Dave's at Spring Training, gas prices are going up, and why does Garfield hate Mondays?- h1

Yeah, guys, welcome into Monday on TGS. No, Dave. Dave is, uh, selling himself in Florida.

Although I think he probably should have gone a week ago. He probably would have enjoyed

it more because it's 70 something here. It's really nice. Uh, but it seems like he's

having a pretty good time. It seems like he's having a blast and I just realized I forgot

to post those photos that he sent us yesterday. So I will do that right now. So he, uh,

he posted a photo of himself in the, in the, in the end, this will be on our Facebook

page. Uh, he's in the broadcast booth with claves and Ricky. Uh, and then the other one

is the power dinner, the power dinner. John Hancock, Michael Kelly, Ricky Horton, Tom

Ackerman, Mike Claiborne. Yeah, they got that, they, I bet you they closed that place

down. Oh, wait, he did say they closed that place down. Yeah. Yeah. I'm shocked that they

would have closed the place down. What I want to know is who paid? Oh, that's a good

or did they do splitsies, which would probably be the smartest way to go do some splitsies

probably split because it's like, yeah, who would pay? Cause those guys are joking around,

right? I mean, there are, there are bottles of wine. I'm sure they didn't eat cheeseburgers.

I'm sure they have it steaks or something along those lines. Hold on. I'm just, we got

to have Dave when we talk to him who paid. Mm hmm. Dave has this weird thing where every

time he sends a photo, it's, it's like he screenshots the photo. You know what I'm talking

about. Yeah. Yeah. So we have to like re crop. So when we do that, but he did, he was at

the ball game. So this is his first time down in Jupiter. So he was at the ball game the

other day. I'm sure they're going to go to the Cardinals games every day. And then Wednesday

night, it sounds like they've got tickets. He and Michael Kelly and Tom Ackerman to go

to the world baseball classic game between Venezuela and the Dominican, which is going to be insane.

Man, that's going to be really cool. I told him, you know, I've been a Jupiter before.

It's cool. You'll love it. I'm not jealous of that. Although I'm always jealous of being

around baseball, but I am so jealous of Wednesday night. So jealous of what we got to get

an update. We haven't heard from Dave yet. So we got to see how golf went today. Oh, yeah.

Or if it ultimately did go. I wonder if they're still playing. You know, I guess it depends

on what time they went out, right? Because it's two o'clock there. So I don't know if they

went out early or if they went out at like 10, if they went out at 10, they're probably

still playing. We just posted those photos to the Dave Glover show Facebook page. If

you would like to go check them out. Awesome. So you guys want to see what Dave's up to.

I'm sure he'll send us more stuff as he's going through the weekend or through the week

here. But he will be back next week. We're going to keep things. Well, I mean, as buttoned

up as we can. Yeah. There's, you know, there's only so much we can do. You just do what

you can. Knock it out to get things moving. And Andrew is here. He's just having some.

Oh, there we go. Here we go. Hold on. There we go. We got three faces on the stream now.

Alex. Good. So how you guys feeling? Are you guys back? Are you still struggling a

little bit? I'm feeling better today. That was a quick. Yeah. Yeah. I was just telling

wheels, Andrew. I spent the entire weekend laying down. Like I literally was laying on

the couch from Friday night until last night. So I was feeling pretty crappy all weekend.

Today, I feel a little stronger, stronger. I'm just still very tired. It's like, it's

hard to gain ground on this one. Like, because even though I'm getting. It sounds like

what Dave had. Yeah. Because Dave went through like two weeks like that. We're just like

dragging him down. Well, in the Tony Scott was saying on Friday, he had something exactly

like this. And it was, it was two weeks. But he said he felt a little better every day.

It was just like just kind of dragon. Yeah. So I'm feeling a little better. Andrew's

still dragon. Is that what they meant? I mean, I think, I think it's hard to know what's

just generally me not feeling good at the human being. And what is like an illness?

Is it the gold or is it me? Yeah. It's just, it's just how I feel all the time. Andrew's

like, is this what it feels like after 34? Yeah. I will say I haven't felt I haven't taken

anything besides I be profan in like three days. And I haven't felt like the need to.

