[Tony]

Shadow Show.

[Chris Cody]

Shadow Show.

[Tony]

Shadow Show. Shadow Show. Shadow Show.

[Chris Cody]

Shadow Show. Shadowing it.

[Amin Elhassan]

Shadowing it.

[Chris Cody]

Tony, I can't imagine that you haven't been dying a little bit inside as you get makeup here, that you have had to wait here for a little while with the group to talk about the idea of Jon Bones Jones winning a fight with a spinning leg kick to Stipe's body that just when you knock out. Or I guess it wasn't a knockout because he only went down.

[Amin Elhassan]

Tko, Dan.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah. When you knock down somebody with the pedigree of Stipe.

[Tony]

Stipe still at it, huh?

[Chris Cody]

He is, yes.

[Amin Elhassan]

Not anymore.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, probably not after that.

[Tony]

Hung them up.

[Amin Elhassan]

He did. Actually. He hung him up.

[Chris Cody]

I cannot think of a more graceful way to feel like you've won a fight than with a spinning leg kick. That's using the three largest muscles in the body, the quad, the hamstring and the glute. To take someone out with your foot because you're so good at what you do that you can take out a giant dude to the body with your foot that way.

[Amin Elhassan]

Not only that, he had tried it earlier in the fight and it had landed a little bit closer to the thigh. So he's like, oh, wait a second, I can do this again, because he's not going to suspect it again. And then when he did it, we saw his entire stipe's entire, like, left side just kind of cave in. And then I was trying to do the math. I was like, is the liver on that side? Is the liver on the other side? Was it a liver shot?

[Chris Cody]

No, he'd be in the hospital if it was on the other side.

[Amin Elhassan]

Luckily, it wasn't the liver, but he did lacerate his kidney and his spleen and broke ribs with that back spinning kick.

[Stugotz]

I honestly, and this is not a sarcasm or a joke, I would rather just get knocked out cold than experience that kick. That looks so painful.

[Jessica]

Chris, would you rather get kicked like that or get hit by Ray Lewis coming across the middle?

[Tony]

Ooh.

[Amin Elhassan]

With pads.

[Stugotz]

Take Ray Lewis. That kick looked like you lose your air, your ribs are broken. Like, I just. That to me, looked as painful as anything in fighting.

[Tony]

How about Derrick Henry getting a 20 yard head of steam and you have to tackle him?

[Jessica]

That doesn't. Well, that doesn't hurt, though.

[Tony]

Oh, it has to hurt.

[Chris Cody]

Guys, guys, guys.

[Tony]

Are you kidding me?

[Chris Cody]

Guys? A heavyweight went down into the hospital with broken stuff. That doesn't break when Derrick Henry runs over you or when Ray Lewis hits you over the middle. Like, when you get. I don't think you guys know what it is that that knockout was or not. I keep calling it a knockout, even though it's a tko. The fine, the idea, technical knockout.

[Roy]

So, yes.

[Chris Cody]

Thank you. Yes. The idea that you would start a K, man, I've learned so much about, like, how the body on athletes are connected and the amount of strength that a pitcher gets from his feet so that the ball is whiplashed at 104 miles an hour from his hand. And that kick, which starts in the floor in John Bones Jones, ridiculously strong base for him to break ribs on that dude's body when he's just perfectly timing hitting him with the foot in a way that none of us would think would break ribs looking at it.

[Jessica]

Correct.

[Chris Cody]

Like, you don't know until Stipe goes down how much that actually hurts.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah. Because it's. It happens so fast, right, that you see it and you're like, oh, my God, he got him. But then once you see the slow mo and obviously everything is worse. In slow mo, you see, like, this side of his body just kind of, like, go sideways, and you're like, ooh, there's stuff there that doesn't move. So the way that that moved on slow mo wasn't great. The thing is, Jon has so many different things, right? So many different weapons to attack. He's got great feet. He's got great hands. He's got length. And that was some of the part with Stipe where he was trying to get in the pocket with Jon and box and stand on the feet. But the issue is Jon is so long that he would just put his arms out and kind of just, like, paw at him. Like, no, that jab's not going to work. I'm hitting this. And then all of a sudden, Stipe's like, all right, I got to get in. He got clinched against the fence, and then, bam. That's spinning back.

[Chris Cody]

He does that so much with the pawing that he eye gouges, and people hate him because of how much he eye gouges doing that pawing stuff.

[Jessica]

I just watched the video. Right now, Stipe has two right hips now. He knocked his hip to the other side.

[Chris Cody]

You guys would agree that it's totally unsatisfying to see one of those fights end with somebody getting down on a body shot, correct? Like, I imagine that you guys want headshots. As people who are just looking for.

