Full Show 3-9-26

Yeah, guys, welcome into Monday on TGS. No Dave. Dave is 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 year. It's really nice. 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 he posted a photo of himself in the in the end. This will be on our Facebook page.

He's in the broadcast booth with claves and Ricky. 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, gee, 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? Because 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 going

to ask 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, so we have to like re crop. So when we do that. But he did. He was at the

ball game. So this is 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 or if it ultimately did go.

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 and get things moving. And Andrew is here. He's just having some. Oh,

there we go. We got three faces on the stream now. That looks good. So how you guys feel?

Are you guys back? Are you still struggling a little bit? Oh, I'm feeling better today.

As 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. But today I feel a little 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 a little bit, it sounds like what Dave had,

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 dragging.

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 cold or is it me?

Yeah, this is just how I feel all the time. Andrew's like, is this what it feels like after 34?

I will say I haven't felt I haven't taken anything besides I be profan in like some days.

And I haven't felt like the need to. So because symptoms are getting better.

You guys are going to need to laugh at anything today. It's going to be a coffin.

I killed me on Friday. So I just showed it to you, right? Andrew, the TikTok video people

forgetting how to skip. So that's a big trend right now on TikTok.

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 teaming 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 ground. 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 popping. And then that was me, which is

maybe laugh and cough harder. Nothing's funnier than the misery of people around you.

That, that, that, that, that real was pretty crazy, though.

Good stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And there'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 like, I'm not doing that. Right. I just know that, you know, 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. Just skipping 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. And then if I don't shave

for a while, I really look like that. 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. That's great. See, yes, I have, I have skipping in my blood. Very nice. I want to see

Andrew skip. Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. I've been skipping from way back. You still 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? Stopping. Getting going is fine. It like me on roller skates. Like it's got to run into

something. Yeah. Stopping and probably just be like sort of a face down thing. I actually

was 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 happened. 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. Yeah. That's a good battle. Over half of it. What did you think you could do?

Warm. You thought you could do the warm. I mean, you couldn't do the warm, huh?

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

now. I was just a key gig. 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. It takes a lot of, 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 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.

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 all the video and I'm just like,

just maneuvering in place. I do love that he felt like mentally that's the real challenge of

believing that you can do it. If you can visualize it, I can do it.

That's why the rest of the population can't do it. They just can't see themselves.

They just can't, you just got a mind's eye. My god, my dude thinks he's Walt Disney.

If you can dream it, you can dream it, you can do it. 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 one percent of the battle. It's like the last one percent, right? Yeah,

it's like the least important. It's the least important one percent of the battle.

I would think like flexibility 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 of 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, oh, kids are the best. There's some really hard. I mean, it was

100% true. But I was like, I can't believe it. You didn't cover for me. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, I understand how this whole thing works. Starting to figure out that I'm not cool.

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

I think David agree with this. Like people in our era were like, 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,

fast like 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, you also got hurt doing a lot of those things.

Yeah. 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 from 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, okay, that's fun. They were enclosed completely and would you 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. That's pretty great. Kind of like what Andrew

was talking about. They believed it, but they couldn't do it. 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 board or 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 springboard 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.

Do you ever do the high dive off the big one? 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. I've done a higher one.

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

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

same thing. I don't know. What is 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. That's not bad. I've done

that. We had one of those in school at Miami for the actual diving team. And we just went

for you. But I can't do anything off it. I just like jumped went feet first in the water. I'm just

like, yeah, that's I would just be like a rolling off of it and falling in. You definitely don't want

to roll. Well, it's a good thing. I see. That's how you lay back or your stomach and that really

hurts. And 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, just like nothing else exists. He's having fun. He's

having a good time. Man, I'm glad he's gotten to do it. Cause 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 final 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 me.

Everything I paid for everything. Honestly, it wouldn't be beyond Tom. It's kind of the kind of a

Tom thing to do. He's a nice guy. So it 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 in 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. Everything has to be transported. It 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, 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 anytime 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. Yeah, I guess 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 in 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. I 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 in that one.

JJ Weatherhold just hit 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. And that one is

three to two Houston. That is worth it. They just split up the team. Yeah. 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 you 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 out 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 can Dave see it in his mind's eye. If he

Dave, 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 do you 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 to 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.

I got to thinking about Garfield today's Monday. Garfield hates Mondays. But I titled the stream

this today, guys. Why does Garfield hate Mondays? 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 here. 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, yeah, maybe he's not such a tough guy. You know what I mean? Maybe it's just,

it's, it's important for Garfield that everybody thinks he hates John, but then when John's

going to go his way of having power in the situation. Yeah, but then when John's going 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 is an idiot. Yeah, but that's why he's, Odie's no fun to,

to, to be around. Odie just slavers all over it. 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, in the way that brothers do. I'm reading about Pookie now. Pookie, the teddy bear.

Who's Pookie? Pookie is, is Garfield's beloved teddy bear. Oh, I didn't know you 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, he, he was, he's not as experimental as he used to be back in the day.

Yeah, that's a little Garf. It's 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 him. Garfield was never mopey.

He just grumpy, right? Yeah, I mean, you know, I mean, 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,

the knockoff Garfield, which I think actually came before the dollar general version. Or is it,

oh, he was before? I think Heathcliff came before Garfield, but I'm not serious. What's the

difference between them? Like, I feel like Garfield was like 1979. I saw them when I was a kid,

I read the comic strips and 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 all these. Yeah, I'm 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 is there 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 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 story. It's ours. Garfield, well, no, it's not within 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 Liz is the girl friend, right? Yeah. She'll a lot, actually. Yes. Liz is the super hot

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

Yes. Yeah. The super hot like I was saying. He just went all garth on us. As I was saying, super

attractive. Who to sleep says regarding Mondays, 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.

Geez. 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 this. I'm not shaming you guys. I feel bad for you.

I feel bad for you. 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 any Garfield. I mean, I'll tell you that right now. Yes. These are niece lappers.

Amy is asking 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 a 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.

I have. It's a lovely. It's lovely. It's beautiful. It makes you cry. It's fun to meet

Johns, you know, family and stuff. And that's really, you know, 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 Johns extended family 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. Yeah. 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. I think you're thinking of Bill Murray. There's several

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

They're kind of bad. I watched the beginning of like the first one and I 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

Lorenzo. 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. Yes. How long are those movies? The Garfield movies?

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

Of the trilogy. Yeah. Now, 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? 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. 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 can't wait and I'm going like, I cannot believe this is still on. Pippin is still singing.

He's still talking. He's still he's still trying to get the little magic.

What do you call it? Oh, no, he's trying to get that little I'm spacing on the name of the

volunteer. 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 Sauron 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.

Sounds good. 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 and

the perfect. I would imagine. Yeah, I'd imagine some story telling in 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 Nicholas at 2.30 in his normal

spot. Dave Murray at 3.30. Tom Akerman will come in at 4 o'clock. Well, he won't come in

because he's in Jupiter 2, but he'll be joining us on that connection for that. He's not going to fly

back. Tom's got juice. He don't have that kind of juice. That's a lot of juice to be down there

for a spring training game and then be back here in time for a 4 o'clock hit and then go back

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

but he ain't that wired in. He's no Taylor Swift. 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 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 speaker phone 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.

I said, what? First of all, does the other person, are they okay with being on speaker phone? Do

they know they're on speaker phone? 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 Shooks right now. This is a good time for me to

catch up and like all my mom like, no, I would 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 aren't hearing your conversation,

which isn't it? 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 you 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 how you listen to me.

I spent a TGS day this out. He is down in Jupiter hanging out having some fun with spring training

and we'll give you some updates on that. If you want to see a couple of photos from his time

down there with the boys, that's definitely a boys trip. Oh, yeah. He's having a good boys trip.

They all the crew went out to dinner the other night, apparently a four and a half hour dinner.

That actually is on the low end of what I went anticipate with that crew because it was it was

John Hancock and Michael Kelly and Dave Mike Clayborn Tom Ackerman Ricky Horton. I think that was

the entire crew, but there are a couple photos up on our Facebook page. If you guys want to check

that out, see what Dave's been up to. Obviously, he's at the ballgame right now. Cardinals are leading seven

to two in that game. That's that Roger Dean Stadium. And that would be the one that they're at.

I don't think they went to West Palm to see the other game where the Cardinals are believe.

I know the scores changed. I got to check it real quick. We got the one that's the home game.

That one's on TV here. Yeah, they're down against Houston and West Palm Beach. So a little split

squad action for you for the Cardinals today. And if you're interested, JJ Weatherhold in a

home run just a little bit ago in the game at Roger Dean Stadium. And Bernie Mclist will join us at

230. We'll talk about Weatherhold and a whole bunch of other baseball stuff. I'll have Dave Murray at

330. We'll have Tom Ackerman at four o'clock. So we are business as usual on a Monday on DGS.

The only thing that's not usual is Dave not here. Other than that, we'll keep things rolling

and Dave will be back next week. So that's something I want to throw at you guys. And because

it's not really. Well, I mean, it can be anyone, right? Because this is not necessarily for

purchasing a new home or getting a new apartment or renting a new property somewhere. It's much

more about I think about the Airbnb universe, you know, whether it's VRBOs or verbos or

Airbnb's. But apparently landlords are using AI to alter the photos of the rental properties.

So they're making them look better than they are online. And then people are getting there and

going, wait a minute, the pictures of the interior made this look bigger or made it look better or

like it was more modern, you know, there was a more modern decor. The outside is dilapidated

where on the picture, it looked really great. So apparently, this is a thing that's happening

on a regular basis. I searched it. So when I saw the first story on I saw it on Twitter.