So the symptoms are getting better because you guys are going to need to laugh at anything

today. It's going to be a coffin fit. It killed me on Friday. So I did show to you, right?

Andrew the TikTok video people for forgetting how to skip. So that's a big trend right

now on TikTok. Yeah. Is people like, can you actually skip? Can you do it? And these

highlight reels of people trying to skip are unbelievable. They're unbelievable. Like

have you ever moved before? This one guy, the one that almost killed rage is a guy who's

teeny the other side of the room coming at the camera. He's a big man. Yeah. I mean,

he's a big man. He's got to be, I find a peg at six, three, two, eighty. He's a big dude.

And he starts to skip and like his hands are flying everywhere. And then his feet are just like

kicking out to the side. Yeah, his knees are making like a right angle. I mean, there are so

many people trying to skip with straight knees. Have you never done anything? I saw some of

them are funny because it's, you know, people that are maybe quite a bit older than the last time

they skipped. And you can see that they're trying to remember to do it or how to do it. But it's

stunning. But yeah, that almost puts you out, right? Yeah, because I was I started laughing.

I started coughing. And then that was me, which is making me laugh and cough harder.

Nothing's funnier than the misery of people around you. That, that, that, that, that

reel is pretty crazy though. Good stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And that's a whole thing. So if you guys want

to check it out and have a laugh, it's pretty great. It's pretty great to see how many uncoordinated

people there are out there. I guess some people just don't know what skipping is. Yeah, you know,

I, I feel like I would still be able to skip just fine. But I also, I was a little girl. I was

skipping all the time. Like I feel like boys probably stop skipping at a younger age than girls do,

right? Probably because you don't do it as a game, right? Like, you know, they have the little

squares and stuff. Yeah. The boys are like, I'm not doing that. Right. Um, I just know that,

you know, it's, it's, it's in my people's blood as a leprechaun. We were, we were born to skip.

I used to do that all the time in stores when I was with my kid when she was in high school.

I just skipped around. I did it while her, she and her friends thought they were being smart

asses and they would call me the leprechaun. For, for obvious reasons, if you're watching the

stream, you can see why. Um, and if I don't shave for a while, I really look like that. Um,

but then we were going through going through target and a couple of her friends were like a few

rows away and they saw me and they yelled out really loud. And I just kicked my heels and started

skipping and my kid wanted to disown me, which is one of the great pledges as a, as a parent,

is embarrassing your child, even for just a few minutes. It was great. See, yes, I have, uh,

I have skipping in my blood. Very nice. I want to see Andrew skip. Yeah. I can skip. Okay. Oh,

yeah. I've been skipping from way back. You still ask like a regular skipper. You guys are so

young though, you shouldn't have like lost it. Yeah, it should still be. I shouldn't have either.

I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it's fine. I can't imagine it's a difficulty. Mine is more

of a momentum problem than anything else. Like stopping or getting going? Um, stopping.

Getting going is fine. It's like me up roller skates. I get to run into something. Yeah,

stopping and probably just be like sort of a face down thing. I actually, with the vendor skipping,

I want to believe it when I see it because he also claimed that he could break dance at one point

and then that just didn't happen. I thought I could. Yeah. Yeah. I thought that the mental

battle would be like half of it. No. No, it turns out the break dancing part is. Yeah,

the physical battle is over half a more than half of it. What did you think you could do?

Worm. You thought you could do the worm. I mean, you couldn't do the worm, huh? Yeah,

I couldn't do the worm. I'm not sure I've ever done that. I know, I know I couldn't

do it. I was just a cheek. I'm like, I'm like stiff as a board. I think there's no worm going

on there. It's like a tremendous amount of training. I have no flexibility. Yeah, so they

need a lot of core strength. Takes a lot of, um, I mean, I don't even know because I thought I could

do it. And so I thought I did know what it took. Then I got down there and, uh, I want to see

the video. It was just kind of flopping. I would, I would look like a two by four trying to do the

worm. I just do stiff. I say flopping. It wasn't even flopping because in my head, I was like,

boy, I'm really moving down here. It's not the video. And I'm just like, just maneuvering in place.