[Stugotz]

Bloodlust, I think generally, I agree with you, but that one in particular looked so painful that I was, like, just impressed with it.

[Jessica]

He has two right hips.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, you mentioned that.

[Jessica]

See, like, the hip. We hit him so hard, the hip ended up on the other side.

[Stugotz]

Right.

[Amin Elhassan]

Shifted to the other two of them.

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Tony, how often do you see a fight end with a spinning leg kick?

[Amin Elhassan]

It's rare. Spinning leg kicks are rare. There's been spinning elbow, spinning backhands that have worked, too. But again, the majority of people don't have the capability or the body strength and control to try those. And even more so, knock people out with those shots, right? Like, those have to be super sniper level, like, precision perfect.

[Chris Cody]

Well, you're leaving yourself. You're turning your back to other people. Exactly. You got to be careful.

[Amin Elhassan]

You miss, there's another one coming back at you. And then all of a sudden, you're waking up, like, what happened? Oh, you did the spinning back kick, and the guy kicked in the back of the head. Shar Bullet Nurmagomedov, who had a spinning. A double spinning elbow, right? So he went this way with an elbow with his left over. And then the guy kind of dodged it, but then he came back around with his right.

[Chris Cody]

Wow.

[Amin Elhassan]

It was incredible.

[Chris Cody]

Can I go around the room and have everyone try to say that name that you just said? Don't repeat. Brother. Don't repeat it. Don't repeat it.

[Tony]

I wasn't listening, though.

[Chris Cody]

Khabib. Khabib's brother.

[Jessica]

Did I say that right?

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah, it's not his brother, but Khabib's relative down the line.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[Jessica]

Okay.

[Chris Cody]

Go ahead, Stugots. You try first.

[Tony]

I didn't hear the name.

[Chris Cody]

That's fine. Just try first.

[Jessica]

He could say it again. Stugats.

[Chris Cody]

Well, that's true, but I don't want Khabib. No, it's his brother. You weren't listening to that part either. Kaboob.

[Jessica]

Oh, names that connote boobs.

[Chris Cody]

Well, actually, since you said that. Thank you. I mean, top five. Time now for top five. Stugotts. List of top five athletes who still connote penis. Is that what you're going to do again?

[Stugotz]

We got to save this to the big show.

[Chris Cody]

This is the big show. The other show is the lesser show. This is the big show. What do you have here? Top five things.

[Tony]

They're just people in sports and what their names would be if they were a penis.

[Jessica]

I like it.

[Tony]

Chubby. Smith. James. Hard on. I'm nervous.

[Roy]

Nervous?

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Is it because of how everyone is just staring at you? Penis.

[Jessica]

Ellison. Nervous.

[Tony]

Wow. Penis Slaughter. Evan. Schlongoria. Schlongo. You want more?

[Chris Cody]

I don't. Where are we? Is that number two or are we still on olives?

[Tony]

Dicky. Thong.

[Jessica]

That's uncovered. Comfortable.

[Tony]

You want more?

[Chris Cody]

Where are we?

[Tony]

Bernhard. Wenger.

[Stugotz]

I think I'm good.

[Jessica]

Lualdong.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, wow.

[Stugotz]

Oh, man.

[Tony]

Lualdong.

[Amin Elhassan]

This is the Dan Levator show with the Stuttgarts podcast.

[Mike Ryan]

Today's episode is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings. The Crown is yours.

[Chris Cody]

I don't know about the rest of you, but over the last four years, right about when the pandemic started, I feel like we started all as a group, noticing more that people are just generally selfish.

[Tony]

Robert Package.

[Jessica]

Thank you.

[Chris Cody]

I don't feel like it deserved the fanfare. Robert Package. Like, working. Was he working real hard on that for the last 24 hours?

[Tony]

Tommy Johnson.

[Roy]

Mark Bulger.

[Tony]

Oh, wow.

[Dan LeBatard]

George Foreskin.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, wow.

[Amin Elhassan]

Hey, Penis freedom.

[Dan LeBatard]

Taylor Gooch.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, sorry. Since the start of the pandemic, I feel like people have Been takers more than or it's been more overt that people are selfish. So I'm telling you today on the one day a year in Miami where people are really encouraged to give givemiamiday.org which is a day in which all of your donations are 100% tax deductible. And they're an assortment of charities that can help locally that are doing really good and important work to underserved communities. I am recommending to everybody listening to this to partake in givemiamiday.org and just easy way to help if you have some disposable income. Because Dave Lawrence, the former publisher of the Miami Herald, back in the days when that meant something to be a publisher of a newspaper, has been doing good and charitable work in this community, like giant work, for a long time to help people. And I just want to put it in front of everybody and our audience because this money does go to a lot of good causes. And I wanted to ask the group because I was watching last night and it was a history lesson that me and I think Stugots and Amin lived. Maybe Roy, too. But I don't know about the rest of you. When I asked Tony and Chris and Jessica and Jeremy, when I ask you guys what you think of Ted Turner, the name Ted Turner, what do you know, or what do you think you know about the name Ted Turner? It's okay to not know anything here. This particular documentary that I'm talking about on Max is about an old person that interviews a whole bunch of old people. But Amin and Stugotts and I know that this person, among other things, invented cable television. And so I don't know what you guys know about the name Ted Turner or what it means to you. So can anyone give me an idea of what working knowledge you have on something that has already become history, even though it was happening in the 80s?

