The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBattard podcast.
Starting point is 00:00:52 I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face and the habitual liar.
Starting point is 00:01:12 One of the best things about sitting alone, and there aren't many, because I don't love to be alone, is that I get to decide when we can talk movies. And I get to fart. I'm not a big farter, I'm a burper. People have always known that about me. It's very strange actually. Everybody knows that about you?
Starting point is 00:01:30 Yeah, they do. How do you control your farts versus your burps? I just, I don't have, my gas goes north, not south. Oh. Straight from all them jelly beans you be eating nowadays, bruh. It could be. I have, I thought that I could whip out the candy,
Starting point is 00:01:44 but I'm not that hungry thanks to the great waffles and eggs I had prior. But I get to talk movies and there's no one I'd rather talk movies with than Adnan. And guess what Adnan, welcome to the show. Adnan of course you watch one MLB network, you listen to his Cinephile pod and we have no one to say they don't want to talk about what we want to talk about. And guess what? I'm in charge. We're going all day. David, I love this is when adversaries become friends, right? Foes become accomplices because you are right.
Starting point is 00:02:14 We have the same mind. We want to talk movies. We want to talk baseball, the hell and everything else. So thanks so much for having me on the show. And congrats to all you guys. I watched the sex therapist asking for a friend. Just want to double check. Gooch's perineum on the East Coast,ats to all you guys. I watched the sex therapist asking for a friend. Just want to double check. Gooch's perineum on the East Coast, right?
Starting point is 00:02:28 Yes, sir. How did I know that you would have to watch that segment? Yeah, that's honestly, I've been really busy. We covered a lot of ground at then. It was a baseball Wimbledon, but I did squeeze in time for 15 minutes of Amber. She was terrific. So, except that's not her name.
Starting point is 00:02:43 So I really appreciate it. But I like the fact you mentioned Dr. Ruth's. Good throwback to bringing in Dr. Ruth, by the way. That was great. It got me thinking about movies with sexy scenes. There's a lot of scenes. I don't mean sex scenes, though you could interpret it that way. I want to give you a top five list,
Starting point is 00:03:03 and I want you guys to think about it, and you guys are gonna be engaged here even you guys the top five sexiest scenes in any movie. Hey, I'm listening. Are we ready? Yes, sir. Ski Adnan. I bet. David, you can just tell the entire audience just perked up.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Everyone did that big lean into the chair like, OK, these guys are messing around today. I am ready. Top five sexiest scenes in movies. You're starting. Oh, wow. We're doing different. Oh, my god.
Starting point is 00:03:32 We're not going to cut you off this time. I'm running. I'm your captain now. I love it. You're starting. OK, so this is one that only David's going to appreciate. And the heck with everybody who's not going to appreciate. But David Will, 1981, body heat. Heat William Hurt the late William Hurt smashing the glass to attack
Starting point is 00:03:49 Kathleen Turner I mean it's borderline assault but it's an unbelievable scene of just just carnal instinct and human sexuality taking over it's a great film noir from Lawrence Kasdan Body Heat Bill Hurt, Catherine Turner. Back me up, David. That's a really, really good movie. It's old, but it's a movie. That movie probably ages only okay, but that scene ages really well. Well said. Number four, this one a little bit more current.
Starting point is 00:04:17 I know the rest of the crew has seen this one. Black Swan, okay? We want to make sure we include same-sex romance. So we've got Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, little girl on girl action, very, very hot scene. I don't think you have to put same-sex in a top five list. It just happens to be a really sexy scene. That's a tough movie to watch.
Starting point is 00:04:37 That's a movie you'd like to re-watch movies with great sexy scenes. That's one I've watched one time, Black Swan. I went down that as well. I've seen it once, it's too unnerving. It's too claustrophobic. Aronofsky, a great director, obviously. She deserved the Oscar part, but you're right. It's a tough watch to watch over and over.
Starting point is 00:04:50 But hell of a scene. Number three, Oldie Bitty Goody from 1990. That's right, it's Ghost. Patrick Swayze and Jimmy Moore playing with the pottery. Who doesn't get all the feels watching that scene? Very erotic. Every time I see someone taking a pottery class, I'm thinking of Ghost.
Starting point is 00:05:05 I think that's the most copied, sexy scene of any movie. I think there's so many movies where they do a takeoff of the pottery scene and Patrick Swayze behind Demi Moore and showing her how to form a pot. I've been in pottery classes in high school and I gotta tell you, it wasn't exactly like that. Where is my Demi Moore? David Samson was crying out.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Number two, Halle Berry won an Academy Award Monsters Ball. I want you to feel good. I want you to feel good. Her and Billy Bob Thornton going at it. I'm like, Juju, back me up. Halle Berry Monsters Ball. Forget about it. She won an Oscar, but that scene is unbelievable. Yes, sir. That living room was going down.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Oh, it's been some weird segments, but I'm about in. That living room, it was, I'm with you, big bruh. That may be the sexiest scene for an Oscar winner in the hit. That would be a different top five. She did win an Oscar for that role. And that scene, I thought when I first watched Monsters Ball, that they were really doing it. Yeah. And they did. We could use a
Starting point is 00:06:15 frame by frame analysis to be a good excuse to do for homework and such. But it's definitely they're moving positions around. It's very aggressive and Billy Bob's a method actor, so wouldn't be out of the question. All right, next. Number one, I think this is unquestionable number one, David. I don't know how we're gonna top this. Sharon Stone uncrossed her legs in Basic Instinct. I mean, the entire audience was like Wayne Knight,
Starting point is 00:06:38 better known as Newman from Seinfeld. The way he's, you know, the sweats for me, staring in there, this obese grotesque man just staring at Sharon Stone cross your legs. Unbelievable scene. We've all seen it. Is Basic Instinct a movie that you've not seen, Lucy? Nope.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Have you ever heard of it? No, I haven't really been listening this whole segment though. I'm a little uncomfortable. It's been a little weird. This is kind of a weird birthday. It got weird when, at an end to end, little girl on girl action.
Starting point is 00:07:03 That was the moment where I checked in. Yeah, that's what you were hearing the other day. Not the moment where I checked in. I'm glad you weren't here the other day. That's not the phrase I would have used. I don't want to make it uncomfortable. Lonnie used it as an excuse for inclusivity too. Right. I don't believe that Basic Instincts is a movie that people have not heard of, but I guess I'm wrong.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Michael Douglas, Sharon Stone, and there's an interrogation scene, and she is wearing a very famous white one-piece dress, and my favorite part of that movie is that scene where she says, where she's told there's no smoking in here. And she says, what are you gonna do? Charge me with smoking? I've used that line before very often.
Starting point is 00:07:37 All right, I'm gonna do a top five for you. And I'm slightly concerned now that we've lost birthday Lucy. Oh, you already lost me, don't worry about it. You guys do your thing, I'll see you in five minutes. Come back. I want inclusivity. She wants to talk Paul Skeens. Always have, Livi Dunn's boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:07:53 That's right. 99 pitches, 7 no hit innings. I hope he starts the All-Star Game. Billy if you want me to talk Skeens I'll talk Skeens all day. He's going to start the All-Star Game. I expect it to be announced shortly. I find that to be a mismatch. The whole Skeens-Livvy match. Yeah, she's way out of his league. Top five sexiest Skeens. It reminds me if she's out of my league.
