Transcript of Dan Learns About Chris Cote's Legendary Revelation | Postgame Show New

So what did I miss last week? What are the things that you guys need to catch me up on? Because I need to get caught up.

I mean, Chris told us something interesting, and he admitted in front of his father, which takes it to a whole other level.

Are you guys going to tell me what that is? Because I saw the—

Tell him, Tony.

I saw the episode description that said simply, Chris Cody makes one of the most shocking revelations in show history.

Yeah.

But I don't know what it is.

Want to take a guess? It involves my wife's twin sister.

So I had a lot of questions. I didn't realize that his wife is an identical twin, so I had a lot of questions as a result, and eventually it led us down a path. Go ahead, Tony, you jump in here.

Yeah, um, you know, Chris, if I may speak freely, Chris is a showman and loves to perform on the biggest stages, and sometimes he can't perform on the biggest stages, so he needs a little bit of stimuli mentally to allow him to finish on some of the biggest stages. And, uh, he needs to be able to, to do that. And pictures people that are very similar in nature, almost identical, I would say. And, uh, you know, that again, he's a showman though, and he brought that to the crowd and to the people for, for them to understand.

I would call it innocently, innocently keeping it fresh.

Chris, what's your favorite part of the stage to finish on?

It's not so innocent though. That is a horrific thing for your wife to learn.

She didn't learn it.

I mean, it's gonna get back to her. I gotta assume that it's something that's going to get back to her. Let's, uh, what else did I miss?

That's my brother-in-law. He's a firefighter. That's another thing. That's not actually him. That's what AI thinks he looks like.

What else did I miss?

Well, I, I had a revelation that everyone was taken aback by. I mean, whatever, but the, the Zaslows, the Zaslo men have not produced a female in over 100 years.

That's crazy.

And that led us down the path of imagining kind of like the SNL Adam Sandler family reunion where they all talk like, yeah, man, like this is the Zazzle where every cousin walks in like, yeah!

Let me tell you, I'm very hungry. What's for dinner? And then 12 people turn to you.

Thai food!

Let's welcome in Juju here. Juju, I urge you all to check out him and Trista on Alleyoop and also Now, as the playoffs ramp up, Juju's going to be appearing with Trista after some of these playoff games on our YouTube channel. Already is, I would assume, already has begun the process of— what are you laughing about? What's, what's Juju laughing about here?

That we got to get my boy Reed. We got to get my boy Reed. It's @DLSHOOPS. That's where you can find us. People always hit me up on the, in the DMs. They be like, where can we find the show? Dan just said alley-oop. It's @DLSHoops on YouTube, and we pop up on the Levitar Show feed whenever episode drop. So check us out. Ya diggits.

Is there anything that needs fixing? Anything in the NBA so far? There aren't a lot of close games. None of these games are close. Are you fixing anything about the NBA postseason?

Yes, sir. Last night is a great example. My boy Victor Wembanyama, he kind of was retaliating for all the stuff, as his coach said, postgame. And that's I think a direct result of the referees getting it wrong too many times, especially in these playoffs. So to help the referees get it right, we need to take it to hockey. Hey, if you get caught flopping on this instant replay, 5 minutes, bruh. I don't give a damn. And your team playing 4 on 5. You feel me? So we gonna eliminate this flopping out the game ASAP. You dig it? What y'all think?

I totally feel you. I've been saying it for years, you know, the NHL has an embellishment penalty. What? Yo, why you laughing?

A major drop field? Joffeal?

Yeah, Joffeal. I totally feel you, Juju. And I think the referees in the NBA should be able to give out technical foul if they believe that a player flopped.

Well, these are two different— that's how you get rid of guys are doing though. A technical foul is one thing. Juju is suggesting 5 minutes of 4 of 5.

It's a minor in hockey.

Like, well, but being down a man, I mean, for half a quarter, did you want to flop?

You feel eliminated now. We going to take it to the extreme. It might be too extreme. So I do feel what Zad's saying. Maybe we give him 5 minutes. You're out of the game. To eliminate it in those last late-minute game situations where he tried to flop with 2 minutes left. Now you're out, bro. And technical foul because we got to help these referees. It's getting crazy out there.

How are we saying that there's a 0.0% chance that Wemby misses another game through suspension? And Amin is saying that he expects it. How is there that gulf that he's expecting Wemby to be suspended for another—

I don't understand the discourse. I guess he has this personality that we're not used to seeing, but that is a tailor-made suspension-worthy elbow he delivered with what looked like, pretty certainly on the replay, with intention.

