Jersey City, New Jersey, please drink responsibly. This is the Dan Lebatore Show with the StuGuts Podcast. How long do you guys sleep on average? You guys get eight hours. They retrain at eight hours, right? I try to get six to seven. Never. I get like three maybe.

Four or five. Ten. You get ten? I'm a sleeper. Ten hours? I wish. I am a sleeper. But how are you going to bed? Eight o'clock? I usually go toer. God, I'm so jealous. 10 hours? I wish. I am a sleeper. But what time are you going to bed?

Eight o'clock? I usually go to bed, well, when I work here, I don't get eight hours of sleep. Also, I found I'm funnier when I've slept less, so I think it works better for me. But when I'm not here, yeah, I get like 10 hours of sleep. I go to bed at like 10.30. And then I go.

And you wake up at like eight in the morning? Yeah, actually, I could sleep 14 hours a night. Like, not a problem. Really? Yeah, when I could sleep 14 hours a night. Like not a problem. Really? Yeah, when I was a kid it was an issue. Like I could sleep all the time. Do you have like blackout curtains or just it doesn't matter?

Lights, sounds, nothing matters? Um, sound, well I have a horrible neighbor who plays Call of Duty all the time. So that's tough because it sounds like there are gunshots going off in my apartment all the time. I feel like I'm living on the front lines. But when he's quiet, then yeah, I can sleep. Like I don't have blackout curtains,

but I don't have windows in my room. But even before then, like I have always been able to sleep for like an extraordinarily long time. One time when I was a kid, I fell off my bed and I hit my head on the nightstand and I busted my head open in my sleep and I didn't wake up. Oh my God. I know, I woke up covered in blood.

It was quite terrifying. Oh my God. I know. With a concussion, I'm sure. Yeah, well, it God. I know, I woke up covered in blood. It was quite terrifying. Oh my God. I know. With a concussion, I'm sure. Yeah, well, it hasn't affected me, I hope. I was under the impression that like legally, in order for it to be called a bedroom, it has to have a closet and it has to have windows.

Mine is a junior bedroom, I think is like the technical name for it, and it costs so much money. Thank you, Miami. Oh my God. Chris, how long do you sleep a night? It depends, obviously, but I try to get six. I like, if I'm asleep by midnight, up around six,

I try to do earlier than that. That's where I try to be too. And usually late in the week, like most of the week, it's that, by Thursday, it catches up with me and I go to bed earlier, because I'm tired, but generally six hours. I don't know how you do it. Tony, what do you do?

I try to get in bed by like 11. I've been trying to be better about it by like 10, 30, 11, try to be in bed, and then wake up at 6, 37. You know what I'm realizing? No wonder y'all don't be having all these basketball takes I be wanting y'all to have, because I be staying up to watch the Kings end the game. Every night, I'll stay up to watch every late game

So that's probably contributes to why I don't go to space Let's go living buddy. Also my wife doesn't want to watch King's son. So it's a problem. Oh, yeah You're mad about that. Yes. Thank you I'm like I'm like Jeremy I get like four to five hours a night and not like because like I Got stuff to do whatever. I'm just, I don't sleep. Like I wake up, even if I have nothing going on, if I go to sleep early, so I've had, earlier this week I went to sleep at 10.

I was just tired from a long day. I woke up at 2.30 in the morning. And then I just, well, I'm up now, so I just stayed up pretty much. I got a concept for you. Just go back to sleep. I can't. I got a concept, marijuana. just go back to sleep. I got a concept, marijuana.

Then I wouldn't wake up again, and I'd be just in bed all day long. But I bring all this up because apparently Sydney Sweeney has me and Jeremy beat, she's got Juju beat, she's got everybody beat. She sleeps two hours a night. I take a two hour nap like every day, so I don't know. That is just absolutely bat shit crazy.

Dakota Johnson has the better answer. She came out and she was like, I sleep 14 hours a night. And that's my girl, she gets me. Two hours a night. She also doesn't drink coffee, she said. I don't drink coffee either, so I understand that. Neither do I. But two hours a night, shout out to Cam and Mace.

Big cap. Big big cap big cap. There's absolutely no way she sleeps two hours a night and don't take any naps and then and then she Cosmo Kramer or or or Maybe she was just an avid skier Wow, that is reckless. Right. Hold on. Yep, it's buffering. Time to throw away dull journalistic credibility and get reckless. Here is something we like to call reckless speculation. Be careful. You're good.

