Tony, I can't imagine that you haven't been dying
a little bit inside as you get makeup here,
that you have had to wait here
for a little while with the group to talk about the idea
of John Bones Jones winning a fight with a spinning leg kick
to Stipe's body that just, when you knock out,
or I guess it wasn't a knockout,
because he only went down.
TKO, Dan. Yeah, when you knock down somebody with the guess it wasn't a knockout, because he only went down. TKO, Dan.
Yeah, when you knock down somebody
with the pedigree of Stipe.
Stipe's still at it, huh?
He is, yes.
Not anymore.
Yeah, probably not after that.
Really, hung him up?
He did actually, he hung him up.
I can't, I cannot think of a more graceful way
to feel like you've won a fight I cannot think of a more graceful way
to feel like you've won a fight than with a spinning leg kick.
That's using the three largest muscles in the body,
the quad, the hamstring, and the glute,
to take someone out with your foot
because you're so good at what you do
that you can take out a giant dude
to the body with your foot that way.
Not only that, he had tried it earlier in the fight
and it had landed a little bit closer to the thigh.
So he's like, oh, wait a second, I can do this again
because he's not gonna suspect it again.
And then when he did it, we saw his entire,
Stipe's entire like left side just kind of cave in.
And then I was trying to do the math.
I was like, is the liver on that side?
Is the liver on the other side?
Was it a liver shot?
Was it not?
No, he'd be in the hospital if it was on the other. I was like, is the liver on that side? Is the liver on the other side? Was it a liver shot? Was it not?
No, he'd be in the hospital if it was on the other side.
Luckily it wasn't the liver,
but he did lacerate his kidney and his spleen
and broke ribs with that back spinning kick.
I honestly, and this is not a sarcasm or a joke,
I would rather just get knocked out cold
than experience that kick.
That looked so painful.
Chris, would you rather get kicked like that
or get hit by Ray Lewis coming across the middle?
Ooh.
With pads?
Take Ray Lewis.
That kick looked like you lose your air,
your ribs are broken.
Like, I just, that to me looked as painful
as anything in fighting.
How about Derrick Henry getting a 20 yard head of steam
and you have to tackle him?
No, I'm not doing that.
Well, that doesn't hurt though.
Oh, it has to hurt.
Guys, guys, guys.
Are you kidding me?
Guys, a heavyweight went down and to the hospital
with broken stuff that doesn't break
when Derrick Henry runs over you
or when Ray Lewis hits you over the middle.
Like when you get, I don't think you guys know
what it is that that knockout was or not
I keep calling it a knockout even though it's a TKO the the the idea it's a technical knockout so
yes thank you yes the idea that you would start a kick uh I man I've learned so much about like how
the body on athletes are connected and the amount of strength that a pitcher gets from his feet
so that the ball is whiplashed at 104 miles an hour
from his hand and that kick, which starts in the floor
and John Bones Jones' ridiculously strong base
for him to break ribs on that dude's body
when he's just perfectly timing, hitting him with the foot in a way that none of us would think would break ribs on that dude's body when he's just perfectly timing,
hitting him with the foot in a way
that none of us would think would break ribs
looking at it, correct?
Like, you don't know until Stipe goes down
how much that actually hurts.
Yeah, because it happens so fast, right?
That you see it and you're like,
oh my God, he got him.
But then once you see the slow-mo,
and obviously everything is worse than slow-mo,
you see like this side of his body just kind of like goes sideways and you're like, ooh, there's stuff there that
doesn't move. So the way that that moved on slow-mo wasn't great. The thing is, John has so many
different things, right? So many different weapons to attack. He's got great feet. He's got great
hands. He's got length. And that was some of the part with Stipe where he was trying to get in the
pocket with John and box and stand on the feet.
But the issue is John is so long that he would just put his arms out and
kind of just like paw at him.
Like, no, that jab's not gonna work.
I'm hitting this.
And then all of a sudden, Stipe's like, all right, I gotta get in.
He got clinched against the fence.
And then bam, that's spinning back.
He does that so much with the pawing that he eye gouges.
And people hate him because of how much he eye gouges doing that pawing stuff.
I just watched the video right now.
Steve has two right hips now.
He knocked his hip to the other side.
You guys would agree that it's totally unsatisfying
to see one of those fights end with somebody
getting down on a body shot, correct?
