You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Don Levertor Show with the Stugat's Podcast. I thought I was going to be a brave little boy last night, and I turned on a scary movie while I was home alone to celebrate Halloween, home alone is not a scary movie not that movie Actually, it was well, I shouldn't even really call it a scary movie. It was a movie that was scary to me that Maybe not does that I don't know if it counts as a scary movie, but not in the horror genre mystery thriller genre perhaps scary movies Not a scary movie either

No, uh Scary movie did scare me when I was little the movie was the new Kenneth Branagh Poirot haunting and Venice which they the scary movie with Tina Fey and Tina Fey isn't it She plays a very similar character to her character and only murderers in the building Where'd you see it? It's on Hulu. It came out yesterday on Hulu. Free, what do you mean? If you have Hulu.

I just subscribed to Hulu. Why? Because some of these subscription things you need to pay like two now. You have a free trial with Hulu. You can't do a free trial. It's included with Hulu. Her free trial is my cable provider.

So this is great news. Really? Do you have sports? Life sports. Wow. I have YouTube TV. Well, no free ass. Wait, hold on.

Jessica, you got scared by an Agatha Christie movie? OK, here's the thing. So the first two, Kenneth Brana, I am a student of the Poirot genre. I grew up watching the David Souchet Poirots, which were not scary at all. They were very British. And they're always on PBS now.

And his Poro was the, it is the canonical Poro. Very true to the books. Kenneth Branagh has made Poro, he's given him like too much of a backstory. Like I don't want to know about Poiros, love like, I want him to be a little ambiguous, and I just want him to be a little weird, kind of loser nerd detective guy,

who's very particular, very snobby. And Branna has injected a little bit of himself into Poirot too much, I would say. I will say this film cut out all the extras. It was just a good, solid murder mystery with a couple twists at the end, but it was very scary.

And I had to pause it like six times because I kept hearing noises. At one point, my dog was like missing in my apartment and I had to like my apartment is like two rooms. I was like, oh my god, where is she? She put it like she's been taken and then I was like, okay, I this is this movie is getting to me. I was very scared. I have an observation I've made on Poirot from his previous two movies that I've seen that I'm wondering if you feel the same way. Bad detective.

Well, that's Branagh injecting himself into Quarrow. He's a great detective. He's a no at all. He knows that. He's a spoiler alert. Here's the thing about Quarrow from the way the last two movies that I've seen have ended. Kind of just decides when the law applies and when it doesn't, depending on his feelings.

That's every different. Which I feel like is not the way detectives should be operating. You can't just determine that you know who committed said crime and then decide that was justified they can go you're speaking to a larger issue of us and believe in introducing something called law enforcement especially in that era oh yeah thank god they fixed that all doing things according to that that was not my implication at all col Colombo is the exact same way, by the way. Colombo's catching these guys doing some of the most

illegal shit you've ever, but it's LAPD. So what are you gonna do? I mean, it's Colombo. But I will say Billy, Porrow is a great detective because he always, well, usually we'll find who did it. And he will do it in a way in which there is all, the formula for every agatha Christie.

Poirot is someone dies. It usually takes place in one setting, whether it's at like someone's summer estate or on a boat or in this case in Venice, in this Palazzo on Halloween. It was very spooky and Poirot interviews all of the suspects. And then he you think you figured out who it is. He implies that he knows who it is that everyone comes together and think you figured out who it is. He implies that he knows who it is, then everyone comes together and you actually find out who it is. There's a big twist.

Everyone's in the same room. Usually another murder or something will happen right before that and it'll throw a little curveball at ya. And then if you're lucky, like in this movie, there's a twist after the twist. I was not expecting that. I have a question without spoilers because I saw the trailer for it,

and it seemed like it was venturing into the supernatural, and I was like, I don't know if this is for me. Can we go down that path? I don't want to spoil it, because that is a big element of the film, and it was very scary. I know people, I think we've had this debate before about what's scarier, like slasher films

or things that involve the paranormal, the paranormal, I think of this one when we were talking about the Pope's exorcist, which retconned the Bible and the Spanish inquisition. So it was right up my alley. And there are some people prefer gory things because they're like, this takes place in our reality and you can conceptualize it. I prefer things that are supernatural because I don't take it as literally and I'm like, this is a little silly. This movie had a little bit of both so it was very scary. I'm like it. Agatha Christie books, they flirt with the supernatural but then it was, it's all, it's like Scooby Doo. Like, oh, it was the Mr. Carothers all along and he was using levers and things like that

