Pablo.

I'm already not feeling confident about the amount of chaos we have today with a bunch of DraftKings people in town, with a bunch of winners of contests in town, with Zazlo in a race car outfit, having all sorts of trouble with his headphones because he can't get his headphones in and around the race car helmet that he's wearing. We've got Yammering Dave Damoschek in town as part of our watch party proceedings. Juju's in town. Amin is cross-eyed and wearing FBI gear. Jeremy hasn't stopped writing Trey Ya Savage stats on a board since 11: 00 PM last night. And now Pablo is reporting something, and the Clippers have just stopped answering his calls. The Clippers will now not respond to Pablo as he's ensnared Tyron Lou in the middle of all this stuff, a name we had not seen.

Ensnared is strong. Ensnared is strong, Dan.

Okay, so what's the verb you would use?

I would use adjacent. Like, Oh, there's Tyron Lou. He's adjacent to what's going on, but he's not in Snared. I don't think that Snared is right.

That's not a verb. I need a verb for what it is that Pablo has done to Tyron Lou.

You're looking for snitch, Dan. Snitch. We agree this sound is worthy of this, though.

I don't think so. I'm not sure because this is only for breaking news that no one else has that's going to make headlines all over the sports globe. And this one is too entangled to have reverberations that are going to be covered or aggregated, right? Shouldn't this sound... I mean, you were a part of this episode for Pablo. Pablo will be on with us later. Shouldn't this sound be reserved exclusively for something that's going to create spinning newspaper headlines?

Pablo's news-breaking has torpedoed the sports world.

You're going to stay in character as Cash Patel off-show?

It's going to be a long one if he does that.

Dan Levatard, your days of gross tonnage have come to an end.

No, they have not. I'm going to eat so many nachos at Flanigan's tonight. Zazla, were you trying to say something into your helmet?

Did that not come? Are you not hearing me?

Who are you trying to talk to?

I'm trying to communicate with my pit crew.

And you can bet on it.

Damosheck, Welcome. It is nice to see you in studio for the first time. Football Americas, our hit football show at Metalark Media. And if you want more Stealers' information that you can possibly handle, you should come to the watch party tonight and get cornered by Dave Demichet.

Yeah, we're going to talk about number 87 and how black and gold doesn't just belong to Cydney Crosby. We'll get into Ouija Thompson, the great 6'7 University of Florida wide receiver who shined with Bubby Brister and the rest of them back there, like I say, in the mid to late '80s.

If you talk to Dave Dameschek tonight, you better steal your sofa a boring conversation.

Say, Vauhalla.

Vauhalla.

Basketball. Basketball.

Basketball.

Basketball.

Basketball is back, Jack. Time for our favorite winter sport. The summertime is over, so let's head down to the court. Time for the tip-off. Give me fast breaks on the attack. Will you shoot a three or take it to the rack? Basketball is back, Jack. It's a dream shake down in the post or a killer cross you love the most. When the offense to run and gun, is it man to man or box and one? It's big plays and talking smack, that's how you know that basketball is back, Jack. Let me hear you say, Basketball, basketball, basketball. Basketball is back, Jack. 360 Dunks and picking roles. Then we're going to watch it in Every day till they raise the Larry O. Hard fouls and hook shots, a Dagger 3 and hacker shacks. If you say this game's the best, I'll say it's a Gack. Basketball is back, Jack. Basketball is back, Jack. Basketball is back.

Basketball is back, Jack. The basketball open, huh? On Thursday Night Football with the Dolphins and Lamar Jackson. You guys are going basketball open, and Zaz has declared today, and this is very early in the season, a heat buy-in game. I have no idea what that means. I don't think I've ever heard five games into a season That's 82 games.

Very important night tonight for the Miami Heat. This is what we call a buy-in game, Dan, because if the heat win this one and they wind up giving the Spurs, you know about Wemba Nyama? If they wind up giving the Spurs their first loss of the season, That's a buy-in game. Then you could take them serious. That's a buy-in game.

You've mentioned that a couple of times now, though. I'm not totally sure what it means. That means if they beat Wemba Nyama today on the road, you're going to make them Championship contender worthy.

Now I'm buying I'm buying in. I'm buying in.

But you're a homer. You always buy in on the heat. No, that's not true.

