Food Crawl (Full Show) Jul 30, 2026

Show notes

Everybody just take a deep breath. Folksy Doug listening to traffic updates. Weather vanes. Big win for the Redbirds. Maybe Dustin May will wanna stay now. Audio of Ivan Herrera's game winning hit in the 10th. PCA's HR in the 10th was a gut punch. Papers left the game in the 8th. Very Strodesy. Audio of a rabid Cubs fan live streaming the game last night. Hologram Guy. Welcome back to Middle School Boys. Rank the Baldwins. I like Scott and Art. Jock straps are folksy. Would you rather have three nipple or one? Eric in the CWE checking in on the phone lines. Eric is pro pedicure. Pressure and gunk. Chaser forced Martin to get a pedicure. Is TMAU an ACT or SAT school? Still want the Blazers to come home.
The article in The Athletic this morning does mention St. Louis & The Trail Blazers. Lots of Trail Blazers, NBA, and STL talk.
Playing tunes, dude. Trevor Rosenthal will be in-studio around 9:30. Ray King on the phone lines and just like that he's gone and has been suspended. More Blazers to STL discussion. Doug's skeptical. Chuck & Girl are on the phone lines. On the way to the Smokey Mountains. Chuck's fiancee isn't necessarily a fan of the show. Chuck wants to kick her out of the car. Never enough dudes. Mr. Lix is up next. The Chuck & Girl called frightened him. Lix still hasn't made any comments on LIV yet. Ham salad. Not happy with Doug's stance on the NBA to STL.

Joined by Cardinal broadcaster Brad Thompson getting his take on ham salad. Getting Brad's take on the Cardinals' skid as of late. Pulling out a win late last night. Seems like maybe Dustin May will be getting traded after getting pulled last night. What kind of return could May bring? PCA's pimp job. Does it bother opposing players? Trade deadline looming.
Was Iggy offered job at The Fan in Toronto? Article in The Oregonian makes it sound like Portland fans are getting a little worried. The scene at Pietro's gives Papers the willies. Wake up and explode. TMA Food Crawl. Whales On Parade. North side or south side food? The scene at the Wendy's by 44. An offer to golf with Robert Thomas.
We're behind so we're gonna do a quick one before Trevor Rosenthal.

Joined by former Cardinal pitcher, Trevor Rosenthal in-studio. Coaching the St. Louis Gateway Gold softball team with former Cardinal Kyle McLellan. Hoping to get St. Louis a team in this professional league. Reminiscing on the highlights of his career. Closing out the 2013 NLCS. Playing the Matt Holliday drop impersonating Rosenthal. Did he really want to be a starter? Who does he keep up with from his time with the Cardinals? Could he get thru an inning right now?
Martin's a gentleman and walks the guests out. Rosenthal was alarmed at how nice this place was. Hard to believe he's 36 years young. Going thru former Cardinal closers. Ryan Franklin, Fernando Salas, Jason Motte, Pat Neshek. Eric Gagne.
E-Mail of the Day

Doug's Closet Hanger has declared that the Cardinals WILL win today. Chairman Steve calls in to let us know he had a ham salad sandwich yesterday. Sounds like Papers isn't going to be able to make it out to golf with Robert Thomas today. A quick PSA from Steve about driving in Demun. Mt. Rushmore of restaurants in Demun. Steve just ramblin'.
Steve's call didn't really go over well in the text inbox. Cardinal lineup is out for the Busman's Special. Tim needs 15 wins for the over bet to cover.
And the winner of the EMOTD is...
