Saint Louis Live!

It's a busy Friday full of local celebrities around here. We're all in on the "roll the dice" movement. Travis is really excited about all the players of color finding their way back to St. Louis. Jon Heyman says the Cardinals stack up well in a Machado deal but he's bad at answering his email. Did Manny Machado travel through time to star on Modern Family? A guy in Oakland had a really good idea for Piscotty jersey funds to be donated to the ALS Foundation and the A's president said they're going to do it. Maybe the A's will flip Piscotty over to the Giants. The scub in a scub cap keeps the hawk away. Travis thinks hawks sound like homeless people. Birds make Jeff want to talk about Star Wars. The graphic on the Ozuna tweet was a little bit sketchy. Hockey Bob calls in to drop a little controversy. Gaines goes deep on books of the Bible with Hockey Bob. People go out and spend their hard earned money on baseball so it's OK to have high expectations. People love Shake Shack so much that Amazon would probably run the town for forever and ever.  Would we rather give a giant chunk of the city to Machado or Amazon? People on Rotten Tomatoes are taking The Last Jedi to the woodshed. Travis leaves his adult tabs open on his iPad and thinks that's the same thing as leaving the video in the VCR. The net neutrality conversation is a serious civil rights issue and people haven't taken enough time to learn about it. It seems pretty unlikely that 1100 busses brought people from Mississippi into Alabama. Chris got a little plot twist from a cop once and Travis wants cops to listen to Fair or Foul. Fair or Foul ends the show as always.

Raising twins is a pretty pricey proposition. Travis tries to talk about Net Neutrality and Gaines isn't having it and demands Cardinals talk. When did Todd Frazier turn in to Adam Dunn? Machado would be a very un-Cardinals move but the Cardinals are already making un-Cardinals moves. Ronaldo had a big press conference once. All of the fire seems like it's burning hot with the Cardinals. If the White Sox trade Luis Robert to the Orioles for Machado, Cardinals fans are going to lose their minds. Arlington calls in and Travis asks him about the hood unnecessarily. Arlington spends most of the call promoting his Twitter. Travis thinks the Cardinals are the Ned Flanders of MLB. Derrick Goold has been crushing the reporting and insisting that the Cardinals are rich and don't need to be let off the hook. Benjamin Hochman (@hochman) makes a glorious return to the program. Gaines is a flip flopper and he's Team Mo all of the sudden. Mo has been better and putting together better packages, but Travis is surprised that he's a gunslinger all of the sudden. 

Saint Louis comedy stars, The Sklar Bros. stop by Gaslight Lounge for a fantastic conversation. The guys tell Chris and Travis all about their new project for Audible, a poop documentary, their podcast business, and splitting money at stand up shows. An extremely insightful conversation with lessons about their time in comedy and Hollywood. Go see them at Helium Comedy Club this weekend in STL!

The Ducks are back and so are Jeff and Brad to discuss Vladimir Tarasenko, Judge Reinhold, Scottie Upshall, and what needs to be done to make sure the team doesn't fall into a slump. 

Lots of baseball talk today. What move could the Cardinals make today that would truly blow your minds? A giant move with the Rays may end up being the most impactful the Cardinals can me. Derrick Goold has to deal with some pretty ridiculous stuff in his job. Pauly Shore cancelled on us and that's probably for the best so Jeff can't embarrass us. Megan Green is running for Board of Alderman President and we like weed a lot more now. Jeff wants to make some shiitake broth. Chris wants everyone to admit to selling drugs but instead mostly just sold candy bars. Megan Green was quiet on Scottrade which is weird. Chris hates Quidditch and Jeff used to go run at the zoo. Dippin Dots is not the ice cream of the future at all. Sean Spicer hates Dippin Dots. We have a comedy show again! A bomb sniffing dog at O'Hare has a pooping problem. Thankfully the pooping dog is still able to do her job well. Are the bomb dogs in the TSA union? There are definitely black dogs and white dogs. Travis says black people steal golden retrievers. Obama got a white dog because he was pandering. Men with toy dogs are always kept men. Can you name a white dog "Kilo?" The Rockets appear to be changing the game right now in the NBA. The Thunder are coming around finally. The Lakers and Cavs will be fun tonight. The Balls are doing their best to be the Kardashians of basketball. The Cardinals took two minor league OF in the Rule V draft and it seems like dominoes. Gaines is excited for Ozuna and Martinez handshakes. Travis is excited that the team is blacking up. Travis was really concerned about Kevin Shattenkirk's hairline. Fair or Foul closes the show as always. 

