Starting point is 00:01:23 Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow in it.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Billy, I'm a little worried about everything that's happening here. Right now I'm looking at a studio that is bare bones. Stugatz is not here because of traffic issues. I need you to make an emergency call to Izzy because we are missing people today and Chris Cody has a plumbing issue of some sort. What the hell do you think that is?
Starting point is 00:01:52 I don't know. It's always something with him. But do you wanna guess? Do you wanna guess why Chris Cody is not yet here because he just sent us a vague text, I've got a plumbing issue, which immediately makes me just think he's got shit all over the floor.
Starting point is 00:02:06 I mean, I hope it's not that. Plumbing issues happen. He's supposed to be coming, so I believe it's been resolved-ish, and he's come, I don't know what's going on, man. Okay, you're not really answering my question. I don't have answers. I have just as many questions as you do.
Starting point is 00:02:23 I don't know who's in, who's not in, who's here's here who's not I just see $40 sitting as to got to seat Maybe $60. I don't know what that's about. They're just cash floating around like it's a kind of strange environment at the moment Dan Pipes explode all the time all across America all across the world pipes just explode for no reason That's there's a reason, but we don't know why the reason is maybe his pipes exploded None of that is accurate pipes don't just explode for no reason and people if they do explode know what the reason is do you think Chris knows what the reason is put it on the please juju put it on the pole at lebatard show do pipes explode all the time for no reason at lebatard show slash none of us know what it is we'll never know do you
Starting point is 00:03:02 believe though Tony since Billy was not helpful in coming up with positing a theory because a lot is going on right now and his head is spinning a little bit because he didn't think he was Gonna be in that seat today, and he shouldn't be in that seat today He has other things other important things to be doing Don't you assume that once somebody texts you I've got a plumbing issue Aren't you assuming there's shit all over the place a hundred percent like the the toilet You know when you're at a toilet and you go to flush it and then it goes the wrong way Right because it's supposed to go down and then it starts going up and you're like it's terrible
Starting point is 00:03:34 Oh, it's for no reason We don't know why it happens It is a terrifying thing when it starts to rise and you don't have any understanding of whether or not it's gonna over You're like a pass block drill. You're like, whoa, whoa. Well, the explanation that we got was that there was just inches and inches of sitting water that they woke up to. Shitting water. Which I don't understand how that's possible.
Starting point is 00:03:55 I mean, is the entire house flooded? Seems like that's a serious issue. All right. Let's start the show. We've, uh, we're in trouble today. This is the Dan Leventor Show with the Stugats Podcast. The other thing that's causing great chaos around here in our streets, and I saw people running on Ocean Drive with their suitcases, is that everyone is crisscrossing, ping-ponging, trying to get to other places of Florida
Starting point is 00:04:27 because this hurricane is gonna escalate quickly and South Florida is gonna be able to evidently avoid most of this and one of the weird things about hurricanes is the weather is so beautiful right before these things come and this one. Come before the storm. Yes, thank you Billy, I appreciate that. It makes me think this was- Come before the storm, you know. Yes, thank you, Billy, I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:04:46 It makes me think, Dan, like back in the day, the native Floridians, all the way back in the day, before we had anything, they would just be hanging out. Hey, great day, great couple of days, all of a sudden, bam, hurricane. Die. We're all gonna die. We're all gonna die.
Starting point is 00:05:06 We're all gonna die. We're all gonna die. We're all gonna die. We're all gonna die. The oceans are all burning and we're all wondering why. Let's turn on the news and find out how we're gonna die. Die. Quick work there by MetalArk Media getting Izzy on short notice.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Love that he's available in emergency and studio time. He's a great guy. Die, die. Quick work there by Metal Arc Media getting Izzy on short notice. Love that he's available in emergency and Stugats just walked in. Stugats, was the traffic horrific today? You're never, you're for as close as you cut it over the years, you're never actually late for the show.
Starting point is 00:05:40 So what, was the traffic horrific? Yeah, it was bad. It was a two hour and 15 minute commute today. It was awful I got to tell you South Florida deserves better roads. We do we deserve better highways We deserve this construction that I've been dealing with for 25 years to go away They've been working on the same stretch of I-95 for 25 years I sold bonds for it. Get out of here.