Yes. I do love that he felt like mentally, that's the real challenge of like believing that you

can do it. If you can visualize it, I can do it. I can't see them. They just can't, you just

got a mind's eye. My dude thinks he's Walt Disney. If you can dream it, you can do it. If you

can, so I was like, all right, I can see myself doing this. And I think that's going to be half

the battle. Yeah. Turns out it was not much of the battle. It's like 1% of the battle.

It's like the last 1% right? Yeah, it's like the least important. It's the least important

1% of the battle. I would think like flexibility would might be, might be the first part.

Probably for me, that's what's going to do me in. And then, you know, some, some like core strength

and certainly the technique, right? Because you got to get the momentum working. And then maybe

at the end of that is the confidence, the belief in yourself. I also didn't even really have

the confidence. Well, then you didn't believe it. Well, I could see myself doing it, but I wasn't,

once I got there on the floor, I was like, I'm a little less certain.

So I've never been able to do a cartwheel. Okay. I didn't take gymnastics or anything. So like,

my mom would always try to show me how to do it. And I just couldn't make it happen. And then,

you didn't trust it as what it was. That's probably the main thing. And then I just get all

disoriented. They're like, kick your legs up. I'm like, what are you talking about? Like, I,

I don't know what I'm doing here. So a couple years ago, when Katherine was still like,

pretty little, we went down the basement. She was trying to teach me how to do a cartwheel.

And we're working on it. We're working on it. And I thought it was making progress.

And then we go back upstairs and I'm in the other room. And I hear like my family saying to her,

they're like, well, how did it go? Like, what was she getting it? And Katherine goes,

not really. And I was like, it's the best. I mean, it was a hundred percent true.

But I was like, I can't believe it. You didn't cover for me. Yeah, exactly.

You got to understand how this whole thing works here.

Starting to figure out that I'm not cool.

Yeah, I don't remember trying to do many cartwheels. We did all that stuff.

I think Dave would agree with this. Like, people in our era were like, and I can't speak

for you guys, but I don't think my kid did much of this. We were just basically doing parkour

before parkour was a thing. Like, you would try to climb walls by just running up the walls,

as fast as I get speed up and then try to grab the roof. And we would get up on the roof doing

that. And we would jump the, you know, the little like four foot chain link fences.

We would hit those. You just full speed running. And then you would just like dive at the top

and you just flip your legs over. I mean, it was, that's all we did. We just did stuff like that

nonstop for no reason, just because we wanted to see if we could. Of course, we also got hurt

doing a lot of those things. So, you know, there's a price, but you could do cool things.

Did you ever get to go to like a trampoline park or anything like that?

Not as a kid, but as an adult. Well, you know, when I was a kid, so there was a place not far

for where my grandmother lived in Pennsylvania that was like an indoor place that had a couple of

trampoline like, believe it or not, basketball courts. Oh, okay. That's fun. They were enclosed

completely. And we do one person on each side of a barrier and you're on trampolines. And then

the basket, the hoop was way up high, probably 15 feet up high. And you would try to time it so you

could score and not get it blocked. And if you're on one side, you're trying to time it so you could

get there. That was a blast. Oh, my God. Was that a lot of work? Oh, I bet. But that was the closest

thing to a trampoline park that we would have seen. And it was just a very limited thing.

Yeah, I feel like those really sprung up like after my childhood. Yeah. And then it was like kids

were going there all the time. They're just going bouncing around all day and day. And speaking

of that, the highlights of adults in those things, pretty hilarious. People thinking that they're

going to do all kinds of things. And then they're just not doing those kinds of things.

It's pretty great. Kind of like what Andrew was talking about. They believed it, but they couldn't

do it. Yeah. Well, it's like I can picture myself doing a backflip.

I don't have the skills. I do remember the first like flip that I did off of a diving

border pool thinking I was amazing. Like, oh, my God, I just did it. I am going to the Olympics.

And then not so much. It's a little easier than you think it is when you got the little spring

board underneath you. Yeah, I bet. You're thinking I just did this amazing thing. And it wasn't even

a good one. I think I belly flopped. But I'm like, I did it. I got all the way around.

