Dan LeBatard
Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo, what are you doing here?
- [00:09]
Stugotz
Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
- [00:12]
Dan LeBatard
Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.
- [00:19]
Stugotz
Sweet, delicious Cuervo.
- [00:20]
Dan LeBatard
Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.
- [00:25]
Stugotz
Cuervo.
- [00:26]
Dan LeBatard
So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo.

Stugotz
Amin just asked me the question, and I don't know the answer. Is there any man on television who. It takes longer to get dressed in the morning than Cam Newton? Anybody in sports, history of television? Because he's looking at the number of layers that Cam Newton is wearing right now. It's vest, its bow tie, its shirt, its jacket. It's clearly not Adnan Virk. Adnan Virk would not qualify as the person it takes the longest amount of time in the morning to get dressed. But I don't have a better nominee.
- [01:48]
Adnan Virk
Barry Melrose, Cam Newton.
- [01:50]
Tony
It's a good Barry. Wears a suit, slicks his hair back.
- [01:52]
Adnan Virk
No, he's got, like, a vest. That's a layered suit that he's got on there.
- [01:55]
Tony
That's nothing near Cam Newton.
- [01:57]
Jeremy
He sticks his hand in any body of water, toilet, sink, whatever. Just gets his hand and slicks it back real good.
- [02:03]
Stugotz
Put it on the pole. Does Barry Melrose.
- [02:05]
Dan LeBatard
No, don't stop.
- [02:06]
Tony
What?
- [02:07]
Dan LeBatard
He's sick, guys.
- [02:08]
Tony
Oh, he's sick.
- [02:10]
Dan LeBatard
Been over here. Like, let's stop. No one's taking a cue.
- [02:12]
Tony
You can't make.
- [02:13]
Jeremy
Maybe he's sick.
- [02:14]
Stugotz
He still slicks his hair back. My fault. I didn't know that.
- [02:17]
Tony
That has nothing to do with his disease.
- [02:19]
Stugotz
Adnan Burke is with us now. And he's got a hat on. The bill is a little ragged. He is celebrating The Toronto Blue Jays in a way that is clearly and obviously biased.
- [02:30]
Adnan Virk
It's the worst bill seen.
- [02:32]
Stugotz
It's a bad, It's a bad bill. It's. It's beaten up. It's an old hat. It, it looks a little too comfortable. He's the host of MLB Tonight, Amazon Prime, Monday Night Hockey. You can listen and subscribe to his NHL unscripted with Vir and Demers on Iheart and his book Cinephile Interviews, Essays and Tales from the Red Carpet is available now. That's his real passion. He pretends to care about sports. It's movies that he cares about the most. Max Scherzer last night had the best old guy performance of the even. I don't know how he did that. Adnan, thank you for joining us. He's been terrible for a while. He's 41 years old and he's the original hundred mile an hour thrower and he's out there farting 94 miles an hour and he's a dinosaur. And he scared his manager and yelled at him and Schneider ran back to the dugout and said afterward, yes, I was scared. I shouldn't have been out there. I was only there for a couple of seconds. I shouldn't have been out there.
- [03:29]
Adnan Virk
That is horrifying.
- [03:30]
Stugotz
No, no, but it was totally crazy. All of it. I've not seen the way that manager usually represent is I'm in charge. That guy ran back to the dugout because he looked deep into both of Max Scherzer's different colored eyes and he was haunted and he just ran back to the dugout. In terms of impressive, willful things you've seen in baseball, Adnan, Max Scherzer going back and getting back some Mad Max to save Toronto season and beat Toronto's ace. How impressive does that one rank old guy performance?
- [04:01]
Adnan Virk
Willful performance. And it was remarkable because if you go by the numbers, Luis Castillo had a 0.70 ERA in his last six starts going into this game. So for the Mariners, you see, all right, Luis Castillo is going to shove. He's going to be brilliant. And for Scherz, as you mentioned, he's been tired for a while. He had a 8.79 ERA his last four postseason starts going back to 2002. As far as recent vintage, his last starts in the month of September had an ERA over 10 and in the first inning, an ERA of 12.64. There's no reason Max Scherzer should pitch like he did last night. And yet he was throwing his fast. His fastball in a year and a half, and he did so with a curveball, which he basically invented later in his career. He threw 10 curveballs, all for strikes, and four of his five strikeouts came on that very same curveball. But all that gets obscured by, as you mentioned, that wonderful Tet. A tet with John Schneider. Now, when Schneider runs to the man like that, as Buck Martinez and Dan Shulman said, that's him basically going to check on his pitcher just to say, are you good? Well, Max clearly was furious and yelled, I'm good. Let's go. And John Schneider scurried back to the dugout, terrified to do anything else. Max Scherzer, I don't think, Dan. It would have been hysterical if Brandi Rosarina had then taken him deep. But thankfully, Scherzer gets out of it. And then I said, they can't take him out in the next inning. Everyone's scared to take him out. He starts a sixth inning, gets a couple outs. This time, John Schneider quickly motions to his left arm, allows nothing to be said but 87 pitches. As you said, a willful performance at 41 years of age. That was Max Scherzer's 500th start, regular season and postseason. He's thrown over 50,000 pitches in baseball, and he gets his first win since the 2019 World Series. Remarkable. And as you said, it saved the season. The Jays lose that. They're down 3:1. They're probably cooked now. It's the best of three. Toronto's got home field.
- [05:43]
Stugotz
Can you explain, though? You just said 2002. You went back to. He's been. He's been good before 2002. What was the stat you just gave us from 2002?
- [05:53]
Adnan Virk
I apologize. His postseason. 8.79 ERA. His last four postseason starts going back to 2022.
- [06:01]
Tony
We left, okay?
- [06:04]
Stugotz
I was like, what are you talk. Talking about?
- [06:06]
Adnan Virk
That doesn't sound like a good pitcher.
- [06:08]
Tony
It's been 20 years, okay, but it had.
- [06:10]
Stugotz
