🕵️‍♂️ Transcript:

I hate how I’m dressed today um this one’s for the Nanas and the grandmas and the masas out there we’re talking about Alec bow possibly being a trade Target for the Diamondbacks and also we’re snake drafting the most annoying adult tasks because I had to go get a passport today don’t go anywhere we’re going live right now in 30 seconds [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] ski welcome in to another edition of the phnx dback podcast right here on phnx my name is Derek montia occasionally known as a guy that sometimes has to be an adult this man next to me is your thunderstick and my vice mayor the one and only Jesse fredman uh we got our guy Kyle Cooper on the ones and twos today so glad to see so many of you here uh on a wonderful wonderful Tuesday uh and Jesse I am not looking forward to having to do adult tasks and we’re going to snake draft the most annoying adult tasks later in the show I’m also not looking forward to you know waiting for these winter meetings to come because they cannot come fast enough no we’re going to send you off away but uh we really need we really need some news to happen so you’re just trying to get rid of me is what you’re saying you just you can’t wait has two benefits for three days there’s that yeah I mean that’s also I can’t I you know I can never wait to get away from you uh Nicholas asks picture day at school today mayor it’s funny you say that because yeah kind of was yeah it basically was picture day at the walgrees for me to get my passport but uh again we’re going to talk about Annoying tasks like having to meet with uh I guess your your your peers and trying to decide on what you’re going to do for your baseball team I’m sure as much as that gets things going it’s also uh just kind of a weird tradition that’s you know I I don’t know I don’t know to describe the we winter meetings at this point but it does get the trades moving and that’s the thing that we’re looking uh to happen at this point yeah I mean it’s it’s the annual baseball powwow right like like it it is the offseason baseball event and hearing that you would think that there would certainly be a lot of Trades free agent signings lots of action right n that doesn’t really happen uh generally just about nothing happens at at the actual winter meetings uh but it is sort of it does kind of set the stage for the off season maybe deals are not completed during the winter meetings but they are completed shortly thereafter we didn’t find out until after the fact but the Diamondbacks deal with Eduardo Rodriguez that they signed last year that the news broke just as the winter meetings ended and we found out after the fact that the Diamondbacks were having a lot of conversations with Eduardo Rodriguez and his agent over the course of the winter meeting so uh yeah sometimes it’s more about setting the table than than actually getting anything done but based on the reporting we’ve gotten Derek like I think there’s a decent chance that Juan SoDo signs uh during the winter meetings maybe before the winter meetings so I think there’s some momentum this year to actually get some things done uh potentially during the event that does have an impact overall on everything else that happens during free agency right I mean that’s the biggest signing and once that deal gets done it’s kind of like what we talked about with SH Otani last offseason where you it’s not necessarily just the team that gets him it’s the fact that you have a bunch of other teams that set a large amount of money aside that now have that money available for them to make other you know Acquisitions to go after other free agents right so it’s not to say they’re going to go out and spend their Wan stto money on someone else or necessarily spend all of that money but you know you do have to budget accordingly if you’re planning on going after a name like that and there’s not just one team an interested in Juan stto there are several so again once that chip kind of Falls once you know once we know where stto goes then other teams can begin you know their free agency signings and we’ll see what happens for the Arizona Diamondbacks and we do know the Diamondbacks will be active in free agency they have to be because they have positions to fill uh specifically first base however they might not fill that role necessarily through free agency they might do it via a trade and that’s what we’re talking about here uh this morning of course the first this morning it’s very I’ve had a long day I’ve already tried to express that it’s been I had pictures I’ve had stuff I had to go to post office twice it’s not been a good day but uh we do have a good trade Target I think that would be a good fit for the Arizona Diamondbacks despite the fact that he is kind of a a bitter rival kind of at this point yeah yeah um the name that we’re going to talk about today primarily is Alec B of the Philadelphia Philly someone that we know is being shopped in trades there’s been quite a bit of reporting on this front already he has two years of Team control remaining and at the beginning of the offseason I was fairly dismissive of Alec b as a potential Target for the Diamondbacks because they picked up Gino Suarez’s option at third base right they have a third baseman in place for 2025 and that is generally the position that Alec B plays however B has played quite a bit of first base in the past as well uh basically split time at first and third 5050 in 2023 and even in 2024 Alec bone played 15 games at first base as well uh the other option you could consider of course would be moving Gino Suarez to first base and having Alec bom play uh play for you at third so uh it at least makes enough sense for us to uh to bring it up on the show which granted the the bar for that this time of year is not particularly High however it’s it’s look if we can if we can figure out a way to make it work we’re going to talk about it on this show and you never know because some of the things we have talked about have come true uh and then there’s other things that we were convinced of that went the other way again I know that we’ve said it at least 27 times since we’ve entered the offseason but the best replacement for Christian Walker is Christian Walker right and I don’t I don’t I don’t have zero like it’s not zero percent chance of him coming back especially with the way that the lordis guel signing went last year and that’s something I very much didn’t think was going to go the way it did so since they were able to bring Lis back I’m fairly confident that they can you know potentially reach a deal to bring bring Christian Walker back however we do have to start looking at what the Diamondbacks are going to do without him and and it’s what the Diamondbacks have to start doing and I I don’t think that this is the worst idea especially considering you know some of Alec B’s numbers for 2024 if you look at his stats he averaged uh he averaged 280 the season with a 332 on base percentage and a 448 slug uh he had 15 home runs 97 RBI and a 3.54 he was pretty good these are these are solid numbers this was the best season that Alec B has had in the majors by a fairly wide margin not all that long ago bom looked like