Starting point is 00:00:00 This is the Dan LeBattor Show with the Stugats Podcast. Have you guys ever seen before a walk off in a baseball game? Unsatisfying. The game ending on catcher's interference. Have have you guys ever seen that happen before? Where a baseball game and I'm sure Kirch and others can go through the history of how often that has happened because baseball has a lot of history like that but I can't remember seeing that I saw that
Starting point is 00:00:35 the last time that happened was 1977 1977 okay so the last time the Dolphins won a playoff game was 1977, right? No? It was 2001? Okay, so 25. So 50 years. It hasn't happened in 50 years that there's been a walk-off. Are we allowed to show the walk-off catcher's interference? Is that something that we have the video rights to?
Starting point is 00:01:01 Because it's certainly not something that I have seen, and we will see if we can show it to you in a moment I will remind all of you that you can catch us daily 11 to 2 on the DraftKings network obviously you can catch us right now on YouTube live it was 1971 so six years earlier all right so let me see the video of that a game ending on just confusion it's terrible right when games of any kind and you've got a bunch of people in the stadium and everyone just knowing about them they have to go to an arbiter judge in somebody who's not actually playing is making a decision that everyone goes home it's hugely unsatisfying but let's see here you got the red sox and uh...
Starting point is 00:01:38 the fillies and there you go he's yelling at the catcher for interfering and think we get a little audio here layout yeah oh my goodness there was after view the call in the field is overturned there is catchers interference hell of a call right there. That's great. I can't imagine how excited Tim Kirch and was to see this. They probably made his year. 1971 is the last time that ends.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Can I see who came in from third there? The Phillies have a habit of having either Jason Wirth's or Bryce Harper's or a whole bunch of hairy people. I wouldn't want to see them in the wilderness. Like if this person ran at you, if this person ran at you next to the Lopez brothers, Robin Lopez and Brooke Lopez in the forest at night, wouldn't you be scared?
Starting point is 00:02:32 I saw this dude months ago, I was like, it can't be. Worth still can't be at it. No, it's not Jason Worth. That's like the last time I watched, by the way, I heard from exclusive reports out at Tahoe, Jason Worth joined the tournament one of the days from hole four. Can you look up for me whether or not Jason Worth,
Starting point is 00:02:55 his last contract was for how much? Jason, with the name Worth, did he get $150 million, $200 million, one of those giant deals? I don't care what you tell me, that is Jason Worth. That is coming in to score. That has to be. That is Brandon Marsh. No it's not, that's Jason Worth.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Seven year, 126 million. If you saw Marsh in a Marsh that hairy, you would be frightened, would you not? Like this is a person, this is too much, all of this. If I saw anyone in a march, I'd probably be frightened. Excellent point. Can you get me the sound, please, Roy, of something that you really, I don't think, want to hear a pilot say.
Starting point is 00:03:39 I don't think this is information that he needs to share. I don't know how you guys feel about the chatty pilot, what you want to hear from the pilot at all. Nope, I'll never understand it. The pilot, you have nothing to say to me. You have nothing to say to me the entire flight. What if he makes an aggressive right turn that you would never make in a normal plane
Starting point is 00:04:02 and all of a sudden you, I feel like then I would want some reassurance. Reassurance of what? You're still in the air. Why did you just make an abrupt right turn? Who cares why? If a plane made a turn that was like, where it got the whole place like,
Starting point is 00:04:13 whoa, we don't usually turn that quick. You'd just be like, oh, no problem. Yeah, what happens if he doesn't say anything to you? What happens? The whole place starts murmuring of like, whoa, why'd you do that? What do you think? I was on a plane that got struck by lightning
Starting point is 00:04:24 and everyone's like, did we just get struck by lightning? And then five minutes later, the pilot's like, whoa, why'd you do that? What do you think? I was on a plane that got struck by lightning and everyone's like, did we just get struck by lightning? And then five minutes later, the pilot's like, yeah. That was a long five minutes, I bet. We got struck by lightning. I was like, well, thank God. But now after the rehearsal, anytime I get a chatty pilot, I'm like, yes.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Cause if he's talking to me that much, he's talking to the copilot. Well, that's what happened here. There was an aggressive turn and then the pilot said this. Those of you on the right hand side, you probably saw the airplane kinda sorta coming at us.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Nobody told us about it, and so we continued, and air traffic, and there's no radar here, so the tower is controlled, or excuse me, the tower does everything visually, and so they said report about a six mile, six miles from the airport so we did that. I think he realized that the spacing wasn't going to work and he said turn right. I looked over and there's an airplane which those of you on the right-hand
Starting point is 00:05:16 side I thought it was a one small airplane like the one you see at the airport right now doing touch touching goes. Shut up! He said turn right, I said there's an airplane over there and he says turn left and then by the time we read back to clearance, looked over and saw the airplane that was kind of coming on a converging course with us. So given his speed it was a military, I don't know how fast they were going but they were a lot faster than us. I felt it was the same as they would do to turn behind us. So, sorry about the aggressive maneuvering. Coffee by surprise is not normal at all.
