Hour 2: Gino Fuentes' Unacceptable Socks

Speaker 1 Folks, losing at fantasy football has consequences.

Speaker 1 It really does. I mean, a new tattoo, a bad haircut, waffle challenges.

Speaker 1 Now is a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila.
Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo.
Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 1 Well, I do know that to be true, but even during the ad reads, like, Cuervo, I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Speaker 4 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 1 Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.
Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.
Cuervo. Cuervo.
The tequila that invented tequila.

Speaker 6 This is the Dan Labator Show with the Stoogats Podcast.

Speaker 6 Against the spread. Against the spread.

Speaker 1 Against the spread. Against the spread.
Against the spread. Against the spread.
Against the spread, presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
Roy, what do you got?

Speaker 1 All right, we got Blue Jays and Pirates. Today, Toronto has had four straight games that went under the total run line versus the National League Central.

Speaker 1 The Blue Jays have won seven straight road games in Pittsburgh. It's Kevin Gossman versus Paul Skeen.
Skeens

Speaker 1 five straight home games without allowing an urban run. His 213 ERA leads Major League Baseball.
He has a 252 fielding independent pitching stat. All right.

Speaker 1 Preventing home runs, limiting walks, not hitting batters, and causing strikeouts. He's had 35 strikeouts these last five games and only half a home run

Speaker 1 per nine innings. That leads National League.
So, those Pirates,

Speaker 1 they are underdogs. They are underdogs by a run and a half goal with them today.

Speaker 1 Against

Speaker 1 the spread. The spread.
Tony, what do you got? Tonight, guys, we've got a masterful QB matchup in preseason NFL. We've got potentially Josh Johnson versus Desmond Ritter.

Speaker 1 Do you guys know what teams are even playing if I mention those two quarterbacks?

Speaker 3 NFL.

Speaker 1 Zaz, you're there. You're right there.
Commanders. Okay.
And

Speaker 1 Bengals. Okay.

Speaker 1 Are you looking at my screen? No. I just remember that

Speaker 1 Josh Johnson was a commander last time. Yeah.
And you knew Desmond Ritter was a Bengal? And I saw a preview for Monday Night Football with his Commander's Bengals.

Speaker 1 Wow. Well,

Speaker 1 or I'm just that smart. You're just that smart.

Speaker 1 The Bengals, minus three and a half.

Speaker 1 You get tickets for that game at $11.

Speaker 1 I'm telling you, go to game time. Figure it out.

Speaker 1 I'm taking the Bengals.

Speaker 1 Desmond Ritter and Deb Boys.

Speaker 1 What's going on with Trey Hendrickson, huh?

Speaker 1 You trying to trade him now?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, it's a big deal about it. You figure to come to camp, you don't get paid.

Speaker 1 You get Cincinnati, he goes to Jacksonville, then he comes back, doesn't participate in anything, he's still not getting paid. Now they're going to trade him, maybe?

Speaker 1 What are you going to get for him? He's going to shape two to get ready to play a game in a couple weeks.

Speaker 1 Interesting.

Speaker 1 I don't like it.

Speaker 1 But I like them.

Speaker 1 Do Haywood Highsmiths grow on trees?

Speaker 1 No. We have to parse what was actually fact, what was fiction.
Haywood Highsmith Smith was a valued part that was initially reported to, no, no, no, no, no, we're not going to offer him for KD.

Speaker 1 That's going too far. No way that was true.
Then it was later clarified after certain people that cover the Miami Heat heard back from the Heat. And in no way is this propaganda.
They cleared it up.

Speaker 1 I know it's good journalism, but the franchise maintained that the narrative that they didn't want to part with Haywood High Smith, that's a load of baloney.

Speaker 3 Like, I got a lot of that over the weekend.

Speaker 7 This was the guy that the Heat wouldn't have parted with for Kevin Durant.

Speaker 3 Like, come on, Kevin.

Speaker 1 You have to understand that was initially reported.

Speaker 1 So, I understand why people are of that impression. I ran with it for a while, but then I saw Barry's report that that wasn't the case.

Speaker 1 Why would you run with that?

Speaker 3 You guys know why? Because the apology is never as loud as the insult.

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 1 Sham Shraney is

Speaker 1 got a good reputation.

Speaker 7 But you know, he's not always 100% accurate.

Speaker 3 That's what I've been trying to explain to people, man. None of these guys are infallible.
Sometimes reports are wrong. It's not that the guy is an idiot or he made up a story or whatever.

Speaker 3 Sometimes his sources are wrong.

Speaker 1 Well, let's not get that. We have the strongest indicator yet that that was a false narrative and that Haywood High Smith was just traded for nothing.

Speaker 3 Literally nothing. He wasn't traded for nothing.

Speaker 3 A heavily protected second-round pick. That's not what they traded him for.
That's what they got for him. That's not what they traded him for.

Speaker 7 They traded him for True Smith. Is that what you want to say?

Speaker 1 They traded him to get under the cap so they don't have to spend more money, which is not what I want to to hear from my team ownership crew. Why either? Spend money.

Speaker 1 I don't give a shit about your money. Go sell a couple extra cruises, Mickey.
I don't care how much it costs you. Put a winning product on this court already.

Speaker 3 It's not about the money.

Speaker 3 It's actually more about trying to put a winning product on the floor.

Speaker 1 Because the luxury tax inhibits a team's ability to make money. They do shit.

Speaker 3 Exactly. So by going under the apron, now they're able to be active between now and the trade deadline.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I gotta get Kevin Duran when he's 55 years old. How do I give a shit about their future plans? I want to back up Billy here.

Speaker 1 So much has made Heat fans love celebrating the team getting under the apron.

Speaker 1 They love it. I'm not really sure how much it's benefited us in terms of their ability to make moves that help the team.

Speaker 1 It's just something that Heat fans love to celebrate, and the actual situation might just be the owner wants to save some Mike. How about

Speaker 3 you like ice cream?

