When the frustration grows and the doubts start to creep in,
we all need someone who has our back.
To tell us we'll be okay,
to remind us of our ability to believe,
because their belief in us transfers to self belief
and reminds us of all that we're capable of.
We all need someone to make us believe.
Hashtag, you got this.

Let's go around the room here.
Chris Cote, you start.
Pronounce the name of the Miami Heat's point guard, please.
His name is a tough one.
Yoko Chunis?
Billy, you want to take a crack at it?
First and last name.
All right, let me see how it's spelled here.
Hold on.
Loading.
The point guard?
Is that what you said?
Tyler Hero. Nope no Davion Mitchell nope those
are the only two point guards listed on this roster well keep going the one
that's one for 15 from summer league in three games has missed all his threes and
has 12 turnovers summer league hold on I'm still riding high on Cole Swider's
performance from a couple days ago Sw Swider whip! Swider whip!
All right, we'll come back to you.
Zazz, do you have a guess here?
You wanna take a shot at it?
Jackassonus.
Mike Ryan.
Zazz nailed it.
Yeah, I mean he.
Casper Yaccachunus.
He knows though, that's cheating.
Well no, because they pronounced it differently.
Both him and Mike are pronouncing it differently.
And I wanted to present to the group the idea of when
do you have to give someone the courtesy of learning
their name because they've played well enough to force
you to earn their name.
You pronouncing it correctly.
I had to try Antetokounmpo a ton of times
before he became great on television.
Yeah, this is a bunch of American stuff,
but we still don't know how to pronounce
Yokech and Donchich.
We vacillate between Donkich and Jokech.
Just generally, you should learn
how to pronounce someone's name properly,
just because they did well.
Well, thanks, but I just asked you to,
and I still don't have any proof.
Casperus jacusonis.
Be a good player, I'll learn how your name.
Let's get ready to learn Fennibachi.
Mike is very excited,
I don't know how much of his attention we're gonna have
because in 10 minutes there's gonna be live tennis
that he wants to watch, and I can't do shows with him,
especially not on a Wild Willy Wednesday
when he's totally distracted
and not paying attention to what we're doing.
It's your American duty, if you like,
tennis to be locked in today at 9, 10 a.m.
on the grass courts of Wimbledon.
We have an American already in the semis.
We're looking to have two American males in the semis.
Ben Shelton takes on Yannick Sinner today.
Sinner should wipe the floor with him, right?
But Sinner's hurt.
He's taken MRIs, he canceled practice yesterday.
The money line on Sinner is tumbling down.
Shelton's got a real shot here to pull off a big upset
and get one step closer to perhaps having two American males
in the Wimbledon final just days after Greg Cody posited
that we're terrible at tennis.
He does have his frustrations with American tennis and he got no rebuttal from us here because Americans are not winning majors,
but we didn't talk about the fact that Americans are in the top ten for the first time in a long time.
We have three Americans in the top ten, the first time since 2006.
You have to trace back to the agacy days to find a time where there
were more, where there were just as many Americans in the top 10. And Tiafos like right on the
outside looking in, especially with hard court season coming up, he has an opportunity to
perhaps get into the top 10 right now. We may not be winning the majors and that's
going to be really difficult with guys like Alcarras and Sinner around.
However, in terms of like pound for pound depth,
you can put the United States right up there with anybody.
Where does tennis rank in terms of like
American social relevance?
You mean like in the cultural sports landscape?
Yeah, like compare, I felt like tennis used to be bigger
in America but like I also feel like a lot of things used to be like that,
and I just don't know if I'm just living a different life now.
It was bigger when we had Agassi and Sampras.
Now, Sampras wasn't really this cult of personality.
He played off of Agassi,
and Agassi was absolutely a rock star on that tour.
And yeah, Americans kinda need to see Americans winning
on the men's side to really get into it.
Keep in mind, we're the country that birthed Serena Williams. Coco Goff just won the French
Open. But for Americans to be captured by tennis, it seems to need to be a male that wins a grand slam.
Pickleball killed tennis.
Hey everybody, it's Mike down here in South Florida, as the audience well knows, we've been celebrating a proper championship and we've been enjoying every minute of it.
And by my side throughout that entire championship celebration has been Miller Lite.
Yeah, I wanted to make my championship time a Miller time because much like most of the fun memories I've had as an adult,
Miller Lite has been right there by my side, supplementing every experience.
And now that I'm about to travel during the summer, you can rest assured I'm going to be
having plenty of Miller Lite along the way, because that's what summer is all about.
And since 1975, Miller Lite has been right there in all those memories for you listening right now.

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! One of those a spit in a spittoon die right there a little piece of his soul dies
And when when did you when did the spittoon die?
When did we stop using the spittoon when did spittoon makers go out of business because they were like ah
No more places where people need to just spit. I think the plastic water bottle killed the spittoon
No big year spittoon comm biggest year they've ever had last year.
