0:00It's Monday on TGS. Dave is out. He is down in Jupiter hanging out having some fun with spring training and we'll give you some updates on that. If you want to see a couple of photos from his time down there with the boys, that's definitely a boys trip. Oh, yeah. He's having a good boys trip. They all the crew went out to dinner the other night, apparently a four and a half hour dinner. That actually is on the low end of what I would anticipate with that crew because it was, it was John Hancock and Michael Kelly and Dave, Mike Claiborne, Tom Ackerman, Ricky Horton. I think that was the entire crew, but there are a couple photos up on our Facebook page. If you guys want to check that out, see what Dave's been up to. Obviously he's at the ballgame right now. Cardinals are leading seven to two in that game. That's at Roger Dean Stadium and that would be the one that they're at. I don't think they went to West Palm to see the other game where the Cardinals are believe. I don't know if the scores change that I got. Check it real quick. We got the one that's the home game. That one's on TV here. Yeah, they're down against Houston in West Palm Beach. So
1:01a little split squad action for you for the Cardinals today. And if you're interested, JJ Weatherhold, hit a home run just a little bit ago in the game at Roger Dean Stadium. And Bernie Mickless will join us at 230. We'll talk about Weatherhold and a whole bunch of other baseball stuff. I'll have Dave Murray at 330. We'll have Tom Ackerman at four o'clock. So we are business as usual on Monday on DGS. The only thing that's not usual is Dave not here other than that. We'll keep things rolling and Dave will be back next week. So something I want to throw at you guys. And because it's not really well, I mean, it can be anyone, right? Because this is not necessarily for purchasing a new home or getting a new apartment or renting a new property somewhere. It's much more about I think about the Airbnb universe, you know, whether it's VRBOs or verbos or Airbnb's, but apparently landlords are using AI to alter the photos of the rental properties. So they're making them look better than they are online. And then people are getting there and going, wait a minute, the pictures of the interior made this look bigger or made it look better or
2:04like it was more modern, you know, there was a more modern decor. The outside is dilapidated where on the picture it looked really great. So apparently this is a thing that's happening on a regular basis. I searched it. So when I saw the first story on, I saw it on Twitter. And then I went and looked for for examples of news stories. And they're quite a few of them where people are being fooled by AI photos when you're looking at properties online. And again, these I'm assuming these are short term rentals because any that would be long term, right? If you're going to go rent an apartment for a year lease, well, you're going to look at it before you decide to rent it. But with the other stuff, we just you just book it online. You look at the pictures online. You book it. You pay for it. And then you show up and by then it's too late. How is that legal? How is it in any way not fraud? If you're doctoring a place up to look better than it is. And then you get there and it's whether it's trash or not, I don't know, right? We don't know. I don't know the level of all of them. But it's certainly a lot less than what you think you were thought you were booking when you did it on the website. Yeah, I mean, that's a real
3:08bummer. That's why it's so important when using Airbnb to check out the reviews from the other people who have stayed there. That's a tremendous tool that you can utilize because odds are if they're lying about the way the place looks, the former tenants, whatever you want to call them, are going to be calling that out in the in the reviews. But yeah, I don't there's a lot of things. I'm not sure why Airbnb is able to get away with. Well, just the whole thing of like, you have to clean the entire place before you leave. And we're also charging you a cleaning fee. I don't understand how that makes sense. The first time I was first time I was told, do the laundry before I left. I was like, wash the sheets and stuff, wash the sheets, the towels, all that. What the heck? Yeah, I I've only stayed in an Airbnb like once or twice. It was fine, but I'm I'm going hotel pretty much every time because of what Kevin's talking about.
