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 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 nowhere, Fat Face and the Habitual Liar. This episode of the Dan Lobatarski Show with Stugat is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Yeah. A little background vocal for you there Roy. Thank you. I like that. It gives it depth. DraftKings. You don't like the Lakers as a spicy team? It's like Cholula though. Yeah, you don't like the Lakers spicy team like Cholula though

But I Don't know Austin Reed's been playing some of the best basketball I've ever seen he's about to cash out again. He's incredible of your analogy And it is fun to see how he gets LeBron excited like I could kind of like he's like I wish you were my son There's a little bit of that kind of joy adopted son oh when I see when I see the look at LeBron's face and like the way awesome read like when he had that follow-up dunk the other night and he was like his mind was blown that joy I've never seen him have that with any teammate ever least of all Bronnie so it's like

there's a level of like man no. No, that's not true. Come on, man. That's not true. You can't actually show, like, it actually is the saddest thing in basketball that LeBron has to hide any excitement and emotion anytime Bronnie does something good. Like he has to go out of his way

to not show that he's happy about it. That's a sad thing, bro. Yeah. As a dad, man, it sucks. I don't like that. I don't like that. That would be like if my dad, every time I said something decent on the show, was like, good job, Chris, good job, man.

That's funny. Doesn't he do that already? No, kind of the opposite, actually. Right. You got it, like it's... How are you at your son's games? I am, I'm locked in, bro. I'm focused.

That doesn't tell me. What is your... I am not a cheer dad. I am a like, yo, you gotta weight on the on the balls of your feet man You say your head or you say your weight until step six to rank to crank it You got it. You got to do it at like step four Is this being communicated live or is this just internal model? This is being communicated. So you're yelling at your kid I'm not yelling at me. I'm coaching. You He can't hear you. You gotta be loud. Big distinction. Coaching and yelling.

I am coaching. I am giving him the information. How does your son like it? Oh, he's a national champ, so I don't know. I can relax. I can either be the dad of a national champ or a coach of a national champ. Whatever you want to do. I'm going to get a Lil Wayne song. My bad. It should be Leroy. I messed song? My bad, it should've been Leroy.

I messed up. Look at me, look at me Leroy. Racism, speaking of racism, Ty Jerome, I'm not with the mean on this one. That's, you're right, I gotta give you Ty Jerome. No way. He is mixed, but I'm like, his father is biracial as well, but if we're going percentages,

he probably has about 25% black. All I'm saying is. And there's not a world where 75% is less than 25%. Now their name is Jerome, so I'll give him another 10%. There is a world. So that'd be 35, 65, but still. There is a world, it's called the United States of America. Yes.

Welcome, sir. You're right. Yeah, all four of them. His father, I see. Which sounder is Dan playing for him? That's the real one. Oh, wow. Yeah, all four of them his father. I see that's where we're down playing for him That's the real. Oh wow exactly. That's the point. What do you play? When Ty Jerome comes on the show and brags Dan turns into that meme of the guy sweating and which button of breath And then he ends up going

Or please all four at the same time Back to back to back. He has to get a look at me Mike McDaniel in there. That way. That'll hit. Can you tell the Mike McDaniel? Mike McDaniel. Mike McDaniel is biracial as well.

How did you find out? I found out because he told me within the first three conversations I've ever had with him, like here's family pictures. I think he wanted to make sure there was context So what was gonna happen in our relationship over? I could say it Okay, there we go. Yeah. Yeah, does he say it? It wasn't that no Mike does not say Mike does not say It have you ever said not said it around never say it around me. Have you ever seen Michael Jackson's kids? I Know their name is blanket. Parris Jackson. Yes. I have more info for Ty Jerome if we want to make a decision one way or

another. Sure. Give it to us. So his paternal grandmother was active in the civil rights movement. Okay man. However, his favorite player in the NBA growing up was Steve Nash. in the NBA growing up with Steve Nash. What are we doing here? So, we give him plus five for his grandma being a civil rights pioneer, and you lose probably 3% for growing up and idolizing Steve Nash. That's plus two.

Steve Nash born in South Africa. So it's a plus two. So he's roughly 37% right now, but still. I need 13 more. But his paternal grandmother's husband was a civil rights photographer who covered the civil civil right another three percent okay up to 40 just three percent. That's what you guys got civil rights Grandparents that was number that I followed paternal the paternal his father played college basketball in Lafayette, Louisiana Okay, there you go. That's a pretty black place Lafayette, Louisiana ever been down there

Yes, but it's black one look man. It is hot as hell. Lafayette, Louisiana, you ever been down there? Yeah, it's black. It's black, man, look man. It is hot as hell in Lafayette, Louisiana. I had a track meet in Lafayette, Louisiana, holy crap. Whoa, Billy. We should do a top five people we didn't know had black in them. Oh, like Paris.

Had that blood in them? Like Paris Jackson. Because you know, in the racism days, and I'll say the racism days, which. Today? Have we ever ended those? But in the racism days, and I'll say the racism days, which, have we ever ended those? But in the prime racism, I'm talking like early 2000s, right? It was the one drop rule.

