You got about a half dozen regular season games a year, and this was one of them where

it's like, oh, that feels like a conference final or an NBA final.

The fans were into it, the players were into it, it was very intense, and let's be totally

honest.

There's three teams that can win the championship, and the Celtics and the OKC Thunder, you watched

two of them last night, the others disperse.

The Lakers don't have the athletes or the defense, the pistons don't have the offense, Denver

on most nights way too yoke it's reliant, Houston doesn't have a true point guard, forget

about that, they're struggling.

And the next are interesting, but they're not as good as Boston, and frankly, Brunson

and Kat are their two best players, and they're major defensive liabilities.

You can hunt both in big playoff games.

The Celtics had six guys and double figures.

Now that Peyton Pritchard would tape them back, it's going to go to the bench, he's a killer

off the bench.

So they've got the bench, they don't turn the ball over, I mean, Joe Mizzoulos ended up

being an unbelievable coach, we didn't, I mean, the first year, I don't know if that guy's

a head coach, he's really good, players totally respond to him, Tatum whose shop was kind

of clunky, first several games back, they're now seven and two with Tatum.

So their bigs are young, they've moved off some old guys like Horford and Porzingis,

their bigs are young, they're athletic, they're healthier, they've got a real guy on the

bench, there's, there's, this is a real team.

Does that mean if they don't make it, they came up short, they're worthy of a little bit

of criticism, I mean, or it's just all upside and there's nothing like, well, you know the

answer to that one.

So I just need some sort of ground rules, you need some reality, I need some reality,

so like they are the best they should win, and if they don't, then they came up short

in some way, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'll tell you this, they played like they played the other night in the second half, they

should absolutely be in the finals.

Absolutely.

And if that's what they're capable of, the answer is yes, there's one thing I would give

concern about, well, go ahead, no, you go, I'm sorry, I was just saying there's one

thing I would have about, I can be concerned about when they face the team like Oklahoma City

again, and that is that your role players played well in this game at home.

So if they have home court and you got to win a game in Oklahoma City, I want to see

Bailey Shireman do it before he craps his pants, because I think there's going to be a

band scrapping.

I think between him and Hugo and, you know, who might leave it out, Jordan Walsh if he

gets in there and you even quite a, all could crap their pants at the same time, mass

crapping in Oklahoma City.

So now that said, in the East, though they, they should, if they play like that, they

should breeze in the East.

I know the expectations were minimal at best and stupidly so before the season started,

but you don't get to play that game anymore.

I mean, we know what this team is at this point.

No, the expectation is that you should get out of the East and go to the finals.

If you don't get out of the East, is it a fail?

Yes.

Yeah.

I mean, assuming that, that, that is, now what, put it this way, that is their potential.

So my answer would be yes.

I mean, I, I just, you should feel good about the team, but now, yeah, you can't just

do it without stakes at this point.

You should get out of the East.

Look, and if you wanted to really even take it a half step further, they still don't

have a few of it.

It's true.

So there's another element that in theory should make them a little bit better.

It gives them another shooter on the floor.

Like, so you add all that out, they're going to get him back before the playoffs.

So, you know, if Jason Tatum gets his head screwed on and doesn't hog the ball, and

they can play like that, they should vie for the championship.

Okay.

It is an agenda free Friday, brought you by friends that catch his law.

It's a four o'clock hour here on a Friday, Chris Gaspar is not going to be with us today.

But if he were, he would be brought to you by premier basement waterproofing.

Apparently, he can't do two days a week.

Here's your warming.

I'm sorry.

You're warning, not you're warming.

You're warning from Felagromes, April showers are coming.

And remember, it rained 13 straight weekends last spring.

Is that true?

Probably 13 straight weekends last spring.

So you're crazy.

If you're not taking advantage of 0% financing right now, especially with all this ground

water headed for your foundation, do it before moving into a new home or renovating

as well to schedule with grace call 844 live dry or visit premier basement.net.

At that point, it's what then game over for what?

So this just on this Tiger Woods crash again, as Murray just was reading there from the

New York Post.

The SUV he was driving was in an area that has a quote unquote high frequency of accidents

according to authorities who added the crash was quote, purely an accident, end quote,

with quote, evidence of no, with no evidence of impairment.

Yeah.

Immediately.

Like, not everything's fine, but like I tested you the photo mess.

So I see the photo and I, I, I don't know the neighborhood.

Exactly.

