Hour 2: Billy's Barber Bind

Now's 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.

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.

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

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.

This is the Don Labatar Show with the Stu Gats Podcast.

All right, we talked about sports billionaire owners and we talked about bank accounts and my bank account's looking kind of thin.

I wish I had- Come on, Roy.

I mean, I gotta start playing the lottery, man.

Yes.

Yeah, and that's why we're teaming up with Jackpocket now.

Over 600 million, roy yeah man i need that money it's america's number one lottery app play powerball mega millions and even scratch offs with just a couple of taps new customers get five dollars in lottery credits when you download the app opt-in and use code superfan at signup go grab the jackpocket app and use that code and that's it dan How much would you give me, Roy, if you won $600 million?

I always wonder what I would give out.

I wonder what Roy would give me.

I really don't understand.

Like, if I won, I would totally give a friend a million bucks, whatever, make him happy.

George Clooney, the the george clooney uh treatment i would give a million dollars yeah but what is a friend like me how much i wouldn't call me and you friends yet zaz like what would i get oh wow well but if if you needed something you know and we worked like i'll help you out you know

Are we going to do friend or co-worker here?

Because Billy just heard you.

I mean, Billy took offense.

Billy.

Spent three weeks of you guys every day together.

Oh, no, exactly.

Zaz and I much closer than we were months ago.

But just to flat out tell him to his face, you're not my friend is a bit rude.

I mean, geez, come out early, you say, My mom's a monster, you're not my friend.

Like, what's going on with you today, buddy?

I wasn't offended by it, though.

It's all good.

Well, we're talking money here, okay?

So it's okay to differentiate.

Zaz, you've gotten very popular.

People love how you say Thai food.

I don't know what that means, but I've just been good.

I mean, it is good.

Orange chicken.

It is.

Fried rice.

He doesn't know what Thai food means.

Thai food.

It's delicious.

It is.

I know.

Egg rolls.

Actual Thai food.

That is Chinese food, what he's doing.

Yeah, and it needs to stop.

I don't know why he's doing that.

Beef and broccoli.

It's not a cultural catch-all.

Mongolian beef.

No, you're doing that incorrectly.

I have in play here a couple of things that I want to get to.

Jeremy has a song to remind me of all of the things that I missed.

Let's do option B.

I don't know that you're going to like that one much better, though, because.

I can't like it much less.

Well, okay, but let me tell you what option B is because Greg Cody is come in here and the haircut he has is spectacular.

Lucio, Greg Cody has done a lot of grooming on Metal Ark's Dime, and right now he looks tremendous, totally cleaned up.

And what was supposed to be a punishment, Greg Cody trips up the show, ends up with, I believe him going home to a wife who's going to think he looks better than he ever has leaving here.

I don't know about that.

Let's not get carried away.

She knew me in my 20s.

Greg Cutie.

Yes, thank you, Billy.

You said that she will either not notice at all or compliment it, but you are betting which way on that.

That's a tough call with her because she's a weirdo when it comes to that.

She has been bugging me for the past month plus that I need a haircut.

When are you going to get a haircut?

She is going to be thrilled and notice it immediately, I am maintaining.

That is the Lucio magic.

That's what I would bet.

I would bet you that amount, and then you tell me, what should the amount be on that bet?

I think she will notice that Lucio has made you sexier.

Oh, I'll bet you 20 bucks.

I mean, that's something that you could just lie about.

So you can make it a bigger bet.

That's it.

And just say that it went your way.

Yeah, she's in on the bet.

I give her 10.

There you go.

You know, I keep 10.

Cut her in.

But there have been times in the past, in all seriousness, when I will get a haircut after being bugged by her to get a haircut, and she'll come home from work.

Hey, how was your day?

And hours go by, and she has a lot of money.

I promise you, I am promising you.

How long have you been married?

40-somethings.

Okay, I'm going to win this bet.

She is going to notice notice you looked very messy coming in here today.

You're leaving here looking

very clean.

Can you walk into your home?

That was a small window.

You got the annoying message.

That's right.

Really fit that in there.

Can you walk into your home like recording so we could hear the reaction?

Recording the whole thing?

What do you think?

I think he knows how to do that.

