The Big Suey: Can I Ask a Question Without Being Called Sexist?

[0] You're listening to Draft King's Network.

[1] Now's a good time to remember where the story of tequila started.

[2] In 1795, the first tequila distillery was opened by the Cuervo family.

[3] And 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong.

[4] Family owned from the start, same family, same land.

[5] Now's a good time to enjoy Cuervo.

[6] The tequila that invented tequila.

[7] Go to Quervo .com to shop tequila or visit a store near you.

[8] Quervo, now's a good time.

[13] Please drink responsibly.

[14] Welcome to the Big Suey.

[15] Presented by Draft Kings.

[16] Why are you listening to this show?

[17] The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast.

[18] I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.

[19] In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.

[20] I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there.

[21] That hasn't happened to you guys?

[22] I've done it.

[23] And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.

[24] We're going to get to Stugats' weekend observations in just a second, a day late.

[25] But this is from your boy, Jimmy Treana, who writes, whoa, whoa, whoa, huge NFL Sunday ticket news.

[26] YouTube TV and YouTube users will be able to build custom two, three, or four game multi -view panels, a function that YouTube tested last season.

[27] So I told you earlier that if you were to buy it through the Apple app, you would have to pay between $680 and $720, which is $300 more, Stugats, if you want all the Sunday football.

[28] That's steep, and you'd be making a mistake, obviously.

[29] You can still get it by half that price in a bunch of other places, but we're headed toward a place where football is going to be so expensive and all this streaming is going to be so expensive that you're going to price out a huge number of fans.

[30] You can't you can't keep throwing these multi -hundred dollar fees at people, Stugat's.

[31] Like, it's not, people are struggling too much today with inflation and with a cup of coffee costing you $7.

[32] You can't keep hitting people just because you've found new oil streams for your sports services with all of these fees that are going to make it so that a class of people cannot watch all your games.

[33] I mean, you can do it.

[34] They are doing it.

[35] It's up to people to budget.

[36] How important is watching the NFL on Sunday to people and their families.

[37] So it's going to be interesting.

[38] See, I understand what you're saying.

[39] You're going to lose some fans.

[40] I don't think the NFL cares.

[41] If they don't have as many eyeballs, they're raking in the cash.

[42] I mean, from multiple platforms.

[43] That price tag, if you're somebody who works at or around minimum wage, it's your entire salary.

[44] And all this is coming on the heels of the NFL losing an antitrust litigation suit for $4 million, which was overturned, by the way.

[45] So all down the heels of that, now $4 billion with a B with an ambit.

[46] You always have the CBS game of the week, Roy, and then Fox.

[47] They're free.

[48] We can't go back at this point.

[49] We're all too addicted to it.

[50] Let's do Stugats' Weekend Observations, please.

[51] It is time for Stugats to share his game notes.

[52] No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy, Stu.

[53] Weekend observations, brought to you by Miller Light.

[54] Great taste.

[55] Just 96 calories available for delivery.

[56] Dan?

[57] Rather than focus on what we don't have, I'd rather focus on what we do have.

[58] And what we do have is Florida State and Georgia Tech from Dublin.

[59] A sneaky good Montana State team on the road at New Mexico.

[60] I like the Bobcats.

[61] And the grand finale at 12 midnight, the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors at home.

[62] And Dan, just like that, make no mistake about it.

[63] College football is back.

[64] It's right now.

[65] Oh, I mean, a couple days.

[66] It's upon us?

[67] It's this week?

[68] Yes.

[69] It's here?

[70] Yeah.

[71] Midnight Hawaii, man. That's how you kick it off.

[72] Nothing says Ireland like Atlanta, Georgia.

[73] Top five athletes or people in sports that can note Ireland.

[74] O 'LI.

[75] Al McGuinness.

[76] Mike Flanagan.

[77] Chris Ivory.

[78] Ray Shepard.

[79] E. number five Ryan Leif number four Andrew Luck number three Jeff Ireland number two Antoine Jameson is it Ton or Twan Jameson Westin you heard of it Antoine yes I've heard of it Number one Ken Shamrock Keep an eye on the Brewers Whether I'm up or down this week By Saturday, everything.

[80] And I mean everything.

[81] He's going on Hawaii.

[82] You got it.

[83] 37 and a half -point favorites at home.

[84] Can't wait.

[85] And it's just you wake up in the morning and find out whether you won your better.

[86] I've never watched a Hawaii game.

[87] The Brewers are 11 games up.

[88] What are keeping an eye on?

[89] They've clenched the division practically.

[90] They've got to get hot.

[91] Brew crew.

[92] Y 'all it's out for the year, huh, Stu?

[93] Yelly.

[94] Did you know that?

[95] I didn't.

[96] But they've won five straight without him, which begs the question, are they better without him?

[97] Does beg that question.

[98] It does beg that question.

[99] What are you going to do?

[100] What are you going to do?

[101] You're going to beg to hear that question?

[102] Pretty pleased.

[103] The Mariners became the first team in Major League Baseball history to have six players whose last name starts with an R. Score a run in a game.

[104] They did it against the pirates.

[105] ARG Oh, you've got applause from Jeremy I mean What?

[106] Not the applause I wanted But I'll take it Sometimes you need a friend Any friend Right Chris you did great yesterday NBA memes Posting That Nicola Jokic Pass Michael Jordan For the highest box Plus minus of all time Hey NBA memes The only box you need is one where you throw Jokic's rings in and another one where you throw Michael's rings in and tell me who has more.

[107] Jokic, minus five.

[108] You know what the J and Jokic stands for, Dan?

[109] I do not.

[110] Not Jordan.

[111] You know what the N and Nicola stands for?

