Someone give me the kind of information that St Gotts would be getting from Emma and Rachel
Starting point is 00:01:45 when he doesn't know how to program his Sunday ticket. When I'm going through Netflix, can you please explain to me why it is that some of the things that I am checking in on, I cannot get a trailer. Why do some things not have a trailer? I will not watch your show if you do not give me a trailer. Why do some things not have a trailer? I will not watch your show if you do not give me a trailer, no matter what word of mouth it's been given, and I don't understand
Starting point is 00:02:12 why it is that some of my things, and it's not a few, it's quite a few, don't have a trailer. I feel like I'm on the other side of this because I don't like it when the trailer just starts. I want the button where it says play trailer. I don't like it when the trailer just starts. Like I want the button where it says play trailer. I don't like it when I scroll past something and I'm thinking if I wanna watch it. And all of a sudden the trailer's in my face. And then there's a bunch of words in the way
Starting point is 00:02:32 you can't really see what's going on. Then there's other ones that you click trailer and it's just like a random scene in the middle of a movie that starts playing. Enough of Netflix by the way. We can get, we can finish your Netflix topic. But I'm over them. I'm done with them.
Starting point is 00:02:43 You guys didn't even need any help. It does happen to you, right? I've never watched a trailer. Am I the only one that doesn't watch trailers on Netflix? I don't have a choice because they just start playing. They're making you, listen, they're making you purchase it without a preview. There's nothing wrong with that. We're not purchasing it.
Starting point is 00:02:57 It's Netflix. Well, they're making you watch it without a preview because any preview could be good. You can make any show or movie look like it's going to be the best show or movie in the world. They did it with the program. It was the best preview to any movie I've ever seen and it fell flat. I don't need previews anymore. I don't. I don't need them. It seems as though more of the movies or documentaries have trailers produced for them where the TV shows will do what Chris was talking about which is just sort of automatically play a scene from somewhere in the show.
Starting point is 00:03:25 I don't like it. As a filler for a trailer, but it seems as though more of it is for movies or documentaries, not TV shows. Have you seen, like, sometimes they'll change the little, like, picture, like, the little tab or whatever, and sometimes they'll just, if there's, like, a big celebrity in it,
Starting point is 00:03:41 even if they have, like, a little tiny minor role, but they're having, like, a moment at the time, they'll just put that person as, like, the headshot of it, even if they have like a little tiny minor role, but they're having like a moment at the time, they'll just put that person as like the headshot of the picture, like, oh wow, like I wanna see what Meghan Markle did in this movie. And then you watch and like, where was Meghan Markle in this movie? I thought she was a waitress.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Netflix knows my taste in men. They will like go out of their way to put some random man that maybe will have like one scene in a show on the photo and they're like, we know she thinks he's hot. She's gonna watch this. And they're right. So many Statham things pop up on my Netflix. I have no idea what he's in.
Starting point is 00:04:12 I don't get Statham. Really, what do you get? Netflix knows I'm not interested in those movies. Billy, what are your other objections to Netflix? Well, Netflix has decided that they can decide when I wanna, where I can watch things. If I pay for a subscription for Netflix, right, and I'm paying the monthly thing,
Starting point is 00:04:28 I should be able to sign into my account wherever I am to watch it, and I should be able to use the account that I pay for. But because of the fact that people share passwords and whatever, Netflix has cracked down on this and they charge you more if different households are using it. So like, if I go over to my mother-in-law's house who does not watch Netflix,
Starting point is 00:04:44 who does not have any need for Netflix, I go to sign in so my daughter can watch something on Netflix, Aquanauts or Octanauts, whatever it's called, whatever it may be that she wants to watch, and I can't sign in. And then it starts asking me, do you wanna add this household to your account for a fee? And it's like, no, I don't.
Starting point is 00:05:00 I wanna watch what I pay for. Which is Netflix. Have you signed out though at home? Have you signed out? I think you need to sign out. No, what am I gonna sign out though at home? Have you signed out? I think you need to sign out. No, what am I gonna sign out for at my house? You can see that I'm not using it at the same time. I'm using it one place, the other place. You should be able to track of tour
Starting point is 00:05:12 and use it at the same time. And that's how you crack down. Not just that it's a different location. So then it asks me, are you on vacation? It's like, guys, come on. I'm one zip code away. You know I'm not on vacation. I'm gonna say yes. And then they still tell me, no, you're not on vacation. So what was this, a trick question? You know I'm not on vacation. I'm gonna say yes, and then they still tell me,
Starting point is 00:05:25 no you're not on vacation. So what was this, a trick question? You know I'm not on vacation? Why are you asking me this? If I'm paying, why can't I use my Netflix wherever I presently am? I'm just telling you, if you sign out of your home account, you could travel with your Netflix and watch it elsewhere.
