This is the Don Leventor Show with the StuGuts Podcast. This episode is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Would I shock any of you if I told you that Tim Kirchhen used to rabidly run a pick-up basketball game that Cal Ripken, Jr. played in and that in general, Tim Kirchhen knows about very little, very, very little, but he knows baseball and I don't know that he knows that much less about basketball because I dare say that, what are you doing? It's a double negative from hell that you just said.

You don't know that he doesn't know that much less about. Okay, so forgive me. I think that Tim cares about basketball and knows about basketball in many of the same ways that he does about baseball. Tim, do I have that wrong? No, you have it right. And I remember the Don Nelson play very vividly.

Keith Erickson tipped that ball away from John Havlicek, and Don Nelson shot it from the free throw line. And I'll never forget how high that ball went, and then it went straight through for an enormous bucket in a playoff game. But Halliburton's, as we know, went, I think it's 7.23 feet in the air. I have never seen a shot, a ball go to the shot clock above the backboard like that. And Brian Magid, who's a friend of mine, one

of the great shooters ever told me he's never seen anything like that and he still shoots everyday he's still one of the greatest shooters ever and he said i went out the date the next day he said and i shot that shot trying to recreate that shot for thirty minutes and never even come close

he said i promise you if i shoot that shot for 30 minutes and never even come close. He said I promise you if I shoot that shot every day for an hour until on 90 I will never be able to recreate that shot. That's how crazy that was hold on so Tim here's the music finally one of my let me introduce you America to one of my friends. I introduce you, America, to one of my math friends. He is math friends. Tim, thank you, because they were making fun of me,

because I'm like, do you guys realize how improbable that shot was? Yeah, Dan, who cares? Math, math, math, math. You called it math friends. No, but this is. That's the part we jumped on. My point is, yeah, now backtrack.

Now that it's no longer cool to mock the math guy. But it's not math, though. it to me it comes down to shooting form right he he has incredible backspin on his shot and so the reason you do that is to give the ball a chance to not just ricochet hard off the rim, but if it goes up it will have a chance to drop in now it went up. Unusually high but that doesn't make it a lucky shot, which is kind of what your whole premise is, is that it was a lucky shot, and it's not a lucky shot.

It's a shooter's role. I mean, you're bearing the lead here. I don't want to live in a country in which some guy can just say, I texted my math friends, and think that he can just move on with this show without guys saying, wait a second, math friends, you nerd. Preach!

That's America, Jack. That is America. This is Math Friends! This is one of my math friends you nerd. Preach! That's America Jack. That is America. This is one of my math friends you know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna do something this month with Tim Kirkshin and my math friends we're gonna do a baseball game I'm gonna show you that me and my math friends can throw a party even though you guys are afraid of math and you like to make fun of math Tim Kirkshinens genuinely excited about sports surprising him all the time and what he's telling you in terms of improbabilities.

The Halliburton shot's not being covered correctly. As a historic shot, it will never happen again. It's never happened before, it'll never happen again, it'll never happen at the end of the game. This is why we need sports science. You're using Kirchens wrong. Yeah. I'll tell you how to use Kirch game. This is why we need sports science. You're using Kirkchen wrong. Yeah. All right.

I'll tell you how to use Kirkchen. I text Kirkchen last week, who's the slowest position player in history? Oh, that's a good question. That's how you use a Tim Kirkchen, Dan. Tim? I think I said it was Ron Hassen. He did.

And then I said, and then I pitched. Caught a bunch of no hitters and was a good catcher. And he had some bad knees, so he was slow. And Chris, you came up with Benji Molina, right? Yes, Benji Molina, good call by me. Great shout by me. And Benji Molina, who hit for the cycle once. How about that?

So Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, and Babe Ruth never hit for the cycle. But Benji Molina did. I want to see that triple. So good. It's so good. The sports are so good. And you're right, Dan, I'm still amazed by the probabilities and the possibilities when you watch a game

and that shot I've never seen before. And you're right. I don't think we'll ever see that again. I will acknowledge that i've not used him kurchin right so tim kurchin pablo sandoval it is already laughing

uh... you haven't even said you have a better deal than the name but that's not what and this is why i'm laughing i swear to to God, yesterday I went to the Safeway and this guy comes up to me, I don't even know him, and he says, what's your favorite looks like on the Levitard game? I don't even know who he is.