Starting point is 00:05:51 You feel better hearing from that rambling man? That was a little long-winded, but I do feel better after that. And there was an applause. After, like later in that, they start clapping. They're like, thank you. You feel better hearing the pilot tell you that air traffic control doesn't know what they're doing and that they don't have a
Starting point is 00:06:08 Radar where they are right now that made you feel better I think it's better than if I got nothing after an aggressive turn just get me to where I'm going One thing's abundantly clear. It is not that dude's fault It is his fault though that he made the decision to go on a microphone and tell everyone in rambling fashion I was told to make a right left, can't see anything, we don't have a radar, holy shit that military plane was moving much faster than I thought it was, none of that gave me confidence that we weren't going to end up in that same situation five minutes later.
Starting point is 00:06:37 He could have had a tight 10 or 15, like could have just been sorry about that, there was something there we were unaware of. After hearing from that guy, I'm asking off the flight while it's in the air Yeah, I got I got to get out More well, I don't know who you're impersonating there. I do love that even a moment like that. He's very calm You know he's just like I'm still talking like this. I don't even know something really traumatic just happened I'm so radar here, but everybody should be okay about that. Oh, thanks to update My heart rate's going a little faster than the way I'm talking right now, but everything's fine guys
Starting point is 00:07:11 He should have just kept going at that point You know we've had collisions in the air recently the FAA can be trusted less as well as other American Government systems that don't function the way that they used to what am I DB Cooper? that don't function the way that they used to. What am I, DB Cooper? No. DB Cooper over here. I don't want to make this political, but... Did you hear Darius Rucker left the country
Starting point is 00:07:31 because he hates America? I don't want to make this political, but holy shit, that military plane was moving fast. And as you know, there is a history of military aircraft around colliding, very recent. But I avoided that. And then they all clapped. They did. He kind of put them in a thing where it's like luckily
Starting point is 00:07:45 I did what I did and I'm fine now. I would have booed I'd boo Hey, shut up You're driving the plane No radar good less talking more focus Dry you just shut up, you knew what I meant. Well, but I just, I've never heard someone say drive the plane, like I've heard the confusion drive a boat, because people don't know
Starting point is 00:08:12 the verb to use on boat, but I've never heard drive the plane. What do you use on boat? Captain. No, please, shut up Mickey. Thank you. When you drive things, all right? If it's got a, it's got a, the plane got a steering wheel?
Starting point is 00:08:27 If you're on a bicycle, are you driving? Can you turn? You're driving. Does the plane have a steering wheel? A thing you turn, I don't know if it's a wheel, it's like that weird like U-shaped thing. I feel like you drive a bike more than you drive a car. You ride a bike. Yeah, I know, I know you ride one, but you're doing the work.
Starting point is 00:08:44 The bike is not doing the work of getting you point a to point B So I feel like riding is not actually accurate of what you're doing with a bike. You're powering a bike. That's your truth How do you drive a sub? Do you also captain a sub I mean you've seen crimson tide right you've seen down periscope they have wheels there But it's not like you you look out the windshield. Subzone have windshields. They got that little binocular. How do you know where you're going? What is the verb? What is the verb you use on submarine? What is the verb on what it is that... And I'm not sure, by the way, I use captain of ship. I'm not even sure that's right. Like, I don't... Is it right? Like, what is the verb
Starting point is 00:09:22 that you use with maneuvering around the ship? And Billy, I think you've just brought up a point that I've never heard before. I think you're absolutely right, that you drive a bicycle and you ride a car. I mean, you push the pedal on the car, but you're doing all of the work on a bicycle. So you're not really riding it. You're putting in the effort here.
