Tony, I can't imagine that you haven't been dying a little bit inside as you get makeup here, that you have had to wait here for a little while with the group to talk about the idea of John Bones Jones winning a fight with a spinning leg kick to Stipe's body that just...

When you knock out, or I guess it wasn't a knockout because he only went down. TKO, Dan. Yeah, when you knock down somebody with the pedigree of Stipe. Stipe's still at it, huh? He is, yes. Not anymore. Yeah, probably not after that. Hung him up? He did, actually. He hung him up. I can't...

I cannot think of a more graceful way to feel like you've won a fight than with a spinning leg kick. That's using the three largest muscles in the body, the quad, the hamstring and the glute to take someone out with your foot because you're so good at what you do that you can take out a giant dude to the body with your foot that way.

Not only that, he had tried it earlier in the fight and it had landed a little bit closer to the thigh. So he's like, oh, wait a second. I can do this again because he's not going to suspect it again. And then when he did it, we saw...

His entire steep a's entire like left side just kind of cave in and then I was trying to do the math I was like is the liver on that side is the liver on the other side Was it a liver shot? No, he'd be in the hospital if it was on the other side Luckily, it wasn't the liver but he did lacerate his kidney and his spleen and broke ribs with that back spinning kick I honestly and this is not a sarcasm or a joke. I would rather just get knocked out cold and

than experience that kick. That looked so painful. Chris, would you rather get kicked like that or get hit by Ray Lewis coming across the middle? Ooh. With pads? Take Ray Lewis. That kick looked like you lose your air, your ribs are broken. Like, I just, that to me looked as painful as anything in fighting. How about Derrick Henry getting a 20-yard head of steam and you have to tackle him? No, I'm not doing that. Well, that doesn't hurt, though.

Oh, it has to hurt. Guys, guys, guys. Are you kidding me? Guys, a heavyweight went down and to the hospital with broken stuff that doesn't break when Derrick Henry runs over you or when Ray Lewis hits you over the middle. Like when you get, I don't think you guys know what it is that that knockout was or not. I keep calling it a knockout, even though it's a TKO.

the, the, the idea, it's a technical knockout. So yes, thank you. Yes. The idea that you would start a kick, uh, man, I've learned so much about like how the body on athletes are connected and the amount of strength that a pitcher gets from his feet so that the ball is whiplashed at 104 miles an hour from his hand. Uh,

and that kick would start in the floor and John Bones Jones is ridiculously strong base for him to break ribs on that dude's body when he's just perfectly timing hitting him with the foot in a way that none of us would think would break ribs looking at it. Correct? Like you don't,

know until Stipe goes down how much that actually hurts. Yeah, because it happens so fast, right? That you see it and you're like, oh my god, he got him. But then once you see the slow-mo, and obviously everything is worse in slow-mo, you see this side of his body just kind of go sideways and you're like, ooh, there's stuff there that doesn't move. So the weight

that that moved on slow-mo wasn't great. The thing is, John has so many different things, right? So many different weapons to attack. He's got great feet. He's got great hands. He's got length. And that was some of the part with Stipe where he was trying to get in the pocket with John and box and...

standing on the feet. But the issue is John is so long that he would just put his arms out and kind of just like paw at him. Like, no, that jab's not going to work. I'm hitting this. And then all of a sudden, Stipe's like, all right, I got to get in. He got clinched against the fence. And then, bam, that spinning back kick. He does that so much with the pawing that he eye gouges. And people hate him because of how much he eye gouges doing that pawing stuff. I just watched the video right now. Stipe has two right hips now.

He knocked his hip to the other side. You guys would agree that it's totally unsatisfying to see one of those fights end with somebody getting down on a body shot, correct? Like, I imagine that you guys want head shots as people who are just looking for blood loss. I think generally, I agree with you, but that one in particular looked so painful that I was, like, just impressed with it. He has two right hips. Yeah, you mentioned that. See, like, the hip, we hit him so hard, the hip ended up on the other side. Shifted to the other side. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tony, how often do you see a fight ended with a spinning leg kick? It's rare. Spinning leg kicks are rare. There's been spinning elbows, spinning backhands that have worked too. But again, the majority of people don't have the capability or the body strength and control to try those.