I went into this season very skeptical. I told you as recently as yesterday, I'm very confused about what I'm watching with the heat. But tonight, if you tag the Spurs with their first loss, if you take that ass against Wembenyama, then I'm buying in.

Narrow ass.

It is a narrow ass.

Narrow ass. Dan, have you seen that ass?

It's one of the narrowest asses to ever dominate basketball, I would say. Wembenyama, I mean, your thoughts here, heat against Spurs tonight. You believe this is a game worthy of buy-in status as declared by Zadz?

If the Miami Heat defeat the Victor Wembenyama, San Antonio Spurs, I'll turn the heat up on their Championship aspirations.

I don't think I can do this with you all show. You can bet on it. I'm already tired of this character, and we are two minutes into the show. I can't handle you being Cash Patel all show and speaking that slowly on a show that pinballs like this.

His eyes look like Cash Patel. He's like the eyes.

There we go.

That's it right there. La Costa Nuestra.

If we're doing Thin Asses, I nominate Manute Bol.

I mean, it's a fine nomination, but it's not a dominant basketball player. We're talking... I already...

Equally famous.

I already hear people talking. If non-injury division, that this is going to be an all-time immortal player top five that we've ever seen, and it would be number one, all-time narrow ass excellence.

When it comes to narrow asses, Wembenyama is the victor. Wow. You can bet on that.

That's good. Tashon Prince.

Again- Good narrow ass, though.

Excellent. Yes. We're basically- I'm just looking for other ones, Dan.

I can't beat Wembenyama.

I got it.

Slim reaper. I mean, 6'10, Kevin Durant.

What are we doing? Oh, that's a good one, actually. Good job, Dave.

If Tashon is the Prince of Narrow Asses, then Kevin Durant is the King. You can bet on that.

Reggie Miller?

Yes, we're just doing thin layers. Thank you.

You got them, Dano. All right, let's find a fat guy with a narrow ass.

I'm on it. Hoya's icon, Reggie Williams. There you go.

No, you don't go. I'm sorry to do this to you so early in the proceedings, Dave, but let me see if I can find it.

Minor penalty, two minutes. Dumpster juice takes.

Hold on, we got somebody for this, Dano.

Hold on.

Wait a minute.

Like Ty Ron Lou, I've been ensnared.

Wow.

I've been told by sources after Tony got his verb and his verbiage wrong in the Shadow Show that on mystery Crate, you were outed as someone who doesn't know what a verb is.

That was false, first off. I don't even remember that episode, to be honest, Dan. I remember that, though. Whoever was saying that didn't understand what I was trying to say, and they didn't get it. Again, I don't remember. It was so insignificant to me. I was just so onto the next thing. I don't even remember who said it or why they said it, but they were wrong. It's okay.

Have any of you checked out the Pablo Tori Finds Out episode? Because it, again, contacts the Clippers, and the Clippers do not respond this time. This information about Tyron Lou, Tony's got it right when he says he's just adjacent to the poker part of this story. But the poker part of the story and the game fixing part of this story are more enmeshed than people think because of a character that Pablo spends the whole show basically telling the story through, which is central casting for a alleged dirty gambler, shady snitch informant, ringleader, Sugar Shane, not Moseley. His name is... Let me see. Henin. Thank you. Sugar Shane Hennan is the name, and Amin is in the middle of this episode, and I'm hoping I could get him to break character in order to tell us more about what Pablo Tori is reporting. Thank you for taking off your FBI hat.

Let me see his hats. Hold on.

Yeah, okay.

There you go. All right. Hey, guys, it means here. There we go. What did I miss?

You're updating the Pablo Tori Finds Out episode and what verb you would use to associate Tyron Lou to this story because his name was thrown into the mix 20 minutes in. Kevin Garnett was, too, even less adjacent than Tyron Lou, just in the vicinity, near the whiff, but not near any of the bad sewage stuff.

I think part of what turns up the heat is because of Pablo's other ongoing investigation into the Clippers. If Tyron Lou worked for the Milwaukee Bucks or for the San Antonio Spurs, and his name came up here, I think it would be... You'd have the same feeling that you did about Kevin Garnett and Paul pierce and all those other guys who have played in some of these card games. But I think it's because he's with the Clippers and we know how much work we've done about the Clippers in the last couple of months, it feels like the heat has ratcheted up a number of notches.

Kevin Garnett, thin ass.

That's a good one from you.

He's also skinny. How's that one good? And the other ones weren't. They're all skinny.

