Starting point is 00:00:00 Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Quervo. What are you doing here? Quervo. Anytime someone says quarevo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during and reads, like... Quervo.
Starting point is 00:00:15 I think he could lay out, especially from one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious quervo. Since then, Cuervo is stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Quervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Quervo. Quervo.
Starting point is 00:00:29 The tequila. That invented tequila. Roximo.com. Please drink responsibly. Quervo. Welcome to the big sui. Presented by Draft Kings. Why are you listening to this show?
Starting point is 00:00:43 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 that if they're just just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face
Starting point is 00:01:04 and the habitual liar. This episode of the Dan Labitart show is presented by Draft Kings. Draft Kings, the crown is yours. We welcome in David Samson. Nothing personal with David Samson is the show. You listen to it every day. You catch wherever you get podcasts on Draft King's Network on YouTube wherever you find yourself listening to stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:26 And David, we got a lot to get to The Greatest World Series of all time, all that stuff. I know usually we hold the movie talk to the end, but I did want to include you in this conversation we had right before you came on about the running man. Tony just found out that it's a reboot. He asked, should I watch the original one? He didn't know anything about it. He didn't know anything about it.
Starting point is 00:01:45 We had to teach him about it. But he asked, should I watch the original one, would you, as a movie aficionado, suggest that he wait to watch the old one after he watches the new one or to watch the old one first and then watch the new one? going to be that guy because i don't want to turn into my father where i say the original is always better you got to start with the original no no i'm new age man i'm young now forget the original go with the new one forget the original it's old it's 1980 something like seven it's so long ago
Starting point is 00:02:19 you probably weren't even alive so screw it just forget arnold forget dick dawson and go right to GP. Ah, but I like Arnold, though. Well, okay, then watch that one first. It's so good. There's no way this remake. So I have a question that I'm asking myself, which is, am I even going to watch this one? Oh, my, it's like me watching Colin Farrell, who I love. But I'm really taking the time to watch Total Recall. And I did. And I regretted it. Am I going to take the time to watch Russell Brand, and arthur forget it i'm a dudley more guy but i did it and the new ones are never as good as the originals but i'm old manchurian candidate the new one was better than the original oh it's a good movie then so that is interesting um so there are examples but i think that that that one the original
Starting point is 00:03:18 mentoring candidate is a different even generation than the authors and the total recalls of the world. So in that case, I'm with you, where I would always prefer the new ones just because it makes me feel more current. But when they're redoing movies from the 80s, it makes me insane. David, Christopher Nolan does amazing movies, but would you agree that Tenet is a piece of shit? No, I think that it just wasn't received well because no one understood it. probably a key element to making a movie yeah i'm with zaz did you understand it i did not understand it but that is not directly correlated to whether i love something because i leave movies often where i have to ask my girlfriend hey what just happened or i i don't understand a whole lot of
Starting point is 00:04:05 stuff that goes on and i don't necessarily use that as my sole barometer i have an appreciation for that movie and what sort of the movie of it the technical movie of it without understanding it at all. I don't agree. I mean, his explanation was even more confusing than the plot. It's a bad movie. I mean, that's a word salad. It's a bad movie.
Starting point is 00:04:28 And what are your thoughts on John David Washington as a performer? I know he had Black Klansman that was well received, but in terms of stretching his chops, after that, he is a failed leading man. And the box office has spoken on that with pretty finality, I think. Oh, it may not be finality, but they certainly have spoken. But Mike, I would ask you,
Starting point is 00:04:49 do you have to like a piece of art in the Louvre to appreciate the fact that it is great art? I like ambition. You have to at least understand it? Yeah, understanding it, it was so convoluted. It was a real Christopher Nolan Heechek, I thought. And it probably worked against the film's best interest that there wasn't anybody in there
Starting point is 00:05:14 because he has such creative power saying, This is way too damn confusing, even for you. And I also think they got the lead switched up. I don't think the lead was as charismatic. Maybe if you had a more charismatic lead, people would care about the main character more. I ended up caring more about the supporting cast. Mike, I'm going to tell you right now, this is something I've held for the last maybe five, six, seven years. I used to always, oh, a movie comes out, and then the director's cut comes out.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Yeah, show me the version that the studio haters didn't want us to see. So what's a little longer? Give me that Snyder cut. Yeah, give me the raw, uncut, right? And now I'm like, man, the studio is right, man. These guys need editors. They need editors. Otherwise, it's just like fever dreams, David.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Yeah, so I never minded seeing things or reading things that I didn't understand and just appreciating the quality of them. Like with poetry, hard for me to understand. Shakespeare, hard to understand, but you're just appreciating what you're reading. As I said, art, movies are the same for me. I just love, there's a bunch of action sequences, action movies, where I really don't understand what's happening. It doesn't make sense.
