This right here is the very best play-by-play person that you will find anywhere in sports who is willing to regularly join us. Jason Benetti is very good calling baseball games. I believe he has the best team in baseball. I haven't checked their record recently, but are the Detroit Tigers still the best team in baseball? They were the first to 50 wins, were they not?

Riding high. It's a thrill a minute for the Tigers right now. They just split a, as we're talking, they just split a doubleheader with the Nationals yesterday. So they're 54-33. The Dodgers are one game up, 55-32. Still, in terms of baseball surprises, is there a bigger one than Detroit? I don't think, not for people who assume that a 31-11 stretch last year might be a little mirage-ish, and I wouldn't blame anybody for thinking that, because

considering the Tigers were 55 and 63 before that stretch. But this organization has it figured out. So I don't think they're going to slink up on anybody anymore for a long while. I enjoyed talking to Jerry Bruckheimer, but this hour and part of a celebration of America as we send you into Fourth of July is going to be all baseball. We're going to have Pitch Clock with Jeremy Taché and Adnan Virk coming up here in a second.

But I wanted to ask you some of the things we were talking about earlier in the show. I believe, Jason, that these guys are underestimating the Kevin Mitchell catch a million years ago, barehanded in foul territory. If I had any one of my crew in the outfield try to catch a ball barehanded, a fly ball. I played high school baseball a lot.

Honorable mention. A hundred chances, Jason, to catch a fly ball with their bare hand. I love the resume there. Honorable mention. Well, I did finish seventh in the spelling bee in third grade. I did get banana wrong. No,

I mean, my deal is like you give that to 100 major leaguers and 100 chances and not many are making it more than 10 times. Consider the ground he had to cover and then reaching back like he overran it. He overran that ball and then he still made the play. So if you

Take every step that he took and you say, would you have made that catch based on the trajectory of the outfielder? No chance. It's a zero. I'd have made that catch. I've often said that. Yeah. Wait, wait. Do you say that while you're fishing too? No. How often do you say I'd have made that?

You're talking to the only other dude outside of Johnny Bench to successfully hold up seven balls simultaneously. Put that picture up for Jason. Seven baseballs, just to be clear. I don't know what steps led to that, but I'm very excited for you. Thank you, Jason Bonetti. I don't think he is. It sounded insincere. That's just his voice. Are you saying tone matters? Does tone matter? Come right on and say it. Jason Bonetti is a liar. I think so.

I used to like you. Well, you know, I appreciate that. You've often said that, too, I feel like. No, no, no, seriously. I do like you. And I like the tags. Go tags. Thank you for that. They just discovered Scooble this week on Monday when he pitched on Sunday night. That guy's good. They just discovered these guys.

I'm not kidding you. I know we talked about this with you last time, Benetti, but the reaction I had to the first time I saw Scooble at the beginning of last year was to say that person's more unhittable than Clayton Kershaw. And obviously, I've never said that about any left-hander. Yeah, he has this kind of special level of anger, anger.

about batters like he doesn't hate batters but he does study them and he does there's like high intrigue when he faces a guy that's another star and so you saw off the first pitch of the game he threw Byron Buxton a change-up Buxton we've been talking all series on our shows about how much he ambushes first pitches he's like 44 percent first pitch swing Scooble threw him a change-up

And my buddy, Mike Petriello from StatCast had looked this up before the game. Tarek Scooble had never, ever, ever thrown a first pitch of a game that was anything but a fastball. He threw a change up to Buxton just to mess with him. And I...

And I love that. Like, we need more of that in baseball. And then they had a laugh about it. Buxton was looked at and basically like, what? No fastball? Like, no free donuts today? Scooble-dooble-doo. Is it correct that every day in Major League Baseball, somebody is climbing the outfield wall to rob a home run? Yes, absolutely.

I had that thought last night as I was watching Jacob Young from the Nationals suction himself to the center field wall, use the bottom of the wall as a ladder. I mean, really, he stuck his foot in there like he was climbing a tree to rescue a cat.

and then puts his glove over the top of the thing. It is every night. Like I did have this thought during the game. We were, Dan Petrie, my analyst, and I were talking about just like CJ Abrams, James Wood, the young talent for the Nationals and how big they are and how athletic they are. I'm scared about the new generation of athletes. Like I said this on the air last night. What if Wemby was a baseball player? What would that look like?

