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] Jersey City, New Jersey.
[13] Please drink responsibly.
[14] This is the Dan Levatore show with the Stugats podcast.
[15] I really am going to campaign for Lucy to go to a Columbia soccer match at some point.
[16] Just go to, like, the league.
[17] I think there's a great addition of off -roading.
[18] When I came in, I...
[19] Maybe she doesn't want to go, though.
[20] You guys have scared me from going.
[21] You should be scared.
[22] Like, it was...
[23] It seems terrifying.
[24] And I don't do well in stressful situations.
[25] I get tummy angst when I'm anxious, so I'm not going to be able to do anything.
[26] More vents.
[27] Yeah, and I thought that was just like a Disney Channel thing.
[28] I never thought people actually climbed events.
[29] I thought it was like a quick sand type of deal where it's just something you see on Disney.
[30] You've never watched Die Hard?
[31] I've seen Die Hard.
[32] I don't like Die Hard because I'm really queasy with blood and the scene where he has to like walk on the glass.
[33] I can't do it.
[34] I see those people climbing through a vent to get into a sporting event and I feel sad for.
[35] I get a life.
[36] What are you doing?
[37] know how journalism works and reporting, but I have a source, a text that somebody affiliated with that stadium, that that doesn't lead anywhere.
[38] And that inside there, like, they talk to an AC guy that works at the stadium and they're like, there's probably people inside an empty wall.
[39] Like, there's, where those people are climbing right now, leads nowhere.
[40] Yeah, so they, hopefully they turned around and realized that there were a bunch of people that were, I saw a media member, a credentialed media member, got tackled by police.
[41] I know people that had credentials to this event and weren't able to actually access their credentials because of everything that went down.
[42] So thankfully, you weren't at this one, Lucy.
[43] But I wanted to talk to you about it with all your experience.
[44] But then I stumbled upon your purse.
[45] And I thought this was like a really cool purse.
[46] For those that don't have the video accompaniment, there is a, the handle is a ruby red phone, like Dorothy's shoes, but it's an old school handset for her phone.
[47] And I was like, wow, what a really cool thing that you picked up thrifting.
[48] because I know you go thrifting, but that's not an old school purse.
[49] No, it is not.
[50] So, most of you know, it was my birthday last week.
[51] Happy birthday.
[52] Thank you.
[53] And I always get myself something nice for my birthday.
[54] And I saw a TikTok of this, and I was so easily influenced, and I needed it.
[55] It's Betsy Johnson.
[56] Betsy Johnson makes, like, a bunch of weird quirky stuff.
[57] She's a very famous designer.
[58] And so I saw this, and I was like, I need this purse phone bag.
[59] And so the coolest part about this purse phone is that it works.
[60] So Chris Cody is going to call me and I'm going to pick up on my purse phone.
[61] So you can direct all your calls to your purse phone?
[62] Yeah, yeah.
[63] So if you need to call me, I'll just pick up.
[64] Okay, so Chris is calling me. Look, you can see this ringing.
[65] I don't know if you can hear the sound, but I'm going to pick it up.
[66] Oh, hello.
[67] Oh, yeah.
[68] It's a purse phone.
[69] Hey, what's up?
[70] Lucy.
[71] How's it going?
[72] It's amazing.
[73] Do you know, like, do you realize if James Bond did this in the 19, 1960s, we'd all be like, get out of town.
[74] Get out of town.
[75] This is super cool.
[76] All right, I'll talk to you later.
[77] Okay, I'll talk to you later.
[78] Wait, I can hang up.
[79] I can hang up, but you don't hang up.
[80] Yeah, she's got the satisfying.
[81] Can it click?
[82] Yeah, so I have this little button here that will, like, answer my calls, and then hang up my calls, and it has these little buttons here that will, like, adjust the volume, and then I just put it, and I click it back into my punches.
[83] But you just slam it down.
[84] No, I can't slam it down, which sucks, and I wish that the little, like, turn buttons worked on it, but I can't, like, direct any calls out of it.
[85] It's Bluetooth connected to my actual phone.
[86] Do you have any actual life experience with hanging up a lane line?
[87] Like, like in anger?
[88] It's a great feeling.
[89] Oh, dude, it's an underrated feeling.
[90] Or a pay phone.
[91] Oh, Judge.
[92] Have you ever used a pay phone?
[93] I've never used a pay phone.
[94] Oh, either.
[95] That's how you would get picked up from the youth fair.
[96] Yeah, what you, youth fair.
[97] The Dade County Youth Fair, yeah.
[98] You would call, you would either beep your ride.
[99] Yep.
[100] Sometimes you'd beep a crush like AIDS.
[101] By beep, you're saying pager, right?
[102] Like a pager, right?
[103] Hey, what did you do?
[104] Yeah.
[105] Not to be a bummer, but when my parents got divorced, my divorce gift was a cell phone.
[106] And so I had a cell phone at a really young age, which my first cell phone, my homemade lava lamp exploded on it.
[107] And then my second cell phone, I lost in Toys R Us because that's how young I was.
[108] And so I've had, like, a bunch of cell phones, and I've had, like, the cool, like, flip -to -hang -up cell phone, which I missed that a lot.
[109] And then I had a landline before my parents got divorced, so that's just another thing I lost.
