Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by Draft Kings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard 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. This episode of the Dan Lebitard show is presented by Draft Kings. Draft Kings are crowns yours. Whoa! That can't be right. Quick pitch. Let's update some more of our looks like tournament here because we've got to go through about 70 of these before this thing gets going too much this weekend. So number five Vanderbilt in our tournament, number five Vanderbilt is represented by...

Tim Kirchin looks like. what Steve Correll will look like when he's really, really old. They're like three years apart. Really? That can't be true. I swear we looked like this was written by Tim. Tim Kirchian gave us this one. That can't be true, though.

Look it up. I believe they're very close to me. I think. But I'm telling you, they're closer than you think. Tim Kirkshan is 69 years old. Steve Corel is 63 years old. So six years. But still, though.

Oh, that's still really close. Saying that he looks really, really old. So that's Vanderbilt. They're playing against McNeice. That's a 12 seed, and that's represented by. Kurt Signetti looks like an actor playing Kurt Signetti. I can see it. Number three, Michigan State.

God, their style is ponderous. It's just all defense again. Michigan State is represented by. Adam Silver looks like a pissed off lighthouse. You guys are so bad to Adam Silver. That's playing number 14, North Dakota State, which is represented by. Nick Wright looks like a Geico caveman. I mean, he does.

That's just, it's exactly like that. It's indisputable. The South region begins Thursday. St. Mary's is represented by. This laugh from Samson feels personal toward Nick Wright. No, no. But I assume if he sees this, it would make him so angry. So, but it's so exact.

The seven seed St. Mary's is represented by. Buster Olney looks like the dad who doesn't want to confront another parent in the carpool line, so he flips him off under the steering wheel. I can see that. My dad does that to police officers. Who hasn't? Who hasn't given the finger to a police officer? I feel like you just like to live dangerously.

I haven't. St. Mary's is playing against number 10 Texas A&M represented by. Adam Silver looks like a knitting needle. Yeah, that one I like. Number four, Nebraska in the South region plays 1240 p.m. on Thursday and is represented by. Bo Nix looks like he's a quarterback on a CW teen drama about high school football. That one's too accurate. Man.

That is playing against number 13 Troy represented by. Joe Mauer looks like the guy who loves to tell you he still prefers to do all his banking in person. So, Dan? I am so lonely every time I walk into a bank. Of course, you're taking whatever David says to the bank. It's like, can I get you? It was Adnan who kept taking things to the bank.

David does it too. David says take that Skippy to the bank or whatever David says. You're combining like three of his difference. You bet your Bippy became Skippy is taken to the bank. Yeah, whatever. That kind of thing. Greg Cody's not in today. He will be in with.

us tomorrow. We will have Greg Cody around here tomorrow, but let's get to Tony's top five free agent, something or nothing. So let's see what we have here. All right, the NFL, it never stops, Dano. Even when it stops, it doesn't. And we have an OLLI, four deep of something or nothing attached to our top five. Are you ready to go? I am, but I'm just seeing this Trump quote on Cuba, quote. I think Cuba in its own way, tourism and everything else. It's a beautiful island, great weather. They're not in a hurricane zone, which is nice for a change. They won't be asking us for money for hurricanes every week. You can't be right about everything. Now, that's the guy I want running my ancestral homeland.

It's always in a hurricane zone. He's given Cuba no thought. He's thought about nothing other than whether he can put hotels there. Man, is he going to be surprised when he's got to put shutters on it? What do you think Marco says when he sees that? Doesn't he, isn't he like, hey, Don, do you have any idea how many hurricanes are in Cuba? Hey! OLLI, number one, Justin Fields, something or nothing. He's a Kansas City chief now. I broke that news yesterday during the show with a breaking news sound and everyone yawned in my face.

Couldn't be more of a nothing. Really? You say it's a nothing right up until Andy Reid starts using him correctly. Andy Reid's the new Belichick in terms of if he gets your guy, your guy's been nothing, but you fear him when he gets in that unit. So something then. I would say that I finally know who a Chief's quarterback is a backup other than Chad Henney. Wait, are we doing something or nothing here?

