Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow in it. Would you guys be kind enough, please, to find for me just some general reaction to that Stormy Daniels conversation that we had yesterday? Because I imagine when we're trying to talk to Ricky Williams and Stormy Daniels together that people are just immediately going to get bothered by that. I don't know but I assume it and the only comment I have seen so far it's it's legitimately the only one I've seen

is today we have a big surprise a guest on our show she's an old porn star who is super uninteresting, but she doesn't like Donald Trump, so we think she's a genius and we'll allow her to scream into our echo chamber for 20 minutes. I believe that that's what the general reaction to that is going to be, and I'm just curious if you guys can find me some stuff so that I can get some

of the commentary. I don't imagine that any of the commentary is any good. Top reply to one of the videos on Twitter, Dan is clearly compromised. Doing this political interview makes zero sense for a sports show unless the blackmail they have is very bad. My favorite part was her boyfriend constantly opening

the Winnebago door just like we weren't doing an interview. Just constantly throughout it, opening and shutting the door. Did everyone today have plumbing issues? Why is there such a skeletal crew here today? Amin has gotten over his stomach problems from last week and has made an appearance here

in a way that we're very happy about. Yes, and everyone will be happy to know that I tempted fate by having a shawarma at midnight last night. So fingers crossed. My God. Put it on the pole, please. At Levitard show, are you tempted, attempting fate by having a shawarma at midnight?

We designed to this for Amin today. This crew is per is designed to let a mean shine. Today is let Amin shine day. Can we get imaging for that? Because I would like to shine Amin. I would like to buff a mean and I would allow Him he had he had people all over the internet who have nubs Screaming at him screaming at him because his last appearance just took out

Inexplicably Jim Abbott on his birthday by the way did you guys know that that was his birthday that we did that on? That was a small caveat We did not know I had no idea. Well. We didn't we didn't know it at the time But we did know it no we did know it the next day and said it the next day But I mean wasn't here because he can't control his bowels because he does things like eat awful things at midnight It's a milkshake. I think was got him with the with double Burger like it was absolutely the milkshake the burgers are are fine, the food's fine. The milkshake was an ambitious move. I thought it would just be gas, my bad.

This is what we're calling a mean shine day. Okay. Did we get a better word for nub finally or no? No, well, I mean. Everybody with a nub was still saying nub. Jeremy talked to some medical professionals and they said residual limb. But that doesn't really help people.

Everyone knows what you're talking about. Dude, with a residual limb, everybody's like, what? Yeah, that's not helpful in any way. By the way, shout out to Mike Schur for the cosign. You gonna keep going? No, I didn't know. I'm, you guys are or you? Oh, I didn't know. I'm you guys are staring at invisible clocks. I don't know when we start.

It's a shadow. Oh, we've got that. Oh, we've got that. I mean, great. We've got that. I mean, can't wait to do today's show. That I mean. This is the Dan Leventhal Show with the Stookats Podcast. The Crown Lebatore Show with the Stugats Podcast. Today's episode is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show.

DraftKings, the crown is yours. Chris Cody has rarely offended me the way that he has offended me today because he comes in here and I'm assuming you're paying a grid of death punishment that is Indiana Jones related, correct? This isn't just the style that you decided to use on a Thursday morning. You're paying a grid of death punishment, correct? That's right, Dan-o.

I don't really know how he talks. It's not like that. Jesus Christ. He does not talk like a cowboy. I don't know what it is that you're doing, but the way that you offended me is that you blasphemed against the Indiana Jones properties. Valerie, my wife, will laugh at me as an adult male because if there is an Indiana Jones movie on television, I still have old direct TV channels and I'm still watching stuff that isn't streamed.

It's just you watch it when they air it and you're stuck with it. And I will stop in the middle of every Indiana Jones movie. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Will you stop on any Indiana Jones movie? And the reason I do that isn't just because I love the Indiana Jones franchise, it's because it's legitimately

the first movie theater experience I ever had was the original Indiana Jones. And you can imagine how that would impact a child. The idea of discovering a movie theater as a young person. And I was, you know, I don't think I was yet a teenager, but I didn't go to the movies early in life. And so the first movie you see, to have it be that, to have it be the first Spielberg vehicle

that is the introduction to Indiana Jones, it's gonna shape the way you watch all the future ones. It belongs in a museum. I've never seen a single one. I just can't think of a movie franchise out there that I'm less interested in. How's that possible? It's just, my only exposure to it

is the stupid Hollywood Studios show where the guy with the Hawaiian shirt comes down and then the boulder. It's like, hey, if your best weapon is a whip, then I'm not interested. It's not a whip, he has a whip. He has a gun, he has these right here too. There you go, those are his two most lethal weapons.

