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.

[10] Proximo.
[11] Jersey City, New Jersey, please drink responsibly.
[12] Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by Draft Kings.
[13] Why are you listening to this show?
[14] The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast.
[15] I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.
[16] In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.
[17] I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there.
[18] That hasn't happened to you guys?
[19] I've done it.
[20] And now, here's the Marching Man to Nowhere, Fat Face, and The Habitual Liar.
[21] One of the best things about sitting alone, and there aren't many, because I don't love to be alone, is that I get to side when we can talk movies.
[22] And I get to fart.
[23] I'm not a big farter.
[24] I'm a burper.
[25] People have always known that about me. It's very strange, actually.
[26] Everybody knows that about you?
[27] Yeah, they do.
[28] How do you control your farts versus your burbs?
[29] I just, I don't have, my gas goes north, not south.
[30] Oh.
[31] It's from all of them jelly beans you'd be eating now today, bro.
[32] It could be.
[33] I have, I thought that I could whip out the candy, but I'm not that hungry, thanks to the great waffles and eggs I had prior.
[34] But I get to talk movies, and there's no one I'd rather talk movies with than Adnan.
[35] And guess what, Adnan?
[36] Welcome to the show.
[37] Adnan, of course.
[38] You watch you on MLB Network.
[39] You listen to a cinefile pod.
[40] And we have no one to say they don't want to talk about what we want to talk about.
[41] And guess what?
[42] I'm in charge.
[43] We're going all day.
[44] David, I love this.
[45] This is when adversaries become friends, right?
[46] Fos become accomplices, because you and are right.
[47] We have the same mind.
[48] We want to talk movies.
[49] We want to talk baseball, the hell and everything else.
[50] So thanks for having me in the show.
[51] And congrats to all you guys.
[52] I watched a sex therapist asking for a friend.
[53] Just want to double check.
[54] Gooch's perennium on the East Coast, right?
[55] Yes, sir.
[56] How did I know that you would have to watch that segment?
[57] Yeah, that's honestly, I've been really busy.
[58] We covered a lot of ground, man, man. You know what was it, baseball, Wimbledon?
[59] But I did squeeze in time for 15 minutes of Amber.
[60] She was terrific.
[61] So, except that's not her name.
[62] So I really appreciate that.
[63] But I like to have to mention Dr. Ruth.
[64] Good throwback to bringing him Dr. Ruth, by the way.
[65] That was great.
[66] It got me thinking about movies with sexy scenes.
[67] There's a lot of scenes.
[68] I don't mean sex scenes, though you could interpret it that way.
[69] I want to give you a top five lists, and I want you guys to think about it.
[70] and you guys are going to be engaged here, even you guys, the top five sexiest scenes in any movie.
[71] Hey, I'm listening.
[72] Are we ready?
[73] Yes, Sarski.
[74] Adnan.
[75] I bet you say, David, you can just tell.
[76] The entire audience just perked up.
[77] Everyone did that big lean into the chair.
[78] Like, okay, these guys start messing around today.
[79] I am ready.
[80] Top five sexiest scenes in movies.
[81] You're starting.
[82] That's what we're doing differently.
[83] Oh, my God.
[84] We're not going to cut you off this time.
[85] I'm running.
[86] I'm your captain now.
[87] I love it.
[88] You're starting.
[89] Okay, so this is one that only David's going to appreciate and the heck with everybody who's not going to appreciate.
[90] But David Will, 1981, Body Heat, William Hurth, the late William Hurd, smashing the glass to attack Kathleen Turner.
[91] I mean, it's borderline assault, but it's an unbelievable scene of just, just carnal instinct and human sexuality taking over.
[92] It's a great film noir from Lawrence Kasden, Body Heat, Bill Hurt, Kathleen Turner.
[93] Back me up, David.
[94] That's a really, really good movie.
[95] It's old, but it's a movie.
[96] That movie probably ages only okay, but that scene ages really well.
[97] Well said.
[98] Number four, this is a little bit more current.
[99] I know the rest of the crew has seen this one.
[100] Black Swan, okay?
[101] We want to make sure we include same -sex romance.
[102] So we've got Natalie Portman and Milak Kunis, little girl -on -girl -action, very, very hot scene.
[103] I don't think you have to put same -sex in a top -five list.
[104] happens to be a really sexy scene that's a tough movie to watch that's a movie you'd like to rewatch movies with great sexy scenes that's one i've watched one time black swan i went down that as well i've seen it one it's too unnerving it's too claustrophobic it's too claustrophobic erinofska a great director obviously she deserved the oscar apartment but you're right it's a tough watch to watch over and over but all the scene number three oldie bit of goody from 1990 that's right it's ghost Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore playing with the pottery.
[105] Who doesn't get all the feels watching that scene?
[106] Very erotic.
[107] Every time I see someone taking a pottery class, I'm thinking of ghost.
[108] I think that's the most copied, sexy scene of any movie.
[109] I think there's so many movies where they do a takeoff of the pottery scene and Patrick Swayze behind Demi Moore and showing her how to form a pot.
[110] I've been in pottery classes in high school, and I've got to tell you, it wasn't exactly like that.
[111] Where is my Demi Moore?
[112] David Samson was crying out.
[113] Number two, Hallie Berry won an Academy Award.
[114] Monsters Ball.
[115] I want you to make you feel good.
[116] There it is.
[117] She'll be good.
[118] Her and Billy Bob Thornton going out of it.
[119] Jujo, back me up.
[120] Hallie, Monster's Ball.
[121] Forget about it.
[122] She won an Oscar, but that scene is unbelievable.
[123] Yes, sir.
[124] That living room was going down.
[125] Oh, there's been some weird segments, but I'm about in.
[126] That living room, it was, I'm with you bit, bro.
[127] That may be the sexiest.
[128] scene for an Oscar winner in the hit that would be a different top five yeah she did win an Oscar for that role and that scene I thought when I first watched Monster's ball that they were really doing it yeah and they did that to David's point we could use a frame by frame analysis to be a good excuse to you know for homework and such but it's definitely they're moving positions around it's very aggressive and Billy Bob's a method actor so wouldn't be out of the question.
[129] All right.
[130] Next.
[131] Number one.
[132] I think this is unquestionable number one, David.
[133] I don't know how we're going to top this.
[134] Sharon Stone uncrossed your legs and basic instinct.
[135] I mean, the entire audience was like Wayne Knight, better known as Newman from Seinfeld.
[136] The way he's, you know, the sweats for me. It's staring in there, this this obese, grotesque man, just staring at Sharon Stone cross your legs.
[137] Unbelievable.
[138] Is basic instinct a movie that you've not seen, Lucy?
[139] Nope.
[140] Have you ever heard of it?
[141] Um, no. I have I haven't really been listening this whole segment, though.
[142] I'm a little uncomfortable.
[143] It's kind of a weird.
[144] This is kind of a weird birthday.
[145] It got weird when, at Nant's hand, little girl -on -girl action.
[146] That was the moment where I checked.
[147] I'm not the phrase I would have used.
[148] I don't want to make it on cover for you.
[149] Funny used it as an excuse for inclusivity, too.
[150] Right.
[151] I don't believe that basic instinct is a movie that people have not heard of, but I guess I'm wrong.
[152] Michael Douglas, Sharon Stone, and there's an interrogation scene.
[153] And she is wearing a very famous white one -piece dress.
[154] And my favorite part of that movie is that.
[155] scene where she says, where she's told there's no smoking in here, and she says, what are you going to do?
[156] Charge me with smoking?
