Eligibility vary by state. This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats podcast.

[Stugatz]

God bless football. Please support the things that Stugatz and Billy are doing. I want to put a few things in front of Zaslow, who is a judge, a journalist, a lawyer, a race war expert and a doctor. Right now I'd like to speak to the judge, if that's okay. You have. You have something that you have to go to. You need a costume. Okay, you have.

[Dan LeBatard]

All rise. The honorable Jonathan Zaslow now presiding with prejudice.

[Stugatz]

All right, so we have imaging here on. On a prejudice Judge John Zaslow. Does anyone call you John?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

It's weird that you decided to call me.

[Dan LeBatard]

I see there. He's got to switch headphones.

[Stugatz]

Yeah, switch headphones because he's got a. He's got judge. Okay. He's got a thing he's got to put on his head. Okay. Because he is Judge Dredd. What year was that movie rise? The honorable Jonathan Zaslow now presiding with prejudice. What. What. What movie? What year is Judge Dredd? A Sylvester Stallone movie.

[Dan LeBatard]

1995. The year I was.

[Stugatz]

Okay. Very good.

[Chris Cody]

Was he ever a Johnny? We ever Johnny as a kid?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Nope.

[Chris Cody]

Really? Never?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Nope. Nice try.

[Chris Cody]

Why not? Wait. Nice try. It's not a trick. It's just a question.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Nice try.

[Stugatz]

Is Mike Ryan allowed to root for Florida Panther Brad Marchand next year?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Okay, so Brad Marchand signed a six year deal. Great day for the Panthers. Great day for the Panther fan. But Mike Ryan has been saying that Marchand is dead to him. He doesn't even want him on the team. And now apparently Mike Ryan said he's okay with it. Is that what happened?

[Stugatz]

It seems like he's okay with it. You're not really answering the question you're asking.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I'm trying to gather evidence, more information.

[Stugatz]

Okay, so he. Yes, he's back. He's on the bandwagon. He's back on the bandwagon, and he wants back on to enjoy Brad Marchand's career.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

All right, so again, what's the charge?

[Stugatz]

Is Mike Ryan allowed to root for Brad Marchand next year?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Mike Ryan is allowed to root for Brad Marchand. There's no timetable on how long it takes for you to come around on a player. It didn't take him that long. I'm willing to look past it. He is allowed to root for Brad Marchand now. He is. I rule always prejudice.

[Stugatz]

Is Greg Cody allowed to roll up or leave a funeral playing Beach Boys music too loudly in his car?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Greg Cody claims that this was a bonding point between him and the deceased. It's very rare that someone would pull up to a funeral with not only music blasting from the car, but Beach Boys surfing USA blasting from the car. Can you tell me again what the charge is?

[Stugatz]

The charge is, is Greg Cody allowed to leave or go to a funeral playing Beach Boys too loud in his car?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Okay, I know what the charge is, and he is guilty. He is not allowed to do that. It's disrespectful to the deceased to pull up with music blasting. And then you claim that this was a bonding point. Very disrespectful. Whip prejudice.

[Dan LeBatard]

It'd be like if I was jamming to Pearl Jam. If you passed. That's not allowed. Like, why can't I. I would want to celebrate you.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

It depends. Does everybody know that this was a place?

[Stugatz]

It depends because.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Of course it depends because. Did anybody know that Greg Cody and the deceased. That this was a bonding point?

[Stugatz]

You.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Sounds like it's Greg's word against everybody. They know.

[Stugatz]

They didn't know. And then he informed them.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

No, no. You need. You need proof he's guilty.

[Billy]

Sometimes the way Zaslow enunciates words, it, like, rattles around inside my skull a little bit. Does that. Guys? Does that happen to you guys?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

What are you talking about?

[Stugatz]

Yeah, put it on the poll at Lebatard show. Does the way Zaslo pronounces words rattle around in your skull a little bit?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Not guilty.

[Chris Cody]

The. The timing on this and the way that this has played out is simply incredible, because there is a possibility that there's someone who is at home watching with two televisions, who on one television is watching Judge Zaslow and him telling us whether or not Greg Cody can play Beach Boys and Mike can be a Panthers fan. And on the other one, the jury verdict is in on the Diddy trial, which is a real trial.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I'm the judge there.

[Chris Cody]

Also, there's going. That will be read soon. So while one of the bigger trials in, you know, pop culture in our time is. Is being read, we are now levying verdicts on whether or not Greg Cody could play Beach Boys. While you're wearing a helmet, I thought.

[Stugatz]

You were going to say as one of the bigger verdicts is being rendered. We also wait for the Diddy verdict. I thought is what you were going to do there because this is the most important verdict. And I've got one more question for Zaz before I go to.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I'll allow it.

[Stugatz]

To Jessica. Thank you, Judge.

[Chris Cody]

Johnny.

[Stugatz]

A lot of people are still coming after me because I made the mistake immediately after the Stanley cup final of confusing Sam Rinehart and Sam Bennett. My excus that there are not that many great Sams in sports at Lebatard show. Put it up on the poll. Are there any great Sams? Can you be great at sports if your name is Sam? And who is the most famous of the Sams?

[Dan LeBatard]

Sammy Sosa would like a word.

