[00:00:49]

This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats podcast. We are live in Las Vegas for the Super bowl radio route. What's the matter, Bill? How did this happen?

[00:01:02]

We were just having a conversation. My Fuentes has no communication with us whatsoever. And then he just comes up and starts counting down from five and he points and we're supposed to start.

[00:01:10]

He looks exhausted. He looks terrible. We're all very insecure about how we look right now.

[00:01:15]

Speak for yourself.

[00:01:16]

I look great.

[00:01:17]

The couch is feeling all right.

[00:01:19]

Really? Yeah.

[00:01:19]

The couch is feeling good over here.

[00:01:21]

I mean, Billy's complaining about his hair, that he's pale. You guys are complaining we don't have a makeup person. And you're right, by the way. We don't have a clock. That's why Fuentes is standing, hovering over us. None of us feel very good about ourselves right now, but we should because we're here. We're at the Super bowl. We're at my home. It's radio row. This is a great place to be.

[00:01:38]

I was made for standard definition, is what I were you. Yeah. HD's not my life.

[00:01:43]

That's why I like the Clevelander. Everything was a little fuzzier back then.

[00:01:47]

You look better back then. I think you look great.

[00:01:49]

Right? Thanks, dude.

[00:01:51]

Chris, how you feeling over there?

[00:01:53]

I love my spot. I got a good vision of the entrance there for when people are walking in. I can see Mad Dog set.

[00:02:00]

He's not there yet, by the way.

[00:02:01]

I'm very shocked you're here before here. I am shocked by that. How are you feeling today, Chris Cody?

[00:02:07]

I'm feeling excellent.

[00:02:08]

Yeah.

[00:02:09]

I mean, I actually didn't go too hard yesterday. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling vibrant.

[00:02:14]

I only asked that because the last time I saw you, we were on Fremont Street. Brian Baldinger walked by, juju was dancing in the street. And that's what radio row is all about. I mean, all of a sudden, you're watching a concert, a live street.

[00:02:26]

That wasn't radio row, though.

[00:02:28]

I know, but it's what super bowl week and radio row is all about. You think Baldinger is here without radio row?

[00:02:33]

No, Fremont Street's all about.

[00:02:34]

Yeah, it is.

[00:02:36]

We turned the whole street up. Like, we got there, everybody was silent. There was the graveyard. I gave it a little. The whole party started jumping.

[00:02:45]

Baby, you know what Juju did? He did the thing where, you know, the guy at the wedding who's always dancing with the old lady, dancing with grandma or dancing with the children. Lee.

[00:02:53]

Yeah, that's my boyfriend.

[00:02:56]

It's also juju.

[00:02:57]

Yes, sir. Salute to all the old ladies around the world. I love you.

[00:03:00]

Me too.

[00:03:01]

All of them.

[00:03:01]

Shout out to old ladies.

[00:03:03]

It's so great. Chris, you had a theory, though, Billy, you'll love this. Okay. Chris has a theory about Fremont street and the sphere, and I think he's dead on. I think he's accurate.

[00:03:14]

I mean, hey, everyone's talking about the expensive tickets to go to the sphere. All the different shows, free, 99 on Fremont street. Every hour they got a show, a full show. I'm telling you, I could convince somebody that. I could convince someone that you two was about to come out there, right, in an hour.

[00:03:28]

So I told Chris, I'm going to see you two Wednesday night. So for people who don't know Fremont street, it kind of has this.

[00:03:35]

You're going to see you two on Wednesday night.

[00:03:37]

I am. Yeah. Yes.

[00:03:38]

Breaking those.

[00:03:39]

He invited me last night, and I was like, you don't have a ticket for me.

