Is this Kevin? Welcome back. Oh, yeah, man, how you doing? You good? I know you like that. I know you like that. How long you been back? Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome.

I see the girls in the club. It's a Wednesday hump day here on CCK. It's Kevin Clancy, Jared Karurov, Casey Smith on Power 85. We'll take you through to 3 o'clock before the Chicago boys take over. So come ride with us for an hour. 833-85-STOOL is the phone number if you want to call us up. We can talk baseball. We can talk football.

We can talk Corona. We can talk Ozark and TV, whatever the fuck you want to talk about. Rocket, I want to start with you, though. What was the last 24 hours like in the baseball world? Has that proposal been encouraged, discouraged, looking more or less likely, more or less possible? What are baseball players saying? What's the report out of the baseball world from the Rocket?

Pretty much, I feel like it's, it's been, I don't know. I don't want to, I want to say the word mocked, but I mean, most guys are like, yeah,

that's not going to happen. Like I just, I don't see a scenario in which that happens, but, but that's, that's important just to know that that initial reaction is like, I think that, you know, kind of is going to seal its fate almost in a way.

If it's like the people who are in there, if their initial reaction is like, yeah, okay, sure thing. But I think that they... Yeah, I mean, that's pretty much it. It's kind of like the same thing that I said yesterday. When the report first came out, it was like 1230 at night. So I don't know what it is about like reports that come out like late at night, but they seem more serious the later in the night they come out.

And that, that story came out late night and then hubs blogged it. Like it was basically like baseball's back. We're right back a hundred percent. And it just wasn't that like, instead of it being like, it was originally presented as, you know,

here's an idea. Here's one option. Yeah. Yeah. It was really all it was was just there was probably a fucking board meeting and some asshole just raised his hand and was like, I got an idea. And that's what I said. And then it became a story. And yeah, I mean, if there's probably other ideas that they floated that are, I guess, more likely to happen than the one that actually got put in print, I would imagine.

Well, I think that the main thing that differentiated it're a commissioner and you you have some sort of direct line to anybody in any of these departments right now in the government and you call them up and you say, like, all right, what about this? We're going to like stand 200 feet apart and we'll play under these circumstances. And with this, that and the other thing, would that would that meet your guidelines? And I'm sure they're like, yeah, OK, if you were to do that, we would sign off on it. And then that became a story. You know what I mean? Where it's like, OK, yes, if you do these ridiculously far fetched things, we we would we would approve that. And then that becomes like, well, we got their approval. And it's like, well, no, you got their approval for something that's probably completely far-fetched. And when you read, you know, you read in the article, it says a lot of things like Major League Baseball has discussed many options. They have explored all sorts of contingency plans.

They have, you know, many different directions they could have gone. This is just like one that was floated that made it to print out of, you know, all the other choices. And I think that people's eagerness and excitement kind of took it and ran with it. But, you know, I almost wonder at what point is, is like giving false hope, you know, like, shouldn't that, shouldn't that report have been like, you know, a little more like, here's a one potential farfetched scenario that might actually work. Let's talk about it as opposed to like uh you

know baseball's returning in may because that's that's what that's what it was presented as that that fucking scumbag passing i wonder like his article is probably written in a way that explains everything but the way it was first presented to everyone was like baseball may a government agrees it's happening and i feel like it should have been a little more like, Hey, this is, this is the inner workings of, of, of the sports leagues right now. Take a look at what they're trying to accomplish as opposed to what they have accomplished. Yeah. I mean, in, in fairness,

writers that write for like major publications like that usually don't write their own headlines. So fuck Jeff Passon rocket. He, I mean, I'm just saying that writers usually don't, don't come up with their own headlines, but,

um, yeah, I mean like all it took was two seconds of reading what he wrote. And it's like, yeah, if this is what they're talking about, I don't, there's no,

there's, I mean, it was basically someone like on an acid trip's like, yeah, if this is what they're talking about, I don't, there's no, there's, I mean, it was basically someone like on an acid trip being like, I got it guys. Yeah. We bring baseball back. Right. And, and yeah, again, under these like crazy circumstances, it might meet some certain guidelines, but it's just like, I, I, I appreciate it from being a radio host point of view. We have a couple of things to talk about, but I think I would almost be mad if I was a fan. It's like, dude, don't get my hopes up like that.

Like Casey was saying that you just wanted some glimmer of hope, but then when this gets shot down to the level, it feels like it's getting shot down. Doesn't that almost leave you with less hope than ever? I mean, I feel like it's yes to a certain degree, getting shot down, doesn't that almost leave you with less hope than ever? I mean, I feel like it's yes to a certain degree, but I still think that the light at the end of the tunnel is closer. If even if it was just like an idea that was floated, that the health organization even pretended to think it could work, because I would assume that if this thing is nowhere

near a light at the end of the tunnel, the health organization would be like, fuck you. Like, we're not even going to talk about this happening anytime soon. Whereas if they're even kind of thinking about it, then I still feel like that means the light at the end of the tunnel is closer. That's what I want to know. Like I said, did Manfred call up some fucking one low-level guy and say, if we were to do all these things, would your boss sign off on it? And did that guy say like, oh, yeah, I guess so.

I don't know. Or was it like, you know, we've we've been sitting down in a boardroom. We've like we've shown them presentations. We've talked about like potential outcomes and all that shit, because I just I just wonder like. I feel like the really important people are not focusing on sports right now. You know what I mean? So, yeah, no, I definitely getting your meeting with, you know?

