Mero (3:24)

Not elders, though. Miro. Like, I was talking more so before. Like. So, like, I'm Cuban, but I don't know what's appropriate to say hello to someone when it's not special. Specifically, like in professional settings, like, there's a conflict. You grow up in a Cuban community, everyone's Cuban. Like, okay, you kiss everybody hello, and then you get out of the bubble into the real world, it's like, oh, you don't just go up and kiss people. Like, that is weird.

Dan Le Batard (3:46)

Yo, listen, so the context matters. Yes. You don't want to be cuomo, you know what I'm saying? Where you just be like, hey, I'm not. Like, I'm not a weird guy. And it's a. It's a cultural thing. That's what we do. We just kiss people on the mouth. We touch their cans a little bit. That's what. That's what we do. We're just Italian. It's traditional. That's that. No, no, do not do that. Do not do that. So thank you for the.

Stugotz (4:12)

Thank you for the visual aid on the touching of the cans, by the way.

Tony (4:17)

Some people don't know Dan. Some people don't.

Dan Le Batard (4:20)

Sometimes you gotta test, see what's up with them. You know, it's like Tom Brady with the footballs. You gotta check the PSI on the kids. Anyway, having that context, like I said, kind of is important in a professional setting now. You don't just jump out and kiss somebody. Even though he's not saying professional, though.

Stugotz (4:39)

He's just saying someone outside of culture by way of greeting. You're meeting someone.

Dan Le Batard (4:46)

It'S like, it really is like game time decision, you know what I'm saying? It's like, like a bang bang play. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, if you feel the energy and they are A kiss receiver, and you're a kiss giver, and you just feel it, you know, you can feel it. Like, it's the same thing with the dap hug combo. Like, what if. If somebody resists the dap? There's a lot of guys, you know, listen, I'm in Jersey now, y', all, and, like, there's a lot of guys that I coach with that do the dap hug combo, and they bring it in, and a lot of them are members of law enforcement, and they do. They give me, like, a firm. Like, they stop the gap. They interrupted that and turn it into, like, a regular, like, you know, like, hey, buddy, handshake. Because they're not even trying to do the dap because they got. So there's an energy in greeting somebody that you feel automatically. So, you know, if they're a kisser, hugger, dapper, you know, I'm saying, like, the karate, like, real quick, like, yo, what's up, bro? Like, or if they're like a hey, how are you, buddy? For a handshake guy, you know, but you got this.

Mero (5:45)

You got to meet their energy is the thing. Like, you can't be the one that tries to set the tone because that's where you end up getting yourself in trouble. Like, it's better to kind of do, like, the key appeal where you, like, insult them. Like, assuming, like, this is what it is, and, like, I'd rather you be insulted than I crossed the line.

Dan Le Batard (6:00)

Exactly. Don't follow yourself. You know what I mean? Go in there with a hey, buddy. And if it goes beyond that, you know, saying if the energy is right for a hug or an embrace, a warm embrace. Every time I see Dan, I gave him a kiss on the cheek. The odd. And I give him a warm hug, you know. You know, Mike as well, you know, we. We. We do the double kiss, you know, Mafioso, you know, I was gonna say Pat Riley. I thought Pat Riley was actually in the studio with you guys.

Stugotz (6:28)

Put it on the poll, please. Juju at Lebiton show. Do you trust the guy who won't correctly do the dap hug combo with you? We're going to get to refrain del dia. We' get to Tony's top 25 reggaeton artists.

Mike Ryan (6:42)

I want to ask. I want to ask Mero about what's going on in pop culture right now surrounding Bad Bunny. And we just came to the realization that the complaints from certain people saying, I don't understand what he is saying is valid because we kind of speak Spanish. Understand Spanish, and we don't know what he's saying either.

Dan Le Batard (7:01)

Listen, all he has to say is, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it.

Tony (7:05)

Bye, Bonnie, baby.

Dan Le Batard (7:18)

You know what I'm saying? Like, we could.

Tony (7:20)

I know.

Stugotz (7:21)

What do you make of the reaction, though? Because he's a very popular pick with people who are monitoring popularity, but there is Fox out there, and a whole lot of people are mad about Bad Bunny being the halftime show.

Dan Le Batard (7:35)

Like, so. Two things. First of all, you're an idiot. This is the most popular artists on the planet right now. Like, period. End of story. Why not? Like, this is. This is business, guys. This is business. NFL playing games in Brazil, they're playing games in London. They're trying to globalize American football. And what better way to do it than by being like, hey, guys, look, we're going to have a Puerto Rican guy do the halftime show. You know what I'm saying? And he's going to say. He's going to do all of it in Spanish. You know what I'm saying? And we're. And we're expanding. We're opening the doors of the NFL, y'. All, like, welcome. Everybody can be here and, like, be a part of this. Also, shout out to my guy, Eddie Wong. He gave me a crazy take that I think is kind of accurate. What does the NFL need to function? Black and brown bodies, you know what I'm saying? And how do you get black and brown bodies interested in the game of football then? By putting an artist out there that represents them. You got a lot of Dominican baseball players that came to the major leagues because it was just cheaper, you know what I'm saying? So on a business, this could be a psyop, you know what I'm saying? Like, it could be. It could be something crazy. But for the guy that's walking out of the bass pro shop complaining. Shut the up, bro. This is not about you. This is about the NFL and growing the game. And what better way to grow the game than having the literal, most popular international.

