The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Local Hour: Deion's Favorite Kid

Episode Date: August 30, 2024

Today's cast: Amin, Chris, Billy, Jeremy, Roy, and Tony. Do we think Deion Sanders wanted to hear the positives or the negatives from his coaches after last night's one-score win over North Dakota State? Even without Dan, this show begins with Colorado football and an exploration into which of Deion's children is his favorite. Then, the entire crew makes attempts to infuriate Jeremy by criticizing UCF's stadium, and, unsurprisingly, it works like a charm. Are bounce houses overrated? Plus, Amin wants to see the new Christopher Reeve documentary once it's on Max, so the Shipping Container goes through the kinds of movies that can actually get them to the theater. Also, Rich Hill a.k.a. Dick Mountain made his return to the Red Sox last night, so we have a Top 5 Suggestive Nicknames In Sports. Learn more about your ad choices.

I do a podcast that's top 10 in the nation in TV and film reviews.

It's called Cinephobe. You might have heard of it. On Cinephobe, one of the segments we do is we read reviews from both the critics and the audience for the movies that we're about to review. But like your own reviews are the reviews of the movies? The reviews of the movies. So this week for instance we have Dirty Work,

the Norm MacDonald, Artie Lang movie from 1998. File, by the way. So before we get into breaking the movie down, we will read positive and negative reviews from both the critics and the audience, according to Rotten Tomatoes. But Zach will always ask me first, do you want the positives or the negatives? And I say I'm a glass half full kind of guy so give me the positives.

So I'm wondering yesterday as Deion Sanders walks in to his office after the thrilling Colorado versus North Dakota State game and he's sitting with his assistant coaches the whole staff is he wanting the positive reviews or is he wanting the negative reviews is a glass half full kind of guy or the glass half empty stop being a pessimist this glass isn't half full it's half empty the State, look, a lot of respect to them, they're not just some team that you pay to come play you and you roll over them. This is a great team on the FCS level. And they clearly have a lot of confidence.

But boy, let me tell you something, when they marched down that field and scored that touchdown in the first half, I was like, damn, hold on. That was quick. I mean, it was a level of quickness that wasn't, wow, we came up with some really smart plays or whatever. It was just like, yo, we're just as good as you are.

And I had to ask myself, is this North Dakota State being a great team that just doesn't get to compete on this level a lot? Or is this year two of Colorado, a lot of talk, really not that good? I mean, a lot of people assume Colorado's defense is not going to be very good this season. And that was an example there.

They have Travis Hunter playing on both sides of the ball and he is the best player in college football, bar none. Better than anyone in college sports. He's great on TikTok too. Good dancer. We're all gonna die. Why is he gonna die? Do you have specifics?

He played like eight billion snaps on both sides of the ball. Dog, you can't do that. The Shohei Otani of college football. Yeah, except they hit you. Right, that's crazy. But I mean, he's spectacular, but when you're giving up over 100 yards more

on the ground than you achieved yourself when you're Colorado and you're giving up 300 passing yards and they're completing what? It was 20 of 24 passes against your defense. Like I imagine Deon's walking in and going, give me the negatives because I'm frustrated by this, even though my guys pulled it out in the end. You know who I felt bad for?

There was a drive where the Bison were on their way down and they were just about to, I think it was a third down, probably like the 15 yard line. And then there was a late hit, a cornerback hit a wide receiver late on a bad pass from the Bison quarterback, Cam, whatever his name is, I forgot. And I look up, I'm like, who'd they throw the flag on?

Cam, I look, who's the flag on? And And I look up, I'm like, who'd they throw the flag on? Camilla. Who's the flag on? And then I look back and I see Sanders on the back of the jersey and I'm like, oh, it's the other son. That's not good. Extending the drive and then they ended up scoring a touchdown and I was just like,

that's not good when he gets back. Cause he's already like lower on the pecking order behind Shadour, right? I don't even know his name. What's his name? Shiloh? Shiloh. The lowest one is in that, it's the one that works in the social media department for the team.

That's the one. Like Deon has told us the rankings. He's told us the rankings. Shadour is number one. Or is the daughter number one? Somebody's number one. It's not him. It's not Shiloh. Social media kid is the last one. We don't even know his name. Yeah. Poor guy.