to create the apparition that was actually just a projection. But I wanted to ask you, Jessica, because I feel like Ryan Johnson and the Knives Out franchise has kind of stolen the thunder away from Agatha Christie movies. Kenneth Bronner, bless his heart, you can't keep up with Ryan Johnson, you can't keep up with his casting,

you can't keep up with the twists that he's gotten his movies. I agree, and that's why I thought this movie was good because instead of trying to do a, like the best movies I think have a little bit of each genre and can kind of bend your expectations about what you're about to see.

And Knives Out was good because it was like comedy and murder mystery. This one was like horror and murder mystery, which I thought was a good blend where it wasn't competing at all with Ryan Johnson and knives out. It was like its own kind of like thing and it was very spooky and I was not I fell asleep with the lights on last night. Another question. Was there enough champagne to fill the Nile? Champagne. Not in this one. Put it on the pole, please, Ju-ju.

Has knives out, stolen all of Agatha Christie's thunder, and also put on the pole, scarier movies, or scarier genres, slasher films, or paranormal. I have a potential pole, then, and I'm wondering, and I want to kind of get the groups opinion on. So if you were, you know, the victim of a crime here, would you want, pro-row, or would you want Benoit Blum? Oh, come on. Add Colombo, I mean, I have to have Colombo in there. Colombo, so you can Quarro or would you want Benoit Blum? Oh, come on.

Add Colombo. I mean, I have to put Colombo in there. Colombo, so you can. Colombo. If you're a rich person, Colombo will catch you. They always underestimate him. But if you're a rich person that was the victim of a crime, do you want Colombo digging around and seeing what's going on there?

Finding out that you are actually an awful person. Exactly. Exactly. Right. on there finding out that you're actually an awful person exactly right is Jessica are Jessica and david samson the only two people that we have here who are scared of watching a scary movie alone david samson wants to make sure in hotels that he is in that there are people downstairs not just for scary movies but just in case he needs anything at all and can't sleep at night, he will wander around the lobby of a hotel.

Anyone else here scared of movies, so scared of movies that they won't watch them alone? I don't watch scary movies, I don't like them, but the weird thing is I'll watch a true crime documentary where it's like, oh, that could easily happen to me. I don't know what it is. I'll watch so many things that are true crime that could actually happen. And then the scary movie, I'm like, I don't know, I don't know what it is. I'll watch so many things, they're true crime that could actually happen. And then the scary movie, I'm like, ah, I don't know, I don't know what's that. Lucy, I should have made you come over last time

watch this movie with me. I was very spooked. I needed a, Lehman was fishing. Did you find your dog? She was under my bed. She never goes under my bed. Why was she under my bed? Fishing sounds like the perfect cover.

It's, I don't know for what? For what? I'm early on in my detective agency days, but it seems like the perfect mind-fishing day. Fishing day. You know for what? You know for what? You know for what?

You know for what? You know for what? You know for what? You know for what? You know for what? You know for what? You know for what? You know for what?

You will get to solve a crime. You were our shows detective and we're given multiple cases and having solved all the crime. Define fucking money.

Yeah, who stole the site? I told you it was Bob. I already told you that. But there was no evidence of that. You just decided that. It was very bad for you. It was for retired engineer who was nothing but great to us. You accused him of death.

I love him by the way. He's like a father figure to me. He got our studios built here. He got us to move and you're accusing him of crime as a punctuation. I'm coming to a show and I cover a fourth. All the guy wants to do is retire and paint a damn barn. And you can't leave him alone. And that paint is expensive.

Jessica, I have been when you say that Lucy, you should have invited her over. I have been palpably moved by Lucy saying that her arrival in Miami has only been made palatable by your friendship and you showing her around and you taking time out to actually do things other than watch scary movies with her as a security blanket. I think I'm the only person here who hasn't tried to hit her with my car. So the bar is very low. She's also just saying we're all a bunch of turd

because none of us will hang out with her outside of work. I mean, it's kind of true. No one's asked. Bull, I'm always trying to. You have, actually, Mike Ryan is asked. She just always says no. He asked, he's like, what do you, he's like, you want to hang out and watch Clutch football?

