The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz XX
[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.

[11] Jersey City, New Jersey, please drink responsibly.
[12] This is the Dan Levatore show with the Stugats podcast.
[13] Tony alleges, and this is fake news, that I snap my fingers and things just happen around here, but I asked many hours ago for the origins of how it is that someone came for the first time to be in cahoots with someone else, and I continue to ask and want clarification because I do think it's funny if Stephen A. Smith is on what he is calling the number one rated sports program in America for 13 years, which is a bit of a cheap rhetorical trick by him, by the way, because half of those years they weren't even competing against anybody.
[14] And then Fox popped up with Skip Bayless.
[15] Well, and also I would say PTI outrated them for a long time.
[16] Well, but in that time slot, in that time slot, they have beat all comers, but there were just recently, there was one comer and it was Skip Bayless, and it was for six or seven years and then it was done.
[17] The way we use Cahoot, it derives from the French word Cahoot and it means cabin or hut suggesting the notion of two or more being hidden away working together in secret.
[18] Cahoot.
[19] What is the French word?
[20] Cahoot.
[21] So you think it...
[22] Well, we spell it C -A -H -O -O -T and the French spelling is C -A -H -U -T -E.
[23] C -A -H -U -T -E.
[24] As opposed to C -H -H -O -O -T as opposed to C -H.
[25] We spell it with 2A, C -A -C -A -H -O -T is how we and they spell it H -U -T -E.
[26] But at ESPN, they do spell with two A's.
[27] So what is the accusation?
[28] Because I really do want to understand the accusation.
[29] If Stephen A. Smith is going on the number one rated program and accusing me of being in cahoots on timing with Tua, the NFL, and someone else, the Dolphins, please explain to me the details in this scheme.
[30] Well, Dan, you asked that question, and you said you snap your fingers and nothing happens, But Dan, a lot of things happen.
[31] It's just they don't happen in front of your eyes.
[32] It happen behind the scenes.
[33] And so behind the scenes, Jeremy Tashay has been working exhaustively, this deep investigation.
[34] And he comes to us now with his findings, I believe.
[35] Jeremy, what have you got for us?
[36] Yeah, Dan and Amin, I mean, it's obvious that Dan was working in cahoots with the NFL, with the Miami Dolphins, to basically have a set up canned interview to be able to get this answer from Tua.
[37] But we've got a lot of connections.
[38] going on here and we start with sort of a big three.
[39] Obviously, Dan Leotard right here at the start of this interview.
[40] We have Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the NFL.
[41] But we have this third sort of shadowy figure that we don't know much about.
[42] They call them the draft king.
[43] And that's what connects these two together to sort of start this whole thing.
[44] But we're looking at sort of the Leotard extended universe of crime family.
[45] So we start right here.
[46] The GBF family.
[47] First, there's John Wiener, street name Stugatz.
[48] Then There's Guillermo Gill, street name the Duke.
[49] They're connected, of course, to Leotard.
[50] They're also connected to the Draft King.
[51] Then you got Mike Ryan, here a leader of the GC crew, obviously the Golden Canes.
[52] They connect him to Leotard and also the Draft King.
[53] Of course, the Footgirls clan, they're not only connected to Gidell, to Leotard, but also to misogyny.
[54] They are connected to misogyny, which we know, obviously, connects it to the NFL as well.
[55] I mean, come on.
[56] Then there's the 1440 boys.
[57] Greg Cody show.
[58] Now, we can connect them not only to Levitard, but also to Mike McDaniel and the Miami Dolphins, Mike McDaniel, who we can connect to Tua.
[59] So what do we know about the Hock -Tua family and their connections over here?
[60] Well, Andrew Hawkins, known as Hawk, connected to Labetard.
[61] Mark Hockman, known as Hawk, connected to LeBtard.
[62] Obviously, when you hear the word Hock at the moment, Hock, Tua is the first thing you think of.
[63] Well, Hock Tua, that's a part of it.
[64] This whole family as well has been a part of a viral sensation.
[65] to sort of tone down the name Tua and make it seem even more palatable as Leotard obviously works with the NFL to make all of these things happen.
[66] So you've got all of these different families working together, but you also have really important industries that we need to get to because our Amin al -Hasson is connected to DMX, obviously.
[67] So the music industry might be a huge part of this as well connected to Barack Obama.
[68] So the entire political structure needs to be working in turn with Leotard, Goodell, obviously Ricky Williams and the weed conglomerate, working with Dan, working with the draft king, working with Roger Goodell, all in cahoots.
