No, I I’m not that all that shocked. Uh we were we we have people in
the section that know what they’re talking about. Josh Nelson had a lot of dope as he likes to say and was like
apparently the White Socks were asking for a lot for Luis Robert which I
understand the guy is been he’s been crushing recently and you’re only as
good as as now right and he’s been doing good so maybe you go out there and you try to get something and if you you
don’t hey you you still have him now do I think he’s going to get 20 million
next year I used to think absolutely Not. There’s no way they’re picking up this option. Until I read it 97 times
that they have such a low payroll and a new man money guy back there that maybe they will pick up the 20 million option
on Luis Robert. I it’s again we talked about it last week. It’s not our money, right Charzy? Who gives a [ __ ] Spend
the 20 million. Keep them around. If they see if they see that’s moving the right way, I don’t know. Like I also
read today uh he’s move he’s playing well because he wants to get traded and get the [ __ ] out of here. I don’t know
like so it’s it’s hard. I we’ll see how he finishes the season. I but I also I I
I don’t see low if you were talking about like being embarrassed and being like what is it not being cockshore
being gunshy uh on something like that. This is another one that would blow up in your face if you traded him for
somebody that is nothing. you get absolutely nothing in return and Luis Robert goes to somewhere and becomes a
huge [ __ ] mega star and figures it out like people think Andrew Vaughn is becoming in Milwaukee. So I know I’m not
shocked and I and I’m really not like I like Luis Robert in center field and I
was I was worried about what was going to replace him in center field. So I I’m I’m okay with him being here for the
rest of the year and if it doesn’t work out it doesn’t work out. But yeah, the the embarrassment factor at least is a
lot lower. Yeah, I think one one thing that’s
interesting about this all of this is that like the the market was actually a little bit
tough for them to sell off of Luis Robert because Cedric Cedric Mullins was out there which you did not expect the
Orioles. We talked about this last week. you didn’t expect the Orioles to be out there, but then the other thing was like the Twins were very much in cell mode
and so like a Harrison Vader is out there and so like there’s there’s a lot of other guys that you could go and get
and people did and there’s a lot less question about what those guys are. So
it made sense that they didn’t that they weren’t able to move him. Beef, where were you on this? How do you feel about
him staying around? Well, I I had Alex Rude on the AU two weeks ago and he basically predicted almost exactly the
type of deadline the White Sox would have kind of to a tea that all these relievers almost none of them were going
to move because no there’d be no appetite for him. And with Luis, he leaned towards he didn’t think he would get moved and he thought that there
would be some potential that the White Sox might uh pick up the 20 million next year and just hold on. When you when you
juxtapose that with watching what the returns were for the hitters in this
trade deadline, the Henio Suarez return to me was horrible. I was like, “Wow,
that’s all they got.” And this is the best bet, far and away the best bat at this deadline. And it didn’t cost very
much. I was like, “Teams are just so realizing that that the the hitting is
so difficult these days that paying up for that, they’re scared. they’d rather pay for the run prevention side of it.
They’d rather pay up there because they think they’re a little more sure that that’s gonna actually work. And when I saw Cedric Mullins trees, you mentioned
him in that it’s not that he, you know, I guess in a way he’s kind of blocking Luis cuz he’s out there. But he was also
a good barometer of like, holy [ __ ] that’s all you can get for a guy who plays center field and like decent offensive guy. [ __ ] why why would I
want to trade anything in that vein? I think that’s why a lot of you didn’t see the hitters moving at such a ferocity as
you did kind of the bullpen pieces and then the pitchers as well. And so the market’s just not absorbing them and so
you know uh a combination of the White Socks feeling that there’s more value here and then looking at a really
depressed hitting market. It kind of it made sense as you got here. I found myself being happy that they held them
uh from the perspective of and we we talked about this in last podcast. We talked about the the tweet storm from Ken W about keeping these guys together.