[00:03:42]

So the reason this came up is because I do have a ticket. Possibly, if you want to go the old possible, you walk down Fremont street and you look upstairs, they're controlling what it is, you see, much like this fear. And so Chris's theory was this fear ripped off Fremont street, and I'm not certain he's incorrect. And then I told him I was going to you too on Wednesday night, and Chris responded to me, listen, bring your wireless headsets, take whatever it is you're going to take, put on you two, and I'll put some stuff up there. And for $3.99, you could just watch YouTube right here with me.

[00:04:19]

It's a discounted sphere, monstreet.

[00:04:21]

Yeah.

[00:04:21]

And it's just as good man.

[00:04:22]

Right?

[00:04:22]

I mean, I haven't been to this sphere, but we were having a great time last night in our sphere.

[00:04:26]

Yeah, we were ski.

[00:04:30]

You guys aren't buying Chris's theory.

[00:04:32]

I'm not going to lie. Sphere. A little underwhelming. Thank you.

[00:04:36]

What do you mean?

[00:04:37]

It looks smaller than I thought.

[00:04:38]

It looks so much smaller than I thought. And we haven't been to it yet, or up close to it, but when we were landing at the airport yesterday, and I took a little picture out my window, and I was like, that's it. I feel like I played indoor soccer at a sphere bigger than that.

[00:04:50]

Really? Yeah. You were not impressed?

[00:04:52]

No. But you did press up inside. There also wasn't anything on it when we landed. It was just mostly black. And I was like, I thought there was supposed to be, like, a little cute, little smiley face, like at the Formula One race.

[00:05:01]

Nope.

[00:05:01]

No smiley face.

[00:05:02]

So we are all saying that the sphere, without taking a step inside the sphere, that it's overrated.

[00:05:08]

I've been to Epcot center. Same thing.

[00:05:10]

Exactly.

[00:05:10]

Same thing.

[00:05:11]

Thank you.

[00:05:11]

Really?

[00:05:11]

I'm not saying that. Dolan. Invite me to the spirit. Dolan, I salute you.

[00:05:15]

Hey, if I see dead and co there with Stu this summer, maybe I'll change my mind.

[00:05:18]

We're going to invited everyone.

[00:05:21]

Lucy's going. Jess is going. Chris is actually coming to a show with me. Juju's coming to a show with me. This is very exciting.

[00:05:29]

I invited my dad, too, so he's also coming. Really?

[00:05:33]

Didn't your dad name you after a dead song?

[00:05:35]

No, he named our dog after Jerry Garcia. They were huge dead fans.

[00:05:42]

There's a song called Loose Lucy. She told me.

[00:05:44]

So I'm nervous. It would be a weird thing to name your daughter after loose. That was my thought.

[00:05:50]

Just Lucy.

[00:05:51]

That. So I was a little nervous. I was named after loose Lucy. They just liked the name. I'm pretty sure that if my dad had his choice, he would have named me Jerry after Jerry Garcia instead of our dog.

[00:06:00]

Why couldn't he?

[00:06:02]

Oh, we already had the dog named Jerry. It would be weird to have a dog named Jerry and a kid named Jerry. It's been done.

[00:06:08]

Are you guys excited to be here? Juju, are you excited to be here?

[00:06:11]

Yes. I'm the most excited I've been all year.

[00:06:13]

Really?

[00:06:14]

It's February, but just trust me, this is big.

[00:06:16]

It's early.

[00:06:17]

Yes, sir. So this is as excited as I've been since the last time I was at Radio Row.

[00:06:22]

All right.

[00:06:22]

Radio row is so fun. I love it.

[00:06:24]

And you got to celebrate this part of it. The Monday morning, it's a calm before the storm. Empty tables.

[00:06:30]

Yes.

[00:06:31]

Scattering of shows going on. This is heaven.

[00:06:33]

The people who are here right now are like the real heroes of NFL media Week. It's 06:00 a.m. Right now in Las Vegas, and they are out here. They've been doing their eastern drivetime talk radio for drink it in hours.

[00:06:46]

You can see it on the screen right there. Drink that in.

[00:06:50]

See you. Maggie Gray.

