We roll into our third and final hour. I am Jim Rome. This show is presented by FanDuel. All right, so let me reset you very quickly. One eight hundred six three six eight six eight six.
Use the telephone. The best thing about the phone call, if I see a good phone call, you're not waiting. I will put aside what I want to talk about, and I will get you in here because I want phone calls. I think phone calls make the show better. I like the flex.
I'm not gonna lie. I like the flex. Hit me up, one eight hundred six three six eight six eight six. You've got a major bit of run on the phones. Use it.
Use X. Use email. And I know you're going to use the chat.
So here's some reaction to John Harbaugh. We know Jim Harbaugh's kooky as hell. John was never kooky like that. Never, and Jim would say things like, "John is the best coach I've ever seen," but then Jim would say things like, "Justin Herbert is the best quarterback ever," and then John would say things like, "Lamar Jackson is the best quarterback ever," and neither one of them they have a combined Super Bowl wins of none. They they say kooky things.
But John was never as kooky as Jim, and John's still not as kooky as Jim. But John's getting kookier. This guy writes: the Harbaugh brothers have lost the plot. Signed Lyle and Eric Menendez. Oh, hold up, hold up.
Even I would never say that. The Menendez brothers shot down their parents. Why I don't know. There are lots of theories as to why that happened.
However, not long after that happened, they were bragging about how they were going to get away with it, and they went on a shopping spree. And the next thing you know, they're rocking Rolexes, driving a Porsche, buying some sandwich shop on these coast. No, that's not a good comp. What about JJ?
So JJ gets a shot. JJ gets a shot against the Texans, not against Brandon Staley again, but against the Texans. And why is he getting that shot? Because he lit Staley's D on fire. But everybody does.
And you can talk about the Texans, and we certainly have. Defensively, they're not nearly what they were. They're allowing thirty a game.
However, they're still getting pressure on the quarterback. They're still third in the NFL in sacks. And if they can't run the ball, and they're going to pressure JJ, and JJ's got to start chucking it all over the yard, it's going to be ugly, ugly. Aaron in Iowa, KOC is a quarterback fraud, not a whisper. Why you all got to do that?
I'm not saying that he's a perfect whisperer, but to call the guy a fraud is just inaccurate. He's not a fraud. Kyler is already playing better. We saw what he did with Sam Darnold. He's not a quarterback fraud.
He might not be the ultimate whisperer, and they did draft JJ, but he's still a damn good quarterback coach. He's a good head coach, and a really good head coach who works with quarterbacks, but not a fraud, not a fraud. I want to go back to John Harbaugh. I don't remember weird pressers like this when he was in Baltimore. Granted, it got worse year by year after year as he wasted all these prime years of Lamar Jackson, and would tell us that Lamar Jackson will go down as the greatest quarterback in the history of the NFL.
Like John, that Lamar is great. Lamar's a two-time MVP, but that would be something akin to you saying this will go down as the greatest press conference in the history of NFL head coaches. We didn't bench Cam Scadaboo. As far as not giving him carries, no, that was that was not by design. I mean, we had all those guys were taking equal reps, you know.
In the first half, we were trying to see who could, you know, who could make something happen. You know, who could who could kind of get a hot hand and earn it. Nobody nobody's really taking the ball by the horns. One of those guys needs to step up.
Somebody needs to step up and be the back, and and none of those guys have done that yet. And when one of those guys steps up to be the back, then they'll be the back. That's your answer, and that's dishonest as I can be about it. You know they know that too, and I believe believe me, they're all hungry. They want to step up.
One of those guys wants to step up.
Somebody's going to step up and take that job. We're going to see who it is. How much of that was a byproduct of the fumbling, or are you talking about just the overall? I think it's been pretty clear the whole story. I mean, there's really no more.
I don't even know what else to say. I mean, that's like that's the best answer you could ever get on that in a thousand years. There's not a coach in the world that would give you a better answer than that. That's if you if you if you're not like thrilled with that answer, I got nothing else for you. Honestly, I I think the last part of that is true.
You have nothing for us. Did that guy really just say you could never get a better answer from a coach in one thousand years on that? I could get a better answer from every coach, not name your brother, in one minute, brother. On that, like, there's so many things wrong with that. What are you?
Why are you out there with your chest? Like, man, that's the best damn answer. I don't know how else to put it. That is the best damn answer you could have ever gotten in a thousand years on that topic. All right, couple of couple of issues with that.
