This is the Dan Leventor Show with the StuGuts Podcast. All right, so the 90s called. They want their show back. What's up with the vests, man? Is that a 90s thing? Vests are a 90s ass thing, man. Jeremy's bringing them back. Maybe turn of the century.

I'll give you up until 2004, 2005. Okay. I'm okay with that. Did you know that Jeremy wore a vest yesterday and got a bunch of shit for it? I didn't. I wear this vest no bullshit probably four times a week for the last year. For real? It's like one of them things where it's a very easy outfit. The difference is that Jeremy wore a sweater vest.

Yeah, he was. And Hawks was more of like a tactical vest. Tactical vest. Sure. He put shit in there. He's got, he looked like Matthew Perry from Friends. You look like 50 Cent in that one video. I'll take that.

If I'm wearing that. I'll take that. I was a big G unit. You know, I was a senior in high school, class of 04, so 50 cent in a bulletproof vest. Wow. That's a big deal to me. 04.

Did you guys ever have this phenomenon of the people wearing the workman's vest, you know, that literally is, like, just there to hold tools? They wore that, but wore that recreationally. Didn't have no tools in it. I thought you meant the people that wore that to get into stuff. No, they were just chilling.

Like, hey, what's up, man? I'm like, are you going to a work site right now? Why do you have this on? No, this is kind of a tactical, this is a tactical. It is, it is. A lot of pockets. This is definitely, there's a grenade in one of them.

It's like a fisherman's vest. Like multiple types of tobacco in each pocket. Oh, yeah. Wow. Or you sell stolen jewelry at a concert. You know? Wow. Or like you sell like, you know, stolen jewelry at a concert. You know what I'm saying? Open up the vest like, what do you like?

Open that thing up. You know? I got it all and it's for cheap. Oh the Midwest is young and vestless. I like that, man. So I didn't know Jeremy went vestless. I like the sweater vest as well. I like, you're doing this on purpose.

I'm not, that's really how I say that term every time And when you're like I'm messing with you when you're lying no no no I almost wore a sweater vest today But I haven't been working out like I'd usually do so that's like a gun thing. I like that's that's cool I go sweater vest no undershirt, and I show the guns Jeremy should have got no undershirt. That's what I was gonna do that today. I was gonna wear this with no undershirt. That's what hold on I was gonna do that today. I was gonna wear this with no undershirt Yeah, and then we got the email that said Hawk was coming. I was like, never mind I'm not gonna sit here with a vet with no shirt on and have Hawk there being like no man I give me like give me like six six weeks Up for a vest. I'm I get I'm going in the camp to bring the

to gear up for a vest? I'm going in the camp to bring the the ladder card show to the damn gun show. The sweater vest, no undershirt look. 1998, I was in college. Every single football player had that look, man. They were walking around. That was, by the way, that was, we're dressed up. We get dressed up, they put on a sweater vest, no shirt.

I'm like, this isn't dressed up, man. It's sweaty is what it is. And the armpit's exposed. I wish I could go back to college with the shape I was in and wear more sleeveless shirts or maybe no shirt at all. Just one, right? You don't appreciate it in the midst of it

because I'm like, hey, this is just me. I went back to 2016, I just wouldn't wear any clothes. That's the like, what a time. What was the photo shoot? Was that 2016? 2016, yeah. I feel like that's the look that Jodeci would pull off. Oh, absolutely Jodeci.

Absolutely. Okay, that's a good call. They'd have that vest, no shirt on, and then like, leather. Yeah, leather. Leather vest. Military boots. Yeah, untied. Untied, yep. I like them all, man. This vest actually has Leather vest. Military boots. Yeah, untied.

Untied, yep. I like them all. This vest actually has a little history. I do. Military boots. It's fitting for today, because this is, today's the last episode of Around the Horn, and I actually wore this vest on a Halloween episode

where I was Tony Reale. And it was both of us dressed exactly the same next to each other, and I just basically, you know, mimicked everything he said, parroted everything he said and it was pretty funny. No one who's worn more vests on TV in the last 20 years than Tony Rialy. Yeah, and then he just stopped and started wearing all black.

Doug Funny. Well, that's who I looked like yesterday. I'm sure they can pull up an image. He was Doug Unfunny yesterday. Oh, Doug Unfunny. Also, I'll throw another name for you. Skeeter. What? There you you. Skeeter. What?

There you go. Patty mayonnaise. There you go. I'll throw another name for you. The Rock on Ballers. He had a vest every single scene. Didn't matter what they were doing. No jackets.

