Marcelo Mayer and the Red Sox Opening Day Lineup // 5 Questions with Jim Murray // The Final Word - 2/27 (Hour 4)

Is Felger and Maz your favorite afternoon show? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. For Felger and Maz. And Maz. All right, fourth and final hour, Felger and Maz here on... I haven't heard Chris Olave's name being brought up. He's going to be a free agent. 100 catches last year. Hasn't played with a real quarterback yet. Is he a free agent? Are we sure he's a free agent? After next year. After next year, right. Yes. Okay, so I love Chris Olave when he's on. Where's his head at? Where's he been the last couple of years? A lot of concussions. Oh, so that's what it is. I knew there was something. He had a good year, though. He had 100 catches this year. He was over 1,100 yards. And do we know he's not playing? Sorry to cut you off, but do we know he's not playing with a halfway decent quarterback? That Tyler Shuck actually looked okay when they put him in. They finished with six wins, I think. They weren't that terrible. There were worse teams. I think the fact that he was half decent helped Olave's year. I love Olave's game. Tough. You know, is he? He's on a 50-year option this coming season. Okay, so he has not gotten the contract yet. Correct. So now you're talking. Big dough. If he's healthy, high draft pick and big money. Yep, big doughnuts. I would love it. I'd be pleasantly surprised. I just don't feel they're going to be in that kind of market. No, me neither. And I like the player. I saw his name pop up somewhere the other day, and then I saw he's up for a contract. and I sort of dismissed it. John in the car, thanks for hanging. Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum, what do you got? Yeah, I think the big issue when Tatum comes back is who's the offense going to run through, and I think both guys have verbalized that they want the ball to run through them. When Brown kept saying, I've made sacrifices, I've made sacrifices, I've made sacrifices, I think what he was really saying is, hey, Tatum, I want to run the ball, and you need to make the sacrifice for the rest of this year that I made for the last eight years. And I think when Tatum was talking about, oh, how am I going to intertwine? I think what he's saying is I'm not standing in the corner and waiting for Brown to throw me the ball. And I think the only way that this dynamic can work is if Tatum makes it known that, hey, guys, this is Brown's team. I'm just here to add what it is that I can coming off the bench, and I'll do what it takes. I don't think Tatum can do that, and I don't think it's going to work. I think there's going to be a lot of dissension. Okay. Again, I think you're disrespecting these guys, but you might be right. I'm, as I've tried to make clear, I'm really trying to look on the bright side of these guys and... Don't get caught up in the petty bull crap is what you're hoping. Give them the benefit of the doubt, Murray. Thank you. I know I couldn't come up with that. Give them the benefit of the doubt that they're going to put aside that crap and figure it out. I think they've earned that these are not like there's some teams if this were James Harden coming back to work with Michael Westbrook I say no shot they get a couple of putzes you guys don't know how to win like I don't respect those guys Brown and Tatum should have earned a measure of respect that they're going to figure this out but I do agree it's on Tatum more than Brown he's walking in midstream and look the other like if I were and I don't know how Missoula is going to handle it I mean, you know, Gasper said he thinks Mizzoula's going to cater to Tatum. But what they should do is start with Tatum being a sidecar. It lets them integrate, you know, or re-enter is a better word. Does a guy getting himself a five-episode documentary series seem like a guy that would want to be a sidecar in any way, shape, or form? No. I'm with you. It would be great if he came off the bench and would be on limited minutes. It's not going to play out that way. So the bench thing, like if he starts but plays four minutes and then, you know, I'm more interested in who ends the game. Or, you know. No, no, but I just mean in terms of who they run it through, you know. No, but so there's really two questions. The start, okay, so he starts. But then he sits down in six minutes and he doesn't play the end of the second quarter or the four, you know what I mean? Like, that's less important to me than who does the ball go through? Right. It should go through Jalen Brown. To start, I agree. 