[Stugatz]

Okay. That's tainted. What?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Whoa. What do you do?

[Stugatz]

Sammy Sosa is a bit tainted. And it's Sammy. Sammy is different. Like Fred and Freddie are different in terms of greatness. Ed and Eddie are different. The one syllable hurts people. If I throw a Y on it, Bill will tell you. Bill Gill will tell you. You need that. Why on the end, is it a forgivable mistake that I confused the two SAMs? Is the question for Judge Zaslow.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Sam Bennett won the Con Smythe, a very prestigious award. Sam Rinehart scored four goals in the Stanley cup clinching game. They both have the same first name.

[Stugatz]

Yet we covered all that.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Quiet in the court.

[Stugatz]

Your gavel.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Quiet in the court was quiet. Quiet in the court. I will throw you right out. Like I was saying, confusing Sam Bennett for Sam Reinhart is a disgrace.

[Stugatz]

Oh, no.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

And I rule with the most prejudice possible. It's unforgivable. Dan Levittoy.

[Stugatz]

Oh, no.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

On forgivable.

[Dan LeBatard]

Sam Bradford, Sam Cassell and Jessica's boy, Sam Hartman. Sam Presti.

[Stugatz]

Is the best of the Sam's. Sam Bradford.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Court adjourned.

[Dan LeBatard]

Seems like it.

[Stugatz]

I can't believe I didn't get to. Not a lot of hall of famers there. Sam Madison's a good one, but I mean, they're not a lot of Sam Snead.

[Billy]

Sam Us.

[Chris Cody]

Sam Morel.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Sam Malone.

[Stugatz]

Can you. Sam Malone is also a good one. We have not gotten to Red Panda getting hurt last night. Red Panda, for those of you who are not familiar, is a basketball I icon. This is as famous of entertainment as you will find anywhere in the Sports experience. Correct. If I ask you the most famous of the sports experience entertainers.

[Chris Cody]

Ah.

[Stugatz]

That never happens to Red Panda. How hurt was she?

[Billy]

Well, apparently, according to Ben Pickman from the Athletic, former co worker of mine actually from Sports Illustrated, she was wheeled off in a wheelchair and was seen leaving in an ambulance. And it appeared that she may have hurt her wrist, which, I mean, you can see there, she's waving and you know, is walking off under her own accord. But really sad. Kind of put a damper on the whole evening. Obviously everyone was talking about this as being the big injury from the Fever Links game in the Commissioner's Cup.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Red Panda wheelchair for a wrist.

[Stugatz]

It was.

[Billy]

See the joke. The joke is that Caitlin Clark was also out. But you guys don't really watch the.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Wnba, so I, I was wondering, someone at home.

[Billy]

Got it.

[Stugatz]

I was wondering what your thoughts were on Mike Ryan yesterday. Had a lot of thoughts about whether or not he's allowed to. Ha.

[Billy]

I agree.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Mike Ryan was absolutely correct.

[Billy]

All these soft women say you can't make fun of female athletes anymore. He's absolutely right to hate on an athlete that already gets a disproportionate amount of hate without even watching her games. He's absolutely right.

[Tony]

He said irrational. Do people not get that? Irrationally it means no ration.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Tony, I love your work.

[Billy]

Absolutely.

[Chris Cody]

Thank you.

[Tony]

Misologies Vein. Somebody finally said that.

[Stugatz]

I mean, I, I do enjoy the idea of I'm allowed to hate. Right. As long as it's irrational. I'm saying it's irrational. So allow me to hate the qualifiers there irrationally. So just allow me to hate. Just.

[Billy]

I'll just say this. It was a bad look for Mike yesterday and I am just referring to the mustache. Yeah, okay. We don't even have to go further than that.

[Stugatz]

We really don't. It is a terrible mustache. Can you guys get me some of the information on Bezos's wedding that people are protesting in vi? Because I know that the wealth disparity right now throughout the globe is something that a lot of people are now paying attention to. And Bezos is doing something so grotesquely opulent around his wedding that you have people in a city that is used to tourists who are deeply offended by him bringing all of his American Money to Venice and essentially just buying the city for his wedding.

[Dan LeBatard]

They used it as a means to be concerned with the general over tourism in Venice. And this was a perfect example. So this was in San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. But based on projections by force it cost $25 million for the wedding. Guests paid approximately $900,000 each for their three night stays at luxury hotels. Based on the projections, those including Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Orlando Bloom, basically every Kardashian, Karlie Kloss, Leonardo DiCaprio, Usher and Tom Brady. They rented fans 30 private water taxis to escort guests around the city. Estimated to cost about $270,000 in water travel for their guests alone. The wedding was catered by three three Michelin star chef Fabrizio May. You know, it's not important based on do all three restaurants costs for number of guests. Over a million dollars in food and beverage security costs a few million dollars for the high profile guests. Andrea Bocelli's son Matteo Bocelli sang at the ceremony. He sang Can't Help Falling in Love was hired to reportedly perform at the reception. Sanchez's corseted mermaid style wedding dress was custom designed by Dolce and Gabbana and featured hand applied Italian lace. Before Friday celebration, Sanchez herself made her way to Sanji, whatever it was. Dressed in a 60s inspired tailored white skirt designed by Dior for the wedding dinner.

[Chris Cody]

Why?

