To any of you have any feelings, emotional or otherwise, in terms of attachment to the name, the big sui, the hour of our program that is called the big sui, I don't know if anyone here knows the complicated history of the name, the big sui, but we are changing it today.
We are retiring the big sui, and it is going to become simply the cleverly named hour one. Oh, it's good. It's going to become hour one. It's like an hour one is our one.
No, now hour one is going to be our two. What's our two named? No, technically hour one is a local hour. That's the first hour we do.
No, the local hour is the local hour. That's the first hour. Then there's hour one, which is the second hour. So hour one used to really be hour two.
Hour one. Hour one used to be hour three. Hour one has always been hour three since the big sui was in place, but now we're getting rid of the big sui. It is retiring.
Do any of you have an emotional attachment to the name big sui? Because I'm curious whether Mike even remembers what the back story was on what we were trying. What would I remember the back story? Was it the middle of that?
Do you remember? Yes. Do you remember that old nightmare? Okay, you want to tell people what we're trying to do?
Yeah, ESPN took an hour. There was like the middle of the end with us at ESPN. And this is when they kept doing things, they kept doing things that felt like it was just like shot after shot. Like they took us off of ESPN two or ESPN news and they put us behind the paywall.
And then they decided to remove an hour from our national show and we didn't want to remove an hour from our show or our audience. So we decided to, in the wake of their decision to remove an hour from our show, do an entirely additional hour, which is something we'd already done with the local hour. The local hour was ripped away from us on 790 and those partners didn't keep us in a loop. So we'd already flirted with the concept of doing an additional digital hour just for our audience and we said, let's just keep it going.
So we devised the big sui. Mike is giving you a whole bunch of context that isn't any of what I was thinking of and it's also not anything I knew. I don't remember any of that. I remember that we named it the big sui because we eventually wanted it to just be the initials BSPN and we wanted we wanted to just be hiding in plain sight as we were feuding with ESPN.
And all I remember was that the name was going to be BSPN. But then I was told that long after we created the imaging and everything else for that, Bill Simmons has already done that because his initials are BS. So we told Dan that pretty early, but he was still on this BSPN train and we're like, you're just going to have to settle for it being BS. Yeah, and it was.
It was all BS and now it's retired and now just I'm glad we clarified it. I'll tell you something. Now it's hour one. Okay, so it's local hours, not hour one.
That's the local hour. Yeah, that is so funny that all you remember is BSPN because you were like a dog with a bone on that. That's all you wanted. Meanwhile, I'm just like in the foxhole, like giving way too much information.
So hour one is local hour. Hour two is hour one. No, no, no, local hours, local hour. Hour one is the new big sui.
Oh, nice. This is the Dan Leberter show with the still got spot cast. Have a bit of an odd problem on my hand for my hands for this time of year in April, which is we've got way too much to get to today. There is too much video, too much audio.
We've got a women's championship being decided over the weekend. Two of the most famous coaches not even involved in the championship game. Almost got into a fight in which Don Staley was threatening to kick G. N.
R. M. is ass. We've got the national championship on the men's side being decided today.
We have from minor league baseball something that has supplanted what I believe to be the best play in baseball history. I maintain that the greatest play in the history of baseball is a home run going off of the head of Jose Conseco. I think the mathematical odds of that kind of clumsiness didn't have any precedent to that point in the history of either baseball or video for that to be the player who that happened to a fly ball that shouldn't have even been a double becoming a home run because it hit him on the top of the head. I thought was the greatest play in baseball history.
But now we have another here is this minor league baseball or college baseball. So this is college baseball. This is 10 feet in front of the warning track, 10 feet in front of the warning track. It seems like the ball hits the center fielder in the forehead and goes over the wall.
That seems as a physics experiment that seems impossible. And if they tried to do that, if they went out there and attempted to do that again, they could try it for the rest of time and it would never happen that way again. This is actually a treat for the audio audience because a play by play does work hit it to right center field. It's going to hang up and it is off the head of the center fielder.
That's going to be a ground rule double. No, it's a home run. It's a home ref for today. Oh my.
Hit the head of the fielder. How good so far it went over the wall in right center field on the umpire. I thought I was going to call it a ground rule double. He indicates home run.
