The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Hour 1: The Headbutter Of The Bird Community

Episode Date: May 14, 2024

Can you solve a problem with a headbutt? Does the woodpecker peck wood? Are you familiar with the woodpecker community? What would you do if you had a hammer? Do Eastern Europeans headbutt more than average? ALL of these questions and more are answered in the first segment of Hour 1 led by Greg Cote. Then, Dan doesn't understand the enthusiasm around the NFL schedule release, but Stugotz and the Shipping Container are all the way in. They discuss what Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence have to show them this year, Aaron Rodgers opening the season in San Francisco, and whether or not Tom Brady will be any good at broadcasting.

This is the Don Lebatore Show with the StuGuts Podcast. Budcast! In the spirit of closing that loop, Billy, because I am grateful that my admonishment of you being an active and purposeful irritant who tries to destroy the show, you actually made yourself helpful there and I was confused by it. I thought your hands were in your pocket and that I would mistrust you because when you're helpful, I think there's an agenda or something that you're up to. Is this a compliment or an apology or insult? What is this exactly?

It's neither of those things. It's not an apology or a compliment, but I thank you for bringing back this subject because I don't think that we talked enough about the people in your life that you believe would problem solve with a headbutt. Because the headbutt, I have never thought, right, I would try to protect my head in a fight. I would not be aggressive with my head in a fight. I know a few people who would handle stuff this way. There is one person, I've told you the story, you're always making fun of me when

I when I quote sources from the MMA community, but I know some people down here in South Florida which has a very active MMA community, a lot of MMA business down here, that a friend of mine was one time driving behind somebody who was on a bicycle and on the back wheel and purposely weaving through traffic and ignoring that my friend was honking and trying to get around him and so eventually they got into a shouting match and my friend got out of the car went up to the cyclist who approached him head-butted him and left him in the street solved it with a head but but i

don't know many people mess with any of them i don't know many people who solve things with a head but and i'm asking you guys what do you make of someone who does because that is a person that i would not want to mess with what you're willing to go with the head but there is no line you're not willing to cross like that person is crazy yeah to me headbutting and i gouging almost seem to go together and so on with you know i i would find it difficult to be a soccer player and just had the ball i mean because it's like wow that must give you a headache right a headache. How do you do that? But actually hit somebody else's skull.

It often does. I would if I tried to avoid a header. No, Mike knows. Now, I am familiar with the woodpecker community, okay? Woodpeckers use their beak to peck wood, which in and of itself has to hurt you know so the human equivalent of the woodpecker is the head butter Yeah, you know so there is some some precedent there. Yeah What I've made my point now move a good one. Thank you. Yeah What peck of that pecks wood yeah? They use their beak to peck wood right on have arms. You know if I had a hammer

They don't have a hammer they use their beak and the head wood. They don't have arms. If I had a hammer, they don't have a hammer, they use their beak. And the headbutt is similar. The motion is similar. Correct, right. So, take my point and run with it. Bring it to the bank, invest it. Go into a bank, go up to a teller,

and say, I want to invest the idea that a woodpecker and a headbutter is a similar... People just walk in and he takes all that. First of all, you saying the phrase, I'm familiar with the woodpecker community is useless. I am. I don't believe the woodpecker suffers any pain from... We'll ask Ron McGill. He's going to be on with us.

I don't think there's any pain involved for the Woodpecker there. We have breaking news, no Ron McGill, hyena surgery. Yeah. I misread it first and thought it was hernia. Yeah. Yeah, it has to be. Wow. Get Woody on the phone.

