Going to bring in Juju Gadi here in a moment to talk about an assortment of stuff, but I saw a sweep over Tony's face this morning and he can, he can wrap a lot of things in bravado in
Starting point is 00:01:26 confidence that may or may not be real so over the course of this week he has seemed very confident about what he's about to do in Vegas even though one of the things he's about to do in Vegas is fight with someone who is a professional fighter which seems stupid and I saw this morning on his face oh it's registering he realizes now that he's walking into something this weekend that's slightly more dangerous than he thinks it is because he heard sparring and thinks he knows the guy he's fighting well enough to know how he defines sparring so as this has been building up shout out to my shout out
Starting point is 00:02:01 to my boy Justin who's setting up everything over at extreme couture one of the best MMA gyms on the planet. Home of Francis Ngannou, world champions Aljamain Sterling, Sean Strickland, all these different guys. I'm gonna be working out with Coach Eric Nixik, who's three-time MMA coach of the year. Incredible guy. And then I was like, you know what? What can we do to elevate, right? Like just working out an MMA workout is not enough. How can I do more? How can I jump out of the airplane? So my buddy Justin has a really good connection with Brad Tavares who happens to be the tied winds record holder for the middleweight division in the UFC and I'm like Why don't we like getting like a spar session and my dude Justin's like, yeah, absolutely. I'll set it up Brad's an awesome guy
Starting point is 00:02:37 He'll take it easy on you like you guys will you know do stuff in the middle of the octagon and like it'll be sick And I'm like, alright awesome. Let's do it So as the week has been going on I'm not worried about doing a live show in front of people at the Circo. Like who cares about that? That's not. That'll be fun. That's gonna be fun.
Starting point is 00:02:50 First time back since we wrecked downtown there. Exactly right. And Greg Cody owned Vegas like only Wayne Newton ever had. Exactly right. Luckily I saved Wayne Newton's life that day. Also, that's right. Put a paw out there, remember? You did save the life of Wayne Newton.
Starting point is 00:03:03 You don't get a near enough credit for that. I'll never forget that. People don't remember that. He was gonna fall off the stage. It a paw out there. Remember? You did save the life of Wayne Newton. You don't get a near enough credit for that. I'll never forget that. People don't remember that. That was all off the stage. It would have been broken. And then he would have broken like porcelain on the floor, shattered into a million pieces. Would have ruined the pool party yet. A million, a million clay pieces would have been on the floor. All of them covered in makeup.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I just would have had a shirt on like holding it. it. So, Brad Tavares, known great guy, and now it's starting to hit me, like, all right, we leave tomorrow over to Vegas, and we're basically flying from Miami, we touch down in Vegas, I put my bags on, and I go to the gym. So, I'm thinking, I don't really have enough time to really register.
Starting point is 00:03:39 All right, I'm gonna have to stand in there with an absolute born killer. Time out, time out. You got that, 20 or full. You. Yes. Here, airport, check in. What would you like to drink sir?
Starting point is 00:03:51 Oh, I'll have a water with ice. Drink it. Read a magazine, look out the window. It's a John Wick movie. You get off the plane and you just immediately start sparring a UFC fighter. Plane lands, drag bag behind you. Head to the circle, beautiful circle, drop off your bag. Check in, thank you sir, how long you been saying,
Starting point is 00:04:10 oh yes thank you, all right. Order the Uber, straight to the UFC gym, where this dude is gonna slap you around. That's it, hold on man. Is Lewis fighting him too at the same time? Lewis said, no, Lewis is not fighting him at the same time. I tried to urge Lewis, hey be part of the workout. He's not much of a workout guy. So he's like, you know what? I'm not gonna do the workout. I'll commentate on you Lewis obviously looking very good
Starting point is 00:04:33 Lewis is like a 150 fiver. I will he'll offer helpful critique and mock you far away. Yes, very far away Yeah I do like the idea of you just having either a duffel bag or a small piece of luggage with wheels and all of a sudden right behind the wheel of the airplane as it lands, you immediately have to start fighting as soon as you get off the plane with an MMA fighter. Juju, before we get to the stuff that Tony's doing in Las Vegas, anything, and I want to get to John Jones in a second as well, anything from the MMA world that you're finding interesting as Tony goes to celebrate this weekend in Vegas? Yes, there's been wonderful fights over the past couple of weeks,
Starting point is 00:05:13 but there was one thing I didn't get to ask my brother Tony about, and I want his opinion. Bellato got hit with a kick from the ground, an illegal kick, and it looked like he thought about it for a second and then went into, oh, I'm out of it. I'm out of it. Oh, how disqualified I am. What is your take, Tony? What happened?