[112] Not Jordan.

[113] Not even close.

[114] It's a good guess, though, man. Thank you.

[115] Football isn't back until Mitchell Trabiski is on a field somewhere doing what he does best.

[116] Throwing interceptions.

[117] Hey, Mahomes.

[118] Do it in a big spot.

[119] I dare you.

[120] Enough with the no -look pass.

[121] I mean, enough.

[122] Seriously, we're making a big deal with an eight -yard gain and a pre -season game against the other team's number twos.

[123] Oh, thank you, man. Stu got a minor penalty, two minutes for Chiefs Talk.

[124] I'm in the middle, though.

[125] It's a delayed penalty.

[126] All right.

[127] It's a delayed penalty.

[128] We have the puck right now.

[129] That's your man. How about you look at the guy that you're passing it, too?

[130] How's that sound?

[131] Stugat's minor penalty, two minutes for Chiefs Talk.

[132] Oh, double minor.

[133] Delayed four minutes?

[134] Yes.

[135] Damn.

[136] The WWE gave Kevin Durant a belt of fanatics fest.

[137] Making it the third time, Kevin Durant was given a championship.

[138] He didn't win.

[139] Stugat's Book .com.

[140] Mack Jones is a Jaguar.

[141] Trevor Lawrence, look straight ahead.

[142] Chelsea, the Rare Club.

[143] the more money they spend, the worst they get.

[144] Jim Harbaugh going through pre -game warm -ups with receiver gloves on.

[145] I love him.

[146] He's so great.

[147] I don't care if he does it with a single game.

[148] He's awesome.

[149] So ridiculous.

[150] Receiver gloves.

[151] It is.

[152] It's just what would happen if an NFL team was run by a lunatic?

[153] Let's find out together.

[154] Fourth quarter, Stetson Bennett would be one of the best.

[155] quarterbacks in the NFL, but only fourth quarter, Stetson Bennett.

[156] Teams should have that, like a closer in baseball.

[157] A quarterback who only comes in for late game situations.

[158] Dolphins had this a few years ago with Ryan Fitzpatrick.

[159] Well, think about this.

[160] Drive for your life.

[161] Tua, or a fully rested Tom Brady.

[162] Drive for your life.

[163] Tom Brady's on the sidelines.

[164] He's 42 years old.

[165] His body is rested.

[166] 45.

[167] Whatever he is.

[168] Tua has play three quarters.

[169] He's in.

[170] exhausted Brady on the sideline dissecting that defense the entire time you call him in for the final drive have a bad I kind of like it I have actually kind of maybe in on this idea call Peyton Manning out of retirement see if he wants to be somebody's fourth quarter quarterback yeah he's 47 I mean you'd still take Brady right with three quarters rest over two a drive for your life for your life for your life no it's when you hit the four your life the third time like then you really push me to the precipice of thinking, would I give my life to this?

[171] What would I feel better about as the bet?

[172] Not as a silly, stupid sports conversation, but just for my life.

[173] I think I have to give it to Brady just because he's already sold his soul to the devil for all of the fortune that has come his way.

[174] So perhaps he's got some secret deal he can make on my behalf.

[175] They're talking about you guys right now on Get Up.

[176] Really?

[177] I mean, it's just the Flores to a thing.

[178] It's crediting our show.

[179] You think you're right?

[180] Is it you in the middle with your shorts?

[181] No, they're not showing it.

[182] It's more just the topic bar, but they're talking about us.

[183] Does it say with Stugatz or just the Levitarch show?

[184] Because I saw that a few times yesterday.

[185] I see Stugats' name there.

[186] Oddly, I get it here a lot, too.

[187] Sorry.

[188] Broncos still have it named Bo Nix as their starter.

[189] If they won't name them, I will.

[190] He's their starter.

[191] Thank you, Denver.

[192] I appreciate the opportunity.

[193] He's starting.

[194] He's starting.

[195] Yeah, he probably is.

[196] The big secret.

[197] He's good, then.

[198] Commanders also named their starting quarterback as well.

[199] Daniels is going to start for them.

[200] Right.

[201] That's crazy.

[202] Did anyone think he wasn't going to start?

[203] Well, but I mean, it's still crazy, though, that we're going back to that model now.

[204] Just play him right away.

[205] That is crazy.

[206] I mean, Rogers waited, what, two years?

[207] Mahomes waited.

[208] Yeah, a year for Mahomes.

[209] Did Marino wait?

[210] No. If you try to go for a double and get thrown at a second, it shouldn't count as a hit.

[211] It's an extension of the play.

[212] But he touched first base.

[213] That makes it a single.

[214] Yeah, but he got greedy and went for two.

[215] So should you not get a single if you get thrown out stealing second?

[216] Listen, my observations.

[217] What about a triple?

[218] Should it not be a double?

[219] What?

[220] If you get thrown out at a third?

[221] Yes.

[222] Yeah, no hit.

[223] No hit at all!

[224] Yeah.

[225] what's the problem you have to end up at the base safely at the end of the transaction you have to be safe at a base according to the ball comes off your bad the play ends with you being out you're out you're out it's an out thank you Billy should a walk be a hit no walks a walk no walks a walk that's four balls right there stupid to me you sound ridiculous what's the matter with you you didn't do anything you just sat there with a bat on your shoulder does a home run count because you end up back at the same place that you started from.

[226] But you're safe.

[227] But there's no hour.

[228] And there's a run.

[229] Well, the umpire rarely makes the safe sign at the end of a home run.

[230] Yeah.

[231] They should.

[232] Yeah.

[233] Well, they made the trolley sign.

[234] Yeah, but the twirley sign is irrelevant if you miss home plate.