Starting point is 00:08:13 It's Alice Eve situation. I've seen that movie. Do you love that movie? Yeah, I like the Hall and Oates joke. It makes me laugh. I love that you like Hall and Oates. That is a top five list. Another one, sad breakups.
Starting point is 00:08:26 The Colin Oates breakup makes me sad. Yeah. My parents. I put them on that list. Out of Touch, all-time great song. I don't put my parents. I wonder whether my kids put me. My guess is they don't, but maybe. Number five, another movie I love called The Notebook. Nice. There is a love scene in the rain with Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams
Starting point is 00:08:52 where she jumps into his arms and it's I've always wanted to recreate it, but A, I'm normally the one who jumps into someone else's arms, and B, I don't wanna be outside when it rains. I can't believe Rachel McAdams is like 46. I saw the other day, I was like, Rachel McAdams, I think she's 46 or 47 years old.
Starting point is 00:09:12 I couldn't believe it. That sounds high, Billy. I'll double check. She's 45 years old, wow, Billy, you nailed it. She did a great job on the movie, the TV show, Dave too. She did an episode with Dave. That was by her. She's on a couple with Dave.
Starting point is 00:09:26 She's his dream girl. And she, the little Dicky, I love little Dicky and I love Dave and I hope there's a new season. And I hope Rachel McAdams isn't, but she's the dream girl. Everybody's dream girl. Number four, out of sight. No, George Clooney. George Clooney, prior to any any any editorials and Jennifer
Starting point is 00:09:47 Lopez prior to doing documentaries and getting 29 divorces it's an outstanding movie and the scene when they are in the trunk together. Yeah, maybe one is the number 4 sexy scene of any movie ever if you haven't watched it so to Berg please watch out of sight. Definitely both of them have their most charismatic. David, you're right, it's a great film. Ben Mankiewicz, my old buddy,
Starting point is 00:10:10 who is one of the hosts of TCM Turner Classic movies. This guy's seen more movies than anybody. He lists Out of Sight, which is one of his top 10 movies of all time, and that scene in particular is a great one. Awesome movie. Number three, it's part of a trilogy. It's a movie called Before Sunrise. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Before Sunrise is with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy and there's a scene in that movie when they are laying down together as their night ends that they've spent together. There's no sex involved. It is a very sexy scene and it is one of the catalysts that gave me the reputation that I have as a hand holder. I'm a hand holder. I'm I like everyone knows that I like
Starting point is 00:10:50 those moments, I'm a hugger I like the connectivity and the connection between Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy in that scene in that movie that to me was outstanding. David's love language physical touch now that we all know that I really it's a great trilogy. Obviously, Linklid are a wonderful director, Hitman currently available on Netflix. Love, Ethan Hawke.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Great movie. Of the three, I like the second one the best, Before Sunset. But Before Sunrise is great, too. David's other love languages, thong flip-flops. Back to you, then. I do. I have a very good thong tan.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Number two. Brokeback Mountain. Nice. The scene where they first kiss in the tent. I am not, I'm not gay. I'm straight and I got to tell you I'm looking at that and I'm thinking I've never felt that. Little boy on boy action. And I've wanted first, I love first kisses who doesn't you want as many as you can that first kiss never say anything like it's beautiful. It's definitely a great film it should have won best picture
Starting point is 00:11:54 over crash that year which I was really surprised by that pick and that's another tough movie to watch that so heartbreaking so sad but that moment obviously very passionate to great actors the late Heath Ledger and of course Jason Hall thank you still with us. Yes he is, he's in a new episode of Presumed Innocent dropped. I don't like watching shows that drop once a week.
Starting point is 00:12:12 That's my new decision. Apple Plus. Presumed Innocent, excellent right now. It's outstanding. And it's back. I wanna watch it all at once. I also salute to Max, we love you. Which Max? The one we're on right now, salute to you. Oh, yeah, the channel.
Starting point is 00:12:26 I thought there was a person, another person in Medi-Lar. Same idea with Max. Max is a good dog name. Classic dog name. I have an uncle Max. Really? His name is Richard, but he's called Max. It's better than Dick.
Starting point is 00:12:40 I don't know. Uncle Dick. Exactly. Well, I don't know how Richard became Dick, but we can talk about that later. I can't believe this is the first time, Adnan, that we've done this. The first time that we have a top five list
Starting point is 00:12:52 and we have the same number one. Oh my God, yes. Sharon Stone. That has to mean it's the number one sexiest scene of all time, the Sharon Stone interrogation. We're Based Against Sex. Brothers, salute, that's a very sexy scene. But I wanna, just for the younger guys,
Starting point is 00:13:07 around the world, put hair on my chest, wild things. That was a lot going on when I was a boy. Not stillin', not stillin' next year. Wild things, you feel me? Unfaithful with Diane Lang too when she became unfaithful. Whoa! I'm not saying great, but alert. Also Betty White in Bring It Down the House in that nightgown. Oh, no, a great one. Spoiler alert. Also Betty White in bringing down the house in that nightgown.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Oh, no, jeez, Betty White. Not a great one, but it was so good till just now. Oh, no, you know, choose. You might as well mention the American pie. Jason Biggs with a pie. That's disgusting. Not the pie. A little earlier.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Not the pie. I can't say I learned anything during that scene in American Pie, but I did see that it just celebrated its 25th or 45th or some long anniversary, which made me worried. 45th anniversary. How many? 25th, 1999 it came out.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Also when I was a kid, Fast Times at Ridgemont High? Yes. Come on guys. Baby Cates. When I was a kid though. I went and bought the Cars album after Fast Times at Ridgemont High because moving in stereo is playing during that album, during that scene when Phoebe Cates,
Starting point is 00:14:10 who's married to Kevin Kline now, I hope you've heard of any of these people. The scene where she opens the bikini is simply when you know. It's just, people say when you know, you know about love, about various things. That's Jennifer Jason Lee, yes, Judge Reinhold.
Starting point is 00:14:27 You dig me? Judge Reinhold, good reference. Currently on Beverly Hills, got back to F, speaking of nostalgia. David, a little surprise, neither of us got nine and a half weeks in there. Mickey Rourke. So I like the ice scene.
Starting point is 00:14:39 I really do like the ice scene, actually. It just didn't make my top five. What a thing when you're writing a movie. I'm Wolf of Wall Street, guys. It just didn't make my top five. What a thing when you're writing a movie. Wolf of Wall Street guys. Marco Robby. Marco Robby. Leonardo DiCaprio crawling. I was like 18 when that came out.
Starting point is 00:14:52 That's prime then. Yeah, it was influential. Did you want to be Jordan Belfort or Leonardo DiCaprio? Cause that says a lot about a person. Yeah, didn't ever want to be Jordan Belfort based off the way I feel about economics. But outside of that, Leo DiCaprio, yeah, sure. In that moment, certainly.