But it has been three years since dinosaur Scherzer had a fastball that scared anybody.
- [06:17]
Adnan Virk
And he's the first pitcher ever to pitch for six different teams the postseason, which is both a nod to his longevity and the fact he hasn't stayed in one place for too long. Like, Max is a hired gun wherever he goes. He's looking to. To bolster his reputation again. He's a Hall of Famer. We all know that, but he has not pitched like this, period. Think about this, Dan. He hadn't pitched since September 24th. He wasn't on the roster for the Division Series, Toronto could have lost against the Yankees and Max Scherzer would not have seen the mound. And yet, in their most pivotal start of the season, the first time the Jays are in the CS for the first time in nine years, they turn to this 41 year old, grizzled veteran. And he shoved. He was brilliant. Two runs and five and two thirds of Max Scherzer. At this day and age, that could be the last start of his career. Incredible.
- [07:00]
Dan LeBatard
Adnan, does this hat hold any sentimental value?
- [07:02]
Adnan Virk
I hate this hat. I feel like he bought it worn.
- [07:06]
Tony
Like, it's not.
- [07:06]
Adnan Virk
It's not like I've had this happen right before this, Right before the segment started, I saw him do the move of like, totally scrunching it up.
- [07:14]
Dan LeBatard
I'm like, oh, that has sucks.
- [07:17]
Adnan Virk
Now, Mike and Chris, you're absolutely right. It's my eldest son Yusuf's hat. So Mike is right about the nostalgic value. He's now 17, he's had this hat forever. And I said rather, I know it still sucks.
- [07:28]
Dan LeBatard
Like, that's fine. I wanted to know, like, what kind of nostalgia we were dealing with.
- [07:32]
Jeremy
Now that you've said that, Melrose territory, is this an acceptable hat?
- [07:36]
Dan LeBatard
Sucks a dirty one.
- [07:38]
Adnan Virk
It's not my best hat. The brim is brutal. You guys are absolutely right about that. It's a, it's a sad excuse for a hat, there's no question about it. But the Jays are not a sad excuse for an organization, at least.
- [07:47]
Stugotz
One of the things that I enjoy about the baseball lexicon is when new verbiage gets thrown in. You just said he shoved, which I assume is short for he shoved the baseball up there. Like, and you guys now use this. In baseball, everyone says he shoved instead of saying the rest of the phrase. It is what it means, correct? When did that become okay in baseball for announcers to just be on the broadcast and saying, hey, he shoved that baseball right up their ass.
- [08:19]
Adnan Virk
We'd have to check with our buddy bookshop, but I'm going to say within the last seven to eight years, I've heard that more become a part of baseball parlance. What are you looking for tonight? I think he's going to shove. Another expression I only ever hear in baseball, I never heard anywhere else, is the game got banged. Like, you know, my son's literally game. No one says the game got banged tonight. But in baseball, if there's a rain out, they just said the game got banged. Everyone understands what that means.
- [08:41]
Tony
So in basketball, there's a famous saying, it only takes One Right. When it means, oh, who's going to. How the hell is he going to fall that long, long in the draft or who's going to draft him or who's going to sign that guy to that deal. The saying is it only takes one. Meaning it only takes one team or one general manager to do it. But that's not the full saying. The full thing is it only takes one, asshole. But they clean it up to it only takes one.
- [09:05]
Stugotz
I didn't realize that shoved had been around for eight years. Did you know that, Tony? Were you.
- [09:09]
Dan LeBatard
It's like a dealt kind of situation.
- [09:10]
Adnan Virk
Like he's dealing right now. He dealt. He shoved.
- [09:12]
Stugotz
Yeah, the hat. Are you a Blue Jays fan? Is your son a Blue Jays fan? Are you. Do you. What's the emotional investment in one of the better Blue Jay teams that we've seen along in a long time? When I do believe that baseball and this country are rooting for the Mariners to be the team that represents the American League against the Dodgers.
- [09:36]
Adnan Virk
Yeah. As you guys have said in the show, Dan, it's the US Versus the world. I understand this is a pro Mariners contingent here on the show, but, you know, for the Blue Jays, I was just back home for, as we call it, Canadian Thanksgiving. And I got to tell you, I was there working for Amazon. You mentioned the Monday night hockey. We did the Leafs Red Wings game, which they moved the game up for baseball. Think about that. This is Canada. Everyone says religion is hockey. No, no, baseball is running right now. They move the leafs game at 2 o' clock Eastern, Red Wings leaf. So everyone can watch the Blue Jays game of five, which I was able to do with John Morosi and others, and the appetite for this team to win again. It's been a long time, Dan, since 1993. As you know, when those Blue Jays teams went back to back, they were the kings of the baseball world. They were the ones acquiring Dave Winfield or David Cohen or Paul Mulder. All these hired hands to go along with the nucleus of Roberto Alomar and Devon White and John Allrood. So it's been a long time since the Jays have been the envy of the baseball world. Everyone knows if they get there, they'd be the underdog against the Dodgers. But the ratings wise, you know, I was looking at the numbers. Canada's a country of 35 million. They're getting numbers of 7 million. For example. That's NFL numbers, like 30 million Canadians are watching. If you extrapolate it in terms of the US audience to Canadian audience. So There's a rabid appetite right now for the Blue Jays. I think people would love to see this team go deep north of the border. And even I think in this country, they realize what an exciting team this is. Dan, let's talk a little bit about Vladimir Guerrero Jr. What he's doing is unbelievable. This is a superstar whose 14 year, $500 million contract kicks in next season. And I say this to you as a longtime lifelong baseball fan. What's more important, more impressive? Five home runs this postseason or only one strikeout? As you know, Reggie Jackson hit a lot of home runs. He also struck out a ton. That's what you get with power hitters. Not with Vlad. Five homers, yet only one K. That is remarkable bat to ball skills.