[235] It's premature.

[236] Goose Crowder.

[237] Name the starting quarterback at Troy.

[238] Goose.

[239] Great name.

[240] Top five people in.

[241] sports that canote a call sign from a Top Gun movie.

[242] Number five, Chipper Jones.

[243] Number four, Hollywood Brown.

[244] Number three, Goose Crowder.

[245] Number two, Mav Carter.

[246] And number one, George Gervin, the Iceman.

[247] Goose Gossage.

[248] My list.

[249] Okay.

[250] Why Chipper Jones?

[251] Was there a chipper and top gun down?

[252] There was a chipper.

[253] Yeah.

[254] I don't remember a chipper and a pilot.

[255] It was a Hollywood.

[256] There was a goose.

[257] There was a Maverick.

[258] It was an iceman.

[259] Do you have a movie, Dan, that, like, resonates that much with you, that you make references to it constantly?

[260] No. Well, he's only got that point break in Rocky.

[261] It's only.

[262] Tango and Cash.

[263] Well, it's been a while for Tango and Cash.

[264] He hasn't mentioned that.

[265] Don't leave out Rocky 4.

[266] Yeah, all the Rockies.

[267] Is Casino in there, too?

[268] No, not Rocky 5.

[269] No. I don't like Casino.

[270] Long.

[271] You didn't like.

[272] Oh, sorry, Clams Casino is what Stugat's like.

[273] Oh, the best.

[274] My bad.

[275] Little League Classic.

[276] Great for the game.

[277] Also, pay the teachers and save the whales.

[278] Tired of that.

[279] When they said the Yankees and Tigers were playing at a Little League Stadium, I just assumed they were talking about Yankee Stadium.

[280] Short porch, Dana.

[281] Short porch, yeah.

[282] This is going to sound impossible, but I feel like, We're not talking enough about Caitlin Clark.

[283] I mean, she's incredible.

[284] I mean, she might be the greatest basketball player outside of Michael Jordan I've ever seen.

[285] She's great.

[286] Yeah.

[287] You took the take, like, one step too far.

[288] My dad, you went flying by.

[289] You're right, you're right, you're right, I apologize.

[290] But my dad, he was over the house, and he has never asked me to sit down and watch a WMBA game, and he did.

[291] This past weekend, he did.

[292] He wanted to, I didn't watch, to be honest with you.

[293] I went out, played a few holes, had a couple of heaters.

[294] He was watching the game.

[295] That's not what we're objected to.

[296] It's still early, though, on Caitlin.

[297] She could pass Michael, right?

[298] Yeah.

[299] What?

[300] It's still early.

[301] His first rookie year, Dan.

[302] Seven rings to go.

[303] What?

[304] Well, she hasn't even played it.

[305] There hasn't been an opportunity to win a ring yet.

[306] Stugats has not ever acknowledged that anyone could ever pass Michael Jordan under any scenario real or imagined.

[307] Can I ask a question without being called a sex?

[308] No. Gary Start, but go ahead.

[309] I guess we'll find out.

[310] Can we change the court for the Indiana fever?

[311] Oh, I hate their courts.

[312] Oh, it's so ugly.

[313] The same as like the Nets court.

[314] It's just like, desaturated.

[315] What I think of Daniel Jones, the first thing I think of is him chasing down a defender after an interception.

[316] By the way, Billy, that was sexist.

[317] When Caleb Williams' career is done, they should build a staff.

[318] you for Bryce Young outside of Soldier Field for being so bad it allowed Chicago to draft Caleb Williams.

[319] Congratulations to the Bears for being bad at the exact right time.

[320] The Jets would have drafted Drake May. Xavier Worthy.

[321] Jesus Christ.

[322] Skip cookies there, Chris.

[323] Daryl House Ducet, quarterback of the U .S. national flag football team called it disrespectful to assume NFL players will take Olympic team spots when the sport debuts at the 2028 Los Angeles games.

[324] Hey, Housh, I got news for you.

[325] If Patrick Mahomes wants your spot, he's getting your spot.

[326] You agree?

[327] Yes.

[328] I understand what he's saying.

[329] It's unfair.

[330] This is my lane.

[331] I'm the flag football guy.

[332] But if Mahomes wants to play, he plays, right?

[333] We all want it.

[334] I mean, who cares about Housh?

[335] Yes, more Mahomes is good.

[336] Everyone would like more Mahomes, yes.

[337] Except for Housh.

[338] Except for Housh.

[339] Right.

[340] Death, taxes, and Mackay Bechtin getting hurt.

[341] Also, he's an eagle.

[342] Their problem now.

[343] Report.

[344] John Rom is experiencing deep regret over his move to live.

[345] You know what they say, Dan?

[346] Money isn't everything.

[347] I didn't say it, but they do.

[348] I told you this about Rom.

[349] I told you this a while.

[350] ago.

[351] Yes, you did.

[352] I did.

[353] Thank you.

[354] He's haunted, man. Every week with this guy.

[355] You got paid $350 million.

[356] You made your bed.

[357] Now laying it.

[358] And rubbed million dollars all over your nipples.

[359] I don't think there are any million dollar bills.

[360] There should be.

[361] There's something sad about watching preseason football.

[362] Every morning, I try to get the bank to give me one.

[363] I just go by the million dollar bill.

[364] Have you guys made the million dollar bills yet for me?

[365] There is something sad about watching preseason football.

[366] I mean, I watch it anyway, but it never brings me joy.

[367] I've never smiled while watching a preseason football game.

[368] Unless someone else off to the side makes me laugh.

[369] No, Randy McMichael, jumping from the 10 -yard line as the tight end fourth round pick 25 years ago.

