The Big Suey: You're Not Considering the Prop Repair!

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. This is the way it feels to move through summer in Lululemon. Iconic Align softness without the front seam.

Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching band to nowhere, Fat Face and the Habitual Liars.

This episode is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. We typically do this earlier in the week, but we have some housecleaning to do, and this is one of my favorite segments. The boldest take of the week, Chris. Do you have that queued up? I have it queued up. It's the boldest take of the week. Presented by Boost Mobile, the newest 5G network in the country. Bill here. My bold take is hammocks.

Overrated. Sure, 15-minute nap here, 20-minute nap there on vacation. $150 later, get one for the house. Nothing but a patio ornament. I'll hang up and listen. Hey, guys. This is Jake on a mobile. Just wanted to see, when someone says we're like peanut butter and jelly, what would you rather be? I think I'd rather be the peanut butter. I'll hang up and listen.

Hey, Doug from Omaha. Here's my strike free call. Hey, Doug.

Yeah.

Hey, it's JJ from Immobile. My boldest take is of all the foods that you could spill on the floor, I think the hardest to pick up is shredded lettuce. I'll hang up and listen. I was going to say, a bit of a dip in form.

We gotta get better there. I think there's still some more meat on this Erenekblad bone ale. But...

The general vibe that I got is people were trying to coax him into saying, yeah, we're going to run it back three-peat. And he didn't quite take the bait, which is a little concerning. These conversations do happen quickly. It's an unfortunate part of the business. While they're celebrating a cup, you make it that long. It means you have less time to have these uncomfortable conversations. By the way, Connor McDavid, if I'm an Oilers fan, not the most encouraging of press conferences there. But Aaron Eckblad...

He's still young. And I know this is a guy that has battled through injuries. It feels like he's been in the league for 30 years. He's battled through injuries, and he may have taken some performance enhancing drugs to recover from those injuries. And he turned around in his late 20s and played some of the best hockey of his career. And I have no idea of their cap situation. They could always make a trade. I think if we're actually looking at guys that trade, and this is not a popular opinion given the postseason that he had. Carter.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

But if you're looking at a guy to potentially move and create space on your roster, look, I know defensively he actually is sneaky good, does some things that guys like Mackey and Jesper don't. In the playoffs. Right. In the playoffs especially. But I do think some of the offensive production, if you put Mackey on the line with Bennett and Kachuk, I don't think there's a drop-off in your offensive production from that winger spot. I really don't. And I love Carter Verhage, and he was immense this postseason. But it's...

It seems as though that's just putting it off to the side, floating something else out there if you need some cap relief, because this is a salary cap sport. But the prevailing theory is you need to pick two out of the three. Brad Marchand, Sam Bennett, who seems you've already reported. That's done and dusted. Eight for eight. That's great. He's already said that he's not going to leave. Oh, I haven't reported the terms. Well, eight for eight. He was chaining eight more years. So it seems as though those rumors are true. I've done some digging around there. That seems to be the number.

Ekblad, you know, he can make a lot of money. Okay, so let's... Well, hold on. Let's start here. I know Carolina is definitely interested in Aaron Ekblad. All right, let's start here. What is a reasonable price for the Panthers to offer Aaron Ekblad, who's coming off of $8 million a year? Six per year. He hasn't done anything... Six a lot. He hasn't done anything outside of performance-enhancing drugs to say that headed into his 30 years of age season...

that he deserves a pay cut. If Darnell Nurse makes eight and a half, Eckblad can get that. Bouchard was defensively an embarrassment. Meanwhile, Aaron Eckblad defensively was a solar for this team. And everyone's counting on him to take a pay cut. He's made a lot of money in his career. This is a guy that's made like what? Roy, close to $60 million in his career. Aaron Eckblad is not underpaid by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe he wants to continue winning, but that is not the

vibe that I caught from Aaron Eckblad. There's a guy that can make a big fat contract. And you look at a team like Carolina, who I happen to know, done some reporting on this, is very interested in signing Aaron Eckblad and will offer more money than Florida can. Yeah, I think that's it, man. I think he's gone. I think this works both ways. I wonder how you feel, okay, where... Alright, they just won back-to-back Stanley Cups. Is that...