Stugotz (8:59)

You keep doing that. You keep doing that. You're biased, okay? Taylor Swift is bigger.

Tony (9:03)

Stop, Dan, stop that.

Stugotz (9:04)

Taylor Swift is bigger than.

Dan Le Batard (9:07)

He doesn't get it.

Mero (9:07)

He doesn't get it.

Dan Le Batard (9:09)

You can't turn up to. Taylor Swift does that. I've never been at a club. And listen, maybe I'm at the wrong clubs. I've never been.

Tony (9:17)

You're at the right club. You're at the right club.

Dan Le Batard (9:19)

At a dance. Thank you, Tony. A party, anything where anybody's been, like, yo, throwing that Taylor Swift. She doesn't have, like, bangers. You know what I mean? Like, she doesn't have a sapphire. No, you're having ale.

Stugotz (9:31)

You're. You're biased because you and. You and Deezus called Taylor Swift long back on Fallon a while ago. You've been tearing down Taylor Swift for a while. You. You personally.

Dan Le Batard (9:43)

No, hey, listen, don't do that, because then the Fed's gonna call me again. Listen, the. The thing with Taylor Swift is that it's just not for me. It's not for me. And when I say it's not for me, I mean that it's not for most people like me. You know what I'm saying? Like, it means you're not a 14.

Mero (9:59)

Year old white girl.

Dan Le Batard (10:00)

Yeah, right, exactly. Thank you. You know what I'm saying? Like, I didn't want to say that because it could have been isolated and uses a sound bite against me, but that's what it is, bro. This is like. This is like. Like teeny popper. Like, I'm gonna take my daughter to a Taylor Swift show in like five years, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's not for me. Like, it's for them. And, like, they are not watching football. Like, like, otherwise she'd be doing it every year.

Tony (10:24)

What's the cut off on taking your. Your daughter to a bad bunny show?

Dan Le Batard (10:28)

We could go whenever. Like, there's no age limit for that. Like, I don't care.

Tony (10:32)

Friends and family, everybody included. All family affair.

Dan Le Batard (10:35)

It's a family affair, bro.

Mero (10:36)

I don't even care.

Dan Le Batard (10:37)

Like, you'll cover your ears. Where he says, like, discovery is, he opens with that.

Tony (10:42)

And that's the first line. So are they going to. Here's Mara. All right, here. Here's a question I've had. So obviously there's a lot of Hispanic and Spanish curse words that people don't understand. Are they going to bleep the Hispanic Spanish curse words on the Super Bowl?

Dan Le Batard (10:57)

Hopefully not. Hopefully. The NFL is so American and so, like, Anglo that they're like, yeah, whatever. He's just saying, you know how they sometimes did it? Last time it was just like singing in non English.

Tony (11:09)

Yes.

Dan Le Batard (11:10)

Like, speaking in non English. Just do that and let him go crazy.

Stugotz (11:14)

One of my great joys growing up in Miami is that the FCC doesn't listen to Spanish radio because they don't understand the words. So I'm like, how the hell are they getting away with all of this? And it's just because it's a different somewhere. No, it's not a straight Co owners. No, it's there. No one's governing Spanish language radio. There is no governance of it is. There is nobody who understands what's being said on Spanish language radio. Governing Spanish language.

Mero (11:46)

Spanish curses are different, though, than like, English curse. I know that. That's like, a ridiculous thing to say. Like, in Spanish, you don't get as easily offended by like. Yeah, profanities is like. And also, like, a curse word could also mean something. Like, this is really endearing, actually. You know what I mean? So, like, it's hard to be offended by something that's also a compliment half the time.

Dan Le Batard (12:07)

That's what I'm saying. Also, the etho. The. The etho suffix makes everything, like, less offensive.

Tony (12:13)

Softens it, like.

Dan Le Batard (12:14)

Yeah, softens the blow. You know what I'm saying? And like, also, like, Spanish essentially is like a. It's like a more.

Stugotz (12:20)

It's a Roman.

Dan Le Batard (12:20)

It's a romance language. So you can say something like, God, and it lands different, you know, I'm saying, let me be like again.

Stugotz (12:28)

It's just because the FCC doesn't have anybody who knows what the words are that are being said.

Mero (12:33)

Like, I mean, what are you doing here? You like what? You want censorship? You want the market saying, like, what's going on here?

Stugotz (12:40)

You think Mike Lombardi and his. And his typewriter are going to learn Spanish in order to govern me?

Dan Le Batard (12:47)

There's pro fcc. This is crazy. Wow.

Stugotz (12:52)

You should listen to the Kid Marrow. Victory Light with the Kid Marrow, it's iHeartRadio. New episodes twice a week. Wherever it is you get your podcast. You should also watch him on his YouTube channel at. According to the kid, we're going to get to Refron del Dia. We're going to get to 25 rigaton artists, top 25 of all time. But I need to make fun of your Yankees for a second. So let me do this in a number of different ways. First of all, play for him. John Sterling being hit by a foul ball. Now the three, two, swung on, a.

Dan Le Batard (13:22)

Pop foul back here. Ow, ow, ow. It really hit her.

Stugotz (13:29)

I didn't know it was coming back that far.

Dan Le Batard (13:31)

That. That hurt.

Stugotz (13:33)

That hurt me.