Starting point is 00:06:17 I can't keep track of characters. Like, there was a recent show I watched Mobland. Oh, yeah, Mobland. I loved it. But I'm not sure that I really remembered which characters were what and who was doing what to who and hating who. But I still appreciated it as a great piece of, you know, seen Pierce, Brazzan, James Bond, by the way, Zaz,
Starting point is 00:06:37 outrage that you've never seen a Bond movie. I know. I know. It is stupid to me, actually. I have no sense. I even say, it's not like I'm not seeing it because, oh, I'm not into it. I know I would like them. I know. It's embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:06:50 I get it. I just don't understand the concept of knowing that that's what threw me off in the first hour. When you know you like something and then still don't do it, that is maybe the poorest reflection on going after your own hedonism that I've ever heard. How about this, Zaz? I'm going to read you a little synopsis of Skyfall for James Bond, Daniel Craig, right? James Bond's loyalty to M is tested when her past comes.
Starting point is 00:07:14 back to Haunter. When MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat no matter how much the personal cost. Oh, come on the same. Yo, I like that. That sounds good. Not all of the same, Dave. Not all of the same. I like that. It's the British version of Mission Impossible, right?
Starting point is 00:07:30 Another goaded franchise. Another goaded franchise. But also, I walk away sometimes thinking in your defense as, like, what was that movie about? I don't remember. I don't remember what Ghost Protocol was about. Mike will remind me. He was disavowed. He was disavowed again.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Do you not get that? Is that the one where Henry Cavill does the cool thing with his fists? No. Oh. One of the great things about Bond movies is that when I, it makes you realize sort of where you are, what you love, what you don't love. Maud Adams was one of, along with Shannon Tweed, I would say, in the first two examples. Of course, well, there was a movie called Hot Dog the movie. One of the worst movies you'll ever see.
Starting point is 00:08:12 except it was fantastic. And Maude Adams was in a Bond movie called Octopussy, which was mentioned by Tony early in last hour. And that's a movie you just see because how do you not see it when you're 13 years old. And instead of studying your Haftora, you know, you're watching Maude Adams and trying to figure out how the world works.
Starting point is 00:08:32 So I think that Zaz, you have an opportunity to do something with your kids to open them to a world of greatness. And I think you should start like during COVID, I'd never seen a Marvel movie or a Harry Potter movie and I watch, Lord of the Rings and I watched them all during COVID. I think you have an opportunity right now during the government shutdown since you can't fly. I think you have an opportunity to watch every Bond movie with your children. American Airlines has buses now, by the way.
Starting point is 00:09:00 You know about that auto pussy? I do. I don't know if we're talking about the same one, but I know about that. It's a big story of me, especially for you going back and forth. It's an absolute nightmare. everyone figuring out which are the 40 airports that they're going to cut the flights. And the good news is the FAA, the head of the department said, we're doing this proactively. We're not going to react to plane crashes.