Starting point is 00:05:40 You have to remember the password. And then you need to sign in on a remote control. Who wants to do that? I know, but I go on the road, want to watch it. I sign out at home I sign in Christophe Whittingham at whatever and that's it. I mean that's the deal. That's what you have to do Just sign out at home. I mean you're making a big deal out of nothing Billy. It's not a big deal No, it's not a big deal out of signing out. They don't let me do it I don't know when I'm gonna come back to my house
Starting point is 00:06:02 I don't know sometimes that I leave that I'm gonna end up at that house So every time I leave I'm supposed to sign out come back to my house. I don't know sometimes that I leave that I'm gonna end up at that house. Every time I leave, I'm supposed to sign out of all of my digital streaming accounts, absurdity. Billy, while we're on this topic, don't get me started on Disney Plus. I am so happy that I only had to sign up for that. We will get to that.
Starting point is 00:06:19 That story is crazy. What story? There was someone who was visiting, this is all alleged, Walt Disney Company. Well, there's this lawsuit, ongoing lawsuit. I was an employee there. I missed my free passes. If you want to send any of those my way, I'll take them.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Someone had a food allergy at a restaurant in which they were told they would not have a food allergy and unfortunately, they passed away as a result of eating something that they were allergic to. I read about this, this is the waiver, they just hide in the waivers. Yeah, there's a waiver and you were a member of Disney Plus saying that you need to settle everything,
Starting point is 00:06:54 I think through like a third party arbiter or whatever. So legally, the company is now saying, well you're not allowed to sue us because at one time you had a free trial of Disney Plus. So even though this happened to you at a park because you signed this waiver, you said you allowed to sue us because at one time you had a free trial of Disney Plus. So even though this happened to you at a park because you signed this waiver, you said you would never sue us for anything ever. So now there is a legal situation where you're wondering
Starting point is 00:07:12 if something happens to you because you now had this free preview, can you ever get justice? Is that what's factual? Because what I understood or what I read was that if you signed up for something online you're automatically agreeing to terms that then make them not liable on an assortment. Yeah it was for Disney Plus for something that ended up happening at a part completely unrelated to the Disney
Starting point is 00:07:35 Plus which I think it was even a trial according to this article it said that Disney's argument was that the man had allegedly entered into a subscriber agreement when signing up for a Disney Plus trial, thanks for the pop-up ad, CNN, years ago, which requires users to arbitrate all disputes with the company. And then years later, he was at this restaurant in Disney Springs, I think, or in Disney, where it was like a restaurant. I've actually heard of, I think it's this restaurant that I've heard of, like, they, if you have like a severe food allergy, you can go and they're like very careful
Starting point is 00:08:05 about food allergies and then. Is it the T-Rex one? I don't know. That's a cool restaurant. I've never. It is cool. Very scary though because at some point, spoiler alert, there's like the meteor shower that ended the dinosaurs start happening while you're dining
Starting point is 00:08:15 and then you wonder, are we all gonna die? You don't. It's just pretend. Well, his wife died and he is seeking $50,000 in damages. $50,000? From the Florida seeking $50,000 in damages. $50,000? $50,000 pursuant to Florida's Wrongful Death Act as well as damages for mental pain and suffering, loss of companionship and protection,
Starting point is 00:08:33 loss of income and medical and funeral expenses. How did we get over here? I was gonna complain about Disney Plus commercials in the middle of movies, but then Billy. Oh, that's a whole nother thing. Guys, my kids have ADD, diagnosed, undiagnosed, they're children, stop putting commercials in the middle of movies, but then. Oh, that's a whole nother thing. Guys, my kids have ADD, diagnosed, undiagnosed, they're children, stop putting commercials in the middle of these things, okay?
Starting point is 00:08:49 And they make the commercials look like it's part of the movie, like it's this like, like, Muppets or Sesame Street commercial for something. And I'm just trying to watch Cars for my F1 podcast, and I'm hit with five commercial breaks. Yeah. Stugatz, I wanted to ask you, because the last couple of days,
Starting point is 00:09:07 we've been sort of majestically bemused by the idea that college sports have become such a professional business in ways that are not up for dispute. Did you love as much as I did? Mike Gundy, who was in the news most recently because he said, yeah, I've driven drunk thousands of times. Mike Gundy, most famous for I'm a man, I'm 40, 15 years ago. Mike Gundy is now saying at Oklahoma State, which hasn't
Starting point is 00:09:39 won a meaningful game the entire time Mike Gundy has been there. That Mike Gundy would be out loud saying, stop asking me for money kids, negotiating time is over, it is time now to focus on football, stop coming around and asking me that brazenly to give you more money, no raises from now until the end of the season. I love that. I kind of understand that.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Like after you have the agreement, like, well, we'll renegotiate when the window opens again in December. Like, let's just, you guys got your stuff. Let's play football now. No, but it never ends. There's always another school or someone else offering the kid more money. So he goes back to Gundy, more money. You can't have a system where you're paying a bunch of people a ton and there are no real
Starting point is 00:10:23 rules. Mike Gundy is the one trying to make them. system where you're paying a bunch of people a ton and there are no real rules Mike Gundy's the one trying to make that He's gonna enforce it. He's gonna take time off from watching OAN To briefly Legislate the NCAA so he can finish the third in his conference forevermore But he is great at getting off to a six and oh start and making you think this might be the year. They look great in those uniforms. To be fair, they have won several New Year's six bowl games and have had several like 10 plus win seasons.
