Transcript of Mike Suggests a New Movie For Zaslow | Postgame Show

Summer is pretty much my favorite time to be a sports fan. The biggest soccer tournament of the summer just wrapped up. Baseball's on every night. Racing never takes a weekend off. And my calendar basically revolves around first pitches, green flags, and whatever game everybody's texting about. I realized I'm the MVP of my group. I'm always the friend that says, "Hey, I've got it. I've got a place. I've got some ice cold Miller Lights. I got the TV. I got a big comfy blue leather couch. Come on over." That's the behavior of a Miller Time MVP. I almost never watch the big ones alone. I'd much rather be with my friends. And if I am alone, we're texting, we're sipping on our Miller Lites, toasting the day, toasting the big games. For me, Miller Lite is just a part of a big game routine. It's brewed for taste with simple ingredients, clean, refreshing, and easy to drink, especially in the Miami heat. It's a true American pilsner and the original light beer since 1975. An all-American summer starts with an all-American beer, Miller Lite. Go to millerlite.com/dan to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer.

It's Miller time. Celebrate responsibly. Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.

That's right.

That's It's Thursday Thunder and it's presented by DraftKings Sports. DraftKings, the crown is yours. And we got a good one today. I will be delivering Juju's. These are not my picks, so you can feel safe betting this. Not my picks. I'm terrible at this. Parlay, 3-game parlay. We're going to go to MLB because what else do we got to bet on right now? Major League Baseball. The Cardinals, they got Michael McGreevy. Apparently he's on fire on the mound. Juju's going with him to win against the Diamondbacks.

4 straight good starts for him.

The Tigers have Troy Melton on the, on the bump. That kid's a stud going against the Royals. He's got the Tigers to win that game. And the third leg of our parlay, Tyler Tolbert under hits, runs, RBIs, under a half of hits, runs, and RBIs. This guy apparently a month ago reached base like 12 straight games and now he can't get on base. 12 straight times, 12 straight plate appearances, much more impressive than it was the record.

It was— it tied the major league record, and yet now he has been absolutely dreadful. So I like taking the under there.

So we got a +35— +335 parlay Cardinals-Tigers Tyler Tolbert under.

Zaz, it makes me think of a situation that I brought up to the show a couple of years ago, and I want to get your take on it.

Mm-hmm.

So imagine a baseball player who goes 1 for 4 for every game in his career in a 10-year career. Does he make the Hall of Fame?

Well, yeah, because he would have a consecutive hit streak. You know, he would pass DiMaggio. He would crush DiMaggio.

But he hit— but he only bats .250.

But DiMaggio only did it in 56 games.

Every time there's a game, he gets a hit.

You're talking about like 1,100+ hit streak.

It's the greatest achievement in the history—

100%—

not even just sports.

Yeah, the world.

But he only hits singles. He has no RBIs. He has—

you realize how high a .250 batting average is today?

Today, yeah.

But yeah, if you get a hit every game of 10-year career, you're a Hall of Famer. It's gonna be like Good Morning America. Michael Strahan's gonna be like, he did it again.

I agree, that's why I brought it up.

Does he walk at all?

Did it again.

Doesn't get walked, he goes 1 for 4 with a single.

Hoda's gonna be like, every single game.

His OPS would be absolutely dreadful.

All his advanced analytics would be terrible.

He'd be one of the worst hitters in baseball.

Kelly Clarkson's opening up every show with it.

Yep.

Do I?

It becomes a global sensation.

At what point does it just become boring?

He would know.

It's remarkably impressive.

He would get a couple over 3s and they're like, oh my God, the world as we know it is about to change.

They're breaking in live to college football.

He would definitely get invited on the Jennifer Hudson Show and do the tunnel.

You do the tunnel?

Yeah. Once he got to 57 and that's what they would chant.

But 250s on the show today. 250s on the show.

57 would be the first 57 games of the year. It'd be just like boom, boom, boom. And then 58. How long do you do it after 58?

Depends on the team.

He'd be dating celebrities, never paying.

Never gets to 3,000 hits though.

No home runs.

Pineapple juice.

A lot of pineapple juice.

Yep.

He doesn't get to 3,000 hits?

No, because he plays 10 years. He's 162 hits a season.

