What changes are being considered for MLB All-Star voting?
Cheers to the freaking weekend.
Cheers to the weekend, indeed. And before we get into the weekend, we want to thank our guests that were part of this Friday show. Mike Florio, Vinny Rotino, Ryan Spielberg, and Texas head basketball coach, Sean Miller. Thanks to Ray Diaz. Thanks to Tyler Buterbaugh, grant leader, helping us out today as well. Cody Westerlund. Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, Max Curtis, all helping us. And our transition is brought to you by Tor Coatings, high-performance coatings for your home or business. TorCoatings.com. And we head over to Kenosha, and that is where we connect at the Brat Stop with Spiegel and Holmes. Hi, guys.
Hey, what's happening? Layla, Marshall, Marshmello, all of you that are there.
Yeah, thanks to everybody who voted on our poll, too. Lawrence, you are a connoisseur of a sweet treat. What say you, s'mores or Rice Krispie treats?
Man, really good. You made mention of our friend Maggie Hendricks earlier today, and she once pulled off some Rice Krispie Treats that had like a dash of cinnamon to them. I feel like s'mores, there's too much that can go wrong.
So I'm going to go Rice Krispie Treats. Lawrence, Maggie Hendricks Rice Krispie Treats, they also feature brown butter, which I mentioned in my description.
That's what I... That's what I was, yes, the brown butter and the cinnamon, and yeah. So I'm going to go specifically Maggie Hendricks, and this is really just a call for us to ask Maggie to come bring cookies to the station.
I think, Marshall, when you mentioned the possibility of brown butter and some salt in the Rice Krispie Treats, I had to pull over during my.
If you've ever had a salted chocolate chip cookie, you know what I'm talking about.
Of course. And any sort of salted caramel treat. When the whole world went salted caramel, I think 2019 is when the whole world went salted caramel. I'm old enough to remember when the whole world went ranch. When Cool Ranch Doritos took over.
I mean, that's a thing now that a lot of people that have come in for World Cup are discovering. People around the world are like, wait, what is this thing that you guys have here in America?
I feel like in American culture, every once in a while, a flavor profile just crosses over and passes from snack to snack to snack.
Well, the Europeans actually have real regulations on their food, so some of the stuff that is offered in America, you could never find there because it would be illegal there.
And that's why I'm proud to be an American, Marshall, let me tell you.
Because at least you know you're free. At least. So, look, that was my second favorite part of that conversation about the Krispy Treats and the s'mores.
How do voter trends affect All-Star selections?
Layla, you shrieking out portion control also made me... Also made me have to pull over. I was one of the four people that you said would get the reference. Oh, portion control. Yes. Oh, my goodness.
Is that possible to be a Tributosaurus song any time soon? We've done it.
We've done it.
No.
On Prince Night, we've done it. And the drummer, Dan Leali, leans into the falsetto on that. We set up a microphone just for that so he can be the dude who shrieks that. Did you interview the doctor? Yes, yes, you're right. The doctor from the revolution because he went to high school with Mark Trestman. He was in a band with Mark Trestman, the doctor from the revolution. I haven't heard any of that. That's crazy. So, yeah, Trestman's band, we desperately tried. He couldn't find the demos from the Mark Trestman band.
I haven't heard any of that. I didn't hear all of it. I heard a lot about most of it, but what I did hear, I did not hear any of that.
That's not AI, people. That is not AI. That is a football coach of the Bears.
Layla, you'll get a kick out of this. Like, while we're here at Broad Stop, There clearly is some sort of baseball tournament that is happening.
Some kind of baseball tournament.
So we looked and we just saw like a table of baseball players. And they're what? The Canes?
I believe the Canes from the Illinois 15 and under. Are you guys the scout team?
