I get so many headaches every month.
It could be chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.
Botox, autobotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine.
It's not for those who have 14 or fewer headache days a month.
Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.
Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.
Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.
Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.
Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck, and injection, site pain, fatigue, and headache.
Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.
Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.
Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.
Why wait?
Ask your doctor.

I hate cowards.
You want to talk trash?
You want to talk mess?
Talk mess and own it.
I hate cowards.
You someone in particular?
You're thinking of it?
Yeah, I'm thinking of someone in particular.
Are they in this room?
No, they're not in this room.
We don't have cowards.
We don't employ cowards around here.
Okay, very good.
Talking about Dylan.
Dylan, Gabriel.
You don't believe it.
You don't believe him?
I don't believe him.
So if you don't know, Dylan Gabriel, he started for the Browns this weekend.
He played all right, I guess.
A couple turnovers.
Afterwards.
I mean, pick six
stuff.
Afterwards.
Losing the ball is bad.
He says,
there are entertainers and there are competitors.
My job is to compete.
Well, you can read into that, right?
Yeah, let's read into that.
I mean, he sure didn't entertain.
We know that.
Mina said that his first drive looked good.
And then I tuned in and I saw the other drives, and they did not look good.
But, you know, at least he has all the size that you want at the position.
My thing is this: man,
you're in a, it's all right.
You're in a battle for who's going to get this spot.
You're in a battle with another rookie.
That guy brings a lot of pizzazz to the table.
You're trying to position yourself as, I'm the steak and potatoes, and this guy's just all flash, right?
We all know that Flacco is starting, right?
Yes, yes.
This is not.
Yeah.
No, but they're not coming.
None of them are competing to start week one.
They're competing to start like week six for the future of this franchise.
But it's constantly being discussed on debate shows as if Shador Sanders or even Dylan Gabriel, much less so Kenny Pickett, as anybody else has a chance to start week one for the Cleveland Browns.
You know what?
It's got to be Joe Flacco.
You're right about that.
You're right, because when else has it ever been,
when else have we ever paid attention to the backup quarterback competition?
When yours is Zach Wilson, what are you talking about?
We're paying attention to this.
This is local, though, yeah.
No, no one else.
This is a national show.
We're tastemakers.
It's not as sexy when you position it that way.
But in league circles, they're all talking like this was always a plan.
It doesn't matter.
It literally doesn't matter what Shador does.
Joe Flacco is starting week one.
Sure, but we all all know that this is for, again, both of these guys were highly touted prospects, despite where Shadura was drafted, right?
So this is, in essence, for the soul in the future of the Cleveland Browns.
Well, you're not arguing for week one.
We're arguing for who's going to be the franchise quarterback one day.
Right.
But if Shadur, if the Browns spent their third-round pick on Dylan Gabriel and they never came back and selected Shadur Sanders, no one would be paying any attention
to what Dylan Gabriel is doing.
Of course not.
But Dylan Gabriel would feel like this is my team.
I'm not going to start in week one, but I'm eventually the keys are going to get handed to me and maybe it happens next year.
Maybe it happens like you guys have said in week six.
The other thing too is they're probably assessing, all right, this next quarterback class is going to be really good in 26 coming out of college.
Like, are we going to
take another quarterback?
They can't get it.
But they can, right?
If Gabriel's not good, if Shadur's not good, if they have Flacco King, they have Scoop also.
They sign Snoop.
They also hunt Snoop's.
And they also have uh you know the one who should not be named so we've got seven quarterbacks trying to vie for face of the franchise joe flacco's too old he's going to be gone kenny pickett is a journeyman at this point he's not good so you've got these two guys and it's like all right if they're not good this year next year if the browns are going to be bad which i think they will they're going to have a good spot to get a good quarterback next year we were talking at the beginning about the comment though like was that a shot at shador dylan gabriel claims he's been saying this he said it at college like it's just one of his sayings that's his sayings that the the media is you know, the entertainers, and we're competing.
So like, I don't know.
I kind of believe that.
Like, we're supposed to know Dylan Gabriel lore.
But it's just like, no, but you're taking it and just assuming it's a shot.
And he clarified.
I'm just
passing along his notes.
Chris, this ain't exactly Wayland Utani.
Look, I.
I'm just pointing out, you said it seems like a shot, and he's saying it wasn't.
But are we taking his word for it?
Is this documented?
And I am looking for, I don't see the old quote.
And originally, if he did say it earlier, that was a shot at someone someone else.
Right.
Like you don't say shit like and it's not at the media.
That's what he's saying it is.
That's what I'm saying.
Like if it's the media, you would say something like, look, media's job is to entertain.