Like, I imagine that you guys want head shots
as people who are just looking for blood loss, no?
I think generally, I agree with you,
but that one in particular looked so painful
that I was just impressed with it.
He has two right hips.
Yeah, you mentioned that.
See, the hip, we hit him so hard, the hip,
and then I went inside.
Shifted to the other side.
Tony, how often do you see a fight
ended with a spinning leg kick?
It's rare, spinning leg kicks are rare.
There's been spinning elbow spinning back
hands that have worked too. But again, the majority of people don't have the capability
or the body strength and control to try those. And even more so knock people out with those
shots, right? Like those have to be super sniper level, like precision perfect.
Well, you're leaving yourself, you're turning your back to exactly exactly. You got to be super sniper level, like precision perfect. Well, you're leaving yourself, you're turning your back
to a heavyweight.
Exactly, exactly.
You've got to be careful.
You missed.
You missed.
There's another one coming back at you.
And then all of a sudden, you're waking up like, what happened?
Oh, you did the spinning back kick,
and the guy kicked you in the back of the head.
Shahra Bullitt and Amarga Madoff,
who had a spinning, a double spinning elbow, right?
So he went this way with an elbow with his left over
and then the guy kind of dodged it,
but then he came back around with his right elbow.
Wow.
Oh.
And he won.
It was incredible.
Can I go around the room and have everyone try
to say that name that you just said?
Don't repeat it.
Khabib's brother.
Don't repeat it, don't repeat it.
I wasn't listening though.
Khabib's brother.
Did I say that right?
Yeah, it's not his brother.
Okay, Khabib's relative. Down the line yeah. Okay go
ahead Stugatsi you try first. I didn't hear the name. That's fine just try
first. He could say it again Stugatsi. Well that's true but I don't want to. Khabib. No it's his brother you weren't listening to
that part either. Kaboob? Oh names that canote. Well actually since you said that thank you
I mean top five time now for top five Stu gots his list of top five athletes who still come up can note penis
Is that what you're gonna do again?
Big show this is the big show. Well, the other show is the lesser show. This is the big show
What do you have here top five?
They're just people in sports
and what their names would be if they were a penis.
I like it.
Chubby Smith.
["Jingle Bells"]
James Hardon.
["Jingle Bells"]
I'm nervous.
Nervous.
Yeah.
Is it because of how everyone is just staring at you?
Penis Ellison.
Wow. Penis Slaughter.
Evan Schlongoria.
Schlongo.
You want more?
Where are we?
Is that number two or are we still on O.L.I.s?
Dicky Thong.

This is the Don LeBattor 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.
I don't know about the rest of you,
but over the last four years,
right about when the pandemic started,
I feel like we started all as a group,
noticing more that people are just generally selfish.
Robert Package.
Thank you.
I don't feel like it deserved the fanfare.
Robert Package.
Like, working, was he working real hard on that
for the last 24 hours?
Tommy Johnson.
Mark Bolger.
Oh wow.
George Forskin.
Oh wow, hey! Penis freedom.
Taylor Gooch.
Sorry.
Since the start of the pandemic, I feel like people have been takers more than, or it's been more overt that people are selfish. So I'm telling you today on the one day a year in Miami
where people are really encouraged to give, givemiamiday.org, which is a day in
which all of your donations are a hundred percent tax deductible and
they're an assortment of charities that can help locally that are doing really
good and important work to underserved communities. I am recommending to everybody listening to this
to partake in givemiamiday.org and just an easy way to help if you have some
disposable income because
Dave Lawrence, the former publisher of the Miami Herald back in the days when that meant something to be a publisher of a newspaper
in the days when that meant something to be a publisher of a newspaper has been doing good and charitable work in this community like giant work for a long
time to help people and I just want to put it in front of everybody and our
audience because this money does go to a lot of good causes and I wanted to ask
the group because I was watching last, and it was a history lesson that
me, and I think Stugats and Amin lived, maybe Roy too, but I don't know about the rest of
you, when I ask Tony and Chris and Jessica and Jeremy, when I ask you guys what you think
of Ted Turner, the name Ted Turner.
What do you know or what do you think you know about the name Ted Turner?
It's okay to not know anything here.
This particular documentary that I'm talking about on Max is about an old person that interviews
a whole bunch of old people, but Amin and Stugatz and I know that this person, among
other things, invented cable television.
