• 0:42
  Speaker 5: is what you're saying.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Exactly.
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, Taylor is still bored. It's a very rainy day.
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: Current topics, right?
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: It's a very rainy day in Boca as we record this.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: And Stu got said to me, I'd like to go
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: back to sleep right now because it's so gloomy and
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: rainy out.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Can you nap?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: We had this conversation on the radio show a couple
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: of days ago. You know, my mother was just this
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: woman who, um, she didn't believe in napping. She didn't
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: believe in buying a Crowder and Solano were tickled by it.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Like she just, you know, you know, A mother can
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: ruin you for the rest of your life.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: She was of the belief fat and lazy people buy
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: a candy bar at, say, a gas station if you're
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: checking out or whatever.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: So I've never been able to do that. I just
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: can't do that. And I also cannot nap. Because she
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: thought napping was for fat and lazy people. And that
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: wasn't allowed in our house.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: She'll sleep when she's dead. She's that kind of person.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: She is dead.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: And she's been sleeping now for several years. Imagine her
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: saying that to you. Like, hey, I'll sleep when I'm dead.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: When my father was dying of pancreatic cancer and he was,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, just dead tired.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: No pun.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Um, she wouldn't let him nap still. Well, no, Lyle con.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: If you nap, then your, your body's not fighting off
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: the pancreatic cancer. She just, she had her own ideas
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: and I, I have, so I would not even be
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: able to nap today, even though today's a perfect nap day.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Could you nap?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I could probably nap. I am fascinated by her.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Not allowing her dad to sleep when he has cancer.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, and then she was dying of lung cancer
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: and she wouldn't. I mean, if it was bedtime, she'd
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: go to sleep. If not, you got to be out
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: and active and moving around.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: I got to tell her she's tougher than everyone on
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: the Dolphins. I mean, she was a badass.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I couldn't have.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: Could I fall asleep right now? I probably could. I
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: don't know if you enjoy this on YouTube going to sleep.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: I now like sound like rain. Okay. I listen to
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: YouTube Zen going to bed just about every night. It's fantastic.
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like sounds when I'm going to bed.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I like silence. You like the TV on?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: No. No.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: No?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: TV goes off. What about you, Taylor? Can you nap?
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: I can fall asleep anywhere, anytime.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Airplane?
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: Airplane, yeah.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Especially during this show. It's in Zen.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: His YouTube Zen channel is this podcast.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: He just puts an episode of us on. I can't
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: sleep on an airplane. Can't do it. Oh, I could
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: sleep on it. Yes, easily. Easily. On an airplane? Of course.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I can't do it. I'll even take an Ambien. You know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: if it's an overseas flight, still can't sleep.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: So listen, so you sleep, you wake up, you put
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: your day in, you go to sleep when it's time
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: to go to bed, just like she taught you. That's
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: how a mother can dement a child for the rest
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: of his life. Speaking of death, let's get to the
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: first part of today's podcast.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I got this direct message on Instagram.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Hey, Hawk, I'm a huge fan of the show. I've
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: been listening since the beginning at 790. My uncle was
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: actually the one who introduced me to the show, and
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: it became something we bonded over. Unfortunately, he's no longer
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: with us, and his birthday just recently passed. His absolute
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: favorite segment was Leroy Jenkins. It would honestly mean a
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: lot to me if you guys could bring back a
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Leroy Jenkins clip or two in his honor. I'm still
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: a huge fan of you, Stu and Dan. Listen to
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: each of your shows every day. Thank you guys for
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: all the years of entertainment and for being a part
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: of so many good memories with my uncle and getting
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: me through the dark times. I really appreciate everything you
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: guys do.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Very nice.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Always nice to hear that.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: We've inconvenienced a lot of listeners by splitting up and
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: doing three separate shows.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: And now we're talking about doing an I Mean podcast.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, what are we going to do? Here is
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the Leroy Jenkins bit.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: So just to give you a little context, this was
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: the early, early.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Days of the Levitard show.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: And As evidenced by Dan, when he starts here, he
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: talks about me, Andy, and Joe laughing in the other
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: side of the studio. Joe was a board op of
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: ours for maybe a month or two. I don't even
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: remember his last name. Andy King was my original... associate
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: producer after he was the original executive producer and then
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: i took over but then he left to do sid's
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: show and that's when mike ryan came on so this
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: is early early.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Days wow this is very early yes the.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Show and uh and we're watching a youtube video back
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: there and youtube by the way in 2004 when this
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: show started when the dan lebitard show started YouTube wasn't
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: like as ubiquitous as it is now. So Dan sees
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: me and Andy and Joe, like we're gathered around a
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: monitor and we're cracking up at something.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: He wants to know what it is.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Aha.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: This is probably one of the first things since you
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: mentioned YouTube and it's Leroy Jenkins that kind of went
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: viral on YouTube.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Correct. Yep.
• 6:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: A hundred percent. A hundred percent. So here's how it
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: played out on the air.
• 6:29
  Speaker 10: Andy and Hawk and Joe and Mike. are pulling the
• 6:34
  Speaker 10: puppet strings on this extravaganza. They've been laughing in the
• 6:39
  Speaker 10: back throughout the entirety of the show, and it's not
• 6:41
  Speaker 10: because of anything that we're saying.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sure.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: What are you guys doing back there, Hawk?
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: So you've seen these virtual PC games, you know, where
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: people sit in front of their computers, they put headphones
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: on that have a little microphone attached, and they live
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: in these virtual worlds.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: You familiar with this? Yes, uh-huh.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Okay, so there's Doom and a whole bunch of different games,
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: and literally draws millions and millions of online players. I
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: find this much sadder than a strip club, like a
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: strip club happy, online game playing sad to me.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: So on YouTube, there's an online game.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know what the game is, but these friends
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: have gotten together, and you'll hear them talking through their headphones,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: and they're talking to each other. One's probably sitting in California,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: the other's in Florida, and they're talking about attacking.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Whatever wizard or warrior... They're going after.
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: And you can tell they've been planning this attack for
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: months and months and months.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Like you'll even hear him saying there, Bob, can we
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: get a ratio breakdown on that? And he's like, you know, click, click, click, click. Yeah,
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: we've got a 33 percent survival possibility. And he's like,
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: all right, well, that's better than we've had before. Like
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: they're they are stoked to get in there and do
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: this attack.
