Transcription

Chapter 1: What are the latest updates on Munataka Murakami's performance?

1.364 - 8.058 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

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.

0

8.399 - 9.662 Leila Rahimi

Well, I'm glad to hear it.

0

10.003 - 29.947 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

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.

30.368 - 41.749 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

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?

0

42.083 - 58.687 Matt Spiegel

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.

0

59.668 - 70.363 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

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.

0

70.443 - 71.685 Laurence Holmes

Gotten more handsome.

0

72.914 - 75.396 Leila Rahimi

Hi, Boog. Yes. Hi, you guys. How are you?

75.737 - 79.801 Marshall Harris

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?

79.941 - 88.229 Leila Rahimi

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.

88.329 - 100.221 Laurence Holmes

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?

101.197 - 117.702 Leila Rahimi

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?

117.843 - 125.955 Leila Rahimi

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.

0

125.935 - 130.16 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

Wow. That is something to note. I don't know that that actually ever happens.

0

130.44 - 133.945 Leila Rahimi

No, I don't think. But, hey, there's Craig Council.

0

134.025 - 147.481 Matt Spiegel

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.

0

147.501 - 152.247 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

Wait, we didn't even ask him what kicks he had on. You know Boog's got an elite shoe collection.

152.227 - 154.07 Matt Spiegel

They're really nice. Can I show them, John?

154.13 - 155.512 Leila Rahimi

Tell people what they are.

155.532 - 156.934 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

Shoe cam. What are you wearing?

157.134 - 162.182 Leila Rahimi

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?

164.265 - 165.046 Leila Rahimi

See you, buddy.

0

165.066 - 166.048 Laurence Holmes

It's like a midnight blue, right?

0

166.088 - 168.652 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

No socks because it's Arizona and the sun is out.

0

168.692 - 176.243 Laurence Holmes

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.

0

176.323 - 179.386 Marshall Harris

He looks like he's in the shade, so you look like you're going to get cold if you stay there.

179.666 - 185.272 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

It was like 12 degrees in our studio today. The heater stopped working. Again?

185.372 - 206.897 Matt Spiegel

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?

206.957 - 222.822 Matt Spiegel

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?

223.262 - 225.386 Matt Spiegel

I was like, that's pretty funny.

0

225.446 - 232.294 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

Easy for you guys. Easy for you at your self-financed ballpark up the street.

0

232.855 - 245.729 Laurence Holmes

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?

0

245.749 - 262.947 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

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.

0

264.308 - 265.449 Matt Spiegel

Yep, they are.

265.85 - 267.972 Marshall Harris

They can, and I think they will.

268.693 - 273.357 Laurence Holmes

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.

273.378 - 276 Marshall Harris

No, we're not doing that today. But there's going to be a work stoppage.

276.06 - 279.264 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

Speaks is outside. He's working right now. We're cherishing this.

Chapter 6: How are the Cubs and Bears connected in this discussion?

458.45 - 459.453 Marshall Harris

There's also a split squad game.

0

459.473 - 466.514 Laurence Holmes

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.

0

466.855 - 467.657 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

When they're on.

0

468.464 - 472.389 Laurence Holmes

Right. Have all the games is all I'm asking.

0

472.429 - 476.914 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

They are airing the split squad game against the Brewers, according to this, it would appear as well.

477.214 - 479.357 Laurence Holmes

Yeah, because that one is the Camelback Ranch.

479.377 - 482.541 Marshall Harris

It's the Camelback Ranch split side of that matchup.

483.982 - 485.344 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

Back to you, Marshall.

485.885 - 491.712 Marshall Harris

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?

574.288 - 589.068 Matt Spiegel

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.

0

589.088 - 593.914 Marshall Harris

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.

0

593.954 - 599.06 Laurence Holmes

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.

0

599.641 - 609.213 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

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.

0

609.533 - 625.157 Matt Spiegel

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.

625.197 - 632.408 Laurence Holmes

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.

632.388 - 635.232 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

I could not fix the heater today, guys. I'm sorry.

635.292 - 648.493 Laurence Holmes

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.

648.573 - 651.257 Jon 'Boog' Sciambi

But that's my point. The engineers are not overrated.