They had a a celebrity diving show, like kind of back whenever dancing with the stars started.

So then they were trying to do like all sorts of celebrity. I got you like competition show,

but they would celebrities would like have teams and they would learn to do the high dive.

Did you ever do the high dive on the big one? No, no, no, no. What is how tall is that? Is it like

20 meter tall? 20 meter. So 60 feet. You wouldn't do that? No, Andrew. She's got to have done a

higher one. I don't think it was like 20 feet or anything. 20 feet. What did you say? 20 meters.

Yeah, that's the same thing. I think that's what it is. I don't know. I got to look it up.

That's the same thing. I don't know. What does that like 50 feet? 60. 60.

I'm looking it up now. I dive in feet. It is, oh, it's 10 meters. So it's only 30 feet.

Oh, that's nothing. Yeah, that's not bad. I've done that. We had one of those in school at Miami

for the actual diving team when we just went, but I can't do anything off it. I just jumped

went feet first into the water. I'm just like, yeah, that's, I would just be rolling off of it

and falling in. You definitely don't want to roll. Well, it's a good thing I say.

That's how you lay down your back or your stomach and that really hurts, man. That's no fun.

You just go down like a toothpick. Just hold your hands to your side and

well, you don't hurt anything.

That's DGS on Monday. Dave is in Jupiter. I'm sure we'll check him with him at some point

this week, although, you know, he talked about that last week and then it's going to be like,

you know, it is when you're on vacation. There's like nothing else exists. He's having fun.

He's having a good time, man. I'm glad he's gotten to do it because really if this is not a

sales pitch by any means, but if you've never gone down to Jupiter and you're a baseball fan,

you're a Cardinals fan, you should do it. Just find a, find a long weekend, go down for a couple

of spring training games. It's a different vibe. It's a different atmosphere. I mean, you're seeing

major league players, but at a minor league ballpark. So everything's a little closer. Everything

is a little bit more fun. You can get out on the backfields during the day, most of the time.

You know, there's a fan entrance where you can kind of go and get even closer there

to some of the action that's going on. So I highly recommend it. I'm glad Dave's

getting to do it. And he's getting the VIP treatment, though, because he's with Michael Kelly.

So Michael Kelly has a place down there and knows it incredibly well. And it's just a cool spot.

So I'm speaking of all that, we'll be checking in with Tom Ackerman from Jupiter around 4 o'clock

today. So we can get some answers about the dinner. That's right. I wonder Tom will tell who paid.

He may just tell us whether it was a person that paid or if it was a split C's case.

If I were him, I'd just be like, I did it. You know what I'm saying, would be beyond Tom.

It's kind of the kind of a Tom thing to do. He's a nice guy. So wouldn't shock me if Tom did

something like that. So Dave's having fun. He'll be back next week. We will hold it down

throughout the course of this week and have some fun. I know one thing that sucks. And we usually

start with kind of the serious stuff, the more serious news of the day. I don't think there's

anything for any of us to add at the moment about like the actual military action that's going on

overseas. But I know this. We're already feeling it. We're already feeling it. We just had one

of the biggest bumps and gas prices in years. Up 50 cents a gallon in the last week. It's only

going to continue to go up because of the disruptions for oil production in the Middle East. So yeah,

we're all going to wear it. We're all going to wear it. And that's going to include eventually

trickling down to how much food costs because food has to be transported and everything that has

to be transported has to have fuel to pay fuel paid. So that always gets passed along to us.

It's always going to get passed along to you. So when you see these things, whether it's tariffs

or gas prices or you we're going to wear it, man. The three hundred and forty three hundred

fifty million of us that is walking around doing our things. We're going to wear it. And we're

going to wear it the most when it comes to these types of impacts. That's not in any way.

Comparing what our service members are going to have to put on the line if they're in the

in the field or out in the Middle East doing something, whether it's in support or actually

conducting operations. And of course, nothing close to what their families deal with either

hoping that their loved ones come home. So that's the worst part. But there is obviously more than

that any time you have extended operations as we found out with Iraq. We found that out about

Afghanistan. We found that out about Vietnam. And yet keep finding ourselves in these situations.

