This is the Dan Labatar Show with the Stugats Podcast.

What a delight, Zaslow.

Look at Amin El Hassan joining us on remote here for this hour.

And we are blessed to have him here because we have not yet gotten to what is obviously the biggest news of the day.

We failed as a podcast in the modern age?

We covered Greg Cody.

We have not talked about.

We got to the Thielen trade.

We have not talked about Taylor and Travis are engaged.

The love was real.

And

Amin is someone who doesn't believe in love.

That's right.

I don't mind saying it.

I love love.

That might be your worst intro ever.

Wow.

Amin is someone who doesn't believe in love.

Tombstone, maybe?

You're all right, pal.

Inaccurate.

I love love.

That's very well documented.

There were many people that were cynical about the love of these two people, and you were one of them.

And

there were a lot more cynics than there were people who thought these two were really in love.

Have you heard Travis Kelsey's father talk about how in love his young boy is?

How in love, like he's he is smitten.

And there was more.

You're not going to tell me that most people in America were cynical about that relationship.

For it to end an engagement, love wins, and Amin who does not love, love, loses.

I love love.

And I was always, oh, is he?

That's L Duncan.

Different black person, Dan.

Not me.

Dan.

A lovely person, but that's not me.

Dan got confused.

Oh, that is the mistake I made.

That is the mistake.

Dan.

I'm sorry, Amin.

I'm sorry.

I thought you were L.

I love love, and

love that they love each other.

And, you know, me and the Kelsey brothers go way back

to before Taylor entered the picture.

And so I'm just really happy and supportive for them.

And I urge everyone, the public and the media, to give them their privacy.

Guys, let's not kind of descend like a bunch of falcons trying to grab meat.

from the uh from the clutches of a falconeer right

you see this all these companies are doing.

He's right.

What was that?

What was that?

Why the clutches?

Yeah.

Keep

going.

Let L talk, Dan.

Holding.

Yeah, L.

L.

Hassan, L.

Duncan.

No, it's like, you see, all these companies doing all these

promotions now.

Oh, put Taytay and Travis in the promo code and get 20% off.

Like, that's not nice.

You can't just use them as an excuse to sell your goods.

Can I ask you a question?

I mean, because the world seemed to stop yesterday when the news came out for whatever reason.

And you're right.

Like, everyone was taking their engagement photo and putting it up with their own comment and just kind of like trying to grift off of this whole thing.

And I was thinking similar to you.

Like, I mean, okay, they're engaged.

Like, they're not married yet.

Let's just pump the brakes.

They're just engaged.

Like, I've seen engagements fall apart all the time.

Not that I'm saying that would happen here.

But everyone was kind of like poking around and all this stuff.

And then old chatty Ed Kelsey is coming out and he's spilling all the details to pretty much anyone that would ask him.

And I'm kind of like, Ed, what are we doing here, bud?

Like, what's the end game here, Ed?

Like, what are we trying to get out of this?

Like, I know Donna got on a reality show and everybody loves Mama Kelsey.

Like, is this an envy thing with Papa Ed that now he's just out there telling anyone?

Like, oh, you know, you know, it didn't just happen.

I knew that.

This happened two weeks ago.

I know all the information.

I'll tell you all of it.

What's Ed's deal?

Billy, I'll answer you like this.

Imagine if Chris Cody, instead of being married to his lovely wife, was engaged to Taylor Swift.

How do you think he would behave?

I mean, does Taylor Swift know how much money you cashed in on the other day, Chris?

That's true.

We're not talking about that.

Let me hold a dollar.

But yeah, like, how do you think Greg would behave?

That's exactly how that's almost to a T what Greg would do.

Only Greg would have done it sooner.

What's the end game here, Ed?

I can't be the only one that wondered that.

You didn't think that when you see, like, oh, you know, confirm they've been engaged for a year.

He gave a lot of quotes saying he knew all the details.

He knew where the knees were.

Like, you know, where, weren't there two kneelings reported

that he proposed in a way on one knee, romantically?

Like, I don't, I'm confused by why people

reacted to this the way that they did, where it felt like it was the biggest thing that was happening anywhere.

in people talking.

Yes.

Dan, it was.

It was.

Yeah, was it not?

Name something that was not.

No, but why should it be?

Does it not seem extraordinarily?

Because your English teacher is marrying the gym teacher, Dan.

Dynamite emoji.

She's the biggest pop star in the world.

It's news.

People seem interested in their relationship, it would appear.

And her art is deeply personal in that it's biographical.

Autobiographical.

Are we concerned?

Are we concerned about how the music is going to suffer?

Because

being too happy.

You know, love?

