Fourth quarter of the program begins right now as we finish strong here on a Thursday. Clouds rolling in. Boy, howdy. What does that make you think of when you see the clouds rolling in? I don't know. Royals baseball. Royals back at it tonight, 6 o'clock. I even just told you we'll do the Royals first.
I was going to think it was like a song or something.
Then we'll get to the NBA. And the thunder rolls. Kyle got it. Kyle figured it out all on his own. He wasn't even in here to hear me say we'll lead with the Royals. I'm not smart. On the need to know. Royals at Twins. The answer is what it was. Yeah. Royals at Twins, 640 on Royals TV. Twinks are minus 102, Royals minus 116.
So a mild favorite for the Royals as they send Seth Lugo to the bump against Andrew Morris. Don't know who he is. Son of Jack Morris. Is it? I don't know.

Chapter 2: How are the Royals performing this season?
Why not? Let's throw a dart. How many people are really going to look it up?
Strong mustache game. Could be Jack Morris' kid. Really? Well, give it a Google. Maybe they back-assed into one. Maybe they got lucky. Does not say that. No. No. Not related. Unrelated. Former Big 12-er, Texas Tech.
Okay. There you go. Lugo versus Morris Royals coming off a series win with the Cincinnati Reds, the very difficult four-game series with the Twinkie Dinks before they get a day off and then have the Rangers coming to Kansas City.
Yep. Rangers and who else is on that homestand? Houston. Houston.
It's an all Texas affair.
Yep. Then to Washington for the first time in a while before the welcome the Cardinals in a weird split three game series because they play Thursday, Friday and Sunday because Saturday night is one of the World Cup games.
OK. They also, I know one of those I've seen on the TV, because, you know, I watch the games, Curtis. They are going to have Monarchs. The Monarchs uniform is going to be that St. Louis one.

Chapter 3: What strategies are the Royals using against the Twins?
Cool. And the St. Louis Stars will be what the Cardinals are wearing. Nice. And, like, I have a certain, I like hats. I don't know if I've... Made that clear.
Yeah. I like hats, too. I just don't look good in them.
Well, part of it's because you feel a need to wear them like this now. All of a sudden, you become like Hal McRae.
I don't have a normal-sized head. If I pull it down further, it looks like I'm wearing a beanie.
You look like you put one of the old batting helmet ice cream things on top of your head.
No, I pull it down there. I just don't have a normal-sized head. You've got to put the hat on. I do put the hat on. Buy the proper size, fathead. If I find a size that fits me, it's either an 80-grade dad hat like I'm Fred McGriff, or it looks like I should have a propeller on the top. You have a normal head. You have a good hat head. I do not. I've never... Hats have never liked me.
Last hat I remember you wearing... Well, when we were over at... The golf... tournament yeah uh the corn fairy uh or the usc hat that your wife brought kindly brought that's right that's the last hat because curtis was literally catching fire yes uh sitting in the sun salmon um and the advent health championship right there at uh uh blue hills country club it's not far
And so my wife ran over a USC hat. Yeah. And we just gave it to you.

Chapter 4: Why is Daniel Lynch not closing games for the Royals?
Yeah. Because once it's been on Curtis's head, you don't want to wear it. Probably not. Let's be honest. Just keep it. I think all the places my head's been. Mainly up. Mm-hmm. Your ass. Why? And so, you know, we don't want it back. Maybe that's why they don't. It doesn't fit.
I've been trying for 40 years to figure out how to get a hat to look good on top of my head, and it does not work. Before that, you used to have a yellow Packer hat you'd wear every now and then. Way back. This is 20 years ago. I've had a few. They just don't work.
Well, anyway, my point being, I would like them. The 3930, the Flex Fits, and New Era's is called the 3930. I'm a fan of that. That's what this is, I think. I don't know. I don't know. No, this is a Nike one. But the Nike ones are kind of the same, too. They have the sizes small, medium, medium, large, and large, extra large. And so I think they have a pretty good fit.
I would like the Negro League's hats to come in that so I could get the modern fit.
Chapter 5: What are the expectations for the Royals' bullpen?
And I would literally buy every Negro League hat out there. Not all at once. You know, because a box that big shows up at my house and it's not shoes for the rest of the women in my house. Like the whole world comes unglued. Yep. Would you get another hat, Dad? Yeah. Or is it an autographed mini helmet? Yes. Both. Go mow the grass. I buy something.
It's like, oh, I can't believe we're spending money.
You even give your family members that voice.
Meanwhile, I have to climb over a mountain of shoes just to walk in from the garage, of which mine number zero of the quantity that I'm walking over. I don't know if you understand this, but if you are female, you need nine different sandals.
Well, yeah, it's got to go with your other accessories. Got to go with the nine purses you have.
Did you buy another hat, Dad? Do you think you need another hat? I don't know. Do you need 14 flip-flops? I'm just saying. Just saying. But I kind of don't want to trample on the shoe buying that goes on in the house, because then I might have to trim down the hat buying. And so we found a... A reasonably peaceful coexistence.
But I would like to see those Negro League hats in the 3930 version, or the flex fit version, because I like the Negro League hats. That STL one looks pretty cool, too. Have you seen the Stars one they're going to wear? I have not.