If you had any African American in you, it was black. They found out. Like, legally, if you have any, it's a one drop rule that if you have any black in you, you go to the colored fountain. There were people who were passing, and like the biggest fear in their lives that if you have any black in you, you go to the colored fountain. Basically. There were people who were passing, and like the biggest fear in their lives

was someone would come up like, you're black, I know your mom. And that was like a real fear, so they would have to live like these secret lives. Sing, buy you a drink again. That's soda. Let me see you do one of these dances real quick. That rhythm is a little too old for you. If we go to the one drop rule. It's open and shut case Johnson well, but

But I thought I don't think it's that easy in 2020 I have I have some I have some a question for clarification purposes. Yeah, let's say okay. Why does day? Why does snow mm-hmm you get in a horrible accident. Yeah blood transfusion got it Oh, and then it's someone else's blood they can't went into you. No that doesn't count okay? Glad we clarified though in case you know I don't Billy you do anything fun for your birthday I think was more DNA than blood but good um Today by the way driving up to Disney later I don't care.

Good luck. Okay, the question was, Billy, are you doing anything fun for your birthday? But it's not for my birthday. Like, we're not going for Mickey Mouse to sing me happy birthday. No, it's that we got like these Florida resident passes and they expire.

So I have to use it before May. So your birthday could have been June 30th. And then we wouldn't have been able to do it. You gotta get the pin though. Get it done before May. You got the passes, I'm saying if your birthday. The thing is is that it's four days. We burned two a couple weeks ago

and we have to use the other two. So we gotta do it before mid-May. And April Disney is already getting dangerous. It is hot. So we gotta get these done before it gets way too hot. I've been to Disney World once as an adult and that was in August. God bless.

Yeah, we went to go open like the NBA Cafe or whatever. We did the jump from there. And then as part of it, they were like, yo, you guys want the, and we got like the extra, super duper VIP, the one where they drive you in an SUV And you walk in through the tunnels. Yeah, go ahead hit that one. Oh hit them all give me they bring you back to the closing All of them right more about your private escort you pop out you pop out that door and you're at the head of the line Immediately like oh shit where'd this guy come from? It's so and like to see all the people like, they've been waiting for hours

and they just see me and like Rachel Nichols and Gina Paradiso and like, oh my God, it was. I hate to tell you in that instance, like is that Rachel Nichols? So, respectfully, I mean. So at one point, the group wanted to go on one ride, but I wanna go on Avatar. So me and my home girl Gina, we went to the Avatar line

and it was like a 60 minute wait, which isn't bad. By pretty standard. For Disney standards, right? But it was like 85% humidity or whatever. And so about 40 minutes in, Gina turns to me and says, this can't be, Phoenix can't be worse than this. And I said, the difference between here and Phoenix is here, yes, it is incredibly uncomfortable.

In Phoenix, if we had been outside in the heat for like 40 straight minutes, we'd be dead. That's the difference between here and Phoenix is here, yes, it is incredibly uncomfortable. In Phoenix, if we had been outside in the heat for like 40 straight minutes, we'd be dead. That's the difference. Like it may not feel as uncomfortable, but I guarantee it's way worse for your health. So it's like swamp ass or death? Pretty much. Okay, right, right.

Sometimes death's the option, right? You know what? Swampy ass sucks. When you're right, you're right, you know? They're both bad. You get like the diaper rash situation. So I got some information from Smetty. Ty Jerome's brother's name is Kobe with a K.

So that might, the reason why that's context is because that might be the reason why he rooted for Steve Nash, because he's not gonna root for Kobe. Because he hates it. Because brother. Like I'll punch my brother in the face. That's how the brother's relationships are. Also it's very important.

So you might lose 2%. It's very important. He lose 2%. Yeah. No, relationships are. Also, it's very important. So you might lose 2%. It's very important. We lose 2%. Yeah. Gains it. Gains it. Well, who? Kobe with a K?

Dude, that's, again, put some on it right there, brother. Yeah, well, tell that to Knipple, OK? Well. K2? You know? I'm glad it's not K3. There you go. Did we ever verify what his middle name was?

We didn't. It's not Kevin. We don't know, to be honest. We don't even want to Know I don't have you heard about all the brothers though. There's like five or six We went through this because Talking about how good your basketball game is Halsey also Viracial Halsey the singer. Yeah Wow one of us didn't know yeah welcome

She over here now. I'm already giving away my top five, so don't be a top five. Mike McDaniel, Ty Durant. No, no, no, no, no. Get the list together, and then we'll do pomp and circumstance. We'll do it the right way. All right. An important list, we're gonna give it the support.

Okay, I was trying to like minimize it in case, you know, say something I'm not supposed to, which happens from time to time. Delicate conversations. Yeah, I mean, and I'm glad we're having it. There you go, that's a good way to look at it But I'm gonna tell you what don't look now, but I think those Giants are gonna dress you through Sanders Oh, wait. Oh, no, it's time for a new game. I thought Mike don't look now

Mike wasn't here so we don't that doesn't happen. Oh, no You shut your eyes and your mouth. Yep.

