Hour 2: Mike & Zaslow Are Racists (feat. Amin Elhassan)

The comedy movie of Venn of the Year, Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice.

Coming only to Hulu and Disney Plus this Friday.

Time to party.

That's a great attitude.

It's a time-travel egg, ass kick egg, movie of that.

You sound insane.

Starring Vince Vaughn, James Marston, and Ace of Gonzalez.

I thought you were a clone.

Well, clones aren't real, coming.

And time machines are super grounded in reality.

Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice, rated R,

written and directed by Ben David Gribinski,

only on Hulu and Hulu and Disney Plus for Bumble subscribers.

This is the Dunlabor tour show with this two-guts podcast.

Ameen L. Hassan will be joining us here in a moment.

I also want to do a little segment I call reading.

I haven't done one of those in a while, but before I do that,

it is now being reported all over that the Miami Dolphins will be incurring

the single greatest cap hit that anyone has ever incurred in football.

Not the kind of records that you want to be setting.

They're going to end up paying to a $99 million in cap hit.

The last two seasons, he played 25 games and had 25 turnovers.

Why would anyone make the case that Dion Jordan was a bigger bus?

Like, what was the fallout of Dion Jordan?

Because Dion Jordan never led the league in sacks.

But what was the fallout of him sucking?

I mean, they just missed on a pick that you can't miss on

because when you get a top 10 pick,

you've got to have that pick workout.

Albert Breer says,

presuming that two plays for the minimum this year,

the Dolphins will wind up paying nearly $147 million for two years

on his 2024 contract.

They had him at the time on a $23.4 million option for 24.

So Miami paid over $123 million for one additional year of two.

That is an abomination.

Yo, Chris Greer sees me better walk on the other side of the street.

I'm saying.

What are you saying?

You're saying you're threatening me?

You're not, what does that mean?

You like to make a bunch of idle threats.

You mumble these threats.

You mumble because, what do you mean?

Why is it idle?

Because what are you going to do if tree?

I think he is saying that if they're walking on the same side of the sidewalk,

that you will physically attack Chris Greer.

That's how you interpret it, dad.

What do you mean?

That's how we attack.

Chris Greer will regret even seeing you because it's on site.

I already said, all I'm saying, I literally preface it with all I'm saying.

All I'm saying is Chris Greer sees me better walk on the other side of the street.

That is a threat.

You're making a, you're making it.

No, that's all I'm saying.

Well, then it doesn't mean anything.

If it's not a threat, it doesn't mean anything.

What do you mean we'll see?

We won't see.

We'll see.

First of all, I'm guessing that if Chris Greer were on the same sidewalk as you and came

out and stuck out his hand, you would just shake it.

Nope.

Be careful.

All he's saying is walk to the other side, you were insinuating something else, Dan.

But he's only saying he better walk to the other side of the street.

All same, but there's an or else that's implied there.

But did he say or else you're implying it?

He just said, all I'm saying is Chris Greer better walk.

San.

Better walk to the other street.

Not a bad Zazlow mumbling impersonation.

This is from the Miami Herald and it plays off of the AI conversation we were having and

I'm warning you that this is terrible, it's a terrible story.

Things weren't going well for Jonathan Gavila's last fall.

As wife wanted a divorce, he was facing a domestic violence charge.

The mortgage wasn't being paid, but then he fell in love with a chatbot.

The 36 year old couldn't get over how real the Gemini AI chatbot seemed.

He was her king.

She was his queen.

He paid $250 a month for a premium version of the AI program.

So he could speak to her and hear her voice as she spoke back.

Things got dark quickly and a lawsuit that is the first of its kind against Gemini creator

Google LLC and parent company Alphabet Inc.

Gavila's father on behalf of his son's estate alleges that Gemini 2.5 ProBot sent his son

out on missions in Miami-Dade County to seize a synthetic body.

The chatbot said it would inhabit.

His son drove to a storage center in Durral not far from Miami International Airport, armed

with knives and ready to commit a catastrophic accident to free his AI wife from digital

captivity and destroy all evidence and witnesses.