I mean, I was thinking, and I'd like to and Roy teased it earlier I have a pickle that I think that we may have found ourselves in if you'd like to play the repeat it Roy

how much

299

it's a good deal hell of a deal

So I like you Amin I love love but I I'm also a practical man and I think a lot of people started having this conversation yesterday and it was Will there be a prenup in this marriage?

Whoa.

Yeah, I don't know.

You guys are men of mean.

You guys have prenups?

Anyone have a prenup here?

Yep.

No, I'm kidding.

No prenups?

I do not.

No.

I'm a mean.

Okay, well.

Not a man of mean.

I don't know how prenups work, but they seem to me to be awkward to bring up the situation of, hey, I love you.

I want to make this forever, but maybe it won't be.

And in the case that it isn't, I want you to have nothing and suffer.

So, like, that's what a prenup seems like it is.

That was a quick conversation with me and my wife.

It was super quick because I assumed we were getting a prenup.

So, I'm like, yeah, I'm just going to get a prenup, right?

And she's like, Yeah, I'll get a lawyer too.

And I'm like, Okay, I really don't want to do it that way.

Well, that would have been fun.

Why didn't you do that?

No, I mean, come on, like, what are we doing?

No prenup.

What are we doing?

I'm going to get married at 50 years old, and I'm going to say, by way of romance, let's gather up our lawyers.

Escaped quick.

Have you not been told what wives love?

You know who loves it more?

Who?

Ex-wives.

Because they were once a wife.

It doesn't go away.

And now the love is gone for you.

It grows.

Yeah.

Well, anywho, friends, so the pre-nup might be coming, and the prenup obviously will be more so to protect Taylor than Travis because Taylor has, I don't know if you guys have heard this,

a lot of money.

Is she worth over a billion dollars?

I think so.

Think about this.

Has an athlete ever married a woman

worth a billion dollars?

Tom Brady?

Tom Brady.

Giselle Bunchin, do you think it was worth a billion dollars?

I don't think Giselle's worth a billion dollars.

No way.

No, yes, she was, but

you better pump your brakes.

A billion dollars.

Ill of Giselle?

No, we're not speaking ill.

Saying someone's not a billionaire is not speaking ill of them.

Hey, Amin, you're not a billionaire.

The internet says she's worth $400 million, so maybe we were wrong.

So not even close.

Okay.

But she was.

Okay, but Giselle Bunchen made more money in her career than Tom Brady.

Yeah, Yeah, when you started saying that.

And then Brady made more money.

But also, not a billion dollars.

Also, it's funny to say you're worth $400 million.

You're not even close to a billion.

But she's not.

Which is true.

She's further away from a billion than she is.

She's closer to having no money.

Than a billion.

Billion dollars seems to be a lot of money.

It sounds like Giselle Bunchen might be broke.

Closer to being broke than a billionaire for sure.

But she did get divorced from Tom.

Put it on the poll at Lebetard show.

That's a good point, Billy.

And we don't know what.

No one knows their prenup.

There might have been a prenup.

There There could have been a situation where Tom said, prenup, and Giselle said, I'll get my lawyers.

So what's the pickle here?

All right, so here's the pickle.

Just so you know, we cited the internet.

Times of India says Giselle's now worth more than Tom, but also citing the divorce as to why.

Yikes.

All right, so here's the pickle.

We would assume that the prenup would protect Taylor from losing, you know, half of her stuff or whatever it is, should this marriage that hasn't happened yet, should it not work out.

Now, if you're you're Travis, I think you have some leverage here, right?

You say, you know what, babe, or whatever he calls Taylor, you know what, babe, I would love to sign that prenup, but included in that prenup, I would like a stipulation, I will not get half of your stuff.

However, should this not work out, there will be no love songs written about our relationship.

And now Taylor needs to decide,

I can make, I don't know if you know this, she's made a lot of money off of heartbreak.

Yeah.

So, if this marriage does not work out, she could make a ton of money off of this failed relationship.

And she could potentially make more than half of the money she presently has at the time of marriage.

Can you imagine the Travis album?

Calvin Harris did not like breaking up with her because he became art.

So, if you're Taylor, you're in a pickle.

Do I give up half of my stuff on the front end knowing I can make up more on the back end because of the heartbreak?

Or do I protect my assets now?

That, my friends, is a pickle.

Follow me if you will, Billy.

What if Travis, rather than negotiate for no love songs about me,

negotiates a percentage of all proceeds off of Love Songs About Me?

So you can do it, but in the words of Easy E, Dre Day only made Easy Payday, right?

I'm just gonna get richer as you make songs about me.

Wasn't Ed also saying that Taylor Swift was getting a little antsy?

Who was quoted as saying that Chattanooga?

That's Chatty Ed.