Or is this a top five? It's a top five of something or nothing. Feels like we're doing something or nothing. It's confusing, Zaz. I'm with you. Zaz wants a clarification, and I don't think it can be both. Can it be both? It can absolutely be both.

What are you talking? You want me cut the bed? I think we're doing something or nothing. It's a top five of something or nothing. It's a top five. Well, Zaz is the judge. Well, no. What does he know?

Well, he's the judge. I don't care about him. We're going to let Zaz decide as the judge. He's going to make a ruling on this. And it sounds like he kind of already has made a ruling on this. How can we take that?

Well, he's the judge on this. We've said that he can be the judge on these things. All rise, the Honorable Jonathan Zaslow, now presiding with prejudice. Is this a traditional top five list? Or are we doing something or nothing? We're doing something or nothing Prejudice

You lose your music Now you gotta do it with no you gotta do it Okay I'll do it with no music That's fine That's fine I'll do it a cappella What about the yes We could do that You can do the yeah if you want

But we're gonna Or if you could just put Samson's sound At the start of the hour where it is All right Bradley Chubb in Buffalo Something or nothing I I

I'm going to say that something. Their pass rush is plenty good without him, and he's going to be a good piece for them, so I'm going to make that a something. Are you going to make it a something? They're paying him more than the Super Bowl MVP is being paid in Kansas City to run the football. I think it's nothing.

Like, didn't they try this with Bosa last year? He was all right. He was good for them. And the year before, didn't they do with Von Miller? He was all right. No, I understand, but it didn't mean anything, you know? So I'm going nothing. But it's only not, it's only something if it wins you the championship.

Well, yeah, like that's what Buffalo is trying to do. Okay. Again, David. He's got nothing for me. Okay, perfect. He's got nothing. At least he didn't make a noise. No, he did make a noise.

That was it. He did it again. That was the sequel. He stopped itself. All right, cut it up. No, but it was just, it was just this. It was. Minor penalty, two minutes.

A fart came out of his mouth. A fart came out of his mouth is what happened there. That was him. That wasn't Chris Cody playing that sound It wasn't? No, it was him. I was taking notes. I really thought he played the sound.

No, he, it squeaked live out of his mouth and Zaz says that's the sequel. But then he stopped himself. I had it and then it went gone. It was puffed. He didn't want it to come out. He came out. He saw it there and he tried not.

I laid out for him. I was like, all right, Dave, you got something here? Fart. All right, keep going. You were taking notes, Jeremy? Yep, added to the arbitration case. Travis A-chan, who's now a New Orleans saint. Something or nothing?

I'm, quiet. Let's play that sound. Travis Etienne. We've all called him Travis Etienne, but he is now in New Orleans, and he's a free agent acquisition. He goes from Jacksonville to New Orleans, and he says we've all been saying his name wrong since college. So growing up,

Travis A-Chann. So it would be like A-C-H-A-N-E. And that's how you always said, Travis A-C-N. But when I went to college, I kept telling them my name, like, every day, every day, every day. And after like four weeks, they just couldn't get it. So I'm like, man, it's E-T-N. Like, how you see it, it's how you say it. So, and that's how that became.

And it kind of took off because it was easy for the pronouncers to say it. I didn't have to just tell them, I didn't have to correct them every day to say my name. and just when I kind of started learning more about my last name and how it came about and things like that, it just kind of stuck and made sense. But I'm very much open to being Travis A-chan again, just being myself, I don't have to correct people here on how to say my name each and every day.

And I kind of love that, and that's just get back to me. I wanted to have fun with that, and that made me sad. Does it make you sad that Hall of Famer Tony Perez played his entire career being called Tony. even though his name is Donnie. He never corrected anything. Really? No, but that's like Milan and Milano. No. No, no. Roman Roma. Nope. Nope. His name is spelled T-O-N-Y. Nope. It's not. It's got Americanized. It's like

Antonosio or something. It's Doni. It's not Tony. It's not Tony. His name is not Tony Perez. It's not. How does he introduce himself even today? Tony Perez. He is Tony. He is Tony. I'm not making that up. I'm not making that up. They got his Antonacio. They got his Hall of Fame plaque wrong.

