The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - The Big Suey: Campayne

Episode Date: September 17, 2024

Dianna Russini sticks around to continue discussing her household chaos, as well as the Philadelphia Eagles's coaching situation after last night's disastrous loss. Is Bill Belichick going to be lurking all season? Chris Cote's friend, Peter Burns, had a harrowing story about choking in a restaurant and Chris Cote seems really excited about SEC commissioner, Greg Sankey, being there for some reason. Mike Ryan has a similar story from a past steakhouse experience of his, Stugotz has his Top 5 Athletes That Connote Election Day--which finishes with what Dan says is the best No. 1 in show history--and Billy has a new segment that Thomas is very excited about. Plus, Pablo crushed it on Family Feud, but can he draw the states better than Stugotz?

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 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

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. Your fights must be so good. Oh, she always wins. But fights must be so good. Well, she always wins. But they must be so good.

I'm imagining your fights as being sort of cartoonishly funny. We laugh a lot in this house because if we don't, we're gonna get a divorce because there's so much pressure in here, just from, and I say in here because I'm in it right now, because it's created by me.

He is tremendous at lazy rivering my personality. He learned early, I think probably talking to my dad, like, just let it go, just don't react to her. She's gotta have meltdowns and scream and yell. But it's give and take. And I probably have to do a better job of giving, but I gotta break stories. That's the most important thing.

Is Nick Sirianni in trouble? I think Nick Sirianni is gonna be in trouble all year long. I think he kept his job because Howie Rosen believes that he is a coach that has had success and deserved a chance here to grow a little, make an adjustment, which the adjustment is, hey, I'm handing over all the play calling in the offense to Kellen Moore and I'm now going to be the CEO. He's a true head coach now, overseeing it rather than being all in it.

A game like last night where there was some questionable decision-making by him, I think the pressure is immediately turned up because we know the leash is so short because last year they had an opportunity with, look, Bill Belichick is walking around the link. Like if you're Jeffrey Lurie, you're going, just switch it, just do it now, right? Laurie, you're going, just, just switch it. Just do it now, right?

He's not doing that. He's not saying that, but. He's thinking. I just think with this coaching cycle guys, and I'm so glad I'm joining you every week because we're going to probably talk about it so much. Just with the sharks in the water right now, with the team, with these guys who are available,

who are going to be able to step right in the second it goes bad. It's definitely making a lot of head coaches uncomfortable this year. Stugats, I regret falling asleep at the two-minute mark not because I didn't get to see the result of the game but because I didn't get to hear how insane it must have made Peyton Manning and Belichick to see the end of the game managed that way. Oh yeah. Like it must have made themton Manning and Belichick to see the end of the game managed that way. Oh, yeah. Like it must have made them crazy. Yeah. I it's actually my favorite part about Peyton Manning. He's got tons of skills. Obviously, he's so talented, but I appreciate how much he

hates bad football, you know, and whenever you're talking to, we'll call him the losing coach on Sunday night or Monday as a reporter and you're kind of going through a journey with them emotionally, listening to all the gripes of the game and the plays and the decisions that they wish they could get back. The dumb football is the stuff that I think is just burns into the souls of these coaches.

And obviously players and coaches like Bill Belichick, where those small details are what changes teams. And it's why there should be so much emphasis on game management, even though it can be kind of boring to the average fan. So to hear Peyton Manning the greatest at probably it, and Bill Belichick also obviously great at game planning, to see the decisions made by Nick Sirianni last night,

just take the points, Nick. Diana, nice to see you. Go take care of your family. Take care of the important things. Get your priorities in order. Scoop City is the podcast she does with Chase Daniels. She's the senior NFL insider for the athletic. You will hear her on God Bless Football and here

throughout the season. Thank you. Nice seeing you. Always nice seeing you, Diana. Great to see you guys. Thanks so much. And thanks for the parental counsel there. I appreciate it. Keep stuff out of the microwave that's electronic. Happy birthday to Joey. Again. He has no kids and he knows that. And again, and again. Yes, we've still got sad, angry Abe Lincoln back there.

We've got powdered wig Baroque Obama. I'm not sure why we're calling him Baroque Obama. Is it because you can sing deeply in our musicals? If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it. Look how happy he is with himself, even though it doesn't make sense. It's got, like, it's not, it's Ron Burgundy of Anchorman. It doesn't fit where he put it.

