This is the Dan Levatar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.

So, this is funny what just happened. And what I'm imagining happened nationally. I don't think we told anybody that we were staying live all 4 hours. So I imagine the people who usually leave at about 11 o'clock Eastern just left. And right now I'm on YouTube talking to nobody. I believe we didn't inform anybody that this week we are doing live the entire show. We are not doing anything that is taped, edited, and thrown into the feed. Is there any particular—

You actually just lost viewers.

There were 3,333 people here. You said that and 5 people left.

Oh, I'm just surprised that anyone's still there. Why would they be there? We're always done.

Did we tell anybody? Well, stands to reason if they were hanging around, they might be excited.

They've been waiting—

5 more people just left. Years for this day.

I did whisper in their ear right when we finished the last segment. I was like, hey guys, we're staying up.

We'll be right back.

Joe?

That's how I said it.

Sleepy Joe.

It was a little scream. Hey guys, we'll be right back.

Scream. Mike Ryan was up at 1:00 in the morning watching racing. I don't, I don't know if there's been anything more surprising around here in the last 5 years than Mike Ryan becoming obsessed with racing.

No one loves America more than me. Very few people love NASCAR more than me. By the way, happy birthday to my dear friend Antoni's.

Oh, what a rally man.

Oh buddy, we love you. See you, Rossi. Yeah, Dan, uh, the race last night in Nashville was incredible, and the reason why it was incredible was an all-time finish, and we'll get into that in a moment. Denny Hamlin, an all-time performance from the man. And we have to keep in mind, this was on Amazon Prime. All right, so the way that NASCAR does their production is it's kind of like the UFC, it's all done in-house. Very little things differentiate the broadcasters from one another, and they all take portions of the season. It doesn't alternate during like week to week. All right. So Fox gets its chunk and Prime gets its chunk. Dan, Prime is head and shoulders above the rest. This is— it doesn't treat you like an idiot. They go in depth. I am learning so much from this. They go to comms immediately. So if there's a wreck, you're right to Brad Keselowski saying, that guy tried to hit me. It was tremendous. It's really elevated. Prime does a tremendous job with their coverage. But cool thing about this race was it's actually— if it was on another broadcast partner, it might have been a tough watch because there were a million restarts.

You'd go to caution and then 1 lap or 2 laps in, there'd be another wreck. And you're like, man, is this race going to end today? Is this— it's going to be 2 a.m. and I'll be watching left turns. But the coverage was great. Anyways, we had a clean finish here and I want to show you this. Denny Hamlin won the pole. He was sitting up top, but he got up to a fast start when the race started. So that's a violation. He got sent to the back of the pack. Denny Hamlin goes from first to last to first, and this finish was an all-timer. You have 3 teammates going 3-wide in this very final lap, all for Joe Gibbs Racing. Check this out.

One lap to go, sponsored by Credit One Bank. Who's it gonna be? Hamlin, Bell, and Briscoe. They're all there, 3-wide to turn 1. This is incredible.

Bell shoots to the lead.

That's going to take the line away from the 19, but Denny's going to clear into the lead. Denny Hamlin chases inside after Bell squirted out front. Hamlin in charge. One last run for Bell on the outside lane. Can he get there? He cannot. Thinks about a crossover. It won't happen. Denny Hamlin, big time victory in Nashville.

How about it?

Oh, and there was a big wreck across the finish line. Tyler Reddick involved. Denny Hamlin wins one of the coolest trophies in sports. How happy were you? I was so pumped because that was an investment of my time that I put in there, and I was rooting for Denny. I, I've turned into a Denny Hamlin guy because of his story and his hard luck, and he's been struggling with restarts all season long. And to nail this restart, it's kind of poetic, especially against a guy who had the best car in Christopher Bell. Here's Denny Hamlin with the, uh, the Nashville Cracker Barrel 400 trophy, which is just an electric guitar. How badass is that? One of the great races, one of the great finishes, and it was just unbelievable for the race fans who stayed up, which I'm not sure who those people are because the, the, the audience, the target demo for NASCAR, it's an older audience. I'm not sure how many people are staying up till 12:30 AM Eastern time to watch their NASCAR, but I was one of the lucky few.

