Speaker 15 Roy, can you find me whatever sound we have back there that makes fun of the Yankees? Just anything from the files that we have of things that have made fun of the Yankees over the last 20 years?

Speaker 21 What do you have there?

Speaker 22 Now the 3-2 swung on a pop foul, back here.

Speaker 23 Ow!

Speaker 13 Ow!

Speaker 13 Ow!

Speaker 24 Keep that, that'll work.

Speaker 25 It really hit me. I didn't know it was coming back that far.

Speaker 15 Just keep the ow, ow, ow parts of that and cut out all the other fats. Ow!

Speaker 13 Yeah,

Speaker 13 kind of like it hit me.

Speaker 19 Nope, ow.

Speaker 20 More of it.

Speaker 20 It hit me.

Speaker 27 Let me hear the whole thing, just all of it.

Speaker 22 Now the three chews swung on, a pop, foul, back here.

Speaker 23 Ow!

Speaker 23 Ow!

Speaker 23 Ow!

Speaker 25 It really hit me. I didn't know it was coming back that far.

Speaker 15 I think it's better as just three hours and then ambient noise. Motion.

Speaker 29 Tire sound, please.

Speaker 23 Ow.

Speaker 15 Let me hear what other sound you have to make fun of the Yankees today. Roger Clemens is in George's box, and Roger Clemens is coming back.

Speaker 18 Oh, my goodness gracious.

Speaker 15 Of all the dramatic things I've ever seen, Roger Clemmens standing right in George Steybreter's box, announcing he is back. Roger Plutmans is a New York Yankee.

Speaker 30 Kind of an overreaction, no?

Speaker 15 I think it's the last great moment the Yankees have had.

Speaker 26 Goodness gracious.

Speaker 13 We won a World Series after that.

Speaker 27 Goodness gracious. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 15 Because my timelines have...

Speaker 20 Hold on.

Speaker 13 Hold on.

Speaker 15 Give me the number, the names of the teams that have won a World Series more recently than the Yankees.

Speaker 15 The Cubs and the Red Sox.

Speaker 1 The Royals?

Speaker 15 The Nationals?

Speaker 15 The Nationals.

Speaker 31 Goodness gracious. Giants, maybe more than once.

Speaker 19 Rangers.

Speaker 15 The Rangers. Wow.

Speaker 32 Giants three times.

Speaker 26 Goodness gracious.

Speaker 15 Happy New York Sufferers Today, Day. Billy ran in today, though, and this is super rare for Billy, where I can hear the smile in his voice, and he's just talking about white Corvettes.

Speaker 13 Goodness gracious.

Speaker 15 What are you up to?

Speaker 7 I'm up to nothing, but I'm prepared to maybe have to be involved in some nonsense, which, you know, sometimes I'm down for some nonsense. So we talked about this yesterday.

Speaker 7 Greg was complaining that he got a Corvette for his birthday, a white Corvette. He didn't like a white Corvette.

Speaker 7 And then you made a bet with Nick Wright for $5,000 over a game that I don't think either of you really care all that much about, which is like weird. But I enrich people's stuff.

Speaker 7 You're just betting $5,000. Like, it's not.

Speaker 28 Yeah, like that.

Speaker 7 It was strange. And then he said that he bought his dad an old car that was not white.
It was C phone green,

Speaker 7 if I remember correctly. And then we somehow found a 1993 Chevy Corvette that was for sale for under $5,000.
So we decided, unbeknownst to Nick Wright, to possibly change the stakes of this bet.

Speaker 7 So he may think that he's going to be owed $5,000, but may in fact receive a 1993 Chevy Corvette that needs a transmission.

Speaker 7 So then we're trying to figure out how do we get this Corvette to him if he loses and what does he do with said car with if he wins if he wins under a hundred grand 100k miles by the way that's good

Speaker 33 no transactions who needs a transaction

Speaker 21 exactly right yeah that's one of those things there's a man or woman mission thank you how

Speaker 2 you were great yesterday by the way thank you

Speaker 18 did you hear the news dan start spreading it how

Speaker 18 face off now the time is here

Speaker 18 Pixel up and you're changing on the fly.

Speaker 18 Hitchhikers, hip tricks, you're gonna make a cheer.

Speaker 18 Got the bombs turned to turbine riding high.

Speaker 18 Now it's time for action tonight. It's gonna burn this barn right up.

Speaker 18 Slapshot will light the lamp so nice.

Speaker 18 Let's go for a break away on the chase

Speaker 18 We'll be standing on our heads till we need a match center ice

Speaker 18 Hockey is backtrack

Speaker 18 Hockey is backtrack

Speaker 18 Hockey is backtrack Maybe it will be you at a center ice

Speaker 15 The Nationals winning a World Series more recently than the Yankees and the Cubs winning more recently, and the Red Sox winning more recently, and the Rangers, and the Royals winning more recently,

Speaker 15 while the GM is never in trouble, but the manager is in profound trouble,

Speaker 15 reminds me of what's happening or what's been happening in Florida with the Dolphins.

Speaker 27 Cashman is still there?

Speaker 13 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 15 He's got a lifetime job.

Speaker 35 That's right.

Speaker 15 Really? Yeah.

Speaker 19 For that franchise.

Speaker 21 That's right.

Speaker 31 When they haven't won a World Series since 09. That's

Speaker 36 really.

Speaker 23 How?

Speaker 15 The Yankees' failure

Speaker 15 when it was wide open for them. Schubal got hurt.

Speaker 15 And then the Blue Jays just became something that I legitimately have never seen before happen to the Yankees. And I think anyone in baseball.
The way the Blue Jays were hitting is crazy.

Speaker 15 The Yankee ERA of the starting pitchers was above 16, just as the starting pitchers.

Speaker 15 For the entire ALDS, the Yankees had an ERA of nine.

Speaker 15 But Aaron Judge will forever have his moment.

Speaker 36 He covered his guy.

Speaker 37 He had a big ad bat in that ninth inning.

Speaker 38 He handled his.

Speaker 7 They can't take that away from him ever. Game three of the 2000.

Speaker 7 25 ALDS. I mean, and I will say this to Jeremy's credit.

