Starting point is 00:00:00 This is the Dan Levatore show with the Stucats podcast. People are frantically behind the glass. Lewis is here, by the way. And he is frantically, he's like running around like he's overseeing a slowly burning space shuttle. You remember that scene in 24 where they locked down the glass and there was like gas coming in and like the chubby dude that was like the tech guy was behind the glass he's just like, that's what Luis is doing right now. Yeah, he's a little scared because I'm not hitting the right buttons and we're trying to merge. We haven't done this before where we merge
Starting point is 00:00:47 live New York and Miami Studios and now we've got Mero comes in and he won't shut up, right? Dan explicitly was like, can you please stop talking? Everyone was trying to give me instruction so that I wouldn't do what I just did, but you're coming in here talking about... Cigarettes. Where it is that I should have watched the World Cup draw if I wanted to know what was going on with Haiti? And it's like I couldn't get Mero to shut up, but I'm excited to have him here, and I'm excited about what it is that we're doing this week in combining really the dream projects
Starting point is 00:01:20 that Metal Arc has birthed here between what Pablo does and what we do in Miami. me. I wanted to bring in Amin here to ask you about whether or not Janus is coming to the Nix. No. Or you don't want? No. You don't want. No. You don't want Janus. All right. Amin, tell me what's going on with Janus. What do you expect to happen here over the last, what you've seen happen over the last week? Well, Mark Stein's been reporting that the Bucks are telling everybody they're not listening. They're not listening. They don't want to trade Janus. I don't know where this is coming from. And pretty much 29 teams are like, yeah, right. So they just. keep calling them and say, hey, what about this? What about that? But I'm more interested to hear from Mero, you're saying no to Yannis?
Starting point is 00:02:02 No, hell no. Why hell no? Nah. Listen, okay, this is, y'all, listen, yeah, y'all know ball more than I do. I will say that, you know, Clary Pelow, you know what I'm saying? Like, y'all are more avid ball knowers than me. I watch, you know, and I, and I, what's the correct term? Vaguely conscious.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Vaguely conscious. I was trying to think of wagering. I will wager on occasion. Okay, so in order to wager with a, you know what I'm saying? Intelligently, you got to watch the shit. The Knicks have not been, the Knicks have started to gel. They look good.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Even though Desmond Bayne was playing dodge ball yesterday, you know what I mean? That was great. That was phenomenal. I loved it. But they're, they don't look back. They looked in disarray in the beginning. And now they don't look like they're in disarray. They're winning games.
Starting point is 00:02:52 They're covering. which is the most important part and I'm not mad don't disrupt this shit I mean this is always interesting to me when a fan base falls in love with their heartensteins they did this a couple of years ago they didn't want him traded and now they've got Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns and they don't want to screw with that even though we've seen what the ceiling of that is okay so balnoers please break this down to me how do you make Mitchell Robinson and Janice A Tinacompo okay work on a team together you need shooters and
Starting point is 00:03:22 And if you are going to get worse... Wait, you're worried about how Mitchell Robinson is going to fit around Yannis. Because you've got to get... Cat is out of it. If you're going to get Yonis, listen, the Bucks are not going to trade Yonis for Deuce McBride and a couple second rounders. That's not happening. So you're going to have to do the Mellow thing all over again and be like, yo, here's everybody, except with the Mellow thing, I was okay with it because I... Because you have co-hosted a podcast with Carmelo Anthony.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Also, that part, but like previously predating that, also, I knew. Timothy Moscoff was a bum. So I was like, is this guy? This big, goofy Russian is holding up this trade? Get him out of here. Shout out to Wilson Chandler and everybody else. This is a different situation. Carly Anthony Townes is the best shooting big man in all of the NBA, period.
Starting point is 00:04:08 I don't want to hear any arguments of the contrary. And I'm not saying that because he's Dominican. I'm saying that because it's a true. I feel like there's a small percentage at the very least that is saying it explicitly because he's a different. Eight and a half percent. You know what I'm saying? Conservatively.
