Saint Louis Live!

Happy MLK Day! Jeff highlights his time at the winter warmup for the Cardinals. Gaines and Chris break down the NFL playoffs for the second half. 

The Blues are on the ice this morning and in Toronto tomorrow but Jeff is focused heavily on the Cardinals today. Mo is spinning the offseason acquisitions as exactly what the team needed, but that may be a charitable way of looking at them. Luke Gregerson is probably only the closer in the very short term until Reyes and Hicks emerge. Hockey Bob wants more hockey and calls in to talk about the future of Robby Fabbri. Serious injuries are hard to come back from and he may be squeezed out by prospects behind him fairly soon. Lou Brock was at the BBWAA dinner last night to announce he's cancer free. Hearing Kolten Wong and Tommy Pham talk about the way they approach the game showcases a lot of fire and a lot of potential excitement for the season. 

Matt Wayman, comic, creator, law school student, Dad, Husband, and all around good dude stops by to chat. Matt and Chris talk comedy, Matt's upbringing, building a comedy resume, booking shows, biking, and just a proper conversation with two guys striving for normal. Check out Matt's podcast 'Words With Wayman' and go see him at a comedy show if you're in STL. ENJOY!

Leaning in to the mic socks is never a good idea. They have a little bit of an odor. Vegas is at the top of the standings and that's pretty wild. Preacher Lawson (@PreacherLawson) joins us live in studio! Cursing in front of Preacher's mom is not allowed under any circumstances. Preacher promises he won't do bad jokes this weekend. AGT changed his life and he has absolutely no negative reaction to it whatsoever. LA is different from Memphis but Preacher moved around a lot. The insanity of being around people older who are ridiculously funny is hard to wrap your head around sometimes. Men by and large are pretty gross and terrible. Sometimes celebrities need their space, no matter how big they are. Sometimes random guests are very un-self aware but sometimes the conversation is great. Burping into the radio microphone is a big challenge sometimes. The RFT took a weird shot at the source in the Greitens affair and it doesn't reflect well on them. Greitens may get to stay but it'll end up being a political question more than a legal question. Does Cal May ask the first question at Winter Warmup? Fair or Foul closes the show as always. 

We're coming back live with Cardinals legend Kent Bottenfield (@KentBottenfield). Kent says he's a Cardinals fan first and foremost, and Cubs fans give him a hard time for it. Chris asks Kent about hockey coming back to Montreal instead of baseball, and Kent says he thinks soccer is coming back to South America as well. Jeff has ninety second of hockey for everyone. Colton Parayko was in Columbia last night which seems fairly curious. Maybe his background from a bad part of Edmonton makes him think Columbia is cool. Michael Wacha got name dropped on Big Brother a whole bunch a couple seasons ago. UCF is challenging Alabama to a throw down for the national championship. College administrators are probably the worst people at their jobs in the country. Is Heather Kozar related to Bernie Kosar? The Bears hired Mark Helfrich and Gaines is excited about it. Floyd Mayweather was interviewed about the Me Too movement yesterday and gave exactly the Floyd answer you might expect. Harvey Weinstein got smacked in the face out for dinner and Paul Sorvino said he would kill him. We're going Best Of tomorrow so Chris can cover UFC and Jeff can go cover the Cardinals this weekend. Bert Sugar will not be in town this weekend. Is Jeff afraid of Tommy Pham? Giamatti is gonna remix the hockey update music into a sweet EDM jam.