Speaker 7 We could have witnessed history if he hit a meaningless home run yesterday because here's the thing about Aaron Judge that's great: when your team is bad and it's, you know, you're always on the brink of elimination, every game becomes an elimination game.

Speaker 7 So everything that you do becomes more historic because you did it in an elimination game because you immediately are down and on the brink of elimination, which Derek Jeter, to my memory, was never eliminated from me.

Speaker 32 Keywords there is team stinks.

Speaker 7 I don't think Derek Jeter ever.

Speaker 24 No, he never lost. No.

Speaker 19 Not once.

Speaker 7 And he's great on TV, if we're going to be honest. Oh.

Speaker 15 Roy, would you get me again that moment on Fox?

Speaker 15 Because I don't think anything says 2025 more than Pedro Martinez, Alex Rodriguez, and Big Poppy just standing around trying to figure out how to say Schlittler.

Speaker 15 And then Big Poppy just says something that makes people who have been more scared of how things look than he is, because A-Rod and Jeter have more consequences about how things look than David Ortiz.

Speaker 15 So what you end up have happening on television, because Schlittler's the one who ends up trying yesterday to keep them in the game.

Speaker 15 He held down Toronto enough more than anybody else did for the Yankees. But this was the moment of that series.
Again, I want to give you the history.

Speaker 15 Derek Jeter doesn't want anything ever said or bad about him publicly. He has a pristine image.
A-Rod, you know how pristine he likes things to look. David Ortiz cares slightly less.

Speaker 30 Every single one of you pronounce his last name.

Speaker 7 You care first. Schler.

Speaker 39 Oh, well, he's the master.

Speaker 19 Schlittler.

Speaker 9 Schlittler.

Speaker 39 You now, now your turn.

Speaker 13 Tony, Hitler. Oh, my God.
Jesus.

Speaker 13 Incredible judgment for me. Let's go to a break, guys.

Speaker 21 I'm going Cam.

Speaker 15 My bad.

Speaker 15 I put Pedro there.

Speaker 13 Yeah.

Speaker 19 Drone network.

Speaker 10 You just had him in the side there.

Speaker 34 Come on.

Speaker 32 He's with Jimmy Rollins and Curtis Granderson.

Speaker 20 The Grandy Man.

Speaker 20 My bad.

Speaker 15 Aaron Judge did as much as he could have. Aaron Aaron Judge played well in that series.
Aaron Judge was hitting everything in that series.

Speaker 13 600, Dan.

Speaker 15 It's so funny.

Speaker 15 Toronto's eighth hitter. Is that Clement? Mm-hmm.

Speaker 15 How many hits did he have in that series?

Speaker 32 You ready for this one? So Trent Grisham of the Yankees went two for 17. Volpe went one for 15 with 11 strikeouts.
Ben Rice went two for 11 with five strikeouts. Jazz went two for 14.

Speaker 32 Cody Bellinger went three for 16. That means they were combined 10 for 73.
Clement had nine hits.

Speaker 15 Every time I saw that guy hitting, he was choked up on the bat, hitting a duck fart right in front of an outfielder.

Speaker 29 That's baseball.

Speaker 19 I like that.

Speaker 40 Choking up, duck fart.

Speaker 20 There we go.

Speaker 32 You could see the vibration off the end of the bat in that last one. It was amazing.

Speaker 15 The Yankees keep throwing these high-priced starters at him. They don't have Garrett Cole, and he just keeps going up there.

Speaker 15 And every time he was up there, I felt he was closer to holding the top of the bat than the bottom of the bat.

Speaker 15 And it's just like

Speaker 15 hit the ball 97 feet right over the second baseman's head, right over the shortstop's head, and then wait for Vladdy Guerrero to get back up so he can have his nine hits.

Speaker 32 That's what wins in the postseason, though. That's why the Yankees keep losing is because they're home runner bust, and you need guys that can actually have those duck farts to right center.

Speaker 32 Because in the modern game, there are so many teams that are so swing and miss. And when you get to the postseason,

Speaker 32 it's either Schwarber hits two home runs or you lose. It's Judge hits a bunch of home runs or you lose.

Speaker 38 And that's the spot the Yankees found themselves in yet again.

Speaker 15 Did you guys enjoy it? Billy, did you enjoy watching the Yankees lose or is that something that has now become cliché since 2009?

Speaker 7 Did I enjoy watching them lose?

Speaker 19 Yes.

Speaker 35 You sound like Pam Bondi repeating the question.

Speaker 13 I did enjoy watching them lose.

Speaker 7 Did I enjoy watching Clint and Kershaw fall apart?

Speaker 34 Easy. What is that supposed to mean? Shoehorned.

Speaker 2 Strawman.

Speaker 15 How much did you enjoy it?

Speaker 41 Kershaw or the Yankees?

Speaker 15 Well, I didn't even ask you about Kershaw. You went to Kershaw.

Speaker 15 I didn't care. I wasn't thinking about Kershaw.
I didn't ask you any. You were the first one to mention that Kershaw blew up.

Speaker 15 Most people were sleeping during that.

Speaker 37 I watched Kershaw coming out of the bullpen.

Speaker 42 He's a hoss now, huh?

Speaker 15 This was sad. It was sad to see him come out of the bullpen.

Speaker 28 The last time I watched him pitch, Dan, he was at least 40 pounds lighter.

Speaker 19 He is thicker.

Speaker 30 Aren't we all, though? That's fair enough.

Speaker 15 Put it on the poll at Lebatard show. Aren't we all thicker now?

Speaker 7 And to do it in front of his maybe hero, maybe not. Maybe we're just pretending hero, Sandy Kofast.

Speaker 13 Someone needs a memo from the War Department.

Speaker 15 Wasn't asking you about Kershaw or the Daniels.

Speaker 7 They let him finish that game.

Speaker 7 They would have let him give up 60 runs if he was going to give up 60 runs, right? He wasn't even on the roster the first round. So then they had him there.

Speaker 7 And that was honestly just a respect thing for Kershaw. I was like, okay, this is his last season.
We're going to send him back out there. We already lost this game.

Speaker 7 It doesn't matter if we win or lose. We're up 2-1.
Or we're up 2-0, I guess, against the Phils. He's going to get his moment.