[157] I've used that line before very often.
[158] All right, I'm going to do a top five for you, and I'm slightly concerned now that we've lost birthday, Lucy.
[159] Oh, you already lost me. Don't worry about it.
[160] You guys do your thing.
[161] I'll see you in five minutes.
[162] Come back.
[163] I want inclusivity.
[164] She wants to talk Paul Skeen's.
[165] Always have Livy Dunn's boyfriend.
[166] That's right.
[167] Do you play 99 pitches, 7 no hittings?
[168] I hope he starts the All -Star game.
[169] Billy, if you'll talk Skeens, I'll talk Skeins all day.
[170] He's going to start the All -Star game.
[171] I expect it to be announced shortly.
[172] I find that to be a mismatch.
[173] The whole Skeens -Livie match.
[174] Yeah, she's way out of his league.
[175] Top -5 sexiest skeins.
[176] It reminds me if she's out of my league.
[177] It's Alice Eve situation.
[178] I've seen that movie.
[179] Do you love that movie?
[180] Yeah, I like the Hall & Oates joke.
[181] It makes me laugh.
[182] I love that you like Hollin -Oads.
[183] That is a top -five.
[184] list another one.
[185] Sad breakups.
[186] The Hall and Oates breakup makes me sad.
[187] Yeah.
[188] They hate each other.
[189] My parents.
[190] I put them on that.
[191] Out of touch.
[192] All -time great song.
[193] I don't put my parents.
[194] I wonder whether my kids put me. My guess is they don't, but maybe.
[195] Number five, another movie I love called The Notebook.
[196] Nice.
[197] There is a love scene in the rain with Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams where she jumps into was arms and it's i've always wanted to recreate it but a i'm normally the one who jumps into someone else's arms and b i don't want to be outside when it rains i can't believe rachel mcadams is like 46 i saw it i saw the other day i was like rachel macdash i think she's 46 or 47 years old i couldn't believe that that sounds high bill you all it's double chucked she's 45 years old wow philly nailed it she did a great job on the movie uh on a tv show dave too she did a episode with Dave, that was fire.
[198] She's on a couple with Dave.
[199] She's his dream girl.
[200] Yep.
[201] And she, the little Dickie, I love Little Dickie and I love Dave.
[202] And I hope there's a new season.
[203] Right.
[204] And I hope Rachel McAdams isn't it, but she's the dream girl.
[205] Everybody's dream girl.
[206] Number four, out of sight.
[207] Oh, George Clooney.
[208] George Clooney, prior to penning any, any, any editorials.
[209] And Jennifer Lopez, prior to doing documentaries and getting 29 divorces, it's an outstanding movie, and the scene when they are in the trunk together, maybe one is the number four sexiest scene of any movie ever.
[210] If you haven't watched it, Soderberg, please watch out of sight.
[211] Definitely, both of them at their most charismatic, David.
[212] You're right, it's a great film.
[213] Ben Manquitt's my old buddy, who is one of the hosts of TCM.
[214] Turner Classic movies.
[215] This guy's seen more movies than anybody.
[216] He lists out of sight, which is one of his top 10 movies of all time, and that scene in particular is a great one.
[217] Awesome movie.
[218] Number three, it's part of a trilogy.
[219] It's a movie called Before Sunrise.
[220] Before Sunrise is with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, and there's a scene in that movie when they are laying down together as their night end that they've spent together.
[221] There's no sex involved.
[222] It is a very sexy scene, and it is one of the catalysts that gave me the reputation that I have as a handholder.
[223] I'm a handholder.
[224] I like those.
[225] Everyone knows that, David.
[226] I like those moments.
[227] I'm a hugger.
[228] I like the connectivity and the connection between Ethan Hawk and Julie Delpy in that scene in that movie, that to me was outstanding.
[229] David's love language, physical touch, now that we all know that, I'm with you, it's a great trilogy.
[230] Obviously, Linklitt are a wonderful director, hitman currently available on Netflix.
[231] Love Ethan Hawk.
[232] Of the three, I like the second one the best before it's sunset, but before sunrise is great too.
[233] David's other love languages, thong flip -flops.
[234] Back to you, Dave.
[235] I do.
[236] I have a very good thong tan.
[237] Number two Brokeback Mountain Nice The scene where they first kiss In the tent I am not I'm not gay I'm straight And I got to tell you I'm looking at that And I'm thinking I've never felt that Little boy on boy action And I've wanted first I love first kisses Who doesn't You want as many as you can That first kiss Never seen anything like it It's beautiful.
[238] It's definitely a great film.
[239] It should have won Best Picture over Crash that year, which I was really surprised by that pick.
[240] And that's another tough movie to watch because it's so heartbreaking and so sad.
[241] At that moment, obviously very passionate.
[242] Two great actors, the late Heath Ledger and, of course, Jake Jollah, thankfully, he's still with us.
[243] Yes, he is.
[244] He's in a new episode of Presumed Innocent dropped.
[245] I don't like watching shows that drop once a week.
[246] That's my new decision.
[247] Presumed Innocent excellent right now.
[248] It's outstanding.
[249] And it's back.
[250] I want to watch them all at once.
[251] Also salute to Max.
[252] We love you.
[253] Which Max?
[254] The one we're on right now.
[255] Salute it to you.
[256] Oh, yeah, the channel.
[257] I thought there's a person.
[258] It's another person in bed a lot.
[259] Say it by the day of the next.
[260] Max is a good dog name.
[261] It is.
[262] Classic dog name.
[263] I have an uncle Max.
[264] Really?
[265] His name is Richard, but he's called Max.
[266] Hmm.
[267] It's better than Dick.
[268] I don't know.
[269] Uncle Dick.
[270] Exactly.
[271] Well, I don't know how Richard became Dick, but we can talk about that later.
[272] I can't believe this is the first time Adnan that we've done this.
[273] The first time.
[274] time that we have a top five list and we have the same number one.
[275] That has to mean it's the number one sexiest scene of all time, the Sharon Stone interrogation for basic and sex.
[276] Brothers, salute, that's a very sexy scene.
[277] But I want to just for the younger guys around the world, put hair on my chest, wild things.
[278] That was a lot going on.
[279] Matt Campbell.
[280] Not Dylan.
[281] Not doing this.
[282] You feel me?
[283] Unfateful with Diane Lang too when she became unfaithful.
[284] I'm not saying.
[285] That is a great one.
[286] Spoiler alert.
[287] Also, Betty White and bringing down the house in that nightgown.
[288] Oh, no, geez, Betty White.
[289] Not great one.
[290] But it was so good till just now.
[291] Oh, no, you know, too, you might as well mention American Pie.
[292] Jason Biggs with a pie.
[293] Disgusting.
[294] Not the pie.
[295] A little earlier.
[296] Not the pie.
[297] I can't say I learned anything during that scene in American Pie, but I did see that it just celebrated its 25th or 45th or some long anniversary.
[298] which made me worried.
[299] 45th anniversary.
[300] How many?
[301] 25th.
[302] 199 it came out.
[303] Also, when I was a kid, Fast Times at Ridgemont High?
[304] Yes.
[305] Come on, guys.
[306] When I was a kid, though.
[307] I went and bought the Carr's album after Fast Times at Ridgemont High because moving in stereo is playing during that album, during that scene when Phoebe Kate, who's married to Kevin Klein now, I hope you've heard of any of these people.
[308] The scene where she opens the bikini is simply when you know.
