Hour 2: Happy Anniversary To The Montgomery Riverboat Brawl

[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.

[9] owned by Beckley, SAB, the CV, copyright 2024.

[10] Proximo.

[11] Jersey City, New Jersey.

[12] Please drink responsibly.

[13] This is the Dan Levatore show with the Stugats podcast.

[14] I want to ask the group about something because over the last couple of years, Roy has poured his heart and soul into a project that matters a lot to me and matters a lot to Metal Arc Media, but I'm not sure how much it matters to Stugats, to Billy, and to Mike.

[15] The hockey show?

[16] Not the hockey show.

[17] That is a different project that we've poured a lot into.

[18] Every Friday.

[19] Sometimes.

[20] Every Friday, sometimes.

[21] Every Friday, even during the off season?

[22] Yes, even the off -sons.

[23] What's happening right now?

[24] Nothing.

[25] Every Friday sometimes is what it was.

[26] When did it graduate to more often than every Friday?

[27] Every Friday.

[28] When did that happen?

[29] Well, it's really happened throughout the entire season.

[30] It's the post -game show after Panthers games that's off and on.

[31] Yeah, that's where I was confused.

[32] It does seem like you're hitting your stride in the off season.

[33] Like your consistency now is like you're nailing it, but the season's over.

[34] Yeah, well, it was free agency, you know, trades to draft, that sort of thing.

[35] That's what we were doing on, doing the off season.

[36] Cool.

[37] But now.

[38] That's not the show that I care deeply about.

[39] At this point, yes.

[40] Describe your own show as filler?

[41] Well, during the off season, yeah.

[42] Okay, well, I would say Roy.

[43] Take the off season off.

[44] Roy has not done a great job of promoting his.

[45] I haven't done a great job.

[46] That's an option.

[47] Like, Tony's not doing an MMA hangout if there isn't a card.

[48] But again, not the show that I wanted to talk about.

[49] Roy, the way that this has been promoted over the, I mean, they won the championship and it would be a great time to soar into the sky.

[50] The promotion has not been great on this, but that's not what I wanted to talk about.

[51] Working on it.

[52] The other project that Roy has poured himself into a great deal is producing because Miami, which is on Fridays.

[53] very polarizing for reasons that I understand.

[54] And I will tell you, and this was a conscious choice, a choice that was made, I know that every time because Miami airs, we lose listeners and we lose viewers.

[55] That is a choice that I am making personally because I believe in what Billy Corbyn is doing.

[56] Odd choice to making a contract here.

[57] Thank you, Dan.

[58] Thank you.

[59] No, no. Look, this is what Stugats is saying.

[60] easier and it's better to sit these things out.

[61] Play the hits, my man. But, yes, that is the best and truest way to sell out is, yes, play the hits, my man. But Roy and Billy Corbin have been doing important work over there, informed work over there, passionate work over there.

[62] And I would just urge you to get yourself more informed with Because Miami.

[63] Billy, I'm not sure that Billy Gill, Mike and Tony, and Stugats are all.

[64] on our side here, Roy, but I ride with you.

[65] I ride.

[66] You are actively costing us listeners and I ride with you.

[67] Thank you, Dan.

[68] I'm glad to be associated with a show that's making us lose listeners.

[69] I appreciate that.

[70] I ride with the customers.

[71] I do.

[72] Of course you do.

[73] I mean, why wouldn't you?

[74] There are good songs on Because Miami.

[75] I catch those.

[76] I follow it what's that word tangentially?

[77] Tangentially, yes.

[78] Excellent songs on Because Miami.

[79] They're doing some of the best music we do.

[80] We've got Taylor out here singing about John Oleroo.

[81] Hey, that's a banger and you take that back.

[82] That's the best song we've created in quite some time, maybe ever.

[83] And we did a musical that hit number one.

[84] Billy, do you have that there?

[85] We can play it again if they want to hear some more John Olerud.

[86] But I would, you don't dispute that the music is better on because Miami than it is on our show lately.

[87] No?

[88] No, but it also is like not casting as wide a net.

[89] You have to know a lot about local Miami politics.

[90] Whereas everyone knows about the 2001 Seattle Mariners.

[91] I mean, all the roots, like, hard hat.

[92] That's stuff that people know.

[93] And we're losing listeners, so we're not necessarily listen to the song because they're not listening anymore.

[94] That's right.

