Felger has some Thoughts on the Trip to the Moon // Email of the Day // The Final Word - 4/2 (Hour 4)

I think that feels like a nice package there. Yeah. Wow, look at those phones light up. It's Felger and Mads. I'm not the eight-five, the sports hub. Murray asks one of his five questions. On a scale of one to ten, the Artemis II mission, how much does it interest you? One being, or zero being, none, ten being, very. Both you guys were one. You know, this doesn't interest you at all? Not really. Not really, no. Okay. Do any of these little factoids, little nuggets, interest you? One, which I think is the most interesting, big headline, top-line thing about this mission. You understand they will probably go farther than any man has ever gone before in this thing. They will go deeper into space than we've ever gone. Okay. And what I find interesting is that it's could. Like, it's not a guarantee. I would like to think, and I know this is going to... Listen. Before I get the angry, because everything makes everyone angry. Like, if I get a little something wrong, just give me a break. I'm just reading online. Okay. Like, I'm not an astrophysicist or something. I've just been reading up for the last day on this, and this is what I've gleaned. If I gleaned something wrong, please just don't get angry. You can correct me on the email, but if you're going to get all pissed, like, I don't know why. I'm coming at this from a good place, okay? So please. I hear from the descendants of Buzz Aldrin. Like, everything gets everything. Everything gets everyone so angry. But I had read that, and then the way it was phrased is that it could send them farther than any man has ever gone before. I'm curious why we don't know for sure that they're going farther than any man has ever gone, but it's sort of like a could. They could be. But that doesn't interest you? Then in the history of civilization, this is the farthest into space mankind will ever have gone? Not yet. No, you haven't interested me yet. Keep going. I find that cool. Two. What do you got? You said five facts. Yeah, no. So, I mean, there may be three. There may be six. I can't remember. Do you know that they're going to the far side of the moon? And some of these are really simple. So, again, don't get mad. But people don't know this. I had to be reminded of this. They're going to the far side of the moon, and they will see parts of the moon that no one has ever seen before. Did you know, Murray, that only one side of the moon faces us at all times? Thus the lyrics see you on the dark side of the moon. Correct. But there's, I mean, you could assume that there's always going to be a dark side, like there's a dark side of the earth. Right. The sun's on the other side. But do you know that we only see half of the moon ever? I guess I didn't know that. And that the dark side, the far side of the moon is always the far side of the moon? Did you know that? No, I did not know that. So, there could be a xenomorph, monsters there. But doesn't that like intellectually just interest you a little bit? Yeah, sure. And then kind of cool? Yeah. And furthermore? Yeah, if you've found cool stuff and came back. I think the pants were over there, but yeah. Things that could help us here. What's over there are massive, massive craters. And it's much more mountainous and much more topography on that side versus the near side that we can see. Hmm. Which sounds like the West Coast. What I find interesting. Okay. More nooks and crannies. Exactly. Is that you would think if we're only seeing one side the entire time that it doesn't spin, you would be mistaken. Oh, we're spinning at the same rate probably. The moon spins. So why is that? The answer, according to Wiki, it's due to tidal locking. The time that it takes for the moon to orbit the Earth once is equal to the time it takes for the moon to rotate once. Thus, the far side of the moon never fully comes into view of Earth's surface. I don't totally get that, but it interests me. Okay. Just because I'm intellectually curious about some things, Murray. Yeah, I'm no Magellan. I mean, back in those days, if they had asked me to go explore, I'd say, no, I'm staying here. Oh, no, I'm not getting that thing either. I have no interest in going up there. But I got a little bit of the science fiction space thing. I do. I read Andy Weir books. It got me to go to the movies for the first time in like 10 years last week. Oh, you went and saw the What's His Face? Sure did. Sure did. Because I read Andy. Oh, oh, yeah, go ahead. The Martian and his follow-up book was Artemis, which is the name. It was based on the moon, about a moon colony. And then Project Hail Mary. So I read his books. And I'm kind of into it. Science fiction, I think that Interstellar is one of the great movies I've ever seen. So like maybe I've just got a little thing here. You're