Starting point is 00:01:17 New York, New York, please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age. Marenav. Now streaming on Paramount Plus, it's the epic return of mayor of Kingstown. You know who I am. Starring Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner. I swear in these walls. Emmy Award winner Edie Falco. You're an ex-con who ran this place for years.
Starting point is 00:01:38 And now, now you can't do that. And BAFTA Award winner Lenny James. You're about to have a plague of outsiders descend on your town. Let me tell you this. It's got to be consequences. Mayor of Kingstown, new season now streaming on Paramount Plus. I'm already not feeling confident about the amount of chaos we have today with a bunch of Draft Kings people in town, with a bunch of winners of contests in town, with Zazlo in a race car
Starting point is 00:02:14 outfit having all sorts of trouble with his headphones because he can't get his headphones in and around the race car helmet that he's wearing. We've got yammering Dave Damasek in town as part of our watch party proceedings, Juju's in town Amin is cross-eyed and wearing FBI gear. Jeremy hasn't stopped writing Trey Yassavage stats on a board since 11 p.m. last night. And now Pablo is reporting something and the Clippers have just stopped answering his calls. Like the Clippers will now not respond to Pablo as he's kind of ensnared Tyron Lou in the middle of all this stuff. A name we had not seen. Insnared is strong. Insnared as strong, Dan. Okay, so what's the verb you would use?
Starting point is 00:02:56 would use adjacent. Like, oh, there's Tyrone Lou. He's adjacent to what's going on, but he's not in Snair. I don't think it's not a verb. I need a verb for what it is that Pablo has done to Tyron Lou. You're looking for snitch, Dan. Snitch. We agree this sound is worthy of this, though. I don't think so. I'm not sure, because this is only for breaking news that no one else has that's going to make headlines all over the sports globe. And this one is too entangled to have reverberations that are going to be covered or aggregated, right? Shouldn't this sound, I mean, you were a part of this episode for Pablo. Pablo will be on with us later.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Shouldn't this sound be reserved exclusively for something that's going to create spinning newspaper headlines? Pablo's newsbreaking has torpedoed the sports world. You're going to stay in character as Cash Patel Lof show? It's going to be a long one if he does that. Dan Levitard, your days of gross tonnage have come to an end. No, they have not. I'm going to eat so many nachos at Flanagan's tonight.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Zazzo, were you trying to say something into your helmet? Oh, did that not come up? Are you not hearing me? Who are you trying to talk to? I'm trying to communicate with my pit crew. And you can bet on it. Damashek, welcome. It is nice to see you in studio for the first time.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Football America is our hit football show at Metal Arc Media. And if you want, more Steelers information that you can possibly handle, you should come to the watch party tonight and get cornered by Dave Damashek. Yeah, we're going to talk about number 87 and how black and gold doesn't just belong to Sidney Crosby. We'll get into Ouija Thompson, the great. Six-foot-seven University of Florida-wide receiver who shined with Bubby Brister and the rest of them back there, like I say, in the mid-the-late 80s. If you talk to Dave Damagek tonight, you better steal yourself for a boring conversation. Say Valhalla.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Valhalla. favorite winter sport The summertime is over So let's head out to the Court time for the tip Off give me fast breaks on the attack Will you shoot a three or take it
Starting point is 00:05:36 to the rack Basketball is backjack It's a dream shake Down in the Post Or a killer cross You love the most When the offense tries to run and gun Is it man-to-man or boxing one?
Starting point is 00:06:03 It's big plays and talking smack. That's how you know that basketball in back jack. Let me hear you say. Basketball. Basketball. Basketball is back. Jacks. 360 dunks and pick-and-pick-and-pick.
Starting point is 00:06:22 And we're going to watch it every day Till they raise the larry-ho Heart files and hook shots A dagger three and hacka-shacks If you say this game's the best I'll say the gag Basketball is back jack Basketball is back jacks
Starting point is 00:06:44 Basketball is back jacks Basketball is back Basketball is back, Jack. The basketball open, huh? And Thursday night football with the Dolphins and Lamar Jackson, you guys are going basketball open, and Zaz has declared today, and this is very early in the season,
Starting point is 00:07:15 a heat buy-in game. I have no idea what that means. I don't think I've ever heard. five games into a season. That's 82 games. Very important night tonight for the Miami Heat. This is what we call a buy-in game, Dan, because if the Heat win this one
Starting point is 00:07:33 and they wind up giving the Spurs, you know about Wembenyama? If they wind up giving the Spurs their first loss of the season, that's a buy-in game. Then you could take them serious. That's a buy-in game. You've mentioned that a couple of times now, though. I'm not totally sure what it means.
