Starting point is 00:00:34 To start watching, head to hayu.com. Welcome to the Big Sui, 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, that if they're just there.
Starting point is 00:01:02 That hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it. And now here's the marching band to nowhere that face and the habitual liar. But let's get back also to the persecution complex because Jessica I see you roll your eyes and you have to understand that Mike Ryan being a part of the University of Miami's invention of, we have a persecution complex, but we are also persecuted. We see these alignments everywhere. Mike Ryan is yelling about, how can the league and the media and everyone conspire to do
Starting point is 00:01:39 Portland's bidding nationally in the reporting and everything else? Every podcast he listens to, so he has a persecution complex already and he turns it into everyone is out to get us at everyone is conspiring together to screw the Miami Heat. It is a great narrative to to have if you're a sports fan because I think I think a lot of sports teams like want to have that there's a target on our back thing because then it makes it more satisfying when you can turn it into like,
Starting point is 00:02:08 not only are we playing in game on the field, but all of these systems in place are designed to make us lose. And we have persevered through all of it. And now Milwaukee's plus 390 on draft kings to win the NBA championship. And it remains to be seen if what they're going to get for Drew Holiday.
Starting point is 00:02:25 It might end up being the better offer. We don't really know Miami's offer. Whereas like you said, and none of those things mean that there is any big conspiracy theory to make Miami bad. What they said about our team, what they said about our team, I cannot believe. It's Miami versus everybody.
Starting point is 00:02:43 And it's always been. Always has been. Miami versus everybody. And it's always been. Always has been. Miami versus everybody. That's right. What were the odds before they became plus 390 on... I know, the internet doesn't work. I'm looking for it. No, but the reason I asked the question is because I think,
Starting point is 00:02:56 I don't think that we would have gone into next season, the way the bucks were built. Quick, Google Drive King Sportsbook, but yesterday. Saying Milwaukee was a favorite. I don't think that the betting money would have landed on Milwaukee as it was constituted. It would have been one of the favorites, one of the contenders, but I would assume that Denver would have better odds and that Phoenix would have the better odds. And so I'm asking how much the line changed on that because I think it's relevant that
Starting point is 00:03:29 as we talk about this, the laughter at Miami and at us seems to be louder than whatever the objection would usually be to a super team being built because Janus is good enough to beat it without, beat everybody without Damien Lillard's help. They were in the plus 650 range somewhere on Jaffe King's Sportsbook, right? built because Janice is good enough to beat it without beat everybody without Damien Lillard's help. They were in the plus 650 range somewhere on draft King sports book right sandwich between the Celtics the Suns and the Lakers of plus 1200 the heat dropped all the way to plus 2800. You're on while you can. My honest question like how do the heat spin this now like when you're having struggles
Starting point is 00:04:07 We'll find out the games into the season. We'll find out from Dan Tyler here a better play well I mean he better be a piece the heat did this to him They put a lot of pressure on him this season. I say that kind of jokingly better play well. Yeah, Joe. It's better be Luca Why are you calling Drew holiday a course? Look at his three point percentage over the last comes from those seasons compared to Lillard's. Is that a real thing because I almost fell out of my chair when I saw
Starting point is 00:04:40 Wode's list the the teams that might be interested and drew holiday services. He's messing with us now. And he mentioned the heat. Are you kidding me? No, no, we're never making a deal. Ever. X Communicado. That is a, that would be amazing,
Starting point is 00:04:55 because then you're gonna have to talk about how awesome that whole thing is. If we give up Hero for holiday. I am waiting for that. No. It is fairly amazing that nobody knows accurately what the offer was, though, right? Like if Portland, if Portland, I mean, Shams had reported previously and it's being re-aggregated that you can make the, you can draw the conclusion that maybe Portland wasn't
Starting point is 00:05:21 ever really serious about this because they'd led their calls with, all right, Jimmy Butler or Bayamata Bio coming back to us. And that's something that you actually mentioned that it was met with laughter over across this street. We don't know what the offer could have been because they weren't talking over the last few months and there in lies the problem because you finally had the superstar do all the things
Starting point is 00:05:40 and you didn't do all the things yourself. You didn't. You approached it with arrogance thinking like, all the things and you didn't do all the things yourself. You didn't. You you you you approach it with arrogance thinking like, okay, if there is someone that could possibly top this and there might very likely not be, they'll come back and circle the wagons with us. But no, we made it personal apparently. Or I like Tony's theory that this was a plan all along. I the persecution complex. The this is it has been, Tony, you can speak to this just in general walking around being loud and brown, being somebody who has a lot of
Starting point is 00:06:15 confidence. In general, I think that the country doesn't particularly like Miami, right? 100%, 100%. And sometimes when you walk around loud and brown and just people are versed to your position at all times, right, there's things that you say and they're like, yeah, no, you're an idiot. And there's something that behind the scenes here,
