This is the Don Lebertar show with the Stugat Spatcast. [♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪ Before we get out of here today, we got to talk about how the general managers

baseball meetings, the baseball general managers meetings, how they had to be postponed, can't till everyone sent home because everyone had the shit. Don't let me leave here today without discussing. Well in baseball, you could say they had the runs. What was that off my glass from the other day? I heard it, it was soundproof, through soundproof doors. Somebody just... I make it somebody last.

Okay, a diarrhea joke. Okay, it's great. Ghosts in the house. Go sit in the Made one person laugh out there. We will get to Tony's top five in a second I haven't got to Tony's tears yet that way he was working on that for hours yesterday I don't know if the tears are combined with the top five But I am happy to report that we are now trending because we picked up by all the places that fight about these things. And so a conspiracy theory that Jets quarterback Aaron Rogers did not tear his Achilles was asked by the Dan Levitard show. And it's quoting me saying since he went into the darkness retreat, all he found in darkness is, I must come back hellbent on beating science.

And now the comments have become a real hellfire. Like just, just so, so debate me. We have now publicly issued the challenge, not just at the microphone, but we've made the request to Aaron Rodgers. I want to debate him now about whether his doctors are fake, whether he's faking the Achilles injury. And seeing what actually does really well on our YouTube algorithm, I become almost sad in a sense

because most of the stuff is intellectually lazy. Although there is a lot of challenges that come with talking about ESPN. If we ever talk ESPN or Aaron Rodgers, no matter how lazy the conversation is, no matter how much of it is a retread, that shit rates, man. We should do it more.

Build the whole plane out of here and Rogers conspiracy theories. In my opinion, debate me on Macafe show. That doesn't help. You have to pick a partner too. It might actually on YouTube, certainly go there drive studies. Do you want Travis Kelsey? Do I'm Fauci? How are we going to do this?

I want to publicly question his doctors, the way that he's questioning Fauci. I want to do it the same way. I want to question whether the whole thing is a conspiracy. Billy gave you a gold mine here. He really did. But he didn't, he didn't, he didn't want the smoke.

He gave you a gold mine without the smoke. And we fleshed it out. And now it's performance art. Now we're doing a thing before Billy was just doing a thing. Let's go to Tony. Where is Tony right now? I was looking for his tears from yesterday. He was working for hours. I'm hearing his tears are going to debut on mystery crate tomorrow. Okay. That's okay. So you guys stole it. There are a whole minutes of tears. All right. News you lose, Danoff. Okay, so your mystery crate is in bar going content I could use today.

He might give you one as a little teaser, but you don't get all of them. Tony, why are you in the weight room and why are you shirtless? Dan, we're back to where it all started, to where the entire Tony's top five for this season started right here. I'm looking at the bench where it started.

We're gonna do something different. We're gonna do a little bicep today. We're gonna be working those out as the top five starts. You have you been using Cree-at-Tayn? Of course. What kind of question is that? I take Cree-at-Tayn everyday. Toney's Mike is clipped to his gold chain. And the crucifix, that's right. The crucifix that is right under that gold chain.

Thank you, Mike. Number five will start here. No, oh, I lied this week. Hold on a second, Tony. If I may, Tony, just real quick, Chris,

are you thinking what I'm thinking? That he better pace himself, that he's going to be, even though that's a lightweight. I was thinking it's a, for top five, it's a five pound bar. It's it's a lightweight, but I think that seven minutes in, he's going to be tired. Like I think he's underestimated the speed that he's going with. I think this is going to fall apart at the end. You're it's already burning, right?

It's already burning. Even though, of course, yeah, of course, I've done 40 reps already. Don't stop. I'm exhausted. I think we're going to go ahead. Don't stop. I'm exhausted. Thank God. We'll start off with number five. He's getting how quietly having a really good season. Come on.

Dan, he's number one in BTTs. You know what that means, Dano? Big time throw Sam House number one. Better than Tuha, better than Jalen Hertz, better than Patrick Mahomes, better than anybody is your boy, the commies Sam Howell. God the Spurns. A lot of turnovers, a lot of sax, Tony.

