Starting point is 00:01:05 for details. restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it. And now here's the marching band to nowhere, that face and the habitual liar. Billy, do you think that anyone in Raven's in game festivities or marketing when they brought out Tarell Suggs emotionally late in the game to fire up the crowd and show his Championship ring off to people. Do you think that anyone in Raven's Front office or marketing took inventory of the fact that the last championship Terrell Suggs won It was for the Kansas City Chiefs. I know
Starting point is 00:01:41 I'm also just learning this information too. I knew that because it was the Super Bowl that was down here and I had the task of free ESPN radio running around and handing my phone to players so that they could join Mike Tannenbaum's Super Bowl recap live on ESPN radio. And I got Terrell Suggs, he was the person that I got, I ran up and I gave him the phone
Starting point is 00:02:05 and he got the exclusive with Mike Tannenbaum right after the game. And I was very nervous. One, that my phone was gonna die. Two, that I wasn't gonna have reception. And three, that he was just gonna run away with my phone because I heard stories headed into it that players had taken people's phones before.
Starting point is 00:02:20 They just got so excited and they went into the locker room and then you don't have access to the locker room and then your phone is gone and then you have to find someone that can go in there and find your phone. It's a whole thing. So it was a very stressful, it was a very stressful thing. It was my first time that I was covering the Super Bowl at the game, so I didn't want to let the bosses down. So I got Terrell Suggs and then I didn't successfully get anyone else. But I heard they were very excited because they got Terrell Suggs before he was on TV, which is a big get. Even though he didn't really factor that much into the game. They were very excited because they got thrall sogs before he was on TV, which is a big get even though
Starting point is 00:02:45 He didn't really factor that much into the game people do seem to be freaking out about this being a rematch from the game That happened like right before the COVID-19 shut down during the last election cycle. So Mmm, I don't I don't know. Maybe this will like undo the curse Maybe the Niners win this one and things go back to normal now. It's weird. It feels like a nostalgic Super Bowl, even though they last played four years ago. So much about the world has changed since their last matchup that I'm a little worried something bad is
Starting point is 00:03:17 going to happen four weeks after the Super Bowl. Can't get worse. Is this where we're at, where we're now afraid of things that are imaginary? Yes. Yes, we've been there Billy The 49ers win is not gonna undo COVID. I didn't know I was doing the show with John McClain We'll come back to life. Who knows? Kansas City in that game I think people get forgetful about how badly out coach Kansas City was in that game
Starting point is 00:03:43 They don't have Tyree kill anymore and they converted some third and something ridiculous to Tyree Kill with a flutter ball. But like with Garoppolo, San Francisco was a pass away from winning that game and Kansas City had to come back because they got smothered with a much better offense than the one they're going into this game with. They got smothered most of that game. Double digit lead in that one.
Starting point is 00:04:04 I think it's the fifth time in NFL history there's been a rematch of coaches in the Super Bowl. And of course we have Tom Coughlin beating Bill Belichick twice, but all four other times, the coach that won the first time won the second time. That's amazing. I'm just ready for all the AI written blog post and articles on they showed you why they went with Brock
Starting point is 00:04:27 Purdy over Jimmy Garoppolo because when it came time to make the throw because we all know there's going to be a time in that Super Bowl he's going to have to make a play that Jimmy Garoppolo couldn't. Put it on the poll please who do you feel worst for today? Zay Flowers or the city of Detroit Because the city of Detroit is waking up today with a feeling that's going to feel like just an empty sort of sickness. Let's put up this photo of Eminem at the game,
Starting point is 00:04:56 shooting birds at everybody during a happier time when they were, I'm guessing they were winning at that point and things felt better. I was thinking about this this morning. There's a lot of different ways to give the finger, right? Like that's one of the meanest ways. That's like a, yeah, I really don't like you. With the saddles, with the side dance.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Exactly, if you just do like one solo finger, it's like, oh, like, hee hee. We were robbed of a great celebrity musician, Majup in the Super Bowl, the dichotomy of Taylor Swift and her fan base with Eminem and his fan base. He should have leaned in, he should have started dating Sam LaPorta. Can you show for me please on video
Starting point is 00:05:38 because I don't know what happened here, Stu Gotz. Was this playful what was happening before the game with Mahomes and Justin Tucker where Justin Tucker is coming in with His kicking tees and he's putting them in Mahomes his area and Mahomes and Kelsey are going back and forth And they're pulling and kicking Tucker's tees is this a playful thing here little gamesmanship Dan, you know Because Chris Cody Cody what did you think here because it seems like my homes might be playing but I don't know
Starting point is 00:06:08 that Kelsey is playing here it all seems playful to me Justin Tucker seems to be smiling I feel like these guys have like hung out at Pro Bowls I don't know I just add in I didn't see this as like a real incident this seemed playful a real incident no like where people have to be separated and stuff like this is just This has like a real incident. This seemed playful. A real incident. I thought it was a giant incident. No, like where people have to be separated and stuff. Like this is just guys having fun with each other. The tell is the guy in the black coat that appears next to Justin Tucker after the second one, right?
