Transcript of Why Aren't We Talking More About El Niño? | Hour 3 (feat. JuJu Gotti)

You are listening to the Dan Levitan Show in partnership with the DraftKings Sports App, now live in all 50 states.

For all of my wife's understandable complaining about the sheer number of drunk pink people who are throwing garbage cans at each other and singing at 3 o'clock in the morning, it really has been lovely. To see the amount of passion sweep through our city during what is otherwise a pretty slow time as people leave the area because it's too hot here. Uh, the Norway— the Norwegian fans, uh, arrived en masse, and it, it was a total zoo everywhere around where it is that I live. So much of a zoo that one of the guys who is monitoring the cameras in our building says, "You know what my favorite thing to do has been over the last couple of weeks?" He's like, "I love to watch people who come to the fountain outside of our building and splash their face with water," not realizing how many people urinated in that fountain the night before that we saw on the video cameras because—

So many people.

I mean, it's just been so much insanity just everywhere that you look.

The last time there were this many Black people on South Beach, there was a state of emergency and they got rid of them all. Here, this is not what is happening.

These people are viewed as vastly less threatening, even though they are doing the movements of people who raped and pillaged. The Vikings famously raped and pillaged. These people are not viewed as threatening, even though all of them are drunk.

But the English fans have been making fun of the Norwegian fans because the English fans do the following.

No fucking growing in New York! There'll be no fucking growing in New York! There'll be no fucking growing! No fucking growing! No fucking growing in New York!

All right. I was there, actually. I was right there. They blocked the entire concourse. Let me tell you something. The English fans— and I've worked over there in the UK in soccer. I'll give you the bona fides. I've always heard about this, but I'm like, nah, they're fun. Nah, these English people are assholes. They are assholes. Like, straight up, straight up. The epitome of white privilege. Let me tell you something. For all their grandstanding and moralizing about the US, these assholes, if they were Latino or Black, they would have been dragged out of the stadium because of their behavior. And it's not just blocking the concourses, one-way point of entry. No, we gotta wait around here for you to sing a song about Thomas Tuchel.

Yeah, I got it.

All right. I got two beers in my hand. It's a million degrees here. I can't squeeze past you because you got to get these shots off, dawg. From the upper deck, full cans of beer. And not even for a goal. For a goal that was pulled away. A dude two rows behind me got clocked in the head with a full can of beer. And this was every, every time something positive happened, I had a head on a swivel because people— it's one thing to throw your, your drink in the air and have liquid fly. Everyone gets that. Don't go to the Azteca and pick up the worst habits that you saw there. These people were assholes. I almost got into a fight in the bathroom. I'm minding my own business at the urinal line. I go pee. I'm midstream checking my phone. I've had a few beers.

As one does.

As one does. Some jerk's like, "Hey asshole, get off your phone and pee." I'm like, "You want to hold it for me, pal?" Shake it twice, you're playing with it. He's like, "Oh, I'm sorry, mate. It's just our culture." I'm well familiar with your culture. You're a bunch of drunk assholes at a soccer game. I get it.

There'll be no fuck coming into you!

As far as threats go, "You wanna hold it for me, pal?" is among the weakest I've ever heard.

Yeah, he stood down. "Oh mate, I'm sorry." But if he's like, "Yes!" "Just our culture." "Yes, I do." "I'd love to!" "In the spirit of harmony—" Maybe over there in England you can't do the two things at once.

"Sports brings people together.

I would like to hold it for you." —The question I want to ask you: when they're singing "Hey Jude," that song is how old? Is it 70 years old? Is it 60 years old? How old is "Wonderwall"? Is it 30 years old? Is it—

Yeah, that sounds like 30. "Hey Jude" is not 70 years old, maybe like 55.

My dad said that the last time England won in, I believe, '66, "Hey Jude" had not come out yet. Yeah, so maybe like '55.

Yeah, it came out in '68.

Okay, so— '58. I mean— That's a lot of years.

That's, uh, that we've given you as a possible answer.

Yes, you gave me a lot of years as a possible answer.

And also, those, uh, songs are really old, and I do wonder about the randomness. Hey Jude, like I said, uh, your name, your best player, one of your best players is Jude Bellingham, and he is, uh, his name is Jude, so I get that. Wonderwall, a little more confusing to me, even though I too like, uh, I love— yes, I know it's Oasis, but I still— it's the song is How Old Exactly. Is it indeed 30 years old? Because you mentioned Thomas Tuchel, and I want to get to— he was very critical of the way the English team played, even though the English team, it looks as good as anybody. The 4 remaining teams are all giants, and Jude Bellingham isn't here for any of the criticism from his coach.

