Will he faint? Find out the exclusive results on the Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz.

This is the Dan Lebatore Show with the StuGuts Podcast. Leaning a couple things up.
Buf Bonser was never brave.
So that was just an acquisition that I made in MVP baseball that just stuck with me and
it was kind of like Mandela.
Where'd he play?
I think it was the Twins.
San Francisco, Minnesota Twin as well. Buildsubmarines.com is a slick effort by the Navy.
As if the armed forces spending in NASCAR has gone well,
they decided to go back to that well.
But it does seem cool.
I think I'd like to build submarines over, you know,
fight in one.
Yeah.
Submarines are a bit terrifying to me.
I don't like the idea of them.
I would get claustrophobic in something like that.
It would seem, I wouldn't trust a submarine.
It seems like a really stressful work environment,
especially if you get like half an EAS.
Are you manning the submarine?
I mean, are you in a Navy submarine?
I'm manning the submarine in that I would be a man
in the submarine.
But what if I told you for like near a million dollars?
I can get you and about six of your friends in a private submarine to see the Titanic
Put up the the photo of Mike Ryan with pitbull. It's one of the better costumes we've ever had around here
I do not I do not blame pitbull for being very excited that someone would come that close to recreating
You know me I was quote crazy for this one
It was it was one it was a seminal moment in this show's history
I want to Greg you had already given us do you think I can fit in that suit oh no way no correct after eight years and 40 pounds it's terrible
feeling it is not great but someone do something to my suit Greg you you did go
to building submarine comm you reported the news before my guy and that this was
a lovely website yeah that you thought it was ingenious advertises
it's a brilliant ad campaign i really do because the idea of building submarines
is fun
it's a go-to website name if nothing else you want to build your own
submarine
you know i mean you know i must build rocket ships like and i build my own
submarine
i uh... i have been disappointed today I said, I wanted to start this long-term relationship
with Armando today.
I wanted to have legs today.
But I am certainly used to around here hearing a lot about wonderful and great ideas that
never end up happening.
One of them that I thought was ingenious billy this was your idea and
then i don't know what happened i went on vacation and happened
we had a billboard
possibility here all over south florida that would have been
uh... you would have done a qr code on a billboard and you would have gone to it
would have just been that
and it would have just said
uh... something religious about uh... you know saving somebody or uh... and
and then you would have just gotten inside and it would have been
uh... connor mcdavid is not a savior he's overrated uh... that's what would
have been inside we would have billboards all over south florida i
thought it was going to be executed why out while i was gone what happened well
so this is gonna happen.
You left.
It was gonna happen in Edmonton,
because we got turned down by Edmonton by multiple people.
Regrettably.
Yeah, so then what was gonna happen
is we came up with like an acronym
and the letter spelled out choke
and it was gonna be on a board
and it was just gonna be like very vague in a QR code
and it was gonna be like healing, emotion,
like things like that.
So like to maybe entice people that are looking for,
you know, like salvation to click on this thing.
And then once they clicked on that,
we were gonna have also a fake website
to get it by the campaign.
So it'd be a fake website.
And then once we announced it live,
we're gonna change the website.
And then I was gonna say about how much
Connor McDaver is not your salvation, he's a choker.
So that was gonna happen in Edmonton,
and then what ended up happening is then we put our efforts
into finding a billboard in South Africa
that you were gonna see by the airport
with Greg Cody's face.
And we were trying to figure out
when you were gonna drive by the airport
to see Greg Cody's face.
What a great joke.
Yeah, and then what ended up happening
is you just got like six around South Florida.
No, we got a couple here.
The price was right.
It was free, I think.
What ended up happening is we didn't do anything.
But we looked at South Africa and have Greg Cote surprise you
on vacation.
Inspired.
You get points for the idea.
No, you don't.
All we do is have ideas that we don't complete around here,
including meeting up with Pitbull today.
But no points for having one?
No.
Do I get any points?
We should interview Booth Bonser.
Ooh.
That's my contribution.
How about this, Dan?
Can we finish that story?
Two points.
Yes, I would love to interview Booth Bonser.
I would also love to interview today someone
talking about produce from a produce section
somewhere that can tell us whether or not
it's okay to break ginger in half.
I would also love for somebody to bring in pickle brine
so that Greg Cody can drink it during the show.
But none of those things will actually happen.
Get Steve Corder, we need him on the list.
Well, I have something you might like, Dan.
It's a segment that you're always talking about
and we haven't done that many times.
Gas Bag of the Week, you wanna do that?
Yes, please let's do, finally, thank you. I wanna win this. It's a segment that you're always talking about and we haven't done that many times. Gas Bag of the Week. You want to do that?
Oh wow.
Yes.
Please let's do it.
Finally.
Thank you.
I want to win this.
Gas Bag of the Week.
Who is our Gas Bag of the Week?
Gas Bag of the Week.
Grafol has been turned into this obsequious, sniveling-
I don't know if he's been turned into this obsequious, sniveling... I don't know if he's been turned into anything.
This absolute Uriah heap where, oh, Jerry's a great man, a great man who wants to win.
He's a great man.
I think that he's always been that.
If you talk to people who know Pager or have known Pager Grafol, that's one of the things
that I was told to look out for, that he's a climber.
Just an inveterate suck-ass.
And this, oh, Jerry's had tough decisions to make.
It's not a tough decision to fire your dumb ass.
That's an easy decision.
He doesn't make it because they don't want the aggravation to have to slide somebody else in there
and maybe give somebody a bump in salary.
You're paid no matter what.
Put Pager out of his damn misery already.
That's Dan Bernstein of 670,
the score railing against the Chicago White Sox
who have now lost 21 straight.
That's actually led to our first ever follow-up video
in the Gas Packet League,
because things are not going well
for the Chicago White Sox at the moment, Dan.
That mean Pedro is 100 games on the 500.
Yes. Then he got the job. He's 100 games under. Oh boy. Yeah that's tough. So I gotta go to college tomorrow.
No I do. I had to bring my because some three years ago I was happy man now and I'm bitter and
Three years ago, I was happy, but now I'm bitter and weird. You're bitter watching this team play?
No, just like, because I don't think I was the bad manager when they picked Pedro in front of me.
I got a serious picture.
I'm drinking a lot.
You are?