Speaker 1 Occasionally, it depends on how many milligrams

Speaker 3 let's just assume in a world where your gut cooperates you like ice cream yes right

Speaker 3 is it possible you got that bad gut i feel like ice cream today

Speaker 3 and you leave your house but things happen and you never actually get any ice cream that could happen right

Speaker 3 so in that case you didn't get any ice cream but You gave yourself a chance to get ice cream as opposed to sitting your ass at home as a freedom-loving American.

Speaker 1 I love that I can get ice cream whenever I want. Exactly.
I'd rather buy ice cream and have it melt than the idea of I can get ice cream if I wanted to get ice cream.

Speaker 7 The equivalent here I mean would be if you always, every year, have the opportunity to get ice cream, but you never actually get it.

Speaker 3 That's a long line. But you see,

Speaker 1 there's ice cream costs, so we should feel good about it.

Speaker 3 There's a long line, but ice cream.

Speaker 3 Tariffs on ice cream.

Speaker 3 Yeah, they're tariffs on the ice cream. The NBA tax laws have ceased to be about money.

Speaker 1 And they're all about, can I do stuff now? It's about roster building.

Speaker 3 It's about roster building. And it's like, you can pay the tax, but basically, the way the tax rules work, they're letting you know you better love this team now.

Speaker 3 Because if you're not in love with this team, you're locked in. You're locked into this and you have no hope of adjusting or very little hope versus being a team with the flexibility.

Speaker 3 Again, yes, that doesn't guarantee that you'll get something done, but it allows you at least to be a player in that regard.

Speaker 7 But I understand the Heat fans' frustration with, again, moving on from a player a couple of days ago and Haywood Highsmith, who was a star, who was a starting caliber player for you.

Speaker 7 And it's to make sure you have the flexibility. And the counter to that from Heat fans would be, that seems to be their MO every year is we want flexibility.
All right, well,

Speaker 7 when are we going to push the chips to the middle of the table with that flexibility?

Speaker 3 I'm going to give you a great example of the last time they didn't opt for the flexibility. Can I interest you in Hassan Whiteside for $90 million? Can I interest you in Deion Waiters and James?

Speaker 3 That was the last time they were like, but these guys are good for us and oh, we got to pay them. Oh, forget about flexibility.
Forget about trying to be flexible. That's what happened.

Speaker 3 The idea is that, look, I like Haywood Heismith. You're right.
Good starting caliber player. The reality is, Mike started the segment with what question? Do Haywood Heismith grow on trees?

Speaker 3 For many franchises, no. For the Miami Heat, absolutely they do.

Speaker 1 Here's where I get a little bit bothered.

Speaker 1 That's on the organization. Don't trust us with the flexibility because we're just going to do the Deion Hassan Whiteside thing.
Like, that's a cautionary tale.

Speaker 1 But Bob can't be trusted with this flexibility.

Speaker 3 Trusted with it. The idea is that this is a good player, but eminently replaceable.

Speaker 1 Super.

Speaker 3 So I can continue this game of go get the next Haywood Highsmith and get him cheap and keep this flexibility for the opportunity to go out and build.

Speaker 7 Again, I don't think, maybe I'm not portraying my thoughts here properly.

Speaker 7 I'm not upset with them moving on from Haywood Highsmith because, like you said, stop giving the multi-year deals to guys who you could find more.

Speaker 7 I get that. The problem is, it's like, okay, all I hear every year is flexibility.
Flexibility, flexibility.

Speaker 3 But when are we going to do something? But that's my point.

Speaker 3 You're behaving as though they are not trying.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, no, I get that.

Speaker 3 But the reality is, it's not unilateral. I don't just get to dictate, hey, man, you won't play for us now.
Right.

Speaker 1 There's other teams involved.

Speaker 3 There are other people, agents, and players. And you do what you can.

Speaker 1 Tough shit.

Speaker 7 Figure it out.

Speaker 3 That's what they're saying.

Speaker 7 No, figure it out.

Speaker 1 Figure it out. Oh, we got Hayward Highsmith.
Look, we developed him. Great.
Now he's gone. Oh, Duncan Robinson.
We developed him. Now he's gone.

Speaker 1 Oh, Max Strews, we developed him. Now he's gone.

Speaker 7 The counter to that would be Boston seems to make big moves every year. Milwaukee seems to make big moves every year.

Speaker 3 How is that working out for them?

Speaker 1 But hey, they won their night.

Speaker 7 They're trying.

Speaker 1 And it got undone by, you know, what was going on in Damian Lillard's personal life and injury.

Speaker 1 But they were going for it, and you're sitting back and watching a team like Indiana make the finals when they went for it with Pascal Siakam. Like, get the Whales.

Speaker 1 Let's try to improve on a roster that made it to

Speaker 1 an NBA Finals twice in three years. I understand that to the dude.

Speaker 3 Indiana's a better example than

Speaker 3 Knicks, too.

Speaker 1 They made an aggressive move.

Speaker 3 But to me, Cleveland. But some of these moves are silly aggressive.
They're moves just to say that we did a move.

Speaker 3 And Mikhail Bridges for 7 million first-round picks. That's not good.
That's not good.

Speaker 1 Scared money don't make money.

Speaker 1 Listen, I would rather the Heat win a championship and the result is Mickey Harrison goes bankrupt than Mickey Harrison keeps money and we keep not winning a championship. Precisely.

Speaker 1 Zagak, I understand we established that there was this false narrative around Haywood High Smith

Speaker 1 going too far

Speaker 1 to include into the Kevin Durant deal. But for whatever reason,

Speaker 1 And I do think that Heat fans do deserve this reputation nationally is because there's a lot of people that get excited about hey would highsmith right even though he's the same age as bam on a bio and we kind of know what he is but do you agree with raymond green when he took the threads and said y'all

Speaker 1 and then parenthetically internet experts wanted jimmy to come off the bench behind dude and five months later the heat traded him for a bag of chips

Speaker 1 that's wild shut up i don't think it was i don't think we went that far who wanted that I don't know.

