Speaker 17 This is the Dan Labatar Show with the Stu Gats Podcast.

Speaker 19 Start of the day, start of the day, it is the start of the day.

Speaker 19 Start of the day, start of the day, it is the start of the day.

Speaker 19 Start of the day, start of the day, it is the start of the day.

Speaker 19 Start of the day, start of the day, it is the start of the day.

Speaker 22 Stat of the day is presented by Amazon Prime Video. Thursday night football is on.
The Seattle Seahawks take on the Arizona Cardinals.

Speaker 2 Coverage begins Thursday at 7 p.m.

Speaker 22 Eastern only on Prime.

Speaker 23 We all believe the Ravens to be a good football team, and this is not the stat. I'm going to give you three options on the stat.

Speaker 23 You guys choose one, but just as as build-up to the stat of the day, I will tell you the Jets have allowed 93 points this season. The Bears have allowed 93 points this season.

Speaker 23 The Titans have allowed 94 points this season. The Dolphins have allowed 97 points this season.
And the Ravens have allowed 97 points this season. This is why the following three stats are true.

Speaker 23 And you guys tell me which is the best of these. From Warren Sharp, The Ravens have scored 104 points.
They are 1-2.

Speaker 23 They are the only team since at least 2000 to have scored 100-plus points through three weeks, but have a losing record. The other 25 teams with 100-plus points through three weeks went 68-7.

Speaker 23 This is from Dante Cop Phlem. The Ravens are the first team in the Super Bowl era to score 100-plus points, rush for 300-plus yards, and have a losing record through three games.

Speaker 23 And Lamar Jackson is the first quarterback in NFL history with nine-plus passing touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a losing record through three games.

Speaker 3 Who was that stat from?

Speaker 23 Thanks

Speaker 23 for pointing that out. I'm glad you did that.
Always helpful. The people around me.
Dante Cop Flem.

Speaker 4 That's a funny name.

Speaker 9 I don't know that fool.

Speaker 23 I was just trying to give the source of the stat credit and look at the reward I get. It's everyone sitting around being piranha.

Speaker 25 Dante Koplowitz Fleming. He's senior researcher for NFL.
And good morning, football.

Speaker 18 I vote for the third one. I think it's astonishing that a quarterback like Lamar Jackson having that great a season, how frustrated must Lamar Jackson be right now?

Speaker 18 The most frustrated superstar in the league.

Speaker 14 I mean, he had a big fumble, and then after the fumble, he had a fourth-down conversion that he could have thrown early and held it late and got sacked and stopped him at the goal line again.

Speaker 14 Like, he's not without fault here.

Speaker 28 I feel like Mahomes is probably more frustrated right now than Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 18 But Lamar Jackson last night had no protection whatsoever. I mean, he's more mobile, more nimble than 90% of quarterbacks, and he had no chance because of his offensive lineup.

Speaker 22 Mahomes can make the argument that I have reinforcements coming. Like, Lamar Jackson's, everything's there.

Speaker 18 Like, Lamar Jackson's, like, I'm great, and look at this. Look around me.
I got to score. I score 30 points and I lose by 80 points.

Speaker 23 All that stuff

Speaker 23 is interesting, but I'm going to say that in this century, okay, after the year 2000, it's stunning to me to watch the Ravens physically handled by another team.

Speaker 23 Given what I've seen of Ravens football for the last 25 years, precious few times, like maybe they lose the way they lose against Buffalo earlier this season.

Speaker 23 Maybe they lose the weird way they lost against the Dolphins when Tua came back and got us all excited down here.

Speaker 23 But to see the Ravens manhandled when I just think of them as being a team that's not capable of being manhandled, back from when Ray Lewis was stealing Eddie George's stole and Tennessee and Baltimore were playing the most physical games.

Speaker 23 You know the Baltimore Ravens are going to be a physical football team to see not only the Lions go in there and physically do that, but their coach to be like, you know what? And I'm going for it.

Speaker 23 I'm fourth down. And I'm throwing it way down the field on such a bad thing.

Speaker 9 Such a balls move.

Speaker 31 Fourth and two with two minutes left from their own side of the field.

Speaker 14 Love it. Against your best corner and St.

Speaker 2 Brown does some.

Speaker 33 When I saw someone point out, like what makes that play so effective is the fact that St. Brown is always blocking.

Speaker 33 Like, the fact that their wide receivers are such capable blockers that he can bluff that block and then slip out and you get the perfect throw, it just showed everything that Lions football has been about.

Speaker 12 And they called a penalty on that play, too.

Speaker 23 What also makes it effective is that very few teams in the league have the confidence to do that in that spot because they all play a little bit scared.

Speaker 23 Like, they late game situations when everyone knows the criticism is you've heard me say that

Speaker 33 real leadership always risks unpopularity rare is the coach willing to say no i've got the i've got what i need i will take whatever criticism you've got coming my way you think there would have been criticism had they not gotten it i don't think so at this point i think we know how they play and i think it was a smart move too i think the thing with dan campbell we're always talking about like oh he's not a genius is there not genius in being a remarkable leader that can instill that confidence in your team everybody has genius in sort of different ways and his ability to communicate with his team, to get them on the same page, to get them motivated the way that they do.

Speaker 33 No, he's maybe not known as an X's and O's genius, but there is genius in that. No different than, you know, Mike talking about the genius of Mario Cristobal as an offensive line coach.

Speaker 18 I mean, Dan Campbell from his introductory press conference, the eat the kneecap thing.

Speaker 16 We're going to get up and on the way up, we're going to buy the kneecap off.

Speaker 36 Okay,

Speaker 18 I'm not big on the culture thing. We got to change the culture.
In Detroit's case, that guy, that coach, went in and changed the culture on 50 years of losing.

Speaker 25 Isn't that the problem here in Miami is the culture?