Judging by the video we saw earlier, no.

Yeah, I would.

If I could get an instant recording,

I would like to pay you by the hour to go produce the thing of your dad walking in.

I am sure she's going to notice very soon.

I'll teach him how to set up his voice memo so we can record the audio.

They took the camera off of his home screen for some reason.

I know, they did.

Why?

The whole logo.

Why?

It's not there anymore.

I don't know.

Billy, options.

The Spotify logo fell off my camera, and I use that more than any other logo on the screen.

Did you pick it up?

On the screen.

No, it disappeared when I say it fell off.

I don't know what you guys are talking about.

No, it's good.

The logo fell off his camera, man.

Keep up.

I've got to start to type in the word spawner.

Are you surprised that on a wild Billy Wednesday, Billy would go super inside?

You're surprised by that, are you, Chris?

I'm going to say something I might regret.

Make it poop, Billy Wednesday.

Go on.

We should have taken the Jeremy Tashay option.

I mean, you say that, but I haven't gotten to my second option yet, which Billy's going to like worse than the Jeremy Tashay option.

Seems unlikely.

Greg, Jeremy's the one on the far left.

I have.

Hey, Greg, it's me, Jeremy.

Wow.

Fake limited Jeremy.

Do you think you're family?

Poor Jeremy.

No, please, you two develop and sharpen the fake limited Jeremy.

That was that's my favorite, Jeremy.

The bobbing into your broadcasting screen, just sort of lobbing the broadcasting song.

Hey, guys, I'm totally natural here while being not natural.

Too far, Daddy.

He's a talent.

I agree.

He makes good songs.

And one of these songs is going to be on display in a second.

But I got to put this option before Billy.

Billy, Lucio's given free haircuts.

And I told people to just gather around Lucio and anybody who needs a haircut should get one.

And I heard in my periphery somebody say that you either needed or wanted a haircut.

And I looked at you and it looked like there was a great deal of hair underneath the mop.

You've got a good set of hair.

Are you, do you have barber loyalties in play here?

Because Because some people have unique relationships with their barbers and never miss.

I'm in a barber bind at the moment, and I could use a haircut.

I'm in two barber binds at the moment.

Oh, boy.

My original barber, my barber that I go to to get a haircut, has disappeared,

which is a bit of a bind.

And I followed him from one barber shop to another barber shop, and now he appears to no longer be at this barber shop.

And I have to determine whether or not I want to follow him to a third barber shop.

Do I want to text him directly?

Because I would book him through an app that he told me, don't text me, use the app.

So I have to use the app to get him, but he's no longer there.

He's not at the barbershop anymore.

And based on the last conversation I had with him, he may be in Lakeland now.

And that's a bit of a drive to go to see the same barber.

So I don't know if I want to just pull the plug because if he's gone to a third barber shop and I reach out, then I have to go to the third barber shop.

The price changes one barbershop to the next.

So do I just start over fresh with a new barber?

That's barber bind number one.

Also, he thinks I'm a cop, but then he doesn't think I'm a cop.

He asked me if I was a drug addict.

It's a whole thing.

So that's barber bind number one.

Barber bind number two is this could all be resolved today, or I could put a band-aid on the situation and just get a haircut, and then I could prolong the amount of time I need to figure out what to do with said barber bind number one.

But barber bind number two that we have here goes back a couple weeks when we found out that there was a possibility of a barber coming because everyone out there was talking, like, just sign up.

Someone's going to kind of cut hair here.

And the general consensus in this office was, well, surely there's a catch.

Like, this is some sort of prank Dan's going to do.

He likes people in costumes.

He's going to instruct the barber to shave everyone's head.

Like, this can't be a normal situation where there's just a barber here giving haircuts.

Wait till you see the back of my dad's head.

Yeah, something's going on.

So that's barber buy number two: is that everyone is kind of, if you're wondering why there's been no activity, it's because everyone kind of talked about this

behind you.

And they think that there's something up here and that you may have instructed him to kind of shave people's heads, mess up their hairs, et cetera, et cetera.

Greg, spin around.

Let the audience see the back.

That's a cock.

Oh, my God.

That's a cock.

That's a person.

The perfect first one is it's, you know, that's like, look, this is all on the up and up.