I have problems with my wife a lot.
The only people who get along with me is my grandkids.
Everybody out, I hate them. I don't know why don't think that

one of the parents from the the Beastie Boys party for your right to fight, what is it? Fight for your right to fight. Party. Fight for your right to party. Wow.
Nailed it, Dan-o.
Yeah.
You're fine, though.
I'm telling you.
That is a fine.
J-Lo, you are a fly girl.
He's wearing a Beastie Boys shirt
and he looks like he's one of the parents
from the original Beastie Boys video.
And I am now the age where I can't remember
what the name of that song was.
To be fair, Florida is a right to fight state.
Thank you, Jessica.
I'm watching the Summer Games and I can tell you that with all the blood, sweat and tears
that these athletes lose during competition, they need all the hydration that they can
get.
I also know that the weekend warriors like myself need to have the electrolytes that Liquid
IV can provide.
Where there is a day at the ballpark or barbecuing, staying hydrated is crucial,
especially in this heat. Liquid IV helps maintain optimal hydration levels,
allowing me to enjoy these events to the fullest without the discomfort of dehydration.
After I exercise, which for me is just mowing the lawn, I just pop in a stick of Strawberry
Liquid IV in a cold glass of water. It's perfect for coming in out of the sun.
Cool off your summer with the reimagined flavors of iconic treats like Popsicle Firecracker or get a refreshing swallow goodness with zero
sugar from the indulgent fruity flavors of Rainbow Sherbet. Tear, pour, live more. One stick plus 16
ounces of water hydrates better than water alone. If hydrating were an Olympic sport, you would win
the gold. Get 20% off your first order of Liquor.iv when you go to Liquor.iv.com and use code DLS at
checkout. That's 20% off your first order when you shop better hydration today
using promo code DLS at LiquidIV.com. Don LeBattard. Yeah, very fast. Imagine if someone told you you
couldn't have a Corvette. Stugats. I'm a grown-ass man who's not who's not filthy
rich. I can't afford a Lamborghini. Well, I probably can, but that's... Whoa! Hey! Oh, big flex.
Wow.
Big flex.
All right.
This is the Dan Leventhal Show with the Stugats.
This episode of the Dan Leventhal Show with Stugats
is presented by Smirnoff.
We do game days.
Please drink responsibly.
The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York.
Over the next couple of months, we're going to have some big announcements around here
that are going to be fun and exciting. And over the next couple of months, we're also
going to lean into some things that we probably haven't done a ton of before because of the
nature of where America is. Hasan Piker is going to join us to god's he is a uh... he he's on twitch eight hours a day and he's becoming new
and popular and influential political commentator and i have told the audience
before
that i don't talk about politics around here i have all my life talked about
race and then that ends up becoming politics because now everything is
politics but over the next few months we're going to try and get you some and then that ends up becoming politics because now everything is politics. But
over the next few months we're gonna try and get you some voices and some angles
from people. Who's breathing so hard? Is that you, Cody? Who's breathing hard into
the microphone?
I'm breathing very easily.
It doesn't sound like it. You sound a little strained in general. Roy, you're with me on this, right?
Even him saying I'm breathing very easily sounded like it was coming through a cheese grater.
Yeah, that doesn't sound easy huh okay I tell
you what when I'm not speaking how about I go like that or you can just
breathe quieter like you could just not stop breathing we don't know nobody here
wants that nobody here wants that we all dread that day don't stop breathing but
you could breathe a little quieter when the microphone is right under your beak.
Okay.
I'll take the blame for that.
I'll just, you know, the mic is probably too hot on Greg.
It's not Greg's fault.
Greg's doing a great job of breathing.
Good pace, good in, good out.
Let me just turn down his mic a little bit
when he's breathing.
Because I think that it's just turned up
and the mic's a little too sensitive.
Because Greg's doing a great job today.
Thank you, Billy.
The whole time he's breathing?
No.
That would be the whole show.
Play it by ear.
Play it by ear.
Figure it out.
I can hold my breath.
How long?
Not very long.
Let's not do that.
I'll hold my breath for like a minute,
or a minute and a half.
You can't do it for a minute.
Oh yeah.
Really?
Olympic competition.
I think old Greg Goat back in the day
used to go under water in a pool
and hold his breath longer than any other kid around.
Greg, you can't and shouldn't hold your breath for a minute. We can try it if you want.
Why don't you practice it on your drive home?
No, not in the car. Bad idea. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, trying as an exercise from the maker of a staring contest on his audio podcast, The
Greg Cody Show.
That was a good one.
Great idea, man.
I would be for just sitting here and watching him hold his breath for a full minute, and
I assure you he's not going to be able to do it.
I don't think he's going to be able to do it.
But the problem with any exercise with Greg Cody is that I just ask, can we get some pickle
brine in here for next week so, can we get some pickle brine in here for next
week so that he can drink some pickle brine, and he's like, ooh, I'm on a lot of high blood
pressure medication, I don't want to.
Dr. Ritchie Peltz Yeah, hip-uh, geez.
Dr. Darrell Bock It's dangerous.
Dr. Ritchie Peltz Well, he's right.
I mean, yeah.
Dr. Darrell Bock It is dangerous to drink a bunch of salt.
Even if you're not on high blood pressure medication, you drink pickle brine, you're
going to need it afterward.
Dr. Ritchie Peltz Yeah.
Yeah, my doctor says I need much more sodium in my diet, so I guess I should drink
more pickle juice.
Now, we're on blood pressure medication, like about 40% of everyone is, so.
Put it on the poll, please, at Levittard Show.
It seems like you ran out of breath there.
Well said.
It seems like everyone.
At Levittard Show, is 40% of everyone, no, this is about when he starts to fade yes is 40% of everyone on high blood pressure medication yes or no
Stugats has a couple of top five lists that are ready to put a bow on
some of the things we've done today one of them is top five players in sports
who can out die. Yes, dice.
The plural of dice, not hair dye or not people dyeing, like Greg Cody would do if he held
his breath for a minute.
And top five people in sports who canote through their name produce.
Yes, something you would find in the produce aisle at a supermarket.
Right, not production, not what you think of as production in sports, produce.
Like ginger from Gilligan's Island.
Like albanana.
Like ginger that you crack in half.
Ginger that you crack in half.
