Detroit's Dump Show, NYC Still Firing At Trae Young

K-pop demon hunters Haja Boy's breakfast meal and Huntrix meal have just dropped at McDonald's.

They're calling this a battle for the fans. What do you say to that, Rumi?

It's not a battle. So glad the Saja Boy could take breakfast and give our meal the rest of the day.

It is an honor to share.

No, it's our honor.

It is our larger honor. No, really. Stop.

You can really feel the respect in this battle. Pick a meal to pick a side.

I participate in McDonald's while supplies last.

Welcome to the jungle. My name is Jim Rome. I'll be.

What day is it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's what I'm saying.

I'm out of decky on this Friday.

I don't have to have it.

I'm happy to be here no matter what day it is, but whenever I skip the decky out,

there's no shortage of you seeing, hey, Rome, where is that decky out?

We need that. We need that.

Oh, you need that.

Okay.

Then how about one more of it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

They need it.

All right, so good day.

Good, good program for you. Let's get at it.

We are wide open to number one.

So why don't you jump up in here?

I do this every single day and I do it for reason.

I want you to take part.

I want you to be a part of the process.

I want to know you're out there.

I want to know you're hearing what I'm saying or watching what I'm saying

or watching what we're doing and you're reacting to it.

So get up on the phones.

1-800-636-8686.

No interviews until the top of our number two.

So the first hour is the best hour to get through.

Take advantage of it.

All you have to do is have a take, not suck.

Make sure that when somebody answers the phone

and say, hey, how you doing?

Jim Rome show.

What's your name?

What are you calling from?

What do you want to talk about?

All you have to do is give your name, say where you're calling from

and say what you want to talk about.

Make sure it's a take.

What you don't want to do is say, hey, phone slap.

Hey, phone slap.

Hey, phone slap.

Put me through to Rome.

He knows me.

Hey, phone slap.

Don't you know who I am?

Put me through it right now.

I'm going to make it better.

Okay, I believe you.

What are you going to talk about?

I don't know.

I'm going to wing it.

No, you're not.

Rome knows me.

Put me through.

You're making this way more difficult than it needs to be.

Name, city, take.

We'll get you right up.

If not, if you don't want to play that game,

if that's too much to ask, just head on over to the X platform

and post at Jim Rome and do what you want.

Because there I can't stop you.

See, there we can't qualify it.

We can't screen it.

We can't do anything.

You can do whatever the hell you want.

So, do whatever the hell you want.

Or email me at Rome or webmeadhabitate.com.

All right, so what you want me doing today?

Something a little bit different.

The NHL post season is getting underway.

So, I am going to quote,

talk hockey.

Not only talk hockey, but sabers hockey.

I love when you talk hockey.

How about that?

The sabers.

In the NHL post season, they snap the drought.

The sabers are in.

Taj Thompson joins me.

Top of our number two.

Also in Olympian and in gold medalist.

The pills can't get it done.

Maybe the sabers can.

Also coming up today, U.S.C. football coach.

Lincoln Riley.

Alvie's Weathe was.

Alvie, I'm feeling a prize pick segment.

I know Friday's are tough for you.

Why are you playing the hockey horn on that?

Alvie, I'm feeling a prize pick segment.

Ah, look.

Maybe you didn't make a mistake.

Maybe the prize picks are all about hockey.

Either way, think about that.

If you're up for it.

You have your cell phone number and you know where to find me.

So all of these things, then the after hour,

but first things first.

Hey, I bet you wonder where I'm going to start.

All right, here's the thing.

I know you clones, and I'm not saying all of you would do this.

But again, as I've always said,

I know you better than you know yourselves.

I know what you think before you think it.

I know what you're going to post before you reach for your phone.

I know this.

I know this.

So I know you're probably not going to believe

where I'm going to start today.

But it will all make sense soon enough.

Now, let me say this off the very top.

The big head is going to love this open.

There is your first hand.

I also have a feeling that V in the V is going to love this segment.

Now, that's not a reason to open with it.

In fact, that's a reason not to open with it.

One more hint.

