Ding dong, it's Drizzly. Someone sent you holiday drinks. Hey, thanks. Can I guess what it is? Eggnog from a friend? I don't think so. A vintage red for dinner with the in-laws tonight? How did you know I'm going? Or is it an apology scotch from your neighbors for driving through your lawn? What? That was Randy? Aw, it's a mezcal for my dad.

Wow.

Is he single?

I know. Hey, guys, welcome to the show.

This is view from the cheap seats.

We are the Scalar

brothers we love talking about sports with you guys every Friday and we want to

thank everyone who's been following this show rate it and review it that puts

it back up there and we have a great guest on the show today we have James Davis

he's a killer comic.

He had a very funny show on Comedy Central called Hood Adjacent. And his hour on stand-up special was really one of the best stand-up specials I've seen in the last couple of years. Just one of our favorite people. Love sports. Huge basketball fan, huge Lakers fan, huge golf fan. So we're going to get into all that with him,

talk about where his mind is at after the Lakers. When we record this, lost the first game of their playoff series to an unbelievable Portland team that's on fire. We'll find out where his psychology

is at. And then later on the show, Nicholas Cage, who is getting ready for his role as the Tiger

King has a very unique way of getting into that role, and it is sports-related. Later on the show, Nicholas Cage, who is getting ready for his role as the Tiger King,

has a very unique way of getting into that role, and it is sports-related, so we'll get a voicemail from him.

But first, let's talk about the unwritten rules of baseball, because this is what everyone's

talking about.

We sort of take the temperature and find out what is the issue this week that is sort of rankling feathers or

it's dealt with a lot of starts and stops it's still getting through its its season. I can't believe they're getting through their season. I mean, yes, the Cubs have, you know, played 20 games and the Cardinals have played eight, but it's still happening. And doubleheaders, the seven inning games aren't bothering people to a certain point. I watched a couple of seven-inning double-header games and they were fine. But the thing that is, so there's a lot of changes, there are a lot of changes in baseball. They even changed the way an extra innings game. If you're, if you're tied at the end of seven or nine, a seven double-header or nine in a regular game, the other team, the away team starts with a runner on second base. And then the home team gets the very same thing. You starts with a runner on second base.
