The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBattard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries

if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar. This episode is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. So Stugatz will let this go after this,

and we will get to Stugatz's weekend observations in a second, but Karl Banks, do any people in the shipping container know who Karl Banks is, or why the name Karl Banks is an important one? Of course, cousin of Fresh Prince Will Smith. Karl Banks is a former champion linebacker for the New York Giants, and he says, Dugats,

Gionati's take, which one is Gionati? Is it Gio or is it Sal? Gio is ripping cat. Gionati? Yeah. Best guess here, yeah. I don't know whether it's Sal Gionati or Gio Gionati. It's a fair question, Dan.

I'm with you. I don't know. Look, those New York gas bags who get manned, I've been listening to them for 30 years on that platform. They all run together. They're all named Gionati. Carton Gionati, Stugat Gionati, they're all Gionati. Said Gionati and Doug Gionati.

They're all felons. They're all people whose opinions you cannot trust and Carl Banks says of Gionatti quote This is genuinely pathetic calling a man you've never met a loser says more about you than it ever could about him I've known cat his family since he was a kid Bonafide There's absolutely nothing about him that resembles a loser try being a better human instead of broadcasting this ignorant shit loser geos responses you still only fifty dollars from an appearance i made in pittsburgh

that a boy that his sports pretty evident in ten and two thousand ten geos says you owe me fifty dollars from an appearance i made fifteen years ago better come back that one or greg Doyle you can read about it tomorrow Forgive me. I've got it wrong. It was $500 not $50 50 bucks cheap. Yeah my fault 500 is pretty good for 2010 nice 2010 that's the car now Carl Banks was paying pretty well. I would say During that I don't know why he would be why Why would Banks be paying? I don't know.

Did he run a radio station? I don't know. I don't know why Gio is accusing Banks of owing him $500. Perhaps he thinks his last name is literal on Banks. Uncle Phil had a lot of money, man. They lived a nice life in Bel Air. Thank you, Amin.

Please keep that joke going. I'll show. I think it's a winner. The thing that's happening in the kitchen right now. Not unusual. The thing that's happening in the kitchen right now is both upsetting to me and insulting to Billy. Billy yesterday is an act of kindness,

brought in pastelitos. He was accused yesterday of just bringing over leftovers from a weekend party at his house. Looks like two have been eaten. And two and he's eaten them both. They're still there from yesterday. Wait, that's yesterday's food? Yeah, just the pastelitos. Some are saying it's actually from Sunday, but.

Somehow the sandwiches look like they're yesterday's. The sandwiches were put there today and they have been eaten by the Wolverines who live here. The pastelitos have been left alone. Sandwiches look like they've been eaten by the Wolverines who live here. The pastelitos have been left alone. Sandwiches look like they've been there three months. They're dangerous too though, because those sandwiches often have like hidden toothpicks in them where like they can rip open your innards. Having said that, I've just had one of the sandwiches,

you know what, finger food, because I had it, I went, and that's it, I'm clean. That can't be a finger food, it's a sandwich. It's a finger food, when they cut it up, when they cut it up into quarters like that, A sandwich quarter can be a finger food? It becomes a sandwich It's a finger food when they cut it up when they cut it up into quarters sandwich quarter can be a finger It becomes a finger food if it was a full sandwich No Put it on the pole is a full sandwich a finger food because that was a full sandwich and they've just been cut up in pieces

Again, we're getting off point the sandwiches are one thing they were put there today and you have seen what happened bacon sandwiches gone First off the shelf they fly out to God's grabs Just the bacon from inside them walks around with grease on his fingers No plate just eats the bacon you see that nothing around here can stay out without being eaten Except for Billy's pastelito's for my act of kindness the first thing in the history of our Consumption that I have seen just sit there. There's been some gluten-free stuff at Jess Springs that we've kind of let sit there. This is the part though that I wanted to ask

both Tony and Billy because you may have noticed that Amin, being in South Florida just occasionally, has developed a great many cultural impressions locally where he'll have food like flan for breakfast and i don't know cubans who will have flan for breakfast because that's a dessert but amine has absorbed the local culinary treats i'm offended man you think flan is just yours man flan is a is a global phenomenon when i grew up in sudan it's called creme caramel creme caramel that could be also spanish too

again creme caramel is different than flan. Flan is the Cuban one. And it's all the same thing. It's not all the same thing. They're all the same thing. They're not all the same thing. I will say, Amin loves Hispanic food, Amin loves Cuban food, he's always in it.