But if you've noticed, no one's lining up because everyone's kind of wondering, when is this going to...

Well, no, no, no.

Billy's got a major pen only five minutes for being Billy I feel like we were wrapping up there he was bringing it home

I can't have my head shaved okay and that's what I'm worried is gonna happen if I'm gonna be perfectly honest and not because I don't trust Lucio I trust Lucio I miss Lucio I want to go up sounds like you don't trust Lucio I don't well I think he you know Lucio is not one to stand up to marching murders Lucio goes back a long way with us he does he's great by the way Lucio I love that guy he's but you don't trust him you guys think he's going to shave your head?

You think Lucio would

trust him?

They don't trust you.

Yeah.

It could be that I was the one to make everybody think he's going to give you a new one.

A false sense of security.

See here?

And now that I've thrown it out there, even if that wasn't the plan, now that plan is thought of, like, well,

maybe this is a plan.

See?

Lucio is mine number three.

You guys, you disrespect him by not making him his own proper entity.

Once again, we're not worried about Lucio.

Not worried about Lucio.

No, no.

Luzo's going to do a great job.

Yep.

It is suspicious.

You had three and a half weeks to concoct.

Don't be suspicious.

You were texting someone when you were falling down the stairs.

It might have been Lucio.

I mean, Lucio may be honoring the agreement he made with you.

Uh-huh.

Which is to shave Billy's head.

A man of honor.

I wasn't worried about this, but now I am.

You only came in here and said, Billy, don't you want a haircut?

Which is like, well, what's the

Billy?

People are saying you look terrible out there.

You really need to cut your hair, Billy.

Thanks.

You are in a real

plane.

Billy, I'm going to be honest with you.

Out there, Dan walked walked by me.

He goes, Does Billy want a haircut?

Okay, I didn't say it.

What's going on here?

No, but I thought

me and Chris can cut our hair together.

Me and Billy,

then maybe.

Can I get a haircut with a hat on?

What?

Yes.

Go ahead.

Both of you should go and get your haircut from Lucio at the same time.

Can I get back to the rest of the show, please?

I told you, Billy, you'd like this option less than the other one.

So am I getting a haircut?

Yes.

Oh.

Yes.

And we still have to listen to Jeremy's song.

Yes.

Well, no, you.

So no one wants.

Well, you're going to get a nice haircut.

You're going to try.

And then afterward, you're going to trust me and Lucio to not embarrass you, and you're going to have more love in your heart.

I want to say one thing about the haircut thing.

Am I the only one who noticed that Dan referred to Billy as having a nice set of hair?

Who says that phrase?

A nice set of hair?

I've never heard that phrase before.

I didn't realize I had said that.

It's on record.

Okay, misspeak.

Apparently, I am the only one who noticed that.

Sounds like a misspeak.

Nice set of hair i'm uh i'm sorry i did that you really uh should be you really got gotta go lettuce there nice set of nice set of lettuce oh it's got some great lettuce uh billy just greeted lucio with a vigorous hug yeah and it was nice to see them get together uh billy has a good uh head of hair is what i thought i said good set of hair i thought i i thought it was a good head of hair replay that tape i think billy has the best set of hair he does that we have around here.

What a set.

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.

Don Lebatard.

That's how it's gonna end.

The mailing and end of the retirement Chris, go get me this.

It's just going to be him coming out and hitting the one or two notes of that kind of thing, and you know it, and then just giving us finger guns and leaving.

Baby,

you should listen to the Great Cody Show podcast because that's all we do for 55 minutes a week is just say catchphrases.

We even make songs about them.

And you know it is a song for Crying Out Loud.

It's great.

Hopefully, that's a Suey nominee for best song.

And you know it, baby, and you know it.

Stugats.

And you know it, baby, and you know it.

And you know it, baby, and you know it.

And you know it, baby, and you know it.

This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

The Jeremy song is,

this is We Didn't Start the Fire.

Now, we have done this before.

This song has been done before in a previous incarnation by Hawk, who produced a bunch of pirates.

It was, as I recall, We Didn't Start the Fire, was just naming random pirates.

Do I have that wrong, Roy?

