[Chris Cody]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

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.

[Chris Cody]

[Chris Cody]

Let's go around the room here. Chris Cody, you start. Pronounce the name of the Miami Heats point guard, please.

[Dan Le Batard]

His name is. It's a tough one. Yokachunas.

[Chris Cody]

Bill, you want to take a crack at it? First and last name.

[Billy Corben]

All right, let me see how it's spelled here. Hold on. Loading the point guard. So he said.

[Chris Cody]

Yep.

[Billy Corben]

Tyler Herro?

[Chris Cody]

Nope.

[Billy Corben]

Davion Mitchell?

[Chris Cody]

Nope.

[Billy Corben]

Those are the only two point guards listed on this roster.

[Chris Cody]

Well, keep going. The one that's 1 for 15 from Summer League in three games has missed all his threes and has 12 turnovers.

[Billy Corben]

Summer League? Hold on. I'm still riding high on Cole Swider's performance from a couple days ago. Swyder Whip.

[Chris Cody]

All right, we'll come back to you. Zaz, do you have a guess here? You want to take a shot at it?

[Mike Ryan]

Jacksonis?

[Stugotz]

Mike Ryan says nailed it.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Casper Yakachi.

[Billy Corben]

He knows, though, that's cheating.

[Chris Cody]

Well, no, because they pronounced it differently. Both. Both him and Mike are pronouncing it differently, and I wanted to present to the group the idea of when do you have to give someone the courtesy of learning their name because they've played well enough to force you to earn their. Earn you pronouncing it correctly. I had to try Antetokounmpo a ton of times before he became great on television.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, this is a bunch of, like, American stuff, but we still don't know how to pronounce Jokic and Doncic. Like, we vacillate between Doncic and Jokic.

[Billy Corben]

Just generally. You should learn how to pronounce someone's name properly, not just because they did well.

[Chris Cody]

Well, thanks, but I just asked you to, and I still don't have any proof.

[Mike Ryan]

Be a good player. I'll learn how your name.

[Stugotz]

Let's get ready to learn Fenerbahce.

[Chris Cody]

Mike is very excited. I don't know how much of his attention we're gonna have because in 10 minutes, there's gonna be live tennis that he wants to watch, and I can't do shows with him, especially not on a wild Willie Wednesday when he's totally distracted and not paying attention to what we're doing.

[Stugotz]

It's your American duty, if you like tennis, to be locked in today at 9:10am on the grass courts of Wimbledon as we have an American already in the semis. We're looking to have two American males in the semis. Ben Shelton takes on Jannik Sinner today. Sinner should wipe the floor with him, right? But Sinner's hurt. He's taken MRIs. He canceled practice yesterday. The money line on Sinner is tumbling down. Shelton's got a real shot here to pull off a big upset and get one step closer to perhaps having two American males in the Wimbledon final. Just days after Greg Cody posited that terrible at tennis, he does have his.

[Chris Cody]

Frustrations with American tennis. And he got no rebuttal from us here because Americans are not winning majors. But we didn't talk about the fact that Americans are in the top 10. For the first time in a long.

[Stugotz]

Time, we have three Americans in the top 10, the first time since 2006. You have to trace back to the Agassiz days to find a time where there were more, where there were just as many Americans in the top 10. And TFO is like, right on the outside looking in, especially with hardcore season coming up. He has an opportunity to. To perhaps get into the top 10. Right now. We may not be winning the majors, and that's going to be really Difficult with guys like Alcaraz and Sinner around. However, in terms of, like, pound for pound depth, you can put the United States right up there with anybody.

[Billy Corben]

Where does tennis rank in terms of American social relevance?

[Stugotz]

You mean, like in the cultural sports landscape?

[Billy Corben]

I felt like tennis used to be bigger in America, but, like, I also feel like a lot of things used to be like that. And I just don't know if I'm just. It was bigger when a different life.

[Stugotz]

It was bigger when we had Agassi and Sampras. Now, Sampras wasn't really this cult of personality. He played off of Agassi. And Agassi was absolutely a rock star on that tour. And, yeah, Americans kind of need to see Americans winning on the men's side to really get into it. Keep in mind, we're the country that birthed Serena Williams. Coco Gauff just won the French Open. But for Americans to be captured by tennis, it seems to need to be a male that wins a Grand Slam.

[Tony]

Pickleball killed tennis. What's up, guys? Tony here and I wanted to talk about something super important. And that's how I keep my home protected. Obviously, you guys know I have a little one back at home. My wife is there with her, and I get tremendous peace of mind knowing that the moment I leave for work, that my home, my property, my family is protected not just reactively, but proactively by simply safe.

And by my side throughout that entire championship celebration has been Miller like.

[Chris Cody]

Whoa. You stumbled onto another Wild Billy Wednesday. Hold on to your hats, partners. It's about to go well. Tony. Tony just announced with enthusiasm that he loves Wild Billy Wednesday, that it's his favorite day of the week.

[Tony]

Ah, there's nothing like a Wild Billy Wednesday, where each and every second of the day that we're here, Billy hates it more than anything. And every time we do one of those a spit and a spittoon die right there, a little piece of his soul dies.

[Chris Cody]

And I When did the spittoon die? When did we stop using the spittoon? When did spittoon makers go out of business? Because they were like, ah, no more places where people need to just spit.

