Now's a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo.

I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the Tequila that started it all. Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo.

DraftKings, the crown is yours.

Stugats, how do you feel about Mark Stein reporting that Durant wanted four teams on his list instead of three, but that the Knicks made it clear they weren't interested in KDs, so he kept them off their list. I'm okay with that. Again, we started the show saying one of the problems with the NBA is we're all sitting around talking about a 37 year old guy and what a difference he can make for a team. I'm okay with the Knicks not wanting Kevin Durant. Like Like I don't know if Kevin Durant wins them an NBA title. In fact, he probably doesn't and I'm okay with the Knicks passing and keeping that core together. I think I can make the

argument that statistically Kevin Durant was better than Jalen Brunson last year. Could I not? Could I not also make the argument that Kevin Durant is someone even though Jalen Brunson is the clutchiest of clutch, you need someone the size of Kevin Durant to be able to the clutchiest of clutch, you need someone the size of Kevin Durant to be able to get you all of those shots you need that Jalen Brunson has taken you as far as he can go. Stu, if you don't have to lose Jalen Brunson or Carl Anthony Towns, why would the Knicks

say no to Kevin Durant? Well, what am I losing? Does it matter? Well, yeah. As long as it's not those two names, does it matter? I would find it nearly impossible that Kevin Durant would go to the Knicks without one of those players.

It's not gonna be Brunson, but Townes going back. But that's fine. You're saying that Kevin Durant wouldn't want to go there. I'm telling you, if I'm the Knicks, and I know I don't have to give up Jalen Brunson, I don't have to give up Carl Anthony Townes, I absolutely would want Kevin Durant. This would be one of those situations

that Mike got so upset about that you're not willing to get rid of some of your other players to get the superstar. No, get rid of them. Mikhail Bridges, Josh Hart, be gone. But do you think that's a possibility? That's a terrible defensive team. But if you're presenting it that way, of course I would want Kevin Durant. I just find it nearly impossible that Townes doesn't leave the Knicks if they get Kevin Durant. I don't know how many people are clamoring for Carl Anthony Townes. I like Carl Anthony Towns. Yeah, they don't really have a whole lot of assets. They do, those two contracts that I just mentioned

are expiring, so if Phoenix wants to rebuild, they just have to deal with that for one year. So there are ways that the Knicks could get involved. So to hear a report that the Knicks aren't interested or denying Kevin Durant sounds pretty ridiculous. What does that say about Kevin Durant? That the Knicks don't know what he is. That they don't know who he is and they don't know how to utilize him. I mean, I that say about Kevin Durant? That the Knicks don't know what he is. That they don't know who he is

and they don't know how to utilize him. I mean, I don't want Kevin Durant, that team has a good thing going. They were in the Eastern Conference Finals, they took a step from last year, Eastern Conference Semifinals. You don't think that's their ceiling? That team's ceiling right there.

I mean, Dan Halliburton hit a lucky shot, game one, otherwise maybe the Knicks are playing for an NBA title right now. Your best option is to find a coach that can somehow enhance the offense of Carl Anthony Townsend and Jalen Brunson and make this team rather unstoppable. But going back to Kevin Durant, if I am Kevin Durant, I don't want to go to a franchise that has some uncertainty

in the coaching ranks, right? Just got rid of somebody who maybe he would play for, for I don't know who, right? So I don't think he would want to. No, but he wanted to go there. No, but he was okay going there. They don't want him. I'm at least a little.

He had his chance, Dan. I'm at least a little bit surprised by that. I wanna ask the group of you though, off of yesterday, I don't know what you guys think is the primary job of a coach, managing people is just generally hard. I know when it comes to, for example, Stugatz, in the very few Hollywood directors that I've ever been able to talk to,

and it's only been a couple, will tell you that the director's job is basically to just be a place where all the people can come and get answers to their problems. A CEO will tell you, a lot of CEOs will tell you that a CEO's job is just to deliver bad news, that it's not what you think it is,

it's just the perpetual delivery of bad news. When it comes to big decisions, the reason I pay Rick Carlisle is to have the strength of governance over his proceedings that when I'm down two in the fourth quarter, he knows he's gotta sit the guy who's got six drives in the game and bring in McConnell because a healthy McConnell is better than Halliburton with six drives in the game. You're two points on the road from taking game five and bringing it home. The decision I need my coach to make is the most difficult one to make. I sit my star who wants to play but is useless because

Halliburton that way loses to a lot of teams in the league because that's not good enough. TJ McConnell was good in that third quarter that's the decision I'm paying the coach to make. I understand today people questioning it and I also understand why Carlisle goes with the guy that he has because he thinks he's got some magic and maybe because Halliburton's his star for years to come, you gotta just keep riding that because you can't, you give away this season with the decision, but you can't make the other decision

because the other decision is the brave one that if you lose the game the same way, people are gonna say, why isn't Halliburton in the game even injured? I think that's the perspective a guy like Rick Harlow has to have. Not only did he win a championship, but he won that championship with a superstar who

was aging, right? It felt there was extra pressurized to get it there. With Tyrese Halliburton, even last year's run just to the conference finals, but certainly this year's run to the finals, feels like you're doing this with house money, feels like they're a little ahead of the curve here. So the last thing you would want to do is injure your player for next year.