Starting point is 00:06:34 So the first one's like, hey, Justin Tucker laughs it off. He pats him on the back and it's like a whole thing. Then look at the guy over there. See him at the right of the screen in the black coat. There you go. Watch him. The second time he throws up his hands and he's like, what's up? That black coat. There you go. Watch him. The second time, he throws up his hands and he's like, what's up?
Starting point is 00:06:47 That guy was ready to throw down. Watch this. Oh, there he goes. Watch the hands. Here we go. They're coming now. If you're listening on the podcast, this makes no sense. There they are.
Starting point is 00:06:55 To me, what I saw here was just classic Travis Kelsey wanting to get in on the attention. This is Mahomes messing with Tucker. And then Kelsey kind of sees it. He's like, oh, I want to go do that too. This is fun. Oh, there's cameras getting this. Let me go be part of this.
Starting point is 00:07:08 It's like Mahomes and Tucker are already doing this thing. They're just doing a little peanuts bit. Yeah. It's a comic strip happening right now. Kelsey injected himself. I'm not just like, oh, I want some of this attention. I'm not going to pretend to know
Starting point is 00:07:19 what a field goal kicker's pregame routine is supposed to be. I just find that a very odd place to be warming up field goals with. Since? It's a 10 yard field goal kicker's pregame routine is supposed to be. I just find that a very odd place to be warming up field goals with. Since the 10 yard field goal from there. I think Justin Tucker's got that one down. Stugatz, when it comes to dolphin analysis around here, I would say that it's probably not too much of a coincidence
Starting point is 00:07:40 that all four of the teams that you were watching yesterday have dominant tight ends. The Dolphins do not have a dominant tight end. They're a tight end away. The thing that I wanted to ask you though as it relates to Kelsey is, I don't want to get forgetful. I don't want to be prisoner of the moment, but Gronk is the best tight end we've ever seen
Starting point is 00:08:02 and Brady is the best quarterback we've ever seen. But how soon are the two guys in Kansas City, if they haven't already done it at tight end, how soon before they take over the conversation on I'm the best that there's ever been at that position? I think Kelsey is for Mahomes. It's five Super Bowl victories from there. I mean he's not gonna play till he's 45. Brady played in 10 Super Bowls. Mahomes is halfway there and he's got, you know, if he plays as long as Brady, he's got 15 more years to get to 10 Super Bowls played in. Like I don't think anyone is
Starting point is 00:08:41 gonna play anymore as long as Brady does and Mahomes' body isn't gonna hold up because he doesn't play the same way that Tom Brady does. So it's unreasonable to expect him to even play into his early 40s or any quarterback to play into their early 40s. I mean he's one two, Brady one seven. He's got five to go I guess.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Maybe if we get to five, we'll start having that conversation, but he still has to win five Super Bowls, Dan. And he has to win one without the Chiefs. He does. He has to get to six with the Chiefs and then go to a really bad team and win a Super Bowl in his first season with them.
Starting point is 00:09:18 And then we can start discussing. You'll always be able to say that Brady was two and O against Patrick Mahomes in the post season and one of them in the Super Bowl. The only two losses that Mahomes has, he's 8-2 when he falls down in a playoff game by more than 7 and the only time he hasn't been able to recover is against Tom Brady. But Stugatz, you are someone who consistently, when it comes to quarterback play, you will never put anyone other than Brady there
Starting point is 00:09:45 because all you do by way of measurement, I understand it, is winning. Winning, winning, winning. Even though Tom Brady won one of those Superbowls scoring 13 points. But he won. Yes, yes. But I would say there are many people
Starting point is 00:10:01 watching football these days who would say that the skill set that Mahomes has for a quarterback is better than Brady's. I think a lot of people listening to this would make the argument that he can beat you in more ways and now he has this thing that Jessica is talking about at 28, which Brady didn't have this at 28. He's inevitable. He's four of the last five Super Bowls because don't bet against him.