If Sidney Sweeney only sleeps two hours a night, doesn't drink coffee, doesn't take naps... She might be Peek-A-Boo Street out here. Wow. Wow. A reckless accusation. Speculation? I'm speculating. Are you speculating or are you accusing? She might be in speculation. She is as an accusation she might be peekaboo Street fantastic name though peekaboo Scree is one of the top five names ever it's a little sis we need to

have her as a guest on the show you know what I agree I love you peekaboo Street oh I thought you meant Sydney Sweeney I love Sydney Sweeney too I love all of them I believe her life is very is very, very fun. So it's like, why would I go to sleep? Look at my Menchies. What's up with Menchies? I like that Amin said all of them, like just all women. I just love all, I love all of them.

I do. He loves everybody, man. He's a lovable guy. Like Larry David. You got, no one watches Curb though, the problem is. I do, I just haven't caught up on this season yet. I watched it all. Sorry.

You up to date Juju? Hell yeah. Okay, so one of the problem is. I do, I just haven't caught up on this season yet. I watched the whole season. Are you up to date, Juju? Hell yeah. Okay, so one of the things that happens is Larry, this is not really a big spoiler, it's a very sea level story, but Larry has some cheese, he doesn't wanna have it in his car all day to stink it up the car,

so he asks Jeff and Suzy, can I leave it in your fridge, I'll pick it up later or tomorrow. So he comes back tomorrow, They've eaten the cheese and Susie's response is possession is nine-tenths of the law So you know it's in my fridge. I eat it. What are you? I don't know if that holds up in corporate spoiler alert. Sorry Not that much of a spoiler Not that much of a spoiler because that was in the in the like preview trailer for the next episode last week So of a spoiler. Because that was in the preview trailer

for the next episode last week, so not a spoiler at all. Speaking of spoilers, Katelyn Carr, they almost got spoiled the other night by West Virginia. Now we got my sister in the building finally to give more elaborative details on the experience. Sis, talk about it. Oh, you were there?

Lucy Rodin, Iowa correspondent. Love it. It's so good. How did he do it? I can just get down there sometimes. Can you? Can you get down there sometimes? Okay.

Yes, I was at the game. I was at both of Iowa's first round games. Wasn't my favorite game I've ever watched. Yeah, I didn't love it. Exciting though, right? Like, nail biters are more exciting than... Yeah, not when all my happiness and joy is staked on this one team. No, I think it's better. Dude, you want your favorite...

I would have rather won by a hundred. You want your favorite team that just have blowouts all the way through. Yes I would love that that would that would be really awesome for me I actually struggled a lot in the first game to which people really didn't talk about Holy Cross really like it was tough for Iowa in the first half more like more like unholy cross in my right Thank you our teams doing more than they did in the regular season during the tournament in terms of doubling and stuff? Not necessarily. The way to beat Iowa isn't to double Kaitlyn Clark.

You can double Kaitlyn Clark and she's going to score. The way to beat Iowa is force Kaitlyn Clark to score all the points. Iowa has a better record when Kaitlyn scores less points and the supporting cast scores more. I believe Iowa has a losing record when she scored over 40 or 50 points because if you isolate Kaitlyn, she can score 50 points a game, but she scored over 40 or 50 points because if you isolate Caitlin

she can score 50 points a game, but she can't score 100. She can't score 90 and that's no shot to her. And so you really saw West Virginia come out and they just, Iowa struggles with the press and West Virginia was pressing the entire game. Press Virginia. Press Virginia, exactly. And so it was wild to see such a low scoring game for Iowa under, I think it was like around 60 points.

It was tough, it stressed me out quite a bit, but I will say one of the coolest things ever is Rose and I kept her phone on like a little decibel tracker the entire time. Oh yeah? It got up to I believe 115 decibels in the arena. 110 with booze at one point, and I thought that was very special. What do you make of all the hatred online I believe 115 decibels in the arena. 110 with booze at one point,

and I thought that was very special. What do you make of all the hatred online going towards the team, which is saying the referees are responsible, the calls aren't on both sides. They did have a lot of questionable calls, but what do you make of that? I would say that one, people getting mad at me,