Well, was it primarily made for chewing tobacco?
Yeah.
I guess when people stopped doing that regularly.
I would love to know some of the history of the Splatoon,
whatever it is that you can get me
in terms of Splatoon information.
I've got to think that the Splatoon over the last half
century, maybe the last half century,
maybe the last century,
doesn't have a whole lot of usefulness.
I don't think spittoon makers
are having any luck in the industry.
You know what was crazy in the time of the spittoons
is people would pull up to the bar
and just pee there at the bar.
They would either have a trough below the bar stools
or they would have a bucket where people would just
whip their wieners out and pee.
You ever use a trough?
I hate it.
Yeah, I don't like people looking at my wiener.
Use a trough at Fenway Park.
Fenway Park, like, it's the 21st century.
Still doing a trough?
Yeah, I'll hold it, thank you very much.
Wrigley Field disappointed me in that regard.
Once upon a time, I'm assuming they've since fixed that,
but yes, the Orange Bowl used to have the trough
that was filled with urinal cakes.
That was one of the worst places on Earth.
It felt to me like what the bathroom would be like in hell.
Like where you're just in hell, you're wandering around,
you're being tortured, everyone jumps out of the bushes,
stabs you with pitchforks, you gotta go to the bathroom,
and then it's worse.
And trying to look at your dick too.
Wait, what are you guys expecting?
Those are like old stadiums.
The old stadiums I would want the trough.
It's just-
Like Fenway, Wrigley, those are the ones
where you're going like yeah.
Don't understand why people were just so indecent back then.
Like yeah, no, just look at everybody's meaner, it's fine.
Well, since you've now brought that up,
I wanna go to Billy here because I heard,
overheard, because to be honest,
I was listening to a conversation
that I was not involved in.
Yeah, that sounds like a betrayal.
A betrayal is coming, yes,
because I heard you this morning say to somebody
that you were talking to that your doctor asked you,
how are your privates, and your response was,
isn't that a question for you?
Well, no, it's an upcoming conversation to be had.
I'm going to the dermatologist, and the dermatologist
does like a full body scan where they see you,
they look you up and down, not in an inappropriate way,
in a professional way, that's their job.
How would you know the difference?
I don't know, but I assume that it's professional.
It always seems professional.
It's consensual, but in an appropriate way,
because I'm married, so I consent to the doctor
doing their job of looking up me up and down
in a state of undress, but not in a way that is,
you know, inappropriate to my marriage.
It's appropriate in this context for doctor reasons.
What was I overhearing though in terms of your,
it seemed like you were deeply uncomfortable
and I must have misheard,
cause I thought it was a doctor you had just gone to
and asked, or that doctor had asked you,
how are your privates?
And I thought your response was,
isn't that a question for you?
Well, so no, when they go and they look you up and down,
it's the same, it's an annual checkup that I'm going for,
but they look at my butt.
They'll tell me, all right, now,
either pull down your underwear,
we need to check out your butt,
or like last year they checked one cheek at a time,
which I thought was weird.
It's like, we just check it all at once
instead of pulling one side down and pulling it up
and pulling the other side down.
We just pull down.
Cause you're in the robe and you're just wearing your undies.
Even socks come off cause they check your feet.
Are you standing in this?
Or are you?
Yeah, yeah, I'm standing.
Is it like a kneel down, like bend over kind of situation?
No, cause they gotta check everything.
I don't know.
I'm asking.
I thought usually you put your hands on that, you put your hands on that paper,
that cruddy paper that they put over the bed.
I've never been told to put my hands somewhere.
I've never had someone lift one cheek and then lift the other.
No, they don't lift the cheek,
they lowered the underwear on one side
and it had like a half thong while they checked one side
and then they lowered the other.
And I was like, we could just pull it down
and check it all at once, we don't need to do this.
Which doctor is this?
Dermatologist.
The doctor.
Oh, so they're checking for like, I guess like.
Skin, they're checking your skin.
I have skin on my butt.
I hate to say it, I have skin on my butt.
See.
No, it's all right.
I just don't go to the dermatologist.
I, big mistake.
You gotta go.
Big mistake, gotta check.
Look at my skin.
I obviously go every year. Skin cancer.
And I recently went and the same thing happened to me,
except I didn't get the butt check.
I get the whole body, like legs, arms, neck.
Everything.
Underwear on or off?
Underwear's on.
We're in agreement that you should definitely
be going to the dermatologist.
Thank you, and I do.
And when I go, I got the same thing,
but I didn't get the butt check.
The guy basically at the end, he goes,
anything in the private areas you want me to check out?
And like Billy, I'm like, I mean,
I don't know the answer to this question.
Some of us have a cute butt that they want to check. I like to think no, but I was just like, I think I'm like, I mean, I don't know the answer to this question. Some of us have a cute butt that they wanna check.
