You're listening to Giraffeine's Network. This is the Dunluba Tarshou with the Stugat Spatcast. This is very exciting, Stugat. I don't know how many years it has been. You don't sound excited. Well, I get Bishleeka every year. I mean, so. Okay, I've got to explain to people what it is you're talking about,

because you just sound like you came down with something. You came down with an illness. I get Bishleeka every year. It's that time of year again. You need to explain to people first. Top shelf name. That we are doing the spelling bee of NBA players right now. I get,

Bishleek every year sounds like either an STD or some sort of virus. What's the matter with you? I don't know why he gets so frustrated. I have the two of you. You're the famous writer. You're going to be better at spelling things, but he seems to think that the game has always rigged against him. He does seem to think that and I am undefeated. That's not surprising. Not because I'm a great speller because he spells very poorly. Yep.

I think there was a tie in there. There was a tie. A couple of double or nothing. He got at the death. There were ties. Well, that still makes me undefeated. Keep in mind he was an English major. You're 15-0 and 1.

Yeah, I can. Never lost. How do we start? I'm rusty. Do we start with two guys? So I flipped the coin before the show is my father the voice. It's an enemy. He's gonna be he's gonna be here shortly. My father is going to make an appearance later in the show. He's got oh my god. He's got a lot for the national media. He is pissed off on behalf of heat fans, but he's the voice of this again. So we flipped the coin to see who would go first

and Dan goes first. Remember these names are randomly drawn. You get to hear the name first. And to help you spell the name, please ask for it in a sentence. Five per person, as I recall. Well, maybe not so much. All right, keep in mind. We have two teams locally in the finals.

Yep, I would. During the Eastern Conference Finals, I wanted to put out the missing persons report for maim at the value, but I realized he would have been better off if he was actually missing instead of playing in the Eastern Conference Finals. Jeez. Aggressive. Yeah, good games. He did have a good game. Did he? Well, he mentioned these are comments finals. Yeah. That's not a good game. I'm just saying 25 points on 26 shots or whatever it was. He was one for nine in games. No, no, no, we throw. We can't write anything down. Correct. Game plan was just making sure you get it with your finger.

Should ask Adam. You can get one of the insiders on that. You can see Dan still gurgling with rage that Adam Silver did to make the video's job easy. Do your job inside her. Bamschita told us in the post game. Alright, so right now presently, Sue Gotts is writing it down because he thinks this will help us. How do you not get this is?

This is a really, I'd say that's a pretty even draw. Cody Seller versus Bam on a bio. for all your complaints B.A.M Ay I lost already man I the value Jesus AM a D.E. I met that oh man at the value I met that. I met that.

Man, at the value. Okay, so it's one zero. One each time for you to get back in this one. Yeah, I know. Give me another one, please. All randomly selected. And I feel like, I really do feel like when he said we got two teams in this,

there's an NHL player's gonna make an appearance here and it's gonna be an affair. I highly doubt it. There were 40 names put into the random name generator and there were only three hockey teams. Give me mine, please. Here. Bruce Brown. Oh, God. Let me hockey. Give me mine, please. Here. Bruce Brown.

God. Let me hear it in a sentence, please. Why? I'm pretty sure Bruce Brown regrets coming on the show last week. Yeah. Yeah, I don't need a nice. Yeah, nice. You yes, you really does have.

He was hitting on him. Also, I team investigation, we assumed it was Kyrie just because of Kyrie's history because Bruce Brown told us that the front-off It's wanted them back in Brooklyn and that it was a player eluded to a player wanting them out But there's like a weird love triangle if you follow internet rumors with Lana Rhodes Yes, Blake Griffin Kevin Durant and Bruce Brown and all of them have Brooklyn Netstice. I'm just saying it might not have been Kyrie. There was a lot of internet buzz.

Bruce and Elissa, good names there. BRU, CE. It's my turn. I'll take all his and then BRO. I got tips on this one. WN. Bruce Brown. BRU, CE.

