Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Giraffe Kings Network. This is the Don Lebatore Show with the Stugatz Podcast. Happy 30th birthday to Taylor. And happy birthday to him. I don't care. Good luck. For your birthday, the Knicks started that game down 14-0. Miami Heat were not much better last night. I think that there's a very real Denver Nuggets Jimmy Butler conversation that
Starting point is 00:00:46 Should probably be had because he kind of had a bizarre 2010 LeBron like finals appearance against the Nuggets But he had bought so much capital with that historic run that we really couldn't jump on him for only starting to shoot When the game was out of hand in game five, but they give them problems. It's a thing. And it's not something that we have to worry about over the next three months, because the heat are very clearly going to go to the finals again, and hopefully Denver
Starting point is 00:01:14 gets plucked along the way. But there's something there. There's something there. I went to sleep after the end of the first quarter last night because the heat were down 16. And at that point, you got to make a call. Everyone made that call. Heat down 16 and at that point you got to make a call right everyone made that call heat down 16 after one we're going to bed I had two double drinks at the Panthers game so I went right to
Starting point is 00:01:31 sleep when I got home last night well go for drinks my mind in your mind did they lose like you wanted them to or no no so you left upset the Panthers I was in a real win-win last night because they got to overtime and I was just like, hey, either they win or they lose. And for anyone that doesn't know this on air, I have a theory that the Panthers are peaking too early. Yeah. Baseball and hockey are similar where it's,
Starting point is 00:01:57 I actually am not joking about this. I know it sounds ridiculous, but you want to be hot at the right time of the season and the Panthers are flaming hot right now with like 20 games left. So I need over the next like 10 games I'm cool with 500 ball over the next 10 games Work in like a three game losing streak in there somewhere and then That's when we bring it home And you have to get hot again the final like seven eight games and on like a seven game winning streak and boom peek right into the play
Starting point is 00:02:21 They have the Biden Cup right now, right? trophy, yes. Top of the table. They're in the top of the table. The Rangers don't have to lead on them? No, the Panthers are leading with a game in hand over the Boston Bruins, and they have the tie break with regulation wins.
Starting point is 00:02:35 OK, and so it's the New York Rangers, Vancouver Canucks, Boston Bruins, and Dallas Stars, and Florida Panthers, and every day that you check those standings. So I'm with Chris to a certain degree in that we all know that there's a Biden Cup curse out there. You don't want the president's trophy. We won it two years ago. We saw how that ended. But I do want a home ice and I know we're very good on the road. We're also very good at home. Florida Panthers, by the way, Cup favorites, according to Draft King's sportsbook. Cup favorites, that's not so bad.
Starting point is 00:03:08 I like where we're positioned. I actually want the home ice, because I don't want Game 7s on other people's home ice. I want it here. I want that atmosphere provided we get that far. I'm with you when it comes to the President's Trophy, but I'm not with you on going 500 for the rest of the season because they're really good to me.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Just the next thing you follow along like just the next 13 games, 500 ball. So you want the conference. I want the conference, yeah. I want home ice. The Panthers being what is referred to as the 8 seat, although hockey really screwed up these playoffs. I hate the way that the hockey playoffs are. It's the vision. It's terrible because if the Flyers end up making it,
Starting point is 00:03:48 Carolina draws the Flyers and the Panthers are probably gonna have a more difficult opponent if they get the one seed. So it's just, you can't even classify teams as an eight seed. We had two teams make it to the finals at the same time. Both were eight seeds, but it's not really referred to as the eight seed. It's all confusing. Wild card.
Starting point is 00:04:10 We had to win a game seven, which was the highest rated game of the hockey season last year at Boston. I prefer not doing that again, is my whole point. It's one thing if you're sweeping the Carolina Hurricanes, even though to Coach Brendamore it wasn't a sweep, but I'd like Home Ice. I heard Kachuk on the Big Dog show earlier this week and he kind of says the opposite though.
Starting point is 00:04:30 He's like, Home Ice is fine, but we want to be peaking at the right time. He's like, we want to be, because he's saying right now, he was saying that they're as bought in to the way they want to play right now as ever. Even more than last season, like I know that's kind of just like an easy thing
Starting point is 00:04:43 for him to say. Yeah, he's saying things that you want to hear but I'm just telling you that if you watch them play it's true if you watch them play man they just and I know they've struggled a little bit they've gone to overtime with some yeah but haven't played well lately no they haven't like I think you're getting your way in that they're getting points but they're not particularly playing Panther hockey. Last night was frustrating to watch because they're not pinning the puck in deep.