I thought he cut right right through it, which basically saying this, this, this quote here is basically saying, hey, our coach can bleep off.

Thomas has just been quite critical of the performance after the game. Does that show the standards that he expects, the standards you guys expect of each other, and maybe that there's more to come from the team?

Maybe. Well, maybe he doesn't know what it's like to play in those kind of conditions against Erling Haaland, Odegaard, Musa, Sorloth. You know, that's not an easy team to play against. So, you know, I think we've tried to create a positive environment. We should continue that going into the the Final Four. I can't speak highly enough for the lads. You're not going to win every game popping the ball and making 1,000 passes. Sometimes you have to win dirty, and we've done that again tonight.

How about Jude Bellingham? He's right about the conditions.

I was watching Harry Kane towards the end. As tired as I've seen a guy play the entire time, towards the end, he literally poured everything into that performance. And they actually caught a break because it was overcast the vast majority of that match. But it was swampy. Well, and what happened with Haaland?

Like, was he hurt or was he exhausted?

What happened to Haaland was sore Sorloth thought everybody paid to see him because there was a 2v1 when Norway had a 1-0 lead that all Sorloth has to do is center the pass to a charging Erling Haaland and Haaland scores that easy.

Do you believe Sorloth when he says he didn't see him?

How could you not see him? It's a 2v1 counter. I know he's playing out of position, but what are you doing? I can't believe he came out for the second half.

It's as if he would have said, "I didn't see a Clydesdale running down the field." How do you not see him? When, when he's running down the field. I just love what Bellingham said there.

Ah, coach is full of it. Like, this guy's pretty hard to play against.

I, I want to ask you guys something that's not being talked about at all, and I haven't been talking about it because every time I talk about it, people, uh, don't want to hear what I'm saying. You say the conditions— the players who were playing in Miami during the Argentina game, uh, who were cramping toward the end of the game, and just the, the conditions that the Dolphins are playing in. I don't know if Anyone here locally is talking about the effects of El Niño, and I just— and they're talking about a super El Niño, which means we are headed right now in this next year for unprecedented heat and flooding in our area. Our hurricane season is going to be much lighter than it usually is because our winter's going to be bad because of everything that's about to come through here from the Gulf where We have a storm system coming through that has the ability to have some extinction-level events around it, because what El Niño is going to do is something that hasn't been seen in hundreds of thousands of years. And my question to you is, how do you talk about any of this in a time where our information is being fractured and our weather systems and the amount of funding that we are doing to study the weather is going— is being cut and people are climate-denying as it relates to the specifics of athletes are going to be playing in unprecedented heat if we keep all of this outdoors.

And when, when Zaslav was talking about a guy getting subbed out, Norway's best player is subbing out at the end of the game because there are limits on how much the human body can give to offense and defense in that sport before even the most finely tuned of athletes, who don't generally have any quit in them are saying to you, like, I just can't go beyond this level. I'm delirious. If the heat keeps getting worse and worse, we can't keep doing all of this stuff outdoors, can we? Like, it's not—

it's going to be a level of inhumane to do this. None of this stuff is going to get better.

It's all going to get much worse.

It's all going to get hotter as we're already headed toward unprecedented things.

That's what the Lenovo Match Break is for.

For 22 years on this show, we've debated the greatest athletes of all time. Who's the GOAT in football? Who's the GOAT in soccer? Who's the GOAT in hoops? One thing that we all know is Dan's the GOAT of finding the worst possible take. But there's another kind of MVP/GOAT that doesn't get enough credit. The friend who knows to show up with enough Miller Lite. Plus extra ice. Because they just know the one who already has seats at the bar when you walk up. That is a Miller Time MVP. I've been on this show long enough to know that Dan is going to make everything about his feelings and Jeremy is going to push back on whatever I just said. But here's something nobody on this show will argue with: Miller Lite is the summer beer, the original light beer since 1975. This summer recognize your MVPs. We all have that one friend who makes every game better. Now it's time to give them their moment. Head over to Miller Lite's social media pages to learn more about being a Miller Time MVP. 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.

I want to address Tony and all men who would wear that shirt in public.

Greg Cody. Don't do it. This is the Dan Levitar Show.