Starting point is 00:09:43 What is Chris ah-hahing about? I don't know. You guys are kind of accepting that there's some confusion here where we're driving something. No, not on a plane though. There's no confusion on what I'm doing with a plane. The flying part is going up in the air.
Starting point is 00:09:56 That's the flying part. The steering, that's driving the plane. I don't know who hears that pilot, that rambling man, and then claps after that. I've got a handful of questions here. Put this on the poll at LeBittard Show. Does a airplane have a steering wheel? Because that's not what I think of.
Starting point is 00:10:16 I don't know what it's called, but I just don't think of a plane having a steering wheel. Apparently you pilot a sub, the same way you pilot a blimp. However, drive is commonly invoked. Steering wheel apparently you pilot a sub the same way you pilot a blimp. However driving is commonly invoked But this is also chat GPT when I asked it you drive a Submarine it responded. No, I'm chat GPT. I don't drive a sub and I'm like, no you idiot
Starting point is 00:10:40 And I would never call it an idiot to its face though. I pilot a blimp I think that's what they that's what its face though. I pilot a blimp, I think. That's what they, that's what he just said. That you pilot a blimp, but I don't pilot, you should pilot a plane too, right? Like, but you don't drive a plane, Chris. Right, but you said fly and it's pilot. You fly a plane. You just up into the air.
Starting point is 00:10:57 You fly a kite. But the steering part, that's piloting. Sorry to think Zazz is right about this Backstreet Boys situation.

Starting point is 00:12:13 Stugatz! That joke didn't really land the way you wanted it to, did it? And we all just stared at you. This is the Don LeBataard Show with the Stugarts. At LeBertard show on all of the polls, also put this on the poll. Have you ever applauded on an airplane? Because I do think there are two kinds of people in the world, people who applaud in an airplane and people who don't, and they don't like each other. They don't, those kinds of people don't get along.
Starting point is 00:12:56 If you find out your pilot just avoided a B-52. All right, that's, thank you. All right, get me that sound again, and I'm gonna play it for Ron McGill here. Ron McGill, our most popular guest, not named Tim Kirkschen, I don't know why I always rank them, they're about equal, but some years, Ron McGill's ahead,
Starting point is 00:13:13 some years, Tim Kirkschen's ahead. Ron, how do you feel, you're a very nice man, a very decent man, if you're flying on an airplane and you hear this after an abrupt right turn because the pilot is driving an airplane and makes an abrupt right turn. Tell me what your reaction is to hearing this. So as you on the right hand side, you probably saw the airplane kind of sort of coming at us.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Nobody told us about it. And so we continued and air traffic and there's no radar here. So there the tower is controlled or excuse me the tower it does everything visually and so they said report about a six mile six miles from the airport so we did that I think he realized that the spacing wasn't going to work and he said turn right and I looked over and there's an airplane which those of you on the right-hand side I thought it was a one small airplane like the one you see at the airport right now doing
Starting point is 00:14:09 touching goes and he said turn right I said there's an airplane over there and he says turn left and that by the time we read back to clearance looked over and saw the airplane that was kind of coming on a converging course with us and so given his his speed, it was a military, I don't know how fast they were going, but they were a lot faster than us. I felt it was a sin to seem to do the turn behind us. So sorry about the aggressive maneuver. It caught me by surprise. This is not normal at all. Pete Ron, what would you want your pilot doing immediately after an abrupt right? Ron I'd want him to get me to the ground because I don't feel it's that safe to fly anymore. What the hell's going on there? I mean that's that's very
Starting point is 00:14:48 unsettling to hear that. But having said that I mean I appreciate the explanation. I think it was a little long-winded. I think yeah I'm not I'm not very happy being in that plane. Would you prefer an explanation or no explanation? Would you prefer that explanation or no explanation? Would you prefer that explanation or no explanation? Just silence. After the abrupt right. No, I prefer some explanation. I don't want to go silent.
Starting point is 00:15:11 I don't want silence. I prefer, but I don't need that kind of detail like, there's a B-52 plane coming at me and we had to avoid the plane because he didn't see us and there's no radar up here and nobody knows and nobody let us know what was happening. I don't need all that information because that's not making me feel very secure in the plane. I would just say, listen, we came across an unexpected occurrence and that right was just to make our flight safer.