There's definitely that element, but I do think that even like a lower level guy, and like if a lower level guy said potentially yes to something that was absolutely 100% out of the question, that person would lose their job immediately. So the fact that like there's even the opportunity of it being like, hey, listen, like there is maybe a potential that you could play baseball. Obviously there's going to be guidelines and rules. Then that is much better to me than turning on TV and being like, absolutely no sports. There's no way it's anywhere close. Don't even try to have the conversation. I still think there's hope, even if it is one of a hundred ideas floated, it's still the idea that there's a

potential door open for an idea to come to fruition. I'm surprised that anybody, whoever they were talking to, like at the CDC or WHO or whatever, would even be like, just from a cover your own ass point of view, I would be like, my answer would be like, we are focused on saving the lives of Americans and that's our only focus right now. Like talk to you later. Just because it's like any, any sign that, you know, for the, for the few people who did overreact who were like, this is dangerous and you could kill people. What's the CDC even thinking? I could imagine some higher up being like,

let's not say that we're going to be playing baseball anytime soon, guys. It just seems like a strange time to be like, yeah, yeah, yeah. We can do this. could do that when you know most of the message is like actually nobody should be doing anything right now but i guess they're probably a a a you know sports as much as people are as much as some people who aren't sports fans on the internet right now are being like how could you even think of sports in a time like this i think we've outlined the last couple days like like, the amount of jobs that are involved, and the entertainment business, and the importance of the advertising

business, and like, like it or not, just because you're not like a moron like I am who spends every, you know, every minute of the summer watching baseball games, that doesn't mean sports doesn't have, like, a important place in society. Well, economically, too. I mean, right.

You well, Rocket? I said I have, right. You will rock it. I said I have a conspiracy theory. Let's go. I have a conspiracy theory. I think I think that Donald Trump reached out to Rob Manfred and told him to get the ball rolling on Major League Baseball starting. Because if baseball starts, then that means that everyone can go back to work. And Trump has been the only one that's been adamant about everyone getting back to work immediately. I'm looking at it as, um, you know, like the NBA, the NHL,

like those were leagues that were firing on all cylinders when this all happened. And, uh, you don't hear anything about those two leagues, like picking back up and they were talking a little bit about the NBA. Not to this degree, but they've been talking about the NBA before. This felt a lot more like, uh, you know, we're talking about a horse and we're talking about the NBA before. This felt a lot more like, you know, we're talking about a horse and we're talking about different variations, but this one being like the 2020 sports season will happen.

I feel like baseball has been the only one there. And so you think that because baseball has been in a little bit of a precarious position that they're like, you know, eager to do it, Donald's eager to do it. It's kind of a match made in heaven. Yeah, I think maybe there might have been a little push from the president to be like, hey, let's get this done. I like this theory.

They did have that call. It's not like there's been no public information that that's happened. He had a call with all the commissioners late last week, so it's not completely out of the realm of possibility. I like that. I got a new episode of Mail Time out right now

where we jumped into a whole bunch of conspiracy theories, started off with Corona and ended up spiraling into Bitcoin. And we touched upon the blog that Dante wrote with the American Stonehenge. So a lot of conspiracy talk on Mail Time today if you want to go listen to that. I took it upon myself to expand upon Aubrey Huff's conspiracy theory about the meteor. Did you hear that one, Rock?

Oh, God. What the fuck did he say? Well, so this was probably the stupidest conspiracy theory corona-related since the Tom Hanks is a pedophile conspiracy theory. This was that. But I took it and I put it in a more realistic, if you will, context. It's not realistic at all. But his theory or the conspiracy theory that he perpetuated was that a comet is coming towards Earth and we are about to be hit by a meteor that is going to wipe out all of life and that all of the heads of governments heads of state have known this

since november 19th and that this plan they they infected the world with a you know deadly but not too deadly disease and this is where it totally falls apart to make everyone spend time with their families in the last days before the meteor wipes out the planet they didn't want anarchy in the streets they didn't want people freaking out so they said let's get them a little bit sick make them stay home and little do they know that they're about to get blasted to death by this meteor. And the meteor missed us. It was close in terms of the universe, not close in terms of what we're used to. It was 16 times further than the moon is from the planet. But I can't imagine the government was really caring about, like,

let's make sure everyone stays with their families when we're about to be fucking eradicated. But what I do like is what if there's some meteor coming? What if there's some extinction event coming? And we all know that the Elon Musk's of the world and the rich people of the world, they've got their bunkers. And I'm sure Elon's got a fucking arc ready to go to get off this planet and get to safety. And so so think about it, Rocket. If you're going to take anybody with you, who are you going to take? It's going to be the Tom Hanks's and the Idris Elba's and the Kevin Durant's and all the

rich people and the pretty people and the famous people and the athletes and the talented people. And so that's to get them a little Corona. Everyone else has to stay inside. They don't even realize what's going on. Meanwhile, they're filling up the fucking the space yacht to just get off this planet because we're all doomed and we're about to be hit by an apocalyptic meteor. Your thoughts? Well, I can tell you right now that that entire theory is false.

Why is that? Because Elon Musk would have asked me to come with him. Oh, you think that you're making the cut, do you? Yeah. Obviously, I would have been on that list, and I was not informed about any of this, so I'm going to call bullshit on that. I actually...

