Starting point is 00:01:40 Jessica heard that Tony and Stugats had been collaborating that way and then I look up during the break and Jessica and Stugatz are collaborating all of a sudden. Giggling and laughing with each other. Stugatz is enjoying these top five collaborations. What are you two working on? What is it that you guys were just doing in tandem there? Well, Dan, I'm not sure if you're familiar with the story of Bill Ackman, the 59-year-old hedge fund billionaire who played in a challenger event in Rhode Island this past weekend, which
Starting point is 00:02:12 went about as well as you would expect for a non-professional tennis player in a professional tennis event playing against professional tennis players would go. And it's been quite a controversy. Andy Roddick said on his podcast that it's one of the most embarrassing things he's ever seen in professional tennis. And quite a storm erupted around all of this. He then proceeded to try to make a $10 million donation to the Tennis Hall of Fame. And they were like, No, we don't want this. This looks like you bribed your way into this event, which you totally didn't do, Bill Ackman. And amidst all of this, Dan, he's been just posting these like five billion word tweets about it. Anyways, long story short, his doubles partner in this event was Jack Sock.
Starting point is 00:02:56 And so Stu Gotz and I were collaborating on athletes whose names canote laundry. Oh, wow, that's very exciting. At Levitard Show show let's make sure not to leave this segment without getting to that top five list uh... you got served with andy roddick is an actual podcast it's a good podcast andy roddick is very good weren't you talking about uh... putting together a podcast with andy roddick and marty fish uh...
Starting point is 00:03:23 wanted to hear that you know you know, Andy's busy. But it had like a great name. I don't think it was Fish Dick, even though I think you were saying it had. Fish and Rod. Fish and Rod is what it was. Fish and Rod. I think they should have gone with Dan.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Yeah. Better name for a podcast. Fish and Dick, or Fish and Rod, or Fish Dick at LeBotard Show. Can we play for Jessica here an assortment of video and sound? I want to start with Xander Schauffele, because I don't know what Stugatz's opinion is on this. We will go to him first, because he's our golf expert. But Xander Schauffele alleges something, and I don't know how Stugatz feels about this.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Do you say you don't have any trophies? No. Where are they? My parents' house, probably. In a bank vault. I think that's where some of the trophies, like one of the trophies was, when they travel. Including the gold medal? I actually have no idea where that is, to be completely honest. It's great to know. Yeah. Why don't you? What am I gonna do with it?
Starting point is 00:04:31 I don't really invite people over my house so why don't I just like go look at it myself like you know what I mean? That's just my like that's how I feel about it you know it's like I don't I'm not gonna like walk into a trophy room and be like oh look how great I am you know what I mean? I get that's what you're supposed to say like hey I'm not going to walk into a trophy room and be like, oh, look how great I am, you know what I mean? I get that's what you're supposed to say, like, hey, I'm not gonna celebrate myself. I don't need reminders of all my accomplishments. I am focused. I am focused on winning the next tournament,
Starting point is 00:04:54 the next round, the next major. I get it. He knows where the trophies are. I don't care what anyone tells me. He knows exactly where the gold medal is. He knows exactly where all the trophies are. He has worked his entire life to get those trophies. He knows where they are. Dan, I won the Seicham's Coup in 1982 at Camp Winoke, okay, for best athlete in the camp. They called it the Seicham's
Starting point is 00:05:18 Coup. I know exactly where it is. It's a feather. It has red on it. It has black on it. It has yellow on it. It has green on it. It has blue on it. I know exactly where that thing is because I worked my entire life to win the Sachem's coup back in 1982. So he knows where the trophy is. Where is it?
Starting point is 00:05:38 It's in my dad's office. It is. Does your dad pretend he won it? I mean, that's up to my dad. He can, you know, say whatever he wants, right? I mean, he's my dad. He can you know say whatever he wants, right? I mean, he's my dad. He's free to say I won the St. James Quill in 82 You're saying it'd be weird to have a guy who was 45 years old at the time at sleepaway camp But you know, he probably win though at 45 you would think you would have to win beating 12 year olds or whatever was Yeah, 12. Yeah
Starting point is 00:05:59 Jessica do you believe that Shofley is lying? No, I just think he's like the most Cali person. He's probably the most Cali guy on the tour, right? Stu Gatz, he's just like, yeah, whatever. His name is Xander. San Diego vibes. Very laid back, yes. But if you won those trophies, he's not wrong, right? You don't assume that the people who are winning
Starting point is 00:06:18 all their trophies are making giant trophy rooms and then often won there by themselves, walking into that trophy room standing there and being like, wow, I really am great. That's what Brooks Koepke has, right? In the first season of Full Swing, I remember he had like a full trophy room and there were empty shelves for future tour wins,
Starting point is 00:06:38 or well not tour wins, I guess now, future majors wins, Dan. He just had like this big room in his house. Lots of slots open, right. Oh, but the best sort of intimate view of an athlete's excellence regarding a trophy room that I've seen was some inside look at Serena Williams where she was going through her trophy room,
Starting point is 00:06:58 and she really had, some of the stuff was dusty and stuff because she'd won so many of them. Have her in the middle of her excellence sort of bored by her own excellence was an inside look. I believe Shofley though. Ricky Williams' Heisman was in my father's garage for 12 years. Yeah, but didn't Ricky know that? But Ricky knew where it was.
