Episode Date: June 5, 2024

Today's cast: Stugotz, Billy, Lucy, Chris, Jeremy, JuJu, Roy, and Tony. Greg Cote went viral for TWO different takes from yesterday's show, and the crew has no choice but to react on his behalf, but first, JuJu has to put up several poll questions on Stu's behalf. Then, SportsCentre in Canada is furious with Greg's take about "Connor McOverrated," and now that the story has gone viral internationally, the crew begs Roy to ask McDavid about the comments. Plus, a local news station picked up Greg's flag story, Billy feels like we're being watched and also has a body wash story, and Lucy is mad no one noticed her haircut.

Put that on the poll. We'll get to your father in just a second, Chris Cody. He is the center of the media world right now and he has never been happier. This freaking guy. Can we slightly reset for a moment? Good morning, Juju, how are you today? All right, how you doing, my brother's interested.

Good to see you guys. What are you doing? I said good morning to Juju already. No, you didn't. You just said, Juju, put this on the poll. No good morning, no greeting. I mean, the show started. You're like, hey, everybody, Juju's here.

Juju, good morning. Put this on the poll as well good morning, no greeting. I mean the show's started. Like hey everybody, Juju's here. Juju, good morning. Put this on the poll as well. Do people who aren't from Florida think Sunrise Florida is paradise? Yes. Yes. Juju's filling out that Flanagan's jersey. You look like you could go out and hit 350 right now.

You feel me? Too many mystery, Craig. We got a little challenge going on, you feel me? Really? Hell yeah, salute the Naked City Pizza also. Okay. Juju, good morning. You feel me? I tune in to Mystery Crave, we got a little challenge going on, you feel me? Really? Hell yeah, salute the Naked City Pizza also. Okay. Juju, good morning.

Also put this on the poll. Okay, I smoke a lot. Let's pace for these polls. Yeah, a little slower, a little slower. Juju, I'm just trying to clean up yesterday's show because Jess made a, she made a statement, I agree with her, is the foul on Caitlin Clark the most covered foul in the history of fouls Oh boy. Yeah, it is Really?

Yes, malice at the palace There were several fouls there, but it was a fight it wasn wasn't, you know. It was a beer flying onto a plate. No, no, it started with Ben Wallace's foul on Ron Atest. Right, yeah. And then on Hillbrook. And then Tinsley came out with a... With a broom. Dustman, Dustman.

Jamal Tinsley. Ohio State Miami, past interference. That's a good one, right, Walt. Not a foul. Is it the most discussed foul in the history of fouls? I don't know. It is, and I just wanted to stop, please. I'm tired.

Did, uh, when you were watching the Malice at the Palace and you saw Steven Jackson's involvement, did you ever say to yourself, I will be a coworker with him one day? Because I did not. No. Okay. No.

Who had that, Billy? I don't know if anyone had that thought. A lot going on that day, but never did I think that would be an outcome of that. I've often thought that if you could take life bets, like I think that couple's gonna get divorced. Like if somebody, if there was like a life bet, like at that time you could've said,

I wanna bet that I'm gonna work with Steven Jackson one day. You probably could've got some good odds on that. Oh, no doubt. Really? Do you do that with your wife, by the way, as it relates to other couples? Like they're never gonna make it. Oh, man, I was gonna say, because in your marriage, you're in control of that. Like if you're taking do that with your wife by the way as it relates to other couples like they're never gonna make it You're your marriage. You're in control of that like if you're taking a bet with right will we get divorced one day?

You're a hundred no one likes to talk about their marriage. They love to talk about other people's marriages though I mean It's just the way we are should go to a wedding and be the bookie to take bets on what everyone in the room Thinks the odds are over under yeah overers. Yeah, over-unders on years. Just give them particular favorites. It would be great. Your thing is being the shady person outside of the wedding.

Like, hey, anyone want any action on this? Anyone want any action? Speaking of weddings, salute to Stephanie and AJ out of New Jersey. They sent the whole show some invitations to their wedding. They're getting married tomorrow. Holy moly. I didn't get an invite. Well, hold on. They're getting married tomorrow, holy moly. I was surprised.

I didn't get invited. Well, hold on, when they said they were getting married tomorrow? It was a show invite, it was a show invite. Oh, okay. When did they send it? Uh, it was just dated. I didn't screenshot the date.

It's okay. But it's tomorrow and it's happening. Where is it? Congratulations, in New Jersey. After Miss New, uh, Catch Carterette, New Jersey. Yeah, all right. I sent them a thank you note for inviting me. Wait, you got one? Yeah, they spelled my name wrong.

I forgive them for that. Where'd you see it? We got it at the office. Really? In the mail? Yeah. Was it just for you? No, it was for everybody.

Where'd they go, IE? No, they went, they spelled my last name wrong. They switched the letters. I was gonna say Lucy's hard to screw up. Did you spell their names wrong in the thank you note? No, I gave them a sticker of the T-Mu Tony with the picture of Taylor. Wow.

