Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. $20 per month on Rogers internet visit Rogers comm for details. We got you Rogers This is the down labor tour show with this two guys podcast We're gonna get to this Wyatt Yeager in a second because he tried to speed off and flee a whale breaching I know what someone who is about to dip looks like I saw that okay a whale breaching. No. We're not so sure about that. I think he was going back. We were exploring. I know what someone who's about to dip looks like. I saw that. Okay, well, we're accusing him of being a fleer. Let's play that video.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Let's just show that video again of a whale breaching in New Hampshire yesterday. Just totally horrifying. And there he is. There's Wyatt. See ya. He looks like I'm just, I just noticed Wyatt has a line in the water
Starting point is 00:01:07 and has to make the quick decision. Watch his hand. I'm telling you, that's a U-turn. That's a U-turn there guys. Okay. We're going to find out from him. He will have answers. He's joining us from the same dock where he and his 16 year old brother, Colin launched their boat before the accident that we've we've seen here.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Wyatt, thank you for joining us. We appreciate it. Can you take us through what happened here? How weird this was? Yeah, this was actually crazy. So we got there, we saw this whale start making its way over, and it was feeding on those bogeys, the baitfish, and it started breaching a few times,
Starting point is 00:01:42 and then all of a sudden it breached up super high and hit the boat and flipped him over. And so what was happening with the person who's on that boat? Do you know that person? No, we didn't know them. But we went over and picked them up and talked to them. You're a hero! We got them. You're a hero You're a hero Well, they're about five or ten other boats there Why it was first? Yeah you what who was there first?
Starting point is 00:02:20 We were there. Oh, you're the hero Wow, so you immediately you immediately turned around to go check on them Yep. Yep. Yep. Were you worried that wait, is this a rogue whale? Is this whale gonna do this again? Honestly, it, looking back at the video, it kind of should have crossed my mind, but it didn't cross my mind in the moment. You went into hero mode. Yeah, well, I was pretty scared, like, for them and just scared, like, what just happened. But I kind of had a duty to just go go help them that is how that is how heroes do interviews right there that is uh that you don't think about yourself you just go into heroism mode can you tell us uh the people who were on the boat tell us what condition they were in how scared they were what level of surprise uh they they? They, yeah, it was, this was kind of crazy to me too,
Starting point is 00:03:07 that they were fine. They were like, they were kind of laughing, like smiling, like, wow, that was pretty cool. Like they were obviously a little bit shooken up because I don't think anyone can just walk away from that totally fine, but they were in good spirits. They thought it was pretty cool and they were just happy to be alive.
Starting point is 00:03:27 How long were they in the water? They said under a minute. I'd say it's hard for me to remember, but between a minute and two minutes, I'd say. How did, like, their boat was capsized, right? How did we get it back to normal? When me and my brother were heading in, we saw a rescue team. I think they went under the boat and filled up some some buoys or something
Starting point is 00:03:53 and flipped it over and then towed it back in. I'm not exactly sure on the process, but I think that's what they did. Is the boat now fine? The boat that was capsized is now usable the next day? Other than the motor, the motor got, got a little bit crushed. Um, but other than that, yeah, the boat is pretty much perfectly fine. You know, the internet these days, there were people theorizing that, oh, this whale exacted some revenge because they were too close to it and there were
Starting point is 00:04:20 probably signs that this whale was agitated to you, were there any signs that this was a possibility with this whale? No, I wouldn't say so. It was just simply, it was feeding on the fish. We, looking back at it, we all could have maybe been like a little bit farther back, but we're trying to stay on the edge of the school of fish for other boaters, like other fishermen too. Um, but it, I don't think it was, uh, it was just a crazy mistake. You catch anything good that day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:53 How they buy. Oh yeah. Oh, they were insane. Best I've ever had. Whoa. What'd you get? I got a, uh, 49 inch striper. It was probably about 50 pounds.
Starting point is 00:05:03 And then we caught some other like in between 35 and 45 striper. Hell yeah. Were you pissed that this ruined your day? Like now you have to go take this dummy in because his boat got knocked over by a whale? No, we could have totally gone back out like 10 minutes after we dropped them off with their friend
Starting point is 00:05:22 and we were debating like we, it didn't ruin our day at all We could have went back out if we wanted this was the best fishing day of your life. Yeah. Yeah I caught the best fish I have and my brother caught the coolest video. Okay, so that so you're saying it's not It's not just that you remember the fishing you are also enjoying this hero's lap that you get to take all of a sudden. Look at you doing interviews. Look at you. So you have a fish story. You have an amazing day and every fisherman wants a story like this.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Yeah. I mean, I would say so. Yeah. Just because everyone was okay. The whale was okay. The boat was okay. It was a pretty cool experience looking back at it and the fishing was great. It was a pretty cool experience looking back at it. And the fishing was great.