You say you didn't bench Cam Scadaboo, but he got no carries.
So, what is that? If that's not benching the guy, then what is that? Oh, but that's not by design. A guy like that getting no carries is absolutely by design. One more problem with that: Cam Scadaboo gets no carries.
And you say, "Oh, we didn't bench him," except Cam Scadaboo came right out and said, "I got no carries because they benched me," and I understand. I need better ball security. Like he wasn't complaining about it, but he made it very clear. Oh, they benched me. Because of course they benched him.
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that if you don't get a single carry, you get your ass benched. And yet this guy with like all this energy and bravado and like frankly condescension—that that is the best answer you will ever get a coach in one thousand years on that topic. That's if you if you if you're not like thrilled with that answer, I got nothing else for you. No, we're not thrilled with that answer.
Now, what I am thrilled about, honestly, is that JJ somehow has worked his way from one of the biggest busts ever to the QB one of a first place team, which suggests how bad that division is.
Now, that I am thrilled with, that I am thrilled with. That was the best answer we could ever get in a thousand years. Oh, right! Just like Lamar Jackson will go down as the greatest quarterback to ever play in the National Football League. Right, John?
Honestly, whatever you say, bro. Brother, I can't wait until you try to tell us that JJ McCarthy will go down as the greatest quarterback to ever play in the National Football League too. Oh, and while you were consulting with Little Bro about whether or not to make that deal for JJ, did you also ask him how he took who he said was the greatest quarterback in NFL history and turned him into one of the worst in the league right now? Not that you Harbros weren't already the kookiest combo in the entire league, but every single time either one of you starts bumping your gums, you're just making everything so much worse, so much worse. Giants fans, Giants fans, I need to know what is your reaction to all of this craziness and kookiness that's going on.
Hey Rome, I did not bench Scadaboo, you jerk. I bench Scadaboo. I don't fish on boats, okay, Matt. Signed John in NYC. Fish on a on a boat.
John, John didn't do that. Eric and Orlando did that. We had all those guys were taking equal reps. Oh, John, the other John. See, when I think about John in New York City, I think the famous Jungle John in New York City, not John Harbaugh.
Johnny Anderson three two eight seven. Which has a better chance of happening? NFC East team winning this year's Super Bowl or Lance from La Tepica winning the next smack off? Probably Lance, man, that is something.
So JJ is just hyped, you know. JJ is his head's gonna explode, you know. That dude is so hyped out of his mind after playing the way he did against the Saints again, bro. That was against a Brandon Staley defense. That was not against Domenico Ryan's man.
They see blood in the water. They're still playing for their season. They started the year 0 and 4. They're 2 and 4. They're very much alive.
They can't wait to see you, JJ. JJ. Look, I'm not saying they're doing the wrong thing. The Giants are doing the right thing. You know what JJ is?
JJ is how do I put this? I don't want to use the word spaz. JJ is just a more way out of control Jackson Dart. Not nearly as good as Jackson Dart, but he's got a certain skill set that is somewhat similar to Jackson Dart. And the thing about JJ is this: if they can't run the ball, and they clearly can't run the ball, they like JJ's mobility because our guy Jamis is walking around in concrete cleats.
My man cannot move at all at this age. The other thing: JJ may make some terrible decisions, but he can push the ball downfield. Jamis makes terrible decisions and can no longer push the ball downfield. Jamis was there for what he was there for: play a game, play a couple of games, and you get a change of pace. I see what they're doing with JJ, but I think it's going to end really badly.
I have no reason to believe that JJ is going to thrive in this system. I don't see it. How are you going to tell me that KOC could not work with JJ, but Matt Nagy at Owl can?
So they're doing the right thing by playing this guy, but to expect anything different, I think is really naive. Twin Dad Ed, hey Jimmy. What do you mean, JJ McCarthy will struggle if he throws the ball forty plus times per game? Seems like a great idea. Signed Sam Deer in the headlights, Darnold throwing the ball fifty times per game.
What I'm saying is, if they can't run the ball, and apparently they can't run the ball because they bench Cam Scadaboo and then they cut Najee Harris because he didn't like the platoon.
So who's going to run the ball? I don't think my man Tiki Barber is walking through that door. I don't think, wait for it, Otis Anderson is walking through that door. I don't think my man Big Bad Brandon Jacobs is walking through that door. Yeah, all that said, don't think that I won't have my popcorn ready, man.
