I was gonna say that it's game five, but I think this is the championship parade because we gave him a gentleman sweep. I'm here with my man.
Starting point is 00:00:53 No, it's fun. We're just having a good time. You helped us. I wanted to come in and be the MVP, man. I had a whole week planned out. We go down 0-1. We rally game two. You guys split three and four. And I just come in but we I mean We're happy to have you have a good time
Starting point is 00:01:11 We don't have one other person but first of all so happens We'll get to that in a second because we got a treat for y'all who are not watching this and you're listening to this And if you listened yesterday, we got a special treat for you guys. But before that, Tony Tony Tony's back. What's up? What's up? Oh, that was smooth. That was smooth. You know what we do.
Starting point is 00:01:31 It sounds like you've heard some basketball disrespect this week. You know what? I haven't heard anything this week because I've been in Mexico on a Cuervo trip with the sponsors and stuff. They've been taking care of me, VIP, wine and dine, the whole thing. So I haven't heard anything. I don't know what's going on. I'm coming in fresh, coming in relaxed, I'm just doing my thing.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Yeah, we just had some conversations about how good people are at basketball, and your name came up, and so we'll get to that at some point. I thought last night when I was at the Grizzlies game, Grizzly Heath game, and Ja Morant was aiming to Draco right at my section, I was so excited, cause I was like, you know what? Jai just did my Friday show.
Starting point is 00:02:08 I was like, off top? The funny thing that happened, and we'll get to this, but. Aired out the whole section, bro, with the air Draco? That's crazy, Jai. First, he brought out just the little blickies, just a couple of little handguns. Little hand blickies up there. Little hand blickies.
Starting point is 00:02:24 And that was like jobs not done. The worst part about the experience, or maybe the best part was, when he pulled the first one out, I went, Jason Goff got us some tickets at Great Seats, right behind the Grizzlies bench. When Jai hit the first shot, I think it was in the first quarter,
Starting point is 00:02:39 and pulled the hammer out for the first time, the air hammer out for the first time, I put my face in my hands and put my head down like, come on, John. What are we doing? There's a bunch of Grizzly fans behind me who started yelling at me, don't talk about that tomorrow!
Starting point is 00:02:55 Don't you be talking about that tomorrow! I turned back around to him, but I nodded to him, like, yeah, we'll see, we'll see. Then he did it again. And I turned to them, I was like, he wants me to talk about it! And so I nodded to him, like, yeah, we'll see, we'll see. Then he did it again. And I turned to them, I was like, he wants me to talk about it. And so I found myself going from a head in hands,
Starting point is 00:03:13 please, John, don't do this, to come on, John, do it again, hit another shot, and pull that thing out one more time. Hand blicky protest. He blew smoke off the barrel one time. Oh, let you know that that. I mean, he got hot, so. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:31 I don't know how much. The Draco typically does. When you sling that thing all over section two of fix. I don't know how much of this got on to the broadcast, but there were so many times. You think they had to like make the call, the cutaway call? I asked. to the un-broadcast, but there were so many times. You think they had to like make the call, the cutaway call?
Starting point is 00:03:48 Like hey, we gotta stop showing, like when the streaker hits midfielder, it's like yo, do not show the hand blicky under no circumstances after every three crowd shot. I was at the game, so I asked Jeremy this morning how much of it was on and so he named a few incidences and then I said, what about this one?
Starting point is 00:04:09 And Jeremy was like, nope, they ain't see that one. After the game, after he hit the game winner, he ran and celebrated, he did the conversation or did the interview with Taylor Rooks. And after that, he brought it out. It was the big one, It was the big one. It was the two-hander. And just, and that one did make it.
Starting point is 00:04:30 It was wild. You know who else was at the game? Amin El-Hassan. You remember yesterday where Mr. Amin El-Hassan told us all, I don't use an alarm clock because I don't need it. I don't get hangovers, I'm just built different.
