It's a Monday. It's a Monday. That means that, uh, baseball happened this past weekend. Um, glorious baseball happened this past weekend. Um, I did, I did, uh, elect to show mercy on Justin Havens by not, uh, taking a jersey from him this past weekend. Um, I kind of figured, you know, this would be an easy series win for the Sox, and he wanted to do a jersey bet for the series, and I said, "You know what? Keep your pathetic fucking jersey, okay?" Like, I don't, I don't want it. I don't need it. I, I... If anything, I'm trying to get rid of clothing at this point. Like, I'm trying to, you know, get, uh, settled in my new home, and my closet's a disaster. Like, the last thing I need is, is more clothing. So, uh, I did just wanna put that out there that I, I, I did win the jersey bet with J. Hay, but, like, I don't, I don't want, I don't want whatever he was telling- You did win the jersey bet.
Justin Havens· Host1:21

Tyler Milliken· Panelist1:25

Jared Carrabis· Host1:25