Starting point is 00:10:54 It's that, you know, I wouldn't say he's never won anything meaningful. Name one. The Fiesta Bowl, Oklahoma. Name two. The other Fiesta Bowl. That's not one to me. He's been coaching there a long time with them totally happy yeah finished third in the conference
Starting point is 00:11:09 What the cheese it in 2020 there you go? It's crazy. He's been there since like 2005 He's making over seven million dollars will give you longevity if you win ten games there But now everyone's coming around the office coach more money It has to be jarring though. For years you're a coach, and no kid ever asks you for money. We keep that stuff hidden, we don't talk about that in public.
Starting point is 00:11:30 That's the last time I'm gonna defend Mike Gundy by the way. Yeah. I'm just moving on. You're not wrong, you are correct when you say Mike Gundy has made a program that doesn't have any preordained right to be good 10 wins a season, and also doesn't win many meaningful games that I
Starting point is 00:11:45 can remember. It may be an indictment of my ignorance. It's fine. I just am used to him playing in those games and then losing 40 to 12. Well we're on the topic of Oklahoma State. I read an interesting stat yesterday. So Ollie Gordon who's the returning running back won the Doak Walker award last year and there's only been three other running backs who have ever won it twice so this year he's going to try to win it a second time because he's returning as a junior I believe can you guys name any of the three running backs that won the Doak Walker award twice Archie Griffin no I mean one of them is fairly obvious he won the Heisman twice the Doak Walker is a running back award Reg obvious. He won the Heisman twice. The Dope Walker is a running back award.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Reggie Bush? He won the Heisman twice, that's why I said. Not Reggie Bush. Wow. Hershel Walker. No. One of them is like, we should know this one, guys. Mark Ingram?
Starting point is 00:12:38 No. Bo Jackson. No. Is this going how you thought it would go? No. Jessica, go ahead. I thought you guys were about to say fairly. Go ahead and sit outside, Jessica. Wow. Her fault? It's funny, it's just because we're dumb? Ricky Williams? This going how you thought it would go no
Starting point is 00:12:53 Friend of the show we made it for quizzing us derailing Not gonna take a quiz Like a hundred times dance PFF I'm not gonna take a quiz. Did you guys see that on Nick Wright's television show, I don't know if this is something that had happened before today. I saw Eric Mangini make his return to television. For all I know, he's been doing it for several months,
Starting point is 00:13:23 several years over there he disappeared for a while he was one of those people at ESPN that you see all the time all the time all the time and then they don't make any kind of announcement there's not any kind of farewell next thing you know Eric Mangini's over Fox. Manginius. Has he been around is this something? He's always around. He pops on with Carton every once in a while. Tim Hardaway, inexplicably. I enjoyed seeing Carton the other day with Plaxico Burris, and then I'm looking at the screen and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:13:55 hey, look, a convicted felon and also Plaxico Burris. Didn't they give Carton another job? Didn't they give him like a Yankee job now on top of that? He was a fill-in Yankee play-by-play person for a game. He did a good job, actually. I mean, he did better than me. Yeah, pretty good for a felon. Pretty good for a convicted felon.
Starting point is 00:14:13 When you look up Eric Mangini TV, his IMDB pops up, and it says he's an actor known for The Sopranos, Ballers, and the NFL on CBS. Can you guys find out for me? The Sopranos. Ballers, and the NFL on CBS. Can you guys find out for me? The Sopranos. His greatest role was head coach. Any kind of facts? Because I had not seen Mangini in a while,
Starting point is 00:14:32 and I was surprised when he turned up on my television screen. It's not something that I was expecting, and I was surprised that I found myself longing as well. Like, where you been? How did I not know to miss you? I should have missed you. I missed you.
Starting point is 00:14:45 There you are again. Turns out, Mangini won the Doke Walker Award twice. All right, you go sit with her. Oh, come on, man. Darren McAdams. You go sit with her. Got him. Got a minor penalty, two minutes for ruining comedy.
Starting point is 00:15:01 ["Darkest Night of the Year"] Eric Mangini was actually in the Sopranos. I know he wasn't making that up. I don't remember that, but I just looked at the scene. They're in a restaurant and Sopranos like, look, the Jets coached over there. No, that was a joyous time. That was a very good, limited, fake, terrible mafioso. Let me end it there, please.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Yes, I'm not gonna ask you for any more of this. But what a lightheaded time in Jets football. Mangini was called Manginius, because he was going to be better than Belichick, who resigned from the Jets on a napkin. And Mangini got there. And James Gandolfini said, you know what? I want to be popular and current.
