1. Betting Insights and Analysis (01:20 - 03:51)

Stugotz opens the episode with a brief overview of the betting landscape, particularly focusing on the Oklahoma City Thunder's performance. He expresses skepticism about their ability to rebound due to "too many points" and opts to back Denver against the spread:

Stugotz (01:31): "I think the greatest offensive player that I've ever seen has a great opportunity to keep that game a little bit tighter. Now, does OKC bounce back? That's for the experts to decide."

Dan LeBatard transitions the conversation to hockey, discussing the Florida Panthers as favorites against the Toronto Maple Leafs. He shares the team's dynamics and recent performances:

Dan LeBatard (02:50): "The Florida Panthers are one and a half goal favorites on the road today against the Maple Leafs."

2. Florida Panthers vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Breakdown (03:42 - 10:36)

The hosts delve deep into the recent game dynamics between the Panthers and Maple Leafs. A significant portion of the discussion centers around Sam Bennett's controversial hit on the opposing goalie, leading to debates about concussion protocols and team retaliation.

Billy questions the host's approach to handling the incident, emphasizing the potential for misinformation and fan unrest:

Billy (05:04): "Because if I say to you... your guy is dirty. Everyone hates him. Sam Bennett is trending. He's dirty."

Stugotz defends the hit, arguing that it was an "innocuous hit" and criticizes the media narrative surrounding the incident:

Stugotz (06:23): "What happened was the shot, he did not get concussed on that. Check Chris Nowitzki's timeline."

The conversation also touches upon the complexities of team dynamics and the challenges of maintaining honesty in reporting:

Stugotz (06:58): "The teams cannot tell the truth because it makes the officials, the Maple Leafs in the NHL look terrible."

3. Wild Billy Wednesday: The David Beckham Encounter (10:36 - 27:50)

A humorous and engaging segment unfolds as Billy recounts his experience at Whole Foods, where he believes he spotted David Beckham incognito. The hosts explore the possibility of mistaken identities, impersonators, and the challenges of recognizing celebrities in everyday settings.

Billy shares his skepticism and the ensuing confusion after an employee disputes his identification of Beckham:

Billy (14:31): "I saw Beckham at Whole Foods the other day. I wasn't sure it was him... he looked pretty beat up from the night before."

Stugotz and Chris join in, discussing Beckham's lifestyle and the improbability of the encounter:

Stugotz (11:14): "I know David Beckham and Tom Brady are friends... but I don't understand this."

The segment evolves into a playful debate about Beckham's habits, including his milk preferences and tattoo visibility, further highlighting the camaraderie among the hosts:

Dan LeBatard (19:58): "According to Google AI, David Beckham primarily drinks oat milk, particularly in his daily lattes."

4. Celebrity Friendships and Social Dynamics (27:50 - 32:34)

The conversation shifts to the unexpected friendship between Tom Brady and Tai Domi, a tough hockey player known for his controversial plays. The hosts analyze the synergy between high-profile athletes from different sports and the implications of their alliances.

Billy expresses confusion over Brady and Domi's friendship, questioning the common ground between a celebrated quarterback and a gritty hockey player:

Billy (22:49): "Why wouldn't Tom Brady respect a man who in hockey... is tough and willing to be controversial for being tough?"

Stugotz speculates on the nature of their relationship, suggesting it might stem from shared social circles or mutual respect beyond the field:

Stugotz (23:04): "Beckham and Brady being friends, that makes tons of sense."

The discussion also touches upon the personal lives of these figures, including anecdotes about their interactions at sporting events and mutual acquaintances.

5. Closing Anecdotes and Reflections (32:34 - End)

As the episode nears its conclusion, the hosts share lighter moments and personal stories, maintaining the show's signature blend of humor and candidness. Billy wraps up his Whole Foods story, highlighting the ongoing debate about celebrity sightings and the nature of public personas.

Dan LeBatard adds a humorous note about podcast sponsorships and the dynamics of discussing popular shows:

Dan LeBatard (28:32): "That segment was brought to you by HBO Max. We pay podcasts to talk about our shows."

The episode concludes with playful banter, reinforcing the tight-knit rapport among the hosts and leaving listeners eager for future discussions.

[Dan LeBatard]

Specialoffer this is the Dan Levator show with the Stugats podcast.

[Stugotz]

It's time for against the SP and.

[Mike Ryan]

It'S brought to you by our friends at DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours, Mike. Take it away.

[Stugotz]

I'm gonna keep this short and sweet. Too many points in Oklahoma City. I know everyone expects a favorites to bounce back. I was thinking about going Boston, but we're a little unsure about Porzingis and Jaylen Brown. I think the greatest offensive player that I've ever seen has a great opportunity to keep that game a little bit tighter. Now, does OKC bounce back? That's for the experts to decide. I just think it's too many points and I'm taking Denver against the spread.

