The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Hour 2: Happy Anniversary To The Montgomery Riverboat Brawl

Episode Date: August 5, 2024

Roy pours his heart and soul into producing Because Miami, and Dan accepts that it constantly loses viewers and listeners because he believes in Billy Corben's work, but is it really possible that the Shipping Container thinks TAYLOR'S music is better than the music on Because Miami? Let's find out. Then, Roy Wood Jr. is here to celebrate the one-year anniversary of what he is calling a "seminal moment" in black history: the Montgomery Riverboat Brawl. He also discusses Kamala Harris definitely picking a white man to be her VP, RFK Jr.'s bizarre bear story, his show "The Other Games," the way the "International Transfer Portal" has surprised him during these Olympics, and his semi-sure bet of the week. Plus, "the other black Roy" has returned with a selection of songs from Because Miami to challenge Taylor's Mariners song, and the crew votes on the best tunes. Learn more about your ad choices.

I want to ask the group about something because over the last couple of years Roy has poured his heart and soul into a project that matters a lot to me and matters a lot to Metal Arch Media, but I'm not sure how much it matters to Stugats, to Billy and to Mike. The hockey show? Not the hockey show, that is a different project

that we've poured a lot into. Every Friday. Sometimes, every Friday sometimes. Even during the off season? Yes, even in the off season. What's happening right now? Nothing. Every Friday sometimes is what it was. When did it graduate to more often than every Friday every Friday?

When did that happen? Well, it's really happened throughout the entire season. It's the post game show out the Panthers games That's off and on that's where I was confused Right in the offseason like your consistency now is like you're nailing it, but the season's over. Yeah, well, it was free agency, you know, trades to draft, that sort of thing. That's what we were doing on during the off season. Cool. But now. But that's not the show that I care deeply about. At this point, yes.

Describe your own show as filler? Well, during the off season, yeah. OK, well, I would say Roy. Take the off season off. Roy has not done a great job of promoting his- I haven't done a great job. That's an option. Like, Tony's not doing an MMA hangout

if there isn't a card. But again, not the show that I wanted to talk about. Roy, the way that this has been promoted over, I mean, they won the championship and it would be a great time to soar into the sky uh... the promotion is not been great on this but that's not what i wanted to talk about it uh... the other project that roy has poured himself into a great deal is

producing because miami which is on fridays and very polarizing for reasons that i understand and i will tell you and this was a conscious choice, a choice that was made, I know that every time because Miami airs, we lose listeners and we lose viewers. That is a choice that I am making personally because I believe in what Billy Corbin is doing. Odd choice to make it a contract here. Thank you Dan. Look this is what Stugats is saying it's easier and it's better to sit these

things out. But yes that is the best and truest way to sell out is yes play the hits my man. But Roy and Billy Corbin have been doing important work over there informed work over there important work over there, informed work over there, passionate work over there, and I would just urge you to get yourself more informed with Because Miami. Billy, I'm not sure that Billy Gill, Mike and Tony and Stugats are on our side here Roy, but I ride with you. You are actively costing us listeners and I ride with you. I ride. You are actively costing, costing us listeners and I ride with you. Thank you, Dan. I'm glad to be associated with a show that's uh,

making us lose listeners. Yeah. I appreciate that. I ride with the customers. I do. Of course you do. I mean, why wouldn't you? There are good songs on Because Miami. I catch those. I follow it. What's that word? Tangentially. Tangentially, yes. Excellent songs on Because Miami. They're doing some of the best music we do. We've got Taylor out here singing about John Olarud. Hey, that's a banger, and you take that back. That's the best song we've created in quite some time, maybe ever, and we did a musical that hit number one.

Billy, do you have that there? We can play it again if they wanna hear some more John Olarud, but you don't dispute that the music is better on Because Miami than it is on our show lately, no? You dispute that? No, but it also is like, not casting is wide a net. You have to know a lot about local Miami politics.

Whereas everyone knows about the 2001 Seattle Mariners. John Olarud, just like hard hat. That's stuff that people know. And we're losing listeners, so they're not necessarily listening to the song because they're not listening anymore. That's right, and it happens, but Billy Corbin is gonna be on the right side of everything, and he's gonna lose.