Our job is to compete.
He didn't say that.
I mean, when he was asked to follow up, he did say that exact thing.
But why, why?
When did he feel the need to differentiate between the media and the players that one are entertainers and the other are competitors?
Do some people think that the media are competitors?
Well, no, I think the narrative got out there that that was a shot at Shadura.
And he's like, I want to clarify that the media.
But that's back to what I'm originally asking.
Like, does he feel the need to make sure that everybody knows that the media are not competitors, that we are competitors?
What does that even mean?
It comes from the quarterback school of obvious shit.
Well,
this is where the media is at fault.
We all know.
It's our fault now?
No, this is where the media is at fault in that everyone in this room seems to understand the game.
It's being presented on TV like this is a quarterback battle because it's not as interesting to talk about who's going to be third string on the depth chart or what have you, right?
So they feed into this narrative where all these guys are competing and trying to drive wedges and people are picking their favorite in a bad faith gambit that all these guys actually have a chance to start off the bat when it's going to be Joe Flacco.
No, but Mike, Mike, I'm going to push back on you this way.
Do you think Joe Flacco is going to start 17 games?
Barring injury.
Barring injury.
No, no, no, no, no.
No one believes that.
No one that's paid attention to the Cleveland Browns lore for the last 40 years knows exactly how this is going to go.
But also, I think that all too often media gets lumped in with what's atop the food shame.
Talking about the first take type of media of the world
that unfairly trickles down to all the beat writers.
And beat writers are literally incentivized to find these storylines and keep you engaged.
I mean, their eyes lit up with that quote.
Yeah.
Well, that's on Dylan Gabriel.
It's on Dylan.
That's a data point, my friend.
Mike, my thing is this:
normally you're right where people assign the media to what stephen a and and company are talking about like that's not the media that's one show right he represents us he doesn't represent all of us he represents himself he represents his show and and what he does and and that doesn't should not be how which is what athletes do they perceive that's how all media all beat riders everyone's doing that they also do this with just random twitter accounts they say they say they say quickly becomes the media right because social media equals media for some athletes, right?
But in this case, in this particular case, this isn't a concoction because none of us expect Joe Flacco to be starting 17 games barring injury, right?
We all expect at some point, Joe, give me the ball and we're going to send in the lefty or whatever, right?
Be it in effectiveness or, hey, we just got to eval these guys.
No one really expects their season to be good.
I'm sure Joe Flacco takes exception to all of this, being like, hey, just two years ago, I was comeback player of the year over a player who died on the field.
Do you think he takes exception?
I mean, he took this team to the playoffs.
I think he knows the drill.
I feel like even him at this, he's like, I'm Joe Flacco.
He beat a guy who died for comeback player of the year.
That's pretty impressive.
I'm sure he's got an ego about it.
He's a Super Bowl champion.
That's almost as impressive as Tony's worst day of his life.
Worst day of my life.
And I'm sure, yes, maybe there's part of it like, well, you did that two years ago, but now you're older.
Can you do it again?
He's looking around like, I'm literally the only guy in this uniform outside of Baker Mayfield that you've had proof of concept over in the last 25 years.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Jameis did Snow Angels.
He didn't get to the playoffs.
Big game.
Joe Flacco got to the playoffs.
Joe Flacco got to the playoffs and was comeback player of the year.
Joe Flacco was at times really good for that franchise when they were desperate and happy that Watson got hurt.
And they pushed Joe Flacco out to appease Watson.
Right.
Something that they should have never done.
I'm not doubting Joe Flacco's effectiveness.
I'm just saying, we're all saying, I think, Mike, he's got to look around and know the deal.
Like, he sees what they didn't draft, they didn't draft two quarterbacks because they thought you're so awesome and this job is yours forever.
You are here basically keeping a seat warm for whoever the heir apparent is going to be.
Right, but he's going to have the ego.
Like, good luck getting this job.
I'm not going to let you have it.
You have to rip it from me.
Absolutely.
But it's going to get ripped from him.
And so, to me, I don't think it's a disingenuous conversation to be like, Gabriel versus Sanders, who's going to win out?
Even though it's framed that way.
It should be framed that way.
Well, how's it being framed?
It's a quarterback battle.
Who's going to be starting for the Cleveland Browns?
I don't think it's being framed that way.
I think it's implied.
I think everyone who talks about it knows that Flacco is the starter, week number one.
