One of the dangers of caring about your only daughter and taking her to school on the first
day is that you walk into the show late
and you bring up the Steve Martin example at the end
that started the whole conversation at the beginning
that you weren't here for, but this show loves Claire.
And so this show allows Roy to arrive
whenever it is that he wants to
if Claire needs her handheld on the way to school.
That's the way that one works.
No matter what the damage is done
to everybody that surrounds us,
Princess Claire must get to school
at the correct time and the correct way
with the correct emotion on the first day.
I appreciate that.
And that's a really nice thing to say.
I mean, but it's just so.
It's what just happened.
It's the way that the whole thing is built it the whole thing's built around Princess Claire the whole the whole company
we've got dueling stats of the day to get to here and
Jessica's got one. I don't know if you guys have heard them
I've heard neither stat who thinks they have the better stat of the day because I'm all for
Who thinks they have the better stat of the day? Because I'm all for making this like breaking
in the Olympics where people have to compete
on their stats of the day for a winner.
I feel good about my stat, but it's baseball related.
And the way baseball's been treated in this show,
I don't know how it's gonna go over.
I feel bad about my stat as well as every take
that I've given today.
You feel like you've had a bad day?
I just don't, I've had zero conviction in anything I've said.
Okay, so you've had a bae.
You have had a bad day, but there's time to correct it.
So we're gonna fix it right now
by you defeating Chris Cody with your stat of the day.
Give me the stat of the day music, please.

Joe Theismann's last name was actually pronounced Theismann, but a marketing guide at Notre

Joe came in second that year to Jim Plunkett.
Man, that don't even rhyme.
Who would have thunk it?

Let's go! Let's go! I'm not joking with you Chris when I tell you that I legitimately get moved whenever it is that the chorus hits on that
Because well, I just remember how much work it took and that we actually got a gospel choir to crescendo
And it took like a whole bunch of people to end up making that happen
I mean could you not have eaten that pound cake loudly at another time or?
Now was the time that you had to eat it that loudly
The thing you lasted 11 damn minutes. I like I didn't know when it was gonna end
Okay, but you couldn't have eaten at some point during the 11 minutes that wasn't loudly at the end
I was eating the whole time then that's the whole theater of the mind thing that we're going for
Give me your stats of the day, please who wants to go first?
I don't know what's the advantage here as we do rival stat of the day is going first or going last but who wants to go first I'll go first just get baseball out of the day, please, who wants to go first? I don't know what's the advantage here as we do rival stat of the days,
going first or going last, but who wants to go first?
I'll go first, just get baseball out of the way.
The Nationals have used 19 third basements
since Anthony Rendon left.
That's a lot of third basements, 19.
Basements.
Is it basements or basemen?
It's basements, it's like, you know the house,
and then you go downstairs, the basements.
No, basemen like basemen it.
Oh!
Let's think about this for a minute.
It is 13, I'm sorry, 19 third basemen is,
I don't think it's.
I don't do words well.
Yeah, I don't think you throw S's in that.
No, it was 19, because you did a little th before.
Well, no, I started to say third, like third basemen,
so I said ninth, yeah.
I'm glad you picked that up. Thank you for that. Sorry, Chris. When did, boy, you started to say third like third baseman. So I said ninth Nick. Yeah, I'm glad you picked that up
When did boy you're having a tough day when old bad day over there is rising?
I have like a punchline to this stat. You guys are kind of undercutting here. Okay
There have been third 19 third baseman
Played since Anthony Rendon left the Nationals, 19 people have played third base.
That is a lot of people.
Guess what, since the Angels signed Anthony Rendon.
Jesus, Chris.
What?
Keep going.
Don't worry, block them out, Chris.
We gave it the intro.
Did you choke because the intro was the long version?
Maybe I choke because you guys are all down my throat
every single syllable I say.
Stick up for yourself.
Whoa.
There you go.
All right, let's start over.
Give me the long version again.
You played the whole thing?
No, no, no.
Can I eat the rest of my pancake?
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
You heard the man.
I'm kidding.