Speaker 3 But if it goes back to what we were talking about earlier, where it's like with the Deran Gabriel thing about, what are you talking about?

Speaker 1 This feels like something coming from Jimmy, though, right? He was teammates with Jimmy. But I'm just like,

Speaker 1 Draymond is not following this drama this closely.

Speaker 7 It's like Draymond doesn't add the part with, yeah, we wanted him to come off the bench because, you know, he wasn't trying anymore. But that part, no, no, no, it's just Haywood High Smith's better.

Speaker 7 That's why. They thought Hayward Heismith was a better player.
So that's why they were starting over Jimmy. Not because Jimmy was sabotaging the team.

Speaker 1 Shut up. Shut up.
What are they waiting to do? Because like Norman Powell was the move, which isn't a nothing move. Like, that's a good move, but like what are we loading up? What's the next move?

Speaker 1 What are they saving money for? Did you see the detail with Norman Powell? He negotiated with Haywood Highsmith for his jersey number. Yeah, that's hard times.

Speaker 1 How much you give him? I don't know what he got him, but he gave him something. He wants half whatever he gave him.
No refunds. No refunds on that deal.
Yeah, that's no refunds.

Speaker 6 All these high-paid analysts, I don't want to mention names, TNT,

Speaker 6 ESPN, you know, oh yeah,

Speaker 6 they are dead. They cannot,

Speaker 6 they are not going to make it, you know. Even if they win in,

Speaker 6 if they lose in Miami, I need to calm you down.

Speaker 1 I know. I try.

Speaker 6 If they lose in Miami, they don't got a chance in Boston. Oh, they are going to have their ass, you know what, in Boston, you know.

Speaker 1 Stugats.

Speaker 6 They were were wrong. They were, are they going to lose a job? No.
Are they going to get a cutting paint? No. What are they going to do? Keep predicting what is the obvious.

Speaker 6 They're going to say, oh, the Nogats are going to win. Oh, Denver, the altitude.
And you know what? The Heat are going to win it all.

Speaker 1 This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats.

Speaker 3 Speaking of narratives that were out there, there's a narrative, Mike, that I'm looking at you right now, and I'm not happy with you at all. A narrative that Boardwalk Empire sucks after season two.

Speaker 3 I'm watching it dog.

Speaker 1 It's a bad take. I'm into season three now, man.

Speaker 3 It's a horrible take.

Speaker 1 I did some digging on this because there were some people that felt as strongly as you did. I tried to keep going with it.
I didn't. I liked the character in question too much.
I could not go on.

Speaker 1 I thought it was a mistake. And then apparently the actor that I'm referring to here, if you didn't watch it.

Speaker 7 I looked up some of the stuff with him too, since you told me this last week.

Speaker 1 It seems as though the producers of Boardwalk Empire had their reasons to kill off this character so they didn't have to deal with the actor.

Speaker 1 And much like Haywood Highsmith, the actor's been around and available to do other stuff, and it doesn't seem like other people were in on this actor.

Speaker 7 Yeah, like, you're all right.

Speaker 3 Not, not, I gotta stop my life to keep you on this show. And by the way, you dipped out.
Were you around for Jip Rossetti?

Speaker 1 He wasn't, which is great. That's not watching.
He got a gun.

Speaker 1 He got a gun. Everybody got a gun.

Speaker 3 Oh, man.

Speaker 3 That's amazing. We go as he stopped at the diner, and it says, he looks at the menu: spaghetti with red sauce.

Speaker 1 What's that?

Speaker 3 Oh, Portlock Hen Park, great show.

Speaker 7 I don't understand. Like, you stopped watching during the season when seemingly every episode, Gretchen Maul is naked.

Speaker 1 Why would you stop watching that? I didn't dislike point for that. I wasn't like, this girl's too naked.
Mr. Connor.
That wasn't.

Speaker 7 What a comeback, by the way, from Gretchen Maul. She goes from

Speaker 7 rounders with the most dislikable character you've ever seen on movies.

Speaker 7 And all of a sudden, I love every episode she's in in this Boardwalk Empire.

Speaker 1 Hated her in Rounders. Horrible characters.
I've got some bad takes, I'm capable of them. I don't like the wire.

Speaker 1 What? I try to give 61 of the wire a chance. I saw the whole thing, and everyone says, like, you know, it's a slow build.
I didn't like that.

Speaker 1 That type of technology was antiquated back when it was made.

Speaker 3 That was the point. That was how they got around

Speaker 3 wiretaps. I couldn't do it.
The whole point is that they were using it and outdated technology.

Speaker 1 I'm so hyped. I just couldn't.
At a certain point, I'm like, I'm just going to live my life understanding that I gave this a shot and it's not for me. Not unlike Bob Dylan.

Speaker 1 Not unlike Bruce Springsteen. I tried it.
It's just not for me, but I understand why people like it. Just not for me.
I'm not making you feel bad if you like it. I really like it.

Speaker 1 It's really great television, man. And Boardwalk Empire is the same way.
I just like this one character too much.

Speaker 7 My name was on the street. My name's my name.

Speaker 1 On the other side of the coin, like history has decided that True Detective Season 2 is bad, and I like True Detective.

Speaker 7 I like True Detective Season 2.

Speaker 1 I like Season 2.

Speaker 3 I do. I think Season 2 struggles from the same thing Godfather 3 struggles from.
I went back and after I was on a couple weeks ago, I watched Godfather 3 again. It's a good movie.

Speaker 1 That movie sucks.

Speaker 3 No, nope. It's a good movie.

Speaker 3 Its biggest sin is it's not the Godfather 1 or 2.