[Stugotz]

I had Turner Sports. So you said the one thing I knew.

[Amin Elhassan]

I had Ted Bundy. Wrong, Ted.

[Stugotz]

The Atlanta Braves.

[Dan LeBatard]

Do you want a serious answer?

[Chris Cody]

I just want to know what you guys know.

[Dan LeBatard]

I mean, I majored in television in college, so, yes, I know who Ted Turner is.

[Chris Cody]

Okay. Okay. But let's see here.

[Tony]

Thank you.

[Chris Cody]

I don't think that you. Congratulations.

[Tony]

Look at me, Louie. That's the one I was looking for.

[Chris Cody]

Well, fanfare is what she deserved.

[Dan LeBatard]

I thought that was a penalty for.

[Chris Cody]

Majoring in television in college. Yes, but there are a lot of other things that he did that made him uniquely ahead of his time. He also invented the goodwill Games. But in terms of aspirations and what it is that he had, he was looking very, in very real ways to end nuclear threat and feed all children. Like, in terms of ambition, his ambitions were giant. Owning the Braves was very small. He gave $1 billion to UN rel charities because he was so aggressive about trying to legitimately make the world a better place.

[Tony]

Did he also want to pay the teachers and save the whales?

[Chris Cody]

I mean, he saved the bison. Did he really? He saved an entire species of animal. He did giant things. He was way ahead on climate change and everything else. And the reason I bring all of it up as watching him and this documentary, which it's got some fat in places and it is slow if you have an attention span that needs perpetual stimuli. But the things that he was doing were enormously groundbreaking in a number of different ways. But giving and giving in the way that I'm asking the audience to do on givemiamiday.org was at the center of almost everything that the man was doing. And it's a level of ambition that seems totally insane because it's not like he was a brilliant man, but he was continually betting his fortune on these giant bets. And the reason I bring it all up is because, my God, would he be wounded by what's happened to cnn. Like, cnn, which came into the forefront because they were covering a war better than the major news networks, as he was trying to fight his way into the television game. And again, STUG would get like $500 million in debt. And you'd be like, how does that person sleep at night? How do you sleep at night with $500 million in debt? I suppose we could probably ask the next president of our country who has bankrupted, I don't know, four to six places.

[Amin Elhassan]

Is that money even real at that point? Like, oh, I owe $500 million. Ooh, what are you gonna do? You gonna come get it?

[Jessica]

Sure. Like, let's do a payment plan.

[Tony]

You got a million a year for.

[Amin Elhassan]

The next 500 years.

[Jessica]

I owes you $500 million. You kind of messed up. You're the one that messed up, not the guy who's. Who's owes the money.

[Tony]

You're never seeing that money again.

[Jessica]

You've never seen that money again. You got, at some point, maybe after the first hundred billion, you should have said, okay, let's slow down.

[Chris Cody]

He paid everyone back, did he? Yes, he managed to.

[Jessica]

He got out of debt.

[Chris Cody]

He managed to pay everyone back by winning the bet. He was worth $10 billion at one point because he made cable Television matter. And not only would he be mortified by what's happening at cnn, my guess is he's mortified by cable television collapsing too, because a whole bunch of things are falling apart all around us.

[Tony]

How about the Braves?

[Stugotz]

I mean, be happy about that.

[Tony]

The Dodgers are dominating.

[Chris Cody]

I mean, he'd be generally happy about where it is the Braves were last year.

[Tony]

Good.

[Roy]

Talking about him like he's dead.

[Jessica]

Yeah, they threw me off. I had to Wikipedia, like, is he still with us?

[Stugotz]

He is $80 fine.

[Amin Elhassan]

No, Dan means his mental faculties, obviously. Maybe not all the way there. He's an older person.

[Chris Cody]

Well, that'd be shocking. Spoiler alert. It ends. It's sad in that regard where age comes and grabs us all. But, yes, he is not yet dead. I'm sorry. I was speaking as if I was eulogizing him. I was just watching a documentary about his life that Jessica didn't need because she majored in television in college.

[Dan LeBatard]

He was married to Jane Fonda, Dan.