- [11:18]
Stugotz
He also has this plate discipline that his father did not have as a great bad ball hitter. He's better than his father, is he not? And that's. That's an impossible thing to say. His father's a Hall of Famer.
- [11:30]
Adnan Virk
Yeah, I mean, his father was incredible, as you said, the bad ball hitter at a different body than Vlad. Obviously. He was tall and lean and kind of flailing all over the place. But I think what Vlad Jr. Is able to do, the way he punishes this baseball, if you look at exit field on the sport, virtually no one aside from Aaron Judge hits the ball harder than Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Even if it's not always home runs. It's hard contact every single time. And to have that kind of discipline, it's amazing. Thank God the Jays locked him up for the next 14 years.
- [11:55]
Stugotz
You mentioned, though, Canada and Canadian pride and how many people are watching this baseball team. I'm not sure that the audience really understands that Canada doesn't beat America at sports. Like the Blue Jays are the only thing that beats America at sports. And it was a long ass time ago. Canada loses the Raptors. Okay, but I'm saying when it comes to generational allegiances and who's the team that my parents are going to pass down, it's going to be the Blue Jays of Cedo Gaston. Because Canada never gets to be better than American sports. Fine, you chose the outlier. But the Blue Jays matter to Canada because the Blue Jays have made Canada feel like a winner. No one's in. No one in hockey's done it.
- [12:40]
Adnan Virk
No, there's no question about that. Canadian team has not won since 1993. The Leafs have not won the cup since 1967. But Mike and Tony are right to at least mention the rafters in Kauai. 2019 was a massive moment for the country. We all know the impact that guys like Steve Nash and Vince Carter have had on basketball North Florida border. But I would agree with you, Dan. People have asked me what's a bigger deal if the Blue Jays won the World Series or the raptors winning in 2019. I would say the Blue Jays because that's a generational thing. You know, again, the Raptors is massive when they won and basketball is huge as a mean nose north of the border. But I do think if the Blue Jays won, I mean, this would really just wrap up.
- [13:12]
Tony
The entire country is all dwarfed by the Leafs, right?
- [13:15]
Dan LeBatard
How quickly we forget Toronto FC's 2017 title reign.
- [13:21]
Stugotz
The thing that triggered the thought for me, Adnan, is the idea of while I'd forgotten, Toronto exposed Raptors because Kawhi Leonard was a mercenary. The Vladimir Carrero. The Vladimir Guerrero family is royalty in Canada at least because Vlad Jr's dad is the is the one who made the Expos matter.
- [13:41]
Adnan Virk
Right? And I'm still trying to figure out who killed the Montreal Expos. I look forward to watching this Netflix documentary trying to get some answers on this. But yeah, I mean, father and son revere. People forget, Dan. Vlad's Canadian. No, no, it doesn't just play for Canadian team. Vladimir Guero Jr. Is a proud Canadian and he is thrilled be in Toronto. He's the emblem, the cornerstone of that franchise from the Expos. The Jays. People love the Guerreros.
- [14:05]
Stugotz
You just made a reference that made me think we've gone too long without talking to Billy Gil, who has a top five list of the things he will not miss from around here as he leaves Adnan as part of Billy's goodbye today. I cannot wait to hear how many Olis this one has. Things. Things that Billy Gill will not miss around here.
- [14:30]
Jeremy
So it's the top five things that I won't miss from here. We have some Olis, as you mentioned.
- [14:36]
Stugotz
I can't wait to hear how many Olis we have.
- [14:40]
Jeremy
We have 34 OLIs. Oh, God damn it.
- [14:43]
Stugotz
I knew this was going quick.
- [14:45]
Jeremy
30, 34 Oli. And we get the top five. All right, Oli. Number 34, lamb for lunch three times a week.
- [14:55]
Adnan Virk
That was kind of craz.
- [14:57]
Dan LeBatard
Roy eats all the lamb, by the.
- [14:58]
Tony
Way, lamb is great.
- [14:59]
Adnan Virk
Roy eats all the lambs.
- [15:01]
Jeremy
Lamb's not bad, but three times a week is excessive.
- [15:03]
Tony
These ungrateful people. Dan, you're feeding them lamb. This is a luxurious meat, Roy.
- [15:09]
Adnan Virk
You don't need four. You don't need four lamb chops.
- [15:12]
Jeremy
Yeah, I ate two. Oli number 33, wondering where Stu Gotz is when he's supposed to be on a Zoom recording. Oli number 32, wondering where Stu Gotts is when he's supposed to be in studio for a recording. Oli 31.
- [15:28]
Dan LeBatard
Just.
- [15:28]
Jeremy
Just generally wondering where Stugatz is. Oli number 30, parking in one parking garage, running across the street and dodging traffic to enter our office in another parking garage. Oli number 29.
- [15:46]
Dan LeBatard
This happened at two different places. I know.
- [15:48]
Jeremy
Oli number 29. Tony's top five.
- [15:52]
Dan LeBatard
You know what? Better than I thought it was gonna be. I thought that was the top fiver for sure.
- [15:57]
Jeremy
Oli 28, Samson. Wow. And I just, like, there's a lot of people out there. I just want to kind of get ahead of this. A lot of people out there saying, like, samson's the reason that you're leaving. Samson's the reason you're leaving. They're tagging him and it's this whole thing and like he's going through, like all this stuff and it's like, please, you know, he is the reason, but leave him alone. Oli number 27, Taylor. Oli number 26.
- [16:25]
Tony
Six.
- [16:25]
Jeremy
Jeremy's songs. Oli 25. All of Tony's clearly made up stories.
- [16:33]
Dan LeBatard
I thought I was out unscathed there.
- [16:35]
Jeremy
Oli number 24, lying to intrepid journalist Mike Schur about how normal the environment is during an interview for Slate magazine.
- [16:44]
Tony
Oh, man.
- [16:47]
Jeremy
Had no clue.

