You're listening to DraftKings Network.
This is the Don LeVittor Show with the StuGuts Podcast.
Today's episode is sponsored by DraftKings.
Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Because he came in on such an early
flight, Amin was lamenting under his breath that he was not able to see what I believe was the sports
moment of the night last night, even with the playoffs in full force in basketball and hockey.
even with the playoffs in full force in basketball and hockey.
The Tom Brady roast, a televised event,
an unusual event, big weekend in general for Netflix.
They open with a crappy Jerry Seinfeld directed movie
that is gonna be popular but isn't very good.
And then Cat Williams goes live on Saturday night.
And then last night, I'm really curious
what those numbers will be because I enjoyed that everyone involved allowed that night
to be.
I loved the roast as a comedy vehicle, but there were a number of things last night,
a number of jokes told that I didn't think were allowed anymore.
I was surprised, man. I'm with you.
I was surprised Brady allowed people to go to certain places.
It was crazy.
Dan, and you're going to have to excuse my energy.
I have come in off a red-eye flight, so my energy is a little low today.
But here's the thing about that roast.
This is how I know it was a big deal.
It wiped out Kendrick versus Drake from my timelines.
It just cleared it all out.
I didn't see one more Kendrick versus Drake post
as soon as that roast went live.
All I saw were clips of that roast.
People loved it, Dan.
You know why?
Because they've been starving
for something that feels real.
You know where we're living right now, guys?
Demolition Man.
Jeremy, have you seen Demolition Man?
No, of course not.
Oh, man.
Demolition Man, basically, real quick synopsis,
the world has been cleaned up,
you're not allowed to curse,
you're not allowed to do any of these things.
It's a utopian society.
But underground, Dennis Leary leads a pack
of dirty people who eat roasted rats.
That's right. Classic.
And that's what that roast was.
Okay, yes, I think I would agree with the idea
that it was a big night for podcasters.
Not a lot of mainstream media there.
Not a lot of Fox, not a lot of sports radio, not a lot of ESPN.
Thank God.
Rich Eisen, I think, was the only one I saw from the mainstream, but a big night for podcasters
last night and a big night for comedy.
And you're right, Tom Brady did let a lot go there that I would not have been comfortable
doing what Tom Brady did last night,
putting all of that in public
and allowing the number of my wife cheated
with my jujitsu instructor, my kids getting that?
My kids getting that is not something
that I would want to sign up for.
But if you agree to sign up for it,
you know that's coming, right?
Like you have an idea of what's coming at you. I mean it's a roast. It's a roast. Yeah but
but all right let's play something here though that I want to show. This to me
was the most interesting and honest moment of the night.
Jeffrey Ross is the roast master and it's basic this is the thing that he's
known for. He does a great show with David Tell bumping mics that I like
But this is what he does for a living. It's what he's he's great at it and he's in the middle of making one of the more
Dangerous jokes at the expense of Robert Kraft the you know
If not the most powerful owner in the sport the second most powerful owner in the sport behind jerry jones
and what happened here still got sign other was a discussion around here
people think this is uh... you know contrived or scripted uh... i don't
believe this was scripted on the reason i don't believe it was scripted because
the happy ending jokes in the massage jokes ended the moment a hot mic caught
tom brady telling jeff ross
hey we're not doing that around here anymore.
He said, I'm the best decision
their organization has ever made.
Would you like a massage?
Would you like a massage?
Would you like a massage?
Would you like a massage?
Would you like a massage?
Would you like a massage?
Would you like a massage?
Would you like a massage?
Would you like a massage?
Would you like a massage?
Would you like a massage?
Would you like a massage?
Would you like a massage?
Would you like a massage?
Would you like a massage? Would you like a massage? Would you like a massage? Would you like a massage? Would you like a massage? I love Robert Kraft.
I thought that was the most honest moment of the night.
And there were no more jokes at the owner's expense after that.
And Robert Kraft was also given a prime spot
toward the end of the roast after everybody,
after Ron Burgundy, after Andrew Schultz,
Nikki Glaser crushed it.
