This is the Don Leventor Show with the Stugatz Podcast. Stugatz, this is my favorite time of year. I am such a damn huge fan of the Suys. I thought you were gonna say football. Oh, that too. Do Suys and football come at the same time every year?

Yeah. Yeah, basically. We look at the NFL season as the start of our year, so the Suys are kind of like our year in review leading into the new football season. Got it. Our fiscal year end, but Suys. There you go. Is it like an award show that's out there

that I can compare it to? It's like our Oscars, I think. Oh, is that it? Yeah. I think I've heard that before. So what point does a suey cease to be eligible for this season and become eligible for next year? There's a blurred line, but for instance,

my dad made a laugh in the first hour that I have. It's the first nominee for next year's suing. So, excellent. Wow, okay, so that's 2025. Yeah. And the mistake Chris just made in the last segment is gonna be the first mistake on next year's. Damn, I didn't write that one down.

Can Joe Mauer be in next year's dismissals? Sure. Okay, good. By the way, not my fault, one of my workers out there. Wow, nothing says great leader. Wow. I got out of there because I thought it was just me overlooking it.

He's just like, I didn't, I cut that one. Wow, Dan's out of town and we're still throwing people under the bus here. Learned it from watching you, Dan. I was proud of him. He came up to me and was like, my bad on that. I was like, well that was my bad. Went off me, coach?

Yeah, he did. I touched the ball, coach. And now I'm shaming him in front of everyone. There's fire here that takes accountability. It was nice knowing Ethan. Who's that? So don't bother learning his name he's gone. Worst mistake. And now the sui nominees for worst mistake. Poppy Lebatard tells LeBron where to find the key. He's lousy, he's all, he's making too much money.

Too much money, but listen, LeBron, if you wanna come back to Miami, the key is under the mattress, buddy. We love you for you to come back to Miami the kiddies under the mattress, buddy. We love you for you to come back

Are you alleging that Oddball should be more award winning than the sports business podcast of the year

and the best baseball podcast of the year? Nothing personal with David Sampson? Dad, Oddball operates outside of the purview of mainstream society and your award shows. Did you call him dad? Yeah, I heard him say dad. Yeah. Which feels like very appropriate.

Bill Simmons doesn't know where the Florida Panthers play. Florida fans, settle down. You didn't know what hockey was until like 1993. You literally didn't have hockey. You've never won a cup. The average person who follows sports has no idea what city you're attached to. You're the Florida Panthers. Are you in Jacksonville? Are you in Orlando? Are you in Palm Beach? Nobody knows. It's the answers Miami, but literally most people don't know that.

Charlotte Wilder puts too much respect on Martin Scorsese's editor's name. Yeah, it's spending big. It's a big production also. Let's put some respect on Scorsese's editor name, editor's name, Thelma Schoonmaker, which I probably just did not respect by saying it eventually wrong.

Thelma C-H-S-H. Don't do that. So, the Gilded Age. The Gilded Age. Charlotte Wilder's incoherent speaking. Guys, this was just light people's shoes on fire and we'd laugh about it. People just want to splice each other with breach. Damn it.

I whipped that tape off afterwards, paint everywhere. Just, and I get it, Billy's gonna do, oh, you made a mistake, but hey painters tape be better Tape you're having trouble hard thing. Well, yes, it is. They've done nothing but eat turkey and candy and gummies for the last 10 days

I love these two guys. He is the mayor of radio rope. McGill, good to see you. Mayor of Radio Row.

I mean, that's the whole theme of the night. That she's going out with a jiu-jitsu instructor. Now, poor Tom, all by his lonesome. That's the whole theme of the night. Dan Lebatard gives the video team some odd direction. The camera people just come on Stugatz's face.

What? Dan Lebatard texts his food order to Stephen A. Smith. I have in my phone Stephanie from a Mexican restaurant and so I ended up ordering tacos of fajitas and margaritas from Stephen A. Dan Lebatard thinks he asks YouGod a question while talking to the Wu-Tang Clan. Would YouGod be kind enough to tell us when he looks at the entire landscape of hip hop, who the people are that he respects the most, that he would put on the tier with Wu-Tang in terms of authenticity, credibility, durability?