[Jessica]

He was. Yeah, that's correct.

[Dan LeBatard]

But they got divorced.

[Jessica]

You guys remember Jane Fonda had the fitness tapes with aerobics.

[Dan LeBatard]

Remember Jane? She's still out doing stuff.

[Chris Cody]

She's not dead either. Bobarella.

[Dan LeBatard]

She was in 80 for Brady a mere two years ago.

[Tony]

That's right.

[Jessica]

She was in 80.

[Dan LeBatard]

She's on TV all the time.

[Jessica]

Is she on T all the time?

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[Jessica]

I won't say all the fond of.

[Stugotz]

Sports is totally different.

[Chris Cody]

Put it on the poll, please.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm fond of sports.

[Chris Cody]

Is Jane Fonda on television all the time? Were you guys aware. I was not aware until yesterday that Denzel Washington said that he's been sober for 10 years. That he used to drink two bottles of wine a day.

[Tony]

I was not aware he had a drinking problem.

[Roy]

Man, making that movie Flight must have been something. Yeah, that was an alcoholic palace that he was playing that movie.

[Jessica]

I'm drunk right now.

[Chris Cody]

He.

[Amin Elhassan]

What a scene.

[Chris Cody]

10 years. He was drinking two. I'm sorry. Sober for 10 years and was drinking two bottles of wine. But the next choices that Denzel is making, he's doing Black Panther. He's doing Gladiator. He says that in Gladiator he kissed a man full on the lips. And it was cut out of the movie. He said, apparently people aren't ready for Denzel Washington to kiss a man on the lip. And he's also doing. And forgive me for forgetting this, I should know it. It's almost like a just giant man violation. His famous action franchise, Equalizer. Equalizer.

[Amin Elhassan]

Come on.

[Chris Cody]

I know my Bad. I felt terrible.

[Amin Elhassan]

He saw Three over the weekend.

[Tony]

I know, but he apologized. Front end.

[Jessica]

I mean, three has a lot of subtitles.

[Amin Elhassan]

Three has a lot of subtitles. It's in Italian. He's in a beautiful spot over in Positano where he has to go and make sure that the mob isn't doing the things that they're doing to all.

[Jessica]

The small businesses, to all the local people.

[Chris Cody]

Exactly.

[Jessica]

Like, he just happened to be there, and he didn't like how the mob was cheating all the local people. I like Three. Three was actually pretty good.

[Roy]

Is that the one with the hurricane?

[Amin Elhassan]

No, that's two.

[Chris Cody]

That was a ridiculous.

[Amin Elhassan]

He's fighting the Russian mob in that one. In a hurricane.

[Chris Cody]

That was a ridiculous ending to that movie.

[Tony]

What?

[Chris Cody]

Him fighting in a hurricane? Like, come on.

[Tony]

What's wrong with that?

[Chris Cody]

Come on. I mean. Anyway, what I was saying is he's doing 4 and 5. Thank God he has signed up for 4 and 5, because he's capitalizing on this recent trend where he's like, well, wait a minute. If all the action heroes get to be 50, 60, and 70, I'm a giant movie star. And I don't know if he's going to make any of those in Italy, but it seems like Denzel Washington makes a lot of choices because he just wants to spend a lot of time in Italy, where I'm guessing he was getting some of those two good bottles of wine that were given him a problem before 10 years ago. But you're excited about all of these moves because this is. We can agree, right, that if we were making a list of top 10 movie stars of all time, Denzel Washington is on it. Top 10 all time.

[Tony]

Oh, without question. I think everyone would put Denzel in their top 10 actors of all time for sure.

[Roy]

Top three, probably.

[Jessica]

Yeah, absolutely. Dan, I'm surprised that you went with. Denzel used to drink two bottles of wine a day when one of the other things he revealed in that interview was, I used to shoot dope. He was on the Heron. That's shocking.

[Chris Cody]

Wine.

[Jessica]

Two bottles of wine. Yeah.

[Stugotz]

A lot of people doing that, right?

[Tony]

I mean, Popovich is doing that.

[Jessica]

Hey, I'm drunk right now. But doing, like, doing hard drugs. I don't know. Maybe this is my naivete, but no, Denzel would never do hard drugs. That guy, like, he's straight family man. Family man. Right, right.

[Chris Cody]

Wait a minute. What is Amin doing? Because Amin got really mad at me one day when I said, I can't imagine Tua doing a whole lot of bad Stuff off the field. And Amin was like, that's ridiculous. Why would you assume that anybody's public Persona is a real thing? And you got mad at me. But Denzel, you're willing to buy on.

[Jessica]

Denzel's different.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, but he did heroin.

[Jessica]

He also did heart condition.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah, but.

[Jessica]

Oh, yeah, that's file.