[Dan LeBatard]

Billy gonna head over to the ice Dano. So Florida Panthers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Florida Panthers are one and a half goal favorites on the road. I was asking around this room here because even though, you know, some people call me, you know, Baby Billy from Ice Ice Baby, number one hockey podcast that we had going for some time there until the dentist retired and then we kind of like we should retire the show in his honor. Wow.

[Billy]

Why did that show end?

[Dan LeBatard]

I remember we had to retire to the honor of it.

[Billy]

Billy. I don't know.

[Dan LeBatard]

Maybe it was caught honestly it was causing inner office friction and for the goodness of the lark, I said, you know what, we'll take a step back, give Dorky his room to shine, give Roy his room to shine and take a step back here. And that's fine. We did it for the good of the lark. So anywho, back to the ice.

[Billy]

No, but wait a minute, wait.

[Chris]

He took one for the team okay.

[Billy]

But for the Lark.

[Dan LeBatard]

Good. Of the Lark.

[Billy]

Yes, I. I got it.

[Dan LeBatard]

That's still the name, correct?

[Billy]

I don't know. I don't know.

[Dan LeBatard]

I don't.

[Stugotz]

I don't think it's ever been the name.

[Dan LeBatard]

Can that go? Or.

[Stugotz]

I don't think the Lark has ever been.

[Dan LeBatard]

Lose that on the divorce or.

[Chris]

I like the Lark better.

[Dan LeBatard]

Really? Just the Lark, lose the meadow.

[Stugotz]

I believe that story is still embargoed.

[Billy]

Let's change it to the Lark.

[Dan LeBatard]

Anywho. So back to the ice. The Florida Panthers are 1 1/2 goal favorites today in Toronto against the Maple Leafs. And I said, that's. That strikes me as odd, a road favorite by 1 1/2 goals. So I asked around the room, you know, the experts here on the ice hockey. I said, what's. What gives? And Chris said, cause Panthers bounce back. It's what they do. And I said, you know what? Good enough for me. So I'm going to take the Panthers minus one and a half on the road today against the Toronto Maple Leafs against the Spring Bounce back.

[Billy]

Excellent analysis.

[Stugotz]

I offered additional analysis. I'm like, well, the starting goalie is out for Toronto. And he's like, I got what I. I got what I need.

[Dan LeBatard]

I was sold. And the Panthers bounced back. That's what they do. And then Mike gave me additional info. I said, great. Gonna put that in my pocket for a rainy day. Bounce back. That's all I need. Against us, Billy.

[Billy]

Wednesday. I don't mean to be crass about this, but if I say to you. And Sam Bennett was cleared and immediately cleared by Jonathan Zaslow, proclaiming there would be no hearing, and then breaking the news exclusively and journalistically, that Sam Bennett would not only not be suspended, but he would not be heard. He would not be. Are you heard? Put it on the poll at Lebatard Show. When you're in a hearing at Lebatard.

[Chris]

Show, probably for the best.

[Billy]

I mean, no. Because if I ask you this question, Stugats. It's crass. But your star player is or isn't suspended or put in controversy because he elbows the opposing goalie in the head during the playoffs. Toronto and Florida are both very good. Toronto is up 1 nothing in Florida. If I just tell you, hey, fan base, that is cruel, in exchange for. Your guy is dirty. Everyone hates him. Sam Bennett is trending. He's dirty. It might be an optical illusion. Oh, my God. Toronto's goalie is out. And how long will he be out now?

[Stugotz]

We don't know, but we know it's this one game and is going to be in there.

[Billy]

He think he was that. People think. Some people think because of what might have been an optical illusion and a concussion earlier in the game, that there was a brain injury from a dirty hit in Panthers Toronto that not only led to Florida back in the game, but now leads to Florida having an advantage today. Most fans would take that. Correct. If you're the Panthers and you're like, I'll take my guy injuring the goalie for so he can miss a game.

[Stugotz]

So, like, this is what's so uncomfortable about this because nobody in Toronto could actually help and still Large could help out here. Paul Maurice kind of referenced like, hey, this was our guy. He was our backup last year. Him and Sam Bennett are friends. They can't tell the truth, which is he didn't get concussed on that play. Because if they tell the truth, then the NHL, the Maple Leafs have to admit, the officials have to admit that they let a concussed dude play for like 15 real time minutes. So what happens is this whole game of ambiguity, what would be bullshit, is if Toronto tries to take a shot at Bob or take a shot at Sam Bennett because of revenge or the optics of revenge, when that's not. No, no, it's not. It's flatly not. What happened was the shot, he did not get concussed on that. Check Chris Nowitzki's timeline.

[Billy]

Does Toronto agree with that?

[Stugotz]

Not the fans. And you know why the fans aren't? Because they're falling for this narrative that is perpetuated by the media. Because the teams cannot tell the truth because it makes the officials, the Maple Leafs in the NHL look terrible. So they're gonna let this narrative go. You're gonna have goons in the, in the crowd chaining for revenge when there's nothing to avenge. It was an innocuous hit that didn't cause a concussion. It was a slap shot that he took off the face that his helmet, it knocked his helmet off. He looked dazed. He was shaking his head. He showed a bunch of symptoms. And this isn't according to me, this is according to experts.

