We haven't talked about baseball yet, Dan. And we're not going to talk about the Marlins because they didn't do anything important this weekend at all. going to talk about the Marlins because they didn't do anything important this weekend at all nothing to talk about there but something very interesting did happen with the Rockies I don't know if you saw this video but apparently the Rockies hitting coach filmed himself in the cockpit of their chartered flight from Denver to Toronto and now the FAA is investigating this because this is very illegal and this is a video of him sitting in the cockpit mid-flight while they're cruising and

I don't know. I don't know what will flight was in the air. We're going to land the plane tonight. Yeah. Yep. So relax. OK, we're really relaxed. I didn't realize that that flight was in the air. I thought that that was something that was happening on the ground. You're mentioning baseball here, and I have an incredibly sad list of all the teams in sports and their most famous fan. Another list. Who?

Who made this one Dan? I'm seeing it on something called Brooksgate but the Marlins, now there are legitimate celebrities all over this, Eminem for the Tigers, Snoop Dogg for the Dodgers, Will Farrell for the Diamondbacks, Paul Rudd for the Royals. the Marlins most famous fan, the White Sox have Barack Obama, the Marlins most famous fan is Marlins Man. I called that back here, I called that. You shouldn't be proud of that. No one should be proud of that.

Exactly. Gloria Estefan has to be Marlins fan. No. I feel like Dan's more famous than Marlins Man. Marlins Man is not great. I'm a little bit surprised that that's the best that the Marlins can do. He has to have that framed, whatever that is.

Stugats, I have in front of me also the number one coach that other players in the league in the NBA would least like to play for. Do you know who that coach is? He has been named this coach three years in a row. The coach that other players in the league would least like to play for. Tom Thibodeau?

That is correct. Thibes. But we don't like it anyways. He's got the Knicks in such a great spot. Yeah. Because he's going to playicks in such a great spot. Yeah. Because he's going to play you 50 minutes a game, and he's going to treat all of the practices as if they're too important.

And he's going to turn your knees into sawdust over time. And he'll be up 1-0 on the Sixers, I mean. Not very often. How's Elton John a Braves fan? I'm looking at this list and that seems odd. I kind of want to look at this entire list now. I can go ahead and give them to you all. I would love Elton John talking Ronald Acuna Jr.

Yes, the Cubs are Bill Murray, the Red Sox are Mark Wahlberg, the Orioles are Edward Norton, the Mets are Jerry Seinfeld, the Yankees are Jay Z, the A's are Bruno Mars, the Phillies. Snoop Dogg is a good get, like, there are a lot of famous Dodgers fans and they went with Snoop Dogg as the most famous. I did not know that Charlie Sheen was a Blue Jays fan, did you?

I don't think he is. So you're questioning the authenticity of the list is what you're doing. Yannis is the biggest Brewers fan there is. Yeah, he's a Pittsburgh guy, that makes sense. According to this list. My mic was on while Izzy and I were discussing Michael Keaton being the biggest Pirates fan.

He is a Pittsburgh guy, but Jeff Goldblum, I feel like, could be on that list too. Roy is gone now, did Roy go, did he leave to make feel like, could be on that list too. Roy is gone now. Did Roy go? Did he leave to make sure that he could be just closer? He's the most famous Panthers fan. To the scent of the Panthers. Charlie Sheen is a Reds fan.

That's what I thought. Yeah. Bill Nye the Science Guy. Is? A Mariners fan. According to this list, Hooty is the biggest Reds fan there is the Panthers won a game one to open a Postseason runs to gots for the first time in seven tries it has been since 1997 they were do that the Panthers have won a game one to open a series

Did you go Chris Cody? I was there. Little noon game, noon start, got the playoffs started, even though the ad has started yet. But yeah, it was exciting. It's the opposite of what's going on with the Heat, because the Panthers actually have a chance to win this, and every Heat fan just knows that the season is over. Wow.

