You're listening to Giraffe Kings Network. This is the Dan Levator Show with the Stugatz Podcast. It is time for Stugatz to share his game notes. No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boys do. Weekend observations brought to you by Miller Lite. 96 calories available for delivery. Dan, they came into the season with massive title expectations because they have some of the best players to ever play in the league. They had some bad losses early, but nobody is playing better than they are right now. They prove

they can win at home and in their latest game they proved they can win on the road and Dan just like that make no mistake about it the Edmonton Oilers are back. Oh man. Wait, well. Dan Campbell. Kneecaps are on the menu. And he always has room for seconds. Dan Campbell looks like he has two primary food groups. Meat and kneecaps. Put it on the pole, Juju. Are Dan Campbell's primary food groups, meat and kneecaps.

Are they the same thing? I don't know. Maybe it's one food group. Okay, I guess the cap is a bone. Yeah. Okay, never mind. It's actually a cartilage. Like chicken thighs versus chicken breasts, you know?

It's part of a chicken, but they're different. Zagaki. Stefan Diggs. How about you spend less time crying when the ball doesn't come your way? You know it's part of a chicken, but they're different Zagaki Stefan digs How about you spend less time crying when the ball doesn't come your way and more time catching it when it does come your way? How's that sound? Dan you know what the bee and Bill Belichick stands for I do not it stands for Buffalo Dan You know what the bee and Belichick stands for not it stands for bills He's got the initials. It's happening. He doesn't have to change the monegram towels. Yeah, I

Can't wait for this to happen The really late intentional grounding flag is the coolest thing referees do the zebras just the dropping of the we discussed this the dropping of the flag with force and confidence is the coolest thing they do it is that can't be right I mean name another cool thing they do name one I dare you I think the bobbling when it's a fourth an inches and they know they're like and that's why those guys are in the gym When they're the reason some of those guys are so muscled is so that they could do that first down when they got it by a

Chain lot of flex to try something to that first down Jim Harbaugh sitting in regular seats and not as sweet at the Ravens game is Maximum Jim Harbaugh So great. How does Jason Kelsey steal the sweet from Taylor Swift? How does that happen? Took his shirt off and got hammered alcohol He he said somebody interviewed him one time and he said he had 20 beers and they asked now how drunk he was 1 to 10 He's like about a five and they asked how drunk he was, one to ten, and he's like about a five.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Mina Kimes, doing a victory lap, quote tweeting, her take that the Chiefs would be in the AFC Championship game. Mina, the Stugatz is strong in you. Dan, this might be reckless, but I'd find it nearly impossible to believe that Nick Bosa isn't on steroids. Whoa. What I said it might be reckless

And I mean it is and I said nearly impossible to believe We don't care about that anymore, right? Yeah, we stop caring Tyler Bass meet Scott Norwood Scott Norwood meet Tyler Bass Meet Scott Norwood. Scott Norwood. Meet Tyler Bass. Dan, you know what the end in Nick Bosa stands for? I do not. It stands for nearly impossible to believe

Nick Bosa isn't on steroids. I don't think. It's reckless. I said it might be reckless. I said that it might be reckless. Bad weekend to be a kicker. Brock Purdy, do it in the NFC Championship game. Kyle Shanahan, you too.

Pascal Siakum is a pacer. That's right, that happened last week. Spicy pay. Good little team. The Chiefs lost to Aiden O'Connell less than a month ago. At home. I know. To the people running this company, plastering signs all over Las Vegas about our live shows.