He never corrected anybody. He just changed his name to Tony and started calling himself Tony on behalf of others

because he didn't want to explain it every time. But that's totally fine. It happens all the time, Dan. There are people,

this is totally different. What he's saying is when you can correct a last name pronunciation, that's not a

pronunciation issue, Tony and Tani. Those are two different names. I can just as easily say Tony as I can Tony. Just say it's Tony. And I would have called him Tony.

But when Chris is saying it makes him sad, he hasn't, he's gotten tired of correcting people. We've all been saying his name wrong. Etienne, we've been saying, we've not been calling him A-chan. That's the first I'm hearing that his name is A-chan. It's the first

any of us are hearing that his name is A-chan. We've all got in his name wrong the same way we did with Tony Perez. You know, now that I think about it, we're doing this with my name as well. It's French. It's Cote. And what about this Boston Red Sox number two starter? Jeremy, what's his name?

Just signed. I don't know. Ron Her. That's going to hurt you in arbitration right there, which is saying. You didn't know that I was honest. Red Sox number two? It's supposed to be your strong suit. I honestly thought it was a guy named Steve.

I don't know. We thought it was Ranger Suarez. Ranger, you've called him that. Which you shouldn't have because that's your background. I thought Beyo was their second starter, Bello. He may be their fifth. That's nice that you could name him. They changed his name.

He re-corrected how to pronounce. Tani-Tone is not a pronunciation. A-T-N, A-T-on. That's pronunciation. Zaslo, would you like to hear the sequel of David Sampson limping to the microphone? Of course. The sequels are not always as strong as the original, but it's still good.

You're right about that. You're a movie guy. That one's going to stick with me all day. You've been waiting to get quizzed on baseball. I thought we were talking about Sunny Gray. He was going to give you. I was so confused. to talk baseball for months.

And what he does is he looks to you and he says, Jeremy, you're my guy here. Red Sox, damn. He did that to you because you did Putin to him. Yeah, yeah. I feel bad. And now he lashed out at poor Jeremy. Hello friends.

You know that energy shift when the game gets good and everybody, all together, in unison, knows to stand up on their feet? Oh, absolutely, Mike. Yeah, you've been at many big-time sporting events. You know that moment quite well. That's what it's like when you take your first sip of Quervo.

Oh, delicious. It's the signal that says, we're not checking the time anymore, pal. It's when small talk turns into stories. Quervo, man, it's at high five, a random stranger effect. That's right. The game is popping. You're hugging people you never met before. That's the kind of energy that Quervo brings.

It's so smooth, so delicious. That's the Quervo effect. Keep it, Quervo. Don Lebertard. To us, residents. Oh, wow. That's pretty good. I think I haven't been practicing?

Stugats. I didn't realize we had a substitute complicated legacy. Brought you by headquarters of Toyota. 441 and Powerline Road. Second down to nine. This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats. Number five, Romeo Dubs, something or nothing. I thought his name should be pronounced Dobbs.

Dobbs? Dubs. Why? Tani. Number four. Number four. Kyler Murray, Minnesota. Something?

Nothing. Nothing. Mike Ryan was arguing on behalf of the Packers' skill guys, their receivers specifically. I didn't think that Dobbs was much of a number one. I don't think Watson is a number one. Dobbs changing teams. How much money did he end up getting? About 68.

You guys think that's a something or a nothing says? I think it's something. Yeah, I think it's... I'm interested in what it looks like. So, yeah, I think it's interesting. I think Drake May needed somebody who is better than who they had, which is you can't name anybody. And he's sketched on booty or whatever.

