The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz XX
[0] You're listening to Draft King's Network.
[1] Now's a good time to remember where the story of tequila started.
[2] In 1795, the first tequila distillery was opened by the Cuervo family.
[3] And 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong.
[4] Family owned from the start, same family, same land.
[5] Now's a good time to enjoy Cuervo.
[6] The tequila that invented tequila.
[7] Go to Quervo .com to shop tequila or visit a store near you.
[8] Quervo, now's a good time.

[14] This is the Dan Levatore show with the Stugats podcast.
[15] Today's episode is sponsored by Draft Kings.
[16] Stay tuned because you'll hear more about Draft Kings and all it has to offer throughout the show.
[17] Draft Kings, the crown is yours.
[18] I'm surrounded by my friends on a Friday.
[19] Everyone bailed.
[20] This is it.
[21] This is what happens after a week.
[22] Friday comes I think Friday is the most important show of the week personally because people tend to not take it seriously people tend to be ready for lover boy they're working for the weekend I happen to think that people want are we can we be serious here we're supposed to do a show I got no one around me everything's happening in my ear I have so many things I need to get to you know what screw it Billy I'm just starting I appreciate the year here I got Tony and Juju and Billy and Lucy and Jeremy I'm thank for the whole week we had, and I don't love the fact that yesterday I got a text from Pablo and from Dominique celebrating the week, very thankful about the week, appreciative of the week.
[23] And my view was that's like premature celebration.
[24] It's like winning the third game of a series and the whole day yesterday.
[25] We won four nothing.
[26] We swept.
[27] No, no. We need to win today.
[28] Well, they were done.
[29] But it doesn't matter that they're done.
[30] That's like saying the starting pitcher of game three wins to go up three nothing, and that means you're done.
[31] You have to win four.
[32] I have a question for you.
[33] How are you more comfortable doing a show?
[34] Because you do a show by yourself every day.
[35] Do you like that, or you liked kind of having the group do the show with you?
[36] Well, this is, you are the group.
[37] So I love, I love both.
[38] I love doing, I just finished nothing personal.
[39] So you guys, do you hear, do you hear when I'm doing the show in the mornings?
[40] Yeah.
[41] So I do it from 8 to 8 .50 every morning, and then I finish, and then we start here.
[42] And it's such a big difference.
[43] I love the sparring partners.
[44] I love being called out because, of course, when you're doing nothing personal, you're talking into the void except for coca yelling in my ear, you know, wrong or you got that wrong or did that wrong.
[45] And people here on Dan's show have no problem, including Dan, who is across the ocean, who is making sure to get in my ear.
[46] I'd be surprised if you didn't have him particularly dialed in, worried about a Friday show with just us here.
[47] Do you feel a little bit as though that we can do anything because Dan's gone, Pablo's gone, Dominique's gone?
[48] Friday's always feel that way.
[49] Yeah.
[50] Why?
[51] There's an energy to Friday because we're not doing quite as many segments as we normally do for a full show.
[52] normally Dan and Stugats aren't here on Fridays so it's just sort of shipping container lead or you know you're here or some other special guest whether that's a mean and so it's kind of like substitute teacher energy that's always kind of the vibe on Friday in a good way though because and my flight is always at 12 yeah that's also true it just brings it it brings a fun kind of frantic and interesting energy to it I don't know I don't know why substitute teachers get such a bad rap I was so mean what's the worst thing that you you all did to your substitute teachers, because I happen to remember the worst thing that I did to mine.
[53] I don't have a worse thing that we did to a substitute teacher.
[54] Not surprisingly, I was an amazing student.
[55] I had a worst thing a teacher has done, and it's lived in my brain forever, and I will never forget the time that we were in school, and we were like taking a test, and I went up to ask a question, and my teacher was shaving her legs behind her desk.
[56] No way.
[57] Yep.
[58] Did she get fired?
[59] No, she was so old.
[60] Like, she probably had, like, tenure.
[61] She did not, she was really a mean lady.
[62] She did not give one shit about anything.
[63] And Ms. Spencer, that's a common last name, so I can say it.
[64] Just sat there and shaved her legs behind the desk.
[65] Is she alive still?
[66] She was really old.
[67] And this was like 15 years ago.
[68] I had a middle school teacher that clipped her toenails during class one time.
[69] And it was one of the grossest things.
[70] Like it really, it was truly, and I forget what the name of the class was, but it was essentially like, was it health?
[71] Was it critical?
[72] Oh, it was critical thinking?
[73] It was the critical thinking class.
[74] And that was not a critical thinking type of move.
[75] I had a terrible fight with my girlfriend over this.
[76] I do not agree with clipping anything other than over a toilet or a garbage can.
[77] It seems to me a very simple rule.
[78] I don't understand why there would ever be a violation of that rule.
[79] I agree with you, actually.