The whip is what he's most known for, at least through my exposure, the whip is what you associate with him. Your exposure's from a theme park. Maybe I'll check it out and maybe I'll, if I watch everything, I won't. You're not gonna check it out if you're already this impressed.

Why doesn't your costume have a whip? If it's the main part of the costume, why are you just wearing the leather jacket and the hat instead of having a whip? It was an HR thing Really and they were like no whips to use a belt You got one. No, that doesn't really work a ripoff Flea-market, Indiana Jones with a belt is not the same thing. I don't understand what you're doing

I mean, it should be a whip or nothing at all, but I don't understand why he doesn't have a whip I why such a half-assed grid of death? I mean, it should be a whip or nothing at all, but I don't understand why he doesn't have a whip. Why such a half-assed grid of death? This is our first grid of death punishment, and all you're wearing is a hat and a leather jacket. And a shirt. I look great, I think. As I look up, this hat, there's something about a cowboy hat

with the bill pulled down. This could be a new look for you. You could just be walking around like that forever. you know, Chris walks in kind of like Bobby Bowden. Remember, he used to have this Island of Dr. Moreau hat that he always used to wear and it was so weird looking, wasn't he? Well, we have a thing that happens around here that is pretty funny, which is our actual styles are so bad that often we are paying grid of death penalties and people say that's a better look for you Than your average look so when Stu gots is guy Fieri all of a sudden people say you should rock the flames on the shirt When I'm George Michael people say you should wear rhinestones on a jacket when Chris Cody is

Indiana Jones people look at him and say you you really do pull off Indiana Scones. Oh, we're gonna play that game? All right, we can do it. I just ended it. No, no, no, you haven't. You guys aren't gonna do better than Indiana, you're not gonna do better than Indiana Scones. I've been working feverishly there.

All right, go ahead. I'd like to see you do better than Indiana Scones. I'm all in with Indiana Scones. Okay, so we've got Indiana Scones and the Temple of Lunchroom. That's number two, Chris. You have a whole list ready, good. Then we have Indiana Scones and the Last Croissant.

I heard the laughter out there. Yes. No fanfare though, so I guess we'll keep going. You did get the laughter. Is this a top five? Where did this come from all'll keep going. You did get the laughter from the other room. Where did this come from all of a sudden? You did this very quickly. Now Dan, if you remember, most of us our age,

we think of the trilogy, now is it. But then they came out with two movies after that. One of them was the one with Shia LaBeouf, that was Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal's Burgers. That might be a regional thing, Crystals. And then finally, the one that just came out last summer, was it?

It was Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destinites. So you didn't do better than I did. I mean, I kind of felt like the last croissant got a laughter out there that didn't, Indiana Scones didn't get that one. You got a little bit of laughter through a door that is in the other room. I heard two people laugh at a conference table.

Our audience is slightly larger than that. No one is going to argue that you did better than the original Indiana Scones. We have such a skeleton crew even out there that there's only two people out there. So it's actually 100% laughter right there. There you go. I don't understand why it is

there are so few people here today. Is it because this company allows people to take whatever personal time off they want? Is it because the hurricane has now descended on Florida? Dade County is the only school that's actually in session today. The rest of Florida has canceled education today, and some might argue,

Florida's been canceling education for about the past 20 years. We need it especially in Dade County. But Dade County, because of the size of this storm. I was on my balcony this morning. This stuff is scary, man. I was on my balcony this morning. As winds escalated at a nowhere to 45 miles an hour,

and all of a sudden, all sorts of things are just flying all over the place. And that's nothing compared to what is headed toward Tallahassee where our government of Florida continues to take a lot of things that represent nature and try to pave them with golf courses and development in a way that makes us flood worse than most places because asphalt does not absorb things. So I am like deeply concerned for not only what is coming to Tallahassee and is about to explode

in some great ferocity around two o'clock today, but I do believe there's the possibility after today that it will be, Florida will be uninsurable for homeowners, that the rest of the insurance companies will leave because they are fleeing Florida. To be clear, you just described this incredibly impending doom situation facing us here in Florida. And then that was prefaced by,

why isn't anyone here today? Is it because you guys take days off whenever you want? Well, but South Florida is blissfully away from the worst of this. Well, that doesn't mean it's blissfully away from the bad of it. Yeah, I mean, the drive down this morning was not great. From Broward County down here, I actually ended up

in a little fender bender because of the strands of just movie-like downpour. Chris mentioned that Hollywood Studios ride with Indiana Jones. It looked like that type of rain where it was literally pouring sheets of water onto my car. Hold on. Ty.

