[Stugotz]

I'm understanding that some people are upset. They're upset at me. I didn't know this until right now. What are you laughing about, Juju?

[Diana Rossini]

What? You're laughing at my pain, at my suffering?

[Stugotz]

Yeah, it's. It's unfair. And I know what happened. I felt it when it happened. And I went into the other room and I asked Chris, can we get Diana on for five more minutes at the end of the show so people will stop freaking out about. They thought I was mean to her and I did.

[Diana Rossini]

I could just feel it. I could just feel it. Even though Diana's kind of crazy, the insiders are crazy. And she was distracted and she.

[Mike Ryan]

You're making it better.

[Sarah Spain]

It's a weird apology.

[Diana Rossini]

She. I felt like. I felt like she was super distracted during our segment and her thoughts were racing because her mind was elsewhere. And so I wanted to give her the reprieve of, do you want to stop working over here so you can do what you have to do over there?

[Chris Cote]

I felt the exact same energy from her. It seemed like she was like, I'm here because I like these guys, but I have something I really need to be doing. So I just felt like we were throwing her a bone of like, hey, you don't have to be here.

[Mike Ryan]

No, that's right. We were throwing her a bone and She's a big enough girl to say, yes, I need to step away. And said, no, I'm fine.

[Stugotz]

No.

[Diana Rossini]

But she also fled the shot for nine minutes because she wasn't fine while I needed to talk to her.

[Sarah Spain]

So if we were to have called her back for the five minutes, it would be for her to apologize to us.

[Diana Rossini]

I don't even know if she's upset. I think she was distracted during.

[Sarah Spain]

Figure that out next.

[Stugotz]

Okay, we'll talk to her about it again.

[Diana Rossini]

I wanted to actually do football with her. What other complaints do people. I'm sorry, Diana. I will apologize to her on and off air.

[Stugotz]

And also, she's a crazy person.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, come on, man.

[Mike Ryan]

Why is it so distracting? Someone else broke the Adam Theon story.

[Stugotz]

All right?

[Mike Ryan]

Life moves on.

[Stugotz]

That's correct. That's how you react to that if you're a normal human being? That is correct.

[Ali OOP]

Yes, sir.

[Juju]

Also, Amin el Hassan was clearly lying. You don't know nothing about Adele wedding. He's not invited to the Kelsey. He just came on here today and spit a whole bunch of lies to us. Salute to my brother.

[Diana Rossini]

It did seem like almost total fraudulence, but. But Mike got sucked in by a means credibility. Being an insider. Is that what happened? Like, because Mike believes that Amin knows what no one else knows, which is that Adele was able to keep secret her marriage to rich Paul.

[Mike Ryan]

I think Amin done stepped in it. Juju.

[Tony]

Mm.

[Juju]

I'm picking up what you putting down brothers ass.

[Stugotz]

It doesn't seem like you are, though.

[Diana Rossini]

It seems like you're calling Amin a liar. You're saying that he. That he. That he made something up and then fled the premises with lies.

[Ali OOP]

Yes, sir.

[Juju]

Once y' all doubled back. And then he just kept this topic on the Kelsey's and being invited. I'm like, oh, they got my boy. I know that look on his face.

[Diana Rossini]

Seen it plenty of time every once in a while.

[Stugotz]

Because Juju's got an artist eye. He likes to find things that are artistic. So I ask you guys this question here. What is this photo of? How would you describe this photo to the audio audience? Juju.

[Juju]

Oh, man. Perfection within a tennis racket. It's like Ghost face killer meets Casper the Friendly ghost meets Jasmine Paolini. Like the. The photographer, Ray. I want to say his name right? Ray Gubilia. Please forgive me, brother.

[Mike Ryan]

Nailed it.

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Juju]

But yeah, he took the perfect picture. Well timed, where the. The tennis racket logo is perfectly placed over her eyes, nose, and mouth. And she looks like she's about to rob somebody. And I. It always makes me think of my brother, Billy Gill, because he says, photographers are just lucky guys. They just be. Do you think that that was luck, or do you think that that was brilliant by Brother Ray?

[Sarah Spain]

I mean, I will say this. I did have a lot of people send me that photo. Some said things, some didn't say things. I saw. You know, some people say this shot was one in a million. And I said, you know what? I agree with that. It's one in the 1 million photos Ray took in that moment and then went through and said, oh, wow, this lines up perfectly. So great job, Ray. You killed it with the shutter speed. And that one was in there. One of the million that you took in that situation.

[Dan Le Batard]

Juju, this photo reminds me of dead presidents.

[Tony]

Do you agree?

[Ali OOP]

Yes, sir.

[Juju]

Absolutely, bruh. Absolutely. And this photo actually inspired me to make a top 10 list of best sports photos ever that I can think of.

[Mike Ryan]

Whoa.

[Diana Rossini]

Top 10? A top 10 list of best photos.

[Stugotz]

Okay, let's do this.