He's familiar with the Woodpecker community, he'd be helpful. Is there another Woodpecker community. It'd be helpful Put it on the pole at LeBotard show Is the logic like if I headbutt you? I'm already sacrificing the thing that you would punch in fact I'm using this punchable thing as the weapon so there is nothing that you can do to actually hurt me It's like a nose, but or yeah, or a a mouth butt. Well there's an art to it too. Like you don't go and you don't lead in with nose. That's not what you do. I'm just saying that using the thing that you would be

trying to protect from getting hit to start the fight that it's it's no one's got there can't be a fight where anyone's expecting a headbutt. It's gotta be. In that part of the country and that that part of the world, I would expect it more. Saudi Arabia? Well, was that in Saudi? Well, I was going to say with Europeans. Right. Like Zanadine Zidane, the Jokic's. Europeans, the Jokic brothers definitely would have. Slavs, they're more likely to headbutt. This is a sweeping generalization that might be xenophobic, but I feel confident in saying this. Europeans headbutt more. They do, especially Eastern Europeans. Put it on the poll. Do Eastern Europeans headbutt more? Just leave it like that. Especially when you consider his family ties, more marauders.

Also, gypsies. Well, he is a gypsy king, but I've found that that is a disparaging word, and he can only use it in context of like, Tyson Fury calls himself this. That's correct. Would you rather come face to face with a biter or a headbutter? Whew.

Wow. Put that on the poll as well. Would you prefer to come face to face with a biter or a headbutter, and also put on the poll at LeBittard's show, do woodpeckers hurt their beaks or heads when they woodpeck? Because I don't believe that they do otherwise

I'm guessing they would stop doing it. No, that's why there's that concussion stuff. I think that necklace that you see a couple football players wearing around their neck, it's like the tech is based on woodpeckers. Well, the internet is telling me a woodpecker's brain takes a big hit with every peck against a tree, yet the animal doesn't get brain damage.

A team of scientists says the reason is the brain's very small size. No CTE for that one, huh? Bird brain. They don't have a hammer though, they have no choice. That's right, that is what Greg Cody said. Do you guys know what he was doing there? Because Greg Cody has a stream of thoughts, he thinks all his thoughts are interesting and anytime there's one in there, he just says it even if it's useless. Do you guys know what he was doing there?

Because he was doing the song from, I guess, the 1960s, If I Had a 1960s if I had a hammer. If I had a hammer. Yeah. Sing it, Greg. Trini Lopez, I believe. Yeah. If I'm not mistaken. Back that ass up.

Yeah. How about... Yeah. It's a folk song. If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning. I'd hammer in the evening. All over this land, I'd sing about justice. I'd sing in the evening all over this land. I'd sing about justice.

I'd sing about freedom. I may have mixed that up. It might be freedom and then justice. But it starts off if I had a hammer and then it turns into like a folk song. Woodpeckers prevent brain damage in a fascinating way. Their tongues wrap around their jugular veins to increase blood flow to the brain. That's what those necklaces do. They increase blood flow. How brain. That's what those necklaces do. They increase blood flow. That's fascinating.

The woodpecker's biology functions much like bubble wrap to protect and insulate the brain from damage. Trini Lope is also not Trina, who also is not juvenile, who sings back that answer. Lots of confusion. What year was that song? And again, why did you insert that in the middle of what it is you were talking about as if anyone should understand it? It was 1962. There you go.

Good year. Greg Cody, seven going on eight. Prime of my life. You've made LeBron 40 prime of his life and you're seven or eight prime. That was the beginning of my prime when I was seven. Early bloomer. You're still in it. Thank you.

Howdy folks, it's Mike Ryan and as you know, you're probably a sports fan, you know it's playoff time and you probably have a team team you want to root on and maybe you're like me and you're not a season ticket holder so you miss the first crack at getting tickets so what do you do?

Ron, I can't walk around my house naked because I fear that the cat would be traumatized. Stugats. Like if your cat or dog suddenly saw you nude walking around your house, how would they react to that? Probably wondering why I don't have spines at the end of my penis. Yeah, like a cat. This is the Don Lebatard Show with the Stugats. This is the Dunn-Levatar Show with the Stugats. Perhaps Billy and Stugats can explain something to me because I'm at a bit of a loss.

I don't understand the general enthusiasm around the NFL schedule coming out. Oh man. Oh man. It's a real baffling to me how interested people are in this and I've also got a place where I believe that Billy and Stugats might be most at odds on football analysis because Stugats says Joe Burrow is the best quarterback in football. I think he made him better than Patrick Mahomes.