Starting point is 00:06:37 I brought up like three months ago, all of a sudden, Ryan Rissillo says that on his podcast is the greatest thing of all time. When I said it here, I got laughed at. Hold on, Mike, what's on your phone? What are you looking at? Jeremy handed me the latest from Shams. It's, quote, for their part, League of Sources say the heat were prepared in July and August
Starting point is 00:06:54 to offer up to three first round draft picks with Tyler Hero going to a third team. And multiple second rounders and swaps along with expiring contracts and 2022 first round draft pick, Nikola Yovic, but the blazers were disinterested with each side developing a level of contentiousness. That's a better, that's a better trade than what they got. It's a way better trade. Jovich was spectacular this summer. They get three first round draft picks in which all they got back was one from Milwaukee, which will probably be in the 20s at best, and they're hinging their hopes on not having any leverage with Drew Holiday to kind of recoup that.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Miami's offers better. And if that Shoms report, and this could all, by the way, there's an agenda behind this. It benefits Miami to put this out there. We don't actually know if this is accurate. You can question that, but Sh's is pretty good at it. I mean, I think it's debatable whether the offers are better. Like I think he fans are doing this thing of like,
Starting point is 00:07:50 this was clearly the best offer and clearly it wasn't. It's fair because DeAndre Aiton, if you look at what he's accomplished in the lead, you're coming away with a player, a finished product in DeAndre Aiton. And if you go by counting stats and you take out the whispers around Phoenix, you're probably touting that is way better than something unproven like you. Hold on a hold on a second though Chris when you say Mike says it's a better offer and
Starting point is 00:08:15 you say well clearly it wasn't. If I'm throwing in the variable of anger, spite, pity and all the macro I'm giving you on relationship between Lillard and the organization and the organization saying, no, you don't have the power here. You're under contract. Furthermore, the league is going to put out an edict. You and your agent and everyone comes after you. You're going to stop doing that where you take the organization that you have a relationship with and you tell them that it's you and Miami and only Miami and now you've nuked our ability
Starting point is 00:08:44 to create a market if you say Chris Cody. Clearly it wasn't a better offer. But I tell you, it seems to me, based on the questions I'm asking, if the heat aren't getting information, it seems to me that Portland was hell bent on, we will take the best offer that's not with this team
Starting point is 00:09:04 that did this to us with our best player. Probably stop telling people just get close. Hey, if you can get close to this offer, he's yours. An important piece of that sham's report that we shouldn't just gloss over is the ability to bring in a third team because Phoenix was desperate to get out from that eight in contract and all that was the deandre eight in experience. They could have very well been the third team. And if you're touting that acquisition, we never know because Tyler here would have would have been according to that report would have been going somewhere else. Chris Cody's shaking his head said he wanted to be positive today.
Starting point is 00:09:38 He wanted to laugh at the come all over the place. I like want the heat fans that perspective. I want I want to know if Caleb Martin was really the big hold up here. Like I do want to know from the heat perspective who they weren't willing to give up because I was probably willing to give that guy up Like I would give I for me if you're starting with Butler Bam and Dame You get rid of the rest of them. We'll figure the rest out Like if this was over Caleb Martin like I get he's a nice player, but that's like I we're never gonna know that though So here we go.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Maybe we will. Let's instead hear all the ways we got it wrong. The The Liller to Miami is done. Rejoice. Get those number zero jerseys ready. It's not because they're trying to create the space
Starting point is 00:10:23 to get Lillard because they know they've got Lillard. That this is done, that this is essentially done and all that needs to be happened now is the agents have to agree to a couple more things. Nobody will actually want to acquire a SOR that's going to come in and immediately make a mess of things. And the reality of this conversation is, there is no conversation. There's one offer out there, and it's for Tyler Hero, and he's a good enough player alongside the bevy of first round picks that will be offered, and the other types of money that will fill in. That this will be a great deal. There would be no argument for any other franchise to get a great player like Damien Lillard for this type of deal anywhere but Miami. It's Miami, and there is no wiggle room there. Thank you for bringing up woke But he's had bad looks well the heat know that he is just a gender-based Shilling and bought and paid for by Portland like it's embarrassing
Starting point is 00:11:13 It leverage Portland like nothing that wold right is gonna change the offer the offers the offers the best one You're gonna get from Miami and they think it's the best one you're gonna get. The offer is hero and heroes the best one you're gonna get from anybody. He's better than Maxi, he's the best you're gonna get. Your box stand, Lillard wants to be with us. So once you apply reason to it, no one can come up with anything better. I'm stunned by the mask being taken off of Vogue this way in a way that the heater like, yeah, you're just writing for Portland. Like, that's not journalism.