Starting point is 00:10:28 He's hard. This one is tough to come by. Brady got that later in his life. He didn't have it. His first Super Bowl run, Brady threw one touchdown past the entire playoff run. It took him a minute to get to where Mahomes is now. Mahomes is further along now than Brady was at the same age
Starting point is 00:10:46 in terms of just evaluating the skillset. Dan, you're right. Brady, that first season, the first Super Bowl he replaced Drew Bledsoe, he was a game manager. I mean, that's really what he was. And Bill loved him because he didn't turn the ball over. And so, and they ended up winning a Super Bowl. But Patrick Mahomes is not the reason.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Dan, every team's different. And sometimes you need help. And Mahomes is no different reason. Dan, every team's different, and sometimes you need help, and Mahomes is no different, and this year, the defense is really helping them out. They are helping them out, but what you just said about Brady, just don't turn the ball over. That's what Mahomes did yesterday. 100, and Lamar did.
Starting point is 00:11:16 But that's why they won the game. Baltimore's defense isn't just great. They caused turnovers, like they're good at turn turnovers and Mahomes didn't turn the ball over. But they did nothing in the second half except the one throw at the end of the, 67 yards in a half, Stugatz, is dreadful. Baltimore's defense ransacked Kansas City, the second half of that game. Kansas City won that game by simply winning the first half and then just watching Baltimore punch itself
Starting point is 00:11:48 in the face the second half. It was so interesting because you have the two-time MVP versus Patrick Mahomes and you figure offensive fireworks. You figure that, but these two defenses were two of the best in the NFL the entire season. And the game played out exactly like that, even with those two guys playing quarterback. Jessica said shootout.
Starting point is 00:12:09 She said shootout. It was seven, seven shootout. I didn't say shootout. Everyone else said shootout. You're watch party, yes. Yeah. Not the ball knowers, we all know. You would agree, Stu Gatz.
Starting point is 00:12:21 I know we're talking about the Detroit disintegration, but Baltimore disintegrated. Yes. The taunting, the penalties, the stupid penalties, the turning the ball over twice in that kind of game in and around the end zone. I know Detroit because they were the last game and because they were up 24-7
Starting point is 00:12:43 are gonna be accused more of disintegrating today But the way Baltimore played was super immature You know how I know the chiefs are good because they did the fumble into the end zone and they still won the game Folks whether you're hosting a game day a movie night The Giorno knows that planning a watch party on a budget isn't easy. You need the perfect setting, the perfect squad, the perfect eats, and luckily you're a game time mastermind. And you know that grabbing DeGiorno classic crust pizza can bring home the dub because
Starting point is 00:13:16 it's packed with half a pound of cheese, sauce, and other toppings and comes at an incredible price. Make the game winning call and grab a DeGiorno classic crust pizza from the grocery store today. It's not job. It's a stable job. I'm not ready to pack it in. I've got a lot of good football left in me. My footwork is underrated. I can step up in the pocket with the best of them. No one can scare in the field like me. But wouldn't it be nice to be around the family more often and not have to worry about any injuries? Babe, just give me one more season. Stugats. Tell you what, I'm not going to therapy. I'm not. Therapy is not happening. Sorry. You need to
Starting point is 00:14:11 work on you. There's one person pulling the rope for this family right here. And it's Mike Glennon. This is the Don Levitar Show with the Stugats. This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats. Stugats, there are a number of things about Brock Purdy that I find puzzling, including the way all of the measurements at that position have changed over the last few years that make it hard for people to identify whether the quarterback is good by himself or whether he's a product of the system and then we start doing the pie chart
Starting point is 00:14:48 on how much of this is he responsible for, how much is the coach responsible for. But nothing is more confusing to me about Brock Purdy than the incredible passion people have about wanting him to not be as good as some others think he might be. This is the last pick in the draft. This is an underdog story. This has some of the Tom Brady elements to it and when Tom Brady started, he was a system quarterback.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Yes. And then he got so many reps that he became what he became, but I am genuinely puzzled. Why wouldn't you root for the guy who was the last pick in the draft to be great unless the thing that's most important to you is that your assessment of how good someone is has to be exactly right without any dilution by degrees and that's the most important thing not that the guy who's kind of a great story seems to be pretty good and is exceeding every expectation except for yours because you don't want him to be better than you think he is. You nailed it. I don't get that. Like what's happening there? And give me someone else that the coverage of that person is like that, there are some people,
