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. This episode of the Dan Lebitart show is presented by Draft Kings. Draft Kings The crown is yours

You guys think you're cute Not so cute today Tried to catch you Not so cute this morning Should have waited a little longer Just wait it out Just see how long it takes them So the NFL combine's going on right now

It's like who cares you know Did you see Ruben Bain sucks Well I told Small arms Yeah he's a bad football player now Hold on hold on The photoshopping of his arms I saw that one

I was like what That's so good Okay good Because I saw a picture And I'm like there's no way that's real So there is a Photoshop one out there. I shouldn't have said anything. I'd give it away. He's got like alligator arms. That's not real, right? No, it's fake. Because you can't draft that. No, it's, I love people just finding out right now that

Rubin Bain doesn't have the prototypical size and has small arms. So this has been the book on him. It's why he wasn't a five star. He is incredible against a run. He is a ferocious pass rusher. And there's still some mock drafts with dudes that play a similar position that have shorter arms than him. Now it's not the time for arms. So, I don't know if you saw though, yesterday. at the comp, you know, teams that are really bad, their coaches should, like, pay real attention at the combine, you know? Those are teams that really need to know what's going on. Wouldn't you agree, Dave?

If you're a coach. Sound counsel. If you're a coach. You should pay attention. If you're a coach and your team sucks, you got to pay attention to the combine. Well, what it shows is that the combine is outmoded in a lot of ways. I mean, it is pretty obvious to be honest. to tell at this point. The Jags and Rams don't attend. A lot of people have pulled back, a lot of teams

have pulled back the number of people that they put out there. There are other methods to evaluate these guys that are better. And what you'll learn is obviously it's a face-to-face, press to flesh opportunity with your peers and the larger community of football people along with meeting these prospects. But what matters ultimately is there's the tape. And football teams understand that. The tape is what matters. Would you agree, though, more than how fast they run the three cone drills? Okay, but would you agree that if you're a coach of a bad team, and in this case, let's say the team is the Jets.

And let's say the coach is Aaron Glenn, all right? Oh, man. Y'all not going to do this to my guy, man. I didn't do anything to him. All right. No one did anything to him. How dare you show what he did? Viral de contextualization.

How dare I show what he did on national television? Coach Glenn hit me up. I will take care of you. Maybe it was just a long blink. Wouldn't you assume if you're a coach of a bad team attending the NFL Combine, probably not the place or the time to fall asleep? That's right. It's usually a cabinet meeting. So you'll hear Rich Eisen, he's on the broadcast for NFL network,

and he's talking about players here who are doing very, very fun stuff at the Combine. But Aaron Glenn, they show on camera, he would rather get in a schluff. So Daniel Jeremiah's top 50s. prospects as Aaron Glenn looks on for the Jets. Not looking. Fernando Mendoza 1. Maya Love, who will also see on Saturday here on NFL Network,

the running back from Notre Dame 2. I mean, Dave, very quickly, someone was a, coach on screen, and he popped up. Open his eyes, started looking around and make sure, hey, I'm awake, I'm here. It's very funny in that cutaway and everything else, but Mike Ryan just said it all.

I mean, if I'm a Jets fan, if I'm a New Yorker, am I supposed to get real worked up about this. There are other people who fall asleep and things that you might make a case are more important. The Combine is a great napping sport. It seems like it's a good one. It's like watching golf.

Also, like if I'm a Jets fan, I'm already resigned to the fact that Aaron Glenn's probably around for one more season anyway, so I can't really work myself up all that much. You ever been to a Combine interview guys? You have, right? Sure. Do you watch every single minute? I don't, I'm coming at me about how

how raw I am about Aaron Glenn taking a nap. People go to the combine. I don't care that much. People go to the combine to network. It's like Summerlee. I just said, do I right? What matters more? I'm not attacking you.

We're on your side. We're on your side. Hey, let us park our core in your garage. Why? He's close to the garage. Let us. That's the sound of the garage going up. It's open now.