[Tony]

I think the plastic water bottle killed the spittoon.

[Billy Corben]

Now spittoon.com biggest year they've ever had. Last year.

[Stugotz]

Well, was it primarily made for chewing tobacco? Yeah, I guess when people stop doing that regularly.

[Chris Cody]

I would love to know some of the history of the spittoon, whatever it is that you can get me in terms of spittoon information. I gotta think that the spittoon, over the last Half century, maybe the last century doesn't have a whole lot of usefulness. I don't think spittoon makers are having any luck in the industry.

[Stugotz]

You know what was crazy in the time of the spittoons is people would pull up to the bar and just pee there. At the bar. They would either have a trough below the bar stools or they would have a bucket where people would just whip their wieners out and pee.

[Mike Ryan]

You ever use a trough?

[Stugotz]

I hate it. Yeah, I don't like people looking at my wiener.

[Mike Ryan]

Use the trough at Fenway Park. Fenway park, like the 21st century, still doing a trough.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, I'll hold it. Thank you very much.

[Chris Cody]

Wrigley Field disappointed me in that regard once upon a time. I'm assuming they've since fixed that, but yes. The Orange bowl used to have the trough that was filled with urinal cakes. That was one of the worst places on earth. It felt to me like what the bathroom would be like in hell. Like where you're just. You're just in hell. You're wandering around, you're being tortured, everyone jumps out of the bushes, stabs you with pitchforks, you got to go to the bathroom. And then it's worse.

[Stugotz]

And trying to look at your dick, too.

[Billy Corben]

Wait, what are you expecting? Those are like old stadiums. The old stadiums. I would want the trough. Like Fenway, Wrigley. Those are the ones where you go and like. Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Don't understand why people were just so indifferent decent back then. Like, yeah, no, just look at everybody's wiener. It's fine.

[Chris Cody]

Well, since you've now brought that up, I want to go to Billy here because I heard, overheard. Because to be honest, I was listening to a conversation that I was not involved in.

[Billy Corben]

It sounds like a betrayal.

[Chris Cody]

A betrayal is coming. Yes. Because I heard you this morning say to somebody that you were talking to that your doctor asked you, how are your privates? And your response was. Isn't that a question for you?

[Billy Corben]

Well, no. It's an upcoming conversation to be had. I'm going to the dermatologist, and the dermatologist does, like. Oh, yeah, like body scan. Yeah. Where they see you, they look you up and down. Not in an inappropriate way, in a professional way. That's their job.

[Mike Ryan]

How would you know the difference?

[Billy Corben]

I don't know, but I assume that it's professional. It's always seems professional. It's consensual, but in an appropriate way because I'm married. So I consent to the doctor doing their job of looking up me up and down in a state of undress, but not in a way that is, you know, inappropriate to my marriage. It's. It's appropriate in this context for. For doctor.

[Chris Cody]

What was I overhearing, though, in terms of your. It seemed like you were deeply uncomfortable, and I must have misheard because I thought it was a doctor you had just gone to and asked. Or that doctor had asked you, how are your privates? And I thought your response was, isn't that a question for you?

[Billy Corben]

Well, so. So no. When they go and they look you up and down, it's the same. It's an annual checkup that I'm going for. But they, like. They. They look at my. My butt, they'll tell me, all right, now either pull down your, you know, your underwear. We need to check out your butt. Or like last year, they checked one cheek at a time, which I thought was weird. It's like, we just, like, check it all at once. Instead of pulling one side down and pulling it up, then pulling the other side down, we just pull down. Because you're in the robe and you're just wearing your undies. Even socks come off because they check your feet.

[Tony]

Are you standing in this or.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah, yeah, I'm standing.

[Tony]

Like a kneel down, like, bend over kind of situation? No, because they got to check everything. I don't know.

[Chris Cody]

I'm asking. I thought.

[Billy Corben]

Usually I'm a dermatologist.

[Chris Cody]

You put your hands on the. You put your hands on that paper, that cruddy paper that they put over the bed.

[Dan Le Batard]

I've never been told to put my hands.

[Stugotz]

I've never had someone lift one cheek and then lift the other.

[Billy Corben]

No, they don't lift the cheek.

[Chris Cody]

They.

[Billy Corben]

They lowered the underwear on one side, and I had, like, a half thong while they checked one side and then they lowered the other. And I was like, we could just pull it down and check it all at once. We don't need to do this.

[Stugotz]

Which doctor is.

[Billy Corben]

It's dermatologist.

[Stugotz]

All right, so they're checking for, like, I guess, like, skin.

[Billy Corben]

They're checking your skin. I have skin on my butt. I hate to say it. I have skin on my butt.

[Stugotz]

No, it's all right. I just don't go to the dermatologist.

[Billy Corben]

Big mistake. You gotta go check.

[Dan Le Batard]

Look at my skin. I obviously cancer every year. And I recently went. And the same thing happened to me, except I didn't get the butt check. I whole body, like legs, arms, neck.

[Billy Corben]

Underwear on or off?

[Dan Le Batard]

Underwear's on.

[Stugotz]

We're in agreement that you should definitely Be going to the dermatologist. Thank you.

[Dan Le Batard]

And I do. And when I go, I got the same thing, but I didn't get the butt check. The guy basically at the end, he goes, anything in the private areas you want me to check out? And like, Billy, I'm like, I mean, I don't know the answer to this question.