• 7:56
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: And one of their friends, apparently a guy named Leroy Jenkins,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: is sleeping through this entire conversation.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: And when you're watching it on YouTube, like you could
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: see his icon.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: All the other icons are moving because they're talking and
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: he's just sitting there quiet.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: And they're in the middle of, all right, let's get
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: it together. We're going to go in. And all of
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: a sudden.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Leroy wakes up. yells out Leroy Jenkins.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: He yells out his own name.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: And just attacks the Warriors before they're all ready.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: And they're like, what's going on?
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: What's going on?
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: We got to stop them, stop them. But you can
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: hear the audio of all this happening. Like you'll hear
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: them planning the attack.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Then Leroy comes out of nowhere, shouts his own name
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: and starts attacking, throws off their plan.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: And then they're all thrown into chaos.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, guys.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: These eggs have given us a lot of trouble in
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: the past. I'll run in first, gather up all the
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: eggs so we can kind of just blast them all
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: down with AoE. I will use Intimidating Shout to kind
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: of scatter them so we don't have to fight a
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: whole bunch of them at once. We're going to need
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: Divine Intervention on our mages so we can, of course,
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: get them down fast because we're bringing all these guys.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: I mean, we'll be in trouble if we don't take
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: them down quick. I think it's a pretty good plan.
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: We should be able to pull it off this time.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: What do you think, Abdul? Can you give me a
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: number crunch real quick?
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, give me a sec.
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: I'm coming up with 32.33, repeating, of course, percentage of survival.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: That's a lot better than we usually do.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: All right, chums, I'm ready, guys.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: Let's do this. Leroy Larkin!
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, he just ran in. Save him.
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: Oh jeez, stick to the plane.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Oh jeez. Let's go, let's go. Stick to the plane, chums.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Stick to the plane. Oh jeez, oh.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: F * * *.
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: I can't move.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Am I lagging?
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: I can't move. What the hell?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: Damn it, Leroy.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Damn it.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Leroy, you moron.
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: It's not my fault.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: He shouted his own name.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: Is he a black guy?
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: He's an anarchist.
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: K-Rod just wandered through here and says that they've been
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: making every time they talk about Antoine Walker, they fire off.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Leroy's name during his show. Because Antoine doesn't listen to anybody. Antoine!
• 10:18
  Speaker 10: You can totally picture Pat Riley screaming, Antoine! So they're
• 10:28
  Speaker 10: planning the attack and he just shouts his own name?
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: You can tell how seriously they're taking it.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Stick to the plan!
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Stick to the plan!
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: They mortify him.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: That is such an iconic moment from the Levitard show.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: And it's such a great look back in time, too,
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: because when I'm explaining it to you and Dan, I
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: talk about how the Leroy Jenkins icon isn't moving. which
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: nowadays everyone knows is an avatar. Back then, it was
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: a foreign language to me.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Icon.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: And none of you guys called me out on it
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: because all of you guys thought it was an icon
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: But I was like, ooh, Icon. That would be an
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: avatar 20 years later.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: I've listened to that sound so many times before, and
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: that was the first time I've listened and actually heard
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Leroy say, it's.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Not my fault. Which is the best thing. It is
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: such a great reaction.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: He knows he fucked the whole thing up and he's like,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: it's not my fault.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: One of the people in there, and I noticed this
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: for the first time as well, they are laughing because
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: they know.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: How hysterical it is. You hear the guy kind of
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: on the verge of laughter.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: They know they got rug pulled before being rug pulled
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: was a thing. They got rug pulled by some rando
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: guy named Leroy Jenkins who.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Waited through all these rehearsals just to do that. And
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: there really was there was like no virality back then.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: So Leroy Jenkins, whoever he was, was just doing this
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: for his friends. I'm sure he was screen recording it
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: and he was just going to show his friends like
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: it wasn't like everybody does everything nowadays to go viral.
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: That wasn't a mindset back then. Like that was just
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: to entertain his friends.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I'm sure. Yes.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: When Leroy did that, he had no idea he was
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: about to go viral. Correct. I mean, we didn't know
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: what it was.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: 22 years later, someone would still be talking about him
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: on a podcast, which didn't exist, I don't think, podcasts.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: But this is interesting.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: So as the Levitard show became more mature, we would
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: take a moment like that. It would become viral within
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: our own show, right? We would make big opens like
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: it would just become viral on our show for a
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: month or so. This was so early on that it
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: didn't necessarily become viral. We played the sounds over and over,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: but we tried a couple of things to capture that magic.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: This one, I think, is a swing and a miss.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: It probably only aired once. I'm imagining anyone listening right
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: now is not going to remember this, but I tried
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: to do a bit.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Where this was the cam Cameron one in 15 dolphin season.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: Cam Cameron was a punchline at this point because he
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: was terrible head coach. Um, and so I tried to
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: create a Leroy Jenkins bit. where cam cameron is about
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: to go out and do his weekly media session with
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: the dolphins media and dolphins brass has kind of pulled
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: him aside to say hey let's approach this in you
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: know kind of a a manner that is not going
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: to become laughing stock for all the dolphins fans writers
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: and cam cameron just does kind of his own leroy
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: jenkins this is the bit.
• 13:49
  Speaker 12: Okay guys the uh The media has given us a
• 13:52
  Speaker 12: lot of trouble in the past. I'll go in first
• 13:56
  Speaker 12: and gather up all their attention and we can just
• 13:58
  Speaker 12: kind of blast down their guard. I might use an
• 14:02
  Speaker 12: intimidating line to scatter them all so you don't have
• 14:04
  Speaker 12: to answer to them all.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: At once, Cam. It's a pretty good plan. We should
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: be able to pull it off this time. What do
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: you think, Brian? Can you give me a number crunch
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: real quick?
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Give me a sec. I'm up to about 32 reporters.
• 14:20
  Speaker 12: All right, well, that's a lot more than we usually have.
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: All right, guys, let's do this. Cam, Cameron.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God, he just went in. Save him. Let's go,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: let's go.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Stick to the plan.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, geez, oh, God. What the hell? Damn it, Cam.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Cam, you moron.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Not my fault. Cam, you're just stupid as hell.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: At least I have lemon.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: Which is a Cleo Lemon reference there at the end.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: So in that scenario, you're Harvey Green.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: Are you asking Brian Weidmeier?