Albanana, let me scratch him off.
Yeah, you gotta get rid of the albanana.
I should've used cilantro.
Albanana, this is not how you play the game.
But it's just produce, like it can't be Jared Mayo.
I don't know.
That's a condiment.
That's a condiment, different category.
That's things you would find in the supermarket in general we could play that game
No, well, what about juice that's next to the produce?
Oh, no, but it's not produce. It's Bill Rafter recount onions
Let's see, let's see. Which one do you want to do first? I just thought of a good one. Let's do produce
All right top five. Let's see if yours is better than any in his top five. Let's see. Ready?
No, you wait until he...
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Why would I want to...
This is a man that can hold his breath, I'm telling you.
Come on, it's noon.
They're sharp as a tack today.
Sharp as a carpet tack.
Mm-hmm.
Have you noticed that this is when you tend to deteriorate on Tuesdays, or have you not
noticed this?
I'm just peeking.
Yeah.
Number five, Stugatser, do we have any OLI?
No, just a straight five.
Is this just sports or all of entertainment?
These are top five people in sports, athletes,
who can note something you would find
in the produce aisle at a supermarket.
So no Gene Shallot?
I mean, you say people in sports.
That's produce.
Coaches, like you just said, athletes there, so you need to clarify. At mean you say people in sports. That's produce. Coaches like you just said
athletes there so you need the... At this point just giving the five would be quicker. Number five.
That's true. Kelsey Plum. Number four. Eli Apple. Number three. Don Cherry.
And number one.
Daryl Strawberry.
A fine list.
Greg Cody, do you have any?
Julius Peppers.
Do you have any better than that?
Yeah.
I had Bob Lemon not knowing he was going to do Cleo Lemon.
I had that audible.
Ralph Pomegranate.
Paul Ralphie.
Good list.
Thank you.
Thank you everyone. Ralph pomegranate Good list. Pomegranate.
Thank you everyone.
So your ad-lib off of Bob Lemon when you scurried away because he stole it with Cleo Lemon was to go Rob pomegranate.
Ralph.
Oh sorry.
Yeah, come on that's another side.
Rob was his little known brother.
My bad. It's such a bad a bad it's just such a sh
joke you love to make
but i've never said the word problem making it for fifty years you change
someone's name to albanian
you've been making it they may be to to it without banana and i'll get on back on
the back end with ralph pomegranate
it can pop
it yeah not the same. K Paul. Five top
five players, athletes, people in sports who canote die.
Number five Stu Gutch. Andrew Luck. Number four. Jermaine
Die. Number three. Antrel Roll. Number number two roll the dice there no dice K number
one Antonio McDyce
car Dale Jones oh my list yeah well I it is his list list. Do you have something else that you wanted to get to?
You're still staring at the list.
I'm staring at Antonio McDyce,
because when he played,
that's all I did was stare at Antonio McDyce.
He's just one of those guys you stare at
when he's playing basketball.
He was chiseled, man.
He was very muscular.
John Bones Jones.
Ooh.
I counted, by the way,
Greg did the 60 seconds with no breathing. He just didn't want to distract anyone.
No, we can do that, Billy, if you insist.
You're the executive producer today and it's going great.
And we have, if you want to just stare as we wait for Hassan Piker, everything, you
get everything out there in the clearing out of everything of your fine breathing.
If I'm going to do it, I have to enter a zone.
Can you get near the microphone, please?
That's my fault. I turned it down. Hold on a second. You won't hear me do it, I have to enter a zone. Can you get near the microphone, please, when you're talking? That's my fault.
I turned it down. Get the zone.
Hold on a second. You won't hear me.
No, you didn't tone it down.
No. Just like a professional, Greg,
at the end of a work day,
pretend like you're still here broadcasting
and working with us, okay?
I know you checked out as soon as we promoted your podcast
a bunch of times, but stay with us here.
You want me to hold my breath or no?
All right, we're gonna do this then. I don't think it's a good idea, but I don us here you know my brother no all right we're gonna do this then i don't think it's a good idea but i don't
think you realize how long a minute actually is so we're just gonna sit
here and stare at the at the clock
as you try to hold your breath while are you ready at the sixteen minute mark
you try and hold your breath for a minute we're just gonna stare at you i
think this is terrible idea
and i think you're going to be is going to gonna try cheat but so they said about landing on the
moon four three two one okay Craig is holding his breath presently over four
seconds a smiling is a smile what if a nostril moves? Because I can see him cheating under these circumstances.
No, he's doing fine.
Those nostrils are substantive.
They could sneak air without us realizing it.
Potentially.
Is his chest moving?
No, I don't see any chest movement.
No, he's doing great so far.
You're halfway there, Greg.
30 seconds.
Only 50 more seconds to go.
What if he's dead?
No, he's not dead. He's there. I can I can tell he's got a good question though lively look to him there
but also
He closed his eyes there, but that's not cheating that him grunting
I know like something here No, 53 seconds,
seven to go, six, five, four, three, two, one. And Greg has done it.
History has been made. Greg Cody helped his brother. This is the part that we have to worry about though.
Did you feel like quitting at any point? When were you worried? When did you get worried?
Unbelievable.
You said 90 seconds, you could do 90 seconds.
I was praying that the minute would be up.
Incredible.
When?
When did you start praying?
Well, when somebody said seven seconds to go, I had to really work for those last seven
seconds.
The last seven are always the hardest seven, that's what they say.
If this were 2020, we would be able to diagnose
that you do not have COVID right now.
Wow, really?
Big Dave.
You guys don't remember when that was a thing?
It was like, if you can hold your breath for 20 seconds,
you don't have COVID.
Really?
How about that?
We all just memory hold it, I get it.
As I said, we are gonna get to Hassan Piker.
We're waiting for Hassan Piker to get here.
Eight hours a day on Twitch, huh? Well, not just eight. Somebody who does more than us. eight hours a day on twitch uh... will not just only does more than us eight hours a day on twitch
twice as much as what we do and uh... the political commentary uh... keeps
giving you like that that it at every day gives you more and more to talk
about it is something that you can
if you have some fluency on the subject matter you can spend eight hours a day
talking about just how weird everything in America has gotten.
