The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Hour 2: Greg Cote Holds His Breath For One Minute

Episode Date: August 6, 2024

Greg has a new obsession with a submarine website, and the Chicago White Sox's ineptitude help us produce not one but TWO Gasbags of the Day. Then, after Stugotz shares his Top 5 People In Sports Who Connote Die and his Top 5 People In Sports Who Connote Produce, Greg makes an attempt to hold his breath for one minute. Will he do it? Will he faint? Find out the exclusive results on the Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz. Also, Dan is blown away by Snoop Dogg's Olympic coverage, and Greg has some words for Simone Biles that leave Jess ducking her head in shame. Finally, Hasan Piker is one of the most influential political commentators around, streaming on Twitch for 8 hours a day. He joins the show from his morning basketball workout to discuss the Democratic Party's selection of Tim Walz for Vice President, why Walz ended up being the candidate, why the Democrats should be on the offensive with progressive messaging, how Republicans are hyper-focused on "things that don't matter," and the fallacy of migrant crime and why it's being used as a right-wing talking point.

Buf Bonser was never brave. So that was just an acquisition that I made in MVP baseball that just stuck with me and it was kind of like Mandela. Where'd he play? I think it was the Twins.

San Francisco, Minnesota Twin as well. Buildsubmarines.com is a slick effort by the Navy. As if the armed forces spending in NASCAR has gone well, they decided to go back to that well. But it does seem cool. I think I'd like to build submarines over, you know, fight in one. Yeah. Submarines are a bit terrifying to me.

I don't like the idea of them. I would get claustrophobic in something like that. It would seem, I wouldn't trust a submarine. It seems like a really stressful work environment, especially if you get like half an EAS. Are you manning the submarine? I mean, are you in a Navy submarine? I'm manning the submarine in that I would be a man

in the submarine. But what if I told you for like near a million dollars? I can get you and about six of your friends in a private submarine to see the Titanic Put up the the photo of Mike Ryan with pitbull. It's one of the better costumes we've ever had around here I do not I do not blame pitbull for being very excited that someone would come that close to recreating You know me I was quote crazy for this one It was it was one it was a seminal moment in this show's history I want to Greg you had already given us do you think I can fit in that suit oh no way no correct after eight years and 40 pounds it's terrible

feeling it is not great but someone do something to my suit Greg you you did go to building submarine comm you reported the news before my guy and that this was a lovely website yeah that you thought it was ingenious advertises it's a brilliant ad campaign i really do because the idea of building submarines is fun it's a go-to website name if nothing else you want to build your own submarine you know i mean you know i must build rocket ships like and i build my own

submarine i uh... i have been disappointed today I said, I wanted to start this long-term relationship with Armando today. I wanted to have legs today. But I am certainly used to around here hearing a lot about wonderful and great ideas that never end up happening. One of them that I thought was ingenious billy this was your idea and then i don't know what happened i went on vacation and happened

we had a billboard possibility here all over south florida that would have been uh... you would have done a qr code on a billboard and you would have gone to it would have just been that and it would have just said uh... something religious about uh... you know saving somebody or uh... and and then you would have just gotten inside and it would have been uh... connor mcdavid is not a savior he's overrated uh... that's what would

have been inside we would have billboards all over south florida i thought it was going to be executed why out while i was gone what happened well so this is gonna happen. You left. It was gonna happen in Edmonton, because we got turned down by Edmonton by multiple people. Regrettably. Yeah, so then what was gonna happen

is we came up with like an acronym and the letter spelled out choke and it was gonna be on a board and it was just gonna be like very vague in a QR code and it was gonna be like healing, emotion, like things like that. So like to maybe entice people that are looking for, you know, like salvation to click on this thing.

And then once they clicked on that, we were gonna have also a fake website to get it by the campaign. So it'd be a fake website. And then once we announced it live, we're gonna change the website. And then I was gonna say about how much Connor McDaver is not your salvation, he's a choker.

So that was gonna happen in Edmonton, and then what ended up happening is then we put our efforts into finding a billboard in South Africa that you were gonna see by the airport with Greg Cody's face. And we were trying to figure out when you were gonna drive by the airport to see Greg Cody's face.

What a great joke. Yeah, and then what ended up happening is you just got like six around South Florida. No, we got a couple here. The price was right. It was free, I think. What ended up happening is we didn't do anything. But we looked at South Africa and have Greg Cote surprise you

on vacation. Inspired. You get points for the idea. No, you don't. All we do is have ideas that we don't complete around here, including meeting up with Pitbull today. But no points for having one? No.

Do I get any points? We should interview Booth Bonser. Ooh. That's my contribution. How about this, Dan? Can we finish that story? Two points. Yes, I would love to interview Booth Bonser.

I would also love to interview today someone talking about produce from a produce section somewhere that can tell us whether or not it's okay to break ginger in half. I would also love for somebody to bring in pickle brine so that Greg Cody can drink it during the show. But none of those things will actually happen. Get Steve Corder, we need him on the list.

Well, I have something you might like, Dan. It's a segment that you're always talking about and we haven't done that many times. Gas Bag of the Week, you wanna do that? Yes, please let's do, finally, thank you. I wanna win this. It's a segment that you're always talking about and we haven't done that many times. Gas Bag of the Week. You want to do that? Oh wow. Yes. Please let's do it.

Finally. Thank you. I want to win this. Gas Bag of the Week. Who is our Gas Bag of the Week? Gas Bag of the Week. Grafol has been turned into this obsequious, sniveling- I don't know if he's been turned into this obsequious, sniveling... I don't know if he's been turned into anything.

This absolute Uriah heap where, oh, Jerry's a great man, a great man who wants to win. He's a great man. I think that he's always been that. If you talk to people who know Pager or have known Pager Grafol, that's one of the things that I was told to look out for, that he's a climber. Just an inveterate suck-ass. And this, oh, Jerry's had tough decisions to make. It's not a tough decision to fire your dumb ass.

