I grew up in Iowa, and my dad said, hey, we're Bears fans, and you're a Cubs fan. I said, sir, yes, sir, and here I am. I mean, I grew up drinking beers in the bleachers, so happy to be back.
Aw, thanks to George Kittle for hanging out, even though we weren't the ones he hung out with. Thanks to Jay Zawoski. Thanks to Russ Dorsey. Thanks to Ian Happ. Thanks to Ray Diaz, one-man banding producing over here, being EP and sound producer. Thanks to Brandon Fryer for helping us out. Thanks to Grant Leder for helping us out for a little bit, too. Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, Max Curtis, and Cody Westerlin. Hello, Lawrence Holmes and Matt Spiegel.
What's happening, y'all?
What's happening?
You know, we just got our hands on Grant Leader starting yesterday in the missing Alex Kuhn formation, which we don't enjoy being in. But Grant Leader, a fine young man. You guys taking him back today. I mean, we might have to throw hands on this.
I think Grant just helped out out of the goodness of his heart and stuff. Yeah, because Ray's by himself. We could have taken Peter back. Peter, the intern.
Yeah. Yeah, Peter was just kind of sitting here.
I don't know why that wasn't an option for us. You're on payroll. We could have used your help today. But no, Afternoon Show's got to have 12 people on staff. Wait, he's an intern on payroll? Yeah, they pay interns now. Oh, that's right.
How do the hosts joke about staffing and the paid intern controversy?
Ever since the Today case. Yeah, dude, that just derailed the business. Upended the status quo. It's kind of a precursor to, like,
A lot of stuff in the biz. A lot of stuff.
I'll just leave it at that. So if the intern is paid, does that mean I shouldn't send him on coffee runs?
No, he's getting paid to go on the coffee run.
I think that's part of the job. Okay.
Yeah, no dry cleaning, though. That's where we draw the line.
I never had to pick up dry cleaning. Did you, Lawrence? Did you ever pick up dry cleaning? Actually, yes.
Really?
I never had to do dry cleaning.
Not technically dry cleaning, but I had to go get Rich King's suit.
Oh, yeah.
From his house.
From his house. Okay. Just the one time. Maybe the dry cleaner brought it back to the house.
He needed a particular jacket, and I was like, I'll go. And Krista was like, can you just go and get them? And I was like, sure. And Rich's wife had them.
I thought you went and had to go in the closet and find the jacket.
No, no, no. She had everything laid out for us.
Like the devil wears Prada. You got to go pick up the book.
Go get the book, but don't disrupt the fam.
Ray, do you have a history of dry cleaning pickup? Not dry cleaning, but here, since we're going to go through the list of intern duties and what was normal and what wasn't, what about going to get somebody's brakes done?
Is that something anybody had to do? That is not normal.
What about sitting in their computer-like room of someone's house and reviewing with them the weird things they bought on eBay? The nerdy, comic book things they bought on ebay no nobody knew that oh okay no i never got anybody's breaks done i picked up liquor though when got went to the liquor store i've done that yeah yeah i've done that as well 9 a.m margaritas i've done it delicious i think i had a pretty easy intern right because none of this stuff sounds familiar at all i definitely had to do grunt work absolutely yeah grunt work is fine
But that's it. But no, logging games was the fun part. I got to watch games. The groundwork is picking up food and coffee and whatever errands needed to be done.
Whatever people need is fine.
Absolutely.
It's fine.
As long as I'm learning from you. You're helping to make the machine happen.
As long as you're learning from them and they are kind and my rule is if I'm sending you, I'm paying. Like, it's not, like, you can also get stuff.
