Starting point is 00:00:55 That's dairy farming forward. This is the Dan Leventor Show with the StuGuts Podcast. There's this new thing happening. I'm not sure if you guys have seen this happen live or not, but apparently people are going into Chipotle with their cameras rolling, taking videos of the Chipotle employees putting food in their burrito bowls to try to coax them into giving them a little bit extra meat, a little bit extra rice, bigger portions as a way of like shaming them, I guess. And recently I've seen the CEO of Chipotle now come out and give a little hint as to how you can get bigger portions at Chipotle without shaming the employees.
Starting point is 00:01:44 And I have a hard time believing that this is real. First, I can tell you the portions have not gotten smaller. One of the things I think is great about Chipotle is if you come into the restaurant and you want a little more rice or you want a little more pickle, all you gotta do is kind of like, and usually our guys and women give them a little more scoop.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Was he real? He gave like a face and a nod. Is that a wake? Is that a nod, is that real? I don't think that's real. Go to the one by my house, it's not real. I don't know, you don't give him a nod, he gives me more chicken, he doesn't know that. The theory was is that if you film them,
Starting point is 00:02:15 they're afraid to get bad publicity for not giving you large enough portions, so if you have your camera on, they give you extra, so that you don't publish a video criticizing them, saying they're not giving you enough food. I understand that, but he's also saying just go in there, a little look, a little nod, a little, yeah. I do think the look works. Oh, the nod works.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Really? The nod works. What? Just there? I'm telling you, I get the chicken burrito. You think this is in the employee handbook? They put a little chicken in there. All it takes is just a little, meh.
Starting point is 00:02:39 They're saying, you get the employee handbook is funny. The customer gives you a nod. Give him a little... It's part of training. You got two dudes in here that have lived it. I've had that experience. When they put whatever on mine, I'd be like, but hell no.
Starting point is 00:02:56 I'd be like, okay. I gotta be loud about mine. It is crazy. It's always been crazy to me how they're so with the meat, they're like, every piece counts. But with guac, they will put so much guac. You know they throw away a ton of guac at the end of the day, because it goes bad really quickly
Starting point is 00:03:12 that they're like, ah, we'll just slap this guac on. They will put a cup full of sour cream on my burrito. But a little extra chicken, no, that's too far. The way that I've experienced a lot of these videos though is I never actually see the point of view from the person filming. I always see a video show up on my timeline of some dude filming, but he's being filmed by someone else.
Starting point is 00:03:31 You see the video of the video. Yeah, like these influencers that have been doing this a lot, they go in essentially with a recording team. Like, hey, I'm gonna go up there and do this thing. Make sure you document me so people know that it's me because if I'm holding the camera, people don't know that it's me because if I'm holding the camera, people don't know that it's me and I need to get my shine in.
Starting point is 00:03:47 There has only been one time that I actually tried to manipulate the order. And it's not the quantity of food, it's the time that I get it. And it's led to some awkward exchanges so I just don't do it anymore. But I know in drive-thrus they time people. And occasionally the people work in the drive-thrus window
Starting point is 00:04:08 will say, hey, can you pull out in front? This is, yeah, the reason why they do this is because they get penalized if the clock runs down on them. So it's a way to manipulate the clock. You cease being the priority if you agree to move forward. And then oftentimes, every time I've done that and made that concession, what ends up happening is I'm sitting there for a long time
Starting point is 00:04:27 and I get handed lukewarm food. You walk into, you have to, even, I've walked in before, like after 15 minutes, like, did you forget? So I've done a handful of times. You're saying the employees are on the clock, they're shooing you off to a parking spot in front of the restaurant because of them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:41 They're not trying to do anything for you. Right. They're doing it to improve their time. When I go through a drive-through, hand me my food through a window, please. Well, that's what they do, except Chris, if he gets upset, walks in and he says, hey. No, after like 15 minutes of like, pull around,
Starting point is 00:04:56 he'll bring it out to you. His visual is amazing. Yeah, I walk in like, hi. I wanna see that. I want a TikToker to film that. When they ask you to do that, they're trying to take advantage of the situation. And so like sometimes my response has been like, hey, I'm sorry, I know that.
Starting point is 00:05:08 And some people have been cool about it, and some people have gotten really mad by it. I've just stopped doing it, and I just deal with, okay, I'm just going to get colder food now. And it always happens. You get nothing for agreeing to move up, except you make their lives easier. Yeah, well, it's also possible you've ordered something that's not ready, and the other orders are now stacking up because yours isn't ready They know is gonna take seven minutes
Starting point is 00:05:29 I understand but the notion and concept of fast food is that it's supposed to well I think Chipotle also the appeal is that there's some hot and there's some cold and if the hot and the cold Meld together before you get the chance to eat it. It's all one time Oh, and it's impossible to microwave chicken and rice without exactly you a chicken and rice without, exactly, you can't microwave it because if you get some sour cream or some guac, some smetana on it, you can't microwave that. It's nasty. Interesting. So you're telling me if I walk into my local Chipotle today and I give a little nod for more chicken, you're telling me I'm going to get it?
Starting point is 00:06:02 Yeah, you can essentially ask, hey, could I get a little bit more? You know what, Billy, we'll get a little bit more? You don't even have to finish the sentence. I'll be like, yeah, sure. Billy, we'll get back to that in a second. I want our listeners, if you go to, well, actually, you know what? This is playing right into Chipotle's hands. This is bad press.