[Billy Corben]

Some of us have a cute butt.

[Dan Le Batard]

I like to check. I like to think, no. And then I. But I was just like, I think I'm good. So I never got that area checked. Not the butt or the front?

[Billy Corben]

Well, the front they normally just avoid. But like the last year, they're like, anything in your privates that you want me to check? And I'm kind of like, I don't know, I think everything's fine. But I don't just want to, like, whip it out and then have it be like this uncut. Like, I'm trying again, married man here, you know, I appropriately am checked out and not ogled because that's inappropriate. I'm appropriately checked and established state of undress. But I'm not just going to, like, expose everything if it's not part of the test. So it's kind of like, do you think you're good? I'm like, I think so, but I don't know. But then I'm not. So I'm just assuming I am. So if something kills me, it's probably in that area.

[Chris Cody]

Put it on the poll, please. At Lebatard show. Do you know that your privates are okay without a dermatologist's help?

[Billy Corben]

A dermatologist could find something on my arm that I think is just a freckle or fine. And then they're like, we need to take like a biopsy of that. So honestly too, like, I don't want a biopsy of that area. It seemed like it would hurt a lot.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is why I've said I want an older doctor. If I have like a 60 year old, I'm like, check out my balls. Whereas the guy is like my age before the thing, he's like, oh, where do you golf around here? We're like, connecting. And then afterwards he's like, let me see. And I'm just like, no. I feel like we're friends now. I don't want to show you my ball.

[Chris Cody]

So you prefer nobody? You prefer no small.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, don't ask me about my golf.

[Chris Cody]

So wait, but you do it after the chat? No, but it sounds like you'd prefer to be anonymous. Like, you. You don't want this person to even know your name. You don't want anything. They're going to know the most intimate stuff about you, but you don't want them to know anything about you.

[Tony]

So, Chris, you just want to have a glory hole. Dermatologist. Don't just kind of put it in, and then people check it out, and they're like, all right, he's good.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's my handicap. After.

[Billy Corben]

Can I tell you something that I used to do?

[Chris Cody]

I would think that they would tell you about your handicap when they were looking at it.

[Billy Corben]

So here's something that I used to do along the same lines, but it's different. So, like, like, growing up Catholic, you'd have to go to confession and all this stuff, right? I would go to, like, really random churches to go to confession because I'm like, I don't want this priest knowing any of my dirty business. I know that you're supposed to keep.

[Dan Le Batard]

It a secret, but dirty was your business.

[Billy Corben]

Well, whatever it is, you know, like, I lied three times this month. I don't want them to know that, because then, like, something happens, and then all of a sudden, then I could get, like, blackmailed by the priest. The priest stands up during mass like, billy Go's a liar. And it's like, whoa, Father, forgive me for my sins.

[Chris Cody]

You guys aren't going to be able to defeat me the rest of your life in terms of the worst story in this regard that any us have.

[Billy Corben]

Well, I haven't showed my wiener yet, so maybe.

[Chris Cody]

Nope, you will not have a better story.

[Billy Corben]

I got a strong army. And showing my wiener today.

[Mike Ryan]

We're still calling it wiener, huh?

[Chris Cody]

I will use a professionally, I will use a weak. To push you away. I don't need a strong arm to push you away here. There is nothing that will happen to you at any examination the rest of your life that is worse than my story here, which is that I was a testicular. I was at a testicular ultrasound. I had my legs up in the air, and I'm as vulnerable as all of you can imagine that is. And I still remember the look, the way you would if you were damaged or scarred by something between my legs of a face popping up and saying to me at that moment, I'm such a big fan.

[Billy Corben]

I like that. How the twins doing?

[Mike Ryan]

Disarming.

[Chris Cody]

Worse as I get older.

[Stugotz]

Oh, this is weird for your optometrist to do.

[Billy Corben]

You don't want, like, an icebreaker there to kind of like. I know this is weird.

[Chris Cody]

Any icebreaker. Except that really, I'm going to go ahead and say in that region, you don't want either ice or breakers.

[Billy Corben]

Did they give you any details? Because maybe they're just a fan of your testes, right?

[Chris Cody]

No.

[Billy Corben]

That's an ultimate. I'm a big fan. It's not the ultimate unless it was in an unprofessional man.

[Chris Cody]

That's right.

[Billy Corben]

Did you say I'm a married man.

[Chris Cody]

Consensual.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

The thing that he said afterward, and I remember this because it was just horrifying in every way, but right after. I'm such a big fan. I've been reading you since I was a kid. And I'm just, you know, that's not the time for that.

[Billy Corben]

If it was about the testes, that's really weird.

Well, when Fidel died the first time. This is the Don lebatar show with the stugats.

[Chris Cody]

Let me play for the folks here some video and audio of just a tremendous golf fight. You do not get to say this very often. I can't say for sure that I've ever around here showed a video of any kind of a golf fight. Like, what do you guys imagine a golf fight looks like? Chris, what is your favorite part of this video? Because as often happens with golf, some people up ahead are drunk and playing too slowly and the group behind them gets agitated. And what happens next is that the people who were drunk and are objecting to the people who are agitated don't know or realize that there's a former Florida Panthers enforcer in the group that would like them to move along a little bit. And so what happens after that? We're going to call it a fight, right? Because. But this is one sided. This is. It's not two people fighting. It's one person who's fighting and the other person is just taking a beating.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, no, but, but, but it's, it's two active participants. It's not like one guy decided, all right, I'm gonna beat out of you. Like, it's two active participants.