So those 3 cars that were, were in it till the very end, their teammates They're all teammates.

They all race for Joe Gibbs Racing.

So how do they decide who's going to win?

Well, that's best car wins. Shake and bake. Yeah, yeah, that's best car wins.

They don't get mad at each other?

No, no, no, they don't. Like, they all had good cars. In fact, Christopher Bell had probably had a better car.

I like that you win every time. I'm fine with second.

Well, the guy that is actually probably outside of Denny that's had the most consistent season who was not featured in that finish was Ty Gibbs, the grandson of Joe Gibbs, a legendary Washington football team slash commanders slash, you know, the ARS.

That wasn't their name when he was coaching.

Your John C. Reilly impersonation is better than your Joe Biden impersonation. Uh, put it on the poll at Lebatard Show. Do you like a guitar as a trophy? And also, speaking of the Cracker Barrel 400, how do you guys feel about the Cracker Barrel? I like—

oh, love Cracker Barrel.

Underrated breakfast.

I've come around. It's been a tumultuous year.

I don't really do the rocking chairs. People oversell those things.

Rocking chairs are nice.

The food is nice.

I'm not trying to hit up that store every time, you know, but yeah.

They make you walk through it though.

Just trying to kill our culture.

It's quite the trick. It's like Vegas casinos and hotels where they make you walk through. Look at all this stuff.

You know, they consider it a Filipino. By the way, happy June. I like— let's all get through this month together.

I like bringing my daughter there because it's a good— it's a good lesson for no. You're gonna get some no today. We're walking in this store and you get nothing.

You know what you get?

A breakfast, okay? It's not just like, "Oh, I get a toy now after breakfast." No, you're gonna walk through this store because you're gonna learn in life. I thought it was yes.

I think I understand that game that they have at the tables, but can you go ahead and explain it to me?

Oh no, I love that game. The T-game? Little triangle? You gotta hop over. The goal is to land with one left.

What is the name of that game? I've got a couple of questions for you guys because I—

Oriental checkers? We can say that, right?

It's a play on for me.

Another football team, the Leighton Orient, guys. The Kings.

It's a triangle and it is— what is it, 9 pegs, 12 pegs, something like that?

You have to—

the iconic Cracker Barrel tea game, parenthetically called triangle peg solitaire.

Arrgh!

What's with this show today?

Put it on the poll. Do you know what triangle peg solitaire is? Because there's no way that people know that that's what the name of that is. But the thing that I was thinking about I got this weekend is I couldn't think of what the name is for the little device that they put in a pizza box to make sure that the cheese in it's being sent to you doesn't touch the top of the box. Yes, I didn't— I, A, I didn't know what that was called, and B, I wanted to ask you guys if you thought that was a Hall of Fame invention. The, uh, because I don't know when that started, but that was not something that was around when I was in college. I would always get pizza that would have cheese on top of the box because I did not know, uh, how to do this table thing. Is that what it's called, Tony?

Did you—

table?

No, I just made that up.

It's called a Pizza Saver, Dan.

Tiny table.

Pizza Saver. So do you believe the Pizza Saver is a Hall of Fame invention? Do you believe that you would put it in the class—

it's pretty good—

of a Hall of Fame inventor?

More of a wheel and electricity and internet guy. Yeah, I wouldn't put it In the Hall of Fame, just fine.

I would go with the actual table, everybody, for the pizza table.

I would go with actual pizza.

Everybody likes pizza. Every— put it on the poll at Le Batard Show. Does everyone like pizza? And also put on the poll, is the pizza saver table? I don't think people are going to get the question if I don't name this right, man.

I'm telling you, behind air fryer.

To Dan's point, I had a Taco Bell Mexican pizza ruined by the box going down on it. The Taco Bell Mexican pizza needs the little table.

It depends what pizza you're ordering.

Hall of Very Good, perhaps.

Uh, Jeremy, can you please see if you can find out when that thing was invented and what it is actually called?

Because it's called Pizza Saver.

