00:00Question of the day, boys.
00:01What's your backup country?
00:06Because we're what?
00:07Puerto Rico is their part of America.
00:10Because I mentioned this text, I think, Friday.
00:13Or maybe I didn't.
00:14Anyway, my son was watching the Dominicans.
00:17They were in separate games at that time.
00:20And then he watched the U.S.
00:21He goes, how come I find myself cheering for the Dominicans?
00:23They're fun.
00:24That's why.
00:24That's exactly what I told him.
00:25I said, because they have a party.
00:27Yes.
00:27And it got me thinking, obviously, last night.
00:30A lot of people still cheering for the Dominicans.
00:32Or maybe tonight, Venezuela or Italy or whatever.
00:35So, like, I could live in Costa Rica.
00:40You just got back from there.
00:41Yeah, I could live there.
00:42That's one of my backup.
00:44Australia, too.
00:45Well, Costa Rica makes it really comfortable for expats, too.
00:48Yes, it does.
00:49Yeah, like, it's got a lot of the.
00:50If you're looking for.
00:51If you want to go someplace where you can feel like you're like, okay, I don't miss America.
00:55Like, a lot of my standard of living and everything still feels somewhat close to it.
01:00That's, like, an affordable place to do it, right?
01:02Yeah, that's a good one.
01:02Yeah, that's a good one.
01:03And Australia, I loved Australia.
01:04I've never been.
01:05Did you?
01:05Oh, loved Australia.
01:06You've been to Australia?
01:07Yeah.
01:08No.
01:08Okay.
01:09God, no.
01:09I'm not going to sit in a plane that long.
01:10You've been to Australia?
01:10No, no, no.
01:11I'm afraid of all the things that can kill you out there.
01:14Okay.
01:14Yeah, they have a lot of stuff.
01:15Yeah, all of them.
01:16It feels.
01:16But you can stay inside.
01:17Yeah, exactly.
01:18But they get inside, man.
01:20And the tarantulas and the killer kangaroos and all that, man.
01:24He packs a suitcase full of shoes, flies through Australia, and then cleans his shoes the whole time.
01:29Nothing will kill you in this country.
01:34Yeah, but at least I'm playing a home game, man.
01:36That's true.
01:37Playing those away games are rough, brother.
01:38Well put.
01:39Well put.
01:40Well put.
01:41But mine, I've always been a wannabe Italian.
01:45Yeah.
01:45You know, I'm half German, half Irish.
01:48Wait, then why are you not getting down with the Italian team of the WBC?
01:51Because that's exactly what they are.
01:53Yeah.
01:53Yeah.
01:54No, I am kind of down.
01:55Well, I want them to win tonight.
01:56Yeah.
01:57So you get them in the final?
01:58We kick their teeth in and get revenge on them.
02:00I'm into this U.S. team all of a sudden.
02:01I know on Friday I did Five Reasons I Hate You for the U.S. team.
02:04And they were all basically guys that we as Astros fans all hate.
02:08Tongue in cheek.
02:09You guys know that segment's tongue in cheek.
02:10Fair enough.
02:11But I got into it last night, man.
02:13Not so much early.
02:14But once A-Rod told us how much this meant to the Dominican Republic, I like watching people
02:18have their dream squad.
02:19It was really good baseball.
02:21Yeah.
02:21And it was good baseball, too.
02:22It was good baseball, too.
02:23I was about to do a thing that I know a lot of people are going to hate.
02:25You know what?
02:25I'm going to do it anyways.
02:26Hate me if you need to.
02:27Aaron Judge out of right field, gunning down, runner going to third.
02:31Yeah.
02:32That's just good baseball, man.
02:33It was good baseball.
02:34Now, he would have gotten a 15-yard penalty if it was NFL.
02:36Because did you see as he was running back to the dugout?
02:38He went, all right, finger guns.
02:40Now hold the trigger.
02:41Now throw that one.
02:42Yeah.
02:43Yeah.
02:43So.
02:44I would go with Alaska.
02:48What?
02:49I think.
02:51I like the cold.
02:52That's your favorite?
02:53No.
02:53I would go somewhere in northern Canada, I think.
02:56Or somewhere just.
02:58I just can't handle the heat anymore.
03:00If I had to leave, I think I'd go to Scandinavia or Alaska.
03:04Really?
03:05Yeah.
03:05Oh, my goodness.
03:06I can see he was like a Dane.
03:07Alaska is almost like a foreign country in a lot of ways.
03:10It's just a different world up there.
03:12Yeah, man.
03:12But, yeah.
03:13I'm going somewhere where it's cold.
03:15Cold with no people.
03:16That's a set of Dane camera.
03:16Maybe the southern tip of Chile or something.
03:19But, yeah.
03:20It's cold.
03:21Did you guys happen to hear us talking about the eight stereotypes?
03:26No.
03:26For search radio hosts?
03:27I caught, like, as you guys were ending it.
03:29So I didn't get a feel for it.
03:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:30Seth and I are.
03:32Seth and I, I think, fulfilled four of them.
03:33Okay.
03:35The ones that, and you guys may, if you were to do this segment, I'll let you guys self-assess.
03:42The two, the one that I said for Reggie.
03:44Okay.
03:44And Seth and I are both guilty of this.
03:47Contract math guy.
03:48Yeah.
03:49Obsessed with the salary cap.
03:51What does this move mean for the salary cap?
03:53You strike me as a contract math guy.
03:55Yeah, I tend to be a numbers guy.
03:56Yeah.
03:57But I'm also not consistent about it.
03:58Like, I'm a dumb numbers guy.
04:00Yeah.
04:00Where sometimes I'll get into the numbers and sometimes I'm like, eh, it's too much work.
04:03I don't want to feel right.
04:04Right.
04:04But yes.
04:04Yeah.
04:04So I, so I, that one for you, um, hot take thermostat.
04:08Everything is either historic, disastrous, best Texans move ever.
04:12This could set the franchise back a decade.
04:14No middle gear exists.
04:17What up Lopez.
04:18We had John.
04:18Is that all you big dog?
04:20You're welcome.
04:21Well, and admittedly, and admittedly, admittedly, Seth and I said, maybe we need to be a little
04:26bit more of that.
04:27Yeah.
04:27You're welcome.
04:28Yeah.
04:29Okay.
04:29So you agree with that.
04:30Yes.
04:30Don't, doesn't take it as an insult at all.
04:32And that's what a good hot take thermostat does.
04:34Yes.
04:34Does not take it personal.
04:36Just get the shots up, man.
04:37Shoot or shoot.
04:38That's good.
04:39All right.
04:40Good.
04:40So you guys both agree with those.
04:41Yeah.
04:41Yeah.
04:42Good.
04:42Good.