It doesn't have a mall I'm having. It doesn't try to be indecent to him. I was asking him about what, the question I asked him in Butler, because this is a fairly amazing story. 13 years old. let's not do this try to spell it i was driving a college listening to that exact time i was like why is that not asking about cereal i don't get it

Jonathan Marchesaw, you gave it a run, no! You gave it a run! Oh, my God! It's another loss! The semi-annual spelling bee! ¡Oh, Dios! ¡Es otro de los pasos! ¡El semíñol, espeligme! The alley has a bad reputation in general, right? It does.

Brought American history. Yeah. But on South Beach, someone's always just sitting somewhere, smoking a cigarette. You can't go down an alley around here and not see someone sitting there smoking a cigarette. It still... It retains a pulsating heat from the night before. You walk by some liquid that your like is that water. Yeah.

The rain last night, that's definitely not water. Avoid the liquid. Always avoid the liquids in an alley. STUGATS! I venture to, that if you were to rake your tongue on the asphalt of an alley, you would die immediately. I don't think it would be immediately, though. First, you'd contract very quickly right before death, several sexual diseases,

and then you would die. This is the Don Lebatar Show, with this Stugats! show with this to got. I strongly urge you if you care about all of this stupidity that we're doing around here way too much about basketball that you should find on the Levitade and Friends Network wherever it is the Tom Habershow and Amino Hassan are making content for us because basketball Illuminati is something that is informative and their basketball Analysis is smarter than most I see anywhere and it's also on top of that entertaining and you see a whole lot of people everywhere Breaking out Stephen A Smith is now doing a simulcast with the game

Amin and Haberstrow and Renee and Kate there are basketball knowledge stars We are very strong with some expertise around here. And their post game show is out today. You should listen if you want to get smarter about basketball. They do it. Was that carper as well? Couple of others, right? Because Charlotte Wilder was on today and she was helping out too. And her analysis was better than anyone when she just said Denver has the bigger boys And that was kind of my main takeaway watching too. Yeah, make sure to check out our YouTube page and subscribe YouTube.com slash love it tarred show. They're easy to fun Just like all or social handles if that's who confusing for you. Just simply Google YouTube

Love it tarred. It'll take you right there subscribe to it Click the live tab by the way if you want to watch the post game from last night, because as you mentioned, a mean was running stairs and it was live and all that entails when it comes to a mean, you could never know what the mean. There could be open tabs of pornography with a mean I'll have some when there's a live post. A mean's body is also falling apart though, right? He's actually getting in much better shape because he's visiting the Iron Temple over here. He's on that liquid collagen, like, it means looking good. The hairline's coming back a little bit too far, guys.

I was just told that he's struggling with some of the running, that running exercises. He looks a little awkward that is back. I know he had to stand up for half the show last time he was here because he's too old to be flying across country every week. That's the thing, man. You fly five hours from Phoenix to Miami twice a week. Yeah.

He's sore because he's hidden the iron temple, guys. You've never lifted before, but he's been blessed by the IT. You keep telling me not to fly, that it's killing me, like it's bad on my body. Is there something factual behind that? Like flying as bad as you get older? No, it's just that your body is deteriorating. We've been concerned about you and getting into places. Look, I mean, it's just that your body is deteriorating. We've been concerned about you in general.

I didn't get the places. Look, I mean, it's a lot of sleepless nights and less rest for your body as you're trying to wake up early to make the show and make certain flights and it's beating you up and you're not. So in that vein though, in that vein though, because we make a lot of fun of Stu God's.

So it is. But he is flying all over the place. God knows what you do at the dead concerts. Like it can't just be that. Let's just keep it between me and God. All right. You have been flying a lot and in the middle of that, something that we did not celebrate enough. And I urge you again, uh, stupodity, uh, Stugots gets to rejoice with the champion coach, who has coached his daughter during a very special emotional year that Stugots gets to rejoice with the champion coach who is coached his daughter during a very special emotional year That Stugots has done some cool things in support of Rachel flying all over the place to support Northwestern LaCrosse And this last weekend was a champion weekend for you and it was emotional for you