4:14There's just so much more accountability when it comes to staying at a hotel. Yeah, they are incentivized to for the most part, like tell you the truth. If there's an issue, they're going to take care of it. And I'm not expected to clean like, I'm not expected to wander my own sheets at a hotel. I think that is kind of crazy. A lot of it feels like a trap to yeah, yeah, yeah, because it's a lot of I remember one time I stayed in Airbnb for a bachelor party. And one of the many, many, many rules on the listing was that everything has to be everything that was outside, everything that was inside, everything that was out on the dock. Everything had to be exactly where it was when you got there, right? Or they were they would charge you like a $200 fee per thing that was in a different place. Yeah. So if you moved a chair two feet and we moved a lot of chairs before we found the list of rules because it was like a list of rules
5:15on like a menu placard like on the table. Yeah, that no one that definitely feels like a setup. Yeah, it felt we had we ended up using the pictures from their website like the Airbnb, you know, shots to like recreate exactly the way that it was in the photos. And I mean, apparently they're using these tools to like for homes and for like longer term rentals too, like just to get people to come in there. But if I get there and you're showing me something that doesn't look like what I saw, there's no way I'm going to get I'm not buying that house. I'm not renting that apartment. Yeah. Because you you you fooled me. You lied to me. You wasted my time because a lot of times it would be a property. You wouldn't go see otherwise. Yeah. And it makes you wonder why they're doing that in the first place, doesn't it? Because I've had that experience when looking at apartments before the photos make it seem so much nicer than it actually is. And I just asked myself like, well, what was the end game that I showed up and everything was way worse than I was promised. And I go like, you know what? I will sign a lease. Wonderful.
6:22I feel like it's a giant waste of time for anything that someone's going to visit first. But like with an Airbnb, nobody visits them first. Right. Who would do that? You're not going to go visit your future in the hotel you're going to stay at. You're going to trust that the hotel's going to look like it says it does because the company that stands behind it puts their name on it. And they have a lot of them and they know what they're doing. They're professionals. And that's not to say people that own homes that are like short-term rentals don't. But clearly these people that are willing to rip you off. And that's clearly a rip off. I don't even know if you ran into that where you booked a place and you show up and it's nothing like the photos online. Do you have any recourse with those companies other than leaving a bad review? Is that the only recourse you have? Yeah, I'm not sure. I did see a video this weekend of someone. They said their mom booked an Airbnb without looking at the photos. And then it was just like weird. Everything was like movie memorabilia all over the place and it was all like cheap
7:27and well looking. But I was watching it thinking to myself, why on earth would you book a place and not look at the photos? I mean, that's fun. Like you want to know what you're saying. Yeah, it's fun to go and see what this is where I'm going to stay. Yeah, yeah. So weird. Dude, the sheer number of times or ways that your fellow human being looks to rip you off is just frustrating. Yeah. It is so wildly frustrating whether it's people that are trying to scam you on the phone or via email or this type of AIs. And the AI stuff's going to keep getting worse because it's more and more available and it's only getting better. Now, you can still look for things, right? Like the experts in these stories were like, Hey, when you're looking at the photos, pay attention to things that might look weird is a shadow not right. It is part of the image looking like it's bending or it's a weird shape. Like things are not the way they're supposed to be. But man, you feel like this is the stuff that we talk about all the time when it comes to AI and
8:29regulation and the government needing to be ahead of it, not behind it. How hard would it be simply past a law that says it is a federal crime to actively mislead people that are coming to rent or purchase a property. I mean, we already have truth and advertising laws that probably don't get followed as closely as they should. But that is bait and switch. That is absolutely what it is. If you're telling me this place looks like it's got updated paint and it looks nice, it better look like that when you get there. Yeah, I guess you have to ask yourself like, well, who's benefiting from there not being a law for that? Landlords. Right. Guess what landlords have? Right. Typically, again, not everybody because some of these are more individuals. I have family members that have properties that they use to rent out. That's not what I'm talking about. Right. But although it's crime when they do it, if somebody that's a local like I own two houses and I rent them out, if you're doing it, you're just as bad as the wealthy landlord
