The Big Suey: THAT SOUNDS GOOD!
David Samson joins us to continue our discussion on Tenet and why it falls into the not a good movie category. He also weighs in on why the Detroit Tigers would trade Tarik Skubal, the upcoming CBA negotiations in the WNBA, and Stephen Ross's unsuccessful reign as the owner of the Miami Dolphins. Plus, Amin issues an apology, and Zas tells us whether he's ever thought about taking that trip to Turkey.

Speaker 13 Welcome to the Big Sue,
Speaker 13 presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? It's a podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebetard podcast.
Speaker 15 I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.
Speaker 13 In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.
Speaker 16 I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries that if they're just there.
Speaker 13 If that hasn't happened to you guys, I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, Fat Face, and the habitual liar.
Speaker 17 This episode of the Dan Labetard show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
Speaker 16
Hell yeah. We welcome in David Sampson.
Nothing personal with David Sampson is the show. You listen to it every day.
Speaker 16 You catch wherever you get podcasts on DraftKings Network, on YouTube, wherever you find yourself listening to stuff. And David, we got a lot to get to.
Speaker 16 The greatest World Series of all time, all that stuff.
Speaker 16 I know usually we hold the movie talk to the end, but I did want to include you in this conversation we had right before you came on about the running man. Tony just found out that it's a reboot.
Speaker 16
He asked, should I watch the original one? He didn't know anything about it. He didn't know anything about it.
We had to teach him about it. But he asked, should I watch the original one?
Speaker 16 Would you, as a movie aficionado, suggest that he wait to watch the old one after he watches the new one or to watch the old one first and then watch the new one?
Speaker 18
I'm not going to be that guy because I don't want to turn into my father where I say the original is always better, you got to start with the original. No, no, I'm new age, man.
I'm young now.
Speaker 18
Forget the original. Go with the new one.
Forget the original. It's old.
It's 1980-something like seven. It's so long ago, you probably weren't even alive.
So screw it.
Speaker 18 Just forget Arnold, forget Dick Dawson, and go right to GP.
Speaker 19 Ah, but I like Arnold, though.
Speaker 18 Well, okay, then watch that one first.
Speaker 8 Thank you. But don't you know?
Speaker 18 There's no way this remake.
Speaker 18 So I have a question that I'm asking myself, which is, am I even going to watch this one?
Speaker 18
It's like me watching Colin Farrell, who I love. But I'm really taking the time to watch Total Recall, and I did, and I regretted it.
Am I going to take the time to watch Russell Brand and Arthur?
Speaker 18
Forget it. I'm a Dudley Moore guy, but I did it.
And the new ones are never as good as the originals.
Speaker 16 Manchurian candidate? The new one was better than the original.
Speaker 14 Oh, it's a good movie.
Speaker 3 Done so.
Speaker 18 That is interesting.
Speaker 18 So there are examples, but I think that
Speaker 18 that one, the original Manchurian candidate is a different even generation than the Arthurs and the Total Recalls of the world.
Speaker 18 So in that case, I'm with you, where I would always prefer the new ones just because it makes me feel more current. But when they're redoing movies from the 80s, it makes me insane.
Speaker 17 David, Christopher Nolan does amazing movies, but would you agree that Tenet is a piece of shit?
Speaker 18 No, I think that
Speaker 18 it just wasn't received well because no one understood it.
Speaker 19 Did you?
Speaker 17 Probably a key element to making a movie. Yeah.
Speaker 21 I'm with Zaz. Did you understand it?
Speaker 18 I did not understand it, but that is not directly correlated to whether I love something because I leave movies often where I have to ask my girlfriend, hey, what just happened? Or
Speaker 18 I don't understand a whole lot of stuff that goes on, and I don't necessarily use that as my sole barometer.
Speaker 18 I have an appreciation for that movie and what sort of the movie of it, the technical movie of it, without understanding it at all.
Speaker 17 I don't agree.
Speaker 21 I mean, his explanation was even more confusing than the plot. It's a bad movie.
Speaker 21 I mean, that's a word salad.
Speaker 22 It's a bad movie.
Speaker 21 And what are your thoughts on John David Washington as a performer? I know he had Black Klansmen that was well received, but in terms of stretching his chops, after that,
Speaker 23 he is a failed leading man.
Speaker 21 And the box office has spoken on that with pretty much
Speaker 21 finality, I think.
Speaker 18 Oh, it may not be finality, but they certainly have spoken. But Mike, I would ask you, do you have to like a piece of art in the Louvre to appreciate the fact that it is great art?
Speaker 3 I like ambition.
Speaker 17 You have to at least understand it.
Speaker 11 Yeah, understanding it, it was so convoluted.
Speaker 23 It was a real Christopher Nolan heat check, I thought.
Speaker 10 And
Speaker 21 it probably worked against the film's best interest that there wasn't anybody in there because he has such creative power saying, this is way too damn confusing, even for you.
Speaker 24 And I also think they got the lead switched up.
Speaker 21
I don't think the lead was as charismatic. Maybe if you had a more charismatic lead, people would care about the main character more.
I ended up caring more about the supporting cast.
Speaker 16 Mike, I'm going to tell you right now, this is something I've held for the last maybe five, six, seven years. I used to always, oh, a movie comes out, and then the director's cut comes out.
Speaker 16 Yeah, show me the version that the studio haters didn't want us to see. So what's a little longer?
