The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Hour 2: The Stolen Take

Episode Date: May 13, 2024

Roy Wood Jr. has arrived wearing a very nice Expos jacket to discuss the Netflix is a Joke Festival and how Netflix is encouraging people to see live comedy, polling around Donald Trump, the courtroom artist as a job, and how the history of interracial rap battles informs his "semi-sure bet of the week." Plus, Tony Kornheiser is late to being mad at the WNBA, and did Stugotz steal a take from Jay Williams or did Jay Williams steal the take from Stu? Learn more about your ad choices.

You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Never before. Head to Tim's and get yours today at participating restaurants in Canada. What happens when 20 extremely athletic Canadians who thrive on competition and won't settle for less than number one find themselves on a team? Taking on jaw-dropping obstacles all across Canada is one thing. Working together on a team with some pretty big personalities is another. It's a new season of Canada's Ultimate Challenge and sparks are gonna fly. New episode Sundays. Watch free on CBC Gem. This is the Don LeBattor Show with the Stoogats Podcast. Can I have that jacket? Oh baby. Hell no. You almost got it autographed by Tim Rains, but it took too long.

Rock. You do not have a better jacket than that, do you Roy Wood Jr.? No one does. You don't have. That X-Bow's jacket is old school and wonderful and you must wear that with a great deal of pride. Here's the problem though when you wear this jacket real expo fans come up to you and try to have statistical conversations that I'm not prepared to have and all I can go is yeah man 94 would have been a year but that's right man damn. That's all you need, Roy.

There's nothing worse than wearing a jacket of a team you don't know nothing about. I'm a Cubs fan. Hey man, Larry Walker, mm-hmm, he will, him good. You just need a handful of Moises Salou stats or something, but you can't even fake it, huh? Bro, I can't do it. I saw Marquise Grissom at a golf thing in Birmingham

a couple weeks ago, and even then, he was like, oh, that's a nice jacket. I was like, Cubs? Yes, Cubs. I'm like, please, Father God, don't ask me about anything that happened in Montreal during your time there. Let's just talk about the Braves.

Good catch with the Braves. Yeah, you caught that ball. Roy, listen, just say you hate David Sampson okay like when someone brings up the X-Bow he killed baseball Montreal just so you know just say you don't like David Sampson okay yeah yeah that's fine it's like get punched in the face by Sampson when I'm down in Miami somewhere you shouldn't be making short jokes at anyone's expense. You're not very much taller than David Samson. But I'm taller. He's got shows coming up next month

in Bloomington, Indiana and St. Louis and in Chicago. Get your tickets at RoywoodJr.com. You were at the Netflix is a Joke Fest, may still be for all I know. How much fun was all of that? It was a good time. I think they just wrapped up last weekend. Yo, to be able to thank you to everybody in LA that came out. But I think also the cool thing with the Netflix is a joke festival for comedians, it's kind of like a class reunion. So, you know, you see

the Chappells and the John Stewart and the Cat Williams and then Kevin Hart, we had a nice brunch at a Ted Sarandos' home. I guess it was, I don't know, some rich person's front yard. We were in there. And so we had a chance also to see Sinbad, who has had some health issues over the last couple years, and they did a wonderful benefit show

for his health fund as well. So all in all, it was a good time just for me to be able to meet some of the OGs in the game. I saw you in a photograph that had more great comedians than I've ever seen in one photograph together. Is that a common thing? Because it was just a lot of you in one place and I don't know how many photographs

like that have ever been taken. In the modern day, not many, if any, with that volume of comics, like that legendary Harlem photo with all of the Harlem musicians during the Harlem Renaissance era. Not ever. I mean, the only other festival we've had up until this was the Montreal Comedy Festival, the Just For Laughs Festival, which just bankrupted last year ironically. So for Netflix to kind of slide in and have an opportunity to celebrate

comedy at its biggest scale, all the way down to the smaller clubs. I mean, you're talking about legends all the way down to, you know, open micers who all get an opportunity to be seen by industry. And then of course, the Tom Brady roast. Like you're not going to have that unless you have every great comic in town on the set. Like it's really like, it's the we are the world of comedy where the we are the world tape and only happened because there was like a bunch of, listen at me, I watched one documentary.