[Diana Rossini]

Oli.

[Stugotz]

Or just number 10.

[Juju]

Number 10, Dominique Foxworth on the ground watching Michael the Burner Turner sprint for a touchdown.

[Chris Cote]

Great one.

[Stugotz]

A highly questionable favorite.

[Ali OOP]

Yes, sir.

[Juju]

All you see is Foxworth and pay dirt. Number nine, Vince Carter jumps over the brother in the Olympics, Frederick Weiss.

[Ali OOP]

Yes, sir.

[Juju]

Steel.

[Ali OOP]

How.

[Diana Rossini]

That's all you know about Frederick Weiss?

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, yeah. It's all anyone knows about it.

[Diana Rossini]

That's. That name is just associated with. Vince Carter jumped over.

[Mike Ryan]

His family learned about him that day.

[Juju]

Number eight, Kawhi Leonard, waiting for the ball to end the Philadelphia 76ers season masterpiece.

[Stugotz]

Great list.

[Juju]

Number seven, Billy Gill, soaring in the air mid pole vault.

[Stugotz]

Oh, I'm not even sure that's the best Billy Gill photo we have. Unless you have Billy Gill. Yeah, Billy Gill beating Pablo Torrey and Amino Hassan in a race.

[Juju]

Yes, sir. Number five with my. Number six, Brandy Chastain celebrates in the only way she knew how.

[Stugotz]

It's a good list of photos so far.

[Ali OOP]

Yes, sir.

[Juju]

Number five, Allen Iverson steps over Tyron Lou in the only game they got in that championship.

[Mike Ryan]

Yes.

[Stugotz]

That's very high, juju.

[Diana Rossini]

That's.

[Stugotz]

You're putting that high on the list.

[Ali OOP]

Yes, sir.

[Juju]

Number four, Billy Gill beats Pablo and I mean, looking like Superman himself in the foot race.

[Mike Ryan]

Iverson.

[Diana Rossini]

It's a great photo.

[Stugotz]

It deserves to be ahead of Iverson.

[Tony]

Yep.

[Juju]

Number three, Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston. Got his ass.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's three.

[Tony]

Wow. Yeah.

[Juju]

Number two, Michael Jordan. Michael Jeffrey Jordan over Byron Russell for the championship.

[Stugotz]

So that's the best photo I've ever seen. When I saw ESPN the magazine put it on, it was, it was a giant photo and it's put on two pieces of giant paper.

[Diana Rossini]

And you can see, you can see all the Utah fans are terrified because.

[Stugotz]

They know Michael Jordan and the ball's in the air. And one or two Bulls fans are like celebrating because they know the ball's gonna go in.

[Mike Ryan]

I think it's one Bulls fan. It's like a kid who's in the crowd holding up six fingers, right?

[Diana Rossini]

It was crazy to see all the fear around him.

[Stugotz]

And the one bit of confidence was the kid in the stands who knew that it was Michael Jordan taking the shot.

[Ali OOP]

Yes, sir.

[Juju]

And the number one sports photo of all time, Tommy Smith and John Carlos in the Olympic medal stand. Black power, baby.

[Stugotz]

This is why juju is wrong. It's only because the umpire who got hit in the nuts three times and.

[Diana Rossini]

Fell dead behind home plate was a better photo. Was a better taken earlier this week.

[Chris Cote]

We have breaking news. While Schefter reported 30 minutes ago that the Rasheed Rice suspension could be a potential six games, it is now being reported by many, including Diana Rossini. Rasheed Rice has accepted a six game suspension that will start week one. He'll be eligible to return October 19th, week seven against the Raiders.

[Stugotz]

Not invited to the Kelsey.

[Sarah Spain]

Well, you think he'd be back for the wedding? I doubt that it'll be that quick a turnaround.

[Diana Rossini]

Juju, did you have any opinions on.

[Stugotz]

How it is that we broke down poorly the Kelsey and Taylor Swift marriage? I think I've got the order of those names wrong.

[Tony]

Right.

[Juju]

I think that everybody on the Chiefs is probably invited.

[Sarah Spain]

Same way Q did it here. He just said, hey, anyone want to go just send me an email. I'll send you an invite.

[Tony]

Right? Right.

[Juju]

He maybe have to but because of the popularity of the wedding, it may have to get shrunk down. So I'm more so thinking like you guys after hearing your argument, but I was thinking everybody's invited. But yeah, that's going to be an exclusive and expensive ticket. I think they should just do it Queen Elizabeth style. Like just drive through Manhattan, man, and just end up where the Liberty made the parade last year and just get married in front of the masses. Invite everyone.

[Mike Ryan]

This is definitely one of those secret location weddings, right. Where you don't find out where the actual wedding is until they.

[Stugotz]

I just don't know how you do any of this. You can't invite all the Chiefs and.

[Diana Rossini]

Plus one, you can't do that. You can't do that. Like, it can't be all the Chiefs.

