You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Welcome to the big suite presented by Giraffe King. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants, just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries

that if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, that face and the habitual liar. Family problem? Paul, why don't you go to Gamler? Agent eligibility restrictions apply.

We were prohibited. See, Drank Things.com for the tells. What is your preference to gots from among the teases? Dentist or briefcase? Wow. Dentist, you get to do it. I want to save dentist. I'd like to talk about the briefcase.

All right, why, Bill, are you considering becoming a briefcase guy? I heard Tony saying to you, please, become one of those. I will bury you every day for being a briefcase guy, I heard Tony saying to you, please, become one of those, I will bury you every day for being a briefcase guy. Yeah, I mean, that's his only move because he's a dumbly. Oh, my only move of you bringing a briefcase

into an office where you wear basketball shorts? Pardon, is this not a place of business? It is, you wear shorts, though. I'm sorry that we're not all dressed like clowns today, but some people come here to work and to advance the company and raise the company's value, and at times that involves doing business and businessmen carry briefcases. You are not a businessman. I am a businessman. How am I not? He's a modern man. I take meetings, I have a calendar, I have Zoom links, I'm a business.

I'm going to put a zoom link in a briefcase? No, I put my laptop inside a briefcase and I put my things, my belongings inside a briefcase. The problem is that I'm surrounded by plebians like you that don't understand what work needs to be done. So I need to kind of dress down and play the part of the dump. You know what my work gets done with right here?

Look at these hands. This is what my work gets done with right here. I don't need a briefcase to do work. I do work with this. You're a construction worker, what you don't even understand the industry. You work and what do you do with your hands? Buddy, you don't get it. You'll get it one day.

Why not a laptop bag, Billy? Well, I don't like them. It's a poor man's briefcase, not literally, but it's just like it's a fake one. Attacking the poor now. Good job, good job. It's not a no. It's a great case.

I've not literally. I'm just saying, I have a backpack here and I just, I feel like a briefcase would add to it, but I also feel like I would be made fun of by people that just don't get it, you know? You are growing up and you are considering. Growing as men. You are, I don't know if you're grown yet.

Oh, well grown, I two of them. I'm the most grown. Believe, I believe, yes. You're correct that that, I'm the most grown. Believe, I believe that's your correct, that that would make people the most grown, but the way that you dress every day is not a briefcase of Jason. Well, it's freezing in here. What the hell do you want me to do?

I'm dressed nice today. I have on a pair of socks. You wore pants today, wow. If you came to work, you'd know that I've been wearing pants, but you're never here. I was here every day. I was here every day. Oh, here we go. We came If you came to work, you'd know that I've been wearing pants, but you're never here. I always see everybody in the house. I always see work every day.

Oh, here we go. We came to this country to work. That's the thing on a raft, which is absurd. You did not. But you come in here, like we came to this country to work, and then people were just waiting around here for you to do things. So you tell people you're coming in to do this,

we're not doing this again. We already did this on Mr. Kreat last week. I'm not having this argument with Tony again. I'm not doing it again again because it's a whole thing where he pretends to be the hardest working person here and then they're like, where's Tony? I didn't come to work today. Okay.

Oh, I was editing a podcast from home, buddy. You know where you can do that? Right out there. That's what you can do. There is a schedule that gets made. Like, we're getting off point here. A briefcase issue. Yeah.

Yeah. Why, like, it was Greg Cody's back in my day. He was talking about it and it made me long for the idea of having a briefcase issue. Yeah, yeah. Why, like it was Greg Cody's back in my day. He was talking about it and it made me long for the idea of having a briefcase. He did make it sound appealing. It did and then I started looking some up. They're kind of pricey. But I found this one that was 27% off on Amazon.com

and there's different compartments and I'm not sure. 54.99 is a bit of a commitment to something that is going to just lead to me getting made fun of, is the thing. Because I know that's what's gonna happen. Because no one's a serious person around. What would you carry in the brief?

I've got a top five list of things that Billy would carry in his briefcase. Oh really? Okay, good. We will get to that in a moment. Oh, can't wait. I'm interested. But you are, it is practical,

but is anyone pulling that off successfully? Do you, businessmen, have you seen a lot of people that you would say that person is stylish? I would certainly, there must be Wall Street types all over the place, but I think of the backpack

as also being so much more comfortable, stylish, and also probably, is that probably cheaper? This is the, yeah, definitely cheaper. This is the problem. Do we work in the fashion industry? Is this a fashion show? No, it's a place of business.

So we should be businessmen, not fashion icons. Like, we're going after the wrong thing here. If we want to be a serious company, conducting serious business, briefcases. Let's get to it. Top five things found in Billy's briefcase according to Tony. Number five.