You ever talk to somebody who watches one doc? And they act like, I read a book about it. No, you didn't. You watched the doc like everybody else done. But it was because there was a music award show in town and all the stars were already here, so F it, let's do a song. So I think that's kind of probably part of why

the Tom Brady rose was so star-studded too. How stressful was it choosing where to stand in that photo? Because I was stressed out for a lot of people in that photo. I was just like, if I was there, it would be just so stressful. I'm not stressed at all. Anything with more than five people, I stand to the edge of all photos

because the center is where the scandals be. Like, if you ever like, watch, like, somebody in the center of that photo has done something that is not public yet, and I don't want to be the person next to that person. It's Bert Kreischer, shirtless Bert Kreischer. You know, it's Kreischer. He's right in the middle of the photo smiling.

Bro, I don't fool with the center of photographs ever. Put me on the edge, that way I know I get cropped out in your documentary, I'm not gonna be in it. Because whenever you're grinning next to the person, they just go, ain't that your boy? You went with the boy. You just took one picture with Trump accidentally in 1984 and now 50 years later, that's your boy, ain't it? Do you support his policies?

It's like, man, I should have stood on the edge. Why aren't the potentially scandalous people the ones on the outside? My cousin's grandmother used to tell her grandkids, boyfriends, and girlfriends, go stand on the edge of the photo that way when you guys break up, we can just cut you out and still save the photo.

So why is the photographer not doing the same with potentially scandalous people and letting them know, hey, I feel like you may have some stuff come up in the future? Scandalous people wanna be the center of attention. That's why they're always in the middle of the photo. You can't push them off. They have ego.

They want you to know that they're out there and doing the damn thing. Look, man, it's too many scandals and too much dirt coming up about people left and right that I just don't wanna be in nobody's photos no more, man. I'm just, I'm done with it. How's that picture with Diddy working out for you now? Huh?

I'm sure you're glad you took that one, right? It's a dangerous game. It is a picture with Diddy? That's what I'm saying. It's a good theory. You don't know. You don't know, bro. I worked in hip hop radio for 15 years.

Do you know how many pictures I've taken with rappers? I don't know what's gonna happen to me, Dan. So now every photo, I'm on the edge. That was the perfect place. Put me next to Kim Jong, and I think I'm over there with all the Asian comics that came out that day. You mentioned Trump.

I'm pretty sure it's Asuko, it's Kim Jong, there's like, there's a couple, but Jimmy O'Yang, he's over there, man, put me over there in the corner with the no scandal Asian comedians. You mentioned Trump and new polling out today from the New York Times says that he leads Biden in five crucial battleground states. He wins more than 20% of black voters, the highest level of black support for any Republican presidential candidates since the civil rights act of 1964. Is that shocking to you?

Is it shocking that black people are rocking with Trump? At the highest rate since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. What does that mean? Like the polls, like it's like, this is the most black census, freed the slaves. Like that makes it seem like Trump is as good as slavery free Republicans back in the day. I'm not surprised at any of this because we got a lot,

I think we got more single issue voters than we've ever had as a voting populace now. So if you have someone that is just saying the right thing, even if it logically does not make sense yet, you probably could get that person's vote right now. We're so in pain and so fed up with not being serviced as a black people that some of us are just going to go, all right, I'll do anything but this. I'm not surprised by it. I don't necessarily, I think everybody should be doing their homework on

the policies a little bit more. And I think if you do that, you probably would have these candidates more neck and neck than 20% up. Michael Cohen's on the stand. No, I don't agree with it. Michael Cohen's on the stand this week. Do voters care? Do you think they care or is this something that people don't care about because it's not on television

and it's courtroom sketches? I don't think people care. We need cameras back in the courtroom, bro. That's the only way this did. The OJ trial was made because of the video. If there was a sketch of OJ putting the glove on, nobody would have cared. It's gotta be the right circus.

