Transcript of David Samson Asks For Amin's Position | Hour 1

The doctor just said, "Stop doing it."

Uh—

Oh no, muted—

No technical difficulty—

Good morning—

Ah, there it is—

Hello—

Hello, it means—

Hello, there he is—

Hello, Edward Armour, a winner—

David, I started off the show today saying how, for the first time in probably 20 years, I sat down and watched in its entirety the movie Heat. When is the last time you saw Heat?

In its entirety?

Yeah, like you sat down and you're like, "I'mma watch"—

20 years.

Right, yeah, me too—

Wow—

So long—

But I've seen snippets of it since, because if it's on, I'm gonna watch it, but I'm not— it's not one of my watch-to-completion movies. I've got like a list of 30 movies, like A Few Good Men is an example, that no matter where it is, if I— that movie's on, I watch it until it finishes. Ed TV is an example of a movie that no matter what, I will watch until it finishes.

Really?

Ed TV?

I love Ed TV. I just love it. I mean, anytime you can get Rob Reiner in a penis pump, you know you need to stay in place.

Everyone knows that—

It's like shelter in place. But Heat is— it's a very big commitment, especially when there's commercials.

Right, well, no, I— I decided I made it a point, like, you know what, I'm gonna sit down and I'mma watch Heat right now. I'm gonna devote 2 hours and 15 minutes, I got the time tonight, and I'mma sit and watch it. It had been like 20 years. Is it the best—

What a marriage you have—

It's great, right?

On Monday there's no Heat game. What— what is it, Zaz? No Heat, no Panthers, no Dolphins, no Hurricanes?

That's right.

So you sit for 2:50, watch a flick, while people at the— I assume the Zazlow Mansion are like, "Hey, where's Dad?" Ah, whatever, it doesn't matter.

And there was no wrestling! You left out wrestling!

Oh, sorry—

We had some free time last night. No, my wife goes upstairs, she watches her shows. She's watching that— what's the one called right now with, uh, Kirsten Bell? The— where she matches Rob Reiner?

Oh, nobody wants this—

Yeah, nobody wants this. She's— she's into that, so she's watching that right now. I'm watching Heat—

Billings wants it—

Yeah. There you go. Great movie.

Listen, I am the last guy to talk about marital bliss, that's all I'll say.

What's your favorite Michael Mann film?

What are my choices? I think Heat's gotta be it—

All of the Michael Mann films—

I can't think of them off the top of my head, Mike—

I got you—

It's Collateral—

Uh-huh—

I like that—

My advice—

Ali—

No—

Good—

I thought— I thought you were— you would probably pick Ali because of, uh, your personal relationship with Muhammad Ali.

Uh, he was just part of a show that I saw last night. I saw Billy Crystal on Broadway. I'm gonna review it in full on Broadway—

Oh, I don't like that guy—

I don't think so—

Everybody knows—

I don't like him—

You don't like Billy Crystal?

No, that's—

I've never met anyone who doesn't like Billy Crystal—

It's where the legend of—

It's where the legend of—

Says being a cock started—

Oh, that's where I happened—

It was The Dream, where, you know, he had to watch Billy Crystal get down on it.

Damn—

Did he throw your mama from a train?

Ah, I see what you mean—

That's a good movie—

Excellent reference—

Hey, uh, David, I have a list of Michael Mann movies for you.

Go—

All right, the— the big ones, that is. The Last of the Mohicans?

Daniel Day-Lewis—

Right—

Like it—

Heat—

Yeah—

The Insider— Oh, that's a good— I like The Insider—

Russell Crowe, I won't watch that again, but great movie—

Really? I've watched it a bunch. It's a great movie—

He did Mindhunter, right?

He did not do the movie Mindhunter— Uh, Ali, Collateral, Miami Vice, Public Enemies. That's with, uh, Johnny Depp—

Johnny Depp and Christian Bale—

Yeah— Black Hat, and then Ferrari. I did not know he did the Ferrari movie—

4V Ferrari?