Yes. And just seeing how it look how does it look like for the second half. Just let them play together and see what it looks like. And now, as you’re
saying, MSS, we have nothing behind him to play center field. There’s no center fielder in waiting here. Like, yeah, you could put there a couple days
a week, but he’s already 34 and I don’t want to break him just trying to play center every day. Brooks Baldwin has
looked rough in center field. You could throw him out there. Very rough. he you know so it’s better if you have a real center fielder and
kind of watch the pitching and watch the rest of the lineup go and so pleased uh but not not I if you asked me a month
ago shocked if you ask me the days coming up into it
not that surprised anymore how about you
I’m a little surprised he didn’t move I was I I was waiting for like the last I told you guys this I was waiting for
like the last minute uh he’s traded to the Dodgers for like nothing type of deal.
Um I was I was so I was a bit surprised that he didn’t go. I think though if if
I’m looking at this overall it leads to some interesting
questions going into the the offseason and like I think when we start to answer them we’ll see a little bit we’ll get to
see a little deeper into this org than we probably would have if he had been traded. uh because there’s there’s not a
lot of offseason decisions that are as volatile as what his is going to be,
right? Because you didn’t trade him at the deadline and now you dump him for like $2 million,
right? Or you pick him up for 20 million, right? There’s there’s no real in
between there that makes uh you know, like those two outliers, neither one of them seem to make great sense. And so
you have to wonder if they’re going to go to the table with Scott Boris and say, “Hey, you know,
no one’s going to give this guy $18 million next year. So nowhere is going to produce $20 million
next year for Luis, so let’s figure something out.” Or if you’re going to go to Scott Force and say, “My man, we will
pick this up, but this has to repair the relationship. We gota we got to start
we got to start working on like this those [ __ ] are gone,
right? Like let’s we’re a different group. We’re gonna give this guy 20 million. You remember that guy?
20 million. We’re going to give the pillow contract that you would be lucky to get out on the market. We’re doing
you a favor, you know? So like let’s let’s see what you’re going to do for us. And so
I think there’s like we’ll see how they negotiate this. I’m I’m very interested
in how this team negotiates when it matters. And this is like one of our first moments of getting that like our
first little glimpse of like how does this team negotiate with and this ain’t even a star player at this point,
but a starish player in in their circle right now in their off season. This is
going to be the biggest star they deal with, right? Like, so I’m interested to see how they handle that. And so, while I
don’t know if I’m sad or mad or even care that he didn’t
get moved, I’m looking at what does this opportunity bring for us, right? Like, so I mean, I’d love it if Luis just
forced the issue and hit 10 home runs in the next month and we’re like, “Oh, well, he’s getting to 20 million.” Uh,
but I kind of doubt. I think it’s gonna still be streaky Louise. Every once in a while he gets our gets our hopes up and
then goes on a on a on a cold streak. Um, I I I’m very interested to see how
this how this flows. But speaking of the White Sox offense and how they can go on
streaks, they are on a massive heater right now. Massive. Since the last time we had a podcast,
they had six games. 35 runs in those six games. Hell yeah, baby. Let’s go.
Beefloaf, have they finally turned a corner offensively? I think they have, Trees, and I think
it’s specific to hitting the long ball. I’m going to bring up a graph here of you to show you what they’ve hit since
the All-Star break. Uh Coulson Montgomery has five home runs. Mike Tman and uh Miguel Vargas. Big Al Vargas got
three each. Big Al Vargas. Ben Tendy, Robert Carol Teal, all with two each chipping them in. The White
Socks have 23 home runs in 12 games since the All-Star break. Now, what I
want you to peek over to, there’s a column in this graph that says ISO or
ISO. Okay? And you’ll see that that number uh highest is is 370 for Kula
Montgomery and then you have some people that are dipping down low uh 128 or whatever. So what that is is that’s your
isolated slugging percentage. That’s the difference between your batting average and your slugging meaning that’s how kind of how much
you’re hitting extra base hits which is really important. Uh teams that are uh
you know like a a good power hitter is above 200 generally. Okay. Okay, the league average is 156.
