Hunter Biden Files Counterclaims Against Computer Repairman
"I want to play an audio clip for you because I said that I wouldn't totally forgot to ask Sean to play it. So I do want to play audio clip number three Sean of Hunter Biden fouls a countersuit against the laptop repairman. So John Paul Mack Isaac is the guy who ran the computer shop in Delaware and he's been countersued as of an hour ago apparently. Hunter Biden's team is arguing that they had no right to he had no right to copy his private information from the laptop and distribute it. Remember that laptop was there for more than a year. I do believe, right? And he was like, when's the guy going to come and get it? So now they have launched their own legal suit too. That's also the laptop that the media said didn't exist, or wasn't theirs, or was Russia disinformation. Now, his legal team is saying, obviously, that was his property. That he left there. And they don't have a right to do anything with it. We'll see how that holds up in court. But you see a new sort of posture of led by Abby Lowell famous lawyer in D.C. to punch back and push against Republican efforts to try to get information on this. Okay. All right, so that's what they're going to do. That's what the left is going to continue to do. They are, these are people that are going to squash dissent. I'm telling you, we'll get into that into the in the third hour, but they destroy the culture. They are a corrupt bunch of people.

Who Is the Greatest Champion of Free Speech?
"Who is the greatest champion of free speech? In the world today. I think there's really only one answer to that question. And it is Elon Musk. At great cost to himself, also at considerable risk of his reputation. Elon Musk has taken up this cause and taken it up with a vengeance. In fact, his purchase of Twitter, $44 billion, wow, is a vehicle of Elon Musk fighting valiantly the free speech battle. And as hard to say a bigger battle that is more important to fight today. It's amazing how censorship is not only gained a foothold. It's become the operating manual for huge and powerful government agencies, nonprofits, even corporations have now gotten into the act. And all of these nasty things like cancel culture come out of this attempt to repress and suppress. Free speech. Well, it looks like the Biden administration, which is part of the censorship brigade, is trying to fight back against Twitter to strive to squash and pressure and silence Elon Musk. And since Musk took over Twitter, which was October 27th of last year, he has gotten no less than 12 letters from the Federal Trade Commission. Asking him all kinds of questions and asking him to supply all kinds of data.

Victor Davis Hanson: 'Put on Your Armor and Face These People'
"Get your reaction to the election of the speaker? I was asked that by Tucker on Fox News and I think day two when I said, I think another four to 8 hours would be helpful, but after that would be counterproductive only because why they were hammering out an agenda and a protocol that was long overdue when it was messy, you looked at the other side and it was almost stalinist. It was 212 on every single bow. There was not one defection for Jeffreys. When they have a defection on Ukraine, they squash it. We're dealing with some of the most disciplined, hardcore cadres on the left. This is not the old messy Democratic Party that was all over the map. These people are hardcore leftists. So when we're trying to deal with them, I like the idea that we're getting these issues out in front of the American people, we're arguing over them, but my only point was after three or four days, I think it's time to put on your arm or face these people

A Prayer for Flexibility in Our Planning
"In proper 1921, Solomon understood the importance of having a good plan. He miss assuredly ascribed to those who failed to plan plan to fail. Mentality. Maybe his reason for stressing the importance of a good plan was that he oversaw all the intricate details involved in designing and building the temple and other important structures in his kingdom. Whatever the reason, in Solomon's wisdom, he reinforced throughout proverbs, the importance of consulting with godly council, seeking God's will, and all of the vital parts of the planning process. However, Solomon also warns us that we mustn't hold our plans with the tight fist, but rather an open palm. Humans can provide the perfect plan, outline the right road map for success or perfect their proposal. But only the lord's intentions will come to fruition. That doesn't mean we should neglect to make any arrangements abandoned thinking about the future or squashed excitement for an upcoming event. However, we do have to remain flexible in our planning because sometimes our plans don't work out the way we hit. Sometimes we need the reminder that God's will Trump's our plans. James four 15. After I got my daughter home and settled, I updated the sitter we wouldn't be coming tonight and canceled the weekend plans. And instead of annoyance, I felt relief. More than we needed a date night, God knew our family needed to rest and relax. The unforeseen illness and canceled plans resulted in a cleared calendar and reminded us how God works all things, good and bad, out for our good and his glory. May we approach planning humbly, learning to adjust and adapt when things don't work out how we hoped, because God is all annoying and loves us dearly, we can trust his plans are always better than anything we orchestrate. May this truth free us to hold our plans loosely, dad quickly, when things don't work out the way we hoped. Let's pray. Dear God, thank you for your sovereign control over all areas of our lives. Please guide us as we seek to do your will by leaning on your words in the scriptures. Help us to be flexible in our planning and approaching planning with humility and surrender. But we not rely on our own ability, leaning on godlike wisdom and trusting that you're always working with the good of your people. When our planes fail, give us the grace to adjust and adapt, finding an opportunity to be joyful in our circumstances, but it's being encouraged not to boast about tomorrow, but take great delight in serving you today and everything we say and do. Thank you for your Salvation plan sending your son to redeem your creation from this following world. We love you. Amen.

Miranda Devine: FBI Tracked Giuliani's Opposition Research on Biden
"One of the other components of this story that's being squashed by the media And one that I think is explosive as well is that the FBI was watching Rudy Giuliani's traffic likely in live time through some through a warrant to spy on his iCloud So when Rudy Giuliani who had this information about the Hunter Biden laptop the FBI almost had like the defensive and offensive playbook for the other team in advance So then they go out every time they're watching Giuliani probably send a message whether they're getting it in live time or on delay and they essentially know what the political oppo research on Joe Biden's going to be and then they go to the tech companies and squash it That's a part of this story that's strangely outside a conservative media been largely sidelined Yeah Amazing curiosity from the rest of the media from the left wing media because of course they're all in the tank for the Democrats and it's embarrassing to them because not only did they run the Russia collusion hoax and get political for it they then kiboshed our Hunter Biden story and have had to reluctantly a year or two later sort of admit that it was right And so we know that the FBI was spying on Rudy Giuliani throughout 2020 Of course Rudy Giuliani at that stage was had been the personal lawyer of Donald Trump So this covert surveillance warrant began a month after he took that job And then they would have had access to the emails in August of 2020 from the computer pay shop owner John Paul Mackay Isaac who had given the FBI Hunter Biden's laptop And he was concerned that the FBI had not really treated his national security concerns

"The left wing media hacks no they've got a serious problem here And the problem for them isn't that the Twitter story was suppressed And pushed by Democrats They were pushed by Democrats to do so That's not the problem they have The problem they have here is government officials were deeply involved in this which is a direct not an indirect not a secondary or tertiary a direct violation of our constitution The government is strictly prohibited from deputizing private actors to violate the constitution and people's free speech rights when the government can't do it itself It is explicitly loudly prohibited from doing so The media knows they have a problem So the first response was predictable They came out and said well in the first tranche of information released by taibi and Elon it doesn't mention anything Specifically about a government actor pushing Twitter It's more Biden campaign folks pushing Twitter to squash the Hunter Biden story Okay Well if they just would have done a little bit of homework which the media doesn't want to do because they are activists engaging in malfeasance it's not miss visas You would have known that there are multiple reports out there including statements to the FEC about Twitter indicating that the F B I Jim last time I checked the government agency right Can you double check with Mike Waiting for their Yes it is Mike it is Mike saying standing by It definitely is If the media would have done any reporting If they would have just done some homework they would have realized that the FBI was pushing Social media outlets to squash this story The FBI is in fact a government actor