I think he's on the left side of everything. Yeah. No, I think he's in the middle. Ah! He is not in the middle. Well, leaning left. I couldn't even muster a laugh because my gold platter got in the middle. Oh, leaning left. I couldn't even muster a laugh because my gold platter got in the way. He cannot be called in the middle.

The middle is moved and it's moved far away from wherever it is Billy Corbin. Exactly. The middle has moved and that's where he is right now. Down the middle Billy Corbin. That's what they call him. What happened? Centrist. What happened with the sin and Olympians getting sick and having their entire hopes derailed because they brought back their sickness to the relay team

because you can't swim in a river of shit. Yeah. Well, I think, yeah, I think he called it. We were all a little worried about that. One athlete tested positive for E. coli after they they swam in the river and that's really unfortunate because they had another event a team event and their entire team is now disqualified because this case of E. coli there was also another image of a triathlete emerging from the water and immediately yakking huh so

walk me through the timeline here remember there was a protest that everybody in France was gonna go shit in the river Right. That was a thing. That is correct And there was a great deal of security that prevented that from happening, especially Especially the day of the opening ceremony. It's a notoriously dirty river I imagine yes, and it's gotten dirty over over the last few years of all the things we do to the earth Okay, so this dates back to like the dates of the catacombs. Quite honestly, like they've been polluting this one for a while, but the IOC was like, you know what we're

going to do triathlon. We're going to have the people swim in the dirty water and then keep going. So that's a conscientious thought that everybody had was like, you go with it, Mike Billy Roy, everybody good. Okay, let's do that. Yeah. And if you watch under Paris, this Netflix foreign film, like that's a part, yeah, that's one with the shark where that's also a big moment where a mayor's like, I feel good about this triath- uh, triathlon that we're gonna have, but this shark that is adapted and it's made itself pregnant just feasts on him. What a final act this film has.

Did they get the sharks out for the Olympics? No sharks out for the Olympics. Remember there was a real life beluga whale that was in that river. That happened a few years ago. That went viral. It was not as cute as a shark. Is it a shit shark? It's a shit shark.

No, no, they didn't talk about the contamination in the river. They were wondering how a shark could live in that water, but the shark evolved because of climate change. So why can't they just do all of these swimming things in Tahiti where the surfing is? That's an excellent question. Well, why a river?

I mean, jumping in any river is a dangerous game. Is it not? Rivers are dangerous. Not every river. I'm not a freshwater man. I feel like rivers and lakes are fun. Rivers and lakes are kind of on the edge there. I mean.

It's got to, I got to have so much trust in the body of water that is relatively stagnant. That's why I only bathe in Lake Tahoe. It's the only one. What was the country? Was it Brazil that got out of the water vomiting? Like what was the country that got their relay hopes dashed by the fact that one swimmer got sick

or one decathlete got sick? Like what was the- We're talking about two separate things. Now I imagine the person with E. coli definitely did throw up, but in that moment immediately getting out of the water, I don't think this is the same athlete or crack staff is on it.

How hard is it to switch like a relay person in swimming where they wear goggles and like, you know, the cap on their head? I feel like you just sub someone in, right? Who's gonna know? Who's gonna know, right? Well, exactly right. No one's gonna know in right who's gonna know

Formed on the Brazilian swim team, you know, whatever Switch someone out. Why can't you swap someone? I'd try that before I just give up like I'd rather get disqualified for getting caught cheating than just not even trying Wouldn't you? Triathlete Tyler miss law chuck threw up ten times after swimming in the Seine River. Ten times? Wow. That's insane. That'll get you dehydrated pretty quick.

Do you have the John Olarud song please so that I can just play Taylor again singing about John Olarud as our crew claims that our music is better than Because Miamis. Ha ha ha ha ha. Saturday morning, woke up for the game and put on my M's hat. Got in my car and raced to the park. A season to remember. Garcia and Moyer, best staff in the land. Boone's bat brought the heat

Penela just got ejected again Cameron's in the outfield No balls hit the ground Kazuhiro Suzuki in for the save Ichiro was on the bases Yeah he's flying around Edgar Martinez is a fanfave first John Ola rude wearing a helmet in the field too at first John Ola rude we'll lose to the Yankees anyway lose to the Yankees lose to them anyway lose to thekees, yeah no matter where we play, Loose to the Yankees, damn this is blasphemy, at first it's John Olaroo.