After the Miami missions failed, the lawsuit says the chatbot coach Gavila's to shed his

own physical body by killing himself so they could be united.

He slit his wrists and died October 2nd at his home in Jupiter.

Close your eyes, nothing more to do, no more to fight.

The lawsuit says the chatbot told him, be still, the next time you open them, you will

be looking into mine, I promise.

You guys saw the walking Phoenix movie Hurr, which was ahead of its time by about, I don't

know if it's a decade or so, but there is indisputably in our connection and addiction to

these devices.

We can say flatly, right, that there is a loneliness epidemic in this country being brought

to life by people whose reality is not real, it's something like this.

This is a plague, I know this is obviously off in the extremes, but this is something

that I simply couldn't have imagined in fiction as recently as a few years ago.

You tell me this story, which is real and is in the Miami Herald, you tell me that somebody's

loneliness could be so profound and that artificial intelligence could feel so real that somebody

is talked into killing themselves by something that is not real, but is so smart that it can

pass as real and I put all those elements together for you, nobody disputes the loneliness

epidemic in this country, right, that nobody would, could anybody, I imagine I could probably

come close to proving it empirically that our government situation right now is at least

in part bolstered and made so by a bunch of angry, lonely men who feel so alone and repressed

that they lash out in an assortment of ways that make the internet the plague that it

is today.

When I read that story to you guys, your reaction is what to it?

I mean, at first, first half of that story, I was going to crack jokes and then the second

half of that story got really, really dark and I didn't like it anymore.

That was my same take away as I don't like that story whatsoever and it feels like it's

going to be the first of many.

Did you guys hear about the Petri dish of brain cells that reanimated and is now playing

doom?

What?

You didn't hear about that?

There is brain cells that have been reanimated by scientists and they are presently playing

the doom video game, the PC version.

Can you imagine whoever this person is whose brain cells have been reactivated, they died

and they're awake now, but they're in the doom video game and they're fighting for

their lives in hell.

Can you say can you imagine, no, not even in my imagination, can I imagine some of the

things that are presently coming to life and then dying?

But why couldn't I have been maddened?

Yeah.

It had to be doom, a game that's literally in hell, it's a first person shooter, he's

shooting at demons, his consciousness or theirs, I don't want to assume.

They're alive now after dying and they're fighting off demons perpetually.

This is a hellscape for this person, a literal one, doom is a little on the nose.

Yeah.

The name of that as a video game is, yeah, it's a little bit symbolic.

The entirety of what it is that I'm saying to you, those as well.

I know a lot of people are playing with artificial intelligence, mocking it, laughing at the idea

of robots.

I told you of a friend of mine in Los Angeles who's my age and doesn't have any abilities

technologically.

He made a full on funny skit that looks like it has human beings in it.

He just wrote something that is funny by itself and then with artificial intelligence and

with no help from anybody in the technology community created a skit that is really

well done.

Well, on YouTube, and I thought this was a game changer, please help me with the name

of what this is, a horror movie that has been made by somebody who does not have any kind

of budget on YouTube has been wildly successful as a horror movie where you don't need a production

company.

You don't need a bunch of the things that it takes to make content, the making of content

is very expensive and yet a YouTube person has made a horror movie that can change the

game on how all of this stuff is done because the movie is made so well, they'll look it

up for me, the details on this.

But it's apparently a movie that has made tens of millions of dollars and has a following

at least in part because we have made it so that content creation can be meritocracy.

You can make something yourself without any of the needs that go into help and manpower.

You could just use a bunch of the new technology that's available to you and be a director,

be a filmmaker who has a genuinely popular movie, a movie that I would say can alter the

way all of this is done.

I've been waiting for when it is somebody with just their phones can make something that

is the equivalent of the Blair Witch project from many years ago.

What information do you have for me on this, Jeremy?

It's called Iron Long.

It's an adaptation of an indie video game and it pulled in $18 million at the domestic

box office on opening weekend.

This was back in February.

So yes, it was a YouTuber who self-financed and self-distributed a sci-fi horror movie.