a good thing for him to stay or is that a reason for him to leave? I can make the case on both sides. You want to stay because, man, we just won two Stanley Cups. It's amazing. Let's win a third one. This is so much fun. I love it here. You can't leave when you're on top. And then there's the other side of it where it's like, all right, I just won two Stanley Cups. I've done that. I have that in my career. It's so rare for anyone to win.

a Stanley Cup. I've just won back-to-back Stanley Cups. Mission complete. The Panthers selected me number one overall in the draft. We just won two Stanley Cups. I need to make sure that I get that one last huge payday. I could see making a case for both sides. And it kind of feels like the Seth Jones move was kind of... Oh, definitely. I thought the writing was on the wall when they made the Seth Jones trade. It's impossible to keep... They've done a really good job of keeping this core together, but...

Look along the way. You've had to make tough decisions. Brandon Montour in a similar position. Cashed in big time. I think Aaron Eckblad has a big fat contract still out there in the free agent market if he wants it. He's coming off of... You don't think the PD suspension ruined that at all? No, he came back and he was stellar. Isn't Bill Zito's argument, hey, we paid you a lot of money for some bad hockey.

Time for you. We scratched your back when you were bad. Now take a little cut here. What about no state tax? That's always working for you. I listen to a lot of Edmonton Oilers podcasts after they lost because I'm really fascinated with this team. I thought this team was better, and they were, but not when they match up against the Panthers. Remember how fast Edmonton looked

compared to Florida last year. And Florida's a slow team. Oh, remember if we were on four-on-four, it was a disaster. It was a disaster every time. That speed, Florida looked like the quicker team of the two. You have McDavid, who has blazing speed. You have Connor Brown, who straight-line speed is a problem. But not really the test that they were on Florida last year. And Florida did such a good job defending them. I just...

Unfortunate because he did so well. He acquitted himself nicely. This is a guy that's been a little frustrating in his time when he's battled through injuries. But the general vibe that I got, Bennett stays. Marshawn wants to stay. Bill Zito has already said, like, I'll buy a Dairy Queen to keep this guy. If the Panthers only keep one of the three, that's a bad offseason.

Yeah, it is. That's a bad offseason. I mean, I trust Zito in that spot to fill in those holes, but you have to keep two out of three. I'm not crazy about this number that's being floated for Brad Marchand. And I know, look, he was awesome. It was a great trade. Five mil a year for a dude that's 37. If he gets that somewhere else, I don't think that we're shaking in our boots over Brad Marchand. What was the number that Boston offered him, which he turned down and then they traded him? I think they offered him like three and a half, right? I think it was in the neighborhood of four.

It was in the neighborhood before, different tax situation over there, I think. I don't think we should be spending that kind of money, too. I'd rather that money go to Ekblad, who's a guy that's been here for about a dozen years. That's why I would rather it go to Ekblad, too. I feel like if you're deciding, okay, I can only keep one of them. Do I spend the money on Ekblad? Do I spend the money on Marchand? I think when you have this culture that you preach about, how special the team is and the character is,

We love what Marshan did. But if it comes down between the two of them, you can't give Marshan the money that you would have given Ekblad, that he would have stayed if you gave him. I think it sends a poor message to do that. But it seems like Zito can fill in these defensemen. He just finds them. We got Seth Jones, like a natural replacement, big-bodied. Is it easier in Zito's mind? Okay, I keep Bennett. I keep Marshan. That offense, I can find Zito.