Speaker 7 I mean, I'll tell you what. It was prime playoff Kershaw.
So the fans did get that if that's what they were looking for.

Speaker 15 Didn't ask you about Kershaw.

Speaker 7 Yeah,

Speaker 7 I didn't know if we knew we were going to get there or not, so I decided.

Speaker 29 The Yankees, though.

Speaker 23 I mean, cheese. Ow!

Speaker 7 They stink, huh? Yankees? And then they asked Aaron Boone, are you going to be back next year? And he's like, I'm under contract. Buddy, you're not going to be back.

Speaker 7 I hate to be the bearer of bad news here. It's not going to.
What is this fool doing that I see over here on the screen?

Speaker 15 It's Zaszlo joining us from Europe. I have been told by Roy that he is on delay, which doesn't bode well for wherever it is that we're headed now in terms of audio and video.

Speaker 15 Before we get to Zaszlo, though, can you just play the manager of the Blue Jays, Roy, John Schneider, making fun of the Yankees in his own clubhouse yesterday?

Speaker 15 because really, I have not seen a baseball team hit the way that Toronto hit in that series. They just clubbed and dragged the Yankees all over the place.
And so, John Schneider,

Speaker 15 the Blue Jays manager, and I would forgive Mike Ryan for thinking that Cito Gaston was still the Blue Jays manager either time, given that we just told him that Cashman is still the GM of the Yankees.

Speaker 15 But let's go ahead and play John Schneider making fun of the Yankees with one punctuation of sentence that just makes fun of Sinatra, makes fun of New York, New York, makes fun of the idea that you guys are winners.

Speaker 45 Every single one of you in Bullfen Game, Nathan Lucas, Miles Straw, all you that takes everybody every day. Start spreading the news, bitches.

Speaker 21 We're going!

Speaker 21 Bad dude, there was a mean idea.

Speaker 15 He never even got to spread the news. He wanted to tell us what the news on where it is that they were going, but they didn't let him spread the news because they spread champagne all over his face.

Speaker 15 Play again how they drown out their manager and whatever it is that he was going to say after making fun of Sinatra and New York, New York.

Speaker 45 Every single one of you bullpen game, Nathan Lucas, Miles Straw, all you that takes everybody every day. Start spreading the news.

Speaker 21 We're going

Speaker 15 to wait till they get a load of scoobel.

Speaker 9 The courtesy on this video is Ariel Hawani.

Speaker 8 Was he there?

Speaker 7 He's just there. Anything that happens, Canada, he's there.

Speaker 18 Just getting soaked and just like, oh, shh.

Speaker 46 Hey, it's Tony from the Dan Levitat show, and I got to tell you something that makes me feel a lot safer with my wife and kid at home.

Speaker 3 It's Simply Safe.

Speaker 46 Most security systems only react after a break-in. And that's too late, if you want to be honest.
Real security stops crime before it even starts.

Speaker 46 I just watched a video that was absolutely terrifying. An arson is trying to light a family home on fire.
And you know what? SimplySafe stopped it before anybody got hurt.

Speaker 46 Their AI-powered camera spotted the threat, alerted the monitoring agent, and the intruder got confronted while still outside the house.

Speaker 46 That's what I call real security, pre-security, not post-security. I trust SimplySafe with my home, my family, and everything I care about.
No hidden fees, no long-term contracts.

Speaker 46 And they've been named one of the best home security systems by U.S. News for five years running.

Speaker 49 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 50 That was a long story.

Speaker 20 Yeah, it's the only kind he tells.

Speaker 7 It's a short one for me. I tried to speed it up for you guys.

Speaker 1 You forgot about the Leagues Cup.

Speaker 49 Stugats.

Speaker 15 La Carreta is a place where the best of the celebrations has to be the 97 Marlin celebration because it was Levant.

Speaker 7 Well, when Fidel died the first time.

Speaker 49 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 15 What is going on with Zazzloville? Do you want to introduce him? I saw people complaining that he's now in the company Slack.

Speaker 15 I saw people complaining that as soon as his podcast shoots up the rankings, he does it the special metal arc way, takes a long vacation and just goes to Europe so that everything could die as soon as he leaves.

Speaker 15 What is happening over there, Zazzla? Where are you joining us from?

Speaker 51 I'm at Windsor Castle, my dogs. How are you guys? What's going on?

Speaker 20 What are you at? A Motorola Razor?

Speaker 19 What is that?

Speaker 51 I'm on a regular phone. Look at this.
I'm at a castle. There's a castle behind me.

Speaker 51 You know about that Windsor Castle?

Speaker 7 Nah, now that's a manner if i've ever seen one how is it possible

Speaker 7 how is it possible that zazzlo's reception is better than tony's when tony was like three stories ahead of us or above us like three days ago and there's no delay here with zaz it's a good question

Speaker 4 metal arc media useless comment by billy

Speaker 35 absolutely is there any other kind

Speaker 51 uh zaszlo what were you gonna say before billy interrupted you because you're calling us on delay oh it's just gonna be like you know have you ever been at a castle matter of fact if you look behind me here, you got one of those guards.

Speaker 51 You see that dude right there? Like he's guarding the castle. I think he was just doing a TikTok dance a few minutes ago, actually.
But I got one of those guards behind me.

Speaker 51 I'm just, I'm running this place, man. I was hoping to run to the king.
I didn't see him, though.

Speaker 51 I was going to pull like a Black Panther move where I was going to be like, yo, you know, this is your king. But that fool was scared.
He wasn't anywhere to be found.

Speaker 15 Why weren't you here for the Panthers raising another banner, giving out their rings? Why are you about as geographically far away from your team as

Speaker 15 you? you

Speaker 18 can be?

Speaker 51 Dan, let me break something to you here. All right.
Wives, they love money. Oh, for the life.

Speaker 51 And when you get the money, which I'm getting now, when you get the money, which I'm getting now, you know what they want to do with it, Dan? They want to spend it.

Speaker 51 And one of the things they like to do is travel. So here we are.
I'm in London.

Speaker 15 Why are you in the Slack and why are people complaining that you're in the Slack? What is the story? Complaining?