Greg. Lucy Rodin trying to say Arnold Palmer. I can say Mercury and almond parmol now Mike Ryan confuses everyone by inexplicably using henceforth in a sentence now. I do find this cute I don't know how routine and commonplace That's gonna be especially henceforth, but it's not something he could have done just in his home country like that Force thank you for saying that it's gonna be we're all thinking it It is gonna be it is gonna be at times like a circus

Drop the wills earlier. Wiles. Did you? What are you doing? Wiles. You go to Tahoe, you hobnob with celebrities, and you come back and speaking the King's English? Yeah, that was a little weird, I guess. I wonder what happened. I don't know. I could have said from here on out,

but Dan, I'd like to be efficient with this microphone. Especially with the Coho sound. I'd like to be efficient with this microphone, especially with the co-hosts out, and I'd like to know my spots. So henceforth. Yeah, I deserve to be dragged for that. Charlotte Wilder doesn't know the Fonz. And it was the number one show on the land

because the big star of this show was a man who was cool because he wore a leather jacket. The Fonz. Hey. The Frons? Fonz. The German version, the Frans? I did not think she could do better than the Fahs,

which was her initial offering. But then it became the French television show, Happy Days with the Frongs. Charlotte Wilder. Big year. Oh my gosh. Rookie of the year? I don't know.

Arbor Power was pretty good. Arbor Power was good, but when she said slayed with breach, I lost it. Yeah, that was a good one. That was my favorite one too, I have that clip on my playlist. Guys, we're just light people's shoes on fire and we laugh about it.

People just want to split each other with breach. Damn it. What? She was definitely thinking Fozzie Bear. The Foz? She's a big Muppets fan. Isn't that a Muppet? Yeah, Fozzie Bear.

I know what she was thinking. Oh man, what about Mike? I feel like they went too hard for you on henceforth. On henceforth? Yeah, that wasn't really a mistake. It's not a mistake, but it's just like- I guess using a big word around Chris Cody was my mistake. Henceforth, Raheem Mostert next. In the NFL, there is no margin for error.

Don LeBattard Are we bothering you right now? Turn on your microphone, Greg. My microphone's on. Stugats. Paint the scene. The paint the scene is I got to go to work. Good night. This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

We want Chris to want to live here. Yeah, this is perfect down here. Perfect right here in this lay area. He's saying this. They're saying in the facility they want to live here. Oh, yeah. Right here on this couch. He's saying this, they're saying in the facility that we're gonna live here. Oh yeah, yeah. Right in this couch. I did just see something out there

that said mandatory weigh-in at 8 a.m. That wouldn't feel good for me. But, wouldn't love to do that every morning. It's just to make sure that we're good in regards to, you know, practice and everything like that. Because once you get out of practice, they wanna see how many pounds you lost because of the heat, so, you know.

How much do you have to eat to not lose a bunch of weight in this heat? It's not so much about eating, it's about the fluids. So like, for every pound you lose, you have to drink, you know, a certain amount of water to gain that poundage back, so. No thanks. You have to have some fluids in you, man.

We should have a weigh-in at the studio every morning. We're here with Stu Gotz's friend, Raheem Mostert, I think neighbor and surprisingly, number one Florida Panthers fan, Raheem Mostert. I don't know. In the parade. What were you doing in the parade? What happened?

I'll tell you what, I got really good at connecting with a few people and yeah, it was awesome. We tried to get in that parade. Y'all shoulda hit me up. Y'all shoulda hit me up. We woulda got y'all for sure. No, it was awesome though. Shout out to the Panthers and everything they did

this past year. It was definitely memorable. I've been a Panthers fan for about like 11 years. Did you touch the cup? I did. Okay. It was fun. It was a lot of fun.

It's different sports, so it's fun. That's the thing. My wife was freaking out. She was like, Raheem, you cannot touch that thing. My wife was freaking out. She was like, Raheem, you cannot touch that trophy. I was like, why? She was like, well, do you know that there's a curse if you don't win it?

Like, I'm like. If you haven't won it yet, you can't touch it. Does your wife know you don't play hockey? Yeah, that's what I told her. I was like, babe, we're okay. We're good. I mean, I think we're okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

11 years you've been a Panthers fan? I have, yeah. Because how? So my agent, Brett Tesler, he stays in Parkland Golf as well. And he brought me to my first ever game. And ever since then, I was just, I mean, I've always been around hockey a little bit, even from the Tampa team.

And yeah, that's good. We don't say their name. I appreciate that. No, just Tampa team. Lightning. You're a Panther fan, man. I know. So yeah, ever since then, I've just been locked in with the Panthers.