You wanna keep this sort of upswing going and make sure that hey, if we are this type of team that can own the East for years to come, we have to have our superstar. So it makes it a little bit of an easier decision only because Rick Harlow has that perspective. That's the long term, but for the now, your job is to give your team the best chance to win. And if McConnell is gonna give your team the best chance to win and if McConnell is gonna give your team the

best chance to win that's the guy you have to go to even if it means Halliburton doesn't play as much. It's easy to say today and and Izzy's telling you that he thinks a lot of coaches make the move to McConnell since 2019 and I don't think a lot do. I think a lot of coaches just stay with the injured guy because he wants to play. He's my star. He's my leader. The other guy, McConnell, is used to a specific role that isn't playing the last eight minutes of the game and controlling everything. And so I would have made the same decision Carlisle made.

I'm not sitting here arguing easily on the other end of, well, they lost, therefore the other move is the move that's going to work. I'm just presenting to the audience what a difficult decision that is. I know everyone's gonna criticize it. Today, it's just when you live with these people, they're human beings and your job is to manage them? McConnell's role is McConnell's role.

Halliburton's your star for the next 10 years. I understand what Carlisle did, even if it cost him the game. It's just like, they were right there on the championship in game four and game five and they're a decision away from the winning margin and Carlisle's done a great job in this series, but on that one, that's the in retrospect that's clearly the wrong decision by result and process I would say because he's hurt and he was obviously hurt and he was hurt in a way we could all see so his defense isn't gonna be any good in against to god

if haliburton's got six drives in the game that ceases to be haliburton yet makes this unique though is the injuries specifically it's the calf injury that people are very sensitive about because it obviously leads to a kill his injuries uh... tony reality is now ready he is poolside South Florida is still buzzing on the cusp of a championship. Is anyone out there with you or are you at the pool by yourself because I don't see buzzing I don't hear buzzing I just see you with sunglasses. No no no and this is pretty good right now but I got

my man right here Josh. Josh is an enormous fan. Biggest you could ever hope for. Oh boy. What are we talking about? Yeah. We're talking about the Florida Panthers on the cusp of a championship tonight. What's going through your mind right now? I was thinking, I think they're against the oil, right? The oil. The oil are who we're operating against. That's what Puck knows. Yes, you know Puck. Alright, so since you know Puck, third line of the Panthers really what are you expecting whoa? That's a that's one with Chachaka Chachaki Okay, so parking is where you want to go bark off. Yeah, it's a truck X Factor right buck Okay, yeah, could shock okay

Yeah, so so you're here in Miami, and you're visiting and you're from Lake Abbey, Arizona wonderful, and that's already like a Vacation spot and now you go to Miami for more vacation because that's your life. Cannot get enough sun. What makes you positive? My wife. Yes. Life, job. I get to come to Miami and talk hockey which is my favorite sport of all time. Have you ever been to a hockey very? I have, yes. Have you ever been on ice? No, I have no balance. See, so this is with the Dan LeBretard radio show, and they want to talk to as many people who breathe and live and sleep Florida Panthers, because that's what I've been touring all

of Miami, and I have found a grand total of about two people. Perfect. Well, I'm half of one of those two. Dan, you want to ask Josh anything? His career with the Saints, when Jeremy Shockey caught all those passes as a New Orleans... He thinks you look like Jeremy Shockey, a Miami Hurricane tight end, who then became a... Shockey, you know Shockey?

Yeah, football, I know a little bit about football. Are you a Cardinals fan? No, I'm a Seahawks fan. All right, Tony, I have a question. Tony, I'm a seat box man. All right, Tony I have a question Tony. I have a question for him. All right, still got still gots is with us. Yes Yes, I want to know since he's a big football fan. How does he feel about Michael Vick wants to know Mike Them damn dogs, I mean, all right. Yeah, so now we got

Okay them damn dogs I mean. Alright yeah so now we got, now we got, okay. Excellent. This is the, okay alright. This is, this is, stupotity is what we would describe this as. Um, but you don't sense that this city is ready to explode with a championship. Uh, this city is already pretty crazy from what I've experienced so, if they win tonight is it in in Florida night. We try to seek out the Panthers are out uh Probably not, but I'll get close to it. Yeah, yeah, so we're looking for proximity to party right here. That's what we're doing Okay, it looks like a good party. Yes, be careful I remember when he was in Vegas at a pool party one time they said it was dehydration It didn't seem like it was dehydration. You look like Shockey one time they said it was dehydration it didn't seem like it was dehydration you look like shocky he thinks he looks like Jeremy we're moving on see you

later Tony we'll check back in with you keep looking for Panther fans this is mission impossible man I don't know where to set me on it's a big night in South Florida the championship we flew you in we flew you in with a big expense account to go offer tuition to people if the score is nine nothing. We'll check back in with you. One of the things we haven't talked about today, those two guys, and we've erred in not doing so. Jonathan Zaslow lost a monster bet last night. Oh yeah. And he's got to come in here, I believe, soon with a hair system of some sort and not be able to tell anybody that it's a hair system. He's not going to

be able to cover that big surface area baldness with a backward cap either. He's gotta keep K-Fabe. Now we're researching hair systems. Like I said, I take this very seriously. Hell, I want him to take a consultation. So he's scheduled for tomorrow because tomorrow's, you know, the recap of game six.