Speaker 51 What are you talking about? Complaining? I'm up in the ante.

Speaker 28 I love that Zaz is in the Slack because he is doing it as pure Zaz. I don't think he understands what the video dump is for.
I think he

Speaker 51 understands.

Speaker 42 You're just making it a vacation album, but I like it. Look, like he sent this and with a caption of you know about that Stonehenge?

Speaker 13 He's seeing the world on Yetal Arts Money.

Speaker 24 One time he saw a statue of like some English like figure and he was like I know that fool.

Speaker 18 I don't know that fool was a caption.

Speaker 43 Yeah, so he lives a gimmick Dan.

Speaker 42 Oh wow. Surprisingly, we can confirm it's an iPhone and not a

Speaker 18 Motorola razor.

Speaker 40 I hope to say that word.

Speaker 15 Are you guys just telling me that Metalark is providing Zaz for the first time with culture in his life? You haven't been to any of these places before?

Speaker 15 You basically haven't been outside of Pembroke Pines, right?

Speaker 51 First of all, I didn't know that the video dump is not my vacation scrapbook. No one, like, I got to plead ignorance on that one.
Was that wrong? You know, I don't know.

Speaker 51 But I haven't been out of Cooper City in many, many years. I had to update my passport.

Speaker 15 I haven't been to Europe in 25 years but i'm here now i run this place now spreading the word look i'm even wearing my levatard show gear look check it out you guys realize that uh that he uh is climbing the ranks at uh college football at espn and just recently like bought things other than the junk that's in his closet so that when he travels to wisconsin he's not doing so in an in a 2006 uh miami heat uh t-shirt do underco undercover cops look like that in europe as well?

Speaker 15 You do look like a very bad undercover cop, like 21 jump streets spin-off.

Speaker 15 Like

Speaker 15 you're dressed like a high school.

Speaker 51 Whatever, man. Whatever, man.
Hang with him. I don't know what to tell you.

Speaker 42 That looks like someone that would tweet at me.

Speaker 28 He doesn't know who Bad Bunny is.

Speaker 15 I like Bad Bunny. Thank you for joining us.
Anything else you're going to put in the Slack?

Speaker 15 Where else are your travels taking you? Yeah. When are you back?

Speaker 51 I'm going to put a lot more things in the slack i got some great pictures of buckingham palace uh i met up with joy taylor out here yesterday i might throw up some pictures of me and her which is in the slack uh

Speaker 51 hey that's my gimmick

Speaker 15 buddy you better come back here and take back your gimmicks you can't just leave on vacation as soon as you get hot that's not the way that works it does around here but no other media entity is that the way it works you know what happens the listeners they want me more they're like where are you zaslow where are you and And then when I come back, I'm going to come back to a king's welcome.

Speaker 51 That's exactly what's going to happen.

Speaker 51 This is a good plan by me. I know what I'm doing, Dan.

Speaker 15 Okay.

Speaker 15 Thank you for joining us from Stonehedge and from a castle. We appreciate your worldly travels.
Come back and tell us about it.

Speaker 51 By the way, I'm five hours ahead of you. Dan, do you understand how time zones work? Yeah, generally.

Speaker 51 Okay. All right.
Just make a choice.

Speaker 7 Who wins game four tonight? Phillies or Dodgers? You already know the results.

Speaker 51 Oh, you want the spoiler? Yeah, spoiler. Phillies forced to game five.
You love it. It's great game.
Great game. Philly's forced game five.

Speaker 34 Yep.

Speaker 24 Thank you.

Speaker 51 Don't tell anyone I told you. It's kind of breaking the rules on time travel.
All right. I'll see you guys later.

Speaker 32 Just going to make it clear. He's still four hours from watching that game.

Speaker 15 Thank you. It's an important correction.

Speaker 15 He just wanted to make from Europe a Lord's time zone joke because the further inside you go on the jokes, the more about him he can make it, which makes him fit right in around here.

Speaker 15 One of the things that I most enjoyed about yesterday's Yankee game is the bases getting loaded in the bottom of the eighth and hope rising up.

Speaker 41 It lasted for one pitch, that hope.

Speaker 35 That's what I liked.

Speaker 15 It's the bottom of the eighth, and now we got to watch in the ninth sort of

Speaker 15 mill out of the ballpark in the ninth inning because you know your season's over because you had one pitch of hope.

Speaker 15 You were just trying to get everything back to Judge, the only one on your team that can hit. And you needed to load the bases in the bottom of the bottom of the eighth.

Speaker 15 And then your season goes to die because there's no way for him to hit a seven-run home run in the ninth.

Speaker 32 And there's also not a fan base in the world that thinks every fly ball is going out of their ballpark more than the Yankees because their short porch and right, they just kind of think every time the ball is hitting the air, it's going to be a homer.

Speaker 50 So you could hear on the fly ball for just a half a second the

Speaker 15 it was fun to hear hope die at the feet of the Toronto Blue Jays, who might again win a World Series before the Yankees. The Mariners might win a World Series before the Yankees.

Speaker 15 The Brewers might win a World Series before the Yankees. Tigers.

Speaker 15 The Tigers might win a World Series before the Yankees. I would imagine the Mariners are scared right now.

Speaker 15 I would imagine you would have to be if you have the chance of facing Schubel and he's going to strike out 14 of you. You got to go the very hardest of ways to to get to the next round.

Speaker 53 GK's got to muster up something special.

Speaker 44 That's right.

Speaker 54 George Kirby on the mound towing the rubber for the M's.

Speaker 53 If I could have one guy going against that guy, it's GK.

Speaker 15 What is it that you guys expect when you put these pressure of expectations on people where Aaron Judge isn't doing enough, even though he's doing everything because baseball is obviously a team sport until you give the ball to Schoogle?

Speaker 15 Because the pitchers, you give them the ball. And this is the reason that you have Scoobel.
You have Scoobel to win this game.

Speaker 15 It's the reason that you're asking your Cy Young pitcher to just take away from Seattle a season's worth of momentum.

Speaker 15 The best Seattle season that we've had since they had Griffey and Randy Johnson and A-Rod on their team.

