Welcome to The Big Sui, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? A 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 Do you guys know the term? Micro bet do you guys know are you familiar with what a micro bet? Is it like a prop is it is a dollar bet? Nope, that is a good guess but it is it is the reason that Luis Ortiz

nationals picture was uh... is on indefinite guardians leave guardian excuse me is with cleveland yes my bad he is on leave because he got caught or allegedly has been removed because uh... when it they studied some micro bets being made, they saw in three different states, allegedly, people had bet that his first pitch of an inning would be either a ball or a hit by pitch. And it happened twice and there were bets coming

from different states and the pitches were well outside of the strike zone and were balls and they were winning bets and a lot of people are pointing to that as an alarm and saying that's one of the reasons that you should eliminate prop bets and I'm saying that's exactly the reason that you keep prop bets because that's how that gets caught. That is remarkably dumb because no one else is betting that. So there are no one, there's no one else in the world that's taking those bets except the people who are making the bets because they know something in three different states,

that's how and why that gets flagged. Like which is more unusual, that right there that you just described or the people betting John T. Porter under two and a half rebounds. It's both so stupid that you would think you wouldn't get caught there. I'm still unclear what exactly a micro bet is.

Small real-time wagers. In the game, like a specific. What happens next? A lot easier to do in football because the pace of the game allows for this. For bigger games like the Super Bowl, what will the result of the next play be? You can get that on a lot of major sports books.

I'd say though that once you're in the position of needing the action that desperately, I would call for help on where it is that some of your gambling problems are. If you need action so desperately that you're on a Guardians game betting whether the first pitch is gonna be a ball or a strike.

That's living. That is living. That sounds like a perfect Wednesday afternoon. So I'm glad we covered the full spectrum here. Do so responsibly or seek help. Wherever you land in there, just do it the right way. Responsibly and don't do it with some inside information because you're gonna get pinched these days. That is how people get caught on their stupidity

when the bets are that stupid that no one else is making them except the people in three states who know something. But it could just be a junk, like it could just be someone who loves action. Like if I'm obscurely betting this thing, someone's gonna look at it and be like, that must be that pitcher,

because who else would bet that? I'll tell you who else would, I would. Yeah, but they seize on suspicious betting patterns. Things like that can stick out, especially if it doesn't necessarily reflect previous action, like why are you only locked in on this pitcher for this game? Also outsized bets, they do all sorts of investigations, trace it back on social media to see if an influencer has put this bet out there, and it's actually really easy for them to determine. They

have a lot of data. Also, the pitch, or one of the pitches in question was like 15 feet outside bounce and hit Yeah, not even close to being a strike. Let's leave no room for error Yeah, maybe I won't I don't want to accidentally throw a strike here Well what you don't want is someone swinging and fouling it off You don't want to get Angel Hernandez where he calls a ball a strike and you're like no I missed that call It's probably why they got him out of the game. Gambling integrity. I like the idea that he throws the ball in the dirt

and if the umpire calls it a strike, does he argue? Watch! Screams and yells. Demora Smith is writing a book and I'm wondering, or it's coming out in August he's written the book and he's gone after Roger Goodell in it he goes after Aaron Rodgers in it what were your thoughts as low when you heard that the head of the NFL players union was writing a book in which he goes after an assortment of people my thought was this

tracks like this is this is I feel like this is what we heard about D'amore Smith when he was running the union, that he was not liked and that there was something off about him. And now you have a union, former union chief who's writing a book that comes off, at least from the quotes that we're seeing in the book comes off super low rent. It does? I think so. Yeah. Yeah. Because?

