You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Dunluba Tarshou with his two-gats podcast. I have a problem on my hands. I don't know if his feelings are hurt. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether he's Super sensitive or he doesn't have feelings at all because he's a mask wearing Corporate soldier and you can hear him every day on nothing personal. I think that he is here. I'm not sure I think he's here early because he's about to do a segment with Adnan

think he's here early because he's about to do a segment with Adnan, a movie segment, but I think he's hurt by us doing a Marlins watch party. It was a lot of fun. It seems like Tony. It was produced by the crew and it felt like a party at a game. A lot of people who were watching probably weren't interested in Marlon's Phillies, but they felt like a little bit of the show was doing show in the sky. It was all of us kind of watching the game,

like if we were at the house with each other, just poking fun, making jokes, reading the chat, doing stuff like that, and yeah, it was a cool hangout. That's what people do when they hang out at the house. They check the chat. Who produced it? Who was it produced by? Our boy TD, Thomas Darrow.

Okay, but okay, so who got guests though? Who was it produced? Our boy TD Thomas Darrow. Okay, but okay. So who got guests though? Like who was invited? Because evidently you guys had a cool party that David Samson was not invited to. That's what happened last night on at Metal Arc Media, correct? I think this is us thinking that he would have, this was too small for David Samson. We would think David Samson, we would, it would need to be a better event for us to think that he would want to be invited. If I may, why would you force David Samson. We would think David Samson, we would need to be a better event for us to think that he would want to be invited. If I may, why would you force David Samson onto a pro Marlon's billy-led Marlon's watch party? Who's forcing? I didn't force anybody. I asked Bill Aaron. No, I'm just posing the question out there. It's not, it just doesn't mesh. I mean, he is a baseball expert.

Yeah, but that's a, that's a Marlins fan watch party and just to inject David Samson into it because he's associated with our show kind of runs contrast to the general vibe of fans. Like we wouldn't invite fans. We wouldn't invite Cam Cameron to a dolphin's watch party. Yeah, what you're doing right now is like, when my dad finds out that I go out one night

and have fun with my friends and he's like, well, what did I get invited? And I just have to tell him, because I didn't want you there. Well, nobody said that. Why would I invite you? It was just like, you know, it was just me and my friends.

I think he was just like, I don't want my dad there. But also if your dad like, swindled them out of money in some way too. Yeah. that aspect So where are you with this Samson hold on because Tony was a part of the proceedings Please look Tony. I'm gonna need your help. Okay, you know that Chris Cody's a glue guy He's a part of metal arc media now and it is an awkward fit for a lot of different reasons

But there was a bit of a company party last night and David Samson was not invited. I didn't tell anybody. You were tempted to put a guilt trip on the people and we're not gonna take it. I'm not guilt tripping you. I think that one. This entire segment has been one big guilt trip. Samson, is this why you're here early?

I'm putting that all this context for you guys on why. I don't know why Samson appeared early, but it seems to me like he's hurt by that. An employee of Metal Arc, somebody who works within the lab. You're describing a guilt trip. What do you want me to tell you? I just don't understand why you would not take advantage

of having someone at the party. I actually watched it, and it was great fun, and I felt like a total outsider, but I tried to inject myself in the chat, and you guys would recognize all these people in the chat, and all these people giving donations. And I wanted you to see that I was there to say, hey, knock, knock, if you want me to join

or want to engage, I'm happy to do it because I love engaging with stuff that Metal Art does, the stuff that you do because it's good for the company. And what you guys don't get is that the Marlon stuff is ancient history, and if we're trying to build our audience and grow this business, there's a whole lot of people out there who don't give a shit what I did as President of the Marlins, they know me as part of Metal Arc now. But you refuse to acknowledge that, and someone reached out to me, and I took the number one 10 DM of the scores that I got

wondering why I was not a part of it. And it's pretty clear that you guys missed this time. We have one person to blame back here. We've been doing a little pow of the people that were there and we've figured out who it was. It's Billy. It's always a weird look when someone's like that party you guys had last night

would have been so much better if I was there. And I was watching from behind a curtain. I'm happy to admit it. You guys can make fun of it all you want. I'm totally fine with that, actually, but you don't understand. My interest is in growing the company and growing the audience. And if there's a way that you can get value at it,

just because I've been there, I've been a part of that franchise. We could talk about things, and there are people who hang out with me who actually have fun. But this was a pretty personal, look at how long that DM is. Well, no wait, let's read it.