Starting point is 00:15:33 That's all I need to hear. That's it. That's all that needs to be said. I don't need to hear from a rambling man who is telling me that I am flying in the blind with no radar. I agree. I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:15:43 At the end, he also, it's not not normal. And I didn't know if that means it is normal or if he was stuttering when he said not. It was very confusing. There were a number of things in there that really made me question basically all of his competence including not being able to explain what was happening with the tower.
Starting point is 00:15:59 He's not a public speaker. And he totally destroyed my confidence. He totally destroyed my confidence to fly. I would never think I would never want to hear a pilot tell me oh there's no radar up here so we were kind of flying blind that Chris Cody just so you know he was literally speak literally speaking into a public speaker that's what he was doing and he was doing so very poorly and horrifying the people who were flying who if they were nervous were not soothed, everything became worse after that. Let's play some videos here from the animal kingdom for Ron McGill as we do every week
Starting point is 00:16:34 around here. And I will remind you that the audience here is the single greatest contributor to Zoo Miami's substantive endowment. I should say Ron McGill's substantive endowment as part of the work that he does beyond Zoo Miami. And so if you want to help Ron McGill and all the help that he gives the animals without any bureaucracy, any people in the way, you can find very easily
Starting point is 00:16:57 Ron McGill's substantive endowment on the internet. You remain the greatest contributor to this that there has ever been. Let's play the first video here of a sea turtle and I want you to explain to me what this sea turtle is doing here, Ron. I don't know what it's doing. Perhaps you can explain to us as bubbles emerge
Starting point is 00:17:16 from its mouth what the sea turtle is doing. It's relaxing, it's resting. It's common, they just release small amounts of air as it's resting to help Not just with buoyancy, but it's just it's just relaxing It's just releasing air that had accumulated, you know when I went down to die But that's a very common thing with a sea turtle kind of I don't want to say sleeping because they have to breathe air So he's gonna go back up to get air eventually
Starting point is 00:17:39 But it's just the slow release of air in his lungs while he's relaxing at the ocean floor there You're just you know, you don't ever just relax when you can't breathe? I do it all the time. Sea turtles have a different respiratory system than we do, Chris, and they're able to stay underwater for a significantly longer amount of time because that's where they live. Give us the best fact you can about the sea turtle, your favorite sea turtle fact. The fact is that a sea turtle can hatch out on a beach, swim out of that beach, and for the next 20 to 30 years swim literally around the world.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Okay? And when it becomes sexually mature, that sea turtle will go back to the same beach that it hatched out 20 to 30 years ago to lay its own eggs. That is pretty unbelievable to think about that. Think about it, if you were born, Dan, let's say you were born at a hospital down here at Jackson Memorial Hospital, and 30 years later you live all over in India
Starting point is 00:18:37 and Africa or whatever, you say, you know what? Well, assuming you're a female, you're gonna have a baby, I'm gonna go have a baby back, but never having been there, except for the time you were born and left and know how to get back there. First of all, how would you know how to get back there without, you know, any kind of navigation equipment anyway?
Starting point is 00:18:51 These turtles can find the same beach, the same beach they hatched out of. 20 to 30 years later, having never been there within those 20 to 30 years just to go back and lay there. There's got to be like one percent, though, that's just like, I got where do I make that left turn? And like asking for. Chris, I'm sure there is a very tiny percentage that is not able to do that,
Starting point is 00:19:10 but the fact of the matter is the normal, the normal sea turtle can do that. The navigation is unbelievable to think about. If you can only choose one, and I'm gonna make you choose one, the sea turtle is smart or not smart? Smart. Because that's not intelligence what you're describing right that's not intelligence that's
Starting point is 00:19:27 instinct yes you're correct and so you think it's brain you've told us before for example the owl is not smart and it's right it there's not a brain in there what well there's a brain in there Dan don't take it to an extreme there's a brain in there but it's not a problem-solving brain okay it's a survival brain but it's not smart were you reactingving brain, okay? It's a survival brain. But it's not smart. Were you reacting to it, Mike, saying it didn't have a brain? I was reacting to the idea of if you opened up an owl's head, there's no brain. Okay, but it's not smart. That's exactly what Dan said.
Starting point is 00:19:53 That's exactly what Dan said. It is what I said. Okay, but I think most people are surprised that the owl is not smart. The owl has a reputation for being wise. I don't think- Absolutely. It's one of those big misconceptions of nature, you know? It started with wise potato chips.