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, he was the president of the team.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: It was very, very well done by you. Yes, it
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: was Harvey Green and Brian Weidmeier trying to keep things
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: under control.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: The voices on that, I believe.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Brian Weidmeier is played by the late Dave Starr.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Our old production director.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: And I believe Cam Cameron is played by Joe the
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Board Hop.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Whose name I can't remember. The last name I can't remember.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: What is Joe's last name?
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: You knew we kept it real with the actual names
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: of those who might gather around Cam Cameron and try
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: to protect him from a voracious media attack. But I
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: love it that bit that you have Brian Weidmeier, who
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: again was the president of the Dolphins, being responsible for
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: knowing how many media members were there to talk to Cam.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: He's like, damn it, Cam. It's not my fault.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: And this is one other thing that I found, and
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: this is obviously a very sensitive subject matter. Tim Hardaway
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: had been on the show recently, and I believe the
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: line was, I dislike gay people.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Is that what he said? I hate gay people. I
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: think he said, I hate gay people or I don't
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: like gay people. Something.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: I think that was probably our most viral moment at
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: the beginning of the show. The Tim Hardaway thing. I
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: remember when Tim Hardaway did that showing up to the
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: radio station the next day and there were live trucks
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: in the parking lot news, live trucks. I remember the
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: moment that it happened and, Someone called me on the hotline,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: a local reporter, and said, can we get that audio?
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: And if you fast forward a few days, Oprah Winfrey's
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: talking about it. And I believe Tim Hardaway ended up
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: going on the Oprah Winfrey show to talk about that
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: and what had transpired on the show.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Not even a few days.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: I remember after the show, Dan was nauseous in the
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: parking lot.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Both of us were.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: Because we couldn't, you know, Dan tried to throw him
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: a lifeline a couple of times. Hardaway wouldn't take it.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: We couldn't believe that Hardaway had said that or felt
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: that way. And we also knew what was going to
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: happen to Tim Hardaway, his local businesses down here in
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: South Florida. And so we were disappointed in Hardaway for
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: saying it, upset because we knew what was going to
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: happen to Tim. But I get home that day and
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: I tell my wife about it. And for whatever reason,
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: she says, yeah, you know, we'll probably have a lot
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: of traction down here, but nationally it won't. And the
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: next morning we wake up and the clip of the
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: show is being played on the Today Show. And it's
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: Matt Lauer and Katie Couric talking about it.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: And then he's on Oprah. A day later. And so
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: it was, yeah, it was massive news.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: It really was.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: And in many ways, put our show on the map
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: in a national way. That's not the way we wanted it.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: Not the way we intended. But for whatever reason, it
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: was splashed all over national TV.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: I know people like to think that you're waiting for
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: a moment like that when you're doing a radio show
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: or a podcast or whatever. And all of us were like,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Heartbroken when he said it and then didn't take Dan's lifeline.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, Dan really tried to pull him out of that.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Tim Hardaway has successfully rehabilitated his image. He has admitted
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: a number of times he was. speaking from a place
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: with no knowledge and didn't mean what he said. And
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: now we get Tim Hardaway Jr. on the heat this season,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: which means we'll see Tim Hardaway a lot around the
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: arena during the heat season. But that brings me to
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: this clip of limited fake Leroy Jenkins, Tim Hardaway calling
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: into the show.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, geez. Chris, you're on 790.
• 18:51
  Speaker 13: All right, we're back in the.
• 18:52
  Speaker 14: Dan Levitard Show. And, Stu, do you have any statistics
• 18:55
  Speaker 14: for the show? Yeah, Dan, right now there's about 32.3
• 18:59
  Speaker 14: people listening to the show. Well, that's a lot better
• 19:01
  Speaker 14: than we usually do. And we're going to go ahead
• 19:04
  Speaker 14: with Tim Hardaway. Let's stick to the game plan. We
• 19:07
  Speaker 14: don't want any SEC violations. Let's do this. I hate me, folks!
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: What a call.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, because you can even hear you and Dan
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: don't really want to laugh after the call.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I don't even want to laugh now. It's 22 years later.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: I feel uncomfortable laughing at that now. Taylor's just rubbing
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: his head because he doesn't want to laugh at it either.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: It's 22 years later. but that call was perfect. I
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: need to hear it again. Play it again. Chris, you're
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: on 790.
• 20:00
  Speaker 13: All right, we're back in.
• 20:01
  Speaker 14: The Dan Levitard Show, and Stu Gatz, do you have
• 20:03
  Speaker 14: any statistics for the show? Yeah, Dan, right now there's
• 20:07
  Speaker 14: about 32.3 people listening to the show. Well, that's a
• 20:10
  Speaker 14: lot better than we usually do, and we're going to
• 20:13
  Speaker 14: go ahead with Tim Hardaway. Let's stick to the game plan.
• 20:16
  Speaker 14: We don't want any SEC violations.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Let's do this.
• 20:20
  Speaker 14: I hate me, folks!
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: That was so well done. I think we turned our
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: mics off. That was so well done.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, God bless the callers because that was really
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: well done.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: The callers really understood the show. They really, they just,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: they understood it. They did to their credit.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: There's something you want to hear on this podcast. I
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: always tell you, you can DM me on Instagram. It's radio,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Mark Hockman on Instagram. That's why we played Leroy Jenkins
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: because that person had DM me and said, it reminds
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: him of his late uncle.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: We all got a good laugh out of it.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: And hopefully, uh, you podcaster were a podcast listener. We're listening,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: got a, uh, a chuckle out of it as well.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Here's a DM. I got Hawk first time, long time.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: I'm very behind on the podcast, but I'm listening to
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: you and Stu gots. Talk about meatloaf, lazy dog in
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Boca Raton. Some of the best meatloaf. Give it a try.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: So there you go.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Meet you there.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Just wanted to share that with you. Have you been
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: to lazy dog? It's at the mall.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: Well, I know you've been there because you love them all.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: I haven't been there.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Is it good? I don't think I've ever actually eaten there,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: but I don't know. Well, have you seen it? Like,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: have you seen it?
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: Does it look like a place that would have good meatloaf?
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: Because I'm very specific to where I.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: You know, it doesn't. Yeah. Somebody DMs us.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Hey, I just saw a Ron McGill commercial for a
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: political candidate, and it got me thinking. Did the Levitard
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: show kind of make him a big figure in South Florida,
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: or was he always influential and I just didn't know
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: about him?