You guys do understand that when you see what happens in Venezuela where the structures crumble and stuff, all of this stuff is going to come to sports and this little small playground that we make of things. I'm asking you seriously though.

What'd you think of the match?

What is the correct way to talk about El Niño with people who don't want to hear it? Like, what is the proper way— Daz? —to talk about a storm system that is coming our way that doesn't have anything in the way of precedent? What's up, playa?

I mean, I have my thoughts, but I'd like to hear Jeremy's first.

Look, I know Fernando Tatis Jr. hasn't hit as many home runs as you would expect, but I think he still deserves the El Niño nickname.

I think they all need to be indoors except for Buffalo and Lambeau.

Hey, shout out David Sampson, huh? Yeah, it's—

dude, I went to Philadelphia. Philadelphia was way more unbearable than the Miami match was because it was 140 degrees on the pitch. I will say, thank God for the overcast because Miami Stadium was the 5th different stadium I saw a World Cup match in by far. And I know why this is because of Copa America and the fiasco that we had with Argentina-Colombia a couple of years ago. By far the worst setup if you are a ticket holder trying to get in. I was— I had 4 different ticket stations. I was staged in, you know, that Walmart well across the street. That was the first staging area. And we were all herded like like cattle. Like, it was just— it was bad, bad, bad situation. Way too hot to be doing anything. There need to be domes on everything going forward.

I'm going to throw this your way again, just because I genuinely want an answer from the group on what has to happen on a field when there are heat extremities that I'm talking about that go beyond human limits. We are talking about a heat that is headed this way that will kill people, not necessarily athletes, but heat conditions that will kill. How many of them do I have to make it before the question isn't why? Why is Haaland asking out of the game? And the question becomes, of course, how could he not ask out of the game? The heat level and the conditions are something that not even the best of the world's athletes can withstand. They're going to start cramping because they're not heat conditions that any human being has had to play in.

Well, I mean, the teams— I'll try to answer your question seriously. I think the person that suffers the most throughout this in many respects, especially if you look at some of the college campuses and their stadium situation, are the people sitting in the seats. And I know we're not doing the physical exertion, but in college football, they at least have cooling fans. They have— they're just getting blasted by the sun. They have training staffs over there. I do think that some sports have to go well more out of their way to make the experience comfortable for fans. And that's why you're seeing the vast majority of new venues have retractable roofs, because, yeah, it's warmer, especially in certain parts of the country. It's insane how hot it was.

But you didn't, you didn't just try to argue with a straight face that somebody with a beer in Section 133 has it tougher than the guy playing in the fourth quarter of a game that he's already played four quarters.

No, I'm not saying that physically, but I don't have it. I don't have a team. I don't have a cooling jacket. I don't have cooling fans. I don't have a training staff dedicated to making sure I don't dehydrate.

I don't get on And water.

And I've also had 7 beers. I'm going in fact—

not just a couple. I'm going out of my way to not. And also I have to pay $17 for refreshments. You know, it's a difficult situation. And yeah, it's part of it.

I mean, you see how much pretzels are these days?

I'll leave this subject alone after this, but I am serious when I say it's going to take more than one person dying on the field, correct? You watch sports really strangely. It's going to take more.

Well, you guys just, you guys just brought up—

I don't know how you ignore the number of players cramping at the end of games. But if I make the heat unprecedented, if I make the conditions have no relation to anything that human beings have ever experienced before in terms of the human beings who are living now, we have to make alterations to some of the things that we're doing before we get to the point that we're all horrified because the consequences that the athletes are collapsing. Right.

So maybe let's not complain about the hydration break. It's a uniform rule. And I understand it looks ridiculous when it's happening in Atlanta or Jerry World, but it's a tournament and you have to have one blanket rule for everything. Otherwise it's a competitive advantage. But FIFA had hydration breaks and it's certainly worth it. Was worth it in Philadelphia and certainly was worth it in the recent Miami Stadium matches.

I don't know if you saw that Jake McCarthy, speaking of things that haven't happened in 100 years, has now had inside-the-park homers as a leadoff man for multiple times in a season, and it hasn't happened since 1929. Does Emilio Bonifacio have the only inside-the-park homer that the Marlins have ever hit?

I think Curt Abbott had one.