And so I don't know what you guys know
about the name Ted Turner or what it means to you.
So can anyone give me an idea of what working knowledge
you have on something that has already become history
even though it was happening in the 80s?
I had Turner Sports, so you said the one thing I knew.
I had Ted Bundy, wrong Ted.
The Atlanta Braves?
Do you want a serious answer?
I just want to know what you guys know.
I mean, I majored in television in college, so yes, I know Ted Turner.
Okay, but let's see here.
I don't think that you...
Look at me, Louie, that's the one i was looking for a fair is what she does
about the majoring in television in college
uh... yes but there are a lot of other things that he did uh... that made him
uniquely ahead of his time he also invented the goodwill games but in terms
of aspirations and what it is that he had, he was looking very, in very
real ways to end nuclear threat and feed all children.
Like in terms of ambition, his ambitions were giant.
Owning the Braves was very small.
He gave a billion dollars to UN-related charities
because he was so aggressive about trying
to legitimately make the world a better place.
Did he also want to pay the teachers and save the whales?
I mean.
He saved the bison.
He saved an entire species of animal.
Wow.
He did giant things.
He was way ahead on climate change and everything else.
And the reason I bring all of it up is watching him and this documentary,
which it's got some fat in places and it is slow if you have an attention span that needs perpetual stimuli.
But the things that he was doing were enormously groundbreaking in a number of different ways, but giving, and
giving in the way that I'm asking the audience to do on givemiamiday.org was at the center
of almost everything that the man was doing, and it's a level of ambition that seems totally
insane because it's not like he was a brilliant man but he
was continually betting his fortune on these giant bets and the reason I bring
it all up is because my god would he be wounded by what's happened to CNN like
CNN which came into the forefront because they were covering a war better
than the major news networks as he was trying to fight his way into the forefront because they were covering a war better than the major news networks as he was trying to fight his way into the television game against
to got
would get it like five hundred million dollars in debt and you'd be like
how does that person sleep at night
how how how do you sleep at night
with five hundred million dollars
in debt
i suppose we could probably ask uh... the next president of our country who is
bankrupted i don't know four to six places is that money even real at that
point like oh I owe five hundred million dollars who what are you gonna do you're
gonna come get it sure like let's do a payment plan
it's 500 years I feel like if someone owes you five hundred million dollars
you kind of messed up you're the one that messed up not the guy who's who's
owes the money they're never seeing that messed up. Not the guy who owes the money.
You're never seeing that money again.
You're never seeing that money again.
You got it, got it.
At some point, maybe after the first 100 billion,
you should have said, okay, let's slow down.
He paid everyone back.
Did he?
Yes, he managed to pay.
He got out of debt.
Sucker.
He managed to pay everyone back by winning the bet.
He was worth $10 billion at one point
because he made cable television matter
and not only would he be mortified
by what's happening at CNN,
I guess is he's mortified by cable television collapsing too
because a whole bunch of things
are falling apart all around us.
How about the Braves?
I mean.
Be happy about that.
The Dodgers are dominating.
He'd be generally happy about where it is
the Braves were last year.
Talking about him like he's dead.
Yeah, they threw me off at the Wikipedia.
Like, is he still with us?
$80 fine.
No, Dan means his mental faculties.
Obviously, maybe not all the way there.
He's an older person.
Spoiler alert, it ends, it's sad in that
regard where age comes and grabs us all.
But yes, he is not yet dead. I'm sorry I was speaking as if I was Spoiler alert, it ends, it's sad in that regard where age comes and grabs us all,
but yes, he is not yet dead.
I'm sorry I was speaking as if I was eulogizing him.
I was just watching a documentary about his life
that Jessica didn't need because she majored in television.
He was married to Jane Fonda, Dan.
He was, yeah.
That's correct.
They got divorced.
You guys remember Jane Fonda?
Had the fitness tapes with aerobics?
Remember Jane, she's still out doing stuff.
She's not dead either.
Bobberella.
She was in 80 for Brady a mere two years ago.
That's right, she was in 80 for Brady.
She's on TV all the time.
Is she on TV all the time?
Yeah.
I don't wanna say all the time.
Fonda Sports is totally different.
Put it on the poll please.
I'm Fonda Sports.
Is Jane Fonda on television all the time?
Were you guys aware, I was not aware until yesterday that Denzel Washington
said that he's been sober for 10 years,
that he used to drink two bottles of wine a day.
