WEBVTT - Greatest Meltdowns with Joe Kilgallon

0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Greatest, a production of I Heart Radio. Hello,

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>and welcome to another episode of the Greatest. I'm Megan Gaily,

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.479
<v Speaker 1>joined by my husband and co host C J. Tildano. Hello,

0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:21.080
<v Speaker 1>how professional sounded very very official. Well, I'm worried because

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I have people tweeting at you that I sounded drunk

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>and or high on the last episode and it was

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>nine AM, and so now I think I was stone sober.

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm stone sober right now. Now. I'm worried I phased

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>into a part of my life where I just have

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>drunk lady voice even when I'm sober. Well, guess that

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 1>we have is maybe not the best person to be, Like, yeah,

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 1>completely sober all the time and very well behaved. You're

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:51.519
<v Speaker 1>supposed to give guests nice intros. One of our dearest friends, No,

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I was going to. I was just prefacing, you know,

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>some history here, long overdue having him on the pod.

0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he's going to have some thoughts about that.

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:03.639
<v Speaker 1>Probably a sixth sports podcast of the day, my former roommate.

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, gosh, and just like TikTok famous too, just guy,

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>he is killing a TikTok YouTube, great social media presence.

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.759
<v Speaker 1>Comedian we know and love and came up with Joe

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.880

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.479
<v Speaker 1>great to be podcasting with you. Easily my favorite couple

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>in the world really, I mean besides myself and my wife. Like,

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>you've had a great tweet today where you're like, this

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>is my husband whenever I like clap back at a

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 1>heckler and I'm like, damn, that's cute. Yeah, well it

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.479
<v Speaker 1>was like kind of made it. I don't know if

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>CJS no I have. I've been in the crime like hell, yes,

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.680
<v Speaker 1>getting yelled at by my wife. I thought you're gonna

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.039
<v Speaker 1>be like get on, you know, like pro woman, but

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>you're just like fortuity me freaking out. Um, Joe, congrats

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>on the no hitter. Yes, that was mostly my doing.

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I actually saw no hitter Jake Garrietta through one against

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers in l A. I was there. It was amazing.

0:01:58.240 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>And then today I just watched in my garage like

0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 1>a Chicago scumbag. But that's where I almost think sitting

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>in your garage is the perfect place to watch a

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Cubs no hitter. For the fans at home who don't

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:13.079
<v Speaker 1>know Joe, there is no bigger Cubs fan, it's um,

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>it's borderline mentally ill. The thing is they they are

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>good and they did win recently, so it's not like

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>a Brown's mental illness. It is like a kind of

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>successful mental illness. But yeah, I mean just even looking

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 1>at you right now with your setup, you you look

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.360
<v Speaker 1>like a Cub's cartoon character. I don't know. It is

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 1>getting to the point where I'm I'm hoping something's got

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>to give because it affects my mood. And I can't

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>be a father of two and have like a Cub's

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>loss make me be a bad dad. I think you

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>can in Chicago. Yeah, you're probably right. So we're recording

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>this on Sunday, first day of the NFL season, and

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I was getting really upset about, you know, something the

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Colts did. And c J was like, oh my god,

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I forgot that. This is what happens to you. Like

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 1>with the Pacers, I like love them, but there's constantly

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>it's like, Okay, then there's another game in two days.

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Like it's just like a quicker turnaround, so you don't

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 1>have to be sad for as long. And I also

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>don't think of you know, like when you look at

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>the NBA. It's like, I don't think the Pacers are

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 1>gonna win, and we look at the NFL. I don't

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 1>really think the Cults are gonna win either, but it's

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:29.239
<v Speaker 1>like better chances, so I get more invested in Psychotic

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I get it, and the NFL owns a day of

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.359
<v Speaker 1>the week. Your dad I said a great conversation with

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>your dad, Megan where he said, I mean, He's like, no,

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Mr kill Gallen, You're not one of those fans that

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>won't go out to dinner because the big games on

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>right And I'm like, no, I am. I've I've been like, hey,

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>you wanna go to this thing. I'm like, well, the

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Cubs are on, so I'll meet you there after. And

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.680
<v Speaker 1>he's like that's crazy, and I was like, no, I'm

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>that guy. And so is that why you feel like

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>you want there to be a change so then you

0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 1>can start enjoying your life more. I mean, I don't know.

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I wanted to be a change

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 1>because it does bring me a lot of joy, but

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>it also brings me a lot of anger at the

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 1>same same time, So I don't know what the change

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>might be. I think I'm a big fan of the

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Cubs president Theo Epstein, and I have a sneaky suspicion

0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 1>that the ownership is going to screw him over somehow

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.839
<v Speaker 1>because his contracts up in two years, They're gonna disrespect

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 1>him or do something like that. And I could see

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.599
<v Speaker 1>myself being like, you know what, nothing will ever top

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.239
<v Speaker 1>as a Cubs fan. It's time for me to follow

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 1>THEO because I'm such a big fan of his, and

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe I could let go of some of this like

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>insane psychotic breakdowns I have when again, when the Cubs

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.040
<v Speaker 1>don't win. There's no way that's happening from I mean,

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.600
<v Speaker 1>THEO is so great though. He is the only GM

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I can think of that had a stalker like that

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 1>is so impressive to just be you know, you're just

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the guy behind at all. You're not even like front

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:55.480
<v Speaker 1>chasing camera videos that like. I mean, he is known.

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>But wow, that gal, she she was she like wound

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 1>up on his Trump sorts. What happened. I don't know

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 1>all the details, but THEO is a young, good looking guy.

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.600
<v Speaker 1>He was a Yale graduate who won for the Red

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Sox back in two thousand four when he was like

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine years old, so everyone was like, what's the term,

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.279
<v Speaker 1>like a wonder kid or something or can I don't know,

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>some German means you're really smart and young, I think anyway,

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>And then when he came over to the Cubs, he

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.599
<v Speaker 1>was like, here's my plan. It's a five year plan.

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Year five of the plan, they won the World Series.

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.360
<v Speaker 1>That's just I don't know, He's like, he makes being

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.839
<v Speaker 1>a nerd cool, which something nerds have done. Actually, now

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 1>that I said that, allowed sports nerds are pretty cool.

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Just like it's not as much of like a phase

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 1>of having to convince you what you're cool if you

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>know a lot about sports in my opinion, Oh yeah,

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 1>when Nicety stumped the schwab boy it is it is

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:53.720
<v Speaker 1>wet ass pussy over here. Okay, so today's topic. I'm

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>so excited we're doing it. Was like when I was

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 1>excited to do my research for you are the perfect

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:03.280
<v Speaker 1>person to do it with. We are doing greatest meltdowns.

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 1>And before we even get into that, Joe, I don't

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>know if there's and I mean this totally would love

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if there's a comedian in our friends

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 1>circle who has more notorious meltdowns than you and most

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 1>of them justified almost all of them. Justified some of them.

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.359
<v Speaker 1>I will not name. I don't want lawsuits to be

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.599
<v Speaker 1>brought against me, but I've definitely been on your side

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 1>for most of them. In your opinion, what is your

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:34.280
<v Speaker 1>greatest meltdown? My greatest meltdown? Okay, I had a playing

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 1>basketball and I was like eleven years old, no, twelve

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>years It was a big game. These were like two

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:44.039
<v Speaker 1>undefeated teams and porge parks. Jim had like this upper

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:48.280
<v Speaker 1>balcony and all these girls were chanting Joey and because

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>they knew they would kissed me off when I was

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:51.720
<v Speaker 1>on the free throw line, they'd like joe we and

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>these were like girls I liked. I wasn't that mad

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.719
<v Speaker 1>with these dudes. I didn't like, we're saying some ship

0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.480
<v Speaker 1>so um. Right after like a time out, I had

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.120
<v Speaker 1>the basketball and I threw it into the stand. Was

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:01.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to hit one of them in the head. So

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 1>I threw a basketball into a crowd of people, and

0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 1>that's it's against up into a balcony. So like I

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 1>launched it and I got a tech and you only

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 1>got a technical and that you got off pretty easy there.

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 1>So I got lucky because I think the reference him

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.120
<v Speaker 1>swearing it out at me. This one kid, and you

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 1>were eleven and were your parents there? They were not.

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:24.840
<v Speaker 1>It was the one game that didn't show up to Okay,

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 1>So do you feel like you felt like the leash

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 1>was off a little bit more? I would like to

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 1>say that, but I've been um, you know my dad once.

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I remember striking out and throwing my bat and the

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 1>dugout my day going, We're going home, and I hit

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a home run earlier in that game, and he made

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>me fourth inning because I threw a bat. So I

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>haven't always held back in front of him. Yeah, I come.

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I come from a family of sports meltdowns. I would

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:55.000
<v Speaker 1>get in verbal altercations with almost every single girl I

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 1>ever played tennis against. And then I started playing golf too,

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 1>and so that's across. You're gonna see those girls again.

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 1>So then the girls I was fighting in tennis, I

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 1>would then start fighting in the fall and golf. Just

0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:11.119
<v Speaker 1>a real fun white girl cycle. My brother's psychos drop,

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 1>kicking gloves, throwing things. My brother Michael making a jerk

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>off signal at other nine year olds. He got ejected,

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>He got thrown out of the gym, like they said you,

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 1>he has to leave the building, and so then my

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>mom and my dad was the coach, so he couldn't leave.

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>So my dad's just inside coaching, and my mom and

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 1>my brother and I are outside in the car waiting

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 1>for the game to be over. C J. I don't

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.200
<v Speaker 1>imagine that the Tola Donnas have as much of a

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>past as Joe and I do. Well, I was gonna

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 1>ask you, are these what you guys are describing meltdowns

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 1>are anger problems. It's a combination of both. I think

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 1>a meltdown is kind of when you lose control of yourself,

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.840
<v Speaker 1>because I've had I've lashed out angrily where I'm like

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 1>totally in control, I know what's going on, and then

0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 1>there's other times where it's like, oh, I wish I

0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.160
<v Speaker 1>did not just punch that brick wall because that out

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.760
<v Speaker 1>my fingers are broken. You're talking about your brother. I

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:06.719
<v Speaker 1>do remember now. I was kicked out of a co

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.959
<v Speaker 1>ed flight a league um in Chicago because my one

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>cousin was getting real chirpy at wide receiver. He was

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>mad that I wasn't hitting him, and I remember saying, like, hey,

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>shut the funk up, t O, You're not open and uh,

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.319
<v Speaker 1>he said something else. I snapped the ball and I

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:21.679
<v Speaker 1>went to like try to hit him in the back.

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 1>So I like threw a bullet and I missed him

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 1>and hit a girl on the shoulder. And so then

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the ruffles like that was on purpose, and I'm like

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 1>mad and her also she could have picked it off,

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 1>like why you met me because she's shitty at defense.

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 1>And then you know, like they told me to leave

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.760
<v Speaker 1>and then away from the park like Judd Nelson at

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 1>the end of Breakfast Club, but instead of the fist

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.720
<v Speaker 1>pump and in the middle finger all the us Wells park.

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that was a fun That's impressive. Now we

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.719
<v Speaker 1>have all of these incredible stories of our own meltdowns.

