Now's a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo.

I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the Tequila that started it all. Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo. The tequila that invented tequila.

The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBattard 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 band to nowhere, fat face and the habitual liar. This episode of the Dan LeBattard show with Stu Gowdy, the man who's been in the show to you guys? I've done it. And now here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face and the habitual liar. This episode of the Dan Lopatol Show with Stu Gotts is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Yeah. That's right. Is it possible that the University of Connecticut women's basketball team is the greatest? That program? We were talking about unbreakable records and I was thinking about Ovechkin, the goals. I've got a top five list I'm gonna get to of unbreakable records.

But then I started thinking about, and I watched the women's final, Pagebackers, what they did. Am I missing, is it the Celtics dynasty in the NBA? Is that the only other one that we could argue read our back more successful? UCLA with John Wooden, maybe. Good one.

And they won what, eight out of 10 championships? Kareem. God, that's a crazy run and Bill Walton as well. I actually think what's interesting about UConn's championship yesterday is the first one in nine years. And unless you're a big fan of the sport, you probably didn't realize their championship drought

has been that long. Like they haven't won since before Donald Trump was elected. Is that a drought? The first time. The first time, okay. Yeah, I mean after you're winning, I mean they had just come off of winning like four in a row right up until that point and then they lost one two years, three years ago and then they were finally back in it and won.

So yeah, I mean I think it's almost like, I don't want to say more impressive, but women's basketball has obviously grown a lot in the last decade. And so to win now, even though they do have like three of the number one overall recruits in the country starting on their team, it's still super impressive because it has been nine years since they won one. I mean, they went 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004 is one run, then 2009, 2010, 13, 14, 15, 16, and hadn't won since then. So this is a really long gap in the span of the time where they've been this dominant. It's almost, I mean, in that way,

it's reminiscent of the San Antonio Spurs, right? Where they could, in that run with Duncan Genobli, they would win a championship, maybe even win a couple, I think they won one back to back or two out of three, would go six or seven years and then be in the same situation again with that same core where Popovich I guess could be the parallel there, but this is a level of dominance

that far surpasses what the Spurs were able to do obviously. You guys are tough. To call that a drought, I think that people in Chicago, fans of the Cubs or Red Sox would tell you what a real drought is. No, I'm saying it's like a long drought. Like it's a record-breaking drought.

Doesn't drought mean long? No, not necessarily. Can you be a three-year drought? You can have short droughts or long droughts. For titles? I think a drought period is around, I don't know, seven or eight years, nine years. I think this qualifies.

One bad drought could put a whole farm out of business forever. True. Now, a drought when it comes to crops, I view very differently than a drought that is titles. Really? Why? They're very different droughts. One actually stops your ability to do business, maybe permanently, and one is just, hey, we made it to the finals, we didn't win.

Yeah, I think it's all relative. It's a drought relative to what UConn was doing prior to 2016, that's all I'm saying. It's like the nine year drought, I guess, this could just be the beginning of a new dynasty of sorts, right? So it seems like Gino has had a series of dynasties at UConn over the span of 30 years or whatever it is.

40 years, he started coaching there in 1985, I wanna say, like he's been there forever. I'm counting this as one dynasty. I was thinking about this also last night. This one, this was my 3 a.m. thought as I was thinking about how to put in context what UConn did. I view that if you like with the Spurs,

with the Warriors, if the Astros win again in three years, let's the Warriors if the Astros win again in three years Let's say if the Chiefs win again in two years I view it all as one but college sports is different right because nobody's the same except the coaches So that's why he should that's why it's one dynasty. I don't really understand so it's the Gino Ori Emma dynasty is really what you're saying because because theoretically each each run of players had their own mini dynasty within this long term one and that's why that's why I think the word drought is Actually makes sense because if you're taking it in this run of time where he's been the coach Nine years is a huge chunk of that, right?

That's a quarter of the time he's been a coach and that they went that long without a championship considering the amount of championships they have. I think that what Jess is saying makes sense, which is the game has evolved so much in the time since Gino's last championship was won at UConn with the group of players that he had at the time, that now you can look at this in some ways

as more impressive that he was able to now in a new age of women's college basketball lead a team to a championship with a dynamic player like Paige Becker and the rest of the dynamic players they have, that's all the recruiting thing. That being said, like, yeah, there's still, it's not like they ever stopped recruiting the best players in the country.