[Chris]

Do you think the Leafs see it that way, though? The players, the guys playing, I hope.

[Stugotz]

In that locker room? Yeah, it was the puck off the face.

[Roy]

But why would you do that? Wouldn't I want my guys fired up, be like, hey, they concussed our boa?

[Stugotz]

I think so.

[Roy]

They took him out.

[Stugotz]

I think it's fairly obvious and I would be paying attention to what's not.

[Mike Ryan]

Being said, what was that character.

[Billy]

Who's that?

[Roy]

That's a hockey coach.

[Mike Ryan]

A Southern. A Southern hockey coach they can cast out.

[Dan LeBatard]

Boy, I like this.

[Roy]

We're not gonna take this line now.

[Mike Ryan]

They're more Canadian.

[Billy]

I think that's Baby Billy. No, there was a Baby Billy in there.

[Stugotz]

I would be paying attention to what's not being said because they all have. This is a delicate dance. Because the coaches left this guy out there. They're not doing what John Cooper did or what Brendan Hagel did, which is up the ante after that hit. Like, you can't go for someone's head. They're not saying those things. They're not saying like, we're going to come after Sam Bennett. Which is something that you often hear after something like this happens. You know why you're not hearing it? Because they know.

[Billy]

Okay.

[Stugotz]

No, it was the shot.

[Billy]

That's right. Okay. You're every bit as sure of this as I am that there have been no black knuckleballers. I got it.

[Stugotz]

But I would be the first to admit that I'm wrong if they try to take retribution.

[Roy]

Except in the Negro Leagues. They've been there.

[Billy]

I don't think our audience knows who the Negroes are.

[Chris]

Huh?

[Roy]

Roy? Me Juju. I forgot Carl, earlier.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

You also said sometimes Dominique.

[Roy]

Sometimes Dominique. Hawk not always here.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, Hawk, but not the. I know there are two Hawks that are canon.

[Chris]

Right?

[Dan LeBatard]

Hawk, Can I ask a question? They need to make a teen just show, right? Or like a 30 minute episode.

[Billy]

Yes.

[Dan LeBatard]

Like they, they. They were doing all. They built all those just for the show for like three minute segments. They have to have made something with all of that. Right.

[Roy]

It's the only criticism I had. Well, now I had a couple of criticisms about how it all ended, but one of them was they have Baby Billy just quit the show in the middle. And I'm like, no, like Billy said, I want to see that finished product. Kind of like that season of Curb youb Enthusiasm where they did the Seinfeld finale over and then we actually got to see kind of bits and pieces of it in a storyline way. I wanted that.

[Dan LeBatard]

I wanted that a teenage episode would have been incredible.

[Roy]

Oh, my God. Is Baby Billy as teen Just the.

[Billy]

Question I am asking Mike Ryan about Toronto and how these things could or would or should escalate. Baby Billy just exhorted the Toronto crowd. The Canadians. Canadians and Americans aren't in a friendly place right now. And already all of Canada is mad that our little shit team down here in Florida is the one winning the championships over McDavid and everyone else. Given the present hostilities in the world, and given the hostilities that are generally pretty sophomoric and dumb in hockey, filed under code as a strategic move, if Toronto's crowd is filled with hostility, these are the champions and they're allegedly dirty. And you want to incite that crowd that you felt that championship team after they gave you a dirty hit, score three goals, bang, bang, bang, and get momentum off of a cheap or what could have been a cheap shot. If you wanted to escalate the thing with misinformation just to throw a bonfire on crazy hockey playoffs, why wouldn't you incite the crowd and incite dumb hockey people into get the energy up here? Crazy. We're fighting right off the top of the game.

[Roy]

You gotta.

[Stugotz]

Boy, the crowd's gotta be plenty rowdy. And look, there will be nasty interactions and retribution will be taken. And it might have nothing to do with Stellardis because that's just playoff hockey.

[Mike Ryan]

He'll get booed every time he touches.

[Stugotz]

For heaven's sakes, Tai Domi's kids out there. There's going to be shit.

[Billy]

Is Tai Domi's kid the same way?

[Stugotz]

Yeah, he's the same way.

[Chris]

Sam Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

[Stugotz]

Did kick his ass pretty bad one time. It was an ass kicking.

[Billy]

Thank you, stugazo.

[Chris]

I mean, a Domi is a dummy.

[Billy]

Put it on the poll at Levitard show. Is a Domi a Domi? I asked the question poorly. You win again. I did not mean would one of Tai Domi's kids be like Tai Domi? That understood by everyone who has ever heard the name Tai Domi, that that kid would be like his father. What I was asking you is, does he top Tai Domi on being Tai Domi?

[Stugotz]

No.

[Chris]

Wow.

[Billy]

Nobody does. Correct.

[Chris]

The original is always the best.

[Billy]

No, the sequel will never top the original. I don't know.

[Stugotz]

You know what's random is Tai Domi and Tom Brady are friends.

[Chris]

What?