This Saturday, what do you think I've been doing every weekend? And gone. Lucy is a He asks, he's like, he's like, you wanna hang out? Watch college football this Saturday. What do you think I've been doing every weekend? And go on. Lucy is a weird schedule where it's like, Lucy can hang out on a Tuesday. And the weekend she's gone. That's my schedule. But that's when she's babysitting for me.

That's a lot of our schedules. Look, I told her I'd take her to Nyolke Barato. All right, on 79. That's not an offer. What do you mean? I do what? She likes quirky things and we can find a little quirky thing. You should go with Tony and John Reed to Nielke

Walato. He should show. He should. Tony should go off road to show you some by my house that clothes and it still has the neon cashier sign hanging from the ceiling in this vacant building and it's still on. I have to be able to get I know where we where we should go off-roading with Lucy. There's a Facebook post going around that is shocked, Kendall to the core. Super wheels is closing. That's impossible. And they've announced that DJ Lazz is playing the final night. However, they have not announced when the final night is. Kendall stand. This is going to be the hottest ticket in Kendall. She needs a no-showman.

I'm saying even like, go away back to when Bobby Washington was playing for Killian. I may have never been able to. There has never been a hot end ticket. The Pimp with the limp. That Chico is a Pimp. He's got a limp. Lucy, I believe that metal arc media should fund you and Tony visiting various incredibly Hispanic weird places in Miami so that you can really get more of the culture than there

is next to Jessica necessarily, who may not know exactly all the hiding places in Miami where you can find some of the weird Hispanic shit. I would love that. You got to take her to a Botanica. You got to be careful that there's going to be sacrifice. We have to be very careful, but now we got to choose which one. Don't talk about this. This is not, you talked about it.

We have a couple of things in our mind. Take her to the Hylia fountain. Hylia fountain? Oh, there's a tropical park hill. A tropical park, yeah. You can come, I have to do a punishment there. Just get ready. You're going to have to train. For what? It's a tropical park hill. Yep. No, you can come. I have to do a punishment there. Just get ready. You're going to have to train.

For what? It's a climb the hill. Well, I get loose. You lost. I'll just stay down. OK. We should take her to the parking garage at the Clevelander. Oh, did you guys see what they're

doing to the Clevelander? What they're trying to do to the Clevelander? They're going 30 stories up and claiming affordable housing. They're just stealing all of the valuable land around here and trying to frame it under. You can't steal your own land, can you? But the air rights, right? The perfect line.

Other people. I think you can't take all the history and all the art deco out there to, you can't trust the Clevelander people to build that, to build something that's affordable housing on the least affordable strip of land that there would be in Miami if they build a palace like you live there, dad. Don Lebertard.

You got to know I'm a big Colombo guy, salute the dead boy. Okay. I don't think that's proof. I don't think that's proof, man. I don't think that's proof. I don't think that's a lie. I don't think that's a lie. I don't think that's a lie. Yes, that's a lie. I don't think that's proof. I don't think that's proof. I think that's a lie. I don't think that's a lie. I don't think that's a lie. I don't think that is evidence. Salute to that boy. It's it's it's just Kim

and Flaj. It suggests that you do. There's no idea what we're talking about. And now it's just Googling it. Still gots. I'm not Googling in here. My grandma I'm a state in the country. I watch the braves, I watched the Colombo, I watched Matt Lutton, I watched Andy Griffin. Yeah, I watched the show. But you go to the Pillar of the Bucks, damn. You tell him, you tell him, you tell him, you tell him, you tell him, you tell him, you tell him, you tell him,

back to you stew. VCC Don't Liberty Show with their stew got. I have a couple of serious stories that I want to get to, but as I was preparing to get to them, one of them in England and one of them in Arizona, Amino Hassan came in here and said something that I don't believe can be true, that he is saying he simply discovered last night as a truth and not only do I not believe it's true, I don't want to believe that what he is saying is true, that a generation of kids does not in any way have an appreciation for one of the greatest edible things in the history of making edible things.

I don't believe you. Why and how are you coming upon the observation that kids today do not like the Reese's peanut butter cop? Then there you go. Holding in my hand, the single serving Reese's peanut butter cop right here on camera. Where'd you get that? Don't worry about that.