So I tell him, well, it's Jeff Van Gundy, who looks like the coroner who does an autopsy while he's eating a ham sandwich. And then this guy says me my favorite he said is stand Van Gundy looks like the generic face on a pizza box. I came on right after him. The leaveable what a job position me next to stand Van Gundy after a guy in the frozen food aisle

Asked me a question about the Van Gundy brothers. That's less than probable than the Halliburton shot Does Pablo Sandoval look like the bear-shaped bottle of honey? of hunting. That's right. That's right. Does Aaron judge look like the most athletic member of the Adams family? lurch the the new rain only yeah well that is for the sues limited fake lurch from the other family by tim kurchin uh... tim real quick because i want to tell the audience this again i he does a podcast with his son is this a great game or what his son jeff and uh... i will tell you that i'm a sucker for the father-son stuff greg cody does it very well with his son Chris and Yeti,

and Jeff and Tim do it well so that people can see how much range his dad actually has, or how little, as the case may be, because Jeff has a funny relationship with his dad. But when you think of projects you've done in your life, Tim, is there a second place to this one? Like, I would imagine being able to do this at this point in your life, this podcast,

that it's the most meaningful work you can do. Yeah, I used to host a show on baseball called the Seam Head edition of Baseball Tonight, which ran every Sunday. I did that for four years and that was really cool. But this is by far the best thing that i've ever done in the most satisfying thing that i've ever done to them doing it with my son and he's he knows everything that i don't know which is everything other than

baseball basketball and sitcom from the sixties because i don't know anything else and he's a new piece of wizard with technology he's got a great sense of humor we had steve r the other day and we laughed for 45 minutes. It was hilarious So yes, this is the best thing I've ever done and I we now do it three days a week So we're just trying to keep it up Does Paul Feinbaum? Look like the maitre d at a fancy restaurant look like the maitre d' at a fancy restaurant? Yes.

Isn't he the personification of the NCAA rule book? Yes, he is, he is also that, that is correct. I love his corrections. Does Joe Girardi look like he has a favorite chair in the husband sitting area outside of Dillard's? Ha ha ha. I can see it. Look at that laugh right there. I can see it.

Look at that laugh right there. Yes, it is. Does Scott Hansen look like an orthodontist? Ha ha ha. An orthodontist? Does Adam Silver? It's the playoffs, Dan. You can't use these during the NBA playoffs.

Does Adam Silver look like the four star general in a post-apocalyptic movie faced with the daunting reality of an alien invasion and the likely end of humanity as we know it, who says staring off into the distance, they're already here. We're the aliens now. Tim, the most excited you are about a trend this season in baseball. I'm always complimenting you at how you evolve with the game.

So Javi Baez in center field, first baseman, leadoff men hitting home run, you keep seeing how it is, the game game changes and you appreciate it right you appreciate uh how the game is being distorted so that what Aaron Judge is doing right now is something that you can look at and be like this is the best that baseball can possibly be played right well speaking of strikeouts and leadoff guys night, Lawrence Butler struck out four times in a game for the A's hitting leadoff. So that's 16 times this season that a leadoff hitter has struck out four or more times in a game. Again, Dan, I bring this up because when I grew up, the leadoff guy was a pixie little second baseman shortstop who could run a little bit put the ball in play and rarely struck out and now

no season before june has ever had sixteen guys strike out four more times out of the leadoff spot just another reminder how much the game is evolving that we just put our biggest and best players whether it's kyle schwarber show a hotel in in the leadoff spot as they get up or times if they strike out that we just put our biggest and best players, whether it's Kyle Schwab or Shohei Otani, in the leadoff spot, because they can get up more times. If they strike out four times in a game, it's not a big deal.

So yeah, that's just another thing that is changing in the game. But you mentioned Aaron Judge, Dan. I got asked the other day if Aaron Judge is going to hit 400 this year. The answer is a resounding no, nothing against him. It's just just this is the hardest hitting environment that i've ever seen and no one will ever hit

four hundred facing the stuff that they face every day the fact that he is that close to four hundred and we're almost to june any six seven two eighty two it's a miracle and it just shows you how much he has involved as a hitter and that he uses swing and miss all the time he's a strikeout all the time shut chased out of the strike zone all the time doesn't do that much very often anymore. And that's why he is spectacularly good almost every night.