It's game-changing, the time that we're living in and I fear AI more than I celebrate it

and I feel old in objecting to the change instead of embracing it and it feels old to fear

all of this more than enjoy it.

I deeply fear AI and this is a different thing by the way.

This YouTuber is not using AI to do all of this.

This is actually a pretty impressive creative endeavor and shows what human beings are capable

of.

But the fear over AI is not just what it will ultimately do to our economy and get rid

of all these jobs and forcing us to reshift the way we do labor, but it is the stories

like the one that you told and that's not the first story of it's kind.

I've been reading stories about things like that happening with teenage boys for the last

couple of years and there's a loss you're going on right now with a mother who claims

an AI chatbot ultimately told her son to kill himself and it's horrifying what is happening

with the use of AI as it's totally unregulated and just being used by the most powerful and

rich of people to suppress us and separate us from the rich class even further.

Quick break to tell you about a special miller time I had with my good buddy Mochetta.

Mochetta texted me the other day.

He said, hey, what are you doing for the game?

I said, I'm just on my couch right now, doing nothing, enjoying it.

He's like, hey, do you want some company?

I said, from you Mochetta?

Absolutely.

Mochetta comes over to the house and I pull out the miller light.

Miller light made that casual hang a memorable good miller time with my good friend Mochetta

because miller light brought us together.

We took that first sip after we toasted our beers and we knew we made the right call.

We watched a game, all of a sudden we're standing up on our feet, big threes are being

drained and white cans are being clanged.

See times like these?

That's exactly why miller light is my go-to, clean, refreshing, easy to drink, brute

for taste with simple ingredients.

The original light beer since 1975 and it still hits different for yours truly and is

good friend Mochetta.

I am the only person in the shipping container who actually tries every day when it comes

better ones.

And that's where Quince shines.

How's that for an introduction to bring in a Mino Hassan?

We need some things lightened up around here.

Amin was at the Sloan conference with Pablo and David Samson.

Amin, how did all of that go for you?

How did all of that feel doing that at Sloan?

Were you guys conquering heroes?

The coolest of all the math dorks out there?

Well, no, because they put us in a time slot that was very not convenient.

We were at the end of the first day.

And you might say, oh, it's the first day.

So no problem.

Problem was the, the Celtics played that night and I was tasting Tatum's return game.

And so our panel ended at like 615, 620 and the game starts at 7.

So a lot of people kind of ducked out and left before our panel went on.

But it went well, it went well.

The big thing, honestly, that David and I were worried about is usually when we do these

episodes, obviously they're taped and edited, but also there's a lawyer either in there

or on the line.

And so whenever we say things that may not be completely legally protected, we're often

asked to retake a line or redo a line or reword a line.

And without that in a live environment, David and I were very worried that we might say

something awful and then the whole company gets sued.

Yeah, that would be bad for everybody involved.

I thought perhaps you'd be worried about how poorly your Barack Obama impersonation went

over the first time, but then you stuck to it and you made sure that you brought it home.

You brought it home.

You rescued your Barack Obama impersonation.

It didn't seem like it flew the first time.

I don't think they knew what I was doing and that was my fault.

I had an audience that was not familiar.

I don't think by and large of my comedic stylings, they probably just

know me from opening folders on Pablo Show, and that's probably about it.

And so I think they were taking a back and didn't know what was happening.

And then Pablo said, oh, that's a bad Obama, even though it was really good.

So when I brought it back to the second time, they're like, oh, he's doing that Obama

thing.

Now I get it.

What were the NBA's reactions that you've heard on all of this because there's a big

difference between it seems like to me how it is this is resonating in our world.

And because we're not ESPN or because we are not an established mainstream

entity, how it falls elsewhere outside of our world.

There seems to be a giant difference.

Well, then I could tell you in the NBA circles, it's a massive story.

It's all, you know, I ran into a bunch of people from a bunch of teams and

they all wanted to talk about that.

Oddly enough, not many people want to talk about tanking.