Let's read it. Speak on behalf of this. You're saying the party would have been better, like he look, he's claiming. He's claiming. Chris, Jessica, do you feel awkwardly now? Very uncomfortable right now. Okay good good.

I feel bad about Dan. If I didn't see David in the chat, if I would have seen David in the chat, I would have invited him again. Not my party. So let me. I did it multiple times because on the thought that maybe you didn't see it the first time.

I said I entered the chat multiple times. Billy kept Samson out of the cool party. And what Samson is saying is that's not cool, metal-lark union spirit. One, two, three, Brent. He's saying that's not teamwork. That you've got a professional. You've got a guy who, yes, he's got a resume in a pass that would not want

to be near Marlon's fan, Billy, who loves this team and Samson did stuff to this team that took Billy's money. Took Billy's money. But the audience doesn't care. They want to be entertained. The fact that Billy can't get over it or Mike can't get over it and what they sit around whining all the time, that's not exciting or good content. When you have the opportunity to do better, you should.

And if you listen to what your listeners and viewers are actually saying, I think you may appreciate it a little better. All right, and so we will get to the sound in just a second. Marlon's are going to come back right now. One, two, three, Brett. One, two, three, Brett. Don't whine about it. Don't.

I genuinely don't care. I don't, the only time I talk Marlon's, it's through this prism and I'm annoyed't care. I don't, the only time I talk Marlins is through this prison and I'm annoyed by it. All right, we'll read this in a second though. We will because I want to know what it is that he's saying. And I want you all to sink into the awkwardness of this because David Samson is being paid a lot at CBS for his baseball expertise this month. You had in the comment section someone desperate to spice up the proceedings with some good baseball talk and he was not invited.

He was locked out. He didn't have the corporate key to the party. So read this. Go ahead and read this DM, please. You know, I have to share this and they call it what they will, but I turned into the YouTube Marlins watch party done by the Levitard producers, and Chris Cody and Billy, whatever his last name is,

are downright scumbags, and pieces of shit towards you for no reason. The second the grand slam is hit by Philly. Billy says, so David Samson built a stadium on Native American ruins? Huh? What a guy. And then Chris strolls into the stream and goes, quote,

you know when you meet someone and they give off the shady guy vibe, that's David Samson. Everyone was silent and moved on to complaining about you in other ways. I've been a listening fan for 12 years of the Libos show. The show somehow decided when their topics don't suit them or something isn't going their way, they just shit on you for no reason.

Dan does it with Mike's quote fandom and how you killed it. Get the f*** over it Mike. And Dan come up with a new take, something original and not recycled from 2009. I just feel bad for you man. You do your best for that show and Dan and they give you nothing in return. You should go on and do a full lawyer talk and drop the corporate hammer on Chris and Billy and threaten to sue them for damages, harassment, libel, slander, all of it. Scare the shit out of them because they know they don't hold a candle to your intelligence and life experience. They straight up suck ass. And to top it all off, Jessica targets you to be rude

and talk shit about you. Do the same thing to her, I say. And show her you know more about unions and you are one pinky than she does in her whole 26 years of living. Wow. Roy's cool. They were at Roy's fine.

I got it. Wait, what color was that text? Is it green? I got no problem with Tony or that no talent, Fenton. Phew. What happened? That's quite something. Wait, what happened because they're accusing you here,

they don't want to say it to your face. I'll say it to his face, David, you wrote that. I swear to God. Okay. Okay, I will prove it right now. Right now, live on there. I'm assuming you and this is going to discovery. You wrote that message. A lot. Do not do this. Also prove it right now. Right now live on the air. This is going to discovery. You wrote that message.

Live. Do not do this. Also make it interesting. You did not need to make it to be here. Let me be very clear about something. I don't need to be here. I do it because I love Dan and I respect for what you guys are doing.

I don't need it. You think I'm going to make that up and take extra time out of my day prior to an ad-nend segment that people shit on because they don't respect the movie part. Yes. Here I go. Hold on, I need my glasses. You're gonna, you're gonna prove this with a lawyerly flourish, but first you have to get your reading glasses because you can't do the dismount. They didn't want you there.