Speaker 15 Give me that Snyder cut.
Speaker 16
Yeah, give me the raw uncut, right? And now I'm like, man, the studio is right, man. These guys need editors.
They need editors. Otherwise, it's just like fever dreams, David.
Speaker 18 Yeah, so I never minded seeing things or reading things that I didn't understand and just appreciating the quality of them. Like with poetry, hard for me to understand.
Speaker 18
Shakespeare, hard to understand, but you're just appreciating what you're reading. As I said, art.
Movies are the same for me.
Speaker 18
I just love, there's a bunch of action sequences, action movies, where I really don't understand what's happening. It doesn't make sense.
I can't keep track of characters.
Speaker 18 Like in, there was was a recent show I watched,
Speaker 18 Mobland.
Speaker 5 Oh, yeah, Mobland.
Speaker 8 I loved it.
Speaker 18 But I'm not sure that I really remembered which characters were what and who was doing what to who and hating who.
Speaker 18 But I still appreciated it as a great piece of, you know, seeing Pierce Brosn and James Bond, by the way, Zaz outrage that you've never seen about a movie.
Speaker 14 I know.
Speaker 18 It's stupid to me, actually. I've noticed that.
Speaker 17
I even say, it's not like I'm not seeing it because, oh, I'm not into it. I know I would like them.
I know, it's embarrassing.
Speaker 18 I get it. I just don't understand the concept of knowing that that's what threw me off in the first hour.
Speaker 18 When you know you like something and then still don't do it, that is maybe the poorest reflection on going after your own hedonism that I've ever heard.
Speaker 21 How about this, Zaz?
Speaker 6
I'm going to read you a little synopsis of Skyfall for James Bond, Daniel Craig. Okay.
James Bond's loyalty to M is tested.
Speaker 6 When her past comes back to haunt her, when MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat no matter how much the personal cost.
Speaker 5 Oh, come on.
Speaker 18 Yo, the same.
Speaker 5 Yo.
Speaker 5 I like that.
Speaker 19 That sounds cool. Not all of them are the same, Dave.
Speaker 10 Not all of them the same.
Speaker 3 I like that.
Speaker 16 It's the British version of Mission Impossible, right?
Speaker 15 Another goaded franchise.
Speaker 16 Another goaded franchise. But also,
Speaker 16 I walk away sometimes thinking to myself, in your defense, as, like, what was that movie about? I don't remember. I don't remember what Ghost Protocol was about.
Speaker 14 Mike will remind me.
Speaker 23 He was disavowed, David.
Speaker 8 He was disavowed again.
Speaker 19 Do you not get that?
Speaker 17 Is that the one where Henry Cowell does the cool thing with his fists?
Speaker 19 No. Oh.
Speaker 18 One of the great things about Bond movies is that
Speaker 18 it makes you realize sort of where you are, what you love, what you don't love. Maude Adams was one of, along with Shannon Tweed, I would say, are the first two examples.
Speaker 18 Well, there was a movie called Hot Dog the Movie. One of the worst movies you'll ever see, except it was fantastic.
Speaker 18 And Maude Adams was in a Bond movie called Octopussy, which was mentioned by Tony early in Last Hour.
Speaker 18 And that's a movie you just see because how do you not see it when you're 13 years old and instead of studying your Haftorah, you know, you're watching Maude Adams and trying to figure out how the world works.
Speaker 18 So I think that Zaz, you have an opportunity to do something with your kids to open them to a world of greatness. And I think you should start like during COVID, I'd never seen a Marvel movie.
Speaker 18 or a Harry Potter movie and I watch Lord of the Rings and I watched them all during COVID. I think you have an opportunity right now during the government shutdown since you can't fly.
Speaker 18 I think you have an opportunity to watch every Bond movie with your children.
Speaker 16 American Airlines has buses now, by the way.
Speaker 19 You know about that auto pussy?
Speaker 17 I do. I don't know if we're talking about the same one, but I know about that.
Speaker 18 It's a big story, I mean, especially for you going back and forth.
Speaker 18
It's an absolute nightmare. Everyone figuring out which are the 40 airports that they're going to cut the flights.
And the good news is the FAA,
Speaker 18 the head of the department, said we're doing this proactively we're not going to react to plane crashes we're going to try to avoid them by delaying flights and canceling flights right now yes i thought that was super nice of him 10 of flights are getting cut back while this shutdown is going on in anticipation of the increased travel during holiday season, which is right upon us.
Speaker 16 They're saying, oh, show up to the airport early. To find out that my flight got canceled?
Speaker 18 No, you'll know in advance, but there's one rule that you can learn by watching the West Wing or you can learn just by living that like an air traffic controller strike or a government shutdown, those do not fly or that's a misuse of that word.
Speaker 18
Thank you. You can't use have that happen during the holiday period.
October is generally a slow month for travel, so things aren't insane.
Speaker 18 But come Thanksgiving, you can bet your keester that this will be taken care of because the airlines will not in any way accept a reduced schedule during holiday travel.
Speaker 16 Do you think it gets resolved? You think the shutdown gets resolved before Thanksgiving?
Speaker 10 Yeah, it has to.
Speaker 17 It absolutely has to. I thought I read that people think it's going to be back this weekend.
Speaker 26 Really, I guess.
Speaker 18
I think that the pressure is being brought to bear. So how is everyone? Everyone reacts the same way.