The Panthers, I would say, I was trying to think of this obviously the LeBron Wade and Bosch team was the team that entered any postseason as feeling most championship worthy but because this Panthers team is better than any that there has been and better at the playoff style of hockey that any there has been I believe that this is one of the most championship worthy teams that the that South Florida has ever sent into a postseason the problem is that not only is this sport super random in the playoffs and not only can you lose to any hot goaltender, there are about six

teams in the league just as good as they are. And so it makes it sort of, it's difficult. This season will not be a success if it doesn't go as far as last season does. But they will not feel like what it is that I'm saying unless they do that, Stu Gotz, because I really do believe this is as championship worthy as something I have seen headed into the postseason that isn't, you know, LeBron, Wade, and Bosch, which were always going to feel like that. They are worthy. They are good enough. They're talented enough. But the hockey playoffs, as you know, is so random. And sometimes a hot goalie will get the better of a better

team. And but the Panthers are good, Dan, but so are the Bruins and so are the Rangers and so are the Carolina Hurricanes. And there's a ton of good teams just in the Eastern Conference. And that's before they get out West where there are some better teams playing out West. But this has never happened before for the Panthers fan base, where they could feel like this headed into the postseason. And in fact, Stu Gantz, the last time it felt like this was on the buoyant false hope, because their offense was

so good during the regular season, that Hubertou and the rest, because it was the best offense we've seen in the sport, would be able to do something in the postseason. And then they ran into these uniforms, not this team, but this lightning uniforms, and they were immediately swept, immediately strangled, immediately suffocated in a way that everything that they were good at was no longer something

that could be recreatable in the playoffs. Well, as Billy would know, lifelong Panthers fan, as am I. Ice cats. And I. If you actually watch the broadcast, you would feel so proud as a Panthers fan

because they talk about Panthers hockey. Like they have an identity. And they, even the people who talk about it, talk about it in a way that it is the best way to play hockey. And then when you watch and you can tell the difference between the way the Panthers play in the neutral zone, between the way the Panthers play when they're on,

on the special teams, when not on the power play. What's the opposite, when you're short handed? Power kill. Yeah, power kill. When you're killing, when you're power. Idiot. They play entirely differently, and they have this physicality about them.

And then, yes, they happen to score goals as well, but that's not the fun part. The fun part is watching them play physically, watching them sort of strangle the other team. And when you hear the announcers talk about it, it's like Mike says, you feel like you're one of the original seven. They stepped up their pre-game hype video, too.

They have new speakers now. They've invested money because for years I crushed. You couldn't hear any time anyone was talking in the arena. It was just terrible. So they've stepped that up. I had three Gooseys in one hype video. Wow. But from a fan standpoint, it's nearly impossible, as good as your hockey team is or your baseball team, those two sports in particular, to feel like, okay, we were good in the regular season, we're definitely going on a run, we're going to win the Stanley Cup. Just because of the

randomness of the postseason in those two sports. Your football team, fine. Your basketball team, fine. Never in hockey. You don't say, hey, our team was so good in the regular season, we're going to run right through the playoffs and win a Stanley Cup. It doesn't work that way. Doesn't work that way in football either. I mean, the run right through the playoffs and win a Stanley Cup. It doesn't work that way. Doesn't work that way in football either. Well, I mean, the Chiefs just wanted it. I have a question for Chris. I know, but the Chiefs weren't,

you doubted them all season. Like, you doubted them the entire season. You could say the Chiefs just wanted it as if it was easy when you were their loudest critic all season. No. So Chris, three Gooseys in one video. Separate Gooseys.

You got separate Gooseys. They went down, and then they came back all within one video two extra times. How long was the video? The video was about two minutes it felt like. It was like they go through all the names, and then they have the song and the highlights and the fight, they end with Lomburg with the knockout punch he had.

I'm telling you, three. I don't think I've ever gone multiple. No, good Goosebumps last. multiple. No, good goose bumps last. Yeah. Nah, they come and go. Goosey's come, they're gone within five seconds. Who's the most famous? You feel it, you're like, ooh, Goosey's.