It's a neighborhood.

It's a residential area.

It's a little beach neighborhood on Jupiter Island with, it's not like a big rotary.

Well, no, it's out of, it just looks like little squared off residential streets.

The thing that he, when he rolled his car in California, it was on a winding road in California

with some of those.

Yeah.

Well, after he flipped it over the road, but even that, it's like, he's not traversing

the Mount Kilimanjaro.

It's just a windy road in California.

There's a million of them.

And he was so out of it or whatever he couldn't stay on the road.

Now he's on just a little residential street in Jupiter Island and he flips the SUV.

And immediately the authorities are, well, there's a high frequency of accidents here

and there was, there was no reason to believe we were, he wasn't paired or anything like that,

the guy who passed out in his car seven years ago in Jupiter on five different, uh, pain

killers, forms of pain killers and prescription medication.

So now he's had three of these, nothing to see here.

Oh, I got again, this guy, and he was solo in the car too.

There's been no report of another passenger, anything like that.

This guy is, because maybe he was getting his peace polished.

I'm sorry, Murray, say that again, if there was a passenger in the car, you know, you

could lose control of the car if you get, you're getting your peace polished, that's

all.

Thank you.

I mean, I would just stop the car.

It happened.

I'm just what I, you know, Murray, I'd be lying if I told you the same thought didn't cross

my mind.

It did.

It crossed my mind.

I mean, this guy gets such a pass on this stuff.

It's unbelievable.

I mean, that does not look like, and do you see any sort of like curb or anything?

No, we're not talking about Bell Circle, the rotary and revier where you're like, take

your life in your hands.

It's just like, it's a side street in a neighborhood.

It's a side street on a little beach road.

If you lived here, you'd be home now.

But no one wants to go there with Tiger Woods.

My goodness.

And give it his record, too, that they're that quick to say, oh, no, no sign of impairment.

Could we maybe ask for a blood test?

How about that?

Is that that too much of a stretch?

No, it's a trusive back to your phones on everything down here.

Here's a North Carolina on the Red Sox.

Hi, Don.

Hey, Mike.

How are you?

Good.

Thanks for taking my call.

Pleasure.

I got a couple of questions and a couple of observations.

Got to be quick.

Yeah, well, I got to be quick.

OK, is Tanner Hauke and Lucas G. Alito still on the Red Sox roster?

Yes, and no.

Well, where is Hauke?

Oh, yeah, he's the last I heard he was in Florida.

Yes, and G. Alito's gone.

OK, and did the Red Sox try to retain Rob Refsnider?

You know, probably not really, but do you have a point on?

Yeah, question.

I liked the ABS so far, but I was just wondering if a player changes his stance halfway

through the season.

He doesn't matter.

It's just based on his height, some morning in March or February in Scottsdale.

So if he, if he wears higher spikes or flatter shoes or decides to crouch or changes

batting stance, stand up higher, crouch a little lower.

It doesn't matter.

What did you measure that late February morning in Mesa, Arizona?

And that's that.

Yeah, I don't know if he changes his stance, they got to bring the tailor in from MLB to

remeasure him.

The thing about the right to mention, I'll just, I'll try and Refsnider.

If they had sat Marcello Meyer for Refsnider, I know they played the positions don't line

up.

No, no, but say Roman Gonzalez.

That's a good one.

Roman Gonzalez is in there who tortures lefties over 900 OPS.

Okay.

Like I still don't, Meyer should be playing every day.

That's just what I think.

But okay, early on, we're going to platoon and put a lefty skiller in there for Meyer.

Oh, it's one thing.

Isaiah Kiner-Fileffa doesn't hit anybody, agreed.

So like that should be, I think it frustrates Meyer if you read between the lines, some of

the things that he said and has said it, I think it does bother him.

It should bother him.

It should bother everybody.

That could should be in the line up every day.

Yeah.

So again, part of the reason I'm not all that work, the part that bugs me about is Kiner-Fileffa.

If Monasterio was in there, I have to get it.

He hits left-handed pitching, that makes sense to me.

To do it for Kiner-Fileffa does not make sense to me.

And I would tell you the reason I tolerated with Monasterio in part is also because I think

it will help Meyer get better.

I don't want the lefty thing to get in his head and effort his whole game up.

And with young guys, I think that can happen.

And then beyond that, you know, it doesn't mean they're going to be this way all year.

So in the middle of the year, if he's ready for it, then they can do it.

