The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - The Big Suey: Arbetter's Hot Dog Hall of Fame

Episode Date: February 20, 2024

Bob Ryan watches the oldest movies ever made, and Kelsey Plum dismisses YouTuber Tristan Jass in the best way possible. Then, Arbetter's Hot Dog Hall of Fame inductee Ron Magill joins the show to discuss the cutest animal he's ever worked with and his major disappointment in Mike Ryan and Chris Cote's Cyclones. Plus, Greg Cote is disrespectful toward Ron, but not as disrespectful as Rick Pitino was toward his own team over the weekend. Can coaches like Pitino evolve into communicating with this generation of younger players? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You're listening to DraftKings Network. Welcome to the big sui, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBatard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not gonna 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 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, fat face and the habitual liar. Today's episode of the Dan LeBatard show with Stugatz is brought to you by Peloton.

There is a lot of stuff I want to get to. I want to get to the Daytona 500. I want to get to Kid Rock. I want to get to Mike and Cody saying it's championship or bust for Miami in Major League Soccer. But before I do that, I need to know, because a question went on answered last segment, what was on Turner Classic movies

at the time that Bob Ryan was complaining that that's it, he's done with the All-Star Game, him and his wife are gonna go see Turner Classic movies? That's eight PM on Saturday night. How Green Was My Valley, which of course, as you know, Dan, the 1941 film based on the 1939 novel directed by John Ford, who was born in the 1800s, famously beat out Citizen Kane

for the Academy Award for Best Picture. Okay, that was an outrage, by the way. Major controversy. The director died over 50 years ago. So am I, though, can I just ask the basketball watching America that I want to embrace? Can you please see the comedy in Bob Ryan who covered those old Celtics of Havilcek stole them all? Bird stole them all that's your Johnny most very well done I think a good limited fake that but that era that that era brought by that gravelly announcer

that we no longer live in those times we we are often another place now with what this all-star game should be and that bob ryan throws his remote and discuss and then his wife grabs it and they watch the nineteen forty one movie instead that that's comedically perfect i love the bob ryan says respect the game when people are literally jumping over a shack to dump the ball The whole thing is ridiculous. None of it is serious. None of it should be it the men in in baseball Are hitting underhand throws for home runs is ridiculous all of it

NHL skills competition Tyreek Hill playing flag football. I mean all of it. I kind of like that though I like Tyree Tyree playing flag football. They just need to do celebrity games Just making American Ninja Warrior like just just me just like the game zone the skills Saturday night Everybody was complaining about everything except for Steph versus Sabrina Well because it didn't seem like there was a lot. I mean, what's the entertainment? Guys, I swear to you, the sport needs to evolve to keep up with the changing habits of young people, okay? This is a league that's undergone,

undergone like some political strife. I don't think a league has been shaken more. It's customer base by, I don't like what's happening over there. It started with George Floyd. And in the last five years, they got to get to a new TV contract and here's their big sport and people are waiting. Like, do you know what a trope this is to make it? Okay.

Let's read into what you said. Like they have to appeal to their, their fan bases, dwindling, dwindling attention spans. Who, who was that all star game for? Who, who came away from that all star game saying like, ah, finally, an all-star game that gets me? I don't think there's a single generation that was happy with what they saw. It was a crap game. There were no fouls, and I know no one's clamoring for more fouls, but at least if the referees

call them, that institutes some sort of governance. You can't just do anything. If the referees, the ones in control, are going to let everything go, then the players' effort level might match that. The ridiculous implication of All-Star Games and Mass is that our regular product is just not good enough. We have to give you this made-up showcase in the middle of the season with all these bells and whistles just to amuse you because our regular product is insufficient. Folks, it's pretty simple. Bet the over. Enjoy your night. I mean, it was

I had the over. What a fun night that was. You know what? I've kind of swapped and I've gone back to Bob Ryan's side now. I was thinking about it, Dan. I saw a tweet that came out during the, the tech summit. Um, the, this is a tweet from front office sports the NBA has unveiled NB AI which allows fans to activate movie mode and watch live games animated like like popular films NBA I show me the Pacers game as if it were a spider-man movie how about let's just watch some ball huh what happened a good old ball you throw on the TV you're watching Tyrese Halliburton shoot and you just watch a regular game Rick Smith's grabbing boards You don't need AI you need a spider-man movie as an as an NBA game

What happened to watching ball Daniel? That's the Disney thing for your football didn't work that well I don't have you guys remember that broadcast. Well, I've got to issue a correction How green was my valley would have been playing during the slam dunk contest if we're looking for what was playing during the all-star game It's the 1964 Technicolor Heist Classic. Top copy. What? Whoa, what? Top copy.