Who's the most famous Raze fan? Is it also you, Dan? It's Dick Vitale. Dickie V, yeah. Hulk Hogan, no? No, Dickie V, when he's going out to his 430 dinner reservations and you catch him on the street,

he's there ranting and raving about the raves, whether you want to hear it or not. By the way, RIP to the Schwab. Ah, yes. Transition. Mm-hmm. Go sit in the penalty box. Go, Billy, Billy, go sit in the penalty box.

Two minutes for RIP? He's been, I mean, he's just, he's purposely being just maximum dick for the first two hours of the morning two minutes morning He has been on one today, I mean just not helping just unpleasant like just deeply unpleasant He can't find his hat Just eating breakfast in the middle of things His baseball team is lousy.

They won two in a row. They won two in a row, Marlins. I think one of the easy analysis is of this hockey series. It is an oversimplification. But if the Panthers are playing five on five, they're better than the Lightning. And if the Lightning are great on the power play. So it's the only way they can win the series is to just make sure that they get a ton of

penalties but Chris Cody saying that their pregame is a lot better and he's got Goofy's Goosey's given that it used to be as a pregame him and Roy leading people out of the locker room it would be hard for it to be worse than that. Hey everybody it's, and typically I record these Miller light spots in the studio, but I requested that I specifically record this one from my home office because I got a window and I'm looking outside at those beautiful fish tail palms

knowing that in just a few seconds, I'm gonna go out there, I'm gonna crack open a can of Miller light because while sitting outside by my fish tail palms is usually a good time, I like to take it up a notch and make it a Miller Time. That's right, you crack that puppy open and you don't have to think about what you're drinking for a darn second. A lot has changed over the years, including my backyard. Lots of landscaping being done right now.

But the one thing that hasn't changed is the undebatable quality of Miller Lite. You don't have to choose what quality is the best. Miller Lite has great taste and it's less filling. Tastes like Miller time. To get Miller Lite delivered right to your door, visit MillerLite.com slash Dan, or you can find it pretty much anywhere that sells beer.

Stugats This is the Don Lebatard Show with the Stugarts. ["The Stugarts Show Theme"] Would you guys please look up for me what it is that Ryan Garcia lost in terms of money because he bet Devin Haney that he would weigh the correct amount for their welterweight championship fight and would pay I think it's five hundred thousand dollars for every pound that he was overweight and he ended up not only being three pounds overweight Stugatz but also showing up for the weigh-in and chugging a beer while

standing in the weigh-in and this was a giant upset over the weekend because he was a nine to one dog, and evidently, Haney spent the time like training five times a day, and Garcia admitted afterward that he was just drinking every day before the fight. Garcia bet $1.5 million, he lost that. So he lost, for each pound that he was overweight he

lost five hundred thousand dollars now it is being reported that he bet two million dollars on himself to win the fight which would obviously he says he bet two million on himself to beat Haney so that's's a nine to one underdog that he would be winning 18 million dollars on that if that's what he bet. And I it was a victory for laziness, not training, conspiracy theorists, beer drinkers. It was it was a big victory for them over the weekend bill You know how you said you think that the yogurt like the frozen yogurt people put their finger on the scale sometimes to make it A little heavier when you get your frozen

Secretly had a big toe on the scale Possible Have you guys seen any other examples of shrinkflation? Have you seen any infuriating examples of? Ring pops are ridiculously small now, if you must know. Oh yeah, check the ring pop now compared to a ring pop back in the day, not even close in size. You're still eating ring pops?

Well I have kids. Kids are still eating ring, that's like the worst candy. I'm not a doctor. I feel like Billy would still be eating ring pops without kids. It's like the that's like the worst candy. I'm not a doctor. I feel like Billy would still be eating Ring Pops without kids. It's like the, it's the worst candy cause like your hand gets all sticky. Yeah, yeah.

Let's discuss this. They're good for a bit though. What is the worst candy? Because my nomination would be sweet tarts. Really? Don't like them. Well worse for your teeth or just worse tasting? You know what?