They just weren't able to win because there were better teams that beat them. Anytime there's an old coach, do we have to say that? That a coach who was involved back when there were typewriters and then someone who's good at a computer, do they get credit for longevity? Well, especially in college sports, I think so,

given the amount of older college coaches stepping away from the game, right? In whatever sport you choose, look across all of them, there's all these coaches, particularly we look at college football, right Look across all of them, there's all these coaches, particularly we look at college football, right, and all of these guys who were, you know, established powerhouses have stepped away now. Even down here, Jim Laranaga at UM, like,

he stepped away because the game is changing, passing you by, all of these different things to see Gino now in this stage, in this iteration of women's college basketball, having this amount of success. I mean look, the recruiting has always been there. So you could argue it was actually like not winning over the last nine years is a surprise considering how good their teams have been. But to be here now has to be impressive and especially when you look at the amount of time that's passed. I think that he's gonna love this one looking back more than the others.

I think that he's gonna say to himself that, wow, I've extended my greatness. And the way he was celebrating, did you see the dance he was doing as he was waiting at the end of the game? He did this sort of, he looked like me when I danced. I have one move like the belt move or the dice move. What's the belt move? The belt move is when you have your hands over the belt and you whip it off, but not actually.

You pretend you're taking your belt off and you do that with the belt. What? You don't see the belt move? No. And then do you lasso someone? Yes. Yeah, and then it's like, hey, come over here.

But it's fake, it's not a real belt. Wait, no one's done the belt move. No, no, no, of course, but. It's the, shh. Yeah, oh God. No one's seen it. And you're shaking your hips? What's the success rate on the belt move?

Do you guys not go to bar mitzvahs? I've been to probably about 100. And you've never seen the belt move? Of course I've seen the belt move, David, but I'm trying to keep us pro-Semite over here. How often do you do the belt move? Like once a song, multiple times a song, you have to build up to the belt move?

It's a great question and something I think about. I split the dances at bar mitzvahs or parties into sections. So anytime there's a lot of fast music at once, that's a section, then they do a slow song. That's the end of a section. And then there's another get up and go after you eat the main course. The belt move is good for once a section.

The dice move, I can do all day long. Let me see the dice move. The dice move is this. Okay, don't do that. All day long. You're popping up and down all day? Easy. Oh, I'm always, you're always moving and dancing.

I love dancing. That's a gif. That's, no, that's a great move. It's easy one to do. Sometimes if I'm feeling a little lucky and happy, I'll do the John Travolta-Uma Thurman move. It's an easy one to do. Sometimes if I'm feeling a little lucky and happy, I'll do the John Travolta, Uma Thurman move. What's that? Which dance are you doing?

Uma's or? I'm gonna do that one. Oh, you're doing Uma's? I mean, that's when I'm really feeling good at a bar mitzvah. Do you ever have like a fast portion of the music where you don't get to the belt move? Yes, because the belt move is special.

I have to be in the right frame of mind with the right people around. I have to make sure my kids are nowhere to be seen because they're embarrassed by it all. So that's very important. The belt move is the one that embarrasses them, not the dice. I threw up at my son's bar mitzvah.

Really? That's embarrassing. Why? Not ideal. I had too much to drink. It was, I was on the lawn. My son's bar mitzvah. Did people see you throwing up?

Well, since I was in charge of transportation for everybody and we had large vehicles taking people various places and the transportation couldn't move because I was unable to board said transportation, I would say yes. Was it like, haha, oh my god, he's throwing up? Or was it like, ooh, yikes, he's definitely over-surfed. Oh, I think it's, oh, there's David again.

This tracks. Well, your excuse, you're the saddest. Wait, does this happen too often? It used to, back in the day when I had kids and I had more of these parties on a weekend that I may or may not have wanted to go to, I would often do things that would go too far, too far. Too much.

In terms of alcohol consumption. So at my kids bar mitzvahs, you have to give a speech. Other kids bar mitzvahs, you can start right in at the appetizer hour. You can even pre-party, but when you're hosting, you can't drink at all until you're done with talking. So I made a commitment to my family that I would not do anything to change my mental state

until after I was done. And then you had to catch up. Then I played catch up. Very common with fathers of the bride or fathers of the bar mitzvah boy. It's the catch up that kills you, you can't do it. You just have to, you have to be at your pace. But yes, I wasn't mortified.