And even more so, knock people out with those shots, right? Like, those have to be super sniper level, like, precision perfect. Well, you're leaving yourself, you're turning your back to a heavyweight. Exactly, exactly. You've got to be careful. You miss, that's...

You missed. There's another one coming back at you, and then all of a sudden you're waking up like, what happened? Oh, you did the spinning back kick, and the guy kicked you in the back of the head. Shara Bullitt and Omar Gamadov, who had a double spinning elbow, right? So he went this way with an elbow with his left over, and then the guy kind of dodged it, but then he came back around with his right elbow. Wow.

It was incredible. Can I go around the room and have everyone try to say that name that you just said? Khabib's brother. Don't repeat it. Don't repeat it. I wasn't listening, though. Khabib's brother. Did I say that right? It's not his brother. Okay, Khabib's relative. Down the line, yeah. Go ahead, Stugatz. You try first. I didn't hear the name. That's fine. Just try first. He could say it again, Stugatz. Well, that's true, but I don't want to. Khabib.

No, it's his brother. You weren't listening to that part either. Kaboob? Oh, names that connote...

Boobs? Well, actually, since you said that, thank you. I mean, top five. Time now for top five. Stu Gatz's list of top five athletes who still connote penis. Is that what you're going to do again? You did that yesterday. Oh, we've got to save this for the big show. This is the big show. The other show is the lesser show. This is the big show. What do you have here? Top five things. They're just people in sports and what their names would be if they were a penis. I like it. Chubby Smith. James Hardon.

I'm nervous. Nervous? Yeah. Is it because of how everyone is just staring at you? Penis Ellison. Nervous. Wow. Penis Slaughter. Evan Schlongoria. Schlongo. You want more? I don't. Where are we? Is that number two or are we still on OLIs? Dickie Thong. That's uncomfortable. You want more? Where are we? Bernhard Wenger.

I think I'm good. Luol Dong. Oh, wow. Oh, man. Luol Dong. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast. Stugatz Podcast.

Today's episode is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours. I don't know about the rest of you, but over the last four years, right about when the pandemic started, I feel like we started all as a group noticing more that people are just generally selfish. Robert Package. Thank you.

I don't feel like it deserved the fanfare. Robert Hackage. Was he working real hard on that for the last 24 hours? Tommy Johnson. Mark Bolger. Oh, wow. George Foreskin. Oh, wow. Hey. Penis Freedom. Taylor Gooch. Oh.

Sorry. Since the start of the pandemic, I feel like people have been takers more than or it's been more overt that people are selfish. So I'm telling you today on the one day a year in Miami where.

people are really encouraged to give. GiveMiamiDay.org, which is a day in which all of your donations are 100% tax deductible and they're an assortment of charities that can help locally that are doing really good and important work to underserved communities. I am recommending to everybody listening to this,

to partake in GiveMiamiDay.org and just an easy way to help if you have some disposable income because Dave Lawrence, the former publisher of the Miami Herald back in the days when that meant something to be a publisher of a newspaper, has been doing good and charitable work in this community, like giant work for a long time to help people and

I just want to put it in front of everybody and our audience because this money does go to a lot of good causes. And I wanted to ask the group, because I was watching last night and it was a history lesson that me and I think Stugatz and Amin lived together.

Maybe Roy, too, but I don't know about the rest of you. When I ask Tony and Chris and Jessica and Jeremy, when I ask you guys what you think of Ted Turner, the name Ted Turner, what do you know or what do you think you know about the name Ted Turner? It's okay to not know anything here. This particular documentary that I'm talking about on Max is about an old person that interviews a whole bunch of old people, but...

Amin and Stugatz and I know that this person, among other things, invented cable television. And so I don't know what you guys know about the name Ted Turner or what it means to you. So can anyone give me an idea of what working knowledge you have on something that has already become history, even though it was happening in the 80s? I had Turner Sports, so you said the one thing I knew. I had Ted Bundy. Wrong, Ted. Deal.

The Atlanta Braves. Do you want a serious answer? I just want to know what you guys know. I mean, I majored in television in college, so yes, I know Ted Turner. Okay, but let's see here. Thank you. I don't think that you...