[309] It's just people, say when you know you know about love about various things that's uh jennifer jason lee yes sir judge reinhold you dig me judge reinhold good reference currently on beverly hill scob axel f speaking nostalgia david a little surprise neither of us got nine and a half weeks in there mickie rourke so i like the ice scene i really do like the ice scene actually it just didn't make my top five what a thing when you're right wolf of wall street guys margot roby margot roby leonard caprio crawling It was like 18 when that came out.
[310] That's prime then.
[311] Yeah, it was, you know, influential.
[312] Did you want to be Jordan Belfort or Leonardo DiCaprio?
[313] Because that says a lot about a person.
[314] Yeah, didn't ever want to be Jordan Belfort based off, you know, the way I feel about economics.
[315] But outside of that, Leo DiCaprio, yeah, sure.
[316] In that moment, certainly.
[317] I don't know if he has a great life, Leonardo DiCaprio.
[318] I feel bad for him all the time.
[319] Isn't that strange?
[320] I do, too.
[321] I don't.
[322] you don't ever no he's no great life he's Billy he's dating women half his age you always gets to work with Scorsese the best directors the world Leo's got the life come on how could you feel sorry for him I feel like people are not necessarily as happy as you think they are because you see them on screen and with beautiful women there we are southeast sessions this week with the one and only coach of Miami Dolphins Mike my Daniel that's coming up today yes sirsky thank you for that Dan likes that I wonder whether Mike is going to do anything of Do you think Dan will put him on the couch?
[323] I think so.
[324] He's such a great personality.
[325] I can't wait to tune in.
[326] I actually want to watch that one because Dan may get Mike to do things that Mike doesn't want to do.
[327] I don't mean in that way.
[328] I'm saying in terms of the way Dan gets people's doing things.
[329] Off the heels of that list and you say that, I don't know what's going on anymore.
[330] There's a lot going on your mind.
[331] I don't know what's going on here.

[375] Don Lebatard.
[376] During one long evening at the Burtons, Robert sent their guest, Tennessee Williams, and director Joseph Losey running for the door.
[377] But in Burton's words, she insulted Rex.
[378] She said about Rex Harrison.
[379] Rex sexually, morally, physically.
[380] Lay on the floor in the bar and bark like a dog.
[381] started to masturbate her basset hound.
[382] Oh, Jesus Christ.
[383] What's happening?
[384] I don't know.
[385] This is the book, and I'm like, how do I, you know, because to Mike's point, he says to know I read the book, well, okay, listen, I hide it at this part, so you know what I read it, Spoo -Gats.
[386] Have you ever met Mike before today?
[387] No. No, first meeting.
[388] So your thing is in the first five minutes, let's talk about dog masturbation and giraffe.
[389] Because I knew he would be able to relate to the subject matter.
[390] He would know what it's like.
[391] Because he's a guest on the show and the guy's trying to impress him.
[392] Because, okay, what's going to go with?
[393] So I figured masturbating a bastard hound was definitely something he could at least appreciate.
[394] Weird assumption to make.
[395] Was he right or wrong?
[396] I'm going to say he was wrong.
[397] Oh.
[398] This is the Dan Levatar Show with the Stucats.
[399] Get to some things I want to talk about as it relates to doing good by a lot.
[400] people charity work etc something happened and came to my attention yesterday it was a it was a weird night for me it was one of my sleepless nights i was in the elster i got zero sleep zero minutes of sleep last night which happens way more often than i'd like to acknowledge uh this week had been decent i i got two to three each night last night was a zero well what do you do like do you have coffee do you have like sugar i've never had a cup in my life what really i've never had a cup of my life what of coffee in my life no caffeine how are you functioning how are you alive i yeah like how are you here today with us with no sleep ever and two hours is a good night because that's that's what is i get i watch a lot of movies and i do a lot of reading and i think about nothing personal or i think about this show i i'm always thinking about things that can be done i love going out onto the uh balcony here and seeing the quiet of the night i happen to love the quiet of the night.
[401] It's amazing that reading doesn't put you to sleep, though, considering the lack of sleep that you're getting.
[402] Because for me, if I'm, gosh, sometimes even when I don't realize I'm tired, if I start reading a book, I'll start nodding off, just because it's such a, it's the phone.
[403] See, that's the problem.
[404] You've got to get a book.
[405] A physical book with, with, you know, yellowish pages, like old pages, that you could just look at the text.
[406] It might help you unwind your mind a little bit and go to bed.
[407] I don't want to want, is the truth.
[408] You have no interest in getting sleep?
[409] I view sleep.
[410] I hate sleep.
[411] I hate my bed.
[412] I hate all beds.
[413] The ulcer bed is uncomfortable, but so is my own bed.
[414] But it's a great hotel.
[415] Yeah, I love it here.
[416] I absolutely love it here, but I don't enjoy anybody's bed.
[417] I've told you guys that I view my bed as like the devil opening its arms when I get into bed where some people view it as an angel that they're going into a heavenly, puffy place.
[418] I view it with smoke and fire and embers.
[419] Speaking of smoke, have you considered?
[420] considered the now legal in New York, Samara Joanna, to help you go to sleep.
[421] Duns sleep, gummies.
[422] No, not gummies.
[423] I'm talking about ganja.
[424] Oh, the actual flower?
[425] Snoop down style.
[426] No, and I wouldn't do that note?
[427] But wouldn't that set off a smoke alarm?
[428] No, but go to that, you can't smoke in your house anyway.
[429] Follow the rules.
[430] There's definitely no smoking in the house.
[431] So last night, what was particularly upsetting, and I'm not Dan, that's for sure.
[432] He's way more worried about stuff than I am, and maybe rightly so.
[433] But I'm very bothered about violence at sporting events.
[434] I was not, it struck me hard what happened, and I got some negative attention, and I want to see where you guys, where my blind spot is here, because my view is players cannot go into the stands.
[435] I don't care why, and the criticism that I've received is they're protecting their family.
[436] You can do anything you want to protect your family.
[437] Where did I go wrong on that?
[438] I mean, if I see my, if I'm a player and I see somebody up there even thinking about looking like they feel to touch my mom or dad or my little brother, bro, it's a problem.
[439] So I don't have the same opinion as you, bro.
[440] I'm jumping in the crowd.
[441] I don't give a damn if it's, I don't care who it is.
[442] You don't touch my mama.
[443] It's smoke regardless.
[444] And I'm coming up there.
[445] I don't think you should be allowed.
[446] There's security to do it.
[447] There are people who are supposed to be there to protect the families.
[448] But sometimes they're not doing their job.
[449] You're looking at your mom in trouble.
[450] That happens all the time in all sorts of different places.
[451] Like if my family's in trouble, I'm at least trying to step in where I can.
[452] And now I'm also a bit of a coward.
[453] And so I say that, right?
[454] Theoretically, I don't know if I would actually do it if I was in harm's way or what the situation is.
[455] It might depend.
[456] But I think in the scenario that we're throwing out there, Like if I'm an athlete and I can go protect my family in a situation, that's the first thing I'm doing, especially when we see all the examples of security guards like shying away from that confrontation.
[457] What if you were at a heat game in the spot?
[458] You sit where you got caught with the finger in the mouth and you just looked over and someone was tugging on your wife.
[459] Yeah, I'm running up there.
[460] Exactly.
[461] That's where I'm not.
[462] I'm angry immediately.
[463] No, I'm not because then how long is that going to take?
[464] You're right.
[465] I'm at least going up and trying to have a conversation.
[466] I might not try to have a physical confrontation.
[467] I would hope to avoid that, but I'm, it's a good example.
