Transcript

[Dan Le Batard]

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

What are you doing here?

[Stugotz]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Dan Le Batard]

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.

[Stugotz]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo, the tequila that invented tequila. Proximo. Cuervo.com Please drink responsibly.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats podcast. What a what? What a day in Kingsport. Wow. Thank you. Someone's calling us. Already on Zoom.

[Tony]

Was that Skype?

[Dan Le Batard]

Was that a Skype?

[Stugotz]

I like that. As a rejoin, I was.

[Dan Le Batard]

Quite unsettling. Anyways, the universe already ended.

[Tony]

What year is it?

[Dan Le Batard]

The universe already ended. We're just living in its echo. Hey, great day in the NFL yesterday. Those games. Bears, Bengals, Chiefs, Bills. Zaz. You saw those games?

[Mike Ryan]

Of course. I see everything.

[Stugotz]

Oh, my sports.

[Dan Le Batard]

I wish I was there in those stadiums. And sometimes, certainly with Chiefs and Bills. There's only one way to get in that stadium. By taking the guesswork out of buying NFL tickets with a game time ma.

[Tony]

That's right.

[Dan Le Batard]

You download the game time map, you create an account, and you use code dan for $20 off your first purchase. Terms apply. Swipe, tap, ticket, go.

[Stugotz]

Awesome. That's a tremendous read by Mike Ryan.

[Dan Le Batard]

Look, I navigated adversity there.

[Stugotz]

You did.

[Tony]

With no penalties.

[Jeremy]

Why did I say one time?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, I don't know what. I don't know what.

[Stugotz]

One place to go.

[Mike Ryan]

I go one time.

[Dan Le Batard]

Are you Wyclef?

[Stugotz]

I met Cody two times.

[Jeremy]

I met one place. I was trying to, you know, buoy Mike one time.

[Stugotz]

Ye.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, I'm Wyclef. I'm gone till November.

[Stugotz]

Zaz. Yeah, your kid. It cost him a lot of money.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, man. So yesterday, I got home from Jacksonville. Yesterday, late morning yesterday, I was. I was at the world's largest outdoor cocktail party.

[Dan Le Batard]

They don't call it that anymore.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, but you know. You know what? Make my own rules, Mike.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's nice. That's an unfortunate call that Florida got there. That was a catch, that, right?

[Mike Ryan]

Which was. Which was clearer? The foot on the plate in the World Series or the no catch?

[Dan Le Batard]

That was a clear catch.

[Mike Ryan]

Seemed like A catch.

[Tony]

Right.

[Dan Le Batard]

They got right.

[Jeremy]

It was also a clear out at home plate.

[Chris]

Yeah, it was. No, we have video. We have video video of the planting foot. Of the planting foot of Will Smith behind the plate. You guys don't very obviously. Digs right into the plate.

[Stugotz]

Three dimensions.

[Chris]

I also cannot believe we are in the third hour of this show, and the only World Series game seven that we have discussed is whether or not this play was safe or out, when there were some of the most amazing moments I've ever seen in a baseball game.

[Dan Le Batard]

Jeremy, we can circle back to it. You interrupted Zazzo, and I don't like that.

[Mike Ryan]

Thank you, Mike.

[Stugotz]

Be respectful.

[Mike Ryan]

Time somebody said that. So I got back from Jacksonville late yesterday morning. Couple hours out. I'm sitting on the couch in the Zazzle mansion family room. I'm enjoying a little football. I like that the Dolphins aren't playing. So it's a nice day. And my son sends me a text message, and all I haven't heard from all weekend. He's almost 17. He sends me a text message. All it says is, you're a terrorist. That's all it says. He's calling me a terrorist extreme. And I'm thinking about it for a second.

[Stugotz]

What terror have you reigned?

[Mike Ryan]

And then I realize what I did. I just right back, oh, oh, no.

[Stugotz]

What'd you do?

[Mike Ryan]

So my son was in a survivor pool. All right, A lot of money here. All right? It was one of those survivor pools. A lot of people. There was about 170 some odd people in it, and it was a hundred dollars per person. You do the Math. Grand prize, $17,000.

[Stugotz]

Holy hell.

[Mike Ryan]

All right. Yeah, $17,000. And going into this week, the 170 person pool was whittled down to 20 something.

[Stugotz]

Oh, no.

[Mike Ryan]

And he's one of the 20 something. And so earlier in the week, he's trying to. And he's planning. He's planning. If I do this year, I do this next week. I do this next week. And I'm like, don't plan. You just got to survive week to week, all right? Just take the best team possible. Do it next week, the next week, all right? So my son says, he goes, I want to take the Ravens over the Dolphins. And I'm like, no, don't. It's. It's the road team. They give up the terrible defense.

[Tony]

What do you know?

[Mike Ryan]

You know? Well, that's really what it boils down to is I don't know anything about sports. So I'm. I'm steering him off the Ravens on Thursday night, you know, it's weird. Weird things happen. Thursday Night Football, you know, and he's like, all right, well, who would you go with?

[Chris]

And you.

[Mike Ryan]

You say it, Chris. Who did I tell him to go with?

[Jeremy]

Had to be the Packers.

[Mike Ryan]

Had to be the Packers. So I steered him in the direction of the packers, and. And that's, you know, I put two and two together. And that's why he text me, you're a terrorist.

[Stugotz]

That field goal must have been like a stab in the heart.

[Mike Ryan]

$17,000.

[Stugotz]

Oh, my God.

[Mike Ryan]

I felt bad.

[Stugotz]

You know what. What's more egregious? To tell him to pick the team that ended up losing or to talk him off of picking the team that ended up winning?

[Tony]

Right?