Starting point is 00:05:32 You thought there was a UFC faker? I think it's it's I think it's playing the game. If you're down and you can't get kicked into the legal kick, why go up and try and restart the fight back on your feet when you can kind of deque the guy, right? And this was something that happened to Aljomain Sterling when he fought Pyotr Jan. There was a neck issue where Pyotr Jan need him while Aljomain Sterling was on the ground and he won the title by disqualification. People were really pissed about that, but he ended up having to get his neck fused. So there's reasons why. Yeah. There's reasons
Starting point is 00:06:02 why. So not a faker, faker or not a faker? Aljomain Sterling, not a faker faker or not a faker Not a faker this guy possibly faker because of the fact that he knew the rules faker or not faker not possibly faker I don't know opinion. I'm gonna be part of the UFC Brotherhood coming up and I can not talk Bakers are not fakers. That's how you stay likable imagine Brad Tavares is gonna hear that I said you have a girl and then all the sudden kicks me in the neck and my neck flies off That's right And then he says we're just faking it
Starting point is 00:06:29 Exactly, exactly I can't have that My favorite part about Tony's itinerary, I don't know if you know this, he said and then at 10 o'clock I have a dinner You think, you're gonna go around Well here's the thing, yeah I want to give you the full itinerary Obviously we go to the circle. We drop off our stuff. We go to Extreme Couture. We do the workout.
Starting point is 00:06:47 I fight Brad Tavares. From there, we go back to the circle. I'm going to freshen up. We actually have a party, a pre-UFC of 317 party with Cuervo that we're going to be doing at the Dave and Buster's down in Henderson. So I'm going to be going from there, from the fight to Dave and Buster
Starting point is 00:07:05 doing our thing a lot of D&D. Is this like a meet and greet? It's not a meet and greet, I mean, for me, if you wanna come meet me, yeah, sure. Are people coming to see you? I'm obviously gonna be the winner of the fight, so people are gonna probably wanna see me. Wow, this guy who doesn't fight,
Starting point is 00:07:16 all of a sudden fights a professional and wins. For the record, we have been a number of places where not only do we do meet and greet, but the people who are greeting us are bringing actual delicious meat. So there is the possibility that you get meat brought to you at the meet and greet that you're doing in Henderson after you get on an airplane
Starting point is 00:07:37 and fight someone on the tarmac. Yeah, and then Saturday night, we've got all people invited. Emily, hang out live Saturday from the Circle Hotel. All people. All people, baby. Circle takes care of us. They took good care of us in Vegas.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Anybody in Las Vegas. That's their slogan, all people. All people. A place for ribs is also their slogan. That's now available. Overlooking Stadium Swim, it's presented by Boost Mobile. The MMA Hangout starts at 10 PM Eastern, 7 PM Pacific,
Starting point is 00:08:04 streaming on all LeBittard channels. And we're very excited, Dan, but I'm starting to get a little bit worried and we actually have a heart rate monitor on me right now that we're practicing on. No. Yeah, to show, all right, what's the heart rate of the- The baseline.
Starting point is 00:08:20 What's the baseline? What the baseline is right now, then what the baseline is for the workout and how that's gonna be. And then when we actually are about to step into the octagon, that's why I wanted to get this. I told Kristen, go get me a heart rate monitor because I feel like I'm, yes, I do have a big...
