• 0:00
  Speaker 1: With Stu Gotts and Hawkman.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: This is a very special addition of with Stu Gotts
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: and Hawkman. Yes, for several reasons. First of all, it's
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: themed around a holiday.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: We have not yet done that.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Now we have our first themed around a holiday podcast.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: But you, as a radio guy, love holiday themes, don't you.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, everything into something.
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: So Mother's Day is Sunday, and really I had kind
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: of like gone through the archives. I don't really have
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: much in the way of Mother's Day, and Stu gott said, oh,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: you want to know about Mother's Day and do something special.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: There's something that happened on the Levatar Show after I
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: left that you'll get a kick out of because it's
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Stu Gotts in his greatest shape and form or worst.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, some would say, well.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I'm going to hear this for the first time. I'm
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: guessing with some of the listeners to the podcast as well.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I will tell you, you know, I always say you can
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: DM me on Instagram. It's Radio Mark Hawkman on Instagram.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: DM me your thoughts on the podcast or whatever. And
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: someone sent in a DM It said, when people message
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: you to say that they started listening to the Dan
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Lebottard Show with Stu Gotts after you left the show,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm meeting someone who has only watched
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: The Simpsons after season eight.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, what the hell?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: And there is a lot of backstory to things that
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: have happened on the show. But when I did leave
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the show, I really I see clips and stuff on
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: social media, but I haven't listened, and so this stuff
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: that I'm gonna hear, this is stuff that I think
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of Levatard Show listeners know and love that
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna hear for the first time, I asked this, seriously,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I've never asked you this before. Or was it difficult
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: for you to listen to the show that you were on, Like,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: because we talked to Geo about this he was let go,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: not Geo. He talked to Salvacata about this because he
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: was let go from WFAN and he has a hard
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: time listening to the people who replaced him on WFAN.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Do you have any of that because I haven't listened
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: to Lebitzard in a year. I mean, yeah, so when
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I left, it was still I was still on very
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: good terms with everybody. I'm just doing mornings with Zaslow.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, I was not on great terms with Dan.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: It was part of the reason that I ended up
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: going to mornings, because we were starting to have a
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: little schism, but we were on talking terms and texting terms.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm not a sports radio junkie, right, And
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: so I found it easier for myself, not that it
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: was sports radio, but I found it easier just not
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: to listen because I didn't want to get into this
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: habit of doing mornings with Zaslow. And then I would
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: hear something on the show, and then I would call
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Mike and say, hey, there's a really good sound that
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: you can find if you look at the archives. Like
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I kind of wanted to remove my self from it,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: and if you think constantly that you're part of the show,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: it's hard to do that. So I pretty much stopped listening,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: and then it was just easier to go about my
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: day without We.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: We are so similar because I do that until this day,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I would do that to any radio show.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I just listen.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I text random producers in the industry saying, hey, you
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: could have done this better.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: You know you gotta like So I used to look
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: at radio that way, and the stations that I worked at.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I would always be like, Hey, we got to do this,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: we got to do that. And I have such a
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: new attitude over the last I don't know, probably five years,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: which is I have a little kiosk in the mall.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Radio is the mall.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I worry about my kiosk. I don't give a
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: shit what's going on in Clayer's. If they're doing piercing's wrong.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck if the window display at Amber,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Crombie and Fitch is all fucked up. I got my
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: little kiosk in the mall and walk in for a cookie.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: You're gonna get a delicious cookie. This is gonna have
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: a great time, and you're gonna come back. The whole
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: mall can be burning down. I'm worried about my kiosk.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: So I'm definitely guilty of this because I text Hawk
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: all the time during his show.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: But the only time I.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Text shows on at the same time. No, it's not.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: There's Taylor text me.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I love when people text me during the show because
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: people do genuinely give good feedback, like instant feedback.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Yes see, I would text you if I weren't doing
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: my own show.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: Now there's there's an overlap of an hour on both ends.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: There they are a four hour show where a two
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: hour show. And the only time I really text Hawk
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: is when I have to call out Solana on his BS,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: because there was one recently where he was he was
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: ranting and raving about how the crew toons at Carbone
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: are to die for. I said, houck, if I went
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: to Public's right now and just bought Public branded crutons,
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you Solona would not be able to tell
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: the difference.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: I think of our phone came up on our show.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I think I was talking about the crewtons at Calaveras
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Cantina in Meisner Park, Like, which are cornbread crewtons?