[Mike Ryan]

I did both.

[Jeremy]

Have you been helping him every week, or is this the first time you came in?

[Mike Ryan]

No, because every week, you know, I'm like, hey, did you survive your pool? You survived. And every week he comes to me really proud. He's like, I know what I'm doing this coming week. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm like, all right, sounds great, man. Good luck. And then this week, finally, because it involved the Dolphins, and I feel like I know something, so I don't know. I don't. I don't. I don't even follow sports. And so I was like, nah, don't do it. Don't. It was like the first week I gave him advice and Osama bin Zazzling over here. I spoke to him all weekend, just. You're a terrorist.

[Stugotz]

Yes, you are. You are of the highest order.

[Mike Ryan]

I felt bad.

[Stugotz]

You should be on a watch list.

[Mike Ryan]

It's a lot of money.

[Tony]

I want to see what he planned, and if he. What he planned goes accordingly, and he wins out.

[Stugotz]

Oh, my God.

[Tony]

You owe $17,000.

[Stugotz]

You do. You do.

[Mike Ryan]

That'll be interesting, right?

[Tony]

Because he picked the Ravens this week. That's what he wanted to pick. You talked him off.

[Stugotz]

Yep.

[Tony]

He wanted to pick the Ravens this.

[Mike Ryan]

Week, wanted to save.

[Tony]

Text your son and tell him, hey, who would have been the next couple of weeks?

[Stugotz]

Show me the plan.

[Tony]

I will get the plan, and let's put it up there and let's see what happens. Because if he does and he wins out, you owe him 70 grand in cash.

[Mike Ryan]

It's a lot of money for a 17 year old.

[Stugotz]

It is. I would not feel comfortable with my kid having $17,000 just out of the blue.

[Mike Ryan]

He's going to walk around with it in his pocket. I mean, what do you Think is going to happen.

[Stugotz]

What do you think is going to happen?

[Mike Ryan]

Put it in a bank in his.

[Stugotz]

You think he's going to put it in a bank account? Have you not been 17?

[Mike Ryan]

Have it under the mattress.

[Stugotz]

17 years old, I would have been doing so much ignorant shit with that.

[Chris]

Want to make it clear? $17,000 a lot for any of us.

[Dan Le Batard]

Would be really nice.

[Stugotz]

I know, but we're adults. 17 years old, you give me $17,000.

[Tony]

That's like a million dollars.

[Stugotz]

You exactly have a bar mitzvah.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. He must have thought it's like an incredible amount of money that his father just.

[Jeremy]

I'd be like James Franklin planning like a wild trip. You see him, Tony see the vacation, the post firing vacation, Tony.

[Tony]

Not as good as what I'd like, though.

[Jeremy]

We love talking about the rich coaches with their like, we just got fired.

[Mike Ryan]

Everyone dream get fired.

[Jeremy]

Everyone thinks their life stinks. Oh, I have no time. I have no job now. I have all this money. And we saw he was at. It was at Greece. He was on some like, lake in Greece.

[Stugotz]

Brian Kelly has $54 million.

[Mike Ryan]

Think about the trip you're playing.

[Stugotz]

And it was like. I was like, you know what? His Fridays used to be like, hold on, let me watch some more film. Hello, Are you up? Oh, no. We have to do this now.

[Mike Ryan]

Friday.

[Tony]

Exactly right.

[Dan Le Batard]

Here is something we like.

[Mike Ryan]

To call reckless speculation.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're good.

[Tony]

It works. I mean, go.

[Stugotz]

Brian Kelly's having the time of his life. If I'm Brian Kelly, I've got all types of performers over. Like, I'm Paul Pierce just living my life on a live stream, asking him what website you came from.

[Dan Le Batard]

Paul Pierce has been celebrating that one championship since.

[Stugotz]

It'S man, if you're Paul Pierce, you've got to say to yourself that I didn't want to talk about Paul Pierce right now. I got distracted because I had to hit the button. If you're Brian Kelly, though, Paul Pierce.

[Tony]

Right now Paul Pierce is like, what?

[Stugotz]

If you're Paul Pierce, you're like, why isn't he talking about me?

[Dan Le Batard]

But if you're Brian Kelly, two guys that suck.

[Jeremy]

You got rattled just like Mike earlier.

[Stugotz]

I did get rattled because I one.

[Tony]

Time.

[Dan Le Batard]

Now do it with a Skype call. And your world being.

[Stugotz]

I love that ringtone, man. I mean, like being a fired coach with a buyout.

[Dan Le Batard]

The dream.

[Stugotz]

But that's how you know they're sickos. I'm like, why would you ever go back? You give me $54 million right now.

[Mike Ryan]

James Franklin in his first Interview the next week after his fire, says, I can't wait to get right back.

[Stugotz]

I will walk. I swear to God. You give me 54 million right now, I will quit on the spot. Just walk out. Walk. I'll walk to the airport. You see what I mean? You got 54 million. You can't take an Uber, though. You gotta walk to the airport.

[Dan Le Batard]

Like, midnight run.

[Stugotz]

Yep. Barefoot. I'll do it.

[Tony]

You know the way, though. I mean, you get there pretty fast.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, I'd be so tired.

[Stugotz]

It's traffic. I'm fast in the traffic. I'd be tired. You know what else? I'll be $54 million richer. Come on, man. Why do y' all feel bad for these people? For any of them? Yeah, I know. Dan sits here, tries to humanize people. Today we're doing something different. The substitute teacher is out of control.

[Tony]

We're dehumanizing.

[Stugotz]

We're gonna dehumanize these people. They're rich as man. What are we doing? What are we doing?

[Tony]

You're complaining? Oh, you're sad?

