You're listening to DraftKings Network. Welcome to the big sui, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBatard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not gonna apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants

just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, that face and the habitual liar. Billy, I am not kidding you. We were just talking about young coach

and a young coach's look. I did not recognize Don Mattingly when I saw a photo of him this weekend. I legitimately, when people were posting the photo, it's in a Blue Jays cap, what the Marlins have done to age him He was there last year blue jays did that to him blue jays have been a huge bus by the way We don't need to get into that today, but cool

All those young stars don't do shit He looks like a slimmed down Santa like if Santa was like Joe Thomas where he went from being an offensive lineman to them being like a Podcaster that's what he looks like daddy Christmas I look at him and because he was one of my favorite players growing up like him and Dave Winfield were some of my favorite athletes growing up. Dottie baseball.

The Winnie. The way that he the way that I thought he was Joe Madden. Did you really? Yeah. When I saw Joe Madden's with the Blue Jays now. He looks like like it does he not look like him yeah I don't think they look alike though they just both have white facial

hair I thought it is for you it's all it takes I just looked real quick I like Joe Madden's a blue job like Don Mattingly I think that I saw the other day Joe Madden doing a broadcast somewhere and I think he shaved the beard I did not see the the white beard and he looked he looked different There is something else those two gods that I wanted to show you he's broadcasting now I saw right out of teams to rip off. I mean I Was surprised that his beard was so white because his hair was still black when he was coaching the Marlins just a year and a half ago Joe Madden won a championship, Mr. Goddard.

He did? Yeah. Well, the Cubs won a championship in spite of Joe Madden. Fix was in. The Cubs won. Eventually someone was going to win it, Tim. I mean, it's... He triggered with the rotation a little much in that game.

Okay, okay. And Grandpa Rossi, I mean, come on, you're a bench player. A lot of guys have won a championship. Pretty sure the broadcast grandpa Rossi. I mean come on your bench player a lot of guys What a champion pretty sure the broadcast every none for the cops every year someone Actually, I don't know why I'm taking Steve. I don't know why any of you are doing this It's hard to win a championship for the cops like you can go ahead and say that they wanted in spite of him all the other Managers they had they didn't win it either for them or in spite of them That's only if you believe in curses each year is his own separate no it's only if I

believe in winning the last game it's not the curses they never wanted to matter and win the last game I mean yeah I mean technically he did but like you know the moves he made were questionable questionable yeah lucky about that right they wanted to spite him you know he did win the seat. They dressed up in cute little outfits a lot of times on the road trips. Jason Hayward really won the game, though. Sorry to get bogged down on those. Gave the speed.

Well, but you're the king of all you have to do is win a championship and be golden. Hell, Jay Williams is out here saying Caitlin Clark and he's doubling down on it. She's not great because she hasn't won a championship. And get your own takes, Jay. That's Stugatz's. But what are you doing right now? Like, what are you doing right now?

Just taking out Joe Madden. I thought you win a championship. And that's that's that's. I like accuracy, Dan. You know, I'm all about that. The most complicated math that Stugatz does is you win a championship. I say you're the best.

Like that's the way that one works. That's a much in baseball. Or when it regards Kevin Durant, there's certain people that doesn't, yeah, exactly. You'll read about it in the book when it comes out. Yeah. That's right, StuGatzbook.com. Check it out, thank you people.

The slated publish date on that? Sometime in November, I think the 26th. Got some time here. StuGatzbook.comcom number one, Amazon. Appreciate it. So yesterday, Stugatz, I went to the food and wine festival with what? I'm so jealous. Why did you see Guy Fieri? You could have gone.

I forgot it was this weekend. The food and wine festival is also what I refer to as my weekdays. Just every one of them. But what I have seen and I want to be a little bit careful here, Stugats, because I don't want to say that Miami has been ruined. But I have realized recently that I lived without realizing it during what the golden age of Miami was when it wasn't this kind of crowded because our traffic problems are really severe and it is now taking an extra hour to get everywhere because all of New York is moved down here, all of San Francisco has moved down here and anytime we do one of these

giant things, it becomes a festival of we simply don't have any of the planning and strategic building of things that can handle this kind of overload and then the next thing you know you're getting all of these alerts that say hey don't go in the water, there's all sorts of human feces in the water. that was happening before everybody moved down though to be on I agree, but it's happening more Because all the sudden there was shit everywhere Yes, I know but it's not New York shit. That's just been there. Yeah, but the dance point more people more feces. That's correct Yes, that is that is what's happening. I don't know. But what do you mean?