9:31doing it. But the wealthier ones, when I have money, they have influence. Yeah, the ones that like never have to visit the property because there's so many of that. Like, you know what I mean, I mean, that's when it's just there's just no accountability there. It's sad stuff. I agree with you wheels. Sometimes, I mean, just with everything going on in the world, there is so much like just dishonesty that you have to try and dodge. And then you feel like a chump for being like a regular person at a point. You feel like a chump for not taking advantage of other people. Because it just seems like everybody who's successful or what have you is getting one over on other people in some way. Oh, so just showing the stream Dave sent us a picture from the golf course. So he did it. He told the story last week where Ricky invited him to join the for some
10:31and play today. But Dave doesn't play a lot of golf and he warned Ricky. He texted me and I think he checked with a couple of other people too. He's like, what do I say? Because I don't play enough. I don't want to be terrible. I'm like, just tell Ricky. You're not good and see what he says. And if Ricky says it's no problem, then go have fun. And I guess that was the choice. Dave wouldn't have fun. James got his golf felt fit. I know. I don't think I've I mean, I've never seen him in that. I was going to say I don't think I've ever seen Dave with a collar on his shirt. Yeah. And there's a collar on that shirt. It's cropped weird again. I got to go in and fix it. I wonder if he has an old phone. I don't know what I'm not sure what happens. I'm really not. Although this one fits okay. Like when you click on the photo, it just it comes up and are kind of normal. When you post it to Facebook though, there's like the black bars. Oh, I got the black on the top. Yeah. Yes. Yes. I wonder if he bought that shirt at the gift shop. Dave's probably listening right now. Like I'm going to
11:32see what my chums are saying. And we're like, yeah, but he's never even worn a collared shirt. Hey, listen, that's one of the picture. That's one of the things I admire about the man, because that's what I aspire to be is the guy that never has a collar on his shirt. Yeah, Dave's having fun. Yeah, it looks like a wonderful vacation. It's cool. When we check in with the mind of Texan, so I'm going to text him. How'd you hit him? There we go. We fixed the area. He said he said post away. So go ahead and that'll be on the Facebook page as well. And we'll find out how he hit them when he answers this question. That's called a front selling. We'll find out after the break. Well, maybe. We'll see. Dave's got the review from Dave's out. He's down in Jupiter with the guys. And he just sent us a photo that we posted to our Facebook page. He's there in a portion. John Tudor is in there.
12:36Obviously Ricky Horton was the one that invited Dave to go out and play golf today. And he was a little worried about not wanting to be bad, right? Like last week and I believe me, I would have the same concern. In fact, my first reaction would have been a text Ricky me like, unless you want me to caddy, you don't want me out there. I was like, I can caddy. I'll be all right at that. But I asked him, how'd you hit him? And Dave's response was one of my best outings ever. I didn't bring dishonor to the show. Well done, sir. Well done. Because I would have probably injured someone with my golfing. It would be someone on the fairway to the right of the fairway I was trying to hit it on. It would be the slice side because that's where everything goes for me. Even when I aim left, it goes right because I suck and I don't play golf. Glad he had fun. Yeah. And just it looks like a good time. And I'm sure now it's and let's see, what is it? 330 there? It'll be off to dinner somewhere in a couple of hours. Nice. It would be another five hour dinner. Tune in tomorrow.
13:38Yeah, adventures of Dave and Jupiter. Rates you at something you want to hit here? Yeah. So everyone, you know the actor Timothy Shyamalan. Yeah. Well, everyone is very angry with him right now because he made some comments in an interview that he did with Matthew McConaughey. Timothy said, I don't want to be working in ballet or opera or things where it's like, hey, keep this thing alive. Even though no one cares about this anymore. He also said, you know, all respect to the ballet and opera people out there. But he basically dist ballet and opera and called them art forms that people don't care about anymore. So all weekend, like I said at the top of the show, I was sick all weekend, spend a lot of time just laying on the couch. Unfortunately, spend a lot of time scrolling on my phone because I'm stuck on the couch. I cannot tell you how many people I saw post about Timothy Shyamalan and his insensitive comments about opera and ballet and he doesn't know what he's talking about.
