Show notes

Mike is still foggy from Saturday’s auction, where margaritas, a second helping, and Scooby-Doo turned the after-party into a memory-free success. Josh mourns as the Orioles send Adley Rutschman to the Red Sox, while Mike enjoys Boston’s sudden ability to buy happiness. Mike visits Linda on the road to recovery, reviews the hospital ambiance and medical scrubs, and reminds everyone that a widow-maker blockage can hide behind feeling perfectly fine. Robb raids Grocery Outlet for mystery batteries, suspicious meat, chocolate pies, and Cuetara Animalitos—the bargain animal cookies that finally make bilingual snacking feel dangerous. Finally, Josh becomes an Uber driver, The Odyssey gets frozen out for excessive whispering, and zip ties, guacamole, and a vintage hot-dog commercial close the show in high style.

[SPEAKER_07]: I used to, I used to be able to work hard, play hard, and now I don't know what's wrong with me.

[SPEAKER_07]: Two days, it takes me to recover from our festive cocktail party auction on Saturday.

[SPEAKER_07]: You would have loved me.

[SPEAKER_06]: You would have loved me after the show ended.

[SPEAKER_06]: By the time that that second coming kicked in all,

[SPEAKER_07]: Well, we saw the evidence, we saw the evidence of it kicking in.

[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, but really, I mean, like just watching Scooby-Doo cartoons and laughing my head off.

[SPEAKER_07]: That's great.

[SPEAKER_06]: It was great, it was great, but I thought, you know what I mean, I think so, yeah.

[SPEAKER_07]: You were, you were, you know, you were kind of...

[SPEAKER_07]: testy at the beginning your defensive and then you ate the other half.

[SPEAKER_07]: Did you take a half is that what it was?

[SPEAKER_06]: I think a total of two sixes.

[SPEAKER_06]: So it turned out to be 12 total.

[SPEAKER_06]: You, uh, which is quite, that's a hefty dose right there, my friends.

[SPEAKER_07]: You were, you were, uh, lively as I texted you after the, uh, auction, I, you were making me laugh out loud, uh, towards the, uh, because I, we even were laughing after the auction when we, uh, we're going over who bid for two and, uh, you know, Josh and I, with our lovely, uh, female dates and then we're off with the dude.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, with the dude, it, it, it, it, it, it, it.

[SPEAKER_06]: I, and you know, it's funny to mubber a mubber.

[SPEAKER_06]: I remember making you laugh, but I couldn't come up with a single thing I said, not in the final hour of the show.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, so my apologies if it was embarrassing, but I think we had a good time.

[SPEAKER_06]: It was great.

[SPEAKER_07]: Before we get to the auction, we have Breaking Sports News right now in the world of baseball as the trading deadline.

[SPEAKER_07]: I believe 6pm this evening.

[SPEAKER_07]: Approaches about three hours away as we tape this program and the Red Sox have acquired one of the finest catchers in Major League Baseball and I am here to say they have acquired him from the Baltimore Orioles.

[SPEAKER_04]: Do you want to go to the auction?

[SPEAKER_04]: I've got a jersey for sale.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh dear, that's a problem.

[SPEAKER_07]: You are not as the Orioles' faithful are not.

[SPEAKER_07]: You are not happy about this deal.

[SPEAKER_04]: This guy is one of my favorite players.

[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, that sucks.

[SPEAKER_04]: And I feel for you.

[SPEAKER_06]: Well, you're one step closer to becoming a Red Sox fan.