I didn't call the game. So don't, I don't know what you want me to do. That was not my job. I would say that the refs definitely were in Iowa's favor I'm not saying they were cheating or anything, but what Iowa shot 30 free throws West Virginia shot five I will also say West Virginia plays a style of defense that is more aggressive You are going to get more calls against you like that's just how that works And if you saw the first half West Virginia, they were kind of getting away with it

That's just not always going to last and so there was a crazy free throw discrepancy and Iowa did get, I think, a little assistance for the refs. But for the most part, I feel like the calls were decently fair because West Virginia plays very aggressive and that is how they held Iowa to scoring so few points. Like it's, it's tough, but like the thing that made me mad, nobody was talking about Middle Tennessee State LSU Which had the exact same issue and our coach isn't getting any article written about her in the Washington Post I got a question. I got a question. How do you guys feel about? In the women's tournament the first two rounds are home court advantage. I love it

I love it so much and I saw people getting mad because they're like, you know, it's such an advantage for Iowa, which like, that's kind of the point. Iowa had an amazing regular season. You should be rewarded for having a good season. And so like with the men's side, I know they're not at home court, but you see that they try to put teams.

Yeah, like UNC played in Charlotte. Like they're doing that on purpose. You earn that advantage. Iowa earned that advantage. South Carolina earned that advantage. And you're going to see it in the college football playoff where the first round is going to be held at the higher seat. But we want upsets.

You earn it. But we want to. That's the reason I think. But we got upsets. Duke beat Ohio State. Colorado beat Kansas State. You'd see less upsets in the women's game in general, but you're still getting those upsets and you're getting those atmospheres.

Like the alternative is okay, you have Iowa and West Virginia go play. And yeah, in Des Moines or even worse, like sometimes it doesn't work out and they're in Spokane, Washington. And now instead of having a sold out game where you're reaching decibels in the hundreds, you have a 75, 50% full crowd.

Like it's just, you earned home court advantage. I love it. Right, and I'm pretty sure West Virginia's coach, when they got off the bus, they told them, look, we going in here to Kaitlin Clark's final game in Iowa. It's not gonna be pretty. It's sometimes gonna be five on seven with these referees,

but we gonna have to persevere and to their credit, bro. That's a great coach's speech right there. Five on seven is classic. What happened to the third ref? The third ref is cool? Yeah, he cool. He's cool. He's neutral.

You don't know. Right. But yeah, for them to show that perseverance, hats off to West Virginia to going into that atmosphere and actually performing that well. They were so good. And the press works well against Lisa Bluter. It works well against Iowa they they planned appropriately I I do think the West Virginia coach made a mistake by singling out Caitlin Clark before the game giving some big speech to

Boosters of how we're gonna send her packing Know who you're messing with man Caitlin's gonna take all that very personally and when it was close in the first half I please don't hate me Lucy I already do I jumped on West Virginia plus nine and a half cause I'm just like, it felt like it was gonna be a close game with the way that second quarter went. So I'm like nine and a half and of course, Iowa comes out third quarter, goes on a run and late in the game they won by 10

and I'm telling you those free throws late in the game, like Caitlin, you could have missed one of those free throws. That's all I needed. Bros, speaking of fire under Caitlin, Gino tried to light some fire under Caitlyn this week by saying Paige is the best player in the country. Check the numbers. What do you feel about that?

I'm so sick and tired of the debate of people being like, if Paige hadn't gotten hurt, she was supposed to be what Caitlyn was. Paige is a very good player. Caitlyn is a very good player. I don't understand why we have to pretend that they both can't be great players. They're both great players. I don't know what we have to pretend that they both can't be great players. They're both great players.

Like, I don't know what we're doing here. Comparison is what, Juju? The Thief of Joy. Give me some of that. Lucy Rodin, Iowa correspondent. Hey, it's Mike. And first off, let me thank you. A lot of people have hit me up privately curious

about my fishtail palms and I just got some landscaping done and let me tell you they've never looked better. I've got light shining on them and now every night I go outside sit on my patio look at my fishtail palms and drink some Miller Lite. Yeah a lot has changed over the years.

Miller Lite has more of the taste that you want and less of the stuff that you don't. Oh sitting outside with my family letting the music play and sipping Miller Lite. That is the good stuff folks.

Don LeBard. And then that staffer threw him 25 and 2. Oh, there's a brand new kid in town out of BYU. Stugats. They call him Pooka. Pooka. Pooka Nakua. His quarterback is not named Tua. Yeah. Yeah, he is Pooka. Pooka.