Well, because I mean, he's's it seems like it seems unprofessional you know the things that he's saying there and Why would you and he's attacking both sides, you know? So I guess I guess you're being fair in that sense that he's attacking both sides But man, it seems like low hanging fruit going good. Del. Let's make sure we say something bad about him Everybody knows about him Jerry Jones Let's say let's make sure you know something bad about him And this way you get the quotes out there and it sounds salacious and people are into it. I just remember hearing from anonymous players that Demorey Smith, eh,

something off there. I have talked, what are you laughing about Billy? Just anonymous players just reach out to Zazz, this Demorey Smith, I gotta tell you something. You don't believe that anonymous players reach out to me? I just don't understand why not have NFL players reaching out to you to take shots at the Union head. Something wrong there. Billy, he used to host a show with an anonymous football player. Let me get the quotes.

Rum dog. He calls Roger Goodell a, quote, cold, dark void. He calls Jerry Jones cheap. Quote, if Jerry Jones saw a dollar bill on the ground I truly believe he'd stop and pick it up wouldn't you yeah I don't think that that's an indictment of Jerry Jones I asked Wayne Heisenga the former owner of the Marlins and Dolphins that question one time what is the lowest amount of money that you would stop and pick over a pick up on the floor he's like a penny

Wow well Demori Smith thinks that's lame. Just wanna be abundantly clear to this beloved football player that I love with all my heart, that I want no smoke with. I was not calling you anonymous, I was just trying to protect your privacy, Romdog. I love Romberg, so he's the man.

He's the man. I'm not taking a shot. You did take a shot. No, don't you do that, no I wasn't. I was making a joke, contextualized and covered. You stop stirring up shit. I think that was the shot right there that Dan just did. No, I wasn't. I was making a joke, contextualized in a cupboard. You stop stirring up shit. I think that was the shout right there that Dan just did.

Whoa. We had to save your life from walking Gonzales one time and Romberg probably had to hang. Is that right? Yeah, that was crazy. Stop stirring up shit. Really? The death of people, yeah.

Really? Mike Ryan took the opportunity when you mentioned that you talked to anonymous players to both make fun of you like Billy did. Why did Mike do that? I was helping out, man. Mike just came in and started calling out Zazz saying that no NFL players talked, it was wild.

Dan, you're going down the wrong road here, pal. You made a joke that he hosted a show, a very popular morning show for many years with an anonymous NFL player no because I'm wasn't gonna rat him out Billy was poking holes as to whether or not Zazz would have in his network former NFL players I don't want to dox Brett Romberg, but thank you Dan for totally having the joke over. Okay, so you're saying that he was anonymous as in That's the person who has given me the info

as opposed to him being like a nobody. How am I the only one following this? It's crazy, it's crazy. He would have said that about Leroy Horde. I would have. But he does a show with Tobin. Well, I love Leroy Horde. Who also did a show with Zazzle,

but didn't play in the NFL. Not insulting these players. By the way just a quick aside here as we're talking about the Dolphins so I guess I don't follow this account but it's a for you dolphins talk calm this day in Dolphins history July 9th 1976 Don Shula signs a five-year extension with the Miami Dolphins and sells back his ownership stake in the team to Joe Robbie. Huge mistake.

Imagine having 10% of the Dolphins in 1976. You've had it since 1970, and you sell it back for pennies. Mike Shula's gotta be like, come on! I mean, right now he'd have $800 million if he just held onto that 10% stake. That's crazy, right? Horrible financial decision. Now he's just holding on to that 10% stake, that's crazy, right? Horrible financial decision.

Now he's just holding on to stakes of stakes. This is gonna ruin the Shulas forever. I just wanna understand a little bit better because your segue was, since we were talking about the Dolphins, when were we talking about the Dolphins? We were talking about the Dolphins, we were talking about...

