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

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

This is the Don LeBattor Show with the Stugatz Podcast. God bless football.

Please support the things that Stugatz and Billy are doing. I want to put a few things in front of Zaslow, who is a judge, a journalist, a lawyer, a race war expert, and a doctor. Right now I'd like to speak to the judge if that's okay. You have something that you have to go to you need a costume okay you have all rise the honorable Jonathan Zaslow now presiding with prejudice all right so we have imaging here on on a prejudiced judge John Zaslow does anyone call you John earlier that you decide to call me? I see there. He's got to switch headphones Yeah, switch because he's got a he's got judge. Okay, he's got a thing

He's got to put in his head. Okay, cuz he is a judge dread What year was that movie rise the honorable Jonathan Zaslow now presiding with prejudice? What what what movie what year is judge dread a Sylvester Stallone movie? 1995 the year I was born. Okay, very good. Was he ever a Johnny? Were you ever a Johnny as a kid? Nope. Really, never?

Nope, nice try. Why not? Wait, nice try, it's not a trick, it's just a question. Nice try. Is Mike Ryan allowed to root for Florida Panther Brad Marshon next year? Okay, so Brad Marshon signed a six-year deal. Great day for the Panthers. Great day for the Panther fan. But Mike Ryan has been saying that Marshand is dead to him.

He doesn't even want him on the team and now apparently Mike Ryan said he's okay with it? Is that what happened? It seems like he's okay with it? Is that what happened? It seems like he's okay with it. You're not really answering the question. You're asking- I'm trying to gather evidence here. More information, okay. So, yes, he's back on the bandwagon.

He's back on the bandwagon, and he wants back on to enjoy Brad Marshawn's career. All right, so again, what's the charge? Is Mike Ryan allowed to root for Brad Marshawn's career. All right, so again, what's the charge? Is Mike Ryan allowed to root for Brad Marshawn next year? Mike Ryan is allowed to root for Brad Marshawn. There's no timetable on how long it takes for you to come around on a player. It didn't take him that long.

I'm willing to look past it. He is allowed to root for Brad Marshann now. He is. I rule always with Precious. Is Greg Cody allowed to roll up or leave a funeral playing Beach Boys music too loudly in his car? Greg Cody claims that this was a bonding point between him and the deceased. It's very rare that someone would pull up to a funeral with not only music blasting from the car, but Beach Boys Surfing USA blasting from the car. Can you tell me again what the charge is? The charge is, is Greg Cody allowed to leave or go to a funeral playing Beach Boys too loud in his car?

Okay, I know what the charge is and he is Guilty he is not allowed to do that. It's disrespectful to the deceased to pull up with music Blasting and then you claim that this was a bonding point very disrespectful to the deceased to pull up with music blasting and then you claim that this was a bonding point. Very disrespectful with prejudice. It'd be like if I was jamming to Pearl Jam with you past. That's not allowed?

Like why can't I, I would wanna celebrate you. It depends. Does everybody know that this was a place that we bonded? What do you mean it depends? Of course it depends. Because did anybody know that Greg Cody and the deceased that this was a place that we bonded? What do you mean it depends? Of course it depends, because did anybody know that Greg Cody and the deceased, that this was a bonding point? Sounds like it's Greg's word against everybody.

They didn't know, and then he informed them. No, no, you need proof. He's guilty. Sometimes the way Zaslow enunciates words, it rattles around inside my skull a little bit. Does that happen to you guys? What are you talking about? Yeah, put it on the poll at Levitard Show.

Does the way Zaslow pronounces words rattle around in your skull a little bit? Not guilty. The timing on this and the way that this is played out is simply incredible because there is a possibility that there's someone who is at home watching with two televisions, who on one television is watching Judge Zaslow and him telling us

whether or not Greg Cody can play Beach Boys and Mike can be a Panthers fan. And on the other one, the jury verdict is in on the Diddy trial, which is a real trial. And that is going to be, that will be read soon. So while one of the bigger trials in pop culture in our time is being read, we are now levying verdicts on whether or not Greg Cody can play Beach Boys while you're wearing a helmet. I thought you

were gonna say as one of the bigger verdicts is being rendered we also wait for the Diddy verdict. I thought is what you were going to do there because this is the most important verdict and I've got one more question for Zazz before I go to Jessica. I'll allow it. Thank you. Judge Johnny. A lot of people are still coming after me because I made the mistake immediately after the Stanley Cup final of confusing Sam Reinhart and Sam Bennett. My excuse is that there are not that many great Sams in sports. At Levitard Show, put it up on the poll, are there any great Sams? Can you be great at sports if your name is Sam and who is the most famous of the Sams in sports?