And it's crazy because this is the simplest of all the Trump cases to follow, and we don't care. It's the simplest. Did you pay her or not to shut up after y'all got butt naked? That's literally what it's not hiding holdings and manipulating people and the money and the stocks and where are you hiding the real estate? It's just yeah, did you wear a condom or not? Like it's hilarious. But also sidebar, how is how is courtroom drawer?

How is that still a job? And I'm trying to be respectful when I ask this question. How, there's two jobs that I don't understand how they're still jobs. I'm happy people have a job, but I'm trying to understand in this day and age of cameras, and also just AI, how is person drawing what happened, still a job? Also movie theater ticket ripper.

Why do we still need this person? Who is this person in charge of ripping a sheet of paper in half, and where does the other half of that paper go? Excellent questions that I have not considered until right now. The movie should literally be a boarding pass scan like you get on a flight situation at this point. We don't need ticket.

But theater to to the left. Huh? Well, I can if I can find my airline gate without assistance, I'm pretty sure I can find which one of these theaters got the planet of the eight movie. I'm digressing, but I just I don't. And these drawings aren't always good. And we have to act like it's good because it's the only drawing we have.

Why not have competing drawers in the courtroom? Is there more than- I have to disagree. The Tom Brady courtroom sketch is one of the greatest works of art, I think, of the 21st century. I don't know if you remember that one, but- Because it was terrible.

He looked like a caveman. I remember that. It's, but because it was terrible. He looked like a caveman. I remember that It's only good when it's bad It's hard to explain but if you don't allow cameras in the courtroom, what do you want them to do you want to use artificial? Intelligence to just figure out how to do that. It is one of the most inexplicable, like technology-proof jobs. Like two people who work forever is Courtroom Drawer Person and Vanna White.

And like, just for whatever reason, technology will never eliminate either of those two jobs. And I met Vanna White when I did Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. I said it to her face, it's all respectful. Right. No, get me, Louie. Again, you're hitting him with the look at me, Louie. He doesn't necessarily know the show just because he's mentioning stories from his past.

No one really understands it. What did you make of students walking out of Jerry Seinfeld's graduation speech at Duke this weekend? I don't think it's any different from any of the other protests. The students have a right to do that. The wilder thing is that, I don't know if you saw the footage of it the other protests. The students have a right to do that. The wilder thing is that, I don't know if you saw the footage of it. Seinfeld is like got the smirk the whole time while it's happening, almost as if he's like, Oh yeah, I've expected this. I've, I've anticipated pause for booze within my act.

I think that what all of the protests, what we can't do as grownups is write off young people as just being huffy and not knowing anything. These kids are more plugged in and more educated on topics way faster and sooner than we need it to be. So I think that thinking that they don't have the same scope of world politics as we did when we were at that age, I think we're really, really, really underestimating the value of the youth vote and what their opinions hold.

Howdy folks, it's Mike Ryan and as you know, you're probably a sports fan, you know it's playoff time and you probably have a team that you want to root on and maybe you're like me and you're not a season ticket holder so you miss the first crack at getting tickets so what do you do?

Are the stakes that high that if Angel Reese loses to Kailin Clark, you need to start over again as a race? Stugats! I don't know that we have to necessarily start over, but it might have to be, it will be a black people's meeting, an important one that will be called the next day. Well, we might have to put some things on the agenda and get it off the table. This is the Don LeVar Tar Show with the StuGards.

Before we get to the Drake Kendrick beef, I did want to ask you, and I failed to ask you when you were talking about it before, Netflix bankrolling your industry right now. You mentioned that the Comedy Festival in Montreal had gone bankrupt. What is Netflix doing right now for your industry? Netflix is keeping stand-up comedy at the forefront. My hope is that the other streamers will eventually follow suit. HBO Max has some stuff, excuse me, Max. Now, they still have new stand-up specials and everything, but I think Netflix by volume

is their dominant. Netflix is today what Comedy Central was 20 years ago. When Comedy Central had stand up on almost every night of the week, they had hour specials, they had half hours. I'm old enough to remember when Dane Cook was only doing 20 minutes up in huts and yards in New York City.