I like to think no, but I was just like, I think I'm good.
So I never got that area checked, the butt or the front.
Well, the front, they normally just avoid,
but like the last year, they're like,
anything in your privates that you want me to check?
And I'm kinda like, I don't know.
I think everything's fine, but I don't just wanna like whip it out
and then have it be like this uncut,
like I'm trying, again, married man here, you know?
I appropriately am checked out and not ogled,
because that's inappropriate.
I'm appropriately checked in a state of undressed,
but I'm not just going to like expose everything
if it's not part of the test.
So it's kinda like, do you think you're good?
I'm like, I think so, but I don't know.
But then I'm not, so I'm just assuming I am.
So if something kills me, it's probably in that area.
Put it on the poll please, at Lebatard Show,
do you know that your privates are okay
without a dermatologist's help?
A dermatologist could find something on my arm
that I think is just a freckle or fine,
and then they're like, we need to take a biopsy of that.
So honestly too, I don't want a biopsy of that area.
It seemed like it would hurt a lot.
This is why I've said I want an older doctor.
If I have a 60-year-old, I'm like, check out my balls.
Whereas the guy's my age.
Before the thing, he's like,
oh, where do you golf around here?
We're connecting.
And then afterwards, he's like, let me see.
And I'm just like, no, I feel like we're friends now.
I don't want to show you my balls.
So you'd prefer no small talk.
Don't ask me about my golf game.
So wait, but you'd-
Do it after the check.
No, but it sounds like you'd prefer to be anonymous.
Like you don't want this person to even know your name.
You don't want anything.
They're gonna know the most intimate stuff about you,
but you don't want them to know anything about you.
So Chris, you just wanna have a glory hole dermatologist.
So you just kinda put it in, and then people check it out,
and they're like, all right, he's good.
Give me my handicap after.
Can I tell you something that I used to do?
I would think that they would tell you about your handicap
when they were looking at it.
So here's something that I used to do
along the same lines, but it's different.
So like, growing up Catholic,
you'd have to go to confession and all this stuff, right?
I would go to like random churches to go to confession.
Cause I'm like, I don't want this priest
knowing any of my dirty business.
I know that you're supposed to keep it a secret.
How dirty was your business?
Well, whatever it is, you know,
like I lied three times this month.
I don't want them to know that
because then like something happens
and then all of a sudden
then I could get like blackmailed by the priest
or the priest stands up during mass and like,
Billy Gil's a liar!
And it's like, whoa, father, forgive me for my sins.
You guys aren't going to be able to defeat me
the rest of your life in terms of the worst story
in this regard that any of us have.
Well, I haven't shown my wiener yet, so maybe.
No, you will not have a better story than me.
You're not gonna strong arm me in showing my wiener today.
We're still calling it wiener, huh?
I will use a weak arm.
Professionally.
I will use a weak arm to push you away.
I don't need a strong arm to push you away here.
There is nothing that will happen to you
at any examination the rest of your life
that is worse than my story here,
which is that I was at testicular I was at a testicular ultrasound I had my legs up in the air
and I'm as vulnerable as all of you can imagine that is and I still remember the
look the way you would if you were damaged or scarred by something between my legs of a face popping up
and saying to me at that moment, I'm such a big fan.
I like that.
How the twin's doing, by the way?
Disarming.
Worse is I get older.
This is weird for your optometrist to do.
You don't want like an icebreaker there
to kind of like, I don't know, this is weird. Any icebreaker except that one. Really? I'm gonna go ahead and
say in that region you don't want either ice or breakers. Did they give you any
details because maybe they're just a fan of your testes. No. That's an ultimate
compliment I'm a big fan. It's not the ultimate compliment. Unless it was in an unprofessional man.
That's right. Did you say I'm a married man? Non-consensual.
Yeah.
The thing that he said afterward is, and I remember this because it was just horrifying
in every way, but right after I'm such a big fan, I've been reading you since I was a kid,
and I'm just, you know, that's not the time for that.
If it was about the testes, that's really weird.
Breaking news, McDonald's international the time for that. If it was about the testes, that's really weird.
Breaking news, McDonald's international menu items
are vanishing.
McPizza bites missing in Italy.
Big Rosti stolen from Germany.
Teriyaki chicken sandwich disappears in Japan.
And a Biscoff McFlurry blackout in Belgium.
Oh, it's just in.
We can now confirm the stolen favorites
have resurfaced at McDonald's Canada.
The international menu heist.
Try them all while you can.
For a limited time in participating McDonald's in Canada.
Don LeBretard.
That was a long story.
Yeah.
It's the only kind he tells.
It's the short one for me.
I tried to speed it up for you guys.
You forgot about the League's Cup.
Stugats.
Yeah. La Carreta is a place where the best of the celebrations
has to be the 97 Marlins celebration
because it was Levante and...