Starting point is 00:05:08 The four check was okay, but I thought Montreal kind of outflored Florida to a certain degree. So it's all about playing well. And they're not playing as well as they did a couple of weeks ago, but they're getting the results right now. So I think that there's still room for their form to improve, but still get the points.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Yeah, they did not play well last night. I mean, two blown assignments led to two breakaways. One of them was a goal. But Sam Reinhardt is back. Yeah, 40th and 41st goal this season. Let's save some of these good takes for the hockey show, huh? Oh, yeah. Did you know that Sam Reinhardt leads the league in power play goals and short-handed goals?
Starting point is 00:05:49 You went away from the franchise? I could honestly say I had no idea. The Panthers, I guess according to Chris, too hot right now. The heat getting hot at the perfect time though, right? Because now you're starting to get some attention from the national media. No one wants to play the heat in the playoffs. We're starting to get everyone's getting back on the heat bandwagon just in time for the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Kind of working out for this show and what will inevitably be our disappointment when the heat crap out again of the NBA playoffs. So the heat were playing well and that's any, they're playing bad. It's a West Coast trip at Denver Denver, historically, has always been very difficult for this franchise. So what I'm about to do is unfair. The Jimmy Butler thing, I think, is fair. There's something going on there with Denver
Starting point is 00:06:36 and he needs to figure it out. Or maybe not if they get plucked because we all know that he's the heater making the finals. But Scary Terry, they were playing well because scary Terry just so happened to be injured. Scary Terry's coming off his best game as a heat against Portland and he comes into that game against Denver. And when I went to bed, he had already had one really bad air ball and I woke up in my group chat.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Apparently he had four air balls in this game. He was terrible. And I told you when we traded- Is that what the drinks Chris was drinking are called? He was terrible. He was scary. The scary is like A-I-R for air ball. He was bad.
Starting point is 00:07:19 And when they traded my least favorite player of all time in Cal-O-Lauri for my second least favorite player of all time in Terry Rosear, I told you and the audience, I'm willing to start fresh with this guy. But the evidence is mounting. Well, you said you ripped him and then you came back a day later and you're like, you know what? I'm bought in. I'll watch.
Starting point is 00:07:38 I'll watch. I'll give him a chance. But I've been watching and I think we're ready to call this race. He's not very good. He's going to do the thing where he probably goes out of the rotation a little bit, then he rubs in like a weird game six for 35 and people will be in my mentions
Starting point is 00:07:51 and we'll all forget like just the game in Denver where he had four air balls. Altitude though. I didn't wanna actually talk about last night down here in South Florida sports. I know this is referred to as the local hour, but I am presently really snagged on something that happened in 2006 that Jess...
Starting point is 00:08:11 Aren't we all? Jess introduced me to. We have video... In 2006? Yeah. She was a minor. We have video of this, I'm being told. And did you know, Billy, that Joe Paterno won shit his pants during a game?