But before we get to him, I wanted to ask you guys if anyone has been able to verify whether or not Snoop Dogg is being paid an exorbitant amount of money for being the Olympic mascot the way he has been being around everything and helping
peacock sell these games in a way that was uh... that wasn't is smart i would
assume that you would have to pay
uh... a substantive amount of money to get snoop dog
to be this kind of symbol
uh... and salesman
on behalf of everything that peacock is doing to garner attention and i i told
you when i was talking about LeBron James
and the marvel of what he is doing at his age, Stu Gatz,
that LeBron James is the second most improbable story
to see at the center of these Olympics from America
at his age.
Snoop Dogg from a murder trial, his 30 years of relevance
is, I dare say, unlike anyone in the history of hip-hop and yeah hip-hop is you
know 50 years old there are plenty of guys in their 50s but nobody gets to be this like he has
done commercials like with the uh I think it was like about Lea Iacocca and AOL and I was surprised
to see that like 15 and 20 years ago to see him go and be that mainstream for him to cross over from hip-hop and
summit i mean when you come from death rose to got some done
ice cube has it has been in and out of
public uh...
favor because
his his politics in assortment of things people find objectionable nobody gets
to be beloved this long from hip-hop and go from murder trial to this kind of
olympic mainstream it's just a super unusual story the reports are and this
is according to four of magazine is that snoop is getting paid five hundred
thousand dollars every single day plus expenses. He's worth every penny. Can you tell me
when you say Forbes is reporting that because the way that I had heard that
reported I did not like the credibility of the report. Claimed he heard it from
an NBC executive? That one? Well who claimed they heard it? Overheard it.
Who? Henry McNamara, one of the world's most influential young
entrepreneurs according to Forbes, claimed he heard from an mbc executive
that's it was getting paid a half million dollars a day uh... okay so that
the clinton's the report that feels like what you gave it to forbes and you gave
it the weight of forbes after we had a conversation about the credibility of a
dion sanders story and it was just over her d at the olympics by an entrepreneur is different than forbes is reporting it
uh... that's fair my apologies to forbes i i just don't know how much that would
actually be worth because i would imagine snoop dog would not be cheap
some people have theorized
that this is just part of a promotional effort because he's part of the voice
show correct which is also very popular.
And so I don't know what any of this would cost, but I would pay a substantive amount
to have the whiff, I just can't believe I'm saying any of this, the whiff of this marijuana
smoke around my Olympic events.
Like the idea that he has outlasted the stigma
the american public stigma
of just met their line murder
of murder accusation of murder trial
the stigma of marijuana that he's outlasted it
it's one of the greatest stories in the history of american pop culture no joke
that this guy gets to fit in in every environment he goes to whether it's at
at a fencing event or whether it's running with death row. Well
Flavor Flav is also charged with attempted murder and he's there too, so.
Right. This guy Henry McNamara said that he sat next to the NBC executive at
dinner. I mean, this is reporting. This is a good time to mention to our audience,
don't commit murder because if you're innocent.
Good advice.
Like look what you can become.
Just to be clear also,
cause there's a little bit of confusion there.
I think marijuana is not as serious as murder.
Cause there seem to be like things that we've forgiven.
It seemed like we were putting them
on a level playing field.
I don't think that they are equal.
Well, one of them he was not guilty of,
one of them he is guilty of.
Murder, not guilty. Marijuana smoke, 30 plus years. I mean life in hip-hop is always about, you know,
tearing down preconceived notions. It was the great Dan Lebatard who once said you got to party
for your right. To fight. Yeah. That's a public, somewhere in there was a public enemy song that I that I was mixing it up with because they
Know they did they did they have a lyric somewhere fight nice. I'm a fire party for your right fight the power like that
Yeah, no, I'll trust you on this one trying to sound older, huh?
I'm gonna find it
I'm gonna find it. I am. I'm going to find what it is that I was mixing that up with before the end of the show and perhaps as soon as we find Hassan Piker as well. We're
gonna get to Stugatz's weekend observations here at some point as well, but I have still
not gotten... We started the show here and I'm scared this late in the show to go to this because
when we started the show here it ended in a place where greg and still got
were deciding that they get to decide who's american low-level well we never
said that i said it yet but all of us at all from still got his unpopular opinion
yesterday that got him in trouble with a lot of people because you went after
simone byles on greg cody also also has some Simone Biles opinions that I believe to be
controversial. I don't know if you're gonna wade into the waters as deep as
Dugats is, are you? Well I just want to quote something she tweeted and it'll
always be Twitter to me not X. Simone Biles said, and by guys I assume she
meant fans and media.
She said, you guys really need to stop asking athletes what's next after they win a medal
at the Olympics.
Simone, you're in a profession that attracts attention and publicity.
You're the GOAT.
You're the all-time greatest gymnast.
You've hinted that you may continue not retire and be back for the l.a. games in twenty twenty eight
but you haven't made that definitive
it would be negligent
for fans not to wonder and for a median not to ask
what's next
so don't go on twitter and and act a great umbrage in insult that anyone
would ask
you
what's next
when that's one of the big stories in sports if you're still doing this at
thirty one
and and still winning another gold medal and and the go to them continues for
four more years
huge story everybody wants to know
someday people will stop caring about sim Biles. Don't hurry that day
Hmm Jessica has dropped her head in her hands. I'm off the hook it seems
There is great shame all around us now and on top of that you're breathless Oh, I regret not going to a meet immediately going to you after were after you had held your breath
I could hold my breath for a minute and a half now if I wanted to.
Oh boy.
Let's do that.
Let's do that now.
You're still reeling.
Jessica, why did your head drop into your hands?
It was like such a profound take from Greg.
I admired how seriously you took that.
Gold medal for Greg today on takes.
It's, you know, it's a take.
What can I tell you?
Do you guys want to hear any of Public Enemies' party
for your right to fight?
No, thank you.
I have it right here on my phone.
No? You guys are good.
I think we don't want our YouTube video taken down for that.
Or to see you try to find a way to play music off your phone.
I doubt that you found the song.
I did find it, I got it right here.
Oh, we don't?
Yeah, but not the traditional way. What do you mean not the song. I did find it. I got it right here. Oh, he does? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But not the traditional way.
Yes.
What do you mean, not the traditional way?
Go to iTunes.
Just sing it like we did with Lucy.