No, no, no, just Ferrari—

What's that about—

Just Ferrari?

Yep—

I don't know that I know Just Ferrari—

It's Adam— Adam Driver, right?

Ferrari, yeah. It is the biographical sports drama film, starring—

Why did you say that?

—the one in the—

Adam Driver—

So he's working on Adam Driver—

No, there's none of those movies that would make my list a meme. Not— the list, remember, it's not a very big list—

Yeah—

Where no matter what you're doing, you stop, drop, and watch—

I think he's got two—

That's not a lot—

Of those movies— I think he's got two of those movies— Heat is his masterpiece, but Collateral's not very far behind—

Right—

Collateral's amazing—

Manhunter was the movie we—

Manhunter, I'm sorry, yeah—

Yeah—

Confuse it with the Netflix series, which is, you know, kind of similar—

Yeah, it's killers—

Yeah, uh, that— that movie was part of the whole Silence of the Lambs franchise—

Manhunter?

Manhunter, yeah—

Was it?

Yes—

That's a funny word for it, Mike— franchise—

It is, it has—

Silence of the Lambs— when they made that, do you think they were thinking, when they were talking about Chianti and Clarice was looking at, uh, Hannibal saying, "This could be a franchise"?

Well, there's— yeah, there's four— four films in the franchise—

Hello, Clarice— Hello, that's very good, I mean—

Thank you—

David, I wanna ask you about the Dolphins game this past weekend, where, look, Dolphin games, especially when they're popular teams that they're playing, you're always going to get a decent portion of fans for the visiting team, all right? Last weekend against the Lions, I've never seen anything like that where it's— it's not New York, it's not Philadelphia, it's not Boston, it's Detroit, and it was a sea of blue.

It must drive him crazy. One of the things, you know, I can say that I wanted to sell tickets and it felt good, but it's not great when your own team is booed at home or when you're being drowned out. Just think about this last World Series, the number of Brewers fans in Tampa, and you saw what happened after they won game five. There were thousands and thousands of fans. It was like a home game. And that's something— it happens at Heat games. I've been to Heat games where the Knicks just overwhelm the Heat fans, even when the Heat were good.

Me neither—

—Lions fans in South Florida. Maybe it's 'cause the weather is much better at this time of year. But the reality is, as I thought about it, and I did think about it, Zaz, it's 'cause the Dolphins just stink so badly that anyone who has any interest in the Dolphins as being their primary sort of target of fun and cheering and uniform wearing, they've been broken. They're— they're done this year, after, listen, 26 years of complete ineffectiveness. So I think you're seeing it more and more with teams when they're bad.

I— I'll add on to that. First of all, the Knicks in San Antonio was overwhelming.

Yeah—

Every game was—

And— and in Philadelphia, it's close to—

But game five—

Train ride—

—game five, the Clincher, it was— it was Madison Square Garden. It was— you couldn't even hear people cheering for the Spurs. But specifically to the Dolphins, it's a— it's a couple things. Number one, the team is bad. Anytime the team is bad, what David is describing is, if I own season tickets to the Dolphins and I'm given the option of either A, going to this game to watch them get their heads bashed in, or B, some Jamoke from Detroit who's flying down wants to pay me even closer—

But that's also a point, like, I didn't know Lions fans travel like that—

But— but they do, because here's the thing about the NFL, this is why the NFL is really the perfect sport. It's a weekend proposition. I can fly down from Detroit, go to this game, and be back home in time to go to work on Monday morning. You really can't do that in any other of the professional sports. And like David said, what's the weather like in Detroit right now? What's the weather like in Miami right now? Hell yeah, that's— hey guys, let's go on a road trip. We're gonna go down to Miami. We'll fly down there. We can get tickets probably for close to face, because they're terrible, and whoever has those season tickets just wants to leave with his shirt on his back.