It was a sign of like, oh, there's David again. At least- It just means it was a good party. It was a good party. I wanna get to, I wanna get back to Yukon because I wanna make sure Gino understands the love that we're giving him here because maybe we don't do enough on women's sports.

It's unreal what he's done. Maybe I could argue the greatest coach in the history of all college sports. And you're gonna think that's recency bias and hyperbole, but I dare you, John Wooden was a good one, I dare you to come up with a college coach who has been more successful than Gina. And you're gonna have to think about it,

and maybe you'll get back to me, maybe you won in the meantime. Is there a chance that we have a stat of the day, start of the day, it is the start of the day. Stat of the day is brought to you by Evan Williams Bourbon, Game Day's number one pour. Evan Williams Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey bars down Kentucky 43 to 45% alcohol by volume, enjoy responsibly 21, and over. Paige Becker is the only college basketball player,

male or female, to beat six number one seeds in the NCAA tournament. Let me digest that. To beat six number one seeds, so you can still be a number one seed because you can do that in the final four or the final. Of her career. But are we saying there's four number one seeds

in the tournament? I mean, she's there what, four years? She's 23, like she, I think this, it's more so she's played in the NCAA tournament so many times and I guess beaten so many number One seeds over the span of her career because mind you choose a two seed right so you can add a couple more this year But how many number one seeds are there for there are four number one seat sort of cheating isn't it? You're not supposed to say the stat that Roy gave is bad. I'm not saying that's a Dan move

No, I'm just asking for clarification. Well, there's four number one seeds and sometimes those number one seeds can get upset so you know sometimes the number one seed might not make it to the final. You never know. Beating six number one seeds is insane. Is that a major number? Yeah, because that means you have to not only make it deep enough in the tournament to face these number one seeds that often, but to beat six of them, not just having gone up against sick, but to have six wins over one seeds in the tournament, considering how good you have to be to get there. I don't know. How many losses does she have? I don't know. Come on. It's not there.

It's not part of the stat of the day. At least two off the top of my head, but. Right off the top. I won South Carolina, but I'm, I know I'm forgetting some from her younger seasons. It's not part of the stat of the day. At least two off the top of my head. Oh wait, right off the top? I won South Carolina, but I know I'm forgetting some from her younger seasons. So the most one seed you can beat in a given tournament is three.

Why can't you beat four? Because you wouldn't face the other side. The two ones on the other side would face each other. So like if you're the two seed, for example, you're not a one seed. You'd beat the one seed in your bracket, and then you'd beat the one seed in the bracket that you go up against.

So like region one versus region two, and then you'd face the winner of region three versus region four. So you can beat three. You can beat three, you can't beat four because there's always the one that's gonna take out another one. So six is impressive.

That's a great stat. The most you can do is three per year. And so to do that you'd have to win it all. And if you're one seed, the most you can beat is impressive. That's a great stat. The most you can do is three per year. And so to do that, you'd have to win it all. And if you're one seed, the most you can beat is two. Cause you only in the final four in the final. Yeah. This year, Florida's a one seed. They're going for two defeats of a number one seed.

Tonight. Yeah. Nine o'clock, is it still nine o'clock? It's way too late. No, I think they moved it up to like 850 now. They're like, we'll give you 20 minutes back. Like guess what? I'm still gonna fall asleep before halftime.

I thought they were thinking of moving it to way earlier. Did I make that up? Did anyone read that? That far earlier. Someone check on that for me. I thought that they were changing the time of the final game, because it used to be after 9 p.m.

and I thought they were moving it significantly earlier. 2100 p.m. Well, you don't have to say p.m. when you say 2100. That's true, 2100 hours. It's just 2100. I found John McDonald from Arkansas won 40 national championships. He was a track and field and cross country coach.

40 national championships. He was a track and field and cross-country coach. 40 national championships. The track coaches really really started accumulating them because second place Pat Henry has 35 national championships because you can win indoor and outdoor for men and women and you can win cross-country as well. Compiler. And he coaches all of them? One coach coaches all those teams? I mean, yes, because cross country, I guess, is a little different, but indoor and outdoor track and field, there's a head coach.