Look at me, Louie. That's the one I was looking for. Fanfare is what she deserved. I thought that was a penalty box. For majoring in television in college. Yes, but there are a lot of other things that he did that made him uniquely ahead of his time. He also invented the Goodwill Games. But in terms of aspirations and what it is that he had, he was looking in very real ways to end nuclear threat.

and feed all children. Like in terms of ambition, his ambitions were giant. Owning the Braves was very small. He gave a billion dollars to UN related charities because he was so aggressive about trying to legitimately make the world a better place. Did he also want to pay the teachers and save the whales? I mean, uh,

He saved the bison. Did he really? He saved an entire species of animal. Wow. He did giant things. He was way ahead on climate change and everything else. And the reason I bring all of it up is watching him and this documentary, which it's got some fat in places and it is slow if you have an attention span that needs perpetual stimuli. But-

the things that he was doing were enormously groundbreaking in a number of different ways, but giving and giving in the way that I'm asking the audience to do on GiveMiamiDay.org was at the center of almost everything that

that the man was doing and it's a level of ambition that seems totally insane because it's not like he was a brilliant man, but he was continually betting his fortune on these giant bets and the reason I bring it all up is because my god would he be wounded by what's happened to CNN like CNN which came

Into the forefront because they were covering a war better than the major news networks as he was trying to fight his way into the television game and against you got would get it like $500 million in debt and you'd be like, how does that person sleep at night? How do you sleep at night with $500 million?

In debt, I suppose we could probably ask the next president of our country who has bankrupted, I don't know, four to six places. Is that money even real at that point? Like, oh, I owe $500 million. Ooh, what are you going to do? Are you going to come get it? Sure. Let's do a payment plan. A million a year for the next 500 years. I feel like if someone owes you $500 million...

You kind of messed up. You're the one that messed up. Not the guy who owes the money. You're never seeing that money again. You're never seeing that money again. Yes. You got it. At some point, maybe after the first $100 billion, you should have said, okay, let's slow down. He paid everyone back. Did he? Yes. He managed to pay. He got out of debt. Sucker. He managed to pay everyone.

everyone back by winning the bet. He was worth $10 billion at one point because he made cable television matter. And not only would he be mortified by what's happening at CNN, my guess is he's mortified by cable television collapsing too because a whole bunch of things are falling apart all around us. How about the Braves? I'd be happy about that. The Dodgers are dominating. I mean,

He'd be generally happy about where it is the Braves were last year. Yeah, good. Talking about him like he's dead. Yeah, they threw me off. I had to Wikipedia it. Like, is he still with us? He is. $50 fine. No, Dan means his mental faculties. Obviously, maybe not all the way there. He's an older person. Spoiler alert. It's sad in that regard where age comes and grabs us all. But yes, he is not yet dead. I'm sorry I was speaking as if I was eulogizing him. I was just watching a documentary.

about his life that Jessica didn't need because she majored in television. That's right. He was married to Jane Fonda, Dan. He was, yeah. That's correct. But they got divorced. Do you guys remember Jane Fonda? Had the fitness tapes or the aerobics? Remember Jane... She's still out doing stuff. She's not dead either. She was in 80 for Brady a mere two years ago. Oh, that's right. She was in 80 for Brady. She's on TV all the time. Is she on TV all the time? Yeah. I won't say all the time. Fonda sports is totally different. Mm.

Put it on the poll, please. I'm fond of sports. Is Jane Fonda on television all the time? Were you guys aware? I was not aware until yesterday that Denzel Washington said that he's been sober for 10 years, that he used to drink two bottles of wine a day. I was not aware he had a drinking problem. Man, making that movie Flight must have been something. That was an alcoholic palate. I'm drunk right now.

What a scene. Ten years he was sober for ten years and was drinking two bottles of wine. But the next choices that Denzel is making, he's doing Black Panther. He's doing Gladiator. He says that in Gladiator he kissed a man full on the lips and it was cut out of the movie. He said apparently people aren't ready for Denzel Washington to kiss a man on the lips.

