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.

[12] Please drink responsibly.
[13] This is the Dan Levatore show with the Stugats podcast.
[14] We're going to get to this Wyatt Yeager in a second because he tried to speed off and flee a whale breaching.
[15] We're not so sure about that.
[16] I think he was going back.
[17] I know what someone who is about the dip looks like.
[18] I saw that.
[19] Okay, well, we're accusing him of being a fleer.
[20] Let's play that video.
[21] Let's just show that video again.
[22] of a whale breaching in New Hampshire yesterday.
[23] Just totally horrifying.
[24] And there he is.
[25] There's Wyatt.
[26] He looks like...
[27] I just noticed Wyatt has a line in the water and has to make the quick decision.
[28] Watch his hand.
[29] I'm telling you.
[30] That's a U -turn.
[31] It's starting a U -turn there, guys.
[32] Okay.
[33] We're going to find out from him.
[34] He will have answers.
[35] He's joining us from the same doc where he and his 16 -year -old brother, Colin, launched their boat before the accident that we've seen here.
[36] Wyatt, thank you for joining us.
[37] We appreciate it.
[38] Can you take us through what happened here?
[39] How weird this was?
[40] Yeah, this was actually crazy.
[41] So we got there.
[42] We saw this whale, started making its way over.
[43] And it was feeding on those pogies, the baitfish.
[44] And it started breaching a few times.
[45] And then all of a sudden it breached up super high and hit the boat and flipped them over.
[46] And so what was happening with the person who's on that boat?
[47] Do you know that person?
[48] no we we didn't know them um but we we went over and picked them up and we talked to them you're a hero we got them we got them you're a hero uh well there are about five or ten other boats there and who was you got there first who was first yep you what who was their first we were there first you're the hero wow so you immediately you immediately turned around to go check on them yep yep Were you worried that, wait, is this a rogue whale?
[49] Is this whale going to do this again?
[50] Honestly, looking back at the video, it kind of should have crossed my mind, but it didn't cross my mind in the moment.
[51] You went into Hero Mouse.
[52] Yeah, well, I was pretty scared, like, for them and just scared, like, what just happened.
[53] But I kind of had a duty to just go help them.
[54] That is how heroes do interviews right there.
[55] That is, you don't think about yourself, you just go into heroism mode.
[56] Can you tell us, the people who were on the boat, tell us what condition they were in, how scared they were, what level of surprise they were under?
[57] Yeah, it was, this was kind of crazy to me, too, that they were fine.
[58] They were, like, they were kind of laughing, like, smiling, like, wow, that was pretty cool.
[59] Like, they were obviously a little bit shucking up because I don't think anyone can just walk away from that, totally fine.
[60] but they were in good spirits.
[61] They thought it was pretty cool, and they were just happy to be alive.
[62] How long were they in the water?
[63] They said under a minute.
[64] I'd say it's hard for me to remember, but between a minute and two minutes, I'd say.
[65] How did, like, their boat was capsized, right?
[66] How did we get back, you know, to normal?
[67] When me and my brother were heading in, we saw a rescue team.
[68] I think they went under the boat, and filled up some buoys or something and flipped it over and then towed it back in.
[69] I'm not exactly sure on the process, but I think that's what they did.
[70] Is the boat now fine?
[71] The boat that was capsized is now usable the next day?
[72] Other than the motor.
[73] The motor got a little bit crushed.
[74] But other than that, yeah, the boat is pretty much perfectly fine.
[75] You know the internet these days.
[76] There were people theorizing that, oh, this whale exacted some revenge because they were too close to it.
[77] And there were probably signs that this whale was agitated to you.
[78] Were there any signs that this was a possibility with this whale?
[79] No, I wouldn't say so.
[80] It was just simply, it was feeding on the fish.
[81] We, looking back at it, we all could have maybe been like a little bit farther back.
[82] But we were trying to stay on the edge of the school of fish for other boaters, like other fishermen too.
[83] but I don't think it was it was just a crazy mistake you catch anything good that day how they bite you?
[84] Oh yeah they were insane best I've ever had Whoa what did you get I got a 49 inch striper It was probably about 50 pounds And then we caught some other Like in between 35 and 45 striper Hell yeah Were you pissed at this ruined your day Like now you have to go take this dummy in Because his boat got knocked over by a whale no uh we we could have totally gone back out like 10 minutes after um we we dropped them off with their friend and we were debating like we it didn't ruin our day at all um we could have went back out if we wanted this was the best fishing day of your life yeah yeah i caught the best fish i have and my brother caught the coolest video okay so that so you're saying it's not it's not just that you remember the fishing you are also enjoying this hero's lap that you get to take All of a sudden, look at you, doing interviews.