a space guy. Kind of. Okay. They are currently in orbit around Earth. So they're doing this because we're going back to the moon. And this is the second in a series of trial runs. The first trial run, they sent this thing up there without any people. Now we have people and life support systems, which they didn't have on the first Artemis. Two is exercise equipment, life support systems. And for the first time ever in space travel, a toilet. Did you know that the Apollo missions, there was no toilet. They just dumped their stuff into bags. The urine they would release out of the space capsules. Yep. That I think I do. The poop, it's still up there. Okay. In bags floating. In bags. I don't know if it's floating or if they secured it somehow, but. They left it on the moon. They left the bags on the moon. How perfect, which speaks to what I'm talking about as if we haven't already ruined one planet. Let's go ruin the moon to other trash. This place with deforestation, extinction, everything else. And I'm part of it because I don't really recycle. But how perfect. First time we get up there. What should we do with this? I just leave it. No, I mean. We're going to treat it like Connecticut. It is hypocritical that you're worried about the, the, the purveyor of one big bag over is suddenly worried about renewable, you know, waste and clean water. Well, I'm just saying for all the money and time we pour into this, you should, I would think, pour it into fixing this planet. It probably works like fertilizer. I bet you there are vegetables up there. This one has a toilet. Now you ask in zero gravity. How does that work? Yeah, exactly. I would love to leave a log on a rocket going to space though. I got to, that part is, you find, you actually hit a note with me here. This is this. I do find it. People can thank you. I told you, I was going to get me. Okay. So this one has a toilet. It malfunctioned shortly after launch and they had to troubleshoot and fix it. Okay. So that was real. So again, that was real. It's the internet. I don't know what the hell to believe anymore. I saw that floating around. No pun intended on social media yesterday. I'm like, the thing actually stopped working and sure enough, that actually is true. It's one of the things they're testing is a toilet, which they've never had before, before that you just went in bags and they have bags as a backup, but the toilet. So, but in zero gravity, how does that work? And so maybe you can email me and tell me more details on this because I didn't get all the details, but I heard that there's like, suction, suction, suction that they have these cones that you, vacuum cleaner that you, uh, in the toilet and then they have a thing that you urinate in suction that sucks it. I mean, if you think about it, it's kind of what they do on a plane. But yeah, I worry about that. I've dumped on a plane before. I feel like it's going to end up making me prolapse. It really sucks. But how do you set on the toilet? They have all these hand helds and like little class that you put your feet in and they'll think, Oh, right. Because you're in zero gravity. So how do you, you need stirrups. And I like to take my time in there too. See this. Okay. You got me. Thank you. I told you, I'd love to blow up a toilet on the rocket. This is the one that blows me away. Okay. And this is a big night. It's a big day. It's happening in a couple hours. 24 hours are just orbiting the earth and they're going to test out some of the systems and drive the thing around a little bit. In layman's terms, test drive, they're doing some test driving and they're testing out the systems. The toilet already failed and they figured it out and things like this. And they're also, they have exercise equipment up there that I'm not sure they had in the past. And this is because your body degenerates and zero gravity and blah, blah, blah. So the testing, all these things for when we send people to the moon in only two years, the people go up there in 20, 20. Right. Yeah. So this afternoon or this evening, they have to get from earth's orbit to the moon. It is going to be a trans lunar injection, a Tli. They will be firing the engines for what will be five minutes and 51 seconds accelerating the spacecraft to escape earth's gravitational pull. This burn mass will be the last major engine firing of the mission. Think about that. They're going to fire the engines for five minutes and 50 seconds to go to the moon. And then that's it until they come back. And that's about it. The gravitational pull of the moon, the gravitational pull around the moon will do the rest will do the rest and send them back. That blows me away. That doesn't blow your mind. So this part I will say is kind of interesting. So then do you know from what you, your little research that you've done here, does it, when they come around, is