Baseball with Clayton Kershaw

the studio today. I wish I could say it was good news, but no, it's pretty dark, to be honest, and not funny dark like Lenny Bruce or or when a kid falls down. It's just it's just dark and full of despair. What's going on? Okay, I'll just say it. I got some results back from my doctor. Oh my god, Ron and I have an announcement. I have a cavity? What is wrong with you? And yes, of course I'm scared. I mean, why me? If it if it had to happen to anyone, why not Carolina? You know because I

brush my teeth. Excuse me, I brush my teeth. I'm not an animal. Well you have to brush twice a day, So do you brush twice a day? Okay, Carolina, A nice try. I wasn't born, do you mean you weren't born yesterday, because that's listen. I'm not trying to trick you. If you have to brush twice a day, when do you brush your teeth? When do I brush my teeth when everyone else does on holidays? You only brush your teeth on holidays, well, not all holidays, I mean Presents

Day isn't really a holiday, is it? So? So I brushed during Christmas or New Year's I put on some nice slacks, I brushed the mustache with my ivory comb, and I brushed my choppers. It's the holiday, so you want to do it up, and sometimes I forget. I'm not perfect. Doesn't the smell of your breath bother you? You mean the smell of rare steak and aged whiskey, no Carolina, That doesn't bother me, just like the smell of top ramen and cold brew coffee must not bother you.

Take it easy. Don't your teeth hurt? They felt fine, like normal teeth, with the texture of wool, And then out of nowhere, I felt a pain as sharp as zoos thunderbolt. So I went to the doctor. You went to your general doctor, yes, Then he referred me to a specialist you mean a dentist. Oh no, Carolina, are you? Are you a cabbage survivor as well? I wouldn't call myself a survivor, but yeah, what wicked webs we weave? I think we should move on. All right? What are

we doing today? If anything? Well, are definitely doing something today, and that's that's why we're here in the studio where you're actually interviewing Clayton Kershaw. Oh right, okay, today we have Clayton Kersha, the famous Croatian circus cloud. No, no, wait, I didn't how many Clayton Kershaws are there? And I'm talking about the Dodgers picture. Well, Carolina, I specifically asked you, and I think I asked you upwards of fifty thousand

times to get Clayton Kersha, the Croatian circus clown. He travels through Croatia in a wagon led by mules. And that's who you wanted to interview, the Croatian circus for the millionth time. Yes, I mean, does a baseball pitcher even know anything about Croatia? I'm not sure. I mean, maybe we just let's stay off the topic of Croatia. It might not make sense to ask about it. I know, but I when I think of Clayton Kersha, I'm gonna

think of Croatia. Just keep thinking about baseball, baseball questions. So he's a baseball player for who the last Angels Dodgers. Oh, yes, Clayton Kershaw. That Clayton Kersha. Oh he's outstanding. You're very familiar, very familiar. I can't wait to talk to him. In fact, we will talk to him right after these messages. And welcome back to the Ron Burgundy Podcast. We are very excited to have here in the studio with us from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Picture Clayton Kershaw. Clayton, welcome to

the podcast. Thanks for having me wrong appreciate it. Carolina. Are you excited to meet Clayton Kershaw. I'm so excited. I just learned about baseball and Ron walked me through a game. Clayton, you're a lefty. I'm a lefty. Were you always a lefty? Yes? The whole time, the whole time, whole time. Never you never thought about switching to write. I thought about it, but I just didn't work. It didn't work, could not work. Does that give you an upper hand? Um? You know there's less of us so

it's a little bit more unorthodox. So it definitely helps a little bit. For sure. The the left hander is very valuable in Major League Baseball. Yes, but there are no left added third baseman or catchers. Are you a lefty wrong? I'm a yeah, I right lefty. So you didn't play third base? I did? You did? That's why we lost every game that I couldn't make the throw across the diamond. You also read while you're on third base? I did. I would read. I'd have a paperback novel

my back because I got base. I mean, you have to. It's it's kind of a boring game if you're if you're not paying attention on the action, is you know, intermittent at best? Yeah, you're right. I want to write that. I'm glad I fit that word in intermitted. That was I have a word a day. I tried to fit into my language. You were saying ardently a lot. I said ardently times. Whether it's fit or not, it was very intermittent. Did you play last night? We did? Yeah,