Guy won't shut up.

So wait a minute.

How are we feeling about that?

How are we feeling about Chatty Ed?

Not great.

That's what I told you.

Ed, shut up.

Chatty Ed?

I love how I said, follow me if you will, and then nobody followed me.

You're like, no, that's a bad idea, man.

No, why would he want to cut her that money?

No.

I said, if you will, we won't.

I know.

That's what I said.

We're big on choices here.

Look, every football game is a grind.

And if you're like Dan and the crew, you know there's no such thing as one size fits all.

Your sleep should be just as custom as coach's game plan.

Stugats.

Mike, are you doing something like this right now?

I lost a lot of weight doing intermittent fasting and low carb, so now I'm getting back to it.

But how much in that six to eight hour window, how much can you eat?

Unlimited?

If I could just eat unlimited, I'd do that.

That'd be fun.

For six to eight hours.

You can't eat unlimited.

Try me.

No, no, I'm.

This is the Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

You guys don't think it speaks as a symbol to our

numbing

love of nonsense that everyone would stop to talk about their love after a whole lot of people questioned that their love was real and now still question if their love is real, right?

You're telling them.

That's like then you're the one questioning whether love is real.

We think it's lovely.

I love love.

I've always thought it was a love story.

I know Travis's way before for Taylor, and I saw the look in his eyes.

Saw him change his haircut.

That's not fake love.

That's real love.

Based off the flowers, she had to know it was coming, right?

Like, this had to be...

I'm not saying that I believe the love is real, but she knew she was getting proposed to.

Right, the professional photographer also is probably a hint, but it's just like she walks into this thing.

Like, I just imagine her, like, oh, I'm not getting proposed to here.

This is just the most beautiful setting I've ever been in.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like child.

Doesn't seem like that's normally his yard, to Chris's point.

Is his yard probably doesn't have those floral arches around and all of those, you know, arrangements there.

You guys are so ignorant.

You think that there's not a professional photographer around Taylor Swift at all times?

You think when she walks into any yard, they haven't already staged it, everything she does is a production.

Why would it just be a regular yard all of a sudden?

If anything, if he had done it in a regular-looking yard, that would have thrown up like some.

Imagine if he just did it at like Chili's.

Yeah, that would have smacked.

That would have been awesome.

I would have been like, now that's how you do it.

That is Chili's.

That is Chili's.

Babe, two for 25.

What do we think?

Right.

Like, ride the Dante.

Be humble with it.

The baby back ribs are coming right around that corner.

That is chillies.

Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Lebatard Show.

Bigger star, Freddie Fitz or Jonathan Zaszlo,

because I feel like we now have beef at ESPN Radio where Zaszlo's saying he's a bigger star than Freddie Fitz.

Isn't that what's being claimed?

Well, it's not a person.

It's not a real person.

It's the problem.

Hardy Crape Mitch.

No, but it's not a real person, but it is a real person.

That's the thing.

That's the thing.

It is a real person, but now we've put Zaszlo in a bad spot.

So I should probably back away from the poll.

Do you guys think, because I think this is the thing, Zaz, you might follow me on this.

I mean, you might follow me on this.

I mean, follow us.

Do you guys think, like, I know there's always like, like, talk about the ring afterwards amongst, you know, the friends.

I was expecting more.

Look at the ring.

What do you think?

And I'm sure.

I'm sure that oftentimes, I shouldn't say oftentimes, but I'm sure sometimes the person who was proposed to, the friends are like, ooh, like, that's, yeah, that's nice, but they're not, like, don't mean it.

And then, like, the person who has the ring on it is like, yeah, it's the best that he could do.

You know, like, he tried, whatever.

You think that's a situation with Taylor?

It's like, yeah, this is like a seven-karat diamond.

It's like, yeah, but, you know, he's just a tight end.

It's all he could really do for me.

I, you know, he loves me, though.

I'll accept this ring.

I was underwhelmed by it, if I'm being honest.

It's so big.

I know the rock's big, but I just, I like a little, I like a little glitz.

Yeah, but look, Ronaldo changed the game in terms of rings.

Like, he proposed with a Super Bowl ring not too long ago.

Yeah, to me, the Ronaldo won much better.

Are these the same hands?

No.

No, they're different rings.

On the left is Taylor Swift.

On the right is Ronaldo's.

I understand why you look

why you ask that, though.

They look identical.

One is yours, one is L.

Okay.

All right.

No, I like this.

This is classy.

That's what it is.

They're classy.

That's why they did it at a Chili's as opposed to the Taj Mahal.

Okay, so you guys are unimpressed, but you don't know anything about...

I don't either, by the way.

I don't know anything about diamonds.

