Always drink your Yeagermeister ice cold. That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion. Everything else? Everything else.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Wearing clean underwear every day? Well, that's just a personal decision. Brushing your teeth? Obviously smart, but not a rule. Never pee-pee on an electric fence. Okay, maybe there are two rules. But the one that is 100% that I insist on completely, Yeagermeister must be drank ice cold.

Starting point is 00:02:37 Now we've arrived, Jeremy, at the day after Christmas. That's right. We have arrived at the day after Christmas. This is another strange episode. Basically, everything you're going to hear today is a little bit weird. Today's like Stranger episodes? Yeah, today, well, what we did transparently, after Stranger Things aired on Christmas night. We were like, how can we be stranger than stranger things? And so we put together an
Starting point is 00:03:06 episode that contains Ray Lewis delivering inspiration for the new year in 2016. Al Roker. Just an odd cat. Just Al Roker. Just Al Roker. A couple of more Roy's top tens that include his top 10 board games and baseball players, if they were rappers. Roy's as strange as we got around here. That's true. A game of a real tough guy or fake tough guy with Antonio Davis. Okay. I was about to say that's not that strange of a game. Random guest. Yep, exactly. Flo Rida, who was set to perform at a Florida Marlins game, had to cut a bit out of that interview. And Billy Mays. Ah, the guy, the flex seal guy. Yeah. I'm Billy Mays here. Another, you know.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Yeah, RIP Billy Mays, and here's a fun one. He goes after the sham wow guy for having been arrested for punching a prostitute. And that guy, fun fact, now running for Congress in Texas on an anti-woke campaign. Welcome to 2026, everyone. We're almost there. Anyway, here's a weird hour. 2016, a new year comes in. All the parties everywhere.
Starting point is 00:04:28 new year resolutions are made and then what the time is right now waste no more time in life i'm talking about if you're in the hoods you can always switch out if you're in big corporate buildings the way you treat people can always change the problem is we create new year's resolutions instead of lifestyles man it's about lifestyle it's about if you want to say you want to See things change, change it. No matter where you are in the food chain, man. Don't let people trick you. 2016 is about doing you.
Starting point is 00:05:09 You want to do something? Snap a picture yourself. And at the end of this day, ask yourself what you don't like about you before you judge anybody else. Happy 2016. Do you? Let's do it this way, Al. Give me the Mount Rushmore of Weatherman. Go ahead. You're on it.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Scott. Willard Scott, Dr. Frank Field, I would say Sonny Elliott from Detroit, Dr. George Fishbeck in Los Angeles, since retired. Dallas Raines, L.A. That's a great name for a weatherman. Brian Norcross, who is down there in Miami. Really? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Not that gas bag, Phil Farrow, though. I don't know, Phil. Good.
Starting point is 00:05:56 You wouldn't like that? I cannot speak. to his gas-baggiveness or not. Al Roker with us on 790, the ticket. Why are you America's most famous weatherman? Why? What traits do you have that make this show? I don't know that I am the most famous weather man in America. U.R. L. I doubt that.
Starting point is 00:06:14 But why? Well, it's more famous. All right, let's attack this from a different angle. How often is... Now we're attacking. All right. Yes, we are. You've looked around, I mean, honestly, given what your skill is and given your fame... Which I know, calling this a skill is a little suspect.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Well, that's where I'm going to head with this. Given what your skill is, you've found yourself in what position where you're pinching yourself and saying, I can't believe that I get this from doing this. But you've got to understand, I felt like that from the beginning. You know, I mean, this is the greatest gig going. And each time I've done, you know, I've moved up, it's still like, wow, they haven't found me out yet. This is amazing.
Starting point is 00:07:00 I love this country. But do you have one example above all others where you're sitting amongst people that you don't belong amongst? Yeah, every day, the Today Show. Right. But, you know, I mean, look, I'm a kid from Queens. You know, I don't have any discernible skill set other than being able to talk on television. But, you know, for whatever reason, it's not okay. You should be doing the weather each morning with a ski mask on, Roker.