No, it fit perfectly. You were questioning why we're doing it this way. Yeah, Greg's right. It's working out well, I mean. It's habits, right? Text Dan to 57568 or visit headcount.org slash Dan because we are doing a telethon, even though I don't think we call them telethons anymore, about registering to vote and checking your

registration status. We're asking you to take action now for a chance to win a sports vacation. I think that Stu Gotz has now, he keeps texting from everyone's phone because he wants to win this. I don't think because he wants to win this. I don't think one of us can win this. I don't think one of us should win this, but you can get two tickets to a game of your choice, a team of your choice, except for the playoffs,

and I think except for outside the United States. Travel and hotel, you get 500 bucks for concessions and merch, and it's not gonna cost you anything. Like it really is the easiest thing in the world to do, to text the word Dan to 57568, and tell your friends, and if you tell three friends, you'll have three more times chances to win. So can you tell me, guys, can you guys tell me

what happened with Chris Cody's friend, Peter Burns of ESPN? Holy crap, this was a crazy story. Peter Burns, he's a SEC football guy for ESPN. He filled in for you guys a few times over the years when we were there, that's how we got to know him. And he's just a cool guy. And I just, I'm scrolling through Instagram last night and I see him doing a thing and I start watching harmlessly

and he starts going into this crazy story how on Saturday night after their broadcast broadcast they were out at some barbecue joint with like big like Greg Senke was there, the SEC commissioner and they're like you know shaking hands having a nice important dinner. The dude just started choking on a piece of steak Peter Burns did and he had to have people come over multiple people tried to give him the Heimlich he started seeing blurry and started thinking about his kids and how he was gonna die until some big Iowa fan came over from another table and fractured four of his ribs

to finally get the steak out of his throat. It was just, it's one of those things, you think about it with little kids, you're like, oh, you gotta make sure you don't choke on that. I haven't thought about adults choking ever. It's just like, it's not something you really think about. I do every Sunday. But it's a crazy story of just a guy

in a group setting almost dying. Yeah, a minute and 45 seconds. Wow. That lasted. Terrifying. And him trying to, and many people tried to get the steak out, and that's how he cracked so many ribs, is like everyone took a turn essentially trying to save his life and at just as he was losing

hope and things were starting to black out on him they finally got the the steak out he was really emotional talking about it not super emotional but just grateful because yeah he's he's dying for essentially a minute and 45 seconds and he's trying to balance for essentially a minute and 45 seconds And he's trying to balance all those different things It's a wild story and he loves the SEC as much as anybody I know I can imagine that this is not the worst way to go out though if you did in front of Greg It's a pretty bad. It's pretty bad. You're more impressed by the SEC commissioner than anyone else

Random thing to be like I'm he just drive. He was like a throwaway line He's like yeah, we were at this barbecue barbecue joint Greg Sankey was there of course and it's just like have you ever been around That happening in real life. Oh, I have not but what he's saying What a presence you want to talk about aura Don libertard I had Rachel and Emma both home and I was in a fight with Rachel and I said if you roll your eyes one more time there's going to be a problem. A big problem.

And she said really? What are you going to do? Stugats. Oh god damn. I mean that's where she... I didn't have an answer. This is the Don Lebatard Show with the Stugats. Stugats has a top five list of top five athletes whose names connote election day.

Yep. Billy is ready to debut a new segment that he's saying that Thomas, who none of you know, is very excited about. Yeah. And Mike has a choking story that we didn't get to that we should have gotten to in the last segment, so we will get to all of that in a second. But first I'm telling you to simply text the word Dan, if you can hear me now, to 57568, and you will have a chance to win a sports vacation that is tickets, game of your choice,

team of your choice, travel and hotel, $500 for concessions and merch, and it's a chance to win a sports vacation. Or you can go to headcount.org slash Dan and what we're doing on National Voter Registration Day is just getting you to either register to vote or check your registration status. I wanna seize on that because covering your own

