Star of the day, star of the day, and this year star of the day. Star of the day, star of the day, and this year star of the day is brought to you by Venmo and PayPal. I feel like you gotta wait until my dad is done laughing at you. I literally just told him that. What are you doing? What's the matter with you? It's just a lot of laughing, Poppy.
Starting point is 00:01:01 What's the rush? Where are we going? Where are you going? Where do you have to be? Tradition. Go ahead, Lozvane. Billy, this stat of the day is for you. Cameron Maven. Ooh. It's a name that just makes you laugh.
Starting point is 00:01:16 I mean, former Marlon has hit home runs in three different decades for the Tigers, all the more amazing because he only played 132 games for the Tigers. Wow. That's a riddle. Like that is hard to, Roy fell out of his chair.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Can you say it again? Roy fell out of his chair because you weren't listening? Well, we're all confused a bit. Jess had the same look I had. No no he played for the Tigers three different times in three different decades Right, okay, yes, or he played for them two times at the turnover of one of the decades like he was still on the team Carry over into like in whatever 1999. I don't know. No, that's not how it happens. Is it three? Is it three different? 2007 2016 and 2020 is this kind of tiger is this kind of like that thing where you can
Starting point is 00:02:07 Stand in four states at one time No, the four quarters Illinois, Indiana. It's just like these happen to be in the right spot. Okay. It's not a cool stat It's just I think you have the quad I think all I states touch if I'm not mistaken Let's not go to Dan on this. I vote on touch. What are the four states that you can stand in at the same time? Oh shit. Uh, I think Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico? I think something like that.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Sounds right. I wonder if anyone's ever had sex in all four states. I wonder if the internet would provide an answer as opposed to just trying to do it off the top of your guess was correct Thank you So many geography Problems on this show Dan we had an idea during the break I don't know if we're gonna do it or not because it puts you in a bad spot
Starting point is 00:02:58 But we were thinking maybe you look at this blank map and tell us which states are which in the Midwest No, I'm not doing that. Oh, I'm not gonna take a quiz Okay, I don't mind. I'm terrible at geography. I am I'm really The world's geography it's one of those in the middle. Yeah, Des Moines is the capital nailed it. That's all I know Oh, you know the capital. I don't have the capitals. I'm okay on but geography in general so Tony show me where Iowa and Indiana touch Whoa, ask me a yo no look here. Here's the thing Indiana So Michigan is obviously the glove right and stands over to the other side the glove Indiana is right underneath that Illinois to the left of that right mm-hmm. Yeah, Ohio's to the right of that underneath Ohio's West Virginia to the right of that. Underneath Ohio's West Virginia. To the up of that is
Starting point is 00:03:45 Pennsylvania. We got it. Yeah. You guys are going to the wrong guy. I don't know why you guys are doing this. Iowa and Indiana don't touch two gods. Please stop doing this. Please stop doing it now. I don't want to do it anymore. I don't think this is good for the audio audience just looking at a map. No. Bit cancelled. Yeah, no, if we do the bit, it should be a big map behind Dan so Tony can do it so we can all see the way we were doing it was wrong. That's producing right there. I don't want to do geography quizzes as a visual aid
Starting point is 00:04:16 when I am trying mostly to do an audio show. I don't think this is good in any of the environments that we could pump it out into America So it's just bad for audio not because you know I just think it's all bad excuses I don't I don't think that people want to see me looking and trying to guess places on a map when I'm telling you on the Front end. I'm not good at that. So you admit that's why they want to see it. What do you have me admitting? That their guess is you don't actually know I'm flying a little too close. I'll put myself at the penalty by whoa Wow
Starting point is 00:04:49 Let's move on Kevin Maiden was on a lot of teams, huh? Yeah Like every other season he was on a new team Cuz he wasn't good That's part of it. Well, I mean can you say someone's not good if they were in the major leagues for 14 years? That's part of it. Well, I mean, can you say someone's not good if they were in the major leagues for 14 years? That's a fair question to ask.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Ooh, I like this. Who's the worst player to have a long career in MLB history? No, we've got to find worse than Maven. I remember we talked about it one time with Emilio Bonifacio saying he wasn't good and then we looked it up and he was like, he was in the majors for like 14 seasons also.
