This is a true story.
It happened right here in my town.
One night, 17 kids woke up, got out of bed, walked into the dark, and they never came back.
I'm the director of Barbarian.
A lot of people died in a lot of weird ways.
You're not gonna find it in the news because the police covered everything all up.
On August 8th.
This is where the story really starts.
Weapons.
This is the Dan LeBattor Show with the StuGuts Podcast.
All right, because I'm a radio professional,
I pay off my teases.
See how that works?
In the last hour, talked about LeBron,
perhaps to win somebody, here it is.
So LeBron James' attorneys apparently sent a cease and
desist letter to the developers of a popular AI service that
created videos and images of famous NBA stars in bizarre
situations, including one of James lying on a couch
clutching a pregnant belly.
This is from futurism.com.
How'd they know it was fake?
Exactly.
Jason Stax, he's the owner of AI platform FlickUp,
confirmed that he'd received a letter from James' lawyers.
Uh, as he said in an Instagram Reels video, quote,
I'm so f***ed.
This is a letter from one of the biggest NBA players of all time.
Two months ago, I launched a YouTube of AI video.
It was a fun idea to help creators make some more money,
but then people started noticing, like, this guy.
Yeah, the LeBron James,
and he wasn't happy,
because I got the cease and desist from his team.
Yo, it's 11.06 a.m. right now.
This is Deion Sanders' press conference
is what I should be watching right now.
If everyone was on the Lord's time zone.
Unfortunately, you got another couple hours to wait.
So the pregnant thing is what took it over the edge?
Like do you think if he doesn't get,
do AI pregnant LeBron, that LeBron's like,
let's see where this is gonna go?
Well I guess the overall theme is that a deep fake
can be made of other, more compromising,
more realistic situations.
LeBron committing a crime, LeBron committing adultery,
LeBron using PEDs, like all the kind of, the really awful things.
And so if we don't draw the line at him being pregnant,
how do we draw the line, how do we get the horse
back in the stable later?
Shout out to Jokic.
That's a great question.
I just, I'm wondering how much the pregnancy one
really was, the tipping point.
Like what the one that really made him think about,
oh wow, they could do anything now.
I'm just waiting with bated breath right now
for the lower third on first take to say le tigis.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
They're so good, man.
How do they constantly hit out the park?
How have they done Michael Parsons and Dak again?
I mean, Jerry called him Michael Parsons.
Some people call him Michael.
I think we have that audio. Some people call him Michael Parsons? Have that audio
Some people call Michael. I
Have a question Billy. I was I saw a post in it speaking of AI
I didn't know if it was real or fake, but it was messy and his wife, but it was real
They were at the Coldplay concert
And yes, I'm just trying to figure out like how many people did the the fake?
Oh, no
I'm with my mistress thing when they got on camera.
And also, did you see any of these people?
If you were anywhere near Lionel Messi,
would you try to say hello to him?
Or were you way too far away?
No, me and Messi were not in the same area.
No?
No, we weren't.
But I probably wouldn't have said hello to him anyways.
And I also assume he'd have a whole team of people around
and just swooping him in and out.
Also, no one did the fake affair thing.
Yeah, I went to the Coldplay concert yesterday.
That's why I did the act.
Yesterday, what time did the show start?
So late, so late.
Like 10 o'clock?
They didn't start until almost 10.
What time did the ticket say it?
It said show starts at 6.45.
Oh my god.
Were there opening acts?
Who were the opening acts?
They better have been fantastic. There were three opening acts. Oh my god were the opening acts they better have been fantastic there were three opening
Three opening and like gates or I think parking it opened at like four and gates open at five
So I was telling my wife like we should probably this will probably be a zoo
We should probably try to get there a little bit early because it'll be a mess
And and like nothing like we left later than I wanted to
which now I'm glad that we did
because we bought prepaid parking
and we just pulled right into the parking lot.
When we left we pulled right out,
we were home in like 25 minutes.
Like parking, I don't know how they figured it out
but like yesterday at least for me personally,
parking was great yesterday.
It's a bit of a crap shoot where you end up.
Like there are some ways to get out of that stadium quick
and sometimes you're there for an hour.
Yeah, the park has improved in terms of how quick
it is to get in and out of there.
Three?
That's just so rude.
Concert ending at midnight on a Sunday is called.
It was hot, yeah, that's the thing,
is that they went on for like two hours.
Once they started, it was great.
It ended right before, right after midnight.
It was right around 12 and it was hot.
It was a hot day.
Don't you have to, like, I know you're just an opening act,
so obviously you're not supposed to be as big as the main act,
but you're still in a stadium.