Starting point is 00:15:40 I'm going to go get a surprisingly winning Jets coach. And that was about the three month period that man Genie wanted and it was a pop culture phenomenon to get Eric man Genie on the Sopranos. Yeah, I just want to play a little clip from this is great I'm gonna play it. It's not playing you mentioned that he's gonna throw you in the bounty box Is this Lewis's fault? This is good production I'm getting today from the whole group. All right, you know what? I'm going to break.

Starting point is 00:17:20 It's the only kind he tells. It's a short one for me. I tried to speed it up for you guys. You forgot about the leagues's Cup stugats Yeah, la carreta is a place where the best of the celebrations has to be the 97 Marlins celebration because it was Lava well when Fidel died the first time this is the down Libertar show with a stugat. It's a judge coach, sweetie I'm glad we waited for that. It was totally worth it.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Oh, man, I loved it. That was great. Totally worth it. James Gandolfini just doing a head nod over to where Eric Mangini was sitting as a cameo up here. Play that again for us, please. Oh! Fucking exit out.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Why did you exit out of it? You finally found it. I got a victory. I'm like, all right, we're good. Exit this thing out. Retire. Back to you exit out of it? You finally found it. You got a victory? I'm like, all right, we're good. Exit this thing out. Retire. Back to you, Dan. You're gonna play for overtime.
Starting point is 00:18:09 No, just get it and play it sporadically. Just say it like James Gandolfini. He won't know the difference. It's true, yours was pretty good. You're a limited thing. You're a Jets coach. There you go. Ah.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Stugats, I can make the argument that It's a judge coach, sweetie. That HBO is responsible for three of the top five television shows of all time. That one, Succession and The Wire. I would make the argument on behalf of all three of those for a personal top five. But Eric Mangini, is he the only coach is was he the only sports figure to make a cameo in the Sopranos of any kind because I don't I can't I wouldn't have guessed that one either I wouldn't have guessed that
Starting point is 00:18:56 Mangini had made an appearance there either Stugats I wanted to talk to you a little bit about something that Bill Simmons brought up on his podcast. Sarah Goosa was in it, of course. That's right, he was. Another Goose. Yes, he was. Sarah Goosa was in a movie too. He was in a mobster movie, which was he, Spike Lee movie with Ed Norton.
Starting point is 00:19:17 God, I'm forgetting the name of it, but Sarah Goosa played a Russian mobster with a terrible accent. 25th hour? Yes, 25th hour. That's awful casting, I'm sorry. I mean, he was terrible. Saragusa is a Russian?
Starting point is 00:19:31 He was truly terrible. But Bill Simmons mentioned on his podcast, you guys, that Jeff Bezos might be in play for the Celtics. Are the Celtics gonna get a football franchise number? Are they gonna get a $6 billion figure because Bezos wants into this game? And if he wants into the game, can you guys look up for me please what Bezos makes a day? Because these purchases are very easy for him. And one of the things that Simmons brought up on the finances of its dugouts that I found
Starting point is 00:20:04 most interesting, because there is going to be a six billion dollar price tag on the expansion teams according to Simmons. He makes just under forty six million dollars a day. Okay so forty six million dollars a day. One point nine million per hour. Slightly less than you. So yes that's why I'm clamoring for a million dollar bill at my local Bank of America Do you think he asked the local coffee shop to break it for him for his morning?
Starting point is 00:20:31 Caffe Cito, that's what I do. That's how I do it with my million dollar bills But the six billion dollar price tags do gots the part of that that was interesting to me the part of that that was interesting to me each of these sports owners if the league does expand each of them will get 400 million dollars each one of them the moment that the league expands for doing nothing but existing in the league there's the amount of money that these people have access to as they create separate streams now of money in not just gambling but now by signing a new television deal that will make it as Samson and Pablo and Skipper tell you on the sporting class make it so that it doesn't matter if you're
Starting point is 00:21:21 actually watching the games that the ratings don't matter at all it's such a foolproof business that it can't be killed by fools it's not it's just not possible to own a team and not make money and when I tell you Stu gots Bezos isn't gonna have to pay attention to a luxury tax isn't Balmer now uh... top five wealthiest men in the world hasn't ball i think he is a little bit of a recently gone past uh... musk and uh... bezos at least in part because he's close he may not have actually passed them but at least in part because he's got such an amazing uh... deal with
Starting point is 00:22:02 his stadium and everything else the moment that he got into sports He started making yet more money by simply Making it so that the Clippers weren't a laughing stock even though they're playing second place in their own city He is number 10 according to Forbes real-time billionaires update list just behind Bill Gates Isn't there a missing billionaire now? Don't we have a missing billionaire of some sort? I don't know the details on this missing on the story I think a boat sank off the coast of Italy or something and a billionaire was on it I'll look into this sounds like an inside job hmm what do you mean you think somebody
Starting point is 00:22:36 billionaire boat missing I mean what happened there something's No, he just wanted to say. Something's afoot. This is, this is, look. Something's off, yep. Something's afoot. What do you mean? I don't know. Did I use that right? Sounds like an inside job. What? What?