[Chris Cody]

All right, well, let's play that now so that you guys can have all of the context for this.

[Dan Le Batard]

Now he runs at the enforcer. Enforcer throws him into a lake.

[Mike Ryan]

He told him he was going to throw him into the lake, too.

[Billy Corben]

You want to know?

[Stugotz]

I got it all.

[Dan Le Batard]

Crawling out of the lake. Going back at the enforcer, helping our audio audience with the bangs.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, he's saying bang. Every time he hits him in the face. It's, he's just say he's putting bangs in. Enough.

[Mike Ryan]

Are you still cheering on you?

[Chris Cody]

Enough.

[Mike Ryan]

Get out.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is the best. He could have kept punching him, but he just tosses him.

[Chris Cody]

He doesn't want to keep hitting him. Like he's, he's, he doesn't want to. He knows his fists are weapons. He doesn't hit the Other guy with his fist, he just pushes him like he. It must be one of the greatest confidences in the world to know that you can fight like that.

[Billy Corben]

Who knew Mike Breen had it in him?

[Chris Cody]

The bank. There are five punches to the face, each of them accompanied with audio sound effects provided by the deliverer of the punches.

[Mike Ryan]

And the bang is like a direct hit because you're not going to say bang if it's an errant.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, no. But keep playing it again. I want everyone to see all of this, because it's not just that he's saying bang, he's saying bang. With impeccable timing, like, he knows that that's going to land before it lands. And they all land. It helps that the other guy's drunk.

[Stugotz]

And half his size.

[Dan Le Batard]

And before the fight actually starts, the guy who gets his ass beat does the thing of, like, I'm trying to intimidate you.

[Chris Cody]

What? What?

[Dan Le Batard]

And then he gets his ass beat.

[Chris Cody]

Mike says that he's small, but he's not small. He's smaller. He's smaller than the other guy.

[Stugotz]

I mean, he's half his size. This dude has. The former Panthers Enforcer has 100 pounds on this guy.

[Billy Corben]

He is.

[Stugotz]

The guy he's fighting is tiny.

[Dan Le Batard]

Thank God for this guy's friend, though, because this is a longer video. Like that one point like his. His drunk friend is just like. He's like me in that spot.

[Stugotz]

Please stop, Chris. It is an absolutely wild move to get thrown into a pond and to crawl out for more.

[Mike Ryan]

You notice, though, it's like he's still fighting like a hockey player, because normally two guys fight. It's just, you know, let's throw some punches. No, no, no.

[Billy Corben]

Grab the shirt.

[Mike Ryan]

This guy's name. His name is Nick Tarnaski, all right?

[Chris Cody]

He.

[Mike Ryan]

He grabs the drunk guy by the shirt because you got to hold on when you're on skates, and then bang. Bang.

[Chris Cody]

I want you guys to imagine the drunk guy's friends right now just saying to him, do you know how hard it is to almost get thrown into a lake one and three quarters times because he got thrown into one lake? And then only because he slipped in the momentum of being thrown into the other one, did he not land in a totally separate leg? Like, it is really hard to lose a fight this impressively when the person winning the fight doesn't actually want to fight you, has no interest.

[Billy Corben]

Billy, once he got going, he was.

[Chris Cody]

Getting into it, okay?

[Billy Corben]

But Billy, he's holding up the shirt so the guy doesn't fall so he could keep banging him.

[Chris Cody]

Billy, the second. The second time that he throws him almost into a lake is the time that he could have turned his face into hamburger because of how he had him lined up and already woozy. He was kind by taking him the second time and just launching him. But I just wonder which is more embarrassing to you. I would say the next day you're with your friends, okay, and they're like, yeah, we understand. Your face is swollen. That's an NHL enforcer. What bad luck. You know what? What are the odds?

[Dan Le Batard]

At least it's not on video.

[Chris Cody]

What are the odds that we would be on the golf course and the guy we'd run into agitating would be a guy who fought for a living, stayed in hockey only because he was someone who could fight? That's terrible that that would be your odds. But then your friends say to you, terrible face. And he caught you with all five shots and said bang each time. However, do you know how close you were to going into both lakes with your deck shoes and your collared shirt and shorts? Like you. You almost went into both lakes one more time. I just want to see the ending of this because I want to watch all of it just to see Chris. I think I have this right. I think he was saying bang before the connection, not upon connection, like it was just upon. It was right before all of the punches landed. But I want you to see how close he was the second time to going into the second. And only because he's drunk and clumsy did he not go flying past that tree. I can't believe he told him he was gonna throw him in the lake and then did he just did it? The lake was not close when he said it.

[Dan Le Batard]

And the way he crawls out of the lake here.

[Mike Ryan]

Did you hear in the background the enforcer's friend says, once that guy falls into the lake, he says, good start, buddy.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're also trying to deter with, I'm recording this.

[Chris Cody]

I got it all in recourse. Now watch here on the charge here. Now watch when Jason Kelsey starts to stagger here and then charges right past him. You can see Jason Kelsey's got no shot here. So he almost slides through the marsh into the second time.

