Roaming St. Louis: J Gravity's been stringing them up for decades

Join Johnny Rabbit as he takes us on a nostalgic journey through the history of telephone exchanges in St. Louis, from the 1920s to the early 1960s. Johnny discusses how phone numbers once began with area-specific prefixes or exchanges, such as LA for Laclede and PR for Prospect, allowing people to pinpoint neighborhoods or towns just by the prefix. Learn about the evolution of dialing, the introduction of Touch-Tone phones, and the colorful range of telephones from the past. Johnny also reminisces about the days of coin-operated public phones, the cost of long-distance calls, and the transition from unified phone books to the separate white and yellow pages.

Scott Jagow and Tom Ackerman dive into the St. Louis Cardinals' recent doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves. They discuss the team's pitching struggles, including Ollie Marmol's decisions to pull Kyle Gibson and trust Ryan Fernandez in high-leverage situations. Despite Sonny Gray striking out 10 but giving up five home runs, and Nolan Gorman's early lead-providing homer, the Cardinals split the doubleheader. The hosts debate the Cardinals' needs at the trade deadline, focusing on adding a starting pitcher and right-handed power bats. Ackerman emphasizes the importance of big-time players like Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt stepping up offensively.
