Welcome to the Big Sui presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? 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 That if they're just there that hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it and now here's the marching band to nowhere fat-face and the habitual liar

Like obviously we can't just do just golf like I'd be cool with Trump picking a competition Biden picking one and then the American people and it's two out of three and that's how we decide So this is like the show Olympics all over again. Trump will probably pick golf, Biden will pick Scrabble. Scrabble. And then the American people get to pick. I do think he'd beat Trump in Scrabble. Absolutely.

And then we as the people, Bigly, how many points is that? What would we as the people choose as our third thing as the tiebreaker? Because I think even after that debate, I'm gonna go, I would bet on Trump to win in golf. Steeplechase. Have you guys ever seen Steeplechase?

I was watching, I guess like the Steeplechase trials for the Olympics were yesterday, and I was watching it, and I genuinely, like what is this event? They run around the track and jump over the hurdles, I guess. And land in a puddle. And one of them's in a puddle, randomly. And they get wet, and then they keep running. It looks so hard.

That's like the winter sport, where they're on skis, and then all of a sudden there's a bow and arrow. And it's just like, this is it. Oh man, I can't wait for the Olympics. There was this weird news story that I saw about protesters in Paris who were trying to organize an event where they were going to poop in the Seine, because they were supposed to be,

I guess France has been spending all this money trying to poop in the Seine because they're supposed to be, I guess France has been spending all this money trying to clean up the Seine to make it like, swimmable for the events in the Olympics and I guess it's not going well, it's still pretty dirty. And so protesters were trying to organize some event to purposely contaminate it so that they couldn't hold the events there. Did you guys see those?

No shit. Yeah, they were gonna shit inside the river or something people don't have better things to do like represent it collectively Go put drop trow and just shit in a river and then on top of that the bank is like 10 feet I saw the pictures banks like 10 feet down from the street I'm just gonna be hanging your ass over the thing shitting on the floor I would go in a bathroom nearby shit into like a oh in your hand and throw it in Something or I'm not squatting at the, I'd fall backwards. I feel like I would fall into the river if I was trying to squat. I mean, these people must have real command

over their bowels to be able to plan it to the minute of when they're all gonna go do this. I actually had a hilarious, so I leave 11 the other night and I'm walking to the Elcer at like 3 a.m. You walked to the Elcer from 11? I put my car at 11 and then I walked to the Elcer and I walked to the Elcer from 11. I walked to the Elcer night and I'm walking to the Elcer at like 3 a.m. You walked to the Elcer from 11?

I put my car at 11 and then I, I was gonna drink in a little so I didn't wanna drive. It's not a far walk. No, it was like seven, eight minute walk. Really? Yeah, it's right there. Not bad. So I'm walking and I get this feeling,

like as I'm like, I still have a long walk left and it hits me, I have to pee bad, like bad. Pee. Pee. And I'm like, it's late at night, I can't get arrested for public urination, so I was just like, I need to make it.

That would be tough, I don't think Metal Arc would cover that bill. Just imagine me at 3 a.m. getting arrested on the streets of Miami for peeing on a sidewalk. I think we can all imagine that happening. And as you, I actually, I was like, I can imagine everyone imagining that, so I can't let that happen, so I'm going to just like, I'm like speed walking, I have to pee.

Like I'm telling you, I'm feeling like, like I might pee myself. And then I see the Elser, so now I'm like, 50 yards from the Elser, and I'm like, once you see the, you ever have to really pee? Once you like see the toilet. And you walk into the bathroom and you're like, oh boy. Oh my god, and I, and this is not really a climactic ending

because I made it. Because you pee. I just want you to know, like, I dropped Trow and that like pee came flying out of me. Instant. Like, I had to clean up a little afterwards. You put your pants down before you even reached the studio. My guys, I don't know about, like, ladies maybe don't have

this problem, like, like. It's the moment you see the bathroom. When you have to go as bad as you can go, that motion of like, it's going. It's like when a swimmer gets untethered and just is like flying. As soon as it feels air, it's releasing. And it was just.

Sorry. So not what he was describing. We were talking about pooping, so I thought about that. So that was me the other night. And if you want more poop talk, mystery's great. I'm telling you, I got my speed walk on. I had to pee so bad. I was not just walking.

I was like, you guys ever speed walk? No. That is an Olympic event too, I believe. I saw people speed walking. Biden versus Trump, who'd he got? Oh man. I got Trump. He's probably got a longer stride.

He's ginormous. As we saw in that clip. Biden's got to work in some arm motions when he's walking. He's not moving his arms while he's walking, right? I feel like it's all in the hips. I mean, he's just like. It's all in the hips. They're both 80, so the hip mobility can't be.

