Folks, I'm getting hungry, and you know my favorite part of any meal, snack, or game day app? That's right. The goat, or should I say the greatest of all time? Frank's Red Hot! It's got the perfect blend of flavor and heat that elevates all foods from wings to Buffalo chicken dip to even ice cream. That's right, I said ice cream. And with a roster of flavors from OG to sweet chili, you can put that shit on everything.

So make every dish the greatest and eat the goat. 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 Lebitard 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. Start of the day, this year, start of the day. Stad of the day, stat of the day is presented by Moneyline. Download the Moneyline app or visit Moneyline.com to learn more. Money Lion, make money easy. Today's NCAA Saturday Day is Duke has never won a national championship

without beating St. John's somewhere along the line. Really? So 91, or excuse me, 9091, they beat him. 91, 92 they beat him. 2000-20, they beat him. 9-10, they beat him. 14-15, they beat him. And then they play this year in the Sweet 16.

Rick Petino is still alive. He was so pissed yesterday. As he will be forever. Shout out to my guy, Kaz. He said that. the world could end, you know, nuclear war or whatever, and there could be eight people left, and Petino will get them to the Sweet 16. I've made the joke for years that the only three things that will survive a nuclear

Holocaust are cockroaches, Twinkies, and Drew Rosenhouse. I'm going to add, I'm going to add Rick Petino to that list. Wow, Mount Rushmore. Also, keep an eye on the Dooms Jay Clock, Kansas, a little self-reflection from Bill Self after that game. I don't like what I'm seeing. What did you make of the way that game ended? There were a lot of great finishes in college basketball, but the way that one ended where you're allowing a layup at the buzzer, never with that amount of time,

is anyone ever allowed to get, roll right to the basket and just make a layup at the buzzer? I remind everyone, you're watching children. That's what I always think about. It's like, I get friends, they're like, oh, that's right, they're kids. don't know what they're doing. They get excited and they forget and all that stuff. So I think that's kind of part of

the beauty of March Madness in college basketball is it does come down to hey, who keeps their stuff together as opposed to the pros where a lot of times it's just, I'm better than you and we can just end it there. I mean, on that play, their rim protector goes to the three point line because they have a pin down screen against somebody else and he's just like floating to the three point

line and then buddy just takes it, hits an incredible layup by the way, like having the momentum under the basket and then finishing with The English that he did was a great shot. But like the rim protector, you're supposed to, I don't care if the guys over there. You stand like a tree and you do not let him shoot a way up. With that amount of time left? There's kids.

That's all I can tell you, they're kids. I heard my dad's. Big NFL breaking news. JSN has extended with the Seahawks for four years, $168 million. Of that, $120 million is guaranteed. It is the largest such guarantee. for a wide receiver in NFL history. You're a good player.

That's twice as much as the going rate for a kiddle or a Sequin Barclay annually. That's how they're valuing. Sequan Barclay is not that good. I watch them lose to a bunch of Amazon delivery drivers. What was that about? That was fun. Can we talk about that? Dude, the first two games were like, all right, I'm into this.

And then, like, one thing that Fox hadn't accounted for was, like, Team USA was going to smack these guys up so bad that it would become boring. Shout out to Hoosh. He talked all that shit. And he backed it up. For those of you who don't know what Mike is talking about there, the flag football, our Olympic flag football team dragged Gronk and Brady and Stefan Diggs and a bunch of different pros because flag football is an entirely different sport.

It doesn't require strength or power. It's all quickness. It's a completely different sport than what they're used to playing. The quarterback, Nico Casaris, is a really good friend of mine. I can have him here tomorrow, Dan, if you want to talk about it. I do feel like midway through they kind of learned, oh, we may have picked the wrong. guys. Like I do feel like the NFL could pick a team that if they trained for months could compete. Like we had the wrong guys out there. You need the smallest and the like Twitch

muscle and like it was just, I feel like we just had our, we had the best players out there where it's like, no, no, no, you got to go with the quickest players in the NFL. This is a little irresponsible of me. I was inundated with all sorts of things happening this weekend. But I thought I saw a quote where after one of those pick sixes, the guy said, welcome to flag football. He did. It was on Jalen Hertz. It was Logan. Was it Logan Paul? Iron enough, Logan was one of the best selections that the Wildcats made. There was Wildcats and the founders, I got to tell you, I had the chills watching Tom Brady,

who was watching. Side step. Him running out of the locker room after the NFL guys got their asses kicked. And you could see, like, all right, competitive juices forming. I don't know why we're playing Jalen Hertz. Stop playing Jalen Hertz. Brady was better than Jalen Hurdy. Can we just digest that?