[110] So, but now I have my purse phone, which I'm not going to give my number out, so no one call me, but my friends can call me. It needs a satisfying, like, feeling.
[111] No, the button doesn't do it.
[112] You've got to slam a phone down.
[113] No, it's super satisfying.
[114] If you watch Dante's Peak, Pierce Brosden picks up a phone and he's like, put the town on alert, and he slams it and it's like way more thing.
[115] You can practice on my purse phone if you want, but please be gentle with it.
[116] We have to put the town on alert.
[117] Oh, and for the audio listeners, my bag is super cute.
[118] It has cherries on it, and the phone is bedazzled.
[119] Really?
[120] Now, can you see who's calling you when the call comes in?
[121] No. That was another one of the charms of having a landline.
[122] Right, you had no idea what you were getting.
[123] I would answer it as like a six -year -old boy, and they would always say, hello, ma 'am.
[124] I'm like, what's your problem?
[125] I lived with my grandparents at the turn of the century, which seems like a really dated way to do that, but I was in high school.
[126] This is when the PS2 came out, and they actually had a rotary phone, which made, like, calling for PS2s a mission because everything was pressed.
[127] two for for electronics press two i don't have a touchstone phone so like i'm literally like going to nothing's happening because i don't actually type anything out on the rotary phone so that's how old i am but now i'm really excited to get home in a four o 'clock play a video game like you wouldn't believe speaking of four o 'clock the boys me and taylor streaming wow the second it drops the second it drops as you can see on screen the boys going to be ready four o 'clock why biggest game on the planet.
[128] Why are you doing this?
[129] I would not want to be on the internet the first time.
[130] I need to be by myself experiencing this.
[131] I hear you, but we're doing this for the masses that don't, maybe you're at work, maybe don't have the opportunity to go out and get it.
[132] Like, we're doing it for them.
[133] So everybody in the chat, everybody who's listening, go check us out, 4 o 'clock, all the usual places.
[134] What a sacrifice.
[135] You're so brave.
[136] Have you also told your wife this day is coming and that you're going to be a worse version of yourself?
[137] She knows.
[138] And obviously she's pregnant and we're expecting.
[139] and it's coming to the momentum is, hey, look, this is what I'm going to be doing.
[140] I just want you to know.
[141] Newborn baby.
[142] Not for long, Tommy.
[143] Newborn baby, though, five months, six months.
[144] Low key, that's a great time to get in the gaming because your social life is ruined anyways.
[145] So you're just kind of leaning into it by doing that.
[146] But my wife and I, we both, scheduled a lot of activities for this week.
[147] I'm going to a concert tomorrow night.
[148] not too jacked about that now.
[149] I'm going on a boat on the weekend kind of already regretting that.
[150] Get some rest, man. Twisters is coming out.
[151] I'm doing twisters.
[152] Are you pumped for twisters?
[153] Are you pumped for twisters?
[154] Are you doing a running out the theater again?
[155] Yeah, you want to come with?
[156] Here's what I'm doing.
[157] You know my experience with the Last Mission Impossible movie.
[158] I got a 4DX seat, and I didn't know what that meant.
[159] And so my wife and I, we order a bottle of wine.
[160] I'm trying to pour it as Ethan is is motorcycling or running and it's just so now the challenge is I'm going to wear all white to twisters and drink a bottle of wine and see what the damage is at the end of it because yeah I'm doing 40X now Glenn Powell is a superstar he is having a moment dude that dude is such a movie star so charismatic dude anybody like we're going to look back at that cast of Top Gun Maverick Miles Teller had a huge gallery at the ACC he did that is going to king make so many people not only did Tom Cruise save cinema with Top Gun Maverick, but he also entered in a whole new, a whole new generation of Hollywood movie stars because we hadn't had those 10 -pull movie stars, and now Glenn Powell is going to breathe new life into the Twisters franchise.
[161] I'm really excited about this.
[162] Early reviews are good.
[163] I like Glenn Powell a lot.
[164] I saw his last movie, too, which was like a direct -to -stream.
[165] It was about...
[166] Is that the Hitman one?
[167] Yeah.
[168] Oh, it's great.
[169] Yeah, it was really good.
[170] that movie.
[171] Yeah, I'm a big Glenn Powell guy.
[172] Danny Ramirez is also in Top Gun Maverick.
[173] He's a local guy.
[174] I think he went to Coral Park, big Keynes fan.
[175] Friend of mine, his career is blowing the F up.
[176] He's in the trailer for the new Captain America movie.
[177] He's doing a movie with Waking Phoenix.
[178] I'm telling you.
[179] Tom Cruise is making careers.
[180] Tom Cruise saves cinema.
[181] He should be thinking.
[182] I agree with you.
[183] I know he's weird and it comes with a lot of baggage and stuff, but that dude is undeniably a movie star and he saved cinema and he should get a special Oscar for doing so.
[184] really like Glenn Powell and I like that he keeps bringing his dog everywhere with him.
[185] Very cute little dog.
[186] But my thing with Glenn Powell is I'm getting a little nervous that we might be overdoing it because it feels like he's in every movie lately.
[187] And I like him.
[188] I think he's really good and charismatic and fun.
