2025.10.20: Da Loove

Charles, the bit outside.

Hey!

We're recording the podcast!

What that's from?

Gun up!

Good!

Morning!

Where you are, because it is MORINIC SUPWAR!

For October 20th, 2025,

my name is

Bernie Burns, sitting right over there, turning in the best performance in MLB history.

It's Ashley Burns.

That looks, You know,

there's no IN team.

You got there.

You want to do good.

And you just hope you did good.

And I think we did good.

That was all said to a translator, by the way.

Not her first language.

I've been waiting days now to talk about this because I woke up at like...

what, 4.30, 5 in the morning, and you're next to me in bed.

You've got your phone and you're just like honed in watching baseball.

My first love.

Show Halo Tanny.

And you're like, sorry, baby, is this bothering you?

I was like, no, I'm fine.

I fell back asleep.

But

you were so locked in on this thing.

You gave up all your sleep for it.

So I wanted to tune in and watch it.

It was a game that started like midnight or 1 a.m.

for us.

So I woke up and started to watch it.

And I wanted to because you always want that moment when the Dodgers were up three games to none against the Milwaukee Brewers.

And it was like,

it didn't look like it was going Milwaukee's way the whole series.

And so I wanted to be there when they got the win and they were going to the World Series.

And that's always such an awesome moment.

And then, lo and behold, I saw what is now being called

the greatest individual performance in Major League Baseball history, which is an insane thing to hear in 2025 because it's just like the fact that a baseball player can be so dominant.

Shohei Otani,

he had one of the weirdest stats I've ever seen in my life.

He had three home runs and 10 strikeouts because he pitches as well.

So he was the pitcher, starting pitcher.

He pitched through six innings, shut out the Milwaukee Brewers through six innings, and then hit three home runs.

Every time he stepped up the plate, he cranked a home run.

One of them like flew out of the park.

It was insane.

I feel like he's the real life version of that

NFL

game commercial that you made way back in the day.

No, with Dallas Clark.

Yeah,

the silly version you made where Dallas Clark is throwing the ball to Dallas Clark.

I know it is obviously very silly, also the end of your commercial career, if I remember that correctly.

But

it seems like the real life version of that, basically.

To put it in perspective, the score was five to one at the end of the game.

Dodgers won an advanced to the World Series.

The

Dodgers were, there's nine innings in the game.

He was scoreless, scoreless, pitch scoreless through six.

Shut out the Brewers through six.

Basically, he was two-thirds of the offense and the defense on both teams.

And there's 18 players out there

playing on the field.

And it's just incredible.

It was such an incredible performance to watch.

Everyone is saying it's the most

impressive.

Major League Baseball, the website is saying it is the best postseason performance by player ever of all time.

That's crazy.

So let me ask you a question.

It's crazy in 2025 to see that.

So I know that the Shohei Otani's been a heavy hitter, pun intended,

that you've been like keeping an eye on for a while.

And he had a really good game.

It was just over a year ago, wasn't it?

Oh, he has good games all the time.

Oh, he has good games all the time.

But I mean, like...

you know, record-making kinds of games.

I'm doing a quick search here.

Okay, September 19th, 2024, he went six for six with three home runs, two doubles, and 10 RBIs at the 50-50 club.

What?

It's just insane.

It's insane.

Yeah, I think that's when a lot of people probably heard about him for the first time when he was entering the 50-50 club, which was 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases.

Right.

Okay.

So what you're saying is that he's pretty good.

What I'm saying is I've been really fortunate in sports.

I understand the probability of how unlikely it is to be following teams when something something like this happens.

Like you look at a renowned player in Major League Baseball, greatest of all time, Babe Ruth, a lot of people would say.

He played 100 years ago, literally 100 years ago, we were in the middle of Baba Ruth's career.

And here we are 100 years later.

100 years, we have a player that is setting records and kind of taking away from the legacy of Baby Ruth.

Or should I say even like catching up to it?

Look, sometimes when you see a real performer, you just need to stand up and take note.

For example.

But the sports are so different now.

You know, I mean, it was like people were learning how to do it.

The bats were like made out of like tree branches and shit back then.

Well, there's a new performer that I think we need to be paying attention to.

And this is,

I believe, a football fan at Texas AM, the university,

who was arrested by police for public intoxication with a blood alcohol level of 0.337.

Incredible.

So, apparently, the Texas AM

campus police have a Twitter account where they put a blog like the police blog up on it and they just have a log of all their arrests.

I never understood why cops did that.

I know it's public information.