Well, a big strike zone. He'd strike out a lot. It wouldn't look like what Aaron Judge is doing. That's true. That's very true. Well, tell me, though, the defense in baseball is how much better than it has ever been. And, for example, the middle of the Cubs infield, not just the middle of the Cubs, catcher, center field, middle infielders. Is it the best middle up the middle defense that there is in the sport? They're really good.

Pete Crowe Armstrong is unbelievable to watch. Nico Horner racks up so much war from just stuff he does defensively.

And I, this is where baseball got it, right? It, that it might be the best. I think, I think it probably is the best up the middle in the sport, but, but this is where baseball got it, right? People do want to see athleticism. People don't want to see baseballs hit directly at folks over and over and over again. And I know, again, we've talked about it a bunch in other contexts, baseball takes a lot of shrapnel and rightfully so a lot of the time, but,

the defense we're seeing, I think, is a direct result of the change in rules a couple of years ago. And I'm glad they did it. Can you tell us whether or not you believe outside of people like you and people that care deeply about baseball, does 3000 strikeouts still mean anything as a number? I think so, because I think it's longevity that we're probably

not going to see from pitchers. I don't think that's a new take, but I do think the idea that somebody will be around. Kershaw made his debut in 2008. His first strikeout was of Skip Schumacher, who as of last year was a manager in the league.

There is something beautiful about a person spanning generations in this game. And so Clayton Kershaw doing that, I think, is a reminder that we can still have some longevity. And, you know, the plate umpire, Jim Wolfe, is one of my favorites because when he's over at first base every once in a while, the guy who had the plate last night for Kershaw, every once in a while, he'll be at first and

and somebody will appeal on a check swing. And every now and then, depending on who's on his crew, they'll go, we'll pay and yell his name over at first base, which I love more than life itself. Well, we've got a couple of questions that have come up today on that front. Do you believe that there's ever been an umpire daydreaming during a check swing and they just sort of fake it? Absolutely. They got to go safe. You go no swing, right? If you get caught sleeping, you go no swing, right? Yeah, you absolutely have to. You take a deep breath and you go, yeah.

Didn't go. We mentioned how in the NBA sometimes if they don't know a call, they'll point to the other official. You got it here? Do you think that would be funny if a third base umpire just points to the second base umpire? You got this. I think it would be amazing. I love when umpires make mistakes and are happy to say it.

So they've been working with the umpires the league has to get the umpires to talk more on the microphones, right? To give us better explanations. And we had one the other day, Dan Isonia, who's been around a while. He's a really good umpire, I think. And Dan, as he was announcing the call, said the ruling on the field has been over to... No, it stands. He just forgot which one it was and kind of smiled and gave it that look like, oh, man.

and but but acknowledged it and was willing to play with it. I think we need more unseriousness from umpires. Jason, now that we're kind of in the dog days of summer, we're heading into the all star break. But, you know, it's a slower time. Baseball tends to slow down at some point. Have you found yourself at any point longing and saying, you know what? I miss Angel Hernandez. Like he'd be making this game a lot more fun today.

I was just talking to one of the Tigers about umpires and Angel's name came up and this Tiger player said to me, he goes, "You know what I miss? I miss Angel's strike call." And I was like, "Oh, that's very specific."

But Angel Hernandez would like ring the bell over his head. Like he'd give you the strike. Like he was like, he was peeling the bell in the tower, you know, at the church. And I think we need more of that too. We need like more Tom Hallion retired a couple of years ago and he's called tornado Tom because he'd like,

turn and give you the punch for strike three. More of that, please. And the great thing about Angel's strike calls, you never knew when it was coming. Ball, strike, it could be at any point in time. That's what they don't miss. The strike call on the balls. That's what they don't miss.

Can you give us an example here of something in your sport more outdated than the umpire signaling to the press box official scorer the P for protest by just simply writing it in the air the way that you would on a steamed shower? Give me something more ancient and fossilized in your entire fossilized sport than that. Oh, man.

Man, that is such a good question. Oh, so, okay. So I would say people who want you to bunt every time there's a runner at first, it doesn't matter who the hitter is. It doesn't matter who the on-deck hitter is. There are some people who a runner goes to first and they're like, bunt, right? Like April 15th.

