Dan LeBatard
Welcome to the Big Sui presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show, the podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBatard podcast?
Stugotz
I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.
Dan LeBatard
In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys.
Stugotz
I've done it.
Dan LeBatard
And now here's the marching man to Nowhere Fat face and the habitual liar.
Roy Bellamy
This episode of the Dan Levatard show Stugots is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours. I want to do a quick callback to yesterday's show. Roy did a great job dressed as a hockey player. The whole show fully in uniform, pads and everything. Skates, the socks, the tape, like fully in uniform the entire show. And then afterwards he's like, oh, I got to go pick up my daughter. I got to go into the hockey rink. We're going to do a little like, he's trying to play hockey. Right. So you wanted to.
Chris Cote
I'm so nervous for you.
Roy Bellamy
So he's like, I'm going to kill two birds here. Like, I'm. I'm going to go play hockey right now.
Dan LeBatard
Hold on.
Billy Gil
Wait a second, wait a second. So there was a hockey pickup game?
Greg Cody
No, it wasn't pickup game.
Dan LeBatard
No. What?
Greg Cody
It's called stick and puck, where you can go out there and you can practice and do open play.
Chris Cote
Not to be confused with stick and pick.
Roy Bellamy
Right. Exactly.
Billy Gil
Pop.
Roy Bellamy
I got a tweet yesterday. Just like a random tweet from a guy being like, hey, just saw Roy Bellamy walking into the practice facility in the full uniform.
Dan LeBatard
Oh, did you?
Roy Bellamy
Which implies that Roy. And he said he had to pick up his daughter. Roy went. Picked up his daughter and then drove in full uniform. I mean, clearly couldn't have been driving with the skates on.
Greg Cody
No.
Roy Bellamy
So maybe the skates came off, but other than that, full. Did you have the helmet on for the entire drive?
Greg Cody
No, it was in my hockey bag. What happened was apparently a little bit after the show and he told me that I had to pick up Claire. I was going to go straight from here to the war memorial.
Roy Bellamy
The visual you did you. Is this car line pickup.
Greg Cody
No.
Dan LeBatard
You had to get out.
Greg Cody
I had to get out. I had to walk to the front.
Billy Gil
No, Roy, that's not true. Stop.
Greg Cody
Is very much true.
Chris Cote
Did you put the mask back on?
Greg Cody
No.
Chris Cote
They wouldn't actually see your face?
Greg Cody
No. No.
Billy Gil
You put sneakers on.
Chris Cote
What kind of response did you get?
Greg Cody
I got my Jordan's on right now. I wore my Jordan.
Roy Bellamy
So you had like, was. Did you feel the need to explain it?
Greg Cody
No.
Roy Bellamy
You're just.
Greg Cody
No.
Chris Cote
Did anybody ask you any questions or was it just understood?
Greg Cody
Oh, you know, one person. One person. My friend Alina, who goes to my church, she asked me, did you go to work today?
Dan LeBatard
No. Did you?
Chris Cote
She thinks that that's what you do.
Roy Bellamy
She's like, I knew you worked in sports, but I didn't know it was this literal.
Greg Cody
Yeah. I said, yeah.
Dan LeBatard
What it is is she's like, roy works at a crazy person's place where they make him dress up and do wild stuff. So she's. He could have been dressed as anything. He could have been dressed as a dragon.
Chris Cote
What happened was they brought in this seven foot English guy and he told me I had to wear this costume.
Roy Bellamy
And here I am, 68.
Billy Gil
Don't give him that much.
Dan LeBatard
By the Way the ad that Dan did for the watch along with Footfoot. Yeah, Footfoot. That's what I want to get to. The cat's name is Footfoot.
Jessica
Look, even I think that's lame as.
Dan LeBatard
Come on, man.
Jake Plummer
Wow.
Dan LeBatard
And now, Chris, imagine you could talk to animals. What do you think Foot's saying right there in that video?
Chris Cote
I think Footfoot's saying, dan, it's not 420 quite yet. Why was he wearing sunglasses?
Roy Bellamy
He's like, dakotch is so right. You are fat.
Dan LeBatard
Footfoots. Like, I don't want to have anything to do with this. Right? And that's. Dude, if you could talk to animals, I'm telling you, most of the time you're gonna get this right? You're gonna get like an animal saying, leave me alone.
Greg Cody
Yeah, Especially cats.
Dan LeBatard
Look at that cat. That cat saying, leave me alone.
Chris Cote
What a terrible choice, wanting to talk to animals.
Roy Bellamy
No, you guys are off on this. You're still gonna do this. No. Based off of the social meat. You guys are outnumbered, by the way, okay?
Billy Gil
Cuz we're the only ones that are smart.
Roy Bellamy
I saw, I was looking, scrolling through comments, way more people writing animals in the comments.
Chris Cote
But here's the thing. I'm pretty sure, like, take me back in time, like, have me talk to or go to the future after I've already talked to animals. I'm pretty sure I can tell you before I learn to talk to them what they're already saying, man, you've already picked it.
Dan LeBatard
You wasted it. You wasted. You wasted your genie wish. Learning. First of all, this is the thing that someone, someone brought up yesterday. I wish I had remembered it during the show. Talking to animals. Animals are dumb. Like most animals, some of them are smart.