[95] It happens, but Billy Corbyn is going to be on the right side of everything, and he's going to lose.

[96] I think he's on the left side of everything.

[97] I think he's in the middle.

[98] He is not in the middle.

[99] Oh, leaning left.

[100] I couldn't even muster a laugh because my goldbladder got in the way.

[101] He cannot be called in the middle.

[102] The middle is moved and it's moved far away from wherever it is Billy Corby.

[103] Exactly.

[104] The middle has moved and that's where he is right now.

[105] Down the middle, Billy Corbin.

[106] That's what they call him.

[107] What happened with the sin and Olympians getting sick and having their entire hopes derailed because they brought back their sickness to the relay team because you can't swim in a river of shit.

[108] Yeah, well, I think he called it.

[109] We were all a little worried about that.

[110] One athlete tested positive for E. coli after they swam in the river.

[111] And that's really unfortunate because they had another event, a team event, and their entire team is now disqualified because of this case of E. coli.

[112] There was also another image of a triathlete emerging from the water and immediately yakking.

[113] So walk me through the timeline here.

[114] Remember, there was a protest that everybody in France was going to go shit in the river.

[115] Right?

[116] That was a thing.

[117] That is correct.

[118] and there was a great deal of security that prevented that from happening, especially the day of the opening ceremony.

[119] It's a notoriously dirty river, I imagine?

[120] Yes, and it's gotten dirty over the last few years of all the things we do to the earth.

[121] Okay, so.

[122] Yeah, but this dates back to like the dates of the catacombs, quite honestly.

[123] Like, they've been polluting this one for a while.

[124] But the IOC was like, you know what we're going to do, triathlon, we're going to have the people swim in the dirty water and then keep going.

[125] So that's a conscientious thought that everybody had and was like, you go with it, might be.

[126] Billy, Roy, everybody good?

[127] Okay, let's do that.

[128] Yeah, and if you watch under Paris this Netflix foreign film, like that's a part, yeah, that's one with the shark, where that's also a big moment where our mayor's like, I feel good about this triathlon that we're going to have.

[129] But this shark that is adapted and has made itself pregnant just feasts on them.

[130] What a final act this film has.

[131] Did they get the sharks out for the Olympics?

[132] No sharks out for the Olympics.

[133] Remember there was a real -life beluga whale that was in that river.

[134] That happened a few years ago.

[135] That went viral.

[136] It was not as cute as a shark.

[137] Is it a shit shark?

[138] It's a shit shark.

[139] No, no, they didn't talk about the contamination in the river.

[140] They were wondering how a shark could live in that water, but the shark evolved because of climate change.

[141] So why can't they just do all of these swimming things in Tahiti where the surfing is?

[142] It's an excellent question.

[143] Well, why a river?

[144] I mean, jumping in any river is a dangerous game.

[145] Is it not?

[146] Not ever.

[147] I'm not a freshwater man. I feel like rivers are a lake.

[148] Rivers and lakes are kind of on the edge there.

[149] I got to have so much trust in the body of water that is relatively stagnant.

[150] That's why I only bathe in Lake Tahoe.

[151] It's the only one.

[152] What was the country?

[153] Was it Brazil that got out of the water vomiting?

[154] Like, what was the country that got their relay hopes dashed by the fact that one swimmer got sick or one decathlete got sick?

[155] Like, what was the...

[156] We're talking about two separate things.

[157] Now, I imagine the person with E. coli definitely did throw away.

[158] up.

[159] But in that moment, immediately getting out of the water, I don't think this is the same athlete.

[160] Our crack staff is on it.

[161] How hard is it to switch like a relay person in swimming where they wear goggles and like the, you know, the cap on their head?

[162] I feel like you just sub someone in, right?

[163] Who's going to know?

[164] Well, exactly right.

[165] No one's getting out.

[166] No one's super well informed on the Brazilian swim team, you know, whatever it is.

[167] Canadian team, by the way.

[168] Switch someone out.

[169] Why can't you swap someone out?

[170] I'd try that before I just give up.

[171] Like, I'd rather get disqualified for getting cheating than just not even trying, wouldn't you?

[172] Triathlete Tyler Miss Lauchuk threw up 10 times after swimming in the Sane River.

[173] Ten times.

[174] Wow.

[175] It's insane.

[176] That'll get you dehydrated pretty quick.