Starting point is 00:09:25 We're going to try to avoid them by delaying flights and canceling flights right now. I thought that was super nice of him. 10% of flights are getting cut back while this shutdown is going on in anticipation of the increased travel during holiday season which is right upon us they're saying oh show up to the airport early but to find that them a flight got canceled no you'll know in advance but there's one rule that you can learn by watching the west wing or you can learn just by living that uh like an air traffic controller strike or a government shutdown those do not fly or that's a misuse of that word good job you can thank you you can't use have that happen during the holiday period October's generally a slow month
Starting point is 00:10:11 travel so things aren't insane, but come Thanksgiving, you can bet your keister that this will be taken care of because the airlines will not in any way except a reduced schedule during holiday travel. Do you think it gets resolved? You think the shutdown gets resolved before Thanksgiving? Yeah, it has to. It absolutely has to. I thought I read that people think it's going to be back this weekend.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Really? I think that the pressure is being brought to bear. So how is everyone? Everyone reacts the same way. if it doesn't affect me then i don't care it's we know we had election day this week and the results miami was especially horrible about voter turnout where such a small percentage of people use their right to vote which makes me insane obviously however i was a tiny i would tell you that uh it is a very big deal to have a government shutdown only when it starts impacting
Starting point is 00:11:06 citizens and air traffic is one of those things that starts impacting people when they want to see family during the holiday time period. Zaz, you know about that Spector? A cryptic message from James Bond's past sends him on a trail to uncover the existence of a sinister organization named Spector. With a new threat dawning, Bond learns a terrible truth about the author of his pain at his most recent mission. Yo, that sounds good.
Starting point is 00:11:29 I like that. It was City of Miami and High Alia, basically local governments that just exist for sports owners to extort. But still, 20% of it. of eligible voters showing up, I think you'd have to agree, is a number that should be embarrassing to you. It's also super old people that live in both cities, right? So it's not like a massive Miami thing.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Like, Kendall doesn't have voting. I love Kendall. My man. I love Kendall. You should be mayor of Kendall. I want to be. Would you consider that? If they put a zip line at the top of the ELSA, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:12:01 We will never incorporate. Thank you. We will never incorporate. Unincorporated, proudly. Yes. Unless a sports owner comes along and wants to extort us and promise us the world or the water park at MetroZo. That's big on the docket. Then we're willing to listen. Dan Lebatard. We love you. We've got you. We've all got each other. Let's go right now. Stugats.
Starting point is 00:12:21 One, two, three, Brett. One, two, three. Brett. This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats. Are the Tigers really going to deal, Scoobel? If they're smart, they would. If they're smart, this guy seems amazing, and he pitched lights out for them. They got it to the playoffs. Why would this be a smart move getting rid of one of the game's best arms?
Starting point is 00:12:55 Because this is when he's at his most valuable. The year before, free agency, and I'm not saying they'll get it right because it's possible that they'll trade for Miller and Maibon and they won't work out. And it's possible Scoobel will be an MVP and a, you know, a Hall of Fame guy. However, you have to maximize your assets and trading players a year too early is way better than trading them a year too late.
Starting point is 00:13:17 And you can turn scoble right now. You can turn him into way more than scoble, especially with pitching injuries that are happening left, right and center. The ability of pitchers to sign long term, only a few teams want to do it. Nobody should do it. So that's the whole goal when you've got assets, whether it's stocks, whether it's currency, whether it's players, whatever it is that you're quote-unquote trafficking in, the key is to sell high and buy low. And there is no higher selling than Scoobel out of Detroit right now.
Starting point is 00:13:54 But aren't they a contender? Yes. So why do that? I know it's not. They're going to get major league pieces. They're going to get depth. They're going to get an opportunity. They were at scoble had, I would argue.
Starting point is 00:14:07 It's like second straight. Yamamoto, get out of here. I don't understand. It's counterintuitive to a team that's like pretty close. Well, as I recall, he won Sai Young's two years ago. I believe he's going to win this year. He's a finalist. He's going to win.
Starting point is 00:14:21 That'll be two Sai Yungs in a row and a total of zero World Series, zero lead championship series appearances. So in baseball, having a Cy Young winner is amazing. Having a number one starter, hard to find. But guess what? It's time to turn. if you're the Tigers, because you're not going to have a top five payroll. You're not going to be able to sign him long term very likely.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Therefore, maximize what you're going to get from him. David, in basketball, we see a lot of monkeys see monkey do. People see success, and then they try to emulate the success. In baseball, we went through this phase where everyone's like, starting pitcher doesn't matter. We're just going to have bullpens. Guys are going to pitch four innings. And then we're just going to cycle through.