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: As always, keep up the great work.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: I think we talked about this once because we did
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: a McGill pod, but Ron McGill came to the Levitard
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: show because of Mike Ryan.
• 22:21
  Speaker 14: So.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I was the executive producer. Mike was the associate producer.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: There was the, I think it was the chimpanzee, uh,
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: face lady face incident. And we were talking about it.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: And Mike said to me, I have the perfect guest.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: It's Ron McGill. And I guess anyone who had grown
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: up down here would do field trips to zoo Miami.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: I think it was called Metro zoo back then, but
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: they knew Ron McGill and Ron McGill would do a
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: lot of local TV shows as an animal expert. Uh,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: I had never heard of him, and I tried to
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: talk Mike out of having this guy on. I'm like,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: this is going to be a boring zoo guy, and
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: no one's going to want to hear from this guy.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: It's going to fall flat. And Mike was insistent. He's like,
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you, you are going to fall in love
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: with this guy. So Dan and Stu got certainly excited.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: rose Ron McGill's profile to a level that was much
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: higher than it was, but he was well known in
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: South Florida. I think his profile grew nationally when you
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: guys started having him on the ESPN national show.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: And I'm thankful to Mike for kind of staying strident.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: On Ron McGill. Like he was pushing you.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: I remember that at Ron McGill is as beloved the
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: figure as that surrounds our show as anyone.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, he really is.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: The audience absolutely loved him. They still love him. He
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: didn't pass away. He was one of our great guests. And, yes,
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: he was doing Paul and Ron before he was doing
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: us on a weekly basis. He was doing some local TV,
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: and he was on Good Morning America. But certainly, and
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: I never heard of him, but when we went to ESPN,
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: and ESPN fought us on the segment. I've told you
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: the story before. They did not want Ron on a
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: weekly bit. We're on ESPN. We were supposed to be
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: talking sports, not animals, not supposed to have a zoo expert.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: And they wanted us to do away with the segment.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: And Dan and I said, we're not doing away with
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: this segment. We're going to do this segment. And then
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: two days later, he was on SportsCenter. Breaking down a rabbit,
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: hopping across a field.
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: Huck, I was introduced to the show when they were
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: already on ESPN. And I remember I was sitting in
• 24:38
  Speaker 8: a cube and they were like, Ron McGill coming up next.
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: And I grew up a Carolina fan and they had
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: a running back in the early 2000s named Ronnie McGill.
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: And I was like, why are they talking to this
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: random Carolina running back?
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Strange career turn.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: And then all of a sudden you're listening and you're like,
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: that armadillo can kill you.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: What's going on here? Um, I would say Hawk, you
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: would agree.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: He would be on the Mount Rushmore of like ancillary
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: regular parts of the show. Uh, but I would say
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: it's like him, Cody, Frank Caliendo, people like that.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: That's a great Mount Rushmore.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: I'm going to, I'm going to work on that for
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: the next.
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: The next episode, because that's really tough to do because
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: over the course of time, just the eight, nine years
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: that I was there. And then you guys had many
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: more years after me. Um, To do the Mount Rushmore
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: of regular Levitard show guests. I'm putting that down as
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: a no. I think Kirch and Gene could be in there.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, Kirch and Mort. What about Mort?
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Mort could be in there. Taylor said Kirch and Mean Gene.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, they're so Alan Thicke. There are so many people, man.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: It's Bob Saget. Crazy. Super Dave.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, Super Dave.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: He was so good.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: Super Dave spoke to my mom on her birthday, man.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: She was such a big fan. He actually called her.
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: They spoke for like 15 minutes.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Crazy.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Somebody DMS.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: I love the pod with you and Stu would love
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: to hear your best Billy Gill stories. I don't really
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: have any Billy Gill was like, Around when I was there,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: but I don't even think he may have been an
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: intern for a brief moment of time. Like I knew Billy,
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: but I never really worked with him. I'm friendly with
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Billy now. Like I can text him, but I don't,
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: I don't have any Billy Gill stories because I really
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: didn't work with him.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, we'll tease this for the audience.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: I will come up with my top three Billy Gill
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: stories of all time, and we will do an entire
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: episode on him.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: He deserves an entire episode.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: He was a big part of my career, my life,
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: our show, and what made our show so special and unique.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: And one that comes to mind is, you were not
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: there for this, is when Dan sent them out to
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: Marlins Park for opening day.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: I remember that. I remember hearing that, right? That was
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: the first pitch ding-dong.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Of the Jeter area moment.
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: It's a great, but there are several of them and
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: I will do, I'll do a top five.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Somebody, uh, DMS us.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, uh, loving the Stu gots and Hawk pod
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: as a current fat guy and former competitive swimmer. I'm
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: trying to get back in shape and I've started swimming
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: laps again. I listened to the pod in my waterproof
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: headphones while swimming and The longer episodes are just about
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: the perfect length for my workout. At the end of
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: the most recent ep, and this was a few episodes ago,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: you said Stu had to get three Australian sports nicknames.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: And I thought to myself, the torpedo is obvious. And
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: then realized that was decidedly too niche. When you actually
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: threw out the name and Stugatz got it right, I
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: nearly drowned from laughing. I also violently sneeze when I
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: swim laps.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: It's a great direct message. I know, but a violent
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: sneeze while you're swimming. I mean, that's tough.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Speaking of violent sneezers, I'm wearing my I don't know
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: if they even because Taylor cuts down the video, but
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: I'm wearing my Sam Sneed, my God shirt. Love it,
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: which is available at horse muffins dot com.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I can let the cat out
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: of the bag, but Stugatz may have some merch himself.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: But I was bringing that up because I had a DM.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Hold on. Oh, hey, Hawk, still enjoying the show. And
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: I love the Lombardo episode.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: I showed it to my lady friend and then the
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: website with the T-shirt. I can say I am now
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: a proud owner of a Sam Sneed, my God shirt. Yeah,
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: we were going to dinner and she asked if I
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: would wear it. And I did. She loves it. And
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: now we'll say Lombardo every now and then on another note.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: When I started listening to the show, I would hear
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Stugat saying, any well, and I started to incorporate it
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: into my vocabulary. The look on people's faces when I
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: say it is pure confusion. They'll ask if I knew
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: what I said, and I would say yes, but then
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: I don't explain where it came from.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Did you say any well on the radio all the time?