I don't recall. These are leadoff inside-the-park homers in the case of Jake McCarthy and in the case of Emilio Bonifacio. It's not the case— and I don't remember anybody for the Marlins having a leadoff inside-the-park homer except for Emilio Bonifacio. And off the top of my head, I just don't remember any Marlins inside-the-park homers. But if I ask you the most exciting play in baseball, do you think many people are voting for that? Yeah. Yeah. Like that. Because I don't— it's, it's rare enough that I don't feel like many people are ever talking about inside-the-park homers in any way for any reason. And so I don't think that, that I think Generally speaking, before I had brought it up, if I had just said to any fan or a baseball fan, hey, what's the most exciting play in baseball? I don't believe many are thinking of the inside-the-park homer just because it's so rare.

Yeah, I think most people would say play at the plate is the most exciting. Got a guy on second base, hits straight to the outfielder. You know, it's like, oh, okay, cool. We got a play at the plate coming up.

That's probably it. Yeah. It's like you actually think of the triple before you think of the inside-the-park home run because of the exhilaration of that. Like, I always say that the most exciting play that happens consistently is a stolen base. Which is why I'm glad teams are stealing more bases. And I mean, the Marlins are at the top of the league in that. It's really exciting to watch that. But the inside-the-park home run is like nothing else. I did just see here that one time for the Florida Marlins, Kevin Millar had an inside-the-park home run. And I would really like to find video of that because, oh my God, that must have felt like—

and does this ring a bell? Curt Abbott hitting two inside-the-park home runs just 4 days apart. He's up, Choi. Does that— that was '95.

The Heesop Troy one, I remember now. It was off the Bermuda Triangle. He hit the wall and it ricocheted in a wild direction and he was able to make it home. I remember as soon as he said Heesop Troy, I remember that one.

I can't believe what Mike just said. That can't be true. He's making that up. You're telling me Curt Abbott had two inside-the-park home runs inside of 4 days?

So you said inside-the-park home run. I'm like, I remember something with Curt Abbott. So then I Googled it and Google AI came me back. Curt Abbott hit two inside-the-park home runs inside of 4 days.

That can't be true. That has to be bad information.

Dude, like my— you said inside the park home run. My brain went Kurt Abbott.

Is there a possibility that you're being fooled by misinformation on the internet? I feel—

yeah. Is there a possibility that Google AI is confirming what I thought about Kurt Abbott incorrectly? Yeah, positively. Which is why I applied all the context. Why are people dying at games?

I've got two Kurt Abbott inside the home runs, inside the park home runs. One happened in August of 1995, and the next happened in May of 1997.

So a little more than 4 days, but Google AI was close in that he had 2, and that there were 2.

Still had 2 more than I thought he was gonna have. Let's check in with Tony, who is no longer doing drills.

He's now just eating lunch.

It's snack time.

Oh, my favorite part of camp with a bunch of 9-year-olds.

Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Was your favorite part of camp lunchtime? It does look like delicious pizza, Tony. Uh, a grueling effort today while doing the camp. What were the highlights? And can you just generally update us on everything you were doing out there? It looks like you're done for the day.

No, no, we're still— then is it just lunch? It does taste like water. He's right. The Gatorade. Tell the kid to pipe down. Good kid right here. Good. Is my star guard right here. Is the Tyrese Maxey to our 76ers team. I'm obviously Embiid. No, we're going to have an incredible 5-on-5 after this. We just had a break for lunch. We did some drills. Team's looking solid. I like Coach Phoebe. I like what she's got to say. So we're keeping it respectful around here, Dan.

Do you want to give us your Conor McGregor thoughts now? You deserve to be ripped off by the way that you supported and promoted that farce.

Yeah, the $9. Oh my God. How am I ever going to live without the $9, Dan? That was the funniest part. Like, I get it in the paper. Review setting where $100 is $100, but I'm paying $9 for 9,000 hours of content, also happens to be UFC once a month on a Saturday. Like, yeah, I'll get ripped off $9 when he tears his ACL on the first kick. Okay, I mean, it is what it is, right? I feel bad for Max Holloway. This was his biggest paid fight. He's a dog. He wanted to go in there and put on a show for the fans. I didn't really like the way he sounded saying for, for the, the, the trilogy get this money. I thought that was a little bit of, you know, poor form. Bad Patty the Baddie is an absolute superstar. I'm kind of turning on him because I used to not like him. Now I think I do like him. Um, it was a—

she's in your shot.

That girl's in your shot now. Not a lot of respect for your shot there. Uh, what is her name there who just got in the middle of your shot there?

Is she okay? We don't have to say her name.

How are you so bad with kids?