Starting point is 00:04:50 I knew that was bullshit, when I started to think about how clearly, clearly, your body don't listen to you the way that you think it do, because I seen you shoot a jumper. But as you guys can see, there's an empty chair oh that's the jumpers up again let me see that jumper let me see there's no way that that man doesn't need an alarm clock if your hands don't look in a means in a
Starting point is 00:05:22 means bigger defense meager because he's not here to defend himself So why not I want to have this conversation with a means sitting here when he gets here So I didn't watch any game film. I'm like you don't I didn't watch any game from this week. I don't watch games I'm not in the fresh. I just you know, I catch the highlights, but I did catch the highlight of a mean Saying he had the superior being of time That his body knows better than to let him sleep when there's work that needs to be done. I'm actually a little bit worried and I'll tell you why. I've been with Amin on different excursions
Starting point is 00:05:54 that him and I have had. We've gone to Cleveland, we've gone to a whole bunch of places right? I've never seen... Cleveland? I'm trying to think of the other place we went to oh no what's all like and we also went to stop laughing Billy I don't get the joke on this Tony part is I've been to Cleveland whole bunch of places yeah we went somewhere else I mean we try to say like we've gone to Cleveland you could imagine places we've been to be honest we were in Independence Ohio not Cleveland we were staying 45 minutes out of town that I should have been but whatever not the point the point is I've been with a mean on nights where we've drank very much and he bounces back quickly So I've never seen him hung over the the the timing body clock thing
Starting point is 00:06:35 He's got like a Kramer thing where he doesn't need the clock So I'm actually a little bit worried that he's seven minutes late for the people that weren't listening yesterday. Let's relive Let's hear what he said. Can we put the camera on his empty chair while we play that? No, don't do that because now Tony's getting me worried. I'm not a worried kind of guy. That's what I'm saying. But I didn't even consider that there could actually
Starting point is 00:06:54 be something going on and how this is gonna age with an empty chair of a mean without information. Oh yeah, we could be playing with five. We're gonna lose game five and it might be worse to two games. It might be worth two games. It might be worse than that. And we might end up losing the series. Gotta risk it for the biscuit.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Play it! It also famously failed for Kramer. Well yes, yes of course, but. Let's hear what he said yesterday. Iron Man, dude, think about it, someone who doesn't get hangovers, who doesn't sleep a lot, who doesn't need coffee, I am the dream, who has never caught COVID.
Starting point is 00:07:26 That's also true. I'm telling you, dude, oh, we went to Milwaukee. That's where it was. Okay, we went to Milwaukee. Funny enough, it was the Dunkamine thing. We were, it was 2021, so still prime COVID transit, you know. Prime COVID.
Starting point is 00:07:39 It was. I mean, was in this studio sick so many times. But he never had COVID. That's not one of those things like, I didn't test positive, I don't have COVID. He was studio sick so many times. But he never had COVID. That's not one of those things like, I didn't test positive, I don't have COVID. He was in here so many times sick, he's like, no, I don't have it. Let's play, I have one more clip.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Let's play one more clip here. This is one of those like, stupidly masculine things where you take pride in something that's irrelevant. Is it irrelevant? It's 100% irrelevant. I don't know. Like the idea that I don't. You put it on the poll,
Starting point is 00:08:03 would you like to never get hangovers, not need sleep and not need coffee? Yes or no? If it's irrelevant, it'll come back 90% no, right? Maybe 80% no? If it's irrelevant. I feel like these are traits that are not irrelevant. Irrelevant today.
Starting point is 00:08:18 They are. Today, it has reached peak. I just hope that he overslept. Because the most ridiculous of all those things was like I wake up without an alarm clock. The no hangover thing, we all kind of know a friend that's like I don't get hungover, that's not that rare. No, it's not that rare.
Starting point is 00:08:39 In the drinking streets, in these drinking streets, not getting hungover is not what's- I like how you clarified that, because you're like, I'm in these drinking streets, Nick. That's what I'm saying. You don't know these streets like in these drinking streets, not getting hungover is not what? I like how you clarified that, because you're like, I'm in these drinking streets. That's what I'm saying. You don't know these streets like I know these streets. I know a few guys out there that are like, I don't get hungover.
Starting point is 00:08:51 You can't get hungover if you're never not drunk. Bam, that's what I was gonna say, is in these drinking streets, the guy who's like, I never have a hangover, he wakes up, pops one. He wakes up, it pops one, gives a little, he says- Call Hare he wakes up it pops one gives a little get he says call hair the dog dumb hair the dog just get right back on the train baby exactly those are the people who don't have hangovers they always seem
Starting point is 00:09:12 to smell a little bit like I got a question do do we know that Amin made it back home from wherever he was last night. All I know, can we bring in Fuentes? I mean, oh man, what a dream for him. I just, I would like him to tell me. There's a method to my madness, though. What I, okay, what's the method to your madness? The method is, I don't know if you guys know this or not, Amin had a premonition, and the only way that Amin's
Starting point is 00:09:38 gonna die is via a car crash. Oh, we going there? So, no, Amin has gone there, it's what Amin says all the time. Amin says all the time. I've heard all the time. I heard him say that. All I'm saying is, if Amin made it home last night, he's not dead. We know he's not dead. There was no...
Starting point is 00:09:52 He was staying here, and the Casillas Center is... Across the street. Yeah, it's a block away. I think he probably went a couple different places last night, not just the Casillas Center. I don't think we should... If you catch my drift. I don't think we should put his business
Starting point is 00:10:04 out of where specifically he was, until what time. I don't think we should put his business out of where specifically he was, until what time. We don't know. Well, you need to know where he was for us to find him. We need to know the time. Yeah, we gotta track him down at some point. Has anybody sent him a text or a call? When I was in Vegas, after like two days,
Starting point is 00:10:19 no, cause it's related. Two days in, they came in and they knocked on my door to make sure I wasn't dead, because I had Do Not Disturb on my door for the Super Bowl, and I guess so many people just die in the hotel, that after 24 hours of Do Not Disturb, it's protocol for security to come and make sure you're not dead.