Starting point is 00:06:07 It was a good day, definitely. But I'm just glad everyone was okay. That is an important part to say. You've got that part of the hero's interview right. You've got it down. It's a good thing that no one was hurt here. My fishing day would have been ruined if somebody's father had died. How many people did you send a video to before you posted it on social media? fishing day would have been ruined if somebody's father had died.
Starting point is 00:06:25 How many people did you send a video to before you posted it on social media? I sent it to my family group chat and then I sent it to some of my friends and then we tried to sell the video because the people in the boat were like, you guys should totally sell that video. So we were looking into that and it didn't really work out, so we just posted it on our stories and then I Think someone got a hold of it. Take me through some of the negotiations and the sad offers you got like Did you call TMZ like how did the sales portion of this go before you abandoned it? What was the asking price? We were we were lost.
Starting point is 00:07:05 We had no clue like anything about this whole process. We started calling up like just like the local news cause we had no idea like who would want this or we had no idea what we were doing. What's the pitch? Do you say we have a video? Do you want to buy it? $20.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Yeah, yeah. It was pretty much like that. Like we got this cool video if you guys want it. Yeah. Your negotiation needs some work. Can you tell can you tell us? About the good responses that you got from some of the people you did send it to before you tried to sell it for $20 Um, my friends were we're going crazy. They were like what just happened like They were they were very confused but laughing their asses off Yeah, yeah when they heard everyone was okay. Like it was just like everyone's first reaction was is everyone okay? But yeah, it was
Starting point is 00:07:57 Is it okay to laugh at this now is because no one has actually died in the making of this video Uh wyatt, thank you for being on with us your american hero we appreciate your work with you why i apologize for telling you how much i have to you for thinking that you were immediately fleeing you look like you were scared you did get it you didn't look like a hero jumping into action you look like someone fleeing a crime uh... yeah well uh... it is all good no one was hurt in the making of this video
Starting point is 00:08:26 Except for why its feelings because he tried to sell it and it was pathetic the way that all of that 150 Yamaha Yes, and then the motor of the hundred fifty Yamaha. Thank you. Wyatt. Appreciate the time So you're reading not coming up with a catchphrase afterwards. Like if you would have said Hawk to you could have like one million Yeah, no, I I mean Like if you would have said, Haktua, you could have won millions. Yes, you could have. Yeah, no, I mean, honestly I kind of hate all the... I wouldn't say I hate the attention, but it's cool. Doing an interview. Look at the camera and say, we're having a whale of a day.
Starting point is 00:09:00 I'm not. I'm happy with how it turned out. I'm very happy. Because no one was hurt. cause no one was hurt. Right. Cause no one was hurt. Yeah, exactly. Zero. Thank you, Wyatt. Thank you, Wyatt.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Beers on me next time, when you're of age. Wyatt and LeBron, both uncomfortable with praise. Hey, it's Mike Ryan. How do you like to grill your barbecue? Tell me, I'll be quiet. I'll stand back. I'll listen for approximately two and a half seconds. Wow. A lot of great suggestions in there.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Let me give you a suggestion. I need everybody in the audience to pair their barbecue with Miller Lite. I've been doing a lot of travel lately and I really reveled in the fact that I got to stay home with my family. It was hot out. It was a perfect day for the pool. And what goes good with that? Miller time, of course. You know that's what I was getting at. I don't like debates. And that's why I go with Miller Lite, because it's got undebatable quality. It tastes as great as your barbecue. It's a beer that strips
Starting point is 00:09:50 everything away that you don't need and holds onto what matters most. It's the light beer with the most taste, less filling, at only 96 calories that is perfect for when you're eating some barbecue outside with your family. With a Miller Lite in your hand, grilling doesn't just taste great. It tastes like Miller Time. To get Miller Lite delivered right to your door, visit MillerLite.com slash Dan, or you can find it pretty much anywhere that sells beer. Celebrate responsibly, Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 96 calories per 12 ounces. Don LeBattard! If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gun drops, oh what a rain that would be.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Stugats! Standing outside with my mouth open wide Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops Oh what a rain that would be This is the Dunn Lebatar Show with the StuGats. That's right, it's time for Against the Spread! And it is brought to you by our friends at DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear what DraftKings has to offer all throughout the show.