Starting point is 00:15:02 And now the Dodgers came out and they won a World Series, basically on the backs of starting pitching. do you anticipate a shift in philosophy back to the importance of the starting pitcher? Well, really what you're seeing to mean is what the Dodgers did is something called load management, which had never happened in baseball before. Baseball, there were times when you're playing guys 160 times. Sometimes you had what was called a Sunday lineup, so guys would play six days but sit the seventh day like they're resting for Shabbat.
Starting point is 00:15:34 What the Dodgers did is they went full. Billy Epler. They secreted people away on the injured list, and all of a sudden, the pitchers were healthy and ready to roll for October, and they were fresh as tomatoes on the side of the highway. So I think that's what's going to be copied. Baseball is very much a monkey see monkey do sport. When that started with the shift, that starts with all sorts of things, I think next year, and it's going to be a CBA issue, you are going to see load management all of a sudden become a topic of conversation because that's really what the Dodgers did.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Speaking of CBA, I was fascinated. This is probably about a week ago. You were on a sporting class and you got a lot of heat for what you talked about the WNBA CBA. Yeah, people are mad at you. Oh, dang, that was crazy. People just don't get it, but that's okay. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:16:23 But I, this is one of those times I'm like, yeah, I agree with David. I feel like the WNBA is experiencing this massive explosion in fandom, which is awesome. But it's a fandom that is not familiar with some mechanics of professional sports. And one of them is collective bargaining agreement negotiations. And this idea that, you know, they could just walk in.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Well, the man get 50%. We get to 50%. I'm like, that's not how negotiations work. Like in some way, David, I don't think they understand that the men and women who are negotiating in that boardroom don't care about winning. Twitter and threads. It's a funny thing. They care about money. And it's like, I'm not just going to give you money, but oh, it's a little
Starting point is 00:17:12 embarrassing for me every time I open up this app. Am I, are we just cynics, David, or what's happening here? Well, no, people got angry because they thought that I made up the fact that the women were asking for the same percentage of revenue that the men were asking for. And I got that
Starting point is 00:17:28 from the people who are negotiating. And Pablo actually came out and tweeted. And tweeted the passage that showed where I got my information from. And here's what I was trying to explain to the people who believe this is the moment for the WMBA and the women who believe the same thing. This is not your moment. Here's what it's your moment to do, not get where the NBA is because you're ignoring
Starting point is 00:17:54 the reality of the WMBA's finances. Forget expansion fees. Forget Caitlin Clark. The reality is the WNBA is not in even remote. close to the same position as the NBA and therefore there will not be the same CBA. However, what the women have the ability to do that I would argue the men do not, the women have the opportunity to just leave. 86% of the players in the W.A. NBA are free agents.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Do me a favor. Go join Maverick Carter. Go to Plan B. It may not be called Plan B. That's a thing for after. dating. I can't believe I just got that wrong. It's called something like Plan B. I don't know why that's... Second option, Dave. Second option. David, it doesn't even matter what they go to because you've got the European leagues where many of them make the majority of their money. You've got China. You've got the...
Starting point is 00:18:53 Unrivaled. You have a plethora of options that unlike would it happen to the NBA where we'd say those other options don't pay as well. These options all pay better. So I don't understand the whole concept. And you saw a player just today. And now, of course, please help me. I forgot the name of the player. And I forgot the name of the league. But it is Maverick Carter's Women's League that he's starting, where she's a former MVP and she announced that she's going to go play for this league. What the WNBA needs to decide right now is and both the players and management is are we an entity that has the ability to continue to grow and continue on a path which they've never been on they've never proven that they can be successful either on the court or off the court is this the time where the wmba says that we can be a going
Starting point is 00:19:50 concern number one and number two we can be the best in the world because that's what major league baseball is that's what the NFL is that's what the NBA is that's what the NHL is WMBA is not that in order to do that it's more than just paying the players more it is the question of is the concept of women's professional basketball is that the possibility of only having a monopoly of one major league which pays the most and what's proven over the last two and a half decades No. The player is Nekha Gumaque. She is the sister of Cheneo Gumaque, who's on ESPN a lot.
Starting point is 00:20:32 And NECA is signed with the league is called Project V. Project B. So I was thinking Project X, which is another movie that Zaz hasn't seen. You've never seen Project X? I've seen that. It's from Michael Jordan. No. That's the one won't Michael be Jordan?