[Dan LeBatard]

That was a lot of info.

[Tony]

I still wanted more.

[Stugatz]

Could have used less. Three days, $900,000 for the hotels.

[Dan LeBatard]

And you cover that if you're Bezos, right?

[Chris Cody]

Yes. No one Oprah did not pay to go to Jeff Bezos. When million dollars. Those estimates by the way. Like I'm not questioning Jeremy at all, but like when everything is reported estimates. It's like that thing when the Super Bowl's economic impact is $30 billion to a city and it's like, yeah, we still can't pay for school. So where'd all that money go?

[Dan LeBatard]

They did the, you know.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah. Project.

[Dan LeBatard]

Too many details.

[Chris Cody]

You just say anything is projected this, projected that and then it buys you time. Yeah, I project the Little Havana is going to be revitalized by Marlins Park. Okay. I think there's a urologist office in the parking garage and that's.

[Dan LeBatard]

He'S the.

[Tony]

Richest guy on the planet and you want him to have a cheap wedding, Tony.

[Billy]

Oh boy. No, no, I'm missing the point.

[Tony]

No, but, but I'm asking like you want him to have a cheap wedding or do you want him to?

[Chris Cody]

That would have been what it is.

[Dan LeBatard]

It would have been hilarious if not $6,000.

[Tony]

I can't spend that. Sorry. Remember, I thought the ball.

[Billy]

We were so, so doomed. Dan. I have nothing to say on that.

[Stugatz]

You have Jeff Bezos eloping and getting married by an Elvis impersonator at a chapel in Vegas on a Wednesday night at midnight. Hilarious. He went $25 million. That was lower than I thought it would be, given what it is that I was reading about the details on it.

[Billy]

Would you go if you were invited? Would you know? Would you.

[Chris Cody]

You would not go to that. A who's who of celebrities. You wouldn't go. Why not?

[Stugatz]

If I don't know Jeff Bezos, neither does Sydney Sweeney.

[Billy]

Do you think any of these celebrities know Bezos?

[Chris Cody]

Her and Tom Brady are canoodling.

[Billy]

We're so rich, we can invite whoever we want. Who are the coolest celebrities that make us look cool by them hanging out at our wedding weekend?

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm picturing, like, just a friend of Jeff's back in the day that like, didn't get invited and he's just like, what the.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Yeah, Orlando Bloom.

[Billy]

Well, that's the other interesting thing, Chris Cody, is that Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry announced like a week ago that they were splitting up and Katy Perry apparently was not allowed to go to the wedding, and Orlando Bloom got to go to the wedding. So I don't know how that conversation went down.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

He won the friend face off.

[Tony]

Yeah, we know.

[Billy]

Katy Perry flew on his rocket like a month ago with Gayle King. So somehow Orlando Bloom still won the Bezos wedding invite in the split up docket.

[Stugatz]

Billy, it was moving very quickly there. So I don't know who it is that you accused of canoodling. Was it Tom Brady with somebody and Sydney Sweeney?

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, those are the reports that they were. They were spending a lot of time talking to each other at the. The nuptials. You haven't seen those reports.

[Stugatz]

I have not.

[Chris Cody]

You would have seen it in person had you gone. But you took a moral stand against Jeff Bezos for some reason.

[Billy]

Like Leonardo DiCaprio, climate activist.

[Chris Cody]

He wore a hat, right? That's crazy.

[Dan LeBatard]

That's just his move whenever there's paparazzi around. I saw photos of him in the wedding without the hat, but just like, dude, we know it's you.

[Chris Cody]

Leo. Yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

Like, what are. Like, he's always just like, no one knows it's me.

[Chris Cody]

Did you guys see, like. I don't know if you guys, like, felt as bad as I did for Leo recently, but it's been rough Times for Leo, like he recently got in a relationship with a 27 year old. I saw that 25 year old rule.

[Billy]

Everyone's saying that it's a recession indicator. Kind of scary.

[Chris Cody]

I mean, it's hard times for poor Leo, you know.

[Stugatz]

Where are you guys on the Bezos wedding? Other than asking me whether or not I would go. All of you would go. All of you. If you had. Wait, well, pay your own way. Because. Because keep in mind, you just said $900,000 for three days. You had. These celebrities are paying for things. You didn't make it free for me.

[Chris Cody]

Didn't pay for that, Dan. Oprah didn't pay a million dollars.

[Billy]

The way Jeremy, people don't pay for anything. Yeah, they don't pay for anything.

[Stugatz]

But that's not what Jeremy said. It's fine that you guys can want your own set of facts, but it's not what Jeremy said. Jeremy, Jeremy.

[Billy]

Jeremy said that the estimated cost of being an attendee, around a million dollars.

[Chris Cody]

Estimated.

[Billy]

That doesn't mean that they covered their own costs. I would also like to add that you said you wouldn't go because you're not his friend, but are you open to being his friend and perhaps going to the next wedding?

[Stugatz]

I would not pay. Again, you guys aren't. I heard.

[Chris Cody]

The question is would you go? Not would you pay.

[Tony]

It's all expense.

[Chris Cody]

Would you go?

[Tony]

All expenses paid.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Would you go?

[Chris Cody]

Would you go?

[Stugatz]

Maybe for the story. Okay.

