Welcome to The Big Sui.
Presented by DraftKings.
Why are you listening to this show?
The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast.
I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.
In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.
I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables
to grab somebody's fries that 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.
This episode of The Dan Levitard Show is presented by DraftKings.
DraftKings.
The crown is yours.
I think you're cute.
Not so cute today.
Try to catch it.
Not so cute this morning.
Should have waited a little longer.
Just wait it out.
Just see how long it takes him.
So the NFL combine's going on right now.
It's like who cares, you know?
Did you see Rubin Bain sucks?
Well, I told small arms.
Yeah, just he's a bad football player now.
Hold on, hold on.
The photoshopping of his arms.
I saw that one.
I was like, what?
It was so good.
Okay, good, because I saw a picture and I'm like,
there's no way that's real.
So that there is a Photoshop one out there, right?
I shouldn't have said anything.
I give it away.
He's got like alligator arms.
That's not real, right?
No, it's fake because you can't draft that.
No, it's I love people just finding out right now
that Rubin Bain doesn't have the prototypical size
and a small arm.
So this has been the book on here.
It's why he wasn't a five star.
He is incredible against the run.
He is a ferocious past Russia.
And there's still some mock drafts with dudes
that play a similar position
that have shorter arms than him.
No, it's not the time for arms.
So I don't know if you saw though yesterday at the comp,
you know, teams that are really bad.
Their coaches should like pay real attention
at the combine, you know?
Those are teams that really need know what's going on.
Wouldn't you agree Dave?
If you, if you're a coach, sound counsel.
If you're a good, you should pay attention.
If you're a coach and your team sucks,
you got to pay attention to the comment.
Well, what it, what it shows is that the,
that the combine is outmoded in a lot of ways.
I mean, it is pretty obvious to be on the tail at this point.
The Jags and Rams don't attend.
A lot of people have pulled back,
a lot of teams have pulled back the number of people
that they put out there.
There are other methods to evaluate these guys
that are better.
And what you'll learn is obviously it's a face to face,
press the flesh, opportunity with your peers
and the larger community of football people
along with meeting these prospects.
But what matters ultimately is the tape
and football teams understand that.
The tape is what Matt would you agree though?
More than how fast they run the three-cone drill.
Okay, but would you agree that if you're a coach of a bad team?
In this case, let's say the team is the Jets
and let's say the coach is Aaron Glenn.
All right.
Man, yeah, I'm not going to do this to my guy, man.
I didn't do anything to him.
All right.
No one did.
Viral decontextualization.
How dare you show what he did?
Viral decontextualization.
How dare I show what he did on national television?
Coach Glenn, hit me up.
I will take you.
Maybe it was just a long blink.
Wouldn't you assume if you're a coach of a bad team
attending the NFL Combine,
probably not the place or the time to fall asleep?
That's right, it's usually a cabinet meeting.
So you'll hear Rich Eisen,
he's on the broadcast, you know,
for NFL Network.
And he's talking about players here
who are doing very, very fun stuff at the Combine.
But Aaron Glenn, they show him camera,
he would rather get in a schluff.
So Daniel Jeremiah's top 50 prospects
as Aaron Glenn looks on for the Jets.
Not looking.
Fernando Mendoza won.
My love will also see on Saturday here on NFL Network,
the running back from Notre Dame 2.
I mean, Dave, very quickly, someone was at coach on screen.
And he popped up, opened his eyes, started looking around
and make sure that I'm awake.
I'm very funny in that cutaway and everything else.
But Mike Ryan just said it all.
I mean, if I'm a Jets fan, if I'm a New Yorker,
am I supposed to get real, real worked up about this?
There are other people who fall asleep
and things that you might make a case are more important.
The Combine is a great napping sport.
It seems like it's a good one.
It's like watching golf.
Also, like if I'm a Jets fan,
I'm already resigned to the fact that Aaron Glenn's probably
around for one more season anyways.
So I can't really work myself up all that.
You ever been to a Combine?
And if you guys, you have, right?
Sure.
Did you watch every single minute?
I don't, I'm, what, what, what, what,
come in at me about how raw I am about Aaron Glenn taking a nap.
I, people go to the Combine and get up much.
People go to the Combine to network.
It's like summer league.
I just said, all right.
What, what, what, what?
I'm not attacking you.
We're on your side.
We're on your side.
Hey, let us park our core in your garage.
What up?
What up?
What up?
That's the sound of the garage going up.
It's open now.
Come on in.
We're trying to defend you.
Okay, but I mean, that's not the question.
Do you only watch the Combine if you're there?
The question is, do you only watch Combine?
And if you're not only watch the Combine,
do you decide to fall asleep?
You don't decide to fall asleep.
You didn't decide to fall asleep.
You don't know how hard he's been working.
He's burdening the candle on both ends here.
Come on now.
No, oh my God, I snooze while some dude ran.
Oh my God.