There's never enough time here Stugats to talk about all the things I want to talk about with this man. Kamala's VP pick, the Olympics, three on three basketball, Road to Rickwood. I want to talk about all of them, but Roy Wood, I need to talk about something else here before anything else. We need to, as a show, celebrate the one year anniversary of the Montgomery Riverboat Brawl.

I believe it to be one of the funniest videos that has ever existed in the history of people communicating. Poor, lowly Alabama black riverboat captain attacked by drunk white people who refused to move their boats so that the riverboat could take its proper parking space at the dock. A 501 ass whooping turned into a 40 on five ass whooping

in reverse. They turned it around like the bills at halftime with Frank Wright taking them down the field down, was it 38, 35? I don't know, you remember that, Askel. Listen, this is one of the seminal moments in black history that if not for anti-CRT legislation, would be in the history books for the children to study

for years to come. But this is also about healing, Dan LeBretard, because on the same day as the anniversary of these white people getting stomped out, Kamala Harris is set to name a white man as her vice president. Now, we don't know which white man, but we do know it's a white man.

You think that's a coincidence that she's gonna announce the white man right at the same time as the anniversary of the Riverboat Ass Whooping? She's bringing the country together, man. We do know it's going to be a white man. Put it on the poll please Juju at Levitard Show is the Montgomery Riverboat Brawl, one of the seminal moments in black history.

Please just roll that video over everything that we're saying here because I have not been able to talk to Roy about this. But what is your favorite part? Because the part that I remember that made me laugh the most was when a black guy jumped into the water and swam toward the fight. A teenager! That kid was 16 years old, Dan Leventhal, and you know how hard you have to work to get sneakers as a teenager.

And he ruined them in exchange for swimming to help somebody else, man. That was wonderful, wonderful. What's funny is that the city of Montgomery won't acknowledge it because they won't put a plaque up or nothing. They just, oh no, that did not happen. Come on, no, we've gotta put up a plaque. How do we do that?

How do we do that as a show? How do we figure out a way to get a plaque put up there? Or a bronze chair. Oh boy. I like that better. I like the chair. That's like that better but i don't know but that's a much better suggestion we have the power to do this i mean every week john oliver is doing something ridiculous on sundays where he spends an

enormous amount of money to put something stupid somewhere do we have the ability that do you have the power to help us do this i i can make some couple calls i am I am friends with Mayor Steven Reid of Montgomery, and I'll talk to the old mayor offline. Let's not call him cold turkey right now. OK. And we'll see what they have up their sleeve. I think it's just one of those funny moments where I don't

think anybody knew. If you showed that video to anybody and asked them to guess what would happen next, they would not be able to guess what happens next. That's one of the many reasons that it is funny. We just seen people dumped into the water. He's got shows this month in Denver, New York, New Jersey, all over the place. He is still out there hustling.

RoywoodJr.com is where you go. The website is RoywoodJr.com. He's taping a new special for Hulu next month in dc and we've told road to record is very good it's the podcast on civil rights and baseball within the npr because he does uh... some very serious work around the comedy that has some depth to it uh... do you have anything for us on what you want from colorless vp pick i cannot just say that i don't think anybody on earth

is prepared for the level of vetting that happens. Is it me or was it just like last week, the week of secrets? Like every VP has done something that you don't like or they voted wrong on the thing that you support and a week before that, they were all the perfect white man. And now if we didn't find out RFK is taking dead animals and putting them in the park and taking selfies with them

or whatever the hell that was about, we found out that the second gentleman cheated in the first marriage. Why are we just not talking about this? That's what happens during a VP vetting. They find everybody's secrets, man. Because everybody's trying to throw shade. Tell me about this RFK thing.

So part of what I heard was that he saw a bear on the road that had been killed as roadkill and he got it for meat and he was gonna put it in his fridge, but then he had to get out of town and you can continue the story from there. It's absurd. As far as I understand, ask the team, as far as I understand, he took the bear into Central Park.

Did he take a picture with it? Did he take a picture of the bear? You lost me at put roadkill in car. At that point, I'm like, you can't be president. At no point, unless you're from West Virginia, maybe Eastern like Appalachia, all right, y'all eat roadkill. That's an understood thing there.