Wasn't there, like, a public report about this meteor, like, weeks ago? Like, we did know about it, but everyone's just like, eh, you know, we hear about that shit all the time. There's always, like, fucking reports about asteroids coming for Earth, and, like, everyone, like know, we hear about that all the time. There's always there's always like fucking reports about asteroids coming for Earth and like everyone like retweets it for a day and then they go about their lives. Pretty much. Yes, this does happen. I guess this one was like the closest one in a long time, again, all relative to like the universe. And then Joe Rogan had retweeted something not too long ago that said like astronomers think like within the next 10 years for whatever reason they've been looking at their models and trends or whatever that like

there is going to be a meteor that hits us i don't know why i don't know how when you're talking about a trillion years of the universe existing i don't know how you can predict anything into a 10 a 10 year window but if there's some sort of thought that the big one's coming and we're going to go the way of the dinosaurs you better believe that elon and bill and jeff is taking all the rich and pretty people with them and they're getting the fuck off this place yeah i don't care if a fucking meteor comes at this point i've i've basically done everything that i set out to do originally so i know it's all downhill from here. You feast.

If a meteor wants to come, then let it come. If I told you a meteor was coming right now, Casey, what would you do? I think I would just accept it. Like, whatever. I would just hang. You wouldn't, Casey. Yes, I would. You would just chill in your apartment apartment or would you go do anything?

Well, we can't do anything right now. Well, if a meteor's coming, then it doesn't matter. Now, does it? Well, I mean, what am I going to do? Break into these empty bars? Like you're asking me to be a criminal? Wouldn't it be funny? Sometimes you think about these things and it's like, what if somehow you knew?

What if you knew right and somehow an alien a fucking higher power whatever you want to call it tells you for real here's a meteor it's coming i got proof like what would you how do you tell other people i think about this a lot too because like one time i was really really fucking convinced that there was some ghost activity going on in my house and i I was like, how do I tell this to people without sounding crazy? Because you're going to sound like a stark raving lunatic. But if you had the proof, if you really knew it, like, what would you what would you how would you tell me? How would you convince me?

I feel like you have to I feel like you have to tell your family first, like the people that you are going to be like, listen, I know this sounds sounds nuts so you at least get like them on your side of it you're going to sound fucking crazy anyways like there's no way that you're going to be able to convince a mass amount of people that it's right but i feel like you even convince your friends and family though uh well right now if you said to your mom and dad if you said to your mom and dad, like, this is happening. I feel like this day and age that people would be like, this is some sort of mental health issue. Like, you've been under a lot of stress. It was probably just a nightmare. There's just like so many more plausible explanations in this day and age for things that seem completely far fetched. I said,

when I, when there was a night where I was sleeping in my house before I moved to my apartment and I heard undeniable, like footsteps going back and forth. It wasn't a fucking squirrel. It wasn't, I knew both of the kids were asleep. Caitlin was asleep. There was nothing,

but both footsteps. And was like i know this sounds so ridiculous but i was like genuinely scared in the moment and i thought we should have you know i have my pineapple emoji for breakups i need another emoji that signals like and you only use it in case of emergency but if i ever send you the fucking you know unicorn emoji you know that i i mean fucking business and the apocalypse is coming i feel like people would think that you're crazy but at the same time it's like like anything that you say like i mean what who are you going to try to convince and if they think you're crazy then you just move on to the next one be like listen this is actually happening which is why it goes back to like if i knew the apocalypse was happening or a meteor was gonna

hit the earth like you have no option but to accept it so if you tell people and say okay this is gonna happen and they don't accept it that's on them yeah that's that's their fucking problem yeah it's like what am i like what what i would do if i knew that was gonna happen is i would go to the people that i love the most and i would want to spend time with them and be like, listen, I know that a meteor is going to hit the earth in like a week, but I'm not scared of dying. So fuck it. Like you either believe me or you don't, but you can either spend this week with me or you can not. If your loved ones don't listen though, that's where you'd get upset. Like I don't give a fuck about the public. I tweet this out. Everyone tells me I'm crazy. All right, go ahead. Fine. You can waste your last days doing whatever the fuck.

But I want my family to believe me and listen to me and spend it the right way. I don't think they believe me either. I feel like my parents would. They probably for a second think that I'm crazy. But if I was just like, listen, when I was like 22 and going through a lot of dark shit, maybe you wouldn't. But I'm in my 30s now, and I feel like for the most part, I have my life together. You need to listen to me. Even if you don't fully believe me, just let me come to you for the next week. And you'll see, like, let me just like spend this time with you. But I mean,

I also feel like anything that you say, people are going to take, they're going to think you're crazy because of the mental health stuff. So it's like, whatever, like, if you know, it's happening, you have to just try to, I'm not going to spend an entire week trying to convince people that they're wrong. Like, you're the only one in empty bars just being like, I swear to God, guys,

it doesn't matter. The coronavirus doesn't matter. We're fucking dead by Sunday. Don't worry. I have some ride or die friends that I know would be like, all right, you might be fucking crazy, but you can,

but we can come, you know, we can stay together for this. But again, it's like, I just accept, I, we've talked about this. We talk about death on the show. Like, all right, you might be fucking crazy, but we can come, you know, we can stay together for this. But again, it's like, I just accept, we talk about this when we talk about death on the show. Like, I'm not scared of dying. Like, I don't want to die, but I'm not scared of it whatsoever. So if I knew for a fact that the whole world was going to die in a week, I would do my due diligence. And I'd be like, all right, like, here we go.

I have to accept this. Well, let's hope Aubrey huff and the comet are wrong um they're wrong people give a shit about people spending time with their family that's what's so funny to me is like that's the conspiracy theory that all the governments were like let's make sure everyone goes home to mom and dad before the media yeah get the fuck out of here and they're worried about anarchy in the streets like again none of this matters if a fucking meteor is going to hit so uh yeah that one falls apart unless they're trying to get all the fancy people off the planet and rocket i got bad news for you i don't think you would make the cut well you're you're full of shit i think if it wasn't killing

all the old people i would think that maybe this would be it like Like, hey, this is the lottery. We're going to take 2% of the world with us. Did you get Corona? That means you got a golden ticket out of here. But there's too many old people getting it and dying that aren't worthwhile. But when it's all the fancy people picking up, it's almost like, yeah, this is your ticket in. This is like a bracelet to get into the hottest party in town.

