Welcome back to the warm-up program. Al Dukes here with Cilow today. Eddie Scazare is in his spot. Jerry is here, but Jerry is in for Gio, who couldn't get a flight back from Florida. Boomer was supposed to be off. Boomers now in because Boomer's flight got in at a reasonable time, well, an unreasonable time for most of us, but for Boomer, it's reasonable.

So he is coming in because Gio couldn't make it. Well, reasonable enough for him to find his way here so that it wasn't Jerry and myself.

Yes. Gio did not build in a buffer day, which is a requirement for me personally,

more so for just being relaxed one day before coming back to work.

Yeah.

This didn't seem weather related, though.

So I'm sure he'll fill us in tomorrow about that.

I don't understand.

There are certain things I don't understand when they go, partial government shut down.

And they go, what's the one thing we should shut down?

What about security at the airports? We're in the middle of a war with Iran. We're like, what's the one thing we should shut down? What about security at the airports?

We're in the middle of a war with Iran. We're like, what if we cut security at the airports instead? Those Iranians are not going to bomb us. Is that what it was? Yeah. Oh, I thought it was something else. No, I'm just saying there's a lot of delays at airports. Yeah, yeah, because it's the security stuff. Yeah. It's like when you hear like they go

the air traffic controllers are on strike. Oh, awesome. So no one's controlling the skies. All right. That sounds like a great idea. Yeah. Well, I'm sure he'll have all kinds of stories to tell, assuming he actually gets back for tomorrow.

Yeah, we don't know.

We'll see.

We just don't know.

I saw this on Twitter, Brian Hawk.

Is that how you say his last name?

I think it's Hoke.

Hoke, Brian Hoke.

He writes this on Twitter, in other Yankees news.

Meredith Moroakovitz reports, Cam Schlittler needed Yankee security to extract a spider from his locker.