Called a shot with his eyes.

Here's the problem: you're looking at the elbow, I'm looking at the man, okay? The NBA is not going to suspend him for a pivotal game.

Can't affect the series like that. I'm with Tony.

The NBA will not allow it. They would rather die than not have Victor Yama in there for a Game 5, please.

I think Matthew McConaughey or Samuel L. Jackson, whatever movie, they nailed it on the head. So you have to suspend Wimby. Like, yes, Wimby elbowed him. Yes. Now imagine if Wimby was Draymond. You have to give my boy a game, bro. I'm sorry, we can't make the rules just because you special. That was intentional. You looked at him, bruh. You gotta clear folks out. If you a big man, you are taught to clear them out like this. To clear the space. My boy, talk to him.

You don't think—

Juju, you don't think—

it's a game.

You don't think track record means anything here?

Not in this instance, because the track record of Nasir Reed's throat is different forever now. So you can check that track record.

Juju, did you just reference A Time to Kill?

You did. Come on, man. Salute to Zaz, man. I can't wait to get down there and visit the Zaz.

Yes, I, uh, I, I am legitimately surprised though for Amin to expect to expect a suspension of Wemby. That one caught me off guard because one, one of us is going to be very wrong. We're putting the chances at 0.0%. He's sitting here expecting this and expectation off. I don't have the expectation that he will be— he'll be suspended. Do you have a top 5 list for us, Juju?

Yes, sir, man. Today I dwindled it down to a top 4. But the conversation I was having earlier about funny people in sports and funny broadcasting, it made me think think of a top 4 list of athletes right now who I think are hilarious that should try comedy or broadcasting after they finish.

Couldn't come up with a 5th, huh? Just didn't have it in you.

Hey, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

All right, number 4.

Number 4, Blake Snell. Yes sir, salute, man. My boy be giving them funny mid-game interviews, post-game. He looked like Kenny Powers. I can't wait to see him.

Number 3.

Number 3, Kevin Durant, bro. He is this, people say he's that. People always comment about his burners. Unfortunately, my boy is hilarious as well. Number 2, number 2, Anthony Edwards. I ain't even got to say too much on that one.

You can't put him on a live broadcast, you cannot. You cannot put him on a live broadcast. No, nope. The streaming ain't ready for it. The rules are not ready for it.

And number 1, Jameis Winston, man. I'm watching whatever Jameis do post-career, no matter what.

I want to get—

go ahead.

Also, too, before we move on, I got a little gap. I think that fans should also be allowed to enter the transfer portal. I'm just throwing this out there. It just has nothing to do with Joe Mazzulla and all those threes he keep allowing. But I'm just saying, if you can jump in the transfer portal and you can demand the trade, damn it, so am I. So, uh, let's just, just think that one over, mull it over for the week, please.

Uh, put it on the poll: if you can demand a trade, damn it, so am I, @LebatardShow. Uh, yes or no. We're going to update the polls here in a second. Uh, Tony, big upset in the UFC. Sean Strickland unfortunately has made his way back to our lives.

Uh, Dan, kind of like he never left. The, the biggest underdog twice to win a UFC championship belt, it's been Sean Strickland. When he was a +300 dog against Izzy Adesanya, where he walked him down and absolutely dogged him for 5 rounds. And then now fast forward a couple years later, Sean Strickland beats Khamzat Chimaev, who was thought to be like the one guy that was untouchable, had this incredible ground game, could stand and fight with Sean.

Incredible sportsmanship.

It was. I was not expecting Khamzat to, to be as generous and as gracious as he was to Sean. And, um, is this—

was this a good decision? Did you agree with it?

I, I agree. I agreed with it. Um, in time, when I was really watching it on MMA Hangout, I was like, man, this is going to be tough because Khamzat was controlling and, and didn't really feel like he took a lot of damage. But Juju, I know you were probably watching too. After the first round where Khamzat had him on the floor for 4 minutes, I was like, oh, this is gonna go boring round, just like DDP did where he held DDP down for 20 seconds. Yeah. Him versus DDP was crazy, but it was a 22-minute just onslaught of, I'm gonna take you down, you can't get out of the grip that I have, and it's over.