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.679
<v Speaker 1>We will be right back with more famous people's meltdowns,

0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 1>and we are back. Is wait, there's a question I

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.800
<v Speaker 1>want to ask you about meltdowns. Know this is because

0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:07.240
<v Speaker 1>it pertains to what we're going to get into. And

0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>it's like you end up having kind of like funny

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.679
<v Speaker 1>moments and all of your meltdowns because you're a comedian,

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>you are a funny person. Do you think that makes

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.080
<v Speaker 1>you like, do you think people that are funny and

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:23.320
<v Speaker 1>or smart and or like kind of wise ass end

0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 1>up being more predisposed to having meltdowns because they know

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.720
<v Speaker 1>they'll get away with it, or they'll like do something

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 1>funny that people will remember. Yes, I do in a way,

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 1>but I also think something about funny or smart or

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:39.679
<v Speaker 1>whatever people have in meltdowns. Someone told me that because

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 1>there's a difference. Someone tried to say I was an

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.320
<v Speaker 1>angry person once. I am not an angry person. I

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.079
<v Speaker 1>think my default setting is I'm a pretty happy guy.

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I have a bad temper, which is completely different like

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.319
<v Speaker 1>angry people walking around being like all the governments out

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 1>to get me and this, this and this bad temper.

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>People were like, what's up? And then someone steps on

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.319
<v Speaker 1>our shoe and it's like, hey, Dick had kind of courtesies.

0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I think what people that have melt downs and lash

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:05.200
<v Speaker 1>out is because we're so disappointed and other people that

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.960
<v Speaker 1>they're not meeting up to our standards. That's what I read.

0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Once door tempers, we get disappointed in people like that's

0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.680
<v Speaker 1>why like people with road rage, It's like, I'm disappointed

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.559
<v Speaker 1>and how shitty my fellow are. We're supposed to be

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 1>under the same set of rules. You just cut me off.

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 1>You fucking idiot, and I can't tell you, I can't

0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 1>pull you aside and be like, listen, little guys, this

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 1>is why you don't do that. So I have to

0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 1>scream at you. And I think that's why smart or

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 1>funny people do. And I think I don't think anything's

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 1>funnier to me than overreacting. When people overreact, it's hysterical.

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.199
<v Speaker 1>Happy Gilmore is funnier than Billy Madison and Happy gil

0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.679
<v Speaker 1>losing his fucking mind, and Billy Madison he's just dumb

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>and sorry about what was a better movie, Billy Madison

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 1>or Happy Gilmore. It's happy going more. You for me,

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.480
<v Speaker 1>used to be Billy Madison nowadays happy going Yeah. And

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:51.560
<v Speaker 1>the thing is our listeners they would want that take,

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:53.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're happy to that. That's kind of like

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 1>a little appetize, sir. You're like, like, oh, like a

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>little one bite. Okay, thank you. I didn't know we

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.520
<v Speaker 1>were going to be ranking Adam Sandler least today too. Okay,

0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Joe greatest Meltdowns. You are like the Benstein of this,

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 1>So lead us off with your number three pick. Okay,

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 1>My number three is Dennis Rodman kicking a cameraman in

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:18.560
<v Speaker 1>the nuts. It was kick, as a lot of people know.

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Now I know, it feels like almost a cop out

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>to go with Roban, because he's such an obvious guy

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>for heaven, like meltdowns, headbutted a referee, and all the

0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 1>fights he's been in. This one in particular, I like

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 1>because as a psycho, when you make an embarrassing move,

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 1>because in that the play he kind of fell out

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.200
<v Speaker 1>of bounds Rodman and I think he was a little

0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:38.520
<v Speaker 1>embarrassed and he fell into the cameraman. Now, so he

0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 1>took his rage out on someone else, which I can

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.400
<v Speaker 1>identify with big time. You gotta ask my wife, and

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.719
<v Speaker 1>so that's what he does. He tumbles over, he messed up,

0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.080
<v Speaker 1>so instead of just being like, my bad, he sees

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 1>the cameraman who's kind of in his way, and then

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.440
<v Speaker 1>just sides, Oh, this ship's on you, buddy, and then

0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 1>gives him like a kick, which I always thought was

0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 1>unfair for people to say it was in his nuts,

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.080
<v Speaker 1>because if you notice, the kick was kind of underneath

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 1>his thigh, so that cameraman might have a healthy pair,

0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.440
<v Speaker 1>because I think that looked like a thigh kick. But

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 1>the cameraman swears he got a testicle. See this is

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 1>how you know Joe is a psycho because he starts

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.600
<v Speaker 1>like being like, that's not his balls. He didn't get

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 1>his ball, and it's like, well, you know, you can't

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>kick people no matter what. It's a sensitive area. And

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 1>and but I do think your assessment of it is correct.

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 1>We hear a lot hurt people, hurt people, and Dennis

0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Rodman in that moment was hurt because he looked like

0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 1>a dumb maass and then he said, I gotta hurt

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 1>this guy. It's really like in a lot of these

0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 1>it's people going after raths or fans that are saying

0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.719
<v Speaker 1>stuff to him. In this situation, it really is a

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:50.719
<v Speaker 1>person truly. They're doing his job, which is neutral or

0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 1>nicer to the bulls, and he still attacked him. Well.

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I also think though, but the media and it's been

0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 1>changed over the years, sometimes the cameraman are too close.

0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you know, the stanchions too closer, like so they

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 1>feel like they move it back every few inches. But

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>like I think it was yeah, wrong place at the

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>wrong time, a little bit of a mixture, did he

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 1>suit did the cameraman end up? So he did? Did

0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I know in the lawsuit, he like

0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.840
<v Speaker 1>mentioned testicle like he said that he got nuts, and

0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:21.520
<v Speaker 1>that's why I remember at the time breaking down the

0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.120
<v Speaker 1>film with my friends. We were bruder film over like.

0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there's nuts there. I think I mean,

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe he's got a long sack. He's an older guy.

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>When you get older, a long sack a long stack.

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 1>So again, if he has an extra long sack, then

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 1>that's maybe that's his fault. Don't have a long sack.

0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Don't get in the way of one of the greatest

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.840
<v Speaker 1>rebounders of all time who kicks when he rebounds exactly.

0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I did act out everyone listening to the podcast, but

0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 1>it was a really good act out. Okay, Um, so

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 1>this episode is starting with a bulls pick, got it? O? Um,

0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I know where I am. I have my bearing. I

0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 1>just want everyone to know I have chosen a no

0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:06.960
<v Speaker 1>basketball and no balls, So no basketball and the breath

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 1>of fresh that we need. Um, I will go next.

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 1>My number three is a person. Okay, it's Tony Stewart

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and he has so many bad times that I was

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.440
<v Speaker 1>actually watching compilation videos of him freaking out to try

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 1>and pick my favorite freakout. Sadly, tragically, Tony Stewart did

0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.720
<v Speaker 1>kill a man, and that is not on this my

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 1>list because I don't think of that as a miltonne

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I think of that as like manslaughter. And so if

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.640
<v Speaker 1>we ever do manslaughter on the episode, I will revisit this.

0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.600
<v Speaker 1>But I wanted to keep it light and bright, so

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:50.640
<v Speaker 1>I went with one of his other classics. Um. He

0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:55.320
<v Speaker 1>gets into a wreck with Matt Kinzi and they trade paint,

0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, number four two cargo and a number fourteen car.

0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I love when they talk in cars. It's so fun,

0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 1>and so they Tony Stewart is in a car accident.

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 1>He is walking to an ambulance, takes off his helmet

0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 1>and chucks it at Matt kenseth car as he's leaving,

0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 1>like pitt Row, and then he just walks into the

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 1>ambulance like he is. He could be injured, he could

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 1>he just got into a car accident. And his first

0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:25.160
<v Speaker 1>instinct is how do I funk up Matt Kinset's day?

0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:29.560
<v Speaker 1>And Wow, he's since spoken about trying to get the

0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.960
<v Speaker 1>helmet back. He was not fine for that. He's like

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:36.080
<v Speaker 1>one of those people and and I and I it's

0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 1>sad because you see how it did eventually end up

0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 1>in tragedy where he just kept getting like a longer

0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and longer rope, and NASCAR was like, I don't know,

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.160
<v Speaker 1>because even after he throws the helmet, he then like

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Arsenio Hall's the crowd and they love it. Like the

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 1>NASCAR now is different than then, but you can tell

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 1>they seem almost handcuffed by his popularity. And part of

0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.200
<v Speaker 1>his popularity is that he's a full blown fucking psychopaths,

0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and so there were a lot of times when he

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.399
<v Speaker 1>should have been I mean, there's a there was another

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:09.320
<v Speaker 1>video he runs up and he takes off a guy

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.199
<v Speaker 1>who's like an official. He takes off his headset throws

0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 1>it at him, and then another official comes up, like

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.920
<v Speaker 1>what are you doing? And then he charges that guy

0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.600
<v Speaker 1>like he's truly a bull in a china shop, but

0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 1>the china shop is other people, and he does not

0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.199
<v Speaker 1>care if they die. I remember that video and it

0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:27.720
<v Speaker 1>made me think to myself, it's kind of shocking that

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.959
<v Speaker 1>it is in a regular occurrence in NASCAR, not like

0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.120
<v Speaker 1>the extent of what Tony Stewart did, but think about it.

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Their whole profession is almost car accident. Yeah, bumped like

0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.199
<v Speaker 1>a little rear end you have this feeling in your

0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.439
<v Speaker 1>chest like holy sh it, like I'm scared, and I'm

0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.600
<v Speaker 1>also piste off and mad my car insurance gonna go off.

0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Now I've done late to whatever I'm gonna be in.

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Take that in times of buy a million. And that's

0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Nascar all the time. That's why always saw hockey player

0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:55.560
<v Speaker 1>has always had a bad headache. Have you ever almost

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.680
<v Speaker 1>slipped on ice? That's their whole job is almost that feeling,

0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:00.920
<v Speaker 1>almost slipping on ice. So they want to punch people

0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.119
<v Speaker 1>in the phase. So I'm surprised it doesn't happen more

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.879
<v Speaker 1>in NASCAR. Yeah, in racing, it's like, oh, this is

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.200
<v Speaker 1>truly life for death. The margins are like so so

0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:12.040
<v Speaker 1>so slim. At one point, he has a rant just

0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 1>ripping the entire Goodyear, entire company. It's stopped to bottom,

0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Matt the entire company. I really, I have to recommend.