I'm not saying he can find another Ekblad. No, I think it's the other way around. Really? I think it's the other way around. Remember going into the season before they traded for Seth Jones. What were we saying? Like, whoa, they need another defenseman. But he found a Nate Schmidt. You know what I mean? Like, I just feel like defensemen, they're cheaper. No, I'm talking about middle of the season. Middle of the season. I was like, we need another defenseman. We need another blue liner. And that was a huge acquisition.

an acquisition a consequence and everybody would applaud and call Seth Jones one of the great deadline acquisitions of all time we're not for a guy that finished second in the consmith real quick I want to change gears because yesterday there was a really cool game locally down here if you're an inner Miami fan they were playing up in Atlanta three o'clock game in the

in the Club World Cup. Prior to, now, it was short-lived because they were the first team from the Americas to beat a European team in a true competition, like in a competitive match. They're friendlies. You know, Chelsea has lost in New York Red Bulls in the past. But in terms of a competitive match, no team,

from North or South America had ever beaten a team from Europe. Inter-Miami did so, and not only did they do so, they came back from a 1-0 hole, really terrible penalty that they gave away in the first couple of minutes, awful first half of football. They come back, Messi was brilliant in that second half. The entire team really was great, and then they turned to the Dark Arts and they salted that game away. Porto, the team that they beat,

Let's talk about this team. That's a good team? That's a real good team. I mean, third in the Portuguese league this year, domestically a down year for Porto. But this is a team that has two European championships to their name. It's a team that won the Champions League this century. So they're a team of prestige. No one – I mean, Inter-Miami entered that game a pretty hefty underdog. And now they're all but through in the group to get out –

Of this group, which is a very difficult one. They have a big-time game. I bought tickets after Inter-Miami came back. Well, they had a draw and a win so far, right? Yes. They drew Ali. They beat Porto, which was probably their toughest competition in terms of prestige, reputation, and top-to-bottom talent. But Menas is an incredible team out of Brazil. They're going to be tough. That's going to be an incredible atmosphere. And is that the last group play game? It is. And Inter-Miami are pretty much through.

Unless Alali beat Porto and beat them by a couple of goals and make up a goal differential. This year, FIFA actually got it right. Credit to FIFA. They've done a couple of good things here. I like what the referees are doing in terms of talking to the crowd with the VAR. Made Anthony Taylor palatable for once in his life. But...

the first tiebreaker in the group this year is head-to-head. And Inter-Miami have a huge head-to-head victory over Porto. So, in all likelihood, Inter-Miami are going through the group. Now, it's a big deal to get through this group and be first because you want the better matchup. Now,

They ceased being the only team from the Americas to beat a European team in a competitive fixture because the very next match, the reigning Champions League winner, PSG, lost to Botafogo, a team from Brazil, 1-0 at the Rose Bowl. An incredible upset, one of the great upsets in club soccer. But this Club World Cup has been delivering, and I can't even...

Imagine the atmosphere that is going to Hard Rock Stadium on Monday because both these teams need it. They want to win the group. Neither team has really punched their ticket yet. It's in all likelihood they're both through, but this is going to be brilliant and massive.

Messi, by the way, continues to deliver on expectations. This is a big deal to get out of this group. That is a major achievement. And I know most people will be like, "Bah, win the Club World Cup." You're going up against like, hell, teams from Saudi Arabia have a half a billion dollar budget.

This is a team. One of the dudes has two torn ACLs. Should I go to that on Monday? Is that going to be a big game? I think it's going to be. That's a big game? That is a big game. Don't look now, but I think that is going to be a big time game coming your way. Did you say don't look now? Yeah, I did. It's time for a new game. Don't look now. I like this game. Don't look now.

Presented by Smirnoff. You weren't at 11 with us. The world's number one vodka. Why does your voice... Please drink responsibly. Why does your voice sound like that? Guys, don't look at his voice. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Focus on this. Zaz, are you looking? No, of course not. Okay, thank you. I can see. Even though I'm not looking, I can see. Okay. Boys, big deal or not a big deal here? Don't look now. Don't listen. That's a different game. No, it's not a different game. Shadur Sanders cited for speeding twice. Big deal or not a big deal?

So what was he going? 101, yeah. Yeah. That was a really funny tweet. Like, oh, what's the big deal? Last month he went like 140. He went like 245. 144 when he should have went 25. When he should have went 25. That's funny. Yeah. Do we read into that? Is this a maturity thing? Yeah. Do we? Yeah.