Roy Bellamy
But we assume that. No, no, I think there's some depth there.
Billy Gil
Science eat their own shit.
Dan LeBatard
Yeah. Like, they're dumb.
Roy Bellamy
They smell it.
Chris Cote
No, they roll in it. It's different.
Dan LeBatard
I remember reading this thing where the guy was talking about if you could talk to like a lion, you wouldn't even understand. Even if you guys understood the language, you still wouldn't understand because the lion is like, food me, dude.
Roy Bellamy
Yes.
Dan LeBatard
Not yet. Just like, it'll be random things. It would just be random stuff. And you're like, what the hell are you talking about?
Chris Cote
And like, be honest with yourself. And this. Maybe this room is not the people to do this with. Be honest with yourself. If you are like, when are you more curious? When you're sitting there thinking, man, I wonder what my dog thinks when I leave the House. Or I wonder what this nail tech is saying about me right before she starts cracking up. Like, I want to know what she said.
Dan LeBatard
I want to laugh.
Chris Cote
Like, that's why I said this room is probably not the best room.
Dan LeBatard
I knew.
Stugotz
I knew exactly.
Chris Cote
Roy's hands always look manicured.
Greg Cody
Not today. I need to snip them. Yeah, these need to be done.
Roy Bellamy
You got yourself, huh?
Dan LeBatard
Yeah.
Greg Cody
I mean, I'm not going to go. I'm not going to go to a salon.
Roy Bellamy
I get a pedicure.
Chris Cote
Why not, Roy?
Greg Cody
I don't know. It's just not in me.
Roy Bellamy
I don't do manicures. I do ped. Every once in a while, I go to get a pedicure. It's nice.
Dan LeBatard
Well, you like a foot rub?
Roy Bellamy
Ah, just relax a little foot rubber.
Chris Cote
I don't. I don't like people messing around down there.
Dan LeBatard
Really?
Chris Cote
Hey, now, not on my feet.
Roy Bellamy
There's just a lot of place you going to.
Chris Cote
It's just. You know, I once kicked my aunt in the nose because she accidentally, like, messed with my foot. And I didn't know what was happening.
Dan LeBatard
Whack.
Chris Cote
And got her right in the nose. And it's just like, I don't know what's gonna happen when you get in there. Get in there.
Dan LeBatard
Oh, man. They just.
Billy Gil
But that's kind of close to what it's gonna look like in, like, 30 years.
Roy Bellamy
That's why I'm going to get a pedicure.
Dan LeBatard
Really?
Roy Bellamy
I'm just like, I' dad's feet, and I'm like, we gotta.
Greg Cody
Why are we doing this?
Dan LeBatard
Get off the screen. But I do want to say this. The generation before us, like, my dad, your dad. What did they do? Did they, like. They. Were they just walking barefoot, kicking boulders.
Chris Cote
But wait, that's. That's not as bad as LeBron James's foot.
Dan LeBatard
Oh, man.
Stugotz
Let's not do that.
Greg Cody
No, no, do not put down the screen.
Chris Cote
We don't have to put it up. But when you compare, it's like, hey, Greg, Cody, not that bad.
Roy Bellamy
How does he. How is LeBron not in pain with that? Right, I've seen that. Like, that is.
Dan LeBatard
First of all, his foot's like a loaf of bread.
Roy Bellamy
The big toes, like, the big toes, like, swept underneath his foot.
Chris Cote
Like it's dislocated.
Dan LeBatard
His foot is like a loaf of bread. And then the toes aren't. They're just, like, hovering.
Roy Bellamy
This is actually a good version of it. I've seen a way worse version of it.
Chris Cote
Yes.
Dan LeBatard
Recently from the Lake Olaf. This is this is back when he.
Greg Cody
Was still in Miami.
Roy Bellamy
This is as clean of one as we're going to see, though.
Chris Cote
It's doesn't look like a pinky toe as much as it looks like a wart.
Roy Bellamy
His big toe nail is Greg Cody status almost at this point, it's like, totally. It looks way worse than that.
Greg Cody
I'm about to throw up.
Roy Bellamy
All right, guys.
Dan LeBatard
You're right. Like, how is he not in pain all the time?
Chris Cote
Greatest athletes we've ever seen.
Dan LeBatard
It's great. Exactly. And then I started thinking about it. I was like, what if that's the secret. What if. The secret to what if my dad was a great athlete? He talks about it, and I never believe him. He's like, yeah, I ran track in college, and da da. I'm like, okay, right? Because I played soccer with him, and I'm like, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. But I also played with him when he was an old man. So maybe when he was young. Maybe when he was young, he was like, an incredible athlete. And the secret was his feet were awful. I have amazing feet. I've been complimenting my feet many a time. Right?
Greg Cody
Do not. Don't.
Dan LeBatard
No, I'm not gonna do that.
Greg Cody
Thank you.
Dan LeBatard
Dan's not here. We're not gonna wait.
Chris Cote
This is like a boomerang thing where you're like, somebody will pull up the covers and see your feet and be like, ah, this one's a keeper.