Not a lot of fluidity in the hips. If they were safeties, I wouldn't like it because he can't switch direction. Oh man, watching both of them just try to play cornerback. That's the competition. Watching them of them just try to play cornerback. That's that's the competition. Watching them try to defend an NFL wide. Who can do simple things like backpedal? But then Trump doesn't say anything that's true. So right. I mean, Biden lied a lot last night, too. They both lie. But it's just like, man, it is just it is one outpaces the others lies by like

4000 percent. It's a dark time, folks. That's my analysis. The sun's out. The Panthers won, at least. Yeah. Yeah, we have this week. As long as we have this weekend. You know, before Trump got elected,

like three days before that, the Cubs won the World Series. And I was like, wow, this is really the end times. And now the Panthers have won Stanley Cup. And I feel like we're seeing history. We're back. Damn it. Anyway anyway the second round of the NBA draft being in the afternoon was really bizarre that was odd it was really strange because it's if you're gonna break it up into two days for the first time wouldn't you want to try to have a primetime slot but it was focus on those players wasn't a good like I

don't know if you guys it was just Awful show, awful. It was just four people at a desk doing, it was very like, there were no interviews, there was like a couple packages. It was not, I don't really understand the decision to put it on TV for a second day, if they're not gonna like do it the way the NFL does it, I think. Yeah, that was what confused me.

Maybe they're gonna build up to that in a few years or something. I guess they just wanted to see how the process would work, but to have the combination of guys who were at the draft in round one, then having to wait until the next day, which is just such a shame to have the videos that come out of them, oh, I'm undrafted. It was all just building towards Bronnie.

Like the whole show, they were like, we're waiting for number 55. We think if Bronnie is on the board, and I was like, oh, is someone gonna pull some shenanigans and another team's gonna try to hold him for picks? No, nothing like that happened. Jeremy, what was the most interesting aspect? Don't look at me, I have to tell you,

God, Tony, you're not even paying attention to what we're saying, I misspeak for a split second. What do you mean, I'm always paying attention, Chris. Tony just perked up, like, what was that? What was that, Chris? Practice! You stumbled? For the Heat, interesting.

Was there anything interesting in the draft for the Heat? Yeah, I mean, I think that Khalil Ware is a fascinating pick at 15, considering there were a couple of other players available who people had already linked to the Heat, Jared McCain being one of them. Dalton Connect, slipping as far as he did, he sort of fits that Heat mold.

He started his college career at a JuCo. He then ended up at a D1 school. Then transitioned to another SEC school, white guy who shoots threes. That's like textbook Miami Heat over the last few years. But Khalil Ware is an interesting fit because a lot of people have spoken about the idea that BAM could play more time at the four.

So what it used to be is, hey, who's the perfect power forward to pair next to Bam? And with the way the league has changed, with so many, A, big centers that are now shooting from distance and things like that, but also all of these wings, with Bam as a versatile defender, having a center who could be there who's athletic,

who's a lob threat, who shot 40% from three on low volume in college. Seemed like an interesting pick, especially because a lot of people project him as a bit of a project. But the things that he can bring to the heat right now that they did not have, being a lob threat the way that he is, doing some of the things that Derek Lively

did for Dallas, for example, being a really good off-ball shot blocker. These are things they didn't get from their backup center last year, and I'm intrigued to see how those minutes go to work, but I think the future plan is he's the five next to Bam at the four. So no.

Sure. What was worse for America last night? The US men's national team losing to Panama in the group stage of the Copa America Cup Cup by Copa Cup I know we're made fun of a man down for like the whole game bad foul bad one that's all I really have or you watch that over to the I was I was watching the debate yeah yeah there's a bad loss though now they have to win this next one I think yeah brutal brutal I I'm sure Mike's not sure Mike was tweeting that borrhalter was the other option

For what there was a debate it was the debate Roy. Oh Yeah, okay. Well there you go My wife is watching Modern Family for the ninth time. I'm watching Modern Family for the first time right now Oh, really first time all the way through that show. It's great. I've always seen it. It's one of those shows that's always on that you watch an episode here, an episode there, you don't feel like you need to know the plot. But watching it the first time all the way through,

I'm really, really, really enjoying it actually. One of the fun things about having kids is they just give random names to things that aren't the actual names. Like for that, my daughter just calls that the family show. Older parents do that too. She's like, are we watching the family show? And that's modern family little cute names for things. How do you feel about Machi men or because?