Starting point is 00:04:21 the team looks good we got there's a chemistry there's a flow 16 and 7 yeah i'm not even second in the east yeah not mad at the second i mean i mean i think that he speaks for a lot of new york and a lot of fan bases when they fall in love with the thing that's 16 and 7 that's scrappy and you bring yonis in and it becomes a different thing but it's not going to be worse than 16 and 7 do y'all not think that yonis is right on the precipice of being a bum not a bum Jesus. Not a bum. He had his best season last year, I think, statistically.
Starting point is 00:04:53 He learned how to shoot a jumper last season. So it's like now, okay, now he knows how to shoot an elbow jumper. You're going to trade every shooter you have on the team to get him in there? We don't got picks. What are we going to do? Call San Presti, bro. Make something happen over there. Cut it out.
Starting point is 00:05:07 I mean, what are your thoughts here? Like, because I do, I remember. I remember the 42 and 40 Miami Heat of Lamar Odom and Karan Butler and Brian Grant. What a team. trade for shack not wanting to trade for shack they fall in love with the scrappy team that's crazy this is not a scrappy team all these motherfuckers are making 40 million dollars what's scrappy about that I'm scrappy
Starting point is 00:05:31 I don't got 40 mil every year can it clock it stop Carl Anthony tells all these guys are all stars McHale bridges bro you traded all those picks for that guy to space the floor I'm using all these like cliche basketball cliches space the floor we need spacing You know what I'm saying? Yonis kid, shoot no threes. That motherfucker shot 20% from three. I want Merrow to moderate a panel at the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Come on. Get me on basketball reference. You know what I mean? Just hip-firing. I don't want Janus. I mean, I'm just saying, like, he's a generational guy. I agree with that. He's phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:06:10 I don't think he fits in what's going on. Also, he's mad buns, guys. Are we forgetting about this? This is New York City. The first bad game he has, the Milwaukee report is a man nice to him. They asked the questions, oh, Janice, do you consider this season of failure? And then the whole, the memory, Eric, Eric. Eric, you ask me this.
Starting point is 00:06:35 You ask me this before again. Then I tell you, it's not failure, it's not failure. Tell that shit to the New York Post. That's not failure. Come on. They're going to be like Greek yogurt. They're going to have his head popping out of an oikos model looking crazy. They're going to put his head on a gino meat thing, and he's going to be getting sliced by every New York Post beat reporter in the world.
Starting point is 00:06:59 This is New York City. If you suck, they're going to be like, yo, you suck. Even if you suck for 30 seconds of an otherwise tremendous game, they're going to allow Amin to say anything? No, let him. He's cooking. Let him cook, man. He's like to slather Amin in white sauce and red sauce. Satsiki.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Come on. Come on, man. They'll have a parade. from an Astoria. What are you talking about? This is like a dream come true. I cannot think of another player going to a city simply for like the demographics between the Nigerians and the Greeks in New York. They would have a parade that would never end. And to me it's like when you say you don't want to mess this up, this is what I ask you realistically. How good is this team? Is this a championship team? You think the team can win a championship with no additions, just this team?
Starting point is 00:07:46 I think this team with some bench additions, that's the problem. It's the bench. It's depth. You know what I'm saying? I think with some bench additions that are not absolute bums, this team is a championship team. You know what I mean? It's just really about depth. You see what happened?
Starting point is 00:08:01 They took out the starters. Bench came in, flea, shrunk, got to put the starters back in. If we get into a situation where we don't have to do that, I say we, like I'm on the team, then we're good. but Janice, man, I don't know, dog. It just feels very, as a lifelong Knicks fan, I mean, it just feels very Nicky. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:08:23 Like, yo, let's go get the motherfuck of selling mad jerseys and everything will be fine. I just don't think there's anyone outside of New York who believes the Knicks are championship team with a couple of bench pieces. And I'm fine with that. You know what I'm saying? Because nobody thought the Miami Heat was a championship team
Starting point is 00:08:38 to go to the finals. You know what I mean? When they had that little run, what Jimmy was doing this day. Because they weren't a championship team. But they weren't. You know what I'm saying? But they got there.