Cindy may actually have a response to this segment

and her next response to any of my takes

will be her first response.

So do you get a sense of where I'm going?

It's all worth it, though,

because it means I get to talk about the Detroit Tiger is off the top,

which almost never ever happens.

So what up, Detown?

How are we living?

I bet you did not expect a shout out off the very top of the program today.

And I bet you're wondering what this is all about.

Look, I want to be very clear about this before I wade into this.

I like your team.

I like your ace.

I like your manager.

In fact, I really like AJ Hinch.

AJ Hinch, although it's been a minute.

He's been coming on this program for years now.

I remember one year he came on.

It was a super war year.

He came on three times in one week.

I think that's the record for a guest.

AJ Hinch actually appeared on this show three times in one week.

So I like him.

I like that young team.

And I think the fact is the Tigers have not got enough credit

for going back to back to the postseason the last two years and winning a series.

So be aware of Tiger fan that I'm not starting the show talking about your team only

because of the great equalizer.

That's not what I'm doing.

I'm acknowledging that the organization has a plan and it's working that plan

and the plan's working out pretty well.

Now, the great equalizer.

Put that aside for a minute, Albi.

It did actually play a role in the Tigers Royals game yesterday.

But it's not the only reason I'm talking about the Tigers.

Because again, I like the Tigers.

I want to be very, very clear about that.

Just as I want to be very, very clear that this take has absolutely nothing to do with the fact

that it is the 10 day anniversary of Chan Ho Farth Day.

A day that does not exist here or anywhere else except maybe only in V Ho Farth in Menophe's mind.

That's the only place that day exists.

All of that said anyone who knows this show knows full well that I'm not just going to ignore

that the home played umpire in the Tigers Royals game yesterday was having a 12 round knock him down,

drag him out brawl with the great equalizer.

It'd be great equalizer.

And we all know how that ended.

The only way it ever ends against the great equalizer.

Which is why I dubbed it the great equalizer decades ago.

And which is why that ballgame ended with only three umpires yesterday.

Home played ump, Andy Fletcher had to tap out.

Now credit to the dude for trying to fight through it and battle through.

But he also should have known there is no overcoming the Rhea.

There is no battling through diarrhea.

That's why it's the great equalizer.

It doesn't care.

It never cares.

Who you are or what you do.

Who or where you are.

What you're doing or how important your job is.

It is still coming to kick your ass.

Diarrhea.

And it's never lost.

I got cops who listen to the program.

Don't believe me.

Ask anybody who's ever fought it.

And if you can't find anybody or everybody who's ever fought it.

Just go ask Andy Fletcher.

Yo Fletcher.

I don't mean to air you out like this.

And I hope you're doing better today.

I hope you got plenty of fluids.

And whatever was running through you yesterday has finished its course of destruction.

Or that you corked up.

Or did whatever you had to do to stop that river of sewage flooding the ballpark.

But I also have to admit that I don't think I've ever heard of two major league game delays

due to ump dumping.

The game started with a normal rain delay too.

Then came the first ump dump delay.

That was before the top of the third.

When Fletcher went under the stands between innings and then took a very long time to come back out.

And then when he did reemerge someone snapped this very telling pick.

I think that pick says it all if you're watching on the stream.

Look at this dude.

That dude's not right.

And you could tell by looking at the pick without even knowing what's wrong with that dude.

We know he's not right but we know what's wrong.

He's turning a pale shade of gray, trying to hydrate and look at the posture.

If you've ever seen anybody look more like they had to take a dump than that dude right there.

Look at that stance.

That's not the stance they teach you in umpire school.

That's the stance they teach you in diarrhea school.

That's the stance of somebody who's already taken a dump.

That's the stance of a dude who's taken a dump and getting ready to unload again.

And again, that was only the top of the third.

Well man had a long way to go from there.

Obviously way too long because Fletcher finally tapped out after another delay in the seventh.

And frankly I've got to give it to this dude.

He fought the good fight didn't he?

It's admirable that he lasted that long at Evan Woodbury delay in the seventh inning.

It appears home played umpire Andy Fletcher who's been fighting an illness today has left again.