14:44But I had to think as I'm looking at this story, I'm like, there's no way Wheeler disagrees on Timothy. And also, I don't really know anyone who goes to the ballet or goes to the opera. I'm not saying they're bad. I'm not saying like they shouldn't exist. I'm just saying, I don't personally know anyone who's super into those things. I think it's kind of a little bit of a fair point to make overall. I mean, my understanding of what he said was not that he was trying to take shots at people, although he seemed to realize that he did at the end of what he said. It is a reality. It's not very nice to say it out loud, but let's compare the number of people that go to the ballet or go to the opera and how many people go to movies in a given year or for even just a given movie or performance. Clearly, the number of people that truly care about those things is much smaller
15:47than it would have been the percentage of people much smaller than it would have been 100 years ago, 200 years ago. And it's not none. And it doesn't mean that those performers aren't amazing. It doesn't mean that they're not worthwhile, of course they are. But I'll tell you this, here's my weird end-around defense of Timothy Shalameh. A lot of those people in the higher arts are really snobby about what other people like. Oh, you like comic books. Oh, you like video games. Oh, so if you don't like being judged, maybe you shouldn't be judgey either. Because it's one of the things that have always gotten to me like people. And again, I'm not downing any art form. You like what you like. And the fact that it's been around for a long time testifies to its staying power. There's no question. That's not what I'm getting to. What I'm getting to is that it's not nice when someone snipes at you. So don't snipe down at down. I say that in ear quotes. You know, like, oh, you just like action movies. Yeah, I like action movies. So what? You like ballet? That's
16:51great. I'm happy for you. Don't talk down to me because I don't like what you don't like. I don't like what you do. And I think there's a lot of that back and forth when it comes to art and entertainment, where my kinds are more special than your kinds. Yeah, I think you're right. I also think it's maybe just an indicator of how much we like to fight and how much we like to get mad. Because I guarantee you not every post I saw was coming from a lover of the opera or the ballet. You know, it was just kind of an excuse to be like, oh, he said something. Oh, I could get in there and I could say something to him. And also, look, I work in radio up until about a year ago, I worked in AM radio. Yeah. People make snarky comments. That's a real thing. If I were to like rent my clothes and start crying every time someone made a snarky comment, like it's just not worth it. You just go like, okay, man, yeah, I get it. It's not for you. And you move on with your day and you work on the thing that you're passionate about. And that should be good enough. I don't need
17:55everyone to get what I'm doing and to agree that it's the most cutting edge thing in the world. If you're a person that enjoys the the arts that that Chalamet was referring to there. So ballet opera, you could throw in symphony orchestra as like the similar you're like in terms of how long they've been around and you know, the staying power of those art forms, they're similar to me. If you're a person that loves those and you don't judge anybody else, we're not talking about you. Right. But you know the people that I'm talking about. The people that were like ours are refined and special and yours are just so stupid. And if you don't like someone on this side of the aisle, firing off shots, maybe rethink that attitude. And again, for people that aren't doing those things, we're not talking about you. You're normal. We love you. All right. It's Monday on DGS. Dave is out. He is down in Jupiter hanging with his buddies. He
19:01went down with Michael Kelly and he's been hanging with Ricky Horton and Mike Claiborne and the guys. And yeah, you know, I'm always jealous when someone goes to Jupiter and I'm not getting to go to Jupiter, but I'm glad he's down there having fun. Played around a golf today. And according to him, went better than he thought it would. Our buddy, Bernie Miklis is joining us. Bernie, anything you'd like us to send off today as a message while he's down there and joining the floor to son? Well, you know, whether it's coincidence or not, I believe in a, you know, higher power, of course. He goes down there and at Roger Dean's stadium today, you know, JJ Weatherhold and Joshua Bias are wrecking the plate. Just four, you know, between them. And by the way, all of these things were evenly distributed, right? Yeah. The two of them in that win over the Orioles today combined for four two homers, four hits, four runs batted in two runs scored. I, you know, I, I'm kind of looking forward to watching them together. I don't know that they'll be together in 2026 and St. Louis,
20:04but if you want to get a glimpse of the future, I mean, these two dudes are really exciting. Yeah. Let's start with Weatherhold because the weather holds the opening day second basement. I mean, there's, he's, he's done well enough, I think, to this point, Bernie, given his track record, his minor league, right? Like, there's the battles over. He's won it. He homeworked again today, so he's showing power. And it's not easy to hit for power in spring training. Well, no, especially in that ballpark. Right. Yeah, it's easy in Arizona. It's not so easy down and forward. Yeah. No, listen, Weatherhold can hit for power if he gets a pitch to drive. You know, he's just not going to try to pull everything out of the yard on his bullseye on some pitch that's low and outside. Yeah. He's got the discipline to know which pitches he can punish and which pitches he can put in play, maybe get a base hit. So really good. And you know, the bias thing, I heard he'd behind Bloom talking to Tom Ackerman yesterday. I don't think anybody, I don't think anybody expects realistically expect there's even a chance that he'll be with the team to start the