0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:24.680
<v Speaker 1>It's from CJ's Employer Leach Report. They have the ranking

0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 1>of Tony Stewart's top ten tantrums, and I really oh

0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:32.800
<v Speaker 1>and and him killing a person is not even on it,

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:37.639
<v Speaker 1>like that one. How prolific he is. So I suggest

0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:41.640
<v Speaker 1>you taking a look at that list. I know at

0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:45.160
<v Speaker 1>one point the family of the driver he killed. I'm

0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 1>not sure how that ended up, but Tony will say

0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.119
<v Speaker 1>this till the day he dies, that it was fully

0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:55.080
<v Speaker 1>an accident, but you do kind of look at his

0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:59.959
<v Speaker 1>record and go an accident with a rage induced psycho

0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.560
<v Speaker 1>at the wheel. So that's my He's from Indiana, so

0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.560
<v Speaker 1>it feels like I'm going extra hard at him. I am,

0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:08.840
<v Speaker 1>And so that's my p s A about how scary

0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 1>racing is but also fun. All right, okay, so my

0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.840
<v Speaker 1>number three pick, it's gotta be a tie only. I

0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.840
<v Speaker 1>think these combined make a good pick, but also too

0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:20.800
<v Speaker 1>because I was going to start off with Rodman, which

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.159
<v Speaker 1>I should have known you're going to start off with

0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 1>a Bowls one, but this one is half bowl so

0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:28.120
<v Speaker 1>the one half of it is we don't we still

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know the full details of the story. But Jordan's

0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:33.119
<v Speaker 1>punching Steve Kerr in the head in practice, like what

0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.840
<v Speaker 1>did we Maybe I missed the part of why it

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.920
<v Speaker 1>went down in the last dance other than like Steve

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Kerr wasn't playing up to again, Jordan's like he like,

0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if there was a reason. I think

0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:50.680
<v Speaker 1>that's why he was Jordan was disappointed. You can't handle

0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:52.520
<v Speaker 1>my right cross and practice? How could I trust you

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:54.920
<v Speaker 1>under the bright lights of Salt Lake City? Yeah, and

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and what happened He punched him and then later on

0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 1>he buried that shot. He buried the shot. So the

0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 1>second part of that was, um, it's like it's it's Kobe,

0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:08.280
<v Speaker 1>who again very much has Jordan qualities. But he walked out.

0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:10.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is like a terrible roster and I

0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:13.639
<v Speaker 1>just remember this today. But he after scrimmaging and just

0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:18.399
<v Speaker 1>destroying all of his teammates two fifteen season, he walked

0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.840
<v Speaker 1>out on everyone in practice and said everyone's soft like

0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Sharman and this is why we're not winning, and just

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.160
<v Speaker 1>walked off the court and ended practice for that day

0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and on his roster. I mean, man, his last couple

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:33.199
<v Speaker 1>of years were brutal for him, having to play with

0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.440
<v Speaker 1>like Tarik Black, Nicki Young who when he didn't Carre

0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Jeremy Lynn after he got like a crazy contract. And

0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:41.600
<v Speaker 1>yet these are Kobe's Like I think he had a

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:44.000
<v Speaker 1>couple more years and he he just walked down on practice,

0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:49.359
<v Speaker 1>had to meltdown. I I just love how justified you

0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:51.760
<v Speaker 1>both feel in your picks, Like You're like, these are

0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 1>my picks, and it is a meltdown. But this is

0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.199
<v Speaker 1>why I think they're okay that they did it. And

0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, my man is a psychopath who deserves to

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:01.520
<v Speaker 1>be in jail. Well, I like to set these guys

0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:04.320
<v Speaker 1>at a normal and again after the last thing, I

0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 1>all you can do is but they were at one

0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:08.120
<v Speaker 1>point at a normal level and then it just all

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:09.919
<v Speaker 1>crumbled for them and they kind of gave up and

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:12.360
<v Speaker 1>had a little tantrum. I think we're looking at the meltdown,

0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:16.240
<v Speaker 1>like I could see why that happened. East person needs

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to be better. It's real quick. Did you see Augasol

0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:22.440
<v Speaker 1>had a daughter? Yeah, the middle Land? That's real sweet.

0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:23.879
<v Speaker 1>You made me think of it with Kobe, and I

0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:26.120
<v Speaker 1>know how big of Kobe Fancy two are so pau

0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Gasol with the Bryant family is like nothing stirs some

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:36.120
<v Speaker 1>motions in me quite like it's just you know, it's

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:38.719
<v Speaker 1>such a tragedy and then to see like, oh wow,

0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.800
<v Speaker 1>basketball is a community and this it is a brotherhood

0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:46.120
<v Speaker 1>and it is a family, and it's just really it's

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:48.800
<v Speaker 1>just so beautiful and part of it is like Pow

0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:51.440
<v Speaker 1>is so funny looking like you know, he looks like

0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:53.600
<v Speaker 1>a Disney care he looks like the candlestick a little

0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:56.240
<v Speaker 1>bit in Beauty and the Beast, and so he's got

0:21:56.560 --> 0:22:00.679
<v Speaker 1>any he's Spanish. I almost was like, well, but it's

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:03.080
<v Speaker 1>it's not that. But like the foreign and the and

0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the tall, it's all great. I love it, um, Joe,

0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:09.640
<v Speaker 1>give us your number two pick. A number two pick

0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:14.560
<v Speaker 1>is a minor league manager of the Mississippi Braves. Megan

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:18.400
<v Speaker 1>likes this one. I can see who famously was ejected

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.119
<v Speaker 1>from a game. This was in two thousand six or

0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:23.160
<v Speaker 1>two thousand seven, And I love a good manager one.

0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:25.920
<v Speaker 1>There's so many good ones. Obviously Blue Panella has a

0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:29.320
<v Speaker 1>bunch in Bobby Cox or some really famous ones who

0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:31.600
<v Speaker 1>went off back in the day to This one is

0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:34.720
<v Speaker 1>particularly great because not only does he throw every base possible,

0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:38.920
<v Speaker 1>he covers home play up with all the like the

0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:41.399
<v Speaker 1>sand around the in the batter's box, covers like barries

0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:43.920
<v Speaker 1>homeplay like a little child. Then he goes behind the

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:47.800
<v Speaker 1>pictures mound and starts doing an army crawl towards the

0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:51.920
<v Speaker 1>pictures mound. It's the rosin bag, bites it like it's

0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 1>a grenade and throws the rosin bag at the umpire

0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:57.680
<v Speaker 1>like a grenade, and it lands at the umpire speed.

0:22:57.720 --> 0:23:00.480
<v Speaker 1>The umpire doesn't move a muscle. He's I'm just gonna

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:02.439
<v Speaker 1>let this guy keep hamming it up for Sports Center.

0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:05.320
<v Speaker 1>And then on his way out, he leaves through center field,

0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:07.399
<v Speaker 1>so he walks through the outfield and he kind of

0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:09.320
<v Speaker 1>does like a whole Cogan, like revving up the crowd

0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:11.959
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, pumping it up. And at that moment,

0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I remember thinking myself, this man is a star. He's

0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a legend. His name is Phil Wellman, and he has

0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:24.080
<v Speaker 1>his own Wikipedia page and it is dedicated entirely to

0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:27.520
<v Speaker 1>this meltdown. This is the this is the timeline. Uh,

0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:29.880
<v Speaker 1>this was my number one pick. That's how I. If

0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I had like Phil Wellman tattooed to my arm, we'll

0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:35.040
<v Speaker 1>be worried. He covers home play with dirt. He throws

0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:37.679
<v Speaker 1>third base into the outfield, he armored, crawls to the

0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:40.439
<v Speaker 1>pitching mound, throws the chalk back like a grenade, and

0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:43.200
<v Speaker 1>then on his way out, he picks up second base

0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:46.680
<v Speaker 1>and takes it with him. He left with second base,

0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:50.120
<v Speaker 1>and the strangest thing is that all of the us

0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:53.240
<v Speaker 1>are just standing there doing nothing. Like I feel like

0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:56.080
<v Speaker 1>in baseball we see umps that are like, oh, you're

0:23:56.080 --> 0:23:57.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna get in my face, I'm gonna get in base

0:23:57.760 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 1>even more, like they get like hyped for it. And

0:23:59.880 --> 0:24:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this minor league crew was different,

0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:06.720
<v Speaker 1>but they're just standing watching like an off Broadway show,

0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and they seemed perfectly fine with everything that's happening. I

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:15.280
<v Speaker 1>guess I'm happy they didn't stop him because it is

0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:19.040
<v Speaker 1>burned in my memory and and it's I know it's

0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:22.479
<v Speaker 1>a man freaking out, but it's like so delightful and

0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:26.760
<v Speaker 1>funny that I think it's like a lighthearted meltdown. Yeah,

0:24:26.800 --> 0:24:30.480
<v Speaker 1>definitely lighthearted and definitely yeah. I think he started to

0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:32.399
<v Speaker 1>like really ham it up a little bit there, but

0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:34.000
<v Speaker 1>that's what made fun to me. It was great that

0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:37.639
<v Speaker 1>it was a minor league manager because the minor leagues

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:39.320
<v Speaker 1>always have this, Like anyone who's ever sing the movie

0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Bull Durham knows, the minor leagues always have like sideshow stuff.

0:24:43.400 --> 0:24:45.920
<v Speaker 1>They've got like silly nights. They'll have like a Star

0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Wars night where they encourage people to bring their own lightsabers,

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and they have like, you know, they have these mascots

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 1>that are really just like drunks that they just give

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:54.800
<v Speaker 1>five bucks to to go dance on a dugout, And

0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:57.359
<v Speaker 1>it's just there's a lot of theatrics to minor league baseball.

0:24:57.400 --> 0:24:59.280
<v Speaker 1>So that's why I was like, all right, it's kind

0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:01.679
<v Speaker 1>of cool that they said keep going with it, but

0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:04.560
<v Speaker 1>you knew he was mentally gone at the same time.

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:06.919
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, with also a minor league baseball and

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:09.960
<v Speaker 1>just everything we've been told her, Like we've seen documentaries

0:25:10.000 --> 0:25:12.920
<v Speaker 1>like how worth it is it for anyone if there

0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:16.480
<v Speaker 1>isn't potential like moving up, like you're just gonna snap

0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:19.680
<v Speaker 1>at certain points. So again, like I totally get why

0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:22.680
<v Speaker 1>he did this. Oh yeah, I bet to his players.

0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:27.480
<v Speaker 1>He's like a hero too. Like so I wonder if

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:30.760
<v Speaker 1>he was a theater major in college because it's really

0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 1>like when he's army crawling, you're like, what is he?

0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:35.919
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god? And then you like he had a vision.

0:25:36.040 --> 0:25:38.840
<v Speaker 1>It had it had a full arc of a story.

0:25:39.440 --> 0:25:42.720
<v Speaker 1>He blew the man up. It's just so funny and good.

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:46.159
<v Speaker 1>That was my number one pick, So I'm gonna do

0:25:46.440 --> 0:25:51.000
<v Speaker 1>a little reworking. Um. My number two pick is the

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:57.160
<v Speaker 1>John McEnroe Wimbledon. John McEnroe much like Tony Stewart without

0:25:57.200 --> 0:26:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the manslaughter, has a law long history of freaking out,

0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:07.560
<v Speaker 1>and in tennis that's the antithesis of what they want

0:26:07.680 --> 0:26:10.120
<v Speaker 1>and what they think is to corm especially at Wimbledon,

0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:14.399
<v Speaker 1>like you have to wear all white. There's strawberries, there's cream.

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:17.639
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's really quiet and rich. And he it was his

0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:22.320
<v Speaker 1>first first round match. He went on to win the tournament,

0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:27.200
<v Speaker 1>so he's obviously heavily favored. He gets uh served called

0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:31.000
<v Speaker 1>out and then he utters his famous line you cannot

0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:34.320
<v Speaker 1>be serious, and is yelling that at the lines judge,

0:26:34.400 --> 0:26:37.879
<v Speaker 1>and then is screaming to everyone in the stadium and

0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:40.720
<v Speaker 1>just keep saying it over and over again. I think

0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:44.320
<v Speaker 1>he was penalized like one point, went on to win

0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:48.280
<v Speaker 1>the match, and this incident became so infamous that he

0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:53.280
<v Speaker 1>named his biography you Cannot be Serious, the John mcinreh story.