But if you're asking about Steve Ross, when you watch a team that's yours and you're losing and you've got fans that are making it seem like a road game, you're just despondent on so many levels. But the road fans never go above the fact that we stink. The fact that—

Yeah—

—we stink is always the number one thing that bothers an executive way more so. But it's on the list, but it's below the— it's below the line that you're filling your stadium with Lions.

I'll be honest with you, David, when I worked for the Suns, we were really good, and when the Lakers came to town, you just knew half this building is gonna be wearing purple and gold, because for these people from LA, that's an hour flight, and by the way, a lot cheaper to go to a game in Phoenix than it is to go at Staples. And we just accepted it. Now come playoff time, all those season ticket holders who were selling those tickets for regular season matchups, they tend to keep them, so it was much more of a home environment in the playoffs than it was during the regular season.

David, I— I saw your take on the CFP, and I— I really disagree with it. Um, it's the same kind of stuff that you're seeing from the— the people issuing statements that are basically like F them fans. You— you think that ultimately more playoff games are gonna be good for the sport and it's gonna be good for business. And— and here's my argument against it. We are in a world where rights can go down. Now the four majors, national TV rights, they've all gone up, but we might be approaching a spot where they go down. And they have gone down on the local level, but sports like the MLS, UFC, NASCAR, WWE, they will never see the kind of money that they got in their most recent national deals.

Mike, I wanna clarify something with you, because I wanna make sure I didn't misspeak. I'm not a pro when it comes to college football, so I didn't actually say whether this was good or bad for the sport. I was really just talking about the business and explaining why the decision was made. I wasn't making a judgment about whether fans benefit from this or not, because I don't have an opinion. My guess is I'd always rather go to a playoff game than a regular season game, but that's speaking more professionally, and I never went to Wisconsin weekend games, so I just don't know.

David—

That's all I was saying—

David, let me ask you a question, but on this topic, right? When Europe went through this about, "Hey, we're gonna create a Super League, and this is gonna be great for business, we're gonna get all the best clubs, but maybe this might deteriorate to some of the fan experience and certainly to the smaller clubs," Europe collectively lost their mind, and the— that business proposition basically was abandoned. Do you think there's something inherently different about the European consumer that makes them tougher to crack than the American consumer?

Well, remember, a lot of the owners of those EPL teams are Americans who own those teams. They just underestimated the entitlement of fans over in Europe. It's like nothing I've ever seen. When I went to Liverpool against Man U, they were marching about Tom Hicks in a way, back when Tom Hicks owned the team prior to John Henry taking over in Liverpool. It was staggering. If you thought the vitriol in the US is you hire a guy to fly a— a— a plane that has a banner that says, "Sell the team," or you write up a sign that your kindergartner can do with a magic marker, you know, "Screw you, sell your team," that's child's play.

I don't think that's true.

Uh, in terms of my individual passion.

Yeah.

It— it's on the line, but in terms of the power that collective fan bases have, everything pales in comparison to what they have over in Europe. I mean, they stopped Super League from happening, at least for the moment, and a lot of them have poison pills, even Chelsea. Like, they can't do— they can't make a stadium deal without going to a founders club that owns parts of the pitch. Like, these are actual real estate deals, and a lot of these clubs have poison pills like that where you just can't come in and be a capitalist.

The legal power is what you're saying.

Yeah. But in the United States, David, the closest thing that we have to that kind of consumer power is in college football. How many head coaches have been stopped by message boards? You know, Texas A&M doesn't hire stoops. Gregg Sciano doesn't go to Tennessee. Like, these things happen because, unlike the other sports, your consumers that buy tickets, also, you're relying on donations. And that model is not being taken off the table. No matter how much you increase revenue sharing, they are never going to take someone that is willing to give you, you know, $50,000 a year.

No, no. No more. We.

Yeah.

We have capitalism to take care of that now.