I'm naming all skinny guys. You know when you know. You know when you know when KG is a good thin ass.

I'm going to find a fat guy with a thin ass. Thin asses onto the compo.

He's back.

I don't have much of an ass. That is true. I'm fairly assless. Me too.

I'm a big guy. My wife always says no ass.

I've always...

She says it's a cute... No, she does say cute little butt.

She always says it.

What about you, Zaz? She says cute little butt, which means... That's what it means.

I get sixth-grade ass, but when you say your wife always says no ass, that has a double meaning that takes me to a story that Zaz had last night. Because, Jeremy, I should talk about the World Series. I should talk about the fact that Trey Usavage did something that only he has done before. According to Optistats, there have been two games in Major League postseason history where a pitcher has struck out 10 plus batters, struck out five consecutive batters, struck out 50 % of the batters he's faced, allowed fewer than five base runners, and earned the win. Both times, it was Trey Yusavage, who was doing things that only Sandy Kofax has done in a World Series. And the first four Dodger hitters, that's a top three offense the Dodgers have. Top three in all of baseball. The first four Dodger hitters last night, that's O'Tani, Muki Betts, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith. They went to combine one for 15 with eight strikeouts. Eight strikeouts. And Jeremy has spent the entire evening- He has only made $57,204 this season.

There are only two pitchers ever with 10 plus- Keep fading him in and out.

He's been doing that since last night, just nonstop talking about what Trey Usavage did. So we should be talking about that baseball game.

Dan, Jeremy Tasche's pitch clock has run out, and you can bet on it.

Well, no pitch clock is-16 strikeouts in that regular season.

There are only four pitchers ever with 11 strikeouts in a World Series game in the last minute.

Pitch Pitch clock is later in the show. It hasn't run out. You got to work on the impersonation, having some range. He's got to make at least some sense if he's going to be stiff and cross-side. Pitch clock is later in the show. It hasn't run out. It's going to be later in today's show. Why would you say that it's run out?

I guess I need to- Three single dodger, and there are only three pitchers ever who have struck out every single player in a starting lineup.

Randy Johnson- The listeners know what I mean, Dan, and you can bet on that.

Zazlo last night couldn't be a part of the live stream. And what is it that you texted Jeremy when he asked you to be a part of his live stream last night?

Yeah, Jeremy, it was very aggressive. No communication. He texted me a link. Just the link shows up and it says, You can join with an exclamation point. There was no work up to that.

It was just like, here- But you said to him, I'm trying to get laid.

Yeah, well, then I wrote back to him. I go, I'm trying to get laid over here, player.

That's a good out. That's a good excuse.

Did you? No. Should have joined. I mean, the emphasis on trying, and it didn't work. I got to work on My game was lacking last night.

It was a Wednesday. It's not a sex night.

You see, my wife was in Argentina for the last 10 days. I'm leaving for the weekend for Jacksonville tomorrow. So I understand it's Wednesday. Get in when you can get it in, Dan.

Ironically, Hump day, not a sex day.

Didn't work last night.

So your wife also saying no actually.

I'm with her, though. Wednesdays, who needs that? I think every night is a sex night, Dan, in my book.

At Lebitard's show, is Wednesday night a sex night.

Not in the Zazlo mansion.

Is Zaz like Ray Romano in Everybody Loves Raymond? I've always struck by that show that he has to beg his own wife to bed down with him as though it's It's a gift for somebody.

I don't like that phrase. There's a lot of things that Dave says and phrases that I don't like.

I just want to be honest with him. But I don't think that's a phrase, Bed down with him. You either get down with him or you go to bed with him. I don't think you bed down with him.

Trying to bed down tonight, Dan.

You can bet on that.

Put it on the poll at Lebitard Show. Does anybody use the phrase to bed down to refer to having sex? Because it's not something that I've heard at all.

Sipowitz in his old cop show. Nypd Blue. Nypd Blue. He once said, Did you have sex on that boy? I always remember that one. Have sex on.

It's a good one.

Sipowitz, slim ass for a fat guy.

It's a great reference.

Remember, that was a huge deal. Nypd Blue was the first time ever on network television that there was going to be nudity. So everyone was tuning in. And what was the nudity we got in that episode? We got Sipowit's ass in the shower. That was it. That's called a tease, Dan.

Abc's television lineup was blue that night.