I'm not gonna give you an actual gift because I don't really know you that well. I bought someone a can opener once that invited me to their wedding. I found their registry and I got them a can opener. Really? I wanted to get them something for inviting me, but I don't know you that well.

I'm not gonna break the bank. They had a can opener, so I got it. It's something they wanted, right? Exactly right. It's on their registry. What do you want me to do? Stu got gummies. I remember what the second poll was,

but I don't think Ruel remembers what the second poll was. I don't think I remember what the second poll was. Hold on, let me see if I have it here. Do people who aren't from Sunrise think Sunrise, Florida is paradise? We're back. Yeah. I think it's like the Florida Keys.

Yeah. Can we as a show. Sawgrass Mall. Way to late get a load of Sunrise, I mean. Can all of us that are here today enter a pact together? Depends. Now here's the problem, is that this now implies that we will be friends for a long time.

And I don't know, you know, life doesn't always work that way, right? Like I'm not friends with the same people I was friends with 10 years ago, 15 years ago, whatever. Right? But this is a long-term pact that I like to get in on with everybody here today, if possible. And it goes back to what we were discussing

a little while ago with Steven Jackson. Can we make a pact that over the next two years, if we're still, you know, working together, friends, whatever, in two years, over the next two years, if we're still working together, friends, whatever, in two years, over the next two years, we each get one incident that we all claim I will be a coworker with that person moving forward 10 years from now. You know what I mean?

Or we can just move on to the next topic. Let's actually move on to the next topic. I will never be coworker of Selma Hayek. I will never be her coworker, never. I will never work a coworker of Selma Hayek. I will never be her coworker, never. I will never work with Holly Barry. I think it's the opposite though. No, it's the opposite. It's the opposite.

You wanna manifest it. Oh, exactly. So like Gypsy Rose Blanchard or whatever comes out of prison and you're like, I'm gonna be a coworker. No, she's out. Yeah, and then it happens and you're like, I'm gonna be a coworker of hers one day.

You know what I mean? I can see that happening. Can you? Yeah. Really? What if we go into the entertainment space? I would love that. I think I'm gonna work with Nick Cannon one day. Oh Okay, really set the bar high, huh? Wow, I can say I just had that vision of it I don't know what I'm doing a different game, but that's fine. You can manifest being Nick Cannon So after all this blows up Mike sure gets me like some internship somewhere

We're like sure this blows up and then you get an internship I'm gonna use my relationship with Mike Sherr to try to get a... Wait, if this blows up, but Tony's right, like we all stop, like, you're gonna parlay this into an internship? Non-paid position? Guys, I don't, I'm not gonna like, he was gonna make me a director, but like, I gotta start somewhere.

It's a new industry for me, I can't just go to be like an executive producer somewhere. Of course you can! I'm sorry. I gotta work my way up in the movie, in the film industry? Fake it till you make it, kid can. I'm sorry. I gotta work my way up in the movie, in the film industry? Fake it till you make it, kiddo. Chris is a man who's worked his way up, doesn't rely on connections. Right.

So he says, you know what, I'm gonna go and I'll start as an intern. Right. What Hollywood experience does he have? Why should he think that he's just all of a sudden gonna be working? It's a gag. He's going to put in the work, he works hard.

Who are you gonna work with? I don't know, I have two years to say, the point was there was an incident. Right. And then when that incident happens, I say, you know what, I think I'm gonna work with? I don't know, I have two years to say, the point was there was an incident. And then when that incident happens, I say, you know what, I think I'm gonna work with that person one day. The incident hasn't happened yet. I have two years.

To figure it out. I also am realizing now that one, I didn't think of this game until I started coming out of my mouth. Two, it's not a good game to play on a show that's not gonna last for two years. Not that the show's not gonna last for two years, but this episode's not gonna last for two years. So fore show is not gonna last for two years But this episode is not gonna last no for two years so foreclosure in this situation right no trust me

This segment feels like it's two years long. Exactly right. I'm gonna say the audience is gonna be more than happy that this show doesn't last two years Okay Your dad your dad Chris He's in all his glory right now. He is the center of the media world. Everyone's talking about his takes. I'm insanely jealous of him. Set up the first one here. It is his take about Conor McDavid being overrated. So yeah, he wrote a column while admitting on air that he's watched Conor play probably

less than six times. He wrote a column calling him overrated, saying he's played long enough, best player in the league. How is this your first Stanley Cup final pretty? I don't want to call it. Just it's just a guy trying to do a thing Right. I mean, that's all my dad's trying to do there the stats He poured through all the stats your dad did again He hasn't seen him play less than six times at the point right point is doesn't matter look through the box score saw that He was great looked at the championships score, saw that he was great, looked at the championships, saw zero, said overrated. It was a take that I was kind of not the proudest of, but now that it's getting traction,

and we're about to play a clip here from Sportscentra, not SportsCenter. It's still center. I know, but it's spelled with the R-E's. It's centra, though. It's Canadian. It's better, it's center. It's a lot of guys.