[80] Right, 100%.
[81] But apparently, there are people who feel they can clip away.
[82] I once saw someone clipping at an airport.
[83] Nah, this should be locked up.
[84] If I were bigger, I have a top five list in my head of things that I wish I would do if I were a bigger person.
[85] So wait a second, you're thinking of doing like hygiene vigilanteism?
[86] Yes.
[87] If you were bigger, though.
[88] I'd have to be your size.
[89] So if you were my size, you would be the Batman of hygiene.
[90] There is not one chance I would allow someone to clip their toenails in an airport lounge.
[91] Well, what would you do just because you're bigger?
[92] You would like cause problems?
[93] Or it would just be like, you'd be physically menacing.
[94] Well, it'd be menacing.
[95] I'm not very menacing.
[96] Just puff out your chest a little bit.
[97] 65, a buck 32, you're not menacing.
[98] I can't go up to someone.
[99] And I also view that I can't go up to someone smaller than I because I don't have, I don't have the menacing credibility.
[100] Yeah.
[101] So therefore I can't do anything.
[102] Even if I were your size, Billy, I would do it.
[103] And it's not just toenails.
[104] I would do it.
[105] And there are certain times that I still do it, but only when I'm with bigger people.
[106] So I have the guts.
[107] I have to have.
[108] backup.
[109] I have to have like bodyguards, bigger friends, which is almost everybody, but or bigger people who just happen to be with me, when people drop litter on the street, what I don't do anymore because of all the violence is I have gone up to cars when people throw stuff out of their car window.
[110] If I catch them at a light, I would, I used to before there was a risk of being shot.
[111] I would say, excuse me, you dropped garbage on the street.
[112] But now I don't do it anymore.
[113] You would get out of your car and go...
[114] It's a window roll.
[115] Oh, okay.
[116] It's a window roll.
[117] Okay, so you would pull up in the lane next to somebody.
[118] Because I'm envisioning you parked behind someone.
[119] At a red light, getting out of your car, walking up and knocking on the window and saying, excuse me, sir, madam, you just dropped this Cheetos bag on the floor.
[120] I have done that in a grocery store parking lot.
[121] In a public's parking lot, when someone left a cart in the way of...
[122] a car and it starts rolling and they ignore it, I have had the guts because I feel like even large people may be armed when they're protecting like milk and eggs.
[123] They don't want to delay getting back in the Florida heat to the fridge.
[124] So I have an ongoing feud that this person is unaware of with someone that lives in my neighborhood.
[125] And I think I know who this person is.
[126] And there's a person.
[127] So when I walk my dogs around the neighborhood, I will go and I have a little baggies, right?
[128] And that's not something that everybody does, and that's not common in every area, right?
[129] But, like, I have been conditioned with these dogs because the apartment that I lived at before had, like, the dog bags and it was, like, very, you know, not that I was just walking around, leaving dog crap everywhere anyways, but, like, since I've had my dogs, I've been conditioned, this is the right way to do.
[130] This is the correct way to behave with a dog.
[131] So there's a dog that always poops right near my mailbox.
[132] So it's like there's grass, by the mailbox, the mailboxes by the curb, and there's poop there regularly.
[133] And if I don't look down, I'll step in the poop, or if, you know, my mother -in -law comes over, sometimes she'll park there, and, like, that's where she'll step, and there's poop there.
[134] So I've come up with this plan, and I haven't executed it yet, and it's kind of along the lines of what you're thinking, because, like, I don't want to get shot, like, not high on my list of things that I want to do, but I want this to stop.
[135] So I was thinking of maybe getting, like, one of those deer cam things and putting it, like, in a tree right facing the area where it is.
[136] To catch the dog.
[137] To catch the person, not the dog.
[138] I mean, the dog doesn't know any better, right?
[139] The dog's just doing what dogs do.
[140] But I want to catch the person, and this is where I need help.
[141] This is the next step that I've come up with that I don't think is necessarily the best way to handle this situation.
[142] I want to catch the person, and then I want to print a picture of me catching the person, and I want to post it on my mailbox, and I want to put on the paper, up your shit asshole.
[143] But I feel like that's a little bit much and then that will lead to me getting shot.
[144] And also, I'm then, they know where I live.
[145] So then this could be a lot worse.
[146] Like, when you do something confrontational, I feel like one of the big keys is people not knowing where you live.
[147] Because if they know where you live, then it's a lot worse.
[148] I just don't agree that it's confrontational when people are crapping on your property.
[149] Well, I mean, I could use nicer words, obviously.
[150] But no, I'm saying that that is something, I think that that's a normal, thing to say to a neighbor.
[151] It's not like turn your music down at 7 p .m. when you're having a small get -together, something that someone does every day.
[152] Asking a dog not to crap on your lawn, am I missing something?
