"Oh, excuse me for breathing." An alarm that we refuse to listen to is going off at The Elser, so we use it to our advantage and try to get a new "Fire Starter" take segment off the ground. Greg Cote's inner monologue makes an appearance before Mike Schur joins Jeremy on this week's edition of Pitch Clock to discuss what is going wrong with his Boston Red Sox early in the MLB season.

"Make no mistake. Everybody's rooting for everyone's failure in every atmosphere." We dissect Zaslow's terrible question to Dusty May, and David Samson tries to defend Zas, who admits he does not deserve it. It leads Zaslow to reveal the worst professional mistake of his career, and Greg Cote thinks Zas may have taken a half step back. But once David Samson's Inner Monologue makes its debut, this hour goes completely off the rails. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"You know bout that winning being better than losing?" Has Lamar Jackson lost a step? What about a half step? Did he previously gain a step? Would that mean he has not lost a step and a half? Plus, Dusty May joins the show fresh off winning a National Championship that he has yet to enjoy, and Zaslow asks him an all-time bad question. Learn more about your ad choices.

"There were a lot of people arguing Wilt. You know what happened Dan? They died." Dan has finally done it: he has proclaimed that Nikola Jokic is a better offensive player than Michael Jordan. Too bad nobody cares, because the only discourse surrounding the NBA right now is about tanking and the 65-game rule, which is driving Zaslow insane. Today's cast: Dan, Zaslow, Greg, Chris, Roy, Tony, Mike. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Rob Corddry makes everything he's in better. From grand Shakespearean aspirations to getting work playing all the douchebags you love to hate ("Hot Tub Time Machine", "Children's Hospital", "Ballers"), Rob is simply too funny to let Dan "The Grief Eater" Le Batard make this a downer episode. Instead, Dan and Rob share laughs, dive deep into Rob finding his dream job as a correspondent alongside Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," and the absurdity of Hollywood, keeping things refreshingly light. "The Audacity", starring Rob Corddry, Zach Galifianakis, Billy Magnussen, Sarah Goldberg, and Simon Helberg, premieres Sunday, April 12th at 9PM ET/PT on AMC and AMC+ Learn more about your ad choices.

"You see that? Willow's responding to the dog whistle."

"Playing with wood. Great title for an autobiography." Could the Celtics trade for Giannis? Could 62-year-old Walt Weiss beat up all of us? Could Greg break a tennis racket by throwing it into the ground? Could Michael Malone turn UNC around in a single year? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"Jerome Bettis..." Nick Wright demands an apology from Mike Ryan for a bet that is still 9 years away from being paid off. He also delivers eloquent takes on the NBA's need for Adam Silver's intervention, the three biggest storylines in basketball this season, Michael Malone's decision to choose college over the pros, and the show's popularity, but the crew is too distracted by Greg's breathing to react to any of it.