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: I've had them, Yes, fucking great bread crewons.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: They had crew toons.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, figured it out, I know, so Hawk. I thought
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: it'd be fun.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: We thought it'd be fun because you're in print, by
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: the way, So when people reach out to you saying
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: they missed the first six years, like they missed some
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: of the best, you know, maybe the best five or
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: six year runner the show, Like us putting that show
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: together from scratch was some of the best radio I've
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: ever done. And I feel bad for the people who
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: missed your error. You know what I'm saying.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I'm a student of radio, and I'm not so humble
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: that I wouldn't say we had over the course of
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the eight years that I was there, we had two
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: or three years of some of the best radio that
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: has ever been put out in the nation period.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: End of story. I'm a student of radio. Listen, you
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: know when something's working.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I imagine a musician knows when a concert's working, or
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: when an album came together perfectly. And we had a
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: few years that I would put up against some of
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the top eras of radio anywhere. I'll read you a
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: couple more dms. I'm twenty seven years old. Never listened
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: to the Dan LeBatard Show. Don't even live in South Florida.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I'm a Dolphins fan that lives in California and have
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: been listening to your radio show for years now. But Man,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: this podcast you're doing with Stu Gotts, this fucking Steven
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Sigall episode has me crying. The machine gun sound made
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: me spit out my water. I love everything about it.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: So there's a person who never listened to the Dan
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: LeBatard Show but is listening to this podcast because I've
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: promoted it on the air a few times, and so
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: he's being expo to the Levotard Show for the first
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: time ever, which I think is super cool.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: There's one other one here.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, hawk loved the episodes of with Stu Gotts and Hawkman.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I was a Dan Levatard Show listener since shortly after
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the move to Meadow Lark, and I've joined team Stu
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Gotts since the split. I think it's great that you've
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: got such an archive to dwell upon, and you guys
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: do a great and funny job relaying the stories. I
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: do not come to request a segment, but instead to
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: suggest a nickname for the end of show quiz, which
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna jump ahead here and just see if you
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: can knock out this nickname, Stu Gotts, just to see
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: if you've got it today.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Paul Mollder, Oh wow, Man.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Played for the Brewers, played for the Blue Jays.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: What a world series with the Blue Jays. I'm not
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: going to know this one.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: This is I was unaware of this as well.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's too boring to have a nickname, Paul Mollander.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: He was a great player, but boring.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, well, I.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Don't know how because he's boring. His nickname is the
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: igniter really.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: A good nickname for boring guy.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, the guy stumped you there? That was good.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Well, he could ignite many many beginnings, you know, that's
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: what he did. Yes.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: By the way, before we get to your mother's day
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: reservations here which I haven't heard right, If you're looking
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: for a good mother's day spot, Buddha from Burton Max's
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: has been a very good sponsor since the inception of
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: our podcast here. Burton max Is in Delray Beach, West
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Delray is a perfect spot Sunday for Mother's Day. It'll
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: be crowded for sure, but there's going to be room
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: for you if you're looking for a good spot for
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the family and for mom. And they have a great
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: food at Burton Max's and you can get that Aperol
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Sprits there, which for me is a mother's day must,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, the time of your life.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Burton max Is in Delray Beach.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: I was just there over the weekend with my wife
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: and with my dad at fantastic spot.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Really a great spot.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: It is a great mother's day spot because there's so
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: much around there.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: You can just kind of walk around with mom.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Sit down, have a drink, and then get yourself some
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: dinner and just ask for Buddha. Tell them we sent you.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I wanted to use a gift card, but I went
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: with my dad. But I told Buddha, you hogged them all.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: I mean that.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I need some new ones, Buddha. I think I'm ready
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: for a refresh.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: All right, So, speaking of restaurants, Hawk, after you left
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: the show, your imprint is all over the show at
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: this point, okay, And it continues to be all over
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: the radio show for at least as long as I
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: was doing it, and perhaps I'll do it again sometime
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: we'll sit.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: But your imprint is all over the show.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: And so we're always trying to think of funny, clever,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: different ideas. Doesn't necessarily have to be sports. And I'm
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: telling Leviatory now, I know Taylor wanted to bring a
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: conversation that we recently had in an elevator at the
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: radio station and somehow tie it to these reservations. I'm
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: not exactly sure he was thinking there, because I don't
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: see the tie in. So let's go to Taylor first
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: before I introduces a recurrent radio station that yeah, yeah,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: we had, we had some sort of thing conversation inside
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: an elevator with a lady who had shingles.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: Taylor, go ahead, Yeah, that was more to just show
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: that Stu Gotts is a first ballot GAB Hall of Famer.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, how can you strike me as somebody?