a highly touted Prospect who maybe just wasn’t really going to pan out it’s first couple years in in the majors um were were kind of uninspiring but as you see there that’s a that’s a really valuable player right 3.5 fan graps wins above replacement that’s a that’s a pretty big number 97 RBI as well you see the 15 homers here bom is not a Christian Walker level power hitter he’s more of a gap to Gap guy big time doubles hitter uh so it would not be a one forone match in terms of uh uh with Walker in terms of power but these numbers are are very strong he had a 115 WRC Plus in 2024 so about 15% better than the league average uh and again he could make some sense for the Diamondbacks if they can figure out some defense situation to pair him with goino Suarez well and again I mean it’s not to say that playing first base is easy but it is easier than playing Third Base theoretically so if he can play that then I think that there’s a chance that he could fill that role the things I like about B is that he has a 906 Ops last season with runners in scoring position and that’s something that at times the Diamondbacks weren’t very good at right I mean I know this offense was the number one offense in baseball but we also know how much of that was you know the long ball and what you know guys like Gino and and Corbin especially were doing in the second half I just think that you know again there’s uh a 906 Ops with runners in scoring position on a career low strikeout rate of 14.2% in 2024 again the Diamondbacks seem to strike out a lot of times so it would be great to have that kind of offensive threat in there that you know is good with runners in scoring position and is g to have those strong at bats that someone like jock Peterson had last season who the Diamondbacks could also be losing in free agency this offseason I’m kind of surprised just looking at the chat right now like people are already do not to be very anti this deal oh Jesse’s upset no well I mean it’s there’s a couple of things here right I mean it’s there there is the idea that sometimes you just hate these guys when they’re on teams that are Rivals right and you come to hate them so it’s hard to adjust to the idea of them being part of your team there’s also you know uh I guess his demeanor you know Alec B isn’t like he’s not like the kind of guy that like is a solid person that you like you’re like that’s that’s a good dude you know that’s a good dude like you see him barking a lot you see him doing a lot of things especially for being you know still somewhat of a younger player right and it’s it strikes people the wrong way um but also uh there’s the fact that he he looks like the the clown from It Pennywise and a lot of people uh don’t like that as well he’s terrifying it’s terrifying but I I I will say when it comes to trying to make this team better there’s a good you know there there could be a good trade here there could be a good fit as far as the Phillies you know finding someone like the Diamondbacks to make this deal with and and what we propose is one of the outfielders that we know the Diamondbacks have already discussed receiving calls on and that would be Jake McCarthy yeah this is uh I guess we can go ahead and throw it up there this is our mock trade which I’ve said many times on this show I’m very uncomfortable coming up with mock trades because it is really hard for us uh you know who don’t necessarily have a a great sense of what these front offices are are thinking on a day-to-day basis we have a decent sense of the Diamondbacks front office but the Phillies front office is uh that’s a harder thing for us to keep track of so uh yeah I do think this deal makes some sense on paper the Philadelphia Phillies are very clearly in the Outfield Market uh they just non-tendered Austin Hayes as we discussed on this show recently uh they do have some some room in that Outfield Johan roas has been playing center field for them quite a bit here over the last couple of seasons and while he is an outstanding Defender he leaves a lot to be desired offensively uh and I think the Phillies are also a team that wants to step away from swing and miss a little bit uh we’ve seen that at times become a flaw for them in the postseason even when the Diamondbacks beat them in 2023 that they chase out of the Zone a lot there’s a lot of swing and miss you know do they they have power can they hit the ball over the fence absolutely but when you have a lineup that’s built on Kyle schwarber and Bryce Harper um and Nick casos uh you know these guys are good hitters in general but they they’re all kind of the same type of hitter in some ways and Jake McCarthy would add a different element that they don’t really have he’s more of a contact guy right Jake is not hitting for a ton of power uh but he had a very very good season offensively in 2024 he hit 285 uh had a had an onbase percentage around 350 that’s the type of player that that I think the Phillies would really value in their Outfield if you thought the chat didn’t like it before Jesse the chat really didn’t like it since you put the trade up there for Jake McCarthy yeah no I mean there uh there’s some some good points out there in regards to you know you’d rather see the Diamondbacks go out and add to first base through free agency rather than making a trade like this and that’s very true and you don’t know especially if bom would work out at first base you have a feeling that he would though I mean again a decent Defender at at third and and moving over to first base wouldn’t you know theoretically be too difficult for him yeah that’s a point that we should probably try to try to hone in on a little bit more like what would the Diamondbacks do here my inclination knowing the Diamondbacks is that they would be hesitant to have Gino Suarez learn a new position yeah he has never played first base professionally not in the majors not in the minors either and knowing that this team and how much they value guys being comfortable at at you know at their position on defense it’s hard for me to imagine them saying all right Alec B you know uh yes he has substantially more first base experience than than Gino does but because his defensive metrics were a little bit better in 2024 which they were we want B to play Third and Gino to move over to First and learn a new position it just doesn’t feel like something the Diamondbacks would do Maybe I’m Wrong maybe they would uh but it feels to like if you make this move you’re probably having Alec bone play the majority of the time at first base you’re converting him back to a first baseman which I think is a position that he he could play pretty well he took some significant strides forward defensively this past season if you move him back over to First full-time or close to full-time I think he could be an asset there for you and then the other aspect of this is that Gino Suarez only has one more year of Club control remaining right he becomes a free agent after 2025 whereas Alec B has two years of control so bom would then become theoretically your third baseman for the 2025 season uh and that would give the Diamondbacks at least some coverage in that area until you know maybe a Jordan Lawler maybe a