Starting point is 00:22:52 Stugats. Mike Lynch, billionaire tech entrepreneur missing after sailing yacht disappears. And apparently he's also been in the news a lot because he sold his company to HP for more than $11 billion and there were like lots of ongoing legal disputes after that. Oh, Stugats might be right.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Stugats might be right here. Apologize. Sounds like an inside job suggests that this guy sank his own boat. You said it, not Stugats. You wanna believe it. Can't rule anything out. Naive.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Stugats thinks that everything's a movie trailer. An inside job. He just wants somebody to utter the sentence in a movie trailer. Sounds like an inside job. It's something that you might hear in The Sopranos if Mangini is sitting at a nearby table and you need the sound of cutlery for your ambient sound. It's the Judge Coach, sweetie. How'd you go say hello?
Starting point is 00:23:45 Come on, Larry. I feel like if I was a billionaire and I faked my own death, I've had a hard time reacclimating to society, right? Because if I was a billionaire and I had a yacht that I sank intentionally, I'm not going and buying a dinghy. I'm gonna go buy another yacht.
Starting point is 00:24:02 And then people say, well, who bought that yacht? Oh, the billionaire that's missing So do you think it's an inside job in terms of the billionaire trying to fake his own death or do we think that this Is someone that was signed up for a potential inheritance? Jeremy don't ask follow-up questions to God she just wanted to say sounds like an inside job supporting my teammates, Dan oh which part of this are you not understanding, Stugatsi? I have no idea, mother. His wife survived.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Oh, inside job. Sounds like an inside job. Those didn't, though. Jeremy, I will tell you that as we age, okay, there isn't another show that is presently doing what we're doing, which is two straight hours with about six minutes of break. By the time that we get to the end of those two hours,
Starting point is 00:24:49 Stugats's stamina is so shot that he just says out of the side of his mouth, sounds like an inside job and he heard like six of the syllables in the previous paragraph, because it's all just moving too fast. Yeah, I heard billionaire, ship sinking, he's missing, inside job. That's it. I mean, we've seen how many times
Starting point is 00:25:06 born goes down and all of a sudden there's someone waiting with one of those like little jetpack things underwater and you give them one of those little oxygen tanks all of a sudden they're looking in that crap river over there in London or wherever was people getting sick. You're looking there's like helicopters this and that and then his head pops up about a mile down river and he's out of them. Boom. He's a different person somewhere else.
Starting point is 00:25:25 It happens all the time. The crap river was in Paris, but there's also a crap river in London, so we'll let it slide. Billionaires just don't go missing, Dan. They always have a plan. If a billionaire goes missing, it's because he wants you to think that he's missing.
Starting point is 00:25:38 That is a good theory. Is it? All eyes are usually on billionaires. It's hard for them to just go missing. How did this happen? Well, apparently there was some severe weather accident. That's when you take it out. So this is like a super yacht,
Starting point is 00:25:56 so there's a huge crew on board. And so one person has been declared dead, I believe. There's a bunch of people missing, including him, and I think his daughter, but some people were able to survive on a smaller life vessel that they were able to escape from while this super yacht was sinking. But for a yacht that is that size to sink,
Starting point is 00:26:16 that must have been just a crazy storm. I don't really understand the logistics of that. Right. Inside Job. Are we still making the Bourne movies? Yes. We can't still be making the Bourne movies. No, we're not still making, are we?
Starting point is 00:26:29 I think there's a new one that's about to come out. There is? No, still got some. Look it up. So Jeremy Renner, well first of all, Jeremy Renner had a bad accident, so he wouldn't be able to play Bourne. I don't think he's fully recovered from that accident.
Starting point is 00:26:41 And I think I told you like the last time that I had talked to Matt Damon in any form, he said that the last Bourne that he did was just him running around and they were writing the script as they filmed him just running around. He wasn't just running around, he was cashing checks. Yeah, well he was doing that, but he was just running from bank to bank
Starting point is 00:26:57 trying to cash million dollar bills because they didn't have a script written around him and so he just stopped doing it. I was obsessed with the Bourne movies when I was younger. Oh my god, they used to be on TV all the time. But are we still doing that? I thought it was done. I thought, when was the last time there was a Bourne movie
Starting point is 00:27:13 of any kind? Eight years ago? When news broke last November that Universal Pictures was developing a sixth Bourne movie with all quiet on the Western front director, Edward Berger, fans were left wondering if Matt Damon would be returning to the iconic series. He says, I hope it's great and that we can do it. I just saw on Apple Matt Damon snuck an Instigator's movie
Starting point is 00:27:36 in there. There's a whole movie. Is that good? No, it's not good. I heard it was good. No, it's not. Is it funny? It must be cute and funny.