It's incredibly poor judgment. I'll give you a good example. Zach Eadie in May, it turned out, was doing the same thing. He got arrested, going over 100 in like a 50, which was worse than Shadur. Nobody cares. Nobody even talked about it. Shadur Sanders is Shadur Sanders, and he's trying to be the

face of a franchise, the quarterback. He's had a good minicam. It's incredibly poor judgment. But where's the line? Are we okay if he's going 88 miles an hour? Is this like a... Yes, I am. So 23 miles an hour over is fine, but if you go 101, you are immature. I know for me, when I'm on the highway and the speedometer says 90, I start to get nervous. Yeah, I gotta slow this down. That's when I feel like I'm cooking. What am I doing?

My car shakes at that point, honestly. My car doesn't allow me to speed. You gotta change your tires if that's the case. That's not good. It should be able to go 90. I keep it so that I can't. What? Keep what? So you're checking yourself. Yeah, I keep my car not fully operational so that it prevents me from braking. When it starts rattling, you're like, whoa, whoa. Sounds like a man that lives his life a quarter mile at a time. Yeah, that's true. Sometimes my car can only go a quarter mile, you know?

Put gas in it. Don't look now. Jair Alexander joins the Ravens, reunites with his old college buddy, Lamar Jackson. I wanted the Dolphins to sign him. Is he still good? Not a big deal. Is he still good? Not a big deal. Different game. We're doing it. It's a different game. Still a good player. That's a good player. That's a good player. He'll play like four games a season, but it's a good player. Good player. I mean, that's a tough position to miss that much time. We've seen guys. Dolphins love injured cornerbacks. I can't believe they didn't sign him.

And lastly, don't look now, but some good news in the world of professional cheerleading. The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. I don't know what they're called. Cowgirls? I think you nailed it. Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders? Okay. They've got a... The Cowgirls. 400% raise for the Cowgirls. Nice! Big up to them. Netflix documentary probably has something to do with it. Now they get 200 bucks a game. Tulsa for a rally, huh? On that day. Seemed intentional.

The Dan Levitar Show with Stu Gatz is sponsored by BetterHelp. Yo, Tony here, and I want to talk about something we don't talk about enough, and that's men's mental health. Look, being a guy can feel like a full-time performance. You're supposed to provide, protect, show no weakness, keep it all together. But here's the thing. Keeping it all together doesn't mean keeping it all inside. Every year, 6 million men in the U.S. deal with depression. A lot of it goes undiagnosed because we don't want to admit we're struggling. But real strength, that comes from being honest with yourself and asking for help when you need it.

Whether it's a friend, a family member, or a therapist, just talk to somebody. And that's where BetterHelp comes in. They've got over 35,000 therapists and have helped more than 5 million people worldwide. It's online, it's convenient, and you can switch therapists at any time.

I've never stepped foot on that campus. If you told me right now your life depends on it, go to Santa Fe University and just take a picture. Stugatz. I would die. I don't know where it is. This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz. Hey, you guys remember Beat the Streak?

When I was in high school and college, this was like a big deal. You would have to open up a desktop. You had your computer that had some sort of catastrophic disease because you were downloading stuff on Kazaa. What was your record? It was presented by Scott's, I think, at the time. I was terrible. Is Scott still doing it? I had friends that were good at it. I think once I got to like eight. I got to a baker's dozen one time. Eight?

I was bad. What did you get to? I think I got up to 30 one time. Wow. Yeah. I was starting to count the money, and then I was looking into the fine print. I was like, man. This is the hit one, right? I worked with 790. They have a home run one, too. You have to beat Joe DiMaggio's hit streak, and it seems impossible. In fact, it is legitimately in the MLB.