I was not aware he had a drinking problem.
Man, making that movie Flight must have been something.
Yeah.
That was an alcoholic palette,
that he was playing that movie.
I'm drunk right now.
He, he.
What a scene.
10 years, he was drinking two bottles, I'm drunk right now. He, uh, he, what a scene. 10 years he was, uh, drinking two bottles. I'm sorry.
Sober for 10 years and was drinking two bottles of wine.
But the next choice is that Denzel is making,
he's doing Black Panther. He's doing Gladiator.
He says that in Gladiator he kissed a man full on the lips and it was cut out of
the movie.
He said apparently people aren't ready
for Denzel Washington to kiss a man on the lips.
And he's also doing, and forgive me for forgetting this,
I should know it, it's almost like a just
giant man violation, his famous action franchise.
Equalizer?
Equalizer.
Sam, come on.
I know, my bad, I felt terrible.
He apologized. Just saw three over the weekend. I I know but he apologized front end I mean three has a
lot of subtitles three has a lot of subtitles in Italian he's in a
beautiful spot over in Positano where he has to go and make sure that the mob
isn't doing the things that they're doing to all the small business all the
local people exactly like he just happened to be there and he didn't like
how the mob was cheating on the local people I like three three was a good. Is that the one with the hurricane? No, that's two
That was a ridiculous fighting the Russian mob in that one in a hurricane. That was a ridiculous ending to that movie what?
Him fighting in a hurricane like come on what's wrong with that come on
Anyway, what I was saying is he's doing four and five
Anyway, what I was saying is he's doing four and five.
Thank God. He has signed up for four and five
because he's capitalizing on this recent trend
where he's like, well, wait a minute.
If all the action heroes get to be 50, 60 and 70,
I'm a giant movie star.
And I don't know if he's gonna make any of those in Italy,
but it seems like Denzel Washington makes a lot of choices
because he just wants to spend a lot of time in Italy
where I'm guessing he was getting
some of those two good bottles of wine
that were giving him a problem before 10 years ago.
But you're excited about all of these moves
because this is, we can agree, right,
that if we were making a list of top 10 movie stars
of all time, Denzel Washington is on it.
Top 10 all time.
Oh, without question. I think everyone would put Denzel in their top 10 actors of all time Denzel Washington is on it. Top 10 all time. Oh without question, I think everyone would put Denzel
in their top 10 actors of all time for sure.
Top three probably.
Absolutely.
Dan I'm surprised that you went with Denzel,
used to drink two bottles of wine a day,
when one of the other things he revealed in that interview
was I used to shoot dope.
He was on the Heron.
That's shocking. Wine, two bottles of wine?
Eh.
A lot of people doing that.
Shooting H.
I mean, Popovich is doing that.
Hey, I'm drunk right now.
But doing hard drugs, I don't know,
maybe this is my naivete,
but Denzel would never do hard drugs.
That guy, he's straight out.
Family man. Family man, right? Wait a minute, what does it mean doing? But no Denzel would never do hard drugs that guy like he's straight
I'm a man family man, right?
Wait a minute
What is a mean doing because a mean got really mad at me one day when I said I can't imagine
To a doing a whole lot of bad stuff off the field and a meme was like that's ridiculous
Why would you assume that anybody's public persona is a real thing and you got mad at me?
But Denzel you're willing to buy on.
Denzel's different.
But he did heroin!
He also did heart condition.
Yeah, but we're reading that about Denzel
whereas we're speculating about Tua.
Yeah, I mean it's Denzel who's revealing that to us
now after all these years.
But that was, I mean that to me was the most shocking thing
that came out of that, not I used to be an alcoholic
or whatever.
The most shocking thing to come out of the last
10 minutes to me is when you all agreed vigorously
on top three, top five, top 10,
I saw a single raised eyebrow in the back row.
You better not.
Of cynicism and.
You better not.
She wanted to speak into existence.
Who is it?
He said she!
I was going to say Roy.
Willow, that was disrespectful.
Alright guys, the seasons are changing.
You know what that means?

Don LeBattard.
No one else here is willing to do a Trump or a Biden.
That's not true, Dan.
Okay, Tony, you can catch up.
I have a thousand impersonations. That's not bad Dan. Okay, Tony you can catch up. I have a thousand impersonations.
That's not bad man.
Finally.