Heine voting time is a big deal. Just have peace of mind because every state is different. Some of these states are actively trying to subvert and make this process even more difficult. Sometimes people get lapsed out so why don't you just check your status, thanks to our friends over at headcount, and have the presence of mind and if you aren't what you thought you were that website will also provide steps on how to make sure you are registered to vote in what is a really important election. Roy I

continue to be totally confused by what it is that you're going for. Sorry Dan. He looks like Rick James if he were alive today. Oh. If he ain't broke. He looks like Brian May. Thank you. I feel like if anyone should know what you're going for, it should be you. Again, I just do what I'm told, Chris. I was told to come in a suit and a wig, and then that's what I did. He's got the Obama thing down,

and then you made a, you put a wig on it, and it's Baroque Obama. Play on words. Time now for Stu Gotz's top five athletes whose names connote election day. Do we have an OLI or is it just? We have several, Dan. All right.

Yep. It's a short choice. Like that one, huh? That made me smile. The first smile I've had all day. I told you not to break character. I told you to stay as angry Abraham Lincoln. I'm not in character.

I'm genuinely miserable. I hate dressing up. And the reason why I hate dressing up is because as I've aged I've gotten bigger and anytime I have to wear a costume, it's like, make sure you get a dress shirt. I'm like, I don't wanna get a dress shirt. And so they just got me a dress shirt and then it's a large.

And I haven't been a large since sophomore year of high school. So all of it is deeply uncomfortable. But I haven't had to play a character. Dan knows how I've aged and I just don't like doing this anymore, but to short choice, did bring me a glimmer of hope and happiness. Good start to the list.

Chad Pennington. Hanging Chad. Hanging Chad. Yeah. Yeah. Dion Branch. That's how I refer to most of his passes that dolphin season when he finished second in MVP voting.

Just hanging passes. Thomas Partey. I think it's Partey, but for the sake of this segment, Partey. I'm glad you mentioned that because- Thomas Partey? Yes, because some of you might have thought that Jason Kelsey last night, can you put this in picture in picture please, that he was at a party, but he was not. He was at a partey for sure. This guy enjoys his life in a way big men rarely do. He was also really good in the broadcast booth. We've thrown out theories because I don't

know if you've seen the reports, the manning cast ratings have really fallen off like badly and Maybe they just need to read new life into it The concept is what it's always been but Jason Kelsey went into what I think is a real reason as to why the manning cast Is down is because the Monday Night Football broadcast has improved so much with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman and Jason Kelsey He really shined made me want more of that three-man booth. Stump Mitchell Michael Gallup number one, Darrell Talley. Number four, Calvin Booth.

Number three, early win. I don't know how old early win is. I'm not sure about that one. What do you mean? Early vote. Winners losers. Okay. Yeah. I mean. Number two, Dick Pole. That's not how he's supposed. And number one, my list, campaign. Oh, wow. That's a good one. That's a good number

one. Great list. Campaign is excellent. That's one of the finest number ones you've had in a while. Uh Billy, are you uh displeased or were you the one who produced it and therefore your face suggested something less than pleasure at campaign? No, it was a good list. It was a good list. Dick Paul.

Thank you. I miss that. Dick Paul. Well, you'll be happy to know that this Friday, the first episode of the oral history of the Dan Levitard show is Stugatsch Drops, and you may hear a familiar voice. I thought you said earlier this week that you weren't going to tell anybody what the big surprises are and that people are going to love that.

I didn't give away that the big voice is going to be featured in it. Dick Paul. Billy, I have very much enjoyed you watching, and you've seen this, you've seen the delight on my face because you and Thomas, every once in a while, you're huddled in a way that feels like you're conspiring on creativity. No, I don't wanna do this to him,

but Thomas is a pest and he's always bugging me with these ideas and it's like, can I just eat please? And he's just always buzzing about. So it's really just him pestering me a lot of the time if I'm gonna be perfectly Frank, but I'm Billy, so. Okay, so thank you, Frank. So you're Logan Roy, stop buzzing around, you're yelling, stop on succession.

