You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Don Levertar Show with the StugatSpotcast. David Sampson is here today and I will tell you again before we get started because There are a lot of people competing in this space and people are now noticing the David Samson nothing personal podcast because Among many other reasons there are a whole lot of topics with for all the people talking sports Everywhere that the talking sports the content game has more people everywhere that the talking sports, the content game has more people yammering than ever before. And many of them are afraid of some of the subject matter that David Samson tackles with delight because it makes him think it simulates his curiosities.

It is the hardest stuff beyond legal and business. He's talking about it in a way that others aren't. So I encourage you to check out the nothing personal podcast on the Levitard and Friends network. Before we get started on the Levitard and Friends Network. Before we get started on the topics de jour, though, David, because you're very good about sports business. Obviously, I've said that before. But somebody named Washed Riley, this is his general attitude about the heat, a Twitter account saying Washed Riley, rights of me, I don't think there is a media personality in sports as hypocritical as levitard is with Mickey Harrison and the heat and what he's referencing there is me making fun of sports fans who want Mickey Harrison to spend more money than anyone does in sports to get them all of the best players going well over the luxury tax

And I understand why they want that and I I also understand why Mickey Erison says, you know what, I paid $50 million in luxury taxes, most recently in 2020, when I think we're really close, I'll spend some, but no, I'm not gonna be the golden state warriors and go deep, deep into the tax. So David, you have familiarity with the business. You tend to side with owners. I want Mickey Erison to spend all his money buying me players for my media business. You tend to side with owners. I want Mick Erison to spend all his money buying

me players for my media business. So I want to be clear on that. Mick Erison is a bum and a jerk for not giving me all his money for my entertainment and my business to be clear washed Riley. You ask all. But your thoughts are what here Riley, what your thoughts are what here Samson on the business of what I'm talking about? Mickey Arison has been losing money with the Miami Heat year after year after year, and you may find that hard to believe, but it's absolutely true. He does pay tax, but above that, operationally,

he loses money, and he used to be able to support it with carnival, which as you know, has been in the tank because of COVID. It's rebounded a little bit now. He doesn't owe you a thing. As a matter of fact, Mickey Arison has done for you more than almost any other owner in basketball other than Jerry Reinstorfe in terms of the number of rings you've had since it started with Dwayne Wade. I guess the first one may have been 2006. So for you to have any complaints about Mickey, he's gotta be one of the two or three best owners of all time.

And I hate the fact that I had a share of market with him because he did nothing but make me look bad every single year I was in Miami. But won't he recoup the money that you're saying he loses every year if he someday sells the team? Like won't he get that all back tenfold? Yeah, but he's giving the team to Nick. That's so, they're not gonna recognize

the increase in asset valuation because he wants to pass the team down to his son. So he's gonna be dead. So no, he doesn't look at it that way. You have an ex, you've got to have some expensive hobby. You don't have an expensive hobby? I have risky hobbies. Yeah. Yeah.

But they're, but not necessarily it's not expensive to go skydiving. Samson, why are you killing, why are you killing Mickey Harrison? Oh, I'm not. Just time is. I mean, he was as a matter of fact about it as that maybe something like, wait, what? That Navy submarine guy who came on yesterday and was like, yeah, whatever hope you got about paying sounds They're all dead and Samson's here with the nihilism of sports to say well Mickey Harrison will never get the the five billion dollars for his team

It'll be a nice mausoleum that Nick can build him because he'll be dead That is grim what you're doing there, but it's extremely true There are teams that want to pass on. So what happens, a team like the Metz, when Fred willpons sold the Metz, Jeff Willpon would have enjoyed taking over the Metz from Fred when Fred passes away. And I love Fred. I don't want him to pass away, but he will, everyone does. But they didn't have agreement amongst the partners and the family members.

With the Erison group, it's Nick. And Nick wants the team. Nick is getting the team from an estate planning standpoint. He doesn't have to sell in order to get his estate in line because of the other assets he has. So he has this all figured out. So he doesn't look at the fact that his team is worth three billion or three point four or four point three. He looks at the fact that he's writing checks every year and what's the fun of writing checks every year? It's not fun at all. Dan, it would be the equivalent of you starting metal arc and

you wanting to write checks every year to keep everyone employed, to bring on new people, to give people raises with reckless disregard to the fact that you're supporting people. So basically what I'm doing. Yeah, exactly. Not that reckless. I mean, look at the cast we've got today. Look at what, look at the tattered remains of my career as I look into the other room. And I got Chris Cody as the skipper, Chris Cody's in charge. This is no offense to Tony Roy and Jeremy.

I'm just saying I've never done the show I'm doing today before. This is a first to work with this crew of people. That's the tattered remains of my entire Metal art career. I think you had this crew a couple weeks ago, but we had a mean too. So we lost a meeting. Where is it? By subtraction. That's a way to question everyone. Oh, just vacation policy. And then leaving me to sound to the audience, like, I'm the jerk because I complain about employees for content. I'm the jerk because we've got unlimited vacation. I got a week one coming up next week. Beautiful cruise, Alaska.

Well, you only give unlimited vacation because that's what all companies are doing now because they don't want to pay unused vacation time to those when they leave the company. But ironically, no one ever leaves your company. Is that why we're doing that? That's the first time I'm learning of that. I thought we were just being nice. I thought we were having a loose,

I thought we were being loose with the rules. Just like, hey, we got a nice environment. People gun come and go as they please. That is a, you're adorable. That actually is funny that you think that the no limit vacation policy is you and Skipper being these great lads. Sam, I'm not kidding you when I say that you're informing me of this.

