Episode Overview

In this lively episode, Dan Le Batard, Stugotz, and the crew engage in their signature brand of sports and pop-culture conversation, blending analysis, nostalgia, and humor. The centerpiece topics revolve around the Cleveland Browns' quarterback battle, the enduring appeal (and cheesiness) of iconic posters and sports nicknames, and an extended, impassioned romp through the world of classic action and prison movies. The episode captures the atmosphere of "guys being dudes"—riffing, roasting, and reminiscing about everything from sports debates to what qualifies as a great movie poster or a "real" prison film.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Cleveland Browns' Quarterback Competition

(00:53–12:17)

• Quarterback Battle Breakdown:
  The crew dives into the Browns' muddled QB situation, dissecting Dylan Gabriel's comment that “there are entertainers and there are competitors. My job is to compete,” with some suspecting it's a veiled jab at fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders (01:35).

• Who Runs the Narrative?
  The debate shifts to whether the media is to blame for hyping non-existent QB battles and how athletes often conflate the "media" at large with loudest national personalities (06:01–07:42).

• Joe Flacco's Place in the Mix:
  Mike Ryan points out Flacco’s unique, almost comical status:

  “No one that's paid attention to the Cleveland Browns lore for the last 40 years knows exactly how this is gonna go.” (06:37, Mike Ryan)
  and quips about Flacco’s glory:
  “I'm sure Joe Flacco takes exception to all of this being like, hey, just two years ago, I was comeback player of the year over a player who died on the field.” (08:04, Mike Ryan)

• Future Prospects:
  Speculation arises that the real battle is to be the Browns’ “QB of the future,” not the Week 1 starter—which everyone concedes will be Flacco (03:13, 03:43). The brutal schedule opening weeks (10:32–10:51) suggest Flacco may not last long before ceding snaps to a rookie.

• How Many Browns QBs Will Play?
  The table places over-under bets on QB appearances for the Browns this year:

  “Over three and a half.” (11:17, Stugotz)

---

2. Top Posters & Dorm Room Decor Nostalgia

(14:35–19:55)

• All-Time Poster Debate:
  The crew launches into “Top 5 Posters All Time,” spanning classics like the Muhammad Ali over Sonny Liston, Abbey Road, Einstein’s tongue out, Michael Jordan’s “Wings,” and Farrah Fawcett in "the red swimsuit."

  “Standing over Sonny Liston...That was the only sports poster I had up in my room.” (15:30, Stugotz)

• Everyone Had the Scarface Poster:
  Chris and Mike debate the universality of the Scarface poster:

  “I feel like everyone I knew in college had the Scarface [poster].” (17:08, Chris)

• Deep Cut Movie & Music Posters:
  Personal favorites and oddities come up—Mike’s collection featured Dead Presidents and Batman Forever, while Stugotz recalls wrestling icons.

---

3. Sports & Movie Nicknames: An Identity Crisis

(24:50–26:52)

• Modern NBA Nicknames:
  The group laments how today’s NBA lacks the “big ticket” or widely adopted player nicknames of old, noting most don't stick beyond Twitter or local fans.

  “I feel very underwhelmed right here. Feel very underwhelmed.” (25:53, Chris)

• The Best Nickname?

  • James Johnson being dubbed “Bloodsport” is the crew’s favorite for sheer accuracy and fit (35:04–35:11).

---

4. Movie Posters, Prison Flicks, and Dude Cinema

(19:55–39:00)

• Movie Poster Reminiscences:
  Beyond sports, the conversation unspools into favorite movie and music posters—Sting, Hulk Hogan, Christina Aguilera, and more. The practicality and meaning of posters vs. “poster-sized photographs” is debated (19:00–20:23).

• Classic Action & Prison Movie Nostalgia:
  An enthusiastic, nearly exhaustive list of “prison movies” and classic guy-action flicks emerges. The panel debates which count, which are overrated, and which never get old.

  • Essential picks: Demolition Man (with deep respect for its “prophetic” qualities and the “three seashells” mystery), Time Cop, Bloodsport, Escape Plan, Brawl in Cell Block 99, Shawshank Redemption, Law Abiding Citizen, and more (30:06–38:14).

• Notable Quotes:

  “Guys being dudes, this is what a podcast is.” (34:21, Mike Ryan)
  “You love prison…You ever seen Brawl in Cell Block 99?” (34:04, Stugotz)

• Stugotz’s surprising love of both time travel and prison movies unites both genres and sets up a string of movie recommendations (32:35–34:21).

---

5. Random, Highly Entertaining Tangents

(throughout)

• Stolen Dorm Memorabilia:
  Chris bemoans the theft of his cherished poster-sized NBA photos (20:21).

• Family Poster Battles:
  Mike’s grandfather’s distaste for posters—especially “devil’s work”—gets some laughs (18:25).

• Rapid-fire Nickname Evaluations:
  From “Hillbilly Kobe” (Austin Reaves) to “Splash Mountain” (Brook Lopez):

  “Never heard.” (28:53, Stugotz on Splash Mountain)
  “I’ve heard that a lot. And it’s because…huge Disney fan.” (28:55, Chris)

• Plot Holes in Blockbusters:
  Discussion of flaws in The Dark Knight Rises:

  “How does he so easily get back into Gotham which is under Bane’s control…? It’s really weird.” (38:33, Stugotz)

---

Notable Quotes & LOL Moments

• “I'm sure Joe Flacco takes exception to all of this, being like, ‘Hey, just two years ago, I was comeback player of the year over a player who died on the field.’” (08:04, Mike Ryan)

• “If I wanted a poster, I'd go to Sunset Place…Not with grandpa.” (18:45, Mike Ryan)

• “Top five posters all time…Abbey Road, Einstein tongue out, Michael Jordan 'Wings', and Farrah Fawcett.” (approximately 15:10–17:02, Mike Ryan/Chris)

• “Guys being dudes, this is what a podcast is.” (34:21, Mike Ryan)

Transcript

[Mike Ryan]

You say you'll never join the Navy, that living on a submarine would be too hard. You'd never power a whole ship with nuclear energy, never bring a patient back to life.