So I need to do this again just so that people understand what happened here because it wasn't even the best play in baseball this weekend. I'm going to get to that in a second. So just to clarify the greatest play in baseball history has been supplanted by the play we're just showing you right now and it wasn't the greatest play this weekend. Okay, but in the play by play that you guys just heard because you heard it correctly.
If you weren't watching the video, the center fielder in center field on a routine fly ball to center field. The ball goes over the fence and right center field. It's not a small wall. It's a he's in center field and the ball goes over.
It's impossible for a ball to hit like that. That has to hurt so much and no one feels better than the guy who hit a routine fly out to center field. And now he's charging around the bases because the umpire is giving him the home run call. I'm sorry.
Why is that a home run? The play by play guys, right? How is that not a ground rule double? It hits something hit the ground.
It can't be a ground rule double if it doesn't hit the ground. It hits something in the field of play. It's not the ground. Not a player rule double.
I don't have a forehead rule double. You don't know the rules. That's just I don't like it. I don't like it.
But before I go any further on this because I really can't believe what happened in an Anaheim Angels game. And I've been telling you guys for years. Do you not think it is weird that every damn week there's an outfielder stealing a home run in the big leagues every every single week in the big leagues for several years now somebody's reaching over the fence and stealing a home run ball. This isn't exactly San Diego Chargers zone, but they have been the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for 15 years.
Okay, thank you for that. But if it happens to the Angels, I believe it gets to us 15 years late. I believe people aren't celebrating what it is that we just saw this weekend. Remember that used to be the California Angels?
I should bring that back to you. I don't remember the whole state. California Angels put it on the pole at Levittard show. If it happened to the Angels, does it take 15 years to get to the rest of us?
But I want to talk about Joe Adele because I'm trying to think in the history of sports what anyone regards as the greatest defensive thing they've ever seen locally in town. The greatest defensive players we have had are Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas. Perhaps you think of Alex Gonzalez. Who's going or on white side?
Well, triple doubles with blocks would qualify. Alonzo. Yeah, Alonzo morning. Who do you think of when you think of defensive play because it should be bark of?
I mean, I think the greatest defensive play is Pudge. I got the F and ball right. That's a great job. That's the greatest defensive play in Miami sports history.
I have the F and ball right. I mean, Bosch had a big block in the playoffs, but that's offensive player has to be bark off. That's the first ball more so than Bobrovsky because yes, yes, because Bobrovsky during his time with the Panthers was never considered the best doing that's fair bark off. You ask anybody up and down.
This is the best defensive center and so defensively it is hard to celebrate things. But Joe Adele and please this reminds me it's been 11 years since this magical clip right here. Please welcome the wickedly talented one and only a dozen. It's been that long 11 years and not as long as the angels have been the Los Angeles.
They used to California. Yeah. What was he trying to say? Athena Manziel is what he was trying to say.
Play that again. Play that again. Play that again, please. Please welcome the wickedly talented one and only a dozen.
It's great. It's John Travolta and award ceremony being handed a card that spells phonetically and he's not a good reader. You're going to love this, Dan. This is a rough look for me.
In 2016, they dropped the Anaheim. Give me now the shortened version so I could properly celebrate Joe Adele of the Anaheim Angels of Anaheim. Please welcome the wickedly talented one and only a dozen. It is amazing that he stole three home runs and the last one he ends up in the right field bleachers because he fell over the entirety of the wall.
Jeremy's on vocal rest because he threw out his voice this weekend with all the broadcast he was doing and he wants to save it for tomorrow's live stream. But quickly, Jeremy, because I don't know the answer to this question. That was not the final out of the ninth inning, correct? That was earlier in the ninth inning.
Correct. Thank you. If that's the only word you say today, it'll be your most efficient show ever and I'm here for it. Again, tomorrow we're going to do a live stream at 6.30.
This is a little bit inexplicable. We have to plan these things well in advance. So because the Panthers are out of the playoffs after losing by a combined score of 7,000 to 3 this weekend against the Pittsburgh Penguins, they've been eliminated. So we're going to be watching a Panthers game.
The Heat have not been eliminated. They are the 10 seed, but they've got two games against Toronto. We hope they are eliminated. On the road and they've got a game against Atlanta.