Starting point is 00:27:44 I heard it was good. No, it's just Matt Damon rehabbing Casey Affleck. I heard Eric Mangini was in that one too. Gronk is in it. Gronk is in it. He just threw Gronk in for no reason. It's a judge's call, sweetie. Judge goes, say hello. Hey folks, it's Mike Ryan.
Starting point is 00:28:00 And as you know, our show has changed a lot over the years. You guys knew me when I was 19 years old. I'm now a family man, 38 years old. Man, I've been in this industry for a long time. Grateful to be a part of this show and grateful for one of our long-time partners over in Miller Lite. It's the one thing that hasn't changed
Starting point is 00:28:17 over the course of this 20-year run, the great taste of Miller Lite. Another thing that hasn't changed is that it's less filling. Why don't you tell me right now? I'll take an opportunity to lay off for a brief moment to listen to you and tell me what your favorite thing is about the original light beer. Go ahead. Wow. A lot of you spoke at the exact same time. I actually couldn't make out any of it. Whatever it is that you said your favorite
Starting point is 00:28:34 thing about Miller Light was, don't worry. This debate was sparked in 1975 and they still haven't settled it. You don't have to choose what's best. Miller Light has great taste and is less filling. Taste like Miller time. To get Miller Lite delivered right to your door, visit MillerLite.com slash Dan.

Starting point is 00:28:59 Don LeBretard. The elephant went into a 7-Eleven and bought a pack of cigarettes. But my question to Ron is this? Stugats! That joke didn't really land the way you wanted it to, did it? We all just stared at you. This is the Don LeBattar Show with the Stugats! I'm still curious what Billy got for his wife at Home Depot for their, what was it, five-year anniversary? Yeah, well, that's a whole nother thing.
Starting point is 00:29:26 That's a conversation for another day. What do you mean? I wanna have that conversation today. Well, it does imply though, you said that it's cause this year is wood themed, like are you building something? Are you constructing something with wood? Two by fours.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Well, first we'll address the first thing that was for another day, we'll just make today the day. Okay. When you get married, your years reset, I feel like I should get time spent, you know what I mean? In the relationship, I should have. How long did you guys date before you got married? By a long time, like eight, nine years,
Starting point is 00:29:55 something like that. So this would be like your 14th or 15th anniversary, which is crystal, apparently. Okay, well then, let's go back to wood. We're fine with wood, let's reset at five. Do you guys acknowledge your pre-marriage anniversary? No. I don't either.
Starting point is 00:30:10 We stopped, we just focused on one now. Yeah, then people say like how long you've been married. It's like five, but you don't understand how much work I put in beforehand. So you change your anniversary date, like once you get engaged? No, once you get married. Once you're married, yes.
Starting point is 00:30:23 But I know people that celebrate their engagement. That goes away. That's if it goes for longer than a year. That goes away. How long have these people been together? That goes away. Some people, I don't know. Not that you fall out of love.
Starting point is 00:30:33 They're just looking for things to celebrate. Exactly. That's very possible. It is nice to celebrate your first. No, it's not. No. Please, it's annoying. It was my first wedding anniversary this past weekend.
Starting point is 00:30:42 And I have the same frustration that you do, because we dated for 10 years before we got married. And so now it's like celebrating our first anniversary feels just kind of dumb, because we've been together for almost 11 full years. Wait until you get to 20. You look like someone that celebrates multiple anniversaries, though.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Yeah, I mean, I do. And like cry in your vows and like Jeremy loves love. Yeah, what? Yeah, I love my wife and I love love. Yeah, it's nice. You get ripped around here for a Yeah, but I don't think what I'm saying is I don't think Jeremy's gonna grow out of that. What'd you figure out in the ninth or tenth year
Starting point is 00:31:15 that you didn't figure out in the first eight? When to get married. It's a good question I guess. Same with you, Millie. With me? I mean, I'm an AM radio producer. It wasn't exactly, on the table every night. Weddings don't fall out of the sky for freestyards.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Called saving for a wedding. Apparently the first anniversary gift is paper. That one, yeah. So you give them a card? You don't do that. Money. Not on the first anniversary. Money.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Paper should be like seven or eight. Once you get to seven or eight, it's like paper's fine. I did a cute thing for that one too. I'm just good at all these. No, I'm actually not. That one I did, I printed out our wedding song, like our first dance song. I printed on a paper, like the music to it.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Love that. Really? What was your first dance song? It was Crazy Girl by Eli Young Band. Did you order it, like a print? Crazy girl, know that I love you. I gotta look it up. I don't remember the actual name. I've never heard that song. You heard it, I print crazy girl know that I love you. I gotta look it up I don't know that song if you're sure that I just did a terrible wait, so which anniversary did you do that for you?
Starting point is 00:32:10 I haven't first anniversary paper. Oh the first okay this website by the way. This is like the traditional anniversary gifts by year thing like I feel like by now the audience probably knows what we're referring to but this website has by now the audience probably knows what we're referring to, but this website has the year and then it has a traditional, a modern and a metal or gemstone that corresponds with every anniversary. It feels like a little. It's a nice little cheat sheet. It's a lot.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Hmm. Baby why you wanna cry? You really oughta know that I. Yeah, he did it for under six seconds. So we're good. We do it all the time. Yeah, we're fine. Yeah, I don't think I heard that.