we played? And who who did you guys? We played the Mets, New York Mets, and we won. I think the final school was eight to five. And were you at home or were you in New York? We were in l A. Ok, yes, we were home. And how are the Mets this year? Um, honestly, I don't know what the record is. I think they're okay because you don't care, right, you just play your game, Just play down there, and yeah, they're a good team. I think they'll be all right. Right, Yeah, what how many innings

did you throw through? Six? Things? I didn't throw very well? Wrong, I had a rough game. Really, Yeah, it wasn't super great. Well talk about thanks for asking? Yeah, no, it was good. We did win. The main point when you when you don't have a game that you feel great about, how were you able to just you just gotta forget about it? Right? Yeah, it's tough, you know, but as a starting pitcher, you play once every five days, so you got like four days to think about it and get back at it

that fifth day. So what's your advice to players whatever age? In high school, middle school, we have a rough day, exactly, Well, it's gonna happen. I think you know, everybody's gonna have their bad days in baseball, right, But I think more than anything, it's just about how you go about it. And then baseball is a lot about how you handle failure. You know, there's a lot of failure in baseball, so it's really important to be able to compartmentalize that. And

um go from there. And you have a son. So when your son gets older, Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna be super hard on him. I'm gonna keep the pressure, keep turn up the heat, let him know. Yeah. Yeah, he's got a lot to live up to. That's good. Yeah, I like that. No, I just I just want to have fun, you know. I just as long as he's loving baseball, he can play as long as he wants. But what if he's like dad, Sorry, I like Badminton. I like leather bound books. What if he enjoys be great.

In fact, I have some leather band books around here somewhere. I also have a loaf of bread. There it is. That's my lucky loaf of sour dough. There the listeners, there's a there's a giant loaf of sour dough bread. It's kind of like when a Laddin would bite into a sour dough in the cartoon. I don't remember that, Okay, sorry, scratch that, you know, Carolina, make it count Okay, we've got Clayton Kershaw in here. I brought the future Hall of Famer and you bring up a Laddin and the

bite into the bread and he's about to leave. You're not gonna leave right now? Okay, Well we'll get back to um. Let me ask you this question. What's the worst city to play baseball in? What's the place you hate the most? I don't know if I can answer that. Um, sure, go ahead, let me let me. I'll throw some names out and you can just either I'll not or Cleveland. It's it's not my favorite. Yeah, it's okay, rock and roll Hall of Fame. Yeah. Wait, you guys don't play

in Cleveland ever, do you? Very rarely? Milwaukee? I like Milwaukee sleeper city, sleeper um Albany? Is there a professional team in Albany? Never been all right? Ah, Miami, it's it's a fun city, right The team's not great right now? So the fan atmosphere lacks a little bit, like there's no one there, not a lot what would you say, like a thousand people in the stands. It feels like that,

it really does. Can you you guys can hear individual fans It is way worse when there's less people, because you can hear the youth sucks way more like way more. That's what I've heard. I heard. I heard someone was saying that professional ball players you can never acknowledge anything that the fans say to you. You're right, but because if you do, they'll know you can hear them. Yes, but sometimes you can't help it. Some of it's so

funny though, wrong. What's the weird? Well, some of them do their research, right, Like they know your wife's name, your kids names. Yeah, I mean, they know where you're born. You know, they know anything that Wikipedia has, they'll find it and say it. And you've got to give them a little credit. They've done their research. But you know, I just appreciate a good old you know, you suck, you know, I mean that's just yeah, it's good. You can't can't fight that, Just say thank you and move on.

You appreciate the fact that they're as tough of fans as you would want it. Dodger Stadium, exactly right, Yeah, I hope we give it give it right, yeah, give it back. You've you've won three Cy Young Awards? Is that correct? Correct? Who is Cy Young? Does anyone know? And then and and my research shows me. And so in two thousand eleven, you won Baseball's pitching Triple Crown. What what is that? Exactly? Wins, wins versus losses, E, R A, and U, strikeouts, strikeouts. So you were the

league leader in all three of those. And then that next year in did you just did you brag to everyone, all the other opposing players like triple Crown winner last year? Everybody I saw. I just kind of wrote it on my forehead. I mean, you've been described throughout your career as the best picture in baseball? Do you ever just scream that at people? Like if you can't get into you know, Chili's Friday Night, I'm sorry, Mr, Do you just scream at the hostess, I'm the best pitcher in baseball?