If it doesn't affect me, then I don't care.
Speaker 18 You know, we had Election Day this week and the results, Miami was especially horrible about voter turnout where such a small percentage of people use their right to vote which makes me insane obviously however
Speaker 18 i i would tell you that uh it is a very big deal to have a government shutdown only when it starts impacting citizens and air traffic is one of those things that starts impacting people when they want to see family during the holiday time period.
Speaker 6 Zaz, you know about that Spectre? A cryptic message from James Bond's past sends him on a trail to uncover the existence of a sinister organization named Spectre.
Speaker 6 With a new threat dawning, Bond learns a terrible truth about the author of his pain at his most recent mission.
Speaker 17 Yo, that sounds good. I like that.
Speaker 21 It was City of Miami and Hyalia, basically local governments that just exist for sports owners to extort.
Speaker 18 But still, 20% of eligible voters showing up, I think you'd have to agree, is a number that should be embarrassing to you.
Speaker 24 It's also super old people that live in both cities, right?
Speaker 6 So it's not like a massive Miami thing.
Speaker 11 Like Kendall doesn't have voting.
Speaker 8 I love Kendall. What?
Speaker 2
My man. I love Kendall.
You should be Mayor of Kendall town.
Speaker 16 I want to be. Would you consider that? If they put a zip line at the top of the Elsa, absolutely.
Speaker 19 We will never incorporate. Thank you.
Speaker 16 We will never unincorporated, probably.
Speaker 24 Yes, unless a sports owner comes along and wants to extort us and promise us the world or the water park at Metro Zero.
Speaker 21 That's big on the docket. Then we're willing to listen.
Speaker 15
Don Lebatard. We love you.
We've got you.
Speaker 18
We've all got each other. Let's go right now.
Stugats.
Speaker 15 One, two, three, Brett. One, two, three, Brett.
Speaker 27 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.
Speaker 10 Are the Tigers really going to deal Scoobel?
Speaker 18 If they're smart, they would.
Speaker 21 Yeah, if they're smart, this guy seems amazing, and he pitched lights out for them.
Speaker 10 They got it to the playoffs.
Speaker 21 Why would this be a smart move, getting rid of one of the game's best arms?
Speaker 18 Because this is when he's at his most valuable, the year before free agency.
Speaker 18 And I'm not saying they'll get it right because it's possible that they'll trade for Miller and Maben and they won't work out. And it's possible Scoobel will be an MVP and a Hall of Fame guy.
Speaker 18 However, you have to maximize your assets and trading players a year too early is way better than trading them a year too late. And you can turn Schubel right now.
Speaker 18 You can turn him into way more than Scoobel, especially with pitching injuries that are happening left, right, and center. The ability of pitchers to sign long term, only a few teams want to do it.
Speaker 18 Nobody should do it.
Speaker 18 So that's the whole goal when you've got assets, whether it's stocks, whether it's currency, whether it's players, whatever it is that you're quote unquote trafficking in, the key is to sell high and buy low.
Speaker 18 And there is no higher selling than Scoobel out of Detroit right now.
Speaker 10 But aren't they a contender?
Speaker 18 Yes.
Speaker 7 So
Speaker 7 why do that?
Speaker 21 Is it not? I know it's not absolutely.
Speaker 18
They're going to get major league pieces. They're going to get depth.
They're going to get an opportunity. Scoobel had
Speaker 18 second straight.
Speaker 24 Yamamoto, get out of here. I don't understand.
Speaker 24 It's counterintuitive to a team that's like pretty close.
Speaker 18
Well, as I recall, he won Cy Young's two years ago. I believe he's going to win this year.
He's a finalist. He's going to win.
Speaker 18 That'll be two Cy Young's in a row and a total of zero World Series, zero league championship series appearances. So in baseball, having a Cy Young winner is amazing.
Speaker 18 Having a number one starter, hard to find. But guess what? It's time to churn if you're the Tigers because you're not going to have a top five payroll.
Speaker 18 You're not going to be able to sign him long term, very likely. Therefore, maximize what you're going to get from him.
Speaker 16 David, in basketball, we see a lot of monkey see monkey do. People see success and then they try to emulate the success.
Speaker 16 In baseball, we went through this phase where everyone's like, starting pitcher doesn't matter.
Speaker 16 We're just going to have bullpens, guys are going to pitch four innings, and then we're just going to cycle through.
Speaker 16 And now the Dodgers came out and they won a World Series basically on the backs of starting pitching. Do you anticipate a shift in philosophy back to the importance of the starting pitcher?
Speaker 18 Well, really, what you're seeing to mean is what the Dodgers did is something called load management, which had never never happened in baseball before.
Speaker 18
Baseball, there were times when you're playing guys 160 times. Sometimes you had what was called a Sunday lineup.
So guys would play six days, but sit the seventh day like they're resting for Shabbat.
Speaker 18 What the Dodgers did is they went full Billy Epler.
Speaker 18 They secreted people away on the injured list, and all of a sudden the pitchers were healthy and ready to roll for October, and they were fresh as tomatoes on the side of the highway.
Speaker 18 So I think that's what's going to be copied. Baseball is very much a monkey see, monkey do
Speaker 18 sport. When that started with the shift, that starts with all sorts of things.
Speaker 18 I think next year, and it's going to be a CBA issue, you are going to see load management all of a sudden become a topic of conversation because that's really what the Dodgers did.