Starting point is 00:11:45 That's not journalism. Didn't this just happen to Shephard not that long ago though? Like this journalism wing is not quite what it was in the information game. Like that part is completely different and those guys might be capable of doing some journalism but the information game at this point is not journalism. What he is engaging in is protecting one of his closest
Starting point is 00:12:03 sources by giving them cover by saying, well, there's no way he's gonna go to Miami. So, poppycock. James Lillard wants to leave here. And if you want to walk him walking, why are you leaving? Are gonna get James Lillard. Some some don't dance, and they don't dance. They don't go home, no they don't. And some don't dance.
Starting point is 00:12:32 And they don't go home. Jessica won a championship yesterday. What's behind a life electrified? What's lighting up our communities?

Ontario Power Generation is shaping the clean energy future by investing in Ontario and electrifying life every day. See how at opg.com.
Starting point is 00:13:17 We are crazed right now. You are a fed and crazy. What are you guys? Shoot-gots is a lie. I'm not saying. You're crazed right now. You are a vet in prison. What are you guys? Shoot God's is alive. I'm not saying. He's keeping this act over there. Jets has been writing the entire time about the Miami Heat. And a mean here is getting buried by heat nation.
Starting point is 00:13:32 He's been telling you, he's been keeping. You're praising screws. He was all for nice. He was kidding. What is that? What are we doing? When screws go to the cup, he's looking to lay it up. He's not looking to turn it over like Duncan Robinson is
Starting point is 00:13:45 Duncan Robinson is a coward Listen, listen, it's a coward Stugats, Chris? A coward Bam can be bam in DC. I am dumb with him And Kyle Lowry's one of the worst postseason players in the history of the NBA This is the Dan Lebathar show with a Stugat Let's go with this two cats! I'm waiting for the day when Lebitarge says Miami heap management was wrong. I want Lillard, I want them to get all of the great players for my content factory. I also trust them to properly assign value to the things in their organization better than I can do it.
Starting point is 00:14:41 It doesn't mean that they get it right all the time. It doesn't mean that they don't make mistakes. But I really don't know when the second week of the season, a Boston radio host was calling for the firing of Bill Belicek. I'm like, you guys have seen what Pat Riley has done with his team through very many rosters. He's clearly pretty good at what he does. You want to criticize him on these things and think you know more than him? Okay, I'd prefer to have Lillard. I would have given plenty to get Lillard, but at what point do you trust an organization to properly assign value to its business
Starting point is 00:15:15 better than you can do it? Like, I understand your mad. I understand you want the guy and you certainly don't want your hopes inflated and then you don't get the guy. But I don't know that there is a media member that is qualified to spend a lot of time criticizing Bill Belichick. It just, what your resume is or what you know about the sport or how it is he does what he does.
Starting point is 00:15:36 There are just certain people who are good enough at their craft that I'm like, okay, I'll criticize you here and there on the things that I can criticize, John, but you're better at that than anyone I know is at that with different rosters. And I do wonder if that neuters just all media criticism. If you lend to people, yeah, Mike Tomlin knows more about football than you do in every single way. And maybe it doesn't mean it doesn't make
Starting point is 00:16:03 gay management mistakes, doesn't mean that in the heat of the moment, there aren't all sorts of bad decisions to get made. But people get things wrong all the time. Everybody passed on Tom Brady in the draft. It's almost like saying players are trash. It's like, oh, that guy's trash. And it's like, oh, no, well, he's better than you would ever be in your wildest dreams.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Like, you can't really have an avid and just say somebody's garbage. Do you guys watch the show reservation, dogs? No. It's a great show. There's an episode in season three where one of the older characters is trying to connect with one of the younger characters and she's asking her how she felt
Starting point is 00:16:32 when she was six years old. And she's like, I feel the same now. Nothing changes. You get older and you just carry more baggage with you. There's not like a magical day where you wake up and you know everything and you feel like you're suddenly equipped to handle what's in front of you, right?
