Hour 1: The Gang Steals the Stanley Cup
45:14 Share

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during an ad reads like... Cuervo. I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo.

Cuervo. Tequila. That invented tequila. Proximo. Cuervo.com. Please drink responsibly. The Hoover Dam wasn't built in a day. And the GMC Sierra lineup wasn't built overnight.

This episode is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Stugatz, how do you feel about Mark Stein reporting that Durant wanted four teams on his list instead of three, but that the Knicks made it clear they weren't interested in KDs, so he kept them off their list? I'm okay with that. Again, we started the show saying one of the problems with the NBA is we're all sitting around talking about a 37-year-old guy and what a difference he can make for a team. I'm okay with the Knicks not wanting Kevin Durant.

Like, I don't know if Kevin Durant wins them an NBA title. In fact, he probably doesn't. And I'm okay with the Knicks passing and keeping that core together. I think I can make the argument that statistically Kevin Durant was better than Jalen Brunson last year. Could I not? Could I not also make the argument that Kevin Durant is someone, even though Jalen Brunson is the clutchiest of clutch, you need someone the size of Kevin Durant to be able to get you all of those shots you need that Jalen Brunson has taken you as far as he can go.

Stu, if you don't have to lose Jalen Brunson or Carl Anthony Towns, why would the Knicks say no to Kevin Durant? Well, what am I losing? Does it matter? As long as it's not those two names, does it matter? I would find it nearly impossible that Kevin Durant would go to the Knicks without one of those players. It's not going to be Brunson, but Towns going back. But that's fine. You're saying that Kevin Durant wouldn't want to go there. I'm telling you, if I'm the Knicks and

I know I don't have to give up Jalen Brunson. I don't have to give up Carl Anthony Towns. I absolutely would want Kevin Durant. This would be one of those situations that Mike got so upset about that you're not willing to get rid of some of your other players to get the superstar. No, get rid of them. Mikael Bridges, Josh Hart, be gone. But do you think that's a possibility? That's a terrible defensive team. But if you're presenting it that way, of course I would want Kevin Durant. I just find it nearly impossible that Towns doesn't leave the Knicks if they get Kevin Durant.

I don't know how many people are clamoring for Karl-Anthony Towns right now. I like Karl-Anthony Towns. Yeah, they don't really have a whole lot of assets. Those two contracts that I just mentioned are expiring. So if Phoenix wants to rebuild, they just have to deal with that for one year. So there are ways that the Knicks could get involved. So to hear a report that the Knicks aren't interested or denying Kevin Durant sounds pretty ridiculous. What does that say about Kevin Durant? That the Knicks don't know what he is.

That they don't know who he is and they don't know how to utilize him. I mean, I don't want Kevin Durant. That team has a good thing going. They were in the Eastern Conference Finals. They took a step from last year, Eastern Conference Semifinals. You don't think that's their ceiling? That team's ceiling right there. I mean, Dan Halliburton hit a lucky shot game one. Otherwise, maybe the Knicks are playing for an NBA title right now. Your best option is to find a coach that can somehow enhance the offense of Carl Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson and make this team rather unstoppable. But...

Going back to Kevin Durant, if I am Kevin Durant, I don't want to go to a franchise that has some uncertainty in the coaching ranks, right? Just got rid of somebody who maybe he would play for, for I don't know who, right? No, but he wanted to go there. No, but he was okay going there. They don't want him. I'm

He had his chance, Dan. I'm at least a little bit surprised by that. I want to ask the group of you, though, off of yesterday, I don't know what you guys think is the primary job of a coach. Managing people is just generally hard. I know when it comes to, for example, Stugatz, in the very few Hollywood directors that I've ever been able to talk to, and it's only been a couple, will tell you that the director's job is

is basically to just be a place where all the people can come and get answers to their problems. A CEO will tell you most, a lot of CEOs will tell you that a CEO's job is just to deliver bad news, that it's not what you think it is. It's just the perpetual delivery of bad news. When it comes to big decisions, the reason I pay Rick Carlisle is to have the strength of governance over

his proceedings that when I'm down two in the fourth quarter, he knows he's got to sit the guy who's got six drives in the game and bring in McConnell because a healthy McConnell is better than Halliburton with six drives in the game. You're two points on the road from taking game five and bringing it home. The decision I need my coach to make is the most difficult one to make. I sit my star who wants to play but is useless because Halliburton, that way, lost.

loses to a lot of teams in the league because that's not good enough. TJ McConnell was good in that third quarter. That's the decision I'm paying the coach to make. I understand today people questioning it, and I also understand why Carlisle goes with the guy that he has because he thinks he's got some magic.