That's an easy decision. He doesn't make it because they don't want the aggravation to have to slide somebody else in there and maybe give somebody a bump in salary. You're paid no matter what. Put Pager out of his damn misery already. That's Dan Bernstein of 670, the score railing against the Chicago White Sox who have now lost 21 straight.

That's actually led to our first ever follow-up video in the Gas Packet League, because things are not going well for the Chicago White Sox at the moment, Dan. That mean Pedro is 100 games on the 500. Yes. Then he got the job. He's 100 games under. Oh boy. Yeah that's tough. So I gotta go to college tomorrow. No I do. I had to bring my because some three years ago I was happy man now and I'm bitter and Three years ago, I was happy, but now I'm bitter and weird. You're bitter watching this team play?

No, just like, because I don't think I was the bad manager when they picked Pedro in front of me. I got a serious picture. I'm drinking a lot. You are? I have problems with my wife a lot. The only people who get along with me is my grandkids. Everybody out, I hate them. I don't know why don't think that person that's why i swear to god personally i'm not playing around a lot

I'm watching the Summer Games and I can tell you that with all the blood, sweat and tears that these athletes lose during competition, they need all the hydration that they can get.

Stugats. I'm a grown-ass man who's not who's not filthy rich. I can't afford a Lamborghini. Well, I probably can, but that's... Whoa! Hey! Oh, big flex. Wow.

Big flex. All right. This is the Dan Leventhal Show with the Stugats. This episode of the Dan Leventhal Show with Stugats is presented by Smirnoff. We do game days. Please drink responsibly. The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York.

Over the next couple of months, we're going to have some big announcements around here that are going to be fun and exciting. And over the next couple of months, we're also going to lean into some things that we probably haven't done a ton of before because of the nature of where America is. Hasan Piker is going to join us to god's he is a uh... he he's on twitch eight hours a day and he's becoming new and popular and influential political commentator and i have told the audience before that i don't talk about politics around here i have all my life talked about race and then that ends up becoming politics because now everything is

politics but over the next few months we're going to try and get you some and then that ends up becoming politics because now everything is politics. But over the next few months we're gonna try and get you some voices and some angles from people. Who's breathing so hard? Is that you, Cody? Who's breathing hard into the microphone? I'm breathing very easily. It doesn't sound like it. You sound a little strained in general. Roy, you're with me on this, right? Even him saying I'm breathing very easily sounded like it was coming through a cheese grater. Yeah, that doesn't sound easy huh okay I tell

you what when I'm not speaking how about I go like that or you can just breathe quieter like you could just not stop breathing we don't know nobody here wants that nobody here wants that we all dread that day don't stop breathing but you could breathe a little quieter when the microphone is right under your beak. Okay. I'll take the blame for that. I'll just, you know, the mic is probably too hot on Greg. It's not Greg's fault.

Greg's doing a great job of breathing. Good pace, good in, good out. Let me just turn down his mic a little bit when he's breathing. Because I think that it's just turned up and the mic's a little too sensitive. Because Greg's doing a great job today. Thank you, Billy.

The whole time he's breathing? No. That would be the whole show. Play it by ear. Play it by ear. Figure it out. I can hold my breath. How long?

Not very long. Let's not do that. I'll hold my breath for like a minute, or a minute and a half. You can't do it for a minute. Oh yeah. Really? Olympic competition.

I think old Greg Goat back in the day used to go under water in a pool and hold his breath longer than any other kid around. Greg, you can't and shouldn't hold your breath for a minute. We can try it if you want. Why don't you practice it on your drive home? No, not in the car. Bad idea. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, trying as an exercise from the maker of a staring contest on his audio podcast, The Greg Cody Show. That was a good one. Great idea, man. I would be for just sitting here and watching him hold his breath for a full minute, and

I assure you he's not going to be able to do it. I don't think he's going to be able to do it. But the problem with any exercise with Greg Cody is that I just ask, can we get some pickle brine in here for next week so, can we get some pickle brine in here for next week so that he can drink some pickle brine, and he's like, ooh, I'm on a lot of high blood pressure medication, I don't want to. Dr. Ritchie Peltz Yeah, hip-uh, geez. Dr. Darrell Bock It's dangerous.

Dr. Ritchie Peltz Well, he's right. I mean, yeah. Dr. Darrell Bock It is dangerous to drink a bunch of salt. Even if you're not on high blood pressure medication, you drink pickle brine, you're going to need it afterward. Dr. Ritchie Peltz Yeah. Yeah, my doctor says I need much more sodium in my diet, so I guess I should drink more pickle juice.

Now, we're on blood pressure medication, like about 40% of everyone is, so. Put it on the poll, please, at Levittard Show. It seems like you ran out of breath there. Well said. It seems like everyone. At Levittard Show, is 40% of everyone, no, this is about when he starts to fade yes is 40% of everyone on high blood pressure medication yes or no Stugats has a couple of top five lists that are ready to put a bow on some of the things we've done today one of them is top five players in sports

who can out die. Yes, dice. The plural of dice, not hair dye or not people dyeing, like Greg Cody would do if he held his breath for a minute. And top five people in sports who canote through their name produce. Yes, something you would find in the produce aisle at a supermarket. Right, not production, not what you think of as production in sports, produce. Like ginger from Gilligan's Island. Like albanana.

Like ginger that you crack in half. Ginger that you crack in half. Albanana, let me scratch him off. Yeah, you gotta get rid of the albanana. I should've used cilantro. Albanana, this is not how you play the game. But it's just produce, like it can't be Jared Mayo. I don't know.