I changed that to black licorice. I changed my answer. I think you have to eliminate black licorice from the discussion. I think that's an automatic get out of here. It doesn't even feel like candy to me. It's not candy. It's more like a liquor flavor than it is a candy flavor.

But it is candy, and it's not a liquor flavor. That is, which is the liquor flavor that is? It's anise flavor, I believe. Whatever Whitty drafted in that candy draft are the worst candies. I have a nomination. Is Jaegermeister the black licorice one? Sugar daddies.

These things, I'm telling you. I love sugar daddies. I like those too. They get stuck in your teeth, like you can't chew them. They're like impossible to chew. They're impossible to chew. Work your first sugar daddies every day. Black licorice has to be a runaway winner though.

I believe that Izzy is right about this, that black licorice has to be the worst of it and then we have to go to a second category, what is the second worst of all the candies? To me it's the ones that get stuck in your teeth, in your mouth, like Tassie. Sugar daddies! It's just not good enough to do all that work for.

Like dots. Dots aren't great. I like dots. Dots get stuck in your teeth, but they're bad. I'm with you. Dots aren't great. Dots get stuck in your teeth. But they're bad, I'm with you, they're not good though. Dots get stuck in your teeth? Yeah. Not as much as shit. Milk duds.

But dots aren't chewy. Dots aren't like what he's talking about. They're chewy. I think so. Never had a dot. They're not super chewy. They're not in the category of where you're putting your finger in your mouth trying to

Like clean your teeth after it's the worst any like hard Like you're looking at lollipops on the screen right now like I've passed Where are we with the red licorice because to me? I mean, I feel like I'm eating wax also I feel like in movie theaters I've used licorice more as a straw than as actual which but what you talking about because if you go vines That's a horror, but Twizzlers are good. I make no distinction.

I disagree. I think the ones with the straw ones are better. You think vines are better? The movie theater? The ones that Garth was eating in Wayne's World, I think I like those ones better. I would say from the licorice category that nibs are the best.

Like nibs. Nibs are just small pieces of Twizzlers, basically. They're just tiny chewables. But if you don't think those are too chewy, how could you think dots are too chewy and those aren't too chewy? They don't get stuck in my teeth. I thought you had the same dots.

Yes. I just had dots over the weekend. Stuck in my teeth. Still. There's like the yellow box dots, and then there's like the thingies that are on the paper that you eat off that I think are also called dots.

Like the receipt paper. What's the one chocolate with all the little white spots on it that I've never ordered? I love those. Like the snow caps? Oh, snow caps, yeah. I love those. So good.

I think those are called dots. No. They're all dots. You don't know what you're describing, are you? I'm telling you, I just had them over the weekend. Snow caps are not dots, Dugan.'re describing are you okay? I'm telling you I just had Caps are not dots to God like what did you have hold on a sec? I had the yellow box of dots That's what I had that's what I had the yellow box. They're chewy. What do you talk to my teeth? What do you think snow caps are well snow caps are like a weird version of goobers and raisin that they're in the same family They're chocolate with a little sugar on top, right?

That's correct. So how's that like a dot? Not at all. Well, I didn't say it was like a dot. It's also not like a Raisinette. I was talking about the dots that you pick off the piece of paper. That's what Jess was talking about,

and I believe they're actually called dots. That's what I thought the dots were. No, different dots. The second live hour's going great. A couple of dots. Tom Nibadeau. So. Ibs.