And then I went and looked for for examples of news stories. And they're quite a few of them

where people are being fooled by AI photos when you're looking at properties online. Again,

these I'm assuming these are short term rentals because any that would be long term, right? If

you're going to go rent an apartment for a year lease, well, you're going to look at it before

you decide to rent it. But with the other stuff, you just book it online. You look at the pictures

online, you book it, you pay for it, and then you show up. And by then it's too late. How is that

legal? How is it in any way not fraud if you're doctoring a place up to look better than it is?

And then you get there and it's whether it's trash or not, I don't know, right? We don't know,

I don't know the level of all of them, but it's certainly a lot less than what you think you

were thought you were booking when you did it on the website. Yeah, I mean, that's a real bummer.

That's why it's so important when using Airbnb to check out the reviews from the other people

who have stayed there. That's a tremendous tool that you can utilize because odds are if they're

lying about the way the place looks, the former tenants, whatever you want to call them,

are going to be calling that out in the in the reviews. But yeah, I don't there's a lot of

things I'm not sure why Airbnb is able to get away with. Well, just the whole thing of like,

you have to clean the entire place before you leave and we're also charging you a cleaning fee.

I don't understand how that makes sense. The first time I was first time I was told,

do the laundry before I left. I was like, wash the sheets and stuff, wash the sheets, the towels,

all that. What the heck? Yeah, I've only stayed in an Airbnb like once or twice. It was fine,

but I'm I'm going hotel pretty much every time because of what Kevin's talking about. There's

just so much more accountability when it comes to staying at a hotel. Yeah, they are incentivized

to for the most part like tell you the truth. If there's an issue, they're going to take care of it.

And I'm not expected to clean like, I'm not expected to wander my own sheets at a hotel. I think

that is kind of crazy. A lot of it feels like a trap. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's a lot of I

remember one time I stayed in Airbnb for a bachelor party. And one of the many, many, many rules

on the listing was that everything has to be everything that was outside, everything that was

inside, everything that was out on the dock. Everything had to be exactly where it was when you got

there. Right. Or they were they would charge you like a $200 fee per thing that was in a different

place. Yeah. So if you moved a chair two feet. And we moved a lot of chairs before we found the

list of rules because it was like a list of rules on like a menu placard like on the table. Yeah.

That no one that definitely feels like a setup. Yeah. It felt we we ended up using the pictures

from their website. Like the Airbnb, you know, shots to like recreate exactly the way that it

was in the photos. And I mean, apparently they're using these tools to like for homes and for like

longer term rentals too, like just to get people to come in there. But if I get there and you're

showing me something that doesn't look like what I saw, there's no way I'm going to get I'm not

buying that house. I'm not renting that apartment. Yeah. Because you you you fooled me.

You lied to me. You wasted my time because a lot of times it would be a property. You wouldn't

go see otherwise. Yeah. And it makes you wonder why they're doing that in the first place. Doesn't

it? Because I've had that experience when looking at apartments before the photos make it seem so

much nicer than it actually is. And I just asked myself like, well, what was the end game that I

showed up and everything was way worse than I was promised. And I go like, you know what? I will

sign. I got these wonderful. I feel like it's a giant waste of time for anything that someone's

going to visit first. But like with an Airbnb, nobody visits them first. Right. Who would do that?

You're not going to go visit your future in the hotel. You're going to stay out. You're going to

trust that the hotel is going to look like it says it does because the company that stands behind

it puts their name on it and they have a lot of them and they know what they're doing. They're

professionals. And that's not to say people that that own homes that are like short-term rentals

don't. But clearly these people that are willing to rip you off and that's that's clearly a ripoff.

I don't even know like if you ran into that where you booked a place and you show up and it's

nothing like the photos online. Do you have any recourse with those companies other than leaving a

bad review? Is that the only recourse you have? Yeah, I'm not sure. I did see a video this weekend

of someone. They said their mom booked an Airbnb without looking at the photos. And then it was

just like weird. Everything was like movie memorabilia all over the place and it was all like cheap

and well looking. But I was watching it thinking to myself, why on earth would you book a place and

not look at the photos? That's fun. It's fun to go and see what this is where I'm going to stay.

Exactly. Yeah. So weird. Dude, the sheer number of times or ways that your fellow human being

looks to rip you off is just frustrating. Yeah. It is so wildly frustrating whether it's

people that are trying to scam you on the phone or via email or this type of AIs and the AIs

stuff is going to keep getting worse because it's more and more available and it's only getting

better. Now, you can still look for things, right? Like the experts in these stories were like,

hey, when you're looking at the photos, pay attention to things that might look weird.

Is a shadow not right? Is part of the image looking like it's bending or it's a weird shape?

Like things are not the way they're supposed to be. But man, you feel like this is the stuff that

we talk about all the time when it comes to AI and regulation and the government needing to be

ahead of it, not behind it. How hard would it be simply to pass a law that says it is a federal

crime to actively mislead people that are coming to rent or purchase a property? I mean, we already

have truth and advertising laws that probably don't get followed as closely as they should.

That is bait and switch. That is absolutely what it is. If you're telling me this place looks

like it's got updated paint and it looks nice. It better look like that when you get there.

Yeah, I guess you have to ask yourself, like, well, who's benefiting from their not being a law

for that, you know? Landlords. Right. Guess what landlords have? Typically, again, not everybody,

because some of these are more individuals. I have family members that have properties that

they use to rent out. That's not what I'm talking about. Although it's crime when they do,

if somebody that's a local like I own two houses and I rent them out, if you're doing it,

you're just as bad as the wealthy landlord doing it. But the wealthier ones, so I have money,

they have influence. Yeah, the ones that like never have to visit the property because there's

so many of that. Like, you know what I mean? I mean, that's when it's just there's just no

accountability there. It's sad stuff. I agree with you, wheels. Sometimes, I mean, just with everything

going on in the world, there is so much like just dishonesty that you have to try and dodge.

And then you feel like a chump for being like a regular person at a certain point. You feel like

a chump for not taking advantage of other people. Because it just seems like everybody who's

successful or what have you is getting one over on other people in some way. So just showing

the stream Dave sent us a picture from the golf course. So he did it. He told the story last week

where Ricky invited him to join the for some and play today. But Dave doesn't play a lot of

golf and he warned Ricky. He texted me and I think he checked with a couple of other people too.

He's like, what do I say? Because I don't play enough. I don't want to be terrible. I'm like,

just tell Ricky, you're not good and see what he says. And if Ricky says it's no problem,

then go have fun. And I guess that was the choice. Dave wasn't that fun.

Dave's got his golf felt fit on. I know. I don't think I've I mean, never seen him in that.

I was gonna say I don't think I've ever seen Dave with a collar on his shirt. Yeah. And there's

a collar on that shirt. It's cropped weird again. I got to go into fix it. I wonder if he

does have an old phone. I don't know what I'm not sure what happens. I'm really not. Although

this one fits okay. Like when you click on the photo, it just it comes up kind of normal. When

you post it to Facebook, though, there's like the black on the top. Yes. Yes. Yes.

I wonder if he bought that shirt at the gift shop at the clubhouse.

Dave's probably listening right now. Like I'm gonna see what my chums are saying. And we're like,

yeah, but he's never even worn a collared shirt. Hey, listen, that's one of the picture.

That's one of the things I admire about the man because that's what I aspire to be is the guy

that never has a collar on his shirt. Yeah, Dave's having fun. Yeah, it looks like a wonderful

vacation. It's cool when we check in with the mind of Texan. So I'm gonna text him. How'd you hit him?

There we go. We fixed the area. All right. So he said he said post away. So go ahead and

that'll be on the Facebook page as well. And we'll find out how he hit them. And when he answers

this question. That's called a front selling. We'll find out after the break. Well, maybe. We'll see.

Hi, it's Monday on TGS. So we got the review from Dave. So Dave's out. He's down in Jupiter with

the guys. And he just sent us a photo that we posted to our Facebook page. He's there in a

portion. John Tudor is in there. Obviously, Ricky Horton was the one that invited Dave to go out

and play golf today. And he was a little worried about not wanting to be bad, right? Like,

last week. And I believe me, I would have the same concern. In fact, my first reaction would

have minatex Ricky me like, unless you want me to caddy, you know, on me out there. I was like,

I can caddy. I'll be all right with that. But I asked him how'd you hit him? And Dave's response

was one of a one of my best outings ever. I didn't bring dishonor to the show. Yeah. Well done,

sir. Well done. Because I would have probably injured someone with my golfing. It would be someone

on the fairway to the right of the fairway I was trying to hit it on. It would be the slice side

because that's where everything goes for me. Even when I aim left, it goes right because I suck and

I don't play golf. I'm glad he had fun. Yeah. And just it looked like a good time. And I'm sure

now it's, and let's see, what is it? Three 30 there? It'll be, it'll be off to dinner somewhere

in a couple of hours. Nice. It would be another five hour dinner, tune in tomorrow.

For the adventures of Dave and Jupiter. Rate you at something you want to hit here?

Yeah. So everyone, it's you know, the actor Timothy Shammell. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, everyone is very angry with him right now because he made some comments in an interview

that he did with Matthew McConaughey. Timothy said, I don't want to be working in ballet or opera

or things where it's like, Hey, keep this thing alive. Even though no one cares about this anymore.

He also said, you know, I'll respect to the ballet and opera people out there. But he basically

dissed ballet and opera and called them art forms that people don't care about anymore. So all

weekend, like I said at the top of the show, I was sick all weekend, spend a lot of time just

laying on the couch. Unfortunately, spend a lot of time scrolling on my phone because I'm stuck

on the couch. I cannot tell you how many people I saw post about Timothy Shammell and his insensitive

comments about opera and ballet and he doesn't know what he's talking about. But I had to think

as I'm looking at this story, I'm like, there's no way Wheeler disagrees with Timothy. And also,

I don't really know anyone who goes to the ballet or goes to the opera. I'm not saying they're bad.