We're off and running with Giamatti having some struggles turning microphones on. Chris and Jeff have sweaty pits but Gaines says he never has that problem. GIamatti is the fashion expert of the show. Has anyone here taken an IQ test? The pipeline to different colleges definitely comes from a variety of friend groups. Governor Greitens is having a difficult morning, and the Friends Of WAL page had the news before it was released last night. Greitens is denying all of the blackmail allegations while acknowledging the affair. Any more confirmation of the blackmail aspect of the story would probably be enough to run Greitens's career into the ground. An MLB agent got caught recording his clients in the shower and Gaines knew him personally. Did Gaines "network" with this agent? Mizzou had a hugely important win last night. Brandon Lang (@realbrandonlang) joins the show to talk about excitement with his Jaguars and the rest of the NFL. Football experts are heavy on the Falcons over the Eagles but the money is on the Eagles. That game will be difficult to bet. App State outdrew the Chargers and Gaines says it's fake news, but Jeff is demanding everyone supports the Neers. Go Neers, drink beers. 

Eric Greitens is having a little bit of a rough go of it after admitting to an affair last night. Testing the depth of his support will be interesting. The NHL announced their All Star teams yesterday and Vladimir Tarasenko was not included. Does the NHL not consider Tarasenko to be a true superstar? The Canadian Olympic team is likely to be announced today as well, and Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou are unlikely to make it. GOP operatives are coming out against Greitens and he may be in trouble.

Good buddy Bill Vehige from Banned From Ringside drops by to chat. The guys get into a great discussion about why he loves pro wrestling, his podcast aspirations, and whats happening in STL. Enjoy and check out Bill's podcast 'Banned From Ringside'.

We're all pretty bummed that we may not be able to Maull It anymore. We're feeling old because things that disappeared in our lifetimes are hard to remember. Maull's was probably struggling because people bought it only once a year. Maybe this is like the time Hostess went away and then Twinkies came back. Snack cakes are a very divisive topic. Travis was ashamed by his off brand Twinkies. Off-brand cereal was a little hard to deal with back in the day. Travis wants Zebra Cakes in a place of honor in his wedding. We have a hard time remembering what Maull's tastes like. The free Bread Co is about to shut down. Student loans should work like the free Bread Company. It's Adam Kennedy's birthday today so it's fun to remember the time the Cardinals dumped Kent Bottenfield for Jim Edmonds. Kent Bottenfield looks like he should be on sports talk radio in St. Louis. We spend some time breaking down Kent Bottenfield's musical career. The Kent Bottenfield/Kendrick Lamar mashup would be fantastic. Travis thinks getting Stan Lee caught up in harassment now is about trying to keep Black Panther down. Gaines is checked out because he's wrapped up in Kent Bottenfield. Travis wants to talk about Wahlberg and Gaines isn't having it. Michelle Williams probably should've gotten her dollars instead of settling for no money. Is that movie only getting attention because of all the Kevin Spacey nonsense? Starlin Castro wants out of Miami and Jacob Eason wants out of Georgia. Fair or Foul ends the show as always.

Travis still seems a little confused about the game we played with Dr. Ed. Mark Davis is hideous looking and the weirdest part is that it's by choice. Gruden was meant to be a splashy hire and he is that, but Travis is skeptical that it's a good football move. Travis thinks the Mark Davis haircut should be a part of Chris's bet. Chris once tried to write a check at a movie theatre on a first date and no one else thinks that's really a thing. Travis says all his first dates go well because the first date is the easiest one. Chris once went out with a girl unattractive enough that he was embarrassed to be seen with her. Gaines thinks Chris took Meghan Markle on a date. Jeff once had to pay a ton of money to rent a movie he already owned. The Balls made their debut in Lithuania yesterday and the Welcome To Lithuania song may have been the best part. Gaines wants to know if Travis will take money for free and not have to actually pass out any Big Baller clothes. Travis says the Balls were a joke yesterday and Gaines doesn't know how. Lavar Ball is just professional wrestling and it's really confusing why people can't figure that out. The effect on the teammates is probably not fair to Lonzo. Travis goes on about "embracing the brand" for a while and we get a little lost in the woods for a while. Gaines thinks all the BBB exposure is what's driving Lonzo into the top ten in the All Star voting. The Lakers front office is probably complicit in this and it might be bothersome for some players. Gaines gets his Big Baller gear for free.