This is a leading question. Okay, but what is the best baseball movie made Tim? Do you like have a ranking on this because I imagine it's Field of Dreams for you is it something else? No it's Field of Dreams and no doubt my dad was the most important part of my life in every way my dad was a really good player my dad taught me and my brothers how to play the game gave us a feel for the game and that movie is all about a father and a son so yes it is my favorite movie it always will be my favorite book of the movie major league in major league to do you

have any opinion on either one of those uh... second uh... i i like that uh... i'd like to charlie she was able to throw a baseball athletically i was not expecting that and he did playing the part of rick vaughn the picture in major league and today i'm going to the airport as soon as i'm done here to pick up my friend rick vaughn uh... we used to be the p r director of the raise the orioles the air rick vaughn big red red

and rick vaughn through really hard in his day really hard this is the reason i asked you a question to me because in major league two uh... wild thing rick von at the end of the movie the way that it finishes is holy shit he throws so hard he struck out parkman he did it with fastballs of ninety nine one oh one and one oh two and my question is give me a number of pictures in the big leagues who could do this tonight. There are probably a handful that could throw

three straight pitches, 99, 101, 102, maybe a handful, but that's three pitches in a row that's hard to do. Maybe a couple more, maybe one more than that could throw as hard as 102. My general point is just what was the ending of that particular movie and series comes out of the a's bullpen now and does that very easily six times in the night right and and mason miller is tremendous and by the way that guy got sick a

couple years ago and he lost weight down to like a hundred and fifty five pounds i wait a hundred forty this morning by the way to wait a hundred and fifty five pounds i wait a hundred forty this morning by the way to wait a hundred and fifty five because of the sickness any gained it all back and now it throws over a hundred miles an hour again and then one more time if anyone out there actually thinks they could put a ball and play against the major league hitter pitcher today you've got to be kidding me and a hundred and two isn't in comopre and simple rate of speed ch Chris, sit down. None of you guys would get a bunt down against Garrett Cole or anybody else in it. No. Left handed, right handed. No chance. Chris, you have a good

swing. I can tell. But a hundred and two is something that you have never seen or that anybody else in that room. What if I time it for a couple of pitches? No, no. Mike, he's going to buzz the tower with the first pitch. He's going to scare the life out of you with the first pitch. And then you and everyone else in that room, Chris included, is going to be afraid to get back in there after he throws it at your face with the first pitch.

What if I step out of the batter's box, point my bat to him and say, you try that one more time, we're gonna have a problem. Yeah, pal. Yeah, pal. I asked Dusty Baker once, he asked me about facing Bob Gibson. So he went to Hank Aaron and said,

I'm facing Bob Gibson tonight, what should I think about? And Hank Aaron said, whatever you do, don't look at him. Whatever you do, don't look at him. Whatever you do don't talk to him And if he knocks you down do not charge the mound because he will beat your ass The same thing would happen to you mike you point a bat at a major league pitcher He's going to kick your ass. No matter what. Sorry no matter how big strong and athletic you are All right, gary cole you try that one more All right, Gary Cole, you try that one more time, pal. All right, you try that one more time.

That's how that stops. I love the jargon of buzz the tower. Oh, I love it so much. And coming from Kerch and like he's some sort of five star general, buzz the tower. Oh my God. What he's saying though, the lunacy of what he says is that it is common in that sport to like buzz the tower when what you're saying is throw that

Sphere 102 miles an hour at someone's face. You guys think you'd be scared of that. Yes, of course You'd also be scared of something right down the middle. Yeah. No, I'm my first head bat in Glades Cory league I got hit with a pitch. I did not swing the bat for the remainder of the season Chris Cody Tim what I'm not kidding you when I say, if I put Chris Cody right now in a batter's box against 102, would he see anything other than a black dot? No, and he would have zero chance, obviously,

of getting hit or putting it in play. Set it up. Zero chance of making contact. And I must say, speaking of, the proudest moment I've ever had on this show was when Dan asked me if you would name a rock band which you would be in and name it after a baseball term, I said, Buzz the Tower.