And I saw a picture that was moving. It was genuinely moving of you hugging Rachel because she won a championship because you've invested so much in her and LaCrosse as a teaching tool for helping a high school girl get stronger and have more confidence because sports can do that for people. Yeah, it was what made that moment really great was for the first time. It was just me being natural. Like, I didn't realize people were taking pictures. I had no

idea. For the first time. I've been always playing to the camera. I was playing for the video, you know, but this was just a raw moment between me and my daughter. It was, it was a special weekend. It was amazing to be able to witness that with my other daughter with Abby with, with my dad. How will you call her other daughter? With Emma. Yeah. On champion. This has to be the summer of Emma, Mr. God. It is the summer of Emma. You got to get a couple of bars or something. Emma's got a, I'm working on it. Yeah.

No, I mean, we owe her a big time. We really do. Every week, but it's just... Just some time. Yeah. Sometimes, she's like that, just some time. But you're, I mean, you're chasing the trophies though. You love that.

Well, we got a trophy. So, she's a national champion. And I can't believe he said other dogs. And it's a bad start to the summer of Emma. Emma's good. No one has handled this better than Emma. You guys start showing up at her college. You just like watching her do whatever you guys.

No, but it's upstate New York. It's June 2nd. Summer of Emma is off to a terrible start. Also, Summer of Emma is filled with dead shows. Summer of Emma, I just sent it to Chicago with like four of her friends. I mean, I paid for everything. What do you want me to do? It's her summer. Maybe pay for yourself to go in there. No, I need to stop flying. Yeah, you do. Yeah, because it's

killing you. Well, it's the summer of John Mayer. But, Dan, I wanted to go to all the games. Even though Rachel didn't play that much as a freshman, I wanted her to know that she was not alone. I wanted to stand there. I wanted to support her. I don't want to just go to the games when she starts playing, which hopefully will be next year. I wanted her to know that dad is with her through the good times, through the bad times,

and also angling for a spot on the staff. I mean, that's what I really wanted. Well, on Steponady, you asked the coach to send you a ring well i deserve one of every game including that dreaded mark that game i mean i spent time in kinocia yeah the kinocia kickers should we interview the coach to celebrate the lacrosse championship and just ask her how many things to got says actually asked for from her oh billy mean, I was asked her how many things he has been trying to push and ask.

And she had a great answer, which was, I just haven't talked to my husband. Right, or I go through her husband who's a good friend, but Billy is the star of that interview. He is. He became a good friend the long the way, you know, I mean, hang with me for a spot in the stand. I'm only like 60% sure you know his name.

Stupidity is where? Jason's a great guy. I mean, stupidity is where you can find the podcast. Learning it's not Jason. Coach. Yeah, coach, coach works. He's not a coach. They're both coaches.

He's a coach. He's a coach. He's the associate at coach. I'm an obligated dynamic. Nothing wrong with that. Well, we talk about it on the podcast. I ask you about that too. Yeah.

Billi has to be the most ever on the hot day. Billi seriously, though, you love Stugotts and Stugotts. I love you too. And Stugotts, Stugotts lacrosse, God, we've heard so much about how he dominated Clark. He's got all the records. His name's Scott. That's unfortunate.

It's not a boy. Middle name is Jason. Scottie Jason Hiller, that's right. I forgot. I always got those tickets. Billy, he loves lacrosse and his daughter is a champion at lacrosse and he gave you an authentic moment of photograph hugging his daughter. Weren't you guys so many daughters in that other room?

Weren't any of you moved by an authentic sausage fingers moment of stugots being a champion grifting his way to the top of sports because his daughter's amazing. I was invested. I watched it. Is he? Is he? Is he was daughter's amazing. I was invested. I watched it. Is he? Is he was great that game? Maddie Taylor? Yeah.