[Stugotz]

Like they're close. Yeah. Yeah. When I went to an Inter Miami match and Tai Domi was there with Tom Brady, and it was like I was also like, feet away from. I don't get gooseies a lot and I don't get. I've seen a lot of people in sports. I don't get impressive. There was five feet in front of me, David Beckham and Tom Brady embraced and I was like, whoa.

[Roy]

Well, hold on for a second.

[Dan LeBatard]

And you're like, is that Tai Domi?

[Stugotz]

I was like, that's Tai Domi.

[Chris]

What's he doing?

[Stugotz]

That's Tai Domi.

[Roy]

Wait, do we have them? We have them as friends going to the game together. Or maybe Tai Domi got his ticket on game time app and was like, oh, I just happened to be sitting right next to Tom Brad.

[Stugotz]

No, no, this was. This was around the COVID time, which was like the best time to be an Inter Miami season ticket holder. I know that's weird to say because so many people died.

[Roy]

I miss Covid.

[Stugotz]

But, like, whoa. Because of the social distancing, they couldn't be near the field of the players, where the normal boxes are now for VIPs, so they were mixed in with all the season ticket holders. So there was like one rain delay where I'm just pounding my Miller lights and I'm at the same, like, bar top table with David Guetta. It was wild. That quickly stopped quickly. They quickly put an end to that because we were in the free state of Florida. But, man, like, that was a luxurious experience that was well worth the money.

[Dan LeBatard]

Did you thank David Guetta?

[Stugotz]

I did. For healing the world. Yeah, yeah. Shout out to his family. It's a weird thing. That's MLS canon.

[Roy]

Did that happen at that game? No, no, no, no.

[Stugotz]

That happened in New York.

[Roy]

Yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

Crazy time, that game. Yeah.

[Stugotz]

There is. There is some good. There are some aspects that we'll look back and be like. I do kind of miss that. Like, hunting for content, being excited, everybody watching things together, the lack of traffic.

[Chris]

Oh, the best.

[Stugotz]

Dude, remember when we were driving to the Clevelander during those times?

[Chris]

Yes, I did.

[Stugotz]

Well, I was. When I was driving to Dan's apartment when the lockdown was really tight.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Mike Ryan]

Old wrestling videos, dude.

[Stugotz]

The smell of that place because it didn't have a garbage disposal. The little dicks everywhere.

[Dan LeBatard]

What?

[Stugotz]

Yeah, there was a bad. The last rager. The floor was still warm from the last bachelorette party.

[Billy]

It's gonna be in the book.

[Stugotz]

It was in the oral history episode. And we'll get around to that.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Billy]

I saw Beckham at Whole Foods the other day.

[Dan LeBatard]

Really?

[Chris]

Really. Say hello.

[Billy]

Well, I wasn't sure it was him. And what was weird about it, he's.

[Stugotz]

Just got one of those faces.

[Dan LeBatard]

Wait, hold on a second.

[Chris]

I mean, you know when you see David Becker.

[Dan LeBatard]

Are you sure now?

[Billy]

Yes. I'm gonna tell you the story. You guys are so quiet.

[Stugotz]

You know, he's 50.

[Chris]

Still waiting on the Lebo story.

[Billy]

I'm going to get there. It was going to be the punchline at the end, but you ruined it because The Negroes.

[Dan LeBatard]

Wait a minute.

[Stugotz]

You know David Beckham and I share a tattoo artist.

[Dan LeBatard]

Really?

[Stugotz]

That's a humble brag together.

[Dan LeBatard]

Wow. I'm interested. Weave this quilt.

[Billy]

Let's see if we can. If I have my teammates with me on a Wild Willie Wednesday, I might.

[Chris]

He's wacky.

[Stugotz]

So Whole Foods, most famous person in the world in the history of sports is arguably there. And you don't know if it's actually.

[Dan LeBatard]

No.

[Chris]

Well, I am Michael Jordan, but anyway.

[Stugotz]

No, it be David Beckham.

[Billy]

Put it on the poll. Who's more famous, David Beckham or Michael Jordan at Lebar show Don Lebatard.

[Dan LeBatard]

I kind of agree.

[Stugotz]

This is a trap game stuff.

[Dan LeBatard]

I kind of do too, but I wanted to pick the Dolphins against the spread. This is the Dan lebatar show with the Stadts.

[Billy]

I was at Whole Foods, and the person who went past me looked a lot like David Beckham, but was. Was beat up. Oh, no, no, not. Not physically beat up, but was wearing sort of a hoodie on a day that wasn't meant for. You know, it wasn't cold out in any way.

[Dan LeBatard]

It was being incognito.

[Billy]

Well, but you might. No, no, no, no.

[Dan LeBatard]

Daddy. Duck like this and say posh.

[Billy]

Yes, he did, Billy. It was strange.

[Stugotz]

His voice doesn't quite match.

[Dan LeBatard]

He's a little, you know, tell the truth.

[Chris]

He's trying to weave, guys. I mean.