Middle of the year.

I was just about to say, or before that.

By the end of the month, he's going to be playing every day because he's going to be too

obvious to keep out.

And he's going to have to learn how to hit lefties on the fly because his talent's going

to be apparent.

It should be apparent right now.

The way he plays should be obvious to everyone, I think.

But then again, I'm just Mr. Baseball.

Robbie in the car.

Go ahead, Robbie.

Hey.

So after they pinched hit Meyer and he hit that double, you had Nervaya sacrifice him

over to third.

I was just wondering, do you guys think that we're going to see a lot more small ball without

having that power bad up, devers of regimen in the lineup?

I know they've, you know,

let me stop you.

Robbie, it's a good question.

Thank you for it.

Maaz, your thoughts.

Yes.

Jimmy, do you have that cut from court?

So I do.

Apparently.

Core was asked about this today.

Oh, yeah.

Yesterday.

Oh, okay.

Whatever this was.

I find this unusual.

I know it was unusual.

That's why I want Jimmy to play it.

Go.

Did Nervaya's fun on his own?

Was that something you put in?

We don't want to know this guy.

So I'll strategy.

They don't.

I mean, you know, like what's the big secret?

We saw it happen in the game.

So that tells me I'm sort of a stew on this.

He and I were talking about it off the air.

I started a wonderful Nervaya's

did it on his own and they didn't like it.

Huh.

And if I were them, I would do more of it.

Of course.

Because this is who you are.

If you're going to buy into the whole pitching and defense

and run prevention in nonsense.

And you know, look, they don't have the bat in the

middle of the lineup that they need.

But if you're going to do that, you might as well

produce run.

It's not just that.

It's situational.

It's the ninth inning of a one run game.

Well, it was in the seventh when they won.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Seventh, you're right.

I'm sorry.

Either way, late innings of a tie.

I don't know.

Like you're playing for a run there.

Yep.

Lead off double.

Nobody out.

So.

Uh, we don't want to discuss strategy.

Why?

If you discuss strategy that would tip off the opponent,

they'd give some sort of competitive advantage to the opponent.

If you admitted you put down a bunch of it.

It's bull crap.

It doesn't make any sense.

It's bull crap.

There's another reason he isn't want to get into it.

I have no idea what it is.

Other than Nervaya's did it on his own

and they didn't like it or whatever.

Because on that play, how are you going to stop it?

What are you going to bring the third basement in all the way?

I mean, what do you?

It's a tag play at third.

If the guy squares to bunny squares to bunny.

It's not like a surprise.

Correct.

I mean.

I don't get it either.

I thought that I thought the answer was, you know,

like, what the hell are you talking about?

What's the big secret?

We all saw it.

So like what?

There was a curtain up on me.

Couldn't see all of a sudden he's on third base.

There you go.

I liked it.

So did I.

And I would say, and here's the other thing.

Last year, if you remember, they couldn't get a guy home

from third with less than two outs if you freaking held a gun to their heads.

And then yesterday, Raphael put the bat on the ball,

granted the reds brought the infield in.

But he got the bat on the ball with two strikes,

hit a ball up the middle and the guy scored.

Okay, it was a hit.

But it could have just as easily been a five ball to center field.

And the contact is what matters.

So if you, if the game is, if the idea is we're going to score more

by putting the bat on the ball and making contact,

then you bet your ass.

You bet a bunch more of your calls here.

We don't want to know this guy's strategy.

Sorry, Alex.

I guess we'll drop it.

Hey, and so, and shaking things up a bit.

No formal intro?

Let's see what Carla from Auburn has to say.

The biggest thing that I received out of this Awakened 180 program

was that I was able to get a best friend.

And when I say that, I mean the person that I look to in the mirror every morning.

I would walk by the mirror and not look.

Now, the Awakened 180 program has given me the ability to look in the mirror, smile,

and actually enjoy and appreciate the person I am.

I went from, you know, 301 down to 213.

I've lost 84 pounds with Awakened 180.

84 pounds, and Carla did it just under four months.

And those results, buddy, are the results you'll get with Awakened 180.

Do what Carla did, what I did, Greg Bedard, Dr. Laura Carmen,

and everybody else has done it.

Get back to liking the person you see in the mirror and choose Awakened 180.

Joe Haggity here between the car, the ranks, two kids in hockey,

and covering hockey myself, my schedule is absolute chaos.