Whether it's on the side of a building or on the side of a slot machine, the name of the show is the Dan Lebedard show with Stugatz. Is the Dan LeBertard show with Stugatz? Thanks Dan I may or may not be speaking to you. I'm way to my I honestly have no clue wait a minute That's not I know I'm not speaking to you. It's not fair. I'm just a joke Mike Ryan saw the email I said this weekend. I'm like this is a digital sign Someone needs to fix it if you want to know why still got slashes out on a Friday This is why it happened. It was a joke Mike Ryan. I'll tell you I kid. I noticed and sent an email What happened Friday? I

Don't know you didn't want to come into work doesn't get left out by the way No, I came in to work. You didn't want to come into work for an hour But you didn't want to come into work You told us you were taking a personal day because your name wasn't on a sign You didn't say that but I figured it out You didn't say it, but I figured it out on my own. I know you I've watched you for many years Josh Allen blah blah blah You read between the lines Michael tell you Sean McDermott blah blah blah. When you need one first down to end the game. Isaiah Pacheco is the running back you want with the ball. How about how

about we won our three team three leg parlay with Pacheco 15 carries it was over 14 and a half we won it on that carry. That's pretty good. He's the guy you want Thursday Thunder. Mm-hmm Baker Mayfield has one pitch the fastball the high Ched Mike Evans the rare Hall of Fame wide receiver with no hands Put it on the pole, please juju is Mike Evans the rare wall of fame wide receiver who is handsless top five nicknames for a fastball. Number four. Heater. I love a good heater after a good hammer. My boy.

That is disgusting. What happened? That is disgusting. I don't know how to make me laugh. It's a funny way to put that. It is a disgusting visual. Disgusting. He means blowjob, right?

Like some dude in the 70s just got a hummer. What is that? Yeah, it's my little name for it. Number three, Cheddar. And then the drink cart came by. You also love Cheddar. You ever sit back, Dan, and wonder why did I figure it out? The golden age of sports old spirit number two

Yes, I love gas. It's amazing. It's an amazing list of just things and things to God's love number one the old number one I was running out of I was happy I found five you should have put old number one five Run out of gas at number one miss a couple good ones BBs all BB and aspirins. Oh wow Cleveland calves keep an eye on them Play them well the best Calcy in the Chiefs Bills game was Jason Stat of the Year Bill O'Brien Spent a total of eight years coaching for either Bill Belichick or Nick Sabin, and doesn't have a single national championship

or a single Super Bowl. I think that, I think, It's impossible. I think Wes Welker might be in there too. Like, Wes Welker caught like, ridiculous number of passes from Brady and never won a Super Bowl with him. It took Ron DeSantis a minute,

but he finally realized that his type of disgusting is only acceptable in the state of Florida. Or as a vice presidential running mate that should terrify you. The D and Ron DeSantis stands for dropped out. The D and DeSantis stands for doing against Trump. You know where the buck stops Dan? In Detroit. Wow, you got it. That's where it stops. This Australian Open is keeping me up all night. Doesn't end. Patrick Mahomes, doing in Baltimore. Josh Allen, 0 and 3 versus the Bills in the playoffs,

three and 0 in the regular season versus the Chiefs. I'm sorry, versus the Chiefs. That's a fine. No, but he well, he's three and 0 against the Bills. It all sorry versus the Chiefs. That's a fine. No, but he well he's three and oh against the bills. It all equals do it in the playoffs Dan. He's through it three and oh against the bills. Oh and three against the Chiefs. Regular season postseason is right. Well, I'm sorry. No, he never mind. Since Dan Brooklyn and the Nets were a good basketball team, they've gone 4-19. Two of their four wins came against the Pistons. Mike Ryan, don't you laugh. As soon as you said the heat were good, they've lost all their games.

We're sending the apology. Todd Balls, the rare coach who always looks like he's smiling, even in defeats. Does he? Yeah, when that fourth when that fourth that fourth down decision early in the game when it was a fourth and one and the announcers are even like this is the type of football that doubles wants to play which is cowardly. And he was smiling. I was like, God damn, they're gonna lose.

Jamal Dean dropping an easy interception. Tony. Dad's everywhere reminding people that's everywhere, reminding people. That's why he plays defense. My man.

What a Vyberpitch, man.