I don't know. I don't know. What do you mean? He's not sure. What do you mean you don't know if that's true? If we want to do like an equation about shit and more people coming in, I think the septic tank or whatever is spewing out there only holds a certain amount so I think the same people are there, please just keep this game probably, so it's like rich shit, so it's moving out the other way. That's true. There's a lot of stuff. We all know rich shit moves differently. Yeah, like in Australia.

More people means more shit. Put it on the poll, Juju, at LeBatar's show, does more people mean mathematically, empirically, more human shit? Well, what if more people are eating the same amount of food because every person is eating less? I'm just gonna put it the way I'm putting it. I don't want qualifiers, asterisks, or nuance.

I'm simply saying if there are more people, you're gonna get more human shit. But, Stu Gatz, when I am at the Food and Wine Festival and it's fun and it's a great event every year, it really is. DJ Khaled, their big finish at the end of this was DJ Khaled and Rick Ross and DJ Khaled came out and was simply terrible. Like just really... What are you doing there I mean it was just bad it he played a couple being honest played a DMX song he played none of his own music he ran around saying on and another one and then just shouting David Grutman's name

again and again and again making it obvious who was paying him for the vintage performance from DJ Calli what are you complaining about that's what he does we the best but here's here is the vintage performance from DJ Khaled. What are you complaining about? That's what he does. We're the best. But here is the vintage performance of him getting out behind the stage in his car, Stugatz. And this is a heavy lift for his security people. He doesn't want to get sand on his shoes. So here is DJ Khaled arriving at the facility.

And I guess his security just knows what to do in this spot. So you just come right over here and they just pick him up and they take him all the way to the stage and Tony, I'm obviously not a sneakerhead. I don't know the sneakers that he's wearing there. I mean, that seems unnecessary. It seems like that's not what part of security's job should be in that situation.

And Tony, you're the sneaker guy. Come on, sand that bad for those sneakers. So here's the thing, Dan. DJ Khaled has a collaboration with Jordan where he'll get, we the best branded Jordan stuff, right? So he's kind of got like a Jordan deal. So they'll send him a ton of merch, a ton of shoes. He gets stuff that nobody can get.

So those look to me like special threes, Jordan threes, that are DJ Khaled versions. The thing is, he's probably got like 10 of those at the house, they mail him a ton of stuff. He'll open boxes where behind him he's got 65 pairs of shoes just from that one drop that month. So like when you're a Jordan Bryan athlete or somebody that's an influencer with the Jordan brand,

every month you get a massive box of all of the releases of the month, all the stuff for your sport specific stuff. So DJ Khaled has that. Didn't Paul Pierce get carried away like this too? What was a wheelchair? He pooped himself. It was when he pooped himself.

Yeah. He was carried to a wheelchair that way and out of the wheelchair that way. That's what it reminded me of. If he didn't do this though, we wouldn't be talking about what DJ Khaled did yesterday. So it worked out. Did he also do this at a heat game

where he had a pillow underneath his feet so that his shoes wouldn't touch the court? Stu gots about 100% do this though if he could. Easier lift. Of course, yes. But if you're part of a security team, you have to carry the guy in, right? That's part of the deal.

If he says carry me in, you carry me in. We should have carried Dan into Vegas. That would have been fun. Exactly that way. That would have been fun because like the mic wasn't working super well when we did Dan's entrance. It would have been funny if we carried him out and whatever we were carrying him on also broke. That's not funny. That's not something that hurts the confidence at all. The microphone not working with your first words. It would have been worse if you fell off of some sort of throne though, that we were carrying you in on, right?