Come on in. We're trying to defend you. Okay, but I mean, that's not the question. Do you only watch the combine if you're there? The question is, do you only watch the combine? And if you're not only watching the combine, do you decide to fall asleep? You don't decide to fall. He didn't decide to fall.

to fall asleep. You don't know how hard he's been working. He's burning a candle on both ends here. Come on now. Oh my God, I snooze while some dude ran. Oh my God. No, that's not the be-all end-all of this whole exercise, number one. Number two,

so they caught him. You know how many other guys were sleeping in that stadium? Probably the whole stadium. But it just happened to be on him when he called his nap. Viral de-contextualization. I will always be a champion defending the weak and the under-trodden about these viral decontextualized videos. Stop it. Stop it America. I'm more interested in just where the worst

places to wake up are. Because I would argue on live TV is pretty high up there in terms of the worst places to wake up. I'll tell you what killed him. If he had just woke up and just let it up, the fervid, like the feverish checking of. How long was I out? No, no, look right here. Yeah, right. Let's stumble. All right. Here we go. Here you go. And coach, coach. Coach on TV. No, no, I wasn't asleep. Oh, no, no. I'm very alert. Run the whole thing because he looks, he looks around. He looks around. It's a camera here. I'm very alert.

I couldn't be more awake. See that? That looked at it right. The worst place to wake up is on public transportation after you missed your stop. That's a bad one, yeah. I would argue waking up on the highway. Like you're driving to work in the morning. You're like, like, like Beatrix kiddo did, wouldn't be any good in Kill Bill 2.

By the way, Football America movie episode coming at you in just an hour or two from now, guests are mean and Zaz. and we do a Tarantino character, draft them on other important exercises. Don't plug until you can make sure the guests are there. You were there! We already did it, remember? I just wanted to make sure.

Did you fall asleep? Did you Aaron Glenn that show? Maybe a little. Me and Zaz, we're doing a lot of the talking about. I will tell the audience, we recorded that show, we had a lot of fun with Quentin Tarantino. It was my favorite. We had a lot of fun with Quentin Tarantino movies. I mean, Rachel Nichols out of me.

We had a lot of fun with that episode yesterday, and I highly recommend watching today's episode of Football America. I would love to do that again. Just talk about Quentin Tarantino movies. Are you kidding me? I'd like to point out once again, my man like blinked for a second, and everyone took that to be he fell asleep. But I'm going to tell you were the worst.

By his reaction, you could tell he was asleep by his. I'm not asleep, I'm alert. It's because someone yelled at him. Why are you so invested in defending this behavior? Two reasons. One, because I have a champion for viral decontextualization dismantling. That's number one. Number two is because when I was in college, the semester I was like, I got to get my shit together.

I haven't, I'm going to, you know what? None of these late classes go in early morning classes. Sucker. Polly Sigh, 7.30 a.m. I said, I'm going to be there and I'm going to be attentive and I'm going to get good grades or whatever. And so the first, like, a couple of classes I would go, and I would kind of doze off sometimes. And then there was a class where I dozed off in the middle of class. And it's one of those, it's Pollyside one-on-one.

So it's like 300 students, massive auditorium. I woke up. The entire auditorium was empty. Save for three or four students at the front who are waiting to talk to the professor. And I'm sitting in the middle, the middle. So basically all around me, 360, were students getting up and collecting their things. 300 of them leaving did not stir. All I felt was a pool of drool on my shoulder.

And I never went back to that class. See, that's the way that's what I was just going to say. I never ran into problems like that because I didn't go to the classes in the first place. Okay. Is it worse? Again. Okay, so worst places to wake up after dozing off. After dozing off, excuse me.

Is that worse? And we just saw Aaron Glenn do to the combine. To me, the classic, all right, Mike Francesa, Sports Pope, WFAN, New York on Yes Network. This has got to be like a dozen years ago, I would say. a dozen maybe, yeah, about a dozen years ago. And here is, for the audio audience, Mike Francesa, it's on TV, it's on Yes Network. He has Sweeney Murdy, who's a Yankees reporter, on the phone with him. And Mike is listening and very clearly falls asleep live on television.

The Yankees took care of them pretty good, if I remember, in the end of that season, there was a three-game set, I think at Benway. another one of the Yankee Stadium, which they just kind of walked right through. But otherwise, the late season series. Look, look, look. Look, see, the shoulders getting weak. It's a very long page. And it's just not the case.

Oh, he's out right now for sure. Look, look. The page is very wide, too. Out. Oh, Arnold! The Yankees have been a little affected by the 10 pitchers lately. Where am I? I'm going to face two of them in the series.

So the matter what the rest of the team is like, where am I? These pictures hold the Yankees down. You know, you could be looking at a game where they might. That's going to 4 to 1. All right. We're talking with Sweeney, obviously. That is my all-time, obviously.

That is my all-time favorite. I don't like to work blue, but I do have at least one pal that I can think of who has. Actually, he says he fell asleep in Coitus, but then I've heard of the other way happening. I don't think you ever come back. She fell asleep? Yeah. So they both fell asleep? I happen to be, you may look at me and be surprised to hear this.