A Vyberpitch! That is so cheesy! I pictured on the radio like he's yelling into a microphone surrounded by Vipers. Syracuse makes every shot. It's like Indiana Jones when he gets dropped in the face. That's correct. I'm in a Vyberpitch! Chill, my guy, there's a curtain right there.

Brought to you by William C. Cadillac. Ford Field. Williamson is Miami. Electric. The A in Aidan Hutchinson stands for annoying. The last time the Lions made the NFC championship game, Michael Jordan only had one ring. Jared Goff or Brock Purdy versus Lamar Jackson

Bud Black. Chad OJ. Julian Tavares. Paul Azenmacher Alan Embry and what's going on with your ears? What's going on with how it is that you're inspecting and cleaning and just sort of discovering what's going on with your ears? There's a totally normal question asked open a segment. I, ever since our white elephant game over here of mystery guests and all that, mystery gifts,

I at one point was in possession of one of these whoosh cleaners that are for the years. Yep. And I kind of need one, because my hearing's gotten progressively worse working 20 years in audio. It's a lot of wear and tear. So I thought maybe put my ears in the best position, make sure that they're really clean, and that's an important data point as I try to figure out what's going on with my ears.

And I lost it in the white elephant game, but ever since then, I've been targeted for ads for ear things. It's almost as if it knew it was in my possession for a second. Now it's trying desperately to get me to pay for a whoosh cleaner. While I was on that algo, I was introduced to something called the earify. Now the earify has very satisfying videos on the internet that makes you think that this is a life changing invention. Basically, it's a cute tip with a camera and a scooper at the end of it. And you can go into your ears and you

could see all the earwax in your ears. And this is a view you've never had before because you're looking at it on your phone. Earwax looks huge. You're scraping it out. And voila, you get to hear so much better. That's all the testimonials. My hearing is so much better. So seeing the satisfying clips, I bought an earify.

And then I was very excited to open the earify, get it connected to my phone. It worked. So the targeting, the fact that your devices are listening to you and they know what you want and what you're talking about. I need this. I need this in my ear.

I need to pull out what is seemingly huge clumps of earwax and I put it in there, in my ear. And I can't see shit because I got so much hair in my ears. I just like really played myself. Like I can't see shit because I got so much hair in my ears. I just like really played myself. Like I can't see anything because this camera is just, yeah, I had no idea I had that much hair in my ears.

Now occasionally when I go to the barber shop, they'll give me the waxing treatment nearly everywhere on my head. And I've had my ears waxed before, it hurt. So clearly I know that there's ears in there. I have a Sicilian grandfather. Yeah, it's gonna. Heirs.

Yeah, ear hair. I have a Sicilian grandfather and you know, I've noticed with the nose hair and the ear hair, that's become a thing as I reach my late 30s. But I need to get my ears waxed in order to see my ear wax because I'm totally blocked by all these really thick bushels of hair in my ear.

First of all, we can do that. Like we can wax your ears. That's actually something that like one of us could do. I don't think you need a professional like that. I wanna trust anybody here to wax my ears. Like I've had the process done and it's not something that I feel comfortable having Taylor do. I don't think doing your, well, maybe not Taylor,

but I don't think Taylor, I don't think the ear is like the dangerous, you're not probably gonna burn your, I don't think doing your, well, maybe not Taylor, but I don't think Taylor, I don't think that ear is like the dangerous, you're not probably gonna burn your, I don't know. I wouldn't be that worried about it. There is something with a cone and fire that you can do. I've done it before. That looks terrible. What?

Yeah, to have that actual, no, you wanna scrape it out. You want the satisfying, you wanna pull it out of your ear and then just like flick all the earwax off. Also, like the times that I have scraped wax and I've had of you because I found a way to push the the pieces of hair to the side Okay, it looks massive on my phone and then it comes out. I'm like that's it Can we do this with Greg Cody tomorrow? Can we do this the cone and fire live on the broadcast? Whatever go into his ear with a camera and a cone and fire broadcast, whatever, go into his ear with a camera and a cone and fire.