Starting point is 00:06:13 This is now coming back around. This is great for them. But if you go to Chipotle today, which I'm sure Tony will or someone will, do a nod. Don't film them, because that's mean. Don't harass the workers, all right? They don't get paid very much.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Be nice to the workers. But give him a nod see if you get double meat I'll sell give him a if it go back around and then come back and order something else and give him a but hell No, and see how much you get compared to the first play the message from their CEO and be like he told me You know, he put everyone in a bad spot the CEO Can we play that video again? I want you to pay attention to the look that he gives. This nod is such a, if you're listening to this, you won't be able to see it,
Starting point is 00:06:51 but he gives a little, huh, yeah. And pay attention to his dead eyes. First, I can tell you, the portions have not gotten smaller. One of the things I think is great about Chipotle is if you come into the restaurant and you want a little more rice or you want a little more pico, all you gotta do is like and usually our guys and women give them a little that is the look that is the look Yes, he'll put all his employees in a bad spot. You make a noise, but you don't say a word, right?
Starting point is 00:07:16 Just like Slight nod to the left look that the guy in the fire festival documentary gave that in that one clip It's like a, huh. Kick, Saving, the Butte and Anne Women also. Yeah, guys and women. But that's irresponsible. I don't know why I'm stuck on this, but I am. Yeah, what is your concern with this?
Starting point is 00:07:34 Because he can't do that. Why? Because people are gonna walk in and they're gonna do this, little nod. And the workers are gonna be like, what the fuck? They're gonna expect more chicken or steak or something and they're not gonna get it. Well then, in your back pocket, almost quite literally,
Starting point is 00:07:46 you just whip out the phone. Whip out the phone. That's your proof. Yeah, like, I didn't wanna choose this method, but here we are. I didn't wanna resort to this. Yeah, all right. First of all, the portions have gotten smaller, by the way.
Starting point is 00:07:57 That's why this whole thing started, was because people started filming it to shame Chipotle. Post it online and be like, look, shame on you. You only give me like four tiny pieces of chicken now and they'll slap on that sour cream, but I want more chicken, all right? I'm not here for a mountain of sour cream. So much guac.
Starting point is 00:08:13 And lettuce. Give me more meat. Why are you fixated on the guac? What a big spoon they use to scoop that guac. I know. They fill it up. They slap it on too. They like, they slap it. Is it too much? Way too much guac. Can you nod the other way and tell them less? Can I get a little less guac I know fill it up Too much wait too much can you know the other way and tell them less can I get a little less walk?
Starting point is 00:08:28 Come on piece of chicken. It's a lot of avocados. Yeah, yeah It's a guac What? Croc. Oh, come on. Hey, Bill, you've never been to Chipotle ever? Never, no. That's crazy. It's overrated, by the way. No, it's properly rated. I don't think it is.
Starting point is 00:08:53 What about a Kadooba or a Baja Fresh? I like Baja Fresh. Baja Fresh is very good. Yeah, lime. Mo's? Mo's, I've been to. Kadooba? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:04 So Chipotle is just like that. Yeah, but back in the day, I feel like- They like to fancy themselves as not a fast food chain. But they're a fast food chain. One day I'm gonna have great grandkids and I'm gonna be like, back in 2015, Chipotle was the greatest food on earth. You'd go to Chipotle and you'd get some spicy chicken
Starting point is 00:09:22 and a mountain of guacamole and they'd give you a little extra sometimes. You didn't even have to wink at them. And then everything changed after the norovirus, and it was never the same. It did change somewhere along the way. It was like, the first time going to Chipotle, you're like, wow, how can Taco Bell deal with this?
Starting point is 00:09:40 And then you realize, oh, they have the Doritos Locos tacos. They're gonna be fine. Chipotle opened my mind to corn salsa. Yeah? Really? I was never a corn salsa guy. Really? Oh, it's my favorite thing there.
Starting point is 00:09:51 So you went there? A little extra. I give them a little nod for that sometimes. Do you? A little extra. Does it work? You act like if the people that are there creating this food are gatekeepers that refuse to give you extra.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Like, a lot of times, it's people that really don't give a crap. They're like, whatever man, here you go. I'm just saying the CEO put everyone in an impossible spot. I don't think so. Well they have the card now. The card of your boss told me to come in here and just give you a nod, I get more. Yeah, so here you go, take more.
Starting point is 00:10:16 I pull up my video and I'm like, this is your boss. I'm like, I don't even care. Statue of limitations is up. When I work at McDonald's, I will give you all the fries your eyes desire. I will pour the whole bag like five glasses I work at McDonald's, I will give you all the fries your eyes desire. I will pour the whole bag like five guys. That's what I'm saying. Customers always right, keep the customer happy, who cares?