Starting point is 00:16:10 Shannon Sharp among them, so invested in the idea he shouldn't be the reason they win when yesterday, kind of the reason they won. Lucky pass. Okay, but kind of the reason they won. The same pass that Garoppolo didn't get lucky on in the Super Bowl and lost to Mahomes Right, he got lucky that it bounced off a face mask and he advances, but you understand what I'm asking you, right? I don't get the coverage of him. Why root against this person being excellent
Starting point is 00:16:38 Why why root so hard to be right that you want him to lose that game? I think this person was going against America's team yesterday in particular and everyone wanted to see Detroit win. Therefore, they are not happy that Brock Purdy not only won, but was a reason. I'm not talking about just yesterday, though, because it's all the coverage of Bert of Purdy. I'll explain it to you. I think there's a tinge of jealousy because people. Kyle Shanahan makes it look very easy and does a lot of winning
Starting point is 00:17:06 with average to below average quarterbacks in people's minds. Jimmy Garoppolo, Brock Purdy, why can't I have a coach like that? That guy is not that good. That coach, that system makes him good and that frustrates a lot of people. It's this thing we're doing with quarterbacks and I think Purdy is the perfect example of it because you can have a circular argument about like, but Shanahan, but the 49ers, but Perti, but Garoppolo, but Trey Lentz, and then you end up back at Brock Perti doing a really good job on a team where, yeah, like we're giving him credit, we're not
Starting point is 00:17:38 giving credit when they win, but when they lose it's because he played bad, like what, you know, half of the Packers game last week, and so you just end up back where we started every time a conversation starts about him because no one knows really how to discuss the fact that like he's very good, he's doing a job that's very hard. And for the most part, he's doing it really well and the things that he's excels at, not everyone can do.
Starting point is 00:17:57 However, he's not doing the things that we can just look at and be like, wow, like look at that throw by Patrick Mahomes. That was insane, no one else can do that. Or look at that run by Josh Allen, like how does he steamroll defenders like that? And he just ends up in this weird place where we just don't know how to talk about it. There's just no pleasing people for him.
Starting point is 00:18:12 He was getting mocked for his outfit yesterday. And like, I think we have a shot of it. It's a totally fine outfit he's wearing yesterday and just eviscerated. If this is bad, I have no shot at life. If we're gonna make fun of for this, what's wrong with this? It's not that it looks bad,
Starting point is 00:18:27 but it does look like he is headed at five in the morning to his crew meet at Oxford. Like, then it doesn't. It's a quarter zip, just to describe it to people now watching. It's a blue quarter zip, but then he's got like a warm shade shacket on with big pockets.
Starting point is 00:18:42 It's a little bit of a, I guess, I get what they're saying for it. To me, this is just, don't comment on it. It's a little bit of a, I guess I, I guess what they're saying for it. To me this is just like, this is a non, this is just, don't comment on it. It's not great fashion, but it's not terrible. Like to me, that outfit is just, nobody should say anything about it. Just let him live his life.
Starting point is 00:18:55 It's Brock Purdy. But if this is getting mocked, there's nothing he can do. No, but it's like the blue and the tan thing don't go, oh shit, that's what I'm wearing today. I am stunned at the discourse around him him primarily because there is a discourse around him You couldn't find a more unassuming looking or acting person to have such such passion behind the debates where I think we can all agree It's really cool. Mr. Irrelevant got to a Super Bowl this early in his career
Starting point is 00:19:24 But the Lions would have been cooler, I think. But it started like midway through the season when the MVP conversation, I think, is what really like wrinkled a lot of people. The fact that he was part of that conversation at all, even though a lot of times by default, like the quarterback from the best team in the NFL gets considered for the MVP.
Starting point is 00:19:42 And at that point in the season, the 49ers were really standing out in that aspect. So I think that's kind of where it all started. But also like I think this was a little bit of the conversation last year too and as you saw in the game where he broke his elbow and like in the NFC Championship last game last year, like that obviously they had to put in their four string quarterback. So that made a huge difference. And then he came back from a horrible injury this year
Starting point is 00:20:05 and is still leading his team to the Super Bowl. And it's like, there's still some weird conversation to be had about it. Even like, I'm with Mike. I kind of want to just be like, cool, good for him. That's cool. No, Mike is right. Mike's on the right side of this.