0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:55.119
<v Speaker 1>It's great. I was waiting for him to get up.

0:26:55.160 --> 0:26:57.440
<v Speaker 1>He's the post your boy from meltdowns. When everyone thinks

0:26:57.440 --> 0:27:00.040
<v Speaker 1>of a mouthdown, it goes right back to McEnroe. I

0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:02.240
<v Speaker 1>think Megan and I are particularly fond of him. The

0:27:02.280 --> 0:27:04.040
<v Speaker 1>fact that he looks like you could be one of

0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:07.159
<v Speaker 1>our uncles. I's got the whole irish thing that we

0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:10.720
<v Speaker 1>got going on, and yeah, the you cannot be serious

0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:13.280
<v Speaker 1>is just such a perfect thing to say do an

0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:17.160
<v Speaker 1>official like are you know? It's like are you You're

0:27:17.160 --> 0:27:20.280
<v Speaker 1>a joke? And he would for the most is he

0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:24.280
<v Speaker 1>has then made his whole post tennis career off of that.

0:27:24.560 --> 0:27:27.760
<v Speaker 1>He's embraced it. So if you're a psycho listening to

0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:31.439
<v Speaker 1>this podcast right now, get help, but also embrace it.

0:27:32.720 --> 0:27:34.840
<v Speaker 1>The first step to doll the problem isn't meanting you

0:27:34.880 --> 0:27:36.480
<v Speaker 1>have one, and then you could go from there. Yeah,

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I think like Happy Gilmore was based off of him.

0:27:38.760 --> 0:27:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like you know, and like you talk about

0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:43.399
<v Speaker 1>someone who embraced it afterwards or made their career like

0:27:43.440 --> 0:27:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Barkley outspoken, like these are guys who they were like

0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna continue to be myself in the game, and

0:27:50.840 --> 0:27:53.600
<v Speaker 1>then when they retired and now they have very front

0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:56.440
<v Speaker 1>facing careers after that. I was on a zoom call

0:27:56.520 --> 0:28:00.879
<v Speaker 1>with John McEnroe recently. You don't need he my camera

0:28:00.960 --> 0:28:03.199
<v Speaker 1>was off, but my name was there, Okay, so like

0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I was. There were only three of us and my

0:28:05.320 --> 0:28:08.280
<v Speaker 1>camera was off, but he felt me for sure, and

0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:12.760
<v Speaker 1>he was he my presence, honey, And he was saying

0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:17.040
<v Speaker 1>that he almost feels bad for the tennis stars of

0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:21.639
<v Speaker 1>today because he was kind of not by the sport,

0:28:21.720 --> 0:28:24.720
<v Speaker 1>but by outside forces and cool people encourage, like, be

0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:27.679
<v Speaker 1>yourself if this is how you express yourself, break a

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:30.919
<v Speaker 1>fucking racket, who cares do do funny things like be

0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:34.440
<v Speaker 1>a rock star within your sport. And he feels like, now,

0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Federer wouldn't kill a spider, you know, like they,

0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Djocovic smashed a woman's esophagus, so he's got

0:28:42.160 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 1>a little psycho in there. But but tennis, really it's

0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:51.480
<v Speaker 1>turned and if you see someone do what McEnroe did

0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 1>back then, now it's like, up, they're terrible. And he's like,

0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel like they've been robbed of getting to be

0:28:58.440 --> 0:29:01.800
<v Speaker 1>fully insane. It's definitely a sport that you encourage more

0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:04.680
<v Speaker 1>personality because I feel like the most you hear about

0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of tennis stars is who they're dating. And

0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:11.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, it went from McEnroe to Agassi, who was

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:14.440
<v Speaker 1>like fun tennis player, a little overrated, but he was like,

0:29:14.480 --> 0:29:16.600
<v Speaker 1>oh I wear silly hats and this is the early

0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:20.040
<v Speaker 1>nine I mean code commercials. But yeah, they definitely need

0:29:20.040 --> 0:29:23.120
<v Speaker 1>another guy that's like a happy Gilmore. You need someone

0:29:23.120 --> 0:29:25.640
<v Speaker 1>where it's like this guy's not from your country club,

0:29:25.920 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 1>but not Jocovic, Like he took it, Yeah, yeah, he

0:29:31.120 --> 0:29:33.440
<v Speaker 1>took it too far. But there was a guy who

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:36.440
<v Speaker 1>because they come out with those like giant bags and

0:29:36.520 --> 0:29:39.000
<v Speaker 1>so you have like three or four rackets in there

0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:41.000
<v Speaker 1>in case you break a string. And there was a

0:29:41.000 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 1>guy a few years ago who broke, like on purpose,

0:29:44.200 --> 0:29:47.200
<v Speaker 1>smashed every single one of his rackets on the ground

0:29:47.720 --> 0:29:51.120
<v Speaker 1>and having I I broke a racket, smashed it on

0:29:51.160 --> 0:29:53.640
<v Speaker 1>the ground in front of my parents when I was

0:29:53.680 --> 0:29:56.480
<v Speaker 1>a teen, and it felt so fucking good. But then

0:29:56.520 --> 0:29:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I like looked up and I see my parents and

0:29:58.320 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 1>there I can just like see how much the racket

0:30:00.920 --> 0:30:02.760
<v Speaker 1>costs in their eyes, you know, like they're like, what

0:30:02.800 --> 0:30:06.960
<v Speaker 1>do you You're losing your freshman Matt. It's just in't Wimbledon,

0:30:07.120 --> 0:30:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Like you just cost me two hundred and seventy dollars

0:30:09.080 --> 0:30:12.080
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, But but I got any one but

0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:14.760
<v Speaker 1>one racket was on today and I'm not realizing. Seinfeld

0:30:14.760 --> 0:30:17.600
<v Speaker 1>as a TV show had two full episodes that were

0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:21.680
<v Speaker 1>tennis theme. Kramer as the US Open ball boy, Yes,

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:24.520
<v Speaker 1>there's yeah kramer Is the ball Boy was hysterical, and

0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:27.360
<v Speaker 1>then another one where Elaine let a boss borrow a

0:30:27.480 --> 0:30:29.360
<v Speaker 1>racket and they'd like try to get it back. And

0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking, man Seinfeld, first stand up comedian, he must

0:30:32.720 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 1>have been so unrelatable to all those other Manhattan comedians.

0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:37.280
<v Speaker 1>He's going to tennis, he's doing all this other He

0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:39.280
<v Speaker 1>was in LA at that point, so he was probably

0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:43.240
<v Speaker 1>these are probably l A stories seeping in. Yeah, definitely

0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:45.720
<v Speaker 1>like rich guy stuff. It doesn't doesn't give that Manhattan

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:49.000
<v Speaker 1>upper west side guy type of vibe to me. He

0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 1>looks he has like the shoes of someone who likes tennis.

0:30:52.600 --> 0:30:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Um and I mean that offensively. Okay, c J, give

0:30:55.960 --> 0:30:58.680
<v Speaker 1>us your number two, my number two. I'm surprised this

0:30:58.760 --> 0:31:02.160
<v Speaker 1>when this didn't make your listening honorable mention Megan Bobby

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Knight against Perdue in something like that. But and I

0:31:07.880 --> 0:31:10.560
<v Speaker 1>still don't know if this was the one time he

0:31:10.600 --> 0:31:12.120
<v Speaker 1>did or if he had done this a few times.

0:31:12.200 --> 0:31:14.400
<v Speaker 1>But he had several meltdowns. But this one is the

0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:18.200
<v Speaker 1>chair threw a chair onto the court, which then was

0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:22.880
<v Speaker 1>just like parodied or like other people when they wanted

0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:24.840
<v Speaker 1>to have like fake meltdowns did as like an homage.

0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:28.080
<v Speaker 1>But Bobby Knight is I think king of I guess

0:31:28.080 --> 0:31:30.800
<v Speaker 1>meltdowns for coaching. He really is. No, That's why I

0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:34.400
<v Speaker 1>actually like fully forgot. I didn't know he wasn't and

0:31:34.480 --> 0:31:36.360
<v Speaker 1>it was against Perdue. Did you know that? I did

0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:39.840
<v Speaker 1>know that well. And Bobby Knights a classic example of

0:31:39.880 --> 0:31:46.440
<v Speaker 1>someone who behaved poorly for decades and then he ended

0:31:46.520 --> 0:31:49.360
<v Speaker 1>up being fired because I think he shoved a student

0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:52.440
<v Speaker 1>who was not a basketball player, which I think if

0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:54.160
<v Speaker 1>it had been ten years earlier, they would have be

0:31:54.200 --> 0:31:56.440
<v Speaker 1>like all right, but it really felt like it was

0:31:56.480 --> 0:31:59.120
<v Speaker 1>like the final straw. And then he went to Texas

0:31:59.200 --> 0:32:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Tech and he act like a psycho there too. Yeah,

0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:04.120
<v Speaker 1>for with the shoving a student, Yes, it's terrible. I'm

0:32:04.120 --> 0:32:06.480
<v Speaker 1>sure they were just like it's been too much of this,

0:32:06.600 --> 0:32:10.040
<v Speaker 1>like let's let's start fresh. This is the last straw.

0:32:10.200 --> 0:32:13.800
<v Speaker 1>And remember the kid was like he was walking and

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 1>was like hey, Night like addressed him in a way

0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:20.680
<v Speaker 1>that he found disrespectful, and it's like, yeah, I'm sure

0:32:20.800 --> 0:32:22.920
<v Speaker 1>this kid wanted to get a rise out of you.

0:32:23.120 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Like if you see if you're twenty and you see

0:32:25.560 --> 0:32:28.160
<v Speaker 1>a famous psycho, you're like, I'm gonna get this guy,

0:32:28.320 --> 0:32:30.400
<v Speaker 1>and then he did. What I don't know about the

0:32:30.480 --> 0:32:34.640
<v Speaker 1>chair toss was how much the chair was already folded

0:32:34.640 --> 0:32:38.560
<v Speaker 1>and it slid perfectly across the court. You know what

0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean? It was almost like what shuffle board like

0:32:40.640 --> 0:32:43.000
<v Speaker 1>if you would have like had a twenty points if

0:32:43.000 --> 0:32:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I get this far. There was no like awkwardness about it,

0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:47.880
<v Speaker 1>because a lot of times you throw a chair, it's

0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:51.040
<v Speaker 1>not like a graceful thing to throw. But that thing

0:32:51.280 --> 0:32:54.000
<v Speaker 1>was like perfectly split out, like you would have been

0:32:54.000 --> 0:32:56.440
<v Speaker 1>great at that Canadian game what's it called curling or whatever.

0:32:57.400 --> 0:33:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Now you you did some tablework your wedding. You smashed

0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:04.920
<v Speaker 1>a table. I love how these stories go to um.

0:33:05.120 --> 0:33:07.360
<v Speaker 1>You remember when I got into it with another comedian.