Speaker 16
Speaking of CBA, I was fascinated. This is probably about a week ago.
You were on the sporting class, and you got a lot of heat for what you talked about, the WNBA CBA.
Speaker 17 Yeah, people are mad at you.
Speaker 18 God dang, that was crazy. People just don't get it, but that's okay.
Speaker 16 Go ahead.
Speaker 16 This is one of those times where I'm like, yeah, I agree with David.
Speaker 16 I feel like the WNBA is experiencing this massive explosion in fandom, which is awesome. But it's a fandom that is not familiar with some mechanics of professional sports.
Speaker 16 And one of them is collective bargaining agreement negotiations. And
Speaker 16 this idea that
Speaker 16 they could just walk in, well, will the man get 50%? We'll get 50%. I'm like,
Speaker 16 that's not how negotiations work.
Speaker 16 In some way, David, I don't think they understand that the men and women who are negotiating in that boardroom don't care about winning Twitter and threads.
Speaker 18 That's funny.
Speaker 16 They care about money. And it's like, I'm not just going to give you money.
Speaker 16 Oh, it's a little embarrassing for me every time I open up this app.
Speaker 16 Am I, are we just cynics, David, or what's happening here?
Speaker 18 Well, no, people got angry because they thought that I made up the fact that the women were asking for the same percentage of revenue that the men were asking for, and I got that from the people who are negotiating.
Speaker 18 And Pablo actually came out and tweeted the passage that showed where I got my information from.
Speaker 18 And here's what I was trying to explain to the people who believe this is the moment for the WNBA and the women who believe the same thing. This is not your moment.
Speaker 18
Here's what it's your moment moment to do. Not get where the NBA is because you're ignoring the reality of the WNBA's finances.
Forget expansion fees. Forget Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 18 The reality is the WNBA is not in even remotely close to the same position as the NBA, and therefore there will not be the same CBA. However,
Speaker 18 What the women have the ability to do that I would argue the men do not.
Speaker 18 The women have the opportunity to just leave yeah
Speaker 18 86 of the players in the w nba are free agents do me a favor go join maverick carter go to plan b it may not be called plan b that's a thing that's something else that's uh dating
Speaker 16 i can't believe i just got that wrong it's it's called something like plan b i don't know why that second option dave second option david it it doesn't even matter what they go to because you've got the european leagues where many of them make the majority of their money you've got china you've got the uh unrivaled unrivaled you you have a a plethora of options that unlike would it happen to the nba that where we say those other options don't pay as well these options all pay better
Speaker 18 So I don't understand the whole concept.
Speaker 18
And you saw a player just today. And now, of course, please help me.
I forgot the name of the player.
Speaker 18 And I forgot the name of the league, but it is Maverick Carter's women's league that he's starting, where she's a former MVP, and she announced that she's going to go play for this league.
Speaker 18 What the WNBA needs to decide right now is, and both the players and management, is are we an entity that has the ability to continue to grow and continue on a path which they've never been on?
Speaker 18 They've never proven that they can be successful either on the court or off the court. Is this the time where the WNBA says that we can be a going concern, number one and number two,
Speaker 18
we can be the best in the world? Because that's what Major League Baseball is. That's what the NFL is.
That's what the NBA is. That's what the NHL is.
WNBA is not that.
Speaker 18 And in order to do that, it's more than just paying the players more.
Speaker 18 It is the question of is the concept of women's professional basketball, is that the possibility of only having a monopoly of one major league which pays the most?
Speaker 18 And what's proven over the last two and a half decades? No.
Speaker 16 The players, Neka Gumake, she is the sister of Shineo Gumake, who's on ESPN a lot. And Neka is signed with
Speaker 16 the league is called Project B.
Speaker 18 Project B.
Speaker 18 So I was thinking Project X, which is another movie that Zaz hasn't seen.
Speaker 16 Have you ever seen Project X?
Speaker 17 I've seen that so Michael Jordan.
Speaker 17 That's how they won with Michael B. Jordan.
Speaker 15 Matthew Broderick.
Speaker 18 I thought it was Matthew Broderick, but I could be wrong.
Speaker 19 Oh,
Speaker 23 that's the thing where Buddy has a house party. Yeah.
Speaker 10 And then his family went to the movie.
Speaker 17 That's what I'm thinking. What's that movie called?
Speaker 17 Yeah, what's that movie called?
Speaker 16
Project X. Project X.
He's not in that movie.
Speaker 26 Miles Teller is.
Speaker 16 Miles Teller is in that movie, yeah.
Speaker 15 And Michael B. Jordan.
Speaker 16 My man Dax Flame is in that movie. Shout out to.
Speaker 18 Roy, what am I thinking of? Am I having a moment here?
Speaker 2 You're thinking of the Matthew Broderick movie that involves a War Games?
Speaker 2 No, no, no. No,
Speaker 16 there's a Project X movie with Matthew Broderick. Yes.
Speaker 5 Thank you.
Speaker 18 Yeah, I feel way better right now.
Speaker 6 Speaking of movies, Zazzy Nobel, No Time to Die, James Bond has left active service.
Speaker 6 His peace is short-lived when Felix Leiter, an old friend from the CIA, turns up asking for help, leading Bond into a trail of mysterious villains armed with dangerous new technology.
Speaker 18
I think you're screwing him, Tony. I think you ought to be reading about for your eyes only.