Starting point is 00:08:28 No. And it was pretty obvious. Go on. It was, it's pretty obvious, and he's not low-key about this at all. We have video from this, and let's all react. Let's ride the game, because I do want to do a bit of a Ron Ross scene, stop it and hold type of deal. So let's run the tape. Joe Paterno in a little bit of a ron rostin stop it and hold type of deal so let's run the tape
Starting point is 00:08:46 over turner in the end zone to go in the bathroom joe paterno is leaving the field come on right stop his office up so stop stop stop it so uh... jogging off the field they cut a little bit from of the early parts of the video because the early parts of the video you can already see on his face something happened you can see on his face something happen and you're also missing the effect of the teams parts of the video, you can already see on his face something happened. You can see on his face something happened and you're also missing the effect of,
Starting point is 00:09:07 the teams are on the field. They're punting out of an end zone and Joe Paterno runs in between the center and the punter while the teams are on the field. The pace is what gives away the pooping here. Like he is not, this is not just a jog to a halftime. This is, I got somewhere to go. He literally cuts in between the play
Starting point is 00:09:27 to run to the locker room. And I want you to look at the color Pancity is wearing at this point if they show up in the frame because early on you could tell he's wearing like dark colored pants. Yeah, see, he's wearing navy pants there as he's running through the end zone as teams are on the field
Starting point is 00:09:45 okay uh... now now run the audio if we can please he's wearing navy pants and he's got a jog about him and i think a lot of us recognize that job at job and we have no reason to go joes maybe the only guy that knows although we all know. So we know that that was bizarre. We've never really seen a coach run in the middle of a play.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Joe Paterno returns from halftime and Bonnie Bernstein has an interview with Joe Paterno in which she asks him what happened there there body burns seen said that uh... he's battling some sort of a flu blood uh... bug and you can see it on his face let's let's put this up and today suffering from a bit of a blue but he says it feels a little better but i could just tell he's he's still kind of washed out as a coach what were you able to keep up on the locker and he's like well i know we miss a field goal and then we made it and that's all that matters That's great stop it right there time Joe's problem. Stop it right there
Starting point is 00:10:47 Look at that is a man a broken man is a broken man He's got hands on his hips just looking down and what do you what do you recognize about the pants? Oh? Different pants khakis. I mean he's he's 79 at the time. No, I know Before from my six-year-old during a soccer game sometimes you just got a jog off the field in the middle of the game It's something you would see in a rec league like hey mom. I got to go poop Navy pants And then runs and then khaki pants That man is just a poopy though because he has a towel around his neck. He's clearly going through something I mean, well, that was kind of his thing especially at that age The towel probably shouldn't have been around his neck. He's clearly going through something. I mean, well, that was kind of his thing, especially at that age. The towel probably
Starting point is 00:11:26 shouldn't have been around his neck. He shit his pants and he ran off and he interrupted a play because he shit his pants. I did not know this about Joe Paterno. He needs to, I mean, you got to be, in the morning, like, I feel like, what time's this game at? Noon? Like, it's just, we got to be, we got to think this out more for him. I think one thing is obvious. This is the most shameful part of his legacy no doubt for Joe Paterno Stu got here Did you know that according to FBI property crime data most home breakings happen in broad daylight as the days get longer this spring protect your home Would simply safe it's the award-winning home security.

Starting point is 00:12:53 And like it's like a parade of cruise ships and they're all blowing the horn like brrrr And there's all these people outside because it's like It sounds like an old clock. I thought it was more like... Oh my god, that was really good! That was good! We do it again, do it again! Limited fake cruise ship horn.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Stugatz! Really good. I'm waving to you, I'm waving. Yes! This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugas. It's big movie weekend with Dune 2 headed to theaters and I've been kind of put off and I know this is an algorithm that I'm getting because I've asked other people around me, are you getting Dune 2 IG ads? I just keep seeing that Dune popcorn thing that looks
Starting point is 00:13:49 like a flashlight. Yeah, so I flashlight. Yeah. So I keep getting Dune 2 ads, but it's really off-putting to me because it's nothing of the movie. I would prefer to get the flashlight popcorn. All I'm getting in these advertisements are beautiful people being beautiful at red carpet events. And I'm like, this is a very strange way. It is an attractive cast, though. It's a very pretty cast. It's a very strange way to market a sci-fi epic
Starting point is 00:14:19 that had already a first part that I had seen and I thought was just okay. What's it about? What's it doing about? Lot of sand. There's a ton of sand. It's basically about sand. I saw the first movie and I had same same notes do a reboot It's like life existed only a noble family becomes embroiled in a war for control over the galaxy's most valuable Acid while its air becomes troubled by visions of a dark future. That says nothing. Yeah, it's kind of like...
Starting point is 00:14:49 There's the Dune Popcorn thing. You're putting your hand in, but... No, that was part one. Are you getting it out? Yeah, I've seen the application of people taking popcorn out and you actually don't get a true handful. It scrapes a lot of the popcorn out of your hand, and you don't get the full mouthful of popcorn. So Dune is a lot like Avatar, which is a lot like Dances with Wolves, which is a lot like Pocahontas.
Starting point is 00:15:12 I know cinematically that's not the same timeline. I meant historical when it comes to Pocahontas. But I saw the first movie, it was pretty to look at. There was a lot of sand, so much sand. Historically, so D There was a lot of sand, so much sand. And historically, so Dune was a movie before. It was this in the 1980s. And I think I recall as a little kid seeing the original Dune and it was a bomb.