Rod Dreher's Warnings From Christians Who Fled Communist Countries
"Back in 2015, I think it was. I got a phone call from an American physician who was really frantic. He told me that his mother, who had spent four years in a Czech prison in the 1950s because she refused to stop going to church, she immigrated to America and his lived here most of her life, but she said, son, the things I see happening in America today remind me of what I escaped from. I thought that was really alarmist, but I made a point Jim every time I would travel and I would meet people who had grown up in the Soviet Union or the Soviet bloc and had come to America during the Cold War. I would just ask them are the things you're seeing today. Does it remind you of what you left behind? Every single one of them said yes. And if you talk to them long enough, they get angry that American Christians won't take them seriously. Well, and I think it's important for us to know what that looks like. What are they expressing that we should be concerned about? I mean, for some people, we're so blinded, we don't even see it right in front of us. They've had the experience of seeing a government take control of people's liberties and squash them. And I think that's the right question. What are they seeing? They're seeing cancel culture going everywhere. They're seeing people having to be afraid for their jobs for their livelihoods and for their reputation. Well, and afraid to speak their minds. Exactly. That's a good point. Yeah, exactly. They get on the wrong side of the ideology. And what's interesting about this, Jim, is it's not just coming from the government. It may not at this point even primarily be coming from the government. It's coming for the fact that the left has taken over all of the major institutions of American society, started at the universities and the media. And now let's expand it to big business to sports to law to medicine even the U.S. Military. We call it wokeness. This is a softer form of the totalitarianism they left behind, and these people, these emigres, these precious people who came to this country looking for freedom, they're warning us if you don't step out of your complacent comfortable zone and speak out now and make a preparation for what's coming, it's going to be too late.

Democrats Didn't Fear Trump's Failure, They Feared His Success
"Of the Republicans, you know what? I was thinking about this the other day. And I have been talking about this on my podcast in elsewhere. That the Democrats and the left did not fear Donald Trump's failure. You know, they used to say, always going to be a failure. He's going to get us into World War three and all this stuff. That was all nonsense. They did not fear his failure. They feared his success. Because they knew that if he succeeded, he'd expose all of their fraud and hypocrisy and the depth of corruption and rock in Washington, et cetera, which she has done and continues to do. But more so, they feared his success because they knew that that would give rise to hundreds, if not thousands of other America first candidates and leaders. And that is exactly what's happened. You'll notice that from Carrie Lake to Herschel Walker damn Baltic in New Hampshire across the board. These are for the most part, America first candidates. You know, it's much easier said for the left and the deep state and permanent bureaucracy to try to take down one man Donald Trump. They haven't succeeded, but it's much easier for them to target one guy and try to remove him as a political force. It's much more difficult for them to try to squash hundreds of them carry Lake Marjorie Taylor Greene. Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump, all of them, and all of us. It's much more difficult.
AJ Benza: Fame is a Bitch
Former Scientologist Bigwig Outs John Travolta in New Book
"A new book written by the former scientologist Mike renner, rinder. Love render. And in the book, he says he once saw John Travolta kiss a male masur and in front of him and his Scientology bigwig. So render was in the top ranks when he left the organization back in 2007, the book's called a billion years, my escape from a life in the highest ranks of Scientology, and he was assigned to help Travolta with some PR issues when he allegedly witnessed the kiss. And when they spoke, Jamal is just having a bathrobe, walked into the room, kissed the actor on the mouth, and Travolta said, I'll be in there soon. So this guy's head is the bedroom, a kiss on the mouth. That's pretty shocking, right in front of his senior Scientology official. You know, wasn't done back then. But it was indicative, I guess, of the trust that Jamal placed on render. So he says that he brought it by the church to help squash talk about Travolta's love life because since the beginning of the 90s, Travolta has been hounded by stories from all these male lovers and masseuses, even one of his former pilots, and a porn star, a male porn star. They've all come out and claimed to have had affairs with John Travolta. And after the national inquirer, contacted voltage team about this upcoming story, that's when Scientology sprung into action. Because they realized there was a big potential for PR damage, a story of a gay sex story of gay sex would have, you know, that would have been an awful for Scientology, special for the couple, John and Kelly Preston. So we actually dug up dirt on the sources and threatened the media with lawsuits. Renders the guy who does the show would lay a remedy. Scientology in the aftermath. He's got a lot of stuff to say. He says that in the book that the church claims not to be anti gay, but yet the threat of a story describing a scientologist as gay would cause panic internally because far scientologists not being cured quote of homosexuality would indicate that the technique doesn't work. Because that's what they believe they can do.

I'm Still Not Over Biden's Latest Speech
"Not over it as I said it and I'm never going to be over it and I don't think anybody should ever forget the imagery. The imagery alone that we saw there from the president of the United States just last week. The marines behind him, the red lights. I mean, it was really pretty villainous in some ways. Treacherous in that I now fear for our country. And I'm not being melodramatic there. I really do fear for our country because there is no real democracy in my view left. No real freedom of speech left. And if this is the path that we're going down, in which one side can completely suppress the other all in the name of quote unquote preserving democracy, we've lost democracy. It seemed to me to be kind of a form of fascism when you're completely shutting out any and all opinion from the other side. Conservatives have a very valid viewpoint in that they want to limit government right now. They don't want government dictating what their children are learning in school. They want more of a police presence in their communities and they want to recognize the importance of family values. These are thoughts that I don't find to be dangerous to America and yet that is what they're effectively trying to present. So that in and of itself strikes me as pretty scary stuff. And this is a slippery slope, but it's a dangerous path, call it whatever you want. I think the most important thing for conservatives to remember and frankly, I don't even see this as entirely a party issue. Anybody, anybody who wants to preserve our freedoms, including that freedom of speech, should be alarmed by the desire to squash one entire side,

"I don't have a lot of faith in what the Blue Jays are doing lately. So I could see them falling out of it a little bit. And maybe they were else taking that spot. I love that. Orioles, I think they've got ten more against the Blue Jays. All right, last one for today. David Fitzgerald at Dave fat kid writes in. I know it'll never happen, but with the playoff expansion and balance schedules wouldn't a 154 make more sense than one 62. So my question here is, I mean, what is the math? I guess the idea is just that that divides a little better for all 30 facing each other. I am not the person to address when you say, hey, let's play less baseball. I will always say more. So I will always want the one 62. I think the balance schedules going to be really fun. I'm really excited for every team to get to see or I should say every fan base to get to see Shohei Ohtani every year. And every other year for them to get to see them in person. So I think it's going to be really great. The math might make more sense to one 54, but we always want more baseball. Fewer games in the AL east. That's what I'm looking forward to, Sarah. Thanks for filling in today for pitch hitting for buster.