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: Well, I was trying to say anyway once, and it
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: turned out it came out any well.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Taylor.
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: I think any well became a staple during the sports whisper,
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: like when he was trying to transition thought to thought,
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: he would just go any well.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: Yes, which is another episode. I'm glad we're talking these out.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: So we have a top five Billy moment episode we
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: need to do. We have a Mount Rushmore of ancillary
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: figures on the show. We have to introduce Octaler to
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: the Sports Whisperer because I'm pretty certain he was not
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: around for that.
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: Hawk, the guy who calls his partner his lady friend,
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: douche or no douche?
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, douche.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Because I hesitate even to read it that way. But
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: my lady friend. Like, what are we doing here?
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Guy friend.

  Speaker 14: Right.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah. Like, what are we doing here? Let's not
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: criticize him. We love you.
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: No, I am actually going to start introducing my wife
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: as my lady friend. I just want to see her reaction.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: I'd like to know how long it takes him to swim.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: A program or all our episodes.
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: To the length of his swim.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: My lady friend.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: I want to get back to that DM in a
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: second because he had a request, but there's another DM.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Speaking of the shirt, so that guy bought a Sam
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Snead shirt. My son has the shirt store, and I
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: would appreciate anyone who enjoys this podcast buying a shirt
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: at horsemuffins.com. Somebody DMS, because again, Stu gots may have
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: some merch coming up.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: I don't want to let the cat out of the bag.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Cats used to be currency. If you used to listen
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: to this show, but.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: I don't want to let the cat out of the bag,
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: but first and foremost, this guy writes, thank you for
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: all the podcasts. And for you and Stu gots reliving
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: the old DLS memories living in Nebraska. I only started
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: listening about eight years ago and I missed all the
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: old content. This shit is so funny and it reminds
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: me that laughing out loud is necessary for your soul.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: I even have a few pods saved that I can
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: listen to once a month and still cry laughing, which
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: brings me to the point of this.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I'm eagerly awaiting.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: My Sam Snead, my God t-shirt and was relistening to
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: the big man on campus lacrosse episode. And you thought
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: and thought, you know, what would be a great shirt
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: or clock that That's a guy who gets the show.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: How about a BMOC lacrosse shirt?
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: It could be like a brand, the exclusive gear of
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Clark Kellogg University lacrosse team. It could have Stugatz in
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: a goalie helmet with a goalie stick with no strings.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: And then he writes, me thinks 0 and 11. He
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: wasn't stopping much. By the way, Taylor, what do you
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: think of the person who says me thinks instead of
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: I think?
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: It sounds like shivers down my body. That's how uncomfortable
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: it makes me.
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: So DM podcast listener, me thinks Taylor doesn't like you
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: using me thinks in your.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: He thinks that's a good idea for a t-shirt though.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: I gotta be honest.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: He says it could just.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: Have a couple of sticks and a quote magic did
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: it for a game.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: I did it for an entire season. Okay. Yeah.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: That's a great shirt yes uh hawk keeps hinting about
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: a merch store for me uh the idea was so
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: good by mark and his son to do this uh
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: that i decided to get rachel uh to do the
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: same so i connected rachel with dj uh i'm certain
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: she hasn't reached out to him yet but she's getting

• 33:17
  Speaker 3: I was trying to let him know, hey, this chick's
• 33:19

• 33:25
  Speaker 3: I ever made was not marrying into money. No, DJ,

• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Methinks you might have a chance, DJ. What a wedding

  Speaker 2: that would be. Can you imagine? Taylor's at the wedding.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: You and I are giving speeches.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: Methinks back to the time when they first met and
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: DJ was looking for a lady friend and Taylor just
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: walking out of the wedding.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: He's so bored.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so bored.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Anyway, back to the original email.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Where he says, I showed the same sneed shirt to
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: my lady friend. He compliments the shirts. And then he says,
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: was there a big open with people hanging up on
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: the show? I'd love to hear that. Also, any chance
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: the sports comic will make an appearance on the pod?
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: He has.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming this guy and his lady friend have caught
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: up to the episodes, but we did do a sports
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: comic pod. But he says, was there a big open
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: with people hanging up on the show? I could not
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: find a big open with people hanging up on the show,
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: but I did find a rejoin of people hanging up
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: on the show.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: This is what I found.
• 34:51
  Speaker 11: People get annoyed and hang up on the show here.
• 34:55
  Speaker 11: Olympic hero Michael Phelps.
• 34:57
  Speaker 13: Do you go into the nightclub with these Kellogg's products
• 35:00
  Speaker 13: and just drop them on the floor with your face
• 35:01
  Speaker 13: on them?
• 35:02
  Speaker 15: Sorry, I think we have to head to the next interview. Sorry,
• 35:06
  Speaker 15: thank you very much for your time.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: All right, Michael, good talking to you.
• 35:10
  Speaker 15: Yo, that was ridiculous.
• 35:15
  Speaker 11: New england patriot wes welker uh the chargers broncos game

  Speaker 11: this past weekend a lot of people talking about it
• 35:21

  Speaker 5: this i'm here to talk about whatever you want outside
• 35:36

  Speaker 2: stupid and you can't start sending you want to Talk
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: about something else? No, thank you. Jay Billis of ESPN.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: People hang up.
• 35:49
  Speaker 11: On Dan Levitard and Stu Gatz on Sports Talk 790,
• 35:53
  Speaker 11: The Ticket.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: There's a couple things there that are interesting.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: I was always taught in radio, and I'm sure people
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: still teach it nowadays, rejoins need to be two seconds long,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: five seconds long. I used to make rejoins that were
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: a minute and a half long because I thought it
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: painted a great picture for the show as part of
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: the thing where Dan did the opposite of everything on
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: the air. Production-wise and imaging-wise, I did the opposite of
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: everything anyone had been told. It turned out to be
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: the most successful show in Miami sports radio history, but
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: I think part of it was because we broke rules
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: I think the imaging was a very big part of it.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: And you broke all the rules of radio because you're right.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: You and I growing up, we were taught, get it
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: back to the host as quickly as possible. And in
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: your mind, it was like, hey, these are my guys.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: This is a funny moment for the show. I'm not
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: going to edit it. I'm going to play it in full.