Speaker 5 Like, that's the exact problem.

Speaker 25 Is that they have talent, but like, all reports are the culture's terrible, and Mike McDaniel doesn't have control of the team.

Speaker 18 Well, they tried to change, you know, trading Jalen Ramsey was part of the effort to change the culture.

Speaker 22 Their way of changing the culture was just when the interview started in training camp, they're like, the culture's better now.

Speaker 5 Right. No, I mean.
They fixed it.

Speaker 18 Look, I'll argue with anybody that the Dolphins are better than people say they are because they've been appreciably better in all three games or in the second and third games.

Speaker 18 I will not argue that they've solved the culture problem.

Speaker 9 But I have something wrong there.

Speaker 23 I think if you guys are going to start doing this with culture, I mean, I would just say that as it regards Dan Campbell specifically, Rare is the coach who's that kind of fearless because all of them worry a little bit about what's going to fall on their head if they're the ones going to be blamed for losing.

Speaker 23 And what's clear with this person and the way they play, because as is right, this is just who the Lions are right now.

Speaker 37 They will,

Speaker 23 they had a season ended at least in part,

Speaker 23 the most promising season in my lifetime.

Speaker 23 watching the Lions, the most hopeful season ended at least in part because Dan Campbell's always going to be fearless.

Speaker 23 It's not going to be about math. It's not going to be about percentages.

Speaker 23 It's simply going to be, I'm going to convey my team all the time that I believe in these players, even if I fail believing in them.

Speaker 28 They were so close to the Super Bowl that year.

Speaker 32 Dan Campbell and the Lions were so close to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 14 The cool thing about Dan Campbell is like, he has the relational equity with the ownership group and with everybody there in the front office where it's like, he came in and was like, I'm going forward on fourth downs.

Speaker 14 Like, I don't really care.

Speaker 11 Right, but how does he have that

Speaker 15 relationship equity the day he's hired?

Speaker 25 I know. That's the crazy part.
It's like, wait, I'm just going to go for it on fourth down.

Speaker 38 Everybody's like, oh, wait a second.

Speaker 5 He's going to go forward on fourth down. Like, okay.

Speaker 23 Yeah, but Brandon Staley did the same thing and they ran him right out of the league.

Speaker 39 Yeah.

Speaker 23 Well, the presentation matters.

Speaker 23 Brandon Staley is only going to bite your kneecaps because that's where he is down there biting.

Speaker 23 He's face to knee with your kneecap. And Dan Campbell's towering above you, just drinking a million coffees, breathing coffee breath

Speaker 23 and masculinity into your face.

Speaker 40 So much masculinity.

Speaker 18 If there's such a, I don't think there is such a thing, but if there were such a thing as completely neutral NFL fans who didn't have a rooting interest, you got to cheer for the Detroit Lions to finally make the Super Bowl.

Speaker 18 This team is.

Speaker 9 I was cheering for them two years ago.

Speaker 18 I mean,

Speaker 18 they're so likable. Dan Campbell is so likable.

Speaker 22 The Bucs are that team for me as a beaten-down Dolphins fan who's just kind of looking around the league.

Speaker 9 I think I'm going to root for the Bucks.

Speaker 30 You've won two Super Bowls in your lifetime.

Speaker 22 I I know, but I like Baker.

Speaker 22 I'm kind of like, I just, like, they're a fun team.

Speaker 18 I think Detroit is the ultimate underdog that no longer is that you got to root for. I don't think there are many other teams.
Buffalo. I think a Detroit Buffalo Super Bowl.

Speaker 17 Minnesota.

Speaker 5 They've never won Buffalo. Has Minnesota ever won a Super Bowl? No.

Speaker 9 No, yes, Minnesota is one of those.

Speaker 18 But Buffalo hasn't even been in one Super Bowl Bull.

Speaker 9 Oh, no. I want Buffalo to get close to the bottom.
Oh, we don't want Buffalo.

Speaker 23 Guys, there's nothing. that compares to the Lions.
Like, there's nothing in that sport's history that's close to the Lions.

Speaker 9 Two of their best players quit early.

Speaker 23 Two of the best players in their history quit early because they're like, I'm not doing this anymore.

Speaker 23 That is a national laughingstock for 50 years.

Speaker 25 Remember, the Bills lost four straight Super Bowls.

Speaker 41 But they went. But they lost.

Speaker 22 I feel like the Jags and Browns are in the same kind of ballpark as you're talking about.

Speaker 23 The Bills had expectations those four years and got to the Super Bowl. The Lions are never expected to do anything ever.

Speaker 25 I think failing on expectations is worse than not having expectations because your heart is broken where you just go in like apathetic if you don't have expectations.

Speaker 25 Like, you think Jaguars fans actually hurt?

Speaker 35 That's true.

Speaker 37 I just think they're miserable.

Speaker 27 I don't think they feel anything.

Speaker 18 The Lions last won an NFL championship right around the time I was born. Okay.

Speaker 18 Fathom that for a second. Now, it was, I can't remember exactly the year, but it was like 1957, 54.
I mean, it's been a lifetime.

Speaker 23 I don't think anything comes close to the Lions. They're three best players ever.
Two of them quit and the other one won a Super Bowl as soon as he left. Like that's the, those are the three.

Speaker 23 Those are the three guys. I associate the Detroit Lions with just always being losers for half a century.

Speaker 40 But they've had a lot of good feeling lately.

Speaker 25 Like the last two seasons have been great for them. They've won playoff games.
They've been right at the doorstep of the season.

Speaker 23 Best teams of my lifetime. Best Lions teams of my lifetime have been the last couple of years.

Speaker 42 Folks, fuel your game day with the unbeatable crunch of Hampton Farms, the official peanut of bowl season. Perfect for sharing with friends, tailgating outside the stadium, or cheering from the couch.