100%. Yep, absolutely. I mean, not even close. No, and really, it would make more sense for Tatum that way anyway at the beginning just to kind of get into the game flow. You know, like just be the guy who spots up and you want to cut to the hoop or whatever, that's fine, but that's how they should start. Mark in Framingham on this. Yes, Mark? Yeah, I mean, without being fraudulent, right, we can all admit that Tatum's a little corny, and when you think about who he is, what he likes to represent, which is St. Louis. Area code of St. Louis is 314. His Supermax contract was $314 million, not the $315 million he could have signed for. Oh, I like this. So I got to assume March 14th is the day he's coming back. Okay, we'll mark it. We'll see. I'd buy into this. March 14th, Washington at home. That's not buzzworthy enough. The terrible Wizards. I mean, sure, soft landing in terms of who you're playing. He'll get to clean up against them. In your home, but don't you want a little bit more buzzworthy like the Thunder on March 25th or the Timberwolves in the 22nd primetime game? I'm telling you, you're going to make a five-episode documentary. You can't be going out there against a scrub for your first return. Why not? Because then you play a lot. It's not as exciting, though. Oh, no, no, but then you get to ramp up. No, you post-produce it. I mean, you make it as exciting as you want it to be after you edit it up. Okay, you got a point there, yeah. It's about him. It's not about the result of the game. If it's just about him. And the highlights, yeah, you're right. Maybe you do want to go up against a scrub on March 14th. That's the area code. That's the number of the contract. Okay. Like Murray, for example, there were people believed that you shouldn't get. Is that true he left a million dollars on the table because he wanted it to be? I don't know. I never heard that. I never heard that before. He wanted it to be the area code of St. Louis? Me neither. I had no idea. It's the top five stupidest things I've ever heard. It is. I'd take the extra million. He should have signed. and he could have given it to me. A lot of pro athletes believe in that numerology crap, right, J. Stu? To the point where they're going to give it. This is true, yeah. There's a lot of numerology in sports. No, I get it. But here's a million dollars? A million dollars. But if that extra million, if it throws off the balance, it could be a curse. Why did I take the 315 when I could have the 314? Damn it. Boo. You've got to be kidding me. I don't want the 9 energy. I want the 8 energy. This is another one where you've got to be kidding me. No, I'm telling you, the 314 thing, I'm starting to believe. Like Murray, because I was saying, you know, some people believe you shouldn't get engaged on Valentine's Day because it should be its own thing. You know what I mean? The better day is 2.15. This is sort of like Tatum. Why come back against a good team? It can be its own thing. You're talking about different things. Do you like a reading, Felger? No. Ernie in Cranston. What do you got, Ernie? This is your enemy year, Felger. A lot of talk about... Great show, guys. A lot of talk about wide receiver needs for the Patriots and edge, but I don't hear a lot of talk about, unless I missed it, the offensive line. It's a sieve. This kid is getting killed back there. He does have a tendency to hold onto the ball too long on occasion. But I think that's more of a cop-out and overlooked by this offensive line, especially Will Campbell. I mean, look at the Super Bowl. I'm just curious. Do you think they're going to focus on that? No. They've already stated. When I say no, let me, two-part. One, we have talked about it because they were clear, and they have been clear, Will Campbell's not going anywhere. And I also think Morgan Moses is going to be back. However, they also said on many different times, we all know Morgan Moses' age. 35. Both Wolf and Vrabel mentioned his age. I was a little surprised by this, but keep going. And you know what I'm talking about. Yes, I know exactly what you're saying. It was kind of like we all know Tom's age and contract situation. Yes, totally. They both had a comment like that. So I think Morgan Moses is back, but he might not be. And if he's not, or even if he is, I don't know if he's guaranteed to make the team once training camp rolls around, or they've got their eye on that spot big time. I also read in one of the reports that they want to keep Vidarian low. That's a target of theirs. So long story short, caller, I think they're going to look at right tackles. I think they're going to look at swing tackles. And offensive line and tackle is a priority for them, just not your quote-unquote big-name starter. But no, they're going to fill out that position. If not right now for Morgan Moses, eventually for Morgan Moses because they got their eye on him. I wonder how much of his money is guaranteed next year. Part of me wonders if he'd retire. I can look it up real quick, Maz, if you feel for 20 seconds. I just thought it was unusual that they brought it up and named him. Elliot Wolfe actually said Morgan Moses is 35 years old. And I thought, wow. If you're Morgan Moses, how do you feel about that? They're talking about the fact that you're old