So they're unlikely to be in anything other than the play in game. And also, we're going to be watching the first place Marlins. That's tomorrow at 6.30 p.m. And we're just going to be doing random shenanigans, watching whatever it is that's going on in sports.
But what are you guys expecting from the Heat these last five games? If Spyo and Bam and all of them are right with, we're better than this. We're better than this. The next five games would be a good time to prove it against Atlanta in Toronto.
Next four games. Excuse me. Not against Washington anymore. You got two at Toronto, Zaz and one against Atlanta.
What are you expecting? Because I'm expecting them to go one in two at best in those three games. My guess is they'll split the games in Toronto. And they can very well lose the last game to Atlanta because the Hawks could need that game.
Like the Hawks right now are fifth. They're going to want to stave off number six. They're two up on Philly. So that's up in the air whether or not the Hawks are going to actually need that game.
And the Hawks never lose anymore. My guess is that they go two and two and he's fine. I'm at a real loss for how it is that they've dropped to 11th in defensive rating. They've been terrible for about six weeks and partially because they're playing good teams, but they're better than this defensively or they have been for the first 60 games of the season.
Then all of a sudden they're not. But I want to play Atlanta and I know you guys did some of this Friday. But I didn't think that we'd have a clip ever that rivaled Steve Holman getting mad at the heat 20 years ago and saying the heat ever is ordered to thuggery. But I'm told that against the magic we have Steve Holman.
The same announcer 20 years later still bringing it. And the lane gets knocked away. It goes up and down. It goes up and down hard.
Jack Landale just got knocked down. A terrible 30 plate by the Orlando Magic. This is what they do. They just got down.
Jack Landale and hurt him badly. Oh my goodness. Somebody should get thrown out of this game. What a dirty rotten team.
This Orlando Magic is. Oh my goodness gracious. Jack Landale got knocked down hard. Nice and Daniels wanted to go over and help him.
Great of God that Jack Landale is not hurt badly folks. That was a dirty rotten play by Orlando. I don't care what anybody says or anybody replays on this one. This is a dirty rotten team.
They get down by 30 points and this is what they do. They are dirty rotten players. Every one of them on that team can't take the losing. The Hawks are going to be four and all against this team.
They win and can play on everything. And then they go to dirty rotten tactics. But that's he has no business even being in the league. Go, go, but that's he should be thrown out of the game.
Throw it out of the league for a play like that. He is a no talent dirty rotten player. We're going to come over and look at this. They better throw him out of a flagrant two.
There's no doubt that this should be a flagrant two. If they call anything else, it's wrong. The entire thousand are viewed for a potential flagrant fell. No kidding.
Thank you very much. That boy is there obvious. Chuck Landale walked off in his own power. How many times did he call things dirty rotten?
Seven. You guys were counting? Yeah. Okay.
Dirty rotten team. There's Orlando Magic is. All right. So I've got something that was repeated seven times this weekend from basketball as well.
And it is I was laughing because it is rare for Yokech to show this much personality. Okay. He's being interviewed by Dirk Navitsky and Taylor Rooks and Udhanis Haslam and Blake Griffin. And they've just won and it was a great game.
God Almighty that game against San Antonio. Yokech is gone for 43 times against Wembley. He calls Wembley the most unique player in the league, but he knows how to bump him and get him out of the way and he's gone for 43 times against the best defensive player in the sport and Yokech wins in overtime and he's got the trophy over his left shoulder from when they beat the Heat and Jimmy Butler in five games while talking to Udhanis. And in all of this, I want you to not only hear the Yokech joke which is funny directed at Udhanis Haslam, but how immediately he takes it back by saying that he was joking a full seven times.
That's true. This is true. It's about a little bit in my hand. I mean, yeah, you all win.
Yeah, we see the position. We see the background. I see. We got three little things now.
We got three little things. We got a big dog. Not against me. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. Nope. No. No.
No. No. No. Yes.

Dan Leber card. Teammates, guests, from 3. Now they're gonna see a different Jimmy. Now he's just playing.
Nickelback in the locker room. Still gotch. They'll play D and show 3. As they take the nets for the 60s.