Don't think we're gonna have a system in place in time that we feel good about. But for the remainder of the summer, we're gonna have a system in place in time that we feel good about, but for the remainder of the summer, we're gonna have several options presented for Jonathan Zaslow, and he must not call attention to it. He just puts on his hair system in the morning, comes into work, and he just handles business. It's going to be funny, he can't mention it,

talk about it with anybody. Now what is your appetite in terms of budget here? Because I really want something that's convincing. They're expensive, man. Yeah, like if you want the Ravi collection, it's gonna cost you a couple hundo. If you want the self collection, we're talking about something even more.

I want una peluca from La Casa de los Trucos. I want you to say that. There's gotta be like one low rent option, that's just obvious. A wig. So the Ravi. Yeah, there's a dude that works valet downstairs, and it's one of the worst things I've ever seen. I can just like pull it off.

Oh my God. Did you see that guy. Oh my god This take kills with just us two yet doesn't help visually And I hope like maybe maybe one day reality's gonna be doing his thing for us and you can just catch him like like Don't be like that's a guy. You'll know you'll know when you see it a double take You're like, yeah also like if you're to do that, you can't go jet black. Even rabies learn, touch of gray. Yes, you have to. That's the move.

That's a bad loss for Zazz. It was an unfair bet. He had to go over 50 and 1 half. Shay Gilders, Alexander points, rebounds, and assists when he'd only done that a couple of seasons. That was a terrible bet. He didn't even hit the original number. Terrible?

I mean, excuse me. This is thousands of dollars for these two tickets. You gotta wanna earn, gotta wanna learn, or something like that. We will see what the appetite is for a budget to make Zazzle look ridiculous because he lost that bet. Well, he already looks ridiculous. I'm planning on him to look good.

The ridiculous part. This is to help him out. The ridiculous part is him not being able to admit that he has a system in place. So like, no, I want Zazz to look great. I'm gonna do him a great service here. I have a number of things that I wanna get to here with Billy that I have failed to get to

over the last couple of days. He's developed a new fondness for hotel safes that I did not realize he had. I want one at my house. Where did this come from? A hotel. No, I got it. The safe in the hotel. Where did what happened?

What was your experience with a hotel safe that makes you want and by the way Kevin Durant's two gods average 26 points a game Last year on 53% shooting Jaylen Brunson averaged 26 points a game on 48% shooting left turn We're talking safes. Yeah I'm just updating you. Durant's had his chance to come to the Knicks. He chose the Brooklyn Nets. I don't want him. I don't care. You said left turn. Right. No, I don't want to talk. There's a big race in Mexico, Dan. I want to have windshield wipers. I want to

understand why Billy fell in love with the hotel safe, how he's using it, why he wants one in his house. Put it on the poll at LeBotard Show. Would you like a hotel safe in your house? Well, because I just put my phone in it. I woke up, I checked my phone, and then I put it in the hotel safe, and then it disappeared for eight hours

or whatever amount of time I was gone. And then I came back and I checked it after the kids were asleep, and I was very happy. Just putting my stuff in a hotel safe, not having to check my phone anymore. So just not having the phone is what made you happy. That really is what it is. So it's not about the safe at all.

It has nothing to do with the safe. All you needed to do was get away from your phone for a couple of hours. The phone could have stayed in the room, just on the bed. No, no, no, you gotta put it in the safe because the safe adds a level of inconvenience that you then need to go and you need to put in the code. Yeah, you have to get up and you have to go enter the code

and then open it and then if the door slightly, it's a whole thing. It makes it inconvenient. I want to inconvenience myself to get off my phone. But don't all these housekeepers have the ability like at the end of a stay to reset these, like the people you're trying to keep them from have access to the safe.

I'm pretty sure yeah, that I think you just do like 0000 or something like that and it just opens and you reset the safe. I've done it on a cruise before where I broke and they come in, they have this like little magnet thing. They just put up to it and boom, it opens. Oh, if they want your stuff, they're taking your stuff. Yeah.

No doubt about it. Yeah, 100%. So put these on the poll, please. Is your stuff safe in a hotel safe? So is a hotel safe safe is how I want that to read on Twitter, is a hotel safe safe at Levitarch. Also do you feel a little richer if you put stuff in there, right?

