Speaker 10 Chris, why are you laughing?

Speaker 11 Because we just got Good Friday energy in here. Roy burnt his hand, and I can't wait to hear how.

Speaker 12 Fantastic.

Speaker 11 We should get to that later.

Speaker 2 Let's tease that.

Speaker 11 I feel like people will stick around for that.

Speaker 10 You're laughing that Roy burnt his hand?

Speaker 4 I appreciate that.

Speaker 11 Well, no, I'm curious about that because Roy came in and was like, I burnt my hand. And when Roy says something, I'm like, I got to follow that.

Speaker 12 No, but...

Speaker 1 But not really, because like you said, Roy burnt his hand.

Speaker 15 I'm like, what happened?

Speaker 16 Like, save it for air. So, like, you're not really following it.
You don't actually care what happened to Roy's hand. You're just trying to fill time on this show with Roy's trauma.

Speaker 15 No.

Speaker 10 Were you cooking Roy?

Speaker 13 Yes, sir.

Speaker 12 That's exactly what I was doing.

Speaker 17 Wow, that wasn't my guess.

Speaker 15 I thought it was an iron.

Speaker 18 You thought it was a curling iron. Like, with what? Exactly.
There's no camera.

Speaker 14 They could have been a curling iron, a regular iron, any type of iron.

Speaker 15 Golfing iron, whatever. They all.

Speaker 19 Golf iron?

Speaker 18 Yeah. Yeah, I don't think that.

Speaker 17 Cast iron skillet.

Speaker 18 Yeah, kind of. Yeah.

Speaker 18 I forgot that.

Speaker 13 Well, we'll save it for later.

Speaker 10 No, no, go ahead.

Speaker 19 We're here now.

Speaker 4 Go ahead now. Okay.

Speaker 10 As As a little treat to the Shadow Show audience, as a reward for them tailgating before the show, give them the most prized of possessions. Roy has come in, and from his mouth, content has spilled.

Speaker 18 All right. So, yeah, I had some tricep steak that I seared and then put in the oven.

Speaker 18 And then I took it out, put it on the stove, put the steak on the cutting board. And then Ani came in and said something that probably annoyed me or something and knocked me off my kirtur.

Speaker 18 And then I forget I didn't have the oven bit on and touched the handle which just came out of the oven for about 30 minutes and on 425 and uh wait burn my blaming a need is a move that's crazy well i had to in this situation i went

Speaker 11 you definitely don't your hand like she you're the one that grabbed it she didn't put it there it was your hand yeah but now my mind is off of the fact that hey this pan was in the oven piping hot i've done this move because with like a steak or a nice piece of red meat you want to sear it get that sear but then you want to finish it in the oven so i've done the move of putting it in in there, but you got to remember, Roy.

Speaker 18 Yeah, I got to remember. Yeah, unfortunately, I did not remember, and now I got blisters on my finger.

Speaker 22 This is a crazy lack of accountability.

Speaker 17 My wife probably said something that annoyed me.

Speaker 18 No, no, it wasn't probably. She did say something that annoyed me.

Speaker 19 It wasn't probably.

Speaker 18 What was it? I don't remember. I got a burnt hand.

Speaker 5 It made me forget what she said.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 10 Did you immediately blame her for it?

Speaker 9 Yep, I did.

Speaker 23 Okay,

Speaker 10 all of that sounds flawed.

Speaker 19 How?

Speaker 10 Well, you burnt yourself with your own adult hand and your own adult will and your own adult choices. You can react to your wife's annoyances however you wish to react.

Speaker 10 Many people don't react by immediately burning their hand.

Speaker 24 The story delivered.

Speaker 2 Sounds like a classic scene out of a 1970s sitcom.

Speaker 18 A 70s sitcom.

Speaker 25 Yeah, when you could just say, oh, my wife did this.

Speaker 16 I'm not at fault for anything.

Speaker 11 That would not be written into a show today.

Speaker 17 No. In the 80s, that would be a big thing to start an episode.

Speaker 18 No, we're not blaming all the wives for anything anymore.

Speaker 19 Or husbands.

Speaker 15 Are you longing for that time? I'm confused here.

Speaker 13 I'm not. Maybe for his turn.

Speaker 10 You wonder if Roy is longing for the early 1970s?

Speaker 19 That happened with the Jeffersons or something.

Speaker 26 This is the Dan Labatar Show with the Stu Gats Podcast.

Speaker 10 This is a legitimate punishment. I am uncomfortable.
I am wearing leather in South Florida. It is tight and hot and steamy and already sweaty in places that I'd prefer to not sweat.

Speaker 10 I am Jesse Gemstone. If it's not clear from the mutton chops, mutton chops that I am sure over the next three hours will fall off.

Speaker 10 And these sunglasses, I can't really see anything.

Speaker 10 Never mind being able to read my notes or the headset isn't in the right place. I'm going to have difficulty doing today's show because of this outfit that is swampy in nature.

Speaker 10 And look how happy Jeremy is.

Speaker 10 You're happy because I am honoring the audience by doing a punishment that's supposed to feel like a punishment, unlike Billy doing the Ted Lasso and just throwing on a phony mustache.

Speaker 22 That wasn't part of it.

Speaker 27 The mustache gained me an egg.

Speaker 17 Thank you. It was.
He even said it goes above and beyond. We reached out to UD and UD said that I think I have immunity the next two weeks as a result of this.

Speaker 12 That's true. Oh.

Speaker 10 Yeah, you can't really make things up. And even though we're shorthanded and I can't actually see what it is,

Speaker 10 the board says, no, but it's not the theater of the mind when you're just lying.

Speaker 15 Well, I mean, there's been no evidence that UD actually is in negotiation.