I happen to be a vigorous lovemaker, so that would never happen to me. Put that in the club? But if that did happen to you, I don't know that you ever come back. Didn't we decide earlier in the week that no one calls it making love? Why? That's not true. You're right. You're right. I'm trying to bring it back or try to make it a thing now.

We said no one asks someone else to make love. Oh, yeah, right. But you can be, as Damashik says, a vigorous lovemaker. That's the time. Thank you. That's one of the two things everybody knows about you, a vigorous lovemaker? I do. I'm a world champion

Connect 4 player, yeah. I see. Where do you start in the middle? Where do you throw first one? In the middle? You go wide? Yeah, you start. Sure, yeah.

You got to go, yeah. Down the middle? Yeah, that's one of the card. I like to go wide. Well, that's a mistake and you would lose very quickly. That's, you know, I bet you put the X in the middle and Ticktack Toe also. Yeah. No, that's not the correct strategy.

But either way, just so you know, should you and I ever find the occasion to play connect four, I only now play record. I only now play recreationally. I retired some years ago. There was nothing left for me to achieve in the sport that gave me a lot. And I felt that it was disrespectful for me to press on it, something less than my best. I gave everything I had and more to the sport. And it did a lot for me.

And I retire, I'll play it. I'll do exhibition. What did it do for you? No, he's spoken like a true goal, because I know every time Michael Jordan plays basketball, he just says, oh, yeah, I don't really do this anymore. This is just for fun. I don't care if you beat me. That's not how goats speak.

Goats say, I don't care if I'm in a wheel to it. You know, Michael Jordan will still kill you, though, right? Exactly. That's right. Oh, is that what you're saying? Is that what you're saying? Are you picking up what I'm laying down? Fake modesty over here?

No, it's not my. I just told you, you're not going to get 100%. Dave, the world champion three times over, connect four player. You're not going to get that version of Dave. A hundred percent, Dave, not handle. I got plenty to defeat you with, though. And Chris Cody, I mean, obviously, he's self-defeating. Doesn't take the middle.

Hey, it's Mike Ryan, and I want to talk to you about the random midweek hang that you have with your friends. Maybe it's an NBA game. You get a text, hey, come over. You want to watch the game, and maybe you're like, I don't know. I kind of just wanted to stay home. And then you think about it. After your buddy hits you up, and you know just the thing that'll make that regular hang, that regular midweek hang around the basketball game into a special time, into a Miller time. That's right. This happened to me just last week. I grabbed a six-pack of Miller Light, said I was on my way. And next thing you know, we're arguing about rotations like we're on the coaching staff, yelling about a miss call.

And the game's coming down to the final possession. It was one of those nights that you look around, you take a sip, and you think, yeah, this was the right call. And my friendship's stronger for it.

Stugats. Wow. Right there. They engraved. Really? They got that engraved? Yeah, they got an engraved. Right there, it says Chris Whittingham sucks ass.

This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats. Let's play another game, though. I'm a man of peace. And that said, I feel like we should bring two of the fellows behind the glass closer together by creating a division between them. Oh, I went in on this. T&T. I gave, I wanted to do Mr. Lister, trade back and forth. You say one and the other says one and you trade back and forth until one of you runs out.

I tried to do that with Tony and Chris Cody yesterday. Unfortunately, before it could get untracked. Chris Cody shouted lions repeatedly. Yeah, I kind of screwed that up. So you're now out forever. Instead, Tony's new ongoing foe. Yes, Mike Ryan. You're going to pit people against one another?

That's right. That's right. Oh, yeah. It's been a good week. Here we go. TNT first event, a never-ending decathlon. Or is it TVT? It's Tony.

V. Tash. Wow. In one corner. It's a tall. Cuban fella wearing a throwback Raiders jersey that says nothing about where they play because it doesn't make a difference. They're the Raiders forever.

In the other corner, it's a smaller Semitic fella wearing a shirt that looks like it came off of an Ottoman. It's Jeremy Cashet. Whoa. You can say it. And I will stand in the middle of just to represent the political spectrum. That's right. You're not closer to me than you are to him.

You'd be surprised. Can we get like some... We've got to get on that Cuban thing. Can we get some like music? Hey, I'm Cuban too. That pits these guys against each other? I'd like that. Can we get some music? Can we find pitting music?

Yeah. Music that portrays... Like a battle, you know? You don't even know what the category is. How do you know you're going to kick his ass? Doesn't matter. I just hope we both have fun. I think this...

I was meditating on what category and I think this suits you both and since I like to talk about football on Football America, that makes a sense to start there. Everybody knows about football. Here we go. Historical. A lot of names on this one.

