Saint Louis Live!

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. 

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.

Trav is running a little late this morning and it may be because of jealousy. Chris is practicing the technological side of cutting off Jeff when Larry Hughes comes in studio to make sure there's no DC talk. The phone was definitely ringing off the hook at Jeff Fisher's agent's office yesterday. Travis is a weird jealous journalist. He thinks we're better than this. The reach of this thing was absolutely outrageous yesterday. Travis is afraid that Navy SEALs are going to come pick us off outside the studio. Gaines could probably get himself verified today. Gaines may end up saving the Mizzou football season for next year. KFB has the Tyus Edney text of the century. Mayor Gaines is excited to preside over the Illini/Mizzou series in nine years. Hockey Bob is Confucious now. 

It was a busy day of roster movement in St. Louis yesterday as the Cardinals added four to the 40 man and the Blues took Jay Bouwmeester off of IR. Adding a hard throwing righty does raise questions about whether the Cardinals may be expecting to lose one. Bouwmeester deserves to have an automatic spot in the lineup. What exactly does it mean to get Wally Pipped? Hockey Bob calls in with a radio lineup update. The big show this morning is going to be a doozy thanks to Fake News Gaines.

Brad (@gtbradlee) and Jeff (@jmjones) are back for the first Game Time Drive Time in a while. Lots to discuss in this episode including Jay Bouwmeester, Jake Allen, Jack Morris, and Black Friday. Check out the definitive Blues pregame show!

Travis is still fired up about fake news, and we're joined by Tanya Ray Fox (@TanyaRayFox) to break down yesterday's ridiculousness. Gaines is shaking a little but we're managing to pull it off smooth as we're joined in studio by SLU legend and former NBA great Larry Hughes (@thereallhughes). Larry's going to hire some of the listeners to be his publicist. Larry has a ton of good insight on the state of basketball today and the way the game and the league have changed since his youth. Larry sits in for Fair or Foul and Travis is humiliated.

By hook or by crook, Travis is trying to force the discussion away from Gaines. Mizzou "won" last night, but the Michael Porter Jr. thing is officially weird now. The small amount of time played in the opener is by far the weirdest part about the process. Where does the frustration lie in this situation? Are Mizzou fans going to feel like there was a bait and switch? Jim Sterk confirmed yesterday that Barry Odom is coming back for next year. The turkey pardon is pretty stupid. Paintings and Paul Newman's jewelry apparently go for a whole bunch of money. Travis is so wrapped up in jealousy that it's hysterical. Joe Morgan sent an email to the Hall of Fame voters about steroids and it's pretty audacious. Travis is exporting his generalized feeling on older black folks onto Joe Morgan. Travis is going to take a knee for the national anthem at Thanksgiving. MAGA hats stay on at the table. 

Travis sings the Half Baked song and it gets away from him a little bit. Back into more Stanton talk, as Craig Mish is reporting that the Cardinals are offering Sandy Alcantara. Jeff doesn't believe in Tommy John surgery according to Travis. LaVar is going to be on CNN tonight. Shannon Sharpe got to meet Nicole Murphy this weekend. Travis says he's the same as Shannon Sharpe.  Chris is excited about Brayden Schenn and Jeff has boring hockey stuff to say, but Mike Lee doesn't care. Jeff has a question about Travis's long johns and Travis isn't having it. Charles Manson died and the headlines are weird. Terry Yake (@tyake27) joins the show to talk the start for the Blues. Terry Glenn has sadly passed away in a car accident. Baker Mayfield dunked on Kansas and they probably deserved it. Fair or Foul closes the show as always.

Gaines's news update had some amusing Jeff Fisher news that may or may not be real. Just ask Lavar. Travis claims he's never heard of apple butter and no one believes him. Kris Jenner was getting after it early and Robert Kardashian may not get enough credit. Black people live in rural areas in the south. Are buffets for poor people? Actual breaking news: Trevor Trout is going to USC. Is ham a top three breakfast meat? Jeff likes crab meat for breakfast and everyone thinks he's dumb. Why aren't there any black celebrity chefs? Travis lets everyone know that Jews are basically black and that chitterlings are an important part of black Thanksgiving. A chicken gizzard is not a thing that hangs from the neck, but instead a part of the gastric lining. The Giants have a deal on the table for Stanton and Gordon and it doesn't look very appealing. It's Trump/Lavar time! Big Baller Insider Michael Gaines has important information for us. Covering Trump looks different from every other President, but that may be because he's a very different President. 

Happy Monday! Travis steals all of his winter wear from the Metrolink. Gaines reiterates that hockey doesn't start until January and is confused by Brayden Schenn. Everyone is sick, or mostly just Jeff. Travis says he wears a "scub cap." Mizzou is going bowling thanks to their lovely schedule which involves everyone's coach getting fired. Jeff polls the room on pie season. Gaines doesn't like going to other people's Thanksgiving celebrations. Barry Odom gets a bonus for making a bowl game and Gaines thinks it's a scam and he's not wrong. Chris thinks it's A Lock that the QB is gone and Travis doesn't know how he Drew that up. Does Lock compare to AJ McCarron? Blaine Gabbert may or may not have a good football name. Travis explains classic literature and knows about Of Mice and Men. The TV cart at Travis's high school was chained to the closet. Travis is making everyone watch black films in exchange for the books. Travis is not reading any book that has a movie about it. Too Short is in town this weekend and there's bottle service involved. Travis offers tips for hitting up the after spot. Travis says the Stanton trade offer is breaking news and it may not be, but we break it down anyway. The Cardinals rotation for next year is more in flux than we're acknowledging. Chris says he gives up unless they acquire Stanton and Chris Archer.
