It's #WouldYouRatherWednesday, but first-day old food stories! Then-would you rather the Orioles don't deal Adam Jones at all or deal him to the Yankees where he wins a World Series? Yeesh. We discuss that before being joined by former MLB GM/MLB Network Radio analyst Steve Phillips at the bottom of Hour 1. What does he make of the Machado/Yankees rumors and does he think the Orioles are set to go through the "dark ages" again? At the top of Hour 2, a #FinishThis: Police say no crime was committed in Connecticut despite a woman being found _____ and ______. Australian born Frederick Keys pitcher/top Orioles prospect Alex Wells joined us to discuss being named to the All-Star Futures Game Sunday in DC. And before we wrapped up, our college sports guru Patrick Stevens checked in to discuss Maryland being subpeonaed by the FBI plus can he name all of the teams Benito Santiago and Jose Canseco played for?

So...this whole Manny Machado/Yankees thing is a thing now, huh? We'll get to it, but first we talk to former NFL pass rusher/Ninja Warrior host Akbar Gbaja-Biamila about Baltimore's ties to the show, including Towson alum Kacy Catanzaro. What does Akbar think about her chances in the WWE? Is Terrell Suggs a Hall of Famer? Plus Akbar's doing something awesome to support the fight against Parkinson's disease. After that, Machado and the Yankees. Should the Orioles be willing to deal a player like Machado to a division rival? We discussed at length. Later in the hour, PressBox's chief grand poobah Stan "The Fan" Charles stopped by the studio to discuss Machado/Yankees and to play another round of "Five Words Or Less," discussing other relevant sports figures like Adam Jones, Brock Lesnar, Dwight Howard and more. Then late in Hour 2, we react to the news that the NFL and NFLPA will try to work together to avoid the courtroom and come to an agreement about an anthem policy. To wrap the show, New York Post MLB writer Ken Davidoff joined us to discuss the Machado/Yankees stuff and whether we should be worried that the "dark ages" are about to return for Baltimore baseball.

It was quite the weekend. We try to recap it-as Glenn hosted his annual summer get together and Kyle showed up, sadly not dressed as Sexy Batman. Womp womp. But we had a wonderful time and we talked at length about sausage to start the show because THAT IS WHAT MATTERS. The Orioles kept losing, there are new Manny Machado rumors, we know who our World Cup draft loser is and the UFC is even more of a joke than we realized. Also-with it looking more and more as though the Machado deal is imminent, how nervous are you that the Orioles may be on the cusp of re-entering the "dark ages?" Late in Hour 1, Loyola soccer coach Steve Nichols joined us to talk World Cup ahead of the semifinals starting tomorrow-is France definitively the best team left? At the top of Hour 2, MASN analyst/former Orioles catcher Rick Dempsey checked in-is he still interested in being Orioles manager? And we wrapped the show with our weekly chat with Glenn Younes regarding the Orioles, Boogie Cousins and more.

Super fun Friday edition of GCR-despite the fact that Drew Forrester (DrewsMorningDish.com) was there. In Hour 1 we talked World Cup, the NBA offseason, the Orioles being awful and more. But in Hour 2, a fine moment for Kyle Ottenheimer. He was dressed as "Sexy Batman" today to pay his penance for losing our regular season NBA bet. He performed-brilliantly-the USS Indianapolis monologue from JAWS. Simply spectacular. After that Glenn tried to extend his 14-8 lead over Drew in the Jon Proctor Quiz for the year and we wrapped the show by listening to our interview from earlier in the week with Orioles first round pick Cadyn Grenier.

Hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th of July. Glenn got duped by a fake clip from a news station in Nevada about fireworks. It is what it is. Joey Chestnut ate another ton of hot dogs but Darren Rovell wants to fight about it. Weird country. Early in the show, former Terps star/Hawks first round pick Kevin Huerter joined the show to discuss his decision to come out early, the other local prospects on the Hawks' Summer League roster and what he learned from Mark Turgeon. After that, Jets linebacker Brandon Copeland (Gilman) joined us in studio to discuss his career, the MIAA drama this year, anthem protests and his annual "Beyond The Basics" camp this weekend. Our polldance question today-are you angry that the Orioles called up Joey Rickard instead of one of their prospects (Cedric Mullins, DJ Stewart) to replace Colby Rasmus or do you simply not care at this point because the Orioles are just so bad? And we wrapped the show by discussing that and more with PressBox Orioles beat writer Rich Dubroff.

Happy 3rd of July! Glenn is looking to meet a man in a back alley for his pickle. Really. Hey, it's how he got his NFL Blitz machine once upon a time. Boogie Cousins has made the Warriors' super team more supererer. Kyle doesn't like it and is probably a hypocrite. With that in mind-let's say Baltimore were to get an NBA team next year. Would you rather they quickly become a super team and win multiple titles or draft and develop one Hall of Fame caliber player, suffer multiple playoff heartbreaks before winning one GLORIOUS championship in Year 15? Late in Hour 1, Orioles first round pick (37th overall)/Oregon State shortstop Cadyn Grenier joined us to discuss being the hero to keep the Beavers alive in Game 2 of the College World Series finals against Arkansas (just one pitch after appearing to create the final out on a foul pop-up that wasn't caught), winning the title and starting his pro career with the Delmarva Shorebirds. At the top of Hour 2, former Navy QB Ricky Dobbs joined us to discuss playing flag football in the AFFL, still wanting to become President one day and more. After that the guys discussed how many players currently in the Orioles system they believe will be quality major league players in five years and they wrapped the show by talking to top pitching prospect Zac Lowther who has had an outstanding season with the Frederick Keys.