It's called get the fuck off the planet because everyone's dead. I don't really uh i genuinely think that if there were a true apocalyptic type scenario uh as long as i'd be able to like get back to boston for like the end of it i don't think i would be freaking out because it's like it's not like uh like if if none of us are going to make it, then who cares? Yeah, there's no, like, dying is, what sucks about dying is that you die and everyone else keeps going. If everybody else dies with you, it's like, whatever.

Yeah, the only thing that I would hate about death is, like, FOMO. Right, right. And there's just no FOMO once, well, there's really no FOMO once you're dead either. I mean, I guess if you believe in the afterlife, you might, but. I would haunt the shit out of you, Kevin. If you got to live and I didn't, I would just haunt you. I mean, I feel like we would be, that would be like a good, I think we'd have a good relationship if you were dead. Yeah, like I would be like a cool ghost.

Like I would, like I would just kind a cool ghost like I would uh like a wingman for you like I would be uh I would spy on whoever you wanted me to and then I would relay back the information just give me that intel yes now we're cooking can you just do me a favor you'd make my life a living hell yeah you would haunt the shit out of Casey

I would literally just like hover over Casey's bed while she was sleeping and then wake her up in the middle of the night with like red eyeballs. Could you imagine Casey's walking in her apartment? Who painted these walls? What is going on here? I feel like another bottle of conditioner exploded in my shower. He'd be a cool ghost. I think that he would be the world's worst ghost option for me.

I honestly think that. Like, if I had to sit right now, like, all the people that I know and that I'm friends with, like, outside of being, you know, on the internet or on radio or whatever, like, true friends in real life, Jared is by far the worst option. That's a great question. Who is the last person you would want to haunt you in this? Jared Kravitz.

Jared Kravitz. Rocket, who are you picking? I would be a motherfucker of a ghost. Who would be the worst option to haunt me? Oh, man. Probably the fucking Fenway Park organist. You got beef with him? Oh, yeah. We a fucking Fenway Park organist. You got beef with him? Oh, yeah.

We fucking hate each other. Over what? I don't think I know the story. Big time. This was, I guess basically what happened was, like, whenever Barstool got in trouble for, like, taking content, not crediting or whatever. Right.

This Section 10 intro, uh, I think like Pete found like a V like a family park organist, YouTube video that he didn't even post. Like it was someone else's video. Right. And, uh, we took like a sample of him playing the organ and it was part of like the, the intro to section 10. And it was like that since 2015, up until last spring. So for like four years, uh,

it was just like a little sample of him playing the organ. And again, not even his song. Like it wasn't even like an original song, right? Not his YouTube video, not his original song. And then when people were like going nuts about barstool on Twitter,

he decided to jump in the fray and he was like, yeah. And there's actually a barstool podcast that steals my work. And then we figured out that he was talking about us. And I was like, this motherfucker never reached out about this. Like he never like said, Hey, I don't, I don't want you to do that. Or Hey, like, can you change it? Or Hey, can you credit me or something? And then I was was like first of all you're an employee of the boston red sox so if if i wanted to use that sample of your work

i wouldn't even have to ask you because it's not your original composition uh and it turned into like this big pissing matchup so we had like a section 10 listener that plays the organ send us the exact same song exact same thing record it yeah we were like fuck you dude like we were trying to like yeah we were like paying homage to like you being one of the sounds of fenway that everyone enjoys that's the thing it's a positive like how about you reach out and you say oh my god i'm flattered you guys use that hey let me know if you want me like, play any other songs or like we can do a weekly a weekly intro or like I never get when people have Photoshop skills, musical skills, editing skills. And they complain about people using it rather than saying like, hey, yeah, you use that one for free. Like, how about the next one?

You know, we work out a deal. I'll make you you know, I'll free. Like, how about the next one? You know, we work out a deal. I'll make you, you know, I'll do it better, whatever. Like that's the name of the game is getting like recognized and getting used. And then you parlay that it's so short sighted to pick a fight over this bullshit. Yeah.

And I mean, like part of the intro has like the, the, the red socks, like public address announcer. Like he did like a custom intro, uh, for the podcast. It's like the actual, like PA announcer. So yeah, like a custom intro for the podcast.

It's like the actual IPA announcer. So yeah, I don't know. He, he wanted to go that route and we wanted to go the route that we went, which is fuck you then. Like we're going to just have someone else to record the same exact song, which is,

we'll cut you out of any exposure and you can just sit there, fucking play and take me out to the ball game until the meteor hits. Let's take one call before we hit break. We got Lou in Chicago on the line talking to little aliens. What's up, Lou? Hey, I was just, I called in, and you guys were talking about if you found out you had seven days left and the world was going to end.

And so I guess I look at it differently. Like, I wouldn't tell anyone, because I think it would just be more of a burden of knowledge. You're going to end up freaking more people out. I say you spend, like, three or four days just taking a lap, like, seeing the people you love the most, getting a few more good time, chuckles in with the people you love the most, and then take out the biggest cash loan you can get and then end your, like, weekend in a pizza or something like that by yourself. Yeah, I feel you, and that's probably the more honorable

and respectable thing to do. But I just know when I got news to break, when I know something and you don't, I'm fucking letting you know. I'm telling you, like, yo, I got a secret. You want to hear it? We're all fucked. So we should do that. You know, there's no point in.

