The episode, recorded at the Elser Hotel in Downtown Miami, offers listeners a mix of lighthearted conversations and insightful takes on current events in sports and entertainment.

---

1. Parking Practices Showdown

The episode kicks off with an animated debate on parking habits, particularly the merits and drawbacks of backing into parking spaces versus front-in parking.

• Billy opens the discussion humorously by questioning his ability to commit crimes efficiently based on his parking style:

  "What is the level of an IOU for bringing someone to the Eastern Conference finals for free in New York at Madison Square Garden?" ([04:06])

• Stugotz emphasizes the safety and convenience of backing into a spot:

  "When you're backing into a parking lot, you're good, right? Parking spot, you're good." ([08:14])

• Dan Le Batard adds a strategic twist by likening backing into a spot to selfish driving:

  "The back end guy, though, is just in general, that person is selfish. Because you have to do a three point turn at times." ([08:47])

The conversation highlights personal preferences and the practical implications of different parking methods, all while maintaining a humorous tone.

2. Sydney Sweeney's Bathwater Bliss Soap

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing a quirky pop culture phenomenon: the launch of "Sydney's Bathwater Bliss," a soap product allegedly infused with actress Sydney Sweeney's bathwater, produced in partnership with Dr. Squatch.

• Billy expresses skepticism and discomfort regarding the concept:

  "It's soap made of dirty water." ([27:43])

• Chris Cody defends the product humorously:

  "Dr. Squatch never would." ([27:52])

• Stugotz questions the hygiene and marketing ethics:

  "What are we hoping for here, Jeremy, with the bathwater thing?" ([35:05])

The hosts dissect the idea with a mix of mockery and curiosity, pondering the marketing strategies behind celebrity-endorsed products and the bizarre intersection of fame and consumer goods.

3. NBA Finals and the New York Knicks

The hosts transition into a spirited discussion about the NBA Finals, focusing on the New York Knicks' prospects and their significance in the league.

• Dan Le Batard speculates on the NBA's preferences:

  "I mean, there's no way. The NBA does not want a game seven at Madison Square Garden." ([15:21])

• Mike Ryan highlights the Knicks' rising national profile and celebrity presence:

  "I think the Knicks are gaining a level of stardom nationally that the franchise hasn't had in a while." ([16:12])

• Stugotz contemplates the NBA's broader strategy:

  "Do you want everybody to be talking about how two small markets are the NBA Finals?" ([16:56])

The conversation underscores the Knicks' resurgence in popularity, the role of celebrity fans like Timothée Chalamet, and the implications for the NBA's visibility and market dynamics.

4. Stanley Cup Final Insights: Panthers vs. Edmonton Oilers

Shifting gears to hockey, the hosts analyze the ongoing Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers, incorporating local superstitions and team performance.

• Roy explains a team superstition regarding touching the conference championship trophy:

  "Last year Edmonton didn't touch the trophy, lost. So now they touched it this year." ([38:19])

• Dan Le Batard remarks on the psychological aspects of team rituals:

  "They won it by not touching it. What?" ([39:25])

• Stugotz and Billy debate the actual impact of these superstitions on team morale and performance:

  "It seems like maybe touching the trophy doesn't actually impact. Or is it all psychological?" ([39:32])

This segment blends sports analysis with humor, exploring how traditions and superstitions might influence team outcomes in high-stakes competitions.

5. Impulse Buying and Candy in Checkout Lines

Amidst discussions on sports and quirky products, the hosts take a lighthearted detour into the psychology of impulse buying, particularly focusing on candy placed in store checkout lines.

• Billy shares his experiences and frustrations with impulse purchases:

  "Sometimes it makes me wonder, why do I even try?" ([36:20])

• Stugotz and Dan Le Batard contribute by recalling similar shopping scenarios:

  "That's the only way I buy lip balm if I see it in one of those lines." ([33:14])

The conversation highlights common retail strategies aimed at increasing sales and the hosts' personal anecdotes underscore the universal temptation of last-minute additions to purchases.

6. Miscellaneous Banter and Humor

Throughout the episode, the hosts engage in playful ribbing, jokes about potential crimes, and humorous takes on everyday situations, maintaining a lively and entertaining atmosphere.

• Billy jokingly contemplates effective bank robbery strategies:

  "It's so efficient and so quick. If we could do that a couple more times, we may be able to pull something off here." ([10:37])

• Roy and Chris Cody participate in banter about being getaway drivers and the reliability of their crew:

  "Be a great getaway driver." ([14:05])

This segment showcases the camaraderie among the hosts and their ability to infuse humor into diverse topics, keeping the conversation dynamic and engaging.

[Billy]

This is the Dan Levator show with the stuff. Hello.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hey, Billy.

[Billy]

Hi. Hello. Happy Friday, everybody.

[Dan Le Batard]

God bless Friday.

[Billy]

Can't do that anymore. Oh, that's too bad. Yeah, last episode's out today. God bless football on metal art. Check it out. Subscribe, all that stuff.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes.

[Billy]

See you guys later. Yeah. You're done with us.

[Chris Cody]

Today's your last day. Thank God.

[Billy]

Well, thanks. Not yet.

[Chris Cody]

Not used to.

[Billy]

I mean. Billy. No, you can stay. I got to be surprised. I didn't expect to be sitting in this seat today.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why? Whenever Dan's not here, I like this seat. I'm comfortable in this seat. Israel sits in that seat. When Dan's not here, most people sit in that seat. Because I don't want to sit in that seat.

[Billy]

Why is that?

[Dan Le Batard]

Because the show is the Dan Le Batard show with Stugot, and I hang off to the side like a little, like a toenail. And so here I am. This is me, like, on the side of Dan's foot.

[Billy]

Okay, that's just disgusting.

[Stugotz]

It is?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Last time I was on the show, Stu, you were in Dan's seat and I was in your seat.

[Dan Le Batard]

Really?

[Stugotz]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Valhalla.

[Billy]

Yeah. So we got the text yesterday saying you want to sit in the. In the studio with Stu Guatz. And I was like, yes. I just assumed I'd be sitting in Stu Gotz's seat. And like three minutes ago, he's like, so you're gonna sit in dance seat today? I'm like, sure.

[Stugotz]

I guess you're in charge, Billy. We're all just gonna stare at you and see where we go next.