Those are bad things for a quarterback to have. A big time throws. I like them too, but yeah, he's gonna fade. He's gonna have a real problem here. I see a couple BT2s right now. Yeah, you like that? And it off the Burns after I see him. Number four.

Didn't know the names of his old line. Didn't know the wide receivers names. Didn't know the playbook. Didn't matter. All Josh Dogs knew. He was getting that W. Josh Dubs. The Pastronaut.

He's having trouble. No, I'm good. Who, me or Josh dobs? You are gonna have trouble with the next three of these because this is now starting to burn. Yeah, you gotta hold it a little bit. Yeah, I stop. No, don't stop.

Hold it on the way down. Hold on, I'm actually gonna switch to an outer grip. All right, squeeze the body. Instead of the inner grip to get my outer body. Lower. All right, number three.. Instead of the inner grip to get my outer body. Slower. All right, number three. Here we go. This is gonna hurt.

Oh, this one's hard. You're gonna wanna squeeze it on the way down. Pfft. CJ Stroud is becoming a star. And for, uh, let's go down a little slower, Tony. Hold it and then squeeze on your way up. Number two.

Raven's beat two of the better teams in the NFC. 38-6 and 37-3. You know what that makes them, Dano? For real. A buzz saw. Oh, a buzz saw. Shout out to Stavvy, baby. Raven's looking good

He's hurt how much burning how much burn is there right now do you know how I feel my arms? Do you know how pathetic it is for you to be shirtless and Failure arriving with that Pertuity something I know but people don't know that all they will see is the last four and then he can't keep that up when it's nine pounds let's go push through all right hold on I got my last one here freebies yeah thank you all right number one I need the iPad Johnny can't walk away with the iPad come on John you don't know your observations I need the iPad Johnny. Can't walk away with the iPad

I Do not The oh come on from the big dog went to a end of the game with that lame duck pass in a fumble. The big dog, Joe Rose. He was right, very close. That's Tony's on five boys. Here we go. Here you go, you want it? Here we go.

Let's go, burn it out. Burn it out. Stop, stop, stop. He's gonna, that's gonna hurt tomorrow. He's gonna need some game. Yeah. Thank you Tony. Thank you Tony.

Thank you Tony. We appreciate you doing the hot stew gots weekend observation. Thank you Tony. Thank you Tony. We appreciate you doing the hot stugots weekend observations. I'm sure he's lamenting that he's not here. Appreciate it. If you want his tears, his tears, he was working on that for many hours yesterday. Tomorrow on mystery crate is where you will find it. Can I update some polls here, please, Mike Grine?

Do we have somebody who's willing to update some polls for me? Chris Cody's gonna do it. It's all brought to you by Dollar Shave Club, Epic Razors, Epicly Affordable. Find them in stores or online. We are trusting Chris Cody with the reading. That's right.

Is wearing your underwear inside out a sign of bad hygiene? 86% say yes. I think it's a dedication to good coaching, more so than bad hygiene. How do you mean? Mike McDaniel said that he used to go from, like, Sunday to Wednesday without showering because he was just, you know,

looking at the film, trying to scheme things up. And I think that coach is just dedicated to the craft to the point where I'm not gonna shower, I'm not gonna change my clothes, I'll just flip them inside out. How time, no time for hygiene. If Jason Kelsey was a forklift driver, would people think he was creepy?

65% say yes. That's a terrible take. What are we doing to forklift driver? I was Billy. Billy. Airplane cookie, yes or no? This is a big one. 68% say yes.

Can you be both ugly and attractive? 75% say yes. Yeah. Is every person listening to this? Donald driver. Not Donald driver, that's Adam driver. Excuse me. Although no disrespect to Donald driver.

Jesus Christ. What are you doing? I'm dancing with the stars. I'm bad. In every person listening to this, is there a sex EU? Ooh. 68% say yes.

Can you round that percentage up? 69. Yeah. The sex number. Golden Corral, yes or no? 62.3% say no Say no. Wait a minute. I refuse to believe that of our audience, specifically our audience regularly feels sexy but is regularly against golden corral.