I'm the same way my wife gets her Christmas present like December 20th. Yeah. Once once, you know, you're about to to pull some shit and they're going to be happy or excited. There's no way I'm holding on to that one. But maybe maybe at like the last last minute, you know what I mean? Like, I don't want to I don't want to panic you for a week. I'll panic you for like a weekend. You know, speaking of weekend, let's go to break right now,

and I'm going to pose a question to you. That idiot that we work with, Coley Mick, was tweeting about this, and dead wrong. Is Sunday the first day of the week or the last day of the week? After the break, we'll hear our answers. You can weigh in, call us up, talk about anything you want, 833-85-STOOL. Is Sunday the first or last day of the week?

This is a no-brainer, if you ask me. Come on back on Power 85. It was Easter this weekend, so you know what I did? I had a little Easter brunch. I popped open Zoom. I Zoomed with my family while I drank some ice cold refreshing Miller Lights. Because there's nothing better than the family beer. You know, we talk about best beers.

And one of the best ones is when you're going to have to do some family stuff, especially Easter. I mean, let's be honest. Easter, it's the worst. You're always in uncomfortable clothes. You got to do some heavy religious stuff. And then now this time it's like over the computer, but people still get dressed up anyway, even though you're at home and we know it's completely fake. No one's even going to church,

but you're wearing comfortable clothes. It's crazy. So even though I was in the comfort of my own home, I'm still doing some weird holiday stuff. I open up a couple of cold Miller lights and that gets me through the whole thing. In that moment, all you need is you and your beer and your second beer and your third beer.

Always drink responsibly. But on a Zoom Easter brunch, you can go ahead and have – you're going to have a six-pack because that's what Miller Lite is here for right now. During these social distancing times, they're going to get you through it. And it's not just like, oh, we're going to survive it. We're also going to enjoy it.

I just opened up Twitter, Instagram, and I'm seeing a video from Zah with no hair talking to Asa Akira for the first time, explaining how he used to sell her bootleg DVDs to pay his way through high school life. What a different time. What a different time. In the first floor, boxes still being unpacked, bald Zah leaning up against

the pillar, like looking all fresh and cool, trying to kick game to an old school coworker, Asa. What a fucking, what a lifetime ago. I miss Zah. I miss Z a lifetime ago. I miss Zah. I was thinking about that. I feel like guys like Zah and Rudy and Frankie and guys that I don't work on

a show with but were either producing my show or filming me a lot or sit next to me or whatever. I haven't texted with them as much. Those are the people. You still see your friends and family. You still talk to all your close co-workers, you know, whoever, girlfriend, boyfriend, all that shit. But those like tangential people who you like that you just don't have the same amount of communication with, they're just like gone. Sucks.

Yeah, it's like it's a friend, like a friend's friend. Like they're still your friends. And like you obviously still enjoy time with them. But like whenever you're completely away from them, it's like not on the list of like, oh shit, I need to check on that person. But then when you do check on them, it feels really good. Like I, Trent is my desk mate.

And like last week I was like, I need to talk to Trent. And so I reached out to him and I was like, I feel better about that now. I know he's alive and he's well. And by the way, when you do the check-in with people, you're like a hero, you know? Oh yeah. I've been getting alive and he's well. And by the way, when you do the check-in with people, you're like a hero. I've been getting so many of my friends' wives being like,

oh my god, thank you for checking in. You're so sweet. All I did was send a text message and said, how you doing? Did you say it's not sad, Rocket? No, I said I'm not sad that I haven't talked to Frankie. Yeah, see, I miss Frankie. I miss Frankie too., you have Frankie too.

Like Frankie, when we did Friday night pints, he was like, he said, he was like, last time we were talking, I was fucking arguing with you about a guy holding a camera in center field.

It was great. So even the shit where we were disagreeing at each other's throats, we, we both, I like that stuff. I miss that. Yeah. Remember when like our biggest problem every day was like whatever

dumb argument we were gonna get in our little corner about like who can eat the most fucking hamburgers and stuff like that was fun i miss those things frankie loves that shit is his birthday coming up rocket for maybe for his birthday i'm just gonna pick a fight with him we can argue i i have no idea when his birthday is i just remember i just remember his last birthday he looked at me and he said do you have anything to say to me and i i pulled up my phone i searched through our text thread he did not wish me a happy birthday and then i put my phone down and i said no no i do not so i he did not wish me a happy birthday on fr, so there goes another fucking birthday. That's another year gone by of no talking to Frankie. Oh, shit.

Done. See ya. That's a fucking list. If he didn't do that on purpose, he is an idiot. Because now he's, like, I feel like you have two options. One, you either have to do it and suck it up so you guys don't fight for the year. Or two, you're so petty that you purposely don't. If he just forgot to wish you a happy birthday. I don't know.

I don't know if he if he was aware of it and made it intentional. But if he did find out it was Rockets birthday, he intentionally would have. Frankie wants like death feuds to go to the grave. There's no way he would be like, oh, no, I don't want to argue with Rocket for the year. He would encourage that shit. So I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but he's happy. That's what I'm saying. If it was just an accident,

that's a myth. He didn't get to be petty on Jared's birthday if he didn't know it was his birthday. Frankie wants to be petty. He loves that. If Frankie wants me to wish him a happy birthday, then he would have wished me a happy birthday so that I would wish him one. Yeah, but I don't know.

It's at what cost. I would like a happy birthday too, but I'm not going to bow down to anybody and cave to their demands. I guess. But if he specifically asked me if I was going to wish him a happy birthday, and because he didn't wish me one, I'm not going to. So, like, it's his move. Like, he started it.