and they think it could end at any moment. I just, you know, and I'm not telling you it was like this major shot, But usually you see a little bit more tact when it comes to stuff like that. Most of his money next year is guaranteed. Okay, so he's back then. He's back. His base salary is six and a half, and four and a half of that is guaranteed. Okay. He's here. Yeah, he is. So that's why I asked. I thought maybe he'll retire. If he's got, like, no guaranteed money, maybe they know he's going to walk. And, hey, I'm done. I did you the one year. You wanted me to get you going and be a leader on your offensive line and get the thing started. so uh or maybe you know i i don't know maybe they said understood it's a two-year deal and then he's gone but the way they said it was kind of cavalier i was surprised that because i didn't expect that from brable you're right because it's kind of disrespectful it is it is it's just it's it's this thing of you know you could be done tomorrow for all we know if you're old the last thing you want to hear is your coach telling you you're old yeah i was it caught me a little off guard when they said it so they must have really good communication with the player or who knows what rabel just that good he just that he just that untouchable that he can call an old player old and bring up his contract and have it not come back to him That the Vrabel magic touch right there We got more of your thoughts 617-779-0985 coming your way right after this. Hey, it's Owen. Shaking things up a bit. No formal intro. Let's see what Carlo from Auburn has to say. The biggest thing that I received out of this Awaken 180 program was that I was able to get a best friend. And when I say that, I mean the person that I look to in the mirror every morning. I would walk by the mirror and not look. Now, the Awaken 180 program has given me the ability to look in the mirror, smile, and actually enjoy and appreciate the person I am. I went from, you know, 301 down to 213. I've lost 84 pounds with Awaken 180. 84 pounds, and Carlo did it in just under four months. and those results, buddy, are the results you'll get with Awaken 180. Do what Carlo did, what I did, Greg Bedard, Dr. Laura Carman, and everybody else that's done it. Get back to liking the person you see in the mirror and choose Awaken 180 Weight Loss online at awaken180weightloss.com. I don't care what you think. I'm here. Can you hear me? I can hear you, Matt. 98.5, the Sports Hub. And the 3-1 is clobbered. and gone. Marcelo Meyer making his spring training debut. That'll make a strong impression. He fell behind 3-1. Just try to lay a fastball in there. See the two-seam grip. Not a lot of movement down. Marcelo Meyer goes deep today. So, while it looks like the Red Sox have been burying him, and I think they have to an extent, manager sort of giving him a hard time giving him shade trading for a third baseman and signing like or bringing in two or three utilities second baseman Marcelo Meyer comes onto the field for the first time this year and goes deep I hope he shoves it right up their ass be a good story see I'm a little torn on this I think you've sensed that from the beginning because I think the kids got big league-itis yeah and so he he might need a little of it which is fine uh but there's no question quarters has been outward about it totally overt he's not hiding it at all in fact there was a quote from myer and one of the stories i read today i think it was on mass live where he came flat out and said they've made it pretty clear i have to win the job or something like that and i thought you think i mean they basically hit him in the face with it so you know Pete Abe wrote the other day, you know, he wrote his second crack at projecting the Red Sox opening day roster. And you get to the bottom of the lineup, and he has Andrew Monasterio as a starting second baseman. Andrew Monasterio. How old is he? 28. He was in the Brewers system, right? He wasn't even with our – I don't think he was up on – he got some time, but, yeah, I want to say he spent more time at the AAA level. Yeah, no, no. I think he's 28 years old. Look it up. But he's basically a platoon guy. You know, he plays against left-handed pitching. and he's got some power, I think, against lefties. You know, Cora was talking about his athleticism and stuff like that, but he's a 30% playing time player. You're only going to play against lefties. I mean, maybe you get a little bit more in some things, and maybe they think he can hit righties in spots. But he's a fringe for a player. Totally right. Is going to start the season, and Marcelo Meyer, your fourth overall pick, who had a great spring last year and has shown flashes and a lot of potential, is going to – why? Why? Why are you doing that? Explanation, writes Pete Abe. The most significant change is a shift in the infield alignment with Durbin now starting at third again in his projection and newcomer