Starting point is 00:08:33 What I feel like I'm gonna be more, the heart rate is gonna be higher is when I'm stepping into the actual octagon to fight him more so than the workout itself. This is... You were saying? This is gonna be insane. Thank you. That's the point. I hope he doesn't take it easy on you. 10 p.m. dinner. He needs to not take it easy on you. He needs to basically choke you out. Chris 10 p.m. it's Vegas
Starting point is 00:08:56 baby. What's the perfect time for dinner? I say 7 45. In Vegas? 7 45. In Vegas 10 p.m. Early than 10 p.m, you're nuts in Vegas. 745, perfect time for dinner. Prime time. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Is 745 the perfect time for dinner? I will tell you that lately I've been eating at 4 PM is my last meal. Oh, because you're old.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Like stew, yes. That's right. Don't talk to me about being old. You're old lately. You're feeling old lately. Yes, yes. We will get to that in a little bit. Thursday Thunder is presented by Draft Kings.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Draft Kings, the crown is yours. Juju, go ahead. The first leg of Thursday Thunder, I had my sister, Caitlin Clark, under 20.5 points, but breaking news, she's out with a groin injury tonight and she will not be playing. So instead of her, I'm going with Kelsey, Kelsino, Mitchell, over 17.5 points tonight. Aren't you scared of the Caitlin Clark unders
Starting point is 00:09:57 the way that you're scared of Patrick Mahomes unders? I used to be, but not again, not anymore. I see something in Caitlin and it's neither here nor there But I saw that injury a little earlier than the people saw it really so that's why you oh So you thought you had you thought you were doing what all the best gamblers do which is I have some information on injury That is money and value, but it was confirmed and you lost you didn't lose your money, but you lost your opportunity Yes, sir lost the opportunity you were too right juju you were a little less right she would have still played but you're too right right next leg I'm going with the the step the superstar right now the great
Starting point is 00:10:39 performance last game 30-point performance from Aliyah Boston so this game I definitely think she's going to have to get it without Caitlin Clark 14.5 points over that for sure. Says 15 and a half on the graphic we have here. That's how they do me. You know, they do me like that. She's going to score 60. So it doesn't matter. Who's they? Aliyah Boston market. What do like that? Who's they? A lead at Boston Market. What do they do?
Starting point is 00:11:06 Who's they and what do they do? Now that's too long of a story, man. Neither here nor there, Juju. But it's all of them? Is it all the people who have been invited to Circa? Is that also they? No? All people.
Starting point is 00:11:18 None of our people are at Circa. None of them, okay. Juju, let them know. Is it here or is it there? It is way down there. It's too far. It has to be one of them, right? It's neither here nor there. It has to always be one of them.
Starting point is 00:11:31 No, it's neither here nor there. No, it doesn't. It's usually neither here nor there somewhere else. Then where is it? Touche, Tache. The last leg. I'm going with the surging Washington Mystics. They've been playing great lately. Shakira Austin, oh my goodness, she's locked in these days. Kiki, I see you.
Starting point is 00:11:54 They're going against the Vegas Aces tonight who has a little Pitchin' their giddy up right now. They beat the dog crap out of the sun last night, but I could have beat the sun. Let's just keep it real I'm going with the Washington Mystics Plus eight point five points tonight against the aces lock it in says point eight and plus eight on the ground That's what they do I don't understand how it changed from the time the graphic was made to seconds later There's another half point or point in there. This is gambling man things change. That's true information
Starting point is 00:12:33 It's changing. I got a lock-in quick. Do you have any more for us? WNBA related juju. I'm looking forward to alley-oop making its return after a really successful debut during the NBA playoffs during the WNBA playoffs I assume is when it'll be back. What else do you have for us on this front? Yes sir maybe a little bit before that you know we got a lot of stories happening but last night the New York Liberty took out the Golden State Valkyrie but but Kate Martin, oh my goodness, she was so wet behind the three point line. Tiffany Hayes, Kayla Thorne, that Valkyrie team isn't like a regular expansion team who you gotta, okay, let's give them a couple of years
Starting point is 00:13:16 and they'll be all right. Those girls are contenders right now. I just wanna throw a salute out to Golden State and Val Halla. Shout out Kate Martin. The polls we're going to get, I want to get to some of these polls here. We're going to have a pitch clock is going to be later on in the show. And we're also going to relive some of the watch party that we did with Mero in the event that some of you missed some of the highlights from that. We're going to have that for you, but let's update the polls here.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Usually we do this in the postgame, but I'd like to do some of this now because the polls have been on fire lately. What do you have, Juju? Would you ever wear any bowling shoes without socks? Huh, Greg. So gross. 97% of the audience says, no, they will not.
Starting point is 00:14:04 I suppose it changes a little bit if you're the only one wearing those bowling shoes, 97% of the audience says no they will not. I suppose it changes a little bit if you're the only one wearing those bowling shoes, but it's still really foul. And furthermore, if you ask me, what are the most uncomfortable soles anywhere in shoes? Now I'm not gonna go high heels or ladies shoes, although I find them personally comfortable
Starting point is 00:14:24 whenever I wear them. Bowling shoes is where I go when I say least comfortable bottoms of shoes. It's a bad idea for a number of reasons, disgusting, but also you need socks with bowling shoes more than any other shoe. Dress shoes I'd go nominate. But bowling shoes are probably the closest
Starting point is 00:14:43 to dress shoe of any other shoe. No, but dress shoes done well don't have those discomforts. Bowling shoes are probably the closest to dress shoe of any other no, but dress shoes done Well, don't have those discomforts bowling shoes are all cheap get the foot away Can I can I point out that bowling shoes biggest scam ever you could just wear sneakers? Yeah, like like bowling shoes are from a time where people were all wearing hard bottom shoes No, you need some slide you need some sweat. Are you a bad bowler? You need some slide on those soulsles. Sneakers will, you'll get stuck. In fact, I will tell you, one of those nights at Tony Roma's, a place for ribs,
Starting point is 00:15:11 we went bowling afterward and I thought it'd be funny. What a night. Yeah, right, big night. Brooks Reid, Long Island Ice Tea. And look, I'm gonna tell you this story. This is how I learned this, because I don't know anything about bowling, but you'll find this funny.