Starting point is 00:08:45 They got there. Every year is a team that's not supposed to get there that gets there. Everybody's saying it's the Knicks. Listen, until Jason Tateu comes back, the east belongs to the Knicks. I don't care what y'all say. I don't know how Mero feels about football. Are we still in the place, Pablo? I've been saying this here for a few months now that the biggest story in football
Starting point is 00:09:04 whenever the Chiefs lose, doesn't matter what else happened that weekend. It's the Chiefs losing. It's not the Chiefs winning. And it looks like it's... What does Mero do? What is that? That's the Shador. Oh, you're showing your watch.
Starting point is 00:09:16 You know what I'm saying? You know what time it is? Losing to Tennessee at home time. Losing, losing in Tennessee. But he's on the Browns. This is what everybody keeps saying. Like, yo, he lost. He lost.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Bro, he plays for the motherfucker pounds. That's what they do. They lose. You know what I'm saying? Like, who? Like, he did his thing. I just tried to talk about the Chiefs and Mahomes and you took me to Shador off of that football someday.

Starting point is 00:12:26 I'm just here to say one thing. The Knicks are back. Stugats. Tavis Hallibarne, six points. Fraud. Everybody was like, yo, he's better to jail in prison. He's better. The Knicks should have drafted him. Fraud. This is the Dan Lebatar show. with the Stugats. Jamel told us last week, Jamel told us that she will not, well, she will not criticize Shador Sanders because he represents something to black culture that is not going to be criticized.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Shadur Sander. Jamel, Jamel, who can criticize? Jamel's like, nope, not going to say anything bad about what he represents as an avatar. If he plays like, like ass, I'd be like he plays like ass, but I like that he's confident. If you can play like ass and be still maintaining your confidence and bounce back and not be ass, that's
Starting point is 00:13:20 the best thing you could be as an athlete, right? But that's what you're, when you're watching football on Sunday, that's Shador's the one who's got your attention. There was a lot of bad football played yesterday. There are a lot of games I was not interested. Yeah, I'm a Giants fame. Washington, Minnesota, no thank you. I don't understand how the Saints did what they did yesterday other than football happens to ruin Tampa season. But are we still in a place, Bob? I don't know how you watch football on Sundays when you're not doing daily shows anymore. Is it Chiefs losing is still the biggest story on Sundays?
Starting point is 00:13:50 Yes, because the season has been like generally speaking, like mediocre. And the question is always like, if you're to ask me to wager on who's going to win the Super Bowl, I think until last night I would have said, give me the Chiefs. And now I'm watching Travis Kelsey drop passes. I'm watching where she Rice Jaw passes and watching the team around him as well as Mahomes himself just not feel like and I I've held out so much hope that like he's Mahomes is this magician that by the end is going to like make the woman not be two severed pieces but like one human that's alive and I'm like I think I think I think your assistant's dead like that's my concern and so the chiefs by the way it's funny just like the spectacle of this too for the NFL in that box right in the in the in the in the Kelsey box box there's Leonardo DiCaprio watching the Texans just like curb stop the Chiefs. It's like, I don't like this, dude. I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:14:46 I don't like Trave, man. What's going on? Come on, dude. You got to fix this, man. Dude, Tatea, you're fumbling in the ball, bro. It is the story, man, because it's like, he's been, Kermen has been the story, man, for like the less, how was the worst game he's ever played was last time, Mahomes, to be clear.