Start again as if this is the initial start
right after the chorus, the music is greeting you.
Do it again,
and try to beat Jessica on this stat of the day.
The Nationals have had 19 people play third base
since Anthony Rendon left.
Wait a minute, you're scared of the word,
the plural of third baseman?
Damn, if you do that.
I mean, I don't know what you guys want from me.
19 people have played third baseman for the Nationals.
No, no, no.
God damn it.
Start again, start again, and you can say
just the plural of third baseman is third baseman.
The Nationals have had 19 third basemen.
Correct.
And the Angels, since they signed Anthony Rendon,
you're thinking, okay, they got their third baseman
of the future here, have had 28 third basemen.
That's a good stat, actually.
That's an, because he's the guy.
The team that got the guy has played 28 third basemen there,
and the team that lost him has only played 19.
They gave him like $200 million, or some ridiculous amount.
He hasn't played very much for them.
It's one of the worst contracts.
That's a good stat in his game of the sport.
Yeah, good stat.
A good stat, well delivered.
Took a lot to get there.
Now Jessica,
It's about the journey.
It did take a long time to get there.
Let's you slip up one, go ahead, Jessica.
No, no, no, no, no.
So Jessica, what is yours about?
Football.
All right.
This is from Doug Claussen,
who says he's a researcher and writer at CBS Sports.
He says that, but we don't believe him.
We don't know, I mean, I did not fact check
if this person is real.
JJ McCarthy is the first QB drafted in the first round
in the Common Draft Era, parentheses,
since 1967 to miss his entire rookie season due to injury.
Really?
That was exactly my reaction, I mean.
In the most violent sport?
You're telling me we've never had a rookie quarterback miss the entirety of the first
season?
First round.
First round pick due to injury?
Since the Common Draft Era, I suppose, yes.
This also surprised me.
I thought last year Anthony Richardson,
but he didn't miss the whole season.
And so I guess the stat is really first person
to get injured between the draft and the first game,
which does seem like a small window.
So I believe it.
I gotta say, Dan, I know you're gonna be the arbiter here,
but sorry, Chris.
You had a good stat, but she trumped you.
It's football over baseball.
She trumped you.
That's a really weird, cool, individual, unique stat.
And most importantly, she trumped you.
And she didn't trip over her words at all.
I was so nervous.
I was so nervous.
But I think it really speaks to how unlucky,
I guess you could say, it is for the Vikings to lose
Their first round pick before the season even started and they think they have their franchise quarterback
Like they're saying that that's a that is just brutal to if you're a Vikings fan to have the hope on whatever it is
You thought your season was ended before it gets started and they had that other rookie as well have an unfortunate
Death in the offseason, so they having a rough run. I'll go go at it
When you look at what they're doing, right? Isn't this just a long-term play?
Wouldn't you rather have him sit the entire year?
but you know other than having Sam Donald in and then nine weeks into the season throwing him in and then it being
Downgrading his his confidence the ability to read, like all those different things that come with throwing
the quarterback in too early.
I'd rather him just have sit the year, learn the offense,
and then next year you'd be ready to go.
Well, you'd rather him just not have the injury at all.
It's a torn meniscus though, it's not the end of the world.
Well, there's different kinds, I read this after he
initially came out of practice with the knee soreness.
There's different degrees of tearing your meniscus.
Some are like multi-week things,
some are multi-month things.
So yes, in the long term for his health,
they're probably doing the right thing,
letting him have the entire season.
But I think this also just speaks to like,
you would rather them just not get hurt.
That's the best case scenario.
The fact that he's missing the entire season
indicates he's probably got a meniscus repair,
not a meniscus removal.
Meniscus repair, while not always available
to every patient, when it does happen,
there's lower risk of arthritic conditions
and kind of soreness afterward.
So, this is actually good news.
Westbrook had it.
Westbrook had it, Robert Williams III had it,
and he had the removal.
So, Embiid has had it.
So it's happened a lot in basketball.
We kind of get to know that the guys who had the removal
end up having knee problems afterward.
