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.

[10] Proximo.
[11] Jersey City, New Jersey, please drink responsibly.
[12] Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by Draft Kings.
[13] Why are you listening to this show?
[14] The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast.
[15] I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.
[16] In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.
[17] I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there.
[18] That hasn't happened to you guys?
[19] I've done it.
[20] And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
[21] Friendly reminder to our audience, you can catch our stuff in several places here on YouTube, on Drag Kings Network.
[22] We are going to close out our hour that is available on Max, the streaming service with David Samson, who is pointing to his ear right now, who apparently can't hear me, and Adnan Verk.
[23] So I'll probably begin with Adnan briefly.
[24] We were just talking about the trade deadline.
[25] You recently won an for all your fine work over at MLB Network Adnan.
[26] Congratulations on.
[27] Thank you, Mike.
[28] There was a big trade yesterday that we just got the skinny on.
[29] Are there any other big names?
[30] We talked about a Rosarena.
[31] Are there any other big names that even I might know that might be moving destinations here as we lean on your MLB Network Emmy Award winning expertise?
[32] Thank you for mentioning the Emmy.
[33] I appreciate that.
[34] Takes a village.
[35] July 30th trade deadline.
[36] I'll be on air from 1 to 4 Eastern.
[37] I think the big names that you would know, Mike, listen, the White Sox are on the verge of breaking the record for the most losses in a single season.
[38] They're on pace for 120, which would tie as far as futility is concerned in a single year.
[39] So they're going to deal.
[40] Eric Prochay has 150 strikeouts.
[41] He's in a legit ace.
[42] He's going to go somewhere.
[43] Luis Robert is obviously a very good slugger.
[44] He's hurt too much.
[45] He strikes out too much.
[46] But he's going to go and closer to home, Jazz Chisholm, I think, is going to get moved.
[47] And a quick thought on Randy Rosarena.
[48] That Seattle offense is absolutely putrid.
[49] Hillary Rodriguez is out right now, but he's been banged up and disappointed.
[50] much of the season.
[51] Their entire offense is league average.
[52] Rosarita, by the way, has not had a great season.
[53] Recently, he's been better, but any sort of addition, it will help that Mariners team and their pitching is electric.
[54] So good move for sale to do something to help that moribund offense.
[55] Adnan, you mentioned Garrett Crochet and David, I'm interested in your take on this story because there was a report yesterday that Crochet will not pitch into the postseason for whoever trades for him if he doesn't get to sign an extension with that team.
[56] The report also said that won't move to the bullpen if the team wants him to move to the bullpen as someone operating in a front office like how do you look at that when you're making that move and what are your thoughts on that report i did not mince words on nothing personal i went on my board crossed him off there is that was a expert level you you found a way to work in your throat clearing into like a sight gag that was good work right there david yeah it's outrageous I have no idea who this guy thinks he is.
[57] Opening day pitcher for the worst team in baseball.
[58] Yeah, he's got a bunch of K's, but his agent and he have decided they have the right plan.
[59] And the plan is, and this guy is, he's pitched 12 innings last year.
[60] His plan is, you better pay me and guarantee my money or I will not pitch for you in October, so you better not trade for me. Guess what?
[61] Stay with the White Sox.
[62] Good luck, have fun.
[63] There should be zero teams.
[64] As many teams should want to trade for, this guy as the number of teams who want to sign Trevor Bauer, zero, a donut.
[65] And to David's point, how refreshing was this yesterday, Dylan C's throws a no hitter after 94 pitches and seven innings.
[66] Mike Schilt says to him, nice job.
[67] And Cs says to him, David, hey, can I stay in there?
[68] And he's like, all right, we'll see what we can do.
[69] He threw 114 pitches and threw a no hitter.
[70] Years ago, he'd go, 94 pitches, seven innings.
[71] Of course he's he's staying in the game.
[72] Now you have a no hitter.
[73] Wait, there was a no hitter yesterday?
[74] Yeah, Dylan Cs threw a no hitter.
[75] We had live on MLB Network is in the final three out.
[76] It's the second no -hitter in Padre's history, and they had none for like 40 years.
[77] Correct.
[78] And they've had two.
[79] Joe Musgrove in 21 and now cease yesterday.
[80] Zero for 52 years.
[81] But David, they actually let a guy throw 114 pitches.
[82] Oh, my God.
[83] What remarkable event.
[84] There was a no -hitter yesterday.
[85] It's like baseball sent a cease and desist for people talking about this.
[86] I didn't use that line with him, Jessica.
[87] I want to interview him after the game.
[88] He gave a little smile.
[89] David, I do want to say on the White Sox before we pick.
[90] pivot to movies real quick.
[91] The White Sox, not a great stadium situation.
[92] I've seen them kind of do the thing whenever you're trying to get a new stadium, which is leak out the possibility of, hey, this franchise might move.
[93] Does this one have a bit more weight in that Chicago randomly has two baseball teams?
[94] Now, they've shown historically that they can support them, but that thought is dwindling, especially since the Cubs really took over that town with their World Series win.
[95] Is there actually juice to the possibility of the Chicago White Sox no longer being the Chicago White Sox.
[96] Yeah, the juice comes from death.