it essentially slingshot them back? Yes. Yeah. That's how it works. That's kind of cool. So that's what Apollo 13 did. Yeah, it does. It slingshots. Which is, I just find mind blowing. They did that. Apollo 13 has an emergency. They were supposed to land on the moon. Correct. You know, they had a failure and they had to get back. And so they use the moon as a slingshot. But so I guess maybe you can tell me this too. It's like a hairpin turn on a bobsled. So basically the TLI burn is what distinguishes between a crew in Earth's orbit that can come home at any time. And they might do this unless I haven't been keeping up with it this afternoon. But if they don't determine that everything's a go, they're coming back. If they fire those puppies to the moon, the only way back is them hitting that trajectory and coming back around. God, be a nervous wreck on that thing. If they miss it, what does that mean? Yeah, right. You just gotta go around again. So you tell me, but how much fuel do they have? Because they're saying that's the last major burn. They have enough for little side thrusters to course correct in case they're off their trajectory. If they're off their course, I guess they have fuel there to sort of side blasters, if you will, to put them back on course. Yeah, I got you. It's their bumpers almost. But what if they like, holy crap, they one major burn to go and that's kind of it. I'm sorry, that blows me away. No, that's interesting. It's a free return trajectory. It's also terrifying. It's terrifying. It's what distinguishes between a crew in Earth's orbit that can come home in hours and a crew on a quarter million mile journey that cannot turn around. No human has crossed that line since 1972. If that doesn't interest you, then I don't think you're intellectually curious. You haven't crossed that line. Humankind has not crossed that line since 1972. And then we're going to go farther than you've ever gone. With basically no fuel. Just assuming that that slingshot thing is going to send you right back on the exact course that you got outside of a little side thrust. So that part is terrifying. It's terrifying and it interests me. When they go around the far side of the moon, they're blocked out for 45 minutes. No radio communications. They're in touch with 45 minutes. 45 minutes. 45 minutes. I mean, that's not that big a deal. My cell phone does that all the time. How could you feel like being up in mission control for those 45 minutes around that space? You know, you're talking to Houston the entire time. You're talking the entire time. What's wrong? Let's fix it. Let's fix it. Let's fix it. Let's wrong. 45 minutes. You're out. That's it. Do you want those other three astronauts talking to you in those 45 minutes? I say no. I want to be alone with my thoughts. Well, I'd rather talk and distract myself. I don't want to be thinking about that. Although what I would be hearing from those three is like, did you really have to clog the one toilet we had on this thing for the first time in 50 years? One of those nail biting blackouts will occur during the 45 minute period that the crew is traveling closest to the moon's surface as they venture to the lunar far side, blocking data from transmitting to or from Earth. The crew will remain out of contact until the capsule swings back around, giving its communication antennas an uninterrupted site. I will give you this about this too, because I was interested in the toilet. The one thing I can be talked into with us doing this and going back to the moon, getting on the moon in two years, it'll shut up the people that think we didn't go there in the first place. That I'm interested in. So that whole crew, I'm excluding you people. I have no time for you people. Do that on your own time. You wackadoodles. Do you know how big the moon is? No. I just looked it up because it's something that never comes up. The Earth is much larger than the moon. The moon is only about one quarter the size of the Earth in diameter. I would have guessed they were comparable size. They're not. I never thought they were. And if you compare their volumes about 49 to 50 moons could fit inside the Earth. It feels to me like someone just got a little interested in this. Yeah. Because now he's searching further under the internet and coming up with some nuggets of his own. Yeah. Sounds like someone just got you a little interested in this thing. Yeah, a little. Thank you. Very little. So basically the moon. I know it's mostly the toilet. No, the Earth is like an orange. The moon is like a pea. And when they decided that they're going to do this or not, so I think it's at 7.51 Eastern or something like that early this evening, they're going to decide whether they go or not. And when they go, there's no coming back unless, you know, providing. That's a one way door. They hit that. They got to