Starting point is 00:07:18 I understand not celebrating yourself while you're inside your career, but you know where the trophies are. I don't know if he knew where it was. I don't actually know i'd like i can't say that for sure uh... let's uh... let's play some sound here one of jess's favorites because at this one's going to be tough to explain the people later in life joma's
Starting point is 00:07:36 ola if uh... if they had lost and been swept one down three oh there's a good chance joma's who would have been fired uh... against the miami heat the Miami Heat. A better than average chance that Missoula would have been fired. Instead he wins a championship and we don't know what to make of Missoula because he's a little out there. He's different than most of the championship coaches especially in Boston. But let's listen to the Joe Missoula sound here because nobody in the NBA, there's not a coach in the NBA now that talks like this person and I don't know if there's ever been one.
Starting point is 00:08:06 So you know how they have escape rooms? Yeah. We should start a business where you have like situation rooms. You can sign up and go in and reenact different things. You know, like, hey, what are you doing tonight? Ah, we're gonna grab dinner and then we're gonna go reenact the Bin Laden raid.
Starting point is 00:08:17 That'd be a sick first date idea. I think the escape room's just the beginning. They have those. You go out to like the West Coast, the John Wick guy that teaches you gun. But I'm talking like down here on the main road. I'm saying like you can find an escape room anywhere. At a billiard spot?
Starting point is 00:08:28 Yeah, like tonight we're going to reenact... Saw 4. No, maybe. I mean talk about morality. But tonight we're going to reenact like negotiation tactics. After dinner, you're going to be kidnapped and I got to use my negotiation tactics to like get you back. Fun Friday night. I mean escape rooms are just the beginning. Oh yeah, that's child's play.
Starting point is 00:08:44 That's boring. Trying to go P.F. Chang's night. I mean escape rooms are just the beginning. Oh yeah, that's child's play. That's boring. Trying to go P.F. Chang's, maybe a little waterboarding afterwards. Have you guys seen Joe Missoula laugh? That's about as close as I've seen it. He doesn't do a lot of laughing, does he? Can I just say one thing?
Starting point is 00:08:57 The Joe Missoula wanting to reenact the Bin Laden raid is one thing, but the guy who said that that's a great first date idea should be on some sort of list. I agree, at LeBattard's show. Like a two date list? That's a good gummy conversation right there though. What are we going to do with the way
Starting point is 00:09:17 that we appraise Joe Missoula? Because I don't have this wrong, right? This is gonna be over the last three years, there has been a bit of a conundrum on whatever it is the genius leadership is of that franchise, because that franchise has been well run and he's gone. You do understand that while he was learning on the biggest stage, we watched him come very close to failing and damaging his career in a way that wouldn't have made anything like what he did
Starting point is 00:09:45 last year close to possible. I think there's a chance that he's viewed like Budenholtz, a guy that has a championship but is not necessarily high regarded. Budenholtz won a coach of the year though. He won 61 games in Atlanta. Yeah, I know his resume and he's still viewed as a joke. I think things are going to take a turn now and we have no Jason Tatum this year How is he gonna be able to navigate around Jalen Brown around the core that they have at the moment with knowing that?