Sammy Sosa would like a word. Okay, that's tainted. What? Whoa. What'll you do? Sammy Sosa is a bit tainted and it's Sammy. Sammy is different. Like Fred and Freddie are different in terms of athletic greatness.

All right, yeah, no, you're right. Ed and Eddie are different. Sammy is different. Like Fred and Freddie are different in terms of athletic greatness. Ed and Eddie are different. The one syllable hurts people. If I throw a Y on it, Bill will tell you. Bill Gill will tell you. You need that Y on the end. Is it a forgivable mistake that I confuse the two Sams, is the question for Judge Zaslow. Sam Bennett won the Con Smythe, a very prestigious award. Sam Reinhardt scored four goals in the Stanley Cup clinching game. They both have the same first name. Yeah we covered all that. Quiet in the court. It's your gavel. Quiet in the court. It was quiet.

Quiet in the court. I will throw you right out. Like I was saying. Confusing Sam Bennett for Sam Reinhardt is a disgrace. Oh no. And I rule with the most prejudice possible. It's unforgivable. Damn love, it's unforgivable.

Oh no. Forgivable. Sam Bradford, Sam Cassell, and Jessica's boy, Sam Hartman, Sam Presti. Is the best of the Sams, Sam Bradford? Court adjourned. It sure seems like it. Sam Madison.

I can't believe I didn't get to, not a lot of Hall of Famers there, Sam Madison's a good one, but I mean, they're not a lot of. Sam Snead. Sam Uess. My God. Sam Mor Morrell Sam Malone can you Sam Malone is also a good one we have not gotten the red panda getting

hurt last night ran a red panda for those of you who are not familiar he's a basketball icon this is as famous of entertainment as you will find anywhere in the sports experience correct if I ask you the most famous of entertainment as you will find anywhere in the sports experience correct if I ask you the most famous of the sports experience entertainers ah that never happens to red panda how hurt was she well apparently according to Ben Pickman from the athletic former co-worker of mine actually from sports illustrated she was wheeled off in a wheelchair and was seen leaving in an ambulance and it appeared that she may have hurt her wrist, which I

mean you can see there she's waving and you know is walking off under her own accord, but really sad. Kind of put a damper on the whole evening. Obviously everyone was talking about this as being the big injury from the Fever Lynx game in the Commissioner's Cup, Red Panda. A wheelchair for a wrist? big injury from the fever links game in the commissioners cup red panda wheelchair for a risk it was a bit of a joke that the joke is that caitlin clark was also out but you guys don't really watch the wb so i was wondering what i'm not home got it i was wondering what your thoughts were on mike ryan uh... yesterday had a lot of thoughts about whether or not he's

allowed to hate and i'm not really correct all these soft women say you can't make fun of female athletes anymore. He's absolutely right to hate on an athlete that already gets a disproportionate amount of hate without even watching her games. He's absolutely right. He said irrational. Do people not get that? Irrationally. It means no ration. Tony, I love your work. Absolutely. You are spot on. Thank you, Ms. Sgt. Spain, somebody finally said it.

You are far-harned. I mean, I do enjoy the idea of, I'm allowed to hate, right, as long as it's irrational. I'm saying it's irrational, so allow me to hate. The qualifier's there, irrationally. So just allow me to hate. I'll just say this, it was a bad look for Mike yesterday, and I am just referring to the mustache, okay?

We don't even have to go further than that. We really don't. It is a terrible mustache. Can you guys give me some of the information on Bezos' wedding that people are protesting in Venice? Because I know that the wealth disparity right now throughout the globe is something that a lot of people are now paying attention to. And Bezos is doing something so grotesquely opulent around his wedding

that you have people in a city that is used to tourists who are deeply offended by him bringing all of his American money to Venice and essentially just buying the city for his wedding. They used it as a means to be concerned with the general overtourism in Venice, and this was a perfect example. So this was in San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. But based on projections by Forbes, it cost $25 million for the wedding.