I mean, that's just the nature of it.
It's not like a choice.
So him having to do the repair versus the removal
is actually a good thing.
It means, okay, there was enough left there
that they could sew it back up.
I don't think that Jess, though, won that stat of the day.
No?
Well, I thought her presentation was better.
If we're judging this the way we do breaking
on creativity, originality, and merit,
I thought that the substance of what Chris is saying there,
that is a stunning stat,
given that Anthony Rendon didn't even leave He didn't leave Washington that long ago to have not that the first part of that stat was stunning to me
The second part was most stunning. So it built like the song stat of the day
Whereas Jessica's stat is also surprising because as you said violent sport yesterday
Mark Andrews gets into a car accident and walks away uninjured and my reaction was well the car got into an andrews accident right because
do we know that the car was uninjured because the people playing that sport i
don't understand how more of them don't end up getting hurt all the time that
way just this one though is just so brutal because minnesota had hope and
do we get to see the special new thing the special new thing with Justin Jefferson
with Jordan Addison if he can you know not do the thing also hurt yeah do and and in trouble
and hurt and in trouble I I really thought maybe I'm an idiot about this probably am but after what
happens to rugs in the age of uber like i just can't imagine a wide receiver driving
drunk anymore when it when rugs is your most recent example i know that makes me a fool
and naive and everything else but when the when the example given to you is that obvious
of what can happen i'm surprised perpetually that another receiver is going to be driving
too fast and drunk but i i guess I shouldn't be, right?
Football has largely cleaned some of that stuff up, but when the consequences
are, oh you can have a great life of opulence and freedom and stardom in the
NFL or go to prison, like just seems like if you have money in the age of Uber
that would be a pretty easy one to avoid. Now, DUIs have to be down in the
league, right? Like just generally, I would think that many lessons have been learned,
perhaps it's not an absolute learned lesson, but I've got to think that throughout sports
you're hearing about fewer and fewer DUIs, are you not?
It's one of those things, Dan, because it is such a, I feel like a ridiculous thing,
especially for someone of means to get into,
that each occurrence is so much bigger of a deal
that it doesn't feel like it's gone down,
but I think you're right.
Just the existence of Uber, Uber Black,
or Lyft Premium or whatever,
says that we should have less of these.
These things happen slowly, right?
Because Roger Goodell has cleaned up the off-field
incident problem that the NFL has had. It has been cleaned up, but it took a great deal of time.
I would imagine, I've got to think, I don't have it empirically in front of me, that over time you
will see that DUIs will keep going down because the effect of rugs might not be absolute
and instantaneous, but something like that
does tend to echo and alter certain behavior.
I will tell you guys that I did not start wearing
a seatbelt until Derek Thomas was paralyzed
in an accident.
Really?
Yes, I had never worn a seatbelt in my life.
As a driver? Thomas was paralyzed in an accident. Really? Yes, I had never worn a seatbelt in my life.
As a driver?
I had never before worn a seatbelt in my life
before Derek Thomas was paralyzed in an accident.
And I will assure you that there are players
throughout sports that as soon as rugs happens,
they are impacted by that in a way that says,
I will never drive drunk again. What year is that Dan?
I don't know Derek Tom. Yeah, I don't know that's for the chiefs, right?
Yeah, this would have been two thousand. Yeah, so twenty twenty two years ago throughout my 20s
I drove without a seat belt then you told me you sat in the car and you let it go
No, it didn't do that back then though the technology wasn't there we hadn't been that advanced
Who cares if you don't whatever
This is crazy to me that's a shocking revelation you just made like maybe that was more was that common in this time
Oh, I don't know. I think I was an idiot Dan. I want to say I in
1997 or 98 I was riding shotgun with my buddy Carl Claremont blitz
Yeah, there you go.
And we got pulled over and I got a ticket as the passenger for not having my seatbelt
on.
And so I don't think I wore my seatbelt, not that you say it, I think about it, but
I never drove so I think the driver always did because my buddy Carl had his seatbelt
on.