Tax day, right? Runner gets to first. You should butt. It could be Aaron Judge at the plate and me on deck. And they'd be like, you got to get them over. Some people think that runs score at second base in baseball. That is as antiquated as anything. We're going to play. Go ahead. I'm sorry. No, no, please. I was going to say second place. Second place is somebody rubbing the baseballs with that mud. Like somebody, somebody taking the whole.

the whole shebang of the baseballs and just rubbing it up. That's still somebody's job. We're going to play a couple of games here that we've been talking about during the show, but just as a palate cleanser to get us from the baseball talk to that, I don't know, let's combine a couple of things. Your droopy dog impersonation with whatever it is that droopy dog's favorite karaoke song is. So I was debating the other day during a rain delay in my mind, would droopy dog go full

full sad song? Or would he go full, like, thrilled, elated? Like, would he go, because I'm happy, clap along if you feel like a room without a roof. Right? That would be the ideal, like...

He's generally that guy who's like, I'm happy. So would he go Pharrell? Or has something happened to him that made him like this, like a relationship gone wrong? And would he go like, you didn't have to cut me off. Make out like it never happened.

and we were nothing. Somebody I used to know from Gautier. Did something happen to him? Or is there a sort of longing like, Brandy, you're a fine girl. What a good wife you would be. I don't know. And

I need your opinion on what he would choose. Well, I think it would be Chumbawamba. I think that's what he would go. Or Tears of a Clown. I think he might go Tears of a Clown where it's a happy song, but it's also sad. It sounds like it's happy. R.B. Greaves, take a letter, Maria. Address it to my wife.

We've got Jeremy Taché, Adnan Virk in a second on Pitch Clock. But these quick games here in the last minute that we have left. Are you Stan Van in or are you Stan Van out on the following? Chris Cody, give him Stan Van in or Stan Van out. Fourth of July on a Friday. Yeah, it's a waste of a weekend. We already have a weekend. Stan Van out. I want it midweek.

Give me another one, Chris Cody. Stan Van in or Stan Van out? Mike, do you have one? Is the big dumper having the greatest offensive season you've ever seen from a catcher? That I've ever seen? Yeah, Stan Van in. But there are other ones in history. But yes, Stan Van in.

Threatening to fight multiple coworkers in the office. Stan Van In or Stan Van Out? That's Frank Isola or Ass-Hola. Isola or Ass-Hola? Isola or Ass-Hola. You can say Butthola if that's better. Huh.

No, I mean, I've threatened to fight one co-worker, but I think the multiple is that it's over the line. So, ass-hole-a. You just wanted me to say ass-hole-a. Assuming people can catch a fly ball barehanded despite not knowing them from a hole in the ground. Thank you, Jason Benetti. Good seeing you. Good talking to you. It's ass-hole-a. Bye.

what's up guys tony here and i wanted to talk about something super important and that's how i keep my home protected obviously you guys know i have a little one back at home my wife is there with her and i get tremendous peace of mind knowing that the moment i leave for work that my home my property my family is protected not just reactively but proactively by simply safe

Don Libertard. Punctuate this segment with what is your strike three call? Strike one would be

Strike! And then you stand up and you give a good point to the right. Stoogatz! That's same for strike two. But strike three, you get down low, you got your hands behind the catcher, alright? The right arm goes up into the air. Hyah! And then you finish it with a punch. The right arm flings way up into the air. Hyah! Hyah!

I wish I could see that. It's terrible. This is the Don Levitas show with the Stugats. Welcome to the Pitch Clock. Here's the pitch. A two-part baseball segment combining a nostalgic baseball trivia game and an interview with an expert. This is the Pitch Clock. Pitch Clock.

It is Guayabera week on the pitch clock. Hi, everyone. There's Chris. I'm Jeremy. Taylor's here wearing his Knicks hat. Ethan's over there. He's not on camera. That's fine. It's time for another episode as we hit July. Adnan Virk will be with us soon as our 2025 MLB expert, but Taylor.

We have a new trivia game today. We have pieces of paper in front of us with every MLB logo. He's like, just, he gave us the teams. I'm just really grateful that this, I think, means it's not Ball Nowhere Trivia. Tell us what we're going to be doing today.

Yeah, I like trying to connect the trivia with things that are happening in baseball. Aaron Judge on pace to break the Yankees' single-season record for intentional walks by the All-Star break. So we're sticking with the intentional walks. The game today is three strikes and you're out. We have the top 20 players with the most intentional walks from 2000 to 2009. You guys are going to alternate trying to guess the players'

- Two to 20 because like a free space in bingo, Barry Bonds, number one, 390 intentional walks. And I don't want any side to have that kind of upper hand. Jeremy, you'll start. I feel like Chris has been going first a lot. - Wow, thank you. All right. All right, my first guess, I'm just trying to get on the board. 2000 to 2009, Alex Rodriguez. - 19th. - All right, I got on the board.