And he's also doing, and forgive me for forgetting this, I should know it, it's almost like a just giant man violation. His famous action franchise... Equalizer? Equalizer. I know, my bad. I felt terrible. Just saw three over the weekend. I know, but he apologized front end. Three has a lot of subtitles. Three has a lot of subtitles. It's in Italian. He's in a beautiful spot over in Positano where he has to go and make sure...

that the mob isn't doing the things that they're doing to all the small businesses. To all the local people. Exactly. Like he just happened to be there and he didn't like how the mob was treating all the local people. I like 3. 3 was actually pretty good. Is that the one with the hurricane? No, that's 2. That's 2.

That was a ridiculous... He's fighting the Russian mob in that one, in a hurricane. That was a ridiculous ending to that movie. What? Him fighting in a hurricane? Like, come on. What's wrong with that? Come on. Anyway, what I was saying is he's doing four and five. Thank God. He has signed up for four and five because he's capitalizing on this recent trend where he's like, well, wait a minute. If all the action heroes get to be 50, 60, and 70, I'm a giant movie star...

And I don't know if he's going to make any of those in Italy, but it seems like Denzel Washington makes a lot of choices because he just wants to spend a lot of time in Italy, where I'm guessing he was getting some of those two good bottles of wine that were giving him a problem before 10 years ago. But you're excited about all of these moves because this is, we can agree, right, that if we were making a list of top 10 movie stars of all time, Denzel Washington is on it.

Top 10 all time. - Oh, without question. I think everyone would put Denzel in their top 10 actors of all time, for sure. - Top three probably. - Absolutely. Dan, I'm surprised that you went with Denzel used to drink two bottles of wine a day when one of the other things he revealed in that interview was, "I used to shoot dope." He was on the Heron. That's shocking.

Wine? Two bottles of wine? A lot of people doing that. I mean, Popovich is doing that. Hey, I'm drunk right now. But doing hard drugs? I don't know. Maybe this is my naivete, but...

No, Denzel would never do hard drugs. That guy, like, he's straight and narrow. Family man. Family man, right? Wait a minute. What is Amin doing? Because Amin got really mad at me one day when I said, I can't imagine Tua doing a whole lot of bad stuff off the field. And Amin was like, that's ridiculous. Why would you assume that anybody's public persona is a real thing? And you got mad at me, but Denzel you're willing to buy on. Denzel's different. But he did heroin. He also did

Heart condition. Yeah, but... Oh, yeah. That's vile. But we're reading that. We're reading that about Denzel, whereas we're speculating about Tua. Yeah, I mean, it's Denzel who's revealing that to us now after all these years. But...

That was, I mean, that to me was the most shocking thing that came out of that. Not, I used to be an alcoholic or whatever. The most shocking thing to come out of the last 10 minutes to me is when you all agreed vigorously on top three, top five, top 10. I saw a single raised eyebrow in the back row. You better not. Of cynicism and she wanted to speak into existence. Who is it? She said she.

He said C. Willow. I was going to say Roy. Willow. Willow, that was disrespectful. Hey, DraftKings fans. Are you ready to elevate your game day snacking experience? This college football season, we're feeling the cheesiest with Cheez-It. That's right. Delicious Cheez-It crackers not only satisfy your snack cravings for game day excitement, but they are also amplifying your football watching experience with a new daily fantasy sports game. Best of all, since Cheez-It is made with 100%

Don Levitard. No one else here is willing to do a Trump or a Biden. That's not true, Dan.

Okay, Tony, you can catch up. Man of a thousand impersonations. That's not bad, man. Not terrible. Pretty good. Stugatz. Yours is terrible. You just got to get a little redder. A little pinker. You're right there, man. Yours is not. You're biting me. What do you mean? Oh, his is good, Dan. That's actually not bad. His is good. Not terrible. That's not terrible. We got to come together.

A little Southern twang there. A little George Bush in that one. This is the Dan Levatard Show with the Stugats. Denzel, he's like slightly older than the movies that I connected with.

in my 20s. You don't have to apologize for this. He's 70. Actually, he's 69. Nice. She has Glenn Powell in her top 10. No, I don't. But maybe someday. Top 10 from the summer. Someday soon. I do wonder, is this generational or do we have to take the history of the movies, right? Because not a whole lot of people talking about this are going to mention the Rock Hudson's and the Clark Gables and the people from a million different, a million years ago. You just made up names. So how old, well, but how old, how long?