Absolutely great. You can't borrow that for Chilies, by the way, it's for Clayton. You can't just yell that. Well, I'm now going to say I know the best pitcher in baseball. You can see that, give me a booth. You know what I like about Chilies, though, is they don't play favorites. So you say that, well, yeah, and you're gonna wait fifteen minutes. Everybody cannot fault chilies for that. That's right, they don't they The only democracy laugh is chilies are Um.

Let me ask you this, what's it like to be a Dodger with all that baseball history. It's awesome, It's got to be. It's great. I love it. One of these storied franchises in base not on baseball, but all of sports. So cool when you put that uniform on, do you do you sometimes wet your pants? I do? Yeah, Okay, yeah, I mean it's so many cool people that have been part of the Dodgers. It's really special. I can think

of all of them, Burt hooting Um, who else? Ah, mostly Burt hooton all of them, Doug raw Um, I haven't heard of Doug Doug rawl Burt hooting Um book who wrong name? Sorry, No, I don't. Here's here's something that always drives me crazy. I don't think Sandy Kofax gets enough credit. Four no hitters, a perfect game, all this while being the first and last Jewish woman ever to pitch in the big leagues. Why is that overlooked? It should not be. I mean, no one brings that up.

Nobody There's there hasn't been a female pitcher in baseball before or since? And and this lady, have you ever seen a picture of like? I can't. I can't say that I have. You might want to just google that, Oh, check that out? Okay, Yeah, anyway, I just don't know why people don't make a bigger deal. I agree about the fact that you know, Sandra ko Fax amazing player, one of my favorites, even though I don't know what she looks. I couldn't pick her out of a lineup

if I had to. If if they said to me, Sandy Kofax is down the building, I'd be really nervous and I'd say, where is she? What sort of dressing? Sandy? Raise your hand? Now? Is it true that your your great uncle discovered the planet Pluto? Is very true? Yes, Clyde, Tomball, Clyde is he really was? He really pissed when they said Pluto wasn't a planet. He the family was sure. We've got a lot of you know, we have for those listeners. Clayton's great uncle was I assume an astronomer

or astrophysicists or something. Yeah, he discovered Pluto would be great if he's just an insurance silver and he just that. Yeah, I'm gonna call it Pluto. But he discovered Pluto did and then when they said it was not a planet, devastating to the my mom's maiden name Tomba family went crazy. Yes, I think it's mean to take it back. I think it is too. I mean what, yeah, who who gets the authority on planet naming or finding? You know, what's

the governing body that can take that away? I don't know. So they think that Pluto is just a ball of inert gas, don't laugh, run run you know where I get a ball of inner gas. After after I eat a chilies. I was waiting for that one. Good. Okay, got that joke in. That was good. Um. I mean when you retire, do you feel like you need to discover a planet? I would love to. I don't know. I feel like everything's I mean, when you're out of baseball, what is Clayton Kershaw? I think he's gonna do? Can

I can I maybe help you out with the podcast? Wrong? Oh my god, I would love it. I think all positions are Oh they're final. I could be an intern, non paid. You know what, worked your way up from the bottom, right, I'll pay to learn the craft of podcasting Roun constantly threads to replace me. So I'm just really need I won't take your job. I won't do that.

I won't do that. I gotta ask you this. So, Carolina, you may not know this, but the Dodgers are in the National League, yes, and the pictures in the National League have to hit with a sad sack American League. They don't have to hit what's called a designated hitter. What do you enjoy hitting as a picture? I love taking batting practice. Okay, so that's fun because you get to hit maybe a home run in batting practice and it's really fun. But then when it comes to the game, Yeah,

that's more difficult. It takes you out of your rhythm. Well, it's just it's hard and it's hard. Yeah. Hitting is like really hard, like the hardest thing to do in sports in my opinion. And I don't practice a lot um and it's you're facing guys that throw really hard and it's just hard. It's hard to do. The batting practice is fun. They throw it right there for you, right down Broadway, as they say, beautiful stadiums. You get

to be a kid again, no pressure. It's awesome. Do you ever yelled at the opposing picture like, hey, just come on, throw it. Throw easy and I'll throw easy on you. No, because then I have to throw easy to them, and that's no fun. I gave up a hit to a picture yesterday. Oh jeez, you get you get ribbed in the clubhouse for that. I told you how to rough game yesterday. Note for our listeners, the game reference by Clayton Kershaw took place in May, not