Like, don't you have to carry a stadium,
and for three opening acts, I can't imagine they are.
Nah, nah.
I'll bet there are acts that you've never even heard of
that were doing it.
That is the case.
That was the case for me.
I looked them up, they have like millions of followers,
just I don't know who they have like millions of followers,
just I don't know who they are.
They weren't bad.
Latinx?
No, they were like international acts.
Oh wow.
Three opening acts sucks.
That's terrible.
It should be one, now get the main event on.
Well when the last one came out,
so I'm assuming that they did it like in ascending order
from like, you know, least to most popular.
So like once we get to to the main opening act,
at that point is when I'm most irritated,
most like, let's get this concert started already.
I'm glad that you're here, I'm glad that Coldplay says
you're gonna be the biggest pop star in the world one day.
Not today though.
Let's get this started already.
I went to Dare, it's like a day club or beach club
at the Hard Rock.
To kick kids off drugs.
I thought it was a drugs program.
Yeah.
Oh, for like legacy listeners of the show,
I had a mixologist at a restaurant that I was at
and it was the Dare T-shirt guy.
Ooh.
What does that mean?
The Dare T-shirt guy, Roy, you know him.
He broke the Shaq trade on our show live.
It was a guy.
And now he's a mixologist?
We laughed at him.
He was on the air.
He called us. He's like, hey.
He sent an email.
He's like, I'm the guy that went to your event in a Dare t-shirt.
And he called us.
He's like, hey, I know that Shaq is being traded to the Phoenix Suns.
And he broke the news on our show.
I remember that.
Met with skepticism.
I was at a dinner last week, and he came up to me.
He's like, I'm the Dare t-shirt guy.
I'm like, no. And he was a mixologist now?
No, he's a mixologist.
Wow, does Taffer use him as an expert?
Does he have a great cocktail program?
He does have a great cocktail.
That place does have one of the better espresso.
Taffer invented Sunday Ticket.
He did.
And some other thing where you rub butts with each other.
The butt funnel.
He talks about it every time.
The butt funnel, come on, man.
Every time.
10 o'clock is so rude to do that to your crowd.
Sucks.
Remember when I went to see The Satanist over here? No opening act. Show started at eight o'clock. I rude to do that to your crowd. Sucks. Remember when I went to see the Satanists over here?
No opening act.
The show started at eight o'clock.
I was out of there by 940.
Oh, it's beautiful.
Beautiful.
Trying to see how far we can get away from Dare
before I go back to my story.
You see Pauly D?
I did.
I did see Pauly D, which is why I was laughing
about your story about opening acts,
because with DJs it's weird,
because you kind of don't really know
when the hell they're coming out. It's like the lead up DJ is just playing, it's weird, because you kind of don't really know when the hell they're coming out.
It's like the lead up DJ is just playing, playing, playing, whatever's on the screen,
unless you're looking directly at them closely.
Like on the screen, they're playing some stuff and you're just like...
Images, right?
There was a good half an hour, I was like, is Polly D up?
No, not him yet.
Is Polly D up?
Nope, not him yet.
And the crazy part about this, this was in the daytime, it was hot as shit. This opening act was going on for so long.
By the time Pauly D was at the heart of his act,
place was half empty.
People were leaving.
There was a party that got thrown out
because a couple of the girls had thrown up.
This was all right in the heart of his act.
It was very sad.
Started earlier.
How does that place work?
So like you went to that and there's like a pool there.
Can you just go in the pool if you want to there's a solution to the heat
Well, there is there is although if somebody vomits in the pool, then I think it's ruined for
They vomit in the pool. Nope. It was in by their cabana. Fortunately. Oh good thing
You mentioned vomiting in the pool. I went what happened to them was like food poisoning
No, just too much drinking. Oh, she probably she looked pretty young. So
Who is Polly D come Yeah, it's a great question
I had to ask that before come on the guy that was in that show with the Jim Jersey Shore Polly D from the Jersey
Show with the hair come on. I don't know that fool. Nah, man, you being disrespectful now
Major Roy move by you right now. I actually know the guy GTL Jim Tan laundry man. Come on
I don't know that fool. You don't know who that is
Sure time it's t-shirt time

Which one's Nicky the shortest one?
The meatball yeah the one meatball, but I don't know any of these little fools Wow
You know J Wow J Wow come on man. I always thought I could be her name. I could be friends with Vinnie
I always thought Vinnie that's how they've been he's a coolest one man
He's like the most normal one everyone else is kind of like a cartoon character and your defense as I've never seen an episode of the
Show, but I knew the people. Nah.