It's the same team, there's just two seasons. There's outdoor season and indoor season. So it's the same athletes just competing in different seasons, but there's national champions per season. So you can really rack up the national championships that way. Anson Dorrance of North Carolina, 21 national championships, women's soccer. He just, I think he just retired this past season.

I'm a snob for various reasons, but I feel like what Gino does, if you're a basketball coach, I feel like it's more important than being a track coach. And I'm a track guy. Are you? But I ran the hurdles. No one would do it. I was a short hurdle runner in high school and I had great incentive to get over them.

And so is that wrong of me to say that winning basketball titles is more important than track and field titles? Yes. I'm sorry. It's just, am I the only one who feels that way? Because then we have to change who the goat is. Gino is not even in the conversation. How many titles does he have? 11? Yeah, I agree. He's not in the conversation. Wow. He's out of

the conversation. That's outrageous. How about Dan Gable? He won 15 national championships in wrestling at Iowa as a coach. I do think building a powerhouse is, I wonder the difficulty of building a powerhouse in a sport that's lower revenue or not quite as nationally known, right? Because theoretically, if you're dominant in that way, it might be something that becomes easier. At the same time, without the resources to recruit, maybe it's even more impressive to be able to have something that becomes easier at the same time without the resources to recruit it

Maybe it's even more impressive to be able to have something that sustains that way. I can't be the only sports snob I can't be the guy who's the best bowler in the world and I used to know his name and it's not John Turturro From the movie, but it's uh, you mean that I don't like who are who do you think you are? I am I Mean that was famous Not him, but no, I'm talking or Duke Who do you think you are, Ryan? I mean. That was famous. Not him. But no. Norm Duke?

No. I'll notify, it's one of those things you notify. But no matter how good you are at bowling, you don't get to be in the conversation with LeBron. Don Carter. Don Carter. Is that really who he'd define? Don Carter.

Yeah. He was good. Yeah, Paula Carter, good bowler too. But guess what? I don't care how good you are at bowling. Pete Weber. Pete Weber was really good also. He was good.

He was too rock and roll for bowling, if we're gonna be honest with you. Wearing the sunglasses, doing the suck it sign. Pete Weber really, that's a disgrace to the game of bowling. He's trying though. He's trying to up the ante of bowling, which I respect. Now, let's just stick to the basics. Throw the ball down the lane.

None of that's spinny crap, you know what I mean? Straight down the middle, put on your shoes, even the gloves sometimes. I feel like the glove on the wrist sometimes goes a little too far. Nuts and bolts, just go down there, throw the straight ball, knock down the 10 pins, sit down. Maybe congratulate your opponent at the end, that's all.

Ever feel like your paycheck disappeared before you even know where it went? You're not alone. Tracking your spending can be tricky, especially when little expenses sneak up on you. Late night food deliveries, impulse online shopping, sporting event tickets, and don't even get me started on organic baby wipes and diapers. That's costing me a fortune right now.

Really? I'm thinking about this. I'm trying to raise money to cure Parkinson's. My best friend has it, 123 Brett, and he never gets cured. He just gets worse every year. There is no cure. It's an absolute disaster. And all we do is raise money and it doesn't work.

But we're not gonna give up. We're gonna keep trying. I was thinking about a 24 hour bowl-a-thon. That's awesome. Bow straight for 24 hours. Can you take breaks? Well, you don't bowl every, if you have five people on a team,

you're only bowling once every five, like you've been on. But like you can't stop in between games. You're just going over and over. No, you bowl for 24 hours. Why bowling? So your potty break has to be in between. There's plenty of time. Okay, well it depends.

Sometimes people are fast bowlers. Well, but you have, but sometimes you have to wait. Like when you go get a drink at a bowling alley, sometimes your team has to wait for you. So you could stretch out your games long enough that you're only gonna play like six games over the span of 24 hours is what you're saying. No, how do you stretch out a game to four hours?

I mean it sounds like- Go with my family. You know. Dislocate a shoulder. Well I did think about if you bow for 24 hours, I'm gonna have to bow lefty for part of the time. Because I don't think my right arm will be able to actually. But just use a lighter ball.