[Stugats]

Or play the national anthem.

[Mike Ryan]

For a sold out crowd.

[Chris]

Joining the Navy sounds crazy.

[Mike Ryan]

Saying never actually is. Start your [e-mail] America's Navy, forged by the sea.

[Chris]

You say you'll never join the Navy, never climb Mount Fuji on a port.

[Stugats]

Visit or break the sound barrier.

[Chris]

Joining the Navy sounds crazy. Saying never actually is. Learn [e-mail] America's Navy forged by the sea.

[Mike Ryan]

This is the Dan Levator show with the Stugats podcast.

[Chris]

I hate cowards. You want to talk trash? You want to talk mess? Talk mess and own it. I hate cowards.

[Stugats]

You someone in particular, you're thinking?

[Chris]

Yeah, I'm thinking of someone in particular.

[Stugats]

Are they in this room?

[Chris]

No, they're not in this room. We don't have cow. We don't employ cowards around here. Okay, very good talking. But Dylan, Dylan Gabriel.

[Dylan]

You don't believe him?

[Chris]

I don't believe him. So if you don't know Dylan Gabriel, he started for the Browns this weekend. He played all right, I guess a.

[Mike Ryan]

Couple turnovers afterwards, I mean, pick six afterwards. Losing the ball's bad.

[Chris]

He says there are entertainers and there are competitors. My job is to compete.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, you can read into that, right? Yeah, let's read into that.

[Tony]

I mean, he sure didn't entertain. We know that.

[Mike Ryan]

Mina said that his first drive looked good and then I tuned in and I saw the other drives and they did not look good. But, you know, at least he has all the size that you want at the position.

[Chris]

My thing is this, man. It's all right. You're in a battle for who's going to get this spot. You're in a battle with another rookie. That guy brings a lot of pizazz to the table. You're trying to position yourself as. I'm the steak and potatoes and this guy is just all flash. Right.

[Mike Ryan]

We all know that Flacco's starting, right? This is not.

[Stugats]

Yeah, no, but none of them are competing to start week one. They're competing to start like week six.

[Chris]

For the future of this franchise.

[Mike Ryan]

But it's constantly being discussed on debate shows as if Shador Sanders or even Dylan Gabriel, much less so Kenny Pickett as anybody else, has a chance to start Week 1 for the Cleveland Browns.

[Stugats]

You know what?

[Mike Ryan]

It's going to be Joe Flago.

[Stugats]

You're right about that. You're right. Because when else has it ever been? When else have we ever paid attention to the backup quarterback competition?

[Chris]

Quinn, yours is Zach Wilson. What are you talking about?

[Stugats]

We're paying attention.

[Mike Ryan]

Local.

[Chris]

Yeah. No.

[Stugats]

No one else.

[Chris]

This is a national shots. We were tastemakers.

[Mike Ryan]

Not as sexy when you position it that way, but in league circles, they're all talking like, this was always a plan. If it doesn't matter, it literally doesn't matter what Chador does. Joe Flacco is starting week one.

[Chris]

Sure. But we all know that this is for. Again, both of these guys were highly touted prospects despite where Shador was drafted. Right. So this is, in essence, for the soul and the future of the Cleveland Browns. Well, you're not arguing for week one. We're arguing for who's going to be the franchise quarterback one day.

[Stugats]

Right. But if Shedeur. If the Browns spent their third round pick on Dylan Gabriel and they never came back and selected Shadur Sanders, no one would be paying any attention.

[Chris]

Of course not.

[Stugats]

To what Dylan Gabriel is doing.

[Chris]

Of course not. But Dylan Gabriel would feel like, this is my team. I'm not going to start in week one, but I'm. Eventually the keys are going to get handed to me and maybe it happens next year. Maybe it happens like you guys said in week six.

[Tony]

The other thing, too is they're probably assessing, all right, this next quarterback class is going to be really good in 26, coming out of college. Like, are we going to. Are we going to try to take.

[Zaz]

Another quarterback they can't get, but they can, right?

[Tony]

If Gabriel's not good, if Shador is not good, if they have Flacco, they.

[Zaz]

Have Snoop also, they signed, and they.

[Tony]

Also have, you know, the one who should not be named. So we've got seven quarterbacks trying to vie for face of the franchise. Joe Flacco is too old. He's going to be gone. Kenny Pickett is a journeyman at this point. He's not good. So you've got these two guys and it's like, all right, if they're not good this year, next year, if the Browns are going to be bad, which I think they will, they're going to have a good spot to get a good quarterback next year.

[Dylan]

We were talking at the beginning about the comment, though, like, was that a shot at Shador? Dylan Gabriel claims he's been saying this. He said it at college. Like, it's just one of his sayings. That's his sayings that the media's, you know, the entertainers, and we're competing. So, like, I don't know, I kind.

[Chris]

Of believe that, like, we're supposed to know Dylan Gabriel lore, but it's just.

[Dylan]

Like, no, but you're taking it and just assuming it's a shot. And he clarified. I'm just. I'm passing along his notes.