[468] I immediately, my blood's boiling even just thinking about it.
[469] We still have your top five things of people you'd confront if you were larger.
[470] We have to get too later in the show.
[471] I do have a top five of people I'd confront and the things they do if I were larger.
[472] And it would not be someone who's going after my family as an athlete because I want to believe that I can run a facility where I'm going to protect it.
[473] So last night I was thinking about this and thinking about am I wrong here.
[474] And then I get to the next video.
[475] every day there's something where in Brazil forget fighting this was an actual shooting which it happens more often than I'd like to acknowledge the police shot one of the players this is look if you're not on the you on YouTube insane this is an actual shot being fired it was a rubber bullet doesn't matter to me it pierced the skin and there was blood the goalie went down, stumbled down after this.
[476] And it got me thinking, and this was part of the problem last night, this is around a three to four a .m. situation when this is in my head.
[477] What would I be doing?
[478] I do that a lot.
[479] What would I be doing?
[480] This is my stadium.
[481] This is my team.
[482] This is my player.
[483] And the police here in the U .S., we pay the police to be at the games.
[484] That's part of the expense of the team is you pay police to be inside the ballpark and you pay the police who are outside the ballpark as well you certainly pay cc the ushers the security people and the fact that there is a shooting going on is a way to keep the peace because everyone is going so crazy about the game whatever the case may be it gave me pause to think that maybe our problems are way deeper than climate change.
[485] You can say that again, bro.
[486] For real.
[487] And that began to make me wonder whether Dan had it wrong.
[488] That it's not necessarily the hurricanes and the temperature of the ocean.
[489] It's the fact that violence for whatever reason has become somebody's love language.
[490] My love language is touching.
[491] That's my low language.
[492] I'm down flip flaps.
[493] Who's flip flaps?
[494] Whose love language is violence?
[495] Why is that a love language?
[496] I got some homeboys just like it, bro.
[497] Like, I got some homeboys and they're not here anymore.
[498] Some of them are still here.
[499] They just, they come up on their own, and so they defend.
[500] They got so much pride, and they can't even let nobody step on their shoe without showing you who they could be.
[501] And it's just a killer.
[502] You're right.
[503] I think we need a little more finesse.
[504] And sleep.
[505] So sleep doesn't put, no, I'm not violent because I don't sleep.
[506] If you were asleep, you would have been, yeah, feeling this way.
[507] You think that tiredness and violence are correlated?
[508] No, I think if you were asleep, you wouldn't have had any of these thoughts.
[509] If I get angry, I'm ready to shoot somebody.
[510] I don't think so.
[511] What?
[512] I mean, obviously, it's a joke.
[513] But, like, if you can get impatient.
[514] Like, I get incredibly impatient if I'm just, like, too hungry.
[515] So if I'm lacking, if I were sleeping the amount that you were, I would be a totally different person.
[516] I would be infuriated all the time.
[517] Have you not found the right bed or pillow?
[518] I've tried.
[519] I am the guy.
[520] Jeff Bezos, shout out to you, man. Thank you.
[521] Thank you for enabling a new pillow or a new I once bought.
[522] If you've seen this, it's this weighted, heavy blanket that's supposed to help you sleep.
[523] Have you ever seen one of those?
[524] Those are the best.
[525] Didn't help me. Really?
[526] Gave it away.
[527] Have you gone to a doctor?
[528] No. Okay, well, maybe start with that.
[529] Seems like a start.
[530] Hey.
[531] I'm not going to, what am I going to do with Pablo C -Pat machine?
[532] They don't have happened to you.
[533] Well, you've never been to a doctor.
[534] You don't know.
[535] Well, I go to doctors all the time.
[536] But for this specific.
[537] Wait, you didn't mean a doctor.
[538] Like, no, I mean going to like someone who specializes in like sleep.
[539] What are they going to do?
[540] They're going to run tests and because you probably have no idea what's wrong.
[541] And they're going to run tests and maybe they'll find something that can work for you.
[542] And then you'll sleep.
[543] And then you'll be like, oh my God, I'm the happiest person in the world.
[544] I want to spend money and help people.
[545] Maybe you'll start farting.
[546] things, and you'll fart, and you'll eat stuff that's other than candy.
[547] Your life could completely change.
[548] If you just went to a doctor, said, hey, I cannot sleep.
[549] It would be cool if you could help me and they probably will.
[550] And you're rich, so you can go to the good doctor.
[551] I have the same insurance you do.
[552] I don't want to concern you and I don't want to be too, like, more of it here.
[553] I am slightly concerned at the moment.
[554] Aren't you worried you're going to die?
[555] I think about that every day, but that is nothing in different.
[556] We're all going to die.
[557] Act accordingly.
[558] No, but this isn't like healthy for your body.
[559] Thank you.
[560] Sure Stevenson fights, too.
[561] Turn it on and try to lay down.
[562] I would simply ask you this.
[563] Do you find me, and I'm specifically speaking to you, Lucy, who's concerned about me, and I want to tell you, I appreciate your concern.
[564] Do you find me to be a down person, sort of tired and dragging and depressed and woe is me guy?
[565] No, more manic, and that's also not a good thing.
[566] But it doesn't manic mean up and down?
[567] Manic is like mania, and so bipolar is up and down.
[568] Manic is like a really up high state.
[569] And so you don't want to be just up all the time.
[570] And sleep can really help regulate that.
[571] Some people, I'm sure out there, can live life on two hours of sleep.
[572] That's a super rare thing.
[573] So maybe you go see a specialist so you can confirm, hey, you are just like an insane human specimen that doesn't need sleep.
[574] Or you go to the doctor and say, we can help you.
[575] We're going to help you get sleep.
[576] And then your life changes.
[577] And then maybe you don't feel so anxious all the time.
[578] Yep.
[579] I appreciate, I'm loving the love on your birthday.
[580] You're sending me to love.
[581] I don't find that my life is deleteriously impacted in any way by my habits.
[582] Well, you just talked about how you think about dying all the time, and I think that's probably related.
[583] Oh, I think that's just being Jewish.
[584] Yeah, that's fair.
[585] I don't think that is actually.
[586] We automatically have a little extra anxiety.
[587] Right.
[588] So I don't think there's a doctor for that.
[589] And if there is, I've been to her and him, and them.
[590] Try being black.
[591] But I think you are in the stage of, where a superhero right before he realizes he got powers.
[592] Like, you might need to go to the doctor because not sleeping, I don't know, bro.
[593] Maybe you got a super thing going on right now.
[594] Yeah, we could get a little serum from you so that we could all potentially have that extra power.
[595] I don't want to be in the position, though, where I would look at the video of the violence in the stands or someone being shot or the issues that I think about where sleep would make it so I don't have the capacity or the time to think about them.
[596] I don't think it'll take away the capacity to think about those things.
[597] I think it'll just help ease your mind a little bit because we should think about the things that are bad in the world, but we don't need to think about them all the time and they don't need to consume us all.
[598] Well, I'm not consumed by it.
[599] Well, you're staying up late at night and you're thinking about really sad things.
[600] But let me ask you, what's the difference between thinking about it at 3 p .m. or 3 a .m.?
[601] Is it not the same level of being consumed by it?
[602] Are you always thinking about it at 3 p .m.?
[603] No, no. Does this happen to you more often?
[604] If it's just an hour a day, what's the difference what hour?
[605] If you're sleeping, you're not thinking about it.
[606] Well, you schedule your sad hours for the middle of the night.
[607] No, I don't.
[608] It just so happens last night was that.