We had a delay earlier in the game.

Now it looks like another umpire is going to put on the gear and they'll go with a three-man crew from here on out.

End of post.

You see another one bites the dust.

Another dub for the undefeated, untied, undisputed, heavyweight champion of the world.

Diarrhea.

The great equalizer.

Again, you can try to stay in that fight but you're never going to win that fight.

And here they told us the big dumper was a catcher in Seattle turns out he's an ump in Detroit.

Ump show.

More like dump show.

Did anybody check the exit Velo on his explosive excrement?

Or the spin rate on his squirts?

All right, let's take it too far.

But V would have done it anyway.

Better to get better to hear it from me than V.

Again, props to this guy for attempting to do battle with the great equalizer.

But there's a reason I said this decades ago.

This reason I've said this for years.

Now I'm not even proud of it.

What's there to be proud of that I pointed out the obvious?

It's undeniably true.

Diarrhea will kick your ass and it doesn't care who you are or where you are or what you are.

This is why I dubbed it the great equalizer.

I guess we can add that to a list of reasons why I prefer the robot umps.

The robot umps never miss a call and also they will never ever get diarrhea.

The robots are exempt from the great equalizer.

They're the only ones.

Don't worry though, there is a happy ending here.

Not for the home play dumb.

We never got an update from him.

For all I know, he's still sitting on.

Still living in the bathroom, praying to the porcelain gods, I don't know.

But there was a happy ending for the Tigers because they were down to their last strike with two outs in the ninth trailing by two.

And somehow some way they were able to rally from that to do this.

What's that?

Face head.

Green or out third.

Kazelone as a cannon.

The throw.

Not in time.

It was well worth the weight.

10 to 9.

Your final.

There you go.

Sixth win in a row for the Tigers.

Great play by play call.

Because that ending was well worth the weight.

It really did turn out to be worth waiting around for the home plate.

Omp to dump his brains out all afternoon.

It really was worth the weight to stand around wondering what the hell fletch it for breakfast.

And as soon as that winning run crossed home plate, it was all worth it.

You see Tiger fan.

I told you this was ultimately a take about your Tigers.

It's just James Kelly and V in the fees.

Never take about the Tigers.

And sending.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

For a few of you morons, Merry Christmas.

Because Christmas came early.

You came downstairs and they'll be old.

Somebody had set up a Christmas tree.

Empathy that tree was a perfectly wrapped diary a take.

From yours truly.

To open up the show on Friday.

So ho ho ho ho.

Ho ho ho.

Morons.

Merry Christmas.

From Saint Vance Mac.

You're a moron.

You losers are welcome.

I only did it because I knew if I didn't, you would try to hijack the show.

Much like you did when baby Jessica.

Err.

Adult domestic disturbance Jessica was arrested recently.

You morons are welcome.

You're welcome.

Sorry about that V.

Preempted your take.

Sorry about that James Kelly.

You're not going to be on today anyway.

He's Cindy.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

And strangely enough, there's even more where that came from.

But I don't think we need anymore.

But I have more.

There is more where that came from.

You're welcome.

More, more, more.

You're welcome.

1-800-636.

8-6, 8-6.

Some other things I want to get into.

I want to talk about the New York football Giants.

Remember when they hired John Harbaugh.

That's supposed to be the best thing ever.

We got John Harbaugh.

We have a winning brand.

We have stability.

Consistency.

This guy is going to come in here and stabilize everything.

Yes, so far.

No.

So far that's not what has happened.

Also, you've got the NBA playoffs.

The NYX.

NYX enters some pressure to make a deep run.

Oh, but they open up against the Hawks.

And somehow some way Trey Young is getting dragged back into this.

I mean, okay, great.

I'm all for it.

I'm here for it.

Or it would be if he was still a member of the Hawks.

But he's not.

So it doesn't really work.

So why is the mayor talking about him?

I can kind of get into that.

The Lakers are going to open up against the Rockets.

And we know they're not going to have Austin Reeves.

They're not going to have.

They're just talking about a full compliment, right?

They're not going to have Luca Austin Reeves.

And then you got 41.