It's proven to be impossible for someone to break. What's the closest anyone ever got to that? I would just go Miguel Cabrera all the time. Remember when Luis Castillo had the 35 in a row? Yeah. Dan was following him around the nation. Did you know that this game is still around? No. Beat the streak. Yeah, it's still around. And I don't know if it's captivating a nation the way that it was, Jeremy. Well, it should because of what happened earlier this week. So there was a user who...

and beat the streak named IoTank. What was he losing? They had picked 50 straight games with a hit. They had gotten to 50. Now, no one has ever reached 57 straight picks. You win $5.6 million. In the history of this game. In the history of this game. No one's ever done it. No one's ever done it. That's crazy. No one's ever been able to do it. And 50 is damn close, right? So you're riding a 50-game hit streak going into Monday night.

They picked Oakland, well, not Oakland Athletics, the Athletics rookie, Jacob Wilson, against the Astros. And I'm going to set this up for you. So Wilson was 0-3 going into the eighth inning. There's a man on first with one out in this game. And if we can go to the video, here's what ends up happening with Jacob Wilson. So Jacob Wilson ends up hitting a shallow fly ball to right field.

You'll ultimately see the first baseman, the second baseman, and the right fielder all collapsing toward it. You think this ball is going to be caught. Oh, but it lands in front of the right fielder. But runner was caught in no man's land. Fielder's choice. Fielder's choice. Hit streak snapped for Io Tank. It ends at 50 after an 0-3 start. A bloop lands between three infielders. You feel incredible relief.

And then the runner ends up in no man's land in the middle of first and second and ends up out at second base. Game 50, you can't take Jacob Wilson. Jacob Wilson? He's hitting .367. No, you can't keep him. Jacob Wilson, no. I'm pretty sure I saw a stat. You find where Albert Pujols is playing somewhere in the Dominican Republic. You see if there's a glitch so you can pick him. You pick Albert Pujols. You go with the stars. I'm going to look this up, but I'm pretty sure Jacob Wilson was their most selected player during the stretch. Mark Ellis. Scooter-o. Wow.

I love those scenes. How is this going in Sacramento with the A's? Great. I think they might stay there. No? They're going to Las Vegas? No, they're building it in Las Vegas, and it's an expensive piece of real estate. But I haven't watched any of these A's games. It's weird that we have two major league franchises playing in minor league stadiums at the moment. It's really wild. You saw it. The Rays are inching towards a sale.

And also, no one's really talking about this. Jay Moore is the richest comedian in the history of the planet now. Jeremy, you're looking at me like I've got two heads. I don't even know what you're talking about. Tony says he's married to Jeannie Busses. It's not that actual money. Whoa. Hold on. What?

Tony says it's not $10 billion. No, well, it's a valuation of $10 billion. It turns out they get like $15 each. They got $4.8 billion, but a valuation of $10. So it's not all $10, it's $4.8. And then you divide that, and by the time, I mean, if you have a valuation of $10 million, you end up at the end of the day getting one. Do you even want a billion dollars? I have a correction. It was Low Tank that was a lowercase L, not a capital I. I think he's the richest comedian in the history of being a comedian.

He gets more than Seinfeld? Yeah. Do you know what Seinfeld is? Is that your Seinfeld? What does Jeannie get from this? At least a Billy. Do you think she clears a Billy? Probably a little.

He's got to split it up a couple times. She doesn't play for the Panthers, so probably not a Billy. Seinfeld's net worth is listed at $1.1 billion. That's crazy. He's got more than Jay Moore. He definitely does. That's if Jay Moore doesn't sign a prenup, too. Is Jerry Seinfeld really a billionaire? Is that legit? Is he a genie? I mean, who knows? Seinfeld's so rich. The way we cut up assets and what you have in cash. What'd you do with a billion dollars, Zazz? Oh, man, I'd do so much good stuff. You'd sign Aaron Eckblad. You'd still be doing Game Night?

I would. Yeah? What else am I doing? That's what I'm asking. I don't know. I don't know what you'd be doing. I'm going to sit around and do nothing. That's why I wonder. You know, Seinfeld comes out. He does his B movies every once in a while. He's still doing stand-up. What are you doing? Why are you going to Dania for Seinfeld? You see Seinfeld at the Dania Improv? I could. You know who I have a ton of respect for, Billy? Who? MySpace Tom.