[Mike Ryan]

Chris, this ain't exactly Waylon Yutani.

[Dylan]

Look, if I'm just pointing out you said it seems like a shot and he's saying it wasn't, but are we.

[Mike Ryan]

Taking his word for it? Is this documented?

[Dylan]

And I am looking for. I don't see the old quote.

[Mike Ryan]

And originally, if he did say it earlier, that was a shot at someone else, right?

[Chris]

Like, you don't say shit. Like. And it's not at the media.

[Dylan]

That's what he's saying. It is.

[Chris]

That's what I'm saying. Like, if it's the media, you would say something like, look, media's job is to entertain. Our job is to compete. He didn't say that.

[Dylan]

I mean, when he was asked to follow up, he did say that exact thing.

[Stugats]

But why? When did he feel the need to differentiate between the media and the players, that that one are entertainers and the other. Because do some people think that the media are competitors?

[Dylan]

Well, no, I think the narrative got out there that that was a shot at chadur. And he's like, I want to clarify.

[Stugats]

The media, but that's back to what I'm originally asking. Like, does he feel the need to make sure that everybody knows that the media are not competitors, that we are competitors? What does that even mean?

[Chris]

It comes. It comes from the quarterback school of obvious shit.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, this is where the media is at fault. We all know it's our fault now. No, this is where the media is at fault in that everyone in this room seems to understand the game. It's being presented on TV like this is a quarterback battle because it's not as interesting to talk about who's going to be third string on the depth chart or what have you. Right? So they feed into this narrative where all these guys are competing and trying to drive wedges and people are picking their favorite in a bad faith gambit that all these guys actually have a chance to start off the bat when it's going to be Joe Flacco.

[Chris]

No, but, Mike, Mike, I'm gonna push back on you this way. Do you think Joe Flacco is gonna start 17 games, barring injury? Barring injury.

[Mike Ryan]

No, no, no, no, no. No one believes that. No one that's paid attention to the Cleveland Browns lore for the last 40 years knows exactly how this is gonna go. But also, I think that all too often, media gets lumped in with what's atop the food chain, talking about the first take that unfairly trickles down to all the beat writers. And beat writers are literally incentivized to find these storylines and keep you engaged.

[Stugats]

I mean, their eyes lit up with that quote.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, well, that's on Dylan Gabriel.

[Chris]

It's on Dylan.

[Mike Ryan]

That's a data point, my friend.

[Chris]

My thing is, this is normally, you're right. Where people assign the media to what Stephen A. And company are talking about. Like, that's not the media. That's one show, right?

[Stugats]

He represents us.

[Chris]

He doesn't represent all of us. He represents himself. He represents his show and what he does. And that doesn't. Should not be how. Which is what athletes do. They perceive. That's how all media, all beat writers, everyone's doing it.

[Mike Ryan]

They also do this with just random Twitter accounts they say, they say quickly becomes the media.

[Chris]

Right? Cuz social media equals media for some athletes. Right? But in this case, in this particular case, this isn't a concoction because none of us expect Joe Flacco to be starting 17 games, barring injury, right? We all expect at some point, Joe, give me the ball. And we're going to send in the lefty or whatever, right?

[Mike Ryan]

Be it ineffectiveness or, hey, we just got to eval these guys. No one really expects their season to be good. I'm sure Joe Flacco takes exception to all of this being like, hey, just two years ago, I was comeback player of the year over a player who died on the field.

[Stugats]

You think he takes exception?

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, he took this team to the playoffs.

[Stugats]

He knows the drill.

[Dylan]

I feel like even him at this point, he's like, I'm Joe Flacker.

[Mike Ryan]

He beat a guy who died for comeback player of the year.

[Chris]

That's pretty impressive.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm sure he's got an ego about it. He's a Super bowl champion.

[Chris]

That's just. That's almost as impressive as Tony's worst day of his life.

[Mike Ryan]

And I'm sure, yes, maybe there's part of it, like, well, you did that two years ago, but now you're. You're older. Can you do it again? He's looking around like, I'm literally the only guy in this uniform outside of Baker Mayfield that you've had proof of concept over in the last 25 years.

[Chris]

Hold on, hold on. Jameis did Snow Angels.

[Mike Ryan]

He didn't get to the playoffs.

[Chris]

Big game.

[Mike Ryan]

That was a game. Joe Flacco got to the playoffs. Joe Flacco got to the playoffs and was comeback player of the year. Joe Flacco was at times really good for that franchise. When they were desperate and happy that Watson got hurt and they pushed Joe Flacco out to appease Watson.

[Chris]

Right.

[Mike Ryan]

Something that they should have never done.

[Chris]

I'm not doubting Joe Flacco's effectiveness. I'm just saying we're all saying, I think Mike, he's got to look around and know the deal. Like he sees what they didn't draft. They didn't draft two quarterbacks because they thought you're so awesome and this job is yours forever. You are here basically keeping the seat warm for whoever the heir apparent is gonna be.

[Mike Ryan]

Right. But he's gonna have the ego, like, good luck getting this job. I'm not gonna let you have it.

[Chris]

You have to rip it from me. Absolutely. But it's gonna get ripped from him. And so to me, I don't think it's a. A disingenuous conversation to be like Gabriel versus Sanders. Who's going to win out even.

[Mike Ryan]

It should be framed that way.

[Chris]

Well, how's it being framed?

[Mike Ryan]

It's quarterback battle. Who's going to be starting for the Cleveland Browns?