Not all are doing obviously. But a lot of it is as we know from the past, a lot of it

was not only unnecessary, but was poorly planned and ended up hurting us way more than it helped us.

So hopefully this has a better end. I just don't hear anybody enunciating what they think that's

going to look like or how they're going to get there. Well, we're pretty good at this part.

You know, over the years, we've been pretty good at the first part,

taking care of the initial mission, you know, knocking out objectives left out, left and right.

It's the later part that we've not been so good at. So I guess fingers crossed.

We'll see what happens. I mean, I'm feeling pretty bad about the fact that there

doesn't seem to be like a clear objective that it's like, okay, we accomplished this goal.

So we're done. I mean, the broad objective is to make

Iran a more friendly place to the West, right? That's the that's the primer. I mean, again,

the broad one, but we only control so much of that. So I guess fingers crossed. It's going to be a ride.

Guys, welcome into Wednesday, Wednesday, Monday. Oh my God. I just time leaped.

Welcome to Monday on DGS. I know we all wish it was during the future.

Monday on DGS. Dave is down on Jupiter. He will return next week and we'll get updates from him

throughout the week as to what's going on down there and the kind of shenanigans that he and

Michael Kelly and Tom Ackerman and Mike Cleveland are good enough to obviously a lot of baseball

being followed down there can tell you that. I'm sure they're at all these games today. They

can't be at both today, though. There's one at Roger Neen Stadium down in Jupiter. The other

one is a road game. So the Cardinals are hosting the Orioles today. They're leading four to two.

And that one, JJ Weatherhold just had another home run and he's destroying it this spring. So

there you go, fans, if you're a Cardinals fan and you're looking for like what to get excited about

this year, JJ Weatherhold is one of the things to get excited about this year. And then they're

also on the road taking on the Houston Astros not far down the down the road in Palm Beach.

That one is three to two Houston. They just split up the team. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,

they all have 40, 50 people there. So he's half stay home and half go. And they got all the

minor leaders there too. So a lot of times we need extra players here. Five minor league players

get on the bus. You're going to Palm Beach. Okay. Yeah. So they have they have more than a full

major league roster for each of those games with the number of people that are still in camp.

And even if guys get optioned out, which is already starting to happen like over the weekend,

Jimmy Crookes and a few others were sent down sent to minor league camp and assigned to Memphis.

They will still play in these games. They just bring them back. So you're saying the odds of

Dave being called on to bat is not great. Okay. Not great. Okay. The odds of him doing that are

worse than the odds that you have of competing in break dancing. So higher than you expect.

Does Dave believe in himself? Yeah. Does Dave see it in his mind. If he believes it, he could

do it in Dave visualized himself. We will be talking some ball later on. Bernie Nicholas is going

to join us at 230. Tom Ackerman will join us from Jupiter around four o'clock. And in between all

that, we'll have a regular visit with Dave Murray as well. Let's hit Razor's edge. What he got

today, Razor? Well, I want to start. I was thinking about Garfield this morning because I did

I saw a Garfield comic. It was very cute, Andrew. You would have loved this one. He had his teddy bear

Pookie. And he was like, Pookie wants to watch TV here. And he was putting the teddy bear in John's

spot on the chair. It was very cute. And I got to thinking about Garfield. Today's Monday.

Garfield hates Mondays. But I titled the stream this today guys. Why does Garfield hate Monday?

He doesn't have a job. What would it be about Mondays that made him feel like unpleasant things?

To me, it's like a Monday, the start of the I got to go to school on Monday. I got to go to work

on Monday. If you're just a little kitty cat lounging around the house eating lasagna. Yeah.

What's the what's the big deal? And this is not a criticism. It's just it's true curiosity.

Well, do you want to know the dark truth? Yes, I do.

Yes, Andrew. Listen, now Garfield would never admit this, but consider who's going to go

who's going to be going back to work on Monday? Who's going to be who's going to be leaving Garfield,

you know, all by him. So just him and Odie being alone is what you're saying. He it's just

going to be him and Odie around the house. John's not going to be there. But he hates John. Yeah.