I started sweating, yes, 30 degrees out. Chris took a victory lap, oh, I shouldn't have said that. Chris took a victory lap when the microphone didn't work. Cause the day before in rehearsals, he's like, is the microphone gonna work in this tunnel? And then he was quickly like, shut up idiot. And then he was like, oh, okay, I won't say anything. And then it didn't work. And he just gave me a little looksy across the stage. He was, hmm, shut up idiot. And then he was like, oh, okay, I won't say anything. And then it didn't work.

And he just gave me a little looksy across the stage. He was, hmm, who asked about the mic yesterday? I was like, not now Chris. It's not the time. Read the room. In mentioning that Miami's overcrowded, Billy, how are you feeling about Bad Boys 4 making a return to filming in Miami and stomping all of our,

like they film wherever they want to. I can't believe the clout that Bad Boys has in our city. They are able to get licenses for things that no one's able to get licenses for that just stop all of our traffic. They're doing donuts and street racing and everything like all over the place. Why are they doing that?

Well, who's asking for a Bad Boys 4? I'm sorry. They're literally filming in the heart of Brickle on H3. So my wife works at a hotel there and she actually saw Will Smith in one of the elevators cause they're works at a hotel there and she actually saw Will Smith one of the elevators They're staying at her hotel and she's like they shut down the entire street. They're doing donuts They're filming stuff and it's like that street is one of the most busy streets in Miami 8th Street and what is it? Brickle ever whatever it's incredible

My art makeup artist posted a video of the one of the cars doing donuts on East Street And I was like oh my god like the drivers down here are out of control. And two days later, I saw it on Only in Date and I was like, oh, that was for a stunt for the movie. I thought that was an actual Miami driver. That does happen though. They do just like, have you seen this, Dan, like on Fridays and Saturday nights,

they'll just close expressways and have their own, yeah. They'll do this intersection in downtown. Well, they're funsies. But this has been something that has now been, they're cracking down on the criminality of this. Yeah, they're funsies. No, but this has been something that has now been, they're cracking down on the criminality of this. It's not, they're doing it on highways. They're doing it on highways. That's why my grandma told me nothing good happens

after midnight, and she was right. She's right about that. Billy, you ask who wants a bad boys four. Bad boys three did $425 million internationally. I saw that. Grandma's not right about that. There are plenty of grandparents having sex after midnight. What? $425 million internationally. I saw that. Yeah, I mean. Grandma's not right about that. There are plenty of grandparents having sex after midnight.

What? Whoa! Whoa! What? Whoa. On the street? They're staying up until midnight? The villages.

Bad Boys is a wildly successful franchise and people love remakes. I saw that, is it Ridley Scott now? He's $150 million over budget on Gladiator 2. It was supposed to open at $165 million. But Gladiator 2? First one was like 50 years ago. Who wants this? What do you mean? I think it's proven again and again that people love the nostalgia stuff. Ridley Scott is 86 years old. They love the nostalgia stuff. They love the- God is 86 years old. They love the giant franchise.

Executives love nostalgia, Dan. They just love- Shut up, you said five minutes ago you were excited for the re-release of Shrek 2. I am excited for the re-release of Shrek 2. I said you could watch it at your house any day. It's gonna be amazing. The 20th anniversary I saw it for my ninth birthday.

Can't wait. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Hey folks, it's Mike Ryan. Now you've had the distinct privilege of knowing me for close to 18 years and you know that I've changed. A lot of my personal life has changed. I've changed as a professional. I am a parent now.

My level of involvement in my favorite college football program has also changed. But one thing that hasn't changed for me is my favorite beer. You know when it's real with me. I think you do anyways. And you know how much's real with me. I think you do anyways. And you know how much I love Miller Lite. I've loved it forever. Really. It's my favorite beer of all time.

And it made all the great moments in my life all that much better. And when Miller Lite came aboard on our show, I was super stoked about it because I believed in the product. Because every time I take a sip of Miller Lite, I look around and I think, yeah, this was the right call. Times change. People like me can change, but you can always enjoy the great taste of Miller Lite. Tastes like Miller Time. To get Miller Lite delivered right to your door, visit MillerLite.com slash Dan.