[189] But I feel like he's like two more like big movies in like the upcoming future.
[190] We'll get tired of him.
[191] We'll get tired of him.
[192] We're like, hey, we just have a little too much of you in one short period of time.
[193] So I think Glenn Powell should just chill out for a little bit.
[194] I heard he's moving back to Texas.
[195] I know he's a big college football fan, so he's probably playing the game.
[196] So just Glenn, take a little break, keep posting the dog content, and then come back so that we don't get too sick of you.
[197] So lighten up on the Powell is what you're saying.
[198] Yeah.
[199] Do a hit on college game day?
[200] I don't know, but some actors, that doesn't, you know, we had a lot of Tom Cruise early on, and that didn't seem to impact his career.
[201] He was fine.
[202] No, he came out totally normal by it.
[203] Hollywood didn't make Tom Cruise weird at all.
[204] I'm just saying we didn't get tired of Tom Cruise.
[205] But you didn't have social media, like, doing what is happening right now with Glenn Powell.
[206] Because if you go on TikTok or you go on Twitter right now, like he is everywhere doing everything, doing TikTok dances, doing press tours where they're linking him to every single actress that he's in a movie with and doing the relationship baiting.
[207] But he's just the most charismatic person that exists right now and you don't want to enjoy that charisma as opposed to overdoing it.
[208] I get what Lucy's saying.
[209] I think I can make a solid argument that Top Gun Maverick is one of the most important movies ever.
[210] Agreed.
[211] Not just because it was awesome.
[212] It was a great movie.
[213] It was the middle of the pandemic.
[214] The first time I went out to do anything during the pandemic.
[215] We needed that to work so bad.
[216] I don't think you have things like Borbenheimer that happen afterwards.
[217] I went to the movies for Tenet, and it was not an event.
[218] We needed something to bring us back, but also we're talking about Tom Cruise as if, like, we've never gotten sick of him.
[219] Tom Cruise needed Top Gun Maverick, too.
[220] He really stuck his neck out for that.
[221] He needed that bad.
[222] Remember, the going clear thing kind of ruined Tom Cruise.
[223] Cruz.
[224] It's certainly canceled in terms of a lot of people left the church of Scientology, a lot of people distanced themselves from it.
[225] Tom Cruise needed that.
[226] He needed the movie, the role.
[227] And also, we got SARS.
[228] We got, we ushered in a whole new generation of movies SARS.
[229] That is one of low -key, like the most important movies ever made.
[230] Stugatia for my friends over at Simply Safe.
[231] If you're like me, you're constantly thinking about the safety of the people and things you value most.

[244] Don Lebertard.
[245] I win in the margins.
[246] I'm like, I'm like, you're money ball of sex.
[247] I'm basically Scott Hatterber for fucking.
[248] Stugats.
[249] A lot of walks, but I'm on base.
[250] When it comes to sex, a lot of Fowtips.
[251] Other dudes, they can be Giambi.
[252] You know your role you play well?
[253] I know my role.
[254] This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats.
[255] Speaking of creepy crews, did you see him at Wimbledon yesterday?
[256] No. Center court right behind Kate Middleton.
[257] I missed it.
[258] So my flight got delayed, leaving.
[259] Tahoe is so beautiful, and I feel like they go out of their way to make it really impossible to get there.
[260] Oh, it's hard, man. It's really difficult.
[261] My wife and I, we had made a commitment to start our dynasty at the university in Nevada, hashtag Battleborn.
[262] And then our flight got canceled at the airport, and we ceased being able to see ourselves there.
[263] You can negative recruit this place.
[264] It's not easy to get to.
[265] My flight got canceled, then it forced me to miss the Wimbledon men's final.
[266] which seemed like a dream matchup.
[267] Did the match deliver at all?
[268] It's something that I wanted to dedicate all the time in the world for it, and I couldn't.
[269] I was on a plane.
[270] It did not deliver.
[271] Alcaraz is so good, and I'm not certain.
[272] I don't know how many people, especially within our crew, love tennis.
[273] I know you and I love tennis.
[274] We talk about tennis all the time.
[275] And Alcaraz, what he is doing is historical.
[276] He is 21 years old.
[277] He just won the French.
[278] He won on the grass courts of Wimbledon.
[279] four or five guys in the history of tennis have won those two tournaments in the same year.
[280] He's got the U .S. Open coming up.
[281] He's likely going to win that.
[282] The most impressive thing about Alcoraz yesterday, Mike, was that he took care of Djokovic and he did so in three sets.
[283] And the third set, the Joker, he was pushing him.
[284] He was pushing him.
[285] In fact, he had three match points Alcaraz did.
[286] He lost that game.
[287] Then it went to a tiebreaker and Alcarus somehow got past that.
[288] mentally and was able to finish it off.
[289] But to see that guy beat the Joker in three consecutive sets on his court, that is his court.
[290] It's the surface he likes the most.
[291] And to have a guy now who has four majors at the age of 21, he's on path to be the greatest tennis player we've ever seen Spain had a day yesterday.
[292] Spain had a day, no doubt.
[293] And they're also just got to boss tennis now.
[294] It seems like that's their thing.
[295] So it's really unfortunate.