Nah, come on, man.
I just, I don't understand.
All of a sudden, one of the biggest shows,
biggest pop culture things of our time,
no one is familiar with it.
Now there's a contest of who watched less,
who knows less about it.
It's so weird.
Billy, I wanted to ask you something
that you brought up earlier,
which is people here at this office,
we have like a little rivalry going on.
Yeah, people here are jealous of everything and everyone.
Most notably Pablo, because he's been on a hot streak.
Really?
Yeah, people here do not like Pablo.
I heard the kind of the snide remarks
when I was doing my own investigation news breaking,
and I was like, what's happening here?
And apparently it goes deeper than just me trying
to get out of my lane and be a journalist for change.
It centers around the hatred, the deep hatred for Pablo and everything they do up there.
Everything. On air, off air, just general disdain for Pablo and the New York office it seems.
What's the off air stuff?
The latest is that Pablo's
show apparently is a softball team and
everyone here was very jealous of the fact
that they go out and play softball together during the week.
And then everyone here was talking about
how they'd be better at softball
and how this would be a better softball team.
Well you say.
Efforts have already begun.
We're starting a softball team.
See, I mean.
Who's in?
I need people.
I'm in, I got you.
Hold on, who's?
All right, we got Zazz, weazz we got Roy says play with Mike Lowell
Yep, he was my double play teammate. He played with Zazz at the media game. I remember. Yep. I hit a homerun
Did you remember that part sure did got on video or don't doubt me?
Send the video ball, huh? Send the video. Okay. No do it now
What do you got go go get it? All right
We're in the middle of a show here. What do you got to go get it?
All right, all right.
For an ensemble.
Search for it.
Send it.
You're going to say you did this thing.
On an old phone.
But where is he going to get that?
Where is he going to find that?
He said I got the video.
I think I have it saved.
OK.
I ain't a home run.
I got to save it?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I guess it's the only time you've done anything
notable.

Don Lebatard. Sugar daddies. These things, I'm telling you. I love sugar daddies. I like
stuck in your teeth. You can't chew them. They're like impossible to chew. They are impossible to chew. That is every day.
Stugats.
Oh yeah, brother.
This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.
So anyways, everyone here thinks that they want to be on a softball.
The funny thing is, is no one here has ever talked to each other and said,
you know what, we should play softball together.
Right.
Until they saw Pablo has a team where they play softball together.
We need a softball.
We should play together on a team.
It's been mentioned before.
Lewis has talked about it for a while.
And then do we play against them?
No.
I mean, if we have to fly to go up there, they'd have to fly come down here.
If we make a team, that game will happen.
You have to.
You have to. You have to. You can't make a team in have to fly come down here. If we make a team, that game will happen. You have to, you have to, you have to.
So who are we playing?
You can't make a team in response to them having a team
and then never have the two teams meet.
I heard they got some ringers though.
Do they?
Yeah. What does that mean?
Like people that aren't affiliated with the show.
Like who?
It's just like people they bring in,
it's like CCC's have had their guest once.
College softball,
Jenny Finch. Just playing shortstop.
They have a short, their shortstop is a former
college softball player. Jessica Mendoza. I don't know who it is.
She was on my team too. Ramona Shelburne. I don't think it's Ramona.
Ramona played college. I don't think this one specifically is Ramona.
I mean, I would say this, like if we're a show and by we,
I mean them, if they're a show about integrity and journalism,
you can't have ringers on your team like where well
If you're called the Pablo Torrey finds out softball team
Tell the truth. I mean they have Taylor and Mallie who work in New York, but not for that show
Wait Taylor is on their Taylor and Mallie are on team. That's more sure just got there. They're ours
Well, they're ours. Well, they're there. So by the the way Andrew Hawkins is ours there you go we got ringers too okay
I haven't found the video yet but here on the big Jumbotron I'm in my home run
trot no that's just you running oh I understand that's what it looks like but
this is around the basis yeah this is my home run trot it's just him running yeah
that's true I'm running to you might be running home Home run trot from the dugout. I don't know where you're running from I understand your skepticism. I'm still looking for the video
We got video here. This is this is Pablo's softball team right here
No, they love only we have video of them playing definitely looks like New York. Yeah, that actually looks nice
Yeah, who is that a first? Oh man? This is
Who's that rounding?