Starting point is 00:10:31 I love that about Five Guys. Just keep it like, yeah, I ordered a fry, but I essentially ordered a bag. And you fill this bag. Essentially you could give me a funnel and just put it in my mouth and keep loading fries into it from Five Guys or wherever, McDonald's and maybe also Chipotle, but a little mix of every bite. That's why it was great because you get a little bit of everything, a little bit of
Starting point is 00:10:54 every flavor in your Chipotle. And then I read this and again, I don't know if this is true, but apparently after the whole norovirus outbreak, they stopped preparing some of their food on site, so it wasn't as fresh anymore because of health and sanitary issues. And if that's true, then I guarantee you that's where the quality went. Also, they expanded and they're everywhere now and there's just more of them,
Starting point is 00:11:16 so I think naturally the quality probably goes down when you're viewing over a thousand locations. Are we gonna deal with chicken inflation? I saw over the weekend, a tragic fire, a million chickens perished in a fire. Really? Yeah. It's like one of the largest free range farms.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Yeah. I was like a party. A million chickens. Our hearts go out to the chickens. So what are you asking here? Teas and peas, but jeez. Call some friends, there's dinner. Are you asking if chickens gonna cost more?
Starting point is 00:11:44 Well, that's the way everything's going. Are you asking if chickens gonna cost more? I said well, that's why everything's going I in these two stories together. Yeah Chicks cost more I mean that's a Delicious like the most delicious smelling tragedy ever. I mean it's an insane number It's like it's an unbelievable number like percent of the of the I feel like it's not that much Yeah, a million. Yeah, I feel like if you knew the chicken industry really yeah, that's kind of where do they? Where do you keep a million chickens in a group around Atlanta? It's like a chicken capital building the car Weird rest in power chicks yeah, why are you making it like a scene at a car?
Starting point is 00:12:20 Yeah. Why are you making it like a scene out of Comfort? I don't know. I mean, how do you say, fires are weird, man. Right. What? Let's expand on that. Put it on the bowl, or fire's weird, man. Maybe someone was just like, when it starts,
Starting point is 00:12:33 you put it out. But someone was like, ah, gonna let that, that'll go out on its own. Just throw water on it? Unless it's a grease fire, Chris, you don't wanna throw water on a grease fire. That makes it worse. True, I did think you were gonna say,
Starting point is 00:12:43 because of bird flu. I'm not sure if you guys have read about bird flu, which is now a thing. It's in a few states. A couple people adjacent to farms have gotten it. And there's been some warnings to farmers, but I haven't seen a ton of mainstream coverage about bird flu, but it's on my radar, okay?
Starting point is 00:13:03 Bird flu is on my radar, and I don't want this to become a whole thing, like the last time we had this whole thing where everyone's like, ah, we already did this, we're not doing this again, but I'm a little nervous. It's on your radar. I'm not gonna lie, it's on my radar. It's in enough places where you're concerned,
Starting point is 00:13:19 is what you're saying. I'm not, I wouldn't say I'm concerned yet. Just radar, right? It's on my radar, concern is the next level. Okay. Some people should be concerned, I'm not one. I wouldn't say I'm concerned. Just radar. It's on my radar concern is the next level. Okay, some people should be concerned I'm not one of those people. I'm on a sports podcast for a living. It's on my radar, but I'm not concerned Who should be farmers? Stu gots here summertime is here

Darren Waller should be concerned. Wow. I heard he's retiring. Yes. Rest in power his career. What he do? Now imagine, close your eyes and imagine like a little skinny guy and it's produced impeccably. I think it's like. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Daughter loves Sherrera. If this was Post Malone, I might be like, oh no.
Starting point is 00:15:32 There we are, we're back, salute. The video kinda ruined it. Yeah, it did more than ruin it. And I'm kinda kidding. Why do you do a video, Waller? Attention. Really? What do you think his real thought was
Starting point is 00:15:44 when he gets it produced now? He filmed it and then he gets it sent back to him once the editing's done and he watches it. What is he thinking in that moment? Is he like, this is exactly what I wanted it to be? He thought, this is gonna be bigger than Wapam Gangnam style. Wait till she sees this.
Starting point is 00:16:01 But there's no one in his life that says, hey, this is a bad idea. Well, I think they're divorced now, this is a bad idea. Anyone? They're divorced now, so. There you are. The person he's leaving is the person who was out there. That's probably who would have been like, hey, we shouldn't do that.
Starting point is 00:16:13 I have concerns, speaking of concerns, you're concerned for bird flu. I'm not concerned, it's on my radar. You're not there yet, it's on your radar right now. Let us know when you get concerned. My concern is that- Is this a new strain of bird flu? I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:16:24 I'm not sure. Or is it just bird flu? I know, it's H1N5 or whatever it is. I don new strain of bird flu. I have no idea. I'm not sure What it is my concern is zoom and the reason is And bill you'll have to explain the story to the audience and to people who are not aware here But I have a guest booked on Wednesday and I am concerned that our zoom is good. We were supposed to have Steve Goldstein today I bumped him Goldie. We were supposed to have Steve Goldstein today, I bumped him. Goldie. We were supposed to have Roy Bellamy today, we bumped him. Belly.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Zoom is not working, but I do have a big guest booked for Wednesday. I will tell you the name of the guest, Billy will then tell the story while we're having this person on, but it is Shirley Schefter, Adam Schefter's mom. And I am concerned, she is booked, she is ready to go, she's ready to be this show's NFL insider, okay?