What a great name for a rock band. And that was because Dan asked me a stupid question as he always does, and I came up with a stupid answer. Buz the tower. That's a cool answer. Thank you, Seattle! We are! Buz the tower!

Yeah! Yeah! Tim, give me 20 pitches. I'll make contact. I'm not saying I'm getting a hit. There will be contact with the bat on one of those 20 pitches. You're discounting that we're on the on-deck circle. We're timing that pitch.

We're timing it. on one of those you're discounting that were in the uh... we're on the on deck circle what time that pitch what what time it it chris might if it's a competition and the picture loses jacob degrom loses if you put it in play or make contact he's not going to lose he's going to make sure that you don't make contact even if he has to throw on up in it

zero chance chris sorry i can achieve all things through christ that you don't make contact, even if he has to throw on up and in. Zero chance, Chris, sorry. I can achieve all things through Christ. Tim, I got a question for you. Football players are renowned, they watch a ton of film. They're a constantly consuming film. I would say that you can't be a pro football player if you're not watching film, right? Basketball players, there are some who watch a lot of film, but there are some who are just kind of like off the field

of especially guys who are advanced. Like I know, I know how guys are gonna play and I can adjust and figure it out. For baseball players, do they typically all watch a ton of film like the football players or are there guys that just go out there and say, I've faced this picture enough times, I know what I'm doing?

Yep, most players look at their iPad or some sort of video device after most at bats just to see what it looked like. And it bothers me, it worries me a little bit that a young pitcher was asked a couple years ago by his pitching coach after the young pitcher had just thrown a bullpen. How did your bullpen go? And the pitcher said, I don't know, I'll have to look at my iPad. So he couldn't even tell you how he threw for 10 minutes in the bullpen until he looked at his iPad and went over it. Same picture was after, all right,

you're facing judge, base load at two outs, eighth inning, two-two count, what picture are you throwing? And he said, whatever my iPad tells me to throw. And that's my worrisome part, is that we've stopped watching the games to some degree, and we are watching our iPads and our at bats and our bullpens instead of actually watching the game. A couple of things here, Tim, I wanna break some news for you,

and in exchange for that, I want you to do a promo for Jeremy Tash's new show Buzz the Tower instead of what he's got coming on later in the show. It's presently called Pitch Clock or some other thing or Pitch Count. Yeah, no that's right. Or something else but I'd like to call it Buzz the Tower, executive produced by Tim Kirkjian. If he breaks some news here that you did not know about baseball that we surprise you with will you cut a promo for Jeremy

Tashay's new baseball show buzz the tower yes I think I've made it clear I will do just about anything on this show okay like me but if Dan asked me I'll do it all right so that's a deal that's the bet let's see if we could surprise Tim Kirch and it's rare to surprise him anything baseball related And you're asking me to be able to accomplish this. Okay, so Here's what I would say Tim in the first inning Aaron judge was intentionally walked It's the first time since who in what season that a Yankee was intentionally walked in the first inning All right, forgive me here Tim. You can think about that for a moment if you like, if you need some filibustering.

Jeremy, I was under the confusion that we actually had a band that had buzzed the tower already as its name. Oh, the front man of that band, Dan, is Bronson Arroyo. With the lead guitarist of Bernie Williams, and playing bass of course, Barry Zito. is Bronson Arroyo. With the lead guitarist of Bernie Williams and playing bass, of course, Barry Zito.