[296] that Jokovic is dealing with these injuries now, because he was still, prior to this recent injury stretch, he was still as good as he ever was.
[297] Correct.
[298] And so you could have that measuring stick for Akaraas, but he's probably got to go on a bit of a Federer -like run, and that remember at the very beginning of Federer's run, Nadal wasn't on board yet, Murray was still finding his footing, like the top guy.
[299] And Djokovic wasn't there yet.
[300] Jokovic wasn't really, like, he was really young.
[301] like he was going up against the likes of Andy Roddick and there was a huge gulf between Fed and the rest of the field.
[302] I don't think it's quite that because guys like Medvedev and Sinner are going to push him, but he's pretty clearly better than them.
[303] And we'll see what that means for tennis because I think there's a really special time that we're coming out of in men's tennis where I'll lump Murray in there too because when Murray was healthy and he won one.
[304] Murray was great.
[305] His run was a little bit shorter and his run actually just officially came to an end.
[306] But you had Bovrenka, like you had a bunch of guys operating in that, in that generation, Stan, Andy, Nadal, Federer, Jokovic, five guys that if they were born just in a different time would probably be considered the greatest men's tennis player ever because they just would have dominated the field.
[307] They would have patted their sets so much.
[308] Now it's just Alcarat.
[309] Like he has no one pushing him.
[310] I feel like the only guy pushing him is Jokovic.
[311] He's getting older.
[312] He's coming off the injury.
[313] Sinner is there and there's a lot of Look, American tennis is really good.
[314] We got a couple of guys that can possibly push them.
[315] And you know, you've seen the Marty Fish documentary on Netflix.
[316] These tennis pros, they become consumed with taking down the top guy.
[317] I don't think one guy is going to run it, but I do think Carlos is going to have the run of it for like a few majors.
[318] Tennis is funny in that you always think, okay, the superstars are done.
[319] There's no one around the corner.
[320] But there's always someone around the corner.
[321] I didn't know Algaraz was going to be this.
[322] I didn't know he existed three years ago.
[323] And there's a couple of guys that can maybe rebound.
[324] Like Vavrenka was a guy that, oh, he can actually be a lead.
[325] I didn't really see that.
[326] Djokovic also started his career like, okay, is this guy going to be a bump in the road for these guys?
[327] Or is he actually going to have a say?
[328] And you had those questions about him.
[329] I think I have questions about the surrounding field around Atkaras right now.
[330] Like I could see them getting there.
[331] Like Sitsipas.
[332] Is he a guy that can turn it around because he has all the tools?
[333] Can he actually find that promise?
[334] I don't know.
[335] Jeremy, did you find the Roger Federer run before, like, those guys got online?
[336] It's a crazy run because he won his first Wimbledon in 2003, and then he won three grand slams in 2004, two grand slams in 2005, three grand slams in 2006, and two grand slams in 2007.
[337] Yeah, I think like that's crazy.
[338] Like the mid -2000s, like he was, I think he lost a Del Potra.
[339] who was another guy that might have been all -time great if he didn't get super hurt.
[340] But it wasn't...
[341] It's like what Jordan played.
[342] There were just a lot of guys who weren't going to win titles because Jordan was there.
[343] We've all kind of convinced ourselves that that was what that generation was.
[344] It was just those three guys just ripping each other's heads off trying to get there.
[345] And no, like Federer had a pretty sustained run, and it took like several years of those guys running into that wall before they could finally topple them.
[346] But this was interesting yesterday, and you'll appreciate this because you know this happened.
[347] With Federer towards the end, he was working so hard.
[348] and he was getting older, getting older, getting older, and still putting in the same amount of work, if not more, because he had to compensate for the fact that he was getting older.
[349] Then he realized, what am I doing all this for?
[350] I get to the finals, I can't beat the Joker.
[351] I can't beat the Dahl in France, and I can't beat the Joker anywhere else.
[352] I'm out of here.
[353] I'm done.
[354] And I seem to sense that with Djokovic yesterday.
[355] It doesn't matter what I do, how hard I train.
[356] I'm not being that guy.
[357] I'm going to get to the finals and play this guy, and I'm not going to beat him.
[358] He's a younger version of me. Yeah, so, like, when Nadal burst on the scene, I know Nadal was always good on clay, and he was given Federer, like, fits on clay at the French, right, at Roland Garros?
[359] Yeah, it was 2005, six, seven, and eight.
[360] It was Nadal in the French, and then 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and then 17, 18, 19, 20, and 22.
[361] Like, the moment everything changed, though, that's crazy.
[362] You're laughing at it.
[363] It's ridiculous.
[364] The moment everything changed, though, was when Nadal beat Federer at Wimbledon.
[365] because now we could do it at another that was 2008 he also For my money the greatest men's tennis match of all time the 2008 final between Federer and Nadal that was unbelievable I could rewatch that match You're including the Isner match at Wimbledon first round It took three days They changed the rules because of that match because of Isner No there's a lot of great like There's a lot of scrappy There's a lot of Dgen favorites Like Isner's a long time DGEN favorite Gail Montfis is another guy that you'd go to war with is this the longest any sports show in the history of sports radio or podcasting is talk tennis?
[366] I think Roddick has a podcast called Served Up.
[367] I'm not even certain he talks tennis.