Travis is playing Here Comes The King to start the show this morning. Are we allowed to make Marcel the Monkey jokes? Probably not. Marcell Ozuna is on the way to Busch and Travis says there's going to be a parade. Alien Ant Farm played a set behind Jen Langosch while she was being interviewed. Travis thinks there's an improvement that could help catch the Cubs but Chris isn't convinced. The Cardinals have the blackest or perhaps best OF in the NL. Gaines is not pumped about Ozuna but the price seemed to be right. Travis is trying to talk himself into Manny Machado coming to St. Louis. Jeff thinks the Cardinals got close to Longoria and Colome but Machado may have been cheaper than expected. The trade for CC Sabathia ended up not really costing the Brewers anything, and he could be re-flipped at the deadline. The Ozuna trade isn't a long term deal, so go get Machado and make it happen. The Marlins are officially a pawn shop right now. Trading with the Marlins has worked out OK for the Cardinals in the past. Brandon Lang (@RealBrandonLang) hops on the show to do what Brandon does. Travis tries to talk about his fantasy team. Ryan Shazier has a complicated name. Travis is putting the hammer down on the Lang interview. Expensive shirts may be a waste. 

The Blues are at home against Anaheim tonight and it may the Blues game this year that Jeff is least excited about. Jake Allen is going to have to continue to be strong to quite strong to get through these injuries. The Cardinals got deep into it yesterday and may be close to making some franchise-altering moves. Up to 20% of the roster got turned over yesterday, so whether or not you agree with all the moves, the Cardinals are certainly making an attempt to get after it. Travis shows up for the final segment and mocks Jeff for being unable to avoid Star Wars spoilers. Jeff ranks the Star Wars movies to wrap up the hour.

Fett's Vette brings us back and no one else is amused by it. Disney is buying 21st Century Fox and it's getting pretty crazy in here. Disney is buying FX, so they can put an Always Sunny ride at Disney World. Why are there so many weird sexual things in Disney movies? Steve Cishek is going to the Cubs so we move into some more baseball talk. Travis is worried about Mike Matheny being the manager and it may hold the Cardinals back. News and stories are all developing throughout the morning on Piscotty and Donaldson. Travis wonders if Matheny would be able to mess up a team with players written in pen. Patrick Wisdom doesn't get selected in the Rule V draft somehow, so I guess everyone hates him. If there's a managerial change, is it Maddux or Oquendo? Jeff and Gaines are trusting the process and Travis only looks at results. Chris's brother is in town from LA and has to watch the Ducks, ironically. Travis is insistent that he knows the most about all of the sports. Should we start giving away Fair or Foul topics as Fair or Foul prizes? Sean Spicer thinks Dickens wrote actual Christmas carols. Omarosa set off the alarms and she was tiptoeing her way through the White House grounds like the Grinch. The Piscotty move is rare because it can work out well for the Cardinals and also it's a humanitarian situation. Warren Sapp sure had fun running his mouth yesterday. Danny Duffy went nuts trying to stay in Kansas City. We really loved Allen Craig. Gaines is trying to fool Travis about Morgan Spurlock. 

Travis starts off the show with a pretty clutch hawk noise. Jeff wasn't here and the Blues got shut out yesterday. Jeff forgot that Tarasenko scored in overtime the other day and Travis owned his ass. Roy Moore is very bad at riding a horse. We have to celebrate a slim victory over an alleged pedophile. Voter intimidation is a big problem in suppressing the black vote. Black people clearly saved America yesterday. Travis thinks America is now the Cleveland Browns. Pocket watches and fedoras are necessary wear at strip clubs. Alabama elected Alec Baldwin. Travis suggests hugging black women and supporting Cardi B. Jeff brought in a chocolate orange and we all eat it. Travis gets kinda racist about Andrei Vasilevskiy. Yale went to war with Shake Shack and we're glad he's not going to yell at us. Roy Moore's attorney did not have a good first day of Hannukah. Travis asks about movies and Chris has seen The Client. Star Wars is a black movie now. There's gonna be some beefcake in Star Wars. "Knickerbocker" is a really tough word to say. Jeff Passan has Shohei Ohtani fake news. The Reds' Ohtani pitch book was interesting and the Cardinals maybe didn't put one together. Alex Colome is going nuts on Instagram and the Cardinals may or may not be close to him. Jeets is not at all good at his new job. The Cardinals have to stop talking about the past. The Cardinals vision for the future is really cloudy right now. Does having Machado in house make it more likely that the Cardinals will be willing to sign him? 

The Blues lost 3-0 to Tampa last night and it may be the start of a lean stretch. Tarasenko remains ice cold and Sobotka missed perhaps the most wide open net you'll ever see. The Cardinals appear to be circling around Marcell Ozuna and Jeff isn't convinced that he's more than a small upgrade. The As are apparently focused on Stephen Piscotty and that seems very unusual. Roy Moore actually lost yesterday and it's pretty wonderful. F him and the horse he rode in on.