That's it. They did not want you there. How many of those could you read? How many people are on your side? How many how many hundreds or thousands of people? there were a lot of people watching david and you wanted to be a part of it how many people have reached out to you and said we treated you unfairly last night to be fair david the idea of watching billy gill watch a baseball game for levitard and draft kings is probably the last thing on earth i wish to do the

most disingenuous person on the show is asking for favors now give me a break Boom, there's one I could keep going, but we're out of time. We are out of time. All right. We're out of time for this segment Jessica last words. I don't like that everyone here through Billy Gill under the bus. Yeah, that was bad But where is it you guys Chris was hiding under a table!

He's like, he needs a wheelbarrow like Mike McDaniel, this dog. Um, got a pair? He's got a man. Does he get a pair? My granddaughter sees his shlong. What are you talking about? And says what's that? She doesn't know.

She did. She's wearing honors. My granddaughter saw his shlong in the kitchen. And she said, what is that? What is this a game of clue? It's always hard to do it in the kitchen. I said that's what he means. She saw his shlong. Okay. That's what my grandmother said. Kitchen and she said what is this a game of clue It was a little extended. I don't know why he was so excited. All right very baby

Anyway, he ate my couch this is the down libertar Show with this two gods. Happy to welcome a meme back in here. We missed him, David Samson remains here and Ednan Burke joins us during a very busy time and I feel in some respects. Like I am wasting the time of these people talking about the movies because their expertise this time of year is actually valued by networks, more prestigious than metal arc, where their analysis is very strong and they're watching these games that are a lot of fun and we're not covering it because we have to wish a happy 55th birthday to Julia Roberts. Happy birthday to her. I don't care.

Good luck. And due top five lists, hacky like that because it's her birthday on Julia Roberts top five movies. So we're wasting their expertise to talk about movies all of which are gonna be 20 years ago. Ouch. At best. That best, you say, I mean.

Not about, that doesn't, thanks a lot guys, appreciate it. Well, should I talk baseball Mike? Because I genuinely, I, I, I, Yeah, preview today's games. I want, no, I wanted to talk baseball with me. You had an opportunity to do it for three hours straight yesterday and didn't want to do it. We could have had had Nan come in.

Not Nan, sorry, you couldn't make it last night. Easy, just a little bit. David, baseball, though, that was a problem. You're more emo than Jimmy Butler at this point. Just relax, I'll give you guys, you have the floor. Preview all of today's exciting games. I'm still reeling from Jose Barrios being given the hook after 47 pitches.

The hell's gone wrong with the world. I don't even want to talk with that. And there are no games today. That was a setup. That was a joke. You're supposed to stay silent. There is no preview of today's games. He said I was up to look bad. Can I just discuss, Flashton, you're going to be picked off in a game down to nothing? I'm not saying to help us in happening. What's he doing? I'm just running across.

A disgrace to his father. A disgrace. A disgrace. Thank you. That's what we need to discuss. There's a runner on third. Where are you going? Take your lead. Take a big secondary lead. How do you get picked off and then do run deficit with boba shut up? Inconsiderate. Talk during the party about John Birdie and what happened with him with the riots on deck. But God forbid we add any value to the Marlon's watch party. I would love for you guys to geek out right now for two minutes. It's your one connection point. You guys talking about baseball. I don't think you two can

geek out on anything like that. We give them two minutes. We're not going to get the Julia Roberts top fives. So why not? Well, they're walking into all this awkwardness, though, where David's got his feelings still hurt and and Adnan wasn't invited last night either. Oh he was invited. Oh no. Are you kidding me? You cannot be serious adnan. You're telling me you were invited and you didn't show up. David, I'd like to point out as Dan said, I do have a network job. I mean, there is MLB network. I was on national television with Harold Reynolds and Yankee hitting coach Sean Casey. I started to make time for it. I mean, I'm just making it clear. I'm not just sitting on the couch. You were on for three straight hours.

Um, yeah. I think we did post. Yeah. Thanks for watching. I appreciate that. We were really amazing. Not one break. Just straight through. We were locked in. Sonny Gray, we're after the game. Spoked us first. Can't take those interviews. Sonny Gray is available right now. We're going to interview him after the game. It's first. Can't take those interviews. Sunny crazy available right now. We're going to interview after the game. It's great. Did he, did he confirm that he touched his hat and a rod nailed his mouth's free as being?