[368] I don't know.
[369] I'm just asking.
[370] I'm enjoying the conversation.
[371] Dave comes back tomorrow.
[372] It should be noted.
[373] Get the tennis in now.
[374] We really shoo -horned.
[375] We had two months of Sugatz's tennis takes, so we had to get out there.
[376] I mean, Alka -Ras, man. He's pacing to be the greatest player of all time.
[377] I love tennis.
[378] I never thought I would see someone.
[379] better than Federer Nadal Djokovic.
[380] This guy's better?
[381] I'm not going to...
[382] He's better.
[383] I'm not there yet.
[384] He's really great.
[385] Now, he made the people, you know, they have the champions dinner last night, and he made these people, you know, all the people attending, wait around until 10 p .m. to eat dinner on a Sunday night.
[386] That is rude.
[387] They do their dinner on the back end of the tournament.
[388] It was last night.
[389] I know the masters do theirs, like, the front end before the tournament starts the previous champion.
[390] I like that.
[391] They have a dance.
[392] It's like a ball.
[393] And you have dinner.
[394] But he was watching.
[395] watching England and Spain.
[396] So we made everyone wait around until 10.
[397] They're rude.
[398] I mean, by the way, I'm not going if that's the deal.
[399] I'll eat at seven and you show up and I'm out there, too bad.
[400] Stu, you got to start putting pressure on Alcoraz immediately though, because you look at this run for Federer, you look at the run Nadal had at the French Open and you need to see, all right, do it 10 years in a row.
[401] How many grand slams can you win early before that next challenge shows up for you?
[402] He hasn't won in Australia yet.
[403] Do it down under.
[404] You've got to figure it out.
[405] Start issuing challenges.
[406] are you going to challenge marty fish to do it against step curry i mean listen marty the reason this meant so much to marty is the year he won it there there were no fans there and i've been giving him a hard time saying do it in front of the fans and so is that his only second win that's only a second win yeah so last year he had the incident where he was leading on 18 or shit someone yeah so do it in front of the fans and then the fans went out of their way to actively sabotage his championship last year correct and they did they cost him a championship step curry uh won it did not come back.
[407] He went to his credit.
[408] He won it with an eagle on 18.
[409] And a hole in one earlier in the round.
[410] Tim Brown had a hole in one yesterday.
[411] Yeah, he got a boat, but he lives in Dallas.
[412] He just gets a check, right?
[413] They're like, you can take the boat or we'll just get you?
[414] I guess there's a lake somewhere in suburban Fort Worth.
[415] So Marty's upset because last year, it was in front of the fans and he should have won, but some guy yelled, whatever he yelled during his back swing.
[416] Yesterday he did win in front of the fans, but he won without Steph Curry being there.
[417] So do it when Steph is there.
[418] I think people that don't watch this tournament are just thinking, oh, a bunch of celebrities playing golf, who cares?
[419] Marty's Saturday golf.
[420] It's unbelievable.
[421] His putting on Saturday is an all -time golfing achievement.
[422] Agreed.
[423] I don't know the exact numbers, but it felt like over six puts of over 25 feet.
[424] It was like it was right up there, I'm telling you, with Nicholas back nine Augusta, 1986, the putting.
[425] Did you see when the fan chirped him?
[426] So a fan like, Marty goes up to the green.
[427] to put for Bertie, and the fan goes, hey, Marty, hope you three putt, which is like, number one, who the F has a problem with Marty Fishing cares that much about, like, to say that?
[428] Oddly specific, chirp, dude.
[429] Someone who has money on someone other than Marty Fish.
[430] Well, that's what happened the, dude, that's what happened the year before.
[431] The dude that heckled Marty on the back swing, he was caught, and he said, I'm sorry, I thought we were having fun out here.
[432] I have a bet on Steph Curry.
[433] So there is elements that you can gamble on this thing So the dude starts talking shit to Marty Start chirping him And Marty is like What is this guy's deal?
[434] We're all here trying to have fun Marty buries a 42 -foot putt And goes right at the guy Talk your stuff now and whatnot That fan got escorted by the way It's a pretty boss move Hell out of here Dude to nail a 42 -foot bird So at the players meeting they went out of their way to say if fans are talking while you're playing while you're swinging point them out and we'll take them out so you weren't at the players meeting I stuck my way in and I knew that real going in was Jerry Rice at the players meeting because something went a little viral with Jerry.
[435] What is happening with Jerry Rice?
[436] We'll escort them out not take them out Jerry got in a dude Jerry it was an ugly video that got posted I don't know TMZ Sports had it Jerry was making the walk from 17 which is a party hole to 18 such a harmless chirp that he got the opposite of him like the marty thing was at least like very specific this is just like hey the chiefs have good receivers no it wasn't a chirp it was a credentialed media guide now granted but it was kind of concept it was like well you could see i could see where he would be bothered by the question because jerry rice nineers legend but also if you were in the players meeting like i was the night before you would have learned no questions while the guys are walking down a fairway well he wasn't walking down the fairway no questions while they're playing golf it looked like that little middle area between like 17 to the basketball.
[437] That's where, if you want a selfie, if you want an autograph, that's where you post up.
[438] Now there's not typically media there, credentialed media, they're asking you questions as you make that walk.