[Stugats]

I don't think it's being framed that way. I think it's implied. I think everyone who talks about it knows that Flacco is the starter. Week number one. It's all about at some point in the middle of the season, probably before the middle of the season, because, yes, like Tony said, next year is supposed to be a very good quarterback class, which, by the way, this year was supposed to be a very good quarterback class. So it's hard to dark. It's hard to, you know, really predict the way that that's going to wind up going down. But they're going to have to see both of these guys at some point during the season, which means that it's only flat go for the first few weeks.

[Tony]

And the first few weeks are brutal. They play Bengals at Ravens, P. Packers, Lions, Vikings, Steelers and then Dolphins.

[Chris]

He's not making it out of that stretch.

[Stugats]

Yeah, like, it's perfect.

[Mike Ryan]

Brutal stretch.

[Chris]

He's not making out of that stretch.

[Stugats]

When I say it's perfect because they're gonna have a bad record, it's like, okay, great. Now we're going to the other guy.

[Dylan]

Thank you for including the Dolphins in that. That made me feel a little better.

[Tony]

Well, the Dolphins is like the winnable.

[Mike Ryan]

The first win.

[Dylan]

That's where you start Honestly, May just. I felt good there just being included.

[Mike Ryan]

Wait, do the Dolphins come after a buy? Because we're definitely getting a quarterback.

[Tony]

No, it's not. At Steelers, the next their bye week is I think later in the season.

[Mike Ryan]

How many over under three and a half. Cleveland Browns quarterbacks we see this season?

[Tony]

Three and a half.

[Dylan]

That's a lot.

[Chris]

Three and a half is a lot. A lot.

[Mike Ryan]

It's a lot.

[Chris]

Two and a half. I say over.

[Mike Ryan]

Two and a half, easy over.

[Stugats]

I'm going over. Three and a half.

[Chris]

Wow.

[Tony]

You're saying Flacco Pickett, Gabriel Sanders, and we're talk.

[Stugats]

Okay, always like starting or taking snaps.

[Mike Ryan]

They take the field.

[Stugats]

Okay, yeah, I'm going over.

[Mike Ryan]

Not counting Wildcat packages.

[Stugats]

No, I'm going over then over.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, okay. All right.

[Stugats]

If they said starting, I would have thought twice about it. But just taking snaps at any point in. Yeah, I'm going over.

[Zaz]

If they're thinking of taking another quarterback next year, what Zaz is saying is right. Like you need to give Shador and Dillon both chances. And even then when you're playing both of them, you're not going to get enough to decide if that's your franchise quarterback. Because they're not going to have a long enough leash to struggle and come.

[Chris]

Back unless one of them comes out the gates just blazing and then it's like, oh, it's his job now.

[Mike Ryan]

Very strange franchise that has no shit looked for an answer at quarterback. They had two guys that took them to the playoffs, one of them being a former number one overall pick, the other guy being a former super bowl champion, and they pushed them out the door. It's so bizarre.

[Chris]

It's because they're white.

[Mike Ryan]

Hey, it's Mike Ryan. Those sprinklers are starting to slowly come up on the football field. Time that we have with summer is dwindling. I'm sure they're already doing that thing where you're going through your photo album, flipping through the photos that you've taken this summer, already reminiscing about the good times that you have. I know I did. And in many of the pictures that I went back to reminisce over, I had a beautiful white can of Miller Light in my hand because I love making good times during the summer a Miller time. And it's a good reminder we're losing time on this summer. So why don't you share the moments that you have with a white can of Miller Lite like I have, whether it's a long weekend or a full on vacation it is the perfect time to get the crew back together. And since 1975, Miller Lite has been the go to way to stock the crew cooler and celebrate those moments. This year marks 50 years of Miller time. 50 years of great taste, great friends and unforgettable memories.

I didn't want to personalize it because Miami for sure. And I didn't think that this was, like. This is my sample.

[Chris]

It was worldwide, man. Every single college dorm had Scarface. Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone.

[Tony]

I'm searching for mine, by the way, Godfather.

[Chris]

Also the. The.

[Tony]

I have one of those.

[Chris]

The little puppet thing. Strings.

[Tony]

Oh, the Mandel marionette.

[Mike Ryan]

Marionette.

[Chris]

The marionette strings. That one. What are other. Like, I'm the movie posters. The heat. Heat was a big one.

[Mike Ryan]

Heat was a big one.

[Stugats]

I feel like Reservoir Dogs was a.

[Mike Ryan]

Big Reservoir Dogs walking film student. If you were a film student, you had that. You had Pulp Fiction.

[Chris]

Fiction. The Uma Thurman on the bed.

[Mike Ryan]

I would Usually go to the Blockbuster Video and say, hey, are you throwing away any movie posters?

[Stugats]

You would do that?

[Mike Ryan]

Dude, I had a dead president's poster.

[Chris]

Oh, that was a great one. I got that president was a great.

[Mike Ryan]

Batman Forever poster in my wall. I had so many posters. I can do posters in my room. Another top five.

[Chris]

Go ahead.

[Tony]

Where are they, Mike? Where are they?

[Mike Ryan]

I lost every single one of those. We were bankrupt after a while. Oh, Blockbuster. Family.

[Dylan]

As a family.

[Tony]

There's a whole Blockbuster too.

[Mike Ryan]

Moving. My grandpa.

[Chris]

Your grandpa didn't believe in posters.

[Mike Ryan]

My grandfather was like big into the. The tribulation and the rapture. So that.

[Stugats]

What if you just.