I am on air right now. This is not a joke. I legitimately thought, yeah, we're a nice company. We let the employees come and go as they please. That's a nice thing to do. No, no, it's actually for your benefit. And yet Danzo is here. Look at you. How about you? Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Dan's actually for your benefit. And yet Danzo is here. Look at you.

How about you? Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Dan. No, I'm gonna go on vacation next week too. Now, I mean, if I don't get to take vacation, Samson, can you come do the show for me?

Down here. I will always come be there. I just won't necessarily want to do it with Mike every day. Well, he's got a God complex that's problematic at the moment. So same for everyone here. Yes, we're working on that. He's taking a step back so far back that he's not here today. Because you know, that's too far back.

No, I think we have to show some leadership here. Just to take a step back means just to relax a little bit, it doesn't mean don't come to work. David. It is work that we do, isn't it every day? This is not work. This is fun. I have a lot of fun.

David, your as a neurotic a person is, if someone said to me, who's the most neurotic, just, and I don't know you that well, but from what I've heard you talk about yourself, you're very neurotic. I want you to know what your thoughts are on this whole submarine thing. Like, have you put yourself what it would be like for you to be there?

Like, how are you experiencing all this? I would be saying, oh, yeah, this is happening. It's so, so would I ever spend, I have an offer on the table currently, to go to space and run a marathon in space. What? No, excuse me. What are you talking about?

No, no, it's, it's can't be a real thing. I have an offer. See what he's saying? Well, from whom? It's such a good question. And who's making these offers? What is the offer? Give us the specifics.

Here is the current offer on the table. I'm contemplating. I'm saying this for the first time, publicly. I can't believe this is a real thing. Hold on, before we go down this path, then any of you know it was possible to run a marathon in space. Certainly not.

Isn't the whole thing? I'm so confused by how anybody can make this offer to David Sandwich. Do you have any competing offers? No, I don't. So no leverage. David, is it a treadmill that you're gonna be running on like a space station? Are you going to the moon to run this?

Like what is it? So I love your head, Zatoni. Yes, it is on a treadmill. A button, what you do is you go to space, the same way you go down to the Titanic. And when you get there, you get on a treadmill. You run 26.2 miles when you're strapped in, because otherwise you can't stay on a treadmill, you run 26.2 miles when you're strapped in, because otherwise you can't stay on a treadmill.

And then you go back down to earth and you've run a marathon in space. So what were your chances of actually doing this before this submarine thing and what are your chances of doing this now in terms of your willingness to do it? So what I'm waiting to understand, this isn't happening until 2025 or 26.

And there's a bunch of training you have to do and there's a bunch of approvals that have to take place because they're gonna try to regulate it in a way. They didn't regulate this submarine that was built at Radio Shack, but this is gonna be the real deal. And the only concern I have is the water stops. What is it gonna be like when I need to take a break

in space, because in a marathon, you could sort of take a break. How will that work with my body and what my nutrition plan will be? But the possibility of being one of the few people, this is what I love doing things that anyone could do, but not everyone does. That's what a space marathon is.

That's what the marathon was from the summit of kill him and jarro. Anyone can do it, but people are just smart enough to choose not to, but I love doing it. I love the risk. That's why I love skydiving. I love the possibility of going right to the edge and doing things that make me uncomfortable and running a marathon in space would be it. So if I had an opportunity to go to the Titanic and if I were obsessed with it and it interested me, I would 100 would be it. So if I had an opportunity to go to the Titanic and if I were obsessed with it and it interested me, I would 100% do it. Totally aware of the risks. That said, when I saw the sort of poppycock sort of operation they have, I would have waited for something a little bit more reliable, but I absolutely would have taken that risk. Dave, are they going to train you like an astronaut

to go up there? Are you gonna have to do like the G-Force thing where your face kinda gets like smushed up? Like what's the training for? The thing where you go to sleep for like three months and then wake up there. That's like a mission of mine. That's Austin Powers, you're talking about

the vomit rocket. That's the exact call. The slingshot or whatever. You go on an actual plane and it keeps going down and up and you get zero gravity. No, I will not do that. Although I love roller coasters, but that sort of training doesn't interest me. I'm just more curious about what the ride will be like up to space, what the spaceship will

be like, and what sort of mechanics will be used, how long it will take, what the price will be. I have an idea of what the price will be. And I can only say that I'm gonna need a raise, Dan. Samson, they've got a ton of follow up questions. None of which would be my follow up question, right? Because Chris Cody wants to ask you about just you on a roller coaster and how it's a big...

Hands up, you're not a hands up guy. But I need to know more about this offer. I I have a lot of questions about what this costs and the stupidity of what we're talking about because You cannot do this you cannot do this you must not do this Hello, I need to help you I'm in Barcelona and the creatures are everywhere Necesito ayuda, estoy en Barcelona y las criaturas están por todas partes. A la isluck, a la isl, escuchéis lo que escuchéis, tapados los ojos. La calle vamos todos a cieras, pero lo más aterradores no saber en que confiar. Uy de las personas que os piden que mireis, si queréis seguir convido.

Birdbox, Barcelona, Estreno in Netflix, El 14 de julio, Te atreves a ver. Don't leave a tart. How do people always go missing in the mountains? Don't go to the mountains? And by the way, I don't wanna bring races. This is the most white people thing ever.