Romeo dubs is a guy who's going to be there day in and day out and do his stuff. The problem is, like we said the other day about the package receivers, everybody was a B. They didn't really have an alpha like Devante Adams like they used to have. So it's like this is another guy that's going to be a better, a B plus in a room full of Cs. Wait a minute, though. Chris Cody has a fair criticism of

Tony's football announced. Dobbs is going to be there day in, day out, and do his stuff. That is not great analysis, but Kyler Murray has to be something because if for no other reason, J.J. McCarthy has been told that that plug has been pulled very quickly. That is a decision that Minnesota made to move off of J.J. McCarthy. Now, maybe he'll get another chance, but he's lost. lost what was his opportunity. I mean, they did fire the general manager who drafted him.

So, yeah, like the writing's on the wall there. And the Murray thing, like, that's a story. That's going to be a story every week all season long. So that's definitely something. But Japan and the minimum, what's the difference? It's like bringing in, it's like the facton's bringing in Tua and all of a sudden making it the lead story, whether or not he or panics will be. It doesn't matter.

Number three, Tua, Tua, Taukevilo, and Atlanta. Something or nothing? It's all nothing when he's at the minimum. It definitionally, it's nothing. So it's nothing unless he's. getting paid $150 million? That's my, that's, no, yes. My view of something, nothing is financially related.

If a guy, if you bring him in on a flyer at the minimum, there's no dead cap issue, there's no performance issue. If two is a turd or throws an interception or does anything, see you later. No, but what if he's great? David, you're discounting that if either of these guys, if they play well, all of a sudden both of those teams have the greatest. value thing that you want in that entire sport, which is a cheap quarterback. You should love that.

That is something that is absolutely a something. If you can get the greatest thing that there is in that sport, value at that position. It's the horseshoe argument where something and nothing are right next to each other. I absolutely agree with what you're saying, which is why you want people on the minimum, because there's no risk. The whole purpose of it, the reason when you have the four-year deals with guaranteed money, there's way more pressure on the GM. there's way more pressure on the coach to get something out of that player.

But isn't there a potential huge reward? For everybody on the minimum. There's no difference between Tua and Kyler and anyone else at the minimum. No, that's not true. No. Quarterback at the minimum is more valuable than all the other positions at the minimum if you're getting great play from quarterback. Pre-extension.

Any quarterback pre-extension is overvalued, and you want to try to win with that quarterback pre-exension. If I tell every single team in that sport, I can give you one thing and only one. one thing to start your franchise, what do you want? They would say, give me a great cheap quarterback. But Tua and Kyler Murray are not that. Well, I mean, we don't know. She had flashes. We don't know. Kyle Murray might be that in Minnesota with those skill guys. We don't. Justin Jefferson was the best receiver in the league until he wasn't last year. And I thought that

was an indictment of J.J. McCarthy, not Jefferson. You don't get to be the best and not the best. That is the nature of baseball. When a great player has a bad season, if Otani doesn't win the MVP, or Aaron Judge doesn't hit 60, are you changing your evaluation of that player? David, that's an individual sport. They're responsible for their own metrics. You're alone in a batters box. A quarterback requires a receiver.

There's off years, Dan. I'm not going to have changed my evaluation of Tua if all of a sudden he takes over for Pennings in Atlanta. I don't think anybody listening to this thinks that Justin Jefferson is worse. They say J.J. McCarthy can't play because that's what Justin. Justin Jefferson looked like with him. Yeah, because it's a dependent sport. But what do you say about Tua?

Oh, I mean, I don't think he's any good anymore. So then how is it something? Something because he's buoyed by skill position players that he didn't have in Miami after Tyree Hill got hurt. But now you're looking at Bejohn Robinson, Kyle Pitts. You're looking at Drake London. You're looking at an incredible set of skill guys that if they can get the offense right,

like Tua could be very, very successful in a dome playing against a bad division. Wow, so you're impuning the Dolphins personnel. you're not in any way regarding Tua and his skills. I thought that when they had the best personnel available, they were the best offensive football under Mike McDaniel. And then, you know, obviously as the skills regressed, Tua also regressed. And that's not only offensive line, that's skill position,