I'm not saying like they shouldn't exist. I'm just saying I don't personally know anyone who's

super into those things. I think it's kind of a little bit of a fair point to make overall.

I mean, my understanding of what he said was not that he was trying to take shots at people,

although he seemed to realize that he did at the end of what he said. It is a reality. It's not

very nice to say it out loud. But let's compare the number of people that go to the ballet or go to

the opera and how many people go to movies in a given year or for even just a given movie or

performance. Clearly, the number of people that truly care about those things is much smaller

than it would have been the percentage of people, much smaller than it would have been 100 years

ago, 200 years ago. And it's not none. And it doesn't mean that those performers aren't amazing.

It doesn't mean that they're not worthwhile. Of course, they are. But I'll tell you this,

here's my weird end-around defense of Timothy Shalameh. A lot of those people in the

higher arts are really snobby about what other people like. Oh, you like comic books. Oh,

you like video games. Oh, so if you don't like being judged, maybe you shouldn't be judgey either.

Because it's one of the things that have always gotten to me like people. And again, I'm not

downing any art form. You like what you like. And the fact that it's been around for a long time,

testifies to its staying power. There's no question. That's not what I'm getting to. What I'm

getting to is that it's not nice when someone snipes at you. So don't snipe down at a down.

I say that in ear quotes. You know, like, oh, you just like action movies. Yeah, I like action

movies. So what? You like ballet? That's great. I'm happy for you. Don't talk down to me because I

don't like what you don't like. Or I don't like what you do. And I think there's a lot of that

back and forth when it comes to art and entertainment, where my kinds are more special than your kinds.

Yeah, I think you're right. I also think it's maybe just an indicator of how much we like to fight

and how much we like to get mad because I guarantee you not every post I saw was coming from a

lover of the opera or the ballet. You know, it was just kind of an excuse to be like,

oh, he said something. Oh, I could get in there and I could say something to him. And also,

look, I work in radio up until about a year ago, I worked in AM radio. Yeah.

People make snarky comments all the time. That's a real thing. If I were to like,

rent my clothes and start crying every time someone made a snarky comment, like,

it's just not worth it. You just go, like, okay, man, yeah, I get it. It's not for you. And you

move on with your day. And you work on the thing that you're passionate about. And that should

be good enough. I don't need everyone to get what I'm doing and to agree that it's the most

cutting edge thing in the world. If you're a person that enjoys the the arts that that

Chalamet was referring to there. So ballet opera, you could throw in symphony orchestra as like

the similar, you're like, in terms of how long they've been around and, you know, the staying

power of those art forms, they're similar to me. If you're a person that loves those and you don't

judge anybody else, we're not talking about you. Right. But you know the people that I'm talking

about. The people that were like ours are refined and special in yours are just so stupid.

And if you don't like someone on this side of the aisle firing off shots, maybe rethink that

attitude. And again, for people that aren't doing those things, we're not talking about you.

You're normal. We love you.

All right. It's Monday on DGS. Dave is out. He is down in Jupiter hanging with his buddies.

He went down with Michael Kelly and he's been hanging with Ricky Horton and Mike Claiborne and

the guys. And yeah, you know, I'm always jealous when someone goes to Jupiter and I'm not getting

to go to Jupiter. But I'm glad he's down there having fun played around a golf today. And

according to him, went better than he thought it would. Our buddy, Bernie McLeese is joining us.

Bernie, anything you'd like us to send off today as a message while he's down there and joining

the floor to son? Well, you know, whether it's coincidence or not, I believe in a, you know,

higher power, of course. He goes down there and at Roger Dean's stadium today, you know,

JJ Weatherhold and Joshua Baez are wrecking the plate. Just hit four, you know, between them.

And by the way, all of these things were evenly distributed, right? Yeah.

The two of them in that win over the Orioles today combined for four two homers, four hits,

four runs batted in, two runs scored. I, you know, I, I'm kind of looking forward to watching

them together. I don't know that they'll be together in 2026 and St. Louis. But if you want to

get a glimpse of the future, I mean, these two dudes are really exciting. Yeah. Let's start with

Weatherhold, because the weather holds the opening day second basement. I mean, there's, he's,

he's done well enough, I think, to this point, Bernie, given his track record, his minor league,

right? Like, there's the battles over. He's won it. He homeworked again today. So he's showing

power and it's not easy to hit for power in spring training. Well, no, especially in that ballpark.

Right. Yeah. It's easy in Arizona. It's not so easy down in Florida. Yeah.

No, listen, Weatherhold can hit for power if he gets a pitch to drive. You know, he's just not

going to try to pull everything out of the yard on his bullside on some pitch that's low and

outside. Yeah. He's got the discipline to know which pitches he can punish and which pitches he

can put in play, maybe get a base hit. So really good. And you know, the bias thing, I heard

Hayden, behind Bloom talking to Tom Ackerman yesterday. Listen, I don't think anybody, I don't

think anybody expects realistically expect there's even a chance that he'll be with the team to

start the season. And I understand why. Yeah. But boy, this thing kind of wets your appetite,

though, to see what he's been doing. And his talent is legitimate. I mean, this is, this is a

guy. This is a dude. And I think he'll go down to Memphis. I predicted a few weeks ago and

something I wrote. I predicted, we'll, we'll see by as after the all star break, maybe sooner if

they trade Lars Newport. But, but just to think about them together for a long time, pretty exciting.

Yeah. And look, we've been talking a lot about Weatherhold. So I think there's a lot more known

about him. Right. He's one of the top. I know, depending on which service you're looking at,

he's somewhere between three and eight. Like he's definitely one of the elite prospects in the

game. Certainly one of the two or three best pure hitting prospects in the game. Maybe Kevin

McGonagall is there a guy like Connor Griffin's a little bit more of a toolsy guy than just a pure

hitter, but crazy power and speed. But he's in that group of guys. We haven't, and for our listeners

that are, you know, maybe not as hardcore sports fans, being here on DGS as they would be listening

to us on rush hour sports burn. Let's talk a couple of minutes about bias because before last year,

he was struggling to kind of get through. You know, he was just typically young guy things.

A lot of swinging miss wasn't making enough contact missing a lot of time with injuries for a

couple of years. And then this past season stayed relatively healthy had a big breakout year with

20 home runs and 54 stolen bases. And I'll tell you, only 117 games. So that tells you that,

you know, if you're in 20 home runs and 117, if you add 20 or 30 to that, we're looking at a 20

35 home or got 25 30 home or guy and a big athlete who checks all of the scouting boxes.

And the biggest part of his story because it links two things together. I mean, he's got

an immense amount of natural talent with his strength, his power, his speed, and a rocket arm.

He's got a great outfield arm. But part two of this connection is that maybe some Cardinals fans

got tired of hearing Wheeler, Nicholas, Pauli, Ackerman, Derek Gold, whomever talking about

how important it was to have a dramatically improved enhanced player development system that

can make a huge difference with their prospects. Their prospects were not getting the help that

needed to become their best type of player. So it's like, well, you guys are all talking about this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Bias got off to a terrible start in 2025. Swinging miss, swinging miss,

strikeout strikeout strikeout. He was all messed up in the batter's box. So Larry Day in Rob

Sirfolio and just so people know the reference. Larry Day is the farm director. Sirfolio is the

the director of player development. So what did they do? They say, well, you know, well, you know,

just, you know, look for your pitch. Look for your pitch. You know, no, they took advantage of

the new technology that the Cardinals now have for their prospects. They literally took Bias out

of the lineup for about a week. They wanted a reprogram him and they took him inside and they had,

they put him in the batter's box. He was taking his swings. They were recording everything.

There were sensors. They got it from every angle. They realized that his motion inside the

batter's box was working against him being a good hitter because he was too busy. He was, he was

moving all over the place. He wasn't in sync. And he, he couldn't reach pit certain pitches.

So they completely changed it. Seeing technological evidence, they changed his stance. They made him

more upright. They got, they slowed him down. They got him to the point where his hands were

even quicker than they were before. But he could reach every type of pitch. And with, and with that

came a lot of confidence. So for all the skeptics that are wondering, well,

this wasn't about you guys keep talking player to Val. And this was about the Cardinals wanting to

save money or whatever. No, actually, you're going to be excited about Joshua Bias sometime soon.

He is the number one example, the first example of a difference. These guys can make it in the

trajectory of a really promising franchise. He was the first test case. Yeah. And look at what's

happening. It's a great, it's a great place to start. And we'll see him this year. As you point

it out, it won't be opening day. They're going to give other guys looks that are already set to go.

But he, I'd be shocked if we don't see him this year, whether it's the result of a new trade or

maybe a guy like Walker or even a guy like Victor Scott, if those guys are struggling, I don't think

they're still on scholarship. And a guy like Bias can easily do that because he played mostly

center field last year. And as you noted, for a big guy at six three, two, twenty, he can run.

Yeah. And I'll be brief this time because I went a long time in a previous answer.

The thing with the thing of it is he, one of the reasons time blooms not going to rush him to

the majors, he legitimately believes Bias could use some time at triple A. And I think it's smart.

And I especially think it's smart because we all know what happened at Jordan Walker when the

previous regime decided to ignore the warning science. They just ignored it because they were all

caught up in the narrative. They wanted to introduce their new star. They rushed Jordan Walker to

the major leagues from double A. Never taught him how to play right field. Never, never did anything

major to correct his swing to get him to stop hitting so many ground balls. And they're just,

they're not going to do that same type of stupid thing with a kid like Josh Vias.