Yeah. So these people have a lot of influence, and that— I don't see that part going away. I do think that if there were ever a fan base to band together and say, "This is nonsense. Let's put an end to it," it's college football, and I do think there's going to be lasting damage. While the— the expanded— we'll be all there watching the expanded playoff, and yeah, I'll get up for, you know, SMU Iowa, and I'll be thirsty for steaks by the time they roll around. My bet is this expanded field, as presently constituted with the bloated conferences and all that, is going to go away.

Dan Le Batard.

There's sunglasses in boxes today, but in my bed in the hospital, ending our lives all the same.

Jeremy Touché.

It's the final nightgown.

This is the Dan Le Batard Show.

How quickly did the Super League fans stand up? Do you remember how that worked when the announcement came and it was that night? That it wasn't just bad PR. Bad PR happens when an executive cheats on his wife or— or her husband, or something happens with the coach, or there's, you know, Bill Belichick on a ring cam for crying out loud. It's such— it's such child's play compared to what goes on in Europe where it was that night.

Riots.

The college— it's un— it's unreal. The CFP expansion was announced, and yeah, you've got people with takes on the air, you've got a few commissioners, "Hey, we're gonna evaluate this, we're not quite sure." Other commissioners were like, "Yeah, this is good." Some fan bases were like, "Eh, it may not be good for the sport." You're a great example. You've got a large voice with great reach, and you commented saying, "No, this is not good for the fans, I don't like it." But that was it. In Europe, it's quick and it's deep, and it's not just people with a platform of millions, it's people with a platform of zero getting together and combining it.

David, we're gonna get to the bucket here in a couple minutes, and we wanna include you, of course, but first, Amin, can you explain to me, and— and obviously I want David's thoughts as well, can you explain to me, like I'm a five-year-old, what this Nvidia story is?

Oh, man, I've been waiting all week to talk about this. All right, Nvidia is the company that makes the chips that most of the AI in— at least in the Western world runs on, right? Very important company, has been skyrocketing in stock price for years now, right? The CEO of Nvidia allegedly has an affair, and the woman turns out to allegedly be a Chinese spy. So there are all sorts of implications on a national security level, uh, about this kind of breach. My thing is, I don't wanna talk about the serious implications.

You're also like, "I don't know." Like, whatever.

I don't think it was necessarily that. I think it was her professionalism that he trusted, because she wasn't no bum.

Sure.

He thought that she was kind of a peer, so he found a peer that he could share some of his trades with, so he fell for that.

But you're just— I'm just still saying, like, even if it was someone like, "Oh yeah, you know a lot about the— the— the podcast or the broadcasting business," like, I'm not talking about that. We're talking about, "Yo, give me a banana and a bottle of water and let me listen to round two or whatever." I'm not talking who's— even if I'm friends with this person, I'm like, "Hey, look at this meme of the Nvidia CEO." I'm sharing those. I'm not sharing state secrets. Like, there's nothing in my mind that could ever lead from, like, seduction to divulging something that is not public domain that, by the way, could damage my business by way of someone finding out something.

Well, so and do we know how much info he divulged?

David?

One second, guys. It's the woman that we're talking about was actually in the C-suite of another company. It wasn't that she was just a spy and worked for the government. Well, you could argue that the companies work for the government, but we can talk about China another day. But she is rumored to be part of the Chinese intelligence network.

Mm-hmm.

But it was like going to a— a conference that any of us would go to and seeing someone else who does what we do and who's, "Hey, let's have some drinks and just see what happens."

Sure.

That— that's what happened. But then what happened two days ago, or yesterday, he also had an affair with someone who worked for him.

Ah.

Inside Nvidia.

Shucks.

And when that came to light, that was sort of the final straw that caused him to resign today.

He's a cocksmith.

Though, on— listen, on nothing personal, yesterday we were pretty clear two days ago, or five days ago, when this happened, he— he couldn't survive it. There's too much money at stake now. It's too big a company, as Amin said. There's too much market price. There's too much equity owned by employees and institutional investors that you just are not gonna have the distraction. There's a lot of talk that, "Oh, it's the biggest divorce ever. His wife's gonna leave him. She's gonna be worth $81 billion more than Gates, more than— more than Bezos's ex." You know, whatever.