I cannot wait. I cannot wait to see what D'Amico and the fellas have for JJ. Get your popcorn ready. Shamus twenty-seven. I don't fish with a bow.
All right, Eric, I fish with a bow. I don't fish. Sign, Kevin Kiermaier. Matt. I fish on enough of Eric.
He boycotted us. I accept the boycott. We turned the page about a year ago. You know that boycott was put into effect about a year ago. A year ago, said, "Dude, why are you still coming around here, Eric?
I do not understand. You boycotted me because somehow I disrespected you one year ago. Why are you still coming around? It's like Fat. What's his face?
Still coming around? He was banned from this show three years ago, and What's his face in the 1080 is still coming around." Like I don't get it, bro. You'll be in the twenty forty and still coming around. Makes no sense. Yeah, one more as I go to break.
Jeffson underscore g i s. John Harbaugh benched Scadabo. Like you benched the chat, Romy. Yeah, except that I owned it. I owned it.
Harbaugh's not owning it. Harbaugh's like, hey, look, we're just trying to see. All these guys want it, man. They want it badly. Hey, John, one thing.
Believe me, they're all hungry. John, John, listen to me. Coming with some weird, crazy energy does not make for an explanation. Coming with some weird, crazy energy does not even make for a good take. Or transparency, or candor—it's just coming with some weird, crazy energy.
You know whose word I'm taking for it more than yours, even though you're an all-time great coach. Allegedly, Cam's Cam Scadaboo, Cam Scadaboo said they bench me, which is apparent because they got no carries. And he didn't say that with weird, crazy energy. He said that as a matter of fact, and he owned it. And he said, "I understand why." Man, the Harbos are just getting more and more bizarre every time they open up their mouth.

All right, welcome back. You know I need ATPs if you don't mind. Hit me up, ask the pros, ask any of us anything you want. Hey, you notice the one thing that I'm not hammering this morning or this afternoon? The Eagles, the Philadelphia Eagles.
I said what I had to say yesterday, and I made it very clear. I am not a doctor. And I'm not going to pretend to be a doctor. And I'm not going to come in and go in and go ham and go hard. I said there were questions, questions that need to be answered.
And I thought it was a little bit unusual that a source told the Athletic from the league office that they are satisfied with the way the Eagles handled it. I thought that was pretty quick. Like that was not a full investigation. They very quickly said, "No, we're good." We're fine, and they didn't say who they were. It was an anonymous source.
Like if there was nothing wrong, and they handled all protocols accurately and adequately and correctly, why would somebody from the league office not put a face to it and say they did everything right? It's fine. They did everything right. The doctors, the Philadelphia staff handled it properly. The doctors in London handled it properly.
We see nothing wrong with this, but that's not what they did. It was an anonymous source to the Athletic that quickly said everything is fine. We see no issue with it. The NFLPA comes back and says, "Now wait a minute." They initially said they weren't even going to investigate it. And we have questions, lots of questions, and we want to know what happened.
So the NFLPA is saying we need more information, right? I'm not rushing in like a hot take head and pointing the finger. I'm just saying I have questions. It's really convoluted. It's really confusing.
And the hell is going on here exactly? You know how how is it that we knew he had a superficial blood clot, and he was hospitalized the night before, and not allowed to sleep? And I understand mobility is important. You want mobility. If you have a superficial, and I'm not a doctor, but if you have a superficial blood clot, it would seem that mobility would be of importance.
But is there not a difference between mobility and playing in an NFL game? Mobility to me is let's go for a little walk up and down the street. Mobility to me is good. Let's go for a light jog. Mobility to me is let's go for a light fifteen-minute peloton run.
Mobility to me is not running for your life in an NFL game where they're trying to kill you. I don't know. Lots of questions.
So we go from having a superficial clot to multiple clots that are moving throughout his body into his lungs, and then he gets back, and that's what we find. And then he goes on injured reserve, and then he goes from injured reserve to not playing again for the rest of the year. And the NFL said nothing to see here. We're good. Nobody did anything wrong, and the NFLPA said, "Well, hold up, now.
What do you mean nobody did anything wrong? We have questions, and so it's convoluted. And the talking heads are pretending to be doctors, and I'm just kind of laying out like I just have questions. I'm looking for answers, and we have not gotten them yet.
So that's the latest there. I did that in part because I know chat would freak out if I went right from. Break to baseball. Hey, listen! If you want to buy yourself some more time, hit me up with an ATP or more.