It's a tiny table.

But I don't, I don't feel like anyone— if I say to anybody, if I— look, you tell me if I'm wrong, Zazzlo. Because I can't believe that I would be wrong about this. If I were talking to any— or anything else for that matter— human being in the world and I just said, "The pizza saver, do you know what that is?" I don't think anyone's going to the table that keeps the cheese off the top of the box when it's being delivered.

What a superhero that would be though.

That is a great superhero. That is— that's what I would be as a superhero. In the tights bulging out of all the wrong places. I am the pizza saver!

Are you thinking about throwing away that crust? How dare thee!

Don't throw that away. I can help you with that. I will eat it. I'm Pizza Saver.

In 1974, Claudio Daniel Troglia of Buenos Aires, Argentina was issued a patent for a plastic three-legged stool that would sit in the middle of a pizza box and keep the top from sagging into pizza, which he called Seppi, after separador de pizza.

I really thought that you were going to tell me his name was Joey Pizza Saver.

In 1985, Carmela Vitale of Dix Hills, New York was issued a patent for a similar device. She called it a package saver, but it's since been renamed to Pizza Saver.

So this was invented in '75? '74. Well, but you feel like you've been getting these things all your life? Because I feel like the Pizza Saver is something that I've only discovered in the last 10 years. That's not something that always came with my pizza. It's not— I don't remember in college getting any pizza that had that on it. My college pizza always had the cheese on the top of the box because nobody had invented— nobody in Argentina had invented this thing yet.

They hadn't sent it over to Coconut Grove. The issue is that big store chains usually don't throw it in there. Mom-and-pop places usually put it in there to save because they, they care more about quality.

See, I disagree because the mom-and-pop place, they're usually like the New York style, like the really good, like the thinner crust pizzas, and you don't need that when you're delivering in the box. When you, you get like Pizza Hut or Papa John's or Domino's, those are thicker and there's a better chance of the cheese getting stuck to the top. And you do get—

but I've never seen them on there. You know, I order from those places, I don't see it.

I ordered yesterday from one of those Papa John's and there was a pizza saver.

Yeah, they have the pizza saver. Did they use that little garlic cup as their pizza saver?

That's cheating, but also saving a little bit of money.

How does that stay in place?

You think there's a garlic cup that just sits in the middle of the pizza?

I'm just thinking anywhere, you know, I'm just trying to spitball in here.

All right, well You really bailed on me, buddy.

A little two-bird situation. Kill two birds. I want this garlic sauce in here and look, it can put in the middle.

It's a good point, actually, because some pizzerias, according to the origins here on Wikipedia, some pizzerias have eliminated the use of this plastic pizza saver by returning to the old method of simply baking a bread ball into the center of their pizzas to hold it up.

Wow.

Yeah, it sounds like Pizza Saver ran into capitalism's Cost Saver. Summer always hits different once the big games start stacking up. Now you've got finals games on every other night. Baseball's rolling all week, racing on the weekends, and suddenly everybody's looking for an excuse to get together. The other night, a buddy texted me, "We've got the game on, come through." I figured I'd stop by for maybe an hour. That was optimistic. Next thing you know, everybody's locked into the game and we're all part of the coaching staff. Somebody's yelling at the ref, somebody else is suddenly an expert on pitch strategy, and nobody's even pretending they're leaving early anymore. It's one of those nights where you take a sip of Miller Lite, look around, and realize, yeah, This is exactly what summer is supposed to be. That's why Miller Lite is always part of these nights for me. It's clean, refreshing, easy to drink when it's hot outside, and perfect for long nights hanging with friends watching games. An all-American summer starts with an all-American beer— Miller Lite.

Don Lebatard. I've never stepped foot on that campus. I, if you told me right now your life depends on it, go to Santa Fe University and just, just, just take a picture.

Stugatz.

I would die. I don't know where it is. This is the Don Lebatard Show with Stugatz.

I want to go back to what Chris was alleging.

You think that there is a cup of the garlic sauce or the tomato sauce?

You know about that garlic sauce?

Of course I do, but that's not what we're talking about right here. And you think that they put that on top of the cheese?