Starting point is 00:15:22 I'm like, I'll be funny, it's funny. I'll go down and I'll run down the lane and then I'll knock down the pins by sliding down the lane. Like a seal? With your body. No, like a seal on like a glacier? Right, but like a seal that was wearing a leather jacket
Starting point is 00:15:35 and didn't realize that there would be no slide and I'd just land like a javelin and so I didn't get to any of the pins. I just flopped out in the middle of the lane with my feet going and hitting me like, you know, my feet, yeah, no, I mean. I mean. Like a chair?
Starting point is 00:15:51 I just landed, and, cause a leather jacket didn't have any give. You need to slide on a court, on a lane, bowling lane. You went from a popular eatery to a bowling alley with a leather jacket on. Was this 1952? What was going on? How much grease was in your hair? I went to a soda eatery to a bowling alley with a leather jacket on. Was this 1952? What was going on? How much grease was in your hair?
Starting point is 00:16:06 I went to a soda shop that I got after that from a soda jerk, a wonderful ice cream malt. You went to Walls Ice Cream right across the street. Hand-spun milkshake. You went to the 62nd US-1 Tony Romas. I know exactly which one you went to. Did the T-birds mess with you outside?
Starting point is 00:16:20 Hey, Levitard. Hey, punk. We don't like you on our turf. And you're like, hey guys, I want no problems. And you pull out a switchblade that looked like a comb. Hey, whovitard, hey punk, I don't like you on our turf. And you're like, hey guys, I want no problems. And he pull out a switchblade that looked like a comb. Hey, who wants to dance? That's exactly how it happened. And then he literally broke out into song.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Ha ha ha. What else do you have on the polls, Juju? Has the draft gone from what is this guy to who is this guy? 92% of the audience says, yes, it has. 92%, yep. Is it as fun as it used to be, guys? Forgive me for missing it last night, but in terms of once upon a time, just seeing what Patrick Ewing was wearing
Starting point is 00:17:01 is what people were tuning in to the draft for. Is it less interesting on that front as just a fashion statement? Is it all less interesting because we have more information than we've ever had, but we feel like we know less on draft night than we've ever known? There's Dan right outside the bowling alley.
Starting point is 00:17:20 He took his leather jacket off. So you have it being a comb, a comb that turns into a switchblade. That you flip open, unless that's the part. Comes out. I gotta ask Valor to get me one of those. I would also say Shams from the draft last night, you work for ESPN now.
Starting point is 00:17:36 You're a little quick on the draw for the announcing these picks through your Twitter. I'm trying to catch up now. I know something that's happening. You're messing up the TV product. But salute to Shams. I love you. Didn't Jordan Schultz get in trouble for that because the leagues
Starting point is 00:17:48 are now trying to ban their information guys from doing that. I felt like Jordan Schultz was a renegade who tried to do that. Shams was doing it again last night. I thought they didn't do that anymore. It was right before his hits.
Starting point is 00:17:58 He'll be like Washington has traded the rights to this and this and this and this. And I'm like, wait, what? And then they'll draft the change the person. And I'm like, OK, what? And then they'll draft the change the person. And I'm like, okay, this could have waited until you told me on TV, brother. But I'm nitpicking my brother, Shams.
Starting point is 00:18:10 I love you, bro. Did you you can mean to me? We're talking about earlier the way that the trades were getting announced. You didn't really know who was going where. Like you had Atlanta picking for New Orleans, but then they didn't really mention that the pick was going over to New Orleans and Portland picked a guy from Memphis. But Memphis was going to a guy from Sacramento. it's like where was the Chinese guy going?
Starting point is 00:18:28 I don't know like he put on a Memphis hat, but he's going to Portland It's like how can we make these things easier? Can we just give him the hat of the team? Was it less of an event last night than it usually is? Has it has it been diluted over the years? I used to enjoy it I don't watch it anymore for a number of different reasons that again have to do with the auctioning off of where it is that people with this talent should have freedoms and then they gotta go to Toronto
Starting point is 00:18:54 and mutter under their breath, bleep. Or Utah. I'm one of the top 10 most talented people available in the world. Damn it, I have to go to Utah. Salt Lake City. I think Tony is right. I think Tony is right.