[Billy]

That's not great for everyone involved because the things that I have written down are side view mirrors are too advanced. Learning to play H worst things that you stepped on. Barefoot obscure bumper stickers. The rehearsal, which Is everyone wants to talk about the rehearsal.

[Stugotz]

Don't forget about my favorite, Sydney Sweeney's Bathwater. So.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, wow. Don't leave out the Knicks.

[Billy]

I mean, I will get there. Maybe Taylor's at the game. Should we have him zoom in and tell us about it?

[Dan Le Batard]

He did go to the game last night.

[Roy]

He's still there.

[Dan Le Batard]

He is still there. He got a face value ticket, and that's a bad job out of his friend who only charged him face value. When you have gold in your hand, sell it for the price of gold. Okay.

[Mike Ryan]

Even to friends.

[Billy]

I mean. Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, yes.

[Billy]

He told me how he got it, and it was like. It was kind of a funny story of who got it for him and how it is that he got it. I thought it was a very nice gesture, particularly because I don't think this person is particularly close to Taylor and got him a face value ticket. If you were getting him a ticket, you would upcharge him.

[Dan Le Batard]

If I was getting a ticket and the person that was supposed to come with me couldn't go, and I knew that ticket was worth fifteen hundred dollars. I'm not selling it unless it's, you know, a brother or my best friend. I'm charging you. Absolutely.

[Stugotz]

How does he know what face value is? There's not physical tickets that show you the dollar amount on it. So whatever he tells you the amount is, that's what he says the amount is, right? That's what you believe.

[Mike Ryan]

How about if it's a friend, you bring that friend for free so that they owe you. And for here going forward, you know, they owe you one and they owe you one. That could be about 3,000.

[Billy]

That's a big ou.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's a. It's a big iou.

[Mike Ryan]

You want a big iou in your life, you want to have one of those on lock.

[Dan Le Batard]

But you really need to trust the friend that you're bringing.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, it depends on how close that friend is.

[Dan Le Batard]

Because you put me in that spot and I make an iou. I'm going to sit in that seat for free, enjoy the game, and never pay you back.

[Billy]

What is the level of an IOU for bringing someone to the Eastern Conference finals for free in New York at Madison Square Garden?

[Chris Cody]

Helping you move from like one walk up to another walk up probably move is a good.

[Dan Le Batard]

I like that.

[Billy]

I think it's like, hey, my back is killing.

[Chris Cody]

I need you to.

[Billy]

I think it's like a hit so far, right?

[Dan Le Batard]

And then you pay a guy and you send. You send him over. You send a mover an actual mover.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Hey, where's Taylor?

[Billy]

I don't know.

[Mike Ryan]

Hold on. Billy, just say it's like a hit.

[Stugotz]

Yeah. He wants to kill somebody.

[Billy]

No, I didn't want to, but I'm. I. I wouldn't want to. That's why I would bring my friends to the Eastern Conference finals. So that.

[Mike Ryan]

That way one day, you know, that.

[Billy]

Favor, he just kind of get rid of this person a little bit. You know what I mean?

[Mike Ryan]

That makes sense.

[Stugotz]

Yeah. No, I know exactly what you mean, and I'm a little bit afraid.

[Billy]

Well, no, I wouldn't kill you. I wouldn't kill anyone. Obviously, I would take someone to a basketball game instead.

[Dan Le Batard]

Billy, kill you.

[Billy]

Do that with anything that, like, is somewhat.

[Dan Le Batard]

I do, yes.

[Billy]

You yesterday called me Billy Pill.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right. Well, you were talking about drugs. I mean, really through.

[Billy]

That is true.

[Chris Cody]

What were you talking about drugs for?

[Billy]

Well, check out the latest episode. Gavos Football. Subscribe now. We were talking about Stefan Diggs and how a statement was made about the pink stuff that was on the boat with him, and he had a pink substance on the bow with him.

[Stugotz]

What was that?

[Billy]

I had to. I had to go around and ask people what it was because I. And I admitted on this show, I was like, I know this might shock a lot of people. I know. You see, Billy, you're like, that's a big drug guy. But I'm not a big drug guy. So I had to go around and I had to ask people what it was.

[Chris Cody]

Who gave you the answer?

[Billy]

A surprising source, to be honest with you.

[Roy]

Has anyone considered that it was a gender reveal?

[Chris Cody]

No.

[Dan Le Batard]

No.

[Billy]

People were revealing their genders that day for sure on that boat, but it was not surprise.

[Roy]

It's a girl.

[Stugotz]

The pink stuff makes you take your clothes off is what you're saying.

[Billy]

I'm saying clothes seem to be coming off on some of those videos that we saw. Whether the pink stuff was leading to the clothes coming off or not is anyone's, you know, guess.

[Dan Le Batard]

But what was it? I mean, the pink.

[Chris Cody]

It's called tusi.

[Dan Le Batard]

What is?

[Chris Cody]

To see if you don't know.

[Dan Le Batard]

If you don't know, you don't know.

[Stugotz]

Like a battery size.

[Billy]

Yeah. Educate.

[Chris Cody]

I don't know anything.

[Mike Ryan]

No.

[Billy]

Anybody? I know you looked it up. You're making yourself sound more suspicious.

[Chris Cody]

Did I look anything up? Izzy, do you have.

[Billy]

Do I have That's.

[Roy]

He's trying to cut a picture of you, Billy.

[Stugotz]

He's just looking at you.

[Billy]

I'm trying to help him here, and he doesn't understand I think he thinks.

[Dan Le Batard]

He'S trying to help us.

[Chris Cody]

No, I was told in my ear. I didn't look anything up.

[Stugotz]

I'm just saying, usually the stuff that's, like, either pink or purple that I hear about in songs is in, like, double styrofoam cups with, like, liquid. It's not just, like, spread everywhere.

[Roy]

Purple drank.

[Billy]

Oh, boy.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah. No, he's right.

[Roy]

I've heard.

[Billy]

I think Chris Cody is stealing my unassigned parking spot. And it's a conversation that we could.

[Roy]

Have had off air, so it's taking mine.

[Billy]

Okay.

[Roy]

It's like, I like. We like to both like to park next to a pillar.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Roy]

So if that.

[Dan Le Batard]

You should have parked in Dan's today.

[Billy]

I mean, if I don't have access to this garage.

