I forgot to hit record. Dammit. I missed all that shit. Did you see the story where, um, Victor Wimbanana's security guard slapped Britney Spears? Yeah! He slapped Britney Spears? Yeah! In FireEye? Yeah! Shit! I thought he was gonna fly out of the way. Fly out with the fly? That's so... That's funny. Yeah, like, who'd slap her because she was getting too close? The security guard did what? Slap Britney Spears? At the Summer League. Yeah, at the Summer League games. I guess she was getting too close to him or something? She was trying to get an autograph or a picture or something. And she got slapped by the security guard? Yeah. That's hilarious. And just think, like, 20 years ago it would have been him trying to get her autograph, you know? She's getting... Or he's getting slapped, but not anymore. That poor thing, man. Her fucking dad ruined her whole life, man. Yeah, she was a little... a little messed up. Yeah. For sure. But... I'm sure Jay-Z didn't help at all. Oh, I know. He's so dreamy. I can see how it would be hard to get over him. You know. That's funny. So how's that... How's that bag treating you, Trenton? Oh, man. It's Jay-Z as fuck, man. I'm good, bud. I got two different... I got two different files and I have no idea what they're called. I'll find out. I'll find out later. There you go. My brother gave me a full-on description, but I have no idea what they're called. So you're going to have... And the weed college, huh? Yeah. Trenton's going to have some... some weed fusion. All right. Well, everything now I have a lot of titles, too. Like, you know the names of the bands and shit. Yeah, so... Kind of cool, but also, like... There's all those... I just forget the names. There's all those... like, CBD places now and, like, the... that Hello Mood website where you get gummies and shit like that. You know? It's like... I tried the flour. It's good. I mean, well, it works. It doesn't taste great, though. Like, it... It's very, very earthy. Almost on a... Almost on a swag kind of taste level. But the cards, like, the pins and the gummies, like, those things taste nice and they do work. They don't necessarily, like, blow your socks off, but... It's like a... It makes... Yeah, you'll get there and it'll maintain it. Yeah, totally. And a lot... So it's a lot better than Spice? Oh, yeah. Did you ever try that? Did you... Either one of you ever try that? Um... In Vegas years ago, Spice... In Vegas a long time ago, probably, like, in... The only time I went, I think it was, like, maybe, like, 11 or 12. We went in somewhere and they had, like, what they called was, like, steak weed kind of thing, whatever. And that's what... It turns out that's what it was. So we smoked a blunt of that, but... Not all that... I didn't... Didn't feel weird. It tasted like shit, but... Yeah. I tried it once. It was, like... I don't know, like... Ugh. Yeah, it was, like, harsh to back-o. Yeah, it was... Oh, it was... Yeah, it was like smoking a clove. That's what I was like. Is this... Is this nutmeg and oregano? I'm like, what is this? Nah, that was... Those things were better than, like, a clove or that fucker whatever that's called. Oh, yeah. Big vulgo back. Ugh. No, man. Not Redman. Levi Garrett. Fucking A. Oh, dude. Yeah, dude. No, and I... When I was playing, I would have, like, a little bit of... I would have a little bit of chew in my mouth while I was playing, but I'd also throw in, like, some seeds. So when I was spitting, you know, I would spit some seeds, too, you know, but... Yeah, well, you know, it was just... I was horribly influenced by Major League Baseball players. They were all doing it, so why can't I, you know? Oh, I wonder if... No. Go ahead, man. I wonder if that stopped in Major League Baseball. No. I think Devers... Devers always got that one. I'm assuming that's a chew versus, like, seeds, but... I think it's... I think it's gone down. I think so, too. It's not nearly as used so much. Man, look at the fucking vents over here. I don't know if they're heating up or not. Look at the vents over here. I know they're 18 back, but... The one thing that gets me about being, like, say, the better team in baseball right now and stuff like that is the letdown. As in, are they going to keep it up? I mean, I know we still have some pitching and stuff to come and things like that, but that offense, I mean, is it going to keep it up? And then even when you get in the playoffs, are you going to be as hot kind of thing? Because that's kind of what happened to us last year. We weren't the hot team. Yeah, this year's team is different. We were straight home run all or nothing last year. This year, this year, we manufactured. Because