They had a moment. I think the moment has which one are you? Where did it jump the shark? Oh, yeah and parks and rec Or where you look at the camera after a joke yeah Yeah, I mean even that style like even that style modern family Telling you it's a mockumentary Is sort of that style at least where they have like the side interviews with the characters so they can let you know what they're thinking But you're right it'll come to me. No one does the side interview better than Phil Dumpy

I'm seeing a lot of my future in that character. I've realized. Your future? My present. Yeah, what? Whenever I'm actually a father. Corny dad. I channel a lot. I'm already trying to embarrass my daughter and do Phil Duffy things. I don't think you have to have kids to be a father.

I think that there's certain, you could just be a dad. Like a mentor? I feel like for Lehman, the moment he started putting those screens over our windshield when we park in the sun. Like that's a dad move. That's dad behavior. I think you could be a dad without being a father.

I think that's the important distinction. Or a daddy. Some could say. How do you guys say no to children though? So I don't have kids yet. It's different. Are we talking about my kid or someone else's kid? Cause my kid, easy.

Well no, so I guess, I guess that was a question because we had our niece and nephews in town a couple of weekends ago and I realized instantly, like I cannot say no. If they ask me to do anything, I'm going to do anything for them. You wanna go in the pool for the fourth time? Sure, I will.

And I just don't know how to say no. So I'm asking you in advance of at some point, hopefully being a father, how will I say no to my kids? So I say no. It's easy for me, for my daughter. I'm with you on other kids. You can't deal with the disappointment? If we're at another kid, yeah.

Dude, your kid is going to get so much shit that you're going to be the guy that's like, this kid needs no. My daughter needs no in her life. My daughter gets so much of, yes, sure, would you like this? Would you, my mom, oh, I just saw you, here's another shirt, you're like, she's getting- She needs adversity is what you're saying.

She's getting so much yes that I am happy to be, sometimes I feel like a jerk, and sometimes I just give in and do say, I'm not like, now I feel like- No, I don't think you're painting a bad picture. No, but I'm asking you now, I genuinely, me and my wife have talks about how do we get more? No in her life I feel like i'm just gonna end up

Deferring to my wife to do it because I won't know how to do it and that's the phil dunphy If it's someone else's kids, you just look at the parents and you give them the look Yeah, and then they say shut it down glad we're keeping willa's attention with this show today Glad we're keeping Willa's attention with this show today.

This is the Dunlap at ouratar Show with the Stugats. So this is very exciting. The Marlins and Burger King have created a limited edition crown.

And I know what you're thinking. This thing's gotta be pretty cool. Yeah. But it's not. It's a little paper sad crown. It's one of the saddest promotions I've ever heard of. It's one of the Burger King crowns, Chris. I always hated these. You think it was gonna be like made of gold? I always hated these. I thought it would be, I don't know. I thought when I hear limited edition, I thought maybe they'd give them out at the ballpark. It's got teal pinstripes. I thought it'd be like an actual like, That's awesome. Like something of substance. A tiara.

Something of substance. All I know is I hated these paper things cause I used to get them at Burger King all the time and they never fit my head. They break after two seconds. I have a larger head. So like I would always be like on that last sad thing. Yeah.

This morning when I walked into the Elcer, I saw that someone had door dashed Burger King for breakfast. At seven, like 25 in the morning. The question is, is that an early breakfast before work or a coming home from the club? Coming home from the club. I don't think, but does Burger King do the menu

like not breakfast in the morning? Right, it probably is breakfast. You're right, at some point it becomes just breakfast. What is Burger King's breakfast? Oh, they have a nice little breakfast. Don't sleep on that breakfast. French toast strips. Those are actually pretty fire they've got really good croissants they've got I love French toast a bunch of stuff I think this is

the Marlins trying to be like oh like we got a draft off this grimace thing and like do something with Jake burger yeah they already have the the deal where you can get a whopper whopper jr. after I don't run burgundy yeah I don't remember which one you can get if there's a Marlins win, and they had the partnership with Jake Burger last year, so I guess this is just sort of good relations continuing. I kinda think it looks cool.

Burger King gets a bad rap. They got some, it doesn't get talked about a lot, but the chicken fries are strong, the onion rings. Chicken fries? Strong. Oh, I love the chicken fry. I'm sorry, Chris. I feel like a...