Speaker 7 You think if you watch that as a standalone movie, it's a good movie? Yes.

Speaker 3 Yes. I watched it as a standalone movie.
I was like, this is a good movie.

Speaker 7 What's her name? Sophia Cobla. Terrible actress.

Speaker 1 I like her. It was bad.
You know what I'm doing a a rewatch of? What's that? The director's cut of Miami Vice.

Speaker 3 With Jamie Foxx?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Jamie Fox and Colin Farrell.

Speaker 1 The lure, there's that word again.

Speaker 1 Behind this movie was...

Speaker 1 In the original adaptation of the, well, not the original adaptation, the Michael Mann version, Jamie Foxx is not, Ricardo Tubbs is not in it as much as you would think.

Speaker 1 And it's because there was an article written on this. Jamie Foxx legit left the production production for a little bit because of how crazy Michael Mann's style was.
It was a very dangerous,

Speaker 1 they had a very scary situation on one of the locations because Michael Mann's very authentic ones wants to get in there. Director's Cut, I'm enjoying it.

Speaker 1 It has one of the worst sex scenes I've ever seen, but it was like realistic, not Hollywood. I mean, the specialists.

Speaker 3 Do they still go to Cuba for some mojitos?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I know where we can get a good mojito. Yeah, dude, Colin's fighting for his life with whatever accent that is.

Speaker 1 I'm at the scene now where they're trying to prove that they're not cops to the drug dealer that's looking for a drug runner, but they're pointing the finger back. How do we know you're not a cop?

Speaker 1 Are you wearing a wire? They pull guns on him, and then Crockett just takes out a hand grenade in his hand. Like, wow, what a move! Mutually assured destruction.

Speaker 1 He just casually leaves his home with a hand grenade at all times.

Speaker 1 Why didn't that come up in the frisk?

Speaker 3 Speaking of Miami Vice, I learned yesterday that Golden Girls was a joke about Miami Vice.

Speaker 3 At the upfronts, NBC was coming out, and they had two comedians dressed as old ladies talking about, I thought the show was called Miami Nice. Wouldn't that be nicer? Or whatever.

Speaker 3 And in the crowd was Brandon Tartakov, who's the head of NBC, and he was like, yo, that actually would be a really good idea.

Speaker 3 Why don't we have a Miami Nice show with old ladies as opposed to like drug dealers and stuff? And that's how Golden Girls started.

Speaker 1 You mentioned that, and I saw that one of John Stamos' requests to play Riot Fest is to have a nude portrait of B. Arthur, which is a callback, I think, to Airheads when they got

Speaker 3 one of the list of demands.

Speaker 1 Yeah, John Samos put out his full list of demands for him to play Riot Fest, and some of the requests are wild.

Speaker 3 That's just to see if they're reading it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's going to show up, but he's requested for a full body pillow of Jon Samos, which make that available for public consumption, depending on the whole tariff situation. Buku bucks.

Speaker 3 A body pillow, like the pregnancy pillow?

Speaker 1 Full body pillow of Jon Samos.

Speaker 1 Also, the founder of Riot Fest has to get a John Samos tattoo.

Speaker 3 That's one of the writers?

Speaker 1 John Samos reserves a right to call it Riot Fart whenever he wants.

Speaker 3 This isn't real. Okay, this is.

Speaker 1 This is real. No.
This is all. Real or fake demands.

Speaker 3 Let's play that game.

Speaker 3 Real or fake demands. No, where is this?

Speaker 3 Where'd you see this?

Speaker 1 I think this is Riot Fest Chicago. Riot Fest themselves, I think, put this out with Jon Samos on a collab.

Speaker 1 I'm going to find it. I'm like a dog with a bone on this one.

Speaker 3 We were having

Speaker 1 a big debate out.

Speaker 3 Well, not a debate, actually. We had a witch hunt out in the common area over here because it became apparent that Gino Fuentes

Speaker 3 has unacceptable socks.

Speaker 1 How so?

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 they need to choose a side is what they need to do.

Speaker 3 This is where socks have gotten to, Roy.

Speaker 3 You can wear like the no-show or the ankle ones that are just below the arc of your shoe. So, kind of like the socks that Chris has on.

Speaker 1 Which I think is what was popular when we were

Speaker 1 like we grew up with like the night, the tight socks around the ankle where you don't really see them.

Speaker 3 You can kind of see them. Kind of see them.

Speaker 1 They're no-show ankle socks is what they are.

Speaker 3 I mean, there's one that's even lower than that that looks weird. I hate those.
I hate those two. But like, that was the acceptable one like 10 years ago or whatever.
They're acceptable now.

Speaker 3 They're not the normal.

Speaker 1 They're not in, trust me. I know from all the Tony's, the Taylor

Speaker 3 kids these days. You're fine.
You're fine. Okay, thank you.
Crew socks, fine as well.

Speaker 1 But it depends on the pants that you're wearing, right? Like, I'm wearing jeans, so my socks are longer as opposed to. Are there any rules when you're wearing jeans?

Speaker 3 No, no. I think you can't wear low socks when you're wearing jeans for sure.
But like, you can wear the crew socks like you're wearing, Roy, even with shorts on, right?

Speaker 3 What you cannot do is this halfway crook shit that Gino Fuente has. We We got to see it.

Speaker 1 Let's go, video. We need a shot of it.

Speaker 3 We need a shot of Gino. Well, Jason has them on, too.

Speaker 3 They're both sock violators. Look at this.
Show us some socks. I see.

Speaker 3 You see how that is? It's not an ankle sock. It's not a crew sock.

Speaker 1 It's not even a quarter. It's not a quarter.

Speaker 3 I don't know what it is.

Speaker 1 One eighth? It's one eighth. What is that? I don't like it.

Speaker 3 I don't like it either. And

Speaker 3 I found out, like,

Speaker 3 it wasn't Gino. Like I said, Jason, you can switch that camera.