[00:06:51]

If you do an east coast morning show, you're starting at 03:00 a.m. 03:00 a.m. Like Greg Gianati from WFAN keeps texting me, hey, what are you doing today? I'm done at 07:00 a.m. I'm like, I don't know. I'm working, man. What are you like? That's sad.

[00:07:05]

What a start to my day with Ross Tucker being like, hey, you want to play beer pong later in the week?

[00:07:09]

Did he ask you that?

[00:07:10]

Yeah, it's radio row. Where are you going to play beer pong? I don't know.

[00:07:16]

He said the circa. Apparently something involved with us. He made it seem like it was something I should know about. I was like, you know what, man? I haven't heard about it, but I'm in.

[00:07:24]

Like, you're supposed to be there.

[00:07:25]

We're supposed to be there.

[00:07:26]

That's what Super bowl week's all week.

[00:07:30]

It'S on radio row. Next minute, you're playing beer pong with Ross Tucker and them boys, right?

[00:07:34]

That's what Super bowl week and radio row is.

[00:07:36]

Lombardi's over there.

[00:07:37]

Lombardi is here. We got the bounty house to my right. We have slot machines to my right. This is very exciting, but no dog yet.

[00:07:44]

There's a car there, too.

[00:07:45]

I know. Well, thanks you, Billy.

[00:07:46]

They're giving that away.

[00:07:48]

I don't know.

[00:07:49]

I'd drive that purple truck. I got to be honest.

[00:07:51]

I could see you doing that, actually.

[00:07:52]

I would drive that.

[00:07:53]

It looks like a car that you'd see on I 95 in Miami. Yeah, I like it.

[00:07:58]

You're right, Jess.

[00:07:59]

Yes.

[00:07:59]

It might be on fire, but you'll see it.

[00:08:01]

It'll be there on fire with truck testicles.

[00:08:06]

I wonder what they talked about on the main show today. You think they have doc Rivers on the hot seat?

[00:08:10]

Oh, wow. It should be.

[00:08:11]

Oh, shit. They probably talking about how much they don't like something. The Pablo is there, Amin is there. It's probably hating on the hell out of somebody right now.

[00:08:19]

How are they platform. How dare.

[00:08:26]

True. When we were driving in, we were part of the pre show meeting. Or we were listening in on the pre show meeting to try not to be redundant.

[00:08:34]

Right.

[00:08:34]

And then when we.

[00:08:35]

It's impossible for us to be redundant to.

[00:08:40]

Purple trucks. Well, truck nuts.

[00:08:42]

Yeah.

[00:08:43]

When. When we were driving in, Danny was watching and updated us. And they were honoring Carl Weathers, who passed this weekend.

[00:08:50]

And then they were in peace.

[00:08:51]

They were replaying an interview that they did with him in 2017.

[00:08:54]

Really? So he had all these people in to stimulate him. Dan did. And what he did was play an old interview of Carl Weathers. I am so proud of him. Levitar.

[00:09:03]

My man Stu got strong in him.

[00:09:06]

That is how you do it.

[00:09:08]

Stu, what do you think about maybe we replay them? Replaying the Weathers interview?

[00:09:12]

Yes. Billy just gave you a point. I think Billy said that one earlier.

[00:09:19]

That's why.

[00:09:23]

And you brought a dare.

[00:09:24]

Looking at him, I'm like, is he going to say it?

[00:09:26]

If he's not, I'm going to. No, he would never say your idea.

[00:09:31]

Oh, man, it was early.

[00:09:34]

What do you think of these sets, too, guys?

[00:09:36]

I love the set. I mean, draftKings. I love the fact that it's right when you walk in. It's the biggest set. We're kind of on the outside looking in now, like, you know, I like to be on the inside, Billy. I'm a bit uncomfortable. Like, we have graduated here in a big way, but we're on the outside. So, like, all the big shows are on the outside. McAfee, Chris Sims. I see over there. I see Fox Sports radio, all the national shows. Mad dog are on the outside looking in. I kind of like to be inside.