Use like an eight pounder instead of like a 12. I think no matter what size ball you have, doing that motion over 24 hours is not tenable. Why did you settle on bowling for this? Great question, it's not settled. There's been a few things that are up in the air, like a dance-a-thon, a 24 hour dance- the air, like a dance a thon, a 24 hour dance a thon. There was a talk about doing a 24 hour we did a 48 hour running

race last year. That was good. But we're not in shape anymore. We don't want to run for 48 hours straight. So I have a fun. So we talked about one time Brett to raise money did a lobster roll aa-thon. He ate seven lobster rolls in seven hours in seven places. Raised like 50 grand too and vomited. But it was a good one. Didn't cure Parkinson's though.

Too much mayonnaise. Too much, he got. Like you at the Bar Mitzvah. He hasn't had a lobster roll since. Totally made him crazy. The thing about bowling for me and the reason why, by the way, the Domino Tournament, for those of you who had tickets,

just know it is postponed, it's not canceled. The Poppy's Domino Tournament with Ricky Williams was scheduled for April 13th. It's been postponed. Dan did a video on Twitter at Lebatard Show. If people watch that, him telling you about the postponement. Did anybody see that? Am I the only one still on X? Yes,ard Show. If people watch that, him telling you about the postpone, did anybody see that? Am I the only one still on X?

Yes, you are. I am. Well, so you didn't watch the video at all? No, we saw it. We're all on a team here. Is anyone paying attention to anything? Was it the video where he made fun of his eyebrows? Yes.

Oh, okay, I did see that one. But that's what you remember? Yes, that was my takeaway. I was like, oh, he knows that something's going on up there. The human brain is funny because what you remembered was the last second of the video only. The eyebrows was at the end. Well, I already knew the beginning part.

Yeah. But did you hear what he said about the logistics people? No. Yeah, are you the logistics person? Great question, yes. So he was saying he's gonna fire you. It certainly sounded that way to me. Ah, okay.

I wanted to come here and be with you guys and do the show today. On your last day. Listen, he's in tomorrow, I believe, not today. So I believe I'm safe for today. And the reason I wanted to get the extra plug-in for the postponement of the Domino's tournament was in an effort to maybe get back on his good side for having screwed up the logistics so badly.

And I'm a logistics guy, but he's not easy. So bowling. 24 hours, would you guys fly to New York to do it? How much would you have to get paid? Or would you donate your time? No, I would get paid. When is it? You'd have to get paid?

When is it? Thank you. I appreciate the honesty. I just wanna know your rate and then I'll decide. I'll let you know. We'll negotiate. Roy's rate is give him like a free shirt or food or something. Open bar, Roy's there. No, no, no, no.

Yeah, Roy's there. You pay for his flight, open bar, free hotel, he's there. Well, I'm not drinking currently, so no open bar. We are gonna have pop. There you go. Alright, soda. Roy's in. I don't say pop, I don't know why.

Give him some water. I say pop. You do? Yeah. Do you say bubbler? What? Bubbler? No. Water fountain. Yeah, I don't do? Yeah. Do you say bubbler? What? Bubbler?

No. Water fountain. Yeah, I don't say that. Yeah, people say bubbler. The reason why bowling is I think that we can get a lot of money and more importantly, we can get bowling shirts that are unique, your own bowling shirts.

And I was gonna get some celebrities to sign bowling shoes and auction those off as well. Personalized bowling shoes. What celebrities do you know that would actually sign these shoes? Well, I think the four of you would sign. Saquon Barkley was wondering why David was running around in that bar mitzvah with a bowling shoe.

Saquon Barkley would sign a bowling shoe. Yeah. He's very nice. When is this? What's our target date here? We're gonna do it in September. September, ooh. Yes.

Oh, is it a Saturday? It's 24 hours. We would probably do it from Friday at seven to Saturday at seven in that range. Are we talking 1900? Shabbat? No, seven. So that's an issue, but we're gonna have to.

We'll figure it out. Yeah. Football season. We could have one lane where people are manually putting the pick up. Or just dropping it into the thing that does all the work for you. Well, I'm confused.

Is this a competition or just let's see if we can do it? Are there teams going up against each other and then there's a winner at the end of this? Yes, everything's a competition. Is the donation gambling so you can put in a donation with certain odds and then you have to pay out other odds if your team loses? That could be kind of fun.