[85] So you have a fish story.
[86] You have an amazing day, and every fisherman wants a story like this.
[87] Yeah, I mean, I would say so, yeah, because everyone was okay.
[88] The whale was okay, the boat was okay.
[89] It was a pretty cool experience looking back at it, and the fishing was great.
[90] It was a good day, definitely, but I'm just glad everyone was okay.
[91] That is an important part to say.
[92] You've got that part of the Heroes interview right that you've got it down.
[93] It's a good thing that no one was hurt here.
[94] My fishing day would have been ruined if somebody's father had died.
[95] How many people did you send a video to before you posted it on social media?
[96] We, I sent it to my family group chat, and then I sent it to some of my friends.
[97] And then we actually, we tried to sell the video because the people in the boat were like, you guys should totally sell that video.
[98] So we're, like, looking into that, and it didn't really work out.
[99] So we just posted it on our stories, and then I think someone got a hold of it.
[100] Take me through some of the negotiations and the sad offers you got.
[101] Like, did you call TMZ?
[102] Like, how did the sales portion of this go before you abandoned it?
[103] What was the asking price?
[104] We were lost.
[105] We had no clue, like, anything about this whole process.
[106] We started calling up, like, just like the local news, because we had no idea, like, who would want this, or, like, we had, we had no idea what we were doing.
[107] What's the pitch?
[108] Do you say we have a video?
[109] Do you want to buy it?
[110] $20?
[111] Yeah, yeah, it was pretty much like that.
[112] Like, we got this cool video if you guys want it.
[113] Yeah, your negotiation needs some work.
[114] Can you tell us about the good responses that you got from some of the people you did send it to before you tried to sell it for $20?
[115] My friends were going crazy.
[116] They were like, what just happened?
[117] Like, they were, they were very confused.
[118] Laughing their asses off.
[119] Yeah.
[120] Yeah, when they heard, everyone was okay.
[121] Like, it was just, because everyone's first reaction was, is everyone okay?
[122] But yeah, it was.
[123] Is it okay to laugh at this now?
[124] It's because no one has actually died in the making of this video.
[125] Wyatt, thank you for being on with us.
[126] You're an American hero.
[127] We appreciate your work.
[128] Thank you, Wyatt.
[129] I apologize for doubting your hero.
[130] apologize to you for thinking that you were immediately fleeing.
[131] You looked like you were scared.
[132] You did.
[133] You didn't look like a hero jumping into action.
[134] You looked like someone fleeing a crime.
[135] Yeah, well, it's all good.
[136] It is all good.
[137] No one was hurt in the making of this video, except for Wyatt's feelings because he tried to sell it and it was pathetic, the way that all of that...
[138] And that 150 Yamaha.
[139] Yes, and then the motor of the 150 Yamaha.
[140] Thank you, Wyatt.
[141] Appreciate the time, sir.
[142] Are you regretting not coming up with a catchphrase afterwards?
[143] Like, if you would have said, Hock Tua, you could have, like, won millions.
[144] Yes, you could have.
[145] Yeah, no, I, I mean, honestly, I kind of hate all the...
[146] I wouldn't say I hate the attention, but...
[147] That's pretty good.
[148] It's cool, but...
[149] Doing an interview.
[150] You look at the camera, said, we're having a whale of a day.
[151] I'm not...
[152] I'm happy with that it turned out.
[153] I'm very happy.
[154] Because no one was hurt.
[155] Right.
[156] Because no one was hurt.
[157] Exactly.
[158] Piero.
[159] Thank you, Wyatt.
[160] Thank you, Wyatt.
[161] Bears on me next time, when you're of age.
[162] Wyatt and LeBron, both uncomfortable with praise.

[176] Don Lebertard.
[177] If all the rain drops for lemon drops and gun drops.
[178] Oh, what a rain that would be.
[179] Stugats.
[180] Standing outside with my mouth open wide.
[181] Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
[182] If all the rain drops were lemon drops.
[183] and gum drops.
[184] Oh, what a rain that would be.
[185] This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats.
[186] That's right.
[187] It's time for against the spread.
[188] And it is brought to you by our friends at Draft Crings.
[189] Stay tuned because you'll hear what Draft Kings has to offer all throughout the show.
[190] Draft Kings, the crown is yours.