He's only playing 10 years.

Right. He gets 1,600 hits.

Wait, he's only playing 10?

Yeah.

Why wouldn't he? Wait. He's—

he walks away from the game.

He's going to walk away from the game. Yeah, because certainly there's going to be a team like, let's get the guy that gets a base hit every—

1,600-game hit streak.

Yeah, that's the only thing he has.

Probably greatest feat in the history of sport.

This is basically a world—

a really extreme version of, do you want Luis Arraez? Because teams every year are trading this guy away even though he's always at the top of the league in batting average. But it's because he doesn't hit a lot of home runs. He is a little bit this year, He's a guy that Dan's Rays might be aggressive and go get. Luis Arraez, also rumored to go after Tarik Skubal. We gonna do a live— a live show, Game 1 of the World Series in Tampa for Dan?

When you say we, do you mean you?

I mean we. The collective. Alright, second bad idea of the day.

So, we all love Robert Pattinson's performance as Antonis—

Love some Bobby P.

—in The Odyssey.

Haven't watched it and I love it. It's— it—

yeah, that shows you how good the performance is. Is Robert— Robert Pattinson, is he officially out of the 'oh, that's the Twilight guy' phase? Because it seems like he's like at the very top now of the food chain when it comes to actors.

Changed with Lighthouse for me.

Yeah, that was such a good—

Lighthouse on my queue. I haven't watched it. You haven't watched it? I have it on my queue.

Yes.

All right, add that to an OLI, things I like introducing. It's crazy. Yeah, maybe I'll watch it tonight.

It's insane.

I love of introducing people to Lighthouse.

I am so excited for tomorrow's show to hear about your review of the movie and Jeremy's haircut.

Like, what a show. I cannot wait to show— I'm gonna wear a hat.

I'm gonna reveal it at the end of the show.

If LeBron picks a team, it'll be the third topic we address.

It's crazy, right?

Yeah, the Lighthouse, it's a little nuts.

All right, I'm gonna watch it tonight then. Yeah, because it's been in my queue for like a year. Okay. I'm gonna check that out.

Have you seen Good Time?

No, what is that?

Oh, 824 with Robert Pattinson.

I love 824. Oh my God, it is a disaster of a movie and he's unbelievable in it.

Okay, uh, before we, uh, before we hand things over to Good Follow, do we have any polls for us to, uh, recap from today, Jeremy?

We do. We have two polls. First poll: is Lane Kiffin right? Are we all going to die? 87% of the audience says yes. Black.

And the second poll— Zazz, I have another thing I love introducing people to. Have you ever watched The Coffee Table?

You don't even know it.

I don't know. What is it about? I'm not gonna do it.

Don't do it. I'm not gonna tell you.

Is this like a two girls, one cup thing? So I'm not doing that.

Depends what you're into. Prioritize The Coffee Table. I know we just talked about The Lighthouse. You need— if you want, bring the whole family. Put on The Coffee Table. It's a foreign language film, but it's worth it. It's terrible. No, just don't tell him what it's about. Don't Google it! He's Googling it.

Don't Google it.

I'm on IMDb. Don't Google it.

I can't just go in blind.

Don't Google it.

It's about a coffee table. Alright, it says it's available on AMC.

Yes. Watch it. Please report back to me. Tell me— Watch it with your family.

So it's subtitles?

Yes. But there's not a lot of dialogue in it. I don't— in fact, I don't remember a single word of dialogue. It's the words they don't say.

Can you tell me a little bit about it?

Yeah, something happens around the coffee table that there are ramifications of, and there's a dinner— there's a dinner party, and all of it is very awkward. It's a very tense film. Am I gonna have a hard time watching it?

Yes. Are you gonna— so everyone has seen it but me?

I've seen other. Enough.

I have heard Mike talk about it, and I refuse to see it.

Watch it with your family.

No, I'm not watching it with my family. Hey Tam! Mike says we should watch this together. You go with Tam or T?

Tam. Okay.

Is it a huge gaffe to name it Other Mommy and not Other Mother? 82% of the audience says yes. Black.

I don't care if the little kid exclusively calls her mother mommy. And it works for the film. The title needs to be Other Mother. They have time to change this. Anything else, Jeremy?

Those are your pulls.