21:09season. And I understand why. Yeah. But boy, this thing kind of wets your appetite, though, to see what he's been doing. And his talent is legitimate. I mean, this is, this is a guy, this is a dude. And I think he'll go down to Memphis. I predicted a few weeks ago and something I wrote. I predicted, we'll, we'll see by as after the all star break, maybe sooner if they traded Lars Newport. But, but just to think about them together for a long time, pretty exciting. Yeah. And look, we've been talking a lot about Weatherhold. So I think there's a lot more known about him, right? He's one of the top. I know, depending on which service you're looking at, he's somewhere between three and eight. Like he's definitely one of the elite prospects in the game. Certainly one of the two or three best pure hitting prospects in the game. Maybe Kevin McGonagall is there a guy like Connor Griffin's a little bit more of a toolsy guy than just a pure hitter, but crazy power and speed. But he's in that group of guys. We haven't, and for our listeners
22:11that are, you know, maybe not as hardcore sports fans, being here on DGS as they would be listening to us on rush hour sports burn. Let's talk a couple of minutes about bias because before last year, he was struggling to kind of get through. You know, he was just typically young guy things, a lot of swing and miss wasn't making enough contact, missing a lot of time with injuries for a couple of years. And then this past season stayed relatively healthy, had a big breakout year with 20 home runs and 54 stolen bases. And I'll tell you, only 117 games. So that tells you that, you know, if you're in 20 home runs and 117, if you add 20 or 30 to that, we're looking at a 20 35 home or got 25 30 home or guy and a big athlete who checks all of the scouting boxes. And the biggest part of his story because it, it links two things together. I mean, he's got an immense amount of natural talent with his strength, his power, his speed, and a rocket arm. He's got a great outfield arm. But part two of this connection is that maybe, maybe some
23:15Cardinals fans got tired of hearing Wheeler, Nicholas, Pauli, Ackerman, Derek Gold, whomever are talking about how important it was to have a dramatically improved enhanced player development system that can make a huge difference with their prospects. Their prospects were not getting the help that they needed to become at their best type of player. So it's like, well, you guys are all talking about this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Bias got off to a terrible start in 2025. Swinging miss, swinging miss, strikeout strikeout strikeout. He was all messed up in the batter's box. So Larry Day and Rob Sirfolio and just so people know the reference, Larry Day is the farm director. Sirfolio is the director of player development. So what did they do? They say, well, you know, well, you know, just, you know, look for your pitch, look for your pitch, you know, no, they took advantage of the new technology that the Cardinals now have for
24:17their prospects. They literally took Bias out of the lineup for about a week. They wanted a reprogram him and they took him inside and they had, they put him in the batter's box. He was taking his swings. They were recording everything. There were sensors. They got it from every angle. They realized that his motion inside the batter's box was working against him being a good hitter because he was too busy. He was, he was moving all over the place. He wasn't in sync. And he, he couldn't reach pit certain pitches. So they completely changed it, seeing that technological evidence. They changed his stance. They made him more upright. They got, they slowed him down. They got him to the point where his hands were even quicker than they were before. But he could reach every type of pitch. Right. And with, and with that came a lot of confidence. So for all the skeptics that are wondering, well, this wasn't about you guys keep talking
25:17player development. This was about the Cardinals wanting to save money or whatever. No, actually, you're going to be excited about Joshua Bias sometime soon. He is the number one example, the first example of a difference. These guys can make it in the, in the trajectory of a, of really promising franchise. He was the first test case. Yeah. And look at what's happening. It's a great, it's a great place to start. And, and we'll see him this year. As you pointed out, it won't be opening day. They're going to give other guys looks that are already set to go. But he, I'd be shocked if we don't see him this year, whether it's the result of a new trade or maybe a guy like Walker or even a guy like Victor Scott, if those guys are struggling, I don't think they're still on scholarship. And a guy like Bias can easily do that because he played mostly center field last year. And as you noted, for a big guy at six, three, two, 20, he can run. Yeah. And I'll be brief this time because I went a long time in a previous answer. The thing, the thing of it is he, one of the reasons time blooms not going to rush into the majors,
26:20he legitimately believes Bias could use some time at AAA. And I think it's smart. And I especially think it's smart because we all know what happened at Jordan Walker when the previous regime decided to ignore the warning science. They just ignored it because they were all caught up in the narrative. They wanted to introduce their new star. They rushed Jordan Walker to the major leagues from AA. Never taught him how to play right field. Never, never did anything major to correct his swing to get him to stop hitting so many ground balls. And they're, they're just, they're not going to do that same type of stupid thing with a kid like Josh bias. Right. So that's why this is why the regime, this is why the regime change is such a big deal potentially. Totally agree. Other thing from today, Bern, I know there was a split squad game. Only one was televised and it was the one that was played at Roger Dean. The one we're talking about where weather holding bias were in the lineup. But another start from Matthew Libertor, five solid innings, seven strikeouts.