[Billy Corben]

You have to lie to him, right? Like, if you're his friends, should have seen him. Shouldn't have seen the other guy. Did a great job, buddy. Hoping that video never comes out.

[Mike Ryan]

At what. At what point the next morning do one of the friends tell the guy who got his ass kicked by the way it's been viewed over 4 million times on multiple accounts.

[Chris Cody]

I got it all, Billy. The Marlins have now won 11 straight road games. Yesterday they allow a first inning home run and then scored 10 unanswered. In the last month, the Marlins have won more road games than all of the following teams combined in the last month. Yankees, Mets, Cubs, Braves. The Marlins have won 11 road games in a row. The Braves have won 15 road games all season.

[Mike Ryan]

Braves suck.

[Billy Corben]

Billy, I've been telling you, listen to me.

[Chris Cody]

The Braves are still better than the Marlins.

[Billy Corben]

No, they are not.

[Chris Cody]

Well, they're behind them in the standings. The run differential is much better than.

[Billy Corben]

The Marlins, only by 52.

[Chris Cody]

But the Marlins can hit the baseball. And I believe that that run differential over the first half of the season is distorted because of what happened the first month. And I don't know if it's real but. But their hitting seems real, like they, they club the baseball. I don't think it's a hot streak. Billy, are your thoughts that this is some sort of hot streak? I don't know where it is.

[Billy Corben]

I guess they, they've won 11 straight road games, seven out of the last 10. Like they're hot right now. Things are clicking. I don't know that this is sustainable or this is who they actually are. I mean, they're still not in the playoffs, in the wild card there, I think seven games out. But it's a fun surprise that they're, that they're this exciting of a team. I don't think anyone had these expectations going into this season, but I don't know. You're now headed towards a trade deadline where we assumed they were just going to sell off whatever pieces people wanted. And now you have to wonder, like, do we add now? Because you're again seven and a half out of the wild card. There's so many teams ahead of you right now that I think you trade Sandy if you get the haul that you're hoping for, but don't settle for anything less.

[Mike Ryan]

I do think it's interesting. I think you made the point yesterday how it's a young team so you would assume they're going to continue getting better, they're going to continue improving as opposed to an older team which you know, might run out of gas.

[Chris Cody]

Billy. What I'd like to know because I believe they're just below average in terms of offense, but they have not been over the last month or six weeks. Like they are just crushing the baseball.

[Stugotz]

Some details, Dan. Over the course of the full season, their 19th in runs per game. However, they're roughly around 10th in batting average and 4th and at bats per game. So they're getting some looks.

[Chris Cody]

Looks. I don't know that plate discipline is great, but they do hit the ball. You just don't believe in it yet, right? Billy, you're not going to believe this. This kind of winning on the road and they're beating teams that are winning teams. Right. The Reds might just be a.500 team, but they are still. They go into the series as a winning team. 11 in a row on the road. I'm going to say it again. That's more than the combination of the Braves, Yankees, Mets and Cubs have on the road since June 12th. That's. That's not merely a surprise.

[Billy Corben]

That's baseball. I mean, who records things since June 12th?

[Chris Cody]

Fair enough. That's a Tim Reynolds stat, incidentally. That is not my stat. You can say that is just baseball. But where are you on this team? You're not going to give them your hope yet you don't believe it. It's certainly. You're not meeting this with anything other than, like, publicly right now talking about it. You're. You're meeting it with skepticism. You're not meeting it with enthusiasm.

[Mike Ryan]

I thought last week, like, you didn't like that they were playing well.

[Billy Corben]

I didn't.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Billy Corben]

I went to the game. They lost.

[Mike Ryan]

No, no, what I mean is, you didn't. You didn't like that you were going to be. You're going to have emotion in this team. You didn't expect that you were going to have to care about.

[Billy Corben]

Oh, I didn't want to be. I didn't want to be emotionally.

[Mike Ryan]

Yes, yes.

[Billy Corben]

No, it's fun. I mean, it's exciting. And when they come back to town, like, I would encourage anyone to go out and watch them. They're a fun, young team. It's. It's not exactly reminiscent of, like, the 2006 Marlins that everyone fell in love with. There was like, the surprise team was like, wow, Jorge Cantu, Mike Jacobs, Dan Ugla, all of them, right? Where it's like, I can't believe they might go on a run. Are they going to make the playoffs? Like, that's how I guess you could compare them. I wouldn't say I have that feeling about them, but it's a fun team and it's. It's young pieces that you could theoretically build around. And so far we're seeing that. Peter Bendix got a lot of these guys when they were just out there. For anyone to have and he's made them, you know, a competitive. Ish team. I don't think this is a team that's gonna get to the playoffs and go on a long run in the playoffs, but, I mean, it's. It's. It's a surprising team. It's a fun, young.

[Chris Cody]

I just want games that matter the second half of the season.

[Billy Corben]

I mean, matter to what extent, you know, like, you're interested. Yeah, no, you can be interested in. I don't. I don't. Again, I don't think that they're gonna go on, like, a long playoff run here. But it. It's a fun team to watch. It's an exciting team. They're never totally out of it. Even the other day, the 4th of July, they ended up losing that game. But they had runners on first and second down one in the ninth inning. Like, it was a fun game.

[Mike Ryan]

How many are they back right now?

[Chris Cody]

Seven.