Starting point is 00:07:48 That means if they beat Wemba-Nyama today on the road, you're going to make them champion. championship contender worthy? Now I'm buying in. I'm buying in. But you're a homer. You always buy in on the heat. No, that's not true. I went into this season very skeptical. And I told you, I told you as recently as yesterday, I'm very
Starting point is 00:08:04 confused about what I'm watching with the heat. But tonight, if you tag the spurs with their first... If you take that ass against Wembenyama, then I'm buying in. Narrow ass. It is a narrow ass. Narrow ass. Dan, have you seen that ass? It's one of the narrowest asses to ever
Starting point is 00:08:20 dominate basketball, I would say. Yeah, Wembenyama, I mean, your thoughts here, heat against Spurs tonight? You believe this is a game worthy of buy-in status as declared by Zads? If the Miami Heat defeat the Victor Wembe Gama, San Antonio Spurs, I'll turn the heat up on their championship aspirations. I don't think I can do this with you all show. You can bet on it. It's true.
Starting point is 00:08:50 I'm already tired of this. character and we are like two minutes into the show i i can't handle you being cash patel all show and speaking that slowly on a show that pin ball's like this his his eyes look like cash patel he's like the eyes there go that's right there la costro nostra if we're doing thin asses i nominate minute bowl i mean it's a fine nomination but it's not a dominant basketball player like we're we're talking i i already famous i already he's hear people talking, like if non-injury division, that this is going to be an all-time immortal player top five that we've ever seen. And it would be, number one, all-time
Starting point is 00:09:34 narrow ass, excellent. When it comes to narrow asses, Wembenyama is the victor. Wow. And you can bet on that. That's good. Tashon Prince. Again. Good narrow ass, though. Excellent. Yes. We're basically going for other ones, Dan. I can't beat one. Slim Reaper. I mean, six foot 10 Kevin Durant. What are we doing? Oh, that's a good one, actually. Good job, Dave.
Starting point is 00:10:00 If Tashon is the prince of narrow asses, then Kevin Durant is the king. And you can bet on that. Reggie Miller? Yes, we're just doing thin players. Thank you. You got him, Beno. All right, let's find a fat guy with the narrow ass. I'm on it. Hoyas' icon,
Starting point is 00:10:18 Reggie Williams. There you go. No, there you don't go. And I'm sorry to do this to you so early in the proceedings, Dave. But let me see if I can find it. Minor penalty, two minutes, dumpster juice takes. Hold on. We got somebody for this, Dana. Hold on. Wait a minute. Like Ty Ron Lou, I've been ensnared. Wow.
Starting point is 00:10:46 I've been told by sources after Tony got his verb and his verb. his verbiage wrong in the shadow show that on mystery crate you were outed as someone who doesn't know what a verb is that that was false first off whoever who i don't even remember that episode to be honest dan whoever remember that whoever was saying that didn't understand what i was trying to say and they didn't get it again i don't remember it was so insignificant to me i was just so on to the next thing i don't even remember who said it or why they said it but they were wrong it's okay have any of you uh checked out the pablo tory finds out episode because It, again, contacts the clippers, and the clippers do not respond this time.
Starting point is 00:11:30 And this information about Tyron Lude, Tony's got it right, when he says he's just sort of adjacent to the poker part of this story. But the poker part of the story and the game fixing part of this story are more enmeshed than people think because of a character that Pablo spends the whole show basically telling the story through, which is central casting for a alleged dirty, gambler, shady, snitch, informant, ringleader, Sugar Shane, not Mosley. His name is, let me see. Henan. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Sugar Shane Henan is the name. And Amin is in the middle of this episode. And I'm hoping I could get him to break character in order to tell us more about what Pablo Tori is reporting. Thank you for taking off your FBI cap. Yeah. Hold on. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:12:26 There you go. All right. Hey, guys, it means here. There we go. What I miss. You're updating the Pablo Tori finds out episode and what verb you would use to associate Tyron Lou to this story because his name was thrown into the mix 20 minutes in. Kevin Garnett's was too, even less adjacent than Tyron Lou, just sort of in the vicinity near the whiff,
Starting point is 00:12:47 but not near any of the bad sewage stuff. I think part of what turns up the heat is because of Pablo's other ongoing investigation into the Clippers. If Tyron Loo worked for the Milwaukee Bucks or for the San Antonio Spurs and his name came up here, I think it would be, you'd have the same feeling that you did about Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce and all those other guys who have played in some of these card games. But I think it's because he's with the Clippers and we know how much work we've done about the Clippers in the last couple of months. It feels like the heat has ratcheted up a number of notches. Kevin Garnett, thin ass. That's a good one.