And- Well, I made Alex Smith better than Patrick Mahomes. But I think you have said that Joe Burrow is the best quarterback in football, and I don't think Billy not only doesn't agree with you, I think Billy thinks that- He's gotta prove something to me this year. Wow!

I'll say it. Say it? Yeah, I said it. He's gotta prove something to me this year. I'll say it say it. Yeah, I said it He's gotta prove something this year. Mm-hmm. Stay healthy. Yep. Take him over the hump. How about the schedule though? Oh, yeah I don't know what Dan's talking about when he says he doesn't get excited. I feel bad for you. Honestly, right I'll I mean Yeah, the Chiefs opening two weeks Ravens and Bengals I mean if burrow wants to prove something to Billy he could do it early by beating Patrick Mahomes opening night Chiefs opening two weeks, Ravens and Bengals. I mean, if Burrow wants to prove something to Billy, he could do it early by beating Patrick Mahomes. Opening night.

Yeah. That is. Me too. That does get me excited. It does. Just knowing exactly, I can build myself up to this one Monday night. Play win loss.

Now I have a Monday night game to open the season. It's Jets at Niners. I hate a Monday night to open the season. I have to wait around all weekend. Week one, we don't want it. You don't want it. But the good news in that is that Aaron Rogers will be playing on grass.

Exactly right, on the road. So he'll probably get a game in. How about the news that we're getting a Friday in Rio to open up the season after opening night? We have games, NBC just picked up a game, according to Adam Schefter, I believe, that is going against the college football playoffs. Wow.

Now it's an expanded playoff this year, so it's the first week. I don't like that. What? I don't like that. It's the NFL flexing. I don't like that. The NFL does whatever it wants.

I do think schedule day's more interesting than it used to be in the NFL because of international games. Now there are like three or four a year and because of three Christmas games this year. That'll be interesting to see how those shake up. This is exciting, Dan. This is a big day.

I mean, and today's not even, schedule releases tomorrow. Just leaking out right now. The reason you like it is because you wanna see where your team fits in the hierarchy of the league. How many primetime games do I have? How many do the Jets have? I wanna know where I am, cause that's how, the league just puts,

they basically just say, if you have 10 prime time games, you're a good team. If you have one, you're terrible. I'll tell you one story line I was looking for, Chris, and that was, where's Tom Brady going to pretend to be calling his first game? We found out yesterday. What's he got?

It's gonna be Cleveland. Oh wow. That he doesn't actually show up to play, to to call because he might actually be playing in the game It Browns versus who cowboys, you know But he's just wading into the waters with it, you know Just a classic Deshaun Watson game already like challenging himself. How's he gonna handle that one? How does this do nothing for you? I don't understand I mean sure you could argue and say you already knew if you're who you're gonna be playing on the home and like challenging himself. How's he gonna handle that one? How does this do nothing for you? I don't understand.

I mean, sure, you could argue and say, you already knew who you're gonna be playing on the home and who you're gonna be playing on the road, but now you know when you're gonna be playing them home and road, because it matters. Because then you know, is it gonna be cold? Is it gonna be hot? Do I get them early?

Do I get them before they start clicking? Steelers, you wanna play early. We talked about this last week on GBF. You get the Steelers, which the Jets do. You want them early in the season before things start clicking in the Steel City because you know that that's bound to happen. Because Tomlin always gets his team ready,

but it always takes a little bit of time to get them there. Here's another one, Dan. This one's for free. Trevor Lawrence needs a big year. Needs a big year. You have had a stronger opinion than that. Needs a big year. On Trevor Lawrence? Oh, I that. Needs a big year. I'm Trevor Lawrence. Oh, I think I said before that this may be his last year

in the league. Is that what you're referring to? That's stronger than needs a big year. Yeah, could be his last year in the league. What does Joe Burrow exactly have to show you? Anything, really. I mean, just been a lot of huff and puff from him. He beat the Chiefs.

He's been the only one. No. Him and Tom Brady have been like the only ones to beat them. In Billy's defense, he is the highest paid quarterback in the NFL this season, a 55 million. And Jared Goff is second. Great, that's crazy. That's crazy.

