Chapter 1: What are the latest updates on Munataka Murakami's performance?
You know, Governor, we got baseball tomorrow. Munataka Murakami is going to be in the lineup on Friday. That's what Will Venable said for the Sox.
Well, I'm glad to hear it.
We want lots of moonshots. That was the only thing that we accomplished today. We found a home run call for Munataka Murakami. I would like again to say thank you to Ray Diaz, Tyler Buterbaugh, Brandon Fryer for helping us out as well.
Chapter 2: Who are the notable guests featured in this episode?
Cotter O'Donnell, Jacob Stucks, Max Curtis, Adam Hogue for coming on, Governor Pat Quinn for coming on, Alan Robinson. What are you guys giggling about over there?
If you're looking on Twitch or YouTube, an interloper has swung by the table out here in Mesa and is demanding the attention. Like, all of us are interested in talking, but John Boog Shambi is demanding to be recognized. Hello.
I also want to thank Luis Medina from Bleacher Nation for coming on. He had a really good article regarding Jeff King. Yeah, Matt, you've changed. You somehow resemble John Boog Shambi, our own Boogsman.
Gotten more handsome.
Hi, Boog. Yes. Hi, you guys. How are you?
It's good to see you. What's going on? Boog, what's the weather? Let's get right to it. What's the weather right now?
It's nice. It's warm and in the sun. It's perfect. And, yeah, it's delightful. Oh, it's been really nice in Chicago, too.
Yeah, we've had a good run over the last couple days. It's a good run. And it's coming to an end, but that's all right. Baseball on the score will be back, and that's a good thing. What's the first impressions of you being at camp?
Um, I watched some live BP. I enjoyed watching guys challenge. I like them tapping and challenging. And I would say my early scouting report, am I, is he here? I think Tommy Hottaby was actively trying to cheat for the pitchers.

Chapter 3: What is John Boog Shambi's role in this conversation?
That's what I would say. Really? Yeah, because I feel like every single challenge the batters won. So that's, that's, that's what I would say.
Wow. That is something to note. I don't know that that actually ever happens.
No, I don't think. But, hey, there's Craig Council.
It's Craig Council. There's everybody. It's unbelievable. Look, Boog just came over and he sat down to say hello. And so I threw a headset on his head. But we can get back to doing what we do. I see that guy now. Bye, Boog. Bye, Boog.
Wait, we didn't even ask him what kicks he had on. You know Boog's got an elite shoe collection.
They're really nice. Can I show them, John?
Tell people what they are.
Shoe cam. What are you wearing?
Jordan low ones. Just some blue and black. There it is. Blue on black.

Chapter 4: How does the weather impact the team's training experiences?
See you, buddy.
It's like a midnight blue, right?
No socks because it's Arizona and the sun is out.
Yeah, but it's actually not that warm there. It's fine, but it's not what it was a couple weeks ago. Not at all.
He looks like he's in the shade, so you look like you're going to get cold if you stay there.
It was like 12 degrees in our studio today. The heater stopped working. Again?
I am in the shade. I'm sorry that it's so cold in the studio. It's a little cold here, but whatever. I have never talked more bears at Cubs camp with Cubs people than today, man. What are they saying, Speaks? What are they saying? Yeah. Every conversation has led back to, hey, are they really doing that? Is that really happening? Are they really going there?
And I'm like, I was asking you about the infield defense, sir, Justin Steele. I was asking you about that. One player said, yeah, what's going on with that? I said, I think it might just be a game. And the player said, I think they're bad at those games, aren't they?

Chapter 5: What are the first impressions from spring training camp?
I was like, that's pretty funny.
Easy for you guys. Easy for you at your self-financed ballpark up the street.
Oh, that is so true, Layla. A part of this thing that people continue to forget is that there are going to be a lot of people going, wait, what? You gave money to who? Why?
The Cubs, for the record, the Cubs did spend on their real estate. They did not involve you all in any of this mess. We can talk about what we want about the roster and all of that. They're two separate situations, but they are the example in this. Now they're spending a lot of money on the team. Look at that.
Yep, they are.
They can, and I think they will.
Well, unless there's a salary cap, then they won't. And then, of course, there's going to be a work stoppage for a little while.
No, we're not doing that today. But there's going to be a work stoppage.
Speaks is outside. He's working right now. We're cherishing this.

Chapter 6: How are the Cubs and Bears connected in this discussion?
There's also a split squad game.
I don't like the networks doing that, though. Like the networks whose whole thing is, hey, we're the network where you can see all the games.
When they're on.
Right. Have all the games is all I'm asking.
They are airing the split squad game against the Brewers, according to this, it would appear as well.
Yeah, because that one is the Camelback Ranch.
It's the Camelback Ranch split side of that matchup.
Back to you, Marshall.
Back in the day, they'd just be like, we'll take the visitor feed. We don't care. And guess what? Fans don't care either.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the Cubs' spending on their roster?
He's now placed the mic flag on his head. It's my signage. It's the only signage I got. I can say now with assurance that engineers and producers are overrated. I set up this entire thing. I brought this stuff my own self on the airplane.
I wouldn't say that too loud because if something goes wrong, you're definitely going to need one of those people to help you.
I wouldn't say it so loud because the people that you were talking about control whether or not people hear you on the radio.
Matt, you're a musician. You know that the second you start criticizing a sound person, what happens? You go to sing and your mic isn't open.
But Laila, this reminds me of so many gigs like in the 90s and the early aughts when I would bring my own sound system and I'd have to set it up and then go sing and then tear it down. Like millions of musicians out there. You know, it's like, I know how to do it. We all know how to do it if we need to.
Yeah, if we have to do it, we can do it. It's always preferred that a professional do it. Like tomorrow you'll have Walt and Walt gets stuff done.
I could not fix the heater today, guys. I'm sorry.
I needed a guide for that. It's pretty pleasant in here now. I had to call somebody else. It's nice now. I couldn't do it myself. You're not Four Seasons. You're Layla Rahimi. You're not out here like, hey, I fix AC and heating units. That's not your thing.
But that's my point. The engineers are not overrated.