I'm just, you know, thinking out loud.

I think that you really fell apart on interrogation because you've gone now to— I was just spitballing and I was just thinking out loud. You have no conviction in your point. You're— it's falling apart under the merciless cross-examination of Zaslav, who thinks you're a fool. You feel it and you're like Chet Holmgren last night or Saturday. Where you're like just scared in the face of a real pizza expert. Not so sure. You look like a pizza expert, just like Chet Holmgren looks like an NBA basketball player, but in the face of the Wemby of pizza, you are folding under cross-examination.

So if I ask for multiple, you know, boxes of the garlic sauce, they're just— they're plopped on top of my cheese pizza. That's what you're saying.

I was thinking if they're on the outskirts of the pizza, they could still do some work to support the box, is all I was thinking.

But you don't believe in your point. You're just— your body language has gone to hell. Like, you don't feel confident more. Once you've gone, I'm just spitballing, I'm just spitballing here, and then you fall out of the screen, because that's the other thing you did. You're in front of the camera. Yeah, you were as if hiding from what remains of our audience that we didn't tell we'd be online.

I'm not above being wrong. If I was wrong about it, then I want to know it.

Do you think if I order garlic knots, do they then just throw the garlic knots on top of the pizza to prevent the lid from smashing down the cheese?

They do not. OK. Garlic knots.

Yeah.

All right.

What happened to Jesus Sanchez? Was this in Toronto that this happened to him where he's hit by a baseball thrown by a fan? And let's see this video here. It was not in Toronto.

Yeah, this is in Baltimore, I believe. And this, this is an incident, an incident where you start off very angry. You're like, who, who, who would throw something at a player? He's in right field and a ball all of a sudden gets thrown He gets hit in the hand and he has to leave the game. So you're thinking when you see this story, what the heck is happening in Baltimore? And then you learn afterwards from the manager that he was having a nice exchange with a 12-year-old kid. And then the kid miscommunicated. There was a miscommunication. And the kid, when he looked away, threw a ball. So they weren't mad at the kid. It was just a miscommunication. Apparently, the kid did get thrown out because you can't be throwing balls regardless of whether you're having a back and forth. So it's just a kind of interesting story that you never see. Baseball gives you these things. Other sports, I feel like we've seen it all. Baseball, you get shit you never see.

This would have never happened to that woman who was ticketed by the West Palm Beach police officer.

It's got to be a lefty. Yeah.

Yeah.

Don't forget about Jim Abbott.

It's also a pretty amazing throw by that kid, huh? Tremendous accuracy from a 12-year-old.

Henry Rowengartner situation.

Yeah.

Get me that out!

Call that kid up. Also annoying how good Jesús Sánchez is now that he's not a Marlins.

Nah, you're overreacting.

If you're the dad of the 12-year-old kid, you're seeing it happen right in front of you. Your kid, he thinks that Jesus Sanchez wants to play catch. The kid throws it, it hits him. You immediately see that Jesus Sanchez is uncomfortable. He might be hurt. If you're the dad, like, you got to turn to your kid like, 'Get the hell out of here. Run.' Right?

Right. You've injured Toronto's outfielder. You've hit him in the hand. Run. He's writhing in the outfield. And yeah, I think, I think in that instance you do have to run before security comes and gets you. But I do believe there should be some dispensation. There should be some kindness about the fact that Jesus Sanchez was trying to play catch with the kid. You don't, you don't throw a kid out when Sanchez baited him.

Hey kid, we were playing catch. It starts. It's time to start the game now. I'm kind of with the team here. This kid needs to be punished.

He was punished for just tossing a ball to an outfielder who, well, couldn't have asked him to toss the ball because he wasn't in any way expecting the ball regardless. When you think of Marlins outfielders, that's not what I do. I say, wow, that 5 years with Stanton, Yelich, and Ozuna would have been pretty good. Those— that 5-year period where all of them were doing special things, that would have been a good outfield to have down here for a while.

If the MLB approves their new salary cap thing, the Marlins will just have to add $92 million to their payroll to meet the floor. That'll be fun.