Starting point is 00:10:12 Their ownership group wants to sell off, you know players wants to get a little bit more under the cap The thing that I look at is Brad Stevens. I feel like it's a better GM that he's been a coach, right? Is that fair to say better GM than coach? I mean, it's a better GM that he's been a coach right is that fair to say better GM than coach I mean it's irrefutable he's been more successful been more successful he hand picked this guy Joe Masula and I feel like I trust Brad Stevens on hey he's a good coach I'm gonna listen to what Brad Stevens has to say because he hand picked you doka prior to and you don't and he's a very good coach but you guys just said that Masula is in territory. I think there's a chance that it could happen and some of that's not his fault with his injury. They could take a step back this year. Most people expect them to with Jason Tatum being injured and
Starting point is 00:10:56 they've gotten rid of players and if there's a sacrificial lamb he might be it. Do you think he's a joke just because he's like weird? Yeah, I think that adds to it, honestly. He's very kooky. Public voices for a team don't usually do what he just did there. He does not seem to have come up with a potentially billion dollar idea.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Great business idea. Is it this what you guys want from coaches? You're like, I don't say anything. And then they say something like, they say something like whoa, don't say that. No, I like what he said I dig it. Benlonti would be cool Howdy folks, it's Mike Ryan. If you were listening to the show just a couple days ago You know that Jeremy came up with the top five breath of fresh air type of list a really refreshing feeling and on that list Jeremy help me out. I mean, that first sip of a Miller Lite at the barbecue on a hot day, crack it open, that sound, that sound ultra satisfying.
Starting point is 00:11:56 And then that first sip, it hits. And yes, while it's hot outside as it is presently, it cools your body down. It hits a little different down here in South Florida. But as someone that had Miller Lite north of the border and basically football tailgates as the leaves turn there really isn't a bad time to turn into Miller time. Next time we should do a top five times to have Miller time. I like where your head's at because it's every time. That's right. Every time. Morning time problem. Well, scratch that. Nah, morning time. Morning time.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Morning time if you need it. If you're on vacation. If you're on vacation. If you're on vacation. If you're at a morning tailgate, there's a noon game. It's Miller time somewhere. Miller Lite, great taste, 96 calories. Go to MillerLite.com slash Dan

Starting point is 00:12:59 What do we mean by almost? Well, you can't get a Well Groom lawn delivered, but you can get a chicken parmesan delivered. A cabana? That's a no. But a banana? That's a yes. A nice tan? It's me, your brain. And I, your mouth. I act on logic. I act on taste. For me, Pizza Hut's Nashville Hot Chicken Pizza with Spicy Fried Chicken, Pickles,
Starting point is 00:13:35 and Creamy Ranch Drizzle is confusing. To me, it sounds good. Pickles on pizza? Amazing. It shouldn't work. But it's so good. Try the Nashville Hot lineup at Pizza Hut. Your mouth will get it. Don Lebatard!
Starting point is 00:13:50 Well, my point about Jimbo Fisher is that Nick Saban, he's been trying to cancel me for saying that Mrs. Met has cake. And Bobby Bowden would have said, Mrs. Met, she is snatched. Stugats! I never pay for a player. I would pay for Mrs. Med to give me a lap dance. This is the Dunn-Levatar Show with the Stugats. I'm doing more the appraisal of a champion and how it is that we assign traits to winners, whether they are weird or whether they're careful. I really don't know what to make of this person.
Starting point is 00:14:26 When I ask if you guys have seen him laugh, it's because I see an uncommon intensity in every conversation that he has. There's a Mike McDaniel element to this where right now it's fine, nice. Yeah, but this guy's won something. But I'm just saying, right now he's riding off of that where it's like we're good with it.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Right. If they struggle this year and then the next year this is not gonna be as cute I'm with you crazy eyes land different if you're in the playin is there a coach that is what a championship and then years later turned into a punchline like a joke like Buden holder I guess well years later let's I mean right and Ed Orgeron yeah there's a there's a few less miles less my well but less miles went on to Kansas and then had the worst program. Like he had a punctuation that wasn't, the championship wasn't terribly fresh once we got to the punctuation. Right, the final act was Ed Orgeron getting fired. How about Bill Belichick? That's a great one, Jess. Excellent. Story's still being written, but right now, if it came to an end right now, and it's not even on the field, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:15:28 The thing that I would say to you, though, about in general the appraisal on Missoula, usually the guy that is the eccentric personality isn't also young enough to be the whiz kid. It's not the most common thing to have somebody have, you know, championship pedigree and also, well, but the stuff he's doing, he's in his early 30s and usually, especially in Boston, that looks like Brad Stevens or it looks like, you know, Theo Epstein. A couple of cops, like Dick Vermeel,
Starting point is 00:15:58 early days with the Eagles. But if it looks like Brad Stevens and looks like Theo Epstein, it usually talks like Brad Stevens and Theo Epstein. Not like this person, not like Joe Missoula talks. I mean, Dick Vermeer was a shock to the system in terms of his approach, player friendly. I waited for a long time. McVeigh, good one. Too long. Yeah, but yes, McVeigh's a good one, but McVeigh's not out here saying things that make us think he's strange. He's got a memory, he's got a photographic memory and does things that we think are amazing. He's also super intense, right?