You go on there. I mean, you're right, every time you do it, it is funny. It feels like a lot of Burger King's offerings Oh, yeah, strong the strong chicken fry sorry Chris Mean you're right every time you do it It feels like a lot of Burger King's offerings are in the form of of sticks or yes Is that is that what I'm gathering everything is rectangular a bird you've never gone to a Burger King before I don't Since I was like four years old there wasn't one near my daughter. I don't want to go group outing today And now I can't eat a little Friday lunch. You can eat it You can eat it. I don't want to go group outing today. I know I can't eat a little Friday lunch. You can eat it You can eat it. I don't want to eat it The fresh toasting is do sound good though the chicken fries I'm telling you a little ranch But why wouldn't I mean they don't want to do a nugget form because it's a McDonald's thing

I think they're just like how can we make this different? All right, we got this chicken thing guys How do we make it different make it a rectangle thin and long call it chicken? I used to think that's what the Zach Brown song was a little bit of chicken like my chicken fat cold beer how did they not use that in a commercial that would have been genius I just thought of that actually right off the top of my head never thought about that before you know what you should work for I'm like a I'm like a freestyler but for podcasting uh-huh I just freestyled that. But Tony, right now, freestyle podcast form, go.

I don't understand what the medium is. What do you mean, freestyle podcast? I guess this is all freestyle, right? For sure, but like, plan it. It's your time, you get a minute, go. You want me to do a beat? Oh, so you want me to rap? I'm not gonna rap, sorry. I'll be a minute. Oh, so you want me to wrap? No, I'm not gonna wrap. Sorry. I have a better idea

Lucy came in to the studio this morning She was really unhappy because EA sports put out their rankings of offenses Defenses you didn't go with the Dan transition of I heard Lucy talking at the water cooler today about I heard I were talking in the commissary Lucy. Why what did you say that made everyone laugh? You said Lucy walked in really unhappy this morning and I said, always am. I still, aw. We did.

So I'm glad I said that on air. We did. I find you to be happy. I just did the Dan thing of what was that private thing you said, say it out loud now, on the mic. That's my bad, that's my bad. Something about this chair, it makes you reveal things that aren't.

Okay, you. Jeremy, start crying. You walked in particularly unhappy today. Not because your team's rankings weren't as high as you thought they should be. Your team's rankings on EA Sports, college football were too high. What's the offensive ranking?

Or both, am I wrong? I didn't look where Iowa was ranked offensively, I don't really need that today. I don't need that for a while. I'm on it. It's okay, you don't have to look that up. But I saw that the rankings came out and the offensive ones were absolutely bat shit. Clemson was in the top 10.

Now at my last job, we used to play this game called Clemson or Iowa, where we would read stats out loud and not tell you if they were Clemson or Iowa, and you would have to guess, and it was surprisingly hard. Clemson has a very bad offense. They put them 10th. They ranked 98th overall in total offense last year. They put Colorado 9th.

They finished 99th nationally. Now that's fine, your list is bad. You have to follow it up and put Iowa in the top 10. EASports has Miami as the number seven offense. That's crazy. Really good offensive line. They've got Martinez, they've got Cam Ward, they've got Sam Brown now from Houston.

Really exciting team. They're basing this off of recruiting. What's going on here? I started. It's usually based off of like, they'll give players like, yeah, really high rankings because you might have a really great player. Like Colorado, Chaudhuri's great,

but the rest of Colorado isn't that particularly great. I know there's Travis Hunter, but obviously it doesn't apply to him. It's just not, it's just wrong. It's just inaccurate. Clemson has a bad offense. Clemson has been bad at offense for a hot minute now. It's just not right.

But let me tell you, as angry as I was, it's kind of nice to feel, you know, angry about it angry about it again yeah I was happy to get mad about a list I can only find top 25 so I can't find yeah that's all they should be the top 25 120 defense we were 13 I said that's ridiculous I think I think SMP plus preseason rankings had Iowa's offense at like a hundred and seventeen or something like that step up shout out to bill Connolly in the right directions but yeah I think EA's done a season rankings had Iowa's offense at like 117 or something like that. That's a step up. Shout out to Bill Connolly. We're moving in the right direction.

But yeah, I think EA's done a really good job of like the slow trickle throughout the summer of like, we'll give you a little teaser, we'll give you a little list of the toughest places to play, we'll give you a little list of... We'll show you the stadiums. Yeah, some player rankings and stuff like that. And maybe we'll do a little offense defense, piss everyone off. And it's just like the perfect slow trickle to get people hyped for this game and in turn get people hyped for the season. Because like this is working.

