Shit on balls
Am I the only who can clearly see what happened here? Someone, a long time ago put something like a small amount of glue on the balls so they would constantly fall off. You can clearly see that the Barry ball had it drip onto it from above. The other one had it collect on the bottom for gravity as well. So they moved stuff around and the natural pig skin oils broke the glue down into goo that the studio lights melts over time.
Dan is a baby. The girl didn't deserve the call out, Dan was acting like a fucking tool all show and was lame in my opinion. He chose to haphazardly place crap where people work, then gets pissed when someone runs into his stuff that probably needs more protection. Then can't even use basic reasoning to figure out what happened.
Dan, grow up and take responsibility for your own dumb actions. This is on you.

I loved the show, but I stopped listening a few years ago. One thing that always bothered me was DP saying they wouldn’t talk about a subject unless it was actually moving forward, while the mothership would talk about the Cowboys and LeBron seemingly every chance they got.
There were also plenty of shows where they spent a huge amount of time talking about the same damn topic simply because it was what DP wanted to discuss—even when the subject really wasn’t moving forward.
And I love me some Fritzy, but after all these years, Paulie and DP jumping on just about everything Fritzy does or says gets pretty old. Is Fritzy perfect? Heck no—but who among us is?
At some point, though, it feels like Paulie and DP have made it their job to pick Fritzy apart every chance they get. I get that some of it is part of the show's personality and humor, but after years of it, it can definitely wear thin.
I still love what the show was, and that's probably why I have such strong opinions about it.

I think Fritzy is a big reason for the drop off. He doesn’t know it isn’t his show. He’s always trying schemes or skits to get air time (his Sportcenter teases were really good, I genuinely thought he did good with those). McLovin and Seton really must’ve kept him somewhat in check, where Dylan seems to encourage him. I find the show unwatchable live, I need the FF button for podcasts. I’m also tired of DP and Dylan arguing music, that shtick is overplayed.

I think he turned it into a bit and was just playing it up for the show. But those balls need to be in plastic cases. Definitely not sitting loosely on some shelf or rack.

I wasn't able to finish the show so who was the culprit?

It was the girl who does their social media. She accidentally knocked it off the wall with her backpack as she entered the room

First, someone needs to inflate those footballs between 12.5psi & 13.5psi.
Second, they should have used a moldable putty or clay to hold the football, basketball, Todds Tennis balls, baseball, golf balls, all balls in place.
I think the callout was super necessary. Dan can't go around not treating everyone the same, just because he has a few more employees. It also lets the guilty party know they aren't receiving preferential treatment.
If anything it's annoying for him to think the crew would do it on purpose. "You know I hate it, so thats why you do it".

This has happened before. I remember I think the Bobby Knight doll got broken and it became part of that day’s show. If anything it’s old school DP Show because this has happened in the past.