That's a condiment. That's a condiment, different category. That's things you would find in the supermarket in general we could play that game No, well, what about juice that's next to the produce? Oh, no, but it's not produce. It's Bill Rafter recount onions Let's see, let's see. Which one do you want to do first? I just thought of a good one. Let's do produce All right top five. Let's see if yours is better than any in his top five. Let's see. Ready? No, you wait until he...

Oh, okay. Okay. Why would I want to... This is a man that can hold his breath, I'm telling you. Come on, it's noon. They're sharp as a tack today. Sharp as a carpet tack. Mm-hmm.

Have you noticed that this is when you tend to deteriorate on Tuesdays, or have you not noticed this? I'm just peeking. Yeah. Number five, Stugatser, do we have any OLI? No, just a straight five. Is this just sports or all of entertainment? These are top five people in sports, athletes,

who can note something you would find in the produce aisle at a supermarket. So no Gene Shallot? I mean, you say people in sports. That's produce. Coaches, like you just said, athletes there, so you need to clarify. At mean you say people in sports. That's produce. Coaches like you just said athletes there so you need the... At this point just giving the five would be quicker. Number five. That's true. Kelsey Plum. Number four. Eli Apple. Number three. Don Cherry.

And number one. Daryl Strawberry. A fine list. Greg Cody, do you have any? Julius Peppers. Do you have any better than that? Yeah. I had Bob Lemon not knowing he was going to do Cleo Lemon.

I had that audible. Ralph Pomegranate. Paul Ralphie. Good list. Thank you. Thank you everyone. Ralph pomegranate Good list. Pomegranate. Thank you everyone. So your ad-lib off of Bob Lemon when you scurried away because he stole it with Cleo Lemon was to go Rob pomegranate.

Ralph. Oh sorry. Yeah, come on that's another side. Rob was his little known brother. My bad. It's such a bad a bad it's just such a sh joke you love to make but i've never said the word problem making it for fifty years you change someone's name to albanian

you've been making it they may be to to it without banana and i'll get on back on the back end with ralph pomegranate it can pop it yeah not the same. K Paul. Five top five players, athletes, people in sports who canote die. Number five Stu Gutch. Andrew Luck. Number four. Jermaine Die. Number three. Antrel Roll. Number number two roll the dice there no dice K number one Antonio McDyce

car Dale Jones oh my list yeah well I it is his list list. Do you have something else that you wanted to get to? You're still staring at the list. I'm staring at Antonio McDyce, because when he played, that's all I did was stare at Antonio McDyce. He's just one of those guys you stare at when he's playing basketball. He was chiseled, man.

He was very muscular. John Bones Jones. Ooh. I counted, by the way, Greg did the 60 seconds with no breathing. He just didn't want to distract anyone. No, we can do that, Billy, if you insist. You're the executive producer today and it's going great. And we have, if you want to just stare as we wait for Hassan Piker, everything, you

get everything out there in the clearing out of everything of your fine breathing. If I'm going to do it, I have to enter a zone. Can you get near the microphone, please? That's my fault. I turned it down. Hold on a second. You won't hear me do it, I have to enter a zone. Can you get near the microphone, please, when you're talking? That's my fault. I turned it down. Get the zone. Hold on a second. You won't hear me. No, you didn't tone it down. No. Just like a professional, Greg,

at the end of a work day, pretend like you're still here broadcasting and working with us, okay? I know you checked out as soon as we promoted your podcast a bunch of times, but stay with us here. You want me to hold my breath or no? All right, we're gonna do this then. I don't think it's a good idea, but I don us here you know my brother no all right we're gonna do this then i don't think it's a good idea but i don't think you realize how long a minute actually is so we're just gonna sit

here and stare at the at the clock as you try to hold your breath while are you ready at the sixteen minute mark you try and hold your breath for a minute we're just gonna stare at you i think this is terrible idea and i think you're going to be is going to gonna try cheat but so they said about landing on the moon four three two one okay Craig is holding his breath presently over four seconds a smiling is a smile what if a nostril moves? Because I can see him cheating under these circumstances. No, he's doing fine.

Those nostrils are substantive. They could sneak air without us realizing it. Potentially. Is his chest moving? No, I don't see any chest movement. No, he's doing great so far. You're halfway there, Greg. 30 seconds.

Only 50 more seconds to go. What if he's dead? No, he's not dead. He's there. I can I can tell he's got a good question though lively look to him there but also He closed his eyes there, but that's not cheating that him grunting I know like something here No, 53 seconds, seven to go, six, five, four, three, two, one. And Greg has done it. History has been made. Greg Cody helped his brother. This is the part that we have to worry about though.

Did you feel like quitting at any point? When were you worried? When did you get worried? Unbelievable. You said 90 seconds, you could do 90 seconds. I was praying that the minute would be up. Incredible. When? When did you start praying? Well, when somebody said seven seconds to go, I had to really work for those last seven

seconds. The last seven are always the hardest seven, that's what they say. If this were 2020, we would be able to diagnose that you do not have COVID right now. Wow, really? Big Dave. You guys don't remember when that was a thing? It was like, if you can hold your breath for 20 seconds,

you don't have COVID. Really? How about that? We all just memory hold it, I get it. As I said, we are gonna get to Hassan Piker. We're waiting for Hassan Piker to get here. Eight hours a day on Twitch, huh? Well, not just eight. Somebody who does more than us. eight hours a day on twitch uh... will not just only does more than us eight hours a day on twitch twice as much as what we do and uh... the political commentary uh... keeps

giving you like that that it at every day gives you more and more to talk about it is something that you can if you have some fluency on the subject matter you can spend eight hours a day talking about just how weird everything in America has gotten. But before we get to him, I wanted to ask you guys if anyone has been able to verify whether or not Snoop Dogg is being paid an exorbitant amount of money for being the Olympic mascot the way he has been being around everything and helping peacock sell these games in a way that was uh... that wasn't is smart i would assume that you would have to pay uh... a substantive amount of money to get snoop dog

to be this kind of symbol uh... and salesman on behalf of everything that peacock is doing to garner attention and i i told you when i was talking about LeBron James and the marvel of what he is doing at his age, Stu Gatz, that LeBron James is the second most improbable story to see at the center of these Olympics from America at his age.