Taylor took off the day it's coming out. Yes, he did. He already put that on the schedule. He put it on the schedule like four months ago. I went to put in like an off day in July and it was like Taylor out of the office. And I was like, okay, I'm sure there's's just it's a coincidence here. Love that. A lot of streaming of NCAA 25 coming to the YouTube and LeBretard shows. Do we have like a PS5 or something? The boy just bought a PS5. I somehow convinced my wife guys this has been just an incredible negotiation for me. Probably the best negotiation we've ever done for sure. Tony and I were just having a long conversation yesterday

about how expensive, he has all these big life changes coming up and it's so expensive and some things cost a lot of money. And he's like, I got a PS5. He's buying two cribs. Two cribs. Literally. A crib and a crib.

And a crib. I'm renting, but whatever, not the point. The point is that I took all of my old stuff, right? I was an Xbox guy for a long time and I took my Xbox one my old Xbox 360 I took a ton of games. So I've been a sports game guy I'm not really a first-person shooter any these like role-playing games I really I get dizzy trying to like hell yeah find where my guy is like in the first-person shooter games so I had Madden's from like, 05, 06, 07.

Like, I had the entire run of like, all the NBA lives, all the Madden's, all the NCAA footballs, NCAA basketball. So I took all of my stuff to a vintage shop that would sell like vintage games. Like GameStop? No, GameStop rips you the hell off. I went to like an actual vintage like shop. Like a mom and pop shop shop like a mom and pop shop

Yeah, cute, and uh we started going through all my games I was existed like I know mom and pop video game shop Yeah, because they're it's all vintage stuff so like anything you want vintage like figurines or video games or whatever they have it there They have yeah, they have yo-yos there, too. They might have some yeah They might have some like a tr trinket and no hobby store I know it is like next time I go I'll show you videos like they have like full length size like Star Wars cards Mm-hmm sounds kind of awesome Yeah, collectible shot by Tammy at the airport nice anyways that is it's far more than one airport in Miami

This is like a private airport kind of this is where Tony out. Exactly. Thank you. And I went over there. So we started going through all my games. And he's like, this game is the most valuable game you have. And it was NCAA basketball 2009 with Kevin Love on the cover. He's like, dude, this is like a $50 game right now. Why did that guy tell you that? A $50 game? I feel like he could have just been like,

you got nothing here that's valuable. I'll take it all for like $200. because he knows that I'm a I'm a you know solid guy I'm picturing like the pond stars guys where they're like there you bring something in and you're like I'm asking for a thousand dollars And they're like this is actually worth. I'm gonna have to call this actually worth I'm gonna have to call my guy No, my favorite is when they're like when they're super honest and like earnest They're like this is actually worth way more than you're asking for so we'll give you We'll get 15. Yeah, one of the episodes and like earnest, they're like, this is actually worth way more than you're asking for, so we'll give you, we'll give you 1,500.

Wow, they do that? Yeah, one of the episodes, this is what I love about the ACC on the CW, because sometimes you watch a women's basketball game and it goes straight into Pond Stars with no break. We now join the show in the middle of progress. You end up midway through an episode of Pond Stars and someone's selling some World Series,

like a 1908 commemorative Cubs pin, and they're like, this is actually worth way more than you're asking, we're gonna be fair, and we're gonna give you more than what you asked for. Because this is a great- That happens like once of 14 seasons of Pawn Shop. We were right near the Pawn Shop in Vegas. We were right next to it. We should have gone in, just for fun.

What were we doing? I don't know. I thought dispense your content. So, as I walk in, the guy's like, this is your most expensive game. And I was like- But it was still only $50. But Jess, you don't know So as I walk in the guys like this is your most expensive game And I was like only $50, but Jess you don't understand like games I was like I don't see that game and they'll be like I'll give you 11 cents for it, and I'm like No, I'm not gonna lie. I haven't heard anything you said the last two minutes

I've just been thinking about what a video game about role like a role playing video game would be like like Final Fantasy Yeah, like I don't know like these games that these nerds play. I don't know I'm playing like Sims. No, not Sims. It's like little dragons and Fairies and whatever it is. It's like a world of Warcraft or so I was I had this video game very different. I was thinking yeah. Oh, yeah. Thank you So long story short I took all my stuff and then I actually chopped Final Man price of the PS 5 and half so that's how I was able to negotiate with my wife until it looked. I don't understand that. Only cost me 250 instead of 500.