He doesn't get the... He's unranked, unnamed. He's not poor. You know who I thought... Yeah, poor guy. It doesn't get them. It's unranked unnamed. I Poor, you know why I thought hey a good point You know who I thought you were going with who I felt really sorry for Was for North Dakota State number 17 the cornerback because there was a play in the fourth quarter, I want to say and the Buffalo's are there it's a goal line play and It's a goal line play, and Shadour tries to run, and he gets rocked, and number 17 just starts yapping, just talking, letting him know, and I'm like,

yeah, this kid goes to a small school, but he's trying to let Shadour Sanders know, you're not so tough, I don't care who you got, who your dad is, or whatever, and the very next play is that touchdown catch by Travis Hunter, where he catches it behind the other dude's back. And they tumble and I'm like,

oh please don't let it be that same kid. And he got him and I'm like, damn. He looks back and he's like, did he catch that? Oh yeah, he caught that. Which means Shador was like, oh you're talking shit to me? Got it, where you at? Over here?

Targeted, now I know he's throwing a Travis Hunter which is, you know. A bit unfair. The safety blanket, right? Like, it's like Brett Favre, young Brett Favre with Sterling Sharpe. Just throwing Sterling Sharpe's direction. Something good's gonna happen.

But I just, the guy got up and the look on his face, I was just like, damn bro. You were about to be that guy. They got you too, they got you too. He was about to be that guy coming back home like, yeah, I'm the guy that told Shadur to go F himself. And then it's like, yeah, you're the guy that Shadur picked on the very next play.

Unbelievable. As of 2023, the rankings were Dion Sanders Jr., Bossy Sanders, Shiloh Sanders, Shadur Sanders, and Deondra Sanders. But then in February of 2024, on Shiloh Sanders' birthday, Dion posted on Instagram and said, happy birthday to my favorite, favorite son, Shiloh Sanders or not at number one, which is an interesting spot in the power. Interesting.

I don't know about these rankings. Yeah. I feel like there's a little bias going on. Bossy should be a little higher. All biases aside, rank the standards kids, Tony go should do or number two. Okay. Bossy number one clearly. Uh, Dion Sanders Jr. Is that the social media one? I think Dion Jr. Is the social media one, but I thought he was lower. He's got to be lower. Okay. So Shiloh is a safety. Yes. And then should door is a quarterback. Yes. Chris learning about the Colorado one-on-one. Here we go

That's all I got there me too Play for the team by the way, I'll lead up me too. That's all I had I'm not gonna lie. I got confused for a second cuz I saw a should I saw a Sanders had rushing yards I'm like, oh, there's a running back, but that's should door. Yes, the quarterback It's really good when you have the best player in the country basically in Travis Hunter where it's like, alright You're gonna go stop guys on defense, but then we're also gonna throw you ball 14 times on offense Like yeah, you're good. You know what go be good Travis Hunter number one Sanders kid You know what? Yeah, I know it says I like that me Travis Hunter's number one bossy. You're now number two should door three shallow for

Deon Jr. Man, if you out here with Final Cut Pro, I'm sorry, man. And you wear the Deon Sanders name? You're the junior? The junior, you're the one. You're the one. You're the chosen one. It'd be funny if they had a punter named Mark Sanders.

There's like a white guy. White guy. Like. But he goes to Thanksgiving dinner with them. He's got to watch him and Shadour, they're like. Now I got him with like his shirt tucked. Just kind of awkwardly there like my guys waving. No, but like this is, is this proof that Colorado again going to just disappoint everybody or how are we processing this? I mean I think the expectation was that they would just be an

average team this year. I don't think anybody anticipates they have two of the better players in college football. They have between Travis Hunter and Shudder Sanders, two of the top three NIL leaders in college football, I believe. They're great. But in college football, you can only be so great with two great players. And I think the expectation was that they'd be a middle of the road to lower tier big 12 team this season. That's exactly what they are.

Maybe could surprise people. They are even after that win, they are the 11th best odds to win the big 12. Out of 16 by the way, that's how many teams are in the big 12. What happened to just having a fun team? Right. Well they had that. They had that. They're a fun team.

