This is the Dan Lebatore Show with the StuGuts Podcast.
This segment is brought to you by Comcast Business,
powering the PGA Tour with leading networking,
connectivity, advanced fiber solutions,
and expert partnership.
And guys, this is big.
We have the Comcast Business top 10 in the PGA Tour.
Some shocking names up here.
Some names you would expect to see up here.
Roy, I want you to say a golfer's name
and I will tell you if they're in the top 10.
And the way this works is the Comcast Business Top 10
at the end of every year,
it's points they get throughout the whole season.
And the top 10 basically split a pool of $40 million.
So who do you see being at the top of this thing? Where's my boy being Griffin at?
Ah Ben Griffin, you probably saw the list you have never said that name first never ever
Least noteworthy person to me on this list is Ben Griffin coming in in the seventh spot
So I know you're playing the game lucky as you look down at your phone straight up
I could wake up next to Ben Griffin. Yeah, mean, Russell Henley could walk in here right now.
He could sit on my lap and I'd be like,
who is this guy sitting on my lap?
Oh hey, it's Ben Griffin.
So it's Scottie Scheffler, Rory at the top,
that's obvious.
And after that, it kinda,
now the interesting one on here is number 10 for me.
Keegan Bradley, you wanna talk about a guy
who had, in recent years, last five, 10 years, fallen off. 10 years ago, he was like a guy at the top of the sport, then he just kinda about a guy who had, in recent years, five, 10 years, last five, 10 years, fallen off.
10 years ago, he was like a guy at the top of the sport.
Then he just kind of became a guy.
He gets named captain of the Ryder Cup team.
And then what's he do?
He goes, you know what?
I've decided in his golf of sport, we can just do this.
I'm gonna get back to being good again.
He has essentially played himself
into a position where he can name himself,
which he's going to do.
You mark it down.
Keegan Bradley is going to put himself, and he deserves it to do, you mark it down. Keegan Bradley's going to put himself,
and he deserves it to be on this Ryder Cup team.
It's just crazy to me, what other sport
can a guy kinda tail off and then just be like,
you know what, I'm gonna have a resurgence here,
other than LeBron James, as I say it out loud.
Yeah, that's an interesting point.
We've seen it in baseball,
and we've asked all sorts of questions.
Right, no one's doing the steroids thing with Keegan.
Golf is such a game of form, too.
There's a lot of guys, Sepp Strack is a guy
that is always doing well, not necessarily at the majors,
but he plays a lot.
I think the most shocking omission here is Ludwig Auburn.
Yeah, that guy just seemed, I've been watching golf all year
and that guy's always, you would think he's top-
He's always in the mix, so I really don't understand this formula. Yeah, it's also really unfortunate for Maverick McNeely who's 11th
Oh, he gets nothing and he probably needs the money. Yes more than all these JJ spawns
Just like the guy that's hot this year every year. There's a guy in golf. Who's just like he got hot this year
Yeah, he's always in the mix. Do you feel the same way about Tommy Fleetwood?
Do you feel the same way about Tommy Fleetwood as you do about Tommy Bradley? No, actually Fleetwood is like Fleetwood was starting to do the Bradley thing of he had his peak couple years ago
And I was starting to see it down
I'm surprised to see Tommy Fleetwood in the top 10 honestly
Because I had thought of someone who had started to do the Keegan Bradley decline
NASCAR is that a sport where they can kind of fall off and then just decide I'm gonna be good again?
Not really. Yeah, I mean, people switch teams and all that.
How about, this is a deeper pool.
How's Scottie Scheffler doing?
Scottie Scheffler, shockingly, he's number one on this list.
What?
See, that formula makes sense.
I can understand that.
Good golfer, top.
He's winning all the time, he makes sense as number one.
Justin Thomas is a guy that I...
That one doesn't, what year is it?
Yeah, right?
I thought he had fallen off
But I saw he's in the running to be on the so I guess he's had a sneaky
He's fifth on this list so it's obviously had a good but Justin Thomas being ranked ahead of yeah
Auburn doesn't really make sense
I'm pretty sure Harry English hasn't played a tournament all year, but you just put Harry English
You don't have a list of top 10 golfers without Harry English on there. I feel about Shane Lowry
He's on the outside right he is looking in, a little OLI situation.
I love Shane Lowry because he's plump.
Always been a big Shane Lowry guy.
He always look at him and say,
man, I could have been a golfer.
Yeah, I use him in a lot of DFS lineups.
Yeah.
He's been sneaky consistent.
And he's not that expensive.
He's a good DFS guy.
What about you, Roy?
Dissect the list, don't say Ben Griffin to me.
Just your thoughts on the list, give it to me.
I can't believe you led with Ben Griffin. That was Just your thoughts on the list, give it to me.
