[@formulahank1250]

People confronting Samson for firing them has to become a regular segment

[@88til_inf]

@@formulahank1250 ASAP

[@Sam-nm8tx]

I admire you wanting to support the show but, highlighting the lives Samson destroyed is uncouth

[@88til_inf]

This interview sent me to the MOON 😂😂😂😂

[@joeypizza2761]

Samson was trying so hard to change the subject and it makes the reveal so much better lmao

[@fluxuation87]

as a long time Marlins fan that heard this story years ago, I'm so glad they did this interview! this was amazing

[@Dollarbill8001]

Top tier segment

[@cgwami]

Domonique’s genuine uncontrollable expression of joy/delight as Samson realizes the ball boy is actually going to confront him during this interview is priceless. Also, I love that the show has a “rejoiner” of Samson telling everyone who will listen that he loves to fire people in person because it gives him a chance to enlighten them with his sage career wisdom and provide them with life advice … and yet he never actually bothered to have a conversation with this dude (and save the money on the Samson bots/burners telling me that was only for people he directly supervised). Great reactions from Jess throughout the segment!

[@BassGuy03]

Easily one of the best segments I've ever seen when Dan has been on vacation.

[@donconnolly1]

Wow...Sampson really turned red when they brought the formerly fired ball boy on😂

[@skyeisthelimit309]

Samson is such a smug prick. You can see the smile and hear the joy in his voice of firing/trading people.

[@Gragoryg95]

Absolutely but what a fascinating look inside the corrupt mind of FO personal

[@mamba5334]

Pablo really does find out lol this was awesome!

[@BeyondTheGame]

David the “Pension Stealer” is crazy 😭

[@88til_inf]

“The turnover is crazy”

[@BeyondTheGame]

That Was Wild asf 😭

[@Dem1217]

Great job to everyone who did tge quick leg work to get the ballboy and Brad Penny on the show. This might be one of my favorite show From Lebatard Show.....Kudos to everyone. Brad Penny tortured Samson.!

[@jk5805]

This is what This show used to be all about. I love this for them

[@hawgs145]

Really needed Stu’s “Penny for your thoughts” today, but in all seriousness this has to be the greatest episode without Dan, incredible job today by the crew

[@waylonhastings]

Awesome vibes from Nick and Brad. This was fucking excellent y'all. Amazing job production team setting up this payoff!

[@justinprovo]

“Are you firing Nick AGAIN, right now?! 😂

[@88til_inf]

Killer of American Dreams 😂😂😂😂

[@Bruss813]

😂😂 Samson is actually showing shame

[@Kinglion87]

OMG. This was gold. Thank you guys.

[@rock9393]

Brad Penny needs his own weekly segment!!

[@chrisweidner4768]

“That sounds like something David would do.” Indeed.

[@kiwizzo]

This was absolute GOLD.

[@Adkb123]

I understand perfectly why he was fired. It’s a job kids would kill for and you can’t forget your place. That’s a life lesson. BUUUTTTT, it was still heartless. And David Sampson is the perfect example of why they say most CEOs/Presidents are sociopaths.

[@amybigbruda]

If only more employees could get this opportunity tp talk employers, america would change.

[@GSB_KD]

How do you puke off just lemonade but no one did eating like 35 hotdogs? Also hilarious bro moved him out the way to flex his belt😂😂he’s like stop puking I gotta take pictures

[@ismaelmedina2886]

The only way to make a Samson segment fun. Thank you pablo

[@kclayhumble2146]

Dominique does not like David Samson at all!!!! 😂😂😂

[@timgist6227]

Who does?? I am not a Fan of this Guy at all. Hope the Bat Boy and his Family are doing well.

[@AntonioGonzalez-nc8tq]

This was so hilarious! Expertly done

[@mescfish]

Get someone to look at you the way David Samson looks at Brad Penny. 🥰🥰🥰

[@millertime773]

No, Mr. Bat Boy. You don’t get to put my billion dollar company at risk for potential litigation and keep your job. 😂

[@luzzbuzz]

Samson has no soul.

[@IamDaShiznit]

Great interviews

[@robertlinzmeier]

"I do go alot I have alot of kids" "I havent been in awhile" ---Stugotz is strong in Brad Penny

[@seanquinn4787]

He diced Samson and it was fantastic

[@lennybeucler6575]

This is amazing.

[@brandyfernandocuenca7846]

Worst thing that ever happened to the Marlins,why cause Samson had no clue what he was doing and he's a shady person

[@kikovazquez7277]

Samson vividly demonstrates one of the qualities that so many top corporate executives share - an icy cold heart. Not concerned at all with anybody's health, only about the company's potential liabilities. Btw,, I believe I came close to drinking a gallon of milk within an hour when I was about 16. I had a summer job working in a summer camp kitchen, and more than once I'd take a break after completing my duties for a meal, and eat a whole large box of Oreos, and wash it down with at least a quart and a half of milk. Had I "tossed my cookies"" yeah, would have blamed it on the Oreos.

[@sayhibobbi]

I'm declaring your argument invalid based on the proven fact that David Samson does not possess a heart.

[@davidcieslinski2642]

Fantastic!