Pooka Nakua. This is the Don Lebatard Show with the Stugats. Alright so earlier in the show we had the March sadness bracket, the region for songs. This next region is for the club. We got club sounds here and it's, there's some intense battles going on here. Is it as, as- Poorly seated? Yes.

Is it? Okay. Well, that's debatable. Is it absolutely as poorly seated? All right, let's start here with a two seed. We have Dabo Sweeney, it was a very popular sound this, this year. A caller complaining about Clemson and Dabo Sweeney, it was a very popular sound this year, a caller complaining about Clemson and Dabo was just not having it.

Why are we paying you $11,000 million to go four and four and it's not just this year, it's been just for a few years or so. It's not, all right, what's wrong with eight dollars? Eight dollars, I'm literally lying to you. You can have all your opinions if you want. I don't know how old you are, don't really care. Let me tell you something.

You went around in age last year, and you're part of the problem. To be honest with you, the cognitive part of the problem is people like you, if you stick to all you do is the appreciation, the expectation is greater than the appreciation. And that's the problem. And my part of it, you know, I'm far from it. And I am a man of faith.

Absolutely. I'm 53 years old. But there is one thing in my life that I've been a part of for many times. But there is one thing in my life that I ever failed at. It was really just building up to that last clip of him just being just the most dismissive name you could ever say about somebody. Tyler.

So that is going up against 15 seed, Michigan coach crying on the field when Jim Harbaugh was not there. Well, I thank the Lord. Well, I thank Coach Harbaugh. I love you, man. Love thank Coach Harbaugh, I f**king love you man. I love the s**t out of you man. This is for you.

For this university, the president, our AD, we got the best players, best university, best alumni in the country. Love you guys, these f**king guys right here, these guys right here man. These guys did it, these guys did it, man. Juju, correct me if I'm wrong. That's reminiscent, right? Can't hardly wait. It's all about the memories, man. Bro, that was a crocodile tear coming out of that brother's face.

Preston? Preston Myers? Let me remind you March Sadness is presented by Get Your Guide. Discover over 100,000 unforgettable travel experiences in the US and around the world at GetYourGuide.com. We keep it moving here in the club region. Stephen A. Smith went on an epic rant about Jason Whitlock. We're not gonna play the entire thing. This is a one seed, right?

This is a three seed. And this is just his dismount, and it's one of the best clips of the year, easily. You fat piece of shit. And that wasn't a top two seed. And that is competing with Todd Bowles just really not making much sense. You, you.

Looking forward towards Detroit, the weather has been a factor in some of the playoff games even for the most prepared teams today. It's 13 in Detroit, which doesn't compare to some of the temperatures in games even for the most prepared teams. Today it's 13 in Detroit which doesn't compare to some of the temperatures we've been talking about. Any special plans to acclimate the team to not only endure but perform in those kind of frigid temperatures should you face them in Detroit? You do know we play indoors right in the outer dome. I don't know. No, nothing planned. We're indoors.

He was making fun of the reporters there. I said Todd Bowles. This is a lot. My head's spinning in here, I'm sorry. We're chucking a lot in here. That's okay, that's okay. It's drinking out of a fire hose, right? That's what Dan says.

Hmm. Let's go in next. Wow. Let's go next to five versus 12. The five seed, this is a great clip of Paul McCartney complaining about foreigner not being in the Hall of Fame. Foreigner not in the Hall of Fame? What the fuck?

That's the best clip we have. Five seed? Fraud by the way, McCartney. Because he's dead? Because he's good after all these years though. Why is he a fraud? He's a fraud, man. He was talking shit about Phil Collins

back in the day I didn't like it. So that was the day I- Back when Lawrence Olivier was alive? Yeah, man. Watch yourself. Watch yourself. You don't want thin eyes there, buddy. Who's-

The 12th seat is mayor of New York, Eric Adams, just stepping in it. Mr. Mayor, we've come to the end of what was a very eventful 2023, right? So when you look at the totality of the year, if you had to describe it in the stuff to do in one word, what would that word be and tell me why? New York.

This is a place where every day you wake up, you could experience everything from a plane crashing into our trade center to a Person who's celebrating a new business that's open This is a very very complicated city And that's why this is greatest city on the globe 512 upset rears its head again because boys Eric Adams if he don't move on to the next round, I'm gonna question these listeners for sure. All right.