Going missing in the middle of the mountains. It's the strangest thing. You go by yourself, you don't take a radio, you don't take a phone, you're missing for four days and they find you like 10 years later covered and snowing It's like don't go by yourself if you're gonna go on a trail don't go by yourself. Still gots put it on the pole Is it the widest person thing ever? I believe is what you called it going into the woods by yourself is going into the woods by yourself

I can't disagree with that man. So black people don't camp? Yeah, black people don't hike, they don't camp, they don't go on to the woods. This is the Don Limiter Show with this two gods. The President by Draft King Sportsbook, one of America's top-rated sports book apps. Draft King's has all kinds of ways to get in on the action including seeing game, Paul A's, props, live betting, and so much more.

You just go down when you sign up on a DraftKings sports book app to check it out. I've got a lot that I want to get to. Samson's out here saying the Marlins need to lie about their attendance right now. Start lying to everybody about their attendance. So we'll get to that in a second. You need to build the business through lying. That's David Samson's advocacy. Just tell people that 15,000 more people are there than are actually there to create momentum. But before we get to that,

tell me about this stupid space offer. They didn't call you looking for you. Did they, or you called them and said, how much does this cost? And they said hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars and whatever cost to get to space and take a treadmill into space. I've got this being an Instagram ad.

No, it's not Instagram ad. The person who's doing it is the one who's the race director when I did seven marathons and seven days on seven continents. His name is Richard Donovan and he's developing and will be the first race director the first ever space marathon. And it's gonna happen.

And he called me because I was part of the world marathon challenge. One of only 200 people to have run seven marathons in seven days and seven continents. And we're the reason why the seventh marathon is in Miami. We brought business to Miami. Do you hear that? Mayors and commissioners. We brought the world marathon challenge to Miami. He called me and said, hey, we're going to be doing a marathon in space and I think it would be perfect for you. And I said, hell yeah. So I am number one on the list.

Once they get approved, he will make the call. The pricing is not firm yet because we don't exactly know where we're getting the parts to the spaceship, but all that's going come together and we're gonna do it. You're on his, you're number one on his list of suckers is what you are. No, I don't agree. It's not a sucker thing. I'm kidding. How cool would it be to be in space? Think about the content doing a marathon in space.

But what's next for this guy? This guy out seven continents. Now we're going to space. Like what's next? Run a marathon underwater. The spaces you'll like from here. This guy just seems like the guy, like, I like racing. Where's all the wacky places we can race? He's the race director for the North Pole marathon, the Antarctic marathon, the World Marathon challenge.

So he does these cool things and no, he has acknowledged that this is his end. It ends in space. The minute the space marathon happens, the first one, that's the end of his career. Is there anything else happening on this trip of the space because this seems like a big time waste of the story? I feel like Roy could run a marathon in space.

Roy, I'm asking your wife to join me. Whoa. What is that? What does that mean? That's offensive. What does that mean? What does that mean? She's a marathoner.

She runs, right? Does she run? I want her to do her second marathon in space because I think Roy you'd love it and the training is not as bad. Roy's also a marathon man. Hit me Roy. Fist me. I mean, hey yo. This is an issue of, I don't know if you've seen the third episode of Black Mirror, but we've got a calamity on our hands here. A Black mirror situation and don't take that offensively Roy. I might. Well, if you see it, I think you might, because what Samson just did is offensive. He's gonna try and steal your wife while you're in space,

link to that third black, yeah, and that's what you just did. Don't shake your head now. What you did was publicly disrespectful. Absolutely not. Roy, if you don't back me up right now, you and I are gonna have a problem. Now it gets worse.

Wow. It sounds like I'm going to join you on this trip to space to make sure everything's closer. Mr. Steal your wife. I've got three trucks. It leaves me there's no time for Hanky Panky. It's about a marathon in space. All right, I got a couple of questions at Levitard Show.

Anyone younger than your grandparent age, ever use the phrase Hanky Panky, put that on the poll at levitar show also are there still radio shacks because i did wonder this when he mentioned uh... that the parts from the submarine work from radio shak can i go to physically go to a radio shak anymore i think they're done i think they went bankrupt with blockbuster like all around the one there's one book is left it like in Alaska. There are, I think there's a couple radio shacks. There must be a radio shack. There must be a number of radio shacks that

I could still walk into if I want to build a rocket or a submarine. I believe that's exactly what they did for the submarine that went down to the Titanic. Didn't he admit that? That he built it from all parts that you can find at a radio shack. I appreciate you helping us with the younger demo that we continue to be somehow popular with, with the phrases like poppycock and radio shack angling for the lane that Greg Cody presently occupies. No. I mean, yes, yes, that's where we are. Yes, the metal arc needs to carry more old people around. Something I want to get to with you, David, because I'm worried. I think this movie segment that you and Adnan do is very good. However, a lot of young people around here don't know the movies you're talking about, and

I don't know how to bridge the gap because they don't care about movies that are 15 years ago, no matter how great they are made. And one of the things I'd like the video crew to get ready for me soon is from the movie Malice, Alec Baldwin, because I recognize recently that Mike Ryan is becoming Alec Baldwin in this movie. And in this movie there's like a five minute scene that I will play later in this hour. There's like a five minute scene where Alec Baldwin with a giant arrogance says to your face a memorable soliloquy that reminds me these days of Mike Ryan who's taking a step back because his ego is two minutes Dan not five. Well we'll get to it in a second but

my question to you about most memorable movie scene monologues I think Alec Baldwin has two of the top 10 ever maybe two of the top five I've ever seen ever. Is the concern that you're worried that when people in the container or your audience, if they've never heard of something that they're disinterested in continuing to engage with the show that we're losing audience,

is that the concern? Now, I lose the interest. They're all in their phones when you guys are talking about your movies because they don't know the movies you're talking about. They don't have any human connection to what you're talking about. They don't have any human connection to what you're talking about. They're just a bunch of words.