Pretty good.
Stugatz.
Yours is terrible. You just gotta get a little redder. A little pinker.
You're right there man.
Yours is not.
You're Biden.
What do you mean?
That's actually not bad. His is good. That's not terrible.
We gotta come together.
A little southern twang there.
A little Bush.
A little George Bush in that one.
This is the Don LeBathard Show with the StuGards.
["The Stugarts Show Theme"]
Denzel's, he's like slightly older
than the movies that I connected with in my 20s.
You don't have to apologize for this. He's a little too old.
You don't have to apologize for this.
He's 70.
Actually, he's 69, nice.
She has Glenn Powell in her top 10.
No, I don't.
But maybe someday.
Top 10 from the summer for sure.
Someday soon.
I do wonder, is this generational
or do we have to take the history of the movies, right?
Because not a whole lot of people talking about this
are gonna mention the Rock Huttsons and clark gables and the people from a
million different
a million years ago is made up names so how old but but how old
uh... how long before denzel washington's a made-up man because he's he's only
like thirty years after them
where he starts and so
to to a generation at some point den Denzel Washington's gonna be Clark Gable in Rock Hudson.
I majored in film, so I know who Clark Gable is.
Yeah.
Gone with the wind, come on.
Clark Gable.
That's Ted Turner.
Ted Turner.
He got back and majored in television.
I have here IMDB's top 10 actors of all time,
and I will tell you you Denzel comes in.
This is just actors, not actresses.
He comes in right at 10.
On their all time list.
I'd like to hear who they have above Denzel.
Yeah, yeah.
Do it backwards.
Do it backwards.
Do it upside.
Do it from 10 to one.
And why is it just men?
Like,
Well, I think I could have done actresses.
If I put actors here.
All right, so, but I was movie stars
is what I was looking for.
Just movie star names, but okay, let's do actors.
Number nine, Paul Newman.
Got it.
Number eight, Anthony Hoffman.
The salad guy?
Salad dressing.
Number seven, Tom Hanks.
Number six, Dustin Hoffman.
No.
Stigatz is gonna like the next one.
Number five, Daniel Day-Lewis.
Number four, Adnanans gonna like this one Al Pacino
Adnan will also like number three Robert De Niro
Number two Marlon Brando hmm, that's that's an ad
Jack Nicholson Wow
and that's my pick also. And number one, Jack Nicholson.
Wow.
Jack Nicholson.
Terrible list.
Number one?
Terrible list.
No Stallone.
And it says the actors are on this list
are ranked according to their lifetime success
along with acting skills, versatility,
and role transformation.
Yeah, Jack Nicholson really does role transformation.
Every single act that I do goes like this
and I'm Jack Nicholson and I don't actually have to do anything else
but do this thing right here,
and I do my eyebrows,
and then I die and a rat comes around,
and all of a sudden we win an Oscar.
I actually, I take back what I said.
He's definitely on my list.
I forgot about Remember the Titans.
Ah, there we go.
I don't know how,
but my parents took me to see that in theaters.
A little young for that movie.
Didn't an NFL team just do the celebration
that they didn't remember the Titans in the end zone
where they do the, what was the team
that just did that a couple of weeks ago?
I thought it was the Chiefs.
Didn't DeAndre Hopkins do it?
Was it the Chiefs?
Was it the Falcons?
I thought that was from the replacements.
No, it was from Remember the Titans.
It was just the... It was DeAndre Hopkins the it was just the it was Deandre Hopkins
Yeah, yeah Deandre Hopkins with the chief. Thank you. Yes. He was on the Titans
That would have been the easy way like I don't know what is that called where it is that you have cues for your memory to
Help you
on things. That would have been a...
It would have been...
Donnie Mnemonic.
How can I...
We talked about that on Tuesday.
Dan doesn't like Keanu Reeves.
He's on my list.
How can I not remember the Titans
when he was doing Remember the Titans
and he used to be a Titan
and he's the only relevant thing from the Titans
that has happened this entire season?
And I had all the clues there and I still forgot.
One of the funny things that happened
in the Ted Turner documentary,
he didn't mean to do this,
but he was talking about,
and this is happening to me now,
his memory loss issues,
and he was like,
I have Alzheimer's and I don't remember
the name of the other one.
And he wasn't joking.
Like, he was saying,
that's what he was saying.
Good joke though. Well, he didn't mean it as a joke.