It's all about at some point in the middle of the season, probably before the middle of the season, because yes, like Tony said, next year is supposed to be a very good quarterback class which by the way this year was supposed to be a very good quarterback class so it's hard to
dark yeah it's hard to you know really predict the way that that's going to wind up going down but they're going to have to see both of these guys at some point during the season which means that it's only flat go for the first few weeks and the first few weeks are brutal they play bengals at ravens pake uh packers lions vikings steelers and then dolphins he's not he's not making it out of that stretch yeah like it's perfect brutal stretch he's not making it out of that stretch when i say it's perfect because they're gonna have a bad record it's like, okay, great.
Now we'll go to the other guy.
Thank you for including the Dolphins in that.
That made me feel a little better.
Well, the Dolphins is like the winnable, the first winnable.
That's where you start
the week before.
It honestly made just, I felt good there just being included in that.
Wait, do the Dolphins come after a bye?
Because we're definitely getting a quarterback there.
Their bye week is, I think, later in the season.
How many quarterbacks over or under
three and a half Cleveland Browns quarterbacks we see this season?
Three and a half?
That's a lot.
Three and a half is a lot.
It's a lot.
Two and a half, I say over.
Two and a half, easy over.
I'm going over three and a half.
Wow.
You're saying Flacco, Pickett, Gabriel, Sanders.
And we're talking, okay, are we talking starting or taking snaps?
They take the field.
Okay, yeah, I'm going over.
And I'm not counting the field, though.
Not counting Wildcat packages.
No, I'm going over then.
Okay, okay.
All right.
If you said starting, I would have thought twice about it, but just taking snaps at any point, yeah, I'm going over.
If they're thinking of taking another quarterback next year, what Zaz is saying is right.
Like, you need to give Shador and Dylan both both chances.
And even then, when you're playing both of them, you're not going to get enough to decide if that's your franchise quarterback because they're not going to have a long enough leash to struggle and come back.
Unless one of them comes out the gates just blazing, and then it's like, oh, it's his job now.
It's a very strange franchise that has
looked for an answer at quarterback.
They had two guys that took them to the playoffs.
One of them being a former number one overall pick, the other guy being a former Super Bowl champion.
And
they pushed them out the door it's so bizarre it's because they're white hey it's jeremy here i don't know if you've noticed this about me but i'm not quite someone who loves confrontation or fighting i don't really want to end up in a situation where i need to do so for me simply safe becomes the way i want to protect my home because not only is there like the personal peace of mind of knowing that my security is preventative, it's not just an alarm after an event, I want to make sure that my wife is okay, that my cats are okay, that everything I have in my home is okay, and knowing that I have to deal with like the stress or the violation of someone potentially breaking into my home and reacting to it versus having the control and safety of proactive prevention is huge for me.

Time that we have with summer is dwindling.
I'm sure you're already doing that thing where you're going through your photo album, flipping through the photos that you've taken this summer.
Already reminiscing about the good times that you have.
I know I did.
And in many of the pictures that I went back to reminisce over, I had a beautiful white can of Miller Light in my hand because I love making good times during the summer a Miller time.
And it's a good reminder, we're losing time on this summer.
So why don't you share the moments that you have with a white can of Miller Light like I have, whether it's a long weekend or a full-on vacation.
It is the perfect time to get the crew back together.
And since 1975, Miller Light has been the go-to way to stock the cooler and celebrate those moments.

Bob Marley.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
The one where he's like half a lion.
Oh, that's a sick one.
I love that one.
There isn't a single one.
It's usually him smoking.
It could be his Great Sits album.
He's looking this way, and like a lion's looking the other way.
But the lion has the dreads, too.
Yeah.
It's corny that poster.
Come on.

10?
Let me look at that.
10, yep, with that, with the hair, right?
Take this thing for a walk.
I don't know, man.
I kind of feel like Scarface needs to be there.
I feel like everyone I knew in college had the Scarface.
I didn't want to personalize it because it was Miami for sure.
And I didn't think that this was like, this is my situation.
It was worldwide, man.
Every single college dorm had Scarface.
everyone everyone everyone everyone i'm searching for mine by the way godfather also the the i have one of those the little puppet thing strings oh the man
marionette
the marionette strings that one um what are other i like i'm the movie posters the heat heat was a big one heat was a big one i feel like reservoir dogs was a big one reservoir dogs
if you were a film student you had that you had bulk fiction bulk fiction the uma thermon on the bed
I usually go to the Blockbuster video and say, hey, are you throwing away any movie posters?
You would do that?
Dude, I had a Dead President's poster.
Oh, that was a great one.
I got Dead President's great one.
I had a Batman Forever poster on my wall.
I had so many posters.
I can do posters in my room, another top five.
Go ahead.
Where are they, Mike?
Where are they?
And I lost every single one of those.