When there's baka frita, he's there, the first one eating it. So I'm gonna give him a commemorative Cuban. Congratulations, Amin. My brother. Congratulations. So he can talk give him a commemorative Cuban. Congratulations. I mean, my brother, congratulations. He can talk about the battle. It was if you need well, but the opposite of that I would say is to God's to God's has lived in South Florida all his life. He looked at the pasta lead those and said, what are those? Yep. Come on. I mean, you did. You know what

they are. I know it's I've never had one. You've never you've you've lived here for 20,000 years. You've never had a bottle. never you've met you've lived here for 20,000 years You've never had a pastelito ever. I know I can't that's not true. You've had it You just didn't know what it was called perhaps the flakiness the Wawa he doesn't cheese Yes, he would like it But apparently no one likes Billy's pastelitos because I can't I can't tell you how rare it is for a dessert to last five Many things you know what you want me to be honest then you want my honest opinion They're dry a little on the dress on cycle. I mean come on. You're you got here a day after they arrived

I know we're here yesterday right now. They look dry when Gino rejects it You got to take a look in the mirror and they arrived the day after they were made I took a look at the mirror and and I'm proclaiming right now, I'm never doing anything nice for this office again. The bacon you got them from, is that a usual place for you or is that something that you're like, oh I'm kinda cool so I'll just get them. Don't worry about where I got it.

They're never gonna be in this office again. Neither will a kind gesture for me. I haven't tasted them. I'm telling you right now, look, I would not describe myself as overly nice. I would also not describe myself as overly mean. I would describe myself in this office setting as quiet and I somewhat keep to myself. I have my little groups, I go in and talk to my groups,

I come in, I do my job, and I go home. But I will say this, I could create a lot more problems in this office based on my stature here than I do. And if my kindness is gonna be rewarded with not eating my kindness, then we may start experimenting with how far I can stand. I And if my kindness is gonna be rewarded with not eating my kindness, then we may start experimenting

with how far I can start pushing things here in this office. Problems are coming. I'm just saying, I tried, I tried. And I view this as an act of war by everyone. I was told by someone this morning, with a straight face, with a straight face, while Dan was out there trying to stir things up, saying, look, no one's eating your pastelitos, hee hee hee,

and he was trying to rub it in my face and get me angry with my coworkers. I was told by someone, while they're almost mid-bite eating something else, that the reason that they could not eat my pastelito is because they were on a diet. Mid-bite, eating something else. Chris was there, he witnessed this conversation.

I was told, I can't eat this, I'm on a diet. She was eating deviled eggs. I saw her. I didn't say who was. What did we all agree? That's healthier than a pastelito. I'm just saying. It's a healthier option. It was a soft boiled egg.

I'm quiet. I keep on my best behavior. But if people are going to be agitating me and poking the bear, I can make messes. There are people here that make messes behind the scenes. They come on here and they do their thing and then behind the scenes they go and they throw their weight around. That's not me, not me friends. I come in and I keep to myself. I punch in and I punch out.

Then I walk across the street in the rain to the parking spot that I got across the street, which we don't have to talk about while I play human Frogger every day trying not to get hit by a car. Sometimes wondering if I do. I mean, birds gonna have to pay for that one. But if I bring you pastelitos.

Wait, so I can't politely decline because of a diet? No, don't lie to my face and tell me you're on a diet while you're scarfing down a bunch of other shit. What? This is what happened. I mean, if you want a diet, it's not believable. This is what happened yesterday, and it's the truth. Billy put the pastelitos down, This is what happened yesterday and it's the truth.

Billy put the pastelitos down and Chris tried to soothe Billy by saying, among other things, it's a Monday. Generally, people are dieting on Monday. The pastelitos, the dry pastelitos would have been eaten if it had not been Monday. Thursday or Friday, though, smack. Anything goes. And by the way, Ethan, cut that shit out trying to now give me piti posilito. You know what, they're going in the trash. This is done.

Oh wow. Whoa, whoa. Don't throw them away. Get them now. Don't throw them away. Belly not one. Tony hasn't tried one. Get them now.

I'm on a fast. Get them now, guys. I tried, Dan, no more. He's still in here, all right. Now he's going. My response to people on a Monday are dieting was not when there's good food available. Which is fair.