First play in. Tom Brady, step in. Tom Brady steps aside, evades the pressure. The only miss sack by them all day. We got to see Grunk Brady one last time before Grunk on the touchdown catch, slides and pulls his hammy out of bounds. Can you tell me what's going on with Tom Brady and Logan Paul? It's a WrestleMania thing.

They're setting up for sure. It's a WrestleMania thing that they're setting up. But what are they doing? They're just doing the thing on the internet where they talk crap to each other. They're doing what the Pauls do. Perhaps you're familiar with their work. They're professional trials. I like them.

This what you're about to play, though, is not what they're doing. This is Logan Paul's sarcastic apology. No, no, this is part of the program. It started on impulsive. There's reports out there suggesting that Tom Brady is going to be involved somehow some way with Russell Moon. It being in Vegas. WWE has started selling some Tom Brady merch. That's not so far out of left field because of the fanatics partnership.

WWE does a lot of weird marketing partnerships. Halliburton has some stuff. but it seems pretty clear that they're working towards some kind of payoff, and the expectation was at this flag football tournament, that there would be some advancement in that storyline, and there was. Now, Logan Paul plays a heel quite well in wrestling, and here, this is more of him keeping up in line with his character, but he does give a little breakdown from his perspective.

I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for some of my actions in yesterday's flag football game. First, I want to apologize to the United States flag football team for taking Dushet's glasses off of his face and throwing them at the ground. That happened because after he scored a touchdown, he kind of got in my grill and said to me, welcome to flag football. Welcome to flag football. Which upset me because it's comments like that that I just can't tolerate.

Second, I'd like to apologize to Jalen Hertz for sacking you and later deflecting a pass that then got intercepted by my team, allowing us to score on the very next possession. If you get traded or your contract gets cut down, now we know why. And it's probably pretty embarrassing, so I am sorry. And of course, I'd like to apologize to Tom Brady for applying so much pressure on you play after play after play that had you literally fearing for your life. I understand you're older. It's not like you could go anywhere.

and you got frustrated, which is why you threw the ball at me. And I want you to know that I forgive you for that, because that's what real men do. And lastly, I want to apologize to everyone that said that I was not a great athlete, because you all look stupid as hell right now. Thank you. To Chris Cody's point, okay, we all saw Gronk as the last line of defense on that lateral Kenyan Drake play, where we all learned, oh, that Frankenstein monster doesn't move. that great when it comes to quickness and laterally. I was telling this story the other day to a couple of people in college. Our intramural football team made it to the semifinals of a flag football tournament because the University of Miami players like Cortez Kennedy, they were on our sidelines and the referees were intimidated by them because they would be very, they would be very menace.

We didn't deserve to be there, but once we got to the semifinals, we promptly lost to a team that had audibles and wristbands with plays on them. And we're like, was it, Izzy? We're like, nobody's going to beat that team. That team's going to obviously win. That team got smoked, okay, by a bunch of Asian kids from the business school, one of whom actually came to the game with a briefcase. Because quickness is all that matters in flag football. Like that, and their quarterback, the guy who came to you. out with the briefcase, they had two rushers and they couldn't get it.

Like when they had two rushers. And so your friend, Tony, is probably impossibly quick. He is very quick, but has a great arm. You could see he was leading throws. He was putting, you know, the ball in excellent places. He's not even QB1, by the way. I think he, no, no, I think he's made the determination that after it's play against NFL, you know, quality guys, he's QB1.

And some of the throws that he was making word clever. He was like 11 for 11, like midway through like game three. but Hoos also plays quarterback and he's far more twitchy than like almost anybody else on the field. But Tony knows these guys because it was really funny. The coaches were wired for sound. Team USA's head coach is a Miami guy. And you could tell right away when someone was screaming, oh yeah,

to get people's attention. He also doubles up for Team Cuba in the flag football world, which I'm going to try out for. Wait a second, man. Hold on. What? Cuba from Miami. No, but he can't, for both teams?

Well, no. This is the offsees. This world. So this is different. This is the Olympics. I mean, come on. This is amazing, man. Have you ever lost to anyone with a briefcase?