You were in a fender bender. You bent fender? Did that happen? No, my car's okay. My car's okay, luckily. Well, how about the other guy? You should see the other guy. No, I actually, I hit a wall, but? My car's okay. Okay. Well, how about the other guy? No, I actually hit a wall, but it's a separate conversation.

We'll talk about it later. You hit a wall? Yeah, I'm median. Dude, this is, that's the wall. You should have led with this. What are you doing? You should probably sue the company or something because I have no other way. Because no one else will.

There you go. Sue the company. You put them in danger because you demanded people be here. I haven't demanded anything. I don't demand anything. That's why nobody's here today. Business as usual. I don't know.

Jeremy, just like Greg Cody running to walls. Time. You don't think you're demanding when you kind of make all of these passive aggressive digs at everyone who's not here? I'm looking at a skeletal crew and I imagine people watching this are like, where is everybody?

And I'm trying to explain to people when I don't have the answer to where is everybody. Yes you're trying to explain but your first inclination wasn't the weather's awful down here everyone needs to be careful it's are you guys taking days off like you usually do? The weather is beautiful here. Before and around hurricanes when the weather is good you rarely see as beautiful a sunrise as the one that i saw this morning there are however these outbursts of rain and wind that are unexpected but if you look if you look at what is happening on these maps what you will

see is all of florida is in the danger zone and severe weather including the Keys including stuff south of us but this area of South Florida where we are working has beautiful weather it's not just it's not just that it's not dangerous weather right here where we are surrounded by a ferris wheel and the lovely Bay it's that it's not just that,

it's that this is the nicest weather you'll ever see down here. Like you, in fact, I was thinking today, okay, because because there these outbursts are unpredictable and they are there are all these stray strands, there was an unhoused person who got hit by this 45 mile an hour wind that was happening on my balcony that came out of nowhere. And I'm like, if that person is not internet access savvy, what a startling thing to not have any warning whatsoever that Florida is about to be engulfed in storm and where he was moments ago.

Totally beautiful. Just pristine, absolutely lovely. And then all of a sudden, 45 mile an hour apocalyptic winds, and they're about to be three times that much. The winds kept me up last night. Let me tell you that. You say it's beautiful down here. All I heard was woo! That was just your noon meal or your midnight meal.

That's all that was. My food was just your noon meal or your midnight meal. That's all that was. That my food was making that noise? In your stomach! Oh, my stomach got it. I was like, I think it was dead Dan. I don't know if it was still alive. Woo, don't hit me!

Breakfast flan, dun dun dun dun.

Stugats. Have you never heard the breakfastlaunt song? No, hit me with it. Okay I wish I had some Breakfast Flaunt. Breakfast Flaunt. Where can I find a breakfast like that? This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats. I want to celebrate something from last night in sports. And you guys, please get the video for me of the standing ovation that Diana Taurasi got. Metal Arch Media has been following her around all season doing a documentary on her and she we're gonna tell that story because the roots of that kind of greatness are worth exploring. You've heard me say Am recently, that the cruelty in criticism of athletes make it, I believe, that today's athletes who have really arrived at a mastery of sports sometimes aren't celebrated as they

should be because we spend so much time blaming and criticizing and telling people how it is that they can be better at being athletes. But beyond being a pioneer, which Diana Taurasi obviously is for 20 years, the idea that she would score 21 points in Phoenix's first game of the playoffs and then would leave the court fouling out last night and possibly ending her career. We don't know for sure because she didn't talk to the media. I would imagine because to be great for that long, you have to have a special kind of seething

in your soul that makes you not want to talk to anybody and do emotional farewells when you've just had your season extinguish. That's three straight seasons that Phoenix has finished under 500. This isn't the way that she wants to end her career, I mean, but her playing in her 40s after 20 years suggests a maniacal craftsmanship and dedication to what it is that she's doing to fight off the young people in that sport, to fight off everything after 20 years that tries to take her greatness on a sport that

she's built that is now, I got to imagine, better than it's ever been. I mean, in terms of what the competition is, because now you have the dollars, you have the path that she built that has all the lights so that others can follow. You're from the area. What does this mean to Phoenix? What kind of star connection does she have to the region? She's on the Mount Rushmore, along with Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Nash, Charles Barkley.