Speaker 42 Grab a bag from the produce aisle of your local grocery store and savor the game one peanut at a time. Let's get nutty.

Speaker 14 If you could stop somebody from breaking in before they got inside your house, why wouldn't you?

Speaker 14 Most old school systems only go off after somebody's already in your place, opening your fridge, petting your dog. Whatever.
At that point, it's too late. It's reactive.
Simply Safe is different.

Speaker 14 It's proactive with this double layer of defense that helps stop crime before it even starts.

Speaker 14 First, their AI-powered cameras spot potential threats outside, not just in motion, but an actual person lurking around in the bushes, behind a tree, in a car, under the car, wherever they may be.

Speaker 14 Then, live monitoring agents jump in right away. They talk to the person through the camera, let them know they're on video, and that cops are getting called if they don't leave.

Speaker 14 That's how you stop crime before it starts. Personally, I trust Simply Safe to protect what matters most at my house, my wife, my daughter, my possessions, my things, my home, my safety, my peace.

Speaker 14 I trust that to Simply Safe. That's it.
That's the list. No long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and Simply Safe was just named the best home security in 2025 by U.S.
News and World Report.

Speaker 14 Right now, it's the best time to jump in. Simply Safe's last chance, Black Friday sale, 50% off any new system.
Go to simplysafe.com slash DLB. Again, that's simplysafe.com slash DLB.

Speaker 14 There is no safe like SimplySafe.

Speaker 33 Critics are calling Marty Supreme a full throttle masterpiece and the best movie of the year. I couldn't be more excited to see this one.

Speaker 2 That's got my boy, Timothy Chalamay, from 824 and starring Timothy Chalamay alongside Powerhouse Cast, Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa Zion, and Tyler Ocoma.

Speaker 33 Marty Supreme now playing only in theaters.

Speaker 43 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 30 This is the quickest it goes.

Speaker 30 Hey, this is the quickest it goes. Stugats.

Speaker 9 Everybody, this is the quickest it goes.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 43 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the guys.

Speaker 23 I wanted to figure out why it is that Billy and Zaz, I felt some jealousy because Billy evidently got into something that Zaz wanted to get into last night. Like, what?

Speaker 10 Well, look at your shirt. You're wearing the Smashing machine shirt

Speaker 11 and i so the smashing machine comes out and like that's the new movie with rock okay it's about mark curric the mma fighter his name's rock and his name's dwayne i wanted to see smashing machine last night because it doesn't come out until october but i always like seeing the movies as soon as possible greg like if there's a premiere or if it opens days before i got to be one of the first people to see it basically the opposite of my dad yeah totally do you like like big screens small screens how do you like to see it yeah yeah

Speaker 45 well yeah the first viewing is in a theater.

Speaker 6 Oh, you would have loved this. It was an IMAX.

Speaker 31 Well, see, that's the point.

Speaker 9 It's a huge screen.

Speaker 31 It's worst case scenario for me where I tried to go see it last night.

Speaker 10 It was only playing in one place, but I didn't know how to get the tickets.

Speaker 31 And then Billy walks in this morning with his smashing machine shirt.

Speaker 10 I'm like, yo, where'd you get the shirt?

Speaker 45 And he says, oh,

Speaker 11 I saw the premiere last night.

Speaker 10 And I was like, God damn it.

Speaker 37 So he saw the movie and I didn't. Yeah.

Speaker 25 Well, I mean, I don't know what to tell you. I'm now an MMA influencer.
I dabble in influencers.

Speaker 15 What does that even mean?

Speaker 31 You're an MMA influencer.

Speaker 40 What do you mean? What? What?

Speaker 5 What do you mean?

Speaker 25 I mean, I'm an MMA. I don't understand the question.
I'm an MMA influencer, a person of influence within the MMA community.

Speaker 31 What have you ever done to influence someone MMA-related?

Speaker 25 I saw the smashing machine. And I was invited.
The MMA community said, you know what? We need someone of influence to go out there and spread the word on the smashing machine, an MMA movie.

Speaker 5 And how did you then use A24?

Speaker 31 Knowledge and information to influence anyone. I'll bet you kept it yourself.

Speaker 25 Well, I haven't gotten anyone.

Speaker 25 Because here's the thing. Unlike you, I'm not a boaster.
You know, I go in there, I'm invited to come out, watch the movie, give my thoughts on it, influence the MMA community.

Speaker 45 Who'd you give the thoughts to?

Speaker 15 I haven't gotten to it.

Speaker 14 Billy, who from the MMA community reached out to me and sip it up and let you know?

Speaker 11 So you haven't influenced a single person, is what you're saying.

Speaker 40 I wait my turn.

Speaker 25 I don't just interrupt people, cut people off, come in here, sit in other people's chairs. Like, that's not my thing.

Speaker 5 Okay, so you're not an MMA influencer.

Speaker 31 You're an MMA wait my turn person.

Speaker 25 I'm waiting to influence the MMA world. Isn't the part of my thoughts on the movie?

Speaker 2 The part of influencing is boasting.

Speaker 37 Yeah, when is this grand influence going to happen?

Speaker 25 You wouldn't understand because no one's invited you to influence anything. And I was invited to influence not just moviegoers, but the MMA community.
I got this shirt.

Speaker 25 Some might say I'm a fashion influencer as well.

Speaker 5 Nobody's saying that.

Speaker 25 NASCAR invited me to the Daytona 500. I influenced there.
No, you're a waitress. Then I went to Homestead.
I influenced at Homestead. Then Mike came in and he stole my NASCAR thing.
And that's fine.

Speaker 25 He can go to Chicago. He can go to those other races.

Speaker 40 Tell you what, if I went to this movie last night, I'd be telling everybody about it.

Speaker 11 I'd be like, wow, Zazzler, you're an amazing influencer.