[609] If I hadn't seen that video, I will admit that there is something that's happened that has definitely hurt me, and that is social media.
[610] Put the phone down, David.
[611] I don't put the, I'm always looking for content.
[612] You want me to set a screen time parental control on your phone for you?
[613] Like, I'll be the only one that knows the password?
[614] I don't even look at that.
[615] I don't want to look.
[616] I don't want to know what my screen time is.
[617] No, no, no. I'm going to set it.
[618] I will give me your phone and I'll set like a maximum amount of time.
[619] Wait, will it turn the phone off?
[620] Yeah, yeah.
[621] No. Oh, yeah.
[622] And then the next day you can get it again when you're a good boy.
[623] Yeah, that's how it works.
[624] I am a good boy.
[625] I'm not out doing bad things in the middle of the night.
[626] Just for yourself.
[627] Maybe to myself.
[628] Yeah, exactly.
[629] That's it.
[630] Do you have like a mindfulness activity?
[631] Like something that you do that's not screen -related, not sad -related, something that your brain just kind of shuts off.
[632] Like when I paint, I don't have one thought in this brain for hours, and it's awesome.
[633] And then I'm done painting, and I'm like, oh, my God, it's been seven hours, and I haven't thought one time, and it kicks ass.
[634] I used to work at a bakery, and I used to ice the cookies.
[635] I only worked for a week.
[636] I got fired because I'm showing up late.
[637] No, no, no, but I would ice.
[638] I showed up late.
[639] Okay, so here's the thing.
[640] I showed up late.
[641] How many times?
[642] Okay, I only worked there a week, so a couple times.
[643] But here's the thing.
[644] They said, you need to be there at 7 a .m. That is the time that you're...
[645] I know, that's way too early.
[646] I said, I can do 7 a .m. So I show up at 7 a .m. And they say, when we say 7 a .m., we mean you need to be here at 6 .50.
[647] I said, then just say 650.
[648] Which they did, and you still relate the second time.
[649] Because I can't, I can't vibe with that.
[650] I think that's really...
[651] Why would you work for a bakery?
[652] You know you make the donuts in the middle of the night, and bakery's all store.
[653] started early in the morning.
[654] If you're not a morning person, that may be, again, a great top five.
[655] What job shouldn't you take if you're not a morning person?
[656] How about a live show at 9 a .m.?
[657] Trust me, I have asked Dan so many times, hey, can we push this back a couple hours?
[658] And he says, I don't have any power here.
[659] I said, your name is everywhere.
[660] I think you have a little bit of power here.
[661] When I was younger, I took a job at Old Navy, like a holiday person.
[662] And my first day, I was folded the whole thing of shirts.
[663] And then I was like, damn, I'm a great folder.
[664] And then this little kid came over and just picked up four shirts and just threw them back on the pot, I quit right in there, I just told him like, yeah, I can't do this.
[665] Walk straight out.
[666] I'm good.
[667] Yeah, no check of nothing.
[668] Don't even pay me. I'm good.
[669] What do you think about when you run?
[670] I think about my plan for the day.
[671] What I'm doing.
[672] I made a lot of Maritalin's decisions while running a lot.
[673] There's a level of clarity that can come with running.
[674] I understand that, but if that is not your moment to be mindful of just being able to sort of clear your mind, it would be great.
[675] As Lucy suggested, having some sort of something, whether it's meditation, whether it's reading a book.
[676] And I know meditation could be frustrating.
[677] I'm someone, my mind races.
[678] I can't touch my toes.
[679] But that's different.
[680] That's different than meditation.
[681] You're not going to the first day.
[682] You work up to that.
[683] Right.
[684] We see last it a week.
[685] That was at a bakery.
[686] Okay.
[687] And that was just working at a bakery and I didn't like the job and it wasn't the right fit for me. Okay.
[688] And it was during COVID.
[689] I couldn't find another job.
[690] I was just doing the best I can given the situation I was in.
[691] But I found another mindful activity that wasn't icing cookies.
[692] It was painting and doing my little crafts and they're awesome and they keep me sane and grounded.
[693] So I think maybe you should try to find out a little activity.
[694] Are they for sale?
[695] My crafts?
[696] Yes.
[697] Some of them.
[698] Do you have a website that I could talk about and bring people to?
[699] No. Are you interested in becoming some sort of artist?
[700] No. Speaking of artis, speaking of artis, speaking of artis, Angel Reese is an artist.
[701] She continued She stretched the streak again last night against the New York Liberty.
[702] Who got in their behind, you feel me?
[703] They defended their home court.
[704] Last time they played, it was a bit of a spanking on the Chicago side.
[705] So they came out and played very well.
[706] But Andrew Reese, she extended her double -double street to 15 games now in which she has already set the record.
[707] So she's just building on top of it on top at this point.
[708] It seems to me that she will never not get a double -double again.
[709] She's at 15, I think.
[710] Last night was close, though.
[711] Last night was a bit of a struggle.
[712] to get it like she got it in the fourth quarter in crunch time type of you know she didn't go off the backboard did she nah nah how would you feel if her double double streak gets extended i'm asking the group here because i have a thought on this when if you miss a shot off the backboard on purpose to get your rebound to get the 10th rebound to keep the double double streak alive where's your head on that head he moved head he'd play wasn't it like two games ago also that she had it was like free throws like six seconds left in the game or something right and her mama was stressed out i was stress right with her now is it like the Jose Reyes laying down a bunt to win the batting title i have no problem with that right i have no problem with that at all i feel similarly problem with people going for the triple double who set it up if you want to throw it off the backboard i'm in i feel the same way i have a question for you you were uh in the marlins organization at this time how did you feel when louis castillo's hit streak ended with him on deck despondent the story is tim rain said a sacrifice fly down the game.
[713] That's controllable.
[714] Like, you can control that.
[715] You can't fire the third base coach.
[716] No, we didn't fire anyone because that, back in that day, we were in touch with the dugout.
[717] And we told it was Torborg was the manager.
[718] And we said win the game.
[719] And so they got word to Raines because Raines wanted to know what the play was.
[720] Do we get Luis Castillo another bat?
[721] He had, I want to say, a 35 game hit streak.
[722] don't remember the exact number.
[723] I think the best of this century, isn't it?
[724] No, I think Chase Utley beat it a couple years later.
[725] I think there's been a 44.
[726] And then there's like a weird Jimmy Rollins one season to the next.
[727] It doesn't count.
[728] That doesn't count.
[729] We had a giveaways.
[730] We had all stuff.
[731] We thought Castillo was the type of player who could maybe approach 56.
[732] And we were a team in 02.
[733] It was my first year in Miami.
[734] We were not going anywhere, speaking of Paul Skeens.
[735] And Louis Castillo, he was becoming, he was the one giving us attention.
[736] And he was on deck.
[737] He was hitless.
[738] And we had the winning run on third.
[739] third with one out, Tim Raines at the plate, and as he's walking, we got word to the dugout, who got word to Raines, and, you know, very complicated signs back then, like hitting the garbage can.
[740] It was this.
[741] It was this, if you're not watching it, swing away, meaning win the game.
[742] Jimmy Rollins has the longest hit streak this century at 38 games.
[743] That's the one that lasted over two seasons.
[744] It looks like Luis Castillo and Chase Utley tied at 35 games.
[745] Didn't Ugla have a long hit streak in Atlanta?
[746] Atlanta?
[747] I'll look that up.
[748] Yeah, he did.
[749] 33 games in 2011 in Atlanta.
[750] Which is unreal that Ugla did that.