We were bankrupt after a while.
Oh.
Blockbuster?
You were related to the family.
As a family?
As a family.
There's a whole thing.
Blockbuster, too.
Move in my grandpa.
Your grandpa didn't believe in posters.
Yeah,
my grandfather was like big into the tribulation and the rapture.
So that what if you just I just like the idea of you like moving in like, hey, grandpa, and then you start putting up your poster.
Yeah, what if you just start putting them up?
This is the devil's work.
This is El Diablo.
And he just ripped it up and you got it.
If I wanted a poster, I'd go to Sunset Place Virgin Megastore and I would just say, man, that would look good on the wall someday.
Not with grandpa.
All right, let me get to to work on this topic but i would i'm curious at the at the posters that uh you you guys all had growing up man i don't think i had posters to be honest with you man i had i didn't like definitely not growing up i didn't have posters uh when i went to college then it turned into like i was getting like pictures like but big poster size photographs of like Jon Stark's dunking on.
So like posters.
No, they were actually photographs, though.
They were poster-sized photographs.
Yes.
So posters.
No.
Posters is different.
Posters, you roll it up.
You can't roll up.
But why would you pay for poster-sized photographs?
That seems expensive.
I was getting them signed.
This is when I was working for the Hawks.
So I would get these things signed.
And there was a guy that I knew.
He collected memorability.
He said, I will send you two of everything.
And you get to keep one.
And so that was a deal.
And so I was getting, so Jon Stark's dunking on
Horace Grant and Michael Jordan.
That one, I had that sign.
Alan Houston hitting the shot.
Again, man, the Alan Houston.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, but I'll talk about that.
Yeah, yeah, I get that.
It was
something you shouldn't be doing as a team employee.
I was like a part-time employee at the time.
It didn't matter.
What's the matter with you, dog?
Man, I'm telling you.
It was behind.
It was behind the shot.
You saw the shot clock and you see his release and everyone's just like.
Yeah, everyone knows, man.
It's a great shot.
It's a great shot.
What'd you do with the poster pictures?
Oh, man.
They got stolen.
Stolen?
Yeah.
By who?
I don't know.
Oh.
Guy you sold the phone cards to?
Oh, the phone cards.
Don't get me started on that.
That's my
scheme you run over.
Someone broke into your house and all of a sudden like, what's missing?
Like, my poster.
The dorm.
The dorm.
I was moving out for the summer, and so I had my stuff in a box.
And I had a bunch of stuff in there.
A bunch of stuff.
It was the pictures.
It was.
It was some jerseys.
It was like a warm-up.
All that shit got stolen, bro.
Devastating.
Wow.
All right, here are the posters that I can remember that I had growing up.
Hulk Hogan.
Yep.
Do you know the pose?
He was in front of a blue background and it was just him like, I think I had the same one.
This is the WWF, right?
Then I had a sting poster.
WCW.
Okay.
Not the police sting.
Mattfield's a gold sting.
No, it was just a sting in front of like a seers backdrop.
Put on the fanfight.
You know what's crazy?
I was thinking about this literally yesterday because some commercial had Seal Kiss from a Rose in it.
What a song.
And I was thinking to myself, man, that song is so ubiquitous, people don't even remember.
That was a Batman song.
Yep.
That was a Batman song.
Went to see the movie off the poster alone.
It was a great poster.
Great poster.
The white makeup.
White makeup, the lighting.
Chris Tucker's in this.
Incredible.
Let's look down.
Kathy Ireland.
Really?
The one in the swimsuit?
Yep.
Really?
Now, were these all up at the same time?
No, this is over the course of like eight years or so.
You had a Kathy.
No wonder your grandpa flipped out.
Yeah.
Christine Anguillera.
Genie in a bottle.
It was like a part of that album shoot because...
It was in a desert, right?
And it was like
just kind of casually like leaning on the side of a doorway.
You know the one I'm talking about where it's like in a desert and it's like low light.
It's like maybe like dusk.
Let me take that one for a walk.
I randomly had a Drew Bledsell one.
Surprise.
Drew Bledsell.
I'm trying.
Yeah, there was a Patriots and there was like a nickname of sorts.
Drew Bled so much that he needed a transfusion.
Who remembers that?
No one remembers that?
I know.
Hold on, before you go on.
So there was a, this is Sports Center commercial where they were like training people to be sports center anchors and uh boomer is like all right uh what's drew bledsoe's nickname the guy raises his hands like drew bled so much that he needed transfusion and the guy's like trick question there is no nickname for drew bledsoe he was drew bledsoe in front of a uh an american flag it said drew bledsoe patriot games
electric okay that's a
book fair poster if i ever heard one yeah it's a scholastics poster hold on those are good those are like cardstock
but but to take a the name of a popular movie that had been released a few years earlier and apply it to the sports situation.