Dan LeBatard
I mean, yeah, kind of, man. Like, you've been complimented multiple times. Multiple times. And, like. And not in any situation where I thought a compliment was forthcoming. Like, I'm just hanging out and like, yo, my feet and my hands apparently have a really, really good hands. I'll show you guys. My hands.
Roy Bellamy
They generally run hand in hand. No pun intended.
Dan LeBatard
Like, hand in foot.
Roy Bellamy
If. If it's rare that you have. Like, your feet are just gross. And you have these beautiful hands. Generally, I think they're on the same page.
Dan LeBatard
What do LeBron's hands look like?
Roy Bellamy
Let's see.
Dan LeBatard
Let's look up LeBron's hands. But is this like this?
Roy Bellamy
Are we any other professions where your tool that you use gets like, a singer is like, the inside of their throat? Like, what?
Dan LeBatard
No, keep going.
Roy Bellamy
I'm just saying, like, what other professions? Like a cook, like, they. You get these calluses on your hand? Like, yeah, that happens. What other professions it happens to with LeBron's feet?
Jessica
Adele. This happened to Adele, Right? Where if you're singing improperly or you don't have like, you have this type of wear and tear on your voice where you can develop nodes on your vocal cords. And so in turn, you can't sing. You need to go on vocal rest.
Billy Gil
But you can't see that though. That's inside.
Jessica
You can't see it, which is fair. It's not like you're all of a sudden you get like swollen in your neck or anything like that.
Dan LeBatard
Have like a last of us kind of like grow different.
Jessica
But it is through using your instrument. It. It can be wear and tear.
Dan LeBatard
So this is LeBron's hands. Not bad.
Roy Bellamy
Nice, actually.
Dan LeBatard
Nice hands.
Billy Gil
Was he boxing there?
Roy Bellamy
Was.
Billy Gil
This is for a box.
Dan LeBatard
This is after he was this when he broke his hand. But he didn't let us know until after the finals. Yeah, this is the J.R. smith finals. Right.
Chris Cote
Those hands are fine. Although the pinky, you can see the resemblance to the pinky toe.
Stugotz
You see a little bit.
Dan LeBatard
Can we zoom in? Zoom in on that pinky, please?
Chris Cote
Yeah, it's definitely from the same body.
Dan LeBatard
Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Chris Cote
It's got a little extra arch to.
Dan LeBatard
It for some reasoning there.
Stugotz
It's.
Dan LeBatard
It's a little Hunchback of Notre Dame going on there.
Chris Cote
That's why he's not like a 45, three point shooter.
Dan LeBatard
There you go. That's what I always say. My. My pinky finger.
Roy Bellamy
If it wasn't what's happening right now.
Dan LeBatard
Yeah, this is cool. This is. I like, I like this arts and crafts part, especially for the listeners, the ones who can't see what we're doing. What we're having is a copy and paste and then zooming. And now. And now it's almost psychedelic the way I'm looking at all these LeBron fingers coming at me, bro.
Roy Bellamy
Well, luckily soon we will have someone who's an expert on psychedelics.
Stugotz
Really?
Roy Bellamy
Jake Plummer. I also have a list here of.
Chris Cote
Thought it was Aaron.
Roy Bellamy
Other names that connote professions.
Dan LeBatard
Oh, Jake Plummer.
Chris Cote
We're saving that for Jake, right?
Roy Bellamy
You can save it for him if you'd like.
Dan LeBatard
Cool. Yeah. Jake the Snake Plummer.
Chris Cote
Wow. He's a plumber, right? Jake Plummer. But his nickname is also a tool that you use as a plumber.
Dan LeBatard
Yeah, that's why. That's why they call him the Snake.
Roy Bellamy
Really Feel like Jake the Snake is such a.
Chris Cote
Not because it rhymes with Jake.
Roy Bellamy
No, that it's such a lazy nickname.
Dan LeBatard
Jake the Snake.
Roy Bellamy
Jake the Snake. We got the word, we got the name Jake. All right. What can we rhyme it with? All right. What? Anyone got any Ideas?
Dan LeBatard
Jake.
Roy Bellamy
Snake. Rhymes with Jake. All right, that's it. Good meeting, everyone. Let's go. Let's go to lunch.
Dan LeBatard
Jake the Baker. I mean, for 420, maybe.
Billy Gil
Jake and Bake.
Dan LeBatard
Jake and Bake. Oh, Jake and Bake.
Roy Bellamy
Now we're cooking. That's a better nickname.
Dan LeBatard
We are cooking. Gas fire. No. So you guys don't like Jake the Snake as a nickname?
Roy Bellamy
I just think it's lazy. Yes, it's just like lazy.
Chris Cote
It's just stolen from a wrestler.
Dan LeBatard
Right.
Chris Cote
That was that.
Roy Bellamy
I'm like, I'm. Whoever thought of it first. You thought you were doing something and you weren't.
Dan LeBatard
Jake thought of its first.
Roy Bellamy
It was probably Jake or Jake.
Greg Cody
Someone next to Jake.
Dan LeBatard
Exactly. Well, we might have a Kobe Bryant situation where Jake gave himself the nickname.
Greg Cody
Yeah.
Chris Cote
Or that wrestler stole it from perhaps a porn actor like Jake the Snake. You don't think that's a good porn name?
Roy Bellamy
That would be a good porn name.