Starting point is 00:15:12 I don't know if he has a great life, Leonardo DiCaprio. I feel bad for him all the time. Isn't that strange? I do too. I don't. You don't ever? No. He's fine. No, great life.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Billy, he's dating women half his age, you always get to work with Scorsese, the best director in the world. Leo's got the life. Come on, how could you feel sorry for him? I feel like people are not necessarily as happy as you think they are because you see them on screen and with beautiful women.
Starting point is 00:15:35 There we are, South Beach Sessions this week with the one and only coach of the Miami Dolphins, Mike Daniels. That's coming up today. Yes, sir. Thank you for that. Dan likes that. I wonder whether Mike is going to do anything of note.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Do you think Dan will put him on the couch? I think so. He's such a great personality. I can't wait to tune in. I actually want to watch that one because Dan may get Mike to do things that Mike doesn't want to do. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:02 It's not a mean in that way. I'm saying in terms of the way Dan gets people to say things. Off the heels of that list, and you say that, I don't know what's going on anymore. There's a lot going on. There's sexiness on your mind. I don't know what's going on here. Adnan, Verk, Cinephile, it's a podcast.
Starting point is 00:16:16 We do top fives from time to time. I appreciate your time. Thank you, Adnan. David, this was great fun, man. Thank you for having me. And one more thought for you. Rachel McAdams, About Time. I know it's one of your favorites. Oh, that movie great fun, man. Thank you for having me. And one more thought for you. Rachel McAdams, About Time. I know it's one of your favorites.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Oh, that movie makes me cry so hard. Every time. Thanks, boys. The Dan LeBoutard Show with Stu Gotz is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Don Lebatard. During one long evening at the Burton's, Robert sent their guest, Tennessee Williams,
Starting point is 00:18:37 and director Joseph Lozey running for the door. But in Burton's words, she insulted Rex, she's talking about Rex Harrison, Rex sexually, sexually morally physically Lay on the floor in the bar and bark like a dog started to masturbate her basset hound Jesus Christ This is the book and I'm like, how do I you know cuz to cause to Mike's point, he's asked to know I read the book. Well, okay, listen, I highlighted this part. So you know, I read it.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Spoo gots. Have you ever met Mike before today? No, no first meeting. So your thing is in the first five minutes, let's talk about dog masturbation and trap. Because I knew he would be able to relate to the subject matter. He would know what it's like because he's a guest on a show and the guy's trying to impress him because okay, what's going to go with. So I figured masturbating a basset hound was definitely something he could at least appreciate weird assumption to make Was he right or wrong?
Starting point is 00:19:35 I'm gonna say he was wrong. Oh This is the Dan LeVatar show with the Stookats Let's do this! Et cetera. Something happened and came to my attention yesterday. It was a weird night for me. It was one of my sleepless nights. I was in the Elstor, I got zero sleep. Zero minutes of sleep last night, which happens way more often than I'd like to acknowledge. This week had been decent. I got two to three each night.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Last night was a zero. Well, what do you do? Like, do you have coffee? Do you have, like, sugar? Never had a cup in my life. What? Really? I've never had a cup of coffee in my life. No caffeine.
Starting point is 00:20:30 How are you functioning? How are you alive? I, how? Yeah, like, how are you here today with us, with no sleep ever? And two hours is a good night? Cause that's what it is. I get, I watch a lot of movies and I do a lot of reading.
Starting point is 00:20:43 And I think about nothing personal or I think about this show. I'm always thinking about things that can be done. I love going out onto the balcony here and seeing the quiet of the night. I happen to love the quiet of the night. It's amazing that reading doesn't put you to sleep though, considering the lack of sleep that you're getting.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Cause for me, if I'm, gosh, sometimes even when I don't realize I'm tired, if I start reading a book, I'll start nodding off. Just because it's such a. It's not a book that I read though. It's the phone. See, that's the problem. You gotta get a book. A physical book with, you know, yellowish pages,
Starting point is 00:21:20 like old pages that you could just look at the text. It might help you unwind your mind a little bit and go to bed. Because if you're on your phone, you have no interest in getting sleep. I view sleep, I hate sleep. I hate my bed, I hate all beds. The Elstor bed is uncomfortable, but so is my own bed.
Starting point is 00:21:37 But it's a great hotel. Yeah, I love it here. I absolutely love it here, but I don't enjoy anybody's bed. I've told you guys that I view my bed as like the devil opening its arms when I get into bed, where some people view it as an angel, that they're going into a heavenly puffy place.
Starting point is 00:21:52 I view it with smoke and fire and embers. So you don't- Speaking of smoke, have you considered the now legal in New York, Samira Joanna, to help you- Could help. Go to sleep. Dun sleep gummies?
Starting point is 00:22:04 No, not gummies. I'm talking about ganja. Oh, the actual flower? Yeah, Snoop Dogg style. No, and I wouldn't do that, but wouldn't that set off a smoke alarm? No, but I'll have. You can't smoke in your house anyway, follow the rules.
Starting point is 00:22:17 There's definitely no smoking in the house. So last night, what was particularly upsetting, and I'm not Dan, that's for sure, he's way more worried about stuff than I am, and maybe rightly so. But I'm very bothered about violence at sporting events. I was not, it struck me hard what happened, and I got some negative attention,
Starting point is 00:22:40 and I wanna see where you guys, where my blind spot is here, because my view is players cannot go into the stands. I don't care why. And the criticism that I've received is they're protecting their family. You can do anything you want to protect your family. Where, where, where did I go wrong on that? I mean, if I see my, if I'm a player and I see somebody up there, even thinking
Starting point is 00:23:04 about looking like they feel to touch my mom Or dad or my little brother, but it's a problem. So I I don't have the same opinion as you bro I'm jumping in the crowd. I don't give a damn if it's okay who it is You don't touch my mama is smoke regardless and I'm coming up there. I Don't think you should be allowed. There's security to do it There are people who are supposed to be there to protect the families. But sometimes they're not doing their job.
Starting point is 00:23:28 You're looking at your mom and dad. Yeah, that happens. I'm sure. That happens all the time in all sorts of different places. Like if my family's in trouble, I'm at least trying to step in where I can. And now I'm also a bit of a coward. And so I say that, right, theoretically.
Starting point is 00:23:43 I don't know if I would actually do it if I was in harm's way or what the situation is. It might depend, but I think in the scenario that we're throwing out there, like if I'm an athlete and I can go protect my family in a situation, that's the first thing I'm doing, especially when we see all the examples of security guards like shying away from that confrontation.
Starting point is 00:24:02 What if you were at a heat game in the spot, you sit where you got caught with the finger in the mouth, and you just looked over, and someone was tugging on your wife. Yeah, I'm running up there. Exactly, that's where you're not conscuring. I'm angry immediately. No, I'm not, because then how long is that gonna take?