It was that touch and what a brilliant move to Joe Kareya. And I try to explain to the audience this morning, it's actually the space play. If you are between the runner and the base, there's going to be a pick off and the catcher has the the runner and the base, there's going to be a pickoff and the catcher has the signal to show the pitcher, hey, the guy on second sleeping, that's the pickoff. Sunny Gray scratching his dandruff. Sorry, A. Rod, not the case.

That was the Gray said it was all correct. He said he knew early on they had a play, went to pitchcom, etc. But go ahead. I like the lab fasting a bit. No, no, no. A. rod went viral with a cue that baseball people knew was dumb and that's the analysis. That's that's what happened. Like it, look, a rods giving you expertise that all baseball people know is incredibly wrong. But that's is how you climb in the industry. Bad dumb analysis with a big smile and a lot of fame and time. Two minutes or a, Julie Roberts top five.

All right, number five, David, are there any O.L.I.s here? Steel Magnolias. Steel Magnolias is one of my top five all time emotional crime movies. It is Julia Roberts, it's about life, it's about death, and if you get through it without crime, then I don't know who you are. What's the problem, man? And then why do you have a problem with this already? Dan, the reason you're crying is you can't handle the stultifying boredom of this movie in

2023. That's why you're crying. You're crying to be put out of your misery. That's where the tears are coming from. Not another modland, overly sentimental story about dying and women and just it's a tough watch. I was a tough watch in 1990 It's a tougher watch now, dude. Modeling you're gonna say steel mag and now you're gonna tell me terms of Endearment is modeling. That's what I say terms of a deer man actually is what's still made noise wishes It could be that's what it aspired to be. It's a poor imitation of it. This is what we become we we become the show I wanted to do baseball and you ran me off of that. Yeah, just two guys arguing whether or not

steel McNulty is his model. Yes, that's who we are right now. That is correct. That's what that show. Well, what did we do before? We sunk into the awkwardness of Samson wanting in on a party last night that now Adden was invited to.

Number five, we're running out of time. Number four. And McMagnolia's was so great. I am actually not gonna give you number four because I'm gonna use my number four time to ask a question of Chris Cody very simply. How is it that you thought Adnan was bring more value and not even showing up than in actually asking me

to join when I was available. She was great in that. What's the question? You just keep going. Give me the list. Number three. Oceans 11. BOT!

That's a terrible pick. I mean, jump all all over what the hell are we doing right now? And that is a Julia Roberts movie that's a slick overly produced movie of the bunch of handsome dudes Immotating the rat pack for a different generation. That's not Julia Roberts movie. Come on Adam I'm just waiting to see where the Valentine's Day lands on his list Number two, it ain't a Julie Roberts movie. Like, come on, David. I mean, it's ridiculous.

Your classic ensemble. I'm going to tell you why Ocean's 11 is my number three, because I watched it during that 48 hour challenge last weekend. And for whatever reason, it hit me really well, because I was tired and grumpy and hurting and I said wow this is a really good movie and I was looking at Julia Roberts thinking she was a huge part of it so then it was her 55th birthday and that's how it made the list. Number two, my best friend's wedding. Hell yeah, Cameron Diaz, Dur, Mulroney and Julia Roberts.

This is my dream where you're always the friend and you want to be the lover so badly and you come this close and then you have to seed at the end, realizing that you're stuck in the ducky zone, which is a zone that I've been in for most of my life. So that movie definitely does something for me. Hell yeah. I guess we have different dreams, bud. That's that's it. She should have said something on the boat. She had him. She should have. My Brian, no, say it. No, my Brian. Sam sent, look, my Brian does not want the unpopularity that comes with siding with you,

but he mouths. I saw him. he wouldn't do it on Mike, fire when you said that, fire that movie. Movie's great. Rupert Everett was Magnum. Rupert Everett has a very serious group of other guys. Seen stealing Rupert Everett. The closing credits to my best friend's wedding

when they're dancing and when they're on the phone and all of a sudden they realize they're in the same place because he came to the wedding is one of the great endings of a romantic comedy there is which is why it deserves to be number two. But all of them, pale to number one. The number one Julia Roberts movie of all time. Pretty well done. What?