No, no, go ahead, give me... You said Wayne Huizinga, Dolphins owner. It was. And Marlins owner, Wayne Huizinga. Contextually covered. Former Dolphins owner, Joe Robby, and Dolphins owner. It was. And Marlins owner Wayne Izinga. Contextually covered. Former Dolphins owner Joe Robby and Dolphins coach and Hall of Famer Don Shula. I would say, though, that meant we

were talking about picking up money, not talking about the Dolphins. Speaking of money, Don Shula could have had $800 million right now at Shula Estate had he been smarter with his financial properties. Wednesdays move fast. Speaking of money, and because you guys are often interested in the salary cap, I am

curious whether you're interested about the information that I'm about to give you on the salary cap. You saw that story recently from Pablo Torre Finds Out about how immediately after Deshaun Watson's guaranteed money contract two days later the owners got together and are like we have to be able to fix this we have to try and collude here and make sure that we stop all this guaranteed money do you want to know how much in Peyton Manning's initial contract how much guaranteed money there was like when he came out of the in the draft his initial contract. Yes a

Couple million maybe zero dollars zero guaranteed dollars Brock Purdy now has 70% of his money is guaranteed even though you can't totally be sure how good Brock Purdy is We will you can't totally be sure. There's a lot of argument about that. 70% of his money is guaranteed Peyton Manning's was zero, but if you're following, for example, the New Orleans Saints, this was interesting to find out the other day because the Saints have the worst salary cap situation in the league. There were several coaches who didn't want to even interview for the Saints job because everyone knows that Mickey Loomis put them in a terrible position and this is why Mickey Loomis and how Whit Mickey Loomis put

him in a terrible position. They had to keep giving Drew Brees money and the way that they got around the salary cap is by knowing that every year the salary cap goes up and then they just sort of squeeze in every year some things that were questionable, had a lot of debt in them, were risky. The pandemic comes, and then all of a sudden for the first time the salary cap goes down. The salary cap doesn't increase at the same rate of speed. But the part that I thought you guys might find interesting about that as a strategy to always just assume that the salary cap is going up and take your chances on future mortgages. One of the things that is interesting

about what it is that happened there is that the pandemic made it so that the saints had no idea whatsoever that there was the possibility that the salary cap wouldn't end up going up like it does every year. But as much as the salary cap has gone up every year, and I believe it's,

let me see if I can find the numbers. Let me give you some helpful information here. Yeah, he had zero dollars in guaranteed money, however, he made more in base salary than Cam Ward is making this year. The contract that he got was viewed to be so outrageous that it was hugely influential in what we have now, which is a rookie wage scale. So in base salary, way back then, more than 25 years ago, Peyton Manning was making us a number one pick more than this year's number one pick. Now you have signing bonuses that help mitigate that,

and the guaranteed money is different than what Peyton Manning got, obviously, which was $0. But remember, Peyton Manning started this crazy run where people entered the league and they essentially, as quarterbacks, had the biggest contracts in the league and that was unsustainable. What's also unsustainable is what I'm about to say to you though, which is since Peyton Manning, the cap has gone up 346%, but the quarterback market has gone up 408 percent. So that the quarterback is now chewing up, eating up more and more of your salary cap no matter how much it goes up and then you get into a situation like the Saints were in where

they have to keep paying their quarterback Drew Brees because he's their legend and now they're now they've got a team that coaches don't want to coach. But they botched it. You get the replacement and waiting and the league basically mandates you can take as many chances as you want on quarterback. So look what Cleveland did this year in taking two. They take Shador and Dylan Gabriel. If they're not happy with their number one overall draft pick, they can divest easily and it's not an albatross on their cap number the way that it was. What happened in New Orleans is gross mismanagement, a lot of greed from their quarterback. Remember they had a bunch of guys coming up at the same time. Jimmy Graham, he wanted his. He

wasn't going to do the Tom Brady thing, which is like, let me work within the margins with you guys, see what kind of deferred money I can get, see what kind of signing bonuses I could get. Drew Brees was about that money. The other thing too is Derek Carr's retirement also put them in further cap held because they restructured the contract from 20 million to 69 million in 2026. been enjoying every minute of it and by my side throughout that entire championship celebration has been Miller Lite.