T-O-P-K-A-P-I. Never heard of it. I thought that when you ask who's this for, I would say you tell me because I don't connect with Tristan Jass. I had to look up who that was. He is a YouTuber who's got a lot of influence and he was playing in the celebrity all-star game i don't know many of the celebrities who are out there and as he's coming off the court with the ball in his hand he comes by kelsie plum who really gives him this is an awkward way he seems like he's happy

to meet her he's giving her uh... baller to baller respect here right he's and, and, and here this is what he gets. Right, but he was going to be aggressive to score. Pass the ball. That double slap was the double slap. The double slap. Let's hear that again. That it's because no, it's it what?

And it's, it's, it's listen to this because jazz, this is, he's offended by this, correct? Right, but he was going to be aggressive to score. Oh, that slap. I don't like that. He took to X and retweeted the clip and said, I had more assists at halftime than she averaged her whole last season and more assists at halftime than her whole career average. You pass the ball at Kelsey Plumb. Kelsey Plumb said you little naked mole rat, fair. And then handshake emoji. He does look kind of like a naked mole. Let's, let's go back to the slap on the hand because she looked him dead in the eye. And I mean, come on, calling him a ball hug when he's

going over there to try to respect, like it's a great disrespect she hit him with. Right. But he was going to be aggressive to score. I mean, come on, the content should- Honestly, what she says there is nothing compared to just the double- The slap is- It's so much worse. She slapped his fist. Can you isolate that sound for me?

She slapped his fist. She slapped his fist and it may- They're all isolated. Thank you. I mean, she was complaining about passing it in the celeb game, though. I know. There was nobody passing in the All-Star game. Bam, even said, like, they don't pass it back.

And you could see that there were moments, Lillard and Halliburton were kind of having this duel, like, who's going to go for it? Who's going to go for the All-Star MVP? And you could see Lillard looking at a wide open Halliburton and deciding, no, no, this is mine. I'm going to go for it. Chris Cody, do this with me, okay, please.

I'm thinking on my feet in this chair. I want all of us to slap our hands. In unison. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no about like the loudest of disrespect is all of us hitting the back of our fist because Mike Ryan wants badly to talk about senators panthers and penalty minutes and then disrespect hundred and sixty seven the last time these two teams got together including a moment in the third period where everyone on the ice got a 10 minute game misconduct and the call from the referee was 10 minute game misconduct on quote everyone on the ice is incredible. Chris your timing is not exceptional. I'm going after kind of after he ends in a sentence every time. was 10 minute game misconduct on quote everyone on the ice is incredible

Chris your timing is not exceptional I'm going after kind of after he ends in a sentence every time no but every time I think if you want to come to do it then then Mike if you want to conjure rivalry you have to summon storylines that conjure disrespect do you not right although I'm not really sure what the storyline is when it comes to the Panthers and Senators other than Brady Kachuk and Matthew Kachuk seem to try to prove to their teammates that they're not going to take it easy on one another and they end up overcompensating. Back in my day, you heard of a celebrity.

When someone was referred to as a celebrity and you see him slapping and slapping wrists and one to the other, I don't know who either of those people are. And I think celebrities, if you have to wear a hello, my name is Name Tag, you're not a celebrity. I will say that. These pop culture moments,

I kind of forced myself to watch them so I can know who these people are because I can feel myself becoming the the sports show host of yesteryear where they just complain about the Grammys and the VMAs and say they don't know anybody know I'd like Force myself and I pry my eyes wide open so I can know who kai senet is that's that's one of the more known ones Who's Adam Blackstone? Okay, why is he playing in the silver? Kevin's brother. Can I if I can. That's Blackstone. Kevin Blackstone. This one's Blackstone. Funny joke. The thing that I want to get into that Mike is saying here because he said he said it again who's this for and I would say the

NBA has to figure out how to capture and we've talked about this the entertainment dollar and bandwidth is stretched super thin. How do I capture young people? Everybody wants to know how to capture young people. If Cody and me are yelling, who the hell are the celebrities? They're not for us. The guy I'm talking about here, I had to look him up.