hit that thing around the moon and come back and that's it for the engine burn. That's it. All they got left is side thrust. Listen, I don't know if they have anything. I don't know what they have left. I don't know if they have reserve fuel or anything like that. But the mission plan is that's the burn. And basically the only thing other than that is going to be some little side thrusters to get them back on course if they get off for any reason. But if they get off course too much, are they done? They just keep going. And the last thing, this is no, this is no layup. No, definitely not. So this is dangerous. The estimated risk of loss of crew, the LOC last one is generally cited between one and 30 and one and 50. Two to three. What's this one? Two to 3%. Critics will say as high as one in 20 that they don't make it back. Oh, that's those aren't great odds. Those are terrible odds. It's really dangerous. It is dangerous. So that part I understand. And we take it for granted. This is part of the reason I think to what end? Like is it what? What do we want to what end? Because we're going to land people on the moon, then we're going to colonize the moon and then we're going to Mars. That's the plan. Why haven't we been? Why haven't we been back since 1972? Because we couldn't get to Mars in 1972. And there was no money to be made on the moon. So every four years there's a different president and some want to do it. Some don't. And so we're going to be making things take 20 years in planning that started with Trump in his first term. Okay. Now whatever six years later, we're finally getting around to because that's what that that's. So why haven't we been back? Because there was no way to go any further. And it costs a crap ton of money and not every president wants to do it. And so we haven't been back. But now a musk and all these billionaires are helping to fund the thing. They're going to make money off the thing. We're going to colonize the moon and then we're going to Mars. That doesn't interest you. I just don't think it's realistic. Maybe not. I'm rooting against it. I'm rooting for it. I do. I do. Like I say, it's not serious. I said it was going to be five minutes. It was 22. I'm sorry. Enough. All right. Okay. Let's go back. I fear for the guys doing it. Of course. It's dangerous. That part. Sure. So we're not rooting against those people. Those people are heroes. They're putting their lives at risk by doing this thing. All right. That's that. Let's go back to Maz's tear. Shall we right after these words? I want to get to the gossip. Everything you said is right. The more I think on it, the more it sounds like the showing up late thing was a maybe a universal problem and he just picked him. Like if everyone's showing up late, it's like, you know, because if he's being looked at now as a new leader on the team and that's the guy, it's like, well, then you have to leave. If you want to consider yourself a leader, well, they're going to follow you. So if you show up late once, they're going to think it's okay to show up late here and there. So if you're going to be the leader of this staff, you, you show up late, especially after losing four straight and it's a Garrett crochet start. Okay. Now we have to set an example. That's the only thing that makes sense because I, I can't imagine that this was a continuous issue with Narvaez. There was a lack of professionalism that Cora has identified on this team and he's trying to nip it in the bud. That would be my guess. There was a, there was a hint of that during Spring. Training as well. Not, I'm not saying Carlos Narvaez. That was not on my radar, but there was a hint of that in Spring training of a team wide lack of professionalism. It was one guy, but it wasn't Narvaez. Okay. Yeah. Okay. The removal of Narvaez from the lineup is not a small thing, man. No, I don't think so either. I think it's indicative of some sort of problem inside. So the problems on the team are not just the roster construction of Bresla. They're not just what remains shoddy organizational instruction, you know, their approach. They're still striking out a ton. They're not fielding the baseball. The huge issues that face this team for years, frankly, feel like they haven't been addressed. It's no better to start this year than it was to begin last year. And it was atrocious to begin last year. So again, problems with the team. I think the roster is no better than it was last year. They clearly haven't addressed the issues in terms of how they play and three, the clubhouse might be unprofessional on top of it. Yeah, that's right. That's scary. It is. And my guess is, look, I'm just trying to put the pieces together like everyone else. But if you're asking me to take a guess playing off of what Jared said, Cora picked Narvaez because he thinks he's the one that can be the leader. Like