Gino groover some of these other guys that we’ve talked about would be ready to to take over that position wouldn’t you think that Jordan Lawler would be ready by that period of time like it almost feels like we’re going to see Lawler in 2025 so I don’t know how much they need to invest in the future but they don’t really have a future at first base do they like what is their plan as of now for the future at first B yeah that’s a fair point it’s like all right great so so bone becomes your third basan in 2026 then who’s your first baseman in 2026 havav Smith that it’s always the answer you know that they would have to they would have to figure out a solution on that front so here’s the thing Damon just walked in and AZ Devil Dog AZ said it earlier but I’m going to sweeten the pot with this trade we’re going to trade one Jake McCarthy to the Phillies for Alec but we’re also going to throw in Garrett stubs now here’s the reason why once Garrett stubs is on the team we’re going to dress him up in the Baxter mascot uniform without the head and he is gonna go out there and dance his ass off every single baseball game now what do you think about the trade did that sweeten the pot enough to maybe move the needle a little bit for you I don’t know I everyone’s on board Derek that’s there’s also the idea that Jake McCarthy might be a little redundant there for for the Phillies right uh with Brandon Marsh and I also do not want Jake McCarthy’s hair anywhere near Brandon Marsh’s hair or his beard I don’t want that amount of moisture in the vicinity of Jake McCarthy’s wonderful locks H yeah that’s that’s fair right what if he start again he started learning from Jack Peterson what if he starts picking up bad habits from Brandon Marsh right right I don’t know uh yeah as far as this mock trade that we came up with you know say what you will about whether whether you would want to make this trade if you’re a diamond back fan I do think it’s pretty fair at least on paper Alec B is a better baseball player Than Jake McCarthy right now yeah just objectively like one guy was worth 3.5 wins above replacement 2024 McCarthy if I can check his fan graps number real quick he was at he was at 3.0 there’s a much bigger disparity between them on baseball reference um but yeah I think it’s pretty clear that Diamondbacks have a lot more depth in the Outfield than they do uh in the infield not to say that losing Jake would be easy but uh this is a trade that I think makes the Diamondbacks a better team pretty clearly it solves a big need right now uh at the infield Corners however the Diamondbacks would would work that out with Gino Suarez uh but yeah the the question is you know is this something that the Diamondback would would want to do are they willing to to move on from Jake in order to in order to fill that need um and then on the Philly side I don’t know if they would necessarily say yes I think this trade is helpful for the Phillies in some ways I think it does give them what they’re looking for they have had some reported interest in in Jake in the past uh but are they willing to part with a player who was a pretty big part of their offense in 2024 and in Alec B I’m also I also don’t like that I’m I’m against this trade because you just said it would help the Phillies and I don’t want that I like I want to hurt the Phillies I want to do anything I can to bring that franchise down from from within you know maybe Jake’s the guy I don’t know maybe maybe Jake’s a good double agent we’ll figure it out but uh we have more trades like this to go over this isn’t the only one this is just the beginning if you don’t like this one surely you’ll like the one we’re about to talk about on the other side of the spring yeah

stop talking about them I just wanted to acknowledge real quick what some people were saying earlier about about Vibes about you know Alec bom’s personality um that comes I I believe from a recent statement from AJ pinski uh who’s been on the show yes I don’t believe so I’ve been on his show we yeah right right uh yeah he’ll probably be on the show at some point we love we love AJ pinski around here but AJ pinski on foul territory recently said this about Alec bone there are some people around that organization that aren’t huge fans of the way he acts sometimes and I am just going to leave it at that there are some people that have said he needs to basically grow up a little bit he got benched in the playoffs if you remember in game three he got benched it had to do with both underperformance and immaturity uh that’s what AJ pinski had to say talking with some people in the organization it’s a little bit hard to know exactly what to do with that but I do just want to acknowledge what some people were saying uh those concerns about the The Vibes maybe being off with that move Jake McCarthy of course is is very much beloved both uh in the clubhouse and and among the fan base as well so hard to know what to do with that but I I do see where people are coming from well I will tell you if you don’t like the idea of us trading Jake McCarthy how about the idea of us trading one Alec Thomas and of course it wouldn’t just be Alec Thomas you have to talk about what they’re getting this is not the way I like to R up I like I like to get them angry first and then I like to let you try to figure like calm them down uh with with the trade no I I I think of course there are some options out there and the one thing that we’ve talked about is that the Diamondbacks need a first baseman Alec B does serve that Pro solve that problem but we don’t know again based on you know what he’s been playing for the Phillies how good he would be in that role it’s hard to fill the shoes of Christian Walker because that man is an incredible first baseman Christian Dixon walker uh is is a legend here for a reason and that’s because his defense is hard to replicate and that’s you you don’t know for sure you’re G to get that out bombb one good option could be Ryan mountcastle which is a guy that has had some pretty good defense he’s also a player with some years of control underneath them had a pretty decent season in 2024 uh maybe could be that answer for the Diamondbacks Ryan Mount Castle another guy who I I think has a decent chance to be traded this offseason first baseman from the Baltimore Orioles uh the Orioles have had like way too many position players and not enough space for them for for like several years it really is an embarrassment of riches and so I think there’s a there’s a decent chance that Mount Castle could be moved this off season and a decent chance the Diamondbacks would be interested if we look at Mount Castle stats for the 2024 season these numbers aren’t going to blow you away 271 308 425 sline 13 homers 63 RBI 1.5 wins above replacement the one thing I’ll say about Mount Castle real quick is that he was very much hurt by the Orioles decision to move their left field fence back which is a decision they made prior to the 2022 season aren’t they doing it again yeah well they’re moving it forward now and making it lower uh so in some ways it’d be very sad if Mount Castle was traded now because he’s like great just as they move the fence back in now I’m headed somewhere else