[Chris]

I just like the idea of you, like, moving in like, hey, grandpa. And then you start putting up your photo.

[Stugats]

Yeah, what if you just start putting them up?

[Chris]

This is the devil's work. This is El Diablo, and he just ripped it up in your poster.

[Mike Ryan]

If I wanted a poster, I'd go to Sunset Place, Virgin Megastore, and I would just say, man, that would look good on wall someday. Not with grandpa. All right, let me get to work on this topic. But I'm curious at the posters that you guys all had growing up.

[Chris]

Man, I don't think I had posters, to be honest with you, man. I had. I didn't like, definitely not growing up. I didn't have posters when I went to college. Then it turned into like, I was getting like pictures, like, but big poster sized photographs of like John Starks dunking on.

[Zaz]

So, like posters.

[Chris]

No, they were, they were actually photographs, though.

[Zaz]

They were poster sized photographs.

[Chris]

Yes.

[Tony]

Posters.

[Chris]

No, posters are different. Posters, you roll it up. You can't roll up.

[Zaz]

But why did you. Why would you pay for poster size photographs? That seems expensive.

[Chris]

I was getting them signed. This is when I was working for the Hawks. So, like, I would, I would get these things signed. And there's a guy that I knew, he collected memorabilia. He said, I will send you two of everything and you get to keep one. And so that was a deal. And I was so. I was getting so John Starks dunking on. On Horace Grant and Michael Jordan. That one. I had that signed. Alan Houston hitting the shot again, man. Yeah, yeah, I get that.

[Zaz]

You shouldn't be doing it.

[Chris]

Team employee behind. Yeah, I was like a part time employee at the time. It didn't matter.

[Stugats]

What's the matter with you, dog?

[Chris]

Man, I'm telling you, it was behind. It was behind the shot. You saw the shot clock and you see his, his release and everyone's just.

[Stugats]

Yeah, everyone knows, man, it's a great shot.

[Chris]

It's a great shot.

[Zaz]

What'd you do with the poster pictures?

[Chris]

Oh, man, they got stolen.

[Zaz]

Stolen by who?

[Chris]

I don't know.

[Tony]

Oh, I sold the phone cards to.

[Chris]

Oh, the phone cards. Don't get me started on that. That's my scheme. You run.

[Zaz]

So, like, broke into your house and all of a sudden, like, what's missing?

[Chris]

Like, my post. The dorms. The dorm. I. I was moving out for the summer, and so I had my stuff in a box and I had a bunch of stuff in there. A bunch of stuff. It was the pictures. It was. It was some jerseys. It was like a warm up. All that got stolen, bro. Devastating.

[Mike Ryan]

All right, here are the posters that I can remember that I had growing up. Hulk Hogan.

[Stugats]

Yep.

[Chris]

What's the. Do you know the pose?

[Mike Ryan]

He was in front of a blue background, and it was just him.

[Stugats]

Like, I think I had the same one.

[Chris]

This is the wwf, right?

[Mike Ryan]

Then I had a Sting poster. Wcw, okay. Not. Not the police Sting.

[Chris]

Okay?

[Mike Ryan]

I was like, not Fields. A gold Sting. No, it was just his standing in front of, like, a Sears backdrop. White tights, Batman Forever.

[Chris]

You know what's crazy? I was thinking about this literally yesterday because some commercial had Seal Kiss from a Rose in it.

[Stugats]

What a song.

[Chris]

And I was thinking to myself, man, that song is so ubiquitous, people don't even remember that was a Batman song. Yep, that was a Batman song.

[Mike Ryan]

Dead Presidents.

[Chris]

Went to see the movie off the poster alone.

[Mike Ryan]

It was a great poster.

[Chris]

Great poster. The white makeup, white makeup, the lighting.

[Mike Ryan]

Chris Tucker's in this incredible. Look down. Kathy Ireland.

[Chris]

Really? The one in the swimsuit?

[Mike Ryan]

Yep. Really?

[Stugats]

Now, are these all up at the same time?

[Mike Ryan]

No. This is over the course of, like, eight years or so.

[Chris]

You had a Cathy. No wonder your grandpa flipped out.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. Christina Aguilera.

[Chris]

Uh, Genie in a Bottle.

[Mike Ryan]

It was like a part of that.

[Chris]

Album shoot because it was in the desert, right? And it was like low light, just.

[Mike Ryan]

Kind of casually, like, leaning on the side of a doorway.

[Chris]

You know the one I'm talking about where it's like, in a desert and it's like low light. It's like maybe like dusk.

[Mike Ryan]

Let me take that one for a walk. I randomly had a Drew Bledsoe one.

[Chris]

Drew Bledsoe, Patriots.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm trying. There was. Yeah, there was a Patriots, and there was like, a nickname of sorts.

[Chris]

Drew bled so much that he needed a transfusion. Who remembers that? No one remembers that. There was. Hold on, before we go on. So there was a. This is SportsCenter commercial where they were, like, training people to be SportsCenter anchors. And Boomer's like, all right, what's Drew Bledsoe's nickname? The guy raised his hands like Drew Bledsoe much that he needed a transfusion. And the guy's like, trick question. There is no nickname for Drew Bledsoe.

[Mike Ryan]

It was Drew Bledsoe in front of an American flag. It said, Drew Bledsoe, Patriot Games Electric.

[Tony]

That's a poster book fair poster if.

[Chris]

I ever heard of it.

[Zaz]

Yeah, it's a scholastics poster. Those are good. Those are like cardstock.