Starting point is 00:24:16 You're right. It's supposed to happen fast is the point. I might not try to have a physical confrontation. I would hope to avoid that, but I'm, it's a good example. I immediately, my blood's boiling, even just thinking about it. We still have your top five things of people
Starting point is 00:24:30 you'd confront if you were larger. We have to get to later in the show. I do have a top five of people I'd confront and the things they'd do if I were larger. And it would not be someone who's going after my family as an athlete because I wanna believe that I can run a facility where I'm gonna protect it. So last night I was thinking about this
Starting point is 00:24:46 and thinking about am I wrong here? And then I get to the next video, every day there's something where in Brazil, forget fighting, this was an actual shooting, which it happens more often than I'd like to acknowledge, the police shot one of the players. This is, look, if you're not on YouTube, this is an actual shot being fired.
Starting point is 00:25:13 It was a rubber bullet, doesn't matter to me. It pierced the skin and there was blood. The goalie went down, stumbled down after this, and it got me thinking, and this was part of the problem last night, this is around a three to four a.m. situation when this is in my head. What would I be doing?
Starting point is 00:25:33 I do that a lot. What would I be doing? This is my stadium, this is my team, this is my player. And the police here in the U.S., we pay the police to be at the games. That's part of the expense of the team, is you pay police to be inside the ballpark and you pay the police who are outside the ballpark as well.
Starting point is 00:25:52 You certainly pay CSC, the ushers, the security people. And the fact that there is a shooting going on is a way to keep the peace because everyone is going so crazy about the game, whatever the case may be, it gave me pause to think that maybe our problems are way deeper than climate change. You can say that again, bro.
Starting point is 00:26:16 For real. And that began to make me wonder whether Dan had it wrong. That it's not necessarily the hurricanes and the temperature of the ocean. It's the fact that violence, for whatever reason, has become somebody's love language. Right. My love language is touching.
Starting point is 00:26:39 That's my love language. I'm talking flip-flops. Who's flip-flops? Who's love language is violence? Why is that a love language? I got some homeboys just like it, bro. I got some homeboys and they're not here anymore. Some of them, some of them are still here.
Starting point is 00:26:52 They just, they come up on their own and so they defend, they got so much pride and they can't even let nobody step on their shoe without showing you who they could be. And it's just, it's a killer, you're right. I think we need a little more finesse. And sleep. So, sleep doesn't, but no.
Starting point is 00:27:10 I'm not violent because I don't sleep. If you were asleep you would have been, yeah. You think that tiredness and violence are correlated? No, I think if you were asleep you wouldn't have had any of these thoughts. If I get angry I'm ready to shoot somebody. I don't think so. What?
Starting point is 00:27:24 I mean, obviously it's a joke, but like, if you can get impatient, like I get incredibly impatient if I'm just like too hungry. So if I'm lacking, if I were sleeping the amount that you were, I would be a totally different person. I would be infuriated all the time. Have you not found the right bed or pillow? I've tried, I am the guy, Jeff Bezos, shout out to you man.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Thank you, thank you for enabling a new pillow or a new, I once bought, if you've seen this, it's this weighted, heavy blanket that's supposed to help you sleep. Have you ever seen one of those? Those are the best. Didn't help me. Really?
Starting point is 00:28:02 Gave it away. Have you gone to a doctor? No. Okay, well, let me start with that. Seems like a start. What am I gonna do, a Pablo CPAP machine? I don't know what happened to ya. Well, you've never been to a doctor, you don't know. Well, I go to doctors all the time.
Starting point is 00:28:15 But for this reason. Wait, you didn't mean a doctor. Like, no, I mean going to like someone who specializes in like sleep. What are they gonna do? They're gonna run tests, because you probably have no idea what's wrong. And they're gonna run tests,
Starting point is 00:28:30 and maybe they'll find something that can work for you. I think it's therapy. And then you'll sleep, and then you'll be like, oh my God, I'm the happiest person in the world. I wanna spend money and help people. Maybe you'll start farting. And do wonderful things, and you'll fart, and you'll eat stuff that's other than candy.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Your life could completely change. If you just went to a doctor, said, hey, I cannot sleep, it would be cool if you could help me and they probably will and you're rich so you can go to the good doctor. Good question, I have the same insurance you do. I don't wanna concern you and I don't wanna be too like morbid here. I am slightly concerned
Starting point is 00:29:00 at the moment. Aren't you worried you're gonna die? I think about that every day but but that is nothing in typical, we're all gonna die. Act accordingly. No, but this isn't healthy for your body. The body. Shakur Stevenson fights too, turn that on and try to lay down.
Starting point is 00:29:14 What are you doing there? I would simply ask you this, do you find me, and I'm specifically speaking to you, Lucy, who's concerned about me, and I want to tell you I appreciate your concern, do you find me to be a down person, sort of tired and dragging and depressed and woe is me guy?
Starting point is 00:29:30 No, more manic. And that's also not a good thing. But it doesn't manic mean up and down? Manic is like mania. And so bipolar is up and down. Manic is like a really up high state. And so you don't wanna be just just up all the time and sleep can really help regulate that. Some people I'm sure out there can like live life
Starting point is 00:29:50 on two hours of sleep. That's a super rare thing so maybe you go see a specialist so you can confirm hey you are just like an insane human specimen that doesn't need sleep or you go to the doctor and they say we can help you we're gonna help you get sleep and and then your life changes, and then maybe you don't feel so anxious all the time. Yep. I appreciate, I'm loving the love on your birthday, you're sending me the love.
Starting point is 00:30:12 I don't find that my life is deleteriously impacted in any way by my habits. Well, you just talked about how you think about dying all the time, and I think that's probably related. Oh, I think that's just being Jewish. No, that's fair. I don't think that is actually related. Oh, I think that's just being Jewish. Yeah, that's fair. I don't think that is actually true.
Starting point is 00:30:26 We automatically have a little extra anxiety. Right, so I don't think there's a doctor for that and if there is, I've been to her and him and them. Try being black. But I think you are in the stage of where a superhero, right before he realizes he got powers. Like you might need to go to the doctor because not sleeping, I don't know, bro.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Maybe you got a super thing going on right now. Yeah, we could get a little serum from you so that we could all potentially have an extra power. I don't wanna be in the position though where I would look at the video of the violence in the stands or someone being shot or the issues that I think about where sleep would make it so I don't have the capacity
Starting point is 00:31:05 or the time to think about them. I don't think it'll take away the capacity to think about those things. I think it'll just help ease your mind a little bit because we should think about the things that are bad in the world, but we don't need to think about them all the time and they don't need to consume us all.
Starting point is 00:31:22 I'm not consumed by it. Well, you're staying up late at night and you're thinking about really sad things. But let me ask you, what's the difference between thinking about it at 3 p.m. or 3 a.m.? Is it not the same level of being consumed by it if it's one hour? Are you always thinking about it at 3 p.m.?
Starting point is 00:31:36 No, no, I'm saying, if it's just an hour a day, what's the difference what hour it is? If you're sleeping, you're not thinking about it. Well you schedule your sad hours for the middle of the night No, I don't it just so happens last night was that if I hadn't seen that video I will admit that there is something that's happened that has definitely hurt me and that is social media put the phone down David This I don't put the I I'm always looking for content You want me to set a screen a screen time parental control on your phone for you? Like I'll be the only one that knows the password?