Obviously, that's why I've been— she's my— she's my— well, now my Jaylen Brown because Paul George is no longer on the team. She's more my Jaylen Brown going forward now with the Sixers. But we got a good team. How do you like our chances on the 5-on-5? 100%. 100% win. Wow. I love that.

That's why this guy's Tyrese Maxey. Thank you, Tony.

Appreciate your thoughts out there. Enjoy the pizza. I am jealous of everything you're experiencing right now. Thank you for being on with us. Thank you for all your hard work. From the Heat's 7- and 9-year-old camp.

It's like Billy Madison. Dan Levitar.

I ain't never met nobody in the world that's gonna hate on Blue's Clues.

Great nomination.

Like, who don't like Blue's Clues, bruh?

If you don't like Blue's Clues, you're a loser. Juju Gotti.

Look, you get one paw print, that's the first clue. You put it in a notebook. Now what do you do? Woo!

Blue's Clues, Blue's Clues. Sit on the chair and think about it.

This is the Dan Levitar Show.

Juju Gotti is going to join us here in a moment, but let's get to that bison video that, uh, that Jeremy and Chris can't shut up about before we go to, uh, Juju. And I should tell you, uh, Mike Ryan and Hercules Gomez are going to be breaking down, uh, all things World Cup, all things soccer, as now the real fun begins because you really do have 4 giants, like, just knowing no surprises, just 4 giants and giant stars. Like, it's just, it's just absurd. You don't— of the remaining teams, you're not going to be surprised if any of them win. Uh, you're going to be disappointed that any of them don't advance because, uh, these are, uh, the big countries at the end, the countries that tend to win this thing. Uh, and so I, I look forward to our morally abhorrent coverage in the postgame with Mike Ryan and Hercules Gomez.

Mike, only 8 countries have ever won the World Cup. Is it a good thing that, you know, only 8 countries have ever won?

I mean, we've recently had new winners with Spain, and I mean, France only won their first in 1982.

Like, no one from Africa, no one from North America?

It'll happen in our lifetimes, but yeah, it's a very difficult club to get in. It's pretty exclusive.

The margin for winning is so thin that it is surprising that no one sneaks past Argentina. Like, Argentina, last 3 games, a bounce goes different, Currently, they could have been eliminated in any of the last 3 games very easily, and you would have a surprise. But instead you get Lionel Messi. And I do understand all the complaints. It's not even— uh, Zazz, it's really not even that the teams that they're playing against get suspect calls. It's that Argentina commits plenty of fouls and never gets any yellows.

Like, they, they don't get penalized for much of anything in a way that's a little bit weird.

So you think it was cheating? I just think it's weird. I don't, I don't know whether it's cheating. I can't— I wouldn't accuse anybody of cheating without proof. Like, I'm not going to do that. But it is— I understand how other people who care this emotionally about something like this do find that suspicious because it never happens to them. And they've had 3 straight games, 3 of them. It doesn't mean that they're not doing wonderful things in the 3 straight games, but they've had 3 where you could say Yeah, they could have lost that very easily and maybe should have. Let's go out to Juju here before we do morally abhorrent things around here in the postgame. Juju, welcome. Thank you for being on with us. We appreciate it. We'll get to the polls here with you in a second. But before we do that, do we have any Jokers of the Weekend, sir?

Yes, sir, man. We got some jokers around America starting with us, brother. I'mma point the finger in with that, us Americans. Piles of garbage from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding are being sold for $25 to $100, and they have sold out of all the damn bags. Ain't that a thing, boy? We— wake up, America! God, don't start the rapture this time, please. Not yet, big bro. Let's talk to each other. We are the jokers of the weekend. Stop buying these folks' trash. Back to you, Dan.

Chris Cody, I think I just saw him mouth, "That's cheap." Well, I mean, I'm not saying—

I'm with Juju that this is sad that we're doing this, but if you would have said to me on the front end how much would these go for, I would have thought like $500, $1,000. This is crazy. $25. So you think that's good value? I mean, I'm— for $25, just to be curious, like, oh, what do we got here?

And it's trash. Somebody's DNA. I don't like this.

For $9, you could have gotten the trash that was Conor McGregor this weekend.

Hello.

Hello. Uh, let's update the polls here before we get to this bison video. Juju, have you seen this bison video? Because they won't shut up about the bison video, and they're telling me I'm gonna love the bison video even though I'm, I'm— I don't know anything about the bison video except that there's an old man.