He's got five million YouTube followers. There's a whole other world that you aren't you greg codie aren't spending any time with right they're trying to market to young people okay well all I'm saying is Tristan Jass God love him he's apparently a self-created influencer but who what does he do like he's got following he's a leader he's a he's got following. He's a leader. He's a, he's a thought leader. He's a entertainment leader. These people have giant platforms and, and they are chronicling their story to the people

who care about them and spreading the seeds of the league through the next generation of internet. Like this is, you're, you're seeing what everyone is doing and creating their own brands, aren't you? The young people are quicker to this, faster. They're better at it. And so that's what they're marketing to. And, and, and can it, what else though? Hi, you know, and, and listening to an hour of this show, I now understand why everyone in the sports media space is on vacation this week.

We got to drag this one out for a full week boys. Who is John Markle Tambari? Put the whole game on TikTok instead of instead of going half-assed at this, where you get like a few TikTokers and you're trying to get the ratings on your broadcast network, just take all influencers and just stream the game live on TikTok and on Instagram live. How about 20 TikTokers on the court at once? And versus like five great NBA players?

So all okay, that's good. Is that him is that jazz? We're on air dad. I know what's the name Tyler jazz? Trace Tyler Bass he looks like an Ed Sheeran impersonator like a young Ed Sheeran That as you have ginger sons. That's offensive Everyone does this with ginger's if you have red hair you look like Ed Sheeran that as you have ginger sons. That's offensive. Everyone does this with ginger's if you have red hair You look like Ed Sheeran. I mean that you just did it and he does I'm pretty sure he's looking at something that wasn't on the screen though He's doing his own private show. That's why you asked him

I mean trying to explain preview monitors to Greg. Go ahead. It just says it It's Chris's job now. It says preview. Preview. Not on air. Ah, okay. Why are you looking up? You're like preview. I mean, I don't know. Hey folks, it's Mike Ryan.

Now, you've had the distinct privilege of knowing me for close to 18 years and you know that I've changed. A lot of my personal life has changed. I've changed as a professional. I am a parent now. My level of involvement in my favorite college football program I've changed. A lot of my personal life has changed. I've changed as a professional. I am a parent now. My level of involvement in my favorite college football program has also changed.

But one thing that hasn't changed for me is my favorite beer. You know when it's real with me. I think you do anyways. And you know how much I love Miller Lite. I've loved it forever, really. It's my favorite beer of all time. And it made all the great moments in my life all that much better.

And when Miller Lite came aboard on our show, I was super stoked about it because I believed in the product because every time I take a sip of Miller Lite, I look around and I think, yeah, this was the right call. Times change. People like me can change, but you can always enjoy the great taste of Miller Lite. Tastes like Miller Time.

Don Lebatard! Well, Charlie sent Charlie had this Charlie as far as I know. So just Charlie's title in my phone. Are you going to say anything? Stugatz! How familiar were you at the time with Chewbacca? Like, how, your upbringing had how much Chewbacca in it? This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats. I'm not sure, but I think I just saw Tony Genuflect more respect for Ron McGill than even when he was playing basketball against the gangly 6'7", 6'8", old man, Ron McGill, who blocked your shot. He did, Dan, but at this point I have to Genuflect before the man who there's only a couple people in this hall of fame Dan he is in the are betters hot dog Hall of Fame and if you don't know what that is on

87th and Bird Road there is an establishment in Miami Staple are betters hot dogs that is the only wooden structure for like 25 miles, okay? And Ron was there yesterday shaking hands kissing, kissing babies, being inducted into our betters. We are now in the accolades and honors portion of the Ron McGill career. Where does this one rank Ron? Because this is maximum Miami getting into this hall of fame. That is max. It ranks way up there. I mean, I went there when I was in high school with the guys. It was a cool place to meet. We could eat every kind of hot dog you could ever think of. You know, Ronnie Arbetter, one of the past owners who God rest his soul. I played point with the guys, it was a cool place to meet. We could eat every kind of hot dog you could ever think of.