So they're integral to getting the industry of stand up comedy relevant in the sense they're integral to getting the industry of standup comedy relevant in the sense that what Netflix does, by putting comedy on television, you're encouraging people to go and see comedy live. Part of what the Netflix is a Joke Festival does, in my opinion, is that it shows a bunch of people all out seeing comedy live. So when these people, no matter who they are,

no matter where they are, where they rank in the game, when they come to your town, you're more inclined to go see them live. The idea of still getting up off your ass and going into a building and buying two drinks still will make sense to the next generation of comedy fans. So, you know, I think that part of it, you know,

we talk about bankrolling, but, you know, the idea of like stand up as a showcasing thing on TV, like evening at the improv or comic view or premium blend, or those shows are gone, where it used to be a 30 minute show with four comics, all doing a couple of minutes a piece. You might get some comedy on Fallon still, you might get some, you know, every now and then on Colbert,

but by and large at volume stand-up comedy is not on TV, on cable the way it was 20 years ago. So if Netflix is gonna flood the block with content, so be it. That's good for my industry and it's good for the comedy clubs. If you wanna get up off your ass and get two drinks and sit in a building in Bloomington, Indiana

or in St. Louis or in Chicago or 30 minutes outside of Chicago, you can get tickets at RoyWoodJr.com and you should do so. He's got me scrolling through all my old photos and I'm deleting a lot of them. Like I'm deleting Sid Rosenberg photos. I mean, one of them's done something, I guarantee you. Oh, he's got a photo from the 80s with O.J. Simpson.

He does, Stu Gutz does. Yeah, and you know what? And if you're the person, and if you go through your photos, and you're the person in the center of most of the photos, I am. It's you. Yeah. The problem is you. You could have deleted the OJ one a while ago.

I should have. You quit The Daily Show about eight months ago. Jon Stewart is three months into his return. He seems to have done good by the ratings. Have you been watching? Do you watch? Yeah, I still watch the show. Funny fact about that Netflix photo,

that was the first time I've seen John since everything changed over or whatever at the show. We had a good quick little chit chat about everything. The ratings are up, the show is relevant, it's an election year, it's an essential program. I still watch it. There's not a lot of places other than Daily Show or John Oliver where I can get the news boiled down

to some degree. I watch Bill Maher when I can. So I still want to be informed. I just didn't want to work in that environment for a little while, because it's too pressure-filled. But in terms of still figuring out what's going on, I'm not going to watch CBS Sunday mornings every week. That's too slow. James Paulie. I mean, I'm a joker too Sunday mornings every week. That's too slow.

I mean, I'm joking too. Oh, come on. I love that stream with little birds. 90 seconds of a stream, a sound of a stream. What is that? It's a bird chirpy. Just here. Here's 90 seconds of serenity

with the world's oldest television program. I'm excited to see what Jon Stewart and him do on the road. John Stewart is at his best when he's like Conan, where you put him out of town, out of his element. And then I think that's where he really like becomes on steroids. So when the daily show goes to the conventions this summer, I think that's when you're really going to see the show hit another level. I am told that you have a theory of diss tracks and how they relate to sports.

I'm very excited about where this might be going because beefs are having a moment. If you throw the Brady roast in with everything that happened here with Drake and Kendrick, Drake's security guard got shot outside his mansion. Another rapper is claiming that Drake allegedly paid him $150,000 for information on Kendrick's fiance. So it is now time, what do we have here in terms of imaging for Roy Wood's semi-sure bed of the week? Semi-sure guaranteed. Oh that's nice music, I appreciate that. A lot of work by our production staff putting together only the finest for you.