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: The audience is going to enjoy it.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: And they did.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: And it sets the tone like it's just part of
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: the fun of the show.
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: And I can't tell you how many times you would
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: play a rejoin. And Dan and I would almost do
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: that segment over again.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know that it's and it's important why
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: you put it there. It gave us it gave us
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: an option in case we wanted to go to it.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: You know, here is.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: It's not a big open of everyone hanging up on
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: the show. But I did find a big open for
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Joan Rivers when she hung up on the show. We
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: turned it into a big open.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Attention. This is the Dan Levitard Show.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Joan Rivers, a comedy legend.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Dan Levitard.
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: What's his name?
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Stu Gatz.
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: Who the hell is he?
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Attention.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Among the things that Doyle Brunson writes of Joan Rivers,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: if you gave Joan Rivers a penny for intelligence, you
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: would get a refund.
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: Don't start with me with this stupidity.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: This is the real base.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: But what it's worth, Dan's sweating right now.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Attention.
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: You know, guys, I'm going to hang up now because
• 37:44
  Speaker 9: I thought we were going to have a nice talk.
• 37:47
  Speaker 7: Who cares?
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Attention.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: You were on, you know, that Trump show, and you
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: went after poker players.
• 37:54
  Speaker 9: I won the Trump show from a woman who is
• 37:58
  Speaker 9: a piece of garbage. She happened to be a poker player.
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: Who cares?
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: Well, you called her Hitler.
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that to me is what you say when you
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: don't like somebody.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Well, that's very strong, though, Joan.
• 38:09
  Speaker 9: You know, guys, I'm going to hang up now, because
• 38:12
  Speaker 9: are you Jewish?
• 38:13
  Speaker 11: I am not.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Then shut up.
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: Then you don't know what you're talking about. Can we
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: get any clearer?
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: No.
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: Then shut up. You don't know what you're talking about.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: It's very strong. It's all I'm saying.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Goodbye.
• 38:29
  Speaker 10: I'm an interesting combination of mortified and delighted right now.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: It's like, oh, my God, this is horrible. Also, it's wonderful.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: That's kind of rude of her to hang up. I mean,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: you didn't say anything. No, but she warned me.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: She warned me.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: She did warn me. And I should have backtracked at
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: that point. That was male ego, prideful male ego. That
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: was like one of the last word.
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: You don't know what you're talking about.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Can we get any clearer?
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: No.
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: And shut up. You don't know what you're talking about.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: It's very strong, is all I'm saying.
• 38:57
  Speaker 8: Goodbye.
• 38:59
  Speaker 13: I did not think she was legitimately upset. I thought
• 39:01
  Speaker 13: it was part of her act. You know how Don
• 39:03
  Speaker 13: Rickles insults people?
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Hi, this is Don Rickles.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Listen to Dan Levitard if you're that lonely.
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: I never listen.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: But hey, do me a favor.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Can we call her back?
• 39:11
  Speaker 9: Go away and leave me alone and get off trying
• 39:14
  Speaker 9: to get famous on my back.
• 39:16
  Speaker 11: Here's Dan Levitard and Stu Gatz on Sports Talk 790.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: They take it.
• 39:22
  Speaker 7: Go away.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: There'll be one more.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: That is a masterpiece of audio.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: You forget that, you know, talk about breaking all the
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: radio rules, you know, with rejoins that were a minute
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: and a half. Like you forget you're listening to an
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: open for the show. Like you just all of a
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: sudden you just think you're listening to the show. I mean,
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: that's just the opening for a show.
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: And you might have heard that every day for two
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: weeks in a row if I was in the mood
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: to do that.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I miss now. I don't know if you would put
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: that in there, if you would enhance it at all.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. But the hanging up of a
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: hard line.
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: It's just something that sound is something I miss dearly
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: because you don't get it anymore.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: You just hang up your cell phone, you know. So
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: I would.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: Definitely juice it a little bit for the production element.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Can you go back and play the rejoin real quick?
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: We'll just play the first hang up. I think it's
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Michael Phelps who hangs up first on the first rejoin.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: The people hang up.
• 40:18
  Speaker 11: People get annoyed and hang up on the show here.
• 40:22
  Speaker 11: Olympic hero Michael Phelps.
• 40:24
  Speaker 13: Do you go into the nightclub with these Kellogg's products
• 40:26
  Speaker 13: and just drop them on the floor with your face
• 40:28
  Speaker 13: on them?
• 40:29
  Speaker 15: Sorry, I think we have to head to the next interview. Sorry,
• 40:33
  Speaker 15: thank you very much for your time.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: All right, Michael, good talking to you.
• 40:38
  Speaker 15: That was ridiculous.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: New England.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: The reason I play that, that boop, boop, boop, that
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: doesn't come on till like a phone is off the
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: hook for about 45 seconds, but it was a great
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: way to punctuate hangups. I had that sound ready in
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: hotkeys for when people did hang up.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: I would literally fire off that sound.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: Live on the air sometimes, not even just in post-production work,
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: but I'd have it ready. And also the other element
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: was we could always go to an empty line.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: To get a dial tone.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: And to get a dial tone was always like, that's
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: always a good laugh element.
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: So with Phelps, we could do a whole, geez, a
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: whole episode on that Michael Phelps interview. The reason you kept,
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: like Michael Phelps didn't realize, he was connected via ISDN,
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: I think, and it was such a big get, and
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: we blew that interview inside of five minutes, man. And
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: I was so disappointed because we wanted Phelps to be good.
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: We wanted him on the show. But the reason he
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: didn't realize that we could still hear him as he
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: was ripping Dan after he thought he had disconnected from Dan.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: It was so good. Those guys are a joke.
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: By the way, by the way, Jay Billis is one
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: of my closest friends in media.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: It was one of the and by the way. He
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: was not wrong. No, it was the night of the
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: NCAA championship.
• 42:00
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: Dan had brought him on ostensibly to talk about the matchup.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden he wanted to go
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: into this Dan world of asking about things, which really,
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you really want to backtrack on the
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: Tim Hardaway stuff. That Tim Hardaway question where he said,
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: I don't care for gay people or I hate gay
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: people like it.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Was the end of the interview.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: It was like a throwaway question from Dan that probably
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: didn't necessarily belong in that interview.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: And Dan just went for it.