Speaker 31 Not like that guy Billy, who just holds all the information for himself, like a Schnurr. He comes and sees the movie for free and doesn't tell anyone about it.

Speaker 9 Look, look,

Speaker 18 look, I can, look, I catalog the influence community. Yep.
Okay, I know influencers. I can verify Billy is an MMA influencer.

Speaker 18 Okay, let's say I can also report that you have applied to be a Pearl Gem influencer and have been rejected on numerous occasions.

Speaker 34 I believe that. I mean, these are falsehoods.

Speaker 25 I believe that.

Speaker 9 I was just saying.

Speaker 25 You're a Pearl Jam beggar, if I remember correctly. The only way you went to go see Pearl Jam was if Dan, Chris's dad, bought you tickets.

Speaker 31 Hey, we're not talking about Pearl Jam right here.

Speaker 28 We're talking about MMA and we're talking about you.

Speaker 25 You want me to ruin the movie? I'll tell you exactly what happened on the smashing machine.

Speaker 9 You want me to tell you what happened?

Speaker 5 Let me tell you something. That is a true story.

Speaker 25 I'll tell you exactly how it ends.

Speaker 31 If you ruin the movie for me, you and I,

Speaker 46 we'll get a problem.

Speaker 6 What problem are we going to have?

Speaker 25 I'll knock you down to the ground. I'll take your house.
A problem.

Speaker 6 What?

Speaker 39 That's how

Speaker 39 you get it.

Speaker 5 You get him down to the ground. The house is yours.
You got to keep me on the ground.

Speaker 39 The manner is yours.

Speaker 31 You don't just knock me down. You got to keep me.
Hey on the ground.

Speaker 25 Who's watching an MMA movie more recently and knows about knocking people down? Me or you, the reject that couldn't go to the movie?

Speaker 27 And I'll tell you what right now.

Speaker 9 I'll tell you what right now. Tell me what.

Speaker 25 There was a lot of empty seats. And when I got there, they said, you have a plus one? You want to bring anyone? I was like, nah, I'm good.
You've been alone? Nah.

Speaker 9 I'm good.

Speaker 22 So. Wait, you're at a premiere.

Speaker 4 Did you walk a red carpet?

Speaker 25 Don't worry about me.

Speaker 6 We're worried about you. Why are you worried about me?

Speaker 25 I saw the Smashing Machine. I'll tell you what.
There's been Oscar buzz about this movie.

Speaker 40 Is he going to win the Oscar?

Speaker 25 People have been saying there was 15 minutes standing ovations at the end of the Oscar.

Speaker 11 Did you stand by yourself amidst all the empty seats and give an ovation?

Speaker 25 I was with people this night. That was a big loser move if you did that one.

Speaker 5 That was your ovation.

Speaker 25 Excuse me. I was with

Speaker 14 people, just not you.

Speaker 25 Or person, but whatever. It doesn't matter.

Speaker 31 Did you chat that person up?

Speaker 25 Yeah, we talked during the movie.

Speaker 27 And what? Did they know who you were?

Speaker 5 What do you think? They would know who I am if I went.

Speaker 25 I went with a person. What are you talking about?

Speaker 5 Here's the thing. Can I get a bunch of people?

Speaker 39 This is what I'll tell you.

Speaker 23 Can I get some information on the movie?

Speaker 5 There is Oscar Buzz.

Speaker 40 No, he's waiting his turn to tell us.

Speaker 4 It's an influencer off.

Speaker 25 He's waiting. There's Oscar Buzz, but for the wrong person, because I'm telling you right now, Baz Rudin kills it in that movie.
I would give Baz Rudin, the best supporting actor, Oscar,

Speaker 25 like that. Lickety split.
I would do that. He crushes it in that movie.

Speaker 18 Crushes it. That's what an influencer does.
Thank you, Greg. That's what an influencer does.

Speaker 37 Gets terrible movie opinions.

Speaker 5 Watch the movie.

Speaker 25 Watch the movie and tell me that Boz Rudin.

Speaker 5 I didn't know what to do. Oh, that's right.

Speaker 10 You can't watch the movie.

Speaker 18 There's awards buzz now for Boss Rutin.

Speaker 25 Talk to me in three weeks when you get around to seeing the movie and tell me that Boss Rudin did not steal the show.

Speaker 26 Rudin Rudin.

Speaker 28 I don't have a response to that.

Speaker 25 Not Mario mentioned a speedy. I'll tell you that right now.
No one mentioned Speedy Rudin in that movie once, which was the one flaw of that movie.

Speaker 23 Inside a reference, that is. You're making a joke from 10 years ago.

Speaker 5 What do you mean? Speedy Rudin when we

Speaker 23 were Boz Rudin on the show. You just made a joke that no one in our audience.

Speaker 6 The ones that did, though.

Speaker 23 Boz Rudin. Tony,

Speaker 23 I have.

Speaker 9 The movie was kind of bad.

Speaker 23 What? Whoa.

Speaker 9 What? What? That's been. Everything I've heard about that.
Don't do that.

Speaker 22 Everything I've heard about the movie is that he's great in it, but the movie.

Speaker 5 Boz Rudin is great. No, the rock.

Speaker 44 Rock.

Speaker 44 I'm not certain about that.

Speaker 37 You're saying that rock was bad?

Speaker 25 Well, it said bad. Boz Rudin was good, is what I said.
Boz Rudin was great.

Speaker 32 Was rock bad in the movie?

Speaker 5 That sounds like the Pablo drop.

Speaker 39 Yeah,

Speaker 9 a long sigh.

Speaker 14 Almost as long as the ovation.

Speaker 18 I think he just answered.

Speaker 23 I don't think that he's gonna win an Oscar.

Speaker 11 Okay, but that's a good idea.

Speaker 11 There's a lot of room in between winning an Oscar and being bad.