I thought she was better than, well, better than anybody?
Was she better than anybody?
Was she the best of the night?
She was excellent, she was top three for sure.
She's always great.
Like, some of these are repeat offenders, Dan.
If you watch the roasts, particularly the ones
that Jeff Ross is involved in, they've got like a list
of like murderers' row of roast comics.
And she's one of them.
She's excellent.
Tony Hinchcliffe.
That is a fine, you're right.
Tony Hinchcliffe is not somebody whose work
I had known very much.
Tony's excellent.
He crushed it.
His show, his show, Dan Is A Concept, Kill Tony,
is a really impressive thing,
because it's basically American Idol for stand-up comedy.
He's got comics with him on a dais.
They pull names out of a hat.
People go up and do a quick 60 seconds,
and they riff back and forth.
But I was hoping when I saw them pan over,
and they saw Dana with Max Holloway, with Sean O O'Malley and I saw Tony Hinchcliffe there
I was like man if they if they can do something with Tony that would be incredible and Tony came up killed everybody
He did amazing. So this is again. I haven't watched it how it came back to me was Oh kill Tony killed it
I look oh did they do kill Tony at the roast? That's how I thought I have been realized
It's just Tony Hinchcl Tony at the roast? That's how I thought it happened. I didn't realize it was just Tony Angecliffe
doing the roast on his own behalf.
But no, Dan, they got a great lineup of comics there.
And that's what I was most excited to see,
even though I haven't seen it yet.
It's just to see people who all make their bones.
He's right, though.
He's right.
It's a great sentence.
I'm so proud of you.
It's like LaMarcus Aldridge losing in that game,
even though they won it.
Just to see these people who are all habitual line pushers
when it comes to the standards of comedy.
This wasn't gonna be your pithy SNL monologue, Dan.
This was gonna be the real shit.
The shit that again, we're eating roasted rats downstairs
with Dennis Lirich.
Well Kevin Hart set the tone, he did.
He came on right before Jeff Ross,
and he introduced Jeff Ross, and he really set the tone,
and you're like, oh my God, Brady's gonna sit through
an entire night of this?
Three hours.
Well, you haven't watched, yeah, three hours,
first of all, a number of things are interesting
about last night.
A three hour television production of that size
is very hard to do without hiccups.
And furthermore, the amount of money spent on that evening
by Netflix to fill the forum for that night,
it was just impressive.
The size of the spending on Netflix trying to change
the way streaming is done because these other entities
are not able to do this either live or with
comedy. Netflix remains ahead of the game. I told you a long time ago that Netflix,
and I didn't realize this as it was happening, but they weren't here to
compete against Disney or anything else at the start other than television. They
wanted to replace television and spent in a way that no one had ever seen in
the history of content making, putting all of their money that they were making right back into their product and now as they fight a
saturation and a competition that many people are noticing that netflix is
quality of things aren't quite up they produce a lot of things a lot of stuff
but some of the stuff what do you you shaking your? It's always been like that.
Well, you're acting like Netflix,
once upon a time, was like HBO curated.
No, they've always just been a mess of just crap,
and then, oh, sorry, like one little thing here and there.
Throw a bunch of shit against the wall
and see what sticks. Absolutely.
But what I'm saying, though, is it had plateaued
a little bit on what it is that they could do
in terms of new subscribers,
which is why they're talking about commercials which is why
they're taking away shared passcode
and their greatest evolution in the content space is supporting comedy more
than any of the other streamers and now trying to do these big giant things they
basically
i can't believe
that the patriot signed up for this,
that they allowed all of this at their expense.
Well they didn't.
Yeah, they're like, you wanna be, this is happening.
Are you gonna be here or not?
That's probably how.
But what do you mean they didn't?
They showed up and they did it together.
They didn't allow it though.
But the one time that Brady asked him to stop
is when he went after Bob Kraft.
Okay, but they allowed everything else.
No, I'm saying this, this is what I'm saying, Dan.
Like, I don't think it's a case of allowed.
The roast was happening.