Pop Tarts. Ha ha. Ha ha. Number four. Random papers. Nothing they have anything written on them, but there's just random papers kind of thrown about. Number three.

Mac and cheese cups. Ha ha ha. Billy's using the briefcase as a lunchbox, not that I didn't know. What is it? What is it? Billy also claimed to be grown moment to go, and that is what a toddler would fill his briefcase. You're talking about camouflage sheep here.

Like what are we doing? Number two. Number two, Coke. Coke hold up. Good clarification. A lot of Coke in briefcases, I guess. Number two number two Coke Good clarification A lot of coke and briefcases actually you know what? You know I respect Billy a little bit more if you had a briefcase Cola I think

That the things most readily associated with briefcase that business is third that it's and now this might be my Miami biases But I go cocaine and cash one two and then a distance bronze medalist is You know, no book but who's carrying a notebook or folders or papers or anything these days nobody I actually, you know, we'll see how long it lasts New Year's resolution I have a like an actual calendar book. Inspired kind of like by Billy, Billy is a big calendar book guy, and I have a calendar book I'm writing stuff down.

Called an agenda. An agenda book. No, an agenda book. You're pushing an agenda book. I have an agenda. I mean, there's different agenda, there's always a book. You could have an agenda list,

like that's not true what you just said. The definition of agenda is not a book. Okay, but hold on, I want to explore this. Call it a dictionary book. I want to explore this for a second because I do think Billy's got, he's got your cornered here. I don't think he does. Let's look up the definition of agenda. I don't think he does. It's pointless.

I think it is just an agenda as opposed to a book replete with pages of a list of meeting activities in the order in which they are to be taken up. That's right, that's not an agenda book. It could be a book, it could be on a calendar in your kitchen. A legal pad. Put it on the pole, please, at Levitard show. Billy's just signed back there,

he doesn't want to admit he was wrong. It's fine. I now understand why this place isn't worthy of a briefcase I Now understand it Number two that was number number two is coke number one is Nippie Nga that's a music Someone hand me an agenda please Go to Kansas City Zero well the minus negative zero was what is that in Pingo?

Neapine guys without a dick I believe yeah, well, yes, that's the day that it's like agenda. It has different meanings But the no no dick But neat neat being guys something that his panic people say to it's the craziest way of saying nothing What does that person have as a skill set knee binga nothing? There's these got no skill set no skills in that's right. No, there's no skills in Chris Cody's agenda bookcase A lot of things I got to get done this week though, and I'm checking them off as I do it How's this going for you the details of trying to be an executive producer. Because when you were, I just want to be more organized, but yes, that also is a goal.

But when you were my assistant, you were bad at it. It was hard to reach you. You didn't have an agenda. Yeah, I didn't have my agenda. It was hard to reach you. Yeah, it was hard to reach it last week. I was trying to set something up with it. And I was like, I'm at dinner.

And I was like, I'm digging the kids to school. And then we did the busy guy. We did the watch party and I never got to talk to him. Well, it didn't go well. Is Tony settled in negative zero degree weather or are we waiting for this? Because he still, it takes a while to get to. No, but I want to talk.

I'll get to the dentist stuff. Another tea, he's for the dentist. For the dentist, he's in a second. But the cold, I hate the cold, okay? I cannot explain to you how much I hate the cold. It's Cubans cold, no. Well, you're not gonna like Vegas because it's the winter and that night is gonna get really chilly.

Yep. I'm not gonna like that. And I'm not going to like, uh, I'm not going to like a lot of things about what we're doing in a way. It scared me away, by the way. Like I'm not going to Kansas City. I was going to go. Remember I was planning looking at flights. I mean flights were expensive, but I was just like negative zero. Nope, not for me. It is being said that it is one of the coldest NFL games ever to have been played. And Stu got to saying, no, negative zero is balmy. There will be a wind chill. I'm sure it will feel worse than that. Cowboys, Packers, ice ball 1967 with windshield negative 48. I may come on. We've had negative 59 during playoff games with windshield. Okay.

The temperature without the windshield that day for the ice ball, by the way, negative 13. Dan. Let me ask the audience this question, is there a temperature that would cancel a football game? I know we had a game this year that was like six hours long because we had weather delays. I think it was a stealer game, all sorts of lightning and weather delays. Put it on the pole as well, Juju, please, that Levitard show.