So last night, I've been looking for it. We go trick-or-treat. So I said don't worry about that. Talk to me later. I'll go trick-or-treat with my kids, right? And you know, they're getting the grab bags of candy or whatever. And when they're going through the stuff, they asked me, Dad, what do you like? I said, I like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Is it really? All of our teachers like it too. I don't know why. I'm saying, what do you mean you don't know why? I said, nobody eats Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

So what do you mean, nobody eats Reese's Peanut Butter Cups? Like none of them or their friends eat the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. And as we're going to the different houses, I'm mentioning this to the parents and they're saying, yeah, it's true. They don't, you know, given the selection, they don't choose it. And I said, how is that possible?

Because like, Dan, I'm saying, this is one of the most delicious candies there is. Then I started thinking about it. This is an entire generation of children who have been living in a world where the peanut has been weaponized, something to be feared. They don't eat peanut butter. Stigmatized. Stigmatized, more than weaponized. I don't think peanut peanut has been weaponized, something to be feared. They don't eat peanut butter. Stigmatized.

Stigmatized. More than that. I don't think peanut butter has been weaponized. It's weaponized. What do you mean it's weaponized? You walk around with some peanuts, you're now a weapon. You're a risk. Oh, was this prepared for the facility?

Oh, it's a little bit too much for the facility that contains peanuts. Dan, as a parent, you don't know this, but like you're told told, on days like, there's a birthday party or something, you're not allowed to take any candy that has peanuts and some chocolates and it's like a whole- So it's good to be a fool.

The list of things that you can take to a school to celebrate your child is like, you could take a plate and that's it. Even then, use your imagination and eat something. Just like Rufio. Exactly. Wow, full circle eat it. It has been replaced by almond butter.

Why do you sound so surprised whenever Tony does anything well? No, it's not. I was well done. That was very well done. Number one, number two. Almond butter. There's no such thing as a Reese's almond butter cup.

No one wants that. No one. Beat a butter cup. Oh, it would taste the same. No, what are almond buttercup? No one wants that. No one. Beat it buttercup. Oh, it would taste the same. No, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? Stop the race man. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. You can't just do it. Hold on, hold on, hold on. That is creamy. Cock in the head house, you're Dan. What is your stance on peanuts? We need to know. Well, I can't have.

Oh, that's it. We know it's now okay. Our grade. Weaponized. I mean, I wonder if it's not okay. Our great. Weaponized. I mean, I wonder if it's not just a peanut thing, because one of my friends actually texted me last night too. She was giving out Halloween candy to trick-or-treaters, and she said, the kids took all of the sugar

candy without chocolate and left all of the chocolate candy behind, including twix and tootsie rolls, which are not peanut-related. They were just not interested in any chocolate candy. They wanted starburst skittles, all of the things that don't have chocolate in them. Correct, correct me if I'm wrong. If you are somebody who has taken away peanut or peanut butter from the kids,

then are you also somebody who's taking dairy away from the kids? Are you using alternate milk? Uh, milks like almond milk and oat milk and the different milks? Is that what's happening? Talking to someone in particular here? What? Me? Yeah. Why? I like milk. Well, I don't like a glass of milk, but I had ice cream last night. Oh. It's delicious. But people aren't allergic to dairy the way they're allergic to peanuts. They're just intolerant of it and having upset tummy.

Yeah. Then that takes you to tummy-ex City. Yeah. And that's called building character exactly not now Billy it's funny that you should mention that because there is a belief that peanut allergies are on the rise because we've removed peanuts from gent pop thank you and so people aren't building the the necessary immunities towards it can you imagine George Washington Carver rolling over in his communities towards it. Can you imagine George Washington Carver rolling over in his grave today? Finally, some people say, no, no, no, peanuts, I can't do.

He did 8,000 things with peanuts. He ran a car off peanut. CWC. Lucy, I do not feel like you yet have the strength of your convictions to join me as this, the peanut gallery, or the almond butter gallery crew gallery. She's one of us. This looks like she likes almond butter too and you guys are

poo-pooing almond butter and there are any number of almond nuts sunflower butter no I can have started almond milk. I can have macadamia nuts I cannot have cas. I cannot have macadamia nuts. I cannot have cashews. I cannot have walnuts. It's a pecans or pecans. If this is very quiet, this is very important. It's either program or program. You're a consultant. You're a consultant.

