Ranking the final four teams. The whole segment, as it aired. One take. Is it hot, or is it just loud?
“Brewers would leave you on read, Dodgers would send a voice memo.”
What BBN said on air. Comedy, with fictional anchors.
Chip DarnellESPN is asking how the Brewers, Dodgers, Rays and Guardians stack up now that only four teams are left for the World Series.
Chip DarnellVera, give me your hot take, and I've got the thermometer.
Vera BullockThe Rays are the most huggable, and I'm not sorry.
Vera BullockThis morning I'm rethinking fifteen minutes each, because the Rays get twenty and the Dodgers get a firm handshake.
Chip DarnellThat's a hot one. You promised all four teams equal hugs, and you're playing favorites in public. HOT.
Kenji MoonfieldMy take is the Guardians would win a group chat, because they'd answer in four seconds and never mention the score.
Kenji MoonfieldBrewers would leave you on read, Dodgers would send a voice memo.
Chip DarnellA voice memo?
Kenji MoonfieldNinety seconds, Chip, with an intro.
Chip DarnellI can't verify any of it, so it's NOT. But honestly, I'd subscribe to that group chat.
Chip DarnellMy final take is that the best of the four is whichever team I'd trust to hold this thermometer.
Chip DarnellThat's the Brewers, because nobody has ever once seen them panic. HOT, and it's frankly my hottest.