But a few weeks into Awakened 180, I'm down 20 pounds.

Now, more of...

If the Eagles want to wait until after June first for cap reasons,

could New England pick the New Eagles' preferred target?

Hold on to him for a month and then execute the trade for AJ Brown in June

to satisfy both the draft capital and salary cap requirements.

Steve, that sounds good on paper.

I understand the idea of it, this happens in the NBA a lot.

I just think it's highly unlikely that this would happen in the NFL.

And let's just start with the player that they take.

Like, let's say the 31st overall pick is part of that trade.

You're asking that player now to miss the rookie onboarding process

that happens in the couple of weeks before after the draft.

You're asking him to not participate in rookie minicamp

and then miss the first two or three weeks of OTAs

as he's waiting to be officially dealt.

And that's going to affect his ability to compete at the end of OTAs,

which ostensibly is going to affect the reps that he gets in training camp,

which is what gives him an opportunity to actually play in the fall.

Number two, we don't know what's going to happen on draft day.

And so the idea of trading the 31st pick now

or agreeing to trade the 31st pick now,

what if the Eagles don't like what's there at 31?

Now today pull the plug.

What happens if the Patriots suddenly like the receiver

that's there at 31, right?

Or somebody that they didn't think was going to fall to fall

as one of the 31st.

So now they're less apt to move the 31st overall pick.

Like that becomes an issue.

But it's still up in the air.

And that's a birth prior addressing a thing that I think a lot of fans want

the Patriots and the Eagles to do.

Or that they think that might be in place like a handshake agreement

or just a flat out pick for future considerations that are already determined.

As he said, it happens all the time in basketball.

You draft Eagles want to wait until after.

Okay.

And some more birds still talking.

You drafted Jeff Green with the express purpose

of sending him to Seattle for Realms.

That's correct.

Yep.

Do I have that right?

That's right.

Something like that.

But that happens in the NBA all the time.

That's right.

Like you draft a guy, but it's not for you.

It's for the team that you're trading with.

So why can't we do that with AJ Brown?

Well, Birch has said it.

This is why you should never cross sports.

It's a whole different deal in football.

I mean, it is.

They want you in the spring camps and in the building and in the playbook.

And it starts then.

And you're playing time.

If you're a young player, especially a rookie or a French roster player,

starts in April.

Doesn't start September 1.

It starts in April.

And all of this stuff.

And it just doesn't happen in football.

You're not going to do that.

You're not going to.

The pages are going to draft who the Eagles want at 31.

But then don't bring him in the building because he's not your player.

So you don't do the press conference.

You don't do the walkout thing that the crafts do.

You know, right?

You don't do that.

You don't bring him into meet the coaches.

He doesn't come into the rookie camp.

He doesn't come into the spring camps.

He's just sitting there with his Johnson in his hand somewhere.

And people ask you, well, how come Harold Fenefessi,

your first wrong pick isn't in here?

Well, you know, he had a schedule in conflict.

And so you have to lie now for what?

You've looked at a half or whatever.

Two months.

And then June 1.

Oh, suddenly you trained to fill the whole thing.

It doesn't work that way.

It just it just doesn't.

It doesn't happen in football.

It's not going to happen in football.

For a lot of reasons.

So this is something to change.

And we'll see what happens.

If I were the Patriots, I'd stand pat.

Yeah, me too.

I just sit tight.

Like, and look, I'm at this stage.

I want the player.

I almost feel like if they don't get him, I'll be disappointed.

But, you know, Philly, you know, Philly clearly right now is not incentivized

and necessarily do it.

So they're going to leave their demands where they are.

Fine.

Just keep waiting.

If they get stuck, hold on to that.

They do not want him back.

I think the strongest piece of leverage anybody has right now is that Philly doesn't want

to bring him back.

And he doesn't want to go there.

And they're going to have to make a decision sooner rather than later.

That's right.

The only thing I firmly believe is that he is not going back to Philly.

Exactly.

So that's not happening.

All the other stuff.

I don't look.

You know, the cap hit and the post June 1.

And they take on a big post cap hit.

They do it now versus June 1.

Bob Poppycock.

They can figure it out.

The difference between what the cap hit would be if they do it now versus June 1 is not

that great.

They have it.

They can figure out the cap room.

In a second.

That's not the issue.

Roseman.

How he roseman there is just hold out for the best return.

And so he's using that cap thing as some sort of leverage point.