All I know is there's an old man involved and there's a bison involved.

Yes, sir. Terrifying. Very terrifying. But the only question I got when I leave watching that video is Jarvis Landry or Ryan Fitzpatrick?

It's the question everyone's asking.

Yeah. All right, we've waited way long to play this video, and I could tell— I asked Dan in his headphones, you haven't seen this video, have you? Because we haven't played it yet. Dan, if you had seen this video over the weekend, it's where we start. And I say that knowing that Bam punched Tyler. Let's play the bison video for Dan and get his honest reaction.

And for the audio audience, this is Yellowstone Park. This is a grandpa. They've seen it. 65 years old.

Everyone has seen this video.

And his grandson.

Yep, at the park standing what looks like, what, 40 feet away, 50 feet away, and they have their phones out. They're like, oh, this is cool, look, a bison. And then the bison starts getting annoyed. He's like, I don't like what they're doing over there, I need to act tough, so I'm going to start running. And I actually think right here, Grandpa— Grandpa does a good move right here, cuz everyone's criticizing this grandpa. He clearly says, hey grandchild, get away, I will take this. Uh-oh, cuz all of a sudden you don't see— starting about right here in the video, you don't see the kid anymore. The kid has made it away safely.

But now Grandpa is on the run and he's running around a set of trees. He's hiding from the bison. You can see the bison just shaking trees right now and he's chasing after him again. And now the bison rounds around the tree and then— oh, here comes the grandpa!

You can see the grandpa, but there's a bison in it! Oh, he got 5, 10 feet in the air!

He went 8 feet up into the air, feet at the highest point, head over heels, head over heels.

However cartoonishly you think he flew into the air, it's more cartoonish than that.

It's like Looney Tunes.

We have a still shot here for the people.

It's Almost impossible.

Now, this guy is okay. He's been joking about this since. He did break some bones, but he has joked about this and he did survive.

Let's try and get him on, uh, as I suggested earlier. That is terrifying. Everything you guys just showed me there is, uh, I cannot imagine the level of fear as that grandfather who probably hasn't had to move like that in a while got launched in the air in a—

But can we?

But can we give it up to him? Because it does seem that there was a moment there of like, you get away, I got this.

All right. So Jarvis Landry or Ryan Fitzpatrick?

I'm not kidding you guys.

You can see it's a newer jersey that implies Landry.

When I see that old man in the air at that angle.

It is the opposite of the Jumpman logo. It is the closest thing I have ever seen in humanity to the opposite of what is youth, athleticism, and grace. Uh, that is an unbelievable still photo of that man, that hero. I mean, that, that grandpa— you said he's fine, just a few broken bones. At that age, old people die after just a broken— after a broken hip. That was a flight that that man took and landed from, that he fell from about the— it's the equivalent of falling from a 2-story building, is it not, given how high he got thrown up in the air?

And I don't— I wanted—

I have 1,000 questions for this old man, and one of them would be, do you know where Amin al-Hassan is? Juju, let's update the polls now. Where's Amin? Where's Amin? Every Monday we do the same thing with Amin in this hour. Where's Amin? Ask— call the old man up and ask him where Amin Al-Hassan is. Uh, let's update the polls. Juju, what do you have for us?

Yeah, and ironically, he looks like Amin when he fell off of the Ninja Warrior logo. He looked just like my boy. Salute, man. If he were trying to be annoying, should Tyler Herro press charges? 84% of the audience says yes, he should.

How great, how great would that be, Juju, if the next report on this story was Tyler Herro has decided to press charges?

I'd be like, yep, that sounds about right in America. Is Wonderwall for the English what Sweet Caroline is for Americans? 92% of the audience says yes, it is. Tyler Tyler, do you ever leave voicemails? 59% of the audience says no, they do not. Tyler, do you ever check your voicemail? 60% of the audience says yes, they do. Tyler, do you talk on the phone to someone every single day? 60% of the audience says no, they don't. Tyler, damn, I'm with you, Jeremy. I like talking on the phone. I think that's why all my friends have evaporated because I'm like, yes.

We should talk on the phone, Junior.

I'm the best. Oh, that's a good idea. And last poll, was your favorite part of camp lunchtime? 67% of the audience says yes, and those are your polls, Tyler.

So the man who was launched into the air is 65 years old. While Chris Cody threw a giggle, said he's fine, he underwent surgery and remains hospitalized.