Right. So that's why this is why the regime change is such a big deal potentially.

Totally agree. Other thing from today, Bern, I know there was a split squad game.

Only one was televised and it was the one that was played at Roger Dean. The one we're talking about

where whether holding Bias were in the lineup. But another start from Matthew Libertor,

five solid innings, seven strikeouts. And again, I don't care about the numbers in spring.

What's better is talking about traits and characteristics and pitch usages. And it seems like

at least today. And again, we don't know if this is going to last or if it was just a today thing

because this is what he was working on. But a few less in terms of percentage use on the fastball.

In particular, the sinker and the forcing fastball a little more slider. Obviously the curve and

change up have been elite now really for a couple of years. But he's a guy that is capable of

another step. And I think and Matt Paulie and I talked about this last week. I think Bernie

got a find of fastball that works because all of his fastballs got hit last year.

Well, that's why they're trying to perfect his change up. And I think they got him throwing

a splitter. So they're trying to get people off the fastball. So again, they intervened and made

some helpful recommendations. He's got really good stuff. And I was talking to Will Leach today.

We were doing a new seeing red podcast. And I said the thing about Libertor that impresses me

everything that I've seen this spring. He's really confident now. It's like he knows he realizes,

okay, it's my time. I know what I have to be. I'm not a kid anymore. Let's go. I get it. I know

what my role is. I know what I have to do. He is mentally. He is primed. We're last year. I think

he had some doubt because he was a starter in the big leagues for the first time.

Right. And I think, I mean, look about it. This is literally the first spring. He's known

what his job is coming in. You know, last year he had to earn it. Last year,

he didn't know if it was bullpen if it was going to be rotation. He knows who he is. He's the

opening day starter. He's going to be the guy that's going to take the ball on whatever March 26th.

Right. So I listen, I've been really impressed by the starting pictures, the six guys,

they'll be in the rotation. I'm really impressed as a group what they've done so far. I mean,

now, yeah, is there a little bit of a hazard in basing everything on ERA? Yeah, of course. It's

spring training. That's not the point. You know, you can see that just about every one of those

guys is throwing harder, the velocities up. They all came in a camp with a new pitch or a reshaped

pitch or some kind of change in their arsenal. So they all made off season adjustments and they

came to the party with more to offer. So this isn't like the same guys just out there doing what

they did last year. These are the same guys, the same human beings, but they came back modified

because they're doing several things different. And that's, that's the big deal there. Absolutely.

And, and Bern weekend talked more about the bullpen later in the week, but just a quick thought on

it. It's not so much because of today, but you know, you look at the guys that followed

liberator today. It was sponsor Fernandez, Roy Croft and Soriano, all of them between 95 and 100

miles an hour regularly. Soriano was sitting 98 basically all of his outing today. And those guys

combined with seven strikeouts and four innings. Now again, spring training, second half of the

game, we know a lot of times you're starting to see more and more guys that are not regular big

leagueers, especially for a team that traveled, you know, teams don't travel their whole big league

roster, usually only bring three or four guys that are true big leagueers on these road trips

in in Florida, but still power arms that can miss bats. And we haven't even, that doesn't even count

static who didn't pitch today, but has pitched well since since he arrived. Listen, I have, I have

access to a kind of, I don't know what the, I don't know what to call it because I don't want to

get into any trouble, but it's kind of a proprietary system that shows me stuff, stuff, you know,

a guy has great stuff or he doesn't or he's average. The Cardinals this spring, they have a bunch of

guys who, who score very, very well in the stuff ranking, stuff meaning how good are your pitches?

That's basically what it means. They have a bunch of guys that are that look like stars on those

charts. And that's a big change. It isn't just the Velo, it's the movement. Right. It's, it's also the

the variety of pitches that they're throwing. And yeah, the velocity, the Cardinals are finally up

to speed. I mean, people like us and other towns talking baseball, they've been talking about,

but you know, a bunch of guys throw 98 for 10 years. Yeah. You know, the, you know, the Cardinals,

it's like, oh, what is this 98 stuff? It's like it's a whole new world here in St. Louis because

the Cardinals, the Cardinals were so stuck in the past with their pitching approach. Yeah, no doubt,

no doubt. All right. Well, we'll talk more about all of this tonight. It'll be you and me on Redbird

Rush Hour in the five o'clock hour today. But before we get to anything further, why don't you tell

us about Saliga and we'll check in with you later on today. Yep. Good being with the wheel.

That's what they got. DDS. This is flying by, man. Yeah, whether with Dave Murray at 330, Tom

Akram is going to join us at 4 o'clock. We'll talk a bit about the happenings down in Jupiter.

So a little more baseball and then Bernie and I will do that again from five until six tonight

on Redbird Rush Hour. Rachel, do you have fun facts? I do have some fun facts for you. Let's start with

Miami. Wheels knows all about Miami. Let's go. Did you know that Miami is the only major American

city that was founded by a woman? I did not know that. And yesterday was International Women's Day.

All right. Can't wait to see what you guys got for me. What was her name? Oh, I don't know.

This is Miami. I don't even say I'm the fun fact sheet. Her name is Ami. And she's like, this is my Ami.

Notice how you deflected as soon as we started talking about my upcoming gift.

Well, the thing is it fell on a... Did you hear something? It fell on a Saturday this year.

So Sunday. Sunday this year. I didn't think, you know, I didn't think we knew.

It's like when Christmas. It's like when Christmas is on a weekend. You don't have to do presents.

Right. Exactly. Okay. There was a daylight saving time poll. 64% of Americans want to stop

shifting the clocks twice a year. Only 16% want to keep doing what we're doing. 21% still

aren't sure. But the survey also found that one in seven Americans usually forget it's coming

and get caught by surprise. I totally forgot it was coming this weekend. It didn't matter because I

had nothing going on Sunday. But so I go to sleep most nights, headphones on listening to my music.

And yes, my music, the really loud metal stuff. I fall asleep to him. Sorry. He just calms me.

I had it on. And a lot of times I will fall asleep while it's still playing. And then it either

turns off or sometimes if I haven't turned off the, what do you call it? What's it called when it

continues to auto play once it reaches the end of a playlist, shuffle the shot. And whatever it is,

it continues to repeat. Yeah, the repeat. I woke up. So I went to bed. I was like 130 something

like that when I went to bed, put the headphones on turn on the music. And then I woke up at 340.

And the music was still going. And I'm like, did I just sleep for two hours with the music? I

like turns out no, it was less than an hour because the clock had changed. And that was where I had

a moment where I was like, what is happening? And I didn't clock it at that time. I didn't figure

it out until I actually woke up and saw that the clock on the stove was different than the clock on

my phone. I got to say having Dave Murray on the show helps me. He does remind us that like saving

situation. I like, I like when they do the polls. And it's, you say like, you know, well, 35% aren't

sure. I just think it's very funny to take the time to answer a poll, but still be like, you know,

yeah, should we, should we stick, should we stick to what it is now like what it is when we have

the summertime where it's a lot, it's late, it's lighter later. I like that. Should that be year round?

I personally like that, but it's weird. I was thinking this morning like, I don't know if I'm

ready for spring. Is that a crazy thing to say? Yes. I guess it is.

Hmm. Don't need any more of that nonsense for the winter.

You're keep coming and they don't stop coming.

No!

The bottom side of the fight, I'm being free to say it just isn't going to tell you what it is.

How can you say it?

I've just been working for it, I could not think.

Everybody, pay it on hand.

It's Monday on TGS. Dave is out for the weekends down at Jupiter, enjoying.

Well, we have sunshine, I mean, he's probably not enjoying that anymore than we are,

but he isn't enjoying Cardinal Spring training baseball. He's enjoying golf with the boys. He

went golf with Ricky Horton and John Tudor as a part of a forceum today. We've got pictures up.

If you go to the DGS Facebook page, you can see a few pictures of Dave. One out with the boys

having a four and a half hour dinner, another one on the golf course, another one from the broadcast

booth. So that basically that's all I picture Dave doing is those three things in sleeping,

golfing, watching baseball eating and sleeping.

Sounds fun.

And if you were to put like what Matt Polly just went through down there, like what he did or what

I used to do when I went down there, take out the golfing and the other part is all you do.

You eat, you sleep and you do baseball stuff. That's really all you do.

Oh, I guess is Matt Polly back for rush hours?

No, he's not back. He's going to take a couple days off, but he's back home now. He came back

over the weekend and we'll be back in Wednesday. He's so freaking lazy. Yeah, I know that guy.

He just worked like 16 hour days from month.

I haven't even seen him in like a month and a half. He hasn't even been to work in a month

and a half. He hadn't been here in a long time. I was just texting with him a few minutes

ago though. Is he back? Is he back in town? Oh, yeah, yeah. He came back this weekend and the trade

off I think was officially on Saturday. Tom got down there Saturday. I think Matt left Saturday night,

maybe Sunday. He has a story he can tell us when he's back about his flight.