[00:10:01]

They can't win with you last year. You're out there, you're like, oh, look at all these big sets now. They got you on the big set.

[00:10:07]

I said it's the nicest set of any of the set.

[00:10:10]

We need to be up in the roof.

[00:10:11]

No, he wants a smaller set.

[00:10:13]

No, I want this big set. Plop. Right in the middle of all.

[00:10:19]

Maybe a floating set out in the.

[00:10:21]

Middle of bounty is pretty close to my heaven right there. They're building a house here.

[00:10:25]

Why you want a second floor?

[00:10:27]

It's got multi.

[00:10:27]

They're an elevator.

[00:10:28]

Yes.

[00:10:29]

Salute to bounty.

[00:10:30]

Higgins.

[00:10:30]

There's much elevator. Quicker picker upper. Yes. You were looking at it blindly like I always did.

[00:10:38]

Did any of you all catch any of the Grammys?

[00:10:40]

Yeah.

[00:10:41]

Yes.

[00:10:41]

Holy moly.

[00:10:42]

Weird to have that start at five in the afternoon, right?

[00:10:45]

Yes, it does.

[00:10:46]

Replay, though.

[00:10:47]

I saw it helped, though, because I was in bed at 745 when it was ending.

[00:10:50]

You loved.

[00:10:51]

It was fire. Tracy Chapman. Oh, my God. That was fires came to my eyes. Luke Combs and Tracy Chapman. Salute.

[00:10:56]

I watched that at 05:00 a.m. This morning and I was almost weeping.

[00:10:59]

Right? Yeah, man. Fast car.

[00:11:01]

Was there anything, like controversial what went down outside of that performance? I didn't see nothing.

[00:11:06]

Dozier Cat had a couple of slippages on purpose. I think, as usual, she loves to do that.

[00:11:13]

That's her whole thing.

[00:11:14]

Right? Outside of that. I think it was a great night. Jay Z had a speech about how the Grammys weren't doing right at the Grammys. Salute.

[00:11:22]

Music speaking tonight.

[00:11:25]

Thank you, Chris.

[00:11:30]

Well done.

[00:11:31]

I typed in enews.com to see the happenings of last night. And if you type in enews.com, it takes you to barnesandnoble.com.

[00:11:39]

What?

[00:11:40]

It's eonline.com type@enews.com it takes you to Barnes and Noble.

[00:11:43]

I believe you.

[00:11:44]

What is the best company that you'd want to buy a trick URL for?

[00:11:50]

Wasn't this a plot in the league where they had dallascowboys.com? Wow. It does take you to the Barnes and Noble website.

[00:11:58]

B a salute to b a.

[00:11:59]

To answer your question, Billy, someone, some website where a billionaire is going to be like, here, just give me the domain name. I need this for my football team. I know people who buy up, like, future presidential campaign names. So if they think someone's going to run for president a couple of years, they'll buy, like, you know, people who do Chris Christie, 28 or something, and they'll buy it and see if they can sell it smart. It's honestly brilliant.

[00:12:22]

You feel me? I'm trying to think, like, have they bought a campaign that someone actually ran with?

[00:12:26]

I think they bought one of the Chris Christie campaigns, but I don't think that'd be a low ROI. That Christie was like, we'll just find another way to ran.

[00:12:34]

I'm with Jess on this. Like, how much do you invest in something like that? And how much could it possibly bring you back?

[00:12:38]

I think it's like $15 to get a domain name. And then I'm assuming you could probably get a couple of thousand for the website name if you're doing like, nikki Haley, 24 or something.

[00:12:49]

The commanders remember the person bought up all the names when they were switching their names from the to the new one.

[00:12:55]

Speaking of the commanders, Dan Quinn hello? That's weird.