But if you just, yeah man, I saw a dead bear, I was like, man, let me put this thing in the car, and then put it in Central Park and spin this thing politically. No man, you can't do that. Put it on the poll please, Juju, at LeBattard Show. Is it okay to run for president if you're from West Virginia and put roadkill in the car? Because that's the only place that you're allowing it,

right? I had not heard of the idea of bare meat has just been killed by a car, but he never got to refrigerate it. He never got to actually eat the meat. He dumped it in Central Park. Did he dump it? He staged a scene. He staged like he was trying to scare cyclists with it. He wasn't just dumping it. Yeah, not before taking a photo with it. And I guess in this whole plan to salvage the bear meat, he forgot that he was traveling that day

and he realized, I can't take this bear carcass with me. I mean, Roy, it's never been this dumb. The whole thing has never been this dumb. Drew Unga had a tweet that said, I can't believe Cheryl Hines is now more embarrassed of her real life husband than her TV husband. Don't you just miss sex scandals being what politicians did wrong?

Put it on the poll, Juju. Don't you just miss sex scandals? You banged somebody you weren't supposed to bang. It was in Marilyn Monroe or Lewinsky. And now it's like, because of all this digging and all this deep dive stuff and then finding JD Vance's old social media posts, now we're finding out way too much.

I know we're supposed to know about a politician as a person and how they vote, but I don't even know all that. You know what, you're so right about this though. He has desecrated the Kennedy Dame more nowhere than in trading the sex scandal for a roadkill scandal. The other Kennedy's are embarrassed. Don't tell him short, he has a sex scandal

and like a harassment scandal, like that's out there too. And he took a very curious approach to it. He's like, more stuff is coming out. You gotta keep the scandal simple. That's why you got to respect Hunter Biden. That's old school scandal type respect Hunter Biden. That's old school scandal type behavior right there, bro. That's just drugs and sex and like you said, okay, fine. He's not taking dead animals to the park and trying to scare people on

cycles. Have you been enjoying the Olympics? You're the host on Peacock of a new competition show called the other games. It features events like swirling, dirty, what is it, Ball Busters, Extreme Flip Cup. Yeah, we're the bootleg Olympics. We're all the events that didn't get approved by the IOC, but it's still a good watch. I've had a good time. Do you guys feel like the Olympic shit river

is an important part of the competition? Like, I kinda like the element of death, like E. coli poisoning, because it like, it levels the playing field. Like it's an X factor that you can't account for in any shape, form, or fashion. I almost feel like we need like an environmental disaster integrated into every game.

That's why LA is gonna be perfect for the summer games. What we got right now in LA, the fourth largest wildfire in history, run the bikes through it. We're mountains. Yeah, we do need to raise the stakes. Smoke baby, we'll see if you win now. You saw that American who won the cycling the other day.

She hit that Super Mario boost in the last like half a mile and one so big, nobody else was in the picture. Put her in the big bear mountains, North of Cali with the smoke coming down her lungs. Do it through the flames. They gotta do the triathlon in the LA river, that four inch canal that the Terminator was chasing John Connor through.

Oh my God. Just everybody scraped up concrete scars. You have it right though. Raise the stakes with E. coli, raise the stakes. It's a shame that the athletes aren't all getting a fair share, a fair shake in the water because of the whole environmental stuff that they tried to fix.

But I think what we've learned in this is that you can't say the water's dirty today and clean tomorrow and dirty today and dirty tomorrow. You know how you take a dump and then you flush that dump and then there's still particles from the previous flush in the clean water? That's what the river is like. I feel like that's what they're doing in Paris.

Like they dump it and then they go, all right, it's good. It's like, nah, man, there's still particles. Remnants, remnants. Yeah, you gotta double flush before you tell me to get back in the water baby and they not double flushing in Paris and that's the problem. Do you have any climate change events that you're thinking of particularly or you just

want like what are you adding sports to the Olympics? No I don't want to add sports I just want to add the element of environmental change so that we can see just how you know what we almost had it with FIFA. Was it Dubai where it was like 120 degrees, but they covered every stadium like a coward. So I think 2028 LA is a prime opportunity to show people just how much the world is ending. A dry LA river for all water events, I like that.