I love where your head's at, Jeremy. The donation, you have to raise a base amount for Michael J Fox we want to raise that to try to cure Parkinson's but we are gonna have it so that there will be prizes that will go to winning teams teams who raise the most money teams who bowl the best will have a prize for the big best individual game I assume somebody will break two hundo, for sure. I've only done that once. I think this is actually a really good idea.

I like 24 hour, because especially with bowling, there are so many built in breaks that I think you're in good shape here. I think this is a smart thing to do. Can I get the flight paid for? Yes. Okay, probably. Anyone who flies in who is a celebrity I think guess their travel pay anytime

You bring up 24 hour anything with this show There's immediate red flags that are gonna be raised no peppers right Cory Booker I mean it looks so easy compared to how hard it was for us, right? Yeah The record yeah, he made it look so much simpler than we did well, yeah notes he did have no much simpler than we did. Well, he had notes. He did have notes. Nothing stopped us from having notes. Why didn't we have notes? It wasn't a surprise. We did have notes, by the way. That whole fiasco was very planned out from a logistic standpoint, from a everything else standpoint. You'd be surprised to hear how

many meetings went into that. Yeah. Last time we ever had meetings. This was before I was with Metal Arc. Nothing Personal was not a part of Metal Arc at that point. And I remember watching you guys do that, thinking to myself, I was ever had meetings. I this is before I was with metal arc Nothing person was not a part of metal arc at that point and I remember watching you guys do that thinking to myself I want to do this. I want to broadcast for 24 hours. I want to do something That's why I love the 48 hour runs I love the overnight ultra's 40 hour runs after was actually why it was not Going to happen again. Mm-hmm. Well, there's obviously a lot of reasons why it may or going to happen again. Well, there's obviously a lot of reasons why it may or may not happen again.

Yes, I'm trying to not bring that up again as something that happened, but what I am trying to bring up is the whole idea of raising money through something that is hard to do, but anyone could do. Anyone can bowl for 24 hours if they choose. Anyone can be on the floor of the Senate for 25 hours. It doesn't take, yes.

Yes, any senator. Any senator, well you said anyone. Anyone can talk. Specifically say senator. There are people who twitch like for seven hours in a row, one stream playing video games. There are people, I bet you there's someone who plays, right now I bet you there's someone in the world

in the middle of a 24 hour video game bender. What was the guy who got paid to watch a show? It was a huge thing, I should have prepped this, I didn't think I'd think of it. Do you remember that he couldn't get out of his couch, he had to watch every episode of his show and he ended up getting super sick because he went crazy. He couldn't stand up. You'll think of it.

You'll get back to me. Jeremy's checking. I have no idea what you're talking about. Oh, you get like bed sores or something? You do know what I'm talking about because it was very easily said. I'm talking about someone who would watch every episode of a show straight through, not able to move. In 2021, Alexander Townley, a UK resident, gained notoriety for being paid $6,804 to watch every episode of The Simpsons and receive complimentary donuts. But there's no indication he got sick as part of the job. Of course, this is via Google AI, which is probably wrong.

30 seasons. Dude, that's crazy. Wow. I feel like the donut thing is why he got sick. I mean. Did he have to eat a donut every hour? It'd be a lot of donuts. Doing some research.

It's a lot of donuts. Have you thought about an eating challenge? We talked about that as well. No, don't some research. It's a lot of donuts. You thought about an eating challenge, we talked about that as well. No, don't do that. That's the whole, yeah. And I don't mean the pepper thing. No, don't do any of those. I had a Hostess cupcake the other day.

I hadn't had one of those since childhood. Do you ever eat food from your childhood that you have not eaten in decades and then you just do it? No, because I had to stop eating it at some point. No, but I had stopped eating Hostess cupcakes and then I saw them at the checkout, and I said, you know what, I just went to the doctor.

It's never as good as you remember, right? I saw an article in Eater about a woman who really liked smart food popcorn, and said that she felt like it hadn't been as just flavorful as her recollection of it, and she did a whole investigation, TLDR. It just doesn't taste the same as it used to. It wasn't just her imagination.

It's not the same formula or something. The Miami-Dade youth fair came back and as a child, I used to love the fried dough, the elephant ears. I had one the day before. It's great as I remember. Really? Yeah. It's probably they didn't change the ingredients.