That's gotta be pretty well done. Great choice. I'm sorry, man. It's just the only thing that can say this list is pretty well done. Great job. This is the only making safest list is pretty woman. Great job. This is the only way I can say this list. The number one Julia Roberts movie of all time is Notting Hill. I watch Notting Hill maybe a hundred times, maybe more.

I own it. I have it on every device. And I've been to Notting Hill. You can look at me. Louis, all you want where I have it on every device. And I've been to Notting Hill, you can look at me, Louis, all you want, where I hang out in front of the blue door. I go down the fair and I try to see, will love find me, how great would that be? Trying to run into people and spill coffee, take pictures,

and that movie when she presents him with the shagall. And when you leave, this is the stupidest list ever. Are you joking? David, you're going to sell not a guy ever. He is offended. He and I at his core, what has happened here is the cinematic soul of Adnan Burke has so offended that you have now tickled him and all he can do is broadcast giggle laugh at your face because he is deeply wounded by how bad a choice this is. Please explain to the audience broadcaster man why it is this pick is so bad.

Notting Hill to him this is this is laughable like you know Julian Roberts is an iconic actress you know wherever she goes you're gonna hear Roy Orbison in the streets. Pretty woman has got to be number one, and you're gonna tell me notting Hill? More like Rodding Hill. They're not like, oh! Oh! Bars!

Oh! But you know what, you're just gonna stand as a physically abusive, a street walker. How about that? More like Rodding. Unfortunately, we've devoted far too much time to Samson, so you're gonna got to go through your

less rapid fire no problem like uh... i don't know how we can get over the whole of not in here but number five is august o' sage county uh... so stuffy number four is closer number three where my denzel fans that pelican briefs on my list the one i see number two one to one to Katmio Ward, Aaron Brockovich.

Fantastic. On my list, and number one, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Den, Pretty woman. Richard G. Let's go. Look at that speeding through that low step, mom. No love for Charlie Wilson's war. I think let's filter off.

I figure you guys would have mad at you. Oh, I'll sleep in with the enemy. That's another good one. Conspiracy theory. You're never gonna be jealous. They would have been so good on baseball. Yeah. I'm happy to come back anytime you want to.

No thanks. We're good. Don Lebatard, do you realize that for 30 minutes now we might not have been doing good show But we were doing show for about 30 minutes and then you just decided to tell the story as if we were at the in the eating area Still got so many refer to it as a kitchen right eating area concern who calls it an eating area nobody nobody Right eating area was Nobody. Nobody. Right. I'm eating area. What's the bedroom? The sleeping area? Let's hang on. I gotta go to the urinating area. I'll be right back. Eating area. This is the Don Lebertar show with this two cats.

There is a thunderous roti you by Draft King Sportsbook. Use code, Dan when he sign up on the app for limited time offer for all new customers. Let's get back on the win and track here folks. Jessica's oddly enthusiastic about this for reasons I don't understand. She eared eared. Copy number two. Okay, that's ear to ear. Coffee number two. Okay, that's what it is. It's the Chulatin.

We begin. This is all Thursday night football and we got a doozy tonight. Yeah. We got Bears Commanders. Oh, no. Yeah, but we're gonna make some money in the process. Keep in mind, this is not gambling advice. This is content.

It's fun, but you're gonna win. I don't think that's how you're supposed to do it. Well, no, just let's do this correctly because the gambling company does this well all over their network. They have people who are very good at this. We are the flippant ones and our picks are content to what, what did she, she didn't have got Fesito, did she? No. You didn't have got Fesito, did she? You didn't have Capacito, did she? Yeah, she's a hamptop. She was dissaid.

She can't wait to do Thursday thunder and I'm confused. Are there, is there another matchup that could be any more fart than the one we have on Thursday night? We got Broncos Jets this week too. Last week we had Broncos Bears, which was. What a fart. It was a fun one though. A fun fart.

Let's find the optimal fart matchup. Yeah, put her her on the pole, Juju is the Thursday night game of fart Commanders money line is our first leg. You know how I like to build a nice easy base The spread is such you're powered on the front end of these That's one way to pose it you you take the big favorite you want me to get brave? Okay, I'll get brave. We'll show up tonight. I mean, that's been nicey as of late. But we're gonna take bears over 19 and a half total points.