Starting point is 00:19:04 At least switch the hat up, Alan silver like don't give him a Toronto hat if he's headed to New Orleans brother, let us see that hat neither here nor there Are we weeks away from Canada and France wiping the block with us in basketball 58% of the audience says yes, we are. Oh They're coming. It's insane. Juju, can you speak some sense into Red, White, and Blue USA from basketball, please? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:19:32 I got a movie for you to watch. It's called Court of Gold. Go get you some. Exactly right. And another movie to watch, Band of Brothers. Exactly right. Get you some. Watch it sometime.
Starting point is 00:19:43 How about a miracle on ice, buddy? And some of the Ruskies are coming next, huh? What happened to you? Have you ever used the word hoomst? 56% of the audience says, no, they haven't. Yeah, they lived. Right. This is the most important poll of the day.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Who looks more like a lunch lady, Kelly Olenek or Luis Scola? I think it's Kelly. Yeah? I think Kelly looks like the lunch lady. Kelly Olenek or Luis Scola? I think it's Kelly. Yeah. I think Kelly Olenek is the nice one. Yeah, Luis Scola does not give you any extra whatever you're supposed to have. Stingy with the mashed potatoes. 53% of the audience says Kelly Olenek. Okay, this is what's wrong about that poll and I will never forgive you people for this. Put a hairnet on Scola. If you put a hairnet on Sc never forgive you people for this. Put a hairnet on Scola. If you put a hairnet on Scola, he wins that poll.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Put a hairnet on Kelly Olynyk. That's the part, though, you don't have to do anything to Kelly. That's true. He's already got that little thin headband, which makes it look like he's wearing the hairnet, so it's kind of what Ordi does. Scola had one too, he had to keep that down.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Scola's the one that started that. The originator. Before that everyone wore just regular headbands. Skola said, no, just give me shoestring. I'll do that. Do you know how brave that is to play NBA basketball as with a hair bun? Shout out to Lou Amundson.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Oh, that's right. Hi man, sweet Lou. Shaq, how dare you. If you are an athlete and your last name is Coward, do you think about changing your name? 85% of the audience says, yes, they do. And part B to that poll, if your last name is Coward, should you change your first name to Bill? 77% of the audience says, yes, you should. And those are your polls. Thank you, Juju. We will talk to you again next week, sir. Good to see you. I hope that Thursday Thunder the Parlay hits, he's been great on 2 for 3.

Blues clues, blues clues. Sit on the chair and think about it. This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats. that indeed made him look more like a lunch lady. Just what's in his hair all the time. So he looks more like a lunch lady. I know, but this is what Scola's got
Starting point is 00:23:28 that Olenek does not have that the lunch lady also has. Put Scola back up there. Scal? No, it's not the scowl. It is, and I hate to say this, it's the stubble. The five o'clock shadow. No, it's the- Now- No, he's right, he's right. No, hold on, hold on. This is why people like
Starting point is 00:23:48 Kirk Shin, this is why people like Scott Benz, because they're nice people. Is that from Big Mac? I saw Big Mac this morning, who watched? For those who do not know and are listening instead of watching I have a hat in front of me and Big Mac is the person who protects our carport. People around here get very used to the inside jokes that alienate the audience and yes, it is a hat that looks like the one Big Mac wears that is a leftover from last night and the baseball show that we did.
Starting point is 00:24:16 I was pointing out that now on the screen you have Louis Scola with a little tiny headband and still thinking Kelly Olynyk looks more like a lunch lady So I have in front of me this Top hat and this is Jeremy's idea from last night that we never got to and there are papers in here And what was I supposed to do with this Jeremy that I never did with it? You grab it take take take out a piece of paper
Starting point is 00:24:41 Name the baseball term or name and just have Tim Kirkshaw start talking about it We'll play that with me. Yeah, go ahead switch hitters Chipper Jones Okay, good game. I'm glad we played it This would be better with Kirkshin. Just phrases. Okay. Batting gloves. Oh, listen. Vlad Guerrero Jr. Vlad Guerrero, the dad, never needed the batting gloves.