Monasterio at second. That pushes Marcelo Meyer. Is it Mayer or Meyer? Meyer. Meyer out of the lineup. I'm going to ask this every time because I get it wrong every time. Well, I'm going to say it. So when I put it in headlines, I spell it M-Y-E-R because with the A in there, it kind of trips you up. Well, Oscar Mayer, the baloney is M-A-Y-E-R. They're stupid too. Yep. I blame both of them. I blame both Marcello and the baloney. Oh, S-C. Shush. That pushes Mayer out of the lineup and perhaps back to AAA Worcester. So here's an idea. Your stud fourth, okay, again, stud potential, fourth overall pick is going to start in Worcester and something named Andrew Monasterio is going to be your opening day second baseman. I'm with you. Why? Why? And again, P. Day Bright's, there's something hinky going on with Meyer, who has yet to play in a game. He wrote this two days ago. He's scheduled to play second base Friday against the Braves. Why the wait? Quote, he's adding to his hitting program, manager Alex Cora said. Say what? Yeah, I know. This one's curious. Driveline. No, and he was also on the traject machine, which is the one that simulates deliveries, but go ahead. They're slow playing him. They're burying him. They're dinking with him is what they're doing. Yeah, that's right. And he finally gets on the field and goes deep. And we're still going to start the year with Isaiah Kiner-Falefa or Andrew Monasterio or Mikey who? Romero. I mean, come on. What are we doing? I find this frustrating, and I find the fifth starter question that we asked earlier frustrating as well. That should go to one of those two kids, Conley Early or Tully. Who's the mustache? Yeah, Peyton Tully. Totally. Both those guys showed stuff last year. They're your future. Why aren't they out there working their way onto the club? Why? Tully's a little behind developmentally, and when I say that, I mean he got – he went from single A to the big leagues like in the flash of an eye. I understand. So him I can get – I understand. Early started in the playoffs. Game three elimination game in Yankee Stadium. I like him too. He'd be a perfect fifth guy. And then we're going to put this Oliverio? Oviedo. It's just going to be a year of butchering names. It really is. It's okay. It's better this way. Yeah, right. I can't stand Oviedo. I've barely seen him pitching. I already hate him. But why are we doing that? Good question. I mean, you got me. My guess is the GM's got something to do with it. Stewie, why are they doing that? Oh, because I think the GM loves his velocity, He loves his potential. He's off Tommy John surgery. Like his expected numbers here are like, you know, 12 and 10 with a 251 BABIP. Well, he's another guy who he's big, Mike. He's like six foot six. Okay. And they're big on that closing distance, right? Extension. Oh, and he can throw it right out of his ass. Yeah. He's got great extension, which means that the 96 actually plays like 98. I bet his arm angle is like five eighths of the way down when it releases. I mean, he's a big dude. There's no question. But, you know, to me, he's another guy who can whip it out of his ass. But at the same time, there's no ceiling in this guy. There's no ceiling. I'm sorry to cut you off, Master. There's no ceiling on Oviedo. There's ceiling on Early and Toley. There's ceiling on Meyer. You've got enough established guys here that you can play one young guy who's coming along and you're going to have to take some lumps when he hits left-handed or a young starter who may run into a tough matchup every now and then. There's room for guys like that. That's what you've been doing here. But there's also service time. There's innings limits. There's all that stuff. Aggravating to me. Back to your phone calls. How about Steven New Hampshire has a football stat idea? Ooh. You ready? Let's go with this total agenda-free topic. So baseball has a scorer. It's a hit or it's an error. Football needs a scorer for interceptions because there are interceptions that are thrown that go against the quarterback's QBR that aren't his fault. Hits the receiver in the hands, bounces off the receiver, should have caught it, is different than the quarterback throws a pass and is intercepted. So curious to get your thoughts. Do fantasy, do you get docked for interceptions in fantasy? No, I just mean in general. I know what he means. No, no, I know what you mean. I'm asking if is the real root of your question fantasy? Oh, it could be. Yeah, it could be. QB1 gets negative points. Or he's a quarterbackist like I am. Because someone else has floated this before. We've taken a call like this before. I'm into it. It shouldn't go against the quarterback. Do you agree that? Yeah, I do. There are advanced stats called turnover-worthy plays. And I think that even if you throw an interception on a deflection that goes right through the receiver's hands, that's not a turnover-worthy play. I mean, if the stat is what it