Well, that's what he'll tell you. All right. So he's just playing it tough. He'll tell you he hates

John, but maybe, you know, yeah, maybe he's not such a tough guy. You know what I mean? Maybe it's

just it's important for Garfield that everybody thinks he hates John. Oh, but then one John's

got to go his way of having power in the situation. Yeah, but then one John's got to go back to work.

Oh, look who said, you know, who said his buddy there? Odie's fun. He hates Odie. He actually hates Odie.

Odie's isn't idiot. Yeah, but that's why he's Odie's Odie's no fun to to be around. Odie just

sloppers all over. That's why he's fun. And I shouldn't say he hates it. He doesn't hate. I

know. Right. He loves Odie. He has a he has a begrudging love for Odie. You know, I mean,

then the way that brothers do. I'm worried about Pookie now. Who he the teddy bear? Who's

Pookie? Pookie is is Garfield's beloved teddy bear. Oh, I didn't know he had a teddy bear. He's very

cute. This says in a 1987 sequence, when Garfield had amnesia, Pookie cried out a tear when Garfield

did not want to play with him. Yep. I remember the I remember that panel vividly. Wait, he had

amnesia. Yeah. I didn't realize Garfield got this serious. So the 80s were kind of an experimental

time for Garfield. The early Garfields. They've really settled into now, you know, we're not going

to use words like lazy or, you know, crutches. We're not going to use words like that when we talk

about, you know, Jim Davis is slightly more current writing. But he was he was he's not as

experimental as he used to be back in the day. Yeah, that's a little Garf. It's a pretty heavy

stuff, although I guess a lot of those comics were kind of like that, right? Because I always

thought like peanuts was mopey. Mopey. I mean, it definitely. That's a good word for Garfield

was never mopey. He just grumpy, right? Yeah. I mean, you know, I mean, he's he's the original grumpy

cat. He's mad. He's, you know, he's mad now. You know, he retains the he retains the sharp edge

that we all value about Garfield. Yeah. What was the, oh, Heathcliff. Heathcliff is the knockoff

Garfield, which I think actually came before the dollar general version or is it? Oh, he was before.

I think he came before Garfield, but I'm not serious. What's the difference between them? Like,

I don't think Garfield was like 1979. I saw them when I was a kid. I read the comic strips

in the newspaper of both of them. So I know who they are. But like, I don't remember the differences

because I blend them together in my head. Heathcliff comics are unbelievable. And I strongly suggest

everybody look them up because it will be the weirdest, the weirdest thing. The punchlines

never make any sense. They're always looking at one here. So it's it's an adult human male and an

adult human female. They're standing next to a couple of vending machines. One of the vending machines

is for soda. One is for garbage. And in front of garbage stands Heathcliff, a raccoon, a mouse,

a squirrel, a small dog. And the caption is there's always a line for that one.

So there's all animals that like to get into the garbage. Sure, but like,

who is the point of that? Yeah, no. And that's on the funnier side. That's on like the funnier.

You could draw a through line. I didn't, but Kevin managed to draw the through line of what the

joke is there. And yeah, Heathcliff did come first by by four or five years. So Garfield's a ripoff.

So Garfield. Well, no, because they're doing they're doing different things. All right. Heathcliff

is a man about town who's going around in the human world. And he's he's doing things. He's

doing things that aren't making a lot of sense. And then the humans are pointing it out. Okay. And

it's it's it's not funny. And whereas Garfield is in a Garfield has created a world. Garfield

has stories of the world. Garfield. Well, no, it's not in the house. Does it? Well, a lot of it

takes place in the house. Most of it. Sometimes they leave. Sometimes they go to like John's family.

Okay. With John Boy and Doc and his other siblings and cousins. And his his adorable mother

and grandmother. Sometimes they go to the vet. The vet. Yeah. Yeah. With Liz. Okay. You know, I do know Liz.

I know this is the girl friend, right? Yeah. Show a lot, actually. Yes. Liz is the super hot

veterinarian that John is in love with. And eventually she looks like John.