Starting point is 00:05:23 I feel like in major league baseball, you gotta be just good enough, because if you're looking for that bench player or whatever, it's like, oh, it was on the Cubs last year? Yeah, we'll give him a shot. Just good enough to stick around. Right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Billy wants, very badly, to be someone who's good enough to be by name in a video game of some sort. Sort of, I wanna be a scab player for the college football game, good enough to be by name in a video game of some sort. Sort of, I want to be a scab player for the college football game. Because there's this discussion over NIL where they should be playing college football players, how much should you be paying them,
Starting point is 00:05:53 and who's gonna hold out, or the good player's gonna hold out, because $600 doesn't seem like a lot of money, right? And I'm here to say, look, if Caleb Williams doesn't want to be the quarterback for USC, Billy Guilt will be. Like I am here, you can use my name, image and likeness for a fee, a smaller fee, but you can use it and I'm happy to be there to be one of these star football players that
Starting point is 00:06:15 doesn't want to be in the video game. More than happy to be there. I'll go with Billy if I can get an advanced copy of the game so I get it before everybody else. You can keep the money, just give me the game early. I think I found the worst baseball player in sports, in baseball history. The worst hitter with a long career, Bill Bergeon, a catcher. He had over 3200 played appearances, 170 average, two career home runs,
Starting point is 00:06:38 just a negative 14.85 war. This is gonna be tough to beat. Old Bill Bergeon. Bergy, how long did he play for? It'll be a backup catcher of some sort. I'm thinking that a back up Rod Hodges. It's going to be, I think, a back up catcher. You'll find an assortment of backup catchers. You have to understand, the backup catcher exists just because it's really hard to catch in the heat every day and then you play six games in a row and on Sunday, he doesn't want to get up on Sunday morning and catch another major league baseball game. He struck out 354 more times in his career
Starting point is 00:07:10 than he had extra base hits. But his debut was 1901, none of that counts. 1901 to 1911 doesn't count for this game. Anyone born in the 1800s. I went out to go to the penalty box and everyone out there right now is trying to put states in a blank map and Figure out which state is which and I'll tell you it is bleak
Starting point is 00:07:30 Are you good at geography is this a strength of yours? Yes name 15 states No, I just named 15 states on the blank map. Oh, I thought you were like, you know geography name 15 states Do you have a list of the states or no because if you have a list then it's easy to do If you don't have the list it's harder because you'll forget the name of the state. You can just picture a map in your head. Is that what everyone does? Hmm. No. Burgy. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I was at a baseball game.

You could get it honestly or you could steal it.
Starting point is 00:09:14 He'll always choose stealing it! Stugots! Well, it's the quicker path. I mean, it's just, you know... This is the Don Lebatard Show with the Stugots! This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats. I'm very happy that we've got this guy, Stugats. This guy is what March Madness is all about. That's right.
Starting point is 00:09:33 He's the sophomore center for the Indiana State, Indiana State Sycamores. They are leading the Missouri Valley Conference. We hope to see him in the tournament later this month because of this guy. Robbie Avila is, I pronounce that with a Latin flourish. Are you Hispanic? Do you have Hispanic origin? I do yeah, my dad is Mexican his dad was from Mexico, so I'm half Mexican Yeah, I was very happy to learn of you this weekend and I learned of you because I'd never heard the nickname cream abduldjabbar I believe it to be the greatest nickname I've ever heard before a player uh... what is the history of this have you heard it before did you realize that
Starting point is 00:10:13 you were going viral all weekend because people were discovering you uh... yeah now ever since i started blown up a little bit on social medias you know you put the goggles to what kareem had and you know it's kind of it's been a lot of fun you know, you put the goggles to what Karim had, and you know, it's kinda, it's been a lot of fun. You know, I've gotten a couple of nicknames. Larry Nerd was one of them, Karim open his bar, step blurry, and so it's been a bunch of fun nicknames,
Starting point is 00:10:34 and I've seen all over social media. But yeah, no, it's just been a good time. Can you tell us about your rise and your story? How often do you get underestimated because of the goggles? Yeah, no, it's definitely not a conventional look for a basketball player. It's kind of just something you don't see too often anymore.