Starting point is 00:07:28 I should be. So it would certainly be a lot easier for the children. Check him out at Al Roker. I mean, I have people come up to me every day. Every day, at least one person out of the window says, Al Roker, you look so much better in person. And I think they believe that's a compliment. What's your schedule like?
Starting point is 00:07:44 How early do you wake up every day and when do you try to get to bed? I get up at 315, and I do not go to bed until my 13-year-old daughter is in bed. and that's about 10 o'clock. 315. So your life's not, not that you're complaining, but that's not normal. Well, I mean, I don't know. You know what? Here's the deal.
Starting point is 00:08:10 A lot of people work that same shift or work those or up for those same amount of hours and get paid an awful lot less. If you've got kids, if you commute, you know, you've got as long a day, if not longer than mine, So you're not going to get me complaining. Al Roker with us on 790, the ticket. You had gastric bypass surgery several years ago. You lost over 100 pounds. Was that the most difficult experience of your life?
Starting point is 00:08:39 You know what? No. I can be honest with you, not to get too serious, losing both parents, that, you know, losing friends in 9-11. There are a lot of difficult things. this was something, you know, that I just, you know, for whatever human failing I have and being able to lose weight, I knew I needed to do something, and at the last resort, I did this, I do not recommend it to people, the dangerous operation, one and two hundred
Starting point is 00:09:10 people die from complications, but that said, it worked for me, and it's still a struggle every day. How so? You still crave foods? It's a constant battle? Well, you know, unlike, say, drug abuse or alcohol abuse, you can avoid those substances and still live. You don't need them or to survive. If food, you know, until they come up with a way to gain sustenance from water and air, you know, you have to eat. So you deal with that. And, I mean, I still don't eat anywhere near as much as I did in my heyday.
Starting point is 00:09:47 but, you know, I still have to watch. I still have to work out. I still have to exercise. I still have to watch what I eat. What's the root of it, Al? Have you ever figured out what the root of it is? I really like food. So it's not any deeper than that.
Starting point is 00:10:00 It's just you like food. It could be. But I think at the end of the day, I mean, you know, whatever issues somebody might have, well, why not drink or why not take drugs? Food, yes, easy. I like food. You know, it's good. Food tastes good.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Agreed. I like food, too, but you understand what I'm asking you. Like, I would think that if you're going into a life-threatening surgery situation, you might have been able to sort of, or you might have been interested in sort of tangling through why it is that you hadn't been able to conquer the liking of food. Well, I think it's just, you know, some people have an addictive personality. You know, and, you know, now that I've had the bypass, you know, the copious amounts of food, A, are not, you know, possible physically. but I don't have that desire for them. What food do you miss the most, Al? I can't say that I miss any food because I eat a little bit of everything. So there really isn't anything I'm missing. I just don't, like I said, I don't, I'm not as crazy as I once was about, you know, bread and butter, that sort of stuff, because it just, I don't like, you know, it just doesn't go down well.
Starting point is 00:11:11 But, you know, I mean, look, I still like a good, some good ribs, but I don't eat a rack and a half anymore. I have two or three. So what kind of damage would Big Al Roker do before gastric bypass? Like, you know, bad day, Alves decided he's going to eat a lot. What kind of damage is being done? You know, it depends on the day. It could be, you know, a stop by McDonald's, get a couple of quarter-pounders and a couple
Starting point is 00:11:37 of fries and a pick-shake or whatever, you know, sit down from the TV and, you know, just, you know, pig out. could be a pint of Agendazza once. Who knows? It depends on the day. It would be a sleeve of long-adoon cookies. Thanks for stopping by, Al. Hey, thank you guys. Dad, I couldn't give up food that way Roker did.
Starting point is 00:11:56 He didn't say he gave up food. Were you listening to anything that was said there? He didn't say he gave up food. He had a surgery, a life-threatening surgery, so that he would just need less food. His stomach wouldn't allow him to continue inhaling food at the rate that he was. I was listening, but the guy went from a rack of ribs, rack of a half of ribs to a single rib.
