In the first hour, Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker recap everything from this weekend's Blue Jays-Twins series including the controversial call at home plate, Kevin Gausman's impressive start on Sunday, and what they saw from Mitch White, before reflecting on who the best Blue Jays position player has been this season.

TOLD YOU SO! "The Jones Phone" goes to the 1/6 Committee. Alex Jones' attorney was unable to convince the judge in the Sandy Hook trial to walk back the legal team's dramatic dunderheadedness in sending a copy of all of Jones' texts since 2019 to the opposing counsel. Thus, he said, he would turn over that copy to the House January 6th Committee "Immediately." We know there are "intimate messages" between Jones and Roger Stone, but how else will Jones incriminate himself after having taken the 5th nearly 100 times during his testimony before it? But the man who may be covering up missing texts from Secret Service and Homeland Security is being inexplicably protected by President Biden. And more inexplicable still, Dick Cheney, who once called me out by name at a Washington Correspondents' Dinner, issued a two-minute video blasting Trump - and he and I are now completely synched. Meantime my ex-date Kyrsten Sinema has finally consented to the Climate/Inflation bill, and the Cretins of CPAC have roared at the antisemitic dog whistles from their keynote speaker, the strongman of Hungary - and Tucker Carlson just echoed them. There's an extraordinary story from Washington as a city says goodbye to its "Good Morning Man," and another DC question from sports: if the Russians are going to hold Brittney Greiner hostage, why are we letting Putin's buddy and propagandist Alex Ovechkin play for hockey's Washington Capitals? The oddest of couples, Sarah Palin and I, reappear in Worst Persons. And resurrecting a Friday tradition from TV as part of the Friday/Weekend edition of the podcast, I'll read you some of the timeless works of America's greatest humorist, James Thurber. And I'll let the brilliance of musical directors Brian Ray and John Phillip Shenale shine without me talking over it, all on this edition of the Countdown podcast.

Pottymouth survived both Red Sox at Yankee Stadium and the Dead at Citifield and tells us all about it. Game day descriptions include boyfriend highlights (fun to celebrate a Jeter homer at Yankee Stadium), and a little too much information theater. Matt Carpenter has found his swing, Whit Merrifield’s consecutive game streak ends in a wimper, and rookie Adley Rutschman’s pinch hit homer is the first since Trey. Will Soto make Pottymouth regret the City Connect jersey? Is $440million really not enough? We boldly predict Home Run Derby winners. So many draft-eligible players are children of professional ball players – nature or nurture?

Eve Rosenbaum joins the Os front office, and Nelson Cruz gets the nod to manage the Dominican Republic’s  World Baseball Classic team. In the labor report, the threat of an All Star Game strike gets the parties back to the negotiating table in the fight for higher wages for Dodger Stadium concession workers. Thousands of minor leaguers will be due part of a $185million class action settlement because of minimum wage and overtime violations.

We say “Just a little seething,” “His forearms outrank your situational power,” and “I too have children.”

After recording the initial episode of the C-10 Podcast with CYITML founder Dayton Moore, he said, "Marasco is someone you need to get on this podcast." As you'll hear in this episode, Dayton was right. Marasco, the Royals' Director of Leadership Development, shares a lot of wisdom about the overall subject of leadership and the differences in leadership styles between players such as Alex Gordon and Whit Merrifield...and how that can apply to anyone in a leadership position.