[Billy Corben]

They're seven and a half in the wild card. They're 10 in the east right now.

[Mike Ryan]

Forget about the east if. If you're. Yeah, remember that. Forget about that. If you're. If you're within five games, you know, when you get into August, you got a team.

[Billy Corben]

Yes. I mean, the thing. The thing, though, Zaz, is that now with the three wild card spots, everyone's in it. You know, like back in 2003, when I was, like, a wild card, and it was five teams five games back, you're like, okay, I can get it now. Virtually everyone is in it at some point in the season. But if they keep playing, they're gonna. They could get that third spot. I mean, just two years ago, they were probably playing, right? Yeah. No, they're gonna keep playing, I think. I would say.

[Chris Cody]

I think that's a good assumption.

[Billy Corben]

By the way, I have a quick update. Spittoon still very popular at wine tastings.

[Stugotz]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Well, yes. That's. That's not what I'm talking about, though. But fair enough. Used as a. I guess it's still used as a spittoon when you're spitting out wine.

[Stugotz]

But that was helpful, man.

[Chris Cody]

The sound. The sound that we're playing of a ting off of a spittoon. That is to buy tobacco juice.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah. Were people, like, eating BB's? Like, what makes that sound?

[Chris Cody]

It's a good question because it sounds more like a bullet than it does spit.

[Tony]

It's when men had gusto in their spit. Now people spit. Willy nilly.

[Billy Corben]

Shows how to spit.

[Stugotz]

You really want me to spit? Yeah.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Tony, don't listen to him. Please don't listen to him. You're.

[Tony]

You're while Billy Wednesday. Then I have to listen.

[Billy Corben]

I want to see how men spit.

[Dan Le Batard]

You did the loogie thing. So is that in your mouth now?

[Tony]

No, no, it was dry.

[Billy Corben]

Okay.

[Chris Cody]

I. The only way that would have worked if it had been hanging from Billy's face by the end of it.

[Tony]

Why I wanted to so bad.

[Billy Corben]

Tony wants to teach us how men's.

Don Lebatard, I may take it one step further.

[Chris Cody]

Wait a minute, wait a minute. You're getting sexier by the moment. Slow down. We haven't even gotten stugats.

[Billy Corben]

Jason Sanders, you're unnoticed.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, my God.

[Stugotz]

One in spite of him.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, wow.

[Stugotz]

I love you, Duke.

[Billy Corben]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugach.

[Chris Cody]

So I I want to know from the group what you guys imagine the reaction the drunk guy, the drunk golf guy would have had if as he's squaring up, flexing and sort of doing a guerrilla scream, trying to intimidate a former NHL enforcer. If I had gone up to him at that point, because I don't know what's the drunkest any of you have been and said to him, look, According to hockey fights.com, this guy has 167 professional hockey fights. Do you want to change your mind about that primal gorilla scream you did in their face? Like, how. How drunk would any of you have to be to not be dissuaded by that information as you're squared up and screaming and saying, you know what? I understand that alcohol dilutes my discernment. My judgment is not good. I apologize, sir. Never mind. I've had too much to drink.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hockey guys friends there need to almost protect hockey guy by being like, he's a hockey player. He fought for a living. Like, there's none of that there. There's not. I mean, they were so drunk. So I don't think that would have stopped it because those guys were just so drunk that I don't think they.

[Mike Ryan]

Were thinking hockey player clearly did not want to fight the other guy literally charged.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm not, I'm not blaming the hockey player, but I'm just saying somewhere before the fight, one of hockey players friends could have been like, you don't want this noise. This guy used to fight for a little bit.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, but that's what your friends say, though. They don't. That's what your friends say when they're next to.

[Mike Ryan]

Isn't it enough for hockey player to tell him, I'm going to throw you into the lake? Isn't that enough warning to not fight me?

[Chris Cody]

No, see, that's not enough. That I'm going to throw you into the lake is not the warning of. According to hockey fights.com, this guy has fought 167 times in the NHL. A HL and echo.

[Dan Le Batard]

I see. I know this golf scene. Like, I see what's happening here. This guy needed just like a turkey sandwich at the turn.

[Stugotz]

Little Sammy, like, I'm telling you, the.

[Dan Le Batard]

Guy who got his ass speed, he's so drunk. I've been out there where you're just letting loose. It's a weekend day. You're having fun around the turn. You got to knock down that turkey sandwich. You got to put something in there.

[Stugotz]

It's tough to be that drunk. Because at around like six holes in, you're like, all right, let's get a snack. Let's. Let's nosh on a little something here.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's 16th hole. Probably no food.

[Stugotz]

That dude's just free. Basing 151, the guy who got beat.

[Mike Ryan]

Up, what do we guess his line of work is?

[Chris Cody]

Why are we doing that? You think that he's got a line of work that is.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm wondering, when that video is viewed 4 million times, does his employer look and say, I don't know if it's the right place for you anymore?

[Billy Corben]

It depends. Do you want to buy a house from the guy that's viral for getting beat up, or do you not want to buy a house from that guy.

[Chris Cody]

You'Ll buy a house from any interest from anybody.

[Tony]

Have you seen the prices out here in Kendall Day?

[Dan Le Batard]

Good interest rate. I'll buy from that guy.

[Stugotz]

Guy hard out here.

[Chris Cody]

I really don't understand what you're saying there. When you say, I'll buy a house from anyone.