They had a fun big 12. Sure, but like that's the thing. They were fun until they weren't fun. I think like I'm not saying you have to be the best team in the country, but you can't be a 500 team that's fun. Not in football, not in college football. In college football? I don't know man, Texas Tech had a lot of years

being six and six, seven and five, and being one of the most entertaining teams in the country cause they'd score 60 and give up 50. And the hope would be that maybe that's what happens here for Colorado this year is their offense is electric, but then they're giving up a ton of points. So all game long, you got Shader Sanders throwing for 400 yards every game.

That'd be fun. What's the end game for Colorado? Like if they trying to win national championships and they're not where they wanna be. No, Deon's gonna try to graduate. If you just wanna be in the headlines, I mean, you're here. Deon's trying to get his kid in the NFL,

Travis Hunter in the NFL, Shiloh in the NFL somehow, and then leave. Deon Jr.? Maybe. You mean leave for another bigger school? Deon, and then? Or just be done with coaching. Go coach in the NFL.

Oh, he wants, and then he's gonna coach. Go follow his kid. There you go. There you go, open. Yeah, Football Illuminati coming soon. The other thing I was thinking about while watching that game was last year, what we talked about a about a lot is like wow look how small Colorado is compared to like actual football schools So I thought like they were good this year. They're gonna upgrade it and I'm watching yesterday

I'm like they don't look much bigger than the North Dakota State kids They still look small It looks like a thin offensive line Which is kind of a point where you can look at and be like, all right, the big boy teams, the Alabamans, the SEC level programs, Michigan, who just won a championship, obviously have monster offensive lines. And then I look at Colorado's offensive lines like Chideur, like the same size. And I'm like, wait, it's like 1960 where the where you'd have those three down linemen. And then all of a sudden they're like 200 pounds. Yeah, they stand up and they're just a little a little heftier than the quarterback. I'm like, God, what's happening here? It gives me pause as far as like, I thought Dion supposed to be this amazing recruiter, right? Is he not recruiting linemen? Is that what's happening? Lineman isn't sexy. I mean, he he recruits sexy for the audio audience

Tony says Lyman aren't sexy and Billy looks up from his laptop and silently just pointed so that's true, but it was off Mike so it wasn't helpful Why does Colorado have like that asphalt like like do they have like like skateboarding competitions on the weekends like you know what? I'm talking about like against the wall like that thing. What is that there for that? Just seems like a waste of space and dangerous? I don't know maybe it's for like a band like a band show back in the day But then they just covered it or maybe like everyone signs it Maybe it's you know like something you know sometimes

I'll have that thing where it's like hey who came to the game today, and they oh Conan O'Brien's signature is on the wall and stuff like you know you see this at the cobs the game. Yeah to is it so wallow. Yep cam was cam at the game. I think so Yeah, no, look, there's a who's who they're still drawing. I thought for sure That there would be some cold water on that hole the who's who coming to the Colorado game But now they're still that'll only happen if they start Two and six or whatever they might do here. Cause I believe their over under is five and a half wins for the season.

So they might not even be a bowl. The celebrities know they've learned a lesson. Show up for the games that you know they're gonna win. Well, if they, I know, I know last, yesterday ended up being close, but I think they were expected to win that one. You know what's funny? There's, there's a level of this that's galaxy brave.

So follow me here. Going to a Colorado game is now like a prestigious thing. It's a, oh, you were at the Colorado game on the sideline? That's a big deal, right? Yes, right? And we've also established the games you go to are either earlier the ones that we think they're gonna win when we think they're still good.

Meaning the end of last year's games, no. No one wanted to go. It wasn't a big deal. But when you see a picture of someone on the sidelines, nine times out of 10, you don't know what game that's from. Ipso facto, if Colorado has another collapse, I propose that we go to a Colorado game and be on the sidelines, get the pictures taken,

and then just wait till the next year where it's like it's prestigious again. Like, oh yeah, me and Tony, we're there on the sidelines, get the pictures taken and then just like wait till the next year where it's like it's prestigious again like, oh yeah, me and Tony, we're there on the sidelines, yeah, you know. We posted in March like, thanks Deion, brother forever and we're just there kind of like next to him. Yeah. It works. In the NFL, there is no margin for error.

