| 0:00.0 | You really want to talk about Cubs baseball though, right? |
| 0:02.8 | That's why we're here. Chicago Cubs 2015 National League Champs. |
| 0:08.3 | I got to tell you, I am delighted to have Joe Madden out of the ALEs. |
| 0:14.7 | That guy, I think he is the best manager in baseball. I really do. |
| 0:20.8 | Well, I heard similar things about Don Baylor, Dusty Baker and Lou Pennella before they |
| 0:29.2 | signed down with the Cubs too. Sweet Lou was a good manager. I think. He's got a certain style and |
| 0:38.0 | intensity. He was a good manager with the Yankees. I thought he was a good manager with Seattle. |

| 1:41.2 | Oh, yeah. You got to do that. You got to make a prop bet. |
| 1:45.6 | We're going to do it. Prop bets are fun for two reasons. One, you get great odds. I don't |
| 1:50.9 | know what the Cubs are at, but I bet they're probably like 15 to one at least. Maybe more. |
| 1:54.8 | Something I don't even know. Number two, you have the challenge of keeping track of that little |
| 1:59.2 | piece of paper for nine months. Right? And it's like, I don't even think they print them on super high |