Monday is never a problem. I have never seen anything in our history just not consumed in any way. Look how hard the bite he had to take was. That was a hard bite. He had the sprinkles. Dry, dry. Oh, he's stopping back, he's stopping back. I'll take one of these. It was a hard bite. He's not giving him away anymore. Now he's keeping, he's going to spike. Are these guayaba? What are they? Tony, there's

no cheese in here. I was going to throw them away, but that's wasteful and I'm not doing that. Tony, get your hands on one. Let's see how hard they are. I'm going to fast. I can't. Just give it a feel. Try that,, Tom. Manito, I try. Slapped the shit out of your hand. You won't let me grab it. Billy, can I try one? No, you cannot. I didn't say anything bad about them.

You're going to try one this morning. You're not having anything. I've never had one before. This would be my first. I want to try one. You'll never have a first. Never. Do you want water?

I can get you water. I don't want water. You're delicious. He definitely needs water. You better have water. You better have water. He's going to choke. Because those things are like eating sandpaper. Delicious sandpaper. It's not nice, man. He definitely needs water Delicious sandpaper sandpaper from the finest beach. It's gotta

Kind act yeah, I've got the sandpaper from Barbados beautiful pink sandpaper The pastelito needs cheese like you're going you Tony would you agree? That I think I think that if you have a wayava Patalito it needs to be very soft right the the the flakiness of the pastelito dough needs to be extremely soft So when you bite it you have the contrast of the softness with the guava if you're gonna have guava and cheese together You can get away with a little bit of a harder shell because you have more of the crunch Because you need more to grab to then pull it out it Requires though the cheese this is what has happened here that is Billy just said the cheese ruins it That's never been said about anything like cheese. No cheese makes everything better Everything's like tasty cheese like cream cheese in the middle of guayaba. Oh, no, not for me. So good

Well, cuz you guys are idiots. It's great. I appreciate a good thing That may be so I will say though that when you make the Gift from yesterday's party Something that stands in the kitchen for two days and gets drier if that doesn't also have cheese I'm like, this is the cheapest bakery thing there can be as As not in this economy friends Whoo, so I asked what bakery did you get it from? It was like a local spot. Is it somewhere that you go?

I have told you guys before that I've seen the carnivores and the Wolverines around here They leave with pastelito flakes in their pockets when the pastelitos are good fresh Something was deemed cardboard Fresh. Something was deemed cardboard here. Something was deemed basically. Yeah, the hearts of all these assholes I work with. That's what's cardboard. Try to be nice, share with you a moment in time. Something from my child's birthday the day before.

Yes, it was racist. You had leftovers that you just wanted to dump on us. Come on, like what are we doing here? I could have dumped them on my wife's coworkers. I'm telling you right now. She dumped something else on their coworkers. She brought something to the rest of them. No.

No. She had the bocaditos. They got the good ones. Those got eaten. Those evil. No, they ended up not even making it to the office. That was a plan, but then they're like, you know what? Those are staying with us.

Yeah, exactly. Those stayed home. This is what happened. I go to the thrift store, I grab my receipt for the things that I've bought to Goodwill, and those were things that I was otherwise going to discard, and now I'm getting a tax deduction on something that looks like charity.

Billy might as well have brought those in in the garbage bag from the garbage can that was behind his house after the party. I think we all had the same reaction. You've never been to a thrift store. No, I go to the Salvation Army all the time. Do you?

Yes, why would I lie about it all the time? Tax write-off store. You asked for a receipt there. You want a receipt? I'm like, no, I just want to be kind. Take a selfie next time. Here, this is charity. Salvation Army, the week.

Again, though, it feels like an act of generosity. All I'm doing is getting things out of my house. Billy, the question is, did the lady at the bakery call you mi amor? No more questions. Don't talk to me. Folks, listen up. It's an interesting time for business.