and that's his own play. But the problem is you go in a change of scenery. Dave, you've seen it a thousand times over the years. You have a guy who doesn't play well in San Diego, all of a sudden he shows up in Minnesota, and he's playing great ball. Like Tua maybe just needed a change of scenery to another place that the,

that the weight of the world, the weight of the franchise isn't on him. He's getting paid the minimum. And all of a sudden he's like, all right, I can play. I can sling the pill. I actually think it's nothing because I don't think he's any good. I don't think it's going to work. I want to ask the group, though, something without any context, okay? Don't take into consideration.

Just try and make your mind totally blank. Don't think of how David looks. Don't think of any history that you know of David. Don't think of the shirt he's wearing. Don't think of anything David related. I just tell you that I'm walking at midnight, okay, in a cornfield, okay? And I'm a little scared. I'm a little worried because I don't know what is where,

and I'm a little haunted by midnight cornfields, and this is the sound that I hear from a little bit of a distance. Horrifying, correct? Yeah, you gotta start running. Not automatic running. Not funny in any way. The opposite of fun. Not jogging.

So, okay, I'm walking through and I'm already. Full sprint. I'm a little bit scared and I'm, there's some rustling. You stepped on a twig and you already kind of got nervous. Yeah, but there's no light. There's no light. It's cornfield, okay? And I don't know the size of this thing, but it's out there somewhere.

I think I'm going to bring this to my house around Halloween time. Is there any sound that you would hear in the cornfield that wouldn't make you scared? Like a bird whistling? Many sounds are scarier. it's a fair appraisal by you, but very few are going to be as scary as this, because this is demonic. Like, if you told me that's what the Blair Witch

sounds like, I'd be like, yeah, that is. It's been a rough day. That was funny. Number two, DJ Moore and Buffalo, something or nothing. That's got to be a something, right? Like, that's got to be a something. You've got to like DJ more, more than Stefan Diggs.

He really hasn't had a number one in a minute, right? like somebody who felt like a number one to you? I think we forget, Stefan Diggs had a really good season this past year. Like D.J. Moore's not going to be that. I think it's nothing. You think Stefan Diggs had a good year with the Patriots, though? Yes, this past season, yeah. Okay, so you think D.J. Moore is going to be nothing?

Like, you don't. DJ Moore and Carolina, what D.J. Moore did in Carolina to me is the number one, was more impressive than anything Stefan Diggs did this year with the Patriots. And he had the one really good year in Chicago, too. But last year, I could see last year. be in the year that. So hold on. He was so good with the Patriots that they cut him after a season.

Well, no. And then he got brought in Romeo dubs. No, you got to add some context there. Like, Stefan Diggs is a ticking time bomb. Like, we know this. He's also a ticking time bomb in play, too. Like, he hasn't been able to get separation. He hasn't had his ability to go nine route.

He had 80 plus catches this last one. He did. Like, DJ Moore's not getting the 80 catches. Drake May was great. That's why. Like, he was, again, talked about in the MVP race until the end of the year where he completely fell apart. What happened with the Bears was weird, though, because

their skill guys were good and they decided, ah, never mind about DJ Moore and Adunze, we're just going to throw it in the seam all the time now. Like, we're not going to... The Lovlin is so good, Luther Burden, Dan. In the middle of the season, they decided, never mind about the Adunzee DJ. He got hurt, though, to be fair.

Aduenzee was hurt, but they're like, we're just going to throw it to these two guys. That was the best advice that Matthew Berry gave us all year long was that after the by week, the bears were going to start using Luther Burden and Colston Lovlin more than anybody else. else, and that's exactly what happened. Is there a pair in the NFL more than Luther Burden and Colston Loveland that sound like R&B

singers? That's a good. Luther Burden, R&B Singer. Colston Loveland, R&B Singer. We have been, those are good. We actually should do that game. We should do the game of people in sports who have the most R&B singer names. We've been pounding David here pretty good in terms of making fun of him, and he says

that I'm no good at making fun of myself. so why don't you play for the people how it is that I tried to say J.J. McCarthy. J.J. McCarthy, not. Do you want to go Jameson there in the middle? Well, also. He wanted one. What you can't tell from the auto, he, mid-pronunciation, he looked at me for confirmation. J-J. McCartney, not.

