Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘delay’ as in there was no show yesterday because of a delay. Not just a delay in the show, but a delay in Coca coming home. Why wasn’t he prepped and ready to do a show!? (2:00) Stephen A. Smith said something horrible about Shohei Ohtani. When speaking about why Ohtani can’t be the star of MLB he referenced Ohtani’s inability to speak English “IN THIS COUNTRY!” Let’s discuss how abhorrent those comments are and why the hurt so much. (16:35) Four people were arrested in Denver with 12 firearms, ammunition, and drugs at hotel right next to Coors Field. Let’s talk the messaging behind these arrests and how security works for All Star Game events. (23:05) The Home Run Derby took place and it was supposed to be the Shohei Ohtani show, but Pete Alonso had other plans. The Mets first baseman got the crowd going with monster home runs, dancing at the plate, and an attitude to back it up. Trey Mancini was an amazing story to follow. Juan Soto and Shohei Ohtani’s battle was awesome. (28:48) The MLB Draft took place over the weekend. Did you watch? Probably not. (34:50) Review: Virgin River Season 3. (37:50) Ronald Acuña tore his ACL over the weekend. It is a massive blow not just for the Atlanta Braves, but for the game of baseball.

The

delay. Nothing personal word of the day is delay. As in Matthew, Coco stuck in the Cleveland

0:26.5

airport all day yesterday. We've got a big show ready to go. It's the day the home run

0:32.4

Derby. We've done all of our prep. There were no weather issues. And then I get the text.

0:39.6

We're on the plane. Great. We're ready to record. We're going to be a few hours late. He's

0:43.8

at a wedding. He claims it was a friend of his. Coco does have like three or four friends

0:48.0

back from before he was Coco. In Cleveland, didn't even go to the rock and roll hall of fame,

0:53.7

which is a disgrace. She's going to be in Cleveland. That's what you have to do. And

0:57.3

he's too busy telling that in a time. Is there anything worse than when people tell you

1:00.9

I had no time? Who has time for that? We have time for what we make time for. Coco could

1:07.0

have taken 20 minutes, 20 minutes. That's like one round and go and see the rock and

1:13.2

roll hall of fame. So the text comes in. We've got to get on the plane. We got to get off

1:23.2

what about the show? Show. I can't even get back home. I said, Coco, why don't you travel

1:28.5

with stuff? We could have done it right from the airport. We've got an audience to take

1:32.7

care of. And I was jones and to do a show. But no, he ended up getting home after a 14-hour

1:41.1

travel day. And then has the audacity to text me to tell me how tired and grumpy he is.

1:49.8

But don't worry. If you contact United, you may get a refund within 21 days, or you

1:56.4

may not. And you know what? You missed by not doing a show yesterday. Nothing. Because

2:01.3

we're doing it today for you. Because it was too good to talk about. But we added some
