04:33I forgot a hat oh so you had to go in the clubhouse and buy no I know I I
04:38had to sprint to get there
04:40and by the time I got there everyone was on the tee box so I played hatless like like Robert
04:45Rock
04:45if you want to see his swing that is because beltway golfer posted a video on instagram follow
04:52us at sports junkies radio it's in our stories you can see him smashing the ball don't you have like
04:58a quarter of golfdom's inventory in the back of your like in your trunk how do you not have a
05:04spare hat
05:04I just I forgot I just forgot to throw in in my in the car got it like I got
05:08a bunch of them in the
05:09garage and everything and I just I forgot to I forgot to snag one on the way out okay I
05:14always
05:14have a couple hats in the trunk got to gotta have a god has the spares never know when you
05:18need one
05:19that is true it's very true flame act by the way not a hat guy although I do wear a
05:23hat on the golf
05:23course on occasion yesterday I was a pain in my butt at my house because I picked weeds oh that's
05:30a terrible job and I wasn't picking weeds from the from the yard I was picking weeds crabgrass
05:36because it was growing in between my stones on my back patio okay and that is a pain in the
05:42butt
05:42you just use your hand there right yeah but then I put some weed killer on it I just poured
05:47it all
05:47over my back patio it's a pain in the ass you know what you know what I really hate manual
05:53labor
05:53like that oh I hate it manual labor is but I had to do it of my existence I had
05:58to do it because if I
05:59don't do it this is going to grow I understand sometimes you got to do those things like I'm in
06:03the
06:03heat and with the thunderstorms yeah yeah they grow so quick understood so I had to pick those
06:09that took like 45 minutes and then I found an ant farm in my front yard about an ant farm
06:15in the
06:15mulch yeah I have a bunch of ant farms oh I got to kill those I'm the opposite of a
06:20green thumb this
06:21year the clovers just took over and you can see them because there's the line of them and you can
06:26you got to just find out where they're coming from where they're going and I found them then
06:30eradicate them and I picked up a scoop of mulch oh my gosh there were probably a million ants there
06:37had to be with with food in their mouth yeah you disrupted their colony killed them all yeah but I
06:42did that picked the weeds and killed ants that sounds like a lot of killing insects after uh Brazil
06:47one yeah what was that you love killing insects like those uh bees that were down the street from
06:52you oh you mean the the lanternflies oh whatever it was yeah oh they'll be back this summer they're
06:57an invasive species jp you're supposed to kill them just so you know all right you have full
07:03right do you think job morant killed ants yesterday at his house probably not picked weeds I'm gonna
07:10guess he didn't do either of those things he was just too worried about uh getting traded to portland
07:14now he's looking for a place to live in portland yep job morant you know what you should reach out
07:19to drab t-shirt drab knows portland where should he live in portland yeah drab what's a nice swanky
07:23neighborhood for john morant to move what's the uh what's the potomac of or the like the mclean of
07:29portland lake oswego oh like oswego there was a special about the uh jailblazers yeah i think
07:37that's where they all lived right and the residents hated because like rasheed wallace was throwing
07:41parties all the time it was loud lake oswego oregon let's see let's take a look oh it does look
07:47nice
07:47well that's what he's going to be looking for it's fancy it's an interesting move for portland
07:52now portland last year actually made the playoffs didn't they take a game from the spurs
07:58did they really yes okay and they're on the upswing with danny avdia but now they add him
08:06john morant to a backcourt he's very ball dominant you're gonna get damian lillard back
08:12you got drew holiday who's really good then you of course drafted scoot henderson
08:18it's a lot of guards there you know they're they're rumored now to possibly be in on the
08:25jalen brown sweepstakes so they probably have to trade some of those young guys and picks
08:30i just i just wonder it it it feels like a lot of these western conference teams and maybe i
08:35don't
08:36blame them the spurs make it all the way to the finals okc's really good young feels like they're
08:43all grasping because it's desperate well minnesota they gotta they gotta do something right so
08:47minnesota shakes it up they they move julius randall and they get another trade for lamello ball
08:54i don't know how that's going to work with ant and i don't know how great john morant denny avdia
08:59mix but dude sometimes you sometimes you got to acquire talent just like the wizards did they got
09:04first round draft picks for for trading for anthony davis nobody wanted him next thing we know now
09:09we're talking about trading to warriors and getting first round draft picks back so this is the same thing
09:12that blazers did when you're a team that's not great or a smaller market you got to trade for
09:17talent and and improve it so uh they shipped out jeremy grant and chris murray yeah they didn't give
09:23up anything gives an f the return is so small i'll take john morant and try to figure it out
09:28on the
09:28court later damn how bitter he is could you get more defensive i mean he loves i'm a passionate blazer
09:35i love the blazer jason i have opinions on it i mean jesus christ uh john morant uh can we
09:41swing you
09:41to the wizards full time can that happen is that ever gonna happen or no you're just always gonna
09:46carry the torch for the blazers but they'll probably never be number one for me you know what you have
09:50a west coast team and east coast if seattle got a team back though you would bounce to seattle
09:54right no no no no no so you've always been a portland guy my parents are from portland
09:58all right so john morant soft spot john morant's going to portland and jeremy grant is the dematha
10:06boy he's coming to memphis chris murray who was a first round pick but he i don't know he doesn't