Starting point is 00:16:28 Whenever he gets on the mic, he's like, what's up, guys? All right, everybody, let's do this. You see, he's got a great one. Sirianni. Perfect. What about Lane Kiffin? That's that was another one. And it's a mixed bag.
Starting point is 00:16:37 But Sirianni is perfect. The the initial press conference, he's won a Super Bowl and still is not able to shake that. Lane Kiffin also kind of, I mean, not with the championship, but he was also viewed as like a whiz kid and a lot of people view him in a jokey manner now. Do they right now? I think he maybe, I think he may.
Starting point is 00:16:54 He sort of does that to himself too. Yeah, that's a, yeah. He's kind of in on the joke, I think. Okay, if we're doing those spectrum of, because this is a big spectrum joke if i'm going to the midpoint and i go lane kiffin which way you going you going closer to joker you know it's also the champion as i want to champion rather so is close okay that our excellence excellence
Starting point is 00:17:17 whatever it is that what what i'm talking about pedigree a reputation that people have and i'm doing it through the prism of missoula who i don't know how to appraise. Like I as recently as two years ago I saw that man failing in a way that suggested to me he at the time didn't know how to coach very well and then he's allowed to learn on the stage because he's a young person how to coach better than that. I guess Lane Kiffin's right in the middle. Yeah. As you're figuring out the this spectrum i think that that's a good like zero right there but let's play the seriani press conference and see if
Starting point is 00:17:50 it's aged any better that uh... i i will say that whatever it is that is about to be said here and i don't remember the details i do remember that we mocked it it's allot easier for whatever it is that this is to become genius leadership when you have twenty two pro bowlers at every position on the field next thing it's very important to me is that we build a smart football team that we have a smart football team here and i know we have the the people in place to do that
Starting point is 00:18:17 the first part of that the first part of being smart is knowing what to do we're going to know we're gonna have systems in place that are easier to learn, all right? Complicated to the defense or offense that they're going against, but easy for us to learn. Because when we can put that, because when we can learn our system and we can get good at our system, then our talent can take over. Less thinking equals talent take over, but we need to have systems in place and we will have systems in place to do so. Kind of nailed it.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Yep. We thought it was dumb, and he should have just said, I'm going to have the best 22 guys, and they're going to be better than your 22 guys. But like, he was also viewed as a joke even this season, until he won the Super Bowl, and then he's a champion. Also, Lane technically is a champion as an assistant coach. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:03 True. Not technically. Do it as a head coach. Yeah, with Nick Saban, I wonder who would classify as somebody that you guys would be willing to assign went from joke to no, I remember him now totally as a champion or somebody who was a great leader. Because if Missoula makes that track, like there will not have been very many coaches that have started with oh
Starting point is 00:19:30 I saw that almost get fired in a way with it with a team I knew was talented enough to win I saw where that derailed because the coach was a failure anyways I've waited Andy Reid Yeah, well, but Andy Reid was getting questioned when he was making Super Bowl after Super Bowl. Yeah, but no, I think that's a perfect one. It's a great one. He's going to be remembered as one of the greatest coaches of all time now. Correct. Where there's all of those questions. Like a top five head coach of all time. Yeah. He's shaken the clock management thing. It hasn't been an issue. Well, Mahomes has done that. Yeah. But yes, but Andy Reid was there for the ride,
Starting point is 00:20:06 and that's how he gets to erase it. Paul Maurice in hockey, losing his head coach. Careful, Stu. You're not allowed to talk about that team. I know. Oh, wait. I forgot. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Good call. I said Mahomes did that. That's all I said. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Thank you. It's not working. You got saved.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Two minutes? No, you can stay here. The button's not working. I meant to save. Two minutes? No, you can stay here. The button's not working. I meant to get to this video before and I wasn't able to get to it. I should have. So Mr. Met, we played this earlier this week. He's at a Lumineers concert. What's that bastard up to? And he falls off the stage here and it's just, it's good comedy because mascots make everything better and the head is a cushion that would protect him. Mrs. Mett, find yourself a real man. What's he doing at a Lumineers concert,