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll admit this everybody, your wedding. I'm gonna get to

0:33:12.280 --> 0:33:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the wedding real quickly. But I love how stories get

0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:17.040
<v Speaker 1>like I smashed. I didn't smash the table, but howevery

0:33:17.600 --> 0:33:20.240
<v Speaker 1>takes on a life of its own with meltdown stories.

0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I once pushed a comedian and there was one step

0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:27.000
<v Speaker 1>behind him, went down one step. Two days later everyone's

0:33:27.000 --> 0:33:28.800
<v Speaker 1>telling me, I heard you thrown down six flights of stairs.

0:33:28.920 --> 0:33:31.640
<v Speaker 1>What's going on? Um Drew Michael, everybody, I'll throw the

0:33:31.720 --> 0:33:36.240
<v Speaker 1>name out that some gossip for the listeners. Uh yeah.

0:33:36.280 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 1>But also word to the wise, don't talk ship when

0:33:39.040 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 1>you're standing in front of stairs. That's a classic crazy

0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:48.440
<v Speaker 1>man phrase. The table incident about and my wedding, the

0:33:48.560 --> 0:33:52.640
<v Speaker 1>DJ who was recommended from other people. I saw him

0:33:52.680 --> 0:33:54.760
<v Speaker 1>at other weddings and thought, this guy's good, will go

0:33:54.800 --> 0:33:57.680
<v Speaker 1>with him. The week of my wedding was like, m

0:33:57.720 --> 0:33:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I A. I couldn't get ahold of him. He obviously

0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:01.840
<v Speaker 1>showed up, but was like, hey, had some email exchanges

0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:03.000
<v Speaker 1>that you didn't follow through, and he's like, no, I

0:34:03.040 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 1>got We're good. I had to do not playlist c J.

0:34:06.640 --> 0:34:08.560
<v Speaker 1>You guys had a great band in retrospect. That's the

0:34:08.600 --> 0:34:10.640
<v Speaker 1>way to go, because you could be like, hey, don't

0:34:10.680 --> 0:34:14.040
<v Speaker 1>hit that fucking note. DJ plays a song, it's being played.

0:34:14.800 --> 0:34:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I do not playlist and a must playlist. I had

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:20.080
<v Speaker 1>already heard two songs and they do not playlist. So

0:34:20.120 --> 0:34:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm already like getting mad, even though I'm still having

0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:25.319
<v Speaker 1>a good time. Then I looked at the clock and

0:34:25.320 --> 0:34:26.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, we had twenty minutes left, and I need

0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:28.920
<v Speaker 1>to hear about nine songs on the must playlist. And

0:34:28.920 --> 0:34:31.440
<v Speaker 1>there was a little high top bar table, not a

0:34:31.520 --> 0:34:34.000
<v Speaker 1>table that people would sit at, but a table that

0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:36.239
<v Speaker 1>you just kind of rest your drink upon. And I

0:34:36.280 --> 0:34:39.000
<v Speaker 1>just kind of like give it a quick flip and

0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:41.440
<v Speaker 1>looked over and I think like one of my wife's

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:43.560
<v Speaker 1>uncles was like, hey, hey, you know, And so a

0:34:43.600 --> 0:34:47.239
<v Speaker 1>few people got upset, but not enough where most people

0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:49.720
<v Speaker 1>who saw it were like Joe, even on his wedding,

0:34:49.760 --> 0:34:52.960
<v Speaker 1>this guy likes on brand, right, Well, yeah, because you

0:34:53.000 --> 0:34:55.200
<v Speaker 1>want someone to feel comfortable enough on their wedding they

0:34:55.239 --> 0:34:58.240
<v Speaker 1>to be who they are, and if that means flipping

0:34:58.280 --> 0:35:01.200
<v Speaker 1>a cocktail table, then that's what it means. It was

0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:03.880
<v Speaker 1>a really fun wedding. Uh, let's take a break and

0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:16.319
<v Speaker 1>we'll be right back with our number one picks. And

0:35:16.560 --> 0:35:20.600
<v Speaker 1>we are back with our number one picks, and oh

0:35:20.680 --> 0:35:22.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm first. Wow. Okay, so I had to do some

0:35:22.840 --> 0:35:27.600
<v Speaker 1>movie around, so I don't have any honorable mention. So

0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:33.400
<v Speaker 1>my number one pick is Mike Tyson fill in the

0:35:33.480 --> 0:35:41.120
<v Speaker 1>blank biting Evander Holyfield's ear. June seven, they are in

0:35:41.200 --> 0:35:46.280
<v Speaker 1>their heavyweight rematch and during the third round, Tyson bites

0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:50.799
<v Speaker 1>his ear he had had a biting history too, Like

0:35:51.120 --> 0:35:55.160
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize that he was a biter um. He

0:35:55.360 --> 0:35:58.160
<v Speaker 1>ended up being disqualified, he got like a chunk of

0:35:58.200 --> 0:36:02.000
<v Speaker 1>it out. I mean, it's very strange and terrifying. He

0:36:02.120 --> 0:36:07.120
<v Speaker 1>ended up being disqualified suspended from boxing, but that didn't

0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:12.120
<v Speaker 1>stop his meteoric continued rise to fame, and that pisces

0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:16.040
<v Speaker 1>me off. Hem I like, I get it at listen.

0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I know that there's people that like Mike Tyson. We

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:24.520
<v Speaker 1>seem to really forget that he was convicted of reaping

0:36:24.520 --> 0:36:27.720
<v Speaker 1>a woman. And I don't think we need him anymore.

0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I I hangover fuck you every It's just like everything

0:36:33.000 --> 0:36:36.920
<v Speaker 1>that he touches to me is tarnished. And I hear

0:36:37.600 --> 0:36:40.320
<v Speaker 1>people in the sports world who I really really respect

0:36:40.560 --> 0:36:45.520
<v Speaker 1>speak positively about him, and it really pisces me off. So, yeah,

0:36:45.560 --> 0:36:48.800
<v Speaker 1>he sucks, and I just don't understand how he keeps

0:36:49.320 --> 0:36:51.360
<v Speaker 1>It's like he has a face tattoo. He was so

0:36:51.480 --> 0:36:54.320
<v Speaker 1>funny in this movie. It's like, Wow, have you forgotten

0:36:54.360 --> 0:36:57.040
<v Speaker 1>every single thing? Joe? I'm so happy to see you

0:36:57.480 --> 0:36:59.680
<v Speaker 1>shaking your head in agreement with me. I don't know

0:36:59.680 --> 0:37:01.120
<v Speaker 1>if you remember. I used to have a joke where

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I talked about how people were saying that, like remember

0:37:04.600 --> 0:37:06.920
<v Speaker 1>when Tiger Woods cheated on his wife a bunch of times,

0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:10.160
<v Speaker 1>there was like a poll on CNN, will America forgive him?

0:37:10.200 --> 0:37:12.480
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, forgive them? I mean we forgave Ray

0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Lewis you forgave Mike Mike Tyson, Like, literally, you're right,

0:37:15.920 --> 0:37:18.120
<v Speaker 1>you said he was convicted of rape. I almost wanted

0:37:18.120 --> 0:37:21.360
<v Speaker 1>to do these people forget about it because yeah, he

0:37:21.400 --> 0:37:24.640
<v Speaker 1>bid someone zero if he was a rapist, And it

0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:27.279
<v Speaker 1>is insane to me how everyone just forgets about that,

0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:31.000
<v Speaker 1>especially in today's climate. And I almost wonder if it's

0:37:31.000 --> 0:37:34.120
<v Speaker 1>just people ignoring it because he was so dominant. I

0:37:34.160 --> 0:37:37.080
<v Speaker 1>think I don't even think it's boxing related. I think

0:37:37.080 --> 0:37:42.359
<v Speaker 1>they think he is like a funny entertainer. I love

0:37:42.440 --> 0:37:45.920
<v Speaker 1>p t I. It is like the basis of everything.

0:37:46.200 --> 0:37:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I listened to it every single day on the podcast,

0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:51.600
<v Speaker 1>and they love him in a way that I'm like,

0:37:51.680 --> 0:37:56.280
<v Speaker 1>you guys are usually like pretty good, especially the stuff

0:37:56.320 --> 0:38:00.360
<v Speaker 1>that's been going on right now, and it angs me

0:38:00.400 --> 0:38:02.759
<v Speaker 1>and it makes me want to like contact them and

0:38:02.800 --> 0:38:06.359
<v Speaker 1>be like please stop. Mike Tyson's son, who I know

0:38:06.520 --> 0:38:10.879
<v Speaker 1>is innocent in all of this is an intern for them,

0:38:10.960 --> 0:38:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Like they say, Mike Tyson, They're like, he is the

0:38:12.880 --> 0:38:18.200
<v Speaker 1>most entertaining, charismatic, likable athlete of all time, and I'm like,

0:38:18.600 --> 0:38:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm I on an alternate land it. I think what's

0:38:22.040 --> 0:38:24.759
<v Speaker 1>happened is because we watched him for a decade be

0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:29.560
<v Speaker 1>this incredible fighter, and then that stuff had happened, and

0:38:29.600 --> 0:38:33.320
<v Speaker 1>then he came back as like a pop culture cameo

0:38:34.080 --> 0:38:36.439
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, look at him, He's funny. He's kind

0:38:36.440 --> 0:38:39.120
<v Speaker 1>of like he's like reformed. But I don't know there

0:38:39.200 --> 0:38:42.399
<v Speaker 1>was no ever like process really of like any sort

0:38:42.400 --> 0:38:46.000
<v Speaker 1>of like reformation or like you know, lessons learned. But

0:38:46.080 --> 0:38:47.919
<v Speaker 1>I think that's why it was like at one point

0:38:47.920 --> 0:38:49.680
<v Speaker 1>we were all scared of him, but now he's like

0:38:50.280 --> 0:38:52.560
<v Speaker 1>a tiger that you could put your hand in his

0:38:52.640 --> 0:38:55.279
<v Speaker 1>mouth and listen. I don't want to be called a

0:38:55.360 --> 0:38:59.360
<v Speaker 1>hypocrite because we obviously talked about Kobe earlier in the episode,

0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and Kobe had a very similar bad, bad, bad thing happened,

0:39:07.280 --> 0:39:13.319
<v Speaker 1>and I think through his death we've learned how remorseful

0:39:13.400 --> 0:39:20.120
<v Speaker 1>he was and how much he admitted fault in that situation.

0:39:20.680 --> 0:39:22.160
<v Speaker 1>And I don't even want to bring in like he

0:39:22.200 --> 0:39:24.879
<v Speaker 1>wasn't convicted, because it's like that actually doesn't matter at

0:39:24.880 --> 0:39:27.120
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day. It's it's how you react

0:39:27.239 --> 0:39:30.120
<v Speaker 1>from that. And I think Kobe took it and said,

0:39:30.600 --> 0:39:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to be an amazing father. And I admit

0:39:34.719 --> 0:39:38.040
<v Speaker 1>to this woman that I thought one thing was happening,

0:39:38.080 --> 0:39:40.200
<v Speaker 1>but another thing was happening and I and I did

0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:42.839
<v Speaker 1>rape her, and I and I'm like so sorry for that.