[177] Do you have the John Olerud song, please, so that I can just play Taylor again singing about John Olerud as our crew claims that our music is better than because Miami's.

[178] Saturday morning, look up for the game.

[179] and put on my M's hat got in my car and raced to the park a season to remember Garcia and Moyer best staff in the land Boone's bat brought the heat Penella just got ejected again yeah Cameron's in the outfield no balls hit the ground Casa Hiro Sasaki in for the safe Ichiro was on the bases, yeah, he's flying around.

[180] Edgar Martinez is a fan fave.

[181] At first it's Sean Olerud.

[182] Wearing a helmet in the field, too.

[183] At first it's Sean Olerud.

[184] We'll lose to the Yankees anyway.

[185] Loose to the Yankees.

[186] Loose to them anyway.

[187] Loose to the Yankees.

[188] Yeah, no matter where we play.

[189] Loose to the Yankees.

[190] Damn, this is Blas for me. At first it's John Ola Roo.

[191] In the NFL, there is no margin for error.

[192] One mistake can change the outcome of the game.

[193] Science proves quality sleep can help boost reaction time, recovery time, and overall athletic performance.

[194] As the official sleep wellness partner of the NFL, sleep number's mission is to provide players with data and insights to optimize their sleep for the ultimate competitive edge.

[195] Sleep is essential for recovery, We all have unique needs.

[196] That's why Sleep Number smart beds are perfect for couples, with individualized settings for each side.

[197] Since 2018, Sleep Number and the NFL have teamed up to bring quality sleep to elite athletes.

[198] Eight out of 10 NFL players, including 80 % of Kansas City Chiefs players trust Sleep Number for their best rest.

[199] And now, during Sleep Number's biggest sale of the year, say 50 % on the Sleep Number Limited Edition Smart Bed, plus special financing for a limited time, only at a Sleep Number Store or Sleep Number.

[200] sleep number official sleep and wellness partner of the NFL see store for details don lebatard trist and shout stugats tristan and shalt this is the don lebatar show with the stugats there's never enough time here stugats to talk about all the things i want to talk about with this man uh Kamala's VP pick the olympics three on three basketball uh road to rickwood i want to talk about all of them but roy wood i need to talk about something else here before anything else.

[201] We need to as a show celebrate the one year anniversary of the Montgomery Riverboat Brawl.

[202] I believe it to be one of the funniest videos that has ever existed in the history of people communicating.

[203] A poor lowly Alabama black riverboat captain attacked by drunk white people who refuse to move their boat so that the riverboat could take its proper parking space at the dock, a five -on -one ass whoopin turned in to a 40 on five asswhip in reverse.

[204] They turned it around like the bills at halftime with Frank Wright taking them down the field, down, was it 38, 35?

[205] I don't know, you remember that ass weapon.

[206] Listen, this is one of the seminal moments in black history that if not for anti -CRT legislation would be in the history books for the children to study for years to come.

[207] But this is also about healing, Dan Lepertard, because on the same day as the anniversary of these white people getting stomped out, Kamala Harris is set to name a white man as her vice president.

[208] Now, we don't know which white man, but we do know it's a white man. You think that's a coincidence that she's going to announce the white man right at the same time as the anniversary of the riverboat ass whipping?

[209] She's bringing the country together, man. We do know it's going to be a white man. Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Levitard Show, is the Montgomery Riverboat Brawl, one of the seminal moments in black history.

[210] Please just roll that video over everything that we're saying here, because I have not been able to talk to Roy about this.

[211] But what is your favorite part?

[212] Because the part that I remember that made me laugh the most was when a black guy jumped into the water and swam toward the fight.

[213] A teenager!

[214] That kid was 16 years old, Dan Levitard and Sacchar.

[215] But you know how hard you have to work to get sneakers as a teenager.

[216] And he ruined them in exchange for swimming to help somebody else, man. And that was a wonderful, wonderful.

[217] What's funny is that the city of Montgomery, like, won't acknowledge it because they won't put a plaque up or nothing.

[218] They just, oh, no, that did not happen.

[219] Come on, no, we've got to put up a plaque.

[220] How do we do that as a show?

[221] How do we figure out a way to get a plaque put up there?

[222] Or a bronze chair.

[223] Oh, boy.

[224] I like that better.

[225] I like the chair.

[226] That's a much better suggestion.

[227] Do we have the power to do this?