A-Rod is 19th with 82 intentional walks. Albert Pujols. That's a good one. Albert Pujols is number three with 198 intentional walks. There's a guy I'm thinking of that I think could be on this board based off what he did in the early 2000s. You know what? I'm going to take the risk on it. I'm going to go Sammy Sosa. Sammy Sosa is on the list. Wow. 16th. Ugh.

We're already here. I'm going to go Jim Tomey. Jim Tomey, 10th on the list. Why did you make a face there? No, it's a name I hadn't even considered. I felt strong about that one. 112 intentional walks. Okay. I'm going to go Rafael Palmeiro. That's going to be the first strike. Oh, wow. Okay. Damn. Frank Thomas.

that is also going to be a strike your body language and you're nodding you're like nodding along like i'm thinking oh this is yeah that's an easy one

Our 2025 Major League Baseball expert is here, and he's the first and likely only person to join this year's five-timers club on the pitch clock. Adnan Virk back for a fifth time this season before we even get to the All-Star break. We'll see if we can get to 10, Adnan, but this is pretty impressive.

That's the goal, Jeremy. Can I be a member of the 10-timers club? And, Ellis, I'm an avid listener not only of the Pitch Clock but also the Dan Levitard Show. And I just want to let you know, as a baseball insider that I am, historian that I am, I can confirm for Dan Levitard that Dave Parker used to have a big black back.

All right. Well, Dan will be very happy to learn that if he listens to this, which based off how he treats me on the show, I doubt he does. Let's dive right into this season. And it's been about a month since we've had you on the show. And so all of June just passed. I want to ask you which team in Major League Baseball throughout the course of June changed your opinion on them the most, whether that's for better or for worse.

For worse, every single team in the AL Central, aside from your adopted team, the Detroit Tigers. Let's go with Royals specifically. I love Bobby Witt. He was second, obviously, in the MEP race a year ago, but he's not been Bobby Witt so far this season. Pretty pedestrian numbers by his lofty standards. Maybe he makes the All-Star game just because he's Bobby Witt, but hasn't been the same player. Sal Perez is like a 620 OPS, but a real disappointment.

Jack Kent Leone's hit 180 as a big leaguer. That's been a disaster. A ton of strikeouts. I know he's got a ton of promise, but it's been a while to see him get going. Pasquantino, again, too much swing and miss. Their pitching is good. I mean, Lugo's been tremendous as always, but Reagan's has been hurt. Waka's been decent. Royals, to me, a real disappointment, buddy. My buddy Greg Amsinger and MLB Network had them going all the way to the World Series. That ain't going to be happening. Royals aren't going to the playoffs. Not only did Greg, you did on

this show you said the royals and the diamond good memory by you that yeah i'm always gonna remember that because we said the pasquatch would be out here winning a world series mvp unfortunately it doesn't look like that's where we're headed but you know where we are headed the marlins sit at the end of july in the exact same spot that my gritty tags from last year in 2024 did which is eight games under 500

and eight games back of the final wildcard spot in their league. Wow. To you...

Is there any case to be made in your mind that the Miami Marlins could end up being this year's Detroit Tigers? I mean, it's incredible work by you and very creative. And again, congratulations on winning your latest honor as a South Florida's greatest reporter. There's no doubt about that. But they're 37 and 45. I mean, I don't see them pulling off the Tigers did. But again, I didn't see the Tigers do what they did until it happened. So I was completely surprised they did it from August 11th on. They're unbeatable.

They're hitting over 300, 360 on base, over 500 slugging percents. They're averaging seven and a half runs per game during the seven-game win streak, collected 10 or more hits in all those games. Only twice in the franchise's 33-year history have the Marlins had a longer streak of double-digit hits. So they are banging right now. Your boy, Otto Lopez, hitting over 430 during a 10-game hit streak. Augustin Ramirez hits the ball hard. Love to see his exit field. He hits over 500 his last six games.