Eight, nine matchup. We have Lucy with one of her most epic quotes of the year, I would say. I was getting bitches left and right. That might be the favorite to come out the whole nation. God, it's so good. I was, guess what? One of them texted me back this week

and asked if I could hang out. Hey. I'm busy though. Sorry, Lexi. And that is competing with a nine seed. It's a clip of me talking about my wife and I'm worried that she might be cheating on me. Can I be vulnerable for a second?

Billy shared and he was vulnerable there so I wanna be vulnerable. If you find out your spouse or significant other is playing wordle with somebody that you were unaware of, is catching your wife in a wordle game the same as catching Your wife at lunch Don't you play wordle with someone No, you should be the game where you send words you have generally trouble with words is it friends with benefits Yeah with benefits? Yeah, you should be wrong. Is it a dude is a dude? Oh, yeah, okay be concerned

What's the line where's the line I'm like what's going on? Well, you're saying but this is what you're saying All right. Yeah, Lucy's gonna beat me there. This is gonna be me there feeling real good.

This is not her grandma this time, but some of Jessica's best work in the club this year was misogynistic Bane And that is competing with the time that I threatened to kill Santa I threatened to kill Santa I threatened to kill Santa. I threatened to kill Santa. Whoa! Kill? Like murder him? It needed to be done. It's not bad enough that she has to witness Santa dead

in a pool of his own blood. If you pee in this bed one more time, well it's my bed. She now has to imagine her father in jail for murder. How'd your wife take that? Famously for murdering Santa. That's right. Bruh, I predict this.

Misogynistic Bane will win, go all the way. Making a deep run, I think. I agree with that. Win the region? The national championship. The national championship? No way. Over nice hat asshole, you're crazy.

This is the Don LeBattar Show with the StuGats. One thing that I really regret not asking David Sampson about earlier is the full-on assault the NFL is having on the NBA. For the third consecutive year, they're doing NFL Christmas. This time, they can't even lie. I say, well, it was kind of near Sunday or Monday. It's a Wednesday this year. They're going doubleheader on Wednesday, Christmas. And I'm just like, you know what? You got got, NBA.

You got punked out. My man said he want your fruit cup, and you have to come up off of it. And there is no squirrel master that's going to save you. I see your milkshake. I see your milkshake I drink your milkshake. Do we want NFL Christmas? That sounds like a dumb question but of course we do. So here's my issue with NFL Christmas right you got the Christmas you're there with the family you're doing either a breakfast or a lunch or a dinner you're you know opening presents you got little

kids they're opening presents people taking videos everybody loves it but the problem is I got to be locked in on my NFL, right? So then I have to watch Raiders Chiefs in a rainy game on Christmas while my nephews and nieces are opening up presents They're like why can't you uh, and I'm like, well, I mean you do got a Sunday Night Live I need to know what I'm talking about. My home's got sacks seven times Max Crosby's a beast I wouldn't know that ready watch I Have you smoking for some reason in this. Come on, come on, come on.

I'm going to go into the finest brandy. What? Hurry, hurry, hurry. Time out. The other news in the NFL this week, we got the hip drop tackle banned. And for the life of me, I've watched 8 million clips. I still don't know what a hip drop tackle is.

It looks like a tackle. All I know is it's gonna make every game much more complicated and annoying. That's all I know. For sure, but like, it starts with, I watched the clips of the hip drop tackle, and I said, okay, if they can't tackle like that, then how the hell are they supposed to tackle?

Put a hat in a hat. That's a tackle! That's not like that's not a it's not like a horse collar or something that has a very Signature look to it. It looks like a tackle now. You could tell a hip drop tackle What's so you're grabbing somebody by the waist and then you're using your momentum to almost like bring them down The problem is when you're when you're turning them around like that their legs get caught up There's been like six tight ends that have had their legs completely destroyed by hip drop tackles and Jordan Travis and Jordan Travis, right? Yeah, so when you it's the momentum. I think it's the momentum when Joe come here Jeremy. There you go We're video audience. We're getting a good he's running. Yeah, he's running. I'm catching him here I'm turning him nice