"Yeah, for sure. Thank you, Sarah. Bleacher tweets, already, Sarah, bleacher tweets for fine Wednesday. Debbie gammons Brown wrote in just for you. She says my favorite hit is the basis clearing double. What's your favorite hit play to see in a game, Sarah? Well, I do like the bases clearing double, but it's very fun one. I mean, I don't know if this is too easy, but I love a walk off Homer wall trailing. So kind of like the Brandon Crawford one, we're discussing earlier when we went through highlights, I love the idea of you have no idea what's going to happen and then it totally flips. But if Tim Kirk and the Hall of Famer were here, we know we'd talk about sacrifice flies and that's why he is so wonderful. Sarah, honestly, I can't wait for our spin off podcast where we discuss baseball wags, Brandon Crawford, his wife putting up a great video of her kids watching brand coffered hit that walk off Homer and yeah, so stay tuned for that. It's gonna be a lot of fun, Sarah, Abbott will be involved as well. We've got a lot to say. I'm sure Sarah and I will start kicking around ideas in the office today. Oh, for sure. For sure. What's going to Mitchell at tigers of Detroit rates in should Oakland try and cash in by trading Murphy now while his value is high rather than hoping to resign him when he becomes a free agent at 30, how quickly do you see Oakland returning to contention? I think this is a great question. You know, I thought that at the trade deadline. When we saw Wilson Contreras really being the only catcher name being bandied about. And of course, he didn't even end up being traded. I thought that maybe the a's might go out there and test the water with Murphy. He's a really great catcher and his power I believe he had a big Homer last night for 50 plus, so he can do it all. I could certainly see them getting a pretty good haul back for him. But I would say if this coming from an a's fan and someone who wants to root for the player, I wouldn't give up on having him on your team just quite yet, you know, hopefully you can stick around for a few years for the a's, but he's really good one and I do think they could get a decent amount back for him. Jerry at blue's cards Tiger writes in, I know he doesn't have a cool trumpet walk up song and doesn't pitch in New York, but Ryan helsley has been every bit as good as Diaz, if not better. How about a little love for the cards closer? I love the sass in the way this question to us and we were just going to acknowledge it. He doesn't have a cool walk up song. He doesn't play in New York. I get it. I get it. Ryan hopefully is so much fun to watch. This guy throws so hard whenever he pictures he's always at the top of the D Lee fastest pitches on baseball smart, which I always look at every morning. I'm staring at his savant page. He is 98th percentile or better. And expect the ARA expected batting average expected slug, strikeout rate with rate, fastball velocity, fastball spin. So there's our love for Ryan healthy. He is a lot of fun to watch. It's always fun at the beginning of a season when the guy sort of comes out of nowhere throwing a hundred and you're like, oh, I gotta watch out for him now too. And I think that's what happened with him early in the year. Sarah, we get a lot of questions like this with people asking, how about some love for X player? And I think when we get those questions, we need you to answer them exclusively because buster will be like, okay, there's your acknowledgment. We read the tweet, let's move on. Well, I'm always happy to give some stats to show why, guys, great. Always. I think he could fix the walkout song too. I think that would be an easy thing. Just like the Baltimore Orioles did for Felix Batista, they gave him the Omar whistle from the wire very cool walk out and that partly is nicely into Scott appleman question. He writes in Taylor. Why so quick to dismiss the O's chances of a second place finish, there are a game and a half back of the rays with a month and a half to go, I'm interested in your perspective on the Orioles Sarah. I mean, I think the starting pitching is just not gonna hold up. I mean, we saw dean Kramer, the game of his life, literally last night against the Blue Jays to win that awesome vote in Jordan lyles have been good, but they're probably back of the rotation starters on a good team, not frontline guys. And the offense can go stagnant pretty easily. You know, it's been playing well. A lot of guys overachieving, but you know if we're looking at their averages probably not great for such a tight wild card chase here. So what do you think about the O's other than I know you love to watch them? I do love to watch them. I think that your logic is pretty sound there. I mean, I think there are definitely holes, everybody wants to see this team make the playoffs. I'm really proved that they're wrong. I don't know about second place. I mean, you know, we should never be too quick to dismiss the team and you should never be too quick to dismiss your team. But I do think that everything you said is true there and with the raise, I mean, I think third place very realistic because even though, you know, the standings are as they are right now.

"I mean, I think that's something that they could have already seen. But anyway, I guess moving on from that. But that's just kind of that's kind of where they stand right now, at least for the next week. But yeah, like you said, it's a huge loss. I mean, they've done this for bottom, right? They're 80 and 35. Mostly with my walker computer. And even when they had a walker computer, he wasn't very good. He kind of struggled a lot at the beginning of the season. Which is kind of weird to see, 'cause he was the guy that was pretty built up at the beginning of spring. But in the post, he just has a different level. Even last year, he was the guy they turned to. Game four of the NLDS against the giant, they needed a win. They go, hey, walker, go out there and I'm short rest. And game 6 had to make sure they're going to get hurt. They said, hey, walker go out there and short rest again. This year I don't know who that guy would be. If they're in one of those situations, you know, when I go home, Julio Reyes is kind of stepping up as an ace, but I don't know if they would love to be like, hey, who they go out there, he's never done that before. I think that's something that was walker's kind of thing last year. He's never pitched on short res in a playoff series before. He did it obviously, did well. But that's easier said than done. It's not like anyone could just kind of go ahead and do those things. So not having him, that's definitely a big loss, but like I said, he probably would have been fully built up. But this opens kind of shaky at times, which is kind of weird to say for someone for a team that I think leads to the league in bulk in here. And there are 80 and 35, but I think when it comes down to the postseason they're trying to limit runs and he was going to be a big part of that. So speaking of shake you, of course, you know, you're alluding part two Craig kimbrel. The team lost on the walk off from against kimbrell last night in Milwaukee. What is the level of concern with the fact that kimbrell is not exactly been Craig kimbrell of old this year? Yeah, well, if you have Dave Roberts, there's no love of paternity. If you ask people on Twitter, there's a lot of concern. So yeah, it's been interesting. I mean, you also had a clean inning since July 13th. And that's not ideal for any reliever, much that someone who's kind of their job is to go out there in the 9th inning and shut things down. So in a postseason situation, they don't really have a guy right now where they can just kind of be like, give me four or 5, 6 hours. I haven't filled up just kind of become their main guy. He's been unbelievable. He had he's a lot of one run since May. So he's like one of the best relievers in baseball. But he's obviously never done that before in a postseason scenario. So they need Craig kimbrough. They've traded AJ Pollock away for him. Because he was going to be the guy that kind of piece things together, replace Kennedy Jansen in the back. But it's been shaky for him. And he was pretty honest yesterday, said, I have to figure this out. I have to figure this on. You know, he said that he will. But the time of time starting to run out a little bit, there's a month and a half left in the season. But if they want to make some noise in the postseason, he might need to be one of those guys that kind of steps up. I mean, we saw last year with a brave, they had three or four relievers kind of pitch out of their minds. And if you ask me right now, I mean, obviously this change, I don't know what the three or four guys for the Dodgers would be. And if they're going to piece that together, I think he's going to have to be one of those three four guys. It's incredible this team has, as you said, Evie wins a borderline historic run differential. And yet there are these big questions. But to bring it to a bit more of a positive side, they do have another picture who is returning. I believe this weekend in dust and my, what is the expectation for what he'll be able to do for the team? I saw he had an immaculate ending in one of his rehab starts. It sounds like he'll be the normal doesn't matter. Yeah, he said he's pretty healthy. He says the stuff feels pretty good. We got a chance to talk to him yesterday. But yeah, he's going to be, he's going to be a big piece to Dave Roberts says he's not. He's not going to be the savior. But in some ways, he's not necessarily a savior, but he's going to be someone that they're going to need big time with just might be a little bit unfair for someone coming off Tommy John. But that's just kind of where they're at. I mean, played in Kershaw's art right now. Julia is kind of like been the mainstay. Tony gas has been really good, but he's over his limit, but by a million now. His career high. Tyler Anderson, you know, he's kind of having this breakout season Andrew, he has kind of been in and out of the rotation. So they're going to need, they're going to need this to make a given four or 5, 6 innings here in the next couple of couple of weeks. And they also kind of want to know what they have, right? Can he be a guy who can take down a walker beater spun and pitch game four of a big series or whatever it may be. These next 6 weeks kind of interesting, these next 6 weeks kind of like the regular season doesn't really matter much anymore. There are 16 games over the Padres and they're going to win the division. They're going to probably get the one seed. But everything they're doing for the next 6 weeks is kind of evaluating for what they have in October. Because that's essentially what's going to define their season, right? They're probably going to break the franchise record in wins. I guess they had to go 37 and ten to beat the Mariners record. I looked at that and I was like, why does this not look impossible for this team? And I guess that speaks to how good they are. But everything's going to be defined by what they do in October. So everything's kind of leading up to what's going to happen. Who can help us who can? I think that's the main thing going to be a pretty big addition for them. Yeah, I mean, he's so much fun to watch, you know, just as a fan of the game. I'm so excited to see whether he's throwing a hundred or whether he dials back to 90 to not get hurt again, whatever it may be. Just seeing him out there with that hair and everything. It's so much fun. So be really, really cool to see him contribute for them in October. And it's interesting. I love how you said, you know, the regular season doesn't really matter for them at this point. But the reason you play so hard and get to this point is to have that luxury to figure it out over the final 6 weeks. So we'll see what all happens with them, but just for how good this team is, I hope they're able to figure it out. So we don't have to add them to that O one Mariners list. You alluded to them, but you never want to be that team that dominates in the regular tooth and they can't figure it out in October. Right. And there are definitely really good, right? It feels like this last ten minutes I've been talking about what they don't have to do, right? But that's just kind of where they're at, right? They're just trying to determine what's kind of going on. I mean, but there's going to be the favorites. Probably the best human baseball, even with all these things I'm saying. We've seen this kind of movie before with the Dodgers, where they just kind of steamrolled to the regular season. And then things get a little bit tight. I mean, in 2019, that team was really good. And they lost after 5 games. They were like, that's kind of where these fans are. It's like everything needs to be perfect. A little bit unfair, but that's just kind of what these symptoms to do. It's like ten years. That one World Series title. So if you're listening to this, there's still really good. I'm not trying to say otherwise. Now come on, man. Yes. Absolutely. It's positive. I'm positive one. Thank you so much for joining me. This was awesome.