Starting point is 00:12:15 A lonely little rib sitting on the plate. Just one little lonely rib dangling there. That interview did nothing but make me hungry. Critics are calling Marty Supreme a full-throttle masterpiece and the best movie of the year. I couldn't be more excited to see this one.

Starting point is 00:22:43 This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats. All right, we're going to invent a new game here with Antonio Davis right now. We're going to invent it right now. In honor of Carmelo and Kevin Garnett going out of each other, we're going to play a real tough guy or fake tough guy with, yeah, Antonio David. So, and you know. don't have to give elaborations. You can if you'd like, but you don't have to. Kendrick Perkins, real tough guy or fake tough guy? I think real tough guy. I think if it comes down to it
Starting point is 00:23:20 and they have a fight, he would punch somebody for real. So I say real tough guy. Reggie Evans, real tough guy or fake tough guy? I don't like when you come across as a tough guy, but every time you look around, you're floppy. Either you're going to stand up and be a bruiser or you're You know, this is not about tricking anybody and thinking that you're tough. You either are, you aren't. Tyler Hansbrough, real tough guy or a fake tough guy? I think he has real tough guy intentions. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:57 What is Antonio? Intentonio, what the hell did you just do to our game? Antonio, which part of this game do you not understand? He's got a tough guy nickname, Antonio, Psycho. So, yes, you know, I think that it's a real tough guy intentions. I don't know what that means. I love that. No, I don't know what that is.
Starting point is 00:24:19 No, he's not a real tough guy. No, I'm going to say no. Eudanis Haslam. Real tough guy or fake tough guy? I'm going to say real tough guy. I think if it came down to it, I think that he would actually do it. I think he would. Yeah, I'm going to say real tough guy.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Zach Randolph, real tough guy or fake tough guy? Oh, tough guy. Yeah. Yeah. He's a dead. Yeah. Yeah. That's it.
Starting point is 00:24:44 We can move on. No one even thinks about it. Zbo is a quick answer. Yeah. I'm going to say, I'm going to say, and it says, though, that he's gotten much better. I think he's letting his play speak for his toughness right now. Ray John Rondo. Real tough guy or fake tough guy?
Starting point is 00:25:02 Oh, man. Fake tough guy. He just, he just has, he got some things going on. He need to work out with himself. He need to accept. his role as a leader and go about being tough mentally and showing everybody that he can lead to Boston Celtics to big playoff games. Now, Antonio Davis, if you're not familiar with his work, he was a real tough guy. Is there anybody else on your list where it sounds like, would you
Starting point is 00:25:27 be a little afraid of Charles Oakley? Is there a guy out there that you played with that you were just a little bit afraid of even though you were a real tough guy? Listen, when you are being told that you're going to play the New York Knicks and they have a guy on their team that if you show any weakness, if you back down at all, this guy is going to smash you every time he sees you. So this is your moment right here. What are you going to do? I chose at that point, I'm going to go at him first, you know, scared as I was. As soon as I had the opportunity, I was going to whack him first. Not dirty.
Starting point is 00:26:12 You know, not dirty, but just let him know, like, listen, man, they told me about you, and I ain't scared. But you just don't have to beat me up. Yes, I was scared to death. I'm not going to lie. But tough guys can't project that. You know, it's just one of those things that, you know, back when we played, you had to do it. And it wasn't about talk. If you were going to talk, that was just throwing fuel on that fire.
Starting point is 00:26:37 You eventually were going to... So you went into the fear. I mean, you were faking is what you're saying. Exactly. I was fake it till you make it. I was faking it. But let me tell you, after that, I knew what tough was. I knew what it was about.