No. Briefcase ass. Dan, that would traumatize me for life. That, like, I got my ass handed to me by someone with a briefcase. It was so abundantly clear that this is just a different game. And Bob Sala did not have any answers for it. They didn't know the rules. They would kind of like any time one of these Twitchy Team USA dudes would come by,

They would just grab them, which is against the rules, because they don't know how to pull the flag. It was really tricky for them. And I realized, like, man, Hush Ducet and Team USA, like, they know what they were talking about. Totally different sport. Hush is probably more likely to be effective in the NFL than Mahomes is in this sport because it's just a totally different thing. The Bengals could not have enjoyed watching Joe Burrow play that game. He was a crazy person out there. There were four or five plays where it's like, oh, he could have got seriously hurt right there.

I bet you that their owner was probably like, you know, he's obviously, let me let him do his thing. They probably didn't put much thought into it. I guarantee you they regretted that instantly. Before we update our tournament, when I heard my father's voice there on the stat of the day, it reminded me of a story that my mother just told me about the end of that Lakers heat game the other day. Donchich, just crazy how good he was in that game. And just crazy how good LeBron still is. That doesn't make any sense.

There has never been a human being like that in the history. birth. Like that, that has never existed before the idea that he could have a triple double as the oldest player in basketball. It's just insane. But my father was complaining because there were Laker fans in front of him. And he was yelling and screaming about the fact that he couldn't see the last five minutes of the game. And an usher came over and tried to get those Lakers fans to leave. They ignored him. They would not leave. And so my mother is telling my father the entire time to settle down, which is making him even even angrier. And I'm like, dad.

They didn't have seats there, sorry, just to clarify? No, my parents. No, I know they did. The people in front of them. No, they were, they were just standing, but there was, they were making a lot of noise. My father was getting mad. And your parents don't stand. They're allowed to make noise, though. My point is, I thought you made it seem like there were people that weren't supposed to be

there standing in their way. No, I did not mean to say that. There were just simply people in front of my father who he was asking for a long time, please sit down, I can't see the game. My father was not able to see the last five minutes of a really good basketball game. But they're just following orders, Dan. Michael Beaumonte tells you to stand up and make some noise. And make...

Well, that's for the heat they're supposed to. Not for the Lakers. Yeah, that's true. So an usher came over and they ignored the usher as well because evidently it didn't elevate to ejection status. But my mother was telling my father, please, please stop making a scene. and my father was complaining about that, which made him all the more agitated.

I'm like, Dad, mom is afraid that in these situations, when people in imposing fan bases have too many drinks, fights start, and you're going to get punched. And my father says, and what? I punch back. Oh, wow.

And I'm like, Dad, you're 82. Hello, friends, hello listeners. I want to talk to you about chime, because chime is changing the way people bank and honestly it just makes sense. This is fee-free, smarter banking built for regular people like you and me, not old-school banks charging overdraft

You know that energy shift when the game gets good? And everybody, altogether, 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 Cuervo. 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 Cuervo brings. It's so smooth, so delicious. That's the Cuervo. effect. Keep it. Querebo. Don Lebatard. But it's just his titties are sitting on the shelf that is his belly.

Stugats. He said tities. It just shocked me a little bit. I wasn't quite prepared for tities. This is the Don Lebatar show with the Stugats. I've dealt with this before. My dad trying to get tough and stuff that I'm going to have to end up on golf courses this has happened before. Tell the story. Well, I mean, I think it's just, it's happening

It's happened in driving with him before because he's very angry at other people where he wants to up you at somebody and then all of a sudden they're like breaking and we're level with us and it's like oh now who dad you're gonna you just told them up you. Does he roll down the window and say that? My dad, the road rage, my dad is the angriest I've ever seen him. For real. In person and stuff on golf courses. He's had little things. Never more scary than on like my dad is if you cut my dad on. Hey, look at this asshole.

Like my dad is like he'll get up on your like on the car like he'll pull like if you cut him. off, he's then going to pull up behind you. So you see him behind. You're like, oh, this guy that I just got in front of doesn't like that. I just did that. Greg Cody full of bile and venom. I can't imagine that. And then, you've known him a long time, obviously. Oh, no, I've seen him angry a lot. Yeah. And it's unreasonably angry. His anger, his anger doesn't deal with logic. It's It happened once in here. With me at least. It was, but no, not like the way he's talking about. No, but even with me and my brother, like throughout my life, my dad does get really angry, but he's the king of a half hour later. Oh, yeah.