Well, when Fidel died the first time.
This is the Don Leventhal Show with the Stugats.
Let me play for the folks here some video and audio
of just a tremendous golf fight. You do not get to say this very often.
I can't say for sure that I've ever around here shown a video of any kind of a golf fight.
Like what do you guys imagine a golf fight looks like?
Chris, what is your favorite part of this
video? Because as often happens with golf, some people up ahead are drunk and playing
too slowly and the group behind them gets agitated. And what happens next is that the
people who were drunk and are objecting to the people who are agitated don't know or
realize that there's a former Florida Panthers enforcer in the group that
would like them to move along a little bit and so what happens after that we're
gonna call it a fight right because but this is one-sided this is this it's not
two people fighting it's one person who's fighting and the other person is
just taking a beating. Well no but but but it's it's two active participants it's not like one guy decided all right I taking a beating. Well no, but it's two active participants.
It's not like one guy decided, alright I'm gonna beat the f*** out of you.
Like it's two active participants.
Alright, well let's play that now so that you guys can have all of the context for this.
Yeah!
Good!
Don't know what you're doing.
F***!
You're not scaring anybody.
You're just making yourself...
I don't f***ing care!
Hey!
Now he runs at the enforcer.
Come on man!
Enforcer throws him into a lake. He told him he was going to throw him into the lake too.
Hey, I told you!
You wanted to know?
He came at me!
Crawling out of the lake, going back at the enforcer.
Bang! Bang! You want to go nuts?
Helping our audio audience with the bangs. Yeah, he's saying bang every time it hits him in the face. It's he's just saying he's putting bangs in.
Enough!
Are you still cheering on him?
Enough!
Get out!
This is the best that...
Enough!
He could have kept punching him, but he just tosses him.
He doesn't want to keep hitting him.
Like he's, he doesn't want to, he knows his fists are weapons.
He doesn't hit the other guy with his fist.
He just pushes him.
Like he, it must be one of the greatest confidences in the
world to know that you can fight like that.
Who knew Mike Breen had it in him?
The bank, there are five punches to the face each of them accompanied with audio sound effects
Provided by the deliverer of the punches and the bang is like a direct hit because you're not going to say bang
If it's an Aaron. Oh, no, but keep playing it again
I want everyone to see that all of this because it's not just that he's saying bang
He's saying bang with impeccable timing.
Like he knows that that's going to land before it lands and they all land. It helps that
the other guy's drunk.
And half his size.
And before the fight actually starts, the guy who gets his ass beat does the thing of
like, I'm trying to intimidate you. What? What? And then he gets his ass beat.
Mike says that he's small, but he's not small. He's smaller
He's smaller than the other guy. I mean he's half his size
This dude has the former Panthers enforcer has a hundred pounds on this guy
He is the guy he's fighting is tiny
Thank God for this guy's friend though
Cuz this is a longer video like that one point like his drunk friend is just like he's like me in that spot
Please stop Chris
It is an absolutely wild move to get thrown into a pond and to crawl out for more you notice though
It's like he's still fighting like a hockey player because normally two guys fight
It's just you know let's throw some punches no no grab the shirt this guy's name
His name is Nick Tarnaski all right
He he grabs the drunk guy by the shirt cuz you got to hold on when you're on skates and then bang
bang I
Want you guys to imagine the drunk guys friends right now just saying to him
Do you know how hard it is to?
Almost get thrown into a lake one and three quarters times because
he got thrown into one lake and then only because he slipped in the momentum
of being thrown into the other one did he not land in a totally separate lake
like it is really hard to lose a fight this impressively when the person
winning the fight doesn't actually want to fight you
at has no interest
ability he wants to get going he was getting out of the okay but billy
he's holding up the shirts of the guy doesn't fall so you keep banging on
billy
the the second time that he throws
him almost into a lake
is
the time that he could have up turned his face into Hamburger because of how he had him lined up
and already woozy.
He was kind by taking him the second time
and just launching him.
But I just wonder which is more embarrassing to you.
I would say the next day you're with your friends, okay?
And they're like, yeah, we understand.
Your face is swollen.
That's an NHL enforcer.
What bad luck, you know?
What are the odds?
At least it's not on video. What are the odds that we would be on the golf course
and the guy we'd run into agitating
would be a guy who fought for a living,
stayed in hockey only because he was someone who could fight.
That's terrible that that would be your odds.
But then your friend say to you,
terrible face and he caught you with all five shots
and said bang each time.
However, do you know how close you were Terrible face and he caught you with all five shots and said bang each time however
Do you know how close you were to going into both lakes with your?