Starting point is 00:15:35 It flopped. And the source material was sort of like the Watchmen. How do you make a movie out of this? This is so difficult to make into a movie. And the answer was let's just really draw it out. So the first one, very talky, okay, pretty to look at, sets up this part two, which we see this occasionally. Number one movie on IMDb, 100 on Rotten Tomatoes, it's almost as if the entire industry rallies around one film that gets you to go to the movies every year.
Starting point is 00:16:05 This appears to be that time. The feedback that I've seen is epic, 100% rotten tomatoes, IMDb best movie ever, and also for Austin Butler, who I don't think is a serious person. He's getting rave reviews as best villain ever on screen. This is Heath Ledger Joker level type of stuff from Austin Butler. It sounds like it's gonna be a flop. It can't possibly deliver on this.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Adnan says it's great. Oh please. And he doesn't, I mean he's pretty, he just likes to like movies. No, he doesn't like all these, especially these big blockbusters. He's often critical of them. And he's just like, it's visually, it's just good.
Starting point is 00:16:44 But there's a lot of sand. Oh, a lot of sand. So much sand. Do you think anyone's ever trying to f**k popcorn bucket? What? Oh, most definitely. Most definitely. I've actually seen videos, not of people f**king the popcorn bucket.
Starting point is 00:16:57 But taking, there's like the sand worm toys and they're putting the sand worm back into like this, like, it's a like it was weird, I reported it. I've seen a lot of like, Lord forgive me what I'm about to doon to this popcorn machine, whatever it is. I don't know. I'm not gonna see it on the biggest screen ever because when I'm getting an ad for telling me
Starting point is 00:17:19 to see it on the biggest screen ever, I'm seeing Zendaya in some sort of plastic outfit and I'm like, this is not the movie at all But there is a movie that has gotten some traction on social media and it's not It's in development and it's American Psycho, which is for my money one of the other one really Yeah, so there was American Psycho and then a sequel with Mila Kunis. There was American Psycho 2 that was, I mean, I think she was related to Patrick Bateman. She might have been Patrick Bateman's daughter and it was just terrible. I think it was straight to DVD at the time and whatever.
Starting point is 00:17:54 American Psycho is a perfect movie in my opinion. It's a great dark comedy. It's my number two favorite movie of all time. Love American Psycho and I know what the take is from everybody that loved the original American Psycho is, this is perfect. It does not need to be remade. But the reports are it's gonna be a modern retelling of American Psycho, which was a period piece.
Starting point is 00:18:17 A lot of people kind of made American Psycho better by having their own theories as to what it was about. No, this is a statement on the vanity of the 80s and it's a period piece and I'm more inclined to go that route. I mean, what is more vain than the era that we're living in right now? It's actually perfect timing to have an American psycho contemporary version. It's just applying that branding and that expectation with it, but we've already had a bad American psycho out of the way. I don't know, man, the 80s, this is pretty vain in the 80s, man.
Starting point is 00:18:48 How's that gonna get any better? I feel the same way about this that I feel about any reboot, which is like, if it's a good movie, I'll watch it. I don't care if it's a reboot or not. It's just like the, sometimes they're just lazy and they kind of repeat the same thing over again and it's not good, but make a good movie people will watch it
Starting point is 00:19:05 I don't know I think it's the audacity of making the reboot because the naked gun is gonna reboot with Liam Neeson like how you gonna that? How you gonna do that? I think it look the spoof movie has totally disappeared it Leslie Nielsen took it with him and like a couple months ago. I was binging Leslie Nielsen movies took it with him. And like a couple of months ago, I was binging Leslie Nielsen movies. I've gone as far as to see like those crappy golf videos that he's done.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Those are really bad, really terrible. Leslie Nielsen was really unlike anybody else. You went to a Leslie Nielsen movie, you knew exactly what to expect. Scary Movie did resurrect the Spoof movie and they paid homage to him by him being part of the cast and one of the sequels. Scary movie three.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Yeah, but he took that whole genre away. It's goofy, it's not laugh out loud, fall out of your chair funny, it's more like funny ha ha stuff and it's just pleasant to watch and it's totally gone away. I know Rashida Jones did a series that was very much like Naked Gun, but that got canceled and no one's really done it. As we know from his clip with the Associated Press, Leslie Nielsen had great comedic timing, but Lee Niessen had better comedic timing
Starting point is 00:20:15 with that AP interview. I actually, you kinda need a straight man, I think, in these spoofs, and he plays a believable cop. He played an all-time great character in Dairy Girls. No, no, no, no, no. He was a cop. He, I think it's going to be great. And I think the timing is right for a naked gun reboot.