Yeah. Here's the deal, man. A means right, by the way, the reason that there's these allergies is because there's no exposure to them. I was actually having a conversation with Google before the show that I can't get into how far it went down this path. Because I got pretty far down this path But I'm like this exactly why everyone's allergic because no one's eating them so no one's tummy is used to them

And I may have said you know what if we lose a couple kids because of peanuts is it the most? I didn't say I Well the food I didn't say it said you may have said it. I may have I didn't say I did I went to school for 12 years in grade school Right, I didn't meet a single person in my life who was like, don't bring the peanuts around me. Now every school is like a war zone. You don't know anyone with a peanut, I know several people with peanut allergies.

Never. Also, this is such a boomer conversation. We're not letting kids have nots these days. I mean, it's soft. They're soft. Again, Lucy, I feel like you got steamrolled here because I believe you're with me. You can't do it. I know, I'm not with you. I'm not with them either. I like almond butter and I like peanut and I like Reese's and I think that if you can't eat it and you want to, you should and then if you can't then don't.

I don't, I really don't understand why everyone's upset right now and I'm overwhelmed. She's got the two sides. She's got the two sides. She doesn't have to choose a side. It's how we do the side. It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, Lucy. Do you know what I mean? I don't.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't, I really don't understand why everyone's so upset right now. And I'm overwhelmed. She's got the truth inside. She's got the truth inside. I have to choose a side. It's how we do the show. It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, Lucy. Join us.

We're the strong ones. We have numbers. Exactly. I want you to know. Exactly. Enough post-apocalyptic TV shows to know. Yeah. You're doing this side that has numbers.

Here's a hint. If you don't know what side you're on, call someone a boomer. It's what I do every time. Oh, hi. You know, here's the thing. Like almond butter. I'm not saying you don't like it I'm just saying like given the choice

Given the choice you'd rather have peanut butter also what's like depends on the day She's a LA girl. I do like almond butter and I like peanut butter like I don't I like peanut butter better And like my candies. What about cashew butter? I don't think I've had cashew butter guys really good Yeah, what candies are being made with almond butter and cashew butter? Can you please explain them to me? This is super, it's butter. None of them. The gross healthy ones are made with that stuff.

And I don't like the gross healthy things. They're not really good. They're not really good. The sun's set for it. The sun flower butter. Oh my. That's terrible. The healthy ones taste different and you know it.

That's where I want. I want people to stop bringing them in. I'm telling you, almond bring them in. Don't bring them in. Don't bring them in. Don't bring them in. Don't bring them in. It't bother. No, this is getting the day the dogs here, if you just have the dogs here. Everyone knows this, Dan. Everyone knows.

I'm not saying it doesn't taste better. I am saying the healthy ones are also very good. I agree with Dan. They're so much sugar in them. How can they be bad? It brings me to another point, by the way. Well, hold on. Before you get to that, these kids that are going

and they're getting the gummies and they're getting the skitters and all that stuff, they don't know about red dye 40. Thank you, Billy. Can't wait. Thank you, Billy. Oh, I worse the peanuts. I'll tell you that right now. Don't know about red dye 40. Thank you Billy. Thank you Billy. A lot worse than peanuts. I'll tell you that right now. Don't need anything red. Ever, ever.

It's killer people. Let me go, I want to get on my shoulder. I can't hold in California. On something else as well. Hey parents, when you're Halloween, hosting whatever, you got the candy bowls outside. Don't give us your off brand weird alternative healthy candies. Right down the

middle, Reese's, Skittles, Starbursts. You're not in California. Three musketeers. To the classics. And no dumbdums. Get out of here. Dumbdums are like a cop out. Dumbdums are what you give a kid after they get a haircut. Yeah. Here's a question. When you're growing up and everyone would be like, Oh, there's a dentist on my block and he gives out two brushes. Dorked. Wouldn't that be bad for business? Shouldn't he be giving out the most disgusting candy? They used to.