Deck shoes and your collared shirt and shorts like you you almost went into both lakes like one more time I just want to see the ending of this because I want to watch all of it just to see Chris
I think I have this right I think he was saying bang before the connection not a pawn connection
like it was just a pawn it was right before all of the punches landed but I
want you to see how close he was the second time to going into the second
lake and only because he's drunk and clumsy did he not go flying past that
tree that I can't believe he told him he was gonna throw him in the lake and then did
That lake was not close when he said it and the way he crawls out of the lake
Did you hear in the background the
Enforcers friend says once that guy falls into Lake. He says good start, buddy
They're also trying to deter with I'm recording this now watch here on the charge here now watch when Jason Kelsey
starts to stagger here and then charges right past him you can see Jason Kelsey's
got no shot here
He almost... He almost...
Just lawn darted.
So he almost slides through the marsh into the...
For a second time.
You have to lie to him, right?
Like if you're his friend's like...
Get it all on record.
Get it all on record.
Should have seen the other guy.
He did a great job, buddy.
Hoping that video never comes out.
At what point the next morning do one of the friends tell the guy who got his ass kicked
By the way, it's been viewed over four million times on multiple accounts
Billy the Marlins have now won
Eleven straight road games yesterday. they allow a first inning home run
and then scored 10 unanswered.
In the last month, the Marlins have won more road games
than all of the following teams combined in the last month.
Yankees, Mets, Cubs, Braves.
The Marlins have won 11 road games in a row,
the Braves have won 15 road games all season
Billy I've been telling you
The Braves are still better than the Marlins. No, they are not
Well, they're behind them in the standings their run differential is much better than the Marlins only by 52
but the Marlins can hit the baseball and I believe that that run differential over the first half of the season
has distorted because of what happened the first month.
And I don't know if it's real,
but their hitting seems real.
They clubbed the baseball.
I don't think it's a hot streak, Billy.
Are your thoughts that this is some sort of hot streak?
I don't know where it is that they-
Yes, they've won 11 straight road games,
seven out of the last 10.
Like they're hot right now, things are clicking.
I don't know that this is sustainable
or this is who they actually are.
I mean, they're still not in the playoffs.
In the wild card, they're, I think, seven games out.
But it's a fun surprise
that they're this exciting of a team.
I don't think anyone had these expectations
going into this season, but I don't know.
You're now headed towards a trade deadline
where we assume they were just gonna sell off
whatever pieces people wanted,
and now you have to wonder, do we add now?
Because you're, again, seven and a half
out of the wild card, there's so many teams
ahead of you right now that I think you trade Sandy
if you get the haul that you're hoping for,
but don't settle for anything less. I do think it's interesting, I think you trade Sandy if you get the haul that you're hoping for but don't settle for anything less.
I do think it's interesting.
I think you made the point yesterday how it's a young team.
So you would assume they're going to continue getting better.
They're going to continue improving as opposed to an older team which you know might run
out of gas.
Billy, what I'd like to know because I believe they're just below average in terms of offense
But they have not been over the last month or six weeks like they are just crushing the baseball details Dan
Over the course of the full season their 19th in runs per game. However, they're roughly
around tenth in batting average and
Fourth and ad bats per game so they're getting some looks
and fourth and Ed bats per game, so they're getting some looks. Looks, I don't know that plate discipline is great, but they do hit the ball. You just
don't believe in it yet, right Billy? You're not going to believe this kind of winning
on the road and they're beating teams that are winning teams, right? The Reds might just
be a 500 team, but they are still, they go into the series as a winning team. 11 in a
row on the road, I'm gonna say it again,
that's more than the combination of the Braves,
Yankees, Mets, and Cubs have on the road since June 12th.
That's not merely a surprise.
Yeah, that's baseball.
I mean, who records things since June 12th?
Fair enough.
That's a Tim Reynolds stat, incidentally.
That is not my stat.
You can say that is just baseball,
but where are you on this team?
You're not gonna give them your hope yet.
You don't believe it.
It's certainly, you're not meeting this
with anything other than, like publicly,
right now talking about it.
You're meeting it with skepticism.
You're not meeting it with enthusiasm.
I thought last week, like, you didn't like
that they were playing well.
I didn't?
Yeah, I went to the game, they lost.
No, no, what I mean is, you didn't like that you were gonna be, you were gonna have emotion
in this team.
You didn't expect that you were gonna have to care about this team.
Oh, I didn't want to be emotionally invested in it.
Yes, yes.
No, it's fun.
I mean, it's exciting.
And when they come back to town, like I would encourage anyone to go out and watch them.
They're a fun young team.
It's not exactly reminiscent of the 2006 Marlins
that everyone fell in love with.
That was the surprise.
Team was like, wow, Jorge Cantu, Mike Jacobs, Dan Uglah,
all of them, right?
Where it's like, I can't believe they might go on a run.
Are they gonna make the playoffs?
That's how I guess you could compare them.
I wouldn't say I have that feeling about them,
but it's a fun team and it's young pieces
that you could theoretically build around.