[Roy]

I thought you go left to the pillar.

[Billy]

No, I. So here's the thing. We have to park in a different garage, and you walk over here.

[Roy]

The Peasant garage.

[Billy]

I call the Peasant Garage. Yeah. Makes you wonder how long do you work here before you're out of the peasant garage. But 19 years ago, somehow, Kristen works in garage. Oh, she's in charge of assigning the parking spaces. And she gave herself the parking space.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wait, Kristen has a spot in this garage?

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Does she realize Stu got is strong in her?

[Billy]

So does car.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wow.

[Billy]

She's not even here. Well, that's not nice.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Come on. They're trying to hide out there. I didn't find them.

[Dan Le Batard]

I didn't say who. Like, who is that person? I didn't hear the name that came out of your mouth.

[Billy]

Okay, who was it? So, anywho, there's not a sign parking that other garage, and as a result, we kind of just have, like, our spaces that we like. And now we all have to, like, change spaces because Jason steals my spot all the time too.

[Roy]

He's a backing.

[Dan Le Batard]

Who?

[Roy]

Yeah, you know, Jason's a big back end guy.

[Billy]

He's a. Eating all our food or stealing our spaces.

[Dan Le Batard]

I hate the back end guy.

[Roy]

Roy's one of those.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why do you have to back into a parking spot?

[Billy]

Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'll back in when I don't have anybody behind me.

[Roy]

You realize the time. The time you're saving on the way out, you're wasting on the front end.

[Stugotz]

I love this conversation.

[Billy]

The I will. I will come out and I will admit I. I am a back end guy at times. Also, depending on the car I'm driving, I'm a back in guy. Right now. The backing in and the spaces in this garage make absolutely no sense because they're angled. So it's so inconvenient to le because you have to drive sideways against traffic. It's not. It makes no sense to back into the spaces in this garage.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think the back end guy, though, is just in general, that person is selfish. Because you have to do a three point turn at times, again to the spot. You are preventing other people from getting parking spots. That's what you're doing.

[Billy]

Which again, I don't do when somebody's behind me.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right.

[Stugotz]

Can I offer. It is something of a safety situation. Like it's safer. Like when you're backing into a parking lot, you're good, right? Parking spot, you're good. There's not that you're hoping there's not any people around you. Whatever. When you're leaving and you don't have to back out and do all that maneuvering and you don't know who's. If you just get to go forward and get out of there, it's a little bit easier to get out. So it's safer for everybody around. I think it's it too.

[Chris Cody]

If you need to make a hurried exit.

[Billy]

Izzy's a backing guy all of a sudden.

[Stugotz]

You know what? I used to not be a backing guy. I used to be just like you guys. But then Anthony's a former firefighter, so he used to drive the actual truck.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right.

[Stugotz]

He had the little. The med. Whatever. The little.

[Roy]

What is it?

[Stugotz]

The people go anyway. Rescue. There it is.

[Mike Ryan]

The fire truck.

[Stugotz]

And so. No, it's the little one. The little one where, you know, you take people ambulance. And so like, he was like a big back end guy. And then I started, like, doing it with my side view mirrors like you're supposed to. As opposed to any of the other tricks. And I was like, this is kind of fun. It's a good way to test the brain. It's like, ooh, do. Am I seeing things properly? Okay, I'm in.

[Billy]

You used to be, like, backing in before there were the backup cameras in every car was an art. Like, you were like a great driver if you could back in without a backup camera. It's too easy. Mirrors. It really is. It's a cheat code. Now anyone can back in.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why did Tony make us and put us in a getaway?

[Chris Cody]

Well, I mean, just in case you need to make a quick getaway.

[Billy]

He's not wrong.

[Chris Cody]

You haul ass. You. I don't have to back up. There's an old. Oh, sorry.

[Billy]

Excuse me.

[Roy]

I got to go. Okay. What if I'M being chased and I need to make a quick arrival. Now I'm not going to back in because that's not the way to do it. Inefficient.

[Chris Cody]

So you're getting chased, but then you want to stop the car and then get.

[Roy]

If somebody is being chased in a car and they need to park, get out and run away before the person chasing them catches them. They're not backing, but they're going to.

[Chris Cody]

Be in a car and then you're going to be running and then they're going to catch you because they're not going out.

[Billy]

You guys ever do anything so efficiently that you're like, I think I could. I think I could commit crimes and like get away.

[Stugotz]

What is going on with Billy? Like he wants to commit crimes.

[Dan Le Batard]

Drug addict Billy kill.

[Roy]

I want to peel this on Billy.

[Billy]

I admitted that I wasn't.

[Roy]

What have you done efficiently that you've thought you could commit crime?

[Billy]

Not too long ago, I. I went to the atm, I needed cash. I was giving cash, someone for something, probably my drug.

[Roy]

And you're like, no receipt. I don't need a receipt.

[Billy]

And no, no. So I go and I. And I wasn't driving. I was dre. Exactly. The pink substance. So I was going. And I was dropped off in the front of the bank because we weren't going to go through the drive through. There's a long line. I'm like, it'll just be quicker if you drop me off. So I get dropped off at the door. Then the person that dropped me off goes turns around the car and when they came back, I was already done and I got in the car and I was like, probably gonna rob a bank. Like I was. It was so efficient and so quick. Like if we. A couple more run throughs here and we may be able to pull something off here, you know, a heist. The problem is with the successful heist and my, my co. Heister who was the driver, the getaway driver at the time told, told me, said, I used to think about that as a kid. I used to think I could do that. The problem with it now though is now there's too many federal agencies that get involved. And now it's not like you could just go and rob a bank and then that'll be done with it. You'll get caught because you get cocky. You'll rob more than one bank. And now because of the federal agencies involved, it's like a big to do. It's a whole thing. They're all going to come after you can't really get away with it anymore.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, the good old days. You know the best time to park in backwards or parallel park, when you've got other people in the car, you're just trying to impress them a little.

[Billy]

Bit, and you do it.

[Stugotz]

To have confidence in it. I'm telling you, either parallel parking or backing into a parking lot, it's the straightest thing.

[Dan Le Batard]

Parallel parking. People are impressed. I impressed my wife with that all the time. When we go to Chicago, no one is impressed with the person who backs into a spot.

[Mike Ryan]

But if you do it smooth enough.

[Roy]

I'm in the back of your car rolling my eyes.