10:13do anything he averages was the average about four points a game look there was a period of time where
10:19john morant before the suspension and everything was the guy who was ascending to be a top five
10:24player in the league he was one of the best players of course then he had the shoulder injury
10:27and then he had the gun to charge the blazers are bringing in a distressed asset and they're hoping
10:32that they can rehab his game and his image in portland his shooting percentage in the lane went
10:37down last year like that's what he's really good at is getting in the lane and for whatever reason his
10:42shooting percentage went down so you know free agency has started and you know you have all these
10:49big name players being traded we'll see what happens with like lebron and anthony davis guys like that
10:55chris taps porzingis he signed a two-year deal with golden state for 20 million per that's pretty
11:05nice 20 million per that seems like that's not a ton of money for him yeah when he's on the
11:11court
11:11he's an excellent player the problem is he's much like anthony davis yeah he's always injured yeah
11:17let's see what he did let's see how many games he's played in the last few years i did laugh
11:20at the
11:20draft party that there was a there was a dude wearing a chris taps porzingis wizards jersey
11:25and to really compliment it he had a full leg brace on like from it went almost from his hip
11:32down to
11:32his ankle like he was really selling the porzingis bit yeah or he was legitimately hurt or he was
11:39legitimately had some sort of surgery i'm gonna guess it's probably the latter so chris taps was this
11:44year about year 12 or so 10 or 11 12 something like that uh i played 23 games sorry 32
11:51games last
11:52year pods pods gold team puzzle something like that uh we got the most out of 65 we squeezed 65
12:00games
12:00out of that body that's pretty impressive so for dallas the year before before that trade he was uh
12:06he played 34 year before that he played 43 yeah he just he always hurt always banged up
12:15but golden state said eff it still gonna make 20 million we're gonna give him 40 million per
12:20pretty nice all right so the gnats lose at fenway yesterday red socks pretty hot they've won nine of
12:2812 they've won five straight they took four straight in a sweep over the yankees before this uh first game
12:34of the nat series james wood hit a monster home run though for the nash that was about the only
12:39real
12:40highlight for them offensively yeah he hit number 21 um but miles michaelis was just he just got
12:47shelled early and he gave up four in the bottom first gave up another one in the second gives
12:52another one in the third socks have won five straight now jason on a bona fide heater yeah no but
12:56they're still last place oh they still yeah still at the bottom i mean they're like eight nine games
13:00under 500 but um yeah michaelis was just bad now he ended up settling down a little bit but he
13:06ended up
13:07giving up six runs nine hits over seven innings and blake peter just couldn't he couldn't go to
13:13the bullpen that early he couldn't go in the second inning he wasn't gonna do that so it's like you
13:18know what michaelis you're just gonna have to you're gonna have to stay out there you have to deal
13:22with tax the bullpen anymore and uh so they lose six to three so wood did hit number 21 um
13:30mead had a couple more hits but you know it's just a bad start for for for ball for washington
13:36they give up all those runs and they were in a hole early i'll tell you what juan soto made
13:41one of
13:41the worst plays jason's been obsessing on this well it's an awful play for a major leaguer all right
13:47it's embarrassing george springer of the blue jays is up it's a ball you know it's gonna drop for a
13:53single juan soto who makes freaking 800 million dollars makes one of the worst efforts of all
13:59time that you'll ever see we let's the ball get it's like it's like an eight-year-old trying to
14:04make a play on a on a ball hit the left field all right he is awful defensively juan soto
14:09is an
14:10embarrassment defensively did you have money on the game no it's just sure i'm sure i would never take
14:16the mets it's tough to bet on the mats so he doesn't even make an effort doesn't try and die
14:21for it
14:21doesn't stop his his momentum just to block the ball he just gives a he gives a d-minus effort
14:27for
14:27the ball ball goes to the wall aj ewing the center fielder goes over picks the ball up and then
14:34drops
14:34it and the ball goes another 15 feet away from him george springer rounds the bases i mean it's just
14:41the mets are a joke mon soda is a joke defensively he can hit the hell out of the ball
14:45but he's an
14:46embarrassment defensively i did see that either vinnie or joe whoever runs tails
14:50from the foxy gator on twitter said please make it stop this team is making my eyes bleed
14:57i think it's vinnie is it vinnie i think could you imagine you're steve cohen and you're spending
15:03what's the mets payroll well north of 300 million 300 million dollars and they're an abject disaster
15:09i would never play soto in the field i would just dh him or move him to first if he
15:13could do that it was
15:14a terrible play i just watched i just watched the clip he's a joke all right um we talked about
15:19the
15:19world cup let off the show with that yesterday triple header brazil beats japan to one germany
15:26paraguay go to extra time then they go to uh the shootout paraguay upsets germany so they advance
15:33a parlay blown to smithereens i mean it was very small play yeah yeah i took all the favorites oh
15:39i
15:39big loser i had germany big fat loser it was three parlays i was hit i was hitting all my
15:44my goal
15:45scored uh aspects of the parlays but i didn't hit germany and then add them in three i thought they
15:50were going to beat paraguay because we pounded them that's what i thought too apparently germany
15:54overrated overrated and then uh netherlands morocco they go to over uh shootout and then
16:00morocco beats them so netherlands out germany out yeah today triple header starting at