"It's definitely longer. Locking them up with contracts as opposed to just having young talent that will then be free agents because in the white Sox case even, they're still going to arbitration with most of those guys and they will hit free agency when they're supposed to. But Atlanta Braves, they're going to bypass all of that. And be able to go into those free agent years and then have team control, which is insane. For these young talented players. For sure. And the handful of them have already won a World Series with this team. So it's almost like part of that pressure is off also that they know how to win. They know how to plan October. No one's going to say, oh, they're too young, because even though Michael Harris, the second named von Grissom and Spencer strider haven't been in the postseason contributing in that way. You know, these other guys have awesome Riley and Ozzy albies and so on and so forth. So we know what this seem can do. So it's not the pressure of okay girl together now go in a World Series right now. No, I totally agree. And I think that's that and you can also be yourself. That's an understanding that and has it these young players is that they are definitely they must be the type of player that he sees that look, you're going to go out and work hard because I think my biggest fear of my GM is I sign you this big huge contract and now you're like sweet. All right, maybe I don't show up and lift weights every day. Maybe my off season looks a lot different. You're getting young players that could go the other way. We're seeing that with the San Diego Padres and some of their young players when they signed for big deals and some of the decisions that are made now do those happen, whether you have a big deal or not, I don't know. But the point is is he sees something in these players and I'm hoping an understanding of I'm going to sign you to this big deal knowing that you're going to continue to have the work ethic continue to make good decisions and it's anything play even better because now you don't have the same pressure. You are going to be you and go out and have as you know with baseball players that insecurity can now be less and you can have the confidence to know that this organization backs you. Absolutely. Absolutely. All right, just thank you so much for joining me. Enjoy volumes for it. Enjoy the games. Thanks, Sarah. It was awesome talking to you. I'm joined now by my colleague and friend Juan trivia. Who covers the doctors for MLB dot com and Juan, I wanted to talk to you today because there's been some news around the Dodgers lately. We found out on Monday walk popular will not return this season. What updates do you have on that surgery and what his timeline might be? Yeah, it's kind of interesting so that they announced it as an elbow surgery. So naturally, we started pressing what type of surgery is it. And they just kind of wouldn't say. They said they don't really know he kind of got her playing catch, which has never good, right? Like if you can't even do that, that's not a good sign. You get an MRI, they saw some damage. I'm sure they saw something in there. They're not going to cut them up for fun. So there's definitely something in there. They just want to say after the surgery. So we're still kind of trying to figure out what's going on. We're obviously on the road. So we can talk to any front office members, walkers, obviously not here. So I guess we just got to wait and see till August 23rd when his surgery is. But yeah, it's definitely not good news for Dodgers. I mean, I think he's somebody that they probably needed in the postseason, whether it was as a starter, which I think it's a little bit more unlikely because he was still probably a month away. But if he can give you two innings, I mean the two inch walker beaters better than tuning the most people. So especially in October, which he seems to kind of enjoy. So that was definitely a big loss for them. So as far as the timeline, I guess we just have to wait and see what the elbow surgery is. It was kind of a bizarre day. We're just kind of like, but wait, why are you guys doing this? And what kind of visit? How long is it going to be out? But I would be shocked if whatever it is, whether it be minor or major or whatever, that it doesn't beat into next season. At least at the start of spring training. You know, it's interesting. Unknown elbow surgery until they get in there. I believe that happened with Ken to my last year with the twins, where they said straight up, we don't know what is going to be until we see how bad it is in there. So I think her baseball for the Dodgers for everyone have to hope that somehow this is one of those cleanup surgeries as opposed to something like Tommy Tommy John, excuse me. But you alluded to this how helpful he would have been to the team in October, even in a relief role. And I 100% agree you really made a name for himself in that 2018 postseason. So we know how nails he can be in October. How do you think this affects their chances? I mean, they're going to win this division, but at October, in the postseason and going deep because it's interesting. They're dealing with these injuries at the same time that the other, the second best team in the national league, the New York mets is dealing with pitching injuries over the last two days as well. Yeah, and just kind of really quickly about the surgery. He actually had a clean up after he got hurt. So he had a flexor strain. And then he got a clean up for, I remember exactly what it was. But he definitely had a clean up in there. He was like, I've been dealing with this for a couple of years. So it is kind of, I mean, it's interesting. I mean, they're pretty hopeful, but it's nothing crazy. I mean, he's been, I think if it was Tommy John, Ben going to the worst case scenario. I think they would have probably announced that by now.