Speaker 25 Listen, here's the, here's, let me, let me explain to you how influencing works since you don't get it if I come out here and I say man that movie was dreadful the rock was horrible and that thing then my influencing game is done so I just come out here and I say you know what Boz Rudin was great in that movie Boz Rudin was great I will say I'll say this about the movie there was not a standing ovation after the movie ended.

Speaker 25 There were some some people clapping.

Speaker 25 Not a standing ovation when the movie was over.

Speaker 6 And there were also parts that were kind of dark and people started laughing and I was like, I don't know if that was, we're supposed to laugh at that or not.

Speaker 25 Like it was a little confusing there sometimes.

Speaker 37 So

Speaker 28 you don't want to say anything specifically negative about The Rock because then maybe your influencer status is going to get taken away.

Speaker 25 No, I wouldn't be compromised like that. I just said Boz Rudin was great in the movie.

Speaker 31 But you're holding back from maybe your real opinion.

Speaker 25 What do you mean? No, my real opinion is Boz Rudin was great.

Speaker 23 That was my opinion. Boz Rutin is always great.

Speaker 23 And what I was beginning to tell Tony, because we were talking algorithms earlier, uh i my algorithm has picked up recently a whole bunch of boss root and fights and his leg his leg kicks are lunacy like i would not i can't believe anybody would fight that person people didn't do leg kicks and it was like all right i'm just gonna kick this guy's legs what do you mean you're gonna kick his legs and then all of a sudden he can't use his legs just like

Speaker 39 just chop into the calf you're like oh my god i can't walk what was the commentary around that where they're like that's not fair It's like, what is he doing?

Speaker 38 He's kicking his legs.

Speaker 5 Okay, good, good, good, good thing on you.

Speaker 14 And then all of a sudden, you can't walk. Billy, I didn't want to bring this up because obviously as an mma influencer yeah you're big in the community obviously i know the community pretty well

Speaker 14 i know the community pretty well yeah we know of you we've heard of you right so i'm i'm excited to announce october 4th influencer for the mma community billy gill is going to be on the mma hangout at Gazatiki live october 4th for NXT 320.

Speaker 39 Can you imagine?

Speaker 25 Can you imagine? We're still done some T's and crossing some I's, but we'll see.

Speaker 5 We'll see how that works. Can you imagine, Dan?

Speaker 25 Last time I heard that place had a house inside of it, so it seems like they need to take down a house.

Speaker 39 No, we have to keep that whole thing.

Speaker 9 We'll figure it out.

Speaker 4 We'll figure it on.

Speaker 23 Tony's always coming to you with ideas about how to make

Speaker 5 money.

Speaker 23 And, well, but now

Speaker 23 you guys are working on what? Because you guys are always

Speaker 23 Tony's always trying to hatch something with you, and you are.

Speaker 14 Business is going.

Speaker 23 So how to make money is something.

Speaker 25 Here's the thing, Dan.

Speaker 14 Me and Billy were looking around and saying, how can we make money? Because we look around at other people and we're like, how do they make money?

Speaker 25 That's really the question question is how do other people how do other people make money because i see what things cost i see what people have and i'm not a pocket watcher i'm but i'm watching i'm curious yeah i'm curious how it is that people make money tony's in the home market right now looking for a home and then he sees oh that house costs 2.9 million dollars Someone has that money.

Speaker 25 Somebody has that money and has to be a lot of people.

Speaker 38 How'd they get that money? Exactly right.

Speaker 10 How'd they get that money?

Speaker 15 You've got three Porsches?

Speaker 17 Yeah. How does Tony get a Porsche?

Speaker 25 And it's just one. Any theories?

Speaker 9 What are our theories?

Speaker 18 How did you get all that money, Dan?

Speaker 40 How did you get that money?

Speaker 38 Well, Dan, we can't talk about Dan. Dan's

Speaker 39 other people.

Speaker 14 Wow. We know what Dan did.
I need to know what other people are doing. Are people in just tremendous amount of debt?

Speaker 5 I think that that is kind of

Speaker 39 like millions of dollars in debt, and they're like, Yeah, I'm good.

Speaker 38 Like, no, no, Biggie.

Speaker 5 Here's the thing, though, about that.

Speaker 15 They seem happy. They seem very happy.

Speaker 25 So happy in so much debt.

Speaker 15 You know who seems unhappy?

Speaker 25 I can tell you who seemed unhappy, Mark Kerr.

Speaker 9 Craig Cody, too.

Speaker 23 We got to get him a cough button over here.

Speaker 5 He has one.

Speaker 9 He has one.

Speaker 39 He's so depressing. Yeah, he's just, he hears it's on your mind.

Speaker 25 Take a swig of the Gatorade combined again. I feel like when you had them all three in there together, it kind of cleared you up.

Speaker 18 You know what I just noticed about Gatorade? What? This is all news to me. First of all, all three of them say contains no fruit juice.

Speaker 9 Okay?

Speaker 18 I'm not saying it's false advertising because they have it right here in small writing.

Speaker 9 You got to really look for it.

Speaker 18 But you would assume there's fruit juice in here. Number two, every one of them is the same exact amount of calories.
You'd think they would be different.

Speaker 46 Why?

Speaker 18 Because three different drinks, you know?

Speaker 18 They're three different drinks.

Speaker 25 I would think that it's more or less the same recipe. It's just like the little flavor, the coloring.

Speaker 18 Yeah, but you'd think they would be slightly different. You know, one's 80, one's 82.

Speaker 23 Give me the Ray Hudson music, please.

Speaker 13 It's a good observation, actually.

Speaker 36 Thank you.

Speaker 47 Ray Hudson.

Speaker 36 Ray Hudson.

Speaker 47 Ray Hudson.