[228] I mean, every week, John Oliver is doing something ridiculous on Sundays where he spends an enormous amount of.

[229] money to put something stupid somewhere.

[230] Do we have the ability?

[231] Do you have the power to help us do this?

[232] I can make some couple of calls.

[233] I am friends with Mayor Stephen Reed of Montgomery, and I'll talk to the old mayor offline.

[234] Let's not call them cold turkey right now.

[235] Okay.

[236] I wish we good.

[237] We'll see what they have up their sleeve.

[238] I think it's just one of those funny moments where I don't think anybody knew, if you showed that video to anybody and asked them to guess what would happen next?

[239] They would not be able to guess what happens next.

[240] That's one of the many reasons that it is funny.

[241] We've just seen people dumped into the water there.

[242] He's got shows this month in Denver, New York, New Jersey, all over the place.

[243] He is still out there hustling.

[244] Roywood Jr .com is where you go.

[245] The website is Roy Wood Jr .com.

[246] He's taping a new special for Hulu next month in D .C. And we've told Road to Rickwood is very good.

[247] It's the podcast on Civil Rights and Baseball with NPR because he does some very serious work around the comedy that has some depth to it.

[248] Do you have anything for us on what you want from Kamala's VP pick?

[249] Can I just say that I don't think anybody on earth is prepared for the level of vetting that happens.

[250] Is it me or was just like last week, the week of secrets?

[251] Like every VP has done something that you don't like or they have voted wrong on the thing that you support.

[252] And a week before that, they were all the perfect white man. And now we didn't find out RFK is taking dead animals and putting them in the park and taking selfies with them or whatever the hell that was about.

[253] We found out that the second gentleman cheated in the first marriage.

[254] Why are we just not talking about this?

[255] That's what happens during a VP vetting.

[256] They find everybody's secrets, man. Hold on.

[257] Everybody's trying to throw shade.

[258] Tell me about this RFK thing.

[259] So part of what I heard was that he saw a bear on the road that had been killed as roadkill and he got it for meat and he was going to put it in his fridge.

[260] But then he had to get out of town and you can continue the story from there.

[261] It's absurd.

[262] As far as I understand, as the team, as far as I understand, he took the bear into Central Park.

[263] Did you take a picture with it?

[264] Did you take a picture of the bed?

[265] You lost me at put road kill and caught.

[266] At that point, I'm like, you can't be president.

[267] At no point, unless you're from West Virginia.

[268] maybe Eastern, like, Appalachia, all right, y 'all eat Roadkill.

[269] Like, that's an understood thing there.

[270] But if you just, yeah, man, I saw a dead bear.

[271] I was like, man, let me put this thing in the car and then put it in Central Park and spin this thing politically.

[272] Like, no, man, you can't do that.

[273] Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Lebitard show.

[274] Is it okay to run for president if you're from West Virginia and put Roadkill in the car?

[275] Because that's the only place that you're allowing it, right?

[276] I had not heard of the idea of bear meat has just been killed by a car, but he never got to refrigerate it.

[277] He never got to actually eat the meat.

[278] He dumped it in Central Park.

[279] Well, it didn't dump it.

[280] He staged like he was trying to scare cyclists with it.

[281] He wasn't just dumping it.

[282] Yeah, not before taking a photo with it.

[283] And I guess in this whole plan to salvage the bear meat, he forgot that he was traveling that day.

[284] He realized, I can't take this bear carcass with me. I mean, Roy, it's never been this dumb.

[285] The whole thing has never been, it's never been this dumb.

[286] Drew Ungah had a tweet that said, I can't believe Cheryl Hines is now more embarrassed of a real -life husband than her TV husband.

[287] Don't you just miss sex scandals being what politicians did wrong?

[288] Put it on the poll, Jude.

[289] Don't you miss, just miss the Kennedy's too.

[290] Gang somebody you weren't supposed to bang was in Maryland Monroe or Lewinsky.

[291] And now it's like, because of all this digging and all this deep dive stuff and then finding J .D. Vance's old social media posts.

[292] Now we're finding out way too much.

[293] I know we're supposed to know about a politician as a person and how they vote, but I don't, I don't even know all that.

[294] You know what?

[295] You're so right about this, though.

[296] He has desecrated the Kennedy Dame more nowhere than in trading the sex scandal for a road kill scandal.

[297] The other Kennedys are embarrassed.

[298] He has a sex scandal and like a harassment scandal.