Snoop Dogg from a murder trial, his 30 years of relevance is, I dare say, unlike anyone in the history of hip-hop and yeah hip-hop is you know 50 years old there are plenty of guys in their 50s but nobody gets to be this like he has done commercials like with the uh I think it was like about Lea Iacocca and AOL and I was surprised to see that like 15 and 20 years ago to see him go and be that mainstream for him to cross over from hip-hop and summit i mean when you come from death rose to got some done ice cube has it has been in and out of public uh...

favor because his his politics in assortment of things people find objectionable nobody gets to be beloved this long from hip-hop and go from murder trial to this kind of olympic mainstream it's just a super unusual story the reports are and this is according to four of magazine is that snoop is getting paid five hundred thousand dollars every single day plus expenses. He's worth every penny. Can you tell me when you say Forbes is reporting that because the way that I had heard that reported I did not like the credibility of the report. Claimed he heard it from

an NBC executive? That one? Well who claimed they heard it? Overheard it. Who? Henry McNamara, one of the world's most influential young entrepreneurs according to Forbes, claimed he heard from an mbc executive that's it was getting paid a half million dollars a day uh... okay so that the clinton's the report that feels like what you gave it to forbes and you gave it the weight of forbes after we had a conversation about the credibility of a dion sanders story and it was just over her d at the olympics by an entrepreneur is different than forbes is reporting it uh... that's fair my apologies to forbes i i just don't know how much that would

actually be worth because i would imagine snoop dog would not be cheap some people have theorized that this is just part of a promotional effort because he's part of the voice show correct which is also very popular. And so I don't know what any of this would cost, but I would pay a substantive amount to have the whiff, I just can't believe I'm saying any of this, the whiff of this marijuana smoke around my Olympic events. Like the idea that he has outlasted the stigma

the american public stigma of just met their line murder of murder accusation of murder trial the stigma of marijuana that he's outlasted it it's one of the greatest stories in the history of american pop culture no joke that this guy gets to fit in in every environment he goes to whether it's at at a fencing event or whether it's running with death row. Well Flavor Flav is also charged with attempted murder and he's there too, so.

Right. This guy Henry McNamara said that he sat next to the NBC executive at dinner. I mean, this is reporting. This is a good time to mention to our audience, don't commit murder because if you're innocent. Good advice. Like look what you can become. Just to be clear also, cause there's a little bit of confusion there. I think marijuana is not as serious as murder.

Cause there seem to be like things that we've forgiven. It seemed like we were putting them on a level playing field. I don't think that they are equal. Well, one of them he was not guilty of, one of them he is guilty of. Murder, not guilty. Marijuana smoke, 30 plus years. I mean life in hip-hop is always about, you know, tearing down preconceived notions. It was the great Dan Lebatard who once said you got to party

for your right. To fight. Yeah. That's a public, somewhere in there was a public enemy song that I that I was mixing it up with because they Know they did they did they have a lyric somewhere fight nice. I'm a fire party for your right fight the power like that Yeah, no, I'll trust you on this one trying to sound older, huh? I'm gonna find it I'm gonna find it. I am. I'm going to find what it is that I was mixing that up with before the end of the show and perhaps as soon as we find Hassan Piker as well. We're gonna get to Stugatz's weekend observations here at some point as well, but I have still not gotten... We started the show here and I'm scared this late in the show to go to this because when we started the show here it ended in a place where greg and still got

were deciding that they get to decide who's american low-level well we never said that i said it yet but all of us at all from still got his unpopular opinion yesterday that got him in trouble with a lot of people because you went after simone byles on greg cody also also has some Simone Biles opinions that I believe to be controversial. I don't know if you're gonna wade into the waters as deep as Dugats is, are you? Well I just want to quote something she tweeted and it'll always be Twitter to me not X. Simone Biles said, and by guys I assume she meant fans and media.

She said, you guys really need to stop asking athletes what's next after they win a medal at the Olympics. Simone, you're in a profession that attracts attention and publicity. You're the GOAT. You're the all-time greatest gymnast. You've hinted that you may continue not retire and be back for the l.a. games in twenty twenty eight but you haven't made that definitive it would be negligent

for fans not to wonder and for a median not to ask what's next so don't go on twitter and and act a great umbrage in insult that anyone would ask you what's next when that's one of the big stories in sports if you're still doing this at thirty one

and and still winning another gold medal and and the go to them continues for four more years huge story everybody wants to know someday people will stop caring about sim Biles. Don't hurry that day Hmm Jessica has dropped her head in her hands. I'm off the hook it seems There is great shame all around us now and on top of that you're breathless Oh, I regret not going to a meet immediately going to you after were after you had held your breath I could hold my breath for a minute and a half now if I wanted to. Oh boy.

Let's do that. Let's do that now. You're still reeling. Jessica, why did your head drop into your hands? It was like such a profound take from Greg. I admired how seriously you took that. Gold medal for Greg today on takes. It's, you know, it's a take.

What can I tell you? Do you guys want to hear any of Public Enemies' party for your right to fight? No, thank you. I have it right here on my phone. No? You guys are good. I think we don't want our YouTube video taken down for that. Or to see you try to find a way to play music off your phone.

I doubt that you found the song. I did find it, I got it right here. Oh, we don't? Yeah, but not the traditional way. What do you mean not the song. I did find it. I got it right here. Oh, he does? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But not the traditional way. Yes. What do you mean, not the traditional way? Go to iTunes. Just sing it like we did with Lucy.

Well, I had to find it first. I wasn't too. Go to iTunes? I wasn't too. Go to Spotify. Go anywhere. Come a few bars. Yeah.