Tom Brady was allowing the roast.
Everybody else there was a guest, an invited guest.
By the way, it was part of the larger
Netflix is a Joke Comedy Festival,
which they do all week in LA.
So that's part of why it's in the forum,
and that's part of why there's so many people there.
It's a big deal in LA. So that's part of why it's in the forum. That's part of why there's so many people there. It's a big deal in LA every year. And when you say Netflix is
a supported comedy, I think you should talk to more comedians. Many of them
exploited might be the word that they use given what they're handing out. Yes,
Chappelle gets eight billion dollars, but the majority of these other comics are
not getting that kind of money. And they're trying to make it where it's like you have to have a
Netflix special in the same way that a decade earlier it was a Comedy Central
special or an HBO special now it's just a Netflix special while the comedians
are trying to fight for kind of hey I can go direct to consumer to YouTube I
can go to any other number of platforms but that's all one thing all i'm saying is the patriots did not all
the patriots were there
the jokes are gonna happen and they did happen but the patriots participated in
this i don't get caught up in the semantics of either that or whether
netflix is some more supporting comedians or comedy that place is a
place
that's more receptive to what is more receptive to providing
an area for comedians to do what they did last night, which is I'm imagining I haven't
seen the social media response, but I am imagining that there are a whole lot.
There's a generation of young people, a not terribly familiar with the roast concept because
it's not like it's been thriving recently.
And B, that they're surprised
that they're watching something
that had so much stereotype humor in it.
Like those are some,
there were a great many jokes told last night
that I thought would raise quite the objection
with people who like to object on the internet to that sort
of thing.
Why?
Like, I mean, it's a roast.
Like, you know things are going to be off the handle.
Like, that's always what it's been.
Understood that that's always what it's been, but I believe the relationship that everyone
has with comedy now is a little bit different than it used to be.
You have a whole lot of people complaining about what they can't, can and can't say, and the roast is an artifact from another time. I wish for it to exist,
but when you say why, for example, the Jews took a hit last night with some stereotype stuff that
I did not think was going to be okay in 2024, given what's happening in the world. Like,
I thought there would be many people complaining about some of the jokes that were being told there.
If indeed people are sensitive to comedy
as everyone seems to think they are.
Billy, what are you pursing your face about?
Well, first of all, I felt like we distracted you
and I was kind of castigating Stugats
because he whispers extremely loud.
And I was telling him, you need to stop talking
because every other microphone in the room is picking you up.
I know that you're making an effort to whisper.
Everyone can hear everything that you're saying.
Totally fair, yeah.
Was he making an effort?
I was making an effort, yes.
I assumed he was, but I don't know.
And I was telling him, stop doing that.
Everyone can hear you.
Top five roast, that's what I was doing.
I thought he was talking to me.
He is a very bad whisperer, and it
makes me think of a John Hollinger report
from the weekend where he reported as like reported as fact that Jimmy Butler in Miami is something
that is tenuous at the moment and the way that he reported it is by saying hold on a
second.
He can also shut up.
I mean oh we would have beat the Celtics.
Oh we would have beat the Knicks.
You had your shot. Yeah.
Hey, it's Mike. As you know, sports are a bit crazy right now.
It kind of feels like everything is happening all at once.

Don LeBataard.
You were that kind of sad this morning taking the barrage of anger from Stugatz
because you hadn't booked him enough interviews. The only reason I keep bringing this up is
because you are throwing a big party on Thursday. You're doing it and I want people to support
what you're doing because Stugatz has not made this easy. Stugatz. Well, you know, I well yeah, you know, this is the done libertar show with the Stu guards
Look how about don't make it? How about you play during the regular season? So you're not in the plane
How about your words mean something when you're beating Boston?
your words mean something when you're beating Boston. Not when you get bounced for the first round.
Jimmy Butler did have a big win this weekend, guys.
How about you don't get hurt?
He was supporting Lando Norris at the Formula One race.
Champion.
And Lando Norris won the Miami Grand Prix,
his first ever win in Formula One on the top of the podium.