Well, I had to find it first.
I wasn't too.
Go to iTunes?
I wasn't too.
Go to Spotify.
Go anywhere.
Come a few bars.
Yeah.
Ha ha ha.
iTunes.
Go to iTunes and load up your shuffle.
It felt old as it came out of my mouth.
I got to be on iTunes.
But Mike, look where he went.
I mean, Google.
I just, I was just looking for the lyrics, you guys.
I was looking for, you can't make fun of me
and come at me with iTunes.
And then you guys missed what Cody did,
which is hum a few tunes.
No, a few bars.
That's the expression, hum a few bars.
Exactly.
Bars of what?
Hassan Piker's here. People don't hum anymore. A lot has changed over the years, audience.
As you've been so kind in pointing out, my shirt size has changed over the years.
Look, I started this show as a 19-year-old boy, and now I'm a 38-year-old dad.
But along the way, one staple of my life has been Miller Lite, and those of you that have
been listening to us know this.
I've been a Miller Lite guy since day one. I've been pretty honest about
that. So let's get down to the nitty gritty. What is the best thing about the original
Light Beer Miller Lite? It sparked this debate way back in 1975, and we still haven't settled
it. For me, it's the undebatable quality. It's great taste. And it's less filling. Whether
you're out with your friends, at a game, at a bar, in the shower, Miller Lite
delivers Miller Time every time.
You don't have to choose what's best about Miller Lite.
It has great taste and is less filling.
Tastes like Miller Time.
To get Miller Lite delivered right to your door, visit MillerLite.com slash Dan, or you
can find it pretty much anywhere that sells beer.

name.
Correct.
You know, all that jazz, you know, you don't gotta do that.
You just do a generic call.
Oh, that would be a great call.
Up and away.
That kind of swing, that kind of thing.
This is the Don LeBathard Show with the StuGats.
He's one of the most influential political commentators out there. Really is hard to find anyone that breaks things down, complicated things down better.
He streams every day, as I told you, for eight hours, and the news every day seems to provide
for you even more than eight hours of information.
There are a number of things I wanted to talk to you, but thank you for joining us, Hassan.
I appreciate your patience there. Thank you for being on with us
Um, thank you for having me. I hope you guys can hear me. Well, uh, I am currently at a basketball
I'm currently at a park
This is uh, usually my basketball hour
And it's the it's the one time of the day that I have a little bit of time to myself where I take my dog
out and I actually play
Uh, you know run some drills that I found on tik tok I have a little bit of time to myself where I take my dog out and I actually play,
you know, run some drills that I found on TikTok
so that I can stay competitive
with these young guys out here.
It's a 33 year old man.
So I apologize for the backdrop
if it's a little weird and unorthodox.
Hassan, did you ever get those shoes
that were designed to help you jump higher?
Ooh, the e-space shoes.
Yeah, the ones that had like little platforms
at the bottom.
You ever had those for your basketball training or no?
No, I never did.
But I was talking to a content creator.
I was on the creator league
that RDC put together,
creator league at DreamCon in Austin a couple of weeks back.
And I was talking to one of the basketball content creators
out there by the name of YPK Ray.
And he was telling me about how he has like this insole now.
The kids, they have this insult they put on their shoes that makes them, makes
them jump. And no, I got my dusty Kyrie Irvings here.
I got a bunch of them when, when he got, when, when they, when they canceled the
shoes, I went and bought a bunch of them on clearance.
Cause I, when I wear wear I'm a big boy so
if a shoe works for me it's like you know I wore hyper dunks for like 10 years after they were
discontinued and you know it happened to be that his shoes they fit really well for me so I went
and bought a bunch of them off clearance. Any parallels between you trying to keep up with
the young man in a young man's game and you in the content game trying to keep up with
everybody during a crazy political time?
Uh, not necessarily. I'm, I'm, I'm a bit of a dynamo.
I'm honestly pretty solid when it comes to my endurance and on the court as well
for a 33 year old guy. I work out quite frequently,
but as far as like the content sphere goes, I'm a one man operation.
So no, I don't see Jake Taffer doing eight hour streams every day.
That's who I'm competing with.
Or when it comes down to it, if I look at the content space,
it's like I'm never going to be able to do the stuff that Kai Sinatra's doing.
He's just an entirely different playing field.
He's a very entertaining guy, I love him.
He's great.
But my lane is politics.
I try to merge the two.
I try to merge the entertainment
and the politics stuff together.
And I hope I do a decent job at it.
But overall, there aren't that many hours in the day
for me to be able to do even
more than I'm doing currently.
We are getting you on here before you are starting your work day, so I don't know if
anyone's heard what your thoughts are on Kamala Harris naming Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as
her VB candidate.
What are your thoughts there?
Oh, I love it.
I'm very excited about Walz.
Walz is a fighter. He's done a lot with a
very slim majority in the state legislature in Minnesota. And I've been, you know, I've
been writing for the Democratic Party in Minnesota for quite some time. So I'm actually very
excited about Waltz. I definitely think he was a better choice than Shapiro. A lot of
people immediately think, oh, is it because of Israel or whatever? No, like Waltz. I definitely think he was a better choice than Shapiro. A lot of people immediately
think, oh, is it because of Israel or whatever? No, like Waltz is also, you know, going to be
pro-Israel. Most Democrats are, in general, that's American foreign policy. My frustration
with Josh Shapiro was actually because he was pro-school vouchers. He worked with the Republicans
because he was pro-school vouchers. He worked with the Republicans in the state
when he became the governor to push for a school voucher program.
And I think that that's very right-wing for me.
I don't really like that.
I think that immediately it spells that you're anti-teachers union.
And that's a pretty solid, pretty important constituency for the Democratic Party.
Tim Walsh, on the other hand, is a teacher.
So I'm very excited to hear how he will communicate a more progressive agenda for the Democratic
Party.
I think they actually have listened to the voters.
They've been doing a lot of good things these past this past month, especially they've done.
They've almost become this competent party that I never really experienced. I never
really thought they could be, you know, it's been shocking.
And the Republicans are kind of flailing around because they
also don't know how to to deal with a competent party. I think
they've gotten too used to, you know, running, running against
someone like Joe Biden, I think they got too used to running
against unpopular candidates and unpopular
policies in general. So we'll see what happens. Hassan, you mentioned popularity and I've noticed
that recently, at least in terms of eyes and attention and maybe word on the street, you're
a bit of an outlier in that you're more progressive but you're sharing those progressive views on platforms like
Twitch and other various accounts of social media.