Is there a temperature that would cancel a football game because there must be, right? There. I remember, I told you guys the story, right? We always talk about how tough these guys are. And Pena Tillman obviously was very tough. And he said he played a game in Chicago where he came out of the locker room. I remember I told you guys the story right we always talk about how tough these guys are in peanut tillman Obviously was very tough and he said he played a game in Chicago where he came out of the locker room You made the first tackle. He's like oh man. I want to go home. That's it. I don't want to do this anymore This is not because I need to tough it out or anything else. I'd like to quit right now This is not this is not humane what we're doing out here

This is going to be very unpleasant as a playoff game for the people playing it. Football is unpleasant enough. I'm seeing that the NFL does not have a specific temperature at which it will automatically call a football game off, but the league does have protocols in place to address extreme weather conditions, including cold temperatures. These protocols prioritize safety. So are you prioritizing safety if it is negative 47 degrees as the guy said? And now this was this was a long time ago. But older than that.

My guess is you're correct. You guys correct me on this, okay? I tell you it's zero degrees, that's horrifying enough. But 10 to 20 mile an hour wins with it. That wind is gonna cut through you. Oh my God, it's going to be like you're playing football like in a turn style of samurai swords. Let's go out to Tony here. He is joining us now from a minute. Yeah, I just called. I tried to be tough to take my shirt off, but

it's a little chilly up here. I don't know. I'm on the right place for the stadium. I think I'm close getting warmer here though I'm not sure I think the stadium is this way. I think you made it wrong turn. Yeah Where am I? I asked you to go to Kansas City and report live This is it that's Siberia They'd still play in that weather. Run up and down. Those mountains and peaks. You got to be careful saying put a little Vaseline on it once you got some looking at you that way. Oh, I mean I'll do it. It is not that is not that looks nothing like Kansas City.

Dan, have you been to Kansas City? I have been to Kansas City. I thought I was betting on you not being to Kansas City. Like this is right behind the stadium. Yeah, right next to the bar, but you place over there. Seasons greetings everybody. It is Mike Ryan here to talk to you about Miller Lite, but also here to talk to you about this festive season

and how Miller time can make holiday time even better. I love this winter weather. It's great excuse to go outside and toast some wonderful memories with some friends. Why don't you do that with an ice cold Miller Lite in your hand and in some parts of the country. You don't need a coosie. It just stays cold out there. How wonderful is that? Take a sip, my friends. Look around. Reflect on your year. You made a lot of good calls and no call better than having this Miller light right now. A beer that is brewed for taste. You know it's triple hops brewed. They could have stopped brewing it twice with hops, but they didn't.

They went that extra mile. And they brewed it with hops three times. The original light beer since 1975 and so the best one I'm talking about Miller light. Great taste, 96 calories. Go to Millerlightight.com slash stand to find delivery options near you or you can pick up some Miller Light pretty much anywhere they sell beer. Taste like Miller Time. Celebrate responsibly. Miller Brewing Company Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. Don Lebertard!

You know what a razor is, Dan? I do not know. I don't know what a Motorola razor is. You don't? No. I bet you you had one. I did not have one. don't know what a Motorola Razer is. You don't? No. I bet you you had one. I did not have one. Really? Let's walk through your phone history. What kind of phone? I never had a Motorola Razer. I did not have a Motorola Razer. Oh, not a Motorola Razer. The Motorola Razer Dan was the one that was like really, really thin. It flipped over,

but it was like as thin as like a razor blade that's why they called it the razor. What is a telegraph machine? I don't know they had one in down nabby. Stugats! The Titanic stop has sunk in stop. John take a bath to stop is missing stop. You think that was my phone. You think that my first phone was the Titanic's emergency signal.

This is the Don Lebertar show with this two-gats. Happy to have Amino Hassan here. You can catch him on ball with Charlotte Wilder every day except Monday, wherever it is you get your podcasts and also Draft King's network. His timing is impeccable, his camera presence is magical. He's a mean I'll ask and he's been great around here for a long time. I want to get an opinion from him on the following. I want to know which is the greatest raptor rant against the referees over the last couple of years. Is it from last night, the amazing coach Darko?

Listen to him here, Stugatts, because he loses his mind. Thank you, Doug. That's outrageous. What happened tonight, this is completely biased. This is shame. Shame for the referees, shame for the league to allow this. 23 free throws for them them and we get two free

throws in in a four quarter like how to play the game I all I understand respect for all stars and all that but we have star players on our team as well how's possible Scotty Barnes who is all star caliber player in this league he goes every single time to the rim with force and trying to get to the rim without flapping and not trying to get foul calls, he gets two free throws for a whole game. How's that possible? How are you going to explain that to me?

