Juju, please put this on the poll and I ask for the audience for submissions as well at The The Chrysler Concepcion. The Chevy Tarasi. That's close. That's good. It's close. Tags is still atop the mountain.

Can I add one? A Dodge Durant. You think the Dodge Durant is better than the Dodge Dorsett or the Dodge Saber Hagen? I like Durant. You like the alliteration? Yeah I really do. Tarassi I guess because it's so close to Torres but Tagliabue. I don't think we beat Tagliabue yet. I don't think we've beaten Tagliabue yet either at LeBataard

show. David Sampson is with us his podcast Nothing Personal covers an array of topics that is super unusual and I don't think there's an individual host I've heard anywhere in sports with the terrain that he is covering in sports business and complicated issues. David, thank you for joining us before we get to the sports things of the day though. The Oscars, you are obsessed with the Oscars more than just about anything in entertainment. Everything just came out. What is your experience with this stuff?

Are you waiting somewhere at the appointed time to make sure you get the information because you care so much about whether or not the things that you thought were great in the movies are validated by the Academy? Well, I do a live show for MetalArk from to 8 50 a.m. Eastern and the Oscar nominations come out at 8 30. And so for the last many years, I have missed the live announcement and I asked Coco the producer to feed the nominations in my ear as they're happening and he refuses to do it because we're in the middle of a show. So then I end the show and now I have to talk about them tomorrow,

but I'm already caught completely up to date, and it's one of the great sadnesses of my life that I miss the live nomination announcements. I used to love it. I would, there were times during owners' meetings when I would step out, because they would happen on, normally on a, things were different this year

because of the fires, but normally on a Tuesday, when I'd be in a meeting or a Thursday whatever the day is and I would literally step out and watch it live But not this year Dan David what's going on with this Amelia Perez thing because look for the record. I haven't seen it yet I haven't been moved to see it a lot of people whose opinion I value told me like this is not nomination worthy and it's one thing to be nominated for a golden globe but now it's nominated for best picture it's got the lowest rotten tomato score by four not that not that that's going to be the end all and be all by it but i've just seen

like isolated clips of this film and it's kind of confirming to me that it's probably not that great surely there had to be a better film to round out this nomination field for best picture, no? Well, it actually leads with 13 nominations and it helps that it's in the international category. It's unbelievable. The story itself is unbelievable. Forget the fact that it's the first trans woman

to be nominated for best actress and her performance as Amelia Perez is the best of the year, but Demi Moore is certainly leading right now to win best actress. But you've got songs, you've got music, you've got a story, you've got drugs, you've got sex, you've got Selena Gomez, you've got an unbelievably gripping tale

of what it is to be in a cartel and decide that you've had a crisis of conscience and it makes you change your entire life including leaving your wife and kids in order to live your truth and living truth when you've been part of murder and mayhem and money is quite difficult. It's an extraordinary movie and before you criticize it you should watch it why is there such a disparity between nominations and a rotten tomato score is it because it gets politicized because anything on the internet that is made by something someone who's a minority or uh... a group that is

transgender you're going to get a wild fluctuation on the politics of a review? No, I think it's anything without an exclamation point or a part two or Ryan Reynolds doesn't get enough attention. So this is just a movie that's not for everyone because it requires your head and your heart. And there's a lot of movies out there that are made for the lowest common denominator

and this is not one of them. And one of the great criticisms of the Oscars is that it really brings movies that are not widely seen to the forefront. the lowest common denominator, and this is not one of them. And one of the great criticisms of the Oscars is that it really brings movies that are not widely seen to the forefront. Well, go see them because they're really good and you shouldn't be afraid to learn. It's like, oh, this won the Pulitzer Prize,

I can't read it, I'm gonna stick with just reading Stu Gotts' book. That's not how it's supposed to be. You're supposed to read books that improve your knowledge and intellect, and I, that's not how it's supposed to be. You're supposed to read books that improve your knowledge and intellect, and I think that's the same with movies. So what you're talking about, Dan,

and things being politicized, what's interesting about this is like, the communities are sort of split on this. There have actually been several LGBTQ critics of this movie saying things such as, it seemed like the filmmaker was painting trans women as liars, and Glad said it was a profoundly retrograde portrayal

of trans women. So that's been, most of what I have been seeing is actually people criticizing it from that perspective of no, this isn't actually, even though we're using inclusion and using a trans woman as an actor and all of those things, it's actually sort of backwards in some of its ideals there. And so that's, I think, part of what has been the conflict

and also that Selena Gomez is not speaking very good Spanish. The movie that we reviewed last week, Chasing, Chasing Amy, had a lot of people from inside the LGBTQ community criticizing the movie Chasing Amy as though it did not properly portray what it is to be lesbian or that you can become not a lesbian if you have Ben Affleck. Everybody's so quick to stand up and try to criticize. To me I look at Emilia

Perez, I look at it as a movie. I don't look at it as a trans movie or an LGBTQ movie or a black and white movie or a musical. I look at it as see what the story is, see what the acting is, the writing, the directing, the music, and it's got all of that. And so that is the reason why I'm a supporter of it. David Challenger's biggest snub not getting a best score nomination. Well Atticus and Ross, as you know, they basically the minute they put a note down, they're going to get a nomination.