He yells, bleep off stop by your when he gets mad you know played by Brian Cox the guy from super troopers yeah no the middle linebacker from the Miami Dolphins wow yeah what is the new segment okay I'm glad you asked this Dan so I wanted to do my part I heard about this text that thought that we were gonna be doing here so you know in preparation of this we sent Thomas to the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention, and we said, you know what,

we're gonna be right down the middle. We're gonna cover both conventions, and leading up, you know, to the election time, I figured people want to hear from politicians. People wanna hear from representatives, senators, you know, and the like. And what do they wanna hear from them? They wanna hear from them who they think

are gonna win certain football games. So we came up with this idea, and it's a game called Bet the House. And then we were, hold on a second. And then here's the thing. The thing about Bet the House. We were pulled into a meeting, and we were saying you can't advise people to bet the house

because if they lose, they could lose their house so I said you know hold on wait no so the segment is called bet that house of representatives just a second and here's the thing we couldn't get a ton of members of the House of Representatives so then this one is to be called Bet the Senate of Representatives. Alright, so there are a lot of liabilities and legal issues. It's time to bet. The Senate of Representatives.

Let's bet the Senate Okay, I just want... Shh, it's time to bet the House of Representatives the Senate of Representatives Bet the Senate Senate, Senate, Senate of Representatives. Ben, Ben, the Senate of Representatives. Ben, Ben, Ben, the Senate of Representatives.

Football, Ben, the Senate of Representatives. This week's guest from the state of Vermont, United States Senator Peter Welch. We got a big one in the big house as the USC Trojans take on the Michigan Wolverines. Senator Welch, who you got? Michigan is a very important state for us. So let's go with Michigan. I want to tell you what I delighted about most seeing that all play out on television. I'm watching Jason Kelsey dance to that music while Barack Obama stares blankly ahead not knowing why he's dressed that way in a powdered

wig. I just do what they tell me, Dan. I just came in with some... You mentioned that. But in the humor of everything I'm watching, Abraham Lincoln's not even a part of the festivities. Like I'm watching and I'm laughing at the stupidity that Thomas and Billy have put together there. What do you mean?

Peter Welch thinks there's a big upset this week in the big house. Yeah. That's the whole segment. Bet the house. That's it. I bet the Senate or representatives. It's not bet the house. I was told the segment was bet the house.

And then you're telling me for legal reasons. Well, because he's a senator. Yeah, no. Don't want to lose your house. A Senate of representatives. Right. You mentioned that. Mike, your choking story, because that

had to be, for Peter Burns Burns a horrifying minute and 45 seconds, the longest of his life. Yeah, you gotta do what Danny Tanner does, chew 24 times. But this, I was actually in a room where this was happening. I was at my favorite steakhouse, I'm actually going there this weekend, Burns in Tampa. And you know how they have different dining rooms.

In my dining room, there was someone at a table that was choking really badly on a piece of steak. And he had people at his table trying to help him and they were failing. And so I'm there with a fork and a piece of steak on the fork. I just picture Mike cutting a piece of, someone should help this guy.

Yeah, well I kinda got frozen and I was just watching the spectacle and my instinct was, help, help kinda got frozen. And I was just watching the spectacle and my instinct was, help, help! We have someone choking over here. Luckily, a hero at the table next door got up, I guess he worked in medicine or something because he said something to that effect,

got up behind the guy and saved his life. And then he sat back down, he was on a date, the guy looked so badass, me by comparison, not. I was just kinda shell shocked by the entire thing, and then just kept eating my steak, but it's a weird way to have a date night with your wife, I gotta tell ya. In your defense though, I don't want somebody

doing the Heimlich on me if they've never done it before. And I guess in a setting, you're not gonna get a lot of people with experience, but there's gotta be like the right way to do it. And if someone- He's like, I'd rather die than let someone out of my life. But if your only choice is someone

who doesn't know how to do it, you'll take it. Are you choking and waving people off like, no, not you. He's like squeezing my upper abdomen. Like, it's just, I- No, no. You don't know the right place to do it. I need someone who knows, that's why you gotta yell in that spot,

is there a doctor in the house? You're choking. Not you, that's what you should have done. You should have stood up, is there a doctor in the house? He should have done something. It was crazy, cause like something was like, to that effect was screamed and there actually was.

What a hero. There always is, there always is. That Peterburn story was crazy because he was basically saying he was running back and forth between people that said they knew what they were doing. And one of them was a nurse and the nurse couldn't get it out.