It's been pretty cool to see you find a home here. The idea that you had 18 touchdowns last year. I was offended on your behalf that the running back position has been devalued so much that there wasn't everybody throwing all sorts of money at you this off season, because any time a person has had 18 touchdowns in my lifetime, that person breaks the bank

when they get to the bank. Yeah, it's a little discouraging, but I'm an older guy now. They want to put the age tag on me, which is unfortunate, especially what I've done. You know, I was 31 last year, and being able to run with 21 year olds, and just doing what I did,

I'd go out there and just play. And hopefully, you know, that changes in the near future with the running back market, but it takes the younger guys to make that happen, but older guys have to step up as well, so. Where along the path in your career would it have seemed most likely to you, or probable, that you would make a Pro Bowl

and have 18 touchdowns? Man, honestly, I would have to say, a younger version would have to be year seven, eight. I felt like that was like the perfect time for me, but you know, I didn't take advantage of the opportunities. I, at least I tried to, but you know, just things were falling out, injuries and all that good stuff.

So I'm just happy that I'm able to do what I've done, you know, at the time that I did, you know, last year. So. There can't be another story like that in NFL history. Waved six times, 18 touchdowns in a Pro Bowl. Also should have won or could have won a Super Bowl MVP. Yeah, yeah, if we would have gotten the ball. You know, the running game for that game against the Chiefs in 2019, that was,

it was keyed up ined for us to win it. And, you know, it just straight away from the the run game and, you know, we would have been in Super Bowl champs for sure. You don't get to surf here at all, right? There's no such thing. Just the internet. You being able to. We would surf here with the sharks, I mean. Well, no, but I mean, he's used to waves. He's used to sizable waves, and he loves the ocean. Yeah, yeah. Every year, I feel like I'm always taking a trip to Hawaii, so I get my, like, you know, surf fix there. This past off-season, I went to Hawaii

to support Tula and his foundation. He had a golfing event, and he had his football camp, but unfortunately, I didn't make the camp because I had my own down in South Miami. But went out there for the week. We left Sunday night, got in Monday morning. And yeah, we were just, me and my family hanging out and we had a couple of days of surfing, so it was fun. What was the free agent process for you

like coming off of that kind of season? At the beginning, it was a little slow. And then things started ramping up, started getting some talks just because I was still under contract with the Dolphins. But my second year, my last year wasn't guaranteed, which would have made this year, wasn't guaranteed. So then just went back to the table,

started talking, and we felt like it was a deal that you couldn't refuse, so. But it was disappointing to you, not necessarily to come back here, but to not have that season rewarded the way that I would have imagined at any time in Running Back's lifespan, it would have been rewarded.

Yeah, I mean, you know, then again, it happened to be the market, right? Everything is the market value, whatever the market sets is on, you know, those positions to value, to be valued in a way that, you know, makes sense. But unfortunately, like you mentioned earlier, it's the Running Back market, you know,

especially given my age, too So yeah, I'm 32 now, but I'm not an old man Does that bother you the running back market just the way that position is treated cuz growing up Dan and I watching the gamut Smith Those guys they got the ball. Yeah Yeah, no, um, you know, I feel like it's definitely changed these past couple years and it got paid, man. Yeah, nah, I feel like it's definitely changed these past couple years and it's unfortunate, but that's just the, in time it'll get back up. I feel like it'll be more valued once the younger guys

start to realize, hey, I don't have to be, we don't run the ball like that back then. And guys are getting, they were getting hurt at some point running the ball 20 plus times, but now it's such a passing league, these running backs that are getting, you know, they were getting hurt at some point running the ball, you know, 20 plus times. But now it's such a passing league. These running backs that are in, like, you know, I talk to Devon all the time. I'm telling him, hey, you know, you catch the ball out of the backfield. That's that's what's going to help your case, you know, especially when it comes down to, you know, those contract talks. So he's taking it well, running routes, you know, we're all running routes.

And I'm happy to see that type of progression right now for him. What's that running back room like right now? Because you're in there, we're having him coming off the season you did. De'Von Aitchin coming off a season where he broke out, they draft, Jalen Wright. So it's just like, there's a balance

between being teammates and competing with each other. Yeah, you know, I think the biggest thing in our coach, Eric Stoosville, he does an unbelievable job in making it feel like it's more so a brotherhood and lifelong friends. You know, that's the most important thing because, you know, in this NFL world, man, it's any given day, you know,

you can have the best game of your life, you can be on the highest of highs and then something major can happen and then it turns into the lowest of lows. But you have to have your brothers that's right there behind you. And I feel like with our running back room, we are the best running back room in the league.