I can't believe you led with Ben Griffin.
That was just mean.
Yeah, well Rory's number two.
Yeah he is.
You know, and I'm basing just on Happy Gilmore right now.
I think we should be in a bit of a number two.
Yeah, Rory, that was in Happy Gilmore.
Rory, Brooks, and then it was Bryson,
and then who was the fourth guy on the team?
Scotty, it was Scotty.
No, Scotty, oh yeah, he was on the team
and then he got a red.
Can Schauffele do the thing where he decides
he wants to be good again?
That's another one, man.
Golf is such a weird sport.
I thought the two guys, a couple years ago,
I thought Xander Schauffele and Morikawa.
I was like, these guys are gonna be good for 20 years.
And they've both kind of, I say both weird,
they both have kind of taken say both weird they both but kind
of taken a step back yeah it's weird but I don't I mean while Keegan Bradley is
just apparently the picture of consistency and people I think he was
gonna pick himself even if he was borderline but he's played that's that's
a great story it's one of the great sports stories of the year Keegan
Bradley not no no one's talking about it. Nobody's talking about it. Until now. It's been talked about, brought to you by Comcast Business.

Dan Lebatard.
Let me get some golf ASMR.
Stugats.
Oh, f*** me.
This is the Dan Lebatard Show with the Stugats.
I got a word that I have a real problem spelling and I can't every time I cannot spell this
word without getting any help.
It's the word privilege.
I don't know how to spell it.
What?
It's a tricky one.
I don't know.
Like do you put a D in it?
Is that why?
No, no.
Is it the extra I?
It's the I or E. Privilege.
I don't know.
I don't know.
For me, it's etiquette.
How many T's, where do they go?
Three T's total.
I don't know why, but I'm just more surprised
that you find yourself texting that word
often enough to know that you can't spell it.
I'm a big etiquette guy.
Well, you're in luck, boys.
Etiquette guy is what you are.
Because I have a top five
that revolves around this very issue.
Yeah?
It's a top five list of top five words
that people rely on their phones almost exclusively
to spell for them.
This is interesting because everybody has these words,
but people are judgy,
because you could just feel right there.
You guys were judging me for saying,
like, I know how to spell privilege.
I was judging you for using the word etiquette.
Oh, so you think etiquette is actually
a good example of this.
No, it's a great example, but what's surprising is you using that word, because I Oh, so you think etiquette is actually a good example of this. I don't imagine. No, it's a great example.
But what's surprising is you using that word,
because I would just assume you didn't know what it meant.
Like you texting the boys, that's poor etiquette, boys.
That doesn't really fit.
One tough one that I always have,
and I don't want to spoil it if it's on your list, restaurant.
Restaurant?
I heard that a lot.
Where does, like, you go, rest-tor-
I'm judging.
That's an easy word for me. You know, right a restaurant
All right. Hey you not that hard pricing to me so far my top five list is clean. No one has guessed
Okay, cool. I'm encouraged. Is it just five or we had an all I want all I okay
Conscience
Conscious or conscience doesn't't matter, both of them.
Conscience.
Conscience is how I spell it.
I literally mouth out in my mind, conscience.
Conscience.
All right, here we go.
Number five.
Ooh, fight through.
Wednesday.
See, but I'm judging,
because I just have always said Wednesday.
Is that because you don't know how to spell it,
or because it automatically pops up when you hit WED?
Look, man, do what you want with this list.
It's a top five words that people count on their phone
almost exclusively to spell for them.
Okay.
Number four, February.
Another one.
February.
That's right.
Brew, brewery.
Brewery, yeah.
Brew crew.
We get to the nitty gry. Brewery, yeah. Brew crew.
We get something nitty gritty.
Number three.
Uh huh.
Separate.
You gotta keep them separated.
I'm not even sure if autocorrect's correct on that one.
Separate, separate.
You ever have that where autocorrect?
Is there an A's or two A's?
Is there an A if there are two A's?
How many A's?
Ever have that where autocorrect lets you down?
And then it questions itself.
It's like, I think this is the word,
but I'm going to put a little blue line under it
just in case it's incorrect.
Yes, often.
It's tough when you're doing Spanish, too,
when you're mixing Spanish and English words
where you're like, did you mean this?
And I'm like, no, I meant that.
And then I put an English word in there,
and they're like, that's not a word.
And I'm like, no, no, that's definitely a word.
They need to have a Spanish setting.
That's our issue, Izzy.
All right, the top two, I am secure enough to admit
I did not spell correctly on my own list.
Wow. Wow.
Because I was trying to do it without a phone.
Why?
Because I just lean on my phone
so hard to get this one right.
I guess somewhere around senior year of high school,
I said, hopefully one day
the technology will handle this for me.