Of course, our boy Stowers was great when we talked to him, then slowed down, but now he's back again. So the Fishmen, I'm impressed how good their offense is, but I did not expect that to be the strength of this team. It's been startling to see, right? In the last several years, when the Marlins have had any runs of being any good, it's been in large part because the starting pitching's been great and the bullpen's been great. And this season, that hasn't always been the case, Edward Kupchak.

Cabrera's overachieved, but obviously outside of that, there's been pitching injuries. There's been Sandy Alcantara struggling throughout the season, although looking stronger and stronger by the day.

Maybe he can give the Marlins a second half school ball run. We will see. We will see what happens there, but it's been really fun to watch it thus far as we headed into July. Okay, Big Papi. Big Papi is on the list. He's 17th with 87 intentional walks. I had Big Papi and I also have Manny Ramirez. I'll go Manny, even though it's weird to have two on the same team.

Manny Ramirez is an even better guess. Number four, 174 intentional walks in that decade. Good Lord. You know what? I'll just go ahead with one of the ones that I was going to guess, and I'm worried that it's going to be wrong. Chipper Jones. That's a great one.

Chipper Jones is on the list. He's ninth on the list. 127 intentional walks. So I'm going to go with Miguel Cabrera. That's one of mine that I have written down. But he's only started his career in 03. Yeah. And he was like plenty of time, right? Yeah. Miguel Cabrera is on the list. 15th on the list. That's what I thought. 90 intentional walks. What I'm really so good at at the end of the day. What I'm looking for is like guys who were like the only good hitter in their life. I know they had some good teams, but. He was tied with Sammy Sosa.

- How about, I'm worried this isn't gonna work, but how about Ken Griffey Jr.? - Ken Griffey Jr. sneaks onto the list at 20. - That's crazy. - Man, I got 19 and 20. - That's crazy. - With 76. - These are like just a couple of foul tips with two strikes in the count. Like the fact that I'm staying alive there, wow. My turn? - Your turn. - Todd Helton. That's one of mine.

- Chris Cody continues his dominance here. Todd Helton, fifth on the list, 164 intentional walks. - I'm getting higher guys on the list. That's why he says I'm dominating. - Yeah, sure. - You're squeaking into this list. - Average depth of list, you're doing better, but we both have one strike. - I believe Chris Cody's gotten three, four, and five so far. - I might get this wrong, but. - So two's still on the board, huh? - Two is still on the board. - Wow, who could that be?

Larry Walker. Too early. Larry Walker is not on the list. That's going to be the second strike. I knew it. Jason Giambi. That is going to be another strike. Two strikes apiece. I didn't even have that written down. It just popped in my head. That's a good one. Yeah, that's a really good one, I would have thought. I'm pretty sure that was one of the first names off this list.

Adnan, the trade deadline is at the end of this month of July, and it looks like there are going to be a lot of teams in position to buy. So I will ask you this question. Who do you think will be the most aggressive buyer at the trade deadline? And as you look around the league, who's the name that you're looking at that you think may be the biggest name possible?

A lot of teams are buying, but not many teams are selling. So this is the downside of the extra wildcard is that more teams say to themselves, well, we're six games under 500, but we're only three games back of the wildcard spot. So then less teams are willing to punt on the season. So I think it's tricky to see which teams will be sellers. I look for guys like Bailey Falter, the Pirates. He's been great for them, really under the radar. Could be a really good pickup for a team who wants starting pitching. I'm curious about offense. Eugenio Suarez has been great for the D-backs.

Josh Naylor could be a name. I think the D-backs should punt. They're about as even as even as you get. They're a 500 team. They've been averaging the road, averaging on the road. To me, I'm like, if you sell some assets of pending free agents, guys like Zach Allen and Naylor and Suarez, you could get a lot for it. But I think Arizona says to themselves, well, we're only four games back to that third wildcard spot, and maybe they don't punt. But there's going to be lots more scuttlebutt in the next couple of weeks ahead. And this is the best part about baseball, right? Because you just told me in this episode both that

The Royals, who you predicted would go to the World Series, were the most disappointing team to you in June. And the Diamondbacks, who you predicted would go to the World Series, should sell at the deadline. And that's what makes baseball spectacular because you never know what's going to happen in a given season. But let's get to our golden era star of the week. I'm actually going to give you three names here, Adnan, all based off of what they did in June. So Garrett Crochet led Major League Baseball in strikeouts.