Make it even easier on you, they'll be in Orlando playing UCF in just a few weeks. So we can just head up a few hours north and be on the sideline with Dion. Nobody will know where you are necessarily. And it's easy for you.

You don't even have to go to Colorado. Jeremy, let me just say this right now and to the massive audience on YouTube and also on Max, if your children are listening or watching, tell them the cover of the years. UCF stadium sucks. Couldn't disagree more. Wow. I can't tell. Did you bleep yourself there? He did. He's a pros pro. He gave us the duh and then kind of tailed away. Couldn't disagree more. Bit of a spectacular stadium, the bounce house. Small little can at the end. One of the best in the country.

Isn't it called the bounce house because when it's filled and rocking, it feels like it's gonna collapse? Yeah, yeah, but like by design. I don't like a design above your feet. It doesn't feel like a design. How about this dirty house? This is what it feels like.

How big are you? I want no bounce, no sway. I know that that's not safe. Like in an earthquake, you want a building that can sway because if it can't sway, then it's more dangerous. But they're in Orlando, there's no earthquakes in Orlando. The idea that it was on purpose, that sounds like the kind of thing that,

that sounds like me censoring myself and then asking, did you censor yourself? Yeah, I did that on purpose. I do think that it's more like they made sure after they realized it was bouncing that it was at least structurally sturdy that like hey How do you test that oh hey, let's get enough people bouncing in the stadium. Yeah, it's fine But what about 60,000 and two so you were the test? I'm with you. Yeah. Yes, absolutely

Because I was there when there were no fans there as well of 18 wheelers with 30,000 pounds of crap How's the bridge exactly right? they were just accounting for like well Everybody has two passengers they weigh about 180 to 250 pounds like well We only need this bridge told carry the four It's a carry about 6,000 pounds and then boom 2518 wheelers all of them with 18 tons It's something like you know the entire Alabama offensive line is on Coming over the bridge. And oh no, we never thought there would be this many people

300 pounds or more, and then that's what collapses it. Do you like that expansion they're doing to your bounce house over there? They're putting like a building on the outside to look like it's part of the inside, to make it look like a real stadium. It's very confusing. They're just trying to give extra luxury seating

to the boosters and such. And I kinda like that we have- It's a shitty stadium. I love our stadium. It's awful stadium I really do I think the the location of it's great and I think that the atmosphere is great but you're not gonna get me to say anything else like I'm obviously I am why go because I love it it's it's great I love my school I love my program I love the way that the stadium feels when it's packed I was there for college game day in 2018 and it was one of the most electric atmospheres I've ever felt in my life.

And it gets loud, cause you're right there on the field. Jeremy, listen to me. You and the rest of college sports, enough with the shitty stadium that has nostalgic value. Go build something nice. It's not even nostalgic value. It doesn't even have nostalgic value.

It's just simply a stadium that's built on campus that is to me that element of the fact that it is not a hundred thousand. That was shade in Miami by the way. Well yeah, I mean come on, you need an on-campy. On-stadium. A legitimate program. I mean come on.

I mean have you been to the Bounce House obviously? I have, yeah. So you had to get driven to the stadium. Bounce House is overall. Because of how far it is inside of the camp. As somebody who was told to go home from UCF, the mall and the lawn is seven miles long and you have to walk 18,000 steps to try to get into the stadium. And then there's no back of the seat.

So you're sitting on bleachers like literally give me a break. Also bounce houses overrated. Bounce houses in general. You miss one stake, they go flying, five kids are dead, they make a documentary. You make a $30 million deal. You ever try to get in there and like grab your kid, like walking in a bounce house, not easy. Oh no, you stand at the door, you stand at the door,

you stand at the door and you say, get out of here. I've been in there before trying to get her and like you don't look more awkward than when you're walking in a bounce house. I don't think it's so much shitty. It's that like, and Jeremy will disagree with this because it's not positive towards his university or stadium.

It doesn't really have character. It has zero character. It's just like, it is a generic, generic ass stadium. It's like build a program. It's a bleacher company's wet dream. It's just like, let's just build bleachers as high up as we can, put as many rows as you want, no backs, we're good.

It's terrible. Now the positive thing. I could not be more upset right now. The positive thing I'll point out. Give me time. We went, as I said a couple years ago, Georgia Tech at UCF, we parked in a church that's not, that's like Tony said, seven miles away from the entrance to the stadium.