Cora feels there's a leadership. I'm guessing here. Yeah. Cora feels there's a leadership problem in the clubhouse and that Narvaez is as good a bet to fill that void as anyone. And he said, I have to do this to you because you need to take control of that room. Okay. But that's not implying that Narvaez wasn't late and they just said, no, you're taking, no, he was late like anybody else would have been. Right. In fact, I would argue that it's more because he was late. In other words, we can't have. So we're supposed to make an example. Right. We can't have this from you. We can't have this from you. I'll put up with it with a couple of other guys because they're idiots. And, but with you, I can't have it. If you, if I lose you, we're done. This further speaks to them screwing up, not bringing Bregman back because he was so influential in that clubhouse last year. Roman Anthony's going on the record and talked about what he meant to his development and the other, what kind of leader he was. Now that he's gone, there's a massive void. Yeah. Remember, we used to complain about this with Devers. He's not a leader. Yeah. Right. And we know that we can't do it. And so they had to go get Bregman. So they went and got Bregman. And then last year felt like it straightened out. It took a little while with Bregman at the beginning to remember we said he just got here. So they need leadership. Now Bregman's gone. They don't have leadership again. Now look, that only solves the problem of them being one in five. Okay. Or part of it that doesn't solve the problem of them winning a World Series or not because the roster isn't good enough to win a World Series. Gino in the car. Your thoughts. Hey, what's going on guys? Happy Easter. So regardless of the record so far in the start, which is still pretty bad, you know, Alex Cora always seems to be complaining when you read between the lines of his speeches of the roster construction. They don't have enough. So my question is like, what is it about ownership that still wants Alex Cora to stay around? And even though he's kind of making these underhanded jabs and comments about what the front office is doing, because obviously what Bresla and what Bloomer doing? Were all directives from John Henry? Yes. I think you make a good point. You know, I think they, I think Cora is a made man. Henry, I think as an affinity for Alex Cora and he believes in Alex Cora and likes Alex Cora. And so I say he's a made man. Like this is a rare place where the GM gets it before the coach or the manager usually goes downhill. It doesn't go that way here. I think to a fault. And Gino's right. Like Cora has already had a couple. Like one was he had a weird comment. Like even the second or third game where he says how hard it is to his four outfielders. He's got to play three of them. And that's really hard. And if you don't think so, you don't know what you're talking about. You know what the comment I'm talking about. Yeah, I know exactly the comment you're talking about. It's not easy. It was oddly like, who's saying it easy? Who's saying it's easy? Who's Alex Cora talking to there? I mean, I do think it's kind of easy, but no one has ever released it. No one has ever really said that. Like no one was saying Alex just figure out it's easy unless someone was someone internally saying Alex, this isn't that hard. Get these four guys in here and he's talking to someone in trouble. But whatever that comment was oddly it got under a skin sensitive. I think yeah, I'm not, you know, but if you ask me, I think that's relatively easy to figure out someone sits every fifth day. And there's a D.H. And like there's like, it's like, it's the job. That's really, that's what you do. Right. But yeah, anyway, but it speaks to the fact that he doesn't love his roster or maybe someone's telling them this isn't that hard. You just and he says, if you don't think so, you don't know what you're like, like, whoa, Alex, good God. Those three games into the year or something. So it's already kind of, he's already kind of at it. Yeah. Yeah. Look, I told you, I think if this goes bad, I think this could be it for him. And so because I don't think Brazil is going anywhere. I think they're married to this philosophy of, you know, building with pitching and or, you know, developing players in the system, cutting costs, not cutting big expenditures. And they think Breslau is the guy to do it. And Cora, you know, might just be here to bridge it for him and get the most out of the roster while he's under contract and then bye bye. I'm just going by the contracts after this year. He's got one year left. If you have a bad year, that's the scenario in which a manager goes. Here's the update latest in the world of sports. And then we're back with one final segment of your thoughts, calls and emails. Now more of Felgar and man. Now on