Starting point is 00:06:07 We deserve better. Murray! South Florida is weird in how inefficient it is. I had sort of a Simpsons episode with my wife because we are driving and we don't understand this arch that they're spending millions of dollars to build. And it's just an aesthetic thing. It seems like a giant waste of money.
Starting point is 00:06:29 And I was laughing with Valerie because she's saying, why don't they put all of that money into our incredibly terrible airport instead of building an arch? And the way it would be a Simpsons episode is that you'd put the arch over the airport and then planes would just crash into it because we don't know how to spend money correctly in South Florida to protect us from what is happening. Is anyone here and because
Starting point is 00:06:54 this hurricane season was supposed to be truly terrible and has not been yet and I don't think weather forecasters actually... Don't dare the weather gods Dan, I know what you're doing here. We're not out of it yet. I mean, jeez. You're the guy that celebrates before crossing the goal line and throws the ball down like the three. What, let's just listen.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Hurricanes, if you're listening out there, Dan said that. Deshaun Jackson. Yeah, not us. I'm not saying anything about the Hurricanes. I'm fully anticipating one final month of hell. Just hurricane after hurricane. In fact, I'm going up to Sarasota like the siesta key area and if anybody knows that area Siesta key is one of the most famous now you're doing that yeah bad
Starting point is 00:07:31 We can borrow yeah, don't do that going up there for a hurricane bachelor party We could just do that down here and not have that weather experience But we're doing it over there because the view is better well The view of the hurricane yeah, it's gonna be a great view of the hurricane. That's idiotic, and I hate to sound morbid, but you deserve whatever happens to you. Whoa! You're going into a hurricane, like come on.
Starting point is 00:07:52 I mean the outskirts of it, Billy. It's like the kids that are skateboarding in the middle of the street, and then they get hit by a car, and it's like, oh, it's such a bright future. It's like, mm, probably not, he was skateboarding in the middle of the street, kid was an idiot.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Wow. I think we should show more compassion to people who find themselves in peril because of dumb decisions that are made. No, you're running into peril. Like you're choosing to put yourself in a bad situation. No, Billy's right. Everyone's leaving.
Starting point is 00:08:17 You're choosing to put yourself in a bad situation that's avoidable. I am not the person in charge of said bachelor party. Otherwise, I would cancel it. But yeah this is a terrible decision by us. One of the things that scares me as someone who's lived in South Florida all his life and not until I got into my 50s did I fear hurricanes is the water is so hot that these things are escalating quicker than the forecasters expect them to. And so I
Starting point is 00:08:45 don't know how big a storm this is going to be as soon as it starts consolidating, but it's supposed to be off of the coast of Tampa at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. And that's terrible. Like something happening in Tampa would be really bad just because of not just the hurricane but the flooding that then comes after that results in a beyond inconvenience loss of life and I don't know that the the rest of the country has exactly this fear although there were hurricanes inexplicably off the West Coast last year California didn't even know what to do with any of that. But I've never feared this before, even though we had Hurricane Andrew.
Starting point is 00:09:28 And I remember specifically, driving through Homestead, the National Guard is there, whole bunch of people are armed, and I'm seeing what used to be gas stations, and it's just twisted metal going up into the sky. And I cannot imagine anyone trying to live in housing that has poor permits Which is what we had out there because of all of the corruption that makes us build homes poorly in South Florida and continue to develop
Starting point is 00:09:54 If a if a category four or five hits a place The wreckage is going to be something that your ancestors talk about for for the rest of their lives And that didn't scare you? You said you weren't scared by hurricanes until you were in your 50s. That as a child or as a teenager didn't scare you? The reason it didn't scare me is because I was in Pembroke Pines at the time and I slept through the whole thing. So these things go to a concentrated area and so I saw it happen over there.