The little. You can hear the turn. J-J.J. McCartney, McArthur, not. J.J. McCartney, McCartney, not. If I'm in a cornfield and I hear that, I'm running. That person has obviously escaped from a mental institution. It's not the same thing at all. Wait a minute.

That's a person saying it. My noise could be something that I could step on. Your noise is Shutter Island. No, no, it's Stutter Island. Mine is just somebody who's got a speech. Bravo, Dan. Thank you. Number one.

Number one, Dano. What seemed like a big deal, but is actually a one year $60 million deal. Mike Evans. Something or nothing for that San Francisco team. For a second, I thought we were doing big deal or not a big deal. Something or nothing. That's a totally different game. It felt like Tony forgot his game there for a second.

There was a gap in between the sentence and then he's like, oh, wait. Yeah. Is it big deal, not a big deal? But it wasn't a big deal? Or is it something or nothing or is it a top five? I meant the contract was a big deal. It was thought to be a big deal. There go, thank you.

It does sound like it was big deal or not a big deal. No, no, no, no. This is too much. Don Lebertard. What a motherfucker-roes at. Bring his ass on here. Where's the motherfucker roeze? It's a great question.

Stugats. Running, huh? He running today, huh? I'm ready. This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats. year played in eight games. Mike Evans, that's the first season he's ever had that's not a thousand-yard season, right? Yes.

So he comes into the league and as a first round pick and Johnny Mansell was supposed to be something in terms of an impact player akin to what Mike Evans was. Mike Evans goes to Tampa and is a number one receiver the entire time. Is it 12 years? I think it was 11. This was the 12th year maybe? So he went 10 straight. No one's ever done that before.

A decade of thousand yard seasons every season. To start your career. But that's the first time that's- Yes. Jerry Rice never had 10 consecutive thousand-yard seasons? Yes, but not to start a career, right? Because JJ. Who clip it?

Jerry. Jerry Rice had to have had 10 straight seasons of a thousand yards. It just wouldn't have been to start a career. But are people assuming he's spent now? Because after 11 years, most receivers are going to- to be on the decline. Is there a correlation between the size and length of the goodbye that you give to your old team and how finished you think you are? Did you see Mike Evans and what he did in Tampa?

Oh. It was Tolstoy. He left a book behind. It's too much for a one-year deal. When you're going like 10 years, $300 million leaving your home. He signed for three years. He signed for three years. That's why I said it was a bigger deal.

but San Francisco can get out of it after one because it's three for 42, which is why I said big deal, three for 42, but it actually ends up being a one for 16 if you toast. It still sounds like that's big deal or not a big deal. No, but big deal contract-wise. I don't think you know how big deal not a big deal works, man.

I don't think you know what I'm doing. Thank you. Jerry Rice, by the way, had 11,000-yard seasons in a row. The only one that was not was his rookie year where he had 927. It would have been 12. Then he got hurt,

and then he had another thousand yard receiving. year at 37. He also had 1,000 yards at 40. He's a good player. Pretty good. It's back when a thousand meant something. Me, it meant way more under Jerry Rice than it does today. Way more. Jimmy Fox. That's pretty good.

In terms of that gives off rhythm and blues, Jimmy Fox? Jimmy Fox is a, what year are we talking about as a baseball player? Are we talking about 1940s? He began his career in 1925, and it ended in 1945.

So Jimmy Fox is that you went into the 80, you went into a library from 80 years ago to find just the right name. I got a big library here, Dan. For an R&B singer, Jimmy Fox. It's pretty good. Someone in the chat submitted Mo Ali Cox and Tyler Warren, who are both tight ends for the Colts. Ty Warren and Moe Alley Cox. I don't like Ty Warren. I like Mo Alley Cox in almost all circumstances.