And in the church, they were giving out free food. Like it was just free, here, here have some Chick-fil-A. I was like, really? And I was like, I've never experienced that anywhere. How can you argue this stadium has characters? There's like one section where it's like, here's our character, yellow seats. The rest is just weasels.

It's not about that. It's literally just about what it feels like there. It's not just my memories, it's anyone who goes to the stadium. I've been to the stadium. Yesterday, Master was here saying, what an incredible experience it is. is till getting at the program how great the stadium it ever come on nobody nobody You have a master master ball. That's a different story. You can't ask my guys don't like college football You just said it when master become the one that exactly

You guys all just said you don't like college football. You don't like dealing with the nostalgia of college football. This is a great on-campus stadium that is a spectacular experience for anyone who goes there. Anyone who likes college football enjoys that moment. I don't understand what we're doing here. Also, yesterday, the rare time that you win by 54 points and run for 450 yards and feel terrible about your victory.

Can I tell you something? Yes. You know, I mean, how you know that the stadium doesn't have character and that this is like, you know, they're looking for a thing, is the play that happens that's very popular now where they have 67,000 different uniforms and you're watching a game, you're like,

which team is UCF? I don't know which team is UCF. I don't know who just scored because every team, they're in a different uniform. No tradition. Exactly. That's what okay. Yeah that's what teams with no tradition do because you're just searching for an identity. We have the identity the whole premise. Oregon did that because they could never get over the hump. But they're also night-team. They are never gonna win so let's just have a lot of flashy uniforms. Oh my god. Yeah Oregon has an FIU guys. Oregon has you guys organ has an we have like seven uniform combinations ridiculous You also wait for by the way their stadium more character

Not wrong There you go, you're just unbelievable you just don't get a journey I'm unbelievable you're unbelievable X for my friend John who went to UCF. He says, we sound absurd right now. Oh. OK, he went to UCF. Wait, is he talking about Jeremy? I feel like when you go to UCF, you

choose to root for UCF's football team, they remove part of your brain. So let me get to my point. It really wasn't about UCF. I told you you could get more upset. That's stating. I am. You said it about three minutes ago

and now I'm fuming right now. But some of these places quote unquote have personality and I think they gotta go too. Years and years ago we had Mike Shachefsky on Highly Questionable. Coach K. And so I wanted to ask the question, when are you guys gonna finally put some money

into the program and get a new building? And Dan literally was like, absolutely not. You cannot ask that question. And I said, well, what are you, oh, we're gonna upset Mike Shachesky. If you've been at Cameron Indoor Stadium, ladies and gentlemen, or if you haven't, excuse me, it's a dump.

It's a dump. You know what other places are a dump that people just glaze all the time? The Carrier Dome, Syracuse a dump. It's a dump. You know what other places are a dump that people just glaze all the time. The carrier dome, Syracuse dump, no way. See, I heard dump, but I know a carrier. They don't have a seat. That's what I heard. I know multiple people. I want the Syracuse and I think they don't have a C in the carrier dome, but at Cameron indoor, they slap the court. They could do that anywhere. Chris,

they could just playing good defensive slap on the floor. That's just playing. Do you do that anywhere Chris. That's just playing good defense and slapping the floor. That's just playing good defense. You can do that anywhere. Now the flip side is they seem to put a lot of money into practice facilities because I saw this video of Northwestern's new practice facility and I don't% of the media all went to Northwestern. That's right, by the way. I don't know, where's my camera? Right here? I don't know if you people know this, sports consumers. If you wonder where all the biases come from, I'll tell you right now. They all went to Northwestern or Syracuse. All of them.

Greeny, Northwestern. Right? Rachel Nichols, Northwestern. Mike Wilbon, Northwestern. Le? Rachel Nichols, Northwestern. Mike Wilbon, Northwestern. Lefkoe, Syracuse, right? You go through the list of all your play-by-play and host people, you're like, oh, that's another one?

And now it all makes sense. It all makes sense. So they try to convince us that Northwestern is a thing. Oh, it's a Big Ten school and they're coming up and all that shit, right? Mm-mm. That's not a good school, football-wise. But they're-

It's a good journalism school, though. Great journalism school. Great journalism school. But I'm gonna tell you this. Their football practice facility they just built, I would've been fooled. As a 17-year-old, I'd be like, oh my God, I gotta go there.