Yeah, I like the idea that they have to like tag like in and out when they get down there,

like they have to like high five on the way out. Listen, make it official. When we do spring

training, we do spring training. That means one of our people is there every day from the start

of spring training until until they pack up and head north and now it's Tom until we pack up

and head and head north. And then when we look at by the way, the story Matt out, this is a tease

because I'm going to let Matt tell it, but apparently on his first flight on the leg back,

somebody lost it. Like lost it. I lost their marbles on the flag and had to be removed from the

flight, which led to some delays. I'll let Matt tell the full story, but it did not sound very

entertaining to me. Man, he didn't get the flight direct back home. I don't know. I guess, I guess

not because he had to sprint to his second. Yeah, well, you know how it is, you know, when

businesses are going to book the flights. I remember a couple. I'm like, wait a minute. I got to

go to Dallas on the way to Miami. That's not in the way to Miami. What the hell? Uh, that's where he

goes. There he goes, but glad to have Matt back in town. He's taken a couple days. He'll be back with

us on Wednesday doing normal business. We have Dave Murray at the bottom of the hour. We've got,

we got a bubbly Tom Akerman coming up at four o'clock. We get some more of the latest

from down in Jupiter. Why don't we do a little happy hour? What do you guys want to do? Who wants to go

first? I can go first. I have a couple of things here. Uh, first thing. Is there anything more

annoying than when a restaurant doesn't put the prices on their menu? Yes, that online menu. Sorry,

no, there's nothing more annoying than it. So I'm looking at a restaurant right now. It's not like a

I know it's not a crazy expensive place. Right. But they're not putting the prices up and I'm like,

what do we do? Why do you even have the menu up then? It's disqualifying to me. Like I'm not

destitute, right? But I don't have an abundance of money. And I like to, yeah, what do I expect to

spend tonight? Right. I like to go out to eat. And I did the way that I afford that is that I

spend wisely when I do that. And you make it impossible when I go to your website and I don't

see the prices. And it just makes me go, you know what? I'll go somewhere else. I'll go somewhere

that this is my business. So I understand, too, like some places will probably say, well, our

prices can change because of the prices. That's fine. Just put on the online menu, prices subject to

change based on current market or something like that. Yeah. Or put that your lobster is market

price or whatever. Yeah. I'm not ordering that anyway. Right. Well, but some things, I mean,

like, look, the way things have gone, like with the meat prices at times, they can change in just

a couple of weeks. And instead of 1050, maybe this dinner is now $12. You know, I mean, like,

it can be a small change. And it's okay. Just put that on the menu online. Just put it in there

and say prices could be different when you arrive at the restaurant. But it gives you a baseline.

Because you know, it's not going to go from like a $13 to a $28 meal, right? Yeah. Right.

I agree with you, Rich. We got to have them that we got to put the numbers on there, even if you

got to put the caveat that they might change. And since it's happy hour, here's another topic for

you. Scientists in Japan have created an onion that does not make your eyes water when you're

chopping it. And they call it the smile ball of the what? The smile ball. I guess because the

opposite of crying is smiling. I would say so. American market. It's going under the name Goldies,

which is a huge mama. I would like to purchase the smile ball. Are these available now?

I guess so. I mean, I guess they're coming to the American market because they're calling them

calling them Goldies. Is it that big of a problem? I mean, I've chopped onions. I've never really

had that big of a problem. It's never been a huge problem for me. I think I've cried maybe once or

twice chopping onions. I'm chopping a lot of onions. I will say there are some folks like they're

going to cry every time. Yeah, I cry every time. I guess everybody kind of like allergies, I guess

a little bit different for everybody. But I was like a real bummer life. So it's hard to

establish what I'm actually crying about. Well, the bigger problem is that I my stupid but will

I every time I'm like better better white my eye real quick. No, the hand that I just

been wise up here your eye and you're just like, yeah, I'm taking a handful of onion slices and

this will soak up the tears. It's great. So it actually like that's what I would rather get rid

of. I'll cry as much as they want me to cry. As long as you get rid of the, I don't know,

whatever they call it in the onion that makes you that burns the hell out of your eyes.

Now here's the thing that I called stingy stuff. Stingy stuff. Well, I was going to say like

capacin, but that's like peppers and stuff. I don't think that's onions. It releases an enzyme

that creates a gas which reacts with the natural moisture of the eye to form a mild sulfur acid.

Then you start crying to flush the irritant out. Oh, that's cool. But my question for the

smile balls, I mean, are these yellow onions or these red onions? Are they the gross white onions?

Yeah, I mean, like I don't know what kind of onion we're dealing with. And you can't, I mean,

I guess you can interchange a lot of onions and recipes, but you're you're playing with fire

in that case. There are times when only a red onion will do. Are there are there differences

between red, yellow and white in terms of cryy stuff that I do not know. I do know there's

one more difference in taste is one more tear inducing than another. I am not sure what's wrong

with the white onion. I just kind of a lot. Is that not just the normal onion? Yeah, yeah,

I mean, again, they're fine. I'm not a big fan of like big pieces of onions and things. I don't

mind it. I also chopped up real small like in a salsa or in a pasta sauce. It's fine. Okay,

but I like onion rings. No, I like to like to eat the dough with the breading off it. Yes,

I like to do the thing you do when you're six years old, where you peel the breading off. And then

I and then I do this and I whip the onion at my wife who will eat the onion part and like

sedans. There's nothing better than the crust of an onion ring, but I ain't eating that onion.

The crow. Oh, the bread is so because it's just got like that little bit of onion flavor on

there. See, I like onion flavor. I don't like to eating the onion. I see you. So if it's

chopped up small enough, it's fine. If it's a big chunk, I gotta get it out of there. I don't like it.

Too much. Interesting. Too much. I feel like the other ones are milder. I work with two grown

men who eat the crust off of the onion ring. And it's not like a thing where it's like,

oh, I have to eat an onion ring. I will order like the blooming onion and I will just I will

just eat the crust and then yeah. Wife gets all the onion. Yeah. That's pretty good. I know what

a happy wife she becomes. When she gets what I would call onion rings without the good part.

Andrew. Yeah. Yeah. Got anything? Oh, um, probably.

Kind of thinking that would take us up to the I got stuff. No, no, no, we're all good. We're all

good. We're all good. Uh, you guys. So have you guys seen? Have you guys heard of Kai

Trump before? Yeah. She's the granddaughter. She is Donald Trump's granddaughter. She's Donald

Trump Jr's oldest. It's Trump's first grand kid. She's she's 18. I had never heard of her. Never

considered her existence, but she really stepped it in today and upset a whole lot of people on

social media because she posted a video about taking her secret service to go to a place

that I don't I don't think we have any around here, but they're very popular. Yeah, very

popular out in like Los Angeles called Arawan, which is a place where it's like a super fancy

grocery store. Uh, and you can, um, uh, they're famous for their smoothies, which are often like

attached to celebrities in some way and they're like $25 for a cheese smoothie. Yeah. And, uh,

people are just, you know, I kind of feels a little bit like they're taking out some aggression

towards someone else. That a lot of people are feeling right now. And maybe she is, uh,

taking the brunt of some of that aggression, perhaps unfairly. Like, yeah, sure, it's tone

deaf to like be like, I'm going to I'm going shopping at the super expensive place and I'm going

to inconvenience everybody because my secret service has to come with me and yada yada yada.

I give her one bit of grace and it's because she's 18. Well, she doesn't know any different.

So I'm saying when you're young, you do, you don't necessarily, you don't necessarily consider

what your actions symbolize to other people. Yeah. And her, she was 30. I would judge much harder.

And her grandpa became president when she was seven years old. Right. You know what I mean? Like,

she doesn't know any different in life. I do get why people get irritated by that because,

you know, there's only here. But then again, at the same time, you know, we get mad like we know,

oh, look at the rich people rubbing it in our faces. Now the worst part about all of that is that

it's taxpayer money that's going to secret service. Again, I don't have a problem with family

members having it. It's just it's the look. They're going to shop at the most expensive place I

can shop and your talk tax dollars are funding my shopping trip or at least the protection for it.

I get why people have a distaste for that. But I think that's a minor thing. I think families

are all getting that when they're when they're that close to being the family of the when you're

in the family of the president, you're all the moder is given her like a two million dollar name

image license deal thing for what? Like golf. Oh, she's a golfer. That's right. And she is a yeah,

seemingly based on what I saw looking up, she's not a very good golfer. I mean, you got to be

pretty good to play in college, man. What if what if the secret service says you have to play?

Yeah, I don't think it really works. But now again, they they know that, you know, I mean,

most schools know that when you're bringing someone in like that for an NIL deal, you're not coming

in necessarily to win a tennis championship. Well, yeah. Well, yeah, golf championship. Like,

that's not really a big priority for the school, but that presence will generate buzz and that

buzz is what the school likes, which is why the NIL money comes in for a person like that. It had

the twins that played basketball at Miami, the Cavendor twins that are really big on social media.

Apparently, I don't I don't know much about it other than their identical twins. They were

college basketball players and they were big on social media. They were brought in same idea.

It's not like they're going to win a national championship for you, but their presence raises the

profile of your school amongst the age group that colleges are targeting. Does that disappoint you

to see your alma mater doing that? It would if that was the only school doing it, but everybody kind

of plays the same game. Okay. So I mean, is what it is. And and to be honest, those those people that

are coming in are certainly generating more than they're getting. You know, it's kind of a free

advertising thing for the school, right? That's kind of why they do sports. Because if you think

about the exposure that all these big schools get from having football, basketball and all that

other stuff, well, these these people that we're talking about, we don't have to be it doesn't have

to be Kai Trump. It can be anybody with a really strong Instagram, Twitter, you know, TikTok

following is you're bringing eyeballs and you're bringing attention to that school and you can't

purchase that for the amount of money that it costs to bring that person in

All right, it's Monday on DGS. Dave is out the rest of the crew. All of us to work here.

She's got a question from go to sleep on the stream. He says, uh, what kind of candy bar we

rolling with today, we'll say it's not a candy bar, brother. Oh, go to sleep.