I love divorces.

And divorces.

And divorces.

Yeah.

Yeah, and she could also put that money and short the AI market and become the world's richest person if they do that. I— I just wanna, uh, clarify one thing. Um, the US reportedly did know about the Chinese espionage ties and still allowed them on very secure places, and the US Commerce Department was approving sales of Nvidia chips to companies in China which either did not exist or were on the sanctions list and/or had ties to Chinese military per The New York Times.

Nvidia CEO White.

You can't be shocked at any of this.

Sure.

What is shocking to me is how quickly it can unravel and the decisions that men or women make when they've got huge, huge jobs that are very public at public companies when they are even in sports. Whatever you're doing, everybody makes a decision at some point, and the majority of people say, you know, "WTF, I'm not gonna get caught, and if I get caught, I'll tip my cap and say it was worth it." And then you get caught and you're forced to resign, and all of a sudden you're like, "Well, wait a minute, that doesn't seem worth it." I'm not sure what is going on in his mind right now, but what I do know is he's not fighting resi.

She's not on Instagram, guys.

That's it.

I tried. I don't know how else to connect.

The second one?

No. I'm looking— I'm looking for that 81.

Yes, you. Amin, if you're gonna— if you're gonna make a play here, you're not making a play for who he had the affairs with.

Oh.

You're making a play for his ex-wife.

I don't want no spies around me. I want a good woman who stands by my side and is loyal. And I see you, Lori, and I wanna let you know I'm loyal too. I won't do you like Jensen did. You need to come over here and get with a real one. Look at this. I got a 5 o'clock shadow going and my shirt's open and I got my little chain on.

That's why you're wearing that.

Yeah.

You're hoarding.

But Amin, how big a prenup?

Oh.

What would you require? Because obviously when she gets remarried, there's gonna be a prenup.

Let me be ah, Billy. Just ah, Billy.

Oh, oh, a prenup on her end.

On Billy.

Oh, I'm sorry. I was like, "What prenup? She don't need a prenup. You can have anything."

Ah, Billy, we win a few natties, we'll— we'll all be happy.

I— look, I— I just wanna— I— I'll— I'll settle for a very modest $50 million.

That's humble of you, by the way.

Very humble.

That's why you're good.

Because I— I'm— I'm in love. I— that's how I—

But you also stand with Jay— Jaden Daniels' mom too.

Not anymore.

Oh, you're out of it?

Ah, look.

You're not standing behind her.

Look, if Lori Wong is calling— Lori Mills, excuse me. You use your— you use your maiden name, and by the way, I will never have you. Matter of fact, I'll take your name.

She means nothing, Amin.

Amin Mills. Amin Mills is my—

The way the majority of prenups work, Amin.

Yes?

Is that you get an annual salary where the longer you stay with her.

Oh.

The more money you get out of it.

Nah, I need that lump sum.

No, no.

And so do you want the ups— lump sum up front?

Yeah.

Do you want no sort of guarantee that you've gotta invest multiple years? What's your position as your representative? I wanna help you because I think you have a shot with her.

David.

She's in the market. She's got 81 bill and she's looking for love, so just tell me which direction you want me to go.

David, my position is usually from behind, but this is what I'll say. I will say that whatever she wants. You want a lump sum, I'll do a lump sum. You wanna do annual, per annum? Annual, annual.

Do what? Do one now?

Do one now?

I'll do that too.

That's weird.

However.

You're a spot that swallow your teeth, my friend.

Well, I— I don't have the tongue of a seven-footer, but I bring other things to the table. Hello.

Dan Le Batard. Put a finger in there, but if you tell anyone, I'll deny it. Mike Ryan. Don't you stare at it, eat it. This is the Dan Le Batard Show.