Guests paid approximately $900,000 each for their three night stays at luxury hotels based on the projections. Those including Oprah Winfrey, Gail King, Orlando Bloom, basically every Kardashian, Carly Kloss, Leonardo DiCaprio, Usher, and Tom Brady. They rented 30 private water taxis to escort guests around the city,

estimated to cost about $270,000 in water travel for their guests alone. The wedding was catered by three Michelin star chef Fabrizio Mejino. It's not important. Based on restaurant's costs for number of guests. Over a million dollars in food and beverage. Security costs a few million dollars

for the high profile guests. Andrea Bocelli's son, Matteo Bocelli, sang at the ceremony. He sang Can't Help Falling in Love. Ellie Golding was hired to reportedly perform at the reception. Sanchez's corseted mermaid style wedding dress was custom designed by Dolce & Gabbana

and featured hand applied Italian lace. Before Friday's celebration, Sanchez herself made her way to San G, whatever it was, dressed in a 60s inspired Taylor White skirt designed by Dior for the wedding dinner. Why? That was a lot of info.

I still wanted more. Could have used less. Three days, $900,000 for the hotels. You cover that if you're Bezos, right? Yes, no one, Oprah did not pay to go to Jeff Bezos' wedding. He said that they did. A million dollars. Those estimates, by the way, like I'm not questioning Jeremy at all,

but like when everything is reported estimates, it's like that thing when the Super Bowl's economic impact is $30 billion to a city and it's like, yeah, we still can't pay for school. So where'd all that money go? They did the math in the article. I don't think any of that is real. I just figured I was gonna get too many details.

You just say anything is projected this, projected that, and then it buys you time. Yeah, I project that little Havana's gonna be revitalized by Marlin's Park, okay. I think there's a urologist office in the parking garage and that's it. It, he's the richest guy on the planet and you want him to have a cheap wedding?

Tony, oh boy. No, no, no. Talk about missing the point. No, but I'm asking, like, you want him to have a cheap wedding or do you want? It would have been hilarious like not too much dollar way. I can't spend that. Sorry The breath out the ballroom. We're so so doomed Dan. I have nothing to say on that You have Jeff Bezos a loping and getting married by an Elvis impersonator at a chapel in Vegas on a Wednesday night at midnight.

He went $25 million, that was lower than I thought it would be given what it is that I was reading about the details on it. But. Dan, would you go if you were invited? Would you? No. Would you? What? That's not, come on.

You would not go to that. A who's who of celebrities, you wouldn't and again go why not if I don't know Jeff Bezos so what either does Sydney Sweeney exactly celebrities no Bezos and her Tom Brady or can do to learn so rich We can invite whoever we want who are the coolest celebrities that make us look cool by them hanging out at our wedding weekend I'm picturing like just a friend of Jeff's back in the day that like didn't get invited and he's just like what? Orlando Bloom You'd go that's the other interesting thing Chris Cody is that Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry announced like a week ago that they were splitting up and Katy Perry apparently was

Not allowed to go to the wedding and Orlando Bloom got to go to the wedding So I don't know how that conversation went down. He won the front face off Yeah, we know we're just things. Katy Perry flew on his rocket like a month ago with Gail King. So somehow Orlando Bloom still won the Bezos wedding invite in the split up. Docket.

Billy, it was moving very quickly there. So I don't know who it is that you accused of canoodling. Was it Tom Brady with somebody? And Sydney Sweeney. Yeah, those were the reports that they were, they were spending a lot of time talking to each other at the nuptials. You haven't seen those reports? I have not.

I saw a different report already. Oh, you would have seen it in person had you gone. But you took a moral stand against Jeff Bezos for some reason. Like Leonardo DiCaprio, climate activist. He wore a hat, right? That's crazy. That's just his move whenever there's paparazzi around.

I saw photos of him in the wedding without the hat, but just like, dude, we know it's you, Leo. Yeah. Like, what do you like? He's always just like, no one knows it's me. Did you guys see, like, I don't know if you guys, like, felt as bad as I did for Leo recently, but it's been rough times for Leo.

Like, he recently got in a relationship with a 27 year old. I saw that Billy. He broke his 25 year old rule. Everyone's saying that it's a recession indicator. Yeah. It's scary. It's hard times for poor Leo, you know? Where are you guys on the Bezos wedding other than asking me whether or not I would go?

All of you would go? All of you if you had to pay your own way. Cause keep in mind, you just said $900,000 for three days. You had, these celebrities are paying for things. You didn't make it free for me. Pay your own way because keep in mind you just said nine hundred thousand dollars for three days you had These celebrities are paying for things you didn't make it free for me. They didn't pay for that then Oprah didn't pay Pay for anything yeah, they don't pay for anything, but that's not what Jeremy said It's fine that you guys can want your own set of facts, but it's not what Jeremy said Jeremy Jeremy Jeremy said that the estimated cost of being an attendee is around a million dollars.