Starting point is 00:26:51 And it was just that defining moment. Are you willing to knock the crap out of somebody and deal with the consequences later? And from that point on, I was willing to knock the crap out of somebody and deal with the consequences. excellent debut effort Antonio we really enjoyed having you on thank you for making time for us Billy Mays with us now he's TV's most recognizable infomercial pitchman the pitchman show you've been it's people trying to get you to get behind their products or inventions right that's what it works that's right in fact it's a show is called pitchman but it's about the people and the products they bring us and uh it's about the stories you know because I gotta tell you
Starting point is 00:27:33 These products that are brought to us, they have a story. Someone's putting their house up for a second mortgage. I mean, they are, you know, they're putting their kids' education on the line. I don't know how crazy that is, but I have to tell you some, the American dream is alive and well. And I've got to tell you something, go for it, because everybody has an idea. You know what? These people that put these ideas down on paper, make a prototype, and they venture out, they put their own money up, and they're going to take it to the next level.
Starting point is 00:28:03 That's when I come in. In fact, I never, I'm not an inventor. And, you know, I don't really, you know, have the ideas in my head. I'm the quarterback that takes them to the next level. When you, you just used a couple of times there, the phrase, I got to tell you something, which is a very pitch. I got to tell you. What, I got to tell you something. It's something that makes me.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Watch. Watch this. Take a look at this. I'm still not done. But wait, there's more. Because I got to tell you something. I don't trust somebody who says I got to tell you. something. Well, you could trust me because, you know what, I've been on TV for the last 11 years,
Starting point is 00:28:39 and let me tell you this, Dan, if you have a product that doesn't work on TV, you better get out because you just can't sell anything on TV. And you know what? The thing is, I'm very proud of my record, and the products that I bring to people have to go through a rigorous test. For every product you see, and you know what, there's so many products you don't see because they don't make it. They don't get to get into my repertoire, my product profile. So I really turn a lot of products down before I get to that winner. What's the worst thing you've ever been asked to pitch? The worst thing.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Geez, I'll tell you, a product that tells you, you know, whether to put your toilet seat up or down, it was actually a light that goes on the inner side of the lid. So if the, you know, the thing you sit down on is down, it would put a bull's eye into the bath into the water that would say green uh it would say where to stop and then if the seat was up uh it was green was go so it was trying to tell someone how to go to the bathroom so it was more uh more for the ladies out there so uh you know about you know keeping that toilet seat up so i thought that was kind of stupid and it really
Starting point is 00:29:51 didn't sell i passed on it it it went on to the home shopping network and it uh it bombed out there. Can you, Billy, or have you pitch something on TV that you don't really believe in? Never will. Never have. What's the most money you've ever been, you've ever made off of a product? Oh, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:11 that's a loaded question. You know, you make a lot of money. I'm not going to get into numbers, and, you know, George George will say the numbers. You can say the numbers for George, because he's made hundreds of millions of dollars. I'm mentally rich. Slightly overdrawn, but mentally rich. You know what? I've done it all.
Starting point is 00:30:27 I've made it all, you know, for what I need in my life. Now it's time to take these products to the next level, you know, help the American inventor out. Because, like I said, through every great recession and great depression comes greater innovation. And these are tough economic times. I don't want to get so clichéish on you, but these are the toughest economic times that we've been through, I guess, in the last 20 years. But, you know what, I'm here to tell you that the American dream is alive and well.
Starting point is 00:30:53 And I've got to tell you this will actually give you some more hope. When you watch Pitchman, because these products are real. We're taking them to the next level. We're making one product work each week out of the two. So, you know, last time I checked at the 500% batting average, that's not too bad. Billy May is with us on 790 to tickets. Was there a product that you've endorsed in the past that you thought would be an enormous huge hit, and it turned out to be a flop?
Starting point is 00:31:20 You know what? I keep, you know, aim small, miss small. I don't really, you know, look, I thought that OxyClean was going to be. you know, just very nominal. You know, we just sold the company to Armandhammer in the last two and a half years for $327 million. So, I mean, OxyClean is number one in his category. Kaboom is a gigantic product.