No, that's not the be all end all of this whole exercise.
Number one, number two, so they caught him.
You know how many other guys were sleeping in that stadium?
Probably the whole stadium.
But it just happened to be on him when he caught his net.
Viral decontextualization, I will always be a champion
defending the weak and the under-trodden
about these viral decontextualized videos.
Stop it.
Stop it America.
I'm more interested in just where the worst places
to wake up are because I would argue on live TV
is pretty high up there in terms of the worst places
to wake up.
I'll tell you what, we'll kill them.
If you just woke up and just let it up,
the fervent, like the fiverrish checking of
how long it's out.
No, no, right here.
Let's run it.
Let's stumble.
All right, here we go.
Here we go.
Coach, coach, coach, coach.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
I'm very late.
Run the whole thing because he looks, he looks around.
He looks around.
It's a camera here.
It's a camera there.
I'm very late.
I couldn't be more awake.
See that?
That looked in the right.
The worst place to wake up is on public transportation.
Not that you missed your stuff.
That's not, that's a bad one yet.
I would argue waking up on the highway,
like you're driving to work in the morning.
You're like, oh, I like Beatrix Kitto did,
wouldn't be any good and kill Bill too.
By the way, football America movie episode coming at ya
in just an hour or two from now,
guests, a mean in Zaz, and we do a Tarantino character
to get them on other important issues.
Don't plug it so you can make sure the guests are there.
You were there.
We already did it.
Remember?
That's funded to make sure.
I will tell the audience.
Did you air and Glenn that show?
Maybe.
Me and Zaz were doing a lot of the talking.
I will tell the audience we recorded that show.
We had a lot of fun with Quentin Tarantino.
It was my favorite.
We had a lot of fun with Quentin Tarantino movies.
I, I mean, Rachel Nichols out of me.
We had a lot of fun with that episode yesterday
and I highly recommend watching today's episode
of Football America.
I would love to do that again.
Just talk about Quentin Tarantino movies.
You kidding me?
I'd like to point out once again.
My man, like, blinked for a second
and everyone took that to be he fell asleep.
But I'm gonna tell you where they're worse.
By his reaction, you could tell he was asleep by his way.
I'm not asleep.
I'm alert.
Someone yelled at him.
Why are you so invested in defending this behavior?
Two reasons.
One, because I had a champion
for viral decontextualization dismantling.
That's number one.
But number two is because when I was in college,
the semester, I was like, I gotta get my shit together.
I have, I'm gonna, you know what?
None of these late classes go in early morning classes.
I had soccer.
Polly sigh, 7.30 a.m. I said, I'm gonna be there
and I'm gonna be attentive
and I'm gonna get good grades or whatever.
And so the first couple of classes I would go
and I would kinda doze off sometimes
and then there was a class where I dozed off
in the middle class and it's one of those,
it's probably side one on one.
So it's like 300 students, massive auditorium.
I woke up the entire auditorium was empty.
Say for three or four students at the front
who are waiting to talk to the professor.
Man.
And so, and I'm sitting in the middle,
the middle so basically all around me, 360,
where students getting up and collecting their things,
300 of them leaving did not stir.
All I felt was a pool of drool on my shoulder
and I never went back to that class again.
See, that's the way that's what I was just gonna say.
I never ran into problems like that
because I didn't go to the classes in the first place.
Okay, is it worse?
Okay, so worse places to wake up after dozing off,
those after dozing off, excuse me.
Is that worse?
And we just saw Aaron Glenn do it to the combine.
To me, the classic.
All right, Mike Francesca, sports pub, WFA in New York,
on yes network.
This has gotta be like a dozen years ago, I would say,
a dozen maybe, yeah, about a dozen years ago.
And here is for the audio audience,
Mike Francesca, it's on TV, it's on yes network.
He has Sweeney Murdy, who is a Yankees reporter
on the phone with him.
And Mike is listening and very clearly falls asleep
live on television.
You know, the Yankees took care of them pretty good
if I remember in the end of that season.
There was a three game set, I think,
at Benway, another one of the Yankees stadium,
which they just kind of walked right through.
But otherwise, the late season series,
look, look, look, see, the shorters getting pretty great.
It's a very long page, just not the case,
but the first time a long time.
Look, look, the page is very wide in my hands.
Oh, I have noticed since, is part of this,
the Yankees have been, you know, a little,
it's something interesting.
Pictures lately.
Where am I?
Two of them in the series, so no matter what.
They said something, the guys in the background
produced it, like, where am I?
The pictures hold the Yankees down.
You know, you could be looking at a game.
Why are they my loose?
That's a real one, a quarter one.
All right, we'll talk with Sweeney, obviously.
That is my all time.
Obviously.
That is obviously my all time favorite.
I don't like the word blue, but I do have at least one pal
that I can think of who has, actually,
he says he fell asleep in coitus,
but then I've heard of the other way happening.
Yeah, I don't think you ever come back.