I want to talk about a team that I actually want to see come playoff time. I want to see the Chiefs. Oh, Stugats. I want Patrick Mahomes strolling into my stadium with max confidence. I want Stu Gatz. I want Patrick Mahomes strolling into my stadium with max confidence. I want Travis Kelce. I want Taylor Swift. I want the team that lost to Jordan Love. I want the team that lost to Aiden O'Connell. I want the team

that trailed 17 to nothing to Jake Browning. That is the team that I would like to face in the playoffs. That's the team indeed that I would want to face in the playoffs because that team is not very good. This is the Dunne LeBattar Show with the Stugats. Time now for Stugats' weekend observations. It is time for Stugs to share his game notes no one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy Stu I struggle throwing things away man, I do I don't like partying with things from my childhood or my past, I'm a hoarder you throw things away? I do?

hmm, interesting, anyway weekend observations from a hoarder. You throw things away. I do. Hmm. Interesting. Anyway, weekend observations brought to you by Miller Lite. Dan, it was once bigger than Oprah, the biggest podcast in the world. But after Project came up and took precedence. It got lost in the shuffle. But Dan, a fire has been lit deep inside of me. And this underdog is ready to rise because Dan, I brought it back. And just like that, make no mistake about it.

The Stupotity podcast feed is still alive And back nice I had no idea where it was I got a notification I had to dig around I had to find it and still got not to interrupt you But it's kind of like in the movies where you get like on the radar They think every ship has been destroyed in on the radar get the boop boop boop. What's that? It's too party It never died. Yes, that, boop. What's that? It's Stupality. It never dies.

Yes, it's Stupality, it's still alive. It was at the bottom of the depth of the ocean. It's on its way back up. Like, comment, subscribe, unsubscribe, resubscribe. That's how you made us bigger than Oprah. Do it again. New York Knicks, the rare team that was built to beat the Celtics,

but not win a championship. They were built to beat the Celtics and no one else. They really hadn't accounted for the architectural flaw of what if the team ahead of you isn't the Celtics. What if you don't meet them in the Eastern Conference bottom? Worldwide West is going over to Leon Rose and saying we didn't think of this We had it figured out for the Celtics. Why didn't we do it for the Pacers? It's like this there's something about Mary was like five-minute abs. He's like, that's great until someone comes out with four minute abs Not wait. No, no, that's five minute at New York added Mikkel Bridges and Carl Anthony towns Just to lose to the same Pacers team the you call your superstar a loser. You that's exactly right.

You know, he also pack it up. Season's over. That was funny to watch Thomas Bryant at the center of all. Where'd he come from? He was more active in that series on defense than Carl Anthony Towns was. The Thomas Bryant minutes. Yes. Cat not a

winning player. In fact, the Julius Randall, Carl Anthony Towns trade, the rare trade that went from a win-win to a lose-lose. I'd like to put in front of the group the person in sports that most deserves this loser label that so many people are willing to give if somebody has expectations that come with winning and then they lose.

It's gotta be Catter Durant, loser. Carl Anthony Towns. I don't believe that Kevin Durant is viewed as a loser anymore. That's not, I don't think that's a real thing. Has it ever been a thing? Do you guys have any nominees for this? Like somebody who is just considered a loser?

Like, because. Career loser? nominees for this like somebody who is just considered a loser like the career loser not but just it can't be just loses it has to be you have expectations for that person because of their gifts like Ben Simmons would be somebody who would get this Jerry West went to the finals nine times only one once Mike Trapp he's the logo Mike Trapp's shouldn't be the logo. It should be Jordan. But Jerry West is a good one. I don't think that people do loser on Mike Trout. They know he's great in place for a bad team. They're not doing it. They should.

It's him and Otani. They couldn't do anything. Otani got away from one year later. Boom. Champion. What is it? Loser. Yep. I've never felt older. Loser. Than somebody trying to explain to me What the pink drugs were that Stefan digs had on that boat? What were they? I don't know pop rocks Combined with because now the Patriots are doing investigations and stuff right it's a whole you do

It's a whole thing they kind of have to you investigate. It's what you say that franchise When I see they're doing that I'm like, that's good. They have to be back to work by the way running drills on Monday They have to say they're doing it to they actually do it. They don't have to really do it. Just say that you're doing it Just give the impression that we're like the Dolphins Have any of you guys got an explanation, please forgive my lack of Have you guys got an explanation? Please forgive my lack of intelligence when it comes to drugs. Are there theories being floated on exactly what that was because you would have to explain it to me?

Drugs? In the Ronald McDonald, there were no drugs? Yeah, someone said. What are you talking about? So no one's gonna help me with this. Okay, great, thank you. No but. Never felt older.

