Jeff kicks off the Wake Up Hour by questioning whether Giancarlo Stanton news is actually local news or not. The Blues had a little bit of a different look at practice yesterday and it might be a welcome respite from how things have been over the last few weeks. A large part of the Wake Up Hour focuses on Alex Ovechkin's creation of "PutinTeam," and a conversation about how that's likely to be perceived in both the US and abroad. A major Russian player is in St. Louis and it could be a major story. Are we allowed to be excited about the new Royal Wedding? Probably.

El Monstero is coming in to record We Are Live! today and it's going to be super exciting. The text box is going to be super important today. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with the news and the Russian stuff. Hey, Travis is here! We're being unnecessarily observational of Travis's clothes and wristband today. Chris really wants the hot stove to warm up. The longer the Stanton thing drags out, the weirder it starts to feel. Chris would be happier if Eric Hosmer liked fat chicks. Matheny appears to be the guy but not everyone is thrilled about it. Chris hates Joe Crede. Alex Reyes's Instagram clearly shows that he's headed to Florida. Travis is making it clear that he's happy to spend as much of Bill DeWitt's money as possible. All the Japanese guys end up in Seattle. Travis has remedies for ankle swelling. The Grizzlies fired Coach Fizdale and Travis says he's a very nice guy. The reliance on Marc Gasol as your franchise guy may be a little misguided. Jeff doesn't know anything about real sports. 

Gaines kicks us off with a great Thanksgiving story. There was a nosy non-family kid who couldn't say out of family conversations. The kid then criticized the family welcome, and that's not a good look on anyone. Family gatherings and escape rooms can be really delicate situations. Chris's mom is flashing around d-pics at Thanksgiving. The balance of bringing a significant other to a holiday can be really difficult. Gaines is comfortable in the family situations and still feels weird about it. Integrating new people into your family situation is really hard. Gaines is taking shots at Marshall Faulk's number of kids. Travis used Dave and Buster's to teach his younger sister some hard life lessons. Gaines wants to know about chain snatching and whether it's a cultural thing. Travis confirms that Marshawn Lynch is the ambassador to and from the black community. Does 2 Chainz have to put Michael Crabtree in a rap song? Roger Goodell is probably afraid of Aqib Talib.   Travis's family didn't believe all of the sexual harassment allegations over Thanksgiving. The New York Times had kind of a rough weekend. Would you punch a Nazi if you saw him in public? Jeff and Travis have been with women who were fetishizing them. Fair or Foul closes the show as it does every day. 

Jeff is energized after a long weekend and breaks down the Blues games along with the current roster situation. Carl Gunnarsson may need to be moved out eventually. Travis moseys on in for the second segment to talk the crazy weekend in college football, especially the situation surrounding Greg Schiano at Tennessee. Travis would be happy to see Kevin Sumlin take over the Mizzou job. Black America is fired up to be a part of the Royal Family with Meghan Markle marrying Prince Harry. Can we have the Royal Wedding at the Dome?

Everyone is back from the weekend and Chris, Travis, and Gaines think it's one of the worst days of the year. Chris went ass over tea kettle off the curb and lost his leftovers and the cops showed up to his house because he couldn't get in the house. Chris is a prowler in his own neighborhood. Travis is excited to still be the healthiest member of the cast. Mizzou didn't give up with a thrilling  3 point victory over a terrible Arkansas team. This is a really bad year for the SEC. The Schiano scenario was kind of a nightmare and he might have been a good coach, but nobody knows. Jimmy Haslam apparently was involved and some Tennessee boosters weren't happy about it. Tennessee may have to hire Tee Martin at this point. Schiano had backers and will probably be fine. MPJ posted on his Instagram story this weekend and drove everyone crazy. He may or may not have the proper appreciation for his social media power. Gaines thinks the Morning Melee is going a little too social this morning. Travis has had thoughts about Matt Ryan. Travis's "fantasy team" may have a little bit deeper meaning. The lack of consistency for the Mizzou basketball program without MPJ is pretty frustrating and Gaines is concerned about Martin's coaching instincts. 

Gaines has another Jeff Fisher story in the news update, so we're going to be abundantly clear that it's FAKE. Joined by Kevin McGuire (@KevinOnCFB) of NBC Sports to talk about the wild football weekend. This year could be a very hairy setup for the college football playoff, and that may force expansion. Travis is fired up for the Royal Wedding, and that's today's Fair Or Foul. Travis is threatening a BLM and Antifa protest at the Royal Wedding. The Spectator is salty that Meghan Markle is divorced and Travis is stoked that DJ Khaled is going to be at the wedding. The crew breaks down the makeup of the Royal Family. Prince Philip has some things to say from time to time. The Rams may be in the NFC championship game and Travis wants everyone to be ready for it. D calls in for some football talk. Do we have hot takes on Vance Joseph? The Eagles are rocking the TD celebration game. Goff looks better but it may be thanks to McVay rather than his own play. Chris watched Get Out this weekend and was a little hesitant on the tweets, but he did enjoy it. Jeff hasn't seen Get Out so he's a poser. Awards season is here and it might look different with everything going on in Hollywood right now. 

Brad and Jeff are here to wash the taste of last night's game out of your mouth with another edition of the Game Time Drive Time podcast. Check out the best Blues pregame show in town and listen to a breakdown of tonight's lineups, the success (or lack thereof) of the Wild so far this season, and a terrified discussion of whether or not more frequent podcasts need to come along. 

Brad and Jeff are back for the latest edition of the best pregame show in town, breaking down Blues hockey before a game against the Nashville Predators. Lineup decisions, printing struggles, and the excitement of Starter Hutton are all discussed in this rollicking breakdown of the Blues' Friday night matchup. 

The Blues won 8-3 last night and they're really quite good. Tarasenko had a Gordie Howe hat trick and Jeff was surprised at how many people knew what that was. Hockey Bob calls in and has some thoughts on, well, hockey. Jeff talks a lot about Thanksgiving food, making Thanksgiving pizza, and the struggle of having a bunch of unnecessary food in your refrigerator. Matt is in for the last segment to talk about salary cap management and the absurdity of the Blues being able to pull off the Schenn/Lehtera trade. Gaines makes a very brief cameo and he's not done with his fame yet.

Is today a Friday? What's Friday? Jeff tries to cheer up Travis with talk of Tarasenko but he's not having it and we jump right in to MPJ talk. Matt thinks that Michael Porter Jr. may be in the Trent Green zone. Michael Porter is definitely not playing any more college basketball ever again. Jontay Porter is Luigi. Maybe Jontay will transfer to SLU. None of us learned how to be hackers and it sucks. Travis wants them to delete student loan debt. Travis doesn't know how to say "Banksy." Who would be the best possible GPS voice? Dr. Ed from Hillside Animal Hospital comes in for his weekly visit.