She's one of those names. An icon. And Dan, the thing that everyone has to remember is that she's from the era where the idea that like, I just played in the WNBA and then the WNBA offseason is my time to explore other interests. She didn't have that luxury. She was playing year-round basketball every single season. Building the league. Building the league, building the sport, all over the world, in Russia and Turkey, all places like that, where she was incredibly successful. We're never going, because we're not as educated

and knowledgeable about the Euro League as we are what happens here, but the reality is that's where she made most of her money during the bulk of her career and she was incredibly successful there. A six-time Euroleague champion, a seven-time champion in Russia, a three-time Russian player of the year. This is when Russia had the best domestic league in the world. Turkey, everywhere.

She won college, obviously, Yukon was incredibly successful there. She laid the groundwork for what it is to be the modern WNBA superstar, and she did it globally. And when you talk about that seeding, it's funny, we were talking earlier and Jeremy was like, well, you know, it's kind of crazy. This is how it all ends. And I said, I mean, look, I get it. We all expect this to be her last year.

Maybe even she expects this to be her last year. But don't be surprised if come March or April next year, she's like, you know what? I got another one in me. Tom Brady vibes. Very strong Tom Brady vibes, exactly. I could see her retiring and then coming back. She average 15 points a game.

Like she's still a productive WNBA player. She's not a superstar anymore, but she's still productive. And then I think one of the biggest things I could say, and I know that people are gonna take this the wrong way. Oh no. He's got bad judgment here, and I hate when he prefaces stuff with that. Go ahead.

I mean, I don't have the best judgment in the world, this is true. But she was the player that made me believe, oh yeah, I could see a woman playing in the NBA. Wow, okay. Watching her play in her prime on the practice court, in games, playing against men. I don't know who she'd guard, she would have guarded, but offensively, absolutely. She was every bit that kind of talent.

That's crazy for me to hear and I don't want to turn this into too much of a discussion right as it's an older discussion that people were having instead of games that matter right now in order to talk about this stuff but you as a front office executive uh... saying that saying that the offensive game impressed you that way sort of explains to me how it is that she won as much as she did because you just mentioned Russian championships you didn't mention the six

gold medals you didn't mention the three WNBA championships and you started to mention the three college championships but you're talking about a lot of people might look at that and say that she was dominating a sport that was still in its formative years she was that much better than everyone else and therefore that's why she was doing that winning No she was beating the best of the best in order to make this league what it is and she was showing you something that Suggested to you that she could play amongst the men the other thing also and I know there are gonna be a lot of people like well, she's not better than Caitlin Clark or whatever, but

the interesting thing I always think about, this is on both sides of the gender aisle, right? Men's basketball and women's basketball is when we take the accomplishments of older players and say, oh, they're not as good as the players today. Why? Because they can't do this, that, and the other. And I always say, is it because they can't do it, they don't have the skills to do it, or because the game wasn't ready for someone to do that? A

great example of this is Isaiah Thomas, the original Isaiah Thomas. People, well he wasn't that great a three-point shooter. I said, all right you got to think about things from Isaiah Thomas's perspective. There was no three-point line in high school when he was playing. There was no three-point line in college when he was playing. So the first time he ever saw a three-point line was when he played in the NBA. Every coach at all levels of basketball taught, hey if you get a close out on three-point line you pump fake and you take two dribbles in and go the high percentage shot. The high percentage shot which is a mid-range

jumper, right? So everything you are taught and everything you are told is this is how you play the game. And now you want to be judged by the standards of today. It's like, well, he can't do this thing that everyone discouraged and no one thought was a real thing. Tarassi obviously doesn't have that kind of background, but still the background of, hey, let's not rely too much on that three pointer.