Starting point is 00:10:21 But I think this happens to a lot of people listening to this. If it doesn't happen to you or your loved ones you underestimate how horrific it would actually be to be kimbo slice hiding under a mattress as his whole house gets torn away because he can't find anywhere to hide in a mattress doesn't feel like much protection when it's all wet and windy or to be a jet span i mean unless you're in it you just can't realize just how bad and desperate it is. Watching under the mattress. I'm rooting for a 41 year old quarterback.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Oh, but Stu Gantz, I don't know if you saw this stat. The Jets have a league high, 56.8% conversion rate on third down. They were league worst 26% last year if Aaron Rodgers just gives you that all season and he will if he's healthy if he just gives you a conversion rate on third down you've got something to be hopeful about because you remember how that felt when Zach Wilson was in third and five and you felt like you had no hope to convert that Aaron Rodgers is preventing this from being the worst season in my 40 seasons of being a jet fan because if Aaron Rodgers is preventing this from being the worst season in my 40 seasons of being a jet fan Because if Aaron Rodgers wasn't healthy or he wasn't playing well early on I would be looking at Geno Smith and Sam
Starting point is 00:11:34 Darnold who are a combined six and oh and I'd be depressed but I'm not because I have a guy Who's a cage event who's really really good? Because I have a guy who's a cagey vet who's really really good who's not turning the ball over Who's converting third dads who's allowing the running game to kind of? Find its form and I am very excited. I said yesterday if you want to prove to me that this is for real The jets have to go out and beat denver by 20 plus points They better do it this weekend. They have to do it Otherwise, it's a loss. And Stu, the way that this roster was constructed, it was always like, if we can get a quarterback,
Starting point is 00:12:10 everybody else will be ready to go. The skill position players are there. You've got two good running backs. You got Garrett Wilson. Like the defense is getting online. You have Sauce Gardner. It's like this team was built to win now. Now you just put in even an old Aaron Rodgers and you're like, oh, wait a second, there's something there. But the Bills are better and the Bills are terrifying and one of the things that I would say about Aaron Rodgers, I heard Belmoni say this the other day, he called Aaron Rodgers washed in terms of being able to move around and he's not wrong about this. I do wonder after watching Monday night and watching the versatility of the quarterbacks who weren't joe burrow and joe burrow can be sacked nine times in a game in a way that i'm assuming
Starting point is 00:12:50 that daniels and and people like lamar jackson will not be sacked nine times in a game i do wonder when they run up against the pass rush like say a green bay or something whether erin rogers inability to actually move the way that he used to five or six years ago when he made all sorts of plays that he cannot make now because at forty one years old you shouldn't be running around a football field. It's funny you mentioned those guys Josh Allen and Jayden Daniels. Jeremy give me that stat that you just whispered to me because I'm going to mess that one up.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Rodgers is third in the league in drop back success rate per play as of week three, and that's behind Josh Allen and Jaden Daniels just ahead of Gino Smith, who you mentioned, Kyler Murray, that rounds out the top five. You should have whispered that. It would have been better. Is he, you know, he's been called in in an emergency, and he's had to show everybody a little bit too much
Starting point is 00:13:42 behind the curtain that his material is not his own. There are better ways to do that. He'll learn over time. I'm still marveling at Stu Gotts just making the complete left turn from hurricanes and Dan being scared in his 50s to the Jets. Someone had to bring it to sports. Again, Izzy, okay, get out of here.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Can we call Izzy in tomorrow so he doesn't drive into a hurricane? Thank you, Dan. We've got a major penalty, five minutes derailing. Five minutes. Please stop explaining the show to people like this. What he did there was get us back to sports because I spent four minutes on climate talk.
Starting point is 00:14:13 And I gave him a standing ovation. No, but you're supposed to just not, you're not. Don't acknowledge it. No, just get out of here. Go somewhere else. What are you doing? You're not supposed to reveal to everybody what we're doing in the shadows here. Don't go into the storm though.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Like can we have him come in tomorrow? I'm worried about him. I mean even us, right now we're under tropical storm warning. Like we're gonna be driving through tropical storm elements later. I got hit with three severe weather warnings. I got hit with three of them.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Oh look, plumbing problems is here. Yes. What do you assume Stugat says plumbing problems walked in and tells us that he couldn't get here on time because he had plumbing problems? What do you assume happened there? Chris clogged his toilet. I woke up to my wife saying, Chris, water!