You know, Ronnie Arbetter, one of the past owners who God rest his soul, I played point guard. He played point guard on our team at Beth-Am for the 45 and older league when we won the league at Beth-Am. Greg, why are you laughing, Greg? Are you laughing at him getting high school nostalgic? Why are you laughing?

I just, Ron, is there any event in South Florida or worldwide that you would not attend if invited Shut up Greg you know you should be so lucky. No, I just feel like We never hear the end of it if you were inducted into the same Hall of Fame. You wouldn't shut up about it. It would be on your topic list. You'd want to dedicate three podcast episodes to it. You looking down on the Orbetter's Hall of Fame is rich. Unbelievable. I'm actually a member of a hot dog Hall of Fame as well. Lawtons in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Not true. Lawton Hall of Fame. It's not even there anymore. I can't speak about it. You're right. It isn't. But the Hall of Fame exists in perpetuity. And I'll always be a member, not a charter member, unfortunately. Greg, we were talking about one of the great honors of

Ron McGill's career. Arbetters Hall of Fame. And you could not stifle your laughter. I'm sorry. You couldn't stifle your laughter. It's just funny. A hot dog Hall of Fame. I thought I was in the only one. I didn't know Arbetters had a hall of fame. Greg, stop with your made up story and stop deflecting that I caught you in an honest moment. You weren't expecting me to go to you. You were laughing at Ron McGill's honor.

It's funny. It's funny to me. Isn't it funny, Ron? It's a hot dog hall of fame. It's funny that I was inducted into it. I mean, I still hold it in really high esteem. I don't know if I deserve to be there How do they make their dogs? I've never had an Arbetters dog. You've offended Ron You you guys made a book together now you've offended Ron. A book we made a baby together Ron and I Don't put it that way. We burst the book

Open my mouth a little bit Hello, hey yo No, it's a great honor. It really is You know, it's a lot of great people there is a lot of great history You know that might not be a great honor for somebody who lives in Georgia But anybody who lives in South Florida who grew up in Miami, you know our better. It's really different It's really I don't think Broward know about our betters. Yeah, I don't. It's really disrespectful. Miami, what you do at the Burt road right there.

You were, baby, that's what it all the Columbus Southwest. All the people went there. We all went there. Hold on a second. Greg Cody's Broward is showing here. That's what it is. Yeah. All the way, baby. Nine, five, four all the way. I don't even know if there's a great hot dog joint. If there were a Jackson's ice cream hall of fame and you got the hall of fame of Jackson ice cream, that would be an honor. You would be doing weeks of shows. Heaw three would

be playing there and selling merch. Oh my God. What is Jackson ice cream? What is that? Jackson's ice cream. You don't know. Come on. Oh, see, you're Miami is showing ice cream in America. What is is that? It's like the it's like a known ice cream shop in Broward. Oh, bro I went there. You said it. I'm a went there kitchen sink. You never had the kitchen sink thing Actually, you deez uncle is the guy who owns that that place How about that? Yeah, I know he has a connection to it. Is it common for restaurants to have halls of fame I asked that seriously. Like, is there a root-crust-hall fame? I have no idea. Yeah, I mean, there's places, you know,

you go to places like the stage deli, you go to places like, what's that place that used to put all the portraits on the wall? The steakhouse, the big steakhouse they used to have? Oh, right, that's right, yeah. Okay, we're talking old steakhouses with Ron McGill and Greg Cody. The Buford Grill.

I wanna play for Ron and the audience. I wanna show them what Ron is claiming is the single cutest animal he has ever worked with in his life. Let's look at this picture here. It was adorable. It looks like a stuffed animal. And Greg Cody, look at this picture right here.

You tell me if you've ever seen a cuter animal than the one Ron McGill is holding right here. It looks like a stuffed animal. It looks like an Easter bunny. That can't be real. It looks like the slipper that used to put on the little girls used to put on those little bunny slippers. That's what it looks like. That can't be real. That's why I included a video in there so people can see I wasn't joking.

The thing is a lie. It's real. Oh, that's crazy. And what is the story? Is there a story you just, what's, what, what did this knock off? What was the cutest animal you held before this one? Gosh, I don't know. It probably like, you know, a koala or baby cheetah or something like that. But this thing just seemed unreal. It seemed almost caricaturish.