We are not prepared for the amount of money Jared Goff is gonna be making in throughout his career when it's all set and done. Well, you say it's crazy, but hasn't he already been the highest paid quarterback in the sport once? Didn't Jared Goff already have that distinction? For the Lions to take the next step,

you need to not pay Jared Goff $53 million or whatever it is. He's making more than Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes this season. He's making more than everybody but Joe Burrow, and that's what happens when the latest quarterback signs. It's why now people think Tua's gonna get 50 million because I mean, Carson Wentz was the highest paid quarterback in football at

one point. The guy who comes up that year, that's how that one works, but I want to circle back around to what it is Mike said about Tom Brady. Didn't he say in his first press conference about being an announcer, didn't he throw out there that Jack Prescott has to show him something? Yeah. Oh man. Oh man. So that we got another storyline there. Maybe he's actually going to be gunning for his job there. Although it's a little complicated because he is a part owner in the Raiders and I think he has to divest. Basically, look, I think he's coming back and I think he's coming back to the

Raiders. I already put my future in for the Raiders to make the playoffs. Really? Yeah. When do you have him coming back though? Before the season starts? One injury. I think he's put it out there and I'm fascinated with the looming prospect that Tom Brady's actually saying things now. He avoided it entirely last year.

He sent that selfie video from the sand and he stayed quiet and he enjoyed a year off. But he started putting out the tea leaves and the crumbs out there signaling to teams like maybe not at the start of the year I don't really have much interest in training camp. But if you got an injury, I'm open for business But they have depth they have Gardner Mint you and aid in O'Connell need two injuries Let me read you guys the quote here from Tom Brady because if he's willing to say stuff which he's never been willing to do this can be more interesting but he says he has a media company now I mean he's incentivized to say something anything well he's and what can Tom Brady say that would make news it's not just a

media company he's being paid 375 million dollars guaranteed a lot more than he made in his career, to say stuff. I know, I mean plus he's also in the process of building his own media company, much the way Pat McAfee and the Mannings have done. Stupid. Why don't you just take $375 million work one day a week and retire?

Call games, yeah. Yeah, so easy, why do you need the stress of this? Not that easy, Dan, you tell him. Not that easy to just start a media company. Why does he need this stress in his life? It would be much better to just be able to go to one football game a week for 17 weeks. Just tell us what you see, man.

Than having to go and create an entire company. He strikes me as a classic crammer also, right? I mean, obviously if everyone tells us, oh, he studies so hard, he does all this and that, he's gonna cram. You don't think he's classic crammer also, right? I mean, obviously if everyone else goes, oh, he studies so hard, he does all this and that, he's gonna cram. You don't think he's gonna cram? I have found that basically every athlete who's great tries to be great at this stuff.

Like there is not, well, I shouldn't say every athlete who's great, because there are some that aren't trying that hard. But the ones who you think are obsessive compulsive about being great, Dwayne Wade or whatever, they go into these fields or these other things after retirement and they are very coachable about wanting to be coached, like about going around asking questions as if they don't know anything, wanting to learn.

And I imagine Tom Brady doesn't want to embarrass himself. So he does say though, and I ask you guys, is this anything or is it just something because Tom Brady's saying it? I know the Cowboys, how important they are to this network. They've got great storylines. Come on, Dak Prescott. Let's see if he can finally come through.

And then he heard the buzz and he just said, did that just slip out? Yeah. Oops. Well, he might have just had his lips done, you don't know. Classic Tom. Did that just slip out?

He could be talking about a tooth. That is something, that is something because Tom Brady is saying it. It's something that everyone would say, but because Tom Brady is saying it's something that everyone would say but because Tom Brady is saying it and where The bar is below the floor on he's not gonna say anything interesting When he says will Dak come through did that just slip out as if it's a horrible mistake He made because he spent 20 years not saying anything a very benign

Comment in the criticism category, in the controversy category. Unless you're Dak. I'm already dreading the Greg Olson hipsters. I love Greg Olson. I think he's fantastic. Go Canes. I will miss him on the main broadcast in specific moments, but the novelty of Tom Brady, the greatest ever to do it, hopping in the booth and talking about what is unfolding in front of his eyes with his perspective of knowing certifiably, is this the greatest player

to ever call a sport ever? Like Wayne Gretzky, he's a part of, he's a studio analyst. But in terms of like- Well Michael Jordan hasn't called the game, so yes. This is not, this is a pretty cool novelty, such that it is, it's it's awesome At least for one week we get to hear the greatest By four to ever do it talk about this and then we're gonna look at the schedule and see when is he talking about the Chiefs?