Ha ha ha. iTunes. Go to iTunes and load up your shuffle. It felt old as it came out of my mouth. I got to be on iTunes. But Mike, look where he went. I mean, Google. I just, I was just looking for the lyrics, you guys.

I was looking for, you can't make fun of me and come at me with iTunes. And then you guys missed what Cody did, which is hum a few tunes. No, a few bars. That's the expression, hum a few bars. Exactly. Bars of what?

Hassan Piker's here. People don't hum anymore. A lot has changed over the years, audience. As you've been so kind in pointing out, my shirt size has changed over the years. Look, I started this show as a 19-year-old boy, and now I'm a 38-year-old dad. But along the way, one staple of my life has been Miller Lite, and those of you that have been listening to us know this. I've been a Miller Lite guy since day one. I've been pretty honest about that. So let's get down to the nitty gritty. What is the best thing about the original Light Beer Miller Lite? It sparked this debate way back in 1975, and we still haven't settled

it. For me, it's the undebatable quality. It's great taste. And it's less filling. Whether you're out with your friends, at a game, at a bar, in the shower, Miller Lite delivers Miller Time every time. You don't have to choose what's best about Miller Lite. It has great taste and is less filling. Tastes like Miller Time. To get Miller Lite delivered right to your door, visit MillerLite.com slash Dan, or you can find it pretty much anywhere that sells beer.

Possibly, Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee hitting it, like you're not tailing it to a particular name. Correct. You know, all that jazz, you know, you don't gotta do that. You just do a generic call. Oh, that would be a great call. Up and away.

That kind of swing, that kind of thing. This is the Don LeBathard Show with the StuGats. He's one of the most influential political commentators out there. Really is hard to find anyone that breaks things down, complicated things down better. He streams every day, as I told you, for eight hours, and the news every day seems to provide for you even more than eight hours of information. There are a number of things I wanted to talk to you, but thank you for joining us, Hassan. I appreciate your patience there. Thank you for being on with us Um, thank you for having me. I hope you guys can hear me. Well, uh, I am currently at a basketball

I'm currently at a park This is uh, usually my basketball hour And it's the it's the one time of the day that I have a little bit of time to myself where I take my dog out and I actually play Uh, you know run some drills that I found on tik tok I have a little bit of time to myself where I take my dog out and I actually play, you know, run some drills that I found on TikTok so that I can stay competitive with these young guys out here.

It's a 33 year old man. So I apologize for the backdrop if it's a little weird and unorthodox. Hassan, did you ever get those shoes that were designed to help you jump higher? Ooh, the e-space shoes. Yeah, the ones that had like little platforms at the bottom.

You ever had those for your basketball training or no? No, I never did. But I was talking to a content creator. I was on the creator league that RDC put together, creator league at DreamCon in Austin a couple of weeks back. And I was talking to one of the basketball content creators out there by the name of YPK Ray.

And he was telling me about how he has like this insole now. The kids, they have this insult they put on their shoes that makes them, makes them jump. And no, I got my dusty Kyrie Irvings here. I got a bunch of them when, when he got, when, when they, when they canceled the shoes, I went and bought a bunch of them on clearance. Cause I, when I wear wear I'm a big boy so if a shoe works for me it's like you know I wore hyper dunks for like 10 years after they were discontinued and you know it happened to be that his shoes they fit really well for me so I went

and bought a bunch of them off clearance. Any parallels between you trying to keep up with the young man in a young man's game and you in the content game trying to keep up with everybody during a crazy political time? Uh, not necessarily. I'm, I'm, I'm a bit of a dynamo. I'm honestly pretty solid when it comes to my endurance and on the court as well for a 33 year old guy. I work out quite frequently, but as far as like the content sphere goes, I'm a one man operation. So no, I don't see Jake Taffer doing eight hour streams every day.

That's who I'm competing with. Or when it comes down to it, if I look at the content space, it's like I'm never going to be able to do the stuff that Kai Sinatra's doing. He's just an entirely different playing field. He's a very entertaining guy, I love him. He's great. But my lane is politics. I try to merge the two.

I try to merge the entertainment and the politics stuff together. And I hope I do a decent job at it. But overall, there aren't that many hours in the day for me to be able to do even more than I'm doing currently. We are getting you on here before you are starting your work day, so I don't know if anyone's heard what your thoughts are on Kamala Harris naming Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as

her VB candidate. What are your thoughts there? Oh, I love it. I'm very excited about Walz. Walz is a fighter. He's done a lot with a very slim majority in the state legislature in Minnesota. And I've been, you know, I've been writing for the Democratic Party in Minnesota for quite some time. So I'm actually very excited about Waltz. I definitely think he was a better choice than Shapiro. A lot of

people immediately think, oh, is it because of Israel or whatever? No, like Waltz. I definitely think he was a better choice than Shapiro. A lot of people immediately think, oh, is it because of Israel or whatever? No, like Waltz is also, you know, going to be pro-Israel. Most Democrats are, in general, that's American foreign policy. My frustration with Josh Shapiro was actually because he was pro-school vouchers. He worked with the Republicans because he was pro-school vouchers. He worked with the Republicans in the state when he became the governor to push for a school voucher program. And I think that that's very right-wing for me. I don't really like that.

I think that immediately it spells that you're anti-teachers union. And that's a pretty solid, pretty important constituency for the Democratic Party. Tim Walsh, on the other hand, is a teacher. So I'm very excited to hear how he will communicate a more progressive agenda for the Democratic Party. I think they actually have listened to the voters. They've been doing a lot of good things these past this past month, especially they've done. They've almost become this competent party that I never really experienced. I never

really thought they could be, you know, it's been shocking. And the Republicans are kind of flailing around because they also don't know how to to deal with a competent party. I think they've gotten too used to, you know, running, running against someone like Joe Biden, I think they got too used to running against unpopular candidates and unpopular policies in general. So we'll see what happens. Hassan, you mentioned popularity and I've noticed that recently, at least in terms of eyes and attention and maybe word on the street, you're

a bit of an outlier in that you're more progressive but you're sharing those progressive views on platforms like Twitch and other various accounts of social media. I've noticed there's a bit of a sea change from just four years ago in the last election cycle. It almost seems like there's a conservative concerted effort to appeal to IG lifestyle pages. And we saw Trump on a highly popular Twitch stream yesterday. What do you make of this very clear strategy from the GOP?