[Stugotz]

Not if you're paying attention to how smooth it is. It's 1, 2, 3, bam, we're in here. You open your eyes, and you're just like, wait, how did we get in.

[Mike Ryan]

The spot so quick?

[Stugotz]

Just a way that I don't know why your eyes are closing.

[Roy]

I'm nudging my car.

[Mike Ryan]

My buddy who rented the car. Unbelievable. My friend Zach, he's just driving up. I thought, oh, he's looking for a spot.

[Dan Le Batard]

Boom.

[Mike Ryan]

Puts the car in reverse, immediately swivels in the spot behind me. I'll be honest. I was impressed.

[Roy]

I'm nudging my wife, being like, this guy.

[Stugotz]

And your wife secretly impressed this guy?

[Billy]

Hell, yeah. She's like, whoa, why did I settle for Chris? He came back into a spot. You guys ever, like, try to parallel park and just give up and drive away? Because, like, my wife is not going to happen.

[Mike Ryan]

Several times.

[Billy]

I'm embarrassed. I'm leaving. I don't want to see these people.

[Stugotz]

Again if somebody's sitting there watching.

[Dan Le Batard]

So will you avoid a parking spot if you know you have to parallel park? Like, you'll just find the next spot, a bigger spot.

[Billy]

Sometimes I'll see you like, oh, no, too tight. Too tight.

[Mike Ryan]

Depends on the amount of traffic behind me, right? Like, if I know that I'm. I'm good to give this two or three attempts before the next car is going to show up, then I have that leeway, and I'll give it a shot, even if it's a tight space. But if I know there are cars behind me that are waiting and I have to do this on one try, there's about a zero percent chance that I'm going to attempt it to parallel park.

[Billy]

I'm not a terrible parallel parker, but I have had the situation where I go, like, if it's like, one too many times, then I'm like, all right, I'm out of here. Like, forget about it. And sometimes.

[Stugotz]

And if there's people watching, just buy a new car.

[Billy]

Sometimes I just want to see it again. Yeah. If I'm at the beach or something like, never mind. We're going to go 20 blocks up. And that's the situation.

[Dan Le Batard]

If you were to rob a bank, Billy and I believe you could pull it off. Who would you trust most out of this crew? Who would you trust most in terms of the getaway car?

[Billy]

Because I think it's Tony.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes.

[Billy]

I would have Tony on my crew to be the fall guy. I think just in case, Roy would.

[Roy]

Be a great getaway driver.

[Billy]

Buddy.

[Chris Cody]

The moment they bring in a large pizza and a soda, I'm telling them exactly who playing.

[Billy]

Really? You singing like a canary.

[Chris Cody]

Exactly right. You're using me as the fall guys.

[Billy]

You strike me very much as a guy that says snitches get stitches.

[Chris Cody]

Zazzle said that earlier this.

[Billy]

This week, I think what that you would say that you're a snitch. Said snitches gets to you strike me as someone who would have that as like, their mantra. Maybe get it as like a tattoo on you maiden date. Like, born raised.

[Stugotz]

I think you're right. He's not a great getaway. He's too tall. Like, getting in and out. If he has to get into the car real quick, it's not going to happen. We know Chris well.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, the guy in the getaway car stays in the getaway.

[Stugotz]

Stays in it. Okay, then that's all right. Chris is not. Chris when he drives, follows all the rules. He's like, oh, yeah. Cheaters never prosper. Like, that's all. That's all crazy. He can't be the driver.

[Billy]

Huh?

[Roy]

Roy is. Can lead foot roll. Get us out of here quick.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

The problem is you can't go too fast because once you escape the drop.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

You can't draw too much attention by flying everywhere. You got to get maneuverability. Right in and out, in and out. All of a sudden, you make a right on a street, and then you're driving normal.

[Stugotz]

Also, somehow it's going to be more difficult for Roy to escape the cops.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

I can't explain why I was gonna ask.

[Dan Le Batard]

What do you mean by that?

[Stugotz]

Just historically, numbers wise. I know. We're a numbers podcast. Numbers not so good for him.

[Chris Cody]

We're a math friends podcast.

[Billy]

I don't think any of us would be in his math friends. I wasn't here for the math friends conversation, but I'm not in the math friends.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, Dan's math Friends said the Knicks are, are better than the Pacers.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, the Knicks. Finally.

[Billy]

Speaking of backing in, Nick's gonna back into the NBA Finals here or what's going on?

[Dan Le Batard]

They're gonna back into a game seven, I could tell you that much. I mean, there's no way. The NBA does not want a game seven at Madison Square Garden.

[Chris Cody]

Can you imagine?

[Dan Le Batard]

Right. I mean, the Pacers are fighting against everything. They're fighting against the team that the NBA. Well, they're fighting against the team that the NBA. We know the NBA wants the Knicks of the NBA Finals. We know that.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Whether they could pull it off or not, it's yet to be seen. But we do know that they would prefer that over a Pacers Oklahoma City final, which is a complete disaster. No one's going to sell me on the notion of that's a good NBA Finals. It's not. No one wants to see that. Nobody.

[Billy]

Well, if the Knicks make it to the NBA Finals, they get swept by Oklahoma City. Is that any better? Would you rather have like a seven game.

[Mike Ryan]

Nope.

[Billy]

Pacers Thunder series or a four game Oklahoma City sweep over the Knicks?

[Dan Le Batard]

What do you think the NBA would.

[Chris Cody]

Prefer everything to go game seven with the biggest markets?

[Dan Le Batard]

No, but in that scenario they get a great series. Thunder and Pacers or the Knicks get swept in four.

[Roy]

They'd rather have a seven game series, I think.

[Stugotz]

Well, if you're the NBA, that's actually a great question. Do you just want the right now of hey, give me one big market, one series, let me get those ratings, or do you want everybody to be talking about how two small markets are the NBA Finals and any team can win the NBA championship, so all the fan bases should be tuned in. I honestly don't know the answer to that question. I'm just throwing it out there.