[299] Like, that's out there too.

[300] And he took a very curious approach to his like, more stuff is coming out you gotta keep the scandal simple that's why you got to respect hunter Biden that's old school scandal type behavior right there bro that's just drugs and sex like it's okay fine he's not taking dead animals to the park trying to scare people on cycles have you been enjoying the Olympics you're the host on peacock of a new competition show called the other games it features events like swirling dirty what is it ball busters extreme flip cup Yeah, we're the bootleg Olympics.

[301] We're all the events that didn't get approved by the IOC, but it's still a good watch.

[302] I've had a good time.

[303] Do you guys feel like the Olympic shit river is an important part of the competition?

[304] Like, I kind of like the element of death, like, E. coli poitone, because it levels the playing field.

[305] Like, it's an X factor that you can't account for in any shape, form of fashion.

[306] I almost feel like we need, like, an environmental environmental disaster integrated into every games.

[307] That's why L .A. is going to be perfect for the summer games.

[308] What we got right now in L .A., the fourth largest wildfire in history, run the bikes through it.

[309] We're in the mountains.

[310] Yeah, we do need to raise the stakes.

[311] You hell that smoke, baby.

[312] We'll see if you win now.

[313] You saw that American who won the cycling the other day.

[314] She hit that Super Mario boost in the last, like, half a mile and one so big, nobody else was in the picture.

[315] Put her in the Big Bear Mountains, North of Cali.

[316] coming down alone.

[317] Do it through the flames.

[318] They got to do the triathlon in the L .A. River, that four -inch canal that the Terminator was chasing John Connor through.

[319] Oh, my God.

[320] Just everybody scraped up with concrete scars.

[321] You have it right, though.

[322] Raise the stakes with the E. coli.

[323] Raise the stakes.

[324] It's a shame that the athletes aren't all getting a fair shape in the water because of the whole environmental stuff that they tried to fix.

[325] But I think what we've learned in this is that you can't say the water's dirty today and clean tomorrow and dirty today and dirty tomorrow.

[326] You know how you take a dump and then you flush that dump and then there's still particles from the previous flush in the clean water?

[327] That's what the river is like.

[328] I feel like that's what they're doing in Paris.

[329] Like they dump it and then they go, all right, it's good.

[330] It's like, no, man, there's still particles.

[331] Remnants, remnants.

[332] Yeah, you got a double flush before you tell me to get back in the water, baby.

[333] And they're not double flushing in Paris.

[334] And that's the problem.

[335] Do you have any climate change events that you're thinking of particularly, or you just want, like, what, are you adding sports to the Olympics?

[336] No, I don't want to add sports.

[337] I just want to add the element of environmental change so that we can see just how, you know, we almost had it with FIFA.

[338] Was it Dubai where it was like 120 degrees, but they covered every stadium like a coward.

[339] So I think 2028, L .A. is a prime opportunity to show people just how much the world is ending, a drive.

[340] L .A. River for all water events.

[341] I like that.

[342] We can pray for a fire.

[343] Not an inferno.

[344] I don't want people to die, but just something enough to just hit them lungs really hard.

[345] Like, remember when you smoke the cigar the wrong way for the first time?

[346] You want that for a couple of miles.

[347] On the incline, too.

[348] And if not, if there's no fire, we can do a control burn.

[349] We got professionals.

[350] We know how to make fire.

[351] Make it more challenging.

[352] We deserve this.

[353] We did it to ourselves.

[354] Gators in the water, also for water events, but I haven't figured out how to not kill the swimmers in the earlier heats.

[355] What is the dirty dishkuss that the other games does on Peacock?

[356] What is the dirty dishkis?

[357] Yo, man, so many of these games, and you remember Wipe Out, which was basically a remake of MXC, that's literally what it is.

[358] Like Kevin Hart and its Hartby Productions Company put together a show where we just got influencers and random people to literally just throw themselves up.

[359] against walls to jump and run and just do all types of insanity man the three on three basketball interesting to you the or is uh are you only interested in the big basketball team how are we drafting these people and i'm not trying to hate on whoever like why isn't jalen brown why is the NBA players not involved why are the big three the big three champion should represent america and three on three it's a good point jimmer for debt like why are we doing better than shooter but again i throw it I think I have a delineation here.

[360] The NBA players don't play outside.

[361] That's the biggest thing.