And so far we're seeing that Peter Bendix got a lot of these guys when they were just out there
for anyone to have. And he's made them, you know, a competitive-ish team. I don't think that this is
a team that's going to get to the playoffs and go on a long run in the playoffs, but I mean,
it's a surprising team.
It's a fun young team.
I just want games that matter the second half of the season.
I mean, it's a matter to what extent?
You know, like.
That you're interested in.
Yeah, no, you can be interested in.
I don't, again, I don't think that they're gonna go on
like a long playoff run here,
but it's a fun team to watch.
It's an exciting team.
They're never totally out of it.
Even the other day, the 4th of July,
they ended up losing that game, but they had runners on first and second down one in the ninth inning. Like it's an exciting team. They're never totally out of it. Even the other day, the 4th of July, they ended up losing that game,
but they had runners on first and second,
down one in the ninth inning.
Like it was a fun game.
How many are they back right now?
Seven.
They're seven and a half in the wild card,
they're 10 in the east right now.
No, forget about the east.
If you're, yeah, remember that, forget about that.
If you're within five games, you know,
when you get into August, you got a team you can watch.
I mean, the thing though, Zazz, is that now
with the three wild card spots, everyone's in it, you know?
Like back in 2003 when it was like a wild card
and it was five teams, five games back,
you're like, okay, I can get it.
Now, virtually everyone is in it at some point in the season,
but if they keep playing, they're gonna,
they could get that third spot. I mean, just two years ago, they were in the playoffs. They'll probably keep playing, they're gonna, they could get that third spot.
I mean, just two years ago, they were in the playoffs.
They'll probably keep playing, right?
Yeah, no, they're gonna keep playing.
I think, I would think.
I think that's a good assumption.
By the way, I have a quick update.
Splatoon's still very popular at wine tastings.
Yeah.
Well, yes, that's not what I'm talking about, though,
but fair enough.
Used as a, I guess it's still used as a Splatoon
when you're spitting out wine,
but the sound that we're playing of a ting off of a spittoon, that is tobacco juice.
Yeah, were people like eating BBs? Like what makes that sound?
It's a good question. Because it sounds more like a bullet than it does spit.
It's when men had gusto in their spit.
Now people spit willy nilly.
Oh, shows us how to spit.
Show us how to spit.
You really want me to spit?
Yeah, yeah.
Spit at Mike's cup right there.
No, Tony, don't listen to him.
Please don't listen to him.
You're bad.
It's Wild Billy Wednesday,
then I have to listen to everything he says.
I want to see how men spit.
You did the loogie thing, so is it in your mouth now?
No, no, it was dry.
Okay.
The only way that would have worked
if it had been hanging from Billy's face by the end of it.
Why?
I wanted to so bad.
Tony wants to teach us how to mince.
Don LeBretard.
I may take it one step further.
Wait a minute, we haven't, wait a minute, wait, wait.
You're getting sexier by the moment.
Slow down, slow down.
We haven't even gotten.
Stugats.
Jason Sanders, you're on notice.
Yeah!
Oh, wow.
Oh my god!
What in spite of him!
Ho ho ho ho ho ho!
Oh wow!
I love you, Duke.
This is the Don LeVatar Show with the Stugats!
So I want to know from the group what you guys imagine the reaction the drunk guy, the
drunk golf guy would have had if as he's squaring up, flexing and sort of doing a gorilla scream
trying to intimidate a former NHL enforcer.
If I had gone up to him at that point,
because I don't know what's the drunkest
any of you have been, and said to him,
look, according to hockeyfights.com,
this guy has 167 professional hockey fights.
Do you wanna change your mind
about that primal gorilla scream you did in their face?
Like how drunk would any of you have to be to not be
dissuaded by that information as you're squared up
and screaming and saying, you know what,
I understand that alcohol dilutes my discernment,
my judgment is not good, I apologize sir,
nevermind, I've had too much to drink.
Hockey guy's friends there need to almost protect
hockey guy by being like, he's a hockey player.
He fought for a living.
Like there's none of that there.
There's not, I mean, they were so drunk.
I don't think so.
I don't think that would have stopped it
cause those guys were just so drunk
that I don't think they were thinking.
Hockey player clearly did not want to fight.
The other guy literally charged at him.
I'm not, I'm not blaming the hockey player
But I'm just saying it's somewhere before the fight one of hockey players friends could have been like you don't want this noise
This guy used to fight for a little that's what your friends say though
They don't that's what your friends say when they're next isn't it enough for hockey player to tell them
I'm going to throw you into the lake isn't that enough warning to not fight me now see that's not enough that
I'm gonna throw you into the lake is not the warning
of according to hockeyfights.com,
this guy has fought 167 times in the NHL, HL, and ECHL.
I know this golf scene.
I see what's happening here.
This guy needed just a turkey sandwich at the turn.