I mean, I looked at it and it was cuter than any little stuffed plush toy I saw in the gift shop. The thing was just unreal looking. I've never seen, and listen, I want to make it really clear. Generally speaking, rabbits don't make good pets. So I'm not endorsing to have a rabbit as a pet, but this rabbit was special. This was, I'd never seen anything like it. Who would win a fight? That rabbit or a full grown lion?

What, what Greg, go sit in the panel. No, I'm just curious. Go sit in the panel box. Go sit in the panel box. Go sit in the panel. No, no, no, no, no. Get out of here. Just go sit in the panel box and put it from throw him in a jungle throw

What a terrible don't know just get out of here just He I'll tell you what happened. He got the promotions in early for His podcast he's a star in Vegas. He did that whole singing thing in Vegas. It's gone totally to his head He's got a best-selling book with you And he's totally out of control because now the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody is also taken off because he does exclusive interviews with he ha 3 and he's just and and last night was the pfpi gala, which we haven't even talked about Sunday night. Yeah

But he's useless for three days after that because he's drinking up all his fame, all his stupid celebrity fame. It's annoying. Honestly. The two days after the gala is always just, and then let with last week with the He Ha three, he's on another one this week. Oh, okay. So that's what's happening. I know. No, but it's onto his head over the last three weeks. That's sad. Well, I don't know which is sadder. Mike Ryan, I was talking to him during the break. He thinks it's a greater trick to pull, not the he haw three stardom of Greg Cody. Stu gots has a book that's coming out. We're not sure he's actually writing it. And we're

sure that he did not write it. The credit that he is taking for himself is that these were his takes, which I think a large part of them were planted in his head by Billy Gill, but these were his takes. So he did write it in that they're just basically transcribing his thoughts. So this is a Sugat's book dictated to Dan Stanczik. It's the greatest book. It's the greatest grift. It's art. It's the Cosmos laughing. It took him five years to figure out exactly how to write a book without writing it and collect an advance, but he finally got there. He did with a big publishing house. Let me get this video here of this hippo, Ron. How is Dan Lebedard doing? What are the, any updates on Dan Lebedard, your hippo? Hey, he's doing great. It's your hippo. Danny's doing great. I mean, he's a very popular.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's a little dangerous right there. Holy cow. Okay. So now what you're doing, but you're not being very smart. No, this security guard is smacking the shit out of a hippo and the hippo can bite his head off like a melon. He doesn't realize what he's doing there. I said, that's a little crazy. That's a little crazy. That's a very dangerous move there. Okay. And so this is not the way to do this. But you're saying because he's gonna... At least he's wearing a mask. Let me see here. Let me see some videos here of some great apes being annoyed or annoying some of their elders here.

I want you to tell me what it is that we're watching here, Ron. Oh, this is just typical kids just want attention. They're being little brats and that's their way of wanting attention. Kids are kids no matter what animal you're speaking about. Lion cubs will do the same thing to their parents. Primates are notorious for it. We tend to bond more because we see more of ourselves

than the primates because we're primates ourselves. So you see this kid just being that obnoxious little kid. Everybody knows one of those. Everybody knows one of those. Everybody knows one of those. I know it's what's going to happen eventually. One of the adults is just going to slap them in yesterday and that crap will stop. Are there babies that are more annoying than others,

more mischievous? Absolutely. There's no question about it. There's no question about it. Just like in people, you have little spoiled brats that you want to slap their ears off, and then you have these great kids that are just really great kids. How about species wide? What is like that?

Is there a more annoying child in one animal kingdom than in most of the others? I think you'll find that generally more intelligent, the animal, the more diverse their behaviors of annoyance can be and more that we can relate to. But generally speaking, you know, animals, as soon as they become mobile, you know, it's like I remember when our first kid was born as soon as he was walking here. Oh my god And then you learn what a hell that was gonna be as soon as the second one was born as soon as she started walking I knocked her ass back down Ron with the orcas being very critically endangered. Do we know? The whereabouts of every orca on the planet?