[Stugotz]

But we're reading that. We're reading that about Denzel, whereas we're speculating about too.

[Jessica]

Yeah, I mean, it's Denzel who's revealing that to us now after all these years. But that was. I mean, that to me was the most shocking thing that came out of that. Not I used to be an alcoholic or whatever.

[Chris Cody]

The most shocking thing to come out of the last 10 minutes to me is when you all agreed vigorously on top three, top five, top ten. I saw a single raised eyebrow in the back row.

[Jessica]

You better not.

[Chris Cody]

Of cynicism and you better not. She wanted to speak into existence.

[Tony]

Who is it?

[Chris Cody]

He said she said she.

[Tony]

I was going to say Roy. I mean Willow.

[Dan LeBatard]

Willow. That was disrespectful.

[Chris Cody]

No one else here is willing to do a Trump or a Biden.

[Amin Elhassan]

That's not true, Dan.

[Chris Cody]

Okay, Tony, you can catch up.

[Amin Elhassan]

A thousand impersonations. That's not bad, man.

[Chris Cody]

Finally. Pretty good stugots.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yours is terrible.

[Chris Cody]

You just gotta get a little redder, a little pinker.

[Unknown]

You're Right there, man.

[Chris Cody]

Yours is not that. You're biting me. What do you mean?

[Amin Elhassan]

Oh, his is good though.

[Stugotz]

That's actually not bad.

[Chris Cody]

That's not terrible.

[Amin Elhassan]

We gotta come together. Little Southern, little George Bush in that one. This is the Don Levatar show with these two gods.

[Dan LeBatard]

Denzel, he's like slightly older than the movies that I connected with in my twenties.

[Chris Cody]

You don't have to apologize for this.

[Dan LeBatard]

Seventeen. Actually he's 69. Nice.

[Tony]

She has Glenn Powell in her top ten.

[Dan LeBatard]

No, I don't. But maybe someday. Top ten from the summer.

[Tony]

Someday soon.

[Chris Cody]

I do wonder, is this generational or do we have to take the history of the movies? Right? Because not a whole lot of people talking about this are going to mention the Rock Hudson's and the Clark Gables and the people from a million different. A million years ago you just made up names. So how old? Well, but how old? How long before Denzel Washington's a made up name? Because he's only like 30 years after them where he starts. And so to, to a generation, at some point Denzel Washington's gonna be Clark. Clark Gable and Rock Hudson.

[Dan LeBatard]

I majored in film, so I know who Clark Gable is. Yeah, Gone with the Wind.

[Tony]

Come on, Clark Cable.

[Chris Cody]

That's Ted Turner. Well done in television.

[Stugotz]

I have here IMDb's top 10 actors of all time. And I will tell you, Denzel comes in. This is just actors, not actresses. He comes in right at 10 on their all time.

[Jessica]

I'd like to hear who they have above Denzel.

[Chris Cody]

Do it backwards, do it upside. Do it, do it from 10 to 1. And why is it just men? Like.

[Stugotz]

Well, I think I could have done actors as a different actress.

[Chris Cody]

All right, so. But I was movie stars is what I was looking for. Just movie star names. But okay, let's do actors.

[Stugotz]

Number nine, Paul Newman. Number eight, Anthony Hopkins.

[Amin Elhassan]

Salad guy.

[Tony]

Salad dress.

[Stugotz]

Number seven, Tom Hank Hanks. Number six, Dustin Hoffman. No, we gotta like the next one. Number five, Daniel Day Lewis. Number four. Adnan's gonna like this one. Al Pacino. Adnan will also like. Number three, Robert De Niro. Number two, Marlon Brando.

[Jessica]

That's. That's an Adnan pick also.

[Stugotz]

And number one, Jack Nicholson.

[Tony]

Wow.

[Jessica]

Jackson.

[Chris Cody]

Number one.

[Jessica]

Terrible list.

[Tony]

No Stallone.

[Stugotz]

And it says the actors are on this list. Are ranked according to their lifetime success along with acting skills, versatility and role transformation.

[Jessica]

Yeah, Jack Nicholson really does role transformation. Every single act I do goes like this. And I'm Jack Nicholson and I don't actually have to do anything else. But do this thing right here and I do my eyebrows and then I die and a rat comes around and all of a said, we win an Oscar.

[Dan LeBatard]

I actually, I take back what I said. He's definitely on my list. I forgot about Remember the Titans.

[Jessica]

Ah, there we go.

[Dan LeBatard]

I don't know how, but my parents took me to see that in theaters a little young for that movie.

[Chris Cody]

Didn't an NFL team just do the celebration that remember that they didn't remember the Titans in the end zone where they do the like. What was the team that just did. Did that a couple of weeks ago?