[153] Or is that not a very normal neighborly thing to do?
[154] Look, I don't fault the dog, right?
[155] If the dog's going to go there, okay, but can you pick it up?
[156] And like, not just leave it there.
[157] And I'm pretty sure I know exactly who this is, but I don't want to be confrontational.
[158] Also, the person's a little bit older, so, like, I don't want to also be confrontational in case I spook this person too much, and then I'm liable for something.
[159] What about having your wife do it?
[160] Oh, I mean, that's usually my go -to for every confrontation I have.
[161] It's like, she will handle those situations.
[162] So much so that, like, I will say, please don't have these confrontations because this will make the situation a lot worse than it needs to be.
[163] Like, please don't confront that person.
[164] Now, if it's the way that my meal's cooked or something, that's okay.
[165] Because she'll be nice about it.
[166] Yeah, no, but I also, like, I will eat the wrong meal all the time.
[167] Or if if it's cooked the wrong way, all the time.
[168] I will never send anything back.
[169] I've never sent anything back.
[170] Never, ever.
[171] And like we've talked about, I think, on Mystery Crete before, we're like, I will take things to go that I didn't like just because I feel the shame of leaving it behind.
[172] And I don't want to insult the person.
[173] It could be a bad meal.
[174] And I will ask for a to go box, and then I'll take it with me home and throw it away at home just so that they don't see it.
[175] Or I do the old move.
[176] And again, we're in reruns here.
[177] But I'll do the old move where I pretend that I forgot the box.
[178] And it stays on the table.
[179] Like, whoopsie, Daisy.
[180] I meant to take this home.
[181] It was so delicious.
[182] I know I'm playing Monday morning quarterback right here, but I feel like it was a risk for being shot your whole life, picking up people's trash, taking it to the window.
[183] I don't know if there's the 60s or the 70s when you grew up, but Pistols was real out of the whole time.
[184] But Billy, I think you just put a sign on your mailbox that says, that says, do not crap on my lawn.
[185] You're on camera.
[186] Yeah, there's people in my neighborhood that have that, like, that say, like, don't pee on my lawn or don't, whatever.
[187] Do they get peed on their lawn?
[188] I walk faster past those houses, to be honest.
[189] You should just put really passive -aggressive signs up.
[190] I have signs all over my house, folks.
[191] I admit it inside my house.
[192] I have two particular ones that are my favorite.
[193] One is that I have a piece of art that is relatively close to the top of a piece of furniture, and it's upon the entrance to the house, and people tend, for whatever reason, which I'll never understand, they walk into your house and they feel like they can put their bag on the first ledge they see.
[194] not sure that that is proper you put it on the floor or you ask where may I put my bag so I have a sign that says please do not leave objects on this surface because I don't want...
[195] Like you're at a museum so it's that what kind of bags they be bringing to your house bro?
[196] People bring purses or they bring beach bags or whatever they're bringing I just don't want anything because there is a risk if you grab the bag that you could stick a finger through a piece of art but that's one the one that bothers me the most.
[197] What kind of art is it that you can put your finger through it?
[198] Smithsonian?
[199] Canvas.
[200] Any oil on canvas you can put a finger through.
[201] Or like dent it?
[202] Well, sometimes it can dent or put it through.
[203] That's a peek into your life.
[204] That's how rich you are.
[205] No, I didn't say it was good art. I just said it's any art. David just likes protecting art. Good art, bad art, whatever.
[206] I protect art. But the other thing I protect is electricity usage.
[207] I like lights being turned off.
[208] I don't like when people leave lights on when they go outside or when they're guests of your house drives me crazy when guests go out to dinner and leave the lights on in the guest room.
[209] So I'm constantly reminding people with a sign, please turn lights off when leaving the room.
[210] So every switch has one?
[211] What do you mean it with a sign?
[212] Like all your lights switch is your signs?
[213] No, no, upon the entrance to the room.
[214] Are you like running a bed and breakfast?
[215] So you have like rules in the different room?
[216] So I am a great host actually because when people come to my place, I show them the refrigerator, the food, do whatever you want.
[217] The only rule is don't ask me for anything.
[218] I don't want to do anything.
[219] I'm not cooking for you.
[220] I'm not getting you stuff.
[221] You're allowed to touch and do whatever you want, but just follow the simple rules.
[222] The Wi -Fi password is a very easy one, which I'm happy to give publicly.
[223] It's keep it clean.
[224] Very normal.
[225] Any caps in there or no?
[226] Just I'm not going to tell you, but just keep, no, yes.
[227] Just keep the house clean.
[228] And then the sign in the gym is my last one.
[229] It's not a gym.
[230] I have a treadmill.
[231] that people take a little fridge that I got on Amazon for 40 bucks.
[232] And have you ever had a fridge where you just close it, but then it opens up a little bit so it doesn't fully close?