[Mike Ryan]

You're not fine.

[Stugotz]

It's not fair. I went to the National Championship game last year. Well, yeah. Guess where you went now. I'd rather be in Greece than the National Championship game. How about that?

[Tony]

Mykonos is great this time of year.

[Stugotz]

God.

[Tony]

I know you've been to Mykonos, Mike.

[Dan Le Batard]

He went to the game before the game.

[Stugotz]

Oh, whatever.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's the Orange Bowl.

[Stugotz]

Give a shit where he went. Give a shit where he's at now. An interview the next week?

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

You out of your mind?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

Now I see why he didn't want to come do our show the next week.

[Stugotz]

Of course, because he's still trying to be serious. Oh, I have a job to do. I don't have it yet, but I'll do it. What happened to the World Series?

[Dan Le Batard]

There we go, circling back. The Dodgers threw $300 million out there in the final innings of Game 7 of the World Series. And everyone's supposed to say, hey, this sport's okay?

[Chris]

Hold on. Yoshinobu Yamamoto doing what go did going from a Game six start the night before, where he gives up one run in six innings and they win the game to come back out the next night and dominate a Blue Jays lineup that had been great. I'll pull up the stats in just a second. The difference between when they were facing every other pitcher on the Dodgers and facing Yoshino Yoshinobu Yamamoto is extraordinary. I believe he gave up two runs in 17 and 2/3 innings. And otherwise they scored 31 runs in the series or something like that. I'll gather the numbers now.

[Stugotz]

I have a theory, by the way. The whole pitchers can't pitch back to back days thing, it's all bullshit in the long run. These guys have successfully negotiated load management in our sport. He's got a whole position. All you do is load, manage. Oh, I pitched two days ago. I couldn't possibly.

[Tony]

I'll see you in five days. I'll see you in a week.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's like.

[Stugotz]

Honey, can you open this jar? No, I have to pitch in three days. Well, no, they can't use this at all for anything.

[Mike Ryan]

They could pitch two days later. The starters can't start two days. Like you can't expect to go six innings two days later. You could pitch two days later.

[Stugotz]

We'll play to sport. Play to sport, man, you're gonna get.

[Chris]

Hurt if, if you do that. Oh, it's the way these guys.

[Stugotz]

So now, now we care when they get hurt, huh?

[Mike Ryan]

Kwai Leonard.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, they're very intrigued now. Quiet. Oh, now, now, now it matters.

[Mike Ryan]

I never had an issue with.

[Stugotz]

He might get hurt like.

[Chris]

17 1/3 innings for the Blue Jays offense against Yoshino. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, two runs. Blue Jays offense versus every other Dodgers pitcher. 56 in the third innings, 32 runs. That's the difference. That's why he's the MVP, because not only did he have that type of dominance, he gets three road wins, three road wins, he gets the Game two win, he gets the Game six win, he gets the game seven win. That is one of the best World Series performances we've ever seen. And from a pitcher, maybe Madison Bumgarner is like the only other example that we can look at this century. You know, you have Randy Johnson, there's other great ones.

[Stugotz]

But Josh Beckett, man, you're preaching to someone who saw Randy Johnson pitch 800 times in a five game.

[Jeremy]

I thought you're going to say hit.

[Stugotz]

A bird and that too. You know the most incredible thing, I bring this up every time when we talk about this bird. It didn't like get hit and then fall down. It disintegrated like a cartoon. Just feathers. Like Daffy Duck getting shot. Like I've never seen anything like it since. It's incredible.

[Mike Ryan]

I'll tell you though, but that, that World Series Saturday night, man, so good. I. If I'm a Blue Jays fan, I really question why I care about sports. I'm being serious about that. Because if I'm a Blue Jays fan, I'm obviously like, I'm catatonic. It's the worst moment of my life and I don't even know how I'm going to recover. It's that it's as brutal as it gets if you're a sports fan, and I really do. It makes me. Everyone's like, oh, game seven is the greatest thing in sports. It makes me question why we care about sports when that ends up being the end result. Because all of those people there in that stadium and all over the country for that matter, it was like the worst moment of their life when that game ended. I don't know how you come back. I really felt bad. I don't know how you come back from that as a.

[Stugotz]

And not a guy watching Maple Leafs low blow.

[Chris]

You have the play at the plate.

[Jeremy]

Inches away from winning the World Series. Vlad Jr. Just misses having a walk off.

[Mike Ryan]

They were two outs away from the World Series and Alex is like, all right, it never even happened.

[Jeremy]

Why are you poo pooing like he, he just missed it.

[Dan Le Batard]

This World Series is going to have a pretty big impact beyond just what we saw there. And I know that they had superstars in this game that will help grow the game. But Tim Kirch and I saw his postgame comments about how the Blue Jays might have changed the sport forever. I mean, go, go figure. Guys at the bottom of the lineup just trying to put the bat on the ball like they're a little bit of a throwback team and they have some of these new school elements where you guys, where you have guys just taking pornhacks at top there. But the roster construction around Toronto does give people a chance. Even though you, you ran into like a 2 billion dollar roster.

[Mike Ryan]

But also the old school method, you know, bunting the guy over in the 11, the giving away the out like, that's I think.

[Stugotz]

I'm sorry, what kind of hacks did you say?

[Dan Le Batard]

Porn hacks.

[Stugotz]

That's what I thought I heard.

[Mike Ryan]

I felt so good for those people. You know, what was it early in the game when you get the three run home, like, oh my God, they're so happy. They're so excited. This is so cool. And for it to end the way it did it. That's former Marlin, by the way.

[Jeremy]

Miguel Rojas.