Blackbeard, Dale Barron, John McKay, Bill Day, Walk the Plank, IPatch, Vince DiMaggio, Bill Madlock, Jim Fragosi, Connie Mack, Willie Star, Jalima Zillian, Lloyd McCarthy, and the first thing I've got to do.

We got the point.

Let's go.

Yeah, we got it.

Okay, very good.

Confirmed.

And now Jeremy is trying to get in there, and Jeremy is trying to recap.

He's trying to get me caught up because you do fall behind.

I was disconnected on vacation when I wasn't in my phone falling down a flight of stairs.

And so I don't know what happened.

I will tell you that I learned a number of ridiculous things in Hawaii.

One of them,

I can't believe how popular our show is there.

Like truly stunned that our show

in Hawaii, I was treated in Hawaii the way I'm treated in Miami in a way that just really caught me off guard.

Anyone ask about me?

They did, actually.

There are big fans of the show.

There are some questions I wanted to ask you guys.

We were syndicated out there when we were at ESPN, and it was a morning show for a lot of folks out there.

I encountered that, too, when I went out there.

Well, but I was really taken aback.

It was really, it was heartening to see how popular our show is an ocean away in a place that is just super lovely and reminds me of Miami in a lot of ways, except never saw any police officers there the entire time.

How's the traffic?

And there was no traffic.

Like I'm Saturday and Sunday night.

I couldn't believe there was no traffic.

They're going to sleep.

They're going to sleep.

They are not awake late on that island.

There's not a lot of light on that island late at night.

There was no 5-0?

America is sleeping, and Hawaii goes to bed kind of early.

And it was lovely.

It was lovely the entire time.

Did you bump into Oprah Winfrey?

I did not.

She's got a gated community there.

Her and Zuckerberg are just, they've got half the island.

And they did right in doing that.

Even as Zuckerberg builds a bomb shelter there because he doesn't want us to come for him when he steals all the things.

Quite an aside there by you.

Yeah.

So, yeah, well, but he's just gobbling up this precious, precious land there because he can, and it has offended the locals because that place is America and not America.

Like it's a little bit removed in a way that's lovely.

It's really nice, safe, fun, and wonderful.

I had a lovely time there.

But the thing that took me aback was the number of times that I was arriving in sports fandom and it caught me off guard.

One of them.

I wanted to ask you guys how generally you feel about the deep sea.

We're South Floridians here.

My wife's brother and father are fishermen and outdoorsmen, so they are very comfortable with the deep sea as a family, right?

And so when I imagined snorkeling or what it is that we were going to do, I did not imagine that my visibility would be 150 feet, but I would not be anywhere near seeing the bottom of the ocean.

I would be near a volcano and now I'm going out deep sea.

And I'm telling my wife, because she's very comfortable with this.

I'm like, honey, I don't, I know this group of people is comfortable with this, but I think most people are uncomfortable swimming in the deep sea even if it's a group of of people we're in the pacific ocean and this is a long ways out so i don't know how comfortable you guys are with any of this but i'm a little um

even with ron mcgill and everything else i want to go see this and the wonder of it but i'm a little unnerved because i don't love it and emotion sick because it's big waves and i'm bouncing around and i don't feel very well and i'm i'm in the ocean

and as we're going in

uh one of the people in our group of people, I don't know, it was 30 people.

One of your snorkeling friends?

Looks, yeah, one of my snorkeling friends looks up at me and says, I don't know who this person is.

I've never met him before.

Dolphins, over or under seven and a half.

And I had to go under there.

Was he asking maybe, do you see seven and a half?

How many dolphins do you see right now?

You are deep sea snorkeling.

Did he say hello?

How many are we going to see?

It was a good question, though.

Dolphins over or under seven and a half it's a tough one that's a lot i mean you got the patriots and the jets twice but you don't trust your quarterback to stay healthy homer it's low take the over trust me how many dolphins did you see yeah didn't see any dolphins under disappointing

deep sea how do you guys feel about this not a fan nope not a fan

soap me doll for other people as tony would say what's that note on my leg

because valerie didn't understand i was saying hon i think most people are with me on this.

I don't, I don't think most people

like.

I know in this group of people, this people, these people are fine with this.