And Jimmy Butler was wearing a Lando McLaren shirt.
We might have a video of it, I'm not sure.
But it was legendary.
He also had his coffee truck in the paddock
and I got to try Jimmy Butler's coffee for the first time.
And let me tell you, I did not sleep last night.
I was wired.
That is really good coffee.
It's called Big Face.
In my head I kept saying Fat Face,
but then I was like, no, that's Dan.
So it's really, really good.
Glowing endorsement, this is not an ad.
I'm not being paid to say this.
I'm still completely caffeinated from yesterday.
What was the sample size?
What do you mean?
Like, what'd you drink, a 12 ounce, a little cup?
Like an espresso.
Okay.
Yeah, it was, I mean, it was so good.
Tastes?
It was so good.
Isn't it $100?
It was free for everyone in the paddock.
So it's cheap.
So.
Let's play the sound from Jimmy Butler
and I will get around at some point to finishing my point.
Oh yeah.
I can't call you Jimmy, I'm calling you Lando, right?
Why is that Lando?
That's who I inspire to be.
He's great, he's young, he's a little bit attractive
and so I think it's good to be him right now.
Lando, is this your first time at a Formula One event?
No, no, no, no, I've been here a couple of times. I went to Montreal. I want to go to Monaco though, so that's the next one on my list.
Have you ever tried to fit in a car?
I have not. I don't think I will, and like I tell everybody, I don't like to go fast. I want to go slow. I drive slow I drive like big cars not small fast ones. The real Lando goes very fast. He does and I think that's why I think I lied to you my name's really not Lando it's Jimmy so that's probably why I don't get in these cars.
I did not want not even one syllable of that particular sound the sound that I
want is the other sound where he's he's he's clearly moved up at night uh... like it's you can hear a little bit of the
slurred his voice uh... his people have said that they don't know if this was at
f one or not but regardless here's the sound that was making its way around the
internet this weekend
you know that yet
what's the reaction
often to be at home New York damn sure be home
I love you baby I want to beat you to a pulp you want me I don't want you it's
like a one side of relationship you in love with me, I don't want you. It's like a one-sided relationship. You're
in love with me. And I love you, but I'm not in love with you. You know what I'm saying?
That sounded sober. What John Hollinger was reporting is, and yes, Stugat is a very bad
whisperer, but what I found funny about this report is that he's reporting
increasingly loud whispers oh that Jimmy's not happy in Miami and that
Miami's not happy with him or that the Jimmy experiment is tenuous in Miami but
increasingly loud whispers is a bullshit report it just means that Stu gots is
doing the whisper I'm not saying that say, Stugatz is the source then.
We figured it out.
Roasted chicken from Publix.
Ooh, it's so good.
Dan, I used to...
Light roast coffee?
I used to read reports sometimes,
and based on the verbiage,
you could figure out who was the source.
Literally, by the way they talk,
there was one guy, I'm not going to name,
but he always talked about things in terms of like,
a football field, oh it's on the 20 yard line,
it's on the 10 yard line, whatever.
So whenever I would see a report saying,
oh this deal is on like the five yard line,
I'm like, that's so and so.
And so loud whispers, I like that,
that Stu gots the source.
Increasingly loud whispers,
which makes me feel like they're no longer whispers.
Like if they're getting increasingly loud,
you're not whispering.
They stop being whispers.
I don't know how they could be whispers
when there were already two or three different
national reports of the same thing.
So they'd already been said out loud,
now we're going back toward whispers.
Increasing whispers?
We'll circle back around on where and when these things
and how they leak because they don't come from the heat,
they come from the national sources
and then it just makes me assume
Darrell Morey is telling people.
That's what he whispered in my ear.
I mean that's what I assumed.
Increasingly loud whisper by the way.
The stuff that came out on Jimmy early
was not pro Jimmy, right?
It was like he wants an extension, he wants a max
and he's gonna be paid like 50 plus million dollars
when he's 36, like that's like he leaked.
I thought that was leaked by Jimmy.