in the fall when this podcast is airing. Therefore, if there's any confusion, that's what happened. The game happened earlier in the season. Thank you for your patience. Good thank you. Jacob deGrom didn't he used to beautiful flowing locks of hair. He did, he can, and he cut it all off. I don't know why. I trust me. If you've got a luscious mane of hair, don't don't get rid of it, because once it's gone, there's a good chance it's never coming back. Sometimes it grows. I never cut my hair,

and it never grows. It's the same link all the time. It's a genetic imperfection. Oh my god, I was born with this head of hair. Yes, as a baby. Yes, that's so insane and the doctor was like, this is one gorgeous kid. Um. How many Dodger dogs have you had in one sitting? I've wanted to join the hot dog eating contest. I think I would do well, but I think two is probably the most I've had in one sitting. Did you ever want to meet Kobe Ashi,

the professional hot dog eater? That's amazing. He's what did he eat sixty or something like that? Yes, amazing, Caroline. How many hot dogs have you eaten today? In general? I've eaten three or four hot dogs. There's nothing. I don't know what it is about a dodge or dog. If you eat it fast enough, your body can't tell you your fault. And that's their slogan. You really do. Um. You know what. Sometimes I'll go to and all you can eat sushi and just sit there for six hours.

I can't kick you out. I put a do not disturb side at my table and they get pissed at me. It's pretty crazy, and I'll just point to their sign all it says all you can eat, not even a time limit. You know what, don't call yourself all you can eat. They've taken you out and you've been literally punching in the air, just dragged out by L A. P. D. But gosh, darnett if I didn't eat two th dollars with the sushi. Yeah, not great sushi, not great sushi, but you can't resist deal. And a lot of times

I'll go to the places with the be Health Code rating. Yeah, I don't know why, because they're happy to have me. They'll let me stay as long as they want. Um. The minor leagues. How many years were you in the minor leagues? Clayton too, Just two years. Yeah, that's pretty quick. Yeah, it was a little quick, Yeah, but it was. It was a good experience. I had fun. But the minor leagues, I mean it's it's you know, you're riding busses. Yeah, you're it's not glamorous and not glamorous. No, not good.

But you get to see some places you never see. Like have you ever been to Burlington, Iowa? I love it? Okay, well most people I say that I've got I've got a summer place there right on the lake. Burlington has a lake, doesn't Well, maybe it's a reservoir, the man made lakes. Maybe it's somewhere completely different, could be, could be but it's it's a good time. You get to hang out. And Burlington, I what were some of the

other cities, Clinton, A lot of places in Iowa. Shockingly, um, Appleton, Wisconsin. This is the Midwest League. And would this have been uh single A double this was? This was single A and and then the other league was called the Southern League. And so I went to places like Jackson, Mississippi, Sebulon, North Carolina. Um, yeah, just and just You're staying in motels and yeah, you get what with a roommate, you share a room forty bucks a day for meal money,

for meal money. They might it might have pushed up, but it was twenty. So you're in a lot of subway sandwiches and yeah subway actually, yes, all the time. Wow, anytime during that stent, we're like this blows. Yeah, for sure, for sure a lot. But that's why you try to go fast get out of there. Did you ever set a timetable? In other words, if if it's five years and I'm still a double A, forget it, hang it up, I'll go. Well, so I don't go to be a

substitute school teacher? Yeah, I see, I would have need school for that, which would have been a problem because I didn't. I didn't. You went straight out of high school. I didn't go to college, so that was kind of my Hey, I've got four years. I would have been in college. So I got four years and then I would have had to think about some things probably, but thank god it worked out. It did work out. Scouted,

how old were you when you started getting scouted? High school? Yeah, but you were like a senior, junior, senior, and you get a choice. We probably were being offered college scholarships. I didn't have some. I could have gone to college. I was actually gonna go to Texas A and M University, and then you just decided, let's just go for it. Yeah. I decided, Yeah, why not. I want to play baseball. I didn't want to go to school. Yeah, I just did it the whole time. Though. You were still going

to night school, right, yeah, still doing that. But to to study to become a dermatologist, you don't have to go to college for that. I don't think so. No, I think it's the one medical fieldlogist. My dermatologist never went to school. I know he In fact, he a double a baseball. Yeah. He was a catcher and you have a huge mole. Yeah, I have. I have a mole on the back of my neck. I think he referred to it as a home run. I also have

a cavity. We have to let that one go. It's not as bad as you and and my dentist was also a former minor league ball player, so life is funny that way. Do you have a good dermatologist? Do you need one? You should see My guy sounds good oddly enough. You know what his name is, Sandy. He's a guy though, he's a guy. Okay, okay, which is a weird name for a guy. Um, do you ever get jocketch. I'm just gonna cut to the chase. I've learned. I've learned my lesson. Yeah, um, yeah, you have the