Yeah, I think they kind of lucked into that. I mean, obviously Donald Trump is always going to be doing stuff like that, regardless that's unique to Donald Trump. JD Vance tries to do it with the note boys, it's not going to be the same, obviously. But in terms of the Republican party kind of leaning into this lifestyle stuff, you're absolutely on the money on this.

I think the Manosphere grew quite a lot organically online, and this kind of pendulum swing occurs regardless. You know, you've got a Democratic president in charge. All of a sudden, people are going to go back to the regular old culture war issues. Some might call immediately as soon as Joe Biden became president. I was like, we're going back to the culture war issues. Something I called immediately, as soon as Joe Biden became president, I was like, we're going back to the culture war stuff. It's gonna turn into like Gamergate era politics. Everyone is gonna be talking about trans people, this trans people, that, you know,

things that actually don't, things that actually don't touch on the pocketbooks of any Americans. It's not exactly a kitchen table issue. We are very dominated by right-wing culture war narratives in this country. And I think it stems from the inability of the Democratic Party in actually addressing

some of the economic problems that American families are facing. And their lack of interest in actually doing something bold and brave in terms of like declaring a bold and brave progressive agenda, an economic agenda. Now, there are some good things that the Democratic Party did, even under Joe Biden, despite the fact that I'm very critical of Joe. And I think they should continue along with that so that we can move away from these,

like, I can't believe I'm going to use the term that the Democratic Party is now using, but weird, these weirdos who are constantly focusing on like really marginal, really silly, really inconsequential things making it like the primary concern of every single person. There's like this sweatiness to it, there's this nervousness to it, this anxiety to it. It's like frequently imagining that there's like probably a trans person behind every corner like it's like I don't get it man just like let people live. I care about expanding child tax credits. I care about eviscerating child poverty. I care about health care. I don't know like these things are gonna

help you too. Like I'm pretty sure most Americans would agree at the end of the day if the Democratic Party actually ran on that instead of constantly picking up a dare I say cowardly posture and and Trying to always run defense after the Republicans end up dominating the political conversation In every issue whether it be the crime hysteria whether it be the immigrant crime hysteria and the panic that they cultivated, instead of capitulating to the right-wing framing, if they actually ran on very progressive policies and said like, do you want health care or not? Like, what are we talking about here? I think more Americans will be on board.

It seems unusual, given the the depth of the things that plague America, that what is working now is the very accurate, you're weird, running on a platform of they're weird over there. Yeah, but it's true though, this is true. It's honestly, like, I think it's much better than just talking about how like scary they are, how authoritarian the Republicans are.

It's like, do they present a genuine threat to American democracy? Potentially. I think so. Definitely. But that actually gives the Republican Party like a sense of power, I think. And this actually deflects, this actually neutralizes that power and just says, no, dude, you're weird. Like you're, you're odd for hyper focusing on this sort of stuff. And I think that that is the, I mean, that's something I've been doing for years. I call it hog watch. I'm fascinated with Republicans in general. I love, I love my countrymen. I love watching them in the wild. You know, I love, I love watching the way they operate. I've been doing this for years and years and years and I've noticed it like

You know, they've gotten increasingly more nutty on the timeline, especially with like social media becoming more right-wing with like Elon Musk Purchasing Twitter. I heard you say you will never call X. I agree. I Will never call X either Elon Musk purchasing Twitter making it more right-wing like making it overtly more right wing and putting so much like violence on the timeline too, above all else. I think that this has created this false sense that Republican policies are actually more popular than they are. They're not. Like most people don't care. Most people have never met a trans person. They don't think about trans people all that much. They probably might think like, oh, it's a little weird.

Like, I don't really understand this trans stuff. I thought it was only two genders, whatever. I'm moving on. I care about being able to pay for my groceries, but there's a lot of people on the Republican party, especially in the commentary sphere that have just broken their minds on this issue where that's all they care about. They're like, I don't care about anything. I wanna make sure that we're melting

like this 0.1% of the population. Wait, I wanna do harm to the 0.1% of the population. It's like, dude, that's odd. Like, why do you care? You care more about trans stuff than trans people do. You know, I have trans friends. I have plenty of trans members in my community. They don't think about the latest and greatest in trans technology or trans culture in the same way that like a ben ship hero type does.

It's like it's so strange. Like let people live. It's an easy winning position for your base if you're always perpetually focused on demonizing others so that you could protect white power you so that so that anyone who's different from the norm can't get to a quality yeah no absolutely i think it is i think it is a very listen children yelling in the park

and i think it is a very uh... you're right i mean it's it's a old narrative is a cliche they do it all the time they used to do it for gay people in the 90s. And then, you know, that became legal and normal with gay marriage. Then they had to move on to something else. They had to move on to trans people. And now the narrative is exactly still the same. Like, for trans people, they say the exact same stuff that they used to say about gay people in the 90s. But ultimately, I think you have to set up a counter to that.

You know that this is going to be a talking point. And if you're the Democratic Party, you got to give the right something to sink their teeth into, right? You can't be constantly in a defensive posture against the right. You actually have to go forward with a bold agenda so they can call you a socialist. And then you have to talk about why that bold agenda is not necessarily bad. And it's actually good for Americans. Right? Like free lunch and free breakfast at schools. Tim Walz policy, right? He passed it. He passed it in Minnesota. It was phenomenally

popular. You think Republicans don't want their children to get free school lunch? Of course they do. Of course they like that. It's ridiculous. I mean, it's incredibly too, it's entirely too costly to take care of children in this country.