uh he was very much hurt by that right-handed hitters with puls side power that was about as difficult of a ballpark to to hit as any in the league so you look at his expected stats compared to his actual stats for the last three seasons since that since that adjustment was made there’s a huge difference there his expected stats are significantly better than than the numbers we just showed yeah and I mean again it’s it the the expected stats are what they are you also have the fact that he would be playing in a different ballpark here in Arizona right I think the the the thing I like about him is he’s 27 years old with two years of Club control remaining uh he was estimated to make 6.6 million arbitration in 202 so he should be a lower cost I mean option potentially yeah I I don’t think we gave that number for B bom is estimated to make 8.1 million in 2025 so bom is just a little bit more expensive but they’re pretty pretty similar both guys with two years of control well and and I mean there’s the the idea here is is that the Diamondbacks are still looking to solve their problem for first base Beyond just next year and yes B would do that as well but I I feel like Ryan Mount Castle kind of fits the the core of this team that is currently here he kind of fits the age range of the guys are here and he could be just another piece of that core for years to come if the Diamondbacks at him and can you know maybe extend him or just have him be part of this team going forward I mean right now uh you know his his Chase rate was 38% which was four in the fourth percentile in 20124 yeah which isn’t great that is really really high that is really really high and it’s it’s the reason why he really did not draw walks in 2024 in the way that we’re used to seeing 5.3% walk rate yeah 5.3% walk rate is really low that’s why his on base percentage as we said earlier was only 308 I do think this could regress back uh to to the middle a little bit he has not chased this much in years past he’s never been a guy to walk a ton uh but 5.3% was his lowest walk rate of his career by a pretty decent margin especially knowing the Diamondbacks and how much they value guys uh being patient at the plate it sort of seems to be a um a team-wide philosophy and I I wonder if he would maybe Embrace that to an extent uh or even regardless of what team he’s playing for just sort of make it a goal for himself to chase Less in 2025 I think that would be uh a big benefit to him well and that’s not something that the Diamondbacks weren’t great at either last year right so uh I mean they they on the whole are pretty decent at that you know guys like Heraldo Pomo for example who work like just ruthless at bats the Diamondbacks have I think a decent reputation in that regard uh even Christian Walker and this is one of the main uh the main distinguishing factors between Mount Castle and Walker they both have a pretty good amount of power like I said earlier those 13 homers I think that number goes up maybe significantly if he gets out of that ballpark uh the power is there for Mount Castle however he doesn’t he he doesn’t work at bats the way that Christian Walker did Walker has run an above average walk rate uh for for several years in a row now Mount Castle is is not that guy well one guy’s name is Walker and one guy’s name is mountain castle Jesse as people are pointing out mountain castle is an incredible name and it’s worth trading for him alone I think it was rickety Bridge said it first but he said Mount Castle is such a new I’m not even like I don’t feel like we should just say it like that I feel like we should like say it like I don’t know like a name on like Killer Instinct video game she like Mount cast or something crazy like that uh also 2 BMC says judging by his last name I presume he comes from a long line of badass medieval knights so what the hell let’s do it they’re on board with this one Jesse What’s it gonna cost yeah and I feel like they’re on board with it just because they like they like the name Mount Castle more than they like the name b which is fair I also like the last name Mount Castle more than I would probably like the last name all I’m saying is is that sometimes like as a GM you you go with the numbers the stats you go with fan graphs uh you go with war sometimes you just go with a feeling and you get a feeling from a name like Mount Castle right yeah absolutely like I want I want a Mount Castle Jersey I haven’t seen him play one game as a diamond back but uh it might cost quite a bit yeah yeah so we have a uh we we came up with a mock trade uh for for this once again please don’t yell at me any of you uh even though I know that you will so we have we have Ryan Mount Castle coming to the Diamond Backs again that’s two years of Club control in exchange for two players you mentioned Alec Thomas earlier he has four years of Club control remaining and the other player here someone that I think people maybe not so on board with this uh right-handed pitcher jilber Diaz I have as being the other piece in this trade on paper I think it’s it’s relatively fair I’m I’m definitely open to to to what people think uh the reality is that Alec Thomas is not you know I I think he’s probably viewed more highly than maybe what his numbers so far in the majors would suggest but the reality is Alec Thomas has not really proven that he can hit in the big leagues yet yeah um and the other reality that I would point to here jilbert Diaz like that that is a big name to part with in this trade I acknowledge that but objectively speaking I I think that jilbert Diaz has there’s a fair amount of relief pitcher risk there uh do I think it’s a it’s sure to happen not necessarily he definitely held his own in those whatever was four starts that he made in 2024 but if you’re other teams I don’t think are going to view jilber Diaz as a slam dunk starting pitcher for six seasons in the majors sure uh there there’s people are going to perceive some risk there as they are with Alec Thomas and if you’re getting two years of control of a pretty good player in Ryan Mount Castle it’s it’s gonna hurt right and I mean that that’s the other thing I would say is like if we showed a a mock trade proposal and and you as a debox fan were like oh yes I love this that probably means that we’re not doing our job as analysts and making the trade actually fair for the other team it’s going to hurt to get one of these guys um and and understandably that this one that we’ve presented does as well yeah I think so and I I mean it’s it’s got to be fair and and the one thing about guys like Alec Thomas’s is that he still hasn’t proven himself at a major league level neither has jilber Diaz besides a handful of starts right and even those started to go or you could say came back down to earth after a few start so uh again the the the benefit there is that you know that Ryan Mount Castle is a major league first baseman and that he can be that for you as a franchise whereas I I think you could still be tentative right now you could be cautiously optimistic for those other two guys but you cannot say that either one of those guys are are proven as of this point so that that could be why it works uh however uh some