Starting point is 00:25:13 You know what he did to the calluses, Dan? Pissed on them. That's what you would do to open up the calluses and clean them out. All of a sudden, Moises Alou too. But Vlad would sit up there, wha! You know that for a fact. Yeah, of course. That's what you always do. I know it for a fact with Moises Alou. I did not know it for a fact with Vlad Guerrero Sr. Now you know. The urine is something that he would use on his hands
Starting point is 00:25:33 to soften the calluses. Yeah, soften the calluses. Had you not heard that before, Chris Cody? I had not heard that urinating on calluses helps. Yeah, dude. That jellyfish. Doesn't Chad Ocho Cinco also do something with urine? Putting a jellyfish on your calluses helps?
Starting point is 00:25:51 No, no, no. That kind of thing. I'm kidding. Nolan Ryan used pickle juice. Why don't we just use pickle juice instead of urine? It seems like Moises Salu used the urine to toughen his skin so that it would eliminate calluses, so the calluses wouldn't even exist. His skin was so tough already. Alright, here we go. This is from
Starting point is 00:26:07 November 2024. Chad Ocho Cinco had a secret formula for staying healthy. He says he used to collect urine, warm urine from his teammates, heat it up, and put my ankle in it for 30 minutes to fend off ankle sprains. I don't know if I believe all the stuff that Ocho Cinco says because I think sometimes he says things like that in order for people to react to things like that. Yeah, it worked.
Starting point is 00:26:30 There's a reason I've never been injured. Home remedies, I'm sitting here living proof. I wonder if different teammates had like, better, like their urine had made my ankle better. Yeah, that's the part I don't believe. What was wrong with Ocho Cinco's healing urine? It's a good thing. This is how I was able to collect it all at one time, right?
Starting point is 00:26:47 You got team meetings in the morning, right? Everybody, hey, yo, boy, do me a favor, boy. My ankle kinda f***ed up. I need you to drink water all at once. So when we break beating, if y'all pee, it's a bucket in the bathroom. Boom, y'all peeing that bucket now for me. Didn't he say, you said at the beginning
Starting point is 00:27:03 that he warms it up. Yeah. In a microwave? Microwaving urine. I'm assuming he has a special urine microwave. Oh, wow. The sun maybe just leaves it outside? Maybe it leaves it outside. There you go.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Sun-dried piss. That can't be true. It can't be true. You think he's lying? I think his teammates wouldn't participate. What do you think happened the first time that he asked? Because it's like, it's one thing if you show up, you're just drafted by the team that he's on. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:25 I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:32 I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:39 I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. So first of all, he talks about, this is from February 2016, so he's been talking about this for almost a decade at least, right? And this is what I'm thinking.
Starting point is 00:27:49 He's talking about his grandmother was the one that put him onto this, right? And this is the quote right here. I would soak my ankle in warm urine. That was the answer he gave when someone asked, how did you get over ankle sprains? Amari Cooper says, man, my ankle's so fat, it don't make no sense.
Starting point is 00:28:06 And Chad Johnson responded, soak it in warm urine. Do you think he tried cold urine first? The thing that I'm saying is that if he needs a lot of urine and he needs it to be warm, he can use and collect his own urine and then microwave it in order to avoid the embarrassment of asking his teammates to help him with their urine. So this is from March 2012.
Starting point is 00:28:30 I never go out at night and the night I do, I got peed on by a real lion. I feel honored. Who can say they got peed on by a lion? Someone asked him, how in the world did you even get close enough to a lion to get peed on? And he said, I wasn't that close. He sprayed like a water gun,
Starting point is 00:28:44 which is how lions pee, by the way. It's true. I'm seeing here that he said T.J. Houshmansada had the best urine. Houshmansada. He had the best urine, it says here. I made that up. Put it on the poll, at Levitard Show,
Starting point is 00:28:55 did T.J. Houshmansada have the most healing urine at Levitard Show? I can't believe some of you. Put it in, he's like, that's the good stuff. No, that's, oh my God, I feel so much better. I can't believe some's like that's the good stuff. Oh my god. I feel so much better I can't believe some of you find such a horrific and emotionally draining accident so funny I'm disgusted at all of you who laughs that's Chad Ocho Cinco March 2012 because he got peed on by a lion I I have never seen a mean do more or better research quickly and
Starting point is 00:29:23 Amin do more or better research quickly, and also it would appear that the urine Google search with Ocho Cinco has revealed a lion's urine when Amin was only looking for the teammates of Bengals, the Bengals urine, he wasn't looking for lion urine, but that came up anyway. Different cat. Never played in Detroit, but somehow still got lion urine.