Starting point is 00:15:03 So, like, you know, for real ball numbers, it's like, all right, bro, you have, you, you have never been this ass. This is shocking. You know what I mean? And to Pablo's point, it's like, wow, you have the, do you have the capacity to be this ass? And if you are this ass regularly, we're not going anywhere. Well, but I think the Texans, like the Texans are the best defense in the sport,
Starting point is 00:15:22 and they did that to him. He has not been ass all season. They've been fine statistically. They just haven't been winning their one-scored games. But what he was yesterday, that's not. Last time we saw that is when he was running around loop-de-loops because he had all his offensive linemen gone in a Super Bowl and Tom Brady beat him. him. That's like, what you saw last night, three interceptions, that's not something that he does at all.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Hasn't happened since 2022, I believe. Yeah. Three picks for Mahomes. But my dad says all the time, he said, Papa, let me tell you something. Every empire must fall. You know, you think a gang is gone where he's now. That's right. That's a good point. Muerto. D'Onda. Julius Caesar, don't it time. Muerto. Everybody, everybody that you think is going to rule the world forever. Eventually, they, shmorto. I like Marrow's dad as, like, Dominican Henry Kissinger. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:16:13 You know what I mean? He's very, you know what I mean? I was going to say McAvelian. He's a very good guy. Shout to my pop, d'Ivo. Roy, can you get the sound please of Wayne Gretzky mispronouncing an assortment of names because we decided to bring.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Speaking of geopolitical strides. We decided to bring Wayne Gretzky out as part of the World Cup stuff on on Friday. Let's hear from Wayne Gretzky as he tries to make his way through a map. Yeah. What's a Canadian? whiskey. Caraco.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Caraco. You don't think that, you don't think that Wayne does a lot in the way of speaking a great deal of Spanish. You don't think that Wayne does some Spanish flair accents on his countries. I've been in Canada. You know what I'm saying? Shout to them. Not a lot of Latinos up there. I would speak to people that I like, look, identified as like, yo, you are a Caribbean.
Starting point is 00:17:07 being you are Afro-Latino. I can see it in your features. And you're saying, they'll be like, what I'm my youth? No, I'm Jamaican. I'm just very fair-skinned. I make the mistake so often in Miami. Anybody who's brown, I just start speaking Spanish.
Starting point is 00:17:23 I make that mistake all the time, all the time. And then they look at me and like just, I don't speak Spanish in an accent that's clearly not his family. Like, no, my friend. No. Can I just point out that like Wayne Gretzky, just in case you're not watching that clip, his job was to read the names of countries. Like in the realm of like you had one job, his one job was to know what Kurosau is. To his, in his defense, shot at the Wondell Robinson because I announced his pick at the NFL drive.
Starting point is 00:18:00 I forgot what year is. But he's doing his thing, stud, wide receiver. Love them. They give you the card and it has like the name, the university, the position, and then under it in like 16 different parentheses and alternating caps, it tells you how to say these shit phonetically. So whoever was doing the cards should have gave Wayne an old Canadian man a card that had the phonetic. You think they didn't though? I don't think they did. Oh, maybe he's just like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:18:32 I'm so good. Caracco. Caracco. You know what I'm saying? Like, yo, he's talking about like North Macedonia and us. I was going to say, it would be one thing if that was the only thing, but there were other names he had to pronounce that went roughly as well. Hey, man.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Y'all ain't going to do this to the great one. He's not here to read. What y'all are you nerds were studying and learning how to pronounce things. He was nice with that stick. Now you guys want to. Hey, yo, that's crazy. Hey, yo. That was insane.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Caracos. He said North Macadamia nuts, man. He said, Mexico. He said a bunch of shit wrong. Wendale Robinson, you introduced him at the draft? I did. Yeah. How fast can y'all look that up?
Starting point is 00:19:18 I think it was 2023. God damn it. We are. 22. 22? Oh, shit. Yeah, yeah. Where does that rank in terms of strange sports moments that you found yourself in?
Starting point is 00:19:28 Because I've got to imagine you've got some pinch me and you just sitting next to Carmelo doing a podcast. No, the number one for me ever of all time was I did some stuff with Derek Jeter for the captain when it was like coming out. And it was me, Jeets, Dave Winfield, Willie Randolph, and Reggie Jackson, like walking off the field of, walking off the field at Yankee Stadium with like playing in the background. And it's just, it looks like a movie scene, Doug. like we're walking towards the camera, we're just like, oh, ha, ha, I'm like, yeah, Dave Winfield, yeah, we're peers. Yeah, this guy. That was like number one.
