What are the opening housekeeping items and the meaning of “scot free”?
You are listening to the Dan Levatar Show in partnership with the DraftKings Sports app, now live in all 50 states.
This episode of the Dan Levitard Show is presented by DraftKings Sports. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
A couple of housekeeping items from the first hour and please put the uh Chinese girl who does the Rubik's Cube in four point four seconds uh in the picture in picture, please.
Let's just call her Asian. I'm a little worried about Greg's uh assumption.
Okay. Uh no,
she is she's from
China. I mean, yeah,
all right.
I am with I'm with Mike on this. I uh I believe that I should not trust you on this matter. Okay. In terms of the housekeeping items from the first hour, uh Jeremy, the phrase scot free, do we know why the phrase is scot free?
Yeah, pretty simple one. Scot used to mean tax back in old English. And so in turn, S C O T, not a double T. It has nothing to do with the Scots. Don't worry. We are not using a slur. It's also not Scotch.
Nobody was worried about that.
Well, that's the background when you Google it. I just
uh you know, we're worried about a few things. He's done that before where he's taken out an entire
Have you guys not realized that all of that is back now? They brought back the gator bait chant at Florida from twenty twenty that they banned right after George Floyd that had racist undertones and they just brought it back. Did you not realize that the country has shifted in the other direction? Yeah, we're great again. Uh thank you, uh, Greg. I see that on your computer, but I also saw it on our screen. I appreciate you interrupting what I was doing to show me uh the uh d yeah, but you're actively distracting me
as I'm trying to Well, I mean I I say the girl the Rubik's Cube girl is from China and you say no, it's As Asia. No, can't say China.
That's not what no, that's not what we were doing. We were just hedging our bets. It's an old man with the internet thing. You never know.
The other housekeeping item that I wanted to get to is uh the uh Tampa Bay Rays, my beloved Tampa Bay Rays. Uh they did something that I don't think many people care about, but in Yankee Stadium, Drew Rasmussen, who has been one of the top ten pitchers in baseball the last three years and no one seems to know it. I still get mows down the Yankees as if they're not in the batter's box, everything in the strike zone uh because he pitches is only in the strike zone, even though he walked a couple of guys last night. But every time I watch that team, they're ending a series and the announcers are saying, and in this series, the Rays have struck out twenty-seven batters and walked one. Uh there's nobody playing baseball except the Brewers, the way that they play baseball, where they've got
They got a shortstop in Walls who cannot hit. And so what he does is he bunts with a man on first, or a man on third, rather, and one out. He'll just bunt, even though everyone knows he can't hit and he's gonna bunt, and he bunts successfully instead of even bothering with the sacrifice fly to bring runners in from third, because they bunt more than any team in the league. What's their payroll, though, Jeremy? Because they take out the Yankees in Yankee Stadium. And one of the things that I find interesting about this baseball season. season? Almost most interesting says and I haven't felt what I'm about to say since Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire did what they did and everyone slapped their head when we said, Yeah, it's steroids.
It's it's fraudulent. It's not real. The fact that Otani and Judge are both hurt and everyone's reaction isn't, of course they're hurt. People that large can't play an entire season, and you can't ask one of them to hit and pitch all the time. The human body, no matter how strong a human body is, it can't sustain that kind of battering over a 162-game season. So of course, Judge can't use his upper body and the rays. Oh they're Oh,
they're way better than the
Yankees. And I think that they can beat the Yankees because Judge is unlikely to be himself this postseason. Because of course these two statues, they're majestic, majestic creatures.