She fell asleep?
No, yeah.
So they both fell asleep?
I happen to be, you may look at me
and be surprised to hear this.
I happen to be a vigorous love maker.
So that would never happen to me.
With that in the club.
But if that did happen to you, I don't know that you ever did.
If we decide earlier in the week that no one calls it making love,
why I you're right, you're right.
I'm trying to bring it back or try to make it a thing that we said.
No one asks someone else to make love.
Oh, yeah, right.
But you can be as damaged as a vigorous love maker.
That's the time.
Thank you.
Everyone knows that's one of the two things everybody knows about you.
Vigor's love maker.
Do you know that I'm a world champion connect for player?
Yeah, that's the I see.
Where do you start?
Well, I'm, where do you grow first one in the middle?
You go wide?
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, you got to go down the middle.
Yeah, that's why I like to go wide.
Well, that's a mistake and you would lose very quickly.
That's you know, I would you put the X in the middle
and tick-tock to also, yeah.
No, that's not the correct strategy.
But either way, just so you know,
do as should you and I ever find the occasion to play connect for.
I only now play recreationally.
I retired some years ago.
There was nothing left for me to achieve in the sport
that gave me a lot and I felt that it was disrespectful
for me to press on.
It's something less than my best.
I gave, I gave everything I had and more to the sport
and it did a lot for me and that I retire.
I'll play it.
I'll do it.
One of the two for you.
No, he's spoken like a true goal
because I know every time Michael Jordan plays basketball,
he just says, oh, yeah, I don't really do this anymore.
This is, this is just for fun.
I don't care if you beat me.
That's not how goat speak.
Goat say, I don't care if I'm in a wheelchair.
You know, Michael Jordan will still kill you though, right?
Exactly.
That's right.
Oh, is that what you're saying?
Is that what you're saying?
Are you picking up what I'm laying down?
Big modesty over here?
No.
It's not my.
I just told you, you're not going to get 100% Dave,
the world champion three times over connect for player.
You're not going to get that version of Dave.
100% Dave.
I got plenty.
I got plenty to defeat you with though and Chris Cody.
I mean, obviously he's self-defeating.
Doesn't take the middle and connect for people.
People always talk about New Year's resolutions, you know,
you better work out more, et cetera, et cetera.
We might still be early in 2026, but I'm sure most of you have already broken your resolutions.
Me, I'm still going.
My resolutions are simple, be comfortable, especially at the ring.
If you know me, you know that hockey isn't just something I watch, it's something I live.
Late nights, cold arenas, long playoff runs, you're on your feet a lot, and if your socks
aren't right, you feel it badly.
That's why I've been rocking Bomba's sports socks.
The cushioned exactly where you needed, sweat-wicking supportive, basically built for movement.
Whether I'm at the game, skating a little myself or pacing around during overtime, like
I somehow affect the outcome, they keep me locked in uncomfortable.
And when I finally get home to break down everything that happened on the ice, Bomba's
has the everyday stuff too, slippers, teas, underwear, or ridiculously soft.
It's the kind of comfort you don't think about, because you don't have to.

Hey, it's Mike Ryan, and I want to talk to you about the random midweek hang that you
have with your friends.
Maybe it's an NBA game, you get a text, hey, come over, you want to watch the game and
maybe you're like, ah, I don't know, I kind of just wanted to stay home, and then you
think about it.
And you know just the thing that'll make that regular hang, that regular midweek hang
around the basketball game, into a special time, into a Miller time.
That's right, this happened to me just last week.
I grabbed a six pack of Miller light, said I was on my way, and next thing you know
we're arguing about rotations, like we're on the coaching staff, yelling about a miss call,
and the games coming down in the final possession is one of those nights that you look around,
you take a sip, and you think, yeah, this was the right call, and my friendship's stronger
for it.

Don Lebertard!
We have a photo right here, if you can see in this photo with my daughter there, I am
pointing exactly to the point on the Stanley Cup, where it says, you suck ass.
Stugats!
Wow.
Right there.
Really?
That's like, yeah.
Got an engraved.
Right there, it says Chris Wittingham, SUCKSASS.
This is the Don Lebertard show with his Stugats.
Let's play another game, though.
I'm a man of peace, and that said, I feel like we should bring two of the fellas behind
the glass closer together by creating a division between them.
Oh.
It's fun.
I wanted to do Mr. Lister, trade back and forth.
You say one, then the other says one, and you trade back and forth until one of you runs
out.
I tried to do that with Tony and Chris Cody yesterday, unfortunately, before it could
get untracked, Chris Cody shouted lions repeated that and ruined it.
So you're now out forever, instead Tony's new ongoing foe.
Yes, Mike Ryan.
You're going to pit people against one another?
That's right.
That's right.
Oh, yeah.
It's been a good week.
Here we go.
TNT first event, a never ending decathlon.