I was the only one in the car
Who got a ticket? I didn't know you could do that
I didn't know you could get a ticket as a passenger
But I feel like you know shout out to Gwinnett police or whatever there out there in in Georgia
Jessica just whispered to me. What a weird story, and it's what I was thinking
Well, not the voice it was what it's what I was already thinking before she whispered it to me. Thanks, Dan. I have learned, well, you helped me transitionally here because I've been wanting to make fun
of Amin here since yesterday because more than anyone in my life as a professional,
I would say that Amin shows momentary lapses of bad judgment
that surprise me when I'm expecting him to hit
at a 99% clip and sometimes he hits at a 98% clip
and the 2% go off in directions that I find unusual.
I'm trying to back up your point.
Sorry for being a good teammate.
Dan was like, I didn't wear a seatbelt.
And everyone was like, what, how's that possible? You know what that's true when I was around that era
I was talking about your friend
Carl eyes there's a lot about Carl listens to the show
You like lost yourself, and you were just talking to yourself
He kind of did it was like you were like in your own guys immigrant kid from a war-torn country
Who's never had a car before lived in New York City didn't need a car doesn't know about seat belts
Okay, just in the car just like hey, I'm here with my buddy car
We're gonna drive to a place all of a sudden to stop the cop comes over and says you buddy
Let me get your license. You're like me. I'm not even driving. What do you want me to do?
You're not wearing a seat belt buddy. What is my fourth time being in a car before.
I don't know.
You know what?
I owe a mean an apology.
It's not the story.
It's how poorly it was told.
It wasn't the story.
The defense rest, your honor.
Howdy folks, it's Mike Ryan.

This is the Dan Lebatar Show with the StuGards.
Amin was fascinated and I have not seen or heard anything about the interview,
except that Shannon Sharp sat down with Oscar de la Hoya and
Oscar de la Hoya at this point to me I don't know how many of you play word
association with Oscar de la Hoya but we talked about this yesterday in regards
to Will Smith a lot of people will erase the entire resume and say he is his
worst act he's he's the act I remember. He is
slapping Chris Rock. At this point when I think of Oscar De La Hoya, the
immediate thing that comes to mind is not extraordinary boxer, it's not
promoter, it is fishnet stockings, a photograph of him in a bathtub,
wearing high heel and fishnets.
And I think it's unfair of me to do that,
but I can't control that I'm doing that.
Like, I don't think it's right of me to do that.
The man has worked to craft the thing
that he became excellent at,
that is very hard to become excellent at.
And for some reason, the first snapshot
that comes into my head
with Oscar De La Hoya is that one and you thought the seat belt admission was the
one that was shameful Chris Cody how about you is that what he's talking about in this interview with Shannon Sharpe because everyone everyone who talks to him asks him about that. Yeah, well this is the clip from the interview.
You brought it up, Oscar.
You had to be on it.
Oscar, why you let him snap that picture?
Which one?
It's 15 years ago, the picture you was talking about.
Oh, I was drugged up.
Yeah, I was drugged up.
I didn't even know it.
You didn't know you had put the pantyhose on?
No.
Have you ever tried it?
No. Hell no.
They ain't gonna make me put pantyhose on. Hell no, I ain't gonna try it. I ain ever tried it? No. Hell no.
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Hell no, I ain't gonna try it.
I ain't gonna try it either.
Okay, okay.
When they came out, yeah, I was worried as hell
because I was at the peak of my career.
Yes!
And I was having issues domestically at home.
With your wife.
Yeah, with all that stuff.
And so they made me, first of all,
we hired this forensic expert and photos and Photoshop.
We actually convinced the people that they were fake.
Yeah, and I was home free.
And then the person at the time that I was with
convinced me to do an interview
and tell the world, you know what, they're real.
So why would you do that?
Because I was a shell of my own self at the time.
I didn't know what I was thinking.
But I'm glad I did it because I'm glad
I said they were real because it set me free.
Really?
Oh yeah. Yeah, they're out because it set me free. Really? Oh yeah.
Yeah, they're out there 15 years ago, so what?
I mean, what...