people are more receptive to this one there’s still some people that hate it uh Brian earlier in the chat brought up Seth beer as a person that existed at one point uh it’s funny that you bring that up because can I interest you in my stock of Seth beer merchandise that I still have in my garage those Seth cesis shirts the rickety Bridge it says what I don’t know ball there’s a dude named Seth Pier yes rickety bridge and one time on opening day on on on National Beer day on opening day uh at Chase Field he hadit a walk-off home run that caused uh a stranger on the street to give me a kiss on the cheek while I was in the middle of doing the showy wild it might be like a top 10 I’m not going to say top overall Diamondbacks moment in franchise history but if we’re if we’re narrowing in on the regular season yeah it might be in the top 10 because like National Beer day Seth beer admittedly is sort of falling off the baseball map since then I think he’s in the the Pirates minor league system right now uh but at the time Seth beer what people were excited about Seth beer uh potentially being a a member of this team for a very long time and uh for a few weeks in in 2022 he he very much it was magical it was a magical four weeks um yeah I still have those shirts and yes everybody in my family

from the Ryan Mount Castle conversation before Jesse was done because he can’t stop talking about trading away our young outfielders what do you got thanks for that D yeah no problem I’m just trying to make sure I put all the blame on you uh just a couple more things uh before we before we move on to a different topic uh you want to talk about the Oriol side of this like why would the Orioles be interested in this trade I think that’s a pretty important factor uh honestly I don’t know that they would uh Alec Thomas is uh I think a a player that fits their roster in some ways in that Cedric Mullin is getting a little bit older and and moving him to a corner Outfield spot might not be the worst thing at this stage in his career but he also still had pretty decent defensive metrics in center field in 2024 so they do have a question mark in the long term in center field but it’s not something they necessarily need to address right away I’m also not totally sure if they would want a left-handed hitting outfielder because they already have several of those in in Mullins in hon kirad and in Colon cower uh so that would be another Factor I’m not so sure about and then finally with jilber Diaz as much as I do think he could be an intriguing piece for them the Orioles are in a win now mode and while Diaz did have some success in the majors in 2024 I’m not sure how they would view him like like would they want Diaz to be their number five starter on opening day I could maybe see a path to that but I’m not sure that Diaz has proven himself enough for the Orioles to be in on him uh as of as of right now at least you know in a trade like this where you’re giving away a major league ready piece in in Ryan Mount Castle so I feel better about the Phillies being interested in the bone mcarthy deal than I do the Orioles being interested in this one again we’re kind of kind of taking a shot in the dark here I think it’s roughly fair I know ra mentioned earlier that if you run it through the machine at baseball trade values it says that that the Diamondbacks are are giving up too much um I don’t put a ton of stock in what that website says uh it’s told me some pretty bizarre things over the years how dare you but I will say again that I think Mount Castle is is kind of a different guy a difficult guy to project just because uh there’s been this disparity between his actual stats and his expected stats for for three straight years in large part because of of the fence in in Baltimore so I would wonder if maybe the baseball trade values algorithm is is undervaluing him a little bit for that reason we can move on now if you want do you deal with this every day dressing like an adult every day like with clothes I mean you don’t ever dress comfortably and I hate this that I’m dressed in and I I don’t mean to cut off comfortably I just I don’t know about that I’m just comfortable in a like a long sleeve shirt and jeans I think the wild this thing is I showed up today to work in a flannel shirt and jeans and the the response was Derek why are you dressed up so nice it was a wild take I think I said what are you wearing that it was I think people asked me if I had court today there was a lot of things that came out of people’s mouths but part part of it for me just real quick is that in my previous job I had to wear a suit every single day so for me wearing like you know a t-shirt often times and jeans to work every day is quite a luxury so I get it I get just to make that clear meanwhile I’m over here complaining about wearing a button-up shirt that is that fits uh but we have a lot of grievances we have a lot of things we hate today we decided that we are going to do a phnx diamondback snake draft on the most annoying adult tasks and this comes on the heels of you waiting forever to get your passport appointment today and me getting an oil also forever it’s not just that it’s it’s the steps it’s the steps it’s the red tape it’s the bureaucracy that I had to experience in order for me to Simply get a passport and I get it I’m a shady character I also don’t like explaining to people who I am or what my identity is and that’s apparently something that is very much a part of this process but uh I figured we’ go ahead and snake draft some of our most annoying especially this week right this is a week that could be very filled with Annoying adult tasks that you have to do during Thanksgiving week so um I’m going to kick things off because I have had a grievance with this task I think pretty much my entire adult life so this isn’t the passport you’re going in no no we’re going into pick number one uh if if you don’t mind we’re including our guy Kyle on this one he’s gonna he’s gonna tell us some wild stuff but I am going to go with my first thing which is paying bills really I am going to go with paying bills because why why do I have to pay bills that is just the most outrageous thing in the world I get it I know it’s a part of life it’s like I I could lump taxes and other things into this but just paying bills the very concept of having to pay bills is awful and the fact that you have to sit down and like do all I hate paying bills I hate paying bills more than most things in life I know there’s ways to set up automatic bill pay that’s the point that I I don’t even do that I could do that and I don’t because that seems more annoying to me than anything else the idea the idea that my money is just gonna randomly come out of my account on a day that I might or might not remember Jesse I can’t have that happening I need some control over my life and as much as I hate paying bills I need to not have it be set up on an automatic system so so just so we’re clear like for your I don’t know uh your internet bill every month are you like hand delivering exact change to the front door of the office like like how how are we paying if you’re if you’re refusing to use the online system I’m refusing to use the