Starting point is 00:13:20 from you. I mean, he's also skinny. How's that one good? And the other ones weren't. They're all skinny. Like, I'm naming all skinny guys. You know when you know and KG's a good thing. I'm gonna find a fat guy with a thin ass. Thin ass is on to the compo. He's back. I don't have much of an ass. That is true. I'm fairly assless. Me too. I'm a big guy. My wife always says no ass. I've always, I've always, I've always, I've always, she does say cute little butt. She always says her. What about you says? She says cute little butt, which means like that's what it means uh no i get sixth grade ass but uh yeah but you uh when you say your wife always says no ass that has a double meaning uh that takes me to a story that zaz had last night because jeremy i should talk about the world series i should talk about the fact that uh tray yesavage did something that only he has done before according to optistats there have been
Starting point is 00:14:16 two games in major league postseason history where a pitcher has struck out 10 plus struck out five consecutive batters, struck out 50% of the batters he's face, allowed fewer than five base runners, and earned the win. Both times, it was Trey Yassavage, who was doing things that like only Sandy Kofax has done in a World Series. And the first four Dodger hitters, that's a top three offense that Dodgers have, top three in all of baseball. The first four Dodger hitters last night, that's Otani, Mukhi Betts, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith. They went a combined one for 15 with eight strikeouts, eight strikeouts. And Jeremy has spent the entire evening. He has only made $57,204 this season.
Starting point is 00:14:59 There are only two pitchers ever with 10 plus... Keep fading him in and out. He's been doing that since last night, just nonstop talking about what Trey Yassavage did. So we should be talking about that baseball game. Dan, Jeremy Tashay's pitch clock has run out. And you can bet on it. Well, no, pitch clock is...
Starting point is 00:15:19 16 strikeouts in that. regular season. There are only four pitchers ever with 11 strikeouts in a World Series game in the pitch clock is later in the show. It hasn't run out. You've got to work on the impersonation having some range. He's got to make at least some sense if he's going to be stiff and cross-eyed. Pitch clock is later in the show. It hasn't run out. It's going to be later in today's show. Why would you say that it's run out? I guess I need to. Three single Dodger. And there are only three pitchers ever who have struck out every single player in a starting lineup. Randy Johnson.
Starting point is 00:15:48 The listeners know what I mean, Dan. And you can bet on that. Zazlo last night couldn't be a part of the live stream. And what is it that you texted Jeremy when he asked you to be a part of his
Starting point is 00:16:04 live stream last night? Yeah, Jeremy, like it was very aggressive. He just, no communication. He just, he texts me a link. Just the link shows up and it says you can join with the next Exclamation point. Like, there was no workup to that.
Starting point is 00:16:20 It was just like here. But you said to him, I'm trying to get laid. Yeah, well, then I wrote back to I go, I'm trying to get laid over here, player. That's a good out. Like, that's a good excuse. Did you? No. Should have joined.
Starting point is 00:16:35 I mean, the emphasis on trying, and it didn't work. I got to work on my game was lacking last night. It was a Wednesday. That's not a sex night. Well, but you see, my wife was in Argentina for like the last 10 days. I'm leaving for the weekend for Jacksonville tomorrow. So I understand like it's Wednesday. Get it in when you can get it in, Dan.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Ironically, hump day, not a sex day. Didn't work last night. So your wife also saying no action to you. I'm with her, though. Wednesdays, who needs that? I think every night is a sex night, Dan, in my book. At Lebitard show, is Wednesday night a sex night? Not in the Zaslo Mansion.
Starting point is 00:17:13 Is Zaz like Ray Romano and everybody loves? Raymond. I've always struck by that show that he has to beg his own wife to bed down with him, as though it's a gift for somebody. There's a lot of things that Dave says and phrases that I don't like. I just want to be honest with him. But I don't think that's a phrase. Bed down with him. Either get down with him or you go to bed with him. I don't think you bed down with him. Trying to bed down tonight, Dan. And you can bet on that. Put it on the pole. at Lebitard show, does anybody use the phrase
Starting point is 00:17:51 to bed down to refer to having sex because it's not something that I've heard at all. Sypowitz in his old cop show, NYPD Blue. NYPD Blue, he once said, did you have sex on that boy?
Starting point is 00:18:06 I always remember that one. Have sex on. He's a good one. Syphilitz. Slim ass for a fat guy. It's a great reference. Remember, that was a huge team. You know, MIPD Blue was the first time ever on network television that there was going to be nudity, so everyone was tuning in, and what was the nudity we got in that episode?
