What are the initial thoughts on the White Sox's recent moves?
I'm hoping that it ticks him off and maybe he'll play better angry. Check USA Today tomorrow, him and my mom will be going at it in the nursing home.
On the court. On the court. You took off the court? In Appleton. It's an important note.
Ray Diaz, new sneaky sneakerson. Thanks to Ray. Thanks to Tyler Biederbaugh. Sean Sears for helping out. Connor O'Donnell. Jacob Stutz. Max Curtis. Everybody who hung out with us on all of the platforms. The Twitch mob, YouTube, the text line. We had some interesting texts today. Danny Perkins, thanks for him to join. Thanks to him for joining us. Thanks to Joe DiMeo, too, from SNY. Mark Grody for helping out as well from the hall. This was one of those days where we had a lot of hands on deck.
A lot of hands on deck. A lot of people learned a lot of things, but not quite enough. That's how I like to look at it, Layla, because I'm still wondering, hey, DJ, yo, that's my DJ. What happened on that play for you? And I guess the world will never know. It's like a Tootsie Roll pop. How many looks does it take to get to the center?
That was a Lil' Kim song, as I recall.
It sure was. Different types of...
Drew Hilsinger.
Cisco.
Thong song.
The Cisco musical catalog. I think we just did it.
That might be worth looking back at. Matt Spiegel, Lawrence Holmes are the other two voices you hear. Gentlemen, hello.
How do the hosts feel about the White Sox's roster construction?
Cynthia Erivo did a breakdown of the end of the thong song.
She did.
Because she was like, why? It's amazing. She's correct on that, too. She's like, why are there key changes at the end of this thing? It's unnecessary is what she said.
But wasn't that also a Drew Hill thing, too? Like, wouldn't Cisco just go off in random Drew Hill songs?
And that's why he became a solo artist. And that's also why people for a period of time thought that his name was Drew Hill.
Cynthia Erivo is a crazy, talented, multifaceted performer who, like, she was on that show The Outsider on HBO with Jason Bateman, which was a really good, like, dark... um short run series with no accent i think that's the first time i saw her she also used to be like she's wavy now but she used to be like yes ripped she she's ripped and and like and totally americanized and then i'm like what you talk like that huh i don't know it's always wild like uh i was thinking of christian bale like his i was like wait you don't talk american What?
That's just a thing you do? Ben Johnson talks American.
Am I right?
He talks very American. I don't think he talks Sling Blade either. I do laugh at Billy Bob Thornton. I can't tell if it's... He just has generic southern accent.
Give me some french fried potatoes. I like them french fried potatoes.
I'm glad to hear that Sling Blade accent was a thing in not just my local sports talk station at the time, but yours.
Oh, yeah. It's fun to do.
It's fun to do. It's like doing the Westwood One guy. It's fun to kind of drift into that occasionally, see if your voice can actually handle it.
Mike and I, I've tried. Ruben hipped me to the Mongolian throat singers on Spotify. That sounded like... It's like the vocal melodic version of the Sling Blade thing. I like them red fried potatoes. It's the same deal.
Has anybody asked Billy Bob Thornton where the inspiration for the voice came from? Because a lot of times they will. You know how Keith Richards was supposedly the inspiration for Jack Sparrow?
Yes. Yes.
I wonder if that was the case. Yeah, I don't know.
If he met someone and he was like, oh, or he thought, hey, let me put this and this together and it'll end up being this voice. That would be very cool.
That's how I think about the White Sox roster construction. this and this together.
I love when one of us tries to gently segue it back to sports after idiocy. It's usually me. No, it was me a couple minutes ago. It just happens every once in a while. Might want to get some outfielders. They're going to get some outfielders. That's what Chris Getz told me. But they're... They're not going to win a lot of games this year. I don't know. Maybe you guys take a step forward. But you're not trying to build a surprise 90-win team this year, are you?