[Amin Elhassan]

I thought it was the Chiefs. Didn't DeAndre Hopkins do it?

[Chris Cody]

Was it the Chiefs? Was it the Falcons?

[Jessica]

I thought that was from the Replacements.

[Chris Cody]

No, it was from Remember the Titans. The what? It was just the.

[Tony]

It was DeAndre Hopkins. Yeah.

[Stugotz]

DeAndre Hopkins with the Chiefs.

[Amin Elhassan]

Thank you.

[Stugotz]

Because he was on the Titans.

[Chris Cody]

So he's remembering the Titans.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Chris Cody]

That would have been the easy way. Like, I don't know what is that called? Where it is that you have cues for your memory to help you.

[Dan LeBatard]

Mnemonic device.

[Chris Cody]

That would have been memory cues.

[Jessica]

Mnemonic.

[Amin Elhassan]

We talked about that on Tuesday.

[Dan LeBatard]

Dan doesn't like Keanu Reeves. He's on my list.

[Chris Cody]

How can I not remember the Titans? When he was doing Remember the Titans and he used to be a Titan and he's the only relevant thing from the Titans that has happened this entire season. And I had all the clues there and I still forgot one of the funny things that happened in the Ted Turner documentary. He didn't mean to do this, but he was talking about. And this is happening to me now, his memory loss issues. And he was like, I have Alzheimer's and I don't remember the name of the other one. And he wasn't joking.

[Tony]

Like, oh, wow, that's tough.

[Chris Cody]

I mean, he was saying. That's what he was saying.

[Amin Elhassan]

Good joke, though.

[Chris Cody]

I'm telling. Well, he didn't mean it as a joke. Then he started laughing at himself. I would recommend again, if you don't like Slow and Old, I will not recommend this. But if you just want a history lesson on a fairly amazing person, I would strongly recommend this documentary because it's just moving to see someone care so much about peace and giving. And it's hurtful to see someone losing so badly in this modern age when he was warning us 40 years ago of what it is that was headed this way related to movies. Amin says that. And I don't know why he says this, but I did Hear everybody all of a sudden in the Stugotts wheelhouse of talking about Rocky, which is the only movie Stugotts ever wants to talk about, it's a good one, saying that the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight resembled to him, Rocky six. Jessica, you did not major in Rocky in college. You have admitted that you've never seen any of the Rocky movies, correct?

[Dan LeBatard]

Not a single one. Dano.

[Chris Cody]

So explain how it is. I mean, to the people who do not know what Rocky is, why it is that Jake Paul and Mike Thomps Tyson felt to you like Rocky 6.

[Jessica]

Okay, first of all, people know what Rocky is. They may not know the details of Rocky 6.

[Tony]

They know what Rocky is, but they know the premise.

[Jessica]

They know the premise. But in Rocky 6, which is called Rocky Balboa, actually, it's technically not Rocky 6. Rocky is an old, Kind of like, Mike Tyson, he's, like, retired, but everybody knows his prime. Not even past his prime. He's an old man who's retired, but everybody knows who he is. He's got a restaurant. Everyone goes to the restaurant. They love Rocky. And so there's this hot, new young boxer named Mason the Line Dixon, right? Because writing.

[Amin Elhassan]

Great name, by the way.

[Jessica]

Writing is so good, superb on this movie. And they do the thing. I think it's actually Max Kellerman, because they have ESPN in the movie where they're doing the thing with, how good would he be against the great surpass, like, oh, I don't know, Rocky. And so they make this whole simulation on, like, NBA 2K, where he fights against Rocky and he wins. And then Rocky kind of takes a little offense. I was like, you know, I don't think it would go down like that. And next thing you know, Rocky's coming out of retirement. He's training to fight Mason the Line Dixon, who's in his prime. And it's a great fight. I think Mason Dixon wins, right? Yes, he wins. Right? But it's like, also. It's not like a knockout or anything. Everyone.

[Roy]

No, he won in the court.

[Jessica]

Yeah. Everyone praises Rocky for, like, basically an old man not getting your ass knocked out. And I was like, holy shit. That's exactly what happened. They literally just lifted the entire plot from Rocky 6 for this fight. Because we did simulations, and we said, oh, he's gonna kill him, and all this stuff. And all the old people are like, rocky's gonna win. All the young people. Like, it's impossible. And then we get in the ring and it's like, all right. Like, he's not gonna Win. But also, he's not going down. He's taking these headshots like a champ. So I just wondered, like, why didn't anyone connect those dots at any point in this process? And then Roy tells me I did, and he showed me the tweet that he did.

[Roy]

Yeah, man. I made that joke right in the middle of the fight. Like, this is a worse performance than Rocky Barbour did with Mason Alliance.