You guys need to hire a Metro Boomin' like Kendrick did. We do not have a lot of money for licensing music, and so we just go to a generic bed. You deserve more as someone who has worked at the height of entertainment. This used to be an ad read better. Yes, yes It's not right. We don't have air conditioning. It's not great music. We don't have water is what I use for studio gods Okay, so now It's my job Dan To be responsible and giving your listeners a guaranteed sure sports bet that they can take

to the bank. And I do this using guaranteed data. I've done the analytics on this. Now beef tracks have been the thing. Now what was interesting, I'm going to ask you Dan, what was interesting about the Kendrick v Drake battle to you? Give me one thing that stood out above all. I mean that Kendrick's hate for the essence of Drake seems to be substantive and real that he rains down

Judgment from on high as if he's better than him at everything Correct, but wrong. It's an interracial rap battle. Oh, okay. Let's see what we're gonna do here. All right, let's hear this We have a lot of rap battles in hip-hop But what we don't have on a regular basis is interracial rap battles. So I went back and dug into Craigs and I found out some years of more recent interracial battles in music between artists hating one another.

2013, you had Eminem versus Melly Mill. 2021, you had Tekashi 6ix9ine versus Meek Mill. That's the old Puerto Rican V Black, if you're wondering what Tekashi is. 2018, you got Donald Trump versus Ice Cube. I guess that one didn't really play out on wax, but still a beef nonetheless. 2017, Taylor Swift V Kanye.

Taylor Swift, you know, took a jab at Kanye, one of her records. In 2016, my personal favorite, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj, versus Taylor Swift and Remy Ma. Now, in those same years, we're talking 2016, your NBA champion was the Cleveland Cavaliers. 2017, your champion was the Golden State Warriors. 2018, Golden State Warriors. 2021, the Milwaukee Bucks. 2023, the Los Angeles Lakers.

Was it the Lakers in 23? No. The IST, yeah. The in-season tournament? Yeah. Oh yeah, IST. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. We take that. That plays.

That plays. Okay, that works. You seem to have a factual thing there. Your brain got stuck on a new- This is the almost for sure bet. We got it. Yes. He needed the Lakers, for sure bet. We got it. Yes. He needed the Lakers, it was something.

For a reason. Yes, okay. The semi-sure bet of the week almost guaranteed. Now Dan, about all those NBA champions, what letter is the same in all of those NBA champions? Golden State, Cavaliers, Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks. Is there an A in everything? The letter A.

The letter A. So now, in years that we've had interracial rap battles, you have seen an NBA team with the letter A take home a trophy this year. In this year's NBA playoffs, the team's remaining with an A in their team name. Mavericks, Pacers, Cavaliers. One of those three will be your NBA champion.

Wait a minute. They all, that's just awesome. But none of them are gonna be my NBA champion. Like, you mentioned all the three teams that are not. Are you questioning Roy Wood? Well, I mean, it is semi-sure guaranteed, bad of the week. Are we not in the midst of a current

interracial rap battle? Yes or no? Yes, we are. And when there is an interracial rap battle, does a team with an a win the trophy? Yes or no? That is correct. Yes, okay Mavericks Pacers Cavaliers. Those are your picks Guaranteed Mavericks out the West put that money down right now. Put your house up my house over the maps They're up to what you see Denver Yeah, and and Minnesota has an old sound scared scared money don't make money

But it's not it's not an a in the first name like Minnesota or the tea it's just in don't I said don't stop it stop it Yeah, okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This is the almost for sure Okay, all right. I'm sorry. He doesn't listen well right I, stop it. Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This is the almost for sure. Okay, all right, I'm sorry. He doesn't listen well, Roy. All right, I will stop it. I will tell the audience. Dallas Mavs to the finals. Pacers, Cavaliers, Eastern Conference finals. Put it down.

The NBA's worst nightmare. Okay, it really is. You are wishing ill upon the NBA. I will tell the people again, RoywoodJr.com is where you go next month, Bloomington, Indiana, St. Louis, and Chicago. Thank you, Roy. Always appreciate the time, sir.

I don't feel like y'all appreciate the knowledge that I bring to this program, but you know. Why? No, it's good. It's good knowledge. We didn't respect it with good music. We got it. We have to.

You have worked in the highest realms of entertainment comedy on television. Turning it louder. Does it make it better? It doesn't make it better. Making it official. It does make it better. All right, boys. See ya.

Hey guys, Buddy Sean Hanneman died. Hold on, hold on.