Saw Abner got suspended for his revolting display.

How long did he get suspended for 3 pumps against the dugout of the St. Louis Cardinals?

A game.

A game. We were talking— for those of you who do not know what we were talking about, Abner Uribe, a reliever for the Milwaukee Brewers, struck somebody out and then did 3 pumps to the dugout. Would he have gotten suspended if it had only been 1 pump? Is it a key and peel situation of 1 pump, 2 pump, 3 pumps? If it had just been a single pump that he had just done the X, the suck it X one time. Do you believe that comes across Manfred's desk and he's like, you know what, I'm okay with one pump, two pump is a bridge too far.

But he did the suck it X on the third.

As silly as it sounds, I think one suck it crotch chop is not getting a suspension.

One leads to an angry dugout, two leads to a fine, three leads to a suspension. That's my view.

I mean, I know it's the Key Peele skit, but I think there's something to it. I don't think one crotch chop is getting you suspended.

He only had one X though, right?

No, he had 3 X.

I thought he did 3 X. By my math, I thought he did one and then two. By my math, the first one was not an X. The final two were, if I remember it correctly.

Well, we're going to count X's now here. Suck it X's right now. Here he goes.

Break it down.

So good. Here we go.

Oh, an X. Now he X's.

Oh my God.

The other one, if you see, breaks his hands.

The camera cut away because of how lewd and disgusting that act was.

First one was not an X. That's all I know.

And then this, this, and then this. I mean, that is 3 suck it.

Suck it. Well, but that's 3 suck it. Like, that's—

so what's the first one?

No, yes, 3.

I think he takes his arms apart the last one, so it was only 1 X.

I think we only get 1 X. I'm with Tony here.

Jeremy, would you do me the favor please of looking up the word languid? Because the way he's doing this— put this in the picture-in-picture, uh, this isn't just suck it, it's suck it sensually. Like, it's, it's, it's grooving. I'm looking for a word. I don't think it's languid. But there's a word I'm looking for because the casual— the nature of this is, I'm bored having sex with you. I'm bored by it.

Drooping or flagging from or as if from exhaustion. Find a better word, I think.

It's— okay, help me. I'd like some help.

Sure, you got it.

In Spanish it's toma!

Help me! Well, yes, in Spanish, but that's— you're saying it in a way that's aggressive, and toma literally translated is "drink it," but I'm looking for something more casual. I'm looking for something like— he seems a bit bored by how easy it is to both strike you out and do 3 pumps at your dugout. He's so good that it bores him to do this to you. It's not— he's— there's not a lot of effort being poured into what it is that he's doing.

I'm embarrassed for the Cardinals that they allowed him to do 3 suck-it crotch chops and did nothing about it.

I'm remiss in not mentioning that just recently, or a couple of minutes ago, Serena Williams came out of coming out of retirement.

Oh, doubles.

Should have probably mentioned it's still coming out of retirement.

Yeah, it's doubles. It's also still doubles.

Is that as big as Brock Lesnar returning this past week?

I felt like a fool. They fooled me. They tricked me.

Don't do the shoes in the ring thing if you're going to come back.

They tricked me.

You guys, you guys said how important—

Yeah, they tricked me. You guys, you and Zaslo.

Hey, I'm not proud of it.

I'm 40.

You—

they, they tricked us.

You and Zaslo.

Those liars.

You guys came on here and said after WrestleMania that you were moved by the fact that Brock Lesnar lost and then sat— not sat, knelt in the middle of the ring and placed his shoes on the middle of the mat.

He was emotional. He said goodbye.

You guys said that that was him retiring. Great career, way to go Brock. And 7 minutes later he's back. Before he gets to the locker room, he's decided, yeah, that was all for show, that none of that was real.

They tricked us.

I'm 45 years old. Wrestling tricked me.

I Trick us like that.

I am curious though, was this a legit thing that they pivoted on, or do you think this was part of the plan the entire time?