Chapter 6: How does the guest analyze the Royals' roster construction?
It's a big S with a little T that's the top part of the S and then a big L, and it's blue and white. And I was like, oh, wow. They had Bob Kendrick on doing the promotion for it. And they were showing, you know, we've all seen the Monarchs hats. Oh, cool. But I thought the St. Louis Stars had them. I'm like, oh, that's cool. Because I'm not one of those people that hate St.
Louis like most people in this town. That's what you're talking about? Yeah. That's neat. I like that. I was like, ooh, I'd like to get one of those.
So just throwing it out there. Speaking of.
How about New Era? Just make them for free to help out the Negro Leagues Museum or Nike or whatever companies. Who else does them? 30 or 30 or what's the old 30? Not what old 20. A 47? 47 brand, yeah, that's what it is. Make the Negro League hats with the modern fit and just donate them. That's your way of giving to the Negro League's museum. And they can sell them. And I'll buy them.
Speaking of logos and designs, see the Rockets went a little retro? The Houston Rockets?

Chapter 7: What impact do injuries have on the Royals' pitching rotation?
Yeah, unveiled today. They're going back to the... Red and yellow? Yeah, kind of the Olajuwon era, but with the modern, with their current typeface. But they're going back, adding the yellow to the... It looks pretty cool.
It'll be one of the 29 uniforms they wear, I'm sure.
You still won't be able to figure out who's playing in the game you're watching for five minutes.
That happens frequently.
I'm like, well, I recognize the court. I know we're at the Boston Garden, but I got no idea who's ā because Boston's wearing black.
Well, they're even screwing that up with their tournament thing. I don't know. Where are we? What are we in? Are we in ā is this the Running Man movie, or am I watching an NBA game? What the hell is going on here? Is this a backgammon board? We're getting to a point that two years from now, somebody's going to run out on the floor in a white uniform and be like, oh my God, that's so cool. Wow.
White for a uniform?
When you see a regular game with the home teams in white and the road teams in their usual colored jerseys or uniforms, you're like, Wow. Yeah. What is it, 1987?
The next step is, like, every player is wearing a different version of the team uniform. It's literally pick-up ball. Yeah. It's like, let's get little shirts and skins, for God's sake, so we can at least have an idea who's on each other's team. You've got a different pair of colored shoes.

Chapter 8: How can the Royals improve their offensive performance?
Oh, socks, you know. One leg of spandex. Just one. One leg. Just one. You know.
Got to have it. One more thing to sell.
The Knicks took a commanding 1-0 lead in the NBA Finals. Let's hear from Knicks head coach Mike Brown. He was asked what makes Jalen Brunson, his leading scorer, so good in these difficult situations.
Yeah, he's a gamer, man. He, you know, in the biggest moments, you know, he shows up. And that's what MVPs are supposed to do. We put the ball in his hands. We said we were going to live and die with him. He went and he got it done for us. And that's happened time after time after time after time. He got to his spots and he made plays. Now, on top of that, our guys spaced the floor correctly.
You know, when you're playing against San Antonio and you have a defensive anchor like Wimby back there... Your spacing has to be right. And if that ball gets sprayed, we know Wimby's in the paint. When the ball gets sprayed, guys got to make plays. And Josh was great with his quick DHOs. Guys were great shooting the ball. Guys were great having a second drive.
And those are things you got to try to do against this team because Wimby is going to gravitate towards the ball when you drive it.
If you just watch the fourth quarter of that game and then looked at Jalen Brunson's line, you'd be like, I thought he was better than that. But it isn't just what you do on a night. It's when you do it. And he did it.
Yeah, he can get 30 and have it look like, my God, is anybody else trying? I'll give the Knicks credit. They got more going on around him now. And maybe this is, I do think the Thunder would have been a tougher matchup for the Knicks. The Spurs are a tough matchup for the Thunder. But I think the Knicks match up much better against the Spurs than the Thunder did.
For one, Carl Anthony Towns, for as much as the New York City likes to malign him, is not seemingly afraid or intimidated by Victor Wimbanyama. And Chet Holmgren looked like he needed a diaper when he was out there because he was going to wet himself every time Wimbanyama came anywhere near him.