Number two is embarrass.
Ah man.
Nobody knows how many R's, how many S's,
is it RAs, is it Es, it's a great one.
Zazz, you don't like this game?
No, I mean I know all these words, I'm an adult.
There's two R's in embarrass?
Yeah.
Where?
Where the R goes.
Number one, I screwed the spelling up so bad. Definitely.
What?
Okay, there is judgment.
There is judgment.
No, the multiple eyes.
Definitely.
There's multiple eyes?
Definitely.
Oh yeah.
Is that one where...
It's a play on words, I get it, but it's not one where you don't know how to spell.
It's just when you're typing, it's just like, are there that many eyes in there?
No, no, no.
I've leaned on my phone so hard
to do this one for me that I have somehow
forgotten how to spell this word.
I do think that's the toughest one on your list for sure.
See, Jason in my ear just said available.
That's an easy word to spell.
No, available.
What are we doing?
What are we doing?
Why would Jason admit so readily that he's an idiot?
You go to school?
Chris, you hit on something very accurate, right?
Which is the idea.
We've all got them.
It's like the stand versus sit wipe.
Not only do you have the way you do it,
but you see the others as what the hell is wrong with you,
you weirdo.
How is that possible?
Same thing here, I'm like, how do you not spell available?
Avail, able.
He's a gator.
Ouch.
You guys wanna get back to my top five,
since I was just bouncing off of Zaslo's top five,
with five things he loves about baseball?
Getting back to it, let's just go to it.
OK, let's get to it.
You want my three things I love about baseball?
Yeah, we'll do these as the OLIs.
Chris has my OLIs, because Chris and I, we're right here.
All right.
You're working together?
First OLI, the hitter stepping into the batter's box
and tapping the catcher on the knee pads.
Well, hey, how's it going?
A little hello.
A little hello, how you doing?
Good to see you.
Never noticed that in my life.
I would cast you, Chris, as a catcher.
Oh yeah. Thank you.
The funny thing is,
No.
Funny thing is,
I can't do the squat for like more than 10 seconds.
There are people that like catchers,
they can just squat for nine innings
and their knees never hurt.
If I get down to squats and catch like four pitches,
my knees are throbbing.
All right.
Fun fact, next one, pitchers writing something
behind the mound before the start.
It's usually like a little initials,
maybe someone they lost, a nice moment.
I always enjoy that part.
Never noticed that shit.
And the last one, my last OLI is when anytime they go to the pitchers man
Whether it's a first baseman catcher and they cover their mouth. Oh that I do like that
I don't want anyone to know what I'm dude. I'm telling you I started doing that and it's so fun
Whenever I'm like an NBA game and I'm talking to someone I would just do that's the LeBron move LeBron's done that where he's like
Talking to somebody after a game. This is the most fun. I feel like LeBron and Wade were the first yes
Yeah, and you have to talk with the shirt
Oh, they do the shirt, and they always and it's always the most exciting conversation
I'm like Larry is shit you better and then you got to go over here
And you know how it ends always ends with one of them shoving the other look all right. I'll talk to you later
All right cool all right number five
You might have seen heard this one already.
When they put gum on hats and they don't realize it,
and you have to wait like, oh no, look at that idiot's got
gum on his hat, he doesn't know it.
That's my number five.
Number four, the double steal.
You don't see this anymore, but I used to love that stuff
where it's like, oh no, they're both going, chaos, where do you throw it?
I thought you meant like Major League when he stole like
first and then he stole second and then he stole like,
you know, just keeps stealing bases.
No.
Number three, when a player slides into first.
Head first.
It doesn't matter anyway.
You need to feed first here, Montz.
But because I always, when I was a kid,
I remember this Steve Lyons video, right?
And he would face first, or arms first, hands first, I don't know what was a kid, I remember this Steve Lyons video, right? And he would face first or arms first hands first
I don't know what you call it head first head first into first base and then not realizing that he's at a baseball game
Pulls down his pants to get the dirt out of it. I thought that was a very funny moment
Try hard going feet feet first is like
Spikes up. I will always miss
I think Steve Lyons made a career after baseball
just from being that goofy guy,
all from this clip right here.
That pitcher looks like he's 52 years old.
There's no way he forgot,
there's thousands of people watching him.
Number two.
This one might be specific to people who cover the league
because you're there for all this stuff
when they water the infield.
Before first pitch.
Oh my god, that is so soothing.
A lot of dudes holding that hose.
So many dudes.
That's not even the part I'm looking at.
It's just that when it goes from dry dirt
to wet dirt and it's all in this line.
Oh, it's trance.
Hold on, are you talking about like
when they're combing the infield?
No, they comb it and then they spray it down.
The last thing before the game starts is it water.