Then he started laughing at himself.
I would recommend again, if you don't like slow and old,
I will not recommend this.
But if you just want a history lesson
on a fairly amazing person,
I would strongly recommend this documentary
because it's
just moving to see someone care so much about peace and giving and it's hurtful
to see someone losing so badly in this modern age when he was warning us 40
years ago of what it is that was headed this way uh...
related to movies
amin
says
that and i don't know why he says this but i did hear everybody all of a
sudden
in the stew gotts wheelhouse of talking about rocky which is the only movie
stood out ever wants to talk about it Saying that the Jake Paul, Mike Tyson fight
resembled to him, Rocky VI.
Jessica, you did not major in Rocky in college.
You have admitted that you've never seen
any of the Rocky movies, correct?
Not a single one, Dan-o.
So explain how it is, I mean, to the people
who do not know what Rocky is, why it is
that Jake Paul and Mike Tyson felt to you like Rocky VI. Okay, first of all, people know what Rocky is, why it is that Jake Paul and Mike Tyson
felt to you like Rocky VI.
Okay, first of all, people know what Rocky is.
They may not know the details of Rocky VI,
they know what Rocky is.
They know the premise.
They know the premise, but in Rocky VI,
which is called Rocky Balboa actually,
it's technically not Rocky VI,
Rocky is an old, kinda like Mike Tyson.
He's like retired, but everybody knows. Past his prime. Not even past his prime, he's an. He's like retired, but everybody knows.
Past his prime.
Not even past his prime.
He's an old man who's retired, but everybody knows
who he is, he's got a restaurant,
and when we go to the restaurant, they love Rocky.
And so there's this hot new young boxer
named Mason The Line Dixon, right?
Because writing.
Great name by the way.
Writing is superb on this movie.
And they do the thing, I think it's actually Max Kellerman,
because they have ESPN in the movie,
where they're doing the thing with,
well how good would he be against the greats of past?
Like, oh I don't know, Rocky.
And so they make this whole simulation on like NBA 2K,
where he fights against Rocky, and he wins,
and then Rocky kind of takes a little offense,
and he's like, you know,
I don't think it would go down like that,
and next thing you know, Rocky's coming out of retirement.
He's training to fight Mason the Lion Dixon, who's in his prime.
And it's a great fight.
I think Mason Dixon wins, right?
Yes.
He wins, right?
But it's like also it's not like a knockout or anything.
Everyone in the court.
Yeah.
Everyone praises Rocky for like basically an old man not getting your ass knocked out.
And I was like, holy shit
That's exactly what happened. They literally just lifted the entire plot from Rocky six for this fight because we did simulations and we said
Oh, he's gonna kill him and all this stuff
I'm like and all the old people are like Rocky's gonna win all the young people like it's impossible and then we get in
The ring and it's like alright, like he's not gonna win. But also you're not going down
He's taking these head headshots like a champ
Like he's not gonna win but also you're not going down. He's taking these head headshots like a champ
So I just wondered like why didn't anyone connect those dots at any point in this process? And then Roy tells me I did and he showed me the tweet that he did. Mm-hmm
Yeah, man, I made that joke right in the middle of the fight
Like this is a worse performance and then Rocky Balboa did with Mason the lion addiction
When I knew things were cooked is not when he walked into the ring and was a little slow
whatever when they panned over to Mike about to walk out and he had a knee brace on I was
like ooh that's a bad look.
You can't wear the knee brace.
Nobody wears the knee brace.
You gotta limp in.
You gotta just pretend.
Without the brace.
Gotta go without the brace.
You have to.
One of my favorite things from that fight was Roy Jones saying,
I don't like his legs.
And I know what he was doing.
Someone was like, he just repeated the same thing.
He was like, you know what he's doing?
Roy will know this from Cinephobe.
He's doing Cobra formula, because he wants someone to say,
what's wrong with his legs?
And then he would explain, but nobody took the bait.
So he just kept saying, I don't like his legs.
And everyone just kept sitting around like, all right, cool.
You don't like his legs. I noticed during that sitting around like, all right, cool. You don't like his legs.
I noticed during that fight,
the importance of broadcasting chemistry.
When they throw it to Rosie Perez,
and she'd just say, that's right.
And then there'd just be this silence sitting there
because she wasn't.
They were expecting more.
Well, she knows boxing.