[370] I smiled in a press box during a preseason game.

[371] Joe Flacco is a cult.

[372] Blake Snell has a one -year.

[373] 103 ERA, his last eight starts.

[374] He's scorching.

[375] You know what they call him, Dan?

[376] I do not.

[377] Second half Snell.

[378] Over that stretch, he has 70 strikeouts.

[379] You know what the S &Snell stands for, right, Dan?

[380] Strikeouts?

[381] Good guess, but no. It stands for second half Snell.

[382] I tried to tell you.

[383] I tried to warn you.

[384] You did try to.

[385] Yeah, just five seconds ago.

[386] Yeah, you tried to tell me. I keep having this nightmare that Sam Darnold is going to be great in Minnesota.

[387] Sean McVeigh, letting an assistant be the head coach for a preseason game so he could take the day off.

[388] Sean, the Stugats, is strong in you.

[389] Cowboys kicker, Brandon Aubrey, made a 66 -yard field goal, and next -gen stats says it would have been good from 72.

[390] What the hell?

[391] Speaking of hell, Arp Riles.

[392] Dan, those are the weekend.

[393] Observations.

[394] Four minutes.

[395] Stu Got's minor penalty, two minutes for Chiefs Talk.

[396] Listen up, folks.

[397] The college football landscape has changed a lot.

[398] NIL deal, social media, the transfer portal.

[399] There's never been more distractions for an athlete.

[400] But Powerade knows what's important.

[401] The commitment to the game.

[402] The game is what matters.

[403] With 50 % more electrolytes than Gatorade Thirst Quencher, Powerade hydrates athletes as they block out the noise and put in the work.

[404] Hydrate your grind with PowerAid.

[405] Grab a pack today on Amazon or at a store near you.

[406] See product label for additional details.

[407] It takes more.

[408] Don Libetard.

[409] And I feel like Rebecca, I can't pronounce her last name, but she's a great Jim.

[410] Androgy.

[411] Androgy.

[412] That's why you're good, man. I got to tell you.

[413] I feel like her jumps, her vaults were better.

[414] She stuck the landing on both.

[415] She should have won the goal.

[416] The only reason she didn't is because her name is not Simone.

[417] Miles, your thoughts?

[418] Stugats.

[419] No. This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats.

[420] If you have been listening for a while here, you have heard me say some version of when it comes to politics, I believe all the sides are purchased, that corruption is something that is more rampant government all across the board, no matter where it is that you position yourself, so that the game of politics and anyone who wants into politics, I enter with an inherent bias thinking that person is not interested in change is only interested in power.

[421] If that's what your career choices are, it's an ugly way to make a living.

[422] There are altruistic people out there trying to do the right thing, and they get swallowed by all of the breaks in the system.

[423] But if you were watching last night, I didn't want this moment to get by without comment because I thought it was fairly extraordinary.

[424] We've noticed over the last few years that people in power do not willingly give up that power.

[425] It must be taken from them.

[426] That is what the cries for equality are, and it's why they so often sound like threats.

[427] The idea that Joe Biden, who I've had plenty of criticism for, but who seems like a decent man, the idea that he would in these times be selfless enough to do what is best for the country, what is clearly and obviously best for his party, the fact that he would willingly choose to give up power when the other side is so brazen about what needs to be done to keep power, gerrymandering federal judges, Mitch McConnell, all of it.

[428] It's a fairly extraordinary thing that a sitting U .S. president talked into it by loved ones and people who care about the party would do the selfless, noble thing.

[429] It's a legitimately heroic act.

[430] It's country over ego in this situation.

[431] The problem of it last night, however, was he gave a 48 -minute speech, but it was after 11 o 'clock.

[432] They went on way too long last night.

[433] They cut James Taylor's performance.

[434] I mean, if you know your time, target demographic for your, you know, middle class white voter in their 50s or 60s, they are furious that James Taylor performance was cut.

[435] I tuned in around like 915.

[436] I'm like, oh, this must be, Biden must be going up soon.

[437] I thought it was going to like, end at 10.

[438] It was like just Steve Kerr going.

[439] And I'm like, wait, he's first.

[440] There's still a lot.

[441] I'm like, okay, I've seen enough.

[442] Wait, did he talk about not playing Jason Tatum in the gold medal game?

[443] They were in the United Center, so he had to do the old, I've had a lot of good memories here.

[444] Oh, yeah.

[445] We celebrated here in the 90s.

[446] Remember, he did like a Clinton thing.

[447] He was like, let's do it again.

[448] That's a tough spot for Kerr.

[449] That's just a difficult out of your element making a public speech, no matter how confident you are, no matter how much of a champion you are.

[450] Being a charismatic speaker at that moment, in that moment, it would be very easy to choke.

[451] It would be very easy to be starched.

[452] How do you think the night night thing was pitched to him?

[453] Is that just him like, I'm closing with this?

[454] Or did they have like a social media person that's like, He has a speechwriter or something.

[455] This will crush on social if you end with night night.

[456] That's a great question.

[457] I'm not going to lie, Chris.

[458] I didn't peg you as having watched more of the DNC than I did.

[459] I just watched Steve Kerr.

[460] And then I was like, I got it.

[461] After 1130, you're losing most of the audience.

[462] You're losing just about everybody.

[463] I was very pleased to hear something here that we don't normally have happen around here.

[464] Roy and Jessica are taking a trip into deep into the keys in order to get maximum Key West culture.

[465] I don't think any of us in the group have ever done that with anyone else in the group in 20 years doing this.

[466] What are the details of this trip?

[467] Yeah, so I am attending the Barton and Bear Key West invitation.

[468] They're raising money for the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation.