This so let me let my don't don't sit down yet I'm catching him here and turning him on a tackle. So let me, don't sit down yet Jeremy, because we're gonna take this a step further. And imagine also Jeremy is not just Jeremy, it's like Nick Chubb or Danny Henry, so you have to do that to him. So now you can't do that anymore. How are you supposed to tackle someone

that big running that fast? Well if he's running from, if I'm trying to catch him from behind I'm doing a classic shoelace tackle right I gotta go. Oh, well. How's your uncle? Well? No, that's that's in the pile So I'm going low trying to wrap his feet right or I'm going high Down unless he's a quarterback then you can't go too low or too You gotta go right exactly right have to yeah shoulder Billy. Hey, yeah, the shoulder drop tackle seems just as dangerous Receiver yeah, it is saying like that. That's not a great. I'm not happy with the rule I'm just saying like isn't that drop tackle when you just like basically

Like throw all your body weight Like you just like lose possess like your soul leaves your body and you just fall straight to the ground and that's how you injure them Right. You just are like Bring them down with you. Isn't that how you tackle? That's the issue Tony stand still Billy who's been here all the whole time by the way He can actually injure me here. So know what Jeremy, hold on Jeremy you do it. I'm fine. I'm here to demonstrate. Yeah Jeremy's got you. They don't pay me enough to do that. I look at my men in the eyes when I tackle them. Look at me in the eyes. But it's not. What's happening? You're not gonna lead with your head. I'm showing a proper tackle. Proper tackle.

Proper tackle. Proper tackle technique. Don't worry. No, this will go well. Don't lead with your head. Right. You don't wanna lead with the crowd. No, that's bad.

Put your arms up. He's about to tackle him. You gotta go through. You round. Nice. Oh, whoa! Jesus! Like that.

Goberg! Low man wins. Like that. And Jeremy's dead But it was a legal tackle very legal very above board. They actually would have thrown a flag on that So no they wouldn't have I didn't even you can't drop him like that. Why I didn't want to hurt him So I didn't follow through didn't follow through it. I just went yeah, you're not inhale, but if you can't do that What can we do? That's my point, Billy.

Can't even kick the ball off anymore. Because here's the thing, that works. Sorry, Jeremy. That works face to face, but again. I'm suing the company. In a situation where. You're running behind them. My knee hurts, I mean, so you.

You're trying to chase them down. Oh my God. What? You're trying to chase someone down. Like, just wrapping around them isn't gonna be enough. Just jumping on them, if they're going forward They can boost and go forward the only way to stop someone running away from you at some point is yeah It's the hip drop bringing them back. You got you loose now you guys said You guys said a bunch of guys got hurt recently

Over the last 25 years how many people gotten hurt off of that specific tackle? Probably a lot that we haven't thought one person got hurt off a tackle today millions almost I think but it's the same Conversation you have about the horse collar tackle how many people got hurt in the horse collar last probably a ton Seems like an avoidable type of tackle though this I'm dead serious if you can't tackle someone like that I don't know how you stop a guy running away I just don't especially Derek Derrick Henry is hard. Swiping at the feet is like the only way. Do you think that Derrick Henry purposefully didn't sign until the rule was outlawed?

So that that way he could get more money? Because everybody realized he would be really good? I'm listening. You got his third eye open. That's all I'm saying. But Ballu Minati coming soon. How do we feel about the NFL lifting off of XFL rules? Smart.

What rules are you, what rules are you specifically talking about? The kickoff. The new kickoff, the new kickoff. What are the new kickoff rules? Oh, I'm glad that you asked me, Juju. The new kickoff rule is now that there's a kind of a receiving zone and so now instead of the players

starting all the way back and running 100 miles an hour and then crashing into each other, they're all kind of bunched into a smaller zone. So that eliminates kind of the speed of these collisions when they happen. They're more close quarters to begin with. Want a demonstration, Jeremy? Yeah.

Line up here next to me. Absolutely not. No, you just stand right in front of them, you're good. Mark and Jeremy, I think, look, for player safety, whatever advancements need to be made, I feel like I'm with it. I think they should start playing in those big puffy practice helmets. They're so adorable, number one. And also, why not? If y'all practicing them, it seems illogical.