Wemba Nyama over the weekends, Dugats, we saw some video come out of an interview he did where he said he is immune to temptation, that he doesn't have anything that he has to compensate for and therefore he doesn't think that he will fall into drugs or alcohol or he didn't mention women, he didn't mention that as a temptation, but he said specifically, I don't have anything to compensate for, therefore I am not someone who can succumb to temptation. And a lot of people took it as a sign of maturity, and I'm like, be careful. Be careful about what it is that you're saying there,

because I don't believe that you know exactly what it is, the temptation, all of it that is about to head your way, because he has gotten he'll win rookie of the year, it's Chet Holmgren, he's up against and he will win rookie of the year, but he is not yet The star he will soon be when he's running this league He's been someone's to God's who has gotten used to obviously since he's a from a young age He's comfortable in his own skin and usually when you are that kind of size as a young person It will screw with your confidence because I've told you before,

Kevin Durant used to pray to be shorter because you just don't want to stand out so much as a kid, but he seems to have an unusual amount of confidence and maturity for his age, so let's hear what he had to say to the ringer. I just feel like I'm immune to the things people try to tell me, oh, pay attention to this, know watch out you know all the bad things like you know. Distractions. Yeah distractions exactly like partying you know like

alcohol drugs whatever like why would I ever do that? You're just so focused on what it is that you desire. Yeah and, I don't have nothing to compensate for because I choose to face all the, yeah, all the like trauma, not really trauma because I've had a good childhood, but like all the things that we have inside of us. Well, he's clearly never hung out with James Harden because that time is coming where he will have temptations

placed in front of him. But I do think of a comparison, and it happens to be a guy that he talks about he wants to play like. Kevin Durant, have you seen him sort of fall for any sort of temptations? Has he gotten into anything with alcohol, drugs, women? No, and he's made a whole career out of it

and stayed out of trouble, other than, you know, little burner account and all that stuff on social media. But I think he is the model right now for Wembee, and it's a pretty good one. I don't think anyone questions how much Kevin Durant loves basketball. I don't think, Stu Gotts, that you can be the kind of great that these people are at basketball unless your focus is a bit obsessive and maniacal. It doesn't mean you can't succumb to temptations. It doesn't mean that you can't get soft

with a lack of hunger once it is that you've arrived at some success. I do think that people underestimate, Stu Gott, how hard and grueling everything around basketball is that isn't the games. Right. The arriving at five o'clock in the morning in a city because your flight's delayed

and just having your life turned upside down because every day you have to be in a ballroom on, you know, to do a walkthrough on a road city because they just basically don't want you sleeping in after being out late all night. So they have the walkthrough in the morning just to make sure that their players have some sort of discipline that they have to answer to,

even if they don't need what's given out in the walkthrough. It's an easy thing for him to say now. We'll see how it goes the remainder of his career. I think what you and Izzy are saying is he hasn't seen real temptation yet. I don't think it's an easy thing to say. I don't see a lot of people saying that. I'm immune to temptation. He doesn't have to say.

Wait until I win and temptation comes my way and I'm all in. It's not always there right in front of you. You have to go seek the good times, right? I'm not saying that Shaquille O'Neal turned Dwyane Wade into a party animal, but Dwyane Wade didn't really know what it was like to be famous famous until Shaq got here and taught him.

And so I think with your victor, there's a little bit of a naivete there that maybe at some point, you're just gonna start feeling yourself and say, hey, there's no way I can get in trouble, I'll just go do a little something over here. But that approach is exactly what you want to hear. He can't be perfect, he's gotta have something.

Come on, what's he hiding? He's probably on his phone like 10 hours a day. Come on, all these young kids these days, they don't drink, it's like shut up, you're on your phone all day. You don't have time to drink. I'm just saying he can't be perfect. There's gotta be something wrong with him, let's find it. You're addicted, they don't drink. It's like, shut up, you're on your phone all day. You don't have time to drink. I'm just saying, he can't be perfect. There's gotta be something wrong with him.

Let's find it. You're addicted, I don't wanna do that. There's plenty of time for that. Try to avoid that particular temptation. It's one the media often has. Finding bad things. I mean, it's just, if you're gonna tell me how perfect you are, I'm gonna do a little digging.