Big red lips. Yes. Yeah. The super hot like I was saying.

That's right. He just went all Garth on us. As I was saying, super attractive.

Go to sleep says regarding Monday's Garfield probably woke up and looked at the news.

I mean, there you go. To fill up his gas tank on the way to work and went, what the hell?

No fun. She's. You read it a few more comments like that, right? Hell, yeah. Look up and check the

dang news. You probably did. Yep. Yeah. I bet. Man. Geez, you guys. Sorry. I'm not

working with you. I'm not shaming you guys. I feel bad for you. I feel bad for you.

I'm a cop. This is like you're supporting. You're supporting cast.

Oh, man. You're going to get a text from Steve that's like, do the show by yourself tomorrow.

Don't make it. Can you guys make it more boring? Because we don't want them laughing.

Those two laughing is just a coughing fit now. Well, if you don't want to laugh,

you better not look up in the Garfield. I mean, I'll tell you that right now.

Yeah. I mean, if he enters ever watch the Garfield Christmas special, don't get him started.

Yes, I have. Yeah. It's great. They're all good. The original one in particular vibe that you

just had there. That's the vibe when you ask me a really obvious baseball question.

Oh, I know. And I'm like, you do know what I do for living, right?

Yeah. I see your face when I say those things.

And it was just a really struck moment. He's like, come on. I have a professional at Garfield.

Yes, I have. It's a lovely, it's lovely. It's beautiful. It makes you cry.

It's fun to meet John's family and stuff. And that's really, you know, I don't,

I don't put much stock in like the Barnyard characters, right? From the from the Garfield TV show.

This show was fine, but you know, I don't really care much about those characters. Whereas,

as, you know, the expanded universe, I consider to be more like John's extended family.

Okay. That will occasionally come over to visit and stuff. You know, the TV show,

you can kind of leave that where it is. And then the hot veterinarian. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

So Andrew, have you seen the Chris Pratt Garfields? Have you ever taken the time to watch any of those?

I have not. I think there's just the one right now for as far as the Chris Pratt Garfields.

Okay. Maybe a thinking of Bill Murray. There's several Bill Murrays.

I have seen all the Bill Murray ones. You know, they're not great.

They're not great. They're kind of bad.

Yeah. Those are bad. I watched the beginning of like the first one and they couldn't finish it.

I've somehow said this on the show before. But what Bill Murray is doing is just a very lazy

impression of the original voice of Garfield from the 80s Lorenzo music. He's he's just

just. And of course, you know, what Lorenzo music's voice is kind of like Bill Murray's already,

like you can definitely see a similarity there. But what Bill Murray is doing is just a kind of

uninspired, you know, uninspired. How long are those movies? The Garfield movies?

Oh, yeah, just those kinds in general. Well, the extended editions are about three and a half hours.

Of the trilogy. Yeah. No, like what's it? What do they? If you go to the movie theater,

the fellowship of of normal to see some Garf, whether it's with Pratt or Murray or whatever,

well, how long are they? I did. What kind of question is that?

Because I'm trying to make the point that like an hour and a half. No one's finished.

No one knows. I think taking a little like comic strip character and making full movies is

probably too much. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Like a little 30 minute like TV TV show. All right. Yeah.

All right. You probably got material there. But after a few minutes, like I could you imagine like

an hour and a half peanut special? The worst and hours too much. Oh, man, speaking of the Lord of

the Rings extended edition. Oh, I'm watching them again. I watched the return of the King on Saturday

night. Oh, nice. The four hour version. Yes. And I'm sick. So I keep like falling asleep and

waking up. I swear it took nine hours. I cannot believe this is still on. Pippin is still singing.

He's still talking. He's still trying to get the little magic. What do you call it?

All no. He's trying to get that little I'm spacing on the name. I literally just watched his last

night. I was watching this last night. I didn't watch the whole thing, but I watched like the first

volunteer. Yeah. Yeah. He just he just communed with Salron in the last minute that I turned it up.

That's DGS on a Monday. Dave is down in Jupiter, spending the week going to spring training games

and going out to dinner. I think that's all they're doing.