[751] That doesn't make any sense considering the type of player he was.
[752] But Billy, did I, another thing that I did wrong to ruin your fandom, having us win the game that no one cares.
[753] No, I didn't blame me for that.
[754] When he could have.
[755] Tim Raines was fun to have.
[756] Tim Rain is obviously a great man and a great player.
[757] But what if Castillo could have caught DiMaggio?
[758] That's what I kept thinking, because if you can catch DiMaggio, you're, you're.
[759] you're it.
[760] Luis Castillo would be in the Hall of Fame.
[761] Really?
[762] If you can get a 57 game rate streak.
[763] You don't say that.
[764] Tony has a good hypothetical for you.
[765] So, Dave, if you play five seasons in a row, okay, and get a hit in every single game, only a single in every single game, you don't have any home runs.
[766] 810 game hit streak?
[767] Yeah.
[768] Are you a Hall of Famer?
[769] You are in the Hall of Fame, but you're not a Hall of Famer.
[770] That's right.
[771] You're not in the plaque room, but you get yourself an exhibit.
[772] If you have an 810 game hit streak, if Luis Castillo, now I love where your head's at, Luis Castillo is a better player than a one hit every game.
[773] He had a very, people may not remember this.
[774] I don't know why.
[775] Gold Glove infielder, fantastic, a World Series champion.
[776] He had longevity as a bunch of Marlins records, or at least, did when I left in 17, I believe that with the 57 -game hit streak, he would have been a stronger consideration for Cooper's town.
[777] What about 810 game hit streak?
[778] I mean, that's damn good.
[779] But you're hitting 250.
[780] You're hitting 250.
[781] One for four.
[782] Right now is outstanding.
[783] Yeah, but your OPS is nothing because you've never hit a home run.
[784] You've never had an extra base hit.
[785] Oh, it's a single.
[786] It's a single.
[787] 810 straight singles.
[788] I bet each row could have done that if we asked each row to do that and said, would you mind just getting one single?
[789] Why didn't you?
[790] game because you have the option to have an 80010 game history why would you take it because then you're why didn't you ask each row to get his 3 ,000 hit at home if we were in so much control over each year oh that conversation also i know i'll never forgive you so or don mattingly the conversation was do you not play them do you wait because we were heading home it was a sunday in colorado in august i believe it was august 16th and i believe we were coming home for the next series I may be wrong.
[791] No, you're right.
[792] I'll look at home the next day.
[793] You got an unnecessary start that day.
[794] So we had the amount of respect we had for each row.
[795] I don't know that I've respected a player more than I respected each row for any of the players who I had in my career.
[796] And he wanted to get it done.
[797] And he had an eye.
[798] Here's a little nugget about each row.
[799] He had an eye toward a triple for his 3 ,000th hit.
[800] and he got it.
[801] Barely.
[802] It's right over the glove of the...
[803] He almost screwed it up by hitting a home run.
[804] Well, it was also almost caught, which is...
[805] No, I was hoping that it would get caught.
[806] It was like right over the outfielders' gloves.
[807] I was like, God, catch the please catch that.
[808] Oh, I thought it's a wall.
[809] It did, but he was jumping up to catch it.
[810] Oh, got it, got it, got it.
[811] Please catch that ball and he didn't know.
[812] He had a six -game homestand right after that against San Francisco and the Chicago White Sides.
[813] And I think if you look, that was his only hit of that game.
[814] Yeah, well, he had gone a bunch of games.
[815] Oh, I know.
[816] I went to a bunch of games watching, waiting for it to happen.
[817] He'd come in and he pinch it, and then he'd, like, ground out.
[818] He went one for four that night.
[819] Yep.
[820] And so, remember, he started in his 3 ,000 game, and he was generally a bat off the bench for us.
[821] And that was another discussion we had is whether or not you change what a player is, according to a record that they're going for.
[822] Like, all of a sudden, would Reese play more minutes.
[823] If there's a blowout in a game where she would then get rest and she doesn't have the double -double, am I putting her back out there just to get the double double and my answer to that would be no. Right.
[824] Speaking of records though, Caitlin Clark, triple double and the other day against the mystics, holy, moly, she stuffed a stat sheet.
[825] Lucy, did you check that out?
[826] Of course I did.
[827] Let me read you the stats from this because Caitlin had like her first real Iowa game in the WNBA.
[828] So here are their stats from it was a loss to the mystics.
[829] Caitlin had 29 points, 15 points in the fourth quarter, 13 assists, five rebounds, five steals, five threes, three blocks.
[830] She was shooting 50 % from the field, 56 % from three, and then 90 % from her free throw line.
[831] You want that every day, don't you?
[832] Oh, yeah.
[833] I mean, it's awesome.
[834] Yeah, and, like, you see her get so much better, but that was her first real game where, like, she put up numbers like that at Iowa all the time.
[835] It was, I believe it broke records, the sense that I don't think any player has ever had that stat lines in WNBA history or I believe the history of the NBA either.
[836] Right.
[837] And they went and they was down big in that game and made a great comeback behind Caitlin in that fourth quarter.
[838] And then Christy was like, well, since you led us back here and you did all this work, I'm not going to trust you at the end of the game.
[839] Just remember that Jordan had a lot of problems when he was first in the league.
[840] The Bulls were not successful.
[841] They were a bad team.
[842] Doug Collins was the coach the Brad Sellers years, and he won a lot of championships.
[843] Caitlin Clark, at the end of the day, I don't know what the over -under is.
[844] If there's even a market for that, we can check draft kings.
[845] I'm going to put the over -under for titles for Caitlin Clark in her career at five.
[846] Yeah, she'll win a lot.
[847] My thing is a lot of people are like, well, you know, she's going to struggle to start it off with, and she did, but she's playing really well.
[848] And she has for the last, you know, two months.
[849] The first few weeks of the season were kind of rough.
[850] She's played amazing.
[851] She hasn't rested.
[852] Talk about rest.
[853] She finally started to get breaks after the 20 days, 11 game streak, which was absolutely insane for the fever to start off the season that way.
[854] But she's played a lot better.
[855] And, like, yeah, she's turning the ball over a lot and she needs to work on that.
[856] But also, she's being used, like, in the fever offense more than any player is being used to cross the WBA.
[857] Oh, college.
[858] She went from.
[859] No, no, no. She never did anything wrong in college.
[860] No, what I'm saying is she went from college.
[861] And then I believe right to training camp.
[862] No, she did.
[863] There was no break.
[864] especially because Iowa made it all the way to the national championship game Iowa unfortunately lost the national championship game it's my birthday though so we're not going to talk about that and then one week later she was drafted like there was no in -between time and then they had their first like I think it was just an exhibition game I think 10 days after that like there has not been a moment for Caitlin to breathe and that's why it's probably a really good thing for her that she didn't make the Olympic team and you've seen with rest just after that huge stretch the fever had to start the season.
[865] How much better Caitlin has been?
[866] She needs sleep.
[867] Like you.
[868] Lots of people need sleep.
[869] Yeah.
[870] I was thinking about the MLB draft is coming up this week and no one cares.
[871] We're not talking about it.
[872] It's making me angry.
[873] I have a question for you though, Dave.
[874] Yes, sir.
[875] What baseball record, speaking of records, what baseball record is going to be the most difficult one to have beaten?
[876] Hits, home runs or hits in a season?
[877] You're only giving me those two choices?
[878] Those three.
[879] So home runs, hits all time.
[880] You mean career home runs or Mark McGuire?
[881] Career home runs, career hits, or hitting streak?