Let me tell you something.
I remember there was one.
Who was it?
It was someone from Cincinnati.
It was like The Hunt for Red October.
And I was like, that's a Danny Dalton.
That's a dope name.
Jeff October.
I had the Dan the Man Marino post here.
Oh, nice, nice.
Seeing the Zubas?
Ooh, the quarterback club.
I may have had that quarterback club one.
Man, that's such a huge part of my childhood.
Maybe I had that post, but I don't remember it specifically or vividly.
That one's still around.
See, this is the movie poster.
I randomly had an Indianapolis Colts poster just because I wanted something to fill out my
and I eventually,
in fact, I can take it out of the frame.
I just put the Fight Club poster over that because I wanted it for me.
Oh, the soap?
The soap.
The soap and then like the
shitting grin that Brad Pitt had.
Fight Club was the first ever DVD I bought.
Really?
Mine was Long Kiss Good Night.
Oh, fuck.
That's a good movie.
That was a great movie.
That's a holiday movie.
It's a great and a great rewatchability movie.
Very great movie.
I'm not a Rennie Holland guy.
I don't like that guy.
Really?
Oh, because of Die Hard 2?
Exactly.
You got to forgive him for that.
I can't.
It was good enough.
Almost destroyed everything.
And finally, Eminem.
There was one with him
with a microphone
in his mouth, and he was like that.
You know, you could have just grabbed the microphone as opposed to pitching
like that and the microphone was like this i'm you guys i'm i'm trying to find current nba nicknames and it's man it's tough it's like when you said active it's just yannis alex caruso the bald mamba

We call him KD.
Splash Brothers.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, they're not together anymore.
Dame Time?
Anthony Dame Time is a good one.
Dame Time's good.
But it's more about the moment than it is.
King James.
We don't call him Dame Time like in the second quarter.
Mick Bob.
Oh,
who remembers him?
Josh.
Can't forget.
Ant-Man for Anthony Edwards?
Yeah.
I feel very underwhelmed right here.
I feel very underwhelmed.

Big tickets.
The process?
Big tickets, good.
Big tickets are good.
Is Joel Embiid?
The process is over, but.
I mean, yeah.
Look, when he was doing well, people really like to tout that one.
I'll give him that one.
Jimmy Bucketts slash playoff Jimmy.
That's a good one.
I don't like either of those.
Here's why.
Playoff Jimmy, super unimaginative.
Jimmy Bucketts wouldn't be bad except for the fact that it's become parlance for anyone who gets buckets to be called like Michael Buckets and Jacob Buckets in everyone's buckets now.
Scary Terry.
Scary Terry is a great one.
Cat
cat is one that people use all the time.
Yeah, cat is one that people use.
And the brow.
The brow is one that people use.
They're not cool, though.
Playoff people.
Scary Terry is that's a great nickname.
Like if he was really good.
Oh my god.
Yeah.
Oh, if he was like not even really like if he was just a defensive pest like he was when he was in Boston, Scary Terry.
He has a mask.
Oh yeah.
Show up to the game in a mask.
Yeah.
Kevin Herder, red velvet.
Not bad, but nobody's ever heard of that.
Yeah, that's true.
The rivalries, the bans, the upsets, college football is back.

Don Lebatard.
I saw a post on Twitter yesterday how the Toronto Maple Leafs that they won the division.
Guess what?
It's been two years, and that's two years too long.
Stugats.
Take that ass too.
Oh, we're taking two asses.
This is the Don Lebatar show with his two guys.
Kyrie Irving, Uncle Drew, no one really calls himself.
No one calls him.
Tough, man.
Tough, tough, tough.
Isaiah Joe stroking Joe.
God, that's crazy.
Yeah, that is crazy.
I just wanted to share.
Breaking NFL news.
Former Miami Dolphins coroner Xavian Howard has signed with Miami's week one opponent, the Indianapolis Colts.
Okay.
Is he coming in with all the info?
This is what they like.
This is what they're doing.
He's coming in and saying they got no corners, so go deep.
I know.
I was there.
So what would a team have seen from him now that they didn't see last year?
He went the whole year without playing.
Him being healthier.
All right.
Connect for Dalton Connect.
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
I mean, I didn't know who you were talking about.
I thought you were like, why is he talking about a board game home?
Connect for, yeah, Dalton Connect.
And he wears number four.
It says Trey Young's nickname is Ice Trey.
Yeah.