It is aggressive to say immune to temptation San Antonio is not going to offer that much in the way of temptation. It will help I don't think you've heard of a lot of star players in San Antonio getting in any kind of trouble. No Duncan Robinson, I mean one's an admiral Why do you think that is Dan? It's pretty boring one of my father the father's favorite vacation places though so strangely so strangely how's that river I've heard they have a cool river it's all they have I love a good boring vacation

vacation Candy buttons I knew you had it wrong. I knew you had it wrong Don LeBataard and finally fruit loops are all the same flavor just different colors I refuse to believe that is that right I refuse to believe it I mean try the grapefruit loot and tell me that doesn't taste different than the cherry one because it does I love fruit loops grapefruit loop and tell me that doesn't taste different than the cherry one because it does. I love fruit loops. Stugats! Put it on the pole, Guillermo. At Lebatard Show, did you know that all of fruit loops were the same flavor just different colors? Refused to believe it. This is the Dan Lebatard Show with the

Stugats! We didn't talk very much at all around here, Stugatz, about John T. Porter's lifetime ban for gambling. A pretty brutal time for the Porter family because another brother, Cobin, is getting six years in prison for a fatality in a drunk driving accident. And once it is that it's reported that you had in Colorado a gambling account that you were betting millions on and you bet on your team to lose, I think that that outside of crimes that result in prison sentences and the loss of your freedom, I think it's the greatest athlete crime that there can be. It's the reason you're getting a lifetime ban

and you don't often see anything in the way of lifetime bans. Morally, sports considers this the worst of all the offenses to be betting against your team, to be betting on your team to lose. And so this is a name, even though we were not familiar with Michael Porter having a basketball playing brother before this, this is a name that you will remember associated with this particular crime because there aren't that many lifetime bans ever in sports. But also I believe it's just the beginning of this, Stugatz, because one of the things that I think think and I wrote an article about this for ESP in the magazine many years ago

It would make sense if you have people who are addicted to competition never mind gambling just Addicted to competition it would make sense that a percentage of them Would get addicted to needing action away from the 81 times a year they're getting it for in this case 12 minutes a night on a basketball court that you would have a desire or a need to compete at all times in a way that would be compulsive it would make sense to me if this is just the beginning

of this, that they will, like with Calvin Ridley, they will give a severe punishment to make sure that others in the future are warned that they can't do it, but it's not the nature of addiction and compulsion to be able to control it when you're somebody who has a problem with addictive personality disorder or just need action away from things. I think, Sugat, you've noticed with young people in general, there is a need for more

stimuli. There is just in general a need to get more from life than what you presently are doing at your job and in this case he was betting so much to God it's not just millions of dollars which was a lot he was making so many bets that there was clearly a problem with how much he needed competition action well. Well, I don't know about you guys, but in this room we are of the consensus that perhaps if they threw out a potential lifetime ban for things like, I don't know, sexual assault

or domestic abuse or anything like that, then maybe we'd take those crimes a lot more seriously. But I think when you go to the competition aholic angle here and say, you know, that's where the gambling problems come in. I think where people have a hard time believing or understanding this, and this is even NBA players, like your competition desire, it's like those are fulfilled by competing to make

the NBA. You have already accomplished a lifetime dream for so many other people and you're going to risk it for what? A couple hundred thousand dollars? That's why you got to the NBA for the money because there's so many other people and you're gonna risk it for what? A couple hundred thousand dollars? That's why you got to the NBA for the money because there's so many other ways to cheat for money. And so the idea, if you want this competition, go ahead and compete for a starter spot, my man. Go ahead and compete for something else

to make you the best that you are and then see if you still have that itch to compete or to get those gambling, or those bets off rather. Do you guys worry that the NBA was too strong, too harsh with this penalty? Because you set a precedent here. So whoever gambles on their own team is gonna get a lifetime ban?