So you got to get a light of cigarette with it. I want to do this tomorrow. I think we could do this easily with get someone in, maybe just hire an esthetician, I don't know, get someone to do the ear wax, but the ear cleaning thing, I kind of feel like you want a doctor to do that, right? Like it feels like a sensitive area.

I got in deep there. And I felt it for like two days later. Hell yeah. Chris Cody, look up for me please, what this cone is with this fire. No, I remember my dad doing it. It's called ear candling, which it's also sometimes called ear coning,

is a technique that uses a long hollow wax paper tube. One end is placed in the ear, and the other end is lit, and proponents say the burning candle creates a vacuum that draws out the ear wax and can help with things like ringing in the ears and sinus pressure. I've heard that this has been debunked. The ear candling has been debunked. I can still buy on like Amazon like a kit for it.

Oh you can buy it. Well Dan did it, did it work? Yes. Really? Yeah you can feel it, it crackles and you can feel it sucking out whatever you can't get to with other things. Is your hearing better because of it? It was for the moment, yes.

I've not had these problems. I've been wearing headphones for as long as you have. I have not yet had difficulties with my hearing. Could be all the concerts too, Mike. Yeah, no, I've treated my ears poorly over the years. I'll admit that. I have seen Dan people on TikTok. It's very similar to the Dr. Pimple Popper phenomena.

People go to the ear doctor and they actually have a recording of the video. Like Mike says, this has a camera. They record it and they play it on TikTok and you can watch people get their ears flushed out. But that is a doctor and I feel more comfortable knowing someone that knows where my eardrum is is doing the flushing.

Let's do this tomorrow With Greg Cody without a doctor with an assortment of things that are not a doctor I want to do a camera. I want to do a fire and cone. I want to do Whatever it is we've got I want to do all of this with Greg Cody and see what emerges from the cavern That is the thicket of hair that is in his ear Another thing we're gonna do, Tony, I'm very disappointed around here that old iron fisted Billy Gill, you know, it lasted for a couple of weeks

and everyone was wearing costumes, but of course we revert back to old patterns. But now Tony has been forced to do a punishment, Stu Gatz, that sounds pretty terrible and Tony's gonna do it later this week. What are the details, Tony? Because people are gonna be able to watch Tony do a punishment Billy? Do you know anything about this is this I know but I'm gonna give Tony his moment

It's how you why how kind of you Billy so we're gonna do the Tony show which is The equivalent of the Truman show where I'm gonna spend 24 hours here in the studio So this is a group loss for all of us and and then it's gonna be live streamed on YouTube so I'll be out in the kitchen and then you'll be able to see me kind of walk around and live my life at night and then sleep on the couch. So watch you sleep on our channel. You're gonna just be sleeping there.

Maybe play a little Madden, maybe make a pizza in the kitchen. You need some company? You can hang out. 24 hours you're going to stay in the studio. So Thursday afternoon post show, I will be here kind of mingling about and then once everybody leaves the punishment starts, I'm gonna be there all night

into the show the next morning that I'm scheduled. I think I'd wanna do this too. I'm gonna mess with you and like throughout the night just randomly unlock the door with my phone and you're gonna be like who's entering here at 3 a.m. That's a loud unlocking. You can hear that throughout the night just randomly unlock the door with my phone and you're gonna be like who's entering in here at 3am? because it's a loud unlocking you can hear that throughout the whole I'll do this I'll have to excuse myself maybe five times during it but are you planning anything or you're just what do you mean planning anything