Speaker 15 I'll throw Pedro in there because whenever A-Rod's around, I just throw Pedro in there, even though Pedro Martinez didn't pitch for that.

Speaker 19 You're starting to get it.

Speaker 19 It would have been real good with Randy Johnson or Pedro Dan.

Speaker 15 You guys didn't seem to enjoy this as much as I did. I do this very rarely where I enjoy watching people lose.
I didn't do that.

Speaker 15 I didn't make Floyd Mayweather one of the richest people in the history of sports because I was rooting for him to lose. I did this some with Sabin and I always lost.

Speaker 15 I would tune into Alabama and then they would just run the sport forever.

Speaker 15 But the Yankees, I tune in all season for that bottom of the eighth yesterday, for that swing, for the bases are loaded, for oh, you dared to hope, and now you realize realize it's all gone how quickly can you get to the subway it's a fascinating thing that happened to your fandom because you grew up being a Yankee guy and now you root for them to lose it's really a testament to how awful New York is how awful New Yorkers in Miami are it's not it's a special breed New York

Speaker 15 you guys seem to enjoy it up there well actually not really because they fly down here but it's it's made Dan have a miserable experience with New York sports I wouldn't say that it's miserable like I would say that it's just just grown from we only had the Yankees here in spring training once upon a time with the Dolphins, and it's the only major league team that we had down here, only major league sport that we had, and we only had it during spring training, and then we got all the other sports.

Speaker 15 And so I did what my Yankees, what my fan, my parents did rather. My parents grew up Mets fans.
I've told you the happiest I've ever seen my father, happiest I've ever seen him.

Speaker 15 1986, the ball rolls through Buckner's legs. He dances around the living room in tidy whiteys that are above his navel.

Speaker 15 I remember my father dancing like that because I've never, my father doesn't really show joy that way. I also remember those underwear above the navel.
Old man Aweelo style.

Speaker 15 Do you all have a father or an Ahuelo who wears the tidy whiteys that you remember from childhood over the navel or is that just me? Was that just my

Speaker 46 grandfather did the cloth boxers like the ones you get in prison they're like very long and clothy so he didn't go tidy whiteys but he had like long like they were up here like you said past the navel but like cloth boxers so they're like past his knees but also past his navel at the same time billy nothing like this in your family history of somebody

Speaker 15 my parents were usually dressed so i don't really know their underwear situation to be honest well i look i've told you my father is somewhere on the asperger scale uh he did this i was in my late 40s you donnis haslam and the heat are on the road in a playoff game against Chicago, I think.

Speaker 15 He is so scared. I'm in his living room.
I don't have an explanation for you on this. I don't think that this is normal in fandom in any way.
I'm there with my girlfriend.

Speaker 15 My brother is there with his girlfriend in the living room. My father is so scared by what's happening at the end of that heat game that he just takes his slacks off.
He's standing in the living room.

Speaker 20 Yeah, it's strange behavior, Pal.

Speaker 55 His house, though, his rules. It is his house.

Speaker 47 His house has rules.

Speaker 4 That's exactly what he's like if we were at your house and then you did it i'd be like oh dan's house his rules yeah i mean i think i identified there was this one time where triple h was beating somebody up and he forgot he wasn't already wearing a shirt and he pantomimed taking off his shirt so it's probably something similar

Speaker 15 So I guess you guys, I'm the only one. I thought my childhood was the normal one

Speaker 15 with an auelo in the tidy whiteys. I guess not.

Speaker 7 So they were Mets fans and Yankees fans?

Speaker 15 No, so this is what happened because Kids Rebell.

Speaker 15 They're Mets fans and then they became Marlins fans because the Marlins came to town and their son was writing about the Marlins players and grandma likes Chuck Carr and all of a sudden

Speaker 15 the allegiances.

Speaker 15 Wait a minute. Yeah? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 13 Rest in power.

Speaker 21 I did not know that.

Speaker 7 Yeah, a couple years ago. A couple years ago.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it was sad. We talked about it.

Speaker 20 I think. I did not know that.

Speaker 7 Send flowers to the late Carr family.

Speaker 7 It'd be ill-timed.

Speaker 54 Like, oh, we just heard about Chuck six years later. Sorry about that.

Speaker 15 Let's send that car to Nick Wright instead.

Speaker 7 Ooh, what if we send the Carr family a 1993 Corvette with no transmission?

Speaker 7 Chuck would have liked this. Chuck would have liked that.

Speaker 20 Chuck maybe had a Corvette.

Speaker 20 To him.

Speaker 20 I don't care.

Speaker 15 Good luck. Mike Ryan's birthday today.

Speaker 42 I thought that was for Chuck Carr person.

Speaker 19 Like, what?

Speaker 42 I was like, wow, what an honor to share a birthday with the great Chucky Carr.

Speaker 4 Whether you're hanging out with your dear friend Rose or at game day, it just hits different when you got a Miller Light in your hand.

Speaker 11 From jaw-dropping touchdowns to fantasy heartbreaks, it's a beer that has been there for every moment.

Speaker 11 50 years of great taste, simple ingredients, and that iconic golden color that you can spot across the room.

Speaker 10 And it's just not the color of the beer, which is brilliant. That beautiful white can.

Speaker 29 How beautiful is that?

Speaker 54 Is that you doing the sound of a can opening?

Speaker 56 Is that your favorite sound?

Speaker 60 Oh, no. It is a horsey.

Speaker 26 A horsey?

Speaker 14 All right, we'll stop doing that.

Speaker 10 And here's a kicker.

Speaker 28 Miller Light is just 96 calories, 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.

Speaker 56 The original light beer since 1975.

Speaker 21 That's right.

Speaker 60 And still hitting different five decades later.

Speaker 24 You're so good at this, Rose. I know.

Speaker 28 So whatever your game day looks like, remember, Miller time is always a good time.

Speaker 38 Look at us.

Speaker 14 We're a great tag team. I'm five again.

Speaker 24 Can you do that beer sound one more time?

Speaker 21 And the horse sound one more time?

Speaker 33 I regret asking you about that one, but the Miller Light sound is good.

Speaker 10 Miller Light, great taste, 96 calories.

Speaker 8 Go to MillerLight.com slash Shannon to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Light pretty much anywhere they sell beer.

