So, 'The Big Suey' will hereforth be called 'Hour 1,' but not the first hour of the show, which remains the 'Local Hour,' and so the second hour is 'Hour 1,' not Hour 2, and that is because 'Hour 2' is actually the third hour, and the fourth hour is now Hour 3. Got it? Also, the best baseball play ever made was supplanted by another play over the weekend, but that play wasn't the greatest play of the weekend. Got it?

Today's cast: Dan, Zaslow, Chris, Jeremy (on vocal rest), Mike, Roy, and Tony.

We finish it up with Amin ranking Tom Cruise and Will Ferrell's body of work over that of Robert De Niro. Yes, he went there. It's a wide ranging conversation with one of the top minds in sports.

Joel also reminisces about his recent marriage to his husband, the clarity and comfort it brings, and how love really can make any situation better.