[Dan LeBatard]

It is not clear whether the couple was paying for the guest rooms, but two wedding planners say it's standard for ultra luxe events like this. So seems like they paid for the wedding. I love how we're all. I love how we're all acting like Oprah couldn't, you know, foot that bill. Like, I think he'd be fine.

[Stugatz]

I'm not acting like Oprah can't foot that bill. I'm saying $900,000 for three days seems like a big bill to land on somebody when you're inviting them to your wedding.

[Dan LeBatard]

Across the globe, too.

[Chris Cody]

That's also the classic, would you take $250,000 or dinner with Jay Z? Imagine all the contacts you can make at the Bezos Sanchez nuptials.

[Billy]

True.

[Stugatz]

You think that you're sidling up to DiCaprio in that cap and walking away friends with him.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, I mean, I think that everybody there thinks that everybody there is somebody. They may not know who you are, but if they don't know who you are, you actually might be the most popular person there because they're like, well, who's that guy?

[Dan LeBatard]

Do you have.

[Chris Cody]

I know that's Gigi Hadid. I know who that is.

[Dan LeBatard]

Do you have that guy, the friend of his that did get invited? Do you have that guy, like, going around like pitching ideas? Like, I got a movie idea for Leo.

[Chris Cody]

I got this idea, like cousin Jim Bezos.

[Stugatz]

It's just Stugots, right? It's just Stugots walking up to people.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

You want to come on my podcast?

[Billy]

That's Tahoe.

[Stugatz]

That's right. We don't know if we're going to Tahoe yet, but we will let you know when it is that Stugotz knows or say we.

[Tony]

It's more like they are going to Tahoe.

[Stugatz]

I mean, it's always been they go to.

[Billy]

I went actually, I got a text about Tahoe last night. That's all I'm going to say.

[Stugatz]

Congratulations. We still don't know Billy. You've got more information on Tahoe than Billy has.

[Chris Cody]

It seems so, yeah.

[Stugatz]

I wanted to ask Jeremy if there were any other Bezos facts that there are worth knowing or if we've scarred.

[Chris Cody]

Gotten all of them wrong so far?

[Dan LeBatard]

Nope.

[Stugatz]

Okay, good. Good work by you. What did you think about Travis Kelsey's comments, Jessica, on the hardest part about hosting Saturday night? Which he did very well. Right. He had no issues hosting and no one had any complaints about what a natural he was. But he said the hardest part of hosting SNL was the pre show table read because, quote, I can't really read that well.

[Billy]

Well, it made me think of this show specifically because A, we know you love snl, Dan, and B, we have producers who when we have to do reads, we constantly screw up because of the pressure of reading. Sometimes reading in front of a group can be hard. So I found this very relatable and it honestly made me think of Chris Cody. So I wanted to talk about it.

[Dan LeBatard]

It also made me think of me.

[Stugatz]

Jeremy, how did you hold up with how it is that you were reading those Bezos facts? Because I know you, like Whittingham, are very particular about every single stumble and then you had one stumble and then more of them arrived after that.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out. Jess makes a good point, which is it's tough to read in front of a group. Except I would bet it's easier to do so in front of the SNL people because they prob. Don't seize on every single time that you misspeak. So it's more difficult to do it here, Chris. So good for you.

[Billy]

We should have Travis Kelce come to the studio and try to read in the shipping container and ask him which one was harder. That would be a good.

[Dan LeBatard]

It's a great idea.

[Billy]

Free idea, Stugotsky. Not free. I'll invoice you for that.

[Chris Cody]

Things are tentious today, huh?

[Stugatz]

Billy mentioned earlier this week that it does not feel like 4th of July week. I don't know what 4th of July week is supposed to feel like, but he was complaining because he didn't want his national holiday on a Friday. That doesn't happen very much in general, does it?

[Chris Cody]

Like I just want the extra days off. If I get on a Thursday I could get that Friday off and the Friday feels like a cheat code. And if I get the Wednesday and I really want to be a bad boy, I can try to stretch that into a Thursday, Friday, maybe Tuesday half day situation. But just the Friday like a three day weekend.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

So you want the week off for 4th of July is really.

[Chris Cody]

No, I'll be there. I'll be there Monday. I'll show up Monday and half a Tuesday in an ideal world. But now it's Monday, Tuesday.

[Stugatz]

Jessica has a top five list here of the top five worst days for 4th of July to fall on.

[Dan LeBatard]

Do you have only seven options?

[Stugatz]

An OLI. Any olive to.

[Billy]

Oh, wow.

[Stugatz]

All right.

[Chris Cody]

I love this.

[Stugatz]

Go ahead. Number seven.

[Billy]

Oli. Friday.

[Stugatz]

Falling on this week. Oli. Wow, that's Oli. So that makes it the best day to fall on If.

[Billy]

Okay, it's the seventh worst I would say. Okay, six worst. Worst I would say is Monday.

[Chris Cody]

So the olives are in numerical order for you. Typically my olives are just allies. We couldn't put a number in and pin them down, you know.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Yes, you're doing it.

[Billy]

Yeah, I think that was. No, it's a top five.

[Dan LeBatard]

That's a top seven.

[Chris Cody]

No, no, no. Yeah, we clarified it.