[Sarah Spain]

Wait, why?

[Diana Rossini]

And plus ones. Because then all of a sudden you've got a bunch of people at your wedding you don't know.

[Chris Cote]

I mean, I'm telling you, every teammate is not being invited.

[Mike Ryan]

No chance.

[Chris Cote]

100.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm going max. 10 teammates.

[Chris Cote]

No, I, I, I think it could be in the 20s, but it's going to be people he considers friends.

[Diana Rossini]

Juju, what did you think about the.

[Stugotz]

Argument about the ring? I could not believe that they were shaming Travis Kelce for the ring bought. As if we're all diamond experts around here, right?

[Juju]

I'm pretty sure that thing costs a pretty penny, whether it was the band made out of vibranium, something that's more than meets the eye that we could see. So I'm pretty sure it cost more than two months of his pay salary.

[Stugotz]

You mentioned Kawhi earlier in your top 10 list. Kawhi and Anthony Edwards are in China. There has been, I mean, every year this trip produces some good stuff, right?

[Juju]

Kawhi is one of the funniest people in the entire world to me, without trying at all. Somebody interviewed him about what does he say during the games? He was like, wet ball. When I'm, when I know the shot going in, I like to say wetball. And he's saying this to the little Chinese lady reporter, bro. It's just like so hilarious. Ant man, as soon as he touched down in China, he said Nihau was happening in Atlanta style, like masterpiece Beauty. Then he took a picture with Yao Ming and was like, salute to the legend. I would have dunked on y'. All. Salute to the legend. I just think we should just follow them brothers around China more than once a year because there's been nothing but great content coming from out of them boys.

[Stugotz]

We're going to update the polls here in a second, but I want to remind people to find all of the stuff that Juju is doing for us. Ali OOP does an exceptional job of covering an assortment of things basketball related and not juju. Tell people where it is to find you before we get to these polls, please.

[Ali OOP]

Yes, sir.

[Juju]

It's on the YouTube. Go to DLS Hoops. That's at DLS Hoops. Please help us help a brother out. We got some episodes coming out with great people. The commissioner, Sarah Spain. We got a lot of other people that's from, from the universe that you would love. You feel me? So please give us some love over there. Podcast side of things. Just it's out in the Levitard and Friends podcast network. So pretty much the one you're listening to right now, you can catch the pod vers. But, yeah, man, Ali, you're going crazy right now. Wnba, a lot of stuff. People remember earlier during the season, Dan, he was like, asia Wilson got a wrist injury. And you asked me, oh, does this spell trouble? And I was like, bro, they gonna be all right. And they are more than all right. They don't want 11 games in a row. Now fighting for the second place tonight here in Atlanta. You know your boy will be there. But, yeah, man, dls, hoops, lock in with us.

[Stugotz]

Where does this rank in terms of biggest games that the Atlanta Dream have played, in terms of how it is that you feel about your franchise and your history with this franchise?

[Tony]

Right.

[Juju]

Last game they won. They broke their single season record for wins. So we are in unprecedented territory right now. If we can hold out the aces tonight and try to almost lock in that number two seed, I will be. This will be the most confident version of myself entering the WNBA playoffs thinking that we have a chance.

[Stugotz]

Let's update the polls here at lebatard show, please. What do we have today?

[Ali OOP]

Yes, sir.

[Juju]

Is the eastern time zone the lord's time zone? 59% of the audience says yes, it is.

[Mike Ryan]

I know.

[Juju]

Did Travis Kelsey go cheap on the ring?

[Stugotz]

Unbelievable.

[Diana Rossini]

Like, unbelievable. I can't believe how many people are comfortable doing this.

[Tony]

Right.

[Juju]

54% of the audience says yes, he did. What is wrong with y'? All?

[Mike Ryan]

I can see that.

[Tony]

Right?

[Juju]

Are you in on any movie that has a guy and a dog? 67% of the audience says yes, they are. And last poll is the Navy. Easier than Georgia Tech. My brothers, my sisters. This has never happened before in the history of the show.

[Sarah Spain]

No, no.

[Juju]

50 of the audience says yes, and 50% of the audience says no. Wow. And those are your polls.

[Diana Rossini]

Not possible. Not possible. Did not happen. Don't believe you, liar. Like Amino Hassan. Lying.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hey, Tony. Hey, Mike. Hey, man. Summer's almost ending, man. I don't like that. There's no way. There's no way I am excited about cooler temperatures. But down here in South Florida, that just means slightly less boiling hot. It's been a pretty incredible summer. We've had a parade down here. We've grown our family down here at Meadowlark Media, a lot of exciting things, a lot of memorable benchmarks. And along the way, at almost every step, I've been tailed by that beautiful white can of Miller Lite. Oh, that beautiful white or the brown bottle, you can do it on draft.

[Chris Cote]

Draft is crisp.

[Dan Le Batard]

There's been so many great special times, and each time I've decided to make those special times a Miller Time.