Starting point is 00:20:52 falling off a stage? Now Mrs. Mett fell off that stage, she's bounced right back up. Hey! That's actually a pretty good nominee for a guy that has a championship and is considered a joke. Going to the Lumineers concert? I'm stove for stove top man.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Jimbo's up there. Yeah, that's a good one actually. Jimbo's up there. What did I do? You're a good nominee for our game. Person that has success but is considered a joke. A person who's very sexy and is gonna have a new baseball wife soon.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Where, is Jimbo gonna make his way back? Is that over? Is he gonna make his way? Jimbo? Yeah, there's always a pass Where is Jimbo gonna make his way back? Is that over? Is he gonna make his way back? Yeah, there's always a pass back for Jimbo. Why would he ever work again? I'd have a house in the Keys. They always work again. I knew it, Mrs. Metz, always welcome at that house.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Boys, let me tell you what, there's nothing like taking the boat through some of the canals in the Keys and then all of a sudden you see, oh, that's for sure. And ex football coach's house right there. Look at the double, look at the double wide lot. Look at the stilts above it. It's got the 27 footer. He's got the 45 footer. Do you see out there? That's Dana Holgerson's home. Coach Joe for sure down there somewhere causing a ruckus. Dana Holgerson. sure down there somewhere causing a ruckus or at Hogg's heaven where is Holgersson now where the cream turtle in the boat green turtle in Jimmy the big
Starting point is 00:22:13 chill in lower Maddicombe Dan how marker 93 they'll be back Jimmy is the one that lured them all over there right Mike Leach riding his bike they had no idea and then Jimmy's like guys you know this rules if you have money right and they're like, oh we have a ton of money cuz we got fired What do we do? But where? New old faces new places. Where is Holderson next Nebraska Dan? He is the offensive coordinator amazing You guys are telling me that Jimbo is nowhere next season. That he's not gonna go from champion
Starting point is 00:22:48 with the best freshman quarterback I've ever seen to highest paid coach in the entire sport to now just punctuation is as a joke and not gonna work again. Oh, you're calling a joke Dan LePard. Got me a hot baseball wife. She's gonna come give me a lap dance. I mean his final payment is in 2031.
Starting point is 00:23:05 So look for Avon TV for a little bit. And then 2032, we're gonna have a hot commodity. Couple of years off, some college football pregame show in 2029. Head coaching again in 2032. He's selling the bartender. And Portnoy rubbing elbows together on big new kickoff. And then all of a sudden Jimbo's back.
Starting point is 00:23:21 He's telling some bartender somewhere, hold the umbrella. Yeah. That Gilbert's. Mike, can you give me the specifics? I don't know everything happening at Fox Sports. I know that we haven't talked at all about the firing of Craig Carton and Joy Taylor and Emmanuel Ocho, and that now they've got a makeover there. Fox has been having trouble since Jamie Horowitz left there.
Starting point is 00:23:43 And they are now making over the entire thing and what are they doing with their big noon kickoff that is now legitimately rivaling one of the biggest sports studio shows there's ever been ESPN College game day. This is all according to media reports it doesn't seem like it's finalized but headed to that direction where Dave Portnoy joins the cast of Big Noon Saturday And it's a part of a overarching deal where FS1 would rely on Barstool for a lot of its daily content as a cable sports network. So that is a giant giant achievement for Barstool, and it's where the country has shifted in terms of,
Starting point is 00:24:30 and the business has shifted where these giant companies have to go outside of themselves in order to find something that reaches young people because they don't know how to do it on their own. These big- It's also expensive to create your own content and I think as some of these networks are finding, even if you commit a lot of money and salary
Starting point is 00:24:53 to a Pat McAfee, if you have a licensing agreement, the overhead is actually more cost effective on their books than planning out budgets for original content. But what, is the report that Portnoy's just gonna be on the show? That's a report that he's going to be a part of Big Noon Saturday. And then they might create a show I saw with him and Big Cat.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Yeah, because they have a popular Barstool College football kickoff program that's been exclusively on social media and online. And if FS1 does a co-branded thing, they can, it's kind of like the McAfee model. This exists already and we're just gonna put some FS1. That's a great idea. I am legitimately surprised in 2025
Starting point is 00:25:40 to see these giant entities like Fox and Disney have to figure out a way to go outside of their own talent pools in order to rent the audiences of others. But why are you surprised? Mike's saying it's easier, it's more affordable, it's the right way to go. And John Skipper tried to do it like 10 years ago
Starting point is 00:25:56 and it fired them after an episode. That is correct and I'm still legitimately surprised to see the proliferation of having to do it outside because you can't do it for yourself. Fox has had a long time to build what they've built over there, not just inside sports, but outside of sports as well. And Fox's initial foray into this environment was to go get Skip Bayless and to go get Colin Cowherd because they don't actually know how to build their own young thing that reaches young people. It's not just them.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Nick Wright is responsible for, I think, the highest rated show on their network and he was a star that was cultivated and developed by FS1, he's a legacy talent over there, but this is not a new concept. And I don't know why people don't think this, maybe it's because it's not an outrageous personality like Pat McAfee or even Borsal.