No jacket. What a time. Vest, shirt, but the shirt was unbuttoned, and then all tucked into his jeans. Yeah. And I always thought that was a curious look, man. He had to, the Rock gets paid for his guns, man. So yes, if we have a show in HBO, you bring the guns.

Okay, and I'm not talking about real guns. Skeeter is a crazy name. Let's just go back to that real quick. Now that we're, you know, 2025, Skeeter as your best friend is a wild name. And this is my boy Skeeter. What? Skeeter's know, 2025. Skeeter as your best friend is a wild name. And this is my boy Skeeter. You're like, what? Skeeter's like, wow.

I gotta go to the bathroom, I'll be right back. And Skeeter was black too. Skeeter was black. Cause there was like, you know, black people on Doug. But he was blue and he was like really into hip hop and he wore baggy pants and he was a rapper and a beatboxer. They all, and he had kind of had like little skinny dreads. So the name skier is wild.

They knew what they were doing. It feels like it was intentional. That's amazing. On your screen right now. Well, it's not there yet. It's not there. In a second, it'll be on there. Oh, OK.

I can see it. The first time this vest is on. There it is. I do have a tuxedo with no arms as well. Izzy is like the ultimate chameleon man, cuz you've looked like every single type of person, right? Well, somebody once told me on Twitter when I first got on that I look like the combination of all the races Yeah, like when they do the AI generated. This is what the world will everyone will look like in the year 3000 Nation it's the man the woman version of Izzy

I couldn't pull out like shit like jawline. That's I mean, the woman version of Izzy. I couldn't pull out Cody's jawline. I mean, that's impossible. But to go from him to, or previously, go from Conor McGregor to this, I got a wide range. The McGregor one was great too. Conor McGregor, Justin Bieber, Drake, Tony Reale, Barack Obama. The racially ambiguous man.

That's a wide berth. Racially ambiguous goat. Let's not talk about the Cardi B one. Mosquito's real name is Mosquito. Mosquito? Yes. Even worse. Mosquito Valentine.

That's definitely a brother. What were they doing? Mosquito Valentine, that's a brother. Patty mayonnaise, Mosquito Valentine, and Doug Funny. Come on, man. All right. Mosquito Valentine. Who called Mosquito Valentine. We call him Skinner.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh my God. Hey, a game happened last night. Oh that's right. Yeah, Hurricane Panthers. I wish Mike was here. Oh, hockey doesn't have blowouts cause they care so much.

Oh, they care too much. But that's the original hockey and other sports. That's a good Mike. You know what, you know what man, for shits and giggles I looked up the ratings. Guess who's out rating? Hoobst. We have higher ratings.

Our athletes are more recognizable. They're higher paid. Our TV deal is bigger. Like, why does he think hockey is a superior thing? What does he think about it? In the playoffs, it is. I mean, yes, the Panthers are just that dominant, so they've had a bunch of blowouts in this playoffs,

but I think that just speaks to their dominance. The playoff hockey is generally really close. I will say this to a means point for us Panther fans, which I love saying. Like, this isn't just falling in love with some team. Like, everything, I've learned more hockey than I ever have from being a fan of this team, and they're just great at everything.

Like, they're everything you would ever want from a team. So it's, if you decided your first experience with basketball was the 86 Celtics. You'd be a Celtics fan for life. And so for us, for the people that you're around, you're getting the worst of it because it's not this bad in rally. But Izzy, this is my point.

My point is you fall in love with the 86 Celtics, who were you talking shit to in 86? The 86 Lakers. Yeah, you were talking to the Lakers, and the 86 Penguins. Exactly, you wouldn't do that. You wouldn't start like, hey, other sports. You would not do that.

You would not do that. But that's because you're talking about, if you're specifically talking about Mike, Of course I'm specifically talking about Mike. Then you're specifically talking about someone who's decided that his NBA, damn that really did look like him. You looked exactly like him. No I wasn't wearing shorts. Man it's uncanny. The bag, the bag. But if you're, if you're specifically talking about Mike, I'm gonna power through anyway, you're talking about someone whose team that he roots for,

he doesn't have any faith in, in the NBA, right? And now all of a sudden, the last three years, even when they made a finals run, he was abandoning their style of play, what they wanted to do. He had to watch the Celtics all the time. And so in turn, he didn't like watching

that style of basketball. And at the same time, his hockey team started playing a lot better. So what are you gonna do? Of course you're gonna argue that the sport where your team is better is the better sport. I just don't understand why the reaction isn't, yeah, the heater kind of sorry now,

so I've really gotten into hockey. It's not a highlander situation. As opposed to like, going on this, like almost like a PR smear campaign. It wasn't just Mike though, everyone was criticizing the regular season product that was getting put out there. And I think,