[Stugotz]

Oh, the player cards right now. This conclave is cooking, dude.

[Dan LeBatard]

Tops is gonna have the wildest release ever.

[Stugotz]

You want in on the chat? It's usually a Syria a chat, but now it's a conclave chat on the tops.

[Dan LeBatard]

Like insert. Do you want, like, a red piece or, like, the white piece of the garment?

[Stugotz]

All the authentically worn.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah.

[Roy]

Face death threats and criminal charges. The bullet points on these player cards are amazing. It's like fun facts.

[Dan LeBatard]

Wait, that guy that just spoke faced death threats and criminal charges?

[Stugotz]

Yes.

[Dan LeBatard]

What criminal charges he faced?

[Roy]

I didn't read fast enough.

[Dan LeBatard]

Anyways, Bosch.

[Stugotz]

Good prep, Father Yuri.

[Roy]

Not prep. It's live.

[Chris]

Yeah, but why is he up for this position?

[Stugotz]

The Ohio State University?

[Dan LeBatard]

Chris Lamb is a great name for.

[Roy]

An orator, especially about the Vatican.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, he's the voice. So Posh is there.

[Billy]

Yeah, she was not.

[Dan LeBatard]

Then it wasn't him. They're inseparable.

[Billy]

I'm there and I'm unsure. And I'm sorry for not having quite the certainty that you guys did when you weren't there. At how it would feel to be there and see the David Beckham I saw. I Don't know what he did the night before. I'm not here to judge whatever he did the night before, but it was unshaven and it was hagg. And if it was David Beckham, and I'm expecting radiant sex symbol, it may have indeed been radiant sex symbol and old silver fox, but he looked pretty beat up from the night. I don't even know from what. And I'm like, well, that can't be international sex symbol David Beckham.

[Stugotz]

But I know, you know what was going through his mind to myself, you know what was going through. No, that can't be the guy from Highly questionable. He looks like shit now. What happened to his mustache?

[Roy]

Who's more reckless with their speculation? Mike with Boris Sanchez's beard or Dan with perhaps David Beckham?

[Chris]

No, no, I hung over David.

[Dan LeBatard]

I don't know what he did last night.

[Mike Ryan]

That's the part that's reckless. I don't know what he did the night before. Just say he was in a sweater, if I may.

[Billy]

No, but this is not. No, but you're asking me, why did you not recognize David Beckham? And I'm like, cause Miami got him the night before.

[Chris]

And the hoodie.

[Mike Ryan]

What aisle are we talking here?

[Stugotz]

If I may, what aisle was. I'd like to revisit a new segment that I debuted earlier in the show is like, if I could have a camera fixated on one person reacting to something from that day, it would be David Beckham sitting back and watching Dan LeBatard say that he looked haggard if he was there.

[Dan LeBatard]

Wait, can we play a game called what kind of milk does David Beckham get at Whole Foods?

[Mike Ryan]

That's where I'm going with this.

[Roy]

Oat, definitely.

[Mike Ryan]

It had to be an obnoxious aisle.

[Roy]

Oat milk.

[Dan LeBatard]

The annoying milk aisle. For sure.

[Billy]

If it was David Beckham, as you say.

[Stugotz]

So did he have the wing tattoos on the neck giveaway?

[Billy]

So this. Yes, this was my next step, Right? My next step on. I'm pretty sure that's Beckham, but there's a lot of tattoos covered.

[Chris]

Yes.

[Billy]

And the ones on the calves I'm pretty sure I recognize. Even though there aren't a great many tattoos that I recognize anywhere. It looks like that might be more David Beckham, even though. Holy shit, did Miami get him the night before? International.

[Stugotz]

What you keep doing. I mean, I don't even know if it was him. David Beckham is known to have fun.

[Roy]

No, hold on.

[Stugotz]

You know, he once met the prince.

[Billy]

But what I'm saying. So imagine. Imagine my surprise right When a man.

[Chris]

That I told me.

[Billy]

Imagine what I'm surprised my surprise when a man that I know to have the stamina of David Beckham enjoys life to be in a supermarket on a. On a Sunday morning and be confused because one of the great legend partiers of my lifetime, international sex symbol, famous for a long time, seemed like he took a loss the night before, tried to have fun with Miami, and Miami ransacked him and threw him in the produce section.

[Roy]

Can I present an alternate theory? Maybe his dog was sick and he was up all night cuz his dog ate all the chocolate that we left out for some reason when we went to dinner. And when he came home, he found the chocolate all eaten, and then he was up all night at the vet and crying because I can't lose another dog like that sitting at a traffic light. And then a cop recognized him and said, are you Dan Lebatard? And also, you shouldn't be on a bicycle. Maybe that happened to him.

[Dan LeBatard]

Drinking. Yeah, I googled. I did Google AI. What kind of milk does David Beckham drink? And according to Google AI, David Beckham primarily drinks oat milk, particularly in his daily lattes. He also enjoys protein shakes with coconut water and a little creatine. Additionally, he drinks Matcha with oat milk.

[Billy]

Not the night before, he didn't.