you look at the top three, you know, like, one through three has, like, 150 RBIs. You know, four through six has a little more and even seven through nine has, like, 130-something RBIs. So it's balanced. It's not like, okay, we need a home run Riley. We need one Olsen. You know, it's like, okay, you know, Ronald could strike out, but then ever since he snipped switched Ozzie to the two spot and Olsen to the four spot, that's when things have just gone off, you know. And it's just like, you know, because Ozzie's got 23 home runs and he hit eight last year. You know, and he's second in the RBIs and the NL. So, but yeah, I think it's just someone different. And Pillar and Eddie is hitting great, you know, and it's like... Right. So think about, yeah, think about that. You know, with Harris, Harris is getting in rhythm, now that, like, okay, top of the fourth, Harris leads off, gets on base, oh look, Ronald's next. So what if Ronald's on, Harris is on, and then Ozzie comes up? Okay, you can't really pitch around Ozzie because, oh, there's Austin Riley. Can't pitch around Riley because then you got Olsen, you know, and it's like, this team is just balanced. And it's just like... Whenever they took away the pitcher bag and they started using, like, you know, what would be possibly a leadoff hitter is the number nine kind of spot. And it was working for the Braves but other ones weren't doing it. They started to try to do that in a way, it feels like, because he kind of, what you just said, if so-and-so is the last out and so-and-so leads off and he gets on, then you have this coming back around. Of course, back when baseball was younger, you know, you got to deal with probably the top five hitters next to that and you knew you had easier matchups, so to say, kind of thing. And now it's not the case. And the Braves are making it look really fucking easy right now. Mm-hmm. But I like it, though. I really do. Yeah. I was reading this dad about in the month of June, you know, the Braves had it over 300 as a team and their team's slugging percentage was 577. Oh, my God. Only three players have a higher one this season and one's Acuna. Can you all think who the other two are? Olsen and... Ozzie. It's not a Brave. It's Tommy Roe. Oh, Tommy. Yep. He's one of them. And the number one seed in the home run, Derby. Oh, Robert. Oh, it's Robert. Really? Yeah. Wow. I didn't know he was slugging like that this year. I was kind of surprised, too. So the Braves as a team have had the fourth highest slugging percentage in all of baseball as a whole team. That's crazy. Yeah, I think... I remember seeing... I was looking at the offensive numbers, too. We're batting 275 on the year. Yeah. I mean, and like every offensive statistical category, top three. I mean, it's crazy. And it's like Ronald has like more stolen bases, I think, than three or four teams combined just by themselves, you know? Yeah. I definitely think after the draft and all-star break, they're going to be looking at what moves they need to make to disqualify the team. So... Yeah, well, it's going to get traded. I think... I think they need to go after another starting pitcher. Yep. Just because, like, Elder's been awesome, but, you know, he's reaching that point where this is already the most innings he's already thrown. Oh, there you go. Yeah, and you don't want to put him just in a bullpen roll, but then you don't want to skip too many. So maybe they get another starter and maybe they can just go to like a six-man rotation. You know, plus that doesn't... Plus that'll stretch, you know, because that's like, that's what happened with Spencer last year. You know, the kid had the over 200 strikeouts, but you could just tell him that playoff game after the third inning it was like fastball, 92 miles an hour, and you're like, what? You know? I agree. I knew it. I knew it. Go ahead. No, you go ahead. I'll say I agree with you, Sean, and I agree with Max too about getting another starter pitcher, and I know we get Max back, and I think, you know, nothing to drop the socks off about nothing, but like, tie up that bullpen a little bit. Just, if it can be used as much as it is, like, find those guys that can go a couple innings and maybe not get in so much trouble, or if they do, they can get out of it kind of better than say the others. Yeah. Well, we've been without Chavez too for a couple weeks. He should be back after the break. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I think they're going to get, I think they're going to go get Dylan Seich from the Web Talk, but I think it's going to take long drift on being traded. That's fine. I think it'd be, yeah, I think going after something like that, it's definitely going to take away one of our, maybe a couple of our younger up-and-comers, for sure. They're going to take a young pitcher too. I don't think, I don't think they'll go after like a rental kind of guy, you know. That GEO has come there. Although, yeah, yeah, I think, but that's what he does. Like, as soon as he traded for Olsen, boom, contract extension. Murphy, contract extension. You know, it was like, so, that's kind of like a get to sign and trade kind of thing, which is healthy, and much like, much like I was saying the other day with the Mets and the, you know, the Yankees and these other teams, you can buy your team all day, but you don't have depth and young talent coming up, injuries are going to happen, slumps, sometimes things don't work out, you know, and you've got to figure out how to like develop that, and the Braves have always done a good job at that, and they kind of got off that bandwagon for a while, but they've always signed them, and we're not going to go trade them unless, you know, that time comes, or they don't perform, but, you know, you look at everyone else, you look at the Yankees line-up and shit, you've got Donaldson and fucking Stanton and all these guys who just go, I mean, Donaldson helped us out on your call, you know. Yeah, he was good. He's been the fame since, and then Stanton, I mean, goddamn dude, Donaldson was huge. I remember that Marlins, or the Marlins trade or whatever it was, and he just had it really delivered, man. So, I feel like you've got to bring some people up. Well, yeah, like you said, younger. It's like, they always buy, like, the older players. Like, that's why I don't get the 10-year contracts to the 30-year-olds, you know, like, it's like, 20, 8. Yeah. So, he's going to get some kind of 10-year, 12-year kind of thing for sure, and probably max dollars. It'll be the richest contract, no doubt. That's all. I mean, how long will he make it, though? Yeah, well, I mean, worst comes to worst, like you said, with, you know, with the new DH rule, I mean, it's going to be wonderful. I mean, he's, I mean, it's great to see it. I mean, I've never seen anything like it before. He's doing well. He's not just talented, or not just crazy talent, and not doing much with it, but he's like, you know, he's hitting those blasts in Colorado, hit that blast in Texas, but, yeah, man. It was like, eh, is this guy going to make it? Because he got hurt, and he really didn't do anything the first couple years, and then, about, what was it, 19? That's when he, boom, took off, but, yeah, he, that kid is freaking awesome to watch. I mean, and I'm sorry, I'll say it, he's better than Babe Ruth. Like, you can't even imagine him hitting. There is no way. Not even close. No. No. I would. Because Babe didn't do shit as a pitcher. He sucked as a pitcher. And then, and Babe was, like, Otani's bigger than Babe, you know, so it's like, Babe was the biggest one back then, so yeah, he hit those moon blasts, but, I don't know, Babe was the John Daly of baseball back then, for sure. Drinkin' in cigars. I mean, I'll say this, Babe Ruth was 94 and 46 as a pitcher. And he had a 228 ERA. He pitched 147 games, and 107 of those were complete games. 17 of them were shutout, so, he wasn't terrible. No, but, you know, he was pitching against Larry, you know, who was also the electrician, Monday through Friday, you know, not pros, like I'm talking to you, you know. So you would say he sucked, or what? Walter Johnson sucked? Oh, hell no. I mean, Cy Young, Ty Cobb, all those guys are good, but you can't get the farmer that was, you know, raising cattle in Nebraska. I mean, it's like, you know, it's hard to separate those, you know, same with the NBA. Well, just put him in the ERA. How would Babe Ruth do today? I don't know. I mean, is he like Daniel Vogelback 2.0? I mean, because the food's better now. You never know. Baseball, to me, is as much of a skill as it is a sport. Absolutely. Hitting a baseball is fucking hard, man. It's hard. Especially with the movement they do on the baseball now. I mean, it's hard. Hard. So, I don't know. I can't say, you know. I mean, I think a lot of it, a lot of it is, we get to see, is he better? You know, I think that's tough to say. But, he keeps doing what he's doing. There's going to be a damn amount of support there, you know, for that shit. Those numbers are on and off. I mean, shit. How about 2.2 AERA? 2.2 AERA, 107 complete games, 147 pitch. You know, it's hard to say. It's hard to say. It's hard to say. It's hard to say. It's hard to say. It's hard to say. It's hard to say. It's hard to say. It's hard to say. It's hard to say.