Speaker 1 It's a video room problem.

Speaker 3 It's a video room problem.

Speaker 1 Probably Lewis, probably the same thing.

Speaker 1 If you're in high tops, this wouldn't be a situation. Jason, we don't want to see your shoe, buddy.

Speaker 1 There you go. Now you're going to figure it out.
There you go. Yeah, that's it.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 work hard. Work smart.
Not hard.

Speaker 1 Both unbranded, small, not long, but not shit. And Lewis has the same thing.
We don't have to look. Yeah.

Speaker 3 But also, I'm going to put Jason double trouble here. The color also.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the white. Oh, yeah.
It's like a gray. It's like white.

Speaker 1 It's all white. Is that the color?

Speaker 3 Faded. That's the color, man.

Speaker 1 Those are jean socks.

Speaker 3 Those are gene socks. Those are not socks.

Speaker 1 Doing a wash with dark pants or something. I have the full list of demands from John Samos.
I have confirmed this has been a collab from Riot Fest and John Stamos on official media channels.

Speaker 1 Riot Mike, the founder of Riot Fest, must get a John Samos tattoo. A John Samos look-alike contest must be hosted by Riot Fest.

Speaker 1 A local Chicago pizza restaurant must create a Greek-style pizza named and in honor of John Stamos.

Speaker 1 John Samos' green room must be stocked with these following items: A body pillow of John Stamos, a nude painting of B. Arthur, unlimited hummus served in a Gibson guitar case.

Speaker 1 The Riot Fest Twitter person must give John Stamos a foot rub. A special John Samos Riot Fest t-shirt must be designed and approved by John Stamos.

Speaker 1 No one is allowed to make eye contact with John Samos's hair. Whenever John Samos says Riot Fest, he is allowed to say Riot Fart.
John Samos' mask must be printed out for the crowd to wear.

Speaker 1 Over the next few weeks and lead up to the festival, we at Riot Fest will make every effort to compete to complete this list of demands from Mr. John Samos so he can be in attendance.

Speaker 3 I hate when people try to be cute, man.

Speaker 1 You don't like Riot Fart? Stop being cute. He's going to be there.

Speaker 3 Just, just, yeah, you're going to be there. Oh, wouldn't we be funny guys if we put this out?

Speaker 1 Oh, dorks. I think this all comes, the Beach Boys are playing, and he's the occasional drum player for the Beach Boys.
Yes, real life. You haven't known that about him? No.
He'll play.

Speaker 1 Didn't they do like a Marlins Super Saturday concert where John Samos was a drummer for the Beach Boys? I think he might have just showed up, yeah, and he performed with the Beach Boys.

Speaker 1 He liked Moonlights as a Beach Boy member. So I think the Beach Boys played a Riot Fest quite a few number of years ago, and Jon Samos wasn't drumming.
And since then, the people that follow and

Speaker 1 patronize Riot Fest, they've been demanding to see the Beach Boys with Jon Samos.

Speaker 4 Timeout.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 3 these listed demands are for him to show up to be with the Beach Boys?

Speaker 1 That's right.

Speaker 3 I'm sorry. You don't get to make those demands.

Speaker 1 He's making it all about himself.

Speaker 3 You're not, this is the Beach Boys, Boys, man. Oh, he's been with the Beach Boys.

Speaker 1 Are you confused?

Speaker 3 No, I'm not confused.

Speaker 1 They're welcoming. They've welcomed him many times.

Speaker 3 But you don't get to.

Speaker 3 This is some star behavior shit, man.

Speaker 1 Isn't this the crowd fans that are clamoring for this? This isn't Stamos demanding I'm going to be with them.

Speaker 1 No, this is Stamos making illicit demands.

Speaker 3 Illicit demands. Because he's wanted.
Wait, hold on. It's like Kevin Love's uncle, is he making those demands? No, he's not.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, other guy's gone. How many Beach Wars are there still?

Speaker 3 Great question. I don't know if Kevin Love's Uncle is alive.

Speaker 1 They just lost one like a couple weeks ago.

Speaker 3 Was it Kevin Love's uncle?

Speaker 1 They're just keeping the money going at this point. Sell some merch.
Have Samos there. Now Samos is probably like

Speaker 1 the guy.

Speaker 3 He's the lead. He's the

Speaker 1 attraction? No, there was that other guy, the guy that wore, you know, those Peaky Blinders hats. I love Al

Speaker 3 Peaky Blinders hats.

Speaker 1 I believe there's two left. Yeah, right now there, Wikipedia says there's two members, Mike Love and Bruce Johnson.

Speaker 3 There you go. That's Kevin Love's uncle.

Speaker 8 Al Jardine's gone.

Speaker 1 Okay. So Brian Wilson was the latest.

Speaker 3 Brian Wilson was on the peso.

Speaker 1 It's a big deal. So now you're getting to the point where the Beach Boys kind of need John Samos.

Speaker 3 So this thing though. Is this turning like the Temptations was just a bunch of dudes that just show up and none of them were actually in the Temptations? Oh, the OJs? Yeah, the OJs, yeah.

Speaker 3 Like you just have a bunch of people like, yeah, we're the OJs. Like, no, you're not.

Speaker 1 You're just some dude.

Speaker 1 But this partnership among the Beach Boys and Samos is 30 years old.

Speaker 3 I get it.

Speaker 1 Remember, they partnered up on forever.

Speaker 3 Sure. Does he get to dictate this way? Let me put it this way.

Speaker 1 Stamos is making the debate.

Speaker 3 If Mike Love ain't getting that, you don't get it. How about that? If Mike Love don't get it, you don't get it.

Speaker 3 You gotta check with Mike Love. Hey, Mike, we getting the hummus? Mike, nah, I'm good on hummus.
Guess what? No hummus for Stamen.