Yeah, and it was- And to be honest, does it? He's getting a lifetime ban? It is perfect that it was a John T. Porter who did this. I know, but are you sure the NBA really wants to go down that road? Because who knows who's doing this? This president's been set before though in other sports, correct? You can't do this. This is something that is

Everyone knows this this is not something that is allowed and the punishment is the heaviest and when you say morally What does this say about other crimes committed? What it says is that those crimes that these leagues don't believe impact the integrity of the product on the court or on the field the way that this one does. They're telling you what the most important thing is to them by the severity of the penalty. And the answer to your question is yes, if Giannis was betting like this,

he would never play again. Hmm. I don't even think John T. Porter has an impact on the result of the game. I don't think he is affecting the integrity of the game when you're just a guy who goes out there for six points, five rebounds, and you're betting the under.

So I don't think this is like a slippery slope situation where you're gonna see a bunch of players doing this. This was odd to me, especially when you consider the family that he does come from. And I don't know how they handle their finances, but his brother's pretty rich. And so the idea that you have to go

and do illegal activity for a couple extra hundred thousand dollars just seemed odd. I didn't think it was the money. I thought it was the action. And when I'm reading about some of the reports, I'm thinking to myself, how much of a loser do you feel like when you bet on your team to lose and it wins like how?

When you're headed home driving home with your private thoughts How much of an asshole do you feel like? When that's what you're driving home with like I thought I had inside information. I'm on the inside If anyone should know I should know I can't impact the result enough because I'm not playing enough. Can't feel more like a loser than that spot. It's a bad spot. It is. It's universally bad.

Did you have any thoughts, Izzy? And I know this wasn't the greatest game, because Dallas, god, it was hard to watch how Dallas lost to the Clippers. But Mark Cuban has said already, he's ready to call it, that Luka Doncic is the best MAV ever, that he is better than Dirk Nowitzki already. I know Stugatsi's take, win a championship. He hasn't won a championship.

Well, you had me out here saying that I should defend, well, I said it, but saying that you should defend Luka sideways from the side, because it's the only way you can actually get a challenge on that shot. But then they go and score 30 points and a half. I did not think that was possible. And so I'm not going to reverse my claim and say I don't think he's the best map ever,

because I do think offensively he's more skilled than Dirk, even though Dirk's a slightly better shooter. But that one game was pretty damning. I wanted to read you guys a quote here from Tyler Glass now. I enjoyed watching him pitch for the Rays last year He's with the Dodgers now and he admits it. Who isn't? Yes, everybody's with the Dodgers now and His quote is I'm a little radar slut Hey, yo He loves looking up at the board and seeing 99 miles an hour a hundred miles an hour little radar slut. Hey yo.

He loves looking up at the board and seeing 99 miles an hour, 100 miles an hour. Does he care if he gets hit? I don't think they put up a time on the board when you get hit. I think the only time you're seeing the time that's put up on the board. I'm just saying, if class now deals something

that's 100 miles per hour, and it goes out of the park does he care He says I'm a little radar slut and that suggests to me that he doesn't care about anything other than hitting 99 on the radar Everybody has their kinks dude doesn't matter if he hits home run or not We're all little radar sluts whenever you drive past one of those little speed thingies And it gives you a smiley face if you're going the right speed or a frowny face if you're going too fast You're always looking at that thing you get get the smiley frowny face ones? Yeah, you've never seen one. Not in my neighborhood.

I don't think I live in a nice enough neighborhood. To be fair, I have never seen a speed radar in Miami. They just let you speed here. This is another state's Izzy. There's a Mississippi state pitcher, Stugatz, who throws 99 miles an hour right-handed and 95 miles an hour left-handed. Come on.

It's impossible. It's Come on. It's impossible. It's not impossible. It's a thing that's happening. So he's getting lit up from both sides. 99 and 95 isn't that fast anymore. I've told you this. Startled that the Oakland A's have a little radar slut who looks up at the board and it's 103 miles an hour.

Focus on one arm, man, come on. You should get Tommy John right now on both arms. Just get it on both arms right now? Premature Tommy John. Wow, if he could space him out, he could pitch righty this year, get the TJ done. Next year, yeah, we'll switcheroo. Do we have anyone here who was excited, blind blindsided or curious about the fact that out of nowhere

as a surprise a Taylor Swift double album made an appearance over the weekend and sold more than a million copies in the first 24 hours because She's the biggest thing in Entertainment and I don't know at this point outside of maybe a couple of soccer players, how many people are more famous than her in the world? It's a fair question. I don't listen to Taylor Swift's music. I'm very neutral, leaning positive towards her in general.