"So, I mean, that kind of money is getting spent left and right, especially for big time organizations like the Atlanta Braves. So I love this. It's just an example of Alex on top of, I think, two things in how smart he is to be able to do this, have an understanding of what Michael Harris, the second brings to the organization for the future, we've seen briefly the talent, but also more importantly, the relationship. I mean, to be able to convince him, and of course, you're three months in. You're like, yeah, I'm signing anything to be able to make $5 million this year next year. Like, heck yeah, that's so much more than he would have made otherwise. So yeah, I think it's a huge credit to Alex, but also I think it's helpful for these players mentality to know that I'm good. I don't have to be worried about if something happens or I don't perform. Now I can go out and just be me. And I think that comfort level is really important. And the braves have really set it up such that their young players just don't have to worry about that. As you're saying, they're in such a spot where they can be them. Someone like Austin Riley. It took him a year and a half to really figure it out. At the major league level. And now look them in MVP conversations doing everything and not having to worry about how is this going to look in arbitration? What's going to happen in two or three years? So drilled credit to them Dallas and thoughtful as you said. And I will say on the other side, you know, Jeff, as he tweeted out this list of here's who is under team control through these years. He did quote tweet himself from January 2020 and said, of course, I have plans. So we have seen that. The White Sox had not going to read off the whole list again, but Louis Robert, eloy Jimenez, Tim Anderson, all of these guys under team control and yet we've seen that this team did not get far enough in the playoffs and you know they have not been able to live up to that in quite the way that our front expects when you are able to get all of those players under your control. Yeah, but most of those players were not signed to be able to continue to play. That's just team control because they're young and that's where I think the difference lies, at least for the braise right now is, I mean, we're talking three of those players for the brains are going into the 2030s.

"To be joined by Jess Mendoza who covers baseball for ESPN. She is currently in Williams for getting ready for the best baseball event on earth fully World Series, just how you doing. I'm doing great. And you nailed it. It really is, and we've added four teams this year. It's starting a day earlier. It's getting better and better. My own boys are actually going to be here too. For the first time to really experience the real Williamsport, all pack stands, all the things. And of course, we have the Red Sox and Orioles coming to town, which is amazing when they get here on Sunday because it's a 2500 person stadium that's here in Williamsport and it's so intimate and it's just basically 2500 kids that get to watch their favorite major league players. It's pretty special. Oh my gosh. I was there for the first slowly classic back in 2017 and it was just such an amazing atmosphere as you're saying that feeling that it was this big league game, but just for the kids. I mean, that is what this game is all about. And the fact that we're able to put on a game like that just for them is so, so wonderful. So you mentioned, you know, your kids will get to experience the real Williams for people who are listening who don't know what that means. What is the best part of it and what are they going to get to experience? It's like honestly Disneyland for baseball fans. Like you have just even go through there's the two stadiums, which is volunteer where you have international teams playing ten international teams ten U.S. teams. And you have this in between the two stadiums, like funnel cakes and all these blues and fun stands and I'll just like cool cool things going on. And meanwhile, you're jumping back and forth and it's like, I don't know, I'm a Disney person. That's why I'm like, it's like California adventure in Disneyland. I'm gonna go watch Japan play Chinese Taipei or I'm gonna go watch Oregon play California or whatever it might be. And it's literally like the best thing you could possibly ask for plus their love and 12 years old. So the emotion is there. They're relatability. I think it brings us all back, right? We cover baseball because we've all had this connection somewhere in our childhood. Whether that's because we played when we were 11 or 12 years old, or we have this moment where we are in the stands with our parents or grandparents and it's like, oh my gosh, I'm in love. And now you get to see it through their eyes. I mean, I could go on and on plus, by the way, we have our 21st girl that is here from Utah. Her name is Fallon, and you have to tune in. They start their first game as Friday. And not only is she here, but she's their best player. She's got four hits, which is the most for her team coming in from their regionals. She plays second base and catches. She's freaking awesome. So keep an eye out for her. I love that that is awesome. 'cause you know I didn't get a chance to watch a bunch of the regional. So I was curious who to look out for. That is absolutely perfect. And I can't wait to tune in. I mean, I love watching little league World Series excuse me. And if anyone has not tuned in, please do over the course of these next two weeks here. And watch during the day, it's so great because, you know, sometimes we don't have the MLB games during the day, and you still want that baseball fix. And the energy, again, I mean, just as mentioned, and I am going to hammer this home. The energy at these games even through the TV is so palpable. And it's so much fun. It's just, this is what the sport is all about. So I'm so jealous that you're there. I miss Williams for it. And I'm so glad that you were there to call it again. No, I pumped too. I can't wait for it to get kicked off. So I can, honestly, with 20 teams, my head is spinning. Oh my gosh, so many notes so much to keep track of. Now, I want to switch a little bit to another youngster. But not nearly as young. So last night, late last night, we got news that the brave sign Michael Harris the second to an 8 year contract. So he debuted this year at the end of May. He has been great for them. He is probably going to win for good year. I think it's between him and his teammates fence or shredder. He's at least going to finish top two at this point. A $72 million contract goes through the 2030 season. And now the braves have when we read off the list from Jeff patt's last name. This is, as he said, how to keep a core together. Awesome, Riley, through 2030, medals and through 2030, Harris now through 2030 cuny junior 2028 bong Grissom 2020, Ozzy albie's 27. Spencer strider, 27. William Contreras 27, Kyle Wright 26 and max three through 2024. So this is what the braves do. They sign these guys to these pre arbitration deals and really keep them in the for a long time. What was your reaction when you saw this? The Alex on thoughtless continues to impress me. I mean, that's really what this is about to me is his understanding relationship with these young guys and I mean, to me, right off the list, obviously of controllable guys, but I think about Ronald Acuna junior and Ozzie albies that stand up to me the most. I mean, now look at those contracts and it's a steal for what the braves were able to get for both of them. It's insane. And with team option deals, you know, like they're going to be able to do with Michael Harrison and continue to have him for two more years if they want as their choice. I mean, you understand everyone understands, especially the last 5 years in free agency exactly the power that the player has. And you see these deals that are definitely cited the other way. Or basically the player has every option to not do do whatever the heck they want. And now to have this. And my whole thing, I was just talking to someone this morning about it, how if you lose on it, if Michael Harris gets us, gosh, career ending injury, you would never hope you're taking risks, right? And if something like that were to happen, I mean, yes, it's significant money, but I mean, we're seeing players almost sign the whole entire deal for like a two year deal.