So that was a big surprise. The Challengerers got nothing. There was a possibility in screenplay, but original score was supposed to be it. And listen, the movies that were nominated in original score category, there are no schleppers in the category. The biggest snub of all, for me, happened in the documentary category. But you're right, challengers not getting any love was certainly disappointing. Don't you think that the film itself didn't do the score any favors?

Because in a vacuum, I loved the score too, but by the end it was almost used comedically and I found myself literally laughing at the score and the way that the film was using it. I guess that might be an argument for why it should be nominated. Exactly. Yes, I agree.

That's the best score ever. It's so good and it adds so much to the film. I guess I might be an argument for why it should be nominated. Exactly. I agree. That's the best score ever. It's so good and it adds so much to that. Picture that movie without the score. It's kind of like... It's just like a horny alarm that goes off. Anytime it gets horny, we play this music.

That's the point. It's awesome. But it's making me laugh at the end and not taking it as seriously, but I guess that's the point. I'm not supposed to take it seriously And and you know how scores happen in that the movie is filmed there's no music to it and then you go into a Edit bay and the movie is playing and there's the director sort of watching over the people doing the score and they're adding music It changes the whole movie. Yeah scores to a movie actually are adding music, it changes the whole movie. Scores to a movie actually are maybe the single most

important thing that gets done after filming, even more so than editing. Well, editing's up there, but you ain't lying, especially for certain genres. For horror, there's certain movies that you can't even imagine, like Psycho or Jaws, you can't imagine without the score. I guess the score in this film becomes a character

in its own right. So again, more arguments for it being nominated. Look at this typical sports show arguing about scores. What are we doing? David, do I don't think that Mike Ryan and the time works out so that Mike Ryan can indeed nominate Mission Impossible for this year's Oscars, but it has been reported that someone had a heart attack while watching. Almost. An almost heart attack. An almost? Well, it's a heart attack. What's an almost heart attack? It's a heart attack, but it didn't end in death. It's still a heart attack. It's like when your right arm cramps. That's like an almost heart attack. Yes, because of the stressful situation that I assume happens underwater. Keep in mind,

Final Reckoning, it was supposed to be, well, the original thing was Mission Impossible, Dead Reckoning, part one. And they've just gotten rid of that. And they're just calling MI8 the Final Reckoning. But it is almost a, well, it is a direct sequel from the events that what happened in Dead Reckoning Part 1, which as you know has a submarine submerged in the arctic waters. Ethan's going to have to go down there and get something. So I imagine he's going to drown and die for possibly the third time in this franchise. Samson has very little interest in the Mission Impossible movies. Why? That's not true at all. No, it's the greatest action franchise of all time.

Full stop. That's not true what you just said. Just because it's not academy worthy in acting or in directing or in writing does not mean I don't love being entertained. I've seen every single one. I don't like when you put me in the box because it serves the show or serves you to have the experience of it. You know what?

Forgive me. I will apologize to you. I simply don't think of you and action movies because you never come on here wanting to talk action movies. I didn't think of that as a genre that you partook in because I can't recall in 20 years doing this with you, you coming on here wanting to review an action movie. Well, the reason is that you guys do that without me what I try to do including the movie I want to review today is a movie

that I don't know if everybody's going to see and if even 5 listeners or whatever your reach and roar is if anyone gets out of their comfort zone and just the way Mike Ryan has me get out of mine and watch movies that I otherwise would not watch including what I'm watching this weekend Mike is nominated for four Oscars is your best movie of the year. Are you saying Nosferatu? I just didn't want to say Nosferatu I wanted you to say it because it's your movie. To be clear to be clear it was a film that excited me the most I don't think the best movie that I

I think I've seen all year from 2024 is probably a Nora, but I have to get around. I haven't seen the bulk of the best picture nominations. I'll get around to every single one of them. I am a little disappointed that Nosferatu didn't crack like some of the 10 best films. I thought it did get nominated for cinematography, which I thought was just jaw jaw dropping in this film. So I'm happy that I'm getting out of your comfort zone. And as you might agree, that horror is really pushing some of the most creative boundaries in cinema right now. Well, I'm hoping it's not a jump scare horror movie

because the last movie that you said I shouldn't watch, it really wasn't a horror movie. It was just a horror to watch it. So I do view those as different. The genre of horror to watch, you can put Schindler's List in that. Horror movie to me is, you know, the Exorcist and the Shining. But I assume that Nosferatu is not that sort of movie.