We can pray for a fire, not an inferno. I don't want people to die, but just something enough to just hit them lungs really hard, like remember when you smoked a cigar the wrong way for the first time? You want that for a couple of miles on the incline too. And if not, if there's no fire, we can do a controlled burn. We got professionals, we know how to make fire.

Make it more challenging. What? We deserve this, we did it to ourselves. Gators in the water also for water events, but I haven't figured out how to not kill the swimmers in the earlier heats. What is the dirty dish-cus that the other games does on Peacock, what is the dirty dish-cus?

Yo man, so many of these games, you remember Wipeout? Yes. Which was basically a remake of MXC? That's literally what it is. Like Kevin Hart and his Heartbeat Productions company put together a show where we just got influencers and random people to literally just throw themselves up against walls to jump and run

and just do all types of insanity, man. The three on three basketball, interesting to you? Or are you only interested in the big basketball people? How are we drafting these people? And I'm not trying to hate on whoever I like. Why isn't Jalen Brown? Why is the NBA players not involved? Why are the big three the big three champion should represent America and three on three? It's a good point Jimmer for debt like why are we doing better shooter? But again, I throw it I have I have I think I have a delineation here. The NBA players don't play outside That's the biggest thing all three on three basketballs played outside NBA players. Don't play on hard top. Don't play outside That's the difference, but didn't they all play out outside when they graduated you can't channel poor again at one point You're right I'd rather have Jalen Brown playing on a hard court outside for the first time than a Barry brother that I just learned What are we doing? You know how hard it is to just learn that Rick Barry had another son

And then see him get ducked on by somebody from a country. You can't pronounce I Like three-on-three I do think that as Americans the Olympics by somebody from a country you can't pronounce. I like three on three. I do think that as Americans, the Olympics, we aren't willing to concede that they are other countries and they know how to do the thing too. They've been watching YouTube tutorials. They're good now. It's okay to lose if you're an American.

It's not the end of the world. Also, I do respect that the American ping pong team, you see what they did, right? I saw like the Chinese keep winning ping pong and then America basically did the reverse of what all the basketball teams do. Like all the basketball, so many black Canadians all of a sudden on Canada's team.

I didn't know all these black people were black Canadians. And then Americans were like, okay, well, we're gonna get us some Asian Americans who've learned ping pong straight from the source and then put them on the American team. And then that's how we're gonna compete. That's like, we're basically in some sort of weird international transfer portal with countries.

That's really what the Olympics is now. It's like, okay, you're black until we need you. We need you to come over here for a little while. Would you mind being Kate Viridian for a little while? You say it's okay to lose as Americans, but the first thing you're doing is saying, hey, why isn't Jalen Brown playing for us in three on three because we're losing 21-6 to the Dutch?

It's okay to lose. I didn't say it's okay to start your 15th seeded How deep do we get who said who did they lose to to qualify? I'm not saying Put a bunch of scrubs on the roster with respect to Rick Barry and for that I'm just saying if there are better people who are available and free put Steven Jackson You think Steven Jackson won't foul out and play hard outside anytime anybody, we're talking about the same man that takes softball serious

and he never did that professionally. Yeah, he ran you off. Yeah, he ran you off celebrity softball forever. There were, I just, I don't know, man. I just think with certain sports, it would be cool to have the washed up American or the recently retired American who used to do the thing professionally, you know, but like I'm not, I'm not over here

sad because we, we didn't win kayak slalom, whatever the hell that was. It's basketball. That's Tony sport. Yeah. The Jess, Jess, uh, I don't remember her last name, but she had a three 60 on 14 that she went into the water and spun out one gold Incredible, but what Roy is saying is we should never lose in basketball to anyone. That's what he's saying essentially, right? Well, but it's getting harder now because all the blacks are entering to transfer portal and claiming other countries now So I don't know how much longer we can we can do this before we get you out of here We haven't done your semi sure bet of the week Did you have any thoughts on Noah Lyles in that race and can we tie it in any way to your

semi-sure bet of the week are we not doing that? Congratulations to Noah Lyles for shedding up Twitter they were waiting to jump on that boy and that boy won by damn it as my mom said he won by his bottom lip. I'm not sure if I can tell that joke in public. I'm not even sure if y'all can laugh at it. I don't know, I'm just telling you what my mind is. I can't laugh at it. It's too late, I'm already there, it's too late. Here's the thing, when America wins the gold in the 100 meter dash, men or women,

the Chicago Cubs have won the next day. Really? Money line Chicago Cubs. Also, hang on, hang on. Cubs always win the next day, and the Twins always win the next day. And the Twins winning streak goes all the way back to 1984. We're talking Carl Lewis, Evelyn Ashford level, LA Olympics, 84.