Estimated. That doesn't mean that they covered their own costs. I would also like to add that you said you wouldn't go because you're not his friend, but are you open to being his friend and perhaps going to the next wedding? I would not pay. Again, you guys aren't, I heard what.

No, no, the question is would you go, not would you pay. It's all expenses paid, Dan. Would you go? All expenses paid, would you go? Maybe for the story. Okay. It is not clear whether the couple was paying for the guest rooms,

but two wedding planners say it's standard for ultra lux events like this. So, seems like they paid for the weddings. I love how we're all acting like Oprah couldn't foot that bill. I think it'd be fine. I'm not acting like Oprah couldn't foot that bill. I think it'd be fine. I'm not acting like Oprah can't foot that bill. I'm saying $900,000 for three days seems like a big bill to land on somebody when you're

inviting them to your wedding. Across the globe too. That's also the classic, would you take $250,000 for dinner with Jay-Z? Imagine all the contacts you can make at the Bezos Sanchez nuptials. True. You think that you're sidling up to DiCaprio in that cap and walking away friends with him?

Yeah, I mean, I think that everybody there thinks that everybody there is somebody. They may not know who you are, but if they don't know who you are, you actually might be the most popular person there because they're like, well, who's that guy? Do you have? Like, I know, that's Gigi Hadid, I know who that is. But who's that guy?

The friend of his that did get invited, do you have that guy going around pitching ideas? Like I got a movie idea for Leo, I got this idea. Yeah, like cousin Jim Bezos. It's just Stugats. Right, a bunch of Stugats. It's just Stugats walking up to people. Hey Leo, you wanna come on my podcast?

That's Tahoe. That's right, we don't know if we're going to Tahoe yet, but we will let you know when it is that Stugats knows. Why do you keep saying we? It's more like they are going to Tahoe. I mean, it's always been they go to Tahoe. I went actually one. I got a text about Tahoe last night,

that's all I'm gonna say. Congratulations, we still don't know. Billy, you've got more information on Tahoe than Billy has. It seems so, yeah. I wanted to ask Jeremy if there were any other Bezos facts that they're worth knowing or if we've scarred you. He's gotten all of them wrong so far. Nope.

Okay, good work by you. What did you think about Travis Kelsey's comments, Jessica, on the hardest part about? Hosting Saturday Night Live which he did very well, right? He had no issues hosting and no one had any complaints about what a natural he was but he said the hardest part of Hosting SNL was the pre-show table read because quote. I can't really read that well Well, it made me think of this show specifically because A, we know you love SNL Dan, and B, we have producers who, when we have to do reads,

we constantly screw up because of the pressure of reading. Sometimes reading in front of a group can be hard. So I found this very relatable, and it honestly made me think of Chris Cote. So I wanted to talk about it. It also made me think of me. Jeremy, how did you hold up with how it is that you were reading those Bezos facts,

because I know you, like Whittingham, are very particular about every single stumble, and then you had one stumble, and then more of them arrived after that. Yeah, thanks for pointing that out. Jess makes a good point, which is it's tough to read in front of a group, except I would bet it's easier to do so

in front of the SNL people because they probably don't seize on every single time that you misspeak. So it's more difficult to do it here, Chris. So good for you. We should have Travis Kelsey come to the studio and try to read in the shipping container and ask him which one was harder. That would be a good. That's a great idea. Free idea. Stu gots can get them, right? I'll invoice you for that. Things are tenches today, huh? Free idea. Stu Gotzkin got him, right? Well, not free. I'll invoice you for that.

Things are tenches today, huh? Billy mentioned earlier this week that it does not feel like 4th of July week. I don't know what 4th of July week is supposed to feel like, but he was complaining because he didn't want his national holiday on a Friday. That doesn't happen very much in general, does it? I just want the extra days off. If I get on a Thursday, I can get that Friday off. The Friday feels like a cheat code.

And if I get the Wednesday and I really want to be a bad boy, I can try to stretch that into a Thursday, Friday, maybe Tuesday, half day situation. But just the Friday, like a three day weekend. So you want the week off for 4th of July, really? No, no, no. I'll be there Monday. I'll show up Monday and half a Tuesday in an ideal world.

But now it's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Jessica has a top five list here of the top five worst days for 4th of July to fall on. Do you have an OLI? Any OLI here? I have two OLIs. Two OLIs. Oh wow.

I love this. Go ahead, number seven. Okay, so, OLI Friday. That's the one that's falling on this week. OLI, wow, that's OLI, so that makes it the best day to fall on if, okay. It's the seventh worst, I would say. Okay. Yeah.