Dan Le Batard (13:35)

Yo, you hear that, old man? That's a old man. That's the old man. That's like, yo, you took. You take Papy to a Marlins game and he catches the foul ball to the neck, bro. Like, that's. That's old man pain, bro. That's a different type of pain. Because old men don't feel pain. So when they get hurt, it's like, yo, this. That shit really hurt. So. And the ow, bro. It wasn't even like a ugh. It wasn't like a manly like, ugh. He was like, ow. That means that he got caught off guard and he got really hurt. The voice of the Yankees, Sean Sterling.

Mike Ryan (14:06)

Hey, Jeremy, old buddy, old pal.

Stugotz (14:08)

Hey, Mike.

Mike Ryan (14:08)

I want to talk to you about Miller Lite. You and I have bonded over these last few weeks talking about our shared love of Miller Lite.

Tony (14:13)

That's right.

Mike Ryan (14:14)

A great partner of our show for practically its entire, entire existence.

Tony (14:18)

It's been a partner of this show since I was 10 years old and.

Mike Ryan (14:21)

It'S been around for 50 years and they've been a part of our show for almost 20. We're approaching incredible partner status with Miller Lite.

Tony (14:29)

I mean, to think that people were celebrating at my bar mitzvah with Miller Lite as they were a partner of this show is pretty incredible.

Mike Ryan (14:36)

You're talking about the moments that are made better by making those times, those special times. Miller Time. Jeremy, there's nothing like cracking open Miller Lite with your crew this football season. It's especially true whether it's a touchdown you didn't see coming or just arguing about fantasy lineups you already know you're gonna lose. Miller Lite has been the taste you can depend on for 50 years. Brewed for flavor with simple ingredients, rich toffee notes that iconic golden color. And here's a kicker, Jeremy.

Dan Le Batard (15:01)

What's that?

Mike Ryan (15:01)

It's just 96 calories.

Tony (15:02)

Mero (15:04)

Dan Le Batard (17:29)

Don Libertard. I'm just here to say one thing. The Knicks are back.

Stugotz (17:34)

Stugats.

Dan Le Batard (17:35)

Tyree Salibraton six points.

Mero (17:37)

Fraud.

Dan Le Batard (17:38)

Everybody was like, yo, he's better than Jalen Brunson.

Stugotz (17:40)

He's better than Janik.

Dan Le Batard (17:41)

Should attracted him.

Tony (17:42)

Fraud.

Dan Le Batard (17:43)

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugach.

Mike Ryan (17:57)

Dan, I have to stop you real quick. It's reggaeton.

Tony (18:01)

You're making it a noodle.

Stugotz (18:02)

Ow can you play Vladimir?

Dan Le Batard (18:06)

I was gonna say, why didn't he call a rigatoni?

Tony (18:11)

We're all fighting our battles here, Mero.

Dan Le Batard (18:14)

Yo. I was like, well, I like a Bolognese. I like it with vodka sauce. I like a little rigatoni carbonara sometimes, you know, throw the egg in the. Ow.

Stugotz (18:26)

We're making fun of him here. Not me. Today, let's play Vladimir Guerrero enjoying making fun of the Yankees.

Mike Ryan (18:41)

That sounds so Dominican.

Tony (18:42)

He's torn right now. He's torn right now to say something. He loves Vladdy, though.

Dan Le Batard (18:48)

Let me tell you something. Also Vladimir. Yo, Vladi Jr. Yo, my bro. Like, like, suave. My suave bro. You play for the Toronto Blue Jays, gang. Remember that? You play for the Toronto Blue Jays. That's fine. But we will be right back here next year. You will not. Okay? We had a bad stretch in the summer that would have changed everything. By the way, we demolished the Boston Red Sox.

Mike Ryan (19:29)

Who.

Dan Le Batard (19:35)

Yeah, okay. That's fine, papi. You invented that phrase. You coined that phrase. Your team also got smoked by a kid named Cam Schlitler. Okay, Yankee lose. That's fine. The guys are blowing it. The women are doing great. My God, the Gotham FC is doing great. Shot to Mitch Purse. You know what I'm saying? We're doing good. New York sponsors, we're up. Okay, Knicks about to kick it off. We're looking phenomenal. 7pm is about to come back. Come back out. You know what I'm saying?

Stugotz (20:05)

You.

Dan Le Batard (20:06)

New York Sports is in a great place. Jackson Dart is our starting quarterback. I'm going there tonight. You listen to me. Who y' all got? DraftKings. Who's your. Who's your.

Stugotz (20:15)

Yeah, it's only DraftKings. DraftKings is the only thing that matters.

Dan Le Batard (20:19)

DraftKings, everybody that's putting a bet in tonight. 24, 21. New York Giants over the Philadelphia Eagles tonight, Thursday night. I'm in the building.

Stugotz (20:32)

He knows so little English.

Tony (20:37)

He knows what he needs to know.

Stugotz (20:40)

That is the perfect accent from someone who basically doesn't know very much English, but knows how to make fun of the Yankees in English.

Dan Le Batard (20:49)

That's it. Yankee Lou. You know, people are like, yo, do you speak Spanish? And they're like, yeah, I know. Like, some bad words. Like, that's popping with English. Like, he's like, yo, do you speak English? He's like, yeah, I know how to, like, make slander the Yankees.

Tony (21:06)

The great part about that sound is that there's no S's on here. Yankee or loses Yankees, there's nothing.

Dan Le Batard (21:17)

Lose. Yankee. Yankee. Lou the Yankee.