Thank you, thank you everybody. So you guys don't know what the Pop Rocks were or what combines with the Pop Rocks? This is not Pop Rocks. To make it drug use. I call it the pink. Okay. Toasty.

Whoop. Whoop. Toasty. Fine. Not Stove Top. It's told allegedly, some people might think, allegedly, it could be ketamine and cocaine. Oh, no way. Some people might say.

No. Not necessarily. Was it confirmed that Elon Musk was indeed tripping on ketamine in the White House? And there is video of this and also pissing himself because we've got drug addicts in the White House. Confirming. Can't control their bowels. I don't think he took a drug test after so we wouldn't be able to confirm.

No, I can confirm it. Just get me, put it behind me. Just, Elon Musk clearly rolling at the White House. Put it behind me. Confirming. Dan, we can't confirm it, but we can confirm it. Confirming. Hey, Dan, to feel old Mike Cameron's son is a brewer what yeah oh yes like father like son the brew crew Mike Cameron Sampson saying Bill Simmons is jealous of Pablo Turi for his Bill Belichick reporting.

Ha, close your eyes and picture this. There should be a superhero called Company Man. He carries a briefcase. Hey David, Bill Simmons sold the Ringer for $250 million in no world and I mean none. Would Bill Simmons ever be jealous of Pablo Torre? I'm just saying, I love Pablo but there is no scenario where Bill is jealous of Pablo. That's not happening. I'm jealous of Bill.

I have a confession. There's no scenario where Bill is jealous of Pablo. That's not happening. I'm jealous of Bill. I have a confession. When you said Mike Cameron's son, for whatever reason, I thought of Kirk Cameron. Get out of here. Wow, Kirk Cameron has a son who plays baseball. All right. But why would we feel old, though?

I don't know what you're doing there. Kirk Cameron having a son. But he never played baseball. I know. That's what makes it weird. I know. All right. You done it.

Minor penalty, two minutes stumbling. It may not have involved, allegedly, if this is what it was. While sometimes called pink cocaine, it may not involve actual cocaine. It doesn't have, rarely has cocaine actually. Ketamine and MDMA, which some people refer to as MOLI. Confirmed. If you did cocaine though, when someone trotted out pink cocaine, would you snort it?

I mean, if you do coke, yeah. My coke needs to be white. It's a batch red, yeah. I'd feel like someone, you know, probably put something in it, you know? Right, it might be a gender reveal with a little cocaine, yeah. Cocaine. Yeah.

Loser. Pascal Siakam. Loser. Is what Heat fans think Bam Atabayo should be. Yeah! Woof. That hurts. Pascal Siakam looks like he's 54 years old.

He does. A young 54. 54 years old. He does. A young 54. Texas Tech softball. Snapping a 37 game losing streak to Oklahoma. You know what that means of course, right Dan? I do not.

They were due. Okay. The Red Raiders. The Sooners. It turns out all Juan Soto needed was a healthy dose of the Colorado Rockies. Again, the Rockies won last night against the Marlins to get their 10th win of the season. I believe they are now 10 and 50. Scottie Scheffler. Chess.

Rest of the World. Checkers. We're not talking enough about Scottie Scheffler, man, rest of the world, checkers. We're not talking enough about Scotty Schaeffler, man. If he were black. Oh boy. When both series end early, let's move up the games. There should have been hockey over the weekend. It is a dry spell here that's weird after the last. I don't like just sitting around.

For the fan bases it's needed. I needed a few days. Your tongue was heavy first game of first round. Yeah. Your father's holding up pretty well. It's because the heat had been out of it. That is correct, right? He was happy about that.

Yes. He roots for his schedule. Like I text him before every game and he's just like rooting for whatever gets him the easiest workload. He roots for me maximum at all times Knicks fans Let's remember this moment the next time we want to storm the streets

Outside of Madison Square Garden for winning in the second round You know what they say dano Act like you've been there before. I mean, we set ourselves up for this every single year. We celebrate so much over meaningless series victories that when we lose, everyone crushes us. I haven't seen this hope for a Knicks team in 25 years. But there's hope. That's a start. But a Knicks team that obviously wasn't good enough to win the championship. It really was interesting to see the fan base get that loud. I don't know how you handle in general your disappointment,

but I know people who mitigate and manage their disappointment by lowering their expectations to start. Yes. That is not what Knicks fans did. They behaved in a way, throwing trash at Brian Windhorst and being louder than everyone else, that made it awfully forgetful where hope resides. Loser. On one hand, I'm sad that Knicks lost.

