Learn about the evolution of dialing, the introduction of Touch-Tone phones, and the colorful range of telephones from the past. Johnny also reminisces about the days of coin-operated public phones, the cost of long-distance calls, and the transition from unified phone books to the separate white and yellow pages.

The hosts debate the Cardinals' needs at the trade deadline, focusing on adding a starting pitcher and right-handed power bats.