Starting point is 00:10:38 But also, why didn't you leave the room for 24 hours? No, I didn't leave the room, I just had Do Not Disturb. I don't like people, I feel bad for them coming in and making my bed every day when I'm just gonna get back and like make a mess anyways. Like I'm having anyone over. I mean, I left to go to radio real like they have like video camera in the hallways and if they're coming, they're like, you'll check the surveillance has he left? He hasn't. I actually died. Did you jump out the window or something? I repelled down, I wanted to do a fun trip. So, all right.
Starting point is 00:11:06 So will someone check on Amin at some point if we just don't see him? Someone needs to check on him. Someone needs to go to the front desk and find out what room he's in and go get that thing a ratatatat. I got an idea. I'm gonna text him you good, question mark.
Starting point is 00:11:18 I don't think you're gonna respond. Bro step number one. This is how every search for a dead person happens. You good? Or just missing. Or just missing. But he's never missed work while I've been here. So now I am a little concerned and I'm gonna talk through it
Starting point is 00:11:32 because it's good content in the moment that I won't be able to go back and make if the worst case has happened. So we have, I believe, and I'm like, this is not my domain, but the way that it's been explained to me is we got a meeting in the morning that it's been explained to me is, we got a meeting in the morning that starts around,
Starting point is 00:11:48 around Lamar clock, Lamar 30, right? So I show up to this meeting and Amin's not here, but he never really is here for that meeting. Amin shows up for kickoff. He is right there. He runs onto the field. He's like 850, comes walking in, what's up everybody?
Starting point is 00:12:06 Yeah, and so. Booby miles, he booby miles is it. I wasn't concerned, but now I'm starting to get a little concerned. So sitting at text, I think I would like to, can we get Jeremy back in the room at some point, because he's out there, because I found another story pretty interesting this weekend.
Starting point is 00:12:23 There's a couple things that I wanted to, or not this weekend, this morning a couple things that I wanted to, or not this weekend, this morning. A couple things I wanna talk about. I wanna talk a little bit about the basketball game last night because I like the Heat, man. They lost, but Kaleo where? You like the Heat, huh?
Starting point is 00:12:35 Yeah, I like them. I like them. There it is. I like them. But also, I put Jeremy on the case because there was a ridiculous headline this morning for Lamar Jackson is trying to sue for the number eight in all its forms.
Starting point is 00:12:50 And I was like, this can't be right. So I asked Jeremy if he had a second to go ahead and read through the case to make sure that we aren't mischaracterizing what Lamar Jackson was doing. Because everyone was taking a shot at my man Lamar this morning. Like, this is ridiculous. He trying to take eight from Dale Earnhardt and um Troy Aikman Lamar Jackson is a monster right and so I just wanted to make sure that Jeremy was here to understand all the details of the case because I didn't
Starting point is 00:13:16 have time to read the entire case because I was busy worrying about a mean we're actually laughing about it please be all right I mean this would this would all be terrible if something actually wrong with him. I'm just telling you what I mean. I don't feel good about Amin's whereabouts. I feel like Amin, of all people, would be good with this type of bit though on the front end.
Starting point is 00:13:33 We don't know anything yet. Like, hold on, hold on, hold on. We don't know anything yet. Hold on, hold on, Chris. If something bad happened, we're unaware. You know whose judgment I don't trust. You're trying to make me feel better by saying Amin would be good with it.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Right, that's true. He would, he would. He would though, he would get the bit. whose judgment I don't trust. You're trying to make me feel better by saying Amin would be good with you. That's true, he would, he would. He would though, he would get the bit. You or did you hear some of the jokes that was fired off yesterday? We would be able to cash in on that MJ bet though. Yeah, for sure. You talked about his funeral.
Starting point is 00:13:58 We do want closure on that one. Yeah, I think we all, it's very open ended and our audience is like, we wanna get this. Is Cole on tour? Get to the bottom. Yeah. You know how this ends, right? Is like whenever he shows up,
Starting point is 00:14:09 he's just gonna say this was theater of the mind and he did this on purpose. Oh, for sure. To prove a point. Like he will not take accountability for this not waking up. I just got a little concerned because I just, he's very regular in this shit chat we have. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Like on days he's not here, around eight o'clock, before nine o'clock, like he generally is on the toilet. And he hasn't reported in there either today. So we gotta smell under the door? Smell under the door? I'm half worried. All right, we're gonna move on. I'm half still committed to this bit
Starting point is 00:14:39 and half genuinely worried. Yeah, we're gonna move on. This is the bit? I feel like it's less funny. It's getting less and less funny. As the minutes go by. As the minutes go by, because I expected him to fumble up in here like two minutes later. Like three minutes in it, like rushing. Yeah, we'd laugh at him, and he'd
Starting point is 00:14:51 say, I did it on purpose, guys. And we'd be like, all right, whatever. I mean, all right, so we'll get off that bit for now. Now the suits seem a little effed up in the famous Step Brothers quote. And they were funny at first, but now it's, OK. So Jeremy, I think you have a point. Jeremy up in the famous Step Brothers quote. And they were funny at first, but now it's, okay. So Jeremy, I think you have some information. I would like-
Starting point is 00:15:11 Jeremy, talk heat while we're all sad. I'm gonna defend Lamar no matter what you say, but I'll let you go ahead and give us some information. To be clear, it's gonna be really hard to convince this room on this day that whatever Lamar is doing, you want me to side with Dale Earnhardt. Why are you setting me up to defend Dale Earnhardt?