I thought that that was Jimmy or his agent
putting pressure at a pretty good time to leak it
when your team falls apart,
and last year they beat that team when he was healthy.
It seemed like a little bit of posturing
between both the organization and Jimmy Butler,
where those reports came out at the same time
with slightly different angles
through more local reporters.
The national stuff, which oftentimes the Heat
aren't really involved in, the local rumor mill starts,
the national stuff, that tends to seem like what Dan's saying.
Potentially Darrell Morey seeing a situation where,
all right, a contract negotiation's going on,
let me swoop in here and just put out some feelers
about whether or not Jimmy would be interested.
He wants to pay Jimmy Butler $60 million when he's 37,
be our guest.
And I say our, as the city of Miami.
I'm taking up for all of us.
You tell him.
Look at that hat.
Exactly right.
Was there a chance Jimmy was rooting for the Heat to lose?
That's a fair question.
Boom.
Something to ponder, Tony.
Put it in.
Is it nicer to say nothing than to say someone's
a little bit attractive?
Nicer?
No, it's nice.
Just to say nothing.
A little bit attractive is a compliment.
I'd take it.
I'd take it.
I took that as the straight male homophobic way
of trying to say he's good looking,
but I can't let people think I'm,
so I'm gonna say oh, he's a little bit attractive.
That's what he's doing.
I saw that Kevin Hart did that
after losing the Oscar ceremony
the way that he did last night.
He just filed it under white guy humor
because there were a lot of blow job jokes last night.
And so that's what Kevin Hart was playing with.
But when we get back to what it is that happened last night,
Katie Nolan is gonna join us here in a little while
to talk about that and Bruins Panthers,
a series that begins tonight.
Drew Bledsoe's gonna join us later in the show.
I thought he was the best of the athletes and Stugatsi.
I felt legitimately bad for the athletes
having to follow comics in that spot.
It's a tough spot, yeah.
It's not just 20,000 people in an arena,
which Belichick isn't used to doing
and Bledsoe's not used to doing
and Edelman and Randy Moss and Gronk aren't used to doing,
but you also are public speaking
in front of what you know is a live international audience.
And to follow Nikki Glaser, like when you're an athlete,
it's just, to be Randy Moss and try to get up there.
Randy Moss, who, I mean.
Poor Randy, he had no shot.
I mean, I just felt.
I picked up my phone the moment he got on,
I was like, ah, I'm good.
Blood So I Thought did better than any of the other athletes
and had to go first
Which I think is a better spot to go
Than later once some of the comedians are killing but I all I kept saying under my breath to my wife is oh
What a bad spot. What a bad spot for Randy Moss
And it's not just because he's following people that are funny
It's because when have you ever heard Randy Moss speak in front of a giant amount of people?
It's like following Tom Brady when he's playing quarterback.
It's like being Brian Hoyer.
I mean, their writers did a great job, though, to make the athletes and
Belichick seem funny in comparison to these other people where they were still getting laughs.
And the audience is there to laugh.
So once you kind kinda get going,
you could feel the room turning for all the athletes,
but you gotta give a ton of credit to those writers,
because it was an impossible spot for them.
By the way, the writers,
including some former guests on Oddball.
Jeff Ross was a writer, my guy Pat Barker was a writer.
I believe there's one other comedian who was a writer
who was on Oddball when we did our season preview,
which you can catch on YouTube.
Just in case you wanna wonder what the comedian
thought was gonna happen at the beginning of the season.
But you don't remember his name, huh?
How did you make that so much about you
and promoting you and forget a comedian's name?
Wait, watch this, I'll do it too.
So I didn't get to watch that much of it
because I got home really late from the race last night but I watched maybe like
the first like 40 minutes. My only take about this roast when you have an
audience that big and they're clapping after every five freaking sentences five
five words it was too long. Tell the audience hold your applause guys you
don't have to clap just because Bill Belichick breathed. You don't have to do it. Three hours is a long time. I imagine that Hinchcliffe and Glazer sold a lot
of tickets last night to their tour. Probably your friends with Andrew
Schultz, aren't you Amin? I am. His rise has been fascinating as someone who
doesn't have a traditional special but can sell out Madison Square Garden
because he's got such an internet following.