Speaker 47 Ray Hudson,

Speaker 47 Ray Hudson, Ray Hudson Carl,

Speaker 47 Ray Hudson,

Speaker 47 Ray Hudson, Ray Hudson Carl.

Speaker 14 Nobody's working out there.

Speaker 39 People are just out on the street.

Speaker 48 Oh, yeah, and Lakai, in Porsche's, in Maseratis, in Mercedes-Benz. Nobody's working.
We're just hanging out.

Speaker 27 Dan, traffic, one o'clock in the afternoon.

Speaker 48 People just driving in expensive cars, just driving around, having fun, living life.

Speaker 36 Hey, you don't need to work?

Speaker 3 Cool.

Speaker 48 What did you do to not have to work anymore?

Speaker 3 Because I need to do that.

Speaker 16 That's Miami.

Speaker 26 Oh, you want to know?

Speaker 26 This is what damn money.

Speaker 47 This is what damn money.

Speaker 14 What would you do?

Speaker 5 To make money? Yeah.

Speaker 36 A lot of things.

Speaker 9 I'm here to make money.

Speaker 3 You don't have a house.

Speaker 48 That's a larger issue.

Speaker 29 We're going to have to sit here for the love of the game.

Speaker 7 Can we get paid for the love of the game?

Speaker 25 If you had to get paid by people honking at you, you'd be doing terribly.

Speaker 14 Well, no, again, pre-going on the air, I had like 10 honks.

Speaker 35 And then all of a sudden, they come in and we honk.

Speaker 25 Like the train honk? Because I think that was was it.

Speaker 14 No, the train was fake. The transfer.

Speaker 9 Even though there is a train holder.

Speaker 14 Make 10 bucks if I got paid by the honk.

Speaker 29 On your way to a house.

Speaker 18 Remember the bumper stickers? Honk if you do this, honk if you do that. They used to be everywhere.
Everywhere you drive, you'd see a honk if this bumper sticker.

Speaker 16 Would you ever honk?

Speaker 25 What would you honk for?

Speaker 26 You know, if the paper stopped.

Speaker 9 If you're horny.

Speaker 5 Yeah, see, yeah, that's the go-to. If you're watching lion videos, yes, baby.

Speaker 46 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 My favorite bumper sticker is my

Speaker 12 kid beat up your honorable student.

Speaker 47 Yeah, that's funny.

Speaker 23 Everyone who has one of those is an asshole.

Speaker 5 But again, not working. And in a Range Rover.

Speaker 15 So what do you mean? You tell me, Dan.

Speaker 23 Play the Ray Hudson call, please.

Speaker 49 As electrifying as a hairdryer thrown into a hot tub, my friend.

Speaker 47 Absolutely.

Speaker 49 Breathtaking.

Speaker 49 He puts the Haitian voodoo rattle on this one.

Speaker 49 Ah, like Betamax, you do not make them like him anymore.

Speaker 14 All right, so apparently everyone is launching their own AI agents now.

Speaker 25 You get an agent.

Speaker 14 No, you get an agent. They're automatting tasks, running workflows, making decisions, and occasionally absolutely wrecking your day.
You know what I'm talking about?

Speaker 14 An agent deletes the wrong files, changes something you've never approved, or just goes completely off script, like it's trying to improvise its way out of a paperbag.

Speaker 14 And suddenly, you're the one stuck trying to figure out what went wrong unless you're using Rubrik Agent Cloud. Because here's the thing, AI is moving fast, like really fast.

Speaker 14 Rubrik Agent Cloud is the only platform that lets you monitor, govern, and rewind AI agent actions.

Speaker 14 One platform that lets you unleash more agents faster without fear that they're going to burn the place down. You get full visibility into what your agents are doing.
You can enforce guardrails.

Speaker 14 You can actually quantify the risk. And if something breaks, you just rewind it.
Like an undo button, but for AI. And that rewind happens in minutes, not hours or days.

Speaker 14 And if your business relies on AI agents, you need the ability to monitor, govern, and rewind their actions. Right now, Lebatard Show listeners get exclusive early access to Rubrik Agent Cloud.

Speaker 43 Don Lebatard!

Speaker 18 What do I got here? I got a magnum condom.

Speaker 25 Um, we won't get that out.

Speaker 44 That's shocking.

Speaker 30 Stugats.

Speaker 18 Here's a picture of Christopher when he was like three years old.

Speaker 39 Right next to the condo.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 9 He's got a shot. Get a reminder.

Speaker 9 Never forget it.

Speaker 43 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 23 Tony was out on the streets feeling betrayed by the Falcons. And I don't know if you guys saw this, but after losing to Carolina, they just fired their receivers coach, Ike Hilliard.

Speaker 41 It's like, it's early in the season. I can get the skate going?

Speaker 23 It's early in the season to be doing that. They blame their wide receiver coach, Ike Hilliard.

Speaker 23 Did any of us feel like Ike Hilliard was responsible for losing to Carolina 30-0?

Speaker 18 He's a beautiful scapegoat. That's what he is.
And the Gators offense needs him back. I wonder if he's got any eligibility left.

Speaker 23 Greg, would you be kind enough to tell us why it is that you were talking so much before the show about chainsaws? Is there any particular reason that you were...

Speaker 23 you? I have never held a chainsaw before. I've never held one in my hands before.
I've put it on the poll at Lebetard's show. Have you ever used a chainsaw? Yes or no?

Speaker 23 What is the answer to the question in the room?

Speaker 9 I have.

Speaker 5 Everyone else has?

Speaker 23 Billy, you have. Jeremy, have you used a chainsaw before?

Speaker 9 Have you looked at me? No, obviously not.

Speaker 31 You haven't?

Speaker 28 He and I are Jewish. Come on.

Speaker 9 Okay,

Speaker 18 so I have a chainsaw in my garage right now. It's one of those, I think it's a foot and a half blade.