Hey, sorry. Like, sorry. Like, just like, hey, I know I may have overreacted here. I'm not happy with what you did. I doubt it's, I'm sorry. I doubt it's, I'm sorry. He may, I'm doubt. I've not heard your father ever say the words.

I'm sorry. He'll just be like, I may have overreact. Maybe he won't say that. I don't know about the exact phrase. I'm sorry, but he definitely will give a, hey, I acted pretty heated a little bit ago. I feel like in a fighting situation, it would turn into like Don Zimmer going out to Pedro Montinos. Just kind of like... Well, that would certainly be my father.

Like, he's, I mean, he's 82. Yeah, he's not at this point. But what? Put it on the poll at Lebitard show. Does every 82-year-old man think he's 22? Huh? When it comes to fighting. I need to add when it comes to fighting.

He's going to punch back? I punch back as a bar, though. Let me update our tournament here because we've lost a lot of winners. A lot of things that are going to break the hearts of some members of our audience to find that some of these teams are now out of our looks-like tournament. This is our first round losers here, notable. Before we get to the round of 32, we're going to get to just some first-round losers. So they're not winners. Dan, you said we lost a lot of winners, but we lose a lot of losers.

They're all winners in his book. We had a lot of good ones in this tournament, and it hurts to see all of these go. Number five, Wisconsin is gone. That means this is gone. Jonathan Zaslow looks like your big toe after hitting the corner of the bed. Lost to high point, a 12 seed. Also gone, number six, BYU represented by. Dave Damashek looks like a realtor that would buy a billboard that reads,

License to Sell while posing like James Bond. Absolutely. Lost to number 11, Texas. Miami would have gotten Texas in the next round. South, number six, North Carolina is gone. Their coach might be gone, too, which kind of surprised. me. North Carolina was represented by... Chiefs owner, Clark Hunt,

looks like the director of a funeral home that makes candles out of its surplus of embalming fluid. That was VCU advancing. You can't tell me that guy doesn't look like that. I mean, you can't tell me that Clark Hunt... What? He doesn't look like that? Look at the way he's wearing

that ring. That guy wears that ring that way and takes that pose because he's so pleased that he's getting away with no one knows that the candles are made out of embalming fluid. Number seven, St. Mary's somehow ended up losing that game. I'm sorry, St. Mary's didn't lose to Kentucky. St. Mary's was 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. Cody? Villanova is also gone. That means this is gone. Paul Skeen's looks like someone who tried to draw Josh Allen from memory. Dang. That's a good one.

It's great. That's a good one. It's crazy how much he looks like Josh Allen with a mustache. George is gone. That means this is gone. Ron McGill looks like your recently divorced mom's first date, who, when you answer the door, is vigorously chewing his gum and combing his hair with a palm comb as he leans ever so slightly back to gander at the size of the home,

while never once acknowledging you with his eyes. Miami knocked out Missouri. Missouri was represented by? Andy Reed looks like the guy on the bowling team that everyone calls, Twinkle toes. Absolutely. Miami of Ohio also lost. That means this is gone.

Jonathan Zaslow looks like the guy in an arcade who puts a stack of quarters on the Pac-Man game to send a message to any kids that he's going to be there a while. Hurts to lose that one. Akron, that's why I told you, these winners, they're winners. That one hurts. That one hurts. That one hurts. That picture looks like Zaz is literally he just put the quarters on it and they're looking back at

the kid. Like, don't even try it. I really liked this one. Akron's gone. that means this is gone. Tom Fibito looks like the 64th person killed by Liam Neeson in the movie Taken. No. Hofstra is gone.

That means this is gone. Dan Marino looks like the third place finisher and a David Hasselhoff look-a-like contest. North Dakota State is gone. That means this is gone. Nick Wright looks like a Geico caveman. Such a high seat for a great looks like. Well, I think it's too obvious, though. My guess is he's probably been getting that his entire, you know, since that ad campaign, or since he grew his hair out.

Since he grew his hair out. Yeah, that's the line of demarcation. Queens is gone. That means Nick Wright is gone again. Nick Wright looks like Adam Driver if he wore his Kylo Ren helmet for a month straight. Oh, man. Furman's also gone. That means this is gone.