[191] Tony, kick us off.
[192] All right guys, well, Olympic time happening right now.
[193] Obviously, the games are started.
[194] The opening ceremony is yet to be done, so we're still trying to figure that part out.
[195] But I'm going to go into the Olympic canoeing slalom.
[196] A very important exercise.
[197] We've got...
[198] Tony, I'm going to need your energy to be just a little quicker, a little faster here, and some of your word choices to be a little bit better.
[199] Let my board cook.
[200] Adam Burgess from Great Britain.
[201] he is plus 900 in the canoeing slalom for this year.
[202] We're locking in.
[203] Adam Burgess.
[204] The spread.
[205] That is a future.
[206] We can't do this this poorly.
[207] We can't.
[208] We're in a contractor.
[209] We have to do better than this.
[210] Mike, over to you.
[211] I got us.
[212] I got us.
[213] All right.
[214] I did a lot of prep on this.
[215] Zach Eflin.
[216] He's a pitcher.
[217] He pitches for Tampa Bay.
[218] Yes, he does.
[219] Yeah, he's coming off a bad start.
[220] And so I looked at who he's playing.
[221] today.
[222] It's Toronto Blue Jays.
[223] Last time he pitched against him, didn't turn out so good.
[224] So, let's keep with that trend.
[225] I'm going to take the Blue Jays, only minus 180 in some books for plus one and a half.
[226] Against the spread.
[227] All right, Dan, last week on against the spread, me and the blacksmiths told you pound that steel.
[228] Take Justin's steel.
[229] He can't miss. He's been hot.
[230] He's had two great back -to -back starts.
[231] And guess what?
[232] He missed.
[233] But you know what happens with the blacksmiths?
[234] You miss once.
[235] You keep pounding that steel.
[236] You don't miss again.
[237] And today, Justin Steele takes on the Brewers and there are minus one and a half.
[238] Pound that steel.
[239] Justin Steele against the spread.
[240] Can I redo mine?
[241] Because what happened was I didn't know Chris was going to throw it to me and he threw it to me. I was on the canoeing slalom.
[242] No. So it was tough.
[243] I like Tyler Glass now, by the way, tonight.
[244] Against the...
[245] With the Dodgers?
[246] Bonus.
[247] I like Tyler Glass now against the giant sign.
[248] In a contract year, we cannot be betting canoeing.
[249] It's an Olympics here.
[250] What are we supposed to do it?
[251] Lined up perfectly.
[252] The stores have a line.
[253] Where you should seize are.
[254] It's also a slown.
[255] That's not a spread.
[256] That was a future.
[257] So he cleaned it up.
[258] Future is the spread.
[259] All right.
[260] Thank you for nothing.
[261] We have to do better over the course of the next year for Draft Kings.
[262] We have a very good deal with Draft Kings that is about to expire.
[263] and it is something that we should protect and honor better than we just did there stammering our way through that segment the way that you guys did.
[264] I said three things that were all right.
[265] Yeah.
[266] Zach Eflin, name right.
[267] He's a ray.
[268] Got that right.
[269] They're playing the Blue Jays.
[270] They can't score against anybody.
[271] Well, apparently they can score against Zach Eflin.
[272] I want to spin the wheel.
[273] We have a lot of issues that we have not gotten to.
[274] And Zaslow, I need you to pick from these topics on the wheel.
[275] We have an emotional Jim Leland.
[276] We have Greg Cody, inexplicably ripping Michael Phelps yesterday.
[277] We have Taylor Walls of the Rays, the aforementioned Rays, doing a Donald Trump celebration.
[278] We have Alpha Brain that Mike Ryan can't stop taking to try and improve his brain power.
[279] We have some ACC news.
[280] We have Leonel Messi, and we have something that Jim Harbaugh has said about Lamar Jackson.
[281] So let's spin the wheel and have Zazzo, Trevor.
[282] where it is that that wheel has landed.
[283] What subject is?
[284] Oh, Greg Cody.
[285] Greg Cody, Michael Phelps' conversation.
[286] Yes, I like it.
[287] Okay, so yesterday on the show out of nowhere, trying to up his, you know, notoriety after taking out Connor McDavid during the Stanley Cup final and making the NHL final about himself, Greg Cody said, objected to a list of top 100 athletes by saying your number one athlete on that list cannot be an athlete that we care about, or actually said that we can give a shit about, that we don't give a shit about, except for two weeks out of every four years.
[288] Totally agree.
[289] Totally agree.