Starting point is 00:10:57 And so like you said, I get underestimated a little bit. I shot guys with how I play on the court, but I don't really let that affect me. I kind of just go ahead and play my game no matter what. I'm just gonna just kind of let my game through the talking. You know, if you want to underestimate me, then I wish you luck. And that's how I got to, got to say for y'all. That's it.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Is there a story behind the goggles? Is there a reason you're wearing goggles? So it's really just all a visit thing. Originally, I started playing football when I was younger and I couldn't wear glasses. They would have broke instantly. And so my mom invested in a pair of goggles. And so I kind of just started wearing that ever since, you know, once I started playing basketball, I just kept wearing that.
Starting point is 00:11:37 In high school, I thought about going to Contex. And so I tried them out real quick, but I couldn't really, you know, get it down. And then my brother came to me, he told me, he's like, Hey, you know, you're not you without your goggles. And so you can't get contacts. And so that's kind of how I just kind of stuck with him, you know, so he kind of helped me. You know, it's kind of part of my brand now. And so that's just really how I'm going to start wearing the goggles and I'm going to
Starting point is 00:11:58 continue to wear them. Which of the nicknames do you like best? Which is your favorite? See, my personal favorite, my favorite music artist is Rob Wave. And so I got one earlier near Rob Wave. And so that that's always gonna be my favorite. But I do like to create a beat you bar. Can you tell us, because one of the reasons I imagine that you get underestimated is it's a it's a Yoke-ish type game, right?
Starting point is 00:12:23 It's a little bit it's a little bit we don't expect it to be high above the rim and so when you can do things that don't seem like they're as fast as others but you're going 23 points on 80% shooting 35 points 8 boards 5 assists 22 points on 66% shooting 15 points 30 points those are are your last five games. You're averaging 25 points a game. Obviously you're menace Yeah, no Obviously, I think everybody knows I'm not the quickest guy or I don't jump the highest but I think being able to use my skills and my basketball IQ Just being able to see the game and breathe it different ways that some other people that can't do it like that
Starting point is 00:13:03 I think it kind of makes up for my lack of athleticism. So being able to play the game at my own pace, not letting guys speed me up or being under pressure, just kind of doing that myself, the calm pace that I do it at, that kind of helps me attack defenses with guys that are quicker or jump higher than me. What kind of offers did you have coming out of high school how much of uh... how much of this afflicted even the people offering scholarships because they didn't see in you perhaps what you saw in you uh... yeah a lot of my looks out of a high school came from uh... eleven sir valley teams uh... northern iowa southern all the way uh... came from a lot of the Missouri Valley teams. Northern Iowa Southern Illinois. I had a couple
Starting point is 00:13:47 other looks at it. They were the high majors, but I don't think they, I think like I said, the athleticism may have thrown them off a little bit so that where they did a pull the trigger to offer, but you know, getting recruited by Indiana State, you know, they saw past the athleticism. They saw the streaming skills that I had and the IQ that I obtained. And so that kind of jumped at me and allowed me to be able to do everything that I can here, being able to use all my skills, being able to shoot, pass, and dribble, and then being able to play under a coach's shirt, something that I just couldn't pass up on. Robby, you're an Illinois kid playing in Indiana.