baby powder is a must. I once got jocketch right, and then I made the mistake of scratching my eyes and I had jocketch all in my eyes. Oh my god, chockic in my eyeballs. Never heard of that. But then I went to eat all you can eat sushi. It was a hell of a weekend, Oh my god. In fact, that was one of the places that had an A rating. And they're like, thanks to you, Mr Burgundy, we've gotta be rating. We've got jockeys all in our sushi. But you've heard that phrase, I got jockey itch all up

in my sushi. I don't think I think that's a bad situation. I feel like I heard it in a hip hop song. That's something that's new in baseball. Everyone has a play on like, so when you go to the plate, a walk up. So what are your thoughts? What are your thoughts? I'm more of a purist. I just like a little organ music, maybe a little organ Casey in the Sunshine band, Dent d d d Dan Dan Dan Dan Dan Dan. That's the way I like it. Uh, take me out to the ball game. And that's about it.

But now there's all everyone's got a song. It's a it's a it's a bit of a thing. Do you guys change their song if they're slump? Okay, it's a it's a whole ordeal. Yeah yeah. Do you have any good luck? Ritual it's a very ritualistic game. Yes, you probably have a hole. You don't want to share them? Well, you don't have to talk about it, Okay, I've worn the same glove for a long time. Yeah, that's no big deal. Like ten years it's yeah, not a big deal. Like do I wear like my same underwear like all

that stuff? Oh? You do? I do? I mean I wash them. But I've warned the same ones for a while when I pitched you do that, I war the same underwear washed. I only have three pair of underwear we got for your birthday and they're not lucky yet. What's the craziest superstition you've heard of? Any of your teammates? You don't have to say who? Let me think here? Um well, actually you know the craziest guy. I can say a name here because they're okay with it. Yes,

he's retired, Um no more. Yeah, I played with No Maar. And the amount of stuff that he did with his batting gloves and his bad and he had that it was a whole thing. I mean, how do you remember all that? It's amazing. He probably just naturally does it. Just twitched all the time. Yeah, I mean it was. It was amazing. I don't sleep well at night, partly because I get up every fifteen minutes, circle three times and go back to the bed every fifteen minutes. That's

my ritual. That's tough. To help me have a good night's sleep, but it really backfires. Yeah. Yeah, baseball is a lot of guys do weird stuff, Yes, no doubt. Does Ellen your wife ever say okay Clayton cut it out? Yeah, yeah she does. Yeah. I mean I think since I've had kids, I've probably toned down my because when I used to pitch, like when I on my start days, I used to not be like a very pleasant person to be around, just kind of like super serious. Now

with kids, they don't let that happen. So it's been it's been better, but still a little bit. So. Yeah, you let the kids know daddy's got to work. Yeah, they know. I mean, yeah, I try to be better, but they know, get your hands off my pitcha glove. I'm your father, Clayton Kershaw. You know I haven't said that to him yet. Okay, Yeah, Well to their own, Yeah,

to teach their own. Before you go in to deliver the news, what do you tell Walter, Well, I tell everyone on the news team, don't forget I'm Ron Burgundy and you're not have a great show. That's yeah, it's not really wishing them well, but no, but it just sets the tone. Do you ever say to your your do you ever gather up the team before and and say, guys, if you make an air, I'm gonna punch you in the nutsack um. I haven't tried that method before. I don't know if fear is the best thing for guys

playing behind you. Do you say that to your news team? Like if they mess up? If they mess uh, they don't, I say, guys, don't mess up, you know you'll be in the dog ours with me. And if I mess up, I don't want to hear about it. That seems wildly unfair. Well, I've got the I've got the juice. You know they don't yea, So now they don't really like me that much they want to hang around with me. But I

think we deliver a great product. I would agree. What is behind the superstition of when a picture is throwing a no hitter, the team will not talk to that picture. And when is that determination made? Right around the fifth inning? Sixth inning? Yeah, I would say fifth or sixth inning. It's probably fair at that point. And then I don't know when that started, like you just kind of let them have their own space and the dugout. I don't know when that starts. It's it's a little bit freaky

because you see the guy just sitting there. You don't you don't want to mess with him. If I was on your team, I would be like, Clayton, how are you doing? Do you need? Do you want like a hot dog? Hot dog, old towel or anything? Can I give you a shoulder rub? You'd probably punched me. Yeah, I mean, intentions are good there, but I think if you're the guy that talked to him and then he gave up a hit, you're that guy. It's not his fault, it's your fault. Wow. Yeah, I have to cut two.