Yeah, showing up those strides now. I don't want to I don't want to be a softball team
But I will do kickball can we do kickball kickball to me is just fast. They're apparently playing a team from Forbes
No, it's a pretty just league
We would rock them not now on back Billy now Billy now. I'm back ponytail on Pablo's team
Who's that po whose ponytail over there Pablo? No, that's not you never seen the back of Pablo's head
It's like a John Clayton thing. I'm dead serious you guys you don't know about Pablo's ponytail
No, I'm telling you like where he goes to the barber and
Like the whole thing is made. There's Taylor Taylor try out what a try-hard
Oh, I'm definitely beating Taylor in a race
I was a little confused
I was wondering a few weeks ago if there's anybody in the office that I would lose a race to and then I looked at
And I was like maybe I didn't include and I was kind of quick. I was slow to you
He looked I just didn't like the form. Yeah, it was like a little steps
Yeah, I would just beat him based on form the first few first ten yards or so
Now this is Malley hitting who nobody really knows in the audience
Took a picture of a picture. We left that
Must know ball
Grounded he seems like a grounder to short kind of guy. Yep, they sit up the middle
Hey, look, he runs like that. Yeah, we would beat them
But we need a team first.
We don't have a team.
So right now, we're not beating anybody.
You know what?
I want to be the guy.
I want to be Mr. Burns, basically.
You want to be the manager?
Yeah, I want to be Mr. Burns.
I mean, that's kind of.
And this is what I'm going to do.
I'm going to go.
The first thing I'm going to do is tell Dan, he's gone.
Let me be in control.
Number two, we're going to make some new hires around here.
We got Fernando Tatis Jr.
We got Aaron Judge.
They're all working.
Yo, and then you got, oh my God,
then you got like Mike Trout,
he's actually in the video,
and then there's the control room.
He's like, he doesn't wanna do baseball,
he just wants to do video.
Shadowing Danny B.
You know who's not charged in charge of personnel?
Samson.
Jesus Christ.
That's the last place I want him in charge of.
The company softball team, the literal last place.
Exactly.
Get out of here.
Unbelievable.
Cody's our cleanup hitter though, right?
I'm not really a cleanup guy.
I'm definitely one of our better players,
but I'm, I don't know.
I have to see who I have before I.
Do we have a pitcher?
Jeremy is in the running to be that.
Oh, that's right.
Did you guys see he posted his stats?
Okay, dude, you put it on the poll.
Is it sad when you post your high school stats as an adult?
I mean, I was just like, I got what he was trying to say,
but I'm like, but these are your high school stats.
If that's the peak of it, it's not a good look.
If you went on to do other things,
then it's kind of cute just to like,
oh, this is what I also did.
But if that's the peak of it,
and you're in your 30s and you're posting, it's sad.
Which is worse, Jeremy's musings
about his high school career or Tony
talking about playing against him hard or a junior.
There's an arrogance that Tony carries
that I don't know if it helps him or hurts him here.
There's a lot of people in their time,
because I know two of them,
and I don't know anybody else
that went to that high school or anything,
but Anthony, my Anthony, and this Anthony
have both apparently played back in the day
against him, Hardaway Jr.,
and felt really good about themselves as a result,
because apparently Timmy sucked back in the day. That's all I'm saying. Anthony's 5'5",
and he apparently held his own against him.
My brother-in-law dominated Tim Hardaway Jr. at the Boys and Girls Club.
This guy has been alive.
He made him cry.
Yo!
He made him cry.
Frank Hay told him he's not good enough to play in the ACC.
Really?
Yeah.
That's why he ended up in Michigan?
Yep.
Yeah.
He has done so much for the confidence of a bunch of South Floridians just by being bad
when he was in high school.
I think he got the last laugh.
Yeah, for sure.
Nice little career.
Still in the lead.
Tony's still working.
Tony will find an angle somehow.
Not so fast, my friend.
But the idea of your high school,
I don't even remember, maybe it's because I'm old now to think about it, I barely your high school,
I mean I don't even remember,
maybe it's because I'm old now to think about it.
I barely remember high school.
I don't remember people's names anymore,
people I went to school with.
It used to be you remember first and last names
and you remember exactly everything about them
and now you can't remember anything.
Actually 2025 would be my 30 year anniversary.
Song lyrics are starting to go for me.
Song lyrics are done dude, cooked.
At first it was I can't learn lyrics to new songs,
then it became I can't remember the lyrics
to songs I've known all my life.
That's my favorite thing is like putting on
an old like hip hop song that I'd learned the lyrics to
a long time ago and I was like,
ooh do I still have this one, do I still have this one?
And it takes like maybe two or three repetitions
and I got it.
I gotta tell ya, I'm very relieved. It's not the only, I'm not the only one.
Forgetting the lyrics?
That you guys are also forgetting the lyrics.