[97] So here's the Jerry Rinesdorf plan.
[98] He said that when I croak, my son's going to keep the bulls, but we're selling the White Sox, meaning the estate.
[99] And if there's no new stadium, the buyer may buy the team to move it.
[100] So if you want to make sure the White Sox stay, give me $2 billion before I die.
[101] That's been his approach.
[102] So far, it hasn't quite worked.
[103] but we'll see.
[104] How does Major League Baseball feel about the possibility of the second franchise and the second city possibly moving?
[105] Do you think that they would push back on that?
[106] There is zero chance of the White Sox moving.
[107] Jerry Reinsdorf met with the Nashville mayor.
[108] It was just for fun.
[109] It got a lot of attention.
[110] There's so many Chicago teams, the Bears, the White Sox are looking for public money.
[111] The Bulls and the Blackhawks are doing a huge deal that they announced was a $7 billion, private redevelopment around the United Center, but of course they need public money as well.
[112] So there will be decisions that are going to be made, but the White Sox will get their stadium because what is it now?
[113] Guaranteed Ratefield.
[114] No, I don't even know what it's called.
[115] Is that it now?
[116] I think it's guaranteed Rayfield, yeah.
[117] It's, it's terrible.
[118] We hated playing there.
[119] We had to go there.
[120] You had to go there for a hurricane and it totally nuked your like wildcard chances.
[121] It was unreal.
[122] And we had to stay like an hour away.
[123] There were no hotels.
[124] And it wasn't a real team hotel.
[125] They didn't have the right room service.
[126] So the union and us, we had to make a deal where we had food brought into this horrible hotel to act like room service.
[127] And then we lost the games and we didn't make the playoffs.
[128] It sucked.
[129] I'm curious.
[130] I don't know if you covered this on nothing personal, but a French football team of repute had to shudder, Bordeaux.
[131] This was a team that when I first got into soccer, they were flirting with Europe.
[132] They had produced pretty good players.
[133] and in the French League, they had to shudder their doors.
[134] A big club in France is now no more.
[135] And it's because of the promotion relegation system over there.
[136] If you can't count on European dollars coming in, it's going to be a lot harder to keep up all the expenses of that franchise.
[137] What do you make of a French football team that is pretty known and famous having to close?
[138] And will we ever see that day here in the United States?
[139] I will never forget the show that you, And I and Whittingham did about, I don't remember when that was.
[140] It may have been a COVID show.
[141] We talked about the possibility of relegation and promotion in U .S. sports.
[142] And we all agreed unanimously.
[143] You can't do it because the cost of these franchises assume certain guaranteed revenue streams.
[144] And you can't have those revenue streams just disappear because you stink for a couple of years or one year with relegation.
[145] And so it would not sustain itself.
[146] You wouldn't get the votes for it in any of the leagues.
[147] I'm shocked that that happened, but to me that could be the beginning of the end of relegation over there because these asset valuations keep going up.
[148] I think relegation has to disappear.
[149] That's kind of a bummer because many people like the consequences that come with that.
[150] But unfortunately, for fans of that club, one of the consequences is your club is no more.
[151] That club is in France, so are the Olympics.
[152] And we have, I guess, an Olympic tie to our top fives.
[153] Per the tradition, we will begin with David Sampson and leave Adnan, Verk, about 40 seconds.
[154] Did I get that one right?
[155] Nailed it, Mike.
[156] Alpha Brain.
[157] It's working, baby.
[158] It's working, baby.
[159] Way to go, Mike.
[160] All right.
[161] Top five movies to celebrate opening ceremonies, which start in just a few hours today, July 26th.
[162] Top five Olympic movies of all time.
[163] Number five, Miracle.
[164] So it's Olympic movies and not movies about France, because I was going to get really upset that forget Paris wasn't in this.
[165] No, Billy Crystal.
[166] It's a great movie, but no, it is not movies about France because I would then do something's got to give.
[167] But no, it's not that.
[168] All right, so Miracle is the first one.
[169] Sorry to cut you off there.
[170] Number four, Prefontein.
[171] No, that is worthy.
[172] That's Prefontein.
[173] That's Jared Lito.
[174] That's a guy.
[175] That's sad.
[176] There's two movies about it.
[177] Watch the one that's called Prefontaine with Jared Lito.
[178] Ed O 'Neill, you're going to be happy.
[179] Jared Leto, but okay.
[180] Leto, excuse me, thank you, number three.
[181] What is it, wait, wait, I don't know about this movie.
[182] What does it have to do with the Olympics?
[183] He's a runner.
[184] He's a runner in the Munich Olympics.
[185] Okay, cool.
[186] Well said.
[187] You've never heard of Prefontein?
[188] No, no. He's a cross -country runner, right?
[189] Billy Fontein.
[190] Wow.
[191] Billis in on it, yeah.
[192] Number three is a current movie, The Boys in the Boat.
[193] Oh.
[194] It's a fantastic book.
[195] It's a fantastic movie.
[196] George Clooney directed it.
[197] It is about people, crew.
[198] It's about rowing.
[199] It's about Hitler, Berlin.
[200] You may want to watch it.
[201] No, the first part, David, you were right.
[202] It's a fantastic book.