[233] Yeah, of course.
[234] I could do it too hard or whatever.
[235] And then all of a sudden, your stuff isn't cold.
[236] And I go down to work out, and the drinks I want aren't cold, so I have a sign that says, please make sure a refrigerator door is closed.
[237] Damn, bro.
[238] If I come to your house, I'll be mad as hell.
[239] No, I think people have fun.
[240] I've never had a complaint because, People love rules.
[241] What I've heard most is people love understanding expectations.
[242] What is expected of me as a guest of your home?
[243] What is it?
[244] I want to be a good guest.
[245] Most people want to be a good guest.
[246] And they don't want to be put in a position where they don't know what the host wants.
[247] Are you someone who gets frustrated if someone doesn't turn off a light leaving a room momentarily?
[248] So like, for example, if I was staying in the guest room, but I had to walk out to go down to the living room for some sort of reason, and we're having a conversation, and I know I'm going to be back in 10, 15 minutes.
[249] No problem.
[250] I'm talking when you're going out to dinner, leaving for the night.
[251] Leaving for the night.
[252] Or leaving for the day.
[253] That's respectable.
[254] What about when someone you know comes to your house and breast their teeth and they don't turn the water off while they breast their teeth?
[255] I don't either.
[256] I don't either.
[257] Oh, well.
[258] And that's too bad because I'm lucky enough to have traveled around places where water is not something that is taking, it's not taken for granted.
[259] And for whatever reason, I need to leave the water running because I have a particular need to rinse the brush, let's say, every 15 strokes, and I don't want to have to keep turning it on or off.
[260] What do these signs look like?
[261] Did you print them on a printer?
[262] Are they laminated?
[263] You can get them online.
[264] I searched direction signs for your house.
[265] Customizable?
[266] They're customizable signs.
[267] It may be called customizable signs.
[268] Are they, like, special font, special color?
[269] I have different fonts for each of the different signs.
[270] Why?
[271] Because I believe, again, welcome to my brain.
[272] I think people respond to block font in a little more serious way than like Times font or italicized font.
[273] So I want a little cursive.
[274] I want a cursive.
[275] Papyrus.
[276] In the NFL, there is no margin for error.
[277] One mistake can change the outcome of the game.

[303] Don Libotard.
[304] Oh, I like firing people.
[305] So I take the opportunity to fire whenever I possibly can because I can use it as a learning experience for them and try to help them out and try to point out what they did wrong.
[306] But in this case, the employee was enough levels below where I was that I did not do the firing, but I had it done within moments of discovery.
[307] I love the idea.
[308] I like firing people.
[309] It's just absurd.
[310] It's absurd.
[311] Stugats.
[312] I'm talking about people.
[313] who I fire, who deserve it, who have done something that actively requires me to fire them, it is my unadulterated pleasure to do so.
[314] This is the Dan Labarthur show with the Stugat.
[315] You know, oh, speaking of pirates, Paul Skeen's, 11 Ks yesterday, holy good, bro, I thought he was going to slow down.
[316] Did you think that he shouldn't have been taken out of the game?
[317] I mean, I think let the boy cook at it.
[318] If you're going to put him out there, you're the pirates, you're not going to where I think you should start ramping him down.
[319] I think they should, I like it.
[320] They're in the wild card race, on the periphery, but they're not going anywhere.
[321] The thing was Paul is in Tommy John race, but peripherally.
[322] I didn't have time to ask for the Derek Shelton video, so I don't know if we have it.
[323] Derek Shelton met the media, he's the manager of the pirates, and he gave the lamest BS excuse about why Skeen's was out.
[324] He said, oh, we had eyes on him.
[325] He looked tired.
[326] It wasn't pitch count.
[327] I don't know why anyone's saying pitch count.
[328] Coincidence was 99 pitches.
[329] We took him out because he was.
[330] tired.
[331] We've never seen it, but he looked tired to us.
[332] He threw 120 or more pitches in three out of his four starts during their run to the College World Series.
[333] He's a horse.
[334] Like, he's a guy who can absolutely go over 100 pitches.
[335] And I understand pitch count.
[336] I understand the way that we baby arms now.
[337] But Paul Skeens is one of those guys physically who seems to be built for the long haul.
[338] And inevitably, like all, of these guys who throw that hard.
[339] There will be some sort of injury somewhere down the line, but it's just so frustrating.
[340] The no -hitter or the perfect game as a concept, the fact that baseball gets in its own way in having these special moments, it's infuriating.
[341] It made me angry.
[342] I hate pitchers getting removed in the middle of no -hitter.
[343] I mean, I hate Dave Roberts for that reason because he does it all the time.
[344] I hated Don Mattingly for doing it constantly.
[345] It's not their decision.
[346] No, I hate them anyways.
[347] I just, I hate when you take out the picture.