He's just going to eat candy with no protein in it. No, it's a protein. Now the routine is pretty

simple lunch, whatever that happens to be, but it's usually my stuff that I brought from home,

like my, uh, the Mexican chili that I make. I make it. I usually make almost every week and not

quite. And then it's just lunch for the whole week. Uh, but then it's that. And then I

some kind of protein shake, uh, at two o'clock. And then in the three o'clock here is a protein bar

and then I'll eat dinner. I just eat every couple hours. I wish I had your discipline, man. Really?

When it comes to like, I'm, uh, the meal prepping and stuff. Yeah, I mean, that part just,

it's so much about convenience, man. Like I, yes, I was telling Rachel earlier yesterday was a cook

day. So yesterday I made the Mexican chili, which takes maybe a half an hour, but you're not

doing something the whole time. You just brown the meat, throwing the crap, and then you'll

sit for a little bit. Like it's that easy. It's that easy. But then, uh, I put, I think I, I think we

did, like, I think I did like five pounds of chicken breast in a, in a crock pot. You just throw it

in there with some broth. And that's it. And it cooks for five hours. Boom, done shredded chicken

for the rest of the week. Don't even have to do anything. You just throw it in there. You don't

have to, you don't have to watch it, stir it, do anything with it. You just throw it in there.

I needed it. So we got to get Kevin to cook your show on YouTube to do what? Yeah, I can,

yeah, here's the way you describe cooking. But the whole point is I do it for simplicity,

not for taste. Like it's like, all right, now my stuff is, my work is done for the week.

I don't have to think about lunch the rest of the week. It's there. So it's not so much about

like how good can this be. It's how simple can it be and how much can I make a lot of without a

lot of effort? I enjoy meal prepping as well. It's just sometimes I like sabotaging myself by

not. Yeah. Like I'll be like, I could pack a lunch or I could just figure it out. There's always

the E-Mart. Yeah. You guys haven't done many E-Mart lately though. No, I'm trying to think,

I mean, I haven't had one of those E-Mart cheeseburgers. And well, since it made me sick,

I took a break after that made me feel bad. I'm good for a once a week pizza. I mean, I am,

I am such a big fan of leftovers. Like it's my favorite thing in the world that anything I can

make, I want to double the recipe because then I can have more, more down the road. I mean,

it's just, I don't know, it's just fun to look at the fridge and go, oh boy, I got choices.

As opposed to, man, what am I going to do? It's disability. Yeah, maybe that, but I don't know.

I almost view it as a way around my day to day laziness because I don't want to like make a sandwich.

So I want it pre-made so I could just scoop it in a bowl and go to work.

Oh, have you guys heard of this Jeff Daniel sandwich? The Jeff Daniel sandwich. Yeah.

You've seen this, Andrew? No, but I'm curious. Okay. So this is a new viral sandwich that's

Jeff Daniels is going on and on about. It's a soft pita bread filled with peanut butter,

crushed cheddar and sour cream, ruffles, potato chips, and a drizzle of barbecue sauce.

Why? He describes it as sweet, savory, and crunchy, a combination of his favorite tastes.

Okay. You know, if you want to do the, if you want to do crunchy with peanut butter,

you could just get the crunchy peanut butter. I'm glad to know that he is also in the seven-year-old

club. Yeah. Well, yeah, that's like a rich sauce on that. I will never grow out of it. Good to know.

I think this is the case of one of those like, hey, he made it once with the things that he's had

and it tasted good to him. And that's great. But I don't know if this is going to become like the next

classic sandwich. You know, I feel like everyone has weird food combinations where it's like,

it's okay to me. But then to expect that to somehow break into the mainstream, I don't see it

happening with this one. Yeah. Yeah. Elvis couldn't do it with the peanut butter banana.

And that's more normal like sour cream and cheddar chips with peanut butter and barbecue sauce

sounds awful. It's a weird mix of flavors to meet the pita bread throws it off. Oh, I need anything.

Oh, I was just going to say I feel the same. Yeah, I don't need anything on pita bread.

Yeah, I don't want peanut butter with pita bread. Oh, I bet it's good. I haven't tried it,

but I bet it's good. Purely savoury only. Hmm. That one I would try though.

Well, when we come back, we're all trying the Jeff Daniels viral sandwich.

I did just on a Monday. It is a no Dave Monday, no Dave Glover, no Dave Murray, Dave Glover's

down in Jupiter. We do though as it as as opportunity would have it. We do have Dave's live

look for the weather forecast for today in the early part of the week. We do and it's brought to you

by the Celigia heating and cooling weather desk. Guys could not be live with you today, but boy,

it has been a classic springtime day. And there's one more day of this on the way.

Kind of nice this evening, especially with that sunset, not going until a little bit after seven

o'clock, 61 for the overnight low. It's really quite delightful for this time of year Tuesday. Do

it again, sunny, windy and warm now 82 for the high 85 is the record from 1955. So we're making a

run at it. I do think Tuesday during the day is going to be dry, but there's a cold front on the

way that front's going to take its time. It's a really slow mover. So cloudy skies Tuesday night,

rain and thunderstorms developing from west to east. It's going to take its time, but they are on

the way. There'll be some storms, though, not for everybody that are strong to severe. 52 will do

it for the low Wednesday gusty winds dropping temperatures rain and thunderstorms focused on

the morning. Now 67 is the high on Wednesday, but by late in the day, we're down to 48 degrees.

Kind of cold Wednesday night 34 and Thursday, cool, but sunny and 56. Now as far as strong to

severe weather, the focus will be 7 pm tonight to 7 am on Wednesday. That is the window of opportunity

as everything kind of moves from west to east on one of stress. Not everybody's going to see

severe weather, but we do need to pay attention. The main focus if you get under a severe storm will

be hail up to quarter size winds of 60 to 70 miles per hour intense dangerous lightning. Everybody's

going to see some very heavy downpours of rain that could lead to a little bit of flash flooding

on the small streams and creeks and some flooding on the roadways. And there is a potential for

some tornadic activity. It's hard to say exactly when and where, but we really have to keep a focus

on the weather as we go through the overnight Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning. I'll keep

you up to date, be with you live tomorrow. All right. All righty. By the way, Mitch says,

Mitch says Dave, you should be on the show full time for the next week so that there's still a

Dave on the show. And he said, no, not Dave Murray. Yeah, sorry, Mitch. Sorry, we'll check in with

that Dave tomorrow. Big Dave, our Dave, Dave Lover, he won't be back till next week. Just

everybody knows he's sunning himself and playing golf and going to baseball games and eating good food.

That's a good time. Seven to guys trip, which is always a good thing. What do some headlines, Rich?

I would headwinds is brought to you by Schnucks reward yourself daily with the Schnucks rewards app.

Maybe you've heard that Uber has a woman only option where you can get a female Uber driver.

I think this is really only open to women and to teenagers. I don't really see the value of

giving men the option to only have a female Uber driver. But now it's gone nationwide.

So it allows both women writers and drivers across the US to be matched with other women

for trips. This pilot program was aimed at addressing concerns about the safety of its platform.

We were just talking recently about all of the horrible things that can happen in an Uber.

And then yeah, it's expanded to teens too. So I'm assuming if you have like a 14-year-old boy

or something and you just feel a little more comfortable with them riding with a woman, that is an

option too. Now it's not guaranteed, but it does give you the option to say like, hey, this is what

I prefer. Please try to match me here. Okay. Did you see all this flooding in Australia wheels?

I saw a little bit of it in the news, yeah. It is crazy and they're northern territory and

there are crocodiles absolutely everywhere. Yeah. So people are being warned, like please do not

swim in the flood water. No, it's the people who live there, I'm sure know this, but like when you

when you're in northern Australia, you don't go in the water if you don't know for sure,

because there are salties everywhere. The saltwater crocodiles are they're in the ocean,

they are upstream, they are everywhere and they will eat you. Salties. They can exceed. So they

call them. I like it. Yeah. They can exceed 20 feet in a way, a ton. They are bigons. The northern

territory is home to more than 100,000 of those crocodiles. I saw a video. Just the other day,

I saw a TikTok of this. There's a guy who's like paddle boarding on a body of water in Queensland,

which is where we're talking about. Queensland Australia. And there are guys on the dock and they're

like mate. There's salties right there. There's three of them right there. The guy's like, I'm fine.

And they're like, no, you're not. One guy's like, don't get mad when it eats you. Yeah.

You wanted this. Australia is not a place to play around with. If you are out in the wilderness,

you need to be very aware of everything because everything wants to kill you.

I'm sure you guys saw yesterday a threat scare shut down the Kansas City airport for several

hours. I saw came Lex's Maria Kena tweeting about it in real time. There was an abrupt evacuation

Sunday after authorities got word of a possible device in the terminal and nearby parking garage.

There was a huge police response. The Kansas City Aviation Department said that the airport police

assisted by the FBI cleared parts of the terminal as a precaution. Inbound flights were held

on taxis. Taxiways away from the gates and travelers were told to immediately evacuate.

They didn't go into detail about the original report, but eventually the all clear was given,

but travelers are urged to continue reporting anything suspicious.

Can't be too safe at the airport, I suppose. I guess even with all of the security stuff in place.

Pokemon has rebuked the White House's use of its intellectual property in a social media post.

Pokemon company International said it didn't grant permission to the White House to post

social media contents that contained imagery associated with their new Polkapedia

game. This is a life simulation game that was launched on Thursday and the White House posted,

you know, something very similar in its make America great again in Polkapedia's signature font.

They say we were not involved in its creation or distribution and no permission was granted

for the use of our intellectual property. Our mission is to bring the world together

and that mission is not affiliated with any political viewpoint or agenda.