[203] It's not a fantastic movie.
[204] It was absolutely pedestrian and workmanlike.
[205] And further proves that Clooney, as great as star as he is, is a very average director.
[206] There was a great critic who pointed out.
[207] There's never been a movie that's featured more clapping in a movie ever.
[208] The extras must have been exhausted by the end of it.
[209] A lot of clapping for a very average movie.
[210] Mediocre film.
[211] I'm shocked you put it at number three.
[212] It's a great story.
[213] it's not a great movie good night and good luck that's a great movie number two icarus if you're looking for a documentary about the olympics and you want to learn about doping and find out how much cheating the russians did it will blow your mind icarus watch it if you haven't one of the greatest documentaries maybe ever all right david keep it going and the number one movie is called munich you can imagine what that's about some bad things things may have happened.
[214] There's a whole bunch of movies about this.
[215] The best one is for me, Munich.
[216] But if you're looking for one of these five, I should have done it opposite, actually.
[217] Watch Icarus if that's the only time you have.
[218] All right.
[219] That's David Samson.
[220] Thank you guys so much for taking the time out to do your top five list.
[221] We really, wait, Mike, I've got to fly through my five right now.
[222] Come on.
[223] Let's be on 40 seconds here.
[224] Number five, chariots of fire.
[225] Better song than movie.
[226] Fair point.
[227] Vangelis, great score.
[228] Probably shouldn't have one best picture against Reds or Litters the Lost Ark, but 1924 Olympics, passion story, et cetera.
[229] Number four, Foxcatcher.
[230] I mean, John DePaul, right?
[231] Steve Carell, Mike, disturbing movie.
[232] Steve Carell, with one of like the all -time disturbing performances and truly a heartbreaking actual true story, tragic.
[233] Disgusting.
[234] Mark Ruffalo Oscar, nominee was great.
[235] Number three, underrated film, downhill racer.
[236] Robert Redford did all of his own skiing.
[237] Of course, you know how much he loves Utah, but he did his all his own skiing, plays.
[238] an aloof Olympic skier.
[239] It's the best movie about skiing you'll ever see.
[240] Michael Ritchie directed it.
[241] Great POV shots.
[242] You should look it up.
[243] It's not even as good as Eddie the Eagle.
[244] Downhill Racer.
[245] I'm surprised that didn't make the top five for you.
[246] Number two, Cody's going to love it.
[247] Cool running.
[248] Let's go.
[249] Yeah, I was hoping.
[250] Jamaican bobsled team, the late great John Candy playing the coach.
[251] Unbelievable movie underrated.
[252] And number one, I, Tanya.
[253] Are you kidding?
[254] Margo Robbie was sensational.
[255] Allison Janie won an Academy Award.
[256] Funny movie.
[257] disturbing.
[258] I tanya was fantastic.
[259] No D2.
[260] What are you guys doing?
[261] Chris.
[262] Hit King.
[263] That's not actually an Olympic movie.
[264] It's not an Olympic movie.
[265] It's a Junior Goodwill Games.
[266] Right.
[267] That's the Olympics.
[268] That's not the Olympics.
[269] It's not the Olympics.
[270] They play Iceland.
[271] Let's go shake their hands.
[272] Thank you, David.
[273] Catch us up with nothing personal.
[274] And thank you, Adnan.
[275] Emmy Award winner.

[289] Don Lebertard.
[290] We didn't get to your guys as against the spread.
[291] You're right.
[292] You're right.
[293] You're right.
[294] I don't have it against the spread because I wasn't prepared for this segment.
[295] You need an Ian in your life.
[296] You have actively played defense against me today in a way that has rarely been this undercutting.
[297] Stugats.
[298] Defense wins championships, baby.
[299] That's show business.
[300] This is the Don Lebatar show with a Stugats.
[301] Tony, I'm seeing the promos for it in our YouTube live breaks.
[302] You got an MMA hangout or a place that.
[303] that I haven't had the pleasure of going to, but I've heard really great things.
[304] What can you tell me about it?
[305] USC 304, MMA Hangout is going to Casa Tiki on Cahe Ocho.
[306] Friends of the show, they love the show.
[307] We're going to go over there and hang out.
[308] I have also not been there.
[309] I've seen pictures.
[310] I know people that have been there.
[311] I like a good Tiki bar, man. Me too.
[312] Whatever happened to the Tiki bar?
[313] Well, Casatiki has brought it back.
[314] It's a great aesthetic.
[315] There's a really good one in Brower, too.
[316] I'd been to that one.
[317] I've been to that one.
[318] Did the Tiki bar leave us?
[319] In Miami, we've never really had a good Tiki bar.
[320] We've never really.
[321] In Broward, there was one, and I go there for the occasional live local rock band, but I'm happy.
[322] Just said Monty's, but Montes isn't a Tiki bar.
[323] No, that's not a Tiki bar.
[324] That's just a...
[325] A Tiki bar leans in.
[326] Right.
[327] Like, we need Tiki things.
[328] Preferably, if you have Tiki in the name, that's great.
[329] Casa Tiki.
[330] Yeah.
[331] This Saturday, UFC 304, 10 p .m. start.