And I'm good with turtles and reefs.

And I'm good if I can see the ocean floor.

But when my visibility is 150 feet and we're by a volcano, and like, oh, wait a minute.

And, and, our, and our, the catamaran is bobbing around in a way that if you're not taking motion sickness stuff, you're not going to feel very good.

No, the ocean's for going in waist deep, peeing, and getting right back out.

I've never once been living my life, and I said, you know what I wish I was doing right now?

In the deep sea.

So, okay, so this was funny to have this conversation with Valerie.

So put it on the poll at Lebatarge Show.

Deep sea snorkeling.

Yes or no?

The visual of it with you doing it is funny.

And in the Pacific?

That's where the big ones are.

Yeah.

Did you fall backwards?

Oh, that's scuba diving.

I was the one out there, and I felt pathetic because there were kids in the water, right?

And I'm holding the boogie board because I don't, I don't like.

Oh, you look like a seal?

Are you crazy?

Hey, you ever watched Shark Week in your life?

You went on a boogie board in the deep sea off Hawaii.

You deserve to die.

Rookie.

Straight up.

Yeah, rookie.

Did you wear yellow too?

That's yum, yum, yellow.

I feel like...

Did you cut yourself?

Well, I was cut from the flight of stairs.

Oh, no.

At the flight of stairs, I had to help.

My elbow and my knee were bleeding because, yes.

And so, but the thing that, so I'm i'm surrounded by people who really are comfortable in this environment they're here for the adventure of it and the wonder of it is majestic if you're not afraid the discovery is awesome like you'd be awed by what's down there colorful the most beautiful things you've ever seen keep going because in my head i'm visualizing jeremy at the edge of his seat for 20 minutes waiting to hear his own voice and i'm loving the visual don't actually get to it

right by the way our sources our research sources have confirmed that you referred to billy as having a nice set of hair.

If you've got a good set of hair.

Okay, you got me, Greg.

I'm cornered.

You idiot.

Yeah,

I feel so foolish.

He's refused bits today and corrected you.

Yeah.

It's okay to correct me.

I just wish it were funny.

He pointed to the wrong rose.

That was a row.

That's another thing.

Can you play a little more for me of Hawk's old pirate song using the We Didn't Start the Fire music as we wait as Jeremy waits

to see if his song will play.

Scurvy, Buried Treasure, Raymond James, Stadium, Test of Birdie, Keyshawn Johnson, Ken O'Birkfeld, Ed Ott, Dave Parker, Leroy Selman, Chump Bucket, Michael Stott, Kentucko, Richie Zinbrick Rushall, and John Gruden.

We are scared.

It is the ultimate recap song.

Yes, and so Jeremy is going to catch me up on three and a half weeks.

Dolphin seven and a half is a good question, but I have, I'm rarely right with Valerie.

I'm usually actually wrong.

I don't even mean like she's doing anything.

I'm just often wrong.

And so I was confused by her just being like, no, I think most people would enjoy.

jumping into the deep sea here and seeing what's here and love the possibility of that.

And I was saying to her, well, I just thought we'd be going in like a lagoon or a bay or something where I could see

giant turtles.

Well, look, all I'm saying is if it's 150 feet of visibility, if I've got good stuff on my eyes and I can see, but I can't see near the ocean floor, I don't want to be there.

And I think some people who are outdoor people, like I think there are many people listening to this thinking we are wasting our use of South Florida if we're not.

better there.

Like that we live in one of the great places for all of that stuff and we are failing because we are landlubbers who can't appreciate why why it is so many people live in this wonderful paradise we have down here.

Like, I don't think we're exploring South Florida correctly.

I love being in a boat on the ocean.

That's great.

I don't like being a couple of Miller lights.

Yeah, I don't like being outside of a boat.

I don't like being underneath where the boat is sitting.

That's a road game.

No, thank you.

Yeah, I mean, I live nine miles from the Atlantic Ocean.

I can count on one hand the times in a year.

I can whoop a shark on land.

I treat the deep ocean the way that an SEC team would treat its non-conference schedule.

Yeah, yeah.

Or just playing these games at home.

I'll just stand there for like five minutes.

Now what you got, shark?

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe Old Dominion.