And maybe because Halliburton's a star for years to come, you got to just keep riding that because you can't, you give away this season with the decision, but you can't make the other decision because the other decision is the brave one that if you lose the game the same way, people are going to say, why isn't Halliburton in the game even injured? I think that's the perspective a guy like Rick Carlisle has to have. Not only did he win a championship, but he won it with a championship. He won that championship with a superstar who was aging.

right? It felt that was extra pressurized to get it there. With Tyrese Halliburton, this, even last year's run just to the conference finals, but certainly this year's run to the finals, feels like you're doing this with house money, feels like they're a little ahead of the curve here. So the last thing you would want to do is injure your player for next year. You want to keep this sort of upswing going and make sure that, hey, if we are this type of team that can

own the East for years to come. We have to have our superstar. So it makes it a little bit of an easier decision only because Rick Carlisle has that perspective. That's the long term. But for the now, your job is to give your team the best chance to win. And if McConnell is going to give your team the best chance to win, that's the guy you have to go to, even if it

means Halliburton doesn't play as much. It's easy to say today, and Izzy's telling you that he thinks a lot of coaches make the move to McConnell since 2019, and I don't think a lot do. I think a lot of coaches just stay with the injured guy because he wants to play, he's my star, he's my leader. The other guy, McConnell, is used to a specific role that isn't playing the last eight minutes of the game and controlling everything, and so I

would have made the same decision Carlisle made. I'm not sitting here arguing easily on the other end of, well, they lost, therefore the other move is the move that's going to work. I'm just presenting to the audience what a difficult decision that is. I know everyone's going to criticize it today. It's just when you live with these people, they're human beings and your job is to manage them.

McConnell's role is McConnell's role. Halliburton's your star for the next 10 years. I understand what Carlisle did, even if it cost him the game. It's just like they were right there on the championship in Game 4 and Game 5, and they're a decision away from the winning margin, and Carlisle's done a great job in this series, but on that one, in retrospect, that's

clearly the wrong decision by result and process, I would say, because he's hurt and he was obviously hurt and he was hurt in a way we could all see. So his defense isn't going to be any good and against two guys. If Halliburton's got six drives in the game, that ceases to be Halliburton. Yeah. And what makes this unique, though, is the injury specifically. It's the calf injury that people are very sensitive about because it obviously leads to Achilles injuries.

Tony Reale is now ready. He is poolside. South Florida is still buzzing on the cusp of a championship. Is anyone out there with you or are you at the pool by yourself? Because I don't see buzzing. I don't hear buzzing. I just see you with sunglasses. No, no, no. And this is pretty good right now, but I got my man right here, Joshy.

How are you? Josh is an enormous fan. Biggest you could ever hope for. Of what? What are we talking about? Yeah. We're talking about the Florida Panthers on the cusp of a championship tonight. What's going through your mind right now? I was thinking, I think they're against the oil, right? The oil. That's it. He knows Puck. That's what Puck knows. You know Puck. All right. So since you know Puck, third line of the Panthers, really, what are you expecting from them? Whoa, that's a hard question. Is that the one with Tachuka? Oh!

Okay, so Barkie is where you want to go. Barkoff, yeah. Kachuk. X Factor, right? Okay, yeah, Kachuk. Okay, yeah. So you're here in Miami, and you're visiting, and you're from? Lake Aves, Arizona. Wonderful. And that's already like a vacation spot, and now you go to Miami for more vacation because that's your life. Cannot get enough sun. What makes you positive?

My wife. Yes. Life, job. I get to come to Miami and talk hockey, which is my favorite sport of all time. Have you ever been to a hockey break? I have, yes. Have you ever been on ice? No, I have no balance. So this is with the Dan Levitard Radio Show, and they want to talk to as many people who breathe and live and sleep Florida Panthers, because that's what I've been touring all of Miami, and I have found a grand total of about 2.5.

Two people. Perfect. Well, I'm half of one of those two. You are? Yeah.

Dan, you want to ask Josh anything? His career with the Saints, when Jeremy Shockey caught all those passes as a New Orleans... He thinks you look like Jeremy Shockey, a Miami Hurricane tight end who then became a... Shockey. You know Shockey? Yeah, football. I know a little bit about football. Are you a Cardinals fan? No, I'm a Seahawks fan. All right, Tony, I have a question. Tony, I have a question for him. All right, Stu Gatz. Stu Gatz is with us. Yes, yes. I want to know, since he's a big football fan, how does he feel about Michael Vick? Wants to know.

Mike. How do you feel about Michael? Them damn dogs, I mean. All right, yeah. So now we got, now we got, okay. Excellent. This is the, okay, all right. This is, this is.

Stupidity is what we would describe this as. But you don't sense that this city is ready to explode with the championship. This city is already pretty crazy from what I've experienced. So if they win tonight, is it in Florida tonight? Will you try to seek out the party the Panthers are at? Uh...