But the Pats and everyone else are right to say, eff you the cap.

You know that cap money doesn't mean anything.

Right.

I think of it in these terms.

If the Patriots said to Philly, we can actually get the number 15 pick right now and trade

it to fray j brown.

You think Philly is going to say no?

No.

Well, you know, we have a cap of charge.

Right.

Stop it.

Please.

Of course you're going to take 15.

Please.

Is right.

Back your calls on everything, including the Bruins are on a gender free Friday.

Nick and Paul River.

Hi.

Hey guys.

Thanks for taking the call.

It's a benefit.

I was originally going to call on the tier.

But then I heard the public service announcement that no more at that.

So I'm pivoting.

I'm calling an audible here.

Felga.

I don't know if anybody's brought it up.

I don't know how many he's at.

But I know geeky's above 30 and you were supposed to eat a shoe.

Yeah.

Eat a shirt.

Hat.

Eat a something.

That's what it was.

It was a hat.

Has this happened yet?

No.

It's going to happen.

That's all.

It'll happen.

Because I'm a man of my word.

We're trying to figure out the most edible kind of hat.

It's still out there.

It'll happen.

And I'm not going to eat a cake hat or a cookie hat.

I'll eat a cake hat.

And I put this aside because he scored that goal and hasn't done crap since.

That's why I thought she was going to be calling about.

He has completely disappeared.

And that's a big, it's part of the reason why the power play blows.

He's on Lindholme Island.

My God.

Completely disappeared.

And I think it's, he's not sticking his nose in there.

He's never in the middle of it.

free. And you know, he's got a great shop, but you're not going to score from along the

boards where he's just sort of floating. And I think it starts there with geeky. He's

not he's not sticking his nose in there anymore. When's the last time he scored? I think

it's like it games you know what it is Kevin. It's like it's been a long time. I'm going

to do it for you. Was it the game that he got 34 to make you eat the hat? It might have

been. He's he saw it. He maybe it's 11 games. He made me eat the hat. Now he's resting

on his laurels, but just watch him. He he's never in the middle of the action. He's just

kind of floating. Uh, how about Jimmy in Worcester? Go ahead, Jimmy. Yeah. Back to baseball

guys. Good afternoon. Go. I want to go back to Mezzler's point on on the ABS. And it as

far as it's accuracy, I compare that to after your reports, Mike, about the standing, standing

bowl. And when you get pulled over by an officer and they come up with the radar gun

and say, Oh, you're doing 98. No, no, no, I wasn't doing that. It's not accurate. You

can go you can go to court and and and fight dad and say what was that calibration? Was

the calibration correct? Right. So the technology that we're using with ABS, I don't know how

to find the technologies and information about it. But I'll tell you, we don't know

enough about it. But I agree with Michael and say, I don't like it. Okay. Guess what, Jimmy's

got a lead foot. I'm just going to say something tells me Jimmy's been pulled over a couple

of years and your calibration. You were doing 82 and 55. What speed and what are you talking

about? You need to check your radar gun this, sir.

And this is this is everywhere. The ABS is not based off your batting stance. Nope. Every

player's height was measured during spring training, specifically for ABS. How detailed

is the process? The league was particular about taking measurements in the morning as studies

have shown people lose height throughout the day. The new measurements are based on a

player's height, not anything to do with their stance. In practice, those with upright

stances think Cody Belinger could have some pitches overturned in their favor, whereas

the opposite is true for those with a pronounced crouch. So it's based on the measurement

in the morning in Mesa, Arizona in late February. That's it. And if they're standing straight

up, that should favor the picture, right? So I found the bigger zone. Yeah. So if I'm

the hitter, I'm completely fake. Oh my God. You're like to stand straight. Okay. Yeah.

No, no, no, straighten up. I'm trying like you're taking a dump in the woods.

Stan's like he remember Pete Rosa stance. Your knees are bad. I know that. That is

that's good. Like you get a sit there like a quad exercise. I'm stretched out. That's

a good one. You know the players were dicking around. Definitely. Definitely. They put those

guys probably shame skin off the bottom of their feet. Here's an update with that. Guess

who rolled his car again? But nothing to see here. Once again, for no good reason, just

rolled his car. But no, nothing to see here. Guess, guess who did that? Here's big

jammery. And then we're back with more.