You got to spill that coffee again, man. Knowing that, hey, whoever they got at quarterback

is going to get hurt. I'm going to come in. I'm going to throw for about 3,000 yards half the season. I'm going to throw for about 21 touchdowns. Keep this train going. Maybe about 10 picks, maybe 11. Doesn't matter. But I mean, why are you looking?

Why are you looking? How did you know I was looking? I'm the look. I'm on the lookout for lookers. Yeah. You're the look police? Yeah. Don't look now. Kyler Murray says he's intrigued by the thought of running more in 2025.

Wow. What do we think about that? I like it. I like it. I like it. There it is. Hawk made a mess and then just stopped. Well, I cleaned it up.

No, you didn't. Oh, I got one more? It's everywhere. There you go. I told you I cleaned my messes up. I like Kyler Murray running more. It's dangerous but that's what he's good at, man. He's 5'10".

But he's fast as hell. Use that to your advantage. I hate dual threat quarterbacks that try to tuck the baloney in their pocket, man. Show that baloney. And the words of Andy Milano. Don't look now. Don't look now. Alan Lazard.

You're looking. Yeah, you look. There's no way you're not looking. Who, me? Yeah. What do you mean? Okay. Don't look now.

Alan Lazard says he'll take a pay cut to stay with the Jets. Oh, wow. Guess he does want to play for the Steelers. Hawk looks like Jordy LaForest from Star Trek. Those are skippers, by the way. I do declare. I do believe. I do believe.

You can use them. How are you laughing? You don't know what we're talking about. I know exactly what we're talking about because of the steer of the mind. I know the glasses that are in that room. And Hawk holding him up. It's funny.

In theory, everyone listening to the show and not watching on YouTube, you guys play Don't Look Now literally three hours a day every single day. Exactly. That is a good look for you, Andrew. Thank you. I'm not looking, though. Don't Look Now panthers signed Collin Granger,

a center from Coastal Carolina on the basketball teams. The tight end prospect hasn't played football since eighth grade. Did you just read that? No, it's- Clearly sounded like reading. No, it was mental. I was reading it from the text that was in my mind. Yeah, you have a Braille phone. No, no, no. It's just when you read something and it sticks in your mind, I read it there.

And I say it like I read it. So what do you think? I was going to say you walk it like you're talking to. I love that for you. Anyways, what do you think about a tight end prospect who plays basketball to get brought over to football and hasn't played football since eighth grade? Jimmy Graham? Yeah, famous person. What's told me? I like it. My man from San Diego?

Yeah. Antonio Gates? Antonio Gates. Tony Gonzalez? That's like the thing, right? Julius Peppers? If you're a good tight end, you play basketball. Yeah.

Yeah, you can do it. I think- You can do it. I think Kelsey, Travis Kelsey was a, not college, but played hoops. Played a little hoops? Yeah, I mean do it. I think you can do it I think Kelsey Travis Kelsey was not not college but played who play little hoops Yeah, I mean a lot of football players play hoops, but not well I mean well guys who don't play football at all and out of just playing hoops. It is an anomaly But it's like if you are that star that's why they tried to convert Draymond at one point They put him on the spring, but it didn't go well, but I'm gonna tell you what I bet you couldn't get someone who never played basketball

and put him in our league. Definitely can't. No it's too much skill but you also couldn't grab you know someone to go golf that's never played golf it takes time every sport takes time. Not football apparently. It does he has certain skills that transfer. You get a guy who's never played the sport all of a sudden he's one of the greatest ever played. It's kind of crazy man.

Stugatz. Yours is terrible. You just gotta get a little redder little pinker right there, man Yours is not that you're biting me. What do you mean? That's not terrible come together This is the down Libertar Show with the Stugats. ["The Stugats Show Theme"] Don't look now, but Chris Cody had a celebrity sighting

that he never told us about. Oh, let's talk celebrities. At Disney, I saw a famous NBA referee. I don't want to put his business out there because you know, Steve Javi. Was it in season or no? It was a couple months ago, so yes. So this guy, a little, hey had an off day.

And it's one you see in the playoffs a lot. It's one of the big ones I say. Scott Foster. It was not Scott Foster. Bill Kennedy. Kouchi Mane. It wasn't a sister, but it was a. Tony B.

I think I saw Ryan Ruko one time at Disney. Why are we putting that up there? I did not approve of this. You took a picture? I did not post it on social, that's the old me. I used to do that. Hold on a second, they don't have your phone, so you gave that photo to them in some way.

I said it to friends. Okay. Yeah, Leviton friends. Yes, exactly. Yeah. The Leviton and Friends group chat, and that's how it ends up on the show. I did not put it in a video.

How did that picture that I took on my phone end up on television? Somebody betrayed me, that's how it happened. So we've confirmed it's Tony Brothers? I think so. That was awesome though. I was at the new ride, the... That one, yeah. You sound like a cop, man.