They had to win tonight? If that's the case, just let us know so we don't show up for the game. Just give them a win. But that was not fair tonight. And this is not happening first time for us. Scotty Barnes is going to be all-starred. He's going to be the face of this league. And what's happening over here during whole season,

I've been holding you back. It's a complete crap. Do you feel like you're getting any explanations at all that offensive foul? Did you, did you see, like, get any explanation? No, no, there is no explanation. They just, they just come up there, they review what, and they see what they want to see. They don't want to hear us, what we got to say. They don't want to hear the players.

They, they, they, they don't just want to protect us. Over again, they got 36 free throws, 23 free throws in the four quarter. What are we talking about? What are we talking about? What are we talking about? How are we gonna supposed to play? If this, uh, one off of you feel this has been happening to your team a lot throughout the season? It's happening a lot, but I'm telling our guys, be professional, keep fighting, keep going for the next one. But until when? For how long?

Thank you, Doug. Yeah, the player is definitely gonna pass that collection play around for that big as fine is going to get. Did he forget Scotty Barnes' last name the first time or he did seem to look down at his list. Barnes is going to be the face of the league. I mean face of the league coach, someone needs to follow up. Who is that? I feel like I'm just happy that he said Thank you Doug. I got to like to like thank you Doug Yes, it was very cordial at the beginning and I'd like video to just freeze an assortment of

His rage faces there because you guys he was filled with poison and that's not even the best one. You guys, I'm gonna give you till the end of the segment, but I'd like them to spring up behind me on the big board here, because he's got an enormous number of rage faces in the middle of that. I've found that video. But what I'd like before that is I'd like to compare that to last year when Van Vleet went off on the referees

in a different way. It wasn't like this, it was with more cursing, and I think it was with less rage, but it was pretty shocking. Let's listen to that. I mean, I don't mind. I'll take a fine. I don't really care. I thought, you know, Ben Taylor was terrible tonight.

I thought that most nights, you know, a couple of other, you know, out of the three, there's one or two that just the game, you know, and it's been like that a couple games in a row. Denver was tough, obviously. You come out tonight, you're competing pretty hard. The third quarter, I get a bull tech, changed the whole dynamic of the game, changed the whole flow of the game. And, you know, most of the reps are trying hard. I like a lot of the reps, they're trying hard, they're pretty fair. They communicate well. And then you've got the other ones who just want to be dicks and just kind of f**king game up. Nobody's coming to see the f**k. They come to see the players. And I think we're losing a little bit out of fabric of what the NBA

is and was and it's been disappointing this season. You could look up most of my text that she I've been with, Mentailer, officiating. So at a certain point as a player, you feel, it's personal. Your thoughts, I mean? Look, Fred was concise. He was calm. It was surgical the way his was delivered and Exploited filled It was cool. He did it with his elbows. He did it super cool, but there's something about you see what you guys don't understand about The Darko rant

That's what I call Eurocoach energy. You guys see you guys are used to coaches talking in euphemism talk about like we didn't get a Fair whistle tonight and then kind of like these no no no That's not how they do it in Europe. In Europe they go nuts like Darko did. And it was like, it brought me back to another time when I was like, oh, when I was watching a lot of European basketball when I was scouting and stuff. And I'm like, oh, the crazy post game rant

from Coach Darko, he hit every note. And like Chris said, the most important part was, as he's about to call Scotty Barnes, the face, a future face of the league, not of the franchise of the league. He had to look down to remember his name. Like, Scotty Barnes, face up the league. What have been better if he had a cigarette in his hand,

right? The entire time just like pointing people with the cigarette in his hand? No, no taking a rip. Doing that, getting your point across without your heartbeat going up, being very, very calm, getting your point across in a very good way with your arms folded, that's a sassin' like. Like to me, that's the better rant to me.

Ben Taylor, by the way, was a referee in both those games. Yes he was, and he's the common thread. Maybe he just hates Canada. Maybe we should get Bentayla on the line. No, this is what you do. You got the cigarette at first to start just hanging from the lip.

And as he talks, he's just kind of like, I don't believe they're da da da da. And then you wait for the next question, why are you taking the next question? You take a huge drag and interrupt the drag in the middle of the question because the question was so, it's just something normal.

It happens every time. I spoke coming out of here. Yeah, just coming out of all orpuses, as you stamp it out. Put it on the pole, please, Judeo. Are we still making friends? Oh, no, that's not the name that we've stopped making. I'll tell you what the name is.

I figured this out with Charlotte Wilder earlier. Scotty, they're on those Scotty's. They used to be Scotty's everywhere. Whater earlier. Scotty, there are no Scotty's. There used to be Scotty's everywhere. What's the last Scotty you heard of? Scotty Miller. Scotty Barnes. Scotty Barnes. Who's Scotty Miller?