27:21And again, I don't care about the numbers in spring. What's better is talking about traits and characteristics and pitch usages. And it seems like at least today. And again, we don't know if this is going to last or if it was just a today thing because this is what he was working on. But a few less in terms of percentage use on the fastball, in particular, the sinker and the forcing fastball, a little more slider. Obviously, the curve and change up have been elite now really for a couple of years. But he's a guy that is capable of another step. And I think, and Matt Pauli and I talked about this last week, I think, Bernie, got to find a fastball that works because all of his fastballs got hit last year. Well, that that's why they're trying to perfect his change up. And I think they got him thrown a splitter. So they're trying to get people off the fastball. So, so again, they intervened and made some helpful recommendations. He's got really good stuff. And I was talking to Will Leach today. We were doing a new seeing red podcast. And I said, the thing about Libertor that impresses me, everything that I've seen this spring. He's really
28:23confident now. Yeah. It's like he knows he realizes, okay, it's my time. I know what I have to be. I'm not a kid anymore. Let's go. I get it. I know what my role is. I know what I have to do. He is mentally, he is primed. Where last year, I think he had some doubt because he was a starter in the big leagues for the first time. Right. And I think, I mean, think about it. This is literally the first spring. He's known what his job is coming in. You know, last year he had to earn it. Last year, we he didn't know if it was bullpen. If it was going to be rotation, he knows who he is. He's the opening day starter. He's going to be the guy that's going to take the ball on whatever March 26th. Right. So, I listen, I've, I've been really impressed by their the starting pitchers, the six guys that will be in the rotation. I'm really impressed as a group what they've done so far. I mean, now, yeah, is there a little bit of a hazard in basing everything on ERA? Yeah, of course, it's spring training. That's not the point.