Speaker 18 And chainsaws, most of us associate them with cutting down trees or pruning branches or something like that. That's the predominant use now, of course.

Speaker 18 The chainsaw was invented not for that, but for widening the pubic cartilage to aid in child delivery back in the 18th or 19th centuries.

Speaker 26 I looked that up.

Speaker 18 Yeah, that's exactly right. That was the chainsaws original.
That's a three-fact jack from the Greg Cody Show podcast.

Speaker 18 Occasionally in researching that, I come up with a fact that not only I didn't know, but that astonishes me.

Speaker 23 I feel like that's a fact we could have all gone the rest of time without needing to know.

Speaker 18 It's important information.

Speaker 9 It's a fact, Jack.

Speaker 23 Thank you. That seems insane.

Speaker 25 It was different, though. It was not the modern saw.

Speaker 4 It can't be the same chainsaw.

Speaker 25 No, it's different. It was a flexible saw.

Speaker 29 It was chainsaw.

Speaker 23 It was the original. That's why you came in here today talking about the chainsaws.
Yes. Why did this come up on the the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody?

Speaker 7 Three Facts Jack every week.

Speaker 18 I have a segment called Three Facts Jack every Week where I astonish listeners with something that I'm sure they didn't know. And that was number two this week, I believe.

Speaker 6 What was better than that?

Speaker 18 I can't even remember what they were. What was the number one? Listen to the podcast.
We'll all find out together.

Speaker 34 So, Greg, when I was looking for that fact to just confirm, Google AI did confirm it for me.

Speaker 33 So I clicked on the link that it used as proof, and it was a Facebook post from someone named Craig Peterson on the official site of the rock band Slave Raider.

Speaker 33 So

Speaker 6 that's your backup information.

Speaker 25 Yeah, I don't know anything about that. That's good to distance yourself there, Greg.

Speaker 18 I don't source AI. You know,

Speaker 18 I go right to the source.

Speaker 9 So what was the source?

Speaker 18 Well, I talked to several relatives of women who 200 years ago had this procedure done, and they verified it to me. So it really is a fact.

Speaker 25 I have a correction from earlier, Craig. So Minnie Pearl was a stage name, not her actual name.
So she may not actually be related to Bruce Pearl.

Speaker 26 Wow.

Speaker 18 I wonder if Pearl knows that. I don't know.

Speaker 25 Bruce, yeah. I wonder if that's his real name.
Let me look it up.

Speaker 36 Yeah.

Speaker 18 Minnie Pearl was famous for on stage, she would wear a hat with the price tag left on it. That's right.
You know, she was a country

Speaker 18 comedian.

Speaker 25 Bruce Allen Pearl, it is his real name.

Speaker 44 Okay.

Speaker 18 What was Minnie Pearl's real name?

Speaker 23 Oh, for the love of God, Greg, please. I'm just curious.
Please.

Speaker 18 It could be a three-factor.

Speaker 9 You're here now.

Speaker 23 You came in here, Greg, you came in here today, okay, talking about chainsaws, and you talked about, for some reason, being naked and

Speaker 23 getting your fat percentage.

Speaker 18 Oh, this is, look, I have to read this sentence to you because it's astonishing, okay?

Speaker 18 And this is serious stuff.

Speaker 18 A Rhode Island judge sentenced an ex-high school basketball coach to a year of probation after he spent decades asking hundreds of male student athletes if they were shy or not shy before asking them to get naked to check their body fat.

Speaker 18 Now, what's astonishing to me about that sentence is the word decades.

Speaker 18 Like, during those decades, there wasn't a kid. Mom, the kid gets home from school.
Mom says, Teddy, how was your day today? He says, Mom, it was good, but it was weird.

Speaker 18 In basketball practice, the coach had everybody get naked, and mom goes to the principal. Why did that never happen in decades? You know what?

Speaker 26 I'm going to do this again. I'm just asking.

Speaker 21 Stop, talk, Jessica. Just, just stop.

Speaker 25 Sarah Ophelia Collie Cannon is Minnie Pearl. Maybe related to Nick Cannon.
Let me check. Yeah, please.

Speaker 18 Ophelia is a name that you don't see anymore.

Speaker 33 Well, that's because she was born 791 dog years ago.

Speaker 39 Minor penalty, 2984, a verbal diarrhea.

Speaker 21 Out. Oh, okay.

Speaker 46 That's harsh.

Speaker 29 Just out.

Speaker 23 Get out of here. Just leave for a little while.

Speaker 28 Some depressive last couple minutes.

Speaker 23 I mean, just unbelievable.

Speaker 25 Across decades, someone should have said something to the principal honestly greg's right about that yes he is he is not that it would have been better if it was only like five years it's still bad just just leave for a little while gather yourself chainsaw fact was interesting so the punishment was just the guy has to stand somewhere naked that i don't i don't quite know that's not that it's a punishment what was the punishment he was checking people's body fat you know when when they take out those pinchers down dude i remember those as bigger huskier kids you know what i'm talking about i had those pinchers they're like hey look on your pancita let me see if i can grab as much fat as i can It's always right.

Speaker 25 It's always like right here.

Speaker 27 Regardless, got a lot of fat.

Speaker 9 I like that. The hard pit.

Speaker 5 Remember those hats? It's always right here for me.

Speaker 38 That's the pancita right there.

Speaker 7 The love handles.

Speaker 23 Yep.

Speaker 23 Zaslow was

Speaker 23 celebrating something that I don't often see celebrated. Jerry Jones has decided and has said for some reason that Micah Parsons isn't going to get...
Greg, go to the penalty box.

Speaker 23 It's not a punishment to just. What are you doing? Sit there lounging.
Just sit there lounging. Go to the penalty box.

Speaker 5 That's a nice shirt. It is a nice shirt going that shirt Jeremy would wear.