The God stoppers. They used to. So, okay, so let me go to 20th century on you, all right? 20 CB. You go to the dentist and you get the cleaning and everything. At the end, as a reward, Jessica, they'd hand you like, here, this grab, this huge bowl of candy. and you get the cleaning and everything at the end, as a reward Jessica, they'd hand you like, here, this grab, this huge bowl of candy,

and you just like, er, like the bucket of death, you just claw through it, you get something awful for you, and then sometime like I wanna say in the late 90s, maybe early 2000s, someone said, that's a bad precedent, and they changed it to like stickers. And now my kids never knew the joy of having like your mouth thrilled by like hooks and claws and all the stuff

that a dentist has. But when you walk out, you got yourself a nice blow pop or something like that. Jess Lucy, before when you went to the dentist and you had the treasure chest, you'd go into and get the candy, the person at the reception desk would look to see what candy you took.

And that's how they knew how many months away to schedule your next appointment. You and that's how they knew how many months away to schedule your next appointment. You know what's funny about this? You are saying things to Lucy that are making her mouth hang open, and Amina's having this experience with his young children in a variety of different places,

where he's feeling his age all the time, and one of the places. You're not gonna do better than Lafayette. But it's not better than Lafayette. I mean, shocked his kids the other day trying to explain the concept of taping programs and taping music. Yeah, so I told my 13-year- old that you used to listen to the radio and have a blank cassette in the deck ready for when that song you've been waiting for comes on. You got a rush and you hit the record button and that's how you tape songs. My kid said, oh, so if you change the channel and the song is on, you recorded

and it would have the whole song though, right? I said, well, no, it would start recording from when you press record. My kid could not understand, wait, what do you mean? It didn't tape the whole thing. I said, there's no T-vo. There's no DVRing of what was before. It just starts where it starts. Same thing with movies.

You used to tape movies on TV. And I told my kid, the original Star Wars movie, for me, on the tape that we had, it started when Han Solo meets Luke Skywalker. So I missed the entire beginning of the movie. I'm not petty. It's such an insane thing to do. Like, oh, hold on, let me put in this square cartridge

and do another thing. And then somehow this thing Can see that thing and then take it from there and then put it here. Yeah, that's right My kids like let's do it. I said well, I mean we're gonna need some things. I don't think exist anymore Do they make blank cassettes anymore? Lucy Lucy this countdown that you're doing where you helpfully count us down here What are you going for?

Is it prices right model? Is it the game show? What are you doing? I'm going Ben and White and I missed 10 and now I'm at five. I just want people to enjoy it and know how much time we have left. Goobers! Don Lebertard! How do you know it's haunted? Why? I saw ghouls. Oh, okay. Multiple ghouls.

That'll do it, yeah. I saw, well, I saw the why I saw ghouls oh okay multiple that'll do it yeah I saw well I saw the face of one ghoul I had a ghoul scream in my ear once and I had a mirror lemon row painting that kept moving around the house onto the house yep still gots usually when I think there's an intruder I'll walk down the hall and I'll just loudly say take whatever you want just leave me alone We're good Just a couple steps you have some bottles of water.

If you're thirsty. This is the Don Lebathar show with this Tugat. ["Duncan Dance"] Dude, I might actually buy this now. I might actually buy a cassette deck. Teach you old kiddos. Yeah. How to really do it?

It could be records, and then 30 really valuable It's one of you like somethings come back something zone What eight tracks they never came back never well, right? You only ever really need one tape though You just always record over it. Oh, yeah Like you don't need a blank tape. You just need another tape and then you have then you have decisions That's how kids you learn how to make decisions. You get those little cosplays. Play second.

And this is what you do, Billy. You get that crumple up piece of paper and you put it in the little divot so that it would record. Do you remember that? No. Oh, at the top of the tape. Yep. It had those little tabs.

If the tab was broken off, then it wouldn't record on it. That was how you protected it. But you could beat that tab by crumpling up some paper and put it back in. What if you put a piece of Scotch tape across it? Scotch tape. Scotch tape. You had to make decisions, guys.

Are we going to save your fifth birthday or are we going to save Power Rangers movie that was on? And it was important. You needed to watch Power Rangers movie. Did you guys watch How To with John Wilson? There was an episode at the end of last season where there was a guy who had every single Mets game for the last 20 years. I saw that that all in his apartment. That I can't believe that show gets made and I'm delighted that that show gets made. It is so clever.

It is and so ridiculous. He finds so many unusual people. It is probably one of the most underrated shows I've watched in a while, but I was astounded that this guy held on to every taped meds game from decades ago. Like not even just the good ones. Like he had a ton of taped meds games with all the commercials intact.