It's like theater, theater, like E-R-R-E. Theater. Centra, I'm with Chris. That first part is spelled with C. In Canada, their sports center is spelled with an R-E, and they ran with my dad's clip, here it is. Is this the most ridiculous hot take ever? This is Mick Ridiculous, absolutely.

I said, I'm all about click bait, reader engagement, pandering to the home crowd, I that and maybe it's working because here we are talking about it So it's mission accomplished, but I give you know anything about hockey and I'm assuming Greg might You know that one player no matter how great he is Cannot get it done and win a Stanley Cup on his own not McDavid not anybody But McDavid clearly is anybody, but McDavid clearly is the greatest player in the game. He is generational. He's one of the best offensive players in the history of the game already. He has proven that

beyond a shadow of a doubt. So Greg, I'm sorry. This is preposterous, outrageous, ridiculous, and just flat out wrong. So I know the Miami crowd might eat it up, going up against McDavid, but if you are a hockey writer, some point you're gonna look back at this article, this headline, and say, mm, that was not my finest journalistic moment, because this is just ridiculous and wrong. I said all that yesterday. You don't know Greg Cody my friend

You know, it's ridiculous that audio quality me Maybe it's working. You're talking about his column on SportsCentra Exactly, and it's smoke Like how you say Greg I like how you put the G on the song the condescending great Smoking this up don't talk about my beat out like that to smoke ju Juju, you're right, the first Greg you're saying, yes. Can we isolate that one? It's hard to be intimidating when you're Canadian and you're like, a boat.

It just doesn't work. Is that what you were laughing at? Sorry? I love their accents, but they are not scary. The Greg was a little bit of like Rodney. Yes, yes it was. Tyler. Tyler.

A very condescending Greg. Which Greg loves, by the way. He does. And if you go back and click on his column, you know, months from now, years from now, just to, you know, see what a jackass he was for writing what he wrote, he'll be fine with that. He called him a hockey rider. Oh, I love that.

How happy is your dad? I haven't talked to him yet and he's going to join us later in the show. I don't know how he feels about it yet. I'm glad that he's joining us because I have an idea to kind of escalate the situation that I think your dad would like. So obviously there's an overrated chant that you do everywhere It's very easy to add a mech at the beginning of it So like you should try I think Panthers fans should try to get going in the crowd over Raid over and over again, right?

You just add the mech at the front of it and really drive the Centra's crazy Now as he scores his seventh goal, I was just gonna say as much as I love what's happening right now There is a poke the bear thing that we're doing here. Don't worry about that. What do we poke the bear? The bear it is ridiculous thinking like Connor McDavid this all-time great this all-time great that needs a Stanley Cup that he now is gonna try hard like is if he wasn't going to And I just what if my dad gets a shout out from Connor if they happen to win the series Oh, that's best-case scenario for your dad. You Greg. Yes Is it is Roy are you gonna be in the locker rooms post game interviews in the Panthers locker rooms? Yeah, well why I got to get it right?

No Roy, there's a game seven. Let's just actually right right down the middle Roy. You got to go to both locker rooms Yes, let's project out here Roy. So it's game seven. It's in sunrise. It's in paradise. Okay. Yeah, and Often just swam by we're actually looking right behind you that's the ocean Yeah, the river everything stadiums right around the bend and McDavid scores an overtime goal the Ohlers win the cup Wow Are you doing this are you gonna walk into it because Greg would prefer this okay? It's the outcome he's rooting for what were your thoughts on yes, Miami Herald columnist Greg Cody calling you Mick overrated rooting for. What were your thoughts on Miami Herald columnist, Greg Cody calling you Mick overrated before the series?

Yeah. Well, he's gonna be in the ice doing that, celebrating with the Cubs, so rather not do that. Right. Well, hold on a second. So you're never gonna talk to the Oilers at any point during the series? No, I'm gonna be in the Panthers locker room.

Why? Because I'm going to be in the Panthers locker room. Well, who's covering the Oilers? Dwork? Who's gonna be on the other side? No, we're both in the Panthers locker room. Well, hold on aers? Dwork? Who's going to be on the other side? No, we're both in the Panthers locker room. Well, honestly, that's a redundancy. We don't need two people.

That's inefficient. What? Why not? Is it a credential thing? No, it's not a credential thing. We're sending two reporters to go to the same locker room? Well, he's in there for the hockey news. He's writing for the Florida branch of the hockey news.

If I have to do it, I'll do it. Compare notes. You know what I mean? I'll get a credential. I tried. Roy kept me away from the I mean? I'll get a credential. I tried. Roy kept me away from the Stanley Cup. I didn't keep you away. The league kept you away.

The deadline was on the 30th. I don't buy that. We should let Rose do it. Is Rose going? Yes. Saturday, no, it's going to be Danny. Rose is out of town. Stugats here.

Summertime is here, which means travel season is upon us. If you're like me and love to travel during the warmer months, the first thing you worry about before traveling is, how safe will my home be while I'm away? I no longer worry about that now that I have SimpliSafe installed in my home. I've had my SimpliSafe system in place for several years now, and it's given me such peace of mind. SimpliSafe is advanced home security that puts you first.