[69] Notice our ju -ju -gottie and Roger Goodell caught in the act.
[70] Cahooting.
[71] Cahooting at the Super Bowl.
[72] Why is Shannon Sharp up there?
[73] Well, obviously, Shannon Sharp, part of the movie industry, once connected talking movies to our own Dan Leotard.
[74] And so you can connect him to the NFL.
[75] You can connect him to the Draft King.
[76] And honestly, guys, what we realize after we look at all of this is it all started right here in this moment as Dan awkwardly embraced NFL superstar.
[77] Josh Norman.
[78] That was the moment that Goodell knew that Dan could be cahooted for a moment like this.
[79] Carol, Carol, Carol!
[80] Carol!
[81] It's Pepe Sylvia, of course.
[82] Dan.
[83] This is where it all started.
[84] Okay, I appreciate all that investigative work.
[85] The wire.
[86] I'm glad that we got to the bottom of it.
[87] I knew something was up that Josh Norman hug.
[88] I knew something was up that day.
[89] Caught on surveillance camera.
[90] I mean, like, that's as FBI level investigation as you can get that.
[91] That's federal work.
[92] When we talk about taking out the media in America, can you guys explain to me why so many people are writing to me in the middle of the two of Flores thing and saying, Why isn't anyone blaming you, Levitard, blaming you for what it is that happened here, this discord that you created inside the dolphins, making unnecessary distractions for our football team before an important season?
[93] A whole lot of people are wondering about the media's role in this.
[94] I'm dead serious.
[95] Like, why are they doing for asking him the question, which was really open -ended and was meant as a bit of a softball to just talk about what Mike McName?
[96] believing in you is about.
[97] Like, it wasn't, the intention was not to create anything that resembled noise for three days.
[98] I mean, come on.
[99] We knew it that question.
[100] Like, we wanted them to.
[101] No, you didn't know how he could, he could absolutely give you quarterback speaking.
[102] He could have just taken it and talked about McDaniel.
[103] But the question was like, these two different, like, tell us, how is the, what's the change here?
[104] If anybody had an agenda, it was clearly, too.
[105] Yeah.
[106] Well, I mean, he had the platform and he seemed very eager for someone to ask him that question.
[107] And, I mean, he knows when he's giving that answer that it's going to make waves, and I don't think he cares.
[108] Yeah, no, that's the thing.
[109] This wasn't him being baited into saying something.
[110] He was very forward in what he wanted to say, because as you guys just pointed out, he could easily say, what's the difference?
[111] Oh, Mike McDaniel, imagine a guy who wakes up every day to build you up as opposed to tear you down.
[112] Like, he could have done it from the Mike McDaniel angle.
[113] He chose to do it from a Brian Ford's angle.
[114] I don't have any problem with it.
[115] That was his experience.
[116] It doesn't sound like from Brian Flores' press conference that Tua said anything that was inaccurate.
[117] Well, this part, I don't think we covered quite enough yesterday.
[118] In being jarred by the Brian Flores press conference, when you talk about how you avoid these things with either quarterback speak or coach speak, this was a professional head coach.
[119] He knows how to navigate these things.
[120] I didn't have on my bingo card copping to being an asshole, which is kind of what he did.
[121] Like, I didn't have him coming out.
[122] Samson said he shouldn't have done that, that it made him appear weak.
[123] I didn't think so.
[124] I thought it was a moment of humility.
[125] I thought it was strong.
[126] I don't need my football leader who looks like Brian Flores to physically flex in front of me and repress all of his feelings.
[127] When he says, yeah, it hit hard to hear him call me a terrible person.
[128] The acknowledgement is what blew me a. way, the fact that he was willing to cop to a press conference.
[129] When have you ever seen the coach have the press conference where he said, yeah, I was an asshole?
[130] Like, it's not what he said, but he said it the way that, the way that he could under the circumstances.
[131] So what's the debate here?
[132] I genuinely don't know.
[133] Like, what's a pushback that you're receiving, creating a distraction or being cahooted?
[134] It seems, though, Tua had an agenda, used the platform to share the agenda.
[135] There was no real denial from Brian Flores.
[136] If anything, there was a confirmation of that.
[137] said he has grown from it, and I think that's a case closed.
[138] Well, we provided said platform, and we provided said platform that ended up further discrediting Brian Flores and further absolving the dolphins to the NFL.