I watched the entire game on mute, but I watched the entire game. I was looking for number one on the sidelines, and I was super happy for Rachel. Tears did swell to my eyes once that final whistle blew just because I knew, oh, thank God lacrosse and is over. Same here. I saw that picture and yeah, I mean we all have girls here where room full of producers no one can produce a boy, but we all have daughters and I saw kind of my future and they're hopefully not too much like what

two gods look like, but it was yeah, it's moving. I felt your love, I felt your support, I felt it from Billy, I felt it from Chris, Mike, Dan, Tony, everyone on the show, Jess, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was fantastic and we appreciate it. It was, I hope everyone, I hope all of you have an opportunity to see your daughter that happy at some point. Like just true bliss, it was amazing to witness and so

It's been a fun year. I'm glad it's over. I don't have to travel anymore, but the dad is coming out soon How will the tone change if she doesn't start playing though next year? I'm gonna coach on the hot I texted him I go it's coach would be fired like why is your coach not playing your daughter? You're like 12 right there's a summer season isn't there? I know, but Billy assured her that he has his eye on the situation. Okay, and I appreciate that, Billy. Thank you. It's what friends do. What does that mean?

Bill's keeping an eye on it. That's all I mean. He's Billy wanted her in the championship game. And I told her she played the national semi-final game. That was enough for me. I was good with that. I'm like, mass and tailor getting all these minutes.

Jesus. It was a blowout though. Yeah. It was a with that. I'm like mass and Taylor getting all these minutes. Jesus. Jesus. It was a blow out though. Yeah. It was a blow out. She's been consistent all season with that. I mean, well, it turns out that last year the coach blew a nine point Yeah.

In the four North Carolina. They didn't want to repeat that again. Yeah. Yeah. Carolina. Stupidity. Don't let a part again started on the breakfast line. Oh man, I've been singing a song to myself one morning while breakfast.

This is the Dan Lebertar show with the Stugats.

Stugats, I got caught last night by the internet in a real compromising position. This, I mean, that's a terrible way to start a thought. Like none of us, right? If you're in your social media a lot, or if you're addicted to it, none of us want to be in the portal of shame where the internet catches you, gotcha on something. Mm-hmm. But it happened last night at the Nuggets game.

It's the game one of the finals and a lot of people saw it and it's just because the camera's flashed through and you could see here that I was at the Nuggets game clearly in disguise trying to camouflage myself, trying to camouflage a secret allegiance that I have. I was there. Oh, that's him, barely. It's a Joker bit dead.

Joker thing, come on. I'll just... I'll just... I'll just take him, ankle spray, that's him. There you go. The Joker bit dead. The Joker thing. Come on. You took this. Tatum, ankle spray. No way too far. Now, I'll tell you where I am with this though. I was rooting for, and they caught me. I was rooting for the nuggets because, and you guys get mad at me every time I say this,

I want maximum fear around here. I don't want them to just have it be easy. It's more special if you're afraid, and there's losing involved. I want the story. I don't want them to just have it be easy. It's more special if you're afraid and there's losing involved. I want the story. I want the content. I don't think I'll ever arrive at fear with the nuggets. I don't know why. I mean, they seem like such a nice team, I mean. Did the announcer say who wants empanadas? Because you're like raising your hand inexplicably in this photo. What do you mean inexplicably? I was happy. I was joyous. Because I had to want some bananas. Was it like a done-

It's like a bling. That's a bling of a gun. It's inexplicably. Valerie does like doing costumes and makeup. I can now come clean. I am indeed a firt. That line was in your headsets to God's. I heard it from Billy, your headsets are that loud.

I know, but you said it first. I mean, I slowed up. Am here for what I'm about to read to you this set. Please tell me it's the starting line for the Florida Panthers. Let's go and see one. It'd be weird if you weren't here to read it. Yeah. Shannon Sharp liked a tweet that called skip bailess, a piece of shit.

POS. This would be the most honest argument stuff that they've done. Instead of the wrestling characters that they are on television for entertainment, and it pays, there are ratings in just arguing two guys about sports and that's what they did and they did it well. It was not unlike what Skip Bayless and Steven A Smith did and now they've broken up to gods because these pairings are hard to keep right and there are some places where Shannon Sharp felt like his dignity was trampled and what it is he had to do to go opposite that guy and pedal some of

the shit that they were peddling and and you know people wondered and I don't know what the backstory is here because it seems like one of the bad moments really bad publicly and privately I would imagine if what you've done here is made Shannon Sharp feel like you've disrespected his humanity. When Shannon Sharp's been really good at a lot of things for a long time, excellent. And getting to where he's gotten,

from where he's gotten has been hard. Like super hard, not just because of the industry, because like read about his, read about what he and his brother talk about where they came from. Right. And how impossible it is that he's climbed to the top of this and his 50s looks like a beast wants to fight the Grizzlies.