Starting point is 00:17:08 So fire. I mean, she has no access, but she has access to her son's phone. And Billy told us a great story on God Bless Football last week, and so we're gonna get Shirley on Wednesday, but I'm concerned that Zoom's not gonna work. I'm being told from our team that they feel confident
Starting point is 00:17:24 it will be up and running, by tomorrow even. Wow. By tomorrow? Yes. Okay. There you go. Please tell your story if you don't mind why we're having Shirley Schefter on. Well, you told the punchline. Long story short, I met Shirley Schefter on a cruise
Starting point is 00:17:36 in an elevator. Ooh! In a very short time. What day of the week was it? You look down on your thing? It was a Sunday, it was the last day of the cruise. How did you know it was Shirley Schefter? Well, I mean, the punchline was ruined,
Starting point is 00:17:47 but the thing is is that I was in an elevator, I was wearing an ESPN LA hat, Shirley Schefter saw it and said, oh, do you work there? And I said, no, I used to, it's a whole thing, whatever. It was like, went down the whole thing. And then she said, oh, my son works at ESPN, but not at the one in LA, at the one in Bristol. And I said, well, who's your son?
Starting point is 00:18:06 You know, I know a couple people there. Maybe I know who her son is. And then she's like, he works, I was like, what department does he work in? And she said, like ESPN, like Insiders. And I was like, I didn't know it was a department. Like, what's your son's name? She said, Adam Schefter.
Starting point is 00:18:19 And I was like, what? And then she's like, all right, there's my floor, gotta go. Good talking to you. Let's catch up later. And we never did again. So adorable how she sees her son's job. Be like, oh, his name is Adam.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Yeah, exactly right. It was the craziest thing. And my fans are like, Adam Schefter's your son. How is that possible? And she's like, gotta go. She's so proud. She saw your hand and it was a window. A very brief elevator pitch.
Starting point is 00:18:40 No, I'm telling you, it was six, I was sixth floor to fourth floor is where she got off. It was a two-floor style. She just couldn't wait to say that Adam We're concerned that she won't recognize Billy unless he wears the same exact hat But I imagine that Shirley goes around and like has that flex You know what I mean? Like has that conversation more than just with me about my son's I like how she played the game though Cuz she could have just she knows who her son is she could have said No, but she played the game though, because she could have just, she knows who her son is. She could have said, my son's Adam Shetter. She definitely knows who her son is. No, but she played the game of like,
Starting point is 00:19:07 oh, he works in this department. She didn't want to just be like, blunt with it. Hold on. My son's Adam Shetter. That's not, no. Does your mom do that about you, on cruises or anything? My dad. Your dad does?
Starting point is 00:19:17 Yeah, he'll wear a Dan Lampetard show hat hoping someone notices and asks. Like, Dan Lampetard show, I love it. He's like, well, you know, my son is. But I'm not Adam Shetter. Proud dad, that's so cute., he's like, well, you know, my son is, but I'm not Adam Schefter. Proud dad, that's so cute. You're Billy Gill, even better. What if she doesn't follow him on Twitter, though?
Starting point is 00:19:30 She don't know how big his tweets are, she just sees the TV show. Oh, you think she doesn't know that her son's a star? Right, his Ashy Zoom camera on Pat McAfee. It would be impossible for Shirley Schefter to not know that her son is a massive star. We'll find out, I guess, if the Zoom are. I was hoping that the conversation started with her saying,
Starting point is 00:19:47 according to my sure she's, and it sounded just like, and you were like, wait. Was there a resemblance? There was, after the fact there was. When she said ESPN insiders, for whatever reason, my head immediately went to, am I talking to Field Gates' mom right now? And then she said Adam, Adam Scheff.
Starting point is 00:20:02 They have their own boats. And then I was, I'm telling you, it was like a one floor stop, and I saw her, and I was like,, Adam Schiff. And I said, what? And then I was, I'm telling you, it was like a one floor stop. And I saw her and I was like, I kinda see it. It was like a very real, like quick, out of body experience almost. I had a thousand questions. Fields parents aren't on a cruise liner.
Starting point is 00:20:16 They're on a sailboat. They own the cruise liner. Mrs. Fowler, is that you? Right. Well, Shirley's very excited. She remembers you. What? She does.
Starting point is 00:20:27 I reached out to her and I said, do you remember meeting someone on a boat who used to work for ESPN? She said, yes, of course. It was a moment. I know. I wore the hat later in the day, hoping to run into her again,
Starting point is 00:20:37 and I never did. Really? Oh, that's like the saddest. It was sad, yeah. Attempted meet cute ever. Your dad will wear a Levitora hat? Yeah, Levitora hat. Because I'm trying to avoid being recognized. It was sad, yeah. Attempted meet cute ever. Your dad would wear a levitator hat? Yeah, levitator hat. Because I'm trying to avoid being recognized on a cruise.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Yeah, well. You don't go on cruises, do you? I've been on a cruise, yeah. I went on a cruise once. Dan's parents were on there. Yeah. I was sitting on the blackjack table. I was sober when I saw Dan's mom the first time.
Starting point is 00:21:00 I had a big stack of chips. Then she came back like four and a half hours later same seat no chips hammered Just sitting there watching others play blackjack seeing someone You know on a cruise when you did not intend to go on a cruise with that person is always a weird experience It depends on the person if it's the wrong person. I will spend the rest of the cruise hiding It's usually the wrong person like it's never happened to you. Oh, yeah with the wrong person It's not that it's the wrong person, but it's always like Has this happened to you? Oh yeah. With the wrong person? It's not that it's the wrong person, but it's always like I didn't expect-
Starting point is 00:21:27 He didn't rap before it's mom, that was a mess. No, it's like some kid from high school that's like, oh we could talk to him, it's just gonna be awkward. A second cousin, something, and then you feel like the obligation to where we hang out now, or are we going on vacation together,
Starting point is 00:21:39 and like the earlier you see them in the trip, the worse it is, because then it's like- They're like, oh what time's your dinner seating? Oh you wanna sit with us? You gotta go to the show, what are you gonna do when you get off at NASA? You wanna do this together?
