Saint Louis Live!

Mizzou has a big announcement coming soon and we don't know what it is. The Blues made a big announcement during the break and it wasn't an announcement at all. Jeff is a jobber, and now his name is Jobber Jeff. Mizzou's endowment has passed a billion dollars. Drew Lock may or may not be back next season but a Mizzou podcast suggests that he may be back. Travis is reading the SAG nominees. Bob Odenkirk is never gonna get recognized for Better Call Saul. Morgan Freeman has been acting for a long time and was in a really bad car accident but got through it. Chris got some sex toys in the mail by mistake once. Travis is afraid Tarantino will use the n-word in space in a new Star Trek movie. Throwing a basketball game to Kim Jong Un could be a great plan. Lonzo Ball had a great game yesterday. Gaines is here for the Balls heading over to Lithuania. The G League may be the future of basketball development. SLU won last night and Gaines likes the Rebound Chain. Jeff delivers an important North Korea update. Gaines may or may not be getting some Big Baller Back End. Should we have a New Year's Eve party? Barron Trump might join the Big Baller Brand. Gaines loved Jim and Andy. Andy Kaufman was probably not always in character all the time. Travis drags us in to MPJ talk. Gaines thinks Mizzou is leaning on MPJ. Who would win a Porter vs. Ball 3 on 3 tournament? Dan McLaughlin is going to host the WALies at a SLU game. Jeff has Tarasenko amnesia. Fair or Foul closes the show as always.

Are the Cardinals going to get a move done any time soon? We're joined by Roch Kubatcho (@MASNRoch) to talk Winter Meetings and Manny Machado. Jason LaCanfora was a former Orioles beat guy which makes the whole thing crazy. There's some trepidation about the Morning Melee but then it spurs a tipping conversation. We accidentally talk about an old Rams story that may have been fake news. Chris got popped by a fake Ken Rosenthal yesterday. Why does everyone hate Eric Hosmer? Hosmer may be trying to shop around an offer from the Padres. No one is allowed to be excited about the Yankees. You have to hate them. Jeff drilled the bullied kid story. Juggalos are big anti-bullying people. Is there an amount of money that someone could pay you to be a juggalo? The White House fired Omarosa and she might be risky to lose. Travis opines on Omarosa's place in the community. A 30 for 30 that's not about an athlete is just called a documentary. Russia is a heel and there's nothing anybody can do about it. Travis wants Trump to listen to the Joker - we need a better class of criminal. Gaines would run the best senate campaign. Gaines knows that representation is unnecessary and all you have to do is win. Travis wants to steal all of the office supplies from the White House and Jeff tells a terrible DC story. 

The fellas close out the show talking to Ryan Fagan of The Sporting News. After some credible discussion, the guys slip back into tom foolery for Trav's famed movie game. Jay from Something Bigger Than Yourself calls in to discuss his Christmas charity work. Closing out the show with Fair or Foul.

Brad and Jeff break down the broken Alex Pietrangelo while trying desperately to hold themselves together. They also go into a long discussion about movies seen and not seen and discuss the possibility of podcasting while drunk. All in all, it's a truly expert analysis of the Blues' pending matchup with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The fellas debate who's to blame for what. Black people tend to add middle names on Facebook, white folks may or may not be the best at dressing down a fast food manager. The NFL Network has suspended some big names, including Marshall Faulk, for alleged sexual harassment. 

Jeff is out today, Matt Whitener is in. Baseball dominates the Matthew Ehrenreich 7AM hour. The Cardinals have Gaines really angry and really fed up. ENJOY.

It's Star Wars time and Jeff is pretty excited. Gaines and Jeff get together on the air to plan their moving viewing for Star Wars on Friday. Jeff draws the line at the cartoons and the books. We go pretty far down the Star Wars hole for a while. How have Gaines and Chris never heard of a chocolate orange? Jeff has some thoughts on the bullied kid video. Gaines thinks the kid is brave and Jeff is being a jerk. Parenting on Facebook is really bad and we can all get together behind that. We play the video and break it down a little bit. The NFL signed a massive deal with Verizon and business is as good as ever. The Eagles lost Carson Wentz yesterday and they have Nick Foles, but will they reach out to a new QB? Jimmy Garropolo may actually be pretty good. The Rams have done everything they can to make sure Jared Goff doesn't have to do anything. Mike Gruttadaria is a fun name to spell. Twin switching can be really tricky if one doesn't know the other's life. Drinks were being thrown at Jags fans yesterday. Chris wants to give free shots to players who get heckled by fans. Jaden Schwartz got hurt and Jeff thinks that means they have to make a move. 

Gaines is angry about bowties but at least thinks MIkolas is likely to be better than Tyler Chatwood. The national media sure does love carrying water for the Cardinals front office. Fowler was an OK consolation prize but that deal is starting to look long. Jeff wants to sell upside. If Jed Hoyer and Michael Girsch swapped jobs today, would anybody notice? We're calling Giancarlo Stanton "Daddy Yankee" now. The Cubs and Cardinals had a need for a similar player and the Cubs got the better one. The strategic use of the bullpen is going to be a challenge. Gaines thinks Gregerson is a little bit beyond the sell date. Asset management has been a real struggle so far. Approving the sale to the Marlins by MLB is pretty rough. The difference between Grichuk and Ozuna probably isn't that substantial. Catching up with the Cubs really sucks. Gaines is giving up on the Cardinals if they sign Carlos Gonzalez. Ned Yost shattered his pelvis and nobody would've found him without his phone. Gaines ran a 5K and managed to survive, mostly. Jeff nearly murdered a bicyclist this weekend. Gaines thinks there's zero chance he's happy with the Cardinals at the end of the week. Let's just lose and bring back Pujols. 

The Blues picked up a couple wins over the weekend but neither feels particularly meaningful in the light of the injury losses. Patrick Maroon may be a great rental solution. Jaden Schwartz was having a fantastic season but the Blues would be foolish to assume he'll be able to come back at the level he had been at. The Cardinals made their pitch to Stanton and came up short as per usual. Do they have a fair view of the future? It's really hard to know if the team is forward thinking. They may not be a great franchise, but they could be. Hey, Luke Gregerson is coming to town. Who's excited?

Jeff likes bullies and Gaines hates the Cardinals. Pauly Shore is coming in Friday and Jeff is absolutely having him autograph his copy of Bio-Dome. Chris is a big New Years Eve guy but Jeff and Gaines may not be. Jeff thought Jon Heyman had a good story about the Cardinals and it turns out that it's really terrible. Derrick Goold has to deal with some nonsense. The Cardinals should probably go get Robinson Cano, right? Arte Moreno sure likes being in pictures with free agents. Jeffrey Loria wheeled out Muhammad Ali for the opening of Marlins Park and had no reason for him to be there. Albert may be a little chapped with the Cardinals. Bill DeWitt may be part of the problem here. The Heyward negotiations were all about theatre. The Cardinals are under some external pressure and so they'll probably do something, but it's hard to know what. These Marlins can probably be fleeced. The Marlins are kind of like Nordstrom Rack. Bill Simmons was mad about the Yankees. Old Cardinals sluggers also end up in Texas all the time. There's an arrogance with the Cardinals that's been difficult to sort through. The David Freese experience may have colored the lack of Scherzer pursuit for a while. Jeff goes through a Blues update. Derek Jeter no-showed the Winter Meetings. Fair or Foul closes the show as always.