Did it even happen?

Right.

Did it even happen?

That guy won't remember it unless you read about it.

That's insane.

That's insane.

I read up on what it would take to get that.

blood alcohol level.

It would take the average person about 23 drinks in a short time, is what they said.

Right.

You have to to be basically like mainlining what, like straight whiskey.

This was, and I didn't, I wanted to be clear.

I did not go to Twitter and stumble across this.

I was in the college football forums and somebody posted this, so I went and watched it.

It was a couple days old by the time I got to it.

So I normally would not go to Twitter, but I went to Twitter to see this.

And the first post, like one of the first posts replies to it, was just some guy saying.

to the cops.

He said, so what?

We're not allowed to have hobbies anymore.

I saw that someone basically requested clarification.

They were like, is that blood alcohol level a typo?

Or was that like, is that legitimate?

And they said, no, no, no, it's legitimate.

He was released to the EMS.

Yeah, yeah, that's why EMS was called in the first place.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So Aggies, by the way, are 7-0, you know?

And the way I feel about college.

Did you show Harry Tony playing for them?

No, no, no.

Although there was some weird stat where like every quarterback that was currently active who had played for A ⁇ M or was currently playing for AM had a win this last weekend.

I'm like, shut the fuck up.

But what was their blood alcohol level?

This

person, whoever they are, this nameless individual is easily the Aggies MVP right now.

Texas is having the longest.

I don't follow the Aggies, but I'm impressed.

Are having one of those super shitty, very Texas seasons.

We were ranked number one at the start of the season.

We barely like beat Kentucky.

All my friends are even like, how can you even call this a win?

Kentucky's is a basketball school and we barely got out of that game with a victory but didn't didn't uh Texas didn't UT end up back in the top 25 because they beat OU they had made they won one game somehow got them back in the top 25 how does that work oh you was o you was doing really well up until that point but uh a m is seven and oh I'm not sure.

Are we going to play A ⁇ M this year?

I hope we are because we're having one of those years where we're just completely mediocre and shitty, and yet we're going to ruin the seasons for OU and A ⁇ M.

Just to those two.

I will be completely satisfied with that.

You'll be happy to know that according to ESPN, Texas A ⁇ M versus Texas, I assume UT is just listed as Texas.

That's right.

University of Texas.

Are playing November 28th.

November 28th.

And I, you know, I played the Aggies.

for a long time, and we have those rivalries that last for a very long time.

They used to play every year, and then A ⁇ M went off to the SEC.

And now, you know, it's a school that you play all the time, have a huge rivalry with, and they're 7-0.

And so you just want to say, going in a game that's that important,

they're fucking cheating.

They must be.

They should be investigated and the school should be shut down.

Like those guys.

Yeah, so I was thinking about, though, Shohei, how lucky it is to watch a performance like that.

Because I also got to watch Vince Young, which was like one of the craziest national championship performances by an individual ever.

All my teams suck, but occasionally I got a good player on those teams and they do really, really well.

It is really crazy while I've been a spectator of sports to have watched both of those performances live and I was rooting for those teams.

I just like, that's insane.

I have to recognize how insanely lucky that is.

Right.

Like, you know, you, you take your wins, you enjoy your wins.

You take your wins, you enjoy your wins, but that's crazy, dude.

It was really crazy to watch.

You are very, I'll look, I tell you what, I'll pay attention to like the guys that you're paying attention to, and I'll just go, yeah, guys.

I'm sure they're doing great.

Yeah, you'll be like, oh, Bertie H.

Kiss, kiss, kiss.

Speaking of people like doing great,

I woke up yesterday morning to the news that the Louvre has been closed and evacuated because there was a jewel heist.

Like a real

heist at the Louvre?

Yeah.

So this is not like a movie announcement.

This is like there was an actual jewel heist at the Louvre.

So some people broke in and stole a bunch of like priceless jewelry, fled, and from what I understand, have not been found yet.

By the way, I love that their museum has such a French name that no one else can even say it.

It sounds so dumb when we say it.

The Louvre.

Yeah, right, exactly.

Like French people must hear other people say the name of that museum and go, Jesus, that's awful.

Well, you know, that's my strategy when I I go to France.

The Louvre.

I don't speak English.

I speak French so poorly that they give up

out of just desperation, just that emotional torture.

They give up and they would rather speak English than me speak any more French.

Yeah, get over it.

I mean, there's like 10 people left that speak French.

What you're holding on to.

The ones that way with the jewels.

So I love this though.

So let me

get the

send the Pink Panther after them.