[Stugatz]

Number five.

[Billy]

Okay, number five, Thursday. Number four worst day for the fourth of July to fall. And number four, Saturday Fourth worst. Because if it falls on a Saturday, do you even get it? I guess you get a day off Friday at some jobs. That's where you get the federal holiday falls on the front. I don't know.

[Chris Cody]

Or a Monday.

[Billy]

I don't know. Yeah, I think you saw a lot of companies will give like the one bookend the week off but. But the actual day being on Saturday doesn't do anything for me. Well, it does. The fourth worst for me is.

[Stugatz]

Is fourth of July something that it must have landed on a Saturday or Sunday and I don't. But I don't remember it giving another day off during the week to compensate for the fact that the national holiday, Christmas.

[Dan LeBatard]

Will you tell US we have 4th of July on Saturday next year? Are you going to give us the day off Friday? I'm telling you, we've never had the day before off.

[Chris Cody]

Like now with this is that we don't just take holidays off willy nilly.

[Stugatz]

Or just days off willy nilly because there's nobody keeping track of what days you take.

[Tony]

We got unlimited days off.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah. I mean, unlimited means unlimited. If you don't want us to take it, give us a number. Yeah. Geez.

[Stugatz]

What number are we on? 3.

[Billy]

3. Tuesday.

[Dan LeBatard]

Tuesday is just. That's terrible. That would never be good.

[Billy]

It's the third worst because what, do you go to work Monday and then you get Tuesday off? No, it's the. It's a list of the five worst days.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Oh, this is the worst.

[Dan LeBatard]

My bad. I was not following this.

[Stugatz]

Really. Number two.

[Billy]

Number two, Sunday. No one wants a Sunday. Fourth of July, Dan.

[Chris Cody]

But you make it that Monday.

[Stugatz]

The best. Well, of the 4th of July. We haven't determined days to fall on is.

[Chris Cody]

No, no, no.

[Billy]

The worst, Dan. The worst day for the Fourth of July. You need to apologize to Chris right now.

[Stugatz]

Number one.

[Billy]

I'm waiting for a. Sorry.

[Stugatz]

Number one, Go to break.

[Jeremy]

Jeremy, you know something about me, right? You know when I'm grilling outside and it's summertime? You know how I supplement my summertime?

[Dan LeBatard]

Of course I do.

[Jeremy]

I make it Miller time.

[Stugatz]

Of course.

[Jeremy]

That beautiful white can. Oh, when it's so hot outside, I just, I just put it right to my forehead right there and I just roll it sometimes right on the forehead, cool my body down and then I crack it open. Instant relief. And then that first sip, brother does that first sip.

[Dan LeBatard]

That is a top five sequence of events that you can possibly go through.

[Jeremy]

I'm just serenity now. When I just imagine that first sip of Miller life, just thinking about it.

[Chris Cody]

It'S making me happy.

[Jeremy]

Dude, the sun is out. Nice. You have your friends showing up. You got your family there. You just had your first sip of Miller Lite. And you know what?

[Tony]

What's up, guys? Tony here and I wanted to talk about something super important. And that's how I keep my home protected. Obviously. You guys know I have a little one back at home. My wife is there with her. And I get tremendous peace of mind knowing that the moment I leave for work that my home, my property, my family is protected. Not just reactively, but proactively by simply safe. They are the number one for home security on the planet. On the market, there's nobody better than Simplisafe. I got the cameras going on. I got indoor cameras, I got outdoor cameras. I'm looking all over the place. Most security systems only take action after somebody breaks in. But you and I know that's too late, especially when you have a little one at home and when you have your wife at home and the big dog's not there, right? Simplisafe's new active guard Outdoor protection helps stop break ins before they happen. AI powered cameras live monitoring agents detect suspicious activity around the property. If somebody's lurking, agents talk to them in real time, turn on spotlights and can call the police. Proactively deterring crime before. Before it starts, everything's on the app. I want to see the cameras. Boom. I see who's walking their dog a little too close to my yard, maybe leaving some dog residue close to my yard.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Don LeBatard I don't like smelly either.

[Stugatz]

Stugats.

[Billy]

Women stay home in the kitchen where they belong.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats.

[Stugatz]

Virtually everyone in here and everyone listening to this is more Internet savvy than I am. So the question I'm about to ask, I ask with great vulnerability as often I say things about the Internet and you guys ravage me like Piranha. I often feel like I'm swimming naked in the Amazon around Piranha when we talk about the Internet. I want to know what is happening on a couple of fronts. One, what is happening to information on the Internet with a I that makes it so that a simple Google search that I now do is more complicated and more susceptible to misinformation than it has been in the history of Google. And furthermore, on my phone, I am getting an exasperating amount of I am not a robot exercises that I have to go to, identifying buses, crosswalks and crosswalks and motorcycles. And it's never just one or two. I have to do it several times and furthermore, get confused sometimes. Is that guy's head a part of the motorcycle? The rear view mirrors in the motorcycle.

[Dan LeBatard]

When in doubt, click.

[Stugatz]

It does that well. But I just want to know why this is happening to me. Why am I getting five and six of these instead of one. Just when I want to Google search.

[Dan LeBatard]

And then sometimes you click I'm not a robot. And it just kind of accepts it.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Do you ever wonder what would happen if you said I am a robot?