[Dan Le Batard]

Don LeBatard always good to see everybody, despite the fact that everyone appears to hate me.

[Dan Le Batard]

Stugats yeah, I love you, but that's on You.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't know you that well.

[Stugotz]

They. Yeah, they said that you both suck ass and were bitten in the ass. So those are both things that you. You were accused of during this situation.

[Mike Ryan]

This is the D Ler show with the st.

[Dan Le Batard]

Not even the most brutal championship lost over the weekend.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, what happened?

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh my gosh.

[Stugotz]

He got his gear head off.

[Dan Le Batard]

You guys weren't watching the Cup Series finale from Phoenix, but Denny Hamlin storylines galore. Racer for Joe Gibbs racing. Owner of 2311 Michael Jordan's team that is presently suing NASCAR. His dad, terminally ill. Never has won a championship. Denny Hamlin, and it was all right there for him. He's basically the Buffalo Bills of this sport. He's won damn near 60 times. Won at Daytona multiple times. But he has never won a Cup Series championship.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm never going to understand. He races for one team but owns another.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's crazy. Anywho, guys dominating the race at Phoenix. Dominant. Leading lap after lap after lap. There are only other three other drivers that are eligible to win this championship in this race. You have Kyle Larson, you have William Byron and you have Chase Briscoe. Briscoe has a bad car battles but doesn't figure into the finish. You have William Byron and you have Kyle Larson. Teammates at Hendrick Motorsports, Denny Hamlin dominating. He's four laps away. He is leading the pack by multiple seconds.

[Mike Ryan]

What happened?

[Dan Le Batard]

William Byron blows a tire and it brings about a caution. Denny Hamlin has to change all four tires. So it goes in the pit. Kyle Larson takes the gamble. Was basically on two bad left tires. The entire final stage of that race just kept changing the two tires on the right side. You go to a restart. Kyle Larson holds position. Denny Hamlin devastated just in his. He found a way to look crestfallen with a helmet on. That's hard to do. And you had one of the. It was really gripping television.

[Mike Ryan]

Like you do something wrong? Could he have done something.

[Dan Le Batard]

Nothing wrong, man. It's just how random that sport could be. Kyle Larson, he wasn't leading any laps. He was a lap down at one point as an incredible comeback for Kyle Larson. But Denny Hamlin, you feel bad. I'm a big Kyle Larson fan. I'm rocking the five out right now. I was rooting for Denny. I was rooting for Denny Hamlin because of all the reasons that I laid out. I wanted to see the France family hand him that Cup Series championship. I wanted him to finally get that monkey off his back and win a Cup Series championship. Instead, what you had was absolute joy on one side of the. Of the split screen and damn near the saddest an individual has ever looked in their entire life competing in motorsports.

[Stugotz]

As you know what they say.

[Mike Ryan]

I do.

[Stugotz]

Thems be the brakes. Get it. Like in a car. Brakes. B rke. It's a NASCAR joke. What do you guys know about funny?

[Dan Le Batard]

You've been out to that race in Phoenix before, right?

[Stugotz]

I have, yeah. It's fun, man. Going in person is fun.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, there's a. There's a time in that track, there's one section where dog legs where you can get like seven wide and you had one of those restarts there, and it allows for something random. But if William Byron never gets that flat tire, Denny Hamlin finally gets to win that championship and you have one of the cooler celebrations and cooler moments in sports this year. Instead, your heart breaks for the guy.

[Stugotz]

This is. See, as you asked the question. This is why. This is why. That heartbreak sets the tone and gives it a texture and a patina that is only. You only get it in sports. You can't get it from fiction. It's the only way you could do it from live, uninterrupted drama. Think about it like this. Think about how San Antonio felt when Ray Allen hit that shot. That sadness is, I would say, equivalent to what the Blue Jays felt with Denny Hamlin.

[Mike Ryan]

Another game, Spurs.

[Dan Le Batard]

What you were saying about Blue Jays fans like Denny Hamlin, it was pulsating off of him. Like, why am I doing this shit?

[Mike Ryan]

Well, but at least it's his job. All right, if you're a fan, then it's really, why do I care about this? Why am I letting this ruin my life right now? That's how I felt for the Blue Jays fans, you know, awful those people feel, man, when they're leaving the stadium on Saturday night. I think Mike knows how terrible for them.

[Stugotz]

Mike's pretty familiar. How awful.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. My life is over.

[Chris]

Well, there's also like not a 32 years. There's not a world where any of them are watching Miguel Rojas. Right. Because Ohtani's up next. So you're all thinking like, oh, God, with two outs, it's going to be Ohtani. What are we going to do? They're going to get Rojas here. And then Miguel Rojas joins Bill Mazeroski as the second player ever with a game tying or go ahead homer in the ninth inning or later of a winner take all game in the World Series. Like there it was so improbable that he would play the type of role he did, he didn't play for the first five games, and then he comes into game six and has that scoop at second on the double play that almost went underappreciated because of. Of how great it was that the play was made in left field with the jump that was made. But for him to have that scoop and then hit the homer and then be the guy at second base with the infield in to make the throw home, that gets the runner at home after tripping, too.

[Tony]

I mean, tripping, fallen back, and then gained his composure and threw it back.

[Chris]

It was so cool to see a guy who, I mean, started his care with the Dodgers, has just basically been a role player his whole career, was elevated to a leadership position in Miami. We all know that that kind of ended in an ugly way. If you listen to the show with. With how it went down with Jazz. But for him to now end up back in LA and to contribute in that way after not being a piece of that team throughout most of the postseason, it was so improbable. And it kind of feels like baseball is the only sport where that specific thing happens.