Probably not, but I'll get close to it. Okay, yeah, yeah. So we're looking for proximity to party right here. That's what we're doing today. Okay, it looks like a good party. Yes, be careful. I remember when he was in Vegas at a pool party one time, they said it was dehydration. It didn't seem like it was dehydration. He's still saying you look like Shockey. He thinks you look like Jeremy Shockey. Okay, we're moving on. See you later, Tony. We'll check back in with you. Keep looking for Panther fans.

This is Mission Impossible, man. I don't know what you're saying. No, it's a big night in South Florida. The championship. We flew you in with a big expense account to go offer tuition to people if the score is 9-0. We'll check back in with you. One of the things we haven't talked about today, those two guys, and we've aired in not doing so. Jonathan Zaslow lost a monster bet last night. Oh, yeah. And he's got to come in here, I believe, soon with a hair system.

of some sort and not be able to tell anybody that it's a hair system. He's not going to be able to cover that big surface area of baldness with a backward cap either. He's got to keep kayfabe. Now, we're researching hair systems. Like I said, I take this very seriously. Hell, I want him to take a consultation.

So he's scheduled for tomorrow because tomorrow is the recap of Game 6. Don't think we're going to have a system in place in time that we feel good about. But for the remainder of the summer, we're going to have several options presented for Jonathan Zaslow, and he must not call attention to it. He just puts on his hair system in the morning, comes into work, and he just handles business. It's going to be funny. He can't mention it, talk about it with anybody. Now, what is your appetite for—

in terms of budget here because I really want something that's convincing. They're expensive, man. Yeah, like if you want the Ravi collection, it's going to cost you a couple hundo. If you want the self collection, we're talking about something. I want una peluca from La Casa de los Trucos. I want you. It's got to be like one low rent option. That's just obvious. So the Ravi. Yeah, there's a dude that works valet downstairs and it's one of the worst things I've ever seen. I can just like pull it off. Oh my God. You see that?

guy oh my god you know what i'm talking about i know exactly this take kills with just us too uh yeah it doesn't help visually and i hope like maybe maybe one day reality's gonna be doing his thing for us and you can just catch him like like on the periphery i'll be like that's a guy you'll know you'll know when you see it's a double take you're like yeah also like if you're gonna do that you can't go jet black even ravi's learned like touch a gray yes you have to right that's the move

That's a bad loss for Zaz. It was an unfair bet. He had to go over 50 and a half Shea Gilgis-Alexander points, rebounds, and assists when he'd only done that a couple of seasons. That was a terrible bet. He didn't even hit the original number. I mean, excuse me, this is thousands of dollars for these two tickets. You got to want to earn, got to want to learn, or something like that.

We will see what the appetite is for a budget to make Zaslow look ridiculous because he lost that bet last night. Well, he already looks ridiculous. I'm planning on him to look good. Yeah.

The ridiculous part is him not being able to admit that he has a system in place. Like, no, I want Zaz to look great. I'm going to do him a great service here. I have a number of things that I want to get to here with Billy that I have failed to get to over the last couple of days. He's developed a new fondness for hotel safes that I did not realize he had. I want one at my house.

Where did this come from? A hotel. No, I got it. The safe in the hotel. What happened? What was your experience with a hotel safe that makes you want to? And by the way, Kevin Durant still got average 26 points a game last year on 53% shooting. Jalen Brunson averaged 26 points a game on 48% shooting. Left turn. We were talking safes. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm just updating you. Durant's had his chance to come to the Knicks. He chose the Brooklyn Nets. I don't want him. I don't care. You said left turn. Right. No, I don't want to talk. Gearhead. There's a big race in Mexico, Dan. They had windshield wipers. I want to.

Understand why Billy fell in love with the hotel safe, how he's using it, why he wants one in his house. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Would you like a hotel safe in your house? Well, because I just put my phone in it. I woke up, I checked my phone, and then I put it in the hotel safe, and then it disappeared for, you know, eight hours or whatever amount of time I was gone. And then I came back, and I checked it after the kids were asleep, and I was very happy.

Just putting my stuff in a hotel safe, not having to check my phone anymore. So just not having the phone is what made you happy. That really is what it is. So it's not about the safe at all. It has nothing to do with the safe. All you needed to do was get away from your phone for a couple of hours. The phone could have stayed in the room, just on the bed.

No, no, no. You got to put it in the safe because the safe adds a level of inconvenience that you then need to go and you need to put in the code. Yeah, you have to get up and you have to go enter the code and then open it. And then if the door slightly and it's a whole thing, it makes it inconvenient. I want to inconvenience myself to get off my phone. But don't all these housekeepers have the ability like at the end of a stay to reset these like.