Right, the ball's in his court. Right, right, right. Well, we have to wait a full calendar year. I feel like the Frankie and Rocket feud will rage on forever. And after this bullshit I have seen from Coley Mick, I have no choice but to rebuke him as well. And I hope you guys are on the same page as me because I don't want to have to do it to you.

Is Sunday the first day or the last day of the week? The last day of the week. Casey? The first day of the week. Casey, what? Yes. Casey, Sunday is the last day of the weekend. No, listen.

I think that you have to have a week. You have to have bookend off days. You have to start the week with an off day and you have to end the week of the off day. So you don't start the week on an off day. You start the week on a work day. No. Well, OK. Also, and I know you guys are going to mock me and make fun of me. Here comes the God talk. No, no, no, no. I'm'm not gonna try to explain why it's the first day of the week because of god but when i was growing up and then even now still like sunday you go to church and it starts your week off differently than like we wake up on saturday like on sunday now i wake up i watch the nfl i go to church it starts my week a new week like

sunday has always started a new week to me. And by the way, I haven't even seen what Coley said. I was just, I didn't want to go look at it during the commercial break. Cause I actually wanted to be able to give this answer. Like calendars start with Sunday. So your argument is going against calendars for the rest of time. No calendars start where, where like the, the, the month starts starts. You could start in the middle of it, but it – No, no, no. You can get a blank calendar anywhere you want. You can fill it in, and it's always Sunday to Saturday on a calendar.

Even if it starts on the 1st, like if you put July the 1st, that's what they do. The top row will start Sunday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, the top row always starts on Sunday. How can the first day of the week be in the weekend? But I feel like it's like the weekend is you go, basically, if I could take Sunday and like split it in half, because like I feel like when you wake up on Sunday morning, like, yeah, you go to brunch, you can still have it. But Sunday afternoon and Sunday night, you're getting ready for your week.

For the week. The Sunday scaries is because you're like, oh, fuck, another week is starting. Because it's starting on Sunday. No, you're nervous that it's, you don't want Monday to come. The weekend is like, okay, fine. Like, we're going to go do whatever we want. I don't have any scaries because guess what? I'm going to be able to wake up tomorrow and it doesn't matter you start your week on sunday knowing you're

going to work on monday you don't just wake up on monday like bam it's a new week yes you do no you don't you check your email you get back to work everybody waits all week for football for the sunday fun day shit it's not like we begin with that it's the end of the weekend no i i do think it's weird where it's like i think that it's the weekend like it's obviously saturday and sunday is your day off and like it's the weekend but i do feel like it can be a bookend like to have bookends you have to have one that starts and one that ends so it's okay to have a weekend that is a bookend this is preposterous this is poppy like when you have books weekend that is a bookend. This is preposterous. This is poppy. Like when you have books,

like when you have bookends, like they're both called ends. It doesn't have anything to do with where they end up. It's what they do. So it's like you have a row of books. You have to have one that holds it up. Oh, that I can get down with.

That I can get down with. Now we're getting very fucking like philosophical here. Like there is no start or end. There's only, there's only like points on a line. Okay. Yeah. But that's like what I'm saying. It's like, that's what I mean. It's like, you have to have bookends. Like, it's like, it doesn't actually mean the end of something. It means it has to hold it up. So for me, a week, it Monday through Friday is held up

by Saturday, starting it or Sunday Sunday starting it, Saturday ending it. Okay, here's another question. When you, like, think about the days of the week, in your mind, is there, what do you, like, see? Like, is there, like, it's hard to explain. It's like, so this all came about because my sister once told us that in her brain, like like when she kind of closes her eyes and she's visualizing like her schedule, her schedule, her calendar. She thinks of the month. This is so weird. She thinks she calls it her month swirl.

So in her mind, like the cat, like the months of the year like swirl around and what was really fucking crazy was that when she said it me and my brother started making fun of her and my mom was like oh yeah no i have the same thing so they visualize like january is here and then february like curves up and then march like comes around and it like is almost like a yellow brick road sort of like spiral. I see what you mean. And when I think of the days of the week, I think of it goes Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday across to Saturday. And then Sunday is on top of Saturday. And then it goes across and it's like steps. So if Sunday's on top of Saturday, like a step, wouldn't that start a

new level, which means it starts a new week. If your argument is that Monday starts a new week, then Monday would start the next level. Yes. In, in the way that I visualize it, I would agree that that would, that would signify the start of it. But I'm just talking about the way my brain sees the days. I definitely think of it as the end of the week, but I think of like that. That's the way it like appears in my brain. I think that I kind of like the steps thing, but I really see mine as almost like, I guess, cause I'm looking at a calendar. Like I'm the loser that still has the desk calendar,

like the physical month calendar. Cause I like to be able to see my own month. I think I just see it in straight lines. Just like Sunday to Monday. And then like a block goes down. No, I see it as like Sunday to Saturday is just like a level. And then the next level, like the next week is another level. Yeah, like I see it in a linear line. Yeah.

Do you see anything, Rocket? No. Okay. rocket um no i love it because there's probably some like psychoanalysis that can go on it's like those like oh for sure shack rorschach tests like how do you see things and what does it mean and the rocket's just a vapid empty abyss of nothing well here's the thing kevin uh can i just tell you how much i've enjoyed the last 10 minutes of this radio program because i think it's one of one of the first times where i had a an opposite viewpoint of casey but i didn't have to like make the case and you i could just sit here and be like yep kevin go off kevin do thing, Kevin. And I didn't have to like.

Kevin ended up seeing my point, though. Like, you never, you never actually see my point. Like, Kevin actually, like, once I got to the bookend. That's why. Do what? And here we go. So, so much for the whole idea of you're not going to get involved. I mean, my whole, I don't know.