And the sixth worst, I would say, is Monday. So the OLIs are in numerical order for you. Typically, my OLIs are just OLIs. We couldn't put a number in and pin them down, you know? Yes, you're doing a top seven. No, it's a top five. That's a top seven. No, no, it's a top five.

No, yeah, we clarified it. Number five. Okay, number five Thursday. Number four. Fifth worst day for the Fourth of July to fall. Number four, Saturday. Fourth worst, because if it falls on a Saturday, do you even get it, I guess you get a day off Friday

at some jobs, that's where you get the federal holiday falls on the, I don't know how that works. Do you? Or a Monday. I don't know. Yeah. I think, so a lot of companies will give like the one bookend of the week off,

but the actual day being on Saturday doesn't do anything for me. Well, it does the fourth worst for me. Is 4th of July something that must have landed on a Saturday or Sunday, but I don't remember it giving another day off during the week to compensate for the fact that the national holiday was on the weekend.

This isn't Christmas. Well, you tell us, Dan. Someone look it up. We have 4th of July on Saturday next year. Are you gonna give us the day off on Friday? No, I'm telling you, we've never had the day before off. Not with this holiday. So we don't just take holidays off willy nilly. Or just days off willy nilly because there's nobody keeping track

of what days you take off. We've got unlimited days off. Yeah, I mean unlimited means unlimited. If you don't want us to take it, give us a number. Yeah, geez. What number are we on, three? unlimited means unlimited. If you don't want us to take it, give us a number. Yeah, geez. What number are we on, three? Three. Tuesday.

Tuesday is just, that's terrible. That would never be good. Exactly. It's the third worst because what do you, go to work Monday and then you get Tuesday off. No, it's a list of the five worst days. I love this list. Oh, this is the worst. My bad, I was not following this. Really?

Number two. Number two. Sunday. No one wants a Sunday, Fourth of July, Dan. But you may get that Monday. The best of the Fourth of July's We haven't determined. days to fall on is

No, no, no, the worst, Dan. The worst day for the Fourth of July. See, you're here with me. Days to fall on is? No, no, no, the worst, Dan. The worst day for the Fourth of July. See? You're here with me. You need to apologize to Chris right now. Number one. I'm waiting for a sorry. Number one. Go to break.

Jeremy, you know something about me, right? You know when I'm grilling outside and it's summertime, you know how I supplement my summertime? Of course I do. I make it Miller time. Of course. That beautiful white can. Oh, and it's summertime, you know how I supplement my summertime? Of course I do. I make it Miller time. Of course. That beautiful white can. Oh, when it's so hot outside, I just put it right to my forehead, right there.

And I just roll it sometimes, right on the forehead, cool my body down, and then I crack it open, in some relief, and then that first sip, brother, does that first sip? That is a top five sequence of events that you can possibly go through. I'm just serenity now when I just imagine that first sip of Miller Lite. Just thinking about it's making me happy. Dude, the sun is out, it's nice, you have your friends showing up,

you got your family there, you just had your first sip of Miller Lite and you know what? You're happy, you're blissful, you're fulfilled. I've been stocking my cooler with Miller Lite for years and for good reason. It's brewed for taste. Only 96 calories and 3.2 grams of carbs.

Roy, you know that moment when you're out watching puck and the server comes over and asks the table, what can I get you guys? And everyone freezes up. You know what you should do? What should I do, Mike? You've got to have some confidence.

Or as Jägermeister calls it, shot-fidence. I love it. If everyone's struggling, take control. Just order for the whole table a round of ice cold Jägermeister shots. Damn, that's cold. Because apparently, we've all been drinking Jägermeister wrong. Well, how should we be drinking it?

We should be drinking it ice cold. At 0 degrees Fahrenheit, Roy, drinking Jägermeister wrong. Well, how should we be drinking it? We should be drinking it ICE COLD! At zero degrees Fahrenheit, Roy, like Jägermeister, what else is infinitely better ice cold? The sport of hockey, Mike. It's in the name! It's ice hockey! Ice hockey! Yes, regular hockey, not as great. Not floor hockey.

Ice hockey, real good. Damn right. Wherever you are, if you're hanging with friends or at the bar, call the shots. Cheers with ice cold shots of Jägermeister. Damn that's cold.