But I thought that when you're a champion, uh, in order to keep your belt, you have to make it decisive. You don't win a close fight against the champ.

It was decisive in the sense that after the first round, whenever Khamzat would try to shoot and take down Sean Strickland, he defended it with sprawls. He was able to get up whenever Khamzat took him down, and he jabbed him to death. And he jabbed him to death. He, he did not allow him to set up his offense, and And Hamzat on his feet is not the same guy as on the ground. So it was an incredible game plan by Strickland, by Coach Eric Nixick, who we've gone and trained with at Xtreme Couture in Vegas. That, that was— that's my boy, Coach E. So incredible job by Strickland. Nobody thought that he was going to win this fight, and he won as a massive underdog. The fight of the night though, Juju, I think you would agree with me, is Josh Van versus Tatsuro Taira. What a fight, Zazz. I know you guys were locked in. Josh Van was incredible. He is a rising star in this, in this promotion. He's amazing.

Right, my boy stayed in the pocket because bro came out, he was doing a lot, and then my boy just stayed advanced. But as you said as well, Strickland's corner kind of confirmed it after round 1 amongst themselves, like, bro, we just had the first round we were hoping for. Look at him, I'm over there tired, he over there moving too much on the ground one time, you feel me? Come on. So I feel like most definitely he earned the belt, but I was more so concerned— I wanted to get your, uh, take on it, Tom, uh, Tony, after the fight. I just, uh, Strickland said, I just want to apologize to my American fans, my Muslim fans, and my Christian fans. I went too effing hard, I'll admit it. And he also said, hey, Chimaev, I was too racist, right? I want to apologize, I went too far, and I'm sorry. Now my boy done said a lot, bro. Is this any progress, or can we trust this at all? Come on.

It's progress.

It is progress, but he's the worst.

I'll say that.

He's the worst.

He— but he admitted, hey, I went too far, I did something that I wasn't proud of, and I'm going to say it, I'm going to use my time to say it. So I think that is progress.

Yeah, it is progress, but he's the worst and he's still the worst. Let's play the sound of him saying, hey, I'm just fooling around with all my hate speech.

I sell fights. I mean, look at the UFC, how boring it is. Like, really, like, the UFC is so fucking boring. Like, I didn't even know half the— like It's better than Alex, and Alex doesn't even talk. He's just big and scary. Just boring, dude. At the end of the day, man, all the hate and all the hate's out of me. I need, I need the hate battery charged, so I need a couple days. Like, was it as crazy as everybody was saying? No, no, I, I think, dude, Chimaev, especially like being Chechen, they have a lot of pride. I say things that are, uh, some people might be offense— they might be offended, but I'm just joking.

So it's the line a little bit.

I, I think that sometimes he probably didn't get my humor, you know, from like that part of the world.

So he's a good guy, man, you know, but we're in game of fighting.

Would you guys really want me to go out there and be like, yeah, dude, you're a really nice guy, let's go have a nice little fight? No, you want me to go fuck this guy. Yeah, I do it for you guys.

So there was no true bad blood at all?

Like, you didn't truly hate him?

You're at the press conference, you guys are screaming back and forth at each other.

Maybe this is a little man in me. I don't like to be threatened. He has this underlying, like, threat to him, but, you know, other than that, like, that's a good dude.

Uh, when I say that Strickland has a sense of humor, I mean that he has a sense of what humor is supposed to be. He has a, a general sense of what it's supposed to be, doesn't know how to execute it. Uh, Juju, do you have some polls to update for us?

Yes, sir. Did you know that the Miami Heat were empirically the unluckiest team in the history of the NBA lottery? 58% of the audience said no, they did not. Damn, 13 is rough. Is there a 0% chance that Wimby is suspended for a single second of the next game? 79% of the audience says yes.

Amin expects it.

Me three. When you think of Vince Carter, what jersey is he wearing? A Raptors jersey, a Nets jersey, or Team USA jersey? 82% of the audience says a Raptors jersey. Have you ever consoled a naked man? 91% of the audience says no, they have not. Me neither. Pablo winning a Pulitzer. Are we about to hit apex mountain for inflated self-regard? 94% of the audience says yes. Are you bothered that the person driving 70 miles per hour is texting? 86% of the audience says yes. And last poll, are you subservient to your phone? 82% of the audience says yes, and those are your polls.

Thank you, Juju.

Thank y'all.