Speaker 10 Well, but I don't think that's the evidence is, the evidence is that I don't lie and I don't make things up. And so

Speaker 10 that, no, you were perpetually doing that. Did someone take my lying penalty out of here? I can't actually see what it it is.

Speaker 17 I'm saying there's no evidence that the UD thing is real.

Speaker 10 But okay, there will be shortly because I'm negotiating.

Speaker 22 I got a couple weeks off.

Speaker 13 Let's see here.

Speaker 10 You know what? I don't have a lying one here anymore.

Speaker 3 Did it ever exist? Use to sell.

Speaker 4 Minor penalty.

Speaker 19 Two minutes. Personal foul.

Speaker 19 Personal and foul.

Speaker 10 You're going to have to leave for a second, even though we're shorthanded.

Speaker 10 You're going to have to leave for two minutes because you're offensive.

Speaker 10 I want to talk about the baseball, and I also want to talk about the football.

Speaker 10 But the first thing that I want to do is celebrate that finally guest booker extraordinaire Chris Cody has tracked down a guest that we've been trying to get for I'm going to say six weeks.

Speaker 10 And do you want to give me any of the backstory here, Chris, before we show the video and who the guest who is who will be joining us in 20 minutes? How did you finally find him?

Speaker 10 Without giving too much away, I'd like the video to be the surprise on who the guest is, but how did it come to be?

Speaker 11 I was made aware of this person and where he was, so I got a contact for, and I just had to kind of keep circling back.

Speaker 11 I didn't get a response the first couple times, and I finally heard back last week, and I was just like, this will slap next week.

Speaker 10 So, join us. Okay, I just pulled off my ear

Speaker 10 earphones that are a little sweaty, and it pulled off the mutton chop. So, I'm going to need some help here shortly.
But let's go ahead and play the video for the audience.

Speaker 10 And for the audio audience, just know this is the ump who got hit multiple times with with wild pitches and foul balls in his foul balls and so we will be talking to him in about 20 minutes but go ahead and play that video

Speaker 1 the first one

Speaker 10 Eric takes one doesn't fall to the ground no that time he just bent over you heard the pain

Speaker 9 number two

Speaker 11 still standing yeah so impressive crouched over and here's the third one

Speaker 29 and that's when he goes down and on the third one he

Speaker 11 right behind home plate, lays in the fetal position. The coaches awkwardly walk over.

Speaker 10 Stand over him.

Speaker 11 So umpire Joe Rosari will join us today to tell us about what happened here because it seemed painful.

Speaker 10 Get for me just the three different groaning sounds that he makes so that I could play them for him and get his actual reaction to all three of the sounds.

Speaker 10 Play the entirety of the video again so people can enjoy. So the audio audience, which will not have the pleasure of these particular videos, and put it on a poll as well, Juju at Labatard show,

Speaker 10 is it always funny when someone else gets hit in the foul balls? But listen to how the escalating O's come gutturally from his nether regions.

Speaker 11 That one he's like, I can wear this.

Speaker 3 Number two.

Speaker 19 Ryan.

Speaker 11 The first two are Homer Simpson-ish.

Speaker 4 Yeah, the third one, he's just done.

Speaker 24 I think it's important to note that this is definitely like 10 and under travel baseball. So these are not, this is not high school baseball.

Speaker 24 You might be thinking when you hear the ping off the bat and the velocity at which this is hitting this man in the nether regions. No, no.

Speaker 24 This is 10-year-old baseball for sure, and it makes it so much funnier.

Speaker 10 The umpire's name is Joe, but when the coach said the way to stay alive, Brian, I thought he was talking to the ump.

Speaker 10 But on the third one, I don't have proof that the ump is alive because he does go into the fetal position.

Speaker 10 Not unlike, as I said, Tony when he

Speaker 10 hurt his hip trying field goals. I meant to ask follow-up questions on Tony, who says that he's suing me and Metalark, because I didn't ask him to do any of that.

Speaker 10 Like, I learned he was kicking field goals when he started kicking field goals. Like, I don't know how I'm responsible.

Speaker 10 Is this Anid's fault? Is this the fault of Roy's wife for annoying him that Tony hurt his hip? Because I didn't ask Tony to do any of that. Yes, it is.
Okay, we will blame Anid then.

Speaker 10 She is a receptacle for our blame.

Speaker 11 I have the sound of the guy saying, way to stay alive, Brian.

Speaker 9 We're going to stay alive, Brian.

Speaker 19 Good job, buddy.

Speaker 10 I've got a lot of questions for this umpire, and I don't know how to tease something better than that. Like, I don't, I believe time spent listening.
We're going to have a giant spike right now.

Speaker 10 Many, many times people tune in and they're like, ah, Dan's there. I don't, Cody's there.
I'm not interested. Or Stugatz isn't there.
Or Zaz isn't there.

Speaker 19 I don't want to listen anymore.

Speaker 10 I don't want to watch anymore. But I believe this guest and a grilling of follow-up questions will make this guest someone that people stick around for.

Speaker 12 And when he sees you, he's going to be like, I like this show.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 10 The games yesterday, I do not blame the Padres at all for feeling like an umpire ruined their season, ended their season. The Cubs were in a position to Bartman.
They were,

Speaker 10 their pitcher, Keller, hit two batters after Xavier Bogart was given, you know, just an end of season reaming by the umpire. That will not be a strike next year.

Speaker 10 They're changing Jeremy to Robots next year, correct?

Speaker 24 Well, they're changing to the ABS system, so you'll have a couple of challenges,

Speaker 24 which to me is the perfect hybrid between the two.

Speaker 24 Like, if you have those two challenges and you get to continue to keep them when you're correct, that feels like the right way to go about it, to keep the humanity while still making up for moments like this.