Adam Silver looks like a torpedo bat. The NBA has rescinded the 16th technical foul of Luca Donchich, and the quotes, and I don't know what happened here, they were speaking in Serbian. And so he has an argument, and I don't know the opposing player. So he was having an argument with. Gogh Batadzee of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of it. Yeah, you could say it 10 times and I get it wrong every time. And he said that that. That person said to him that he was going to bleep his entire family back home.

And that person says, no, Lucas said that to me, and I was just repeating it. And now that 16th technical foul has been rescinded. He's a baby, by the way. It's one of the reason that Laker fans are a little bit frustrated with him. It's fine when you're winning all the games. But he is a baby. Like, he behaves unbelievably immaturely for a superstar. Unlike I'd say just about anybody, right?

The 16th technical foul. He's the worst in the league. Is he the new Rashid Wallace in terms? No one's that bad. No one is as bad as Rashid. Put a pin on it. Weekend observations. Okay.

I don't think Rashid was a baby, though. Like, Luca comes off as a baby. Who will history say was worse in terms of antics on the court? Dremont or Rashid? Oh, Draymond. Rashid wasn't a dirty player. No, I mean the antics. Duh.

But the antics of Dremont were all directed at opponents, whereas Rashid's antics were directed at officials. It's just my entire life, Rashid's kind of been that gold standard, and I'm suggesting maybe we moved to Draymond? The distinction that I was making, right? The reason I went to Rashid and just bypassed

Draymond is because Lucas just going after refs all the time. It's the same thing that Zaz was just saying. But Rashid had a temper problem as it related to refs. I think Rashid was worse. Can you tell me, Jeremy? Don't do it. Don't do it. Weekend observations, please. So I can't ask whether

The Rashid is the leader all time of technical fouls. Don't look up any information. But I will tell a fun Rashid Wallace story because even though he got a lot of technicals and was really, really harsh with the refs, there was a game we're playing up in Detroit and Rashid is just running commentary. Everything is, every cussword under the sun, go back to lens crafters, everything. He's doing the whole thing. So Amari goes up.

He gets foul, they don't call it. He misses the layup and he goes, fuck, right? tee him up. And they're like, what was that for? It's like, disrespecting the officials. Like, Rashid has been doing stand-up the whole game. And I swear to God, the refs said, yeah, but that's just how he talks.

It reached the point, no matter how many technicals he got, it reached the point where they just, this is like a humdrum for them. They just kind of glossed over it. And he had to really go above and beyond to earn his technical power. And that happened to a Dremont, too. Like the reality of it is,

Dremond, and it sounds like Rashid did as well, they, no one gets more. tolerance from the officials than those guys. It's a volume game for them. It's kind of like you with jury duty. What are they going to tell you? What are you going to do? Nothing.

What are you going to do? Andre Drummond just got fined $25,000 for making like a gun shooting gesture at the opposing bench after making a three. And I think if Andre Drummond makes a three, he should be allowed to do whatever he wants. He now shoots three. This is a good take. It's one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. Like he had no mid-range game, and now he's out there shooting threes. Explain to me what's happening there, basketball expert.

Explain to me how it's possible that Andre Drummond is now someone who shoots threes. Oh, you've been working at it. He's been working at it since he was in Detroit. It just never translated into games, and now he's finally got to a point where he can catch and shoot. But again, it's like, it's one of those things where if you're playing them, you're like, all right, let him shoot the three. Is he the player who it's the most shocking that you've ever seen that all of a sudden now he shoots three-pointers? Manu Boll was weird because it was first. But he always did that.

Yeah, but it was first. I'm watching a seven-seven guy shoot threes and it was confused. Like that's the first guy I think of when I think of what the hell's he doing all the way out there? Yes, that is what he, that is all he did. I'll tell you to me, it's one of the greatest triumphs of player development. It's Derek White. because Derek White was on the scouting report, leave his ass wide open.

And for him to go from, we don't even worry about you at the three-point line. That was Jason Kidd too. No, but Jason Kidd wasn't doing step-back threes. Like, Derek White shoots threes. Like, he creates threes, like a guy who's been able to hit threes all his career. And in reality, five years ago, he was,

we don't guard you. We run the other way. I can't, right now in the league, I can't think of anyone else who's been better in terms of that. That's such a great shout. He went from a dude that I was happy to have the ball in his hands to this is one of the hundred greatest basketball players I've ever seen. Jason Tatum has returned and Tracy McGrady says the Celtics offense has not been the same since he came back. You mentioned earlier, I mean, that they lost to Minnesota at home without Anthony Edwards. Mike Ryan and Jeremy were saying that Jason Tatum would come back and make them worse.