You're all Braun.

Who's going to have to carry this team into the next round if they have any shot whatsoever?

So I think we all would agree.

They've got no shot whatsoever.

The only article that I can make for the Lakers is this.

If Braun comes out and Braun can dig in and Braun can tie it up and Braun can go triple double.

And somehow some way they steal game one.

They steal game one because this much we know about the Rockets.

The Rockets are not a good fourth quarter team.

The Rockets are not a clutch team.

Maybe.

Maybe Braun can go Braun and steal game one.

The best we can hope for if you ask me is they do that.

They extend the series.

We actually have a series.

And it's not some beat down and it's interesting to me.

That's a win because the Lakers are not going to win that series.

They're just not.

So if they're not going to win that series.

That's what I'm getting at.

Could this be the end of Braun?

There was a nice long forum piece in the athletic talking about what might happen or not happen to Braun.

Much of it we knew.

Some of it's new.

And I might get into that.

I might.

All right.

So all of that.

1-800-636-8686.

Open phones in the first hour.

Plenty of time for your reaction.

We are talking hockey.

You know what number two?

I find myself on that.

I love the NHL.

I love the NHL playoffs.

I might as well just start the NHL playoffs the way I start every single year with the NHL playoffs.

It is the best postseason in all sports.

It is.

The NHL postseason is better than the NBA postseason.

It's better than the NFL postseason.

It's better than the MLB postseason.

It's the best postseason.

So we always hit that hard.

And we will again.

Also Lincoln Riley coming up later on.

What else do you need?

Telephone number is toll free.

1-800-636-8686.

I'm still waiting.

I'm waiting for a thank you.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

But you see, there's a certain nuance to it.

Believe it or not, there's even a certain nuance to the great equalizer.

You wouldn't think so, right?

But notice, I didn't do a take on the great equalizer,

although I did back in the day.

And it is timeless and it's legendary and it's accurate.

However, this is more nuanced.

This was more, you see me?

Something like I.

This is more take on the Tigers than it is on the great equalizer.

And I just said it.

They've won six in a row.

They come through big.

They walk it off.

It's awesome.

Give them credit.

Back to back trips to the postseason.

They won a series.

They're not getting enough credit.

I felt like it was time.

Oh, and then I noticed something unusual at the yard.

Why not do a nuanced take?

So I did.

And you're welcome.

Add Fabulous.

You quotes.

Post.

Come on, clones.

You know you have something else.

Never to be outdone by Jimmy.

Right.

He's right.

The gifts just keep coming.

This juice miss season.

Baby Jess.

Ruseenian Vraves.

And now the ump.

Battling with the great equalizer.

Cheers, clones.

Geno and Chattanooga.

Hey, Geno, what's up?

Like I said, always good to see somebody new.

At Craig the Randall.

Hey, at Jim Rome.

Let's do this.

Craig in Idaho.

Let's see.

We got ourselves a little poster.

The great equalizer.

Starring Jim Rome from the star of Space Jam.

Directed by V and the fee.

Just when you thought you had it all figured out.

The tagline is it happens to the best of us and the rest of us.

And if you're listening on the radio, but you can't see it,

it's pretty awesome.

It's people in the street.

A street filled with excrement.

And a bunch of porta-potties.

People running from the porta-potties.

There's no lady running in the front.

There's a dude in the suit running from the front.

There's people trying to get into the porta-potties.

Apparently it's a movie, starring me.

You know, from the star of Space Jam.

And directed by V and the fee.

AI knock yourself out.

Craig the Randall you already have.

Speak the devil.

V and the fee.

You hate the ump show.

Well, I hate the dump show.

You see, V, there is a right way to do this,

and a wrong way to do this.

And you're all wrong.

You obviously can't handle the topic.

All right, I'll be here, can you?

Don't encourage him.

Now, the big...

Okay, see, there's a right way and a wrong way.

I did it the right way.

V is always wrong.

Jamie and Green Bay gets it.

Jamie and Green Bay handled this perfectly.

This show open is a complete crap.

Signed Darko.

Sure, Alvi.

It's a complete crap.