Mero (21:20)

Lou.

Dan Le Batard (21:22)

The Yankee. Look at me, Louie the Yankee Lou. No, that's a G Louie right there. Someone talking about Lou Gehrig.

Mike Ryan (21:32)

Someone Talking about Lou gehrig in the 1960s.

Dan Le Batard (21:35)

The Yankee Lou getting disease.

Stugotz (21:38)

He doesn't. He doesn't know enough English to put the S at the end of Yankees or everything is a Z in there. He doesn't have the English facility to say this correctly.

Dan Le Batard (21:50)

Let me tell you something. This is important. This is important fact to know about Dominicans. Dominicans don't believe in S's in Spanish or in English. We do not believe in the letter S. The letter S does not exist for us in Spanish or in English.

Stugotz (22:19)

Let's play the Toronto manager. You know his name? Mero. Do you know John Schneider?

Dan Le Batard (22:24)

Schneider.

Tony (22:25)

Schneider.

Stugotz (22:26)

Here's Schneider making fun of your Yankee Lou.

Dan Le Batard (22:30)

Every single one of you.

Stugotz (22:31)

Bullpen, game.

Dan Le Batard (22:32)

Nathan Lucas, Miles Straw.

Tony (22:34)

All you.

Dan Le Batard (22:35)

It takes everybody, every day. Start spreading the news.

Stugotz (22:38)

We're going.

Dan Le Batard (22:45)

You know, you don't.

Stugotz (22:46)

You know what?

Dan Le Batard (22:47)

You know what? Hustle. Listen, I'm.

Stugotz (22:49)

I'm.

Dan Le Batard (22:49)

I'm truly, truly unbothered by this. But what bothers me is that every other fan base makes it. This is your championship. I said this about the paces, bro. Like, this is your championship, bro. Like, beating New York is your championship. For every fan base across America. It's sad. You have pride in your own teams. Guys have pride in winning and just winning. Like, yo, we're going to the alcs, something we haven't done in that long because we suck. We're the Toronto Blue Jays. We absolutely suck. Vladimir Guerrero is wasting his career playing here. We're not going to win anything of any. You know, I'm saying we're never going to win a ring. You're not going to do that. You're not going to win a World Series. Have fun. Enjoy it. Enjoy beating the Yankees, you know what I'm saying? Who brought in Camilo Doval, you know what I'm saying? And you know, to shore up the bullpen, you know what I'm saying? Like, hey, enjoy, enjoy, you know what I'm saying? Because you know what? It's never gonna happen again. It's not gonna happen again.

Mike Ryan (23:57)

How does baseball keep getting away with this? Where you have a champagne celebration just for.

Dan Le Batard (24:01)

We got out of the second round?

Mike Ryan (24:03)

Like, this is the dumbest thing. Outside of the Minnesota Timberwolves at one time, I don't see any other professional North American sports behave this way for just merely advancing past the first round.

Dan Le Batard (24:16)

It's because baseball is such a slog. The entire season is. There's 10, 35 games and you're playing every single day. You're going, you're flying to Detroit 20 times a year. So it's just like, you know, like when. When it's over, you're like, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like. Like, yo, it's almost over. I think they're not celebrating the fact that they made it to next step. They're celebrating the fact that they're closer to the end, you know what I'm saying? That's what I think.

Tony (24:43)

Mero Complex came out with the top 25 reggaeton artists of all time. I'm not going to give all 25 reggaeton.

Dan Le Batard (24:50)

There you go.

Tony (24:51)

You know. All right, I'm going to give you. I think I agree with the top 10. I'll give you the top 10 in a second. But from the notables, from the top 25, 23.

Dan Le Batard (24:59)

De la Ghetto Low for me, but that's fine.

Tony (25:02)

There's some OGs in this, like, back half. Nyengo flow at 22.

Dan Le Batard (25:07)

Okay.

Tony (25:08)

Nicky jam at 18, which I thought was a little low as well.

Dan Le Batard (25:11)

Yeah, she probably should be top 10.

Tony (25:13)

Hector y Tito at 17. Yeah, I know, I know, I know.

Dan Le Batard (25:17)

That's crazy. That's blasphemous, bro. I'm Dominican. I know. And that's blasphemous.

Tony (25:21)

I know. Hector Eto is 17, is low. Calletres at 16, Anuel at 15, and Zion and Lennox at 11.

Dan Le Batard (25:30)

What? Yeah, yo, Zion and Lennox is top five. First of all. Let me stop, like, yo, first of all, Nicky Jam, like, musically should be in the top 10 as a dude. He's a very hot girl. It's very hot.

Stugotz (25:44)

Look at Mickey.

Dan Le Batard (25:45)

So hot. She's so hot. Nicky Jam, that's probably what bumped him down. But listen, if you were a reggae tone duo and you had an ampersand in your name, you're in the top 10.

Tony (25:58)

It was hot, whatever it was.

Dan Le Batard (25:59)

It was Hotel.

Tony (26:03)

Not even on the list.

Dan Le Batard (26:05)

Not on the list.

Tony (26:06)

The list.

Dan Le Batard (26:06)

All right, well, hold on.

Stugotz (26:07)

Come up with your own top five list. He'll get. He'll give us his top 10 here or the list stuff 10, but let's do yours. Off the top of your head. You're gonna go 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. And let's see how close your list is to Tony's list. No, Li, just give us number five from you five.