Let's not shoot too much, let's not go too crazy. Caitlin Clark has benefited because of players like Tarasi and Steph Curry and everyone else to grow up in an era where shooting those kind of shots and playing that kind of way is not only accepted, it's celebrated. And so I always wonder when you think about a Tarasi for as great a career as she had, three time WNBA champ, five time scoring champion, right? What would it have looked like if she had played, like if her career started now?

Would we be as flummoxed and thrown off as we are by Caitlin Clark? Her career started four years before the iPhone. So. That's crazy. Yeah, she's just been doing it at the top of the sport for a really long time. And I don't know what's the craziest part of it because I think we've somehow gotten numb to this

because of science and how advanced athletes have gotten and taken care of their bodies. Doing this in your 40s is crazy. It's just crazy. I know that Tom Brady and LeBron are doing it in their 40s, but getting to a place where you're numb or you think that it's normal for her to be able to put up 21 points in the first game of the playoffs

when she's 42 years old, And it's not just 42, it's 42 with all that mileage on the body of not just playing WNBA seasons, but playing WNBA seasons without charter flights and playing WNBA seasons year round because you have to have off season jobs because the WNBA salaries aren't good enough. I don't know what the comp is in modern sports. Maybe there's somebody from the 20s or whatever played in some league, but I don't know what

the comp is in modern sports of someone playing 11 to 12 months a year and being the best player on their team. She doesn't get to go be a role player somewhere else and hide in the corner. She was the best player on her team for Damn near close to two decades and play major minutes and being a major focus and having no time off It's not the years honey. It's the mileage What is that? You sounded like Steven Seagal you did not sound like Indiana scones Chris has been workshopping like all the things He said she obviously hasn't seen the movies He's been googling like what are Indiana Jones phrases or like catchwords that I

can say snakes. I hate snakes. That one's actually not bad, but he's working something that Dan, he doesn't know what how to say it because he's never seen the movies. So he's saying lines like out of order, out of context. He's not Liam Neeson and no, it's snakes. I hate snakes. Jack, I hate him because he's in an airplane in an airplane or by plane. Yeah, that's just my pet snake Reggie jock has a weird accent. We don't know where he's from by you. They're digging in the wrong place They're digging in the wrong place

And then his friend Sala starts doing a weird dance and then you know what do a weird dance Yeah, and then he almost eats the dates, he's like, bad dates. Listen. That's a classic. They're digging in the wrong place, man. No, wait a minute. Is that Joe Biden? That was Joe Biden.

That's Joe Biden. These impersonations are terrible. Every last one of them. I'll keep working on it. Well, I'd like you to not, because I don't think they're gonna get better. You're not summoning Harrison Ford in any way. You're not conjuring. I'm trying to place exactly,

the audience will help me with this, I'm trying to place exactly what that sounds like, but it doesn't sound anything like Indiana Jones. Bellock. Bellock, actually that one wasn't bad. He had a, maybe he just got a bit of a. I gave him that one, I gave him that one. He's dumb, but he's just using the words to help you you would never know that that was

Indiana Jones if you didn't have the key words from the movies I just need a whip and I'm right there Why don't you have a whip that's something that you would think would be a part of the costume HR. You're just wearing I would HR now look I Understand why it is that generally speaking we don't want whips in the world in the workplace Why you might be able to file that under HR? But as part of a costume and part of a plan I don't expect a real whip a real whip is dangerous a real whip is a weapon

I I expect a fake crappy Amazon two2.99 jump rope type whip. I've got a lot of fond memories of that dog. That doesn't sound... That's not it. I don't understand what you sound like, but it's not Indiana Jones. I'm trying to figure out. Have you ever heard Harrison Ford talk? I've seen the show at Hollywood Studios. Well, you mentioned The Boulder.

That's all you remember is The Boulder. How does he jump? Where does he go? Can you imagine seeing that as a 12-year-old Dan Leventhal in the theater for the first time? Do you realize, I mean, is Star Wars obsessed? In 1976 or 77, Star wars as a movie was uh... graphically special effects well ahead of its time i will tell you that spielberg doing indiana jones that that bolder coming

down the way that it was eight twelve-year-old dan levitard had his eyebrows singed off and would love movies forever because of that boulder.

The grand majority of Amin's impersonations are just people, you did it like two or three times during that segment, where you're mocking someone's opinion and you give them a ridiculous voice to give that opinion. That's not an impression when I mock. It's not an impression.