[Chris]

But to take the name of a popular movie that had been released a few years earlier and apply it to a sports situation. Let me tell you something. I remember there was one. Who was it? It was someone from Cincinnati, like the Hunt for Red October. And I was like, that's a Andy Dalton. That's a dope nickname.

[Zaz]

Jeff October.

[Mike Ryan]

I had the Dan the Man Marino poster.

[Stugats]

Oh, nice, nice. Seeing the Zubas.

[Mike Ryan]

Ooh, the quarterback Club. I may have had that Quarterback club one. Man, that's such a huge part of my childhood. Maybe I had that, but I don't remember it specifically or vividly. Fight Club. That one's still around. This is the movie poster. I randomly had an Indianapolis Colts poster just because I wanted something to fill out my room. And I eventually, in fact, I can take it out of the frame. I just put the Fight Club poster over that because I wanted it.

[Chris]

Oh, the soap. The soap.

[Mike Ryan]

Soap. And then, like, the. The shitting grin that Brad Pitt had.

[Stugats]

And Fight Club was the first ever DVD I bought.

[Chris]

Really? Mine was Long Kiss Goodnight.

[Stugats]

Oh, five. Good movie.

[Mike Ryan]

That's a holiday movie.

[Chris]

Great. And a great rewatch ability.

[Mike Ryan]

Great movie. And, oh, I'm not a Rennie Harland guy. I don't like that guy.

[Chris]

Really?

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, because of Die Hard 2. Exactly. You got to forgive him for that. I can't. It was good enough. Almost destroyed everything. And finally, Eminem, there was one with him. Microphone, like, in his mouth, and he was like. Like that.

[Chris]

You know, you could have just grabbed the microphone. Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

As opposed to like that.

[Chris]

The microphone was like this. You guys, I'm. I'm trying to find current NBA nicknames, and it's. Man, it's tough.

[Dylan]

It's like when you said active.

[Chris]

It's just Yannis, Alex Caruso, the Bald Mamba.

[Tony]

No, but we don't call him that. We call him that. Like, on this side. Like, NBA people don't call him that.

[Chris]

Yeah, that's true. Austin reeves, Hillbilly Kobe, DeMar DeRozan, Deebo. They do call him Debo.

[Stugats]

You know about Debo?

[Mike Ryan]

I guess Joker really doesn't joke.

[Chris]

Yeah, but I don't like Joker. Tarantula Durantula.

[Tony]

Again, we don't call him that. We call him kd.

[Dylan]

Splash Brothers.

[Chris]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, they're not together anymore, so you can dame time, Anthony. Dame time is a good one. Dame time's good, but it's more about the moment than it is King James. We don't call him dame time. Like in the second quarter.

[Mike Ryan]

McBob.

[Chris]

Oh, who remembers him? Josh can't forget Ant man for Anthony Edwards. Yeah, I feel very underwhelmed right here. Feel very underwhelmed.

[Tony]

Like we're not making the big tickets anymore.

[Chris]

I know. Big tickets.

[Dylan]

The process.

[Mike Ryan]

Big tickets.

[Chris]

Big tickets are good.

[Dylan]

Joel is Joel Embiid.

[Tony]

The process is over, buddy.

[Chris]

Do call. But like. Yeah, I mean, yeah, look when he was doing well. People really like to tout that one. I'll give him. I'll give him that.

[Mike Ryan]

Jimmy Buckets slash Playoff Jimmy.

[Dylan]

That's a good one.

[Chris]

I don't like either of those. Like. Like, here's why. Playoff Jimmy. Super un. Unimaginative Jimmy Buckets wouldn't be bad except for the fact that it's become parlance for anyone who gets Buckets to be called, like, Michael Buckets and Jacob Buckets and everyone, the Buckets now.

[Mike Ryan]

So Scary Terry.

[Chris]

Scary Terry's a great one.

[Mike Ryan]

Cat that's scary. Cat is one that people use all the time.

[Chris]

Yeah. Cat is one that people use.

[Mike Ryan]

And the brow.

[Chris]

The brow is one that people use. They're not cool, though. Playoff Scary Terry is. That's a great nickname.

[Tony]

Like, if he was really good.

[Chris]

Oh, my God.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Oh, if he was, like, not even really. Like, if he was just a defensive pest like he was when he was in Boston.

[Tony]

Scary Terry has a mask.

[Chris]

Oh, yeah. Show up to the game in a mask. Yeah. Kevin Herder. Red Velvet.

[Tony]

Not bad, but nobody's ever heard of that.

[Chris]

Yeah. So, Don LeBatard.

[Stugats]

I saw a post on Twitter yesterday. How the Toronto Maple Leafs.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Stugats]

That they won the division. Guess what? It's been two years, and that's two years too long. Stugats could take that ass, too.

[Chris]

We're taking two asses.

[Mike Ryan]

This is the Dan Levatar Show. Show with the St.

[Chris]

Kyrie Irving. Uncle Drew. No one really calls him.

[Stugats]

No one calls him that.

[Chris]

Tough man. Tough, tough, tough. Isaiah Joe. Stroking Joe.

[Mike Ryan]

God, that's crazy.

[Chris]

That is crazy.

[Mike Ryan]

I just wanted to say Breaking NFL news.

[Chris]

Well, you got.

[Mike Ryan]

Former Miami Dolphins corner Xavian Howard has signed with Miami's Week 1 opponent, the Indianapolis Colts.

[Chris]

Okay, is he coming in with all the info? This is what they like. This is.

[Tony]

He's coming and saying they got no corners, so go deep.

[Chris]

I know. I was there.