[332] I feel bad because in Great Britain, where they're actually having the card, they're doing it to accommodate us here in the United States, so it's a 10 p .m. start here, 3 a .m. start main card in London.
[333] They typically don't do that for London, for like marquee European cities whenever they do these cards.
[334] Like sometimes they'll do that in like Dubai.
[335] Why can't they just start it at 7 p .m. here?
[336] No, that's stupid.
[337] I don't know.
[338] That's stupid.
[339] Why does it have to be so late?
[340] Combat sports are notoriously late.
[341] It's a late night.
[342] Well, because I think historically because the mecca of combat sports is Las Vegas.
[343] But this one's not in Las Vegas.
[344] I know, but I think, like, primetime Vegas time is when they do all combat sports.
[345] I don't know the logic.
[346] I'm theorizing, but I think that's what it is.
[347] It's like Las Vegas is the center of the combat sports universe.
[348] There's prelims, too, and then there's early prelims.
[349] So if you want to have the main card start at 7 o 'clock, then you have to have...
[350] Is Edwards on this card?
[351] Yeah, it's Leon Edwards versus Bilal Muhammad, obviously hometown boy.
[352] We should make it a morning sport.
[353] everything starts at like 6 a .m. main card by noon.
[354] There are like, there have been the occasional like morning cards.
[355] Those are done over like Fight Island like Abu Dhabi.
[356] Such a bad vibe.
[357] Combat sports need to be like you go to a blast area, you go to Casatiki, you get one or two drinks in you.
[358] And then you're like, ah, I don't know anything about this.
[359] Punch each other in the face.
[360] Exactly right.
[361] That's what's great about it.
[362] Now Edwards is a curious case because he was a bit of a journeyman and he didn't have this superlative win -loss record.
[363] And then he kind of figured something out.
[364] And he had a huge upset, and I thought, okay, we've seen this story before.
[365] A guy, like the Rocky Underdog story becomes champ, and then they immediately lose.
[366] And they immediately lose.
[367] And that's not the case.
[368] Edwards has gotten himself.
[369] He's only gotten better since the Usman fight.
[370] He's now in the conversation for pound for pound.
[371] Like, the funny thing about Edwards is, like you said, Mike, he was a journeyman.
[372] The UFC didn't really want to give him the time of day to give him those championship fights.
[373] They thought he was kind of boring.
[374] They thought he really didn't have a story around him.
[375] It's kind of like the pro wrestling aspect of like, you have to have.
[376] to have some sort of...
[377] In danger of getting cut.
[378] Yes, right.
[379] You have to have...
[380] It's the Colby Covington theory, right?
[381] Nobody would care about Colby if he didn't lean so hard into the maga thing.
[382] He would just be a pedestrian wrestler guy.
[383] His fight style is particularly boring.
[384] Exactly.
[385] He'd be a pedestrian wrestler and be like, okay, this guy will be out of the UFC in three years.
[386] But the moment that, again, revision is history.
[387] But when we look back, Leon Edwards was losing that fight to Kamar Usman every round.
[388] Yeah.
[389] Like, it was over for Leon.
[390] I know.
[391] I was on Usman.
[392] I know.
[393] And then that left kick.
[394] Headshot, bang, it was over, and Leon from that moment has been an incredible fighter.
[395] Again, he's only defended the title twice, but looking back, that's when the line of demarcation for Leon Edwards was right there at that moment at in Salt Lake City.
[396] When that left kick came out and at Usman, now he's almost celebrated by the UFC.
[397] Yeah, no, he's a complete fighter.
[398] He's great to watch now all of a sudden, and improbably, you never really see guys like.
[399] that make their way into pound -for -pound discussion.
[400] And he's there.
[401] And the funny thing is, he's fighting a guy in Bala Muhammad, who is a good fighter in his own right, but again, is having the same treatment that Leon Rocky Edwards got because nobody wants to see Bala Muhammad win the Walterway title.
[402] Actually, you know what?
[403] I have a chance to make this card because I was like, I have a thing.
[404] And the thing is Leagues Cup, but by the time that thing ends, I can make the drive down and be there in time for the Edwards fight.
[405] We'd love to have you.
[406] I'm going to try my best to make it to Casatiki for this MMA hangout.
[407] What else is on the card?
[408] Tommy Aspinall, heavyweight champ of the world right now interim basis.
[409] Obviously, we know John Jones is the heavyweight title holder, but he's the interim heavyweight title holder fighting against Curtis Blades, a good knockout artist.
[410] I think Tommy Aspinon is going to wipe the floor with him.
[411] And we have Paddy the Batty versus Bobby King Green, who now goes by King Green.
[412] In great shape, Patty.
[413] Nobody fluctuates in weight quite like Patty Pimble.
[414] You see him just on a regular day.
[415] Dan.
[416] I'm up there too, pal.
[417] No, but not, I don't see you with the six -pack after.
[418] I don't see you off the six -pack.
[419] Oh, you should have seen my COVID body.
[420] Six -pack?
[421] Well, not like 20, 2019 was a good year.
[422] I remember.
[423] Yeah, anxiety.
[424] Bad for your health.
[425] Good for the abs.
[426] So it's a good card up and down.
[427] It's going to be fun.