This is largely performative, but we need to establish a reasonable amount. Yes. Everybody wants to join us. I'm so done. Please don't take the top everyone with a story where he pleads more than you do. Stugats. I always like leaving a hand on high. Because he's so vulnerable, I just unfairly fade down the chicken.

He just leaves him by himself. This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats. The landscape in sports journalism Stugats has changed plenty in our lifetime. There are some places that I don't even recognize where it is that I began doing this but I will say I should stop for a moment here to celebrate the career of Peter King who has announced his retirement, I don't know if we're gonna even make anyone like that anymore. The lifetime print like that anymore. The lifetime print journalist in football who has so many relationships, so much credibility inherited the mantle from Paul Zimmerman.

Dr. Z? Dr. Z was Paul. His first, I only know him as Dr. Z. I'm not even certain he's a doctor. I put no, I put a question mark at the end of Zimmerman because I wasn't sure his first name is Paul because I call him Dr. Zimmerman. But Peter King took what Zimmerman was doing and perfected it and leaves a legacy of print journalism being respected by people in football

because he did his job well, he did his job fair, he cultivated relationships, and he did it for 30 or 40 years. I'll carry the torch, Dan. I think it ended for Peter King when he was evaluating Billy doing dishes on God bless football. I think that was the end for him. False, that was a high. Well, I do have top five Kings of all time.

If you're interested in honor of the great Peter King. No, the highest honor. You've got a top five there. It is one of the last things Peter King did with his career. It may be why he retired once he looked up and saw he was doing dishes with the Duke. And he saw the, well, the future of this business is the Duke internationally acclaimed. I can't keep up with him,

he's too good at all things including washing dishes, maybe I need to get out of the business now. I actually read his retirement article very early this morning and it seems like he decided after last season this was gonna be it, right? But he also kinda says like I'm retired, but I'm also kinda looking for something else to do just now what I'm doing right now,

so I thought, you know what? I mean, it sounds like you're gonna be coming on the show watching dishes with me a lot more often. Nothing but time on your hands now, you know what I'm saying? Well, Peter and Billy podcast, maybe? He's going to miss the things that he's been doing for 40 years. He's gonna start doing, like, bachelor recaps and...

Oh, that would be awesome! He's gonna do a Vanderpump podcast with you, Billy. God bless. Bravo? Hmm. Oh! I'm in. Bleep that out. No one take that.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Stugott says I'm in. Couldn't name a show on Bravo, I guess. No, I said my man. That's what I said at Define. Doesn't, Captain Lee. Stugott's uh- Lehman.

Knows Captain Lee as Bravo Captain, former Bravo Captain because he's been a guest on Supodity twice And I know he told you this but I sent an email to Jimmy Johnson You know not that not that it wasn't it wasn't that I don't know if he told you this when we were in Las Vegas And I promise fans will not talk about Las Vegas anymore when we were in Las Vegas He saw Johnny Damon downstairs at the hotel and just screamed Captain Lee at him because Johnny Damon once was on below deck and I don't think Captain Lee was even the captain.

But he just screamed Captain Lee at Johnny Damon as he was getting in a car. Still ahead, yeah. You're hilarious. You could just leave Johnny Damon alone. That is an option. It's not an option for me. No, Stugatz has celebrity Tourette.

Yeah, it's just, it's just a, I see someone first thought, let me shout that I know that person, it's just a... I see someone first thought. Let me shout that I know that person. It's like a word association game that he plays. But from the story, he told me it worked. Johnny Damon got out of the car he was getting into to go talk to him. He did. Stugots, if he sees someone famous...

Oh my God. I've been embarrassed by him a number of different times. The way that he behaves around celebrities. It's like children behave around the animated characters at Disney. And he will just shout the first thing that comes to mind and try to have that. Like it's trying to find any connection point and there's no thought involved to anything consequences or anything. Just let me have a human connection with this person to try and convince him I'm

human when I'm not. I've just got a Tourette's that shouts the first thing in my mind that I associate with that person. You should have heard when I yelled at Urban Meyer sitting at the bar at the Circa. Oh, didn't get my guy though. What can you tell me about your top five list in honor of Peter King, the legendary football sports writer? The list is so deep Dan. There are so many great kings that for the first time ever, I have an O-O-O-L-I. How about that?