Speaker 10 Well, I want to talk for a second. The Cubs, historically, I know that Joe Madden and the Cubs erased this, but historically, their fans have expected the worst and earned that expectation.

Speaker 10 In fact, I saw that Jake Arietta and Ryan Dempster were the ones singing the seventh inning stretch yesterday.

Speaker 10 And it's because they wouldn't dare to invite Kerry Wood and Mark Pryor to do it because the Marlins ended those two people and they associate those two people with we were better than the Marlins and the Marlins won the World Series so they brought Arietta and Dempster back to sing the seventh inning stretch and in the ninth inning they were prepared to cough that entire thing up.

Speaker 10 Merrill hits a home run.

Speaker 10 I told you yesterday I've liked the Padres a lot for three years and baseball's random, baseball's weird. The Padres bullpin is championship worthy.
It's the best bullpin in the sport.

Speaker 10 Ew Darvish has nothing left. Eudarvish, it was sad to watch him go out there, get three outs, and they yanked him off the field as fast as possible.
So Merrill hits a home run to make it 3-1.

Speaker 10 And Bogart, who he was great in the, Bogart's, excuse me, he was great in the series. He's a professional hitter, and he worked the count to 3-2, and it was ball four.

Speaker 10 It was obviously ball four, and I think the umpire got swept away with, I'm at Wrigley Field. This is exciting.
I'm going to do something exciting here. That did not deserve to be a strike call.

Speaker 10 The Padres are mad afterward. Do we have any footage of the Padres? Were they like...

Speaker 11 This was out of control to me. Like the umpires are leaving the field, walking like from the field to their room and going through the dugout, and the Padres players have to be held back.

Speaker 10 Yeah,

Speaker 10 let's play the B-roll of that because the Padres did feel like their season was ended by the umpires, and it was, because what happened right after that, if you watched everything that happened after that,

Speaker 10 the game would have gotten, first of all, two Tatis,

Speaker 10 and the way

Speaker 10 the rest of the inning played out, because there were two hit by pitches right after that, they would have tied the game.

Speaker 10 They would have been able to tie the game and be in a more threatening position if they had not been gifted that out.

Speaker 10 And so, Manny Machado, let's play the sound of Manny Machado getting testy with reporters afterward. And I get it.
I get why the Padres would be emotional and bothered by this. Let's listen to this.

Speaker 29 I know it just ended, but how do you assess a season like this?

Speaker 29 I mean, what type of question is that, dude? My guy, how do I assess the season? We just lost.

Speaker 29 How do you think I assess it? I don't know. That's what I was asking.

Speaker 32 You tell me.

Speaker 29 What's a loss?

Speaker 29 We lost. How do you assess it? It's a loss.

Speaker 29 You lost.

Speaker 10 Come on, dude.

Speaker 29 I mean, you could ask better questions than that. Let's go.

Speaker 32 Come on.

Speaker 29 Thanks, man. Thank you.

Speaker 29 You're going to wait till the last second to ask that question.

Speaker 13 It's a good question.

Speaker 10 Like, what's wrong with the question?

Speaker 12 He looked happy, too, if we're going to be honest.

Speaker 10 Oh, he's faking it. He looked happy the way Tyreek Hill looked happy as he came off the field where we were all like, wait a minute, he shouldn't look that happy.
Is he faking happy?

Speaker 15 Did you see the video like someone took following Tyreek Hill's ambulance?

Speaker 22 I weren't following him, but they were like next to him on the expressway as he's being driven to the hospital and he's like FaceTiming his own.

Speaker 1 He's still smiling.

Speaker 12 Like

Speaker 17 he seems content with like that injury, I guess, or he was like at peace with it.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 12 Just seems like someone who doesn't really know how to control like all of his emotions either way.

Speaker 32 Good or bad.

Speaker 19 I don't know.

Speaker 10 Can you get us that video?

Speaker 10 Because while you've seen that video, when you're talking about that video, that would be a good video for all of us to see if you can get it to the video team because we have assessed what we have said is a strange reaction from Tyreek Hill.

Speaker 10 But I do understand basically just about any reaction when you've just realized that your 36 million non-guaranteed next year went from I was going to get that 36 million to now I'm not guaranteed that 36 million.

Speaker 10 I think any reaction after that that doesn't harm people is going to be an acceptable reaction, even if it is curious. Because

Speaker 10 I don't think that he could possibly be happy, but if I had to theorize why he was happy, it's because he doesn't have to play for these Dolphins anymore. Like,

Speaker 10 if there's anything to be seen here, maybe he feels like, okay, I don't actually have to run over the middle anymore for a team that's going to be 4-13. I don't know.

Speaker 15 That's going to be a big week for the Dolphins. Against the Panthers, you see the big news.

Speaker 11 The two offensive linemen that are out?

Speaker 12 Chuba Hubbard's out, too.

Speaker 15 It's a Rico Dowdle game, which is great for me because I picked him up a couple days ago in fantasy.

Speaker 23 But, I mean, the Dolphins all of a sudden, a sneaky two and three, and a lot of people wrote them off, huh?

Speaker 10 I don't know why you're assuming they're going to win a road game.

Speaker 27 I'm just, it's a feeling.

Speaker 20 I'm feeling good about this one.

Speaker 22 Dolphins is sneaky two and three.

Speaker 17 And then, you know, don't let this team get hot because if you look ahead after that, I mean, you may face the Ravens without Lamar Jackson. That's a couple weeks away, so who knows?

Speaker 12 The Chargers, obviously, that's going to be a test.

Speaker 11 Chargers are also missing two key offensive linemen. I'll keep bringing it up, folks.