should, you know, if it is doing what it should do, if you don't throw a turnover-worthy ball that turns into a turnover, or that shouldn't go against you. No, no. It should be like an unearned run. Yeah, no, it's this whole unexpected. I'm sorry, expected world. Correct. That's an expected goal, even though it didn't go in. One went in, but that was an unexpected. You know what I mean? No, I know exactly what you mean. This is how Joe Mazzula manages a basketball game. Yes, that's right. Expected and unexpected. They are driven by the expected stats, not the actual stats. So there's real interceptions. Those should count against a quarterback. Terrible throw, bad read. I'm telling you, this stat exists. So there should be a new stat, SHI, stone-handed idiot. Like if it clangs off your hands and it goes into the opposition, you're a stone-handed idiot. Brian and Salem, go ahead. Hey, guys. How long have they been doing in releasing the NFL players' grades of owners, like making them public? It feels like it's been going on for like five years. I was going to say half a dozen years. It hasn't been long. Okay. Do you think there any correlation to Kraft not getting in because it the direct grade of him as an owner to the players No I mean if he grading out terribly on stuff that he can control you know isn that Listen Should be a negative against him Maybe it a small thing Maybe voters think he's kind of a fraud, you know, presents himself as this but really manages it like that. Maybe, maybe. Where does Dallas rank in these things? But exactly. Like, he's hardly the only guy. Like, I mean, the Steelers are dead last and the Roonies are in there. I mean, or the old man is. Whatever. I don't think – no, I don't think it's held against Kraft. Two quick thoughts on the player survey. Yeah. One, good job owners getting that arbitration award. Yeah, right. Where, you know, it's so classic. Like, instead of these guys, these cheapskates, improving the working condition for the players, let's take them to court to squelch the report. You can do one of two things. You can improve the food or take care of the kids on Sundays. or you can go to the arbiter and have them shut down the survey. So they tried to get them to shut down the survey, but they couldn't do that because you can't prevent a union from talking amongst themselves. So they prevented the release of it. Good job, NFL owners. That worked. Right, came out anyway. Of course it came out anyway. Well, how much time and money did you waste on that one? Idiots. Why don't you just take care of your players as opposed to going through all these hoops to try and bury the information because it was never going to get buried in the first place. Good grief. I'm so glad that came back in the owner's face. Definitely. Why don't you spend the money you spent on the lawyers to just buy these guys a decent meal or provide daycare or whatever the hell. You mean upgrade the bologna sandwiches? Or give those poor Steeler players more than five bathroom stalls as they're lined up to take a crap after lunch. Good grief. Must be saving on toilet paper. These NFL owners, man, are embarrassing. And then the Patriots playing. Which again, ranked dead last in the league. This is something that the Patriots should probably give up on. I just refresh my memory on this. They bought the planes in 2017. They became the first NFL team in the league to buy their own planes. And boy, didn't the air fill with the stink of their farts. First team to buy the plane. Look at us. This organization. First class organization. do things right we got our own planes well it turns out they bought complete jalopies uh because robert craft in short order turn around and soon sued eastern airlines not the old eastern airlines the charter company that flies and maintains and i maybe have sold them to him i can't even remember if they were they actually sold them to him or just maintain them but whatever. He bought a couple of lemons. So he turned around and sued Eastern Airlines, a charter company, over it. And this was years ago. I know. And they're still flying them. And they suck. One player deemed them unsafe. Unsafe. And what you're hearing there is not like the engines rumbling or like where you said, Murray, they send out Marcus Jones. to go to the prop and start the propeller. Who drew the short straw this time? Oh, damn it. Go out there, Will Campbell, with your short arms. Can't reach the prop. Give it a good spin. Runs back to the plane. But you hear that maybe the bins are so old. They got to duct tape them closed. Yeah, duct tape them closed or they won't stay shut and there's luggage falling out of the thing, cracking guys on the head or something? They're worried about that? That's unsafe. I wonder if they put Sosi in those bins. Well, listen, if they have too many sponsors on there and they're out of seats, there's only one place to go, Bob. Yep. Climb up there, little