No, no we don. I think we know most of the pods. You know, there are pods, different pods in different areas of the world, but we certainly don't know the location of every orca on the planet. No. Ron, I need to close here with, I can't believe I heard, I don't know if there is a schism, if there are problems in the front office or an ownership, but I heard there was a players only meeting with the cyclones, that the cyclone season is off to a disastrous start. Uh, ownership is in shambles and you guys have, I don't know, is it mutiny on your hands? What's happening with the cyclones and the,

it was, it was the worst night of Pileye in my life. I'm going to do it. I'm going to be honest with you. I mean, those guys just, I don't know what happened to them. They just kind of gave up. They threw in the towel. It was like, I don't know what happened to them. They just kind of gave up. They threw in the towel. It was like, I don't know what else to say. I listen, I am so invested in this, in this game and this, in this team. And I thought the draft was really well done by Mike and the guys, but those guys just went out there and disappointed us. I just hope it was just a profoundly off night because I want to tell you right

now, I never dropped so many F bombs in my life. And I just don't do that. It was just like, you know, what the F is going on here? I looked at Mike, I go, are we throwing this? Somebody cast off what's going on here? Explain that. Explain this to me. Last time I went, it was the championship game. Small, totally spoiled.

It's a big night. The places are crowded. You don't, it has them at the end of the night is shirtless and sliding on a floor in champagne because they've beat, they, they kicked the, the ass of the cyclones. That was not a fun night. You're saying the most recent night was worse than that. Yeah. Pick up that at least with the finals. That's at least, you know, it's not bad when you lose in the Super Bowl. I understand that we got there. That's good. Okay. This is just a regular season against some slaps.

El Barba, the guy who's the freaking, looks like out of the damn pirates of the Caribbean, Medusa face, and he's out there and he's beating us. The guy, I mean, it's like we put the sesta on our offhand. Like the right-handed guy said, we're gonna play what I'm the left hand of the sesta today. That's what it looked like. I mean, there was so many unforced errors.

It was like, and there was no aggression. They're all waiting for somebody else to make a mistake. Instead of going in there to all of them, do some drop shots, do something. Instead of just, okay, let's see if they drop it. Let's see if they drop it. That's what I felt was going on. Mike Ryan, and he's nailing it. See, Romagill knows how to play like a cyclone.

And the rest of the team has apparently forgotten what it, what it means to be a cyclone. We've played 18 matches this year and only come away victorious three times. It is a disastrous start for the cyclones. We are a proud franchise. We've made it to as many finals as anyone else in this proud leak, and we need to turn things around beginning today. We help players. It was a closed door meeting, even though it was out in the open. It was players only even though I was there, but and some locker room, there weren't there. The locker room doesn't have doors.

It's an open front time. They don't have big locker rooms. It's small. Everything needs to change and it needs to change starkly beginning right now. We don't just need to win. We need to start blowing teams out. I gotta tell you something. They should just take the thread of Mike Ryan's texts that evening to the players during the matches. That would be some of the best reading on the planet because I saw Mike typing so fast and words that I didn't even know existed. You were insulting teams by text. You were insulting players by text rather.

I insulted players direct to their face. You can't be playing so conservatively when you got the likes of Elbarba out there. I think we only have one win against guys like that fine players that have improved but Joseph barba, Korea These are Matt Bradley. These are matchups that you need to dominate and we're not doing you were texting the players phones While they were playing I was I was texting some of the players as the games were going on What's going on like why aren't we being more aggressive? You have the front court advantage? Why are you make some guys run Chris are you this metal some Chris wasn't there yeah I haven't been there had a concert to go to yeah thanks even though Chris is up there on the big wall with his big white

hat as the owner damn right done lebatard let's go to 80. His name is Bo. Wow. I think Billy typed an 8 instead of a B. Fine. It's a clear state. Alright. Two dollars. Stugatz. Number eight. It's Chris Corner on the line. C.C. GCC Don Lebatar show with the Stugatz.

There's two guys I took one of these from Las Vegas and then my housekeeper stole it What is one of these one of these hands? You didn't steal it I gave it to him but he has He just walked in talking about a hat from Las Vegas and then says, ah, you know, I had one of these, but then my housekeeper stole it.