That's not the audience I know. That's not the audience I've met. Those are not the people coming up to me regularly, confidently sexy and against golden corral. Those are not the people coming up to me. Regularly confidently sexy and against Golden Corral. Those are not the people listening to this show. You think our audience is not feeling sexy, but love's Golden Corral, is that what you're saying? I believe that love's Golden Corral more generally than their own sexiness, perhaps, yes.

Our rats misunderstood. 57% say no. Those are the polls. That's good reading by you. Oh, I forgot one. Are you aware of $2 bills? 98 say yes. Metro links and cross links are reminding everyone to be careful.

As Eglinton Cross-Town LRT train testing is in progress, please be alert. This trains can pass at any time on the tracks. Remember to follow all traffic signals. Be careful along our tracks, and only make left turns where it's safe to do so. Be alert, be aware, and stay safe. Don Lebatard! Get some...

Her bear's panthers in a second. It's Thursday Thunder, folks. It's brought to you by Draftking Sportsbook. You go down when you sign up on the app for a limited

time offer or new customers. Jess has constructed this week's Thursday Thunder. I don't know why. I don't know why you didn't wait to sell it no confidence. I'm gonna sell it. I'm gonna sell it. How are we doing? We're doing amazing actually Oh We doing all right. What clock? We're doing all right We got a juicy one today. We uh, we won two out of the three lugs last week. Can we pick it? I mean both roads 20 20 pick it. Why? We're gonna do, we're gonna do a little zigg where everyone else is zagging. We're gonna start with women's basketball.

Yeah, we're a resident. A couple final 14. Are we stagging and others are zgging? It depends how you look at it. We're taking Virginia Tech, the Hokies, against the hog guys to win. That's a great game. Lucy is going to be at that game, Caitlin Clark, Superstar. I know from going to Greece and meeting up with some of the Virginia Tech Hokies over there

on that women's staff, there's a lot of show fans. So shout out to the Virginia Tech Hokies. Hell yeah, then we're going to take it to college football. We're taking Louisiana Lafayette to cover minus 9 and a half against Southern Mississippi. The Rage Engageants. Rageant Cagins, indeed. Lastly, Dan, your fail. Call Comet. Cajuns indeed lastly Dan your fail call commit Plus 25 receiving yards in Thursday night football against the Panthers

Agent to commit is a lethal combination that will bring out Michael's joy tonight It's it's basically Thursday night football Brady to Grunk There's something there with Tyson Badgen, by the way. Let's keep it on him. You and Corbax, isn't it? The thing is turnovers. I think that the thing that's there is Beijing, not Beijing. It's Beijing.

But the turnovers are there regardless of Carlos. Hey, you pronounce. Why? It's Beijing. Beijing? Some people call him Beijing. You do Beijing. It's Beijing. Some people call him Beijing. You do it pretty well, man. It's only getting better.

It is getting better. Get me the sound, please. Just one more time of how he initially pronounced Chamenes. I want to go back to that. I believe it was Guadalajara. We'll get to that in a second, but... My now second favorite, Dodds. Major League Baseball canceled the remainder of its GM meetings after a virus impacted more than 30 executives.

Now more than 30, that's not like the clams. Like more than 30, that's a virus. Correct? That's not food poisoning. That's got more than 30, that's not like the clams. Like more than 30, that's a virus. Correct. That's not food poisoning. That's got more than 30 has to be something. I was joking before that that's just an outbreak of diarrhea, but it can't be, you can't cancel your meetings over an outbreak of diarrhea. It has been reported by reputable reporters, saying that it is indeed a stomach bug. Are you going to call these reporters liars or COVID deniers.

I'm asking you to refer if they were all shitting everywhere, like at the meeting. No, what's, like there's a door. I'm not the door. A stomach virus in my life. We don't cancel the meetings. Shitting. You're lying.

The virus means it probably wasn't foodborne. It may have been from people who are sick, passing and onto one another in like a meeting or something. Well, it's a glimpse. But I'm not an epidemiologist. I just lived through the COVID-19 pandemic. Right, yeah. And continue to.