When is it when is Tom Brady gonna be scheduled against a Kansas City game? I think that's another reason to look forward to the schedule Give me whoever it is that you guys regard as second place on what Mike Ryan is talking about because I'm not talking about Charles Barkley or studio hosts. I'm talking about a greatest ever who is willing 17 weeks a year to fly into Cleveland for a weekend to call a football game. There's a reason they're paying him the way that they're paying him. He has destroyed what is the salary market

for this without having done it. And the reason is because they have to pay in order to incentivize the Michael Jordan of their sport to not be an ownership, but just come over here and talk about it. Be a partner with us on selling this. Be someone who hands the sport over to the young people by being a voice that people recognize the premium price on that is because he is somebody whose time is that valuable are you saying within football or just

within I'm saying in the history of sports I'm not Hamilton one of the things that's a good one. I mean, Aikman's up there. Aikman. John McEnroe. Dude. McEnroe's good. McEnroe's good, but this is bar none the greatest ever do it and I'm not even talking like, studio is a different thing. You get the live play-to-play thoughts of the greatest ever to do something as he's watching games just like you. This is amazing. Yes. I can understand having your doubts about it,

but can we experience this first? I wanna see his first Mahomes game. It's amazing if he's any good at broadcasting. It's amazing if he says things that are interesting, dare say more interesting than his veiled criticism of Dak Prescott. You know, because he's Tom Brady, the great all-time quarterback, doesn't mean he's going to be good in his new job.

But even if he's not good, even that has a level of interest. Him dealing with the adversity of his confidence on the field doesn't apply to the booth. What is he going to do week to week to get better? Or is he just going to call it? Is he going to do the Jason Winton thing and just be like, I tried it for one year at the peak of the profession and I'm not cut out for this. Because a lot of people do, you mentioned Dwayne Wade. I mean, I understand ownership got in the way,

but a lot of guys get into this new media content game and they get frustrated inside of two years because they're not as in control as they were when they were playing. Way back when Dan Marino, you may recall, was broadcasting and didn't prove particularly good at it and so he slowly faded but he would have been one of those all-time graced at the a b a rob

he called baseball games yep yes a rod would be one of the marino wasn't calling games he was doing a studio show that's different uh... i will say because you may have noticed this at the s p n maybe you didn't in whatever the transition is the difficulty of the transition for the greatest to find something else they're interested in yes p n always had a hard time getting the top top tier of athlete fame to go fly into bristol to do stuff so the guys they would get who were that kind of great emmett smith jerry rice scotty pippen they were all terrible broadcasters like all three

of them were really bad at broadcasting uninteresting but their level of fame made itself here's a primary voice you can speak on behalf of your sport it doesn't even matter if you're any good but what mike is saying is true that guys never in a booth with wires around his head on the night off the cuff on a on a Sunday just calling games because Michael Jordan went from what he was doing to know I want maximum power and so they end up paying Tom Brady all of the Money to do that, but I still ask you guys, I'm the only one here

among us who just doesn't care about the schedule stuff like I don't care which game Brady is doing first I care and I care that he's going to do it and I will be listening to his first game but it doesn't matter to me who's who he's calling. Oh it matters to me. When is he gonna do do an Aaron Rodgers game? Is he going to do an Aaron Rodgers game? Is he going to be scheduled against the New England Patriots? Who knows? This is all very interesting to me. I'm because I'm a sports fan. I like getting excited about something I'm going to get excited about. That's unfair what you just said. So what Mike is saying is you're not a sports fan. Because I don't care about the schedule. I'm not a schedule fan.