[348] Hate the people who make the decision.
[349] Eh, well, who do I hate?
[350] Do I hate you?
[351] Was it you?
[352] Did you do this?
[353] We had strict pitch counts.
[354] Well, okay, let me ask you, because you're in a unique position, right?
[355] You have these strict pitch counts.
[356] You want to protect the asset, right?
[357] But also, you have, you're preventing a moment that you could market and capitalize off of.
[358] So how do you weigh those options in your position?
[359] It's a major problem.
[360] And the problem is that as president, to the team, I wanted the no -hitter because I'm collecting ticket stubs.
[361] I'm ready to sell the ticket stubs.
[362] I'm having the players sign all the bases and balls.
[363] We're taking all the game -use balls.
[364] You know, when after every pitch the catcher throws the ball away, we're getting those.
[365] We're getting them authenticated.
[366] We'll get the pitcher to sign them.
[367] And we've got things that we can auction off on MLB .com or put in our team store.
[368] But the GM has already made the decision and convinced the owner that if you let this guy go, you're going to have a problem.
[369] And my view is that I want to look at the game.
[370] But the decisions are made before the game starts.
[371] So like yesterday, Skeen's was fine.
[372] He looked great.
[373] I had no issue with him at all.
[374] He got through the seventh inning and, what was it, six pitches?
[375] It's amazing that we don't seem to take high stress innings into account.
[376] All the time you have to take that into account.
[377] But now analytics does not worry about that.
[378] Why?
[379] because stress innings are based on this, your eye.
[380] And analytics says, no, we're not interested in that.
[381] It's infuriating the way that we treat arms in Major League Baseball now because if it's obvious, right.
[382] The more, it's a structural issue that dates all the way down to kids playing travel baseball.
[383] But by babying arms all the way through, you're only making this worse.
[384] you're only making your injury epidemic worse because you baby these arms and yet you tell your pitchers to hunt for velocity.
[385] And so those are sort of counterproductive things when it comes to injuries.
[386] And so you treat these guys like they're incapable of going deep into games.
[387] But every pitcher and every pitcher's pitch count is different based off what their velocity is.
[388] Tony's are athlete.
[389] It's infuriating.
[390] You know, the players never like that.
[391] when I talked about this stuff because I wasn't a player.
[392] Tony, did you ever think that anyone could take care of your body better than you or know your body better than you?
[393] I think it depends too, like if you're injured or oft injured that you have something that you're working back from.
[394] Like I've worked back from a knee injury where I felt like, oh, did I have the step that I had prior to the surgery or whatever?
[395] So for me, that was always difficult because you always know your body.
[396] But I think there's a differentiation when you have something that could get injured or something that was already injured, right?
[397] Like, if you look at these guys' arms, they're okay until they aren't.
[398] Dave, you know more than anybody.
[399] It's like that one pitch until forearm tightness, elbow tightness, tricep tightness, it can be one pitch away.
[400] So when you look at guys that were built to look like horses and throw nine innings, look at Strasbourg.
[401] Strasbourg was a horse.
[402] He was coming out of San Diego State, I think, or whatever, and he looked amazing.
[403] And then all of a sudden his career derailed because one thing after another after another.
[404] And it's like it's having a Lamborghini of Ferrari or a super specialized car that you take one screw a little loose and the entire car got to get some nuts up.
[405] Do you think the all -star game was at play here?
[406] No, he was going to start the all -star game either way.
[407] So had he gone?
[408] He just had to get through, he had to get through the game.
[409] My opinion, this hasn't been made public, so I have no idea.
[410] He'll probably start.
[411] My opinion is that he had to get through the game healthy and he did get through the start healthy and then they will announce him as the starter.
[412] They have to.
[413] It makes perfect sense.
[414] We all want to watch them.
[415] And I assume they make the line of, The manager of the All -Star game said yesterday, he's evaluating the manager of the Dimex.
[416] I'm evaluating who's going to start.
[417] He's so full of it.
[418] He has no say whatsoever.
[419] None.
[420] It is all the commissioner's office who decides who the starting pitcher is.
[421] Oh, I'm going to figure out what my lineup's going to be.
[422] No, no, you're not.
[423] Pretend you're managing your actual team where you also don't have a say in your lineup.
[424] So red or black font on these signs?
[425] It's blue background with white font.
[426] for the one in the...
[427] What color are your walls?
[428] Bro, breaking news, bro.
[429] We just found a picture of your damn living room.
[430] Somebody sent a candid camera picture, bro.
[431] This is crazy, man. Come on, bro.
[432] You got to take some of them down.
[433] Do not watch.
[434] Don't look outside, bro.
[435] You can't even peek out the window.
[436] I'm the opposite of that.
[437] I have every streaming service available in every guest room.
[438] And every bathroom is full of every condiment you could ever need.
[439] From combs.