And maybe the greatest coach to never win a Super Bowl. OK, wait a minute. Let's just, everybody, let's just settle down. Let's all settle down. Hey, do you hear? This is the Dan LeVatar Show with Stu Gatz. It's interesting to see Stugatz the rush to cover the WNBA better than it's been covered as you see that customers, if you've got eyeballs, you will get better opportunities and ESPN

is going to put on an event around Caitlin Clark's WNBA debut. They're going to cover it in a big fashion, the way they would cover WNBA finals level production setup. Tony Kornheiser was complaining the other day on Pardon the Interruption that the WNBA is wasting a Caitlin Clark opportunity because he couldn't find the game anywhere he was having trouble Wilbon had told him that he's got to have the WNBA pass and the quote from Kornheiser is it was unwatchable by me I couldn't

find it anywhere Mike you told me during the game that it was only available if you had the WNBA pass I said, that's insane. What are you doing? This is the most popular athlete America people want to see her every time she's on television the ratings spike You have to put her out there for free. What is the WNBA doing? It's a terrible marketing blunder You don't do this to Caitlin Clark. You make sure you let her be seen by people to Caitlin Clark, you make sure you let her be seen by people. Coyneiser is late to the criticize the WNBA

for any reason parade. Stu Gotts was featured in the Caitlin Clark documentary that wasn't a Caitlin Clark documentary in which she said among other things, she is really yearns to be a normal person and has trouble not being a normal person because of how famous she's gotten. Here is a clip from the audio is not good on this because it's just someone

recording it on their phone. But here is Stu gots making a featured appearance in a feature of Caitlin Clark's. Nobody's taking 40 shots in like you see across the country. We're not that kind of team. I hold great for the levels of immortality or the pantheon to win the championships. You cannot go down as the greatest college basketball player of all time without winning the national championship. You can't do it. I'll take it. Sports Talk radio host is what they called you.

Different outfit too. Good for you. Honestly, it was jarring. It was jarring when I was watching this documentary, which was very good, by the way. I'm a little picky when it comes to sports documentaries, but this was a nice, easy, good four-part watch. Breeze threw it on my Sunday. Recommended to anyone who was interested. But hearing Dan's voice at one point talk about everything that comes with greatness, and then the next episode hearing Stugatz say

that she needs to win a championship, both times I was just like ah, ah, ah! Sports Talk radio host Stugatz with the take that was echoing just what Jay Williams had said. It's not his own take. Well, hold on a second. I wanna take issue with this because I don't like the ordering of the set.

No, but Jay Williams had that. I said it first. No, you did not. Jay Williams stole it from me, Dan. That is not true. I'm telling you right now. Stugats? I don't think, I think he had it first this year, Stugats.

I think you've had it first in every other scenario. I think he took it from you this year. He did. I said it before anyone else. But you said it year. He did, I said it before anyone else. But he's setting it a different year. I said it before anyone else, I don't care. And Jay Williams ran with it. I remember blasting him on the show.

Stugat, I am here. For stealing it, but from another year. Oh. You didn't have that take about Caitlin Clark. It's just your general take that you apply. It's a one size fits all take. Could've been any documentary. You guys are acting like I made it four years ago. I didn't know who Caitlin Clark was. I know. It's a one-size-fits-all tape. It could have been any documentary. You guys were acting like I made it four years ago I didn't know who

Caitlin Clark was! I know. It's the last year! I'm promising you that you said it after Jay William said it because when Jay William said it I'm like why do you have to say that it's so unnecessary to say that and then I'm pretty sure you followed up with what was the take that then identified you as a sports talk radio host Even though we're not on the radio anymore the reason I think Jay Williams had at first was because I went on Golic and gojo Around that time I think was the day after Jay Williams said it and they asked me about it And I said this is a very stugazi thing to say right and then we talked about it on this show, either that day or maybe the following week, and you said it.