[428] I don't know what the atmosphere is going to feel like when the card starts at 3 o 'clock in the morning in Great Britain.
[429] But the vibes are going to be good.
[430] Gassatiki's going to be going up, and we'd love to see you there.
[431] All right.
[432] Well, I'm going to do my best.
[433] I got a loaded Saturday.
[434] I got a nephew's birthday.
[435] I got a Deadpool screening.
[436] I got Leagues Cup, which I'm super excited about.
[437] I'm not going to try to get buy -in anywhere here.
[438] Billy, you'd be happy to know that Messi was announced on the team sheet, which opens up the possibility for him to return during this competition.
[439] I guess it would have to be a pretty deep run.
[440] They opened things up against Puebla.
[441] A team that was a little feisty in last year's Leagues Cup competition.
[442] For me, as someone that follows MLS and League amechis, to have one World Cup tournament that basically has both leagues facing off.
[443] Sometimes you have MLS versus MLS and sometimes you have League of Emekis, but last year was a bit unfair with some of the host cities.
[444] I think they've kind of fixed that a little bit and I'm excited to watch this.
[445] Are you excited about the specter of Messing possibly returning?
[446] We'll see.
[447] Yeah, hopefully.
[448] I mean, I'm glad he's finally taking things seriously potential for return here.
[449] We'll see what happens.
[450] I've got to defend their league, Inter Miami is the only Leaks Cup champion.
[451] There's ever been.
[452] he be like close to coming back when the last time we saw him his ankle was the width of his head yeah he was he's in walking boot i think still but it's a high ankle sprain in the NFL that's usually what six weeks this is like a month long competition the timeline works out that he might be available provided that they make it to a final now he has to be on the on the provided roster for him to make an appearance there and you have to cap that and you have to make some decisions so they thought just the chance of him possibly making the appearance was more important than just putting another player's name out there.
[453] I'm excited for this competition.
[454] I'll be going to that.
[455] I'm also watching Deadpool versus Wolverine.
[456] It's Deadpool and Wolverine versus that title got shelved.
[457] I know Mike Fuentes saw it and I could see him like biting his lip.
[458] He wanted to give me spoilers.
[459] I hear that spoilers are a very big deal with this, but I'm excited about that.
[460] Back to back weeks.
[461] I'm going to big time box office movies.
[462] So between all that, we got the Olympic Mike, how is Twister?
[463] I haven't talked about Twister.
[464] You saw Twisters?
[465] Yeah, I saw it at 40X.
[466] It was awesome.
[467] Fuentes also picked up like these, Chris, can you get me some of the magnets?
[468] It's behind the desktop computer.
[469] So like Glenn Powell drives this badass truck in it.
[470] And it's, no, nothing that you can have sex with anyways.
[471] But you can't have sex with the Wolverine popcorn bucket that was designed for this movie.
[472] Fuentes got me a car magnet for my Jeep.
[473] Looks like the Bulls logo.
[474] Sees and desist.
[475] It's a, well, it's like a Texan.
[476] The rock logo.
[477] It's a long horn with a twister in the middle.
[478] I love that.
[479] So Twisters was great.
[480] And 40X is like a thing.
[481] People are like, you got to see it in 40X.
[482] That's how I saw it.
[483] It was a really enjoyable experience that way.
[484] But I'm worried.
[485] He still called it 40 Twitter back here, okay?
[486] Where did he get that from?
[487] He got this.
[488] It was like a promo display.
[489] So I guess they didn't spend their money on popcorn buckets, Billy.
[490] They decided to spend their money on car magnet.
[491] So you could look like Glenn Powell's car.
[492] He went to, He went to the Deadpool movie yesterday, and at the movie theater, they just had a table where these were sprawled out.
[493] And he knew that I liked Twister, so he very, uh...
[494] You can put it on your car?
[495] My wife got excited about it.
[496] You know, this is a, it's a cool little logo.
[497] I was a big Twisters guy.
[498] I liked it, but I think that the, uh...
[499] Do I need to see the first twister?
[500] No, no, and it's a shame.
[501] It's a real shame because there was ample opportunity for callbacks to the first one.
[502] And there was, like, the occasional Easter egg.
[503] like Dorothy the vessel in which they put up like all these little flying things for the data there's like if you remember in the original movie it was Dorothy one through four you see Dorothy five and all these other Dorotheys but not a lot of callbacks it's also a little tougher since Bill Paxson has moved on any May references no dude I thought like I thought all right certainly someone here is related to Helen Hunt.
[504] Any references to when Roy referenced it that one time they didn't they didn't do you haven't seen it It missed this house.
[505] It missed that house and comes straight after you.
[506] What I liked about this film in particular is we're starting to see climate change climb into disaster movies.
[507] And, you know, this is a generational season for Twisters and climate change is to blame for it.
[508] But they actually decide to fight climate change by actively fighting the climate.
[509] See, and that's kind of where I'm at with the sun.
[510] Wait, to try to nuke the tornado?
[511] essentially and it's a real cool way that they do it so doesn't vote all for the election i i actually i'm you can't put the toothpaste back into the tube you can try to mitigate global warming but it's a it's a very difficult thing to police because usually the response whenever i tell someone that doesn't care that much about climate change is like you have to do something and they're like what do you do about india what do you do about china i'm like i i don't know man uh and then the debate ends.