Nintendo is sort of in general going to war with the Trump administration. They've also sued them

over tariffs. So I didn't bring this up earlier. I thought about it, but now this story is the

perfect segue for it. These like memes that the why the meme videos the White House are putting

out there about the war are ridiculously childish. What are we doing? Why are we memeifying a

military action overseas where our not not not only our servicemen and women are in grave danger.

What are we now the seven seven dead soldiers so far, which is not a huge number, but it's still

seven families without their family member, right? And the White House is making it seem like it's a

sport. They're like mixing in movies with music and sports clips and Pokemon. What are we doing?

Can we not act like grown-ups? This is a serious thing and this is where serious people act like

serious people and do it. Does anybody like that? Does anybody see those videos and go, oh yeah,

give me more of that. Because if you do, there's something wrong with you. War is not for celebrating.

It's not for thumping your chest. It's a thing you don't want to do, but you do if you think that

there's a concern that could lead to future deaths, right, or bigger deaths, or a larger number of

them. We all know wars always existed. But why are we memeifying it now? Why are we turning it into

like some kind of celebratory chest thumping nonsense? I agree with you wheels. Unfortunately,

the people who need to hear that I don't think are interested in the message at all. And in fact,

the point is to upset honest, decent people. I think that is the point.

But what's served by doing that? I mean, like, what is being achieved? I don't want to be trolled

by the White House. I don't care if there are trolls online. But people that are serious people

shouldn't be trolling the people they work for. And the people in the White House work for us.

We don't let them know that. We don't fire them off and enough. We don't do anything about

anything. So maybe that's a tacit permission slip to just do this kind of nonsense.

But it's I mean, come on, grow up. Stop with the memes. I don't know if you got some 18-year-old

creating all as your social media manager for the White House account. But at some point,

are there no grownups there that understand that this is serious? Do we have to jokify and

meamify everything, including the White House? I mean, you want to know why people get mad. And

then they'll be like, well, see you got your man. Yeah, because you're an idiot.

Yeah, they want you to be mad. It's okay to be mad when someone's being stupid.

Right. Like, who's going to catch it? No, you didn't. You're just being a jerk. And if you want

to piss people off, being a jerk is an easy way to do it. Just like pissing them off is really

easy to do too. All you got to do is mention any negative thing. It's like, uh, TDS, TDS.

So why are we all worried about triggering each other? Just stop triggering each other. Be normal.

Just be normal. Why is that hard? I mean,

Hagceth is such a try hard chat. It's frustrating. Like, bro,

you're not that. You're a guy. Okay. You're a guy. And there are a lot of people that could do that

job who have way more qualifications, but their qualification that they were missing is they don't

kiss enough ass. That's the qualification they were all missing. How does it feel to have a job

just just because you will kiss, but I don't, I don't understand. I don't understand why we're

all, I don't know. I don't get the victory in it. I don't get what you think is being achieved

by just being an irritant. Yeah. Yeah. It is, it is incredibly frustrating. And you do,

you do wonder what the point of it is. I think the point, I think it is simple. I think it is

we want to upset people because we can and we think it's funny and we can get away with it.

And here's what pisses me off about it most is none of those people would ever do that stuff

face to face without security around them. Like, you're Tommy tough guy, but what would you do if it

was just you and the person you're trying to piss off standing in a room? And if it was a parent

of one of those soldiers who just got killed, how would you react then would you be in your face?

Or would you be a little more demiric because you might get punched in the face?

All right. So last segment following the weather, we did headlines. We did the, you know,

quote unquote regular news. Let's get to the real news with the fast food news range. Yeah,

we didn't get to this on Friday and there's so many great fast food stories that we must cover.

First of all, Chick-fil-A is debuting a new jalapeno ranch club chicken sandwich nationwide.

Hmm. Hmm. I'll stick with the old school. You don't want the jalapeno ranch. Not really.

Okay. I mean, it doesn't sound gross or anything, but I mean, to me, the regular is just so good.

It has candied bacon on it. Oh, I trust them. I'll be, I'll be eating that.

Yeah. Well, the one thing that they did that was kind of like off the main streak lately was it

like a few months ago. They had the pretzel one. Oh, yeah, that was good. That damn thing was

amazing. That was amazing. Um, Domino's has their best deal ever featuring 999 pizzas on any

crust with any toppings. So I guess the mediums. Um, let's see here pizza on any crust with any

toppings. It excludes specialty and extra large. Okay. It's a large pizza. Yeah. And the only

other thing is the Parmesan stuffed crust is an additional charge, but 10 bucks. That's not

bad. Yeah. That's great. Jimmy John's is introducing a new Greek Euro chicken Euro and Greek cucumber

salad. I don't know if this is what I want from Jimmy John's necessarily. Not at all. But I

appreciate that they're branching out. You know, I trust them more than I trust some of the other

sandwich places to pull that off. I suppose you're right. Jimmy John just has their French bread is

so strong. It's so good. Yeah. I never get anything other than that French bread. I'm with you

Andrew. Yeah. Not interested in like a wrap based thing at Jimmy John's. And Burger King is

adding a new frozen strawberries and cream beverage. That's not really my kind of thing either,

but I know like smoothie, I guess. Yeah. Like a almost like a dirty soda or like a drink

drink from Starbucks. I don't like the real the real creamy drinks like that, but I know they are

extremely popular. Oh, so good luck to you, Burger King. One last thing before we have to go

to break Taco Bell is introducing introducing a chocolate fudge and caramel empanada. So I saw

this online the other day. You get one chocolate fudge and one caramel empanada. Oh, so they're

not together. It's too separate. Yeah. It's separate. They look quite interesting. Yeah. All right.

TGS here on a Monday, but no Dave. You're just tuning in.

Dave will be back on Monday. He's down in Jupiter doing the Jupiter thing, which

is pretty great, man. We've seen if you want to see a couple of photos, feel free

to check out the Facebook page, the DGS Facebook page. Dave has sent us a few photos. One of him

in the broadcast booth with Claves and Ricky and other one with the boys all out for dinner.

Today it was out on the golf course. Dave has a collar on his shirt. It's crazy.

I didn't recognize him. Like, who's that guy? Like, oh my gosh, it's Dave Glover.

Well, one of the people he's been hanging out with is our own Tom Ackerman, who I think I hear

on the down the line stream. Tommy Ackerman, how are you, buddy? I'm doing great. You want me to

tell you where Dave is? We can track him down for it, if you want. We can do a Dave tracker segment.

Yeah, we can do a Dave tracker. I'll be seeing Dave in about an hour or so. We're going to go

have dinner. Dave's live in the life. Dave's down here in Jupiter, Florida. Just live in. It's

pretty nice to see. Tom, I know you guys all took the same flight down there on Saturday. How did that

go? I went great. I thought it was a great flight. Everything was good. I told Dave today. I said,

I'm going to make you this promise. If they start asking me to tell stories about the trip,

I will not do it. I said, I'm going to save it. I know that your first segment out of the gate

when you come back in studio is going to be a rundown of your trip. But he's doing great. He's

having a great time. We had a good flight down, saw him at the airport and ever since then we've

just been smiling and having a nice time. Kevin knows he's been down here. He's training is

really great. For us, there's a lot of work involved covering the team, but you just kind of

brush it off. It doesn't feel like a grind necessarily. When you're down here in Florida,

you see friends and you get to spend time around the team. A game like we witnessed today,

which was just pure fun. They're hitting all runs. People are trying to look good. Pitching was

good. It was one of those days where you just enjoy and you realize baseball is fun. This team

had a good day today. All right, Tom. So I have only one question about the off the field stuff

with all the boys on the boys trip. And that's it. It's just one question. I'll go as far as I can.

Yeah, one question because we were kicking this around earlier. You all went out without

the dinner for about four and a half hours the other night. So it was you and it was John Hancock,

Michael Kelly, Dave Glover, look like Claves was there and Ricky Horton as well.

Four and a half hours. That's what I was told. That's what I was told. There was a long dinner

of all the group there and close the place down. All I want to know is, did you guys do splitsies

or did somebody pick up the tab? I'm gonna let Dave answer that question. After talking to my legal

representation. Yeah, let me let me consult with Dave. He's my attorney in Florida.

Yeah, no, it was it was I'll just say this. It was a great night. It was really a great night.

Good. I especially enjoyed seeing John Hancock with just a big smile on his face. You know,

he had just celebrated a birthday and Claves said it best. You know, it's just nice to be around

people that you enjoy spending time with. That's one of the really great things about spring

training is that very thing. There's a lot of times that you don't get to spend this much time

with the players or as close to the players on a daily basis and watch baseball as close to

as you can. But when you step back and think about it, it is one of those times where every turn

here at Jupiter, you run into somebody. Yeah. It's, you know, a sponsor or a friend or a family

you haven't seen in a while or an usher that you used to see at the ballpark or in that case,

you know, your own co-workers all sitting around together. Pretty cool stuff. Yeah, that's great.

That's great. Let's get to today. You mentioned we talked about it a bit with Bernie earlier,

but Bernie wasn't down there. You are a good day for JJ Weatherholt who left the yard again. He's

had an amazing spring. I was listening to you in high bloom yesterday on sports on a Sunday

morning. A lot of good stuff about these young guys, but specifically about Joshua Baez when

you guys talked yesterday, he had another big day today with his third home run. He did and he was

just optioned to Memphis. We kind of knew that was coming. Yeah, you knew that was coming and just

so people understand that, you know, this was going to happen. The Cardinals were not going to go

down the same road that they went down with Jordan Walker. They were not going to have him

rush into the major leagues. They need to make sure inheim's words that he completes the journey.