There's no doubt about it. There's other guys that wanna compete and say, well, so-and-so has this title. But if you go down the line of all the backs that are in our room specifically, each and every one, even even our younger guys, each and every one has made some type of impact in this league or will make an impact in this league when their time comes. So I just feel like this room is just tailored to what we do as a group and as individuals, too.

Do you know where you're ranked in the NFL's Top 100 players? Have you seen where you're ranked? Yeah, I did. What's the number? 60. Yeah. How are we feeling about that? That was too high.

I felt like, especially what I did last year. Too low. Too low. Too low. It was bullshit, I'll say. That's technically high up if you go by numbers. It's high. Yes, but you thought it should have been a better ranking.

Yeah, better ranking. I broke a 40 a 40 year old record that hasn't been touched in 40 years and you know To be able to break Ricky Williams record and you know, I looked up to Ricky when when I was a little kid coming from You know The Florida and stuff like that. So to be able to break his record that meant so much more to me Then then marks record, right? But yeah, you know, it is what it is. It just gives me more motivation this year. So who was the running back on the list higher than you that you were like, what's going on with this? There was probably a couple. What's this guy doing up here? Christian, obviously, I think he's just a hell of a bad guy.

You were good with that. I was fine with that. He deserves it. You're scrolling through the list. You're like, what the hell is he doing here? He deserves that. So you had 18, he had 14. Yeah, yeah. But we tied 21 touchdowns total.

So I couldn't even. That's right. And he led the league in Russia. So I talked to him all the time. We bullshitted with each other and stuff like that. It's fun. And then Derrick Henry, I feel like that's also another, you know, he, that's.

You're good with those two. I'm good with those guys. But who's the guy you're not good with? Yeah, come on, that's gotta be the rest. It sounds like the rest. Oh, I don't know who's there. There has to be a name. I don't know who else is there.

Who's in the 50s? Here, stand and look that up for me. Yeah, we need to figure that out. Cause, you know, I just see it as I'm the 60th best player You know after what I did I felt like I should have been lower, you know in regards to that higher higher Lower but higher yeah But you know, I'm just I'm just happy and blessed honestly to make the list for the first time and you know It can only go up from here. That's how I see it

I know you you keep in touch with all the guys in San Francisco. You keep an eye on what's going on there. You love that organization. What do you make of what's going on with Iyuk right now? First and foremost, I don't know what's been going on with Iyuk and his contract, but I do definitely think he deserves whatever comes his way because he's always stayed

quiet. He's never been, you know, the most outspoken one unless it's involved, you know, his contract issues and stuff like that. And he's, he's a hell of a player. I mean, the guy goes out there, he doesn't say anything, he goes and gets his yards and does what he needs to do. I watched him when he was a rookie and talking with him when he was a rookie and just to see the growth, man,

I just want nothing but the best for him because he definitely deserves it. Has money changed to it? No, no, no, no, no, money hasn't changed to it. What was he doing with the mic though? Like, why did he grab the mic? That was awesome. No, that was actually like, you know,

I felt like at that moment for him, it was definitely, you know, is something that he cherished because, you know, he didn't he's not a guy that talks a lot. You know, he's humble. He's the most humble human being you'll ever meet. You know, he he doesn't talk about what he has. He doesn't talk about all the all the fame and glory he's had. You know, he just always wanting to work

and get the people around him better. And for him to have that statement, show me the money, we joke around, me and T-Stad joke around with him right now, right? And it's just all fun, man. It's just happy to see that, especially what he's been going through. What's the confidence level with a guy like Tua?

When you have the criticisms out there of maybe not as accurate outside the pocket cold weather we haven't seen him do it like in the locker room are we confident that he can get over all those hurdles that people put out? Oh yeah definitely I mean if you've seen what he's done you know in college and dealing with you know Alabama his hip injury right coming back from that and and then being drafted here by a coach that really didn't want him And and then going through that whole process and looking you know

We get here first year with McDaniel and he has a stellar career And it's just been going up and up you know and his leadership is just unmatched So this guy comes in and he wants everybody around him to get better, and that's something that you need and and also he takes pride in his lack thereof of all the skepticism, you know, the skeptical things, right? He just wants to get better each and every day and you can see it.