Did you know that Buzz the Tower already existed and that these three baseball players made up Buzz the Tower, the rock band? I did not, but you asked me that question about 10 years ago, so it's possible I came up with the name of the band before they formed the band But no, I did not know that and I'm sorry as for the intentional walks. I'm gonna filibuster

Judge walked was walked intentionally in the first two innings yesterday Think about that for a second that's happened five other times in the last 30 years twice to Barry Bonds, once to Freddie Freeman, once to Albert Pujols and once to Jose Ramirez. But to get walked twice intentionally in the first two innings is very unusual. And I don't know the last Yankee to do this. So you have indeed stumped me. But my guess is it was, it was, it was Aaron

judge some other time, but I don't know. The answer is on June 17th, 2012 Robinson Cano is the last Yankee who was walked intentionally in the first inning. You math guys know how to party. I got mad. Tim isn't, that's not fair. No, I'm not. I'm not. Well, by the way, Roger Maris was not intentionally walked one time in 1961 when he hit 61 home runs. And then the next season, again, just to show you how the games work, he got intentionally

walked four times in one game, having not been intentionally walked once in the year before these this is a lot This is what breaks out at these parties. It's why I love it. What it might mess when he and Mike sure get together It's like watching nine-year-olds trade baseball cards Party to you. It is a party. I'm gonna do this. It's I'm gonna show you what a party it is at some point I'm gonna show you buzz the tower Go ahead as you get out of here Tim, just Buzz the Tower. Jeremy Tashay's new show is endorsed by Tim Kirch and you owe us this because we stumped you. Go ahead and do the endorsement. In the second hour of today's show, we have a new show. Jeremy Tashay, Buzz the Tower.

Right. Jeremy Tashay has a new show. It's called Buzz the Tower. I am the director and the producer of the show. Please watch, it'll be well worth it. It's really good. Provo cut! I don't know why he had to yell at us. Yeah. Tim, thank you, it's always nice seeing you.

No, I think, no, but dude, you're so wrong on that. We've been terrified of this team forever and I think there's a different energy where the Panthers, they want the Lightning. Stugats. I want t-shirts made for this Panther run, what could be this Panther run. Our Panther group chat, we're not afraid of the lightning. That's a tagline for World Raw 3.

["The Star-Spangled Banner"] So it's no longer pitch clock, it is now Buzz the Tower. Get Angel on the graphics. Everybody's good with this, it's a cooler name. Well he's now the director and producer too, so the fees are definitely going to be divvied up a lot different. Next week we'll talk about that. This week we're going to stick with calling it the Pitch Clock and then into June we'll

settle the financials. Why's Maverick in trouble at Top Gun. I wanted to ask Andrew Hawkins about something that I never got to that really did delight me last week. And I know you guys talked about it some, but the idea that in professional football, where all of these people are just killing themselves for any advantage, that they would go to the the owners meetings and that the Philadelphia Eagles owner would speak for one hour about the tush push in a room of rich people yelling and screaming at each other about how to get

a yard physically and they've got a, at the center of our greatest combat sport, they've got the moral conundrum of, this isn't really the spirit of everything we're doing around here. Can we, in this one spot, protect spirit of, preciously, because, like, if you want to stop the play, then stop the play, stop the play! And then you've got the Eagles owner, stop the play.

Like you say, I won the championship, you can't stop my play, Rich guys. I'm getting juiced up, baby. And so these rich people yelling about this for an hour as the other owners are like, have you said enough yet? It's one of the great dumb things I've ever seen at the top of leadership in anything.

That's football, baby. That's how it goes, Dan. It's all about, it doesn't matter how rich you are, how competitive are you? Can you stop me? Can you stop my team? If so, do it! Don't change the rules.

Be a man. I don't care how rich, how old, how fragile the bones may be. It's a spirit. Let's go. Were they at the breakers when they were doing these meetings? Yes, yeah, the breakers. Traditionally, there's something that is overlooked

and the NFL and the other teams that oppose this have done a really good job in shaping this narrative in that that's an anti-football play. That's not football. That's not what we tune into. I think it's as simple as this. There was one team that actually came out in support of the Philadelphia Eagles

that plays the Philadelphia Eagles. All these teams are just doing what they should do. The responsibility to their team. If there is an unstoppable play that the Philadelphia Eagles run and you play the Philadelphia Eagles or think you could play them down the line, you owe it to your franchise to come out and stomp your feet and say, no, no, not a good play, not aesthetically pleasing, not what we do when all you're trying to do is win a fricking football game. Credit to Dane Campbell for being like, yeah, we play them. We'd like to do that too. They can do it.

Only team that plays Philadelphia that came out in support of the play. It doesn't surprise me. It was Dan Campbell. Absolutely. Nafisa Cobbler. That's a good one. Hey, it is a football play. We all fell for it.