I love you and your wife have been together since you were Yeah, that's a beautiful thing. That's a beautiful thing. So did you go to prom together? We went to prom together? Yeah? She went to college though. What was the hit song at prom? Do you remember? I don't really might have been Backstreet? Yeah maybe yeah, maybe, or like Christina Aguilera possibly something in there. Yeah. And how did you ask her out? When you're fifteen? Passing period?

Like after one class, so that way you only have five minutes so you don't have to like talk around with small talk after Hey, you want to go out. Okay, cool, I gotta go to class. And then did you say, Hi, I'm Clayton Kershaw. I'm one day going to be a dominant pitcher in Major League Ill would you like to go on a date? I didn't know that at the time. Okay, that would have been a very That's true. That's true, and the rest is history. That's it. She stuck around.

Maybe I'll go back to high school. It's never too late. I mean. Well, on that note, Clayton Kershaw, we cannot thank you enough for such a pleasure for joining us here in the studio. We wish you the best of luck for the rest of the season. And boy, I just can't wait to come to a Dodger game and heckle you this information. I have so much information now to specifically ask you about. I can't wait. I can't wait. Thanks so much. Remember when you were in Burlington, Iowa. Yeah,

that'll be one of the heckles. It won't be It'll just be questions. It will just be a lot of questions. Yeah, yeah, right, it will be impolite. Okay, Clayton Kershaw, thanks again, We really appreciate it. Right back on the Ron Burgundy podcast, And we are back here on the Ron Burgundy Podcast. What a light Clayton Kershaw turned out to be? And dare I say a Wonka Wonka come again? Hubba hubbay

goga Google. Handsome baby, that's a little much. I mean, gave me a sweet tooth, if you know what I mean? Kind of right? I mean, Carolina, he's handsome, he's he's a Yeah, he's a handsome human. We gotta take it easy, No, I'm saying for you. Yeah, I mean he's very happily married. His wife is lovely. Allen, still right, you gotta layoff this. I'm just saying. Who it was hard for me to not get lost in those dreamy eyes. Is you had dried up drool on the corner of your mouth? Did

I interview? That's embarrassing. You got to give me a signal next time. Well, kept on refreshing. Did I get those little white spit corners that Donald Trump develops after he's snorted too much? Adderall? Yeah, exactly? Okay, Well, okay, what's wrong? What are you thinking about? No, I'm just starting to think about my cavity again. Should I tell my friends? I mean, I don't want people to worry.

I promised you nobody will worry. I'll need you to pick me up from the surgery, of course, and bring crutches. It's not like that. I don't know what information you have is. It's not like I need the crutches necessarily to walk. I just need people to know, Oh, he's had surgery. Stay away from me. Creates like a force field around here. You'll be completely fine. How will my sight be after the procedure? Is there a chance I

will lose my sight? No, you will have the same exact Well, that's a relief in fact in some instances. I wonder if when you get cavity surgery does your does your vision get better? I've never heard of this, like when you hit your head and you've all of a sudden learned a foreign language. Again, never heard of that happening. I might vision perhaps well, oh Ron, before I forget. Yes, we spoke multiple times about Clayton's game

last night with the Mets. Right. This podcast will be airing in the fall, So maybe we just I'm so stupid. Not that's not necessary. Maybe we just you can seamlessly stupid and the stupidest man on planet Earth. I hate when I do that, so I'll fix it. Yeah, I know exactly what to do. Are you sure you don't want me to? I know a seamless way to fix it. Okay, Well, no offense to the Dodge's picture. But next week in

the studio we will have Croatian clown Clayton Kersha. It's going to scare all the little children into brushing my teeth. You're gonna have a little army of children that brush your teeth. Yes, well, you said I needed to brush my teeth more. Is that easier than brushing your own teeth? It's just something I won't have to child labor. It's

not child labor. Just some children coming over your house in morning and at night on a regular cycle to brush my teeth because they want to do it, because they know the ramifications of the Croatian clown showing up in their closet while they sleep. If they don't perform their task, terrible, terrible myth to spread to children. Is it more terrible to have a mouth rotting with tooth the cay? No, your honor, I rest my case, Thank you, No, that was law and order. We'll see you next time