Great question. My 14-year-old son asked me a couple days ago, because Brock— well, yesterday, because Brock Lesnar fought yesterday. He won, by the way. Oh, he took down Obafemi. Anyway, my son asked me yesterday, do you think this was always the plan, or did they just offer Brock a lot of money? Because Brock loves— Brock and wives, same love. All right, did Brock come back back for the money.

Languorous, suggesting a dreamy boredom and delicacy that avoids unnecessary activity.

That's a good word. That's a better word than languid.

I heard it for languorous.

It's not better than toma.

No, thank you. Lackadaisical.

They tricked us. And he looked great.

Fooled me.

He looks so great.

Even—

yeah, I like Brock. Is Serena Williams coming, uh, out of retirement to play doubles with her sister, or plays doubles with— is it like, is it an emotional thing? Is it a symbolic thing? Because obviously if it's doubles, nobody's going to care. If she was doing singles, it would be different, but she's not going to get much of her competitive— whatever she misses competitively from being the best in the world, I don't know that she's going to get much of it from doubles. I wonder if there's an explanation since this just happened that we can go to that would help us understand why she's doing this. Something I always find interesting, uh, says— and given that you guys just said we're in our 40s, most athletes end up losing their identity, the whole thing that they are, by the time that they're 40. And there is no replacing it. It's not just the structure and the discipline of how it is you lived your life, because I, I did marvel at the fact that Serena played as long as she did because that sport is lonely, it's exhausting. It's kind of boring when you're not playing that you have to practice that much on the sculpting of sort of some singular things.

And so I figured that anyone who left tennis would want basically nothing to do with tennis, but you never replace the competitive thing that made you great. There's no place to put it as you age. And so in some places, I think it's harder for athletes to hit what is the midlife crisis, because it's technically the end-of-life crisis on what their identity has been. Uh, you can't pour that much of yourself into something and have it not be a lopsided form of who it is you are. And so we're still working in our 40s. All of us are still doing the thing that we like. But when you're an athlete, you're lucky if you even get to 40, obviously. So I would imagine that Serena Williams has a hard time, uh, replacing what it was to be Serena Williams.

She's going to be playing with Victoria Mboko, who's a real up-and-coming tennis sensation. I think the thinking here is, from a lot in the tennis community, is, is this the start of something? Does she go back to doubles, realizes that her body feels good? Because it might be a soft launch. She's gone through the drug testing process for 6 months. How does the body feel doing this? How do you feel when the ball comes your way in doubles? Because it's far less physically demanding. But if she feels good out there, can she perhaps do the one thing that would somehow add to the legacy of the greatest tennis player ever?

Dan Lebatard!

Jean Zaslav! How you love that catchphrase! Bad news for opposing teams in the Triple-A!

Stoogatz.

He's all smiles till the blood's a-clutch again, clutch again, clutch again.

This is the Dan Levatar Show with the Stoogatz.

She's a lot smaller than she was back when she was playing full-time.

Well, she She's also doing advertising, and I wanted to ask you guys about this because it's not a conversation that I see happening anywhere, and I think it's probably something that should be happening somewhere. Uh, she's doing commercials, okay, for weight loss injections, which are very vogue right now. And I wonder when sports is going to catch up to some of that stuff and peptides as performance enhancers. Like, I, I think that this stuff has flourished so quickly and, uh, has so many unknowns on it that I think sports might have to do something about peptides and some other things that are science, that are science outpacing what has been historically, um, you know, banned substances.

According to this very moment, the World Anti-Doping Agency has monitored GLP-1s. They are not prohibited at this very time.

No, I know they're not now, but what I'm saying is they weren't around when all of these rules were being made, and Science, I think, has— look, I didn't think any of us would live at a time that you could actually cheat your way to appetite suppression. Like, I wasn't aware that that was so, but I also don't know what other things these, uh, these things do. And the reason that I mention it is because, um, literally a week ago my doctor suggested peptides to me. Literally one week ago. Yeah, no, and Peptide, so I tried it and I feel totally different in a week. Like in one week I have done one injection. Yeah, I feel a lot better. I feel—

Are you doing the injections? BPC-157? That's a way to get them to work.

Wolverine stack?