[Mike Ryan]

I do think that the Knicks are, are gaining a level of stardom nationally that the franchise hasn't had in a while in terms of actual success when it comes to, you know, Jalen Brunson. And then you've got all the celebrities back courtside that, that they finally modernized in having people like Timothy Chalamet and even Ben Stiller around. And then Indiana can only benefit from getting there and building the star of Tyrese Halliburton as a villain going up against the Thunder. And really what's interesting is like a lot of people hate the Thunder too. So you'll have these two young point guards that you've built around that you can see for futures in these two small markets. To me, the Best thing for the NBA is the Knicks have already gotten the shine. Going to the Finals. Not going to change anything if the Thunder are still going to win no matter what, because they're going to go down as one of the most dominant teams of all time regardless.

[Roy]

I didn't like what I saw last game courtside with all the celebrities. I saw Susie Essman from Curb youb Enthusiasm get relegated to third row. Miles Teller shows up. I haven't seen him.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's a Philly fan, by the way.

[Roy]

That's what I'm saying. Just because he's friends with Chalamet. Miles, is this how this works with their. Like.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, Chalamet has two seats.

[Roy]

I just imagine whoever's in charge of this with the Knicks, they. They must have just an insane list of celebrities. And it's like, I only have so many courtside seats. Susie Essman, I've from Curb. She's in the third row here. She looks pissed. The whole time. Has been a courtside person. Every game, they show her courtside. And this game, inexplicably, third row, looking not happy because Miles Teller just showed up out of left field.

[Billy]

Let me ask you a question. Had Larry showed up? Miles is in the third row.

[Roy]

That's what she's saying. I think that's what she's saying. If Larry's here, do I get to be in there? Like, what is this?

[Billy]

Larry and Timothy Chalamet next to each other. Oh, that's a photo.

[Stugotz]

That's got to have audio with it.

[Chris Cody]

Can you complain if you get the tickets for free? I think because you have Suzy Usman paying multiple thousands of dollars for.

[Roy]

No, no, no, no. I think that she probably gets hooked up.

[Chris Cody]

So if they're comped and they tell you, hey, instead of third, we're going to throw. To your point, but complain about.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, but ego is involved there.

[Roy]

Right to your point. I don't think she's, like, actually mad at the Knicks people, because it's like, I get it. Miles Teller's. I'm mad at Miles Teller. Why are you.

[Stugotz]

Does he belong there with Chalamet? Is he on that level of celebrity?

[Roy]

Yeah, I think that's more. I think that's more Chalamet sending a text. Hey, I want to sit next to mine.

[Dan Le Batard]

I know, but since Top Gun.

[Stugotz]

Right.

[Mike Ryan]

You think Chalamet needs the rub of Miles Teller.

[Roy]

No, I'm saying I think Chalamet is the king there right now. And if Chalamet sends a text, hey, I want to send. Miles is coming, and I Want to.

[Dan Le Batard]

Say what you're saying, right?

[Dan Le Batard]

Don LeBatard.

[Billy]

We didn't get to your guys against the spread.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're right, you're right, you're right, dude. I don't have an against the spread because I wasn't prepared for this segment.

[Billy]

You need an Ian in your life.

[Dan Le Batard]

You have actively played defense against me today in a way that has rarely been this undercutting.

[Mike Ryan]

Stugats.

[Billy]

Defense wins championships, baby. That's show business. This is the Dan lebatar show with the stugats. I'm conflicted on Chalamet. I'm a little conflicted on him.

[Dan Le Batard]

What?

[Billy]

And I know everyone is gonna cr. Crap all over me.

[Stugotz]

No, no, I'm with you here.

[Billy]

Well, no. You haven't even heard where I've gone.

[Stugotz]

No, but I think I'm with you.

[Billy]

You're gonna tell me why this is ridiculous. So Chalamet, lifelong Knicks fan, right? That's what we've seen. He was there. He won shoes or whatever. Was a child winning contest. Players were hiding things. Whatever. Right? Big time Knicks fan.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes.

[Billy]

If I'm Chalamet. And this is where you guys are gonna jump on me. If I'm Chalamet, I'm like, Nah, like, I'm a Knicks fan. Like, I want to be in the three hundreds. Like, I want to be in the seats that I was in when I grew up. I want to be like, with the real Knicks fans. Like, now we're kind of crossing a line here. We're going to like the celebrity status where it's like, right. If you want to be a Knicks fan, you want to really be like a man of the people. Go.

[Stugotz]

You've got to get the people who spent his life training to be an actor and stand out and entertain people.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Just being in the crowd with everybody.

[Billy]

Yeah. I mean, that's what a Knicks fan is.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think if you have courtside for regular season games, you should have courtside all the way through. I'm with Billy. It feels like, you know, a lot of celebrities coming lately. You know, it's like they just got here. They just got to the party because they want to be seen and because the Knicks are finally good. Where are you? Game 32 on a Tuesday night against, you know, Charlotte.

[Roy]

I am curious. I'm curious where. Shalom. Because if he's this big a Knicks fan, he must have been going to Knicks games previous season. Where was he sitting before he played Bob Dylan?

[Billy]

Exactly. No, that's where he should be sitting.

[Roy]

Last season, you think he was like a 100 level guy?

[Billy]

I feel like maybe he was third row.

[Roy]

Maybe he was Susie Essman last year.

[Billy]

Call me. No chance. He was not third row.

[Roy]

I think last year he had already done Dune. I think last year he was third row guy.

[Billy]

Call me crazy, but I think if you gave me. So me and Timothy, who was Tim or Timmy in the video, but now he's become Timothy while he was a child and he was a Knicks fan. So if me and Tim were together in a room and I got to choose Tim's clothes and Tim had no security or anything, I think that I could get tim in the 300 levels unnoticed. I think that people wouldn't know who he was if I dressed him. And he didn't have security detail or anyone around kind of drawing attention to him. I think that he's kind of like a normal guy. I could put a hat on him, get him into like three. I can he get. I could get someone to be like, are you? Are you? Yeah. And he's like, nah, that's. Nah. I'm just that all the time. I get that a lot. Yeah, exactly. I could get him in there, I think shave his mustache. I don't think he wants to be that anymore.

[Mike Ryan]

I am looking at a photo of him right now, just in pretty normal pants and a Knicks T shirt and a backwards hat sitting courtside. But he looks like any other dude.

[Billy]

Thank you.

[Mike Ryan]

At the same time, pretty sure I would recognize him. Because he looks like Timothy Chalamet.

[Billy]

Yeah. No, but I could get him in there. There's a lot of people that are, you know, like, attractive that are not famous. And. Is he that attractive?