Super Bowl losing starting quarterbacks. Tony, since you vanquished Cody with a plumb yesterday, you go first. Super Bowl losing starting quarterbacks. That's what I said. Let's not do the nonsense of vaping around and repeating the question. Drake May is a single. Everyone knows that trick. You say it again.

It gives you more time to think. That's right. I said the most recent one. Tom Brady. Tom Brady has lost more than one Super Bowl. In fact, a backup QB in one instance. Tony, you're up. Let's go with Jimmy Garoppolo.

Jimmy G. Lost to Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes has lost one. Let's go to Joe Burrow. I like the Let's Go. Jared Goff. Okay.

Let's go to Peyton Manning. Kurt Warner. Let's go to Can't make that Picksburg Steelers Let's go to Damarino Any boy Kurt Warner He said it he said it

He just said it What do we say? What do we say? I know Kurt Warner lost too You can't go You can't go to double up I can't no no no I can't Can I go double up thank you Matt Ryan

Oh you lost Tony won't You want to keep going Tony Just to Gilda Lillie a little bit See how far you can get Matt Ryan it and then it's a kind of kicking around my head. Can we go Cam Newton? Even.

You can go. Kurt Warner. In order, Len Dawson, Darrell LaMonica. In order. Wow. Earl Moore. So you wanted to make this year show. Okay. I thought it would be fun to show.

I called Jeremy. And now I'll stop, though. Can I take Colin Kaepernick? If it's beneath you to show off my wares, then I'll lay out. Can you take them? Nobody noticed. Would you? I did?

No. Excellent battle there, Tony. Not that good, Tashay. I told you I was going to kick his ass. I told you was going to kick his ass. It's like, you know, it's like, but you're trying to say something else and that somebody says something in there's trying to type,

and then all of a sudden you realize Rams Kerr-Whorner-O. Donald. Ben Rothesburger. Ben Rothesberger. Yeah, he lost Aaron. He lost Aaron. Oh, he did. Oh, did he?

You remember that? Dan Humphreys. See that game. You remember about like a home? Jordy Nelson. You know about that, Jordy Nelson? I listen. I know it all.

There's that Super Bowl history. My gimmick. What's that? James Jones? You know about that James Jones? That's my gimmick, too. James Starks? That was a bad team.

Yeah, not great. Yeah. Rashach Mendon all fumbled at the first play of the fourth quarter. I'm so mad at myself. I'm so mad at myself. He has three Lombardies in the span of six seasons. And then whether you like it or not is in the conversation for the best Super Bowl era quarterback. Roshchard doesn't get it.

But if he has three rings in his first six seasons, seasons. Oh, the train is rolling now. I'll keep going. Russell Wilson. Richard Mendenhall? I love it. I love that you can keep going. I'd like you to go with you know when you're typing. Someone says something out loud and you just type that. That's what happened to me with Kurt Warner. It just happened in my brain and I said it out loud. I was thinking about Rex Grossman. Just where the loss. Kilmer, precy. Yeah. I will never. Tarkington.

Vow. You didn't let me keep going. Because you lost. That's it. All right. Everybody's settled down. We'll play again in November. Everybody's settled down. Okay. So you know how sometimes pro sports teams, they'll do promotions, you know, at an upcoming game, they'll partner with maybe a local establishment or something, you know,

and they'll have a certain promotional night. Well, the Atlanta Hawks, you know about them Hawks, I mean? I know all about them Hawks. The Atlanta Hawks coming up, did you really? I worked for the Hawks. It was my first job in the NBA. Okay. All right.

The Atlanta Hawks coming up. On March 16th against the Orlando Magic, they have a promotional night where they are partnering with a very fine local establishment. All right. This local establishment is called Magic City. Yes. Now, I don't know, Dave Damasek.

Are you aware of Magic? Yeah. He answered it immediately. He heard they have good wings. Magic City, you may remember, very famous. It's a very famous, I'd say the most famous in these United States. Whoa. Yeah.

Starlets would like a word. No, it's more famous in Scalots by a mile, all right? Would you say it's the most famous Magic City? Montreal and Toronto may be more famous in North America. Montreal, incredible strip clubs. Spearmint Rino. We're not talking about the city. We're talking about the one establishment.

This is the most famous. Right, probably. Chris is very eager to play this game. Spearmint Rino in Vegas is strong. That's a good one. That's a good. Thank you. Now, was Magic City very famously the strip club in Atlanta where all the players got in

trouble and it was like Patrick Ewing back in the- That was Gold Club. Been there too. Okay, so it was not Magic City. Nonetheless. Tampa, you know about Tampa's clubs? Come on now.