So, but that's not reflective of your audience. Your audience, what they're interested in when Adnan and I do content, is why Adnan is so condescending and so ridiculous in his movie opinions and so just re-rude about mine and the emotion that I feel about movies. It doesn't matter if they've heard of them. And it's not as though we're choosing movies that no one's that that people shouldn't have heard of. It's not these crazy movies that didn't do well.

These are very, very famous movies. I don't think we have to cow-tow to the four people who don't come to work off and who go on their phones because they're bored when people vote with their with their thumbs and with downloading. And obviously you're the number one sports podcast in the world so clearly you're doing something right and if people who work for you don't recognize that i think they're sort of missing the point i am trying to straddle the fence between being a deteriorating aging host with an executive producer doesn't want to be executive

producer anymore and has a god complex. And trying to reach young people, even though he's a dad who secures the perimeter and growing young people, like Tony and Jeremy Tache that make me feel like today, I've got the heat roster that won 11 games for Pat Riley one season after a lot of mornings tough defense, though we play. I mean, it was going to be condescending to young people then you don't need to be there there on it they understand what you're doing and they appreciate what you're doing in their entertain by what you're doing

i don't believe that but the number speak for themselves do you think that the money that was given to you by draft kings was because that you offend fifty percent of the best in the demographic uh... no we're billing the hell out of things we've got uh... the best billing by uh... podcast anywhere in sports by Leaps and Bounds. Got that right.

I do have that. And that Heat Team won 15 games, Dan, not 11. OK, who was on that Heat Team? Is this the roster that I have today? Marcus Banks, Earl Barron, Mark Blunt, Declan Cook. I see a Declan Cook somewhere in here. We got some shooters. We got a freini hardaway.

I feel like I'm Shane Vadee, somebody that everybody. Who's a freini hardaway? I feel like I'm freini hardaway. Who's a freini hardaway? I was trying to read fast. You deem it on the team. Luke Jackson, Bobby Jones, the Matrix, Sean Marion. So, Shaq, Smush Parker, Chris Quinn, Dway, Jason Williams, Drowright.

I mean, stacked roster. The currently suspended Memphis head coach, Afrinie Hardaway. I have no recollection of Anthony Hardaway on a heat team. When the hell was that? I'm looking at it right here, who's number seven. Yeah, he was on the heat. He was on the heat. July 18th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, 17th, I thought you were doing the 1971 Ross everyone said thought that's what Tony said regardless Go send the rock to your 70. You know what do this for me go listen to you day I'm gonna go run a marathon on the moon in the penalty box run a marathon on the moon in the penalty box right now

It as your penalty for calling him and freini hard away on a day. I need you because I'm thinned out Go sit. I mean that's offensive I'm like Mike Beasley though Dan. I'm gonna put up shots right man. I'll make all of them real Who bears know it's an infranite? Today's as thin as you'll be Go run my kid when it's thin. Aren't you worried when it's too overcrowded? Yes. Oh, yes We had meetings about this. Yes to overcrowded bothers you. Yes. Yes. Yes.'s well, in general bothers me and the audience because we got too many people at microphone.

Now I have room to cook today and I have takes on Mike's take on Wemba Njama. Can I get to that or should I do it later? We'll do it in a second. We'll get to that clip for Malice in a second as well. But why should the Marlins lie about attendance and how dirty were you about lying about attendance? Oh, filthy. It doubled it sometimes. We wanted to pretend that there was momentum.

Pretend that there were people coming to games, so then maybe people would actually come to games when we were playing well. When you have an opportunity the way the Marlins had against the Blue Jays, you've won five in a row, eight in a row, your 10 games over whatever you are, and you announced 9800 people, are you out of your mind?

It's absurd. Miami is a place that people want to go where it's cool. And I don't mean air conditioning. They want to have fun. And instead, 9800 people forget it. You got to announce 18 at least. When you were doing this and like, is it an email? How does the attendance actually get reported? Like is it somebody from your team sending an email to MLB or you just importing it into like some chart? He has done all of this. I encourage everybody to listen to the lost pandemic files with Mike Ryan, where he showed you the innards of the Marlins business and way I've never heard a business deconstructed. But go ahead and explain it again here.

I just really, my question there was, do you ever, did you ever get like off the record comments from the league of like, yeah, no, they loved it because it would help their average attendance and their total attendance for the industry, which they could then announce attendance today was up 4.5% over last year. Hip hip hooray. Bud Seale used to calculate attendance with his pencil and would call us when our attendance was too low and then started like the commissioner's discretionary tickets so you could give tickets away at a dollar reach to help attendance. So instead of actually giving the tickets away, we just bought them ourselves.

So what we would do is we'd get a call. The call would be, here's what the actual attendance is. And then it would come to me every single game in the fifth inning. And then I would say, all right, the attendance is blank. And it would be based on someone's birthday. So today, the attendance would be $18.005 because it's my son, Caleb's birthday, his favorite number is five.