These pop words in his head. It's me my wife. This is the Dan Leber Show with the Stu Gats. Speaking of basketball in the Miami Heat.
I want, says his opinion and everyone's opinion here. As the Heat try to make this season interesting. When I tell you that Nikolai Yovitch since 2025, November 10th of 2025, is averaging 6 points and 3 rebounds on 34% shooting. And that they gave him a 4-year $62 million contract.
And that they kept him out of the Durant trade talks. Is there anyone that can explain that? Never mind, defend it. It can't be defended.
There's no circumstance under which you can defend it. But how do you explain it? Well, Nikolai's defense is that they've changed their style of play and it doesn't fit him any as a hard time. That's his defense.
That he mentioned because he finally got to play the other night, you know, against Washington because the Heat were up by 1,000. And he mentioned that that's why this has been such a big struggle. But I know Mike and I mean like you guys really got into it last week when I was away also. And one of the things that I would certainly agree with you about Mike with the Heat over these last few years is they've lacked foresight.
And one of those examples would be Nikolai Yovitch. You know, where not just the four years, $60 million and he literally never plays. But it's quite possible that they held him out of offering him for Kevin Durant. You know, like are we going to have this conversation?
I don't think we are. But are we going to have this conversation again in a couple of years from now where they wouldn't include Kello Ware in whatever, you know, trade X. And maybe he turns into nothing. Again, I don't think that's going to be the case.
But they were holding back Yovitch and they don't even play him. And so that is one of my big problems with the Heat is the lacking foresight. Hey, you should trade a Norman Powell with a trade deadline, okay? Because there's no way you're keeping hero and Powell next season.
That's dumb. Like, why didn't you know that hero and Powell are completely redundant skill sets that they're not going to work together? It's stuff like this that I don't understand why they haven't had the foresight to maybe see some of these things. They just missed the mark.
Like, I mean, did the whole thing. Like, you don't know what was available to them. They decided that they were going to keep writing with what they had. They decided against being sellers.
There's always a deal to be made. They have guys on the roster. Are we to believe that they have the league's most undesirable roster? Because if there were no deals available to them, it's even more of a failure than we were even high positive.
Let's keep it on this one, though. Just on this particular one. That's catastrophic. It's a terrible, it's a terrible contract now.
When we were all kind of nervous about it, but we're like, well, if he progresses away that their development team thinks, and it's actually not a bad contract. It's a case of a liller, too, right? Like, I don't think they wanted to include him in a potential liller team. It's like, they never play him.
From where I'm sitting, keeping guys like Ware and Jovitch out of these deals doesn't really make sense to me. But they seem to like them, which is a strongest agreement that they have. And they find themselves in the play. You strenuously object.
These are nothing years. These are wasted years. I think the part that's upsetting is that you have this great developmental team within the Miami Heat that gets these diamonds out of nowhere. But then they go on and just don't really get anything for them.
Even they go sign big contracts somewhere else. But there's no real return. Like with Jovitch, it felt like people in the league saw around, like, wait a second, like, there's something there. If you can mold him in the right way, that's a good player for the next maybe seven to eight, nine, ten years.
And now it's like, how do you take on a guy who's making what? Never play it. $45 million, you know, for the next three years. 60.
After this year, you'll make 45 in the next couple, you know, two, three years. Excellent point. It's an excellent point by Tony in that they do develop these guys. They develop them to the place in the marketplace where Gabe Vincent goes and signs a huge contract.
But at least for nothing. Either the heat sign them to a big inflated deal or something. Or someone else says, and again, they don't add to their assets, which the thing with this franchise over the last few years is that they've obviously whiffed on a lot of trades. And the argument always is, well, they don't have enough assets.
They don't have enough assets because they keep some of the more desirable ones off the table when it comes to trade talks, or like this season, they don't do anything to add to them. That's one of the things that has also bothered me over the recent years with the heats when it comes to trying to make trades and what they're willing to give up. And this is also very much their MO when it comes to signing players in free agency where they attach a value to a player when they're looking to trade. And it's like, this is what we're willing to give up.
We're not going to go over this. You're not going to bully us into making the trade. We are good with this trade, but this is the price. And it's like they're never willing to pay a little bit extra to get the deal done.