It's on the water, but because they got some sand there, it makes it look like it's at a beach. I'm like, oh my God, you guys have your practice facility right onto the beach? Yeah, but it's Lake Michigan. It's a lake. Exactly. And it's freezing 90% of the time.

It's freezing most of the time you're there. So it's like, this is all trickery. Smoke and mirrors, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah. I thought you guys could only make me feel like this during heat season. Why? I can't believe what's happening right now. You sound more ridiculous now than you've ever felt in heat season. Yeah, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah. I thought you guys could only make me feel like this during heat season. Why? I can't believe what's happening right now.

You sound more ridiculous now than you've ever felt in heat season. Yeah, you really do. This is ridiculous. Mate, you understand why people who don't go to UCF would think that it doesn't have a lot of character. Like, it doesn't give off, like, it's not, like, you see Tennessee football game.

Sorry, we haven't existed since, like, segregation. But you understand it then. It's not that crazy what they're saying. Like, Tallahassee, Doke Stadium, that's a dope ass stadium. That's got character. I don't like the Seminoles. We kicked their ass, I don't know if anyone heard.

Are we talking about character versus like actually being a good stadium atmosphere? No, it's a great stadium atmosphere. He's talking about the bones. When you're walking up though, like do you feel like, oh I'm at a college environment right now. Well I do, when you walk across,

yeah when you walk across the campus and you see all of the tents and the tailgating and then you walk down Knights Plaza and you there's the cheerleaders in the band and you walk over to the stadium it's an unbelievable atmosphere and yeah you feel that buzz of college football I've heard it's no FAU stadium oh my god oh we had the appetizer last week, but now it's time to feast.

We've upset Jeremy here. He was back here during the break. He was like, you don't know how many false starts we've caused. F**k you guys. Oh. That last Superman, the Quest for Peace one, that was. Superman four, the Quest for Peace.

Yeah, that was terrible. Yeah, I have to be Superman four, the Quest for Peace. Look, this was the original comic book movie blockbuster. Those Christopher Reeves Superman movies. Like that was, hey, you can take a comic book character and you can make a summer blockbuster, it's gonna make a shit ton of money. And you can cast big time, big names, like Gene Hackman,

like Richard Pryor, right? And the guy who played Superman, who really looked a lot like Superman, as we imagine him, as we see him in the comics, was Christopher Reed. And they made, was it four of them? Four of these movies, Roy? The fourth one wasn't so good.

No. Wasn't even made by Warner Brothers. Oh yeah? No, it was made by Canon. Oh, Canon, that's right! Oh, shit, go to Cinepho for more Canon trivia. but wasn't even made by Warner Brothers oh yeah no it was made by Canon oh Canon that's right oh shit go to Cinephore for more Canon trivia Canon pictures those guys are a bunch of scammers but the basically this star of the movie Christopher Reeve who is basically synonymous with Superman in

the same way that if I say Tony if I say Iron Man who do you think of the actor yeah Robert Downey jr. I was gonna say Tony Stark but yeah we got there right so it's like that it's like there is no other Iron Man like they could try there might have been Iron Man was cast in some other smaller movies or whatever before they might do it again later especially with all this multiverse bullshit but now he's what's his name Dr he's, what's his name? Dr. Doom. Dr. Doom. Guess what?

He's gonna be Dr. Doom too. Right? Like, that's how strong that character is. That's what Christopher Reeve was. He was Superman. And then as Jeremy in eloquently pointed out, he was in this awful accident. He's a big time horseback riding.

Like he's into question sports, fell off his horse, severed his spine, complete paraplegic, paralyzed from the neck down, right? There's a new documentary that's coming out, it might already be out, called Super Slash Man, the Christopher Reeve story, and it's about his life following that accident. Like it's a little bit build up to all the things

you know that he did prior to you know when he was acting and then from then on and you know the guy had a family. He had like a bunch of kids. One of them was Will Reeve who's once worked with us at ESPN and now is on like Good Morning America. Right? That's right, I've heard about that. Yeah, yeah I was watching Good Morning America and I was like dude I, I've heard about that. Yeah, yeah, I was watching Good Morning America

and I was like, dude, I remember doing sports and hits with this guy. And this guy's doing Good Morning America and I'm stuck hosting the Levitard Show. Yeah. What is my lot in life? Tragic term. Yes, tragedies.