Starting point is 00:20:37 And it's not held in the same regard as American Psycho is. A lot of these movies, a lot of these naked gun movies are very poorly rated. Can I ask a question about, and I might face backlash for this about that Leslie Nielsen clip that we played for a long time. I kind of understood what he was saying. Or Liam Neeson, yeah, what did I say?
Starting point is 00:20:57 It is the perfect actor to do the reboot because it will trip people up because they're both Liam Neeson, Leslie Nielsen. Yeah, I got tripped up there too. But do you have the entire Associated Press clip? Because I want to, I think I'm with Billy on it. I know what he was going for. The no was just so perfect and the note that he hits
Starting point is 00:21:21 is just so iconic that we really lose the essence of what he was trying to say. So let's play that entire clip. There's a lot of discussion about it and a lot of healthy and necessary discussion about it because the disparity sometimes is disgraceful. How do you think we can move past that? We're starting. We're starting and it has to start, you know, and it's starting with these extraordinary actresses and brave ladies and we as men have got to be part of it, you know. We started it.
Starting point is 00:21:55 So we have to be part of the solution. So would you take a pay cut to kind of equal things out? No. Pay cut. No, no, no, no, that's going too far. No, there has to be a parody. There just has to be. I kind of get it. I mean, he's saying like, no, they should be as paid as much as I'm paid. No. I should be giving them, like I should make less to make it equal that way. Like everyone should be making, I kind of get it. I kind
Starting point is 00:22:21 of get it. Except when it comes to NIL. Probably. Because we talked yesterday, I'm curious. Jess, you weren't here and Lucy wasn't here either. And Lucy is taking a personal day, because Caitlin Clark has announced that she is indeed going to the WNBA. I just threw out there. Is that a good business move for her?
Starting point is 00:22:42 Well, people have done the math that there's an average WNBA salary and she's presently making more. I saw she was hanging out with Theo Vaughn the other day in Iowa. Do we have that video of Hailey Jones talking about going to the W because she talked about how it's a myth essentially that you're losing money by going to the WNBA.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Once you're a professional, your endorsements that you had in college will most likely continue. If not, you'll have the opportunity to do more. I imagine she and her team have crunched the numbers and she's got a massive shoe deal waiting for her. And I think she has a really unique opportunity in front of her to make the WNBA matter more by her arrival. And I think that's kind of part of it.
Starting point is 00:23:27 We talked about, it's a little bit of the messy going to MLS and Beckham going to MLS thing versus some of the other offers that they have in Messi's regard, going to Saudi and just getting this huge bag in Beckham's respects, him saying in Europe, adding more trophies. Let's play that clip that Jessica was referring to. So you did not lose money coming in plain language. Spread the gospel, please. Yeah, I think it's people I don't really know where
Starting point is 00:24:01 that came from but like when coming from the NIL... Men, it came from men. You're right. So it's completely right. Very rarely is it like a one-post situation or like a one-month thing. Like you're being endorsed by a brand for a long-term contract. So like everything I did in NIL, I still have the majority of those contracts with me now. And then I take on my WNBA based salary and then being in the W
Starting point is 00:24:26 Being they let a market then you start getting more endorsements now You're faced like you're working to be one of the face of the league with this team marketing agreement Leading marketing grant whatever it is. There's a lot of opportunities to add on what you already have that's interesting She maintained a lot of her NIL and maybe I was approaching it from a naive space. Like I had an NIL deal with a women's college basketball athlete and it stopped when she went professional over to Europe. I still don't know if we have enough data points on NIL to pros. So maybe that's a unique experience that she has, but it is something to consider. Like I don't think that there is any kind of scenario
Starting point is 00:25:05 for Caitlin Clark here going to the WNBA that sees her making less money. That's not how these things work, right, Jess? Absolutely, she's a star, she's gonna make money no matter where she goes, but I also think that if she wants to play pro, like, it's weird that people are putting their own, like, opinions onto it.