Starting point is 00:20:04 What's their logo the owl? But but the sea turtle if I had to think I would think it has a small brain and then it doesn't do very much It doesn't have a large brain, but I wouldn't say it has a necessarily small brain now crocodiles crocodilians They have a small brain for their size, but sea turtles can recognize things they can you know, they can But sea turtles can recognize things. They can decipher different situations. And I think they're relatively smart animal when it comes to the world of reptiles. What animal has the biggest useless brain?
Starting point is 00:20:33 Like a giant brain that really isn't very smart. I don't think there is such a thing, Billy. I think there's animals that have giant brains that we don't know how they're able to utilize them, but they do utilize them in certain ways. You know, right away comes to mind something like the dolphin. A lot of the cetaceans, the whales, they have massive brains and we just don't know the language that they speak, but they know the language they speak.
Starting point is 00:20:54 They know they're able to navigate their way through the seas, through the world. They're able to, you know, to do different things that, to detect different things that we're not able to detect. And we know they have that massive brain. We don't know exactly how they use it, but we know they're able to use it. Ron, you mentioned dolphins a couple of weeks ago as walking along Biscayne Bay,
Starting point is 00:21:11 and I saw a dolphin that seemed to be putting on a show kind of for passersby. And this dolphin kept jumping out of the water. And then when it came back a second or third time, it seemed to be playing with a fish. We thought that it was trying to eat the fish, but then we quickly realized the fish was alive. It would grab the fish, it would hop up,
Starting point is 00:21:31 toss the fish, go down, grab the fish, come back up, then toss the fish again. Was it playing, was it hunting? How traumatized was this fish? What was going on? You also thought the fish might be too big, right? That it couldn't actually do anything with the size of the fish.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Yeah, well, listen, there's no question it was probably playing. There's no question that the fish was traumatized, but that's nature. Dolphins are incredibly intelligent, and I wouldn't be surprised that that dolphin was doing this close to shore just to put on a show as well.
Starting point is 00:21:58 I think dolphins are aware sometimes when they have an audience, so to speak. We have dolphins that often will follow boats, fishing boats. They'll navigate right next to them, put on all kinds of, you know, jumps and twirls and turns and all kinds of neat stuff. Dolphins definitely enjoy themselves. They play like many animals. They do know how to play.
Starting point is 00:22:18 They do enjoy playing. Is there any animal that enjoys playing above all other animals? Like, is there a number one ranked player in the animal kingdom? I'd say there's a number one ranked player, you know. I mean, I guess the more intelligent the animal, the more playful it tends to be. And of course that goes everywhere from the cetaceans to the primates to great apes. But you know, elephants, God, we see elephants play tremendously in all kinds of situations. So all these animals do have the best.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Bears, bears will play quite a bit also when they're socializing. Roy, are you shaking your head because any stray sound that isn't a perfect sound is to your career a blasphemous indictment of doing anything well? That's when my emails come in guys, I'm sorry. You are right, Ron. That is your email sound. That's your computer sound. I'm sorry, Roy. I can't control. I'm not technologically savvy to turn that stuff off. It just keep coming in, I'm sorry. Ron, why can't animals organize sports leagues and have like teams that they watch play?
Starting point is 00:23:13 If they like playing so much, why can't they have professional animal sports leagues or really sports that they invent on their own? I think they do play sometimes in team ways. I've seen you know troops of chimpanzees gather together and have different teams. I've seen things with like you know meerkats getting little kind of clicks within their mobs. So you know their team sport may not be the same as our team sport. I don't think
Starting point is 00:23:39 they have like you know gambling or anything. Well they don't have jerseys or anything like that. Like so you never know if they're playing a sport, or if they're just walking around handling their, you know, business. Well, maybe they are keen enough to decipher one another without the need of a jersey. Just their sight smell is so distinctive and they're keen, their senses are so keen that they don't need that
Starting point is 00:24:00 because their senses tell them who's on what team. Whereas we need that because our senses have been dulled over so many years of just pouring ourselves with colognes and perfumes and soaps and all that other stuff to disguise what we really smell like. Dan, would you like to apologize to Roy? I wasn't questioning Roy.