Starting point is 00:32:06 I don't even look at that. I don't wanna look. I don't wanna know what my screen time is. No, no, no, I'm gonna set, I will give me your phone and I'll set like a maximum amount of time you can spend. Wait, will it turn the phone off? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:16 No. Oh yeah. And then the next day you can get it again when you're a good boy. Yeah, that's how it works. I am a good boy. You earn your screen time. I'm not out doing bad things in the middle of the night. Just for yourself. Maybe to myself.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Yeah, exactly. That's it. Do you have like a mindfulness activity? Like something that you do that's not screen related, not sad related, something that your brain just kind of shuts off. Like when I paint, I don't have one thought in this brain for hours, and it's awesome.
Starting point is 00:32:49 And then I'm done painting and I'm like, oh my God, it's been seven hours and I haven't thought one time and it kicks ass. I used to work at a bakery and I used to ice the cookies. I only worked for a week, I got fired. I'm showing up late. No, no, but I would ice. I showed up late.
Starting point is 00:33:04 Okay, so here's the thing. I showed up late. How many times? Okay, I only worked there a week, I got fired. I'm showing up late. No, no, no, but I would, I showed up late. Okay, so here's the thing. I showed up late. How many times? Okay, I only worked there a week, so a couple times. But here's the thing. They said, you need to be there at 7 a.m. That is the time that you'll, I know, that's way too early.
Starting point is 00:33:16 I said, I can do 7 a.m. So I show up at 7 a.m. And they say, when we say 7 a.m., we mean you need to be here at 6.50. I said, then just say 6.50. Which they did and you still relate the second time. Because I can't vibe with that. I think that's really-
Starting point is 00:33:30 Why would you work for a bakery? You know you make the donuts in the middle of the night and bakeries all start early in the morning. If you're not a morning person, that may be again a great top five. What job shouldn't you take if you're not a morning person? How about a live show at 9 a.m.? Trust me, I have asked Dan so many times,
Starting point is 00:33:45 hey, can we push this back a couple hours? And he says, I don't have any power here. I said, your name is everywhere. I think you have a little bit of power here. When I was younger, I took a job at Old Navy, like a holiday person, and my first day, I folded a whole thing of shirts, and then I was like, damn, bro, I'm a great folder.
Starting point is 00:34:03 And then this little kid came over and just picked up four shirts and just threw them back on the pot. I quit right then and there. I just told him, I can't do this. Walk straight out. Yep, no check or nothing. Don't even pay me, I'm good. What do you think about when you run?
Starting point is 00:34:16 I think about my plan for the day. What I'm doing. I made a lot of Marlin's decisions while running. A lot. There's a level of clarity that can come with running. I understand that. But if that is not your moment to be mindful of just being able to sort of clear your mind,
Starting point is 00:34:33 it would be great, as Lucy suggested, having some sort of something, whether it's meditation, whether it's reading a book, and I know meditation could be frustrating. I'm someone, my mind raises. I tried yoga, it didn't work, I can't touch my toes. But that's different, that's different than meditation. You're not going to the first day. You work up to that. Right. You see, lasted a week. What? That was a bakery, not yoga.
Starting point is 00:34:51 And that was just working at a bakery and I didn't like the job and it wasn't the right fit for me. Okay? And it was during COVID. I couldn't find another job. I was just doing the best I can, given the situation I was in. But I found another mindful activity that wasn't icing cookies, it was painting and doing my little crafts, and they're awesome, and they keep me sane and grounded. So I think maybe you should try to find out a little activity. Are they for sale?
Starting point is 00:35:13 My crafts? Yes. Some of them. Do you have a website that I could talk about and bring people to? No. Are you interested in becoming some sort of artiste? No.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Speaking of artiste, speaking of artist artist, Angel Reese is an artist. She continued the streak, she stretched the streak again last night against the New York Liberty, who got in their behind, you feel me? They defended their home court. Last time they played, it was a bit of a spanking on the Chicago side, so they came out and played very well. But Angel Reese, she extended her double-double streak
Starting point is 00:35:44 to 15 games now, in which she has already set the record. So she's just building on top of it on top at this point. You saw that game, let's see. It seems to me that she will never not get a double-double again. She's at 15, I think. Last night was close, though. I think it's gonna go to 40.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Last night was a bit of a struggle to get it. Like she got it in the fourth quarter in crunch time, type of, you know what I mean? She didn't go off the backboard, did she? Nah, nah. How would you feel if her double double streak gets extended? I'm asking the group here because I have a thought on this when if you miss a shot off the backboard on purpose
Starting point is 00:36:15 to get your rebound, to get the 10th rebound to keep the double double streak alive. Where's your head on that? Heady move, heady play. Wasn't it like two games ago also that she had, it was like free throws with like six seconds left in the game or something? Right, and her mama was stressed out.
Starting point is 00:36:28 I was stressed right with her, dawg. Was it like the Jose Reyes laying down a bunt to win the batting title? I have no problem with that. Right. I have no problem with that at all. I feel similarly. No problem with people going for the triple double
Starting point is 00:36:38 who set it up. If you wanna throw it off the backboard, I'm in. I feel the same way. I have a question for you. You were in the Marlins organization at this time. How did you feel when Luis Castillo's hit streak ended with him on deck? Despondent.
Starting point is 00:36:52 The story is Tim Reigns had a sacrifice fly to end the game. That's controllable. You can control that. You fired the third base coach. No, we didn't fire anyone because that, back in that day, we were in touch with the dugout. And we told, it was Torborg was the manager.
Starting point is 00:37:14 And we said, win the game. And so they got word to Reigns because Reigns wanted to know what the play was. Do we get Luis Castillo another bat? He had, I want to, a 35 game hit streak, I don't remember the exact number. Yes, I think the best of this century, isn't it? No, I think Chase Utley beat it a couple years later.
Starting point is 00:37:30 I think there's been a 44. And then there was like a weird Jimmy Rollins one season to the next, it doesn't count. That doesn't count. We had giveaways, we had all stuff. We thought Castillo was the type of player who could maybe approach 56. And we were a team in 02, it was my first year in Miami.
Starting point is 00:37:43 We were not going anywhere, speaking of Paul Skeens. And Louis Castillo, he was becoming, he was the one giving us attention. And he was on deck, he was hitless, and we had the winning run on third with one out. Tim Reigns at the plate, and as he's walking, we got word to the dugout who got word to Reigns, and you know, very complicated signs back then
Starting point is 00:38:06 like hitting the garbage can. It was this, it was this. Swing away. If you're not watching it, swing away. Meaning win the game. Jimmy Rollins has the longest hit streak this century at 38 games. That's the one that lasted over two seasons.
Starting point is 00:38:19 It looks like Luis Castillo and Chase Utley tied at 35 games. Didn't Ugla have a long hit streak in Atlanta? Oh, look at that up. I believe Ugly. Yeah, he did, 33 games in 2011 in Atlanta. Which is unreal that Ugly did that. That doesn't make any sense
Starting point is 00:38:32 considering the type of player he was. But Billy, did I, another thing that I did wrong to ruin your fandom? Having us win the game that no one cares and remembers. No, I didn't blame you for that. No, Tim Reigns, I mean, she's... Tim Reigns was fun to have. Tim Rains is obviously a great man and a great player.