Speaker 22 Well, that's, you know, that's two weeks from now. We don't know.

Speaker 27 We thought the Chargers were, you know, a godly team, top tier, and then last week they kind of let us down.

Speaker 17 So keep an eye on the Chargers this week for a preview of what next week game is.

Speaker 14 And then there's the Browns.

Speaker 1 The Browns are a mess.

Speaker 27 You could be looking at a potentially...

Speaker 32 Three and four team here, maybe, in a couple weeks.

Speaker 19 Not going to do that with you.

Speaker 10 Refuse to do that with you. The Falcons.

Speaker 10 All of those teams are looking at the Dolphins and saying we have an easy one coming up next against

Speaker 10 trap.

Speaker 20 It's how you trap them. Classic trap game against the Dolphin.

Speaker 28 Hey, Jeremy, old buddy, old pal. Hey, Mike.
I want to talk to you about Miller Light. You and I have bonded over these last few weeks talking about our shared love of Miller Light.

Speaker 4 That's right.

Speaker 28 A great partner of our show for practically its entire existence.

Speaker 17 It's been a partner of this show since I was 10 years old.

Speaker 28 And it's been around for 50 years and they've been a part of our show for almost 20. We're approaching incredible partner status with Miller Light.

Speaker 24 I mean, to think that people were celebrating at my bar mitzvah with Miller Light as they were a partner of this show is pretty incredible.

Speaker 28 You're talking about the moments that are made better by making those times, those special times, Miller time. Jeremy, there's nothing like cracking open Miller Light with your crew.

Speaker 28 This football season, it's especially true.

Speaker 28 Whether it's a touchdown you didn't see coming or just arguing about fantasy lineups you already know you're gonna lose, Miller Light has been the taste you can depend on for 50 years, brewed for flavor with simple ingredients, rich toffy notes, that iconic golden color.

Speaker 28 And here's a kicker, Jeremy. What's up? It's just 96 calories.

Speaker 30 I still can't believe that. We say it every week.
I can't believe it.

Speaker 28 It's just 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. It's the original light beer since 1975 and still hitting different five decades later.
Miller Light. Great taste, 96 calories.

Speaker 28 Go to millerlife.com/slash Dan to find the livery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Light pretty much anywhere. They sell beer.
It's Miller time. Celebrate responsibly.

Speaker 26 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 17 I may take it one step further.

Speaker 32 Wait a minute.

Speaker 32 Wait a minute.

Speaker 10 Wait a minute. You're getting sexier by the moments.

Speaker 10 Slow down. We haven't even gotten.

Speaker 26 Stugats.

Speaker 31 Jason Sanders, you're unnoticed.

Speaker 31 Oh, my God.

Speaker 4 Oh, wow. I love you, Duke.

Speaker 26 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 10 let's watch Billy's video here thank you for sending it Billy uh let's watch this video and you can just see Tyreek Hill in the back of the ambulance still smiling while on the FaceTime that he was on uh in the in the wheelchair uh this feels slightly invasive i regret doing this i don't i don't think that uh i don't think that whoever chose to fill their socials with i'm gonna chase this ambulance down um i i don't think that that person should have done that.

Speaker 11 You guys see the opposite angle? There was another angle of this same Tyreek video. It's definitely not AI.
Definitely not AI where he happens to fall out of the ambulance.

Speaker 25 Oh no. Did that happen?

Speaker 11 I mean, it's a different angle. I'm not sure whether it was real or not.

Speaker 9 See, look, oh, no.

Speaker 23 Tyreek.

Speaker 7 Oh, no.

Speaker 19 For the wheels.

Speaker 10 That is definitely not artificial intelligence. That is obviously.
It's a nice landing.

Speaker 4 He landed nicely.

Speaker 13 It's bad to love AI.

Speaker 14 I think I might love AI.

Speaker 10 Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Lebatard Show. Is it bad to love AI?

Speaker 18 The legs going up, man.

Speaker 10 When you guys think,

Speaker 4 is his leg crooked?

Speaker 19 That's not right.

Speaker 10 Oh, no.

Speaker 10 I regret doing all of that. I should have asked more questions before I followed Billy down a path.
I should know better after all.

Speaker 14 I did have that video of the guy falling on the egg.

Speaker 4 That was not me.

Speaker 10 Okay, I just shouldn't have rewarded any of the behavior

Speaker 10 from anyone chasing down Tyreek Hill's ambulance.

Speaker 4 But

Speaker 10 when I think of

Speaker 10 surprising games this year in football, because you mentioned the Giants beating the Chargers, the Giants, I believe, in that game were less than a touchdown underdog.

Speaker 10 The biggest surprise point spread-wise, Jeremy, see if I've got this wrong. I think Cleveland winning at home as a seven-point dog

Speaker 10 against Green Bay was until last night the biggest surprise of the season. But what the 49ers are doing is really and truly unbelievable because Kyle Shanahan's supposed to be bad in one score game.

Speaker 10 Statistically, he is bad.

Speaker 10 He has Mac Jones starting last night and it does make me wonder to see Mac Jones look like that after I see what he looks like in New England, what he looks like in Jacksonville.

Speaker 10 To see Mac Jones throw 49 passes and only two of them be truly inaccurate, to see Mac Jones walk into the stadium looking this way with his pregame outfit when he doesn't have,

Speaker 10 among others, he does not have his first wide receiver, his second wide receiver, his third wide receiver. He doesn't have his top tight end.
He doesn't have his top defensive end.

Speaker 10 And obviously the 49ers don't have their top quarterback.

Speaker 10 To see Kyle Shanahan do that with Brock Purdy, to get to a Super Bowl with Jimmy Garoppolo and have Mac Jones look that way.