[Stugotz]

They're saying Cape Coral is. No, but the thing is, I work.

[Tony]

Here in downtown Miami, so, you know, really long drive, like Stu Gotts from Cape Coral over here. So, yes, at this point, I will buy a house from anybody. I don't care who it is, as long as the price is right.

[Chris Cody]

Thank you for mentioning Stugots. He has arrived in Tahoe, and we encourage all of you to check out the new YouTube channel, Stugatz. God bless football and stupodity.

[Stugotz]

That's not the channel.

[Chris Cody]

You've got Stu tube with Stu got.

[Stugotz]

Let me help the audience and you. It's YouTube.com 90, same as his social handle.

[Chris Cody]

It's super easy to find. All you have to do is go to stutube and he is there. Let's play a clip from Stugat arriving. He has arrived in Tahoe, and Billy has been wise enough not to go on this trip because they're going to be hard times with reimbursements if Stugat is taking control of his own vehicle. And Taylor has already already learned this the hard way.

[Stugotz]

I'm trying to check into the hotel. They're like, hey, there's no card on file. I said, okay, that was. Could. It could have seen that one coming a mile away.

[Chris Cody]

I paid for your hotel. What do you mean?

[Stugotz]

They said there was no card on file.

[Chris Cody]

I. I put my card on the file. They.

[Stugotz]

This is. This is a he said, she said right now. And what I'm telling you, she said at the. The register is there's no card on file.

[Chris Cody]

And what I'm telling you is she is a liar. You think she double charged you? Yeah, I do.

[Stugotz]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

I'm not worried. Yes.

[Mike Ryan]

Did you pay cash?

[Chris Cody]

No card.

[Dan Le Batard]

Taylor's gonna get such a sunburn out there.

[Billy Corben]

My God, I don't know.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put a hat on, man.

[Chris Cody]

Billy, do you have any post traumatic stress disorder there?

[Billy Corben]

Ptsd? No, no, I've never been to Tahoe. This is the closest that I came to going. I've heard that it's very nice, very nice. But I felt like I'd leave you guys in a bad spot if I just disappeared for a week on short notice. I didn't want to, you know.

[Chris Cody]

That's the only reason you didn't go?

[Billy Corben]

Well, no, I mean, it was one of the reasons. There's a lot to take into consideration.

[Chris Cody]

Including the lack of reimbursement that would come from.

[Billy Corben]

Well, that was part of it too. Yeah. I want my kids to go to college, so I'm kind of need to, you know, make wise financial decisions.

[Mike Ryan]

And he had a dermatologist appointment.

[Billy Corben]

I have a dermatologist appointment. And also it's Prime Day. Like, I got to save my money for the deals, you know.

[Chris Cody]

Are you going to be active today on Prime Day? Are you going to crush it? Do you look forward to Prime Day? You love a bargain.

[Billy Corben]

I used to, but not so much anymore. I didn't even look yesterday. My wife started sending me all this.

[Mike Ryan]

Stuff because as they love money.

[Billy Corben]

So I was there.

[Chris Cody]

Everyone loves money.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, yeah, I know wives are saying.

[Billy Corben]

Wives aren't people, Dan.

[Chris Cody]

Everyone, just everyone.

[Billy Corben]

Well, yep.

[Stugotz]

You're on the wrong side of this.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Billy. I'm saying wives aren't people. That is what I was saying.

[Billy Corben]

I'm just trying to figure out.

[Stugotz]

Keep trying to protect him from himself.

[Billy Corben]

I am. That's saying what I'm trying to do here. He's gonna step in it here.

[Chris Cody]

Wives. Put it on the poll. Why our wives? People try to get.

[Stugotz]

Let's not do that YouTube channel he undercuts.

[Billy Corben]

I mean, if you want, you know, car seats, there's a car seat. Very big discount. If you want to.

[Chris Cody]

Let's go to minor league baseball here and a minor league baseball video that I was not expecting to see today. I will tell you again, as I have often said about referees and umpires, the longest lament that there is in sports is to lament the officiating. But I have said many, many before that the complaining about the Officiating is generally pretty weak, but beyond that, what's the point of having judges if you aren't going to allow them to use judgment and just stick to the letter of the rule? So the letter of the rule here is that this pitcher should be called for a balk. But you tell me whether it's fair to call this particular minor league pitcher for a Balkan third with nobody out.

[Billy Corben]

One and one.

[Dan Le Batard]

The count on Paulie.

[Mike Ryan]

A huge crash of lightning as Contreras kicked. And it's a ball.

[Stugotz]

Get out of here.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're gonna call that a Balkan. Everybody jumped.

[Mike Ryan]

Mother nature gives Jacksonville a run. It's 2 to 1, and Norfolk is arguing the call.

[Chris Cody]

But I don't know how you could argue that.

[Stugotz]

Unfortunately.

[Mike Ryan]

Unfortunately, don't know how.

[Stugotz]

No, don't do that. I want to say the F word so bad right now. Get out of here.

[Dan Le Batard]

For the audio audience. The pitcher starts his wind up, and in the middle, the lightning strikes, and he just gets jolted by it and stops.

[Chris Cody]

His leg was up and he just stopped.

[Dan Le Batard]

He did not get jolted.

[Stugotz]

It was super loud and scary. Everybody on the field jumped, including Mr. Tough Guy Umpire.