He turns 20 years old so I'd honor him. Or we did it with the height of people. We would always do so often. 19,769, we did that quite a bit. So we would give you a number and then we would pay a dollar for every ticket for that didn't exist because you had to do that for revenue sharing purposes. Don't lebertard. Chris Cody does an impression just be careful. Dangerous game. There's a dangerous game. I don't want to play this game. No, man, I can do such a great

game. Oh, I don't want to play this game. He's like man I This is who we're gonna trust me. Let's let a mean do it. I think I think you could do it Chris because you did a great Charles Barkley your one for one there did no one just hear the segment we just did with the mean we cannot be taking Judgment is not the best 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 Moody moody moody moody Okay, oh We cannot do this. It's too close to the line. This is where the line is something legitimately funny

Can't be funny because we're scared our ginger is going to do something racist by accident. Carry the hell on, Dan. Rachel, Dan, the line is where we feel alive, though.

How about this? A few days after the finals, Samson is already saying Pat Riley game is passed in by. He's already a few games, three games ago. Nobody was saying this. Now David Samson is here to tell you game has passed Pat Riley by. I want to again talk about what he said at the beginning of this segment, which is Mickey Harrison should be free to get richer. He's one of the greatest owners ever doubling down on what I'm saying again. I'm not defending Mickey Erison. I want him to go deep, deep into the tax, even if it costs him all his cruise ships for

me just so that you understand that's something I deeply want him to do. I want him to give me all of his money so i can watch heat games that have all of the players i would like to be the warriors for the last ten years not caring about the tax i don't know how that's defending miki arison miki arison doesn't think similarly to me miki arison says fifty million in taxes is enough for me how does that make it doesn't care about what you think actually. I disagree. You really doesn't. I'm sorry, Dan. Okay. I mean, you're very influential in Miami. I'll

grant you that. A lot of roar more reach than ever. But you think Mickey Erison's making luxury tax decisions based on whether or not you appreciate what he's done. No, but they're my appreciated. No, but that's different. That is different than saying he doesn't care what I think. But let me, because if I were to come here and every day, excoriate Mickey, Mickey, Erison for running his team poorly, I think he would not like that very much. You do come here. I do come here, man. You think he'd call you? Yes. Would you take the call? Yes. And what would you say? I'll tell you something else, David. I'll go a step further. I'll go a step further. The relationships I have with Stan Van Gundy and Pat Riley are born at first of me being deeply critical of them in in print and in

public. They actually respected it more than ask history. Like the reason I became close to those people is because they called me after I scorched them and were like, you're an asshole. Like, and that's how our relationship started then. Yeah, so I don't understand why people think, I don't understand. Is that how you start all your relationships, everybody? Yes, yes.

Yes. It's just negative. He's alone all the time. Let me play this clip because I do believe and and Tony will spend this entire segment running on the moon and we'll get his thoughts at the end of this segment on whatever it is. He after 12 minutes of running, we will get Tony's thoughts when he returns from the moon. Looks like it's difficult to run on the moon. Now it's not.

No, it seems inconsistent. I have a lot of questions about running on the moon just like David Samson does, and it's not just water-related. You're telling me you've got to be strapped in. That makes it easier to run. Like that doesn't even seem like it'd be a real marathon in terms of endurance. You'd just sort of be bouncing out there.

It'd be super easy. No, when you're strapped in, you're not bouncing. That's the whole point. Peds. So it's just a regular treadmill marathon? It's a treadmill. Have you ever been on a treadmill? Yeah, it's not any different.

I'm not trying to impute your body right now, but have you ever been on a treadmill? Oh, wow. I'm not imputing your body shape. I'm not imputing your body shape. I don't need the body shape. Me unnecessary. I was asking a question. Yes, I've been on a treadmill.

Is the answer to your question, Jesus. Do you consider it a workout? Yes, I've been on a treadmill. Is the answer to your question, Jesus. Do you consider it a workout? Yes, always. Therefore, doing 26.2 on a treadmill, strapped in or not is still a workout. Do you attach the little red strap to your belt buckle or do you live dangerously? You live dangerously because what are you gonna do if you go through space like George Clooney?

Are you gonna bounce around? What are you telling me? It's the same exact exertion. Yes. It is the exact same exertion. You need goo, you need nutrition, you need a plan. It's the same thing. Let's play this clip for the audience. Again, this is a movie that's 30 years old and just to give you a little bit of context, because I do like, I really do like how Adnan and David think about the movies. They have discerning and very different tastes, but I maintain that this is one of the great monologues in the history of the movies. From Malice in 1993, Alec Baldwin has just botched the surgery.

He is a surgeon who is very arrogant, very full of himself, and he's in a room full of lawyers, and he's being questioned in front of a mentor who did not give him a job that he wanted as the head of surgery. So I think Roy knows this scene, but I'm guessing that most of the people in the shipping container have no idea what this scene is. Let's play that clip for the audience. Dr. Kessel, seven months ago, the position of chief of surgery became available in Mass General. Did you get the position of Chief of Surgery became available at Mass General. Did you, at Hill's Seek this position?

Yes, you did. Did you give the position at, Jen? Excuse me. My client's name is Dr. Hill. Forgive me, did you order the position at Dr. Hill? No. Why not? Well, he was certainly qualified.

What you didn't give him the job. There were many other candidates. Surgeons more qualified? This isn't a trial, Mr. Riley. Dr. Kessler, during Dr. Hill's residency in Mass Channel, he wrote several quarterly evaluations. The evaluations will be read and reviewed by hospital administrators. Department of Ed's.