Starting point is 00:21:48 Let's rent a Jeep together. You wanna go ATV? It's like no, I wanted to go on vacation, not with you. That's why I'm on my own vacation. You know what I mean? You guys don't have that situation? No. I've never been on a cruise.
Starting point is 00:21:59 You've never been on a cruise and run into someone that you know? If that happens you should just say, look man, me and my wife have such a big itinerary, I'ma mess with you whenever we get back stateside. Do I wear my four inch inseam bathing suit and now do I have to go conservative knee length? What are we doing here?
Starting point is 00:22:17 Why are you kicking the can down the road on your friend, Juju? I'll see you when we get back up there. It's the truth though, that's honestly the best way to do it. But you won't, it's not the truth, you're lying. No, you will see them when we get back up there. It's the truth though, that's honestly the best way to do it. But you won't, it's not the truth, you're lying. No, you will see them when you get back to real world reality. We can visit a bookshop. Exactly, I'm not going to hang out with you here.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Go to Flannys. We're good. Yeah, but I wouldn't say that. And they think it too, and that's really the thing is neither party really wants to hang out with each other, right? Well, of course. What if you saw me on a cruise, what would you do? Unexpectedly. I'd be like, let's go to your room. You would Wow Baby, I can't we're so pineapple. Don't call me sure we joke what I got You're the only one I thought you meant to record godless football Yes, meaning for us are only twice and. I can just really check your eyes. Me and Juju are also f***ing.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Oh wow, that is the biggest lie you've ever told in your entire life. That's never ended up never. Salute. You can't say salute after that. So did you guys like, you just never saw each other again? Kicked the can down the road? It was the last day and it was a chance meeting in an elevator How was the cruise besides that? My kids are sick the whole time. Oh, that's how vacation That's the worst. How many days were you with the sick children? Just a weekend. Just a weekend. Yeah I actually forgot my daughter's like like swim
Starting point is 00:23:39 Whatever life jacket. Yeah, that's why I went back to get it while they were off the ship And that's when I ran into her. It was a chance meeting. Sliding doors moment, wow. It was incredible. Well, she's coming on. I'm excited. If we get Zoom fixed.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Very excited. I just put a big bet on the Panthers for the series. Really? I did. Wow. During the break. I already have one in. I'm deciding whether I should hedge.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Why? I put one in for the Panthers like a few months ago and I get... Riding your futures? Yeah. Deciding, haven't decided yet. I think I'm just gonna ride it out. Wow. You have to ride it out.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Go all or nothing. Speaking of futures, the future doesn't look very bright for Deontay Wilder. Another knockout over the weekend. Oh my God, this is like, since Fury, his career has just went downhill and downhill and down. That's like the fourth transition you've led No, no, it's not a bad thing. I'm just when did this happen? I love it
Starting point is 00:24:33 Professionalism man, you know, yeah Professionals and you wrangle us in bring us back to sports. He's the current that's flowing through the lazy river I didn't even notice he did it. Honestly, it was so seamless. I noticed that he did it when it was Deontay Wilder. I was like, I got nothing here. Right. And you'd be the person that had stuff, but then you were like, who are you setting up?
Starting point is 00:24:55 I could have done that. I could have set you up. But no one else here knows that Deontay Wilder even fought. Maybe he's setting himself up. I mean, get one of those Kobe off the glass, I'ma catch it. Yeah, you gotta catch it, put it down. Tell me about Deontay Wilder.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Man, he lost this weekend, he got knocked out, bro. He looked so goofy in the knockouts. It was one of those knockouts where he got hit, he got hit and then turned around and then it was like, hey, why did you let him hit me, referee? And it's like, take another one. And then legs straight out on the ground. It's starting to look like the beginning of the end
Starting point is 00:25:25 for Deontay Wilder's career. Hopefully he can get some investments and bought some land or something of that nature, but it's not looking too great in the boxing side of things. I'll take the combat sports vine in that there was supposed to be a press conference today for Conor McGregor's next fight. It was supposed to happen in Dublin.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Chandler McGregor, we've been told this thing is finally happening and Abruptly this press conference has been canceled so far. No reason given Things are going good in the fight game Did you see Connor they're like like a week ago was out partying when he's supposed to be training like Flash their boobs in front of the Dublin portal again again and they had to shut down the whole city or they're at the Oilers game actually yeah last moment it really is felt bad for Tyson I mean it's back it's an ulcer that that is getting in the way of this fight back allegedly is yeah cuz it
Starting point is 00:26:19 could be like oh you realize what you're doing and then I got ulcer but hopefully if he has an ulcer please get well soon Mike and I can't wait to see you knock Jake out. Yeah. But I felt bad for him. I don't think he should be having this fight. I don't think he should be fighting. No I didn't think I didn't think he should be fighting before because I just feared some sort of health issue like yes I've seen the videos I know Tyson can punch a bag fast and I know he can do it much faster than Jake Paul The internet has done a great job making you think that Jake Paul is gonna get in this ring and get his head knocked off but also it's a
Starting point is 00:26:57 Massive job and making you forget the age difference between these people Then Mike Tyson Mike Tyson could get seriously ill by just training for this fight, and that's what's happened. Just by merely training. Forget about getting his face caved in. Well, that won't happen. Don LeBretard. Florida claws back from down 2-0
Starting point is 00:27:19 because they were getting their asses handed to them by Toronto to then get lit afire underneath them by their head coach Paul Maurice who did the thing. Remember how the run was sparked last year? Stugats. He called them a bunch of peas and bees. He did the thing again. Called them a bunch of peas and bees and then boom five unanswered. You win the division. This is the Dunn-Levatar Show with the Stugats. to win the division. This is the Don Lebatar Show with the StuGards. ["The Stugarts Show Theme"] Famous people's B days, what's that?