I don't believe that that's going to be the case in the playoffs. I don't believe that adding Jason Tatum is going to be something that makes that team more, less playoff savvy than it already was. Solid misrepresentation of what Mike said. All right. See, that is not my voice. That's you talking as me as for you. Well, I'd like to talk for myself because you spoke for me and you totally miscategorized it.

Don't talk to the monologue. I said that there would be an acclamation point for him. them, which was the most obvious thing, and I was attacked for, like, the most obvious take. Yeah. And also, I saw the schedule. I cheated. I looked ahead. And they had some difficult opponents.

Now, they've been playing pretty well and winning the games that they were supposed to. Last night was a change in that. Yeah, last night was a change in that, no doubt. But the way that Jason Tatum plays would naturally suggest that he would demand that you reacclimate a little bit. I'm sure they can figure it on the postseason. We'll see if they end up running through the east. I remain skeptical of that because I just think the East is better and it's not the foregone conclusion. But this is what is the most obvious thing in the world to me.

He's been shooting, like we have eight games now, okay? Which still, it's not a lot of games, but he's been shooting very poor since he returned. Very poor. And as a result, if you have a player who now you are including in the lineup who's taking 17 and a half shots a game and shooting poor, yeah, like those are 17 half shots that weren't being shot 39%. Yeah, but I think the idea is that, hey, he's got to get this out of his system now. That's why

he comes back in mid-March as opposed to the last week of April. It's so that we have a whole month and a half, six weeks of get all the kinks out your system, get the rust off. By the time we get to the playoffs and hopefully for them they're going to be in a position where they don't have to

wait to see who they're going to play. They'll know who they're going to play. So basically a three-seed. That gives them all the opportunity in the world to prep and get ready. To me, this is never, this is a no-brainer. Oh, do you think they could drop to three? Yeah. Like Mike said,

their schedule is real. They have the top of schedule, I think. I don't feel like I was misrepresenting, though, what Mike and Jeremy were saying about the idea that you guys were celebrating that Jason, that Jason Tatum would return and he would foul up what was a 50-plus win team by returning when they were a 65-win team when they won the championship. What we were saying, and primarily Mike definitely not me unless it ends up being right, was that Jalen Brown is having an MVP level season. And the concern was that if you have Jason Tatum come back, play poorly, change the way that the ball was moving around, a team that was shooting just about as well as anybody in basketball, moving the ball, having body movement, putting up a ton of shots from three, that if the ball sort of started staying in Tatum's hands and he wanted to take. shots toward the end of the game that the personalities could be combustible because you have

Jalen Brown who tweets like a wide receiver. But Brown has embraced the fact that Tatum is coming back. It's just a matter of whether or not that ultimately works in the long run. But to a means point, that's why they brought him back in March and not in April to figure out those kinks now. Yeah, but we were right about the kings. Okay, sure. But now they're looking at it like, okay, Cade is now out of the picture for we don't know how long. The Knicks are always going to be the Knicks. Like, they have a legitimate shot to be the representative for the East in a season that they thought was going to be completely washed.

Yo, Dailen Brown tweets like a wide receiver is a great line. Thank you. Don Lebertard. You're getting started on the breakfast flan. Oh, man. I've been singing a song to myself all morning long. Breakfast flan. Do you never heard the breakfast flound? No, hit me with it. Okay. I wish I had some breakfast flan.

Breakfast flound. Where can I find a breakfast like that. This is the Dan Levatar Show with the Stugats. Let's do Amin's Weekend Observation so that we could speak freely about Rashid Wallace. It is time for... Amin. To share his game notes.

No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy. I mean. Weekend observations is brought to you by Miller Light. Legendary moments, start with a light. Dan? It's that time of year again. When all across the country, thousands of manned hours of labor are lost

to people hitting Alt-Tab on their computers to change the screen to an Excel spreadsheet when the boss walks by the desk. March Madness. Flynn Clayman, head coach of High Point University, said nobody would play us just like they wouldn't play Miami, Ohio. Neither of those schools have won a game since he said that.