[139] And that was what the plan was, as we saw with Jeremy's board.
[140] It's all designed to be in cahoots to bring about the top best case.
[141] scenario for the National Football League.
[142] Can you guys get me the Darlington sound?
[143] Chris Cody.
[144] I love this.
[145] Chris Cody is claiming that Darlington is mad at us.
[146] Now Darlington, let me tell you a little bit about Darlington.
[147] He reported that golf arrest and now he thinks he's Mr. News and Information guy who's out in front of everybody and why aren't you listening to me when I've told you things months early?
[148] He reported months ago that the reason Flores was fired was his handling of Tua specifically.
[149] And there's a clip here we're about to play, of him basically saying on SportsCenter, like, this shouldn't be new to Flores.
[150] I said this months ago.
[151] Why is nobody talking about this?
[152] This is what's happening here.
[153] Chris Cody is theorizing.
[154] I want to allege, look, let's come back and fight fire with fire.
[155] Stephen A. Smith's going to accuse us of being in cahoots.
[156] Let's us publicly as a show accuse Jeff Darlington of being acidicly bitter about the fact that no one listened to his story until we prodded it out of Tua while being in caho with Goodell, the NFL, and the Dolphins to undermine the black head coach or the black assistant coach in Minnesota.
[157] You know, the only thing I'd say about that is if Brian Flores was surprised about Tuatunga Vailoa's comments or feelings, he has had his head in the sand since the moment he was fired.
[158] It's part of the reason that he was fired.
[159] His record did not merit him to be fired.
[160] It was his treatment of Tuatunga Vailoa, large in part, which I had reported at the time.
[161] if you're fired because of your treatment towards somebody and then two years later you act surprised by that that's my only I would say question about that this is not a surprise to Brian Flores yes hopefully it is a teachable moment but it should have been a teachable moment the second he was fired for his treatment of a player when I reported it Darlington is pissed and he's been wearing sunglasses at camp that make his face tan weirdly Dan what are you alleging here I am alleging that Darlington is angry because he reported something months ago correctly and accurately and no one cared until Tua said it.
[162] I'm talking about the other thing that you allege there at the end.
[163] I'm alleging that he was at camp and he was wearing sunglasses and the makeup people who were handling his makeup betrayed him on this day and they could not hide his anger behind makeup because look at him.
[164] I can see them.
[165] I'm bittered filled with rage and I owe him a bet by the way.
[166] One of the things that we escaped, like Whittingham escaped all of his grit of death punishments by just leaving the company.
[167] When I left the ESPN, I end up getting away from the bet I lost to Darlington.
[168] He was going to tase me. Was he not?
[169] Oh, are we going to do that?
[170] ESPN loved that idea.
[171] They were like, yeah, I'd totally do it.
[172] There's nothing wrong with this.
[173] We love it.
[174] Keep doing more, do more of that.
[175] Threaten to tase more talent and just think that you could do it without informing anybody.
[176] This is a great idea.
[177] You're fucking fired.
[178] I thought it was because we were woke.
[179] Let go.
[180] You said earlier in the...
[181] Yeah.
[182] No, you're not fired for this, but this is a drop in a bucket.
[183] What?
[184] I thought it's because we were too woke.
[185] Money cut.
[186] Which one was it?
[187] You are fired.
[188] Which one was it?
[189] You are fired.
[190] You don't talk enough sports.
[191] Kids and cages, no one wants to hear that.
[192] This is the coward slot, people.
[193] Like, just, what are you doing with this slot?
[194] Respect the cages?
[195] Put it on the poll at Lebitard show.
[196] Can you just say that.
[197] Why were we fired?
[198] Too woke or Dan's taser bet with Jeff Darlington?
[199] What is it with you?
[200] Every day there's something new.
[201] That was my experience after every show.
[202] You want to know what one of the worst jobs in America is?
[203] Oh, no. Being executive producer of the Levitard show while I was with ESPN and trying to explain Dan's behavior as if I had any insight to it.
[204] And while you weren't an ESPN employee either, which is a lot of fun.
[205] That was that, yeah, at the very beginning, I wasn't an ESPN employee.
[206] because, you know, that's how things work over there.
[207] And I was just producing daily content while not actually being on the payroll.
[208] Who was paying you?
[209] It was the ticket.
[210] Lincoln Financial.
[211] Yeah.
[212] Lincoln Financial.
[213] Jeremy, add that to the board.
[214] Lincoln Financial.