That's great. What do you do with it? I love that. There's a local bar called Sandbar that John Taffer tried to ruin, but right back into that. They didn't have systems Mike But they occasionally yeah the one in the Grove he renamed it the hot rocket was a shit show to He took out the lifeguard stand I mean impossible took the sand off the floor he ruined that coconut growth

You this is prime real estate plan. Where's the plant? 30% of the population around here is between the ages of 30 and 35. That means they have a lot of disposable income. They want to go out, have a good time. They don't want sand in their shoes. They don't want this college bar that's become famous. They want to cook their own seafood. That's what they want. On a slab of salt. It was terrible.

John's half ruined. It didn't, it's never really bounced back. Neither is the grove. But sometimes the cake is only. Kudos still kicking though, baby. No, the grove is making a comeback. No, Kudos still kicking, baby. The grove is making a comeback.

Not by anyone that you want, dude. It's an afloan comeback. Exactly right. A lot of kids, I was. Cocole with you. Cocole with you. Yeah, it's been gentrified. A lot of little kids.

They got a Mr. O'one there, no? Mr. Moses now, like like a very expensive sushi joint. Yeah. I think they sub Western Wednesdays. But my point is that occasionally they'll play the old sugar bowl that the hurricanes beat the gators in. And they air the commercials as is because they taped it. And you get to see all these first commercials

about eight promoting HDTVs and how it's like a family watching a movie and like someone reaches out of the screen. Yeah. And you can get them available at Sears. Oh, shout out to Sears. I love my favorite part about watching all these hurricanes games outside of just seeing all the immense talent and reminiscing about how good we used to be was seeing all the old commercials over there. And then I just get pissed off at John Taffer.

I just work my way all the way back. How many times are you gonna tell us that stupid story about the thing you put so people touch their butts going to the dance floor? The butt funnel! The butt funnel, yeah! Our inventor! Get a new story, buddy.

You know what he's never done before? Four butt funnels. But he's gonna do it for this bar. What? Change the game. I'm just trying to help these people get back on their feet. Sorry, Jess. You have to look through the plant.

That was what they... Oh, yeah, yeah. You've got to look around the plant. You've got to be corner stallions. Yes. For those of you who do not know, Taffer, every time he's talking to anybody, he is looking at them and lecturing them sideways as if there were a big tree shrub between them and he had to look around it in order to deliver what his message is you guys are simply saying you're accusing

him of ruining name coconut grove and sand bar. Yep. And also crediting him with a but funnel and red zone. Different to me in college. Doesn't say I don't know what we're talking about. But does it. Doesn't he claim that he started the red zone Yeah, he makes no no, I'm not red zone Sunday ticket Sunday ticket and the internet. Okay, he invented watching every game out of market

No, he invented the idea of being able to watch every game out of market Man's a genius to be honest like stew got six credit for everything I thought of it anyone who had a cat like I wish I could watch every game at the for everything. I thought of it. Anyone who had a sad or a couch, I wish I could watch every game at the same time. I must have invented that. Mike, I don't know if I'm allowed to say this about a certain venture that you're involved in involving a...

No, you're not. Okay. Excellent work. As always, go sit in the penalty bar. Okay. Let's get to this story here involving the errors. I'm going to go in the bar now. You can mention that I'm like getting into a bar business,

but you can't mention the bar. Oh, no, that's what I meant. You can go just sit in the bar. Oh, no, no, no, but this is important because I'm rooting for my son. Does this happen in the NHL? Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, I know high sticking.

I know, but this is important. It is an appeal. No, go, just go and come back and give us whatever you're shutting it down. Are you shutting it down? Are you shutting it down? I'm shutting it down. He's shutting it down? I'm shutting it down. He's shutting it down.

I'm shutting it down. It's being shut down. If you want to bring it back here, you can bring it back here. But I don't understand the amount of disrespect that there is. I need you to deliver it to me like Taffer, though. If you do, then I'll have to add.

Or I'll bring you the plant. Yeah. I need you to leave the room right now. You need a plant. I want to get to this higher story involving the Arizona Cardinals. You got to call me a loser and tell me, and tell me that I'll always be a failure. He's drinking! Make me admit that I'm a failure to you.

I admit that you're a failure. Oh no, they're getting the ice of the glass. The ice of the glass? Always sense it. When it's scooped with the glass. Let's go first there! Call me a failure. When it's scooped with the glass. It's scoopers there! Call me a failure. I don't want to see you anymore.