Starting point is 00:15:27 Why is Dale Earnhardt the first one we go to? I'm confused by that. What do you mean? The first one? That answers your question. I didn't know Dale Earnhardt was number eight. Is he number eight? Oh, wow. Junior. But then he was like 88. Well, this is an interesting part of this story actually.
Starting point is 00:15:47 So what's happening here is Lamar Jackson is challenging Dale Earnhardt's trademark of the number eight, but not specifically the number eight that was on his car in the years where he was driving the number eight. So Lamar challenged Troy Aikman last year for E-I-G-H-T in all capital letters, the specific trademark of that font size of the word eight. This case is a slanted eight that is not in the style of what was on Earnhardt's car.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Now Earnhardt on his car, that was only while he was working for Dale Earnhardt, Incorporated, or DEI. Now, as DEI has crumbled around him, the trademark eventually lapsed. And this is just the truth. DEI, Dale Earnhardt, Incorporated, no longer exists. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. did not get along with Theresa Earnhardt, Incorporated, no longer exists. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. did not get along with Teresa Earnhardt who took over upon Dale Earnhardt, Sr.'s death.
Starting point is 00:16:51 She let the trademark expire for his number eight, and so he is now refiling to try to get that number eight back, Lamar is upset not with the one that was on his car, but a different slanted number eight. Oh, okay. So as I understood it, so that makes sense. I assume that we say Lamar Jackson because that's the name that we know
Starting point is 00:17:12 and that he is the one on the case, but my guess is Lamar Jackson isn't keeping an eye on the trademark office and like trying to jump on all these things. Like his team, I would assume, right? No, I wouldn't assume. Says his attorney's filed a notice of opposition on Wednesday. I like his business acumen. I Excuse me. Geez. Yeah, you can I was so much about this. I get yeah guys my heart. He's alive
Starting point is 00:17:41 Remember to flush I just got a yep heading down text from him. All right. Wrong chat. This is exciting. I feel great. Thank God Amin isn't dead. Number one, no way in hell Michael Jordan was going to his team. Now we'll never know.
Starting point is 00:17:55 I don't know. That's for the... We'll have to find out later. Like Amin dies, but maybe we meet him. I sent a bunch of texts in that 15 minutes. Most of them were people connected to Michael Jordan. And it said, Amin Elhassan died. Do you think Mike is gonna come to the funeral?
Starting point is 00:18:11 They said, are you serious? I said, yes. They said TBD. So that doesn't sound like it's a confirmation. But TBD, I mean, it's not bad. It's better than no. I think they were like, we're gonna ask. I think when you hit them with the, are you you serious that's kind of what you think. Yeah. Folks I want to talk to you about Game Time.

This is a dangerous game. I don't want to play this game. He was saying, man, I could do such a great Kendrick Berkley. Oh, I don't want to play this game. He's like, man, I can talk to you. This is who we're going to trust. I mean, you do it. Let's let Amin do it, I think.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Stugats. I think you could do it, Chris, because you did a great Charles Barkley. You're one for one there. Did no one just hear the segment we just did with Amin? We cannot be taking judgment. Is that the counsel from the local drunk on whether or not you should do the impersonation of a black man stumbling over his words? Like, you don't see the bad jargon in that.
Starting point is 00:22:26 There was. Mozi Moody, Moody Moses, Moses Moody. Don't, don't, don't, you need that. It sounds worse. Chris, be careful man. We gotta, like we cannot do this. It's too close to the line. This is where the line is.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Something legitimately funny can't be funny because we're scared our ginger's gonna do something racist by accident. Carry the hell on Dan. Rachel. Dan, the line is where we feel alive though. This is the Dan LeVatar Show with the Stukats. I have a question for you guys. What's the protocol on autographs at a funeral? Like you think no, right?