Wow! It's big, Dan. Carol King's got to be on this list. Oh, wait a second. Instead of outside looking in, you've got outside, outside, outside looking in, is what you're saying? O-O-O-L-I. Okay, so that's an extra O.

So it's- Well, Carol King. Four O's now. So what does that mean? We have 16, we have 20, what does this mean? We have 16 right now. For your top five. Yes.

No, technically there's only five in the top five. Well, there's five in the top five, but there's an O-O-O-L-I. Yeah. But there's an O-O-O-L-I. Yeah. That's one. Then an O-O-L-I. That's five.

Then an O-O-L-I. That's another five. Then the top five. You get it. I'm looking up this Dr. Z. I don't know if Dr. Z was actually a doctor but was married to a doctor. He was not a doctor. Well that has to cause, you know, marital strife.

You would think, right? If you're married to a doctor and you're running around parading yourself as a doctor and you're not but your spouse is a doctor you'd be like, ah, no you're not a doctor I'm a doctor now you're gonna tell me dr. Jack wasn't a doctor or dr. Seuss. It was a doctor, right? Billy Jean King's got to be a top five. Wow. Hold on Oh Oh Oh Eli Billy Jean King

How many O's are there we're up to 17 They're not 17 O's there 17 Kings how many O's are there that was five and then a carol King is four And then we get to a O O O L I You corrected me when I said O O O L I and you said you had an O O O OLI and you made it up. There were not. I left out Joe Exotic the Tiger King O O O O O O O O OLI. How about him and Machine Gun Kelly huh? That was a bit of an upset. What happened?

Was it? Yeah I mean... I could see them together. King Charles is definitely not on the list right? No. Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at LeBatard Show. Can you see Exotic Joe and Machine Gun Kelly hooking up? Joe Exotic, that's a fine. Joe Exotic, excuse me, thank you.

Different guy. I don't know who the other guy is, but. Stugans, are you ready? I am, yeah. Go ahead. O-O-O-L-I. Why are you doing it I am. Yeah, go ahead. Oh Oh, oh, I Why are you doing it this way? I don't know King James I feel like he's about to do an O'Reilly auto parts jingle. Oh, well, I

He doesn't know he's put oh, oh, I he's putting a question mark between the L and the L emphasis on the L is the weird part. Oh an emphasis on the L. It's the weird part. O-O-L-I. Looking in. Richard Petty. The King. The Lion King. The Lion King.

Elvis. The King. The King. Pete Rose. The Hit King. Pete Rose. The Hit King. King Kong. O-L-I. Oh, that was all just O-O-L-I.

Correct. And then the first one was O-O-O-L-I. Right, yes. Got it. Okay. So this is O-O-L-I? No, O-O-L-I. O-L-I.

Oh, got it. Okay. So this is oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Burger King The Lion King you already did that already Carol King Marcel Dion Sequel you said everyone loves sequel go sit in the penalty box just get out of here don't king I don't know how his list keep getting lazier like it's not possible just leave please okay you don't want number five no thank you just you'll brender thank you what about the top four day can you guys get for me please the sound from Bob Costas on CNN?

Sharp pivot. You sure you don't want the top four? I don't want somebody whose list is so sloppy that he can't be bothered to remember that he just said the Lion King five kings ago. There were two of them though. In fairness. Yeah, yeah, there was two. There was another half.

Yeah, with a Broadway play. Yeah, different, yeah. Bunch of options, you know? And Monoghito. Thank you, Tony. There was that one starring Timon and Pumba only. Ooh. Didn't they have a show? Liking one and a half, I think.

Oh, yeah. We're not gonna make any more Peter Kings, right? Like, that's not even gonna be an avenue that anyone has as a career anymore. The idea that you can write about the sport for 45 years. I think you could just narrow it down to people working in sports media for 45 years. Like it's just as more and more of these companies continue to disappear, it's like, where would you even do that?