Little Sammy.
Like I'm telling you, a guy who got his ass beat.
He's so drunk.
I've been out there where you're just letting loose.
It's a weekend day, you're having fun.
Around the turn, you gotta knock down that turkey sandwich.
You gotta put something in there.
It's tough to be that drunk
because at around like six holes in,
you're like, all right, let's get a snack.
Let's nosh on a little something here.
That's 16th hole, probably no food.
That dude's just free-basing 151.
The guy who got beat up,
what do we guess his line of work is? Why are we doing that? You think that he's got a line of work
that is- I'm wondering when that video is viewed four million times does his employer look and say,
I don't know if it's the right place for you anymore. It depends. Do you want to buy a house
from the guy that's viral for getting beat up or. Do you want to buy a house from the guy that's viral for getting beat up or
do you not want to buy a house from that guy?
You'll buy a house from anyone?
What's the interest rate?
From anybody dude. Have you seen the prices out here in Kendall?
You'll get a good interest rate. I'll buy it from that guy.
Hard out here.
I really don't understand what you're saying there when you say I'll buy a house from anyone.
They're saying Cape Coral is the ground zero for the next housing crisis.
The thing is I work here in downtown Miami, it's a really long drive like Stu Gotz from I'll buy a house from anyone. They're saying Cape Coral's the ground zero for the next housing crisis.
The thing is I work here in downtown Miami,
it's a really long drive like Stu Gotz from Cape Coral
over here, so yes, at this point,
I will buy a house from anybody.
I don't care who it is, as long as the price is right.
Thank you for mentioning Stu Gotz.
He has arrived in Tahoe and we encourage all of you
to check out the new YouTube channel, Stu Gotz.
God bless football and Stupatty. That's not the channel. You've got
StuTube with StuGott's. Let me help the audience and you. It's youtube.com slash at StuGott790,
same as his social handles. It's super easy to find. All you have to do is go to StuTube and he
is there. Let's play a clip from Stuugat arriving. He has arrived in Tahoe and
Billy has been wise enough not to go on this trip because there are gonna be hard times with
reimbursements if Stugat is taking control of his own vehicle and Taylor has already learned this the hard way.
I'm trying to check into the hotel. They're like, hey, there's no card on file. I said, okay
That was could it could have seen that one coming a mile. I paid for your hotel. What do you mean?
They said there was no card on file. I put my card on the file. They
This is this is a he said she said right now and what I'm telling you
She said at the the register right is there's no card on file. What I'm telling you is she is a liar
the register is there's no card on file. And what I'm telling you is she is a liar.
You think she double charged you?
Yeah, I do.
I'm not worried.
Yes.
Did you pay cash?
No, card.
Taylor's gonna get such a sunburn out there.
My God.
I don't know.
Put a hat on, man.
Billy, do you have any post-traumatic stress disorder there?
PTSD? No.
No, I've never been to Tyler.
This is the closest that I came to going.
I've heard that it's very nice, very nice.
But I felt like I'd leave you guys in a bad spot
if I just disappeared for a week on short notice.
I didn't wanna, you know.
That's the only reason you didn't go?
Well, no, I mean, it was one of the reasons.
There's a lot to take into consideration.
Including the lack of reimbursement
that would come from flying.
Well, that was part of it too, yeah. I want my kids to go to college, so I kinda need to, you know, make wise financial decisions.
And he had a dermatologist appointment.
I have a dermatologist appointment and also, it's Prime Day, like I gotta save my money
for the deals, you know?
Are you gonna be active today on Prime Day?
Are you gonna crush it?
Do you look forward to Prime Day?
You love a bargain.
I used to, but not so much anymore. I didn't even look yesterday. My wife started sending me
all this stuff because as... They love money. So I was there and my wife was like... Everyone loves money.
Well, yeah I know. Wives. Are you saying wives aren't people, Dan? Everyone, just everyone.
Well, yep. You're on the wrong side of this. Yeah, that's what I'm saying Billy.
I'm saying wives aren't people. That is what I was saying.
I'm just trying to figure out.
That is what I was saying.
Keep trying to protect Dan from himself.
I am.
That's what I'm trying to do here.
He's going to step in it here.
Wives, put it on the poll.
Our wives people.
Try to give him the right YouTube channel.
He undercuts it.
It's YouTube.
It's easy to find.
Trying to protect him from sexism.
I mean, if you want car seats, there
is a car seat, very big discount if you want a car seat.
Let's go to minor league baseball here and a minor league I mean, if you want car seats, there's a car seat, very big discount. If you want a car seat, plan ahead.
Let's go to minor league baseball here
and a minor league baseball video
that I was not expecting to see today.
I will tell you again, as I have often said
about referees and umpires,
the longest lament that there is in sports
is to lament the officiating.