Hey, it's so, it's shaking things up a bit. No formal intro. Let's see what Carla

from Auburn has to say. The biggest thing that I received out of this Awaken 180 program

was that I was able to get a best friend. And when I say that, I mean the person that I look

to in the mirror every morning, I would walk by the mirror and not look. Now the Awaken 180

program has given me the ability to look in the mirror, smile, and actually enjoy and appreciate

the person I am. I went from, you know, 301 down to 213. I've lost 84 pounds with Awaken 180.

84 pounds, and Carla did it just under four months, and those results, buddy. Are the results you'll

get with Awaken 180? Do what Carla did, what I did, Greg Bedard, Dr. Laura Carmen, and everybody

else has done it. Get back to liking the person you see in the mirror and choose Awaken 180.

two kids in hockey, and covering hockey myself, my schedule is absolute chaos. But a few weeks

into Awaken 180, I'm down 20 pounds. Awaken 180 weight loss.com.

Check out the ABS system. Go ahead, Brian.

Hey guys, how are you doing? Good. Hey, Matt is all Michael. I've got the ABS. Is there any rules

in place? Like, for example, when a toolbox like, um, Tristan Cosis comes back and he's challenging

the call when he's down, the team's down 12, nothing or up 12, nothing, something like that.

It'd be nice if there were a right, Brian. Like, let's not waste our time. Just let's stick to

the calls that matter. But there is none. No, there's none. Well, you know, someone will do that. He,

him, yeah, he's the perfect candidate. Actually, he doesn't, he mentioned it. But there will be,

there'll be some clown who tries to do that in a game and they should say no, they should say no,

not a lot. No. I just don't think it's worth it. I mean, again, so yesterday, the challenges were

successful on balance. Uh, the challenges went 19 of 31. So teams had a 61.3% success rate. But

when they measured it over spring training, all of spring training, only 53% of the 1800

challenges were successful. I mean, a quick Google would tell us what it is in the minor leagues.

But I, I believe it's, it's closer to 50, 50 than you would. I bet you're right. So yeah,

we're going to go through all this for what's essentially a 50, 50 call. If you didn't have it,

you'd get it 50% of the time anyway. And you can say it's only 10 seconds at a time.

Go ahead, mess. 50% is exactly 50. I just did a quick search here. It said, uh,

particularly a AAA has shown a success rate of approximately 50% with data from 2025,

showing a 49.5% overturn rate. Okay. So it's actually a little less than 50% of the time you're

winning your challenge, which means we're back to square one. Sometimes you get it. Sometimes you

don't, which is exactly what's going on without the FN thing. Correct. Never mind. You say it's

only 10, 15 seconds. Yeah. It happened six times in a game. I gave it to you earlier. The time

of game over the first 12 games was 246. That's up. Last year's average 9 inning game was 238.

The year before 236. The year before 239. Yesterday, all of a sudden, 246.

Always start the slippery slope back to that slow drip back to grinding these games to a halt.

That's what I'm worried about. You know, the other thing too is the more that I think about it.

And look, I think it's efficient. Like the one with the Anthony was efficient. But do they reset

the pitch clock? They must. I guess. Oh, yeah. I guess what I'm saying is it does sort of make

you start all over again. It's got to be more than 15 seconds. Well, according to frequent

e-mailer Neil Collins, he says a common sense alert. Length of games. ABS did not impact the

Lanker games. But the numbers, a number of runs scored definitely did. More runs scored equal

longer games. Duh. Yesterday, there were 11 games in baseball. Six were two, two hours and 41

minutes or shorter. Five games were two hours and 57 minutes or longer. In the six shorter games,

the team scored 10 runs or fewer in each game per an average of eight runs per. In the five

longer games, the team scored at least 14 runs in four of the five games. An average of 13.4 runs

per game in the five games. On average, more runs scored leads to longer games. One benefit of

the ABS is greater accuracy could learn a few. Oh, so Neil. So wait a minute. So the again,

it takes 10 to 15 seconds for each of these challenges. There were an average of four and a half

a game or something. There were 31 challenges in the. So in the 12 games, including the one that I

before, 12 games, 31 challenges, which is just under three again. Yeah, 2.7 or something. So

just doing quick math. That is 45 seconds. I know that's only, you know, 45 seconds. But it doesn't

make the game shorter, Neil. And let's see how it plays out over the course of the year. Short

sample. So what you do after one, all I know is the games took longer yesterday. Fact. And ABS

doesn't make them shorter fact. So this is the one thing that also now that you mentioned it,

like the danger of the ball being and play more. If you get more hits and more runs, it's going

to lengthen games. So listen, and I am for that. Yeah. But I don't know. You tell me how in