I don't know what he said, but. I said your points stink. I, the way that I look at it is obviously the similar viewpoint of Kevin where it's like, all right, if you, if it's Sunday, I recognize that the calendar is wrong. Like the calendar thinks that Sunday is the first day, but it's not. Because Monday it's like the first day of school. It's the first day to go back to work.

Like Monday is always the first day of the shit that you don't want to do. It's always the starting point. And then you're, you're scratching and clawing to get to those off days. And then when those off days are done, then you have to start again five day period of shit that you don't want to do. So yeah, I think Monday is the first day, but if the calendar wants to argue that from the calendar is an asshole too. Let's take,

I don't think that that point stinks. I honestly see both sides of it. I personally think that you have to have two ends to hold the week up. I would like it on record that I'm not going to insult Jared for no reason. And that was a good point. Let's go to Chris in New Jersey. What do you got, Chris? Fuck you. What do you got, Chris?

Fuck you. Hey, guys. We've covered the whole Sunday-Monday debate. You know, I know on the calendar, obviously, you know, in a week or whatever, Sunday is the official first day. I'm not going to deny that, but I don't think it will ever feel like the first day. You know, Sunday, you know, Friday to me, like once you're out of work, that starts the weekend. That goes to Saturday. Then I always feel like Sunday is just the day you watch football and then

you get ready. It's like, oh shit. Well, yeah. When you put everything off on Friday, you don't answer your emails. You don't answer your work calls. You're like, I'll deal with that. You're not like, let me deal with that on Sunday. When things start again, you're like, let me put it all the way off until the next shift of all my shittiness starts,

which is Monday. Yeah. And it's like, you know, Friday is the start of getting into Saturday, basically. And then Saturday is just, you know, a day you just do whatever and you just have fun because it's like, oh, I don't, you know, I don't go to work tomorrow. So, you know, I get to relax tomorrow. But Sunday is when the countdown, the countdown begins to Monday morning. Let's go to Paul in St. Louis.

Paul, what do you got, first day or last day? What's up, guys? Big fan. Just first off, I want to say, listen to all your guys' podcasts, listen to the show every day. It's making this shit a little easier. Thanks, man. First thing, Monday is 100% the first day of the week.

I grew up watching Rams football. Sunday always ended the shitty part of the week. And we lose every game. And then Monday starts, so we got a whole new week. I remember in third grade telling Mrs. Anderson that she was an idiot. I got sent to the principal's office. And still to this day I don't know why it hasn't been changed

that Monday is the first day of the week you guys have a great rest of your day that's almost like a reverse situation most people are like Sunday's great Monday stinks he's like my Sundays are always miserable which I feel him as a Jets fan it's like let's just get to Monday don't have to watch football anymore

and we can just start this whole fucking nightmare over again. But Kevin, I have a, I have a devastating, a devastating thing to my point that I just realized I was looking at Coley's Twitter. So I was trying to see his arguments. I guess this started from like a random person putting a poll out like this. Adam, Adam, whatever. I just clicked on the tweet at some point. Apparently last night when I was drunk, I voted last.

Because now I would like to say that I believe, I don't care if you would have asked me this yesterday, whatever. I would always say it's the first day of the week. But at some point, my Twitter voted last, and I have no idea how that happened. Are you just blacking out by yourself? No, no, no. I didn't black out. I remember everything, but I was just scrolling through Twitter last night, and I must have either hit the wrong one.

I don't even remember the same conversation. Or maybe. Here's the thing. I will say I have no shame here. I had one bottle of wine last night. That is not enough to black out. That's not that crazy at all. But I don one bottle of wine last night. That is not enough to black out. That's not that crazy at all. But I don't even remember

seeing that tweet. So it's a little bit alarming to me because I've already voted on it and I don't even remember reading that and a one bottle of wine would not do that to me. I think that that just means you were probably mindlessly scrolling Twitter and your knee jerk reaction, your gut reaction was

just the right one. And that it's the last day of the week. No, I had, but I just don't even remember reading it. Like this is alarming to me. I feel like there's a bigger problem here than what day of the week Sunday is to me.

Maybe you've been hacked. Well, if I got hacked and that's what they decided to do, that's fine. Like if a ghost wants to hack me and vote, honestly, no, you know what?

You know what? If someone were to hack me, the most damage they could do someone were to hack me the most damage they could do would be to find all the twitter polls that i care about and vote the wrong way on them so that people could be like look at it you voted you voted for the patriots you voted for the yankees on here i'm like no i didn't i swear i don't think people can see that right can people see what you vote for yeah no you're right yeah so that's that's that's the saving grace now if you really want to so that's that's that's a saving grace

now if you really want to get technical with that that would be the worst thing ever you're right like if it was like you could see what you voted and then people could go fuck up your voting that would be a horrible thing to happen be cold takes exposed fucking non-stop speaking of cold on twitter the coldest just like liked every like people liked people that you started favoriting, like all the Gun Girls tweets or something? If you went through and you favorited Darren Rovell's tweet, donation shaming Jeff Bezos for sending $100 million. $100 million! And his reaction as well, that's not a lot. And that it's not just that idiot Darren Revelle.

It's a lot of people. It's kind of stunning coming from someone who's like actually in the in media with a checkmark and a lot of followers and an alleged comprehension of like business and money and those things. But Revelle was the latest to join in on net worth shaming. And it's like a not new, but I feel like it's just popularized right now that everybody compares your net worth and compares how much money you give. And well, that would be the equivalent of me just donating three dollars. So this doesn't mean anything at all. Fuck off. A hundred million dollars is a hundred million dollars. And I don't give a fuck what your percentage of net worth is.