Schedule equals games. Just think about how happy... But I know the games are going to be played! It's a bridge, Dan. So Sundays, I got my spot on the couch. It's a sacred thing that we go through in this country. We all look forward to our football Sundays. And I like seeing the schedule to come out...

Oh, that second Sunday in November is going to be a good one. I like that stuff. It was always Jets and Browns. Remember, we second Sunday in November is going to be a good one. I like that stuff. It was always Jetson Browns. Remember we had like a five year run. This is incredible. What a matchup for week one. The Browns never get the four o'clock Fox window against the Cowboys. That's a rare matchup. I think Brady's getting it. Yeah, but this is, I mean, you weren't excited to find out that that's going to be your first Sunday afternoon. I told you. America's game of the week. You're not excited yet. I that that's gonna be your first Sunday afternoon? I told you! America's Game of the Week? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

You not excited yet? I am not. Your enthusiasm confuses me about it. It just confuses me. Eagles versus Packers in Brazil. Neither team can wear green. Yeah! Thank you, Billy. What? It's big!

Because it's a rival. Yeah, it's banned from the stadium. It's banned from the stadium. Yeah. How about that? I don't know if you're familiar with these teams, but what are they going to do in them uniform alternate black uniforms, road whites, watch out for the pack this year. Everything in the NFL is over covered. You got to realize that schedule day is big because

everything is big rookie mini camp was covered. Like it's wonderful, heavy news. I don't care about rookie mini camp personally, but people do and NFL fans do care about the schedule as well. Yeah, I must be alone on this. Can we see the uniforms with the bubble wrap helmet? Yeah. I just want to know what my eyes have to get adjusted to. Again though, I will just tell you guys that none of this will be shot. When they're announced, none of these things that you want will be known none of these they will all be

known no you don't know you don't know what the helmets are gonna be you don't know what Tom Brady's gonna sound like you don't know who's good you don't know who's gonna win you don't know what injuries they're gonna be so I'm a pig-headed man I know everything you're talking about you don't anything. I'll see that and I'll say 10 wins. There it is. That's what you do. Sound the trumpets. It's horse racing time.

It is a beauty. F*** me. Sorry. This is the Don LeBattar Show with the Stugats! Libertar Show with the StuGuardz. I have two items of film news for you guys, but Mike Ryan is insistent on giving us some

breaking schedule news. Evidently, there's some breaking NFL schedule news. Yeah, and it's big with a local audience here in South Florida. Wow. Both the big football teams involved. First off, game time for Florida. Miami has been announced. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, 330.

You say that's as big a University of Miami football game for the entire program as there's been in how long because now the program is all in on football because football has to be great because basketball did not capitalize on the momentum of making a couple of elite eights and the basketball programs are a little more broken than they used to be. Dan you know when it comes to Miami Athletics I'm about as rational as one can get. Yeah. But I'm also a student of history and I know what it sounds like

when I say these words. This is the most important football game in the history of the football program. No pressure. I feel bamboozled. I thought we were talking NFL. When you consider the investment, we can have that conversation another day. Here's the real big news. This is college schedule. Yeah, but here's a real big news. Adam Schefter just shared the tweet. Oh, I like that name. This is the big news. Amazon Prime just announced the first prime football game of the season, week two.

Bills Dolphins. Wow. Where? Where? Where? I can't tell from the graphic. Oh. Well, Buffalo's above Miami in the graphic,

which leads me to believe that Miami's the home team Unless you're in europe, you're right Yeah, what happened? He just took the deepest breath i've ever heard and you were away from the mic He's two feet away from the mic Greg what's going on with you today? Because in soccer the first team is the home team. You're right No one ever comments about my breathing until I come into the studio here. Probably because there's a microphone in front of you.

I mean, a man's gonna live. What are your initial thoughts? Week two, Thursday night, TBD location. It's in Miami. I've just gotten a breaking news. Wow. Look at you. Went to the schedule, huh?

Cause he showed up second. I wanted to delight you guys. I wanted to tickle you a little bit. And you did. Now you get him on a Thursday night so the heat doesn't come into play, the sun... Yeah, but you know where my mind starts going when I see that little nugget?