Is there a game we could play where we don't like Mo Alley Cox? No, that name sounds like a song. song. The syllable count on Mo Alley Cox sounds like something that's delightful. It sounds like stage four. Come to stage four, Moe Alley Cox. Oh, adult film in history

to you. I didn't know. Stage four can, that was I didn't know where we were going there. Tutsis stage four. Don't drop on me that none of you have seen stage four at Tutsis. I've never been there. Hey. David. David. You've never been to Tutsis. Let me be clear. Let me be clear. Thank you. I've been

outside. His wife's listening. I've been outside. I've been outside. No, she doesn't. I've been outside. I actually saw Money Mayweather there pop out of a Bentley with like 20 guys from TMT. The problem is my car got to climb. I couldn't go in there. I saw a little bit outside. It's a little embarrassing to have happened. My phone died too. So I was like, what's going on here? But then I realized that the place that we went to prior to, they overcharged my car. They charged me twice. So it took all the money out of my account because I didn't have the credit card. The time was very young. And all of a sudden I go in. They're like, hey, your car got to climb. But you got to go outside. My phone dies. My friends are inside. And I'm like, guys, what do I do here? So I had to wait outside for like three hours until they got out of four in the morning. And they were like, what? happened to you and I was like I got stuck but I saw Mayweather. The only guy who spends three hours on the curb on the front end of Tootis. Sitting outside is the spot to be. That's where I saw Luall Dang. Last time I was there I got there before opening. I had to wait in the parking lot for it to open. So they closed.

They closed. So we can go in. Me and Brett Romberg. Wow. We just sat in the parking. It's not nice to say who you were with when you go to Texas. Oh please. It was at N. Verk. He took you me the entire production staff that It was there. It was after our show one morning. We got done at 10 a.m. We're like, let's go to Tutsis. And it wasn't open yet. We had to wait in the parking lot for like an hour. I think it opens at 11. Let's do that today.

We got in. We sat at the bar. We sat at the bar. David, you did? We were having a good time. Free lunch. Guy sat right next to me. Ordered a lobster. That's Scarlet, I think. I've told you guys. I told you guys this story. It's a true story. My father, Cuban exile, four years on his way

to work, kept driving past a place that simply had on the marquee free lunch, free lunch, did it for year, didn't know it was a strip club, goes in one day just to have the free lunch. I want to have free lunch. Who wouldn't? Didn't know and sat there and was confused as nude women started dancing around him because he was just there for the prime rip. He's like, this place has been offering free lunch the entire time I'm going.

I'm going to go in there and see if they mean it. Did not know it was a strip club. I can't believe you brought that story. I'm not making that up. That's what every father would say. to his son. I had no idea. I believe Bobby.

My father's perfectly capable of this. We were talking about Tony not having money, but I wanted to talk about the latest story that's got people really mad. David Zazlov, no relation to Zaslo. Well, yeah, no relation because it's not the same name. The Warner Brothers Discovery CEO, because of this Warner Brothers Paramount merger,

as they're laying off so many people, he's going to get $887 million in payments. There's the $34 million cash severance, and then there's $517 million in unvested equity awards, $335 million in tax reimbursements. It's absurd when they're firing people, and it points out, yet again, this is how business is done in America.

The CEOs just get to cash in on things like, this. This pleases you, right, David, to see this person walk away with all of this unearned money? Do you know what happens when companies are suffering and layoffs happen is the head of the company takes a pay cut every time? Obviously, that's how it always works. When there's issues at a company, the head guy takes a pay cut. Give me a break. Of course he's getting that money. Look at the value that he created. Where's the conversation of all the shareholders who are so happy that they got taken out by Allison and by Paramount that they can't. cashed in. They are loving it. It's grotesque. No. So you call your broker and you say, do me a

favor, find me some losers. If you don't mind. Find me the people who pay their employees the most. I want to invest in that company. No, no, no, the shares go up in price. No, no, I don't want that. I want to know where the employees get paid the most. Now they can buy one of those high rises in Cuba. Is that what you ask that your financial advisor to do? Find me some, loses. No. What was that? I don't know who that was. I don't know what that was an impersonation of. You calling your broker saying, don't make me money.