But it's one of those things where I saw the trailer and I have to admit it looked incredible. It looks moving. It's definitely something I don't know. Right? I'm big on learning from my documentaries. But I also saw that it is a Warner Brothers production, which makes sense. Superman is a Warner Brothers character because DC Studios is owned by Warner Brothers

Which led me to think to myself. It's a documentary It's being released like in a couple of weeks By wait a little longer. It's got to be on max It's got to be on max and so this is the type of thing where I'm gonna wait until it comes out on max. Oh, you don't wanna spend the money at the theater? It's not even spending the money at the theater, Roy, although that factors in.

I like sitting down at home and firing it up on my TV and being able to pause and have subtitles on and go to the bathroom and do all these things. The movie going experience is just inconvenient. But because of that, I realize I am also complicit in deteriorating the movie industry. Because it's people like me is the reason why they can't make diverse movies.

They gotta make a certain kind of movie because they know that's gonna make money. But everything else, there is no home video they're gonna make up on the backend. So in two hands, I mean, you have propped up the movie industry by creating content around it, yet also tearing it down by not going to the movie that you're going to be talking about possibly in a couple years after that to prop up said movie industry again. Yeah, I mean, like, I am both a champion and a villain to the movie industry. Hollywood should embrace me and also chastise me,

castigate me. Wow. Should be purged. My dear brother Noomsy. So in that vein, what is the thing that makes you guys say, you know what, I am gonna get up and go to the movie theater and pay money to watch this?

Deadpool versus Wolverine, I got up and went did to I was like I gotta watch this um Black Panther That's the last time he's 20. No that would be an example of something I think okay got you looking for something to do on a Saturday with my kid really I think I'm gonna be forced to see Moana to in theater. Oh, I'm definitely doing that's not a force though I'm excited about that one. I'm excited about that too. But again Disney Plus Yeah, but you gotta wait. No, they play they They on the big ones they make you wait a little longer than like the 30 days or 90 days or whatever

It's a good point. Yeah, they'll make they'll make you wait on that one. I can't do movie nights at my house anymore Why not? My couch is too comfortable Stereotypical like my wife's like Chris and I'm like, I'm not sleeping I'm on the phone like get off the phone right ever drop your phone on your face. Yeah, Yeah, literally every night. Yeah every night Yeah, almost every night. I fall asleep. That's what you know. It's pictures of the bounce house Yeah, fall in your face exactly that's like well It's interesting a bunch of people who don't want to go to the movies in person or talking to me about an in-state in-state That's fine Man this do you call the movie theater the bounce house to like this movie furious?

All right, Tony do you you guys should Mission Impossible, any Mission Impossible I go to in the theater. Definitely. Oh, I learned my lesson. I learned my- Any James Bond I go to in the theater. I learned my lesson on Mission Impossible because I didn't go to Dead Reckoning. You fool. And then I watched- I went twice.

I watched it on the plane and I was cursing everyone. I said, nobody made a big enough deal about this. I, we saw- Mike did. No, he didn't. He did not make a big enough deal because then I went into the chat and I said, nobody made a big enough deal about this. And we saw the- Mike did. No, he didn't. He did not make a big enough deal. Because then I went into the chat and I said, why didn't you tell me? This is the best Mission Impossible ever.

And he's like, no, it's like the third best. I'm like, what are you talking about? It was fire. It was fire. So I went once in the theater when it came out and then it was still out when I went to Greece last year. It was around the same time. And then we saw it in when I went to Greece last year. It was around the same time.

And then we saw it in a beautiful outdoor cinema in Greece. It was amazing. It was an old school, like 1940s. They had a projector. And you had like a little stand. You'd go and get it. It was like four bucks. And you're like, oh, a bunch of Greek people.

And I was like, this is amazing. And like studio chairs, like the ones that the directors sit in. So you would sit there. They had a smoking section and non-smoking section, which all became smoking section because we're outside, so the wind's blowing. And you're in Greece, they don't follow the rules there.