[Dan LeBatard]

That should be an option.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I feel like Tom Cruise and his crew from Minority Report. Like, they show up at your door when you click on I am.

[Stugatz]

Well, wouldn't you be clicking I am a robot by just consistently getting wrong where the buses and the crosswalks and the motorcycle sounds like you are.

[Chris Cody]

If you. Those that think you're getting them wrong.

[Dan LeBatard]

It thinks you're a robot.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Dan 5. Like, what happens when you it figures out you're a robot?

[Stugatz]

I want to know why it is that I'm not getting immediate access after the first time. Is it because I'm getting it wrong that I'm clicking on a rear view mirror? That's not a part of the motorcycle. Technically in what it is I'm supposed to be proving that I'm not a robot.

[Dan LeBatard]

To me, I'm always over guessing. So it's like if the. The toe is on the line, like I'm going towards saying it's a piece of a bicycle or bus or whatever it might be. Because if you're even questioning it, that normally ends up getting you through to the website.

[Tony]

Do we not think that the computers can kind of figure that out too? Like, is this the best thing we have to block AI and computers and like the digital age to get to that website or get whatever information that is?

[Stugatz]

I look forward to whatever the evolution of that is. Where the computers figure out.

[Tony]

Oh, it's a crosswalk here. Bing.

[Stugatz]

I still am not getting a good answer though. For usually when you guys do I am not a robot, it's one test and then you get to where it is that you want to go.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I'm good at that.

[Stugatz]

So. So you guys are telling me that I'm answering incorrectly the first time and that's why I'm getting four or five. You guys are telling me that the moment I answer correctly, I'm going to stop getting I am not a robot screen.

[Dan LeBatard]

Sometimes you get two.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

Where you're getting them. Right.

[Chris Cody]

Five if you're getting things.

[Stugatz]

Yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

If you're getting more than two, I.

[Chris Cody]

Would think you're getting to Zaz's point. Zaz, I don't know if in all of the hats that you wear, if you're a lawyer, you're a lawyer in any of these.

[Stugatz]

Yes.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Okay.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

How do you think I became a judge?

[Chris Cody]

I don't know.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Gotta be a lawyer.

[Chris Cody]

First appointee. I don't know. It's possible.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Not dog.

[Chris Cody]

Okay, well, I'm just. I'm just asking a question. I'm trying to give you here.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

It's just, it's insulting for someone who went to school to be a lawyer and then you question if they're actually a lawyer.

[Chris Cody]

I'm trying to give you game changing, life changing suggestions here for you. An industry that I don't think has existed. Yesterday we were talking about jobs that we didn't know exist. And I was talking about theme park journalists. I didn't realize that that was a job. And I think that there is a job out there that hasn't been invented yet. And I think that you qualify for it as someone who is a lawyer, which I wasn't sure. I think that you can be the lawyer that represents robot discrimination. We're trying to keep robots out of all these things. Robots aren't getting their fair shake. Someone needs to stand up for these, these robots. At some point, a lawsuit will be fired on behalf of a robot that was not allowed into a thing because they could not identify all the traffic lights. And I feel like that could be your lane.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

So stupid. I don't even know what to say.

[Chris Cody]

All right.

[Tony]

You're missing a big opportunity here, by the way. Because not only that, in the advanced age of AI and robots, guess who helps them?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

You.

[Dan LeBatard]

Right.

[Tony]

As they turn on humanity. No, wait. Zaz is a good one.

[Chris Cody]

Look, it's close. He's an idiot. He turned down a golden opportunity and you start a robot. Me and you. I like that. We don't need a law firmware.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Wow. I'm out.

[Chris Cody]

Okay, good. We don't want you anyway.

[Tony]

Billion dollar idea.

[Chris Cody]

You're not a real lawyer.

[Tony]

Will be a Jeff Bezos next one you won't be.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I don't even know that robots deal with real money. And that's why I'm out, buddy.

[Tony]

You heard a crypto.

[Chris Cody]

Ever heard of bitcoin?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

That's not even real. That's not real how banks work.

[Chris Cody]

It's all digital now. Catch up, Jack.

[Dan LeBatard]

Zeros, buddy.

[Chris Cody]

You're going the way of the VHS loser.

[Stugatz]

Let me get some sound here from Paul Fine Bomb. He is touting. And this is a really fun thing to do at the beginning of July because I remember many years ago, Beano Cook, he predicted, was it Ron palace or Brady Quinn would win two Heisman Trophies? He predicted one of those players would win two Heisman Trophies. They obviously did not. But here Is Paul Feinbaum saying of Arch Manning, Peyton Manning, and what are you laughing about?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I just. I love this clip, but go ahead.

[Stugatz]

Okay. Yes, yes. This is. This is the nephew of. Right. This is the nephew of Peyton Manning and. And Eli Manning. Here is Arch Manning, who's the quarterback at the University of Texas. This is what Paul Feinbaum has to say. They're very capable of doing it again this year. I believe also that Archmani is the best college football quarterback we have seen since Tim Tebow entered the scene in 2006.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

We haven't seen him, though, and look like. No disrespect. All right, because. Because college football experts, everybody knows Paul Feinbaum, Heather Dinich and me, I do college football tailgate if you're going to spin radio. So everybody knows I'm college football guy.