That's a legitimate nickname.
And it's probably one of the better ones that we've got going on right now.
The Claw for Kawhi Leonard.
The what?
The claw.
Oh, the claw.
Just call him Kawhi.
Jonathan Kaminga, should I say his nickname?
Sure.
CB.
Well, no, it's not.
It's a bucket of some sorts.
KB.
I'm going to go with no if you're that nervous about it.
Not nervous, but just let you know.
Especially Jonathan buckets.
Knowing where your line
is.
Brooke Lopez, Splash Mountain.
Never heard that.
I never heard that.
I've heard that a lot.
And it's because not only is he big and he hits threes, but huge Disney fan.
Disney adult, yeah.
Loves Disney.
Anybody else have posters growing up?
I mean, I did, like I said, they were all those music posters.
And I had wrestling posters before that.
Yeah.
Just the one wrestling poster?
No, no, I had Hulk Hoke.
I had the Hulk Rules one that you just talked about, yes, for sure.
I also had an Ultimate Warrior poster, and I had Demolition.
No, Axe and Smash.
Wrong with you.
Oh, sorry.
The Demolition Man poster was hard.
You took me back.
I had a Demolition Man poster.
Right?
Wesley and Stallone.
Face to face.
Face to face.
Oh, man.
Oh, and I also had Heart Foundation.
Those are like the ones that I had.
Those are my wrestling posters.
You really was like, you were about that life, huh?
Not what?
Yeah, man.
When I was like eight, nine, ten years old, at all wrestling posters.
You just went to SummerSlam 22.
I know, but like, it's different when it's like you're surrounding yourself.
But like, the idea that, look, he loves sports.
He's always.
He has WWE at the the magazine and the mail everywhere.
Did you ever want to be a wrestler?
And when did you?
No.
Never.
A manager?
I knew I wasn't going to be big enough.
I mean, did you want to be a manager?
No.
See yourself like, I could be Jimmy Hart.
No.
Or I could be mean Gene Oakerland.
I was about it, man.
I loved it.
It was my love growing up.
Dude, the poster for Demolition, man, is this electric.
I'm telling you, man.
You have Jon Spartan and Simon Phoenix facing off.
Stallone over John Spartan.
Snipes over Simon Phoenix.
Subtext below Stallone's tagline.
Wait, wait, wait.
We're getting there.
This has a lot of.
I've never seen this movie.
This is electric.
I've never seen Demolition Man.
All right, so it sets up your face off, and it's got the 21st century's most dangerous cop.
I'm in.
Then under Snipes, the 21st Century's Most Ruthless Criminal.
Oh, I'm double in.
And then below that,
the future isn't big enough for the both of us.
Oh, my God.
Are you kidding me?
Tony?
Three Shisos.
I know a lot lot of people listen to the show, like, here they go.
They're talking about these old-ass movies.
I am telling y'all right now, I guarantee,
guarantee, thorough entertainment if you watch this movie.
Wow.
Always, always.
Strictly in the United States.
This, strictly in the United States.
This movie
is
electric, right?
And by the way.
And by the way, not for nothing, guess what?
Kind of prophetic.
Wow.
Kind of prophetic.
Yeah, Taco Bell, yeah.
Taco Bell is everywhere.
Number one.
Number two, people getting fined for saying the wrong things.
Oh, you are.
Wait, Mike used to do this really well.
Don't forget three shells.
Three C Shells, greatest mystery in cinematic history?
Absolutely.
Still trying to figure it out.
Of course.
Mike, I just cursed in the future.
What happens?
John Spartan, you've been fined one credit for.
There you go, man.
They've got to be able to get it.
I'm too close to that, actually.
I've heard that reference before.
Right?
Yeah.
That, and then, and then also.
Caveman.
The VR.
They got the VR in there.
Yep.
That did not look like good sex.
It didn't, but it's VR.
And it's a really young Sandra Bullock.
She was so cute.
She still is.
Yeah, she still is.
Yeah.
I love Sandra.
I love Sandra Bullock.
Horrible buses.
Dan Cortez, I think, plays two roles in this.
Really?
He really stretches it.
Yeah.
Wow.
Tan Cortez, yeah.
I think he's.
Is he the singer?
Is he the lounge singer?
Garden in the valley.
Valley in the garden.
I haven't seen a movie in 30 years.
No way.
We should have a rewatch.
Let's have a re-watch right now.
Fire it up, video team.
Them listen, man, right now.
We'll be your second screen experience.
Exactly.
You'll watch us watch the wall.
Wall camps are closing everywhere.
Installs going in.
We're going to re-watch Demolition, man.