Speaker 10 I know, Billy, that you in God Bless Football and in other places have been critical of Kyle Shanahan because he doesn't win those one-score games, but he seems to have an ability to make quarterbacks look better than they are because the other thing that the 49ers are is four and one when they don't have an interception this year and they don't have a rushing touchdown.

Speaker 10 So they have not had a rushing touchdown. They have not had an interception and and they're 4-1.

Speaker 10 That last night was the most impressive victory I have seen a football team have this entire season because it doesn't make any sense that they would win that game.

Speaker 10 That's Mac Jones' reaction when he was asked about an interception he threw, and then he said the defensive guy didn't have to do anything.

Speaker 4 I threw it right at him.

Speaker 1 Did Bill Belichick ruin Mac Jones?

Speaker 10 Did Mac Jones play for Urban Meyer? Who was the coach of Mac Jones in Jacksonville that made Mac Jones look that constipated.

Speaker 10 And it's still a bunch of underneath stuff, but he was accurate on everything. Two of 49 passes were inaccurate last night.
And that's suitable.

Speaker 11 Like, I didn't know. When I saw this suit, I thought they were going to get their ass kicked, but then they win.
So maybe he's doing something right here.

Speaker 13 Is that, what kind of red is this?

Speaker 4 Is it a magenta or something?

Speaker 10 What is that? So he's got a half red, half black jacket. He's got shoes with no socks on.
It looks like it's a bit of a tuxedo bottom on the pants. The pants look a little bit high, too, do they not?

Speaker 10 With the stripe down the side, the red stripe.

Speaker 13 It's a screen style.

Speaker 12 It's scarlet, I'm being told. Scarlet red.

Speaker 10 Well, we're not qualified as a group to talk about anyone else's fashion, but this looks ridiculous.

Speaker 11 I'm with you. Jeremy likes it.

Speaker 12 I don't agree. I think he looks great.

Speaker 12 Especially after the win. It does look better after you win a game like that.

Speaker 24 If he had gotten destroyed, it wouldn't have been good. Also, it was Doug Peterson, and it was last year.
that he was in Jacksonville.

Speaker 1 You guys realize that?

Speaker 13 That was last season? Okay.

Speaker 1 He wasn't honestly that bad. I'm looking at it.

Speaker 17 It's crazy.

Speaker 24 He was better with Brian Thomas Jr.

Speaker 2 than Trevor Lawrence was, which continues to be the case.

Speaker 10 I'm going to say this again because I want everyone to see what's happening in San Francisco.

Speaker 10 No wide receiver one, no quarterback one, no tight end one, no wide receiver two, no wide receiver three, no defensive end one. And I want to get into the decisions made at the last part of the game.

Speaker 10 We'll get into it with Dominique Foxworth. He's going to join us later.
Michelle Beadle is going to join us as well. No comments, okay? Don't say anything to them about how I'm dressed.

Speaker 10 Let's just wait for a natural reaction to see what it is that they have to say. But you guys saw the way that game ended, okay?

Speaker 10 First of all, you didn't have to watch anything except for about the last three minutes of regulation and then overtime. Matthew Stafford makes it look very easy late in a game.

Speaker 10 Puka Nakua makes it look very easy late in a game.

Speaker 10 That throw to Atwell late by Matthew Stafford was crazy good, but the Rams got the game one, and then Zaslow hates the punching of the football, but the punching of the football on the goal line with Williams knocks the ball out, and

Speaker 10 they kept going to Williams, and they went to Williams late on fourth and one, and they should. He's great, but he was not great at the end of the game.

Speaker 10 He lost that game, and at the end of the game on fourth and one, I'm not used to coaches going for it there still after all this time. I don't think a lot of them would have.

Speaker 10 I think a lot of them would have taken the field goal in the tie game, even though the 49ers have had kicking, I'm sorry, the Rams have had kicking issues.

Speaker 10 And so I want to ask Dominique about all that because maybe the tide has indeed turned and it is normal to trust your offense above all things.

Speaker 10 But Al Michaels was saying at the end of the game, this is why you pay McVay big big bucks. This is why you trust your play call.
This is why you trust your quarterback.

Speaker 10 And I'm looking and I'm like, what I trust is Fred Warner is awfully close to the line of scrimmage. And Fred Warner knows what it is that you're going to do.

Speaker 10 And Fred Warner is not a blockable human being. And so they get stopped on fourth and one to end the game.
And it's the single biggest surprise I've seen in the sport this year.

Speaker 10 Do you guys have a nominee for me? on anything that because Cleveland winning against Green Bay, but Cleveland was at home.

Speaker 10 like that's stafford and we know that's a good rams team like all of us would say that that is a good rams team that the two losses the rams have this season they could easily be unbeaten i don't know that the falcons are very good but they were five and a half point favorites against carolina who beat them 30 to nothing That's a Carolina winning anything 30 to nothing.

Speaker 10 No, but Carolina is an easy game. They're going to make the Dolphins two and three this weekend because Billy's totally unafraid of them.

Speaker 2 Well, no, not just that.

Speaker 15 I mean, we mentioned the Browns real quick. They did, if you guys remember correctly, they made a quarterback switch.
Dylan Gabriel is going to be taking over the helm.

Speaker 22 He's got a rough one this week against the Vikings.

Speaker 17 Who knows how that one's going to play out?

Speaker 25 I mean, it seemed like you probably lose that.

Speaker 2 Then you have the Steelers, a tough test.

Speaker 14 That's a rival of theirs.

Speaker 22 And then you may be coming into the following week against the Dolphins with questions again at the quarterback position.

Speaker 20 So, I mean, don't look too far ahead.

Speaker 27 Week seven might be kind of a get-right game.