Starting point is 00:26:49 What's the biggest daytime block in the history of ESPN? Daytime. It's part of the interruption. That was a licensed show. They outsourced that to Eric Rydholm. That entire four o'clock hour around the horn for 20 plus years being a staple
Starting point is 00:27:05 that wasn't created by ESPN they trusted Eric Ridehome to do it so it's not a new concept. Oh but wait a minute what you're describing there isn't something that was already built and you have to go get the audience that's hiring somebody to build something for you it's fair enough but it's a similar concept but it's still not their idea I mean they started to outsource it it's them punting on we've taken several shots at trying to create something, let someone else do it for us. It's still surprising to me that content companies would have to farm out the content. It's allowed to be surprising to me. These are giant content. Disney's pretty big. They're pretty good at making content.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Yeah, but a lot of young people getting into this business, into this industry now, Dan, they're doing it on their own. And if they become successful and have a huge following like Barstool and like Portnoy, there's an opportunity for them to partner with someone like Fox. I mean, that's just the way it is.
Starting point is 00:27:57 But it sounds like I'm complaining about it. I'm allowed to be surprised that content companies need the help, giant mainstream content companies need the help, a giant mainstream content companies need the help to reach young people because of how much everyone's habits have changed and how much the culture has shifted. But like FS1 did that years ago when they hired Katie Nolan. She was popular on the internet
Starting point is 00:28:18 and then they tried to bring her in and put her on a show with Regis and then she went over to ESPN. When ESPN tried to do the same thing with her, like it's not new. Oh, but it's sort of my point. Katie Nolan did it where she was, they tried to do it with her and they failed.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Now people will accuse them of trying to do it with McAfee and all the others. You mentioned Barstool yourself lasted one day there because they didn't know how to deal with it, because Skipper didn't know how to deal with the conundrums that come with going outside and all of a sudden having to rent your voices as opposed to owning them.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Why just survive back to school when you can thrive by creating a space that does it all for you, no matter the size. Whether you're taking over your parents' basement or moving to campus, Ikea has hundreds of design ideas and affordable options to compliment any budget. After all, you're in your small space era. It's time to own it. Shop now at IKEA.ca.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Don Lebatard! Did you watch me at NCC? I was all ACC. I don't have necessarily the mobility, but no one can see over the line like me. Michael, the ACC network job is a good job. It's a stable job. I'm ready to pack it in. I've got a lot of good football left in me. My footwork is underrated. I can step up in the pocket with the best of luck.
Starting point is 00:29:38 No one can stand in the field like me. But wouldn't it be nice to be around the family more often and not have to worry about any injuries? Babe, just give me one more season. Stugats. Tell you what, I'm not going to therapy. I'm not. Therapy is not happening. Sorry. You need to work on you. There's one person pulling the rope for this family right here and it's Mike Glennon. This is the Don LeBathardt Show with the StuGards. Is your list just people? Because like the white socks and the red socks.
Starting point is 00:30:16 That's very good. Let me be clear. Well, Jack sock is where it started, but let me be clear. This is Jess's list. I was just helping around. All right. Let's do this then top five top five in in honor of Bill Lackman and
Starting point is 00:30:30 Jack sock in honor of Andy Roddick's podcast you got served We have top five athletes who can note laundry names that can note laundry Do we have an OLI or we just have the top five? Well let's say top five sports entities sports names Dan because OLI, Billy, black sorry white socks and red socks. And there may be one other non-person in the top five. All right so that's very exciting. Let's see. Let's go. Okay number five Ben Sheets Number four the Crimson Tide Number three James Washington
Starting point is 00:31:20 Get it cuz wash yeah, we got it. Come on number two Jack sock Get it, cause wash. Yeah, we got it. Come on. Number two, Jack Sock. Jack Sock also on the top five list for athletes whose name Kenotes jerking off. Jack Sock. Wait a minute, is that another list?
Starting point is 00:31:36 I think we need to produce that list. I think that might be a better list than this one. I'm getting to it. Number one, Dan Freddryer. Wow, no Hank Baskets. I mean. Ooh, ah! All right.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Jam. Jessica, thank you for being on with us. We will talk to you later. Bye. I want that list. I want the list. I wanna see if we could get the Jack Sock list going. Rolly Fingers.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Do you guys have any, that was quick Billy. Do you guys. Oral Roberts. Tug McGraw. Matt Hardy. You guys wanted this game more. Do you got. Bill Pullman. Ooh. Dick pulls too easy come on. on. An old standard, look, you cannot live so many years that you get hardened to Dick Pole. Dick Pole always has to be funny as a name. Dick Pole, there has to be somebody in our audience hearing for the first time that there was a race car driver named Dick Pole, correct? There has to be, there was a race car driver named Dick Pohl, correct?
