Got this report here that the New York Giants called the Atlanta Falcons about Bijan Robinson before the trade deadline yesterday.
That Steve Martin was a proud comic, too.
You don't know where I'm going with this.
I know where you're starting with it.
Maybe I'm about to add something profound that you have not heard yet.
Zach.
You have no idea where I'm going right now.
Oh, profound.
So you know what? So you know what? Since you decided to do that, I'm not even going to continue. I'm not going to continue with the thought there.
It was profound, though, right?
You'll never know.
That's Cap.
Oh. It's been built up too much now.
Please.
Come on, Zach.
That's no.
Please.
That's Cap. That's Cap.
Jeremy, how you feeling?
My ass hurts.
Hey, yo.
Yep.
Wow.
It's all right.
And your shoulder?
Well, yeah, I got to ice the shoulder. I was icing my glutes earlier. Look, it was fun. And the reality is, is if I could have thrown more strikes, I don't think Chris had a shot. I threw Greg, I threw the man 30 pitches and he didn't make good contact with any of them. But at the same time, if my grandfather had three wheels, he'd be a tricycle.
Right.
Right? So if and when we get a chance to do that again, I will make sure that I don't tweak my leg right before we start. I will have my legs underneath me. I will throw more strikes and Chris won't hit me.
That was your first loss since when?
Playoffs in high school.
Yeah.
You know, I went 9-0 with a 115 ERA my senior year.
Yeah.
And so I'm not used to losing.
Yeah.
And it's not fun.
Jeremy, look, at the end of the day, Chris brought his croutons and got hits and you didn't strike him out.
I mean, I don't think he made any solid contact that was worth a damn like, the hit that we gave him to second base.
It was definitely a shot over the first base.
It was okay, so it was a little bit of a floating bloop that landed just to the outfield grass.
So you think it would have been caught by the second base.
I do think in real life, yes, but I gave him a hit and I'm comfortable with that. And by the way, like, we can play the results. He had a couple of walks. He had the bloop hit. There wasn't any good contact, but that's okay. Like, I'm okay with how this all went. If you guys want to judge it that way, I'm comfortable with it. I'm upset that I wasn't better. I'm upset that I tweaked my leg. But again, I don't want to make excuses. I lost and it's fine. All right, enough of this. Seriously.
There you go.
All right, at least now, at least now I wore it today. So that means we're good. It's not happening, guys.
JuJu, you got a top five for us?
Yes, Serseky, man. We all know, man. I'm a big Jaylen Brown guy. And last night was just embarrassing. Second hand, first hand, and third hand. So I made a top five most second hand embarrassing moments of my life.
Wow.
That I can think of in sports.
Okay.
Number five, damn, Shadoor's draft party. That was rough, man. That party went on for four days, damn it. Unlimited bar. Number four, last night. You got to dap bruh off at least and talk under your shirt like, yeah, let's keep it up. Let's keep it up.
Now, do we know that it's not his normal pregame routine to spin a ball on his hand finger like he's a globetrotter?
It says, I don't know if you heard the man. Him spinning that ball on the tip of his finger is him being completely focused on winning and the task at hand.
Number three, Usain Bolt was traveling around the field doing a victory dance and the cameraman rolled into him and almost killed Usain Bolt.
Man, I don't remember that one.
Good recall. That's a good one.
Bruh, I was so embarrassed because the cameraman was trying his best and he had to sit there.
Oh my God.
Embarrassing. Number two, big brother Mario Cristobal, man. Didn't call that time out against Georgia Tech.
Didn't kneel.
Didn't kneel.
Oh, he didn't kneel. Yeah, he didn't kneel against Georgia Tech.
By the way, did you see that happen to Michael Vick?
For real? Oh, yeah.
Did it happen to Michael Vick?
Bruh.
Dick blamed everyone else.
And lastly, the top most embarrassing moment of my second hand career.
Doc, did you call him Michael Dick?
I said Vick.
No, you said Dick, Doc.
Get the hell out of here.
You said Dick, right?
Yeah.
Get the hell out of here.
Yeah, I heard it.
I said Dick blamed everyone else.
No, I heard that.
You said Dick.
Get out of here.
It must be a dog guy.
Very unprofessional.
Get the hell out of here.
The number one most embarrassing moment of my life was Jaylen Brown in the dunk contest.
Oh, yeah.
I forgot all about that.
Oh my God.
How embarrassing, bruh.
I'll give it an all I because I thought your number one would have been Russell Wilson's girlfriend when he was drafted.
Oh, yeah.
How is that not number one? Come on.
I've never seen anyone open their mouth that wide in my life.
I mean, that makes me laugh every time. That's the best.
Yes, sir, man.
All right.
Now I know.
All right. Didn't we have a trade yesterday?
I forgot about that, Greg. Did we have a trade?
We did. I'm happy to have you on the team, JuJu.
Yes, sir. Who did you trade me for? I forgot.
I traded Yeti and AREMA papers.
Oh, yeah. Damn it. I guess I'm out.
All right.
Whoa.
Look at him.
Look at that.
Welcome back. I'm sorry I had to trade you.
Did you see Shaq down there?
Look, he's got AREMA paper.
Did not find Shaq down there.
How about that?
We not only have AREMA paper, we have AREMA paper from 30 years ago.
Get out of here.
Dot matrix.
Whoa.
Goes on for days. Straight from Greg Cody's office.
Thank you.
In the movies for decades, whenever there was a reading, a scientist reading, they would walk up there and tear it off the printer. It was that paper right there. Look at that. It's yellow. It's not even white. All right, well, a good place for us to start, Yeti. Let's get to our polls for today. What do you got?
Well, Zazlow, for the second time in show history, well, hell, there are no polls.
Wow.
Wow.
What?
Low stakes day.
What a show.
Not a good start.
Donna would not be on the show.
Have we done is that a catch?
Weren't there any polls?
I feel like we have we asked people if that was a catch?
I'm sure we did.
Dude, you should try that.
Yeti, was that a catch?
I dare you to put that on the poll.
That was not a catch.
What the hell does Yeti know?
Get him out of here.
What's in that Yeti?
Get out of here. No wonder I traded you.
Get out of here.
I will say, like, she didn't want to answer the question about what happens when you step out of bounds. She just didn't want to answer.
She didn't.
I got her there.
Yeah, you did.
Laura's Lava.
Bye-bye.