Dan Le Batard (26:25)

Number five, Jolly Randy. Okay, Number four, Al Gang Hill. Number three, Daddy Yankee.

Stugotz (26:36)

Number two.

Dan Le Batard (26:39)

And number one. Wow.

Mero (26:43)

A lot of.

Tony (26:44)

A lot of people from that top.

Dan Le Batard (26:46)

Five make the list.

Tony (26:47)

Okay, so Joel Randy is at 12 in. In the complex list. We'll start with 11. So 11 is Zioni Lennox, and then 10 is Carol G. Oh, okay.

Dan Le Batard (26:57)

Shout to Cal G. 10.

Tony (26:59)

10 feels high.

Mike Ryan (27:01)

Coachella. Right?

Tony (27:02)

Okay.

Dan Le Batard (27:03)

If you. If you're going to put that needs to be Evie Queen in there.

Tony (27:07)

Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Number nine. Number nine, number nine.

Dan Le Batard (27:14)

Okay, good.

Tony (27:16)

It should be a little lower. Number eight.

Dan Le Batard (27:19)

Okay. Okay, I'll take it.

Tony (27:22)

Number seven, Osuna.

Dan Le Batard (27:23)

Oh.

Tony (27:25)

Which I think was a little.

Dan Le Batard (27:26)

A little low, right?

Tony (27:27)

It's a little high, but a little low. If. Whichever way you're looking at it, I think he should be further. I think it should be further back in the list. If it's. If you're talking about.

Dan Le Batard (27:35)

I think it's Recency Bias.

Tony (27:38)

Number six, J. Balvin. You didn't like that one?

Stugotz (27:45)

Recency Bias. What's the matter?

Dan Le Batard (27:46)

Yeah, I think that's like. He did a Pokemon. Think of Thong Song, bro. That's. I think that's just like going through.

Tony (27:52)

Slaps Oasis with him. And Bad Bunny was. Was a great album fight.

Dan Le Batard (27:58)

But see, but that's like. That's like.

Tony (27:59)

That's like Bad Bunny doing a lot of the heavy lifting. That.

Dan Le Batard (28:04)

Thank you.

Tony (28:04)

I know Ball, buddy. I know Ball.

Mike Ryan (28:06)

Where's Henfasis? Where's Henfasis? We need Lento.

Tony (28:11)

Not.

Dan Le Batard (28:12)

Not on the list.

Tony (28:13)

All right, starting off at number five, Tego Caderon. So at least a top five for Tayo.

Dan Le Batard (28:19)

Legend.

Tony (28:19)

Legend.

Dan Le Batard (28:20)

Legend.

Tony (28:21)

Number four.

Dan Le Batard (28:22)

The Rakim of reggaeton.

Tony (28:23)

Yes. Number four, Dono Mad.

Dan Le Batard (28:27)

Good. We're good. We're going good.

Tony (28:29)

You like Donna Ford?

Dan Le Batard (28:30)

Yeah. Somebody. Somebody on Complex. Got a Puerto Rican titi. That's.

Stugotz (28:36)

They got some health care.

Dan Le Batard (28:38)

Yeah, yeah. They got some help. They was. They got a TT that was at Club Exit in 1999. Wow. You know what I'm saying?

Tony (28:44)

The heydays, they would have heard. They would have heard this next duo. Number three. We seen Yandel at number three. They had a run. They had a crazy run. I was looking. I was going back into the Wikipedia and look at some of their discographies. They had a massive run of banger after banger after banger after banger.

Dan Le Batard (29:01)

Massive. You hear me?

Tony (29:09)

Number two. Number two. Dy. You didn't have Daddy in your. In your top five.

Dan Le Batard (29:17)

Yeah, because it's like. It's like saying, like, Jay Z is in your top five.

Tony (29:22)

It's too OG to even.

Stugotz (29:23)

It's too og.

Dan Le Batard (29:24)

It's like, you know, if I was. It's like being like, yo, DJ playero, like, bro, he started the whole thing.

Tony (29:30)

Like, you know, number one, biggest artist on the planet, Bad Bunny.

Stugotz (29:36)

You guys are already doing that. You guys are already doing that. You're saying he's the best there's ever been.

Tony (29:40)

100 Dan. There's nobody that has been able to put out one, two to six albums that every single one of them has been a banger with rarely a skip on it. No artist has been ever able to do something like that. Think of any rap artist, any rock band, any pop artist. Nobody has an album from top to bottom that has zero skips. Bad Bunny has six of them.

Dan Le Batard (30:02)

You know what I'm saying?

Stugotz (32:11)

You're on Perks.

Mike Ryan (32:12)

Stugats.

Stugotz (32:13)

You know what I mean? That.

Dan Le Batard (32:14)

Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly.

Stugotz (32:17)

Allegedly.

Dan Le Batard (32:18)

This is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats.

Stugotz (32:29)

Billy doesn't agree. I heard a stray. What? There. He's scared.

Tony (32:32)

That's fine. He doesn't have.

Dan Le Batard (32:33)

He's scared.

Mero (32:34)

You're gonna get so crushed for that.

Tony (32:36)

How am I gonna get so crushed for that?

Mero (32:38)

History of music had more hits than bad, but nobody a wild nobody.

Stugotz (32:42)

Well, Drake.

Tony (32:43)

Drake.

Stugotz (32:43)

Well, Drake has had more hits than Bad Bunny. That's already. That's factually so.