Yes. I'm looking at one right now, dated June 15, 1982, and bearing your signature. It's coming. I'd like to read from page three, paragraph four. While Jed Hill consistently remains the most skilled in the brightest of our residents, we should not ignore what I and several of his colleagues observed

to be an indulgence of the God Complex. God Complex? That's not a typo, is it? It says God Complex. That was written a decade ago. Once a God Complex. How did you get this information? This is privileged to be. Once a God Complex.

It's a term that has no clinical meaning at all. Doctors throw it around. Sir, I'll do respect, but knock it off. What did you mean in this evaluation when you said, Dr. Hill had a God complex? The power to heal can be an enormous thing, an enormous thing. To save a life, to get blood flowing into cells and vital organs if a person can do that.

And if one can do it as exceptionally as Dr. Hill, it's not uncommon for a person like that to begin to believe that he can do anything. The power to heal can be like a drug. Like a drug, you say, would it be uncommon for a person with a God complex to reject the advice of others? No. Would it be uncommon for such a person to proceed on a course that others might reject if only out of a sense of God-like power? Oh, I think now you're vastly overstating. Is that why you didn't give Dr. Hilda job?

There were a number of other factors. Is that why you removed a healthy ovary without any scientific diagnosis? Don't you address my client, Mr. Riley? Do you have a God complex? This is not acceptable. No, no. let him address me. Jed?

No, no. About time I got to give some answers here. Here comes not- I mean, this is all for the record. The question is, do I have a God complex? Dr. Kessel says yes. Which makes me wonder if this lawyer has any idea as to the kind of grades one has to receive in college to be accepted at a top medical school. If you have the Vegas clue as to how talented someone has to be to lead a surgical team, I have an MD from Harvard.

I am bored, certified in cardiothoracic medicine and trauma surgery. I have been awarded citations from seven different medical boards in New England, and I am never, ever sick at sea. So I ask you, once someone goes into that chapel and they fall on their knees and they pray to God that their wife doesn't miscarry, or that their daughter doesn't bleed to death, or that their mother doesn't suffer acute neural trauma from post-operative shock, who do you think they're praying to? Now, you go ahead and read your Bible, Dennis, and you go to your church, and with any luck you might win the annual raffle, but if you're looking for God, he was in operating room

number two on November 17th, and he doesn't like to be second guest. You ask me if I have a God complex? Let me tell you something. I am God. This side shows over. It's so good. It's so good. It's the number one.

It's not number one of all time for you. Of all time. It always has been. And I've actually done one of these on nothing personal. Uh, yes, it is number one. It is the best monologue, but you, you started it way too early. I'm not even sure anybody waited for it, but it was the Alec Baldwin part of the end. That's the monologue.

So it needs to set it up the way you set it up. So it happy to have a very glimmer. Awesome. That's another great one. Candidate for a top 10 steak knives. Do you have a top five? Yes. Does Alex Baldwin?

Let's let's do a top five top five monologues in the history of the movies with David Samson. At some point we'll get to Pat Riley being washed and we'll get to Rob Manfred being a total boob. Number five, Paul fiction. Samuel Jackson, when he is the big kahuna burger monologue. Outstanding.

Number four. In glorious bastards. The beginning of the movie with Christophe Waltz when he is in the farmhouse, it is riveting. So two Tarantinos to open, number three, Miles Teller in Whiplash. This is when he chooses his drumming and his work over his relationship with his girlfriend. This really hit home with me as it's a choice I've always made.

It is a very interesting and meaningful monologue. Number two, James Earl Jones describing what baseball is in field of dreams. It talks about, we used to play this. This is what they do at owner's meeting side note, Dan, if we have one more second, baseball and bud ceiling with his people would put this on the video board at owner's meetings

to get everyone excited about the fact that we had a season and what the season was like. And when it was what the expect and they'd play the James Earl Jones monologue. And finally number one, we just did it. Number one is Malice. Uh, yes. I'm sorry. I was distracted by Tony. Let's help a chino in any given Sunday.

Great monologue in the clubhouse locker room. They call it. And you didn't have Glen Gary Glen Ross in there. You didn't put Glen Gary Glen Ross in my top 10. But not in your top five. Tony has returned from running on the moon. Sam, so we're going to keep you for one more segment because I do want to bang in.

Tony is helping and puffing and sounds. Tony, maybe a penny for your thought on how that was. Yeah. Wow. Not good. Right. I'm so sorry. Tony, maybe a penny for your thought on how that was. Yeah, wow. And the penny thing was not good. Right. I'm so sorry. Yes, give me, give me all of your thoughts here.

Tony. Pretty a marathon space is difficult. He's the one in shape too. My life, my excuse me, my wife has run a half marathon. I just ran my life. I just ran a full marathon in space. It's obviously faster when you're up there because time doesn't exist in space. David can attest to that. One thing I saw on the way here to work today

that I think didn't think was gonna make the show. I saw Billboard. I saw Billboard that said milk hydrates faster than water. Who wrote that a cow? That's bullshit. It can't. Give me some milk please. Don Lebertard. Greg Cody of the Miami Miami Harold he's actively playing defense against my ability To do the show because what are you laughing at? Honey Boo Boo is in world in controversy. It's funny to me. Sorry Stugots he couldn't stop laughing just looking at the picture of honey boo boo That doesn't sound healthy It's a his laugh

We were friends we can't make him laugh like that It's how he's gonna die right here just laughing and coughing. I want to die like that. This is the Don Lebertar Show with this two gods. I will again encourage you to find nothing personal. It's starting to get awards, David Samson. It's hard to do this by yourself to be the lonely voice. And I know he's got coca's his producer, but doing a show daily by yourself. There aren't

that many who can do it well. And there certainly aren't any because coward, bailess, Steven A, they are not tackling the subject matter that Samson is. So let's just bang through some of your topics as quickly as possible here going through sports. Give me your best 30 seconds on Pat Riley is washed. You can't say you're going to run it back. No team runs it back. It's the worst plan ever. You're too loyal to your players. Not necessary.