Cause I like looking around, I did this first time on a cruise, I'm like, what do I need to put in the safe? I'm like, well wait a second, this little gold chain is probably, my AirPods is probably good. And you just start putting stuff in there. And then when you get back and you open it up,

it's like, wow, look at all these valuables I have. They also can fit everything. It seems like it's an endless, it looks small, but if you go, I don't know where, it has a black hole, you just can put everything in there. You can put a computer in there, you can put in an iPad, a laptop, your phone, your weed. Yeah, I was gonna say drugs.

I was gonna go harder than weed. Really? It's never good when you gotta spray that thing down after. At LeBotard Show, please, do you feel wealthier when you put things in a hotel safe? And also, I guess since we're getting carried away, when you get your AirPods out of the hotel safe, do you feel like it's a treasure chest?

Because I really don't understand what Izzy is doing or Billy for that matter because Well, just you don't need the safe to be away from your phone. No, I do You're saying it's unsafe to be away from you If there were certain steps you had to take every single day to get your phone. Would you get well? It's funny. You should mention that because about three years ago okay uh... because i have to have told you before that i sort of want to frisbee all of my

electronics into the ocean but i sort of can't because there's something about what it is that we do here every day that requires at least the tangential knowledge of stuff that's going on you've got a sort of keep up with things and I've I've felt what Billy is feeling where I want to I get relief from putting my phone somewhere and then dread coming to it eight hours later because I know what's gonna be on there and they're just gonna be I'm gonna be behind again and my wife three years ago bought a glass case and I don't know how popular these are but it's basically addiction proof it's a glass case that locks and

you put your phones in it and you can't get back at the phones until like the it's an inconvenience every time like a hotel say it's kind of it's kind of like that but I've never used it right she? She bought it three years ago, and I have not used it one time, but there is a glass case in our house that is basically trying to wean people off of the addiction of social media. It was a good purchase by her that I've never used. How it-

That was a bad purchase. I don't understand how it's used. Like, is there a timer? Does it lock? Is it one of those like trap doors where like- What if I just wanna break the glass? What if you actually have an emergency? Yeah.

Yeah. I don't know how it works. It sounds like it's just a box with a lock. I've never used it. I can't answer any follow-up questions. I don't have any more information other than what I'm giving you, which is basically that Billy did the same thing I did,

didn't do for eight hours that my wife wanted me to do and wanted me to do daily or nightly as a way of just keeping information out of your head when you're trying to do things like sleep. It's more the people than the information I wanna keep away from me. Like I just don't wanna talk to people when I'm like on vacation.

So I go, I put it in the safe. Also glass, not good, cause then you can see like if you have a notification or whatever and then it's really more of a torture device. It's a time lock box, that's what she got you, yes. Really? Yeah. Hold on a second. Give me some more information on what it is.

I'm getting there. Billy, you have proven over time to be anti-social. You have rooted for home confinement. No, I'm not anti-social. Billy? I'm pro-social with people I want to speak to. Okay, but you don't want to speak to anybody, which would then make you anti-social. There's people I want to speak to. Okay, but you don't wanna speak to anybody, which would then make you anti-social.

There's people I wanna speak to. Well, you said you wanted home confinement. You longed for home confinement as a way of living. I like my home, what do you want me to do? And not interacting with people who are in your home, like you, or not letting people into your home to interact with them. You like to be in your home with your family

and don't want anyone else in there. Oh, if that makes me a bad guy, I don't know what to tell you. It doesn't make you a bad guy, it just makes you an anti-social guy. It does not make you. I'm social? With the people that I wanna be social with. Billy, Billy, you've told me that you don't interact

with your neighbors. I do, Nanan Pepe, 90 and 87. Little head nod. I talk to them as, you know, I try to get in all my conversations now because you never know when She might be the last unfortunately I Have other neighbors, but I like Nana and Pepe the other ones wet my dog with their hose

So we don't need to get into it It's a whole thing the and I think the other one if we're gonna be honest and probably not for air I think the other one is throwing tree trimmings into my backyard But that's not something that can be proven yet. And when I tried to set up a camera, I didn't have my drill because I lent it to my dad. So that neighbor got off easy that day because we were about to have a camera situation set up and ready to go to catch them red handed.

Now, what I do with the footage when I catch them throwing the tree clippings into my yard, I haven't figured out yet. But I'm positive that it is happening. I do not have those trees. There's no way they're falling into my yard in that area. I think that they saw a vulnerable spot in my yard and they realized that they could throw tree trimmings

there and I've let it go on for yay long, but no longer. And I've had to tell my wife, you're not to talk to that neighbor because I know that that will be the end of the tree trimmings going into my yard, but it will also be the end to whatever relationship I have with that neighbor, which is not good to begin with.

Guys, I want to talk to you about something that I don't think we think about enough on a daily basis. And that's comfort, specifically when it comes to underwear. Because let's be real, when it's not right, you're gonna feel it all day. And that's why I wanna tell all of you about Tommy John. Because the first time I put on a pair, I knew my underwear drawer

would just simply never be the same. Tommy John just recently sent some of their product to those of us in the shipping container. And this is my first time wearing Tommy John underwear. I was really blown away by the comfort, by the stretch that was available within the design, by the texture. There's a genuine comfort, and I can tell that they put in effort to make sure, specifically in our case with men, that we would feel comfortable.