Adnan Virk
I thought he was in College.
- [16:51]
Jeremy
Oli number 23, Geno. Keep an eye on Geno.
- [16:57]
Adnan Virk
Things you're not gonna miss.
- [16:59]
Jeremy
Keep an eye on bad egg.
- [17:02]
Dan LeBatard
Bad egg.
- [17:03]
Adnan Virk
So hurt by that.
- [17:05]
Jeremy
Keep an eye on star of football America.

Oli number 18, asking Dan Patrick what love was like growing up for the fourth time because he didn't answer the previous three times. Oli number 17, keeping up with what's bothering Billy Corbin.
- [17:51]
Adnan Virk
You too, huh?
- [17:52]
Jeremy
A little too low. Olai number 16, Mike Fuentes pretending he doesn't care about anything while wearing a black bass pro shop hat. Olai number 15, Mike Fuentes pretending he doesn't care about anything while wearing a blue bass pro shop hat. Oli number 14, Mike Fuentes pretending he doesn't care about anything while wearing a green bass pro shop hat. Oli number 13. Willow.
- [18:23]
Adnan Virk
Number one for me.
- [18:24]
Jeremy
Oli number 12. Mike French is pretending he doesn't care about anything while wearing a red Bass Pro Shop hat after Willow. Oli number 11, chest burping in the makeup room. Oli number 10. That other dog, Ethan clearly kicked. Oli number 9, Zazzlo talking about his manner. Oli number 8. Knowing Dan must have talked to Adam McKay recently because we spent 40 minutes debating whether or not we're going to die from the rising ocean water or the sky being on fire, even though those probably would have canceled each other out. Oli number seven. The you being back. Wow.
- [19:15]
Dan LeBatard
Getting out in time.
- [19:16]
Jeremy
Oli number six. Chris combining words.
- [19:20]
Adnan Virk
Thought I was gonna be missed.
- [19:21]
Tony
Oh, no.
- [19:22]
Jeremy
Kurds. Ola number five. Pretending a means impressions aren't all exactly the same. Oli number four, Louis. Oli number three, losing Lucy talking about Jasper the doll. Oli number two, Jason showing me eating or yawning or playing on my phone while a vice presidential candidate is talking about how he'd fix the United States. Oli number one, Robert Quinlan Costas.
- [19:59]
Adnan Virk
All right, hold on to these.
- [20:00]
Stugotz
I want to tease the. I want to tease the five. Till later. No, now that we finally gotten to the five and made Adnan sit through all five while he's got hot and baseball information that he wants to give to the American public, we'll get to Billy's top five before the end of the show. Also, Jeremy saying that he wants to get in and say goodbye to you in a more loving fashion. We'll see if we get to that as well. I will remind people again that Adnan's book, Cinephile Interviews, Essays and Tales from the Red Carpet is available now. Are you, like a lot of people, hoping that the Dodgers lose because you can't break baseball just because you got the best TV contract and you get into the playoffs for 13 straight years and you have all the best players.
- [20:43]
Adnan Virk
Yeah, my main issue, Dan, is not animus towards the Dodgers for that reason. It's just, as a baseball fan, if I don't have a dog in the race, I want as much baseball as possible. So I'm training for the brewers yesterday to make this a competitive series. Once it goes three. Oh, I'm like, well, it's a fed accompli. This thing's done. So game for today. I guess if Milwaukee would like to extend the agony, I suppose we can do that, but then the series is going to be done in five and in rather short order. It's certainly frustrating for Dodgers Haters. But at the same time, I applaud them for their excellence. Their starting pitching dam this Postseason has a 1.54 ERA. That is unbelievable. In today's game, with so many people saying, wow, starting pitching doesn't matter. It's all about bullpens. They said, no, we're going to go ahead and get the best starters available. And how about this? We're basically going to punt in the regular season. Really don't care about it. We'll coast and win the division. Maybe we'll win 90, 95 games. We won't be the number one. See cares. Because come playoff time, Blake Snell will have thrown 70 innings. For Blake Snell, right now, it's June 1st. He's as fresh as a daisy. He can throw eight innings with no problem whatsoever. Y has been a horse for them. Ohtani, we don't even need him to start game four. And Tyler Glass starts game three. He's an ace on most teams.
- [21:47]
Jeremy
Well, that's.
- [21:47]
Stugotz
That's the thing I've never seen before. A team built in baseball for the playoffs is not something I have seen before. These Dodgers, right, they.
- [21:55]
Adnan Virk
They clearly said to themselves, dan, we don't care about the regular season. Even if we get in as a wild card, what do we care? It's all right. We'll win the division. Well, we won't even have a buy. It's fin. Fine. We'll win no matter what because we have the starters. We have the horses. You know, offensive, they have not been a juggernaut. They scored three runs against the Brewers. They're scratching out some runs. Mookie Betts has been better. Ohtani's done virtually nothing offensively. Had a triple yesterday, his first the postseason. He's been awfully quiet. It's guys like Tommy Edmonds stepping up your max muncies. Those ones getting timely hits. It's their pitching. And even the bullpen dam, which should have been a weakness, they just moved the starters of the bullpen. We don't have a closer. We'll get Roki Sasaki to be the closer. Great. Great. No problem. He can get three outs for us.
- [22:32]
Tony
This is good for baseball, right? For the Dodgers to be just a machine that keeps going back.
- [22:37]
Stugotz
It can't be good for baseball that the Dodgers are the new Yankees, that they are great for baseball, that they are just money. We will throw money at everything, and everyone will drown in our money.
- [22:48]
Adnan Virk
I'm torn on it. I mean, a part of me says, yeah, in any sport, if you have a team that Feels dynastic. If it's either love him or hate him that's good for the sport. If the Cowboys are rolling in football, Panthers, Panthers in hockey, big win for the Flyers by the way. Cody Couturia two goals, two assists. But I think ultimately if you look at the sport, maybe maybe back to back titles is good for the sport. To Maine's point the Dodgers go back to back LA is a huge robust fan base. But then the Dan's point if it goes three straight years the Dodgers and you're spending your way to a title that causes a lot of acrimony throughout the sport.