Starting point is 00:14:23 I was an Illinois kid that went to school in Indiana also. We love the Midwest around here. Which I state in the Midwest is the superior state, Illinois or Indiana? 100% Illinois. My roommate is an Indiana high school kid. So we have debates back and forth about which is better, high school ball or AU ball in Illinois and Indiana. So we have the debate all the time but
Starting point is 00:14:46 i'm gonna stick to the only matter what is it accurate your listed height and weight six ten two forty uh... yeah i'm not six ten two forty five two fifty uh... do you run into a lot of people that feel physically stronger than you when you're playing uh... there's a couple guys yet uh... some dudes, you know, real strong know they're two years older than me. But I think I hold myself.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Hold my own down there in the post this year, you know, something I worked out over the summer last year as a freshman. I kind of struggled down there, but I think I've taken steps. You know, I'm not, you know, 100% at my best down there.
Starting point is 00:15:20 The post defense, but I think I definitely have, you know, make progress towards getting stronger down there. Portillo defense, but I think I definitely have, you know, make progress towards getting stronger down there. Portillo's or Culver's? That's a tough one. Uh, I think, I think because I get it less, I would have to say Portillo's, but I'm a big fan of cheese. So I love Culver's cheese curds.
Starting point is 00:15:39 What's your Portillo's order? Uh, like I said, I'm a lover of cheese. So I usually get a cheese dog with a large fry and a strawberry shake. That's usually why I'm up for a toast. That's a good order. You're not winning a lot of foot races out there, correct on your team? Oh yeah, no. So how does that one go? Like when we're running, when we're running suicides, is there, are you the slowest on the team? Are you lagging behind? I'm one of the guys in the family.
Starting point is 00:16:11 I won't say I'm the always the last guy, but I'm definitely not up there for a second or third. I'll say that. Can you tell us, when did you become good at basketball? Like when is it along the path that you knew this was the path for you uh... ever since growing up uh... i had watched the media players you know i watched kevin deramp being uh...
Starting point is 00:16:32 a seven foot guard you know watch other guys you know play play you know kevin love another big guy that can shoot i watched them so ever since growing up you know i knew i wanted to play basketball and you know over time I think it'd be probably around eighth grade, I started to realize that, you know, I was actually pretty good at it. You know, I wasn't just tall and everybody at that time, I was actually, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:52 a solid player. And so over high school, I kind of just really dug into it and started working hard, you know, in the weight room, you know, do workouts, you know, you know, five days a week. And so kind of just really started there. And I'd say after my sophomore year, I had a pretty good year with me and my teammate right now, Jason Ken. We had a really good year at Old Forest. And so that kind of started a little bit
Starting point is 00:17:15 of the buzz of going to college and playing there. And so that kind of is really when I started to realize that, you know, hey, I can play at the college level. You know, I can do that. You know, it's just been a process ever since and, you know, I'm just, uh, enjoying the journey and, uh, looking forward to, to what's next here. Were you good from the beginning or just tall at the beginning? Uh, I would say when I was younger, I was like a foot and a half tall
Starting point is 00:17:37 and everybody else, but, uh, I think I still had those types of skills. You know, my, uh, when I was in second grade, my brother was playing with his fourth grade team and, uh, I was in second grade, my brother was playing with his fourth grade team and, uh, I was able to practice and my dad was a coach. And so I got to practice with them all the time. And you know, being, being two years younger, the guy, I was really shocking because I was the only guy out there that was able to make a left-handed layup and you know, with younger kids like that.
Starting point is 00:17:58 So the skills have kind of been, you know, ever since I was little, and it was just really just polishing them and getting them better and better. You know, as I grew up. It can be awkward to be the kid who's different from the other kids. I would imagine that sports allowed you, gave you a great deal of confidence in some places that it can be hard to come by, being good at basketball. Yeah, no. I mean, obviously the goggles, you know, those people often don't even end their regular
Starting point is 00:18:22 day life too, you know, it's just not something you see. And so when I was in eighth grade, I kept breaking my actual glasses. And so my mom stopped paying for regular glasses and maybe wore the goggles just as everyday pair of glasses. So, you know, you get teased here and there, you know, bothered me a little bit when I was younger. But, you know, it's just, you know, something that comes with it. And I think sports allowed me to be able to to kind of feel a little bit more normal, you know, it's just, you know, something that comes with it. And I think sports allowed me to be able to to kind of feel a little bit more normal, you know, being able to to do whatever I went out there. You know, I have success out there. It definitely kind of took away from, you know, the little teasing here and there
Starting point is 00:18:55 when I was a when I was younger, because you were beating people up. That's why because you were scoring because you were scoring 30 a game with your left hand. Oh, yeah. Yes, sir. We go and pro next year. What are you thinking? What's happening? I haven't decided that just yet. I'm ready. I'm focused on winning more championships here. All right. Very good. Do you have a top five list for him, Stugots? Top five, what, be goggled athletes of

No, I can't argue. No, I can't say. You revolutionize the game though with the Oakleys. If you were Oakleys, I might have to drop you down too. Maybe two, three.