There's monsters in the ocean that you can't see.

We know more about outer space and aliens than we know about the deep ocean.

I go to the beach once a year for a Panthers celebration of a Stanley Cup win.

That's it.

We sound like idiots.

I mean, Ron McGill would be infuriated by what it is we're saying here.

I did.

No, well, no,

I took motion sickness medicine before I went, and it's medicine that took me out for two days after.

Oh, yeah, drama.

Were you wearing the deal behind the ear?

I've done, I've done all that.

I did do the deep sea snorkeling in Hawaii against my better judgment.

I threw up just, I got seasick within the sea.

But all the other people on the excursion were very happy because all the beautiful fish, they came to eat my puke.

This was,

I'm not, let me throw a few things out at you first.

None of them being Jeremy's songs.

None of them being Jeremy's songs, but perhaps a few more of Hawk's Pirates.

I think I wouldn't mind hearing just a few more of Hawks Pirates from this song 15 years ago when we did it the first time.

Not well.

We are scared of pirates.

They are always scary and they're never caring.

We are scared of pirates.

And we will not fight them, but we will start crying, crying,

perish, Congo, Congo, cruise ship, cruise ship, Gruden, Bruden, Parish, Congo, cruise ship, ruden, perish, Congo, cruise ship, ruden, perish,

did you guys talk at all and recapping while I was gone, did you guys

talk at all about Gruden winning that leaked emails lawsuit?

Because basically some judges got together and they were like, no, it's ridiculous.

Goodell can't be the defendant and the arbiter on this.

Oh, that is.

No, we missed that topic.

If only there were a way that we can find out the topics that we may have missed on vacation, but there's no way that's going to discovery.

Congrats to John Gruden on a settlement.

You can't help but laugh at what we're going to put in front of judges, okay?

Hey, what do you think of this, okay?

So

Goodell runs this hugely popular league, and Gruden does a bunch of bad stuff by email, and they probably, you know, character assassinated him with a bunch of leakage.

And you know who's going to hear the arbitration?

The defendant, Roger Goodell.

And it wasn't wasn't even unanimous.

It wasn't all the judges saying this is ridiculous.

And congratulations, John Green.

You're not a homophobe or a racist, even though we saw your leaked emails.

You are a freedom fighter and a martyr.

There you go.

Democracy lives.

Taken apart by the NFL and its greedy.

I mean, greedy means.

You guys didn't talk about that at all.

We missed that one.

Jeremy is going to be hurt now because he wants to recap the last few weeks.

What did I miss that I really would have wanted to talk about?

Do you guys.

Maybe we talk about it after the song.

The song could help.

Okay.

But also, pissing off Jeremy is appealing.

Will Jeremy mention his own racism in his song?

All right.

Let's play.

Let's play a song.

Let's play Start of the Day here.

Let's do a song.

Start of the day, start of the day.

It is the start of the day.

Start of the day.

Start of the day.

It is the start of the day.

Start of the day.

Start of the day.

It is the start of the day.

Start of the day, start of the day.

It is the start of the day.

A few weeks ago, I said on here,

gave out some betting advice that if there's anything I know in the world, it's you always bet against Trevor Rogers.

I gave that advice probably

a little bit more than a month ago.

Here's a fun stat.

Among 173 pitchers with 60 plus innings pitched this season, Trevor Rogers' 1.41 ERA is the best in Major League Baseball.

Oh boy.

So my advice,

pretty bad.

And in my defense, Trevor Rogers was bad with the Marlins and something happened.

Okay,

this is a good entry point to just talk about what a laughing stock this show's coverage of the AL East has been over the course of the last 18 months, led by me and Chris Cody.

I told you when I saw the Orioles, their minor league system and what they did last year, I told you that the Orioles would be good for 10 years.

They are not because they have no pitching.

Their best pitching is Trevor Rogers, who Chris Cody said, and I agree with him.

I said he's a five, five ERA, no matter when he pitches, best in baseball.

Okay.

I also said,

because of how good the Orioles were and how good the Blue Jays are and how good the Rays are, that the Yankees were closer to the bottom of the division than the top when the season started.

I did this because of how good I thought the Orioles would be.

They are not good.