I bet if I asked 30 people here,
20 of them say, yeah, I've warned something from a woman.
In closed doors.
That's what happens.
Mine just came out publicly.
It's interesting because he starts with,
I was drugged.
And it ends with, come on, who among us, right?
I don't know if he was drugged.
Because here's the main thing, and they talk about it a little bit in the extended clip.
He talks about the girls showed up, the girls that drugged him, showed up with a suitcase.
And Shannon says, what was in the suitcase?
And he says, drugs and women's clothing and Shannon says how did he know what
size you were and he doesn't give an answer he gives a very roundabout
distracting answer same thing I forgot about the high heel the pumps how did
they know what shoe size he had just happen to have his size and all that
stuff so by the end of it when he says, I bet if you ask 30 people here, 20 of them have done it.
That sounds like to me, yeah, you kinda did it.
You weren't drugged.
Maybe you were on drugs, but you weren't drugged.
We're kink shaming Oscar De La Hoya.
Not, you know what we're doing?
We're lying shaming.
We're dishonesty shaming.
Be honest, be real, we'll accept it.
Yeah, I wouldn't do that shit but whatever makes you happy will we know will we be just be
honest about it because he went to great lengths I've seen him interviewed about
this before this is not the first time that he's talked about it actually I saw
a documentary yeah it's an it HPO documentary, and they interviewed the woman, or one of the women,
who was there and did it with him.
And he, look man, this one,
so you not only have all of the masculine stuff
that is in boxing, not only have all of the masculine stuff
and toxic masculine stuff that is in Latin culture,
you also have just in general everything
that there is in sports about other athletes
are now looking at Oscar De La Hoya,
professionally identifying as a fighter,
and now we are looking at him in a position
that has caused him a shame that he needed to be freed from,
but at the beginning what he did was,
tell everyone it's Photoshopped,
which would totally work right now, by the way.
Oh yeah, AI.
As an argument, and you never have to actually
tell the truth.
But to-
Run that laundry, folks.
To buck against that and then say,
the truth has set me free,
and then offer the statistic that
would also be a good stat of the day of who among us hasn't done that I believe
that most among us have not probably done that but he thinks it's more normal
than the rest of us and it must be a truly terrible shame for any of us to have our kink in public.
This is how Louis C.K. tried to escape some of his stuff
by saying, the joke, no, saying Obama knows my kink.
Do you know how embarrassing that is to me?
That's how he tried to get out from under his stuff
by filing it just as a kink when his was
closer to criminal than kink.
But what else did you find interesting about the Oscar
de la Hoya thing?
Is it just that at the end he circles back around and
it's like, yeah not only did I did us,
who among us hasn't?
Right, like he kinda hit on every single,
every single kind of aspect of it, right?
From oh it was 20 years ago or whatever,
15 years ago, who cares, to I was drugged.
I was taken advantage of, to, well, telling the truth
made me feel good, and also, who among us hasn't done it?
I bet, you know, and there's a point where he reaches
and he grabs Shannon Sharpe's ankle to, quote unquote,
make sure, you know, as a joke, like, oh, you're wearing something right now, and Shannon Sharpe says ankle to quote unquote make sure he knows it's a joke.
Like, are you wearing something right now?
And Shannon Sharpe says, I ain't even wearing socks.
I think he's just asking, whatever it is,
just let this be a lesson to keeping it real, bro.
Like, ain't nobody gonna judge you
if you wanted to wear it or not.
You ain't gotta do all that.
Like myself, I'm gonna keep it real right now.
I feel like I may have been a little bit too jokey jokey
on the internet with my sister, Rae Gunn,
and she put out a video this morning
describing how it's affected her
and the people around her, her organization,
the people she danced with, her crew, and her husband.
So I wanna formally on air apologize
if what I've been doing online
has been seem to be making fun of her
because she put out a video and said
it's been affecting her mental health
and we all back off.
So I'm gonna take that and back off.
So just for a question, for asking for someone else
who's been a victim of viral decontextualization,
does this mean you're gonna stop using my videos
every time anything happens in sports anywhere?