Starting point is 00:16:46 Like we're all just floating around here, Dan. And we can criticize Bill Bell check in Mike Tomlin, even though we don't have the experience that they have coaching NFL teams. We can criticize Pat Riley. We can criticize whoever the hell we want. That's what we do in the media. And there's no like magical like hurdle that you have to jump over that makes you qualified to criticize someone else. Just be fair about it. I think that's a general good tenant. And I think we have been incredibly fair today laughing at the Miami heat's pain.
Starting point is 00:17:13 It is, it fair is different for everybody though, right? Fair fair. The spot that fairness gets decided that is not a universal thing. I understand what you're saying that we in the media can criticize anybody, but when the level of expertise is so large, between guy sitting on his couch, guy at a microphone, or person who has real expertise, I asked the question just of the audience, when is it okay for someone in New England
Starting point is 00:17:42 to raise their finger and say, bill Belichek should be fired or should Bill Bella check Go out however the hell he wants the next few years at some point he's gonna get to old popovich Is how close to 80 is popovich at this point like But I wouldn't say that the game Let's look at what just happened to Sean Peyton you sign for a ton of money because you're the guy who knows more than everyone else. And the new hot shot kid scores 70 on ya. I don't know that the game passed Sean Payton by,
Starting point is 00:18:13 but certainly on Sunday I had no evidence that he had any way of stopping whatever it is. The other coach had assembled on the other side line. When you get the result that is disappointing, it's gonna result in the criticism. But if I'm not running a business that assigns value to things and they assign this value to Damien Lillard, who am I to say you've got to get Damien Lillard at all costs when two or three years from now, no one's going to remember that contract is on the books and
Starting point is 00:18:42 he's not as good anymore. I know the question I'm asking you doesn't allow for any criticism of people with expertise. I'm just saying, what would you like me to say here? If I don't know what the offer actually was and Portland wasn't dealing with Miami, what do you want me to say about what Pat Riley didn't do when Damien Lillard's agent is saying they did everything they could in Miami. It's not their fault. I think you're also, you're asking how much you should trust what your sports organization
Starting point is 00:19:13 is telling you, right? Like, if you implicitly trust like Bill Belichack has a greater plan and he knows what he's doing, even when he makes these mistakes and he loses games and he he drafts Mac Jones and doesn't get a ton of skill position players that can support Mac Jones like you trust that there's a greater plan eventually though your trust runs out and you decide it's time for this guy to go and I think that is not I don't I think Miami fans should trust the Miami heat to an extent because they have delivered tons of great players to championships to the city. And the question
Starting point is 00:19:48 is more so like when does that run out? But does not getting Damien Lillard? Is that going to evaporate years of trust that you've built? This is my question to you because Mike Ryan is somebody who very badly
Starting point is 00:20:00 wants to have the winning hand here and sports fans. The standard that Pat Riley has created in this market is that. And when I sit here and tell you that in very few realms, anywhere in my life have I found any kind of expertise that even vaguely resembles how this man builds an organization that is always winning, whether it's in Los Angeles, New York, or Miami. I put down my sword on, dude, you know a lot more than me about all of this, like not a little bit more. I've spent my life in sports.