Starting point is 00:25:21 She's achieved almost everything you can as a college player, except for when a national championship, maybe they'll do that this season. But she has the scoring record, she's broken tons of records in college basketball. And going to the next level, I think will be a great challenge for her in something that if you're an athlete and a competitor, why wouldn't you want to do that? And why wouldn't you want to take that next step? Especially because the Fever have the number one pick. She'll be playing with Alia Boston probably next year, who just won WNBA Rookie of the Year, one of the best inside players in the W,
Starting point is 00:25:49 and the combination of the two could be lethal in the WNBA. Don Lebatard! I just heard a song that had Frank Sinatra singing from the window to the wall to the sweat drop off my balls. Stugatz! The window to the walls, till the sweat drops down my balls. Stugats! The window to the walls. Till the sweat drops down my balls.
Starting point is 00:26:08 So, what I'm saying here. All these females crawl, sing in Oskis, God damn. All blue eyes. Congratulations on your suing nomination. This is the Don Lebatar show with these two guys. I want to close the loop a little on Caitlin Clark before we move on to something that was born out of a pre-show meeting that we had. It was a startling revelation.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Not Joe Paterno. Not Joe Paterno. That was a couple of things that I wasn't aware of. I want to feel bad for a 79-year-old accidentally pooping themselves in public and having to run out of their job, but it's show paterno. Yeah. So I feel conflicted as like. I will give you a license to not feel bad
Starting point is 00:26:52 for a show paterno shooting. Yeah, I feel conflicted as a human being. I just naturally feel sympathetic towards an elderly person having an accident publicly and having to run out embarrassed. I think that's probably a lot of people are feeling. Also, my main feeling this morning was like, I can't believe you hadn't seen this before. You don't remember this happening.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Like, I feel like this was one of those college football things that like, I remember where I was when it happened. Where were you? Like, forthcoming? Yeah. I feel like there should be. The easy solution here is just like a high-class porta-potty on each bench, but what's a better look?
Starting point is 00:27:27 Jogging away where everyone knows you have to shit or the shot of you entering a porta-potty on the sidelines. And then not coming out for like ten minutes, nobody knows. And they have the tent there on the sidelines where you can have a bucket. A bucket. So I'm going to a Panther game next week. Annually, I have this thing called the Kitty Caravan, or me and a large group of friends, and it grows every year.
Starting point is 00:27:48 We go to one Panther game that we've identified on the calendar. It's usually a matinee game. And we tailgate, we just love our ice cats, and we go to the game, we inevitably lose because it's the biggest mush out there. And we've run into a couple of issues at the Kitty Caravan. I love the facilities. I love my time at Panther Games,
Starting point is 00:28:10 but they don't necessarily encourage tailgating. Roy, if you've been to the parking lot, you'll see people tailgating and having a good time, which you won't see. Or toilets. No. There are no toilets. Now, guys, specifically, we can get around that.
Starting point is 00:28:24 We can work with that. No problem. You got a tree, you got a car door, you got a gutter, you got a grassy patch. We'll find ways. Just pull out the wiener and go. But ladies, a lot more difficult. And when you're tailgating with seltzers or Miller lights, you gotta go after a while. And there's no place to go. So I had this very thoughtful Christmas gift that somebody gave me, which is my own portable porta potty. It's a tent that people can go into.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Sounds gross. And a bucket. Give that to you, that's weird. Someone that went to the Kitty Caravan in 2022. And I haven't had an opportunity yet to use this yet. It's still in its wrapping. And it struck me yesterday. I've been super excited to use my porta potty and take it because this is a practical application.
Starting point is 00:29:07 The ladies that are going to this tailgate are gonna love the fact that I was this considerate and now we have a place that's private that they can go to the bathroom if they need to be. What's it called? I forget the name. It is a portable Porto Potty. It's like extra Porto Porto, but someone got it online and it's this pop-up tent that pitches itself with a bucket
Starting point is 00:29:29 and some bags. Bags. Some bags. Who's gonna empty that thing? Because that's what finally dawned on me the other day is, alright, when it's time to go into the game, I've got this piss bucket now that I've got to empty. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:44 And I forgot to put that back in my car because clearly someone's going to steal my piss bucket. Yeah, that's yucky. I would leave that outside the car until you got back. But I put bags around it. Is this what it looks like where we just put up it on the screen here? That's exactly what it looks like.