[362] All three -on -three basketballs played outside.

[363] NBA players don't play on hardtop, don't play outside.

[364] That's the difference.

[365] But didn't they all play outside when they were poor?

[366] You can't channel poor again?

[367] At one point, you're right, Roy.

[368] They don't think they're just poor like cany.

[369] I'm with Roy.

[370] I'd rather have Jalen Brown playing on a hardcore outside for the first time than a Barry brother that I just learned existed.

[371] You know how hard it is to just learn that.

[372] Rick Berry had another son and then see them get dunked on by somebody from a country you can't pronounce.

[373] I like three on three.

[374] I do think that as Americans, the Olympics, we aren't willing to concede that they are other countries and they know how to do the thing too.

[375] They've been watching YouTube tutorials.

[376] They're good now.

[377] It's okay to lose if you're an American.

[378] It's not the end of the world.

[379] Also, I do respect that the American ping pong team, you see what they did right I saw like the Chinese keep winning ping pong and then America basically did the reverse of what all the basketball teams do like all the basketball like so many black Canadians all of a sudden on Canada's to I didn't know all these black people were black Canadians and then Americans are like okay well we're gonna get us some Asian Americans who've learned ping pong straight from the source and then put them on the American team and that's how we're going to compete that's like we're basically in some sort of weird international transfer portal with countries.

[380] That's really what the Olympics is now.

[381] It's like, okay, you're black until we need you.

[382] And we need you to come over here for a little while.

[383] Would you mind being Cape Veridian for a little while?

[384] You say it's okay to lose as Americans, but the first thing you're doing is saying, hey, why isn't Jalen Brown playing for us in three on three?

[385] Because we're losing 21 -6 to the Dutch.

[386] It's okay to lose.

[387] I didn't say it's okay to start your 50s.

[388] teeth seated, how deep do we, who said, who did they lose to to qualify?

[389] I'm not saying put a bunch of scrubs on the roster with respect to Rick Berry and for that.

[390] I'm just saying if there are better people who are available and free, put Stephen Jackson.

[391] You think Stephen Jackson won't foul out and play hard, outside, anytime, anybody.

[392] We're talking about the same man that takes softball series and he never did that professionally.

[393] Yeah, he ran you off.

[394] Yeah, he ran you off celebrity softball forever.

[395] There were, I just, I don't know, man. I just think with certain sports, it would be cool to have the washed up American or the recently retired American who used to do the thing professionally, you know.

[396] But I'm not over here sad because we didn't win kayak slalom, whatever the hell that was.

[397] It's basketball.

[398] That's Tony's sport, isn't it?

[399] Just, I don't remember her last name, but she had a 360 on 14 that she went into the water and spun out on gold.

[400] Incredible.

[401] But what Roy is saying is we should never lose in basketball to anyone.

[402] That's what he's saying, essentially, right?

[403] Well, but it's getting harder now because all the blacks are entering the transfer portal and claiming other countries now.

[404] So I don't know how much longer we can do this.

[405] Before we get you out of here, we haven't done your semi -sure bet of the week.

[406] Did you have any thoughts on Noah Liles in that race?

[407] And can we tie it in any way to your semi -sure bed of the week?

[408] Are we not doing that this way?

[409] Congratulations to Noah Liles for shutting up Twitter.

[410] they were waiting to jump on that boy.

[411] And that boy won by, as my mom said, he won by his bottom lip.

[412] I'm not sure if I can tell that joke in the public.

[413] I'm not even sure if y 'all can laugh at it.

[414] I don't know.

[415] I'm just telling you what I can't.

[416] It's too late.

[417] It's too late.

[418] It's too late.

[419] Here's the thing.

[420] When America wins the gold in the 100 meter dash, men or women's, the Chicago Cubs have won the next day.

[421] Really?

[422] Moneyline Chicago Cubs.

[423] Also, hang on, hang on.

[424] Cubs always win the next day.

[425] And the twins always win the next day.

[426] And the twins winning street goes all the way back to 1984.

[427] We're talking Carl Lewis, Evelyn Ashford level, L .A. Olympics 84.

[428] So the day after we win gold in the 100, Cubs and Twins win.

[429] Here's the problem.

[430] Leverton, Cubs and Twins are playing each other.

[431] Oh, wow.

[432] Something has to give.

[433] Ian Hap's got a shoulder.

[434] tiebreaker.