online system I’m refusing to set up automatic bill pay there’s a difference you go on the manually on websites and pay yes wow yeah it’s crazy I know I mean I can I guess to be fair I can understand why this would be your first overall pick if you have choosen to put if youve chosen to put yourself in this position I don’t really understand why you’re doing it that way right fair I get it I get it um and yes I do send telegram Sean what of it what I it’s I sometimes I send money uh by mail and I do it through wire transfers don’t worry about my business what do you got no you don’t get the next Kyle what you got Kyle we are Kyle’s kids forever what you got Kyle uh I’m gonna copy you Derek bills is also my number one pick um wait that that’s not that’s you have to pick something different Kyle yeah you have to go with something different this is a draft so I have taken bills and bills are my thing now you don’t get bills uh so you have to go with something different I have so much respect for Kyle for Kyle doing that though it’s like uh I don’t know like we can come with an easy Sports analogy for this right it’s like the Cardinals draft Marvin Harrison Jr and then the team I don’t know who the team came that came after them was but it’s like that team being like Marin Jun I love it he s having to make decisions yeah yeah exactly making decisions in general decisions is a good one but I’m gonna put cleaning cleaning put cleaning up at number one yeah no cleaning is a good one you know what see again there’s weird things because I have an OCD mother uh cleaning is part of my life that I think I enjoy a little bit so I I I but I understand where you’re coming from and that’s a very good one very annoying one what do you got you got two in a row here yeah I guess I guess I do two in a row so my first one uh tell me Derek if if this is like part of yours but I feel like it’s pretty fair to say doing taxes no that’s fine yeah I saiding taxes from paying bills I can’t take paying everything but doing taxes is but yeah that’s a great pick I hate doing taxes so much you only have to do it once a year so the frequency is not is not really there but man there’s a there’s quite a bit of dread uh and the amount of time I put it off until I literally wait until the 11th I couldn’t wait any longer to do my taxes than when I do it and it takes me what what does it take you Jesse maybe 30 minutes maybe 45 it takes me I feel like it usually takes me longer than that part of of that was like the year that I got this job I was transitioning from the previous one and so it was a little complicated because of that sure um I also just just bought a house which makes things much more complicated filing taxes um so yeah maybe it’s more of just like my personal situation but even only having to do it once a year doing tax is one of the worst adult tasks the other thing that I’ll put here I’m kind of on the fence maybe this makes me a bad person to say this but voting it is a necessary task everyone should vote I voted however did you see how many props there were on that thing Derek and you never know if you’re like voting like oh hey are you voting to like not tax ice cream but at the same time you’re now allowing felons to get out of prison earlier like you never know what writers are attached to these things yeah like I don’t like I definitely feel uncomfortable there’s a lot of times where I just straight up won’t vote on things because like I’ll vote but I’ll skip things that I don’t really feel knowledgeable on and I try but it’s not easy I think that’s probably the way to go right like I’d rather cast no vote at all on something than like a misinformed vote Yes uh so that would be that would be my my my second item here all right Kyle what do you got you’re gonna see a theme with mine okay um it’s going to be relate to cleaning in some way isn’t it yeah so for number two I’ve got uh laundry yo yep y yeah laundry laundry folding it putting it away there’s a lot of St there’s a lot of steps there’s the whole process is awful and again these like laundry is one of those things that really makes you appreciate like your mom your your your parents like whoever did laundry for you at one point in your life my wife refuses to do my daughter’s laundry she she makes my daughter put it in change it fold it put it away herself respect that that is like my my daughter would rather do anything that we ask her to do rather than her own laundry but we’re teaching her at a young age of how much life can suck we want her to know that my my issue with with laundry and I know I’m not the only person who does this but I’ll just leave stuff in the dryer yeah oh yeah for days weeks even do you go back and fluff it and then still don’t pull it out you’ll run it for 10 15 minutes to get the wrinkles out get at three times before I actually the F it put it away um do you ever leave things in the washer oh open make that mistake and that one that one’s a little sketchy because it gets all mil you ruined a shirt there’s one shirt you might never wear again because you might never get that smell out of it ever again Jess I don’t think you have to I don’t think the shirt is ruined I just think you have to run the cycle from the beginning all over again whereas in the dryer if some if you leave clothes in the dryer then yes they get wrinkly but you know give another five minutes in the dryer at least in my book and and and we call it good yeah you’re not wrong all right I got two here my next one probably should have been my number one overall pick because I hate it more than my number one overall pick but I was going with strategy here I thought bills might get taken so I went with driving Jesse wow driving I love driving I hate driving I hate Drive there’s there is no version of driving that I like there’s never a time where I you know the version of driving I like is when I’m sitting in the passenger seat not driving that’s what I like driving is when I’m not doing it when I’m in a car as a passenger maybe it’s because I’m the dad maybe it’s because I have to drive on every road trip we go everywhere we go maybe it’s because I hate traffic so much I hate traffic so much can we talk about what the far three lanes are for including the carpool lane those lanes are for going fast F than the speed limit you guys those lanes are going at least I mean they increase in range but it goes 68 to 75 75 to 80 and then if you’re far over especially during the non carpool hours we’re talking 82 minimum okay so you got to pick it up these people I drive home during rush hour and it’s not the traffic’s not real it’s manufactured by people that refuse to drive their goddamn cars and I hate it so much every single day and it’s not like the other things I can get away from I can avoid paying bills for an entire 30 days I can avoid cleaning for as long as my wife will allow it but these other things that driving I have to do that three times a day every single day and I hate it so much I hate it so much Jesse you could just start using your scooter that oh man I don’t even like riding my scooter to be honest because it is a form of driving and as you know as I said earlier I very much hate that um I’m going