How long before Denzel Washington's a made-up name? Because he's only like 30 years after them where he starts. And so to a generation, at some point, Denzel Washington's going to be Clark Gable and Rock Hudson. I majored in film, so I know who Clark Gable is. Gone with the wind. Come on. Clark Gable.

That's Ted Turner. Well done. I have here IMDB's top ten actors of all time. And I will tell you, Denzel comes in. This is just actors, not actresses. He comes in right at ten.

I like to hear who they have above Denzel. Do it backwards. Do it upside. Do it from 10 to 1. And why is it just men? Well, I think I could have done actresses. But I was movie stars is what I was looking for. Just movie star names. But okay, let's do actors. Number 9, Paul Newman. Number 8, Anthony Hopkins. The salad guy? Number 7, Tom Hanks. Oh!

Number six, Dustin Hoffman. No. Stigatz is going to like the next one. Number five, Daniel Day-Lewis. Number four, Adnan's going to like this one, Al Pacino. Adnan will also like number three, Robert De Niro. Mm-hmm.

Number two, Marlon Brando. That's an ad. And number one, Jack Nicholson. Wow. Jack Nicholson. Number one? Terrible list. No Stallone. And it says the actors on this list are ranked according to their lifetime success along with acting skills, versatility, and role transformation.

Yeah, Jack Nicholson really does role transformation. Every single act I do goes like this, and I'm Jack Nicholson, and I don't actually have to do anything else but do this thing right here, and I do my eyebrows, and then I die and a rat comes around, and all of a sudden we win an Oscar.

Actually, I take back what I said. He's definitely on my list. I forgot about Remember the Titans. Ah, there we go. I don't know how, but my parents took me to see that in theaters. A little young for that movie. Didn't an NFL team just do the celebration that they didn't remember the Titans in the end zone? What was the team that just did that a couple of weeks ago? I thought it was the Chiefs. Didn't DeAndre Hopkins do it? Was it the Chiefs? Was it the Falcons? I thought that was from the replacements.

No, it was from Remember the Titans. It was just the... It was DeAndre Hopkins. DeAndre Hopkins with the Chiefs. Thank you. Because he was on the Titans. He was remembering the Titans. That would have been the easy way. I don't know, what is that called where it is that you have cues for your memory to help you? Mnemonic device. That would have been... Memory cues. Johnny Mnemonic. We talked about that on Tuesday. Dan doesn't like Keanu Reeves. He's on my list. Really?

how can I not remember the Titans when he was doing, remember the Titans and he used to be a Titan and he's the only relevant thing from the Titans that has happened this entire season. And I had all the clues there and I still forgot one of the funny things that happened in the Ted Turner documentary. He didn't mean to do this, but he was talking about, and this is happening to me now, his memory loss issues. And he was like, I have Alzheimer's and, uh,

I don't remember the name of the other one. And he wasn't joking. Oh, wow, that's tough. He was saying, that's what he was saying. Good joke, though. Well, he didn't mean it as a joke. Then he started laughing at himself. I would recommend, again, if you don't like...

slow and old, I will not recommend this. But if you just want a history lesson on a fairly amazing person, I would strongly recommend this documentary because it's just moving.

To see someone care so much about peace and giving, and it's hurtful to see someone losing so badly in this modern age when he was warning us 40 years ago of what it is that was headed this way. Related to movies, Amin says...

And I don't know why he says this, but I did hear everybody all of a sudden in the Stugatz wheelhouse of talking about Rocky, which is the only movie Stugatz ever wants to talk about, saying that the Jake Paul, Mike Tyson fight resembled to him Rocky VI. Jessica, you did not major in Rocky in college. You have admitted that you've never seen any of the Rocky movies, correct?

Not a single one, Dano. So explain how it is, I mean, to the people who do not know what Rocky is, why it is that Jake Paul and Mike Tyson felt to you like Rocky VI. Okay, first of all, people know what Rocky is. They may not know the details of Rocky VI. They know what Rocky is. They know the premise. They know the premise. But in Rocky VI, which is called Rocky Balboa, actually, it's technically not Rocky VI. Rocky is an old...