Starting point is 00:30:01 So here's what I'm thinking. It's yucky. I just park next to a storm drain. Like where your head's at? And I put the tent over the storm drain. And- So you're just dumping sewage into the storm drain? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:15 So people enter this little port party and the whole ground area is just like wet. The old, oh, you have a glades in this situation. It's not my problem, like this is, it's not my problem like this is it's all number one Yes, this is all number one I'm sure there's way worse things in that storm drain that then you know fertilizer and Miller light induced pee I Not really my concern here guys, but is that the move because I'm worried about The part that no one's considering which is putting the bucket back in the car when it's time to go to the game
Starting point is 00:30:45 and handling the bucket. I'm gonna have to get rid of this pee at some point. I'm gonna, it's going in the storm drain regardless. So I do, do I just cut out the middleman and just put this tent over a storm drain and tell people, yeah, just go in the drain. You said there were bags involved, right? Why don't you just put in the dumpster?
Starting point is 00:31:02 Or the garbage can, I should say. These aren't really readily, you want me. You're in around a bag of warm pears. You want me. It's like a balloon. I don't think you're supposed to pee in a bag. I think that this is just for number two, this bucket. You shouldn't pee in there, I don't think, right?
Starting point is 00:31:15 Come on, come on. This is on the Panthers. Hey Panthers, can we get some porta-potties? They don't want us to. They don't want you to have porta-potties. Because very clearly, they would have them if they wanted this-potties. Oh cuz I don't very clearly They would have them if they wanted this to be a thing and this is their way to dissuade It's kind of like saying that you have a boat show in town. You can't host the all-star game. This is This is their this is their
Starting point is 00:31:39 Is it because they don't make money off of it So it's like we don't want people coming in more drunk. Like that's it. Like you're gonna get drunk enough here. So it doesn't add value to us for you guys just entering the arena more drunk. It could be a cost thing. I'm not sure. I don't know what the official statement is there, but they've gone several years without having toilets
Starting point is 00:31:57 available for the people that want to pull in early and have a big kitty caravan bash. I would think it is the cost. First you gotta pay for the disposal, and then people are bringing in their own alcohol, so you're not paying for alcohol in the game. How exactly would I carry this bag? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Like Santa? Twist tie. I don't know. I do the Santa and put it over my shoulder. I feel like you're juggling it down the street. It bounces on your back like boozer. Yeah, so I think I'm leaning towards team pull up next to a storm drain. There's gel that you pour into this thing.
Starting point is 00:32:31 So you pour this gel into it and it turns the pee into gel. So it absorbs the liquid that would appear. You should see if your kit came with this because I'm looking this up right now. There's also a poo absorbent that made, it says lemon scent. So it makes it smell good. It seems like there's also a poo absorbent that made, it says lemon scent, so it makes it smell good. It seems like there's- It's gonna be one of those scenarios where it's poo and lemon.
Starting point is 00:32:49 As opposed to the lemon eliminating. Yeah, no, so look Jess, you can see this right here. Ultra absorbent to deal. I don't know if I want to. So there's the- Poo-pourri. That represents the urine, and then when you put the liquid thing in it,
Starting point is 00:33:02 it turns it into gel. So you're not walking around with a bag. So it's like hardened it turns it into gel. So you're not walking around with a bag? So it's like hardened? It looks like playdough. No, it's gel. It's like gelatin? Yeah, gel-o-p, it seems like if you put this stuff in it.
Starting point is 00:33:12 That actually seems pretty cool. I mean. Science. But I feel like I'm doing worse to the environment if I'm dumping this sludge. Well, no, then you would take that and put that in a trash can. I'm gonna assume you won't throw
Starting point is 00:33:25 your P-R-Cell into a sewer grid, I don't think. But do I still do the Santa with it and I slosh it against my back as I carry all this human waste? Yep. And also, it could break as I'm pushing it into these, it's not really, the trash cans there aren't designed for big sludge-y gelatinous P-gel.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Yeah. So. It's also P-gel. Yeah. It's also hot down here. Yeah. No, there's a lot of- The heat element is frozen in the air. I feel like your kitty caravan always adds something and you need to have a P-gel Santa costume
Starting point is 00:33:57 for the next year. And then the loser of some better, something has to be the person that cleans it out and they go in a yellow Santa suit with the P-gel bag and then they go and dispose of it. You make it a whole thing. Is this like a party bus that will stay there the entire time and take you guys back after?