Speaker 3 Statham Stammos. Stamen.
Stamos. Hummus.

Speaker 3 Right?

Speaker 3 That's the way it should work.

Speaker 3 It's an honor for them to allow you to be part of this. You can't walk.

Speaker 1 Like, what's my manner in?

Speaker 3 From Foo Fighters.

Speaker 1 Dave Grohl. Dave Grohl.

Speaker 3 Yeah, just waltz in. Like, doesn't he play for Bruce Springsteen?

Speaker 3 I'm getting confused.

Speaker 1 It's Max Weinberg. That's the guy from The Sopranos.

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah. The guy from the Sopranos.
You don't get to just walk in and demand.

Speaker 1 Stevie Van Zandt.

Speaker 3 Steve Van Zandt, there you go.

Speaker 1 That's the guy from The Sopranos. Sid Rosenberg show.
First for me. The guy from the Sid Rosenberg show.

Speaker 3 You see what I'm saying? Like, you don't get to do that. You know, you don't get you.
This isn't your thing. I don't care how famous you are.
You are joining something that is already famous.

Speaker 3 It's already doing its famous thing. And we happy to have you here.
It'd be cool. This is probably your life dream.

Speaker 1 Oh, who I want to think about?

Speaker 3 White guy. White guy.
John Mayer.

Speaker 1 John Mayer.

Speaker 3 Grateful that's a Grateful Dead, bro. Hey, John Mayer.
You want to do that? You do a John Mayer show. You do a John Mayer concert.
And then you can ask for that stuff. You want stamina?

Speaker 3 You want to do that?

Speaker 3 You do a John Stameless concert.

Speaker 1 John Mayer has more let. He's like lead singing for them, right? Absolutely.
That's more leverage.

Speaker 3 More leverage, but guess what? Respects it. He respects the playground.
He said, look, this isn't about me, guys. It's not about me.
Don Stamos, shame on you. Shame on you.

Speaker 3 And I know you're doing it just to be cute.

Speaker 1 Like, oh, I want a little body pillow.

Speaker 3 It's working.

Speaker 1 Private fart is funny.

Speaker 1 And I liked Arrowheads. It's a good callback.
Great. Great film.
The Lone Rangers. How are you, the Lone Rangers? There's three of you.

Speaker 1 Folks, the leaves are turning. The weather's getting a little chillier.
That means the football games are more important. That means football time should be Miller time.

Speaker 1 Game day hits different with a Miller light in your hand. From jaw-dropping touchdowns to fantasy heartbreaks, my fantasy season's over already, but you know what makes that better? Miller time!

Speaker 1 It's the beer that's been there for every moment. 50 years of great taste, simple ingredients, and that iconic golden color you can spot from across the room.
And here's the kicker.

Speaker 1 It's just 96 calories, 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. The original light beer since 1975 and still hitting different five decades later.

Speaker 1 So whatever your game day looks like, remember Miller time is always a good time. Miller Light Grape Taste 96 calories.

Speaker 1 Or you can pick up Miller Light pretty much anywhere they sell beer. It's Miller time.
Celebrate responsibly. Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.

It's dark at like 5 p.m. I'm instantly ready for bed.

Speaker 1 So this November, BetterHelp's reminding you to reach out, text your people, call your mom, grab coffee with that friend you've been meeting to since like May. It always feels good after.

Speaker 1 You're like, why didn't I do that sooner? It's the same thing with therapy. Reaching out can feel weird at first, but once you do it, it helps.

They're annoying.

Speaker 1 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 1 Who's B. Arthur? B.
Arthur. Oh, wow.
Old Lady Cross.

Speaker 3 You know what shit. Bard.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Let me look it up.
You have a computer.

Speaker 8 Yeah, but I'm...

Speaker 3 It's conversation. It's not conversation if he doesn't.

Speaker 1 I don't want to look something up and it shouldn't be the right thing to do.

Speaker 8 Let's try to figure out who you got here. B.
Arthur.

Speaker 3 B-E-A is how you spell B.

Speaker 1 B-Arthur. Beatrice.
Sure for Beatrice.

Speaker 1 You know her.

Speaker 3 From Golden Girls. Yeah.
The main one. Dorothy from Golden Girls.

Speaker 1 The main one. Is that the tall one? The tall one.

Speaker 1 I was thinking the glasses, the little zigglers. I've never seen the show, so I didn't have a reference point of who this was.
I'm still getting it.

Speaker 3 I've been re-watching Golden Girls recently. Yeah.
Surprisingly holds up. Really? Yeah.
That's hard to believe.

Speaker 3 Surprisingly holds up so what's the elevator pitch here what like two old ladies four four old ladies four four old ladies okay living in a uh like living together in miami they're retired and that's it and hijinks okay

Speaker 3 there she is tony shenanigans yeah one of them one of them dates a lot blanche she's well not just dates she's yeah blanche is the is the kim cattrol of you know what's kim cattle samantha and sex in the city wait everyone knows what you mean yep yeah

Speaker 3 Blanche is this the so this is like old lady sex in the city yes okay old lady sex in the city but the city is Miami.

Speaker 1 Hmm. And they were the first to do it.
But it's like a swamp, really. Like when they show their house, it's like, wow, this is South Beach.
So it's like pre-it's like pre-Miami Springs.

Speaker 3 They're like Boca? Right, or where are they? No, it's Miami. They say Miami proper.
They do say Miami proper.

Speaker 1 It's like Miami, Miami Shores or something. Yeah.

Speaker 3 But yeah, you don't see no ocean.

Speaker 1 So it's before Hispanics and before everything else.

Speaker 1 I think it's contemporary.

Speaker 1 It's contemporary. Hispanics were around.
Yeah, they were around. I think it's.
Are any of the ladies Hispanic? No. No.
Okay. That's my question.
Two of them were Italian.