Dan LeBatard
I don't. What's the.
Roy Bellamy
It's the reference.
Chris Cote
The snake being a wiener.
Dan LeBatard
Oh, got it. It's a cock joke. Got it. Jake the Snake. Oh, yeah. And then who would Jake the Snake be starring with? Who's a co star in this vehicle?
Chris Cote
Oh, I don't know. An elephant plumber.
Dan LeBatard
Yes.
Roy Bellamy
Fat Matt.
Dan LeBatard
Fat Matt.
Greg Cody
Fat Pat.
Dan LeBatard
Fat Pat.
Stugotz
Fat Maroon.
Dan LeBatard
How about Ivana Humpalot? Right? Was that from Austin Powers? Right? Ivana Humpalot in China.
Roy Bellamy
Oh, yeah. That was such.
Billy Gil
I love when Austin Powers. Who's in he.
Dan LeBatard
Dude, that movie's 30 years old now. Almost still slaps. Crazy. Crazy. Because, like, I think about it, like, I was like. That movie just came out, man.
Roy Bellamy
So many, you know, random lines from.
Chris Cote
What just came out that I. It's great. And it got like. It came in as 100%, I think. Audience score. Rotten Tomatoes just never happened. It's the Seth Rogen show on. On Apple tv. It's studio, right?
Dan LeBatard
So. So watch this. The critics score is like, if it's not 100, it's like 98. The audience score is like 60%.
Chris Cote
Huh?
Dan LeBatard
People don't like it. And you know why I realize what it is?
Chris Cote
Can I tell you why I have a hard time with it?
Dan LeBatard
Oh, please.
Chris Cote
It's not. It's just when I watch it, like, you can't watch that show. Spoiler alert. I guess if you're trying to wind down because it's very like. It's that show that puts you in the center of awkward situations and you feel like you're in the middle of it because of the way it's shot. And here's the kicker. There's like jazz music happening the whole time and it's like, like jazz music. Very random. So it happened. Whatever is happening, that's what it adjusts to. And I'm just like, man, this gets my heart going. Like, I feel awkward and I just, I need to turn this off. I need to go like an hour before I can go to sleep after watching that.
Dan LeBatard
So.
Chris Cote
But it's still very good.
Dan LeBatard
So I'm sure the awkwardness and the cringiness of some of the situations is. It turns some people off. More than that though, because this show reminds me. You guys ever watched this movie called bowfinger? Came out 1990.
Chris Cote
I love that. Eddie Murphy.
Dan LeBatard
Eddie Murphy. Steve Martin.
Roy Bellamy
Steve Martin wanting to make a movie.
Dan LeBatard
Right without a budget, right? And Bowfinger was like, this is what Hollywood is like for real. These are how. These obviously not to that extent where he said they got no budget and they're trying to shoot around stuff, but like all of the, the kind of obstacles that they meet in trying to get a motion picture made, that's what it's like. And so for most people, they don't like the behind the scenes of how stuff really is. They want their own idealized version of what life is really like over there in Hollywood. This show is obviously they have fun. It's a parody of stuff. But a lot of it is like, yeah, that's really what happens. It's arguments over which director we're gonna use. Well, I made this promise. Well, da da da. And like they're trying to figure all stuff out. And I think people don't like that.
Chris Cote
Yeah, yeah, I can see that. I also see that like a little bit to more of my point of just like they want to, they want to relax when they watch something, right? And this is one of those like they had a scene that I will remember forever. And it's probably. My guess is probably their best scene is when he is backstage in a movie with this woman director and they're trying to get a scene right before.
Dan LeBatard
This one shot because of the light, the sun is setting. And so they, it's one shot to do this.
Chris Cote
And for reasons that he is not entirely. They're not entirely Seth Rogen's fault. And some where it is his fault. He just keeps screwing up the scene. And it's just so like, it just so awkward and cringe worthy. And it's just like I had to stand up, like I stood up from my couch. I Was like, what's gonna happen now, dude?
Dan LeBatard
That. That. That episode.
Chris Cote
Will they get the shot?
Dan LeBatard
I hope they win an Emmy for that episode. Because, by the way, that whole episode was shot as a one.
Chris Cote
Get out of here.
Dan LeBatard
Yep. One take. One take. That whole episode. It's one continuous shot.
Greg Cody
They never one take episode. About a one take.
Dan LeBatard
Yes.
Chris Cote
That's just people flexing. Right. Like, that's adolescence. And this is just like, he. How I do this.
Dan LeBatard
But for this one, this especially, because the episode was about them doing everything in one take. That's why it's not just the sun is setting. It's. They wanted to get it one continuous shot. Moving from ins outside to the pool to inside to back, outside to where they're doing.
Chris Cote
Oh, God. When he walks in front of the actress in the middle of the show.
Dan LeBatard
Hey, how's it going? Nice to see you. And she's like, in the middle of the show.
Chris Cote
That's what I stood up.
Dan LeBatard
Yeah.
Billy Gil
This seems like a show that I would love to watch. The problem is I'm not looking.
Chris Cote
Oh, no.
Greg Cody
Wow.
Chris Cote
Can't look now.
Dan LeBatard
Oh, man.