So we have Washington commanders at one point. On one end of the parlay, we think the bears are gonna be competitive and score over 19 and a half point. Jessica hates this bet. I love this bet. Jessica, I saw your face, you don't trust the bears to score ten points. You would bet to under ten points. You could have ended the sentence at bears.

Hey, and we're closing out the parlay with Colcomat over 25 yards. Oh! That's a fart bet. It's a fart bet. That's a fart bet. It's a fart bet. That's a fart bet. It's a fart bet on a fart game. Like, what kind of bet is that? Fett.

And not part of Thursday Thunder? Colcomets got a score touchdown today. And you're gonna thank me. I'm gonna thank you. You're gonna thank me. I like it. You've done the last Thursday night game you won a four-legged parlay.

Did you not? Yeah, I think so. We've done well this football season on Thursday Thunder. Okay, enough with that segment. I want to get back to something. I mean, you're walking into some awkwardness here. I will tell you that I had a giant smile on my face. Those have been hard to come by recently because of some of what I've got going on in my

life. But when I look at the screen when Dave Samson is indignant, indignant that he was not invited to something he feels like was a company party. Chris Cody retreated in shame from things he said on that broadcast about David Samson. And I was hoping that video caught both Jessica's reaction to all of this and Chris's because-

I didn't feel like I was that embarrassed. Okay, let's look at the video here real quick. I'd like video to just put up on the screen. I've- Oh, okay. Maybe I was a little bit better. Oh my God. He was terrifying.

I don't know if they have Jessica. Jessica's was funnier to me because she wasn't afraid. She was was like yeah, you weren't invited. You don't know why? No, just a bunch of me. That's all we got Look at this you're not proud there. No, you were ashamed and you felt genuine like you don't like to hurt people's feelings So you got it's what I love a good joke. Oh, so Dan look at Dan tickled Well, yes, I was laughing. I was laughing at how Chris was mortified. I'm looking at me. Can we go back to Dan? Yes, of course. Mortified Dan. No, that's love. You love me, Dano. You're like, that's my guy.

What a good boy. This might replace the Chris Cody being Italian meme. Do we have Jessica? Do we have any video? Because Jessica, you were delighted. You wanted to explain to David why he wasn't invited. It seemed like from where I was sitting. I, you know what? I feel like it's a little self-explanatory to not put David on a stream that's for Marlon's fans, but maybe I'm wrong. I have less experience in all things than David has in his pinky finger and also I'm still 26. I don't know if you missed that. So who's to say Dan? I've never been more confused at this show.

At day and being confused is to why Samson joining that particular watch party would have landed on the wrong side. They can do it the next time the Marlins make it to the post season, all right? History says. Or they have a watch party. The next time the franchise decides to betray the fans and he's a perfect fit. I mean company and office dynamics that can be awkward.

You have worked in professional sports. Corporate David wants to be invited to things where he can prove to be an expert because he does have expertise in baseball. CBS is paying him a lot of money to analyze these games that people do care about. And he wanted to come on and make content with the crew. And they're like, no, this isn't the kind of party we want you at. I would say that that's some

corporate dysfunction when you have somebody trying to be a part of our crew and doing a podcast for the network. And he can't come to the company party. Yeah, I mean, the weirdest thing was they invited me to be on it. That this is awkward now. And I was like, I don't, I mean, I'll try, but I was too busy doing other things. You know nothing about baseball. I've been trying to convince you all season that the razor worth watching. Well, and good deal that did. I'm glad I didn't waste any time doing that. But I ended it the same way.

Is that your thing like texting back to basketball people about the race? I was trying to convince, I mean, did not believe that I cared about that baseball team, that would end it the same way. Is that your thing like texting basketball people about the raise? I was trying to convince, I mean did not believe that I cared about that baseball team, that the expertise they were playing with was something that was sculpted and worth fire gambling. What are we talking about?

Stan Van Gundy's been begging Dan to stop texting him for months. That's right, I'm polluting. I was trying to become the, with the last part of my career, the national race correspondent I failed and their run didn't go far enough I would have been doing interviews on radio all over the land as a race expert this month because I cared about sports again

We're talking about Yandi Diaz. Yes, all of them. Yes, but then we don't know by the way See of course he is Of course you didn't want that team either. Oh, but I know Yandi Yandi's my boy Why couldn't we get you into baseball? Why couldn't anybody know? I was in I was in man We went to a game. I don't remember what game Tony you brag yesterday how you last So that's right you went to games that and then you didn't watch him and last night in the a thinning You're like I haven't even watched this game. I was watching though damn you are Intense party you're at the party. Do you with Lewis?