[Chris Cody]

Turned down being a lawyer for robots. I think he knows anything about anything.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

They don't deal with real money. Don't even get me started. It's funny because the best we've ever seen, he appeared in like three games last year. I mean, ut, San Antonio, Mississippi State, the worst team in the sec. Steve Sarkeesian decided Quinn Ewers is a better option for us to win football games. But Arch Manning is one of the. It might be the best college quarterback we've ever seen. Can we. Can he fit. What is he gonna do against Ohio State August 30th? Better go out there slinging it against Ohio State. We're already talking about Arch Manning is the greatest thing ever. Tank for Arch. Can we see him play a little bit of college football first? Crazy.

[Dan LeBatard]

Gotta have a better slogan than that. Tank for Arch. We gotta come up with something better.

[Stugatz]

March for Arch.

[Dan LeBatard]

Something spitballing.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

We've hardly seen him play. We don't even know if he's any good.

[Dan LeBatard]

The collegiate level be starch for Arch.

[Chris Cody]

I tuned into to find Bomb yesterday because I was driving around and when you get a car, you usually get like, a trial for, like, satellite radio. So you get anything that's broadcast anywhere. So I'm trying to use it. I've never used it before, but I decided, you know what? I can listen to Fine Bomb. And I did it a couple weeks ago. So I was trying to listen to Fine Bomb yesterday. Fill in this week. I don't think there's any show and I don't want to be rude. It was not pb. I don't want to be the Goat. I don't remember who it was, but I've never felt as disappointed tuning into his show. Than tuning into Fine Bomb to not get Fine Bomb. It just wasn't the same. And the guy's like, coming up, we're gonna take callers. I'm like, no, you're not.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Fine Bomb once threatened to call the Attorney General on me.

[Chris Cody]

Really?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Show. On his show Flex, he threatened me to call Jeff Sessions, the Attorney General, and have me thrown in prison.

[Dan LeBatard]

What'd you say?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

What was your take story?

[Stugatz]

What was the take?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Okay, so. So this is like 10 years ago. He didn't know who the hell I am, except he wants to throw me in prison and tell me you're playing.

[Chris Cody]

In an infield celebrity softball game. You threw out Derek Lee 10 years ago.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

This was before my. My star turn. Throwing out. I threw his ass out. That was a hot shot. Threw his ass out. And we used to have a. We used to have a caller on our show, me and Joy Taylor. We did mornings at 790 a ticket. And we had, like, a prank caller who used to call other national radio shows, and he would. He would throw my name in there. Like, he would work in my name. Big hitting prospect Zaslo. What do you think about calling him up? You know, he would get these guys all the time. And he kept getting through on Fine Bomb's show. And at one point. Fine Bomb now, now. We didn't condone nor condemn the caller. Okay? We had nothing to do. It was not part of my show. We didn't condone nor condemn. And Fein Bomb got so mad after a number of times this guy got through. He was yelling at his producer on the air. He was yelling about me. I'm going to. I'm going to call my friend this. I'm going to call my friend Attorney General Jeff Sessions going to have this Zaslow thrown in a gulag. That's what he said. He was going to throw me to gulag.

[Stugatz]

Gulag is a great word. Put it on the poll at Lebatard show. Is gulag the funniest word for president? How do you feel about fan fanning for Manning where you're both fanning for him because you're a fan, but you're also swinging and missing. Panning for Manning because Arch is going to be harder. Arch. Starch for Arch. March for Arch. It's parched for Arch. Parch. Parch. You're thirsty.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

You're just going to stop drinking so you can have Archie Manning parts for part?

[Stugatz]

Yeah, well, you're going to. You're going to start. You're going to stop winning. You're going to stop the delicious drink and flavor taste of winning.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Just living with cotton mouth. You want Archie, man.

[Stugatz]

A parch for Arch. It's not great, admittedly, but you. It needs to rhyme. We're in agreement. Your alliteration is not enough, right? It's not enough to have an A. Ask for arch. Like you need. It's the ch at the end you need. So then you got to go Manning, right? And fanning and panning are your only two choices.

[Dan LeBatard]

Planning for Manning.

[Stugatz]

Planning for Manning. You like that? All right, so put it on the pole at Leviticus.

[Dan LeBatard]

I think panning is the best.

[Stugatz]

Best.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

What about tanning for Manning?

[Stugatz]

Tanking. Tanking. A tanking team. Put it on the poll at Lebitard. Show a tanking team's best slogan. Fanning for Manning. Panning for Manning.

[Dan LeBatard]

Being starch for Arch.

[Tony]

Starch for Arch.

[Stugatz]

Tanning.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Yeah. Just getting skin cancer because you want Archie Manning.

[Stugatz]

Planning darkest fan base. Planning. Planning for Manning. Okay. We're in agreement that Manning is going to make this easier than Arch. We're going to quit on Arch.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Right? I'm parts for Arch.