Speaker 12 A potential matchup of left-handed Hawaiian quarterbacks

Speaker 24 and Dylan Gabriel. So a real rarity.

Speaker 26 Don Libertard.

Speaker 10 Punctuate this segment with what is your strike three call.

Speaker 21 Strike one would be strike!

Speaker 35 And then you stand up and you give a good point to the right.

Speaker 26 Stugats.

Speaker 35 That's the same for strike two. But strike three, you get down low, you got your hands behind the catcher.
All right, the right arm goes up into the air. Yeah!

Speaker 35 And then you finish it with the punch.

Speaker 21 The right arm flings way up into the air.

Speaker 32 And you finish the body. I wish everybody's a bad guy.
The audio's great.

Speaker 26 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 10 We have to stop right now, stop all things, because the great Joe Rosari is now with us, and we've been trying to find him for a long time.

Speaker 10 And he has made himself available back in August as the home plate umpire. He was hit in the privates three times in one one game.

Speaker 10 And I have a ton of questions. Joe, thank you for making the time.
I am assuming that at this point you have shaken off all that pain or has there been lingering effects?

Speaker 36 No, no, we've shaken off all that pain.

Speaker 10 All right, so let's go through these one at a time here.

Speaker 10 How many innings apart were these three horrible foul tips? Please watch this with us here. Actually, before you answer that question, just watch this with us.

Speaker 10 And at the end of this, just take me through your thoughts in general.

Speaker 36 Okay.

Speaker 36 Ouch.

Speaker 22 Number two.

Speaker 9 Stay alive, Ryan. You're going to have some trouble.

Speaker 9 Ryan.

Speaker 11 Joe, does that bring you back?

Speaker 36 Oh, yeah, that brings me back.

Speaker 11 So what happened? So when this happens, three in a row, one game, you're a grizzled vet in this game. I'm sure you've had it happen once in a game.
You have it happen three times in one game.

Speaker 11 What happened to you afterwards?

Speaker 36 I have not. What happened to me afterwards is I

Speaker 36 started to urinate blood, so

Speaker 36 I had to go to the hospital for an ultrasound

Speaker 36 to make sure everything was okay. The doctor said, He goes, just don't get hit there again.

Speaker 10 I've got a ton of questions here. So, how long have you been umpiring, Joe?

Speaker 36 About 35 years.

Speaker 10 How many times total before this game had that happened to you in 35 years?

Speaker 36 Twice.

Speaker 10 So in 35 years, you'd only been hit that way twice, and it happens three times in what game? So what was happening here? Was it the incompetence of the catcher?

Speaker 36 No, it was not.

Speaker 36 Every one of those

Speaker 36 shots were foul balls on the inside part of the plate.

Speaker 36 And it's very unusual for that to happen because usually

Speaker 36 if there's a foul ball, you get hit on the opposite side. But these were inside pitches and

Speaker 36 it was not the catcher's fault at all. I mean, the catcher had no time to react on these.

Speaker 10 Do you wear a cup?

Speaker 36 Oh, yes.

Speaker 10 Okay, so gee, all right, so I assume the third of these is the one that hurt the most.

Speaker 13 Do I have that wrong?

Speaker 36 No, that, that, but by the time I took the third one, Dan, it was, it was horrible.

Speaker 36 You know, I just, I couldn't even breathe.

Speaker 10 Did you continue or did you stop onpiring and did they have to cancel the game?

Speaker 36 No, no, I continued.

Speaker 36 I took about 10 minutes just to be able to catch my breath because of the discomfort, but I was able to continue. And as a matter of fact,

Speaker 36 my partner, he's got bad knees.

Speaker 36 That's why I was behind the plate. And even Sunday, the next day,

Speaker 36 I was right behind the plate again.

Speaker 13 I mean look at that look at that guy

Speaker 17 you went to the hospital you were peeing blood and the next day you were back out on the diamond?

Speaker 1 Oh yeah.

Speaker 36 Oh yeah.

Speaker 31 What are the rates?

Speaker 10 I used to get paid $15 a game to umpire. What does an umpire get paid to endure that?

Speaker 36 For that age level, you're getting paid $70 a game

Speaker 36 to do that.

Speaker 36 So

Speaker 36 it's not that bad, but it's great. It keeps you in shape and just keeps the weight off.
That's why I do it. I enjoy it.

Speaker 17 And what's the copay at the ER when you go?

Speaker 7 Like, how many games do you have to do to make up for that?

Speaker 10 It's probably more.

Speaker 36 The copay is more than what I got paid for the day.

Speaker 10 So by the time that you're getting hit the second time, are you still stinging from the first time?

Speaker 36 Oh, yes. Yes.

Speaker 36 yes nauseous is all heck everybody when when they see the video they assume that you're not wearing the cup uh but even a cup doesn't give you that kind of protection you still feel it you you still feel it so i was nauseous by the time the second one came around but by the third one that came around i just i was

Speaker 10 i was down and out How long did you stay down after the third one?

Speaker 36 Oh, probably about seven or eight minutes. I just, it just so nauseous, and I just had to catch my breath on that.

Speaker 10 Did you notice the general callous indifference of coaches who wandered over and weren't paying any attention to the fallen umpire?

Speaker 36 No, I was actually more concerned about what was going on with me.

Speaker 36 I couldn't pay attention. I got to tell you, the coaches and the they were all good.
They were all concerned,

Speaker 36 especially after the third one, and I'm laying there in just in a pile. So the coaches were pretty good.

Speaker 36 They came over, make sure that I was okay to continue.

Speaker 25 After the third one, I imagine the strike zone is wide open, right?

Speaker 20 Like anything that's anywhere in our clothes,

Speaker 17 we got to get out of here. Like, I got to go checked out here, kids.