Starting point is 00:20:12 But this, that was up there. That was up there. You're of the age. Dave Winfield was the first baseball cards that I had of any kind. Dave Winfield was my favorite first player of any kind. One of the greatest. Because I couldn't believe it. But you're, I thought you were too young to have Winfield be that for you.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Jeter had to be that. Yeah. Also, I wore an eye. Let's Dercival hat. Not a Giants hat. That is a Dominican league. Also, your sunglasses indicate that you are also vaguely conscious. Fried.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Fride. Yo, by the way, right before I did this, there was a guy that announced the Minnesota Vikings pick who, Dan Marinara saw, I don't even know the guy's name. He was a quarterback from like the 60s. I don't know whose idea was to put everybody back there and have an open bar and have a bunch of dudes with allegedly CTE back there drinking hard liquor. So this dude went out there.
Starting point is 00:21:01 He's like, when I got drafted to win this soda, I was like, I don't want to go there. It's cold as heck. And then I started to settle in the things, and I wondered, what my offensive liar was going to be like? And we had Patches Mahulham, who was one of my best friends. We used to drink bicarbonate soda together and watch the play, watch the balls and watch the ponies. I'm like, what the he's going to talk about? So then the producer lady with the, like, the headset is like panicking and shit. It's a little demure white girl.
Starting point is 00:21:31 I'm like, yeah. I was like, yo, shorthy, come here. I was like, are you running this shit? And she's like, yeah. I was like, go out to get this motherfucker off the stage. That he's talking through the music. And she's like, ah, uh, uh, I was like, just go do it. I was like, the angel on his shoulder.
Starting point is 00:21:43 I was like, go tell this, go in his ear and say, you are taking too fucking long, like that. And he will get to fucking off stage. I promise you. And that's exactly what happened. So you're alleging that all of the people who went out there were drinking too much and that the NFL was throwing people in front of lies. microphones drunk drunk and with some CTE yeah except for Barry
Starting point is 00:22:04 Sanders Barry Sanders very polo tucked into the khakis looked like he was gonna help me when my Dodge Durango and shit like just very nice humble down earth guy not drunk at all stone cold sober I'm trying to find who the guy who announced the third round pick for the Giants in 2022 was but I'm having trouble when I Google Dan Marineros off you're having trouble finding what it is that he was a A 60s quarterback who had too much to drink who announced a draft picked after Mero in 2022. By the way, the wildest distortment of people to announce picks
Starting point is 00:22:38 because before that guy, it was like some phase streamer kid. And I was just like, holy shit. I was like, what are what? This is the simulation for real. Casting is wide net. They're trying to get as many different demos representatives as are we. Don Lebertard.
Starting point is 00:22:55 And he was doing all kind of wild stuff. When he threw the ball off the glass to himself, and yammed it, I was like, wow, that's crazy. You're on perks. Stugats. You know what I mean? Allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, allegedly. This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Tony, are you ready to do Refrand del Dia with the Kid Mero? Born ready, Dano. Let's do it. I don't know this guest me What's what I'mero, Damme Loo! Hey! Hey, we're talking about TV with me Tigger
Starting point is 00:23:38 You know what's what? Look, we're here, we're active. Miami is in the playoffs. Okay? The thing is, the river is, Oye,
Starting point is 00:23:48 encendia, but today's Refundat the Dia is let's spin the wheel. Refund dea dia is Casa del Carajo Would you like to explain that one, Merro? What it is in Dominican culture?
Starting point is 00:24:08 Yes. Casa de Carajo For all you non-Spanish speakers, Casa de Carajo is a one-to-one translation for West Bumblef*** You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:24:21 If you say, yo, I live over here and people, and you're trying to get people to go there, the first response is going to be like, don't call you about Casa to Carajo, bro, oh, that's, it's 20,000 miles away.
Starting point is 00:24:31 What's the literal translation? It's House of Hell? House of Carajo. Carajo, actually, a secondary, hold on, a secondary explanation. So Carajo is actually the top of a wooden ship where people would
Starting point is 00:24:44 look out. So like a lookout post, people would send, Oie, bette by Carajo, to go out to the lookout post to look for land with a telescope. They should. So wait, so what's the literal,
Starting point is 00:24:55 the literal translation of the word Carajo, You're saying is... Go to the crow's nest In the pirate ship. Yep. Crows nest and the pirate ship is El Carajo. So when it was felt, it was obviously very far away. Oh yeah, bette by carajo.
