Starting point is 00:01:14 Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow in it. Shadow in it. 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
Starting point is 00:01:30 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?
Starting point is 00:01:51 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.
Starting point is 00:02:09 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.
Starting point is 00:02:29 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?
Starting point is 00:02:44 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
Starting point is 00:02:59 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,
Starting point is 00:03:15 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.
Starting point is 00:03:27 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
Starting point is 00:03:46 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,
Starting point is 00:04:25 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.
Starting point is 00:04:40 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
Starting point is 00:05:08 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.
Starting point is 00:05:23 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?
Starting point is 00:05:43 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.
Starting point is 00:05:56 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
Starting point is 00:06:26 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,
Starting point is 00:06:36 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.
Starting point is 00:06:50 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.
Starting point is 00:07:01 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
Starting point is 00:07:34 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"]
Starting point is 00:07:55 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.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Evan Schlongoria. Schlongo. You want more? Where are we? Is that number two or are we still on O.L.I.s? Dicky Thong. That's uncomfortable. You want more?
Starting point is 00:08:36 Where are we? Bernhard Wenger. I think I'm good. Luol Dong. Oh wow! Oh man. Luol Dong. Oh wow! Oh man! Luol Dong. This is the Don LeBattor Show with the Stugats Podcast.
Starting point is 00:08:59 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.
Starting point is 00:09:22 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.
Starting point is 00:09:40 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
Starting point is 00:10:17 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
Starting point is 00:11:00 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
Starting point is 00:11:43 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.
Starting point is 00:12:07 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
Starting point is 00:12:31 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
Starting point is 00:13:08 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.
Starting point is 00:13:25 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
Starting point is 00:14:17 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
Starting point is 00:14:40 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.
Starting point is 00:15:06 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.
Starting point is 00:15:16 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
Starting point is 00:15:34 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.
Starting point is 00:15:48 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.
Starting point is 00:16:04 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.
Starting point is 00:16:18 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.
Starting point is 00:16:30 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?
Starting point is 00:16:42 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.
Starting point is 00:17:01 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
Starting point is 00:17:24 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.
Starting point is 00:17:42 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
Starting point is 00:18:07 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,
Starting point is 00:18:34 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
Starting point is 00:18:54 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.
Starting point is 00:19:11 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.
Starting point is 00:19:28 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
Starting point is 00:19:45 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!
Starting point is 00:20:08 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.
Starting point is 00:20:28 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.
Starting point is 00:20:47 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? Time to layer it up a little bit, change the wardrobe. In Miami, a little bit of a different story, but across the country when I'm traveling, I'm getting those layers in.

I have a thousand impersonations. That's not bad man.

This is the Don LeBathard Show with the StuGards. ["The Stugarts Show Theme"] Denzel's, he's like slightly older
Starting point is 00:22:40 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.
Starting point is 00:22:53 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
Starting point is 00:23:12 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.
Starting point is 00:23:35 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.
Starting point is 00:23:50 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,
Starting point is 00:24:00 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.
Starting point is 00:24:11 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
Starting point is 00:24:32 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?
Starting point is 00:24:47 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
Starting point is 00:25:02 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.
Starting point is 00:25:17 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?
Starting point is 00:25:34 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
Starting point is 00:25:53 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.
Starting point is 00:26:07 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
Starting point is 00:26:24 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.
Starting point is 00:26:37 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
Starting point is 00:26:59 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
Starting point is 00:27:30 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
Starting point is 00:27:53 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,
Starting point is 00:28:12 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.
Starting point is 00:28:26 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.
Starting point is 00:28:39 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,
Starting point is 00:28:59 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.
Starting point is 00:29:15 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
Starting point is 00:29:34 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
Starting point is 00:30:06 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.
Starting point is 00:30:21 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,
Starting point is 00:30:36 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,
Starting point is 00:30:50 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
Starting point is 00:31:05 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
Starting point is 00:31:37 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.
Starting point is 00:31:51 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.
Starting point is 00:32:17 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,
Starting point is 00:32:36 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.
Starting point is 00:32:58 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.

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
Starting point is 00:42:42 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
Starting point is 00:43:12 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
Starting point is 00:43:49 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!
Starting point is 00:44:11 Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Starting point is 00:44:19 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
Starting point is 00:44:38 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 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 fellow, where he's a jolly good fellow, where he's a jolly good sung that song since the 20th century, ma'am. But how did that locker room of players know that song? All of them.
Starting point is 00:44:46 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.
Starting point is 00:45:01 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.
Starting point is 00:45:20 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.
Starting point is 00:45:32 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.
Starting point is 00:45:52 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,
Starting point is 00:46:10 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
Starting point is 00:46:22 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
Starting point is 00:46:51 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.
Starting point is 00:47:09 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.