Honestly, Tommy John's changed the game for me. I know it's going to be a good day now when I walk out the door and I've got Tommy John on. No distractions, no adjusting, just all day confidence. If you haven't tried Tommy John yet, I personally think you're missing out. These are the MVP of your underwear drawer with up to four times more stretch than other brands, something I definitely appreciate. Double down on comfort with Tommy John and get 25% off your first

I love you, Duke. This is the Don LeBattar Show with the Stugats. Music So you place your phone This is the Don LeBattar Show with the StuGuts. So you place your phone in the box and you can set the timer to 30 minutes or 30 days. Imagine setting the timer to 30 days. And it's not just for your phone, it's anything that you could possibly be addicted to.

I would never put my gummies in there, I would never put the weed in there, I can't have access to them for 30 days. That's ridiculous. It improves focus or productivity, reduces procrastination and better time management. Dan, you should try it. You know what I was looking for? Waste of money.

Yeah, I mean, you know what I was looking for recently? You know how, I don't know if your wife has gone through this phase yet, Dan, but like my wife has told me and a lot of people tell me like, oh, you shouldn't sleep with your phone next to you. It's, you know, all of the radiation and the things that are coming out of that phone. You should get away from that and do this and that, whatever. I was looking for anti-radiation bags

that I can just put my phone in so that I could have it there. The problem with the anti-radiation bag, and by the way, if you're listening to this and you create it, this is like I'm mailing a video of this to myself and I'm not opening the envelope, and that's just proof that I invented this,

and you can't steal the idea from me. That's how copyrights work. So, if this anti-radiation bag happens, the thing that I've found is the bags that they sell, it blocks the signal, so it makes your phone useless. So it's kinda like, well, I don't want it to be useless, I need my phone in case of an emergency, I just don't want the radiation coming off of my phone.

So I need to kinda, I'm getting back in the lab to figure out how I can block the radiation but keep the signal coming so that I don't get the radiation right next to my head but I get the signal. Because I was thinking, do you guys remember when some passes first came out? When some passes first came out

that they were like the size of a brick, they used to come in like these little metallic like Ziploc bags that would block out if you weren't going through a toll or I guess if you're intending to go through a toll and not paying or you just had car full of Sun Passes, the little metallic baggie would prevent the laser from getting through and charging the Sun Pass system. So I was hoping one of those would exist for radiation. I've got a couple of different questions. Put this on the poll. I've got answers. At Labattarge Show, I don't think you have answers. At Labattarge Show, please put on the poll. I've got answers. At Levitard Show, I don't think you have answers. At Levitard Show, please put on the poll, Juju.

Do you sleep with your phone by your head, yes or no? Charging is an important question too. That could start fires now if your cable is slightly frayed, which happens with every cable. They make those cables to break, if we're gonna be honest. He has the answers. I also wanted to ask the question, the Sun Pass,

is that national? Because I assumed Sun ask the question the Sun Pass is that national because I assumed Sun Passes were called Sun Passes because it was a Florida thing Sun are they called they Sun Passes may have their equivalent in other states but are they called Sun Passes in every state? Do people know what Sun Passes are is that just Florida? They're just toll passes they're just different names in different areas but they're toll passes. Yeah there's a easy pass and sometimes the Sun Pass works in other states that have a partnership with it. But is it called a Sun Pass because it's because the Sun Pass is in Florida?

I think so. The sun's everywhere. I understand the sun's everywhere. I got answers for you. In South Carolina, it's called the Palmetto Pass. There you go. Give me all the different names if you don't mind. There's some of those by the way. I just had to buy a new sun pass because my car got totaled and I had the sticker on it, right? So I had to take the sticker off of the sun pass, but once you take off the sticker, you can't move the sun pass from place to place.

So I decided just in case another car gets totaled, I'm gonna buy the little transponder. Slightly pricier, but more convenient if your car gets totaled or if you have a rental or whatever, you can just boop, boop, take it off, put it here, put it there, and those transponders that are not the stickers, they work in various states. There's a little map that shows you

all the states they work in. I checked Idaho, they don't have toll roads. Really? Wow. Wow. Sunpass Mini works in Florida, Georgia, Kansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Texas. The Sunpass Pro, which is portable,

works in EZPass states. There's a partnership between them. Delaware, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, and West Virginia. And Idaho, where you don't need one at all. Are we sure that Stugats's information is right,

that Idaho doesn't have tolls? It's right, yep. In Kansas, they call it the K-Tag. I like that, the K-Tag? Yeah. You gotta be, it's a little tricky with the one you can move around because it's got the suction cups on the glass,

so if your glass isn't totally clean, sometimes it'll fall off, it's tricky. K-Tag, toll tag, easy tag, express toll, TX tag for Texas, Pike Pass also. Ooh, I like that, a Pike Pass. Idaho does not have toll roads according to DMV. Thank you. Can you please find out the reason for that?