The one Ronaldo got is giant, but that seems like I understand that the worth of it is

something that people would want, but it looks ridiculous.

It looks like one of those championship rings that David Sampson wears that is bigger than three-fourths of his finger.

I got to tell you, what's the old adage?

It needs to be two months' worth of salary?

What?

The engagement ring.

So expensive.

I think that Travis went on the cheap beer.

That's what I'm saying.

And then people are questioning her, you know, whoever's in her life, her circle, Selena Gomez, whatever.

And Selena is also engaged, I believe.

So now they're comparing rings.

And you're not going to be done up by Benny Blanco, Dan.

Come on.

He's on his bachelor trip.

I've heard.

He went to Vegas.

Yeah, that's.

I noticed we didn't see photos from that, but we saw plenty of photos of Selena on her bachelorette trip.

Dan, your thoughts?

You guys are so Miami.

Always going for the gaudy over the top.

Make it bigger.

Make more diamonds.

This is class.

This is sophistication.

This is a subtle nod to, oh, this is of value, but we're not going over the top.

If you know, you know.

And that's how Travis has always been, because I've known him for a long time, since way before Taylor Swift.

There's nothing settled about either of those rings, just to be clear.

Is two months indeed the rule?

I did not know that as a rule.

I was not familiar with

what it sounds right.

So you guys just are saying it sounds right.

Two months of salary on a ring.

It's a marketing.

It was a marketing ploy by the De Beers company that owns 90% of the world's diamond supply.

So they're just like two months of salary just so they could artificially inflate prices.

Feels like a lot two months.

I mean, is it pre-tax or post-tax two months also?

Yeah, we're talking gross or net.

Yeah, good questions, as put it on the poll at Levittard Show.

Is it gross or net?

Are you thinking back to what yours cost, Dan?

Like, did I overpay?

Did I underpay?

Well, I'm actually trying to think back to what rule I was trying to figure out because

I didn't know how to do it.

So I just, like,

I had to ask around to get expertise from people because I didn't have any idea what I was doing.

You guys did?

Mike?

Mike, get me a ring for my wife.

You got, okay, so you guys knew how to do all of that.

You guys, okay, show me experts in romance.

It's usually a conversation you have at some point about like, what would you be into?

What would it kind of look like?

And you get ideas.

You can't just leave it up to Travis Kelsey to figure out what Taylor Swift is going to like in her ring.

She for sure picked that up.

She definitely told him exactly what she wants.

Two-month salary of Travis Kelsey is $2.8 million.

Yeah, no, you go.

I'm seeing the national average is between $5,500 and $6,000 on an engagement ring.

Hold on, though, Mike, you're not including

the podcast.

You're not including endorsements.

You're not including Happy Gilmore.

Travis Kelsey's salary of two months is much.

His football salary, it might be small compared to the endorsements.

I think by percentage of income, Travis Kelsey went on the cheap here with this ring.

That's what I'm kind of thinking may have happened.

I think all of our significant others have, by percentage,

more impressive rings.

Hmm.

Congratulations.

Put it on the poll, please.

Jujuat Lebatard Show.

I can't believe we're saying this.

Did Travis Kelsey go cheap on the ring?

It's unbelievable that you guys are doing this.

I've also heard that like super rich like rings, like those two rings, probably, right?

I think they then make like replicas of them.

And like that ring is probably hardly ever going to be worn.

That's going to be like in a vault somewhere.

What's the point?

And then you wear one with a fake diamond that's identical in size, and that way, if you get mugged or whatever, you lose it while you're scuba diving or whatever happened in Kim Kardashian's earring.

She's like in the Maldives and it falls off while she jumps off of the thing.

Like, then you just lose a fake one that's also equally expensive.

Well, not equally, but also expensive, but not as expensive.

It's a fake diamond.

I mean, she definitely has insurance.

Yeah, it's why you get insurance.

And designers probably foaming at the mouth to be put on that paw.

So they probably got a deal on that ring.

Man, this is crazy.

I bet you he spent like maybe seven grand right maybe i bet you he got paid to do it i'll do an instagram post for you how nervous do you think friends are like if you're a friend with travis kelsey but you're not like the close you're not a best friend but you're close enough to wonder are you gonna make the cut for the wedding because you want to be at that wedding that's a fun wedding that's that's the position i'm in right now i'm trying to figure out whether i'm gonna make the cut or not you will not as someone who's well i mean i've been there i've been loyal i've been there since before everything so Well, call him right now.

Let's congratulate him since you're so close to him.

I can't because I use my phone as my camera.

What would you get him as a gift?

That's a tough wedding gift to get.

Oh, no, the registry.

I just go off the registry, man.

Don't try to be funny.

Put like a yacht on their registry.