[440] Are you eating in your baths?
[441] Condiment.
[442] What's the word for?
[443] for, I have Advil, Tylenol, tampons, dental floss, combs, toothbrush, toothpaste.
[444] I think we call that accoutrema.
[445] Acutremal?
[446] Is your house like an Airbnb when you're out there?
[447] No, I do not allow strangers in the house.
[448] Really?
[449] Ever.
[450] There will never be an Airbnb.
[451] Can you, me?
[452] Are you joking?
[453] I don't know.
[454] Wait, you put my stuff in a closet?
[455] So your signs are blue?
[456] What color your walls?
[457] White?
[458] Hmm.
[459] Seems like it stands out.
[460] Toiletries?
[461] Is that, is that maybe the one we're looking for?
[462] Toiletries.
[463] But Advil, I don't view Advil and Tylenol's toilet trees.
[464] Yeah, well, that's different.
[465] That's medicine, I guess.
[466] It's, but I also have Gaviscon in every room.
[467] I know what Gaviscon is, but my happy birthday, Lucy's bet.
[468] Praise God.
[469] My sister doesn't know what that means.
[470] Happy birthday to her.
[471] I don't care.
[472] Good luck.
[473] That's so mean.
[474] I care.
[475] I hate that sound.
[476] I think Gaviscon is the guy that Bell was like.
[477] He was going after Bell and Beauty and the Beast.
[478] Oh, yeah.
[479] Yeah, he won't a tie.
[480] Why don't you like your birthday?
[481] Just don't.
[482] Yeah.
[483] Can you, was that, did you not have good parties when you were nine?
[484] I never really had birthday parties.
[485] My birthday was in the middle of the summer, so everyone was out of town.
[486] My dad usually made us go to Des Moines for my birthday.
[487] Nice.
[488] No, not nice.
[489] It was not the most fun birthday.
[490] So I just, I've never really cared for it.
[491] It's not anything like getting older.
[492] I don't really care about it.
[493] brought that.
[494] Just not a birthday gal.
[495] Are you going to be with your friends tonight?
[496] I don't have any friends.
[497] Are you going to be with your co -workers tonight?
[498] No. Lucy, I consider you a friend.
[499] I think you are a great friend.
[500] You came to Atlanta, me, you and Rose hung out, and I feel like we made a bond.
[501] We did.
[502] And we're matching sweatshirts.
[503] You feel me?
[504] Us being kind of new here and not necessarily Miamians.
[505] We shared a couple of great conversations.
[506] So I honor your friendship and I wish you nothing but the best, sis.
[507] Thank you, Juju.
[508] I love you.
[509] But Jess is out of town.
[510] So I'm actually watching Willel.
[511] Wow.
[512] So it's a Lucy and Willow day.
[513] You are a good person.
[514] I wouldn't watch someone's dog for a gazillion dollars.
[515] As a matter of fact, there are two rules.
[516] Since you're talking about other rules at the house, I do have two other rules.
[517] No kids, no pets.
[518] No kids.
[519] Why do you guys got a cat to stray?
[520] I just don't want kids in the house.
[521] Can your kids come over?
[522] They're not kids.
[523] Okay.
[524] Oh, it's funny.
[525] You think kids could mean like 30 -year -olds.
[526] No, I don't know.
[527] No, I meant kids like...
[528] swings up in the house?
[529] What's you got going on in there, man?
[530] I just don't want kids around.
[531] Kids touch stuff.
[532] I don't want anyone touching stuff.
[533] And kids make mess.
[534] I also have a very bad habit.
[535] My last one that I'll mention is I tend to vacuum while people are still eating as a way to let them know that they're dropping crumbs on the floor and it's driving me crazy.
[536] Why does anyone stay at your house?
[537] Because we have fun.
[538] Do we?
[539] We really do.
[540] I'm painting it as though it's not fun.
[541] Yes.
[542] But it really is.
[543] You have a pool in the back or what?
[544] There is.
[545] Not allowed in it, but.
[546] No, no. Totally allowed.
[547] Shower first.
[548] How about after?
[549] Shower after?
[550] Generally, you're supposed to.
[551] Doesn't everybody shower?
[552] If you have a couple staying with you, can they get intimate in your house?
[553] They do, and it can be heard.
[554] It can be heard.
[555] Yes.
[556] So the way houses are built, the walls are not necessarily thick.
[557] I immediately regret this question.
[558] Out of everything that happened this week, they're going to regret like hearing some ooze and oz, given everything Lucy was not here for.
[559] But did you, were you happy with the week?
[560] I actually was moving this week, so I did not have a chance to listen to the show.
[561] So your girl's been packing and packing and packing.
[562] Are you watching Willow in a new place?
[563] No, I'm staying at Jess's place, and I'm watching Willow there.
[564] Do you get to stay in her bedroom?