David?

Ah.

The time has come. The Reaper is here. Let's get to the bucket.

Oh, the Reaper's been fighting.

I'm changing my way today.

What does that mean?

I'm not just taking it as it comes.

Okay.

Because I got stuck last week with the Chargers.

Okay. All right. Juju's up first here. He's rummaging.

The New York Giants tonight.

That's tonight. Two and a half point home favor over the Commanders.

Balling back into the bucket.

What? You're not gonna trust my man, James?

You're what? I'm not. It's gonna be raining too hard tonight.

Maybe JJ McCarthy by the way. I'm hoping for a rematch and for it to play out the exact same way.

I got the coats.

There you go.

That's it. You deserve that.

Whoa, that's a good spot.

What?

They're the Dolphins.

The Dolphins?

Yeah.

That's a good spot.

All right. Mike Ryan is up.

Seattle Seahawks.

At Raiders, plus six and a half.

No, minus six and a half.

Mendoza first start.

Mendoza first start against that defense. I'm gonna keep it.

Mendoza!

That's a great pick for you. Here you go. Let's see.

That is good.

Good pick. Back-to-back good picks here. Let's see.

Use your tongue.

Rummaging.

Oh, no. Miami Dolphins. Putting that back.

Oh, no.

Instantly.

Didn't even wanna think about it, huh?

You got a good shake. No.

No.

No, sir.

Did the little Reaper take growth hormone from last week?

Yeah.

Same thing that Messi took.

Underdog helmet.

Very interesting. All right, I'm gonna take a look and, uh, report back.

All right. Roy, you're up. Don't pretend like you don't see him doing your Jaylen Brown impression.

Brown's homedog. Uh, the Wiz of Oz.

Oh.

Alliance.

Lion or tiger or bear?

Oh my. Bears are I'll have a buy.

Uh, I'll take the bears. Thank you. That's allowed?

Yes.

Yes.

Wiz of Oz.

Wow.

That works.

All right.

Sits in Dan's chair.

Which is— which is great.

Says I'm asking stupid questions.

It's not a stupid question.

It is a stupid question.

I think I'm gonna take the, uh, the Steelers as a road dog against the Bengals.

Let's see.

Give me the— give me the Steelers plus three and a half.

Guys, I'm gonna call my shot. I think I'm getting the swap helmet on this one.

You better not.

I'm calling my shot here. I'm getting the swap helmet. What if I did something? I too like to live dangerously. Swap with Juju.

Don't look in that bucket.

I'm not looking. I'm looking at Juju. The Jags!

The Jags.

The Jags. I'm holding onto it.

Yeah, they're at the Titans.

Dude.

What's the last hand?

I'm on golden helmet of life. Get away from me. As a matter of fact, I will pick for David. David, you ready? This is for you.

Yes. Thank you. Go.

The Falcons.

Three-point line against the Chiefs, right?

They're plus three at home against Kansas City, David.

How? Please put it back and do better.

How?

Small line.

Right.

How?

NFL, brother.

It's kinda small.

Spooky.

Uh, you have Washington.

The Commanders.

That's tonight. You have the Commanders, a two-and-a-half-point road dog at the Giants.

I'm not despondent. It's gonna be very bad weather up here. Juju, I don't know where your weatherman comes from, but you nailed it. It is like a nor'easter here in the Northeast.

Wait.

Yes, sir.

Is it like regular rain or is it like some other type of nor'easter?

It's windy and cold and rainy and generally crappy.

Man.

And it's supposed to be a whiteout tonight at MetLife, so it's gonna be like wet with mud, and it's gonna be gross.

That stadium's a dump.

There's no mud in that stadium.

I hate that stadium.

Oh, it's a terrible.

It's so bad.

Turf stadium. There's no mud.

Terrible stadium.

No, it's from the parking lots. I don't mean the players.

The people.

What does that matter?

The people.

The fans are gonna be despondent.

The people are gonna be dirty.