[Dan LeBatard]

Oh, it might have been a dog thing.

[Billy]

So I don't know. It is reckless. I'm not totally sure, but so I'm. This is the part. And this is where you guys are. This is where you guys are unfair to me. Right? I walked past an employee and I'm like, that's David Beckham. And his response was, no, that isn't. That guy comes in here all the time and everyone thinks it's David Beckham.

[Mike Ryan]

He pays that guy to say that.

[Chris]

I think the Beckhams have five dogs.

[Roy]

A lot of chocolate.

[Billy]

So now I'm leaving the Whole Foods, and I was pretty sure it was David Beckham, but an employee denied it and gave me a story that was like, well, maybe it wasn't that he got ransacked by the night before. It's just a guy that looks like David Beckham and doesn't look as good as David Beckham.

[Mike Ryan]

That person's good at their job.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, he's a good employee, actually. I mean, the answer's been under our nose the entire time. If anybody can mistake David Beckham, it's dance.

[Chris]

Mm.

[Dan LeBatard]

Why?

[Chris]

How's this tie into Lebo?

[Billy]

I'm getting there. Please give me a chance at the tapestry Stugotz. I've got it at the end. It goes from the negroes to the dick joke. Hold on a second. Just wait for it. It's coming, I promise you.

[Chris]

Willie Collie Stein.

[Stugotz]

Good killer.

[Billy]

Where has that one been?

[Dan LeBatard]

In dan's defense at F1, I thought I saw Stassi Schroeder from Vanderpump Rules. And then I was like, it couldn't have been her. And then I checked on Instagram and it was her.

[Billy]

So it's possible Khalid may have been at F1 or definitely there may not. Well, I was gonna say that was Khalid.

[Chris]

You may have seen him or someone else.

[Stugotz]

He also dyes his hair like crazy.

[Billy]

Well, this is what I was gonna say. If you had given me the chance before interrupting me, I didn't know if it was Khaled because you had hair.

[Stugotz]

Well, he had gray hair or no, I mean, Khaled had hair famously.

[Billy]

Whatever he's doing fake upstairs.

[Stugotz]

I mean, there's a lot is obvious.

[Billy]

To all, even me, and I never noticed these things. Unlike international insider Mike Ryan Ruiz.

[Stugotz]

Khaled's of the goats of the game.

[Billy]

Yeah, put it on the poll. Is DJ Khaled's hair situation one of the goats of the game? I want to get back to a second, just for a second. Mike Ryan being surprised that Tom Brady was hanging out with Tai Domi. I don't understand his level of surprise given that. Why wouldn't Tom Brady respect a man who in hockey, one of the toughest of the sports. You know, dirty player, awful player, but respected by all as this human being is tough and is willing to be controversial for being tough. And when I ask, many years later, Stugatz, is Tai Domi's kid as tough as Stugat? Stugatz knows better than to say any of Tai Domi's kids would be as tough as Stugat as Tai Domi.

[Stugotz]

But it is like, they could be friends, but they're really close. Go ahead and Google.

[Billy]

Tom Brady. Really admired the toughest guy in hockey who's a little bit dirty.

[Chris]

But you agree if you ask Tom Brady, like, hey, list me your 10 or 15 closest friends, you would never guess Ty Domi.

[Stugotz]

Like, it's as random a pull as thabocephalosia. Like, it would make no sense. The game's greatest quarterback, one of the most celebrated handsome men in the world. He towers over Tai Domi. What do they have in common? I don't understand this.

[Chris]

Have you ever played in Boston?

[Stugotz]

Beckham and Brady being friends, that makes tons of sense.

[Chris]

Yes.

[Stugotz]

They're constantly. Is t getting invited to all these galas. Has Tai Domi ever received an invitation to the Met? No way. Now, I would have just assumed that Tom Brady's friend group is either former Patriots, Bucks, former Michigan guys, or athletes that also get invites to the Met.

[Roy]

Or the President of the United States.

[Stugotz]

Yes. Yeah. He will refuse to admit that he's wrong.

[Billy]

So I'm leaving the Whole Foods and another employee that I talked there to all the time. And as a sports fan, and we always have sports conversations about things, I'm looking over my shoulder, and I'm now doubting what I think I saw with my own eyes, because an employee had absolutely dissuaded me of this, and it didn't seem like anyone else in the store was reacting around him. But South Florida can be pretty interesting that way in terms of tourism and international things where famous people can go to a Whole Foods and not get noticed because, oh, over there, that's just all Ecuadorian people or whatever. They don't know who the Ecuadorians would recognize. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Doesn't know what David Beckham is or LeBron James or whoever it is would walk into a whole food whatever the nationality would be. We could play that game if you guys want to play that game.

[Stugotz]

I'd have more faith in the Ecuadorians recognizing.

[Billy]

Yes, you're right. It was a bad example by me.

[Dan LeBatard]

The man in the yellow hat from Curious George hat hall of Fame.

[Billy]

What about Tom Landry? Did we ever put him.