Put it on the poll, please, @leptis. Com. Habitat show because Tony has no idea what we're talking about here. But, Tony, when I tell you that network television created a ruckus throughout America, where people were calling their local network saying, That's inappropriate. The First Ass, Human Ass, shown on network television. Some fat guy? Yes, Dennis Sippowitz. In the shower.

No, Andy. Andy Sippowitz.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Dennis Franz was the actor.

Thank you. That's an excellent correction. We have found an incredible Zaz- That was my show. An incredible Zaz wheelhouse. But yes, it was a huge American scandal that on network television, the first ass shown was of a frumpy fat guy.

Really? Everybody got upset about that?

There was a repressed America reacted with great outrage that that was the ass shown for the first time on network television.

I think part of the problem is that Tony doesn't know what Andy Sipowitz looks like.

If you saw him, it would...

Home or home. Let me take a look. Yeah.

Well, look at Dennis Franz.

And John Candelaria and himself in the ALDS. So he's the third youngest pitcher, but that's only because he's also the second youngest pitcher to be able to do it. He has this release point that up here- None of you want to talk about the World Series, right?

I'm looking at a room full of people here, crowded, who have sports opinions, and I don't believe that any of you want to talk baseball.

I do, and I understand that the Jays are a story and a great one, Vlad Guerrero on down. But to me, the big takeaway here is the Dodgers are one loss away from being the Atlanta Braves, but worse. Oh, there he is. Sipowitz. That looks like Stavi in 20 years.

It does.

Holy God.

Great That is a great call by Tony.

You just told me Stavi.

You saw Stavi's ass. I was like, Oh, okay. Bump the Raiders, yo. Or the Ravens.

Flocko.

Stugats.

Look, you get one pop print, that's the first clue. You put it in a notebook. Now, what do you do? Blues Clues, Blues Clues. Sit on the chair and think about it.

This is the Dan Leventhal Show with the Stugats.

Tonight, we've got the Ravens and the dolphins, the The Ravens line keeps going up. The Ravens are now at minus eight tonight. I heard on the way in that in Ravens games and dolphins games this year, because the defenses are so bad, 87% of the time, the over has come in in those games because the defenses are so terrible. Zazlo is here saying that the more interesting game tonight, this has to be regionally. It's more interesting because I think the wants to see Lamar Jackson come back. Everybody's saying this week, all of a sudden, I'm hearing everyone saying that your beloved stealers, Dave, are going to give up. They're going to cough up the division to the Ravens who had it there, who just gave it away to them at the beginning of the season.

Are they going to do that? One 60 minutes stretch made define the Steelers season. The loss at Sinsy to decrepit Joe Flacko and Company was a grim one. They could have been five and one in a full four games ahead of the Ravens, even though that's a third of the season. That would be a It's a tall mountain for Lamar and company to overcome. As it is now, the Steelers are falling apart. Colts this weekend, then at the Chargers, they still have to play the Bills, they have to play the Ravens twice. I am not optimistic as a Steelers fan.

That's on these splitters that were low and away, and I kept saying it over and over again. You got to miss up and down. You got to mix in and out, and that's how you attack this Dodgers.

Dan, to be fair to Zaz, it is a sneaky good NBA night, right? Because Spurs versus heat on first blush, people say, Oh, that's boring out I don't know. But obviously, Webminyama has been playing great, and the heat have been the best offense in the NBA. And so there's something there. It's a great game that's going to be on League Pass. Meanwhile, on NBA TV, you got Warriors versus Bucks. Big game? Huge game. What are you talking? Come on. Two MVPs.

Okay, hold on a second. Zaz? Hold on a second. Warriors, Bucks, Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Don't we have imaging for this? Do we have big game or not big game? Don't we have- Big The Warriors are four and one.

The Bucks are three and one. Something's got to give. That's a big game. Big game. That's a big game. Big game. That's It's a big game.

Damoshek said that the Steelers are falling apart. Do you mean physically or just architecturally? Because one of the interesting things halfway through the season, the Dolphins are super hurt. They've got a lot of injuries on top of everything else. But one of my favorite things in the middle of the season, as people fall apart, as teams fall apart, and human beings fall apart, next thing you know, you're looking up and the Broncos need some help to get to the top of the division and catch the Chiefs. And how are they going to do it with 41-year-old Mercedes-Lewis? He's back. He's still doing it? No, he's back. Jack. He is back for one more job. Mercedes-lewis at 41 years old, carrying around a machine that I imagine has IVs, a dialysis machine running through your secondary. But can still block one guy with a hand. And absolutely get open for a six-yard button hook. From Bo Nicks, Mercedes-Lewis is how the Denver Broncos are going to chase down the chiefs at the top of the division, even though they're ahead of the division. But on the poll at Levitard show, do the Broncos have to chase down the Chiefs even though the Chiefs are behind them?