This is something that, you wanna know my biggest problem with Dan Leventhal, ladies and gentlemen, this is years in the making. Every time I'm mocking someone, and they're doing these voices, Dan's like, who's that an impression of? Look, I'm doing an impression of Dan, but that's not how Dan talks.

This is Dan's dumb, Dan's dumb voice that I'm doing right here. Who, who's that an impression of? It's not an impression.. This is Dan's dumb voice that I'm doing right here. Who's that an impression of? It's not an impression. An impression is when I do DMX, which is a really good impression. Or when I do Obama, that's a really good impression too. Or when I do Doc Rivers, it's not Blake's fault, it's Dan Leventhal's fault. I do great impressions.

I do great impressions. I stand corrected. Those three are all good. I felt like I was just sitting next to Frank Caliendo right there. How you went effortlessly from DMX to Dock Rivers. I stand corrected and I apologize. This is also an impression. What are you doing, man? Nazis. I hate those guys. What happened to down the middle Chris?

Layered. Did you like that? Indiana Jones doing Biden, come on. Indiana Joe Biden. Where did you get that whip? Where you now have- What? Yeah, he now has a whip. Did you have it all along? How is it that that whip suddenly made an appearance? I said, screw HR, man.

I'm doing it. All right, well, thank you for doing that You have done a couple of okay. We're not gonna call them impersonations or impressions But a couple of times during the last segment you did the person talks in dumb voice and gives dumb opinion in dumb voice Michael K the New York broadcasting legend, side swiped a series of fans, and this is something I think I mean, that is a bit of a plague in sports media,

and I'm guilty of it because a lot of times, sports fans feel like they're talked down to by people who make their living talking about sports. And here's Michael K. and Michael K. I would say is as well rounded and as strong a resume as you will find in New York sports broadcasting. He's been doing it for a long time really well multiple outlets i believe he began as a sports writer

and turned it into radio and turned it into the voice of the yankees but at this age michael k appears to be basically done with the paying customer now for those terrible offensively he's terrible. So they're going to make a decision in the postseason. Do we want defense or do we want a guy with some clout in his back that could actually slug the ball and that's Jason Dominguez. That's the decision they have to make but here's where I say

damaged people. You ready for this? Yes. So then there was this threat of people that I said that he had a bad road trip and then they're jumping because he had two home runs. Never said anything about his offense ever. And then it turned into, well obviously he's gotten his marching orders from Cashman and

the gaslighting is beginning so that when they don't have the ring get starting, you know, he's already paved the way. As if me on my, and on the game, that I could actually pave the way for the fans not to freak out. So here's my deal. I'm gonna make an offer that I've never made before. So those fans that say I got my marching orders

from Cashman, I give you a standing offer of $10,000 right now. $10,000 cash, won't even be a check. If you could prove that over the last two months of this year that I've had any interaction with Brian Cashman, walking by him, saying him hello, text, anything, email, any kind of phone conversation, if you, mouth breathing lowlifes, can prove

that I've had interaction with Brian Cashman where he could quote unquote give me his marching orders, $10,000 when you give me the proof. I gotta tell ya, it would be worth it for somebody out there to do the work if you could. Do the work? Because it doesn't exist. Do the work. One of those mouth breathing low lives has to have a photograph of Michael K walking past Cashman at like a coffee shop

on the road somewhere in some city. There has to be some sort of interaction between him and the general manager of the team. I don't know if you guys had the same initial reaction I had because mine was, and for the listening audience, you didn't see this Michael K. We had expelled video of him on his own show doing it He does his four-hour radio show with a suit and tie on well He's got to get to the Yankee game after that get it

You could take the jacket off take the tie off do it at least with the shirt and then like in the car or whatever Put that stuff on that's crazy But that's why Michael K is one of the goats because he can sit there and talk But that's why Michael K is one of the goats because he can sit there and talk baseball for four hours in a suit of all things and Still do four hours and then do another four hours after that machine. It's unbelievable the way that that the security guards at The stadium could make this happen if you have access to the cameras, you can absolutely prove that they've been next

to each other because at batting practice, you have all of the media members walking around near the field. If you're part of the broadcast team, you can walk onto the field right next to the cage. Brian Cashman has absolutely been down there. They have been within speaking distance of each other. If I'm someone who just works where I have access

to the security cameras at Yankee Stadium, I'm trying to expose this. I can't be getting paid so much that it's not worth getting that 10K. So two months, in the last two months, is he like, so I figured, that's a pretty specific time window. Why is he saying two months?