Kind of like Mike Tyson. He's like retired, but everybody knows. Past his prime. Not even past his prime. He's an old man who's retired, but everybody knows who he is. He's got a restaurant. Everyone goes to the restaurant. They love Rocky. And so there's this hot new young boxer named Mason the Line Dixon, right? Great name, by the way. So good. Writing is superb on this movie. Yes.

they do the thing, I think it's actually Max Kellerman because they have ESPN in the movie where they're doing the thing with, how good would he be against the greats of past? Like, oh, I don't know, Rocky. And so they make this whole simulation on like NBA 2K where he fights

against Rocky and he wins and then Rocky kind of takes a little offense. I was like, you know, I don't think it would go down like that. And next thing you know, Rocky's coming out of retirement. He's training to fight Mason the Lion Dixon who's in his prime and it's a great fight. I think Mason Dixon wins, right? Yes. He wins, right? But it's like also, it's not like a knockout or anything. No, he won on the court. Yeah, everyone praises Rocky for like,

basically an old man not getting your ass knocked out. And I was like, holy shit, that's exactly what happened. They literally just lifted the entire plot from Rocky VI for this fight because we did simulations and we said, oh, he's going to kill him and all this stuff. And all the old people were like, Rocky's going to win. All the young people were like, it's impossible. And then we get in the ring and it's like, all right, he's not going to win, but also, he's not going down. He's taking these headshots like a champ. So...

I just wondered, like, why didn't anyone connect those dots at any point in this process? And then Roy tells me, I did. And he showed me the tweet that he did. Yeah, man. I made that joke right in the middle of the fight. Like, this is the worst performance that Rocky Balboa did with Mason and Lion Dixon. When I knew things were cooked is not when he walked into the ring and was a little slow or whatever. When they panned over to Mike about to walk out and he had a knee brace on, I was like, ooh, that's a bad look.

You can't wear the knee brace. Nobody wears the knee brace. You got to limp in. You got to just pretend. Without the brace. Got to go without the brace. You have to. One of my favorite things from that fight was Roy Jones saying, I don't like his legs. And I know what he was doing. Someone was like, he's just repeating the same thing. I was like, you know what he's doing? Roy will know this from Cinephobe. He's doing Cobra formula because he wants someone to say, what's wrong with his legs? And then he would explain. But nobody took the bait. So he just kept saying, I don't like his legs.

And everyone just kept sitting around like, all right. I noticed during that fight the importance of broadcasting chemistry when they throw it to Rosie Perez and she'd just say, that's right.

And then there'd just be this silence sitting there because she wasn't... They were expecting more. Well, she knows boxing. It was a matter of chemistry between the participants and talking at the right time and not wanting to... Not that there was much action, but not wanting to be talking over action. You mentioned Mason the Lion Dixon as a great name. Lion, not lion. Lion. Mason Dixon Lion. It's like the Mason Dixon Lion. There you go. Forgive me. Not the Mason Dixon Lion. Thank you. Mason...

The Lime Dixon. You guys mentioned that as a great name. What is right now regarded as the greatest name anywhere in sports? The Glimmer Man. I saw a nominee make an appearance this weekend during the Raiders-Dolphins game because...

Divine Diablo is a pretty... He's incredible, Dan. That's a real name. Hold on. Divine Diablo? Yes. It's a pretty great name for a football player. And he's an excellent linebacker. He's always in the right spot, always making a big tackle. Like, he's very good. Is that as good a name as LSU's linebacker, the Honky Badger? Ooh, Whit Weeks, number 40. Ooh.

What do you guys have for me in terms of names across sports that you like? Stugatz has told me before that there are certain names that as soon as he hears them, he would sign that person to a quarterback contract without knowing anything else other than their name. Jackson Dart, one of those names. Dallas Comogies for me was a power forward, early 80s DePaul.

My favorite sports name of all time. It's a great name. Agreed. I'm just surprised that that's what you're going with. I can't help it. Jackson Dart. Okay, put it on the poll, please, at Levitard Show, Juju. Better sports name, Jackson Dart or Dallas Commagees? Also put up there Divine Diablo because it's a strong name. Well, that's going to win, Dan. It's a strong name, but it's a strong name for a linebacker. Also put Mason the Lion Dixon up there for me.