[469] I'm a part of a barbecue team.

[470] You are.

[471] Is Jess?

[472] No, Jessica is going to have another role in this one.

[473] I'm on the team with a friend of a show, Dave Williamson, and Jody Flanagan, who is the pit master in this situation.

[474] Is this the Flanagan?

[475] No, this is not the Flanagan.

[476] Sorry.

[477] No. It would have been amazing.

[478] But it sounds like you're excluding It seems like you're excluding Jess in the way that this has been presented.

[479] Dan, we're still working out some of the finer details, but I will either be judging at the barbecue contest that Roy will be cooking in, or I may be part of the team Roy's on TBD, but this is a Charity.

[480] Don't worry about it.

[481] You could either be on a team or choosing the winner.

[482] This seems.

[483] Are you going to vote for Roy?

[484] Yeah.

[485] This seems like you.

[486] You should hold it against him.

[487] If he doesn't let you on his team, you should make him lose.

[488] I mean, if his barbecue's not going enough, I'm not going to vote for him.

[489] Um, unbiased.

[490] However, I'm really excited for it.

[491] I think we're going to be like shooting a video.

[492] I'm not sure the details.

[493] Me and Lehman are going like we're going on our own dime.

[494] This is like a little vacation for us.

[495] And we're just happy to be part of this nice great charity event and we're really excited for it also king griffie june is one of the judges would you be into at all staying on an Airbnb houseboat type of situation is that something that i find a hard i have a hard time when i'm in key west picking a place where i'd like to comfortably stay because the ocean will batter everything and anything in key west tends to be pretty beaten up i would i absolutely stay on a house board that sounds like a lot of fun Yeah, no. The bathroom situation, not for me. The toilets are tiny.

[496] They make that, like, scary airplane noise when you flush them.

[497] I don't, I don't want to sleep on a boat, but more importantly, I don't want to shower on a boat.

[498] But I mean, like, Lehman's whole family, like, they're, like, fish people.

[499] Like, they love fishing trips, and they want to sleep on the boat all the time.

[500] And, like, his dad wants to sleep on boats, like, just for fun, even if he doesn't have to.

[501] And that's just, I'm happy for them that they like fishing so much.

[502] But that doesn't.

[503] mean that I have to.

[504] Lehman, more like semen.

[505] I guess you could say that.

[506] Speaking of fish, and that's what we're going to end up doing on Friday.

[507] And on Saturday, we're going to try to catch lobster.

[508] Is the barbecue, does this have anything to do with why it is that Jessica has wanted to talk about whatever this Mr. Meat Master is?

[509] Does this have anything to do with barbecue?

[510] I don't know what Mr. Meatmaster is.

[511] Wait, are you barbecuing fish?

[512] No, no, the barbecue event is on Sunday.

[513] So this is a mishmash of shit for charity.

[514] Yeah.

[515] Yeah, we do have the proteins, by the way.

[516] It's going to be tri -tip, New York strip, turkey breasts, and baby back ribs.

[517] No, Dan, Mr. Meatmaster is now apparently a new sponsor of the University of Miami Hurricanes, which implies the existence of a Mrs. Meat Man's master who I would like to meet.

[518] What is Mr. Meat Master?

[519] What is that?

[520] It's just a sponsor?

[521] A master of meat.

[522] Okay, but what do you want me to know what that is?

[523] I thought that perhaps Mr. Meatmaster, if you're going to be talking about it all the time, well, is it?

[524] It's Mr. Meat Master.

[525] I mean, what else could it be?

[526] Is it a grilling aid of some sort?

[527] It's the beef that athletes eat, Dan.

[528] Says so right here on Mr. Meatmaster .net.

[529] So is it grass fed beef?

[530] Is it a better?

[531] You have a lot of questions about this beef.

[532] You can become an owner.

[533] Join our investor community and be part of shaping a healthier, more.

[534] delicious and sustainable future.

[535] Partner with Mr. Meatmaster as we work together to transform the beef industry.

[536] Also, speaking of Miami, have we talked about Life Wallet yet?

[537] I mean, what's going on there?

[538] We did talk about this yesterday, yes.

[539] Mike Ryan explained to us that John Ruiz doesn't give very much money and isn't very much involved, even though he would like to bluster his way up to the top of NIL.

[540] I'm glad that's cleared up then.

[541] All right, moving on.

[542] I'm excited for the keys with Roy to close the loop on that.

[543] Excited to be part of a great cause.

[544] And to get out of Miami for a couple days where the high there is only 87 degrees and not 95 degrees.

[545] So that will be a really nice break from the beach.

[546] So you guys are going deep down to Key West, right?

[547] That's deep in the Keys.

[548] I prefer Key Largo.

[549] You're in your out.

[550] Yeah, it's fantastic.

[551] Hour and a half.

[552] Right.

[553] Key West could be six hours each way.

[554] I mean, it could be.

[555] I know.

[556] I hope it's not.

[557] We'll see.

[558] Willow's coming.

[559] It'll be nice.

[560] Looks like you can buy meat for Mr. Meatmaster.

[561] They have beef boxes.

[562] I mean, yeah, it's Mr. Meatmaster.

[563] Yeah.

[564] You've got to be careful about when you decide to drive there.

[565] I would go either very early or very late.

[566] Otherwise, a three -hour trip will become a six -hour trip very quickly.

[567] One accident, only one highway going in and out.

[568] All of it is very dangerous.

[569] You arrive at a point where there's just one lane.

[570] That's the entire point.

[571] I mean, I think that's – I've been there a couple of times.

[572] Actually, mentioning Greg Cody for a second here, the last time I went to Key West, I texted Greg, and I said, Greg, I know you're a big Key West guy.