You know about Mons? Mons v. You know about right across street? Space Odyssey. Come on. You ever go to spaceship? Does 11 count? Does 11 count?

It's in the conversation. I'm not going to let it count. Now, 11's a club that has strip. Yeah, I agree. I agree with you. Yeah, it's not a strip club. Magic City, very famously, is a strip club in Atlanta, which also

is very well known, as you may remember from back in the bubble in 2020 in the NBA playoffs where Lou Williams, he had an excused absence. I think he went to like a family event. I think it was a funeral. May have been a funeral. And he got in trouble because during this excused time off,

he went to Magic City for what he claims was just to order the lemon pepper wings. So, okay, so I'd like to defend him right here because he's not what he claims their wings are world-renowned. I, when I was in college, we used to go literally,

just for the food. Like, I'm hungry, what do you want? Let's get the wings from magic. And yeah, you look at what's happening. But once you get your order, you get your order and you leave. Yeah, the wings are tiny. So, so I've heard lemon pepper wings is an overrated flavor. Oh my God. This call me again. Whoa, whoa, whoa, white guys. What are you doing? Hold on. Then he mixed lemon pepper with barbecue. Did he? Lemon pepper is good to make. Oh, no, they created a flavor. Just solely lemon pepper. Since then, they created a little. Lemon pepper is the best flavor of wings in the planet.

That's silly. Okay. So if I can get back to. before we circle back to Magic City and how amazing it is clearly. The Atlanta Hawks have partnered for a promotional night with Magic City on March 16th

against your Atlanta Magic. It's Magic City Monday. That's a halftime show I can get behind. Where they are also giving away the video audience can see the promotional graphic here, where they're giving away a hooded sweatshirt with Magic City spread across the front and the Atlanta Hawks logo on the side. And they got

the wings in the background. And he got the wings right behind. So they're giving out wings? Oh, okay. So let me read the promotional material here. You can get, yeah, there you go. Okay, the promotional material that comes to it, Hawks fans are in for a feast. The Magic City Kitchen will be serving its world famous lemon pepper wings. Naturally, the menu will include Lou Will, lemon pepper barbecue, a nod to NBA player Lou Williams, who famously stopped by the joint to pick up some chicken, or so he says, while on approved leave. That's the prolete. from the NBA bubble. It's part of the, yeah, it says it.

Okay, so I like to, this is my camera right here, right? Okay, Atlanta, the Hawks organization, I worked for you guys. I got my start in the NBA working for your organization, had a wonderful time, got my foot in the door, and it was a memorable time. When I say, I need that hoodie right here, and I will wear it on the Dan Lovetard show, right here. Millions of listeners will see me wearing that hoodie. Promo department, marketing department, marketing, partnerships, whatever you need.

Do you need me to come to Atlanta? And support and do anything. I will do whatever it takes. Just give me the hoodie, please. I'd like one too. I mean, didn't you almost get killed by Rick Mahorn? Yes. What?

Yeah. In Atlanta, right? At a game. It was at a game. Like when he was on the Pistons broadcast. No, no, no. He was an assistant coach with the Hawks. Oh.

Yeah. So Rick Mahorn is the first NBA person ever knew in my life. Because I was walking in. It was my first day. I'm carrying boxes. And Rick Mahorn comes in. It's a game day. And he knocks the boxes everywhere.

Why do that? And I'm like, And I'm like, what the hell? How old are you? Probably like 19 or 20, something like that. Yeah, he starts laughing. I'm like, what a jerk. And then he would just mess with me.

After a while, I figured out, oh, wait, that's, he's, he's doing a thing. And so we became pretty good buddies. And so the end of the season, I think they had the fan appreciation day. They have the guys sign autographs to him because Rick Mohorn, the Hawks were awful. Rick Mahorn is legitimately one of the biggest names in the organization. That's so bad. So as an assistant coach, he's signing autographs, right? And they got the tables.

and the fans are lined up down the concourse down the stairs. So my job is kind of like crowd control. Just stand behind them, make sure people get one autograph and keep it moving. And we just played the cast. Paul Silas is a head coach. Paul Silas is a big dude, right? So Paul Seis walks up behind Mohorn and he goes to me, and I'm like, sure, whatever.

And I'm like, is he going to scare him, whatever? And he smacks the ever-loving bejesis out of the back of Rick Mohorn's head. I'm talking about, like the sound reverberated around the cavernous Phillips Center at the time, now State Farm Arena. And Mahorn turned around, and I've never seen him with that kind of rage in his eyes. And I realize he thinks that I did that. Why would he think that you did that?