Fans don't cheer as loud when they're money, Mike. You know that.

Doesn't.

Ah.

David, you have a movie review for us today. What do you got?

Can we please talk about this? Did anybody in this room watch the Dane Cook documentary?

I listened to his interview on Bad Friends about it.

So.

So I'm familiar with the story, but I— I have not watched the documentary.

Yeah, it's about like his— his brother stole from him, right?

Yeah.

Yes.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

He's Dane Cook is a comedian, and his brother was his business manager, and his brother took all his money. And it's like a movie. And the documentary called Funny Money, The Dane Cook Story, is a really in-depth explanation, and somehow Dane Cook paid the wife of his brother.

Mm-hmm.

Who is a convicted criminal who served time. He paid her to appear on the documentary. His brother would not. They haven't spoken or seen each other. And it is crazy how little attention Dane Cook paid because he thought his brother was taking care of him. Dane Cook owed millions and millions of dollars to the IRS. He had no money, and he thought he was loaded. He wanted to buy a house, and it turns out he had no nothing. And so he had to restart his career, and he had to do a bunch of shows to make money, and he paid off the IRS, and he got remarried, and basically the story is about.

Got remarried like his wife left him over this?

Yeah. Destroyed him.

No, that's— that's funny. I mean, it's just he may— maybe it's married. That wasn't even a good part of the story except she's in the documentary. The point of the story is I don't understand the concept of screwing your brother. This guy, Dane Cook's brother, had nothing. Now, I'm not saying it's bad to be a corrections officer because they're a very necessary part of our economy. However.

Hostility.

Dane Cook paid him over $150,000 a year and got to be around Dane Cook and meet all the famous people, and the brother was like, "I'm so jealous of you. I'm so angry about your life versus my life. I'm gonna steal all your money, and then I'm gonna run and not get caught." Well, he got obviously caught, sent to prison. And it reminded me like of the Kushner family. The insanity of Charlie Kushner hiring a woman to seduce his brother-in-law because he didn't want to get caught vi breaking the law and going to prison, which Charlie, of course, broke the law and went to prison.

David, the craziest part of that I heard from Dane Cook talking to Andrew Santino and Bobby Lee was that his mom early on was warning him, "Don't trust your brother." His mom was telling him, "Don't trust your brother." And he was just like, "Mom, you're you're you know, you're just being paranoid for no reason. He's my brother," right? And so, um, hearing the story, I was thinking, is that the greatest betrayal? Even greater than a spouse for a sibling to do you in like that.

Yes, sir.

That's gotta be the greatest betrayal.

Your own flesh and blood.

I think so, yeah.

I think parents doing it to their kids is so.

Yeah.

Messed up.

That's true.

It's beyond belief.

But I feel— I feel like almost so this is gonna sound weird. I almost feel like the parents delude themselves into thinking, "I'm doing what's best for the kid."

No.

Even as I'm doing to.

I'm familiar with their rationalizations.

But like what.

It's repulsive to me.

But I'm saying yeah, it's repulsive, of course, but I'm saying like with the sibling, there wasn't even a rationalization. Am I correct, David? He was robbing his brother.

But there isn't the same kind of responsibility either. It's different.

Sure.

You brought this child into the world.

Well.

Like what are you doing?

And David, the way.

And that mother, by the way, Amin, just so you know, I believe and you can fact-check me, it's his half-brother, and I believe they have different mothers.

Ah.

Or maybe different fathers.

Yeah.

But listen, I've got half-siblings who are my full siblings.

Yeah.

There's no I— I view them as such, so it doesn't make it different or better. But when the mother is saying, "Don't trust your brother."

Yes. She may not have been his mother.

I'm not sure she's saying, "Don't trust my son."

Yeah.

So we need to check on that. But in terms of parents, like what happened to Gary Coleman is an example that I've thought about for decades. It is so outrageous when parents steal from their kids, and it ruins their kids' lives, and those parents only have two nickels to rub together because of their kids. I've seen athletes' parents do it.