[439] But that is the fun walk of Edgewood.
[440] Like that's where you have your fun.
[441] And a dude with a credential went up to Jerry Rice as he's making the walk.
[442] And this isn't even like a tournament day.
[443] This is Thursday.
[444] This is the loose day.
[445] And he says, hey, Jerry, what do you think?
[446] How do you think the Niners receivers stack up against Kansas City?
[447] Now, that could be loaded.
[448] Even if the World, even with the Super Bowl, it's just a harmless question.
[449] It's a harmless question.
[450] It's coming from a credentialed media member.
[451] Jerry snaps.
[452] And he's like, I will F you up right now.
[453] Like, the temperature of the room changed.
[454] He acted like he got disrespe.
[455] He's like, that was disrespectful.
[456] He misunderstood the question.
[457] No, he says, I will F you up, meet me. You say when?
[458] Like, the guy got hauled away.
[459] He's a credential meeting member.
[460] Like he went back the next day.
[461] It was just an ugly scene.
[462] But Jerry, and then I see him, he's all happy on Sunday.
[463] He's playing in the tournament.
[464] But there was another story there where I heard a guy, I overheard this conversation, telling security that Jerry Rice was rude to him, that he asked him to sign an autograph and Jerry Rice snap back, hey, you're a memorabilia guy.
[465] You're going to sell this thing for a lot more money.
[466] I get that.
[467] I get that.
[468] If Jerry recognizes like you're a memorabilia dealer and you're just trying to get one over, you're not actually a fan?
[469] I couldn't get that one.
[470] Yeah, but the guy wasn't.
[471] It was versus kids.
[472] Like, you're there, sign the stuff.
[473] Oh, what?
[474] He was lying about it?
[475] Well, then I can't get behind that.

[495] This is the Don Levitar show with the Stugats.
[496] Mancy today.
[497] Like my feet have been moving.
[498] It's not because I'm hosting, but I'm playing with stuff on the table.
[499] Like, I've done this before.
[500] It's because college football 25 comes out today.
[501] Oh, wow.
[502] And I've been waiting a decade for this moment.
[503] And, you know, as luck would have it, I got a schedule full of Zooms.
[504] It's just like, it's at the final turn.
[505] I'm down the stretch.
[506] It's a bad day for you.
[507] And it's just like, I got so much stuff to do.
[508] I wasn't expecting to sit in this chair today.
[509] They're just trying to make this final day.
[510] as long as possible, but I have the early access.
[511] So at 4 o 'clock, I will not be watching you and Taylor.
[512] I will be building a dynasty for the ages on my own time at home.
[513] But you, on our YouTube page, are going to be kind of unboxing this game and experiencing it all in real time with Taylor?
[514] Absolutely.
[515] What we're going to do is we're obviously going to play the game, but we're going to take you through all the different settings.
[516] We're going to go through all the road of glories and dynasty modes and all the stuff that you can see in the game.
[517] You're going to look through the settings.
[518] through it.
[519] The sliders are a big deal with it.
[520] What time's that at?
[521] This guy doesn't get it.
[522] Chris, you've been kind of...
[523] This guy's got a PS1 being like, oh, yeah, I don't play those games.
[524] I did just ask Taylor out there.
[525] I was like, what are you guys on the PS3?
[526] What are you guys cooking with?
[527] Apparently, they're on the five.
[528] Yeah, it's hard to get.
[529] I think I have the four, actually.
[530] Wow.
[531] I'm not sure.
[532] I have a PS.
[533] I got a PS.
[534] I'm not sure which one.
[535] You've kind of not been on board with the talks about college football.
[536] So you're just not a gamer at all?
[537] I like college football.
[538] I like the old.
[539] No, you don't.
[540] No, you don't.
[541] No, you don't.
[542] Because if you liked it, you would be.
[543] It's life.
[544] It's life.
[545] And you're funny?
[546] You guys say, talk this shit.
[547] I bet you I'd beat you all.
[548] Okay.
[549] Cool.
[550] Is that a threat?
[551] Good, tough talk.
[552] How would you do it?
[553] I would beat you by four, Tony.
[554] Okay.
[555] Well, spread more than a field goal.
[556] Spread would be plus three and a half for me. Are you in with us for Tony tonight?
[557] Yeah, I'll be there.
[558] Tony Show part two.
[559] Yeah, well, yeah, because Tony Tonight is kind of like confusing.
[560] It is.
[561] We got a couple things in the oven.
[562] Tony tonight.
[563] different story.
[564] That's where I go around Miami and do stuff.
[565] All right.
[566] So tell me what else we have.
[567] Tony Show, part two, the return.
[568] We have the Tony show that happened a couple of months ago.
[569] It's like the Truman Show.
[570] It's like the Truman Show, but this one is different.
[571] This one is back to the future because we're doing a couple of things different.
[572] And it's Tony.
[573] And it's, well, yeah, of course.
[574] But as you can see, Wednesday, July 17, starting at 7 o 'clock, p .m. The Tony Show 2 with a bunch of your favorite guests around here, maybe Chris.
[575] Wow, Lewis made the title.
[576] Like Lewis's name up on the same.
[577] Yeah, but he's Doc Brown in the photo.