The White Sox the White Sox for the entire season are at 136. They’ve been terrible. They’re 28th in MLB. They’re
just ahead of the Padres’s and Pirates. But since the All-Star break, the White Sox ISO is 222. That’s fourth in Major
League Baseball. They are pounding the baseball, lifting it, pushing out of the ballpark.
Some of it’s conditions, some of it’s the heat here in Chicago. You saw Luis Roberts home run to right field that would look like a normal [ __ ] fly
ball and and soar out of here. The important part is they’re getting to all that and that is a huge key for winning
baseball games at Socks Park. And so, yes, I think they have turned the corner. Yes, I think they’re going to
hit enough fly balls in the Heat where the offense is going to be productive. I don’t know what that bodess for the long
term. I don’t know what that bodess for future seasons or whatever. But this current team in this iteration, I think
they have turned somewhat of a corner. I love it. I love it. Let’s get a drink real quick. Our guy Trey, he just says
late but gonna watch in the morning. Cheers. High as [ __ ] Cheers. Cheers. Cheers Trey.
Threso. When they when the socks came out Friday night and they like destroyed the Cubs, right? And they just put up a
shitload of numbers, a shitload of runs on the Cubs. It was [ __ ] great.
Saturday, they like returned to earth, right? And they just didn’t they didn’t have it. They weren’t hitting. They
weren’t scoring. and you’re like, “Okay, this is this is kind of what I expected. We’re playing like no no slight against
the uh uh the race, but like we’re playing against a team where you’re just like maybe they’re not not as good,
right?” Like, but but the Cubs are are a good team. I hear daily
how great they are. And and like we shelled them Friday, Saturday we’re like, “Oh, fuck.” But then Sunday came
around and I’m like, “Okay, wait a minute. Maybe we’re maybe we’re okay.” Hey, cuz it was a it was a competitive
game, not a high-scoring game, but a competitive game. So, as soon as I’m out on these guys and saying they probably
did not turn a corner, they [ __ ] will go out and win two against the goddamn Phillies who are a good [ __ ] squad
and put up a bunch of home runs against these [ __ ] score runs. They never stop. And they’re churning.
They’re churning to get runs. Like games that we would have said last year, Aloha and I talked about this, we’ve talked
about this. Games that you felt like last year they would have just like packed it up and been like, “Yep, we’re down three, [ __ ] not winning now, so
we might as well just figure out where we’re going for dinner.” And now this year, they’re fighting till the end. And and
they seem to make it happen. And I just So, yes, I’m going to agree with Loaf. They have definitely turned a corner.
They have figured out how to get timely hitting, you know, like that. And that’s that’s I think that’s kind of important
like they’re not just and they are hitting the [ __ ] out of the ball low the home run stuff now it’s coming true. It
came true. It wasn’t true when I said it but now it’s true. It’s true now. Now it’s a lot of home runs.
It was true back then. Don’t worry. It was a lot of home runs. Got a lot more. Beef. We got a question from a Yankees
fan out here. Yankee fan here. What can you tell us about Slater? Thank you for the question. Anthony, I think Beef, if
you want to give a little quick synopsis of Anthony, sorry, not to Anthony about
Austin Slater. Yeah, absolutely. Uh very solid in both corner uh defensive spots. Uh can play
right or left. Uh smash the [ __ ] out of left-handed pitching, so he’s probably going to be in a lineup against lefties.
Uh he’s got power and is willing to to hit a lot of fly balls. So, you’re going to get home run power on the guy. You
should have some fun with him. He should he should crush the [ __ ] out of left-handed pitching. And it seems like the Yankees do need that balance,
especially if Aaron Judge misses uh some time. So that it should be helpful in the short term. But at the end, if you are with a glove,
if you are at at the game watching it, you’re having a couple beers, you see
you see Austin come up against the right-handed pitcher, that is the time to go to the bathroom. So, right.