0:39:43.520 --> 0:39:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I know this is like getting heavy, but like because

0:39:46.880 --> 0:39:49.239
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's similar in that in that instance, but

0:39:49.320 --> 0:39:53.200
<v Speaker 1>they're so dissimilar in how they handled it afterwards. I

0:39:53.280 --> 0:39:57.480
<v Speaker 1>don't think being cast in a movie is is a redemption.

0:39:57.600 --> 0:40:00.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that means you show remorse. I think

0:40:01.200 --> 0:40:05.560
<v Speaker 1>working for women's basketball and for your daughters, and for

0:40:05.640 --> 0:40:08.759
<v Speaker 1>doing everything in your power to uplift the women in

0:40:08.800 --> 0:40:13.200
<v Speaker 1>your life, and when all the women around you say

0:40:13.320 --> 0:40:15.960
<v Speaker 1>and can vouch for you, I think that is actual

0:40:16.200 --> 0:40:19.000
<v Speaker 1>redemption and it does not erase it, but at least

0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:21.080
<v Speaker 1>it's a path forward. And I don't think Mike Tyson

0:40:21.120 --> 0:40:23.759
<v Speaker 1>has done anything to deserve the path forward that he's

0:40:23.760 --> 0:40:27.000
<v Speaker 1>been granted. Yeah, I agree, he didn't atone for anything.

0:40:27.040 --> 0:40:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel like he didn't do nearly enough jail time

0:40:29.560 --> 0:40:32.560
<v Speaker 1>for it. He comes back from it has the mouthdown

0:40:32.600 --> 0:40:34.319
<v Speaker 1>of the biting the ear thing. I mean this was

0:40:34.360 --> 0:40:38.640
<v Speaker 1>after he was after this big comeback in a big

0:40:38.719 --> 0:40:41.640
<v Speaker 1>store comeback. He was a voice on a Simpsons episode.

0:40:41.640 --> 0:40:45.080
<v Speaker 1>I believe afterwards too, and um, yeah, because I think

0:40:45.120 --> 0:40:49.520
<v Speaker 1>it was like he was in jail. I'm not exactly positive.

0:40:49.560 --> 0:40:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I hope I'm not wrong. And then the Holy Field

0:40:52.200 --> 0:40:53.879
<v Speaker 1>thing was the comeback because everyone was like, this fight

0:40:53.920 --> 0:40:56.480
<v Speaker 1>should have happened in their primes. They were both a

0:40:56.520 --> 0:40:58.399
<v Speaker 1>little bit older, so that was like the whole thing.

0:40:58.520 --> 0:41:00.560
<v Speaker 1>That's I think the whole story of everybody match. These

0:41:00.560 --> 0:41:03.239
<v Speaker 1>two should have fought five years ago, but he got

0:41:03.280 --> 0:41:05.799
<v Speaker 1>on the way or whatever. But yeah, I agree with you, Pcent.

0:41:05.840 --> 0:41:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I think Kobe, yeah, it was a horrible thing, but

0:41:07.719 --> 0:41:11.520
<v Speaker 1>it seems like every decision in his life afterwards was

0:41:11.560 --> 0:41:15.719
<v Speaker 1>to atone for that. And yeah, with a lot of

0:41:15.719 --> 0:41:17.879
<v Speaker 1>giving back where I've not really seen that. I think

0:41:17.920 --> 0:41:19.880
<v Speaker 1>you said it best. CJ has become like a character

0:41:20.600 --> 0:41:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and everyone just acts like he's this lovable cartoon, but

0:41:23.920 --> 0:41:25.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't really see him that way either. I'm glad

0:41:25.960 --> 0:41:28.400
<v Speaker 1>that I'm on an alternate planet. But at least you

0:41:28.400 --> 0:41:30.799
<v Speaker 1>guys are here with me. That makes me feel better

0:41:30.800 --> 0:41:32.920
<v Speaker 1>because I thought I was just truly living on Mars.

0:41:33.360 --> 0:41:36.680
<v Speaker 1>But I got some good ones. All right, Okay, c J,

0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:39.200
<v Speaker 1>you you give us your number one. That was gonna

0:41:39.200 --> 0:41:42.400
<v Speaker 1>be my number one pick. We should have talked to

0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:45.160
<v Speaker 1>each other before, but that's what happens. But I thought

0:41:45.160 --> 0:41:47.759
<v Speaker 1>c J was just gonna pick. I don't someone you know,

0:41:47.840 --> 0:41:50.880
<v Speaker 1>throwing a pizza at someone three times. Well, now my

0:41:50.920 --> 0:41:53.400
<v Speaker 1>alternate pick, which is no, is by no means I

0:41:53.440 --> 0:41:56.520
<v Speaker 1>think that my number one. But I want to mention

0:41:56.600 --> 0:41:59.120
<v Speaker 1>the Knicks in a way like at some point when

0:41:59.160 --> 0:42:01.360
<v Speaker 1>we talked about melt sounds like I think there's a

0:42:01.400 --> 0:42:03.680
<v Speaker 1>few things, but the couple that I remember is want

0:42:03.680 --> 0:42:05.800
<v Speaker 1>to get. I think the Knicks. I think John Starks

0:42:06.400 --> 0:42:09.760
<v Speaker 1>sort of melting down physically in his performance, and Spike

0:42:09.920 --> 0:42:12.839
<v Speaker 1>Lee like the whole choking that that was like one.

0:42:12.920 --> 0:42:14.440
<v Speaker 1>But and then there was one in two thousand twelve

0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:17.959
<v Speaker 1>that I always loved too. Whenever the game is over

0:42:18.000 --> 0:42:21.200
<v Speaker 1>and like someone messed up, I love hearing the stories

0:42:21.200 --> 0:42:22.959
<v Speaker 1>like in the locker room. So this one is after

0:42:23.040 --> 0:42:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I think the game too. Two thousand twelve first round

0:42:26.640 --> 0:42:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Knicks heat, and this is the season that Jeremy Lynn

0:42:30.239 --> 0:42:32.919
<v Speaker 1>played for the Knicks had li insanity but then got

0:42:33.000 --> 0:42:37.680
<v Speaker 1>hurt and Carmelo and Amari we're back, and Amari punched

0:42:38.080 --> 0:42:41.600
<v Speaker 1>a fire extinguisher and took himself out of the series.

0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:45.560
<v Speaker 1>And then a few years later, Lebron punched a chalkboard

0:42:46.080 --> 0:42:48.000
<v Speaker 1>after I think it was the two thousand eighteen finals.

0:42:48.600 --> 0:42:51.279
<v Speaker 1>It was after the j r. Which is kind of

0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:56.080
<v Speaker 1>like a brain meltdown, which, um so I just it's

0:42:56.120 --> 0:42:58.120
<v Speaker 1>and you talked about early just as like a general

0:42:58.160 --> 0:43:01.759
<v Speaker 1>example of just players punching things, like we just love

0:43:01.840 --> 0:43:03.640
<v Speaker 1>to punch things or punch a hole in the wall,

0:43:04.200 --> 0:43:06.520
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, I just like when it's a specific object,

0:43:06.520 --> 0:43:08.720
<v Speaker 1>like a fire extinguisher. So I just wanted to mention

0:43:08.760 --> 0:43:11.440
<v Speaker 1>that by no means the greatest, but it was a

0:43:11.440 --> 0:43:13.880
<v Speaker 1>fun one to mention. Well, I think the Knicks are

0:43:13.920 --> 0:43:17.920
<v Speaker 1>a great pick because they are sort of a organizational

0:43:18.000 --> 0:43:20.960
<v Speaker 1>melt down. They feel like they feel like they're in

0:43:21.120 --> 0:43:24.640
<v Speaker 1>free fall, but they've been that way for now decades,

0:43:25.040 --> 0:43:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Like at some point are they gonna hit the ground?

0:43:27.640 --> 0:43:32.520
<v Speaker 1>They just keeping like and they never splat, which I

0:43:32.520 --> 0:43:34.600
<v Speaker 1>guess is good for them that they don't splat, but

0:43:35.200 --> 0:43:40.400
<v Speaker 1>who being a fan of there seems very difficult. Exhausting, Yeah, exhausting.

0:43:40.480 --> 0:43:43.440
<v Speaker 1>John Starks did headbut a lot of headbuts in the

0:43:43.480 --> 0:43:47.120
<v Speaker 1>sports meltdown world, So honorable mention to all the headbuts

0:43:47.200 --> 0:43:49.600
<v Speaker 1>out there. All right, Joe, why don't you bring us

0:43:49.640 --> 0:43:52.359
<v Speaker 1>home with your number one pick? Alright? My number one

0:43:52.440 --> 0:43:56.520
<v Speaker 1>definitely feels like a little too Chicago for me. But

0:43:57.239 --> 0:43:59.719
<v Speaker 1>this guy was like a hero of mine for a

0:43:59.760 --> 0:44:02.480
<v Speaker 1>good few years there. Megan, you probably had a run

0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:04.160
<v Speaker 1>in with him when you were in turning from BC

0:44:04.280 --> 0:44:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Sports Chicago. It's one Carlos Brono, I had a run

0:44:08.120 --> 0:44:12.400
<v Speaker 1>in with Zambrano's cousin. You can't just leave us on

0:44:12.440 --> 0:44:14.840
<v Speaker 1>that one. What was he just like stared at my

0:44:14.880 --> 0:44:18.040
<v Speaker 1>butt intensely when I was in the locker room and

0:44:17.840 --> 0:44:19.719
<v Speaker 1>and but I remember being like who is that? And

0:44:19.719 --> 0:44:22.279
<v Speaker 1>they were like, Simbrono's cousin, Like, where the fund is

0:44:22.320 --> 0:44:24.640
<v Speaker 1>he even here? Cousin? Yeah, who cares? That's like the

0:44:24.680 --> 0:44:27.759
<v Speaker 1>worst part of the entourage. A cousin turtle turtle looked

0:44:27.760 --> 0:44:32.320
<v Speaker 1>at your ass. So Zimbrono had a game in which

0:44:32.400 --> 0:44:35.480
<v Speaker 1>he did everything you could do as a baseball player.

0:44:35.880 --> 0:44:38.279
<v Speaker 1>It was a play at the plate after giving up

0:44:38.280 --> 0:44:40.080
<v Speaker 1>a big lead, and the Cubs were released scuffling. At

0:44:40.160 --> 0:44:43.200
<v Speaker 1>this point it looked bang bang umpire called him safe.

0:44:43.680 --> 0:44:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Sombrono immediately pointed at the umpire like, I think you.

0:44:48.360 --> 0:44:50.600
<v Speaker 1>You said, are you you blind? Piece of fucking ship?

0:44:50.680 --> 0:44:52.360
<v Speaker 1>You pretty much? I don't know how you guys are

0:44:52.520 --> 0:44:55.160
<v Speaker 1>swearing on this podcast, but it's exactly what he said.

0:44:55.160 --> 0:45:00.000
<v Speaker 1>You could read his lips clear as hell. Um objects him. Zimbrono,

0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:01.560
<v Speaker 1>of than does the allium out of the game. No,

0:45:01.800 --> 0:45:05.319
<v Speaker 1>your game, that's like you get from me because I quit.