"If many other people were in this exact position, this team would not have the record that it has. It's difficult. This is a challenge that not a lot of people on the outside understand how truly difficult it is to not have really many veterans at all, be able to lead this club and you have to try to get everyone to buy into the same message buy in randomly throughout the year as they're called up because they're all infants. It seems like and so you have, you have this idea of like, okay, let's get the chemistry where I and the Clubhouse. Let's get everyone to buy into the same approach and let's try to figure out how to overcome the inexperience that we have and allow these guys to play at the best level that they can play. It's been really impressive to see how this is panned out this year just because I mean you look at the roster and it doesn't seem like they should be in first place. I mean, everyone expected that going into the year. We were all expecting it to be a rebuilding season, a lot of projections had them towards the bottom of the AL central and somehow here we are in mid August. And they're in first place. And so I think a huge enormous chunk of that goes to Tito because you look, okay, Brian Shaw can help out in the bullpen with his presence. You have José Ramírez and Ahmed Rosario, but there's still like 20 some years old. Like it doesn't really, it's not like you have the really veteran presence. So to be lacking that completely is a challenge and so he sort of has to fill in that role and it's been really impressive to see him do that. And looking around the divisions, you made reference a little bit to postseason nods. And I'm the year play villain headache, 15% chance to make playoffs. The twins were at 40% and the White Sox were at 72%. So obviously the White Sox have until recently been pretty much of a disappointment in comparison to what people expected. I think most people expected they were run away with this vision. They dealt with inordinate amount of injuries in April and that really put them kind of behind the 8 ball. And they weren't playing great. You know, it's not just an injury, excuse, or something like that. So we had the twins really jump out. There was them, there was no question, except for the fact that nobody really expected them to win that division. Now we have the guardians. So as of right now, the playoff odds of foreign fangraphs stand with the white socks that 54% guardians at 49 and the twins at 45. So the white talks have certainly played better lately. They've won two late and in games on yuan Mankato singles. In the 8th ending in the last two days, they won that big mash up with Justin Berliner. What is your view of the division? How do you see this all shaking? It's a mess. For a lack of a better word, it's been, it's been strange this year. I know there's a lot of jokes going on just because it's more like who's going to take it by default rather than taking it for earning it just because it's been it's not quite as successful or as exciting as I don't know about exciting. It's just in a different way exciting as some of these other division races have gone. And so I've had a lot of other reporters coming in from different teams. Some from the alias coming in and saying, man, this division is rough. And it's just like, it's a little different. I get that. But it's been, it's going to stay like this. I really, truly believe it's going to stay like this until the very last minute. It seems like this has just been a foot race for the last month or so. And so I don't see it changing. I think all three of these teams are very, very similar in the way that they ebb and flow throughout the year. And I think that's going to set up for a ridiculously close finish at the end of the season. And whether it's because they are all sort of playing iffy and it's just a matter of who can just get that last win or if it comes down to they all catch fire at the same time. And they're all competing for the same thing. I think it's going to be close and it should be fun. Yeah, and I mean, as of right now, none of the non first place teams would make the playoffs because we have the Blue Jays in the first wildcard spot. Mariners in the second and the rays in third and even though the Blue Jays are up there in that first spot, they have not played well lately. I know that their fans and everyone. I mean, you can see that they've been stumbling. So I wonder and we'll certainly mention Taylor's Orioles who are such a fun watch these days. They're a game and a half out of that third wildcard spot. So that's a half game ahead of where the twins and White Sox are right now. It sort of feels like those are the 16s we're looking at for these three spots with the Red Sox significantly for their back. But even still, it just, it doesn't feel like this will be two teams out of the AL central. So given that, it's going to be even more of an interesting fight. And it's fascinating because I pretty much said in my mind, okay, the White Sox are probably out of this. And then you look up and all of a sudden they really aren't. So it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out. I agree. I think in my own head, I was like, okay, the White Sox seemed to be struggling. It's probably going to come down to guardians, twins down the home stretch here, and then all of a sudden Chicago is just reviving itself. And so it's another situation where there's this three team race that maybe we weren't expecting this year, but again, I think it's going to be really fun. And it'll be a lot of fun. Now let's switch gears a little bit. We're going to talk a little bit about the NLE because you and I on Monday proclaimed, hey, the mets are really good. And then they had Carlos crossed in addition to losing two straight games to the braves. They then just lose the games. They also lost two starting pitchers, call us carasco with a scythe injury. If I'm correct there, he's going to be out for a bit low grade left oblique strand. They said a typical timeline is three to four weeks. They're already looking toward basically in the middle of September and then you're wondering about the postseason for him, then Taiwan walker left the game last night with back spasms, no talk of an aisle sent yet, but you just never know where that might be. Of course, the mets have a lot of pitching, Jacob de grandma's box. They haven't Max Scherzer. They have Chris dossier, but I'm going to speak with one trivia about walker Bueller and where the Dodgers pitching is at just feels like the mets after getting back the best pitcher on the planet are still having these pitching questions. Yeah, and it's quite the interesting time of the year to have to go through all these questions. And I'm sure that's a frustrating part for them. I mean, Carlos krasko has had a surprisingly strong season and I know

Don't Be Afraid to Be Vulnerable
"I actually think that one of the biggest problems in my generation is that people are afraid to be vulnerable. We are sort of, we sort of have this idea that we have to be experts on everything and have formed opinions on everything. I even find this in political debates. Very few people have the strength of character to say that they don't know when they're asked about a subject or that they don't have an opinion on the subject because there's this left wing view that is taken hold and I've heard many leftists espouse it, that if you don't have an opinion on an issue, then you're ill informed. You're not doing your homework or is they like to say you're not doing the work to understand systemic racism, XYZ, all of the problems that exist in the world. So I think that, again, people adopt this idea that they have to be experts on everything and when you think that you are supposed to know everything, that squash is your ability to be vulnerable, I think.

"You brought up Phil and I'm glad to get because I saw a stat today because the PGA Tour just released their 2023 season. All their events are 44 events. They've gone up to $425 million next year, the price money, okay? Yeah. That is 20 million more than the live next year. The live has 14 events, 405 million. Do you think that every single professional golfer in the entire world that's on a major tour should have their knee pads out for Phil Mickelson sending them $10,000 bottles of wine, whatever the hell he wants it. Yeah, I mean, Mickelson and, I mean, the two, two controversial. Some people would call it a controversial last year, but really Nicholson and Norman, because I mean, the tour, the tour, that tour never happens without Norman, Norman's kind of vendetta with the PGA Tour, right? He tried to hook. He tried to do a similar thing years ago in the PJ tour came up with the wgc to squash it. And then Phil kind of talking about it. And I mean, you can say TV contract, you can say whatever, but purses go up every single year, they don't go up this much though. Like not even close. So I think without a doubt, the better guys, the best guys they know, they know why the purses are going up. They're not idiots. Every single person with a brain knows why purses have gone up on the PGA Tour, but the better guys should really go knee pad nation because they're going to get all these no cut events too, that are basically live events. There are many live events built into the PGA Tour.