[565] Yeah, if I want to.
[566] She has two beds So I slept in Like Ricky Ricardo and Lucy Ricardo Yeah exactly So she has like two rooms So I'm going to switch it up and sleep in a different room Tonight to figure out which room I like more A little Goldilocks action Will it be based on air conditioning?
[567] I don't know, it'll just be based on vibes Sounds?
[568] Vibes?
[569] Vibes, yeah Which room do I sleep better in?
[570] Speaking of vibes The Espies happened last night Holy moly Jalen Brown pulled up with Kaiser they was looking stunning.
[571] Serena was a great host.
[572] She did a couple, she threw a couple jabs at Drake.
[573] You know what I mean?
[574] It was lovely.
[575] Did y 'all watch that?
[576] I actually saw highlights and I saw some on social media and I like that Jalen Brown was asked, of course.
[577] What would you ask Jalen Brown?
[578] You'd ask, hey, are you despondent that you're not on Team USA?
[579] And he was much more focused on his date.
[580] As he should be.
[581] He said, I want you all to look at who I'm with, not what I'm doing.
[582] The SBs used to be...
[583] They used to mean something.
[584] I know this sounds old.
[585] They used to mean something.
[586] I woke up today and I found out the SPs were yesterday.
[587] I couldn't believe it.
[588] Also, because the SPs historically have been the day after the MLB all -star game.
[589] When there used to be no sports, but now there are sports because of WMBA.
[590] And maybe MLS, I assume, may have games.
[591] Yeah, but MLB had games yesterday.
[592] WMBA had games yesterday.
[593] There's winners not present.
[594] I don't understand why they did it.
[595] And also, I mean, I don't know if everyone experienced this the same way.
[596] I had no idea the SVs.
[597] were coming up and it could be maybe because I've switched from like traditional cable to streaming where like now I will go and find it as opposed to when I had cable I just have the TV on it was on ESPN all the time and when we were there obviously I was constantly hearing SP week SP week the SPs are coming up I had no idea I found out on Twitter and I didn't turn to it because I wasn't engaged in the SPs the way I used to be and it's not an age I don't want to call myself oh I used to think that winning an SPI was a thing I viewed it as Oscars light.
[598] Brough, just because y 'all don't go to the beach don't mean Cisco ain't out there doing the thong song right now.
[599] Like, the SP still means a lot, brothers.
[600] Like, you got two kids now, so your focus ain't there and you got a show to do this week, so your focus is not big.
[601] Brother, it's people that's been locked in on these SPs.
[602] Like, people won great awards last night.
[603] Were there any upsets?
[604] I mean, I just like the fact that Caitlin was celebrated, Juju Wackers was celebrated.
[605] It was just a night of celebration and fun.
[606] And I don't get to see Serena in those kind of, atmospheres like that.
[607] She showed her personality.
[608] I loved it.
[609] But that's the thing that's frustrating about it, right?
[610] Is that they did at a time they can't actually be there to be celebrated.
[611] Like, they're celebrating them from afar, as opposed to kind of accommodating the athlete's scheduled.
[612] Do they have Zoom acceptance speeches?
[613] No, I think they were playing games.
[614] They, yeah, so like, Asia Wilson and Caitlin both won awards and they just, like, filmed a video that they played.
[615] Something, I wanted to watch it simply because this was the only time they were ever going to talk about Iowa at any major award show ever.
[616] So I said, I am not going to miss this moment.
[617] But when I was like trying to watch it, it wasn't even on ESPN.
[618] Like it was like some home run derby preview show on ESPN, which I didn't watch.
[619] I'm sorry, Billy.
[620] And so it was only on ABC when I was trying to watch it.
[621] Maybe that changed.
[622] But I was like, aren't the SBs on ESPN?
[623] This is why I realized.
[624] So did they delay the start of the ESPs for the Biden press conference?
[625] They did.
[626] So the live show got delayed.
[627] I started watching the Biden press conference at 6 .30 when he was supposed to go on.
[628] I was announced.
[629] And he went on at 727.
[630] And off at 826, what time did the SB start?
[631] I don't know.
[632] Right after?
[633] Literally right then, yeah.
[634] And it opened up with, I think Sierra did a musical number.
[635] But Caitlin did win, so that was super, super cool for me. Prince Harry won too.
[636] Yeah, that was weird.
[637] You won the Pat Tillman Award.
[638] That feels strange, right?
[639] I think that they thought good ratings, get Megan Markle and Prince Harry.
[640] I doubt it made any difference whatsoever.
[641] They have fallen like a meteor.
[642] And they could have really, I think we were talking about this a little bit before the show when we were discussing the SBs and Serena hosting and everything there.
[643] The idea that the two of them sort of like took the money from Spotify and Netflix and everybody after.
[644] not embracing the royalty, they could have remained popular by just leaving the royal family and sort of staying out of the limelight for a little while.