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: If you get in an elevator with somebody, you're gonna
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: you're gonna strike up a conversation.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I might be that guy. Yeah, I am that guy.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: You are that you might be that guy. I learned
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: it from you.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I'm the I'm the can I carry your bags for you?
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Guy?
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I'm so overly like gross and helpful.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Yes to the old, yes to the elderly, but not.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Even like I literally because we'll walk around Delray Beach
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: speaking of Buddha, and we'll walk around Delray Beach a lot.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: My wife and I are downtown Boca.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I am always on the prowl for groups who are
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: trying to take a photo of themselves. That's my superpower.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I sweep in like a superhero. Would you like a picture.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Of all of you? Yes, that's right.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Oh I do that even if people aren't taking a
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: picture and I just see they're having a nice lunch together.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Would you guys like a picture of all of you, Taylor.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: He's not kidding, you know.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: They sit there, they say, Hey, don't you wish our
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: some was like that? Don't you wish we had a
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: grandson like him. That's what he does. That's what he's
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: going for. By the way, he wants to make their
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: sons look terrible.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: I mean it's great, but if somebody says, how are
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: you doing, what you can't do is bring something negative
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: from your life to a stranger. We get in this
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: elevator and two older women. Stu gott says, how are
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: you How are you two doing? One looks at Stu
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: Gottson goes not good. Just found out I may have
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: shingles in my eye.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: M h.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: Steve gotts looks back at her and he goes, well
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: you may not too.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: A positive sign, I mean, a great response.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Thank you. That literally is the Ape plus response.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Then I held the elevator door for her, I held
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: every door for her, and I said, hey, hang in there,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: you know, close your eyes, let me walk you to
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: where you're going. Taylor brings that up because of my
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: ability just to be chummy on the fly and respond
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: on the fly and be very quick, and so I
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: was telling Dan that there were times Hockey after you
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: left where I would get pulled over on my way
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: down to do the radio show, and I would use
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Lebotard's name to get out of tickets, because the cops
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: down in Miami they loved LeBatard. They knew that name,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: and I would use his name to get out of tickets.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: But I also told him the other spot where I
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: used his name was to help me get into, you know,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: very expensive and very popular restaurants.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: He was unaware of this.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: But if I called Joe's and I need to drop
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: a LeBatard and I need a table of Ford eight
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: o'clock on Valentine's Day, if I have to, if I
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: feel like I need to, I will drop Dan's name
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: because Dan's name carries weight in Miami, certainly on South Beach.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: You would agree with, By the way, Yeah, to me
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: use everything in your arsenal, everybody else does.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Yes, Yes, I got to have a.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Governor on my arsenal when it's in my arsenal.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: So I told Dan that I make restaurant reservations and
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: they're very important to me, and getting the right time
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: and the amount of people and all that stuff. The
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: time is really important. You got to sit prime time
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: at a big time restaurant. And so I told Lebatar
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: that I would do whatever I have to do. When
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I'm on the phone with someone trying to get a
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: dinner reservation, I will drop any name I need to drop.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: I don't care whose it is. And Dan said, you're gross,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: but I'd like to hear it all radio. And so
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: from there, Me, Mike and Billy Hacks the idea that
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: during busy times of the year for these restaurants, Mother's Day,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Valentine's Day, we would go to certain cities and find
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: the most popular spots in those cities and make a
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: last minute reservation.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: This is Mother's bit.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: By the way, speaking is like a longtime fan of
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: radio and longtime producer for the DLS experience. This is
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: a great bit because this is your wheelhouse. I mean,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: you're getting to showcase your skills. This is like asking
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Vince Carter to put on a dunking display. You know
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: what I mean, Like you are showcasing your skills.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, this is me doing a windmill dunk. So the
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: first we have two for you, Hawk. I think you're
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: going to enjoy these. The first one Taylor, Where which
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: reservation did you choose?