"Sometime with a little chef in it or something like that. So yes, I know if I see squash blossoms on a menu, I can't resist. But yeah, you can stuff them with goat cheese or with a ricotta, you know, often seasoned with herbs or maybe some lemon zest. And then batter them, you know, lightly better than you can use like a tempura batter. And then you can deep fry them or even just kind of shallow fry them in a skillet. And they are, I mean like irresistible, I think they're so delicious. But what kind of oil would you use if you were to shallow fry them or I use grape seed oil or anything? Okay. Yeah, some sort of neutral oil, but I hear from so many people that olive oil can actually you can actually use olive oil to deep fry. I mean, either they're differing opinions on that. But I think you ideally want to use something with a lower smoke point and I love grape seed oil just has a nice neutral flavor. So that's okay. Thank you. But if that feels like too much work and I totally get that, you can just so I saw on samin Nostra Instagram and it's her most recent post and we can link to it. But she made these quesadillas. And they look so delicious. I haven't tried it yet. I'm going to botch the name. But I think she uses Oaxaca, cheese, I think. And she puts that in the skillet first, then tops it with a squash blossoms. Tops it with some sauteed zucchini. And then just puts a tortilla on one side. And then once the cheese is kind of melty and crispy, kind of like that frico, like texture, she flips it, and then that's the tortilla, get a little crisp on the other side. So there's just these sort of open faced quesadillas with the squash. Yeah, they look really, really delicious. You can also just, I love them on pizza, just I'll put raw zucchino, maybe spread some, I love creme fraiche on pizza dough. Just spread that on the bottom of the pizza dough, topped with raw, shaved zucchini. And sometimes I'll salt zucchini before pizza again to draw some of the moisture so it doesn't make the pizza dough soggy. And then just top with the squash blossoms. And you put on a heap of squash buzzes, way more than you think, because they really shrink. And just drizzle with olive oil, salt.
A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach

"So you want to use those earlier in the week. Whereas the head of cabbage will, I mean, that'll last for weeks in the fridge. Right. And so use those later on in the week. So I always make just a rough meal plan. And it helps me also supplement when I am shopping at the grocery store, you know, as I said earlier, if I have just a tiny head of broccoli, and I want to make a more substantial broccoli dish, I'll go buy a couple more heads of broccoli. And just use them, use them together. We should tell people that the reason she's saying that is because she has 6 mouths to feed at home, not just herself. She does not live alone. She has four children and a husband. So that's why you might need three hands of broccoli. And they love broccoli is one vegetable that I can kind of consistently rely on. So I am often supplementing with broccoli at the store. Yeah, and then the last thing I would say is preserve what you can and give away what you can. So even today, we're on Tuesday when I picked up my farm share. I left the head of cabbage in the bin. Because I already have a head of cabbage at home and we're going away. So I'm knowing I'm not going to use it. There's a lot of times that these sites, there are bins that you can leave things that you don't think you're going to use or you just know that week is going to be busy. Yeah, or give it away to neighbors. And then in terms of preserving, it don't have to be a really experienced can or I rarely process things in water baths and storing for the winter. But I will make herb sauces and pestos and I will freeze those in little cubes. Or even just, you know, I'll make little quick pickles for the refrigerator. They're just great for snacking on. And they also will keep in the fridge for a really, really long time. I'm not sure I've ever thrown away a thing of pickles. And it hasn't and I've really never processed it properly. So there are things you can do to preserve even just for, you know, in the short term. Right. That don't require a lot of effort. So what we'll do is we'll give to some of the sort of quick pickle recipes, and some of the other ideas will give some links with the transcript. And then let's talk about the one that's coming at us before long or maybe already has started. The sort of summer squash thing, because that's one where it really is like, oh my goodness, those things. You know, you have can have so many and you have so many good ideas of what to do with them and yet a lot of us just like let them sit there and it's a shame or we leave them on the vine if we're growing them and they get to be like dirigibles. They get to be like the Goodyear blimp or something and that's no good either.
The Garden Question
"squash" Discussed on The Garden Question
"They found that when those two plants were partnered together, there was a reduction in egg laying behaviors by the imported cabbage worm. Those are some good, easy examples that people can start using today. On the pest management side, I'm interested in when you were talking about trap cropping. Could you explain what exactly that is? Sure. So this is another way of partnering plants together, but instead of repelling a pest, we are actually basically planting a sacrificial crop that they like better than the one that we're hoping to harvest and we're hoping that they go over there instead, and they feed on that trap crop instead of feeding on the plants that you are hoping to harvest later in the season. So it's a technique that farmers use all the time. There's different kinds of trap cropping systems used on a farm scale, but in a backyard home scale, there's some really effective ways that we can do it. One that I always employ in my own garden is I always interplant my young tomato seedlings with radish because radish are extremely attractive to flea beetles. They're one of their favorite things to eat. And I find that when I use them as a trap crop with my tomatoes, that they will feed on the radish, and they will leave my tomato seedlings alone. You know, mature tomato plants, they can withstand flea beetle damage without a problem, but on really young seedlings, if you have a bad infestation of flea beetles, they really can set them back quite a bit. It's a plant partnership that works really well. That's an example where trap cropping is used interplanting. So the trap crop is planted right with the harvestable crop. There's also trap cropping that's periphery planting, where you want the trap crop to be way over there, like ten, 20, 30 feet away. If you have a real big garden, away from the plant that you're trying to protect because you literally want to draw the pest way over there. An example of something like that could be blue Hubbard squash, squash vine bores, love, blue Hubbard squash. If we plant our blue Hubbard squash over in one corner of the garden, and then we plant the rest of our squash sort of elsewhere in the garden, and we have a whole bunch of blue Hubbard squash that's a big concentration of those plants. The squash find borders are going to go lay their eggs on those, and they're going to leave the rest of our squash, hopefully, alone. So we're using it as a trap crop for those squash buying boards. And then we can destroy those vines later in the growing season and dig out the Boers and kill them, so we don't have another generation next year. Those are some good ones with trap cropping. There's lots of others. I have a bunch of them in the book. And I used them in my own garden, even though my own garden isn't huge. It's only 20 by 30, so it's not a big space, but I found it to.

But most of the people I'm talking to are people that are continuing to suffer with one or more autoimmune issues or something. In that case, I think it's important to question long like these indoctrinated assumptions that we've all been forced that have been voiced upon us. Vegetables are good for you. The more the better. Those are the people that I really want to understand the message that there's more out there. There's a lot of out of the box thinking happening now in the nutrition space. So for you, specifically in this situation, my recommendation would just gently be to consider carbohydrates from things like avocado, which isn't that carbohydrate rich. I think it's like 15 grams of carbs carbohydrates per avocado. But a squash would maybe be the go to their in terms of toxicity. I think that would be the best next choice. If you didn't like fruit, do you like squash? Do you like it? Do you like squash? Yeah. Maybe that's a better fit. I don't like carbs in general, really that much, you know? I just, I mean, if what I want to eat only is animal protein and like I make my own mayonnaise. So I'll do that. And I might put it on a little bit of cabbage or something. So that's kind of my go to. I literally could eat that three times a day and then be fine. And that's what makes me feel good. What's in the mayonnaise? I do egg. You can do avocado oil and then a little bit of mustard and then that's it for interesting. Yeah. I'll just mention a few things there for people and this is just my two cents, but you didn't really ask for it, but I'll interject it. Oh, I wanna hear it. Careful with avocado oil..