Zaslow, for those of you who might not know, is a giant Pearl Jam fan.

Yes. How did you react to the news that Pearl Jam's drummer is retiring? Oh, Dan, I was very sad. I was very bummed about that, man. All of a sudden Pearl Jam, out of nowhere, seemingly. They just wrapped up the tour. I saw them a bunch of times on this tour I don't know if you remember that and the drummer Matt Cameron. He was with them for 27 years and he steps down. I don't know what it means for the future, but They need a new drummer now. You can't have a band without a drummer. So I was upset about it But here's the thing. All right, here's what I'm dealing with now I'm very upset about something that's going on at home as a result, in the Zaslow Mansion,

as a result of Pearl Jam's drummer Matt Cameron leaving the band. My wife is celebrating this. I mean, that's garbage, right? My wife is celebrating this. She's happy that he left the band because she thinks it means that the band overall is closer to retiring as a whole

and no longer touring because she hates when I go on tour with the band she hates when I go and I, guess what guys, spend money less money for her on going to see Pearl Jam she, wives, Dan everyone loves money and wives love money and wives, they're part of everyone Wives, Dan. Everyone loves money. And wives? Love money.

And wives, they're part of everyone. So my wife, she's chastising me around the house. Ah, you're done, no more Pearl Jam, you know? And I'm like, man, I really don't like you right now. He's heckling you. Who have you loved longer, Pearl Jam or your wife? Pearl Jam. Yeah, so if I were her, I would be very careful. I mean, I didn't say that I love Pearl Pearl Jam or your wife? Pearl Jam. Yeah, so if I were her I would be very careful.

I mean, I didn't say that I love Pearl Jam more, but my love affair with Pearl Jam is like twice as long as with her. Yeah. Yeah. So thank you, I'm glad you agree on that, the both of you. I wanted to discuss though with you guys, not how Zaz his wife feels about

that's a problem but i was uh... i was a little startled a couple of weeks ago okay because the entirety of the room was making fun of me about sounding old in a number of different ways talking about the death of rock and roll but more specifically being confused by how a rock band like Pearl Jam or Aerosmith, Aerosmith was the one that I was thinking of, how that would even break today, how would that happen today, is it even possible as my old rock stars all look like, you know,

your friend Joey's old aunt, you've got Steven Tyler looking like, you know, your friend's old aunt Bonnie. You have... I believe all these photos are altered that we're showing on this screen. I believe, I don't believe that Steven Tyler photo is altered, I believe. Yeah, yes it is, yeah.

They all are, this is off the internet. All right, well, but I'm telling you that Steven Tyler, find me better photos than those of my old rock stars, Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson. That Marilyn Manson picture is ridiculous. John Bon Jovi, John Bon Jovi. That one's real. No, that's how he looks.

That's how he looks. That's how Steven Tyler looks as well. That's how Steven Tyler looks. Yeah, he has wrinkles. The other one looked like Julia Roberts. I think that that photo is real. It really does. I think that that photo is real. It really does. I believe that that is a real photo of the lead singer.

Like a watching mom. It would be the lone real photo in a set of four that are doctored. Mike, I'm telling you to go look. Go search the entirety of the internet for Steven Tyler photos, and you will find. Steven Tyler crushed it with Ozzi osborne this weekend and what i wanted to talk about was black Sabbath and azi osborne uh... closing down uh... azi's career and what

felt like celebrating the end of his life because azi osborne has been in poor health for a long time one of the most amazing things of my lifetime is to watch Ozzy Osbourne go from person who America figured was satanic and a Satan worshipper to somebody who had such a bad drug problem that other drug addicts in music were startled when he topped them by snorting a line of ants that was on the floor on its way to a popsicle stick, that guy becomes a sitcom dad somehow on reality television.