I have the wireless indoor camera. It allows me to see what's going on inside my home. They have a variety of indoor and outdoor cameras plus sensors to detect break-ins, fires, floods, and more. SimpliSafe has been named in US News and World Report's best home security systems for five years running and ranked the best customer service in home security by Newsweek and by Stugats.

SimpliSafe has given me real peace of mind. I want you to have it too. Right now get 20% off any SimpliSafe system with Fast Protect Monitoring at SimpliSafe.com slash DLB. Again, get 20% off any new SimpliSafe system with Fast Protect Monitoring at SimpliSafe.com slash DLB. There's no safe like SimpliSafe. Don Libertard. I ain't never met nobody in the world that's done hate on blue. at simply safe.com slash DLB. There's no say like simply safe.

Don LeBattard. I ain't never met nobody in the world that's done hate on blues clues bro. Great nomination. Like who don't like blues clues bro? If you don't like blues clues, you're a loser. Stugatz. Look, you get one paw print, that's the first clue.

You put it in a notebook, now what do you do? Blues clues, blues clues. Sit on the chair and think about it. This is the Don LeBathard Show with the Stugarts. ["The Stugarts Show Theme"] Hold on a second. What? When did Danny get credentialed?

He got credentialed the same time as me and Rose. Yeah, but Billy doesn't have one. Here's the thing that I don't understand. Again. You knew this deadline was coming up and you know how much the Stanley Cup final means to me. Why did you not tell everyone when the deadline was for credentials? I know how much the Stanley Cup Final means to me. Why did you not tell everyone when the deadline was for credentials?

I did. When the window opened. You did. I told Cole. Lucy, did you know the deadline? Look, I'm our road person. I'm traveling all the events and I didn't hear anything about a credential deadline.

Just a wedding. Just a wedding. Do I want to go to Canada? Absolutely not, but still I would have liked to been asked. Will you see, you're going on Friday to media day. Yeah. Will you see maybe Connor there? Maybe, I think so.

I'm just saying, I think it would be good for the show and it's a reasonable question after it's been in the news. What are your thoughts on the Miami Herald calling you McOverrated? I understand what you're saying here. We have to do it early because the, you know, I said game seven, like all that has to play out There has to be a seventh game. It has to go to overtime. McDavid has to score the winning goal

I think you need to do it after you need to do it early You need to do it after a loss like you need to really really get it in there to bother him And then that could get him in his head Connor. Is there any truth after you're down to in the series? Are you going to practice this week Roy? Friday. Yeah first day of practice. Are you going to Edmonton's practice, or no one's going to that? You are?

Yeah, both practices are at the arena. That's the time to do it, I think. Rose is our person, I think. Are you Mick Overrated? Rose will ask the question. But Rose is out of town. Absolutely. She's out of town.

Where is she? North Carolina. Doing what? I don't know, she's just out of town. It's a big opportunity for Rose. Ask her to change it. Well, hold on a second. She's one a second. She's with the USWL. She's with the Goodfellow people or Christian Polanco.

They're shooting for the women's sport. So she's doing important work. Thank you, Drew. But who's going with you to cover this? Danny. Okay, so Danny has to ask. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Danny asks. Why can't Roy ask? Why can't Roy ask? That's a good question. I think it. I can't really ask why can't Roy? Yes, that's a good question Stition is this superstition right? No, it's not superstition like I'll be you know I think I can actually ask because the all this practice is after the pen this practice I'll be able to hold on a second Jeremy's going right for valleys. Yeah, I will so Jeremy should ask all right I don't know if I'll be at this pre Stanley Cup media available is anyone There I will be there after the work look Roy covers. I want to work

I'm gonna go there and do it. You're not credential not good right in tell He's a deadline if the show came up with a question that we want answered wouldn't that be like top priority, right? I would think Who are you covering the okay? See Connor may David I would think. Who are you covering? Okay. If anybody see Connor McDavid, ask him this. If you hear this, have you under the sound of my voice? If you see Connor McDavid, ask him this question. Roy covers the Florida Panthers, guys.

On behalf of? Not the Edmond M. Oylers. Who covers the Stanley Cup? Exactly right. Called the Edmonton Oilers. It's the hockey show. Not the Edmonton Oilers, guys. Thank you.

Tony finally gets it. It's called the hockey show, not the Panthers show. You're covering hockey. This is an international story at this point. It was on SportsCentra yesterday. Well, as I said, the oldest practice will be after the Panthers practice. So I will try to ask him.

Do a double. How are you gonna ask? Let's phrase this properly so that it's not asked in a way that will potentially be offensive. Pretend Billy's Connor. Yeah, pretend I'm Connor. Roy, it's an easy, you know, in a way that will potentially be offensive. Pretend Billy's Connor. Yeah, pretend I'm Connor. Roy, it's an easy question because you have Greg Cody. You have the umbrella of Greg Cody.