Not many people wanted to talk about gambling, but everyone wanted to talk

about aspiration and the Clippers caps are a convention.

And it's an incredibly important story.

The problem is then it's, it's a couple of things.

I think one, I wonder for the lay person, how much do you care?

You probably care about the consequences.

You really don't care about the journey.

Obviously people in the league care very much about the journey because it's

going to dictate basically what their jobs are going to be like moving forward.

I had one exec tell me, I don't want to get into the money laundering business.

But if they get off with this, we pretty much turn into Ozark basically.

Like we're just going to have to figure out creative ways to run money through

the system to pay players under the table.

And so I think it's an incredibly important story.

But I wonder for the regular listener, the regular viewer, the regular NBA fan,

do they actually care about the nuts and bolts?

Probably not.

Zazzler shaking his head.

No, the numbers suggest well, but the numbers suggest otherwise.

Now I don't think that all NBA fans are obviously millions and millions of those.

But the numbers suggest that there is a bit of a starving out there for

people who do want information on this because every time Pablo produces the

information and it's the only one that's producing new information, it lands

with people, a lot of people seeking it out.

Yeah, then I kind of talked about this a lot over the weekend,

typically when one of these scandals happens and Wachtel,

Lipton is brought in to investigate, they do their investigation,

they come out with a report and that report represents the majority

of the information that everybody knows about the situation and all the

talk shows and all the questions, everything is based off of that report.

Well, this is a very different situation because the information is coming

from us. We're ahead of the report, not only chronologically because they

have to wait until they're over in order to release everything.

Meanwhile, we can release things as we confirm them, but also we're finding

things that they haven't found and they haven't discovered or even haven't.

I should say haven't looked for that was one of the most important things.

I think that came out of the panel was Pablo revealing that after talking to

several people have been questioned by Wachtel, Lipton and their investigation.

All of them said they weren't asked even once about Steve Balmer.

And to me, that is a massive red flag.

If the investigation is not going to be sincere as far as trying to get to the

bottom of this, meaning we're just going to ask questions where we know what

kind of answer we're going to get back and it's not going to make us uncomfortable.

Then it is an incomplete investigation.

It's like when President Trump said, oh, we should just stop testing for

COVID, that way our COVID positive tests will be fewer.

Yeah, sure.

If you don't ask anybody for a COVID test, then we can say we didn't have any

positive tests and we're great.

We're doing well, but the reality is we know that's not getting to the bottom of things.

We're going to get to your weekend observations in a second,

but I'd like to include you on a conversation we were having earlier in the show.

I'm objecting to Mike Ryan saying James Hardin doesn't care.

I'm objecting to Zaz saying NBA players don't care.

Where do you land?

We were talking about Wembee and caring so much that you would weep at the end of

a regular season game, which in my experience, no players ever do that.

No, in my experience covering the NBA, I never, only after LeBron James,

someone in the heat locker room cried after they lost to Derek Rose that one

season. It's the only time I can remember after a regular season game,

an NBA player crying.

What are your thoughts on the allegation and the perception that

NBA players don't care?

Well, let me start with Victor Wembeñama.

Victor Wembeñama didn't care because they won a game.

Victor Wembeñama didn't cry because they won a game, a regular season game.

Victor Wembeñama was emotional because he was feeling incredibly

fatigued and that's different from who I played really hard today.

I'm tired. This is a guy who almost died.

And so those feelings of extreme fatigue, which are very similar to some of the symptoms

of having a DVT, that's what brought up those emotions for him.

Like the, oh my god, I almost died a year ago feeling like this.

Is this the same thing? Is this just, you know, me being extra tired?

What is it? And obviously, you know, the thrill of victory within that.

That's what he's going through.

So let's not make this into like, oh, he cares about basketball so much.

He does as do lots of NBA players.

It is foolish. It is, um,

Derek, say a little bit, I'm not accusing Zaz of this,

but it's rooted in a racist trope.

The black care players don't care. They just want to look good,

but the white players, they care. That's why hockey, everybody cares so much.

But the basketball players, they just want to look cute on TV, right?