[215] There was a really fun three -week period where my contract was finally absorbed by ESPN, but also Lincoln Financial had closed on a sale.
[216] So for one whole week, I had to do all the corporate.
[217] onboarding for a place that I was going to be at for five minutes.
[218] So all the compliance, all the training, all everything, a crash course in a week, having to sign up for health care for one pay period, doing all of that stuff.
[219] And then two weeks later, resetting the clock and doing it all over again for the Walt Disney company, which actually had Mark Hamill voicing over those videos, which was a lot more enjoyable.
[220] How much you think they paid him to do that?
[221] Hamill?
[222] Yeah.
[223] Oh, God.
[224] Because beyond being Luke Skywalker, he's a very accomplished, very, very respectful voice voice actor.
[225] So to do voiceover work, even though it's Mark Hamill, it's like, yo, he does the Joker and the Batman animated series.
[226] 100K?
[227] I'm getting to it.
[228] No way.
[229] 100K?
[230] 100K.
[231] He's there every year.
[232] Dude, 100K.
[233] 100K.
[234] I guarantee you he's made at least $100 ,000.
[235] He's made way more.
[236] Off of the HR videos?
[237] Way more.
[238] Wow.
[239] 100K.
[240] You have a good voice.
[241] Have you ever considered doing voice work?
[242] I have, actually.
[243] antiquado.
[244] That is the very limited Antonio Benderis saying the single word he knows.
[245] Travis Kelsey is going to be paid what to do Happy Gilmore 2.
[246] How does that all come together?
[247] Happy Gilmore 2.
[248] Adam Sandler, he's got one of the best gigs in the history of entertainment where he just gathers together a bunch of people he wants to go on vacation with and makes a movie.
[249] Happy Gilmore 2 is easy for him to do and compare that to where we are with Russia Hour 4, by the way, because Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan want to do Rush Hour 4.
[250] It's being sent out all over the place, but they can't do it because Brett Ratner is attached as a producer and director, and that guy's got so much shit in his past that he's trying to go, he's trying to become the Mel Gibson route of maybe I can skate through by grabbing a couple of things here on the side.
[251] Ride Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker and nostalgia of right past all of this shit.
[252] Remember when Eddie Murphy was going to host the Oscars?
[253] This was a recent thing, because Because Brett Ratner was producing the Oscars.
[254] And then Ratner got moved off the Oscars.
[255] And that's how we lost Eddie Murphy hosting the Oscars.
[256] So happy Gilmore, too.
[257] Travis Kelsey is now reported to be a part of that.
[258] What are you sighing about?
[259] Because, like, there's a couple of things.
[260] Look, I like Travis Kelsey a lot.
[261] As we've established, me and the Kelsey's, we go back prior to the whole Taylor Swift thing.
[262] I'm a day one with the Kelsey family.
[263] And by day one, I mean the Super Bowl in Arizona.
[264] Why are you giving us your Kelsey bona fide?
[265] I just, I want to be clear.
[266] I'm a fan of Travis Kelsey as a player.
[267] I'm a fan of him off the field, all of his endeavors.
[268] He was in that short -lived sitcom on Showtime about a mission to Mars, basically.
[269] Some space show, yeah.
[270] Yeah, but he played himself being part of this mission.
[271] He played Travis Kelsey.
[272] John C. Riley, is Steve Carell in that?
[273] I believe so, yes.
[274] I thought Steve Carell was in the other one.
[275] There were two at the same time, right?
[276] He is in the other one.
[277] You're right.
[278] This is Moon Base 8.
[279] Moon Base 8, there you go.
[280] So I support his ambitions.
[281] But when you tell me it's an Adam Sandler vehicle, I know exactly how this goes.
[282] You guys say, how does this come about?
[283] It comes about like this.
[284] Adam Sandler is sitting on the couch, laying back on the couch.
[285] His feet are kicked up.
[286] He's throwing a ball of some sorts up in the air and catching it.
[287] And then someone says, hey, Adam, Travis Kelsey wants to be in one of your movies.
[288] And Adam says, okay.
[289] And basically they're going to cast him as.