They're never willing to let it hurt a little bit to get the deal done. Can I keep you on this one contract? I understand the overall frustration that you have about a lack of foresight. They decided to pay this person when they and only they knew they were going to go up tempo offense.
They came out of the box and surprised us. We did not know that they were going to play with the fastest rate of speed in the league. Now, Yovitch himself says in a quote, we're trying a lot of stuff. Last four years were basically the same team with the same record.
And I guess they've tried different things. Some stuff suits you better. Some stuff doesn't. I have to make it work.
To give him four years, $62 million is an announcement. We know something. The rest of you don't. What did you know?
What did you see? You have more information than us. You knew what you were going to do with your offense. You could tell whether he would fit or not.
And at this time you could have gotten in trade talks with this player because you knew more than anybody that he wasn't going or you should have known more than anybody that he wasn't going to work and what you were doing offensively. But clearly they did not know. And how was that possible? If I could be a precise translator for Jeremy Trudeau who's on vocal res, they thought that when they instituted this offense it would be a good thing for Yovitch and it hasn't turned out to be.
How can you miss that? Very bad. But how when you have all the information, you're in charge of the money, you know more than us in every single way. How can this player not be a player who can get on the court for you?
That you're giving $62 million when you're not giving much of anybody money. And Simone Fontecchio is playing more than Nicole Yovitch. It doesn't make sense. So that's it?
We're going to say $62 million doesn't make sense. We're just going to say that is an act of stupidity. Give me what they've done worse than that for all your complaints about all the things that they haven't gotten and a means complaints on the other end. You don't know what they could have been offered.
Well, I know that this was available to them and I know that they had more information than we did on every single thing. And I know they decided this was a good player and this has not been a good player. Yeah, this fits at Waders, James Johnson, Whiteside type of mold and regrettable contracts. They're ice cold right now.
Just as a front office and as a franchise. They're in one of the worst spots you could be, which is not in the lottery and not a threat in the playoffs. They're not adding to their assets to kind of get out of it. They're just hoping that for the fifth consecutive year, the moon, the pie in the sky, moon shot scenario of getting a whale finally works out for them with what they have.
Does that just point like whenever you go buy anything, you almost, you go in with the expectation of like, I'm going to play a little bit more because it's what I want. They're not willing to do that. If you go to a car dealership, you're like, hey, I really want this car and the guy's like, it's going to cost you $2,500 extra. It has to be on their terms.
And that's the problem. Nobody's going to play that game with you. You could have packaged norm power and you owe it to the deadline and give it to a contender and somebody would have paid something. It's like it's okay for the deal to hurt a little bit for you to get what you want and they're never willing to allow it to hurt a little bit.
Oh, but this is going to hurt you guys more than a little bit because I haven't even given you the worst part of this because it gets worse. His extension, $62 million extension doesn't kick in until next season. So he's under contract through the end of the decade longer than any other he players under contract. That's brutal.
Right. They've been not playing him while he doesn't make any money next year. I thought it was this year that he signed it. That's next year.
That is brutal. Chris Cody has spent the last 40 minutes looking for a sound that will allow us to properly retire the big suey as the name for those of you who are more confused than ever about what we're doing. The second hour of our daily show has been called the big suey for a long time. I'm going to guess about eight years.
We're now going to change it to simply hour one. So it's not hour one because the local hour is the first hour, but it's going to be local hour, hour one, hour two, hour three. And for those of you who do not know or don't have any of this history, okay? Do you know what the word suey means and the origins of suey on the show?
Okay. You know, because I'm assuming a lot of people do not know that Luther Campbell of Two Life Crew one time came on here and he was reviewing Kobe Bryant rap song. That's what he called it. He just said it's sewage.
It's worse than sewage. It's worse than hot garbage. It's sewage. So later on when we were taking calls from car phones and landlines, we had a rule of no pleasantries on the show.
You cannot start the call with, hey, hello, what's going on. We just wanted you to get to whatever it is your point was. And anybody who did start with a pleasantries got hit with a suey guillotine, which was just an assortment of random sounds. So I want you to imagine somebody calls and hey, how you doing guys?