But Trevor Rogers for them

has been amazing.

That concludes our embarrassing AL East coverage.

We have gotten nothing right.

You were kind of, the Yankees have been bad.

Yeah, but I thought Baltimore was going to run that division.

You don't understand how loaded their farm system was.

Like, they just, they've had so many injuries, and pitching pitching is a difficult thing because it's those arms get hurt too much.

It's it's crazy.

I just got a text from Jeremy.

What the?

I got one that said Orioles talk?

Okay, wait a minute.

What, that, that guy, what, he took time off from uttering slurs to text you guys?

That is true.

He is a racist.

And now he's cursing at us.

Bad work environment.

Toxic work environment.

I feel like that's bullying.

Why is he cursing at us?

Is there more of that Hawk Pirate song that you got there?

Or are we all out of pirates?

pirates?

We are out of pirates.

Is he racist or xenophobic?

Yeah, that's true.

Well, that's a slur.

Right.

I don't know, but it was just like honed in on Irish people.

Yeah, it really was.

Fine-tuned.

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.

Most security systems only react after a break.

SimplySafe helps stop it before that happens.

The levatard.

What do I got here?

I got a magnum condom.

We won't get that out.

That's shocking.

Stugats.

Here's a picture of Christopher when he was like three years old.

Right next to the condom.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's got a little reminder.

Yeah, forever.

Never forget it.

This is the Don Lebatar show with the Stugats.

Billy, that haircut is coming.

That is looking good.

Lucio is doing a bang-up job here of cleaning up our people.

Look at this.

I don't know about his binder, his barber bind, but you guys would say if your barber has left for Lakeland, he's no longer your barber, right?

Like, say for a while, you don't chase a barber, he chases you.

Wow.

Yeah.

Well, what if it's a good barber?

No, I don't think you don't, you don't have this kind of intimate relationship with your barber because you don't care about these things.

Wait, Billy does.

I did recently switch barbers because he switched locations and I just didn't like that location.

Wait a minute.

I think this might be a three or four Americas thing.

There are absolutely culturally here people, a whole bunch of people who have relationships with their barbers.

Just because you guys don't care about your hair,

this is an intimate act.

You're having someone groom you.

It's not,

not many men are doing a lot of other grooming professionally that they're handing out to others because of whatever our repressions are there.

I just look at it as a haircut.

You know, I don't look at grooming.

I mean, come on.

It's a haircut.

Okay, it's looking good and taking care of how it is that you look.

Billy, how is it going back there?

Was your mistrust, was your mistrust misplaced?

no i always trusted lucio that was not in question here what are you doing with your barber that's so intimate by the way that's more than just a haircut

i'm just you don't normally lend out a man no doesn't normally lend out his grooming to others

okay lucio how's this going so far

this is really good no this is almost finish alma finish in five minutes more okay gracias good decision there billy What's your favorite color, Lucio?

Great.

All right.

Cut him off.

How do I penalize it anymore?

There we go.

Thank you, Billy.

Appreciate all your good work in there.

Keep it coming.

Wait, one more question.

Dolphins, over-under, seven and a half.

This one's for Lucio.

Lucio, do you think the Dolphins are going to win more or less than seven and a half games this year?

There's 17 games, as you know.

Seven and a half.

Yeah, so are they going to win eight games?

Are they going to win seven seven games or more than eight or less than seven?

That's how that's asked.

I think maybe more than eight.

Wow.

What do you make of the big Darren Waller news today?

I don't have an idea.

Okay.

We're all kind of in that position right now.

Not me.

I'm in a different position.

I know.

The only Darren Waller back there.

I am rooting for Darren Waller.

Thank you for all your good work there, Billy and Lucio.

I love the sound of Clippers.

Not since Big Mac have we had such good work coming out of another part of the building.

It is a good sound.

You're right.

Nice sound.

Nice.

It's a great sound.

Jeremy's so mad.

Jeremy's song recaps what kind of things.

Have any of you heard it?

Yes, I've heard it.

It's just obscure things on this show.

There are some news story items in there, but it's a lot of just mundane stuff from the show.

Just kind of give you a feel for what you missed.

Yeah, main line, what you missed out on.

Cliff notes of the show over the last close to a month.