Starting point is 00:23:03 Hard no. Yeah, I would think no. You think no, right? You know no. No? Well, hold on a second at a funeral. Like you think no, right? Hard no. You think no, right? You know no. No, well, hold on a second. But continue. But it's not always no, because there is that book where people check in and they sign the guest book and they say like,
Starting point is 00:23:16 you know, I love your family, whatever, right? Dude, you can have like Michael Jordan signing that, whatever, what if someone goes and they decide, I'm gonna pull a fast one, I'll take that book out decide, I'm gonna pull a fast one up, take that book out there, I'm gonna put an NBA basketball and just be like, Amin was so deep in NBA circles that he really just wanted everyone to sign the basketball. And you could get a basketball signed
Starting point is 00:23:36 by some of the NBA's luminaries that chose to attend Amin's funeral. But it's gonna be a bunch of other people on it too. Like his uncle. Yeah, no, well that's why, no, that's why. What players are we talking about? Well, whoever would actually show up to a mean, so probably like, I don't know, Mike Bibby or something.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Bibby, maybe, if Sacramento State is on maybe a home stretch. Yeah, like, no, I mean, look, let's be real. Not Michael Jordan, right? But you also have to have someone assigned to like security detail for the ball, so that like a means great aunt or whatever Isn't going to sign you're like, oh, no, no, no, let's move over here. Let's go get some like finger food or something
Starting point is 00:24:11 We don't want you signing that. Yeah, exactly photograph protocol at a funeral can you like Go next to Michael Jordan less than autographs. I think taking photos is worse than autographs. You do. Worse? At a funeral? Where you're gonna do like throw up the peace sign, two up, two down next to the dead body? Right next to the tombstone.
Starting point is 00:24:31 He's a candid for sure. He slipped that in on you, man. He slipped that in on you. Two ups, two downs. You can, I mean, I've been to funerals where people take pictures because it's like, it's one of the rare times when you get a whole bunch of family together.
Starting point is 00:24:44 So people take pictures. But can you smile next to MJ in a funeral picture? He's not gonna smile. I don't think you want to smile. You don't? No because you want it you want it to feel like you and MJ are connected in that way so it can't be like he's sad you're in the back like I get to meet him it's got to be like just me and my boys. So you gotta to get a candid. You got to get a candid, right? Yeah. You got to get a candid where you got to match his energy. If he's laughing, you laugh. Well, he's never laughing. He's crying, you cry. If he's sad, if he's confused, like,
Starting point is 00:25:16 wait, that's a mean El Hatsen? Then you are confused. Cause you're like, I thought this was Kaleid El Amin. Yes. I got confused. What? All you gotid El Amin. I got confused. What? All you got to do is slip the photograph of a photograph for a 20 and be like, look, the moment MJ gets up to the casket to look over, you get to the other side.
Starting point is 00:25:33 I'm going to stand next to him, and we're both going to look into the casket, and you take the picture from the front. So you're kind of looking over with MJ like, damn, I can't believe it. But you and MJ next to each other, and then you kind of do one of the two. But hold on a second. Are you just taking from behind? Because you're going to need someone to go on and then you kind of threw him. But hold on a second, this is taking from behind
Starting point is 00:25:47 because you're gonna need someone to go on the other side of the casket. Yeah, the other side, that's why I slipped the guy at 20. But somehow you almost need the camera inside the casket, right? Like you need to set up a selfie camera on Amin's body. Like a GoPro, we put a GoPro on Amin.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Because if it's open casket, it's the wrong angle. Because if you're over it, it's looking down. You gotta get it inside going up, looking at him. You don't wanna put the meta glasses on a meme. Ooh, well then it's sideways. Yeah. But then you're looking up, Orient. We can reorient.
Starting point is 00:26:12 All right. You can set the meta glasses on his chest looking up at you. I have a friend from high school who I went to his house, I'll never forget this, and his family took pictures of people in open caskets, dead family members, and had just a wall of Polaroids of all the people, and I was like...
Starting point is 00:26:35 I don't wanna talk bad about the friend, but... A dead wall? Yeah, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That sounds like serial killer vibes. It was wild, I mean, it wasn't his choice, he was a kid in high school, like it was his family, something that they did. Hold on, hold on. on that sounds like they're in this hold on a second I'm wondering how do you die wait?
Starting point is 00:26:50 They had like a wall of just casket pictures of their family members Like you're in a pizzeria and they've like a famous person walks in they put the picture on the wall Where's the dead wall like what part of the house was it in? I was just like in a hallway like you come it wasn't a big house So you like come in and then there's like a hallway to get to the back rooms. Of casket pictures. Yeah, it's a hallway of caskets. And Polaroids.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Caskets and Polaroids. Polaroids stuck to the wall, it's a piece of tape. Yeah, it was real weird, they had like machetes with blood still on them in this room, it was dark. We weren't supposed to be in the cellar, and they said don't open the fridge no matter what you do. But it was do but it was cool it was just vibes man me and my boy. Were they like embalmers or something?
Starting point is 00:27:28 They're like showing off their work? Nope just family. Were they white guys? Nope. Interesting. Yep second generation. Did they do like body like makeup? Like you know people that it wasn't like a portfolio no of like man look at these caskets we designed I mean that that doesn't make it much less weird no it was just like remembering remembering family members we put them up there in this moment in their dead state yeah speaking of dead state have you seen those things where the people have the the dead people but they're at the club and the dead persons they're like holding a Heineken have you seen that before we can have Bernie's type yes the people have the dead people, but they're at the club and the dead person's there holding a Heineken?