Put it on the poll at Labattar. It's Idaho. Did you know that Idaho did not have tolls? Sugata nailed it. It's Idaho. Thank you. That's all the information we need on that. I was confused by recent information

I got where Mike Ryan is texting me that Stan is in town and all of a sudden I start reaching out to Stan Van Gundy saying, hey, do you wanna go to lunch? And then I realized that Mike was just staying, the Stanley Cup is in town and Chris Cody was informing me. Stan must have been confused. He was confused, I was confused.

That wouldn't be my top topic on the board. Stan is in town, I thought, was Stan Van Gundy is here, and it is not. It's that the Stanley Cup trophy has arrived in South Florida, and we were wondering how it flew, because the Stanley Cup needs to have its own seat in first class, does it not? If you're not gonna put it next to the pilot Stanley Cup needs to have its own seat in first class, does it not?

If you're not gonna put it next to the pilot as the co-pilot, then it has to fly first class, but it would appear. Like out of the box, like the cup in the chair buckled in. Can't have it as a co-pilot, need those two pilots talking after the rehearsal. Can't risk it. I disagree.

I will say that no, and this is sensitive at the moment, given what's happened in India, but I would say if no and this is sensitive at the moment given what's happened in India But I would say if the Stanley Cup is on your plane I'm feeling pretty safe that that that plane is only if it's on 11 a and you gotta put the cup on 11 a Also two white old pilots. That's what I like right pilots hate that show right like that's every plane now Like everyone's like kind of looking like this you like they're friendly with each other What do you think's going on there? Feel so safe when I see white guys. Woo!

All I'm saying is that I know this Four Lauderdale Airport, like the back of my hand, and that looks like the normal baggage pickup. And it's just like, I would expect that to fly private, to be like the way you see celebrities coming off private jets, that's what I would imagine the cup to be doing. I'm reading now it is checked in like regular baggage.

That's crazy. You can just go take anything from baggage claim if you wanted to. Thank you, Billy. Talk about the worst security in the world. Everywhere else in the airport, you gotta go through all these bells and whistles, but you get the baggage claim?

No, take any bag you want. What happens if that guy has to go to the bathroom and fill whatever his name is, has to go to the bathroom all of a sudden, and then someone says, you know what, that looks like my case where I carry my own Stanley Cup replica. And then whoopsie daisy, they take the actual Stanley Cup

and only the replica remains. Or Phil opens it up and boom, there's a bassoon in there. Put it on the poll please at LeBretard Show. If the Stanley Cup were in a trunk at baggage claim, would you be tempted to steal it? If no one was watching? You can't label it properly, right? I've seen enough heist movies that I know when you are moving precious cargo,

the real one that's valuable is in like a satchel, right? And the replica that they want you like, the decoy is the one that travels in like the case the Stanley Cup honestly is Probably being moved around in a Jansport if we're gonna be honest. I Am convinced that post I have answers post 50 years old that Stugats is only Interested in the area 50 years ago where he can get his phrase the old bait and switch out there. O-L apostrophe. That and the switcheroo are all he's going for.

Izzy mentioned 11A, Stugatz is a seat. Do you have any idea what he's referencing there? Because this is a fairly amazing story. When they mention seat 11A, do you know what they're talking about? No idea. Okay, this is the second time this has now happened with a seat that is 11A, do you know what they're talking about? No idea. Okay, this is the second time this has now happened with a seat that is 11A.

The plane that went down in India had only one survivor, and I don't know how that person survived. It doesn't make any sense to me how that person survived when everyone else dies. Like, I don't understand the math of it. I don't understand the physics of it. I don't understand how there can only be one survivor, but twice this has now happened with plane crashes,

where the person in 11A, and I think it was either, it was the previous time that this happened, that story involved someone changing seats before the flight to get into seat 11A to survive a flight. I saw the person interviewed, the person was interviewed in English, and the face was busted up, but looked otherwise fine. Like, didn't...

What is... He got up, he walked away from the airplane crash. The things that I've read about that previous to this plane crash is where you wanna sit based on any sort of models on crashes is not too far up near the cockpit or first class area. You wanna be in the area in front of the wing, but not too far up near the cockpit of the plane.

That's exactly where 11A was. The first couple of rows past first class is what. So put it on the poll at LeBittard Show. Are you now more inclined to want to sit in seat 11A on an airplane? On every flight. If I'm an airline, I'm raising the prices just for 11A. Make that a second first class,

make it higher than first class. I feel like you just- Make it a throne. You have to bid on it. Surf prime rib at just 11A. I think if you pay for 12A, and then if shit hits the fan, you just kinda like push your, like, hey.

And you have to take a physical to make sure you're in decent shape, right? Because you don't want to be weakling and then all of a sudden you just die because the plane shook a little bit. Scoot over 11A, I'm squeezing in. Chris, are you alleging that the cup does indeed fly the equivalent of Coach?