Speaker 3 Yes. So B.
Arthur's character, Dorothy, and her mom, Sophia, they're Italian. Rose, which is played by Betty White.
She was from Minnesota. Blanche was from Texas or Tennessee.

Speaker 1 Louisiana?

Speaker 3 She's from somewhere in the south.

Speaker 1 Trivia Night.

Speaker 3 Somewhere in the South. Louisiana, I think you're right.
Devereux, yeah. Because her last name is Devereux.
She's Creole, yeah.

Speaker 1 So I haven't watched the show, that's why.

Speaker 3 No Cubans. Did they have any Cubans? Maybe some of the men that came around.

Speaker 1 Very progressive show. Yeah, it was.
That was me watching Miami Vice Remake. Still no Cubans?

Speaker 3 Wait, there are no Cubans in the Cansin?

Speaker 1 Not in the crew. Like Justin Thoreau's in the crew.

Speaker 3 Damn.

Speaker 1 Everyone in. See, this is systemic.
Erasure. I'll tell you, Three Americas.

Speaker 3 Erasure.

Speaker 3 Erasure.

Speaker 1 You put a Chinese lady in it. The only time they...
They actually go to Cuba for Mojito, but... There's no Cubans in there.

Speaker 1 This is the only time I can get to see Cubans.

Speaker 3 They go to Cuba and there are no Cubans there?

Speaker 1 No, that's the only time you get to see Cubans. You'd think that with all the time that passed since the 80s, they'd be like, Michael, there are a lot of Cubans here.

Speaker 1 The most Cuban we get is that his name is Ricardo. Crazy.
The surname doesn't match it, but his name is Ricardo. There's a guy called El Tigron.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but that guy's got to be Cuban. I think he's Colombian.

Speaker 3 Really? El Tigron? No.

Speaker 1 Worst sex scene, but very realistic. Again,

Speaker 1 specialist.

Speaker 1 It's just Jamie Foxx just digging his chin into his shoulder blade. And that's the entire...
The camera doesn't move. I'm like, this is the most realistic one.

Speaker 3 I saw Jamie Foxx is going to be playing Tyson. I don't even know if this is real or not.

Speaker 1 They've been trying to get that thing done forever.

Speaker 1 It's been 25 years. He's too old to do it now.

Speaker 3 Or maybe just the right age.

Speaker 1 I watched Spider-Man No Way Home last night. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 I love that Spider-Man. That was great.

Speaker 1 People popped in the movie theater when all the Spider-Men from all the universes came.

Speaker 3 Yeah, and all the villains from all the universes.

Speaker 1 And they kept making the joke that Electro was made by falling into a bat of Electric Eels.

Speaker 1 But do you think Jamie Foxx negotiated for me to return to this franchise? We got to make me handsome.

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah. No, because he was...

Speaker 1 Everybody else looks the same as they did, but Jamie Foxx is like, oh, the electricity here is stronger, so I look better.

Speaker 1 He's back to painting on his hair. He doesn't have to comb over.
He's not blue.

Speaker 3 No, no, yeah.

Speaker 3 They fixed him up. He didn't look like he did in Amazing.
Was it Amazing Spider-Man?

Speaker 1 It was a very lazy exposition.

Speaker 1 he's like uh i like the power here it's a little bit better he has a glow up he just didn't want to look ugly he has a literal glow up because he's glowing see how that works

Speaker 3 you want to talk about some a weird sex scene

Speaker 3 you guys see michael beasley and lance stevenson

Speaker 1 i don't watch the big three that was that was i just saw the clip of them celebrating and it was intense it was

Speaker 1 Passionate

Speaker 3 It was passionate. I think we can throw it up on the screen right here.

Speaker 1 It's just going to be B-roll b-roll, though, because there's a lot of cursed words. No, it's all right.

Speaker 3 But it's like, look at these. His face is pressed against his face.
He's hyping him up.

Speaker 1 And then they get face to face here.

Speaker 3 He's hyping him up, and Beasley's kind of kind of holding it in. Now, his forehead to forehead.
And now he's roaring.

Speaker 1 And he's like, yeah.

Speaker 3 And they're all excited. And they're forehead to forehead again.
And they're rubbing foreheads, which is a weird feeling. And then they walk around.

Speaker 1 Was this after a game win or something?

Speaker 1 I don't know. Is this to reach? There's a foul.
Is this to reach the championship or is this winning the championship? I'm going to look this up. It's important details.
It's not important details.

Speaker 1 The detail is at the end of the day, even if it is to reach the championship, it's the big three championship. Yeah.
We like the big three too much.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to knock it.

Speaker 3 Do you like hoops? I'm just saying.

Speaker 1 The guy's afraid of pissing off Ice Cube. Oh, no,

Speaker 1 I was on

Speaker 1 War of the Worlds 7, whatever it's called.

Speaker 3 Have you guys seen War of the Worlds?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Villiers. I also haven't seen the Big Three.
Villiers, right? I actually sack quartz had a big three game one time. Yeah, it was awesome.

Speaker 1 They came over, they were promoting, and they're like, anyone want to go to the game? I'm like, yeah, sure, I'll go to the game. So now you trash them a couple years later? No, I'm just saying.

Speaker 1 I mean, it was fine. We left early.
We weren't going to be there all day. It's like eight basketball games in a row.
It was a quick. And it's half court.
Honestly,

Speaker 1 I... Thank you for bringing us and having us out and sitting on the court and all that stuff.
But like, it was third row, so it sucks because you can't see anything.

Speaker 1 Third row on the floor, you can't see anything because the first two rows ahead of you. I'd rather sit like, you know, fourth row, kind of in the 100 levels, you know?

Speaker 3 Yeah. You said you sat court side.

Speaker 1 Yeah, court side. Or on court.
What do you mean?

Speaker 3 Third row and court side are not the same thing, my friend.

Speaker 1 What's courtside? Court side.