Why receiver? Great. He's great. Scot Miller. You mentioned Fred the other day when the dog. Scotty Miller's name's Scott. The dolphins have a running back name, Jeff Wilson. And I was just like, our running backs name is Jeff.

You don't like that? It's just like, this is not, I feel like you need a better name if you're running back. What? Just, this is Jeff over here. Tony. Tony, do you regret saying calling great, Scotty Miller, the same way that I see the same way that I regret calling

the Brooklyn nets above average? No, see, mine is subjective. Yours was objective. You're like, Brooklyn net above average. No, see mine, mine is subjective. Yours was objective. You're like, they are above average and they are very below average. They're just average. Scott, I mean, if Tom Brady loves Scotty Miller, I love Scotty Miller. He's a super bowl champion. I'm looking at NFL.com.

I'm looking at pro football reference. This man's name is Scott Miller. He changed it though. He changed it. He used to be Scotty Miller. Well, you know why? Because he's trying to catch the wave. Sorry. Do you want to change? Scott Miller without Tom Brady. Scotty Miller with Tom Brady. Do you want to change your downgrade, your assessment of great on Scottie Barnes? His name is Scott also. No, it's not. It's

Scotty. It's not. It's Scotty. Okay. Look it up. I would like to get it. It's a Scott bar. It's a Scott Wayne Orange Junior. When you pull up NBA dot com, it's a Scott Bar, Wayne Barnes on your, huh? It says Scotty Barnes. The official website says Scotty Barnes when he's introduced in the starting lineups at one forward from Florida State University, Scotty Barnes. This man's name is Scott Barn or Scott Miller on NFL.com not not like full name Scott Montgomery Barnes. I'm not saying that. I'm just recently changed it though. I mean he used to be last year He was Scotty Barnes when he played with Tom Brady. He was Scotty Barnes 100% and that was with a Y That was back then. We're not making skidies anymore. That's my whole point. Come on guys. Billy. Why are you shaking your head?

I'm just trying to get through the day man. All right. That's the spirit and attitude we want around here That's the metal arc way. I look up someone's name and you're telling me it's wrong. I'm just trying to get through the day, man. All right, that's the spirit and attitude we want around here. That's the metal arc way. I look up someone's name and you're telling me it's wrong. When I'm looking up like his like government name, I'm talking about on the website NFL.com, Scott Miller stats news and video. Not Scottie Barnes. I don't understand this argument.

You don't? It's government name. You said what's his name? I said it's Scott. You said no, it's not. And then you said you looked up his government name, which would be his name. His name is Scottie Barnes. This guy's name is Scott Miller, it's not and then you said you looked at his government name which would be his name his name is

Scotty Barnes this guy's name is Scott Miller. It's not that hard. So man tics. It's not semantics It's a very big difference. You happen to be right. I hate to do this to Billy But yeah, maybe I should go Wayne Barnes, June. No, no, it's a tough day for a real Wikipedia. What are you talking about? Oh, oh, oh, they seem to tell me you believe like the aliens were across the street Oh, I Wikipedia said that was so maybe it's true. Oh, oh, this thing you had tell me you believe like the aliens were across the street. Oh, what Kapitia said that was. So maybe it's true. Oh, I'm Billy Gill. I like six different voices. I know. I've got a lot of you representing the internet. You're like, oh, my name is Gunny. He hasn't been here in weeks and he's got a number of gripes with the show. The first one is he says that we dropped the ball with Reese Davis.

That's fair. 100%. A thousand percent. How many people in this room? How many people? How many people? How do you not start? You got started with a dog? What was it? What you got to start with?

I don't remember. Football? Of Cess with dogs. His hair. I don't know what it was. What we did, we called him Prince. I wasn't there. I knew you weren't there.

I knew you weren't there. I knew Juju wasn't there either, because there's no way. There's no absolutely no way in hell You could start an interview. That was the biggest interview of the year. You guys got restavers the first interview with Restavers since he used the word naysayer that swept the nation everyone lost their minds and you guys are like, oh, So who do you like in the national country? No, I don't want football. Oh, why not? Oh, do you think Alabama's got what are you talking about? Does it make it better or worse that we had the video ready?

It was like in our prep, but we just didn't get to it. How do you not get to it? Hey, hey, what now? Let's interview Draymond Green and ask him nothing about choking anyone out or getting people or getting suspended or wondering what's happening. Let's ask him, so Draymond, what do you think about the one, two, two press

they ran against you last last night? Because we're a sports show, we ask what's their voice. He's done guys last night. Because Laura, where's Sports Show? We asked for another voice. He's done 40 of them. He's done 40 of them. He hasn't been in one of these. He's so right. To the most three weeks. I've never been more ashamed of this show.