Exactly, everybody's smoking. But it was awesome, we saw it on a, literally like a sheet that they put up. Oh, like a white sheet? Like a big ass white sheet. Like the commercials. Like you know the commercials where it's like, it's like an Allegra commercial or whatever,

and it'll be like, hey guys. In a bathtub, watching a white video That's exactly what it was if you ever in Santorini I'm gonna see if I can send out whatever the the chinama's name is amazing little place But I saw dead reckoning there again my god Wow, second time magical that buzz that felt magical right like that's what Tom Cruise wanted exactly I'm you know what? Top Gun, I went to the movie for two.

I went to the Top Gun, the movie for two, it was during the finals, I had the day off, I was like, I'm gonna go to movies. And I watched it, and I gotta admit, like Top Gun was cool, but I walked out, I was like, it was Top Gun. Like what do you mean? Well, they updated the technology,

but it was pretty much Top Gun. Like, I watched the same movie. But it saved movies. It was, well, it did save movies. It made people want to go to movies. But then now I'm saying much Top Gun, like I watched the same movie. But it saved movies. It was, well, it did save movies. It made people want to go to movies. But then now I'm saying, hey Hollywood, it's on you to make movies that make me wanna go to the movies, but then I also think to myself,

wait, that's why we're in this condition to begin with, because I've basically told Hollywood, yo, if you're not making Mission Impossible or Deadpool, like I'm not going to the movies, but then I'm like, we're all the art house movies and like the documentaries and stuff. Well, they're all getting made and I'm waiting for them to stream.

So I'm part of the problem. I feel guilty. I feel real guilty. Don't beat yourself up, it's okay. Hey Jeremy, what's Dick Mountain? What? Ah, I've been wanting to talk about Dick Mountain all day and you guys forced me to talk about the bounce house.

Dick Mountain is Rich Hill, the pitcher for now, the Boston Red Sox. So Rich Hill is 44 years old and made a start yesterday for the Boston Red Sox and I couldn't be happier about it. But he has one of the best nicknames in sports which is Dick Mountain and so I actually have a top five nickname suggestive nicknames in sports potentially suggestive nicknames in sports that also exaggerate too because you know Dick Mountain is a, O-L-I, Big Poppy. Yes. Number five, Flash Gordon.

What's suggestive about that? Flashing. Yeah, canoes. Oh, I thought you meant like he got done real quick. Number four, Hammerin' Hank Aaron. Number three, Dick Mountain. Number two, Randy the Big Unit Johnson. Double there. Number one, Mordecai Three Fingers Brown.

Oh, Lord. Is that, okay, just to be clear, forks up for three fingers round? Wichita State. Oh. Arizona State. Arizona State. If you're on a team for the fourth time, is that like the same as being in a relationship for the fourth time?

It's different, right? Like, after, you're like, Rich Hill, let's give this guy a go for a fourth time. What was that, three divorces? That's a gimmicky thing, right? Like, after, you're like, Rich Hill, let's give this guy a go for a fourth night's time. Three divorces. That's a gimmicky thing, right? You're just like, ah, we can get Rich Hill, put him in a relief, he'll pitch an inning, and boom, he has a record, 20 straight years, whatever. Yes, it is, but it's like if you were the one

who was broken up with and they got back with you, as the player, right? Because they're the ones that have the choice, really. So it's like, hey, baby, I'm sorry, I'll be different this time. I can't stay mad at you, and you get back. That's what it's like. He struck out two guys in just an inning and a third.

Bet he did. Which is pretty spectacular. I mean, it's crazy, he's 44 years old and just throwing absolute slop up there. And I think it's pretty impressive that a guy like that can still play in the major leagues. I don't know. I mean, but baseball's the sport of like old guys, right?

That's the sport. Not as much anymore. So much of it's about like max velocity and athleticism and guys are not having the same length of careers and it's in large part because guys like Richell aren't valued the same way anymore. Well, that's why a guy that just throws slop is valuable. Cause you just throw anything out there and they're like,

oh, and they don't know what's coming. They thought it was going to be something fast, but instead it was slop. By the way, the open air cinema in Kamari playing Bob Marley, One Love. Okay. They're playing Mamma Mia. Of course, every year.