[@AngelRivera-hh1mr]

Bruh... going back and hearing the "Braaad!" is GOLD!

[@ronnierodriguez5388]

This was 30 minutes of gold 😂😭

[@wendalllee7061]

This is Hilarious 😂

[@OGringoshaman]

This is fucking gold! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@gabdex83]

You couldnt pay me to watch someone eat/drink till they throw up. Just unbelievably disgusting.

[@jk5805]

That is the most un-American sentence I have ever read.

[@gabdex83]

[@rapalbumdepot7648]

Billy @ 3:17 is the official face of Marlins fandom

[@CDx265]

This is why these guys are genius.

[@comedychrises]

The number one thing the ex-ball boy said, and that is extremely ironic given how off Samson was today at getting the joke, is that players just wanna goof around and laugh. These are basically fraternity guys in their 20s. And not really mean spirited way, but they just wanna shoot shit. Clubbies making literally just a few bucks will happily entertain for nothing and especially for cash. There is a power dynamic thing at play which is worth getting into maybe. The guy even referenced it when saying Samson was the big shot prez (which was probably true, especially back then). And Samson had no problem bossing players and staff around, although not in a "do this or your fired" kinda way. Should that kid have been fired? Hell no. If anything, Penny should've been reprimanded, but he was an away player then, so what are you gonna do. It's not like Dodgers personnel would do anything. And you wouldn't suspend a player for that anyway. But if the clubhouse attendant throws up for a players amusement, I feel like it's the player who needs to be disciplined, not the staff member, especially given the power dynamic. NBD really since this guy ended up working in the MLB for someone else.

[@brandonmaryland]

4:01 I thought he said watching me pee too😂😂😂

[@colonialstraits1069]

“People will do things for not a lot of money.” “The ball boys have a very difficult job and they work for tips.” There’s your problem, right there.

[@whowantstorunforpresident5531]

I love dunking on Samson as much as anybody and as pure entertainment, this segment was top notch. But real talk, the true villian in this story is Brad Penny, who was throwing the equivalent of a nickel in my pocket to an overgrown child, to humiliate himslef for Penny's own amusement. Even more pathetic is that 20 years later, this stunted man child hasn't found the self-respect to turn down another 'milk challenge' by Torre, the insigator.

[@Paul-vf2wl]

Joey Chestnut drank a gallon of milk in 13 seconds.

[@bradcoleman5003]

love you guys so much. I love the DLS entity so much even sans Dan and Stu. I grew up in Okeechobee where there isn’t shit (except for that of cows) and watching Florida Marlins games every night with Rich and Tommy on the call, seeing all of those God awful orange seats empty every night when there was still a hint of teal in the uniforms, was always the highlight of my day. I think back on that time glowingly. one of the first guys I think of is Brad Penny. so cool you guys got him for this crazy ass story.

[@jk5805]

Petition for Dan to stay in Africa until the NFL season starts. I love you Dan , and im sorry, but im not going to apologize for that.

[@allnightman27]

Can I blame the bat boy for bringing this to my attention?

[@joeypizza2761]

Also I really hope they find more excuses to have Brad on

[@LeoWhalen1933]

The Marlins fired their entire team after they won both world series so this shouldnt be a surprise

[@mars23air]

Awesome! 🗣️💨💨💨💨😤

[@arnaldocruz4058]

I can picture Penny standing over him watching him in the kitchen like a kgb officer

[@mcleanse1382]

Did Samson really not get those milk puns? Yikes.

[@canes4ever162]

The way David said Brad….

[@justanabsoluteunit]

one time with the red sox brad penny took a liner off the chest and made the throw to first for the out. i believe it was against the tigers.

[@ChaseJanicki-l8l]

@LeBatardShow I was also stiffed by @DavidPSamson after the 2003 World Series for a ring. I’d love to tell you that story. I was also a colleague of Nick’s!

[@grantgarlock]

I like how this show is basically strictly for crybabies now. Dan should probably bring Michele Tafoya back just to watch his crew burst into tears again lol!

[@RalphieAversa]

This is why KZbin was created.

[@calebfernandez7782]

I would think bandlands can chug a galon of milk and not throw up!

[@BipoCosmo]

I’m sitting in the hospital smashed bones head to toe. S(i)m(P)son getting confronted for firing a man out of jealousy. For firing a man for being “chummy” with the players in a way he envied - literally made the pain go away. Pablo find out who T-boned me and left me for dead 4:30.44pm Friday June 28th 2024.

[@vinnym1596]

David is out of his mind.

Cost the man his pension!

He needs to drink the milk while Sampson sits in front of him for the whole hour! Samson! Haha

BRAD!

Squirmin Samson 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@markk8194]

Does Dan still work there? Just asking for a friend.

[@markk8194]

so ask the union member players why they abused a ball boy.

[@markk8194]

who is at will.

[@markk8194]

are the employees on this show in a union? asking for a friend.

[@malebrix]

Tell your friend, Dan is on vacations and Pablo, Dom and David are hosting until Thursday and Friday is only Samson.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

​@@markk8194I don't think so.

Cliff notes version:I got a ring, u got paid, who cares about a bat boy. Update: Main character is out of the league & reduced 2 doin' podcasts...but hey, he can get u an autograph baseball,