I've noticed there's a bit of a sea change from just four years ago in the last election
cycle.
It almost seems like there's a conservative concerted effort to appeal to IG lifestyle
pages.
And we saw Trump on a highly popular Twitch stream yesterday.
What do you make of this very clear strategy from the GOP?
Yeah, I think they kind of lucked into that.
I mean, obviously Donald Trump
is always going to be doing stuff like that,
regardless that's unique to Donald Trump.
JD Vance tries to do it with the note boys,
it's not going to be the same, obviously.
But in terms of the Republican party
kind of leaning into this lifestyle stuff, you're absolutely on the money on this.
I think the Manosphere grew quite a lot organically online, and this kind of pendulum swing occurs regardless.
You know, you've got a Democratic president in charge.
All of a sudden, people are going to go back to the regular old culture war issues.
Some might call immediately as soon as Joe Biden became president. I was like, we're going back to the culture war issues. Something I called immediately, as soon as Joe Biden became president,
I was like, we're going back to the culture war stuff.
It's gonna turn into like Gamergate era politics.
Everyone is gonna be talking about trans people,
this trans people, that, you know,
things that actually don't,
things that actually don't touch on the pocketbooks
of any Americans.
It's not exactly a kitchen table issue.
We are very dominated by right-wing culture war narratives
in this country.
And I think it stems from the inability
of the Democratic Party in actually addressing
some of the economic problems
that American families are facing.
And their lack of interest in actually doing something bold
and brave in terms of like declaring a bold
and brave progressive agenda, an economic agenda.
Now, there are some good things that the Democratic Party did, even under Joe Biden, despite the
fact that I'm very critical of Joe.
And I think they should continue along with that so that we can move away from these,
like, I can't believe I'm going to use the term that the Democratic Party is now using,
but weird, these weirdos who are constantly focusing on like really
marginal, really silly, really inconsequential things making it like the primary concern of
every single person. There's like this sweatiness to it, there's this nervousness to it, this anxiety
to it. It's like frequently imagining that there's like probably a trans person
behind every corner like it's like I don't get it man just like let people
live. I care about expanding child tax credits. I care about eviscerating child
poverty. I care about health care. I don't know like these things are gonna
help you too. Like I'm pretty sure most Americans would agree at the end of the
day if the Democratic Party actually ran on that
instead of constantly picking up a dare I say cowardly posture and and
Trying to always run defense after the Republicans end up dominating the political conversation
In every issue whether it be the crime hysteria whether it be the immigrant crime hysteria and the panic that they cultivated, instead of capitulating to
the right-wing framing, if they actually ran on very progressive policies and
said like, do you want health care or not? Like, what are we talking about here? I
think more Americans will be on board.
It seems unusual, given the the depth of the things that plague America,
that what is working now is the very accurate,
you're weird, running on a platform
of they're weird over there.
Yeah, but it's true though, this is true.
It's honestly, like, I think it's much better
than just talking about how like scary they are,
how authoritarian the Republicans are.
It's like, do they present a genuine
threat to American democracy? Potentially. I think so. Definitely. But that actually
gives the Republican Party like a sense of power, I think. And this actually deflects,
this actually neutralizes that power and just says, no, dude, you're weird.
Like you're, you're odd for hyper focusing on this sort of stuff. And I think that that is the,
I mean, that's something I've been doing for years. I call it hog watch. I'm fascinated with
Republicans in general. I love, I love my countrymen. I love watching them in the wild. You know,
I love, I love watching the way they operate. I've been doing this for years and years and years and I've noticed it like
You know, they've gotten increasingly more nutty on the timeline, especially with like social media becoming more right-wing with like Elon Musk
Purchasing Twitter. I heard you say you will never call X. I agree. I
Will never call X either Elon Musk purchasing Twitter making it more right-wing like making it overtly more right wing and putting so much like
violence on the timeline too, above all else.
I think that this has created this false sense that Republican policies are actually more popular than they are.
They're not. Like most people don't care. Most people have never met a trans person.
They don't think about trans people all that much.
They probably might think like, oh, it's a little weird.
Like, I don't really understand this trans stuff.
I thought it was only two genders, whatever.
I'm moving on.
I care about being able to pay for my groceries, but there's a lot of people on
the Republican party, especially in the commentary sphere that have just broken
their minds on this issue where that's all they care about.
They're like, I don't care about anything.
I wanna make sure that we're melting
like this 0.1% of the population.
Wait, I wanna do harm to the 0.1% of the population.
It's like, dude, that's odd.
Like, why do you care?
You care more about trans stuff than trans people do.
You know, I have trans friends.
I have plenty of trans members in my community.
They don't think about the latest and greatest in trans technology or trans culture in the same way that like a ben ship hero type does.
It's like it's so strange. Like let people live.
It's an easy winning position for your base if you're always
perpetually focused on demonizing others so that you could protect white power you so that so that anyone who's different from the norm
can't get to a quality
yeah no absolutely
i think it is
i think it is a very
listen children yelling in the park
and i think it is a very
uh... you're right i mean it's it's a old narrative is a cliche
they do it all the time they used to do it for gay people in the 90s.
And then, you know, that became legal and normal with gay marriage.
Then they had to move on to something else. They had to move on to trans people.
And now the narrative is exactly still the same.
Like, for trans people, they say the exact same stuff that they used to say about gay people in the 90s.
But ultimately, I think you have to set up a counter to that.
You know that this is going to be a talking point.
And if you're the Democratic Party, you got to give the right
something to sink their teeth into, right?
You can't be constantly in a defensive posture against the right.
You actually have to go forward with a bold agenda so they can call you a
socialist. And then you have to talk about why that bold agenda is not necessarily
bad. And it's actually good for Americans. Right? Like free lunch and free breakfast
at schools. Tim Walz policy, right? He passed it. He passed it in Minnesota. It was phenomenally
popular. You think Republicans don't want their children
to get free school lunch?
Of course they do.
Of course they like that.
It's ridiculous.
I mean, it's incredibly too,
it's entirely too costly to take care of children
in this country.