Starting point is 00:21:53 Excuse me, Stu Gotts. Nick, thank you so much for being on with us. Really enjoy your work. Thanks for having me. Have a great day. This is the Don Lebatard Show with the Stugots. I read recently Stugots that Walmart has, I believe the number was, can you guys look this up for me because I don't actually want to get it wrong, but has about two or three billion dollars a year sort of set aside for the idea that people are going to steal things and there's going to be all manner of credit card fraud when it
Starting point is 00:22:29 comes to the purchasing of things. The number was a number so high that I was startled by it and I got to thinking about it the other day because all around my street because Jeff Bezos has gotten ahead of everyone else in terms of being able to get you things quickly. I'm often seeing just in the street packages that are left and you can't do that in Miami and I got to imagine that it's happening all the time in New York where packages are just left somewhere outside and an inordinate amount of packages have to be being stolen because Bezos has revolutionized how quickly you can get things and people have been addicted,
Starting point is 00:23:14 have become addicted to the convenience of I don't have to go anywhere. I can just order something online and it'll get delivered. I'm not kidding you the other day. I was walking my dog at 5.30 in the morning and two different Amazon delivery men walked right past me to the hotel going past me at 5.30 in the morning because they're working all the time, they're overworked, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:36 you've got conversations going on all over the place talking about the unionization of Amazon people employees because they have to pee in their cars and stuff and they're parking in the middle of the street because there's not parking anywhere. And I just think that the need for this has become so strong, the demand that it's impossible no matter how revolutionary Bezos is to keep up with the supply without having like a bunch of extraneous extraneous spillage all over the place how much do you imagine in Miami people are stealing because the the other day I had to go downstairs and get kitty litter than an
Starting point is 00:24:15 Amazon driver jet nobody's gonna steal kitty litter but had just left on Ocean Drive had just left it outside because they couldn't get into the building because it was too too early in the morning. And I don't think that's that uncommon. So what do you imagine is the amount of thievery going on there or the budget that Amazon has for that kind of thievery? I would imagine there's a lot going on
Starting point is 00:24:37 in terms of people stealing packages. I have no idea what their budget would be. I'm still looking at Walmart for you, but that's a staggering amount for Walmart. What do you do when you get something at your house that was sent to you that wasn't meant for you, that was meant for someone else? I keep it.
Starting point is 00:24:53 It happened to me this weekend. I looked at the address and I walked like four houses down and just put it in the driveway and walked away. I do that too. I have one, like there's like a north, like I'm not gonna say my street, but there's like a north and south where it's the gonna say my street, but there's like a North and South where it's the same exact address,
Starting point is 00:25:06 just one little North or South difference. So me and this other house are always getting each other's stuff and I just, yeah, on my trip, drive it over there, drop it off, nothing. What's that person's address? I won't say it. Oh. Not surprising at all that Stugans
Starting point is 00:25:20 would make no effort whatsoever to get that package. I don't believe him. I think he's doing a thing. I think he delivered it. Depends how far the walk is. You think Stugans is going out of his way? I think he tells Abby. Like Abby, someone's got to bring this.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Abby's telling me. Are you kidding me? I feel like the amount of ring cameras that there are in the world now, we've seen these things become more prevalent because on only in date or on any of these websites are... Oh, you'll get your ass kicked like you'll have the people's ring cam being like oh look this guy just came and sold eight Packages of mine does he he drives up blue Chevy Tahoe like let's go get them There have to be people wandering around just following Amazon trucks and looking for there There has to be a crime syndicate of just stealing packages I
Starting point is 00:26:05 love a syndicate thousand percent thousand percent but they are relying on these cams outside of our front doors to protect that I believe right that has to be there are good I can't be good that just can't be good cams don't do anything that you just see the guy walk away with your package you like oh I come at work I can't oh no but there are all sorts of videos though of people getting their ass kicked and getting caught right in the middle of trying to steal that at the wrong house.