Starting point is 00:32:45 The person's being walked to jail or they're in a hospital. What's happening in this video? They're in an insane asylum. This was your first dance? The whole thing is like, the song, the lyrics are like, crazy girl, you know that I love you.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Well, this person's in an insane asylum. Actually, I don't wanna call anyone crazy, but. Everyone deserves love. That's true. Just seems like an odd first dance. I'm an electric chair? You guys ever been to a wedding where the DJ played the wrong song for the first time?
Starting point is 00:33:13 You know that happens. I have. I have too. You had one job. I think they played the song that was supposed to be for the mother son dance. Oh, that's awkward. Yeah, super awkward.
Starting point is 00:33:24 And then it was for, or maybe it was the opposite way where they played the very romantic song for the mother andson dance. Oh, that's awkward. Yeah, super awkward. What was it? Or maybe it was the opposite way, where they played the very romantic song for the mother and son later on. It was incredibly uncomfortable. And very Oedipal moment. Yeah, just truly, truly awkward. I was at one where they played the wrong version
Starting point is 00:33:36 of the song, and it was like a remix, and it was really fast. Oh, no. So they were dancing really fast. Oh, that's awkward. Well, so I was at Home Depot, because I bought a planter, because it was wood for five years. I bought a planter, I bought a bunch of plants
Starting point is 00:33:48 and I thought it'd be a nice little thing for my wife. My daughter can have beautiful. Are you a plant daddy? I dabble, I have a watering can. I'm a plant daddy. We should send pictures of our plants to each other. Maybe, can I propagate one of yours and you propagate one of mine?
Starting point is 00:34:03 I have to ask my wife. That's fine. Let me know what she says. I'll ask Lehman. Ron McGill is with us. He does not waste an anniversary. This is the most romantic guy I've ever met. Ron, the best anniversary gift you have ever given your wife is blank.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Hell yeah. Taking her to Italy or just an incredible time in Venice, going up and down the Amalfi coast, an incredible room with its own Jacuzzi, having a very private gondola going through Venice, candlelit dinner on the beach of Lake Cuomo. It was pretty epic, I gotta admit, it was pretty epic. That was one anniversary?
Starting point is 00:34:47 That was one anniversary. I've done another one. I did one where I took her to Africa for our 25th anniversary, and we had an incredibly romantic dinner out in the Maasai Mara, surrounded by all kinds of wonderful animals walking around and a private chef
Starting point is 00:35:01 who made this beautiful private cake made out of, they do this thing with sugar where they make all kinds of sculptures of the animals with the sugar and stuff and it was just, you know, her and I out there, a candlelight dinner and beautiful, it was just gorgeous. And 25 of the zoo's biggest donors. Yeah. What? What now?
Starting point is 00:35:17 I gotta say, Ron's figured out this vacation thing where he gets these extravagant vacations. I saw one the other day, Ron, that you had out there after Dan's Africa trip that you guys had, all the people calling. It was like, go to the Galapagos with Ron McGill. Yeah, that's December 9th. Wow. Oh no, I put it on the calendar. We assumed Dan will be in the Galapagos with you. No, I don't think Dan's going on that one.
Starting point is 00:35:38 But it's gonna be an incredible trip. I mean, I've been to the Galapagos several times and it's really another world. It's like a place lost in time. It's islands lost in time where animals have no fear of you. You know, when you walk up, you go swimming in the water there, and sea lions come right up to your face, and they blow bubbles in your face.
Starting point is 00:35:52 It's hilarious. Where's the place you most like to visit, Ron? The place I most like to visit is Botswana, Africa. That's my favorite destination in the world. The place I have not visited that I have to visit that I hope to visit now, coming in April or June, will be Australia. Is there a place that you were excited to visit you got there and it fell flat? Not really. I mean, Italy was really nice, don't get me wrong, but my wife is really big into art and you know I like art but she's really big into going to all
Starting point is 00:36:26 the different churches and seeing the different arts and the sculptures and the churches and after a while I was a bit churched out. No nothing against religion or anything it's just after a while going to all these churches and seeing all these sculptures and all these paintings and you know another thing I was disappointed like when we went to the Vatican you know I went into the Sistine Chapel and you see that incredible painting Michelang Vatican, I went into the Sistine Chapel. I mean, you see that incredible painting, Michelangelo on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, but they say, no pictures, no pictures. And I don't understand why you can't take any pictures
Starting point is 00:36:50 if you're not using a flash. There's nothing, when you take a photograph, my camera makes no sound with the shutter or anything. I'm not using a flash. The reason why they don't want you to take pictures is they follow you out into the gift shop and then they sell you all these pictures for this tremendous amount of money.