[Amin Elhassan]

Dixon, when I knew things were cooked is not. When he walked into the ring and was a little slow. Whatever. When they panned over to Mike about to walk out and he had a knee brace on, I was like, ooh, that's a bad look. You can't wear the knee brace. Nobody wears the knee brace.

[Tony]

You gotta limp in.

[Amin Elhassan]

You gotta. You gotta just pretend without the brace. Gotta go without the brace.

[Tony]

You have to.

[Chris Cody]

The.

[Jessica]

One of my favorite things from that fight was Roy Jones saying, I don't like his leg. And he's. I know what he was doing. Someone was like, he's just repeating the same thing. I was like, you know what he's doing? Roy will know this from Cinephile. He's doing cobra formula because he wants someone to say, what's wrong with his legs? And then he would explain, but nobody took the bait. So he just kept saying, I don't like his legs. And everyone just kept sitting around, like, all right, cool.

[Chris Cody]

I noticed during that fight the importance of broadcasting chemistry. And they throw it to Rosie Perez, and she'd just say, that's right. Right. And then there'd just be this silence sitting there because she wasn't.

[Tony]

They were expecting more.

[Chris Cody]

Well, she knows boxing. It was a matter of chemistry between the participants and talking at the right time and not wanting to admit. Not that there was much action, but not wanting to be talking over action. You mentioned Mason the Lion Dixon as a great name.

[Roy]

What Line? Not Lion Line.

[Tony]

Mason Dixon.

[Jessica]

Dixon.

[Chris Cody]

Forgive me.

[Tony]

Mason Dixon. Lion.

[Chris Cody]

Thank you. Mason the Line Dixon. You guys mentioned that as a great name. What is right now regarding as the greatest name anywhere in sports?

[Jessica]

The Glimmer Man.

[Chris Cody]

I saw a nominee make an appearance this weekend during the Raiders Dolphins game because Divine Diablo is a.

[Amin Elhassan]

He's incredible.

[Jessica]

That's a real name.

[Chris Cody]

Hold on.

[Tony]

Divine Diablo.

[Chris Cody]

It's a pretty great name for a football player.

[Amin Elhassan]

And he's an excellent linebacker. He's always in the right spot, always making a big tackle. Like he's very good.

[Chris Cody]

Is that as good a name as LSU's linebacker? The Honky Badger.

[Jessica]

Ooh.

[Amin Elhassan]

Whit Weeks, number 40 what do you.

[Chris Cody]

Guys have for me in terms of names across sports that you like? Stugatz has told me before that there are certain names that as soon as he hears them, he would sign that person to a quarterback contract without knowing anything else other than their name.

[Tony]

Jackson Dart. One of those names a Dallas comedies for me was a power forward, early 80s DePaul. My favorite sports name of all time.

[Chris Cody]

It's a great name. Agreed. I'm just surprised that that's what you're going with.

[Tony]

I can't help it.

[Chris Cody]

That Jackson Dart. Okay, put it on the poll please. At Lebatar show Juju better sports name Jackson Dart or Dallas comedies or also put up there Divine Diablo because that's. It's a.

[Tony]

Well, that's going to win, Dan.

[Chris Cody]

I mean it's a strong name, but it's a strong name for a linebacker. Also put Mason the Lion Dixon up there for me as well. Roy, you stop laughing at me for a second because I, I got something for you right now. Here. Yeah, we, we were surveilling and listening and as we always are around here while you were doing something the other day. And I also would recommend to the group Ronan Farrow has a documentary on surveillance if you want to be really scared about how everything is listening to you right now. And we're all doomed in terms of how our information is going to be used against us shortly.

Shirt. If I may say for a second Miami they were circulating the snap count the entire game and they were clapping at the line of scrimmage. And the only thing I want to see clapping are them cheeks on Mrs. Met in my face. Max.

[Chris Cody]

Sure. All right.

[Dan LeBatard]

So that's one thing.

[Chris Cody]

Stugots.

[Amin Elhassan]

This is the Dan Levatar show with.

[Chris Cody]

The stuff Roy we were recently I was sent by sources Meadowlark betrayers and infidels and traitors.

The hockey show you can catch it every week whenever Roy feels like publishing. Sometimes on Fridays. Do. Do you have any idea what I'm about to play right now?

[Chris Cody]

You. Now, which one's worse, that time or the time that we were listening and surveilling on Chris Cody as he was in another room? I believe we.

[Stugotz]

Oh, great, we're doing this again.

[Chris Cody]

I believe we tuned in live to this and were just watching him from a distance, if I recall. All right, don't edit it then, Michael.

You went last. That's how you got to use code.

[Chris Cody]

Ho ho ho.

[Stugotz]

Ah, Sheets and Giggles.