As well. Boy, you stop laughing at me for a second because I got something for you right now here. Oh, no. Yeah, we were surveilling and listening, and as we always are around here, while you were doing something the other day.

And I also would recommend to the group, Ronan Farrow has a documentary on surveillance if you want to be really scared about how everything is listening to you right now. And we're all doomed in terms of how our information is going to be used against us shortly. The most wonderful time of the year is just about here.

Don Levitard. Mr. Mr. Shirt, if I may say for a second. Miami, they were simulating the snap count the entire game, and they were clapping at the line of scrimmage. And the only thing I want to see clapping are them cheeks on Mrs. Met in my face, Mike Shirt. All right? So that's one thing. Stoogatz. They're a bunch of cheaters, Dan. And you know who should be cheating? Mrs. Met on Mr. Met. And he can watch if he wants. This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stoogatz. ♪♪

Roy, we were recently, I was sent by sources, Metal Ark betrayers and infidels and traitors. They sent me something that happened with you the other day, and I would like to play it for the group. Do you have any idea what it is that I'm going to play for you? The hockey show, you can catch it every week whenever Roy feels like publishing, sometimes on Fridays. Ha ha ha.

Do you have any idea what I'm about to play right now? Well, whatever it is, it's bound to make fun of me. So watch. OK, let's let's do that real quick and then compare it to something Chris Cody did recently. And the gifting experts at Omaha Steaks have made it easy to deliver. And the gifting experts at Omaha.

Thanks, guys. Appreciate your support. And thank you. The Hockey Show every Friday. And the good thing experts at Omaha Stakes have made it easy to deliver the perfect. F*** you. Now, which one's worse? That time or the time that we were listening and surveilling on Chris Cody as he was in another room? I believe. Oh, great. We're doing this again. I believe we tuned in live to this and we're just watching him from a distance, if I recall.

We've all cursed at the copy before, though, right? We've all done that noise where you're just like, what did the copy do to you? The copy just sat there doing what it always does. The copy didn't do anything to you. That's just the articulation of total self-loathing. But I like...

And then the very silent is a very quiet. F*** you. It's not it's not an emphatic. It's not full of rage. It's just you know what? You can go yourself. Let's listen to this with Chris Cody. And again, I ask you simply to see where it is that he's trying to summon something that sounds authentic. But you can tell his enthusiasm is fake.

I'd like to play for you guys, and I'm hoping I'm surprising all of you when I do this. We all know that Jim Harbaugh is unusual.

And Jim Harbaugh has recently done a very easy, smart thing where he just says Justin Herbert is not only one of the best quarterbacks going today, he's one of the best quarterbacks of all time. It costs him nothing to say that. It's just a good move, and everyone can talk about his quarterback and whether he is as great as Jim Harbaugh says he is or not. Are you saying Jim doesn't believe what's coming out of his mouth? I'm just saying that showing belief in your quarterback, maximum belief in your quarterback, is not anything that's going to cost

him other than us thinking, oh, Jim Harbaugh is strange, which we already thought anyway. So it doesn't matter. He's just creating a discussion point that brings attention to his quarterback. And I'm actually of the belief that he has brought relief to his quarterback, who was the face of that franchise. And

It's kind of boring on purpose during interviews because it doesn't seem like he wants that. It seems like he just wants the ball. So Harbaugh comes in here and he comes in over his quarterback and he praises him this way. But even by the strange standards of Jim Harbaugh and winning will cover up a lot of things, including corny.

I am stunned by what happens at the end of this high five video in an NFL locker room. You guys tell me if you see the ending of this coming, because what breaks out in a celebration, you've just beaten Joe Burrow at his best. You are one of the best teams with one of the best records in the league. Jim Harbaugh is happy. This locker room is happy. This is not how I expected a locker room celebration in the NFL to end.

This is going to be one of the best high fives ever. Give each other a high five! 20CB.

No one has sung that song since the 20th century, ma'am. But how did that locker room of players know that song? All of them. That is a big uptake. We're watching Clark Gable films. He also did this at Michigan, too. They did this in the locker room after the national championship game, I'm pretty sure. This is just one of those Harbaugh things like the, ooh.