Or is it TVT, it's Tony, VTASHA in one corner, it's a tall Cuban fella wearing a throwback
raiders jersey that says nothing about where they play because it doesn't make a difference.
They're the raiders forever.
In the other corner, it's a smaller, somatic fella wearing a shirt that looks like it came
off of an ottoman, it's Jeremy TASHA.
Whoa.
All right.
You can say it.
And I will say it in the middle.
You have to represent the political spectrum.
That's right.
You're not closer to me than you are to him.
You'd be surprised.
Can we, can we get like some, we got to get on that Cuban thing.
Can we get you?
Can we get you?
Just see that music?
Hey, I'm Cuban too.
That pits these guys against each other.
I'd like that.
Can we get some music?
Can we find pitting music?
Yeah.
Music that portrays us by the way.
Like a battle.
You don't even know what the category is.
Doesn't matter.
How do you know you're going to kick us out?
Doesn't matter.
I just hope people have fun.
I think this, I was meditating on what category.
And I think this suits you both.
And since I like to talk about football on football America, that makes a sense to start
there.
Nobody knows about football.
Here we go.
Historic.
A lot of names on this one.
Super Bowl losing starting quarterbacks.
Tony, since you vanquished Cody with a plum yesterday, you go first.
Super Bowl losing starting quarterbacks.
That's what I said.
I'm going to start.
I'm going to start repeating the question.
Drake May is the second.
Everyone knows that trick.
You say it again.
It gives you more time to think.
That's right.
I said the most recent one.
Tom Brady.
Tom Brady has lost more than one Super Bowl.
In fact, a backup QB in one instance.
Tony, you're up.
Let's go with Jimmy Garoppolo.
Jimmy G lost a Super Bowl.
I really couldn't want it.
Patrick Mahomes has lost one.
Let's go to Joe Burrow.
I like the let's go.
Jared Goff.
OK.
Let's go to Peyton Manning.
Kurt Warner.
Let's go to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Let's go to Damirino.
Anymore.
Kurt Warner.
He said it.
He said it.
He said it.
What did we say?
What did we say?
I know Kurt Warner lost something in my head.
I have it.
I have it.
You cannot go.
He's done.
Can I go double up?
I can't.
No, no, no, no.
Can I go double up?
I have it.
Matt Ryan.
Tony won.
You want to keep going, Tony?
Just a little bit.
Just a little bit.
See how far you can get?
You just set it.
And then it's all over.
You can get it around my head.
You can go.
Can we go?
Kurt Warner.
In order, Len Dawson, Darryl Lamonica.
In order.
Wow.
Earl Moore.
So you wanted to make this your show?
OK.
I thought it would be fun to show.
Kurt Warner.
I called Darby.
No, I'll stop, though.
If it's beneath you.
If it's beneath you to show off my wares, then I'll lay out.
Can you take them?
Nobody noticed.
Would you?
I did.
Excellent.
That's what you're doing.
Not that good.
Tashay.
I told you I was going to kick his ass.
I told you I was going to kick his ass.
It's like, you know, it's like what you're trying to say something else.
And then somebody says something in the air and trying to tighten.
You got to pay attention.
So much of the stuff you're telling.
You're really trying to pay attention.
You got to pay attention.
Someone should have said, Ram's quarter.
We're going to have a homeroom issue.
Ben Rothlessberger.
Ben Rothlessberger.
Yeah, he lost it in.
I...
He lost Aaron Ross.
He lost Aaron Ross.
Oh, he did.
Oh, he did it.
Oh, he did it.
Oh, he did it.
Oh, he did it.
Oh, he did it.
Oh, he did it.
I know it all.
Superbowl history.
Mike, what's that?
James Jones.
You know about that, James Jones.
That's Mike, Jim, too.
James Starks.
That was a bad team.
Yeah, not great.
Yeah, you know, Richard Kent and all Fumble.
That the first player of the fourth quarter,
Rathasberger, has three lombardies in the span of six seasons.
And then whether you like it or not,
is in the conversation for the best Superbowl error.
We're shortbacked.
He doesn't get it.
But if he has three rings in his first six seasons, oh,
the training roll in that I'll keep going Russell Wilson.
Richard Mendenhall.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
You can get that hassle back.
I'd like you to go.
You know when you're typing the best quarter,
how about someone says something out loud and you just type that?
That's what happened to me with Kurt Warner.
It just happened in my brain.
And I said it out loud.
I was thinking about rest grossing.
This is where the laws kill.
Except the results.
Yeah, I will never.
Tarkin tin.
Val killer.
You didn't let me keep going.
Because you lost.
All right, everybody settle down.
And we'll play again in November.
Everybody settle down.
So you know, sometimes pro sports teams, they'll do promotions,
you know, and an upcoming game.
They'll partner with maybe a local establishment or something,
you know, and they'll have a certain type,
a certain promotional night.
Well, the Atlanta Hawks.
You know about them Hawks?
I mean, I know all about them Hawks.