I was thinking over the weekend because I left here and I was surprised by the amount of objection that I got to the idea that JJ Redick might make more in his broadcasting career than he did in his NBA playing career, given that, you know, I'm in meetings where I'm listening to what the value of individual brands in media are. I know what the value of people are and what's being paid for it. And he's going to be able to work for 25 years in the media if he wants to, given the jobs that he's starting with at the start of his career. And he's going to be making millions of dollars

and owning his own shit on the side as well, which is what so many of these content creators have learned. Everyone in the room disagreed with me on the idea that JJ Redick would make more in his media career than in his playing career. When his media career can be three times as long as his playing career. As you say that, Dan, I actually do think about it.

He owns his YouTube channel that has a million subscribers. It's only gonna get more as he, you know, You guys all objected to it. And I'm like, I don't know what you guys are looking at in the media space, but it's collapsing. Like everyone's going and grabbing their own lifeboats. I've said before to people around here and outside of here

that in florida we have a number of different producers on the show that if they don't work on the show this job doesn't exist anywhere in the state of florida anymore you guys are making more then like television anchors because of the way that local news is collapsing and uh... i don't know uh... we will get to to this Bob Costa sound in the next segment, but I don't know how it is that the people in general listening to this, especially if they're voting for candidates running on a platform of fake media and just hatred for

the media, I don't know if the people listening to this sort of understand the danger in what it is that's crumbling around you because many generations of people haven't been taught that the media protects democracy. They think that the media undermines democracy and it's just sort of like a backward way of looking at it as I've looked at it my entire career. But I will say in regard to Peter King, I am grateful for his grace over those years that he would have that many contacts would be that meant that interested in informing the public teaching the public about football and would do what the best of the old head dinosaurs do is evolve with the sport the way Kirkschen did instead of fighting the

advanced metrics and the changes and the whiz kids learning how to intermingle with them to keep your career evolving from 40 years and beyond. I can't believe that he put anyone ahead of Elvis. Do we think DraftKings is on this list? Folks, whether you're hosting a game day, a movie night, Dijorno knows that planning Do we think DraftKings is on this list? Folks, whether you're hosting a game day, a movie night, DeGiorno knows that planning a watch party on a budget isn't easy. You need the perfect setting, the perfect squad, the perfect eats, and luckily you're a game time mastermind, and you know that grabbing DeGiorno classic crust pizza can

bring home the dub, because it's packed with half a pound of cheese, sauce and other toppings and comes at an incredible price. Make the game winning call and grab a DeGiorno classic crust pizza from the grocery store today. It's not delivery. It's DeGiorno. Don Lebatard. He's like, he needs a wheelbarrow like Mike McDaniel this dog. Got a pair?

Really? Man, does he get a pair? My granddaughter sees his schlong My granddaughter saw his schlong in the kitchen What is this a game of clue? I said that's what he pees with. Okay, that's very good. Stugats.

It was a little extended. I don't know why he was so excited. Alright, very good. Baby. No! Can I take this out? Anyway, he ate my couch. This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats. Number four. Great.

Martin Luther King Jr. I'm okay. Mm-hmm. Number three. Luke Robotide. That's just wrong what you did. What? It's Black History Month. You can't do that.

He can't be number four, huh behind Luke robot I hmm number two Peter King And number one Dan out draft Kings And number one, Dan, out, DraftKings. We were worried. No Gretzky. No Gretzky, yeah. Nah, nah, a cup of coffee.

Did you forget? Did you forget? Who? DraftKings, and then you were going to do Wayne Gretzky, and then you swapped it out. Perhaps. The Accountant 2 is filming now. We were saying about sequels. Ben Affleck's the accountant to it's going straight to Amazon Straight to hell account one wasn't bad. It was a good movie. It was fine

But we're just talking about sequels being made all over the place I also saw that the director of Roadhouse was furious because he wanted a theatrical release and he's only getting Amazon. It's going straight to Amazon and he's feeling lied to. How many steroids is Connor McGregor on in that? I've seen that he's on. Just all of them. Put it on the pole please, Juju, at LeBatard show. Is Connor McGregor on all the steroids in Roadhouse? There's a reason why we haven't seen the announcement for the fight between him and Michael Chandler.