Starting point is 00:20:17 We should all be celebrating this. The fact that this guy is headed to the Super Bowl. He has 44 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in his first two seasons. That's ridiculous. Interceptions happened on one of the most of huge Monday night games ever, which is where there was always a weird discourse around Brock Hardy. And then it just got hyper loud. But I kind of agree with everybody here, not just scrappy underdog last pick in the NFL draft,
Starting point is 00:20:45 also bouncing back from an injury. That is going up against Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl. And we're not having this great, it's not leading good morning America. This is the American Dream personified. It should be something that is viewed almost universally as a really cool positive story. How are the Chiefs underdogs?
Starting point is 00:21:03 It's only two points. Is Purdy the most gay? Is Purdy the most boring Super Bowl playing quarterback ever? Stan Humphries, Chris Chandler. Okay. Got your ass. I do think part of the conversation is like, well if Brock Purdy were on the Chiefs, like they wouldn't be in the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:21:20 And it's like, well he's not. And his team is in the Super Bowl. And that's pretty cool. So what are we doing? We're just making up hypothetical situations to like argue against each other. People are not all about this matchup. Just what sports is all about, really?
Starting point is 00:21:33 I love it. Yes it is. That is what we're doing. People are not about this matchup, I guess because they wanted to see LeMore and they wanted to see the Lions there. I think because we just had it too. Like we just watched 49ers Chief Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:21:44 But it's different now. in terms of roster construction, you're seeing what happens to a roster as you systematically have to strip away key pieces because the quarterbacks contract gets bigger and bigger. This is a different Chiefs team. They're all fence, looks a hell of a lot different now. And you have the other side of the coin the rookie contract we can we can exploit that inefficiency if we have a guy that wins at this contract that sees him taking
Starting point is 00:22:10 home just over a half a million dollars after taxes we can build this mega team around him it's two totally different ways to build your team I and when you look at the head coaches you could not ask for a better matchup. I just love this Super Bowl and I hate that people are down on it because they wanted the underdog story when Brock Purdy is the underdog story. I feel the way, if I could make a comparison that maybe some people won't like.
Starting point is 00:22:37 I feel the way about Brock Purdy that I feel about Barbie. He's doing a good job. He's done really well. He's good. Barbie, good movie. I liked it. I Don't know if I need to say more than that I mean no matter what but they're both good I think and I'm worried about fashion next week when we started this talking about what Brock perty was wearing
Starting point is 00:22:58 That's what I'm saying And I'm a little bit worried about the circus that is gonna be this cruise fashion shows that everyone's going to be putting on for themselves. Like I feel like- You can't just show up like Brock Purdy. Like I wanna be like Brock Purdy. Let me just wear something no one can't but no. Exactly. But it's gotta be all like a Tony with their style.
Starting point is 00:23:15 I've been planning my outfits for Vegas for like six or seven weeks. I'll be wearing this. You got your outfits planned for Thursday, Friday shows? His stylist is on it. I have a lot of concerns in general about everything Super Bowl related. Billy was telling me, and I don't know
Starting point is 00:23:31 which one we wanted to root for, that we were very close to having a Detroit Lions hotel because Circa, evidently, has a lot of Detroit Lion connections, and we were very close to having a huge party atmosphere where it is that we were independent of anything that we were doing. I was told that the owners from Detroit
Starting point is 00:23:53 and is a big Lions fan, also a big fan of the show I was told and had the Lions made it to the Super Bowl, I imagine that that would have been like Lions central and it would have been a home base for the Lions. So in early in that game It looked like wow this is going to be a very rowdy atmosphere for at like an unofficial team hotel But then the Lions didn't win so can we talk about the fact that me Mina might have drinks them
Starting point is 00:24:17 Do you guys see her tweet? I? Hate jinx stuff, but please Tweeted I can't believe we might start and finish the season with Alliance Chiefs game. So, might, she limped in with the verb might. Just don't say anything. Might is a jinx. You don't say anything. You don't say anything.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Nothing. Okay. But everyone's planning. Well, she didn't say might. I didn't tweet it verbatim. Everyone's planning these fashion shows. Has anyone looked at what the weather might be? Because yesterday I saw videos from Stadium Swim and it was a beautiful 70 degree day
Starting point is 00:24:48 and it looked amazing out there. But people forget that Las Vegas can get cold. Well, let me ask the question of the group here because this is chief among my concerns and I've got many of them. How much, put this on the poll please, Juju, at LeBatard Show, do you trust the 14 day forecast? Because, I haven't checked since, but 14 days ago, this is what I saw and it mortified me. Everything 12 days out is fine.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Then it grows to 40 and 50 degree weather with 18 and 19 mile per hour winds and the sun gets covered by clouds in the 14 day forecast. But I have no- Don't look today, because it's supposed to rain. I have no earthly idea how accurate the 14 day forecast are.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Whether people make that shit up all the time, don't worry about it. It doesn't matter. It's day to day. You don't need to, don't pay attention. There's a cold front coming in. Allegedly, until it doesn't. And then, oh, I remember so though.