The people you're trying to keep them from have access to the safe. I'm pretty sure, yeah. I think you just do like 0000 or something like that and it just opens and you reset the safe. I've done it on a cruise before where I broke and they come in. They have this little magnet thing. They just put up to it and boom, it opens. Oh, if they want your stuff, they're taking your stuff. Yeah. No doubt about it. 100%. So put these on the poll, please. Is your stuff safe in a hotel safe? Yeah.

So is a hotel safe safe is how I want that to read on Twitter. Is a hotel safe safe at Levittard? Also, do you feel a little richer if you put stuff in there? Right. Because I like looking around. I did this first time on a cruise. I'm like, what do I need to put in the safe? I'm like, well, wait a second. This little gold chain is probably my AirPods is probably good. And you just start putting stuff in there. And when you get back and you open it up, it's like, wow, look at all these valuables I have. They also like can fit.

Right. Like, it seems like it's an endless... It looks small, but if you go, I don't know where, like, it has, like, a black hole. You just can put everything in there. You can put a computer in there. You can put in an iPad, a laptop, your phone. Your weed. Yeah, I was going to say drugs. Drugs.

I was going to go harder than weed. Really? It's never good when you've got to spray that thing down after. At Levitard Show, please, do you feel wealthier when you put things in a hotel safe? And also, I guess since we're getting carried away, when you get your AirPods out of the hotel safe, do you feel like it's a treasure chest?

Because I really don't understand what Izzy is doing, or Billy for that matter, because, well, you don't need the safe to be away from your phone. Oh, I do. You're saying it's unsafe to be away from your phone. If there were certain steps you had to take every single day to get your phone, would you get your phone every day? It's funny you should mention that, because about three years ago, okay, um,

Because I have told you before that I sort of want to frisbee all of my electronics into the ocean, but I sort of can't because there's something about what it is that we do here every day that requires at least a tangential knowledge of stuff that's going on. You've got to sort of keep up with things. And I felt what Billy is feeling where I want to – I get relief from putting my phone somewhere –

And then dread coming to it eight hours later because I know what's going to be on there and there's just going to be I'm going to be behind again. And my wife three years ago bought a glass case. And I don't know how popular these are, but it's basically addiction proof. It's a glass case that locks and you put your phones in it.

And you can't get back at the phones until like the, it's an inconvenience every time. It sounds like a hotel safe. It's kind of, it's kind of like that, but I've never used it. Right. She bought it three years ago and I have not used it one time, but there is a glass case in our house that is basically trying to wean people off of the addiction of social media. Uh,

it was a good purchase by her that I've never used. It was a bad purchase. I don't understand how it's used. Is there a timer? Does it lock? Is it one of those like trap doors where like, what if I just want to break the glass? What if you actually have an emergency? Yeah. Great question.

I don't know how it works. It sounds like it's just a box with a lock. I've never used it. I can't answer any follow-up questions. I don't have any more information other than what I'm giving you, which is basically that Billy did the same thing I didn't do for eight hours that my wife wanted me to do and wanted me to do daily or nightly as a way of just keeping information up.

out of your head when you're trying to do things like sleep. - It's more the people than the information I wanna keep away from me. Like, I just don't wanna talk to people when I'm like on vacation. So I go, I put it in the safe. Also glass, not good. 'Cause then you can see like if you have a notification or whatever, and then it's really like more of a torture device. - It's a time lock box. That's what you got.

Yes. Really? Yeah. Hold on a second. Give me some more information on what it is that does. Billy, you have proven over time to be antisocial. You have rooted for home confinement. No, I'm not antisocial. I'm pro-social with people I want to speak to. Okay, but you don't want to speak to anybody, which would then make you antisocial. There's people I want to speak to. Well, you said you wanted home confinement. You longed for home confinement as a way of living. Um...

I like my home. What do you want me to do? And not interacting with people who are in your home. Not letting people into your home to interact with them. You like to be in your home with your family and don't want anyone else in there. If that makes me a bad guy, I don't know what to tell you. It doesn't make you a bad guy. It just makes you an antisocial guy. I'm social with the people that I want to be social with. Billy, you've told me that you don't interact with your neighbors. I do. 90 and 87.

A little head nod? I talk to them as, you know, I try to get in all my conversations now because you never know when she might be the last, unfortunately.

I have other neighbors, but I like Nananpepe. The other ones wet my dog with their hose, so we don't need to get into it. It's a whole thing. And I think the other one, if we're gonna be honest, and probably not for air, I think the other one is throwing tree trimmings into my backyard. But that's not something that can be proven yet. And when I tried to set up a camera, I didn't have my drill because I lent it to my dad. So that neighbor got off easy that day because we were about to have a camera situation...

set up and ready to go to catch them red-handed. Now, what I do with the footage when I catch them throwing the tree clippings into my yard, I haven't figured out yet. But I'm positive that it is happening. I do not have those trees. There's no way they're falling into my yard in that area. I think that they saw a vulnerable spot in my yard and they realized that they could throw tree trimmings there and I've let it go on

For yay long, but no longer. And I've had to tell my wife, you're not to talk to that neighbor. Because I know that that will be the end of the tree trimmings going into my yard. But it will also be the end to whatever relationship I have with that neighbor, which is not good to begin with.