to go to task three and then I think we’ll take a quick commercial break um but I just wanted to give this and I mean this in no uh no this isn’t pointed to anybody here at the ph& xhq office but my next most annoying adult task is meetings meetings meetings of any kind which is crazy because I host a show called meetings with the mayor and maybe that’s it maybe that’s it maybe those damn teams here in the valley have finally driven me nuts but I hate meetings I hate being scheduled for a meeting I hate the impending doom that a meeting’s coming up even if there’s no bad information going to be shared I just don’t like meetings I don’t like people scheduling thing for me I want to live free and I don’t want to be scheduled by your meeting I don’t want to be tied down uh by your meeting but I’m gonna get Jesse’s feedback on this on the other side of this commercial break as well as Kyle’s next pick so uh we got a lot of things that Annoy Us and we’re going to cover all of those don’t you go anywhere we’ll be right back of course I do suggest going if you’re going anywhere at all is to chicken and pickle chicken and pickle is an amazing indoor outdoor entertainment facility call it that because yes it is pickle ball courts they

environment because I could just throw going to work in there as a terrible adult task but I love my job so I I I would be lying about that I I dropped this in the Discord before we went live that uh that we were going to be doing the snake Draft today and the first response I got was waking up oh man we got to re-evaluate things if that’s your you know what though that’s actually probably my wife’s most annoying task so I I get it you can be like totally happy with the quality of your life and still really struggle with waking up like those things are not mutually exclusive it’s hard it’s hard all right Kyle what do you got all right uh for my third pick I’m going with cooking [Applause] I enjoy cooking it just takes like a good hour hour and a half yeah uh to cook a real meal yeah sit down cook a real meal over the stove it takes like a good amount of your day when you come home from a long day it’s kind of like oh now I got to sit down and cook a meal this is going to take a while and I just want to eat some food and lay in bed I get it I get it I mean like again there’s people that enjoy cooking I do the cooking in my house but I don’t enjoy enjoy it no and like that’s the misconception that me and me and my wife can’t get on the same page as is she’s like you’re you’re a good cook and you enjoy it no I tend to do things in life like take uh you know an edible and listen to some good music while I’m doing something I dislike like cooking so I make the best of it but it still doesn’t mean I enjoy the task that that I’m doing sure you know yeah that was going to be my next pick that’s a good one Kyle uh I I did some meal prep last night which is something I really don’t enjoy doing and I think I I put it off for quite a while and then when I actually started I think it was 8:30 and by the time I was done like cleaning the kitchen I think it was 11 o’clock at night it was a two and a half hour process maybe that’s more of an indictment on my cooking abilities than anything else which is which is fair uh but yes it does it does take forever so that’s a good one um ah so I have to Pivot here I think I’m going to go with yard work is my next one um you know cleaning is cleaning is is a bit monotonous not not my favorite thing necessarily but it doesn’t take all that long I guess depending on what you’re cleaning and there’s there’s a good amount of satisfaction that comes with it yard work is one of those things that it just feels like you don’t make progress at least for me maybe that again says more about like the quality of my yard I allow it maybe if you did more maintaining instead of cleaning you might feel a little differently about I did some yard some some quality yard maintenance maybe this wouldn’t show up on there but yard work is not enjoyable I mean it is satisfying afterward but like like nine hours later you know like it there’s not a lot of immediate satisfaction with yard work I will say I will say this not to cut you off but the one thing that sometimes like television shows which I know you’re not a fan of uh can do for you is they can inspire you and watching lots and lots of King of the Hill made me like proud to be a homeowner and I think it brainwashed me into enjoying certain tasks like so you enjoy yard work I like mowing my yard okay mowing the lawn that’s that see that’s like a fairly simple task and have a small yard it’s not very big you know what I mean but yeah still like there’s Parts about it that are enjoyable I just don’t understand like like plants just grow extremely fast sometimes there there’s this tree in my backyard that did not exist probably a year ago and it just sprouted up all of a sudden and I was like oh look at this cute little tree like it’s so sweet and innocent and it’s kind of it kind of looks nice now it has taken over the whole thing to the point where it like sticks through this like trellis thing in my backyard we have like these little like this kind of overhang sort of a deal and it’s sticking up through that and like putting a bunch of pressure on some of on some of the like wooden beams and whatnot um Mother Nature is undefeated Jess and the other part of this is that our irrigation system no longer works in the backyard and so we have this theory that like this tree like choked out some of the irrigation system so it doesn’t work so again my situation may be a little bit different from like the average person uh it’s a bit of a disaster right now but anyway uh the other pick that I will make here uh I guess is uh I’ll just do it DMV nobody likes going to the DMV it takes forever no um and I guess there’s sort of a pattern developing with my choices of like not liking government institutions oh yeah I see yeah very strongly yeah after what I’ve gone through I my my pck should look like your pcks uh but yeah that one sort of goes without expl uh we we’ve probably all seen zootopia where they depict this situation very accurately anden zootopia not my not my happy place I think that’s the third or fourth time this month that you’ve quoted something from zootopia potentially I don’t know um all right Kyle what do you got for your next one uh for my next one I’m going to see how I’m going to make this fit but being on time punctuality oh there yeah that’s it’s awful it’s it really is such an unne time uh so it’s like time management sort of like that would be another way like early morning like be there at a certain time some reason I like I always wake up in time and then somehow my morning routine just takes forever like every time yeah yeah I I have weird things where I will walk around my house even though when I’m on time because I have time to kill and then somehow I will just lose that time I this also goes with my Med thing I don’t I don’t like you controlling my time I don’t I don’t want my time to be on your time so I’m with you 100% on that also once again humans created the idea of time so it’s a construct of man and it’s not a real thing um it’s not