Starting point is 00:25:48 I think they have an idea through five days, but once you get to day six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, they're guessing. It's a guessing game. Day to day is a guessing game. They have no idea. Exactly right. You can throw whatever weather at me.
Starting point is 00:26:01 There is no such thing as a bad day in Vegas. I was out there for a Skyler Thompson playoff start, start and it was 45 degrees and the wind was howling and I was at Stadium Swim. I had an amazing time. The internet says a seven day forecast is right 80% of the time. Five day forecast 90% but anything a 10 day or longer is about half right. Thank you. None of that's true. If you'd like to freeze with us at Sadie and swim at Circa Hotel February 8th and 9th at 10 a.m. Pacific time by the way We can now gear this towards markets Kansas City, and I know Sue gots is quite the popular figure among The 49 are faithful. I should be no they hate you
Starting point is 00:26:42 We're gonna be out there. I'm so fan base. Why would they hate I gave the chiefs the motivation? They need it. I did circa Las Vegas dot com slash Lebatard to reserve your tickets now Don lebatard kiss me where you bruise me Yes, me on that fleshy part Really? that fleshy part really yeah really on that fleshy part taste me not touch me taste me on that fleshy part wow wow Bruce Stugatz I'm talking about the clitoris now we're out here riffing and I'm gonna try to find it if I can. Wonderful rendition.
Starting point is 00:27:26 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugads. What could possibly go wrong with a lot of electrical equipment and rain? Oh, Dan, don't be this guy. Come on, man. Don't be this guy. We're gonna have to scared Why can't I be scared? There is a dark cloud hanging over this Super Bowl broadcast and its name is Dan LeBatard Hey, there's no such thing as a bad day in Vegas as I just said you'll still find a way to sweat Let's have fun. There's also pools around. Yeah, so like there's gonna be water there regardless. Let's lean in
Starting point is 00:28:04 I almost rather it be 36 degrees and howling Let's make a memorable guy. I know that it's gonna be cold because Chris Cody's been texting me asking me like hey What should I wear? No, I was just like what are you thinking? I just picture her being on top of it with like the temperature What are you thinking we're gonna get because I'm picture her being on top of it with like the temperature. What do you think we're going to get? Because I'm looking at the forecast, but it's like, Jess, what are we going to get for the live show? Aren't we presently today getting the coldest winter day we've gotten in South Florida by it being in the low 50s?
Starting point is 00:28:37 Is that not the coldest that it's been in South Florida? I understand you're wearing shorts, Jessica, and this is shorts weather for you. But is this not the coldest South Florida day we've had? Because I'm assuming that Chris Cody has things in his closet that don't get used for years at a time, that he's gonna be breaking out something
Starting point is 00:28:55 that usually doesn't get worn because we don't have cold days in South Florida. No, I bought some stuff because I'm feeling the pressure from around here to look stylish. Just the, everyone. Tony and Mike Fuente, mystery. Yeah, what?
Starting point is 00:29:09 Well, Dan also got a stylus, and he establishes the board. I did not get a stylus. You might have. I've never seen you wear a hoodie before. I mean, what's the big deal? Today you really melted in. Your stylus is going to be mad. One of my brother's hoodies, and my wife is my stylus.