We all fell for this aesthetically pleasing debate when it's just teams trying to find an advantage because that team has one. They've been kicking our ass with it. We want to win the football games and take away the short yardage play. It's all they're doing. They probably, if they were successful at it, they'd be like, don't, don't take this play away. If they didn't have to worry about the Philadelphia Eagles, they'd be hell if I care, but they are trying to win football games

and taking that play away from them increases your probability of beating them. The issue isn't the tush push. Like, yes, it's an unstoppable play, but it's within the rules and that is the whole point of the game, to try to find the plays where your probability is so high that you can bank on it.

The issue is, can you stop them in first and second down, which they can't because the roster is so talented? Like the way that they've constructed the roster, that's why it's impossible, because now they bank their entire offense off of, hey, we just need nine yards. We just maybe even need eight yards. Skyler, dig in.

Chris Cody, you're eating Blizzard nonstop there and I believe that coming to you, that's good, just drop that on the floor there right before it's like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's exactly how to do the sponsor correctly. Yeah, yeah, put that right in your mouth. What's a sponsor?

Oh, Blizzard arenas. Blizzard arenas actually. No, not sponsored. No, not sponsored. But maybe a potential one, so you're on the clock. Sponsored by my favorite hockey team. So you're on your own on my favorite hockey team So you're just having so damn sorry I assumed

My bad celebrating my bad. I thought that was product placement. Why would I think that it's before 11 a.m It's a blizzard is aggressive. I would say our shank and do it. I'll do it. Okay, what you got in there But more shame didn't do it and there's definitely hair on a spoon. Yes, that was just Let's be honest about just happen. There's feet are right No, you guys won't pick up a foot drops on the floor for one second you guys I think it is no way my shoes weren't in public bathrooms and that spoon hit right where your shoes have been standing I like the worst five you all are the worst Get over it Chris people matter on your tongue as Greg Cody has told me a long time You gotta eat a peck of dirt before you die

So we heck is a lot more than it sounds It's like a big bag Sabrina I nasc to This peck sounds really small you would think a peck is like the size of like a coke can it's close to spec And that's why it's the brain. I'm actually shocked to learn that. Look it up, peck, huge sack. Yeah, he should just say you should eat a huge sack of dirt because that would hit a lot harder.

I will tell the people who are listening to this and not watching it, okay, because this argument, Chris Cody is disgusting a lot of different ways we learn it every day, okay, and right now he's lashing out at all of us, okay, and I understand why. He's surrounded and he's defensivehing out at all of us okay and I understand why he's surrounded and he's defensive and we're about to come after his hygiene which is repulsive and fairly I might add and so he's just like throwing smoke

everywhere smoke bombs so I'm going to tell the audience that might not have seen what happened there which is he had a blizzard in his hand and those are delightful they are delicious and as soon as I was going to him, visually the plastic spoon that he had fell on the floor at his feet with a sound I could hear. And at those feet, I will say, are, I'm gonna say, everyone who's walked through this studio for the last two years,

and I'm not sure how much they do cleaning around there. So there's two years of whatever. If there were one place in this entire establishment, I would not want something that I was putting in my mouth to fall. It would be the bathroom. If it had not been cleaned, but I think it gets cleaned an awful lot more than where that just fell. You picked it up, you immediately stuck that and whatever hair was on it right back in your blizzard. It's disgusting I won't be shamed on this like you guys none of you when you drop something on the floor briefly unless it's like dirty Like get over your guy you guys are all being ridiculous right here

Not a quick internet is looking at me right now and being like normal person You guys are gonna try to shame me if you pick up a spoon Yes, and then you put it back in your mouth. What a monster You think the internet is gonna be like, you know what Chris normal person everyone else weird It's just like what it's not even like you didn't try to wipe it off. Yeah, you didn't like maybe go on air guys I'm a showman. Yeah Kristen can I get no I mean we're on air. I got the blizzard here, I'm going back in. So this is show business. It's not, this isn't, so the cameras were off, the mics were off, you would've gone to the kitchen

and gotten a different spoon. But I am a five second rule guy. And like unless it's marked, unless I see a hair, like I'm not that scared. But carpet's different, dude. It's carpet. And it's a wet spoon. You'd already put the spoon in your mouth.