Many people can't even think about that idea because they just don't have enough money. We have two income households that still can't take care of children and have children. Child care is entirely too costly. One aspect of that is free school lunches. That's a good policy. Let the Republicans yell about how that's actually socialism

and how that's bad. If you put forward a bold progressive agenda, if you actually get some done on the progressive side, sorry for cursing, I don't know if I'm allowed to do that it's fine go ahead in front of the kids yeah yeah they can't hear me it's all good but if you yeah if you get if you get stuff done Republicans are going to inevitably try to position themselves against that stuff. And these things are very popular ideas that are helpful for all Americans, right? So that's part of the reason why I think it's, I mean, I fall to the Democratic Party a little

bit for where we've gotten to in terms of the discourse here, but it's not like Republicans just started yelling about trans people. It's not like Republicans just started saying that like immigrants are doing crime and they're rapists and they're drug dealers or whatever. They've been saying that because they know that they have to, they have to actively campaign every day for four years and not every four years. Whereas Democrats on the other hand only campaign every four years when they remember they have to run for office. And then they're like, whoa, whoa, this stuff, this immigration stuff, maybe it's gotten a little too out of hand.

Maybe the Republicans are right, which is the dumbest thing you can do. I've said this before. It's like you got abortion, you have democracy. Those are like two major things. Now with Kamala Harris, obviously being the candidate and not Joe Biden, you also have age, you have instability of all these stuff, all these things. You can also talk about how progressive Kamala Harris is in comparison to Donald Trump.

These are all in the pocket for you. This is your strong suit, right? Play to your strengths. Never talk about immigration. Never bring that up. Joe Biden should have never done the right wing immigration bill. They should have never capitulated to right wing framing on immigration. Democrats historically have always done things like this. They always tacked to the right, but they always end up losing. They always end up losing because that's their strong suit. That's what they're

good at. That's what the Republicans are good at. I don't know why you would like if you're LeBron, you don't have to play chess. That's what the Republicans are good at. I don't know why you would like if you're LeBron You don't have to play chess you could do the dunk competition against like a grandmaster You know what I mean? I don't understand why Democrats are like I'm LeBron one of the greatest athletes of all time and no I'm actually gonna play chess Instead of the dunk competition against the grandmaster like like the car or Magnus Carlson or whatever. It just doesn't make sense Can you explain this part to me though? Because Kamala touted that right wing immigration bill

in Atlanta last week too. Like why is it that that seems to be the point that both parties can agree on? I mean, the stuff with the deportation, it's a bit crazy. A bit crazy, I mean, it's very crazy. And Donald Trump is talking about Eisenhower. He's talking about a word I can't say because it's a slur in the aftermath of the Cere program

where we deported 1.3 million Mexicans from this country, including Mexican Americans as a matter of fact. Not just people from, you know, not people whose nation of origin is Mexico. We did that. We did that during World War One. We did that in the aftermath of World War Two. And Donald Trump's touting that as a popular policy. And it's got like 60 percent approval right now. And a big part of the reason is because there's no counter messaging

against that from the Democratic front. They have completely been captured by the right wing framing on the matter. And obviously, it's very racist, very fascist. They have completely been captured by the right-wing framing on the matter. And obviously it's very racist, very fascist. I mean, it's just like straight Nazi Germany stuff. No one is thinking about like what 20 million, let's say there's 20 million migrants in this country that are undocumented. How do you, how exactly are you going to do the mass deportation?

You're going to go start going into brown neighborhoods with BORTC, with the American Gestapo, Special Weapons and Tactics for the Customs and Border Patrol, in what the ACLU calls Constitution Free Zones, and you're going to start doing door knocking operations and cast a dragnet over brown communities and then put them in CICOT style like in El Salvador, like mass detention centers, mass deportation facilities. You're gonna put them in front of one judge 200 at a time because there's 20 million people. That's a lot of people, right? You have to make this process as expedient as possible.

So now you're putting 200 people at a time in front of a judge that is declaring them to be illegal. Then you have to put them in concentration camps. I mean that's just straight Nazi Germany stuff and I don't think anybody is talking about it on those terms which I find to be abhorrent. I find it to be morally repugnant. But to have agreement with like the neither one of the parties is being reasonable here. It's just everyone's getting dragged over to a place that like, I mean, what is that? How is it that we've arrived there? Like that, that is not anyone's idea of America in principle.

I know. And Americans are actually not of one mind on this. Immigration historically is one issue where Americans are like consistently both very sympathetic to migrants on and also very hit larry and in the same breath like these are if you look at focus groups on immigration you'll be shocked like a person will unironically say i want mass deportations of all migrants living on u.s soil and in the next question in the next breath we'll say something along the lines of yeah we should do amnesty actually for everyone that's been here.

And it's like, how can you have these two opinions? That's because the democratic party is too scared. They refuse to actually have any sort of counter messaging on this front. And, and they just capitulate the right wing framing every single time. They did this with the crime panic too. It's completely born out of hysteria. It's straight hit larian on the Republican side. And what's happening in America right now is not dissimilar to the rise of Hitler in Nazi Germany in the sense that liberals also capitulated to in an effort not to adequately put up a strong

fight and align with the communists and align with the trade unionists, align with the socialists against the rise of Nazis and the rise of fascism. In Germany, they, you know, they said, no, this guy is working within the confines of German politics. It's fine. And we all know what happened afterwards. It's called the ratchet effect. The Democrats regularly play the role of almost controlled opposition on a lot of issues. This one being one of them. It's the same with the bipartisan consensus on American foreign policy. This is basically, which I would consider to be fascist in general, but no one really

cares about that. And this is fascism inward, like bringing fascism back domestically, having concentration camps for people that don't look like you, that people whose immigration status could be quickly and expediently dealt with and turned into documented U.S. citizens who are already participating in the American economy in incredibly meaningful ways, people who statistically are less likely to do crimes than natural born U.S. citizens. A fact that Democrats should be saying every single day of the week, they should be put in that front of center.