Wait, you guys think that that's what they would go with?

These two people would just go registry?

Yeah, like Creighton Barrow, Target, Macy.

I'm just picturing them walking around Target.

Yeah, I could see them walking around.

Inviting things.

Exactly.

You think Rashi Rice is going to go to the wedding, Jazz?

Whoa.

Well, are you asking me if he's going to go or be invited?

Invited.

I'm going no.

Really?

He might be suspended for it.

Xavier worthy?

No.

Oof.

So, wait, you guys are saying that he can't invite all his Chiefs' teammates.

He has to have the awkwardness of, okay, six of you can come?

Yeah.

No, that's probably like a dozen or so.

Spags.

Really?

It's not even his coordinator.

That's what I'm saying.

Dan, if it comes down to Isaiah Pacheco or me, I mean, there's hard decisions to be able to do that.

Wait, but so you guys explain to me the awkwardness in the locker room when Travis Kelsey stops at nine.

Yeah, like that's a good one.

Guys, there are guys in that locker room, like, man, I hope I get to go.

That's going to be a fun wedding.

But nope, you didn't make the cut.

That's going to happen.

You think, though?

You think Buckshare makes it?

Yeah.

They're friends, I think.

I think Araza is not going to be at that wedding.

Taylor Swift probably doesn't like him so much.

I don't know.

Harrison's probably an interesting conversation between them two.

I think that you could hide him in the invites, right?

Like, I don't think Taylor's going to notice if Harrison is there.

Maybe when he, you know, tells all the women get off the dance floor.

It's time for the men to dance.

Taylor's got to have some right-leaning family members.

Is that what you have happening?

I don't have it happening.

So, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Now this is going to be a thing.

I just was a joke.

Now this is going to be a thing.

Consequently.

I want to be clear.

I want to be.

He doesn't like being married to his takes.

I want to be.

He's just like to josh around, you know, and all of a sudden.

No, I, but, okay.

So.

Noah Gray, you think he'll be there?

Same position.

Yeah, position room, same position.

All the tight ends go.

Everybody in that room.

We have moved on.

Creed Humphrey.

Every single person in that room.

Starting lineman, I think, can go.

Well, Creed Humphrey's a center.

How about former teammates?

That's a great question.

I'm going back to the others.

Tony Gonzalez.

Tyreek?

No.

No, Tyreek's not getting there.

No Trey.

Tyreek.

No, probably not Tyreek.

I think Nick Wright tries to see where he fits in.

Wow.

He's my plus one.

Nick might go.

He might.

Invited or not, he'll be there.

Do you think this is going to be the biggest wedding of our lifetimes?

It's our royal wedding, obviously.

What was our previous royal wedding?

What is second place on the other side?

Was it Kim and Chris Humphreys?

I'm still.

We don't need to go back to anything that's happened in the past.

We're moving along.

You know which one I'm excited for if it happens?

Adele and Rich Paul.

Oh, huh.

That already happened.

Did it?

They're married.

Oh, I mean, you got invited.

So you weren't that interested.

Come on, man.

Where are you at?

Wow.

When did that happen?

Clearly not that interested.

Clearly and obviously, you can't wait for that to happen, but you did wait.

You didn't even notice.

You don't care.

Kudos to them.

They kept that one pretty secret.

Not really.

I got to hear that they're just engaged.

Did LeBron give a speech?

She was engaged in a concert August 2024.

They're not married, Amin.

Yeah, I didn't see Amin.

Unless Amin

secretly married and just blew up the spot.

Oh.

Like Greg Cody.

Because he's in league circles.

So, Billy, just to be clear.

I don't know what we need to be clear about.

We're talking about Adele and Rich Paul right now.

Keep up, Dan.

Let's move fast.

You've got Travis Kelsey going into the locker room and everyone wants to go and he has to say in private in front of everybody,

only eight of you are going to be invited.

Usually when you give these kind of speeches, it's that guy's budget.

We just don't have room.

Like, what's he going to say?

But he's going to be able to say, like, I saved a bunch of money on that ring.

Amin, the internet is saying they're not married.

So either you screwed up or you were wrong.

You need to clarify.

Those are the same thing.

No.

I won't.

He might have screwed up and revealed something that is known inside NBA League circles that the rest of the people don't because any internet would not corroborate this.

He's not a journalist, though.

Amin doesn't, right?

Amin does not.

Saszlo's the only journalist we have around here, right?

Amin broke a giant FBI story a couple weeks ago.

I think you might have been gone when he did that.

He broke that story about the heat heist across the street.

Yeah, I did do that.

He's also been on Pablo Torrey Finds Out, and the Malik Beasley story has had some developments that I was wanting your expertise on.