Starting point is 00:18:25 We got Sipowitz's ass in the shower. That was it. That's called it, Tease, Dan. ABC's television lineup was blue that night. Put it on the poll, please, at Lebitard Show, because Tony has no idea what we're talking about here. But, Tony, when I tell you that network television created a ruckus throughout America where people were calling their local networks saying that's inappropriate. The first ass, human ass, shown on network television.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Some fat guy? Yes, Dennis Sippewicz. In the shower. No, Andy, Andy Sipowitz. Oh, I'm sorry. Dennis Franz was the actor. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:19:07 That's an excellent correction. We have found an incredible Zez. That was my show. An incredible Zaz wheelhouse, but yes, it was a huge American scandal that on network television, the first ass shown was of a frumpy fat guy. Really? And everybody got upset about that? There was, you know, there was a repressed America reacted with great outrage that that was the ass shown for the first time on network television. I think part of the problem is that Tony doesn't know what Andy Sipowitz looks like. If you saw him, it would, home or home.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Let me take a look. Yeah. Well, yeah, look up, Dennis Franz. Candelaria and himself in the ALDS. So he's the third youngest pitcher, but that's only because he's also the second youngest pitcher to be able to do. And he has this release point. None of you want to talk about the World Series, right? I'm looking at a room full of people here, crowded who have sports opinions.
Starting point is 00:20:00 And I don't believe that any of you want to talk baseball. I do. And I understand that the Jays are a story and a great one. Vlad Guerrero on down. But to me, the big takeaway here is the Dodgers are one loss away from being the Atlanta Braves but worse. Oh, there he is.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Sipowitz. That looks like Stavie in 20 years. It does. Holy God. Great call. That is a great call by Tony. You just told me Stavis. You saw Stavis as. I was like, oh, okay. Bump the Raiders, yo. Or the Ravens. Placo.

I ain't never met nobody in the world that's the hate on blues clothes, bro.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Like, who don't like blues clothes, bro? If you don't like blues clues, you're a loser. Stugats. Look, you get one pop print, that's the first clue. You put it in a notebook. Now what do you do? Blues, clues, blues, clues. Sit on the chair and think about it.
Starting point is 00:23:46 This is the Don Leibatar show with the Sto Gads. Tonight we've got the Ravens and the Dolphins. The Ravens line keeps going up. The Ravens are now at. minus eight tonight. I heard on the way in that in Ravens games and Dolphins games this year, because the defenses
Starting point is 00:24:13 are so bad, 87% of the time the over has come in those games because the defenses are so terrible. And Zaslo's here saying that the more interesting game tonight, this is this has to be regionally. It's more interesting.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Yeah. Because I think the nation wants to see Lamar Jackson come back. Everybody's saying this week, all of a sudden, I'm hearing everyone's saying that your beloved Steelers, Dave, are going to give up, they're going to cough up the division to the Ravens who had it there, who just gave it away to them at the beginning of the season. One 60-minute stretch may define the Steelers season.
Starting point is 00:24:47 The loss at Sincey to decrepit Joe Flacco and company was a grim one. They could have been five and one in a full four games ahead of the Ravens, even though it's a third of the season. That would be a tall mountain for Lamar and Company to overcome. as it is now, the Steelers are falling apart. Colts this weekend, then at the Chargers. They still have to play the Bills. They have to play the Ravens twice.
Starting point is 00:25:12 I am not optimistic as a Steelers fan. I kept saying it over and over again. You got to miss up and down. You've got to mix in and out. And that's how you attack the Dodgers. Dan, to be fair to Zaz. It is a sneaky good NBA night, right? Because Spurs versus Heat, on first blush, people say, oh, that's boring.
Starting point is 00:25:30 I don't know. But obviously, Webiniam has been playing great, and the heat have been the best offense in the NBA. And so there's something there. It's a great game that's going to be on league pass. Meanwhile, on NBA TV, you got Warriors v. Bucks. Big game? Huge game. What do you talk?
Starting point is 00:25:44 Come on. Two MVP's. Okay, hold on a second. Hold on a second. Warriors, Bucks, Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, Janice Ante de Kumpo. Don't we have imaging for this? Do we have big game or not big game? Big game. The Warriors are four and one.
Starting point is 00:26:06 The bucks are three and one. Something's got to give. That's a big game. That's a big game. Big game. That's a big game. Damashek said that the Steelers are falling apart. Do you mean physically or just architecturally?