On the other hand, I'm happy I never have to hear from Reggie Miller again. Is his career over? I believe so. You don't think he's gonna be hired? You don't think Reggie Miller's gonna have commentary the rest of your life on the- If I don't hear Reggie Miller on TNT, I'm not hearing Reggie Miller.

Okay, so if he appears on the Dan Patrick show, he's not someone you're hearing? No. He's joining NBC. Is he really? Yeah. As lead game analyst. It's not Reggie on TNT. It's not Reggie

It's a weird take but I'm just done with Reggie. Loser. I mean New York made Reggie That's a good point. Thank you. We run you Sound like you're both like insulting him and praising him at the same time. I don't know what to do with Reg. We run you! There is no greater compliment that you can give Reggie Miller that he annoys you so much that you demand he be out of your life. He's winning. And then he stays in your life.

I know. You're so right about that. He is one of the guys. Man, we really do have to celebrate more the people in sports who are actually willing to be the villain. There are so few. They're so precious few that

I'm willing to make Reggie Miller historically better than he actually was just because he was willing to do that for me. NBA on TNT tip of the cap. I'm going to miss that. It's not. Yeah, but it's not. Listen if it's not on TNT, it's not on TNT. You miss that. It's not. Yeah, but it's not. Listen, if it's not on TNT, it's not on TNT. You mentioned that.

That's true. Reggie. Yes, this is also true. Yes, feels different. Let's hit there. They're in the cap. They did a great job. They did. They cover the NBA at an amazing level for many years. Just tipping a cap. Here. Let's tip a cup. We should. Let's all do it. We should. Everyone look at the camera right now. It's rare. rare look take all of us. It is rare to get Consensus in sports that's great. You don't take the hat off on a tip of the cap You just touch the tip of your cap. Do you it's a little just like that

To head tilt down put it on the pole at LeBata show Do you take off your cap when you give someone a tip of the cap just touch the tip of the cap head till I? Did that's off though. I gave hats off. I did The hat I go hats off with tip of the hat I don't just tip it yeah hats off hats off to you You don't take it all the way off you take it like a quarter of the way off Right here. That's all the way off, you take it like a quarter of the way off. It's like you stop right here. That's all the way off. I know there are subjective things throughout art that get universal applause, but there is very little in sports that is subjective that everyone says, that's great, that's the greatest thing there's been.

So little criticism. The only criticism I ever hear of the TNT show is basketball players now don't like that Charles and Kenny and Shaq old guys have so much voice they don't like they want new voice that's cuz they don't have any rings if they had more rings they wouldn't mind New York the only market that could want their coach fired after he took them somewhere they hadn't been in 25 years. It's amazing. Obie Toppin, Revenge Series.

Here's something to ponder. If an NBA finals happens and nobody watches, nobody cares, or nobody talks about it, did it actually happen? People will watch, people will care, people will talk about it. So much ratings talk coming the next couple of weeks. So we control that, we can just not do it.

Not here, it won't be here. Talk some hoops. I'm talking about, we can't control it outside of here. Right. We can't even control inside of here with Stugats. Pacers Thunder, the rare series where both teams can point at trading Paul George away as the moment they instantly got better Wait till basketball Illuminati tomorrow whoo

some revelations some behind-the-scenes stuff a big congratulations to Josh Allen and Hanley Stenfield Hanley Hanley Haley Marlon shortstop. I did. Regardless, Josh finally got a ring. Hanley Steinfeld. I think it's Kenley Jensen. Steinfeld. Steinfeld.

What's the deal with the Bills losing all the time? Mike Trout. Do it in the postseason. What's the deal with Josh Allen's wife having a man's name? Mike Trout. Make it to the postseason. What's the deal with Josh Allen's wife having a man's name? Mike Trout, make it to the postseason. Mariners Cole Young with a walk-off in his MLB debut. How can you not be romantic about baseball? It's all baseball has left is romance.

I still love baseball. Do you? Yes. You're the one. Well, that is Kirk Cameron. Justin Fields. Hold on a second. Please hold on a second. Just that was the second time. That was a good callback. Minor penalty. Two minutes stumbling. Justin Fields said he believes he can be great with the New York Jets. Hey Justin, got some news for you. You can't. Doesn't seem like news. It just seems like a statement of fact.