[435] Here's your tiebreaker for tonight's game.

[436] Last year, August 5th, same day as the boat brawl, the Cubs won and the twins won.

[437] But the twins won't won by 12 runs.

[438] Therefore, the twins are traditionally more of an offensive powerhouse when we're remembering a recent Southern race war.

[439] Twins for the win.

[440] My guaranteed, semi -sure bet for today.

[441] Bet everything you want.

[442] Take your kids' retirement.

[443] Take your kids college education.

[444] My kids don't have retirement.

[445] Have you been watching the markets?

[446] Even better.

[447] Oh, yeah.

[448] That's a whole, that's a bucket that.

[449] We have to talk about that.

[450] For the first time since 2021, Top Shot has outperformed the stock market.

[451] I'm putting on, I'm investing all my kids stuff in ski ball tickets.

[452] Here's the tickets.

[453] Go buy something for yourself, David and Busters.

[454] Yeah, that's the same sure bet, bro.

[455] Give me the twins today.

[456] And later this week, when the U .S., if we get gold in the 200, give me the Cubs, always go into extra ending.

[457] Anytime the United.

[458] States gets a gold in the 100 and the 200, the Cubs go to extra ends.

[459] The Cubs are playing the White Sox later this week.

[460] The White Sox, I don't know if you heard, 20 game losing street.

[461] Yeah, they're really bad.

[462] Really bad.

[463] Probably should pick the Cubs.

[464] It's all Cubs week.

[465] It's twins right now.

[466] And then when the Cubs go to play the White Sox, you go, you go Cubs over socks and extra ends.

[467] That is the semi -sure bet of the week.

[468] Get tickets.

[469] And apologies to everybody who lost money on my bet last time I was on.

[470] That's my bad.

[471] It was semi -sure.

[472] You didn't say it was a sure bet.

[473] It was just a semi -sure.

[474] You said to bet everything on his semi -sure bet.

[475] Also, buy some tickets.

[476] Roy Wood Jr .com.

[495] Don Lebertard.

[496] Sub 500 seasons, it's been lonely.

[497] Now the best player is on our side.

[498] Been losing and losing for much too long.

[499] But now we're back with New York.

[500] York Pride.

[501] Stugats.

[502] Jaylan.

[503] You've got us on our feet.

[504] Jalen.

[505] We're going to win the East.

[506] Jaylan.

[507] Without Randall, we're still doing fine.

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

[509] Roy, the other Roy, the other Black Roy that we have around here, he is objectively.

[510] projecting pretty, I'm not going to say violently, but he's upset about us giving Taylor status as a better music maker than some of the stuff that's on Because Miami.

[511] He has called Dave, his reinforcements, Dave turns these into video.

[512] And these are not being seen because we lose listeners and viewers all the time with Because Miami.

[513] But the songs and the videos are extraordinary.

[514] They're exceptional.

[515] And Roy has asked Dave to say, and him three.

[516] Is this your bronze, silver, and gold medal of favorite because Miami songs?

[517] No, we're just going to play them at random because I know that all of them are better than Taylor, so play the first one.

[518] Okay.

[519] Endorsed by the Dems of Miami -Dade weather, obviously comfy with more of the same freaking bozos.

[520] Beosio bozos.

[521] vying for this thing, but they only interviewed two out of 13 and picked co -vote.

[522] Please don't vote for co -o.

[523] There are no mariners in this song.

[524] Yep, one -nothing Taylor.

[525] Eight minutes left on that.

[526] Oh, Jesus.

[527] All right, let's fade that one out if there are eight minutes left on that.

[528] That is one vote for Taylor over because Miami there.

[529] Everyone agrees on that?

[530] Not even close.

[531] It was a weak start.

[532] All right, so this is the best of what we're doing on Because Miami, sent by Dave himself, number two here.

[533] Let's see what we've got.

[534] It was very early.

[535] No, Kaz Sasaki yet.

[536] Come on, give it a shot.

[537] John Aller might make an appearance here.

[538] There we go.

[539] Debion is nine, no. DeSantis.

[540] Another eight minutes left on that one, too.

[541] There's my Cameron.

[542] How much more time is there on this one, Billy?

[543] It feels like endless.

[544] He said he picked these at random.

[545] He probably should have vetted them more.

[546] Well, I asked Roy to get the very best of what it is because Miami does music.

[547] Oh, it sounds the same but louder.

