Hour 1 - In the first hour of the KJ Carson Show: KJ looks at the Red Sox roster and explains why he understands Red Sox ownership's unwillingness to invest in this team just yet. KJ also gives his take on the Patriots draft in Would You Rather, More Likely, Either/or" 

Hour 1

Jerry is in for Boomer so it’s Gio & Jerry today. We start with the fact that we are never going to get the audio from the Andy Reid/Travis Kelce sideline argument. Inside The NFL did not show it, they just glossed right over it. Gio said if it was George Kittle and Kyle Shanahan, we would have seen and heard the audio. The NY Post hired a lip reader who claimed Kelce said, ‘hey c’mon you F’er, put me on’. Why is the NFL keeping the audio from their audience? The NFL seems to be protecting Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.  C-Lo is here for his first update and starts with Aaron Judge meeting the media and talking about his toe. Judge also thinks the Yankees could make another move in getting another player. In the final segment of the hour, Jaromir Jagr was honored in Pittsburgh and he talked about his girlfriend being too young to remember he played there. She is 29, he is 52. 

Hour 2

We continued talking about Jaromir Jagr and the time a woman tried to extort him by taking a pic of herself in bed with him, and he was like, just post the pic. Gio also wondered why, when celebrity penis pics emerge, they are always large. And yet, we know what the average size really is. Also, does penis size make you more or less confident? Gio said when he was younger he and his friends would talk about donating sperm for cash. Gio said he would have regretted doing that since you would have kids running around. Eddie said that would not bother him at all since they are not ‘his kids’. C-Lo returns for an update but first we took a call from a guy whose life is spiraling right now. I mean, you wouldn't believe it. C-Lo has audio from the Yankees at spring training. Sean Marks also talked about Kevin Ollie and firing Jacque Vaughn. Gio thinks Marks is gone at the end of this season. In the final segment of the hour, a family tried to go to the Islanders/Rangers game at MetLife, but his tickets were already scanned. Gio bought a fake ticket to the Aaron Boone Game. 

Hour 3

The ratings for the NBA All Star Game were actually up this year. Gio thinks the all star games get talked about because nothing else is going on in sports at the time, so talk show hosts talk about how bad the games are. But the reality is, if you like it, you watch it. If you don’t, you don’t. Gio thinks it’s just because there’s nothing else going on that it seems like it’s a big deal. Gio said kids love watching the all star game festivities. It’s the older generation that hates it and complains about it because it isn’t like it was when they were kids. A caller has a great Billy Joel ticket scalping story. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with Rafael Devers of the Red Sox calling out the front office for not getting enough players. We got an update on Lenny Dykstra’s health after the stroke: he’s surrounded by ‘hot nurses’. Jameis Winston was on Pardon My Take to talk about Mike Evans and people who grow up around water. In the final segment of the hour, Chris McMonigle is co-hosting with BT today. A 41-year old man calls in who just found out from 23 And Me that his dad is not his dad. 

Hour 4

Neuralink has been implanted into the first person. Gio wonders what they had to pay that person to be first. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day and he plays audio of an update guy making his first appearance with Mike Francesa back in the day. Charles Barkley talked about hating Skip Bayless so much. He also hates San Francisco. The Moment of The Day involves sperm donation and what if Eddie fathered kids. In the final segment of the hour, we play audio from a 25 year old Gio, while working with Steve Somers, messing with Bill the baker.

We’ve got a supersized Police Blotter this week, what with the Dodgers doing the right thing at the very last minute. We ponder why it took so long to DFA Trevor Bauer, and what may happen if another MLB team has the poor judgment to pick him up, ranging from T shirt purges to vandalism. We explore the relationship of adult beverages to crime as 1) the man who whipped two cans of White Claw at Ted Cruz during the Astros parade gets a pass, and 2) the man charged with a September break-in of the Brewer’s clubhouse blames it on consuming 10 beers at the ballgame which clearly means he is independently wealthy and does not need to break in to anything. Pottymouth selects one of the newest Angels, Brandon Drury, as her boyfriend this year, and Patti  goes for recent Philly Mickey Moniak because she is so fond of that crew. For the Marlins, Pottymouth selects “family over everything” Nick Fortes and Patti selects secret concert pianist and Van Halen fan JJ Bleday. Pottymouth’s dad is happy about Devers but really wants more arms. Look for this week’s winter ball report on Patreon.

We say, “Trevor Bauer is not ready for Oprah, “flammable Fenway,” and “I only have one more line and I know it.” Get boosted, fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith,  and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

EPISODE 106: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44) SPECAL COMMENT: OK, you guys. I got it. I got the solution to the Republican debacle over the endless Sisyphean votes for Speaker of the House. BEFORE Congress convenes at Noon, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries walks into Kevin McCarthy's office and says "Kevin! Do you WANT to be Speaker? Do you REALLY want to Speaker? I can MAKE you Speaker. Right now." And he hands him a small index card which reads "212 DEMOCRATIC VOTES" and then he says...

B-Block (15:23) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: The Mt. Vernon, New York, shelter is closing. We need to save its dogs and cats by the end of the month. (16:22) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: FBI tries to goose the 1/5-1/6 Pipe Bomber investigation and hey, Trump, guess who's back in town? (18:11) IN SPORTS: The Red Sox do SOMETHING, will anybody get in the Hall of Fame, and meet Marcel Marcel (21:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Roll Call introduces the political equivalent of baseball metrics (and will regret it for the rest of time), Kari Lake goes nuttier, and MSNBC whores itself out - again.

C-Block (27:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: He was the most famous newscaster in Los Angeles from 1960 through 2002 and he had the most famous sign-on catchphrase and everybody in Southern California knew it by heart - except for the night HE FORGOT IT.