Hey, Alvi, are you working today or are you here today?

Alvi, hello, is this on?

Alvi?

Just dial up Darko.

It's a complete crap.

Why that was so hard, I don't know.

Yelling.

Uh-oh, gotta flee.

Diarrhea.

Behind the plate.

Calling every pitch.

Sudden tummy glitch.

Diarrhea.

Diarrhea is the great equalizer.

This was the problem.

I wanted to head it off at the pass.

I wanted to preempt it.

I didn't want this to happen.

I thought that if I gave you what you wanted at the very top

for 15 minutes, we could avoid this whole thing.

Alright, there is no convenience segue, but I do want to read this.

Rest in peace.

Garrett Anderson.

A legendary SoCal.

Gone too soon.

Prayers.

Good thoughts.

And love to his family.

Friends.

And the halo faithful.

It's a tough day at the big day today.

No doubt.

No doubt.

That's a really sad story.

Garrett Anderson was a man of very few words.

Great player though.

Awesome player.

In fact, we have since moved to the country as you know,

but in that other neighborhood we used to live in,

he was in that neighborhood too.

And Garrett to come on the show.

That running to him.

And he was, that's a really sad story.

He was only 53.

Only 53.

And in all the time, great angel.

And it's so count native.

So thoughts and prayers to the family for sure.

Great player.

This says, when you lead off

with George Ashkeven,

and parody Larry is hitting clean up,

it's time to put this dog down.

Fancy would approve.

D-T in M-D.

What dog, bro?

You.

You.

What dog, bro?

You.

So how many beef segments have we done?

Hundreds.

Hundreds.

And how many have been absolutely epic?

All of them except one.

Yesterday's.

Now, I'm not going to say that it wasn't a fairly disastrous beef segment,

but you're really willing to take the beef segment out back

because it didn't work once.

You really want me to call Fonsy over that one beef segment.

You're really comparing the beef segment to Fons jumping a shark.

Because the one time it didn't work.

Bro, we did it for 44 minutes.

Not only were there 44 minutes of beefs,

there were people still on hold,

and people still writing in on social.

I could have done it for probably 44 hours.

It didn't work yesterday.

I'm going to give you that.

I'm not pushing back on that.

It did not work yesterday.

All good things come to an end.

That was like an eight-year streak.

Or whenever it started.

We've done hundreds of beef segments.

A million.

A million.

A million maybe.

But okay, D.T.

Let's go ahead and put that dog down.

Hey, D.T.

By that logic.

I mean, here I am.

How many thousands of shows have I done?

They're not all great.

They're actually as a dog that we mix in once in a while.

And it's not for a lack of effort.

It just doesn't always work.

What if back in the day,

I had a run of, I don't know,

three or four great jungle shows.

And there was no show like it.

But I had a bad day.

I had a bad show.

I had a bad show on a Thursday say,

maybe the show was not booked well.

Maybe I didn't sleep well that night.

Maybe the callers sucked.

Maybe I missed a width badly on a take or two.

Damn room.

You jumped the shark.

Somebody ought to take you and your show out back

and put you down.

Bam!

DTS, it's a bad take by you, bro.

Honestly.

Or, or sister, whoever you are.

Bad take.

Yeah, yes.

It was not a great beef segment.

No, we're not going to take it out back.

No, fauncey would not approve.

Fauncey, believe me.

Believe me, faunce?

Faunce would say,

Rome, what happened to the beef segment?

I look forward to it every Thursday.

Where is it?

It took point me in viewing.

Yeah, I don't know, faunce.

This one, dude, or person in Maryland, DT,

said that I should take it out back and put it down

and that you would approve.

I never said that.

I'm Arthur Fauncey Reli.

Come on, DT, man, stop.

What's next?

Take away, obviously, if there was.

Should I do that, too?

Should I take away the show open?

Should I take away the show?

Time to put that dog down.

Okay, if it sounds like I'm overreacting

and taking offense to that, out that's true.

I'm taking offense to that.

The beef segment kicks ass.

The beef segment rules just not yesterday.

Alone that.

Now you're done.