What happened two months earlier? Were the marching orders handed out then? $10,000 cash also shows you that he's like me, an old person. The idea that he's not going to give you a check, he's going to go to the bank, he's gonna physically withdraw $10,000 because I don't know if there,

there can't be ATM limits that will allow you to get $10,000 from an ATM. You gotta go in there, you gotta fill out a withdrawal slip. I don't know if the kids know what that is. You ever been to a bank and you see there's this little counter that has a pen tied with a chain because heaven forbid anyone steals these 30 cent pens? That over there is how you used to be able to take out money

and put in money, deposit money, you had to fill out one of those slips those slips dan i have a proposal for you i think we should match michael k well i wasn't going to match him i was going to add a hundred dollars to it because i'm afraid of multiple people being able to prove it i'm worried about michael k having to pay this dozens of times because he's underestimated that a number of people can prove that he has walked past the general manager. Because he said, if you can prove I've been next to him, is I think that if you're both going to the ballpark all the time, you might walk past each other at some point. Dan, you've just convinced me.

I'm going to match as well. It's an important cause to Dan, $100. I'm matching as well. I'm scared of it. I'm matching Dan. I'm scared of 100 New Yorkers appearing. I don't want to pay that much money. I don't want to be on the hook for... because what's gonna happen when someone proves this decay is he's gonna

say, no I meant, you know, that I got marching orders. That it wasn't an interaction. That it was me and him having a clandestine conversation where it appeared that I was bought and paid for. He said, quote, I've had... that you could prove that I've had any interaction with Brian Cashman, walking by him, saying hello. That's the dangerous one. Texts, anything, email, any kind of phone conversation. Walking by him, all you gotta do is basically get

like the juju Roger Goodell scenario, and that's it. That's $10,000 cash. The other thing that makes me think is, if he so sure, like it would be like me saying to someone, I'll give you whatever if you can find evidence of me and George W. Bush hanging out walking by each other. I know I've never met him, never been in his environment, so I wouldn't say $10,000. I'd say $100 million. I'll give you $100 million. Because I know there's no amount of money in the world

that would make me say, wait a second, maybe I did see him. With this, I think maybe he's not sure of himself. What about you and Diddy? Let's change subjects. Why'd you do that, Tony? Tony, like, I mean, honest to God, Tony, we are here with very few people and you are doing that to save us then minor penalty two minutes asshole you don't do that

you don't throw a titty in his lap Tony get out of here Get out of here! Eric Adams, he's never been better on the soundboard. That was unbelievable. I can't believe how good that was. I felt like I was at Universal Studios. I was watching Indiana Jones, that boulder's falling down on me. You're 12 years old again. Where are your eyebrows?

That's the best executive This is on the screen right now we're showing what Chris's idea of what Indiana Jones is You've got to be kidding me That's your that's your Indiana Jones Tony. Yeah That's your Indiana Jones? Tony? Yeah. All right. Try to come back.

The thing that I wanted to get to here, just excellently done, you distracted me by doing your job correctly and competently, and I don't mean to sound so surprised by that. It is. It is authentic surprise that you found a whip sound

that you've come with. It's not even that you're just doing it successfully, it's the timing. The timing is impeccable. I am always amazed in the movies how they sync up the fact that someone somewhere else is making glass crash in a way that sounds correct because the microphones didn't catch it the way that they were supposed

to be caught when they were making the movie so I've actually seen how they do some of that stuff and there are professional people who will step on glass somewhere professionally to make the sound of glass shattering or whatnot I was trying to talk about Eric Adams though, because evidently he was at a... I'm done. Howdy folks, it's Mike Ryan. I want to talk to you about the great taste of Miller Lite. I'm going to cut right to it today, because it's football season as you know, and there's

nothing more American than football and Miller Lite. It's a perfect pairing. I mean even chefs would agree that this is better than any dish I can cook up. The way that Miller Lite hits your tongue when there's gridiron action happening there's just nothing like it. And to know that you're holding that beautiful white can is to know that not only are you getting great taste but you're also getting beer that is less filling. Why don't you join me? Drink this beer while you're watching football and spend less time thinking about what you're drinking and spend more quality time with your friends.

Ah, that is Miller time. Make your game time taste like Miller time. Tastes great and is less filling. Let it be both.