Starting point is 00:26:23 Because one of the interesting things halfway through the season, the dolphins are super hurt. They've got a lot of injuries on top of everything else. but one of my favorite things in the middle of the season as people fall apart as teams fall apart and human beings fall apart next thing you know you're looking up and the Broncos need some help to get to the top of the division and catch the chiefs and how are they going to do it
Starting point is 00:26:44 with 41 year old Mercedes-Lewis he's back he's still doing it? No he's back he is back for one more job Mercedes-Lewis at 41 years old carrying around a machine that I imagine has IVs, a dialysis machine running through your secondary. But you still block one guy with the hand.
Starting point is 00:27:05 And absolutely get open for a six-yard button hook. Like he will, from Bo Nix, like, Mercedes-Lewis is how the Denver Broncos are going to chase down the chiefs at the top of the division, even though they're ahead of the division. But on the poll at Levitard show, do the Broncos have to chase down the chiefs, even though the chiefs are behind them? Architecturally, it makes sense. Ultimately, when you see that slugally, lighter, right, with right-handed batters, he's going to go low and away with it.
Starting point is 00:27:34 It's going to get them lunging, but that's when he busts up and in, and then he attacks him with a splitter, right? If you're going to be honest, so Tani trying to swing for the fences every time pisses me off, Dan, and I don't want to even see. Talk about thin ass on a fat guy. Alejandro Kirk, I don't want to see that guy ever again, okay? Tired of Alejandro Kirk. Oh, he's so cool.
Starting point is 00:27:51 He's a frumpy little guy. No, guy sucks. Get him out of here. What happened? Like, why are you so mad at Alejandro Kirk? I'm a Dodgers guy, Dan. you know that and it's pissing me off the way that every single player tries
Starting point is 00:28:02 to swing for the fences with Trader Savage throwing a splitter that drops six feet. I'll tell you what I'm tired of. Last night I'm waiting for the game to start so I got the Cavs and Celtics on the small TV in the Zaslow Mansion family room and on the big TV I got the World Series pregame. You'd probably be saying why don't I have it the other way around
Starting point is 00:28:19 when I have the actual game going on in the pregame on the small TV. I didn't want to have to change the TV so it's like I'm getting set smart move. I'm getting ready so let's just let's just put the pregame on the big And I'm tired of this, Derek Jeter. Boy, he sucks. This is how Zaz sets the mood for love.
Starting point is 00:28:35 That's right. I got that on the little screen. Come in here, sugar. The only thing missing was me announce it to my wife that Monday Night Raw is on Cody Rose is in the ring, you know? She loves when I do that. Okay. But there's Derek, Dan, I turn on the pregame, and right away I get this Derek Jeter.
Starting point is 00:28:52 He sucks. And straight up just says, Blake Snell is definitely going to be incredible ball tonight's. Like, how could you say that? Like, I get it, Blake Snell's really good. You're facing the American League champions here. How is he definitely going to be really good? And guess what? The first two baddest of the game, home run. That part was amazing.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Three pitches into the game, he'd given up two solo shots. And I was listening, I'm listening to Booghambi on the radio, and these are the stats that he gives, that Blake Snell's strikeout rate is better than Bob Gibson's. Like, it's number one. And also, in 48% of his games, he either gives up zero runs or one run. First pitch, one run. Third pitch, two runs.
Starting point is 00:29:35 That's got to be the first time that's ever happened in the history of the sport. I got a question. I'm new to baseball, admittedly. But looking at the game last night, does Blake Snail look like Kenny Powers to y'all? Or is it just me? He's like Kenny Powers on Ozempic. He's more like Kuzine. I saw Kuzine.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Yeah, Kuzin. That's a good call. Everything Cheater says he's wrong. like stop no one cares about your predictions and if you're going to get predictions get it right once in a while I'll be a full extension out
Starting point is 00:30:04 full extension out that's what Trey I Savage is doing right you get that split finger grip and that's why Shoha Tani's leaning out in front all he does is lean out in front buddy he's going to throw the split it's going to drop like a like a trapped door what are you doing
Starting point is 00:30:17 speaking of Derek Jeter and getting things wrong he did say after Yamamoto pitched a complete game that he definitely wasn't going to pitch another complete game, and then Yamamoto then did indeed pitch another complete game. Take care, brush your hair.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Juju, I've got to... It's Kenny Powers! I understand why you're doing that, but that is way too narrow an ass to be Kenny Powers. That's his sick brother. Kenny Powers. Lenny Powers. Put it on the poll at Levitart Show. Does Blake's now look like Kenny Powers
Starting point is 00:30:49 is sick younger brother, Lenny Powers. at Levitard show. He's chinless, yeah. I mean, he's not at all comparable. Take care, brush your hair. I disagree with you, though, Zaz, on Blake Snell having a bad outing. I mean, yes, the two go balls to start the game were bad,