We don't know what weight it is, because we don't know what he can get off of in a matter of time to fit a certain weight. So did Chuck Liddell fall off his boat? Chuck Liddell's fallen off a couple of things. The thing with Connor McGregor, because Sturgats, he looks enormous now, physically just unreasonably thick,

sort of looks in these trailers like a heavyweight, but the thing that I wanted to ask you about Kevin Garnett and I don't know when this kind of stuff Stopped being news that spreads, but Kevin Garnett said of LeBron James. He's on that Balco he's on that new juice, and nobody cares. Dan, Chale says he has the same guy, and nobody listens to Chale. But it's just, it's just strange, it's a strange thing for Kevin Garnett, like that's not a nobody that's saying that. Kevin Garnett saying that of LeBron James to not have it become anything within any time in my life Somebody being accused by a super famous peer of steroid use would be something that would become news

The NBA would never suspend him for that ever ever ever Yep, it's so different than baseball where like every week you see a new Barry Bond stat like oh He walked more times than he fouled pitches off in his whole career. And yet he's not in the Hall of Fame and LeBron were like, ah, yeah, he's doing steroids, it's fine, who cares? Has he ever been tested, ever?

Yeah, I'm sure he's been tested. Yeah, I mean, but that's one of those times. Sure, he sure has been tested. Oh, wink it in the eye. Yeah, yeah. You passed. You have that guy that's in Milwaukee, puts the P in like a crate downstairs, whatever.

Ryan Braun situation. Exactly right. In the meantime, Jim Caroppolo just like, oh by the way, he suspended steroids. You're like, what? Does he get right? He was in steroids. It was something else that got him two games prescribed medicine. You get wrecked with speculator, I don't know. Well, I mean, what it got him was two games of suspension,

and now there's more money for the Raiders to sign off the necklace That is correct After the new agent I'm just saying I mean if you connect the docs the new Peter King ladies and gentlemen Tom Telleco is over there now. He's the guy that brought him into yeah I'm just saying he lives there. He moved out of LA now. He's living over in Las Vegas. He hasn't told me anything But I mean doesn't take an astronomer to connect these dots let's get that Bob Costa sound please do guys because I found myself bothered by the reaction to Bob Costa's over the

course of the weekend because he went on CNN and he did this in response to the question why isn't Joe Biden running a full campaign? There's that I've quoted from you come at this from a position of not wanting to see Trump get elected. You should state that at the outset true? Yes absolutely he is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history. He's only become more disgraceful since 2016 and since 2020. He is a bubbling cauldron of loathsome traits and it's only those who are actually suffering from Trump derangement syndrome, which is the way they and Fox News and all the rest of MAGA Media try to brush aside all the legitimate criticisms of Trump. You have to be in the throes of some sort of toxic

delusion in a toxic cult to believe that Donald Trump has ever been, in any sense, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or ethically fit to be president of the United States. But his supporters are locked in on that. There is no cult of Joe Biden. Even, I just want to finish this thought, Michael, even if he had not run explicitly with the pledge that he would be a one-term president, even if halfway through this term, he had said, look, I've done my job, I have some policy successes, I'll continue to do my job, and now the Democrats can get, as I said before, some people up in the bullpen and sort through it.

He had a chance to be seen as a statesman and a patriot. Now his legacy is likely to be that of a man whose hubris prevented him from seizing the moment in an appropriate way, and at best he can squeak by Trump, that's at best, or he could lose to Trump and subject the nation to four more years of this kind of ongoing insanity, or if he sweeps by, it's very likely that he cannot complete his second term. He'd be 86 at the end of it. He was, I thought, very good on saying, how is this the best we can do, these two candidates. He was not exactly pro-Biden in everything that he said.

We're just playing to you a clip there. But the response to him was consistent, and I've certainly gotten used to it, Stu, this particular dismissal, who is Bob Costas, shows such a disregard for history for perspective for Knowledge and you're only interested in dismissing someone if you're claiming that person is Irrelevant when he's only one of the best people in the history of television as a dismissal it is so ignorant and lazy in the history of television. As a dismissal, it is so ignorant and lazy that it renders invalid almost any criticism

you have after that if your starting point is who the hell is Bob Costas? Yeah, but on that platform, I think a lot of people are saying who the hell is Bob Costas? Like they just don't wanna hear from Costas on that platform. They wanna hear him talk about the Hall of Fame and whether Bond should be in or not.