And then just some random fan came up to him and dislodged it. The random fan had just been trained in doing that. I guess he was a coach and was part of the training for Little League to have someone do that and It's a it's a good time much like you're checking your status today If they have it available at your workplace take that course because you never know when you can save someone's life or just break Their ribs and fail at saving their life

But hey you gave it a shot or just continue to eat your steak Don LeBattard while there's nothing official, and conversations are still ongoing. Was that a fake Schefter? Because it was excellent. It was pretty good. Yeah. It was excellent.

I feel like there's legs. Yeah. I tried at the beginning, and then I lost confidence in it. Why? It was good. It was good. You got this. There's nothing official.

Yeah, it's so good. Conversations are still ongoing. Stugats. It is trending towards Nick Sirianni, remaining the head coach of the Eagles. This is the Don Leventhal Show with the Stugats. Diddy is in a world of trouble. There's going to be a press conference at some point in the last and the next couple

of hours, but his freedom is over for a while. No matter who his lawyers are, it would appear, but we will get more information as that story develops. I don't believe in the history of our show, there has ever been a number one in a top five list better than Cam Payne. I believe that's the best it's ever been done on athletes whose names connote election day. As part of what we're doing, National Voter

Registration Day today, and it is nonpartisan, you text Dan to the number 57568 or you go to headcount.org slash Dan and either register to vote or you check your registration status and the result is you will get a chance to win a sports vacation. You name the team, you name the game, there are some restrictions there with the playoffs and I think out of the United States but we will get you and a friend there with hotel with airfare with tickets to the game you want to see and that can be any game so there are gonna be some that are really valuable games that people are gonna have a hard time getting tickets

for and it's gonna be on us to get those tickets for you and it's five hundred dollars in concessions and merch and it's the easiest thing to do. It's just text the word Dan to 57568, tell your friends, and it'll give you multiple chances to win. And we wanted to make this a fun little competition too, because if you saw more people getting involved, you'd realize, oh, this is pretty easy. All we want is for you to check your status,

whether or not you are eligible to vote. And if you're not, go ahead and go through that process. And that's why we're doing this. So how do we further incentivize that? Why don't we get states to compete and see who's better? And our partners over at Headcount said that they could actually track how we're doing per state, which is huge,

especially with so many crucial swing states. So we even got Jeremy involved. He's got to play our Steve Kornhacki, and he's got a big old whiteboard, but there's only one thing that is missing with our whiteboard, and that is state lines. As you can see, we have a map, and we don't have any state lines.

Why don't we have state lines from Steve Kornhacki? Because I thought of a bit. And so here's what I want to do, and I've kept this bit secret. I've been so excited for this bit. I want Stu Gotts, close his computer, close his computer right now and take away his phone. I want Stu Gotts to draw in the state lines

completely from the top of his dome. Are you kidding? You think he's good at geography? I'd have trouble with that. I'm not any good at geography. I want him to, if he thinks Maine is somewhere, I want him to draw the state lines of that. We need 50 states.

Two of them are already given to you. Right. In Alaska and Hawaii. And I realized, oh, this might be really unfair to just Stu Gotts. What if we contrasted his skills with someone who's known to be smart? And Pablo Torre, if you ever spoken to him for five seconds, you know that he went to Harvard because he can't stop talking about it. So I figured this could be really good if Stu Gotts actually holds his own against someone who is known to be

super intelligent. And Pablo also had no idea we were doing this bit. And I thought it would be also pretty funny if he was bad at it, because he's an intellectual, you see? So we're gonna do that. They're both gonna draw the state lines. Wow. All right. So the states are in different places on these maps though, not to be argumentative. Okay, well, it's gonna be a flawed premise. But yes, he was Phi Beta Kappa at Harvard, and he will tell you that at any point.

I feel pretty good about my knowledge of geography. I do like Trivial Pursuit, Dan. After I go to the orange, I go to blue next, because that's geography. That's my second strongest category. All right, well, do we have an upset in order? Is Stugat gonna go out to the other room with Steve Kornhacki and see how how I don't think he's gonna get much outside of California, Texas, and Florida.

Don't give him hints. Billy's on, well by naming the states? Yeah that's enough. Billy is making faces. Drawing the lines is so hard. Like you could know where the states are but knowing exactly where the lines are is gonna be a challenge. Especially when you get up to the Northeast. But I'm also curious to find out what Pablo's reaction to all of this is because I think he may feel attacked that we're gonna try to make him the butt of the joke here. And I am trying to do that.