I mean, it's just, I don't even know what peptides are, but it is evidently something that's beyond whatever Ozempic or Mounjerno is doing.

Well, those are GLP-1s. Those are a different story and different class of things.

That's right. Drink it in. I'm feeling amazing.

I feel 20 years younger. Tómalo. Uh, no, but it's a, it's an appreciable difference though. It, it just feels like, uh, you know about that NAD+. I do.

NAD+ is good stuff. Methylene Blue?

No.

Get on that. Methylene Red?

You should take them all.

Have you been watching the Enhanced Games?

That's what McAfee says. McAfee says I've got so much stuff coursing through me, like, at all times.

Yeah, looks like it. He's alluding to a lot there. The Enhanced Games, I gave it a try. I was blown away by how good the production was. This could not have been a good spend for whoever was behind it. There's no way they are recouping this.

Well, you mentioned earlier the Cracker Barrel 400 and what a good job that Prime did on it. Are you guys I know I've mentioned this a couple of times to you, but I, I'm genuinely curious. The fact that Amazon Prime has gotten into the broadcasting game, and earlier today you guys saw that we've been doing this a while, we couldn't get a means connection right. The fact that Prime is doing these things this well and making it look so easy that no one's noticing that the new people that have come to this coverage are learning how to do it because you're not seeing any of the mistakes. Okay, no, this is just it.

No, this is—

I want to save this for my dad.

Yeah, we want to— we wanted to see if we could trick your dad.

This is—

guys, this is a real clip from the Enhanced Games. This is competitive swimmer in the— this guy's name is Jacked Up.

Well, that's a new record.

Do you think we could have, uh, Tricked Craig Cody.

For the audio audience.

Yes, for the audio audience, there's a guy who's 300 pounds and 4% body fat. He's on a dive board, jacked up, about to jump into the pool, and instead, when he jumps, he goes right over the pool and into a nearby wall.

Freaks through.

You guys aren't surprised that there aren't any glitches with the amount of money that is being thrown at these giant broadcasts? Because it's not that easy to do these things without technical difficulties. It really, it really isn't.

And the technical difficulties came with a rocket launch for Jeff Bezos, but TV, that seems to be going a little bit smoother. And that's where the money really, really, really, really helps.

The money of Amazon obviously is a lunacy. I actually, I don't think many people understand, but I don't understand how Prime has cornered basically commerce. And so when you've cornered all of commerce, when you're someone who could knock out you have to go somewhere to shop for things because of how much we've gotten addicted to convenience. The amount of money in inventing the speedy commerce makes it so that Bezos can buy Whole Foods easily and can get into the broadcasting game and can have just an assortment of content in a library that has, you know, what seems like billions— it has to be billions of dollars being spent on what it is that they're doing. And in sports, they're doing it without a glitch. I thought there had to be a hiccup, Like, I, I don't think that Americans are so spoiled with the amount of money that we have that we shouldn't be at least noticing that they have changed the way that everyone broadcasts to us without a hiccup.

I am stunned at how well their NASCAR coverage goes because NASCAR is a very difficult production. There's a million things going on. You have access to countless comms. You have to have people across cross everything. And the fan base in NASCAR would be pretty apprehensive about a tech giant coming over to NASCAR. And it is crazy how much better they are than everybody else.

We're in for a really fun time in sports because what you want is the best, uh, who have money competing against each other to grab the customers, uh, and do better than everyone else is doing at the spending of money and the return on that investment. But the, the idea, Zaslow, that you can just, uh, click on your app now and get coverage that's better than any coverage that you're used to getting from a retailer— from— I— if, if I tell the audience here, before the recent Colbert stuff, if I had asked you guys, how many people does a late night employ? Would you guys have guessed 150? Would you guys have thought that a late-night television show requires 150 people? No. I think most people would think it's less than that and that some of this stuff is easier because of how easy it's made to look. These broadcasts require hundreds of people to mobilize wherever it is that they're broadcasting from at 12:30 in the morning. The, the Nashville at the Cracker Barrel 400, and no one can make a mistake that interferes with the broadcast. Like, we have not gotten one glitch that's embarrassing from Peacock, from Netflix, from Prime.