I'm like, okay, so if that game's at home week too, what is the NFL gonna do to the Dolphins come December? December in Buffalo. That's what I'm saying. Wow. It's a lose-lose. This is why the schedule is exciting. Terrible, terrible.

You lose the heat and now you have to go to Buffalo at the end of the season. Bad omen. Oh yeah, that's tough to play Buffalo that early on a short week. Just like Billy said, your advantage in September is the hot sun. And now that's gone too because it's at night. Early winners and losers of the schedule release league, Dolphins are the losers right now. Guys, it historically flip-flops. like one year they play early in the season Usually count on that but not always mm-hmm there is very little chance that chub and Phillips will be ready that is done I'm done with schedule talk. I've got breaking- You liked it though, admit it.

I did not. That's a great Thursday nighter at the gates. It's good content. Now in 21, they played Buffalo at home, the Dolphins did early in the season. I believe they did in 2022 as well. Chris, so you're wrong. See, what I told you is he can't always count on it.

Every two years. Early season measuring stick game. Who's who, if you will. Okay. Week two. And I know without the schedule coming out that they play twice a year. Please leave me alone on this. But where and when? That's where we find out. Remember what happened the last time Buffalo played a day game in

Miami? Like there were 12 IV bags. Kent Dorsey threw something at the camera. They forgot how time works. The whole thing whole thing. That's making people crazy. Exactly. Then he got fired. That was the next season, but still, good point, Roy. The heat is important when you talk about the fact that later this week in Miami, it's going to be 98, 99 degrees in the middle of May.

We've had a blissful April, just charming. I couldn't believe how nice the weather was, but the end of this week brings horror of weather because it's going to be close to a hundred and then we head into the hot stuff. So it is possible with climate change that wherever it is you put the Buffalo game against Miami, Buffalo will melt because our city is melting. 18 days till hurricane season I believe. I got my pack in the mail yesterday.

Exciting time! Why was it such a blissful spring down here? It was very mild. Was it the El Nino? The earth's up to something. Well, I can't call it the El Nino, because that's basically saying the the Nino. Right. Redundant.

Yeah. I have two breaking bits of film news are you ready because the second one's going to get you guys very excited that i don't think this that don't think you guys know the second you may know the first one uh... but uh... the story of uh... and aging and down on his luck private investigator in nineteen thirties new york was forced to grapple with his past life is the city's one and only superhero Noir is coming to MGM Plus and prime video starring

Nicholas Cage Which one's a MGM Plus I did not have this one on my docket. There's an MGM Plus. I gotta get MGM Plus now Yeah, I don't have MGM Plus. I've never heard of Gonna be paying 1399 a month for it in like two weeks. It's existed since 2008. Oh, it used to be known as Epics. Is that what, okay.

The other bit of news that I do not think you guys know, Roadhouse 2 is in the works. Ooh. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Gyllenhaal? I think it's like a J sound. You guys correct me on that every time. Gyllenhaal.

It's a tough one. It's like a medicine. You guys liked. Loved. Loved. Put it on the poll at LeBotard Show, is Gyllenhaal a medicine with many side effects? Yeah.

I really liked the first Roadhouse. I thought it was a great popcorn movie. Thought Conor McGregor did a great job. Who would have thunk he could just really test his acting limits the way that he did. Good action, a little too much CGI for my liking, but you know, nice little nods to the keys. I'm excited about this.

Was it necessary? I mean, the first one was so good. It was perfection. Neither one of them are necessary. Which one are you talking about, the Gyllenhaal one or the Swayze one? The Swayze one, of course. I mean, they were both good.

This one was good, man. It became popular to hate on it. It was, Dan, you watched it, right? Now you can have your issues with it, but you were not having fun at any point while watching it, were you? I watched the first 70 minutes and thought it was terrible and then circled back around after you guys yelled at me.