Like this person,

Mandy, the kid checking out

the at Jim Rome show Thursday beef segment.

All right.

Mandy Lopez has an infant.

Check it.

Nobody's going to blame.

Hey, DT.

I don't hear that baby complaining.

I don't hear that baby crying.

That baby looks happy.

That's the youngest clone in the jungle right now.

Like I said, start them early.

Start them early.

If the beef segment was so disastrous, believe me.

That kid would be dumping in its diaper,

screaming at the top of its lungs.

Mandy Lopez, quote,

Let's go, Mandy.

Love it.

Great to see the baby.

That right there is the youngest clone in the jungle.

And a very happy one at that too.

I must say she want to have one.

How easy that baby is.

But then again, that baby is hearing

the dulcet tones of Vance Mac.

Of course it's soothing.

Of course.

Babies always react to me like that.

Janice funny.

Like I'm not alone this.

I'm not one of those baby crazy people.

I'm not baby adverse.

But like Janet is baby crazy.

They God forbid you have a child and infant

and my wife's around.

I mean, Janet would have another one right now if I let her.

I don't know that we have it in us to pull that off.

But if I, if I were to say, hey, Janice,

you want to do it again?

She's like, let's go.

Anyway, babies love me for some reason.

I have no idea why.

They grab me.

Because I'm not throwing off that vibe like come to me.

Come to me, baby Lopez.

Come to me, baby anybody.

I think it's, I think it's the pipes.

I think it's the pipes.

Why do you think that baby is so happy?

Because that baby is listening to the beef segment.

See, DT wrong again.

All right, when we come back,

thank you for indulging me.

Alright, so let me just say this.

The only reason I'm going to bring up the mayor of New York City today

is because he brought up the NBA playoffs.

More specifically, the upcoming Nick's Hawk series.

Now, you know, I love a good Nick's Hawk series.

As much as I love just about anything.

You know this.

However, unfortunately,

it's not going to be the same without Trey Young.

And obviously, the mayor agrees with me

because the mayor is still taking shots at Trey,

even though Trey no longer has anything to do with this series.

Here is the mayor, Zoran Mamdani.

Yesterday, trying to deflect a question

about the absurd prices at MSG

for this series by blaming, believe it or not, Trey Young.

It's Trey's fault.

I'm wondering if you think the Nick's need to be doing more.

I think first, I would say that I blame Trey Young.

And I think it's always important to blame Trey Young.

Good one, bro.

Good one, speech writers for, bro.

Except it makes no sense.

And believe me, I get the Nick fans hate Trey Young.

And I think it's absolutely hilarious.

How over the top it is, how much they hate Trey Young.

But those dudes in the street in front of MSG

actually know how to land their smack.

They know what they're doing.

They know how to land their smack.

Okay.

So the joke is we're blaming Trey Young

for the crazy ticket prices at MSG.

Forget the fact that he's not even on the hawks anymore.

Blaming him for high prices would just mean

that people were paying to see the visiting star

and not the Nick's.

Assuming he was still on the team, but he's not.

So it's even goofier than that.

You see, it gets even goofier because Trey himself

reminded everyone yesterday at the Trey Young.

Remember what happened the last time the mayor of that city

had my name in his mouth during a time like this.

Hashtag.

Don't blame me when it happens again.

The thing is I actually don't think people remember.

Clearly the current mayor does not remember

and somebody probably should have reminded him.

Because back when Bill de Blasio took a run at Trey back in 2021

before Atlantis first round series with the Nick's

and told him to quote, stop hunting fouls.

It did not end well for the Nick's at all.

In fact, the fifth seed, the hawks,

steamroll the fourth seed, the Nick's in five games.

With Trey going off for nearly 30 a night,

and he hit the game one winner, and he ended up taking the hawks

all the way to the conference finals.

So Trey's right, it did not end well,

which is why it's hilarious that he's like Hashtag.

Hashtag.

Don't blame me when it happens again.

Trey's like, keep my name out your mouths

when the bricks go vintage bricks yet again.

Ask me, powder, ears, commissioner ears, powder

should really give Trey a special exemption

to rejoin the hawks just for this series.