[578] Clearly standing on a box.
[579] Really good graphic, though.
[580] I wanted to tell Angel to leave the box that he was standing on, but I didn't relay the message as quickly as I should have.
[581] But yeah, Tony Show Part 2, Wednesday 7 o 'clock.
[582] We're going to have a lot of fun.
[583] We're going to be playing PS2 games, which is why we're going back to the future.
[584] We're going through all the settings.
[585] Again, you don't get it.
[586] Wait, do I get to play Chris in this thing?
[587] What time is that at?
[588] The settings or the game?
[589] So we're playing a bunch of retro games.
[590] and we actually get to clap back at Chris.
[591] He's going to be playing games with us, too.
[592] He's going to be there playing.
[593] Whoever wants the noise, it'll be brought.
[594] We've got everything from Madden 07, NCAA football 2006, which I think is what we're going to start on right there.
[595] We've got MVP baseball.
[596] We've got NBA Live 2003.
[597] We got MVP baseball.
[598] Chris, I know MVP.
[599] MVP, John Dowd, get out of here.
[600] All of the retro games we have in our arsenal for the Tony show.
[601] Plus, we're going to be doing a best ball draft for the NFL season coming up with Draft Kings, which is going to be very exciting.
[602] excited about the best ball draft but we're going to have like the the video game results kind of dictate where we're where we're drafting i think so so it's only right now in the settings are we going to have it where you're really seizing on the settings thing it's a odd thing to go over that's not how it works you know what you know what he's doing he's not one of the cool kids and he's trying to make us feel bad about it by seizing on the settings you're not experiencing today the way that tony and i are experiencing today doesn't understand like the road to glory and what that means what's how we can look through it let's all go around and say our favorite setting.
[603] Mike, you first.
[604] But the Road to Glory has nothing to do with the settings, is what Chris has say.
[605] No, but Taylor and Tony, they're going to walk us through.
[606] We're going to walk through the settings.
[607] There's a lot of different things.
[608] You can disguise coverages now in NCAA football 2005, excuse me, where you couldn't back in the day, where you could show a cover two, but actually be in a cover one man. Wow.
[609] So I think there's a lot of different things that we can go through all the settings.
[610] Oh, a deke play.
[611] I know how to show you my deke plays.
[612] Do you think I'm showing you the real play?
[613] No. It's a deke play.
[614] Personnel subs I love the personnel groupings Heisman to answer your question Sliders on If we're looking at depth charts Now I'm in Because I love a good depth charts That's part of the settings That's part of the whole tour I don't care how low his rating is My fastest receiver Is gonna be in the slot Shouldn't have said that Just gave away some of the goods I like to put a corner At outside linebacker Oh dude you could do that That was my move And the Madden with Vic on the cover He was unstoppable So what I would do is if you sorted your team by speed, you'd have a lot of dime corners and a lot of like fifth and six guys in your secondary.
[615] They're speed demons, but they're not seeing the field.
[616] So replace your outside linebacker and have them essentially spy on Mike Vic, and that was the way to do it.
[617] If you ever really wanted to get crazy and depended on the guy that you were playing, if he was a one -trick pony and he was running with Vic the entire time, put Champ Bailey at outside linebacker.
[618] and I would spy on Mike Vick, and that was the only way.
[619] You want to get one all over.
[620] What's this cornerback?
[621] You have a 99 speed, but a 32 return rating?
[622] Well, you're still a returner.
[623] Yeah.
[624] Oh, always.
[625] Speed would dictate everything.
[626] I can make up the other 80%.
[627] I can't teach 99 overall speed.
[628] See, I know the game.
[629] It's the issue that we're going to have coming up for the Tony Show part two is the guys that want to play as Michael Vick or Vince Young in the NCAA football game where all they're going to do is run.
[630] Banned.
[631] That guy sucks.
[632] We got to ban Vick.
[633] I think it's Mike Malley, by the way.
[634] Mike Malley's that guy, because he played me with Texas the other day.
[635] Metal Lord.
[636] He ended up beating him.
[637] At a lot of us.
[638] Not All -Star.
[639] So you're unboxing.
[640] How long is tonight's brought?
[641] You just said that you're going to go through a lot of things.
[642] Today's show, who knows how long it's going to be.
[643] You're just in the menus.
[644] We're just in the menus.
[645] We're just looking around.
[646] All the new settings.
[647] Thank you, Chris.
[648] We're going to be playing games.
[649] We're going to be just unboxing.
[650] I want to look at uniform combination.
[651] I'm telling you.
[652] That's what I want.
[653] I want to hear the music.
[654] It might be three hours long.
[655] We don't know.
[656] Should we turn home field advantage on or off?
[657] It's always on, baby.
[658] I don't even know what that's a setting.
[659] It's a setting, which is why we're talking about it.
[660] But why would you turn it off?
[661] Neutral field?
[662] No, we can't do neutral fields.
[663] You've got to go home field advantage.
[664] Plus, you hit the bumpers, and then the crowd gets pumped up, and then we can go through the toughest places to play, 1 through 25.
[665] That's always exciting.
[666] Is it going to be jersey numbers or last names?
[667] Lucy, how did you feel about the rankings list for the toughest places to play?
[668] It wasn't accurate because Texan M was number one.