At least look at the spoon to be like, okay. I did, I can't, I can't. You're so like you. I'm gonna call in a booger or not. I glanced at it. You dumped it right into the blizzard. Look at the spoon to be like Dumped it right into the blizzard. I'm looking at the replay right now. You did not even glance at it Falls on the ground See the pickup before you even put it into the blizzard to get like a you put it you're just You spun it look I drop it I pick it up and then I Chris Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait. No! No! No, no, no, no. That's revolting.

I'm a showman. Chris, tell me, please. We're on air. You licked the dirt off. Chris. Before you put it in the blizzard, you licked the dirt off. What was the reason for putting it in your mouth?

There was no food on it. I'm eating a blizzard. There's only carpet on it at that point, bro. You're eating carpet. What, J.O.? I ate zero carpet. Like, there's no reason to put the spoon in your mouth at that point You see you're like, let me let me fully get my time

That's how Marsha did under oh, I'm doing my more shot No, but there's nothing on the spoon except carpet you literally clean the spoon with your mouth before you put it into the food Showman this is where Willow hangs out. You need a tamasht. Willow has laid in here a lot. Willow, Ethan's dog was here the other day, is roaming around. Taylor.

Why is Ethan's dog here? The bottoms of shoes. Ugh. Gross. In a place where there's a lot of construction. I will say that Chris Cody has done as foul a thing I have seen done around here I've done any kind now hold on a second hold on. I'm not done. I am NOT done

You are truly But and this is why I have a soft spot for you And I can't help but have a soft spot for you because what I just witnessed is truly appalling Okay, because I'm assuming without seeing it that fuzz and all manner of debris came with that No, no, okay. Listen, listen No, you didn't you didn't look you did not look you cannot put that any way up. I was like looking okay All right, listen, I can't gonna go I am Sam van Gundy because I don't think anyone's hearing me on this not looking or listening your defense I'm a showman

Is the single funniest thing you've ever said thank you I mean that's what I'm doing here I don't like let a little thing of dirt stop the show. It's, Hawk, you get this. You were with me before I thought. Hawk, you get this. There's like certain degrees, man. There is a little bit of nuance and context that matters, but again, spoon to the mouth for no apparent reason

after the dirt drop. Yeah. It's objectively wild. So Mike is doing an experiment right now. He just put a wet towel on the floor. He's gonna lift it up and we're gonna see. I'm telling you, the cleaning people come in here, like we're spending a lot of money on cleaning.

Like there's people all the time in here cleaning. So what is it? That the floor is clean or that you're a showman or the five second rule? You're giving me a lot of explanations here. I glanced, didn't see anything, so I'm like I'm a showman, don't care. Let's go.

I don't think the five second rule applies to things that aren't food Because there's no reason to put it back in your mouth at that point. You could clean it off Let me see this thing this thing not dirty at all. Look at it clean Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. I really scrubbed that against you off the floor. I know you're a showman.

No, Chris. Is the show still on? Don't do it. Don't do it, Chris. You know what? Go ahead and do it, showman. Do it during Buzz the Tower. Better not.

How do you refer to our DraftKings contract? Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't say we've changed. No, Chris. Chris. That's too close, Chris.

Yes I I well I was throwing up and then it became sort of I'd tages I threw up watching it on on a disgusting Billy no don't do this you think I'm afraid of this thing Guys to acknowledge that I will I won't do it if you don't want me to do it

My I want you guys to acknowledge that I will. I won't do it if you don't want me to do it. You won't. No. Mike, stop doing that, Mike. He said I won't. Why do you want to do disgusting things? I don't want to do it. No, don't go to him. His hand is shaking. Is there time left in this show, Hawk?

Oh yeah, there's time. Is the show on? Show is on. His hand is shaking. Don't be a show. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.

And I was like and I was like no me you were looking at him the whole time I mean there were no switcheroo's Mike scrubbed the floor with that. He might have stomped on it. Yeah so That's it Dan. Don't throw up. Please don't throw up Dan gets good throw up sound though. Yeah, Chris is gonna be spread. That's not just a sound