[Chris]

Yes.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, but we did. I've never been more certain than anything in my entire life that this was not David Beckham.

[Billy]

Okay, so that's.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm very confused. It may have been an Ecuadorian.

[Billy]

So excellent work, Mike, because this will bring us somewhat full circle before I get to the end of the story with my brother and Adam Silver, because you are gonna have to admit you're wrong again.

[Stugotz]

Ah, damn it. As soon as I said it, I'm like, damn it, he knows it's David Beckham.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Billy]

And I love being able to trap you, even though you're always right. But you're on a new path here. You're growing as a human being. You're willing to admit you're wrong as political platform in America when no one's willing to admit they're wrong.

[Stugotz]

I correct you. I've been on this admitting I'm wrong bandwagon for, like, two years, and you're just getting wise to it.

[Roy]

I've only said two weeks.

[Stugotz]

No, no, no. It's been a thing. I gladly admit that I'm wrong. The 2017 Miami Hurricane season scarred me for life.

[Billy]

And this employee, as I'm leaving, I say to him, I'm pretty sure that was David Beckham. And he's like, I don't think it was. And I'm like, your guy said that that wasn't David Beckham, but that looked like David Beckham. Why aren't. Can you go find out if that was David Beckham?

[Roy]

You said that to the employee?

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Billy]

Yeah. Well, because. Because of this. Because of this. Because if I tell you guys the story, I have to have the punchline. It's all content.

[Stugotz]

That is a crazy thing to ask.

[Roy]

That is wild. But also, I'm thinking about the employee who listened to you, who's like, the.

[Stugotz]

Employee that insisted that it's not David Beckham.

[Billy]

No, no, wait a minute. No, wait a minute. No, you got it wrong. No, this is Steve Wolf's daughter.

[Stugotz]

Well, then I hand up. I'm sorry, I got it wrong. You can't have a name Steve and then just name your daughter Eve.

[Chris]

I can't do it.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, I'm just. Look, I know I was trying to protect. But, like, come on.

[Dan LeBatard]

Eve Wolf is related to Steve Wolf?

[Mike Ryan]

You have a son named Ste.

[Stugotz]

That's ridiculous.

[Billy]

Cleave Wolf.

[Mike Ryan]

Come here. Steh.

[Billy]

Where's Eve?

[Stugotz]

That's weird. I mean, I guess it's kind of funny.

[Dan LeBatard]

If you named your daughter, even would it be E V, E N or E P? H E, N? Wow. Gotta go with the E. Yeah, I would do pH.

[Stugotz]

So you asked another employee?

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Did you offer a tip?

[Billy]

I'm sorry, I'm still not the same from the Negroes, But I have now been undercut by Steve Wolf's daughter, so I am not myself right now. I need to gather myself for a second.

[Chris]

Which one is Lebo's daughter?

[Billy]

We're getting there.

[Chris]

Domi and Brady are best friends. So are the kids.

[Dan LeBatard]

So weird, right?

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

Famous people, they just all know each other.

[Chris]

But that's a weird.

[Billy]

Well, you would think so, but at.

[Roy]

Whole Foods, they didn't Charles Manson.

[Mike Ryan]

So what did that person. What did the employee do once you gave him a task?

[Billy]

I understand how you think this is rude. Again, you guys are listening to portions and pieces of the story and not all of the story, because in your zeal to make fun of me and make this story less good than it actually is, I can't actually get the story out.

[Chris]

Land the plane, Daniel.

[Billy]

I'm trying, but it's A Wild Billy Wednesday.

[Dan LeBatard]

Dude, the rehearsal is crazy.

[Stugotz]

It is nuts. Crazy.

[Billy]

That's how good that show is. It is nuts. I mean, that's one of the best shows in the history of television.

[Roy]

We watched the first episode, and he did this whole thing with the pilots were like. And he recreated the. The Houston airport. And I said, it can't get crazier than this. And then episode two, we see the Paramount plus Germany and Jeff the pilot. And I'm like, it can't get crazier than this. And then episode three, he recreates Sully Sullenberger's life from birth, including breastfeeding.

[Dan LeBatard]

That segment was brought to you by hbo Max. HBO Max. We pay podcasts to talk about our shows.

[Stugotz]

I think. I think it's just called Max. And our show is available on there.

[Dan LeBatard]

They also don't pay us. That was a joke. But people think they do to talk about their shows.

[Chris]

So.

[Roy]

Eve Wolf. Huh?

[Stugotz]

This is a thing on Wild Billy Wednesday.

[Dan LeBatard]

Huh?

[Chris]

Aqua.

[Billy]

Wild Billy Wednesday. I did not send or summon someone with a task.

[Chris]

Huh?

[Mike Ryan]

Go find out if that's actually.

[Stugotz]

Hold on. Go find out if that's David Beckham.

[Dan LeBatard]

Did you get off your horse when you asked him to do that?

[Stugotz]

I admitted that I was wrong because apparently this is David Beckham. All right. We'll get there. But that is 100% giving someone a task, and I will not get off this hill.

