Ira, Scott, midniters.

Only figured out at the last minute that today (July 22) is Albert Brooks's birthday, so no Jacques drop-ins, I'm afraid. Please keep listening anyway.

I'm a happy listener--thanks for being on the air Ira!

I'll make the requisite "you know his real name is Albert Einstein" and "you know his brother was Super Dave" comments. Passing the savings onto you fine people.

not sure what it says about the 2018-19 seasons that the empty stadium exhibitions for my team weren't all that weird to watch today and yesterday (I'll consider Tuesday to be "today" until I go to sleep)

As a long-time Mets fan, I've seen empty stadiums before. It's a better look than the fake crowd.

  12:23am
BH:

the fake noise wasn't too obvious in the games I was watching, so maybe their TV mix was just right, or they figured they didn't need to make it too loud when they scored a run while down 15-5

Apologies in advance if I miscue a song. I've got something in my eye, and it's annoying and distracting.

A nice glass of Iriash whiskey for Albert Brooks! Hi, all!

I hear the people who are really mad about MLB players taking a knee have pledged to not attend any games this season. (I'm sure this joke was already made on Twitter)

exactly @Ira, I just find the whole thing a little hard to believe. Fans sitting attentively and quietly? I just don’t know if that’s ever been anyone’s experience.

@Joe B they have to, they got there in the 3rd inning and the parking meter on their cardboard cutout of a car is about to run out