Dumbrowski, Dave Dumbrowski waddling toward a bathroom in a penguin panic and them having to cancel the meetings of a bunch of people in suits who were there to negotiate big deals. The idea that it would be the oysters is amusing. The idea that one GM's texting another GM and just being like, Hey, are you shitting? Yeah. I'm shitting. Are you guys shitting? Yeah. We're shitting. All right. We got to cancel this thing. Just thought about it. Kim Haine got out of

being a GM right on time. She got to avoid this. There can't be a lot of precedent for big annual league meetings being, I mean, they shut it down do you realize it would have failed experience for everyone at that hotel for them to shut down what is a major economic event these are power brokers coming to town they close down hotels people fight over the ability to host these things because you're you're allowing power to come into your city and all of it is going to the

bathrooms in a rush hooping is funny but you know the stomach virus does sound legitimately terrible. And I hope everyone's okay, but it was very funny when Steph Apsy tweeted that the GM meetings have become the GI meetings. That's a great joke. I think the next time we take a day off as a show, we should announce that we're all shitting. And that's why we.

It's the best excuse you can't ask for a follow up. You know that all the GMs in the WhatsApp group are making fun of what they presume is patient zero. You think they have a shit chat and they're all just texting each other constantly. I think they're like, it's got to be chairing 10. He came in and he didn't look right. He was pale. He didn't have a lot of blood in his face. It's more than 10% of the people who were there. Or like they're just blaming Savitato Stone is. I'm just so sad that Randy Levine isn't still a GM and baseball so that we could picture what it would be like if he had the same issue as he did on that airplane back in the

days, David Samson told us. Thank you, Jeremy. There's Randy Levine on your screen right there. For those of you who do not know, that is the former Yankee president looking exactly as you'd like him to look, if he's denying that he has befiled the private airplanes toilet with whatever it is that Randy Levine had with burritos and breakfast. There he is. That is what I imagined. I imagined 30 of those people running to bathrooms at some Ritz Carlton or some four seasons in Scottsdale, Arizona, running through Canyon Ranch trying to get to an emergency portapod. Same correction, like there are a lot of shitters here.

And John sure holds saying occupied. Sure holds man, the sure holds was 15 years ago. I think he just like recently subbed in the organist. It's a day of brown. It's locked. It's locked. It's locked. It's locked. It's nose. Someone's in here.

Fake elbows. Got the runs. For all the time we have spent dissecting transactions in basketball and analyzing who's good, who is not good, you have to be at least a little amused. Do you not that the nuggets have started with one loss? They're dying for nuggets. Stand nuggets is what they want. They're not getting nuggets. Just runs. Jamal. Sorry. You were done talking about. That's okay. That's fine. Jamal Murray is not

playing for them. And I know that they're a boring champion, but there can't be any disputing that that team is great. And as soon as to God said that the Celtics were going to win 70 this season, they lose their next two Denver again, just steamrolling people. And they beat last night, they beat the warriors. It was a close game. But we can't doubt that that team is a worthy champion, right? Like that's not what's happening and finding it on interesting. No, it's that Nikolay Okitch is is so dominant that it's almost impossible to wrap your head around. He's he's averaging like career highs in a bunch of different ways. He's shooting over 70% on Tuesday's this season. He is such a

dominant player and he puts together stat lines like 39 18 and 12. And we just sort of, you know, roll our eyes boring. I think I saw a stat where Russell Westbrook has the most triple doubles in NBA history like 198. Yokech already has 109 of them. So it's like he's going to be far and away the highest triple double owner in history. But he's just under seven feet. So we'll allow it. When Ben Yama in his fifth game, put up 38 points. It was better than the career high of Bill Walton. It was better than the career high of Bill Russell in his fifth game. I don't think Mike is wrong.