Starting point is 00:28:05 Have you seen that before? Weekend at Bernie's type? Yes, but people have a celebration where the dead people. I thought it was just one time. No, I've seen it. I've seen it. I've seen it. So I remember seeing a story where it was one time where
Starting point is 00:28:17 a guy wanted to have a party. He made it clear when he died he wanted them to celebrate at the club. Like one of those New Orleans funerals? No, no, no, no, no, no. Like him being there. Like the guy had a blunt and a Heineken. And I was like, isn't this guy dead?
Starting point is 00:28:30 They had like a party at a club. I remember one time, you said it like it's a thing. I don't know, maybe it's a thing, but I remember seeing the story, and there was a picture of a guy on a stage at a casket. Yeah, I don't hate it, I guess. Where would you want your funeral to be at? Like if you could really be like, yo, take me out one more time doing this, what would you,
Starting point is 00:28:50 because you're not going to have like the confidence to actually do it. You should. I'm not. No, I'm the wrong person to ask for this. Maybe I could think about it, but I've made it clear to everybody in my life. I don't care. Like I don't really care. You don't care? I'm gone, right? Yeah, my life, I don't care. Like I don't really care. You don't care? I'm gone, right?
Starting point is 00:29:06 Yeah, no, you won't care. I mean, it's up to you. If y'all wanna do something, knock yourself out. But like, I'ma be gone. Facts. I don't think that I'm not gonna, I don't know, maybe I'll be looking down, pissed off at them because they decided to dress me up in a football uniform
Starting point is 00:29:20 and put me on the field. I was like, hey, Domin always want to get one last snap. With cleats on or no? Oh yeah, you got to go full deal. Why would you stop at cleats? People aren't looking at your feet in the open casket. Dirt in the casket, just a little grass. Hand in the dirt, dry pads.
Starting point is 00:29:37 This is how we'll always remember you. What would you want? I like the club idea. I do, because I want everyone to have a good time while I'm there. I would like my funeral to be a roast. And you gotta make sure you roast everyone in the room too. Like it's not, like yes, roast me,
Starting point is 00:29:57 but also like make sure like, you know, everybody gets it. They're embalming Amin right now. Look at him, getting that makeup right. At least we know that he's not gonna have a hangover. You don't get to put on makeup when you're late, man. You gotta, no, you gotta come in what you got, Amin. You don't get to, he was getting a haircut. I know, you gotta-
Starting point is 00:30:19 Why does he look so fresh? I mean, I think the idea is anytime I've ever, like I'm not late often, but anytime I've ever been late, I start breathing hard. There's gotta be a scurry to it. Yeah, like I come in and even if I'm not out of breath, I start breathing hard to demonstrate to them,
Starting point is 00:30:34 I feel like it's a show of respect. It's like, I'm sorry, man. I tried. Like no excuses. I ran three blocks. No excuses, I'm accountable, this is on me. This is on me. But I would like them to know that like. I'm accountable. This is on me.
Starting point is 00:30:45 This is on me. But I would like them to know that like, I ain't wanted to be like this. I left my car on the freeway and I ran here. When you're in football, there's no scarier moment for anyone who doesn't know this. Okay, when you play professional football and you're late or running late.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Not for the Dolphins. Tony knows. No, there is no scarier thing in my life ever to this day than being 20 seconds on pace for being 20 seconds late. You genuinely are like, do I wreck my car? Yeah, it's crossed your mind. You're not at the top of the roster? I definitely would have considered in the past,
Starting point is 00:31:27 and the one thing for me, when I was young enough to be really upset about this, I lived less than a mile from the facility. So it was hard for me to come up with some sort of lie. You gotta wreck, bro. You either gotta slash your tire on the highway, like poke it, or you just gotta, just a little light into a pole. You just gotta skin just a little light into a pole, just a little.
Starting point is 00:31:46 You just gotta skin it a little bit. You guys think I'm joking, I'm being so serious. I can promise you, there's been multiple players. He said the applicable part though, especially if you're what? If you're young enough that it matters. No, no, no, you said something else, especially if you're not at the top of the roster.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Yeah, right. All right, so let's not, you don't get to come in and not address the elephant in the room. No, no, I think he's trying to make a point. I am the elephant in the room. Oh. I don't address it. Okay, so now I know what happened.
Starting point is 00:32:15 You got a haircut this morning and you can't control the barber's time. No, no, no, I've been here. I know you can make up whatever lie you're about to tell me. I know a fresh haircut when I see one, and that is the only situation when you're in the chair, you can't just be like, yo, I gotta go. Stop right now.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Middletown. Like, nah, you got a haircut this morning. 40 under 40. Y'all talking about that yet? Oh yeah, we, day one. Oh. Day one. So, this is an interesting thing. When I turned 40, like literally like three weeks
Starting point is 00:32:47 before I turned 40, they asked me to host the 40 Under 40. So it was like that was as close as I got. So I said, fine, cool. Everyone's like, yo, this is easy. It's fishing a barrel. There are no losers. It's not like someone got nominated and didn't win, everybody wins.