Oh man, I'm, 85% of my brain is song lyrics,
so eventually some are gonna exit at some point,
but it's one of my, like I said,
it's my favorite things to do,
is just memorize song lyrics
and then just go full bore in the car all by yourself.
And I have no tinted windows, so I don't care if people see. Top five favorite things? Honestly, my family was out of town this year, is just memorize song lyrics and then just go full bore in the car all by yourself.
And I have no tinted windows, so I don't care
what people say.
Top five favorite things?
Honestly, my family was out of town this weekend.
I took the opportunity to put on a show in my shower.
I was hitting the high notes.
You feel like that's an open house activity?
Apple Music has a setting where you can read the lyrics
and you essentially have the karaoke mode.
I love that.
I was in there.
Are we talking like Bluetooth speaker in the bathroom?
No, no, no, no.
Like I have a little cubby that makes a sound,
you know, like the red silver trick.
So like it's a little cubby inside the shower
that makes the sound booming.
So I'm in there.
I got a JDL flip in my bathroom.
But if nobody's home and you're doing it by yourself,
yiggy-dee, then you do want the Bluetooth speaker
because you want the shower sound to be just you.
You want to assess your voice as much as possible. You start the song like because you want the shower sound to be just you. You want to assess your voice as much as possible.
You start the song in front of the mirror,
out of the shower, and then you make your way into the shower.
I have a Sono system, and there's a weird latency.
I'm not crazy about the app.
And plus, if I'm going karaoke mode
and I want to see the lyrics, I'm like, no,
I wasn't happy with my performance there.
And I want to redo that.
Because like I said, this is how I know Iris is a very
difficult song to perform naked
Why is it why is it a free house activity for you to do this?
Because I don't want to be embarrassed if I can't if I'm a little pitchy throughout the house because I I
Why would it mean I go for it?
You and your wife are at dinner and she's like Mike, I don't know I heard you in the shower
No, I don't want I don't want the shame. I want to be liberated. I want to be liberated't know, I heard you in the shower. A little pitchy. No, I don't want the shame. I wanna be liberated.
I wanna be liberated when I'm singing
Goo Goo Dolls in the shower.
And like, when the dude from Vertical Horizon
changes the lyrics and then he's the guy.
I wanna like, I want the room to feel that.
Izzy had it like the Seinfeld scene
where your wife breaks up with you,
it was like, that all changed yesterday afternoon.
What happened yesterday afternoon?
I heard you in the shower.
I can't be with anyone who I don't respect.
You're a cashier!
You're a cashier!
When everything's made to be broken.
I can't get it there.
Like, I don't, I can't.
When everything's made to be broken.
But I have to lower it.
But it's also gruffer.
He's got a voice, like he's got a Brian Adams.
But try doing that while going high.
Going high.
Springsteen.
Everything.
Everything.
Are you the type, cause I am,
that even doesn't really go for it all the time
when you're by yourself,
cause you're a little embarrassed for yourself
if you can't hit it.
I apologize to the fake crowd that was there.
I said I'm sorry.
I really wish I could perform for you
to the level that you're used to.
I'm gonna need you to help me out here.
When he nails it, he gives like a Jeremy fist bump.
And when you can't do it,
you just gotta do the Timberlake
and hold the mic out to the crowd.
Yeah, I like that.
Sing it!
When I'm doing the karaoke thing,
sometimes I'll pull the fake mic away from my mouth
when I hit the really high lyrics,
so like, you can't really make it out and the crowd is helping me. There's also decided. I'm going background singers next time
for actual karaoke
For just so I can know that if I have the pitchy parts I the background singers, you know fill in the
Zazz you've given up on your quest can't find it
I know I have it and I can't find it it Can what you guys were there the three of you can one of you back me up here in a home?
I'm gonna be honest. I don't remember a homerun from I remember you playing like second base a little bit
No, I played centerfield. Okay. Yeah, but there you go
I feel I would have heard about this feel like you wouldn't shut up about another type to brag
I remember a base screen to me about Craig Council earlier, so I forgot there you go
I mean the Craig Council thing what was he what was he supposed to do with that?
Why would I care?
It's a major talking point.
Just so we're clear, you're not playing center field for us.
Where would I play?
I don't know.
Maybe second base.
I don't know.
Okay.
I play second and third base.
No, that's Lewis.
Lewis is second.
Pinch hitter.
First base.
You got the-
Positions have not been decided yet.
I need to see my full roster and then I'll start.
He's got the build up.
Are you in charge?
I am. Hold on now. Hold on now, I'm Mr. Burns.
Mattingly, get rid of Sidemen.
I have baseball coaching, bona fides.