it’s not a real thing uh all right so I guess for my two picks I was going to go with picking up dog poop but I feel like that’s very much yard work I have three dogs and one cat that poops in the yard so that’s very much a problem for me but I’ll go ahead and go on to my next one which is calling tech support let’s just say tech support uh calling anybody of any kind of support I guess I could say calling support calling any kind of like I have to call to adjust my bill or there was a problem or my internet’s not working or whatever it any kind of like customer service situation yeah exactly just in general of having to speak to someone on the phone wait that time frame figure out what numbers to push in order to get to the right person being transferred all that stupid crap I hate the dance I have to go through with Direct TV once a year in order to get my bill lowered down I hate the fact that when I called Cox about my internet being atrociously slow they were like yeah we know and I was like what the hell and they were like yeah your modem sucks and I was like why didn’t you tell me and they were like because we don’t need to uh that’s on you so I didn’t like that at all but uh I’ll give you one more and then I’ll be done and I guess this one watching on the television if you’re watching on the television you’re going to have to go over phx.com to see this one we thank you guys as always for being here uh and we will see you on the other side to get our final picks so uh see you soon uh also my final pick I guess is a little timely just because I I know I’m GNA have to do this very soon and it’s taking down Christmas lights you can just put X lights up there a good but it’s not putting them up it’s taking them down there is I love putting up Christmas lights I love decorating my yard and that counts for Halloween or any holiday right I I’m I’m a I’m a holiday person but I hate uh taking them down it’s so depressing I put it off for so long until like my neighbors start looking at me weird uh and I just don’t like the idea of not only having to put stuff away but also climb back up that damn ladder and put the stuff in the Attic that is very fair yeah because there there’s like a novelty with putting the lights up there’s an excitement there’s an energy like it is a lot of work and it’s not necessarily fun work but home from a road trip yeah going you’re like yeah coming home now yeah it feels three times as long on the way back every every single time so that that’s a that’s a great pick all right Kyle what do you got for your last pick my last pick is kind of gross let’s go uh I went with showers yeah if I didn’t have to shower and still smelled great and clean it right it would be awesome right yeah it’s like I want I do want the same outcome but my god do you ever have those days where you’re in the shower and you’re just like this is so stupid like why why do I have to do this every day I find shower maybe maybe I’m in the minority on this I find showers kind of oddly relaxing yeah honestly I mean they not bad it’s kind of a nice way to start out the day in some ways and when they get when I have to cut them short because I’m in a rush or whatever I’m usually not very happy about it it just doesn’t it just doesn’t feel right so showers on vacation especially feel good I don’t know why like I feeler but usually it’s I am more active when I’m on vacation I’m usually walking more places and doing more things so uh plus the shower can be such Hit or Miss in the in the hotel room so like you could either have a miserable experience with that shower when you’re on the road or you could have a one of the best showers you’ve ever had in your whole life pressure it is all about the water pressure don’t be afraid I know it’s not your stuff but don’t be afraid to get up in there unscrew that head take that water saver right out pop that bad boy B on I’m telling you they’ll never know you just like fullon remove the shower sometimes I do whole pluming work in the hotel room just to make sure I’m getting the water pressure I deserve all right what do you got did you do that when we were uh when we were in Chicago no I didn’t need to I didn’t need to that one had great water pressure I was going to say I’d be impressed cuz like I didn’t notice that so you must have uh you must have like hooked it back on afterward no that’s a little trick my wife taught me uh okay I guess this is my last pick I’m a little bit torn between two things here um I guess I’ll this feels a little bit broad but shopping is that is that too broad am I allowed to no you can do that because I know you I know I know when you say that you hate every form of shopping you’re not you’re not you’re not singling it down to like oh I hate shopping for presents for people or I hate grocery shopping all of those things there are specific types that I hate more like clothes shopping is something I do not enjoy uh grocery shopping though also just takes forever at least for me uh I of course this will probably not come as a surprise to you I’m one of those people who’s like looking at the unit price like per ounce like trying to find the best deal on every single item but you’re not doing it in like a a way that makes that you feel satisfied it’s an agonizing process for you that you’re going through in order to make sure you’re getting the best value yeah I guess it’s satisfying in some ways but not not really I also thought about going with returns here because I might hate returning things more than I hate buying them in the first place but just the whole the whole thing with shopping not not my thing no and it’s it’s because the return thing is like shopping twice essentially for the same thing it’s like it’s like you’re paying for your mistake you know yeah yeah well don’t never you blew it never forget you walk there with your tail between your legs and admit the mistake you made and beg them for your money back oh yeah exactly uh Jacob Franklin AKA FJ is 100% right Jesse is still about a month away doing his Christmas shopping 100% I would say I would say 28 days away is where Jesse’s at we’re out November 26 right now but of course uh that was awesome and we hope you guys share with us in the comments your least of favorite adult tasks should we should we summarize real real quick yeah let’s throw it up there I got bills driving me eatings of any kind contacting tech support and taking down your Christmas lights Kyle has all forms of cleanliness at all or Tak he has cleaning laundry and showers up there he also has cooking and punctuality uh Jesse went very anti-government with no taxes no voting no DMV he also doesn’t want to shop for you on your birthday or for himself to eat and he hates yard work I truly was not trying to make a political statement of any kind with how I cast but I think we can all agree that all of those things are pretty unpleasant right you don’t have to be trying to overthrow the government so like not enjoy doing taxes there’s a middle ground there I will also say that I very much understand because of the bureaucracy and red tape I had to go through um I’m still I’m still trying to figure out when my passport is going to arve and there’s no way it’s gonna