[882] Can I say that it's Henry Aaron who has the number or is it bonds?
[883] What number are you asking?
[884] Whatever number you go by?
[885] Can I tell you I didn't like last year when they were doing that with Aaron Judge saying like, well, the real home run record?
[886] And I know that Stanton hinted at that when he was getting close and he couldn't get to it.
[887] And it's like, guys.
[888] Stop erasing my childhood.
[889] No, it's not that.
[890] It's just an opportunistic.
[891] I want to be the home run champion, and I'm not going to get to that.
[892] It's a thing in the union.
[893] It's a thing in the commissioner's office.
[894] It's a thing.
[895] So I thought you're asking me the two records that will never be broken, and that is the career wins and the Cal Ripkin Iron Man streak.
[896] So you think somebody will beat Pete Rose for the hit king?
[897] All time?
[898] It is possible that there will be another player.
[899] We just were looking at each row.
[900] He had 10 or 9.
[901] I think he has 9, 200 hit seasons, and 200 hit seasons used to be.
[902] what the goal was and barely anyone gets there anymore because everyone would rather strike out or hit a home run.
[903] So I would say that the career hits is the one that is very unlikely to ever be broken versus, although each row's got the single season record at 262 maybe.
[904] But given the present state of baseball gameplay and the style, 56 games in a row with a hit feels impossible.
[905] Because Guys have never even come within 10 of that at any point in Major League Baseball history.
[906] And right now there's so much strikeout home run walk that even the best of players, even like if you look at a guy who is at the top of the league in batting average every single year in Louisa Rias, there are plenty of ofer nights in there because he'll work a walk and there's a different type of approach.
[907] So to me, I mean, like I even feel like it might be more possible to break the Iron Man streak than it would be.
[908] No one plays that much anymore.
[909] But if someone did, like, Mikhail Bridges, right, plays every game in the NBA.
[910] Well, that doesn't happen in the NBA anymore.
[911] He's done it, I think, for six years in a row now, where he's played every single game.
[912] He played all the way back through college and through high school.
[913] And so playing that many games in a row is very rare in basketball.
[914] You could have an outlier of a player who's just capable of playing every day.
[915] Sometimes it says the DH.
[916] But I don't see a world where, at least in the modern version of baseball, anyone even comes close to a 56 game hit streak.
[917] That feels impossible.
[918] P. Rills played like 30 years in the MLB.
[919] Yeah, that part.
[920] That's the other thing.
[921] He started playing in 1963 and ended in 1986.
[922] So you tally all those hits.
[923] And the way that baseball is being played now where it's all launch angles and trying to hit home runs and all that stuff, nobody's hitting for average.
[924] Nobody's hitting to get hits.
[925] 4 ,256.
[926] Is anybody close?
[927] Each row.
[928] Eat it, though.
[929] Active.
[930] No, active.
[931] I assume.
[932] the next 3 ,000 hit guy, I love these stats where they talk about which players can now win 300 games.
[933] It used to be that's how you got to Cooperstown.
[934] And what I hate is that it hates a strong word.
[935] We've changed the rules.
[936] We've made it okay.
[937] We've accepted mediocrity.
[938] We've accepted the change that allows players to be worse than they were because the analytics values things differently.
[939] More skilled, worse players.
[940] That's the part that's frustrating.
[941] They're all more skilled than they've ever been.
[942] No, because even these guys with that level of velocity, their ability to locate pitches, their ability to move the ball, it's amazing.
[943] These hiters being able to hit off of every single guy throwing 100 miles an hour.
[944] It used to be that there was only Matt Lindstrom coming in late in the game throwing 100 miles an hour.
[945] Now Paul Skeens is doing it for 40 pitches a game.
[946] And yet, you're now dealing with a situation where these guys are so skilled, but they're so specialized that it makes it that their well -rounded game isn't quite there and they're not quite the same players that we got to celebrate in years past.
[947] Joe Biden last night talked about how he's got to get the middle class back.
[948] And in baseball, there is no middle class.
[949] You've got the lower class and the upper class.
[950] And the way the upper class works in baseball is they buy $300 ,000 machines.
[951] They lease them per year.
[952] Have you heard of these pitching machines that have a picture of the actual pitcher?
[953] And they're throwing the exact pitches that the actual pitcher will actually throw to you?
[954] I did not know that It is the crazy It used to be a batting practice A machine A BP machine Was a thump You drop a ball in And it goes through two spinning wheels And it goes And that's it Then Sets is flat Just then if you move it You can get a slider When you spin it a little bit Screw that Now for 300 grand a year You can rent a machine That has a video LCD board of the pitcher and his exact arsenal and it's his face pitching at you and then the hitters are in BP doing it and then by the way they're still hitting 220 and I'm getting criticized as a low revenue team for not spending that money on this stuff which isn't helping the Dodgers the Dodgers have them everywhere that you can't basically do a 360 without seeing one of these machines and how come no one can hit it's because the velocity is at a level that is so crazy.
[955] No, but it's not about that.
[956] When you actually are facing a pitcher where there's an ability that the ball might not go exactly where you expect it, because when you're facing one of those machines, you know where the ball's going.
[957] Even if it's going to be a slider, even if it's going to be something else, you know what's going over the plate.
[958] When you're dealing with John Carlos Stanton, who's a guy who's taking a hundred mile an hour fastball to the face, there's an ability that that ball could go anywhere.
[959] Hitting a baseball is the most difficult thing to do in sports and it's only gotten more and more difficult because we're hunting velocity and all these things that baseball has done to capitalize in the margins and be able to put these teams together where you're platooning guys and taking advantage within analytics.
[960] It's similar to the way that some people don't enjoy watching the way basketball is played currently in the five out.
[961] Chuck and duck.
[962] Yeah, it's just shooting threes and as many as you can per game to capitalize on, oh, let's take advantage of this week's spot.
[963] That's what baseball's done in every aspect of the game.
[964] What do you do for a week's job at a bakery?
[965] Like, were you glazing, like, donuts?
[966] Did you learn to make anything?
[967] I didn't make anything.
[968] I showed up late, so I missed a lot of time, apparently.
[969] I did, like, coffee drinks and then just really, like, they did, like, cookie sandwiches.
[970] So I would put the icing in the middle of the cookies.
[971] But did you make the icing?
[972] No. I didn't make anything.
[973] come out of a, it didn't come out of a container that you bought, did it?
[974] No. So the owner of the bakery got there at like three in the morning, and she would do all that stuff, and then we would show up, and then we would, like, it was just like customer service.
[975] How many people worked there?
[976] I don't know, three or four.
[977] I didn't work there that long, so I really don't know.
[978] Is that the smallest time, the shortest time you've ever had a job?
[979] I was a nanny for a week before I got fired.
[980] And then they realized you can't take care of kids?
[981] No, I am super great with kids.
[982] Those kids were terrible.
[983] How do you know how Willow's going to be?
[984] She's been great.
[985] I've watched Willow before.
[986] And I babysit a lot.
[987] I'm very good with kids.
[988] These kids were just exceptionally bad kids.
[989] Like, did they, were they not toilet trance?
[990] No, I mean, they were old.
[991] So, like, here's an example.
[992] So their mom was like, hey, girl, you just let them do their thing, live their life.
[993] Only thing is, is no, like, art -rated movies, you know, stuff that you would normally not let a kid do.
[994] So these kids were sitting there and they're like, we want to watch National Lampoon's Vacation.
[995] I said, well, that's an R -rated movie.
[996] Great movie.
[997] There's like a lot of like tit scenes in that movie.