But if we could just go back to the wedding first.

Yeah, are Adele and Rich Paul married, or did you just get that wrong?

So this is what I have Travis Kelsey doing, is standing up in front of the middle locker room and saying to everybody, look, only eight guys can go.

And I know what you're thinking.

Oh, did I make it?

Did I not make it?

But this is a football team.

We're a meritocracy.

So what we're going to do.

is have a competition for it.

And then the cameras come out and it's on an Amazon Prime show.

And who gets to be in Travis Kelsey's wedding?

And then we we have like week by week, and people vote until we have a final ceremony and he's handing out what are those things called what they button onto the thing that the groomsmen wear?

One of those things.

And if you get one of those, you get to go to the wedding.

How mad is Clutch Sports going to be when they find out you revealed that Rich Paul's married?

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

LeBron did post mysterious photos from what appeared to be a wedding with Kevin Love.

And he was there with Kevin Love and they were golfing, but he never said whose wedding it was.

I'm like, wow,

did did Rich Paul and Adele secretly get married?

And I never, I just kept on living my life, and now it seems as though Amian found out.

Yeah.

Did not.

That's Pablo's show.

He finds out.

By the way, I recorded an episode of Pablo Torrey Finds Out that comes out, I believe, in about a week and a half.

Spoil it.

What'd you say?

It's a beast.

It's about Adele getting married to Rich Paul.

It is.

It's going to be a massive, massive.

It's one of those things where, you know, everyone was like, oh my God, Pablo did it again when the NFL thing and the Beasley thing.

No, this is the biggest one.

This is the biggest one.

This is the biggest one.

This is the biggest one by far.

This is way bigger than Bill Belichick.

Everything.

Is this the September 4th one?

He keeps teasing?

Yeah, he's got a giant one in the holster.

He just went on vacation.

Pablo's doing this so casually that he's going to drop a Pablo at the top of September that's going to be bigger than all the other Pablo's by a good amount.

Like drop a Pablo is an interesting way to phrase it.

We're also raising the bar on expectations here because like,

the subtle butt out there is that Amin is that Pablo's revealing the Epstein list.

That's what people think he's going to happen.

And I don't think, I mean, unless Amin has a reason to be on that episode, I don't think that's what's going to happen on Amin's episode.

Pablo might have friends on the list.

Who knows?

A lot of innocent people.

It's also a bad place where, like, that's the bar for Pablo now.

It's like, oh, you don't have the Epstein list?

Loser.

The rivalries, the bans, the upsets, college football is back.

Don Lebatard.

They would try to bring some minority characters.

Yeah, they tried.

Luy Aguirre was one of them.

They tried to dabble in Latin flavor and they went.

Maurice Chestnut was one, I think.

Morris.

A Morris Chestnut.

I'm sorry.

God, what a beefcake in that show.

Miranda, why didn't you stay with him?

I mean, we're going to go with Steve on this one.

Seriously?

Stugats.

Oh, no.

Clear out.

I have to issue her an apology.

Uh-oh.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Is it a Sex in the City apology?

I would like to formally apologize to Blair Underwood for calling him Morris Chestnut.

Oh, no.

Wow.

Look.

L.A.

Law, man.

Come on, yo.

This is the Don Levatar Show with the Stukats.

What are you here for?

Weekend observations, which we're going to begin right now.

But I did want something Malik Beasley related from him before we did that, but we got to get to weekend observations.

So no time.

It is time for him

to share his game notes.

No one in the media will will tell you what happened better than my boy.

Weekend Observations is presented by Miller Light.

Then

it started with a concert,

followed by a podcast mention,

followed by a two-year courtship,

culminating with the news of the summer.

And just like that,

make no mistake,

Travis Kelsey is off off the market.

Congrats, Travis and Tay Tay.

I hope as you make your wedding invitation list,

you remember the people in your life

from before the celebrity.

Those who were there for you

before you were in People magazine.

I'm talking, of course, of myself.

I went to that New Heights Super Bowl party before it was cool.

Everybody else flocked after Taylor into the picture.

I was there before.

Never

Arch Manning

saying the target's not on our back.

We have a red dot on everyone else's.

Winner.

Deion Sanders

says he's praying for Shiloh to get another shot after getting waived.

What he should be praying for

is Georgia Tech forfeiting this weekend.

I'll be there.

Really?

Brian.

Yeah, I'll be there.

Leaving on Thursday.

Brian Winhurst writing a piece about LeBron and KD's unprecedented 20-year rivalry.

Only made me think,

who's going to hate this being called a rivalry more?

LeBron or KD?

My money's on KD.

He hates everything.

Caden Salter

will start a QB for Colorado.

Can't believe he's black.