Zach Wheeler led Major League Baseball in ERA with, I believe, a .56 ERA in the month of June. And then there's the guy you just mentioned, Eugenio Suarez, who tied the big dumper for both home run lead and RBI lead in Major League Baseball in that month. Which of these three stars do you want to lock in on?

Crochet, I think, is a runner-up for the Cy Young to Scooble, and Suarez can bang with the best of them. But I'm going with Zach Wheeler. I met him last year. And as you know, Jeremy, when they're nice to us, we'll be nice to them forever. That's right. Zach told me he was a fan of my works, and I'm a fan of his work forever. Let's get this guy a Cy Young, man. He was a runner-up for the Cy Young a year ago to sale. He was a runner-up to Corbin Burns when he should have won. He throws more innings than anybody. He's an absolute horse for the Phillies.

He's a two-time Tommy. Remember after you had Tommy John on the Mets, everyone goes, don't touch this guy. He goes to the Phillies. He was absolute steel. Now he's on his second contract. He's still worth all the money. And you're right. He allowed a total of two earned runs and five June starts. He's absolutely spectacular. The thing I love about Wheeler is he just, he wants to,

finished what he starts. He struck out 10 in eight innings. Nobody does this anymore. He tossed six-hit ball, did not walk a single batter. I'm hoping this guy finally wins a Cy Young. According to the odds right now, he's runner-up to Paul Skeens right now in the National League. So let's hope Zach Wheeler, always a bridesmaid, never the bride. Hopefully he breaks through this year. I hope it's this year because it feels like Paul Skeens is going to win every single Cy Young moving forward. So hopefully Zach Wheeler can get his because he is beyond surprising.

for the horse that he is and the dominant horse that he is. But Adnan, thank you for your fifth appearance. We'll see if we can squeeze five more in in the second half of this Major League Baseball season, but it is time to get back to our game of trivia between myself and Chris. Oh, I'm between two names, and I'm not really confident in either one of them. Based off...

Carlos Beltran. Carlos Beltran is going to be Jeremy's third strike. That's such a shame because I want you to know he wasn't one of the two names I was thinking of. But because I wasn't confident in either of the other names and then I saw the Mets logo, I went, ah, let me go with that. If you say one of the two names that I have written down and you Chris Cody could walk it off here or we're going to go to overtime where it's just going to be a sudden death round. I have two names here that I feel like they both should be fine. It's like, which one do I want to go with?

Who had less around him in the last? Man, I actually have three names that I could have gone with. I'm not happy with myself. This is disappointing. I'm going to go Adam Dunn. Terrible guess. Adam Dunn is on the list. Chris Cody wins. Yeah! Who's number two? Lance Berkman? No, no. Give me a hint on number two. Yeah. Give us like a division. Division. You'll think of him NL East, but more so AL West. Hold on. Whoa.

He went to the AL West early in the 2000s. Just give us initials. We're not even close. Give us something else. I have no idea what you're talking about. Oh, Vlad. Oh, obviously. Oh, man. How did I not think of Vlad? You know why? It's because if I saw Expos. Yeah, you're right. I might have thought about it.

The names that you guys missed, the two spot was Vlad Guerrero. The six spot, you guys named a Carlos, but it was the wrong Carlos, Carlos Delgado. Classic. The biggest surprise on this list, number seven, Ichiro Suzuki. No, no, no. I was going to say Ichiro eventually. I didn't write it down, but I thought of him. I thought about him, but I was like, there's no way. He might have walked a lot, but no way intentional walk. That's what a different sport we were playing.

Jeremy, you mentioned him. You just didn't guess him. Lance Berkman, Ryan Howard, Brian Giles. Ryan Howard is an obvious one. Who do I have written down right underneath the Phillies? Chase Utley wasn't on there? Ryan Howard. Chase Utley was not. The final name that you guys missed was the 18th name on the list. Bobby Abreu.

Yeah. That's a good one. This was good. I like this. That's disappointing, but this is a great game. Taylor, you did a great job. After a rough stretch, two in a row for the kid. Don't let him get hot. Don't let me get hot. I won't let him get hot. Next week is going down. We'll be right back.

Jeremy, you know something about me, right? You know when I'm grilling outside and it's summertime, you know how I supplement my summertime? Of course I do. I make a Miller Time. Of course. That beautiful white can. Oh, when it's so hot outside, I just put it right to my forehead, right there. And I just roll it sometimes right on the forehead, cool my body down, and then I crack it open and...