Well, you have to look around the table. I never want to see you again. Ah! Shut it down. ESPN interviewed more than three dozen current and former Arizona Cardinals employees. They described a workplace they found abusive and intimidating in part due to

a fear of the owner's unpredictable tirades. This is the Phoenix Suns. We're also plagued by this. If only we had an expert around here who could stay in the room without getting penalized to tell. Bring them back. I don't want to bring them back yet. Hey, man, you can unshut something down. It went back to Sandbar, moral, the story. It did go back to Sandbar, but you say it's never been the same. Hasn't. Do they have those sand lice there? Like, when they had the sand on the floor,

that would bite people's legs in succession? They did not. They do not. No, but they had any beer night. The play. That was great. I love that. Incredible. They do not, but they had any beer night. The play, which was incredible. They also had white trash bash. KY jelly wrestling match. Walk up Fridays.

A walk up Fridays. Billy was a frequenter of walk up Fridays. So was Eric's fulster back in his day. He was more of a whiskey Wednesday, so. Anyway, Krisrii Arizona cardinals have clearly a dysfunction at the top of management that you have seen played out recently with an assortment of stuff that's super weird, just involving Kyler Murray, okay?

Like, I don't know how much of this toxic stuff and lack of leadership ends up polluting all of the decision making, but the Arizona Cardinals went and you've heard me say this a couple of times around here. It really wasn't that long ago that the Cardinals were like nine and two who sees season and a half ago. And they had the best road record in the entire NFL. They were winning more games on the road than anybody else and they started the season looking like they could absolutely be a champion. And what we've seen reported since about

everything happening in their management makes you think that this place was awful. And I wonder how much of this, if it happens to Daniel Snyder, if it's happening with the Phoenix Suns, is it just that all the workplaces are like this and we don't know it, that if you give an incredibly rich man,

a power over his toy, and they're always incredibly rich men. They're men who are not used to being told they're wrong, not used to being told no. Very often they've inherited that power from their father and they get into these workplaces and the employees are terrified of them. And they create environments out of the past where women are not allowed near the football men. Like women are treated as less than the football men and they're not, they're kept apart in a way that's not okay anymore.

That doesn't even make any sense in 2023, but I wonder how many of these worlds are primitive and grandfathered in, like almost literally grandfathered in if some of the money comes from your family where they create these environments that are just unacceptable and obviously unacceptable, you can't have employees fearing their boss this way, but I do wonder how much of a difference there is now, generationally, between what young employees expect and what powerful bosses think they're entitled to as they're right over the wealthy ownership of a team and again I'll say it again their toy so you get a lot of arrested development you got a lot of power that doesn't have to be changed and

goes unchecked yeah goes on jack because of nepotism and because the employees are afraid so you can't tell the person what, you cannot tell the person in charge. It's not because of nepotism, although nepotism might play a role. First of all, racism and sexism are like building blocks of America. Let's just remember that. Put it on the pole, Judy,

or racism and sexism, the building blocks of America. This was a dynamic that was really explored in episode 11 of season five of bar rescue ice mice baby where there was a spoiled rich kid owner you remember this one and john taffer not only had to fix this bar fix that attitude but also basically fix America yeah structurally had problems but the other part of it then that why it's more prevalent in sports than it is in

regular industry, although it is prevalent in regular industry as well, is because this is the playground. This is a toy box. And so many employees within sports feel like, if I speak out against this where I stand up for myself, I'll be excommunicated, then I got to go work a regular job, and I don't want to do that. And so because of that that they have more leeway because they know the demand for people to work there is much greater than the number of people a number of jobs available lucy as you lift again the uh... the papers that indicate that were a minute away from the end of the segment uh... like that i want to ask

i the other day i was skimming through the channels, watching one of these games shows, and I came across deal or no deal. That's not something that would exist in 2023. We wouldn't have 30 women on a stage just holding briefcases anymore. That's not something that would even get mazed today. A lot of careers.

But would it get mazed today? No sexist shows on TV today so I thank god we clear that yeah John Taffer fixed it along with law enforcement we clear that up to we fixed Colombo fixed it yeah Taffer fixed it true say it in front of the plant though I fixed I invented fixing sexism, racism, and law enforcement issues in America. Go, it's just...