Now, as far as baseball goes, this is for the Yankees. I say it all the time because it tends to be true. In fact, it's one of my favorite sayings: "If nothing changes, nothing changes." And then some people go with the definition of insanity is. But personally, I'm a big fan of "if nothing changes, nothing changes." And Yankee fan, today I'm talking about you and your club. Prepare for nothing to change, Yankee fan, because nothing is changing, Yankee fan.
At least not when it comes to your leadership. At least, when it comes to Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone, because both are coming back next season. In other words, nothing is changing. Both are back next season because, of course, both are back next season, and nobody's surprised. The only surprise is they're even letting Aaron Boone dangle and twist in the wind as a lame duck without a new contract.
Have fun with that, Aaron. Of course, Hal Steinbrenner would never ever do that to his surrogate pop, Brian Cashman, because nobody loves anything like Hal loves Cash. I'm just not really sure why. It's almost like Hal Steinbrenner loves Cashman more than he loves winning. Like Hal wants to win, sure.
But not if it means he has to part with his Cashman. It's almost like Cashman is like a Supreme Court justice at this point. It's like he's the Yankee GM for life, for life, for life, for life. Like he's a Supreme Court justice, except there's only one of them, and it's Cashman. I mean, I'm starting to think Cashman is going to die in that office.
And if you think I'm exaggerating, listen to the answer that Steinbrenner gave yesterday when asked to evaluate his beloved GM's performance this season. Look, cash is great every season. I mean, I think the the roster he put together, the team that we rolled out of spring training with, was as good as any in baseball, in my opinion. We had a lot of bumps and bruises along the way, but the team was fantastic, and it was a it was a world championship caliber team. Was it really, bro?
Your old man would have. Fired and rehired Cashman eight times by now, bro. Where do I even start with that? What you do, you do realize that they are about to play for the World Championship, aka the World Series, starting on Friday night, and it's in Milwaukee. And do you know who's playing in that World Series?
Milwaukee, of course. And Tampa, Tampa is representing the American League.
So no, Cash did not build a World Championship team this season. Because if he did, guess what? They would be playing for a World Championship right now, but they're not. World Championship caliber roster. You got owned by the clearly better team in your own division all year, including the wild card round.
So you came nowhere near being a world championship caliber team. You got abused in the wild card round. And that clearly, the better team in your division had the third lowest payroll in baseball. Better team, better organization, but sure, let's go ahead and pump up the Yankee GM with infinite resources. Who was second best all season?
What an absurd statement by Harold! Damn, Harold, the hell is your problem? Almost as absurd as saying that Cash is great every season. Oh yeah, how about this? And he said that if he's great every season, why do the Yankees have one championship in the last twenty six seasons?
What about the rest of the seasons when Cash was so great?
Well, House Steinbrenner had an answer for that too. It's not it's not Cash's fault. It's never Cash's fault. Let's see whose fault it is, according to how the players, specifically the position players, at least if we're talking about what went wrong in 2026. Check out this quote, Brian Hoke quote.
How Steinbrenner said he places the blame for the 2026 season outcome on the position players. End quote. The inability to score on a consistent basis throughout the course of the entire season, not on the shoulders of Aaron Boone. You got that? Position players, your fault, yo.
Not the manager's fault. It's the players' fault, not the manager, not the general manager. It is the players' inability to score on a consistent basis. Yeah, no kidding, dude. Everybody knows the players play and the managers manage.
Nobody is suggesting Boone should have gone up there and knocked in some runs on his own. Man, how? Damn, how? Did you not learn anything from your old man? Have you not learned anything in all your years of running that team, bro?
Did you not? Did you not grow up in this? Is not this? Is this not the only damn thing you know, Hal? Have you ever done anything other than this?
Were you ever even in the shipbuilding business, Hal? You're missing the point here. It's not about placing the blame. It's not about pointing fingers. It's not about figuring or finding a scapegoat.
It's about figuring out how to finally get a different result. Because if you just plug in all the same inputs and you never change anything, you're never going to get a different result.
Somehow everybody understands this except House Steinbrenner. I mean, if he went to Cash, and Cash were really honest, and House said, "Cash, you know, it's just not happening. It's been a quarter of a century. What do we do differently?" If Cash were really honest, you know what he would say? He'd look him in the eye and say, "You know what?