[290] That's a fair point that he made there, but that's not even the point that I would make.
[291] The point that I'm making is Michael Phelps is the greatest athlete since the year 2000.
[292] You're telling me, you put Michael Phelps right here in front of me, and right here is LeBron James.
[293] And I'm supposed to go with Michael Phelps?
[294] Greatest athletes?
[295] No, no, no, no. I don't like that at all.
[296] More dominant, like more distance between him and the nearest competitor than whatever the distance would be between LeBron and the nearest competitor.
[297] But here's also the thing.
[298] Michael Phelps, there's not another swimmer trying to prevent him from being great at swimming.
[299] Everything LeBron James is trying to accomplish, there are other guys trying to prevent him from.
[300] doing that.
[301] Well, all the other swimmers are trying to prevent Michael Phelps from finishing before they do.
[302] No, they're all trying to be fastest, but they're not in Michael Phelps' lane and pushing him out of the way and making him go slow.
[303] They're not tugging on his leg and not allowing him to touch the wall.
[304] They're not pushing him under the water so that he drowns and doesn't finish.
[305] All of that's happening to someone like LeBron.
[306] Chris Cody, is Michael Phelps the greatest at anything to hang up on our show when we had him on and we tried to just ask him questions about whether or not he was using his fame in order to accrue things and he was taking our interview very seriously.
[307] Do you go into the nightclub with these Kellogg's products and just drop them on the floor with your face on them?
[308] Sorry, I think we have to head to the next interview.
[309] Sorry, thank you very much for your time.
[310] All right, Michael, good talking to you.
[311] I didn't even get to ask what the...
[312] Mike, you're wincing.
[313] I see you wincing there at the memory of that.
[314] Everything's a joke to these guys.
[315] Oh, they're so irreverent.
[316] That's how we became Zippy and the juice.
[317] No one respects the Olympics.
[318] By the way, can I give you guys an Olympic update?
[319] While everybody was focusing on the corruption in saber fencing, what happened on the pitch in soccer was an outrage.
[320] today between Argentina and Morocco.
[321] A damn crime.
[322] Ridiculous.
[323] 16 minutes of extra time was added at the end of the game to allow Argentina to score and tie the game and have an end of the tie.
[324] And Daddy needed that tie.
[325] 16 minutes of extra time.
[326] How's that possible?
[327] I don't know how it's possible.
[328] I kept asking in the group chat because I was doing the show.
[329] Was there a water break that I missed?
[330] I didn't see a VAR.
[331] How was there 16 minutes?
[332] Also, the finishing sequence of that game was incredible.
[333] It was three out of five boom.
[334] Boom!
[335] You bet that they wouldn't lose?
[336] I bet midway through the game when Argentina was down and they're the better side, I bet to tie.
[337] And then I was like, oh, crap, they're going.
[338] And then I saw 15 minutes.
[339] I was like, let's go.
[340] What?
[341] That was Pearl Jam.
[342] That was Zaslo's phone.
[343] You owe $5, Zaslo.
[344] Is that giving a fly?
[345] Where's your money?
[346] Wow, did I beat Shazam?
[347] Was it given a fly?
[348] It was.
[349] Woo!
[350] Pearl jam That alpha brain That is so much It is so on brand Zaslo's phone Playing some pearl jam I couldn't have constructed a hypothetical Did you do that on purpose?
[351] No You would pick the yellow lead better Speaking of the Olympics Are we going to do our draft On who is covering what sports Because we really do We're headed into a period here Of a couple of weeks where we need to get up to date on what's happening in the Olympics.
[352] I'm selecting breakdancing.
[353] I want that to be the sport that I am covering.
[354] But how are we going to do this draft?
[355] Do we have an order?
[356] Well, it just started.
[357] Dan, first, Zaslow, you're next.
[358] Apparently, the guy whose names on the show says, I'm taking this first.
[359] That's fine.
[360] And then you can figure out how you're doing the rest of the...
[361] So I get to cover whatever sport I want.
[362] And we'll check in with you.
[363] Yeah.
[364] I'm going wrestling.
[365] I mean, the U .S. has got a squad, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, Ranty Wharton, RKO.
[366] You're going to actually be our wrestling correspondent.
[367] We're going to go for a minute of coverage.
[368] We're going to do this the way that we do the F -1 minute with Jessica that we didn't get this week that we should have gotten yesterday.
[369] I mean, it wasn't even the bus race.
[370] Who's picking next in our...
[371] I'll go next.