I have management bona fides.
Now that makes me Smithers.
You are an Olympic gold medalist.
I am an Olympic gold medalist.
You know what I said, erroneously,
before the only thing I had to show for was a t-shirt?
That's a lie.
I also, I found this in my closet.
I have a duffel bag, a Team USA basketball duffel bag.
Like for a Nike one.
Is that where the gold medal was?
Yeah, that's where they were hiding it.
And I was like, man, I was there, man.
Not there in China, but I was there like,
Oh, you weren't even in China?
No, man.
Oh, man, I was in China.
No, man, advanced scouting. You don't go with the team was there like, in the moment. Oh, you weren't even in China? No, man, come on. Oh man, I was in China.
No man, advanced scouting.
You don't go with the team to advanced scout,
you advanced scout.
Yeah, I mean you advanced scout during like,
the knockout rounds for teams that they might play, right?
Yeah, yeah, beforehand.
So you should do that in person.
No, that wasn't in China though.
And that also wasn't in person.
Fix You by Coldplay, also tricky song,
in terms of pitch.
How's that one go?
You know what, I don't know why Chris Martin has settled on this octave
for himself because he himself struggles
to hit these notes at the concerts.
Maybe it's a little bit better now with live tuning,
but why would you choose to sing in that key
if you yourself struggled to hit it?
It's like, could Jesus heat up a hot pocket so hot
that even he couldn't eat it?
That's an incredible question. I know.
It's one of the great philosophical questions of my life. I imagine. Right? Could he? So he heats
up a hot pocket so hot that he couldn't eat it? But then he'll cool it down though. Do you think
you like the miracle walker? Do you think you do the reverse blow? I imagine if he does the reverse
blow it's just like ice for him, right? So it's just really automatically cool. Don Lebatard. You were that kind of sad this morning taking the barrage of anger from Stugatz
because you hadn't booked him enough interviews. The only reason I keep bringing this up is because
you are throwing a big party on Thursday. You're doing it and I want people to support what you're
doing because Stugatz has not made this easy. Stugatz.
Well, you know, I, I well yeah, you know

Vance Joy.
He, Riptide is on my CVS.
Do I know that guy?
Yeah, I've been to a CVS.
Nice, good pull Chris.
He came out at the same time as George Ezra
and Budapest, which is also a CVS.
Oh, I've actually performed that Budapest.
In your shower?
No, at a karaoke with Joy Taylor,
when she was in the house.
Someone throw some respect on my name now.
Wow, that's not, that's not Zazzle.
All right, here we go.
That's not Zazzle.
The wind up.

Down the left field line.

Well, I mean like why wouldn't I take my time? You know Navarro just walking
Nate I went right into my trot. I't even watch it land I knew where I was going
Oh, you're asking your teammates to give you some love
Yeah, flip that back in the orange hat era of Marlins baseball. Yeah, that's low 790 is killing me
We got a silver have that Jersey still yeah, I've never worn it again. You put my name on a Jersey

You guys went Wade 3, right?
I said Hero 14. That was like right when he was.
Oh, how do you want your name on the back?
I want it H-A-S-L-E-M 40.
That's how I want it.
All right, with that, that's it for me.
You got a whole lot of you.

Not getting better than that.
Cause the video exists.

Good night, everybody!
See you, Robert Ryan.
See you tomorrow!
Why do you have two coffee cups?
Try and shave before you come back.
What is happening?
An incredible effort by Robert Plant from today.
Like, 2025 Robert Plant.
I didn't know that was an option.
I didn't know you could do that.
Whenever the hell I want to.
We'll just provide video of a home run I guess.
No.
For Izzy it's gotta be like a touchdown
right from your flag football.
Do you have video of that?
I'm sure you do.
I actually don't.
People that do a very poor job of taking videos
when I'm scoring.
Everybody else gets videos.
I don't get any damn videos.
Izzy Gutierrez's flag football phenomenon has been...
It is weird, I'm 48.
But it's like, seven years, eight years?
How long have you been playing?
Yeah, like 11.
Like at this level, not just flag football with the boys,
but like since about 34 years old.
So actually it's been more than that,
it's been like 14 years.
Izzy, can I ask you something?
Please.
It hasn't been sitting well with Chris or I
since we heard it last week.
Chris or me.
Cause the way you figured it out is it,
was it sitting well with me or with I?
Oh, that's actually very helpful.
I thought you nailed it.
Go f*** yourselves, I'm not contributing anymore.
Okay, I don't need that from you.
You wanna shut the f*** up and let me do this thing now?
I'm helping you out.