And I don't think Chris Cody is wrong to want to buy the take from Mike Ryan. I saw it was a negotiation like the one Cam Newton and Jimmy Klossin had. Jimmy Klossin had Cam Newton's number. Cam Newton comes in and asks, what do you want for it? Klossin says $1 million. Cam Newton says, kiss my ass. I have to give them my half of the SES to Cyclones for the take. You want the take that Mike has now pretty exclusively nationally, which is, and this

is odd because nobody roots for Goliath, but Mike is alone in rooting against Wembe. And one of the reasons that you want the take, I think Chris Cody is because you know, well, wait a minute. If Joe Kitch is going to be met with this kind of yawning indifference because he's unfair. If I make another person seven, four and unfair, what am I doing to your sport? If you can't beat these people, yeah, but you'll catch his 20 times the player that Wembee is. That's a little. No, no, no, no, if if Wembee were two inches shorter,

he'd be seven foot two Terry Rosier. He's, he's just, he went four for 14 last night. He is a rookie. Mike, he's 19. I'm sorry, you're going to went four for 14 last night. He is a rookie. Mike, he's 19. I'm sorry. You're going to excuse four for 14 by saying he's a rookie. First game at the garden. How old is he? Do I have his age wrong?

Like how? Isn't he, he's still growing? Guys, guys, it's, he's taken number one and he's cheered on by the masses because he's so tall and it's unfair. You see that guy go up? It's unfair. Come on. This is what he was born after the Marlins won their last world series. Yes. Not a good basketball player. It's not good. It's just tall. He's just tall. He's just tall. He's just tall. He's just tall and amazing basketball player. Ju, ju, put it on the pole, please. Can someone call you not a good basketball player

when your career high and your fifth game is larger than Bill Russell's? Yoming tall, good basketball player. Wembee, not there yet. Let's up crowning this guy. And he doesn't need your help at all. At all. You know, I know it's cheating.

I know it's higher hoops, circus, freaks freak stuff, but him dribbling two basketballs between his legs at seven four that he turned both of them over. What he's got to his game is he's tall. That's what he's got right now. He can handle for a big man, but also if you're the opposing team, let's let that big man handle. What are you shaking your head about, Tony? Mike's the guy at the playground's like, oh, this guy's too good. He can't play with us. That's who Mike is. Oh, oh, everybody criticizing my take. You don't adjust sliders on 2K? No, you do. No, I know you do.

I know you do. Absolutely not. I take off doing it. No, no, no, no, no, let's have the 3.0 percentage be their actual statistics instead of manual. I know you guys. That's what you guys are. So good.

Chris Cody, you're jealous back there, right? Like Chris Cody, how would you help? But do you want, I think you can get in here. If you want to, no, that's his thing. No, but if you want to be, no other worse plus minus a medicine square you help it do you want to i think you can get in here if you want to insist thing now but if you want to be the worst pro plus minus a medicine square garden last night you want to guess was it still july's randal god i hope so please it was actually july's oh no no no no no no july's randal at the best that plus 31 you know why pennis cillin came in the form of victor wimbledon yama christkot Gellie's Randall's been the worst player in the league.

And then when Wemba came to town, he's like, thank God, slump us, sir. Medicin. Slump us, sir. Let me take this kid to school. And that's what Julia's Randall did in his sketches. He's so thin. How did he do? You stink. You can't have the tank.

You don't- Super skinny. You don't deserve it. Jacob's thing is mystery podcasts. He loves to go to who done it. And when it comes to McDonald's, his thing is finding the exact right moment to steal a McNugget from his friend Sarah's tray, when she's not looking. At McDonald's, our thing is quality ingredients, like 100% Canadian-raised seasoned chicken in

every chicken McNugget. Our thing and Jacob's thing together? It makes for a delicious delicious mischievous game, even when he gets caught in the Occupy Sarah. Quality, it's a McDonald's thing.

Don Lebatard, Greg Cody of The Miami Herald is writing an article and I'm reading in it,

Moss Miami, sold out. Miami artist, Miami culture, and I'm reading Moss Miami's sold out, and I'm reading about digital podcast network, and I'm reading about us, and I'm like, this is our dreams coming true. Still got a thousand people come out, and we see the shipping container on their own stage, and they're like rock stars. You and me both had tears in our eyes. We're like mom and dad of sentiment and it's hard to get you to sentiment, man. That was a very emotional moment for us to see those guys. I'm telling you guys, you were on stage.