When the Food Bank of America says, well, now we have $100 million to work with, that's a lot better than when they say, well, we have $56 to work with from Joe Schmo. But it's really, really important because he only makes $25,000 a year. No, they need more money to pay for more food to help more people. So $100 million fucking dollars is going to go a seriously long way and I don't care what your value is. And that's the other thing.

Net worth doesn't mean that Jeff Bezos has $120 million cash to dole out. Yeah, his Amazon worth and his inherent intrinsic value and his and his stock value all that's 120 million dollars it's not like he has 120 billion in the bank breaking off 100 million cash for a donation is a big fucking deal dick yeah and it's also like a huge amount of money like you said said, for the organization. Like I hate the whole idea. Like it's like me giving $5.

Well, Karen, your fucking $5 isn't doing anything by coronavirus. A hundred million dollars is the only donation better than a hundred million dollars is a hundred million and one. And so I don't care what what nobody cares. You're when you explain what your what your salary is and how much of a percentage this is, that doesn't put more food on people's tables. And to see the – let me get their exact Twitter. Where's my phone? They dunked on Rovell and actually tagged me and Barstool in the picture. But the United Food Bank of America or whatever was getting in the mud which i think

is an unbelievable move for like a a charity like that but they uh they tweeted at him this morning and said um i guess they read my article whatever yeah the united food bank which is like blue check official twitter page for the united food bank and they put up a uh a screenshot of his tweet and that's the other thing. That motherfucker deleted it and said, well, I just don't want to argue with people. That's not how it works. Say something fucking dumb. In this game, when you do social media for a living, you got to take your fucking lashings.

When you start out a tweet that says, I'm not into donation shaming, but, and then go on and donation shame someone, you're an asshole. If someone donates any money, it's a good thing. And if someone donates a hundred million dollars, it's a great thing that you should just say, wow, that's a really nice gesture. More people should do that. Great. Awesome. Good. Dick. Can't stand that. You dick. I mean, you're completely right.

Like I understand people want to make percentages and like, and not even just talking about like assets versus net worth, whatever. That's fine and good. If you give somebody $5 or you give them $100 million, it's a massive difference no matter where it comes from. The idea that people are looking at bank accounts to justify this, it doesn't matter. If I give a homeless person $5 or I give a homeless person $100 million, guess what? One means something. One doesn't.

I don't understand what people are arguing here. Yeah, it's not just I guess they were doing it with the I guess Jack donated like a billion or something. So people were flexing on that, which is like, yeah, that's incredible. And he and he deserves more credit than Bezos, but not because of percentage of net worth, just because of the total number of money or the amount of money. I mean, donating a billion is like, is that real life? Like it means like a billion, like, you know, I write you a check. You like, you now have a billion dollars. How much is he worth?

I think he's worth like single digit billions. So if he just ponied up one whole billion, that truly is remarkable. I'm not going to shame anybody else's. I'm just going to give that dude extra praise for giving up like, you know, a fifth or a third or whatever of his entire money. But is that even like possible to like, are you like transferring like a wire transfer of like,

or is it like, we'll do this over the next like 50 years or it's just such a large sum of money that I feel like you, you couldn't even donate that if you wanted to. Where it's just like, bam, here's a billion. Billion. I've had this vision of people thinking that all these billionaires are like Scrooge McDuck and they have just a vault of coins that they dive into. And that it's not all liquid, you dumb fucks. I would love to know how much those guys really do have in the bank though like how much right now when you look at

jeff bezos's checking account and his savings account is it 500 million it's not the same thing is it yeah you know it's like we can't visualize like we like we're i'm looking thinking like oh i log on to wells fargo and it's like here's your savings account here's your checking account and here's your mortgage like they just don't see looking, thinking like, oh, I log on to Wells Fargo and it's like, here's your savings account. Here's your checking account. And here's your mortgage. Like they just don't see it that way. Like, do they not even have that? Like, are they just on, you know, chase and, and.

Oh, I doubt, I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I would assume they do, but I feel like it's like, once you hit a certain amount of money, it's like, did you see, I know we're about to run out of time, but did you see Drake's house? Did you see the photos of Drake's house? No, I'm sure it's fucking no i'm sure it's fucking kevin it's fucking crazy it's like a 50 000 square foot house that looks like the versace mansion

it has an nba regulation court whatever like my thought is is like and he built it like from the ground so it's like he has to have money somewhere that he can just start paying all these people but it's like probably like hundreds of millions of dollars can they just take it on a credit card like how does that work uh yeah that's what i i it's almost like there's a whole next level of of wealth that it's like my brain can't even i don't even know how you logistically do it like how do you get that money to them uh i have an entourage does have a black card i know that he's got a black card and that has no limit God that would be so nice huh

I can't wait like I'm so sick of not being rich I'm gonna be rich soon I guess so It's gonna be a great five years Kevin Once five years from now Let's cross our fingers I'm so bad at the lottery I'm so bad at not being rich right now

Just like come come on. Just make me rich, world. Give me something, universe. Break me off. I've been asking nicely for a long time. Fuck. All right. Anyway, let's wrap it up here.

Bottom line is Sunday is the last day of the week. The meteor is coming. The rich people are getting off the planet. We will be left behind. Rocky will not be included in the fancy people. And he's also, I think, going to kill the Fenway Park organist. Who knows? You never know.

Chicago boys are up next. We'll be back tomorrow, same time, same place for a Thursday edition. We'll keep getting weird with it, keep keeping you entertained. Until then, everybody, stay inside. It's not over yet. Keep doing your part. Stay healthy, stay lazy, stay inside. It's not over yet. Keep doing your part. So stay healthy,

stay lazy, stay hot. We'll see you next time.