Speaker 36 Well, it's the flinching. You know, you train yourself never to flinch.

Speaker 36 As a good umpire, you don't flinch. But that day after the third one, my feet were very happy and I was flinching like all heck.

Speaker 10 After the third one, did you just start placing your hands over your private?

Speaker 36 Yeah, and that's a mechanic that we're supposed to use.

Speaker 36 Anyway, you're supposed to do that. You're supposed to leave your fingers dangling.

Speaker 36 So the theory is if it hits, it's going to hit your fingers, not break the fingers, and then just deflect it a little bit. But

Speaker 36 yeah,

Speaker 36 the biggest trick was not to flinch.

Speaker 14 So this is your fault then?

Speaker 36 I would like to blame it on

Speaker 36 somebody.

Speaker 32 The kids, the brats.

Speaker 12 The kids are brats.

Speaker 17 It's a kid's fault. You can say it.
It was the kids' fault.

Speaker 36 Nah, those kids were good. The skill level that these kids have playing elite baseball is incredible.
It's, you know,

Speaker 36 it's incredible. They throw hard.
As a matter of fact,

Speaker 36 I believe on two of those, I got, there was a nine-year-old girl that was pitching and she threw hard.

Speaker 36 um i think she's the one that did the most damage joe um parents talk to you hear a lot about parents like giving umpires crap how often is that a problem with you have you had any wild stories oh yes i got one that that's why i initially when my assigner called me um about uh when he when he called me i thought it was about uh because uh there was a uh i did a rec game and there was a fight two mothers going at it rolling on the grass, fighting.

Speaker 36 That happened this past year. And that's what I thought about the initial call was.
But

Speaker 36 it's incredible.

Speaker 36 The two mothers were going at it.

Speaker 36 The kid,

Speaker 36 what started was a kid got hit on the hands. He was swinging, which is a deadball strike.
So I called it. Now, the grandfather that was there was going crazy,

Speaker 36 wanted to fight me in the parking lot.

Speaker 36 and this guy was i'm 66 this guy was at least five years older than than i am um he wanted uh he wanted a fight and then the mother came over and started yelling at another mother and it just the coaches ended up forfeiting the gate both of the coaches they were great people they said no wait this is just too too much and uh

Speaker 36 and then the mothers started going at it and you know the crew the police came down and took the two mothers away in cuffs so that that was my, that was my, yeah, I know.

Speaker 10 Uh, did they not know the rules? Did you just keep telling them it's a dead ball? You can't swing. If you get hit, you swing, it's a strike.

Speaker 36 Yeah,

Speaker 36 you tell them that, you try to explain it. Um, I usually don't talk to parents and grandparents, you know, unless it's an informative type of thing.

Speaker 36 Well, they want to know, and you know, I'll do that. But yeah, they, they, it was, it was just horrible.
I just, I couldn't, I just couldn't believe it. I mean, you know, know,

Speaker 36 a guy that

Speaker 36 wants to fight me in the parking lot, two mothers just rolling, literally rolling on the grass till the cruisers got there. But this is the stuff that we put up with yearly.

Speaker 10 Oh, it's $70, so you got to, like, it's worth it.

Speaker 10 You thought we were calling you, though, about that dead ball instead of your dead balls?

Speaker 36 Yes, that's what I initially thought.

Speaker 31 Dan.

Speaker 10 The situation that you found yourself in happened in the first time in what inning?

Speaker 36 The first time it happened, I think it happened in the first inning.

Speaker 10 Second time?

Speaker 36 Second time, I believe it was in the third inning, and then the third time, I believe it was on the fourth inning.

Speaker 10 All right, so this is a bad stretch, and the games are seven innings long, so you toughed it out after that. And what were you feeling the next three innings?

Speaker 10 What can you tell me beyond the flinching and beyond the fear and beyond the general throbbing or numbness, what are you feeling the next three innings?

Speaker 36 Oh, just complete nausea.

Speaker 36 I was as nauseous as all heck. I just couldn't,

Speaker 36 you know, even though you're wearing a cup, you still feel it. So I was nauseous and it was just, it was just hard.
The hardest part was the focus, keeping your focus on the game.

Speaker 36 You know, there's a the temptation is to always just cross your legs on the next pitch, but

Speaker 36 you know, you keep it,

Speaker 36 you know,

Speaker 36 you just stay in there. You try to hang in there as best you can.

Speaker 14 Joe, I like you.

Speaker 17 You seem like an old school salt of the earth type of guy.

Speaker 25 And I'm a little concerned, and I hope that you share my concern, but I don't want to lead you here.

Speaker 22 I don't know if you are familiar with this artificial intelligence, this AI that's out there.

Speaker 20 And, you know, it's fine to ignore when it doesn't really affect you.

Speaker 2 But I don't know if you've caught on to this robot umpire situation that's going on now in minor league baseball, and they're trying to bring up to major league baseball.

Speaker 20 How do we feel about that? Because I feel like they're trying to come and take your jobs.

Speaker 27 And I like you, a classic guy.

Speaker 25 I like the human element of the game.

Speaker 20 So I'm worried about these robot umpires.

Speaker 36 Yeah, I don't think that's ever going to fully replace umpires.

Speaker 36 That's part. Umpiring is part of the game.

Speaker 36 Good calls, bad calls. They're still all part of the game.
The reviews that they do now, I mean, the technology is

Speaker 36 pretty good, but you'll still need umpires.

Speaker 36 You'll still need to be able to have umpires out there, even though the technology, well, even this video of me getting hit,

Speaker 36 that's subject to the new technology that they have on

Speaker 36 the bat stops now. So, but I think their technology is there.
It's going to be there to help. I don't think it's going to be there to replace the umpires.