Yeah. Architectually, it makes sense.

Ultimately, when you see that slide with right-handed batters. He's going to go low and away. It's going to get them lunging. But that's when he busts up and in, and then he attacks them with a splitter.

If you're going to be honest, O'Tani trying to swing for the fences every time pisses me off, Dan. I don't want to hear anything. I don't want to even see. Talk about a thin ass on a fat guy. Alejandro Kirk, I don't want to see that guy ever again. Tired of Alejandro Kirk. Oh, he's so cool. He's a frumpy little guy. No, guy sucks. Get him out of here.

What happened? Why are you so mad at Alejandro Kirk?

I'm a Dodgers guy, Dan. You know that. It's pissing me off the way that every single player tries to swing for the fences with Trader Savage throwing a splitter that drops 6 feet.

I'll tell you what I'm tired of. Last night, I'm waiting for the game to start. So I got the Cavs and Celtics on the small TV in the Zazlo mansion family room. And on the big TV, I got the World Series pregame. You'd probably be saying, Why don't I have it the other way around? Why don't I have the actual game going on in the pregame on the small TV? I didn't want to have to change the TV. So I'm getting set. Smart move. I'm getting ready. So let's just put the pregame on the big TV. And I'm tired of Derek Jeter. Boy, he sucks.

This is how Zaz sets the mood for love.

That's right.

I got that on the little screen. Come in here, sugar.

The only thing missing was me announcing to my wife that Monday Night Raw is on. Cody Rose is in the ring. She loves when I do that. But there's Derek, Dan, I turn on the pregame, and right away, I get this Derek Jeter. He sucks. And straight up just says, Blake Snell is definitely going to be incredible tonight. How could you say I get it, Blake Snell is really good. You're facing the American League champions here. How is he definitely going to be really good? And guess what? The first two baddest of the game, home run.

That part was amazing. At three pitches into the game, he'd given up two solo shots, and I was listening. I'm listening to Boog Shambi on the radio, and these are the stats that he gives, that Blake Snell's strikeout rate is better than Bob Gibson's. It's number one. Also, in 48% of his games, he either gives up zero runs or one run. First pitch, one run. Third pitch, two runs. That's got to be the first time that's ever happened in the history of the sport.

I got a question. I'm new to baseball, admittedly, but looking at the game last night, does Blake Snell to look like Kenny Power's to you all, or is it just me?

He's like, Kenny Power's on Ozempic. I saw Cujine. I saw Cujine.

Yeah, Cujine. That's it. That's a good call.

Everything Cheater says, he's wrong. No one cares about your predictions. And if you're going to predictions. Get it right once in a while.

Give me a full extension out. Full extension out. That's what Trey Isavage is doing, right? You get that split finger grip, and that's why Shoheya Tani is leaning out in front.

All he does is lean out in front. Buddy, he's going to throw the split. It's going to drop like a trapped door.

What are you doing?

Speaking of Derek Jeter and getting things wrong, he did say after Yamamoto pitched a complete game that he definitely wasn't going to pitch another complete game. And then Yamamoto then did indeed pitch Which another complete game.

Take care. Brush your hair.

Juju, I've got to- It's Kenny Power. I understand why you're doing that, but that is way too narrow an ass to be Kenny Power. It's his sick brother. Kenny Power.

Lenny Power. Lenny.

Put it on the poll at Levitard Show, does Blake Snell look like Kenny Power's his sick younger brother, Lenny Power, at Levitard Show?

He's chinless. Yeah, he's not at all comparable.

Come on, take care, brush your hair.

I disagree with you, though, Zaz, on Blake Snell having a bad outing. I mean, yes, the two go-balls to start the game were bad, but he went 116 pitches against the American League champ.

Sheeter You never said he was going to throw a gem.

You're mad at Jeter, not Snell.

Right, right. Snell was fine. You can't announce that a pitcher is going to throw a gem, and the first two batters go yard.