1980, although you could get faster routes. Oh, here's all I know. In 1982, the game was playing

at the same pace and there wasn't half the amount of strikeouts. Excellent point. So I don't know,

how did they get through those games in 230 without constant strikeouts? Because the

pictures didn't have their thumbs up their ass. Because some guys were okay throwing groundballs,

you know, or you know what I mean. But either way, let's just see how the thing plays out. It

worked yesterday. I still don't need it. And we're going through all this for 50, 50. Okay,

makes you feel better. It does. I like the accountability for these bum umpires.

No, they need to see it in the video screen to believe it. Well, this is, hold on. Frank.

Hello. Hi, Frank. What was going on there? What was going on, Frank? I don't know. I don't know.

Jim Beans for lunch or you play in the tuba. Yeah. Right. Yeah. I'm calling about. I fully

agree that mom that Maya should be playing every single day. I also recall that he was drafted

on before overall as apparently the premier shortstop of that year's class. Yes. Play him every day

at shortstop and move story to third. Other guys have done it later in their careers.

And you know, why not do that? Play him every single day at shortstop. He's probably the best

shortstop you've got. I would. So I would do that. Definitely. I think he's better than

the story defensively right now. Can I have the beginning of that call again quickly, Jim?

No, they need to see it in the video screen to believe it. Well, this is, hold on. Frank.

So I was farting. It sounded like he was enjoying a delicious treat. I did pop him up before

Maz finished his statement. I do that off. No, they need to see it in the video screen to believe it.

Well, this is, hold on. I think he was playing the tuba. Maybe. Yeah. It sounds like the tuba.

See, I think that's more. I don't know. No way, Murray. No way. You think that was gas? Oh,

yes. Definitely. God do it again. No, they need to see it in the video screen to believe it. Well,

this is not licking your fingers. No way. That is not licking fingers. Licking fingers is like

like that. That's not licking fingers.

Right. Well, we'll agree to disagree. That's not even slurping through a straw. Like,

you get an air bubble or something. More of this good time coming away in a long time. I'll tell

you where the air bubble was. Commercial free segment right after this video screen to believe it.

I want to get to the gossip. Everything you said is right.

Mike Felger and Tony Maz.

I got five questions. I want to save me eight to nine.

Much to my surprise in the email chain this morning, Mike says,

Murray, you got five questions in it. You were off yesterday,

Thursday's a traditional day. Barth couldn't be trusted to do it, huh?

I, you know, I guess I, I guess we could have, be interesting to see what his question,

you know, he, he doesn't like the draft. Exactly. He does about, you know,

three, three control times. You got it, right? Not to be trusted.

Question number one, with the military enlistment age going up to 42 years old,

that news earlier this week, in your lifetime, what was your personal maximum enlistment age

to serve in the military? Not that you would have served, but you would have been physically

and mentally qualified to do so. 56 years old and eight months or whatever this is now.

Right now. Yeah. I think I could. I do. You could go through basic training, that whole thing.

I think I could. Well, see, to me, the thing you got a factor in is who you're competing with.

I mean, I don't think you, I'm not talking about like Navy seals or like, uh, basic army,

you know, the basic, I, I think I'm in shape enough to do it. So I would tell you, uh,

I ruptured my killings when I was 44. So I'll go with 35. 35 would be the limit for me.

Yeah, 37 was mine around that time. That was probably the best shape I was in. And after that,

it was right downhill, like a ski slope. Because I mean, I've lost the step. When I was 35,

I could move, but maybe I've, I'm just I'm missing what the standards are, but I don't know.

I, I think, and not that I'm in killer shape. I'm not, but I'm, I'm in decent shape.

I think I could do everything. Yeah, rope climb thing of the things of that nature.

The up and overs. Yeah. I mean, yeah. I mean, I'm like total pussy. So like that, that would

preclude me. But could I do the physical? I think so. But maybe I'm, maybe I'm off on that.

Question two, VH one, they say that the most awesomely bad song ever was we built this city by

starship. What is number one on your list? What's a great bad song? I forgot to give this more

thought, mask. Do you have one? Well, I would say I had a couple, uh, rock you like a hurricane.

I, uh, what the hell was that? Oh, that's, uh, no, it's, um, uh, here I am. Rock you like a hurricane.