Starting point is 00:15:00 And I walked into our guest bathroom and it was like up to my, not ankles, but like my, there was like, I could have done a water dance with, and I, I think guest bathroom and it was like up to my, not ankles, but like I could have done a water dance. And I think our real mistake here was a month ago, we had a slight leak of our toilet and we went handyman route, we didn't go plumber. And apparently the handyman didn't- Oh, Adonis? Yeah, I didn't want to name names,
Starting point is 00:15:21 but he's been on the show before. Billy loves naming names. Adonis was a guest on our show one time show Billy loves naming names that only he knows now. That's not true. Adonis was a guest on the show I think he made pics or something. We did history crate Yeah, you may have been referencing someone that was on mystery crate But you also love naming people that no one has heard of to have derailment in the show. In fact, you know what? I'm gonna go ahead. do it. Oh wow. What's this?
Starting point is 00:15:46 For naming names, two minutes. It's Slim Pickens, man. For painting a picture. So perhaps next time we have a slight leak, we go plumber right away. Yeah, perhaps. Not just generic handyman. Right, perhaps you should slide over to the seat that Billy was occupying
Starting point is 00:16:06 I mean just you know just out of You know, cuz was there any was there any shit involved or no cuz we had it being shouldn't know there was no shit involved It was just so it wasn't you it was just me waking up to my wife in a panic And we had to use like every beach towel we had to like get the water under control And then I was like, you know what? Once the water was under control, I'm like, honey, I can leave now. I think we got this.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Because the panic I woke up to, my wife was like, you can't leave. The whole house is gonna be flooded if you, because we didn't know if it was stopped flooding. It was just a bathroom full of water, and we got it under control. Plumber was on the way. I was like, honey, the show needs me.
Starting point is 00:16:44 I gotta go. You're a hero then, somebody could claim that you're a hero, an American hero. He's out of breath from driving. Well the traffic was also bad for me. I left my house at like 8.05 and I didn't get here until like now. It's a state of emergency and like I said,
Starting point is 00:17:00 I got several severe weather warnings, not just one, there are several. Did you simply, heroically go behind the toilet and just turn the knob that turns off the water to the toilet? We turned the water off first thing, but we still had a little slight flood issue to deal with. Yes, I know how to turn the water off, I did that.
Starting point is 00:17:17 It was, I had to deal with the water though that we were dealing with. I wouldn't have known how to do that. I know nothing about anything. The knob behind the toilet, Jeremy. Behind the toilet, what have that. I know nothing about anything. But not behind the toilet Jeremy. Behind the toilet, why would you go behind the toilet? Just in case. For what? No, I'm the least handy person you'll ever meet.
Starting point is 00:17:31 The bigger picture here is owning a house is overrated. I'm done with bathrooms, last week HOA told us, we need a new fence. Few thousand dollars, they're not gonna pay for it. Hey, we don't like the way your fence looks, get a new fence. If I didn't own the house, other people would be paying for this. I don't like this, didn't own the house, other people would be paying for this.
Starting point is 00:17:45 I don't like this, I wanna sell the house. I don't want a house. It is annoying when you get one of those letters, like hey, your roof is not meeting our standards. Whose standards? I'll decide that, thank you. Get out of here. I mean, I'll clean my roof when I wanna clean it.