It's like Emeril Lagasse coming down and bringing down the heat game. Who cares? Because he's one of the best people in the history of television. Bam! And the way that he puts together thoughts is unusual in the history of televised speech. He is very clean about how he delivers thoughts. He's not saying anything there that other people haven't said. He's saying it better.

Well, he's saying whatever it is that he's saying and he's entitled to his opinion. I just think people aren't interested in Bob Costas' opinion on who should be the next president of the United States. Well, CNN is, they're asking him. I understand that. He's a guest on CNN.

But Dan, you're right. He wasn't pro-Biden, but it's so anti-Trump that it comes off as pro-Biden. I don't care Right, you know who needs to get the more bull more bam You're on to something here and a jumper by I do think Dan people of a certain like age group Probably don't know who Bob Costas is like I only am familiar with him because of stuff He did ten years ago, because he's been on HBO the last 10-ish years, right, five-ish years.

And if you're not watching that kind of content, like yeah, he hasn't been doing Sunday night football, he hasn't been doing the Olympics, like you might not be aware of who he is. I also see this in direction of Bill Maher all the time, and it just ignores certain things like there are certain resumes you just can't come after. You can disagree with anyone out there saying whatever it is that they're saying that you

disagree with. But to dismiss a who is Bob Costas or who is Bill Maher when anyone doing it doesn't have the credentials that those people have at anything, at being excellent at anything, that it's sort of it it's dismissive in a way that just shows a lack of knowledge on the subject matter if that's your starting point. I don't think that's true, like I've pretty much ignored Bill Maher's existence my entire life and it's been pretty easy to do so because no one in my circle talks about Bill Maher. No, but when I'm saying you're saying, when someone says who is Bill Maher as if he hasn't been doing groundbreaking television since 1995,

it ignores the resume. You don't have to listen or consume what it is those people are saying, but ignoring their resume and dismissing their resume just because you don't know what their resume is sort of undercuts whatever the criticism is after that. I agree with you on the principle of dismissing the resume, but I think there is difficulty in putting Bill Maher and Bob Costas in the same conversation in that Bob Costas seems to stem from like a journalism background

and his whole premise is coming at you just with facts and being able to put it as eloquently as possible. Well, Bill Maher is coming at you from sort of a comedic lens and over the last several years his biases have sort of shown where Costas is coming in here and doing as you mentioned. He's not necessarily propping up Joe Biden as much as he's saying the obvious about Donald Trump and his lack of qualification. So yes, the dismissal of who is this person is problematic and it just sort of goes to

our media literacy general. But if it's a question of I don't know who this person is, that's one thing. But to describe a person that's irrelevant with that kind of resume, I'm asking you, Stugat, what the bleep does the resume have to be for you to be impressed by it if that's not a resume you're impressed by? Yeah, but the resume doesn't include political commenter. Like, he has, Danny's out of his lane. This is not, if Costas was doing this on MLB network talking about who should be in the Hall of Fame, who shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame, and then someone afterwards said, well, who is Bob Costas? Because they disagree with him, then I'd understand it, right?

In this vein, I kind of do understand why people are saying who the hell is Bob Costas? He's talking politics. No one wants to hear from Costas on that. He's always talked politics, though. He got in trouble for talking politics years ago on his platform, which was a sports platform He did a gun and a gun assay on Sunday night football I know but you're feeling like the resume deserves some modicum of respect for me. It does no no no no no It doesn't the MLB network. It doesn't see an end when you're giving a political views to God's excellence is

Excellence in your field and anyone criticizing Bob Costas's resume does not have one as good But no one genuinely cares what his resume is if you like what he's saying you agree with him And if you don't like you're gonna be like who the hell's this guy like it's the nature of Reacting to politics that you if you like what you hear it's great And it's funny and you're gonna share and if you don't, you're gonna shit on whoever said it. Who scored the fewest points in the all-stream? Bam! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha life has changed.