Starting point is 00:20:39 My entire life, I've studied it. I care. You know so much more about the building of what this is and have so many different experience over seven, goddamn decades, winning championships that I'm like, or six decades, he's won in six different decades and I'm like, okay, if you say that I trust you to know what you're doing, like I just, I trust that you know how to build an organization correctly. I would love to hear. I'm transparently tell us what went on here, but I think fans
Starting point is 00:21:10 be it emotionally can can rightfully criticize this franchise because it's a franchise that absolutely traffics in an identity. They have more of an identity than anybody in the sport. He culture. Yeah, I'm the godfather. I'll throw my rings on the table. We get the whales. I will openly talk about it and my post-season press conferences. And when they come up empty, time and time and time and time and time and time again, you can criticize them
Starting point is 00:21:37 because they have raised the expectations here. The standard is different for the Miami Heat fans responding kind. What if I told you though that the mythology building around all of these great sports legends or such that the way they run their business is under the umbrella of all that stuff you talk about that annoys everybody else and it serves the organization in every way to have it look like the reason they get all the whales is Pat Riley, but that their general manager puts in front of all of these money people.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Do you realize you'll be saving $26 million in taxes if you play in Miami instead of other places and that what Miami has is a climate and money advantage there. But it doesn't when it comes ownership. It doesn't, like because they don't wanna go after Bradley Beal, the Phoenix Sons, they realize their window is right now. That's fair. The luxury cap tax criticism is a fair criticism if you believe that your organization deserves to win
Starting point is 00:22:43 and you want your owner to spend all of the money and get all of the players, but I understand running a business on the other side of that too. No, yeah, we got to feel bad for the the billionaire owners. I get it, but I think it's it's totally fair to recognize what happened in the NBA finals. Look, he Jimmy Butler's earned a lot. Remember, you said the finals. Yeah, no, I made it to the finals. And Jimmy Butler fell off for whatever reason in that finals. He had a really, really, really, really bad finals. And he kind of skated on criticism for it because of how tremendous of a postseason player, even within that postseason, he was historical upsets and whatnot.
Starting point is 00:23:21 But he's 34 years old. And the last we saw him, it wasn't pretty. And if we're projecting that, we can see a window shrinking. A lot of people saw the window close yesterday. A lot of people delighted in seeing a window. That's what I'm reconciling with. That's part of my frustration because I can never predict
Starting point is 00:23:37 who the next disgruntled superstar is gonna be outside of James Harden. And I don't, you never know. It's a crazy sport. it's a crazy sport. It's a crazy sport. We're all of a sudden, Luka has some inner strife with a Mavericks and then who knows he's available, but it's, it's not, I don't think,
Starting point is 00:23:54 I don't believe that to be plausible. Who knows, maybe the Phoenix experiment isn't going well and they realize we have to get rid of them and you can jump on someone, basketball's funny like that, but I do feel like a window did close on the Miami Heat and that's frustrating because you're going to talk about this window. What could have been Jimmy Butler had these great performances in the postseason. He's become a meme being exhausted inside the bubble. He's done so much and I would really love to see the organization give him somebody else. Someone like Damien Lillard, someone who will physically take the ball away
Starting point is 00:24:26 and shine in those moments. I am so all over the place on this. Just as Mike talks, I'm arguing with him, and then I start agreeing. I'm mad at Pat Riley, but I want to have perspective because I disagree with we don't get anyone because we've gotten a ton of great players throughout the year, so I'm just a mess right now.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Because it was at Caleb Martin. Is that the reason we didn't do it? You're, you're so mad. But also, at Caleb Martin, he's in every game. He's trying to get everywhere. And I want him to have, okay, this is our price and we won't go above it. So I think just fair, I think it's fair to criticize this
Starting point is 00:24:57 pursuit, Chris, when, when you have a superstar, the ilk of Damien Lillard, do what he did. And you go months without talking to the other team, you can put the blame on the other team. But the fact that the desperation wasn't there because of the window. How do you know the desperation's not there? If nobody answers your phone,
Starting point is 00:25:16 and you don't, are they gonna hear your desperation? That's bad news, you can hold on. That's bad news. If I haven't- Don't be listening to messages anymore. We'll keep- We'll keep you everything. Pat Riley can hop on IG and look at the stories
Starting point is 00:25:27 and do like the smiley reactions. There are ways of getting people's attention. As if we know. Nope, nope. You guys are reading this all wrong. If you're in a relationship with somebody, you're trying to be in a relationship with somebody and you haven't talked to them in months. Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 00:25:39 You're not in a relationship with that person. They do not want to be with you. Unless you're Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. Right. I am self-conscious anytime I leave a message because I don't think anyone loses. Only old people do this and the message is anymore. I have 40 days to send more.
Starting point is 00:25:51 I have 40 days to send more. I have 40 days to send more. I have 40 days to send more. I have 40 days to send more. I have 40 days to send more. I have 40 days to send more. I have 40 days to send more. I have 40 days to send more.