But against lefties, you definitely definitely stay in the seat. Oh.
These guys are going too fast. I’m clicking all I say you’re clicking every button. That was great. I was like
everything just kept moving up. Going for All right. Yeah. So, uh, in terms of the
offense in terms of the offense, I think that the the interesting thing here has
been a a certain guy which is Koulson Montgomery. So, Koulson Montgomery has
hit five home runs since he’s been here. Uh he’s trending towards the rookie of the
year that I bet on at 80 to1. It’s gonna take a long time to get there. If you look at his 100
home runs in one game, not just, you know, that’s hurting me. That’s hurting me. I need that guy out a little bit.
We might have to kidnap that guy. That’s You got to get him hooked on a gambling chart if we were Emanuel.
You know what of kidnapping somebody definitely announce it on a podcast and a forum that it’s on the internet. Too
many people bet on you on that last home run. We succeeding. That’s the easiest way to go. Would I
really do that? If I was going to do that, would I have really set it to You get away with it. I would not. I I I
couldn’t get away with it. I couldn’t. But but Coulson’s it’s looked real. The power has looked real with Coulson. And
it’s not just him beating up on right-handed pitchers. It’s him hitting home runs off of left-handed pitchers,
too. And so I’m asking you guys, I’m obviously the guy who’s been in his
corner the longest. As soon as everybody was out on him, I was in. And I’ve been
hardlined on Coulson for a while. So I don’t want to be the one to answer this,
but beef, is Coulson McGomery’s power the key to the next White Sox offensive core?
Yes, absolutely. Let me bring the graph back up here because let’s look at the rest of the profile. I I pointed out the
five home runs. The 16 RBI has been talked about everywhere as like a a absolute [ __ ] ton since the All-Star
break, which it is in only 12 games. But when you look further down the profile, Treezy in the 12 games since All-Star
break, that’s a 0.0% walk rate. He hasn’t even taken one free [ __ ] pass.
Why think about 12 games when there’s so many pitches to hit? Why would you Why would you watch them?
20 26% strikeout rate. The batting average isn’t I mean, it’s okay. It’s like a mediocre batting 61. It’s all in
the slug. It’s all in the power. And one one of the things you got to realize and we t I was talking about the ISO in the last segment is like winning in Socks
Park, you can forgive all your other ills if you reach the stands with a few
balls during a game, you know, and you just set up a team that is capable of doing that. And in the second half, the
White Sox have been that team and they’ve been great. They’re eight and four. In the first half, they were
absolutely not that team. They were looking at so many pitches and like I don’t know they had the team meeting about not attacking the fast balls.
That’s a key too that they weren’t attacking him. Look, Coulson hasn’t looked if we’re if we’re looking at the
full body at work. He hasn’t looked great. But what he has done is when he hits the ball, he’s hitting the ball
hard and impacting it and and creating home runs. And that’s hugely the key. I think I think that’s the thing that’s
going to make everything else forgivable. If he continues to get to the power and uses the long levers, it
it will make everything else work. Stay healthy. Play incredible incredible shortstop and
hit a [ __ ] home run every summer. Don’t even need incredible shortstop with the power. No, I mean it, but I don’t think you
need it. I think we need it. Let’s let’s dig into this for a second. Let’s dig into this for a second because I think it’s an important topic and I
don’t I don’t know if I mean need to hear incredible shortstop, but
does he need to be a shortstop? Like if if we’re talking about like how
much power does he need to produce if he’s a third baseman because I think it’s it’s much less if
he’s a shortstop. If he’s a 25 home run guy, 20 home run guy even at shortstop,
that’s great power at that position. If he’s that at third base,
it’s I’m not there with it. Right. Because now we got we got cuz in that case you’d
have 20 home run first baseman big Al Rojas.
Big Al Vargas. I’m still on Josh Rojos.
MSS has already cut Josh Roas. You don’t have to think about he’s gone.