[372] I'm going to take Beach Volleyball.
[373] Damn.
[374] See how Chase Budinger is doing.
[375] Damn.
[376] You also had the best vista because, dude, it's incredible.
[377] I was going to go there.
[378] That's a good pick.
[379] Looks like I'm next because of against the spread.
[380] I'm going to take canoe slalom.
[381] Wow.
[382] You left canoe sprint out there.
[383] It's good value.
[384] Just in case.
[385] What is canoe slalom?
[386] You know how slalom on skis you're going through the things?
[387] You're just canoeing.
[388] There's obstacles.
[389] Or sprint is like you just go as fast as possible.
[390] Are you guys looking forward to discovering some of the sports?
[391] Because every year at this time, all of a sudden, and someone gets real excited about handball or badminton or something where they weren't excited before and then they see it and they're like, oh, that's more interesting than I thought it was.
[392] Yeah.
[393] Man, I'm really frustrated at this board.
[394] You guys have made some good picks.
[395] All right.
[396] I'm going to go with a light lift.
[397] I mean, how can I break down weightlifting?
[398] Well, one guy just lifted more than the other.
[399] Good form, I guess.
[400] He didn't pee himself.
[401] Some guy shit himself.
[402] Yeah, so I'm going to go weightlifting.
[403] You say that Chris.
[404] I'm in a group chat that follows weightlifting.
[405] So, like, I'm an outsource of work for me. I've told you the story before, Chris, of how it is that I became someone aware of the nation of Qatar, just knowing that it existed.
[406] I'd never heard of it, how to spell it, anything.
[407] At an Olympics I was at where Cutter was trying to legitimize itself by buying a bunch of Bulgarian weightlifters who were on steroids, all of whom were fleeing the Olympic village with diarrhea because of the amount of diuretics they were taken.
[408] to get around the cheating, but they help launder the money for Qatar.
[409] So it is now the giant Olympic country that you now know because they bought a bunch of Bulgarian weightlifters.
[410] This may be a controversial take for someone that is known to cover the sport as I do, but I'm good with steroids and weightlifting more.
[411] Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Lebitard Show.
[412] Are you more okay with steroids in weightlifting than you are in other sports with your sliding scale of Moralities.
[413] I was really alarmed by the rest of you having zero interest in Pablo giving you the cheating information that an Olympic sport is totally corrupt through Putin.
[414] He was giving you the veggies.
[415] We were giving you the French fries.
[416] That's a dance.
[417] For everybody that wasn't into fencing and match fixing and oligarchs, we were there with the non -sex beds.
[418] We're more worried about Pablo, to be honest.
[419] He's risking it all for saber fencing.
[420] He's going to end.
[421] up getting pushed out of a window.
[422] We'd be like, damn, that's crazy.
[423] That happens a lot.
[424] I've got to fix those damn windows over there.
[425] It's not the hill you would expect a journalist to want to die on.
[426] Well, I ain't going to be a hill.
[427] It's got to be a window cell.
[428] It's definitely a window.
[429] It's always a window.
[430] You can land on a hill.
[431] He's got to get a shot if he lands on a hill.
[432] Just got to make sure we tell his story.
[433] Billy, what are you going to end up covering?
[434] I'm going to do trampoline.
[435] Oh, damn.
[436] All right.
[437] That was on my list.
[438] Is this a snake draft?
[439] Do I now go again?
[440] You should.
[441] That's true.
[442] No, I think we're just covering...
[443] I'm not covering multiple sports.
[444] Well, why not?
[445] It's two each, we agree.
[446] Didn't you go to Barcelona?
[447] I'm covering breakdancing and only breakdancing.
[448] Why?
[449] Well, does that mean you also get popping locks?
[450] What else are you guys covering?
[451] Is the guy that goes, Jesus Christ!
[452] Is he in this?
[453] You're next.
[454] I missed the cut.
[455] No, it's a snake.
[456] No, it's a snake trap.
[457] Wait, hold on a second.
[458] Stugats isn't here.
[459] Just, Jesus, cross.
[460] I'm going to go flag football.
[461] It's not available.
[462] There was confusion.
[463] It's on the Olympics.
[464] We got this from Olympics .com, not to do a Sue God's bit.
[465] It's not until 2026.
[466] It's an Olympic sport, but not in this one.
[467] Sorry.
[468] All right.
[469] Well, then I'm obviously going to go with modern pentathlon.
[470] Okay.
[471] That goes without saying.
[472] I know what that is, but tell the group.