[290] like the firefighter who shows up like hey what's the big idea over here and that's it like there's no thought process there's no writing it's an adam sandler movie it is the simple lowest common denominator story basically you nailed it on the head they give him an exorbitant amount of money he casts his friends they go on to tropical locations to shoot this shit the story is written in a day maybe a day and a back of a napkin and they just goof off so it sounds like this so it sounds it would sound something like this hey hey adam can we put Travis Kelsey and happy Gilmore too I do you believe yes we will do that we will we will do that yes I hate that boy so much it's he does an amazing job that's really good oh do you hate that impression oh my god it's also really good so bad a chorus of Adam Sandler's impression is so bad Adam Sandler will often be seen in New York you know what I hate about Adam Sandler the most the most is I've hated what Every single movie he's great, including the, what was the one that you made me watch, Mike, when we're in the old studio?
[291] It was Billy Madison.
[292] Oh, my God, that movie was so terrible.
[293] Stop looking at me, Swan.
[294] I hate all of his movies, except for one.
[295] Punch drunk love is great.
[296] It's great.
[297] I would have to explain that one to ESPN.
[298] Conditioner is better.
[299] I leave the hair silky and smooth.
[300] The reason I hate him the most is because I know.
[301] in my heart of hearts, if I met Adam Sandler, we would probably be very good friends.
[302] And then at some point, I'd get cast in one of his movies, and then I'd have to recant every - Playing pickup basketball game.
[303] Absolutely.
[304] I'd be, I'm there for it.
[305] And I hate that about myself, Dan.
[306] I might need to go to the therapy couch.
[307] This is what I hate about myself.
[308] I know I'm a fraud.
[309] I know it.
[310] I look in the mirror every morning.
[311] I look at this fraud.
[312] You know what?
[313] Go ahead and go to the therapy couch right now.
[314] I need to.
[315] Because you can be bought.
[316] If Kelsey ends up as like a police officer in Happy Gomore 2, Shaq and Dan Patrick are going to be like, what the fuck?
[317] Daddy.
[318] Adam Sandler is known to walk the streets of New York.
[319] This is aggressive, eating straight from a jar of pickles.
[320] Hell yeah.
[321] That's the way to do it right there.
[322] That's amazing.
[323] Just to walk around as a famous person, you know those sweats smell like pickle juice.
[324] You know he's going to get into a. pickup game somewhere in his 50s at some Y somewhere.
[325] And then he's going to call Kevin James.
[326] They're going to shout at the Mets game and then they're going to go to Hawaii and make a movie because Happy Gilmore 2.
[327] People will watch it just for the nostalgia.
[328] Netflix will pay how much for that movie?
[329] How much money would Netflix pay for Happy Gilmore 2?
[330] He's got a first look deal, right?
[331] He's got a development deal there, so I think it's like an all -encompassing deal with him.
[332] But he doesn't have to do that.
[333] He can do any number of projects and then save that for the side because that's a movie that can make all manner of money whenever it is that he wants to make it.
[334] Whenever he were to put it out, that's a movie that people are going to want the nostalgia of, oh, I love this guy.
[335] I love that movie from 20 years ago.
[336] Yes.
[337] Do you guys want Rush Hour 4?
[338] No, I don't want Rush Hour 3.
[339] I don't really understand how I can go about pretending to be this person who's so tough and he doesn't like anything and all.
[340] He's, oh, I mean, it's so harsh and stuff.
[341] because he's always hating on stuff.
[342] And deep down inside, I kind of know I want that acceptance, man. I want that widespread acceptance.
[343] Hey, no!
[344] Jackie Chan's career deserves to be memorialized.
[345] He is an old man now.
[346] He's done his own stunts forever.
[347] He is one of the greatest talents in the history internationally of entertainment and Hollywood, and he deserves the proper send -off as a real and true legend.
[348] Dan says that he thinks of punch -drunk love.
[349] is the one movie I like of Adam Sandler's and that's not that.
[350] I actually didn't think it was that great.
[351] I thought it was just because he was talking in a regular voice and now all of a sudden we're just going to respect him.
[352] Get out of here.
[353] What movie do you think it was?
[354] That was Adam Sandler, was it the one about dying in comedy?
[355] Was it did he do that one with Seth Rogan?
[356] I don't know was it, I don't know what the name of that movie.
[357] Thank you.
[358] I appreciate that, Adam.
[359] I appreciate it.
[360] Anchor management?
[361] That was a good one.
[362] Some classics, man. I just spoke to me in a way that I don't know if I can even explain it to people.
[363] Because I think most people actually don't like this movie.
[364] It's you don't mess with the Zohan.
[365] And I don't know why.
[366] That's a good movie, actually.
[367] That's a really good movie.
[368] That right there, honestly, it nails down all the tensions you need to know that are going on in the Middle East.