Starting point is 00:20:49 Matthew Broderick? I thought it was Matthew Broderick, but I could be wrong. Oh. That's the thing where, we're, Buddy has a house party and then his family. That's what I'm thinking. Michael B. Jordan's in that? Yeah, what's that movie called?
Starting point is 00:21:00 Project X. He's not in that movie. Miles Teller is. Miles Teller is in that movie. And Michael B. Jordan. My man, Dax Flame is in that movie. Shout out to him. Roy, what am I thinking of? Am I having a moment here?
Starting point is 00:21:11 You're thinking of the Matthew Broderick movie that involves a war games? No, no. There's a Project X movie with Matthew Broderick. Thank you. I feel way better right now. Speaking of movie. he's as you know about no time to die.
Starting point is 00:21:28 James Bond is left active service. His piece is short-lived when Felix Lighter an old friend from the CIA turns up asking for help, leading Bond into a trail of mysterious villains armed with dangerous new technology. I think you're screwing him, Tony. I think you ought to be reading about for your eyes only. You ought to be telling him about Christopher walking.
Starting point is 00:21:47 You ought to be telling him about Grace Jones. That's a view to a kill. Yeah. Great song, too. Oh, yeah, Duran Duran Duran. Duran, Duran, Duran. What do you know about Duran Duran? I know about Duran Duran Duran.
Starting point is 00:21:58 You do? Yeah. Can you name two members of the Duran Duran Duran band? Yeah. Duran and Duran. Roberto Duran and Jalen Duren. But Tony, tell Roy, just in case. Just in case what?
Starting point is 00:22:10 In case he doesn't know. Duran and Duran. Keep moving. Dujo put it on the poll. Can you name two members from Duran Duran? Wait, can you name one member of Duran Duran? This is impossible to believe that no one's going to come up with Nick Rhodes or Simon LeBahn. Is it really?
Starting point is 00:22:25 possible. Yes. I would guess Mike, I would have, if I had to bet money, I would say, Simon Labone. Where's Duran?
Starting point is 00:22:32 Where's Duran? There is no Duran and Duran Duran Duran. What? Then who's Duran? It's just Duran Duran. False advertising. Great way to make people believe that you knew all along is just say a name in the tone of Paul Ryan.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Simon LeBone. Kevin Duran. Kevin Duran. David. Chris Greer got fired. You believe that it's a move, but it's not the move. What's that mean? What's that mean?
Starting point is 00:23:02 Oh, thank you for letting me talk about the dolphins on your non-local hour because Stephen Ross was under so much pressure as an owner because on this show, I believe I posited that he's the worst owner in the history of South Florida. Really? And that's saying something given where ownership has been in South Florida. He hasn't won one playoff game in the 18 years that he's on the team. not one not one but he has created a ton of value using public money mike ryan plenty of public
Starting point is 00:23:34 money that he has used to build his fiefdom out there near wainsworld with f1 and tennis and all the other stuff he's done plenty of public money even though people don't talk about it so the team stinks over and over again poorly spend money unable to find a way to get something together what do you do you have a GM and a coach both of them need to go the coach is lost you go to his press conferences you speak to local media who are going there and looking at him and listening to him the guy sounds like a babbling idiot and that's what happens when you come off as quirky when you haven't yet proven whether or not you're great and then once you're not great the quirkiness becomes babbling idiocy and that's where mcdaniel is so the question is why would you
Starting point is 00:24:22 get rid of Greer and not McDaniel because you're in the middle of a season where something good might happen? No, the Dolphin season is over. Because you still believe that McDaniel has the locker room? Who cares? It's so overrated. He doesn't have the locker room because they're not winning. My view is you do a clean sweep and you show your fan base that you are going to bring in a Bill Parcells type. You're going to bring in someone and give them total control over all football operations from start to finish including coach drafts everything the problem is stephen ross may be pushing up dazes i'm not wishing but he's not young and so does he not have time for what is required other than what the dolphins do which is get mired in mediocrity is it possible he doesn't feel
Starting point is 00:25:09 he has the time for a complete redo because what firing chris greer was was like you know putting a Band-Aid on a, you know, three-inch, three-deep cut. Dan Lebatard. Taitas. Stugats. Taitas. This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats. We got Mike McDaniel's latest press availability this here.