Because he just got out of it. Got his money. Became a Randy Johnson photographer. Goes around the world, just takes pictures. Can't blame him for misinformation. Didn't try to sway any elections or anything like that. Just kind of, you know, I follow him on IG. Like every six months he'll like post a beach somewhere. Just good vibes.

Chill. Always. He was in my top eight. So I feel like we go back a ways. Better job, Tom, for MySpace or fired head college football coach? SEC football coach. With the buyout. Yeah. SEC football coach with an FD buyout is a pretty good job. It's the best gig in the world. How often would you redecorate your MySpace page?

I was pretty serious about it. Just the top eight and my profile song. I miss that, man. To be honest, it taught you how to code. Ranking your friends and hurting feelings. HTML was difficult, and then all of a sudden you're like, oh, I get it now. I can just do this and then turn it blue or do that, do this. My background's teal now. How did I do that? I'll never forget the day. I'll never forget the day that I found out I was Alex's sixth favorite friend.

I thought I was top three. I mean, I long for the days where that was the biggest issue with social media. I really do. I missed MySpace. I didn't get in on the wave. I was too young. So I was still- You would have crushed it. When MySpace was over, I was, I think, still in middle school. What would your profile song be right now? Ooh, right now? Mine would be Hold the Umbrella. Yeah, that's it. You guys want top five richest comedians according to Celebrity Net Worth?

- This is never right. - Sure. - Well, can we try and fill in the five? - Okay. - Okay, Seinfeld, obviously. - Seinfeld, he's on the board. - I'm gonna throw Chris Rock in there. - Not on the board. - Ooh. - Kevin Hart? - He's on the board, number four. Seinfeld's number one, Hart number four. We have three more available spots.

Chappelle Chappelle not on there. Oh Mullaney not on there think older. What David Gallagher? No, Larry David Mel Brooks. No, do you consider Larry David a comedian? See this is like I'll give you number five. I don't know how you guys can Adam Sandler's number five. Oh, yeah He's comedian number three Jay Leno

Yeah. Number two, Ellen DeGeneres. What? This is an old article. It's a TV show, yeah. All right. Someone ask artificial intelligence. This is too old. I don't think Jay Leno is still in the top five. Netflix is filling money over the bar. Definitely made so much money doing tonight's show.

That's old money, though. That's old money. Yeah. He wasted it all. This would be different if it's just money pouring for being a comedian. He's got so many cars. Like Ellen and Jay Leno. Wait, don't fall down a hill if you don't have that money. Thank you. Joe Rogan, you're right. He's got to be on there. Rogan's up to $350 just on... I guess he's considered a comedian still, right? Joe Rogan? That's what he is. Yeah. If you ask him. News radio. Yeah, sure.

What are their net worths when you're saying top five? It said Seinfeld was at $900 million. Well, what is like fifth? Like Carrot Top is worth $75 million. I just X'd out. That's what that says? I don't think he is. I mean, I... I don't think Carrot Top is worth $75 million. And he might have gotten that in contracts over the course of his...

There's no way that guy's been good with his money. What? There's no way. Why? You don't see him as a prudent, financial, savvy guy? No, I don't. You don't think he's got a good shyster accountant? No, the props. Oh, yeah. Expensive props. Half that budget, you've got to pour right back in, arts and crafts. That's true. That repair room. Prop repair. We're not considering that fact. There is no way that guy has $75 million. What about Pauly Shore? Where is he on the list? Pauly Shore is a sneaky rich one because his family owned the comedy store. Yeah.

So does that count? Family money? Yeah. He inherited. How much money he has. But famously, the comedy store would struggle. They were very much a week-to-week enterprise. I don't know. I think he actually got a big-time dramatic role, too. Well, hold on a second. Julia Louis-Dreyfus has a lot of family money, but we don't list her. Yeah, but she's not a comedian.