[369] That movie is a great representation.
[370] Truly.
[371] I watched it around my bar mitzvah with a bunch of my friends, which was interesting timing.
[372] The thing about was a rebound or whatever it was called, that basketball.
[373] football movie that everybody made a big deal is that Doc Rivers is in it and Dave Yeager's on the assistant coaching staff which he was in real life and Dave Yeager could not walk all he needed to do is walk down a hallway behind Doc Rivers he acted his ass on with just walking on Centipode we gave him an award for we called the Dave Yeager Award for not being able to even play the background what kind of therapy session is this it's such a great setup for a Doc Rivers impression And I was like, Dave, Dave, he just have to walk.
[374] We're not asking you to even have a line.
[375] You don't even have to have a reaction.
[376] You just walk.
[377] Wait, I mean, I mean, can you do me the favorite?
[378] Just walk him down.
[379] I mean, can you just do for me Doc Rivers in therapy?
[380] Right.
[381] Like right now, Doc Rivers, we go in live exclusively to Doc Rivers right now in his life with everything that's happened over the last 24 months.
[382] let's check in exclusively something that feels like an ethical violation on Doc Rivers talking with his therapy.
[383] Everybody seems to blame me for what happened at ESPN with JJ leaving and I left them in the lurch.
[384] They said, what lurch?
[385] What lurch?
[386] Hey, they offered me $40 million to coach Yonis and Davey Lillard.
[387] Hell, Norby would have taken that deal.
[388] What are you talking about?
[389] What are you talking to?
[390] And then I get there and it was bad because the record wasn't so good under me. Hey, I'd have Trady Cap.
[391] I'd have an opportunity to blow a 3 -1 lead.
[392] That's what I do.
[393] I build up a 3 -1 lead.
[394] There's a good segment there.
[395] Doc Rivers in therapy.
[396] Doc Rivers has a four -seed, perpetually in therapy.
[397] You keep tuning in, and all Doc Rivers is talking about is, we're up 3 -1.
[398] We were always up 3 -1.
[399] Oh, my God.
[400] I'm glad you did that.
[401] I mean, congratulations on successfully executing a bit.
[402] Love those shorts of tech shorts.
[403] Big game in Dublin.
[404] It's bubbling in Dublin.
[405] There are no Vieri.
[406] You know what you don't do?
[407] You know what you don't do, Dan?
[408] You don't give Brent Key months to prepare for a football game.
[409] That's something that you don't do.
[410] I thought for sure you would have opinions on Delaware State missing its 10 -and -a -half -hour flight.
[411] Yeah, my opinions are why was this yanked off?
[412] the board so quickly before I can lay into that Hawaii line.
[413] Howdy listeners, it's Mike Ryan.
[414] The Dan Lebitard show started September 1st, 2004.
[415] It's a long time ago.
[416] 20 years, in fact, a lot has changed over that 20 years.
[417] But for most of that 20 years, we've had Miller Light on board as a proud partner.
[418] And even though, like I said, so much has changed, our show has changed, where we've been, where we air, our priorities, they've all changed.
[419] One thing that hasn't?
[420] The dependable taste of Miller Light.
[421] What's the best thing about the original light beer?
[422] Miller Light sparked this debate way back in 1975 and we still haven't settled it.
[423] For me, it's undebatable.
[424] The quality.
[425] Great taste.
[426] Only 96 calories.
[427] It's a beer that strips away everything that you don't need and holds on what matters most.
[428] You don't have to choose what you like best about Miller Light.
[429] Miller Light has great taste and is less filling.

[453] He's the one who's got to like worry about what the future is.
[454] And Mike Ryan bet on draft kings because Mike Ryan bet on us.
[455] This is the bet you're afraid of doubling down on?
[456] Putting up a billboard in Edmonton.
[457] Stugats.
[458] care more about Matthew Kachuk than I do my daughter.
[459] This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats.
[460] Yeah, it's not my favorite rejoin.
[461] Context needs to be applied.
[462] I thought the context was applied.
[463] We'd like to rip that out of context.
[464] I was going for a thing.
[465] And I have a family.
[466] You're going to pretend here that you don't love Matthew Kachuk more than you love anybody you've ever loved?
[467] I don't love Matthew Kuch.
[468] more than my daughter.
[469] Now it's pretty damn close.
[470] I've loved Matthew Kuchuk more than I've ever thought I could love a professional athlete.