Starting point is 00:11:06 DraftKings, the crown is yours. Tony kick us off. All right guys, well Olympic time happening right now. Obviously the games are started. The opening ceremony is yet to be done, so we're still trying to figure that part out. But I'm going to go into the Olympic canoeing slalom. A very important exercise we've got Tony I'm gonna need your energy to be just a little quicker
Starting point is 00:11:33 a little faster here and some of your word choices to be a little bit better let my boy cook Adam Adam Burgess from Great Britain he is plus 900 in the canoeing slalom for this year. We're locking in Adam Burgess. The spread. The spread. That is our future. We can't do this poorly.
Starting point is 00:11:54 We can't, we're in a contract year. We have to do better than this. Mike, over to you. I got us, all right. I did a lot of prep on this. Zach Efflin, he's a pitcher. He pitches for Tampa Bay. Yes he does.
Starting point is 00:12:06 He's coming off a bad start. And so I looked at who he's playing today. It's the Toronto Blue Jays. Last time he pitched against them, didn't turn out so good. So let's keep with that trend. I'm going to take the Blue Jays. Only minus 180 in some books. Plus one and a half. Against the Spread! All right, Dan, last week on Against the Spread, me and the blacksmiths told you pound that steel. Take Justin's steel, he can't miss. He's been hot, he's had two great back to back starts, and guess what?
Starting point is 00:12:39 He missed. But you know what happens with the blacksmiths? You miss once, you keep pounding that steel, you don't miss again. And today Justin Steele takes on the Brewers and they're minus one and a half. Pound that steel, Justin Steele. Against the spread.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Against the spread. Can I redo mine? Because what happened was I didn't know Chris was gonna throw it to me and he threw it to me. I was on the canoeing slalom. No. So it was tough. You're good. I like Tyler glass now, by the way tonight against the with the Dodgers Now against the
Starting point is 00:13:13 In a contract year, we cannot be betting canoeing It's an Olympic. It's the Olympics. What are we supposed to do it lined up? Where you should see is also slow that It's also a slalom. That's not a spread, that was a future. So, he cleaned it up. Future is the spread. All right, thank you for nothing. We have to do better over the course of the next year for DraftKings.
Starting point is 00:13:35 We have a very good deal with DraftKings that is about to expire, and it is something that we should protect and honor better than we just did there, stammering our way through that segment the way that you guys did. I said three things, they were all right. And it is something that we should protect and honor better than we just did there Stammering our way through that segment the way that you guys did I said three things they were all right Yeah, Zach Eflin name right he's a ray got that right they're playing the Blue Jays though They can't score against anybody in your house. Well apparently they can score against Zach Eflin I Want to spin the wheel we have a lot of issues that we have not gotten to and Zazzle
Starting point is 00:14:06 I need you to pick from these topics on the wheel. We have an emotional Jim Leland. We have Greg Cody Inexplicably ripping Michael Phelps yesterday. We have Taylor Walls of the Rays the aforementioned Rays doing a Donald Trump celebration We have alpha brain That Mike Ryan can't stop taking to try and improve his uh... brainpower we have some a cc news we have leonel messy and we have something that jim harbaugh i'm ready has said about lamar jackson so let's spin the wheel and that that we have a plan for subject all
Starting point is 00:14:43 greg cody right else conversation yes i like it okay so yesterday on the show out of nowhere trying to up his uh... you know notoriety after taking out connor mcdavid during the stanley cup final and making the n.h.l. final about himself uh... greg cody said uh... objected to a list of top 100 athletes by saying your number one athlete on that list cannot be an athlete that we care about, or that's not even the point that I would make. The point that I'm making is Michael Phelps is the greatest athlete since the year 2000. You're telling me. You put Michael Phelps right here in front of me and right here is LeBron James.