That part is a bit of a seismic change, Dugats, to see a dynasty that was covered by the mainstream
media link up with the podcast community to create something creative outside of what
we ever think of the Patriots or how they're built.
Like, it's a bit shocking to see Bill Belichick do stand up.
It's a bit, it's a bit shocking. It's the most interesting he's been in front of cameras in 25
years. It felt refreshing, right? When, when we thought Bill wasn't going to be there. And I think,
I don't remember who it was that made the joke. I think it was Drew Blood. So he's like, is Bill
behind me? I don't know. I can't see. Like we didn't think Bill was going to be there. And then
when he walks out to a hero's welcome
We're like, okay
Like this is cool and it kind of showed like another at another side to everybody right like Brady
Edelman Gronk all the guys in the back row Rodney Harrison looking he was just fresh at NBC
I was waiting for my boy to turn around and be like
You know what's funny we spent what 20 minutes or, and you guys haven't mentioned the most important thing,
which is, have you seen Tom Brady's hair?
Like in that poster for the event?
What's happening there?
I don't know.
Good genes.
No, that's not good genes.
That's not good genes.
You haven't seen it, the picture that they used?
I think his hair and face, all of them,
are taken care of by all that science can offer
to keep us never aging.
Science ain't offerin' enough.
I'm lookin' at this picture right now.
Science needs to do more.
He's close to 50.
Look, Tom Cruise is what, 75?
Yeah.
Science is doin' great for him.
Brady, now look at that.
It's like two different eyes
Hey hotels calm here
tired of the everyday
We know a hotel that's ready to unwind this weekend book hotels with spas in the hotels calm app
Find your perfect somewhere don't live a card
Bench cheer that type of stuff Tom Brady went down with an Achilles the only time he got hurt in his entire career
and I was fist-pumpin' in my living room at home
because the Jets finally had a chance to win a division.
I mean, I'm sorry, I'm not gonna apologize for that.
I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that
is one of the most amazing sentences you've ever uttered.
Stugatz.
From the maker of Trust Me, Don't Trust Me
comes I'm Sorry, But I'm Not Going To Apologize.
You are amazing.
Thank you.
I know.
You are a flabbergasting delight.
You happen upon genius comedy by accident.
That's my gift.
This is the Don LeVatar Show with the Stugats.
Anyone in the history of our show is Stugats, more affiliated with the Patriots than Katie
Nolan.
I know that Drew Bledsoe is going to be on with us later, but I'd like to know what it
is that she thought about everything
that happened last night.
What are you laughing at?
So we haven't had anyone as affiliated with the Patriots
until Drew Bledsoe later on.
Katie, you got the title for the next couple hours.
She has it right now, that's right,
but later Drew Bledsoe is gonna take this from her.
And also, Katie, congratulations on your Bruins.
Are you looking forward after last season losing to the Florida Panthers
with a better team than this one and a worse Panther team than this one?
Are you looking forward?
Okay, hi.
Good morning.
Are you looking forward to this series?
No, Dan, good morning.
No.
Look, I feel like I just wanted to make sure they did not do again what they did last year.
It was the absolute worst.
And so they didn't, thank God.
And now, like you said, Florida's better
than they were last year and we are worse.
So now, if anything, I just kind of hope
we screw it up for you guys.
Oh, but I would say that even though Florida's better
and Boston's worse, it just means that they're kind of the same this year. They've been kind of,
they're, they're, they're not, they're not that the golf has been a race and now hockey
can happen in the playoffs. Yeah. I don't think the Panthers beat us in the regular
season either. I think we were undefeated against them. Let's fact check that, but you
know, it'll be interesting. We'll see. Billy is looking it up right now furiously or he's just checking Twitter and not paying attention to the
executive producing of the show one or the other I cannot tell what were the
interesting things for you about last night everything that unspooled there I
didn't mention earlier by the way just a stunning number of Aaron Hernandez jokes
that created a whole lot
of groaning that uh... you expected those i i i didn't expect quite the
amount and uh... quite how heavy-handed some of them were but what were what
were your observations katie
also you already went over and talk about what you like i was really
interested to know how you felt about it
i like it
i went into it uh... kinda as a hater expecting to dislike it
just because it's a combination of two things
that really mean a lot to me
between the Patriots and comedy.