He's suffering from Haslam hangover. They just ran it back and went to the finals. They didn't win a ring. If the Celtics are willing to trade Marcus Smart, the heat should be willing to trade BAM out of bio. Those are not the same players. they didn't win a ring. If the South X are willing to trade Marcus Smart, the heat should be willing to trade BAM out of bio. Those are not the same. Not even close to

come from those are not the same player. They're of course they're not the same players. I'm talking about the concept of running it back. No one runs it back. Even the Yankees didn't run it back when they were winning three in a row. You have a core, but you

have to change around the edges. I think that's essentially what running it back intends to mean. Like there was plenty within that press conference that said it back intends to mean. Like there was plenty within that press conference that said they're going to be tweaks, they're going to be improvements, they're going to be things to make Jimmy's window better and taking advantage of that. It's just it might not be the giant splash of a theoretical. Look, this is where we are with the heat. I think this part of it is pretty clear. I think it's obvious that splash building this kind of championship defense. The one that was better

against Yokech then any other is important and matters. And also they have to get better at offense. But they cannot trade all of their defense, which is BAM. A real defensive player. The not Marcus smart. Marcus smart is heart and soul and guts and everything else. And he's just okay at not Marcus smart. Marcus smart is heart and soul and guts and everything else and he's just okay at defense. Absolutely. Bam is actually an elite defender who makes them championship elite at defense. You only trade that if you think you're bringing back more offense than he is at defense, David. And I don't I don't trade it for Lillard because because all I'm doing there is getting more offense and I'm costing myself somebody who is integral at defense in a sport that

doesn't measure it very well, but the heat do measure it well. Erison's not going to have an itch be a complex. He's not going to have four max players. Just be ready for that. It's just never going to happen. Well, should he then, because this is the argument, this is the argument on, when people say go after Erison, it's the argument now in a salary cap sport, David, is are you willing to fight the other owner where the dollars are? The warriors

have a good stadium deal. They will go well over the tax to protect their players, but Dremont just opted out. This is expensive. They're not championship ready if Dremont opts out on 27 million dollars because costs are going up all over the place What should Mickey Eris and be spending is your calling him the greatest owner in South Florida sports history? Someone who embarrassed you as an owner when you were doing the president of the Marlin stuff He should do exactly what he does Which he's willing to pay a small amount of tax and when there is an opportunity You can go over it on a temporary

basis, but to sign a player where you're guaranteed dollar for dollar problems going forward for a player, Dame Willard, he's great. But you're going to tell me that Dame Willard, all of a sudden, is going to absolutely change or Bradley Beale is going to absolutely change for Ishpia. Ishpia and the suns are going to be like Steve Cohn in the Metz. They're never going to win a title ever because they're trying to buy it and you can't do it. Oh, but they will win every press conference in this time of year as people call Riley washed and say Ishpia is doing it the right way. I've loved winning off season press conferences. Guess what?

It doesn't mean squat. It feels good. It's like a quick drug where it feels good for the moment and then it disappears. And if you don't do it again, you end up destitute on the street. I was making fun of Manfred because of those Oakland reverse boycott quotes where he said he thought it was great. I was thought it was really offensive coming from that grifter. And now he says of the Houston Astros. He says, well, maybe I aired in giving the players immunity. And I think he told Time Magazine that,

what are your thoughts on him saying that? What should have been a much greater cheating scandal? Basically, a team won the World Series that was caught cheating and was penalized in a way that couldn't have been excessive enough. We were all cheating, number one, number two. I've talked about this, so listen to today's nothing personal, but I'll sum it up quickly.

Rob made a mistake to Time Magazine. He doesn't regret giving the players immunity because without immunity, no one would have known what actually happened. It was a deal cut with the union. It wasn't approved by all the players because Yankees and Dodgers players were pissed off. However, in order to get the Astros players

to tell him what the hell happened, he had to grant them immunity or the union would not have let them speak. So he doesn't regret it. What he regrets is the fact that it's still a story. And so I would not have come out to Time Magazine and said that that was this big regret. In a world of regrets, that doesn't need to be a regret. Pro football talk, I think it's Mike Floreo's reporting that an NFL player bet $8 million lost

$8 million last year gambling on sports, but not football has not named the player. And I don't know what that investigation is going to end up revealing. What were your thoughts when you saw that story? Look out, you're in bed with gambling. And I don't mean you specifically, though you are to we're all in bed with it. Every league decided that they're going to take the money. They're building sports books in Stadia. The result is going to be that players are going to cheat. The rules, they're going to break the rules. They're going to gamble on their own sport.

It is a matter of time. Not if it's when you are going to have someone who does something to compromise the integrity of the on field product. And then it'll get washed away in the sea of money that's coming into these leagues in these teams. This guy stinks of gambling, huh? Yeah, bad gambler. Eight million on a lost buddy, come on.