Speaker 26 I'm sess.

Speaker 31 No, it says.

Speaker 26 Oh, ses.

Speaker 49 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 19 That's not my favorite region.

Speaker 34 Context needs to be applied. Going for a joke.

Speaker 29 I thought that context was applied.

Speaker 53 We'd like to rip that out of context.

Speaker 19 I was going for a thing. Yeah.

Speaker 20 And

Speaker 20 I have a family?

Speaker 15 You're going to pretend here that you don't love Matthew Kachuck more than you love anybody you've ever loved?

Speaker 44 I don't love Matthew Kachuk more than my daughter.

Speaker 49 Stugats.

Speaker 19 Now it's pretty damn close.

Speaker 49 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 15 Congratulations on your birthday. Is this a big one? How old are you? I'm 40 today.
Oh, it is a big one. Did we decide then which are the big ones?

Speaker 15 Because Michelle Beadle was on with us on Friday, and I thought 50.

Speaker 15 So you got 16 you got 18 you got 21 you got 50 you got 100.

Speaker 55 40's not as big as 50 is it 40 seems pretty big 40 40's a new 30 though so how do you do that math well then 30 is big

Speaker 28 what are you doing are you doing anything special for your birthday or are you at dinner tonight and uh this weekend i'll be at las rosas i have a dj set late night uh great punk band from portland coming over portland

Speaker 2 yeah have you seen that dan i know i've been late but damn inflatable chickens everywhere uh is are birthdays still happy once you reach a certain age?

Speaker 15 Because you just said, I'm going to dinner. You said it wasn't quite.

Speaker 43 Yeah, no, I got a big thing on Saturday at Las Rosas.

Speaker 24 Gonna be celebrating with friends, open to the public.

Speaker 53 Come watch me spin. Lots of train drops at Jupiter.

Speaker 15 Why is everyone just staring at you as if

Speaker 19 you were speaking a different language?

Speaker 7 Number 250 on that list yesterday.

Speaker 29 I bet you that list was reverse order.

Speaker 7 That list was awful.

Speaker 15 Well, explain to me what you guys did here because I don't understand what you guys did. This is what happens to me, okay?

Speaker 15 And I don't, maybe you guys are producing the show differently than you used to. With no context whatsoever, no one informing me of anything.
I get handed a list, okay,

Speaker 15 of many, many different papers that is just, and nobody has said anything to me.

Speaker 15 I'm walking in to do the show that's in my head, and someone hands me several pieces of paper that are 250 songs listed in order, ranked in order, 250 of them.

Speaker 15 And Ethan, who's got an opinion about everything,

Speaker 15 tells me that runaway is

Speaker 15 very low on the list here, that runaway deserves to be very high on the list.

Speaker 15 But no one's discussed anything with me about why I'm being handed this, why we're doing this, and why Ethan's giving me an opinion.

Speaker 15 Now, before we get here, hold on a second, because I know you guys are desperate to talk as if I don't know that sometimes you guys just trick me, you're usually more subtle than this, to talk about the things that you want to talk about by not just merely handing me something that I don't necessarily want to talk about.

Speaker 15 But Ethan's opinions right before this was yelling at everybody why it is that Gainesville is not as terrible as Oxford.

Speaker 41 Yeah.

Speaker 42 I mean, we can agree.

Speaker 37 Having, no one here has been to Oxford, right?

Speaker 52 No.

Speaker 36 Safe to assume. Yeah, Ethan's sucks.

Speaker 19 Bad town.

Speaker 13 Yeah.

Speaker 15 Ethan sucks. Is that what you said, Billy?

Speaker 7 Well, we can agree. I thought that's where Mike was headed.

Speaker 24 No, it wasn't where I was headed, but I mean, you're entitled to your opinion.

Speaker 31 Ethan's, you know,

Speaker 31 he's fine.

Speaker 11 He's a good a good kid. Chatty.
Chatty.

Speaker 49 A little chatty.

Speaker 20 Definitely.

Speaker 1 Yes, definitely. A lot of chatty.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 24 But, man, like, what we did was, and

Speaker 26 I'm being told.

Speaker 13 That's true.

Speaker 19 What?

Speaker 43 I'm being told that they get into it quite a bit on mystery, great, so that is appointment listening for me.

Speaker 30 What we did was the same thing that we've done for 20 years. Hand you a paper.

Speaker 29 Here's a list.

Speaker 50 List radio is a great fallback.

Speaker 28 You are lucky to have such a great team around you.

Speaker 30 And I mean, there were already two Kanye songs on that list.

Speaker 16 Are we going to put a runaway in there? I don't know. Probably not.

Speaker 32 Also, I'll clarify, we don't get into how chatty Ethan is. We get into this list of songs because that's what you want to listen to, not Chatty Ethan.

Speaker 15 I don't want to do a list of 250 songs that has no context that we were not talking about at all.

Speaker 15 I do want to talk about Gainesville and Oxford because the conversation that Mike and Ethan were having, I wanted on air, but unfortunately, many of our good conversations happen off. air.

Speaker 15 I wanted it on air without Ethan's involvement, which was Mike just telling Ethan again and again, no, no, you guys really need to keep Billy Napier. He does this thing

Speaker 15 where you get stronger during the season and you should keep him forever.

Speaker 1 He should fight for that coach.

Speaker 20 They love that coach.

Speaker 15 That they play so hard for Billy Napier. Billy Napier has to stay in Gamesville, should be given a lifetime contract.
He should.

Speaker 28 I mean, you don't see teams fight for an embattled coach, and they've shown this year over year.

Speaker 36 They love their head coach.

Speaker 24 You see that spread at College Station?

Speaker 36 Very difficult place.

Speaker 53 And out of all the college environments that I've been to, traveling to as a University of Miami fan, that's the nuttiest place.

Speaker 10 College station is genuinely intimidating.

Speaker 27 The swamp, nothing.

Speaker 7 Doke, nothing.

Speaker 58 Honestly, not a big deal.

Speaker 36 College station, you feel that place.

Speaker 31 Only a seven and a half point spread.

Speaker 37 You know what that tells me?

Speaker 36 Even the bookkeepers know.