Don Levitard. I may take it one step further. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You're getting sexier by the moment. Slow down. Slow down. We haven't even gotten. Stugatz. Jason Sanders, you're unnoticed. Oh, wow. Oh, my God. What in spite of him. Oh, wow. I love you, Duke. This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz.

So you place your phone in the box and you could set the timer to 30 minutes or 30 days. Imagine setting the timer to 30 days. And it's not just for your phone. It's anything that you could possibly be addicted to. I would never put my gummies in there. I would never put the weed in there. I can't have access to them for 30 days. That's ridiculous. It improves focus and productivity, reduces procrastination, and better time management. Dan, you should try it. You know what I was looking for recently? Waste of money? Yeah, I mean.

You know what I was looking for recently? You know how, I don't know if your wife has gone through this phase yet, Dan, but my wife has told me, and a lot of people tell me, oh, you shouldn't sleep with your phone next to you. You know all of the radiation and the things that are coming out of that phone. You should get away from that and do this and that or whatever. I was looking for anti-radiation bags recently.

that I can just put my phone in so that I could have it there. The problem with the anti-radiation bag, and by the way, if you're listening to this and you create it, this is like, I'm mailing a video of this to myself, and I'm not opening the envelope, and that's just proof that I invented this, and you can't steal the idea from me. That's how copyrights work. So...

If this anti-radiation bag happens, the thing that I've found is the bags that they sell, it blocks the signal. So it makes your phone useless. So it's kind of like, well, I don't want it to be useless. I need my phone in case of an emergency. I just don't want the radiation coming off of my phone. So I need to kind of – I'm getting back in the lab to figure out how I can block the radiation but keep the signal coming.

so that I don't get the radiation right next to my head, but I get the signal. 'Cause I was thinking, do you guys remember when sun passes first came out? When sun passes first came out, they were like the size of a brick. They used to come in like these little metallic like ziplock bags that would block out if you weren't going through a toll or I guess if you're intending to go through a toll and not paying or you just had a car full of sun passes, the little metallic baggie would prevent the laser from getting through and charging the sun pass system. So I was hoping one of those would exist for radiation.

I've got a couple of different questions. Put this on the poll. I've got answers. At Levitard Show, I don't think you have answers. At Levitard Show, please put on the poll, Juju. Do you sleep with your phone by your head? Yes or no? Charging is an important question, too. That could start fires now if your cable is slightly frayed, which happens with

Every cable. They make those cables to break, if we're going to be honest. He has the answers. I also wanted to ask the question, the Sun Pass, is that national? Because I assumed Sun Passes were called Sun Passes because it was a Florida thing. Sun, are they called? Sun Passes may have their equivalent in other states, but are they called?

called sun passes in every state? Do people know what sun passes are? Is that just Florida? They're just toll passes. They're just different names in different areas, but they're toll passes. Yeah, there's an easy pass and sometimes the sun pass works in other states that have a partnership with it. But is it called a sun pass because the sun pass is in Florida? I think so. The sun's everywhere.

I understand the sun's everywhere. I got answers for you. In South Carolina, it's called the Palmetto Pass. There you go. Give me all the different names if you don't mind. There's some of those, by the way. I just had to buy a new sun pass because my car got totaled and I had the sticker on it. So I had to take the sticker off of the sun pass. But once you take off the sticker, you can't move the sun pass from place to place. So I decided just in case another car gets totaled, I'm going to buy the little transponder. Slightly pricier, but more convenient if your car gets totaled or if you have a rental or whatever. You can just

Boop, boop, boop, boop. Take it off, put it here, put it there. And those transponders that are not the stickers, they work in various states. There's a little map that shows you all the states they work in. I checked Idaho. They don't have toll roads. Really? Wow. Wow. SunPass Mini works in Florida, Georgia, Kansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Texas. The SunPass Pro works.

which is portable, works in easy pass states. There's a partnership between them. Delaware, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, and West Virginia. And Idaho, where you don't need one at all. Are we sure that Stugatz's information is right, that Idaho doesn't have tolls? It's right. In Kansas, they call it the KTAG.