Well, one thing you could do is change out your GM. You could." Except Cash is obviously manipulating this guy. Like he's unfireable. How can you have a job for life? Especially if the guy you work for is the son of the guy who was the most impulsive guy ever, and nobody was ever safe.
Something has to change, or nothing will change.
So you can make your excuses all you want. You can proclaim your GM to be amazing every single season. You can say none of it's Aaron Boone's fault. Fine, great, but none of that will ever deliver any better results than you haven't had in a decade and a half. But sure, the manager is blameless, and the GM is amazing every single year and going nowhere.
It's just these damn annoying, crappy Yankee players that are the pinch in the poop in the Bronx ice cream, and we're getting hurt. Hey, Hal, who picked those players? You know the ones that aren't getting it done. Who picked the players? Who's running the organization?
Oh, that's right, the GM you love. Man, I bet the other owners love Hal right about now because he's making the worst argument ever for a need for a salary cap. Hey, I just spent the most money on a roster in Yankee history, and all I got was crap in return. I spent over three hundred mil, and all those overpriced position players did was ruin the amazing work of my perfect GM. And my great manager.
Meanwhile, Tampa, damn Tampa, spends nothing and they kick our ass every chance they get. It was a world championship caliber team, was it, Hal? If you were a world championship caliber team, why did you get worked in a wild card team, wild card round, by a team in your division that worked you all year round? Why? With a third of the payroll, the team was fantastic.
A third of the payroll and an organization that's probably ten times what yours is. The hell? Who do you think's going to believe that, Hal? New Yorkers? New Yorkers aren't buying your crap.
Hell, California natives aren't buying your crap, Harold. Cash is great every season. Is he? Is he? Find me one Yankee fan that thinks that Cash is great every single season.
Oh wait. Anyway, Yankee fan, have fun with that. Have fun watching the team with a thirty-year payroll in the World Series. And if the best you can do is say at least it was in the Red Sox. That's lame too.
We had a lot of bumps and bruises along the way. Oh, you had a lot of bumps and bruises along the way. Who the hell cares, man? You got three hundred million dollars to spend. Who cares?
It's like nobody gives a damn about the Dodgers. Nobody gives a damn about you. The two best teams in baseball are playing in the World Series. Arguably, the two best-run franchises, organizations in baseball. And yes, I know I am on record as saying the Dodgers are the best.
But look what the Dodgers have in the way of resources. Look at what these two franchises are accomplishing with what they have. Those are amazingly run organizations. Way better than yours, Hal. Way better.
Right when we come back, how about some ATPs? Ask the pros. Ask us, us, any of us, anything you want. Do it, and we'll do that when we come back. Don't forget also a podcast coming up, episode number four hundred and thirty-one.
Even I'm looking at that number like damn, four hundred and thirty-one podcasts. These were not five minute podcasts. I've done four hundred and thirty one podcasts over a decade's worth, still rolling on. Jim McMahon, Super Bowl hero, joins us for that podcast. That's coming up after the program.

Have been listening since the nineties. I've tried to figure out what the song is that is usually used to go to the first commercial break. It's like heavy synth sound. It was used today, October nineteenth. Today's twenty first.
Yeah, this was from a couple days ago. Just went back for it because it applies every day because it's our this. It's typically if you're listening on the stream, I know you're busy. Would really appreciate any help. But the radio listeners know exactly what this is.
Yeah, but it's actually an Alvin question of what exactly it is, since he controls the music here.
So take it away. Oh, thanks, Tom. Hey, Jim. Hey, Albie.
So this is Vendetta Valentine. I think you would do a better job explaining their affiliation with the show.
Okay, so Vendetta Valentine. When I was in that stage back in the day. Cash flush, and was throwing money at every imaginable investment, which was the worst of all time. I invested. Are you ready for this?
I invested in restaurants, racehorses, and a band. Vendetta Valentine. I wanted to be in the music business, so I found a band in Southern California. And this band had a hit on K Rock one hundred six point seven, banger, banger. And I loved the song, and it was getting a lot airplay.
And I was just looking around, and somehow I came across that they were looking for an investor. This band, and I knew one of the disc jockeys. On the radio station, and I said, "I'm thinking about investing in this band. What can you tell me about them? Because they're playing them.
It was just a local band trying to make good. And the lead singer was a little bit older, but they were kind of diverse, and they had kind of a look, and they had kind of a vibe. And the guy was hungry, and he had a real job. And the disc jockey at the time said they're really nice people, and they care, and they're good. And then they made here's another here's another riff." And they had a video, and they had a good look.