[Mike Ryan]

It's not even about the attractive. It's about the fact that he looks like himself. Like, he's a very distinct looking guy.

[Dan Le Batard]

He blends in.

[Mike Ryan]

Seen him enough now. You think so?

[Dan Le Batard]

I think he's more of a guy who blends in. I'm with Billy.

[Billy]

What?

[Roy]

His bathwater cell.

[Billy]

You think that's weird? I don't understand that.

[Stugotz]

Strangest thing ever.

[Billy]

So it's like, paint this picture for me.

[Roy]

Because I still don't really understand what this is.

[Mike Ryan]

Here's what's happening. So there's a brand.

[Stugotz]

You want him to paint a detailed picture of Sydney Sweeney taking a bath?

[Roy]

No, just paint the picture.

[Mike Ryan]

There's a brand called Dr. Squatch that is partnering bigger.

[Chris Cody]

Dr. Squatch. By the way, I love Dr. Squatch. I use Dr. Squatch every day.

[Mike Ryan]

Partnering with Sydney Sweeney, sponsor of yours.

[Billy]

What's. I might be.

[Chris Cody]

I use their deodorant, by the way.

[Billy]

They'Re partnering with Sydney Sweeney, deodorant sponsor.

[Mike Ryan]

On a soap called Sydney's bathwater Bliss. And the premise of this soap is that it has some of Sydney Sweeney's bath water in it.

[Roy]

So we're pandering to creepy.

[Billy]

Yes.

[Mike Ryan]

I just have a few questions first. I want to think about that.

[Roy]

You're in on this, Jeremy.

[Mike Ryan]

Me personally, you know, not as much. And the.

[Billy]

I think Jeremy would buy a Sidney Sydney Sweeney bathwater bomb. Like, if it was like, there's a drop of Sydney Sweeney's bathwater in this bath bomb, and then you can put it in your own bath. And then it becomes like, whatever it is that bath bombs do. You might be in on that, I think.

[Stugotz]

What are we hoping for here, Jeremy, with the bathwater thing? Like, are we hoping that we get the essence of Sydney Sweeney? Like, isn't bathwater dirty?

[Mike Ryan]

I know what they want out of this, Izzy.

[Stugotz]

So say it.

[Mike Ryan]

The people. The people who are going to order this. Well, here's the first question.

[Roy]

So this is the after bath water. Not the before.

[Mike Ryan]

This is the after bath water. That's correct.

[Dan Le Batard]

So she gets out of the bath, and they take some of that water.

[Mike Ryan]

They take some of that water and they put it in the formula.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's disgusting. Yeah.

[Billy]

So it's dirty soap.

[Chris Cody]

Sure, it's clean soap. Dr. Squatch puts out great soap, by the way.

[Billy]

Well, it's soap made of dirty water.

[Chris Cody]

It might not be dirty.

[Mike Ryan]

All I'm saying.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hold on a second. Because, Chris, if it was the before water, it would just be water.

[Billy]

That's true, but it was ins. Sydney Sweeney's bathtub.

[Roy]

Bathtub.

[Chris Cody]

We actually don't know if it was in her bathtub or not. It might have been somewhere else off site.

[Mike Ryan]

According to gq. She gave an interview with gq, and she said that she took a bath on set when they were doing the shoot with some of the soap that they had created before, and that that is the water that they harvested to then put in the new bath.

[Roy]

Is this a bath like after a beach day, or is this a bath like after just a night at home watching a movie?

[Dan Le Batard]

Very important.

[Mike Ryan]

I really soak your attention to detail. All I want to know is what the picture is.

[Dan Le Batard]

Sand in my b.

[Mike Ryan]

Because, I mean, let's be real. You're going in a pitch room for soap. And, you know, there's one guy. Hey, Jenkins, what's your idea? Hey, maybe, you know, some lavender scent. We can get something like that. Hey, Smith, what about you? You know, maybe. Maybe some vanilla bomb in there. I don't know. Something. Maybe some oak. Hey, you know, what about your idea?

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know.

[Mike Ryan]

I was thinking maybe. Hear me out. What if we took a little bit of Sydney Sweeney's bath water, we put.

[Roy]

It in the soap. I don't know.

[Stugotz]

You go into work that day, you know, you're either getting fired or promoting.

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, reputation on the line.

[Roy]

You said you saved that idea for the end of the pitch, right? You're like, all right, I got one more, right? One more idea here.

[Billy]

I think you sandwich it. I think you have, like, really bad ideas after that. And, like, you know that Sydney Sunny bathwater one. Not terrible.

[Mike Ryan]

It's just pretty amazing because, like, the.

[Billy]

Third one is like, diarrhea soap. And it's like, wait, what diarrhea?

[Chris Cody]

Dr. Squatch would never.

[Billy]

Terrible idea. What's your deal with doctor?

[Mike Ryan]

Dr. Squatch knew that there would be an audience for this. That for sure would give away their email for this sweepstakes, right? It says something about us, doesn't it? And I'll address the camera directly. Men who are going to sign up for the sweepstakes.

[Roy]

Good for you guys.

[Billy]

Wait, why men and Women. Yeah, sure.

[Mike Ryan]

No, it won't be.

[Billy]

Why?

[Mike Ryan]

You need a hug? You okay? I. I love you. It's okay. We could talk about it.

[Roy]

Hey, now, now, cut to me.

[Mike Ryan]

It's all right.

[Roy]

Hey, hey, bro.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're good.

[Mike Ryan]

It's okay. It's all gonna be fine. You're loved. We love you here. It's all right. Just step outside, go for a bike.

[Roy]

Ride back to me.

[Mike Ryan]

Give somebody a hug.

[Roy]

Don't listen to that guy.

[Stugotz]

You're good.

[Chris Cody]

It's a limited run, by the way. I think they're only making like 5,000.

[Billy]

Oh, so we gotta get it now.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, they stretched whatever the water was gonna be to put it in.

[Mike Ryan]

Just walk outside barefoot, step on some grass.

[Chris Cody]

Again, Dr. Squatch.

[Billy]

Oh, there's only smell in the air.

[Dan Le Batard]

There's only. You're thinking this is the end. Just 5,000. We're done. I mean of their.

[Chris Cody]

Of that particular one, you can only.

[Roy]

Get 5 max at a time.