Starting point is 00:24:15 I was asking if Roy was upset because that sound was upsetting to him. It's awfully convenient. That sounded like you were blaming Roy. Did it? Yeah, two words that are very powerful today. I'm sorry Wait a minute though. I didn't know that that's wrong. It's always been wrong. Just say I'm sorry again. Sorry look at that See Ron could do it Roy stop doing that. I'm sorry Dan
Starting point is 00:24:36 Let's play another video for Ron here of a pelican you tell me Ron what this pelican is doing I don't understand what this Pelican is doing. Thermo-regulating. What? Thermo-regulating. It's kind of cooling off or heating up, depending on what the situation is. You see that skin all around the bill there?
Starting point is 00:24:55 That releases and takes in heat. It's like when crocodilians, you'll see alligators open their mouth and keep their mouth open, crocodiles do the same thing. They're thermo-regulating. They're trying to, birds don't perspire, so they have to release heat in other ways, and that's one way the pelicans can do it. It's like a dog chanting for that matter. Pete Put it on the poll, please, Juju. At Levitard Show, is thermoregulating a word?
Starting point is 00:25:18 Because Zaslow is saying that it is not a word. Juju 100% no. Pete Wow. Pete He's saying that that is not one word. Is it two words? Is it hyphenated? Is it? I don't think he's saying it. It could be hyphenated, but it is a word. It is a term that is commonly used in science. That's your truth. Ron McGill joins us every week with his truth. We are grateful for all of his work in the animal kingdom. Let's play a third video for him. Also put on the poll, by the way, did that pelican look like Rob Ryan at LeBotard's show? I have another video for you here of a lioness.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Oh yeah, there you go. There you go. That tells you who wears the pants in that family. The male gets beat up by the woman. The male lion is... There you go. Yeah. You know what happened there? That male was looking for some nookie and she wasn't about to give it up. And I tell people all the time, females run the show when it comes to sex in the animal kingdom.
Starting point is 00:26:16 You may think that male's strong, you may think he's a powerful one, but at the end of the day, she runs that show and she's letting him know not now and no means no in the animal kingdom. That lion is scared. Of course he's scared. You don't... Zazzle, are you married? Do you have a significant other? What's your deal? Yeah. You ever had that significant other really really get mad? Yeah, but like I wasn't scared.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Yeah, you were. If you weren't, you need to be. I was scared the first time I saw my wife. There you go. Yeah, I didn't want to do that again. Well, there you go. I get scared. I know when she's really angry, I'm scared. I just didn't recognize it. Was it the cupcake that Jessica stole? How'd you know?
Starting point is 00:26:56 Lion's not cheap. Ron, good seeing you. Thank you. It's always nice seeing you. Ron McGill, our second most popular guest ever behind Tim Kirch and after this appearance, that's for this week. I don't know if next week it'll change at all, but we always appreciate Ron's efforts around here.
Starting point is 00:27:16 I think he's been on close to 20 years. I don't think he was on the very first year, but pretty close to the first year. And we don't run out of questions. And while we repeat some of the questions and we don't run out of questions and while we repeat some of the questions we don't run out of questions the curiosity is something that never ends the knowledge is something that appears to never end. Don Lebatard.
Starting point is 00:27:35 I've never stepped foot on that campus. If you told me right now your life depends on it, go to Santa Fe University and just just just take a picture. Stugats. I would die I don't know where it is. This is the Don Lebat take a picture. Stugats. I would die, I don't know where it is. This is the Don LeVatar Show with the Stugats. ["The Stugats Show Theme"] We were speaking though of significant others and Chris Cody came in here today
Starting point is 00:28:02 and he had an opinion that I think would be the opposite of the opinion if we threw it to the audience and asked the primarily male audience in our group to have the same opinion as Chris Cody. Chris Cody said upon arrival here that Vegas with the wife is better than Vegas with the boys. After returning from Vegas and the boys in this case were the Backstreet Boys and he was there with his wife and he came in, Billy what are you making faces for? Sounds like he stepped in and the wife was listening
Starting point is 00:28:38 to what he was gonna talk about. So that's the story that we came on air and told. Nonsense. It's just not believable. I've got another angle here Well, let's let's let him make the claim first because I was look I was surprised to hear him say that he had come back from they let's put it on the pole, please What what's better Vegas with your significant other or I'm not gonna make it just for men Vegas with your significant other or
Starting point is 00:29:04 French trip with your pals Vegas with your significant other or- Friends trip. With your pals. Vegas with your pals or with- Very inclusive of you. You've earned points. Thanks. Slowly climbing yourself out of that July 4th nonsense. I-
Starting point is 00:29:15 This is not, not, not an echo chamber. I'm just gonna paint a broad brush of what Vegas looked like for me with the guys trip. Casino, sports book, a steakhouse that I end up having to go to the bathroom for way too much. Yeah, that's what we do. And no sleep. Man, that sounds awesome.