Stugotz
You can't, you can't break baseball just because you got the best TV contract.
- [23:24]
Adnan Virk
But do you fault a team for willing to do whatever it takes to win? Win Right. Back in the day Dan, we'd applaud George Steinbre say he cares about winning more than anybody. He'll spend $200 million. Are not the Dodgers following the same script?
- [23:35]
Stugotz
I guess except that I always thought that someone would and had a chance against the Yankees. What I'm watching from the Dodgers starting pitching. What I'm watching that Shohei Ohtani doesn't have to get a hit. It doesn't matter. Like he can strike out all the time and they don't need it. Like that's crazy.
- [23:54]
Adnan Virk
Yeah, it is funny when show your Tani's offense can become an afterthought and we've seen it's well documented when he pitches his offense suffers. So I've been of the mind now. What's up three zero. You don't need Ohtani to start game four like now. It's just a luxury like now. Just, just. It's fine. Well, we'll start. We'll have a bullpen game. What the hell. It's okay. Clayton Kershaw can start Billy's favorite just for Billy's farewell.
- [24:13]
Stugotz
Yeah, that's what the Yankees never could do. Like that's that the Yankees never had any of what you just said. Hey, we'll keep Babe Ruth in the dugout. We don't need him today. What kind of insanity is that?
- [24:26]
Adnan Virk
Yeah, and it's. Listen, it's not going to get any better anytime soon. Like if you're a Dodgers hitter. All these guys are locked up. Like imagine if Sasaki is actually healthy next season and pitches a full year. Imagine if these guys are actually healthy and pitch the full year. I mean then they're even scarier. But does it matter to them? Again, the regular season doesn't matter to The Dodgers doesn't matter to a lot of teams now. The extra wild card, you go, let's just get 85 wins and get in the playoffs and get hot at the right time. And so far it's working to a T when it comes to this Dodgers script.
- [24:53]
Stugotz
Adnan, thank you. We will talk to you soon. Appreciate all of the insight. Catch him. Host of MLB tonight and Amazon Prime Monday night hockey. Thank you, sir.
- [25:02]
Adnan Virk
Love you guys. Billy will be missed. And by the way, I just want to read Dan's lovely blurb to me for Cinephile. Adnan Virk is ill, sick, troubled, diagnosed with acute scorsese. His addiction to film is neither healthy nor sane. He really thinks the world needs more of his thoughts on movies. I hate that. He's right. The great Dan Levater. Thank you.
- [25:19]
Stugotz
Thank you, Adnan. We appreciate it. Can you get for me the last time Jeremy and what Jeremy's got going on because he wants to get in on the show. It's crowded today. We want to get to our emotional goodbye to Billy and Jeremy keeps trying to horn in on what it is that we're doing to talk baseball. And what are you doing in the bullpen? Jeremy, what do you have for us to honor Billy today?
- [25:42]
Adnan Virk
No, Dan, I just really appreciate the space that Billy has provided for me to be able to talk baseball, to talk Marlins with him. I'm wearing a Marlins hat in his.
- [25:53]
Jeremy
Honor today and it's because we had.
- [25:56]
Adnan Virk
Times talking about that team. I remember, you know, when you swallowed him whole on that 2018 opportunity for him to be out at opening.
- [26:05]
Tony
Oh, what?
- [26:09]
Jeremy
Shut up, Jeremy.
- [26:13]
Adnan Virk
Shut up.
- [26:13]
Jeremy
Jeremy.
- [26:18]
Adnan Virk
Please just wrap it up.
- [26:24]
Jeremy
You are not Billy.
- [26:28]
Dan LeBatard
Hey, audience, I got a special treat for you because I want to talk to you about Miller Lite, but I want to talk to you about Miller Lite with my good friend Rose. Hey, Rose.
- [26:34]
Adnan Virk
Hi, everybody.
- [26:35]
Dan LeBatard
When we hang out and we hang out often, we're friends. I consider us friends.
- [26:39]
Jeremy
Yeah, me too.
- [26:40]
Dan LeBatard
We're often toasting the good times. And what am I toasting with?
- [26:43]
Stugotz
With Miller Lite.
- [26:44]
Dan LeBatard
That's right. Miller Lite. Whether you're hanging out with your dear friend Rose or at game day, it just hits different when you got a Miller Lite in your hand. From jaw dropping touchdowns to fantasy heartbreaks, it's a beer that has been there for every moment. 50 years of great taste, simple ingredients and that iconic golden color that you can spot across the room. And it's just not the color of the beer, which is brilliant. That beautiful white can. How beautiful Is that. Is that you doing the sound of a can open? Is that your favorite sound?
- [27:09]
Adnan Virk
No, it is a horsey.
- [27:10]
Dan LeBatard
A horsey. All right, we'll stop doing that. And here's a kicker. Miller light is just 96 calories, 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. The original light beer since 1975. That's right. And still hitting different five decades later. You're so good at this, Rose.
- [27:25]
Adnan Virk
I know.
- [27:25]
Dan LeBatard
So whatever your game day looks like, remember, Miller Time is always a good time. Look at us. We're a great tag team. High five again. Can you do that beer sound one more time?
- [27:34]
Tony
Time.
- [27:35]
Dan LeBatard
And the horse sound one more time. I regret asking you about that one, but the. The Miller Light sound is good. Miller Light, great taste. 96 calories. Go to millerlight.com shan to find delivery options near you. Or you can pick up some Miller Light pretty much anywhere they sell beer. It's Miller time. Celebrate. Responsive Miller Brewing Co. Milwaukee, Wiscon. 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounce ounces. No, it says.