Who's got it better than us? They just do weird stuff. I don't know what to say. You know, Harbaugh has taken your whole quarterbacks. Once they throw an interception, get off the field. He's taken it to the next level. Justin Herbert is not allowed to high five anyone. He doesn't want him to hurt his hand. I mean, this guy, he is prepared for everything, Harbs.

For he's a jolly good fellow. So strange. I'm with you, Dad. Is it Little Caesar? Was that the movie with Edward G. Robinson? I think so. And then he's like, he does this when they sing. Remember when they used to do this? He's like, hey, thanks, guys. Thanks, fellas. He'd do a little fist shake. I'm trying to think of something that could have broken out older in the Chargers locker room.

from a retirement home in the 1970s more than what broke out in four. He's a jolly good fellow. Allow me to try.

The Camptown ladies sing this song. Do-da, do-da. The Camptown races five times along. Oh, the do-da day. Gonna run all day. Gonna run all day. That? I got it. Trailers for sale or rent. Rooms still at 50. That would have been old, too. Come on. Hang on, Sloopy. Hang on. Sloopy, hang on. What happened? That one's old. What is that? That's old. I don't know. Yeah. Oh.

I think For He's a Jolly Good Fellow is older than all of these. 1862. You guys are doing a very poor job of coming up with something better than For He's a Jolly Good Fellow. That's not bad right there. That's not older than For He's a Jolly Good Fellow. It's not, but it's better than trailers for sale or rent. That's an old

song. It is, but your dad is the only one who sang it with that kind of intensity throughout the last 40 years of your life. I don't know how popular that song is for communal singing. Let me ask you guys this. That list of actors, greatest actors that Chris gave us, you guys did notice that Denzel snuck in at 10, but everyone else was white, right? Yes, of course. Which made me feel like Denzel snuck in at 10 just because everyone else was white. D-E-I. Hmm.

It's like my top 10 list, but in reverse.

Jessica has a top ten list of greatest actors ever as well. And it's even wider. Number ten, Andy Serkis. No. The great British voice actor. Number nine, John Rhys-Davies. No. The great British actor. He also played Gimli in Lord of the Rings. Number eight, Sean Bean. Wait a second. Of Game of Thrones. He also was Boromir in Lord of the Rings. That's a good trend. Number seven, Viggo Mortensen. We all know Viggo Mortensen. I've heard of him. He's a great actor.

He was also Aragorn in Lord of the Rings. Number six, Sir Ian McKellen, one of our finest actors of all time, happened to play Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings. Number five, Billy Boyd. We all know him from... Lord of the Rings? Pippin in Lord of the Rings, yes. But he's been in some other movies as well, but he was also Pippin. Number four, Dominic Monaghan. He was in Lost, also played Mary in the Lord of the Rings. Yeah.

Number three, Orlando Bloom. Pirates of the Caribbean, of course. Also Legolas and Lord of the Rings. Only on screen for like 10 minutes, right? Throughout the entire trilogy. That's not true. It is. No, there's just no way that's true. Look it up. Keep doing your race. The two towers chase where they're hunting for the hobbits is more than 10 minutes alone.

I can't tell racism. You argue with her, you're wrong, and then you tell her to look it up. No, I'm not wrong. I just don't believe that that could be true. I'll look it up. How about that? You're going to look it up? He's part of the fellowship. He said, continue your race. I think what you're confused about is that he's not on screen with Frodo pretty much at all. Keep doing your list. I'm going to look it up. Number two, Sean Astin, one of the greats. He played Rudy. He was also Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings. And number one, Elijah Wood.

Frodo, the ring bearer. I love him so much. Best actor of all time. Wood, the fifth anniversary. When is too early with the Christmas trees? Now. Pre-Thanksgiving. Yeah. No, you get a week before Thanksgiving, you're good. No. Right now? Yeah. Trees can go up this week. Let's celebrate Thanksgiving first and then we move to Christmas. Exactly right. I stand corrected. It was 10 minutes in the first movie, but across the trilogy, on screen for 30 minutes. You're sitting down.

Howdy, loyal listeners. It's Mike Ryan, and we're getting pretty close to wishing folks happy holidays. I'm sure many of you are already in the planning stages of opening up your homes and hosting holiday get-togethers.