[471] He's my favorite of all time.
[472] If he needed an organ, I would give it and it doesn't matter which organ.
[473] It could be the heart.
[474] I would give him my heart.
[475] Hort.
[476] You already have given him your heart.
[477] Yeah, but literally I would.
[478] He gave us his heart too, and that's why we love him so much.
[479] He gave you his Hort.
[480] Heart and Hort are two different things.
[481] Heart is like, I love you.
[482] Hort is like, yo, I'm going to leave it all out on the line for this game.
[483] No, I'm in the organ that pumps the blood through the body.
[484] I would give that to him if he needed it.
[485] That's also out of con. I don't think I would die for Matthew Kachan.
[486] You would leave your daughter.
[487] You would die.
[488] No, I wouldn't do that because of the mess that I would leave behind.
[489] I'm very important to my family.
[490] It's a mess?
[491] I would leave behind a mess.
[492] If you gave your heart to Matthew Kachuk.
[493] And NIL contracts that haven't been completed.
[494] I can't do that to these kids.
[495] I thought it was like the unresolved dump that's inside you.
[496] It finally just release.
[497] Yeah.
[498] I actually had a really good one earlier today.
[499] Yeah.
[500] Okay, you guys, why is it that you guys can't, you can't go a couple of hours without going into the shit humor?
[501] Like, you can't do it.
[502] You're, the both of you are fundamentally incapable.
[503] No, don't drag me into this.
[504] He asked me a question.
[505] No, all right.
[506] Moving on.
[507] The thing that I wanted to talk about last segment that I didn't get off the ground while we were talking about rush hour four being plagued and polluted by Brett Ratner is Jackie Chan deserves a send -off, man. Jackie Chan has had a legendary career doing movies the way no one else does them, doing all of his own stunts in a way that would make even Tom Cruise blush.
[508] And he deserves to be celebrated.
[509] I mean, this career deserves.
[510] How old is Jackie Chan now?
[511] There's like a recent Jackie Chan controversy that, like, shining a negative light on him.
[512] No way.
[513] There's no such thing.
[514] He is 70 years old.
[515] I'm getting down to it.
[516] Get me the list, please, Jeremy.
[517] of things Jackie Chan has broken on the set.
[518] He is canceled in Asia for being, quote, an a -hole to his family.
[519] His family are a -holes.
[520] How about that?
[521] How do you know this?
[522] You just know this?
[523] Because he's Jackie Chan.
[524] Like, Jackie Chan can't be the A -hole.
[525] Like, Jackie Chan is always the good guy.
[526] And someone, wow, that's an idea for a movie.
[527] Jackie Chan plays a villain.
[528] I've never seen him.
[529] Maybe that's the last movie he needs to do.
[530] Jackie Chan plays a villain.
[531] I don't think he could he do it?
[532] He's a great actor, but I don't know if he could pull that one off.
[533] Jeremy, can you find for us, please, the assortment of injuries that Jackie Chan has suffered on the set because I'm guessing that his body is fundamentally broken.
[534] I'm guessing that he's walking through what remains of his career as a football player in his 70s.
[535] I've got a full list here.
[536] All right.
[537] Broken eyebrow ridge on Drunken Master.
[538] Lacerated lip on Police Story 4.
[539] Tooth knocked out doing Snake in the Eagle's shadow.
[540] Dislocated shoulder, damaged cervical spine, broken breastbone, broken fingers, damaged knee, injured ankle, injured thigh, damaged tailbone, dislocated pelvis, spinal damage, injured lower chin, fractured skull, bone caving in behind his left ear and bleeding brain, broken nose, dislocated cheekbone, and injured eye.
[541] You want to call him an a hole.
[542] I've apparently disowned a daughter.
[543] You know, there's all sorts of stuff.
[544] We don't know what she did, Mike.
[545] We, well, some people seem to think that they know and it would be really horrible if it were true.
[546] Injured lower chin.
[547] What's your upper chin?
[548] Amin is in the tank for Jackie Chan and he will defend him at all costs just because of his filmography.
[549] I know, man, because I saw a video not too long ago of him being surprised by his stunt team.
[550] Like he was on a talk show, a Chinese talk show.
[551] And then they brought his stunt team out from behind him as he was watching like clips or something.
[552] And then he turns around, they're all there.
[553] and he got so emotional because he talks about everyone, you know, praises me for what I did and I can't do it without an incredible team of people like these guys and to hear him get so emotional, man, I got emotional.