[SPEAKER_06]: Well, you're one step closer to becoming a Red Sox fan. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, before the Orioles' favorite player is there now. [SPEAKER_04]: The order was to this before, but you don't do it in division, and the trade it to the red socks who were fighting for a wild card spot with in division and a rival is really annoying. [SPEAKER_04]: All right, let me ask you this question. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: Do you allow that? [SPEAKER_04]: What we got? [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you did? [SPEAKER_04]: Who they get? [SPEAKER_04]: Anthony Iensen. [SPEAKER_04]: Who one of your top pitch and prospects? [SPEAKER_04]: All right, anybody else? [SPEAKER_04]: That's the only name that came out so far. [SPEAKER_04]: That's come hoping there's a little more. [SPEAKER_07]: All right. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, so this guy, what's his name again? [SPEAKER_07]: Aubrey Ellen, what is it? [SPEAKER_07]: Adly. [SPEAKER_07]: Adly. [SPEAKER_07]: Adly, Rutchman. [SPEAKER_07]: Adly, Rutchman, an interesting name. [SPEAKER_06]: Adly, Rutchman sounds like, sounds like something from like, wordle that you messed up. [SPEAKER_06]: Adly. [SPEAKER_06]: Or could it be Adly, like, Adly Stevenson? [SPEAKER_07]: And that would be Adelaide, Adelaide Stevenson for Stevenson. [SPEAKER_07]: No, I think that sometimes when I first move down to Virginia, and I play with these guys with names like Hooper, Stephenson, and the Southern thing, I don't know about Southern naming, but I think some of these [SPEAKER_07]: Southern people, uh, give the rule is they give their kids a first name that is the last name of the grandmothers. [SPEAKER_07]: Maybe it's weird stuff like well, you've been in for when you were a whole lot when you were playing hockey. [SPEAKER_06]: Didn't you used to miss the hoop. [SPEAKER_06]: Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, who [SPEAKER_07]: It's just something that I noticed. [SPEAKER_07]: And when I asked a guy, he said, it's my grandmother's maiden name, and it was just a weird thing and then said what they're doing. [SPEAKER_07]: They do it in the south. [SPEAKER_07]: If anybody in the comments knows what I'm talking about, I am completely out of it regarding that. [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know why, but I know they do something like that. [SPEAKER_06]: I know that I went to school with a guy. [SPEAKER_06]: His name was Clam, and he spelled it with a K. I don't know, but that must be a Southern thing. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, there. [SPEAKER_07]: Uh, welcome. [SPEAKER_07]: All right, so this was my father's hobby, uh, Ruchman goes to the red socks for a pitching prospect. [SPEAKER_07]: There's got to be more involved in that. [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know, I hope I hope so. [SPEAKER_04]: I hope it's not one for one. [SPEAKER_04]: I did see a comparison with Adley and your catcher. [SPEAKER_04]: and Adley was improved in like 27 of the 30 categories. [SPEAKER_07]: They were challenged at that position. [SPEAKER_07]: We have a kind of a backup wheel that's going with our catches. [SPEAKER_07]: They're so the baseball season. [SPEAKER_07]: This is on the heels, a double dose of good deals for the red facts on the heels of sweeping your Los Angeles Dodgers, which was pretty amazing. [SPEAKER_04]: Amazing. [SPEAKER_04]: Because someone's going to have to beat the Dodgers to win it all. [SPEAKER_04]: I agree. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: he's so happy he'd look at his face he's not happy I don't feel good I guess I'm maturing I don't I think 30 years ago I would have been going man and and I don't feel that I know I don't have the receiving end of that I think before the auction you might have been then and then and that but I think the luginess is preventing any then and then because the red socks are not that much better than the Orioles [SPEAKER_04]: I, it's pretty close. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, now they are now. [SPEAKER_04]: They are. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes. [SPEAKER_04]: The A-Le, there was no need for the Orioles to trade. [SPEAKER_04]: It makes no sense that the Red Sox would be buyers and the Orioles be sellers. [SPEAKER_07]: I would like to point one thing out that is the big giant question mark in the room. [SPEAKER_07]: And that is that this player for Ruchman for the Orioles is on the injured list right now. [SPEAKER_07]: Yes. [SPEAKER_07]: So claim [SPEAKER_07]: and inflamed wrist and you never know what the real deal is. [SPEAKER_07]: I know you did. [SPEAKER_07]: You're constantly working it out and glad that's come around, although it's still sore most of the time, right? [SPEAKER_06]: It is, and my vision is really bad. [SPEAKER_07]: very, very difficult as UH. [SPEAKER_07]: I have to say that with the red socks, luck factor, and by the way, reversing the curse on all that, yes, we've had great baseball teams since the curse was reverse, but there is still the fan base that says, [SPEAKER_07]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_07]: Why that good a guy being sent by one of your big, big rivals? [SPEAKER_07]: Why was that? [SPEAKER_07]: So I think be careful. [SPEAKER_07]: Be very careful. [SPEAKER_06]: It's something crooked for a foot and the way you explain it. [SPEAKER_07]: Well, they always try to get over on people. [SPEAKER_04]: That's what they try to do. [SPEAKER_04]: I just have to assume our GM is going to work for the Red Soxist offseason. [SPEAKER_07]: It's kind of a, you know, if he really stays hurt, you know, but I think they did the medical evaluation past that they do that by the way, so they send a guy down. [SPEAKER_07]: They send something down and the x-rays up to their doctor to look at. [SPEAKER_06]: I know he has to get their 15 minutes before the appointment to fill up. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, or else can you get Carlos Naviaz? [SPEAKER_07]: uh... you get the right hand a picture ampani and a simple power stuff right handed uh... you're so you got a major league catcher and uh... and our vases not a bad catcher at all and uh... okay so i think the rest of them are prospects so uh... all be prospecting everybody's given you the drawing of the the orals second trade and it's a bit of a thing the uh... stop now what if we're talking i would [SPEAKER_04]: Adley Watchman was the face of our rebuild. [SPEAKER_04]: He was the one pick by Michael Lies. [SPEAKER_04]: The number one draft pick over all on baseball. [SPEAKER_04]: He was the face of turning this team around. [SPEAKER_04]: And now they're just giving up and being like, oh, they didn't work. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: That's just something. [SPEAKER_06]: This is going to be a spirited episode of a section three, three, six this week. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's all you got for the tomorrow. [SPEAKER_07]: Are you recording it tomorrow? [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I mean, we might need to bump it up till tonight, but I think it's tomorrow morning we're scheduled. [SPEAKER_07]: Uh, yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Well, now, now, hold on, uh, true, the, uh, true BS, uh, Josh, it's okay. [SPEAKER_07]: They're at sex always choke. [SPEAKER_07]: No, they don't. [SPEAKER_07]: No, they don't. [SPEAKER_07]: They really don't. [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, I'm not going to go so far as to say that they always show, because they don't. [SPEAKER_07]: They won World Series Championship. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: But in the past year, you've gotten John Harrell ball from me. [SPEAKER_04]: And now you're getting Adley Ruchman from me. [SPEAKER_04]: I know, I know. [SPEAKER_04]: It's, uh, I'm just hoping to know it's funny that he takes it to the level. [SPEAKER_04]: And that was the first time it's taken it from me. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh yeah, the team is th