So the day after we win goal in the 100, Cubs and Twins win. Here's the problem, Leviton. Cubs and Twins are playing each other this week. and twins win. Here's the problem. Love to talk Cubs and twins are playing each other. Oh, wow. Something has to give. Here's your tiebreaker for tonight's game. Last year, August 5th, same day as the boat brawl, the Cubs won and the twins won, but the twins won by 12 runs.

Therefore the twins are traditionally more of an offensive powerhouse when we're remembering a recent Southern race war. Twins for the win, my guaranteed semi-sure bet for today. Bet everything you own, take your kid's retirement, take your kid's college education. My kids don't have retirement. Have you been watching the markets?

Even bet, oh yeah, that's a whole, that's a whole, we have to talk about that. For the first time since 2021, Top Shot has outperformed the stock market. I'm putting all, I'm investing all my kids stuff in skee ball tickets. Here's some tickets. Go buy something for yourself. Yeah, that's the same shirt bet bro. Give me the twins today. And later this week when the US US if we get gold in the 200

Give me the Cubs always going to extra in any time the United States gets a gold in the 100 and the 200 The Cubs go to extra innings the Cubs are playing the White Sox later this week the White Sox I don't know if you heard 20 game losing streak. They're really bad. I'm really bad Probably should pick the Cubs So it's all Cubs week, bro It's twins twins right now And then when the Cubs go to play the white Sox you go you go Cubs over Sox and extra ends That is the semi sure bet of the week get tickets are an apology to everybody who lost some money on my bet

Last time I was on that's my bad. It was semi sure you didn't say it was a sure bet It was just a semi-sure. You said to bet everything on his semi-sure bet. Also buy some tickets. RoywoodJr.com. Thank you sir. We appreciate the time. See ya. I'm watching the Summer Games and I can tell you that with all the blood, sweat, and tears that these athletes lose during competition, they need all the hydration that they can get.

Now the best player is on our side. losing, and losing for much too long But now we're back with New York pride Stugats!

Jalen! You've got us on our feet, Jalen! We're gonna win the East, Jalen! Without Randall we're still doing fine This is the Don LeBathard Show with the Stugats Roy, the other Roy, the other black Roy that we have around here He is objecting uh... pretty not to say violently but he's upset about us giving taylor status

as a better music maker than some of the stuff that's on because miami he has called dave his reinforcements dave's returns these in the video and these are not being seen because we lose listeners and viewers all the time with Because Miami but the songs and the videos are extraordinary they're exceptional and Roy has asked Dave to send him three is this your bronze silver and gold medal of favorite Because Miami songs? No we're just gonna play them at random because I know that all of them are better than Taylor's soul. Play the first one. The Ozio Bozos A Baker's dozen vying for this thing

But they only interviewed two out of thirteen And picked Kovo Please don't vote for Kovo There are no Mariners in this song Yep, one nothing Taylor Eight minutes left on this Oh Jesus Alright, let's fade that one out if there are eight minutes left on that.

That is one vote for Taylor over Because Miami there. Everyone agrees on that? Yeah, not even close. Okay. It was a weak start. Alright, so this is the best of what we're doing on Because Miami sent by Dave himself. Number two here. Let's see what we've got Taylor fundamental human rights that you don't belong in Florida. Let's get one thing right. Taylor. And if you think this fool could never win. That was very early. Calling that very early. No Kaz Sasaki yet.

Try it. Come on, give it a shot. John Howard might make an appearance here. There we go. Debuting is not in there. Oh, no, DeSantis. Oh. Another eight minutes left on that one, too.

But only if you leave for it. There's my camera. How much more time is there on this one, Billy? How long is this song? It feels like endless. This is sadness. Yeah, he is your guy. You said he picked these at random.