Yeah.

To their children who are baseball players, and it makes me sick as though they're owed something because they brought this person into the world who has this talent that can be monetized, that they ought to live right and have a house and have all the things. It just is so terrible to do to a kid that I it's worse than brother-on-brother when they're both over 21. Dane Cook had the ability to check his checking account.

You know.

He had the ability to see his tax forms.

Yeah.

And when you're 8 years old or 12, you just don't do those things.

Yeah, it's crazy. Like such a sad story. If only there was someone out there who kind of lives to hear people's sad stories and like mine it for more and more, just keep asking what the worst part of the life is. Is there anyone out there? Can someone throw a bat signal in the sky for that superhero who lives.

A fat signal.

A fat signal. There you go.

Ah. Breaking news.

Yep.

Dane Cook and his half-brother, Daryl, share the same mother. There it was. Thank you, Juju.

Thank you.

So it was her son.

Yep. And more breaking news. Dane Cook on South Beat Sessions this week with Dan Le Batard.

Ah.

The fat signal worked.

David, excellent job. Always good talking to you. Nothing personal with David Samson. We'll see you next week, pal.

Take care. Thank you, guys. Bye-bye.

I know I know Dane Cook like is one of those comedians.

Mm-hmm.

Who.

Isn't funny.

Uh, well, okay. So that that's the point that I'm trying to bring up here.

He did so well in promoting it.

I— I like Dane Cook. I think Dane Cook's really funny. And I know it's and I— I go to a lot of comedy shows. Like I'm— I'm into comedy.

Yeah. This— this tracks.

What— what does that mean?

You look like a Dane Cook guy.

Yep. I— I think he's funny.

Yeah. No, I know.

Dan.

I it's funny because I Dane Cook, like the Snyderverse, I always would watch and I'm like, "Who is this for?"

Yeah.

Who's out here liking this stuff?

You act like I'm the only one who liked the Snyderverse. Man has to still make like a billion dollars.

It's for guys who wear backwards hoodies.

Snyderverse.

It's what a what a two-liter of Coke.

Flex cap.

Two-liter.

Yeah. T-shirt.

Dan. I don't care.

They look good in red sometimes.

I've seen Dane Cook in concert a couple of times. He's funny.

Some new balances.

And I'll bet his episode with Dan on South Beat Sessions, I'll bet it's really good too.

I— I think it is.

I bet it's three.

I think the story is fascinating, right? And from.

Is the brother in prison?

I believe so, yeah.

Yeah, for sure.

Yeah. Yeah. So— so like I said, I all I've heard was his interview on Bad Friends, and it was a very fascinating story to listen to. I want to watch his documentary. I wanna watch his, uh, South Beat Sessions with Dan. What I don't wanna watch is the vicious circle of like him going, "Ugh," like all those stupid-ass things. He's not funny.

It was of a time.

Never.

Just like Cedar.

Ah. And to orgasm.

Can I just say that noise right there? Play that again.

Ah.

It makes me think of the Dwayne Wade statue. Like that's the noise it's making.

Ah.

That's some power.

Was that me?

The old one?

That— that's what the old one's making.

The old statue, yeah.

Yeah.

The old statue sounds like that.

I— I don't get this. Like we're trying to make that statue look, uh, more accurate, but he's still wearing the— the wrong jersey. It wasn't the jersey he was wearing when he did that. He was wearing an L Heat jersey.

Uh, you— you if you're gonna make a statue, it can't be an alternate jersey. You have to have the original.

What do you mean? If you're making a statue of a moment.

No.

You should accurately represent that specific moment.

It's an unfortunate coincidence.

Yeah.

Like you gotta have the real jersey.

Also, Broward County buys tickets too. You don't wanna scare him off with an L Heat jersey.

Scare him off? It's next to the Freedom Tower.

You tell me Dane Cook's not hilarious?

Ah.