It's just completely made up. This hysteria about migrant crime is completely made up. Crime is down. Crime is down in America across the board. Crime is down. It readjusted back to the lowest levels that it was at pre-pandemic, and it's only going down further and further. So the idea that we have tens, you know, tens of millions of

migrants crossing the border, and they're doing crimes is so silly. It's like, okay, migrant, migrant detentions are up. Crime is down. So what's going on? Is it that they're just like doing less crime? Is that what it is? Well, turns out that is actually the case. All available empirical data on the matter shows undocumented immigrants are responsible for less crime per capita than natural born US citizens are.

I'll give you another fact. If you were to listen to the Republicans, the Republicans constantly talk about, sorry, my dog is actually sitting. Hey, Taya, sit, baby, sit. That's a good dog. We haven't heard that dog once. What kind of dog are we talking about here?

That's a good dog. Good dog. I'll show you. You're holding the camera the whole time? I'll I'll show you. Yeah, I'll show you her in a second. So the one thing that what was I talking about? You were saying you were going to give us one good fact. You have one good fact that we mentioned Hitler a lot too. Oh, I did mention Hitler a lot because that's unfortunately that's where we're going right now. And we're bouldering towards that. So, like I said, Democrats should constantly be talking about the fact that there is no readily available empirical data to suggest that immigrants are doing more crime.

As a matter of fact, the only available empirical data shows the exact opposite of that reality. So it's secure Republican hysteria, Republican panic, and it's really racist panic. One other thing I will tell you is this. Donald Trump talks about immigrants are responsible for a hundred thousand hundreds of thousands of deaths every year. That's what he says. He says that at his rallies. He says that as the RNC. I've never heard from a Democrat be like yo hold on what are we talking about here? That seems like a big old deal. I've never heard a Democrat go that seems insane to say let's take a look at the

data. Well I did look at the data. Customs and Border Patrol data shows. Do you want to know how many murders undocumented migrants committed this past fiscal year? Yes, I would, because I did see what John Oliver did on what you're saying there, that migrant crime is a total fiction. There is nothing to support it. It's just a made-up phrase. Yeah, it's completely made up. You want to know? I'll tell you what it is. I looked at Crime is a total fiction. There is nothing to support it. It's just a made-up phrase Yeah, it's completely made up. You want to know I'll tell you what it is. I looked at the data 23 so that means and we've definitely heard 23 Horrific gruesome things that an undocumented citizen has done in this country

So that means that every single instance of a murder Committed by an undocumented migrant was heavily publicized in this country in an effort to make you think like they're doing crimes every day. This doesn't mean that like undocumented migrants are responsible for zero crimes. Of course not. Everyone, they're human beings. Some human beings are gonna do good things. Some human beings are gonna do bad things. We're all a victim of our own circumstances. But you have to look at like if this is how to deal with crime You have to look at the entire group of people and see if they're responsible for an overwhelming

Share of the crime and it turns out they're responsible for less less crime. It's actually Insane that we have this conversation Donald Trump tries to link the undocumented Like the undocumented murder rate. He tries to claim that it's 100,000 because he tries to claim that it's fentanyl. It's actually the fentanyl that they're bringing over the border. Another total fabrication, completely made up. 90% of drugs that are coming across the border are apprehended. This is the Department of Homeland Security's own data. This is not woke Marxist Hassan making thisended. This is the Department of Homeland Security's own data. This is not, you know, woke Marxist Hassan making this up. This is the Department of Homeland Security. Okay, so according to the DHS data, and this was the same under Donald Trump,

it's the same under Joe Biden, it'll be the same under Kamala Harris or whoever becomes president. The Department of Homeland Security's own data shows 90% of the drugs apprehended at the border are not actually border are not actually like border crossers, right? It's not a law abiding abuela from Guatemala who walked all the way to America or tried to cross the Rio Grande River like carrying bags of fentanyl over the border. That would be insane. That's an unsustainable business.

That's an unsustainable operation. You know who's actually trafficking the drugs? White American citizens that are crossing over the border after getting their cars chopped up by the cartel. Of course, 90% of the drugs are apprehended at regular points of entry, according to the Department of Homeland Security's data, and more than 90% of those apprehended are American citizens because they're the ones who are less likely to get stopped. Like we're the Millers. That's it.

This guy is full of ****. He doesn't know at all all of the fentanyl carrying abuelas we have in Miami. And you were, you look like my grandma. You look like Miami. You were briefly. I lived there. You were briefly in Miami. I think he's there now.

I've been to that park. I know that park. That looks a little like South Beach, but it is not that park. I think it's Coral Springs. It's not the park in South Beach We've got a couple of questions on the way out. We've got a couple of questions We need to see the dog and we need to know what kind of basketball drills you were doing. Yeah Um, I follow a bunch of tiktokers. This is my dog

First of all, she is this is Kaia. That's a good girl. She's it. She's a very good girl. She's the best girl She's a little baby still she is only around 18 months and So but she's very well-trained. She's a big dog. She's a she's a mutt. She's a mix between chow chow, Tibetan Mastiff and a San Bernard That's number one Number two, what kind of drills do I do? Honestly, it's been a while.

I haven't played organized basketball at all in many, many years since high school, as a matter of fact. That's multiple decades at this point, almost. So I just look at TikTok, whatever pops up on my TikTok feed, I see like, you know, there's those guys good drills. I post good drills. I forget what that dude's name is, but you know, they'll always have some drills on there.