So I met with the band, and they did a really good job. They broke out, you know, they told me how much they wanted, and they said they wanted to go on tour, and that they would play a different city every night for thirty nights. And they broke out a spreadsheet, and they showed it to me, and they showed me the entire business plan. And in Hollywood, we had an attorney. In my guy's office, Candice, Candice was the music attorney, and Candice worked with the likes of Bruce Springsteen and like big time, big time's act.
And she said, and she came out with me, and we saw them in a club, and she gave me a very honest assessment. And so I chipped off a check for Vendetta Valentine, and they did it. They did thirty shows in thirty days, and they had a band, and they went across the country. And I also saw they were getting reaction from Europe at the time, and it it never went anywhere. But that's where that song is from.
That's Vendetta Valentine from back in the day, and we would play that under commercials. Ah, they've since broken up, I believe. the The lead singer, who was the mastermind of the band, approached me a couple of times after and said, "Hey, hey, do you want to do something else?" I've got some new music. I've got a new approach, and I'd kind of learn my lesson. I burned through that money quickly.
It was not small sum money. I felt good. I felt really good about trying to help out some starving artists, and they tried and they were diligent and they had a good look. Had this female on keyboards, thought she was cool, and then they kind of went the separate ways. I don't know where they are right now.
Good question, though. Romy, what is your go-to spot in Punta Mita? Four Seasons, St Regis, Sean and Prescott. He knows the area. You know, we usually go condominium.
I'll go to dinner at those restaurants, but if you go to these condominiums and you hit it right, they come with the beach club. One of them I know has a gym right by. Generally, we hit one of the condos. And they're they're well proportioned.
Some have pools. It's kind of cool. Usually not one of the hotels, but we'll go to the hotel for a drink. We'll go to the hotel for dinner. I've got some friends there who have homes.
So different ways. Rome, just listen to your interview with Lars Anderson on your podcast. What incredible and insightful interview! Really enjoyed it.
So, have you ever been asked by somebody to do an autobiography? I would add that I think you have a few years before you would do something like that. But I was just curious, given some of the things that you have revealed to the clones over the years about your upbringing and other stuff. I think it would be an awesome read. Scott and Sebus.
I would like to warn my wife, being exposed to this show enough that she goes fat, fat, like the infamous jungle soundbite. My brother, I'm going to be very honest about the book, brother. I'm working on the book right now. It is more challenging than I thought. I thought that I would just sit down, knock it out.
It's more challenging than I thought, given the workload that I have. But I'm into the book already. And there is a whole other aspect of the book that I can't get into right now that gives me even more motivation to write this book and release this book.
So I am writing the book. I will tell you this: I am going to give you a spoiler alert. It's not a straight memoir; it's mostly memoir, but there are other things in the book related to the reinvention project. That I have, so kind of a different book, but I am I am in the process of writing the book right now. Do it, do it, Van Podcast.
Who do you plan on having on the Big Five Hundo Podcast? If I could submit a request, please, Elk. We see cat. War Rome back in chat black. Jason in Texas, bro.
I I have not gotten that far. What episode are we on? Run four thirty one, dude. We're that episode five hundred. It's probably not till twenty twenty eight.
Dude, I don't know that I'm gonna get to episode 500. I'm gonna be honest, but but thanks for putting it in my head. I'll spend the next 20 months thinking about it. Romy, do you know your neighbors? I've been living in the same house for six and a half years, and I only know the name of one of my neighbors.
Kind of lame, I admit. Rake, Rick, and Chico, bro. Not that weird, not that weird. In the big house on the hill, I knew each neighbor on each side. I did by name.
In the neighborhood that we're in right now, I don't know the neighbors on one side, and the neighbors on the other side bought the house, had a baby. I shouldn't say this, but they bounced, and I haven't seen them in months. I know more neighbors in Eagle River, where I spend two weeks a year, than I do in Cali. They're much nicer in the Midwest than they are in Cali. It's odd.
So, Rick, no, you're that's not so weird. I don't think. Replace your worn out wiper blades right now at O'Reilly Auto Parts. Replace two times O Rewards points. Save ten dollars when you purchase a pair of Rain X Latitude wiper blades.

The Dan Balgino Show. I think a lot of people are underestimating the Trump effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that?
You think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the X factor, folks. Elections are a math issue. That is it. This is not a football game.