[Mike Ryan]

Stop stalking that shelf for a second and run to the back.

[Billy]

All right, so let me retell the story and see if I can get to the end of it and retail the story. All this up.

[Chris]

Tai Domi taught Tom Brady how to skate.

[Stugotz]

Wait, what?

[Billy]

That's amazing.

[Mike Ryan]

I want to play Mike's game now and just watch that.

[Stugotz]

It's a good game.

[Billy]

It's a great game. Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Just moments in time. You get one a day, and it's like one interaction.

[Billy]

I'd like a daily nominee, like I want to do right now. A daily nominee of just one thing you get to watch. Because this Beckham. This would not be a watch. You would be disappointed in this one. You would not pick this one. Or if you did pick the interaction between me and Beckham. Beckham. It wouldn't have gone well, but I misrepresented it the way that I framed it and saying I sent him with a task. A sports. Sports fan I see at Whole Foods almost all the time, who happens to work there, who I have near daily conversations with about sports. As I'm leaving Whole Foods, and I'm doubting whether or not. What I just saw was real. And I'm thinking, can I bring anything in here on Monday that you fish will feed on? I say to him, we're always talking about the podcast, the show. He loves the show. I think that was Beckham. Was that Beckham? And so he's like, I'll go find out. Like, I'll go figure this out. Because I'm looking, and I'm not saying go. Do that for me.

[Stugotz]

Okay, well, then I admit I was wrong.

[Billy]

No, that's. And fine, you're gonna be wrong on both fronts. But he then confirmed that it was indeed David Beckham, because by the time he got there, people were already taking pictures and doing stuff with David Beckham. But I was in the front of Whole Foods. And of course, there's international sex symbol Gary Furman to confirm the report that I was very wrong and he didn't have a haggard night.

[Stugotz]

Or maybe he gaggle of Ecuadorians.

[Dan LeBatard]

I don't know. Like you've seen in la. There's, like, fake, you know, Power Rangers outside. That's not the real Power Rangers. It could be no impersonator taking pictures.

[Stugotz]

I'm no Latino.

[Billy]

That's not what happened. Confirming, please, kids. Did you talk to him?

[Dan LeBatard]

Did you go up and say hi?

[Billy]

I did not. I was close enough to smell him, though. Oh, and smelled like last night.

[Dan LeBatard]

Oh, wow. This again.

[Billy]

You brought it up.

[Chris]

Ty Domi was a place kicker.

[Roy]

So the quilt, like Sirhan Sirhan. Usc Stuh.

[Billy]

Don't talk back to Eve.

[Stugotz]

We just talk.

[Billy]

Like.

[Stugotz]

It's pretty crazy of a move.

[Billy]

I mean, Dion. Dion. Dion's son is. Shador is famous, but I think he's got several kids named Dion, and I think his daughter's named Deondra.

[Roy]

No one beats George Foreman.

[Billy]

George Foreman, he's got nine Georges. But he doesn't have a Georgina item.

[Roy]

Yes, he does. He does.

[Stugotz]

He's got a Georgina.

[Billy]

Confirming I'm wrong, admitting I'm wrong.

[Stugotz]

We attacked you. It feels good.

[Billy]

It does. I have it. Why don't. I don't like to do it.

[Stugotz]

Why are you so pigheaded?

[Billy]

Stubborn, prideful, ego males. That's it. That's it.

[Stugotz]

It's dumb.

[Billy]

Yes, it is.

[Stugotz]

It's really dumb.

[Billy]

That's right.

[Stugotz]

Oh, I didn't think that movie was gonna be good, and it turned out to be good. And I enjoyed it. Like, that's a good feeling too.

[Roy]

Thai, dummy.

[Billy]

So my brother's sitting next to Adam Silver.

[Chris]

Thank you.

[Billy]

And we're in a loud restaurant, and it's very loud and there are powerful people there. And my brother doesn't care. My brother never cared around powerful people. Or he always liked it to deflate the balloon. And as I said, he accused Adam Silver, I think, yeah, I'm pretty sure Adam to Adam Silver, of coming in with a parasol because he thought that was more derisive than umbrella. So that's where the bidding started on the relationship between my brother and Adam Silver. And I was scared when they sat next to each other. And Adam Silver is a charming and nice man. And he is much smarter than Roger. Good.

[Stugotz]

Do you think it's that girl Liba that works here?

[Roy]

Oh, maybe wondered about her.

[Chris]

I was thinking that, like, I've never.

[Stugotz]

Heard this name before.

[Billy]

And I'm getting uncomfortable because my brother, again, it's very loud and it's becoming like, sort of animated in, in that my brother's like, there's some histrionics involved and he's not mad at Adam Silver, but I can't tell if he's joking or not or like, but, but, but he's elevated. My brother is elevated. And when, when I finally hear what it is that my brother said, like, and I'm not even sure I heard it, I had to do with David Beckham and sort of confirm it because of how loud it was. It was indeed that my brother said, what? What, a dude can't tell a couple of dick jokes?