And I just looked down, there's nothing better than seeing someone like that, that you're just like, oh look, my wife couldn't have cared less. Don't you get more excited for people like that? Like if you see a megastar, I don't care as much as I'm like, yo, that's the girl from Instagram. Dude, that happened to me in Vegas, I went, this was years ago, this is probably closer to those,

those things with Andy Melanakis and stuff, but went to Vegas and we got escorted into a section. Hold on real quick, why does every story of Mean Tale start with him being escorted to wherever the hell he's going? He's a famous guy. Why can't you just go to wherever you're going like everyone else?

Who are these people trying to hurt you? Who are the bodyguards that you constantly walk around with that you're like, hey, I'd like to go to that seat? Yeah. Man, I live a life, man. I don't know what to tell y'all, man. Gosh, goodness gracious, Leroy. My life is the shit.

Continue. So anyway, so we go, they get us in the section. On the one side of the section over here, I think it was like Carmelo and a couple other people. And we're just like, yeah, whatever, man. Because we're both NBA people, me and my buddy, and whatever. And then the section to the left of us

was the dude who won American Idol the first year, they took the age restrictions off, he had the silver hair, Taylor Hicks is his name, Taylor something. That dude, well see, this is American Idol. 2003 too. This is early too. We're doing, this show was sponsored by 2004.

He was, and we were like, oh my goodness, it is you. Like we went crazy, everybody else was like, Carmelo Anthony, we were like oh my goodness it is you like we went Everybody else was like come on We're like no guy the one American Idol whose name we don't really know but we remember him for like that season where they Take the age restrictions off and to make it even cooler The DJ play walker-flocker and this dude knew every single word and look oh my god every word There's white everywhere. We said everyone every word, but he knew it. Hopefully the radio version. He was kinda like, oh there he is, that's the guy.

That's the guy? That's the guy. New Waka Flocka word for word? Word for word. And when it took age restriction off, I bet you were thinking that it was a young person, huh? Yeah, age restriction the other way. I've never seen this man in my life.

That's crazy Smetty! You know why? Early 2000s man, you just have to be there. You wanna know a fun fact? That guy is a year younger than Andy Maddalenakis. That's... What? Wow. I know, I can't speak.

I know. That was fun, that was fun. It's your birthday. I'm glad no one pointed it out. It's your birthday, it's okay. Hands up. But you know what's funny is that there probably was never an age restriction

that was taken off. Amin probably assumed it because his thing was that he was super old. Cause if he's 48 and he won what 10, 13 years, he's in his 30s. The age restriction for American Idol used to be, you couldn't be older than like 25. They wanted young starlets.

And then they said, this is unfair. Ageism. My bad. It's cause you questioned. I gotta question you. I'm in the seat to question you. Amin probably, which is the thing. I did.

I did Amin probably you. I hate when people do that. Amin probably thought like, oh, like the day when Charlie was like, Amin was probably in the back of the Uber mumbling to the guy. I'm like, why would I ever talk to my Uber driver? I've never done that. A lot of things were said that day, by the way,

that were just absolutely insane. Outlandish. Let's not get into it because I'm not here to defend anybody who's not here who was running that show that day. Kind of like the day when we weren't here and no one defended us? Exactly.

And I just would like us to move on as one of the people sitting here who was egging that on and obviously participating heavily in what bad things were said about the people in this room right now now and I would not like To defend that by myself Against six people he won at the old age of 29 They remove the agent

Then remove the but he had gray hair. I think at the time like one of those early gray guys Yeah, that was like one part of his appeal. Yeah, so people are like, oh wow, this 45 year old is like really talented What a hard life. It's like no no, he's 29. 29. Maybe dies his hair also. Cisco didn't have gray hair if we're gonna be honest. No. What? Or gold hair. Gold hair. Yeah. Or silver. Silver. No, it was gold hair when it was Drew Hill, then it was silver hair when it was Thong Song. Platinum. Platinum. Did I say gray? Platinum. Yeah. I'm not here thinking silver.

He was named the hottest bachelor by people for 2006. Cisco? He's got lebatard. No, this guy Taylor Hicks. Oh. not here thinking silver. He was named the hottest bachelor by people for 2006. Cisco? That Lebatard. No, the Sky Taylor Hicks. Oh, see? That guy. That was before you realized that women like older guys. I remember Thong Song came out,

I was like in sixth grade, seventh grade, it was like a dance party. Did Thong Song put thongs on the map? I had this conversation with my wife and I feel like before that song, and I was young, but I feel like it was like what? I'm gonna tell you something. People are wearing what?

They were around, but that song definitely catapulted it. I don't think he gets enough credit for what he did to his song industry. And that's a valid statement. We have an expert, someone who worked in the industry, Billy Gill. Oh. Not me.

My bad, Roy. He was pointing at you. I was pointing at Billy. He was pointing at the guy behind me. Billy, as a former industry insider of the women's undergarment industry. What? The thong song.