But you know how it's infield dirt, right?
It's orange, so it'll get slightly darker when it's wet,
right?
So if you're watching it from a distance,
like I did in the press box, and they're just,
it's like coloring.
It's like coloring in real life.
You know how on social media sometimes you
get the half videos where it's something I want to watch,
and then it's just like something that's pleasant to watch?
Yeah.
It's that.
It was that before the internet.
Like you were with subway riders.
It's just pleasant to watch.
YouTube's going to jump it? Oh, yeah. The. Oh, yeah dark brown borrow that as a moment of Zen
You can pay me later just to see the dark brown. I like I like when they comb it
There are so many dudes holding the hose not because it's heavy because it I mean you could use some help
But because they don't want to get the dirt and undo all that have dirty but all the foot marks are fine
No dirty holes.
Number one, when baseball players go full homoerotic.
It's been happening lately.
There's a couple of videos.
I don't know if you saw Kike Hernandez recently
eating not just one popsicle.
He's just eating a popsicle.
But two popsicles.
What are you doing here?
And they're very swollen.
Oh.
I don't see an issue.
This one was a, right, no I hear you. That's how you're down a pop. Yeah, that's true. I don't see an issue.
This one was, right, no I hear you.
That's how you down a pop.
Yeah, that's true.
You don't want any dripping.
There was another one, and I think Sports Center
might have put this on their Instagram feed,
but it was a picture and a couple of pictures
in the bullpen giving each other a hug,
and one gave them a little bit of a,
yeah, right on the butt cheeks.
And I think Jeff Passon said he was just hugging
his bullpen catcher because that's what friends do sometimes
and that little ass grab, I don't think that's what
he does sometimes.
The kiss on the forehead would be accepted
in the baseball locker room.
My favorite thing about baseball, shocking.
Do you know what that guy's name is?
Shocking.
The player who did that?
Because it mentioned Duran, but the other guy,
do you know the other guy's name?
It's funny because this came to me this morning.
His name is Negro.
What?
His name is, no, Frank Negro.
The catcher, Frank Negro.
That can't be right.
N-I-G-R-O, Frank Negro.
That is.
Is that how it's pronounced?
No, I don't know how it's pronounced.
I'm reading it, Frank Negro.
Do you think that's why Christian Wilkins got cut from the Raiders?
Because he was playing the wrong sport?
Because he was eating two popsicles the wrong way?
He did it to the wrong Negro.
Luckily you're here now. We can have the conversation.
Max Crosby.
Hey friends, it's Jerr Bear here, and I'm here to tell you all about Boost Mobile,
which is now a legit nationwide 5G network.
So I must take a break from the jokes here for a second and put on my serious voice.
Because I would never ever joke about a 5G network that has invested billions building
5G towers across the country.
Not even once.
Not even if Mr. Boost Mobile himself asked me to.
There is nothing funny about it. Boost Mobile is now a legit nationwide 5G network and also provides coverage across
99% of America.
Seriously.
Visit BoostMobile.com or your nearest Boost Mobile store location to learn more.
The Boost Mobile network, together with our roaming partners, covers 99% of the US population.
5G speeds not available in all areas.
Don Lebatard.
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.
Working for Sugar Daddies every day.
Stugatz.
This is the Don Lebat show with a stew God's
do you handle that well enough yesterday yeah like I said earlier you were
handling it fine I think later when you went to the feminine steak you might have fallen off the edge there. I think-
I never went to the feminine steak.
He was told.
That's how the show works man.
How the show works.
I'm just commenting.
I said I would like the ability to hate Angel Reese and now I just turned into someone that
hates Angel Reese.
You hate Angel Reese?
And so that's kind of similar to the Christian Wilkins thing because I don't see-
He's also upset that Dionon Sanders didn't die.
Oh, don't you just put that on me.
That's right.
That clip started with other people.
I was pissed off about that too, not gonna lie.
But the thing.
Oh, you know what?
I'll do this.
Oh, go on.
Let me do this.
All right.
What do you say?
I'm not crazy, you're crazy.
It is an odd thing to do that
before you announce you're okay.
It's a weird to die.
The thing that I was going to say on the show on Monday was, hasn't Dion always been over
dramatic?
Like, hasn't he been the drama king for his entire career?
Like, why would he do something different this time?
And so I was thinking when I heard the first one, I was like, that's probably a little
dramatic.
Maybe he's overcome something and that's what's good. But I didn't want to guess that.
And then there we go.
That's what happened because he is pretty dramatic
about everything.
I'm not crazy.
You're crazy.
The drama king is in the building.
The drama king.
I don't want to live in a world in which you can't be like,
hey, that's a strange way to go about things.
When everyone is thinking it, stop it.