Dan Le Batard (32:48)

Quantifiable. Yes.

Stugotz (32:51)

So, Billy, what happened? Why?

Mero (32:52)

Jackson was pretty big at his time.

Dan Le Batard (32:54)

Michael Jackson was pretty big.

Tony (32:56)

You don't get it.

Dan Le Batard (32:58)

You ever hear about this guy named Michael Jackson? Some people like the Beatles, maybe.

Mero (33:04)

Not for you.

Tony (33:04)

Not for me. Definitely.

Dan Le Batard (33:06)

Yeah.

Stugotz (33:06)

Let's not straight. Let's not stray too far from why it is Mero is here. Please.

Dan Le Batard (33:17)

You know what you'll never hear? Marlins win.

Stugotz (33:21)

What?

Mike Ryan (33:22)

Hey, it's Marlin. It's Marlin.

Stugotz (33:26)

I think the Marling have won as many championships as the Yankees this century. Like, I think I. I think I have that right. Pretty close. The last 20 years.

Mike Ryan (33:35)

Last turn of the century.

Stugotz (33:37)

Last 15 years.

Tony (33:38)

Maybe.

Stugotz (33:39)

I got to do some creative math to get there.

Mike Ryan (33:41)

Let's go. Last 24 years.

Dan Le Batard (33:42)

You're doing stat news, math. Dan, don't be like that. You do it within the last two and a half years and weeks and months. Well, do that.

Stugotz (33:50)

How about this, though?

Dan Le Batard (33:51)

We got one in 2009. 2009 is recent enough.

Stugotz (33:53)

Okay? There have now been 110 combined consecutive seasons. Rangers, Islanders, Knicks, Nets, Yankees, Mets, Jets, Giants. That New York hasn't won a championship since the Giants won the Super bowl in 2012.

Dan Le Batard (34:09)

Well, listen, that's. That's. That's being very misogynistic because we're not talking about the women and the women's games.

Stugotz (34:15)

The Liberty.

Dan Le Batard (34:16)

You know what I'm saying?

Stugotz (34:16)

You're right.

Dan Le Batard (34:17)

You hear me? We got Gotham at 23. Liberty also.

Tony (34:21)

You know what I'm saying?

Stugotz (34:21)

Cooking. Yeah.

Dan Le Batard (34:22)

You know, so let's. Let's give it.

Stugotz (34:27)

You really got me there. You did. You cornered me. You made me forget about the Liberty. You really did corner me on that one. I thought I had you. And I. I did. I got exposed There. I'm embarrassed. Let's do refran before we make everybody go to the bucket.

Tony (35:02)

Thank you. Thank you. The return of Ronda Dia.

Dan Le Batard (35:05)

Hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it.

Tony (35:07)

Yeah, exactly right. We have the kid marrow in the building. We've got me. We've got the wheel. Spin it.

Stugotz (35:16)

What are our choices on the wheel? I don't think Roy was ready.

Tony (35:19)

Roy knows the segment that has a wheel.

Stugotz (35:21)

Roy doesn't know. I think Roy is unprepared for the wheel for refron. And in general, I think Roy has been confused by the last five minutes of language. He doesn't understand anything that was said around here.

Tony (35:34)

You're right. All right, we got our. But I found the D. Roy, can you hit the music for me?

Stugotz (35:41)

We're already in the music.

Tony (35:42)

A little louder. I want it a little louder, though, for the vibes. I want it a little louder.

Dan Le Batard (35:46)

Do you just follow a script?

Tony (35:47)

No, listen. I want the music a little bit louder. Like you guys want to turn up to Taylor Swift. I want to turn up to my culture.

Mero (35:52)

Thank you're a teleprompter guy.

Tony (35:54)

No, I'm not a teleprompter. Nothing here is teleprompted. All right?

Dan Le Batard (35:56)

His name is actually Roy Royce, but since we do not pronounce sounds, that's why you call him Roy all the time.

Tony (36:04)

Prince Royce. Prince Royce is missing from that list as well. Prince Royce. Real, real ones know, by the way. All right, today's is good.

Stugotz (36:19)

You're good. You're good. You sound like me with reggaeton.

Tony (36:24)

Translates from Spanish to English as made of yogurt or a maid of yogurt made of yogurt.

Stugotz (36:32)

It sounds like you surprised Mero.

Tony (36:35)

It's a very human Mero.

Stugotz (36:36)

Didn't even understand your refrain.

Tony (36:39)

Yeah, today's a teaching refunded. Usually there's cross cultures that understand the same ones. This one is a uniquely Cuban saying that means echo or means made of yogurt.

Mero (36:47)

Yeah, but that's one of those things incorporated English, Spanish. Like that could also be something dirty.

Tony (36:51)

Exactly right. But the reason why I'm at you right now is because my daughter has me up at night. She was kicking me this morning. I didn't sleep at all. I made nothing. I made just a bland substance of nothing. Right now I'm exhausted. My life is a wreck right now. That's another. That's another synonym. Exactly right. Exactly right. Synonym for.

Stugotz (37:28)

You can't say. You can't say that out loud on the airwaves.

Mero (37:35)

Oh, here we go. Fcc.

Tony (37:37)

You're going to call the FCC on that money when he says that?

Mero (37:40)

This guy was celebrating when Jimmy Kimmel got taken off the air.