Call the gendarme, y'all.

A manhunt is underway for a gang of thieves who carried out a broad daylight raid.

A gang on Paris's Louvre Museum stole jewels described as priceless.

French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said it took just minutes for the suspects to carry out the burglary Sunday morning, shortly after the museum opened to visitors.

So the museum...

was open at the time.

It seems like they used a truck with a mechanical ladder to reach a first floor window.

And for the non-Europeans out there, that's the second floor.

Right.

And then they went in through a window, busted into a display case, and stole a bunch of stuff.

And then they escaped on mopeds.

That's very French.

Very French.

I love it.

Did they get in those little tiny cars and run down the shirt little alley, little narrow alley?

No, but oddly enough, the security guards were like, it's crazy.

Catherine Zetta Jones was just like doing gymnastics through lasers.

It was really, it was so impressive.

I just couldn't even stop it.

They were dressed as an army of mines.

Silent robbery.

Officials said nine items were taken.

One, a crown belonging to Napoleon III's wife, was apparently dropped and found nearby.

By the one,

the one that they dropped was a crown that contained like 1,300 diamonds.

And that's one that they

that's one that they dropped and left behind.

Yeah, we go.

1,000

emeralds.

1,300?

1,354 diamonds and 56 emeralds.

And it was dropped and broken and left nearby.

Napoleon's wife is showing up that guy from A ⁇ M.

She's like,

you had a lot.

Well, check this out.

I got 1,300 diamonds.

Jesus.

So I don't get this.

I didn't know this was a thing there.

So they have exhibits that are not just art, I guess.

They've also, yes.

That was from the same gallery where the like the national jewels are.

Okay, okay.

Okay.

That makes sense.

Somebody got in there and they dropped a crown.

That's a fumble, dude.

I know.

I know how much much easier that was.

They found it like on the road.

But what?

Oh, that's somebody left it on the hood of the car.

They had to unlock the door and they put it on the roof and then they drove off.

They drove off.

I hate when I do that.

And everybody's like yelling at them.

Like, you got the crown?

No, you got the crown.

Oh, shit, I left it on the roof of the car.

You know, that was an argument with them at some point.

Then they read about the paper, like, fucking CPR, look what you did, fucking jackass.

But also, though, what would you do

with that?

Like, you, this is a very unique item.

Who the hell are you going to sell it to?

Well, I mean, I guess you have two options, right?

You either sell it to like some private collector who knows exactly where it came from and is willing to have it anyway.

Or, I mean, look, these things, if they have like 1,300 diamonds in them,

that honestly what you do is you melt that motherfucker down and you sell the 1,300 diamonds.

And that's basically like the, that's basically the plot of Ocean's 8.

What was Ocean's 8?

That was the the all-girl Oceans movie where

they're heisting some jewels off of Anne Hathaway, who plays an actress who borrowed some crazy expensive jewelry, probably from the Louvre

for

some fancy party.

And they want to steal those jewels that she's wearing off her.

And they get like some jewelry maker to like break down the jewelry and remake it into other stuff so they can smuggle the jewels out of the party.

I mean, that's a massive amount of spoilers, by the way, but it's still a really fun movie.

I think you'll be fine.

I think anyone who wanted to watch Ocean's 8 has probably seen it by now.

No, look, if you haven't seen Ocean's 8, I'm just going to say two things: Sandra Bullock, Kate Blanchett.

In the same, like, really, like, kind of hot, like,

is it maybe a little bit gay or is it just really sexy in general?

The same kind of like kind of awesome dynamic that, like, Brad Pitt and George Clooney had.

It's a good dynamic.

If you haven't seen it, Ocean's 13, you probably never got to oceans 8 because of oceans 13 oceans 13 has one of the worst meta level plot twists is that the one where they have

don't say it don't say it don't say it let people go and enjoy it on their own ashley if they haven't seen it before wow it's like you're watching the movie and you're like what am i watching like a draft like an early cut of this movie right like this is this is it was strange surely you jest was someone's blood alcohol level 0.337 when they signed off on that?

Yeah, that guy was the test audience for Ocean's 13.

You know what?

It's interesting when a franchise has so, it just oozes so much charisma that like that gets it by.

You know, they're talking about doing a prequel now with Margot Robbie, and I want to say it's Bradley Cooper.

And I think it's, and I think it's supposed to be the ocean's parents?

The ocean's parents?

Right, like Danny Ocean's and Sandra Bullock Ocean's parents.

And they, what, they send him to Earth and tell him to fuck a bunch of chicks.