First three pitches, two home runs. This one's confusing. Damoshek, that was such a good correction, and yet you lose. Zazlo is correct. But it can never be a gem if three pitches in, you've allowed two baseballs to leave the park.

Touche, but it also deserves the asterisk of the Curse of Sposta, which is what Blake Snell and the Dodgers are carrying on their shoulders on top of. They are supposed to win this one. And it's not just this series, it is this era. And they are, like I was saying a few minutes ago before Sipowitz interrupted me, Sippowitz is skinny ass or otherwise.

So stay focused, damn, Shaq.

This is a seminal moment in TV history, Dave.

Yeah. The Dodgers are about to become the Atlanta Braves, and I think America at large is going to be happy about it. I mean, they have two titles versus the Braves having the one, but the COVID one only counts for half. I think we all agree with that.

Well, I'd be careful with that, just given that it's Yamamoto in game 6 and then O'Tani in game 7. And in game 7, the Blue Jays are going to throw Scherzer out there, throwing 92 miles an hour. That is not who you want to be your game 7 starter. How old is Scherzer? Is Scherzer as old as Mercedes-Lewis? I think he is as old. Older. I think he's 41 years old as well.

Will it be Ohtani, Game 7? We know that, yeah.

I'm assuming so.

I thought O'Tani was going to be in the bullpen for six and seven.

Samson said last night that it would be Glass now in Game 7.

But Ohtani will be ready.

All on to available game seven.

If it's Glass now, I mean, Glass now is also an ace.

Nice correction for Dan, who clearly doesn't know what he's talking about because you have a guy in Blake Snell who looks like the only person in the world ever named Snell. Why is he throwing fastballs? Early in the game, you got an ever-aggressive Blue Jay's team. They jump on for it.

He's going after you. No, well, that's the other thing. I tune into his broadcast last night, and the first thing he's doing is He's really busy. Questioning all of Blake Snell's technique and strategy when he's a two-time Cy Young winner and Jeremy's out here saying, Well, you got to throw that fastball in a different place. Well, yeah, probably. That's probably what Blake Snell was. The splitters are trapped door.

They're in a false.

Ultimate aggressive team in the Toronto Blue Jays. They led the league in hitting for a reason. They jump on that first.

The video team thinks he looks like nick Wright.

While all of you are here, can I get the bucket in play because we've got a crowded show today. David Samson is going to be on with us. Pablo Tori is going to be on with us. Jessica Smetana is going to be on with us. And all of us here are going to be at the Miller Light Watch Party tonight in It's a block party. It's a costume party. It is the Dolphins against Baltimore in a game that I suspect only has a regional interest here that is real super thin because I don't expect much of anything from the Dolphins this season. And to be more than a shutdown underdog at home, I don't expect much from them tonight either.

Danny, you said it. We're throwing a Miller light watch party for Thursday night football. Dolphins, Ravens, at the Flanigan's in Kendall. My home, Flanigan's, by the way. Kendall Drive and 127. Have. Join us tonight for Halloween Block Party. Costumes encourage. Come hang out with the crew. Dan, Chris, Roy, Tony, Jeremy, Amine, Juju, Dave, Damage Check, and more. Party starts at 6: 00. Kickoff at 8: 15. Don't miss Flanigan's $1,500 costume contents. It's Miller time. Presented by Miller time. Maybe we'll have a special guest appearance by Cash Patel, too.

Cash Patel just distracted your read there by putting his- The thing is, his jacket is very plastic-y, right?

Yeah. It's like, I hear the rustling, and then my sense is I got to do a chameleon thing where I'll split my eyes and look the other way.

That's how you know the FBI is coming. They got them windbreakers.

Exactly right.

Put it on the poll at Lebitard show. Is that how you know the FBI is coming? They've got them windbreakers.

Don Lebatard.

It sounds to me like everybody could use a hug because a hug is always the right size.

Stugatz.

All I have put in my body today is three cups of coffee and an entire cup of Honey.

Go to the Penal Box.

Don't let him fool you. He said in the break that he's jittery.

This is the Don Levatard show with the Stugatz.

Tony, did you listen to Pablo Tori Finds Out?

Dano, I found out. If Pablo Tori finds out, Tony finds out. I got something for Pablo Tori later on.

