We're back. We're back. It's the dead cast. I'm Drew. Roth is on vacation. He's in Brazil this week. So I guess we have to have some sort of guest host. I don't know who we could find. Who would we find to be a... Drew, it's time for the White Sox minute. No!

No! Lucas G. Alito recently gave up one strikeout and seven walks and two innings against the Houston Astros.

It was the first time that line had been put up by anybody since Kenny Rogers did it in 1991.

Before that, you have to go back to the 1930s.

So the White Sox this year are already playing in historic fashion.

By God, they told me you were dead.

You can't get rid of me that easily, Drew.

It's Marchman. He's back, and so is Nick Martin. Nick Martin say hi to everybody.

What's going on, everyone? Marchman, what have you been doing since you've been gone?

You are now the special projects person. Have you found the P-Tape yet?

Yeah, and I'm, I'm holding it ransom. I'm waiting for the right time to drop it. So, yeah, I'm at the special projects desk, which for those reader, our listeners who are

curious is an investigative unit at GMG that services all the various sites both uh you know we we do our own

stories and uh you know we take we take care of various things like our secure drop system where you can

send the pee tape to us um and and things of that nature so it's a lot of fun but i miss your i miss your

dulcet tones every week drew Drew, and your bad takes.

Sounds to me like a job where you bounce a tennis ball against a wall all the day. Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Do you have any bad takes for me? I mean, we may as well just get into a good old-fashioned bad take before we start. Or do you want to save that for a little later? You're going to spring it on me. I don't know if I have any takes in me.

I've only had one cup of tea today. do you want to save that for a little later you're going to spring it on me i don't i don't know

if i have any takes in me i i've only had one cup of tea today so i have a new one in front of me though

and hopefully that'll get my that'll get my my engine revving i didn't bring you here so that you

could throw down milk toast takes the people want your shitty awful takes they want to be angry

about it so they yell at you. So think about it.

Maybe Nick's got a bad take. Well, speaking of that, we there was, I want to talk to Nick,