the sports hub. And it's a pattern you hate to see repeated. Yeah. No, that's what's driving people nuts too. Well, it's, you know, extra innings on the road, defensive miscues, strikeouts, piling up. If it was something different than what we saw last year, you'd say, OK, it's just a different year. But yeah, it's like rinse and repeat. You mentioned a weird play last night. We didn't even catch it. Strike two on the swing and miss on the stone base. Right. Double error, another run scored. And to be honest with you, we're sitting there trying to figure out what we're watching, what's going on right now. We missed the fact that so much happened. Nobody saw it. But how does Bay on the catcher miss it though? That part is a little troubling or, you know, somebody on the bench. Well, I get it. But I don't be honest with you. They're probably thinking the same thing. Like, what was, what's going on? But if I'm a hitter and I got ball four and the umpire says three, I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. That's four. Yeah, but the batter's not going to say anything if he's got strike three and the umpire says one and two, which is what happened the other night. Thank you, Kevin. Bad. That is, I know it's goofy and sort of odd and, you know, no one's ever seen it before. And one of those things, it's also a horrible tell about the engagement of your baseball team. Agreed. So again, that was more from Lou yesterday, wrapping up here with thoughts, calls and emails. How about Mike and Wubren? Hi, Mike. Hey, so the big thing for me with space and I love it. I've always been very interested in science and specifically space travel is the innovation. Like I could tell you like all the different, you know, inventions that NASA's come up with and things that they've improved and whatnot, but it's the tangential things, the tangential improvements that were applied for one thing in NASA and are now used for something else. Remember, remember Hubble, remember when they launched it and then the mirror, there was something wrong with the mirror and the images were all blurry. They had to come out with some type of algorithm to as a workaround so they could digitally sharpen the images. They use that now so that you can take super high sensitive mammograms and find the smaller, like more treatable forms of breast cancer because of that algorithm that NASA developed. It's all those things. This is the stuff and Jim, you should be super interested in this because all the people that try to force like the environmental BS on us, the recycling and stuff like that. If we're terraforming Mars, if we're turning Mars into a human environment, we're going to need technology to do that. That stuff could be reverse engineered to fix stuff on Earth so we can flip people off and have plastic straws in it. It's just advancement, but I don't know. It's kind of cool stuff. Let's do some email. Shall we please, Jimmy Stewart? It's the Coleman Electric Email of the Day. Dear Felga, I really hate you and I think Mars is a boob. It's Electric. The Coleman Electric Email of the Day. It's Electric. Send yours to Felga at 985thesportshub.com. Email and A brought you by Coleman Electric, a bunch of really good electricians helping homeowners just like you. When you need an electrician, you want to call Coleman. It's Electric. KUHLMN Panel Replacements, old wiring, old home that's got to come out. It's a fire hazard. We just did some Artemis talk. We also did five questions out of nothing to do with sports, which we'll circle back to here. Christian writes in Armageddon, Felga, everything you just described about the trip to the moon was in the movie Armageddon. That kills my buzz a little bit. I got to be honest with you. I've never seen that movie. It's a terrible movie. I don't consider it like I've watched a lot of sci-fi space movies. I'm into it. I love it. Me and my daughter watch them all the time together. It's our thing. We have never bothered with Armageddon. Oh, it's trash. It feels like a cheesy life. It is trash. So it kills my buzz that this was all in Armageddon. The slingshot around the moon known as the lunar boost. That was in Apollo 13. The no radio contact when they are on, but he says it's in Armageddon. I can't confirm or deny. I don't even remember. I just know the movie stinks. The no radio contact when they're on the far side of the moon. Everything. That trip didn't end out so well. Both crash landed on the asteroid. They went to Nuke. Godspeed and happy Easter says Christian. It kills my buzz. I did. The point of that is to say that it kills my buzz that that was all in Armageddon. That that segment was just Armageddon. That makes it really funny then. Two space shows you would love Felger says David. You'll love at least one of them for all mankind on Apple. Don't know. You guys watch all this stuff, right? I