I like that. The K-Tag? Yeah. It's a little tricky with the one you can move around because it's got the suction cups on the glass, so if your glass isn't totally clean, sometimes it'll fall off. It's tricky. K-Tag, Toll Tag, Easy Tag, Express Toll, TX Tag for Texas, Pike Pass also. Ooh, I like that. A Pike

Idaho does not have toll roads according to DMV. Thank you. Can you please find out the reason for that? Put it on the poll at Levitard. It's Idaho. Did you know that Idaho did not have tolls? Sugat's nailed it. It's Idaho. Thank you. That's all the information we need on that. Um,

I was confused by recent information I got where Mike Ryan is texting me that Stan is in town. And all of a sudden I start reaching out to Stan Van Gundy saying, hey, do you want to go to lunch? And then I realized that Mike was just staying the Stanley Cup.

cup is in town and Chris Cody was informing me. Stan must have been confused. He was confused. I was confused. That wouldn't be my top, uh, top topic on the board. Stan is in town. I thought was Stan Van Gundy is here and it is not. It's that the Stanley cup trophy has arrived in South Florida. And we were wondering, uh, how it flew because the Stanley cup,

needs to have its own seat in first class, does it not? If you're not going to put it next to the pilot as the co-pilot, then it has to fly first class, but it would appear... Like out of the box, like the cup in the chair buckled in. Can't have it as a co-pilot. Need those two pilots talking.

After the rehearsal. Can't risk it. I disagree. I will say that no, and this is sensitive at the moment given what's happened in India, but I would say if the Stanley Cup is on your plane, I'm feeling pretty safe that that plane is going to stay in your van. Only if it's on 11A. You've got to put the cup on 11A. Also, two white old pilots. That's what I like. Pilots hate that show, right? Every plane now, everyone's kind of looking at it like, does it seem like they're friendly with each other? What do you think's going on there? I feel so safe when it's two white guys. Woo!

All I'm saying is that I know this Fort Lauderdale airport like the back of my hand, and that looked like the normal baggage pickup. And it's just like I would expect that to fly private, to be wheeled. Like the way you see celebrities coming off private jets, that's what I would imagine the Cup to be doing. I'm reading now it is checked in like regular baggage. That's crazy.

crazy. You can just go take anything from baggage claim if you wanted to. Thank you, Billy. Talk about the worst security in the world. Everywhere else in the airport, you got to go through all these bells and whistles, but you get the baggage claim? No, take any bag you want. What happens if that guy has to go to the bathroom and Phil, whatever his name is, has to go to the bathroom all of a sudden, and then someone says, you know what? That looks like my case where I carry my own Stanley Cup replica. And then whoopsie daisy, they take the actual Stanley Cup and only the replica remains. Yeah.

Or Phil opens it up and boom, there's a bassoon in there. Put it on the poll, please, at Levitard Show. If the Stanley Cup were in a trunk at baggage claim, would you be tempted to steal it? Whoops. You can't label it properly, right? I've seen enough heist movies that I know when you are moving precious cargo...

The real one that's valuable is in like a satchel, right? And the replica that they want you like... The old bait and switch. The decoy is the one that travels in like the case. The Stanley Cup, honestly, is probably being moved around in a Jansport, if we're going to be honest.

I am convinced that post 50 years old that Stugatz is only interested in the scenarios where he can get his phrase, the old bait and switch out there.

O-L apostrophe. That and the switcheroo are all he's going for. Izzy mentioned 11A, Stugatz, as a seat. Do you have any idea what he's referencing there? Because this is a fairly amazing story. When they mention seat 11A, do you know what they're talking about? No idea. Okay, this is the second time this has now happened with a seat that is 11A. The plane that went down in India had only one survivor. And...

I don't know how that person survived. It doesn't make any sense to me how that person survived when everyone else dies. Like, I don't understand the math of it. I don't understand the physics of it. I don't understand how there can only be one survivor, but twice this has now happened with plane crashes where the person in 11A, and I think it was either, it was the

previous time that this happened. That story involves someone changing seats before the flight to get into seat 11A to survive a flight. I saw the person interviewed. The person was interviewed in English and face was busted up but looked other

otherwise fine like didn't what he got up he walked away from from the airplane crash the things that i've read about that previous to this uh plane crashes where you want to sit based on any sort of models on crashes is not too far up uh near the cockpit or first class area you want to be in the area in front of the wing but not too far up near that uh the cockpit of the

plane. The first couple rows past first class is what. So put it on the poll at Levitard show. Are you now more inclined to want to seat to sit in seat 11A on an airplane? On every flight. If I'm an airline, I'm raising the prices just for 11A. Make that a second first class. Make it higher than first class. I feel like you just make it a throne. You have to

bit on it. Serve prime rib at just 11A. I think if you pay for 12A and then if shit hits the fan, you just kind of like push your, like, hey. And you have to take a physical to make sure you're in decent shape, right? Because you don't want to be weakling and then all of a sudden you just die because the plane shook a little bit. Scoot over 11A. I'm squeezing in.