The Atlanta Hawks coming up.
Did you really?
I worked for the Hawks as my first job in the NBA.
Okay.
All right.
The Atlanta Hawks coming up on March 16th against the Orlando Magic.
They have a promotional night where they are partnering.
Well, they're a fine local establishment.
All right.
This local establishment is called Magic City.
Yes.
Now, I don't know, Dave Damace check.
Are you aware?
Yes.
Of Magic City.
Yeah, he answered it immediately.
Are they have good wings?
Magic City, you may remember.
Very famous.
It's a very famous.
I'd say the most famous in these United States.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Yeah.
Scarlet's would like a word.
No, it's more famous in Scots by a mile.
All right.
It's a good pull.
Would you say it's the most famous Magic City?
Montreal and Toronto may be more famous in North America.
More edible strip clothing right now.
We're not talking about the city.
We're talking about the one establishment.
This is the most famous.
As a what?
Right, probably.
Chris is very eager to play this.
Spare me right now in Vegas.
That's a good one.
That's a good thank you.
Now was Magic City very famously the strip club in Atlanta.
Where all the players got in trouble.
And it was like Patrick Ewing back in the old club.
That was gold club in there too.
Okay, so it was not Magic City.
Nonetheless.
Tampa, you know, you know about Tampa's clubs.
Come on now.
You know about Mons.
Mons, I'm aware.
You know about right across street.
Space Odyssey.
Come on.
You have a spaceship.
Does 11 count?
Does 11 count?
11's on the conversation.
I'm not going to let it count.
Now 11's a club that has.
Yeah, I agree.
I agree with you.
It's not a strip club.
Magic City very famously is a strip club in Atlanta,
which also is very well known as you may remember from back in the bubble in 2020
in the NBA playoffs where Lou Williams.
He had an excuse absence.
I think he went to like a family event.
I think it was a funeral.
Maybe a funeral.
And he got in trouble because during this excuse time off,
he went to Magic City for what he claims was just to order the lemon pepper wings.
So, okay, so I'd like to defend him right here because he's not what he claims.
Their wings are world renowned.
I, when I was in college, we used to go literally just for the food.
Like, I'm hungry.
What do you want?
Let's get the wings to magic.
And yeah, you just look at what's happening.
But once you get your order, you get your order and you leave.
Yeah, the wings are tiny.
So, or so I've heard lemon pepper wings is an overrated flavor.
Oh my god.
This call me again.
What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what are you doing?
Oh no, then he makes lemon pepper with barbecue.
Did he?
Lemon pepper.
No, they created a flavor.
Just solely lemon pepper.
Lemon pepper is the best flavor of wings in the planet.
That's silly.
Okay, so if I can get back to before we circle back to Magic City and how amazing it is clearly.
Yeah.
The Atlanta Hawks have partnered for a promotional night with Magic City on March 16th
against your land to Magic.
It's Magic City Monday.
That's a half time show.
Where they are also giving away the video audience can see the promotional graphic here,
where they're giving away a hooded sweatshirt with Magic City spread across the front
and the Atlanta Hawks logo on the side.
And they got the wings in the background guys.
And you got the wings right there.
So they're giving out wings.
Oh, that's a lemon flavor.
No, let me read the promotional material here.
You can get, yeah, there you go.
Okay, the promotional material that comes with Hawks fans are in for a feast.
The Magic City kitchen will be serving its world famous lemon
pepper wings.
Naturally, the menu will include Louis, lemon pepper barbecue, a nod to NBA player,
Louis Williams, who famously stopped by the joint to pick up some chicken or so he says,
while on a proof leave from the NBA bubble.
This is all so he says it's part of the, yeah, yeah, okay.
So I like that.
This is my camera right here, right?
Okay, Atlanta, the Hawks organization, I work for you guys.
I got my start in the NBA working for your organization.
Had a wonderful time.
God, my foot in the door and it was in a memorable time.
When I say I need that hoodie right here.
And I will wear it on the Dan Levin talk show right here.
Millions of listeners will see me wearing that hoodie,
promo department, marketing department, marketing partnerships,
whatever you need.
If you need me to come that Atlanta and support and do anything,
I will do whatever it takes.
Just give me the hoodie, please.
I'd like one too.
I mean, didn't you almost get killed by Rick Mahorn?
Yes.
What?
Yeah.
So in Atlanta, right?
At a game.
It was at a game.
Like when he was on the Pissons broadcast?
No, no, no.
He was an assistant coach at the Hawks.
Oh, yeah.
So the Rick Mahorn is the first NBA person I ever knew in my life.
Like because I was walking in.
It was like my first day.
I'm carrying boxes and Rick Mahorn comes in.
It's a game day.
And he knocks the boxes everywhere.
Why do you do that?
And I'm like, what the hell?
And he held you?
Bobby like 19 or 20 something like that.
He starts laughing.
And I'm like, what a jerk.
And then he would just mess with me.