[512] But so after being tired of that, I'm like, okay, this thing's coming.
[513] Tides are going to rise, storms are going to get worse.
[514] What do we do to fight these things?
[515] Everyone's talking about preventative measures.
[516] We need to pivot to solutions and winning the war against the climate at this point.
[517] Because if it's ramping up, it's aggression, we need to fight it.
[518] So that's what you fight climate change by actively fighting the climate.
[519] Well, the good thing is we've already won the war against the whales.
[520] I'm going to say that now.
[521] We won.
[522] I mean, you lose a war to a 19 -year -old boy in a boat.
[523] Like, that's not a good sign.
[524] So get this.
[525] This is not a spoiler because the movie kind of opens with this.
[526] Their whole theory on how to weaken a tornado is by taking the material it's inside of a diaper and just...
[527] Poop?
[528] No, not poop.
[529] The thing, the absorbent materials...
[530] Like the fluffy stuff?
[531] The absorbent materials that are inside of a diaper.
[532] Like a maxi pad.
[533] Kind of.
[534] Yes.
[535] Yeah.
[536] But I guess a diaper.
[537] were you know conjured up somehow a nicer image than than a maxi pad and all that material they would just put in the way in the track of the the tornado tornado would suck up this stuff that historically dry stuff out and then it would weaken the storm you know they fight the climate they fight climate change we were riffing on maxi pads back here I'm sorry well I'm sure that was one of the solutions and they're like we can't do maxi pads that's too gross baby diapers it's fine, because sometimes there's peepy in it.
[538] Hmm.
[539] But I don't think...
[540] I can't repeat what I said earlier.
[541] I don't think...
[542] Smegmatana.
[543] We're all workshopping here.
[544] I think week two...
[545] I regret that.
[546] I'm sorry.
[547] I regret that he said that.
[548] Cut that.
[549] We're live, baby.

[567] Don Libetard.
[568] You were that kind of sad this morning taking the barrage of anger from Stugats because you hadn't booked him enough interviews.
[569] The only reason I keep bringing this up is because you not are throwing a big party on Thursday.
[570] You're doing it.
[571] And I want people to support what you're doing because Stugats has not made this easy.
[572] Stugats.
[573] Well, you know, I, well, yeah, you know.
[574] This is the Don Levitar show with a Stugatz.
[575] I think week two in the box office is going to be a rough one for Twisters though because Deadpool and Wolverine is out.
[576] And everybody that has grown frustrated or even still has hope for Marvel.
[577] is kind of hoping that this thing does well.
[578] Is anyone else going to see this movie?
[579] I'm seeing it tonight.
[580] Oh, you're going?
[581] I'm very excited.
[582] Although I never saw the first one.
[583] I've just heard good things about Glenn Powell.
[584] And generally, not a lot of things to do in Miami in July.
[585] It is brutal out there.
[586] It is very hot.
[587] Sitting in a movie theater, maybe the only option.
[588] Well, pretty soon we're going to have to be boarding up and stalking foods.
[589] Have you seen these Costco doomsday?
[590] Boom!
[591] Have you seen the...
[592] I'm scared Willow.
[593] Have you seen the Costco doomsday thing?
[594] They're selling like these doomsday packs at Costco.
[595] Doomsday.
[596] For like 80 bucks.
[597] Thank you for your restraint.
[598] You're not familiar with this?
[599] They have like these Armageddon packs at Costco that you can buy for $80, which is like this big bin of non -perishable food that will last like 25 years.
[600] They're selling pretty well.
[601] As you can expect in an election year, especially in this country.
[602] One thing you can do in July is go to the MMA Hangout at Casa Tiki presented by Cuervo.
[603] We didn't promote it enough.
[604] By Cuervo.
[605] Apparently not.
[606] Oh, so yes, we did not promote it enough.
[607] Is diaper lining a thing we can throw at the hurricanes, too?
[608] Whoa.
[609] That's...
[610] I think we gave that too much reaction.
[611] Oh.
[612] I meant the Miami Hurricanes, of course.
[613] Oh, hey.
[614] All you need to do is, like, have clock management be there.
[615] And now we've thrown a two -minute warning into the mix, so it's only going to be more confusing.
[616] Oh, God, no. It's one of, like, look, it's fair game, even though that was not a fumble.
[617] I'll just say that.
[618] I got that defensive stuff out of the way.
[619] It wasn't a fumble.
[620] But even when you play the CFB game and a player Niels, they talk about, well, I hope Miami's taking note.
[621] Do you tell that to Miami, Georgia Tech?
[622] I'm like, guys, like, I can't.
[623] They built in Miami Nags into the game.
[624] Yeah, yeah.
[625] I need to get this game.
[626] I'm telling you, it's the best sports game ever made.
[627] When you consider the expectations, the hopes of what it had to live up to and the fact that it's a very tricky sport to try to make a game around, it's the best sports game.
[628] of all time.
[629] Tony, is that a hot take?
[630] No, it's incredible.
[631] The gameplay, even when you run, you feel the gallop on the controller of them running.