Starting point is 00:29:35 It sounds so good. That's okay, and it was. And I've done that multiple times. Little bit of drugs. Well, whatever. Whatever you like. And this trip, it was a nice, two nice shows, some good food, enough sleep.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Just like, I know, of course, I worked in some Cuervo and sodas. Don't get me wrong, like I had a nice time. I was indulging, but it was just, I got like six, seven hours every night. I woke up with like, what are we gonna do today want to go to the pool party like I woke up refreshed I love you so much. I'm having a great honestly. I got to see my wife was so happy at the Backstreet Boys concert We ate great food best friend. You've been the best friend. I'm so happy Park MGM delicious food. That's great
Starting point is 00:30:18 It's just it's just I had fun. I left the trip. I wasn't tired. I was just like you look good This was a nice trip. You look great. I want to do Vegas because I was kind of over I was like I have reached the trip. I wasn't tired. I was just like, this was a nice trip. I wanna do Vegas, cause I was kind of over. I was like, I have reached the point where I'm like, I'm done with the botchress. You, of course you're done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:34 And I'm telling you, I shocked myself with how much I enjoyed just being there with my wife. Do you think that if we were to pose the same question to her, which would you prefer, a girl's trip or a trip to Vegas with Christopher, she would say with you? I mean, I think I did pretty well this weekend. That's great, that's how I'm so happy for you.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Yeah, Billy, I think she'd choose me. You got an eye towards football season, don't you? I do. Plant the seeds now. Buy, buy, buy all that. I honestly, I know you guys think I'm doing a thing. No jazz hands here. Billy, but did you make the accusations?
Starting point is 00:31:08 Did you make the- I made no accusations. No, whatever your theory was, did you file whatever your theory was on why it is that Chris is saying this? You don't believe, you don't believe. No, it's his truth, it's his truth. Okay, so you don't have a theory.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Is that currying favor with a loved one before football season takes some away? Or he did something bad, so he's now- I'm just kind of done with the stumbling back to my hotel at 5.30 and I gotta be up at nine. You're done with awesome nights, huh? I'll make you a bet, you're not done with it. He's not done with it at all.
Starting point is 00:31:34 I didn't do it on this trip and I was like, this is nice. You're telling me the next guy's trip you go on to Vegas, it's gonna be like 1 a.m. drinks, bottles are poppin', maybe you're in the adult gentleman's club, and you're thinking, you know, bottles are popping, maybe you're in the, you know, the adult gentleman's club, and you're thinking, you know what would be better? I was just here with my wife. No way! There is like this new thing, I find it a lot with my South American friends, that the FaceTime while you're just eating, so the, this happened, I was at a hibachi place, and that was a nice gentleman, two from Spain,
Starting point is 00:32:05 one from Venezuela, and he was just WhatsApp FaceTiming his wife the entire time, and they weren't really saying much, she was just watching the man eat to make sure he wasn't doing anything he wasn't supposed to. He's cheated on her for sure. There's something going on. But there is like- There's a lack of trust there that comes from somewhere.
Starting point is 00:32:23 This is a thing. I've seen, I'm on this algo now where people are like in the club, having bottle service and there's just like a FaceTime phone like popped up and like this guy's in hell. Get control of your house. Just get divorced. Like if that's your life, you're not living.