[Stugotz]

Is there anybody who woke up, forget woke up today, who last night or Saturday night, excuse me, was like, oh, my God, I've been saved more than Kike Hernandez, because that MFR almost blew the whole thing.

[Tony]

You think he.

[Jeremy]

You don't think he catches it?

[Stugotz]

Absolutely not.

[Mike Ryan]

Really?

[Jeremy]

Sometimes those guys pull that out.

[Tony]

Willie Maze over the over the shoulder.

[Stugotz]

Absolutely.

[Jeremy]

Usually if they can get a glove on it, they catch it.

[Stugotz]

He was. He was turned around, lost in the sauce.

[Jeremy]

Man, I love the center field is just like, I'm Monk. I'm running over.

[Stugotz]

You could see the look on his eyes, like, oh, shit, I don't know what I'm doing. And then collision course. Oh, my God.

[Tony]

To the point that Mike was making. They threw $300 million in the last couple of innings. The guys that really stepped up for the Dodgers were the guys that weren't paid all this money. Right. Miguel Rojas is not paid a ton of money. Hit the home run. Will Smith, who's probably the mvp, if it wasn't Yamamoto, with how good he played Kot basically eight games worth in seven games. And then on top of that, Bajas, who couldn't get the bat on the ball to save his effing life, makes one of the most incredible plays. Flying over from, like, 100 yards in center field to make a grab, basically mossing his own player to get that catch. That was huge.

[Dan Le Batard]

No doubt. But also $300 million.

[Stugotz]

But also, Mike. $300 million. But it took extra innings in game seven for them to beat.

[Mike Ryan]

And coming back in game six, to.

[Stugotz]

Me, I'm always, I'm always a believer. Number one, super teams are good for sports because it gives you.

[Mike Ryan]

The Dodgers are definitely really good for baseball.

[Stugotz]

They're good for baseball.

[Mike Ryan]

Really good.

[Stugotz]

They make you tune in. And by the way, you're not just tuning in because you're rooting for them to lose. You tune in because. Pretty damn interesting. Like seeing the dude that pitches 10 innings and, and knocks out three home runs.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. But you got to keep in mind that game 7 probably, probably does not happen without that ground rule double in game six.

[Mike Ryan]

I hate that rule. The ground rule double.

[Chris]

You're telling me their rules.

[Mike Ryan]

That outfielder, he can't grab the ball out.

[Chris]

No, you stop on.

[Tony]

You can play little League over there.

[Jeremy]

Grab the ball, try to.

[Chris]

But if it's stuck, try to.

[Mike Ryan]

He can't get out. Are you kidding me?

[Jeremy]

What's, what should happen if he tries to grab it? If he tries to grab it and can't you.

[Mike Ryan]

Then you put your arms up.

[Dan Le Batard]

Try that. That.

[Mike Ryan]

I clearly know that's not how it works, but try and get the ball out.

[Stugotz]

Why can't you get the ball?

[Mike Ryan]

Get the ball.

[Chris]

You're taught, throw those hands up as soon as you see that ball stuck because you can end up in that.

[Mike Ryan]

Advantage for the fielder in that spot. Then try and get the ball out.

[Stugotz]

Isn't it, isn't it more of an advantage for the, for the runner? Because if you're out there, no, the.

[Mike Ryan]

Runs would have scored.

[Stugotz]

But I'm just saying you're fumbling in the, in the, in the thing.

[Jeremy]

One of the runs would have scored.

[Stugotz]

I don't know, man. I like, look, but my point is this, Number one.

[Jeremy]

It'S just wild. The manager of the Blue Jays says, I've been here for years, never seen that happen. And then it happens in one of.

[Stugotz]

The biggest moments happens.

[Mike Ryan]

I, I really think, I don't think I'm using hyperbole when I. Demons be the brakes. It feels like it was the greatest World Series ever.

[Jeremy]

Because, you know, look, we were talking game one.

[Mike Ryan]

Nobody expects the Blue Jays to win and they went at what, 5, 1. It's like, oh my God, Blue Jays, maybe they could do this, you know. And then you get to game three and it's an 18 inning game and the Dodgers are up two and they got the next two games at home. But oh no, the Blue Jays win both of those games and then you get the finish to game six. So the Dodgers forced to game seven and just an all time classic game seven. It feels like the greatest World Series ever.

[Stugotz]

2001 was pretty good. Yankees lost, but like it was, it was a fun series. And again that last game and seeing those assholes come up on the mound and then seeing Mariano Rivera and that's supposed to be. That's it. Marian Rivera. That's your enter the Sandman.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, Byung Kim for that matter too, was like the best closer in baseball that year. And he blew what, two games? Yeah, Series.

[Dan Le Batard]

What outside influences that. It kind of heightened the game. The Yankees became America's team.

[Stugotz]

Oh, it's 9, 11 now.

[Dan Le Batard]

Cubs, Cubs. Cleveland was pretty huge. You had both teams going a very long time without winning a championship. There's a whole series extras.

[Mike Ryan]

Was the whole series. Was it. Was it the major drama that whole series?

[Dan Le Batard]

Brother, you're asking me questions that I can't answer.

[Chris]

It's a seven game series where you have the Cubs right as this team that hasn't won in 108 years. So there's drama inherently with every single pitch. But that was the difference in this series. To me, was everyone who we spoke to like, Tony, you're watching this with.

[Tony]

Baited, but he had somebody.

[Chris]

I'm locked in because every single pitch felt like he's gambling. Such an important. Well, yeah, of course, but there's such an important moment with every single pitch outside of. Once it became 11 to 4 in the first game, it felt like the series could swing at any given moment. And to watch the Dodgers go into Toronto and do what they did with Yamamoto being this, this huge piece. To think that Shohei Ohtani started multiple games, has, I believe, three hits in the final game of the series in Game 7. Starting on the mound in that game has a game where he reaches base nine times. The first player in any game to do it has three home runs in the series. And he wasn't even the best Japanese player on the Dodgers. That's how great Yamamoto was.