What is bulging out of his suit? I mean, he's just a beast. But I also think there's probably a part of Shen in like, hey, I did this thing. I helped build my media career. I could survive without skip anymore. It's not worth the headache I'm gonna move on and do this thing on my own because you probably can right? Yes, but he can do that without liking tweets that call skip bail is a piece of shit unless there's some stuff there that isn't gratitude

I mean, I don't have the sound on but Shannon's gonna be there throughout the finals. They look like they're they're fine and have They're a really bad fist bump yesterday. Really? It didn't even touch. They both reached in and just never touched and then just kept it going. It is a long table.

It is a long table. It is a long table. But they pretended that they did. Like did they try harder after the original not touching? Did they come back, try it again? Nothing. They just kept moving? They just kept it going.

They kept moving. They don't like each other. I'm looking at it right here, there's no contact. I'm not. It's over. Well, no, it is. We know that. Yeah, but it's just everything's over.

Still got just, what's the immediate over? It's over. It's over. It's over. When the reported a day ago, the buyout said, yeah, it's over there. It went to the air and I think the knowledge of it's over. Yeah. Yeah. And it was a hell of a run.

It was it was and skip did elevate Shannon Shannon became more of a media star. Now media mogul and I think it is probably the right move for his career. I actually think Shannon gave Skip some social media currency that maybe Wynnard have had, because when you think about what's gone viral from that show, it's more, it's more Shannon. Oh Mike, but I do think that one of the fascinating things about these guys are symbols, okay?

So God, Stephen A and Skip Bayless are at the top of the mountain is whatever's happened to sports coverage. Debate, debate, debate, argue, argue, yell, yell. Skip Bayless has had two monster runs, hard to recreate what he recreated. He's a beast. He's an argument and a take beast. Like, he eats three meals a day. They're always the same.

And exercise is three hours a day, crazy, and does take the rest of the time and devotes himself to nothing else because it's hard to stay relevant in that game and he's 70. But now I could make the argument and would make the argument skip needs Shannon right now more than Shannon needs skip because it's going to be hard to replace Shannon Sharp on that show he's go ahead good luck finding whoever it is that you're gonna put opposite all of what that represents. Speaking of that, who is going to replace him? I mean, just out of curiosity.

Any ideas? Should Stugat, should- I'll get yelled at by Skip, I mean, I have no problem. Should we figure out a way to make a public plea to get Stugat to his next great-griftstugots is always had wandering eyes stugots has been wanting yet i stay right here i know i know but you've always had wandering eyes you brought some other people in the road bedroom like the goal it haha but you've had wandering eyes i mean you've brought several it as well

i mean that's true but money that's. That's true. Yes. Fair enough. How would that go? Bommani against Skip Bayless? That'd be good. I mean, Skip wouldn't stand the chance, but it'd be good. It'd be fun to say people would like that because Bommani won't back down. A Bommani will like absolutely shred it. But you have to, but you have to get along. Do you? I don you think you do? It's pretty clear that they haven't gotten along for a little bit. And you mentioned some of the moments where maybe the relationship went sideways.

Publicly, we know that they had the DeMar Hamlin thing. That really fired Shannon up. I saw this clip of a skip diminishing Shannon Sharpe's achievements. And I'm trying to embarrass him by saying he's not as great as Tom Brady, the greatest court. Shannon Sharpe's arguably, I mean, prior to this generation was the greatest high end of all time, and he skipped bailess.

Like, what exactly are you doing? And he's just insulting and living the bit, living the gimmick. So I imagine it gets tiring, especially when you're becoming the bigger star. Shannon's star has eclipsed skip in just the media realm. It's long been bigger. He's not as great as Tom Brady though.