They were the first reality TV family, I think, right? Seeing Ozzy Osbourne as a sitcom dad was confusing to me given that my childhood was filled with warnings from priests about how he was a Satanist. But so Mike Ryan says to me when I'm like, how does a rock band, how can an old timey rock band even break today to become popular? And Mike Ryan's condescending response to me was, the arena across the street is going to be filled with a Satanic band this weekend that is performing

and I'm going, it happens all the time. Yeah, Ghost. Rock music is still truckin' along. Ghost had a chart-topping album very recently. Rock music has kind of operated in the same space for the past 25 years, really ever since Grunge had its moment in time. It hasn't dominated the music sphere. Back, you could make an argument,

rock was at the forefront of what was happening in music. Hasn't necessarily been the case, it's been more, indie rock has its moment in the early 2000s. Radio had popped in the late 90s, kinda taking it from grunge a little bit, but there's still very good rock music being made, very interesting music being made. There's a band called Turnstyle

that's blowin' up this summer., bands like Idols and Fontaines DC that their arrows are pointing up. I do think that rock music is eventually gonna have something to say and kids are gonna gravitate to it because that's just the cycle of pop culture. Were you moved by Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath this weekend?

I was super moved and by the way to that point, rock music was huge in the 60s, had very similar lulls in its popularity in the 70s and 80s, comes back in the 90s. So for this specific genre of music, at least in this country, it's not uncommon for it to kind of go away and not be at the forefront of everybody's mind musically, and then all of a sudden blow up and have its moment. Is this the moment? I don't know, maybe not.

We'll see. There needs to be an American band that does what kind of turn cell does on a much larger scale, but watching the Ozzy Osbourne clips, because when they announced this show, I'm like, okay, one last cash grab as this dude who can barely walk is going to fight through these things. Well, he couldn't walk. I mean, they brought him out there on a throne. He sat on the throne the whole time. He sat on the throne the entire time, and I had no idea that the programming around this, they had a rotating stage,

so bands would set up behind the bands that are going on. Isn't that great when festivals had the rotating stage? I love that, so you don't miss a moment of the action. They just rotate the stage and boom, there's Metallica ready to go. There were so many great bands that were of Black Sabbath time, well not necessarily Black Sabbath, but Ozzy solo time of the 90s and contemporary acts over there was really a

dream card of rock legend. And it was quick. It's like each band, even like Metallica, they only had like 15 minutes. It was just every band quick. A giant show of respect for what Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath meant as edgy, edgy people who really shook the core of America because among others, the church was really mad about the existence of Ozzy Osbourne. For those of you who don't know any

of Ozzy Osbourne's controversies, you can find some of them for me, but one of them was that he was on stage early in life and just bit the head off of a bat. Yeah, bit the head off a bat. That adds to the legend. And obviously kids would gravitate towards that because it was scary.

The church would warn, your parents would warn, and people are naturally rebellious. And sometimes they'll gravitate to conservatism. I forgot about the lighting that happened. Or back then, satanic rock music. But what was really cool were the super groups that they formed. Steven Tyler, who keep in mind, Aerosmith retired.

They broke up, they're done touring because Steven Tyler could not do it day in and day out. But man, I guess he rested his voice for this one show. He knocked everybody's socks off. It was an unbelievable performance. And I guess the real cool moment of the night was Ozzy sounded pretty good for someone that was stationary. And it was beautiful moments. Ozzy and Black Sabbath, they do have some pretty songs that

have deep impactful lyrics. And to hear the audience sing it back to him and you could see it wash across his frozen face that, wow, like they love me. It was a wonderful moment where people get to show their- He got emotional when he was singing, Mama I'm Coming Home. That was a goosebumps inducing moment. I have goosebumps right now. Yeah, because you basically realize,

wait, is this a funeral? Kind of felt like it. Mike's right. It was really great, Black Sabbath and then Ozzy playing together again, but man Best part of the night Steven Tyler stole the show like that was that you want to talk about goosebumps That was incredible because I remember Aerosmith was on tour last year with black crows I was gonna go to that show that's an amazing show and

They had to cancel because Steven Tyler just can't do it anymore. He had throat surgery, he can't sing anymore, it's over. He's 77 years old and then all of a sudden we got Steven Tyler up there doing whole lot of love by Led Zeppelin and just killing it. He stole the show. Don Lebatard. The Lord is Captain Slappy. Stugatz.