Roy Bellamy
Don't look now. Presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly, guys.
Billy Gil
I don't know if you're looking. You better not be.
Chris Cote
Nope.
Billy Gil
But I don't know if you listened because we're not looking. I don't know if you listened to the Pat McAfee show yesterday where Aaron Rodgers says, well, in this context, maybe you did because maybe you heard it on TV as you're walking by because you weren't looking.
Dan LeBatard
Didn't see it because we're not looking at it.
Billy Gil
Exactly. Right. Aaron Rogers says retirement's still a possibility, but he's trying to see other offers and feel out other offers. You guys intrigued by that or no?
Chris Cote
Well, he's wearing a mask, right. So he can feel out the offers, but not actually see them. Right. The offers are written in Braille.
Billy Gil
He's playing don't look now.
Roy Bellamy
Right.
Dan LeBatard
Well, don't look now, but he's not gonna retire.
Chris Cote
Somewhere Mike just fell over in Vegas.
Dan LeBatard
He just knocked it to a.
Chris Cote
Like, what happened?
Dan LeBatard
A slot machine? No, this is, I'll retire if no one offers me a job. That's what he's saying, right?
Billy Gil
Exactly.
Chris Cote
I mean, not that we can look, but if you weren't to look. Yeah, it's like, hey, don't look now, Steelers. But I'm still kind of interested. Eventually you'll figure out once you're in training camp that you have nothing. I can come in here and take the job really easy.
Jake Plummer
Easily.
Chris Cote
But don't look now.
Billy Gil
Don't look now. Saints legend Ryan Ramcheck retires. Offensive lineman puts on his Instagram an incredible journey with the Saints.
Dan LeBatard
Wow.
Chris Cote
Wait, how are you reading this? Wow.
Billy Gil
He's not reading it.
Chris Cote
Is it burned into your eyelids?
Roy Bellamy
Even that guy's family is not looking at that.
Dan LeBatard
Oh, and no one.
Billy Gil
Ryan Ramcheck, 30 years old, retired a little bit early, but still very good offensive lineman.
Dan LeBatard
Played. Played for not St. Louis. For new Orleans.
Billy Gil
For New Orleans.
Dan LeBatard
Should have played for the Rams.
Billy Gil
Should have. Ramchuck.
Dan LeBatard
Yeah.
Chris Cote
No, I like that you're not legend. A little loose, right? Like a Saints legend. Is that like saying Jonathan Zaslow is a South Florida media legend?
Dan LeBatard
I mean, he kind of is.
Billy Gil
Who is he on your table?
Chris Cote
Well, I mean, look, I guess you have to be a legend to just come on this show and just beg for tickets for two days. Like, I didn't think Dan allowed that. But apparently, if you're a legend, you allow that.
Roy Bellamy

Dan LeBatard
Don LeBatard did you ever have a crush on a cartoon character?
Mike Ryan
Oh, can I go? This isn't my question, but I did. Jessica Rabbit who framed Roger Rabbit.
Dan LeBatard
Yes. Yes.
Mike Ryan
I think she was married to Roger Rabbit even though he was a bunny and she was a humanoid. But they were both cartoons.
Dan LeBatard
Stugats.
Stugotz
I had a crush on Betty Rubble.
Greg Cody
Oh, wow.
Dan LeBatard
What?
Chris Cote
What?
Greg Cody
That's pretty good. That's pretty good.
Chris Cote
Whoa.
Dan LeBatard
With a surprise nomination from Stugot, showing.
Roy Bellamy
You his dirty, dirty inner 9 year old.
Greg Cody
This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats.
Dan LeBatard
All right, we got a guest on the line. It is the one and only Jake the snake plumber. Jake, welcome to the show. Jake is here. He's the co founder of Umbo Mushrooms and an advocate and entrepreneur for functional mushrooms. Jake, before we get started, let me ask you this question. How many times have you been asked for tickets to events that you are not playing in or part of?
Stugotz
It happens probably two, three times a year. You know, just depending on what's going on. Living in Colorado, you know, the Broncos are always an ask. Somebody, somehow, some way will say, hey, can. Can you get me some tickets to the Broncos when you really want to see Bo Nick? So, no, they don't. Yeah, it happens. But if I can pull it off, I. I do my best if it's somebody that, you know is close to me. But yeah, that ask for ticket thing is, I shamefully admit I asked for tickets too, from people I know that are in the industry of, you know, maybe music or sometimes a sport or whatever. But as long as there's fair trade, I feel it's all right.
Roy Bellamy
What's your go to response when somebody who's not at the level that should be asking you for tickets, but you're just like, okay, definitely not giving this person tickets. What's the go to response to let them down gently?
Stugotz
I usually say, well, they're probably about anywhere from 200 to 250 bucks each.
Roy Bellamy
Yeah.
Stugotz
And then right away that, okay, I thought you got them for free. Free? I said, no, they don't. The Broncos don't just hand out free tickets to anybody that ever played for him.
Chris Cote
Thought that was part of the perks.
Stugotz
Jake was, well, you know, you can work it if you need to. If it's important, I can get free tickets, but it's usually for myself or my family or something like that.
Billy Gil
What was the last tickets you asked for?