I worked at Victoria's Secret. Did you not know this? I did not know. Five years. I didn't know that you put the time in. Yeah. Bird rights. The, yeah.

At corporate or just like a branch? No, like I worked in a store. At first I started in the end of store at first I started in the back I was you know the one putting the sensor stock boy things and I was a stock guy and I worked my way up cashier Okay, but we're talking about a massive selling Yeah, it became it became not fun when I started it was like a little like tiny store and I was like this is fun I went in help create like a 40 million dollar. No, I applied as a joke

I didn't think that they would hire me, and then they did, and I was like, now what? So I worked there. So I stayed for half a decade. Yeah, no, I mean it was fun. Was it in Miami? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I could see where that is.

It was at Dolphin Mall. That's a boom. Victoria's Secret in Miami. My booms. And it was small at first, like $4 million a year. When I left, it was like, serious, like, you gotta send us your school schedule, and we're gonna, basically like, if I wasn't in school, I had to be at work,

and I was like, I don't know about all this. It was like a $40 million a year store. At that point, it was like number four in like the whole company in terms of sales, because like, people would come from South America, fly into Miami International Airport, get on the expressway, drive five minutes, go to the mall that was right there,

just buy a bunch of stuff, put it in a suitcase, get right back on a plane, fly back and sell it for like 10x You know what they like an out thong with there where they land and ask Can you do you have a thong to thong thong thong? Yeah, just like that. Oh wow Took me back Wow. It's like a machine right now Max and and everything lingerie way overpriced Yeah

You buy your get my wife like a $50 gift card to Victoria's Secret, she gets like half a bra. Dude, price per inch of fabric? Down payment on a bra. Lay away. Lay away. I think I'm being nice, I'm like, here's a nice $50. She's like, what is this gonna get home, girl? You give your dad a $600 briefcase, shame on you.

According to Wikipedia, the thong is believed to be one of the earliest forms of human clothing. So maybe the song put it on the map, but it's been around for 10,000s of years. This is another Vanessa Carlton, Thousand Miles thing, right? Remember, she was homeless and destitute, and then white chicks came out and boom, song went to the top, and her agent was like,

are you listening to the radio right now? Turn it on, like, oh my God, I'm saved. Have you heard the drill music version of that song yeah yeah I heard it but Roy hasn't you're right I haven't it's a she got it she got another life with that one but it is quite possibly one of the most shocking songs and music videos I've ever seen in my fairly certain they didn't put the play to clear the sample they did no they did it she cleared the sample no way cuz it got so big she cleared the sample for this song. I kid you not and it is

You got it. We got a I don't know if we can play we can definitely not play. We can't play We can't play for a number. I wouldn't I was gonna say I urge you to go watch it I don't urge you to go watch it or listen to it watching. It's not bad the song lyrics Basically, it's's like rival gangs that are making songs about each other and they're referencing the people that they killed recently. I think a lot of people in the video are in jail.

Or dead. Or dead, yeah. That is how drill music works. That is how the old drill music works. Speaking of superstar sightings, I saw Mike Tyson yesterday. Where? Here in South Florida.

I won't give the exact whereabouts because he was there watching a track meet that his son was participating in. My son was also participating in said track meet. I felt the way because. Look at me Louie. All right, can I get some clarification on why going to watch my son at a track meet

is a look at me Louie? It was the Mike Tyson part. We are talking about, how do you talk about the superstars that you see without naming the superstar, Chris? It's a lose-lose. It's a, okay. All right.

All right, so me and a bunch of other moms and dads see Mike Tyson at a track meet yesterday. And it took a little bit of my shine away, cause everyone, you know, I'm, people don't know me everywhere. You're playing that game. But some of the people are like, oh that's, he's on the LeBretard show.

You want to be the most famous guy on your flight. I don't mind, you know? So, at least for my kids, so my daughters are like lined up against the fence, looking at someone they have no idea who he, they don't know who Mike Tyson is, they have no idea why he's famous, but just the fact that everybody was talking about it,

they sat there the entire time, like one of them kids just staring at him And it was also a weird thing because they set them up to get them away from people right at a track meet Would you know what a track meet looks like their stands? There's a track typically a football field in the middle They lined up for a picture before running on the trash There's people there's like people with big sticks jumping over things. Yeah, they put four lawn chairs In the middle of the football field and that's where he said Oh, that's even worse than is that not the worst place to put someone that's trying to get away or like I should be

Sitting oh, let me ask you a question shot put your kid Do you have a sense of humor? What kind of sense of humor does he have? I think he has a sense of humor I don't know exactly what type. I think it's mine. You want him to come on me, I'm like, kid's dull, he sucks. No, no, the reason I ask is because if I was his son, I would absolutely walk up to Mike Tyson's son and say, I bet my dad could kick your dad's ass.