like cuz you I'm gonna be living my life well cuz you did a live stream on Saturday for like three or four hours and those are not easy to do so are you not gonna talk the whole No, no, there's gonna be no talking whatsoever. It's just gonna be me gonna be boring as shit Yeah, I'm just gonna be living my life. It's the Truman show. It's the Tony show. That's fine. Yeah I'm just saying it's reminiscent of the Truman show. It's all you guys will be at home watching me play video games Or you got half of that right? Well, guys will be at home watching me play video games or you got half of that right well be at home let me ask you guys something I know he's gonna watch Dan about he's gonna be so locked in watch I'm gonna watch maybe we can have a chat associated with it so they can all make fun of you so that

can I control you like you're one of my Sims and be like go make a coffee go to the bathroom sure for a job sure if you go to the bathroom, apply for a job, play on the computer. If you donate to the YouTube channel, then we will. I am surprised, Sturgats. I think most people listening to this, I am surprised that Jason Kelcey not only won the weekend, stole the Skybox from Taylor Swift, everybody enjoying his wife not being surprised by any of his behavior, but I'm surprised that wherever it is that people have gotten tired of Travis and Taylor, they're not tired of this dude.

This dude has not arrived yet, and people are tired of him. Am I wrong? He's relatable. I mean, this dude goes into the Bill's mafia in the parking lot and drinks beers with Bill's fans. I mean, there's something to be said for just being likeable, for being a normal person. It doesn't seem, I did not have Jason Kelsie producing less hate

than Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsie. Didn't have that on the bingo card. This episode is brought to you by Interac. Interac has a range of tools to help your business grow quickly have that on the bingo card. $1 plus your payments are safe with authentication and transaction encryption Interact we geek out on your business learn how at interact.ca slash for business terms and conditions apply Don lebatard Kensley Jansen I gotta be careful here. Well, not just either Let me start again. Stugatz. He's the closer comes in ninth inning Closes the game out. His name is Kenley Jansen.

He has blamed his recent... This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugads. Stugads, a lot of people are making fun of Anthony Rendon. Are you familiar with Anthony Rendon's whereabouts these days? Because he signed a giant contract after winning the championship in Washington seven years 245 million dollars Anaheim that is correct. Wow, but he has not played very much for them So he signs this ridiculous contract that usher's in really who's one of the first right?

Usher's in these new contracts in baseball that are hundreds of millions of dollars more than you ever expected them to be. Seven years, $245 million. And he says, we've gotta make the season shorter. He says the baseball season must be shorter. And he's played no more than 58 games in any of those seasons since he signed that contract,

because he's always hurt, and people are making a lot of fun of him, but I would say, Stu Gatz, in the modern day of we understand that these human bodies shouldn't take this kind of beating, it is insane how long the baseball season is making those guys fly all over the place with very little rest and an occasional off day. And in the middle of the season you get a couple.

Well for him it's not so occasional. That's correct. For him it's not. It's a agreed. It's a fun. It's the wrong messenger. It is the worst messenger. It is the correct message though. He might be the worst messenger, that is correct. He is one of the worst. His off days are when he's on the field. That's, yeah, it might as well be given how much he is missing time. Let that message come from a guy who plays 150 to 162

every single season, okay? I mean, not him, not him. I don't know who's playing 150 to 162 nowadays, but let that guy be the messenger I am with you I think most people are making fun of Anthony Rendon for being the guy who decided to be the vessel on this particular message but I'm telling you Sturgats as someone who shows up at Marlins Park in August and sees like the traveling secretary or the media relations guy, and they're walking on their knees

because they're like, my God, we're gonna win 64 games this season, and I don't know what city I'm in right now. They were a playoff team last year. I'm just talking about in general. I'm not talking, wait a minute, now you're defending the Angels, what are you doing today?

What are you doing today? Well, now you said Marlins Park, you were walking around Marlins Park, you're defending the angels. What are you doing today? What are you doing? Well, now you said Marlins Park you were walking around Marlins Park you're a playoff team I'm simply telling you Stu gots. I know this is not the person you want to hear it from but whenever I show up at a baseball game at Marlins Park in August When I watched the people coming in from out of town Filing in at three o'clock in the afternoon. And it's going to be 174 degrees that they walked into the ballpark through those temperatures.