It's not you asking it, it's him. So go ahead. Pretend I'm Connor. What's up, fella? What's a soluboot? So, Connor, there is a Miami Herald columnist named Greg Cody called you overrated. What do you have to say about this? Perfect.

That Greg Cody's a real peckerhead. I Don't know now we got our Thing that what they use what do they say hoser? Did that a real Bellin that Greg Cody is that right? No? I don't know I don't know. He's Canadian. Oh Alright, you're right I don't know. Is he from England? Scotland? I don't know. He's Canadian. Oh, all right. You're right.

Prodi? Find the reporter to the guy who was on SportsCentra. Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson? Yeah, find him. Yeah, he's not gonna be down here. Why? Why not?

What? What? He's gonna fan his E. They're never, not a fan. He's gonna turn this thing from his house, I don't know. He's not gonna go to the Stanley Cup final? Maybe, maybe not. What's wrong with hockey hockey no one gets credentials

Except Danny wallets Well Danny is roses backup. That's why is credential hmm hmm well that was not the only news that Greta Cody made yesterday There were some other news as well. He also made, I love on a news broadcast, and finally tonight. Oh, I miss an end finally. And so in Oregon, my dad got to be an end finally of a news broadcast. Finally tonight, did you know that the state of Oregon and the country of Paraguay have something in common?

Why am I telling you this? Because we are here to educate and inform, just like the good folks over at the Dan Lebatard show with Stu Gatz. Paraguay, from South America, of course, and the U.S. state of Oregon are the only two flags, official flags, that are different on either side. How about that?

See? Forgettable. What do you mean by that? Yeah. What do you mean by that? Can you say it again? Tell him a little bit. Slower, slower. Okay. Okay.

So they're different on both sides. Yeah. If you look at it. The shape is different. What's on it is different. The look is different. So they're asymmetrical. No.

No, no, no, no. Both sides. If you look at it on the- Like the front of the flag and the back of the flag have different things on them? Yes, exactly. Oh! Yes. you look at it on the- Like the front of the flag and the back of the flag have different things on them? Yes, exactly. Oh! Yes.

Well said. I've never thought of the backside of a flag. Yeah, like the Florida state flag, the Canadian flag are the same on each side. Only in Paraguay and Oregon are the two sides of a flag different. That kind of thing, Alan. And you know it!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! How pleased was he on the first how about that? Like, he thought he stuck the landing, he explained it well, and then he had to explain it again. Three seconds of silence on that one. But salute to that brother. See, that's how you cover a Greg Cody story. Yes. With respect.

Not seriously. Greg. Find that guy. You just are sending everyone to find everyone. What guy? I'm not going to go to Edmonton. Greg. Find that guy. Who you just are sending everyone to find everyone. What guy? I don't understand how Mike Johnson can go on SportsCentra say what he

said about Greg and then not face Greg Cody because we know Greg's not going to Edmonton. So I mean. Well, then you could argue what you don't know how Greg Cody would say what he said and then not go to Edmonton the Facebook overrated. But I

love what this generation, there's a lot of computer behind the computer. Exactly right. And all you wanna do is talk and hide behind your screen. Nah, man, we won't real smoke with you. What's his name again? Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson, if you don't come to the final,

we gonna come see you be it, bro. Oh, well, I don't know about that. But Juju, with that said, shouldn't Greg Cody be the one asking Connor McDavid the question? Yes, absolutely. He should go to practice on Friday, right? Right, I apologize.

He should say, I called you overrated. What do you think? Your dad would never do that, would he? No. Well, Greg doesn't like to make the story about him. Greg goes, he writes the story, he moves on to the next thing, you know what I mean? He wouldn't go and say, I said X, Y, Z.

But now it's become a talking point, and I think someone, Danny, Jeremy, whoever, needs to ask the question. The proper way to ask the question though, Roy, when you inevitably ask it is, Greg Cody said you were Mick overrated. You need to make sure that the Mick is in there because otherwise it just doesn't make sense.

I mean, why would he say you were overrated? He just needed to make sure that you knew you were Mick overrated to really kinda grind those gears and make them upset. I'll make sure I say that, yeah. Speaking of Micks, Christian McCaffrey signed a two-year extension yesterday. And I think that cements the 49ers going forward

in the future as one of the top NFL teams for the time being, for the foreseeable future. Don't you wonder about Debo and Ayuk? I do wonder, but money talks. I wonder more about Brock Purdy, right? Like, is he gonna get a huge deal like we're seeing for all these quarterbacks? Not yet. Not yet, but it's on the horizon if he takes him to another Super Bowl, like pay the man. With the money to McCaffrey, and we'll get to CJ Stroud in a second. I love that guy.

