It is not baseball season today. It is not. I have been informed, and I must agree. Wait.
Oh, I also had the same speech given to me in the meeting as well. Monday. Cubs have won ninth straight.
Yeah, it's Cubs-Dodgers. It's Cubs-Dodgers tonight. This is why the Lord invented hit and run.
You see what he's doing?
In his infinite wisdom.
Well, did you see what happened inside the clubhouse? It got turned into the Mullion Hawn draft special.
Did it. See, that's the problem.
9 to noon tomorrow.
That's why I chose Sundays. Here's the good news. Actually, I didn't choose that at all.
I was about to say. The good news is that there should – guys, should there be – Hi. Should there be Victory Chicken here today? Does it feel like a victory today with Dylan Thienemann? I'd love to pick, but let's not get out of hand. Oh, man. That's out of hand.
They won a coin flip, and that's fine.
But this is two years in a row, Lawrence, of good picks in the first round of the draft for the Chicago Bears. We don't really do victory chicken for that, though.
We don't really know that, for sure. Well, competency is what Gertie's selling.
Universal praise for it. How about that, Speaks?
Look, we'll join in on the praise.
We will. 98. 80% approval rating.
We will grade it as well. But it is just such folly and idiocy to be grading these things today. And now we'll do it for the next four hours. Yeah, exactly. Hi, everybody. It's folly and idiocy.
I like the transparency, though.
Let's be honest, man. I mean, I like to pick a lot, but, you know. In the grand scheme of things. I was all upset last year that I got the wrong tight end. I need to Lawrence Holmes this.
Did you really?
Yeah, you had to explain it to me. Lawrence had to explain it to me. He had to sit me down, wag his tight end finger at me, and explain it to me.
Tight end finger sounds... Really? Yeah. I need more words.
How long did it take you, Speaks?
I need more words to explain this.
It's true. My doctor had a tight end finger, and that didn't go well. Oh, man. He's doing 20 to 30.
Wait, those are more words. All right, some more. The more words I want is.
Moon river. I need an understanding, Spiegel.
How about that, Barrett? Of when you turn the corner on, hey, Colston was actually the right guy.
When did I turn that corner? Yeah. What, week four? Week five?
I think that's about right. Oh, so when he started playing. When he got good. Yeah. He was not good early.
Yeah, because we were looking at. Because remember, at the beginning of the season, Tyler Warren was very productive. Yes, he was. And so were the Colts.
I had some days coming in here being like, what's going on, man? Take out your tight end finger. Let's discuss this. Was Lawrence holding strong in his stance? Yes. Okay, good job. Good job, Lawrence. He held strong. And eventually I understood. And I'd been told, too, by somebody close to Ben, it was like, no, Ben needs a tight end like this to run his offense. He needs a tight end like that to execute his offense.
So you're telling me that a coach says, these are the players I need to run my system. And then the GM's like, okay, coach, I will get them for you. And that this is the way.
This is the way.
Huh.
Yeah. So in that sense, it's much easier to trust this. Lila's never even seen The Mandalorian, but she understands. Yeah. This is the way.
I haven't, but I know the phrase, this is the way. And I feel like I've learned it.