Starting point is 00:33:03 So everyone's like in a good mood. I said, cool, I'll do it. Me and Kerry champion, we're gonna host it. I said, I had all these jokes written out, it's perfect. I go there and I'm working my best material. I mean, stuff I wrote, silent. Everything, everyone's just staring at me like, what's going on, what's happening here?
Starting point is 00:33:21 How am I bombing this hard? So in the first intermission, I grabbed the guy, the organizer guy, who said, what happened, man? He said it was fish in a barrel. He said, they changed the format this year. In years past, everyone was allowed to go out into the lobby, get a drink, keep coming back in and out. It was a dry.
Starting point is 00:33:40 And everyone was like, F all of this. They just kept staring at me with the anger of sobriety and I was like, oh man. And you got this guy telling jokes. Yeah, like he thinks he's funny. Now that I hear the octaves that you're talking with, you were asleep. No, I wasn't.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Okay, I wanna change my haircut. You got a haircut last night before you kicked it. Number one. Your body clock did not help you out this morning. I wasn't asleep. I can hear it in your voice. No, my voice is my voice. I have a deep voice. I can't help it. I'm like Dominique What the hell is going on what you are late how we talk about 40 under 40 we're talking about shape ups
Starting point is 00:34:16 We talk about the octaves in your voice. It's called a deflection Like we're all waiting it's's called. We even got worried. We thought you was dead. I mean, we genuinely thought you died. From the man who yesterday told us that his body, I'm built different is what you said. I am. And you called yourself Iron Man.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Here's the clip. I am. Someone who doesn't get hangovers, who doesn't sleep a lot, who doesn't eat coffee. Yeah. I think that, I don't know, check, check, check. One day later, you show up late, and you think that we wanna talk about the time where you told some bad jokes? I didn't know, check, check, check. One day later, you show up late, and you think that we wanna talk about the time
Starting point is 00:34:47 when you told some bad jokes? We wanna know what happened. I didn't tell bad jokes, hold on, now hold on. Now you know what? You know what? You're gonna disrespect me anyway, you're not gonna disrespect me about my jokes. Okay, well.
Starting point is 00:34:57 This shit's on fire. I'm sorry, the time when hundreds of people in the audience Decided that what you were saying wasn't funny. Yeah, but the jokes were obviously funny. It was a format change, man. It's just the time when you got undercut in the audience. Decided that what you were saying wasn't funny. But the jokes were obviously funny. It was a format change. It's just the time when you got undercut by the format. So what'd you do? They were angry about being sober.
Starting point is 00:35:13 I can't help that. So what'd you do last night or this morning? Like why? What'd I do last night? I'm glad you brought that up. There we go. Oh man, this guy, either he's completely naive or the greatest alley-oop man of all time.
Starting point is 00:35:24 You know what I did last night, Hawk? I went to the Heat Game. Yep, check. Hey, was I the only person here at the Heat Game or did someone else go? Anyone else? Did you go to the Heat Game? No, sir.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Jeremy. Not I. John Moran, I think. Yeah, John Moran, he was awesome. He was, incredible. Yeah. Chris, did you go? I did not go, Dominique went. Oh, Dominique went, did he? Who was it not go, Dominique went. Oh, Dominique went, did he?
Starting point is 00:35:45 Oh, well, Dominique, surely you guys were sitting like, I mean, it's a big game, it was a TNT game. Were you sitting upstairs? No, sir. Where were you sitting? You're deflecting! Behind, behind the group of friends. Also, he has durag lines on his forehead.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Oh, that man was so sweet. As a black man, I can see that he was knocked out. That man was so sweet. That ding from Chris woke my boy up. Gotta keep those waves in your head. The durag came off probably about 10 minutes. Okay. That part I'm not gonna look at.
Starting point is 00:36:11 I'm just doing a little black man detective work. Don't mind me. Keep talking. He's signing you up. I'm gonna crack this code. I see Cognac in your eyes. There was another black man. That is Cognac Yellow.
Starting point is 00:36:22 There was another black man doing detective work last night. And it was Amin Elhassan, finding out that, hey Domino, you go by yourself. Clearly, you only have the one ticket. They hand it to you, and you're like, I can't bring anyone else, I gotta bring, I gotta go by myself. Nope, I have four tickets.
Starting point is 00:36:34 Oh, you have four, wow. Anyone else that I know you might have gone with? Jason Goff, the man who inspired my crochet shirt today. It's a nice shirt, man. Thank you, Jason Goff was killing me all weekend in knits, I was like, let me go get it. Let me go get a fresh knit. I was a fan of his knits. Four tickets behind the bench.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Nary, not even a like, hey, I mean, we don't have an extra one, but we'll be at the game. We'll see you there, nothing. Just like, hey, all right, all right, guys, we gotta go, I gotta go to the gym. I gotta go work out. Hey guys, I apologize for a meme being late today. It's because I didn't invite him to sit next to me
Starting point is 00:37:05 and Jason Golf. I take full responsibility. Hand up accountability plays. There was an empty seat, wasn't there? Black accountability. Two empty seats. They had extras. By the way, this is a night after,
Starting point is 00:37:16 hey guys, let's all meet up and like, we're trying, we went to dinner. I'm like, well, first of all, thank you. You're like, I'll show you an empty seat. Thank you for the invite to dinner. Tomorrow morning, I'll show you an empty seat. Thank you for the invite to dinner. Tomorrow morning, I'll show you an empty seat. You set up a bed. So that's what this is.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Payback. You decided to prove a point by showing me an empty seat. You know what I didn't do? I wasn't clamoring. Like, where's everybody? I just looked at him. And then he said, oh man. And I said, he said, what are you doing here?