Oh yeah, I mean- Or the oil. Fried dough. Well, they probably did change the oil. No. I don't think so. It's the same oil from like 30 years ago. Yeah, that oil you didn't change the ingredients. Oh yeah, I mean. Or the oil. Fried dough. Well, they probably did change the oil. No. I don't think so. It's the same oil from like 30 years ago. Yeah, that oil you don't change.

It's probably the same pan from 30 years ago. Yeah, it probably is. That's what you're supposed to do. I'd never have done that because I don't barbecue or cook at all, but you're supposed to keep it dirty that somehow the flavors stay in it and it helps your food. Yeah, they do that for deep dish pizza in Chicago, right?

They use the pan and they don't clean it, they don't change it out or anything. I think that's just probably cast iron pan, right? Yeah, cast iron. Keep the seasoning on it. I think it's gross. I know it's delicious. It's definitely gross, but it's delicious.

I don't think it's gross. When you think about it, it's disgusting. You're heating it at like 450 degrees. There's nothing like living on it. But under that theory, then you wouldn't have to wash anything. No. Because if you're cooking, like any pan you cook in, any pot that you cook stuff in.

Well, you clean the residue out of it, but you don't scrub it with soap and water every time you use it. The burnt cheese guy get out of there. And I always have to soak it. I always try to quickly eat when there's cheese on the plate that's been microwaved for something. I always try to quickly eat when there's cheese on the plate that's been microwaved for something.

I eat quickly or transfer plates to clean the plate immediately. Otherwise it hardens up and then you're stuck with a dish in your sink. Well you do that, you eat it too quickly though, you're gonna end up burning the roof of your mouth and that's not good. You just put your tongue on it.

Tongue on the top of the mouth, there's a little trick that you'll all have. You'll never burn your mouth or get brain freeze again. If you get brain freeze with ice cream, just stick your tongue to the roof of your mouth. Turns out this guy was hired by a website to watch every episode of The Simpsons because there had been so many coincidences

of them predicting the future that they wanted someone who could watch every single episode, take notes of every single episode and send it back to this website to see if it correlated with anything that also got predicted in the future. I believe that Simpsons have said that Trump would die on April 12th of 2025, and that was prior to him being president.

It was a Simpsons episode, and Jeremy, I may have this wrong, because this is another weird overnight brain thing, but I believe the Simpsons have done a lot of predicting of a lot of things, and they had an episode of Trump in a Casket on April 12th, not knowing, of course, that the tariffs would happen and not knowing that the market,

please everyone be calm. The markets are open. Can we get an update? I'm not even looking at my phone. I assume the markets, the futures were down. There was gonna be a 1500 point drop on the open. Did it happen? The Times of India has reported that clip is fake.

Of the Dow Jones? Of the Trump death prediction. Oh it is? Yeah, the Times of India. I thought they did a bunch of predicting. They have done a bunch of predicting, but this one I think is AI generated. Let's find out together.

It is incredibly frustrating how many times I get caught thinking that something I see is true. Deception sucks. The Dow dropped a thousand points. I want everyone to be calm. Let me give two words on the tariffs if you don't mind. There's a lot of misunderstanding out there if you'll join me.

And a lot of misunderstanding on how to deal with your 401k plan or your savings. Do not panic sell. I'm not giving you investment advice. I'm just giving you real world, long time advice from someone who's been around the block. Don't panic sell. Like don't panic, comma sell.

Selling low and buying high is how you get poor. Just keep that in mind. And this is what people do. They look at their accounts today and they say, oh my God, I've lost a couple grand. Panic, I'm putting it in my mattress. The only thing that guarantees you losing money when the market's down is you cashing out at that point.

Again, not investment advice, just smart advice. The tariff situation is an interesting one because the reason the markets are down is not because of what Trump did with tariffs. The markets are down because of Trump misleading the markets and people into what the tariffs would be. And the market does not like confusion. Trump misleading people, wow.

Doesn't like that. Markets don't like that. It can happen. It's so rare. The market prices in certain things. They price in certain things with interest rates, certain things with tariffs, and markets then are stable. Things are priced in, you read about that.