I have 40 days to send more. I have 40 days to send more. I have 40 days to send more. I have 40 days to send more. I have one from like two weeks ago and one from seven years ago. And he says things exactly. I'm telling you, nobody under the age of 50 leaves a voicemail. It's, Sioux God still leaves me voicemails
Starting point is 00:26:10 and it's describing what just happened. What shows up on the phone, which is I miss a call from Sioux God. Hey buddy, must have just missed ya. Call me back, call me back. That's implied with a miss call. It's really not important to me to have a lot of things to show off, fancy cars, you know, a giant home.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Those things are just not part of who I am, but I've been coached and I've learned through my advisor that it's not one size fits all. Everyone has their own preferences. Everything that I do with Edward Jones is tailored to who I am. Edward Jones, we do money differently. Visit EdwardJones.ca-different. We like to call this one a chorus of Owen Wilson, ready? Stugats! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. This is the Dane Lebatar Show with the Stugats.
Starting point is 00:27:09 All right, guys, Adnan is here. We're going to start the segment right now. 1, 2, 3, Adnan. It's nice to see you, Adnan. You can check him out on Cinefile. You could check out David Samson on Nothing Personal with David Samson. David Samson is very skeptical of the Travis Kelsey Taylor Swift relationship. And I didn't even get to yesterday. I want to get to David's
Starting point is 00:27:40 got a controversial list of top five Hollywood couples that are together only or wore together for money. I don't know how he assembled that list. We will get to that in a second, but I assume it's based on Kelsey and Taylor Swift. Today, what we're doing is top or least likely, top five least likely couples in the history of the movies. Yes. Okay, you both have lists on this.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Admin, as a list as well. There's got to be common ground between you two on this one. This one is likely to be something that has a lot of agreement. No. Is it all Adam Sandler movies? Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are a great couple. They would not be on any list. Come on, Adam Sandler's married to like Sal Mahayaka.
Starting point is 00:28:24 We know what you're doing. Yeah. No, saying, man, you can, you can totally get with Jennifer Aniston. We know what you're doing. You mean here? Number five, or do you have any outside looking in?
Starting point is 00:28:37 Or we just, I think I'm about to get about you. Yeah. Put it on the, will you go out with me? Put it on the pole. Will you go out with me? Put it on the Polat Lab at Touch Show. Our Adam Sandler drew Barrymore one of the best movie couples. I do.
Starting point is 00:28:53 I do. I do. That's a pretty good mic. I wouldn't quit your day job. He does a good facial. It requires the face. The sound is okay as his limited fake Sandlerler but the jowly moving of the face the fleshy movements and wave onjulations of the face or what makes it like add man is workshop in a
Starting point is 00:29:14 sandwich. Let's see what add man add man kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 00:29:32 I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. with the premises. She wasn't actually Gwyneth Paltrow. Number four. Number four. Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy in 48 hours. No way. That's a great movie couple. Come on, David. Opposites a track. You're telling me a redneck blonde guy and Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy fast talker going to a country western bar. That is a match being to heaven, my
Starting point is 00:30:03 friend. That is an outstanding movie couple. It may have been ahead of its time in that regard. I will grant you. I still say it's quite a casting bit of genius to put Eddie Murphy and Nick Martin. I will tell you why because before Nick Nolte gets said a word and I can't believe I'm about to say this, he has the physical build and thickness of someone I believe wouldn't like black people. Like, it's part of what it is that makes the pairing so good. He's not the guy. Notes physical presence on the screen makes me feel like that doesn't, he doesn't like others.
Starting point is 00:30:38 See, that thickness like similarly thick people. To your point, Dan, Jack Paveer, the great film critic had an unbelievable lot of Nick Nolte, said he has a voice like a talking aftrack. Perfect. Put it on the pole, please, that Levitage Show. Does Nick Nolte have the voice of a talking aftrack? Number? He does have the best mugshot in history,
Starting point is 00:30:58 in history, which is amazing to say because there's some great, we could do top five mugshots. And Nick Nolte would be number one for me. Which mug shot did he have some sort of incident that came with a mug shot? I'm not, I'm not understanding. No, this is the most famous mug shot ever, the DUI. Remember the Hawaiian shirt?