You should have. I've never been more ashamed of this. We deserve this. They're like, you guys interviewed me, and say, I was like, no, they didn't. No, they didn't. I was like, no, no, they interviewed me. And I was like, I'm gonna probably happen before that.

No, no, no, it was on this date. The date like, and they didn't ask, I could not believe it. I went back and I listened to segment, I'm like, holy shit. They're really just gonna go through 12 and a half minutes. What, Reese Davis, nothing. Not even a little, hey, McAfee is a kind of silly guy, huh? Nope. You guys just ask silly-ass question.

We've asked them about McAfee before. Yes, I'm about to dog though. The dog? Lake was right there waiting for you. This is, it's been here. I brought it to you guys. This video, let's do it. This is what happens Tony, when you bring dogs in here.

That's true. Now everyone just think about dogs all the time. Oh, where's the dog? Where's Willow? Oh the dog, you have a dog? He has a dog. I have a dog too. Oh, we have dogs.

Don't you like when my dog does this? Dog dog dog dog. That's all you guys do. That's all you think about. You're never thinking about the big picture. Big picture. The biggest viral video with this man saying, Nasey are not realizing that it was a euphemism

for the word. Damn it. You timed it wrong. You timed it wrong. You came in too hard. I'm rusty. Don Libertard. Off-handed to me and Chris before he started playing.

He's like, seems like that Tony guy gets triggered pretty easily. And I laughed the hardest out loud I've ever laughed in my life. Still got, he's triggered pretty easily. That guy. That's easy. That's so, take it off. I'm crazy. It's crazy.

No, you know what I've realized? No, you know what I'm trying to take you on. It's crazy. It's crazy. No, you know what I've realized? No, you're so. No, you're so. Love putting their athletic insecurities on me. Don't project that shit on me.

You suck. Not my problem. Chris Cody leaves a game early. Oh, let's support Chris Cody. Whatever the f***. Billy does. Let's support that. My mind is going to Buffalo.

Oh, let's go to Buffalo. Let me help you. What the f***? What the f***? I'm counting you totally proved that a point. I'm going to give you a point. I'm going to give you a point. Tony, you totally proved that you weren't in all on him. Thank you. Thank you. This is the Don Lebatar Show with this two-gats. You will get your football fix headed into the playoffs here

with Diana Rossini. And I believe Jermar Chase and T Higgins are joining us together really a little bit yep so we will get to that as well but before we do that because we have Amino Hassan here and there is a lot of interesting basketball to get to I pronounce your name right. Hassan Peffa. It's a fine man. It sounded like it would have been correctly pronounced if you were from London. A little bit of Hassan is here. I'll tell you what just happened here.

I'm gonna be totally honest with everybody involved. I'm uncomfortable with what a mean tried to do at the end of the last segment. If you're going to do that, you have to get the timing right. Right, good. I got you. You got to stick the landing on.

You have to there. If you're gonna play on that dangerous line, uh, you can't bail and pull the parachute four seconds early, uh, or if you pull the parachute four seconds late, you know, what happens to everybody involved in the pulling of a parachute four seconds late, you were, you were just playing with fire there in a way that was unpleasant. It's funny because in this case, it would actually be the opposite. If I pulled the parachute early, disaster strikes. If I pulled it late, it would have been this...

Well, instead though, what you did is you stared at me. We're falling down the sky and the parachute needs to be pulled at exactly the right time. And what you looked at me and you're like, I'm four seconds early. The worst possible. It's not, it's not, it's, it's, it was that your timing was odd. My rather splats. Your rage, your rage was, your energy level was through the roof.

You've rarely come in here that hot and unleashed as many, as many impersonations in five minutes as you did there. I'm experiencing energy spikes all through 2024, so far. This is what day 10, energy spikes through the roof. Is it the dry January? It's the dry January I think. I think this is what happens.

Like I've needed copious amounts of alcohol to keep my personality even keeled and just consistent. And now without that shackle holding me back a little bit, I'm bursting into season. It's a dry with alcohol or alcohol and caffeine, which one are you and Roy doing? What's caffeine? Coffee, tea, I don't drink any of that.

Thank you, Robin. Yeah, it's just alcohol for me. Like I drink tea, but there's definitely no caffeine, energy spike over here. I'm just, you look having me. Yeah, it's just alcohol for me. Like I drink tea, but there's definitely no caffeine or energy spike over here. I'm just- You look drowsy. You don't get tired. We've noticed, right?