And we just hit them immediately with something like this. So to me, virtue, my mom and my dad's in town. Can I offer him an imitation? Yeah, I don't wish that girl lady bad luck, but I hope she gets hit with a car.
He's got age. Go in, I love selling blood. Time capsule. That was a good song.
I don't think that that was the best suey montage, but it's a good song. So I would call in and for him to not be long, you would hit him with that. That's right. But entertaining.
It's not hey, how you doing? It's this. So to me, virtue, my mom and my dad's in town. Can I offer him an imitation?
Yeah. And I don't wish that girl lady bad luck, but I hope she gets hit with a car. Go in, my life. I love selling blood.
That was Tommy LaSorda. You love selling blood? Yes. Yeah, that was a rap song by Tommy LaSorda.
Yeah, you love selling blood. You didn't know that? The NBA playoffs are here at Draft King Sportsbook, an official sports betting partner of the NBA's boosting every game day all post season long. And when the lights get brighter, the best players in the world show you exactly who they are.

Don Libertard. Don Libertard is Captain Happy. Stu Gats. Is this Chum Bucket?
This is the Don Libertard Show with the Stu Gats. Want to get back to know it now for a second because I just can't believe what has happened. Do any of you find as fascinating as I do because it cannot be covered enough. It cannot be a, to me, it could not be a sports story that gets covered by the mainstream media sufficiently to say that in a single game, a guy reached, oh, shut out, a 1-0 game, a guy reached over the fence three times to steal home runs and on the third one in the ninth inning, ended up fully in the right field bleachers in one of the coolest photographs you will ever see given the historic nature of the moment.
And I'm willing to say it's the best defensive thing I've ever seen at a sporting event. That three, I just can't imagine the mathematical odds against being able to steal three home runs in a single game. And I don't know, like all of them were clean, all of them were great, all of them were him reaching over the fence and the last of them was the best of them and the most important of them. There are a few things that make all of it so cool.
Like when you're growing up and you're playing baseball, we all would fantasize about stealing a home run. There are a lot of things you could possibly do. Not only did he do it three times in a game, all three of them were legit robbing home runs. Like Aaron Judge, I think on Saturday, took away a home run from one of the volunteers, but not really.
He just kind of stuck his arm up and I don't even know if it would have cleared the wall. He's also giant. Okay. He's also massive, like a nine foot, eight wings fail.
But all of these would have been home runs and of course it was a one nothing game. Now I don't want to be this guy, Dan. All right. But the third one, which is the coolest one.
Don't do this. I've heard this. Don't do this. And it's on the short portion right field and he falls into the ground.
Let him cook. The ball is in the stands. The balls in the stands. How is it not a home run?
He catches it, but he's in the crowd. You're telling me you could just run into the stands, ten rows up, catch the ball. Oh, no, it's out. It's not a home run because I caught it.
He's in the crowd. How is that a home run? Not a home run. I'm just saying the ball's in the crowd.
Do you have eyes? He jumps from the field of play out of the field of play where the ball's still in the air catches it. And everyone lands in home run territory. So he should have taken it out of his glove, thrown it back into the field of play and just made it a double.
If a ball lands in the crowd over the wall. It didn't land. He caught it. Of course it did.
They all landed in his glove. But he is in the crowd. He jumped out. He hasn't landed yet.
Right? Well, you're not understanding that he jumps. He's in the air. The ball goes in his glove out.
Exactly. He hasn't landed yet. Right? So if he lands and catches it.
Yeah. I think the part you're not understanding says is that for it to be a home run, it has to hit beyond play. The ball has to land somewhere beyond the fence. It can hit.
If it hits over the fence and falls behind the fence. There are times, right? There are markings in the big leagues that something could hit a facade end up back on the fence. It's a home run.
But the place it hits beyond the fence can't be a glove. Right. It can be anything but a glove. If it hits anything but, well, I suppose you can catch it in his hat as well.
You could bear hands too. We saw that and only get their own. What if he jumps over the fence and then establishes himself? That's what I'm saying.
You can't establish yourself. No, that's in the air. Then you would have to jump up into the air. Once you establish yourself over the fence and you leap into the air as long as your feet are down on the ground.
No way. No way. That's true. That's true.
Right? He hops over the fence, builds on momentum and runs, leaps, lands in the field of play. Bring the ball back into the field of play. That's robbing a home run.