fella. No, in fact, what they should do is duct tape Sosi and then put him in the bin and then duct tape the bin shut. Enough with the plane. the planes have become an embarrassment frankly so just rent them charter them like everybody else charter a nice plane and enough with the forcaca planes uh so listen uh it's it's my fault because i've just sort of let it go five questions that have nothing to do with sports we promised it we deliver next five questions that have nothing to do with sports some emails that all comes your after Murray's final update here of our program. Hey, it's Owen. Shaking things up a bit. No formal intro. Let's see what Carlo from Auburn has to say. The biggest thing that I received out of this Awaken 180 program was that I was able to get a best friend. And when I say that, I mean the person that I look to in the mirror every morning.

Do I study? Consider them the periodic table of sports talk. Put that in your pipe and smoke. Sorry. I don't mean to blow a gasket. No, no. Blow it, baby. Blow it. Felger and Maz. I got five questions. Mike, Felger, and Tony Maz. I got five questions that got nothing to do with sports. I got five questions. Five, one, two, three, four, five. I got five questions. I hope this segment ain't too wide. That's usually a staple on Thursdays, but it was forgotten yesterday, so here we are doing it today on a Friday, an agenda-free Friday. Five questions for Felger and Mazda have nothing to do with sports. Question number one, do you think you could outrun the cops in a police chase? I'm not talking about an OJ situation where it's the white Bronco and a sea of police vehicles behind you. I'm talking one or two cars. I don't want to, like, I would never do it. Like, I don't want to act like, but yes. Yes, especially because I don't think they have any interest. I say any interest. I think it's probably smart half the time for them not. Like, we're going to turn this into, like, a scene out of Dirty Harry. You know what I mean? Yeah, in the interest of public safety, they're probably not going to pursue the chase. Right. So I don't know, like, quote unquote, their heart's in it, and maybe it shouldn't be. Like, I'm not passing judgment. I don't want to sound like some sort of badass. We all respect law enforcement here. Just talk about your driving skills. I'm an exceptionally good aggressive driver. Yes. No, I could not. Absolutely not. I could in two seconds. I'm a great aggressive driver. Yeah. I wouldn't try. I'm next level. But if we're talking one or two cars? Yeah, come on. next if you had to guess how much would gas have to be per gallon here in the United States for violence and crime to start rising to almost mad max levels for the precious juice interesting question $10 a gallon that was my initial guess too but I ultimately went 15 I think 10 really like people would start to go crazy and then 15 they'd lose their money there's so many things that have gotten so stupidly expensive that The highest national average was just over $5 in 2022. Like, there's so many things that have doubled in price. That if that happened, I'm probably low. You're right. No, I think it's double digits. The first time it gets double digits. The first time, if the national average was $10, people will go bananas. I mean, think about that. $10 for a gallon of gas? F off. Like, a lot of people would go nuts there. like I just said it at 15 because I think that that would be total chaos even eight I think it starts to get a little squirrely next what do you believe is your uh superpower the one trait you believe you're better at than anybody else so I I ask this because Aaron Glenn the Jets coach said this week on the record in front of a microphone they're calling plays is his superpower and then he was found sleeping at the combine yesterday which is fantastic uh my superpower is A non-billionaire division, because I want to make that clear. Point A to point B. Me getting from here to the airport, airport onto the plane, plane to home, here to anywhere, I will beat you. Unless, of course, you're a billionaire who has a helicopter or a private jet. Then I'm obviously not going to, I can't compete in those waters. But the next division down, point A to point B, I will beat anyone to the spot. This is boring, but people-pleasing You'd never know it from the crap I say In the middle of the show That's definitely how you thought of Maz Out there as a people-pleasing No, really, I was raised that way I was raised like a peck So people-pleasing for you, point A to point B For me, as long as I can lay down I can sleep anywhere Oh, that's such a great quality to have It's a great skill Lay down, but you can't do it sitting up I can't do it sitting up So you don't sleep on planes No, it's nearly impossible for me to sleep on a plane. But if I can lay down, I can be a great bum. And given the state of radio, it could end up happening one day. Concrete, cardboard, streets, wherever. I