Starting point is 00:29:41 I turned TJ into a former rock station in South Florida. Zeta. Ha ha ha. Roy, I'm glad that we teased why it is that you're feeling old these days. You looked like- Oh, we're getting back to it, nice. You looked right in my face and you called me old
Starting point is 00:29:58 when you lately have been feeling old and the hockey playoffs, I believe, ransacked you and made you feel even older. Yeah, it's not just that because I'm doing Learn to Play, the Panthers and USA Hockey and some other teams in the league have formed a partnership where they actually teach hockey to average citizens. It's Roy and a bunch of 12-year-olds.
Starting point is 00:30:18 No, this is adult Learn to Play. I love that visual, though. Two separate things. But yeah, I though. Those are so neat. Two separate things. But yeah, I mean, I've been doing this for a month now. I have four or five sessions and I'm getting better. Your voice got higher there. I don't know if you're really getting better. I like them.
Starting point is 00:30:35 I'm getting better. But I'm getting older. Roy, now what's the recovery like? I gotta assume you're slipping and falling a couple of times. Because you know, you're trying to that's why I Stopped rollerblading Yeah, too high up another visual I want to see
Starting point is 00:30:51 Big tree fall hard then get elbow pads aren't in the booty shorts Right there on oceans Yeah, as hanging out the back. Yeah, I almost brought mom last week Yeah, yeah the transition from skating forward to skating backwards as I was turning went too far. And I fell, but my arm, which was holding my stick, my left arm was behind me, and that's where I fell. And I was probably a middle, an inch or two from breaking my arm.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Is it sore now? Does it still hurt? It's still sore, yes. All right, I'll tell you what we can do. Guys, Jeremy, Chris, Tony, let's go pee. Oh, there's a bucket in the bathroom right now. Get the microwave ready. Get that, we'll put bucket in the bathroom right now. Get the microwave ready. Get that, we'll put it in the air fryer.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Better quality. Microwave strips nutrients. Air fryer, do a good job. See, stick it in there, warmed up. Put that elbow in some urine. One at a time, I'd like each of you to go out, fill a bucket now with urine, bring it back, and have Roy soak his elbow in it
Starting point is 00:31:44 during the last hour of the show. I've got more Chad Johnson quotes. The funny thing about it is that I had some remedies that I use. Nobody believed me. If it wasn't enough of mine I would have to get my teammates urine. I put my ankle that's swollen or the one that's sprained and warm the urine up really hot. Sip my foot in the urine. If I spray my ankle on a Wednesday and we play Sunday by the time I got to Friday I was able to do that fast walk to practice on Friday and play the game fully healthy on Sunday There you go seems legit. I like it. I like it Tony I want you to go after Chris and fill a bucket with urine and yeah, you got to drink some water
Starting point is 00:32:19 That's what oh, they hydrated obviously fighting Brad Tavares on Friday I want to do something that we started yesterday and I want to do it again because I want as much information from Amin as we can possibly get on this. Feel free to load up your NBA questions here for Amin so that we can get a lot of stuff from him. Speed him up and let's get moving on giving people the maximum amount of Amin Elhassan basketball information on a day that people want basketball information. I don't know what it is that you saw last night that was most interesting to you. You objected to me starting
Starting point is 00:32:58 with the Pelicans and Nets as people that are as teams that were made fun of last night, so what did you find most interesting about last night? Well, I did find interesting the fact that the Pelicans made this massive bet on their future, on their immediate future, in order to get someone who exhibits many of the similar kind of pitfalls of the guy they already have.
Starting point is 00:33:22 And so I look at this Pelicans team, I don't see a full roster, I don't see a full identity, and I'm thinking to myself, what gave Joe Dumars and the Pelicans the confidence that this is all gonna work itself out in the next 12 months? That was the most interesting thing to me. I want the fast music that we give to Diana Rusini so that we can move this along and get as much basketball information as possible
Starting point is 00:33:47 before we soak your elbow in some communal urine. Hot urine. I just did mine, now Tony's doing his. Thank you, Jeremy. We'll be next. We'll all go and we'll do this. Can you please tell me, I mean, Kyrie Irving, three years, $119 million.