At least I hope not. No, it's not that. I want to ask Mike and David a question. When you both said during this segment, as you know, to us. Did you guys think we really knew or were you faking it? Is as you know as a crutch, were you confident that we knew or were you just lying to us being polite? I'll start with that.

That's a verbal crutch that I do that comes off as hugely condescending. And I shouldn't do it because when I say as you know, what I'm really saying to someone, whether it's in a negotiation or just in a conversation is, listen, idiot, I don't want to have to say this again. If you don't know this, it should be sort of imputed knowledge. So it's really said negatively. And I will try to cut that out of my speech. But do you do you recall what both of you said to us on As You Know?

Because I don't know, but I didn't know when you said it. And in both instances, both of you were saying something that I thought was obscure enough that the audience and me did not know, would not know, could not be expected to know. I may have that wrong. I did kind of stop listening because it was so condescending. David, are you in a retirement home?

No, I'm in the Otis Saga Hotel in Cooperstown. Not a retirement home. Nice drapes. It's a place where Hall of Famers are. So I agree with you. It looks on the old side. It is on the old side. I'm telling you right now.

You're on a wooden chair. The furniture behind you is so very Cooper's town. It smells from here like Cooper's town. I feel like somebody in the 1930s has sat in that chair after being on a train riding across the country with Dizzy Dean. I had the weirdest thing happen in my

room today is that while I was in the bathroom and getting ready for my shows and going to sleep, I was thinking about which Hall of Famers were in this room, because this is where the Hall of Famers stay when they get inducted in July and all the Hall of Famers come back

and we're here today to introduce the new class of Hall of Famers. And I never think this way because I always want to assume I'm the first tuchus to be in any room I'm in because otherwise it's too gross. But I was thinking like, what if Johnny Bench like squatted right here? And I assume that something happened just like that.

That hotel just visually definitely haunted. Like there has absolutely been ghost ass on that toilet. David, uh- I love the nutmobile. Hey Jeremy. Yes, Mike? Have you ever had a fireside conversation during football Sunday during the winter? Sure.

We don't have a lot of fireplaces down here, but I've had the premise of it. I wish I could, but it's South Florida. When it gets down to the 60s, we're like, uh... We're bundled up, but certainly no fireplaces. Still too warm for that. But we do have our Football Sundays, and one thing that always makes Football Sundays good, and I know you've had plenty of experience in your life with this, Miller time. Oh yeah! Miller Lite makes the winter better, it makes Football Sundays better, it makes even hanging out

around you better. Thanks, Mike. That was kind. I appreciate that. You're my friend. When I have a Miller Lite in my hand, pretty much everybody is my friend because we are like-minded. Because we like beer that actually tastes like beer.

Okay, no. The home run call was, that kind of swing, that kind of thing! Stugats! Oh. It's a good call. Thank you.

And plus, it doesn't matter who's hitting it, like you're not tailing it to a particular name. Correct. You know, all that jazz, you know, you don't gotta do that, you just do a generic call. Oh, that would be a great call. That kind of swing, that kind of thing. This is the Don Lebathear Show with the Stugats. David, as you know, there is a controversy surrounding The Brutalist and its use of post-production AI to refine some of the Hungarian accents which affects the

performance and how we perceive them of some of these actors directly and it may actually cost the brutalist a best picture because it seemed like all the momentum was going towards that but now you're gonna have an AI debate surrounding one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year what's your take on this? Yeah there are people in the industry who know the truth about this, which is that sort of AI engagement has been going on for a long time. And somehow it just came out and you'd have to wonder,

what is it a coincidence that it's around The Brutalist, which is obviously a controversial topic. It's a three and a half hour movie that will make people examine things they prefer not to examine. But the movies and as as you know Mike, there's a lot of fake stuff in the movies. As a matter of fact, everything is fake.