Starting point is 00:27:52 That was me wanting to figure out who the celebrity or athlete that has the closest birthday to you. I mean, I'm sure there's a lot that have a bunch of the same birthdays as you. You can look up, like I looked up May 1987. Oh, actual like. Like the closest in actual age. Not just dates.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Right, not just your birthday, but like who in celebrity is exactly your age. To figure out like who. How much of a failure you are compared to them. Exactly right, yes. I just got told in my ear Mike Fuentes is two days older than LeBron James. Big time loser. That's f***ed up, don'tentes is two days older than LeBron James. Big time loser.
Starting point is 00:28:25 That's f**ked up, don't do my doubt like that. It's true though, I mean, if we're gonna compare the two. Mike Fuentes. He's a big time loser. Respectfully. No he's not. Mike Fuentes is a winner. No, but LeBron's a bigger winner.
Starting point is 00:28:39 He's just jealous. Yeah. LeBron though. Let's put it this way, if I had to choose would I rather be Mike Fuentes or LeBron James, I think I would choose LeBron James. I think. There are pros and cons. What do you mean you think? I think I would choose I'd rather be LeBron James and Mike Fuentes, respectfully. I don't know, bro. Really? Mike Fuentes leave a fire life. Simple life. Huh. And have you seen his calves no great calves okay you
Starting point is 00:29:05 think it's better calves than LeBron James yes I do that's insane proportionally that's crazy awesomely the worst take I've ever heard Mike Funtas does not have better calves than LeBron James I mean we need to put them on the bus. He doesn't have better calves than me. Let's do a calf cab. Are we doing show? Chris start I have very bad calves cough one of my weakest features my calves really nothing I can do about it. I tried work out my legs do calf raises doesn't matter. They're never gonna get thick I just skinny chicken legs me three. Yeah But Mike Fuentes you're claiming during the break that he has great calves?
Starting point is 00:29:48 Yes, Mike Fuentes has better calves than LeBron James. That's impossible. All right, so what we were talking, we were trying to see. Thank you, Chris. We're trying to figure out where, like our same birthday when I was born, who in celebrity or sports is closest to me in age?
Starting point is 00:30:02 And we found out that Mike Fuentes is two days, is it younger, older? Two days older than LeBron. Two days older than LeBron James. So we were comparing the lives of our video producer, Mike Fuentes and LeBron James. And thinking of what things Mike has succeeded at more than LeBron and apparently.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Nothing is the answer. Being truthful. Cavs, like, Cav muscles, not the cavaliers, I think that's an important distinction. That's true, LeBron played for the calves. Calves might be the only thing, calf muscles might be the only thing
Starting point is 00:30:33 that Fuentes has on LeBron, but I think that's up for debate. Also movie knowledge, Mike Fuentes knows a lot about movies. LeBron loves movies. You don't know LeBron's movie knowledge, though. LeBron knows everything about everything. What are you doing there?
Starting point is 00:30:44 You're making some shit. He also is a book connoisseur. You know, Dark 30, The Godfather. That guy knocks out the first three pages of a book like no one. I bet I have a beat on that. Really? Did you guys see?
Starting point is 00:30:56 There's the clip with JJ and LeBron where LeBron's like, I love chess. I'm a great, and then he very quickly realizes that JJ might ask a follow-up, so he goes, actually I don't play that much. I should throw a few. Because JJ actually loves chess. He went into, he said something that just you could tell
Starting point is 00:31:12 flew out of him that he wasn't even thinking about, and you could see the math of like, oh no, I might get called out on this. I actually don't play that much. He like, undid what he said the previous sentence. You need to have a conversation with LeBron and teach him how to follow through on that lie better. Taylor has the exact same birthday as Justin Bieber.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Wow. What? Really? Bees. Hey. Sorry. Who's your closest birthday? I would believe that Taylor has better calves
Starting point is 00:31:38 than Justin Bieber if we had to do that contest. Does Fuentes? Than Justin Bieber? Yes. Fuentes verse Taylor though Is this a off office? Misconduct I didn't do the training so what what are we allowed to compare employees calves? I don't know. I don't know I'm not comparing whether we are or not. I'm telling you right now
Starting point is 00:31:57 I have the best calves amongst us. I do hmm. Let me see. What's your birthday, July? What July? What July 29th? 29th what year? Wow, those are pretty good. Thank you. Only Jessica's definition. What year? 1960. You gonna let the audience see? You had me born in the 60s?