Mix it up a few chalk. We can chalk this milk. Filmmet, what were the reported gambling losses on Mikkelson? How bad a gambler is that guy and he just washed it all away by just suckering the p g a i mean what a bailout what uh... david we can talk enough about the business of film michael sin

funding is gambling problem by just taking money from the Saudis and ruining golf brilliant how are you not giving him credit for finding a new revenue stream that can let him do what he loves to do? Everyone loves to gamble. Were we criticizing Michael Jordan for betting 25 grand a hole when he golfed? It's the same thing as you are not you, but the rest of us betting a dollar on a hole. So what's the difference? Phil Miperson reportedly lost 4040 million over a four-year span gambling.

That's amazing. But he made four times that. And if that's his decision, I'm not his anti-people spending money. If you want to go see the Titanic, go. You want to go to space, go. You want to gamble, go. And apparently people want to gamble

because it's sprouting like weeds in an overgrown, unused arena or parking lot. Everyone does it. So give the people what they want, Ray Davies. A kinks reference? That's how you're trying to get younger. That you just referenced the kinks. Yeah.

Hell yeah. Don't, don't, don't say that people have never heard of the ginks. That's Lolo, right? Yes, that's Lolo. It's all I got for you. I don't even know what Jeremy said. Lolo, she was a showgirl. Uh, no, that's a different, that's a different.

Oh, you really got me? Them too. Yes. Well, that's what that's what he just did. Oh, what is the old, okay, earlier this week, this is how you're becoming Greg Cody. Earlier this week. You gotta stop saying that,

or I'm gonna leave. So, I love Greg, but he's got his own lane. That is not my lane. Well, this is why it's your lane. Greg Cody was asked earlier this week, anytime in history, a band that he would like to tour with. And his response was, was it the gene Miller band? Was it the, it was the 19 early 1940s, late 30s, Glen Miller.

Excuse me, that's a fine for me, my bad for not knowing the, I mean, I mean, Glenn, what technically the Glenn Miller orchestra? Dan, I'll give you a mind. What band would you want a tour with? The King, David. Don't hide it with humor. My answer would be Queen. I think the Rolling Stones and their Prime would probably be pretty fun. When you say touring with them, like following them around watching them, or you're somehow performing.

What's happening here? Blame it, I meant it. I thought like hanging out with them before and after the show. When you have us doing, what do you have me slapping the bass? I had David as Eddie Mercury. Oh, Mercury. Eddie Mercury. Eddie Mercury.

Eddie Mercury. Eddie Mercury. As his brother. I'm telling you, I had a cousin in the man. I go for an eight hour walk. Go run on the cousin. Go run on the moon. Oh my god. This is unbelievable. The crew. I'm working Any mercury and and Freenie hard away This is what I'm working to you should leave again Tony. You should leave again

You're stepping into the seat again. I I need to cap in the ship, Dan. What are you talking about? Who's carrying the boats around here? I'm not keeping sending people to the penalty box, Dan, because it's going to be just you, and you don't know what buttons to press. David, explain to me the man-frains situation, please, because I can't believe that a commissioner optically

is this petty mercury. No, I know. I can't end up in standing happens. In fact, can we get video? Can we get video to take Freddie Mercury's picture and just make him Eddie Mercury? Because it's a totally different rock star, Eddie Mercury. Do you mix up Eddie Murphy with Freddie Mercury or Eddie Murray? Or Eddie Murray from Oriole. I don't believe there's an Eddie Mercury. Do you mix up Eddie Murphy with Freddie Mercury or Eddie Murray? Or Eddie Murray?

From Aurel will be here. I don't believe there's an Eddie Mercury. The man- I think you should put Eddie Murphy on stage singing. Do people know that Eddie Murphy actually had a hit song? Buggie in the butt? He was a singer. What did you just say, Roy?

Now it's the name of one of his songs with Buggie in the butt. No, party all the time is the one that he's mentioning with Rick. What did you just say, what? Now it's the name of one of his songs was Buggie in the Butt. No, party all the time is the one that he's mentioning with Rick. What did you just do? Buggie in the Butt? Yeah, that's one of his songs. That's legitimately one of his songs. But it's not one of his hits songs.

It is a hit song. Never heard of it. Wow. Roy. Yeah. Are you joking right now? I'm not joking. Roy, I'm not joking.

It has legitimately one of the fun. You find for me proof. No, no, proving for me that he's, that that's one of his songs is one thing. You called it a hit and I will not have that. That was not a hit. You, that's almost as bad as Eddie Mercury to say boogie in the butt by Eddie Murphy.

What's that about, by the way? Technically boogie in your butt, so it's fine. I would assume that it never cracked the top 50. That is not a hit by anyone's definition. Roy right now is sinking into his own shame because No, no, no, no, I'm not. Roy, you find for me some proof there that that was a hit. You find for me one sentence on the entirety of the internet

that proves to anyone. I'll wait the rest of this segment. I'll just stare at you for the rest. I will waste the rest of David Samson's time on this show. Looking at you, waiting for you to search the entirety of the internet and find me one fact that suggests that that is a hit song. Just search its top ranking. What was its top ranking? No, he's not going to find. he's got to find something that proves it

Not something that disproves it. He also didn't even get the name right. No, it's just awful. How dare you? Oh no, no How dare you how what I have this morning is in freiny hard away. That's honest mistake Eddie Mercury Any mercury? Huh? Huh? What? What? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?

Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? What a show.