Here’s here’s why. Me Curtis me is our utility guy. But the
but if you’re only between Vargas between Vargas and and uh Coulson at the
corners. Yes. If you’re getting 40 home runs out of those two positions,
are you happy? I mean, I don’t I’m not No more power out of that.
I’m not happy. And that’s why he need I still need him to be a good I need the power and I needed like And I guess I I
guess he Yeah, you’re right. But if he’s not good like a as a as a shortstop, we
can’t move. We need Chase to go to second, right? I like Chase more than I like Sosa upside, right? Sosa can’t do
anything in the field. So we we need need to hit and hit some good power at third, but
also be a good third baseman. So So I I feel like So then Coulson can play in the position that he wants to play in,
which is short stop. Might make him happy, might let him [ __ ] hit more. Uh, Sosa’s [ __ ] everything up right
now with his power and that’s fine. We’ll take that. It’s okay. Hang on a second. I must say the point
here. Sosa is [ __ ] everything up by how well he’s hitting. He is. He’s got to be in the lineup, right? He
has to be in there because and I mean mostly it’s Josh Roa’s fault, but I’m gonna like Sosa is is working himself
into like he is too damn good to put him on the bench or just have him come in every once in a while and the
[ __ ] can’t play anywhere other than second base. Like that’s all he can play. So we need to put him we need him
out of there so and then everybody can play in their like regular position. But well the good news is Ryan notice
healthy. So we got everybody in the regular position too. Oh, that’s I mean, it moved when he said
that. That’s noted. Yeah, great. He’s coming back. Okay. David Crosby says, “So says baseball dumb.” I wish I would have clipped the
tweet. Someone had tweeted that he’s generationally dumb in baseball and swings at every pitch and I think I love
him. I should have grabbed that tweet. Whoever did that.
Yeah. And I You know what? Well, you just put that back up and it says that before June 29th, Coulson only had one
hit one home run above 95 95 miles per hour. Whatever the [ __ ] this guy’s
doing, keep [ __ ] doing it because it this has been a a [ __ ] shock to me as a guy that definitely said, “This guy’s
never going to be an MLB player. I don’t know why we’re doing this. Is he the last guy of the regime?” Something
something clicked. Maybe it was a quick trip to Arizona to fix that [ __ ] You know, it worked. Apparently worked for
Vaughn, too. Well, I want to ask this. Okay, going somewhere else. I’m glad you brought this up because I did have this
in my notes, but I wasn’t sure I was going to bring it up. You were the guy who was saying, you know, the White Sox PR tried to push
this [ __ ] as a he’s the last one they tried to do that with. And you were very cognizant of it and you brought it up several times on podcast and it was a
great point and we realized at some point though like they backed way the
[ __ ] off of that when he wasn’t starting the season here. and kind of do you think that when they did all that, when
they moved off of that [ __ ] and just sort of made it a guys, it allowed his psyche, his ego to go and take the
coaching in Arizona and fix these things that were wrong where he didn’t have to be this perfect guy anymore. It’s just
you’re just one of the guys now. You’re not the goddamn savior. You’re just one of the guys. I wondered I was thinking
about this a lot. Like is that what healed him? Did it heal him? Like saying, “Okay, we’re not going to throw all the PR at you. You’re just another
one of the dudes. Just get yourself fixed. You have sullied your rep now. There is no rep. So come out and just do whatever
you want now and to see if you can survive. And and he’s flourishing. I mean, for what for what it is, he’s
flourishing. I I mean I I I like second half Coulson. And this is amazing [ __ ] This is this is good
stuff. I don’t know if it’s going to last forever, but you know what? I’m willing to give it a [ __ ] chance and I will throw money at it. Uh I I dislike
what he’s doing and and I don’t know. I I I was totally wrong. But yes, I I I I don’t know. I I
just don’t know what happened. What’s that bar rescue guy? John Taffer.
Bad [ __ ] Like I feel like you want him to come in and and just break down all of these
players just like to take them down to the studs and then and then build them back up. Be like,
[ __ ] You’re not [ __ ] kid. You you can’t hit. You’re striking out all the time.