Now, Tom Cruise may do his own stunts, good for him, but there's a lot of stuff going on in Mission Impossible that may not exactly be as it seems, and the way movies are edited and cut, and the way in which they're filmed, It's all meant to make the audience think something is happening for art sake That's actually not happening And if you think AI the whole reason for the strikes was what AI was going to be used for and if you take it Even further could AI replace certain things and the answer is it certainly can and it will put it on the pole

Please juju at lebatard show. What would you be more likely to drive a porsche? Candiotti or a Lamborghini Scalabrini At lebatard show which one of those two automobiles would you be more likely? to drive David I know be more likely to drive. David, I know that the audience and everyone here is tired of Jimmy Butler stuff. Do you have anything interesting that you believe is not being said at this trough of Pat Riley's way

is being undermined from the inside in a way? And one of the reasons this show is reacting this way is because we've never seen it before. I just hope Pat Riley stands his ground, actually. I hope that he tells the other teams, whether it's Phoenix, it doesn't matter who, that this is the package he wants and he won't take anything less.

And if Phoenix can go out and get it from Utah and myriad other teams and deliver to Pat a huge win for his franchise, then I'm happy to trade Jimmy. Otherwise, I'm happy to let him sit. He's shooting nine shots a game, playing 24 minutes a game, suspend him for whatever he does and try to save the money for Mickey.

I'm in on all of it. I think that Pat Riley is over player empowerment and he is manifesting this sort of angst and sick of it and he's doing it all directed toward Jimmy and I'm here for it. But in terms of his team and our team, I hope that he does not give in and trade Jimmy without getting back what he wants. Jeremy, would you look something up for me please because I should make a correction. While I've never seen it happen to Pat Riley in Miami, I did see it happen to him in New York. One of the famous funny stories is Anthony Mason was one of his players.

Anthony Mason, Jay Fiedler's brother at Levitard Show, put that on the poll. Did you know that Anthony Mason and Jay Fiedler were brothers at Levitard Show? He was having all sorts of problems with Anthony Mason. He suspends Anthony Mason or there was a fight or something and Anthony Mason was seen at a time that people thought he should be taking basketball very seriously in the audience of the Ricky Lake show. And this was a very big controversy in New York that Pat Riley couldn't get control of Anthony Mason. Look up the details for me on that because Anthony Mason had a number of different conflicts. It's what he's doing, David. What you said he's doing appears to be what he is doing. And I was just talking about what a misery it would be to

step into that place. Like, I understand the players got the power and stuff and the player will make a mess, but man, what a misery misery like if Jimmy Butler thought he wasn't having joy playing basketball before to show up to work just to collect your paycheck so that your entire team could be looking for things you're doing wrong so that they could suspend you again like that's a horseshit situation to be in to be walking into every day as an employee. Haven't you ever been in an atmosphere in a relationship where people are separated or divorced, but living in the same house for whatever financial reason or people at work who

don't get along, but show up just to get their paycheck. And you can tell who those people are that they're trying very hard not to do anything. So they get suspended or they get fired. This happens in every workplace in the world. And basketball is no exception to that. And the thing is in sports we try to give in to players so much because we're worried about PR. Well, Pat Riley with age and with success

hopefully is getting back to the point where his give a shit meter has lowered to the point where he doesn't get impacted by anyone saying or thinking anything about what he's doing. And that's why I think Jimmy Butler should just rot at the end of the bench. I wouldn't trade him even if I got the package I wanted for spite alone.

But I think Pat, I think Pat, I'm just telling you what I would do to Jimmy Butler for what he's doing to Pat Riley if I were Pat Riley. But I think Pat understands that if he can get the exact right package, he'll take it. David, in your time with the Mar marlins i wonder if you ever had a player who presented to you a butler type situation

so the minute we left graga uh... christian yellich did it to derrick jeter and derrick jeter sense christian yellows to the brewers in what became one of the worst rates the franchise is done except for the ones I did. And that was a major thing when the player doesn't want to be there and Derek Jeter

actually went public saying, I don't want players around who don't want to be here. Stanton many times said to me that he wanted to be traded, he wasn't happy with the direction of the franchise and we had just said to him, you know, we're not trading you, as a matter of fact, we're gonna offer you so much money that we're gonna make you stay here forever, which is what we did.

So there were players throughout, but a lot of them were side players, like a Jeff Baker, who is just a miserable, unhappy player. And what you do in that case is just release him. David, good seeing you. Thank thank you the podcast is nothing personal i urge you to check it out no matter where he is in the world even if it's a haunted hotel in cooper's town he is doing it daily thank you sir appreciate the time uh... i should have mentioned to him and i will tell the audience he did some

very good work on each row he knows each row and I know that Greg Cody had his Hall of Fame ballot and was passionate about it and we never got to yesterday all of the arguments that were breaking out all over the studio about an assortment of things I heard you telling your son that you regret not voting for Juan Pierre. I thought you mishandled yesterday's show. I thought you creating the illusion that you were the voter who had snubbed Ichiro, the one vote that didn't make it unanimous for Ichiro. We still don't know who that voter is, correct? I believe that that voter has been called the numbskull

by John Heyman, protector of the Hall of Fame and all sacred baseball things. And that voter hasn't been smoked out yet, correct? So that people can shame him or her for his or her terrible vote? What are you willing to call them? Are you willing to go to dipshit? Well, Greg Cody has a list, thank you for asking jessica that is expanding throughout the show stugots was helping him with it