You ought to be telling him about Christopher Walken. You ought to be telling him about Grace Jones.
Speaker 16 Eyes have you to to a kill.
Speaker 11 Yeah. Great song.
Speaker 15 Oh, yeah. Duran Duran?
Speaker 18 Duran Duran, baby.
Speaker 19 What do you know about Duran Duran?
Speaker 3 I know about Duran Duran. You do? Yeah.
Speaker 18 Can you name two members of the Duran Duran band?
Speaker 16 Yeah. Duran and Duran.
Speaker 19 Roberto Duran and Jalen Duran.
Speaker 17 But Tony, tell Roy, just in case.
Speaker 6 Just in case what?
Speaker 17 In case he doesn't know. Durant and Duran.
Speaker 16 Juju put her on the poll. Can you name two members from Duran Duran?
Speaker 15 Wait, can you name one member of Durant Duran?
Speaker 18 This this is impossible to believe that no one's gonna come up with Nick Rhodes or Simon LeBon. Is it really possible?
Speaker 16 Yes, I would guess Mike.
Speaker 15 I would have if I found that money, I would say
Speaker 19 where's Duran?
Speaker 16 Where's Jalen Duran?
Speaker 18 There is no Duran and Duran Duran.
Speaker 5 What? What?
Speaker 19 Then who's Duran?
Speaker 18 Simon Duran Duran.
Speaker 17 False advertising.
Speaker 21 A great way to make people believe that you knew all along is just say a name in the tone of Paul Roy.
Speaker 19 Simon LeBon.
Speaker 16 Kevin Durant.
Speaker 16 Kevin Durant.
Speaker 16 David,
Speaker 16 Chris Greer got fired. You believe that it's a move, but it's not the move.
Speaker 24 What does that mean?
Speaker 18 What's that mean? Ooh, thank you for letting me talk about the Dolphins on your non-local hour because Stephen Ross was under so much pressure as an owner.
Speaker 18 Because on this show, I believe I posited that he's the worst owner in the history of South Florida. Really? And that's saying something given where ownership has been been in South Florida.
Speaker 18
He hasn't won one playoff game in the 18 years that he's on the team. Not one.
Not one.
Speaker 18 But he has created a ton of value using public money, Mike Ryan.
Speaker 18 Plenty of public money that he has used to build his fiefdom out there near Waynesworld with F1 and tennis and all the other stuff he's done.
Speaker 18
Plenty of public money, even though people don't talk about it. So the team stinks over and over again.
Poorly spent money, unable to find a way to get something together. What do you do?
Speaker 18
You have a GM and a coach. Both of them need to go.
The coach is lost. You go to his press conferences, you speak to local media who are going there and looking at him and listening to him.
Speaker 18 The guy sounds like a babbling idiot, and that's what happens when you come off as quirky when you haven't yet proven whether or not you're great.
Speaker 18 And then, once you're not great, the quirkiness becomes babbling idiocy, and that's where McDaniel is. So, the question is: why would you get rid of Greer and not McDaniel?
Speaker 18
Because you're in the middle of a season where something good might happen. No, the Dolphins season is over.
Because you still believe that McDaniel has the locker room? Who cares? It's so overrated.
Speaker 18 He doesn't have the locker room because they're not winning. My view is: you do a clean sweep and you show your fan base that you are going to bring in a Bill Parcells type.
Speaker 18 You're going to bring in someone and give them total control over all football operations from start to finish, including coach, drafts, everything.
Speaker 18 The problem is, Steven Ross may be pushing up daisies. I'm not wishing, but he's not young.
Speaker 18 And so, does he not have time for what is required other than what the Dolphins do, which is get mired in mediocrity? Is it possible he doesn't feel he has the time for a complete redo?
Speaker 18 Because what firing Chris Greer was, was like, you know, putting a band-aid on a, you know, three-inch, three-deep cut.

Speaker 27 Stugats.
Speaker 18 Tetas.
Speaker 27 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.
Speaker 16 We got Mike McDaniels' latest press availability this year.
Speaker 28 They've beaten us because they've scored more points and done the right football things longer than we have in those games
Speaker 18 that we lost.
Speaker 28 You know, I think that's the measure of a good football team is being able to win.
Speaker 19 You know, particularly there's been a couple one-score games
Speaker 15 of late. I do.
Speaker 15 Hold on, let me keep going. We've lost.
Speaker 19 I don't think I want to do this.
Speaker 16 You don't want to hear them kind of like critical.
Speaker 20 Stutter his way through this.
Speaker 19 Excuse me, man, man. No, this is.
Speaker 15 Play this in Gitmo.
Speaker 8 I wish you could have them back play in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 19 No, we can't.
Speaker 28 Anticipating that.
Speaker 19
We know where it's going. Fade it down.
I can't do that.
Speaker 19 I can't do that. What do you know about that?
Speaker 20 I'm going to say this, by the the way, but I was told that that was a seven-minute clip.
Speaker 19 I can't do it.
Speaker 19 You know
Speaker 16
what he looks like when he's talking right there. He looks like you talking about the canes the other day.
Zero eye contact with anybody.
Speaker 16 But the head is moving so much.
Speaker 23 It's tough.
Speaker 21 As someone that also is well known across this great land as being a face of a program, Monday was tough.
Speaker 19 I'll tell you. It's a very tough show.