I want him to look stupid. I don't like this. I do not like this for the record here. People have been ruffling papers around everywhere. I did not know what was happening. And this is a total lose-lose situation for me. If I win, I beat Stu Gotts in a competition of intelligence. Great. If I lose, I am the dumbest person at MetalArk Media. That's right.

All right. How does this work? How are you going to be the game show host? Pablo, we'll talk about this later in the show. I was thrilled last night, legitimately thrilled, to watch Pablo win with epic punctuation celebrity family feud. It brought me a happiness that I cannot tell you a game show has ever brought me, but we're not gonna talk about that right now. No, we're not gonna talk about that.

What we're gonna do is- Right, but I thought we were gonna talk about that. No, we're not going to talk about that. What we're going to do is... Right, but I thought we were going to talk about that. That's why I was here, very enthusiastic. Instead, I've been pranked. Yeah, we're just going to laugh at your expense. So we're just going to get started. This is something, I don't want to do play by play of this because that's not super entertaining. This is going to be just stimuli if you're watching along on our YouTube page or any

of our other wonderful platforms such as Peacock and we're gonna have this going on as you know I'm dressed right now as Abraham Lincoln just because Dan constantly needs eye candy to get these gimmicks over and so that's what we're gonna do we're gonna check back and we're gonna progress with your status as it's going live. Alright so this is how we're going to do this because we do not want to alienate the audio audience, but we're also doing a totally live text-a-thon, tel-a-thon for the next two hours. We're just gonna be on live doing this,

and we will check in with Steve Kornhacki. Should I check in with him now, or did you just set this up in a way that makes him irrelevant? No, no, no, Steve Kornhacki, should I check in with him now or did you just set this up in a way that makes him irrelevant? No, no, no, Steve Kornhacki's gonna try to go through Sugata's state lines when it's all done. He needs a map to work with. But he needs a map.

And so Sugata's going to draw that map. We will check in with Stu and Pablo periodically, but we're gonna continue doing our show as they try not to embarrass themselves. The middle top of this map looks like we're missing Great Lakes it looks like. The maps are different. It appears that the maps are not the same. The one that Stugatz has is slightly different than the one that Pablo has.

Pablo's looks better. It does look better. But we will check in later with them and Pablo is right that this is a lose lose situation. We are off to a great start. Stugatz is Maine. Just to be clear, Stugatz and I are like sad cam girl pop up windows drawing the electoral map of the United States as you guys do a normal show.

Why are you laughing? We're not even. At Stugatz, Chris? Because he's already put Maine in the upper left hand corner of the United States? Well no, I think he did Maine in the top right, but it's just the smallest main I've ever seen. Hey, guys, he's doing all right.

And remember, he's listening along, so don't give him any hints. You're doing a great job, Sue Guads. Yes, keep it up. We will check in with them momentarily, and again, telling you to just text the word Dan to 57568, because when their maps are done, we will be showing you, thanks to the people at at headcount how we're doing in terms of getting people

to sign up to register to vote or to check their registration status I do want to go back though do you guys can you get me some clips please of Pablo Tory last night and it is spoiler alert, but it aired last night. So it's not a real spoiler alert. It already, it can't be spoiler alert on a celebrity family feud that already aired. My wife asked me when this was revealed last night, she says, well, is this a family that Pablo is a part of?

And I'm like, no. And she's like, so it's just strung together Asian people who are not related as a family and that's exactly what Pablo was on a team of Asian people who he he needed to win at the end John Legend was was on the other team of legends and what Pablo did at the end has to be the greatest feeling that someone can feel in game shows. On the last answer, getting a number that allows them to have 150 points,

because he needed to get 150 points at the end. But let's just show a couple of the clips from last night, because I felt genuine enthusiasm and excitement just being anywhere near being able to watch it. Let's see some of this. Pablo Tore, award-winning sports writer, podcaster, and ESPN host. Nice to meet you Pablo. Awkward handshake. Why not metal larkers? Like why didn't it say that you're a metal lark employee? Like why...

You think I control Steve Harvey?