Could I interest any of you in an opportunity to make money where I buy some calling cards and I sell them to you, and then you get three friends and then you're making money off the ones they sell? Amela Stugats.

And he's tanked.

Chris Cody, I mean, has somehow fallen in love with Joe Missoula. I don't know how you feel about Joe Missoula. I asked Nick Wright after Joe Missoula won the championship a serious question. Is he a good coach? Still don't know. Why have you fallen in love with Joe Missoula?
- [30:24]
Adnan Virk
Well, his quotes are great. Like, he's just kind of like, you know, I don't know, he's just got.
- [30:27]
Jeremy
A vibe with the media.
- [30:28]
Adnan Virk
But this year, year, you know, teams do this. We've played in softball games before. Seasons. Teams do media games. You know, baseball does softball. And the Celtics, we're gonna have a media game where media player, media people play versus each other. And at the last second, Joe Missoula announced, not this year. This year, you guys are playing against coaches. So we have a B roll here of them playing this game. It's harmless. You see Missoula there walking past mid court, and he celebrates a basket here. And you think it's a game winning basket. And this is like, wow, a close game. And you watch Missoula here, he gets a fist punch, bump, and he fist bumps. Then they pan over. The coaches are winning 57 to 4. And it's just like, I love the fact that he's just like, you're not playing the media this year. You're playing the coaches. We're gonna rock your ass. We're gonna boat race you 57, four. And I just. He's growing on me. I mean, I like Joe Missoula.
- [31:18]
Dan LeBatard
I like it.
- [31:19]
Adnan Virk
I like it.
- [31:20]
Tony
Look, I think he's in the same place that Mike McDaniel was in. Difference is he won a championship. Mike McDaniel didn't. But it's still the same thing, which is all this cute stuff is cool when you're winning. All the quirky answers and a T shirt says God, jiu jitsu and coffee and all that stuff is cool when you're winning. When you stop winning, the patience and the tolerance for all the quirkiness goes right out the Window. And so this year, I think the Celtics are going to be good still. They still have good players. They added Anthony Simons, who I think is going to be really good for them. But it's like, we'll see how much appetite Boston has for them when they're not dominant, when they're not the best team in the league. Also to J. King of the Athletic, who was in that game and then wrote afterward, and he was so ashamed and embarrassed. I texted him, I said, I read it, and I said, pathetic article. Pathetic article. Jay King, did he have any of the four points? You should have gone even harder. Roasted. You should have roasted Missoula for bad decisions. Wearing down his coaches with a full court press. Then I said, you got to double down, man. And don't let any of those coaches get injured this year. If they do, you immediately tie it into too many minutes during a meaningless game. And then afterward, he said, jaylen Brown asked everyone, oh, does anyone want to do media?
- [32:44]
Adnan Virk
Ha ha, ha, ha ha.
- [32:45]
Tony
I said, when he says that, you say, let's do it. Cause we're not like these little Gen Z snively whining like, oh, I had.
- [32:51]
Stugotz
A bad day and now I have to talk to the media.
- [32:54]
Adnan Virk
It's part of your job.
- [32:56]
Tony
Man up.
- [32:57]
Dan LeBatard
How many points did you have scored?
- [32:59]
Tony
Me?
- [32:59]
Adnan Virk
Yeah.
- [33:00]
Tony
You know what I would have done? I would have locked up Joe Missoula.
- [33:03]
Matthew Berry
Wow.
- [33:04]
Jeremy
Yeah.
- [33:04]
Adnan Virk
And you would have said, no, I'm.
- [33:05]
Jeremy
Not even scoring tonight.
- [33:06]
Dan LeBatard
You're not scoring.
- [33:06]
Tony
You're not scoring. And by the way, if he gets by me throwing something dirty. Yeah, chicken wing, chicken wing. I'll let them know we're not here. You know what? We're here to compete. We're not just here like, oh, my God, you guys are so good.
- [33:18]
Dan LeBatard
No easy ones.
- [33:19]
Stugotz
Get out of here. Matthew Berry's here.
- [33:21]
Tony
Hey, Matthew Berry.
- [33:24]
Adnan Virk
Matthew Berry. Matthew Barry. Matthew Barry.
- [33:32]
Matthew Berry
It ended quicker than I thought it was going.
- [33:34]
Stugotz
There you go.
- [33:35]
Adnan Virk
That's what she gotta get the timing down. Go ahead.
- [33:40]
Matthew Berry
Oh, all right, here we go. And every game this season but one, the Detroit Lions have allowed multiple touchdown passes. And among their issues, deep pass attempts. Their bottom five of the NFL in both yards and touchdowns allowed on deep passes. Who do they play this week? Baker Mayfield, who, by the way, only one quarterback in the NFL has more deep pass attempts than Baker Mayfield. Start Baker. I don't care who is. His wide receivers are, by the way, other side of the ball last week. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers years have allowed at least 340 passing yards to an opposing quarterback in two straight weeks. Those quarterbacks, Mac Jones and Sam Darnold. Don't get cute. You're starting Jared Goff. By the way, in the two games since Braylon Allen went on IR, Breeze hall has gotten 82% of the jets running back touches. I know you're like the jets are awful, but get this. Three of the last four running backs to get at least 15 touches against the Carolina Panthers have scored at least 16 fantasy points. They've also given up two receiving touchdowns chance to opposing running backs. Don't get weird about it. You're starting Breeze Hall. Okay. Over the last four weeks, no team has allowed more rushing yards per game or a higher yards per carry against to running backs than the Miami Dolphins. Dan, I'm sure you're aware of that. They've actually given up at least 20 fantasy points to an opposing running back in four of their past five games. Believe it or not, the Browns are actually favored in a game this week. So Quinton Judkins should have a nice game against Miami. No team in the NFL has allowed more rushing touchdowns to running back backs than the Tennessee Titans. They've in fact given up at least one rushing touchdown to a running back in every game this year. Believe it or not, Ramondre Stevenson has seen 83% of the Patriots goal line attempts over the last two weeks. I think Ramon Drake gets in the end zone against Tennessee. And Vrabel's revenge game. Over the last four weeks, only two teams the NFL lot more furniture points to opposing wide receivers than the Colts. Lad McConkey has five red zone targets in just the past two games. The three games that Rasheed Rice played last year, he had a 34% target share. Everyone in fantasy football has been waiting to get Rasheed Rice off their bench onto the field. You know who else has? Patrick Mahomes. Don't get cute. You're starting Rasheed Rice this week for three straight weeks. Three straight weeks. Travis Hunter's route participation has increased. Last week it was a season I 86%. And Liam Cohen of the Jaguars said this week the team is making it a priority to design and call more plays in which Travis Hunter is the number one option. Last week only one tight end ran more routes than Cade Otten. And with all the injuries to the Tampa Bay's pass catchers, Kate Otten saw a target share of 26% last week. Over the last two years, when Otten gets at least a 20% target share, he averages almost 15 fantasy points per game. And last week. Last one here, Dan. Only four teams allowed more yards per game to opposing Titans than the Miami Dolphins. They give. They also give the seven most fantasy points to tight ends David and Joku is banged up. This is a herald fan and win week for the Browns.