[473] Damn.
[474] Well, I mean, there's regular and then there's modern.
[475] I'm doing modern.
[476] There's old -fashioned.
[477] I'm more of a Greco -Roman pentathlon.
[478] Don't ask me about the regular because I'm only going to do modern.
[479] Yeah.
[480] I'm going to go with equestrian.
[481] What happened to the snake's job?
[482] There's no order.
[483] There's chaos here.
[484] Dan just picked one.
[485] Yeah, but Dan gave up his second break.
[486] You better be serious about this.
[487] If there's a break in competition that you're not on, I'm going to be really disappointed, considering you had first pick.
[488] I'm going with my second pick, artistic swimming.
[489] Wow.
[490] I can't believe you guys left me rhythmic gymnastics, but you did.
[491] What is artistic swimming?
[492] You got it.
[493] He's going to find out.
[494] No, think about what artistic swimming is.
[495] It's a 1940s musical.
[496] Synchronized swimming?
[497] No, God, no. No, no, it is synchronized.
[498] It better be.
[499] It's synchronized.
[500] It's in the eye of the beholder.
[501] Thank you.
[502] Yeah.
[503] Yeah, I'm doing rhythmic gymnastics, which I hope is like a ribbon.
[504] I like my two sports.
[505] Are you guys aware that I've tried to do synchronize swimming with the U .S. women's team?
[506] What does that mean?
[507] That I have been in a pool in it in Atlanta while they were doing what they were doing, and I was trying to do it with them.
[508] Invited?
[509] or is a creeper.
[510] You just saw him and you dove in the...
[511] You jumped in the pool?
[512] I saw a video of a dude doing that at Montreal Canadiens practice.
[513] He just hopped on the rink and took a couple shots at Jose T. I was overcome with inspiration.
[514] I was just walking by to the commissary and I saw that they were practicing and I'm like, I'll join whether I'm invited or not.
[515] And I just put on, you know, my speedo and ran out there.
[516] Do you think it's like a rookie of the year situation?
[517] Who the hell is that?
[518] He's amazing.
[519] I assure you that's not what it was.
[520] I actually did.
[521] Was that a snort somewhere that I heard?
[522] I actually kicked one of the girls in the face accidentally while trying to execute a spin.
[523] Yeah, that happened.
[524] Billy, what are you, what is the second sport you're taking?
[525] I think I'm going to do sport climbing.
[526] What is that?
[527] It's sport climbing.
[528] It's like rock climbing.
[529] Hopefully it's more parkour.
[530] I think it's speed.
[531] I like him.
[532] Big fan of his.
[533] You guys have no idea the sports you're selecting.
[534] Well, this is also like the ones we knew.
[535] Yeah, this is a cultural exchange.
[536] We're in this to learn.
[537] So you're going to teach us over the course of coming weeks.
[538] Like, I'm going to teach you about break dance.
[539] Be boys and be girls.
[540] Okay.
[541] And there's still, you get another one, Dan.
[542] There's still more sports.
[543] We'll have Jess pick a couple.
[544] Like, we're going to have my dad pick a couple.
[545] So we're good.
[546] Yeah, because this one really well.
[547] I didn't feel like it did.
[548] It was something that I regretted almost immediately after we started.
[549] You just decided I'm only having one sports.
[550] Why don't you do BMX freestyle, Dan?
[551] Because I'm not following multiple.
[552] I'm not going to follow multiple sports here.
[553] Why?
[554] Because I'm not interested.
[555] Putting you down for boxing.
[556] You have a good experience with that.
[557] I'm putting you down for boxing.
[558] Cubans are good at that historically.
[559] I'm good at sugar that I am good at.

[575] Don Lebatard.
[576] He said while you were off there, while the connection was bad, he had mentioned that you have lost a lot of weight and that he admires that.
[577] What got into you?
[578] Why did you decide?
[579] I thought it was all, I thought we enjoyed being about the Munchy.
[580] Yeah.
[581] Oh, it's slurring again.
[582] Okay.
[583] The connection is bad again, unfortunately.
[584] Back to Magnus.
[585] Okay, back to Magnus and this is going about as well as it could go.
[586] Thank you, Billy, again, for laughing in my face.
[587] Stugats.
[588] Magnus.
[589] I mean, I am.
[590] This is the worst, can you guys hear you.
[591] Hello.
[592] Yes, sir, action.
[593] Hello.
[594] Action.
[595] Man, I'm really sorry.
[596] This is literally the worst way to ever do this.