Many years ago, Zach Thomas talked about I wouldn't fight Tim Bowens if I was the only one who had a gun. Jason Taylor said one time he threw a Coke can at Larry Chester and ran away because he was afraid of Larry Chester. And one time Darryl Gardner, or no, I think it was Tim Bowens and Mean Joe Green

got into it on the sideline and everybody was afraid. Who's the dolphin in the locker room that everybody's just a little bit afraid of? Uh, I mean, it's hard because, I mean, well, you got Kaleus Campbell in that bad boy. That voice. He's 6'6", 6'8", and you know, that's a grown man status right there.

You know, he's played 17 years in the league. I tell him that he's 44, you know, buzzes chops a little bit. But when he speaks, you know, it has some validity. You know, that man speaks from the heart and he speaks true and you can tell that that guy's, he's about the right stuff. And that's something I line up with him.

And if he has a problem with somebody, I'm backing him up. But he's a friendly monster. He's friendly. But you should see him on the field. You see him, when we break in the huddle and you see a 6'8 giant on the other side of the ball, you're like, okay, yep.

I'm gonna zip these up real quick. Last question before we get you out of here. I don't think it's terribly insulting to be the 60th best football player in the world. Is there another list that's more insulting that you've seen? Because I know you track this stuff. You still, you have the list of all the teams

that have waved you. You don't like that very much. Riham, there's a top 15 list out right now, top 15 running backs, and I don't know who put out the list, but you're not on that list. I'm not, I'm, yeah. You know that, right? Yeah, I think it's about time for me to come out

and say this, whoever's making those damn lists is definitely, they don't know their stuff. That's right. Listen to the man. Just because, you know, if I'm not even in the top 15 back and I was a top 10 rusher last year, I mean, come on now. What are we doing here? What are we doing?

Yeah, you got guys on the list that, you know, no offense, I think that every back in the league is, you know, superior and dominant in their own perspective ways. But, you know, for me, I feel like, you know, I should be in the top 10. I deserve to be in the top 10, but that's always fuel. And there's always this year to get even better. You nailed the dismount, sir.

Thank you for being on with us. Your neighbors with Stugats, have you yet met him at his clubhouse? He's promised to spend time with you. He tends to be a bit of a phony. I'm waiting. No, that's not fair, man. You're going to do that to me.

We spent time with your wife and your kids. We're out of the rain. You did. You did. do that to me. But listen, I'm with your wife and your kids. We're out in the rain. You did, you did. We actually, you know what? We spent plenty of time on the Chippin' Greens. You know, my kids were trying to steal a couple of his golf balls. I was trying to steal theirs. But you know, it was definitely a good time. But I did stand you up at the bar one time, I did.

We ain't gonna talk about that. No, I believe that. He was the king of that one. I just love the sitting there. That sounds like you. Did you guys say, is Stugat's game good? Golf game, how is it? You know what, he's- You don't have to be nice. No, no, no, honestly, I saw potential.

Fuck me. I've been playing for three years. I saw potential. I'm always bitching on the green right from his house. Always. He's always bitching on the green, so. Yeah, absolutely. Well, hey man, I just wanna say thank you guys.

I think that your guys' show is awesome. I'm more than honored to be on anytime. Y'all just let me know. Stu, you already know. So thank you guys. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you.

I've been married 40 years. This is the done libertar show with a stooge ads I love the rejoins I Love the look on Jessica's face as she realized she was an unwitting pawn in one of the most obvious setups ever. Unwitting pawn, I'm the one that set up the joke. Moving on. You want to hear the rejoin again? No, she's right.

Thought about it. I know she's right. She knew she was f***ing hiccups and I'm pissed back here Hold your breath swallow three times Or that or that that's how you do it Chris scared her actually might have worked That's how you do it and and and it was done perfectly because it was right in the middle So God's giving his bullshit advice. What do you mean? Well, I'm just saying like well, she just hiccuped again Do you do that to your daughter? Like you just lunge at her? That was scary.

I have done that before to my daughter, actually. Try this, hold your breath and swallow three times, okay? I am telling you, it works every time. Telling you. 86% of the time. It works 100% of the time. Scaring my daughter is one of my, I enjoy that. Oh, all the time.

One of my big things is, oh it's bedtime. And so as we're starting to walk up the stairs, I sprint ahead of her and I go into her room and so I'm like, am I behind the door? Am I in the closet? And then she like looks for me and then I pop out and I scare her. I do that when we come back from outside,

park the car in the garage and I get out the car real fast and then I get on the other side and then as they're walking up the stairs or something, they're like, ah! Child fear. Yes. Cheer. I feel like that's a building block, right?