Low Point University. Whether that includes the High Point Women's Team, they also lost. Flynn Clayman, sounds like the name of a down-on-his-luck character and a rom-com played by Ben Stiller. Ring, ring! Ring! Pick up the phone, Dano. Hello? It's Fred Hoyberg!

He wants to know where your fat daddy is at now. He'll be at the sweetest. He helped me get the sweet 16, yeah. LSU women. Beat Texas Tech like they stole something. How does a seven seed lose a game by 50 plus points? Did they outsource the game to the Wizards? Washington, D.C., what's the point of bike lanes if none of the bikes or scooters use it?

I'm in D.C. this weekend. They're all over the sidewalk. They're in the middle of the street. You have dedicated bike lanes. Nobody uses them. I'm like, what's the point? We could have made these. into car lane. You should walk in those lanes.

I should. That's what I should have done. Nobody's using it? I'm here. Amaya battle. Clince the Sweet 16 for Minnesota with a buzzer-beater against Ole Miss. I guess for the rebels, you could say it was one battle after another. Where's my camera? One battle after another.

It's a little Oscar humor. The Wizards got into a fight with the thunder on Saturday. Guys are like two weeks too late to the show that you all get pushed around. Should have been fighting BAM. They're fighting. That is.

They're just delayed reaction to all the televised commentary on the BAM thing. Luca Donchich got his 16 technical foul Saturday after getting into it with Goghattzi of the Orlando Magic. That triggers an automatic one-game suspension. Dan, do you know why we have the suspension rule for the 16 tech and every other tech thereafter? I don't, actually. Is it the Rashid rule? Because Rashid Wallace set the record in 2001. Can you guess how many he had in that season?

I'm going to guess 32. Anyone else want to hazard a guess? How many technical foul did Rashid have in 2001? 36. Okay. Any other submissions? 61. Okay, thank you.

He knows how to play the game. As there an asterisk on it? No. 41. Whoa! He had a technical foul every other game on average. 41 texts. That's awesome.

Does he have more text than anyone ever? Is he the career leader in tech? You got to give me a second because I wasn't allowed to look it up. Now you can look it up. But while you do that, I can tell you the top five most unbreakable records in basketball. Number five. John Stockton, 15,806 assists for a career. Chris Paul, who just retired, would literally have to average eight assists a game, every game for the next five years to catch him.

And Chris Ball's old. And was good at, it was pretty good in assistance. Number four, Wilk Chamberlain, 55 rebounds in a game. The most since the ABA NBA-N-BA merger was 37 by Moses Malone. That happened two months before I was born. That record's not getting broken. Number three, Tony knows this one. Steph Curry career made three-pointers.

It's a lot. We thought about Khan Kinnipu who was having the best rookie season ever shooting threes. He merely has to have like 253-pointers made. 284 for the next 15 years. For the next 15 years every single year. To catch where he is right now. To catch Curry, that's if Curry never makes another three-point. He might not.

Number two, Rashid Wallace, 41 technical pals in one season. Steve and I on Luke Canard for Steph Curry's record. What a weird thing that was. And the number one most unbreakable record in basketball. Wilts Chamberlain averaging 48.5 minutes per game in the season. I have the most career techs. They're only 48 minutes. They're only 48 minutes in a game.

The guy averaged more minutes per game than there are minutes in a game. So I guess Chris wants some... Played some bunch of overtime? Yeah. He played every second of the season? He played every second of the season. He played every game and never came out. Now I get it.

Can I guess some of these guys? Please. Rodman? Rodman is number five. Call him alone? No. Number one. Really?

Of course he had a lot of technical fouls. Really? He's number one? He got more than Rashid? Number one. 377. Total 332 in the regular season. Rashid, obviously, is top five. Number two, total, but number three in the regular season.

I'm going to start struggling now. Is Draymond? Is Draymond ascended? Dramon is number six. Ooh. Oh, man. Who are the assholes? Yeah, keep thinking.

Yeah, keep thinking of someone that is always angry looking. People love him now. It's just someone that always looks pissed on. Kurt Thomas? Kevin Willis? David West? It would be Russell Westbro. Oh, yeah, there, yeah.

Kurt Signetti? And it's Dunchit? It's in the top five? No, no. He hasn't played long enough. So who's the other guy? Number three? Or let's do number four?