Starting point is 00:31:11 but he went 116 pitches against the American League jams. Jeter said he was going to throw a gem. You're mad at Jeter, not Snell. Right, right. Snow was fine. You can't. announce that a pitcher is going to throw a gem and the first new batters go yard and first three pitches too long this one's confusing damask that was such a good correction and yet you lose it's as low is correct wow it can never be a gem if three
Starting point is 00:31:38 pitches in you've allowed two two baseballs to leave the point tushay but it also deserves the asterisk of the curse of sposta which is what blake snow and the dodgers are carrying on their shoulders on top of, they are supposed to win this one. And it's not just this series, it is this era. And they are, like I was saying a few minutes ago, before Sippowitz interrupted me. Sipowitz's skinny ass or otherwise. Stay focused, damn shex. The seminal moment in TV history, Dave. Yeah, you know, the Dodgers are about to become the Atlanta Braves. And I think America at large is going to be happy about it. I mean, they have two titles versus the Braves having the one, but the
Starting point is 00:32:20 COVID one only counts for half. I think we all agree with that. I'd be careful with that, just given that it's Yamamoto in game six and then Otani in game seven. And in game seven, the Blue Jays are going to throw Scherzer out there throwing 92 miles an hour. That is not who you want to be your game seven starter. How old is Scherzer as
Starting point is 00:32:36 old as Mercedes-Lewis? I think he is as old. I think he's 41 years old as well. Will it be Otani Game 7? We know that, yeah? I'm assuming so. I thought Otani was going to be in the bullpen for 6 and 7. Samson said last night that it would be glass now in game 7. But Otani will be ready.
Starting point is 00:32:51 All on. Available game seven. If it's Glass Now, I mean, Glass Now is also an ace. Nice correction for Dan, who clearly doesn't know what he's talking about, because you have a guy in Blake Snell who looks like the only person in the world ever named Snell. And why is he throwing fastballs early in the game? You got an ever-aggressive Blue Jays team. They jump on from him.
Starting point is 00:33:09 He's going after you. No, well, that's the other thing. I tune in to his broadcast last night, and the first thing he's doing is he's questioning all of Blake Snell's technique. strategy when he's a two-time Sy Young winner and Jeremy's out here saying, well, you've got to throw that fastball in different place. Well, yeah, probably.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Yeah, probably. That's probably what... The splitters are a trap door, then it falls! Ultimate aggressive team in the Toronto Blue Jays. They led the league in hitting for a reason. They jump on that first. The video team thinks he looks like Nick Wright. While all of you are here, can I get
Starting point is 00:33:44 the bucket in play because we've got a crowded show today. David Samson's going to be on with us. Loblo Tori is going to be on with us. Jessica Smetana is going to be on with us. And all of us here are going to be at the Miller Light watch party tonight in Kendall. It's a block party. It's a costume party.
Starting point is 00:34:03 It is the Dolphins against Baltimore in a game that I suspect only has a regional interest here that is real super thin because I don't expect much of anything from the Dolphins this season. and to be more than a touchdown underdog at home, I don't expect much from them tonight either. Danny, you said it. We're throwing a Miller Light Watch Party for Thursday night football. Dolphins Ravens at the Flanagan's in Kendall. My home Flanagan's, by the way, Kendall, Drive, and 127th I have.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Join us tonight for Halloween Block Party. Costumes and courage. Come hang out with the crew. Dan, Chris, Roy, Tony, Jeremy, Amin, Judeo, Dave, Damichick, and more. Party starts at 6. Kickoff at 815, and don't miss Flanagan's $1,500 costume contents. It's Miller Time. million time. Maybe we'll have a special guest
Starting point is 00:34:52 appearance by Cash Patel, too. Cash Patel just distracted your reed there by putting a... The thing is his jacket is very plasticy, right? And it's like, I hear the rustling, and then my senses, I got to do like a chameleon thing where I split my eyes and look the other way. That's how you know the FBI's coming. They got them windbreakers. Exactly right.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Did put it on the poll at Lebitard show. Is that how you know the FBI is coming? They've got them windbreakers. Don Lebetard. It sounds to me like everybody could use a hug because a hug is always the right size. Stugats. All I have put in my body today is three cups of coffee and an entire cup of honey.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Don't let him fool you. He said in the break that he's jittery. This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. finds out because I found out I found out Paul La Tori finds out
Starting point is 00:35:55 I got something for Pablo Tori later on you do Oh yeah do you want to give anything to the audience in the way of a tease on this episode
Starting point is 00:36:03 because Amin Amin is starring in this episode Amin who is doing a lot of role playing throughout Metal Arc media he looked like a poker
Starting point is 00:36:12 poker player he was dressed a bit like Chris Moneymaker in terms of trying to put the sunglasses on and trying to trying to give off the appearance that he was in a rigged card game.