[573] Can you give me some wrecks?

[574] And he never responded.

[575] And that was our last correspondence.

[576] And now it's too awkward to send him another text message.

[577] That was like maybe a year and a half ago.

[578] Why don't you RSVP like, hey, waiting on those wrecks and then I'll let you know if I'm coming or not?

[579] Well, I already put maybe later.

[580] How do we handle that if you get, if you want to text someone and you realize that the last time you engaged over text, they texted you and you didn't respond?

[581] If it's been like three months, do I need to respond to that text that I never responded to?

[582] Or can I just keep it rolling?

[583] Sorry, I missed your last one?

[584] Like something like that.

[585] Some stupid, like, hey, been busy.

[586] You know, this stupid fake thing.

[587] But, oh, man, I don't know how I missed this one.

[588] My bad.

[589] This one fell through the cracks.

[590] And then you answer it.

[591] I love to fall through the cracks.

[592] That time where you needed me, I wasn't there for you.

[593] But now I need you.

[594] Yes.

[595] If it's like a favor and you just totally drop the ball, like someone asking you for for recs for something that you maybe had already talked about in person that day and they just totally blew you off.

[596] then it's a little awkward but if it's just like nothing you know like hey what's up and you missed it i don't think i also find it's hard when you're trying to book someone on the show and you have a texting relationship with them like do i just go right into hey can you join us this time or should i do the whole hey hope you're well how are things by the way and then make the ask right so it's like wait for them to respond first and then ask them after i yeah i always feel awkward with all how much of a conversation do you need to have with them before you ask that question if you don't just ask it in the first text.

[597] I've just gone with, hope you're well, here's my ask.

[598] Just the way to do it.

[599] Put it all in the table.

[600] I'm not going to be fake.

[601] How many consecutive happy birthdays do you send someone that they don't reply back when you realize that's your only exchange with the person is once a year I tell them happy birthday?

[602] And then the next year I'll go to tell him happy birthday.

[603] It's like, oh, I've done like our only text exchange is me saying happy birthday.

[604] You never really, you'll say thank you.

[605] You never tell me happy birthday.

[606] We rarely never talk about anything else.

[607] Like, we're just not friends, it seems.

[608] answer all of your birthday texts?

[609] I try to.

[610] Yeah.

[611] I even try to like if someone like will put like on Instagram or whatever like I try to do more than just hard.

[612] Like I'll say like a thanks.

[613] I got like a rotation like three or four like thanks.

[614] Hey thanks man. Thanks my dude.

[615] I don't really hit you with my dude.

[616] For gender.

[617] My guy.

[618] Doesn't matter what the gender is.

[619] My girl.

[620] I like thumbs up.

[621] I mean.

[622] I love that one.

[623] Might as well be a middle finger.

[624] Or just heart it.

[625] What's worse?

[626] What's worse?

[627] A thumbs up or just a thanks?

[628] Put this on the poll, please, Juju, at Lebitard Show.

[629] Do you answer all of your birthday texts yes or no?

[630] Stugats, when we started talking about houseboats, I saw Stugats is very much embracing his descent into old age.

[631] And the idea of late in life being on a houseboat somewhere, just smoking marijuana and collecting senior discounts.

[632] Collecting senior discounts is his life.

[633] It's his life goal.

[634] I was mortified when I started getting AARP email that starts at 55.

[635] And once I started getting it, I was horrified by this.

[636] My father, all his life, has been trying to get senior discounts.

[637] Even when he was in his early 30s, he was pretending to be older than he was because he wanted the senior movie discount.

[638] And Stu Gatz is absolutely a senior discount person.

[639] I mean, I love it.

[640] I keep getting AARP mail.

[641] I keep signing up, Abby throws it in the garbage.

[642] Oh, I got the magazine?

[643] Did you see who was on the cover of the magazine this month?

[644] No, I missed it.

[645] Who was it?

[646] John Bon Jovi.

[647] Oh, my God.

[648] Amazing.

[649] We're getting old together.

[650] Oh, we had the appetizer last week, but now it's time to feast.

[651] College football is back.

[670] Don Lebertard.

[671] Your history with him suggests three years of heaters out there.

[672] Three years of heaters, but this stugats.

[673] partner enliven by a sports team.

[674] We're having sex, baby.

[675] And Joe Maur yes, like this is the best version of him.

[676] What?

[677] What?

[678] Stugats.

[679] Now you are.

[680] The, the feels good.

[681] This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats.

[682] But I love discounts.

[683] And so AARP, while Abby is fighting her age, she does not want this male.

[684] I'm taking hers.

[685] Because I am getting 15 % off at Hilton hotels.

[686] When I get a Grand Slam at Denny's.

[687] I am getting, I'm telling you right now, getting old is good.

[688] No. No, it's good, Dan.

[689] No, that's not true.

[690] Getting old, there are benefits to getting old.

[691] Well, that's different.

[692] 55 plus community, the dream.

[693] Beats the alternative, am I right?

[694] You don't have to leave.

[695] You play pickleball right there.

[696] Tennis, right there.

[697] Golf, right there.

[698] You would have dinner right there.

[699] All your friends right there.

[700] The hospital rooms are filled with old pickleball people who think that they're younger than they actually are.

[701] It's also right there, though.

[702] I mean, you could just limp on over from the pickleball court.

[703] What's the youngest age to qualify for some sort of senior discount?

[704] I think it's 50.

[705] No, they moved it up.

[706] Before it was like 55.

[707] You're a senior citizen.

[708] Now they moved it up, like 65.

[709] People are living too long.

[710] Yeah, there's some places that like before, like I think, and I don't want to quote teams here.