That's Bradley Cooper's fighting out.

That's all he does.

Also, a really weird plot twist.

In an otherwise completely enjoyable movie.

What movie?

Superman.

Oh, oh, right.

Right.

But Bradley Cooper and the woman who's French, who could probably pronounce Louvre,

who was in Westworld.

She was in Westworld?

Yeah, she was the prostitute who goes nuts and starts killing everybody.

That's not Andy Newton.

No, that was great.

Yeah, that is great.

That is, yeah.

That was great.

Yeah.

But, yeah, so I have something that I'm actually pissed off about that I want to talk about while AM got me fired up.

All right, go ahead.

For being a good football team, apparently.

I read this

financial news this weekend.

I heard this new term.

Apparently, it's not that new, but it's one that's making the rounds right now.

This will infuriate you.

This is Goldman Sachs, an analyst at Goldman Sachs said that the new normal going forward with the economy is

jobless growth.

Oh, does that mean like unemployment going up?

That means the economy growing without jobs growing.

So jobless growth.

So if you break down what that phrase means, growth means profit or the increase in wealth and value of the companies.

And then the jobless part is, but not for you guys.

Like it's literally,

it's literally like they're predicting wealth inequality and just talking about it openly.

Like it's just,

it's so ridiculous.

And it's everything from like AI to economy, and then, like, always the talk about, oh, the next recession, we're going to restructure the way that people are hired.

And no one is moving around.

No one's getting hired.

No one's getting fired, but there's just no new jobs, and there never will be new jobs ever again.

It's like, God damn, dude.

Are you like trying to start a revolution?

No, it feels like

was it Norm McDonald who said, like, it's a big club.

You ain't in it.

That's George Carlin.

George Carlin.

Yeah.

Norm McDonald said, yeah.

The,

So I don't know.

I read that and it's just like, it's just like the quiet part out loud.

And it's just like people just not caring.

Or like the line from the big short.

How come they're admitting this?

Because they're not admitting it.

They're bragging.

They're bragging about it.

Right.

I mean, like, who was like, sat down and did, did they have like a meeting?

Did they have a team meeting?

And they're like, all right, we need, we need a new, like, we need a buzzword for this.

We need it to like sound slick.

We need to encompass this whole concept into words.

you go also if you have jobless growth what what's fueling the growth if all the right like where is it going to come from exactly it's like i mean

it's just like it's like big big circle right the circle of life but it's not it's just like a like a parabola just falls off to nothing right like because it doesn't reconnect to the other fucking side what do you do when the stone got no more blood what are you gonna do ashley when the stone's got no more blood when you've had 25 drinks in a short period of time and you go for 26 what are you gonna do i hope that guy's actually okay.

I don't actually know that he's okay.

I was just

amazed at that number.

Given that they were released to EMS, I have to assume, I'm hoping here, otherwise, I'm going to feel like a real asshole that they got the necessary treatment for a blood alcohol level that high.

Like at that point,

are you, is it you're, you got mostly like an alcohol system with some blood in it?

Yeah, you found traces of blood in your alcohol.

That's what you ended up with at that point in time.

I hope he's actually okay.

That's actually there's a lot going on there, right?

Right.

That's just a headline where we don't get to read the actual full story, but I hope that person's okay.

But I was astounded by those numbers.

Astounded.

Very impressive.

It's like Vince Young, Shohei Otani, and then this guy.

Individual performances that are worthy of note.

It was really weird, too, as they started carting him away just like diamonds were dropping.

Right, right.

A little trail.

Oddly enough, he could pronounce Louvre correctly.

French were totally fine with that.

We're going to the

Louvre.

All right.

Ashley, who is helping us on our heist to go get Napoleon's wife's crown?

All right.

All right.

We're going to say a big shout out to the drivers who wouldn't leave it on the roof, Cronenberg and A.A.

Ron.

Thank you both so much for sponsoring this episode of our show at patreon.com slash morningsomewhere and richerteeth.com.

You find a crown on the street that you know came from a jewel heist.

That's a moment of temptation.

Like, yeah, like, what are you going to do?

That's another full story.

I'd like to hear the whole thing.

I mean, also, like, do you pop out just like one of the 1300 diamonds and be like, I don't know, that one must have fallen through the cracks.

I'd be like, bitch, I wore this TR to work today.

Check the cameras.

I had it when I came in today.

All right.

Well, that does it for us today, October 20th, 2025.

We will be back to talk to you tomorrow.

We hope you will be here as well.

Bye, everybody.