Starting point is 00:25:38 They've beaten us because they've scored more points and done the right football things longer than we have in those games. um that that we lost uh you know i think that that's the measure of a good um football team is being able to win you know particularly there's been a couple one score games i like sitting right here as of late i don't think i want to do this you know what i have they kind of like it's critical stutter his way to this excuse me a man no this is your uh play this in getmo wish you could have them back this is fourth quarter no we can't um anticipating that we know where it's Fade it down. I can't do that.
Starting point is 00:26:19 What do you know about good one? I was told that that was a seven-minute clip. I can't do it. You know what he looks like when he's talking right there. He looks like you talking about the canes the other day. Zero eye contact with anybody. But the head is moving so much. It's tough.
Starting point is 00:26:33 As someone that also is well known across this great land as being a face of a program. Monday was tough. I'll tell you. Can you imagine that's, because that's how. he sounds. That's how he sounded from the day he got here. Can you imagine if this, the bad team, was the first couple
Starting point is 00:26:54 years that he was here, as opposed to them doing the winning. Like, how do you survive sounding like this? You don't. They teach you in law school when you are presenting to the jury or to a judge that it's okay to be silent and people use
Starting point is 00:27:10 uh and um as verbal crutches and it's unbelievably difficult to listen to. And, and And the coach of the Dolphins is the number one guy with the, it's brutal. I'm curious, which law school did you go to, David? I went to Yeshiva University, Cardozo, Benjamin and Cardozo School of Law. That's not a real school. Benjamin Cardozo is a high school.
Starting point is 00:27:35 It's a high school in New York. That's what skipped to my little letter. Benjamin Cardoza High School, man. Shout out to Mike Rayford. I just said it's not a real law school. Is that you, Mike? Yeah, it doesn't sound like one. I don't know that fool
Starting point is 00:27:48 What movie are you viewing for us today, David? So I went to a theater. First time I've been to a theater since COVID Because I needed to see one battle after another. I mean, don't you want to support movies? You haven't been to a theater since COVID? Oh, I support movies. I spend 1999 and I get movies when they're streaming.
Starting point is 00:28:11 I'm going to do it this weekend. I'm going to do plenty of That is Cardoza School of Law New York. city and you can actually go through for those of you not watching on the dan lebitard youtube channel there are tremendously you can look i was even chairman of the board of this but there are amazing rankings of things that we do clinics uh the innocence projects with barry sheck started there mike ryan that is where dna is used to clear people unjustly uh in prison i'm sorry i didn't know barry sheck was affiliated you know about that innocence project that is my that is my mistake
Starting point is 00:28:44 Barre shit. Just so you know, Enron has a website. Do you crazy things these days? Yeah, there's like a fake Enron that's like a whole like, I was trying to make a point. And the point is like, what are my favorite things? I remember in business school that said,
Starting point is 00:28:57 we should have known that they were crooked because their logo was a crooked E. And like, oh shit, it's right in front of us. It was right in front of us. No, but David, you said one battle after another. You saw it in the theater, right? So I did go to a theater. And I was struck by two things.