Starting point is 00:38:47 But what if Castillo could have caught DiMaggio? That's what I kept thinking. Because if you can catch DiMaggio, you're it. Luis Castillo would be in the Hall of Fame. He'd be. Really? If you can get a 57 game rating. Oh, really? You don't say that, okay.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Tony has a good hypothetical for you. So Dave, if you play five seasons in a row, okay, and get a hit in every single game, only a single, in every single game, you don't have any home runs. 810 game hit streak? Yeah. Are you a Hall of Famer?
Starting point is 00:39:27 You are in the Hall of Fame, but you're not a Hall of Famer. That's right. You're not in the plaque room, but you get yourself an exhibit if you have an 810 game hit streak. If Luis Castillo, now I love where your head's at, Luis Castillo is a better player than a one hit every game.
Starting point is 00:39:44 He had a very, people may not remember this, I don't know why, gold glove infielder, fantastic a World Series champion. He had longevity as a bunch of Marlins records or at least did when I left in 17. I believe that with a 57 game history, he would have been a stronger consideration for Cooper. What about an 810 game history?
Starting point is 00:40:04 I mean, that's damn good. But you're hitting 250. You're hitting 250. One for four. Which right now is outstanding. Yeah, but your OPS is nothing because you've never hit a home run, you've never had an extra base hit.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Oh, it's a single. It's a single. It's a single. 810 straight singles. Yes. I bet each row could have done that if we asked each row to do that and said, would you mind just getting one single?
Starting point is 00:40:23 Why didn't you? Each game because- It sounds productive. I mean, you have the option to have an 810 game history by which you take it. You would have been a mediocre player. Why didn't you ask Ichiro to get his 3000 hit at home if we were in so much control over Ichiro?
Starting point is 00:40:34 We had that conversation also. I know. I'll never forgive you. So- Or Don Mattingly. The conversation was, do you not play him? Do you wait? Because we were heading home,
Starting point is 00:40:45 it was a Sunday in Colorado in August. I believe it was August 16th. And I believe we were coming home for the next series. I may be wrong. No, you're right. I'll look it up right now. You got an unnecessary start that day. So, we had the amount of respect we had for each row.
Starting point is 00:41:04 I don't know that I've respected a player more than I respected Ichiro for any of the players who I had in my career, and he wanted to get it done. And he had an eye, here's a little nugget about Ichiro. He had an eye toward a triple for his 3,000th hit. And he got it. Barely. It's right over the glove of the-
Starting point is 00:41:29 He almost screwed it up by hitting a home run. Well, it was also almost caught, which is- It was off the wall, I believe. No, I was hoping that it would get caught. It was like right over the outfield, there's gloves, I was like, God, catch it, please catch it. Oh, I thought it hit the wall.
Starting point is 00:41:39 It did, but he was jumping up to catch it. Oh, got it, got it, got it. I was like, please catch that ball, and he didn't. He had a six game home stand right after that against San Francisco and the Chicago Whitesides. And I think if you look, that was his only hit of that game. Yeah, well he had gone a bunch of games. Oh, I know.
Starting point is 00:41:53 I went to a bunch of games watching, waiting for it to happen. He'd come in and he'd pinch hit, and then he'd ground out. He went one for four that night. Yep. And so remember, he started in his 3,000th game, and he was generally a bat off the bench for us.
Starting point is 00:42:06 And that was another discussion we had is whether or not you change what a player is according to a record that they're going for. Like all of a sudden would Reese play more minutes. If there's a blowout in a game where she would then get rest and she doesn't have the double double, am I putting her back out there just to get the double double?
Starting point is 00:42:26 And my answer to that would be no. Right. Speaking of records though, Katelyn Clark, triple double, and the other day against the Mystics, holy moly, she stuffed a stat sheet. Lucy, did you check that out? Of course I did. Let me read you the stats from this
Starting point is 00:42:41 because Katelyn had like her first real Iowa game in the WNBA so here are their stats from it was a loss to the Mystics. Caitlin had 29 points 15 points in the fourth quarter 13 assists 5 rebounds 5 steals 5 threes 3 blocks she was shooting 50% from the field 56 56% from three, and then 90% from her free throw line. You want that every day, don't you? Oh yeah, I mean it's awesome. Yeah, and like you see her get so much better, but that was her first real game where like she put up
Starting point is 00:43:15 numbers like that at Iowa all the time. It's crazy. I believe it broke records in the sense that I don't think any player has ever had like that stat lines in WNBA history, or I believe the history of the NBA either. Right, they went, they was down big in that game. It made a great comeback behind Katelyn in that fourth quarter.
Starting point is 00:43:33 And then Christie was like, well, since you led us back here and you did all this work, I'm not gonna trust you at the end of the game. Just remember that Jordan had a lot of problems when he was first in the league. The Bulls were not successful. They were a bad team. Doug Collins was the coach, the Brad Sellers years,
Starting point is 00:43:50 and he won a lot of championships. Caitlin Clark, at the end of the day, I don't know what the over-under is, if there's even a market for that, we can check DraftKings. I'm gonna put the over-under for titles for Caitlin Clark in her career at five. Yeah, she'll win a lot.
Starting point is 00:44:05 My thing is a lot of people are like, well, you know, she's gonna struggle to start off with, and she did, but she's playing really well. And she has for the last two months. The first few weeks of the season were kind of rough. She's played amazing. She hasn't rested. Yeah, she had.
Starting point is 00:44:18 Talk about rest. She went straight through. She finally started to get breaks after the 20 days, 11 game streak, which was absolutely insane for the Fever to start off the season that way, but she's played a lot better, and like, yeah, she's turning the ball over a lot,
Starting point is 00:44:31 and she needs to work on that, but also she's being used like in the Fever offense more than any player is being used across the WGA. I was talking about college though. Oh, college, yeah, she was amazing. No, but no, no, no. She never did anything wrong in college. No, what I'm saying is she went from college,
Starting point is 00:44:42 and then I believe right to training camp. No, she did, yeah. There was no break. Especially because Iowa made it all the way to the national championship game. Iowa unfortunately lost the national championship game. It's my birthday though, so we're not gonna talk about that. And then one week later she was drafted.
Starting point is 00:44:56 There was no in-between time. And then they had their first, I think it was just a exhibition game I think 10 days after that. There has not been a moment for Kaitlyn to breathe and that's why it's probably a really good thing for her that she didn't make the Olympic team. And you've seen with rest just after that huge stretch
Starting point is 00:45:16 the fever had to start the season, how much better Kaitlyn has been, how much better Aaliyah has been. Yeah, lots of people need sleep. Yeah. I was thinking about the you know the MLB draft is coming up this week and no one cares we're not talking about it it's making me angry I have a question for you though Dave yes sir what
Starting point is 00:45:32 baseball record speaking of records what baseball record is gonna be the most difficult one to have beaten hits home runs or hits in a season like like hitting you're only giving me those two choices those three so home runs, or hits in a season? Like hitting streak. You're only giving me those two choices? Those three. So home runs, hits all time. You mean career home runs or Mark McGuire or Barry Bonds in a season?