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: The Jay Billis thing was kind of that like Jay Billis.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: He's busy the night of an NCAA championship. So he's
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: making time for Dan, and then Dan's going to come
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: out of left field with stuff that he doesn't want
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: to talk about.
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: I remember exactly what it is Dan asked him that
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: set Jay off. We were discussing whether or not, and
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: Taylor will appreciate this, as someone who went to North
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: Carolina and loves the person I'm about to say, I'm
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: about to mention here. We were discussing if Tyler Hansborough
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: were black, if he would go higher in the draft.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: And that was the question.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Then Michael Beasley.
• 43:07
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: If he would go higher than Mike, because Psycho T
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: was like the best player in college basketball. And yet
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: nobody wanted him. And so we asked Billis that and
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: that set Billis off, you know?
• 43:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Which understandably would.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: He's probably, I mean, scheduled by the minute on stuff
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: he has to do leading up to that game. It's
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: funny because Dan loves that line of questioning. And I'm
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: still on a text thread with Dan. Dan hasn't spoken
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: to me in years. But there's a text thread with me,
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: Fake Howard, a friend of ours, Gary from Los Angeles,
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Jim Frivola from Bournemouth, and me and Dan. And Dan
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: doesn't respond to it, but I know he still reads.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: The thread.
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: The thread's been going on for over a decade. And
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: I put on there the other day, because I saw
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: a headline. It must have been awful announcing or something.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: And it was like, Dan Levitard suggests.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: More white people get NFL analyst jobs, that more former
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: white players get NFL analyst jobs than black former NFL
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: players because they're white or something like that. And so
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: I sent that link on our thread and I just wrote,
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: sometimes you got to give the audience what it wants.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: You got to play the hits. I got no response
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: from Dan, but it was up there. I'm sure he
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: MF'd you to everyone else in that group. Well, that's
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: what he does. I've heard from other people on the
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: thread that sometimes he'll motherfuck me on a private text
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: rather than on the thread itself. Here's one more big open.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: The guy wanted big opens of people hanging up. I
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: couldn't find that, but here's a big open of MC
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: Hammer and his appearance on the show.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Attention. This is the Dan Lebitard Show.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: Stugatz, this guy was at the top of the music game.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Dan Lebitard. Hammer.
• 45:12
  Speaker 7: You are a genius.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Attention. Stugatz.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: MC Hammer is a man who is relentlessly positive, and
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: we have sucked the positivity right out of MC Hammer.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: I asked him one softball question.
• 45:24
  Speaker 7: I mean, geez.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: This is the real bass.
• 45:27
  Speaker 7: I'm confused.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Attention.
• 45:30
  Speaker 14: I'm a very busy businessman, so to take time to
• 45:34
  Speaker 14: reflect on the same thing going on again.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Attention. That is uncomfortable.
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: Hammer, your most famous time was 20 years ago. So naturally,
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: when people have you on the radio, they're going to
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: want to talk about 20 years ago.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: You get that, right? Like you get that, right?
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: I'm just wondering if you get that because you're being
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: rude on our radio show. And I'm just wondering if
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: you get that. You were infinitely more famous two decades
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: ago than you are today. And that's what people want
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: to hear about.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: You are a genius.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, I am. And you're not.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, no. Bass is pumping. Hammer.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: Whatever we ask you, it's met with resistance on your end.
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: We're asking questions that are natural questions to ask.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: I didn't even ask about the Addams Family rap. I
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: didn't even ask about that.
• 46:24
  Speaker 7: I'm confused.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry if we've wasted your time. You can have
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: the floor is yours. The floor is yours, Hammer. What
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: would you like to talk about?
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Let's see.
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: I got three Grammys, eight People's Choice Awards, 30 gold
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: records in 30 different countries, 50 million sales, 8 million
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: world tours.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Nah, not too many regrets.
• 46:43
  Speaker 11: Hammer!
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: So far, we have a conversation, but you haven't talked
• 46:46
  Speaker 7: about anything relevant to today.
• 46:48
  Speaker 14: You keep asking yourself about 20 years ago.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: MC Hammer, thank you for being on with us. We
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: appreciate you stopping by. Sorry that we wasted your time.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: My pleasure.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Tim.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: My pleasure. You get that, right? You saying at the farewell, thanks, Stanley.
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: Because his name is Stanley Burrell, is low-key funny as shit.
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: So what we started to do at the end of interviews,
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: if the guy came on and was using his normal name,
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: I would thank him as his nickname towards the end.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: So with MC Hammer, that was his nickname, and I
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: thanked him by his real name.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: At the end.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Stanley. So I remember.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: when that took place, I was actually in Chicago at
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: my dad's funeral to bring it back to the beginning
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: of today's episode.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: I was in Chicago. I was sad.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: Obviously my dad had passed away, but I was sad
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: that I missed the MC hammer interview because I loved
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: MC hammer. And I remember calling we're sitting Shiva for
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: my dad. And I remember calling Mike and saying, Hey,
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: how'd it go?
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: And him going, not great and me being like what
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: what do you mean he's like it was bad and
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: he hung up on us and stugatz was yelling at
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: him and uh i just remember that being such a
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: crazy time in my life i'm like why would you
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: guys fuck up a relationship with with mc hammer and
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: i couldn't be there to straighten things out because of
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: my dad's.
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: Funeral yeah i'm glad your dad finally got to sleep
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: i mean.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: My mother was so angry.
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: If I could explain something, you'll agree with.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Me on this.
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: When a guest comes on who's kind of past his
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: prime because he's selling something because you're interested in what
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: he was doing during his prime, right?
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: There's a give and take to those conversations. We'll promote
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: whatever it is you're doing now in.
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: Exchange for you answering questions about what you were doing
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: two decades ago.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: And he wouldn't do it.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Yep. Yep.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: So I yelled, like, you have to, you have to acknowledge,
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: you know, it's like Jimmy Walker for years. And we
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: could do an episode on Jimmy Walker, the number of
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: appearances he did on our show and what a disaster
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: it was. But Jimmy Walker for years did not want
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: to talk about being JJ on good times.
• 49:26
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: But then he realized as he got older, well, wait
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: a second. Everybody is still enamored with that character. So
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: I have to I have to give deference to that character.
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: And then I can talk about what I'm doing now.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: I can go down the list of guests that we
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: had over the decade that I was there.