Starting point is 00:17:56 How's that sound? Okay, that sound. Again, the Kimbo Slice thing too, yeah. It sounds totally shitty if you have neighbors who are worried about their other neighbors being inconsiderate about the property value Because they're not taking care of their things and renting That's why you need a homeowners Association a community of people to govern the Stu gots in the neighborhood who tells everybody I'm not going to take care of my lawn
Starting point is 00:18:20 I don't care what it does to everyone's property value You kind of need the community to govern the stugatsas in the homeowners association. Some checks and balances then? Jeremy, I, yes, some checks and balances, stugatsas. That is close to what you would call it. Jeremy is really embarrassing himself when by the standards of this show,
Starting point is 00:18:41 he says he's the least handy person here. No doubt in my mind. We have an incompetent show when by the standards of this show, he says he's the least handy person here. No doubt in my mind. We have an incompetent show when it comes to fixing things around the house. This is a show that is super shitty at that. The thing I wanted to tell you though about the story that we assumed plumbing related was shit involved
Starting point is 00:19:03 for Chris Cody is, Boog Shambi tells the story and it's a great story and it's a terrible story of being on a first date with a woman who comes over to his house and has to use the bathroom and then the bathroom starts to overflow and it starts to overflow, yes, blocking drills when the water starts rising, but the water has poop in it and it starts to overflow and then it does overflow. And Bugshanbi comes to where it is, the woman is on the first date and she's on her hands and knees in the water trying to clean it up and and as soon as she sees Boog, she immediately starts sobbing
Starting point is 00:19:46 because of how embarrassing that is. And it's what I imagine Chris Cody was doing this morning. I imagine Chris Cody on his hands and knees in an emergency trying to clean up his own poop because he had too many burritos last night. That was not in the shit chat. I get it, I get why you hear me toilet issue. Like I get it. I get why you guys go there.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Why we would go there, yes. But it's really just me running to the bathroom with like seven beach towels. I'm like, how can I help, honey? So you were woken up by this? You were sleeping? I was in my snooze mode of alarm. So I was like awake, but my hadn't gotten out of bed yet. My wife got out of bed, walked to the other side of the house and was like, Hey, hadn't gone out of bed yet my wife got out of bed walked to the other side of house and was like hey water and not a great way to wake up beach towels beach towels that would be my all seven of
Starting point is 00:20:31 them that we own just drenched in water right now all over my bathroom floor you are a real hero that that makes you the handyman of your house the towels really yes look we're grading on a very low bar, but can you tell me the distinction between handyman and plumber? Were you trying to go cheap there? Were you afraid that the plumber per hour would cost too much? Adonis has just been our can do it all kind of guy, and he generally does something, and it works for a year. He is the kind of guy, like, if he fixes it a year later, you're gonna have to bring him back
Starting point is 00:21:08 But usually for that year you're good And this was like a couple months ago he came and it was like we have a little leak here He gawked it up whatever the hell he did to this thing. That's not a word cocking is a word actually no Gawking is to look at something Hawking hawk Yeah, I will say this I was kicked out for giving the Adonis context Gawking is to look at something. Cawking. Cawking. Cawking. Yeah, trust Dan on this one. I will say this, I was kicked out for giving the Adonis conk text.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Had I not done that when he said Adonis, everyone would have been confused. You too are an American hero. You also arrive when there's water filling in the room with your seven beach towels and more water. It's also the headiest of plays for being a handyman where you gotta fix something, but then also leave it a little broken
Starting point is 00:21:46 so that later on they call you again to fix it again. All of a sudden, hey, Chris called me. I know that if I leave this a little off, he's gonna call me again in six months, then I got another 150 bucks. I got in my guest bathroom, I live in a condo in the first floor, so somebody lives above me,
Starting point is 00:22:01 and in my guest bathroom, there's a couple of very light brown spots, very light brown spots on the ceiling, and I'm thinking, eh, those will go away. Eh, those will go away, it's not gonna get, and every time I look at it, it's like, it's not any darker than last time, is it? Nah, it's fine, no problem.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Chris, I have a question for you. When you are gawking your bathroom, how do you spell that? How are you spelling, how all your life have you spelled the idea of you are gawking your bathroom. How do you spell that? How are you spelling? How all your life have you spelled the idea of you are taking the tile in your bathroom and you are gawking it? Well, I don't often spell that word,
Starting point is 00:22:33 but if I were to spell it, I'd probably spell it G-A-W-K. How would you spell caulking? Careful, Dan-O. Oh, wow. The, the, the, C-O-A-K. Like dope Campbell, Coke Campbell. It's coking.
Starting point is 00:22:54 I think it's C-A-U-L-K. You've been pronouncing that wrong all of your, all of your life. The Coke. And you were so confident about, no, it's gawking. It's the word. You were pretty confident about it. Yeah. I thought it was ca, it's gawking. It's the word you were pretty confident about it Yeah, I thought I was cocking gawking. Come on. What are we doing here? You guys are mentioning and I want to ask if any of you have
Starting point is 00:23:14 Partaken in this because I thought all of the traffic in the roads wasn't severe weather related I thought it's because everybody's trying to get this iPhone 16 and You are mentioning that things that your handyman corrects things so that you can call him again in six months and he has more work. I don't know what is the biggest company in America. Is it Google, Apple, or Amazon? I don't know among those three which has the most money. One time a guy that worked the front desk of LA Fitness
Starting point is 00:23:43 told me LA Fitness was the biggest company in America because we were arguing with him about like an increase in the thing. I'm like well we're gonna cancel the you know membership and he goes go ahead it's the biggest company in America and we're like I don't know about that buddy. Did you get that membership canceled or no? Oh yeah it was canceled. If you guys had to guess among the three which is the biggest of the companies is it Apple is, is it Amazon, is it Google? I'll go off the board and say the NFL. Yeah, it's not gonna be the NFL.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Really? Yeah, it's not gonna be the NFL. I'm gonna say Apple just because of the extra adapters that they make you buy every time you upgrade. I didn't know there was a whole alphabet after USB. There's like a USB-A, USB-C, USC. I don't even know what these things are. I just got the new 16.