But I have said many, many times before
that the complaining about the officiating uh... is generally pretty
weak but beyond that what's the point of having judges if you aren't going to
allow them to use judgment and just
stick to the letter of the rules so the letter of the role here is that this
picture should be called for a balk but you tell me
whether it's fair to call this particular minor league pitcher for a balk
sir with nobody out
one-and-one the cannot paulie
hughes crash of lightning is contrary
kate
and it's a ball
all that about the everybody's job
mother nature gives Jacksonville
a run. It's two to one and Norfolk is arguing the call. But I don't know how you can argue
that. Unfortunately, don't know how. No, don't do that. I want to say the F word so bad right
now. Get out of here for the audio audience. The pitcher starts his windup and in the middle,
the lightning strikes and he just gets jolted by it and stops
His leg was up and he just stopped. He did not get jolted. It was super loud and scary
Everybody on the field jumped including mr. Tough guy umpire. Hold on a second
I want to just show the audio audience what they just
Realized a second ago because Chris tried to be helpful for the audience and used the word jolt
Which now has us showing video of a pitcher being struck by lightning
Collapsing on the mound being smoldering and the ump coming out and saying that's a balk
Figuratively jolted. I'm not sure that umpire wouldn't have ruled that
Jolted is the exact
I see that jolted
I see that jolted
When I say if you're trying to describe something for the audio audience that does not confuse them about a strike of lightning He was startled
Jolted makes it sound and Zazz is right about that
If that umpire is calling a balk in that situation,
what's preventing him from calling a balk in the situation
where the pitcher has been struck by lightning
and struck dead by a bolt that has jolted him?
That's ridiculous.
I mean, a meteor falls into center field balk.
Like, come on!
Put it on the poll at Lebatard show,
would the umpire call a balk if the pitcher saw a meteor strike the foot of the mountain?
They're there to interpret the rules, right?
That's quite literal. Everyone on the field jumps because a huge...
Why is this game being played, by the way?
That is lightning that is very close by.
You can't be doing that. You hold your arms up and no harm, no foul.
Everybody understands what happened.
But can you entertain the hypothetical please?
If this umpire is willing to call this in this situation,
then he also in the name of consistency has to call it
if the pitcher has been struck by lightning
and lost a leg during the middle of his kick.
If they were jolted.
Well, hold on a second in a dark night.
Didn't Troy, Paul, and Malou keep playing as the field was completely falling
apart. They didn't stop play on that. Like once the play is going on,
you got to play where the Baines there or not. It was Heinz ward. I think not.
Troy Paul was it. Yeah. But either way, they both gave a 110%.
Thank you, Tony.
Consistency, right?
It should be accurate if you're willing as you're always willing to help Billy,
you should do so with the correct information.
I thanked him.
Be weird. Troy Palamolo returning a kick,
which is what the opening scene is where he has the kick off and then he returns
the kick for a touchdown is Troy Palamolo.
Fair.
Be weird returning a kick is also weird.
Yeah.
True.
Really wasn't his game.
You know, no ACL just Just didn't have one.
Like born without it? Just didn't have an ACL and had a Hall of Fame career arguably.
Is it arguable or is it? No, he's not in the Hall of Fame. Should he be? Nope, that's why he's not in.
That's why Zaslow's a judge. He's a professional judge, and I think he would agree with my assessment.
What's the point of having judges if you're not going to ask them to use their judgment?
Anyone can protect the letter of the rule. You have judges to protect the spirit of a rule.
Anyone watching that would say, if everyone on the field was startled by a lightning bolt
That should be an exception. No one neither manager
Nobody in either dugout would complain if the umpire said I'm not gonna call that a balk
That is an understandable time for the pitcher to flinch the manager came out to confront the umpire
Like what does the umpire say to him the manager definitely came out said yo what the hell there are lightning delays in baseball why can't
that just be hey the game is paused precisely of all the rules to enforce
there how about the weather ones oh and by the way I don't know we mentioned it
like the block brought in a run yes everybody advanced go shrimp by the way
Heinz Ward nine-time semi-finalist.
The resume suggests that eventually Hines Ward
should get into the Hall of Fame all-time leader
in receptions and receiving yards for a storied franchise
and touchdowns.
Greatest blocking receiver maybe of all time.
You're gonna be waiting forever.
And the name of accuracy is Dark Knight Rises,
not the Dark Knight.
Thank you, Billy.
Number two, you know me, I like my facts.
An important distinction.
Well, Dark Knight Rises, was that?
I think that was number three.
Without it being a spoiler alert,
Hindsward. Name of accuracy.
Tony, I can't remember.
Third one. Hindsward,
what happened on that kick return?
Did he fall into the field?
No, he scored. No, he was safe. Other people on the Bain side. If the umpire was doing
that game, he would rule the touchdown. The referees did rule a touchdown. They
were looking back, but shocked, and then threw their hands up in the touchdown.