You do? Oh, yeah. Do you want to give anything to the audience in the way of a tease on this episode? Because Amin is starring in this episode. Amin, who is doing a lot of role-playing throughout Metalark Media, he looked like a poker player. He was dressed a bit like Chris Moneymaker in terms of trying to put the sunglasses on and trying to give off the appearance that he was in a rigged card game. What can you tell us about the episode, Tony? How much of it did you absorb and retain?

The entire thing. So obviously, the episode centers around this guy, Sugar Shane, who is what Pablo is painting, maybe the architect of some of the things that are going on. But there's a lot of callbacks to former episodes where there was stuff with the Jante Porter group chat, the Malik Beesley story in July. With all this together, Tyrone Lou is mentioned, KG is mentioned, but the entire show basically is framed around this guy, Sugar Shane. Allegedly. Allegedly, who's allegedly maybe taking a plea deal, but then also maybe also playing not guilty. There's a couple of things going on. But the one thing that I know for sure is that I've realized what Pablo's game is. I get his game now. He gets sources, he gets people, this and that.

Oh my God. Again, by the way, this is again, months of investigation. This is more than 20 sources. This is thousands of documents again.

I found out who one of his sources is. I know it from listening. I can tell, Oh, I know what's going on here. I know Pablo's game.

You got to be careful with that. You got to protect Pablo's sources.

For sure. I'm going to protect him, but I just know. I want him to know.

I know. I know who it is.

I know who it is. It took me 30 seconds of investigation. So think about it. It took you months and thousands of documents and people and 900 people you talked to. I found out 2 seconds in.

I like the idea of Tony finds out takes 30 seconds of an investigation. Just give him 30 seconds He's going to find out something.

I just need to hear a couple of things, bim, bim, bim. I know who it is.

But Dan, to the point of the episode, this character, Shane Hennon. Astute listeners will remember back in July when we were talking about Malik Beesley and the Jante Porta text messages, as Tony mentioned. Shane Hennan was a central figure in all of this. As you look at the indictments that came down, there were three different ones. One was Operation Nothing But Bet, one was Operation Royal Flush, Nothing But Bet, centered around two different groups of people. The only connective tissue through all of that was Shane Hennon. And so we've been doing months of investigation on him, digging deep into his social media posts. Which is great, by the way. And we had our hands on some documents that were public I know Pat 40 came out with something late last night. That had a lot of similar material, but we got some documents that weren't public. And again, Dan, this is the thing. When I do these Pablo episodes, I have an idea. I definitely, in this one, a lot more than the Quai one, because I've contributed to some of the research and the findings, but they always come with some stuff. I'm like, You had this?

You found this? Tony, how about the part where the Miami heat factored in?

Dana, if you zoom in and clarify- Hold on.

I saw it is nice storytelling, and he's doing a futuristic journalism with old-fashioned- Like Amazon's basketball coverage? Old-fashioned journalism principles. And so he's telling nice and fun stories, but don't give away too much here.

We're not going to give it away, but I'm just saying there is something fun where in the middle of these episodes, I feel like I'm in a all the President's Man or whatever. It's like, Wait a second. Let me see that picture again. Enhance. Enhance. Enhance again. Clarify it. Do we have another angle? They're like, Oh, my God! It's an amazing reveal, and it's, again, the fruit of months and months of research.

Amazing reveals are part of what Pablo does, but I think I am with Tony Finds Out and the 32nd episode of Pablo's fallen in love with that voice distortion. He's fallen in love with the shadowy pixelation, and he did it to somebody I believe I've heard tell that story without pixelation or without-This is not Dan finds out.

I don't know.

I'm my boy Cooke.

It sounds like you're finding out.

I have not found out.

You found out because I told you.

I'm theorizing about what you found out.

I also thought it was that guy, too.

Not Chris finds out. This is not Chris finds out.

Chris 10 finds out is 10 seconds long, and then Chris finds out is 2 seconds long.

I just saw the distorted sound. I'm like, Oh, I've seen that guy tell that story.

This is like that scene in the something about Mary where it's a five-minute abs. That's great. Until someone comes out with four-minute abs. No, wait. No, no. It's five-minute abs.

When I saw-80% of the batters they faced, fewer than five base runners and a win. Both of those postseason games, Trey, you're savage. He's just a 12 pitcher ever with 12 strikeouts in a World Series game.