Did and I were both crying. Are you guys aware of this crying? Yeah, we're crocodiles. We're crocodiles here. Oh, crocodiles here are fake. Oh believe crocodile tears are fake. I thought they meant big. DCC down lebertar show with this two gods. I got your my list. I got all these. Try guess what's that. Hey, David. I'm Mike. Oh, God.

And then what's going on here? Not Jesus Christ. I was ready, Mike, but I can get my list again. What's in it? Morosantol. It's a landscape. Come on, dude. I'm getting my list right now.

Oh, landscape. What the? What is it with this guy? Oh, is it notes? Your phone notes? Hang it. I have notes. How is it that we always start this way?

Adnan's not ready. David Samson, of course, is maximum ready, but bored by Adnan's general sloppiness. Weirdly, Adnan on MLB network is a broadcaster. And this I'm just learning about him. Adnan, as a broadcaster, is maximum polished, prepared, gives off stoic professionalism. You didn't watch when I rolled, but he's a mess. Adman's a mess. Like he comes in here

disheveled, careening, pinballing off of the sky. He throws half a muffin in his face. His hair is not grouped. Like I don't't, what, admin, are you dressing up in a broadcasting costume as part of your career but it's not the real you? Then you're painting a very unslattering portrait of myself. I'd like to keep fully the audience and thinking I am the smooth self-assured professional that I've performed myself to be,

not the absolute Tasmanian devil that you have now revealed me to be. But yes, I am putting on, I'm an imposter. Essentially, I am posting as a broadcaster. I'll carry it down my life. I love that we get the more authentic you hear, Samson, why are you shaking your head? What are you shaking your head about? Because you're always prepared, you're always on time. And Adnan comes into the room and he's just sliding in, carining a little bit.

I was just trying to hear him because his microphone is so bad. Okay. Okay. And then are you out there at the winter meetings? Tell me you have the shits. No, I just got back. I did not get to stay for the winter meetings, but I did talk to Dave Dombowski today at Ben Shurrington, had lovely conversations with MLB executives.

I'm back here in C.Cockess, New Jersey. That's where the microphone, David. Unfortunately, I'm still on the road. If I'm back at home with the loan from Mike's full of my alarm gives me, I'm good to go, but I'm on the road. What can I tell you? It's called the GM meetings, not the winter meetings. My bad.

Fair play. I will be at the winter meetings in Nashville, December. So that will be good too. I know Mike's excited about those. I mean, nobody cares whether you're going to be at the winter meetings. I do care about the virus going on in Scottsdale, but we are going to get to this week. Adnan and David Samson pandering to young people by doing the best, the top five already lost. Yes. She's on the crossword. And despite her screen protector, No, she was on the crossword. She's gonna like this.

This is pandering to Jess. It's top five movies between what is it? 2010 and 2020, that decade? Yes. 2011 to 2020. Okay, Jessica, surely they will get you in. Number 11 Jeremy Runner. Before we do this, though, I just wanted to ask both of you.

I know we talked to Samson some about this yesterday, and I didn't know whether you guys had any disagreement here. We had had a movement away from the high paid manager. They're literally middle managers. They are an extension of the front office. They work for the front office. They've been taken, all of their skipper privileges have been taken. They are middle management, but Craig Council just broke the salary structure out of nowhere eight million dollars a year, and Adnan, your thoughts there were what? Well, I was stunned by it, because I love David Ross, full disclosure, former colleague at ESPN, lovely guy, smart baseball man.