Starting point is 00:36:23 What can you tell us about the episode, Tony? How much of it did you absorb and retain? The entire thing. So obviously the episode centers around this guy, Sugar Shane, who is kind of what Pablo is painting, maybe the architect of some of the things that are going on, right? But there's a lot of callbacks to former episodes where there was stuff with the Jonte Porter group chat.
Starting point is 00:36:43 So the Malik Beasley story in July. So with all of this together, right, Tyrone Lou has mentioned, KG has mentioned, But the entire show basically is framed around this guy, Sugar Shane. Allegedly. Allegedly who's allegedly maybe taking a plea deal, but then also maybe also playing not guilty. Like there's a couple things going on. But the one thing that I know for sure is that I've realized what Pablo's game is.
Starting point is 00:37:04 I get his game now. Get sources. He gets people. This is not. This is again, by the way, this is again, months of investigation. This is more than 20 sources. This is thousands of documents again. And I found out who one of his sources is.
Starting point is 00:37:17 I know it. From listening, I can tell, oh, I know what's going on here. I know Pablo's game. You've got to be careful with that. You've got to protect Pablo's sources. For sure, and I'm going to protect him, but I just know. I want him to know. I know who it is.
Starting point is 00:37:29 I know who it is. It took me 30 seconds of investigation. So think about it. It took you months and thousands of documents and people and 900 people you talk to. I found out two seconds in. I like the idea of Tony finds out takes 30 seconds of an investigation. Just give him 30 seconds. He's going to find out something.
Starting point is 00:37:46 I just need to hear a couple things. I know who this. But Dan, to the point of the episode, this character, Shane Hennon, astute listeners will remember back in July when we were talking about Malik Beasley and the Jonté Porta text messages, as Tony mentioned. Shane Hennon was a central figure in all of this, right? And so as you look at the indictments that came down, there were three different ones, right?
Starting point is 00:38:08 One was Operation Nothing But Bet. One was Operation Royal Flesh, Nothing But Bet, centered around two different groups with people. The only connective tissue through all of that was Shane Hennon. And so we've been doing months of investigation on him, digging deep into his social media posts. Which is great, by the way. And we had our hands on some documents that were public, right? I know Pat 40 came out with something late last night.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Boy, sir. That was, that had a lot of similar material, but we got some documents that weren't public. And again, Dan, this is the thing. And when I do these Pablo episodes, I have an idea. I definitely, and this one a lot more than the Kwai one, because I've contributed to some of the research and the findings. But they always come with some stuff. I'm like, you had this?
Starting point is 00:38:58 You found this? Tony, how about the part where the Miami Heat factored in? Dan, if you zoom in and clarify. Well, don't, hold on. I saw, I saw, it is nice storytelling, and he's doing a futuristic. kind of journalism with old fashioned old fashioned journalism principles
Starting point is 00:39:20 and so he's telling nice and fun stories but don't give away too much here we're not going to give it away but I'm just saying there is something fun where in the middle of these episodes I feel like I'm in a movie all the president's man or whatever it's like wait a second let me see that picture again enhance enhance again clarify it do we have another angle and they're like oh my god
Starting point is 00:39:38 it's an amazing reveal and it's again the fruit of months and months research. Okay. And amazing reveals are part of what Pablo does, but I think I am with Tony Finds Out and the 30 second episode of Pablo's fallen in love with that voice distortion.
Starting point is 00:39:55 He's fallen in love with the shadowy pixelation and he did it to somebody that I believe I've heard tell that story without pixelation or without... This is not Dan finds out. I don't know. I'm not... I'm a boy cook. Kind of sounds like you're finding out.
Starting point is 00:40:11 I have not found out. You found out because I told you. I'm theorizing about what you found out. I also thought it was that guy, too. Whoa. Not Chris finds out. This is not Chris finds out. Chris Tan finds out is like 10 seconds long.
Starting point is 00:40:25 And then Chris finds out is like two seconds long. I just saw the distorted sound. I'm like, oh, I've seen that guy tell that story. This is like that scene in there's something about Mary where it's a five minute abs. Like that's great until someone comes out with four minute abs. No, wait, no, no. It's five minute abs.
Starting point is 00:40:38 When I saw. 50% of the batters they faced. Fewer than five base runners and a win. both of those postseason games, Trey Yassavage. He's just a 12 pitcher ever with 12 strikeouts in a World Series game. When I saw the modulation, my immediate thought was, wait a minute, I think Pablo is doing this to people who aren't asking for anonymity
Starting point is 00:40:59 because he just likes doing it. That guy has spoken a couple times, and I don't think he's... Maybe that guy. Again, what I found out. I don't think that guy wants to be muzzled, Dan. We're not sure. We're going to go to the... the bucket with everyone here. Anyone who is here on a Thursday has to go to the Dentech bucket.