[Jeremy]

It was wild after the game to see a rod at the desk when they get Ohtani there for an interview, asking him for an autograph. And it's seeming like it's a rod here. And he's just like, I. This is, this is a moment here. Like, can you sign? I think it was like his card from his like on set. It was just some card, but just. It was really cool seeing him.

[Mike Ryan]

You know what? If I could just add Real quick. That cheater sucks on that podcast.

[Tony]

It still sucks.

[Stugotz]

Let me say that about that little A rod story. You know what that was, right? A rod, like, dog, you can do this at any time. You're a rod. You can do this at any time. I'm gonna do it in the middle of the broadcast.

[Jeremy]

Was that the end of the interview when they're saying bye? And it was just more like, I want to document this.

[Stugotz]

So they're going by. You mean like the part where they throw to a commercial or someone somewhere else? But then he could just wait, like. Oh, sure. Hey, before you go, can you sign this tr. No, I'm going to do it while it's on.

[Jeremy]

You want to miss it?

[Stugotz]

You know why? Because he's trying to have a rod is like giving. Passing the torch or whatever. Get out.

[Jeremy]

It seemed genuine to me.

[Stugotz]

None of this with a rod.

[Jeremy]

I know, and I. I get it. A rod is the least genuine. But just that moment, it seemed like he was just like, this is really cool.

[Tony]

What did Jeter have just a sour puss face on the side?

[Jeremy]

Yeah, basically.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Tony]

Not that good.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Hey, watch yourself, man. Jeter, that's the captain, man.

[Tony]

Hey, we did three in a row. You did two. We did three pretty much.

[Stugotz]

Look, I mean, like, you might be that good.

[Tony]

You guys.

[Stugotz]

Don't stack it up. You want to stack it up.

[Tony]

The asterisks in the 20. 20 years, too.

[Mike Ryan]

I was a shortstop, but that means I'm good at everything.

[Stugotz]

Pretty much.

[Tony]

Half of a championship.

[Stugotz]

He had the thing where he fell into the thing and he cut his face. Remember that?

[Mike Ryan]

Derek Jeter.

[Tony]

I didn't even have to do that. I could have just caught the ball and not fell over.

[Stugotz]

No, man.

[Mike Ryan]

Project Wolverine.

[Dan Le Batard]

Don Levitard.

[Mike Ryan]

My algorithm on Instagram is Dance All Boobs.

[Dan Le Batard]

Stugats.

[Mike Ryan]

It's a good algorithm. This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugach.

[Stugotz]

Enough baseball, are you happy? Enough baseball, are you happy?

[Chris]

There's never enough baseball. Not with that.

[Stugotz]

There's enough baseball. This baseball talk is over.

[Jeremy]

Oh, man.

[Stugotz]

Tony, what happened on the train?

[Chris]

Really?

[Jeremy]

For real?

[Chris]

At the end of the season?

[Tony]

Listen, I'm gonna. I know that a former cast member would do a. A segment called the Pickle, and I'm going to revive that.

[Mike Ryan]

Movie theater sells pickles.

[Stugotz]

Oh, yeah?

[Tony]

Really?

[Dan Le Batard]

How much?

[Mike Ryan]

$2.99.

[Stugotz]

That's a hell of a deal.

[Tony]

So I'm going to bring back the Pickle. Here it is. Let's go. All right, I've got a bit Of a pickle. You know, I'm a public transportation man. Man of the people.

[Stugotz]

Yeah.

[Tony]

And sometimes the train giveth and sometimes the train taketh away. Gentlemen, I was in a bit of a rock and a hard place situation where I was on the train, okay.

[Stugotz]

Packed.

[Tony]

Okay. On the way home. And I'm sitting there and I'm like. Like, the guy in front of me smells terrible.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, he stank.

[Dan Le Batard]

He stinks.

[Tony]

He stinks bad.

[Jeremy]

Like BO or fart.

[Tony]

Like all of it.

[Stugotz]

Just.

[Tony]

Just not good. Just not good. Right. The problem is, lady behind me. So I'm standing up because the train is packed. Guy next to me, she thought it was you. Lady behind me, too much perfume. So I'm in a rock and a hard place, and the pickle is, do I lean over to the guy that smells like shit or do I lean into the lady? It's got a little bit too much perfume and it's actually, like, tearing my eyes. We just got like, tear gas on.

[Stugotz]

Give me the tear gas.

[Tony]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was stuck. So I was trying to, like, hold my breath. But imagine it's a 17 minute train ride from government center down to Dateland. I can't hold my breath for 17 minutes.

[Mike Ryan]

Smell the bottom. There's nothing worse.

[Tony]

Yeah. Nobody was packed. Mike says, switch cards.

[Dan Le Batard]

Switch cards.

[Tony]

Here's the thing. The moment I get out of that cart.

[Stugotz]

Yep.

[Tony]

They're gonna close the doors are gonna zoom off. I can't have that, number one.

[Stugotz]

Number two, the other problem, you're on a seat. Switch cars. May not have a seat. Might have to stand for that. 17 minutes, you got a seat, you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Can go in between the carts, too.

[Tony]

No, I don't like doing the in between the carts.

[Stugotz]

You can't risk.

[Mike Ryan]

You feel like it's a final destination scenario.

[Tony]

Yeah. Again, matches subway over in New York. Different store. You can kind of get in and.

[Mike Ryan]

Out all the time.