I think he did an excellent job with the Cubs. 2020, they win a division title, 2020 and 2022, they divest themselves with their assets. So not much is expected of them. And then this year, I think they overachieved the Cubs in the mixture of division title. Yeah. That's the September soon hurt them. But above average team, 83 win team David Ross and then he loses his job. Now he gets fired for Craig Council and Craig Council getting paid like, Joe Tory was back in the day. I was stunned by the decision. I don't disparage David, I don't dispute that Craig Council's a really good manager,

but I'm stunned that they just throw David Ross overboard, a cub guy who's been there four years, allows consistency, continuity to then get counsel. And I'm shocked that Craig Council pulled up, pulled that move on the brewers. He's, I love them in West. I just don't want Milwaukee. I'll think that eight million years from the Cubs. I was blindsided by it. What are you shaking love them in West. I just know I'm Milwaukee. I'll think they ate a million here from the cups.

I was blindsided by it. What are you shaking your head about, Samson? I may be wrong. I think the Cubs signed that shortstop. What was his name again? Danzby Swanson. And did they sign Senga? I'm just not sure if I divested.

They're not rebuilding. They got rid of Havi Bias, who was so overpaid, he's dreadful. They traded Rizzo, who is sort of over the hill and been fine with the Yankees. Chris Bryant, they let walk. This guy's the guy in the prime of his career. Now he's been hurt. I said, look at it, it's signing, but Chris Bryant's a former MVP, the year still is

20s. The Cubs were not keeping the core from that World Series team. They were not trying to be overpaid by the Rockies. We can agree with that. I would agree with that point, but the point is he's still got $182 million dollar contract because he's expected to be a star player. The Cubs were letting a star player walk, when as you and I both know, they could sign that kind of choice not to. So David Ross was not being given the keys to the kingdom that won't expect from a team

previously that was in the World Series. That's my point. I'd like to talk to you guys real quick about how you feel about the champion at the end of a baseball season, that not being the best measurement for who is actually best. No one would argue that being better over seven games is a more meaningful sample size about what a measurement is of a team than 162 games. Now I'm playing the crossword. Can you guys, all right, let's do the movies.

Number five, Samson. The descendants, Alexander Payne. Alexander Payne did this movie with George Clooney, Aaron Rodgers' ex-girlfriend. It is a movie that is about a man whose wife had an affair, had an accident, and George Clooney is a single dad trying to figure out the path that happened to his wife. And it is a movie that will get you, and it is rewatchable film than who I loved it. Now Alexander Payne's a great filmmaker, Damian, he's one of my favorites, and Clooney

is fantastic in the movie. One slight quibble, the rewatchable. I've never seen it again. I've seen it once, never had the desire never seen it again. I've seen it once. Never had to decide to watch it again. I'll just agree on that, but it's a good pick. I have the same emotion each time I see it. I've watched it multiple times. Number four, once upon a time in Hollywood. That is Quentin Tarantino's top three movie.

If I had to do a top five, Quentin Tarantino list, which I could do, but not on the spot. Brad Pitt, it is a movie that is the story. It's not really the story of the serial killer. It's more Quentin Tarantino's love affair with making movies, and there's not one bad scene in the entire two and a half hours. I couldn't disagree more. When you say love affair, I would call it self indulgent narcissism, quentin Tarantino.

Who cares about endless scenes of Mark Go Robby looking at her feet and going into movie theater and it's just drones on and on. Tarantino is repeating himself. They already know the ending is coming. He loves these endings. He did the same thing with the glorious bastards. You know, he's in a turn on his head and it's not how can we actually happen in real life. I found the indepredictable.

I found it plotting at times two and a half hours. I don't think it's anywhere close to one of his top three movies. No way. It's weird, Edna. Here in your criticisms of Quentin Tarantino and they can rightfully apply to Martin Scorsese films recently. No way.

No feet of his. No, no, no. It's a five time. Mike, once the plot's time to Hollywood is much more plotting than Kimberler's The Firemoon. We can agree on this. No, no, no. Once upon a time, my once upon a time in Hollywood is much more plotting than killers of the fire moon. We can agree on this. No, we can't. Okay, it's much more plot in the Irishman.