Watch and stream full episodes of Fantasy football Happy hour with Matthew Barry, NBC Sports Peacock. Get personalized info and tools for all things fantasy and sports betting@fantasylife.com I really can't believe what Matthew Barry just said. I saw 18 months of Patrick Mahomes be less than Patrick Mahomes because he didn't have his wide receivers, Matthew Berry saying, Baker Mayfield don't care who his receivers are. Receivers do not matter. Take. Take Baker Mayfield. What kind of insanity is that?
- [36:58]
Matthew Berry
Baker has managed it. I mean, last week, Tez Johnson, Cameron Johnson again, Kate Otten, you know, he made a mecca. Buca is currently the betting favorite to be offensive rookie of the year. We'll see because of the injury if that happens. But like, Bakers has made everyone great.
- [37:12]
Tony
Great.
- [37:12]
Matthew Berry
Baker's made everyone great. And Mahomes, I think, hasn't had to do that just because his defense has been so good over the last couple years and they've had people in or out as well. But look, Mahomes is great. He's the goat. I am. He's amazing. First Battle hall of Famer. I get all that. But if I had an MVP vote and you took it today, Baker Mayfield's the MVP of the NFL.
- [37:29]
Stugotz
Matthew, good seeing you. A total insanity. Everything he just said, I cannot believe it's the middle of the season in 2025, and Mahomes needs receivers.
- [37:37]
Adnan Virk
But Don Baker.
- [37:38]
Tony
Baker.
- [37:38]
Stugotz
Baker doesn't need receivers. Okay.
- [37:40]
Adnan Virk
Do you.
- [37:40]
Matthew Berry
You disagree with that takedown?
- [37:41]
Stugotz
No, I don't. I just can't believe that it's true.
- [37:44]
Matthew Berry
Yeah, look, but Mahomes has been good the last couple of weeks as well. I mean, again, Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown. You know, he was missing Xavier Worthy for a few weeks. I think it's a fair. I think it's a fair criticism or question. He just. I don't know. Baker's been playing better. You know, it is. It is sort of insane to think that.
- [38:02]
Stugotz
No, it is. It's totally nuts. Matthew, thank you. We appreciate the time. We appreciate that you make it quick. Our apologies that the zoom and the music left you totally vul vulnerable there. Going as fast as you possibly could without the music. You need to buoy you. We'll do better next time. Thank you, sir. We probably won't do better next time. We're going to have Billy's top five and the club. We're going to put it in the last segment and say goodbye to Billy in a way that finally gets to his top five. 34 Olis on things that he won't miss. I honestly thought it was going to be 1,000,034.

Not as hard as it's made out to be. And now with compute, you can make anything look like anything. It's almost cheating. It's not fair. If you push a button, it takes a thousand pictures. You're going to find a good one in the batch.
- [42:33]

There were a lot of photographers there taking thousands of pictures. One got that photograph. Okay, good retort, Stugarts.
- [42:44]

Haven't you ever passed by photographers? I guarantee you when that shot was taken, we didn't just hear. That's not what you heard. If you were by that camera.
- [42:54]

