Are worms meat, by the way? Is that meat? Like if a bird eats a worm, is that, is that, I know it's protein, but is that, is that meat?
No, Russ, you're seeing something I don't want to say.
It is meat, by the way. We were able to confirm it.
We were, yes, thanks to a bevy of texts and other ways of looking up information. Then the question about lizards came into play. Lizards also count because I'm pretty sure people have eaten alligator and other stuff.
It's meat. It's meat.
Yes. And we asked how many bears. Thanks to Mike Florio. Thanks to Russ Dorsey for coming in today. Thanks to JT Barrett for giving us some information that was valid, Mark.
It was valid. Yes, do less, Caleb. You're great, but do less.
Yeah, you don't have to do so much. Thanks to Ray Diaz, Tyler Buterbaugh, Brandon Fryer, Cody Westerlin, Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, and Max Curtis. And our transition is brought to you by TORQ Coatings, high-performance coatings for your home or business. T-O-R-Q, coatings.com. Thanks to Lawrence Holmes and Matt Spiegel. You're here.
Hello, good people.
Hello. What's happening, gentlemen? What's going on? How are you handling your 10-game losing streak today? And that's transition. See you guys later. No, it's a lifestyle. We're all dealing with a lifestyle right now. And it's breaking up families. It's like politics. You can't talk about the Cubs with your family right now.
I think Speaks is on top of it, and it's something that we'll explore late in the second half of the show today. I thought that his approach to Monday, I think a lot of Cubs fans should take that approach, not to necessarily go watch the White Sox. I don't know. That was a nice part of it. I know, but I think just that, you know what?
I'm not going to do this today. Memorial Day, I took the day off. You gave yourself a day. Yeah, I put myself in sneakers. I told myself, no, I'm not even going to grab a bat.
You sat next to Craig. I did. Craig, I'm going to just come sit next to you.
I just didn't even pay attention. And I also didn't watch a highlight video, condensed. Didn't look at a box score. You know how hard that is for me? But yeah, so just completely. Then last night I settled back in just in time to watch Jordan Wicks blow up. And when that was 7-1, I bailed again. I left again.
There was no reason for you to stay because the White Sox game was interesting and the Western Conference Finals were going on.
And that Cubs thing wasn't going to get better last night. And it'll get better eventually, but... Maybe not right now.
I left it 8-1. I was like, ah, maybe. Then I was like, man, it's 8-1.
I need to wash the socks. And then I saw somebody cut in. I saw a cut in with Palencia giving up a bomb. And I'm like, that dude is just out there to get some work.
Exactly. In there in the seventh inning. Go work on some stuff. I wonder if he's as mad as a role as Chapman would get when they would put him in.
How are the Cubs handling their 10-game losing streak?
We're so good right now that we don't need you and the Cubs are so bad that they don't need Daniel Palencia. So I've had this gauntlet. I am within a gauntlet of weeknight stuff that I have going on. I've got stuff going on every night. So I had to...
Mr. Popular?
Well, I did stuff.
Responsibilities.
Some of us were like, tonight I've got a junior high graduation, so I've got... Congratulations.
The nieces?
Yes, the nieces. Madeline. Dear Madeline.
Oh, I see. You're going to one, I see.
I thought you were working on the speech, hence our worms meat.
Crowdy is valedictorian of some random junior high.
What strategies do fans consider during a losing streak?
Oh, you guys don't know my story?
I just sold hot dogs, and that's about it. Drew Barrymore was in the movie, Based on Your Life. Oh, that's right, that's right. And she went back to school.
So in other words, I had to go out of my way to watch the game last night and then this morning. So while you gave yourself a day off, I've been overworking for the Cubs and the White Sox on my DVR, and now I'm questioning it tonight. Should I take a night off? I probably can't take a night off.
I mean, you can. You're working. It's hard. We could just talk Bears or something if you think that would be better.