Ah, he didn't steal it. All right. So, all right. So this is, this is what, uh, this is how I walk into the studio with Greg Cody, who never knows when the microphones are on around here or when they're not. I didn't hear a countdown. Uh, Greg Cody, uh, as if the clocks would help you as if we don't have enough proof of countdowns. Don't need you. Greg Cody's coming in here and he can't stop talking about Moss. Can't stop

talking about his band. Doesn't care about doing the show well anymore. Clearly. If you heard the last segment, he just left for five minutes and never came back. He was in the eating area after, after after, after, like that was hugely insulting. You kicked me out. To go to the penalty box. And come back. You know that's part of the show. The penalty box.

You created that thing. I got waylead. The paparazzi were out there. They had these flash bulbs are popping at me. I didn't know what to do. I got disoriented. You couldn't keep your laughter down. Am I wrong in saying Ron McGill was touched by that honor as a Miami honor

and you left his face. That's what's funny to me. Our betters Hall of Fame. I mean, it's probably a great hot dog. Don't get me wrong. But it's like I'm in the Costco Hall of Fame. I mean, what is this Hall of Fame? That would be also a big time, be amazing. I did it. I heard about it for six months

when the Fort Myers miracle had a Greg Godi day. Well, that was big. I mean, my name was on a Marquee, you know, it was great. Got to sing the anthem. That was a real thing. Didn't you get somebody's name wrong? I believe I did. And you didn't sing the anthem. You sang the seven bidding strap. Yeah, whatever. Okay. Very good.

They made me do a, an inning of play by play. They made you. Yeah. Let's get to some sound here. I do want to get to some sports. Rick Petino, I've really enjoyed the Rick Petino press conferences this year because he's at the bowels of hell. Like this vampire continues to resurrect his career. And now he's at a school that used to mean something used to mean something. And he's trying to bring back the glory days. And he is aggressively, he's Mike, that you're the expert here. That is aggressively dyed hair. Correct. It's the only part of me and he's, he's in a hall of fame.

It's the only part of the hair. It's the only part of the hair. Correct. It's the only part of the hair. He's in the hall of fame. It's the only part of the hair. It's the only part of his life that dies. We haven't scored for like an orange. Crazy. He's avoided the jet black and now just opted for an aging with grace orange. Okay. You say aging with grace, but this is like, this is a champion. This guy was Calipari before Calipari.

This guy was, could have been coach K. If you go through the wire taps and all the greasy underbelly of sneaker sales and that's what- Coach Calipari fashioned his whole thing after Patino, right? Patino is the original vampire mercenary used car salesman. I'll turn it into, I'll coach the Celtics. I'll coach the Knicks. I'm a God. And now he's working at the bowels of the system because this is the only job he can get I can't believe he's back in the game like I'm honestly stunned that he came and

Went like that story That story of him in the restaurant. It should stick to you Here is Rick Petino after they've lost. Now he's just blaming everybody. I don't think they move well laterally. I don't think they're going to pick it up in the next week. I think they're slow laterally. I mean, Sean Conway gives you everything he can. He's slow laterally, about five guys of slow laterally. Even the Celtics, when we lost, I've enjoyed every minute being a Boston Celtic coach. Didn't like the fact that we lost in that following year, but this has been the most unenjoyable experience I've had since I've been

coaching. Do you have any second thoughts of taking this job? No, not at all. It's not St. John's, it's my team. I think they're very respectful. They hear but they don't listen. It's taken me a month to get them to throw bounce passes. Actually two months to throw bounce passes. How else could it end for him, except with a bunch of losing where he will make sure, you know, it's not his fault.

That's how it ends for the old coach who's trying to hold on to the old times. I mean, it's kind of- I don't think this is it ending for Petino. I'm not ready to close the casket on him, but that's a really terrible look. It's an awful look. I guess he's pretty calculated. I don't think he's losing his marbles or anything like that. I think he genuinely has run out of ways to motivate these guys and he has resorted to calling them out in public. But when is that ever a good look? No? But that's not a motivation problem.

He's saying out here, like what he's saying is these people aren't good enough. These guys just did it to the Cyclones right now. Mike just did it to all the guys on the Cyclones team. Let me tell you something. It's not my first year as a Cyclone owner. I've been there since the franchise inception. I know what it takes to be a Cyclone.

And many of the players on our team also know what it takes to be a cyclone and many of the players on our team also know what it takes to be a cyclone. We've brought back our core. We are just not living up to our seniors. And yes, do we have guys that are slow laterally? Absolutely. Absolutely. That doesn't prevent my new from being one of the best back quarters in the world.