There is a level of you think of yourself as something and so then you become uncoachable at it or you become
unable to break down and say look I’m not doing this right I got to figure this out or whatever you know in the
comments says I told you all the dude just hated the city of Charlotte that could be true also maybe I have no idea
like now who’s going to be the one that steps up and takes credit for this is Ryan Fuller going to be like that was all me I mean he’s going to get the praise
he’s going to get the praise yeah I mean he should right like what do you see when he does
He could have could have fixed Eloy, but he he definitely fit Coulson. So like I mean he’s he’s he’s fixed uh Big Al
Vargas. I mean Vargas is a project of his, right? And then I would assume Coulson fits
under that as well. So there’s been some fixing here. Nice.
All right, that’s our that’s our White Sox talk for tonight. It’s a lot of White Socks talk.
That was a lot of good stuff. I mean, it’s huge huge trade deadline. Our our
guy Gino got traded away from that beautiful hitters ballpark in Arizona and now he’s got to go play in Seattle
and that is very good for our IBI bet for Petonto. Yes, it is.
Question. Also, we are trending right towards that 50. We’re looking good. Yes.
I got a question for you. Sure. How how well do the Socks have to play for us to start doing the socks
part of the podcast in the beginning of the podcast and switch the fun stuff to the end of the podcast?
They got to lose less than 100 games this year. Really? Then we’ll flip it, right? Okay. Lose less than 100. Okay.
Yeah. 99. We’re We’re on the quest for 99 like what? 23 wins to go. They got to
win 23 games and then then they can move back to the front of the show. Until then,
stay in the back. It’s [ __ ] doable. Still then we’re playing did they [ __ ] before we talk about the
I was just thinking about that. It was definitely in my head like when do we when do we switch over because they’re
they’re definitely fun bad uh right now. So I mean I was checking all show we didn’t lose any audience all the way to the
back of the I guess it’s okay. Everyone everyone hung around. So yeah. No sure. I’m not worried about
bad. I’m just you know respect. We’ll lose some now because it’s time for thank yous and gfys.
Be love, who are you thinking or gfy? I am going to thank Danny Parkkins uh for
uh doing the C cubs for a cure radioathon and pushing us to strive to donate more money. We uh we donated
$2,300 today with the help of all you guys in the uh 108 family and the White Sox Twitter community. But I also want
to give a special thanks to MySock Summer because he’s the one who really rounded up the troops to get the community to pitch in, buy some merch,
swell the pot up so that we can get to that number there. We originally were only going to commit to about a,000 bucks, but with all this stuff
happening. Yeah, it was almost,00. But, uh, you know, Danny came and told us there was a guy who would who would, you know,
double up our thing, would put 4,500 in after we put 2,300 in, you know, if we do Rhino and he he’ll do Bobby Jensen.