Speaker 17
Like, can you imagine? Can you imagine that's, because that's how he sounds. It's how he sounded from the day he got here.
Can you imagine if this,
Speaker 17 the bad team, was the first couple years that he was here, as opposed to them doing the winning? Like,
Speaker 17 how do you survive sounding like this?
Speaker 16 You don't.
Speaker 18 They teach you in law school when you are presenting to the jury or to a judge that it's okay to be silent. And people use uh and um as verbal crutches, and it's unbelievably difficult to listen to.
Speaker 18 And the coach of the Dolphins is the number one guy with the uh
Speaker 5 uh
Speaker 18 uh it's brutal.
Speaker 26 Uh, I'm curious, uh, which law school did you go to, David?
Speaker 18 I went to Yeshiva University, Cardozo, Benjamin N. Cardoza School of Law.
Speaker 16 That's not a real school. Benjamin Cardoza is a high school.
Speaker 19 American school.
Speaker 8 It's a high school in New York.
Speaker 18 It's a real law school.
Speaker 16 That's what skipped to my little wife.
Speaker 25 Thank you.
Speaker 16 Benjamin Cardoza High School, man.
Speaker 16 Shout out to the school.
Speaker 18 I budge said it's not a real law school. Is that you, Mike?
Speaker 21 Yeah, it doesn't sound like one.
Speaker 5 Okay. I don't know that fool.
Speaker 16 What movie are you reviewing for us today, David?
Speaker 18 So I went to a theater. First time I've been to a theater since
Speaker 18 COVID because I needed to see one battle after another.
Speaker 17 I mean, don't you want to support movies? You haven't been to a theater since COVID.
Speaker 18
Oh, I support movies. I spent $19.99 and I get movies when they're streaming.
I'm going to do it this weekend. I'm going to do plenty of...
That is Cardoza School of Law in New York City.
Speaker 18 And you can actually go through, for those of you not watching on the Dan Levittard YouTube channel, there are tremendously, you can look, I was even chairman of the board of this, but there are amazing rankings of things that we do, clinics, the Innocence Project with Barry Shech started there, Mike Ryan.
Speaker 18 Oh, my bad. That is where DNA is used to clear people unjustly in prison.
Speaker 21 I'm sorry, I didn't know Barry Scheck was affiliated with the project.
Speaker 19 You know about the Innocence Project?
Speaker 21 That is my mistake.
Speaker 11 Barry Scheck.
Speaker 21 Just so you know, Enron has a website.
Speaker 22 You can do crazy things
Speaker 19 these days.
Speaker 21 Yeah, there's like a fake Enron that's like a whole like, I was trying to make a point on the point that he was like,
Speaker 16 one of my favorite things. I remember in business school, they said we should have known that they were crooked because their logo was a crooked E.
Speaker 25 And like, oh, shit, it was right in front of us.
Speaker 16
It was right in front of us. No, but David, you said one battle after another.
You saw it in the theater, right?
Speaker 18 So I did go to a theater, and I was struck by two things. One, I was able to sit through two hours and 41 minutes, no phone,
Speaker 18 no eating
Speaker 18 and no talking of any kind no distraction and it's a long movie now i did purposely choose a theater that had those seats that recline that was important to me because i didn't think i could sit in a regular folding chair for two hours and 40 minutes because why
Speaker 16 and i was what theaters don't have the stadium seated everyone's got the the recliner not everybody that is not accurate there's a couple of them out there not in new york at least
Speaker 18
So, what this movie did is it got me from the first minute, the opening scene of this movie. And I think people underestimate.
You've got like three minutes in this day and age.
Speaker 18
And James Bond is one of the great examples. The opening of James Bond movies, you're done.
You're hooked. It is set right before he comes on and shoots the iBlood.
You've got yourself an actual.
Speaker 17 You're putting on the spoilers, David. All right, fine.
Speaker 18 The spoiler spoiler of the intro to a James Bond movie? No, there's no spoilers. So this is a movie that there is some obvious political parts to this movie.
Speaker 18 It is about a group of people who are trying to create havoc and they create havoc in illegal ways and they create havoc due to certain policies that they do not agree with.
Speaker 18 I am not in favor of people who are willing to sacrifice their freedom because there are better ways to accomplish what you're trying to accomplish.
Speaker 18 But Leonardo DiCaprio plays the part of someone who gets caught up in doing things that are against the law, has to go into hiding, and ends up having to take care of a child.
Speaker 18
And it is a perfectly made movie that has a chance, Amin, to give Paul Thomas Anderson an Oscar. That's how good I think it is now.
There's a lot coming out. This is the time of year.
Speaker 18 This is right now.
Speaker 18 Right. From now until the end of December, we are about to see some amazing movies in terms of Oscars getting ready for the March ceremony.
Speaker 18 However, this movie is going to be nominated for Best Picture. I believe Leonardo DiCaprio has a very good chance for another Oscar nomination and maybe even an Oscar victory.
Speaker 18 That's how good he was, but there are a lot of performances left to see.
Speaker 18 But if you can get past sort of the political side where this day and age, people can't get past it because they take a position and then close their ears and close their brain.
Speaker 18 If you can get past that, the movie itself is phenomenal.
Speaker 6 James Bond willingly inserts himself into an assassination plot involving a naive Russian beauty in order to retrieve a Soviet encryption device that was stolen by the Evil Specter organization from Russia would love.
Speaker 19 That sounds good.