It doesn't seem like something. I'm just letting them know. Yeah, but it's not breaking news. It's just something. But he has set the bar so high for himself, and I want him to set it lower, because he's not gonna be great there. He wasn't great in Pittsburgh.

He wasn't great in Chicago. He's not gonna be great as a jet. No one's great as a jet. Seth Revis. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Is it possible, humanly possible, to be great as the quarterback of the New York? Name one and don't say name it. I'll wait all day. Andrew McCutcheon still doing it.

Baby, let's go. Bryce Harper, missing an entire series after getting hit by a pitch on the elbow. You know what Bryce isn't, Dan? A hockey player. An entire series? Jesus. I laughed the other day because Bryce Harper went up to bat

and it was really nice with a gender reveal blue bat. But then he struck out, which you can't do. You gotta make contact if your bat is the gender reveal. You can't strike out. Not to bring it back, but the Cole Young walk-off on his debut is one of the saddest walk-offs I've ever seen. I thought it was romantic. It was for me.

I mean, it was a little dribbler that was extra innings, so there was a runner running home and beats the throw home, but he dribbled it about 38 feet before the first base and fielded it through at home. Run got in before the tag, then he runs, he gets the first base, it's a hit walk off, but man, it was a routine out. But it was, I mean, for me.

A walk off's a walk off. Yeah, a walk off's a walk off. The way Stu got's painted it, I thought it was a home run. Yeah, it wasn't exactly Jeremy Hermida coming in and hitting a grand slam. Interesting reference by him. Hermida never did that, I mean, he was supposed to do that. Hermida doesn't remember that, and you do. That's the only moment of his that. I mean he was supposed to do that her Mita doesn't remember that and you do

That's it's the only moment of his career. I think he remembers it I'm saying his life peaked at that moment not me. I wouldn't say that that's he was supposed to have so many moments He was supposed to have so many moments, but alas moving on Double the David Sampson still wouldn't be five feet tall or way over a hundred pounds What? What?

What do you mean? I love David It really doesn't sound like it. I just said double the David it was funny five feet tall. He's small you get it Good clean humor. I love David as much as he loves me And as much as he loves me. And as much as he loves Pablo. At any point, do you think Kylie Jenner looked around, realized she was in Indiana, and said, why the hell am I here? Speaking of hell, or brass. Dan, those are the weekend observations.

Excellent, we love those always, we love those weekly. We were mentioning Amin's love of the breakfast flan and it made me think of the breakfast flan song. So let's go ahead and play that for the people. I wish I had some breakfast flan. Da da da da da da da da. Breakfast flan. Da da da da da da da da da. Breakfast flan. Da da da da da da da da da.

Where can I find a breakfast like that? Yeah, I regret doing that. Classic. Awesome. I want some flan right now. Did you have good memories of it? I did, I thought it had musical accompaniment. I didn't realize it was acapella.

I didn't realize it was a duet. I didn't realize it was a duet between. Wait, there was music there if you hear it. I wish I had some breakfast flan. Da da da da da da da da. There's nothing I recognize as music in there. Working up on a breakfast like that. Not anymore, not after the Pasolito incident. Sing all your shit acapella moving forward.

Can I ask whether or not anyone is siding with Pablo Torre in the beef with Bill Simmons because a lot of people are objecting to Pablo Torre's journalism rooting around in the bedroom of Bill Belichick but it's also being wildly rewarded because Pablo's numbers are skyrocketing because he's doing this reporting around this story that people are really hungry for. But there are also people objecting to it while there's widespread curiosity about it and it's not being covered in the mainstream in a way that is satisfying to people.

So people are going and hunting down Pablo. Dan, I know you mentioned earlier that he's gonna go on with Bill Simmons. Did you see his tweet response, which was scathing? And dare I say it, little Stephen A. Smith-esque. Allow me to read it in a Stephen A. Smith voice. Dear Bill Simmons, since you have such a strong public opinion about my work,

I happen to have a few questions for you specifically. Unless you're afraid of Pablo Torre finds out and someone just pretending to be a journalist of course. Thanks Pablo. You think he meant that thanks? I have a few questions for you. Great question. It is a great signature catch line for a threatening movie villain dork. I have a few, somebody who shows up with a briefcase,

opens it up and says, I have a few questions for you. Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