So you had a bunch of games that you brought in. That I gave to the guy. He gave me cash for him. And then I went and bought a PS5. So now I'm locked in, PS5 in hand, ready to play. NCAA football comes out. If you get the early deluxe version, you actually get it three days early,

which is something that Taylor forgot to do because he took the 17th of July, which is something that Taylor forgot to do because He took the 17th of July which is when the game actually comes out but real Hoopers know the 15th of July is when the extendo package comes out and You get it for free send up three days. That's actually good to know how much was that? The deluxe package I want to say is a hundred bucks. you better take off the 15th for Taylor switches in the calendar Yeah, you can't all be off that day. I don't have a game system anymore I used to be a Nintendo DS girlie, and I was really into my Nintendo DS

I used to play like FIFA foot. I mean I think I had Madden on it or maybe and Mario Brothers everything and and I used to get so angry at my DS that I would bite the corner of it and there were teeth marks all over it. I was like 12, guys. This was, wow, damn it, I should have done that. I was 28 years old thing. Oh, come on. You know, the good thing about these systems now

is you can watch your apps on your Disney Pluses, your Hulu's and stuff like that. I don't need another screen, but I do want a new game system. Yeah, so do I. I want the X seriesseries for Xbox. That's my next big personage if any allows me to. Howdy folks, it's Mike Ryan and as you know I've been telling you on the air about the

Don LeBretard! While I was gone a third Zagaki was born and I think I heard correct me if I'm wrong here Jeremy trying to partake in a fourth Zagaki and I am here for a future where I'm surrounded by a chorus of clucking Zagacki Stugats!

You know what it means when you have four Zagackis dead. I don't. You don't have one. This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats! Tony? I see that's the thing. Do you have any games to barter for Roy? Well, you're gonna have to get in negotiating.

You gotta start negotiating. We do the best negotiations. Buddy, there's nothing that's non-negotiable. Let me tell you, start with that right there. I don't know about that, man. Everything is negotiable. Mm-hmm. I saw a video the other day that was

pretty alarming of a sinkhole in the middle of Illinois. Do you guys see this video? OK. Is there any scenario where that wouldn't be terrifying? That's- If you saw a sinkhole in your leg, I saw a sinkhole and it was just, it fit. I don't know. I mean, my family's from Pittsburgh

and sometimes you just see a sinkhole. Really? Not all- I've never seen one. Knock on wood. Well, we are in a place where everything is very- I know, trust me. Oh, it's going to happen. I can't walk through this parking garage

without thinking the worst. Really? Yeah. Nah, I don't like to hear that. I walk around with a general sense of like, if something weird's going on, Chris Cody will tell me about it. Like I'm new to Florida, but apparently

you're just walking around like, yeah, this is actually terrifying. This is not normal. I don't like, I've never liked parking garages. There's something about a parking garage to me. I hate parking garages too. Yeah. And then we have at our parking garage,

you walk out of the elevator shaft, and the way that that door slams, when you walk out of the elevator shaft, I think it's taking down the entire building every single time. Oh no. It's like every morning, I'll walk in, open the door, boom!

And when that thing shuts and it doesn't come, I'm like, all right, we're good for the day. I'm not sure if I know which elevator shaft door you're talking about. Oh my God, I wanna go out there right now, and join like a Zoom for my phone and good for the day. I'm not sure if I know which elevator shaft or what you're talking about. Oh my god, I want to go out there right now and join a Zoom for my phone and show the audience. Can I do this?

Yeah. Sure. Can I do this? Yeah, 10 minutes. You got nothing else to do. Go ahead. Go for it. OK, well, I saw this video.

Lucy, did you have sinkholes in Iowa anywhere? I don't believe so, our football team, but I don't think I can. OK, put up the sinkhole video. It was in the middle of a field in Illinois, and the field just opened up. Apparently there was like a mine underneath, and it just opened up and devoured a light pole in the middle of a soccer field.

It looks like Dark Knight Rises. Yes, that's exactly what it looks like at Heinz Field during the Dark Knight Rises, where the field opens up and swallows the Gotham Steelers or whatever that team is Heinz word returning kicks to I didn't like that never realistic for me. I liked it. I mean Power guide no, but you like it that team plays on turf Yeah Anyways, I thought this video is very fine

I was trying to think of athletes who connote sinkholes. And I did not, what did you say? Do you have anything? I didn't get very far. I ended up with three, but one with an asterisk because I don't know if this should count. So would you like to do your top two and a half list of athletes who connote?

No, it's not even really good enough to put it in the top five format. I had Stuart Sink. Nice. That's really the only one that was worth a damn. And then Lehman was like, what about Tiger Woods? Cause he sinks putts in holes. He doesn't get it. He doesn't get the game. It's a Stu gotch stretch. And then Carl, no, no disrespect to Carl, but he suggested taco fall, which is kind of funny. Not really

playing the game. No, no, that's more of funny. Not really playing the game. No. No. That's more of athletes who can note timber. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Tim Duncan.