can fall asleep anywhere as long as I can lay down. That is my true superpower. That is a great one. I can fall asleep. I can't stay asleep. Finally, ripped from the headlines this week. Some awful woman abandoned her adorable dog. Oh, no, you missed one. Oh, I did. I'm sorry. Question number four. I'm sorry. very good mess uh how much money would you wager betting on the fact that you knew where every light switch what every light switch in your house did Because no matter where I lived how many years I lived there I still find myself getting screwed up with what switch does what One penny. There's no way. And this is including... Bragg. We kind of built a house, you know, we designed the house. Sure. where we worked with the contractor to put the outlet here for this light and the outlet there for that light. Of course. And then they put them all in. You couldn't keep them straight. Lived in the house for seven years, and I, for seven years, I could not figure out what was what. So there's no chance. $1,000. Of course he does. I know them all. Every single one, I know exactly what it does. Yeah, you could probably control them on that fancy app as well, right? I only have a couple that I could do that with, But I can tell you which one's on a three-way, which one's on a two-way, which one's on a four-way. But I know every single one what they do. No, not me. Like I said, no matter where I've lived, how long I've been there, parents' house, you know, wherever. I'm always like, what's this one do? Oh, son of a bitch. Finally, this is the one. Rip from the headlines. This week, some awful lady abandoned her adorable dog at the airport because she failed to fill out the proper documentation to fly with a pet. Thankfully, one of the arresting officers adopted the dog. But here's the question. What should really happen to this original owner of the dog? fine and public scorn. That person should be abandoned at the airport with no food or water until someone wants to give them it. Like, same sin that you committed on the dog. So you'd have to cuff them to make sure they can't eat and go get food themselves. You stay there until somebody claims you, you jackass. Who would do that? At a minimum, leave it with somebody. If you're really in a bind like that, call someone to come get the animal. Or you just don't take the trip. Right, right. Or that. Like I'm saying, let's say it was a must type of thing. But you account for you one year in prison. You swore twice on the show yesterday, so I think you're out of swears. One year in prison for me. I stopped short because I can already feel it. More outrage over a dog than a person. I just try and stop short of that. Would you be as angry right now if you heard that was a kid? Nope. No, I'd be more. You see my point. He's kidding. Of course, he's kidding. Let's do some emails, shall we, please? Yeah. It's the Coleman Electric email of the day. Dear Felga, I really hate you. And I think Maz is a boob. It's electric. The Coleman Electric email of the day. It's electric. Send yours to Felger at 98.5 the sports hub.com. Email today brought to you by Coleman electric, a bunch of really good electricians helping homeowners like you. When you need an electrician, call Coleman. Cause it's, it's electric. It's electric Polly. It's electric. K U H L M A N. I made another Elizabeth Hurley reference earlier in the program about, I don't know just how much I really appreciate Elizabeth Hurley. Arthur writes in, hey, Felger, you do realize Elizabeth Hurley will be 61 June 10th, don't you? Ready for assisted living, Arthur. She don't look 61. She gets more beautiful by the day. And if that is 61, then I don't want to be 31. Anyone can be 21 and hot. What does that take? You roll out of bed at 21 and you're hot. A little harder at 31. 61? My Lord. All-time great. Mount Rushmore, maybe the tippy top of Mount Rushmore. Elizabeth Hurley. That's it. And if you don't agree, you've got a big dump in your pants. Subway line, swayman for anything. Tim writes in, hey, dipwads, just heard you commenting about swayman peacocking. And I stopped reading. I just like the dipwad. It's a good word. Underused. I don't even know if I've heard that term before. That's creative. But it's clean. You can use it. It works. It's not, like, too angry. I just like dip wad. Dip wad with a P. That's what you're saying. It's a gross thing, ultimately. A wad of dip that you... Dip wad. That's what that is. I didn't even break it down to that point. I just like the way it rolls off the top. No, it's good. Dip wad. And clean. Matt, the stat writes in, Marcelo Meyer quote after his home run today. Did you guys see the Meyer quote today when he was asked about his home run? Quote, when you don't play, you kind of lose part of yourself because this is what we do, so it was a good moment. Matt says he definitely doesn't sound happy he didn't play until today. Matt, you think he's talking