0:45:05.800 --> 0:45:10.000
<v Speaker 1>That's that equivalent. Then Zimbrono takes the baseball. Now, mind

0:45:10.040 --> 0:45:13.400
<v Speaker 1>you he has a round home plate. He chucks it

0:45:13.640 --> 0:45:20.239
<v Speaker 1>into the bleacher really like sixty ft throw, which is like, look,

0:45:20.239 --> 0:45:22.360
<v Speaker 1>pictures have strong arms, so it's not like unheard of

0:45:22.400 --> 0:45:24.800
<v Speaker 1>to be that strong. Trevor Bauer last year in a

0:45:24.880 --> 0:45:26.640
<v Speaker 1>game throw the ball from the mound over the center

0:45:26.640 --> 0:45:29.200
<v Speaker 1>field wall in Kansas City, which that's a good mountdown.

0:45:29.200 --> 0:45:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Two people shall look that up. He's he's had kind

0:45:32.960 --> 0:45:35.680
<v Speaker 1>of like a fun track after that. Well, what I

0:45:35.719 --> 0:45:37.880
<v Speaker 1>loved about the Bauer thing and I'll get back to Zerrano.

0:45:38.320 --> 0:45:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Terry Francona comes out and he's already like what the

0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:42.400
<v Speaker 1>fun was that? Like before he even gets to the mound,

0:45:43.080 --> 0:45:45.880
<v Speaker 1>and and Bauer puts his hand on Francona's shoulder, me

0:45:45.920 --> 0:45:49.360
<v Speaker 1>like I'm really sorry. And then they traded him like

0:45:49.360 --> 0:45:53.200
<v Speaker 1>two days later. But Zimbrono then goes into the dugout

0:45:53.239 --> 0:45:56.920
<v Speaker 1>does the classic See you're talking about punching a fire extinguisher.

0:45:57.280 --> 0:46:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Punching is always hilarious. He boxes the water the gatorade

0:46:02.680 --> 0:46:06.959
<v Speaker 1>I remember this now, and then threw some balls onto

0:46:06.960 --> 0:46:10.160
<v Speaker 1>the field, went into the dug out. He didn't fight

0:46:10.160 --> 0:46:12.520
<v Speaker 1>a teammate this time, but Simbrono was notorious for fighting.

0:46:12.640 --> 0:46:14.760
<v Speaker 1>You got to fight with Derek Lee and Michael Barrett.

0:46:14.800 --> 0:46:17.520
<v Speaker 1>He gave like nine stitches in the mouth to Brono

0:46:17.600 --> 0:46:19.960
<v Speaker 1>was like a six ft five inch two hundred like

0:46:20.000 --> 0:46:22.320
<v Speaker 1>sixty pound he was. He's the tight end in the NFL.

0:46:23.160 --> 0:46:27.800
<v Speaker 1>The picture in a Psycho And then in the post game,

0:46:28.280 --> 0:46:30.160
<v Speaker 1>they asked the Cubs manager at the time, who do

0:46:30.200 --> 0:46:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I believe was Louke Panella, who's pretty famous for Yeah,

0:46:34.680 --> 0:46:38.160
<v Speaker 1>they said, uh, what did you talk to big does Zambrano,

0:46:38.200 --> 0:46:40.279
<v Speaker 1>what a big z have to say? And he said, oh,

0:46:40.280 --> 0:46:47.080
<v Speaker 1>he says he's retiring favorite of melt do because that's

0:46:47.280 --> 0:46:49.279
<v Speaker 1>I've done the whole I've had that on stage where

0:46:49.280 --> 0:46:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I go, you know what, I should have taken the

0:46:51.840 --> 0:46:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Fireman's test. I hate all your people, and I told

0:46:55.840 --> 0:46:57.840
<v Speaker 1>times when I've had those mouthdowns, like none of you

0:46:57.840 --> 0:47:00.399
<v Speaker 1>are fucking special, and CO go to a ghost, your band,

0:47:00.480 --> 0:47:02.600
<v Speaker 1>your losers, and then like you walk off and you

0:47:02.680 --> 0:47:05.160
<v Speaker 1>tell the other producers, I'm never I'm never doing this.

0:47:06.080 --> 0:47:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I relate to the this was so bad. I can

0:47:08.600 --> 0:47:11.840
<v Speaker 1>never show my face in this world again. What what

0:47:12.000 --> 0:47:14.279
<v Speaker 1>is it about baseball where you're allowed to just have

0:47:14.520 --> 0:47:18.280
<v Speaker 1>like the game is slow and like because dugout, freak

0:47:18.320 --> 0:47:23.040
<v Speaker 1>outs and meltdowns are always on eleven, like just crazy

0:47:23.200 --> 0:47:26.280
<v Speaker 1>c J. I really think it's because it's every day.

0:47:26.320 --> 0:47:28.799
<v Speaker 1>They see each other every day for a hundred and

0:47:28.840 --> 0:47:32.680
<v Speaker 1>sixty games. Spring training now starts in mid February, and

0:47:32.719 --> 0:47:37.280
<v Speaker 1>a regular non global pandemic year starts in like early February.

0:47:37.280 --> 0:47:39.799
<v Speaker 1>Pitchers and catchers report mid February, and then if you're

0:47:39.840 --> 0:47:43.400
<v Speaker 1>a good team, you're going through October every day. So

0:47:43.480 --> 0:47:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I think like when things start to go bad and

0:47:46.920 --> 0:47:49.240
<v Speaker 1>it's a hard sport, it's not like basketball or football

0:47:49.280 --> 0:47:53.520
<v Speaker 1>where your athleticism could overcome some stuff. In baseball, if

0:47:53.560 --> 0:47:56.960
<v Speaker 1>you're something, it's over I also think in the dugout,

0:47:56.960 --> 0:48:00.359
<v Speaker 1>there's so many props, Like there's balls to throw, They're

0:48:00.440 --> 0:48:03.600
<v Speaker 1>like there's just in basketball you see someone you know,

0:48:03.640 --> 0:48:05.920
<v Speaker 1>get like a gatorade bottle and chuck it or a towel.

0:48:06.040 --> 0:48:08.960
<v Speaker 1>But like baseball, their shelves in there, you know, like

0:48:09.000 --> 0:48:10.719
<v Speaker 1>they can just they can funk it up like they're

0:48:10.719 --> 0:48:16.359
<v Speaker 1>in someone's home. Almost. Yeah, Zambrano lou Panella, like, I

0:48:16.400 --> 0:48:20.360
<v Speaker 1>honestly feel honored that I even got to be around

0:48:20.560 --> 0:48:23.720
<v Speaker 1>that era of Chicago baseball because obviously what was happening

0:48:23.719 --> 0:48:28.040
<v Speaker 1>on the South Side was pure craziness too. Between I mean,

0:48:28.080 --> 0:48:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Ozzie Gien and Jay Mariotti could have their own greatest

0:48:30.800 --> 0:48:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Meltdown list. It was really a fun time of psychos,

0:48:34.920 --> 0:48:38.279
<v Speaker 1>but innocent psychos. Yeah, I thought about like maybe and

0:48:38.320 --> 0:48:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Azzi Gian never turned it off. He was always that

0:48:43.080 --> 0:48:45.120
<v Speaker 1>for a true meltdown, you have to have moments where

0:48:45.120 --> 0:48:48.879
<v Speaker 1>you seem level headed and then you just go off

0:48:48.920 --> 0:48:51.680
<v Speaker 1>the deep end. So I almost felt like Azzi Gian

0:48:51.760 --> 0:48:54.480
<v Speaker 1>was someone I kind of avoided. Ronner tests. I'm surprising

0:48:54.520 --> 0:48:59.040
<v Speaker 1>of us threw him out there. I think, yeah, he's

0:48:59.480 --> 0:49:02.319
<v Speaker 1>they have malice. I don't think that's a meltdown. I

0:49:02.360 --> 0:49:05.640
<v Speaker 1>think he had something thrown at him and he reacted

0:49:05.680 --> 0:49:12.600
<v Speaker 1>to it. Everyone. Yeah, thank you. See knows where my

0:49:12.920 --> 0:49:16.480
<v Speaker 1>where my allegiance lies. Um Joe, you'll love this. I

0:49:17.120 --> 0:49:18.600
<v Speaker 1>today was the first day I left the house in

0:49:18.680 --> 0:49:22.120
<v Speaker 1>four days, and the you know how it gets out here,

0:49:22.120 --> 0:49:24.239
<v Speaker 1>but it's it's worse right now. Guys, if you are

0:49:24.360 --> 0:49:26.560
<v Speaker 1>able to I know there's a lot of things to

0:49:26.600 --> 0:49:28.680
<v Speaker 1>help right now, but if there's any way you can

0:49:28.680 --> 0:49:31.680
<v Speaker 1>help the Red Cross with the wildfires out here. I

0:49:31.760 --> 0:49:35.040
<v Speaker 1>bring that up to say I did drive by Dodger Stadium.

0:49:35.200 --> 0:49:38.600
<v Speaker 1>The visibility is very very bad right now, especially like

0:49:38.719 --> 0:49:41.480
<v Speaker 1>higher up in the air, and I saw not one

0:49:41.520 --> 0:49:46.399
<v Speaker 1>but two planes circling Dodger Stadium with signs making fun

0:49:46.440 --> 0:49:49.279
<v Speaker 1>of the astros who are in town. So they said,

0:49:49.320 --> 0:49:51.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what, we may not be able to see,

0:49:51.080 --> 0:49:53.359
<v Speaker 1>but we gotta get these puppies in the air, And

0:49:53.400 --> 0:49:57.080
<v Speaker 1>the one that I was able to read said good

0:49:57.200 --> 0:50:01.840
<v Speaker 1>luck stealing this sign. Astros che ers, um, and I

0:50:01.960 --> 0:50:04.760
<v Speaker 1>just love that even in the midst of a terrible

0:50:04.880 --> 0:50:09.160
<v Speaker 1>natural disaster and global pandemic, we still find a way

0:50:09.680 --> 0:50:12.480
<v Speaker 1>to say fuck you to the Astros. And that's actually

0:50:12.600 --> 0:50:15.200
<v Speaker 1>what America needs right now. Damn straight. We don't need

0:50:15.239 --> 0:50:17.840
<v Speaker 1>a government that helps assistance. We need more people shooting

0:50:17.840 --> 0:50:20.840
<v Speaker 1>on the Astros because that comes from the right place.

0:50:21.080 --> 0:50:24.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, you cheated, you stole, fuck you. We could

0:50:24.000 --> 0:50:25.719
<v Speaker 1>all get on the right side of that. How are

0:50:25.760 --> 0:50:29.360
<v Speaker 1>they able to keep that World serious championship? Because baseball

0:50:29.480 --> 0:50:31.840
<v Speaker 1>is Look, it's one of my favorite sports, but it

0:50:31.920 --> 0:50:35.760
<v Speaker 1>is run by the dumbest human beings. Actually, someone plowed

0:50:35.760 --> 0:50:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the idea of theo Epstein take being come from in

0:50:37.960 --> 0:50:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the next Commissioner of Baseball, because he's what else did

0:50:41.160 --> 0:50:43.879
<v Speaker 1>the Epstein need to accomplish? I mean, Cleveland Indians having

0:50:43.920 --> 0:50:45.399
<v Speaker 1>won the World season seven years. I guess you could

0:50:45.400 --> 0:50:47.520
<v Speaker 1>go there and say that fan base, they're just running

0:50:47.640 --> 0:50:50.359
<v Speaker 1>my stupid people. And I agree with you, Megan, it's

0:50:50.400 --> 0:50:52.719
<v Speaker 1>nice that we're coming together over this. What is particularly

0:50:52.760 --> 0:50:56.360
<v Speaker 1>awesome is it seems like everyone that the Astros wronged

0:50:56.719 --> 0:50:59.840
<v Speaker 1>is having a great year. The Dodgers are dominating you.