Starting point is 00:25:08 That's so in casa carajo. Very far. Also, bonus, Carajoland. If you live mad far, you don't live in the name of your city. You live in Carajoland. Well, Pablo, man, he wants to do a dinner party, but that motherfucker lives in Carajoland, bro. We're not going over there.
Starting point is 00:25:25 We're going to empty the tank. is Merro as a proud Hispanic man ready for a Cuban Heisman trophy winner? Oh, show. Antonio Mendoza. No, Fernando Mendoza. One of them. That's okay. He got a brother name Antonio, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Antonio is good, but Fernando is even better. Fernando is a Cuban name. Yo, which by the way, when he opened his mouth, I really wanted to be like, You know, everybody's saying that we couldn't do it. I don't think there's anyone who sounds less like the guy you're describing than the actual Fernando Mendoza. I was like, is this guy from BYU? Like, who is this?
Starting point is 00:26:08 I was like, they, yo, they f***ed up the graphic. This is Martin. Frank Mediquito. Yeah. Mike, what is Columbus doing in Miami as part of Fernando Mendoza's Heisman campaign? I was driving down the term. Kendall, and I saw Heismendoza billboards driving down. So it's been a big weekend for the Columbus crew when you consider, not the MLS team,
Starting point is 00:26:35 the actual people that went to Columbus, when you consider the Mendoza thing, the University of Miami, you referenced how Mendoza sounds like. Let's play some of that postgame interview sound there, Roy. Oh, congratulations. Indiana, the Big Ten Chis, how does that sound? It sounds so beautiful. I want to give all the glory to God. We were never supposed to be in this incident, but by the glory of God.
Starting point is 00:26:56 the great coaches, great teammates, and we have around us. We were able to pull this off. Whoever thought to Hoosier would be here, but now the Hoosers are flipping champs. Let's go. Flipping chance. Bro, no one. You're a kid. You can say, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:27:11 You're overcoming emotion. I want to hear that again, because that could not have sounded any less Hispanic. He sounds like Morty from Rick and Morton. What's to say? There's a, the wavering in the voice. Oh. Congratulations. Indiana, the Big Ten champs.
Starting point is 00:27:28 How does that sound? It sounds so beautiful. I want to give all the glory to God. We were never supposed to be in this. Glory to God, the great coaches, great teammates. We were able to pull this off. Whoever thought the Hoosier would be here, but now the Hoosers are flipping champs.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Let's go. Oh, geez, Rick. Let's go, guys. You got to stay Shrifty. I don't know, Rick. Go. I need to hear a full husband speech from this dude now. Yeah, I'm in favor of him now.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Listen, guys, when I was sitting there in my blazer, I didn't know what was going to happen. I thought it was going to go to another guy, but it came to me, and I'm just really grateful to God and Jesus and God and my community. Is he the Heisman frontrunner now, Mike? Who's the betting favorite now that Indiana has just concluded its best season ever? There are a number of teams in college football. You can make the argument that Missouri, Vanderbilt, Texas Tech, Indiana all had their best seasons in program history. What are the betting odds on the Heisman trophy between him and Pavia and all the other Latin guys you wanted me to vote for on the Heism ballot?
Starting point is 00:28:38 I know Pavia was a favorite headed into conference championship weekend, but Jeremy has the odds from Giraff King Sportsbook here. Mendoza is minus 2,500 now. He's the favorite. Pavia is plus 900. Then you have Jeremiah Love, Julian Sane, Jacob Riders. Rodriguez Gunner Stockton after that. Let's go! Your top three needs to be Rodriguez, Pavia, and Mendoza.
Starting point is 00:28:59 I throw 50 on Gunner, bro, just because he has a white guy name. I'm surprised that I am surprised, and perhaps I should not be, that the betting odds changed that much. But Indiana beating Ohio State, I suppose, should do that because Pavia was a big favorite before this weekend. What is the mean age, the average age of the voting body of this. That's a good question. I mean, Poppy had a vote.