No, but Metal Lark, when it was founded, I remember Skipper saying the CEO here will never make more than 15 times more than the lowest paid employee. It's not a thing that will ever happen. Like that, that we were trying to keep that

as some kind of reasonable within what you do for your least paid worker and what laborer and what you do for your most paid laborer? Until you realize that's not realistic and that was the end of Skipper and that's the end of that desire here at the company because that's not how companies are run. It's very

nice to say that. It's not the end of that desire and it has nothing to do. Hey, who out there makes the least money and what's 15 times how much you make? 15 million. That's what I'm trying to figure out right now in my head too. I was in the same thing. You came up with some random equation. It's where

all your guys are now doing the math trying to ask each other. Wait, you get paid 30 grand. That's it. All right, 15 times. Oh, my God. That's how much we pay you? No, there was no salary in the company more than a million dollars. There would not be more than a million dollars in salary. And it was me. Are you willing to say that Metal Arc Media and Warner Brothers Discovery may be different? Yeah, they are different, but what I'm talking about is the, what's happening in America right now, what is happening in America right now with the billionaire class and the have not is a bigger distance than we've

that we've ever had between the people who work for a company as laborers and the people who are at the top of the company. You're going to be the only person out here, David, in the media arguing on behalf of David Zaslov deserves $887

million. You're going to be the only one saying that. I may be the only one saying it, but I'm sure as heck fired out the only one thinking it. And that's just how it goes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What do you mean you're not the only one thinking? Just the billionaire class is going to be thinking it. Only people who do business at the top end of ridiculous sums of money

are going to be supporting that amount of money for this clown who's run this thing. Can you go through what they are? Because did you hear what unvested equity is? What is that to you? Do you want me to give the numbers? I just want to know if that's cash to you. Like, because you claim he's getting $800 million in cash, so I just want to make sure we at least tell the audience the truth.

The cash severance. I already said this. The cash severance is $34 million. and the unvested equity awards at $517.2 million. How do you get such an exact number on unvested equity? It was a ball. It was absolutely a ball. Mikey.

Yeah, it was three inches too low. And it's insane. Thank you. That this is even a conversation. Now, I don't think we should have fired off 36 penalties in the name of it, but you were wrong. Where you been? I had an event at my daughter's school and then a lane closure on the 836, but it looks

like I walked in at the right time. How was it? How was the event? That was great. Coffee, donuts, picture. My daughter writing a book about me that said my favorite hobby is watching High Lie, which it's up there. Speaking of, you got a watch party this week. We do. Tomorrow, we are going to introduce our audience formally on YouTube. YouTube.com slash at Levitard show to a Cyclones game and the entire Cyclone's

Oh, you want to be our special guest? I'm going to be back in New York, but if you'll let me zoom in, because there's two things I don't know in the world of sports, I don't know the rules of cricket, and I don't know the rules of Highlight. And I'd love to learn. David Samson, we have a clock here that you're supposed to respect. Mike, this is what you missed. This was David Samson's first communication on our show today.

I'm, I, cry. Mike, you know I have one rule to live by, right? Don't place parleyes on multiple long shots. Don't say a game is one when it hasn't hit triple zero. Always drink your Yeagermeister ice cold. That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion. Everything else?

Everything else. Wearing clean underwear every day. Well, that's just a personal decision. Brushing your teeth. Obviously smart, but not a rule. Never pee on an electric fence. Okay, maybe there are two rules. But the one that is 100%.

percent that I insist on completely, Yeagermeister must be drank ice cold. Or don't drink it at all. Damn, that's cold. Exactly. You're finally starting to get it. Drink responsibly. Yeagermeister liqueur, 35% alcohol by volume imported by mass Yeagermeister U.S.

White Plains, New York.