We haven't gotten one thing where people are saying, ah, that's garbage, that— oh, I see how they're learning there. Um, I, I just don't know how it is that you make it this seamless, and I can't imagine the money and people involved involved in making it that seamless because, um, broadcasting's never been better because all of these entities are competing and they all have money and they all want sports. Uh, we are living in a golden age and they're only going to keep getting better because this is the learning stage. Like, they're just figuring out how to do all of this stuff and I don't know how they're doing it. I would think that somewhere somebody would have an embarrassment. I would think that Jake Paul is doing a Netflix thing and something goes wrong and everyone can laugh at Jake Paul, but it never happened.

Well, no, that was actually seemingly the only time it's happened was when he fought Mike Tyson. That was a disaster on Netflix, you know, streaming-wise, and that was apparently the only time it's been a problem. Every time since you have any of these sporting events that are streaming— all right, you had the Jake Paul thing and nope, we've all learned since then it's all perfect.

You put the standard in such a high place that when it now happens, you can run around and look at Jake Paul and make fun of him for it because it just never happens. And I just— we've been sitting here talking about human error and mistakes. The officials can't make mistakes. The game can't be officiated. We're gonna have robots in the future officiating NBA games. And yet here you are with everything you're consuming. We couldn't get through today's show without a means line dropping 3 times. We decided to go live bravely for 4 hours today. It's actually 3 hours, but our 4 hours that are each 40 minutes long. Put it on the poll at Levittard Show. Should 40 minutes ever be referred to as an hour?

When I had to explain that to my wife when I first started coming in here like a year ago, she didn't understand what the hell I was saying. She's like, wait, 37 minutes?

That's not an hour. Did your wife watch any of Greg Cody last week?

Yeah, yeah, she's confused by him still. Yeah, like, I didn't get over it after a couple weeks. Took me a dozen years.

But even Cuckception, she didn't get it?

What about Cuckception when he was saying like, she's gonna love this, like later on? Did she love it?

Okay, I don't know if she saw that part.

All right, like, oh, you kept it.

So you withheld?

Sometimes I do.

Sometimes I withhold if things are said on the show that I don't necessarily want her to experience. I will not show that.

You withheld Cuckception.

Does she know that everyone knows you're cuck?

Uh, ah, to what extent? I mean, she obviously knows the Billy Crystal story, but does she know that like every day people are say— look, the new thing today is there, there, there's a new cuck chair in a hotel that's circulating on social media, and then everybody's like, oh, Zez, did you see this? Yes, I've seen it. Last week it was the cuck-quarium, and now it's a new one. There's a new cuck chair in a hotel.

She liked that, your wife.

All right, well, so I did not show her that part. She doesn't need to see everything.

You saw the cuck shower, yeah?

Yeah, that's the cuck-quarium.

I'm gonna choke up. Have you guys seen Billy Corbin's movie on Hulu? It's the most popular movie, documentary in the history of Hulu. It's about the Falwell family and the fact that Liberty's president Falwell's son was famously a cuck with a Miami pool boy. Boy. It's great. It really is. You guys haven't seen what I'm talking about? Is it called God Forbid? Is that what it's called? You guys, you haven't seen what— you haven't seen it? It's worth a—

This is Jerry Falwell we're talking about?

It's Jerry Falwell's son. Junior. Yeah, it's Junior.

You should really watch it. It seems like Dan really wants you to watch it. Are you comfortable watching?

I mean, we'll see. I'm living my life.

Just pull up a chair.

You will see. Because you are comfortable watching.

I got things to do.

We'll see. You don't do them in the chair, others do them and you watch.

No!

Everybody knows about me. I don't do that at all. Never.

I don't think they do know that or they wouldn't be saying your shower is the cuck-quarium.

One dream I had. One dream. Someone sent me a picture of the cuck-quarium and they superimposed Billy Crystal in the shower. Swear to God.

Did it turn you on a little?

Well, he wouldn't be in the shower, right? He'd be outside. You'd be the one in the shower.

Just standing there like being all funny.