Chris and I heard that.
I could be an asshole to you constantly and correct you on things that you don't say correctly.
Would you like that?
Please, actually.
Alright. Why did AJ Burnett call you ugly? Or maybe he was just looking at your insides.
Oh, man.
I love this version of Mike.
I don't remember, it was just some level of banter
we were having.
I remember it being sort of late in the season,
so it was like he'd obviously been kind of comfortable
with me around.
And I think, I don't know, he just made a joke
and he was like, just called me ugly.
He's like, I wouldn't either if I was,
looked like you or something like that.
Do you react in laughter?
Like just like, laughed?
I mean, I was 23 years old.
I probably was out of my reach in there.
And so yeah, I just laughed along.
Just like when Antonio Alfonsoca told me
to take off my earring because you're not like this.
And I was like, well, Jesus, man.
Like, if this isn't like a template
for exactly what you thought a damn locker room would be
for a closeted dude, it's just like, Jesus, bro.
Yeah, you got it.
And he did that hand gesture with six fingers.
Yeah. That was wild. Hold on man. You got like the
quintessence. This is like something from a lifetime movie
like. My fellow Dominican Antonio Afonseca who was
already disappointed that I didn't speak Spanish as well as
I should was super disappointed when I had. Maybe. Spanish is
good. Maybe he was just trying to flex the finger and that's
why he did the wrist thing cuz he's just like I want to show this
Thing off. No, you definitely don't like that. Okay, you like to show off other things but not that digit
Just you're you're an attractive man now I
In AJ Burnett's defense, I I don't know what you look like in 2003. Yeah
You've had a you had a glow up.
Although the hair is giving you problems.
It's really a problem, man.
And so I mean, I say this like it's
going to sound like a bragging situation.
But apparently, I've never been on television before,
apparently everybody wants this hair color that I have.
It's funny when I see old pictures of Izzy,
and I'm like, oh, it was darker,
but it was so always, I've always known you with gray hair.
I don't know of a version of you that had all black hair.
It's been coming in pretty solidly gray
for about the last 15 years.
But it does look like you've dyed it this color.
Well that's what, I mean, I guess, right?
That's what people seem to assume.
Because it's a compliment on some level,
because you don't look old enough
to have a head full of gray hair.
That's right.
And because it is trendy to get this hair color.
Cisco.
Oftentimes it's women just flat out asking me,
it's like, hey, who does your hair?
I was like, nobody.
In fact, my barber asked me one time who colors my hair.
I was like, you're the only one who touches my head.
What are you talking about, man?
And so the other day at this dare party thing,
beach party, or pool party, I was in the pool,
my friends had left for a second,
and somebody sort of just approaches me
and starts asking me, oh, you have to tell me
how you do your hair, and I'm just like,
sorry, but I don't actually do anything to my hair,
it's all natural, and he just wouldn't believe me.
So he kept asking, but then he just kept talking.
And I realized, oh, that was just his honor.
He's hitting on you.
This dude is absolutely just hitting on me.
And then like we introduced, I was introduced to him.
I told him my name and I guess he was a little drunk
cause he thought that me telling him that my name was Israel
decided that we needed to talk about
the Israel parasite situation.
And I'm like, no, no, buddy. I don't want to talk about that Israel-Palestine situation, and I'm like, no, no.
I don't wanna talk about that.
I just said Israel was my name, and they're like,
he was like, oh, okay, and then I forget where he went
from there, then I was just doing the polite
sort of float away thing and just sort of let him
talk to himself, but it's the best thing you could do
to somebody is go up to them and compliment them, right?
But it's just too many, Mike, you understand this,
it's just too many conversations.
It's too many conversations, I don't need it all the time.
Izzy, you have very nice teeth today.
Totally natural, look at it.
Yeah.
A couple things.
Number one, you need to stop telling people
your name's Israel.
I can't say Izzy naturally.
Yes, just say-
Government name, you can't do that?
Iz.
Well, come up with a fake name.
People ask me what my name is, I say my name's Ben.
If you don't know who I am, my name's Ben.
How old are you in this photo, Izzy?
That's probably my Miami Herald time,
so I'm like 25, 26 maybe.
That's that.
How old are your teeth now?
My teeth are not, the only thing I ever do
with my teeth is get Invisalign.
Really?
You can come examine if you want.
Wait, hold on.
Mm-hmm.
Real teeth.