Starting point is 00:24:30 The camera is so big, I don't know where it is. The camera is so big, you have to buy a protective cover just for the camera so that you don't break it every time you put it down. And now I have three different adapters for all my chargers. Well, the reason I bring it up is because Apple has gotten very good and was sued about uh... you know making products that break down so they can feed your addiction afterward it's smart and also illegal
Starting point is 00:24:55 uh... let's just show people on lincoln road what the lines look like outside of the apple store for the iphone sixteen because I don't understand this phenomenon. I don't understand why you cannot wait a couple of weeks. They could have gone to Fort Lauderdale. I got mine in five minutes. Why do you have to have it that immediately though? Why can it not?
Starting point is 00:25:15 Is the difference between the 15 and the 16 so much that? As an older man, Dan, I cannot tell you what the difference is between the 11 and the 16. My partner Anthony has spent the last several days on his phone, the new phone, trying to figure out all the gadgets, all the gimmicks, everything else. Meanwhile, I haven't even been on X since I got it because I don't remember my password
Starting point is 00:25:39 and have no idea how to get there. It is amazing to hear Izzy talk about a partner needing to help him with the young people stuff the way Valerie does every time I'm making noises around the computer like, Ah! What? I sound like my dad. I sound like my dad making these noises around the computer. Eh. Like what is, just any problem that arises. Eh. I hate how much like my father I'm becoming.
Starting point is 00:26:09 It's inevitable.

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. Guess what day it is, friends.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Wednesday? Correct. Good job, Dan. It is, it's Wednesday and you know what that means. Against the spread. That is. It's Wednesday and you know what that means. Against the spread! That is coming up later today, but I don't know if you guys caught what happened last week. Last week we debuted a segment called Bet the House Senate of Representatives, where we had, you know, Senator Peter Welch come on and he accurately predicted that Michigan was going to win last week.
Starting point is 00:31:24 What is the name of the segment? It's called Bet the House. We sent a new. Dot, dot, dot of representatives. A new employee, we sent a new employee out to the Republican National Convention. And Democratic National Convention, both conventions. Bipartisan, Dan-o. Yeah, right down the middle.
Starting point is 00:31:41 And he got sound, a correspondent for Metal Arch Media was getting a sound where we were asking about football games and now we are 1-0 with the bet the House Senate representatives whatever the name of this is. Bet the House of Representatives but last time it wasn't a member of the House of Representatives it was a member of the Senate so then we had to change it to bet the Senate of Representatives so that it was accurate and we asked them you know a number of things but really for the sake of this segment, we
Starting point is 00:32:08 just included the portion of the interview where we made football picks, obviously. But the reason that we can't call the segment Bet the House is because there are liability issues telling people to bet their house? Well, you know, there's things that go on and we've been advised not to tell people to bet the house because if they lose the house, then we're liable and I think we owe them a house or something. I don't know the exact reasons why it is
Starting point is 00:32:35 that we tell people not to, but the point is, you know, bet responsibly, right? But bet responsibly of representatives doesn't make any sense. So we said, we wanted to call it bet the house, but they said you can't tell people to bet the house, so we called it bet theibly of representatives doesn't make any sense. So we said, we wanted to call it bet the house, but they said you can't tell people to bet the house, so we called it bet the house of representatives because we were people talking to congressmen,
Starting point is 00:32:51 senators, representatives. So bet the house of representatives. Rolled right off the tongue and made plenty of sense until the person wasn't in the house of representatives, they were a senator, so then it had to become bet the senate, but that doesn't make sense, so then it just became bet the senate of representatives, obviously.