Starting point is 00:31:42 These products, I really never thought that they would make it. And, you know, the thing is Mighty Puddy, the Mighty Brands. These products here, you know, I kind of set not the highest expectations for them, but, you know, in this business, I do so many different products. I don't get emotionally attached to them. But, you know, I get personally involved with them. You know, I put everything on the line. You know, I go out there and try to hit one out of the park every time.
Starting point is 00:32:07 So, you know, I don't know if that answer your question, but, you know, the oxyclean has really been a product that I thought would not be as big as it was, and it really is. And you know what? It works, and that's the main thing. Billy, you have Pitchman Beef with Vince Offer from Shamwell? You know what? I have a beef with anybody that does what he's done.
Starting point is 00:32:27 And, you know, I try to take the high road, but if you put it to me like that, yeah, I have a beef with you. If you're going to try to call yourself a pitchman, you've got to act in accordance to it, you know. And I don't know any other pitchman that acts like he does. So, you know, he should straighten up or ship out, something like that. Well, what do you mean there? You mean because of his behavior with a prostitute here in Miami? Yeah, you know what I mean. You know exactly what I mean.
Starting point is 00:32:51 So, yeah, yeah, I mean exactly that. I don't condone anybody that's going to a prostitute, let alone somebody to beat that problem. constitute up. So if you're listening to events, get some help because you need to. You just can't go around doing that. And, you know, being in, you know, it's just like someone in the NFL doing that. And, you know, the other NFL players, you know, we take pride in what we do. I mean, there's a lot of great pitchmen out there. And, you know, we have a small band of brothers out there. If you want to be around us, he's going to act like us. So he's not following the pitchman code. Oh, come on. You know what? I mean, the last time I checked, you know what,
Starting point is 00:33:26 I'm very oxy-clean. And you know what? I don't know anybody that can act like that and get away with it. You know what? You should be suspended. You should, you know, have to do something. Suspended from a... Suspended by whom?
Starting point is 00:33:39 Like, with the pitchman... The pitchman to Pooba! The greatest infomercial pitchman of all time went after the sham wow guy. You never know what controversy is going to spring up on this show. Finally, the Florida Marlins put together a good concert. They got Flo Rida, they got
Starting point is 00:34:03 Pitbull. I don't want to start beef here, but Flo Rida's got two number one hits, and you're opening for Pitbull. He's got Grammy Awards, and you're opening for Pitbull. How does that work? I am starting beef, aren't I, Flo? Not at all, not at all. I mean, shout out to
Starting point is 00:34:19 my boy, Pitbull. We definitely was in the grand project, having a record there. You know, we grinded out, putting out mixtakes. and everything, so much love, you know? I mean, we are hometown favorite, so we're going to do it big. You're from Carroll City. What's the greatest hip-hop act to ever come out of Miami?
Starting point is 00:34:35 Definitely. We've got to give it up for the two-live crew, you know? Definitely. You know, that's like a big turn of mine, so I mean. Who'd you look at and say, I want to be them? With the two-live crew, man, because, you know, they had the nice cars, nice girls in their videos, nice jewels, and, I mean, I always looked up to that.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Flo Rida with us on 790 the ticket. I love saying that you've got the greatest name in the history of hip-hop, correct? Appreciate it all day. You know, definitely. I mean, I want to thank the fans, you know, definitely representing Florida to the fullest. Who? Your sisters, you're the only boy, right? You grew up among a bunch of sisters, no? Yeah, I got seven sisters. I have a twin sister, you know. I'm the only boy. I'm the youngest. And so what do they call you, Flo? Or does, what do they call you? They call me by my birth given name. They just be like Tramar. So when they, when they're playing around, they might say Flo Rada, you know. Your birth given name is what? Excuse me?
Starting point is 00:35:25 Marr. Okay. So you changed it. How'd you get Flo Rida? How did it become Flo Rida? I mean, just sitting in the studio, you know, with my home boy, Cisco, who actually produced some of my tracks early on, and you should look for it to have been on my new album, you know, on my third album.
Starting point is 00:35:39 But we were sitting down at his career, and, you know, being an artist, you have to come up with a name.