0:51:00.120 --> 0:51:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Darvish was on my beloved Cubs. He got they cheated

0:51:04.080 --> 0:51:05.960
<v Speaker 1>against him, he got they crushed him in that World

0:51:06.000 --> 0:51:09.759
<v Speaker 1>Series and they did. Remember this is I can do

0:51:09.800 --> 0:51:11.400
<v Speaker 1>this for you guys. Remember the one guy did the

0:51:11.480 --> 0:51:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I thing. He didn't do it. You didn't you didn't

0:51:16.880 --> 0:51:19.120
<v Speaker 1>do it. I was saying the record, Joe did not

0:51:19.239 --> 0:51:22.480
<v Speaker 1>do it. He just he said I and held it in.

0:51:23.840 --> 0:51:25.799
<v Speaker 1>I just want to make sure it's a podcast. Joe

0:51:25.920 --> 0:51:28.520
<v Speaker 1>is a good man. Yeah, yeah, I didn't actually do it.

0:51:28.520 --> 0:51:30.360
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to remind I didn't know what to

0:51:30.400 --> 0:51:33.680
<v Speaker 1>call that. What do you call that? A visual slur?

0:51:34.320 --> 0:51:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Thank you to the visual slur things. So you darbish

0:51:36.600 --> 0:51:38.400
<v Speaker 1>like that was a bad World Series for me to

0:51:38.440 --> 0:51:40.239
<v Speaker 1>deal with all the questions about how do you feel

0:51:40.280 --> 0:51:43.040
<v Speaker 1>about this guy insulting your heritage too. I don't know

0:51:43.080 --> 0:51:44.920
<v Speaker 1>what happened. I was one of the best pitchers in baseball,

0:51:45.239 --> 0:51:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and it's like they know what's coming. So the Cubs

0:51:47.719 --> 0:51:49.839
<v Speaker 1>signed the following year. He went from that World Series

0:51:50.600 --> 0:51:53.440
<v Speaker 1>to the Cubs. He was terrible his first year with

0:51:53.520 --> 0:51:56.040
<v Speaker 1>the Cubs because he was trying to fix a problem

0:51:56.360 --> 0:51:59.160
<v Speaker 1>that didn't exist. He thought he had like he thought

0:51:59.200 --> 0:52:01.080
<v Speaker 1>he was tipping his page Jesse. He goes, there must

0:52:01.080 --> 0:52:04.200
<v Speaker 1>be something like mechanics that tell the hitter when a

0:52:04.239 --> 0:52:06.200
<v Speaker 1>curveball's coming, so I have to change the way I

0:52:06.239 --> 0:52:08.799
<v Speaker 1>pitch because I'm gonna get rocked. It turns out no,

0:52:08.960 --> 0:52:12.000
<v Speaker 1>they were using high technology to cheat against you, and

0:52:12.040 --> 0:52:15.080
<v Speaker 1>now that Darvish knows that, since the Astros have been exposed,

0:52:15.280 --> 0:52:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Darvish is seven and two with like the he's like

0:52:18.239 --> 0:52:20.360
<v Speaker 1>second in the league. In the r A, he's like

0:52:20.680 --> 0:52:22.840
<v Speaker 1>second and straight. He's like a cy young candidate, and

0:52:22.880 --> 0:52:25.239
<v Speaker 1>it's awesome to see because all these people were like, oh,

0:52:25.280 --> 0:52:27.239
<v Speaker 1>he's done, when really he was just a victim of

0:52:27.239 --> 0:52:30.000
<v Speaker 1>a cheating scandal. It's like when you're doing a show

0:52:30.280 --> 0:52:33.120
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, god, I'm really they just do not

0:52:33.400 --> 0:52:36.200
<v Speaker 1>like me, and you're like what am I doing wrong?

0:52:36.280 --> 0:52:37.919
<v Speaker 1>And then you like go back to the green room

0:52:38.080 --> 0:52:40.880
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, oh, you know, everybody's from Sweden and

0:52:40.920 --> 0:52:42.760
<v Speaker 1>you're like, well, what the funk? I didn't know everybody

0:52:42.800 --> 0:52:44.440
<v Speaker 1>was from So now I feel so much better. I

0:52:44.440 --> 0:52:47.359
<v Speaker 1>thought I was terrible at comedy. They don't speak English,

0:52:47.480 --> 0:52:50.600
<v Speaker 1>so I'm actually fine and that yeah, I relate to you.

0:52:50.719 --> 0:52:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Darvish in that way. I'm I'm happy he's having a

0:52:54.640 --> 0:53:00.239
<v Speaker 1>redemption story. Yeah. The Astros what a representation of a

0:53:00.239 --> 0:53:02.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of things that's wrong. And I loved that little

0:53:02.440 --> 0:53:04.200
<v Speaker 1>guy all to bay. I wanted to put him in

0:53:04.200 --> 0:53:06.359
<v Speaker 1>my pocket, carry him around. I thought it was so

0:53:06.440 --> 0:53:11.080
<v Speaker 1>freaking isn't he I think he's up there. I think

0:53:11.080 --> 0:53:14.759
<v Speaker 1>he's breaking up there. Joe, where can our listeners find you?

0:53:14.840 --> 0:53:18.120
<v Speaker 1>I know our listeners will in your podcast on all

0:53:18.160 --> 0:53:20.560
<v Speaker 1>of your social media. Yeah, so I have a podcast

0:53:21.040 --> 0:53:22.880
<v Speaker 1>was called kill Gowns pub it's still kind of is.

0:53:22.920 --> 0:53:24.719
<v Speaker 1>I just call it the Joe kill Gown Podcast now,

0:53:24.800 --> 0:53:27.759
<v Speaker 1>just to make it easier for people to search, kind

0:53:27.760 --> 0:53:30.719
<v Speaker 1>of recreate bar conversations. Both c J and Megan have

0:53:30.760 --> 0:53:33.520
<v Speaker 1>been on and they've been fantastic. And I also my

0:53:33.560 --> 0:53:35.480
<v Speaker 1>YouTube channel. I put a lot of I upload a

0:53:35.480 --> 0:53:37.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of videos, podcast clips, a ton of like almost

0:53:37.680 --> 0:53:39.319
<v Speaker 1>three hours of stand up clips are on there now

0:53:39.960 --> 0:53:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and TikTok. I post less stuff on TikTok my Twitter.

0:53:43.320 --> 0:53:45.080
<v Speaker 1>If you're looking for comedy, don't go to Twitter, because

0:53:45.120 --> 0:53:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I just tweet about the Cubs now, Cubs recap, c

0:53:47.600 --> 0:53:50.440
<v Speaker 1>J and I watch your He'll go. We got a

0:53:50.480 --> 0:53:53.120
<v Speaker 1>New Cubs recap. So today's was kind of funny because

0:53:53.480 --> 0:53:56.120
<v Speaker 1>the Bears had just won the no hitter happened, and

0:53:56.200 --> 0:53:59.279
<v Speaker 1>I like four or five friends in my garage, and um,

0:53:59.320 --> 0:54:01.960
<v Speaker 1>they're all yelling like Danny Collis and Bobby Buds are

0:54:02.000 --> 0:54:04.719
<v Speaker 1>yelling Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself like in the background,

0:54:04.719 --> 0:54:10.800
<v Speaker 1>and they're just being idiots. Okay, uh, final final thoughts,

0:54:11.080 --> 0:54:14.640
<v Speaker 1>what do you think the Bears record is going to be? Honestly,

0:54:14.800 --> 0:54:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I was hoping for four and twelve and we could

0:54:17.480 --> 0:54:19.400
<v Speaker 1>get the first pick. I want that Lawrence going to

0:54:19.440 --> 0:54:21.879
<v Speaker 1>be the quarterback. I don't think mix Robinsky is ever

0:54:21.960 --> 0:54:26.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna be consistent of quarterback to win playoff games. I

0:54:26.160 --> 0:54:28.600
<v Speaker 1>don't think Naggi is the guy either there. So the

0:54:28.680 --> 0:54:32.600
<v Speaker 1>quicker we figure this out and restart pace is not

0:54:32.680 --> 0:54:36.000
<v Speaker 1>a good GM. He's made some decent mid round draft picks,

0:54:36.040 --> 0:54:39.640
<v Speaker 1>but he's first round picks have been busts. And yeah,

0:54:39.680 --> 0:54:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm just kind of done with this era of Bears football.

0:54:42.320 --> 0:54:44.120
<v Speaker 1>So even though I want them to win every game,

0:54:44.560 --> 0:54:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not holding out high hopes. Okay, you're you're hoping

0:54:47.840 --> 0:54:51.560
<v Speaker 1>for a few wins. That's the thing with like With baseball,

0:54:51.560 --> 0:54:53.120
<v Speaker 1>it's such a long season you just kind of hope

0:54:53.160 --> 0:54:55.840
<v Speaker 1>for you can get lightning in a bottle. And football,

0:54:55.880 --> 0:54:58.600
<v Speaker 1>once you're owing three, that's your season essentially, and then

0:54:58.600 --> 0:55:00.840
<v Speaker 1>you have to sit through fifteen more weeks of just

0:55:01.000 --> 0:55:04.040
<v Speaker 1>bad football. So I don't really and it's not like fun.

0:55:04.040 --> 0:55:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Like basketball, we could root for individuals to take over.

0:55:06.920 --> 0:55:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I love Allen Robinson, but we have a bad quarterback,

0:55:09.080 --> 0:55:11.520
<v Speaker 1>so I'm not expecting Allen Robinson to put up great stats,

0:55:11.960 --> 0:55:14.040
<v Speaker 1>where in basketball some guy could just take over and

0:55:14.080 --> 0:55:16.080
<v Speaker 1>be like, my team sucks, but I'm gonna put thirty tonight.

0:55:16.640 --> 0:55:18.680
<v Speaker 1>It's just yeah. So that's why football, when your team

0:55:18.719 --> 0:55:20.800
<v Speaker 1>is bad, it's it's rough. And I'm not doing fantasy football.

0:55:20.840 --> 0:55:23.920
<v Speaker 1>And this year neither I said no to all of it.

0:55:24.440 --> 0:55:26.839
<v Speaker 1>Um but Bears are one of no though, so they're

0:55:26.880 --> 0:55:30.080
<v Speaker 1>already disappointing. You were even disappointing you even through winning,

0:55:30.200 --> 0:55:32.719
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's really beautiful. You can find me

0:55:32.880 --> 0:55:36.799
<v Speaker 1>at Megan Gaily at Better Megan Gaily on Instagram. They'll