Starting point is 00:29:14 one, I was able to sit through two hours and 41 minutes, no phone, no eating, and no talking of any kind, no distraction, and it's a long movie. Now, I did purposefully choose a theater that have those seats that reclined. That was important to me because I didn't think I could sit in a regular folding chair for two hours and 40 minutes, because why? And I was taken. Yeah, what theaters don't have the stadium seating? Everyone's got. the recliner not everybody that is not accurate there's a couple of them out there not in new york at least so what this movie did is it got me from the first minute the opening scene of this movie and i think people underestimate you've got like three minutes in this day and age
Starting point is 00:30:01 and james bond is one of the great examples the opening of james bond movies you're done you're hooked it is set right before he comes on and shoots the eye blood you've got yourself an action movie the spoiler of the intro to a james bond movie no there's no spoilers so this is a movie that there is some obvious political parts to this movie it is about a group of people who are trying to create havoc and they create havoc in illegal ways and they create havoc in illegal ways and they create havoc due to certain policies that they do not agree with i am not in favor of people who are willing to sacrifice their freedom because there are better ways to accomplish what you're trying to accomplish but leonard decaprio plays the part of someone who gets caught up in doing things that are against the
Starting point is 00:30:58 law has to go into hiding and ends up having to take care of a child and it is a perfectly made movie that has a chance, I mean, to give Paul Thomas Anderson an Oscar. That's how good I think it is now. There's a lot coming out. This is the time of year. This is right now the greatness. Right. From now until the end of December, we are about to see some amazing movies in terms of Oscars getting ready for the March ceremony. However, this movie is going to be nominated for best picture i believe leonard decaprio has a very good chance for another oscar nomination and maybe even an oscar victory that's how good he was but i there are a lot of performances left to see but if you can get past sort of the political side where this day and age people can't get past
Starting point is 00:31:52 it because they take a position and then close their ears and close their brain if you can get past that the movie itself is phenomenal james bond willingly inserts himself into an assassin's plot involving a naive Russian beauty in order to retrieve a Soviet encryption device that was stolen by the evil specter organization from Russia with love. That sounds good. He inserts himself into a couple things. Hey. On James.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Nothing personal with David Samson is the show. Thank you, David, for joining us. Thank you guys very much. Awesome. Guys, it's time for me to issue an apology for something I said on these very airwaves this week. Earlier this week, where's my camera right here? Earlier this week, here's my camera, my one shot, thank you. Earlier this week, I said some rude and disparaging remarks
Starting point is 00:32:41 about a particular app that swept the nation named SORA. I said it was cheap and poorly done, and none of the videos ever came out good. I thought I provided multiple examples of such cheapitude. Then this morning, I discovered I was wrong because I saw something made on Sora that maybe completely changed my mind. All right. So you guys know about this whole Jalen Brown thing that's been happening, right?
Starting point is 00:33:06 Yep. Jailen Brown runs into somebody O.G. Ananovi. Kijon George, and like his hairline rubbed off on them. Yeah. Someone made this on Sora. Oh, nice. This fall, Disney and Pixar present a story about a man who couldn't help to rub off on others. You just get pain on me?
Starting point is 00:33:29 Bro, that's all my jersey. Jalen? My bad. Maybe it's time to accept. Except who you really are. I know if I'm ready for it. Yo, is that? Hair dye?
Starting point is 00:33:35 Receding. I was wrong. I told you. You guys say, me never admits when he's wrong. I was wrong, man. It happened again last night. It happened again last night.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Yep. Celtics at Wizards. Got his hair all over, Buddy's Jersey. A hair, I mean. Well, it's not hair. He wants you to believe it's hair. Why?
Starting point is 00:33:54 I don't know. First of all, I feel like, first of all, there are a lot of options. I know I'm privy to some of them where it's like they don't rub off. It's not just the regular Beijing. There's stuff that you can put in there, and it stays, and it's waterproof. He's got that party city.
Starting point is 00:34:08 He's got that party city. I don't know what's going on there. But number two, Jalen Brown, you had a whole summer. Go to Turkey, go to Colombia. Hell, they do it here, albeit way more expensive. You got the money? You got the money you can make that junk happen, man. Zaz, you're bald?
Starting point is 00:34:24 You're bald. Did you ever thought about that? A little turkey trip? No. What if someone said, I'm a generous benefactor? Yeah, you did radio for quite some time. I'm sure you got some proposals. Oh, well, I mean, yeah, no, I did stuff one time.
Starting point is 00:34:39 I didn't do anything involved with turkey, all right? What was the thing that you did? Yeah, yeah, what was it called? What was it like a temporary? Yeah, so you rub the shaving cream, you know? You rub the cream on your head. It didn't work. Well, that's what I'm saying, Zaz.
Starting point is 00:34:53 What was your promo code? Zazz. Probably Zas. Yeah. I went to Miami Subsgrade one time, and I said Zaslo sent me. Oh, yeah. I used to have a good buffalo chicken. There it is.
Starting point is 00:35:04 That's the head. Look at that right there. Zazlo's Buffalo Chicken, Philly. 529. What a deal. Yeah, that'd be $20 today. I don't know. Terrace.