[597] This is burning my heart that this is.
[598] happening.
[599] But if you could hear me, just understand.
[600] I'm sorry.
[601] This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stucats.
[602] Can you guys explain to me?
[603] Because I have not been able to lure Billy into a discussion on what it is that's actually going on with Messi and inner Miami.
[604] Mike Ryan continues to be interested in this soccer team for a lot of different reasons that don't have to do with Messi.
[605] You're a season ticket holder.
[606] I am.
[607] I'm an inaugural season ticket holder.
[608] inner Miami.
[609] Yes.
[610] I'm taking a bath this last week because I sell all my tickets.
[611] I don't go to the games.
[612] I don't want to go to the games.
[613] I want to make that money.
[614] Matter of fact, I have a friend who I used to split the tickets with.
[615] He didn't want to do with me again this year because the ticket price went up so much.
[616] Mike Ryan knows about that.
[617] But I'm like, nah, I'm in it to win it.
[618] I think I'm going to make some money here.
[619] And I would sell all the tickets for two, three, sometimes four times the amount.
[620] I send my buddy a jiff of the million dollar man laughing.
[621] Who you're covering this here for the Olympics?
[622] The who?
[623] Well, so now the week, I can't get...
[624] You don't know the million dollar, man. What is he laughing about?
[625] Come on.
[626] Everybody's got price.
[627] He's so rich.
[628] He's so much rich.
[629] He's so much richer than everybody that he just laughs at people because he has more money than they do.
[630] Everybody's got price.
[631] So I haven't been able to sell my tickets recently.
[632] I had to go last week.
[633] I didn't want to go.
[634] I had to go.
[635] And so...
[636] Yeah.
[637] Yeah.
[638] Well, that's the whole point.
[639] That's why I can't give them away.
[640] So, yeah.
[641] Well, they're playing really well.
[642] I know people want to...
[643] to see messy.
[644] There's plenty of stars on the team.
[645] This team seems to be really, really, really good.
[646] They're running away with a supporter show.
[647] Why won't anyone buy my tickets?
[648] Well, because they want to see messy.
[649] That's the draw.
[650] But they begin the League's Cup, which I know a lot of people poked holes in how much it meant because it was an inaugural version of the competition.
[651] For people like me that follow both League of MECCs and MLS, this is a dream competition where you get to see all these matchups and see who goes head to head.
[652] But I do think that Inter Miami have really navigated this messy stuff quite well as because their manager.
[653] Tata Martino has shown he came into the league with quite the pedigree, having succeeded within the league, but also abroad.
[654] And he knows how to navigate seasons that have a lot of cup competitions.
[655] And you're seeing just that.
[656] Here Miami is super deep.
[657] Zaz is a season ticket holder and he literally got up and left while I was speaking.
[658] He did.
[659] And he said, Someone bought his seat.
[660] He said moments ago, I had to go to an Inner Miami game as if he was obligated.
[661] And then seconds later, he had to go.
[662] He left the room in the middle of what it is that we're doing.
[663] He hit us with, I got to jump on a meeting.
[664] Yeah, I'm going to my first Inter Miami match of the season on Saturday.
[665] I'm not paying for it.
[666] MLS is inviting me, but I'm going to get to see what my old seats look like now.
[667] And it'll be kind of sad.
[668] Sorry.
[669] I'm excited for this competition, and I don't know how many people will watch it without Messy in it, because it did feel like an event last year.
[670] I do feel like people were tuning in out of the curiosity to see, to see Messi in that shirt for the first time, but it's a damn good competition.
[671] Is there any particular reason that you made the distinction of, I didn't pay for tickets, I didn't do anything?
[672] Because the tickets are really expensive.
[673] Other than get invited by MLS.
[674] Yeah, because it's, I, I stopped being a season ticket holder because I got priced out.
[675] Same.
[676] It'd be weird if I, if I, if I, all of a sudden just bought tickets again.
[677] It's not just a principled stand.
[678] It's, yeah, it's an economic stand.
[679] I can't, I can't go to these games for the seats that I got used to.
[680] I don't want to pile around in the upper deck with folks.
[681] So you were really making a distinction in the event that someone called you out on the inconsistency of you got priced out on tickets.
[682] You decided to not, uh, support the franchise anymore with your dollars because you got priced out.
[683] And you were, you were, were basically filing that as a countermeasure against future criticism for going to a game?
[684] I'm not sure how much criticism I would get.
[685] I genuinely don't think people care at all.