And at the end of the movie, it was more laughably ridiculous. And if you're tuning in for just sheer absurdity at every turn, then I suppose I can understand how it is that you would watch this. I will not watch the second one. I'm surprised that Gyllenhaal has signed up for another one of these. I was surprised that he signed up for the first, but he clearly did it to get in shape

and as homage to the first one, whatever it meant to him in his childhood. I can't believe he's doing a second one. This is one of the actors in Hollywood. I don't know who you guys choose here, but Ethan Hawke for me or Ewan McGregor. There are a handful of actors that I trust their choices and Gyllenhaal is somebody who generally makes good choices and here he's just entertaining himself. Well he's afforded that. I mean because he makes all the other great art house pictures and stuff like that He's a very talented actor. But also look at that physique. You can't be hiding that by in a t-shirt

So wait, we have that puppy. Do we have him taking that role to get in shape? Like that's that's how famous people do it Have a trainer. No one can't no no you can't you need them? No, you need to take a role to do something. Did you see what Jason Bateman looked like recently? He was sitting next to Michael J. Fox. Everyone was shocking like oh, what's he doing? He's just training for a role, but that's a blanket statement. You're saying all actors do that They'll take a role to get in shape. Some actors will just get why just get a trainer Well, I can have the studio pay for my trainer. That is true. I had JK She didn't send so you're saying Jason Bateman just wanted to look like a wolf

So he took a role where he could do that. That was actually cool. I didn't even catch the Teen Wolf aspect of him being in the same frame as Michael J. Fox. Good on you. I know that that was your intention there. For sure. No, but actors generally let their facial hair and hair grow because they want to be ready

for whatever Hollywood throws at them. I wish someone would pay me to look like shit. Or to look good. I feel like we are I am I want to accuse levitard of oddball behavior Who invests 70 minutes in a movie and then decide you know what I don't like this enough I'm gonna stop watching it's like reading 150 pages of a novel and then quitting on the book. Totally fair Yeah, once you get to 70 minutes, you're in

Oh, I've bailed on books bailed on books after a hundred pages the Wickersham one. Are you kidding me? I saw the time left on this. I'm like, I'm not doing that. You're not reading books though I mean, yes, I am there are audiobooks. I'm reading audiobooks We're not we're not having this conversation again, but I bailed on that You don't want to have that conversation because you're self-conscious, you know, I'm right What are you talking about? You just put a book down and get you put it back on the shelf and you're like, oh, I bet you you have dozens of books in your bookshelf that you put a bookmarker in saying you'll get back to that

you just never got around to. That's false. I investigate a book before I invest in it. Roy, can you please look up for us because we had this poll question recently where we for us because we had this poll question recently where we asked people do you ever bail on a movie if you're halfway through it or are you the type of person that has to finish it I am NOT I think I came out in the minority I am NOT a person who has to finish stuff I rarely get into 70 minutes of a movie that bad is the original Roadhouse but I tried to stay with it for the idea of it might produce some things that we could talk about here that would be funny that our audience would be interested in. You ended up liking it didn't you? I mean no no. I don't typically do that usually I start

a movie and no matter what I'll finish it so I can have a full opinion on the picture. This happened to me recently with that Bob Marley biopic I don't think I'm going back it was just straight up bad. How can you screw that up? Mike, I find it hard to believe that the Marley pick is worse than Roadhouse. That has to be about your expectations. Oh yeah, no. If Marley started fighting, that would save it. No, the Marley pick was bad. I actually saw it. I bailed inside of 30 minutes. The Roadhouse remake was bad as well.

No, it's bad if you're going for like an award or something. It had a mission. Let's have two ripped dudes just go to town on another, let's fight each other in the Keys and you know they did that. Put it on the poll please. Was the Roadhouse remake bad? I have seen that Gyllenhaal's workout regimen for this is something that Men's Fitness and others have grabbed because it was a very rigorous workout regimen. And I would say, Billy, that the blessing in something like this is to have both the goal

of being super ripped off a cross from Conor McGregor in a movie and also have the studio pay for you to get into monster shape that can be on the cover of muscle magazines that is a reason to enjoy eight months of making a silly cotton candy movie and getting you know a six-pack okay yeah I'm not impressed though I mean you want to get in shape get in shape on your own yeah it's cheating really no and he probably did steroids what they did all sorts of stuff his hair really isn't that dark what