Starting point is 00:32:20 All right. Let's see what celebrity is. I'm two days older than the Joker. Hmm, which one Heath Ledger? And I think in the cold I was told that Lewis shares a birthday with Robert plant. Oh That's a good guy to share a birthday with different years. Who shares a birthday with Robert plant Lewis Lewis is not 76 years old exactly right Lewis is playing the game wrong We're trying to find like your year guys the closest what day was it many muchado for me July 29 That's a good one. She's many Machado's great, but you're older than many much. Yes
Starting point is 00:32:52 No, not by his uh Wikipedia date Okay, hmm. What's your last four digits mom's maiden name get out of here the full birthday? I knew your birthday because I remember celebrating your 50th two summers ago. Right. And I made you a card. You did.
Starting point is 00:33:13 And that was all I remembered about it. That was so nice of you. I wonder whatever happened to that card. I have no idea. It's the only card I got. So does Stuka. That card is in a waste dump on the damn Mississippi. That card did not leave this room.
Starting point is 00:33:24 That stayed here. Somewhere around here. It's in the Clevelander to this day. Jess, are you playing? I looked, there's no one within a month. The closest that I have is maybe Jess, you know, but I imagine most of the rest of this room does not. Troye Sivan is, I'm a day older than Troye Sivan.
Starting point is 00:33:41 I thought he was much younger. Yeah, me too. I know who that is, but let Juju know who that is. He's like a singer. Pop star. Yeah, pop singer. Yeah, big pop star. Oh, yeah, that's the position.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Check it out. I was born the same day as Joss Stone. I was born the same day as Dak Prescott. You were not? Well, no, yes. You guys don't understand this game. Well, not the same year, but the same day. We're going for looking for the year.
Starting point is 00:34:03 We're going for the closest to your actual age. So I'm one day older than Troye Sivan. We don't have the same birthday. He's born a day after me. Is it morbid to play the game of being born the same day a famous person died? What? Ooh.
Starting point is 00:34:18 Is that yours? Very dangerous. Do they have to die before you were born? Like they're reincarnated into you? Uh, yeah. So you would then take the life of the celebrity that died earlier in that day? If you believe in that, which I think, you know, everyone has their own views on. Let's see what reincarnated celebrity we all are.
Starting point is 00:34:36 So who died? Oh, Sugata, we got the same birthday as Ken Burns. Who's that? Oh, boy. Oh, God. Jess, I'm sorry for being in the rubble with you. Ken Burns? Same year, too? Same year.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Really? That's impossible. Ken Burns is older than Sugata. When you born? In 53? Boy, oh god Same year to same year possible Ken Burns is older than two guys 53 yeah, come on I got mad at him for the 60s. You're older than my dad. Oh, that's 54. No the year What wait you around by tennis players Andy Murray? I'm five days older than and Novak Djokovic, I'm two days older than. Wow. Nice. Oh, that joker.
Starting point is 00:35:08 I should've been a tennis player. Now I'm looking at people who died on my birthday. Has Genesis ever mashed your calves? Yes. It's the most painful thing in the world, no? Easily. Yeah. The calf mashing, top three most painful things
Starting point is 00:35:21 that happens at work, I have to say. In the name of equality, Kirsten has, I think, one of the best set of calves in this side of the Mississippi River. Well done, Juju. Wow. You know what I mean? So I'll take your word for it.
Starting point is 00:35:34 I put my own calves on there too. I'm a married man. Okay, I gotta see those puppies. Ha ha ha ha. Irk signed Caldwell, the American novelist, died on the day I was born. He was 83. Really?
Starting point is 00:35:47 I don't know who the hell that is. Have you ever fancied yourself an author, a writer? So it was Kent Taylor, American actor, and Primo Levi, Italian chemist and writer. Ernest Bornemann, the German sexual researcher and psychotherapist, died at 80 on my birthday. Why do you bring those up? We don't make those anymore.
Starting point is 00:36:06 We don't make sexual researchers. Sexual researchers. And if we have them, they're not famous. They used to be famous. I think they're porn stars. Who's the most famous? Whoops. Famous what?
Starting point is 00:36:18 Dr. Ruth. Yeah, Dr. Ruth, right? She was in all the VH1, I love the whatevers. Well said. There you go. Everyone knows what I'm talking about, I love the whatevers. Well said. There you go. Everyone knows what I'm talking about, okay? Those are the best. Wow, John Madden died on Mike Fuentes' birthday.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Wow. But not the year that he was born, because John Madden just passed away. Why does no one understand this game? No one. Including you. Not that confusing. Speaking of John Madden, did you see the scandal
Starting point is 00:36:41 with the Raiders owner last week having a young girlfriend who wasn't his girlfriend at all being pregnant? So it was because that Twitter account posted it, right? That Twitter account that aggregates all the NFL. I blocked it like two years ago because I kept seeing it in my feed and it would always be aggregated quotes and news
Starting point is 00:37:01 but from like six months ago and it would seem like it was like a news story and it never was, I was like I need to just block this because I don't know why I keep showing up in my- This might be reckless but what did Joey Gallo have to do with this story? He ended up being the father of the child. He's the papi, right?