Sure. Tiger Woods, Taco Fall, Timber Falls. Timber. I get it, Woods. Tree Rollins. Nice. Not bad. It's a classic right there, man.

I have some kind of random stats that I've collected throughout this week Do you guys want to hear them? I don't know. What are they? What do they pertain to? There's a baseball stat and then there are two basketball stats and One of them is like truly sports oriented and the other two are just kind of silly. Okay Yeah, I we can start with the basketball one. Okay, so there's two basketball. Let's save the silly one for last Yeah, we'll do this. then we'll throw to Chris Cody who's on the Zoom. You wanna do the serious one first?

Wait, Chris, okay. Wait, Chris is on the Zoom. Let's get to Chris. Let's listen to this. All right, all right, we got Chris on the Zoom. Chris, can you hear us right now? There's better payoff, Chris. I can hear you. It's very echoey in here. How is my signal?

It's good. Yeah, you're good to go. Go ahead. Okay. All right.'re good to go. Go ahead. Okay. All right. Here's our elevator. Like here's our elevator staff. All right. Uh oh, this is not good.

All right. So you walk out. Here's the door. Ready for this. Watch this. All right, you walk out. Pfft. Is that a good payoff? That could not have been more anti-clinetic. I think it was so loud that the audio like clipped it.

You got a silencer on that thing or what? I'll try again. Yeah, quiet. I turned on the original sound. It's like a soft close cabinet. Yeah. Hold on. Oh man, those are nice by the way. Love a soft close.

I could use some of those. It's the best. I have a cabinet in my house that's too soft of a close and it just gets left open all the time. Cause you'll push it to close it and it will not close. It will just sit there. The technology has betrayed you. Yeah, and it's the worst because something about,

something about boyfriends, they like to leave a cabinet open. Yeah, and it's the worst because something about, something about boyfriends, they like to leave a cabinet open. Yeah, I love leaving a cabinet open. Oh yeah. There's nothing better than leaving a cabinet open or leaving. You do it on purpose, right? Yeah, of course. Yeah, because I'm gonna come back.

No, but you're not. I'm not, I forget. I hate it, I sometimes I come home and I'm like, why are all these cabinets open? Who's doing this to me? All right, give me your funny, give me your silly stat. All right, so you doing this to me? All right, give me your silly stat. All right, so you want the silly stats first? Yeah, give me the silly one first.

All right, so the first one, as of two nights ago, LeBron James's career is old enough to drink. 21 years of age to the day that he had been drafted as of a couple of nights ago. That's a little silly, I guess. That's a little silly. Here's another one. On June 26 drafted as of a couple of nights ago. It's a little silly, I guess. It's a little silly. Here's another one.

On June 26th, so a couple days ago, it was the 40th birthday of every point guard on the 2015-16 Dallas Mavericks. That's pretty quirky. Speaking of the Mavericks, they just traded Timmy, Tim Hardaway Jr. to Detroit. Yikes. Oh, that just, right now?

Oh, wow. He's gonna waste away over there. That's very sad. How'd that go? What? Did it sound loud to you? Yeah, really loud. It did not go well.

They can't all be winners, all right? No, that's not your fault. That's technology. Yeah, I think Zoom was like, this is so loud that we're gonna clip it and you won't be able to hear it. After the show, I'll get a video of it and put it out on social.

I think part of the thing also is that it's loud, but also like the entire wall shakes and you can't really capture that well on Zoom. Yeah, when it's already a shaky connection. Yeah. Oh, okay. It was Raymond Felton, JJ Barea, and Darren Williams, by the way, who were all on that team.

And then the final stat, this one's just an interesting baseball stat because I feel like we should all be celebrating it more, but no one cares about baseball the way we once did. Aaron Judge became the third player in MLB history to hit 30 homers prior to an All-Star break three times in his career joining Mark McGuire and Ken Griffey Jr. That is crazy. That's a crazy stat. He's just one of the greatest homerun hitters of all time and we're just not really caring that much. At least the first half of the season he is Saying that I think we cared. I think we cared a lot the first time he did it. I'm not gonna lie right

Right, well, I got here already seen this right We cared when he actually broke the the non steroid record and everyone was breaking into college football coverage to tell you about it That's when I turned on him right Lucy, Lucy, you weren't working here yet. I was trying to watch Wake Forest Boston College. Thank you! Wake Forest Clemson too they cut into. That was like a nine touchdown game. I wanted to see Sam Hartman.

Little did I know how much he would mean to me the following year as the Notre Dame quarterback. There was a thing that happened in baseball that we didn't cover this week which was involving Shohei Otani. I haven't seen this video yet, and neither has Chris, but I'm being told that it is crazy, and a Batboy saved him from a foul ball? Right? Before we look at it, so you're saying it's a foul ball, Batboy saves Otani.