about losing time to injury? Yeah, that's what I think, because again, he had wrist surgery and they saved part of it. Now, if the Red Sox extended his absence from games on purpose, then Matt, the stats are on to something. this one subject line felger's a dick michael you're an amazing sports reporter thank you with a fantastic sports mind thank you but my god if there were a raffle at 98.5 for the ability to punch one of your co-workers in the face i hate to tell you but you would be the one going home bruised and bloodied i'd buy all the tickets you totally walk all over interrupt yell at example yelling listen to everyone like they're in kindergarten and crap on everyone's take because it differs from your own your co-workers go home every day complaining about you to their wives and girlfriends that's not true it's not every day oh it's just like select days if they don't complain the wives and girlfriends feel compelled to ask what did that prick do to you today End quote. Listen! My wife stopped asking. Let's do the final word, shall we, please? Yeah. Listen! That was Jamie in New Hampshire. Thank you, Jamie, for the note. Hey, it's Felger here. Listen! Now, on Felger and Mads. It's the final word. We're recapping this four-hour show in four minutes, which leads to the question, does it really need to be four hours long? No!

Here on a reentry Monday, Felger and Maz. Hope everyone's safe and dry in the storm. I come to you remotely today. Snowed out of Logan. Technical difficulties. What loser's laments I'm hearing up there in Canada. I'm sorry. Go ahead. David Law. Go ahead, David. Yeah, I'm sorry. This has been the greatest moment in U.S. history since 1980 in hockey. And you spent this entire first hour bitching, pissing, and moaning with the talk radio show from Montreal. It was great. Why? Greatest moment. This has been such a turnoff. I mean, I can't believe I'm listening to this crap. You are, though. But here you are. Because you like it. NBC let us down. The Olympic coverage let us down. I was left wanting a heck of a lot more. Where's your panel? I love your idea of a game broadcast. No montages, no fun, more talking heads saying the same crap. You don't like Mike Milbury after a big hockey game talking about who screwed up and why? I don't think you're being genuine about how you feel about the country. No, I definitely am. But I just can't believe you don't like. What should I have for dinner tonight? I don't get it. Well, you know what I like. So what should I, should I, because I was maybe thinking of pizza, but maybe should I get Mexican? Who was the pass rusher that used to be with the old Redskins, the Washington team that was here for a year or two and was pretty good? Andre Carter? I can't even begin to remember his name. Yeah, they got Carter and Mark. Like five years ago. Mark Henderson? Mark Anderson? What's his name? It was Andre Carter, I think, is the guy you're talking about. Is it Andre Carter or DeAndre Carter? I think it's Andre Carter. Because when I look it up, it says DeAndre Carter. Oh, wait. When it says DeAndre, they stole a picture. I said that's the guy I'm talking about. I think it's Andre Carter. Okay, it's Andre Carter. I don't know how many freaking times I have to say it before you guys just cave in and accept the fact that I was right. John in New Bedford. Go ahead, John. I found something, and I'll give you the website. It's not too hard, but it's a little bit long. www.nba.com slash stats slash teams slash shots hyphen closest hyphen defender. Jonathan. Just amazing. John, thank you. Got it. I found it. It was a former quarterback. Miley Cyrus. Rosi Dowling? No, no, no, no, no. Miley Cyrus. No, Cyrus. Cyrus Jones. Cyrus Jones. Yeah, the bum out of Alabama. Not Miley. I came in like a wrecking ball. Not Miley Cyrus. Cyrus Jones. No, really. They love him. They love him to death no matter what he says. With Bill, it was like, oh, what an ass. Sorry. Sorry, I can't say that. You can also go asshat. I can also substitute something for ass, but I don't think... You did it. I mean, it's just amazing. Sorry, Jimmy. That last one I meant to mention was the Supercut of the Week. Maz saying a-hole, but saying it twice. I actually put a word between them the second time. The Supercut of the Week is brought to you by Supercuts. When you're thinking about your next haircut, use your head. Head to any of the 120 Boston and Providence Supercut Salon Supercuts Real Smart Hair. So plenty of damage done this week. Listen! But that is what it is. Here comes Joe Murray. Has he got any games tonight? Yeah, Celtics. Celtics at home against the Brooklyn Nets. So another win for the Celtics. Okay, there we go. It would have a great weekend. I think the NFL hot stove began this week. It's going to really pick up next week, that's for sure. So we'll be there to cover it starting at 2 o'clock on Monday. Everybody have a good weekend. We'll see you then. See you. Bye.