[645] But when they cashed in immediately, it kind of like ruined the appeal of what it was that they were doing.
[646] I'm trying to think about anyone in my lifetime who's fallen more out of grace than Harry and Megan.
[647] They were...
[648] Antonio, Brown.
[649] Yeah, I mean, there's some examples.
[650] Antonio Brown, though, was never, I mean, it's the top five list, but was he ever as high as Harry and Megan?
[651] Well, nobody is.
[652] I mean, and I don't, I mean, in terms of level, you have someone, Lucy?
[653] Bill Cosby.
[654] Kevin Spacey, there's no way he was as high.
[655] Bill Cosby's an interesting one.
[656] Will Smith, slap hurt around the world.
[657] But his cue.
[658] And he's back.
[659] And he's back.
[660] He's back in a major way.
[661] Because of bad boys.
[662] seven with Jimmy Butler.
[663] He has spunk.
[664] He has charisma, his son got it, his daughter got it, his wife got it.
[665] Can't do number -rise.
[666] I'm going to say that Prince Harry is better known than Will Smith or Bill Cosby around the world.
[667] Maybe Justin Timberlake might be on this list.
[668] No way.
[669] He's getting there.
[670] He was as popular as any artist in the world for a stretch there.
[671] And right now, he is certainly not beloved.
[672] I must be overvaluing.
[673] I have a very hard time with fame in with players and with putting people at their right levels.
[674] Tom Sandoval, he was likedish, and then he cheated on Ariana with Raquel, and then that became a whole thing, even though it worked out for Ariana because - Is that up the Bravo thing?
[675] Yeah, it is.
[676] It's a joke.
[677] No, but that's, but that's good.
[678] There's a whole, there's a whole thing.
[679] It worked out great for Aiana, if we're going to be honest.
[680] I get it.
[681] Really?
[682] Yes.
[683] Wow.
[684] But it's not, that's not even in the same, that's like single A compared to Harry and Megan.
[685] Oh, yes, obviously.
[686] I'm not sure that there's their major league.
[687] They didn't, like, fall from Grace that much.
[688] Like, I don't think people actively hate them, and they're not, like, bad people.
[689] Like, I don't.
[690] It's just more irrelevant.
[691] My thing is, yeah, I don't think about them, ever.
[692] Exactly.
[693] Which is allegedly, it's allegedly what they wanted until no one thought about them, and then they wanted everyone to think about them.
[694] And now they're at the espies.
[695] Yeah.
[696] I really wanted to do a stat of the day, Billy.
[697] okay can I do one about Prince Harry I do have a stat about Prince Harry but no that's not the stat of the day what's your stat about Prince Harry his lack of relevance that's not a stat though that feels like an opinion an opinion aren't all stats of the day opinions the reference I don't believe so I think that's kind of the definition of stat that it has to be real yeah that it's not an opinion yeah I got to know Tony been showing me too much, bro.
[698] There's a lot going on with you guys.
[699] I'm breaking my dollars.
[700] Tony, they got us.
[701] Come from behind the sheet.
[702] What's happening?
[703] They got us.
[704] We don't need to do it, Billy.
[705] The espies was delayed for some crazy stuff.
[706] I'll just say that.
[707] That's all I'm going to say.
[708] It was some crazy stuff happening before the espies last night.
[709] I give Dan credit because what I'm looking at when you guys are doing what you're doing and when I sat there yesterday I couldn't feel more left out.
[710] The two of you are laughing.
[711] You're talking to each other.
[712] Meanwhile, Jeremy's talking, Lucy's talking.
[713] Sometimes when Lucy's talking, I can't hear it because she's talking to somebody, not me. Don't know who.
[714] Talking to Billy, I guess.
[715] I'm reading your lips only.
[716] Didn't even hear you say that.
[717] Fit in.
[718] Very long.
[719] It's not going to be in there, Billy.
[720] You got to be in there it.
[721] There it is.
[722] Start of the day, start of the day, start of the day.
[723] And this year, start of the day.
[724] Start of the day, start of the day, start of the day.
[725] Start of the day Start of the day It is the start of the day God, that goes 10 seconds too long Do you want to know the number of pitchers To have multiple starts of zero hits As in zero hits With 11 plus strikeouts in a season The number of pitchers to have multiple starts in one season No hits 11 strikeouts Two Nolan Ryan and Paul Skeins.
[726] He's amazing.
[727] A follow -up to that is that Randy Johnson and Max Scher combined for two starts in their entire careers with no hits and 11 strikeouts, and Paul Skeens has now done it two times in his first 11 starts.
[728] And you're worried that he's not going to start the All -Star game?
[729] Oh, he'll start the All -Star game.
[730] He's more relevant than Harry right now, which shocks me. Happy birthday, Losey.