He's gone, yes, no one's saying
that he hasn't gone through so much.
No one else is saying that this isn't
a triumph of the human spirit.
Everyone's just acknowledging like,
whoa, this was a weird buildup.
I'm happy that he's okay.
You can clap. Yeah, I'm glad we got out there.
So am I. Yeah.
Unlike other people in this room, right?
You can clap now. Yeah. So am I. Yeah, unlike other people in this room, right? You can clap now.
Yeah.
So Christian Wilkins.
Go on.
I know the place people want to go automatically
is there is a gay situation there either.
Christian is aggressively gay.
And that's the thing that drives me wild.
It's just like, you think all gay people are that aggressive?
That's absolutely insane.
What is aggressively gay?
I mean, sticking your finger in a dude's ass
during a football game is aggressively gay.
No, it's not right for me.
If I'm trying to get the ball out of his hand.
But the problem is, is not like, so he's basically.
Chris, that play was dead.
The way I see it, and there's plenty of people like this,
he is so confident in who he is.
He is a big mother effer, super athletic,
one of the most talented athletes in the world.
You can't question Christian Wilkins in his mind, right?
So what can he do, now this is where,
just a little over the edge,
this is where people say he's freaky.
What can he do possibly to get an edge on you?
He will weaponize your homophobia.
So if I accidentally touch your butt,
that might get you out of your game forever, Josh Allen.
You know, if I'm in the middle of a play,
then wow, you're gonna be thinking about that,
possibly even feeling it for the next 30 minutes,
and now you think that something's wrong with you,
or how did he catch it on camera? How did he do that to me? And then you're off your game. 30 minutes and now you think that something's wrong with you or you
And then that you're off your game you think there's something wrong with you like why did I like it
5% of those what you're saying makes a lot of sense
Why don't we see it more than because it's a personality type Christian Wilkins is the like look I look, I'm openly gay. I am very, I'm very. What?
Huh?
You're announcing that today.
Put that on the scroll.
You guys announced it for me yesterday.
That's a revelation.
Breaking news.
But I am, I mean, not that prude or anything,
but I'm sort of timid.
I just don't like, I don't give off like crazy sexual energy
when you gotta go to places.
It's just like, I'm the normal person.
I can't see you order that for me.
But Christian Wilkins, I've seen people like him before.
Like, even the idea that when he did the split
and the Clemson celebration, he knew everything
everybody was going to say about that.
But hey, it's an impressive physical feat to do.
But also, it just shows you who he is.
He's just like, I have huge personality.
Watch me do this crazy split in front of everybody,
and I don't care what you think.
I remember a few years ago in Dolphin Camp, like it was a whole thing where he knows all the words
to the entire Hamilton soundtrack. Like that was his favorite movie at the time.
So I think where you guys went makes perfect sense, like whether or not he is gay, I do not
believe him to and no we don't have like secret meetings where we talk about people or they come
out to only gay people. So no. If that Hamilton is criteria, Chris and I are gay as hell.
Right?
I was suspected.
But I don't think, I think, again, it could be just one
of those situations.
And that just carries over into the locker room,
where you're in these settings and you're just like,
you know, tickling.
And maybe somebody didn't like it.
And maybe he's just like the type of person
that just eggs on and completely just goes forward
and messes with you.
And maybe there were just too many people in there that
didn't like it and I did think it was a funny note that somebody mentioned that
Carl Nassib was on the Raiders first of all he's not anymore he came out I think
played two seasons I think for the Raiders and the Bucks and then retired
he was not let's just say the perfect spokesman. And so he was very guarded.
He just didn't do much, didn't speak up much,
didn't really talk at all.
And so, and some of the things that he told the story
about something that happened in the locker room
where he said something was gay.
And then one of his teammates stood up for that,
hey, that language isn't allowed here.
I'm just like, really?
Like you were still like that deep into the closet
where you were just using, you know, gay as a slur?
Like, I just, there was a lot,
and then he hasn't really unpacked all of that since.
And so to me, not the greatest, you know,
if Candidate's the person to be our spokesman,
but that didn't mean much in that locker room
because of who he was.
He was very guarded, he was very to himself.
Everybody could be like, oh, that's one of those good gays.
We can have him around, you know what I mean?
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da.
That's a great karaoke song, Lowkey.
And that's also my, Lowkey, my favorite part of the play
that they put on Disney Plus is when he's spitting
everywhere on the spot.
Oh yeah, he's a spitter.
Chris is a catcher, he's a spitter.
You'll be back.
Famously from Glee, right?
Wasn't that Jesse from Glee?
Yeah.
You're not that gay, Mike.
You're not that gay anymore.
He turned down a bigger role in Glee and took, I believe, that role was a part-time role.
Good, because talk about a cursed cast.
Woof.