Starting point is 00:29:23 I don't have a stylus. Oh, so you just confirmed you have a stylist. She bought me clothes for our anniversary and for my birthday and for Christmas. What does she charge you to be your stylist? Everything. She gets all of it. But it dips into the 50s
Starting point is 00:29:39 and we don't have clothes for that down here. I went on a date. I wanted to tell you guys about on Saturday that was magical because does your wife know? I think at some point when you're married it becomes a date night. Really? Yeah, it's not a date. I'm with Chris.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Yeah, Dan will get the link up. I had a date night with my wife. Let's see where it goes not a date. I'm with Chris. Yeah, then we'll get the light. I had a date night with my wife. Let's see where it goes though Sorry Dainia is where it went. Oh That's the look I was expecting really from you Chris Cody comedy show Yes, you guys do the fun thing where you pick stuff out of a hat like where we going tonight date night. Oh, Daniel No, we were going to the dania improv and
Starting point is 00:30:27 No, we were going to the Dainia Improv and we left a couple of hours early and when you leave a couple of hours early for Dainia, there's not a lot to do in Dainia. Just highlight. They still have that? Well they have the front end which has been modernized. You wouldn't recognize it if you went there. It has, it's a legitimate casino now, but We were headed over there and we saw on a billboard a Concert was happening right then that minute as we were driving by and so we're like
Starting point is 00:30:58 All right, this should be funny and that's how Saturday night. I ended up at a concert for quiet riot nice This should be funny. And that's how Saturday night I ended up at a concert for Quiet Riot. Nice. Ha ha ha ha. Celebrating 40 years of metal health. Ha ha ha ha. They are old rockers and it's a little hard to explain. And they brought it and they had great energy and they were enthusiastic
Starting point is 00:31:25 about being there, but Chris, this was at the former Dainia Highlight Fronton. That's where it was in something that felt like either a banquet hall. I'll call it an auditorium to be kind, but it was more of a banquet hall. And I'm asking you guys, what do you imagine would be, I don't know how old these guys are,
Starting point is 00:31:45 they just put a picture up on the screen. That was about 20 years ago, the picture that they just put up on the screen. These guys are old rockers. Again, celebrating 40 years of metal health is what the celebration of the tour was. And Mike, you go to concerts all the time, metal, I would assume, ages more poorly than other kinds
Starting point is 00:32:07 of music with the oldest of rockers, bringing that sort of energy. I'm going to guess those guys are close to 70. Yeah. Well, what tends to not age well is a vocalist. Anyone that's seen this incarnation of GNR and seen Axl continue to insist on a three and a half hour set, whereas Voice is taxed by the end. And because of TikTok, Motley Crew concerts have also gotten pretty popular,
Starting point is 00:32:34 trying to understand and decipher what Vince Neil is going to say. But I haven't seen Quiet Riot. I do enjoy the Aging Legacy Act. I think it's great nostalgia. They don't need to sing well. We'll do the singing. So when Come Feel the Noise came on, were you just out your chair feeling the noise?
Starting point is 00:32:51 Unfortunately, we had to leave before that was over. That's a tough look. I had to get to the comedy show. Watching the B-sides for Quiet Riot. I mean, that's the moment you pull out your lighter, you sing along with the crowd, you sing with the band. Kevin Dubow, by the way, I think, is the lead singer of Quiet Riot. He's 52 years old.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Not as old as you would think. Oh, that's much younger than I thought he was. He did not look 52. Well, they live hard. Yeah. Despite the health. There's a 73-year-old, so I feel like some of these may be new members of the riot.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Yeah, you always want to look like how many original members are Are we still doing lighters or cell phone lights? Put it on the Chris thank you for bringing that up because the single funniest thing at this show was the crowd Because I want you to imagine. How do you think? was the crowd, because I want you to imagine, how do you think? To Greg Cody's? How do you, well just know, the person who was
Starting point is 00:33:48 into metal when they were 19 years old, how do you think the last 40 years have treated that person? Did you see, speaking of aging bands, did you see the kid-and-play video that's going around from this pack's weekend? It's so good, it's so sad. Put it on the poll please At LeBatard show. Does the late does the aging legacy act in rock and roll make you sad? But fine for me video,
Starting point is 00:34:12 please better be careful. We're about to be the legacy aging podcast act. That's right. We're very close or about there to the 20th anniversary tour. We got a lot of new members. We got a lot of our final tour. See it our final tour. Milk that thing for a year. See it in Vegas. See it in Vegas. All the seminal moments. Such hits from our first album that changed your lives such as Grading 80's songs with Pat Riley.