I'm tempted to say win a Super Bowl before you talk about other people's careers at Super Bowls, but it's June. Thank you CJ Stroud for doing what you did. It's interesting because with CJ Stroud, it's like I'm conditioned my entire career is win a ring before you talk about others rings, but I love that we have a quarterback in his second season who is so bold, who is so confident that he is willing to not only give his top five quarterbacks but to say he would rather have Eli Manning's

career than Aaron Rodgers career. That's a great job. He's doing the Stugats thing. Rings in a box. I know but uh yeah I know. I'm so torn on it though. He also said if Matt Stafford had uh Aaron Rodgers teams, Matt Stafford would have three or four rings by now. Yeah. Which is crazy because he said every time I go out to LA, I try to link up with Matt Stafford and I watch him and I try to kind of, he's like, Patrick Mahomes,

I watch his tape, but he does things that you just can't teach. I watch Matthew Stafford and I try to kind of like do things that he does because of how talented he is. But also, Matthew Stafford's not on the list of top five best quarterbacks. So wait a second, so Matt Stafford does things that you can teach. Yes. Yeah.

Oh, gotcha. Yeah. What I was saying with Purdy is why give them the money now? Because you have Debo, you have Iuke, and Debo's gonna have to get, there's no way they could sign all three of those guys. 30 grand a year. No, but Iuke, Debo, and Purdy, there's no way they could sign all three of the next year or two to big time money. They can't do it. You can't fit them all in. They're gonna lose I

you or uh Debo Samuel in my opinion. Well, that's why you don't sign Purdy now. You keep them low so you can pay everybody else. You try to maximize this window and then you sign Purdy after you win a ring. You can let everybody go. Yeah. Rock Purdy. Blah blah blah. I think I'll get paid Purdy well. Oh, Jeremy. I think he'll get paid pretty well. Oh, Jeremy. Get him out of here.

You were that kind of sad this morning taking the barrage of anger from Stugatz because you hadn't booked him enough interviews.

The only reason I keep bringing this up is because you are throwing a big party on Thursday. You're doing it and I want people to support what you're doing because Stugatz has not made this easy. Stugatz. Um, well, you know, I, well, yeah, you know. This is the Don LeBathard Show with the Stugatz. ["Stugatz Theme Song"] Stugatz, I'm a little bit lazy river slightly. Why?

Because I feel like we're being watched and even though we're doing the show, you know, we can't get a little too crazy, which is why like a couple weeks ago, when I was sitting in that seat, we implemented a couple things. We implemented the Wheel of Topics we won't get to, which didn't go over well, so we're not gonna be doing that.

And then we also implemented. We enjoyed it. Checking the box's score. Right. Where we check the box scores and we talk about the games that happened last night to make sure that we stick to sports to a certain extent. Like we talk about the games that happened last night to make sure that we stick to sports to a certain extent. We talk about the topics in sports

and we're not just talking about things. Because I have other things that we can talk about. I have something that I've been doing in the shower that I didn't know that I was doing, I found out about. Laying down, Tony thinks, no not that. We can get to it later. A lot of people agree with me on that. Tony thinks broccoli isn't real. We can get to it later. So odd, man. A lot of people agree with me on that one. Tony thinks broccoli isn't real.

We can get to that later as well. But there are sports stories that we should talk to. Right, yeah. I'm a little bit sick, but not super sick. Am I in trouble? No, you're fine. I'm sitting across from you. No, no, you're fine, you're fine.

Are you sure? I think I'm doing a good job of managing it. Yeah, no, I'm on the back end. This is the back nine of the cold, but I still have a lot of mucus, but I'm not coughing as much. I'm not it. Yeah, no, I'm on the back end. This is the back nine of the cold, but I still have a lot of mucus, but I'm not like coughing as much. I'm not coughing hardly any. I was not waking up with coughing.

See, here's the thing. We've not gotten off track again. We're not talking about sports. We? We're just waiting for you to get to it. Like you put any flashing shiny thing and I'll go down that path. You talk to me about anything.

Like I'll follow you down that path. But there are things in sports that happen. So I feel like Roy, last time you were the one that was checking the boxes scores right so then make sure to cover the sports topics de jour so if you can can you do that responsibility again today not necessarily here but things are happening right in sports baseball really WNBA. Ah, the WNBA. Exactly, Angel Reese was kicked out of the game. For nothing. Last night, exactly. She gave the referee a look

and kind of in a little bit of a wiper way. Just a little this. You got kicked out of the game, bro. Come on now, we already understand what's going on, but be more respectful now. Correct, sir. The officiating in that league genuinely makes me lose my mind.

You will see someone just get literally hammered to death under the rim, and then Angel Reese will be like, little quick push away, and they're like, you're out, you're done, it makes no sense. But Lucy, you're one of the few who has been watching this for a long time. Has this always been the case? It has always been like a physical game.

I don't know why people have thought that that's not what the case is. I think they just assume women can't be tough and that's not true. And the officiating's always been bad, but I also feel like we as sports fans are never like, that was good, that was really good officiating. That is a well-called game.