Is this Chum Bucket? This is the Don Lebatard Show with the Stugats. All right, I want to bring up a couple of things here off of what it is you guys are saying. I don't know if any of you have seen these documentaries. There's a Led Zeppelin documentary on Netflix. I haven't seen a whole lot of Led Zeppelin documentaries or information ever so that must be some Exclusive access Hulu has one on kiss that's gonna be less exclusive because kiss is the most commercial band of all time Paul

Ace Freely Paul Stanley Let me think for a second here the lead singer of kiss is Paul Stanley and he his voice is shot, too Yeah, Paul and you have gene have Gene occasionally that comes in. Yeah, they were all, I mean they're older. I don't know if that documentary is any good, but I have told you guys before and I will tell you again that some of the best music and television that I have ever seen is the Kennedy Center

when they are honoring Led Zeppelin and they're doing so with the lead singer of heart and an orchestra. I urge you to check it out. And you see what you guys are talking about where Ozzy Osbourne has moved. You see Led Zeppelin listening to their own music, performed by a chorus and the lead singer for Heart.

And you can see that their breath is taken away by seeing their own song performed by others in a way that overwhelms them. And I say again, not only was it some of the best music I have ever heard, it's some of the best television I've ever seen, the way that they used the crowd and showed you Led Zeppelin's band members just awed by seeing their own music performed that way. I mean Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, the remaining members, along with Robert Plant,

of Led Zeppelin, they've wanted to, there have been times in the past, they've wanted to get back together and tour, and the prevailing thought is Robert Plant always says no because he just can't hit the notes anymore. Like, he can't sing the songs anymore. Doesn't necessarily, I guess they have a high standard. Look, if you try to watch a gnr right now

It's a little painful axle the great bodies lost so much weight Yeah, but it sounds like dog and and when they returned axle was also injured So he was doing the show from a throne and when your lead singer who used to have enormous energy has to sit down There's a palpable sadness No matter how good the performance is watching your your old rock star, who is a symbol for youth, have to sit on the stage because he can't stand up, that's always sad, even if the music's good. Yeah, but I understand why Steven Tyler decided to step away, probably watching these videos

of Axl and Vince Neil, like, I have this higher pitched voice. When that goes, it sounds much worse than the more baritone dudes. And I don't want wanna go out like that. Some people are fine doing the cash grabs. I actually saw Robert Plant not too long ago. I saw him like maybe seven years ago. I didn't think he sounded bad. Now he doesn't sound like Zeppelin, Robert Plant,

because very few can. But I think with the nostalgia, especially that band, where the instrumentation is such a huge part of it, being able to watch Jimmy Page live would be as impressive, if not more so than hearing Robert Plant. I would love to see one last go as someone that never really had the opportunity to see them. That's the greatest band ever.

Like I would travel anywhere to go see them if they were to play again. Daft Punk for me. Because we were talking about the Netflix promotion of Led Zeppelin, which I, again, I'm not familiar with Led Zeppelin ever giving access to any of this stuff. I don't know how good or not this documentary is or how much they traded in exchange for that access.