And so you just get a little nervous
whenever I see any athlete that I've publicly supported
start to tell jokes.
You just get a little freaked out that it's not
gonna go well and you're gonna have to defend them and it didn't... the athletes
were not the best part. There were some some jokes that I felt like I feel like
if you're a skilled comedian you can tell them but watching athletes trip
through them. A lot of gay stuff felt like we probably didn't need
from Julian Edelman, et cetera.
But that being said, I know that they were nervous
in an environment that isn't theirs
and blah, blah, blah, it's a roast.
Don't take it so seriously.
I get all that.
I don't want to hear that from anybody saying
that I'm being sensitive.
But I thought Kevin Hart was a great host.
I didn't know that I was gonna feel that way.
I thought he did fantastic.
He started a little slow for me,
but then once the, that's a tough job to do,
and he did a great job.
Am I just gonna talk about it uninterrupted for five minutes
or should I be breaking for you to go?
No, I wanna hear all of your thoughts
and what it is that you found.
No, you don't.
I have pages.
I have pages on pages of thoughts.
I wanna hear them. This is why you're on. We will stand out of the way and what it is that you found. No you don't. I have pages. I have pages on pages of thoughts. You do not wanna hear all of them.
This is why you're on.
No you don't.
We will stand out of the way and listen to your talk.
No, that's not a show.
We want your expertise.
We talk to each other.
We want your expertise.
I have Panthers versus Bruins year by year,
decade by decade in all time records.
Oh wow.
Thank you.
No, I just needed this season.
This season the Bruins were four and oh.
All time they're 68, 52, and six.
Two oh and two, technically.
In the 1990s, they were 12, 13, and three.
Well, which is it?
Is it four oh, four and oh, or two oh and two?
Which is it?
Those are two very different stats.
Who said two oh and two?
I said two oh and two.
Well, that's wrong.
Okay.
Why?
Go sit in the penalty box.
For what? Which part of you not understand it? You corrected Billy with the wrong information. But that's wrong. Stu, why? All right, so go sit in the penalty box. For what?
Which part of you not understand it?
You corrected Billy with the wrong information.
But I might be right.
Incorrected Billy.
Good to see you, Stu.
I'll invite you back in.
You incorrected Billy, that is correct.
Who did you think did best and did you watch it?
I guess since you mentioned your fiance, Dan Soder,
did you watch it with him?
Because he's watching it differently
than I would think most people are because of the degree of difficulty on
the expectation of funny that comedians have in that situation i thought a
couple of them rose up to it but a couple did not
uh... yes he we watched it either i also should say and should have thought of
this any opinion
uh... stated here is mine and mine alone. These are my fiance's coworkers, so.
No, no, no, you are butting out peace.
Not reflecting on him.
I, yeah, I feel like I only got booked
because Dan wouldn't have been awake at 9.25.
He's fast asleep in the room next to me right now.
Who did I think was the best?
Probably Nikki Glaser.
I thought Sam Jay though.
Sam Jay was my personal favorite.
I lost my mind at Sam Jay.
She was saying things that I had no idea.
Why am I getting thumbs down?
What's happening?
I don't know where you're getting thumbs down.
Who gave you thumbs down?
What is that? It's a Zoom thing, Dan.
It's a new feature on Zoom.
For whatever reason, it adds thumbs down.
We don't have it. Wow.
Who hits a thumbs down on me?
Who ordered the cord red?
I was right, I'll be back.
What do you mean you were right?
Oh, two and two.
That's different information that you gave before.
Two, oh, and two is what he said originally.
He's still wrong.
He's still wrong.
The Bruins were four and oh against the Panthers this year.