don't watch that one. For all mankind on Apple is an alternative history where Russia lands on the moon first and the space race never ends. It's very realistic. It is. It's very realistic and the TLI and all those maneuvers are explained pretty well during the show. Second, the expanse. You hear this? Nope. This is this one is more sci-fi, but most of it is probably accurate until a certain point. People have said for all mankind could be a spiritually a spiritual prequel to the expanse. My favorite shows. Check them out. I'm going to put it aside. I'm a sucker for sci-fi. Certain kind of sci-fi. Hey Felger is a fellow space lover says Ryan. I just finished reading a city on Mars that takes a pragmatic look at what it will take for humanity to settle space. Anyone ever read that one? No, please. The closest I've come to science fiction at the moment is Paradise on Hulu, I think it is. I'll put on Life on Mars by Bowie. I like that. Felger space talk Eric writes in. Frequent emailer. Give me more Felger talking space than him repeating himself over and over about ABS sports team spending and analytics. Give me more space talking. Don't tempt me Eric. How to make Murray. I would engage on that. Subject line. How to make Murray interested in Artemis. Maybe if there was a hip new bistro on the moon Jim would be interested in checking it out. If it was a diner. I mean I can get into a bistro. You like bistros. I do like a bistro but diner I'm more into a diner than a bistro. It's going to be more affordable. Come on you guys have missed the obvious one. Can you grow weed up there? Murray is such a bougie foodie you wouldn't believe it. No, no he is. He's a snob. Oh my god. Oh yeah, yeah big time food snob. Stand in line for food. He's a stand in line for food guy. He will yeah he's one of those. I was hoping he was not gonna mention steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak

steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak steak parts of the moon because of the moon's rotation and whatever orbit they took there's portions of the dark side that we haven't seen that I think we're gonna see in this and I think obscencibly or presumably the launch to Mars is supposed to be off the far side so they'll be doing some early scouting on the only way to get there well I don't know if it's the only way but it's the way we're going get a connect on the dark side one of the five questions Murray had genius question was if you can only if you had to pick one condition to have for the rest of your life running nose stuffy nose sore throat or itchy a hole which would you choose stuff he knows stuff he knows yeah I gave itchy a hole at least some thought right you're wrong it's personal preference my man something like an old brother RC writes in we're six games into the baseball season and all we have to talk about our itchy a holes yep we've already lost the baseball season feels that way I'm Craig Breslow for that one but thank you Craig what we've been left with our moon landings and itchy a holes itchy bum subject line never gotten this one before itchy a hole side effect stinky finger how'd you know oh greetings Michael not sure how an itchy a hole could ever be considered I strongly agree that a sore throat and stuff he knows blow but an itchy a hole that's just as bad if you have an itchy a hole you're naturally going to have a consistently stinky finger well I can't make sense that's always a good gag you have dialed half the things I say like masses who has no he's not listening but when I say the side effect of an itchy a hole masses on it immediately because he knows that's a red pinky finger that's a ready-made bit because you can always go up to a co-worker and friend like you're you know 11th grade like hey smell these I mean that's an easy one and it does it interests me there's no way you aren't getting after your hoop with the index finger nobody will shake your hand or give you a high five and you will replace zoe as the stinky disgusting disgusting gross employee at the sports hub respectfully Brian and Worcester yeah but how would you know unless you were constantly going like this in your seat through the four hours and the cameras catch well I told you this happened to me at the Super Bowl one year and I did I that's how I addressed it I kind of wiggled that was the easiest way to do it because otherwise you know what are you rock story of masses leaky backside at Super Bowl 50 otherwise you got to go get yourself like a pasta claw or something and you know it's just he can't you got to be careful there have you seen the thing that zoe scratches his back worth during this is back with yeah it's like a kitchen spoon or something she's got some device is it a back scratcher or is it like no I think it's like it's like a pasta scoop yeah it's like a kitchen spoon he gets it no