I'll tell you, I mean, two kinds of movies.
I'll watch all of them.
I love time travel movies.
And this, I mean, does this count as time travel?
It's futuristic.
Well, they were
cryostasis, so it is kind of time travel.
Okay, I'll watch any time travel movie and and I'll watch any prison movie.
I love time travel, I love prison.
I don't want to go to prison because I would be holding somebody's pocket, it would go terribly for me.
This is a perfect film because it's kind of both.
Yeah, there's prison in the future.
Yeah,
do you like Time Cop?
I was gonna say, that's like combo.
Time cop, love time cop, time cop, great foul.
Dude, Time Cop, great, and also Time Cop.
I think I could do it better.
Hollywood, give me a budget.
You guys love existing IP.
Give me a budget.
Great movie.
Time cop should have been him.
Most of it should have been him trying to solve the mystery, going through time, trying to find these crimes that he was doing.
Remember, he went back to like the stock market, and then he went back to the civil war and all that stuff.
Because that's how the congressman was raising the money.
He was raising the money.
That's how they should have done it.
Instead, they kind of yada yada that partner got right into the conspiracy.
And he had Mia Sarah.
I mean, he hadn't seen her since Ferris Bueller.
That's right.
That's right, man.
I forgot about that.
Yes.
I like that movie.
I love Escape Plan.
I like that movie.
I love Escape Plan.
No, I haven't seen Escape Plan 2.
But you love the first one.
Yeah.
Whatever.
I don't know all the time in the world.
What more do they have to do?
Love Pris movie.
You ever seen Brawl and Cell Block 99?
No.
Oh, Vince Vaughan?
No.
That's a good movie.
That's good.
That's a good movie.
Brawl and Cell Block 99.
Brawl and Cell Block 99.
Heard of that.
Yep.
That's a good movie.
It's local.
Vince Vaughn playing a badass.
Yep.
Guys being dudes.
This is what a podcast is.
Time Cop and Demolition, man.
I've got my viewing for the next couple days.
Time cop either dude.
David's volume.
He's bald in this.
Yeah.
He's a bad
90% on Rotten Tomatoes.
It's a very good movie.
It's good.
Hard Target is better than Time Cop.
No.
Yes, it is.
No.
He smacks the snake.
No.
No, no, no, no.
Smacks the snake.
No, no, no.
Time cop's better, man.
Smacks the snake.
Time cop, man.
What was yours, Mike?
Hard target.
Hard target.
Hard target.
There's a great
deal.
Are you not in on the Van Dam movies?
No, I like Van Dam.
Like,
what was one of the other ones?
Blood Sport.
No, Blood Sport.
Blood Sport.
Yeah, solid Blood Sport.
Kickboxer also.
Oh, that's the best nickname.
That's the best nickname.
James Johnson, Bloodsport.
Hands down.
I give you Bloodsport.
That's his nickname.
Don't I have to know it's his nickname?
That's his nickname.
That's his nickname.
They call him Bloodsport.
And it's like, it's the most fitting nickname in the world, right?
This dude round house kicking people.
Yeah.
Oh.
My favorite prison movie?
Mm-hmm.
You ever seen Shot Caller?
No.
Best prison movie.
Better than Shaw Shank?
Well, no.
Okay.
It's me, like, Shaw Shank's at all times.
Better movie.
Better than Let's Go to Prison?
You never see Let's Go to Prison.
Who's in that again?
Dak Shepard.
And isn't the one DJ Quartet?
Will Quaz?
Will Arnett.
Oh, no, DJ Quauls had a run.
DJ Qualls, man, Rose.
It's a three-year run.
Yeah.
What about Get Hard?
Get Hard.
That movie's awesome.
That movie's so funny.
Are you kidding me?
But I don't know that it's really a prison movie.
None of it takes place in prison.
It's prepping him for prison.
Yeah, that doesn't really count.
Leading up to prison.
Shot caller, amazing prison movie.
It stars Kingslayer from Game of Thrones.
That's his name.
That's his name.
Damian Lannister.
Yes.
There you go.
Do you watch just prison movies or prison shows, too?
No, not really prison shows.
You didn't get into prison.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Of course, I watched Prison Break.
He had the map on his back.
Incredible show.
I watched it when it was live, when it was off.
It's not like somebody told me, oh, hey, you should go watch Prison Break.
No, I'm an OG Prison Break fan.
Love Prison Break.
How long did you go before you're like, this is
when they kept trying to break out of prisons?
I was like, come on, man.
No, I lasted the whole time.
But granted, the first few seasons are the best.
Well, didn't they try to run it back and reboot the series several years later?