Speaker 1 They love that coach.

Speaker 15 He's a good coach.

Speaker 50 In today's modern age of crazy football, they already have the collective thing nailed down.

Speaker 11 You got the coach that they fight for. You got to keep Billy Napier.

Speaker 10 They're going to save his job again.

Speaker 29 I hope so.

Speaker 11 God, I hope so.

Speaker 15 We were talking yesterday about

Speaker 15 an assortment of college football things and what we never got to. I erred in not getting to two things yesterday.

Speaker 15 One is Odell Beckham secretly getting suspended for six games based on a Dolphins career. Get me the stats, please, for the Dolphins career.

Speaker 15 Because I remember having the conversation with me and I'm like, he seems like he'd be useful in this offense. He seems like someone who would be good for the Dolphins as a third receiver,

Speaker 15 given just who Odell Beckham is. But his stats were truly dreadful while he was here.
And then I learned while he's out of the league entirely,

Speaker 15 he's on the pivot podcast. He's saying, yeah, I'm suspended for six games as I make my comeback.

Speaker 32 Nine games, nine catches, 55 yards.

Speaker 23 Ow!

Speaker 15 Nine catches, 55 yards for a receiver that upon his arrival, we were arguing, did he just make the greatest catch we've ever seen? And he's one of the greatest receivers we've ever seen.

Speaker 44 Really strange career for Odell Beckham. Greatest catch ever.

Speaker 56 I think consensus, right?

Speaker 8 Greatest catch ever.

Speaker 28 Unbelievable catch.

Speaker 42 Was a superstar in New York.

Speaker 28 Goes to Cleveland. Really disappointing tenure there.
Everything around that franchise around that time was really, really odd.

Speaker 37 Then arguably would have been MVP of the Super Bowl had he not torn his ACL in that game.

Speaker 42 And then

Speaker 28 a six-game suspension at at the end of his career where he's no longer going to play ever again. It's like finding out who the Zodiac killer is now.

Speaker 1 Like, all right, congrats, whoopee.

Speaker 15 Give me a second here. Jeremy, can you get me the stats of Odell Beckham in that Super Bowl before he got injured?

Speaker 15 Because I think in that first quarter, he might have had a better first quarter than he had his entire Dolphin career. I'm not even kidding.

Speaker 15 It wasn't nine catches, but I think it might have been more than 50 yards.

Speaker 28 Not nine catches, but certainly over the yards.

Speaker 15 He was going to have, he was going to have a 15-catch game because their game plan was meant to stop people other than Odell Beckham.

Speaker 32 He had two catches for 52 yards and a touchdown, as opposed to his nine catches for 55 yards and no touchdowns as a Dolphin.

Speaker 15 How many? So he played a quarter in that Super Bowl, correct? He got hurt in the first quarter and it basically ended his career.

Speaker 15 That getting hurt in the Super Bowl, it would have been a great comeback story to go to Super Bowl MVP as soon as you get out of New York. It kind of was.

Speaker 53 It was weird, like, because everyone recognized what they were watching on that field that, oh, it was the Browns that were the problem.

Speaker 58 At the time, people were saying, oh, it was Baker that was the problem.

Speaker 44 And I guess the Rams just have a secret sauce.

Speaker 15 Another point that I didn't get to make yesterday before we get to these 250 songs and the whatever Ethan thinks about number 233.

Speaker 15 We were talking about Jonathan Gannon, and everyone here was like, $100,000 is a lot of money. That's a good penalty for putting your hands on an employee who already feels bad enough.

Speaker 15 And I didn't mention at any point, but Jerry Jones got a quarter million for inadvertently using the middle finger.

Speaker 15 So the fine there is worth two and a half, like the fine for power there over a middle finger is two and a half times as much as Jonathan Gannon putting his hands on an employee.

Speaker 15 Now we're not penalizing the crime. We're penalizing the position, correct? We're penalizing, we're not even penalizing the act.

Speaker 15 We're just penalizing how much money do you have and by percentage, how much of it can we take. It's not about how bad the act is.

Speaker 28 I'll look it up, but I'm assuming that there are certain rules, certain fines that they can't go beyond.

Speaker 28 It's like in hockey, there's like strange $50,000 fines where it's like, that's the maximum allowed. Owners are subject to a different fine structure, I think.

Speaker 15 I would think coaches are too, though.

Speaker 19 I would think that...

Speaker 7 But one involved fans also, and the other was a player.

Speaker 15 But which do you think is worse?

Speaker 15 If I just tell you, which is the worst act, a coach putting his hands on a player or Jerry Jones saying that inadvertently, because he's 80 years old, he gave a middle finger that he didn't mean to give.

Speaker 26 Inadvertent, one of these.

Speaker 20 There you go.

Speaker 21 Whoa, where'd that come from? My bad, I can't control my hands.

Speaker 15 Put it on the poll at Levantard show, Juju. Have you ever given an inadvertent middle finger to somebody? Because Jerry Jones's explanation really was it was an accident.

Speaker 15 But when I put those things in front of you guys and I say one $250,000 fine for an accidental middle finger from an owner, and there is precedent here, Bud Adams, we mentioned here in an old light blue vinyl suit, went middle fingers with kickstands, we said, right?

Speaker 15 They had kickstands. It wasn't just two middle fingers shot up.
He was using the index finger and the ring finger. He was using them as wings.

Speaker 7 That happened in 2009. He was also fined $250,000 for conduct detrimental to the league.

Speaker 15 So that's the standard middle finger fine for a rich guy?

Speaker 7 Now, he did two, I think. So I think Jerry could come out and say, I should have only been fined $125,000.

Speaker 15 I think what Mike is saying about fines being maximums, I thought that stuff had to be collectively bargained.

Speaker 15 I thought with owners and coaches, because they don't collectively bargain as a union, that you can fine them whatever it is that they should be fined for behavior.

Speaker 44 I did find a larger owner fine for David Tepper. He got fined $300,000 for throwing a drink at fans.

Speaker 32 Belichick got $500,000 for Spygate. And Bruce Arians, which we talked about yesterday, same sort of thing, physical altercation, he got 50,000.

Speaker 7 So

Speaker 32 I guess the difference in the optics.