[686] Certainly in this office about inner Miami, but it's legit.
[687] I got priced out.
[688] And I'm sad about it.
[689] It's not like I stopped following the team.
[690] Like Zaz, a founding season, the first time I was changing my baby, I fielded at a call from a ticket rep. I'm like, I'll be with you in one second, these tickets are really important to me because I think messy is going to be here.
[691] So I'm bummed that I'm not a season ticket holder anymore than that I got priced out, but I'm happy that the team is still winning and navigating this messy injury quite well.
[692] Do you have the group?
[693] Do you have an opinion on the local sports fan who buys tickets the way Stugat's bought tickets to the 2010 Miami Heat only with the intention of profiting off of every ticket and with no intention whatsoever at any point of going to the game so much so that he just spat at us a form of I had to go to the game as if he was given some sort of incarceration sentence.
[694] I have so much regret because this is such a much better tie -in to game time than grilling.
[695] Really had to reach for that one.
[696] Tony, you're getting a lot of support.
[697] I still say, Juju, please put it on the poll.
[698] better grilling experience, propane or charcoal, because while I am nobody's idea of a cook, I was just under the certainty that charcoal was better.
[699] But a lot of people are agreeing with you, Tony, that the grill is indeed a dad purchase.
[700] Thank you.
[701] You're not, uh, it, Billy, I'm sorry.
[702] It's a dad purchase after you already, like, it's after you already have children.
[703] It's not a, like, you wouldn't say I made a dad purchase before your child was born.
[704] It's a barbecue while you're still trying to get your child set up up.
[705] It's a griddle.
[706] It's a griddle.
[707] but no anything can be anything I can be have a dad purchased be a grill what does it matter to you I'm kind of surprised you didn't go with judo or karate for your draft picks don't you cover MMA?
[708] Yeah but it's one of the A's in MMA No it's no it's not It's one of the M and A's Well it's actually all three It's not one of the yards When you mix them all up You gotta know them all up But these are like it's like a deconstructed Mix martial art It's weird after taking alpha I have the sudden urge to watch judo A sudden urge?
[709] I don't think you'll like judo very much as a visual experience.
[710] Well, I'm familiar.
[711] I like the meme of the Brazilian jujitsu guy when someone breaks into his house.
[712] I like that.
[713] He's already on his back.
[714] You can't get back on the ground with somebody who knows jujitsu.
[715] So I am now reconciling publicly with the fact that I thought I was on the Alpha Brain brand that wasn't the Joe Rogan endorsed Alpha Brain.
[716] But Tony.
[717] It's not his endorse.
[718] It's his.
[719] It's his company.
[720] I've already purchased one of his jeans after seeing him kick a heavy punching bag with it.
[721] I'm like, wow, those jeans look incredible if I ever learn how to kick like that.
[722] And now that I'm on alpha brain, I actually think I might be able to kick like that and also shrink, maybe a foot and a half.
[723] How's the alpha brain experience going for you?
[724] So I didn't, the first day that I took it, I actually felt kind of foggy.
[725] But then I realized I was on the boat all day doing some day drinking, getting a lot of sun the previous day.
[726] so that might have been it.
[727] The second day, I was trying it.
[728] I felt like I had a decent day on the show.
[729] I was saying words and not just stumbling over myself.
[730] I picked up my daughter.
[731] I started cooking food.
[732] I made an incredible meal.
[733] I was putting clothes away.
[734] And I called my grandma in a moment that I 100 % would have forgotten to call her in.
[735] And I was doing all these things at the exact same time.
[736] I realized this is probably the alpha brain.
[737] So yesterday I played sports for the first time on Alpha Brain.
[738] Guys, this should be illegal.
[739] My reaction time was that of a cat.
[740] A 39 -year -old cat, but a cat.
[741] Much better than creaky old Mike that can't actually get around to certain things.
[742] Actually, stop like a four -game losing streak out there.
[743] I'm the oldest guy in my game by like a good eight years.
[744] After three days, you have felt the effects.
[745] This sounds like a paid advertisement.
[746] This sounds like an endorsement for Joe Rogan's Alphabrain.
[747] Joe Rogan's Alphabrain.
[748] And also, have you even considered that the Biden ticket should be, you know, It's a little bit fraudulent.
[749] A lot of people donated to Joe Biden and not Kamala Harris.
[750] Nobody actually voted for her.
[751] I've been told that Pete Rose is shaving, and he's next.
[752] Stugat's here for my friends over at SimplySafe.