I like women.
Women, women, women, women, women.
You know what's funny about those videos though,
the Kike Hernandez is,
when I, and I told this story about Tony Afonsoeke,
I used to think, and still do,
that the last sort of locker room to break the barrier
and be okay with homosexuality, it would be baseball.
Why is that?
Because you've got a mixture from different countries,
so you've got a lot of different opinions,
some more harsh than others.
There's also, this is gonna sound terrible,
but there's also people whose education
stopped at high school more in baseball.
Of course, yeah, that doesn't sound terrible, it's real.
Yeah, but I'm not calling them stupid, I'm just saying.
So there's just less life experience, if you will.
And so that's where I thought, but now, you know,
boys will be boys, I guess they're just kind of breaking all the rules.'s where I thought, but now, you know, boys will be boys.
I guess they're just kind of breaking all the rules.
No, but football, man, like 53 guys.
Football, I think, football I think is different,
and because of what I said before a little bit,
is I don't care what position you are in football.
Like if I make it as a professional football player,
the sport that everybody can,
the consensus is the most masculine of the sports.
Besides hockey.
You can't be soft and play, You can't be soft and play.
You can't be soft and play.
I don't know what that brushing off hockey was right there.
We'll talk about that later.
Ice skating, I mean it's not really.
You can't tell me nothing.
I don't care what you think about gay people,
you think I'm soft, whatever, I will light you up.
Or if I'm a wide receiver, I will cook you
and I will dance right in front of you like you can't tell me anything in football
So if somebody decides that hey, I'm just gonna be myself in football and what are you gonna do fight me?
Christian Wilkins, I will cook your ass come come with it. Well, that's where I think you're what?
Clip it put it in the club. No, I'm not I don't even know if he's a catcher. It's
clip it, put it in the club. No, I'm not. I don't even know if he's a catcher." "...poor etiquette."

Oh my God, this has to do with Izzy actually.
So this morning, and today is the example with Izzy,
it's happened with many a people.
I'm walking to the studio from the car
and I see Izzy on the other side of the street
waiting to cross and the etiquette happens,
Izzy's one of my favorite people around here.
If I'm gonna wait for anybody, it's gonna be Izzy.
You gonna give us a top five?
But I don't wait.
Who wouldn't you wait for?
No, I think I'm proving a point here.
I didn't wait for Izzy.
I saw him there, we exchanged a little wave,
and then I made the left and I just kept going.
He's across the street at Bayside.
He's like at Bayside, or like halfway, but not walking.
He's like stuck out in the middle area.
I wanna let you guys know right now,
I'm not waiting for any of you bastards
to cross any streets.
If you're not right here, if there's traffic,
I'll see you upstairs.
But I felt a little insecure about it.
I was like, is this, you think I'm a dick?
Should I be waiting?
I thought about this a little bit,
and I'm gonna give you a pass here.
Did you think about it in the moment?
Absolutely.
I was like, cause I'd looked, I waved hello,
and I didn't wanna be the eager guy.
I was just like looking and seeing if he's gonna wait for me, right?
So I kind of looked down and then when I looked up again, he had already turned the corner and I was like,
You know what?
Son of a bitch.
I would probably do the same thing and I was like when I get to the lobby,
He'll probably be there in the elevator banks waiting for me because we're going to the same floor.
Nope, wasn't there yet.
Now what I did? Well first, you know, I was tracking all this. As I walked into the elsir,
I look and you're doing a stop and chat with Mac. Yeah, it was tracking all this. As I walked into the Elcer, I look,
and you're doing a stop and chat with Mac.
Yeah, it was a quick one though.
So I'm like, I don't know how long that's gonna take.
So I get to the elevator, and as I'm about to walk on,
I do the look.
I'm like, if I see you, I look to my right,
if you're there, I'm waving you
and I'm holding the elevator.
You know what, Chris?
Now did I scurry quickly into the elevator
when I looked right and you weren't there?
Because I'm like, good.
Yeah, you have to, right?
But it's not a thing against you.
If I see half of you then I'm gonna be like
well wait a second he might have seen me.
Yeah you gotta get in there quick.
I like to be in that elevator alone.
There's a good mirror in there.
I get to do the last check of the day.
Last check.
Little side profile.
What's it look like if I'm walking away?
I don't like those man.
Wait what?
I don't like the mirrors.
You don't do a last minute check in the elevator?
You guys all do that?
Really?
You don't walk in that elevator?
The elevator closes and now you're like okay how's this.
Just to make sure the fly's up, make sure the, you know...
Hair, brush my hair one last time.
And you turn and you like check your butt?
Like what the side profile looks like?
If I'm there by myself, sure, but how often are you really in an elevator by yourself?
Like what, 50% of the time?