[632] It's just an incredible thing.
[633] The Dynasty mode, the transfer portal, the way you recruit kids, like all of that stuff is amazing.
[634] Oh, God, no. When you have your baby, can I borrow your game system?
[635] I'm going to be playing more.
[636] You are.
[637] You are.
[638] Jeremy, you try to...
[639] It's impossible to play more when you have a baby.
[640] I keep telling you.
[641] I'm trying to give you realistic expectations.
[642] Now's your time, man. It's not.
[643] It's not.
[644] I know.
[645] It's the haters that want me to not play anymore.
[646] That's what it is.
[647] The haters want you to be a good parent.
[648] That's absurd.
[649] You're going to be a better parent because of gaming.
[650] Thank you.
[651] I had the struggle of, I went and set up my home office because we recently moved and I was setting up my home office and I went and got my system out of the boxes that we had everything in and set up the TV and was all excited finally, you know, put frames on the wall, everything.
[652] I'm ready to go sit and play the games.
[653] games on the wall.
[654] I update.
[655] I update the system.
[656] It took hours to update.
[657] Because you hadn't turned it on in a while.
[658] Because I hadn't turned it on in a while.
[659] And I was so excited to go play college football 25 and then realized that my Xbox one was not compatible with the game.
[660] Oh, no. And I did not know that before the moment that I went to go purchase it.
[661] And now I'm left with the decision of, do I spend $500 on the PS5?
[662] Gotta do some research on that one.
[663] Honestly, honestly, if it's even worse, is that I just kind of didn't realize what specific Xbox system I had.
[664] And so when I went to turn it on, I was like, oh, surely this will work.
[665] And I went to the online store, and I see it there, and I scroll over to buy, and then there's just in little tiny red font, not compatible with this system.
[666] It was, I was saying it, honestly, this year, in terms of devastating moments, it's like Jimmy Butler's ankle turn number one, that number two.
[667] Yeah, you got to get a PS5, because I made the move from Xbox 1 to PS5.
[668] did I. Yeah, it's just the superior console.
[669] It's just about whether or not that investment.
[670] It's worth it.
[671] It's worth it.
[672] Oh, God.
[673] I don't know.
[674] It's like the PS6 coming.
[675] Yeah, that's what saying.
[676] I'm like, hurricane shutters.
[677] Probably like two years.
[678] But now, like, I was away from gaming for so long.
[679] And I had to figure out so many things that made me feel old about the PS5.
[680] That it was literally troubleshooting for like two years for this moment.
[681] But it was all worth it.
[682] Tony, you'd be happy to know that you're a Canon athletic director in my dynasty.
[683] Wow, thank you, buddy.
[684] Peter Arese's Liberty has you as its athletic director.
[685] Anytime I see it.
[686] I got rid of you freeze.
[687] Yeah, yeah.
[688] You brought in the Reverend Jefferson Montgomery, who made it to a national title game and then got blown out by Jeremiah Smith, who's a cheat coach.
[689] Oh, come on.
[690] Or the head coach.
[691] No, he's a Canon, he's a Canaan athletic director.
[692] Reverend Jefferson Montgomery is the head coach over at Liberty.
[693] You're a place, Ken Star, I believe.
[694] Yeah, look, it's...
[695] On the up and up, baby.
[696] Everything there is pretty on brand, so much so that the Reverend got pulled over for a DUI off a lime scooter outside of Buffalo Wild Wings.
[697] It bills a molly.
[698] That weren't his.
[699] I looked the other way, by the way.
[700] He beat the case.
[701] He beat the case.
[702] What do you think he did?
[703] Yeah, but I had, as I mentioned, a great night last night and finally doing off -season mode, which is I was looking forward, looking more towards off -season mode than actually playing the game, because some of my fondest memories was just getting on the headset, eating shit with my boys, and just doing the off -season recruiting cycle.
[704] And we had the transfer portal this year.
[705] Everything about it was great.
[706] Love the off -season, love the shit talk, love all the banter, love that we got nine dudes all on the same calendar and got to do that.
[707] And I loved my routine.
[708] I cracked open a Miller light and I sucked on a nicotine pouch.
[709] And I was loving life.
[710] Now, nicotine, as you know, highly addictive.
[711] Part of cigarettes, it's ruined so many things here.
[712] So if you're at all triggered about the nicotine and tobacco industry, I would say, fast forward because I'm going to say things about it that aren't going to paint it in the way that it's usually been painted.
[713] Ready?
[714] Have you fast -forwarded yet?
[715] It's going to be a minute.
[716] I want to talk about a great American underdog story.
[717] Philip Morris, well, welcome back to the conversation.
[718] You know, a lot of people have said bad things about you, and a lot of them are very true.
[719] but Philip Morris is building its first new factory since 1973.
[720] As you know in this country since the 90s, cigarette smoking, and we talked about smoking sections, it's all gone away, because rightfully, bad for you, terrible for you, cigarettes, bad, says it on the label.
[721] You could die if you smoke cigarettes.
[722] So, Philip Morris has found a way to bounce back.
[723] Why are they building their first new factory since 1973?
[724] Zins.
[725] Now, Chris Cody, you, look like a textbook Zinn brother but you told me you're not familiar at all with Zins.