[711] Before you could go to like certain teams on certain days and you could get free tickets if you were a senior citizen.

[712] And then they up the age of what senior citizens were.

[713] I'm a senior citizen.

[714] I'm seeing on deal news .com, Dan, that by being 50, you can get 10 % off at Bubba Gump Shrimp.

[715] That's what I'm saying.

[716] Anyone 50 -year -old could join AARP.

[717] They have a Labor Day sale going on right now, $9.

[718] The AARP magazine will never go out of business, right?

[719] Because, like, your client tells always the magazine age.

[720] No one knows how to cancel it.

[721] Yeah.

[722] No, and also, like, as soon as, you know, you think, like, oh, only old people read magazines.

[723] More old people keep coming.

[724] You guys are telling me that senior discounts now begin at 50.

[725] No, they moved it up to like 62.

[726] They've gone up in some circumstances, down to 50 and others.

[727] What's the early bird special age group?

[728] That's like 55 plus, right?

[729] I always thought of early bird being 60 and over.

[730] I thought that senior discount, I think of as over 60.

[731] I don't think of it as 55.

[732] But you're not in India.

[733] What about Indiana?

[734] Right, you're here.

[735] 55 years old sounds a bit young.

[736] Thank you, Stugatz, for that clarification.

[737] I am indeed here.

[738] It's good work by you to be that kind of observant for us.

[739] 55 probably sounds young when you're 55, but it probably sounded old when you were 45.

[740] It's all relative, Dan.

[741] That's what I'm learning about aging.

[742] Let's play here some video and some sound of Lane Kiffin, because we were talking about college football here in the University of Miami.

[743] And we were also talking about just the sheer lunacy of Jim Harbaugh.

[744] Lane Kiffin, to me, is to college sports.

[745] and with a smirk.

[746] It's not crazy.

[747] He's in on the joke.

[748] Harbaugh's not in on the jokes, do guys.

[749] Harbaugh...

[750] No, he's serious.

[751] Yeah, you're laughing at him, you're laughing with him and he's like, Carpe Diem, I'm going to squeeze the blood out of your neck with my bare hand.

[752] And this thing that looks like a smile, it's not.

[753] It's just ferocity masked by teeth.

[754] Lane Kiffin has a sense of humor about himself, and he's doing the Nick Sabin type of product placement press conference where there's clearly a Coca -Cola near the microphone, and Coca -Cola is a sponsor for Lane Kiffin's speech here.

[755] I don't think this is what they had in mind.

[756] Does anybody drink Coke?

[757] You guys had 130 % of your sugar for the entire days in this one bottle.

[758] You have to eat 15 to the water.

[759] 65 grams of sugar.

[760] What was the last time here they took?

[761] A long time.

[762] Chris Lowe drinks Coke, though.

[763] I do know that.

[764] See you guys.

[765] That is true.

[766] Kick save and abuse.

[767] Man, I can relate so much to the, hey, there's a guy over there that drinks Coke.

[768] Like, if this was our setting, Dan would be like, Billy's always drinking Coke.

[769] Why is Lane Kiffin taking out what is clearly a sponsor?

[770] That soda would not be there unless that they were giving a good deal of money to be around Mississippi football.

[771] The other option was Desani, which was the other bottom on the video.

[772] owned by Coke.

[773] Also a Coca -Cola product.

[774] That's right.

[775] He said it like it was a good thing.

[776] You get 130 % of your daily sugar intake.

[777] That's so efficient.

[778] Maybe you're good about myself.

[779] Think about how many things you would need to take to get 100%.

[780] This one product gives you 130.

[781] If you got 130 on a test, that's like incredible.

[782] I tell all my players to give 130%.

[783] There you go.

[784] I have not for two weeks.

[785] I have not talked about anything sports media related.

[786] I've not mentioned anything.

[787] Billy, I want to start keeping a board in here the way that we used to for race.

[788] Number of days I have gone without talking about a sports media topic.

[789] That can't be true.

[790] It is true.

[791] Let's make it three.

[792] You will not.

[793] We talked about Charles Barkley like a week ago.

[794] Wasn't that last Monday?

[795] We gave Nick Wright's top five list two segments ago.

[796] I had four of them.

[797] I had four.

[798] Me personally.

[799] The thing that I thought that you guys would like hearing about, though, an actual sports media conversation that may make some of you, nostalgic, sports reporters is coming back.

[800] Wow.

[801] What?

[802] Look it out of here.

[803] Lupica.

[804] Oh, my God.

[805] Made jambis?

[806] He's doing it.

[807] Only on YouTube.

[808] Whoa, man. Only on YouTube hosted by Jeremy Shapp.

[809] Yeah.

[810] Dick Shack.

[811] Let's go.

[812] Deserves it.

[813] Legacy.

[814] Now, the original producer of sports reporters has passed on.

[815] Joe Valerio.

[816] I read that it wasn't going to be necessarily in what's already been taped, sports writers, that it's going to be, the first one's going to be like Joe Buck, Al Michaels, it's going to be a new kind of sports reporters.

[817] This is what's being speculated.

[818] They couldn't find enough sports writers?

[819] The industry, the newspaper industry, is so depleted that they could not find three sports reporters to sit around an old coffee table.

[820] I'm thinking Greg Cody has a shot.

[821] I mean.

[822] Jeremy Shab hosting a sports reporter of a sports.

[823] Ticktokers would be the best.

[824] The best.

[825] Is this something that gets universal applause in the other room, or do we have any dissenters on?

[826] Yeah, not interested.

[827] Won't watch.

[828] Don't have this piece of nostalgia.

[829] It's from a bygone age, and television has moved on.

[830] We really don't need people gasbagging around a coffee table.