Speaker 21 He inserts himself into a couple things now.
Speaker 8 Hey,
Speaker 16
James. Nothing personal with David Sampson is the show.
Thank you, David, for joining us.
Speaker 18 Thank you guys very much.
Speaker 16
Awesome. Guys, it's time for me to issue an apology for something I said on these very airwaves this week.
Earlier this week, where's my camera right here?
Speaker 16 Earlier this week, here's my camera, my one-shot, thank you.
Speaker 19 Earlier this week,
Speaker 16
earlier this week, I said some rude and disparaging remarks about a particular app that swept the nation. named Sora.
I said it was cheap and poorly done, and none of the videos ever came out good.
Speaker 16 I thought I provided multiple examples of such cheap titude. Then this morning, I discovered I was wrong because I saw something made on Sora that made me completely change my mind.
Speaker 16 All right, so you guys know about this whole Jalen Brown thing that's been happening, right? Yep. Jalen Brown runs into somebody, OG Ananobi,
Speaker 16 Keyshawn George, and like his hairline rubs off on them. Yeah.
Speaker 16 Someone made this
Speaker 16 on Sora. Oh, nice.
Speaker 19 This fall, Disney and Pixar present
Speaker 19 a story about a man who couldn't help to rub off on others.
Speaker 1 You just get paint on my face.
Speaker 21 Bro, that's all my jersey. Jaylen, my bad.
Speaker 6 Maybe it's time to accept who you really are. I don't know if I'm ready.
Speaker 19 Yo, is that a hair dye? Receding.
Speaker 15 I was wrong. I told you.
Speaker 16 You guys say Amin never admits when he's wrong.
Speaker 3 I was wrong.
Speaker 17 It happened again last night.
Speaker 16 It happened again last night. Yep.
Speaker 17 Celtics at Wizards. Got his hair all over Buddy's jersey.
Speaker 19 Hair, I mean.
Speaker 16 Well, it's not hair.
Speaker 17 It's a... He wants you to believe it's hair.
Speaker 15 Why?
Speaker 16
I don't know. But first of all, like, I just, I feel like, first of all, there are a lot of options.
I know I'm privy to some of them where it's like they don't rub off, right?
Speaker 16 It's not just the regular Beijing. There's stuff that you can put in there, and it stays, and it's waterproof.
Speaker 24 He's got that party city.
Speaker 23 He's got that party city.
Speaker 19 I don't know what's going on there. Yeah.
Speaker 16 But number two, Jalen Brown, you had a whole summer.
Speaker 3 Go to Turkey, go to Colombia, hell.
Speaker 16 They do it here, albeit way more expensive.
Speaker 20 You got the money?
Speaker 17 You got the money, you can make that junk happen, man.
Speaker 20 Sounds you're bald.
Speaker 19 You're bald.
Speaker 16 Have you ever thought about that? A little turkey trip?
Speaker 14 No.
Speaker 16 What if someone said, I'm a generous benefactor?
Speaker 21 Hold on, yeah, you did radio for quite some time.
Speaker 23 I'm sure you got some proposals.
Speaker 17 Oh, well, I mean, yeah, no, I did stuff one time. I didn't have anything involved with turkey, all right?
Speaker 23 What was the thing that you did?
Speaker 17 Yeah, yeah. What was it called?
Speaker 16 What was it like a temporary?
Speaker 16 Yeah, so
Speaker 17 you rub the shaving cream, you know? You rub the cream on your head. It didn't work.
Speaker 16 Well, that's what I'm saying, Zaz.
Speaker 21 What was your promo code?
Speaker 20 Zaz. Probably Zaz.
Speaker 13 Yeah.
Speaker 21 I went to Miami Subscribe one time and I said, Zazzlo sent me.
Speaker 17 Oh, yeah. I used to have a good Buffalo chicken sandwich.
Speaker 8 That's a great thing.
Speaker 17 Look at that right there. Zazzlo's Buffalo Chicken Philly.
Speaker 6 $5.29. What a deal.
Speaker 19 Yeah, that'd be $20 today.
Speaker 15 Inflation. Tariff.
Speaker 5 It's not our fault.
Speaker 10 How about that?
Speaker 17 Look at that sandwich right there.
Speaker 17 During the photo shoot there, I mean...
Speaker 16 Is that a soda, by the way?
Speaker 17
I don't know. I didn't drink because I don't drink soda.
But during the photo shoot,
Speaker 17 you know, we're coming up with all different kinds of ways for me to, you know, pose whatever. They wanted me to hold the sub up like this.
Speaker 19 You're like, I'm not doing that. We're not doing that.
Speaker 23 We knew that Sora would exist one day.
Speaker 22 Dangerous game.
Speaker 21 Look at you. Fresh-faced, not yet broken by Len Weiner.
Speaker 16 Or mornings.
Speaker 19 No,
Speaker 17 I was doing mornings at the time.
Speaker 16 Zaz. again, generous benefactor comes down and says, Jonathan Zaslow, I would like to fund your hair restoration process.
Speaker 19 Would you do that?
Speaker 21 If someone promised you, like...
Speaker 15 Like, is it a cream or I'm doing one of the old radio?
Speaker 21 We have this new partner. DraftKings comes up to you.
Speaker 22 We have this new partner here.
Speaker 16 My name is the DraftKings.
Speaker 23 It's hair restoration.
Speaker 21 They'll fly you to Turkey.