And should we get to that, though?

Or at this point, we're five minutes from ending the show.

And how long is that song?

Jeremy tends to be pretty long-winded.

And if I could talk about Zach Wilson for a while, I'd like to do that.

I think the song might inspire some topics.

Oh, you talked about this, why?

So I would like to give a little back-end time.

Yeah, and also, we kind of want to incentivize the creativity that Jeremy Tashay is bringing, which is, of course, doing a parody of a parody song because Hawk did it first.

But what if I wanted to talk about like the sadness that came over me because Mariona Rivera tours Achilles during an old-timers game?

Well, how did you find out about it when you were in Hawaii and you were, you know, disconnected?

2 a.m.

check.

It's what I was looking for when I fell down that flight of stairs and bloodied myself in a way that would make me a victim.

Mariano.

Totally sober at 2 a.m.

in the deep sea.

I was totally sober at Love.

You say Mariano, no, no, and I was wondering if we do analyze Zach Wilson, can we play because of the Zach Wilson experience of every once in a while he'll make a throw and you'll be like, hey, that's John Elway.

And then there's just the rest of the time.

So can we have, can we use on this show Tom Hanks yelling at that volleyball Wilson to sort of chronicle the sound that a Dolphin fan will feel this season if Tua does indeed go down?

And now you're stuck with the Zach Wilson experience of he's probably going to give you three interceptions, play a lot of, make a lot of bad throws, and make two throws a game that you're like, that's the best throw I've ever seen.

Ooh, I don't even know if he's QB2 though.

Quinn Yuri

lit the town ablaze.

I never heard of a 4 for 16 talked about so positively.

It was crazy.

Yeah, other than those two lost fumbles, though, really.

I mean, really good.

How did a dolphins practice get so bad that it reached across a deep sea to me in the deep ocean where I was disconnected and people were talking about that bad dolphins practice?

Yeah, but did someone explain to me what happened?

You didn't follow the next day's news where they were like, they were better.

A little better today.

Better practice.

Played dolphin football.

Yeah.

Whatever that means.

Sandy, you know what dolphin football is?

I don't anymore.

I don't know anymore what that means because this season at least they're going in again with no expectations.

Like they did that thing.

They did the same thing the Browns did with Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham and Baker Mayfield for one year where one year of expectations.

You, the Bills and the Browns, will be the laughing stocks for 15 years in the entire league.

The Bills will climb out of it.

The Browns will go back to Flacco, go back to Flacco.

That's not going black to Flacco.

That's a totally different thing.

And the Dolphins are here, and I'm in the deep sea, and a guy's saying over, under seven and a half.

And I'm looking at the Jets and I'm looking at the Patriots.

And I'm like, no, don't trust their quarterback to stay healthy.

And I'm going under.

And I don't feel comfortable about it, but it's just football is going going to happen to them.

And they're not going to be able to withstand when football happens.

Did he have a follow-up?

Well, he went off without a boogie board, and I was still motion sick

on the deck of the boat.

They're giving me a boogie board, and it was very, it was pathetic.

It was like, sir, would you like,

they saw I was a little green.

They saw it.

You want some help here.

But you laugh.

I believe our audience right now,

do you guys think I have this wrong?

Is saying they cannot believe that we live in South Florida and between the all of us, there's no one who would want to go see a reef in the keys where you'd see the most amazing fish you've ever seen in your life and have very little likelihood of anything actually eating you.

I would think that the bigger danger would be currents and wind, honestly.

But you're talking about scuba diving, right?

You're talking about scuba diving, not just snorkeling.

Snorkeling is what he's talking about.

You got to go way down there to see anything interesting.

If you're just snorkeling five feet below the ocean top, you don't see much, right?

That is not accurate.

Okay.

And I'm not talking about scuba tiving, I'm talking about snorkeling.

And I'm also talking about the overall ignorance of the show displayed just there by not knowing anything about the ocean or the outdoors because we're fundamentally incompetent.

But poorly, poorly, we have led to Jeremy, and I feel too bad and rested and sun-kissed from vacation to actually not play the kids' song.

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.

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

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

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.

That invented tequila.

Hey, it's Mike Ryan.

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 cantoner 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.