I feel like they're just really uncomfortable, right? Because it's so much more on top of you. You know what else could be comfortable Concussion syndrome that's very uncomfortable Ct I have that now you you know what's what's funny is and this is this is my ignorance So y'all got to bear with me when I heard the NFL has new kickoff rules, and they're taking them from the XFL I swear to God I thought it would remember the first XFL where they put the ball kick off and they had to run and the first guy to get to the

ball that's who got the like dodgeball yeah like dodgeball rules that's what I thought and I was like holy shit that would be awesome I'm locked in now here we are that's what gets you back into football except old XFL rules absolutely next up jerseys where I could have my nickname on him. He hate me One of the best jerseys out there ever one of the best jerseys ever I defy Oh Speaking of Jersey talk I have a question so yesterday on my way to Heat Warriors I see a guy wearing a Wade Jersey, but it's not any way Jersey It's a Heat culture way Jersey will clearly Dwayne Wade did not play when they had the heat culture Jersey dangerous game

I mean and don't like it when you bring that up Well, I just want to say like this this Jersey's rather new but Dwayne Wade wasn't here for this He was somewhere else right so my question is is there any other player? For any other franchise in sports well you where you will see the new design for that old player. Yup, Udonis Haslem. Probably a ton of legends. Right, Penny Hardaway. I have never seen a Penny Hardaway modern Orlando jersey. Matter of fact, Shaq. I would say Shaquille O'Day.

You've seen a Shaq modern? They got a whole bunch of Shaq knockoffs and moderns. I'm not talking about knockoffs. I've seen Marino. I've seen Dan Marino like with the new logo. Really? For sure. Wow.

I don't think this is, I think this is pretty common. I've never seen it. Pretty comms. Okay, okay, okay. Let me take it another level. How many of those legends own another team? Not affiliated with the franchise anymore. Why'd you just throw your pen?

How dare you say Dwayne Wade's not affiliated with the franchise anymore. Why'd you just throw your pen? How dare you say Dwayne Wade's not affiliated with the franchise? Emphasis on the right syllable. I can't think of any other owners or people affiliated with jerseys. I'm not sure the logistics of this at all. Well I'll give you the logistics. Grant Hill is a current part owner of the Hawks. I don't see current Grant Hill Pistons jerseys.

I do see Pistons jerseys. I do see, the pistons? The modern motor city, you see the motor city with Hill on the back? That's what I'm talking, I'm not just talking about jerseys. I'm pretty sure if you go to Detroit into that arena, you can find you a Motor City Hill jersey. Well, I'm gonna tell you right now, first of all, not going to Detroit.

It's not gonna happen. So quit asking. Maybe in the summertime. Yeah. But not now, not gonna happen. So quit asking. Maybe in the summertime. Yeah. But not now, not in season. Even though Monty Williams is probably upset about it. Monty Williams, lots of complaining about the Knicks this year. Lots of complaining about the Knicks this year.

Let me just throw that out there. Speaking of in season, do you think the Lakers with this in season tournament trophy, is it gonna matter at all next year? Because the Lakers had such a decline after winning that, do you think the same fervor and the same vigor is gonna be attached? Now it's becoming the curse of the in season tournament. Because they won it and now they're falling off. Unless they straighten up because they're looking good.

They looked good last night against the Bucs. Well, everybody who played in in season tournament in Vegas, other than Pelicans, Pelicans have done better, but like the Bucks kind of struggled, the Pacers, they struggled, the Lakers clearly have struggled, the Pelicans who got blown out, the only ones that actually doing well.

So the in-season tournament, bad for basketball, on the next Dan LeVittar Show. But since we have 50 seconds left, I think that we should, I mean, Halliburton was one of the stars of the end season tournament. And the load management situation has gotten, without being eligible for the awards and playing a certain amount of games, I feel like he hurt himself by trying to be eligible for some of these awards. And I think that that has kind of hurt the Pacers chances moving forward. Absolutely. Same thing with Joel Embiid, who literally hurt himself trying to do that.

But guys, I've had such a fun time. I also hurt myself. I think there's concrete underneath this carpet. I'm excited for Tony Brackets coming up in the post game show. Oh yeah. We do have a post game with Tony Brackets. Who's, in which percentile? 96 percentile of all Brackets. I'm so proud of you. Hey, you know what? You and me. Wow. Are you? My real dad never, my real dad never plays catch with me. Hey, I look,

I'm your step dad, but I'm the dad that stepped in. Thank you. Hey, it's Mike. And first off, let me thank you. A lot of people have hit me up privately curious about my fishtail palms. And I just got some landscaping done. And hit me up privately, curious about my fishtail palms and I just got some landscaping done and let me tell you, they've never looked better. I've got light shining on them and now every night I go outside, sit on my patio, look at my fishtail palms and drink some Miller Lite. Yeah, a lot has changed over the years.