[669] they lose it home all the time.
[670] Like all the time.
[671] You lose it home to App State.
[672] That's no shade to App State.
[673] They're a great team.
[674] You should stop scheduling them.
[675] But once you do that, you are no longer the toughest place to play.
[676] This dude that works for ESPN stats or used to, he came out.
[677] He's like, when I was at ESPN, I was trying to actually quantify home field advantage in college football.
[678] Is one singular structure more difficult to play in if you're an opposing football team?
[679] And what he basically came back with is, If you've got a good football team, it's hard to play at that good football team.
[680] There's venues that are probably bad right now because their football teams are down bad that once their team gets good can be electric and impossible.
[681] Look, Miami Hurricanes fans get a ton of shit.
[682] They had the nation's longest win streak at the Orange Bowl.
[683] It was one of these places like you could never go in and play.
[684] But that works both ways because I'm guessing when Alabama was bad, Brian Denny Stadium, was not one of the most feared places to play in the country.
[685] Nick Sabins, Alabama.
[686] Now it is.
[687] Nick Saban's Alabama lost at home to U .L. Monroe.
[688] Yeah.
[689] That was year one of the Nick Saban experience.
[690] Then, if you ask U .L. Monroe, how it went for them afterwards visiting, they'd probably say pretty tough place to play.
[691] So it's all BS.
[692] Good football teams have good barns, essentially.
[693] What's the kicking meter going to be?
[694] The kicking meter I've seen is very tough, by the way, because it's one of the ones that are, like, swishing this way, not the ones that you would go up that way.
[695] You disagree, Lucy, with that?
[696] Yeah, a little, and I'm going to use Iowa as an example where every year Iowa is the most just like eight and four team out there.
[697] And they always beat some team that is infinitely better than them at home when they're playing at night.
[698] It's like a weird thing that's happened when Iowa is a terrible team and they will beat Ohio State by 30 points.
[699] Yeah, Purdue is the same way.
[700] If you're number two in the country and your night game at Purdue, you're losing.
[701] I do think there are certain venues that have like in the certain circumstances.
[702] where I'm like, I know that that team is going to win.
[703] So I do think there is something with that.
[704] Like, I would say overall, like, there are places that are tougher to play, and I think there's a lot of, like, validity to if you're a good team, you know, you're going to have a good crowd.
[705] But I really do think there's something magical about certain venues and times of day and I don't know.
[706] No, I get what you're saying, but I also think it's just.
[707] Provo on a Saturday night, Mike.
[708] But it's death value at night with a tiger going down the same.
[709] First order of business is not scheduling that for my program.
[710] I am not going to promo.
[711] I get you, but it's also like revisionist.
[712] There are times where I'm like, wow, there's no team that can come into this stadium and match this energy.
[713] We're going to freaking dominate these guys.
[714] And then I'm headed to my car because it's 453, Florida State.
[715] And that place gets evacuated.
[716] If Mario Cristobal and his coaching staff for that game were in charge of the stadium operations yesterday, day, we would have had no issue.
[717] I've never seen so people, like, on message, ready to go and file out in an organized manner than I did for that FSU game.
[718] But then there are also like crazy energies where you're nervous.
[719] No one thinks that Notre Dame, headed into the turnover chain, Notre Dame game, the one game that every...
[720] That night was electric.
[721] There's a one game that Miami Hurricanes fans have over the last decade, which is like, oh, can you imagine the electricity in that place?
[722] No one thought we were going to win that game.
[723] No one thought we were going to win that game and then afterwards you leave no one was beating us it was incredible no i think there's something to it though in like the specific like architecture of the stadium where like pin state is such a tough place to play even though it has less capacity than michigan because you're so close to the field and it's so tall and it traps the sound same thing with washington where you have the overhang and it traps the sound i genuinely think there are places that are tougher to play not only because of the crowd but legitimately because of the architecture of the stadium.
[724] Like Oklahoma State, I was shocked.
[725] It's not a very large stadium, but it's really loud because it's built with brick, and so it traps the sound really nicely.
[726] So I definitely think that there are places that are just tougher to play, even if the team may not be as great.
[727] It's why I'm hopeful that if Miami ever has a good team, it could rekindle what was happening in 2017 where people from College Game Day said that's the second loudest place I've ever been to behind Death Valley at LSU.
[728] Yeah, I mean, our stadium constantly feels like and looks like it's going to break, and that's why it's called the bounce house, because literally it is shaking as people are jumping up and down, which is why we feel like there's a big field advantage.
[729] It's legit.
[730] I went there to hand UCF its national championship trophy that we made.
[731] I was there.
[732] College Game Day was there, too.
[733] I was really impressed with that game day atmosphere.
[734] It was crazy.
[735] I was really scared because I walked through the concourse as the guys were bouncing, and that place was insane that night.
[736] When you're walking underneath and you're looking up and seeing the way that the structure is bouncing.
[737] They've told us that it's secure.
[738] They keep saying that it's fine but I'm constantly worried that one day it's just all going to fall apart.
[739] They lost to West Virginia at home by 14 last year.
[740] West Virginia's back.
[741] Didn't they?
[742] Tony, they weren't good last year?
[743] Tony, what are we thinking the Big 12th?