Speaker 39 Yeah, of course I would.

Speaker 4 It's a great shirt.

Speaker 25 I figured out that shirt. So you asked before the material.

Speaker 25 I think it's a cotton blend, but the best way I would describe it is: if your clothes and Tony's clothes had baby clothes, it would be that shirt. What do you mean?

Speaker 25 Like if your clothes and his clothes made it, it would be that shirt. What do you mean? Oh,

Speaker 14 the shirt that I'm wearing and the shirt that he's wearing?

Speaker 4 No, not necessarily today.

Speaker 13 Yeah, or styles. I get it.

Speaker 33 No, that makes sense.

Speaker 23 So Zaslow, as I was saying, Zaslow and Jerry Jones are aligned.

Speaker 24 Yeah.

Speaker 23 Because Jerry Jones says no tribute for Micah Parsons. Good.
Or

Speaker 23 how does Jerry Jones refer to Micah Parsons? Michael Parsons. He says that he is not going to celebrate him, and you

Speaker 23 co-sign?

Speaker 27 Absolutely.

Speaker 11 So they're playing this weekend.

Speaker 28 Packers at Cowboys. So Micah Parsons is making his return to Dallas.

Speaker 23 I'm so over

Speaker 32 this

Speaker 31 culture where we have to do tributes to every player who's returning to the venue they played in before.

Speaker 17 Micah Parsons was a really good player.

Speaker 10 Guess what the tribute was?

Speaker 33 The paycheck he got every other week.

Speaker 10 That's right. That's how we thank you.

Speaker 17 You get paid to be really, really good.

Speaker 10 If you want a Super Bowl, okay, then let's have a conversation about a tribute.

Speaker 17 Otherwise, he played there for what?

Speaker 32 Four or five years?

Speaker 10 They didn't win shit. And now we're going to do a tribute.

Speaker 40 And you know what? I've also had it with this statue conversation.

Speaker 32 Can we cool it with the players who get statues?

Speaker 10 Get the hell out of here. It's enough of this.

Speaker 17 A tribute?

Speaker 10 We got to thank everybody.

Speaker 22 I think the Heat gave one to Gabe Vincent.

Speaker 10 The Heat, a couple weeks ago, when they traded Haywood Ismith, they put out this whole picture. Thank you, Haywood.
Thank you for what?

Speaker 41 For what?

Speaker 10 Hey, you got paid. Hey, yeah, you got paycheck.
That's the thank you.

Speaker 17 What are we doing?

Speaker 10 Everyone's going to get tributes.

Speaker 23 Michael Parson.

Speaker 10 Jerry's right on this.

Speaker 25 Zaz, I don't know how you feel about this, but Greg said that Don Staley shouldn't get a statue. That was too much.

Speaker 23 Why can't we enjoy the celebrating of greatness? What are you objecting to?

Speaker 15 He's still coaching, though. It's weird, right?

Speaker 39 It's like, oh, it's somebody.

Speaker 30 Michael Parsons is still playing.

Speaker 7 I mean, it's like a statue.

Speaker 23 What is the explanation that Jerry had?

Speaker 13 No one sees you, Dad.

Speaker 23 Were there quotes from Jerry Jones on why it is that he doesn't want to celebrate

Speaker 23 Michael Parson with a tribute?

Speaker 31 Yeah, some of the effect of it was different when Emmett came back.

Speaker 10 You're damn right, Jerry.

Speaker 31 It's a lot different when Emmett came back.

Speaker 10 He won three Super Bowls.

Speaker 9 Come on.

Speaker 10 Michael Parsons, pat on the back. We appreciate why we're here.
And I'll go play for somebody else.

Speaker 17 Tributes.

Speaker 23 Get the hell out of here.

Speaker 23 No statue, no tribute, just a paycheck and a slap on the back.

Speaker 5 A hearty slap on the back.

Speaker 10 Enough of this.

Speaker 17 Oh, you played for us. Thank you forever.

Speaker 30 What?

Speaker 33 The direct quote is, I don't think that's appropriate this way. Emmett was a different story.
That's not to diminish Micah.

Speaker 13 I think Micah has

Speaker 33 enough welcome out there, and we just need to show that we've got antidotes for that.

Speaker 13 He's right.

Speaker 9 No, I don't know if they have antidotes.

Speaker 5 Don't really know what they're doing.

Speaker 41 But he's right about the rest of it.

Speaker 25 It'd be great if they thanked him and it said Michael Parsons.

Speaker 33 He has enough welcome out there, and we just need to show that we've got antidotes for that.

Speaker 34 Enough welcome? What does that mean?

Speaker 31 Cheer for him. Antidotes?

Speaker 28 Well,

Speaker 28 he's talking about their offense. He thinks their offense could be the antidotes.

Speaker 43 I'm not so sure about that.

Speaker 23 It's a strange thing for you to get so angry about.

Speaker 23 You're getting really fired up.

Speaker 31 It's so lame how we have to thank everyone who played for us oh my god

Speaker 18 i agree zaz is right zaz is right i mean he played four years for the cowboys who cares and never won anything look um uh lebron played four years for the heat but won two championships you know he you give him a uh a tribute you don't give mic a tribute you guys are sitting here you guys have decided to take the position of being anti-gratitude That's what you two are doing right now.

Speaker 41 That's what the money's for.

Speaker 25 They're pro-appropriate gratitude. They're saying this is inappropriate gratitude.
He got his gratitude already.

Speaker 18 Plus, the gratitude is something you do in retrospect. This is a few weeks after he was traded.
This is the same season. He's here to try to beat you today.
You don't say, hey, thanks a lot.

Speaker 44 Now go kick our ass.

Speaker 23 Michael Parson. I'm with you, Jerry.

Speaker 28 I'm with you.