But after a while, I'm like, oh, wait, that's, he's,
that's he's doing a thing.
And so we became pretty good buddies.
And so the end of the season, I think they fan appreciation day,
they have the guy son autographs.
But because Rick Mahorn, the Hawks were awful.
Rick Mahorn is legitimately one of the biggest names
in the organization.
That's so bad.
So as an assistant coach, he's signing autographs, right?
And they got the tables.
And the fans are lined up down the concourse down the stairs.
So my job is kind of like crowd control.
Just stand behind to make sure people get one autograph
and keep them moving.
And we just played the cast Paul Silas is a head coach.
Paul Silas is a big dude, right?
So Paul Silas walks up behind Mahorn and he goes,
shh, to me and I'm like, shh, I'm sure, whatever.
I'm like, is he going to scare him, whatever?
And he smacks the ever-loving bejesus
out of the back of Rick Mahorn's head.
I'm talking about.
Like, that sound reverberated
around the Cavernous Phillips Center at the time.
Now, St. Farmerino.
And Mahorn turned around and I've never seen him
with that kind of rage in his eyes.
And I realize he thinks that I did that.
Why would he think that you did that?
That's what I wanted to know.
Why would I do that?
And then he looks and he sees Paul Silas
and instantly all the rage drains out
and he starts laughing.
And they hug and everything.
Why would that be funny no matter who did it?
Here's my favorite book.
Don't know, as I'm going forward, don't hit me
and they expect me to laugh about it.
Don't strike me.
I said to him, oh wait a sec,
you're about to kill me when you thought it was me.
With Paul Silas, it's a big joke.
And he says, Paul Silas is a bad dude.
And I'm like, you know what?
You love the idea that for a moment,
Rick Mahorn thought randomly the kid
who I haze decided to finally
to finally had a nowhere to smack me.
I like that.
Rick Mahorn is one of the great bullies
in sports history understood.
And it's a great message to everybody
who isn't as tough as Rick Mahorn is.
Like, know your limits.
There's a level beyond me.
I mean, I can destroy Paul Silas.
It's in doubt.
Didn't Paul Silas stuff somebody in his locker?
Pyrostomus.
Who's a big boy too?
Yeah, although I hear conflicting reports
about how that went down.
But yes, Paul Silas is a bad dude.

You getting started on the breakfast line?
Oh man, I've been singing the song to myself one morning long.
Breakfast line, dun, dun, dun, dun.
Still gotch!
Have you never heard the breakfast line song?
No, hit me with it.
Okay, I wish I had some breakfast
on, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.
Breakfast on, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.
Where can I find a breakfast like that?
This is the Dun, Lebertard Show with this two grads.
Have you ever heard of a professional sports team, we're not talking mindfully team, a professional
sports team partnering with a local strip club for a theme night, no, but Magic City is
more than a street, it's an institution, still a strip club, yes, but it's an institution
and there's a level of, there's David Magic City waiting on his wings, catch right, and
they're not lemon pepper, you want to rank wing flavors, I didn't, I don't want to
rag, I managed made a statement that I'm going to let sit there, what's the REM of wing
flavors, I like a, I like the, what they're doing a lot of great work these days with the
Caroline, a mustard barbecue, you know, they, they've now, it's, what do you mean, no,
a tangy, just a mouthful of mustard, you can have some spice, so yeah, the nice mustard,
yeah, the yellow mustard barbecue that's popular on Carolina, so very obscure flavor is your
number one.
That's obscure, it's absolutely, what defensive Dave, I did ask for the REM of wing flavors.
You think lemon pepper, lemon pepper is more, is more, uh, universe, never seen mustard
as an option for, can I get Carolina mustard, you know how basic, I disagree, I mean, if
you, right, if you go with, uh, you can get cute again, and you can go hipster if you
want the, what are the core options, hot garlic hot, there's, there's traditional, just
hot, buffalo wing, then there's usually a spicy barbecue, more and more, like a, a teriyaki
for the people that don't like it hot, now lemon pepper is not, you big with it, I'm
absolutely, I think lemon pepper is like a cool, very common, lemon pepper, lemon pepper,
garlic parm, lemon pepper is definitely the rotation prominent than even garlic
parm, which is pretty prominent, I think, I think, uh, lemon pepper is like right there
trying to overtake teriyaki, probably has, I agree, lemon pepper, lemon pepper is made
a big push of the last decade or so, I, listen, you know, it hasn't made a push, you know
it hasn't made a push, Ari, I mean, Carolina barbecue mustard, whatever, are you crazy?