Starting point is 00:15:38 And I'm supposed to go with Michael Phelps? Greatest athletes? No, no, no, no. No, I don't like that at all. More dominant, like more distance between him and the nearest competitor than whatever the distance would be between LeBron and the nearest competitor. But here's also the thing, Michael Phelps, there's not another swimmer trying to prevent him from being great at swimming. Everything LeBron James is trying to accomplish, there are other guys trying to prevent him from doing that. Well all the other swimmers are trying to prevent Michael Phelps from finishing before they do. No, they're all trying to be fastest,
Starting point is 00:16:16 but they're not in Michael Phelps' lane and pushing him out of the way and making him go slow. They're not tugging on his leg and not allowing him to touch the wall. They're not pushing him under the water so that he drowns and doesn't finish. All of that's happening to someone like LeBron. Chris Cody, is Michael Phelps the greatest at anything to hang up on our show when we had him on and we tried to just ask him questions about whether or not he was using his fame in order to accrue things and he he was taking our interview very seriously do you go into the nightclub with these kelogs products and just drop them on the floor with your face on them uh... i i i think we have uh... had to have a look at that thank you very much
Starting point is 00:17:01 for your time alright michael good talking to you i didn't even get to ask what the i didn't pay her i didn't pay her uh... i got it no how did you get there
Starting point is 00:17:22 what did he call there at the memory of that everything's a joke to these guys oh they're so irreverent that's how we became zippy in the juice no one respects the Olympics by the way I can I give you guys an Olympic update while everybody was focusing on the corruption in Saber fencing what happened on the corruption in saber fencing. What happened on the pitch in soccer was an outrage today between Argentina and Morocco. A damn crime, ridiculous. 16 minutes of extra time was added at the end of the game
Starting point is 00:17:57 to allow Argentina to score and tie the game and have it end as a tie. And daddy needed that tie. 16 minutes of extra time. How's that possible? I don't know how it's possible. I kept asking in the group chat, cause I was doing the show,
Starting point is 00:18:08 was there a water break that I missed? I didn't see a VAR. How was there 16 minutes? Also the finishing sequence of that game was incredible. It was three out of five booms. Boom! You bet. He doesn't get that.
Starting point is 00:18:22 That they wouldn't lose? I bet midway through the game when Argentina was down and they're the better side I bet to tie and then I was like, oh crap. They're going and I saw 15 minutes. I was like, let's go what That was Pearl Jam That was as low as phone you owe five dollars Where's your money Wow, did I beat Shazam? Was it given to fly? It was! Pearl Jam? That alpha brain.
Starting point is 00:18:52 That is so on brand. Zaslow's phone playing some Pearl Jam. I couldn't have constructed a hypothetical. Did you do that on purpose? No! You would pick yellow lead better? Speaking of the Olympics, are we gonna do our draft on who is covering what sports? Because we really do. We're headed into a period here of a couple of weeks
Starting point is 00:19:17 where we need to get up to date on what's happening in the Olympics. I'm selecting break dancing. I want that to be the sport that I am covering. But how are we gonna do this draft? Do we have an order? Well, it just started. Dan was first, Zaslow, you're next.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Yeah, apparently the guy whose name's on the show says, I'm taking this first. That's fine. And then you can figure out how you're doing the rest of it. So I get to cover whatever sport I want. Yes, and we'll check in with you. Yeah, I'm going wrestling. I mean, the US has got a squad.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, Randy Morton. RKO. You're going to actually be our wrestling correspondent. We're going to go for a minute of coverage. We're going to do this the way that we do the F1 minute with Jessica that we didn't get this week that we should have gotten yesterday. It wasn't even the bus race.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Who's picking next in our track? I'll go next. I'm gonna take beach volleyball. Damn. See how Chase Budinger is doing. Damn. You also had the best vista because. Oh man, you see that thing?
Starting point is 00:20:20 Dude, it's incredible. I was gonna go there. That's a good pick. Looks like I'm next because of, against this friend I? Dude, it's incredible. I was going to go there. That's a good pick. Looks like I'm next. Because of against the spread, I'm going to take canoe slalom. Wow. You left canoe sprint out there. Huh?
Starting point is 00:20:31 Good value. Just in case. What is canoe slalom? You know how slalom on skis you're going through the things? You're just canoeing. There's obstacles. Or sprint is like you just go as fast as possible. Are you guys looking forward to discovering some of the sports?