[831] Done it since Crossfire.

[832] Meet the press.

[833] Crossfire.

[834] Not that interesting.

[835] Don't need it anymore in my life.

[836] I like it.

[837] I like it.

[838] I like it too, yeah.

[839] I don't think Jessica has any.

[840] See, the original sports reporters was in Chicago.

[841] It was Rick Tellender and a bunch of old -timey, like really old sports reporters.

[842] That was the first one.

[843] It was Chicago cable access television, and some people got it nationally.

[844] They smoked cigars.

[845] That was the original incarnation.

[846] Then it was hosted by Dick Schapp on ESPN every Sunday morning, and then John Saunders, and at the end, Mike Lupica.

[847] But it hasn't been around for how long, is it now?

[848] Six years.

[849] it got banished to ESPN 2.

[850] They ran it off.

[851] Football came and stomped it out.

[852] Football comes on Sunday mornings and just shits on everybody.

[853] They're like that guy who was flying to Ireland, just peas on everybody, gets everybody out of the business on Sunday morning.

[854] And now it's coming back on YouTube.

[855] And I ask you, what is the audience for that?

[856] The final episode, by the way, was May 7th of 2017.

[857] I think there's going to be a big audience, a big old audience, but a big old audience.

[858] A big old audience that doesn't know how to find.

[859] find YouTube, can find an AARP magazine because they're still buying magazines, but won't be able to find how to pay for Sunday ticket because it's on YouTube.

[860] I was thinking about that when you mentioned YouTube, the Sunday ticket, you can customize your three or four game box the way you want it.

[861] That's a great idea.

[862] I'm going to need someone to come over and help me with that.

[863] I don't have to do that.

[864] Don't your daughters help you with this?

[865] Yeah, but they're not going to be home.

[866] Yeah, but for $700, you can buy just multiple TVs.

[867] That is one inefficient way to do it.

[868] Well, no, you're saving money.

[869] I could buy, like, a $150 TV, and I could put it next to another $150 TV.

[870] And I've now saved money.

[871] $150?

[872] Yeah, TVs.

[873] Give me $150.

[874] I'll get you with TV.

[875] He will.

[876] I can't in Miami at a gas station.

[877] You could go to Target right now on like a 32 -inch screen TV is less than $200.

[878] It's crazy.

[879] I want to ask all of you this question, because this happens to me once a week, once a week.

[880] and I think it's because I'm going to assume that it's because of the car I'm driving and that people assume that if I'm my age in a convertible, that I will have cash.

[881] Once a week, someone in Miami comes up to me in a van with what is clearly stolen merchandise asking me if I would like to buy something from out of their van.

[882] Electronics.

[883] Like it's obviously stolen and it happens all the time in Miami.

[884] An alarming amount.

[885] and in an amount that I'm imagining cannot happen outside of maybe Los Angeles, maybe New York, the same way that it happens here.

[886] That happened to me like three or four weeks ago.

[887] I was at Home Depot and I was getting something for my anniversary and like some guy was like honking and I was like, what does this person like need?

[888] What do they want or whatever?

[889] And they pull over and they're like, hey, I have this entertainment system for your house.

[890] And this normally goes for $7 ,000.

[891] But I ordered too many for a job that I'm doing.

[892] Like do you want?

[893] want it.

[894] And in my head, I'm like, wait, what?

[895] And then he parks.

[896] And then he opens the back of his car.

[897] And I'm like, okay, I'm getting kidnapped.

[898] But I started like looking at this thing.

[899] And you're like, Stugats, go home.

[900] Well, no, he's showing me all.

[901] He's like, look, you can put this speaker here, this speaker there.

[902] And he's like, you know, normally he's go for $7 ,000.

[903] And naive me, I was like, this guy just going to give me an entertainment?

[904] It's like, it doesn't fit in my house.

[905] But if you're going to give it to me, like, I can figure out something to do with this thing.

[906] And then he's like, you know, it's $7 ,000.

[907] But obviously, I wouldn't ask.

[908] for that much for.

[909] And I was like, this is way too much entertainment system for my house.

[910] Thank you, though.

[911] And I left.

[912] And I didn't get kidnapped.

[913] You had to purchase an anniversary gift and you went to Home Depot?

[914] Oh, yeah, because here's a thing.

[915] Here's a thing.

[916] Got a grill.

[917] Social.

[918] Listen to me. Do not betray me and clip this because my wife doesn't listen to this show.

[919] But if it's on Instagram, she might see it.

[920] Here's a thing.

[921] It's our fifth wedding anniversary.

[922] Wood.

[923] Congratulations.

[924] Yeah, Wood for the grill.

[925] How'd you guys know?

[926] I do the same thing.

[927] I did good for Wood.

[928] Well, what?

[929] Huh?

[930] I did a good one.

[931] Like, I had a good one.

[932] Me and my wife went out to dinner, and I had a friend, while we were out to dinner, set up in our backyard a wood in, like a bonfire with wood, because the wood is crackling.

[933] And also, I had, what the hell did I have?

[934] I had the type of wine sitting there was like wood brine or something.

[935] It was the type of wine.

[936] It was a really shitty type of wine, but it had wood in the name.

[937] That was the most Greg Cody.

[938] That's adorable what I did.

[939] Did I have in the middle of your sentence?

[940] But that's adorable by me right there.

[941] What do you do?

[942] Wait, Dan, your wood anniversary is coming up soon, too, then.

[943] What are you going to do?

[944] Morning wood.

[945] Yeah, now we're talking.

[946] I can go to your backyard and set up a little bonfire if you'd like to do the same thing I think.

[947] Yeah, please, please do that for me. In a penthouse.