[726] It's one of these things that I've been embarrassed for a while now because I like you said I'm around this world.
[727] I'm around people that have Zinn and I'm like and in my mind without ever asking or doing research I've just assumed it's the evolution of dipping like tobacco.
[728] You'd say you're Zinn -A -J -Zint.
[729] Right.
[730] You get it.
[731] But apparently I'm wrong.
[732] It's just straight nicotine.
[733] It's just it's a little like Do you still spit with it?
[734] Like if I put a little Zin pouch in my lip.
[735] No spit.
[736] No spit.
[737] Okay.
[738] No spit.
[739] Which is I want to be very careful with my language because nicotine is highly addictive.
[740] It's bad.
[741] Nicotine, I, it is addictive.
[742] It's addictive.
[743] So why do I choose to Zin when I'm playing college football 25?
[744] There's a little bit of a buzz aspect to it.
[745] The old, the good old two beer buzz, like that's, if you do one and you hadn't done, in a while you'll get that two beer buzz but it's also like a little jolt of caffeine so i like it i can understand why people don't like it i'm a softy i just do the threes i've learned the hard way folks so zin for dummies if someone tries to hand you a six for your first time don't do it do not take it don't do not come don't don't do it i won't do that don't you training wheels with the threes you got to build up to that if you do a six or nine or As I've learned, there are much greater things.
[746] So in Chicago, one of my friends doesn't do zins.
[747] He does like the Swedish version of it because they're more potent.
[748] And I was informed that...
[749] Zins.
[750] They're fun to say.
[751] Sweden's.
[752] So Sweden has apparently come close to eliminating cigarette smoking because of how potent their nicotine pouches are.
[753] And if you've ever had a Swedish form of zin, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
[754] My friend handed me a 10, and I was at the Palmer House in Chicago, and I was drenched in sweat inside of five minutes.
[755] I had the Zin spins.
[756] It was a real bad situation.
[757] But there are some animals out there.
[758] And Roy, there is a Zen culture in hockey.
[759] The hockey players are insane.
[760] The stories that I've heard are just truly bewildering.
[761] So I was at a golf tournament recently.
[762] There was a hockey player that had a hockey player as a caddy.
[763] This hockey player caddy had a 10 of 45s.
[764] How do you even make them that strong?
[765] Who is that four?
[766] There's ones that are super strong.
[767] So like I this is all secondhand information.
[768] This was all relayed to me by Michael Lick Jr. who had heard this story from from this caddy who had 45s on him.
[769] And he's like, oh yeah.
[770] In hockey, it's a big thing.
[771] He said, I know several players that put pouches in between their toes for games.
[772] Get the pores, you know, they absorb the nicotine through their pores between their toes.
[773] What if I just held it in my hand for like an hour?
[774] If your hands get sweaty, like it would get into your bloodstream.
[775] Yeah.
[776] That'd be fun.
[777] I'll try that.
[778] Let me do some Zins through my hand.
[779] I don't know.
[780] I'll do it right now through my hand only.
[781] No, can you try between your toes?
[782] Let's put a couple of pouches.
[783] I'll put it anywhere.
[784] A couple pouches.
[785] I could not believe that.
[786] These guys have essentially like 50 zins, like running through their veins through the course of a hockey game.
[787] That can kill a horse.
[788] I can't kill a hockey player.
[789] Mike, you took a 10.
[790] Imagine four times that.
[791] I took a 10.
[792] I was sweaty.
[793] I was spinning everywhere.
[794] I had, you know, I felt good.
[795] I should have spit it out, you know, for like the 40 seconds that I was feeling good because that's always an option.
[796] occasionally now that you know what they kind of look like you'll see a fallen soldier here and there on the side of the street RIP but dude the Zinn spins are a very real thing and you don't have to be a super like tough guy about it if it's giving you the spin spit it out because it's going to take a minute for recovery but yeah that's only Zinn while CFB in and when I'm out with a big group of friends or if I'm out of WrestleMania which is the first time I did it makes a lot of sense for hockey players especially during playoff time I can see a little Give you a buzz.
[797] Caffeine jolt.
[798] Yeah.
[799] Especially put an overtime games.
[800] So this is not a personal endorsement.
[801] You can, I laid out my facts.
[802] You can do what you want.
[803] But apparently the margins for these, for these Zins are great.
[804] And it's bringing convenience stores back because if you go to a convenience store, you may or may not see Zinc.
[805] Well, down here.
[806] There's a great shortage, though.
[807] Yeah.
[808] Down here, it's not so much of an issue.
[809] But they have to build this new, this new factory to meet the demands.
[810] But they apparently make a dime.
[811] $1 .50 off of each tin of Zin, which is incredible because they make a dollar only off of a box of cigarettes, and there's so much that goes into making a cigarette.
[812] They're harvesting the tobacco.
[813] It's just, yeah, all that.
[814] Zins, it's like a little nicotine salt, a little flavor that they put in, like, chewing gum, and boom.
[815] So they make, they went from selling five million tins, boom!
[816] Five million tins a few years ago to what's happened, which has been this astronomical jump, they sell 550 million tins to die.
[817] Jeremy, clean this up for us.