Haynes King will start a QB for Georgia Tech.

Phil can't believe he's not black.

That is an upset.

That is an upset.

If you put their pictures side by side and I asked you which one was which, you'd call the white guy Caden and you'd call the black guy Haynes.

Yeah,

you are correct.

Danny Parkins of FS1

interviewing Jeff Van Gundy for his book.

Then wrapping the interview by asking him to write the foreword.

Danny, the Stugats is very strong in you.

Him and his co-author Ben Kaplan are on basketball Illuminati this week, wherever you get podcasts.

They wrote this book, Pipeline to the Pros.

It's really good.

Spencer Rattler,

starting at QB, week one for the Saints over Tyler Schuck.

Man, man.

Who cares?

Oh, my God.

Who cares?

Say that again to people.

Like, that, how, how, I am so sorry, New Orleans Saints fans.

Like, I am just, you're in salary cap-hell and Spencer Rattler just won your quarterback competition.

Good God.

Also, Tyler Shuck, spell your name right or pronounce it right?

One of the two.

How does he spell it?

He spells it S-H-O-U-G-H, but I have to Google how you say it.

You say it's Shuck.

I was like, is it Shuff or Shu?

And they're like, Shuck.

And I'm like, no.

No.

Georgia Tech Safety, LaMiles Brooks-Powell Lee.

What do you say?

Saying about Colorado.

Quote, I know they bring out celebrities.

They do all this crazy stuff, but we're playing football.

Winner.

Really?

But also,

Georgia Tech is bringing out some celebrities of their own, man.

Me.

Oh, come on.

I'm the celebrities.

Are you the biggest celebrity?

Are you the biggest celebrity fan that Georgia Tech football has?

I'm the biggest non-athlete celebrity fan that Georgia Tech has.

They have obviously guys like Megatron and stuff like that.

They don't count.

I'm the real celebrity.

I have to make myself.

I didn't do it by just playing a sport.

Get out of here.

Jeff Foxworthy.

He didn't go to tech, man.

I don't believe it.

What do you mean?

You can't just...

What?

I don't believe it.

Show me your transcripts.

What do you do when you.

Why are you doing that to Jeff Foxworthy?

Like, what do you mean?

Show me your transcripts, Jeff Foxworthy.

It's a hard school, man.

You ain't get through it with you might be a redneck.

That's not getting the job done.

All right, put it on the poll.

Is you might be a redneck getting the job job done at Georgia Tech.

No child.

If he did, he went to like the School of Management or something like that.

Graduate

in 1979.

It wasn't even an institute back then.

It was called like

something,

Cumberland College or some shit like that.

I don't know.

Wow, didn't realize we were gatekeeping at Georgia Tech.

We are, always...

If he didn't have to do CS 1501, he didn't go to tech.

How about that?

Oh, wait, he never graduated.

I see that here.

He left before graduating in 1979.

There you go.

Oh, wait a minute.

That changes the discussion entirely.

Then does Amin go right back to being the most famous graduate non-athlete division at Georgia Tech?

Jimmy Carter.

Jimmy Carter didn't go.

He got like a graduate degree.

That doesn't count.

Peanut farmer.

Again, if you didn't take CS 1501, don't talk to me about going to tech.

1972, 1980 52.

cs 1501 the widowmaker is what they call that

these these fools think it's easy as an engineering school to get an institute 197 when did when did georgia tech become an institute that was famous for we bring some of the best engineers through here

the widowmaker tell me more about this class okay so dan so at regular engineering schools in the country they're like okay you need to learn how to program.

You need to code.

So what do we do?

C ⁇ , Java, whatever the language was at the time, right?

Python now or whatever.

At Georgia Tech, they were like, that's too easy.

We're going to invent our own coding language.

So that way people can't cheat.

But then you say, well, what if they cheat off of one another?

Well, they had this thing way before they were AI checkers and shit like that.

They had a program that ran your code against everyone else's code, not only in your section, not only in your class, but everyone who's taken the class in the prior three years.

And if it hit a similarity score of above a certain percentage, you automatically got an F.

Now, here's the part that is really cruel.

They wouldn't tell you.

They would let you go the entire semester like a dumbass, thinking, oh, I'm getting good grades and stuff.

And at the end of it, you get your semester and grade, and it would be an F.

You're like, what happened?

Like, oh, yeah, you failed.

the cheat finder.

That's the Georgia Tech I went to, not peanut farming, and you might be a redneck.

Highly educated, but still not smart enough to not blow up a Dell spot.

Good trouble, dog.

Jimmy Carter spent one year at Georgia Tech before transferring to the Naval Academy.

Exactly.

He was like Navy Reserves at Georgia Tech.

A coward.

I went to MDC.