That's what I wanted to know. Why would I do that? And then he looks and he sees Paul Silas and instantly all the rage drains out, and he starts laughing. And they hug and everything. Why would that be funny, no matter who did it? Here's my favorite book.

Going forward, don't hit me. And they expect me to laugh about it. Don't strike me. I said to him, oh, wait a second. You were about to kill me when you thought it was me. Well, Paul Silas, it's a big joke. And he says, Paul Silas is a bad dude. And I was like, you know what?

All right. Just love the idea that for a moment, Rick Mahorn thought randomly the kid, who I haze, decided to finally. To finally. To finally. To finally. Smack me. I like that Rick Mahorn, who's one of the great bullies in sports history, understood. And it's a great message.

to everybody who isn't as tough as Rick Mahorn is, like, know your limits. There's a level beyond me. I mean, I can destroy. Paul Silas, it's in doubt. Didn't Paul Silas stuff somebody in his locker? Tyrus Thomas. He was a big boy, too. Yeah, although I hear conflicting reports about how that went down. But yes, Paul Silas is a bad dude.

You getting started on the breakfast flan? Oh, man, I've been singing a song to myself all morning long. Breakfast flan, do, do, do not. Stugats. Have you never heard the breakfast flound song? No, hit me with it. Okay. I wish I had some breakfast flan.

Breakfast flound. Breakfast flound. Do da da da da da da da da da da Where can I find a breakfast like that This is the Dan Levitar show With the Stugats Have you ever heard of a professional sports team We're not talking minor league team

A professional sports team partnering With a local strip club for a theme night At a game No but Magic City is more than a street It's an institution. It's still a strip club. Yes, but it's an institution. And there's a level of, there's David Magic City waiting on his wings.

That's right. And they're not lemon pepper. You want to rank wing flavors? I don't want to rank. I just made a statement that I'm just asking. Then I'm going to let sit there. What's the REM of wing flavors? I like a, I like the, what they're doing.

They're doing a lot of great work these days with the Carolina mustard barbecue, you know? They've now, it's, what do you mean? No. Tangy, just a mouthful of tang? Mustard. Can have some spice. Yeah, the nice mustard. Yeah, the yellow mustard barbecue that's popular on Carolina-style barbecue.

So very obscure is your number one. That's obscure? It's an absolute. In defense of Dave, I did ask for the R-E-M of wing flavors. You think lemon pepper is more universally. I've never seen mustard as an option for a weight flavor. Can I get Carolina mustard blue? You know how?

I disagree. I mean, if you go with, you can get cute again and you can go hipster if you want. What are the core options? Hot garlic. There's traditional. Buffalo just hot. Buffalo wing. Then there's usually a spicy barbecue.

More and more they're doing like a terriarchy for the people that don't like it hot. Lemon pepper is not ubiquitous. It is. I think lemon pepper is like a core. Very common. You heard of lemon pepper, garlic parm. Lemon pepper is definitely in the rotation. prominent than even garlic parm, which is pretty prominent.

I think lemon pepper is like right there trying to overtake terriaki. Probably has. I agree. Lemon pepper has made a big push over the last decade or so. Listen. You know what hasn't made a push? You know what hasn't made a push? I mean, Carolina, barbecue, mustard, whatever.

Are you crazy? No push. You guys just keep just assuming that because you floated out there, that the rest of society is going to pick up on it and make it so. Judea put it on the ball. Well, Amin said it into a microphone, and so therefore it must be sucked. A mean doesn't have to say it. Everybody knows it.

Do you put it on the pole? What's bigger? Lemon pepper or Carolina barbecue mustard, whatever the hell Dave was talking about. I would like to try it, but no one's on your side here. You've never had Carolina Gold. Roy knows what I'm talking about. What would be the correct? I'm not really making much of a case when I can't even say what its proper name is.

I've had it on ribs. Yeah, it works for pork as well. Yeah. Yeah, I want to pick that personally. Yep, you're on your own. Your garage is empty. And Roy knows a wing and barbecue. You think I don't know wings?

I was in the BW3 before. You're about to give us bona fides? Before it was Buffalo Wild Wings, it was BW3. It was a regional wing place. All through it. Right. At Midwestern schools, I think there were six in total. Yes.

A lot of fireworks today. By the way, this microphone stands in her mind. Don't throw to it. Trust me. Just let it sit. But everybody's fighting and that's great. I went to BW3's. Bramington branch.

Sam doesn't eat wings because it gets his hands dirty. Attack him. And it was Monday. I don't care. They would have a Monday night wing eating contest. And the standard was, He eats like a four-year-old. Can you eat 50 wings in 15 minutes?