[Billy]

There's only one. I've heard there's only one. I'm on the website. It says new and extremely limited edition, Sydney's Bathwater Bliss. Enter for a chance to win the only brick made with Sydney Sweeney's very own bathwater. So they made one. This would be honestly like one of the best white elephant gifts ever.

[Mike Ryan]

That's true, Chris.

[Chris Cody]

So Christmas here at the. At the Meadowlock offices, all of a sudden you see a little square and you're like, oh, what's this one?

[Billy]

Honestly, it'd probably be super valuable if there's only one. Sell it. Whoa. Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Sydney Sweeney's bath.

[Billy]

What if I. What if I find. What if I find a way to make a bar of soap out of my own bath water and make that a white elephant gift?

[Chris Cody]

I'll talk to the people, Dr. Squatch, and see if we can.

[Dan Le Batard]

Dr. Squatch.

[Billy]

How long have you been waiting to do that?

[Dan Le Batard]

Since someone put it in my ear, about five seconds.

[Chris Cody]

Very good.

[Billy]

I'm presently using a body wash that I like.

[Roy]

This keep going awash.

[Billy]

Well, not presently. I'm presently sitting here. But Dove men's gear. My. My body wash. Or let me rephrase that. I know someone that's using a body wash. It's not me because I use our sponsors body wash. I know someone that's using a body wash. Right? That's called Hammer shark.

[Dan Le Batard]

You know somebody?

[Billy]

I know somebody.

[Chris Cody]

Where did you get that? Navarro?

[Billy]

No, someone. Someone. Where did he get it?

[Chris Cody]

Where did he get that?

[Billy]

Someone got it at Burlington Coat Factory because it was check out discounted or no?

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, that one of those, like five bucks.

[Billy]

It's called Hammer Shark. Go Hammerhead. No, no copyright. I guess the sharks might go ensue. Called Hammer Shark. It's a pretty intense looking label. I've seen it.

[Stugotz]

What does it smell like?

[Chris Cody]

Hammer Shark.

[Billy]

I can't speak from experience, but it's pretty good.

[Dan Le Batard]

You have to ask the person.

[Billy]

Yeah, I had to ask. I said may I, May I sniff you? And it's pretty good, but definitely not me.

[Mike Ryan]

This is all because of Saltburn, right? That's the reason we're here. That's why we've ended up with people signing up for Sydney Sweeney's Bathwater Soap.

[Billy]

Dope. Yeah, sure.

[Roy]

Great.

[Billy]

Cool.

[Dan Le Batard]

Check out lines. Checkout lines get me all the time. How about you guys?

[Roy]

Especially those stores.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, when I go to like I go to Dick's Sporting. Good. No, someone brought up a checkout line and so I'm just saying like Dick's Sporting Goods. I go there because I'm thinking this is the time I'm gonna get into shape.

[Roy]

This is sporting goods is the weirdest one I know.

[Dan Le Batard]

And then I get to the line, I'm online, I'm trying to pay, and what do I end up walking out with? A pound. The peanut M and M's.

[Billy]

I mean, when I worked in.

[Dan Le Batard]

Get those out of Dicks.

[Billy]

No, when I worked in. And it's intentional, like it's obviously on purpose. When I worked in retail, they were called impulse towers. So you would put little things on there. Just little trinkets. Yeah, little, exactly right. Little trinkets. Smaller versions of things that you see, like. Oh yeah, yeah. Lip gloss. Yeah, I could get it.

[Roy]

Hand massager.

[Billy]

Yeah, you get like, you put little things there, they're not that expensive. And then you're like, oh yeah, I get one more thing. One more thing. And then the ad, like, like 5, 6, 7, $10 to each purchase. Cuz they're little things. M and M's are one of them.

[Stugotz]

That's the only way I buy lip balm if I see it in one of those lines.

[Dan Le Batard]

Only if you're waiting in line though, right?

[Stugotz]

Of course.

[Dan Le Batard]

Otherwise shopping for lip bal.

[Mike Ryan]

I love apricot and pear.

[Billy]

I like those lines at like a TJ Maxx. One of those.

[Chris Cody]

Get popcorn.

[Billy]

You could find anything in those lines. Like you never know what's going to the other stores. Like you more or less know, like, oh, I'll get something related to the theme of this store. Whatever.

[Roy]

Who's eating that popcorn. Like there's like these, like, aisles where I've discovered candy package food items. That's like. These food items have been here every year. I go Christmas shopping.

[Billy]

I'm on this, like, new kick of. Of It's a nerds candy. So it's. It's like a.

[Roy]

For Jeremy.

[Billy]

It's a gummy. Now, come on.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, nice.

[Billy]

Low hanging.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right.

[Billy]

I don't even know what thing is this one. I just. I just hit it blindly hoping I hit the right one.

[Chris Cody]

The next one over.

[Billy]

Next page. There you go.

[Dan Le Batard]

Doesn't deserve that.

[Billy]

Oh, what is that? They called Jeremy. Jeremy's still kind of reeling because he wanted to talk about Saltburn.

[Stugotz]

Well, Billy, I'm glad you brought that up. Would you like me to describe the scene that he's talking about from Saltburns? Because you haven't seen it.

[Billy]

I haven't seen. No. Yeah, sure. What happens?

[Stugotz]

So the reason we're talking about bathwater and relating it to Saltburn is because there's this one scene in Saltburn where this one character masturbates in a bathtub. And as these. These bath water is being drained down, somebody else who is obsessed with said person who is masturbating in the bathtub goes and sucks up the water around the drain of the bathtub. I had to watch that scene with my eyes mostly covered. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in my life.

[Mike Ryan]

And that's how we've ended up here with bars of soap.

[Dan Le Batard]

Chris Whittingham is a fancy lad. Missed that lad.

[Billy]

I don't think that's perfect timing for that conversation. Decent.

[Stugotz]

So now you know.

[Billy]

Yeah, so now I know.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Billy]

So in those lines, I've discovered candy. And the candy that I'm on right now is a, you know. Nerds.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes.

[Billy]

Are you familiar with nerds A little hard Jeremy.

[Dan Le Batard]

I am familiar with. It was funnier the second time around.

[Billy]

It's like the little, like, hard candy. Right.

[Mike Ryan]

What are they called?

[Billy]

Nerds supposed to say?