Starting point is 00:33:05 That was the first one, and we're one and oh. One and oh. I told you guys that Kevin Costner legitimately bet his house on the idea that this movie. On Michigan? On Billy's advice? On Peter Welch's advice? No, no one is listening to that.
Starting point is 00:33:19 House, what? No one is listening to that segment. Passing up free money. He's one and oh, Dan. I mean, listen, when you gamble, you will follow anyone who is providing victory for you undefeated some people are saying Regardless Kevin Costner that he's obsessed with Westerns in a way that's unusual and he had that movie horizon I guess that didn't do very well and he funded it evidently with a I guess that didn't do very well. And he funded it evidently with needing to bet
Starting point is 00:33:46 his actual house on that and he's losing his house on what that bet was because the movie was not well received. Is that official they're coming in to take the house or what? Yes. It seems like someone that has more than one house, so it's probably fun. Again, what Dan didn't mention is it's his fourth house. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:00 But it's a nice one. And it's an expensive one. And it's not losing his house the way Kevin Spacey is presently losing his house, which is the house has been bought in foreclosure and he refuses to leave it. Like he's just staying in the house. Stand off.
Starting point is 00:34:15 You're not gonna give him a feel bad for Kevin Spacey. That's the intention of this. No, just giving you facts. I was not intended to make you feel bad for Kevin Spacey. Buster only used to bet the family farm, if you remember that correctly. He to bet the family farm, if you remember that correctly. He bet the family farm a lot. I don't think anyone ever came and claimed it,
Starting point is 00:34:30 but he bet the family farm a number of times. So do you want to set up this segment? Because as I recall, it had really inefficient imaging. Hmm. Wait, hold on. No, no, no. That was in the toss to it. Now I have to set it up. OK.
Starting point is 00:34:43 He was thinking about it. So last week, as we mentioned, Senator Peter Welch, we caught up with him and we had him pick USC at Michigan and he accurately predicted the winner. Now, we caught up with a number of people, so this is gonna be an ongoing series and as it takes off and as it continues to succeed, I'm excited to announce that more calls
Starting point is 00:35:05 are now being sent out, more invitations are being extended to see if we can get more congressmen and women and senators to be involved in this process now that we've seen what a great success has been. Can't mix politics and sports, but this is how we're gonna do it. What do you mean? This is how we're gonna do it.
Starting point is 00:35:19 We can't. You're not supposed to. Well. People don't want politics with their sports, you know this. I feel like that's all we do here. It seems like the perfect combination here of how we election season everybody's excited wants to talk to who's who of people in the world of politics. So, this is what I'll tell you.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Can you toss it to the inefficient... Stop cutting him off! This is an edition of Bet the House of Representatives. Just a moment. And I can tell you, this week we did not speak to a senator. Here it is. It's time to bid the House of Representatives. Bid the House. Bid the House.

Today's guest, 2020 A Congressional candidate from the great state of, he hasn't decided which state he's running in yet, or which branch of Congress he's running for yet,
Starting point is 00:37:05 but he's definitely running, Enos Cantor Freedom! When the clock hits double zero Saturday, will the fans be chanting Boomer Sooner or War Damn Eagle? Mr. Freedom, who you got? Obviously Oklahoma. So that is actually Enos Cantor who is now Cantor Freedom and he is definitely running for something but we don't know what state. We sent someone out to get that sound.
Starting point is 00:37:36 We flew someone to a political convention to get that sound. We actually have been sitting on this news because he's announced that he's running but hasn't announced what state he's gonna be running for And Thomas who we sent to get this interview actually interviewed him and got from him what states he may be running from But we haven't aired that we've just been sitting on that information. Okay. Well, this is actual exclusive sound For us that metal arc media paid to get someone to give us this is not sound borrowed from the internet or somebody else's interview no no we did this we did this yeah this is that we own this and if anyone else wants to use this they're gonna have to credit catch us play it again you have to lead into

Yes, that's obviously Oklahoma. Ennis, Ennis Freedom, he's legally changed his name to Ennis Freedom, right? Ennis Cantor Freedom, yeah. It's a hyphen, yeah. Mr. Freedom. That's a fine. I don't feel like that's a fine.