Number four, Gary Payton? Oh, I was going to say him! And number three, Charles Barkley. All right. Saw an alert that Jeremy Grant will be out for Blazers versus Nuggets. I'll be honest. For God he was still in the league. New segment for Inside the NBA.

He's still playing? Purdue versus Miami, AKA an alcoholic's delight. Boiler markers versus hurricanes. Give me six more of that, please. What is a boiler maker? Not the drink. What is a Purdue?

Put it on the poll at Labitard show. Do you know what a boiler maker does? Yes or no? It's got to do with like trains, right? I think it's an engineer that makes trains. Yeah, isn't their logo? Like a train? Like the steam engine, you know.

A tradesperson who fabricates steel, iron, or copper into boilers and other large containers intended to hold hot gas or liquid. Amazing. You know that off the top of your head like that. Good news, bad news for the hurricanes. Good news. Jay Lucas turned a program around with a great regular season and a respectable showing at the tournament. Bad news. Kentucky got smacked by Iowa State. You're going to lose your coach, Mike.

Kevin Durant. Pass Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list. After the game, he said MJ was on a different planet, a different galaxy. When asked for comment, Jordan declined, saying he was focused on Nets versus Kings, said he knew the guys at the Dan Lebitard show were really eager to hear his thoughts on the Dayquam Plowden versus Malachi Smith matchup. You disrespectful bastards. Speaking of disrespectful bastards, new season of Bar Rescue. And we've got you covered at Here's the Science, a Bar Rescue podcast.

Hosted by Real Life Bar and Restaurant Consultant Chelsea Reynolds. Commercial Kitchen and Food Drug Vet Colin Castert. And two guys who enthusiastically consume boiler makers and hurricanes at the Toledano Street Comedy Festival in New Orleans. Me and Zach Harper, wherever you get podcasts. Tony, messing up Mo Alley Cox. In the words of comedian, Britney Miggs, no piece of comedy is as funny as your friend accidentally saying a word a little bit wrong. Mo Alex Hawker. It's amazing.

Like, you could bring me Chappelle, Chris Rock, Carlin, Richard Pryor. And I'll laugh, but it's never going to be quite as funny as... Moelleckxalk. Yeah. Somehow that's still the peak of comedy. Dan? You know what the K and Luke Knaert stands for? Killer.

Wow. Well done. Cinevob episode 304. My Boss's Daughter. starring Ashton Coochard, Tara Reid, Terence Stamp, Michael Madsen, Molly Shannon, and Carmen Elektra. Oh my God, she's amazing. A movie that must hold a modern record for the usage of the R-word in a major motion picture. They say it a lot.

Terence Stamp says it like six times in 30 seconds. That's a bingo. Oh, man, WMBA, got the deal done. You know how? Sense of urgency. I told you guys last week. Create a fake sense of urgency. you get your thing done.

I don't have an ending for this because I forgot to end it. So those are the weekend. No. What the hell? You forgot to end it. We got a job, there. What the hell is the matter with you? I know.

Weekend observations. I was told that we have a nomination for a laugh to replace the Hakeem Nick's laugh. Truth be told, I wouldn't have given a mean the loser game show sound if I had on my console the Hakeem Nick. laugh, but I do not have that on my console. So Dan, this was incredible because we had Tommy Hutton on and that's a friend of Jeremy's and Tommy Hutton said something that wasn't very funny, but Jeremy was being very helpful and trying to move the interview along and he gave a great fake laugh.

But we all recognized together, why does that laugh sound so familiar? Yeah, it's Kauai's laugh. It is. Here's Kauai's laugh. That is overlay. Jeremy's laugh with Kauai's laugh. It's the exact same laugh. So you want to replace the Hakeem Nix laugh? I mean, it's been used it.

I want to raise it to the rafters. Honor Hakeem Nix for all of his incredible contributions, but he's been replaced. Is he replaced by Jeremy or by the overlay? By the overlay. The overlay. It has to be the overlay. Yeah. Put it on the poll at Lebitard show.

Should we replace the Hakeem Nix laugh with the overlay of Jeremy and Kauai Lennel? Mike, you know I have one rule to live by, right? Don't place parlays 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. We're in clean, underwomeny. wear every day. Well, that's just a personal decision. Brushing your teeth. Obviously smart, but not a rule. Never pee-pee on an electric fence. Okay, maybe there are two rules.

But the one that is 100% 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. Yagermeister liqueur 35% alcohol by volume