No, push, you guys just keep, let's just, uh, assuming that because you float it out there
that, uh, that the rest of society's going to pick up on it and make it so, do you put
it on the pole? Well, a mean set it into a microphone, and so therefore it must, a mean
doesn't have to say it, everybody knows it. Do you put on the pole? What's bigger? Lemon
pepper or Carolina barbecue mustard, whatever the hell they would, I would like to try it,
but no one's on your side. You've never had Carolina gold, Roy knows what I'm talking
about. What would be the correct, I'm not really making much of a case when I can't
even say what it's proper name. I've had it on ribs. Yeah, I mean, it works for pork
as well, but, uh, yeah, yeah, I want to pick that personally. You're on your own. You're
the garage. Roy knows a wing. I'm off of you. You think, you think I don't know wings?
I was in, you know, there's no way before you better give us one. If it was before, it
was Buffalo wild wings. It was BW three. It was a regional wing place. All through it.
Right. It midwestern schools. I think there were six in total. Yes. A lot, a lot of fireworks
today. By the way, this microphone stands in a block. Don't throw to me. Just let it sit,
but everybody's fighting and that's great. Uh, I went to BW three's Bloomington branch.
And that doesn't eat wings because it gets his hands dirty. Attack him. And it's Monday.
I'll care. They would have a Monday night wing eating contest. And the standard was
it's like a four year old. Can you eat 50 wings in 15 minutes? And I used almost every
second in that first round. Really? But I survived. Yeah, to eat 50 and 15 wings, five zero
in 15 minutes. It took me, in fact, 14 minutes and 35 to complete the, to complete the
feet. That's impressive. Three weeks later, I was on to the second round. This time, 70
wings in 20 minutes. I bested my time on the 50 wings. I did better on the 70 because
I'm clutch and also because there was no drug testing. Flats of drums. I'll go either
one. You want to those guys? You put the whole thing on the bone out. Oh, can you do
what you do is you take it from the top, the double wing, the double break it. And you
push it down. You just push it down and do like a, yeah, little popper. Yeah. 70 wings
in 14 minutes and 30 seconds. Did the 70 faster and did the 50 because like I say, no drug
testing. Then on to the regional finals. However many wings you can eat in 30 minutes. I got
my, my original batch of 50, eight, a couple gave the rest to my friends and left a chain.
We've criticized you a lot this week. That's genuinely impressive. I knew I wasn't going
to win. You had nothing to prove. You said, guys, I mean, I know, I know what my limits
were like Rick Mohorn. I turned around and saw the competition and said, I have no
shot. That's barely understands the conversation because he has no point of reference. Because
he doesn't eat with me. I don't like, I don't like, you know what? I've got, I've gotten
the same thing in old age as I don't like that. Like Lady Macbeth can't wash the blood
off her hands. I can't wash the smell of wings off my fingers. It's a great smell. It's
gotten you that way in old age at any age. He's never liked wings. He's never given
another chance because it's too dirty. Slip my life dog. What? Why don't you fork a knife
foot? A wing? A wing? Well, what's crazy is not eating wings because it gets your hands
dirty. You can fork a knife. Whatever. There's so many other great foods. It's not that
big of down care. It's not a big deal. What are your orders? Well, I can't tell you
last time I went to Hooters. I think it was with me after a Pearl Jam show in Tampa.
We went to see the NBA finals. I don't remember that. I remember that. That was after you
made me a sandwich for the car ride, which was very sweet. All right. You know, I'm going
to defend myself. No, no, it did defend that super. You made me a Sammy for the long road
trip. Okay. Which wasn't tuna. Oh, remember. That's not true. That's not true. That's
r. Okay, here's what happen. I think I was toasted. Here's it. Here's what happened. I
would thrown out the window because it wasn't just like, oh, Zazlow made sandwiches for the
car ride. Oh, you had extra tuna. Yeah, extra two nine. No. It's not what happened. And
Mike likes to frame it like the or Mike leaves it completely ambiguous. So people frame it
what Oh, we invited Zazlow for the road. He's going to bring sandwiches for the car. No,
that's not the way it went down. I invited Mike Ryan. This is like 20 years ago. That's
long time ago. I invited Mike Ryan to come see Pearl Jam with me in Tampa, which by the
way, how about those seats? Great seats. Kingsley on the second row on the floor. All right.
This is one Kingsley on the parking lot. Yep. Kingsley on open for them. Great show.
And we're going to Tampa to go see Pearl Jam. But I told Mike Ryan, I'm like, look, you
know, tickets are on me, of course, but you'll drive. Okay. He said, fine. And so he came
to my house to pick me up. And he was like a few minutes early. And as a result of him
being a few minutes early, I was still making myself lunch. I was making myself a tuna sandwich.
Sounds like he's going to bring sandwiches that I was going to sit down at my kitchen table
eat by myself. But since he was early, I'm going to have to bring the sandwich in the car now.
Oh, but that's rude if I only have a sandwich for myself. It really was. So I made him a tuna sandwich
as well. Weird. And I got into the car with a sandwich for me and a sandwich for my friend.
And the way the story was told is that we had a great time and Zazzle made tuna sandwiches.
Sounds like you described that exactly. Exactly. How's your tuna? Has it not on a level?
