Saint Louis Live!

Tomorrow is an experimental day in college football with the early signing day. It'll be an important day to see if Mizzou is making headway in the places where they need to make improvements. James Brown had a little bit of a whoopsie with his Twitter account this weekend. It's important to make sure you don't hit the share button on a porn site. The listeners will all be sitting in for us on Friday. John Skipper is skipping his way on out of ESPN and is citing substance abuse as the reason. It's really hard for a guy like Skipper to have anyone who's able to truly challenge him. Travis isn't happy with Condi Rice but likes her a little more than Rex Tillerson. Jeff sneezed into the mic and the cough button doesn't work back here. Matt Damon is sticking his neck out right now and it's not a good look for him. Damon is a top tier guy so Travis would be very surprised if he hadn't heard these rumors before. Now is not the time for him to speak up because it's not like innocent people are really getting swept up in this. Hollywood has decades and decades of this behavior so Matt Damon probably needs to sit down now. Jeff is really mad at Dan Brown and hates how rich he is. It's really hard to see someone in a special that's really good. Kevin Hart gets people to laugh at his energy and not the jokes. It's hard to really draw inspiration from someone who isn't accessible or relatable. Rotten Tomatoes is mean to Jumanji. Disney is never going to stop their live action remakes. Panhandlers in Farmington face an angry reception. Fair or Foul closes the show as always.

Jeff is on one this morning and he's excited because he managed to drag himself through the Wake Up Hour. Gaines is not excited about the guest. Hockey guests can be a little bit of a challenge sometimes. Is Mike Wazowski coming on the radio? Hockey Bob's Ghost Writer is a mystery. Do we need to reach out to the listeners to suggest guests to us? Hockey Bob calls in to improve our guest roster and holds Gaines accountable. Hockey Bob might be coming in to hang out with Buffa on a Friday night. The hawk has gone away. The way you handle panhandling with people of your race can be different from people of another race. Jeff got robbed in front of the Del Taco once and Gaines knows that's a rough spot. Travis has a message for panhandlers who are downloading the show. Kobe got his jerseys retired last night and Gaines wants to know if Travis is still supporting Kobe post-rape. Kobe may not be better than Tim Duncan. His whole family showed up in a helicopter and it was badass. Jeff used to have a regular florist which makes Travis really want to be a kept man. Jameis Winston is probably going to be around Tampa for a while. It's really hard to find a QB who can truly impact the level of talent around them. Gaines thinks the NFL is definitely changing but not dying. Does having someone's number in your phone mean that you know them? Travis thinks maybe Cam Newton isn't in the community anymore. Harassers do things for the power dynamic. Jerry Richardson is in to some weird stuff. The text line shows back up so we plow through it. Juanita Jordan is the richest black woman in the world who no one talks about.

It's Tuesday after absolutely nothing happened on Monday, so what are we supposed to do about that? The Blues recalled Tage Thompson yesterday, and that probably means he's with the team to play rather than sit in the press box. The Cardinals may be circling around more deals but Tampa has historically been a hard team to deal with. The Panthers being for sale can be a difficult challenge for their fans who may have to sweat out some relocation rumors. The PR weight of moves can be really heavy on a league. All of the Marlins who are still stuck in Miami may want out, but the Marlins may not be willing to jam through a deal for the sake of a deal. 

Chris is considering beginning a door knocking campaign. Travis thinks he's a safe driver but he's actually so slow that it's dangerous. Chris went to a holiday bar this weekend and it was passably entertaining. Can we talk about fine wives? Jeff knows how to do time three ways and nobody else has heard about it. The Ottawa radio broadcast had an interesting conversation about Grindr over the weekend. Canadian broadcasters stole Cankles's Grindr joke. MPJ was shooting hoops this weekend and Chris says it was photoshopped. The Lakers may pick very high against next season. What conference is Stephen F. Austin in? Antoine Walker had a little bit of financial trouble. It's important to pick out a specific bathroom to use when you're in need. Travis signed up for high school co-op and mostly didn't go to work. Walmart bathrooms are pretty rough. Black Sheep's dad once named a park after himself. Mayor Gaines wants to start naming things after himself. Chris's brother was dragged through some awkward small talk. Chris accidentally threw away some earbuds. Jay Nixon went from maybe being the Vice President to sitting next to Gaines at the Muny. Some old hippie got his land stolen by the state government. Tony Schiavone ran WCW into the ground. Gaines is not in favor of The Rock as President and Travis doesn't really care. The Panthers ownership group could be a hilarious debacle. Mitt Romney was supposed to save the world and then he didn't. Trey Wingo is actually named Hal. Do women named Janice have big bootys? Julius Hunter has a long Wikipedia page. Fair or Foul closes the show as always. 