[Stugats]

So what would a team have seen from him now that they didn't see last year? He went the whole year without playing.

[Mike Ryan]

Him being healthier.

[Chris]

All right, Connect Four. Dalton Connect. That's a good one. That's a good.

[Dylan]

I mean, I didn't know who you were talking about. I thought you were like, why is he talking about a board game?

[Chris]

Home Connect 4. Yeah, Dalton Connect. And he wears number four.

[Zaz]

It says Trae Young's nickname is Ice Trey.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Yeah. That's a legitimate nickname. It's probably one of the better ones that we've got going on right now. The Claw for Kawhi Leonard.

[Stugats]

The what? The Claw.

[Tony]

Yeah, we just call him Kawhi.

[Chris]

Jonathan Kaminga. Should I say his nickname?

[Mike Ryan]

Sure.

[Chris]

CB well, no, it's not. It's. It's a bucket of some sorts.

[Dylan]

KB I'm going to go with no if you're that nervous about it.

[Zaz]

Not nervous, but just especially Jonathan Buckets.

[Mike Ryan]

Knowing where your line is.

[Chris]

Brook Lopez, Splash Mountain.

[Stugats]

Never heard.

[Mike Ryan]

I never heard that.

[Chris]

I've heard that a lot. And it's because not only is he. Is he big and he hits threes, but huge Disney fan.

[Tony]

Disney adult.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Loves Disney.

[Mike Ryan]

Did anybody else have posters growing up?

[Stugats]

I mean, I did. Like I said, they were all those music posters. And I had wrestling posters before that.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, just one wrestling poster.

[Stugats]

No, no. I had Hulk Hogan. The Hulk Rules. One that you just talked about. Yes, for sure. I also had an Ultimate Warrior poster. And I had Demolition.

[Chris]

Demolition Man.

[Mike Ryan]

Demolition Man.

[Stugats]

No accent smash. Wrong with you.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, sorry.

[Chris]

You really was like. You was about that life, huh?

[Dylan]

Not what.

[Stugats]

Yeah, man, when I was, like, 8, 9, 10 years old at all, wrestling.

[Dylan]

Posters just went to SummerSlam.

[Mike Ryan]

SummerSlam 2.

[Chris]

I know, but, like, it's different when it's like you're surrounding yourself with, like, the idea that. Look, he loves sports.

[Stugats]

He's always wwe. Have the magazine in the mail every night.

[Zaz]

Did you ever want to be a wrestler? And when did you know? Never a manager.

[Stugats]

I knew I wasn't going to be big enough.

[Zaz]

I mean, did you want to be a manager?

[Chris]

No.

[Zaz]

See yourself. Like, I could be Jimmy Hart.

[Chris]

No.

[Zaz]

Or I could be mean Gene Okerland.

[Stugats]

I was about it, man. I loved it. It was my love growing up.

[Mike Ryan]

Dude, the poster for Demolition Man. This is.

[Chris]

I'm telling you, man.

[Mike Ryan]

You have John Spartan and Simon Phoenix facing off. Stallone over John Spartan. Snipes over Simon Phoenix. Subtext below Stallone's tagline. Wait, wait, wait. We're getting there. This has a lot of stuff.

[Tony]

I've never seen this movie.

[Mike Ryan]

This is electric.

[Tony]

I've never seen Demolition Man.

[Mike Ryan]

All right, so it sets up your face off. And it's got the 21st century's most dangerous cop.

[Tony]

I'm in.

[Mike Ryan]

Then under snipes, the 21st century's most ruthless criminal double in Demolition Man. And then below that, the future isn't big enough for the both of them.

[Chris]

Oh, my God.

[Mike Ryan]

Are you kidding me?

[Chris]

Tony three, she sells. I know a lot of people listen to the show. Like, here they go. They're talking about these old ass movies. I am telling y' all right now. I guarantee, guarantee thorough entertainment if you watch this movie. Wow.

[Mike Ryan]

[Dylan]

Strictly in the United States, this.

[Chris]

Strictly in the United States. This movie is electric. Right. And by the way, and by the way, not for nothing, guess what kind of prophetic wow. Yeah. And the prophetic.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. Taco Bell.

[Chris]

Taco Bell is everywhere, Number one. Number two, people getting fined for saying the wrong things. You are, Mike. Used to do this really well.

[Stugats]

Forget three shells, three seashells, Greatest mystery in cinematic history.

[Chris]

Absolutely. Still trying to figure it out. Of course, Mike. I just cursed in the future what happens.

[Mike Ryan]

John Spartan, you've been fined one credit for.

[Chris]

There you go, man.

[Tony]

Well, that's close to that, actually.

[Dylan]

I've heard that reference before, Right?

[Chris]

Yeah, that then. And then also Caveman. The VR. They got the VR in there.

[Mike Ryan]

That did not look like good sex.

[Chris]

It didn't.

[Stugats]

But it's VR and it's a really young Sandra Bullock. She was so cute.

[Chris]

She still is.

[Stugats]

Yes, she still is.

[Chris]

Yeah. I love Sandra. I love Sandra Bullock.

[Mike Ryan]

Stan Cortez, I think, plays two roles in this. Really, really stretches it. Yeah. Dan Cortez. Yeah, I think he's. Is he the singer? Is he the lounge singer? Garden in the Valley. Valley in the Garden.

[Stugats]

I'll tell you. I mean, two kinds of movies. I'll watch all of them. I love time travel movies. And this. I mean, does this count as time travel?

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Stugats]

Futuristic. It's.

[Chris]

Well, they were cryostasis, so it is kind of time travel.