Starting point is 00:41:17 We have all of the games. Damashek has never been to the bucket. It makes a bad day to be here, Dave. Yeah, Juju has rarely been to the bucket, but we are now all going to the Dentech bucket. I will tell you guys again, when it comes to teeth grinding, if you are having trouble with your jaw or TMJ, Dentec helps with that. this mouth guard if you sleep with it and you use it correctly will help you. What are you shaking your head? No. Dan, he had picked something out of the bucket
Starting point is 00:41:51 before you said go, so it doesn't count. Cheater, fronkin eater. Okay. Why aren't you guys legislating this? I did. That's why I had to wave you off. You got to keep an eye on damage. He was also looking in the bucket, another no-no. He's a known cheater. How dare you? I saw you. I saw you. You're trying to bed the bucket. I saw it. Leveling accusations
Starting point is 00:42:09 against me will not stand. You put your hand in there and you don't look. Excuse me, good sir. I will not stand for this. I will not be ensnared in your accusation. You are standing. Can I now take one? Yes.
Starting point is 00:42:21 The bucket is presented by Dentech's ultimate fantasy football punishment. I got the exact same one I took out the war hand, the Kansas City Chief. Learn more and sign up your league at Dentec.com. There are two and a half point favorite at Buffalo. That line keeps going up in favor of Kansas City. Are you taking them or are you going to put it back and try and get a better one? I am going to take the Kansas City Chiefs to cover against the Buffalo Bills. Right, on the Ju-Ju.
Starting point is 00:42:47 Josh Allen has beaten them a lot in the regular season, right? He just never beats them in the postseason. Yeah, don't bet on it, John Deno. I've got these little giants. The New York football giants are two and a half point underdogs at home against the Niners. No scuttleville, no picking the helmet. Wow. Scatter who's showing the line.
Starting point is 00:43:07 What my thing? I got the Raiders I'm sorry there are three and a half point dog at home against Jacksonville I don't think that's that bad that's a lot of dog I know if you're gonna get the Raiders it's a decent spot to get the dead dog Tony that's the Raiders tell me about it the both are dead dogs Dano
Starting point is 00:43:23 I got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a buy week yep you gotta buy I'm undefeated this year cash Patel it is your turn to reach into the bucket go go ahead Stay in character. You've got to keep your eyes crossed.
Starting point is 00:43:40 You're not keeping your eyes crossed. Sometimes it's hard to see the truth. I got the bears. Chicago Bears are... They are on the road at Cincinnati. They're a three and a half point favorite. I'm putting it back in the bucket. Really?
Starting point is 00:44:03 Scared of Joe Flacko. I can't bear to bet against Flacko. And you can bet on it. Flaco. Joe Flacco is... Probably going to be Jake Browning. Yeah, Joe Flacco's a big maybe. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:44:14 You should have taken... No, they tell me. Damn it. I got the Niners. Oh, their favorite. McCorkle. At the Giants. Two and a half point favorite.
Starting point is 00:44:26 All right, here we go. Tony, that's good analysis. Just shouting McCorker. I got to know. I got the Colts. That feels like a good one. Only three and a half point favorites at the Steve.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Steelers, that Damashek Steel, I'm keeping the Colts. Yeah, good move. This is the kind of game that Tomlin does win. That keeps them in play for 9 and 8, 10, and 7. This is the Tomlin. I was looking at them for Survivor this week. I'm like, nah, the Steelers could do it. This is the game that Aaron Rogers loses, though.
Starting point is 00:44:55 All right, let's do it. All right, Zaz is up. I got the Browns. Woof, I'm sorry. On a bye. Oh, nice. Congratulations. What I was talking about it.
Starting point is 00:45:05 You want to swap with me? Swap bys? No, I don't want to swap. Why are you swapping? You technically can't swap. You're not allowed to just swap like that. That's the Vikings I got. Do I want the Vikings?
Starting point is 00:45:17 Vikings are a nine and a half point underdog at the lions. Keep them. Bad pick down. Thank you, Tony. I got the Bengals. I'm going to lose every day and year. You love costumes, though. Every week.
Starting point is 00:45:31 No, I don't love wearing the costume. They give me a headache and then Juju accuses me of being told. Oh, the football season. Cruel beast. Sometimes it gives. Sometimes it rips away. Sometimes you've got good times. Sometimes you got bad times.