Starting point is 00:20:44 Because every year at this time, all of a sudden someone gets real excited about handball or badminton or something where they weren't excited before and then they see it and they're like, oh, that's more interesting than I thought it was. Yeah. Man, I'm really frustrated at this board. You guys have made some good picks. Yeah. All right. I'm going to go with a light lift. I mean, how can I break down weightlifting? Well, one guy just lifted more than the other. Good form, I guess. He didn't pee himself. Some guys shit himself. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:12 So I'm going to go weightlifting. You say that Chris, I'm going to group chat that follows weightlifting. So like there, I'm an outsource of work for me. I've told you the story before Chris of how it is that I became someone aware of the nation of Qatar, just knowing that it existed. I'd never heard of it, how to spell it, anything. At an Olympics I was at where Qatar was trying to legitimize itself by buying a bunch of Bulgarian weightlifters who were on steroids, all of whom were fleeing the Olympic village with diarrhea because of the amount of diuretics they were taken to get around the cheating. But they help launder the money for Qatar. So it is now the giant Olympic country that you now
Starting point is 00:21:56 know because they bought a bunch of Bulgarian weightlifters. This may be a controversial take for someone that is known to cover the sport as I do, but I'm good with steroids and weightlifting more. Put it on the poll please, Juju, at LeBotard Show, are you more okay with steroids and weightlifting than you are in other sports with your sliding scale of moralities? I was really alarmed by the rest of you having zero interest in Pablo giving you the cheating information that an Olympic Olympic sport is totally corrupt through Putin. He was giving you the veggies we
Starting point is 00:22:30 were giving you the french fries. It's a dance for everybody that wasn't into fencing and match fixing and oligarchs we were there with the the non sex beds. We're more worried about Pablo to be honest like he's risking it all for saber fencing he's gonna end up getting pushed out of a window really damn that's crazy that happens a lot yeah gotta fix those damn windows over there it's not the hill you would expect the journalists to want to die well I think gonna be a hill it's gonna be a window so definitely when you land on a hill he's a window you can land well he's got a shot and a better males just gotta make sure we tell his
Starting point is 00:23:04 story Billy what are you gonna end up covering? I'm gonna do trampoline. Ah, damn. Is this a snake draft? Do I now go again? You should. No, I think we're just covering- I'm not covering multiple sports. It's two each.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Didn't you go to Barcelona? I'm covering breakdancing and Hawaiian pizza. Why? Well, does that mean you also get poppin locks? What else are you guys covering is the guy that goes Jesus Christ is he in this? You're next just I missed the No, it's a snake Yeah, Stu gots isn't here I'm gonna go flag football
Starting point is 00:23:42 I'm gonna go flag football It's on the Olympic we got this from Olympics calm not to do a su guys not till 2026 It's an Olympic sport, but not in this one. So sorry. All right. Well then I'm obviously gonna go with modern pentathlon Okay, that goes without saying I know what that is until the group damn Well, I mean there's regular and then there's modern I'm doing There's old-fashioned modern more of a Greco Roman pentathlon. Don't ask me about the regular because I'm only gonna do modern. Yeah I'm gonna go with equestrian. What happened to the snake trap? There's no order. There's chaos. They didn't just picked one. I don't yeah Yeah, but Dan gave up his second you better be serious about this If there's a break in competition that you're not on, I'm gonna be really disappointed considering you had first pick.
Starting point is 00:24:27 I'm going with my second pick, artistic swimming. Wow, I can't believe you guys left me rhythmic gymnastics. What is artistic swimming? You got it. He's gonna find out. No, think about what artistic swimming is. Synchronized swimming? No, God no. No, think about what artistic swimming is. It's like a 1940s musical. Synchronized swimming? It can be whatever you want. No, God no. Well, no, it is synchronized. It better be.
Starting point is 00:24:48 If you want a medal, it is. It's synchronized, but do not call it synchronized swimming. In the eye of the beholder. Thank you. Yeah, I'm doing rhythmic gymnastics, which I hope is like a ribbon. I like my two sports. Are you guys aware that I've tried to do
Starting point is 00:25:00 synchronized swimming with the US women's team. What does that mean? That I have been in a pool in Atlanta while they were doing what they were doing and I was trying to do it with them. Invited or as a creeper? You just saw them and you dove in the pool? I saw a video of a dude doing that
Starting point is 00:25:21 at Montreal Comedians practice. He just hopped on the rink and took a couple shots at Joe's 80 I was overcome with inspiration I was just walking by to the commissary and I saw that they were practicing and I'm like I'm going to join whether I'm Invited or not and I just put on you know, my speedo and ran out. Do you think it's like a rookie of the year situation? Who the hell is that? He's amazing. I assure you that's not what it was.