does this surprise you does it really surprise you and then he I saw him put it in his mouth oh Jesus okay I guess he's just scratching his back presumably but he's and then he's like oh yeah and that's the least event like that's the least disgusting thing he does like you know that is the tip of the proverbial iceberg and then I got a bunch of emails from car guys who said my thing about throwing it into lower gears in my automatic car to save my brakes is full gauze bull crap it's bad practice breaks are way cheaper than a transmission says Robert oh so I am saving my brakes brakes are way cheaper than a transmission engine braking with the transmission is hard on modern super tight tolerance complex mechanical devices on and on and on and on and on what's a gear head yep gear heads like everyone's I got angry space people they don't they burn around the moon that's not the last time they're burning their engines dude I'm just reading from the New York Times and the AP and CNN and the whatever it's coming up on the internet did you hear me angry proctologist wrong with an itchy a hole everyone gets so angry like why does it have to be angry versus listen that may not be the best thing for your car and just want to yell I'm not sure that you have the transmit the burn thing right they might have some other burn but it's got to be like immediate anger like you idiot that's not the last burn like dude I'm just reading what's online I mean they give me a break but it's no it immediately turns to this bitchy anger like why people just want to yell at you what is that I think it's just you problem it's how people talk on Twitter right my doctor PhD let's do the final word astrophysicist I prefer rocket final word please now on Belgar and mad word recapping this for our show in four minutes which leads to the question doesn't really need to be four hours long now the final word brought to you by Townfare attire if you're looking for the best deal on tires is only one place to go Townfare attire the best prices and great free services nobody beats Townfare attire nobody speaking of a holes this one not itchy but me I think I got accused of being one today because I had what has been referred to as tone for when we were talking about Drake may oh it's back they are not going to do that on Drake may why rush with the quarterback maybe they were a little shaken after the suck postseason performance if there's precedent with these other guys who haven't won dick then yeah then Drake may and his agent can say look it's time for us to get paid after year three it's hard to win dick in three years you can't like are you labeling Drake may as some sort of loser he sucked in the playoffs you are you're doing that don't put words in my mouth but you only named one real winner there and that was my homes well who wins in their first three years my homes and guys at that level real winners okay all I'm saying is oh so you may say he's not worth the money Murray that that's you might be proven right who knows on that I just don't want to rush with any quarterback these days I don't like the way this how's the quarterback going to respond probably not well but I don't perform on the field don't wind your offensive coordinator during the AFC championship game this is hard Murray is he an elite NFL quarterback in today's NFL yeah that tone is all the way back oh yeah no no it's there oh no no no it's never been gone it's just been buried a little but it's never been gone the reintroduction of the tone oh yeah no no it's not back it was there so you think the patient would be right to wait on Drake may I would if I if I was you were if I was a craft yeah I'm waiting this up why rush after that postseason performance and yet some good throws against Houston okay neat would you do the rest of the time how'd you perform in the biggest game of your life he was hurt was he yes how bad why do you make that throw to my Mack Hollins it when he was supposedly hurt well you can rip one off but you just can't do it consistently because the confidence in the shoulder wasn't there okay the tones back it's wonderful I told you I don't think it ever goes away I think it just sits beneath the nice dormant dormant yeah it's like the Loch Ness monster latent is that another word for it mass what do you come from the baseball so a half hour show tonight but there were some bigger picture issues with the Red Sox that I think need to be discussed regarding who they are where they're going these are bigger picture things that I need to be talked about and I'm not sure the Red Sox themselves have the answers anymore okay stay tuned for mass coming up at six o'clock in the baseball hour we're back tomorrow to I'm sorry Murray's out of right with you okay 2pm for an agenda-free Friday everything on the board have a good night everybody see you tomorrow okay