And I used almost every second in that first round. Really? But I survived. Yeah, to eat 50 and 15. Wings? 5-0 in 15 minutes. Oh, 5.0. Okay.

It took me, in fact, 14 minutes and 35 to complete the, to complete the, to complete defeat. That's impressive. Three weeks later, I was on to the second round. This time, 70 wings in 20 minutes. I bested my time on the 50 wings. I did better on the 70 because I'm clutch and also because there was no drug testing. Flats or drums? I'll go either one. I'm, you one of those guys, you put the whole thing in and just pull the bone out. Oh, can you do like the trick? I know what what you do is you take it from the top, the double wing, the double break it and you push it down. You just push it down. Turn it into like a, yep. Right. Yeah, little popper. Yeah. 70 wings in 14 minutes and 30 seconds.

Did the 70 faster. I did the 50 because like I say, no drug testing. Then on to the regional finals, however many wings you can eat in 30 minutes. I got my, my original batch of 50, ate a couple, gave the rest of my friends, and left a champion. We've criticized you a lot this week. That's genuinely impressive. Walked out like a good stuff. I knew I wasn't going to win. had nothing to prove. You said, guys. I mean, I knew what my limits were. Like Rick Mahorn, I turned around and saw the competition and said, I have no shot here. Zaz barely understands the conversation because he has no point of reference because he doesn't eat wings or rings. I don't like, I don't like, you know what,

I've gotten the same thing in old age, Zaz. I don't like that, like, Lady Macbeth can't wash the blood off her hands. I can't wash the smell of wings off my fingers. It's a great smell. It's gotten you that way in old age. At any age, he's never liked wings. He's never given it a chance because it's too dirty. Just living my life, dog. Whatever. Why don't you fork a knife it? A wing?

A wing? What's crazy he's not eating wings because it gets your hands dirty? You can fork a knife it. Whatever. There's so many other great foods. It's not that big of... I don't care. It's not a big deal to me.

What do you order in? Well, I can't tell you last time I went to hooters. I think it was with me. After a Pearl Jam show in Tampa, we went to see the NBA finals, Celtics Lakers. I don't even remember that. I remember the Pearl Jam. That was after you made me a sandwich for the car ride, which was It was very sweet.

All right. You know, I'm going to defend myself now. No, no need to defend that. It was super sweet. You're a Sammy maker? You made me a Sammy for the long road trip. What kind of sandwich wasn't? Tuna.

Who? You remember? No, window. Oh, that's not true. That's not true. That's diabol. In a car? Okay, here's what happened.

I think it was toasted. Toasted. Here's what happened. I would have thrown out the window. Because it wasn't just like, oh, Zaslo made sandwiches for the car ride. Oh, you had extra tuna. You had extra tuna. That's not what happened.

happened and Mike likes to frame it like the, or Mike leaves it completely ambiguous, so people frame it. Oh, we invited Zazlo for the road trip. He's going to bring sandwiches for the car. No, that's not the way it went down. I invited Mike Ryan, this is like 20 years ago. It was a long time ago. I invited Mike Ryan to come see Pearl Jam with me in Tampa, which, by the way, how about those seats? Great seats. King's of Leon open. Second row on the floor, all right? This is when Kings of Leon. We're starting to percolate. Yep, Kings of Leon open for them. Great show. And we're going to Tampa to go see Pearl Jam. But I told Mike Ryan, I'm like, look, you know, tickets are on me, of course.

But you'll drive. Okay. And he said, fine. And so he came to my house to pick me up. And he was like a few minutes early. And as a result of him being a few minutes early, I was still making myself lunch. I was making myself a tuna sandwich. Sounds like he's going to bring sandwiches.

That I was going to sit down at my kitchen table and eat by myself. But since he was early, I'm going to have to bring the sandwich in the car now. Oh, but that's rude if I only have a sandwich for myself. It really wasn't. Right. So I made him a tuna sandwich as well. Weird. And I got into the car with a sandwich for me and a sandwich for my friend.

And the way the story was told is that we had a great time and Zaslo made tuna sandwiches. Sounds like you described that exact thing. How's your tuna? I don't know. Is it McConaughey level? I don't, I don't, it was, it's fine. I remember it was toasted. I don't remember that part.

I honestly don't even remember driving. That part kind of threw me. I've got Zad just scooping it onto the bread and I say, here's your tuna sandwich. I can't see you actually making a good sandwich. I think my initial reaction was like, you really don't have to do that. But it was a very kind of gesture. I already did. We were in the car.