If this is a real, if this is like, you're saving him from genuine injury and like a real thing, there needs to be like a check cut here. Watch, because that's what's happening. Here, let's play the video because it is spectacular. Oh! Oh. That's a catch on a line drive

that was headed right for Shohei Otani's face. We need to watch this like five more times. Do we have a slow motion capability? On our video? Yeah. Asking our video to do that now with three minutes left to go. I just got a no in my ear.

That is impressive. There's not enough celebration in that dugout for that. That's a $10,000 check. Oh, at the very least. That's a $700 million player. I know. That's why that's an easy. I would say triple that.

30, all right. I mean, that is terrifying. I mean, sure, he's not great with his money, so maybe. When you go to a baseball game with people, are you ever like, hey, by the way, if a foul ball comes, you're in charge of catching it. And I'm not going gonna go for it. Can't really do that anymore,

because I'm not ready. I'm going to defer. We are getting something that looks like a slow motion thing here. Not slow motion. He was gonna catch it right in the jaw. Yeah, he was. He does have quick reflexes here.

The more I see this in slow motion, he might have gotten out of the way here. Frame by frame, I'm not sure. He put his hand out, he would have broken his hand. Right. Man, that's crazy. Oh, wow, you're right. He goes right hand to protect the face. Yeah, he might have broken his hand. Right. Man, that's crazy. Oh wow, you're right. He goes right hand to protect the face.

Yeah, he might have broken his hand there. Now, he's a DH for this year at least, so that's a little better. If he was a pitcher as well this season, breaking that right hand would have been a disaster. How about Batboy, thinking the catch where like the guy, there's another player in the blue shirt. He just ducks.

And he gave it to a fan. That's what I mean. Some people's instincts are to like fend for yourself, cover yourself. When I go to a baseball game, their instincts are supposed to be to a fan. That's what I mean. Some people's instincts are to like fend for yourself, cover yourself. When I go to a baseball game, their instincts are supposed to be to protect me. I'm not gonna be able to catch things that fly at me. I know there's nets now, Roy,

but there's still foul balls. It's wild how often you see a one-handed catch at a baseball game. I saw one on Friday, it was crazy. I feel like you do see one, like every two games you go to, you're gonna see a fan just catch a ball, it's it's like it's kind of shocking every time It's usually holding something right like a baby a beer. I'm telling you

They're holding that would hit me in the head like there's a zero percent chance. I'm catching that I don't have the reflexes to catch foul balls I'm someone who I stopped by the time I was like 13 or 14 But brought my glove to games like I'm always still to this stopped by the time I was like 13 or 14, but brought my glove to games. Like I'm always still to this day going to be the one. It's like, don't worry guys, football comes our way. I'm going to be the one to try to catch it. That's just the attitude that I have.

Someone needs to step up. I should go to baseball games with you. All right, let's do it. Because I have, they have a DH. I have a designated catcher for foul balls. A DC? Yeah. One of my earliest Marlins memories is being like a little child and like, I want a designated catcher for foul balls. DC? Yeah. One of my earliest Marlins memories

is being like a little child and like, I want a foul ball, I want a foul ball. And then like in the seventh inning, I want ice cream. We go get ice cream and we get back and a foul ball came right to our seats. No way. That did not happen. I could call my mom right now.

Call her Kyle. We got him. We'll do it, we have a minute. My greatest foul ball experience was in 2003, I caught a Barry Bonds line drive hit. I was sitting like right at the front on the first baseline and he hit like a one hopper and I reached over the wall and I caught it and I held it up in the air

and my cousin went to go grab it and hit it out of my hand and it fell onto the field and thank goodness the first base coach for the Giants walked over, grabbed it and gave it back to me and I still have it in a little box in my house. I feel like I should explain where my fear comes from. My earliest baseball memory was the Steve Bartman thing, so my whole life I've always been like,

I don't wanna be the guy to do that. The person next to me can do that and save my life. Ironically, that was the series before. It was during the playoffs when the Giants were down here. That's why I hate the Marlins. What do you think Bartman's doing right now? Right now. Right now.

Probably just living his life Probably he's probably at work. I bet he's at a diner. He probably loves the whole work from home thing, right? Yeah Mmm, it doesn't have to know see anybody what a time that was. I was I was I loved that Yeah, I bet you did. Yeah. Yeah, I hated it. I've never gotten over two kids Just feeling different about things and we MMA Hangout UFC 303 on YouTube.