Shot for Dince. Mass Jägermeister US White Plains New York. Shackledence! Hey friends, it's Jerr Bear here, and I'm here to tell you all about Boost Mobile, which

is now a legit nationwide 5G network. So I must take a break from the jokes here for a second and put on my serious voice. Because I would never ever joke about a 5G network that has invested billions building 5G towers across the country. Not even once. Not even if Mr. Boost Mobile himself asked me to. There is nothing funny about it. Boost Mobile is now a legit nationwide 5G network and also provides coverage across 99% of America. Seriously. Visit BoostMobile.com or your nearest Boost Mobile store location to learn more.

The Boost Mobile network, together with our roaming partners, covers 99% of the U.S. population. 5G speeds not available in all areas. Don Lebatard. I don't like smutty either. Stugats. Women stay home in the kitchen where they belong. This is the Don Lebatard Show with the Stugats. Virtually everyone in here and everyone listening to this is more internet savvy than I am.

So the question I'm about to ask, I ask with great vulnerability. As often I say things about the internet and you guys ravage me like piranha, I often feel like I'm swimming naked in the Amazon around piranha when we talk about the internet. I want to know what is happening on a couple of fronts. One, what is happening to information on the internet

with AI that makes it so that a simple Google search that I now do is more complicated and more susceptible to misinformation than it has been in the history of Google. And furthermore, on my phone, I am getting an exasperating amount of I am not a robot exercises that I have to go to identifying buses, and crosswalks, and motorcycles, and it's never just one or two. I have to do it several times and furthermore, get confused sometimes. Is that guy's head a part of the motorcycle? The rear view mirrors in the motorcycle motorcycle when in doubt click it does that well

But I just want to know why this is happening to me Why am I getting five and six of these instead of one just when I want to google search and then sometimes you click I'm not a robot and it just kind of accepts it Do you ever wonder what would happen if you said I am a robot that should be an option I feel like Tom Cruise and his crew from Minority Report, like they show up at your door when you click on I am a robot. Well wouldn't you be clicking I am a robot by just consistently getting wrong where the bus is and the crosswalks and the motorcycles?

It sounds like you are if you're getting five of those that think you're getting them wrong. It thinks you're a robot, Dan. Fine, but like what happens when you, it figures out you're a robot. I want to know why it is that I'm not getting immediate access after the first time. Is it because I'm getting it wrong that I'm clicking on a rear view mirror? That's not a part of the motorcycle technically in what it is. I'm supposed to be proving that I'm not a robot to me. I'm always over guessing. So it's like, if the, the toe is on the line, like I'm not a robot. To me, I'm always over guessing. So it's like, if the toe is on the line, like I'm going towards saying it's a piece of a bicycle or a bus or whatever it might be,

because if you're even questioning it, that normally ends up getting you through to the website. Do we not think that the computers can kind of figure that out too? Like, is this the best thing we have to block AI and computers and like the digital age to get to that website or get whatever information that is I look forward to whatever the evolution of that is where the computers figure

out it's a crosswalk here I still am not getting a good answer though for usually when you guys do I am NOT a robot it's one test and then you get to where it is that you want to go Yeah, I'm good at that. So you guys are telling me that I'm answering incorrectly the first time, and that's why I'm getting four or five. You guys are telling me that the moment I answer correctly, I'm gonna stop getting I am not a robot screen.

Sometimes you get two. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Where you're getting them right. Five. What if you're getting things wrong? Yeah, if you're getting more than two, I would think you're getting something wrong. To Zazz's point, Zazz, I don't know if in all of the hats that you wear, if you're a lawyer,

you're a lawyer in any of these things that you do? Yes, yeah. Okay. How do you think I became a judge? I don't know. Gotta be a lawyer first. Appointee, I don't know, it's possible. Nah, dog.

Okay, well, I'm just asking a question. I'm trying to give you here. It's just insulting for someone who went to school to be a lawyer and then you question if they're actually a lawyer. I'm trying to give you game changing, life changing suggestions here for you. An industry that I don't think has existed.

Yesterday we were talking about jobs that we didn't know existed. I was talking about theme park journalists. I didn't realize that that was a job. And I think that there's a job out there that hasn't been invented yet and I think that you qualify for it as someone who is a lawyer, which I wasn't sure.

I think that you can be the lawyer that represents robot discrimination. We're trying to keep robots out of all these things, robots aren't getting their fair shake, someone needs to stand up for these robots. At some point a lawsuit will be fired on behalf of a robot That was not allowed into a thing because they could not identify all the traffic lights And I feel like that could be your lane so stupid. I don't even know just say all right

You're missing a big opportunity here by the way because not only that in the advanced age of AI and robots guess who helps them You right as they turn on humanity. Now wait, Zazz is a good one. Look, it's close on Zazz. He's an idiot. He turned down a golden opportunity. Me and you start a robo-firm. That's fine, me and you.