Dan Le Batard (37:42)

I knew he was hyped.

Tony (37:43)

Thank you.

Dan Le Batard (37:44)

It's about dangerous. I knew you were an ally. He said, good for him.

Stugotz (37:48)

Go ahead and do refrand El Dionado. Please.

Mike Ryan (37:51)

Go ahead.

Stugotz (37:52)

Please, please.

Tony (37:53)

That's a. That's a hall of famer, by the way, that your dad was a part of. And he put his head in his hands because he didn't want to answer.

Stugotz (37:58)

No, because of course. Say that out loud.

Dan Le Batard (38:01)

No balls.

Tony (38:02)

Have no balls. A unic. Somebody with no testicles. They are sans testicles. They are decojo now.

Dan Le Batard (38:11)

You have no testicular fortitude.

Tony (38:12)

None.

Stugotz (38:16)

Are you familiar with the Dentek bucket? I need the Dentek mouthpieces in here. Does everyone have their mouthpieces? Are they ready to go to the bucket? Because I don't think that the kid Marrow knows what it is that we're doing here. But if you get a bad football team here, Marrow, you're going to be stuck in a situation where you have to pay a punishment. I don't have the lines in front of me. Do you guys have the lines in front of you as we got all.

Mike Ryan (38:42)

These at the top of the dome? Because I know ball.

Stugotz (38:45)

Okay, we're going to do the Dentek bucket here with Mero and let's see what we have here. You get to. Let's give him the rules in a second on what it is that we're doing here because he's not done this with us. But he's going to have to pay a penalty here if he gets a losing team. You get one pick in the bucket and if you don't like that pick, you get another pick. But the second pick stands. It's fairly self explanatory. All right, Tony, you go first.

Dan Le Batard (39:11)

I started off here on the bucket sponsor of our dte.

Tony (39:17)

The Carolina Panthers. I don't.

Stugotz (39:19)

You don't want that ever. Unless it's a buy.

Mero (39:22)

They are playing against the Cowboys. Cowboys are three point favorites.

Tony (39:25)

Yeah, I'm going to put that one.

Mike Ryan (39:26)

You're going to put that one.

Stugotz (39:27)

Okay.

Dan Le Batard (39:28)

Yeah. Cowboys are going to roll.

Tony (39:30)

Cowboys are going to roll.

Dan Le Batard (39:32)

All right, here we go.

Mike Ryan (39:35)

All right.

Tony (39:35)

The Packers.

Mike Ryan (39:37)

Packers are playing Joe Flacco.

Tony (39:39)

Oh, no.

Dan Le Batard (39:39)

Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco. I'm kind of nervous about that.

Tony (39:43)

If you want to be honest.

Stugotz (39:44)

You shouldn't be. What? They're big favorite.

Mike Ryan (39:45)

They're 14 minus 14.

Dan Le Batard (39:47)

Yeah, but you guys don't know, Joe.

Tony (39:49)

Flacco gets to a new team, all.

Dan Le Batard (39:52)

Of a sudden he's going to play well.

Mike Ryan (39:53)

Joe Flacco's already 10 against the Packers.

Stugotz (39:55)

Exactly right.

Dan Le Batard (39:56)

Thank you, Mike.

Stugotz (39:57)

He knows how to beat him.

Dan Le Batard (40:00)

He's got that number.

Mike Ryan (40:01)

Is this the first time a quarterback has played a non division team twice? Something to ponder.

Tony (40:08)

Good point.

Dan Le Batard (40:08)

Here we go.

Stugotz (40:09)

I know.

Dan Le Batard (40:09)

Ball. The Dallas Cowboys. Yeah. I keep this.

Stugotz (40:13)

You want that? Okay.

Dan Le Batard (40:14)

I like the Cowboys.

Stugotz (40:15)

They're on the road as a three point favorite.

Mike Ryan (40:18)

We almost die.

Stugotz (40:18)

The Cowboys, three and a half point favorite. Billy's going to go now.

Mero (40:23)

I got the Steelers.

Mike Ryan (40:26)

Steelers are off the ball.

Stugotz (40:28)

You know, they're playing in Cleveland and they're five and a half point favorite.

Mero (40:31)

I'm going to keep this too.

Mike Ryan (40:32)

Go on, Paul.

Mero (40:33)

I'm going to keep this too loose.

Stugotz (40:34)

That's going to be Gabriel as your quarterback, throwing the ball six yards at a time.

Mero (40:41)

All right.

Mike Ryan (40:41)

The bucket is presented by Dentech Ultimate Fantasy football punishment.

Dan Le Batard (40:45)

Learn more and sign up your league@dentech.com.

Mike Ryan (40:48)

Where'S your mouthpiece, buddy?

Dan Le Batard (40:50)

Oh, I have it right here.

Mero (40:55)

Yes.

Stugotz (40:55)

That's supposed to be taken out.

Dan Le Batard (40:56)

Zaz has that.

Stugotz (40:57)

That's not supposed to be in there.

Dan Le Batard (40:59)

It's never been again.

Mike Ryan (41:00)

Let's not do this.

Stugotz (41:01)

Congratulations, Roy. Thank you, Roy. You need to play the sound that goes with the golden helmet of life.

Tony (41:07)

Dan, are you gonna pull for Merrill or.

Mike Ryan (41:10)

I can't.

Dan Le Batard (41:10)

I can't physically pull.

Tony (41:12)

Yeah, you gotta pull for marrow, Dan.