So he has joked about it, and I saw multiple—

I did. I misrepresent what you said.

You were like, but look, that voice is not what I was like.

No, what I said is what Chris said was you said, you said he was okay. That is what you said.

I was repeating a fact. That is what you said. And then I said he's had surgery, not dead, and been hospitalized. That's crazy. He's made jokes about it. Not dead is different than okay. Not dead. You said it. You said it.

You said that he broke some bones. He has joked about it. Hit, and he's not dead.

So if someone's bleeding out and they made a joke, it's like open season for you then?

No, if you see that still photo of that person, what's okay?

I think okay is not dead.

Just continuing what it is that is factual here. Chris Cody said, please put up again the still of how high that poor old man was in the air again. Again. The— let me, let me just explain something to you real quick, okay? Before this photo and video was taken, the seconds before were the worst moments of that old man's life, okay?

He goes out a hero though, if he does go out this way.

The moments right before this video of this man being launched, uh, what are we going to say, he's at 20 feet in the air, 30 feet in the air?

Yeah. Chris Cody has said he is okay.

These are the facts of the matter after the fact. He underwent surgery, he remains hospitalized, and the guy who took the video told NBC News that he stayed in touch with the family. Quote, it sounds like he has a broken leg in several places. The doctor said he'd probably recover, but it's going to be a long recovery.

It's a gag, by the way. ABC reporting it's only 8 feet in the air.

When do you think the guy who took the video shows it to him? Like, yo, this shit came out awesome. Like, when does he show it to the guy?

I don't even think he shows it to the guy.

I mean, I don't think they're together, the person recording this.

There is no way that that's 8 feet in the air. Okay.

There's just simply—

that's not— you look at the car behind him. He doesn't seem to be that elevated past the top of the vehicle.

It's like 8 feet after he went 10 feet.

There is simply no way that that is simply 8 feet in the air and getting your leg broken in several places seems like it would be pretty damn horrible. And I will say again, the moments before that that we're laughing at, truly horrifying. The idea that that bison— I don't know how much— oh, maybe it is 8 feet.

Is it 8 feet? His feet definitely go higher than 8 feet.

It's so much higher than 8 feet. I don't want to hear that again. But here's the thing, he is upside down and his head might be at 8 feet, but his feet are at 15 feet. Yes, yes. That's the problem with how horrifying this video is. And it's now— video has now found the video of Amin falling down in Ninja Warrior.

Around a little.

Thank you, Juju. Appreciate the time, sir. Appreciate the poll updates as well. Thank you. Where is Amin Elhassan? Is that the only Amin that I'm going to get in this hour that we have both sponsored and reserved for Amin to come on and do his World Cup observations?

Do we believe that he's overslept? Is that what we're going to Guess as we can't find Amin?

I just got told in my ear he's been kidnapped.

Amin is sending word through Alfred Oglesby's people that he has been abducted, uh, and couldn't show up.

I think Vegas might have gotten to him. Oh, that's what's happened.

Summer league. Yeah, kidnapped in Vegas. Wait a minute, that's what's happened?

Yeah, he was kidnapped by a bottle of liquor. What's happened is—

I'm sure whatever happened, Amin won't be defensive about it.

But that's okay.

So it's Vegas, and so it's 8 o'clock in the morning, and God knows what Amin was doing.

Okay, I forgot that that's where he was. I would have liked to have talked to him about what happened. I'm sure he has some interesting thoughts on what people are saying about Bam Adebayo punching Tyler Herro. For all that we talked about this, one of the things that we didn't talk about is it's pretty out of character for Bam, like just by leaps and bounds, weirdly out of character from Bam Adebayo.

And has he earned the benefit of the doubt is, I think, the point Jeremy was trying to make earlier.

Well, I think I think there's something to that. When Mark Fletcher punched that guy, I was the first one to say like, something must have happened. And it turned out he did. He said something about a dead parent. Now I think this is a little bit different. And yes, it could have been something really bad that we don't have knowledge of, or it could have just been, it's Tyler Herro.

I don't know if you guys have heard me say before, but when you're trying to apply logic to things. That's not how rage works. The very idea of rage is— yeah, that's not logical. But all of us, even understanding that sports are competitive, all of us are surprised when it's bam, correct?

That bison had some rage, Dan. He did.

He was pretty upset.

It has to be Jarvis Landry because they weren't just actively selling Fitzpatrick. He was the backup.

Saved his grandchild's life.

How about Jude Bellington?