Going to baseball games and then going to stay houses. I think that's really kind of the entire

time down there. Oh, I'm sure there's some beverages involved in the perfect. Yeah, I'd imagine

some storytelling and such a good time. I'm sure he's having a blast. Glad he got a chance to

do it. He'll be back next week. We obviously will hold it down in the interim. We'll have Bernie

Mickless at 2.30 in his normal spot. Dave Murray at 3.30. Tom Ackerman will come in at 4 o'clock.

Well, he won't come in because he's in Jupiter too, but he'll be joining us on

that connection for that. He's not going to fly back. He doesn't have. Tom's got juice. He

don't have that kind of juice. You know, that's a lot of juice to be down there for a spring training

game and then be back here in time for a four o'clock hit and then go back down there. Tom's

that's some Taylor Swift stuff. Yeah. That's right. Exactly. Exactly. He's Tom is wired in,

but he ain't that wired in. He's no Taylor Swift. You guys see, I know this was it's amazing to me

that this had to be a story that it had to be something that was announced and written,

but you guys catch that and I know that as a person that's flown quite a bit here lately and

flew a week ago, Dave's been flying here these last couple days. United Airlines is requiring

people now to wear headphones if they want to listen to audio or watch a video. Why do we have

to require that? How come you just don't have the common sense to just like everybody else?

Nobody else wants to hear your crap. Put headphones on. Why? It's so sad that we have to have

rules in place for what should just be common courtesy. Yeah. I was surprised that that was

an up of a thing on airplanes that they they had to make that rule. Like you said, like

common sense would tell you the other people in the airplane cabin do not want to hear your

episode of the pit that you're watching or whatever else. Like just put on a pair of headphones

or watch it with closed captions on. I watch things on my phone on silent all of the time. Sure.

It's really not a big deal. But when you're traveling, you know, I mean, who doesn't travel

with headphones? I know. And usually the airline has a pair of earbuds. They can loan you anyway.

But it's it's the classic thing of like, well, okay, I get that you think you're special and you

should be able to play your thing on your speaker. But what if everyone was acting exactly like you,

the entire system would break down. So what makes you better than everyone else? I don't

understand. I don't understand how people enter that mindset of like, well, I'm the exception.

I deserve to blast this out for a hundred other people to listen to. Yeah.

I feel like maybe I don't know if this may be going a little far. I must feel like retail stores

should have this kind of a rule too. Like you can't talk on speakerphone when you're in the grocery

store. Stop that nonsense. Stop that nonsense. Nobody else wants to hear both ends of your

conversation. I don't. And I'm ever I don't know. Are you guys like, I'm always super tempted when I

see someone doing that to get close to them and just start making noise. Just make noise so they

can't hear each other. Just keep continue to make. It's what? First of all, does the other person,

are they okay with being on speakerphone? Do they know they're on speakerphone? And secondly,

is it really that rough for you to hold it to your ear? Is it really that hard for you to hold it

to your ear? I just don't like being on the phone in public period. I would I do everything I

can to avoid it. It's just awkward. It's not a pleasant experience. Yeah. It's not like, oh,

I'm I'm at Shuk's right now. This is a good time for me to catch up and like call my mom like, no,

I wouldn't much rather do that in the car where it's quiet. That's the best place to make phone

calls. I'm asking, it is the best place. It really is. It's like you're on a little phone booth.

Great. And you're not 30 other people are hearing your conversation, which is nice. So who's

doing this the most to you? When you guys hear this rule needs to be in place, who are you

picturing doing this? Using a speaker phone to make a call in the airport or right before the

plane takes off or just watching videos without headphones on either the very young or the

rather old. So we're blaming Z and and boomers. Kind of. That's who I would blame the two of them.

Yeah. I feel like millennials and Gen X are I mean, I'm sure there are exceptions,

but they are not the ones I see doing this stuff over and over again. My dad does the speaker

full thing in public. And I just every time I hit him, like put it up to your ear. Nobody else

wants to hear this. I don't want to hear this talking to your phone. Yeah. And then I get blown

off because that's what I was saying. Listen to me.