You look drowsy. You always look a little bit drowsy. Recently, you've gotten the caffeine spike of the Panthers have won eight in a row and so you seem to have a little more energy. But right now, you look sleepy. Somewhere between sleepy and despondent. Well, that happens when you have children now.

Right. At a late game last night, that's St. Louis, right? Yeah. Well, that happens when you have children now. At a late game last night, that's St. Louis, right? Yeah, well, and it's not really a late game. I mean, the game started eight o'clock. That's late for me. It's late for you. 730, anything fast to 730 starts. Yes.

Seems like a Matthew contract back, everybody. Oh, yeah. Yeah, once the calendar flipped, so did he. Inperiod Hatrick, trick. Yeah, that's a hat trick. Yeah. I love whenever someone says someone's back, you have to say it like magic Johnson. You say guys Matthew Kachak is officially back. There was like a six year span where Maddie Johnson every year declared that the dumb Contest was back. Every time, anyone would do it. And it never was. And it never was.

But it was like, guys, the Dunk Contest is officially back. It went away, but now it's officially back. And Jomerant has run through the same. He was back and he was exciting that he was back. And now he is gone for the season. The Grizzlies looked, I mean, that was startling, right? A couple of years ago, when Jal was out for a while, they went something like 22 and 4 or something

and looked just as good and Memphis started the season worse than anybody, like, except Detroit. Except Detroit coach and the NBA. But Detroit didn't have any expectations. For Memphis has expectations and their season has been ruined and the atmosphere around their games is awful because that's a really great basketball town.

That town doesn't have a lot else when it comes to sports identity, why are you laughing? I'm laughing because I imagine you saying that, like John Taffer, John Taffer will call it, Memphis a really great basketball town. These people love their hoops. So what do we want? We want to have a concept that brings them in.

Yeah, that's exactly. That's only when he's angry. Tony's doing the thing where he kind of looks around, something invisible in front of him. That's only when he's angry and he's yelling at you. But when he's trying to tell you about a really great basketball town Memphis they love their tie. Got a good hoops town though.

A really good hoops town. So we're gonna get a bar concept here that brings people in. Why are you doing that? Because you said Memphis is a great basketball town. Dry monster. Yeah, like God the energy is through the roof. Can you feel it? Is there osmosis?

Is everybody else feel it? Billy, I know you feel it. Look at it. I'm feeling, I'm radiant. Yeah. Oh my God, that's like I in the back row. I'd like to feel slightly less of it. Less energy?

Slightly less. Less energy. Slightly less. Man. Show me your range here. Let's go. Bring it down a little. Oh, I'll do the Fred Van Vliet.

Hold on. There you go. Yeah, so. You want to cigarette? Oh, that would be great Fred Van Vliet. Hold on. There you go. Yeah. So, we want to cigarette. Oh, that would be great. Can we all the wheel out smoking here? No.

Okay. Sure. So give him, give him a cigarette. I tried. I have to go out to the car. Okay. You don't have a cigarette. You don't have a car.

That cannot be true. That's a nice one. I have to go to the car. I believe you. I'm probably not going to go ahead and let's not smoke a cigarette. No, he's, he's got. Five, I'm gonna have one. He's gonna go out with that. So Sunday night, the men have never been so happy to leave

mid-second. Bye. Billy muttered under his breath with genuine remorse, bad. He's read. Billy never gets embarrassed. He is read with shame at like, how do I not know better at this point in my career? That if I mention a bad idea, Dan's going to seize it, he's going to grab it and it's going to become a thing we do.

Well, I'm also looking around to see the sprinkler situation because like, there's just not just the smoking shouldn't be going on in that room and then everything will stink and you're not going to get that smell out of there. But like, there's also equipment in there that will get wet if there's a flame or whatever and it goes off for some time. We did the fog machine the other day. And it was fine. I've been working on my judgment.

This is not a good idea. Wait a second. Are we trying to say that if you smoke a cigarette, the smoke alarm and detectors will go off and the sprinklers will go off? Generally how it works, no? So if you smoke a cigarette? I have never tested it. I assume you smoke. I don't think it'll go off. Generally how it works, no? So if you smoke a cigarette, I have never tested it.

I assume you smoke. I don't think it'll go off, but if it does, then, I'm on record. I think this is not a good idea. Okay, everyone is on record as saying that this is a bad idea, but Stugatz has gone to his car to get cigarettes, and we're going to try this.

And what we're going to try, you didn't even get me one. What we're going to, he's gonna smoke a cigarette. No, I got you one. What we're gonna try. He's going to smoke a cigarette. No, I got you one. What we're going to try to do. I mean, he's here to the thing. Amine is going to try and give in his most relaxed form.