Starting point is 00:25:48 I actually did, was that a snort somewhere that I heard? I actually kicked one of the girls in the face accidentally while trying to execute a spin. Yeah, that happened. Billy, what is the second sport you're taking? I think I'm to do sport climbing What is that? Sport climbing rock climbing. It's more I think it's speed. I think it's speed

Starting point is 00:29:05 continues to be interested in this soccer team for a lot of different reasons that don't have to do with Messi. You're a season ticket holder. I am. I'm an inaugural season ticket holder in Miami. Yes, I'm taking a bath this last week because I sell all my tickets. I don't go to the games. I don't want to go to the games. I want to make that money. Matter of fact, I have a friend who I used to split the tickets with. He didn't wanna do with me again this year because ticket price went up so much.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Mike Ryan knows about that. But I'm like, nah, I'm in it to win it. I think I'm gonna make some money here. And I would sell all the tickets for two, three, sometimes four times the amount. I send my buddy a GIF of the million dollar man laughing. Ha ha ha ha! Who you're covering this year for the Olympics.
Starting point is 00:29:42 The who? Well, so now the last week I Can't get you don't know the million dollar man laughing about come on So rich Dollars so much richer than everybody that he just laughs at people because he has more money than they do So I haven't been able to sell my tickets recently. I had to to go last week I didn't want to go I had to go and did messy yeah yeah well that's the whole point is that's why I can't give them away so yeah well they're playing really well I know people want to see messy there's plenty of stars on the team
Starting point is 00:30:17 this team seems to be really really really good they're running away with a supporter so I want anyone buy my tickets? Well, because they want to see Messi. That's the draw. But they begin the Leagues Cup, which I know a lot of people poked holes in how much it meant because it was an inaugural version of the competition. For people like me that follow both Liga Mequis and MLS, this is a dream competition where you get to see all these matchups and see who goes head to head but I do I do think that Inter Miami have really navigated this messy stuff quite well is because their manager Tata Martino has shown he came into the league
Starting point is 00:30:55 with quite the pedigree having succeeded within the league but also abroad and he knows how to navigate seasons that have a lot of cup competitions and you're seeing just that and here Miami is super deep Zazz is a season ticket holder and he literally how to navigate seasons that have a lot of cup competitions, and you're seeing just that. Inter-Miami is super deep. Zazz is a season ticket holder, and he literally got up and left while I was speaking. He did, and he said. Someone bought his seat. He said moments ago, I had to go to an Inter-Miami game,
Starting point is 00:31:17 as if he was obligated, and then seconds later, he had to go. He left the room in the middle of what it is that we're doing. He hit us with, I gotta jump on a meeting. Yeah, I'm going to my first Inter Miami match of the season on Saturday. I'm not paying for it.
Starting point is 00:31:31 MLS is inviting me, but I'm gonna get to see what my old seats look like now. It'll be kind of sad. Sorry. I'll put the mic on there. Look at me moving. I'm excited for this competition and I don't know how many people will watch it without
Starting point is 00:31:46 messing in it because it did feel like an event last year. I do feel like people were tuning in out of the curiosity to see Messi in that shirt for the first time, but it's a damn good competition. Is there any particular reason that you made the distinction of I didn't pay for tickets, I didn't do anything? Because the tickets are really expensive. Other than get invited by MLS. Yeah, because I stopped being a season ticket holder
Starting point is 00:32:11 because I got priced out. It'd be weird if I all of a sudden just bought tickets again. It's not just a principled stand, it's an economic stand. I can't go to these games for the seats that I got used to. I don't want to pile around in the upper deck so you were really making a distinction in the event that someone called you out on the inconsistency of you got priced out on tickets you decided to not support the franchise anymore with your dollars because you got priced out and you were you were basically filing that as a
Starting point is 00:32:43 countermeasure against future criticism for going to a game? I'm not sure how much criticism I would get I don't I don't I genuinely don't think people care at all certainly in this office about Inter Miami but I would it's legit I got priced out and I'm sad about it's not like I stopped following the team I was like Zazz of founding season it the first time I was changing my baby I fielded a call from a from a ticket rep and I'm like I'll be with you in one second These tickets are really important to me because I think Messi's gonna be here So I'm bummed that that I'm not a season ticket holder anymore than that
Starting point is 00:33:18 I got priced out but I'm happy that the team is still winning and navigating this messy injury quite well Do you have the group, do you have an opinion on the local sports fan who buys tickets the way Stugatz bought tickets to the 2010 Miami Heat only with the intention of profiting off of every ticket and with no intention whatsoever at any point of going to the game, so much so, that he just spat at us a form of,
Starting point is 00:33:48 I had to go to the game, as if he was given some sort of incarceration sentence. I'm just, I have so much regret, because this is such a much better tie-in to game time than grilling. Really had to reach for that one. Tony, you're getting a lot of support. I still say, Juju, please put it on the poll,
Starting point is 00:34:07 better grilling experience, propane or charcoal, because while I am nobody's idea of a cook, I was just under the certainty that charcoal was better. But a lot of people are agreeing with you, Tony, that the grill is indeed a dad purchase. Thank you. Billy, I'm sorry. It's a dad purchase after you already,
Starting point is 00:34:27 it's after you already have children. It's not like, you wouldn't say I made a dad purchase before your child was born, it's a barbecue while you're still trying to get your child set up. It's a griddle, it's not a barbecue, it's a griddle. But no, anything can be anything. I can have a dad purchase be a grill, what does it matter to you?