I'll do it with someone else in there, but I'm more subtle about it.
With the other people, it's just like when the mirror's right in front, I don't know where to look.
I don't want to look directly at the person.
You look at yourself. I don't want to look at at the person look at yourself. I want to look at myself
And then I look like some sort of narcissist. I look what why wouldn't I want to be so I'm in the clear
I'm good there. Yeah, absolutely. Hey, you know what I do. I'll get an elevator
You know what in a regular elevator not one with mirrors
I will turn the corner and be in the closest version that I can't see around the corner who's coming in on purpose
So I don't have to make eye contact.
Man, I'm not trying to wait for anybody.
There are a lot of examples of this.
There are times where I pull into the parking lot
and I see Jeremy is parked.
And I just kind of, I park, and then I kind of do a thing
of like, is he getting out of his car or am I gonna go quick
and get out before he's out of his car?
Like, the last thing we want is like,
we're both getting out of, and I love Jeremy.
Like, this is nothing personal
It's just in the morning. I don't want the I just don't want the you don't want the nice don't
I genuinely like Jeremy if you genuinely like them, you're not gonna void all these people
You're doing this thing like Billy you are literally the person more than anyone. I would expect to like avoid people
Yeah, but I don't like everyone. All right. Well, okay. Sometimes I go and I walk around Bayside a little bit.
I'm like, I'm here to tend to it.
Let me go see what the boats are up to.
So you're saying there's no scenario
where it's the morning and I might not be
in the most chatty mood?
That doesn't mean I don't like somebody.
I can't tell you how many times I've been pretending
to do something in my car because Jason's walking
out of his car at the same time.
Like, he's gonna be a long walk friend.
But that's my point.
I think that's a normal human thing.
I don't think that means we don't like these people.
I think we're just humans
No, so you sounds like it sounds like you kind of you think I don't like Jeremy and Izzy
I kind of my example
I gotta be careful like this kind of stigma will stick to you for the rest of your life
As the fans come up to you and we'll say I know you don't like this. I did a segment just like this
I love talking passigated for it. No, I'd rather talk to fans than Jeremy. No, it's Chris's defense. Like, we talk to each other for four straight hours.
Do we need to do a pre, pre, pre-shadow show,
like that on the street?
Nah, we're good.
I have an opposite of that.
I have an opposite of that.
I have someone that I run up to every time.
Who's that?
Like, I'm walking, and this person's walking.
Doing that to me is Roy.
Every time I see him, I'll sprint through cars
if I have to play Frog or try to catch up to Roy.
If he's in that middle, like, island there between the two different ways the car is going, I'm like, I if I have to play frog or try to catch up to Roy if he's in that middle like island there
Between the two different ways the cars going I'm like I gotta get up to her
Have you ever been in the situation where you're the person in front of you a co-worker is walking to work and
They don't see you yet. So it's like I'm just gonna float back. Yeah. Oh, yeah
I'm just gonna let them go just so there's not that awkward
They're gonna look back and be like I should stop. It's like no, you don't have to stop
I'm gonna make this easy on you or they're gonna look back and be like, I should stop. It's like, no, you don't have to stop, I'm gonna make this easy on you.
Or they're gonna look back and be like,
how long have you been walking behind me
and didn't say hello, you asshole?
I was gonna ask that, how do you guys do that?
Because sometimes I'll get to that middle divider
and there will be someone there,
and I was like, I don't know if they wanna be left alone.
So I just kind of awkwardly stand there,
and then neither one of us has really greeted the other one.
I put it in my head just for the walk across the street. This is what I do. I will walk right up behind you, and then I'll do us has really greeted the other one. You can see it on the screen now. This is what I do.
I will walk right up behind you
and then I'll do the tap on one shoulder
and then be on the other shoulder.
Classic gag.
Yeah, it never gets old.
I'm sorry.
It's been a very homoerotic set.
With Roy in particular, I was just standing next to him
because I know he knows that I'm there
and I'm like, how long is he going to pretend
that he hasn't seen me?
Because he'll do it all day long.
Yeah, I about to say, does he ever break?
I'm like, oh, I didn't see that.
Eventually he will, or he'll just, if we walk into the ulcer,
he'll give me, like, he'll stop, and then he'll give me
a very aggressive, like, get in there, like, arm thing.
We won't save it.
Yeah, the super nice thing without saying anything.
Yeah, just.
Blowing out your ass. Can I tell you? you to see you too man heart of gold I tell you my most
uncomfortable public interaction with people if you're at the supermarket all
right you see someone maybe haven't seen in a long time you know maybe you're by
one of the big open section no one's better at avoiding these situations than
me you chat for like a good three, four minutes,
how you doing, small talk, whatever.
All right, really good to see you.
And then you go on your way.
