0:00.0	I'll have her stone. Nothing personal word of the day. Today is June 10, 2021. It is Thursday.
0:28.8	If you can hear me, that's my fault. I'm not where I normally am. I'm not sure where I ever normally am.
0:36.1	I'm not on a road trip. I'm just not with the equipment that I normally use to record this show with Matthew Koka.
0:42.4	So I'm screaming into an actual computer. I hope you can hear me, but we'll be back to normal come tomorrow.
0:50.9	Thank you. This message has been brought to you by no sponsor at all.
0:56.8	Thursday, June 10th, Oliver Stone. Do you know who Oliver Stone is? I had an argument with Koka again.
1:04.2	We're going over the show like we always do. And I said Oliver Stone, people get it. People saw JFK.
1:11.5	And the movie JFK Kevin Kusner, the conspiracy theories about the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
1:19.9	I was told that that joke may go over some people's head, but I made it on Twitter. I'm making it again

1:49.7	Pita Lanzo, who wants to get paid like Francisco Lendor, maybe more than Lendor.
1:55.4	Given how Lendor is hitting for the first place, Mets, maybe he should get more Lendor.
2:00.0	But what I really like to understand is what made Pita Lanzo answer the question he answered last night
2:08.6	when asked about the baseballs, about the substances, a general question, and out of nowhere.
2:18.8	He said that the commissioner, MLB, and the owners, change the balls according to who's going to be a free agent.
2:34.0	I just want to make sure that we're on the same page here.
2:37.0	Pita Lanzo, the New York Mets, said today, yesterday.
2:43.2	It depends when you're listening to this. It doesn't matter when he said it. He simply said
2:47.3	that in his opinion, MLB takes a look at the free agent class.
2:52.2	And if there's going to be a bunch of pictures becoming free agents the following year, they dead in the ball.