You can't tell me minute per minute, you don't find that movie self-indulgent. I loved one time in Hollywood. I loved one's upon a time in Hollywood and I think that both filmmakers at this age and career in their careers of being a little bit more self-indulgent, you just find Martin Scorsese self-indulgent you just find martin squarespace itself indulgence a bit more palatable because that's your brand and you have to say that about scores a i can tell you that once upon a time of highwood is not elite tarantino and it's

certainly should be the top five list of the decade because of his best film he calls it is best number three theater peterson peterson calls the master his best film and that's not his best film either so i mean the directors are sometimes myopic in their own views. Go ahead with your list, Samson. Number three, Marriage Story. I've never heard of this film.

Marriage Story is with Adam Dryer and Scarlett Johansson. No, I saw that, I saw that. It's sexy and I'm moving about a married couple and the fighting that they do, and I fanned it to be quite compelling as an example of how not to be married. I took notes and didn't exactly follow the script properly. It is quite, quite difficult to watch, but important to watch for anyone who's in a relationship with anyone. Do not watch it with your wife. Do not watch it with your wife if you're like in any kind of a bumpies part of your marriage. Well, don't append them.

Yeah, don't watch that. Don't watch it as a couple. Excellent movie, though, David. I'm with you. Great script by Noble on Back. Number two, Boyhood. Boyhood is a Richard Link later movie that I'd never seen anything like this.

He started filming the movie. It took 15 years or so to film it. He follows the path. It took 15 years or so to film it. He follows the path. It's the same cast that got together each year for a period of time and he put it together into a movie. Richard Lincolay is an absolutely underrated filmmaker of my lifetime. Patricia Arquette, I believe, won the Oscar for this movie and it follows this life, this boy as he becomes a man, phenomenal,

long movie, but phenomenal. And she did it with the Oscar for it. I love Ethan Hawke. Nominate did not win excellent choice. I like to explain it a lot. Go ahead. A lot of agreement here from you two. Number one, David.

Number one is one of my top 10 movies of all time. It's a movie with Amy Adams and Bradley Cooper. It is called American Hustle. Oh, terrible. American Hustle Christian Bale gives what I think is his best performance, including the prestige. It's a movie about abscam, which is a real life thing that happened where Jeremy renters in it. Didn't you just say Jeremy renter Mike, you mentioned?

Yeah, he was 11 across in this cross where I'm doing now. Oh, God. Midwest. Yeah, yeah, I Samsung had me there for a while, but terrible number. American host was almost overrated movies the last 20 years. That is a cheap imitation of a Martin Scorsese movie. The only good thing about the movies the first five minutes when you see his comb over, that's it. After that, it goes downhill. It's a bunch of actors pretending

to be actors in a Scorsese movie. I's it. After that, it goes downhill. It's a bunch of actors pretending to be actors in this first-sense movie. I thought it was a politely overrated. I'm not joking right now. I'm shot, Samson. American hustle. That, that, you've got to be kidding me. No way. Yes way. There it is. That's the name of the shot. That's the name of the show. I needed this show near the name and there it is. No way. Yes way. They throw all the movie. Her tradition, Adnan, you rifled through your top five with 30 seconds or less. Adnan, we've got one minute left.

Number five. Parasite. Finally, a good movie. Yeah, Jess is with me on this one. You should like Parasite. Number four, Ethan Hawke first reformed That's a deep cut. That's a deep cut and a really, really good movie. Wow, mother and stubs.

Number three, three billboards outside having Missouri. I love this. I love this. What was that just? Nothing. You're losing her, she said. You lost her way. Okay, don't worry, I'm going to get to all back right now. Number two, Mad Max Fury Road. this. Friends, what was that just? You're losing her, she said. You lost her way.

Okay, don't worry, don't worry. I'm gonna get you all back right now. Number two, Mad Max Fury Road. Oh my. It was beautiful. Mad Max, you made the last 20 years. You would have been in this beautiful world. What do you mean, Sam?

And number one. Beautiful movie. Mission Impossible, love. It is beautiful movie, Dan. And number one is also beautiful film. It's, of course, that's he's unforgiven. It's called the Irish. No.

For these super-dinos. Oh, Now, for these, we're done. These guys are amazing. He's back. He's trolling. Oh, brother, this guy stinks. Cinefile, check it out. You ruined the entire segment with that.