He probably should have vetted them more. Well, I asked Roy to get the very best of what it is, because my A does music. Oh, it's not the same, but louder. Yes. These are best of what it is because Miami does music. Oh, it's not the same but louder. Yes, these are the best. I mean, those aren't the best. These aren't the best, though. I have heard...

I thought Edgar Martinez was better. Better than this. Right. So what is our third one here? What is our third nominee? Billy is delighted that Taylor is somehow winning this. It's up 2-0. I mean, he's won. Wow. Love the song choice. Great

song choice. Can we play the real song? But especially where people can see your being into me Cause that hurts my feelings Seize and desist or something Oh, this is a John Ruiz song I'll have them cross and be threatening As this amounts to nothing eventually I'll still count it as a win for sure This one's good, Roy.

I don't really know love But they are more obscure subject matter. Yeah. That people tune out. More obscure than the 2001 Seattle Mariners and their collapse to the Yankees in the playoffs. I know, I'm not saying that that one is. The song needed to be written though, I'm sorry.

Maximum obscure. When I was gone last week, I got a text from Taylor that was just a link to the song. He's like, I think I'm gonna write a song about the 2001 Mariners. I was like, okay, let me know. And then he sent it to me and I'm like, they play that on their show?

And he's like, yeah, and I'm like, how did let me know. And then he sent it to me and I'm like, they play that on the show? And he's like, yeah. And I'm like, how did they manage to set that up? Like, how did this come up? I just came in here and Chris Cody and Mike Ryan are leaning on each other, falling on the floor, laughing because Taylor's made a song that's so awful that they love it. Awful?

No, it's a good song. It's up three nothing right now. Yeah, you could take issue with the vocal performance, but the song choice is very strong, the lyrics are strong, the subject matter, A+. How could you rhyme John Ollorude with rude? Genius. Exactly.

The vocals though is what makes it charming. I don't want it to be too professional, too good, I want it to be tailored. Three nothing. Something to be said for like a lo-fi approach. Stugatz, you do a pretty good job of overcoming all things that you are with this aforementioned charm you speak of. Charming. Thank you. You are charming and we love you in spite of yourself, but the the criticism is pouring in because you have dared to go after Simone Biles, which is a bit sacrilegious, saying that she needs to the criticism is pouring in because you have dared to go after some own bios

which is a bit sacrilegious saying that she needs to not hop while landing on the dismount right and uh... somebody writes in stew got to once again proving himself to be the dumbest least informed most useless person in the room would be true for just about any room give this man airtime and it is a crime against journalism television radio waves and human hearing and it's based on an of rabid outpouring that is headed your way because you dared to be the one media voice right anywhere nationally or internationally to be criticizing simone bios i mean on the front and i said she's great perhaps the

greatest olympic eight uh perhaps the greatest Olympic champion we've ever had, perhaps the greatest gymnast that we've ever seen, but in that particular moment on the vault, I prefer my landings to be stuck. She did not stick the landings. The girl who got the silver stuck the landings. I don't care about twirls and height and all that. Stick the landing. That's part of it.

That's all I said. The woman. And to be accurate, he wasn't alone. What do you mean he wasn't alone? It wasn't the lone voice Thank you. Here's definitely like a two-man dance Well, Billy encourages Stu one worst behavior. What did I do? What do you mean? You did you fan flames? What do you mean? What did you do? You fanned flame. I remember praising I remember praising Michael Phelps. I remember praising Michael Phelps, I remember praising,

what was the other guy? The other swimmer? Lock D? Lock D, yeah him. Lock D, yeah. This is what happens, Billy, for those who don't see behind the curtain, you come back from vacation and you push

to God's end of the street, is what you do. No. That's what you do emotionally. In fairness to Billy, I came up with a Biles take on my own. Like, I'm fine with it, I'm totally comfortable. You wanna come after me? Come after me. We're not allowed to say a bad Biles take on my own. Like, I'm fine with it, I'm totally comfortable. You wanna come after me? Come after me. We're not allowed to say a bad thing

about Simone Biles, please. I've said a million great things about her. One bad thing, that's all you remember? You haven't said a million. Excuse me, I think this is revisionist history because I don't remember it this way at all. I don't remember Stugat criticizing Simone Biles. I remember him defending the art of gymnastics.