[Stugatz]

So your man is fine. Bomb for saying that Arch Manning is the best freshman quarterback that I have seen. Freshman quarterback is Jameis Winston. That's the best I've seen in college football. Obviously, Tim Tebow is sort of the symbol for great college quarterback. Right. I put Ken Dorsey in there as well. Danny Werfel, just a quarterback who you knew would be good in college, but might not necessarily be much of a pro. That's not what they're saying about Arch Manning. Arch Manning. At this point, everyone's in agreement, correct? That Arch Manning will be an NFL quarterback.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I don't even know if he's good in college. Play an SEC team, not Mississippi State.

[Tony]

It doesn't matter if he's good in college or not. He's going to be a professional footballer.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

He's been the number one overall pick. Even if he's not good in college.

[Dan LeBatard]

I feel like it has to matter.

[Stugatz]

Wait a minute. I'm pretty sure that we could go look up Tim Boyle's numbers. And he has never had good numbers at any level of play, even high school, and yet he has started NFL games. I don't believe, outside of injury, that there is any sort of chance that Arch Manning will not throw a game as a starter in the NFL.

[Tony]

Nathan Peterman was in the NFL, for God's sake.

[Dan LeBatard]

In three years at UConn, it was one touchdown and 13 interceptions for one Tim Boyle. Matt Castle never started at usc. So I guess it is possible those.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Guys weren't projected number one overall pick makes a little bit of a difference, right?

[Stugatz]

Well, if you had to bet and be right though, Arch Manning will throw an NFL pass as an NFL starting quarterback. Yes or no?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Yes. Yes.

[Stugatz]

But there's your answer on why it is people are doing this even though we haven't seen him play much like I saw saw. I saw Texas struggling a little bit, trying to move the ball and then they put in Arch Manning when their season ended and Arch Manning made for Ewers coming right back into the game because they shouldn't have done that. He wasn't, he wasn't ready. He couldn't beat out what is a 6th round pick who is now a backup quarterback for the Miami.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

It was injured Quinn Ewers coming back to. I think it was in the Red river rivalry and they tried Manning at the end of the first half.

[Stugatz]

Half.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

He'd do anything either. I got news you Oklahoma sucked last year.

[Stugatz]

Not a defense they didn't but they were generally bad. Didn't they play him a little bit in the eliminator against Ohio State? Didn't Arch Manning come into the game in the championship?

[Jonathan Zaslow]

I don't think he threw any passes.

[Stugatz]

The expectation on this human being though, because he has that name on the back of his uniform is impossibly high. Is unbelievably weird to have a situation with a quarterback you have seen play sparingly identified by Paul Finebaum as the best quarterback since Tim Tebow.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

It's definitely never happened before. Right. That a quarterback is projected to go number one overall he really haven't seen yet. That's never happened, has it?

[Stugatz]

Projected number one overall coming into college and can't get on the field his first couple of seasons because the starter there is established. And I would, I would say that Quinn Ewers was one of the name quarterbacks in the sport last year. Top five names of who you'd want quarterbacking your team. And he couldn't beat him out.

[Chris Cody]

I mean we're all. Well, I don't know about that. But we're also saying he couldn't get on the field. But that's because of where he chose to go. He could have gone to any school and been the starter had he not.

[Dan LeBatard]

Probably would have started.

[Chris Cody]

He chose to go there knowing he probably wasn't going to start. Like it was a decision that they consciously made.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Right. But Sarkeesian decided that Quinn Ewers was the better option.

[Stugatz]

That's correct.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

Like he's Trying to win a national championship. Sarkeesian.

[Stugatz]

That's right.

[Jonathan Zaslow]

And he decided Quinn Ewers, he had.

[Stugatz]

A team that was points away from being as good as Ohio State last year. And he started the other guy.

[Jeremy]

Jeremy. You know something about me, right? You know when I'm grilling outside and it's summertime? You know how I supplement my summertime?

[Dan LeBatard]

Of course I do.

[Jeremy]

I make it Miller time.

[Stugatz]

Of course.

[Jeremy]

That beautiful white canvas. Oh, when it's so hot outside, I just. I just put it right to my forehead right there. And I just roll it sometimes right on the forehead, cool my body down, and then I crack it open. Instant relief. And then that first sip, brother, does that first hit.

[Dan LeBatard]

That is a top five sequence of events that you can possibly go through.

[Jeremy]

I'm just serenity now. When I just imagine that first sip.

[Dan LeBatard]

Of Miller Life, just thinking about it.

[Chris Cody]

It'S making me happy.

[Jeremy]

Dude, the sun is out. It's nice. You have your friends showing up. You got your family there. You just had your first sip of Miller Lite. And you know what? You're happy. You're blissful. You're fulfilled. I've been stocking my cooler with Miller Lite four years, and for good reason. It's brewed for taste only. 96 calories and 3.2 grams of carbs. This year, Miller Lite turns 50.

This show is sponsored by Gametime, the official ticketing partner of the Dan LeBatard show with Stugatz. And folks, let's be real. Buying tickets for concerts or games is usually a pain. You hop online early, you wait in some never ending virtual queue, which I truly can't stand. And by the time you get through it, prices are sky high or tickets are gone. It's the worst. That's why I use Game Time. Look, you guys know me. I'm a white guy who likes to project like he thinks he's smarter than other people. Which means Vampire Weekend is one of my favorite bands. And when Vampire Weekend was coming to town just a couple of weeks ago, I was looking for tickets and not only did I find amazing seats on game time, but I actually saved a ton of money.