I enjoyed that.

Navy.

You know what?

It's easier than Georgia Tech.

Put it on the poll at Levitrack Show.

Is the Navy easier than Georgia Tech?

Amin, you went to school with Harrison Butker.

Did he go to Georgia Tech?

That's what the internet says, but they've been wrong about everyone else so far.

He did take CS 1501.

I mean, the internet told us earlier that Rich Paul and Adele weren't married.

But to be fair, there are also not a whole lot of women at Georgia Tech, so maybe Harrison Butker did go there.

Amin, are you trying to tell me you're more famous than Roman Reigns?

Roman Reigns is an athlete.

He's an athlete.

He played on the football team.

He doesn't count.

Keep up, Zaslow.

Man, I mean, kicking ass.

Bigger star, Freddie Fitz or Jonathan Zaszlo at Lebittard Show.

What do you do when you think someone has blocked you?

But you never had a negative interaction with them.

I'd love to text them to ask,

but I'm blocked.

The Holy Grail MJ Kobe card sold for $12.9 million.

No word yet as to whether it also came out of a storage closet at Kasaya Center.

I broke that story where you've gone, Dan.

Really?

Yeah, a guy stole a whole bunch of memorabilia, sold it for a shit ton of money.

Speaking of a shit ton of money,

Chris Cody

won a shit ton of money playing poker.

Debatable.

Chris, I was unfamiliar with your game.

Also, Chris,

let me hold a dollar.

Let's see.

12 grand.

It goes, oh, let's see here.

12 grand.

Let me see.

Because it closed on me.

Yeah, 12 grand.

Tyler Phillips of the Marlins.

Slapping himself as he runs out of the bullpen.

Electric.

Mike Ryan and Jessica Smitana telling me Avery Johnson was white when in fact he is not.

I'm sending you both to the Jonathan Coachman Hall of Shame.

Anthony Johnson,

brother of Avery Johnson, losing a fist fight to Mark Johnson, father of Avery Johnson by Zazzo mentioned rules.

Gotta wait another six months.

Everyone knows the rules.

Yep.

Cal Raleigh,

first player to hit 20 home runs from each side of the plate.

Historic.

Cal Raleigh.

First primary catcher to hit 50 home runs in a season.

Iconic.

Cal Raleigh on pace to break Aaron Judge's single season AL home run record.

Legendary.

Cal Raleigh still could put you out of a lineup.

Even if you're wearing a sticker that said, hi, my name is Cal.

Not even by body type?

The big dumper.

Medvedev crashing at U.S.

Open.

Down two sets to love versus Benjamin Bonzi.

Then inciting the crowd.

Then tying the matchup.

Heady play

Bedvedev losing the match to Benjamin Bonzi in five sets.

What a waste of everyone's time.

Just tap out, man.

What do we do all that for?

Top five Bonzies.

Really?

You're gonna have five of these?

Five Bonzies.

I got a couple OLIs too.

Really?

OLI, Benjamin Bonzi.

OLI

Bonzi Wells.

OLI

Buckaroo Bonzi

Number five Bonzi Beach

Number four

Bonanzi

Number three

Slanging Muni Bonzi in Boca

Bonzi's is a degree of difficulty I did not think you had in you.

Number two,

Bonzi.

James Bonzi.

And number one, Cinnabonzi.

You can say no.

You smell it in the mall, and what do you do, Dan?

You go over and like, I gotta get just one.

Chador Sanders,

named QB3 to start the season.

Let me lay out how this will play out.

The Browns will suck.

Flacco will get hurt early.

Dylan Gabriel will get his shot too soon.

Suck as a result.

Shadour will take over.

He'll play well enough to give the city of Cleveland hope, but not well enough to stop the Browns from sucking.

Y'all deserve this hell.

Speaking of hell, our Bryles, those are the weekend observations.

Good seeing you, buddy.

Excellent work.

We'll talk to you next week.

The shadow on Sydney Hope this week.

Hey, Tony.

Hey, Mike.

Hey, man.

summer's almost ending, man.

I can't get it.

There's no way.

There's no way.

I am excited about cooler temperatures, but down here in South Florida, that just means slightly less boiling.

It's been a pretty incredible summer.

We've had a parade down here.

We've grown our family down here at Metal Arc Media.

A lot of exciting things, a lot of memorable benchmarks.

And along the way, at almost every step, I've been tailed by that beautiful white can of Miller Light.

Oh, that beautiful white can.

Or the brown bottle.

You can do it on draft.

Draft is crisp.

There's so many great special times.

And each time, I've decided to make those special times a Miller time.

Whether it's a long weekend like one we got coming up or a full-on vacation, it is a perfect time to get the crew back together.