Starting point is 00:45:52 Career home runs, career hits, or hitting streak. Can I say that it's Henry Aaron who has the number, or is it Bonds? What number are you asking? 755? Whatever number you go by. Can I tell you, I didn't like last year when they were doing that with Aaron Judge
Starting point is 00:46:04 saying like, well, the real Home Run record. And I know that Stanton hinted at that when he was getting close and he couldn't get to it. And it's like, guys. Stop erasing my childhood. No, it's not that. It's just an opportunistic, I wanna be the Home Run champion
Starting point is 00:46:15 and I'm not gonna get to that. It's a thing in the union. It's a thing in the commissioner's office. It's a thing. So, I thought you were asking me the two records that will never be broken, and that is the career wins and the Cal Ripken Ironman streak.
Starting point is 00:46:29 And back to back no hitters. So you think somebody will beat Pete Rose for the Hit King? So. All time? It is possible that there will be another player. We just were looking at each row. He had 10 or nine, I think he has nine 200 hit seasons. And 200 hit seasons used to be what the goal was
Starting point is 00:46:45 and barely anyone gets there anymore because everyone would rather strike out or hit a home run. So I would say that the career hits is the one that is very unlikely to ever be broken versus although each row's got the single season record at 262 maybe. But given the present state of baseball gameplay and the style, 56 games in a row with a hit
Starting point is 00:47:11 feels impossible. Because guys have never even come within 10 of that at any point in Major League Baseball history. And right now there's so much strikeout home run walk that even the best of players, even like, if you look at a guy who is at the top of the league in batting average every single year in Luis Arayas, there are plenty of Ofer Knights in there
Starting point is 00:47:32 because he'll work a walk and there's a different type of approach so to me, I mean like I even feel like it might be more possible to break the Iron Man streak than it would be. No one plays that much anymore. No one does but if someone did, like, Mikael Bridges, right, plays every game in the NBA. Well, that doesn't happen in the NBA anymore.
Starting point is 00:47:53 How many years has he done it? He's done it, I think, for six years in a row now, where he's played every single game. He played all the way back through college and through high school, and so playing that many games in a row is very rare in basketball. You could have an outlier of a player who's just capable of playing every day Sometimes it says the DH, but I don't see a world where at least in the modern version of baseball anyone even comes close
Starting point is 00:48:16 To a 56 game hit streak that feels impossible P rules played like 30 years in the MLB. Yeah that part. That's the earth He started playing in 1963 and ended in 1986. So you tally all those hits. And the way that baseball's being played now, where it's all launch angles and trying to hit home runs and all that stuff, nobody's hitting for average. Nobody's hitting to get hits.
Starting point is 00:48:35 4,256. Is anybody close? Each row. Active though, active. No, active, I assume. The next 3000 hit guy, I love these stats where they talk about which players can now win 300 games. It used to be that's how you got to Cooperstown.
Starting point is 00:48:53 And what I hate is that, and hate's a strong word, we've changed the rules. We've made it okay, we've accepted mediocrity. We've accepted the change that allows players to be worse than they were because the analytics values things differently. More skilled, worse players. That's the part that's frustrating.
Starting point is 00:49:11 They're all more skilled than they've ever been. No, because even these guys with that level of velocity, their ability to locate pitches, their ability to move the ball, it's amazing. These hitters being able to hit off of every single guy throwing 100 miles an hour. It used to be that there was only Matt Lindstrom coming in late in the game throwing 100 miles an hour.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Now Paul Skeens is doing it for 40 pitches a game. And yet, you're now dealing with a situation where these guys are so skilled, but they're so specialized that it makes it that their well-rounded game isn't quite there and they're not quite the same players that we got to celebrate in years past. Joe Biden last night talked about
Starting point is 00:49:48 how he's gotta get the middle class back. And in baseball, there is no middle class. You've got the lower class and the upper class. And the way the upper class works in baseball is they buy $300,000 machines. They lease them per year. Have you heard of these pitching machines that have a picture of the actual pitcher
Starting point is 00:50:06 and they are throwing the exact pitches that the actual pitcher will actually throw to you? I did not know that. It is the crazy, it used to be a batting practice machine, a BP machine was a thump, thump, you drop a ball in and it goes through two spinning wheels and it goes and that's it. Then-
Starting point is 00:50:29 It's as flat just- Then if you move it, you can get a slider when you spin it a little bit, screw that. Now for 300 grand a year, you can rent a machine that has a video LCD board of the pitcher and his exact arsenal and it's his face pitching at you and then the hitters are in BP doing it. And then by the way, they're still hitting 220.
Starting point is 00:50:54 And I'm getting criticized as a low revenue team for not spending that money on this stuff, which isn't helping the Dodgers. The Dodgers have them everywhere. That you can't basically do a 360 without seeing one of these machines. And how come no one can hit? It's because the velocity is at a level that is
Starting point is 00:51:13 You can set the velocity. so crazy. No, but it's not about that. When you actually are facing a pitcher where there's an ability that the ball might not go exactly where you expect it, because when you're facing one of those machines, you know where the ball's going, even if it's gonna be a slider,
Starting point is 00:51:26 even if it's gonna be something else, you know what's going over the plate. When you're dealing with John Carlos Stanton, who's a guy who's taken a 100 mile an hour fastball to the face, there's an ability that that ball could go anywhere. Hitting a baseball is the most difficult thing to do in sports, and it's only gotten more and more difficult
Starting point is 00:51:43 because we're hunting velocity. And all these things that baseball has done to capitalize in the margins and be able to, you know, put these teams together where you're platooning guys and taking advantage within analytics, it's similar to the way that some people don't enjoy watching the way basketball is played currently in the five out.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Where it's just, yeah, it's just shooting threes and as many threes as you can per game to capitalize on. Analytics. Oh, let's take advantage of this weak spot. That's what baseball's done in every aspect of the game. What do you do for a week's job at a bakery? Were you glazing donuts? Did you learn to make anything? I didn't make anything.
Starting point is 00:52:23 I showed up late, so I missed a lot of time, apparently. I did like coffee drinks, and then just really like, they did like cookie sandwiches. So I would put the icing in the middle of the cookies. But did you make the icing? No, I didn't make anything. Wait, it didn't come out of a, it didn't come out of a container that you bought, did it?
Starting point is 00:52:40 No, they, so the owner of the bakery got there at like three in the morning. And she would do all that stuff and then we would show up and then we would, it was just like customer service. How many people worked there? I don't know, three or four. I didn't work there that long, so I really don't know. Is that the smallest time,
Starting point is 00:52:59 the shortest time you've ever had a job? I was a nanny for a week before I got fired. And then they realized you can't take care of kids? No, I am super great with kids. Those kids were terrible. How do you know how Willow's gonna be? She's been great. I've watched Willow before.
Starting point is 00:53:13 And I babysit a lot. I'm very good with kids. These kids were just exceptionally bad kids. Like, were they not toilet trained? No, I mean, they were old. So like, here's an example. So their mom was like, hey girl, you just let them do their thing, live their life.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Only thing is there's no like R rated movies, stuff that you would normally not let a kid do. So these kids were sitting there and they're like, we wanna watch National Lampoon's Vacation. I said, well that's a R rated movie. Great movie. There's like a lot of like tit scenes in that movie. And I said, well, you're five, so let a R rated movie. Great movie. There's like a lot of like tit scenes in that movie.