"But you can also find them in your local grocery store. They probably got them showcased right now because that's the season. And this is a great weeknight dinner because you only have to use one pan and it's a super easy cleanup. And I'm gonna wager that most people don't like to cook because it's the cleanup. It's not actually the cooking part. It's the cleaning part. So but this recipe uses delicata squash. One of my favorite kinds of squash. Yes, and it's really interesting because I have said this multiple times on this radio show. I love this recipe, but I always would use butternut squash because I didn't really know what a delicate squash was. So if you don't know what it is, it's more of a well, I don't know, Marianne, how would you describe how the delicata squash looks? So it's a longer, it's smaller and longer. It's got green stripes. So it's yellow and it's got green stripes and it is a very it has a delicate skin and the skin is absolutely edible. In fact, most squash has oedipal skin, and I'm going to encourage you all to not peel your squash. Because there's so many nutrients right under that peeling. And this is something that I just learned from Marianne too. So I knew what the delicata squash that we can make use the whole thing. And I was like, okay, this is so simple. Because usually I use butternut, which is more difficult. And I was telling her, then you gotta peel it and you gotta cut it and it's so hard. And she's like, well, why are you peeling it? And I said, well, I don't know another way. You don't have to peel it, which is nice. Now, if you were gonna blend it in a soup, obviously you're gonna want to. But you can do that in a slow cooker, just throw the whole squash right in the slow cooker and then you don't even have to you don't have to do that. So you can just scoop it out and it makes a puree. But in this case, we are slicing up the delicata squash. You're taking the seeds out your adding those crisp apples, a little bit of rosemary, which smells fantastic. And then a hint of maple syrup and it's gonna fill your house full of those fabulous smells. And I typically use bone in skin on chicken. And I almost always do that with chicken. Because that skin it's got that fat right underneath it and it keeps the meat really moist and tender. And you can crisp up that skin, but keep it on if you don't want to eat it, give it to somebody else at the table. But definitely cook your chicken on this with the skin on. And you can also find this recipe on.

"Records show that cucuta fruits of all sizes maturity's were being used in italian kitchens by the mid sixteenth century in about fifty years later. Younger and rounder. Varieties perhaps aquinas. We think of it were mentioned as being their own separate ingredients early. Colonists who arrived in north america grew various types of winter squash a name. They picked up from indigenous. Peoples squash. George washington and thomas. Jefferson were big fans and growers of squash and yeah historical evidence suggests that zucchini may actually be a relatively. new cultivar. wasn't specifically documented until a horticultural book out of milan in nineteen o one Most likely bread in italy in the early eighteen hundreds that being said they probably did develop before that as mentioned earlier. The italian diminutive zucchini was first recorded. In the nineteenth century it was used to refer to these small dried up towards that served as tobacco storage vessels. However it didn't take long for the words meaning to shift gears by the eighteen forties instead referring to young and typically along squash italian art from this time often depicted various types of squash and italians were fans of using squashing. They're cooking whether boil steam stuffed baked fried. You name it the first instances of zucchini read in the us started popping up towards the end of the nineteenth century with cooks using pearl lash as the chemical leavening product. Zucchini weren't really popular in the us. Until the mid nineteen hundreds though largely thanks to arriving italian immigrants before that you'd be hard pressed to fines. Akina american homes or commercial kitchens though in the nineteen twenties publications worsening the praises of the quote italian squash and during world war two. It was a crop in many victory gardens. Which as we've discussed not always good for a crops reputation sometimes people get tired of it. Yeah yeah let's talk fried zucchini.

Small restaurant called seventh street cafe in an area that was more known for its bar. Okay yeah so. Mary got to thinking looking for a salty appetizer slash side. That would go well with beer and arrived at the thin fried strips of zucchini. At the time as you keeney still wasn't well known in this country so she had a bit of trouble selling them and even offered free samples on the streets to try to get people to give them a chance. Staff members would order order fried zucchini performance enjoy. It did which. I was kind of dubious views. Work back this with those cracking up It took time but these efforts did pay off by the time. The restaurant changed their name to f- tambellini seventh street in the nineteen sixties. The fries akini was a popular menu. Item the restaurant was going through about fifty pounds of fried zucchini a. J. in the nineteen nineties and their websites l. was eat zucchini. They ended up closing in two thousand thirteen. But they were hugely important in popularizing. This dish they were the fried zucchini restaurant right. Yes and then.

You know like when dinosaurs were walking around. Wow yeah wonder if the dinosaurs were into them you know. I bet they were but they were. And certainly it seems like some animals were because Because the family got distributed through every continent except artika researchers think that either birds carry the seeds across whole dang oceans and their digestive tracts or the gourds Were hardy enough to float. All the way across oceans and make new landfall The zucchini genus itself split off a nine. To twenty three million years ago or so In central or south america yes And it gets confusing. Because i've read in places that zucchini is pretty new and not so. So it's it's like the the the the species has been around for a very long time the the specific variety that we call as zucchini And what that looks like is much more recent. Yes so we'll we'll try to get dig through all of the zucchini or the squash that it descends from originated in central america and mexico. Going to seven thousand to five thousand five hundred bc See pepe was believed to be one of the first domesticated species. The oldest known remains were discovered in mexico and are thought to date back to eight thousand seven hundred fifty bc e This has also been discovered at other archaeological sites in missouri and mississippi from about four thousand fourteen hundred leading some experts. The suspect they were domesticated separately in different locations. They were integral to many peoples in these areas. Were part of the staple Three sister crops. Which we've discussed many times by thirteen hundred see. These crops had reached what would later become the north eastern. Us pretty much. All of the squash was used.

Can't make fun of baker mayfield anymore with all those endorsements shooter. This is this is this. Is this really what.

You wanna discuss list of the answer would be yes and appreciate you me my guy. No all this. This is what makes me so. I just felt disgusted. What the hell has any cowboy done in the modern era.

Shrapnel a criticism maybe that makes data document makes it leased -dorsements deals for prescott and i'm just sitting there going like this. I'm happy he's gotten his money. I'm happy he's got all of this stuff. But validates what jerry jones position has been in the past remember. The dallas cowboys breeds money in just being associated with us.

What quarterbacks under the most pressure now i feel like it's because they're all in his business oriented. It's not that it's not that look back. Just got all the endorsements you why he got the endorsements even though they haven't been winning dallas cowboys quarterback. He's good we already know always good. He just got paid and he's got all the endorsement deals and if they don't win you know we're going to say because he's got cevers everywhere. You look offense. Longitude at least be decent. We're going to say it was a defense his fault. It was the coaches fall. Going to write home about mike mccarthy being such great coach anymore right. it's he's not under the most pressure not even close guys under the most pressures matthew stafford matthew stafford his entire career. Oh he's so talented. If only he wasn't on detroit. Lions the reason can't win in the playoffs. He doesn't get the play. It's detroit now. The rams took the former number one overall pick who took them to a super bowl to pro bowls and a super bowl. They treated him to more. I i think it was worth to get stafford. What you're gonna do. Matthew stafford is stephen. I would say. There's an enormous amount of pressure. Not just for the rams of what it means. Now stafford's entire legacies if you can't with the ring with the rams we're going to look back and say oh. No it wasn't it was him. Let me tell you why. I think you. I think you're wrong because you're thinking about just football would dak prescott because he's a dallas cowboy. It's not just about football. It's also about the fact that it took them so long to give him his money. It's also about the fact that the fan base that he represents is also about the fact that we constantly bloviate about the dallas cowboys. And when you look at it from that perspective even though matthew stafford to football aficionados an avid football fans definitely is under some pressure. Hell the rams under more pressure to maintain a fan base chronic low because they are various distractions in los angeles could take you away from actually caring about football game but.