[Chris Cody]

Hold on a second. I want to just show the audio audience what they just realized a second ago because Chris tried to be helpful for the audience and use the word jolt, which now has us showing video of a pitcher being struck by lightning, collapsing on the mound, being smoldering, and the ump coming out and saying, that's a balk.

[Dan Le Batard]

Figuratively jolted.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm not sure that umpire wouldn't have ruled that.

[Chris Cody]

Jolted is the exact wrong word.

[Dan Le Batard]

I see that.

[Chris Cody]

Jolted. When I say if you're trying.

[Dan Le Batard]

Worst word.

[Chris Cody]

If you're trying to describe something for the audio audience that does not confuse them about a strike of lightning.

[Dan Le Batard]

He was startled.

[Chris Cody]

Jolted makes it sound. And Zaz is right about that. If that umpire is calling a balk in that situation, what's preventing him from calling a balk? In the situation where the pitcher has been struck by lightning and struck dead by a bolt that is jolted him.

[Mike Ryan]

That's ridiculous. I mean, a meteor falls into center field balk. Like, come on.

[Chris Cody]

Put it on the poll at Lebiton show. Would the umpire call a balk if the pitcher saw a meteor strike the foot of the mount?

[Stugotz]

They're there to interpret the rules. Right? It's quite literal. Everyone on the field jumps because a huge. Why is this game being played, by the way? Yeah, that is terrible. That is lightning. That is very close by. You can't be doing that.

[Chris Cody]

You.

[Stugotz]

You hold your arms up and no harm, no foul. Everybody understands what happened.

[Chris Cody]

But can you entertain the hypothetical, please? If this umpire is willing to call this in this situation, then he also, in the name of consistency, has to call it. If the pitcher has been struck by lightning and lost a leg during the.

[Dan Le Batard]

Middle of his kick, they were jolted.

[Billy Corben]

Well, hold on a second. In a Dark Knight, didn't Troy Palomalu keep playing as the field was completely falling apart? They didn't stop play on that. Like, once the play is going on, you got to play whether Bain's there or not.

[Tony]

It was Heinz Ward, I think, not Tripoli, was it?

[Stugotz]

Yeah. But either way, they both gave returning a kick.

[Billy Corben]

I don't know. Thank you, Tony.

[Tony]

Consistency, right?

[Chris Cody]

Be accurate. If you're willing, as you're always willing to help Billy, you should do so with the correct information.

[Billy Corben]

I thanked him.

[Tony]

Be weird. Troy Palomala returning a kick, which is what the opening scene is, where he has the kickoff and then he returns the kick for a touchdown as Troy Palomalu.

[Stugotz]

Be fair. Returning a kick is also weird. Yeah, it really wasn't his game, you know, no. Acl, just didn't have one.

[Billy Corben]

Like born without it.

[Stugotz]

Just didn't have an ACL and had a Hall of Fame career. Arguably. Is it arguable or is in?

[Mike Ryan]

No, he's not in the hall of Fame.

[Stugotz]

Should he be?

[Chris Cody]

Nope.

[Mike Ryan]

That's why he's not in.

[Chris Cody]

That's why Zaslo is a judge. He's a professional judge and I think he would agree with my assessment. What's the point of having judges if you're not going to ask them to use their judgment? Anyone who can protect the letter of the rule. You have judges to protect the spirit of a rule. What anyone watching that would say, if everyone on the field was startled by a lightning bolt, that should be an exception. No one, Neither manager, Nobody in either dugout would complain. If the umpire said, I'm not going to call that a balk, that is an understandable time for the pitcher to flinch.

[Mike Ryan]

The manager came out to confront the umpire. Like, what does the umpire say to him? The manager definitely came out. Yo, what the hell?

[Dan Le Batard]

There are lightning delays in baseball. Why can't that just be, hey, the game is paused.

[Stugotz]

Precisely. Of all the rules to enforce there. How about the weather ones?

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, and by the way, I don't know if we mentioned it. Like, the balk brought in a run.

[Stugotz]

Yes. Everybody advance.

[Billy Corben]

Go Shrimp.

[Stugotz]

By the way, Heinz Ward, nine time semifinalist, the resume suggests that eventually Heinz Ward should get into the hall of Fame. All time leader in receptions and receiving yards for a storied franchise and touchdowns. Greatest blocking receiver, maybe of all time.

[Mike Ryan]

You're gonna be waiting forever.

[Billy Corben]

In the name of accuracy is Dark Knight Rises. Not the Dark Knight.

[Stugotz]

Thank you, Billy.

[Billy Corben]

Number two. You know me, I like my facts.

[Chris Cody]

An important distinction.

[Stugotz]

Well, Dark Knight Rises was that. I think that was number three.

[Chris Cody]

Without it being a spoiler alert. The name of accurate, Tony. I can't remember.

[Billy Corben]

Third one.

[Chris Cody]

Heinz Ward. What happened on that kick return? Did he fall into the field? Was there?

[Mike Ryan]

No. He scored.

[Tony]

No, he was safe.

[Stugotz]

Other people on the Bain side, if.

[Mike Ryan]

The umpire was doing that game, he would have ruled a touchdown.

[Tony]

The referees did rule a touchdown. They were looking back, but shocked and then threw their hands up in the touchdown.

[Stugotz]