It was a matter of chemistry between the participants
and talking at the right time and not wanting to admit,
not that there was much action but not
Wanting to be talking over action you mentioned Mason the lion Dixon as a great name what line not lion line
Dixon
Mason Dixon lion, thank you Mason
The lion Dixon you guys mentioned that as a great name. What is right now?
regarded as the greatest name
anywhere in sports?
Because I saw a nominee make an appearance this weekend
during the Raiders Dolphins game
because Divine Diablo is a pretty.
He's incredible.
That's a real name.
Hold on.
Divine Diablo, it's a pretty great name for a football player. And he. That's a real name. Hold on. Divine Diablo.
It's a pretty great name for a football player.
And he's an excellent linebacker.
He's always in the right spot, always making a big tackle.
He's very good.
Is that as good a name as LSU's linebacker, the Honky Badger?
Ooh, wait, Weeks.
Number 40.
What do you guys have for me in terms of names across sports that you like?
Stu Gatz has told me before that there are certain names that as soon as he hears them
he would sign that person to a quarterback contract without knowing anything else other
than their name.
Jackson Dart, one of those names.
Dallas Comma-G's for me was a power forward early 80s to Paul, my favorite sports name
of all time. It's a great name, agreed. I'm DePaul, my favorite sports name of all time.
It's a great name, agreed.
I'm just surprised that that's what you're going with.
I can't help it.
Jackson Dart, okay, put it on the poll, please,
that LeBataar show, Juju, better sports name,
Jackson Dart or Dallas Comma Gs.
Or also put up there Divine Diablo, because it's a strong.
Well, that's gonna win, Dan, I mean.
It's a strong name, but it's a strong name for a linebacker.
Also put Mason the Lion Dixon up there for me as well.
Roy, you stop laughing at me for a second,
because I got something for you right now here.
Oh, no.
Yeah, we were surveilling and listening,
and as we always are around here,
while you were doing something the
other day and I also would recommend to the group Ronan Farrow has a documentary on surveillance if
you want to be really scared about how everything is listening to you right now and we're all doomed
in terms of how our information is going to be used against us shortly. Stugatz here for my friends

I'd like to play for you guys and I'm hoping I'm surprising all of you when I do this.
We all know that Jim... jim harbaugh is uh... unusual
jim harbaugh has recently done a very easy smart thing we just says justin
herbert is not only one of the best quarterbacks going today is one of the
best quarterbacks of all time and cost him nothing to say that it's just a good
move for and everyone can talk about his quarterback
And whether he is as great as Jim Harbaugh says he is or not
Are you saying Jim doesn't believe what's coming out of his mouth?
I'm just saying that showing belief in your quarterback maximum belief in your quarterback is not anything that's gonna cost him other than us thinking
Oh, Jim Harbaugh strange, which we already thought anyway, so it doesn't matter
He's just creating a discussion point that brings attention to his quarter back and i'm actually of
the belief that he has brought relief to his quarterback who was the face of the
franchise
is kind of boring on purpose during interviews because it doesn't seem like
you want that seems like he just wants to ball so hard what comes in here and
he comes in over his quarterback any praises in this way
even by the strange standards of
Jim Harbaugh and winning will cover up a lot of things including Corny I am
stunned by what happens at the end of this high-five video in an NFL locker
room you guys tell me if you see the ending of this coming because what
breaks out in a celebration you've just beaten Joe Burrow at his best you are one of the best teams with one of the
best records in the league Jim Harbaugh is happy this locker room is happy this
is not how I expected a locker room celebration in the NFL to end This is going to be one of the best high fives ever. Give each other a high five!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Where he's a jolly good fellow, where he's a jolly good fellow, where he's a jolly good
fellow, where he's a jolly good fellow, where he's a jolly good fellow, where he's a jolly
good fellow, where he's a jolly good fellow, where he's a jolly good fellow, where he's
a jolly good fellow, where he's a jolly good fellow, where he's a jolly good fellow, where
he's a jolly good fellow, where he's a jolly good fellow, where he's a jolly good fellow,
where he's a jolly good fellow, where he's a jolly good fellow, where he's a jolly good

But how did that locker room of players know that song?
All of them.
That is a big up thing.
From watching Clark Gable films.
He also did this at Michigan, too.
They did this in the locker room after the national championship
game, I'm pretty sure.