[Chris Cody]

That was my favorite part. When you're just you're roiling in a lack of self confidence. You're just falling apart. But you've got to summon televised broadcast energy and you're not in the mood.

[Tony]

I just broke you at that point.

[Chris Cody]

You're not in the mood. I want to hear it all again. But I also want to examine Roy's again. No. Well, yeah, sure.

[Jessica]

But I like that. And then the very silent is a very quiet you. It's not, it's not an emphatic, it's not full of rage. It's just. You know what, you can go yourself.

[Chris Cody]

Let's listen to this with Chris Cody and again I ask you simply to see where it is that he's trying to summon something that sounds authentic, but you can tell his enthusiasm is fake. All right, don't edit it then. Mike.

Sheets and giggles. Insanely soft eucalyptus sheets are a perfect gift for your wife or husband this year. And it's a heavy. I was actually. I think we're getting somewhere. That was a decent one. Glad we can make fun of Roy today.

[Chris Cody]

I'd like to play for you guys and I'm hoping I'm surprising all of you when I do this. We all know that Jim Harbaugh is unusual. And Jim Harbaugh has recently done a very easy, smart thing where he just says, justin Herbert is not only one of the best quarterbacks going today, he's one of the best quarterbacks of all time. It costs him nothing to say that. It's just a good move. And everyone can talk about his quarterback and whether he is as great as Jim Harbaugh says he is or not.

[Tony]

Are you saying Jim doesn't believe what's coming out of his mouth?

[Chris Cody]

I'm just saying that showing belief in your quarterback, maximum belief in your quarterback, is not anything that's going to cost him other than us thinking, oh, Jim Harbaugh is strange. Which we already thought anyway, so it doesn't matter. He's just creating a discussion point that brings attention to his quarterback. And I'm actually of the belief that he has brought relief to his quarterback, who was the face of that franchise. And it's kind of boring on purpose during interviews because it doesn't seem like he wants that. It seems like he just wants the ball. So Harbaugh comes in here and he comes in over his quarterback and he praises him this way. Way. But even by the strange standards of Jim Harbaugh and winning will cover up a lot of things, including Corny. I am stunned by what happens at the end of this high five video in an NFL locker room. You guys tell me if you see the ending of this coming because what breaks out in a celebration. You've just beaten Joe Burrow at his best. You are one of the best teams with one of the best records in the league. Jim Harbaugh is happy. This locker room is happy. This is not how I expected a locker room celebration in the NFL to end. This could be one of the best high fives ever. Yeah. Give each other high five.

[Jessica]

20 CB. No one has sung that song since the 20th century, ma'am.

[Tony]

But how did that locker room of players know that song?

[Chris Cody]

All.

[Tony]

All of them.

[Dan LeBatard]

That is a big bunch of Clark Gable films.

[Tony]

He.

[Dan LeBatard]

He also did this at. At Michigan, too. Like, he. They did this in the locker room after the national championship game. I'm pretty sure this is just one of those Harbaugh things, like the who's got it better than us. They just do weird stuff. I don't know what to say.

[Tony]

You know, Harbaugh has taken your whole quarterbacks. Once they throw an interception, get off the field. He's taking it to the next level. Justin Herbert is not allowed to high five ed anyone. He doesn't want him to hurt his hand. This guy, he is prepared for everything. Harbs.

[Chris Cody]

For he's a jolly good fellow so strange.

[Stugotz]

I'm with you, dad.

[Jessica]

Is it Little Caesar? Was that the movie with Edward G. Robinson?

[Tony]

I think so.

[Jessica]

And then, like, he's like. He does this when they sing. Remember when they used to do this? He's like, hey, thanks, guys. Thanks, fellas. You do a little fist shake.

[Chris Cody]

I'm trying to think of something that could have broken out older in the Chargers locker room from a retirement home in the 1970s. More than what broke out in four.

[Jessica]

He's a jolly good fellow Allow me to try. The Camptown Ladies sing this song. Doo dar doo dah the Camptown race is five times long oh, to do dar day Gone run all night Gone run all day that.

[Stugotz]

I got it. Trailers for sail around. Rent room still at 50s. That would have been old, too. Come on.

[Roy]

Hang on, Sloopy. Hang, Sloopy. Hang on.

[Chris Cody]

What happened?

[Jessica]

That one's old.

[Amin Elhassan]

What is that?

[Jessica]

That's the. I don't know.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah. Oh, I. I think.

[Dan LeBatard]

For He's a jolly good Fellow's older than all of these.

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Amin Elhassan]

1862.

[Chris Cody]

You guys are doing a very poor job of coming up with something better than For He's a Jolly Good Fellow. That's not bad right there.

[Jessica]

That's not older than For He's a jolly good Fellow.

[Chris Cody]