Starting point is 00:29:25 My father did have a vote. Right. So he's going to win because he said flipping instead of f***. Let's go. Lock it out. Let's go. It's not just the age of the Heisman voter because they're also, all the previous Heisman winners also get to vote.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Tebow is definitely voting for that kid. Oh, he's stuff in the ballot box. Yeah, it's not just age. It's also sensibility. It's who does well in a banquet hall. Come on. Tebow is voting for him three times, four times, on behalf of himself. the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit, all four votes going to Mendoza.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Pablo, what were the observations that you said that Mero was making about when he walked into the room that nobody was making when he walked into the room? You just pointed out that it looks like Dan is standing on, you know. Wait for the train. Yeah. You know, like waiting for the subway. Yeah. If you look at that single, look at that shot.
Starting point is 00:30:14 He's just waiting for it. Dan's also dressed like he's outdoors right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As I know you from Miami, Chip, you ain't it with a scarf on. how about usually at this time of the year on my side still shirtless drink a hennessee well thank you for bringing that up because i was curious i watched yesterday i'm watching that bill's bengals game was crazy so the bengals are winning uh by 10 with eight minutes left and then down 11 with three minutes left and in the stands in one of the snow games those bills fans
Starting point is 00:30:42 there were shirtless bills fans do you understand the mentality of that uh do you understand having as much liquor in you or what you would have to do in order to be shirtless in those kinds of temperatures. Doug, I don't know how they do that because I don't have a low pain tolerance. I have a high pain tolerance.
Starting point is 00:31:02 But for me to do that, you would have to hook me up to like a dilaudid drip or something. Like I just have to be in a fugue state. There's no way that I'm standing out there with my titty's out and there's single digits or with a negative sign in front of the temperature.
Starting point is 00:31:15 That is crazy. And then when the wind blows, it just slices across your nips. If you have acrylic paint on your tities, bro, in that weather, that cannot be good for you, bro. That is definitely toxic. That was a great DeLodin reference, because I learned what that was. I learned what that was when I was in the hospital with my brother. That is the medication that they give you when they don't want you to be feeling anything, anything at all. There's nothing stronger than that, right?
Starting point is 00:31:43 Like, Dalladden will make fentanyl to pee its pants in terms of not having anything in the way. Can you put that on the pole? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, put it on the pole. Will Dalladden make a fentanyl, pee its pants? One thousand percent. As a drug. It was in the thing that apparently killed Elvis in that cocktail.
Starting point is 00:32:01 It was part Dallauded. Oh, shit. You know, just to give you a sense of... Is that what got Mike to? You know, that was that milk. What was it called? It was... La Liche.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Yeah. Hey, yo. That's crazy. Tony, yeah? Come on now. Propofall. Let's go. I did not want us to do the let's go underneath me saying propofall, but that is the drug. Sound bite this.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Propofal. Mike, did you know that Fernando Mendoza sounded like that when the Columbus crew was telling you about the Heisman chances of Fernando Mendoza? Because I did not. Yes, I've known for a long time that he sounds the way Jeremy looks. Let's go! Yo, let's go! Yeah, Jeremy, you know, listen, man. That was the D-Waid LeBron picture, man.
Starting point is 00:32:51 You just got, you just in that. Roy, see if you can find Jeremy's let's go, the lonely let's go that Jeremy did when he was trying to get us all to follow him into battle, and it sounded like a misplaced, lonely, sad person who wasn't able to summon anything in the way of inspiration pair it against the Fernando Mendoza, if you would. I'm stalling so that Roy can find that because I haven't tried to challenge him this technically when I'm on New York before.
Starting point is 00:33:22 And so I can hear him cursing from here. And I'm continuing to Google Dilaudid just to make sure I didn't miss any other celebrities who died because of... See if you can find another drug stronger than that because I don't believe there is one stronger than that. You have 23 seconds to get us the punctuation, Roy, no pressure. No, Roy is up there. I can see the screen.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Do you see the waveforms on that screen? boy he is moving yeah roughly four to five times stronger than oxycodone god damn don't um let's go yeah no wonder let's go let's go download it