[Stugats]

Okay. I'll watch any time travel movie. And I'll watch any prison movie. I love time travel. I love prison. I don't want to go to prison because I would be holding somebody's pocket. It would go terribly for me.

[Mike Ryan]

This is a perfect film because it. It's kind of both.

[Chris]

Yeah. There's prison in the future.

[Stugats]

Yeah.

[Dylan]

You like Time Cop? That's like combo.

[Stugats]

Love time.

[Chris]

Dude. Time great. And also Time Cop. I think I could do it better. Hollywood, give me a budget. You guys love existing ip. Give me a budget. Time Cop. Should have been him. Most of it should have been him. Trying to solve the mystery, going through time, trying to find these. These crimes that he was doing. Remember, he went back to, like, the stock market, and then he went back to, like, the civil. Civil War and all that stuff.

[Stugats]

That's how the congressman was raised.

[Chris]

Was raising the money.

[Stugats]

President. Right.

[Chris]

That's how they should have done it. Instead they like. They kind of like yada, yada. That partner got right into the conspiracy.

[Stugats]

And he had Mia Serra. I mean, he hadn't seen her since Ferris Bueller.

[Chris]

That's right. That's right. Man, I forgot about that. Have you Escape Plan.

[Zaz]

How many. How long did you go before you like this?

[Chris]

When they kept trying to break out of prisons, I was like, come on, man.

[Stugats]

No, I lasted the whole time. But really, granted, the first few seasons are the best.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, they did. Didn't they try to run it back and reboot the series several years later?

[Stugats]

They did. Where Michael Schofield came back. He was alive.

[Zaz]

Yeah.

[Stugats]

What? How's he alive?

[Chris]

You like that?

[Stugats]

That they bring him back?

Yeah, come on.

[Chris]

Steve Martin.

[Mike Ryan]

You said. Well, you know, he said that. Very top of the line. We've established that's the best prison movies. We don't even count it. The warden was in Demolition Man.

[Stugats]

Really?

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. Caveman, caveman.

[Chris]

Blood in, blood out. Prison movie.

[Stugats]

Yep.

[Chris]

I like how I'm like, I'm testing, like, Zaz, do you approve of this?

[Stugats]

I can confirm.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Zaz]

Ernest Goes to jail.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, yeah, That's a good one.

[Tony]

How many places did he go, man?

[Mike Ryan]

Ernest. He went to jail. He went to camp. He was scared. Stupid.

[Stugats]

He was scared. So stupid.

[Chris]

Oh, I got one for Zaz. I know Zaz is gonna love this one. Law Abiding Citizen.

[Mike Ryan]

Great.

[Stugats]

Oh, that's a good movie.

[Chris]

Butler.

[Stugats]

Good movie.

[Chris]

He goes to the court, and then he actually argues for his freedom and he wins. And then. And then he goes off on the judge for letting him go. Like, he calls her all types of names. Not gonna get into it.

[Tony]

Shutter Island. Prison movie.

[Stugats]

No, it's mental.

[Chris]

Mental institution.

[Stugats]

Yeah.

[Tony]

Different prison of his own mind.

[Stugats]

No, no, you're getting too complicated here.

[Chris]

Life.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, life is excellent.

[Stugats]

Life's an excellent movie. Do I consider that a prison movie? I mean, I guess it is, but it's a comedy. You know, you had to escape.

[Mike Ryan]

Cuckoo's Nest is not a prison movie.

[Stugats]

No.

[Mike Ryan]

Mental institution.

[Chris]

Dark Knight.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Or is it Dark Knight Rises? Which one is he in? He's got a.

[Stugats]

In Dark Knight Rises, he's in the pit.

[Mike Ryan]

I really understood that. Broken back. Did they fly him out there? Where was it so strange?

[Stugats]

Because then when he breaks out of the. Of the, you know, prison, how does he so easily get back into Gotham, which is under Bane's control? And they're not letting you cross the bridge. It's really weird.

[Chris]

That is true.

[Stugats]

It's a plot hole.

[Chris]

That's a plot hole.

[Mike Ryan]

What were the art direction here is all orange and dusty. All right, how does. Where is this?

[Chris]

Just the world right outside of Gotham. You go a couple miles, they may have been in Gotham.

[Stugats]

I mean, how do you get back into Gotham?

[Tony]

How do you get out of the desert? Once he got out of the hole, there's nobody there.

[Chris]

Right.

[Mike Ryan]

So much exposition needed here.

[Tony]

But broken back Boy fixed it, remember? Because he climbed up the thing.

[Mike Ryan]

Look, Nolan was dealt a bad hand. Clearly the Joker was supposed to be a huge part of this story. Yeah, I think he did the best.

[Stugats]

He could, honest to God. I watched Dark Knight yesterday. Movie's so good. Yeah, Heath Ledger, good performance.

[Mike Ryan]

Yes.

[Dylan]

Anytime I watch a good movie, I feel like I've won the lottery. And just so you know, we're actually teaming up with Jackpocket. America's America's number one lottery app. Play Powerball, mega millions, even scratch offs.

[Chris]

Dark Knight Rises better than Dark Knight.

[Stugats]

Okay, that's just asinine, just incorrect. Now we're just saying things that are wrong.

[Chris]

I like Dark Knight Rises better. I think it's better subjective. I like Bane better than than Joker.

[Mike Ryan]

Hey guys, do Haywood Highsmiths grow on trees?

[Chris]

Yes, they do. We'll get into that once the live hours over right here on the Dan Levittar show with Stugots.

[Mike Ryan]