Because I feel like this week or these last two weeks,
I'm like, do y'all have any other content that's not me?
No, I'm gonna keep doing that, brother.
I'm so sorry because you a Metal Dark employee
and you are my actual friend.
I wrote my rights off.
Right.
You signed the dotted line, so, but my sister Ray Gunn,
you got my utmost apologies and respect.
Juju, I have felt that way so many times
in the last 20 years where I do something and I
forgive myself or rationalize to myself why it's okay to just mock someone
because it's all in the spirit of you should have your mental health align
with what my sense of humor is and when someone then tells me they've been hurt
by that I tend to see them as more human uh...
then they were when it is that i was talking about it and then rationalizing
because
the internet exists for this kind of comedy correct and we were talking we
started the show with the idea of you really don't want to go viral for a bad
thing because then it opens up the doors to the entirety of the internet's unhappiness feasting on you and there's plenty of funny and clever
but there's plenty of hurtful too so here's ray gun talking about the way she
will she was hurt by this hi everyone ray gun here I just want to start by
thanking all the people who have supported me. I really
appreciate the positivity and I'm glad I was able to bring some joy into your
lives. That's what I hoped. I didn't realize that that would also open the
door to so much hate which is frankly been pretty devastating. While I went out
there and I had fun I did take it very seriously. I worked my butt off
preparing for the Olympics and I gave my all truly. In regards to the allegations
and misinformation floating around, I'd like
to ask everyone to please refer to the recent statement made by the AOC as
well as the posts on the Ozbreaking Instagram page as well as the WDSF
Breaking for Gold page. Bit of a fun fact for you, there are actually no points in
breaking. If you want to see how the judges thought I compared to my
opponents, you can actually see the comparison percentages across the five
criteria on Olympics.com. All the results are there. I really like to ask the press to please
stop harassing my family, my friends, the Australian breaking community and the
broader street dance community. Everyone has been through a lot as a result of
this so I ask you to please respect their privacy.
Like I said man you cannot do nothing but respect her wishes and and I feel like I've played a part
online so I definitely apologize Sister Ray Gunn to her family and everybody and I hope that you
can find some peace over the next couple of months and realize that we are celebrating some of us are
celebrating you as well you feel me so much love to you sister and we got your back.
I mean, I don't think you're gonna change
any of your behavior, right?
Look at you.
You're just.
You hit me with a breaking news sound.
What here, what just happened here?
I just sent it to you.
Chris, you're supposed to go, ah damn, the NFL, it never stops.
He's learning.
He'll get the hang of it.
Oh wow, okay, he did send it to me.
The Chargers and Jim Harbaugh
have offered Colin Kaepernick a coaching position.
That's what I got?
We'll take it.
Yeah, baby steps. Welcome back to the league, Colin. Baby steps, that's what I got. That's what I got. We'll take it. Yeah.
Baby steps.
Welcome back to the league, Colin.
Baby steps.
Well, but hold on.
No, no, no.
Hold on.
He's gotta accept it.
Over Zoom?
Thank you, Tony.
That's correct.
But that also hurts other things
that he's got cooking in the background, too.
Quote, he's considering it.
He was out of the country.
He said he was going to get back to me, Jim told USA Today. So he is considering it, but the breaking news could have been
Substantively bigger if it had been a quarterbacking position. Pretty big. A coaching position. We'll talk about this next.

Lot has changed over the years, listening audience. Hey, it's Mike Ryan. One thing
that hasn't, the great taste of Miller Lite. Now, you know, over the course of our history doing this
show Miller Lite's kind of been there for the vast majority of it. And I have been a
very public facing fan of the beverage. Why? Well, that's been up for debate for a long
time, pretty much since 1975. But one thing that is not up for debate, the undebatable
quality and great taste of Miller Lite the fact that it is only
96 calories this is a beer that strips everything away that you don't need and holds on to what matters most
Less filling great taste a light beer that tastes like beer
You don't have to choose what you like best Miller Lite has great taste and is less filling