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Here from mother's death.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: The first call is going to come from Cookshop on
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: Tenth Avenue in New York City.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, so real quick before we play it, Mike, Alison

• 24:09
  Speaker 2: but a master class. That's the most popular restaurant getting

• 25:24
  Speaker 5: out over the air so hot.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: They agreed to let us air it. They didn't want
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: their names or the name of the restaurant to be
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: promoted right in the reservation.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: Yes, but it's a high established restaurant in Boston.

• 34:01
  Speaker 2: He is unapologetically selfish, but you don't mind it for

• 34:11
  Speaker 2: a favor with his selfishness.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: It's really a remarkable gift you have.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm getting emotional, thank you guys.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: That's uh, because like, will you still use Dan's name
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: you get pulled over in Miami?
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Will you use Dan's name?
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, I haven't been in Miami since I since
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: the last show.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: If I do, but if I do get pulled over
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: in Miami, I will most certainly use Levitard's.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Name because I haven't now, I haven't spoken with Dan himself.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: He and I like via text or spoken. I don't
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: think in six years.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: And I haven't been part of the show for fifteen years, probably, well,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: no longer than that may, yeah, because I'm doing I'm
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: in my thirteenth year doing Afternoon Drive and I did
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: it quite a year between mornings now about Yeah, So
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: I haven't been on the show and probably in fifteen years.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: But I think I had texted you. You know, my
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: son's graduating from college and I'm going with him and
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: some of his roommates and the dad's up to Vegas,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: and I was gonna take him to the Carrot Top
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: concert because Carrot Top's funny. Yes, And I'm at tempted
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: to drop Dan's name in some sort of email to
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Carrot Top, even though if it got back to Dan,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: he would say, no, absolutely, do not give him the tickets,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: and I managed it would get back to Dan, but
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: I'd kind of like to get the tickets comped. It's
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: a good show, but why why pay for tickets when
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: you can get free ones?
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: So I will tell you this, I think me and
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Carrot Top have arrived at a place where you could
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: drop my name instead of love. It's hard, because you're right,
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: it's going to get back to Dan he's going to
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: say no, Although I would like.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: To see that happen, right, because like, what would I say? Hey?
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Because I went to see him with Dan? I went
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: to see him. I was in Vegas with Dan.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: We went to see Carrot Top and then we went
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: with Carrot Top to a Guns and Roses concert.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Who didn't, right, So I'd like to bring that up.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: You know, Hey, CT, I think it's friends call him CT, Hey, CD,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: I'm coming in. I don't know if you remember, But

• 36:26
  Speaker 2: time we went to Guns and Roses together?
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: I would say. Here's what I would say.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: I was Dan's original producer, one of his best friends
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: in college.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: I moved on started a different show.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Do I even mention that I started a different show?
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Or do I just make it sound like I'm still
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: on Dan's show.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Oh that's a good point, all right, Yeah, because carrots
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Top wote no. I mean we just saw him in
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: Vegas for the super Bowl.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: We did a live show. He was there with us,
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: We had some guests on stage with us. He won't remember.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: Just say yes, I'm still Dan's executive producers. Yeah, and
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: I need some tickets. Yes, try then, and if it
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: gets back to Dan and Dan says no, then use
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: my name. I will tell you this.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: I've already reached out to someone, not caira top directly,
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: but someone with his team, a marketing team, and I
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: asked for tickets on your behalf and I signed it.