The reason why it's been such a nightmare is that what was expected with the Trump tariffs did not come to pass. He went way deeper, went way higher. And of course, all the stuff about the terrorists of penguins and all of that stuff, that's not really relevant to your 401k or relevant to the actual potential pending recession.

So I would just encourage everyone not to panic. You guys seem pretty good. Is that because you don't care? No, it's because we don't have money. Well, we don't have a 401k either. Well, but if you have any money in a bank, any savings. Well, we don't have a 401k match. I believe you do have 401k as a benefit of MediLark

because you're an employee, you can put money into a 401k. And no matter how much money you're making, you'll find this maybe hard to relate to, but don't, when I first started working, I would save a dollar a month, a dollar a month, went into savings. So I don't happen to agree with whatever you're postulating that you can't save a dollar a month.

So in the episode Boy Meets Curl in 2010, it seems as though the Simpsons predicted that in 2018 at the Winter Olympics, the American men's curling team, the first ever one, would win the gold medal. And that's what happened. Pretty impressive, huh? Also, Jeremy's not an employee.

Yeah, that's true. Gotta work on that. You know that you can still, Jeremy, little word of advice, you don't have to be an employee to Yeah, that's true. Gotta work on that. You know that you can still, Jeremy, little word of advice, you don't have to be an employee to save money. You can start an IRA as self-employment IRA. How about we just hire him? Yeah, I got it, it's fine.

In the episode Bart to the Future, they mentioned that the US president was arrested, which is believed to predict Trump's arrest in 2023, you know, the guy with the tariffs. The Day the Violence Died aired in 1996, reportedly predicted the United States Capitol attack. Midnight RX in 2005 reportedly predicted the legalization of recreational marijuana in Canada,

which was made official in October of 2018. There were several others, including Siegfried and Roy and the tiger attack. Lisa goes Gaga in 2012, which ultimately seemingly predicted the outfit for the 2017 Super Bowl halftime show for Lady Gaga. So, ton of stuff going on here with the Simpsons, David. The tiger attack thing, that seems an easy one to beat.

Yeah, yeah. If you're gonna live your life with tigers, if you're Siegfried and Roy and you're trying to domesticate wild animals, I think Ron McGill would likely agree you can't do that. In 2010, a character in Elementary School Musical predicted that Bankt Holmstrom and Ben Ferringa would win the Nobel Prize and then they both won the Nobel Prize in 2016. So I think that's an impressive one.

Predicting Nobel Prize winners is pretty cool. Six years ahead. I think that can be fixed. And we think the Simpsons fixed it. The power of the Simpsons. And our friend Hank Azaria, maybe he got absolutely involved in who's winning Nobel Peace Prizes.

So is the cupcake good? Are you gonna eat another one? Or it wasn't what you were expecting? It was plasticky. And I used to love the cream filling and the way it was and the not having taste hurts but it tasted like cardboard. Okay so that definitely impacted it. And so that impacted it and then I said to myself do I

try the Twinkie? I used to love yodels and Twinkies and ho-hos and I haven't had any of those in decades but I think I may go for... I never ate these snowflakes. I don't know if you had those decades, but I think I may go for, I never ate these snowflakes. I don't know if you had those, those may have been gone by the time you were born. Well, without taste, I mean, all you- Now it's just a waste. Basically, filled is the oil that they use

to make this stuff, so not great. The cupcakes were so good and they were cheap. Now they're not. It was like three and a half dollars for the two cupcakes. Tariffs. That is all about tariffs, or maybe it's the price of ingredients, Cheap, now they're not. It was like three and a half dollars for the two cupcakes. Terps. That is all about terps, or maybe it's the price of ingredients. Although I don't think there's any food in them.

I assume it's all chemicals. I looked at the- All the oils that went into the filling, all the oils that went into the actual pastry portion of it. Yeah, that's it. In the episode that aired in 2010, September 26, Krusty the Clown invited Homer to the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony while Marge and Lisa went to a performing arts camp

for the week. Interestingly enough, the episode featured guest appearances by Leah Michelle, Amber Riley, and Corey Monteith of Glee. So it was your favorite episode ever? Yeah, turns out it was my favorite Simpsons episode. I'm going to argue it's the most famous show ever. Glee's a more transcendent comedy than the Simpsons.

He just wanted to talk about Glee, Billy. That didn't predict anything. You just tell us about a glee episode.