But when I asked you guys to give me Netflix best blockbuster movie ever, because they have things like Red Notice, cost $200 million, The Grey Man cost $250 million, and Netflix feels to me like it is trying to find the most mass audience with its giant movies, and it's missing by a note each time because it doesn't seem any of their giant movies are hitting. When I say Red Notice and The Grey Men

had those kinds of budgets, that's bigger than Dune, that's bigger than Oppenheimer, that's bigger than Barbie. Does Netflix have a giant movie that they have made that is considered the best of their original programming because again they are trying I've told you guys before that Netflix as much as they're in the entertainment business they're in the information their information business don't look up is no I'm not telling you to not research it I'm telling you that was a movie with Leo DiCaprio yes with Adam McKay don Don't Look Up

was a big success for them. Is that their? It did have a limited theatrical run before, it went on Netflix, but that is a Netflix movie. I would say Carry On with Taron Egerton was a nice little 90s action throwback. And don't forget Extraction. I like that movie.

Extraction, which spawned a sequel. Extraction, of course, title character, well, main character, Tyler Rake, kills somebody with a rake. Are you guys surprised when I'm telling you their big movies have bigger budgets than Oppenheimer and Barbie and Dune? I'm I'm not so surprised by that because their business strategy is different. They they don't necessarily care so much about what they spend on those things because they have a subscription model,

so they're trying to get people to subscribe to there, and hopefully they stash their credit card and forget that it's there. So I don't know, they could probably justify it. They keep doing it, although there are reports that Apple has tightened up its budget because Apple throws so much money at its original content, and it's not getting the same amount of eyes.

According to this list, Red Notice is actually, which was a critical bomb, Red Notice is what is touted by Netflix as their most popular original film, followed by Carry On, followed by Don't Look Up. What about Bird Box? Bird Box is top five. Fifth. Also there.

The Adam Project is fourth. I love that movie. That was with Ryan Reynolds. I love that movie, Adam Project. I'm actually surprised, because Extraction got critical acclaim and it was a really good action movie. It doesn't seem to be on this top 10 list.

I've told you guys recently that I am watching baseball a lot more and that I am seeing just about every night in baseball somebody jump over the center field fence to make a catch. It happened last night again. Jackson Merrill did it for the Padres. You know, you saw that, I'm like, huh, in baseball, somebody jump over the center field fence to make a catch. It happened last night again. Jackson Merrill did it for the Padres. You know, you saw that, I'm like, huh,

I guess I must be watching the same sports center top plays, and then since then, two weeks have gone by, and all I see is I'm walking past TVs in airports and whatnot, is some spectacular catch being made in the outfield. Well, let me explain to you what Jackson Merrill did last night. He clearly robbed a home run in a game that kept Arizona shut out for the game. They did not score a run. This would have won the game this

home run because the Padres only scored one run in the game. But this is how much this is happening in this sport. Jackson Merrill reached over the centerfield fence and took a home run and then jogged into the dugout without any reaction whatsoever. The pitcher you know raised his hands and was very happy because he hadn't lost the game but Jackson Merrill had no reaction whatsoever to doing something that is now just a fly out in baseball because so many people are doing it and to me I've always thought that outside of hitting a home run on the last pitch of a game,

that's gotta be the best feeling that there is of any kind in baseball. I guess, you know, finishing a perfect game or no hitter, but an individual moment of feeling, there can't be a lot better in sports than the ballpark and the hitter don't know you have the ball. You know before everyone else knows

that your athleticism has just prevented what could have been and what would have been a home run. Yeah I like when the guy, when the outfielder has the fake out where like he, you don't know if he caught it and he just kind of- Jogs away from the wall, you're not sure yet? Takes a few steps and then he pulls the ball. I got this shit.

I see you're jumping over the fence and robbing a home run and I have another play that I think is just as exciting. But you're raising. More exciting. From last night. So you call and raise. Well, he's gonna try and raise me. I don't think he's got me though.

I think I got the nuts. He thinks he's got the nuts. Well, I just said I see. Yeah, I would also like to see. Show up thing. Because I've got a nominee too. Go for it. Well, there was a play yesterday

where there was an inside the park walk off home run. That's pretty good. Wow. Which is quite exciting. And it was a rare one where normally like a, you know, an inside the park home run is, you know, sometimes bases are cleared, someone falls over, whatever. San Francisco has that weird wall that's like at an angle and it has the brick. So sometimes it'll hit it and it's like a hard ricochet. So it ricochets off of that. Now the Giants at the time were down two runs. Zazz there were two runners on base. I know. When this happened. So if they both score it's tied.