Starting point is 00:37:03 And I'm thinking to myself, you know what? No, that's not happening. So I was, my wife was very, very nervous because I would just take my camera blind and I took all these great pictures like I wasn't looking through the camera. I kept it to my side and I just walked in through. I did that too.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Ron, I did it with my phone when I was in there. I was like, I'm not missing this. Exactly, I mean, they're classic. Because you know what? That's just ridiculous that here you are in a supposedly religious place that you know all this great stuff that God is supposed to do is we appreciate this stuff
Starting point is 00:37:28 and you can't take any photographs. The only reason is because they want you to spend more money when you go out to the gift shop and they got like, you know, place mats with the Pope on them and spoons with the Pope's head on it. Come on, stop. You should do that at Zoo Miami. Seriously, no pictures.
Starting point is 00:37:41 You have to buy them. Capitalism. Zoo Miami, we want you to come here and take all the pictures that you can. All right. It's a camera flash thing, though, isn't it? Isn't the camera flash? It is.
Starting point is 00:37:50 And I understand that. Yes, flash can degrade. There you go. I'm proud of you, Chris. I'm proud of you. Jesus. You know, flash can certainly degrade the paint. So you don't want to take any flash.
Starting point is 00:38:02 And even I can understand the clicks of your cameras. If someone's in there going, look at this. True. It's disturbing to people who't want to take any flash and even I can understand the clicks of your you know cameras if your camera if someone's in there going true it's disturbing to people who might want to see but if you're totally silent you're not making any noise any light stop it already stop it stop this cash cow drive but you're trying to make me buy your your crappy little stuff in the gift shop well some tourists too like they aren't really the most careful like I was at a museum once with my grandpa and he almost knocked over a Monet so I understand
Starting point is 00:38:29 Do with taking a photograph of a Monet that's nothing taking a photograph you can stand back and take the photograph and not do anything Adding a camera to the mix would have just made it worse But what are you doing with like Chris what when have you looked at those photos? I haven't since you did it just because they told you you can't. Zagacki. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha As you guys know, I've never had an alcoholic drink in my life, so that kind of evening circuit of bar hopping is not a big thing for me. I've been down there a couple of times for Fantasy Fest because I just love watching decadence and watching how alcohol makes people really look stupid. So Key West, I think some of the other keys actually offer much more beautiful opportunities
Starting point is 00:39:20 when it comes to the diving and the snorkeling and stuff. I will say this about Key West. The cemetery in Key West is really cool and of course Hemingway's house. I was going to ask you the polydactyl cats. Can you explain how that happens? Yeah, it's a product of inbreeding. It's these cats that basically have a gene that creates that extra finger, the six-toed cats, and because that kind of that population has been's been kept captive in that area there, they just kept inbreeding with each other, so that gene keeps getting passed on,
Starting point is 00:39:50 so you've got basically these deformed cats that are not a reflection of good, healthy cats, but a reflection of inbreeding. Why are you heckling Hemingway's house? What's the matter with you? Overrated. Last thing I wanna do there, I'd rather be at Hogg's Breath.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Yeah, there's the catch. Listen, the house is interesting, man. There's some cool stuff in the house. And when you think back in the time when Key West was really Key West, now it's become really more of a tourist thing. Mallory Square is fine, but it's one of those things
Starting point is 00:40:18 where I've been there, done that. It's the same guy doing the juggling, watching the sunset. It's nice, but it's really very touristy. I prefer other parts of the Keys that are not as touristy. I mean, Marathon sunset. It's nice, but it's really very touristy. I prefer other parts of the Keys that are not as touristy. I mean Marathon, Isla Morada, they have some great restaurants, some great snorkeling, great people without getting into all the touristy stuff. You know, it's the same thing like the Vatican going to the gift shop. I'll make sure that the charity event that Roy and I are going to move it to Isla Morada next year. Yeah, or the Galapagos, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Ron, have you RSVP to Greg Cody's birthday yet? Have you been invited and have you RSVP? I have been invited. I probably have not RSVP because I've been slammed with all kinds of things going to work here, but I am going. I wouldn't miss that for the world. So I will be there.
Starting point is 00:41:03 I just, there's something about watching Greg Cody after he's had a few drinks that is just entertainment worth an admission fee. An aging Greg Cody getting drunk, yes. I feel like you're not. He's entertaining. I feel like you're not going though. No, Stu gots it.
Starting point is 00:41:20 Are you going? I RSVP plus one, so I'll be there, I think. Okay, I'll be there plus one myself So I'll be there. I think. Okay. I'll be there plus one myself. I'll be there plus one myself. I like to RSVP early that gives me plenty of time to think of an excuse to get out of it. You know what I'm saying? Well, it's on a boat, right? So we're trapped on a boat. You can't back out once you get on. Correct. It's on a boat. But you can't be making an early exit, brother. Ron, he invited more people than the boat holds though. That's... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha If you're like me, you're constantly thinking about the safety of the people and things you value most.