Starting point is 00:34:10 No, because there's the Kitty Caravan. In terms of paid attendance, our group is 23 large and there's people like you and Roy, I hope. That aren't going on the Kitty Caravan. That aren't with our ticket group, but already have tickets to the game, and will just be there to... Oh, so you guys can pee in this tent.
Starting point is 00:34:28 This is exciting. Yeah, you guys are gonna enjoy this... Privacy, yeah. This pee tent. Speaking of Santa, if I may make a segue here, Drive to Survive, the new season came out a week ago. Santa's in it? And there is a scene in it with technically Father Christmas.
Starting point is 00:34:43 And he asked Christian Horner, who's a team principal at Red Bull, he asked his children if daddy had been naughty the last year. And in hindsight, it was one of the most incredible bits of foreshadowing in the history of that show because Christian Horner recently was accused of misconduct at Red Bull. And something insane happened yesterday
Starting point is 00:35:04 in the world of Formula One, which I think people that aren't Formula One fans will find interesting, which is that Christian Horner, who is one of the faces of the sport, had been accused of misconduct. He was being investigated by the team. The Formula One season starts this weekend. DNF will be back. TBD Nguyen, a little plug there. But the whole team's in Bahrain for the first race. And they said, okay, we're done with the investigation, like Christian's here, he's not going anywhere. We're clearing him basically. And then a anonymous email gets sent to hundreds of F1 media members and to the heads of F1 with screen grabs of alleged text
Starting point is 00:35:47 messages between Christian Horner and a employee of Red Bull, and this is the alleged wrongdoing that he was being investigated for. And so everyone in F1 is together right now, this was yesterday, in Bahrain, they're still there, the race is tomorrow. And no one has been able to verify yet if this is, are these text messages are real? There's still journalists working on it, trying to figure out what's what,
Starting point is 00:36:11 trying to figure out how to deal with it, how to cover it essentially, because no one knows who sent the email. Was it the person who's alleged to have been, the victim in this case? Is this someone else at Red Bull who thinks the investigation wasn't handled fairly? It's really sketchy. And obviously there's another person involved whose identity is anonymous, so it has to be taken with some care because they might not have wanted this
Starting point is 00:36:34 information out there. But everyone is freaking out about this. And it is quite crazy. Christian Horner's married to Jerry Hallowell, Ginger Spice, right? Correct. Crazy Christian Horners married to Jerry Hallowell ginger spice right correct okay Married man family as you outlined early on the photos. I imagine are lewd in nature very inappropriate I saw the files that were going around and again I don't know what's real and what's not real, but it was a lot of bad and shocking things so it's F1 is a global sport European roots. And when things like this have popped up in soccer,
Starting point is 00:37:09 they seem to be behind the times a little bit. They had, as you mentioned, an independent, well, not independent, the Red Bull owners themselves conducted this first investigation. There were barristers involved from what I read. Okay, so what exactly would, what do you expect the reaction would be from Formula One? That's the thing, I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Nothing like this has ever popped out? No, there have been several scandals, but I think Formula One has, in the last five years has changed quite considerably the makeup of who is actually running the sport and who controls the power. And I think Christian Horner himself has a lot of power in the paddock. He has a lot of power over being the team principal and kind of running the show for one of the biggest brands in Formula One, gives him a lot of power, and he can do a
Starting point is 00:37:59 lot of things that maybe other people wouldn't get away with, if the allegations are true. So I genuinely don't know what's going to happen, but for a weekend, the first weekend in Formula One, the first race is usually like, it's exciting, but things ramp up throughout the season. This is about as crazy of a story that could happen in the first weekend of Formula One season. And I was just trying to search for punitive precedent.
Starting point is 00:38:25 All the media has all these things, so it'll be curious. I do wanna talk to you on the other side about Formula One in general, because it seemed as though the bubble burst on that here at least stateside.