Speaker 1 I was on wood. There's three rows of wood.

Speaker 3 You got it. Court side means when I

Speaker 1 quote. I could trip a referee.

Speaker 3 Exactly. I quote Sean Carter.

Speaker 3 I'd be spiked out. I could trip a referee.
That means if your legs are too far out like Larry David, you might trip one of the combatants.

Speaker 1 Their floor is weird. At least it was then.
There's a lot of wood real estate. It's very red, too.
It's very red court. This is like first or second year of Big Three.
Like it was new at the time.

Speaker 1 Pre-pandemic. Are the courts smaller in Big Three?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's half court. Oh, so that's why there's so much wood.
Yeah, yeah. That's why there's also so many rows of seats on the wood.
This was just to get to the championship game. That reaction.

Speaker 1 Was it a game winner? Yeah, that's it. I mean, that's cool.
You can do that on the playground. The championship

Speaker 1 is this Sunday coming up.

Speaker 1 If you hit a game winner, you can have that kind of behavior. It doesn't matter what the stakes are.

Speaker 3 I think that's a little much.

Speaker 1 No, LA Fitness Championships.

Speaker 3 I've never been forehead to forehead with anyone.

Speaker 1 You've never been this close as Michael Beasley and Lan Stevens? But they were NBA players that played in actual conference championship games.

Speaker 1 This is, I don't understand. The book on Michael Beasley was that he didn't care enough, and then he displays it and we chastise him for it.
You don't understand why not

Speaker 1 thinking that the big three championship game is equivalent to like NBA playoffs. No, I get it, I don't watch a shit, but I get why he's happy.

Speaker 3 What are we doing?

Speaker 1 Why are we being dismissed? I realized why Billy was sitting on the wood is because on the half court, he was sitting on the other half of the court.

Speaker 1 No, I was actually like in a corner, so like it was the there's the court here. No one cares about this.
There's a court here, and then there's the one side, the other side, and then the back side.

Speaker 1 And then I was like in the corner on one of the sides. It was hard to see.
I only got so much love for ball.

Speaker 1 I'll watch NBA playoffs and women's college basketball, and occasionally men's college basketball, unless my coach quits in the middle of the year and the team follows suit, then I give up.

Speaker 1 Well, they got in trouble, or someone got in trouble that worked for them because it was like their social media person that runs their Twitter account.

Speaker 1 And she was tweeting about Caitlin Clark at the WNBA during the big three game, and they ended up firing her. That was because they're like,

Speaker 1 We view them as competition. You need to not be tweeting about our competition during our broadcast.

Speaker 3 Rachel Demeter. It was Rachel Demeter, yeah.

Speaker 1 It seems this was a game winner, but only because every game is up to 50. Yeah.

Speaker 3 So like it's not, yeah.

Speaker 1 They're all game winners. Yeah, but you're with me, though.
If you hit a game winner, it doesn't matter what level. It feels good.

Speaker 3 Yeah, one by three.

Speaker 3 I think my thing is this.

Speaker 1 You can celebrate whatever level.

Speaker 3 I celebrate. Hell yeah, that.

Speaker 3 Like

Speaker 3 the intimate gazing into my eyes

Speaker 1 forehead to forehead.

Speaker 1 Not how I would get down on the basketball court, but I'm certainly celebrating a game winner. Or I'll do that thing where I don't even celebrate because it was supposed to happen.

Speaker 3 It's supposed to happen.

Speaker 1 But I'll make a big show about how I'm not celebrating.

Speaker 1 That's the Damian Lillard.

Speaker 1 Or I'll just fly off the court like, yep.

Speaker 3 That's the Damian Lillard. When he hit the shot against so close to him, bye-bye.

Speaker 3 But like everyone mobbed him, and then he looks into the camera and it's just, how ice cold is this guy?

Speaker 1 He doesn't. They were up by one.
48 to 47, and he hit like a little floater layup to win it 50 to 47. Usually it's like a...
Who'd they beat?

Speaker 1 They beat the Dallas Power. Who's in the Dallas Power? That's another thing, though.
Here's the player first. The audience can't see it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they can't see your computer. The first couple seasons, you had like the three-headed monsters and the aliens and the killer threes and

Speaker 1 now it's cities, but they don't actually represent the city. It's just like a traveling show.
They're a traveling road show.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so what difference does it make if you assign a city name to people that like Lance Stevenson has zero connection to Miami? Oh no, he's got plenty of connection. He lives in Miami.

Speaker 1 He lives in no one thinks of Lance Stevenson as someone from Miami.

Speaker 1 He's a hateful. He's still in Miami.

Speaker 1 He's representing Miami. And he was viewed in his NBA career as a villain to Miami.
Dallas Power have Greg Monroe, Paul Milsap, Glenn Rice Jr., and John Milsap. Old team.
John Milsap?

Speaker 1 I think that Nancy Lieberman is their coach. Based off of that,

Speaker 1 is there an Indiana team in the big three?

Speaker 1 We don't know. There are league standings.
There's the Boston Ballhogs, Chicago Triplets, Dallas Power, Detroit Amps, DMV Trilogy, Houston Righands, LA Wright, and and Miami 305.

Speaker 1 Well, if he's associated, I think he did

Speaker 1 play in L.A. for a little bit, but he did.
But

Speaker 1 out of all those cities, he's mostly associated with Miami because of his rivalry with the Heat.

Speaker 3 And he lives here. And he lives here.

Speaker 1 Everybody lives here. That's a big three.

Speaker 3 He's doing papers checks and stuff. You ain't really Miami.

Speaker 1 Now is a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila.

Speaker 4 Cuervo.

Speaker 1 What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 1 Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like Cuervo, I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Speaker 3 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 1 Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.
Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.
Cuervo. Cuervo.
The tequila that invented tequila.

Speaker 1 Proximo, Quervo.com. Please drink responsibly.
Cuervo.