Stugotz
Good question. I think it was to a. To a concert to my boy Drew with Satsang. I think I went to a concert of him. He was coming through Colorado, through the Boulder area. So, you know, you call and say, hey, can you leave some tickets? Can I go, can you give me some tickets to the show? And of course, you know, as a friend of ours, good friend of me and Dell Jolly, my buddy with Umbo, you know, he. He was. He's always cool and hooks it up.
Roy Bellamy
Are you, you know, Jake Plummer in Denver? You know, you're not waiting for restaurants, right? We're not doing that game anymore.
Stugotz
Yeah, you know, if I go to a restaurant and there's a long wait, I'm probably going to go to another restaurant. You know, I mean, the food, the food stuff is kind of a funny thing. Like you got a 45 an hour long wait.
Dan LeBatard
What the.
Stugotz
Yeah, what are you serving that's so good? Then you go and you're like, damn, I could make this at home. What am I doing here?
Chris Cote
You know, Jake, I think most people know what Sunday is. It's not just Easter. It's 4:20. But tomorrow is Bicycle Day, which is. I didn't know about. It's the celebration of the first psychedelic trip on LSD by Dr. Albert Hoffman in 1943 in tandem with his bicycle ride home, which I do not recommend from Sandoz Labs. Which day means more in the plumber household? 420 or bicycle day? Because I remember my first trip.
Stugotz
I'm bypassing both of those and looking forward to Earth Day, to be honest with you. Okay. Yeah. You know, back in the day before 20 was always, you know, a pretty funny thing when, you know, when weed was illegal. And now, you know, 420has just become a big, you know, just a bunch of smoke rising from Colorado and surrounding areas that have legalized marijuana. 420 has never really meant a whole lot to me. The 419 is really cool if you think about the history of psychedelics and just imagine being that, you know, Albert Hoffman on his bike realizing, oh my God, I'm tripping on LSD riding my bike. For anybody that's ever tripped on lsd, it could be a phenomenal, amazing ride. And it also could be a ride straight from hell. But you just don't know what's going to happen when you're doing the psychedelics.
Roy Bellamy
For me, 420 people who celebrate. 420 get too excited about it. Amateurs.
Dan LeBatard
Yeah.
Roy Bellamy
If you send me a happy 420 text, it's like, it's like Cinco de Mayo.
Dan LeBatard
Like, people get like, oh, we'll do shots on Cinco May. I'm like, come on, man.
Stugotz
Good. That's a good point.
Jessica
You know, fifth of every month, it's.
Stugotz
Cool how things have progressed, you know, I mean, at least there's progression. Yeah, we're talking about it. We're able to, like, it's not something they have to, you know, go and hide from. It's out there. It's definitely. It's changed things how? They've legalized one, you know, marijuana, and now they're working to decriminalize plants and make them accessible to people that need them.
Dan LeBatard
Jake, I'm curious. We were having a discussion earlier about your nickname, Jake the Snake. Did you. How did you get the nickname? Who gave you that nickname, first of all?
Stugotz
Yeah, well, I mean, my actual legal name is not Jake. So it didn't happen till, you know, when I started playing sports. Probably around the sixth, seventh grade, I think it was the seventh grade. I went to a basketball camp in Idaho up in McCall, Idaho, and the Boise State Bronco basketball players were running that. Chris Childs, who was a Boise State Bronco, was there. Arnell Jones, Doug Satillo, a bunch of guys we looked up to. And when they, my brothers had kind of called me the Snake a couple times, just jokingly, they started calling me Jake the Snake. I read Kenny Stabler's biography, the Snake. I played football. I was hard to catch, slithery, kind of quick. So the, the moniker was. Right, it was good, Ryan, with Jake, all those good things. So I became Jake the Snake, more well known. When I got to asu and on the first fan Fan day, fan fest day, I just started signing Jake the Snake Plumber. You know, everything. I wrote it all out like, here I am, I'm here, I'm fresh from Boise, Idaho, and I'm Jake the Snake. And then that's when it kind of stuck as far as people outside of my family and, you know, some. Some friends locally calling me the Snake.
Dan LeBatard
Hold on, your name isn't Jake?
Chris Cote
That is unbelievable.
Dan LeBatard
What's your. What's your name?
Stugotz
My real name is Jason. So, you know, had that. I got to the third grade and Mrs. Jenkins at Pierce Park elementary, there were. There were four Jason's in the classroom. And so when she got me to bring him into the class, she said, tell me, do you have any other names you go by? I said, well, I've been called Jake. And she said, all right, come on inside. And so we went in and she said, hey, everybody, want to introduce you to the new class. Our new classmate, Jake Plummer. He's here to join us. And from that day, I was Jake.
Chris Cote
That's like finding out that Mickey Mouse's name was like Nicholas and it wasn't really.
Dan LeBatard
It's Nicky.
Stugotz
Yeah. So you know what? If. If it would have been Jason, I don't know what my nickname would have been. Who knows?
Dan LeBatard
Jason the Snakes and Plumber.
Roy Bellamy
Jake settle debate we were having on the show yesterday. Would you rather for the rest of time be able to understand every language in the world or understand animals?