This is just one of those Harbaugh things, like the,
who's got it better than us?
They just do weird stuff.
I don't know what to say.
You know, Harbaugh has taken your whole quarterbacks.
Once they throw an interception, get off the field.
He's taking it to the next level.
Justin Herbert is not allowed to high five anyone.
He doesn't want him to hurt his hand.
I mean, this guy, he is prepared for everything, Harbs.
For he's a jolly good fellow.
So strange.
I'm with you, Dan.
Is it Little Caesar?
Was that the movie with Edward G. Robinson?
I think so.
And then he's like, he does this when they sing.
Remember when he used to do this?
He's like, hey, thanks guys, thanks fellas.
He'd do a little fish shake.
I'm trying to think of something
that could have broken out older
in the Chargers locker room
from a retirement home in the 1970s
more than what broke out in four,
he's a jolly good fellow.
Allow me to try.
The camp town ladies sing this song.
Do da, do da.
The camp town races five times long,
oh, do da day.
Gonna run all night, gonna run all day.
That?
I got it.
Trailers for sale or rent, room still at 50,
so that would have been old too, come on.
Hang on, Sloopy, hang, Sloopy hang on.
What happened?
What is that?
That's old, I don't know.
Yeah.
Oh.
I think For He's a Jolly Good Fellow's older
than all of these.
1862. You guys are doing a very poor job of coming up with something better than for he's a jolly good fellow
That's not bad right there that's not older than for he's a jolly good fellow
It's not but it's better than trailers for sale or rent
It is but your dad is the only one who sang it
with that kind of intensity
throughout the last 40 years of your life.
Like that, I don't know how popular that song is
for communal singing.
Let me ask you guys this, that list of actors,
greatest actors that Chris gave us,
you guys did notice that Denzel snuck in at 10,
but everyone else was white, right?
Yes, of course. Which made me feel like Denzel snuck in at 10, but everyone else was white, right? Yes.
Which made me feel like Denzel snuck in at 10,
just because everyone else was white.
DEI.
It's like my top 10 list, but in reverse.
Jessica has a top 10 list of greatest actors ever as well.
And it's even whiter.
Number 10, Andy Serkis. No. The great British voice actor. Ever as well and it's even wider number 10 Andy circus no great
voice actor number nine John Rhys Davies
He also played Gimli in Lord of the Rings number eight Sean Bean way
He also was Boromir and Lord of the Rings. That's a good number seven Viggo Mortensen. We all know Viggo. I've heard of him
I'm sensing a trend number seven Viggo Mortensen. We all know Viggo. I've heard of him
He's also Aragorn in Lord of the Rings
Number six or Ian McKellen one of our one of our finest actors of all time
Happened to play Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings
number five Billy Boyd
Pippin in Lord of the Rings yes, but he's been in some other movies as well, but he was also Pippin. Number four,
Dominic Monaghan. He was in Lost, also played Mary in the Lord of the Rings. Number three, Orlando Bloom.
The Caribbean, of course, also Legolas in Lord of the Rings. Only on screen for like 10 minutes, right? Got the entire trilogy. That's not true. That is. No, there's just no way that's true.
Look it up. Keep doing your race.
That's not true. That is no there's just no way that's true. Look it up. Keep doing your race.
The two towers chase where they're hunting for the hobbits is more than ten minutes alone.
The camp town races are in my head. You argue with her, you're wrong, and then you tell her to look it up. No, I'm not wrong. I just don't believe that that could be true. I'll look it up.
How about that? Okay. You're gonna look it up? He's part of the fellowship.
And he said continue your race
I think what you're confused about is that he's not on screen with Frodo
Pretty much at all keep doing your list. I'm gonna look at number two Sean Aston
Dig in a pool he was also Samwise game
And number one Elijah Wood
Best actor of all time would the fifth anniversary and number one Elijah Wood. Frodo, the ring bearer. I love him so much. North.
Best actor of all time.
Wood, the fifth anniversary.
Hmm.
When is too early with the Christmas trees?
Now.
Pre-Thanksgiving.
Yeah.
No, you get, a week before Thanksgiving you're good.
No.
Right now?
Yeah.
Trees can go up this week.
Let's celebrate Thanksgiving first and then we move to Chris exactly
Yeah, I stand corrected
It was ten minutes in the first movie, but across the trilogy on screen for 30 minutes. You're sitting down