Because they just throw it in there with all your grandma's clothing. I'm telling you that I've picked up my bag from that exact conveyor belt. Yeah. And that looks like the standard pick up your luggage at Fort Lauderdale. And I just can't believe, Ethan was out here

being like, it's a photo op, it flew private and then they brought it over to this thing. I'm like, why would you do that? You guys need to stop listening to Ethan putting him on microphones or repeating anything he says on the air. So what's wrong with Ethan? He's got good hockey information.

I mean, Dan's trying to be helpful though. So am I to believe that next year, because if the Panthers win, well actually, hold on a second, Dan, your wish of the Panthers losing on purpose might present a great opportunity. We could just, we could steal the Stanley Cup. Like if we know that it just flies regular All we need to do is check the flights that are headed into Edmonton if the Panthers lose tonight I just hang out in baggage claim figure out where Phil's traveling from it's from Fort Lauderdale more likely than not right just because Of proximity to the stadium and then just look at all of the flights that are leaving from the Fort Lauderdale area that are headed towards

Edmonton and you could time it out and just wait at all of the flights that are leaving from the Fort Lauderdale area that are headed towards Edmonton, and you could time it out and just wait in baggage claim in Edmonton and steal the Stanley Cup. It looked different than all the other bags. You wanna bring a box of your own so you can deny, oh, I thought that was right. Put a couple stickers on it.

The old switcherooist, you got set. Yeah, you go into the, I wouldn't say that I know what you do, but you go in with your replica case, fill it with a bunch of bricks or whatever. This is, we're gonna need a crew. This is probably at least a two man job, because you need someone that's distracting Phil

to delay his arrival towards baggage claims, where you make the old switcheroo. Now I'll tell you that Phil, the keeper of the cup, does work with the airlines to ensure that it gets to his hands and his hands only. That is sitting on like a luggage corral that I'm seeing right there. That photo has it just sitting there

out in the open for the taking, upside down even. Billy, I just question whether the satisfaction would be the same if we stole it instead of won it. What do you mean? Like if we just steal the cup and we're on the run with it. Cup's a cup. Oh no, there's a black market for the Stanley Cup without a doubt.

Without a doubt, there's a black market for the Stanley Cup. You could move the cup. Yeah. Hey! Look at, but also by the way, I would like to say, I don't know what airline that was, if you see the luggage tag or whatever, but that clearly has multiple fragile stickers on it,

and it's upside down. Like they are not taking care of that bag the way that it was instructed to be taken care of. Billy. Yeah. I don't think you know how black markets work. What do you mean? You can't sell stuff that

is one of a kind. Yes you can. That is stolen. I don't think you understand how black markets work. That's exactly how they work. All the stolen stuff is on the black market. There's always a buyer. Yeah, that's how you move art pieces that are stolen. There's always a buyer on the black market. Dan's only been to white markets. Dan, you love documentaries. I will tell you, there's a documentary series that's out on Netflix now that it's about stealing the world's biggest diamond out of this, I think it's called like the Millennium Dome or something in London.

It's three episodes, it's a quick watch. They know how to get you in. And they were trying to steal the largest diamond in the world and there was a buyer waiting. I'm not gonna tell you how it ends, but there was a buyer waiting. That's how gonna tell you how it ends, but there was a buyer waiting. That's how the black market works.

There's always a buyer. I don't know how you find the buyer. I don't know how you access the black market, but if you have something that's one of one, there's someone on the black market that's willing to pay top dollar-ish for it. He really has the answers, man. Can one of you please look up for me?

When I was in Norway for the Olympics, while I was there in Oslo, someone stole the Scream painting, the famous Scream painting, and it's not something you can resell. You know, you guys know what I'm talking about when I say the- The dark web.

Look up for me, please, what happened after that was stolen and how difficult it is to sell something like that that everyone knows is stolen. You've seen the movies. It's some rich collector somewhere. He's got the piece of art in his bedroom that only like maybe five people in the world

will ever have access to. And it's just a show piece. You just can't tell anybody about it. You sign an NDA when you walk in the door. You need to have the buyers lined up before you pull off the heist because if you do it without the heist then they know that there's a desperation for you to move it and then the price goes down.

You need the buyers in advance. More than one buyer obviously is the prime situation because then you have them outbidding each other. So when you tell your friends, hey Stan is in town, they know what that means. There have been 10 to 50 high profile, that's quite the range, but the Guardian did a piece on this. 10 to 50 high profile cases of famous original pieces of work replaced by a fake because the original was stolen. In fact, it is estimated in this article

that hundreds to the low thousands aren't the actual original piece because the original piece was stolen and then replaced by a fake. Isn't that what happened in the Mr. Bean movie, right? Where Whistler's mother was stolen and they ended up replacing it just Isn't that what happened in the Mr. Bean movie, right? Where Whistler's mother was stolen and they ended up replacing it just with like a poster from the gift shop.