To your great character as someone startling the shit out of you. Zagack. That was quite the hiccup right there. I'm telling you, the reason that I'm so annoyed right now is because when I get the hiccups, I have the hiccups for a very long time. Jesus Christ, I don't like this.

Did you try my method? Did you try my method? It didn't work. It's four times. Okay. Wait, what day is it? No, it doesn't work on Tuesdays. What's the temperature?

What's the temperature? It's 88, two arms. Not whistling weather. To one. Like sometimes I'll be in bed at night and like Lee and I will be like talking and then he'll make a joke and I'll start laughing and then I get the hiccups and then he's like oh f*** like the whole night's like it's a it's over like you're gonna be hiccuping for the next six hours we're never gonna fall asleep.

You have a very frequent hiccup. Usually mine the the gap is so long that I... That you think they're gone. Maybe they're gone, and then, look, no, still here, still here. Yours are pretty, yours are like a cartoon character. No, they're like super aggressive, and like they, like my entire body, like hiccups.

Convulses, you're like a cartoon character. See? Like in the cartoons, especially when they're drunk. I'm not like doing that on purpose. You guys ever remember that? I'm sawing right now. Is that a 20 CB thing is that when in the cartoons if you're drunk You got a you know, that's how the car yeah, yeah that first sip of coca-cola always does it for me Yeah, that's if you drink it too fast

Really? Yeah, cuz there's an air pocket in there and I wish to choke on the first sip always Why you going too hard like I'm like the Tom Brady of doing that every time I take a sip of anything Especially if I'm really thirsty I'm gonna be coughing for a little bit. Give me time I want to ask you guys a question Because I think we're all in a situation where you know in here lives alone, right? Everyone's got someone that they live with and every once in a while you're going to the store and they say hey that they live with, and every once in a while, you're going to the store, and they say, hey, bring back this from the store, and you say, fine.

And then you get the inevitable text of, oh, and also this. I think my biggest pet peeve is getting that text after I've left the store. Oh, the worst. What do you do? I get it all the time, yeah. You say, you just text and say, I already left. And I say, I'm almost home.

Sometimes, I'll have just checked out. What if it's your fault though? What if you texted, do you need something, and you just didn't look at your phone again until you got in the car, but the text was sent right away? No, I'm talking about the text was sent after the shopping experience has ended. What if you're in line though?

You're saying you've left the store, right? What if you're in line though? Do you ever do the mid-scanning items? Like I'm gonna go get one more thing and there's people waiting in your spring. Oh no, don't do that. So you're up next, right? What if you're in line though? Do you ever do the mid like scanning items? Like I'm gonna go get one more thing and there's people waiting and you're sprinting. So you're up next, right? And there's a long line behind you and your significant other says,

hey, I need this. If I'm having tacos and I forgot sour cream, I don't care who's behind me, I'm running back to get that. You're the worst. This is what you do. It depends on how many items you have. If you have a shit ton of items, I start loading them on the conveyor belt

and then I sprint back to go get the thing. You have time, yes. Yeah, but if I go, all I had was milk and like, oh, the sour cream, I'm not gonna. What if the item is near the chart? Erk. Good question. That worked, actually.

This is a valid point. If it's the aisle right closest to you, then I got time. Sure. Three hops, that's the rule. Yeah, really? You can hop on one foot three times, or opposite foot, original foot again. If you could triple jump to the item, you're fine.

I love triple jump. Underrated sport. Do you have to triple jump back, or? You don't have to, but it's encouraged. You can long jump back. You know what I hate is these cheap bags of chips. I don't like anything My daughter's always like can I in like the conveyor belt right over there belt the impulse by they got the chips

They got the gum. They got a magazine my daughter's always wanting this stuff I don't I don't like candy. I don't like candy, right? I'm not a person But for some reason those impulse buy candies, they've never looked better, man. Right there, the Kit Kat, like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, all of them, they're like, hey big boy, and I'm like, oh shit. That's what it's like going to Ulta, because they have a mini version of all the fancy makeup

by the checkout. And for some reason, you can convince yourself. Oh, I thought you were cured. God damn it. We're going to check in with, we forgot about him. He's trying out for the golden oldies. You guys ever impulse buy the Princess Diana tribute magazine? Oh my God, I love those.

Or like the Life magazine, it'll be like 50. When you're hiring for your small business, you want to find quality professionals that are right for the role.