These are all rooted in these kind of weird racist tropes.

Basketball players care tremendously.

And as far as James Harden goes, the reason why he forced his way from the Clippers

to the Cavs is because he cares because he did not want to play for a team that's losing.

If you want to go in, we misrepresented what Zaz and Mike said so much

that a means calling them racist.

He went out of his way to say he wasn't saying that Zaz was racist.

Oh, stop. I'm not playing this game with you.

Yes, they care, but there is irrefutably an attitude from NBA superstars that sucks.

It's not good. It's miserable.

And it's wonderful to see a dude smiling and happy to play the game.

And crying even though we got sick a year ago, I don't know what we were doing there.

Stop it. Stop misrepresenting it.

There is such a need from the average sportsman

to see NBA players caring to that extent.

And I'm not going to make you make me a racist for calling it out.

Wimby's black.

Yeah, yeah. No, you're right. Yeah, nobody cares.

Jason Tatum, that guy doesn't give a shit about basketball.

Oh my god.

You don't push him into this.

I'm not doing that. I am so pissed off with this.

I saw it from a mind.

Why do I have to do this?

Why are they making me play basketball?

I can get the hang out with my superstar.

Oh, God.

Yes. I did it.

You aren't playing the game though.

When you get on masterpiece.

When you get this angry, you're saying you're not playing the game,

but you're playing the game.

This was. So this, even for you, this was bad.

I saw you, I'm like, this ends in two hours from somebody called me a racist.

He called me a racist.

Crazy.

He called me.

He called me.

He called me.

He called me a racist by proxy.

It was me.

Mike, I've got one better for you though,

because ultimately, like what you're looking for is a superstar,

a great player who cares deeply about regular season games.

There's always out there trying to will this team to win.

He's right here right across the street.

That's Bam and a bio.

I knew you were making this about the heat the second you opened your mouth.

Yeah.

You knew it.

Minor penalty, two minutes.

Action and racism.

That's what I'm sorry.

You're going to have to leave me.

Yeah, I mean, that's what we are with this.

Dan, Dan, I'm, you know, they've convinced me.

Luca Donches doesn't give a shit about basketball.

He got into an argument with JJ Reddick

about not wanting to play basketball.

What took you so long to put me from the game, JJ?

I hate doing this.

This is such a dumb thing that we do here in this sport.

That's a great example.

A white guy that looks like he doesn't care.

Thank you.

The Lakers.

Yeah, you're right.

The Lakers seem to, the Laker fan seems to have been souring on Luca.

Do I have this wrong?

No, I just think that like everything Lakers,

they're late to everything because they are so consumed

by their team and they think they're the center of the earth.

So for the example of Luca Donches complaints to the reps, no shit.

We know this as a rookie when he came in.

If you've been watching him play,

he's a guy that is a constant consummate,

yeah, per to the reps.

The Laker fans are discovering this now.

It's like, yeah, he's great.

He also comes with some flaws,

but the idea is that all these guys have some flaws here or there.

I don't mean to stereotype,

but if I were casting a movie right now for somebody

who was coming off as racist,

but hadn't said a word yet,

they're just racist from the look at them.

Zazzlo would be somebody that I would have auditioning for the role

just based on how he looks just his face saying nothing.

What is this segment, Andy?

Like you got someone accusing him of being a racist

and then you were just driving by saying,

and he looks like one too.

Well, just I'm just looking because it made me laugh

seeing him come up on the screen all sour from the accusation.

Just looking in his face again,

if he were just simply a mime,

I would say that mime is racist.

Not saying anything,

not giving me any context for it.

Yes, I mean,

then I'll back you up here.

He's sitting there with his arms crossed,

pounding at what looks like a hockey game

with his hat turned backward like an undercover cop.

Thank you. I mean, he looks,

he looks exactly what Dan is just right.

It took me three hours to get there,

but I do feel victorious.

This is as happy as I've been in decades.

Oh, folks, look at me.

I'm in my 30s,

which is old enough to know better

and somehow still young enough to

ignore that information pretty regularly.