29:23You know, you can see that just about every one of those guys is throwing harder, the velocities up. They've all, they all came in a camp with a new pitch or a reshaped pitch or some kind of change in their arsenal. So, they all made offseason adjustments and they came to the party with more to offer. So, this isn't like the same guys just out there doing what they did last year. These are the same guys, the same human beings, but they came back modified because they're doing several things different. And that's, that's the big deal there. Absolutely. And, and, and Bern weekend talk more about the bullpen leader in the week, but just a quick thought on it. It's not so much because of today, but you know, you look at the guys that followed Liberator today. And it was sponsor Fernandez Roy Croft and Soriano. All of them between 95 and 100 miles an hour regularly. Soriano was sitting 98, basically all of his outing today. And those guys combined with seven strikeouts and four innings. Now again, spring training, second half of the game, we know a lot of times you're starting to see more and more guys that
30:26are not regular big leagueers, especially for a team that traveled, you know, teams don't travel their whole big league roster, usually only bring three or four guys that are true big leagueers on these road trips in in Florida, but still power arms that can miss bats. And we haven't even, and that doesn't even count Stanik who didn't pitch today, but has pitched well since the, since he arrived. Listen, I have, I have access to kind of, I don't, I don't know what the, I don't, I don't know what to call it, because I don't want to get into any trouble, but it's kind of a, a proprietary system that shows me stuff, stuff, you know, a guy has great stuff where he doesn't or he's average. The Cardinals this spring, they have a bunch of guys who, who score very, very well in the stuff ranking, stuff meaning how good are your pitches? That's basically what it means. They have a bunch of guys that are that look like stars on those charts. And that's a big
31:26change. It isn't just the Velo, it's the movement. Right. It's, it's also the, the variety of pitches that they're throwing. And yeah, the velocity, the Cardinals are finally up the speed. I mean, people like us and other sounds talking baseball, they've been talking about, but you know, a bunch of guys throw 98 for 10 years. Yeah. You know, the, you know, the Cardinals, it's like, what is this 98 stuff? It's like it's a whole new world here in St. Louis because the Cardinals, the Cardinals were so stuck in the past with their pitching approach. Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. All right. Well, we'll talk more about all of this tonight, but you and me on Redbird Rush Hour in the five o'clock hour today. But before we get to anything further, why don't you tell us about Saliga and we'll check in with you later on today. Yep. Good being with the wheel. It's Monday on DDS. This is flying by, man. Yeah, whether with Dave Murray at 330, Tom Akerman's going to join us at four o'clock. We'll talk a bit about the happenings down in Jupiter. So a little more baseball and then Bernie and I will do that again from five until six tonight
32:28on Redbird Rush Hour. Rachel, do you have fun facts? I do have some fun facts for you. Let's start with Miami. Wheels knows all of them. I love Miami. Let's go. Did you know that Miami is the only major American city that was founded by a woman? I did not know that. And yesterday was International Women's Day. All right. Can't wait to see what you guys got for me. What was her name? Oh, I don't know. This is Miami. I don't know. It doesn't say on the fun fact sheet. Her name is Annie. And she's like, this is Miami. I just saw you deflected as soon as we started talking about my upcoming gift. Well, the thing is it fell on a, did you hear something? It fell on a Saturday this year. So I, you know, Sunday, this year, the hours. I didn't think, you know, I didn't think we knew, you know, it's like when Christmas, it's like when Christmas is on a weekend,
33:28you don't have to do presents. Right. Exactly. Okay. There was a daylight saving time pole. 64% of Americans want to stop shifting the clocks twice a year. Only 16% want to keep doing what we're doing. 21% still aren't sure. But the survey also found that one in seven Americans usually forget it's coming and get caught by surprise. I totally forgot it was coming this weekend. It didn't matter because I had nothing going on Sunday. But so I go to sleep most nights, headphones on listening to my music. And yes, my music, the really loud metal stuff. I fall asleep to him. Sorry, he just calms me. I had it on. And a lot of times I will fall asleep while it's still playing and then it either turns off or sometimes if I haven't turned off the, what do you call it? What's it called when it continues to auto play? Once it reaches the end of a playlist shuffle the shot. And whatever it is, it continues. They repeat. Yeah, the repeat. I woke up. So I went to bed. I was like 130 something like that when I went to bed, put the headphones on turn on the music.
34:33And then I woke up at 340. And the music was still going. And I'm like, did I just sleep for two hours of the music? I like turns out no. It was less than an hour because the clock had changed. And that was where I had a moment where I was like, what is happening? And I didn't clock it at that time. I didn't figure it out until I actually woke up and saw that the clock on the stove was different than the clock on my phone. I got to say having Dave Murray on the show helps me keep track. He does remind us that like saving situation. I like, I like when they do the polls and it's you say like, you know, well, 35% aren't sure. I just think it's very funny to take the time to answer a poll, but still be like, yeah, I don't know. Yeah. Should we stick to what it is now, like what it is when we have the summertime, where it's late, it's lighter later. I like that. Should that be year round? I personally like that, but it's weird. I was thinking this morning, like, I don't know if I'm ready for spring. Is that a crazy thing to say? Yes. I guess it is.
35:35Don't need anymore that nonsense for the winter. The years keep coming and they don't stop. Come on, come on.