My new when you're out there, go be my new be my new. Okay. When you're out there, go be. Okay. Be Manu. Be Kata, when you're out there, go be Kata. But Tino also brought in a bunch of these guys. Like I was, I was reading an article where like they, like these players he's talking about were transfers from places that he brought in and it's like, look in the mirror here, bud. Well he can't use a vampire. That's right. That's right. That is, uh, that's exactly correct. Um, I, I'm honestly though, I am stunned that the sport has gotten dirty enough publicly that Patino is able to slither back

in through a back door, given what his scandals were. This could be just time. The, where we are on timelines because my life as a sports fan, there, it's been dominated in the collegiate ranks by guys like Sabin, Gino, uh, Rick Patino. And if you see all of them reckoning with what the NCAA is now and how the playing field to a very large degree has been leveled, you don't have full autonomy over the sport anymore where you can microwave a dynasty the way that Rick Petino is used to all of these guys, including Oriama, who's been a really bizarre quote this year. If you followed anything about

Connecticut's basketball season, Gino sounds like a totally different dude. All these guys that used to do it one way and maybe did it one way with impunity are starting to realize that the talent is being more distributed now and they are having a very difficult time with it. Patino is in that job because he's a legend. There are very few resumes like that that could even withstand that level of scandal so that he can make his way back through the bowels of what used to be a tradition-rich program back in a conference that mattered, but then the whole thing changed.

Man, when Belichick isn't working for anybody, you have a generational shift with value and young people, and it wouldn't be hard for me to explain to the audience why hungry 20 and 30-year-olds who learned a bunch of things about how to navigate the space now or 40 years old because this sport, that sport in particular is still kind of run by the old guys. That sport is still run by the guys who've always been running like the shadow labyrinth of the sneaker sales and the FBI wiretaps. It's bill self is still winning in that sport. It's the other sports that are changing. Self is still doing it.

He's probably one to keep an eye on. As someone, he's also of a certain age where he can age into the next incarnation of basketball, even though many of his contemporaries have called Kansas out for how much they cheat. Wouldn't you guys though say to me, like Mike, you're in the bowels of this system. Wouldn't you say to me that you could understand

how somebody, Petino's age, might not know how to navigate the modern day business labyrinth? Yeah. To get the best, to have a competitive advantage getting the best players. To tap into some of our previous discussion about the new generation, I really hate doing that,

but there is a different mentality now and a whole different approach. And we're seeing it across all sports. Guys like Jose Marino, even Thomas Tuchel to a degree is struggling this. Antonio Conte, there are certain approaches, Bill Belichick, Sabin, Coach Kay, who came from a military, he was a Bob Knight guy. There is a seed change when it comes to the mentality of sports. And I think it kind of underscores that this isn't something that can necessarily be taught. You either have that dog in you or you don't. And when it comes to scouting, if you want your team to reflect a certain personality trait, you kind of have to prioritize and tangibles in ways that we haven't really seen before because

generationally, players don't have that type of motivation ingrained in them. You guys understand how difficult it must be for someone like Petino to navigate the modern generational cultural shift of he's old enough to be their grandfather. It's not even their father. It's their grandfather. He might be old enough, close enough to be their great grandfather. Like how does that person never,, that's safe for Luke. Karnasekka. Who's still with us by the way, Dan. Oh, 99 years young. Is he really? Yeah. I mean, there were ways to tap it. There were ways to, I was looking. I was like, that's an upset because I know they named the quarter after everyone's

like, look, what if Rick can go in and really touch these young guys by getting a legend like Luke Karnasekka in the building. And then I realized he was 99 years old. I was like, ah, that would be hard. It's a great, great grandfather. Or you could lower yourself to just tick-tock dancing in front of your team after they win. That worked for Coach L the last two seasons. Does it not dawn on anybody though,

that it might be hard for someone like that to connect with modern generation and modern business and modern young people? There, there, books will be written on how to appeal to a younger generation because it does seem navigating that does seem to be a huge challenge for coaches. And you see a guy like Eric Spolcher, be curious to see how he ages within his sport, but they also have a very distinct scouting nature inside the front office and the head coach are tethered to the type of intangibles that they attract.