You can tell.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, actually yes
There you go all right, so you got in visual
I'm natural yeah, and then like when I had in visalign so these two teeth were a little kind of buck right so these two
Teeth I just had to shave the sides down a little bit so everything else quite nicely across
Damn it. I'm getting charged 50 bucks because there was a dentist appointment after I got to cancel today, so
You do it every time I see damn it. I'm getting charged 50 bucks because there was a dentist appointment after I got to cancel today
You guys will give out fake names to people Jack Spade Jack Spade over you should ask him Oh, that's my creator player name. No
Why would I check into a whole why you
Create like a month ago. We relive the story like a month ago
It's canon you're walking that back. Yes. It's my creator player name. You might use a logical liar
Yeah, this is Roy. We did a mystery crate literally a month ago where we rehashed the whole story and we talked about it
Yeah, yes, and Billy
Yes, so you lied initially
Exhibiting the behavior you lie about also a need a logical
He'd also believe his lies and he's telling us his lies are not true
You also told us a need gave you a fake name the first time you met her. Yeah, that is so that was true
That's what you say. Her name was Misha Lee
Like the singer Michelle a chalet. No, no, not Michelle a Misha first name Lee last
Oh, Michelle she gave you a full in her defense. it was dating apps, so she was, you know,
she was a little unsure of the landscape.
Hey, Misha Leigh, that's a great fake name.
Yeah, it was a friend's name, she used a friend's name.
Oh, so it's a real, well, that's not cool, hold on.
She's meeting a complete stranger, so I understand.
Yeah, what if you were like an ax murderer, hold on.
And now, and now you're-
What ever made a difference?
I find your friend, like now they search for you
and they find- Accidentally murdered another Misha Lee
and happens to be your best friend.
Yeah.
The Terminator?
Did you like ever, how long into this relationship
did it take before you met Misha Lee?
I don't know, a year?
Did Misha know this was going on?
I assumed that she did not know.
Is any of this true?
Yes, this is all true.
The first time Ani introduced Roy to Misha Lee,
she used a fake name for Misha not to throw off the cover.
She said, this is a friend Aneed.
Yes.
Yeah.
Ha ha.
And the daisy chain continues.
Ha ha ha.
Tim Hardaway Jr., Tim Hardaway Sr.'s fake name
at a hotel used to be Speedy Gonzalez.
Really?
Until that got out. I feel like that would draw more attention. Yeah, I'd be like he's here Ron Mexico Ron Mexico
That's gotta be the greatest fake name ever is he while searching for old photos of you
I found here that men's journal did a the ESPN reporter. That's as shredded as the pros
Yeah, that's oh is that a that the railroad is that oh is that the railroad?
I'm seeing a picture of you that's not on the railroad.
The railroad ones, railroad ones where Dan exposed those
when I was on the show with him one time.
And then Men's Fitness got a hold, I think,
of maybe that image and then started
asking me a bunch of questions.
Wait, how did Dan get access to the images?
So I was doing a show with him and the person who
shot them for me was sending me back the final
versions of whether or not just the ones from his camera and
Happened to be looking through them while I was doing the show and I think
That's when Mike had me take my shirt off and asked me how I got my nipples to be so small you had a David
Samson because you were fat growing up and then doesn't make any sense. I did didn't me in yeah
My nipples were small the whole time. That's crazy. You know you were fat growing up. You don't know the story
It's the origin story. You got good nips, man. Thanks. Thanks. I'm proud of my nips
I was proud of my nips in my nose or two of my two of my favorite parts
That was like
2016 of nine years ago, but look at his hair. Yeah, I saw a different photo though the one of you standing
Bull Junk. Oh he's got jeans on, all right.
That's a great question, man.
It was just a lot of freaking work.
And then that diet, because I mean, I work the abs.
And it's just not a thing.
It's my 99% diet.
No, no, no.
Like, he's got the bulging.
And he's got like the little Paul Rudd's an Ant Man thing.
I'm like, how did Paul Rudd get that?
Izzy and I shared a trainer for a few.
Shredding for the wedding. Oh, man, I remember that. I went to him like trainer for a few shredding for the wedding
I went to him like four times
What I hated this a few sessions. I think it was two
I don't think I ever looked forward to anything less than going to see as he's trained
What did they make you do it was just a lot of like the the dumbbell the bar like the like what's those things the?
Kettlebells kettlebells a lot of those shit. What you do to get the things on the side
How do I get the things on the side?
I think those are just my ribs, man.
I think I'm just kidding.
No, it's not the ribs.
I think I know what you're talking about.
The answer is I'm not sure.
But I'm telling you, back then it was diet,
because then and now it's a good like 8% difference
in body fat.
You got a little vein going down your pee pee.
I want one of those.
You don't know what goes all the way down there.
It's implied.
Because of the implication.