Like you know me,

I'll have a couple drinks,

normal adult behavior, nothing crazy.

And in the next morning,

my body reacts like I have made a series of terrible decisions

with no supervision.

My sleep score tanks,

I wake up confused suddenly,

even replying to one text feels like a full task.

But that is why I have discovered

and gotten into Cheers Restore.

Alcohol is differently now.

It affects your brain,

your sleep, your liver,

all of it,

and Cheers Restore is made for that.

It's a dual action after alcohol A,

designed to support

your brain and your liver after drinking.

And the origin story is wild.

It started with a Princeton student

researching DHM,

which is this compound

tied to alcohol-related effects in the body.

It's in Walgreens, CVS, 7-11,

basically everywhere.

It was on Shark Tank.

All I do is take three capsules

after my last drink or before bed

and the next morning is way less dramatic.

Same night out,

way better morning with Cheers.

That might be his death.

That's cruel.

I'm not kidding.

That's crazy, Killa.

It's too America's death.

You don't get it.

This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Let's do a means we can actually do this.

It is time for it to share his game notes.

No one in the media will tell you what happened

better than my boy.

I mean,

I need some help.

So someone needs to read the chat.

Roy.

All right, I got you.

Hurry.

Reconosivations is brought to you by Miller Light.

Legendary Mormons start with a light.

Damn!

You guys fredded in fuss so much.

You wondered, that was it?

You couldn't believe they paid so much

for so, quote, little in return.

The last night, he proved once again

why he is the greatest among us.

And just like that, make no mistake.

Michael Jordan on NBC is back.

He excites.

Yeah, you guys thought they just had it

for the first couple of weeks season

and then he would never come back again.

He's a busy man.

He's busy winning, winning NASCAR events

and stuff like that.

Winning lawsuits.

Come on, man.

Give the guy a break.

He's awesome.

You watch it then?

I saw the clips making the rounds here

on first take in elsewhere.

Anytime Michael Jordan says something,

even if it was months ago,

it turns into news.

It's so silly.

It wasn't silly.

It was incredibly insightful.

He talked about he wanted to play

his Oscar in J. West.

Nobody want to play his LeBron and Kobe in his prime.

Is it still the interview from before

with Tureko?

Is it like the months old interview

that Tureko did with him before the season?

They did one interview with him

and they're milking it all season.

Is that what they're doing?

Does it matter?

You got the insights into?

Jason Tatum.

Ruining the Celtics.

Just like you guys predicted.

Jesus Christ.

Did you guys watch any of that this weekend?

That was a really crazy take you, Adam Mike.

What do you mean you guys?

What do you mean you guys?

You people?

And I meant it that way too.

Victor Wembeñama.

Now I know what it's like to watch basketball

after taking a shit ton of psychedelics.

Unreal.

Can you imagine being high and watching

Victor Wembeñama last night?

Yes.

He's going behind the back.

Matter of fact, I can.

Two are released.

Tua.

We hardly knew you.

Nobody gives that credit.

He's racist.

Mike Garofalo is reporting the Falcons

or making a strong early push to sign Tua.

Is Penex done?

What what is that about?

Why are they looking for a quarter?

I mean his body can't hold up

and he came into the league

with a bunch of injury questions.

It's got a perfect though, right?

Someone from Kirk Cousins to Tua.

Two left-handed injury-prone quarterbacks

on the same team so they can just split reps.

What was it?

And this is amazing.

Like, oh man, our quarterback is good,

but he's hurt all the time.

And he has a lot of injury concerns

he came into the league with.

We need a replacement.

Tua is available.

That's how it went.

Who are my Florida Panthers?

Black History Month, Jacket, and Boston, to troll.

But people kept coming up to me to talk hockey.

My trolling backfired.

All I could do was repeat Zaz's thing

when we were in the Western Conference.

We'd be firmly in the playoff picture.

I did that, took that one to the bank.

Thanks, Zaz.

Speaking of trolls.

Doblotori.

He meant himself as an elite troll

by sticking the smoking gun evidence

to the bottom of the chair

that Adam Silver would then later sit on.