Because the entertainment would be off the charts.

I mean, how much more interesting would that series be?

How much more interesting would the NBA postseason be?

Let him come back just for that series.

But, but unfortunately, we know that's not going to happen.

And since that's not going to happen,

and the dude's not on the team anymore,

the mayor probably can back off that point.

That joke did not land.

That smack did not land. It's not funny.

Especially because there are thousands.

Upon thousands of New Yorkers,

there's so much more qualified to be running smack

at Trey Young than the mayor.

Take a seat, Mr. Mayor.

Let the pros handle their business.

You have world-class smack runners in your city.

And you know exactly where to find them.

So next time you feel the urge to run some smack

on Trey Young, don't.

Or anybody for that matter, but especially Trey.

Just take a quick ride instead over to MSG

and point your camera at one or all of these psychos.

Trey Young.

Trey Young.

Trey Young looks like my dad's.

I never saw my dad's.

He still looks like.

I better not catch Trey.

Take me.

I better not catch Trey.

Take me.

Now, yo, give me a shot at it.

Go New York.

Go New York.

Go beef, man.

It's Trey Young, darling.

No.

No.

Trey Young.

You motherf***er.

I'm gonna f*** you up.

Because Trey Young comes to your heart right now.

Hell no.

I'll shoot that f***er's bonus.

Wow, wow.

Who would you say to Trey Young right now?

So Trey Young.

Trey Young.

Yeah.

You son.

Yeah.

Trey Young.

Bow, bow, bow, bow.

If Trey Young was here right now, I'd plot his hair.

Trey Young's born.

Trey Young's born.

Trey Young's born.

That's how you do it.

So compare that with the mayor getting up there and saying,

well, you know, the ticket price is that I blame Trey Young.

I think it's important to blame Trey Young.

Good one, Mr. Mayor.

No, that's how it's done.

That's how it's done.

I like Spidey out there interviewing everybody in this street

with a bottle swinging from the bottle and some guy saying,

hey, man, give me that bottle.

Give me a shot.

Blushing the honey and then Spidey asked one guy,

would you let Trey Young come to your house?

He's like, nah, nah, I killed that bleep bleep bleep bleep.

Bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow.

This guy's crazy.

And you're gonna sit up here.

I'll dress up.

I'll official.

Well, you know, I blame Trey Young.

I think it's important to always blame Trey Young.

That's not what New York's smack sounds like.

I'm an LA native.

And I know that's not what New York's smack sounds like.

That, those psychos.

If you're watching on the stream, you don't even need to hear it.

Everything's bubbled out.

Everything's bleeped out.

Crushing the honey in the street.

You know, what's that say about Trey Young?

That despite all of that energy, man,

that guy was running on that fuel and beat them.

He loved it.

He loved it.

That kind of New York energy would kill most ordinary people.

Or even uncommon people, great athletes.

Who could take that, but Trey Young?

I'd rip his blipping hair out.

Trey Young's bald.

Trey Young's bald.

He's got nothing to do with anything.

And he's still in their head.

He's still in their head.

Incredible.

It really is too bad he's not in this series.

Now, how much better would this series be with Trey Young?

Yeah, never mind a different series.

It's almost a different sport with Trey Young.

Hey, Rome, you were just looking for a reason

to reset those psychos in the street.

Uh, right.

Guilty.

Yes, I was.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

Forgive me that reason.

Always.

There isn't a day where my feet don't hit the ground.

I don't think.

First stop my mind.

Like, when you wake up in the morning,

what is the first thought in your mind?

I mean that.

What is the first thought in your mind?

Mind.

Mind is, how can I replay those psychos in the street outside

of the garden.

Killing tray.

Y'all.

Every day, I think that.

But I can't play that every single day.

I need a reason to.

And thankfully, the mayor gave it to me.

Spring weekends are all about family,

sunshine and evenings on the patio.

total line and more to pick up a great bourbon.

Maybe a single barrel.

I already love or something new to try with dinner.

it's easy to discover a favorite or something new for everyone

to enjoy.

Only a total one and more.