And they'd just say that. Is that the guy that fought Jake Paul? Speaking of thongs, by the way. I did tell my son I'll slap him. The thong thong. Remember we saw his butt. You gotta always tell your kids that you're the, you know. That you would slap Mike Tyson. Yeah, exactly. know you always tell your kids that you're the you would slap

Jake Mike Tyson yeah exactly you didn't tell your son after I told my son I'd slap him too if he doesn't get up if you don't get first place kid We're gonna beat we're better than the Tyson family. We're better than the Tyson's But my daughters were like oh Mike Tyson and like oh, what did he do? I'm like he's a boxer one time He told someone he was gonna eat his kids and then their face just dropped like was he serious I was like, yeah, no, he was he did don't look it up. But yeah, he was dead serious So I had to I had to pour a little water on that that fire that was brewing it stop it right then in there

If some eat children He said that that's a him quote Not me if something happened and you had to get in a fight with Mike Tyson at a track meet open field. Mm-hmm You're not in a boxing ring. So you're not confined to that space. Are you gonna ask me if I would do it or if I would win? How would you do it? How do you go after him?

What's the circumstance where I have to fight Mike Tyson? Let's do it there. I don't know, like a thing like that, like my dad could beat up your dad, it gets, you know. It escalates. Tell your dad to come down. It's that Ansel and Gretel situation. You're a kid and your kid's kid get into an altercation

that ends up with you guys like, no, your kid's in a wrong. No, she's right. He goes after, triesel situation your kid and your kids your kid and Tyson's kid get into an altercation that ends up with you guys Like not your kids. No, she's right. He takes he goes after tries to bite your kid. Yeah, that's well Okay, if he touches my kid, yeah, he okay. I gotta go. I'm grabbing a javelin. Uh-huh. No no no weapons Okay, stop right there Billy. Let me tell you right now Little something about Andrew Austin Wyatt Hawkins No, I just fight dirty double middle name? Double middle name. Two A's. Four of them thangs, all right?

Listen to me. If I'm fighting Mike Tyson, there's no such thing as no weapons, my friend. Really? No, no, no, no, no, no. Because it's not a fair fight. He's a weapon. You don't get to bring a gun to a knife fight.

Yeah, but he doesn't have like the lateral movement anymore. I feel like you could wear him out. He won't have any movement when this javelin goes through his top left shoulder after punching my kid in the face. He didn't punch your kid. Well that's the only reason why I would stab him. I'm going to tell you right now if Mike Tyson hit my kid. If Mike Tyson hit your kid your kid's dead.

I hate to tell you. Exactly. He murdered your child. Exactly. So why did he get to murder our children and I don't get to go grab a weapon Billy? Well if he murdered your kid fine you can grab a weapon. I'm talking about a scenario where the kid wasn't murdered yet. murder our children and I don't get to go grab a weapon, Billy? Well, if he murdered your kid, fine, you can grab a weapon. What kind of scenario is this? I'll tell you about a scenario where the kid wasn't murdered yet.

Billy, Billy, if Mike Tyson assaulted my child, I would take off my belt. Allegedly. I would take off my belt and whoop the shit out of my kid. Why'd you do that to Mike for? Why'd you anger him? Child abuse over here? Absolutely. I'd have to make it clear to Mike Tyson, hey man, I'm on your side.

That's an interesting approach. Whatever Mike could do. I think the scenario with Mike Tyson's a witch in the forest and your kids come and he's gonna turn them into cakes and pies was a better hypothetical than whatever this is. For sure, I completely agree. Okay, how about this? It went to a place I didn't wanna go to.

How about this, you're a hunter, right? And you're minding your business in the woods. And all of a sudden you hear someone calling out and screaming inside a house, and you run into the house, and it's your kid trying to deliver food to what your kid thought was a grandmother, but it's Mike Tyson dressed up as the grandmother, but also part wolf.

What would you do? Have you ever seen the Grandpa Simpson meme where he walks in and puts his hat up and then grabs his hat and walks right back out? That's what I would do. As soon as I see Mike Tyson in bed dressed like grandma but also looking like a wolf, nah man. I'm gone.

Hey kid, have fun. But you're a hunter. I'm going to hunt some else. Not that, I'm not hunting trouble. If that's the kind of dad I mean is, imagine him as a buddy. Imagine you're at a bar. Oh my God, we gotta do a fight

and Mike Tyson's part of the other crew? Have you ever been in a bar fight? Absolutely. Like, that you participated in? Absolutely. That you didn't run from? Absolutely. Beyond just making commentary like, yo.

Like, yo, bro, I think he just swung on us. Been in the middle of it. I think I knocked it out. Someone should stop that. Have you ever started a bar fight? Started one? No, I don't start fights. Have you ever got a beer bottle, cracked it on the bar, and gone and stabbed someone

in the neck? Billy! That's what I'm talking about. That's what we used to do. I've never done that. That's what a real 2006er would do. Kind of. 2006er?