Uh, it used to be a top five list of old people insults because numbskull is very good But now we're ready to do top 10 Top 10 greg cody old people insults any all i are we going straight to uh... straight to number ten we've cut out all the fat we're getting right to the meat are right uh... number ten dip shit what is that strong ten what what is that

good question we're on it a guy who doesn't vote for each year to be in the hall of fame okay i've got other questions like this because i put it on the poll do you know what a dipshit actually is because uh... i don't know it is anything other than an insult but i was thinking the other day out of nowhere on mother bleeper is that someone who bleeps mothers or screws them over like which mother bleeper is someone who has sex with mothers or just screws them over? Like which mother bleeper is someone who has sex with mothers or just screws them over?

Someone who betrays mothers? I don't know which one of those two things it is. Eileen Betrayal. Do you? Yeah. I think I would too. You guys don't, you don't, okay. I would have assumed that that's someone

who's having sex with mothers. Then that would be a compliment, that'd be a cool guy. Would it be? That motherfucker. In this country? Oedipus. So in the 1930s, dip didn't just mean

like dipping something into something, it also was a slang term that meant fool or simpleton. So it was just basically combining that. So a fool dipped in shit? Yeah. Okay. Number nine. doofus Number eight blockhead

Headed in shit. Hey, it's my list get your own fair enough number seven buffoon Number six numbskull Loon Buffoon. Number six. Numskull. Five. Loon. That's very high. Four. Fiend. That's made a comeback.

Number three. Knit wit. What is a knit wit? What is, is just something that rhymes with wit. No, no wit. Number two. Feels like this could have been a tough five gutter snipe Gutter snipe. Put it on the pole, please Juju. Have you ever heard the insult gutter snipe? Number one, that's very high nincompoop High. Ninkum poop. NIT comes from the Dutch word meaning nothing or not combined with wit which is you know. No wit, you got it. Yes. Witless. Very good at origin

words I guess. Put it on the poll please Juju at LeBittard Show. I think the audience is gonna side with me on this. I also think it's not something the audience has considered. Mother bleeper, question mark, someone who bleeps mothers or bleeps them over at LeBittard Show. You got your back, hang on. Thank you, Mike. I do appreciate you chasing all of these things down. Like the old days, it feels good,

it feels good to just have Mike Ryan chase things around for me. Honestly, AI has made this so much easier. Where did you land, Cody, on eTrial? Because one of the things that I have been trying to celebrate in sports around here over the last, I'm going to say, 10 years of watching everything become content, argument, culture, everything

is to be complained about in sports instead of celebrating, is just that we're living in an era of real mastery. Like to see LeBron posturing people at 40 is crazy even as LeBron and Anthony Davis are saying we don't have enough help. It's just crazy to see Otani doing what he's doing after seeing Serena Williams do what she did. But what Ichiro did as mastery, because it came from another land and because he wasn't revealing in interviews and it could be hard to traverse the cultural language barrier I don't think that people understand what we're talking about with what each hero could do with a baseball bat that had no precedent in the sport.

I remember being in a clubhouse one time with Rafael Palmeiro and a baseball bat. And he is holding the baseball bat and he's bouncing the baseball on the baseball bat and he could do it for an hour. Like Tiger did with a ball? He could do it for an hour because he just knows how to land the ball

on the part of the bat that he wishes it to hit and each hero was more than whatever that mastery is like when i'm watching this documentary between greg maddox and barry bonds and i'm watching the two of them talk about the level of expertise that we're talking about here it's something that you'd hear from lebron on his jj redd podcast, which is better partnership than the one they have in basketball. What Ichiro did professionally from another land is a bit of one of these mysteries where you're like, I don't understand how he was able to combine the arts from his homeland on discipline to do something that is a failure game

and he failed at it less than most because of how he could control a baseball bat. I've got the origin of Mother Bleeper. So it's not actually bleeping one's mother. It was used like, you know how you have a huge battle, the mother of all battles. This Sunday we have the mother of all AFC games. So what this signifies is you are essentially the mother of all battles this Sunday. We have the mother of all AFC games So what this signifies is you are essentially the mother of all Bleepers