Starting point is 00:37:42 I was like, I'm working. Some of us work for a living. It's exactly what I said to him. So now I said, he said, what are you doing here? I was like, I'm working. Some of us work for a living, is exactly what I said to him. So, now I'm gonna try to demonstrate for you how someone speaks directly to the accusations. I'm not gonna go about some roundabout story about when I hosted the show. I'm not gonna deflect and tell a hawk about how-
Starting point is 00:37:58 Sound like you're deflected right now, brother. No, no, no. Sound like right now you're going on a deflection. I'm not gonna tell everyone about how a hawk made me do it. None of that happened. I'll tell you exactly what happened. How did Hawk make me do it? Jason Goff bought four tickets. One of his friends come from in town
Starting point is 00:38:10 and two for me and Charlie. He said, you wanna go to the game? I said, yeah. We get to the game, we see you. I say, what are you doing here? You say working. So it sounds like to me, you had to work. You couldn't come anyway.
Starting point is 00:38:23 And that's what happened. Jason Goff's friend came late. Charlie decided to go hang out with his ex-girlfriend. You say working so it sounds like to me you had to work you couldn't come anyway And that's what happened Jason Goss friend came late Charlie decided to go hang out with his in-laws and so we had two extra seats and they weren't my tickets I didn't pay for them golf pay for them for that's what happened for the second time this week I'm gonna make an R. Kelly reference Just a judgment you wanted me to I didn't know I had a Got to my end like this If I had a dollar it was yours that's you know what that's a spirit even if I said you know what?
Starting point is 00:38:51 I don't need your dollar. You can keep it. Why were you late? Hey bill, why do you think he's late? We're gonna go around the room who's bill yeah, we get serious when you get serious you drop the why drop the why? Who's Bill? Yeah, we getting serious. When you get serious, you drop the Y. That's fine, we're good. You drop the Y. Drop the Y, you get serious.
Starting point is 00:39:05 This is the attorney. Can I call you Andy? This is the attorney Bill. I'm gonna call you Andy from now on. Call me Andy. The problem is, we got two hours to show, so you can try to burn out this minute all you want. Yeah, we gonna get to the bottom of this.
Starting point is 00:39:15 But we gonna get to this. I think the question is, we all know, he doesn't appear to be hungover. So what he claimed about not getting hungover, I believe. But it does seem like your body clock that you said you don't need an alarm may have failed you this morning. Is that true?
Starting point is 00:39:29 No. What? So you just woke up on time and was like. Is it still set to Arizona time, your body clock then? No. You took too long in the shower? No. He put his durag on so he couldn't have been that.
Starting point is 00:39:40 The durag was on last night. Drunk, you know what I'm saying? It wasn't so drunk to cause a sleeping. That's a fair point. It's like I put my durag on. Now he could have been on last night. Drunk, you know what I'm saying? It wasn't so drunk to cause a sleeping. Yeah, that's a fair point. It's like, I put my durag on. Now, he could have been on muscle memory. I've been there as well, right? Wait, explain that one.
Starting point is 00:39:52 No, I'm not. I will not let you keep kicking it back to me. He wakes up, he's like, I don't even remember putting this thing on. Yeah, no, it's like you do it every night. Who put my durag on for me? You know, it's just. That's happened to you?
Starting point is 00:40:04 You woke up, you're like, what is this on my head? Have you seen his hair? Yeah, the Hawk don't play games by his hair. He got like a two day old shape up and was like, I gotta wear a hat, cause I can't show this new growth. The young people will remember this, in the 90s, we were convinced that Steve Harvey had his shape up done with a laser.
Starting point is 00:40:22 That's a sponge, man. So it feels like he's lying right about the Obviously supposed to be there obviously is one of the I mean like I don't think you would just wake up on time and be like, you know I'll just show up at night because I wake up and then I do think I have a process. Yeah That's a no shit. I checked the shit chat. That's true It's still going so that's an issue. We're gonna lose you at some point. Why didn't you just say you got a haircut?
Starting point is 00:40:48 You had an easy out. He should've just jumped into it. Yeah, oh you're right. And then I started, I got a haircut. You know why Bill? I started hearing him more, and then I was like, that wasn't it. And then the durag.
Starting point is 00:40:57 You know why Bill? You can't get a haircut with a durag on. You're a hell of an investigator. You know what bobbers that work at 7 AM? That's the same thing. I mean. I got a haircut this morning at 6 a.m Roy, so Did I pay triple I did but they will do it for the right price