[998] And I said, well, you're five.
[999] So let's not do that.
[1000] Show them the one with commercials.
[1001] It was on DVD.
[1002] So they gave us the DVD.
[1003] And I said, hey, sorry, your mom said you can't watch these movies.
[1004] I said, okay, well, she said, you can't do it.
[1005] Sorry.
[1006] And they start flipping out.
[1007] And I said, that's fine, whatever.
[1008] We're just going to put on something else.
[1009] Let's watch trolls.
[1010] So he put on trolls.
[1011] One of the kids goes to the bathroom, comes back, has her cell phone, and goes, it's our mom for you.
[1012] And she hands me the phone.
[1013] And I'm like, hey, Megan, what's up?
[1014] And she's like, yeah, you can just let the kids watch the movie.
[1015] And they went over your head.
[1016] They did that to me so many times.
[1017] Now, here's the final straw, okay?
[1018] So it was day four, and I said, this isn't going to last.
[1019] I know this isn't going to, it's not going to go well.
[1020] So I brought my sister with me. Well, how long were you nannying for?
[1021] This is going to be a full -time thing.
[1022] It was supposed to be a full summer.
[1023] This was supposed to be a full summer.
[1024] I thought it was like for the parents on vacation.
[1025] Yeah, no, no, no, no. So she was, like, going to work, and I was watching her kids.
[1026] So it was day four, and I knew I was going to get fired because these kids were so bad.
[1027] So I brought my little sister with me, and Kate was like, Lucy, you're being so overdramatic.
[1028] Like, these kids are fine.
[1029] I said, I don't think so.
[1030] So I brought Kate with me, and the way I paid Kate to come with me is I took her to get breakfast that morning.
[1031] So we got coffee and breakfast sandwiches, whatever.
[1032] So we're sitting there, and the kids are being a menace.
[1033] And then this little girl, she's like, Lucy, can I have your coffee?
[1034] and it was like a really sugary coffee drink so I said no Ava you can't have it so I go to the bathroom I come back and she sits there she holds up the coffee and says you won't let me have it and dumps it on the floor in front of me oh no she was a devil child they were bad kids they were not good kids and then they were like hey you don't have to come in tomorrow and then Megan was like sorry we're not going to need anyone to watch the kids and they didn't hire anybody else because no one would sit and watch those kids wait so what they put out with the kids every TV in that damn house so Megan's had to like I don't know if she, like, quit her job, but she started, like, working from home.
[1035] The one moment from that, like, whole experience that really sticks with me is they were like, hey, we want to do, like, put on a musical performance for you.
[1036] And I said, that is perfect.
[1037] That's totally fine.
[1038] And, like, kids do that all the time.
[1039] So they come out and they chose the song, damn it feels good to be a gangster.
[1040] And then, like, the brother, like, pretended to beat the shit out of his sister.
[1041] Oh, my God.
[1042] Like, you had a baseball, all that.
[1043] And I was just like, I love these kids.
[1044] Did you stop it?
[1045] No, it was their performance.
[1046] It was the only time that whole week they listened to me. And so, and then they just, like, got back up and I was like, okay.
[1047] That was great.
[1048] I wouldn't have fired you.
[1049] They are, they are, they are, they're, one of them's old enough to be in college.
[1050] And then they, I don't know if they're doing well or not.
[1051] There's a movie called My Babysitter, you may want to check that out.
[1052] There's a movie called Don't Tell Mine the Babysid is dead That you need to step up protect yourself like nah these little kids is off the breath You're crazy I would unplug every damn TV in the house Unplug, give me your phone chargers and then give me all your phones You go to your room you go to your room and I will come tell y 'all when y 'all can use the bathroom Uncle Jew makes it happen Road rage What's that?
[1053] That's one of the ones Road rage is something that I'm just not big enough to do Hmm Sean.
[1054] Hold on, wait.
[1055] You just said you used to take trash and put it in folks' face when they drop it on.
[1056] We're talking current day.
[1057] Oh, current day.
[1058] Current day.
[1059] Yes, sir.
[1060] Don't do the road rage anymore because I used to be a honker.
[1061] I cannot stand when you're slow in the left lane.
[1062] I don't understand that I'm the flasher with like.
[1063] You could still be a honker though.
[1064] You could still be a honker.
[1065] It's not nice to honk, but I can't stand people who are not paying attention.
[1066] And the corollary to that, it's the online for food at a game.
[1067] You get to the front of the line, and then you start looking at the menu.
[1068] If I were bigger.
[1069] That drives me crazy.
[1070] I can't be the only one on that.
[1071] I don't understand.
[1072] I don't get that in drive -thrues.
[1073] Like, you've been to McDonald's a thousand times.
[1074] Like, you know what you want.
[1075] There's special times, though, because Chick -fil -A, their employees, they come get you way before the sign.
[1076] So it's been like a year and a half.
[1077] since I've seen a Chick -fil -A menu.
[1078] So I'm just spicy chicken sandwiches.
[1079] I would like to see it one more time.
[1080] That's fair, actually.
[1081] Refresh myself.
[1082] I get peer -pressured into just ordering anything at that point.
[1083] Because, like, they have, like, a little iPad and they're like, I don't know when you're on chicken.
[1084] And I'll just get chicken.
[1085] You have to be ready.
[1086] Yeah, but I don't, if it's a restaurant like he's saying that I don't go to, I don't see a menu.
[1087] Go online before you go.
[1088] Every menu is available online.
[1089] You should be prepared.
[1090] You can order ahead, which is what I do a lot of the time.
[1091] Just order ahead on my app.
[1092] You can do that too.
[1093] Two seconds about.
[1094] Coins.
[1095] Do not waste my time going in your wallet trying to get exact change when I'm waiting to check out.
[1096] Do not do it.
[1097] I want all coins to be eliminated.
[1098] I want every price to be either rounded up or down.
[1099] Really?
[1100] I don't want something that's 969.
[1101] And then someone's pulling out.
[1102] And then, and then don't even get me started on the people working or the people giving the coins trying to count the change, which, by the way, takes forever.
[1103] And they get it wrong.
[1104] And then there's a recount.
[1105] which Florida is very familiar with that's one of them categories where sleep could help with that I'm not a coin fan I think it's reasonable and I've I've spoken to people and I've asked them why the treasury continues to have coins I'm shocked because you look like someone that collects coins yeah like you have collectable coins hmm you're not a collector you're not a collector you're like a thousand memorabilia on your down banister that I have I have memorabilia but I'm not a collector I have stuff that means something to me that I love looking at.
[1106] You have something that means a lot to you that you're doing to help others, don't you?
[1107] I do.
[1108] Thank you very much.
[1109] I'm going to be very quick about this because I'm doing something for charity, and I'd like people to bid for it.
[1110] There's something called the Bridge Hampton Child Care Center.
[1111] People think the Hamptons is only for rich people.
[1112] It's not.
[1113] Most of the people are underprivileged, underserved, and this is a center that helps those kids with after -school activities and programs, and I'm auctioning off a lunch with me. I'll pay.
[1114] drinks included, and you can pitch me a business that I'll look at and see if we can find some investors, whatever you can do.
[1115] Go on charity buzz, and you can have lunch with me. I'm going right now.
[1116] Bidding ends on July 17th, and we will have lunch.
[1117] It can be in New York.
[1118] It can be Miami.
[1119] It can be anywhere.
[1120] There's a QR code on your screen if you're watching on YouTube or on Draft Kings.
[1121] Please, please be charitable however it is that you do it.