Speaker 27 I mean, it's part of the game, I think, right?

Speaker 2 Imagine a robot getting hit in the twig and berries, not nearly as funny.

Speaker 25 Obviously, it's only funny because you're okay, but I mean, it'd be a disservice, I think, to have missing.

Speaker 2 Let me ask you something as an umpire: How's your hook?

Speaker 20 Do you have a quick hook? Do you have a long hook? Like,

Speaker 20 what's the word that

Speaker 20 a parent or a coach or a kid has to say that Joe says, you know what, buddy, now you gone too far.

Speaker 16 You're out of here.

Speaker 36 It depends. My hook, depending if it's a tournament and a tight game, believe me,

Speaker 36 like if it's a tournament,

Speaker 36 the coaches and the

Speaker 17 S word, is that an automatic hook? The S word?

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 20 The F word, automatic hook.

Speaker 36 Yeah, C-word, automatic hook.

Speaker 14 Oh, yeah. All right, good.

Speaker 36 Yeah,

Speaker 36 the other thing, too, is like a lot of times, coaches will complain about the

Speaker 36 balls and stuff. They'll mumble a little bit in a tight game.
And you let that go in a tight game. Everyone's trying to get an edge.

Speaker 19 I got an idea here joe all right you're gonna be the umpire now i'm a parent okay so just tell me i'm gonna say something you tell me lying what do you do yeah yeah stop us when we get there hey hey blue get your head out of your ass no too far a word that's gone out of here a word all right kids all right joe joe stop me when i hit the line darn it

Speaker 36 no that's good dang it that's still good dang nab it

Speaker 10 that's still good god damn it you ump

Speaker 36 that's not good

Speaker 10 what's your get out of here give us a your get out of here what's that like What is the ejection? What does it look like?

Speaker 36 The ejection? You just you point at them, you turn away, put your hand out, you're out of here. Gone.

Speaker 18 They're gone.

Speaker 10 Chris, you want to give him your third strike call?

Speaker 10 Let's see if we can get a grade from Joe on.

Speaker 19 Strike one and two.

Speaker 10 Go ahead and do the whole thing, but let's get his assessment. We would like a grade from Joe on Joe.

Speaker 2 I put two or three years in when I was in my teens.

Speaker 11 Here we go. Strike one and two are the same.

Speaker 35 So I'll give you just ha.

Speaker 7 Oh,

Speaker 19 pretty good. So that's one and two.

Speaker 11 That's one and two. And then, you know, the big dog here.

Speaker 36 Oh, wow. That's good, Chris.
Thank you.

Speaker 19 That's good.

Speaker 31 That's good, he said.

Speaker 10 Nice. A, B plus, A minus, B minus.

Speaker 36 All right.

Speaker 10 Congratulations, Chris. We're going to play these for you here.

Speaker 10 You, based on just sound, tell us whether this was the first time you got hit in the balls, the second time you got hit in the balls, or the third time you got hit in the balls.

Speaker 36 Okay.

Speaker 36 That last one was the third time.

Speaker 19 No. Here you go.
I'm going to play it here.

Speaker 13 I'm going to play it a little louder for you. Here it comes.
Here it goes.

Speaker 36 I think that was the, that was, I believe, the second time. Oh, no.

Speaker 19 Yes, that's good.

Speaker 10 He's got a good awareness here. Let's play another one for him.
See if it's the first one or the third one.

Speaker 36 That I, if I'm not mistaken, that's the first one.

Speaker 11 You're wrong, Joe. That's the third one.

Speaker 10 Oh, that's the worst of them. I'm sorry to say that.
Yeah, that's when you hit the ground, but you can be permitted. You were in a state of disorientation and nausea.

Speaker 31 And now, guess what, Joe?

Speaker 10 You're out of here. Yes, you're out of here.
Good seeing you, Joe. Thank you for being on with us.
Real quick, before you go, did the umps steal the Padre season yesterday?

Speaker 36 No, I don't think so. I don't think so.
You can't blame it on the... I don't think you can.
Well, you can try to blame it on the umps.

Speaker 9 Out of here, Blue! You're out of here!

Speaker 28 Hey, Jeremy, old buddy, old pal. Hey, Mike.
I want to talk to you about Miller Light. You and I have bonded over these last few weeks talking about our shared love of Miller Light.

Speaker 4 That's right.

Speaker 28 A great partner of our show for practically its entire existence.

Speaker 17 It's been a partner of this show since I was 10 years old.

Speaker 28 And it's been around for 50 years, and they've been a part of our show for almost 20. We're approaching incredible partner status with Miller Light.

Speaker 24 I mean, to think that people were celebrating at my bar mitzvah with Miller Light as they were a partner of this show is pretty incredible.

Speaker 28 You're talking about the moments that are made better by making those times, those special times, Miller time. Jeremy, there's nothing like cracking open Miller Light with your crew.

Speaker 28 This football season, it's especially true.

Speaker 28 Whether it's a touchdown you didn't see coming, or just arguing about fantasy lineups you already know you're going to lose, Miller Light has been the taste you can depend on for 50 years, brewed for flavor with simple ingredients, rich toffy notes, that iconic golden color.

Speaker 28 And here's a kicker, Jeremy. What's that? It's just 96 calories.

Speaker 30 I still can't believe that. We say it every week.
I can't believe it.

Speaker 28 It's just 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. It's the original light beer since 1975 and still hitting different five decades later.
Miller Light, great taste, 96 calories.

Speaker 28 Go to millerlight.com/slash Dan to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Light pretty much anywhere. They sell beer.
It's Miller time. Celebrate responsibly.

Speaker 28 Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.