Speaker 29 He got off light. Yeah.

Speaker 15 So, what do you guys do with that? Do you care?

Speaker 15 And does any of it matter?

Speaker 15 We're really just finding people. How much money do you actually have? I know they'll say it's about the position of power.

Speaker 15 We're going to hold these people to a higher standard, but it can't be argued that what Jerry Jones did was worse than what Jonathan Gannon did.

Speaker 27 No, I don't think

Speaker 28 it's ownership precedent.

Speaker 4 I think it's a different thing entirely.

Speaker 31 Yeah, but the Jonathan Gannon one was like, it was a rare time where I'm like, that fine seems fair.

Speaker 44 I'm good.

Speaker 7 Also, Jonathan Gannon was fined by the Arizona Cardinals, not the NFL. So they decided their own fine for him.

Speaker 46 When the Falcon situation happened with Shadur Sanders, where Jeff Ulbrick's kid called Shadur Sanders and faked the thing, he got 100K too.

Speaker 3 So it's like

Speaker 46 hitting a player or calling somebody on a prank, your kid doing it.

Speaker 29 What a wild story.

Speaker 58 Also, Shadur telling the Ravens he didn't want to go there. How'd that work out?

Speaker 7 I wonder if the Cardinals tried to do Gannon a solid by pre-fining him, like they do in college, where it's like, oh, we already handled this situation in NFL.

Speaker 7 Like, don't worry about any further punishment. Like, we took care of this.
You don't need to come in and give him a bigger fine. You don't need to suspend him.
You don't need to do anything.

Speaker 7 Like, we handled this.

Speaker 15 Like, self-impose the way Michigan did with the, what was that guy's name? The sign stealer.

Speaker 28 Connor Stallions.

Speaker 15 Connor Stallions.

Speaker 28 That's such a porn star name.

Speaker 7 I don't understand how you just like, you're suspended for two games. Pick which two you want.

Speaker 15 That's so crazy. Give me better porn star names in sports than Connor Stallions if you have.
And no, we've got to get rid of Magic Johnson and Randy Johnson and all the overt ones. Give me some names.

Speaker 29 Let's go active to make it hard.

Speaker 15 Better than Connor Stallions.

Speaker 15 And I want to spend the entirety of today's show making fun of the New York Yankees because you can't play enough for me the sound of John Sterling

Speaker 15 being hit. Give people the entire context for that in the event they weren't listening to the shadow show.

Speaker 22 Now, the 3-2 swung on a pop foul back here.

Speaker 23 Ow!

Speaker 23 Ow!

Speaker 23 Ow!

Speaker 25 It really hit me. I didn't know it was coming back that far.

Speaker 15 And here is Susie Waldman in the greatest Yankee moment there has been since Lou Gehrig.

Speaker 15 Roger Clemens

Speaker 15 in George's box, and Roger Clemens is coming back.

Speaker 18 Oh, my good, goodness gracious.

Speaker 15 Of all the dramatic things I've ever seen, seen, Roger Plutmans standing right in George Steybridge's box, announcing he is back. Roger Plutmans is a New York Yankee.

Speaker 32 In the last 25 major league baseball seasons, the New York Yankees have won the same amount of World Series as the Miami Marlins.

Speaker 26 Goodness gracious.

Speaker 15 Billy comes in here just slightly more radiant than he usually is, and I can't tell if it was Kershaw. It was hate watching.
It was hate-watching baseball yesterday.

Speaker 7 Can you hate watch something you love?

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 16 Yes, you can.

Speaker 15 You were doing that with Kershaw last night. I was doing it with the Yankees.

Speaker 15 Again, I don't think baseball made me feel better this entire season than that bottom of the eighth inning where the Yankees loaded the bases and were just begging the season to get back to Aaron Judge.

Speaker 15 Please, giant man, carry us, carry us to the next round because you're hitting 600 and no one else on the team. We don't have a good pitcher.

Speaker 15 We don't have anyone who can get a base hit for us, but please just get us to one more at-bat. And then they all just went home.

Speaker 32 Even those random Rays games in late June didn't get you there. Also, Carrie Wood.

Speaker 41 Not active, but.

Speaker 15 Okay, but that's Taylor Swift's lack of subtlety where everyone's turned on her, by the way. Jeremy, you were first to the party, but everyone's turned on her.

Speaker 15 They are very mad about the lyrics that Travis, that Travis Kelsey, they prefer her heart broken than swelling with joy in wood.

Speaker 15 Hmm.

Speaker 15 They do.

Speaker 32 I'm a trendsetter, Dan. What can I say?

Speaker 15 Her pain is something that makes better music than her happiness. That seems obvious.

Speaker 32 That's always been the case in everybody's music.

Speaker 29 But again, be happy.

Speaker 32 Just make interesting sounding music. It's fine.
Let your lyrics be, you know, happy, go lucky, but make it sound good.

Speaker 55 Looks like Bat Bunny is taking over the place, like I said a couple of weeks ago, as the biggest artist on the planet, especially after whatever the flop she put out.

Speaker 33 I mean, I can't tell you, but.

Speaker 32 It did break like every streaming record ever, but

Speaker 7 I have a shameful admission, Dan, from last night/slash this morning. So, Kyle Schwarber hit an absolute like bomb.

Speaker 41 Which one?

Speaker 7 He hit, well, the one that left the stadium, like he crushed it. So, I saw a graphic this morning that I didn't realize was from ESPN Deportes, and I was like groggy when I saw it when I woke up.

Speaker 7 And it was talking about the distance of the home run. And I read it as Kyle Schwarber had five 455 pies, and I was assuming that this was like over the span of the season or something.

Speaker 3 I was like, who's keeping track of that?

Speaker 7 It seems like he's had less pies than he's had in past seasons.

Speaker 20 Like, I read it the same way.

Speaker 15 I read it the same way. It was so confusing to me.
Pies SPS and span SPS is feet.

Speaker 7 Like, that explains the weight loss.

Speaker 59 Less pies this year.

Speaker 15 So, Mike tunes in last night, and wow, he's like, Clayton Kershaw has been eating an awful lot of pies.

Speaker 23 Wow.