Starting point is 00:32:45 There has to be, there is a person listening to this who does not know that, correct? Reggie Tong. Lewis Lips. Mo Cheeks. It's a good game. Fred Dildo. Where'd he play?
Starting point is 00:33:03 Dick Pohl was also not a race car driver, he was a baseball coach. Dick Trickle not a race car driver, he was a baseball coach. Dick Trickle was a race car driver. My bad. You know what, that's an egregious defense. Dick Paul was the pitching coach for the Phillies. I cannot believe he did that. That is an egregious offense.
Starting point is 00:33:16 Freddie Dildo was a driver. Xfinity series, though, barely counts. I really wish we had let the silence sit a little more on Fred dildo Freddy He changed his name. He went got his name legally changed. Yeah He was so embarrassed by his name that he changed it from Fred to Freddy It's like how we're not making friends anymore. That's what they always say on the LeBataire show So you think just to be clear, that Fred Dildo went
Starting point is 00:33:53 into the offices to get his name changed because he was so embarrassed by everyone calling him Fred Dildo. It was Frederick at the top. That's actually one of Roy's check-in names at a hotel. Ooh, really? Is he still doing that? Jack Spade? I don't believe so.
Starting point is 00:34:11 I learn things around here. Do you know how shocking it was to learn, and I know you guys have talked about it before, that Jeremy's now wife thought that he was talking to LeBron James when he told her for the first time that he loved her it's a shocking thing to learn it doesn't it doesn't even make sense Roy checking into a hotel with the name Jack Spade to protect his anonymity seems to be cheating on his wife like what's that
Starting point is 00:34:43 about there's a lot of people going around I I wonder where Roy Bellamy is staying today. Thank you for bringing up cheating. Do you guys have the video of the Coldplay concert that people, this has to be a mortification to any of you cheaters out there who have seen others on the internet cheating and then you get to see when they're put up on the screen that they shouldn't be together.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Yeah, there it is. This has never happened to me, but I feel like I would try to play it cooler than this couple did. Yeah, you gotta play it cooler than that. You gotta stay in trash. I think this guy, he did my elevator move. Like, let's replay it. This guy's like, I'm just gonna go down here.
Starting point is 00:35:19 I'm gonna. He just. He just. All right, for the audio audience. So on a big screen at a concert, a couple is holding each other, the man behind the woman holding her around the waist, and she is holding his arms as they are around her waist. And as soon as the camera catches them and they realize they're on camera, she turns
Starting point is 00:35:39 one way, turns her back to the camera, and then he slips from the screen as if he's done it a thousand times. He immediately disappears from the camera shot But there was a stairwell but goes but goes down even though the floor hasn't moved. He totally disappears down It's an odd choice I would have been surprised more only if he had disappeared by going straight up into the air and never reemerge it down Where does he go? He's just like, I'm going to go hide down here. He gets his arms up afterwards. Like Daniel Bryan does the yes motion.
Starting point is 00:36:10 No, that's a different guy. Dan, there's something here that you guys haven't seen, though, yet. Obviously, this is a situation of infidelity. Please look to your left, where the lady who is there with them, obviously knowing that something is up here, look at her shade of red and look at her face. She knows something's up, she knows,
Starting point is 00:36:28 she's with the infidelity. Oh my God, she knows. Yep, uh-huh, she was there, she's a part of it. You are correct, Tony. I love the guy just going down. So good. Well, like, it was also, we're not playing with sound, but like, in a portion of the show,
Starting point is 00:36:44 we're like, I guess they go to the crowd and Chris Martin serenades people. So he was starting to serenade them. And then he saw the reaction, he goes, oh, that might've been an affair. And then that's when the lady on the side is like, oh, oh. All right, let me chronicle a number
Starting point is 00:36:58 of different things here, because this is funny for a number of reasons. Hearing in your ears while you're looking at your friend talking out of the side of your face trying not to look at the camera, the lead singer saying, oh, that might've been an affair. Like the last thing I think you'd want him to say.
Starting point is 00:37:14 It's a nightmare. This whole thing is a nightmare for these people that we are laughing at and- How should I feel about this? Cause I feel bad for them. Freeze frame it. There it is. That right there is the realization.
Starting point is 00:37:26 That is a life flashing before your eyes right there. It gets worse though because the internet has found out who these people are. So now we know exactly who they are. We know where they work, it's not good. Their roles. Okay, so same company. Lest you think that we underestimate some of the decisions
Starting point is 00:37:43 we make around here when laughing, we have ruined the lives of those people. They did it first, the internet got it first. They did it to themselves. If we broke this story, I would feel responsible. That is the rationalization that we use when we feel comfort at laughing at people. We didn't discover this.