Starting point is 00:26:31 You don't want to do that at the wrong house. You can do it at Stugaz's house. There aren't going to be any consequences other than him yelling at you from the other side of the door. I'm not running after you. It's kind of a crazy game, right? Like, because most of the boxes are unmarked, so you're just stealing a box, not knowing what's in there.
Starting point is 00:26:49 So it's like a secret Santa, except you're like the Grinch. Like a secret Grinch almost. Like you're going and just stealing random things and then you surprise yourself with what you stole that day. Oh, it's Kleenex, okay. The Eye of the Sox. I know, latex gloves. I wanted jewelry.
Starting point is 00:27:01 I need drapes. Drapes. I like the idea of the criminals getting upset at the people that already like really you couldn't go to the store for this. What do you need twizzlers for? Dan I can't find the number that you're saying but according to a quick Google search Walmart claims that they lose three billion dollars to theft every year, but they earn over 600 billion dollars per year. So, hmm. The idea of three billion dollars as minor inconvenience spillage.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Spillage. A lot of Kleenex. It seems like they just chalk it up, like yep, people are gonna steal. Like they're not even worried about like, preventing it, I'm sure they have prevention, but it's just like yep We're gonna lose three billion anytime that I've gotten one of my cards like stolen or they they've ripped the number off on like a Gas station or whatever they always go to Walmart and buy a ton of shit at Walmart
Starting point is 00:27:55 I'm just like does this happen you a lot this used to happen back in the day a lot more before the scanners and all that stuff But yeah, I'm pretty sure that the reason that credit card interest rates are as high as they are is because they have to account for the amount of credit card fraud that there is. I don't think that those numbers would be as high as they are and good Lord there are a lot of people in our audience who have been swallowed by what is griff that credit card interest rate. They're also preying on the poor too. Yeah. I'm afraid to be honest. You know you're gonna put it on credit, you're not gonna pay it back, you can charge you a boatload of.
Starting point is 00:28:28 25%? Exactly. Interesting. But I think a great deal of the reason that those numbers are so high is because they have to compensate for the number of people partaking in stu-gat-see and fraud all over the place. What? Stu-gat-see it.
Starting point is 00:28:44 What? That's unfair. Stugatspook got see it. I mean, what? It's unfair. Stugotspook.com, everyone. I feel like if we went to Stugazzi's house right now, we would find drapes that had been stolen from a neighbor's fridge. I don't know any of it. I mean.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Drapes. It's all from the window. What a random thing to order, boy. My neighbor would have such a nice house. We need a new drapes. What is the laziest thing you have ever ordered? Like what is the thing that you have ordered for 45 cents that cost more in gas and delivery in boxes and Environmental damage than it did because you just didn't want to be bothered to walk to a convenience store to do it
Starting point is 00:29:22 I know I've ordered specialized salt before Wow Celtic salt. salt, really good stuff. Himalaya? No, not Himalayan, Celtic. The difference. Which way do I have to get it? taste a Miller light. It was the original light beer and to this day it is still the best one. Miller light has more the taste that you want and less of the stuff that you don't. I was at a baseball game. I love college baseball especially this time of year and thank goodness they had
Starting point is 00:29:55 Miller light on tap. I had a Miller light and you know what I did? I have to do this. Contractually. I take that first sip and then I look around. Mmm, taste buds, electrified. Yeah, Miller Lite, you were always the right call. And that's why I love you so much. Then I turn to my friend and I had a great conversation.