They did.
Where Michael Schofield came back, he was alive.
Yeah.
What?
How's he alive?
You liked that?
Did they bring him back?
Did you like the reboot?
I don't even remember it, so I couldn't have liked it that much.
All right.
Yeah.
Love prison.
Other prison movies.
There are a lot of prison movies.
Oh, yeah.
Prison movie.
That's not a prison movie.
Yes, it is a prison.
What?
Sean Shank Redemption.
It's a superhero movie.
Yeah, come on.
Steve Martin.
You said that.
Well, you know, he said that at the very top of the line.
We've established that's the best prison movies.
We don't even count it.
The warden was in Demolition Man.
Really?
Yeah.
Caveman.
Blood In, blood out.
Prison movie.
Yep.
I like how I'm testing.
Zaz, do you approve of this?
I can confirm.
Ernest goes to jail.
Oh, yeah, that's a good one.
How many places did he go?
Man, Ernest did.
He went to jail.
He went to camp.
He was scared, stupid.
He was scared so stupid.
Oh, I got one for Zaz.
I know Zaz is going to love this one.
Great movie.
Oh, that's a good movie.
Wow.
Great.
Good movie.
He goes to court, and then he actually argues for his freedom, and he wins and then he goes off on the judge for letting him go.
He calls her all types of names.
Not going to get into it.
Prison movie?
No, it's Mental Institute.
Mental Institution.
Yeah.
Different.
Prison of his own mind?
No, no.
You're getting too complicated here.
Life.
Oh, Life is excellent.
Oh, Life's an excellent movie.
Do I consider that a prison movie?
I mean, I guess it is, but it's a comedy, you know?
Cuckoo had to escape.
Cuckoo's Nest is not a prison movie.
No, Mental Institution.
Mental Institution, yeah.
Dark Knight?
Yeah.
Or is it Dark Knight Rises?
Which one is he in?
In Dark Knight Rises, he's in the pit.
Who never really understood that?
Broken back.
Did they fly him out there?
Where was this?
It's so strange because then when he breaks out of the prison, how does he so easily get back into Gotham, which is under Bane's control, and they're not letting you cross the bridge?
It's really weird.
That is true.
It's a plot hole.
That's a plot hole.
What?
The art direction here is all orange and dusty.
All right.
How does...
Where is this?
Just right out of the world.
Right outside of Gotham.
You go a couple of miles.
It may have been in Gotham.
I mean, how'd he get back into Gotham?
How'd he get out of the desert once he got out of the hole?
There's nobody there, right?
There's so much exposition needed here.
But broken back.
His boy fixed it, remember, because he climbed up the thing.
Look, Nolan was dealt a bad hand.
Clearly, the Joker was supposed to be a huge part of this story.
I think he did the best he could.
Honest to God, I watched Dark Knight yesterday.
Movie's so good.
Heath Ledger, good performance.
Yes.
Anytime I watch a good movie, I feel like I've won the lottery.
What?
And just so you know, we're actually teaming up with Jackpocket,
America's number one lottery app.

Use that code, and that's it.
Dark Knight Rises better than Dark Knight.
Okay, that's just
asinine.
Just incorrect.
Now we're just saying things that are wrong.
I like Dark Knight Rises better.
I think it's better.
Subjective.
I like Bane better than Joker.
Hey, guys, do Haywood High Smiths grow on trees?
Yes, they do.
We'll get into that.
Once the live hour's over, right here on the Dan Levittard show with Stugats.
Hey, it's Mike Ryan.
Those sprinklers are starting to slowly come up on the football field.
Time that we have with summer is dwindling.
I'm sure you're already doing that thing where you're going through your photo album, flipping through the photos that you've taken this summer, already reminiscing about the good times that you have.
I know I did.
And in many of the pictures that I went back to reminisce over, I had a beautiful white can of Miller Light in my hand because I love making good times during the summer a Miller time.
And it's a good reminder, we're losing time on this summer.
So why don't you share the moments that you have with a white can of Miller Light like I have?
Whether it's a long weekend or a full-on vacation.
It is the perfect time to get the crew back together.
And since 1975, Miller Light has been the go-to way to stock the cooler and celebrate those moments.
This year marks 50 years of Miller time.
50 years of great taste, great friends, and unforgettable memories.
Brewed for flavor with simple ingredients like malted barley, it delivers rich, balanced hoffey note flavor and that golden color that just hits different.
Miller Light, great taste, 96 calories.
Go to MillerLite.com/slash/dan to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Light pretty much anywhere they sell beer.
Cheers to 50 years of Miller Time.
Celebrate responsibly.