Stugotz (41:15)

All right. This pick is for marrow right here. He's got the swapped helmet helmet.

Tony (41:21)

Oh, wow.

Dan Le Batard (41:23)

You gotta pull another one, Dan.

Stugotz (41:26)

The swap helmet means you get to take anyone else's helmet that you want. Mero, you get to any helmet that you want around here. The golden helmet of life is the best thing that you can get. The other pick is for the Texan. So you have the Texan. You got two good helmets, no penalties for you.

Mike Ryan (41:43)

So you could either be satisfied that you're safe on the one time, maybe all season, that you'll pick this, or just be mean to Roy and give him just one week of safety as opposed to three.

Tony (41:56)

You know what?

Dan Le Batard (41:57)

Y' all have been saying, Royce, incorrectly, so I'm willing to take the buy. Safety. No one's happy about that because I got mad love for Roy, you know what I'm saying? He's just up there doing his damn thing every day. First one in, last one out. You know what I'm saying? Real studio rat. Not today.

Stugotz (42:19)

You know what I'm saying, that's very nice of you. I took the Chargers. I got the Chargers. They're seven. They're. They're a seven and a half point favorite at Baltimore.

Dan Le Batard (42:28)

Big Justin Herbert, guy.

Stugotz (42:29)

I'll keep that.

Tony (42:30)

No Chargers for the Dolphins.

Mero (42:32)

Yeah, I don't know what you're looking at.

Mike Ryan (42:34)

You're still good.

Mero (42:34)

There's still four and a half favorites against the Dolphins.

Dan Le Batard (42:37)

Keep that. Keep that.

Mike Ryan (42:37)

You're still fine.

Dan Le Batard (42:38)

You're looking at the Rams.

Mike Ryan (42:40)

I was looking at the Ravens.

Mero (42:42)

Where's the cheaters, man?

Tony (42:42)

Rams tough.

Dan Le Batard (42:43)

You got Rams online.

Stugotz (42:45)

Merrill, good seeing you. Victory light with the kid. Meryl from iheartradio. New episodes twice a week. Wherever it is, you get your podcast. You also got his YouTube channel at. According to the kid. Hit him one more time with the Vladimir Guerrero before Billy. Before Billy buries Tony here.

Mero (43:05)

It's not a Berry. It just, you know, we had some people do some research in the back on top in. In regards to Billboard number one hits.

Dan Le Batard (43:12)

You said that.

Tony (43:13)

That's where I already know your argument is flawed because you're going to the Billboard mainstream artist and seeing like, oh, yeah, what a billboard say. I don't give a what Billboard says. How about that one?

Mero (43:20)

The most hits ever. I'm just gonna. I'm just gonna read you the top.

Tony (43:23)

What I. What I said was. What I said. Just to clarify really quick, before you read the top five, what I said was his albums have no skips. Yeah, that's what I said. And this is just hits. No album. He's got every album has no skips in it. That's what I said.

Mero (43:34)

This is just these. Billboard ranks number one song. All right. Number five on the list, Drake with 13 number one songs.

Tony (43:43)

More hits in the Beatles. Yes, we know that.

Mero (43:44)

Tied with Drake, but at number four, Michael Jackson, 13 number one songs. At number three, Rihanna has 14 number one songs. Damn good for her number number two. This one might be a surprise to you guys. Number two. Mariah Carey has 19 number one songs of all time.

Dan Le Batard (44:04)

Yeah, number one. Let me tell you something. Yeah, before you drop the number one, let me tell you something. We'll open your third eye to calcify your pineal gland. It's a manufactured with stream farms nowadays. Think about it.

Tony (44:16)

Thank you.

Mero (44:17)

I saw a thing where Akon was talking about how he just make ringtone music because he realized you could get 4.99 per ringtone or 199 per stream and he's like, I'm just making ringtones. I don't give A crap.

Tony (44:28)

Soulja boy did the same thing.

Mero (44:29)

Soldier boy was the original number one. The Beatles with 20. If you're wondering where Bad Bunny is, the biggest artist of all time, according to Tony, more hits than anyone.

Tony (44:37)

1.

Mero (44:37)

He has one number one hit of all time. And if you're wondering what that song was, it's I like it. Which is really cardi B And J. Balvin and Bad Bunnies kind of tossed on there.

Dan Le Batard (44:46)

Wow. Tossed on there. He made like he's just the parsley on the stage. Wow.

Mero (44:50)

I listen to that song in the middle of the Caribbean on a cruise, and man, that hit.

Dan Le Batard (44:53)

Of course, when you're walking on the.

Mero (44:55)

Lido deck while that song's played.

Tony (45:00)

He made my point already. We made my point.

Dan Le Batard (45:02)

That's it. I watched Tony's a vibe. Lord.

Tony (45:05)

Thank you.

Dan Le Batard (45:06)

You know what I'm saying? It's all about the vibes. It's not about numbers. It's about the eye test.

Mike Ryan (45:14)

Hey, Jeremy, old buddy, old pal.

Tony (45:15)

Hey, Mike.

Mike Ryan (45:16)

I want to talk to you about Miller Lite. You and I have bonded over these last few weeks talking about our shared love of Miller Lite.

Tony (45:21)

That's right.

Mike Ryan (45:21)

A great partner of our show for practically its entire existence.

Tony (45:26)

It's been a partner of this show since I was 10 years old old.