Can you imagine if they both score it's tied. Now if the batter scores. They win. They win and guess what happens. Well what happened? Batter scored they won. Yeah three run inside the park walk off home run. First walk off home run inside the park walk off a run by a catcher since 19 something It wasn't even close like you'd think inside the park come on had to be close at the plate not even close not even close All right, I see and I'm gonna go with a play at the plate to end the game League of their own style or pudge style I would say strong if you drop somebody in that didn't watch any sports in America and they saw the end of that Giants playoff game where Pudge just gets up and starts holding

the ball up. That was the first time ever a series ended play at the plate. He was like so full of testosterone. I don't know what was going on. That was, must've been really fricking and just like to the crowd. Like how can you not get juice for that? Yeah. What is it? series end, oh God. I mean, Doddy, I remember where I was when that happened. Dan, do you remember where you was when that happened?

Where I was? Do you remember where you was? What were you saying, Chris? Doddy Henson dropped that ball on purpose. She felt bad for her sister, Kit. Oh. Like that was, I wasn't moved by that. I thought she did that on purpose.

Patrick Bailey is the catcher for the Giants. I'm stunned that there has been another game in Major League history that has ended with a catcher hitting a walk-off inside the park home run. I'm surprised that that has happened more than once in the history of baseball, but to Billy's point that that feels better than robbing a home run, Patrick Bailey himself said, and this was a funny quote,

when they asked him how he was feeling, he was like, I'm tired, I wish it had gone over the fence. So it doesn't seem, it doesn't seem like that would feel quite as good if you're panicked and running around the bases in a total fear because you're a catcher who doesn't expect to win the game with an inside the park home run. He's definitely such a huge liar because if you're watching the replay, like when he's rounding third, the crowd is going bananas!

It's so much better than if it were an actual over-the-fence home run. Well, the thing with that one too, like that you see on the video, is when he hits it off the bat, everybody thinks it's a home run as it is. So like you're standing up and like, yeah! And then it hits the wall, you're like, huh? Yeah! Cause you see that it just skips by the outfielders and then there's the chase and he's running around

and he has to get home. And again, they were down two runs at the time, Zazz. So if both runners on, score, tie game. If all three score, game over. Just as good as hitting it over the fence but more prolonged excitement Tony would you do me the favor of explaining to me and looking it up for me why a crowd would go bananas why bananas is the fruit of choice there ongoing bananas to make it something that identifies as crazy because I'm not familiar in any way with why it is that

bananas is the go-to phrase there they They can't go apples. I would think that you could go apples though if the phrase forever had been apples because then we'd be saying you can't just go bananas. We've talked about this and suggested going coconuts would be good. Well bananas doesn't make any sense though I don't know why it is. How does it make sense to you? Because that's the way it's said. Yeah because shit is bananas. Is it because a banana is curved? I don't like what it's not straight like what the origins are debated The phrase is likely linked to a behavior of primates when they encounter bananas, which could be quite energetic and frenzied. There you go

Okay, we go bananas This is why people also say that person's going ape Because okay, so I did not I was not familiar with the fact that apes when a special kind of crazy crazier than other Animals when you know, oh, yeah How they with food at Zoo Miami when Ron McGill walks up they go ape shit they get excited. They know him He's up with her ass. That's true. He's up with our asses true. So gross Gross yeah, she knows you're dermatologist. I was just about to say no small talk first Put it on the pole at Levittard show when you're being checked when your privates are being checked by the doctor Do you want any small talk before?

The small talk makes it more awkward you just just, hey Doc, in and out. Well, not too well. Honestly, it would be better than small talk.