No, damn. You were at the party. You were at the party. It's like a lot of duty with Lewis. Yeah, I'm gonna say, Tony, you were, Tony, you were totally relaxed about you didn't give me an awkward face of any kind and neither did Roy. Roy, did you feel some awkwardness with, with Samson because Jessica's face and Chris Cody's face

were laugh out loud, funny. I did and it was hysterical. Yeah. For me, it's like, Luciento. But, you know, yeah, do it. Yeah, that Jessica was not hurt. She was not sad. She's like, how do you not understand? How do you not understand why you wouldn't mean like have you met yourself? She's like, have you met yourself?

It's like somebody farted. She's so sick. What does that smell like? Chris is the one who did it. I would say caption that. I would say caption that. Have you not met yourself would win a caption content? That is the face that she's giving. Hey Jessica, why wasn't David Chimson invited to the fun party?

Have you not met yourself? She looks like she smelled a fart that Chris just built. Look at that. This is Chris's. that's the guilty. But Tony and Roy totally come. You guys didn't feel any awkwardness. You were just playing video games all the time. Well, I'm the one that made the ad-nan comment to him.

Like, I feel like that's what really got him. When I told him ad-nan was invited, he was just like, wait, seriously? Yeah, that was it. A mean was invited. I mean, he was asking us earlier this year like very basic things about baseball. I was like, yeah, so Scott Brochus is still around.

Ah! Ah! Ah! Same no two, bro. What I feel is that like I want David to be a part of it, but here's the thing, the game, we weren't really analyzing it. We were analyzing everything but it.

So it feels like David would have been like, come on guys, let's talk baseball. And we'd be like, eh, feel like it is weird because Mike Hill was there. Yeah That's that's funny for two a few people I got it. I got that Which two people it's no, but it is that's like there's something to it is like it's not a baseball watch along It's a baseball watch party and it's like do you want Samson to come to your party?

I think it was a friend's hang. Yeah. Friend. I think for every message to David, telling him that he should feel bad and slighted. There also would have been 10 messages. Like, why did you have David on the stream? Like, this is from Arlene's fans.

Yeah. So he got to balance that out. But Tony navigated the whole thing. I think I'm ready to declare this. It took him a while to earn it, but you guys tell me if you're willing to sign off on this. I've been reluctant to give it. I believe Tony might be a glue guy

that he gets along with everybody a little bit. He's not gonna have any of these awkwardnesses. No, he's not gonna have it. He's gonna be supportive of everyone in the group. And he definitely like coward away. Like as soon as we went off air, he was like, David, I swear, I didn't know you wanted to get in. No, I would have let you in.

No, it's not cowering. It's being honest with my guy. David's my guy. And if I would have seen him in the chat, I was reading the chat, I was telling people I could beat him one-on-one because that's a lot of the things that they like to tell me. I would have seen David

and I would have told him I could beat him one-on-one. You could have gotten him into the club. You could have, you would have ruined the party. Yeah, but when you have the cred of like no, this is my guy. You're good Then it would have gone over. How does that all go over Billy's not here today All we have is his crestfallen video seeing the grand slam of his season and please put that up again at some point Just to delight me at some point during the segment by just Billy's reaction isolated to To seeing his season ended.

But you don't think that he would have enjoyed that with David Samson, that moment? I think so because he would have seen David have been like, you know what, I can do something with this. I do think he would have been the least excited of the group. Wasn't he hosting? Billy.

Wasn't he hosting? Right, that's why it made sense to Mike's point. It kind of made sense that Samson was left out. To bring him to Billy's's worst look at this is what billy would have done it if samson showed up the whole time look at the face here this is billy and rage with all of his repressed marlin's rage and it's inflating his face because this team and he said the f word that's no that's what about say Dan that's the f word right in the

hanger in the exit bay. Really? Ready for takeoff. As soon as those doors go. Right there he's. It was a long F, too. It was like, gentlemen.