When I saw the modulation, my immediate thought was, Wait a minute. I think Pablo is doing this to people who aren't asking for anonymity because he just likes doing That guy has spoken a couple of times, and I don't think he wants to be- Maybe that guy.

Again, what I found out. I don't think that guy wants to be muzzled, Dan.

We're not sure. We're going to go to the bucket with everyone here. Anyone who is here on a Thursday has to go to the Dentec bucket. We have all of the games. Dameshek has never been to the bucket.

He makes a bad day to be here, Dave.

Juju has rarely been to the bucket, but we are now all going to the Dentec bucket. I will tell you guys, again, when it comes to teeth grinding, if you are having trouble with your jaw or TMJ, Dentec helps with that. This mouth guard, if you sleep with it and you use it correctly, will help you. What are you shaking your head? No.

Dan, he had picked something out of the bucket before you said go, so it doesn't count.

Cheater, broken either. Okay. Why aren't you guys legislating this? I did. That's why I had to wave you off. You got to keep an eye on damage.

He was also looking in the bucket, another no-no.

He's a known cheater.

How dare you?

How dare you?

How dare you?

You're trying to bed the bucket.

I saw it.

Leveling accusations against me will not stand, sir.

You put your hand in there, you don't look.

Excuse me, good sir. I will not stand for this. I will not be ensnared in your accusation.

You are standing.

Can I now take one?

Yes.

The bucket is presented by Dentec's ultimate fantasy football punishment.

I got the exact same one I took out beforehand, the Kansas City Chief.

Learn more and sign up your league at dentec. Com.

They're two and a half point favorite at Buffalo. That line keeps going up in favor of Kansas City. Are you taking them or are you going to put it back and try and get a better one?

I am going to take the Kansas City Chief to cover against the Buffalo It'll be ours.

Right, on the Juju.

Josh Allen has beaten them a lot in the regular season, right? He just never beats them in the postseason.

Don't bet on it, John Deno. I got the New York Giants. The New York football Giants are two and a half point underdogs at home against the Niners. No scuttable, no pick in the helmet.

Scuttable is showing the line.

I got the Raiders. The Raiders.

I'm sorry. They're a three and a half point dog at home against Jacksonville. I don't think that's that bad.

That's a lot of dog, Dino.

If you're going to get the Raiders, it's a decent spot to get the Raiders.

That's a dead dog, Tony. That's the Raiders.

Tell me about it. They're both are dead dogs, Dano. I got the Tampa Bay Bucaneers on a buy week.

You got to buy.

I'm underfeared this year.

Cash Patel, it is your turn to reach into the bucket. Go ahead. La consta nostra. Stay in character. You got to keep your eyes crossed. You're not keeping your eyes crossed.

Sometimes it's hard to see the truth. I got dub bears.

Chicago bears are…

They are on the road at Cincinnati. They're a three and a half point favorite.

I'm putting it back in the bucket. Really?

Wow. Scared of Joe Flacko.

I can't bear to bet against Flacko, and you can bet on it.

Flacko.

Joe Flacko is-Probably going to be Jake Browning.

Yeah, Joe Flacko is a big maybe. Oh, wow. He shouldn't take it.

Now, they tell me. Damn it.

I got the Niners.

Their favorite. Mccorkle. At the Giants, two and a half point favorite. All right, here we go.

Tony, that's good analysis. Just shouting McCorkle Just got to know.

I got the Colts. That feels like a good one. Only three and a half point favorites at the Steelers. That Damosheck steal. I'm keeping the Colts.

Yeah, good move.

This is the game that Tomlin does win. That keeps him in play for 9 and 8, 10 and 7. This is a Tomlin' cycle.

I was looking at them for survivor this week. I'm like, No, the Steelers could do it.

This is the game that Aaron Rodgers loses, though.

All right, let's do it. All right, Zaz is up.

I got the Browns.

Wolf. I'm sorry. On a buy. Oh, nice. Congratulations. I'm not talking about.

You want to swap with me?

Swap buys?

No, I don't want to swap.

Why are you swapping?

You technically can't swap.

You're not allowed to just swap like that. That's the Vikings I got. Do I want the Vikings?

Vikings are a nine and a half point underdog at the lions. Keep them.

Bad pick, Daniel.

Thank you, Tony. I got the bangles. I'm going to lose every damn year. Jake Browning, you love costumes, Every week. No, I don't love wearing the costume. They give me a headache, and then Juju accuses me of being tone deaf.