I don't, I don't, it was it's fine. I remember it was toasted. I don't remember that part.
I honestly don't even remember driving that part kind of threw me.
I've got the way it was done at least.
Gooping it onto the bread. And that's it. Here's your tuna sandwich.
I can't see you actually. I think my initial reaction was like, you really don't have to do that.
But it was a very kind of. I already did. We were in the car. I know. You know,
Mike Ryan better than I do. Are you what I'm clearly picking up, Zazz? Is that you think
Mike Ryan's words are betrayed by his tone? Maybe you think what he actually somehow you're a
sucker. I don't give it up. So like people that make sandwiches for car rides are suckers.
You're very sensitive about this because I said that Zazz made me a sandwich and it was a very
nice thing to do. I know I'm picking up a mocking tone. I'm sorry to you. That's a very nice thing.
He wants to make it sound like if we bring Zazzle places, he'll make sandwiches for the entire
whole time. Well, I guess the real test is now I'm going to inform what you do in the future.
But if rolls were reversed or in an upcoming show, is Mike Ryan going to bring a sandwich for Zazz?
No, you're right, Zazz. You're right. If you're known as a sandwich maker though, that's a
positive Zazz. If I have a bunch of friends and I don't know, Mike Ryan just said it though. He's
like, that's beneath me. No, I wouldn't do that. I did not say that. That's what he has said. That's
not what peculiar means. I said, you just said you would do it. No, honestly, the only part that's
peculiar is the tuna part. That's in a car. That's evil. I get it. You didn't plan to do it in the car.
This was not planned. I mean, a nice little turkey cheese with a little male like that. We're talking
all day. I don't like when kids. It's a kids lunch. I don't like when people make sandwiches for the gang
and they put mayonnaise on all of them. Don't let's not be present. He cut it in half that.
No, no, no. I think it was a roll. My guess is a roll. I think I was making on like a
Kaiser. He's like, you want the crust? You want the pie for one. You can toast the Kaiser. Of course.
I think it's really a nice thing to do, even if Mike Ryan wants to. I know it's a nice thing to do.
He said, but what I don't like is that he's having his cake and he didn't get to Mike Ryan,
which the cliché should really be changed to. He wants to have his cake and some pie,
because that's really gluttonous. If you give me a cake, I'm going to eat it and if you attack
me for daily, I gave him a cake and he ate it. What a slob. That's what's going to go on.
There's a very eccentric room that we have over there on that side of us. I think it's outrageous.
I think it's outrageous that you stand here and look at gift horse, a literal gift horse in the
mouth and say tuna toasted. I'm a gift horse peculiar. That's your response peculiar. Not thank you,
sir. It was thank you. It was a nice gesture and I ate the sandwich and I took a picture of it
and put it in the group chat. And now for dessert, and now for dessert, you're trying to serve
him some humble pie or I don't know what you're trying to give him. You're trying to turn him into a
punchline. I BBM. I'm having a good person. I was like, hey, look at this BBM. Yeah, here's the
kicker. We had a great time. Okay, we had a great time. I took him to Pearl Jam. I made him
a sandwich on our car right there. I think we probably split the hotel. I can't imagine that I
paid for that whole thing. But we had a great time. It was. And when when we get back,
yeah, we're kids back then. You know, if you own a truck, we worked in radio. Yeah.
Yeah. 20 years ago. Okay. We had 16 years ago. Okay. Okay. Okay. What are you talking about?
It was one bet right now. PD kept stealing my invoices. Current Dave does not share a hotel room
with with with any. No, of course. We were because of all the years. You had a crash on someone
else's like rugged. We were so young and poor. Okay. I forgot when when when when what period of
you forget radio. We had a great time. And I figured, you know what, my thank you will be maybe
the next day on the very popular Dan Levitard show which stew gots. Maybe they'll have a conversation
about that nice Jewish boy Jonathan Zaslow, who took our producer Mike Ryan to a pearl jam show.
And and not just that, they had second row on the floor. I didn't know where you were going. Okay.
What a great time. What a great time. And instead, instead, I turn on the radio and the
conversation is how when you take a car ride with Zaslow, he makes tuna sandwiches for everyone.
Turned you into some kind of an ass. Well, that's because I BBMed Haka photo of the sandwich. And
he's like, this is strange. I'm like, yeah, bit peculiar. You gave him a nice pat on the back.
And what did he say? He accused you of putting a knife into his back. That's outrageous. I will
though. I will say though, like I like Pearl Jam because it's us. I was an Pearl Jam guy. He knew
that, but he knew I'd be like a good hang for a concert. He introduced me to Pearl Jam and
Kingsalian who I wasn't up on. At the time. I'm grateful for that. Kingsalian is that.
Sound just like that. Mike, you know, I have one rule to live by, right? Don't place par
a lays on multiple Long shots. Don't say a game is one. When it hasn't hit triple zero.
Always drink your gig or master ice cold. That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion.