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: I remember Suzanne Somers coming on one. She wanted to
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: promote some health line. But you have to talk to
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: her about the Thighmaster and Three's company.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: It is. It's part of the give and take.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: It's the reason we want you on.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Right. Right.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: It's very simple.
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: You can't come on and not talk about the thing
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: that we want to have you on for.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about what you want to talk about. You
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: talk about what we want to talk about.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: That's a Kyle Turley. I know you want to talk
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: about medical marijuana. I want to talk about some of
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: the saints games.
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: It's a give and take.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: Suzanne Summers, me and you, we'll talk about your exercise equipment.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: I want to talk three's company. I mean, that's what
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: That happened with some other guests too. I'm going to
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: have to go back and look in the archives. I'm
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: sure people DM us with, uh, With people that that
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: happened with who didn't want to talk about what we
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: really wanted to talk about. And again, it doesn't mean
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: that we have talked about it the entirety of the interview,
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: but you've got to give us some like that's.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: Why you're on the show. Yes.
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: If you want to hear something on this podcast, DM
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: me Radio Mark Hockman on Instagram. If you want to
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: support my son's side hustle as he's graduated from college,
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: and it's a way to support this podcast as well,
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: because we get a kick out of it. I, again,
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: I'm wearing my Sam Sneed, my God shirt. If you'd
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: like a shirt from this podcast, there's several different, uh,
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: there's I'm a violent sneezer shirts.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: There's an, I mean, shirt. There's a plenty of stuff.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: It's all up there at horse muffins.com horse muffins.com is
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: the website.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: And the shirts are, very, very well-priced. It's not just
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: out of control. I'm going to rip you off.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: I'm teasing.
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: Whatever you price them at, I'll price them at. We
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: specifically chose high-quality shirts and hoodies, and we specifically priced
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: them lower than the website suggests so that it wasn't
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: just a rip-off.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: I'll give you three athlete nicknames. In order to end
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: today's episode.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: Okay. Anthony McFarland.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Booger.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: All right. We just had Booger on. I know. So
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: I started there.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: The Big Fundamental. Oh, wait. I just gave you the nickname.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: I was supposed to give you the athlete's.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Name, right? Yes.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: So again, if Tim Duncan came on our show, he
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: never did.
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: I would have, on the way out, I would have
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: said that's big fundamental.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: Do you know Gawain Wells?
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Gawain Wells.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Wellsy? One in doubt, Giordano, why? Do you know Taylor?
• 52:54
  Speaker 8: My guess is somebody who doesn't go by that first name,
• 52:57
  Speaker 8: so I would go Bonzi Wells.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: It is Bonzi Wells. Bonzi Wells. What was his first name? Gawen. G-A-W-E-N.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 53:07
  Speaker 5: That was a great... I mean, what a great guess.
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: Does that count for me? Is that really a guess, Taylor,
• 53:11
  Speaker 5: or did you look it up?
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: No, I've never heard of.
• 53:14
  Speaker 8: A Gawen Wells, but I've heard of Bonzi Wells.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no.
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's good deductive reasoning, yeah. Oh, could have
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: been Vernon Wells. Great call.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: Or David Wells, I mean.
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: Now we have to start over. You have to get
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: three in a row before the podcast ends.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: Okay. Adam Dunn.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: I should know this. Man, I'm going to be so upset.
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: This is going to stay with me for a while.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: Taylor, you know?
• 53:48
  Speaker 8: No, I keep getting him confused with Sean Casey.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Do you know who Adam Dunn is? Yeah. In that case,
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: he's the mayor.
• 53:55
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Hawk. I know he hit a lot
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: of home runs, and I don't know. I do not
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: know Adam Dunn's nickname. Big Donkey.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Damn it.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: I knew it. I like how angry you get. Damn it.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: I'm so upset.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: I will tell you, usually I just search best athlete
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: nicknames or whatever. This time I happened to search worst
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: athlete nicknames, and that's why this is tougher.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: All right, let's try.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Keep going.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: All right, got to get three. Covelli Crisp. Coco.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Very good. Very good.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: Did you know that, or is that just deductive reasoning?
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: I knew that, actually. How about Joe Jackson? Shoeless.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: Very good.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: These are the tough ones? And, I mean, I could
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: stump you with a bunch of these.
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: You could do it every time if you wanted to.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: We have to end this podcast at some point, but
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: I don't want to make it.
• 54:55
  Speaker 5: Listen, I can't remember the pitcher that grooved one into
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: Cal Ripken during the All-Star game, but just give me
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: one of those.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: How about this one's interesting. I don't know if you'll
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: get this or not. Boris Becker.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, man. Oh, man.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: I love tennis. I love Becker. And now I'm going
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: to have to start over again.
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: I'm going to let you continue. I'm going to let
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: you keep your two.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: No, I should know this. I'm very upset here. Do
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: you know Taylor?
• 55:32
  Speaker 8: I don't know who Boris Becker is.
• 55:39
  Speaker 5: He was just brought up on the radio show by
• 55:41
  Speaker 5: Patrick McEnroe.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: We were talking about Federer.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: I wasn't listening.
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: He shares a nickname.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: He shares a nickname with one of the sweat hogs. Oh,
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: my God. That's a good hint. Oh, man. This is
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: going to drive me all day, Hawks. It's going to
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: drive me crazy. Because there were only four sweat hogs
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: on Welcome Back, Otter. Oh, I got it.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Wait.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: So there was who were the sweat hogs? Don't say
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: the one that.
• 56:17
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: You had Travolta, which was any Bob Arino.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: Vinny Epstein.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: And there was one.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: It was, of course. Yes.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: And of course, boom, boom.
• 56:28
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 56:29
  Speaker 8: Boom, boom.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: It was Boris Becker's nickname.
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: I would not have gotten it if you didn't give
• 56:34
  Speaker 5: me that exact hint, by the way.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: It was a very good hint.
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: Sometimes we just have to end a podcast by all
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: means necessary.
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: All right. Oh, I was looking it up.
• 56:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, you saved me with a sweat on.
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: Go buy a shirt at horsemuffins.com and DM me at
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: Radio Mark Hockman if you want to hear something on
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: this podcast.
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: We love you all dearly. I mean, and we don't
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: love you all dearly. I don't know why I said that.
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: That's a weird thing to say.
• 57:02
  Speaker 5: Especially the guy that says, my girl, my lady friend.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: We love our lady friends dearly.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: With Stu Gatz and Hockman.