He wanted to make sure that he stopped every step of the way during the minor leagues and had a

great experience. And he was outstanding last year. I mean, he tore up AA. Yeah. He's a really good

player. He's got power and speed crushed a home run today. I mean, at one point, Chris Tuno,

who was doing the announcements in the press box, said estimated distance of the home run,

whatever it was, 418 feet, which we believe is the end of the property.

And that was down the left field line. That is an absolute bomb. I mean, that was like, you know,

for 80 feet past the foul pole. You know, I saw a couple guys hit him out there like that in the

past when I was down there and their names were Marcelo Zuna and Giancarlo Stanton.

Yeah. I saw David freeze one time. Yeah. There was like a dumpster out there in left

where they parked an ambulance. Yeah. And he hit one in the dumpster. And I said to him, as

we're walking to the clubhouse, I said, dude, that went in the dumpster and he goes, he shrugged

to go amateur hack. So, you know, it was, it's fun down here when you hit home runs and do all

that stuff. And I'm sure Joshua Baez feels pretty good today. Even though he was option, he knew

that was coming. And the best thing for him is to get all the epats he possibly can in the minor

leagues. And then when called upon, believe me, he's going to come up and he's going to be special.

But he needs to go through the ups and downs. The other guy who hit two home runs today was chase

Davis. Yeah. Who has really struggled. You know, he was the first round pick of this team back

in 23. Yeah. Last year, he only hit 10 home runs all year. Yeah. And struck out 146 times. And so

both players have kind of been products of this system where the Cardinals are trying to teach

these young players a new way of thinking, a new way of hitting, working with the technology.

And what the hope was that that carried over, especially for Baez, who had so much success. Yeah.

Through the winter and into this spring and it has. And now Davis, maybe that unlocks something

because he wasn't all that great leading up to this two home run day for him. So it's a good

day for him. JJ Weatherold, who's been great ever since from day one uniform. Yeah, he had a

home run today. Yeah, he's just been solid. He's doing nothing, but just confirming he's the

starter. And certainly looks like he's going to hit the top three in the order. Just there's no

there's no reason not to do it the way he's been going. All right. Let's use the Baez thing.

Now I'm going to call you Matt. Thomas as a jumping off point for something that Bernie and I are

going to talk about on rush hour sports next hour. Because there are a lot of good things

happening, especially on the pitching side. Bullpen's been really good. All the guys you're hoping

to look good have looked good. Your starters have done a pretty good job. Libertor is really

good today. I think 16 swings and misses. I think it was in five innings of work. That's

phenomenal. Now again, we all know the context because you're facing a lot of guys that aren't big

leaders, especially a traveling team coming to your place. But there's also some stuff down there

that's pretty concerning. And using the Baez conversation, we knew he was going to go down that

he's got some things to work on. But I'll say this if Victor Scott and Jordan Walker don't start

to figure some things out. He may be up sooner than we think because those guys haven't shown

that much of their offseason work is paying dividends. And I know stats aren't that big of a deal

in spring training. I'm the first one to tell everybody that. But when you clearly have been working

on trying to do certain things and you're not seeing those things, that's a concern.

It is. Now Jordan Walker is going to play regardless. So he's going to play and he's going to see

a lot of time. Well, at least at first. But I mean, yeah, at first, but not forever.

Yeah. You know, he's going to this is the year where he's got to show off a little bit more.

They played Houston today. The other split squad. He had a hit. I think that was about that.

I think he had one hit down there in West Palm. But he doesn't have an extra base hit yet.

And that's no, he doesn't. And that's facing a lot of minor league pitching. Yeah, he was one for

four and he struck out three times. Oh my god. Two 17. So you know, it's not good. And now it's

again, it's March night. So you got to let him work through spring training. Absolutely.

He's watching the same things happen over and over and over again. Then yeah, they will have

people ready to go. I think your candidates in the short term are Nelson Velasquez who started and

right field yesterday. He's got some major power that they want to see on a consistent base.

They think he's got some big power. The other one though is Nathan Church. Nathan Church is

legitimately in a time would not confirm this completely. But I was a good question.

And he he looked at me like, you know, like he was choosing his words. And I said, am I wrong

about this? That that center field is a competition right now. And Nathan Church is in it. And he

said, you're not wrong about that. But that doesn't mean we're giving up on Vic. But he basically said

Nathan Church, he didn't put them on the team. Right. But he pretty much said that that that

church is going to be in this outfield mix in some way. Nathan Church has power and he has a

rocket arm and he can run the defensive ability. He can run. He's got all the tools that you need.

So one of these guys is going to get passed by Nathan Church. I think Bias probably takes a little

more time to get some seasoning. He needs more at bats. Church has had more minor league at bats

than Bias has had. And then, you know, beyond that, you're looking at left field,

CJC for mean. And Bias started out there today. As I said, he's in the other game. Yeah. I mean,

so he was in left with for mean and center, which tells me they're trying to get him used to left

field. Isn't that something? Because I said to time yesterday, I said, I noticed the church

hasn't played and left yet. Yeah. So does that mean he's in this center field?

So churchy, as they call him, ended up in left today. I think that it's does bear watching here

over the next two weeks, what this outfield is going to look like. I think that this is the year.

We've I feel like we've been talking about them forever, but this is the year for Jordan Walker

and Nolan Garmin to show what they can do. I remember a few years ago, it was such a big deal

that Jordan Walker could possibly make this team. Remember how big of a story? Oh my god. Yeah.

It was the story of spring. I mean, I remember being in Port St. Lucie up in the press box.

And somehow it leaked out. There was a transaction that showed up. And it looked as if if you

connected the dots, the Jordan Walker had just made the team. So we were reaching out to Don Mosello

about it. And I asked him, can I have some time with you? I mean, if Jordan Walker just made

the team, I think you and I need to talk and do an interview. So he called me downstairs after he

talked to the writers and he had me down for an interview and talked about the whole thing.

It was a huge deal. I remember Mason Wynn was down there and was supportive. He was not going

to make the team. And Walker was. And Walker, I just remember how big that was. I don't think

we're going to be going through that now. I think that you're going to see this is about veteran

players and a few others who have gotten experience. But man, I'm telling you, the day that you get

bias and Ren Yellow Rodriguez and some of these other cars, it's going to be a fun lineup if

they stay healthy and if they stay on this track. Yeah. I was looking at it, Tom. I mean,

obviously in large new bars, not going to be ready for the start of the year. But he sounds like

it's going to be fairly early in the year. You know, I mean, it's like he's not in games or

doing stuff now. It'd be hard to believe he's going to be ready for opening day. But

that leads me to my prediction on opening day with right hander Drew Rasmussen pitching for Tampa.

I think your left field is going to be Nathan Church. I think it's going to be church Scott and

Walker to start off with. And then a couple of those guys like Sajace and Firmin providing right

handed bat depth for anybody that needs it, but in particular for church and Scott being the left

handed hitters. Yeah, I agree with you. I think that is the likely scenario. And you know, I don't

see any other way. I think that's what's going to happen. It's a pretty good outfield. By the way,

defensively, if church is in left and Scott's in center, you're going to cover a lot of ground

between those two guys. Church is a very, very good defensive player. We already know

Vic is elite, but churches are really good defensive player. I think that that could very well

happen. I think that you still have to, I just, you know, I have like all these memories of us

saying, my gosh, Dylan Carlson is the greatest spring of all time. He had this amazing spring

and then right before the season starts in Mesa, they're playing the Cubs in that exhibition

game and he and Jordan get crossed up and suddenly disaster strikes. So yeah, let's just wait

that they need to make sure that they get some depth in case, but the outfield shouldn't be too

bad defensively and they are seeing some signs of progress in Jordan Walker playing defensively

out and right. But as you said, he's here to hit. I mean, this guy is supposed to be the elite

campus prospect and at some point, it's got to click. No doubt about it. All right, buddy,

have a good dinner with Dave and the guys. Look forward to talking to you again tomorrow and in the

meantime, I am very jealous of all of you. Dude, we'd love to have you back down here. Get on a flight.

Let's go. Oh, I wish, man. I wish. Maybe next year, we'll talk about it. All right, buddy,

we'll talk to you tomorrow. All right. See you later, guys.

She's a good girl. Love is a marble. Love's Jesus.

Segment here is we continue on on a Monday on DGS. Dave is down in Florida. Be back next week.

The three of us going to hold things down in the meantime. So we talk a lot about the effects of

social media, particularly on kids, but on all of ourselves, right? I mean, Dave talks about

the negative impacts that he feels from it. You do the same rage. Andrew does. I don't feel

as much of the negative impacts, but mostly because I just put it down and then I don't miss it,

but you know, but I'm on it all the time. So, you know, I mean, I can't say that I'm not exposed

to everything, but apparently the British government did a review and they found no evidence of

causal effect when studying social media usage and problems that kids and teens are having,

whether it's anxiety or things along those lines. So they're saying they're not saying there's no

impact, right? They're saying it's not the cause or at least there's no evidence that it is the

cause based on the review that they just did. And the reason that came up is Great Britain is thinking

about doing something along the lines of what Australia did, which is banning people from being

on social media. I think under the age of 16. Yes, that what it is. Yes. And they're thinking about

doing the same thing and critics are saying, well, wait a minute, if the government did a review

and they're not seeing that this is causing anything, then is it necessary to do that?

And I think it's an interesting question. Now, I think it should be up to parents personally,

but we have age limits for all kinds of things. So it's not inconsistent and is anybody really harmed

if they're not on there when they're 14? Yeah, that's that's the big question. It's like, okay,

maybe it's not causing direct harm, but also what good is it doing? I think that's a

interesting question. And even if it only enhances something that's already there,

that's still a problem. Yes, yes.