All of those people are walking around on their knees and they're not bodies hurting from trying to just the people listening to this. Do you think it hurts to slide four and five times a game? Like I understand. I understand these are young people. I understand that they're not old I mean, what are we doing? I have to feel bad for Sirianni and now like a second baseman sliding into third Dom Draper, that's what the money's for I love a good slide I'm not gonna lie, when I played baseball, oh, I would slide for everything,

whether I had to or not. My uniform was getting as dirty as- How was your pop-up slide? Could use some work. I mean, now the game has passed me. You know what? I'd take that back. I was great at pop-up sliding back in the day.

Now I know where this is going. Now I can't do it, so we're not gonna do a whole challenge. We're not gonna do pop-up slides. Anytime I slide now, my whole leg gets scraped And I just have a giant open gash and I'm that guy That doesn't realize how bad he is at the athletics anymore. So when I get going It's hard to stop. I keep it going. You know what I mean? And I'll I'll get into a softball game I'll slide why you should hold on you should quit ahead

You should never play softball or any sport ever again. Can I, I have a confession to make. I have been invited to play softball a couple of times and I have said I can't, cause I'm editing. Cause it's usually on Thursday night, which is true, Thursday is my worst edit day. Because God bless football comes out the next day. So Thursdays are really hard, but another part of me is also,

I think that I would embarrass myself and the people around me. So I kind of, you know, while I may have outs, I do also have the built in. It's a really tough edit day for me. That's right around bedtime slash bath time slash dinnertime. And also, I don't know if you guys feel this, I'm talking to that room over there

because there's delusional confidence in this room. So I feel like we are on the same page. Dan to God's myself we're on the same page here we're the same age bracket in this regard right I feel like if I need to play a sport I need to get in like a month of practice games before I do that sport right like if I'm gonna play like in a softball game I need to go to the batting cages like three weeks beforehand just to kind of get everything back going. It's not that serious though. No it is.

This is like beer league softball. You don't want to embarrass yourself. I've seen you at the media game. You're fine. I was over three this year. At this year it was very short notice that that game was happening. I didn't get enough time to practice in advance.

You're in the upper half out there. But I'm not, I'm not proud of it. The stakes are so low. No, pride is on the line. Pride is on the line, my friend. You'll get there, you're not there yet. You'll get there. Just, Jess, make me a promise.

Enjoy these years. Enjoy them and do the most you can with them because once you get to where Dan and Stugatz and I are, you're just, Tony, you're not gonna get there. Billy, that's literally what I'm doing. I'm gonna tell you. You shame me for it. No, I You're just, Tony you're not gonna get there. Billy that's literally what I'm doing. I'm gonna tell you. You shame me for it. No, I'm gonna tell you.

You're never gonna get there because you don't have the self-awareness. So you're fine. Just keep living in your Tony world. I'm gonna Tony. Your Tony tonight, your Tony, whatever the 24 hour show is. The Tony show. Exactly.

Tony, when the Lonies think there's one last thing. Exactly. Yeah. Enjoy that time. I will. And I'll continue to do it. You are blessed with an inability to feel what Dan and Stugatz and I are feeling.

Jess isn't there yet, but she's gonna get there. Guys, you can just work out and be healthy and be healthy and continue to do it for a long time. It's cute. Yes, keep that. Keep that inside of you. I'm just telling you, I'm the guy that I see like these people that are at these CrossFit gyms

and I'm like, man, I should join one of those so that I get back in shape and then I'm like but it would take me like a year to get in Shape to go to that gym which is crazy because like if you look at the people Those gyms are all not in the best shape right so also Is that gym really working because you've done a lot of whispering today? You don't just saying yeah, you can you can you feel I have feel that right? I have never felt so seen by you as I lament how much it must hurt to pop up slide if I had to do that five times. Now? Yes, that would not go well for me, but as I go to the dentist one day and the next day I'm getting checked for glaucoma and I'm going the next day to deal with some sort of

gallbladder issue. Yes, as I deal with all of these things, I would say to you that the last time I played softball, I went out there with my red cleats that hadn't been worn in, I don't know, many years. That's a whole other thing. You never know when it's the right time. Do you wear cleats?