Speaker 16 We'll fly you first class.
Speaker 7 Whole new skull.
Speaker 16 Five-star hotel. The best dining you've ever had.
Speaker 13 I'll be honest with you. No soda.
Speaker 20 I'm totally cool with with how i look like i'm totally cool with yeah you look great yeah but what if you had hair if you had hair yeah but but you know what then i got to explain to everybody like everybody would be laughing oh you did an operation like come on no one's laughing at that no dude no one's laughing at these operations they're just like oh he did it like everyone's excited the code is just be honest with it yeah now landon donovan looks ridiculous
Speaker 21 his didn't work I mean, have you seen the most recent one?
Speaker 16 Well, yeah, he's like, now he's like, should I shave it?
Speaker 19 He's just a system now.
Speaker 16 He did a whole like Instagram series on like I think I should shape should I come home and stuff and all these people Charlie Charlie Davies and all these guys like come on with it.
Speaker 20 Let's go
Speaker 21 People have been open and honest about it. Joe Buck has been honest about it
Speaker 21 and I mean I think his hair looks better now than it did before and no one's like that guy got hair transplanted.
Speaker 19 No, but like I can try to be cute with it.
Speaker 17 No, but I can't just all of a sudden have a head of hair.
Speaker 20 Yes, you can. Hold on, Mike, I'm gonna put there's a line.
Speaker 16
There's a dividing line. There's the befores and the afters.
Joe Buck and these guys all did like the old technology that would be. Oh, now it's way better.
Now it's way better.
Speaker 16 You look at like what, Matthew McConaughey or Ryan Reynolds?
Speaker 23 He still says that he hasn't gotten a hair transplant.
Speaker 15 Ryan Reynolds?
Speaker 21 Ryan Reynolds hasn't come out and said that, but he definitely got one.
Speaker 19 What's a guy from Kingsman?
Speaker 11 What's his name?
Speaker 15 Oh, my God.
Speaker 17 Terren Egerton. Yeah.
Speaker 19 You know what about that Terren Egerton?
Speaker 17 Yeah, I like Kingsman. You watch Kingsman and nothing? Yeah, those movies are good.
Speaker 4 I mean, it's based on the old derivative of James Bond.
Speaker 17 So you're telling me I don't need to see Bond?
Speaker 7 Did you watch Austin Powers?
Speaker 24 Did you watch Austin Powers?
Speaker 23 Yes.
Speaker 7 Did you get the jokes?
Speaker 17 Did you get the story? I'm realizing now that I probably didn't get all the jokes.
Speaker 16 Oh, look at Landon Donovan.
Speaker 21 As long as you're honest, with the rare exception of Landon Donovan, as long as you're open and honest and upfront with the people on social media, I'm not trying to pull one over on you.
Speaker 16 He's honest.
Speaker 19 I'm not trying to get one.
Speaker 21 Yeah, but that one just looks especially ridiculous because we've just known him for so long.
Speaker 19 He's first on the scene in 02.
Speaker 16
I don't support this. I'm going to say this right now.
Well, what don't you support about this? So what he did is because
Speaker 16 he tried implants, the implants didn't work.
Speaker 16 So he's doing the hair system, which is basically, you see on the left, he's got the fine bomb, they shave it down, they put glue on the top of his head, and then they take someone else's hair and they stick it on top, and then they style it.
Speaker 19 Isn't that just a piece?
Speaker 16 Yeah, but it's glued to the top of your head.
Speaker 15 Yeah, we call it. Oh, it's one of those
Speaker 15 systems.
Speaker 21 Be up front if you have a system. Like, no one, you're not trying to get one over on folks.
Speaker 21 That's where you get made fun of.
Speaker 19 I definitely would not do that.
Speaker 23 That's where you're like Bill's self.
Speaker 21 That's where you're like, I don't know why I'm afraid to say Ravi does it, but yeah,
Speaker 19 don't do it.
Speaker 21 There was one moment, there was a video where like he had to duck because a foul ball was coming at him. I'm like, this would have been the funniest way to find out.
Speaker 20 The hair was still up here, but he was down.
Speaker 16 So Jonathan Zaslow, you will not take up my...
Speaker 14 Generous offer.
Speaker 17 Do I have to go to Turkey?
Speaker 16 We will fly you first class.
Speaker 19 That's why they say go to Turkey.
Speaker 16 First class international is not not like them chairs you.
Speaker 17 Emirates?
Speaker 16 I'd like to fly Emirates. Yes, a little apartment.
Speaker 17 I've never flown Emirates before. I'd like to fly.
Speaker 21 Well, it's fly-fly Emirates.
Speaker 17 I'd like to fly, Fly Emirates. I'd also like to fly Virgin, but...
Speaker 16 I haven't done that in a while.
Speaker 5 Hell.
Speaker 21 You get perks there.
Speaker 11 Not with your algo.
Speaker 16 I have a good algo.
Speaker 22 You were playing GoldenEye, you liar.
Speaker 15 Yeah, go on. What was that?
Speaker 7 Have you seen Mission Impossible at least?
Speaker 1 I told you what I was doing.
Speaker 17 Yes, I've seen all the Mission Impossible.
Speaker 8 All of them. I don't know.
Speaker 17 I told you. I like the one where Henry Cavill does the thing with his arm.
Speaker 5 You didn't even know that was
Speaker 5 a fallout.