I like that. We don't need a law. Firmware. Wow. I'm out. Okay, good, we don't want you anyways. Billion dollar deal. You're not a real lawyer either.

See ya. We'll be at Jeff Bezos next one. You won't be. I don't even know that robots deal with real money And that's why I'm out buddy. You heard a crypto ever heard a Bitcoin. That's not even real. That's not real how banks work It's all digital now catch up Jack heroes, buddy. Who you're going away the VHS loser Let me get some sound here from Paul Feinbaum. He is touting, and this is a really fun thing to do

at the beginning of July, because I remember many years ago, Beno Cook, he predicted, was it Ron Paulus, or Brady Quinn would win two Heisman trophies? He predicted one of those players would win two Heisman trophies. He predicted one of those players would win two Heisman trophies They obviously did not but here is Paul Feinbaum saying of Arch Manning Peyton Manning and what are you laughing about? I just I love this clip but go ahead. Okay. Yes Yes, this is yeah. This is the nephew of right. This is the nephew of Peyton Manning and Eli Manning. Here is Arch Manning, who's the quarterback

at the University of Texas. This is what Paul Feinbaum has to say. They're very capable of doing it again this year. I believe also that Arch Manning is the best college football quarterback we have seen since Tim Tebow entered the scene in 2006. We haven't seen him though and look like no disrespect all right because college football experts everybody knows Paul

Feinbaum, Heather Dinnich and me. I do college football tailgating, you guys spend radio so everybody knows I'm college football expert. Guy turned down being a lawyer for robots, do you think he knows anything about anything? They don't deal with real money don't even get me started. It's funny because the best we've ever seen he appeared in like three games last year I mean UT San Antonio Mississippi State the worst team in the SEC Steve Sarkeesian decided Quinn Ubers is a better option for us to win football games

But Arch Manning is one of the best it might be the best college quarterback We've ever seen can we can he fit what is he gonna do against Ohio State? August 30th, better go out there slinging it against Ohio State. We're already talking about Arch Manning as the greatest thing ever. Tank for Arch, can we see him play a little bit of college football first?

That's crazy. Gotta have a better slogan than that. Tank for Arch, we gotta come up with something better. March for Arch. Something, spitballing. We've hardly seen him play, we don't even know if he's any good at the collegiate level. Beastarch for Arch.

I tuned in to Finebomb yesterday because I was driving around and when you get a car you usually get like a trial for satellite radar so you get anything that's broadcast anywhere. So I'm trying to use it, I've never used it before but I decided, you know what, I can listen to Finebomb and I did it a couple weeks ago so I was trying to listen to Finebomb yesterday. Filling. This week.

I don't think there's any show and I don't want to be rude. It was not PB. I don't want to be rude. I don't remember who it was but I've never felt as Disappointed tuning into a show than tuning into Finebomb to not get Finebomb. It just wasn't the same. And the guy's like, coming up, we're gonna take callers. I'm like, no, you're not. Finebomb once threatened to call the attorney general on me. Really?

On his show. On his show. It's a flex. He threatened me to call Jeff Sessions, the attorney general, and have me thrown in prison. What'd you say? What was your take? It's a true story.

What was the take? Okay, so this is like 10 years ago He didn't know who the hell I am except he wants to throw me in prison To tell me you were playing in an in field celebrity softball game You threw out Derrick Lee 10 years ago? This was before my star turn throwing out the... I threw his ass out. That was a hot shot. I threw his ass out. And we used to have a...

We used to have a caller on our show. Me and Joy Taylor We did mornings at 790 a Ticket, and we had like a prank caller who used to call other national radio shows and he would throw my name in there, like he would work in my name, Big Hitting Prospect, Zazzlo, what do you think about calling him up, you know? He would get these guys all the time and he kept getting through on Finebom's show and at one point Finebom, now we didn't condone nor condemn the caller, okay, we had nothing to do with it, it was not part of my show, we didn't condone nor condemn and Finebom got so mad after a

number of times this guy got through, he was yelling at his producer on the air, he was yelling about me, I'm gonna call my friend this I'm gonna call my friend attorney general Jeff sessions You're gonna have this Zaslow thrown in a gulag. That's what he said. He was gonna throw me in a gulag Gulag is a great word put it on the pole at Levitard show is gulag the funniest word for prison How do you feel about fanning for Manning where you're both fanning for him because you're a fan But you're also swinging and missing where you're both fanning for him, because you're a fan, but you're also swinging and missing.