Do you wear sneakers? This is how I went into the batter's box though. And this is pathetic. No, this is great and pathetic. Great cleats. I hadn't swung a bat and I don't know how long, but I got my red cleats on. And you go into the box and all I'm whispering to myself,

just don't swing and miss. Just don't swing and miss. And I felt pathetic and soon quit thereafter when, this is not the way to play sports, relief from a fielder's choice. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Did you even run? Yes, I ran. I had to run to get to first base, but it was a dribbler that was not hit hard enough to double me up. So you legged it out. That's how you view it, Dan.

They chose the easier out at second base and legged it out. You avoided the DP. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay. I avoided swinging and missing, and I quit soon thereafter. And now I sit around and do a show where I talk to people, do you know how much it hurts to pop up slide five times?

But you walked away from that game saying to yourself that you were one for one, right? No, that's not, that's over one. You make an outfit that doesn't get you, it does not get you. Softball stats, that's one for one. No, in the stats also that's, you know what, made contact and survived

because that's part that's part Tony again you won't get here Jess when you get to where me and Dan and two gods are sometimes you just you look forward to surviving the game you know what I mean if you make it out of the game you're good a non-injury game is a good game that's a W. I felt that way my entire soccer career Billy people were tearing their ACLs left and right it's an epidemic in women's soccer. The last rec soccer game I ever played in New York, my teammate tore his ACL, PCL, and MCL just on one header.

It was terrifying. Speaking of injuries, I want to go, Stugats. I don't know if you saw the line at the Ohio State, Iowa, women's basketball game, but Caitlin Clark is a certified superstar sensation uh... she's one of the biggest baddest best names anywhere in sports uh... because the line out the door to watch her play uh... is a genuine phenomenon

in the cold and uh... uh... one of the least self-aware fans you will ever see made violent contact with Caitlin Clark after Ohio State upset Caitlin Clark. She's trying to run off the court and she gets drilled here because a fan who was storming the court just hits her. Was there some flopping going on there? Did she? No, Dan. Took a charge.

Did she sell that a little bit? Dan, you know Lucy will quit this job in an instant if you say anything. Don't show the other angle. She flopped, she flopped, she flopped. Finally somebody said it, yes. There are two angles of this. Look at this angle.

Extending the elbows, that's an offensive how. Extra spin, white ball, white ball. Shut up, Zagaki. From this fan though, you gotta sell your injury more too. You gotta have an injury off. Like you gotta be hurt. No, she's trying to blend into the crowd. I mean, this lack of awareness is truly astounding.

And then she puts her hand like, oh, sorry, but it's too late. You know what? At that angle, that seems like a graceful pirouette. That was like... It's a flaw, Sam. It's a haze, it's too late. You know what at that angle that seems like a graceful pirouette. That was like It coward I mean this is in Wisconsin and every single person runs over to Caitlyn Park Nobody Huge push there's lines to get it nobody running with the State on the it does say it right there on the floor. Okay. I can tell you didn't watch I didn't It's obvious I just said What bravery now, Jane that you missed that one

No one goes to help though how that poor Ohio State fan seem like a foul on Clark a bit of a push what? That poor Ohio State fan. Seemed like a foul on Clark. Bit of a push. What? If you're the fan, you have to show up next game in a wheelchair. Jess, you can co-assign in your normal voice. You don't need to know if you're wrong. She looks like she got the wind knocked out of her. This fan should be embarrassed. Someone's got to check in on the fan.

She flopped. Birds of a feather.