I never ever think that. Right, speaking of like, remember Candace Parker came in the league and she was running down the court and old girl pushed her and then pushed her back down on the ground. Like, bro, these rookies been getting this treatment for a long time, but these referees have been kind of whacked for a long time because they miss a lot

of travel calls, they miss a lot, bro. And it's like, what is the criteria to become a WNBA ref? Because dare I say, I know a lot about basketball. I might need to get on the track and try to try out for them boys. Because it'd be looking a little shaky. Juju, with your seats I think if you just dressed up like a ref you could just stand up

They would have no clue Wow you should try it. I think it's a great idea. I think the fur head man and gave it away I'm not following your concerns though Billy. We kind of cut you off What am I concerned just a lazy river and what we're doing and where we're going and watching us And I don't really care who's watching us. If you're not here, I don't care what your opinion is. I'm sorry. I mean like the audience as well. You know, this is just an extended mystery crate and they want the sports. Oh, okay. You know we're not giving it. Randy Jam from YouTube says that's not all, that's not at all what people think. You feel me? Randy Jam, salute. I'm on YouTube right now. Thank you, Randy Jam. I have a WNBA question for Lucy.

I saw that Kate Martin was left behind and she missed the bus and they drove away without her and she was running out of a restaurant or something. Character issues? No, everyone loves her. You don't like, when you don't like someone, you don't pull the cute little drive away prank. Like, we'll find the video in a second, here it is.

Kate went to the bathroom, was late, and if you, we don't have the audio on it, but they are like cheering. They love her so much. Yeah, this is good clean fun. Yeah, this is great. I can tell by her reaction. Bruh, and this is how it was.

I could, this, I think this is real, because Sunday they played the aces, the dream, or no, last Friday the dream played the aces. So, I think it was a good clean fun. Yeah, this is great. I can tell by her reaction. Bruh, and this is how it was. I could, this, I think this is real,

because Sunday they played the aces, the dream, or no, last Friday the dream played the aces. So, I think this is real, because Sunday they played the aces, the dream, or no, last Friday the dream played the aces. So,, and this is how it was. I think this is real because Sunday they played the Aces, the Dream, or no, last Friday the Dream played the Aces. Great win for the Dream. Right, Kate Martin was standing, had a long ass line, far longer than a lot of other people. So this probably real, people love Kate. Yeah, they love her.

This is also not like the first sort of, I don't wanna say hazing, cause it's not really hazing, but they also have given her the rookie Hello Kitty backpack. So she has to carry a Hello Kitty backpack with her wherever they go. This team loves Kate and it makes me so excited. This is very different than when Alabama left

Lane Kiffin at a stadium. Yeah, yeah, that was at Tarmac. Yeah, oh Tarmac. Or USC left him at the Tarmac. How does Lane miss so many buses? It's awesome. He misses more buses than anyone in the history of sports, I feel like. I don't think he missed the plane at the tarmac.

I said the plane was leaving without him. Oh yeah, that's true. That wasn't his choice. They made him miss that one. What's going on with you and your body wash? Well, I discovered today that, and I told you guys this in confidence, I didn't think we were going to do this on air, but I discovered today... You brought it up. ...in a private conversation. Well, you just said it again on the front end here. I found out today that I accidentally have been using

a combo shampoo conditioner as body wash for the past three or four days. I didn't know. Oh no. It's the same brand and the bottle looks similar. And my body wash is out, and I saw this one there right next to it. And obviously, I take off my glasses to take a shower so like I'm

not reading the labels I see it this is like a blue bottle this looks like it's the right thing so I just grabbed it and I was wondering I'm like I didn't buy this was this like an old one that I just left like and it just reappeared then I thought like my mother-in-law comes sometimes like she'll like get us like if we're low on water, she'll just bring a case of water. Did she, for whatever reason, notice in the bathroom that this was low and get another one? I didn't question it until today when I'm like,

it really is weird that this full bottle just appeared out of nowhere. And then I looked at it and I'm like, this says shampoo, conditioner, I don't know. And I don't use the combo. So when I use shampoo and conditioner, I use separate bottles. I use whatever my wife has, to be honest with you. Sometimes it's not for my type of hair, but I'm like, if it's for hair, it's for me.

You know what I mean? But this one, what? That's not accurate. How so? I don't know, what if your wife has blonde hair and dinosaur hair? I use, when I used to live with my parents, I would use shampoo sometimes,

it says for blonde-treated hair. Oh, you should go blonde, Billy. I thought about summer, Billy. Okay shampoo sometimes, it says for blonde-treated hair. Oh, you should go blonde, Billy. I thought about, but summer, summer Billy. Okay, I thought about, not that, I thought about silver hair one time, right? But I don't think I can do it. Yes you can.

Like Izzy? You're very handsome, bro. I'm at a phase in my life where there's lots of photo opportunities for memories for my children, that I can't really do stuff like that. Like I've thought about, like, in summer my hair's long, I really don't like getting a haircut.

I think it's an anxiety thing, where I don't like the stuff being around my neck. Like I don't like the paper, I don't like the thing. So like, I- What do you think's gonna happen? It's just too tight. He doesn't like to be confined, that's all he's saying. It's an anxiety thing, yeah.

Just tell your barber that. Make it loose. No, I can't tell him. You doesn't like to be confined, that's all he's saying. It's an anxiety thing, yeah. Just tell your barber that. Make it loose. No, I can't tell him. You don't tell the barber, you don't tell the artist how to paint. Exactly right. I don't tell my barber anything. Just let the barber cut your hair.