He's going to create a new character, which is basketball take guy, who gives takes while relaxed and smoking a cigarette indoors, giving off relaxed rule breaker. Can we smoke weed in here asking for a friend? Depends. Rolled up or vape? What friend?

What's the difference? Big difference. Huge difference. Huge difference. Huge difference. Huge difference. Let's get him a lighter as well because I mean, they're good.

The bits work in. Oh, come on. Like really, we don't. They come in there. They come in there. Oh, come on. Like really, we don't. Oh, they come in. They come in. They're already there. It would be fun even soon as you light it, the spring goes. Yeah.

Video take care of that. Hopefully as soon as the water comes down, I'll get all of the photos of a rage filled coach d'Arco behind me so that it's just a, so that I get everything I want at the same time Let's do this. I mean the payoff here just smokey. Well the payoff is not not doing it. So now we're in too deep I never know we're not though. I mean you're allowed to avoid that Listen if Billy offers a bad idea and it results in us all getting soaked.

That's a winner. But I do think though that the smoke machine, a dry ice machine that we had in here to announce the all the smoke partnership produced is slightly more smoke than what a mean smoking cigarette will produce. I also think they turned off the smoke detectors for that day. Wasn't there a fire in this building on Friday? Was there? The alarms always going off. Yeah, but everything's dry. So it seems like the sprinklers didn't go off.

Or it didn't work. So if there was an actual fire, do you think all the sprinklers were? You know what I was wondering about those sprinklers? Is it like, you know what every chemistry class you have that shower in the corner that everyone's like, oh, what happens if you pull it? And then there's always like the one class clown

that pulls it and you realize like, oh my God, I didn't realize water can come out that fast in that volume. I wonder if that's what these sprinklers are like, because I feel like these are just like, and then that's it, and it wouldn't put out a fire. We are going to try this and see if I mean has gotten any better at timing than he was

in the last segment because we're going to give the floor to a mean. I'm being real here. I just got someone in my ear a high up saying, please don't do that. Don't do what? Who was the high up? What is it? Don't do what? Now we're going to start listening to the high ups.

But no one's higher than Dan. I say don't do it. Yes, I don't. I vote no. I'm voting no. Was it don't do it. I say don't do it. I vote no. I'm voting no. Was it GQ? If it was GQ we should listen.

Prevent water from getting on the spot. I just saw a male skipper. Skipper? Well I do believe it is reckless to do that. And, all right, again I'm gonna have to feud with Skipper. We haven't had one of these in the pepper. Yeah, can someone bet the cigarette for me? Yeah I'll bet it, bring it in here. Give it to me. They're good, I bet it them, all right. and the pepper. Can someone bet the cigarette for me?

Yeah, I'll bet it. Bring it in here. I'll bet it. All right, the first thing I need from video is I need all the rage faces of Coach Darko somewhere behind me, please. Thank you. That's good.

That's excellent. Oh, my God. Yes. It looks like Tom Sizemore. And a shortman of rage. Tom Sizemore. The late Tom Sizem size more RIP smoke one form you're gonna smoke one form now all right this is the hottest of take it's got actual fire in it we've got 90 seconds here oh boy of a mean L has and there's gonna be extra smoke when

me and skipper have to go at it because I've broken the rules here on smoking and I smoke weed. You have 90 seconds to mean to tell us everything you think about John Moran and none of the recycled stuff from oddball. I've heard that and it's good, but if people want the exclusive stuff, it's at oddball. What are you laughing about, Tony? I just told Stuart and his headphones like, imagine this is setting the precedent that we can go to the Supreme Court with that stoo gotgots can come back to the old days of smoking Oh, I'm there.

Oh, indoors. This is setting the precedent right now. So it's two guts. If he lights that cigarette, I mean does what's going to have all the precedent to go on and smoke every single day in the studio? This is like John. What are you going to do with that? Six inside. What's going to happen with you?

We should get the extra from outside by the way. It's 45 seconds left. I love a good payoff what is the payout? What man even sticking it's here can I ask that like there's no man that's stopping us 40 seconds are left. Let's see what happens. There may indeed not be a payoff So so here's the deal. So I I went to Sun's Grizzlies on on Sunday and that this was when he was questionable to play and then I was walking out to the court and they stopped us because there were players coming out and I said what players are coming out the games about to start and it was a job and he had his

arm in his sling and I said oh that doesn't look good. So. Well just like that segment over time for Diner Seenie. We got 10 seconds left. So we got 10 seconds left. This is my hot take. Don't do it. Lighter doesn't work. Damn, you can't predict that. No!

And you have to do it. Good for Memphis. You know that like weed. Good for Memphis is the take! you