Hockey Bob is in witness protection, we think. The Steelers and Patriots had a controversial ending last night. The play at the end of the game was probably a catch but the NFL rule is bad. Travis has some hot takes on what a catch is and isn't. Arlington calls in to support #RollTheDice and talk about the catch rule. Arlington is excited about the XFL and it's coming back maybe. The football landscape is very different now than it was last time. College football stars could find a new home. The TV content now is a very different situation. Jeff thinks Vince wants MAGA football but maybe not. American Gladiators wasn't a sport, was it? Mike Lee calls in to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. The Panthers are being sold and Jerry Richardson isn't fighting it at all. P. Diddy is going to buy the Panthers but may not really know what's going on there. Vince is trawling for trademarks so football is coming here. Travis makes an impassioned plea of InBev. Cam Newton had some fun on the field with Clay Matthews yesterday. Matthews called out a route and they didn't cover it anyway. The Pelicans may or may not be coming to St. Louis. The Blues played this weekend and we probably aren't going to talk about them. They're in rough shape right now and a western Canada trip isn't going to help. The Mills is a terrible abandoned wasteland. Star Wars wasn't loved by Gaines and Jeff thinks it has some upside. Breakfast soup is something that needs to exist. Sgt. Major Rose pops in and brings by some candy. Sgt. Major is a huge Star Wars guy and is holding Gaines accountable. Vader didn't have to be in shape because he had the force. The opening scene was awesome and Gaines isn't mad at it. Travis can't go to a movie with the listeners because he's going to get stood up. Sgt. Maj. Rose sticks around to talk about politics and treatment for PTSD. Sgt. Maj. says he's met some aliens. 

The hot stove cooled down for the Cardinals over the weekend but Gaines still thinks Machado is coming. Travis convinced himself that since it didn't happen this weekend it won't happen at all. Disney World is stressful. Why do people care what number baseball players wear? Pat Neshek is kind of a nerd. Travis has a clutch Pat Neshek impression. The Royals are back to being the Royals. The Orioles may have baked in a fake deadline. Momma Gaines texts in with her bag of bath bombs that Gaines is getting for Christmas. Gaines is concerned that the Cardinals would miss out on a deal because of a hesitation to deal Flaherty. The Cardinals haven't traded any meaningful prospects since Dan Haren. Cankles did some standup. Chris got some free hand me down curtains this weekend and spent some time trying to hang them. Judd Apatow had a terrible standup special. Chris is now a call out comedy snob. Cankles and Yale are going to be competing for plugs on the air now. Gaines is an everything snob. What is pickleball anyway? The lines for the brewery lights were absolutely insane this weekend. Jeff yells at nuns at Christmas light displays. A guy was hanging around the ATM this weekend and Jeff wasn't happy about it. Cankles calls in to peacock around his standup performance. Travis is going to start throwing his underwear on stage at comedy shows. The Rams are good now and it may be starting to hurt. Travis is trying to make Andrew Wentworth black. The Case Keenum thing is pretty crazy. Gaines thinks there's a lot of value in having healthy fat guys. Hue Jackson is 1-29 as the head coach of the Browns and he may be coming back. People wearing Rams gear in St. Louis may be allowed to be choked. The Ravens get no history from the Browns. 

The Blues had a less than inspiring weekend against the Jets but managed to escape with a split. The lack of talent throughout the lineup is starting to shine through and getting through this rough stretch will be a challenge. Hockey Bob calls in and some discussion of the mid-90s Avalanche follows. The Cardinals settled down over the weekend but may not be settled for long, and Jeff is totally invested in his Rays conspiracy theory. Travis shows up for the final segment as Jeff breaks down a pretty uninteresting casino regulation story. Travis didn't see Star Wars this weekend. Jeff may have been inspired for a couple screenplays this weekend. Being stuck on the tarmac for eight hours sounds like a nightmare. 

The fourth game in a week allows a long home stand to mercifully draw to a close. Brad and Jeff celebrate the 20th episode of the Game Time Drive Time Podcast by previewing tonight's game against the Jets, wishing for sturdier skates for the Blues for Christmas, and setting up plans for the potential of a future drunkcast. 

Jada sticks around a little bit to kick off the first segment this morning. The takes are hot and the women say they are as well. Gaines is amused that Stu Durando didn't get invited to the Post holiday party. It's a little bit of a salty room this morning. Chris doesn't like people eating into the microphone and Jeff doesn't like Giamatti looking at his phone instead of putting audio up. Gaines has our Hill report because Chris thinks buildings are all being knocked over. Travis doesn't get to be involved in all the Italian stuff. Gaines has a "Mario" in his family. A woman would probably call the cops on Travis for tasting her sauce. Giamatti wants to know about Wild Hogs. The Last Jedi may be a little long. Judd Apatow really needs to be forced to cut a bunch out of his films. Gaines is coming out in support of Jack and Jill and the Zohan. Gaines is not having it with Bomb Pop Guy. Is a comedy a comedy if it's not funny? Chris introduces us to the concept of "a quirkedy." Cankles is going to try standup which is more than Travis has done. Gale and Yale would be a fun comedy act. It's weird that we don't know anything at all about Bollywood. Travis "develops" projects by smoking weed and thinking of stuff. Martin Rucker (@ruckersouthside) joins the show as Gaines claims he dunk on him. Is there a last minute babysitter Uber-esque app?  Gaines likes the idea of planting cacti under a basketball goal. Do you remember your neighbors from when you were young? Everyone has an unnecessarily mean dog. 

Jada is in for a very special Wake Up Hour, mostly to save Jeff from himself after a long night of Star Wars-ing. Weekend plans can unravel into a discussion about how life gets lived on a day to day basis. Does Jeff have pretentious taste in films? Jada does Star Trek and not Star Wars. Giamatti is fast on the dump button this morning. Jada brings out the requisite conversation about intimacy and relationships and how those things all intersect with each other. Travis is through the window for the end of the show and the texters all ask what Travis's favorite stepdad name is while Jada and Jeff talk about what to call their grandparents. Why is it that we all treat Travis like a piece of meat anyway?