Starting point is 00:31:15 Are the shoveled, cold and retired it to the rafter? Samson's right, it's the greatest mug shot ever. Yeah, it's a studio team's working and get it on the screen. And I can't believe you've never seen it. Well, maybe I have seen it and don't remember it, but I don't think I've seen it. Number three.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Number three is Zach Galvanakis and Elizabeth Banks. Galvanakis. New James? Galvanakis. Galvanakis. There was a speed bump on the end there that he got scared of on Galvanakis. In the Beany Bubble, which is a recent movie
Starting point is 00:31:44 where he is the founder of Beanie Babies. What did you think of that movie? I thought it was just okay. I thought it was just okay, but I was blown away that Mirney from Zach and Mirney make a porno. Lizzo Banks who I love. It's Mira.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Mira, Zach and Mirney. Mira Savino. It's not Mira Savino. Zach and Mirney make a porno. It's Mira's Mirney the movie, yeah. Isn't this something that appears all the time though in film, the unlikely man with the beautiful woman? Like, doesn't that happen all the time?
Starting point is 00:32:13 Isn't that why we go into movies, Dan? Is that not what an actor want to do? Let's look at Nick Dolti for God's sakes. This is the greatest moment I've ever seen that. I'm sorry. People in Exxist Man alive. I am so sorry. I did, but I thought that was Gary Busy.
Starting point is 00:32:29 I thought I was remembering that as Gary as Gary Busy, that that was a Gary Busy Munchat. I wasn't remembering that. I mean, but that looks like Gary Busy all the time, not just in a Munchat. Gary Busy's entire career was built on, can we get Nick Nolting? No, let's get Gary Bucy instead Number that's amazing that photo number two bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson in Lost in translation My it's in my top five does it not get soiled in some way by the
Starting point is 00:33:00 Unlikeliness of the couples like I think I just saw I'm in the middle of watching four or five bad hijack episodes on Apple and all of the terrorists are terribly cast. Like none of them look threatening in any way. In that movie, I thought it would take away some of the pleasure of the movie that you, that a spark between Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray would be unlikely. What makes you keep watching hijack because I did the same thing I was done after two episodes but I couldn't stop. What makes you because I won't stop when I start but I think you
Starting point is 00:33:35 will. Why do you did you not stop? Well, I used to but my wife is like you and doesn't stop so I have to sit there and finish that. By the way, I would check out four minutes, ten minutes in on anything. She will not do that. Put it on the pole, please, that Lepetard show. Will you watch a movie all the way through just to finish it or will you stop? Number one, number one, the least likely movie couple of all time is Tom Hanks and Wilson. That's the way. I would have said Tom Hanks and Helen Hunt. They don't have much chemistry in that movie, but Wilson, I like going off the board,
Starting point is 00:34:14 Sam, so that's pretty good. Uh, Jessica made a face that that Jessica does not like that as an unlikely pairing, although most humans would think having a relationship with a volleyball is unlikely. I mean, it's not like they consummated it. So you have sex, what you have sex and the relationship to the rule. Although, maybe they did. I don't know. I have to rewatch it in the cutting room floor. Adnan, are you ready? Are you better? List is ready, Dan. The better list is ready now. I should be talking to these two about baseball. It's pretty important week in the baseball season.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Number five. We'll get to hold it up. Regan's just a second. But first, a Chris go to selection. Catherine Haigel and Seth Rogan and knocked up. I don't get high. You mean in the morning? Number four. Number four is Timothy Shaliman, Army Hammer,
Starting point is 00:35:03 and call me by your name. He looks like he's 12, and Army Hammer's clearly a cannibal. So I can't buy that. Number three, don't go past that. Is that because they're both men? What was it like? I thought you'd be happy. It was being very inclusive,
Starting point is 00:35:19 including the same sex romance, which I did not find convincing on the screen. Because like I said, he looks like he's 12, and Army Hammer likes to eat people. I find him a day very distracting in his youthfulness because I watched little women recently and him and source a Ronan. I also, it was not very convincing to me that they were actually in love. Number three. Number three is Jason Mamo and Amber heard an aquaman. Oh, come on. I mean, Mamo is just all jacked up. and Amber heard an aquaman
Starting point is 00:35:49 I mean Mamo is just all jacked up and Amber heard is like crazy. She's just is supposed to be Wait a minute you just made it a volleyball and Tom hang they were a couple David know they weren't He just spoke to the ball to keep himself same. Yeah, are you in a relationship? Put it on the pole at levittard show Tom Hanks The ball. Yeah, yeah, yeah, did did Tom Hanks have sex with Wilson were Tom Hanks and Wilson in right now One two Where were Tom Hanks in the volleyball a couple
Starting point is 00:36:20 A relationship couple You do you do you do it's clear that you do a relationship cup. You don't just need to get the ball. You do, you do, it's clear that you do. Number two. Well said, Emma Watson and Dan Stevens imbueding the beast. What are you making face?