Since it was the class of 2006? No, I've been in bar fights, man. Yeah? Yeah. Look, I... You just said that somebody would be assaulting your son and you would spank them Not somebody not somebody I Look, I got it to or I didn't get it to a fight

Thank God, but I was face to face in a bar with a very angry Mike Tyson before like that happened and guess what I did I might break your son might be exactly I went home. I went home and what my son's ass Yourself around son. Why was I in a bar with Mike Tyson? I went home and whooped my son's ass. You beat yourself. Son, why was I in a bar with Mike Tyson? I was like, daddy, I wasn't even there. I should have been home with you. Why didn't you convince me? I pulled the greatest last second save my life statement I could have posited.

Because I spilled my drink on him. And he turns around. Because it was a crowded bar and I'm walking out and someone bumps into me until my drink spills and went all over Mike Tyson. And he turns around, because it was a crowded bar and I'm walking out and someone like bumps into me until my drink spills and it went all over Mike Tyson. And he turns around. And this is when he first got the tattoo and it's glowing in the dark of the black lights. That's prime like.

Oh my god. That's prime don't spill the drink on Mike Tyson. That's no F Givens Mike. And this crowded bar that was like really congested a second ago, it was all open and it was just me and Mike Tyson and everyone was like 100 yards back. Exactly, right? And his eyes, his beady little eyes were like glowing too

and they were angry and I was like, oh shit. And I, like I- What did he say? He didn't say shit, he just stared at me. What did you say? So I said, the only thing that came to mind, ah, salaam alaikum brother. And he dpped me up

and he pulled me close, like sharply like that. I'll kill you. And in my ear he said, alaikum salam, but he said it so close to my ear, I thought he was gonna bite my ear. So, ah! I jumped back and then he released and then I just, I ran away.

I didn't even go get another drink. I said I don't wanna drink anymore. Last time I had a drink. That's what it takes. That's didn't even go get another drink. I said I want to drink anymore That's what it takes. That's a lot If I'm in that situation You know what I'm I do I do like the thing like the video where you see people in like Target or whatever where they like put like a shot like a you know a hamper on top of someone and then they turn around And they put a hamper on top of them if I spill my drink on Mike Tyson I'm grabbing every drink on the bar throwing it on my stomach. Man,

someone's spilling drinks around here. Who's doing this? That's quick thinking. I wish I thought of that. Who's spilling drinks around here, Mike? Let's get them. I love those videos on the internet. Who's ass we got to kick in here, Mike, for this? Look at us. We're drenched. Man, we were the only two black people in that bar too. They would have definitely snitched. It was him, Mike. Then he splashed himself. Then he said, talk about his kid whooping his kid's ass for some reason.

It was weird. Started threatening, he caught his kid on spot, started threatening his son. I mean, before we leave for the day, I wanted to get your take on this video that I saw last night. I think Chris sent this to us. It was about Denver Nuggets turmoil, I guess.

And so Michael Porter Jr. is being asked about a team dinner. So we're gonna play the video and I want your reaction. Yeah, I was talking about how Christian kind of got the guys together for a dinner last night. What was that like? Christian? Got the guys together for a dinner? Or you at least paid for all of the dinners.

I would have loved to have been there. Hey Christian, y'all went to dinner last night? Yeah, I paid really well. I didn't know anything about that. Damn. That always stinks. When you show up to work and you hear a group talk and you're like, oh that was fun last night.

What was fun? Chris, this happened to me last week. When says to me Jesse who does our makeup was like oh, so you guys went to such-and-such restaurant I'm like what yeah, I'm like I'm gonna risk, and then I put two and two together The whole mental it was Judas it was Dominic talking shit about Charlie and and Jason golf they went to Dinden tell Wait, were you there at that dinner? That would be fifth. No way.

Incriminating. I don't know, I don't want to lie on record and I don't want to tell the truth on record, so I plead the fifth, which is what that means. I plead the fifth. One, two, three, four, five, six. But that's like, that reporter is asking a question to kind of like, that reporter's trying to be nice there.

Yeah. Oh, you guys are coming back together as a team. And it was the exact opposite. So was Jesse, Jesse was trying to be nice. That reporter's probably like, ooh, I was writing a different story. Now I have to write the story I wanted to write. The chemistry is building with the Denver Nuggets. Jesse's like, I know things are weird, but Dan's out of town,

so you guys are all bonding, right? It's like the scene from Where the Millers. Like, you got paid $150,000. $150,000? I got paid what? And then the kid is like, you guys are getting paid? That's how I felt. Hawk, when you guys... In the NFL, you guys have team dinners

that are catered by the team, right? When you're on the road? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's not like... It's not like a... a couple of guys saying, hey, let's go get dinner over here. No, they do that. So because our team dinners aren't quote unquote,

like, it's not like, oh, let me cater you some nice. It's literally so they have tabs on you as long as they can. You have to show up at this dinner. You have to check in. Even if you don't eat, you need to come say, hey, hawk here. And then you have a curfew. So they keep heavy tags on us. But in that moment between curfew,

which is around I think 11, and when dinner starts at nine, nine thirty, guys will leave and then go to their own dinner. Dinner starts at nine thirty? Yeah, cause we have meetings all day. At night? We have meetings when we land on a Saturday. You have more meetings after you.