[Stugotz]

Like, Jeremy, are you kidding me?

[Billy]

A bit late to it, you know.

[Dan Le Batard]

He was so pleased.

[Roy]

I'm gonna zag when you guys want me to.

[Billy]

It doesn't matter. No one cares about the candy or anything. Just take shots.

[Dan Le Batard]

You love candy.

[Mike Ryan]

It's like Saltburn.

[Billy]

It's a gummy candy.

[Chris Cody]

It's like nerds rope.

[Billy]

It's nerds rope.

[Chris Cody]

No gummy one.

[Billy]

No, this one's like a little gummy, like, ball, and it's just surrounded with nerds around the outside.

[Chris Cody]

Nerds rope.

[Roy]

But a gummy amazing Imagine a Jeremy.

[Chris Cody]

Rope call a nerd's cluster.

[Billy]

Is that what it's called, a cluster? I don't know what it's called. I thought I was getting the right one that my wife liked, and she then was not happy because I got the wrong one.

[Chris Cody]

Because she doesn't like Nothing worse than getting back. And you're like, babe, look what I got you. And she's like, I hate this.

[Billy]

I'm gonna be honest with you. Sometimes it makes me wonder, why do I even try?

[Dan Le Batard]

Does it?

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Because you brought home the wrong nerd, the wrong candy.

[Billy]

And I said, you know what? Next time, just gonna bring home no candy. Then there's no complaints.

[Chris Cody]

Or the bar of soap. Sydney Sweeney's bath water.

[Billy]

How much do you think that'll sell for, like, on the second market?

[Chris Cody]

Black market. A good amount.

[Billy]

Amount.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's not an answer.

[Billy]

Oh, yeah.

[Chris Cody]

I can't review all my sources on what exactly it would cost. Maybe.

[Mike Ryan]

I bet it costs over $11,000, $2,500.

[Billy]

If you to resell it.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

That's something you don't use. If you buy it for that price, you don't use it.

[Billy]

You. You can't take it out of the box. Right. It's got to be.

[Chris Cody]

One condition.

[Roy]

Yeah, I'm using that thing.

[Mike Ryan]

They're going to smell it every day. That's what they're going to do.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're saying if you're purchasing bath water.

[Roy]

You'Re going to use it, taking it for a walk.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's free from your faucet.

[Roy]

There you go.

[Chris Cody]

Not her bath water, though. Her bath water.

[Mike Ryan]

It's really crazy, right? Like, it's pretty wild.

[Roy]

I need to know if it's like after school, after a workout. Is it like after?

[Chris Cody]

It's just on set.

[Mike Ryan]

I just told you.

[Izzy]

On set.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right?

[Roy]

What now?

[Dan Le Batard]

Now, these are important details.

[Billy]

There's a lot of people talking there.

[Dan Le Batard]

Chris would like to know the activities leading up to you taking a bath. Were you at the beach all day? Did you have sex at the beach?

[Billy]

I mean, it sounded like she was just shooting a commercial, which also, like, if they got this bathwater. She was shooting a commercial or something, right? She was on set. And then they're like, you know, we should do go collect her bath water. That's really weird.

[Stugotz]

There's probably a little bit of fecal matter in there, right?

[Billy]

What?

[Roy]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

In bath water.

[Roy]

No particles for sure.

[Dan Le Batard]

Was that poppy?

[Chris Cody]

Very intrigued.

[Billy]

So the Panthers are back in the Stanley cup final. That's right.

[Dan Le Batard]

So is Edmonton.

[Billy]

That's Right.

[Roy]

So Edmonton wins last night. Last year they did not touch. Because there's this whole thing in hockey superstitions touching the champion, the conference championship trophy. The Panthers, the first year they got there, touched the trophy, lost. Last year, didn't touch the trophy. Won.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right.

[Roy]

Last year Edmonton didn't touch the trophy, lost. So now this year they touched the trophy.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wow.

[Stugotz]

What's going to happen?

[Billy]

I just didn't touch it. By the way, run this by all of us again. Oh, okay.

[Roy]

It's a lot.

[Billy]

Okay.

[Roy]

Last year, yes. Edmonton. Edmonton did not touch the trophy.

[Dan Le Batard]

They won the conference finals. Did not touch the trophy.

[Billy]

Didn't touch the trophy.

[Roy]

So. And then they lost bigger trophies ahead.

[Billy]

Of them they had in 2024 and.

[Roy]

Then they lost the final and then lost.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right.

[Roy]

And so now this year, because last year they didn't touch it and lost. They're like, hey, we're going to touch it. So they touched it this year.

[Billy]

So they touched and questioned.

[Dan Le Batard]

Taking a different approach. Yes.

[Roy]

And the Panthers won when they didn't touch it and lost when they. Basically the Edmonton Oilers and the Panthers are opposite ends of, of the luck spectrum right now in terms of touching the.

[Billy]

So in 2024, the Panthers did touch it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Did the Panthers touch it this year?

[Billy]

Did they touch it in 2023 when.

[Roy]

They went against Vegas? The first year they were there, the Panthers did touch it and then they lost to Vegas. So last year they were like, we're not touching that thing. And they won. So of course this year, Panthers didn't touch it. The question is, if the Edmonton Oilers lose this year, what do they do if they get back next year? Because then they will have lost two.

[Dan Le Batard]

In a row, out of options, straight.

[Stugotz]

To the locker room, don't even show up for the ceremony.

[Billy]

It seems like maybe touching the trophy doesn't actually impact.

[Roy]

Does it actually matter? That's a great question by Billy. Or is it all psychological?

[Billy]

Huh? If I'm the Panthers, I don't touch it. Because you already won the big right.

[Roy]

They didn't touch it.

[Billy]

I wouldn't even go to the ceremony.

[Dan Le Batard]

But they won it by not touching it. What?

[Roy]

What if, just to make like news, if you're like the sixth defender on the Panthers and you touch it, you just like, like they're all not touching it. There's a photo happening and then some guy like Belinsky's walks up at the end and just like, whatever.

[Billy]

I like that. He goes, he trips and he's. Oh. And he touches it that way. Yeah, yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Like for the Ice slip.

[Billy]

He touches it.

[Mike Ryan]

Speaking of touching it. Sydney Sweeney's bath water.

[Billy]

What? Wow.

[Roy]

Hell yeah.

[Stugotz]