Panning for Manning, because Arch is going to be harder. Arch, starch for Arch, march for Arch, it's parch for Arch. Parch, you're thirsty. So you're just going to stop drinking so you can have Archie Manning?

I'm parch for Arch. Yeah, you're going to stop winning. You're going to stop the delicious drink and flavor taste of winning. Just living with cotton mouth because you want Archie Manning. You're gonna parch for Arch. It's not great, admittedly, but it needs to rhyme.

We're in agreement. Alliteration's not enough, right? It's not enough to have an A ask for Arch. It's the ch at the end. So so then you got to go manning right and and and fanning and panning are Your only two choices Planning for Manning planning for Manning you like that. All right, so put it on the pole at Leviton I think panning is the best. What about tanning for Manning? Tanking a tanking team

Put it on the pole at Levitard show a tanking team put it on the pole at LeBittard show a tanking team's best slogan fanning for Manning panning for Manning being starch for arch for arch skin cancer because you want Archie Manning planning planning for Manning okay I we're in agreement that Manning is gonna make this easier than arch We're gonna quit on arch right on parts for arch So you're mad at fine bomb for saying that arch Manning is the the best freshman quarterback that I have seen freshman quarterback is Jamis Winston, that's the the best I've seen in college football. Obviously, Tim Tebow is sort of the symbol for great college quarterback, right?

I put Ken Dorsey in there as well, Danny Werfel, just a quarterback who you knew would be good in college but might not necessarily be much of a pro. That's not what they're saying about Arch Manning. Arch Manning at this point, everyone's in agreement, correct? That Arch Manning will be an NFL quarterback. I don't even know if he's good in college. Play an SEC team, not Mississippi state. It doesn't matter if he's good in college or not. He's going to be a professional football.

He's been the number one overall pick, even if he's not good in college. I feel like it has to matter. Wait a minute. I'm pretty sure that we could go look up Tim Boyle's numbers and he has never had good numbers at any level of play, even high school, and yet he has started NFL games. I don't believe outside of injury that there is any sort of chance that Arch Manning

will not throw a game as a starter in the NFL. Nathan Peterman was in the NFL for God's sake. In three years at UConn, it was one touchdown and 13 interceptions for one Tim Boyle. Matt Castle never started at USC, so I guess it is possible. Why are those guys who weren't projected in number one overall pick?

Makes a little bit of a difference, right? Well, if you had to bet and be right though, Arch Manning will throw an NFL pass as an NFL starting quarterback, yes or no? Yes. Yes. But there's your answer on why these people are doing this even though we haven't seen him play much. Like I saw Texas struggling a little bit trying to move the ball and then they put in Arch Manning when their season ended and Arch Manning made four U'ers coming right back into the game because they shouldn't have done that. He wasn't ready. He couldn't beat out what is a sixth round pick who is now a backup quarterback for the Miami Dolphins. It was an injured

Quinn Uers coming back too. I think it was in the Red River rivalry and they tried Manning at the end of the first half. He didn't do anything either. I can tell you Oklahoma sucked last year. Not at defense they didn't, but they were generally bad. Didn't they play him a little bit in the eliminator against Ohio State? Didn't Arch Manning come into the game in the championship? I don't think he could throw any passes.

The expectation on this human being though, because he has that name on the back of his uniform is impossibly high it it is Unbelievably weird to have a situation with a quarterback you have seen play sparingly Identified by Paul Feinbaum as the best quarterback since Tim Tebow It's definitely never happened before right that a quarterback is projected to go number one overall. We really haven't seen yet That's never happened has it? Projected number one overall coming into college and can't get on the field his first couple

of seasons because the starter there is established and I would say that Quinn Uers was one of the named quarterbacks in the sport last year. Top five names of who you'd want quarterbacking your team and he couldn't beat him out. I mean, well, I don't know about that, but we're also saying he couldn't get on the field, but that's because of where he chose to go. He could have gone to any school

and been the starter had he wanted to. FAU probably would have started. He chose to go there knowing he probably wasn't going to start. Like it was a decision that they consciously made. Right, but Sarkeesian decided that Quinn Ewers was the better option. That's correct. Like he's trying to win a national championship, Sarkeesian.

That's right. And he decided Quinn Ewers. He had a team that was points away from being as good as Ohio State last year, and he started the other guy.