Starting point is 00:37:15 She came out and said it. Yeah, he posted- Not reckless, good question. No, I think that was part of the- Whenever the internet's involved I don't know what's allowed. I mean me too, I saw the Chipotle CEO and I was like,
Starting point is 00:37:25 this has gotta be fake. He did look like AI, bro. The way he held his neck. I'm like, bro, look down. And just the concept of nodding at the employees. I can't get over the nod. It was like a, huh? Yeah, extra meat.
Starting point is 00:37:40 I share a birthday with Getty Lee. Nice. The Getty Lee. That's like the photo service? No, Getty Lee was with Geddy Lee. Nice, the Geddy Lee. That's like the photo service? No, Geddy Lee was with Rush, Billy. He's an insane man. The CEO of Chipotle looks like a hockey player. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Kind of looks like Gretzky. He looks like he breath stank. The great one, he does. Geddy Lee was born in 1953. That's not this game. You were not born in 1953. But he was born July 29th. Actually, since we've gotten so confused in this game. You were not born in 1953. But he was born July 29th. Actually, since we've gotten so confused in this game,
Starting point is 00:38:09 Geddy Lee was born the same day as Ken Burns. Really? Yeah, if they were both born in 53. That's a great trivia question. Here's a weird one. I mentioned Ernest Bornemann died on my birthday, the German sexual researcher. Well, it turns out Dr. Ruth, born on June 4th as well, also German, yeah, my birthday's tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Dr. Ruth, the German American sex therapist. Was born the day the other one died? Was born, I mean, not exactly the same day. She's born on June 4th, 1928, but something about June 4th and these German sexual therapists. Not too late for you to have a career pivot, I believe. I guess, turns out. Speaking of late for you to have a career pivot, I believe. I guess.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Turns out. Speaking of Ruth, the Yankees right now, Aaron Judge hit a whole bunch of homes. Get out of here! The other day. That's a great idea, I'm going. It's a list of the Bronx bombers, man. I like that everyone's just Googling away,
Starting point is 00:38:56 like, clacking, trying to find celebrities on their birthday. Totally forgot we were doing a show. What'd you say about Ruth? Speaking of Ruth. Who do you has worse hair, Geddy Lee or Ken Burns? Man, I don't know what Geddy Lee's hair looks like. So that's a tough call. Of the people born on July 29th,
Starting point is 00:39:15 Geddy Lee, Ken Burns, or me. His flow's not bad. I don't love the facial hair though. Right. The flow is not bad, but I also don't know what Ken Burns' hair looks like. Really? I look like Ken Burns a little bit't know what Ken Burns' hair looks like. Really? It's gotta look like Ken Burns a little bit.
Starting point is 00:39:26 This is Ken Burns. Oh. But you forgot about those. It's Ken Burns. Nice reaction. They both have good flow, but not ideal haircuts, I would say. I share a birthday with Sam Hortman.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Oh! How about that? How about that? Winner? Winning the game. So I discovered the other day, this information will only Be relevant to like maybe six people and and I think the six of us are them Sam Hartman only four months older than baby Lando
Starting point is 00:39:55 I thought you were saying baby Grog for a second. I'm like that does not that doesn't make sense Playing the game wrong again I don't understand how this works. Playing the game wrong again. How awesome was that though? Coming to Miami and winning. It was amazing. Speaking of playing games, I played Settlers of Catan for the first time last night.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Did you? I thought this game was supposed to be hard. Everyone's like, oh, Settlers of Catan, it takes forever to win and it's so hard. I had settlements popping up left and right. I had the longest road. I had a million sheep. I mean, every single turn, I got the longest road. I had a million sheep. I mean Every single turn I got the little Joker guy and I was blocking block hating all my friends
Starting point is 00:40:29 Everyone said it was hard Joker was born two days before Chris. We Steve Martin crazy No one likes the person where there's a hard game and you stroll in and you make it look easy Yeah, my friends were not happy about it. Well, are they good at the game? I mean, they're never gonna bring it over again. And then we played Scrabble, and I won by like a thousand points. Right. I mean, who'd you play, the Mets? Are you an annoying winner?
Starting point is 00:40:52 Yeah. The third game that you guys play, you lose on purpose, just because you don't wanna look at me. I want them to come back. No, I would never lose on purpose. If you're gonna put like an eight letter word in Scrabble, try harder, I mean, come on.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Lewis and Mike Fuentes are furious about your Settlers of Catan victory. And they said, quote, bring that shit here. Ah, please, I'll smoke them. Against a real opponent. Yeah, that's essentially what they're saying. Right. They're the real challenge,
Starting point is 00:41:18 not just as friends, apparently. I promise, I know what Settlers of Catan are. I know exactly who they come from. But Chris, Cody does it. Help me out. Specifically, no. Juju knows. It's like if Monopoly and-
Starting point is 00:41:30 Met risk? Sort of. If they had like a weird baby. I can't really, I don't think I could describe it, but it's a board game where you build cities and settlements with different cards and you roll a dice and you get to, you know, get different things depending on what you roll on
Starting point is 00:41:47 Yeah, and you're the best at it. Like Lemmings. I'm in my friend group. Mm-hmm They had friends though. I beat my friends worse than the Liberty beat the fever last night. Oh worse than the Sun beat the dream Backstreet's back. All right Since the dawn of mankind, we've cooked our food over an open flame and debated the best way to grill.