[554] You know I don't get emotional, but man, I got emotional.
[555] Jackie Chan, that man is a legend and a treasure.
[556] There's nothing you could tell me about Jackie Chan.
[557] I'll be like, oh, we got to cancel him.
[558] Nothing?
[559] Nothing.
[560] Nothing.
[561] That seems to be extreme there.
[562] Your love for Jackie Chan.
[563] I'm not going to ruin your heroes.
[564] It's so pure that you're saying that if you heard something that was bad about Jackie Chan, you wouldn't even be disappointed because you simply would reject it.
[565] You would say it is not true.
[566] I wouldn't believe it.
[567] He made Supercop.
[568] Supercop.
[569] He did make Supercop.
[570] Put it on the poll, please.
[571] At Lebitard show, is Jackie Chan a certified legend in the game?
[572] Oh, come on the poll.
[573] Have we ever had a 105 % comeback on the poll?
[574] Let's see.
[575] I think a lot of people, look, what I have realized in the rejection of expertise and the general ageism that's out there that dilutes the wisdom of elders is that young people will wave around a flag of ignorance on somebody whose career resume they're not familiar with.
[576] And next thing, you know, Robert De Niro can't make shit because his last 10 years of his filmography make it so that it's not any good anymore.
[577] 81 years old.
[578] Did you see him jumping into the water?
[579] We did.
[580] We played that.
[581] Well, plummeted.
[582] It was also just nominated for an Oscar.
[583] Yeah, but anything Scorsese makes.
[584] The only good things De Niro has made the last 10 years is it's things that Scorsese is involved.
[585] You weren't impressed by this?
[586] That was super impressive.
[587] That he fell in, plummeted into the water.
[588] And he survived it.
[589] You ever, like, I'm 38 years old.
[590] There are times that I'm tying my shoe.
[591] I'm like, am I going to be able to do this 10 years from now?
[592] Putting on socks is like a legit, like, why?
[593] is this this bothers me Mike I'll tell you right now you can do this when you're 80 he's just falling I mean it's just falling from a great height yeah but okay but he's not falling on concrete he's not falling on Tony's patch of well shorn land thank you whoever edited this video to make it starting with the fall is just like it couldn't have been better because originally you watch it you're like oh they started the video too late no that they started this video at the perfect time mid fall Tony has hit the note that's that's what the accompanying audio should be it shouldn't be some guys say whoa that's so brave or whatever the guy says I think that's a really that's a really impressive feat I think Mike this is an 80 year old man plummeting in a way that made him land on his neck in the water because his body just turned with gravity there was no grace in it it is just how a weight it is how a weight would fall that wasn't breathing It looked like it would hurt.
[594] His arms and legs are like still as he falls.
[595] Usually there's like some sort of like...
[596] I would look no better.
[597] I would look no better.
[598] Wait, wait.
[599] This is not an insult of Robert De Niro.
[600] There's a certain sturdy thickness to this.
[601] It's like Greg Cody falling.
[602] It does.
[603] But can you imagine Greg doing that?
[604] I'd be genuinely worried.
[605] I would be very worried.
[606] I think that there was a chance.
[607] You can't count it out.
[608] Greg would die as a result of this stunt.
[609] Did you guys know that in the Chinese, the Mandarin version of Beauty and the Beast, the Disney animated movie, Jackie Chan played The Beast?
[610] Come on, guys.
[611] I'm going to do this to Greg Cody at his 70th birthday party.
[612] It's going to, I've asked for a film crew to come.
[613] I've asked.
[614] Hey, Greg, come out here for a second.
[615] I want to show you something.
[616] I want to show you something down there.
[617] He'd love it.
[618] I caution you guys that you have to ask Greg Cody first because the diva in him sometimes.
[619] if everybody wants something, he will just reject it because he wants to be the guy who's in charge of things.
[620] And he's very capable of not wanting a film crew because he's going to get drunk and he's going to get, he's going to embarrass himself.
[621] Like that's a for sure.
[622] It's a for sure.
[623] He's going to start drinking too early in the day.
[624] He's going to be a combination of excited, but also weirdly shy around a whole bunch of people that he actually knows.
[625] and he's going to start drinking and retreating.
[626] It's my birthday.
[627] I can have a couple before the boat.
[628] No problem.
[629] Next thing you know, reenactment.
[630] Next thing you know, he's knocking the paintings off the wall at my brother's first arted exhibition because he's had too much red wine.