Starting point is 00:34:36 We're kicking off our five year farewell tour. We're in our residency era. You guys better play Cheety Ahana too at the concert. Can you guys in video get for me that video, Stugat? This will make you feel old. Of Kid, again one of the members of this act is named, goes by the name Kid. He is no longer a kid and the other one is Play. Jessica are you even familiar with Kid and Play? I don't know what's happening right now. I was gonna say, if we're talking about old people that look older than they are,
Starting point is 00:35:06 we should bring up the Greg Cody illustration. That's in one of our new little, oh, they have it here. Oh, there it is. They mean Angel Resto. What did you do to my, there is a liver spot. Liver spot, right on the right cheek.
Starting point is 00:35:21 I mean, that is so cruel. The wiry eyebrows. That looks a little like my father. We need to show that to Greg tomorrow. You know how different he looked the last time the Chiefs and Niners played in the Super Bowl. That shows you how much has happened. Kid is 59 years old. Wait till I show you this video of Kid and Play. I don't know what that dance is called Billy. Do you have any idea? It's called the Kid and Play. Okay. Yeah it's like when you zoom into a meeting even though you're
Starting point is 00:35:53 using a different platform it's always gonna be zooming. That dance move is the Kid and Play. And Kid and Play are you not I forget which insurance they're doing a commercial for which probably really annoys whoever came up with that idea. But there's a commercial that they're in, and the whole thing is it's getting played, they're having a house party. I forget which one has a really bad die job. Darrell Bock Video, when you do find that, just put it in the corner of the screen and just leave it there for people because I know that we didn't warn you that this was coming, so it's going to take a minute to find and pair parrot against whatever it is that that dance
Starting point is 00:36:28 looked like 30 years ago when they were doing the kid in play but the the reason that I went Stu gots beyond needing a couple of hours to kill and being in Daniel where it can be hard to find a couple of hours to kill if you are lactose intolerant and don't want to go to Jackson's ice cream. That place is good. So good though. Oh my god. Yes. It is wonderful. Oh I've been to Jackson's. It's worth the risk if you're lactose intolerant. No doubt. Right? Like that's one that you go you know what I'll deal with the repercussions of this decision. Tommy Antsitty. Exactly right. Put it on the pole pleaseuju, is if you're lactose intolerant is Jackson's ice cream, the only thing that's worth the risk.
Starting point is 00:37:11 But the reason Stugans I went is because I simply was hoping to run into a high school burnout of mine, any of them from whenever, in the 80s, these people were into quiet riot because come on, feel the noise was dangerous when you spell it C-U-M. And the crowd at this thing, Stugatz, because quiet riot themselves, vocalists still bringing it strong, he is not deteriorated, not that much anyway. But it was absolutely the crowd that was worth watching because the metal crowd. I'm guessing maybe Metallica's crowd ages okay here, but if you're a quiet riot, it's a specific kind of crowd.
Starting point is 00:37:59 If you love the hair bands of the 80s, If it's gonna be poison or white snake or one of these, one of these, that's not even, those are not even legacy. Well, poison would be a legacy act, I suppose, but the white snake doesn't get to be a legacy act, do they? Why don't they do? If they're still out there doing their thing,
Starting point is 00:38:16 white snake, are you kidding? If you play Xeminal Coconut Creek Casino, you are a legacy act, my friend. I feel like Green Day is a legacy act at this point. No. Put it on the pole.. I feel like Green Day is a legacy act at this point. No! Put it on the pole. Is Green Day so old that they're a legacy act already? 1-282?
Starting point is 00:38:31 Yeah, I mean they're still out there getting contemporary airplay on alt rock stations, but yeah, it's not an insult to say you're a legacy act. If anything, it's a compliment. I don't know why people would take exception to that. I go to a music festival in Daytona every year called Welcome to Rockville, and occasionally you'll see the cross-section between alt-metal, new metal from the early 2000s and legacy acts. I'm watching Judas Priest there and I can't wait to see them.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Two guys, here you go. Watch on the screen here. These used to be young people. Kid and play dancing and doing the kid and play dance here oh my god they're not moving real fast let's see you guys do it look for the hamster and grab at the end oh one more time stay with it for the pool the hand me play safe for the pooled hamm. Look at play after when he goes to start singing. Sly grab here. Wait, hold on. He plays it off. Little bit.