[Tony]

This is the metro in Miami, baby. I don't know if people can go through.

[Dan Le Batard]

You ever watch Under Siege two? Dark territory? You can do it with these.

[Stugotz]

Do you guys. Is this a thing? When we were kids in high school, like, riding in between the cars is the coolest thing. Like, you didn't not just pass 17 cars used to hang out there. Like, the reason why they have all those signs.

[Dan Le Batard]

You are dangerous, man.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, but, like, the reason they have all those signs in New York City subways while you're not allowed to do it is because of us. Like, our generation in high school, we were just there hanging out. You know what here's the best part, Mike. Having conversations with all the conversations have to be like this. Like what? So goddamn loud. It's how you're outside of a train in a tunnel.

[Dan Le Batard]

You guys are so cool.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, man.

[Tony]

So you guys are taking the two perfumed old lady over the bo guy?

[Stugotz]

Absolutely.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tony]

Guys in here, fairly obvious now.

[Dan Le Batard]

No one's taking Bo Tony, Under Siege to dark territory.

[Stugotz]

Juju, put it on the pole.

[Mike Ryan]

How about Under Siege one, when Erika Ellenia came out of that birthday cake?

[Stugotz]

Juju, don't put that incredible.

[Dan Le Batard]

That is a where were you type of moment.

[Mike Ryan]

We don't talk about that enough.

[Stugotz]

No, juju, put it on the pole.

[Dan Le Batard]

I found myself.

[Stugotz]

Would you rather lean into the guy with the bo or lean into the woman with the. Too much perfume on.

[Tony]

Way too much perfume.

[Stugotz]

Way too much perfume on.

[Tony]

It was tough, though. I decided to stay in my center.

[Mike Ryan]

Wow.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Tony]

I didn't go one way or the other. I stayed in the center and just tried to. Every time the door would open, I'd go kind of.

[Dan Le Batard]

Imagine Seagal in Under Siege 2 is like, imagine my luck again.

[Stugotz]

It's happening again.

[Dan Le Batard]

Like John Mc. John McClane. Well, like. Yeah. Or Sandra Bullock in speed two cruise control. It's just like how often trying to.

[Stugotz]

Go on a cruise.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, I'm taking unconventional methods of transportation here. How does this keep happening?

[Mike Ryan]

I think it's more about Liam Neeson and Taken. I mean, at some point, we got to realize, buddy, you're a bad father. How about you protect your family? Why are they always getting taken?

[Stugotz]

He did bring his daughter. The bear taking three, Right. The panda bear knocks on the door, and she opens it. It's just a panda bear. And then he. Cause he's a hell of a dad. He got a kid.

[Mike Ryan]

Ultimately, the wife got killed.

[Dan Le Batard]

At least with John Connor.

[Stugotz]

Not his wife anymore. Ex wife.

[Dan Le Batard]

With John Connor, it makes sense because, like, we know time travel is real.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

So you might as well take as many lottery tickets as you can to try to kill the kid.

[Stugotz]

Mike, I showed my kids Edge of Tomorrow.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, how about that movie Live, Die, Repeat?

[Stugotz]

No, it's always Edge of Tomorrow. Show them Edge of Tomorrow.

[Dan Le Batard]

How about Live, Die, Repeat?

[Stugotz]

And then we went back to back.

[Dan Le Batard]

But how about Live, Die, Repeat?

[Stugotz]

I will never acknowledge that name.

[Mike Ryan]

Live, Die, Repeat's such a better name.

[Stugotz]

Tomorrow. Yes, the Edge of Tomorrow.

[Mike Ryan]

What does that even mean, Edge of Tomorrow?

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know what Edge of Tomorrow is.

[Jeremy]

Like, around midnight.

[Stugotz]

It's exactly. It's like tomorrow's about to happen. But it never happens.

[Dan Le Batard]

But I, like, live, die, repeat.

[Tony]

Because you're edging.

[Stugotz]

Cause you're edging.

[Dan Le Batard]

Exactly. Well, call it edging.

[Tony]

Edging tomorrow.

[Dan Le Batard]

Edging tomorrow.

[Stugotz]

Okay.

[Tony]

One time.

[Stugotz]

Ms. Vita breaks, you know, but we went back to back. You know what we did after Edge of Tomorrow.

[Chris]

Speaking of going back to back, those Dodgers, huh?

[Stugotz]

No. Groundhog Day.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Stugotz]

Groundhog Day. And it hurt me. Kids like Groundhog Day better.

[Mike Ryan]

Really easy to understand.

[Stugotz]

I like it. Tomorrow's easy to understand.

[Mike Ryan]

Not if you're a kid.

[Stugotz]

No, it's the edge of Tomorrow.

[Tony]

What do you not get about it.

[Stugotz]

Gets a reset every time. You think it's tomorrow? Nope. Wake up.

[Jeremy]

It's today.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's Groundhog's Day.

[Stugotz]

Well, that, too.

[Tony]

But then when you go to sleep and then you wake up and it's the same thing, right? That's the difference.

[Stugotz]

This one. He's dying.

[Dan Le Batard]

You know what I'm fascinated by? Franchises that make a boatload of money overseas that don't make any sense, have sequels here in the States, like the Dodgers. Now you see me.

[Tony]

Dude, now they got three.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. Why are we doing this?

[Tony]

Now you see me. Now you don't.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why are we doing this? Because it's a big franchise overseas. Europeans love magic.

[Stugotz]

Can I mention Chinese love magic.

[Mike Ryan]

Can I mention this? Jesse Eisenberg, he's willing to do all these now you see me movies. He won't return for the Facebook movie.