See him in the next hour.
You inevitably eventually wind up
walking into the same aisle together.
What do you say to that person then?
Do you keep, for me it keeps happening
and we're always going in the opposite direction.
Yes, yes, yes.
You're going the opposite way.
You gotta joke for each other. Just walk by Juggler, oh here we go again. Are you following me? It keeps happening and we're always going yes. Yes. Yes
Here we go
What do you say you forget the pickles or you know make some reference to the
Pickles yeah, my movie just up it goes. I'm yeah
299 I never know what to say to the person in your groceries and- You have to abandon your groceries and just leave. You gotta go home.
Go to a different store.
What's wrong with you people?
Just know if you can't have normal human interaction-
If we run into each other at Publix
and I act like I haven't seen,
and I'm just like stumbling upon you,
I already saw you.
And I was just like, cause-
What is the stumble like I wanna see?
It's just like, is that, oh hey!
What's up dude? Oh my god
Wait, so you're saying you will always have seen me first
I'm saying I'm never gonna initiate and let me there are some people like that
I will initiate but if it's like an old high school person that I don't really like I'm always gonna be the oh
Like I'm stumbling into this. I didn't see you there even though I did two aisles ago
Well, do you see them see you do the same thing and then you reach the point of no return?
Cause like I had that,
Zazz was someone that you know,
you were close to.
Who?
Yeah, happened to me at a Target with a Rom dog.
Oh, it's my dog right there.
Yeah, Brett Romberg.
He was walking around Target and we both like,
it was like, oh my god.
And then we eventually talked,
she was like, oh, I thought I wasn't sure if it was you.
I thought it was you, wasn't sure.
And we talked about it a little bit.
Did he remember who you were?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is a long time ago. Okay. This is when people knew who I was I similarly saw a
Chaining Crowder lives somewhere near me. I've seen him at this gas station near my house many a time never go up to him
Does he know who you are? Yeah
We're friendly
Clearly you love him. I mean it's like his relationship with Jeremy
I don't understand.
Tony's all judgy about this. Like you're telling me you know what to do.
You already had the stop and chat with the person in the supermarket. And then three aisles later you cross paths.
You know how to handle that. I'm already three steps ahead. While we're walking by I can't believe one of these. Hey good seeing you.
How many times are you going to do that? Have you seen these prices? Ben, it's an exile, right? Third aisle. I told you we're going to go down. What the hell?
Next level. No, that's that for my techs. That's how it's going. That's in Ken. What about these
eggs? I don't care about them anymore. All right. They're actually down. Yeah. That's the only
goddamn thing. Let's get some ground beef. Shall we? No, I don't care. I don't need beef anymore.
I think Billy's right. I mean, you have the stop goddamn thing. Let's get some ground beef, shall we? Nah, I don't care. I don't eat beef anymore. I think Billy's right.
I mean, you have the stop and chat at the supermarket.
You think you got to go home after that.
Yeah, I think you just got to abandon.
Trips over.
In most cases, if I change my mind, I'll go down the aisle,
put it back.
But I think that all the people that
work at the grocery market, they understand.
If they just see one of those hand carts on the floor,
like a little basket with all the goods
And it's just an abandoned shop
I'm like someone they read they ran into someone they had to talk and cuz you do see just random shopping carts with a few
Things in it. Yeah, I was like what happened. Oh, so that's what happened
I'll tell you I would go home and like I don't have any of the groceries and my wife's like what I'd be like
I gotta go back tomorrow
Do you guys have a supermarket employee that maybe recognizes you that you have to avoid?
Really?
That you give a little hello to at the supermarket.
There's this one gentleman at this one Publix who worked,
I don't think he works there anymore,
but I had to avoid that corner of the Publix
for like six months because he was trying to get me
to play in his son's charity golf event
and I was like, man, I'm not really good at golf.
He's like, well, you can't learn if you don't play.
I'm like, yeah, that's not the point.
I don't really want to do it.
Every single time.
I had a butcher.
That's how I win vegan.
A butcher I needed to avoid at Publix.
I was just like, he's just gonna want to do a stop and chat.
Have you ever, so like I run errands
and I'll go to like multiple stores sometimes
in the same mini mall.
Have you ever had the situation
where you don't know the person,
but you see them in back to back stores?
You know, like we're doing the exact same thing today.
And you both see each other, you're like,
I know you, I'm not gonna talk to you,
but we seem to be doing the same thing today.
If you see them in a third location,
you better start getting, you better start worrying.
Or no, they're probably worried about me too.
Went to LA a couple of months ago,
saw this guy in a, dressing all white,
on an all white motorcycle blaring like R. Kelly, right?
And then like, like literally 40 minutes later
in a completely different part of town, saw the same guy.