Starting point is 00:37:58 No, no, no, I'm just saying that their lives will be ruined by this, or they will feel like their lives are ruined. Or they were in a dark place and now they'll be free. Let's go back to laughing at it. I like that. And let's go back to examining. Because there are two things here
Starting point is 00:38:12 I want to point out to you guys, okay? The first thing I want to point out to you is not just what Billy was pointing out. The woman who is ashamed turns her back to us, but you could see how red her face is even though you can't see her face. Her shoulders get red. You can't see the entirety of her face. You could feel how red her face is even though you can't see her face. Like your shoulders get red. You can't see the entirety of her face.
Starting point is 00:38:27 You could feel the redness. But you can tell that she is at the height of mortification embarrassment. Her face could not be any redder and her friend is covering her own face. So keep rolling the video now. I'll tell you when to stop it. But you will see them red faced as well. Both of them red faced from the side. Both of them red-faced from the side. Oh, that friend.
Starting point is 00:38:47 Yes. She's like the friend. She knows. Yep. She just like, she didn't like that it was happening. She doesn't like it. She seems to be enjoying it though. Well, she's just like, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Oh, Wade has lifted off her shoulder for sure. Yes. Now she doesn't have to be the one to tell anyone about anything. She's gonna have answers. She's gonna have a lot of questions coming her way though. Yeah, exactly. From the wife and the husband.
Starting point is 00:39:07 She knows the husband so it's still awkward. Like, she feels, I'm, she's, weight has been lifted but she's still like, oh no. A lot of tough answers. Yeah. Now, but when you pull back from the horror of this, the thing that I want to keep watching here is the thing that has already been pointed out that fooled Mike. Let's keep rolling this and you see the people who take the opportunity to get on camera and now clue no but now they're a part of a giant viral video and celebrating it as if they're a part of a giant viral video. Where'd he go? I don't know. No but
Starting point is 00:39:37 the other guy appearing the other guy appearing in a way that it made it look to Mike like that guy had gone from profound profound shame to disappearing and Reemerging make it. I'm gonna make it look like I was just in the background and he's just like yeah Yeah, weird board meeting What is going to happen to the the lives of these people now that the internet is laughing at them? You know the answer that dance always a bad thing when the internet is laughing Well had they not reacted that way too. They probably got in the way with the Infidelity of it, you know just like start kissing this would not be on the internet
Starting point is 00:40:11 We wouldn't have seen these people know would have found out who they were and you just kind of hope hey I hope no one that knows us was at that concert and if they were and they're like hey were you uh With the chief of course like no Disgusting think that guy guy burns his blue shirt after. Like, I don't have a blue shirt. No, it wasn't me. That hand placement was not good. That was like a not good.
Starting point is 00:40:32 That wasn't like a first date. No. This was like, we finally have a moment together. If they were playing the scientist, though, you kind of understand. That right there is going to be very difficult to explain away with it's not what it looked like. This COO is salivating at this situation though. He's like, opportunity.
Starting point is 00:40:54 The guy does worse. Like the woman at least just turns around. She's like, let me get my back out here. Like, I still want, like, I wish we would have seen him awkwardly just get back up. The better camera angle We now want better camera angles on this would be to check in with him as he's on his hands and knees on the floor And you just ask him how's your dignity doing right now pretty good. We in the clear
Starting point is 00:41:16 Sidelined reporter doing this Like his hands are on the info asphalt Peanut shells it's dirty and he's looking up at the- A Coke spilled, it's sticky, he's like, ah. And he's looking up and he's saying to himself, oh my God, my instantaneous reaction was to admit to the crime by disappearing down. This could have been explained a way of just,
Starting point is 00:41:38 we're just dancing. We're just swaying. Let's play that hand, bro. Good friend. We're just swaying. We just got off. Let's play that hand. Good friend. Good swaying. We just got lost. She fell back. But then when you.
Starting point is 00:41:49 The reaction is too much. When you immediately go down an escalator. It's never a good sign. It'll never come back. What if it was clocks? These people would do very poorly, the two of them, in an interrogation. Because Billy is so right on, do you know how many
Starting point is 00:42:06 Jumbotron affairs have gone unnoticed by everyone because people had the sense to react slightly better than that. We, and shout out to Greg Cotter. We used to be a proper country. These things could have happened and nobody knew you didn't say anything. There won't be nothing. That's it. Put my hand around the girl.
Starting point is 00:42:23 I'm out. I'm in. I'm out. Bam, bam, bam. Now you can't, now I can't even do anything I can't even without being on the floor and your hands and knees and the sticky stuff hey