Starting point is 00:35:15 It's not our fold. How about that? Look at that sandwich right there. During the photo shoot there, I mean. Is that a soda, by the way? I don't know. I didn't drink because I don't drink soda. But during the photo shoot, you know, we're coming up with all different kinds of ways for me to pose, whatever.
Starting point is 00:35:31 They wanted me to hold the sub up like this. And you're like, I'm not doing that. We're not doing that. You knew that SORO would exist one day. Dangerous game. Look at you, fresh-faced, not yet broken by Len Weiner. Her mornings. I was doing mornings at the time.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Zaz, again, generous benefactor comes down and says Jonathan Zaslow. I would like to fund your hair restoration process. Would you do that? if someone promise you like is it a cream or I'm doing one of the operations we have this new partner say draft king's comes up to you we have we have this new partner here my name is the draft king it's a hair restoration I'll fly you to turkey will fly you first class a whole new skull five star hotel the best dining you've ever had I'll be honest with no soda I'm totally cool with how I look like I'm totally cool with yeah you look great yeah but what if you had hair
Starting point is 00:36:24 if you had hair yeah but but you know what then I got to explain to everybody like everybody would be laughing. Oh, you did an operation. Come on. No one's laughing at that. No, no one's laughing at these operations. Oh, he did it. Like, everyone's excited. The code is just be honest with it. Yeah. Now, Landon Donovan looks ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:36:41 His didn't work. I mean, have you seen the most recent one? Well, yeah. He's like, now he's like, should I shave it? It's just a system now. He did a whole, like, Instagram series on like, I think I should, should I come home and stuff? And all these people, Charlie Davies and all these guys, like, come on with it. go. People have been open and honest about it. Joe Buck has been honest about it. And, I mean, I think his hair looks better now than it did before. And no one's like, that guy got hair transplanted.
Starting point is 00:37:07 It's when you try to be cute with him. No, but I can't just all of a sudden have a head of hair. Mike? Yes, you can. Hold on. Mike, I'm going to put, there's a dividing line. There's the befores and the afters. Joe Buck and these guys all did like the old technology that would. Yeah. Oh, now it's way better. Now it's way better. You look at like what, Matthew McConaughey or Ryan Reynolds? He still says that he hasn't gotten a hair transplant. Ryan Reynolds? Ryan Reynolds hasn't come out and said that, but he definitely got out. That's the guy from Kingsman. What's his name?
Starting point is 00:37:36 Oh, my God. Tarynne Egerton. Yeah. You know about that Terry Nettleton? Yeah, I like Kingsman. You watch Kingsman and not? Yeah, those movies are good. I mean, it's based on Bond.
Starting point is 00:37:45 It's all derivative of James Bond. So you tell me I don't need to see Bond? Did you watch Austin Powers? Did you watch Austin Powers? Yes. Did you get the jokes? Did you get the spoof? I'm realizing now that I probably didn't get all the jokes.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Oh, look at Landon Donovan. As long as you're honest, with the rare exception of Landon Donovan, as long as you're open and honest in front with the people on social media, I'm not trying to pull one over on you. He's honest. I'm not trying to get one. Yeah, but that one just looks especially ridiculous because we've just known them for so long. I mean, he burst on the scene in 2002. I don't support this. I'm going to say this right now.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Well, what don't you support about that? So what he did is because he tried implants. The implants didn't work. so he's doing the hair system which is basically you see on the left he's got the fine bomb they shave it down they put glue on the top of his head and then they take someone else's hair
Starting point is 00:38:35 and they stick it on top and then they style it isn't it just a piece yeah but it's glued to the top of your head oh it's one of those deals yeah but be up front if you have a system like no one you're not trying to get one over on folks that's where you get made fun
Starting point is 00:38:50 I definitely would not do that's where you're like Bill self that's where you're like I don't know why I'm afraid to say rabbi does it but you know like don't do it don't do it there was one moment there was a video where like he had to duck because a foul ball was it was coming at him i'm like this would have been the funniest way to find out the hair was still up here but he's down so that jonathan zaslow you will not take up my generous offer do i have to go to turkey it will fly you first class in one of that's why they say go to turkey then first class international is not like them chairs you