Only the greatest of expenses on how to celebrate Billy Gill's final segment on the show with us. We have an assortment of toys that suggest great enthusiasm.
- [43:20]
Jeremy
Crack it. It's fun. I just think I already did. No.
- [43:26]
Stugotz
Before we get to this party celebrating his punctuation, Billy Gill, 15 year extraordinary run on our show, Chris Cody, tell people about the watch party we're going to do. Very close to Billy's hood. Closer to Tony's hood.
- [43:38]
Dan LeBatard
My hood.
- [43:39]
Stugotz
We don't do this very often. The hood, A rod's hood. The watch party with Miller Lite. Give people the details.
- [43:45]
Adnan Virk
That's right, Dan. We're throwing a Miller light watch party for Thursday night football. Dolphins versus Ravens at Flanagan's in Kendall, Southwest 88 street and Kendall Drive. Join us Thursday, October 30th for a Halloween block party. Costumes encouraged. The whole crew will be there. Dan, Chris Roy, Tony, Jeremy Amin, Dave Damchek and more. Party starts at six. Billy.
- [44:05]
Stugotz
I do want to do the top five things Billy Gill will not miss about being here for 15 years. Hell of a run, Gil. 15 years doing any job is a hell of a run.
- [44:18]
Dan LeBatard
And after all those years, Dan calls you Gil for the very first time.
- [44:22]
Jeremy
Let down his vulnerabilities on a last name basis.
- [44:26]
Stugotz
Number five.
- [44:27]
Jeremy
Well, no, there's a new Oli. Oli. Number one, B. Dan interrupting the top five to get to Adnan Virk talking about George Steinbrenner. Number five, Danny B. Remembering to bring everything on a trip except one thing. And that one thing was usually the thing that made all the other things work.
- [44:50]
Dan LeBatard
Yes, thank you.
- [44:54]
Jeremy
Number four.
- [44:54]
Adnan Virk
I thought you were gonna say Danny B. Bringing something up at the end of a meeting.
- [44:57]
Jeremy
No, that's Jason's rule. Number four. The useless sound montage. It's so good. Number three, Finding out things that happen in the company from awful. Announcing.
- [45:12]
Tony
I still am.
- [45:13]
Jeremy
Number two. The grid of Dentek punishments.
- [45:19]
Stugotz
You didn't have to suffer many of them.
- [45:22]
Jeremy
Number one thing I will not miss from the show, being asked where people is.
- [45:32]
Stugotz
What a triumphant return for Billy Gill. Would anyone like to say anything heartfelt here in the last couple of minutes that we officially have with Billy Gill, or do you just want to talk more about Joe Flacco and Max Scherzer?
- [45:47]
Dan LeBatard
I mean, lost in all that Aaron Rodgers looking pretty good this season. That throw a couple of interceptions.
- [45:53]
Stugotz
That throw. Aaron Rodgers made a throw longer than anyone has made in the league since 2017. That Hail Mary throw. No one's thrown a football that far since 2017.
- [46:03]
Tony
I just like this opportunity to plug episode 169 of Cinefo. Billy was on that one. We did speed too.
- [46:10]
Dan LeBatard
So cruise control.
- [46:11]
Stugotz
Yep.
- [46:11]
Adnan Virk
Greg has. Greg Cody asked you to be on his podcast yet?

Yeah. Your dad's gonna be so mad at me because he. He like texted me a couple nights ago asking for comment on his article and I was like, no, I will not give you a statement for this thing that you're leaking. Like, no, I'm not participating in that.

Adnan Virk
And then he's like, well, come on my podcast.
- [46:32]
Jeremy
I was like, please don't do that. And then, yeah, later he's like, incidentally, while I have you here, maybe we could do a podcast episode. Maybe you could come on as early as Friday, if not, you know, Saturday or Sunday. And then I got a text from him yesterday that I need to respond to that I haven't opened yet because I knew exactly where it was, but it's like, hope the day went well. Was. And I just saw dot dot and I was like, okay, this is just. We're checking in to see when the availability might be.

Stugotz
He's just trying to use you for clicks. If you've got any lovely or final words, those can be the final ones that you want as punctuation. If not, we're going to play the song here again and see if it, you know, I can keep it together. Gilly.

To go where apple pies and eagles fly it's hard to say goodbye an onion won't be the thing to make us cry when it's hard to say goodbye.

Dan LeBatard
Past tense. Hey, audience. I got a special treat for you because I want to talk to you about Miller Light, but I want to talk to you about Miller Lite with my good friend Rose. Hey, Rose.
- [48:51]
Adnan Virk
Hi, everybody.
- [48:53]
Dan LeBatard
When we hang Out. And we hang out often. We're friends. I consider us friends.
- [48:56]
Adnan Virk
Yeah, me too.
- [48:57]
Dan LeBatard
We're often toasting the good times. And what am I toasting with?
- [49:00]
Adnan Virk
With Miller Light.
- [49:01]
Dan LeBatard
That's right. Miller Lite. Whether you're hanging out with your dear friend Rose or at game day, it just hits different when you got a Miller Lite in your hand. From jaw dropping touchdowns to fantasy heartbreaks, it's a beer that has been there for every moment. 50 years of great taste, simple ingredients, and that iconic golden color that you can spot across the room. And it's just not the color of the beer, which is brilliant. That beautiful white can. How beautiful is that? Is that you doing the sound of a can opening? Is that your favorite sound?
- [49:26]
Adnan Virk
No, it is a horsey.
- [49:27]
Dan LeBatard
A horsey. All right, well, stop doing that. And here's a kicker. Miller light is just 96 calories, 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. The original light beer since 1975. That's right. And still hitting different five decades later. You're so good at this, Rose.
- [49:42]
Jeremy
I know.
- [49:42]
Dan LeBatard
So whatever your game day looks like, remember, remember, Miller Time is always a good time. Look at us. We're a great tag team. High five again. Can you do that? That beer sound one more time. And the horse sound one more time. I regret asking you about that one, but the Miller Light sound is good. Miller Lite, great taste. 96 calories. Go to millerlight.com in to find delivery options near you. Or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. It's Miller time. Celebrate. Responsive Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee Whiskey. 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounce ounces. No, it says.

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo, what are you doing here?
- [50:27]
Stugotz
Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
- [50:30]
Dan LeBatard
Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.
- [50:37]
Stugotz
Sweet, delicious Cuervo.
- [50:38]
Dan LeBatard
Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.
- [50:43]
Stugotz
Cuervo.
- [50:44]
Dan LeBatard
So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo.
- [50:47]
Stugotz