Chris, are you alleging that the cup does indeed fly the equivalent of coach because they just throw it in there with all your grandma's clothing? I'm telling you that I've picked up my bag from that exact convention.

conveyor belt yeah and that that looks like the standard pick up your luggage at fort lauderdale and i just can't believe ethan was out here being like there's a it's a photo op it flew private and then they brought it over to this thing i'm like they would i would you guys need to stop listening to ethan putting him on microphones or repeating anything he says on the what's wrong with ethan he's got good hockey information i mean dan's trying to be helpful though i'm

So am I to believe that next year, because if the Panthers win, well, actually, hold on a second. Dan, your wish of the Panthers losing on purpose might present a great opportunity. We could just between it.

We could steal the Stanley Cup. Like, if we know that it just flies regular, all we need to do is check the flights that are headed into Edmonton if the Panthers lose tonight and then just hang out in baggage claim. Figure out where Phil's traveling from. It's from Fort Lauderdale, more likely than not, right? Just because of proximity to the stadium. And then just look at all of the flights that are leaving from the Fort Lauderdale area that are headed towards Edmonton

And you could time it out and just wait and baggage claim in Edmonton and steal the Stanley Cup. You want to bring a box of your own so you can deny, oh, I thought that was right. Put a couple stickers on it. The old switcheroo as Tugat said. Yeah, you go into the... I wouldn't say that anyone should do this, but you go in with your replica case, fill it with a bunch of bricks or whatever. This is...

We're going to need a crew. There's probably at least a two-man job because you need someone that's distracting Phil to delay his arrival towards baggage claims where you make the old switcheroo. Now, I'll tell you that Phil, the keeper of the cup, does work with the airlines to ensure that it gets to his hands and his hands only. That is sitting on like a luggage corral that I'm seeing right there. That photo has it just sitting there out in the open for the taking, upside down even. Billy, I just question whether the satisfaction would be the same.

If we stole it instead of won it. What do you mean? Like if we just steal the cup and we're on the run with it. Cup's a cup. Oh, no. There's a black market for the Stanley Cup without a doubt. Without a doubt, there's a black market for the Stanley Cup. You could move the cup. Also, by the way, I would like to say, I don't know what airline that was, if you see the luggage tag or whatever, but that clearly has multiple fragile stickers on it and it's upside down.

Like, they are not taking care of that bag the way that it was instructed to be taken care of. Billy. Yeah. I don't think you know how black markets work. What do you mean? You can't sell stuff that is one of a kind. Yes, you can. That is stolen. I don't think you understand how black markets work. That's exactly how they work. All the stolen stuff is on the black market. There's always a buyer. Yeah, that's how you move.

art pieces that are stolen. There's always a buyer on the black market. Dan's only been to white markets. Dan, you love documentaries. I will tell you, there's a documentary series that's out on Netflix now that it's about stealing the world's biggest diamond out of this, I think it's called the Millennium Dome or something in London. It's three episodes. It's a quick watch. They know how to get you in. And they were trying to steal the largest diamond in

He really has the answers, man. I mean...

- Can one of you please look up for me? When I was in Norway for the Olympics, while I was there in Oslo, someone stole the Scream painting, the famous Scream painting. And it's not something you can resell.

You know, you guys know what I'm talking about when I say this dark web. Look up for me, please. What happened after that was stolen and how difficult it is to sell something like that that everyone knows is stolen. You've seen the movies. It's some rich collector somewhere. He's got the piece of art in his bedroom that only like maybe five people in the world will ever have access to. And it's just a showpiece. You just can't tell anybody about it. You sign an NDA when you walk in the door. You need to have the...

You need the buyers lined up before you pull off the heist. Because if you do it without the heist, then they know that there's a desperation for you to move it. And then the price goes down. You need the buyers in advance. More than one buyer, obviously, is the prime situation. Because then you have them outbidding each other.

So when you tell your friends, hey, Stan is in town, they know what that means. There have been 10 to 50 high profile. That's quite the range. But The Guardian did a piece on this. 10 to 50 high profile cases of famous original pieces of work replaced by a fake because the original was stolen. In fact, it is estimated in this article that hundreds to the low thousands of

Aren't the actual original piece because the original piece was stolen and then replaced by a fake. Isn't that what happened in the Mr. Bean movie, right? Where Whistler's mother was stolen and they ended up replacing it just with a poster from the gift shop. Spoiler alert if you haven't watched the Mr. Bean movie. But they just used a replica from the gift shop. No one knew the difference. In fact, the Uzbek State Art Museum employees sold originals and replaced them with fakes for over 15 years. Fake.

I keep seeing the Michael Cera movie being shoved down my throat. What is it? There's a new movie coming out. The Phoenician something. You guys know a movie. Isn't that a Wes Anderson movie? Michael Cera is just knocking off Mr. Bean in that. Have you seen that preview? It's just Michael Cera playing Mr. Bean. It's Michael Cera that they're pushing down your throat.