I don't know what he's doing,
but let's play a couple of the clips from Nikki Glazer
so that we're not just
Talking around this again and again without showing people who might have missed it because it went deep into the night I'm like... I'm like... I'm like... I'm like... I'm like... I'm like...

Let's play another, that's okay,
Nikki Glaser clip please.
Okay, nevermind.
We had the one clip Dan.
Of somebody's phone pointed at their TV.
Yes, let's go to Tony Hinchcliffe here
because he also stole the proceedings here. Although Sam you're right about Sam
Let's see what we've got here on Tony Hinchcliffe
Clearly your ex-wife takes after you. I hear she's out there draining balls right now
People love you Tom. You have the same fan base as Kyle Rittenhouse.
Gronk, I'm happy you could take a break from writing Santa letters to be here today
I knew you were here when we were all out of chocolate milk backstage.
You look like the final boss in George Floyd, the video game.
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.
Let me just say Tony Hinchcliffe killed.
Am I a fan?
I would say if I had to be honest, gun to my head, no.
But he did kill last night.
But those things, those little things that he does that I'm like,
you didn't need to, why a George Floyd reference?
That's not the funniest possible way
to use a very charged topic.
So that's the things he does that bothers me,
but that's my personal opinion and how I feel.
It's just yours.
It's the exclusive domain of Katie Nolan.
Let me hear another HinchCliff clip, please.
Tom is afraid of the Giants, which is why Kevin Hart is hosting tonight.
All night, he's been using the stool that Aaron Hernandez kicked out from under
himself. Kevin is so small that when his ancestors picked cotton, they called it
deadlifting.
We couldn't have picked a different clip than that one.
Like, you are ending perfectly on the ones
that I'm like, ah, ah.
You know, funny though, he's, I mean, just,
had a million jokes.
Also, I think the reason he was there
is so they had an excuse to only let Dana White talk
for 60 seconds.
No.
Did you have any thoughts on Tom Brady whispering
to Jeff Ross, hey, we're not making any more
of those jokes at the expense of Bob Kraft?
I think it was a bit.
I don't know for sure, not confirmed,
but I feel like it was scripted.
It felt like on purpose.
The reason I didn't think it was is because there was nary another joke made on that subject the
rest of the night unless you think that unless you unless you think they were going to address it the
one time and that's how they were going to nip any of the other comedians from doing it by saying
hey we addressed it and then we let it go. Well I noticed a lot of things that should have come up
didn't come up and so it is entirely possible that people had a list
of stuff that you weren't allowed to tell jokes about. Katie what were you
expecting to come up that didn't come up? I don't know there's just stuff about
Jeff Ross I think we all know and then and one person mentioned it. I think if
you're calling yourself a roastmaster general we should be able to make fun of you for your life
and the things that have happened in it.
Have you ever seen Belichick in that light?
No. I was so proud.
I was like watching, I was nervous.
I was like, every joke he told I was like, okay, good, okay, okay was nervous. I was like, every joke he told, it was like, okay, okay, okay, Bill.
And then there were some that I was like,
oh God, okay, all right, Bill.
Like he stumbled over the delivery of that Apple TV joke,
but I got the vision.
I liked it.
I thought it was funny what he said,
but it was funny watching him get a little nervous.
He was clearly nervous on that Alex Guerrero joke,
because when he was like,
it's hard to butt heads with Tom, because his head is so far up Alex Guerrero's ass. So the point
where Dan was sitting next to me and he was like, whose ass? And I was like, ooh,
it's a, oh, can I say ass? Yes, I think Alex Guerrero should have been on the
dais. I think he couldn't have been because people would have just
picked him apart. He did a good job of pretending to find it funny,
but it's like, okay buddy, you're overselling. You can't find it this funny
because then you wouldn't be the way that you are.
There was a lot of shots of Alex Guerrero.
My wife's like, who, why do they keep showing this guy?
And I'm like, it's a long story.
He's like a doctor, but he's not a doctor,
but like Brady's doctor.
And she's like, oh, that guy.