I know you, you know Mike Ryan better than I do. Are you, what I'm clearly picking up, Zaz, is that you think Mike Ryan's words are betrayed by his tone? Maybe. you think he implies. Somehow you're a sucker. So, like, people that make sandwiches for car rides or suckers, you're very sensitive about this. Because I said that Zaz made me a sandwich and it was a very nice thing to do.

I know I'm picking up a mocking tone, Zaz. I'm sorry to your turn to the tone. He wants to make it sound like if we bring Zaslo places, he'll make sandwiches for the entire car. Well, I guess the real test is, now I'm going to inform what you do in the future. but if roles were reversed or in an upcoming show, is Mike Ryan going to bring a sandwich for Zaz?

No, I... Oh, you're right, Zaz, because it's peculiar. If you're known as a sandwich maker, though, that's a positive Zaz. If I have a bunch of friends and I know this guy's going to make a maker. Mike Ryan just said it, though. He's like, that's beneath me. No, I wouldn't do that for Zazzo. You just said that.

That's not what peculiar means. I said it's peculiar. You just said you wouldn't do it. No. Honestly, the only part that's peculiar is the tuna part. That's crazy. In a car? That's evil.

I get it. You didn't plan to do it in the car. Yeah. This was not planned. I mean. A nice little turkey and cheese with a little mail. Like that, we're talking. I'm growing up.

I don't like when. It's a kid's lunch. I don't like when people make sandwiches for the gang and they put mayonnaise on all of them. Don't, let's not be perception. He cut it in half. Don't do it. Diagonal? Oh, no.

I think it was a roll. My guess is it was a roll. I think I was making on like a Kaiser. He's like, you want the crust? I, for one, think it's a nice. Of course. I think it's really a nice thing to do, even if Mike Ryan wants a mock. I know it's a nice thing to do.

But what I don't like is that he's having his cake and eating it too, Mike Ryan, which that cliche should really be changed. He wants to have his cake and some pie, because that's really gluttony. If you give me a cake, I'm going to eat it. And if you attack me for, like, do you go, I gave him a cake and he ate it. What a slob. Like, yeah, that's what's going to go on. That's a very eccentric room that we have over there on that side of the class.

I think it's outrageous. I think it's outrageous that you stand here and look a gift horse, a literal gift horse, in the mouth and say, tuna toasted? I'm a gift horse. Peculiar. That's your response. Peculiar? Not thank you, sir.

It was thank you. It was a nice gesture and I ate the sandwich. And then I took a picture of it and put it in the group chat. And now for dessert, and now for dessert, you're trying to serve them some humble pie or I don't know what you're trying to give them. You're trying to turn them into a punch. line for being a good person. I was like, hey, look at this. BBMed. Yeah, here's the kicker. We had a great time. Okay, we had a great time. I took him to Pearl Jam. I made him, I made him a sandwich on our car right there. I think we probably

split the hotel. I can't imagine that I paid for that whole thing. But we had a great time. It was. And when we get back, yeah, we're kids back then. You know if you own room. We worked in radio. Yeah, we had 20 years ago. Okay. We had 16 years ago. Okay, okay. What are you talking? It was one bet. Right now? My PD kept stealing my invoices. Her and Dave does not share a hotel room with any man.

No, of course not. Of course not. Because of all the years that you had a crash on someone else's, like, rug. We were so young and poor. Okay, I forgot what period of time. Do you forget radio? We had a great time. And I figured, you know what my thank you will be?

Maybe the next day on the very popular Dan Levitard show with Stu Gatz. Maybe they'll have a conversation. about that nice Jewish boy Jonathan Zaslow who took our producer Mike Ryan to a Pearl Jam show. And not just that. They had second row on the floor. I didn't know where you were going.

What a great time. What a great time. Poor on the floor. Instead, I turn on the radio and the conversation is how when you take a car ride with Zaslo, he makes tuna sandwiches for everyone. turned you into some kind of an ass.

Well, that's because I BBM'd Hock a photo of the sandwich. And he's like, this is strange. I'm like, yeah, a bit peculiar. You gave him a nice pat on the back, and what did he say he accused you putting a knife into his back? It's outrageous. I will say, though, like, I like Pearl Jam because his ass.

I wasn't a Pearl Jam guy. He knew that, but he knew I'd be like a good hang for a concert. He introduced me to Pearl Jam and Kings of Leon, who I wasn't up on at the time. I'm grateful for that. Kings of Leon is that? around. Yes, actually.

Yeah, that's the one. And I'm on the, boom. They sound just like that.