Starting point is 00:34:43 I'm kinda surprised you didn't go with Judo or karate for your drag like don't you cover MMA? Yeah, but one of the A's in MMA. No, it's no it's not it's one of the M and A's Yeah, well, it's actually all three. It's not one of the only mix them all up You got a little more but these are like it's like a deconstructed mix martial arts weird after taking out I have the sudden urge to watch judo a sudden urge I think you'll like judo judo very much as a visual experience well I'm familiar I I like the meme of the Brazilian jujitsu guy when someone breaks into his house I like that he's already on his back you can't get back on the ground with somebody who knows you so I am now
Starting point is 00:35:24 reconciling publicly with the fact that I thought I was on the alpha brain brand. That wasn't the Joe Rogan endorsed alpha brain, but Tony, it's not his endorse. It's his, it's his company. And I've already purchased one of his jeans after seeing him kick a bet, a heavy punching bag with it. I'm like, wow, those jeans look incredible if I ever learn how to kick like that. And now that I'm on an alpha brain, I actually if I ever learn how to kick like that. And now that I'm on AlphaBrain, I actually think I might be able to kick like that
Starting point is 00:35:47 and also shrink maybe a foot and a half. How's the AlphaBrain experience going for you? So I didn't, the first day that I took it, I actually felt kind of foggy. But then I realized I was on the boat all day doing some day drinking, getting a lot of sun the previous day, so that might've been it. The second day I was on the boat all day doing some day drinking, getting a lot of sun the previous day. So that might've been it. The second day I was trying it,
Starting point is 00:36:07 I felt like I had a decent day on the show. I was saying words and not just stumbling over myself. I picked up my daughter, I started cooking food, I made an incredible meal, I was putting clothes away, and I called my grandma in a moment that I 100% would have forgotten to call her in, and I was doing all these things at the exact same time. I realized this is probably the alpha brain.
Starting point is 00:36:30 So yesterday I played sports for the first time on alpha brain. Guys, this should be illegal. My reaction time was that of a cat, a 39 year old cat, but a cat, much better than creaky old Mike that can't actually get around to certain things. Actually stopped like a four game losing streak out there. I'm the oldest guy in my game by like a good eight years. After three days, you have felt the effects. This sounds like a paid
Starting point is 00:36:53 advertisement. This sounds like an endorsement for Joe Rogan's Alpha Brain. And also have you even considered that the Biden ticket should be, you know, it's a little bit fraudulent. A lot of people donated to Joe Biden and not Kamala Harris. Nobody actually voted for her. I've been told that Pete Rose is shaving and he's next. Hey, it's Mike Ryan. How do you like to grill your barbecue? Tell me. I'll be quiet.
Starting point is 00:37:18 I'll stand back. I'll listen for approximately two and a half seconds. Wow. A lot of great suggestions in there. Let me give you a suggestion. I need everybody in the audience to pair their barbecue with Miller Lite. I've been doing a lot of travel lately and I really reveled in the fact that I got to stay home with my family. It was hot out, it was a perfect day for the pool, and what goes good with that?
Starting point is 00:37:40 Miller time, of course, you know that's what I was getting at. I don't like debates, and that's why I go with Miller Lite, because it's got undebatable quality.

It's the light beer with the most taste, less filling, at only 96 calories. That is perfect for when you're eating some barbecue outside with your family.