Stugotz
Ooh, man, come on, Jake. I already understand and I already understand animals. I've been in some moments where I can kind of like relate and talk with them. So I would say having the ability to go anywhere in the world and, and communicate would be just. It would open up so many, so many, like, avenues and just be able to go anywhere in the world, be able to communicate would be phenomenal, I think.
Chris Cote
Jake, do you listen to Aaron Rodgers and just sometimes laugh? Because I do.
Stugotz
I mean, I don't laugh, but I don't listen to Aaron Rodgers either. So.
Chris Cote
I'm sorry, I would laugh with you there, but just at that moment, Chris was talking to me. I have no idea.
Dan LeBatard
I want to pull back the curtain for everybody, for Jake, for the listeners, for the viewers, everybody. Every time someone in the shipping container or in the, in the video room has a pithy remark, it mutes everything that's being said. So as we're trying to do an interview, it is the worst possible thing to do because I don't know what Jake just said.
Roy Bellamy
Be a pro. I mean, I'm just trying to get you. All right.
Dan LeBatard
We're trying to help.
Roy Bellamy
I was.
Jessica
And you're going to get mad at us.
Roy Bellamy
I was criticizing his for terrible journalism. The guy said he's talked to animals before and he asked about Aaron Rodgers. I would like a follow up question. What animals have you spoken to?
Stugotz
Okay, well, was that my buddy Dell's? The Jolly Death Ranch, where, you know, you. You come and partake in some, you know, particular plants and your ego dies. So we call it the Jolly Death Ranch. But I had a great conversation with, with Bluto, his black lab. Yeah, we shared an apple, played tug of war. We had a lot of good times. And then. And then another time his chickens came out. And that was a. That was insane. And, you know, talking and like, hearing him talk and, like, talk, having that little bit of interaction with the animals was. Was phenomenal.
Chris Cote
How did you share the apple? Was it like one bite you, one bite the dog, or was it like. It was a situation.
Stugotz
I ate most of it and then it had just the core and so I had the core and I was kind of protecting that. And we were playing, you know, like, that's my bone, not yours. You know, me and Bluto, we're tight, man. He's. She's a great dog.
Roy Bellamy
So tell us. These guys are claiming that if you actually hear what animals are saying, it's. They're not that smart, it's not that interesting. They're just kind of dumb.
Chris Cote
Guarantee you the dog was saying, can I have some apple?
Roy Bellamy
What was the dog like? Was it in depth conversations or was it kind of dumb conversations?
Stugotz
No, I mean it's not like here we're talking like we're not saying words between each other. It's not like I'm talking with, with an actual dog and he's the dog saying words. It's understanding and like looking and feeling out each other. And it's actually a higher level of communication. There's no words needed. We don't have to do blah, blah, this. We're actually like looking at each other and going and, and going over and looking for something in the bushes. You know, it's not a communication thing that we do is almost, you know, is. It's like just a lot of hot air. I don't know if you guys have checked out the, the telepathy tapes. They're the autistic kids that could communicate without talking and they understand. I mean that's like those, they're not considered, you know. You know, as you look at them, they don't talk. Maybe they're non verbal and you're thinking, oh, this kid's really, you know, not as smart as other kids, but they're actually smarter than most people because they don't need to do this blah, blah, blah thing. They can just understand. So animals are diverse. They're amazing. They're super intelligent and I love animals. So now, now that I just said that, I think I'd go with being able to communicate with animals. Yeah. I wouldn't have to fish or do anything. So I'd have a hawk come in, get a fish for me and bring it right over to me. And like, cool, perfect.
Dan LeBatard
So Jake, this was my argument against that is you're assuming just because you can communicate with them that they're actually going to be vibing with you. They might not like you.
Roy Bellamy
Right.
Dan LeBatard
You might say, hey hog, give me a fish and the hogs will get your own.
Chris Cote
Now imagine, Jake, imagine you're on some umbo mushrooms and you're just like having a great trip and in your head every language available, like that would be Wild you talking to yourself in just every language available.
Stugotz
Well, you know that it wouldn't be umbo mushrooms that I'm on because umbo are non psychedelics. True. They're functional mushrooms. We sell our bars at rei. But the, the, the ability they have to make you think clearer, focus and, and hear and understand things non psychedelic wise, you know, they help. But, but the psychedelic ones would be the ones that, you know, if I was on those and was able to, to communicate, you know, with the animals at a deeper level, which there are people out there that have. And even there, there are people out there that, that can understand animals, you know, at a deep, deep level.
Chris Cote
You know, he's changing my mind.
Dan LeBatard
He's. Now you're switching.
Stugotz
I'm telling you, we all understand animals. I mean, if you have a dog, you understand your dog. When you come home, they're so excited to see you and you feel that love, you feel that excitement.
Chris Cote
He wants to walk into a bar and order a drink in any language. And that to me, not as fun as being able to. Yeah. Now had the talk. Go fishing.
Dan LeBatard
For me, that and also like being never being ripped off by a cab driver or by someone selling something in the market. No, because I'm telling you, you walk in as the silly American and they're like, oh, we got one here. And then you flip it on them and you speak in their language with their slang. And that's a big one. When you use their slang, like, wait, this dude is super local. And now they're like, I'm sorry, you know, I thought you were one of them. Here, here, take it for free.