Starting point is 00:53:45 And I said, well, you're five, so let's not do that. Show them the one with commercials. It was a DVD. So they gave us the DVD and I said, hey, sorry, your mom said you can't watch these movies. I said, okay, well, she said you can't do it, sorry. And they start flipping out and I said, that's fine, whatever, we're just gonna put on something else.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Let's watch Trolls. So we put on Trolls, one of the kids goes to the bathroom, comes back, has her cell phone, goes, it's our mom, Friau. And she hands me the phone and I'm like, hey, Megan, what's up? And she's like, yeah, you can just let the kids watch the movie. And they would-
Starting point is 00:54:17 They went over your head. They did that to me so many times. Now here's the final straw, okay? So it was day four and I said, this isn't gonna last. I know this isn't gonna, it's not gonna go well. So I brought my sister with me. Because my sister- Well how long were you nannying for?
Starting point is 00:54:30 This is gonna be like a full time thing? It was supposed to be a full summer. It was supposed to be a full summer. So I'm- I thought it was like for the parents on vacation. Yeah. No, no, no, no. So she was like going to work and I was watching her kids.
Starting point is 00:54:38 So it was day four and I knew I was gonna get fired because these kids were so bad. So I brought my little sister with me. And Kate was like, Lucy, you're being so overdramatic. Like these kids are fine. I said, I don't think so. So I brought Kate with me. And the way I paid Kate to come with me
Starting point is 00:54:52 is I took her to get breakfast that morning. So we got coffee and breakfast sandwiches, whatever. So we're sitting there and the kids are being a menace. And then this little girl, she's like, Lucy, can I have your coffee? And it was like a really sugary coffee drink. So I said, no, Ava, you can't have it. So I go to the bathroom, I come back,
Starting point is 00:55:06 and she sits there, she holds up the coffee, and says, you won't let me have it, and dumps it on the floor in front of me. Oh no, oh no. She was a devil child. They were bad kids. They were not good kids, and then they were like, hey, you don't have to come in tomorrow,
Starting point is 00:55:20 and then Megan was like, sorry, we're not gonna need anyone to watch the kids. And they didn't hire anybody else, because no one would sit and watch those kids. Wait, so what happened with the kids? I would unplug every TV in that damn house. Well, so Megan had to, I don't know if she quit her job, but she started working from home.
Starting point is 00:55:34 The one moment from that whole experience that really sticks with me is they were like, hey, we wanna do, put on a musical performance for you. And I said, that's totally fine. That is perfect, that's so nice. And kids do that that all the time so they come out and they chose the song damn It feels good to be a gangster And then like the brother like pretended to beat the shit out of his sister. Oh my god baseball and I was just like Did you stop it no it was their performance
Starting point is 00:56:04 It was the only time that whole week they listened to me. And so and then they just like got that cup and I was like, OK, that was great. I wouldn't have fired you. They are, one of them's old enough to be in college. Well, the others are in junior. And then they, I don't know if they're doing well or not. There's a movie called My Babysitter,
Starting point is 00:56:30 you may want to check that out. There's also a movie called Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead that you need to step up and protect yourself. Like nah, these little kids is off the, bruh. You're crazy. I would unplug every damn TV in the house, unplug, give me your phone chargers
Starting point is 00:56:46 And then give me all your phones you go to your room you go to your room And I will come tell y'all we I use the bathroom uncle ju makes it happen if you road rage Road rage that's one of the ones Road rage is something that I'm just not big enough to do hmm Road rage is something that I'm just not big enough to do. Hmm. Hold on, wait. You just said you used to take trash and put it in folks' faces when they drop it on the-
Starting point is 00:57:09 We're talking current day. Oh, current day, okay, okay. Current day. Yes, sir. Don't do the road rage anymore because I used to be a honker. I cannot stand when you're slowing the left lane. I don't understand it.
Starting point is 00:57:21 I'm the flasher with like- You can still be a honker though. Good like. You can still be a honker though. Good clarification. You can still be a honker. Thank you also. It's not nice to honk, but I can't stand people who are not paying attention. And the corollary to that, it's the online for food
Starting point is 00:57:36 at a game, you get to the front of the line and then you start looking at the menu. If I were bigger. That drives me crazy. I can't be the only one on that. I don't understand. I don't get that in drive-thrus. Like you've been to McDonald's a thousand times.
Starting point is 00:57:52 Like, you know what you want. There's special times though, because Chick-fil-A, their employees, they come get you way before the sign. So it's been like a year and a half since I've seen a Chick-fil-A menu. So I'm just spicy chicken sandwiches. I would like to see it one more time. Refresh myself.
Starting point is 00:58:09 I get peer pressured into just ordering anything at that point. Cause like they have like a little iPad and like, what do you want? And I'm like, I don't know when you're on chicken. And I'll just get chicken. I'm like, what kind? Yeah, but I don't, if it's a restaurant,
Starting point is 00:58:19 like he's saying that I don't go to, I don't see a menu. Go online before you go. Every menu is available online. You should be prepared. You can order ahead, which is what I do a lot of the time. Just order ahead on my app. You can do that too. Pick it up in two seconds about.
Starting point is 00:58:31 Coins. Do not waste my time going in your wallet trying to get exact change when I'm waiting to check out. Do not do it. I want all coins to be eliminated. I want every price to be the rounded up or down. Really? I don't want something that's 9.69
Starting point is 00:58:48 and then someone's pulling out. And then, and then don't even get me started on the people working or the people giving the coins, trying to count the change, which by the way takes forever and they get it wrong. And then there's a recount, which Florida is very familiar with. That's one of them categories where sleep
Starting point is 00:59:06 could help with that, brother. I'm not a coin fan. I think it's reasonable and I've spoken to people and I've asked them why the treasury continues to have coins. I'm shocked because you look like someone that collects coins. Collects coins?
Starting point is 00:59:22 Yeah, like you have collectible coins. I'm not a collector. You're not a collector? Y'all seem like a thousand- Like a thousand- Bobbleheads on your damn banister. I have memorabilia, but I'm not a collector. I have stuff that means something to me
Starting point is 00:59:33 that I love looking at. You have something that means a lot to you that you're doing to help others, don't you? I do, thank you very much. I'm gonna be very quick about this because I'm doing something for charity and I'd like people to bid for it. There's something called
Starting point is 00:59:45 the Bridge Hampton Child Care Center. People think the Hamptons is only for rich people. It's not. Most of the people are underprivileged, underserved, and this is a center that helps those kids with after school activities and programs, and I'm auctioning off a lunch with me. I'll pay, drinks included,

I'm going right now. Bidding ends on July 17th and we will have lunch. It can be in New York, it can be Miami, it can be anywhere.
Starting point is 01:00:18 There's a QR code on your screen if you're watching on YouTube or on DraftKings. Please, please be charitable, however it is that you do it. Howdy y'all, it's Mike.