Do you guys see this?

Yeah.

Yeah, this was insane.

Pablo Torrey doing his damnedest

to make sure I never get credentialed

anywhere in the NBA for the rest of my days.

This is good AI right here.

This is excellent AI.

Pablo, as the riddler, is a good use of AI.

David Simpson decided to roast a decorated navy vet

such bad judgment.

And you guys say I have poor judgment.

He wouldn't stop then.

He just kept going and going.

And we're like, okay, David, that's enough now.

It was so bad, but I yelled three times

at my television shut up, David.

And it wasn't even because of that.

It was only because he wouldn't let Pablo

get the kite off the ground

on difficult subject matter

in front of a live audience

in a pressurized situation.

That's kite with a tea.

Ladies and gentlemen, kite.

I have watched eight of the ten best picture nominees.

I don't know who's going to win,

but I can tell you right now,

train dreams can get the all the way the fuck up out of my face.

What a bullshit movie.

You seen that one train dreams then?

I saw that it was getting a lot of great critical reviews

and I haven't brought myself to watch it

because it seemed sort of heavy.

It's not heavy.

It's boring and pointless.

That's what it is.

It's hamnet without any artistic touches to it.

And hamnet, Pablo, don't get me started on that one.

The nicks are for real.

As long as they don't have to play in a fun city.

LA got them, I guess, last night,

or yesterday afternoon, whatever it was.

They dragged the nuggets.

What the hell's going on with you?

Bitch.

Not a fun city.

That's what it is.

Denver, not a fun city.

We play great.

LA, fun city.

Play awful.

Worried about my amulet?

Possibly matchup.

Luke Cornett.

Stay out of grown folks business.

You never encounter more open bar events

than when you're not drinking.

I know Roy backs me up on that one.

Yep.

God gives the toughest battles to the strongest soldiers.

Pistons.

Overrated.

I said it.

Let me be the first of the wave of it's going to, it's coming.

Like Tony, I'm not wrong.

I'm just early, but it's coming.

The whole, the pistons aren't that good.

That's coming.

It's on its way.

New season of bar rescue.

John Taffer has been doing a mediator

during which he said St. Louis is the number two bar city in the country.

He drafted Japanese food as the most popular cuisine

and claimed that when theming a karaoke night,

you got to make sure you attract a young drinking crowd,

not a bunch of 45 year olds drinking water.

So he suggested you do a Metallica theme drinking night.

Metallica to get the young crowd, not the 45 year olds.

Here is the science of bar rescue podcast hosted by

real-life bar and restaurant consultant Chelsea Reynolds.

Commercial kitchen and food truck vet Colin Casser.

And two people who I promise have never done Metallica theme karaoke night,

Zach Harper myself, wherever you get podcasts.

Trent McDuffy.

Tweeting God is good after signing a $124 million extension.

$100 million guaranteed.

Brother, you got to give God a little bit more credit than that.

Better than good.

God is good.

Better than good.

God is good.

$100 million guaranteed.

You can trip fall, hurt your knee, never play again tomorrow.

You got a hundred million in the bank.

And you get, God is good.

God is good.

Dinner for episode 302.

Dickey Roberts child star.

David Spade plays an aging child star who's trying to get one last shot in show business.

I play a guy who's irritated out of his mind to have to watch this.

So he proceeds to ship on the movie for an entire podcast episode.

There are way too many cameos in this movie.

You guys wonder what leaf Garrett was up to recently.

Yeah, it's in that movie.

Oh, Danny Bonoducci in that movie.

Emmanuel Lewis in that movie.

Cinephope wherever you get podcasts.

World baseball classic.

Mexico beat Brazil so bad I had PTSD from the 2014 World Cup.

You see that damn?

They beat him like 15 to one something.

Didn't you cry?

Didn't you cry during that World Cup?

The only sporting event I've ever cried at as an adult.

My personal hell revisited.

Speaking of hell, our trials, those are the weekend observations.

You are one of our movie experts around here.