Starting point is 00:36:39 The guys of beast who the hell is in love with the beast? You can be a little bit beast. Now I know what the value is. Now you're the beast. Yeah's in love with the beast. You can be a little bit beast. Now he's talking about what the beast is. Valorant, you're the beast. Yeah, she lives with the gorilla, yes, I mean. I don't like the fact that I see where his list is going. I would assume based on his list that he's gonna have
Starting point is 00:36:55 something like Star Wars related as a couple, like Chubaka and somebody. And I was trying, now I grant you, I opened with the volleyball, though I had a very significant attachment to Wilson and Tom Hanks, but I didn't think about this ad now We were doing this list that you would be coming up with Fake people you have a ball with David Samson have sex with the volleyball Is that what would you what what what is what is what is happened here you seem you seem a bit wounded right now
Starting point is 00:37:25 I don't like the fact that you are talking down about Wilson Why do you have a close relationship with Wilson? Because I can relate to needing to have an outlet and Not actually needing that outlet to talk back to you, but just needing that outlet to try to cure the loneliness That's what Tom about nothing personal with David Samson where no one talks back to you, but just needing that outlet to try to cure the loneliness. That's what Tom. Talk about nothing personal with David Samson, where no one talks back to you and you have that outlet. Number one, Alisa and amphibian man in the shape of water.
Starting point is 00:37:56 He's a fish man. Great one. Love the fish man. And to Jess's point, they do copulate. So that's disgusting. That's his fish man gets down with Elsa she's immune he lets his junk do the talk and his uh...
Starting point is 00:38:12 yeah yeah it was a slimy fish person and that would be hard for a human being to consummate a relationship with a slimy put it on the pole please dude is it hard for a human being to consummate a relationship with a slimy fish person? That would be a nightmare. It was hard. Dan, answer your question. Thank you. Now, as hard as Taylor was yesterday when he didn't get lowered, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:38:35 You're right. You're right. I mean, he came in here today. It was the same thing. Can you be talking about that? Can you guys, I mean, it's disturbing. It's getting in the way of meetings and stuff because it won't go down. It's like he's got a prio-pism. Can you guys tell me whether the Marlins are gonna make the playoffs, the Marlins are not good enough to make the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:38:58 They shouldn't be empirically in the playoffs, but they are tied for the final wild card spot with the Cubs and they're in the final wild card spot are tied for the final wildcard spot with the Cubs. And they're in the final wildcard spot because they own the tiebreaker. So if they actually, if they were to win the rest of their games, they would... They control their destiny. And I don't think they're as good as the Cubs, but that doesn't matter if there are four games left, whether you're better than the Cubs or not.
Starting point is 00:39:20 I for one think the Marlins are going to do it. They're playing Pittsburgh, and I believe that the brewers who control who they play are not going to want to play the Cubs because Cubs fans will go to American Family Field just an hour and a half north on 94. They'd rather play the Marlins. So the way the brewers can guarantee they play the Marlins is by beating the Cubs in the final weekend of the season. They probably really taste their highly objectionable but his baseball knowledge is excellent. I think David is correct.
Starting point is 00:39:46 And it's an amazing story, fellas. The fact that saying the outcon tour has done for the year and has not had a strong year coming up as a young Yuri Perez shut down Braxton, Garrett, their best pitcher. He has to pitch game one of a double header. He gets rocked against the Metz and yet still somehow the Marlins looking to make the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:40:01 It's an amazing story. Really is. I just need my pirates to beat my Marlins so my cops make it in the playoffs. See you later, guys. looking if they're going to make the playoffs. It's an amazing story, really is. I just need my pirates to beat my Marlon, so my cops make it in the playoffs. See you later, guys.