Yeah, that's not a shlob. He's a top five at the position of all time. If there's a gathering of greatest to ever do it at their specific positions, Shannon Sharp gets an invite to the gala. If there's a gathering of greatest to ever do it at their specific positions, Shannon Sharp gets an invite to the gala. But that's not an insult saying you're not as good as Tom Brady. Oh, the way that he was doing it. Not Dalton Shultz.

No, no. Skip Bayless found a way to make it insulting. Dalton Shultz. The cabboy's done. No, he's a Texan. He's a good titan. Get out of here. He's a Texan.

I know he's a good titan. He's not shitting. Shultz. But I know that would be insulting him. That's a Texan. I know he's a good tight end. He's not shenanigans. But I know that would be insulting him. That's one of your weapon for Dak Prescott. In your thoughts on that country. Right.

Insulting would be to say, and you'd be accurate in saying the insult that all of today's tight ends are bigger, physically, and stronger than shenanigans. Yeah, but shenanigans sharp. Even though shenanigans sharp revolutionized the position was the first. He was the first to play today. He was the first The play today he was and be like right there with Kelsey. He was the first of those Oh a tight end can be a wide receiver and totally unstoppable news great and was dream on green like was clear that he was gonna have a broadcasting career Because he was a trash talker. It's been amazing to watch his rise. I believe also

He had to overcome like stuttering problems. I believe I have this, right? And like just talking in front of people, like confidently. And look at what has become. And I wonder if I asked the audience now. If you liked that show in whatever incarnations that Bayless did it in, who do you put opposite him right now that you'd wanna watch it the same way? Because you are hanging on to a 70 year old star.

A 70, like Skip Bayus is 70, dude. Like, it's cornizer and mobile are still doing it. But the game is here. Shannon Sharp is here to play a different game. Pat McAfee is here to play a different game. There's a different game being played right now. ESPN is slashing costs. There are going to be fewer and fewer of these

jobs. Yeah, but the same game is also still being played. There, I imagine Skip will make it work for the remaining term of his contract. I understand that there are people doing different things. You highlighted a few of them, but if you look at Dave Time Sports Television, it's that. It's debate television. Like, that's what works. That's what appeals to the audience in that day part.

I wish you mean we're here to do his Emmanuel Acho. That might be the guy. That might be the guy. Really? Yeah, it might be Fox In House Options. It's going to be Emmanuel Acho, Chris Brusard, usual cast of characters. You guys, you guys, it feels like you guys underestimate to me. I, you know, what would I know? But I really do feel you're underestimating who wants to work

someone every day next to someone every day that they don't like so much that they would on their way out the door say, Shen and Sharp, they would like it sweet. I've done it. Yeah, your laugh kind of get out on a wide. Oh, I've done it. Yeah, your left kind of gave that one away. I love you. It'll elevate whoever goes next to him because it elevated Shannon. And I understand like Shannon was this huge star, but Shannon and flamed out

at a couple places. His media career got off to a slow start in this format, this debate format, allowed Shannon to show off that personality that he had when he was a player. Like, for better or worse, for however annoyed he may personally be at Skip Bayless, his S.R. did allow for a format that allowed Shannon Sharp to shine and finally fulfill his promise. Me and Billy were talking about this once it gonna be enough for skip When is this gonna be like you know what never I'm good never When did we have that conversation? Yeah two days ago when you said oh they're they're breaking up

And I was like when's it gonna be enough and you're like ah yeah? No skip bail is put it on the pole. Please judge your at Levitard show will skip bail is to be doing the stairmaster in hell skip Bayless would be doing the stairmaster in hell Patron are proud of her petrally doing the stairwell We were no point. Oh now he remembers Dan He could help me 30 seconds ago, but now he remembers One necessary correction from Billy I want to go home This is where you exist when you are in the hellscape that is Billy Gill among demons in our trials

This is what it is That's a both thing You play defense against everyone and everything. Defense wins championship. Go to hell! Ha ha ha ha ha. Defense wins championships.