Many people can't even think about that idea
because they just don't have enough money.
We have two income households that still can't take care
of children and have children.
Child care is entirely too costly.
One aspect of that is free school lunches.
That's a good policy.
Let the Republicans yell about how that's actually socialism
and how that's bad.
If you put forward a bold progressive agenda,
if you actually get some done on the progressive side,
sorry for cursing, I don't know if I'm allowed to do that
it's fine go ahead in front of the kids yeah yeah they can't hear me it's all
good but if you yeah if you get if you get stuff done Republicans are going to
inevitably try to position themselves against that stuff. And these things are very popular ideas that are helpful for all Americans, right?
So that's part of the reason why I think it's, I mean, I fall to the Democratic Party a little
bit for where we've gotten to in terms of the discourse here, but it's not like Republicans
just started yelling about trans people.
It's not like Republicans just started saying that like immigrants are doing crime and they're rapists and they're drug dealers or whatever.
They've been saying that because they know that they have to,
they have to actively campaign every day for four years and not every four years.
Whereas Democrats on the other hand only campaign every four years when they remember they have to run for office.
And then they're like, whoa, whoa, this stuff, this immigration stuff, maybe it's gotten
a little too out of hand.
Maybe the Republicans are right, which is the dumbest thing you can do.
I've said this before.
It's like you got abortion, you have democracy.
Those are like two major things.
Now with Kamala Harris, obviously being the candidate and
not Joe Biden, you also have age, you have instability of all these stuff, all these
things.
You can also talk about how progressive Kamala Harris is in comparison to Donald Trump.
These are all in the pocket for you.
This is your strong suit, right?
Play to your strengths.
Never talk about immigration. Never bring
that up. Joe Biden should have never done the right wing immigration bill. They should
have never capitulated to right wing framing on immigration. Democrats historically have
always done things like this. They always tacked to the right, but they always end up
losing. They always end up losing because that's their strong suit. That's what they're
good at. That's what the Republicans are good at. I don't know why you would like if you're
LeBron, you don't have to play chess. That's what the Republicans are good at. I don't know why you would like if you're LeBron
You don't have to play chess you could do the dunk competition against like a grandmaster
You know what I mean?
I don't understand why Democrats are like I'm LeBron one of the greatest athletes of all time and no I'm actually gonna play chess
Instead of the dunk competition against the grandmaster like like the car or Magnus Carlson or whatever. It just doesn't make sense
Can you explain this part to me though?
Because Kamala touted that right wing immigration bill
in Atlanta last week too.
Like why is it that that seems to be the point
that both parties can agree on?
I mean, the stuff with the deportation,
it's a bit crazy.
A bit crazy, I mean, it's very crazy.
And Donald Trump is talking about Eisenhower.
He's talking about a word I can't say because it's a slur in the aftermath of the Cere program
where we deported 1.3 million Mexicans from this country, including Mexican Americans
as a matter of fact.
Not just people from, you know, not people whose nation of origin is Mexico.
We did that. We did that during World War One.
We did that in the aftermath of World War Two.
And Donald Trump's touting that as a popular policy.
And it's got like 60 percent approval right now.
And a big part of the reason is because there's no counter messaging
against that from the Democratic front.
They have completely been captured by the right wing framing on the matter.
And obviously, it's very racist, very fascist. They have completely been captured by the right-wing framing on the matter.
And obviously it's very racist, very fascist.
I mean, it's just like straight Nazi Germany stuff.
No one is thinking about like what 20 million, let's say there's 20 million migrants in this
country that are undocumented.
How do you, how exactly are you going to do the mass deportation?
You're going to go start going into brown neighborhoods with BORTC, with the American Gestapo, Special Weapons and Tactics for the
Customs and Border Patrol, in what the ACLU calls Constitution Free Zones, and you're going to
start doing door knocking operations and cast a dragnet over brown communities and then put them in CICOT style like in El Salvador,
like mass detention centers, mass deportation facilities.
You're gonna put them in front of one judge 200 at a time
because there's 20 million people.
That's a lot of people, right?
You have to make this process as expedient as possible.
So now you're putting 200 people at a time
in front of a judge that is declaring them to be illegal.
Then you have to put them in concentration camps. I mean that's just straight Nazi Germany stuff and I don't think anybody is
talking about it on those terms which I find to be abhorrent. I find it to be morally repugnant.
But to have agreement with like the neither one of the parties is being reasonable here. It's just
everyone's getting dragged over to a place that like, I mean, what is that?
How is it that we've arrived there?
Like that, that is not anyone's idea of America in principle.
I know.
And Americans are actually not of one mind on this.
Immigration historically is one issue where Americans are like consistently both very
sympathetic to migrants on and also very
hit larry and in the same breath like these are if you look at focus groups on immigration
you'll be shocked like a person will unironically say i want mass deportations of all migrants
living on u.s soil and in the next question in the next breath we'll say something along the
lines of yeah we should do amnesty actually for everyone that's been here.
And it's like, how can you have these two opinions?
That's because the democratic party is too scared.
They refuse to actually have any sort of counter messaging on this front.
And, and they just capitulate the right wing framing every single time. They did this with the crime panic too.
It's completely born out of hysteria.
It's straight hit larian on the Republican side. And
what's happening in America right now is not dissimilar to the rise of Hitler in Nazi Germany
in the sense that liberals also capitulated to in an effort not to adequately put up a strong
fight and align with the communists and align with the trade unionists, align with the socialists
against the rise of Nazis and the rise of fascism.
In Germany, they, you know, they said, no, this guy is working within the
confines of German politics. It's fine.
And we all know what happened afterwards. It's called the ratchet effect.
The Democrats regularly play the role of almost controlled opposition on a lot of
issues. This one being one of them. It's the same with the bipartisan consensus on American foreign policy.
This is basically, which I would consider to be fascist in general, but no one really
cares about that.
And this is fascism inward, like bringing fascism back domestically, having concentration
camps for people that don't look like you, that people whose immigration
status could be quickly and expediently dealt with and turned into documented U.S. citizens
who are already participating in the American economy in incredibly meaningful ways, people
who statistically are less likely to do crimes than natural born U.S. citizens. A fact that
Democrats should be saying every single day of the week, they
should be put in that front of center.