Starting point is 00:34:03 What did you think of that? So, Kyrie Irving must three years, $119 million. What did you think of that? So, Kyrie Irving must have had the most leverage of a man who just tore his ACL in the history of the NBA, right? And it's true because Nico Harrison needed him. They need him. If he was gonna say, oh, I'm opting out and I'm gonna sign somewhere else,
Starting point is 00:34:18 the Mavericks would have been screwed. They don't really have a recourse to replace what Kyrie does on that roster. So great for him. I know some people might look at it and say, wait, he took a pay cut. No, he took 43 million guaranteed and said, I'd rather have 119 guaranteed for over the next three years. Great move by Kyrie.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Bill Simmons on the Heat's first round pick. Quote, he fills the box score. He's just going to be good. It really is annoying to me. Then they'll sign Kaminga and guess what? He'll be good for them too. Then all of a sudden we'll be like, Jesus Christ, we're back with the Heat. I thought we killed them. We thought they were dead.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I think that's a pretty accurate depiction of the Miami Heat. Look, the biggest question mark for me there is Jonathan Kaminga, who showed flashes but couldn't really adapt to the system that the Warriors were running. I believe here in Miami he'd get more freedom. he'd be featured a lot more, which would be great for him and his development. But, Spoh has a way of doing things as well, so he's gonna have to adjust to that as well. But yeah, I could see this Miami Heat team next year
Starting point is 00:35:15 being like a five-seater and everyone thinking, I thought it was over for them, how are they back here? Why isn't Wiggins what Kaminga was if you're giving the Heat that much credit on that? I think Wiggins is a finished product. He is what he is. He was what he was when they won the championship. That was the best version of him, but it was still the inconsistency. Everyone says, oh, the guy's an All-Star. He was an All-Star because the first half of that year he was amazing, and as soon as he made the All-Star game
Starting point is 00:35:39 everything fell off a cliff until they got to the playoffs, and he showed a big time in those conference finals, especially guarding Luka Dantic against the Mavericks but overall his career was always up and down up and down up and down you hope that Komingo who's a lot younger about 23 years old he's got more opportunity more runway to become a more consistent basketball player. Best trade so far? Woof best rate so far Yesterday you looked me in the eye you gave one word answers and you were so turned up the heat on He does gone music is moving fast. You know you have to check your computer For you I'll fill the bus it for you. He's filling up nicely
Starting point is 00:36:22 I thought I didn't have enough in the tank went extra. Oh, it was extra yellow. I saw you guys haven't been high Water I think we three of us have done it now and there's plenty in there Okay, put it there for Roy to soak his elbow and he can tell us whether it feels better That was me last night sorry is that the only is that asparagus the only thing that makes the urine smell bad put Her on the pole at Lebatard show is asparagus yet It's a lot smells so bad in here. Yes. You know what happens when I drink coffee con leche It smells like coffee really you guys need this like more water. I told you guys about that Floyd Mayweather The first time I saw that
Starting point is 00:36:58 Dehydrated can produce brown urine is when Floyd Mayweather wasn't drinking enough water in one of those 24-7 reality shows. You guys need to drink more water. I've had that happen where I took a whiz and I was like, oh my God, I need to drink way more water. But to answer your question, it's still the Rockets getting Kevin Durant because what they gave up did not materially impact their core or their future. They managed to add a Hall of Famer to a team that was already pretty good without giving up too much
Starting point is 00:37:25 Have you heard anyone other than Samson be critical of that trade for the Rockets? It's warm. Have you heard anybody other than Sampson criticize that trade for the Rockets? The only way that trade doesn't work is if Durant gets hurt, I think. And even if he does get hurt, you didn't give up all that much.
Starting point is 00:37:58 You still have plenty of people at each one of those positions that they gave up in those players to fill in the gaps. No, I haven't heard anyone other than Samson say it was a bad deal for the Rockets. If anything, people said the Suns should have got more. Oh, I can smell it, I think. Or is that just my brain?
Starting point is 00:38:14 It's starting to feel better. How did Utah do in the NBA draft? Dude, it smells so bad. Well, it all depends if Ace Bailey's gonna play there. You know, look, Danny Ainge is always a guy who marches to the beat of his own drum. And so I kind of like the ballsy-ness of saying, I'm gonna take the guy and say he didn't want to be here.
Starting point is 00:38:30 But the problem there is the guy didn't want to be here. So you want to have some sort of kind of confirmation that he's going to be playing for you. Otherwise you've just entered a Steve Francis type situation where you use a good draft pick to draft a great player who does not want to be playing for your team. This is a new loafer.
Starting point is 00:38:49 It legitimately smells like urine in here. Percentage of chance Jalen Brown or Derek White gets traded. Or I would say 60s to 70%. It's a good chance. Wow. I don't think Brown would be the guy it would probably be Derek White but the Celtics as I said yesterday are a move away from
Starting point is 00:39:10 being under the apron under the tax and I think that's a little too enticing when you're that close for a team that's trying to cut costs.