Spoiler alert if you haven't watched the Mr. Bean movie. But they just use a replica from the gift shop. No one knew the difference. In fact, the Uzbek State Art Museum employees sold originals and replaced them with fakes for over 15 years. Thank you. I keep seeing the Michael Cira movie

being shoved down my throat. What is it, like, does a new movie come out? The Phoenician something? You guys know a movie. Yeah, isn't that a Wes Anderson movie? Yes, Michael Cira is just knocking off Mr. Bean in that. Okay, that's- Have you seen that in the preview?

No. It's just Michael Cira playing Mr. Bean. It's Michael Cira that they're pushing down your throat. Javier Bardem is in, oh no, I'm sorry, it's Benicio del Toro in that movie. I saw, since you mentioned Billy documentaries and my love of documentaries, I've been on a scam documentary spree,

just people who are scamming stuff, and see if you can look up the title of this for me, because he went by Jace, but the name of the movie is Who the Bleep is and I've forgotten the person's name because it was Jace something and then it became a different title. But that person was such a con artist and I wonder what you do here. This is Spoiler Alert Tuesday.

Is that what this is? That's tomorrow but we'll do it early. It's fine. Oh today's Shirt Tuesday. Oh no today's not Shirt Tuesday. It's Spoiler Oh today shirt Tuesday. Oh, no today's not shirt Tuesday Okay, it's spoiler alert Tuesday. Sure you I suppose take off my shirt. Well, Jace is the name It's not it's not in the title as Jace But he went in the movie by Jace and the title of the movie is like Jack something because his name is not

actually Jace, but the thing that he did as a con man that was funny and but the thing that he did as a con man that was funny and should have been obvious to the women is when he gave the woman that he was dating as a gift, three women's watches on the same day. Watches. None of them in boxes, none of them in gift wrapping. They were simply stolen. He didn't give her one. He gave her three.

And after three years of unrelenting fraud, she confronted him having found out that he was fraud. And he just looks at her and said, Anne? Like, just a sociopath. Yeah. And she couldn't do anything. Like her life was ruined and he's just standing in the kitchen.

Checkmated her. Yeah, everything's fake and I don't care because I'm shameless. Yep, those three watches I gave you were clearly stolen because I didn't even put them in boxes and I just gave you three watches at once. You got me. It's a thought that counts.

Bad news though, who the bleep is Jack Jace prompt that I think you gave me? Not coming up. Yeah, again, Jace is not in the title. Yes, I know, but you said Jack isn't potentially in the title. You didn't give me the title, you gave me a guy, Jace. So who the bleep? I did Jack Jace, not in the title. Yes, I know, but you said Jack isn't potentially in the title, you didn't give me the title, you gave me a guy, Jace, so who the bleep,

I did Jack Jace, nothing so far. All right, I'll find it. You guys can entertain yourself. I like your chances. Yeah, go ahead and entertain yourself. Hold on, TV show? Just need a little bit more information, who is in it? Right, it's a documentary, it's not a movie,

it's a documentary that is a three episode, or it's a two episode documentary about fraud. So docu-series. Okay. It's important. Is it? Yeah. When you're searching.

Yeah, when we're trying to give you an answer for something that's on the tip of your mind and you're out here getting frustrated. All right, so. What's it on? Start with that one. So it's Who the Bleep is Jason Porter. It's a rom-con.

Rom-con is what it's called. So not Jack, Jason Porter. R-O-M-C-O-N, Who the Bleep is Jason Porter. Yeah, who the, yeah, rom-con-N Who the Bleep is Jason Porter. Yeah, who the, yeah, RomCon colon Who the Bleep is Jason Porter. Got it, okay. And so, thank you, I'm glad you guys were able to find that on the internet with all the clues that I gave you and I had to look it up and find it on my own phone instead.

I mean, come on. Who the Bleep is Jack Jase? I didn't give you enough information, I know, I had to give you you more I found it in seconds, but I had to give you more I know love that rom-con That is a good title. I like it. What do you do if someone's been a fraud in your life for three years? They're standing in your kitchen you confront them and they're like and yeah, you host a radio show with them for 20 years It's such a game subscribe to God bless football. Thank you. That's to party. Yeah It's such a gangster. And then you subscribe to God Bless Football. Thank you, Ed Stupotty.

Yeah, what's that web handle? StuTube. StuTube, yes. YouTube.com slash EdSugot790. You're good. Subribe. Subribe. You guys, he said that out loud.

That wasn't in your ear. I've never felt older. You can't tell the difference. You haven't? As if not knowing your own YouTube handled it for you. It's Taylor's show. I've never felt older. You can't tell the difference. You're having? As if not knowing your own YouTube handled it for you. It's Taylor's show. How about Jack J's?

The fraud genre in documentaries is great. And it's challenging the murder documentary. Put her on the poll at LeBataar's show. Is the fraud documentary genre challenging the murder documentary genre? Because the shamelessness of this stuff is what grabs you. I would love to see the look on my wife's face if I tried to give her three watches

that didn't have gift wrapping on them.