That ball is over the fence. What if he stands on top of the fence and catches the ball? That's clearly not. That was majorly too.
I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure I'd have to look this up. I'm going to try and look it up during the break. I'm pretty sure in a Japanese baseball game one time there is a famous video clip of a guy standing on top of the wall.
That's majorly too. I know. I know. There's a Cleveland.
Guys. That's when Serrano was menacing. He did a wild things pitch. The masked good hands.
I am not confusing. He had good hands. I am not confusing. The Japanese player in major league two with a real home run in Japanese baseball.
It also, no, not me. There is a chance and you're like looking afraid of it. No. No.
I'm going to know. We can't trust our memories. Dan. Do you know that?
This could be a Mandela effect. I'm telling you that before I saw it in major league two, I had seen it in Japanese baseball, but I'm going to look it up during the break to prove myself to you guys. Now, you may remember, you may not remember that last year during the first half of a Vikings football game, speaking of defensive things. Isaiah Rogers had both like a 66 yard fumble return touchdown and like an 87 yard pick six in the first half of a game against the Bengals.
And when that happened, I'm like, that's probably one of the best defensive halves anybody's ever had. The mathematical odds against Joe Adele catching three home run balls in a single game win. The most home run robberies by a single player in the entire season last year was four for the entire season. And it's only because the home runs are getting robbed more than they ever have.
Did someone please explain to me what's happening there? How is it possible? Is it because baseball players are better athletes? It's because they're all trying to hit home runs, but how is it possible that I would go an entire Marlin season without watching anybody get a home run stolen and now all of a sudden every single week it's happening with somebody in baseball and now it's happening three times in a single game.
I mean, it should be noted that that park's dimensions play to this. What was that? They played to this. Like that that short porch in right is pretty unique, but at least that was just one of the three, you know, otherwise, you know, the other two weren't over there.
The other two were closer to right center. It wasn't that's not where the other two were again, Joe Adele is his name and he just did something more memorable in an Angels game than Albert Pujols or Mike Trout ever did. I mean, it's an outlier though, right? Like you're looking at something that rarely happens.
I think it's completely random. It's the BAM 83 point game. Like why are people scoring more? It's like, well, we had this random guy do it.
You have three three stolen home rumblers. I think it's a weird random thing. I'm going to say it again. Joe Adele just did something more memorable in an Angels uniform than Mike Trout or Albert Pujols ever did.
Wickedly talented, one and only a dozen. I want to go back to that original clip because you can't play John Travolta enough. He's trying to say a Dina Manziel. He has a card in front of him that spells it phonetically.
He panics and decides to do it with a flourish and it's a terrible idea. Please welcome the Wickedly talented one and only a dozen. Do you think when he walked off the stage, he was thinking of himself, all right, I don't think anyone knows. No, I think he felt the panic immediately.
Jeremy, don't waste too much of your voice. Pick your spot here. We've been talking for 40 minutes without your help here. So pick your spot on anything that was said in the last 40 minutes that you'd like to either counter or address.
Adele is one of the best outfielders at Major League Baseball defensively. Got another. You guys are stupid. What do you mean?
I'm trying to celebrate as something that I just said, he doesn't like anything fun. Trying to get clarification. The rules. Ball off the player or his glove goes to the fence.
That's a home run. Guy catches the ball. I'm telling you, I think the one that was ruled a home run should not be a home run and the one that was not a home run should be because you hate things. None of them were home runs.
What do you talk about? The one that went off the kid's head. I don't think it should have been. Oh, I see what you're doing now.
He got the one that you chung after that, right? Oh, for sure. It started growing almost immediately. You hit your head and you get the chung.
You're like, oh my god. It was like in Looney Tunes. It was like in Looney Tunes. He was 20 feet from the warning track.
It doesn't seem physically possible that ball, if I just said it was a riddle, hey, the center field of 20 feet from the warning track got in the forehead. Is there any way that it goes over the fence behind the home run? Knows the edge of that. Sports fans, all the sports are coming together.
It's a great time. Just sit on your couch, text your friend, hey, come over. Let's watch the games. And when I do that to my friends, guess what they text me back?
