What humorous comparisons are made about trains and baseball?
Maybe the big boy train is the White Sox.
All I know is that's... This sounds insulting to people's figures.
That's a caboose.
What do you mean insulting? You know what? Did you just hear that? Are we just going to let that slide? It's a caboose. That's not getting pulled for audio later?
Listen, cabooses are good. Facts. Nobody likes a long back, Layla. Nobody likes a long back.
I think some people do.
People with bad taste.
I mean, I can't criticize people's taste. Not like that.
I can't.
Fair. Yeah, I'm probably the wrong person to talk to about all of this.
There's no kink shipping on our show, but your show can do whatever it wants. Exactly.
I don't know. I think it was just yucky yum. The point is, if you have kids and your kids like trains or if you like trains, there's a big train coming. Oh, okay. And I'm not talking about the Cubs offense. I didn't know what the point was. Yeah, there's a big old steam train coming on the 3rd of June to West Chicago. Ruben likes trains.
How does the conversation shift to Davis Martin's performance?
Yeah, he would be into this. They call it the big boy train. So just so you're aware, that's where this came from.
Well, let me just give the full context. It's coming through on its way to Philadelphia to celebrate our nation's 250th birthday.
Oh, I got it.
Steam train's coming across the country.
The sesquicentennial?
You got it.
Indeed.
It's impressive.

You know, I grew up in the suburbs, so like the trains were like not a thing. Ruben is a city kid, has grown up in the city, and he has his whole life counted how many cars are on each L train as it goes by outside the window. You know, so like every once in a while I'll be like, Dad, there's a four. Must be after a certain amount of time. It's like it must be after 6 p.m., Dad. It goes down to only four on the R train or whatever the hell he's saying. What is it before that? It's six, sometimes eight earlier in the day because we see the red line and the pink line going by and sometimes the green line. He's counting number of cars.
What factors contribute to Davis Martin's success on the mound?
Well, he might like the big steam train that's coming through. He might.
Listen, there's nothing worse than getting caught behind a long train. You're talking about like an L, which is cool. But if you're like on Harlem and Grand and you get stuck at one of those and you got to go somewhere and then all of a sudden it's like not a six or a four. It's like a 400. Yeah.
it's the worst feeling in the world it's true put your car in park just like relax over there it's like call whoever you gotta call tell them five minutes later it's worse when you're in the burbs and get stuck at a train stop and then the train like stops and you're like what's going on and you have no way out because there's people behind you in front of you and you're just like i guess i'm just gonna take a break from driving
Gabe, where is it over up on the northwest side where like one of those freight trains, it literally goes right by. I think it's like, is it like Damon and Irving?
Yeah, but that one's up above, up on top. That's like where the Amtrak stops by. It goes north in that way.
No, it's further west and north, but there's like...
You're talking about Northwest Highway and Harlem? But the train literally goes right through the city street. Oh, there's a bunch of places like that, though. Like Cermak and Cicero, the pink line rolls through there, right? California and 18th, you're getting another pink line. Like, say, the orange line. So you're getting some that flow and that mess up traffic that way.