And he stole it from you, but he didn't steal it from you in that week, or even I think in this basketball season. WFAT! So you still get credit for the horrible opinion. Taylor is texting me right now that I am 1000% right. That I said it first and that Jay Williams stole it and the only reason you heard Jay Williams

is because you don't listen to me and he has a bigger platform. That's it. Well it's settled now because Taylor texted you. I believe in Taylor. But did you say it on this show or did you say it on God Bless People? I said it right on this show.

No, I said it right here. I said it right on this microphone. On this show with Dan. All of you are here, I think. I remember. I mean I- Sometimes Mike is here. I have an open mind, you could be right, but my recollection was that he said it

and then we talked about it after he said it. Okay, it really doesn't matter. No, it matters. Let's get bogged down in this. I think a little more quicksand here toward the end of what we're doing is good. What you said about Tony Kornheiser, by the way, Tony's ears keep, he keeps getting scared that we're about to yell at him. Every time you say Tony, it's like, what did I say about Caitlin Clark, Pam, I don't remember. No, what you said is so Kornheiser by the way, Tony's ears keep, like he keeps getting scared

that we're about to yell at him. Every time you say Tony I was like, what did I say about Caitlin Clark? Damn, I don't remember. What you said is so true is that he's like late to being mad at the WNBA. There was a Lynx Sky preseason game last weekend. My Sky.

That wasn't, exactly. It wasn't available on League Pass, so someone who was at the game was streaming it on their phone and it had like two million views on their live stream of it. Cause no one could watch it. I was like half of those. Yeah, you were a million of them.

You were a million? I'm into this guy right now. And it really is a tale as old as time. But League Pass is only $35 and you can watch the games that they do carry on League Pass. I love Tony saying you can't do that to Caitlin Clark. Really what Tony is saying is you can't do that to me. You're gonna make me go buy the WNBA League pass?

Which Tony? Kornheiser. Thank you. Did you buy yours yet, Stigatz? You pledged to do so last week, if I remember correctly. I'm getting to it. Season starts tomorrow, you don't wanna miss tip-off. He said done, right?

He said I'm in, or some sort of insincere words. I mean, it is like, compared to other sports streaming things, passes, like it's two months worth of Netflix is the WNBA elite pass. Let's check in with somebody who's worse at their job than Stugatz. How about this boxing ring announcer

who is announcing the winner of a fight over the weekend and gets the original winner all wrong. It was clear that the other woman won. You can see that in her unmarked face that she has won the fight as opposed to the woman whose arm gets held up because this ring announcer is truly terrible. I draw. Judge Keighley scores the competition 96-94 and Judge Nakamura scores the competition 98-92 for your winner by majority decision and still the WBA World's Champion Nina Hughes. And by the way Nakamura who had that 98-92 scorecard will be the referee for Lomachenko.

95-95. Keighley scores the competition. 96-94. Nakamura 98-92. Four-year winner by majority. Fighting out of the blue, Carter. Center, beat, J.J.J. Is this guy for real?

I'm dead. Is this guy for real? Is this guy, Lieutenant Dan Hennessey, for real? Tessitore was pissed off. This just begins him being pissed off. He was pissed off in the studio show afterward. Listen to Tessitore. You rarely hear him this angry. I want to clean up this absolute clown show garbage amateur

hour we saw with the ring announcer moments ago. Bernardo what can you tell us? Yeah it was heartbreak from Nina Hughes and then heartbreak first from Shanika Johnson. I have the actual scorecard and Lieutenant Dan Hennessy admitted that he read the scores improperly. So the winner was Shernika Johnson from the jump. It was just announced improperly. All right, that takes care of that. Let's move on and let's hope that he can read the scorecards properly

when we have our world championship fight. I love that. I am irate right now. Why is he a lieutenant? I don't know. We had him booked. We gotta get demoted to officer now. Joe Tess?

We had him booked, not Joe Tess. Lieutenant? No, Lieutenant Dan. We had him booked and then he bailed at the last minute. He got cold feet. We had him booked last night. I was very excited. I thought it was gonna be the guest of guests for our show to get today to ask him what happened.

Because I love the vigor, the enthusiasm he showed, trying to sell it at the end while truly mortified as pointing at the correct corner like you saw him just fall apart but try to fake his way through it.