She's done a number of comedies. SNL. No, no, but being in a sitcom is not the same as being a comedian. Yeah, you have to do gigs. You have to run gigs. Actively? Yeah, you have to play theaters or clubs. Yes, he is. Within the last year or two, he toured. I saw Sandler like two years ago. He toured straight up two years. What is active? Like simultaneously as we're doing this show? He had a Netflix special. Go do stand-ups, us. Nah.

I saw him on tour. Netflix special's different. We're just cashing checks. He did a very emotional number for Chris Farley. Yeah, but that's one of those things where it's like, Adam, we need you to do a stand-up special and then we'll green light any of your dumb movies that you want to do. Happy Gilmore 2? Halloween Town, whatever it's called. You're telling me you're not going to watch Happy Gilmore 2? No, I am. It's going to be bad. Bad Bunny's in it. But it's not. It's going to be bad. Not great art.

What? You think it's going to be bad? I do. Yeah. And I feel terrible about this. It's probably going to be disappointing. You guys. It's a nostalgia play. Have you guys seen the Sandler Vanity Projects have fallen short of expectation? I kind of like all his movies. I know they're not great. No, I like them all. I like all of them. Blended, great movie. Right. Blended's good. I like them. I like them. But I'm never leaving there. Dick Papadopoulos. Dick's Sporting Goods.

He also made maybe the worst movie of all time in Jack and Jill. Like, maybe truly the worst movie in the history of movies. He's not here to tell us whether or not that's true. I saw Al Pacino without his sunglasses.

My God, pal. Ghastly. He's aging. Yeah, that guy's old. The one with the Pope? I saw that picture. I was like, aging. Aging, Billy. There's no S in there. He's not Asian. He's not Asian. Misunderstood. No, he's Italian. He's Italian. Because he's Italian. Italian. He's Italian. Tom Haberstroh had a stat that sort of played into what we were talking about before with the ball movement of the Pacers versus the Thunder. What did he say? He said...

The Pacers passed the ball 107 more times than Oklahoma City last night, which means for the series...

The Pacers have 705 more passes than Oklahoma City in just six games, which means their ball movement is just on another level. But while I was watching the game, I had a Bill Simmons take. Is 25 more passes a quarter really that much? Yeah. What? Yeah. 700 over six games is a massive amount. See, that's what I mean. When it's 700, I'm like...

Whoa, that's a lot more passing. But then you break it down by quarter and it's just like... How many possessions do you get in a quarter? If you have like... How many passes per possession are we talking? A ton. Four passes, five passes. So that's really...

Five extra possessions they're getting it's a lot. I'm not saying I'm just saying is it that crazy? I want everyone to touch the ball. Yeah. Hell yeah I just trying to undercut about the advantage in the second period Which way were the Pacers going when those the other way the long? Way, I think you're right. We'll explain to Zazz later. Yeah, have you guys seen that tweet of the the new Will Smith song? Where he's still making songs. He's still making music

And he's like, don't worry, everybody. I like girls. Speaking of music, that was what the Bill Simmons take was that Tony, I know, was really interested in. I was locked on it. I was thinking about the Pacers offense. I was thinking about the Pacers offense, and I was thinking about watching the Pacers play. And in the style of Bill Simmons, I thought watching the Indiana Pacers is like watching a great jazz band. And that...

They're constantly on the edge of whether or not everything is going to fall apart, whether they're going to stay on key, whether the solos are going to work, whether each piece is going to play off each other the right way. But ultimately, with all of these passes, with all of these steals, somebody's always showing up in a passing lane. Somebody's always making the extra pass. Somebody's always cutting to the hoop. It reminds me of a great jazz band. They're a lot like a jazz band in that I don't watch them either.

I thought he was going to say a jazz team, but of course it was a jazz band. But there was this Twitter account that sped up. They said the Will Smith song is so close to being great. I'm really glad I interrupted you. You just either slow it down several BPMs or you speed it up several BPMs. But what they landed on is terrible. But what they landed on is bad. But crystal clear, Will, you like girls. Thank you. That was mission accomplished. You convinced us.

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.