Chris Cote
Now imagine you can get an army of dogs to attack him just on command.
Dan LeBatard
You're. You're still assuming that the do dogs are gonna listen to you. Like the dogs. I'll be like, man, get out of here.
Chris Cote
They listen to me now.
Dan LeBatard
Do they?
Stugotz
Yeah, but what if I had just the ants? I could just have the ants come out of nowhere. You wouldn't even know they were coming. You'd be like, what's that? And all of a sudden the ants take you down.
Chris Cote
That is so true. Answers.
Stugotz
But we're all thinking evil on this. We also could have ants carry us around the world. You know, say, carry me over here. And they would game pick you up as and take you wherever you needed. So moving it could be, I think it'd be a lot more enjoyable having the ability to speak to animals. You could do some wild stuff, dive into the ocean and call a dolphin over and have him take you really fast to the island.
Dan LeBatard
Jake, real quick before we let you go, you got your big pickleball bash today right out in Arizona, which I'm flying to Arizona in a couple hours. How do your pickleball skills compare to your, your quarterbacking skills?
Stugotz
They're pretty similar. You know, I'm not afraid of taking any shot and I'll play really, really, really well for about half the game. Have a moment where I can't hit the ball over the net and then I'll get hot at the end if I have to pick it up and pull the victory out or something. But I love the game, it's a lot of fun. This is a great way to raise some funds for the Good Sport foundation down here in Arizona. Kind of get back in touch with the Valley. Doing some stuff here. Obviously asu, you know, they've had a little resurgence, so been down here a lot and it's like my second home. So it's exciting to be down here. And you know, we got some, some great guys coming out to play. Terrell Owens, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jen Welter just played yesterday with Robert Tate who played in the league for 10 years, DB. So we got a lot of celebs coming out to play and, and have a good time, raise money for a good cause.
Chris Cote
If you're ever down 20 to 14, you want Jake Plummer on your team. I'm sorry, Jason Plummer on your team.
Dan LeBatard
Jason Plummer.
Roy Bellamy
Jake, as someone who's dabbled in microdosing with mushrooms, at what point is it not micro dosing anymore when you take how many tablets?
Stugotz
Well, yeah, I mean that's, everybody's different when it comes to, to the microdosing thing. You know, that's the big term. Now everybody's talking microdosing and that's what we come up with against every day, you know, trying to sell functional mushrooms. I macro dose functional mushrooms. So I take, I take, you know, multiple capsules, our rise capsules. I'll take my, our tincture, our charge and recharge which is a combination of, of a few mushrooms. You know, we are doing this and continuing to, you know, I've been on the show a few times talking about it, but it's continuing to talk to people about our deficiencies. You know, I think we're deficient in vitamins and minerals. We're learning about our soil content, that it's really not producing as rich in nutrient and nutrient dense and vitamin dense vegetables that we're consuming. So this is just a way to introduce A food group into your diet in a, and really in a macro way is what I do. And you know, when you hear someone say micro dosing, it's most of the times about psychedelics or psilocybin mushrooms, but we're dealing with lion's mane, reishi, turkey tail, cordyceps, shiitake, oyster, you know, the mushrooms that are all legal, that are sold at numerous stores throughout. But that's why, you know, with, with talking with a lot of NFL nutritionists, ASU's nutritionists, you know, these players are asking about it, but they don't know where to go to get it because online it's kind of sketchy sometimes. So you never know what you're buying when you're getting this great deal on powdered functional mushrooms online. So that's what we kind of aim to do at UMBO is provide a really high quality, very potent, well extracted product for, for anybody that's an athlete, which means active mind and body, and wants to get out and get after it.
Greg Cody
And how much of this did you get into this because of the pain that you had to deal with at the NFL career?
Stugotz
Well, I was dealing with that for sure when I, when I came across Charlotte's Web, which was with the hemp oil and what that did for my body, it definitely piqued my interest on what other, you know, organisms are out there that are natural that can help help me as I'm 50. And it was cool because yesterday I'm playing pickleball with, with to. He's 51, Robert Tate, he's 52. And we're out there moving, you know, and it's like these, you can go and remain active post football career. And for me, it was definitely to be healthy and to get myself, you know, the preventative medicine to think down the road, not just right now, but to think when I'm 80, what do I want to be like? You know, I don't want to be hobbling around with, with not much memory and, you know, wishing I wasn't here. I want to be active and going. And so these mushrooms are something that I think will help, help do that. And as we pursue this, you know, we're working with a lot of great guys. You see my Corey, the Sandman, he's got a fight coming on, coming out here soon. So he's one of our good buddies and, and he loves the products and people that don't sleep well. Our sleep capsules are amazing, all natural. There's no, there's nothing that's Going to make you drowsy. There's no weird drugs in it. It's all natural. It's just nature at its finest. And I guess now that I'm saying that, I would love to actually, like, probably talk to the animals because then they know more about mushrooms.

I saw a meme that said shout out to the people who tried all the plants and died just to see which ones would be good for us to trip on.
Dan LeBatard
That is yo. That is. I always think about that. It's like, yo, how much trial and error had to happen before we got to. No, no, do this and do this.
Chris Cote
Much like, I've smoked 10 consecutive plants. This 11th one, though, wow.