Starting point is 00:32:37 Just get divorced. Zazz, I've been very pro premature, early signs. Just get divorced. Why are you gonna drag it out? This is clearly not a relationship that's gonna last it's not working out. Just do it I told my wife a long time ago if we ever get to a place where you want to do this couples counseling and I'm gonna do it For it, but you that's good and healthy let her know I'm not gonna make any effort to save this man date off. Yes
Starting point is 00:33:02 But if you do want help better help save this marriage. Just pull the bandaid off. Yes. But if you do want help, better help. Oh, great. Yeah, yeah. Zaslo. Code Dan. Zaslo's confidence has skyrocketed, but I-
Starting point is 00:33:12 DLB, sorry. I remember that, I remember how wounded and broken Zaslo was at one point in it. We broke up? It's been about two months. That was, that's hilarious oh my god you just took me back man when he was broken up hard times bad two months no no this is this is something like I don't know about this you couldn't
Starting point is 00:33:39 escape it at the station because it was so bad. It was so heartbroken and emo. Over like a sports team? No, no, no, no. Like a real relationship. No, no, no. They broke up. Oh, my wife. They broke up for two months and his life was hell.
Starting point is 00:33:54 I cursed out Joe Rose one morning too. What? Yeah. The big dog. And all he did was, how the lady's treating you. He didn't mean it. And it was just. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:34:04 It wasn't even that. Joe Rose was definitely doing that all throughout the breakup. And then there's one day where it's like, he's talking about it on the air again, and I'm in the bullpen, and the show's over, and he comes by, and he's probably got a big smile on his face, and he sees me there, and I got the puss on my face. And he's like, you know, you didn't get over this already. And then like, oh my God, I went crazy. I was cursing him out. I was so angry. I have a number of questions here. For those of you who do not know who the big dog Joe
Starting point is 00:34:36 Rose is, this is who the big dog Joe Rose is. Mmm. Ah, that's good. Big juicy cheeseburgers or Philly chicken. Mmm. Ah, that's good. Big juicy cheeseburgers or Philly chicken. Mmm, that's good. Onions. Mmm. Mushrooms.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Mmm. It's good. Excuse me, can I have a side order of, mmm, can I get some blue cheese with it? I like to dip my thick. Mmm. It's in that blue cheese they have there. Mmm.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Mmm. Mmm. Hey, oh, you want some pasta and seafood dishes with fresh fish? Thick. Mm. And that blue cheese they have there. Mm. Mm. Mm. Hey, oh, you want some pasta and seafood dishes with fresh fish? Mm. Mm. It's good. So good.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Sss. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There is nothing like a thick. Mm. Sss. That's not edited, by the way.
Starting point is 00:35:20 That's just the raw file. And I want you guys to fully absorb how much of a caveman you have to be when the person you just heard said, the person you just, not that person, the person next to me that you just heard say, I've told my wife already, if do couples counseling just end me and end the relationship For that person to be yelled at by someone more primitive than him You just need to get over it like that is the beginning of the evolutionary chart. I have no Stronger memory in my brain of a friend going through a breakup, then the dude that just said,
Starting point is 00:36:05 hey, we got a couple of syrup, it's over. A lot of tough talk. I'd say you're pretty close, because about the same time, you with your wife, I remember that. About the same time you were with that. I remember that. When I broke up.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Yep, I remember that. I just bailed on moderanos one time, that's all I did. Please, why don't you go around the grove, ask around. When I think, when I think. Joe Rose, I always had a great time when he asked me how the ladies were treating me. Are we exploring breakups here? Let's go around the room.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Well, just the cursing out, though, the idea of. I was so mad. Me and Spoh, at Green Street, all the time. I couldn't take it anymore. What'd you do, Why'd she end it? Me? Yeah. I mean, I was a child.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Like, you know, I was a- You still are. I was a child. You still are in some ways. The idea that Zaslow would boldly with his chest out, and this is just the new confidence talking, I feel like, when I just remember, I've rarely had a friend more despondent,
Starting point is 00:37:09 and it was a brief period of time. Like, I recall Zaslow being fundamentally broken. And he didn't hide it at work. At all. No, it was fodder. But for Zaslow- You go to the bullpen area, like, what's the latest? But I want you guys, the shipping container,
Starting point is 00:37:25 you guys to give the perspective on how bad a spot Zazz has to be in to dare to curse out Joe Rose, to even dare to do that, given how young, given that Joe Rose is a monster in this market. And at the time, Zazz is just coming up. And Joe Rose literally got me that job. I'm there in the store. I kept my job because of me.
Starting point is 00:37:51 But Joe Rose got me the job. Did he respect you afterwards, like prison rules? Maybe. Nobody does that to Joe Rose. I don't remember him being cursed out by anybody. Lenny, Eric, Ch Eric Chippy Scotty or Mike There is nothing like a thick