[548] Yes, these are the best.

[549] I mean, those aren't.

[550] These aren't the best, though.

[551] I have heard.

[552] I thought Edgar Martinez is better than this.

[553] So what is our third one here?

[554] What is our third nominee, Billy is delighted that Taylor is somehow winning this?

[555] It's up too well.

[556] I mean, he's won.

[557] Well.

[558] Love the song choice.

[559] Great song.

[560] Can we play the real song?

[561] I'm super rich.

[562] Oh, this is a John Ruiz song.

[563] This one's good, really.

[564] But they are more obscure subject matter.

[565] Yeah.

[566] That people tune out.

[567] More obscure than the 2001 Seattle Mariners and their collapse to the Yankees in the playoffs.

[568] I know.

[569] I'm not saying.

[570] that that one is...

[571] The song needed to be written, though.

[572] Maxim's obscure.

[573] When I was gone last week, I got a text from Taylor that was just a link to the song.

[574] He's like, I think I'm going to write a song about the 2001 Mariners.

[575] I was like, okay, let me know.

[576] And then he sent it to me, and I'm like, do they play that on the show?

[577] And he's like, yeah, and I'm like, how did they manage to set that up?

[578] Like, how did this come up?

[579] I just came in here, and Chris Cody and Mike Ryan are leaning on each other, falling on the floor laughing because Taylor's made a song that's so awful that they love it.

[580] Awful.

[581] It's a good song.

[582] It's up 3 -0 right now.

[583] You can take issue with the vocal performance, but the song choice is very strong.

[584] The lyrics are strong.

[585] The subject matter, a plus.

[586] How could you rhyme John Ola -Rood with a rude, genius?

[587] Exactly.

[588] The vocals, though, is what makes it charming.

[589] I don't want it to be too professional, too good.

[590] I want it to be Taylor.

[591] Doing nothing.

[592] Something's to be said for like a lo -fi approach.

[593] Stugat, you do a pretty good job of overcoming all things that you are.

[594] with this aforementioned charm you speak of charming thank you uh you are charming and we love you in spite of yourself but uh the the criticism is pouring in because you have dared to go after simone byles which is a bit sacrilegious saying that she needs to not hop uh while landing on the dismount right and uh somebody writes in stugats once again proving himself to be the dumbest least informed most useless person in the room would be true for just about any room.

[595] Give this man air time and it is a crime against journalism, television, radio waves, and human hearing.

[596] And it's based on a rabid outpouring that is headed your way because you've dared to be the one media voice anywhere nationally or internationally to be criticizing Simone Biles.

[597] I mean, on the front end, I said she's great, perhaps the greatest Olympic champion we've ever had, perhaps the greatest gymnast that we've ever seen, but in that particular moment on the vault, I prefer my landings to be stuck.

[598] She did not stick the landings.

[599] The girl who got the silver stuck the landings.

[600] I don't care about twirls and height and all that.

[601] Stick the landing.

[602] That's part of it.

[603] That's all I said.

[604] The woman.

[605] And to be accurate, he wasn't alone.

[606] What do you mean he wasn't alone?

[607] It wasn't the lone voice.

[608] Thank you.

[609] Here is definitely like a two -man dance.

[610] Well, Billy encourages Stugats' worst behavior.

[611] What did I do?

[612] What do you mean?

[613] You did.

[614] You fan Flames?

[615] What do you mean?

[616] What did you do?

[617] You fanned flames.

[618] I remember praising Michael Phelps.

[619] I remember praising Michael Phelps.

[620] I remember praising, what was the other guy?

[621] You fanned flames.

[622] Locked?

[623] This is what happened.

[624] Billy, for those who don't see behind the curtain, you come back from vacation and you push to Gats into the street is what you do.

[625] That's what you do emotionally.

[626] In fairness to Billy, I came up with the Bios take on my own.

[627] Like, I'm fine with it.

[628] I'm totally comfortable.

[629] You want to come after me?

[630] Come after me. We're not allowed to say a bad thing about Simone Biles, please.

[631] I've said a million great things about her.

[632] One bad thing?

[633] That's all you remember?

[634] It wasn't a million.

[635] Excuse me. I think this is revisionist history because I don't remember it this way at all.

[636] I don't remember Stugats criticizing Simone Biles.

[637] I remember him defending the art of gymnastics.

[638] Thank you.