and then MSS just thought, let’s see if everyone else wants to pitch in with us. So, you guys did a great job out there
buying merch. It covered more than half the 2,300. So, that that was really good. Very helpful to us. And so, I just
want to thank you guys and thank MSS for uh for all the work uh put into this. Well, cheers. Thank you. Thank you for
the MSS. Who you thinking? Uh, I want to thank everyone that participated uh
bought a lot of stuff from us and like like people that like like I don’t want to out him, but there’s a
certain guy on the West Coast that bought four [ __ ] OG fan chains. I mean, that’s insanity. That’s some
insanity [ __ ] That makes me think I had a good idea. I’m going to probably order more of them. So, and then there’s are
going to sit in my basement for forever, but I’m going to do it. I think I’m going to do it. I’m gonna I’m gonna mix it up a little bit. We’ll see. Maybe
we’ll get some hot pink. We’ll get some hot pink links or something. and we’ll get some funky stuff. Uh but yeah, so
thank everyone that did that. Everyone that purchased. I mean, even the guys that purchased little stuff like you bought, you spent $17.99 in our shop,
dude. I appreciate that. All right, cuz uh you’re getting stuff out of my basement and you’re you’re supporting a good cause. So, we all appreciate that

Oh, I’m sorry. I I got I got a few an early GFY to all the people that message

It’s not shipping right away. It’s a pre-order. All the other stuff ships ships right
away. We He gets it out the door. Yeah. But uh but yeah, a couple I got a couple thank yous. I got First, like everybody
has been saying, thank you to everybody who donated to this. This was this was awesome. I couldn’t believe
how quickly we we started ratcheting up towards the 2300. I was I was super psyched about that. And again, beef to
Echo years. Thank you to MSS for doing all the leg work. I mean, like you like Yeah, he’s out there doing the
videos and tweeting and [ __ ] He’s shipping all of this to you. Almost all the real work is what you what you
mean. Yeah. And and there ain’t even a good post. We were just talking about this. There’s not a post office by us anymore. No, you
gotta gotta travel to the ends of the earth to get to the post office. I gotta I gotta put it in a box at the
UPS store and hope it doesn’t get stolen. Uh, and we’ve been good so far. Double double thumbs. Good job.
You’re going to get instantly robbed. I I do have a GFY.
I do have a GFY though. Another one. And this is to a lot of people.
Okay. I’ve seen, you know, like as as we start seeing some of these gambling things
come up where it’s like, oh, this guy got busted, you know, everybody just points and goes, well, all the
advertising all around. It was inevitable that this would happen.
And I hate to break this to you again. I feel like I’m always breaking news to people about how the world actually is.
Athletes have been gambling all along. The fact that it wasn’t legal made it
almost impossible to detect the [ __ ] that Emanuel Class is being accused of.
They would have never figured that out. But since it’s all legal and all the all
the sports have access to the data, they can find anomalies. They go, “Hey, this happened.
This is weird. We should investigate this.” And I’m not even saying class A is guilty. Right.
I’m just saying that you can’t blame the legalization of it, the advertising for it as as the reason that it’s happening.
It would have [ __ ] happened anyways. Do you think like do you think in the movie Blue Chips
they would have had the scene with Tony shaving points if people hadn’t been shaving points forever? There’s 80
documentaries about people that were cheating and gambling on all this [ __ ] during the 80s, the ‘9s,
the 70s, the [ __ ] as the, you know, when the Black Socks did it,
right? This [ __ ] has been going on forever. You could make it illegal. You could say, “Hey, you can’t advertise that anymore.”
And I’m going to tell you, it’s still going to [ __ ] happen. Correct.
It’s happening when all the data is there. So, stop. I get it. If you don’t
like gambling, if you don’t want to see gambling ads, that’s that’s totally fine if you think it’s ridiculous how much
they advertise it. But, you know, it’s the same with booze, right? Like, they’re advertising booze
on all these things. I didn’t see anyone I didn’t see anyone go, “Ah, Josh
Hamilton was inevitable.” You know, with with all these ad with all these Budweiser advertisements, how can he
resist? It is ridiculous to equate the like to to to correlate these two things
together and go like, well, now that they advertise for gambling, obviously these guys are going to gamble on their
own games and risk their careers. Ridiculous. Come on. We’re better than that. We’re better than that. You
players, you’re [ __ ] better than that, too. What are you doing? You’re making millions of dollars and you’re out there trying trying to get it. I
know what the limits are on these [ __ ] You can’t make no money off of this [ __ ] And with good night everybody.
Talk to you soon. Chicago.
They say playing for the White Socks. He had a certain fair. He hit 69 home runs.
Man, that ain’t fair. He swung that bat like a wild tornado
storm. Every time he stepped up, he smashed it. It was the norm.
The ladies in the stands, they couldn’t help but stare. The legend of Alejandro
ches spreading everywhere.
Alejandro got the magic touch on the field. He was
a king. Oh,
he was too much swinging that back. He left the crowd in all the legend of
Alejandro.