Javier Bardem is in... Oh, no, I'm sorry. It's Benicio Del Toro in that movie. I saw, since you mentioned, Billy, documentaries and my love of documentaries, I've been on a scam documentary series

spree, just people who are scamming stuff. And see if you can look up the title of this for me because he went by Jace, but the name of the movie is Who the Bleep Is. And I've forgotten the person's name because it was Jace something and then it became a different title.

But that person was such a con artist, and I wonder what you do here. This is Spoiler Alert Tuesday. Is that what this is? That's tomorrow, but we'll do it early. It's fine. Oh, today's Shirt Tuesday. Oh, no, today's not Shirt Tuesday. What? It's Spoiler Alert Tuesday. How sure are you on Jace? Am I supposed to take off my shirt? Well, Jace is the name that...

It's not in the title as Jace, but he went in the movie by Jace, and the title of the movie is like Jack something because his name is not actually Jace. But the thing that he did as a con man that was funny and should have been obvious to the women is when he gave...

the woman that he was dating as a gift, three women's watches on the same day. - Watches. - None of them in boxes, none of them in gift wrapping. They were simply stolen. He didn't give her one, he gave her three. And after three years of unrelenting fraud, she confronted him having found out that he was fraud and he just looks at her and said, "And?"

Like just a sociopath. Yeah. And she couldn't do anything. Like her life was ruined and he's just standing in the kitchen. Jack made it her. Everything's fake and I don't care because I'm shameless. Like, yep, those three watches I gave you were clearly stolen because I didn't even put them in boxes. And I just gave you three watches at once. You got me. It's a thought that counts. Bad news, though. Who the bleep is Jack Jace prompt that I think you gave me? Not coming up.

Yeah. Again, Jace is not in the title. Yes, I know. But you said Jack is potentially in the title. You didn't give me the title. You gave me a guy, Jace. So who the bleep? I did Jack Jace. Nothing so far. All right. I'll find it. You guys can entertain yourself. I like your chances. Yeah. Go ahead. Just need a little bit more information. Who was in it? Right. It's a documentary. It's not a movie. It's a documentary that is a two-episode documentary about fraud. It's a docu-series. All right.

Okay. It's important. Is it? Yes. Yeah. When we're trying to give you an answer for something that's on the tip of your mind and you're out here getting frustrated. All right. What's it on? Start with Apple. Okay, so it's Who the Bleep is Jason Porter. It's a rom-com. Rom-com is what it's called. It's not Jack. R-O-M-C-O-N. Who the bleep is Jason Porter. Yeah. Rom-com, colon, Who the bleep is Jason Porter. Got it. Okay. It's coming up.

Thank you. I'm glad you guys were able to find that on the internet with all the clues that I gave you. And I had to look it up and find it on my own phone instead. I mean, come on. Who the bleep is Jack Jace? I didn't give you enough information. I know. I had to give you more. I found it in seconds, but I had to give you more. I know. Love the rom-com. That is a good title. I like it. What do you do if someone's been a fraud in your life for three years? They're standing in your kitchen. You confront them and they're like,

And? You host a radio show with him for 20 years. Hey! That's what you do. It's such a gangster. And you subscribe to God Bless Football. Thank you. Add stupidity. Yeah. What's that web handle? StooTube. StooTube. Yes. YouTube.com slash at Sugat790. You're good. Subribe. Subribe. You guys, he said that out loud. That wasn't in your ear. I've never felt older. Ha ha.

You can't tell the difference. You haven't? As if not knowing your own YouTube handled it for you? It's Taylor's show. How about Jack J's? The fraud genre in documentaries is great, and it's challenging the murder genre.

Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Is the fraud documentary genre challenging the murder documentary genre? Because the shamelessness of this stuff is what grabs you. I would love to see the look on my wife's face if I tried to give her three watches that didn't have gift wrapping on them.

Howdy, folks. It's Mike Ryan. Now, if you've been listening to the show a lot lately, you've heard so much playoff talk. Playoff hoops down here in South Florida were especially enamored with playoff hockey. It's not just limited to the playoffs. Motorsports, tennis, golf. It's truly one of the best times ever.

in the sporting calendar. And with the weather outside warming up, it's just perfect to hop in a pool, maybe grill up some food, but most certainly crack open some Miller Lights. I just described a pretty perfect day, didn't I? And it culminates with Miller time. There's something about a perfect grilling day. The sun's out, friends show up, and that first sip of Miller Light just hits different. I've been stocking up the cooler with it for years. This year, Miller Light turns 50.

That is five decades of cookouts, laughs, and ice-cold moments that never miss. And if you've listened to the show for its 20-year existence, you know this to be true. Miller Lite. Great taste. 96 calories. Go to MillerLite.com slash Dan to find delivery options near you. Or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. Cheers to 50 years of Miller time.