Yeah. Yeah. Scorpion. Scorpion. Yes. So rock you like a hurricane. Yeah. Can I come back to that?

Sure. Okay. Yeah. Or quiet. Right. I would say anything from the limp biscuit catalog awesomely bad

still holds up a crazy town butterfly. Man, that's a one hit wonder from like the late 90s.

Bad, but it's catching. So I would do something softer like, um, uh, Kenny Rogers, uh, the gambler,

you know, what? Something like that. That's an awesomely bad song. Yeah. Yeah. The gamblers are bad

so I'm good fun. All right. Number three, what's better? The best burger you've ever had or the

worst sex you've ever had. Just by better, I mean, it brought you more pleasure. This one isn't even

close. I think this one's easy. This one's easy because the worst sex I ever had was my fault.

I'm sure, you know, so what I rather have a tasty burger or suffer the embarrassment

of botching a situate. Give me the burger. That's not even close. Burger in a landslide burger

in a landslide. I don't think it's close either. Yeah. No, and I think of a few bad ones and I

ended again, all me, but he can get a burger with an egg on it. Oh my god. And the egg gives you

a little juice. Everybody's a winner. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Not only that, I wouldn't expand it to all

other kinds of food. Uh, it is, is it a moral obligation to put a little pep in your step while

crossing the street when it's obvious there's cars waiting for you to get to the other side so they

can make a turn. Yes. Yes. A thousand times. Yes. I'll take it one step further.

If you are not elderly or, uh, I don't want to say disabled. That's obviously on this list as

well. But if you are suffering some sort of injury. Yeah. Okay. So if you're elderly injured, disabled,

I'll let you press the crosswalk button. But if you're an able bodied adult or children, I guess,

can hit it too. But if you're just a guy and you hit that walk button to stop the traffic,

you suck. Get across the street. You can do it. Trust me. You can do it. You can get across the

street without pressing that button and stopping everyone else in their tracks because you can't

figure out how to cross the street across the street. A whole, you can do it. Trust me. I, I believe in

you, sir, you can get across this street without stopping the rest of us dead in our tracks. Get your

ass across the street. You're fine. Murray, I am so glad you asked this question because not too long

ago. I was downtown. And you know that side street that runs right from the Sheridan to the fire

station to make a left on the back. Oh, yeah. Back, back, back, right, right by the high

convention. Yeah, where you make that left. I had a green light and some jackass who was probably

28 32. I don't know. Like the light turned green. He was in the middle of the road and he just

calmly strode along, recognizing that he was holding up traffic. And what do you think? I was

saying, well, I was sitting there watching it. Move your fat ass so I can go. You clown. Now,

did you say it to the person? No, see, I, I don't ever do that. I have a almost Pavlovian response.

So, so yes, you do have this more, more love. But your situation, if you cross on a green,

that window's coming down and I, I'm yelling at you every time. It's, it's, it makes me crazy.

You got a worse person on the planet than the entitled pedestrian mosey and on a green.

Like if you got a chop chop, put some pep in your, no, no, you get a good, don't hit that walk button.

You can cross on the green. Just move it. Those people are the worst. Finally, would you

rather be in jail for five years or homeless for five years? Another easy one. Yeah, I thought this

was easy too. This one is not easy cake. Piece of cake. You're here, by the way. And we just

have this kind of winter we had. Yeah, homeless, homeless, every single time, every time.

Yeah, I don't want to deal with the people in prison. I'd be afraid on the street. Well, I know,

I can go sleep in a corner somewhere and I want to find me. That was elements though. I, I don't know,

I don't know if I have any answer for this. No, get yourself a good street crazy. Three

hots on a cot. And sure, maybe end up someone's girlfriend against your will, but you know,

what I want to deal with a winter, we just had outside. I'm not going to prison. I don't know.

If I'm, well, almost can I go to pine street? Uh, yeah, I suppose you can pop in. Yeah. Yeah.

There's no, no brainer. Yeah, every time. Yeah, I don't know. And the food might be better.

Yeah, you can, you can scrounge and I, I maintain a, I maintain my virginity.

So I didn't want to go there, but yeah. Yeah. All right. So concludes my questions.

Oh, no, no, he missed, oh, no, he got it right. Never mind.

So I thought I missed one. Yeah, never mind. Go.

We are now an hour to go. Just your phone calls here on a gender free Friday back to you after