Sounds like you're setting up for something here. I'm getting the sense that people don't like this album. Is that correct, Chris Cody? It's a love album. I'm about seven or eight songs in. A couple catchy ones. It's not, you know, the first time you hear an album, it takes me a while to like really decide

how I feel about music sometimes. So I'm kind of, I know it's not exciting to hear, I'm kind of undecided. Is it because you're thinking you're waiting for the rest of the people to react and then think that way? No, it's just like with music, like I don't like, it takes me like four or five times listening to a song sometimes to like really decide

if I really like it or not. But you're seven or eight songs in, how many songs are there? There's like 30. That's too many. It's not an album. I was talking with Jeremy the other day, like what's the strategy nowadays?

Because I would think that you break those up into two albums and you're making more money, but I guess now with algorithms and downloads, you just want to throw 30 songs at them and hope a few catch. Wait, you're thinking put 11 away for another album for another day? I was thinking- That's a heady play, I'm with you.

Right, but I think the strategy nowadays is the more songs you put up, the better chance you got at the more streams, the more downloads, so it's kinda like- I'm gonna go ahead and guess that however Taylor Swift is doing it is probably the right way. You think she's a volume shooter, she's not going for like hits, she's just trying to- That is what she's doing, is probably the right way. You think she's a volume shooter? She's not going for like hits.

That is what she's doing. That is the strategy to volume shoot. I mean, 21 to 30 songs on an album, that's a volume shooter. They all can't be good. It's literally exactly what she's doing. I'm not saying they're not all good, they all. I mean, she's a great songwriter,

but the key, she's hoping to get seven or eight. You're not sure yet, you're saying. I haven't listened to it. I'm just, this is, I've've read a couple reviews and I'm like, huh, these are not as nice as I was expecting. Apparently it's the relationship before Travis, because this is like a Heartbreak album. The Mattie Healy one, right?

Whoever that guy is, I still don't know. Was there a time people would sit down and just listen to albums when they came out? Yeah, you get your vinyl record, right, Stu? You'd listen to the A side and then you flip it and you listen to the B side and then your friends would come over. It was a better time. You'd have have people come over now would be like your weekend

Well, no, I mean I would get like, you know Mars Hotel Grateful Dead album I would put the whole thing on I'd listen to the entire thing. It wasn't 21 songs though like the dead They would put out eight to ten songs. They knew their music was gonna be good 20 minutes long What's the perfect number? Because someone here suggested that I should listen to Olivia Rodrigo, and I decided to do that, and then I found out that that wasn't something that they actually liked.

Same thing with Billie Eilish. Cougs played this prank on me where he's like, I love Billie Eilish, you'd really like Billie Eilish. So then I started listening, and I was like three or four songs in and sending him updates on how I felt about the Billie Eilish songs like I don't actually like Billie Eilish so I wasted my time on that. What a strange prank. What kind of people work around it?

That's just weird. It's odd. What are we doing? Juju put it on the poll please that Levitard show does it take you four or five listens to decide whether you like music or not? Hey everybody it's Mike and typically I record these Miller Light Spots in the studio, but I requested that I specifically record this one from my home office because I got a window and I'm looking outside at those beautiful fishtail palms knowing that in just a few seconds I'm gonna go out there, I'm gonna crack open a can of Miller Light because while sitting outside by my fishtail palms is usually a good time, I like to take it

up a notch and make it a Miller time. That's right, you crack that puppy open and you don't have to think about what you're drinking for a darn second. A lot has changed over the years, including my backyard. Lots of landscaping being done right now. But the one thing that hasn't changed is the undebatable quality of Miller Lite. You don't have to choose what quality is the best. Miller Lite has great taste and it's less filling.