It's just completely made up.
This hysteria about migrant crime is completely made up.
Crime is down.
Crime is down in America across the board.
Crime is down.
It readjusted back to the lowest levels that it was at pre-pandemic, and it's only going
down further and further.
So the idea that we have tens, you know, tens of millions of
migrants crossing the border, and they're doing crimes is so
silly. It's like, okay, migrant, migrant detentions are up. Crime
is down. So what's going on? Is it that they're just like doing
less crime? Is that what it is? Well, turns out that is actually
the case. All available empirical data on the matter
shows undocumented immigrants are responsible
for less crime per capita
than natural born US citizens are.
I'll give you another fact.
If you were to listen to the Republicans,
the Republicans constantly talk about,
sorry, my dog is actually sitting.
Hey, Taya, sit, baby, sit.
That's a good dog.
We haven't heard that dog once.
What kind of dog are we talking about here?
That's a good dog.
Good dog.
I'll show you. You're holding the camera the whole time? I'll I'll show you. Yeah, I'll show you her in a second. So the one thing that
what was I talking about? You were saying you were going to give us one good fact. You have one good
fact that we mentioned Hitler a lot too. Oh, I did mention Hitler a lot because that's unfortunately
that's where we're going right now. And we're bouldering towards that.
So, like I said, Democrats should constantly be talking about the fact that there is no
readily available empirical data to suggest that immigrants are doing more crime.
As a matter of fact, the only available empirical data shows the exact opposite of that reality.
So it's secure Republican hysteria, Republican panic, and it's really racist panic.
One other thing I will tell you is this.
Donald Trump talks about immigrants are responsible for a hundred thousand
hundreds of thousands of deaths every year. That's what he says. He says that at
his rallies. He says that as the RNC. I've never heard from a Democrat be like
yo hold on what are we talking about here? That seems like a big old deal. I've
never heard a Democrat go that seems insane to say let's take a look at the
data. Well I did look at the data. Customs and Border Patrol data shows. Do you want to know
how many murders undocumented migrants committed this past fiscal year?
Yes, I would, because I did see what John Oliver did on what you're saying there, that
migrant crime is a total fiction. There is nothing to support it. It's just a made-up
phrase. Yeah, it's completely made up. You want to know? I'll tell you what it is. I looked at Crime is a total fiction. There is nothing to support it. It's just a made-up phrase
Yeah, it's completely made up. You want to know I'll tell you what it is. I looked at the data
23 so that means and we've definitely heard
23 Horrific gruesome things that an undocumented citizen has done in this country
So that means that every single instance of a murder
Committed by an undocumented migrant was
heavily publicized in this country in an effort to make you think like they're
doing crimes every day. This doesn't mean that like undocumented migrants are
responsible for zero crimes. Of course not. Everyone, they're human beings. Some
human beings are gonna do good things. Some human beings are gonna do bad
things. We're all a victim of our own circumstances. But you have to look at like if this is how to deal with crime
You have to look at the entire group of people and see if they're responsible for an overwhelming
Share of the crime and it turns out they're responsible for less less crime. It's actually
Insane that we have this conversation Donald Trump tries to link the undocumented
Like the undocumented murder rate. He tries to claim
that it's 100,000 because he tries to claim that it's fentanyl. It's actually the fentanyl
that they're bringing over the border. Another total fabrication, completely made up. 90%
of drugs that are coming across the border are apprehended. This is the Department of
Homeland Security's own data. This is not woke Marxist Hassan making thisended. This is the Department of Homeland Security's own data. This is not, you know, woke Marxist Hassan making this up. This is the Department of Homeland Security.
Okay, so according to the DHS data, and this was the same under Donald Trump,
it's the same under Joe Biden, it'll be the same under Kamala Harris or whoever becomes president.
The Department of Homeland Security's own data shows 90% of the drugs apprehended at the border
are not actually border are not actually
like border crossers, right?
It's not a law abiding abuela from Guatemala who walked all the way to America or tried
to cross the Rio Grande River like carrying bags of fentanyl over the border.
That would be insane.
That's an unsustainable business.
That's an unsustainable operation.
You know who's actually trafficking the drugs?
White American citizens that are crossing over the border after getting their cars chopped
up by the cartel. Of course, 90% of the drugs are apprehended at regular points of entry,
according to the Department of Homeland Security's data, and more than 90% of those apprehended
are American citizens because they're the ones who are less likely to get stopped.
Like we're the Millers.
That's it.
This guy is full of ****. He doesn't know at all all of the fentanyl carrying abuelas
we have in Miami.
And you were, you look like my grandma.
You look like Miami.
You were briefly.
I lived there.
You were briefly in Miami.
I think he's there now.
I've been to that park.
I know that park.
That looks a little like South Beach,
but it is not that park.
I think it's Coral Springs. It's not the park in South Beach
We've got a couple of questions on the way out. We've got a couple of questions
We need to see the dog and we need to know what kind of basketball drills you were doing. Yeah
Um, I follow a bunch of tiktokers. This is my dog
First of all, she is this is Kaia. That's a good girl. She's it. She's a very good girl. She's the best girl
She's a little baby still she is only around 18 months and
So but she's very well-trained. She's a big dog. She's a she's a mutt. She's a mix between
chow chow, Tibetan Mastiff and
a San Bernard
That's number one
Number two, what kind of drills do I do?
Honestly, it's been a while.
I haven't played organized basketball at all
in many, many years since high school, as a matter of fact.
That's multiple decades at this point, almost.
So I just look at TikTok,
whatever pops up on my TikTok feed, I see like, you know, there's
those guys good drills.
I post good drills.
I forget what that dude's name is, but you know, they'll always have some drills on there.
And then I try to do some of that stuff so that I can be a little bit more explosive
in my old age.
Because unfortunately, I'm a little too slow.
I'm six four, 230 pounds.
Six four.
And yeah, I'm entirely too slow.
You know, this is like, what is that?
That's like a shooting guard status in the NBA, right?
Yeah.
Steve Kerr was 6'5".
He's gonna post you up.
Steve Kerr would have post you up at 6'5".
Can you dunk?
That's what I'm saying.
I used to be able to, my knees are pretty bad.
Come on, give it a try, go.
That's why he's giving the answers.
I wear knee braces. I can't