[Dan Le Batard]

So wild. It's a little wild. I guess he knows that no one in the States is watching it. It's like the A list actors that went over to Asia to film a commercial because they never thought that the Internet would be a thing.

[Stugotz]

You know, when his career started to go downhill. Right. Was when he did Batman vs Superman, dawn of Justice, that little end credits, you know, Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

[Mike Ryan]

I was like, red coats are coming.

[Stugotz]

He went from, like, you know, the hot Hollywood actor. Quirky, but does dramas and all that. You're just a joke.

[Dan Le Batard]

He kind of had the career comeback, though.

[Stugotz]

With what?

[Dan Le Batard]

With the award season. Kieran Culkin won best supporting on that movie about the young Jewish men going back to where, like, all the sites of the Holocaust. Yeah, like, that was a little career comeback for him.

[Chris]

Speaking of young Jewish men, I did compile a list because nobody wants this on Netflix. Just came back. Which is a movie about a rabbi.

[Mike Ryan]

It's a show, Jeremy.

[Chris]

Oh, yeah. TV show about a rabbi wants.

[Jeremy]

No, but that's what I yeah, no.

[Chris]

Nobody wants anything that I do.

[Jeremy]

I thought you were like, I have this list.

[Chris]

Well, nobody wants this either. No, because you're gonna. When you hear it, you're not gonna think anything of it either. But the whole premise is that Adam Brody has this young woman in Kristen Bell fall in love with him and realize that she really loves Jewish guys. And so I compiled a list here because that's kind of the premise of the show. Top five Jewish actors that millennial non Jewish women have developed crushes on that made them go, huh, maybe I have a thing for Jewish guys. Or you could look at this as the top five Jewish actors that Jewish men hope to be compared to on a first date.

[Stugotz]

There you go.

[Chris]

So for millennials, and this is particularly for young millennials, Gordo From Lizzie McGuire.

[Tony]

Any of you? Any of you?

[Chris]

No. All right, we'll move on. Speaking of Social Network, Andrew Garfield, He's Oli.

[Jeremy]

He's Mot.

[Chris]

Simply because you're surprised that he's mot.

[Stugotz]

I didn't know he was mot. He's in the Tribe.

[Chris]

Paul Rudd. Oli. He's just too handsome. He's just too handsome. And no one really associates him with being a Jewish guy.

[Stugotz]

This is my Paul. This is my Paul.

[Chris]

Here's one for all ages. Jeff Goldblum.

[Stugotz]

I would have to agree.

[Chris]

He's had multiple generations of non Jewish.

[Mike Ryan]

Women go, how about Jeff Goldblum in the Fly? Good performance. He's shredded in that Brundle fly.

[Dan Le Batard]

Picking off his.

[Stugotz]

Looking like Julianne.

[Chris]

Number five, Dave Franco.

[Stugotz]

Not James.

[Chris]

Specifically Dave. We don't like to acknowledge that one. Number four, Max Greenfield. For those of you who don't know that is Schmidt in New Girl.

[Stugotz]

New Girl. There you go.

[Chris]

He really. I mean, come on. He's the ultimate example. He's higher playing it. Yes, Goldblum, absolutely. Because Goldblum. We're talking different generations here. I am talking specifically millennial women, because that guy really plays into all of the stereotyp. Being Jewish, but also, you know, he. He welcomes everyone.

[Stugotz]

Go back to that other picture you guys had up in. In the preview, please, because that guy that you showed right before, Max Greenfield, that guy looks exactly like Kevin OConnor with a wig on.

[Chris]

That's Gordo.

[Stugotz]

It's Kevin OConnor from the.

[Chris]

No, number three, Jason Seagull.

[Jeremy]

Strong.

[Stugotz]

That's strong. That's more of a you're funny and you make me laugh crush.

[Chris]

What are we known for? Number two, Adam Brody playing the hot rabbi right now.

[Mike Ryan]

And good comeback. By him.

[Chris]

The O.C.

[Mike Ryan]

Love the O.C.

[Chris]

That was the.

[Mike Ryan]

You know about the O.C.

[Tony]

I don't know about that O.C.

[Dan Le Batard]

You know who my O.C. is?

[Tony]

Oh.

[Dan Le Batard]

Pick one.

[Tony]

Mike McDaniel.

[Dan Le Batard]

Rambo.

[Chris]

And number one, Andy Samberg.

[Jeremy]

What?

[Chris]

Andy Samberg.

[Stugotz]

I've never.

[Chris]

From the day I've never met a woman joined snl.

[Mike Ryan]

Never stop. Never stop.

[Jeremy]

Big sex symbol.

[Chris]

Promise? I. I promise you. You don't have to ask me. You have to ask shiksas who are into Jewish guys. Andy Samberg, question mark.

[Tony]

No.

[Dan Le Batard]

Zach Braff. Huh? You got to pick an OC you got to pick.

[Tony]

Yeah, no, I got to go.

[Chris]

Mike Malarkey.

[Dan Le Batard]

I gotta. Give me something I want to say.

[Tony]

Kevin o'. Connell. I forgot about.

[Dan Le Batard]

You had the good OC Line. You just needed a coach.

[Tony]

I know.

[Mike Ryan]

Look at that guy.

[Tony]

Andy Reid.

[Stugotz]

Tony dribbled, jumped to throw the pass. He's like.

[Tony]

And then all of a sudden, Zaz cut baseline, and I was like, where is he? Staying in the corner.

[Jeremy]

So just petered out with Mike McDaniel.

[Dan Le Batard]

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

What are you doing here?

[Stugotz]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Dan Le Batard]

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.

[Stugotz]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

The tequila that invented tequila. Roximo. Cuervo.com Please drink responsibly.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.