Alright, so let me walk you through quickly the NFL schedule on a travel for the weekend, which is why you never really hear as many like party stories from NFL players. Right. Like if you're really old and they're like whatever, but even that is still tough. So you fly Monday morning, you're up, you're in the facility or Saturday morning you're in the facility by like 7 a.m. Right. Meetings till about 11. Okay. About 10. Walk through till about 11. Sure. You got to be at the plane at noon so between 11 and 12 Leave from the facility straight to the plane some people do some people go home really quick and then Get in the airport by like 12 private airport right so we're there we then fly we land

Depending on where that's at let's say between 2 and 4 Meeting start more meetings at yeah, so you get like an hour or two and then meetings start at like five. So now meetings go from, now probably meal is at five, meetings are at six. What are y'all meetings about? Are y'all under, like, is, are you unfamiliar who you're playing against? When we're specialized, like we don't just go out there and do stuff like NBA players.

No, exactly. We have like strategy and we're very tactical and you know, meticulous about the very specific things that each person's job is as opposed to like hey We'll just go out there and vibe my boy. Yeah, I'm still drunk from last night But hey, you know I'm saying they better not put so-and-so on me because I'm gonna go for 40 That's not that kind of thing in football. Okay, so meeting started six We have special team meetings where we talk about make sure everyone is this make sure you're key in the are for if he if he inside releases here you got to know

to release him and let the guy all those things all the way until 8 o'clock 8 15 and then you go up you come back for dinner get your meal and go it's crazy because in the NBA the way the road trip works is yes show up at the facility yes we do all our work and stuff we we practice, we get on a plane, that plane lands and sometimes the guys don't even see their rooms. Like, the bus gets to the hotel and then there's just cars waiting

and it's just like, alright guys, I'll see y'all later. And then until tomorrow where we have either walk through or a straight up shoot around, that's what we're gonna do. And you gotta stay in the hotel too. Yeah, we don't have that. You gotta stay at the hotel at home,

you know that, right? Yeah. Like home games, you stay in the hotel. I see Porter being offended by not being included But what is like every time I go to a dinner now? I got a text every single member of the team So it's like I see both sides to this Chris. They had a huge life-changing event like team dinner Yeah, and also like just been five guys Michael Porter jr. Is a player I mean correct me if I'm wrong some people kind of roll their eyes at him, they're like, ugh, Michael Porter Jr., right? Like. A little bit of a goofy, yeah.

Yeah, so there was a lot of speculation after this video of like, what's going on here? And then, Katie Winge, a Nuggets report, Winge, thank you, a Nuggets reporter tweeted that apparently this was all a big joke and there wasn't a team dinner and they were just messing with him the whole time. So maybe the team is actually together playing pranks.

Maybe things are looser than we thought. Or there was a panic group text, we gotta cover this up. Or it's still alive! Oh my God, my mind is blown. And this is who you think is spicy in my decision. Also, what if he had invited Porter Jr. a couple times and he got a no?

I'm not gonna keep inviting you. If I get like two nos to a dinner. This is why no one invites me to the group bar that everyone goes to. But also, what if Michael Porter has things going on? Like, you just never know. I'm like, I'm not driving there, I'm not parking, I'm not paying for parking, I'm sorry.

Like, I've stopped inviting them to Highlight because they don't come. It kinda didn't seem like he had something going on. The way he reacted to that question, it looked like he was like, oh. He seemed hurt. It might have been the one night where he was free. The way he reacted to that question, it looked like he was like, oh. He seemed hurt. It might have been the one night where he was free. After all the times you invited him, Chris,

the one night I could have made it, really quickly. Didn't get the text. Really quickly, because you mentioned like, guys just showing up and do whatever in the NBA, and not being meticulously prepared. I wanted to fight and argue with you, but then I remembered this video of Steve Kerr

from a couple of nights ago. He's talking to Buddy Heald and This is the video go ahead and roll it, please He came open late that's great foisting by Buddy Hill but For years we've done this thing where we're watching like Warriors games and Steph Curry's wide open. And we're like, yo, do you guys not watch the league pass? How do you lose track of this guy of all guys on the floor?

I've never said that about a guy that played with him on the same team. He had to introduce him. He had to introduce him. During the game. I'd like you to meet Steph Curry, the greatest shooter who's ever lived. Which that's happened multiple times

when I played for the Browns, where Joe Thomas introduced himself to actually Josh Johnson is the story. Josh Johnson had just gotten there that Saturday, we needed a quarterback. He ended up coming in the game in the second quarter and he comes in and he's like, all right, here's what we got.

And Joe's like, who are you? Oh, my bad, I'm Josh Johnson. He's like, oh, Joe Thomas, nice to meet you. all right, here's what we got. Joe's like, let's, who are you? He goes, oh, my bad, I'm Josh Johnson. He's like, oh, Joe Thomas, nice to meet you. All right, go ahead with the play. And that's how they met, in the middle of the game.