My barber also is always telling me like, you need to like, will correct, not just his barber, like all my barbers correct my head because like they'll be cutting my hair and then like I guess my head moves like, oh yeah, you're gonna have to do that. And then eventually like, can you please keep your head still?

Stop moving so much. I'm like, I didn't think I was moving. So anyways. Tell your barber just something you're into. I like the hair to just flow down my body. I don't need that little guard there. That's like a kink of mine? Yeah.

If you're worried about the anxiety of it, just be like, I'm into hair, I'm into it. I also never really go. Nobody's into that though. I never go anywhere. I never get my haircut on the way to somewhere I'm going. I always shower after or whatever. That's not how to do it.

I don't know how they cut men's hair. Do they wash your hair there? It's an option most places. There's some places that do, but this is like a barber shop doesn't do that. I just go like basic haircutting. By the way, beef with all of you, I got a haircut this week.

None of you noticed. Your hair looks great. I did. No, you didn't really. I haven't seen you without glass between us, so I apologize. Whatever. Accountability, your hair looks nice though.

Did you change the style? It's because I got it cut. Did you change the style? Yeah, I got more layers, I have more face framing pieces. Roy, are you saying you noticed and didn't say anything? What are you claiming here? I mean, it's none of my business, but yes, I noticed Lucy saying that she's heard

anything That is an absolute lie is a box on the table right now no Roy please brother like You are you didn't notice if if you just, uh-uh. We had a full conversation this morning, not one word about my new hair. I cut off like three inches. I mentioned your bag. You did, but that wasn't my hair.

My bag was like three dollars. The haircut was really expensive. Did you like the place you went to? Yeah, it's lovely. The girl who does my hair is amazing. It looks so good, it's so soft right now. I cut off a lot. It's so good, it's so soft right now. I cut off a lot.

It's documented, I was late as hell. I walked in, this dude guys didn't even say good morning so I apologize still for all of us. Sorry. All of us. I'll see if I get over it. The other day my mom got home from an appointment and my dad's like, oh your nails look great. She's like, it was a haircut.

Oh wow. That doesn't mean her nails don't look great though. Yeah. Wait, what's weird? He tried though. This morning Roy told me my nails looked good and my nails aren't done or anything. He didn't say hey I like your haircut. He said your nails look nice which are they're kind of gross right now. Well yeah you usually wear those press on. Yeah. Yeah well you got on that you got that you got your natural nails out so yeah. Lucy if Roy says he was thinking it but didn't say Yeah, well you got on that you got that you got your natural nose also. Yeah

Lucy if Roy says he was thinking it but didn't say anything. I believe it. Do you know because he complimented my nails It's weird to comment my natural nails and not be like hey your hair also looks nice. Did you get a haircut? Yes, but weird or not to say something if you notice you weirdo. Yes, mr. Guys. When do I ever say anything never that's my point That's why I believe in you. But you said something. But you did say something. Now you want flowers and credits. You just said the wrong thing. Exactly right.

I would like a flower. Nah, you need to do like a penalty box walk. No. What you waiting on Stu? Two minutes for what Juju? For being boring again in line with your boredom. Boring? I just made it.

We don't have a penalty sounder for lying, so we're just gonna be boring. Miner penalty, two minutes asshole. I just made it. We don't have a family sounder for lying. So we just gonna be gonna be born Minor penalty two minutes asshole Is the closest thing I had that's harsh Why are you not leaving too harsh It's a minor I mean no No, no, no juju controls the penalty box with Dan is not here. You weren't here for one. It's a minor, I mean. No. No, no, no. Juju controls the penalty box, but Dan is not here.

You weren't here for that. Thank you, I bestowed this on you. Okay. Did you make that up? Hit the road, Jack. Well, you're lying too. What are you talking about? Get out of here.

You need to hit the road. Nice hat, asshole. None of you recognize my haircut. You all should go. Lucy, did you feel, I'm gonna go. Did you feel conflicted after you got your haircut? Like you thought it was too short or something? No, I honestly wanted it a little shorter,

but I like the length. She did a really good job with the layers, the face framing, bye everybody. Where is everybody going? Well, they're all going to the penalty box because they didn't notice my haircut. Is this like a one for all? I can run a lot for 30 seconds.

Yeah, it was nice. I like getting my haircut because I love when they do like the, we get our hair washed and we have to like lay back in the chair like this, which is actually really uncomfortable. But like. Does it ever trip down your back by accident?

That happened to me once, I hated it. It's like every once in a while, I got like a steam treatment, which was crazy. And that's why. What is that? I don't know, I didn't pay for it. But it was like, they like were blowing steam onto my hair. I think my hair was really dry.

Needed a lot of moisturizer. But it looked, it was fun, and I wish somebody would have noticed because I was super excited. Super excited. My hair was really dead before and now it looks so full of life and none of you noticed. Stu Gatz here. Summertime is here which means travel season is upon us.