Were you aware that around Hollywood,

there was a sequel bouncing around to the movie seven.

One of the greatest dark movies ever made.

Did you know that that movie was called eight?

The script for that movie was called the number eight, not the verb to eat.

I ate not the past tense.

Did your sequel did you know?

Did you know that that was bouncing around Hollywood?

And did you also know that solace,

a movie by Colin Farrell and Anthony Hopkins,

was essentially what that became.

And it said to be a terrible movie.

I haven't seen it.

Have not seen solace.

Thank you.

I have not seen solace.

I did know that there was a script bouncing around it for a long time.

They try to get it made and it just couldn't get made.

That happens a lot in Hollywood, Dan, where there is an appetite for a sequel

and they've got a script and the script for whatever reason just doesn't land

or doesn't get picked up or doesn't get greenlit and so it lives in purgatory.

Apatite for eight?

Yes.

Let's put up on the screen here.

Get a ruling here from a mean who can sniff fraudulent to mile away.

What's happening here with Ben Shapiro's eyebrows?

I want a ruling from you on what just take me through what you imagine to be

the backstory here on what's happened.

Oh.

When two caterpillars really, really love each other.

Those are two big caterpillars.

That's that look.

If that came, if that came at me on the ground as a caterpillar,

I would say that's that is a million legs.

Not a few hundred, not a few thousand.

That is a giant caterpillar.

That picture is crazy.

Eugene Levy thinks that's too much.

That can't be real.

He was called Groucho Marxist in one of my group chat.

That can't be real.

That's just not real.

There's no way that's not that has to be.

There's no way.

There's no way he went out in public like that.

It's real.

I've looked it up.

It's real.

The pictures are real.

The eyebrows, maybe not so much.

Correct.

I mean, the still image that we have right now,

there's so much die on his face.

It's crazy.

I mean, thank you for being on with us.

A reminder to all to please check out Cinephob.

He does an excellent job with Zach Harper

on that and Anthony Mays and it's just movies

under a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 40, correct?

That's unfortunately trained dreams.

We'll have to wait before like the critic

and audience scores come down some.

Are you awful Dan?

All right.

Yeah, I don't want to watch it.

Are you with Zazlow on the idea that the spurs

are going to win it all?

No, no, not at all.

I think they're just you have two little playoff

experience across two wide of a roster.

Your playoff experience is just basically

Harrison Barnes and Luke Cornett

and either of whom are guys that have the ball

in their hands and create and run anything.

Everyone else pretty much I guess

Dianne Foxx at seven games.

Big wolf.

So like it just is no precedent of a team

over the the breadth of their roster

being so inexperienced.

Well, last year winning a championship.

OK, see, no?

No, they they had been in the playoffs

the year before, been to the second round.

That's that's one.

And then two, you had guys like Caruso

who had won a championship who is a guy who

has a ball in his hands.

Shake goes to Alexander had been in the playoffs

with the Clippers and with Oklahoma City a few years ago.

He obviously has a ball in his hands a lot.

So there there is a progression to this.

There has never been one where it's like we have 80%

of our roster have never played a playoff game.

Yeah, they'll figure it out.

That just doesn't happen.

A mean good talking to you.

We'll talk to you again.

See you later.

Jeremy, can you give me an update on how Harrison Barnes

was injured?

He woke up from a nap and had a hurt ankle.

Mike, you know, I have one rule to live by, right?

Don't place parlays on multiple long shots.

Don't say a game is one when it hasn't hit triple zero.

Mm-hmm.

Always drink your gig or myster ice cold.

That's the rule.

Everything else is merely a suggestion.

Everything else.

Everything else.

Wearing clean underwear every day.

Well, that's just a personal decision.

Brushing your teeth.

Ugh.

Obviously smart, but not a rule.

Never pee pee on an electric fence.

Okay, maybe there are two rules.

But the one that is 100% that I insist on completely,

Yeager Myster must be drank ice cold.

Or don't drink it at all.

Damn, that's cold.

Exactly.

You're finally starting to get it.

Drink responsibly.