[00:12:58]

Hey. Oh, we never addressed Chris's doc Rivers thing with the Milwaukee Bucks. I'll address it right now.

[00:13:04]

We can do it next.

[00:13:05]

He has no business being the all star game head coach zero and really has no business being the Milwaukee Bucks head coach zero. They are one in three since doc Rivers took over. Adrian Griffin should coach the eastern Conference all stars.

The Dan Lebettard show with Stu Gotts is brought to you by Bayer Aspirin, the official sponsor of fans'hearts.

[00:14:35]

I love that Stu Gotts is getting so upset about who the coach is in the NBA All Star game. As if you could name like any of the previous NBA All Star game.

[00:14:44]

Coaches at Radio Row on Monday.

[00:14:46]

I love it. Just so furious about it.

[00:14:50]

I'll get back to that in a second. Chris has the stages of what we should be talking about on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday leading up to the Super bowl.

[00:14:56]

That's right.

[00:14:57]

But the all star game, and especially who coaches the NBA All Star game, means a lot to me.

[00:15:02]

Okay, you couldn't even say it with a straight face.

[00:15:07]

I started laughing halfway.

[00:15:08]

I mean, we were having like a really lighthearted radio row opening segment and you ended it with like a rant about doc Rivers being ashamed of himself or something.

[00:15:16]

How do you feel about the NBA all Star game draft where it's just two people drafting teams. I don't care that he doesn't care.

[00:15:24]

I just care about who coaches the team.

[00:15:26]

I was hoping you cared because it's the return of east versus West this year.

[00:15:29]

For me, it's more about what happened with Adrian Griffin and the fact that doc Rivers is an overrated head coach.

[00:15:35]

Do you know who the other head coach is in the NBA all star game this year?

[00:15:39]

So we have doc in the. Huh. The Western Conference NBA coach. So it's the guy. This is me, Phil, about.

[00:15:49]

You're not going to get it.

[00:15:50]

Making it seem like he didn't understand the question.

[00:15:55]

So it wasn't Mike Malone. Devon Nuggets.

[00:15:59]

You're not going to get it. I'm sorry?

[00:16:01]

I'm not going to get it?

[00:16:02]

I don't think you're going to get it.

[00:16:03]

I don't think so either.

[00:16:04]

Here's a hint.

[00:16:06]

If we told you the team name, would you get it?

[00:16:08]

Juju.

[00:16:11]

Juju. Explain the hint. I still don't think he'll get it.

[00:16:15]

Anthony Edwards.

[00:16:17]

Oh, God. Who's the Timberwolves head coach?

[00:16:21]

You could give me all the guesses in the world. I don't know who that is.

[00:16:25]

It used to be flip Saunders.

[00:16:26]

Hey, they should have sent a mean here. He could have helped us with this.

[00:16:28]

You're right. Yes, but Billy Cunningham, Rick Adelman, all those names mean something to me. Why? Because they coached in the NBA all star game, I think, but I don't know.

[00:16:39]

But you're right about Doc, though. He's one in three. How is you the coach of the all star team? Like the transitional coach, the interim? He won his game. And you came in and stunk up the set, and now you're the coach. And you was his mentor, Adrian Griffin's mentor. What kind of shit is this?

[00:16:58]

He has come out and been like, it's ridiculous that I'm doing this.

[00:17:01]

Please.

[00:17:01]

I should send the staff.

[00:17:04]

Seriously. What's ridiculous? The fact that he's the Bucks coach? Because that's also ridiculous.

[00:17:08]

I'm just saying at least he's not like, I'm happy. He at least had the right attitude of, I just got here, the staff should just go. But it's still ridiculous. To the point. Last night, the Jazz were up twelve entering the fourth quarter and won by 15. The Bucks got outscored 40 to 13 in the fourth quarter. This is not just like, oh, they're getting. They got their ass kicked in the fourth quarter.

[00:17:28]

I know. Can you explain what happened towards the end of that game.

[00:17:31]

Well, no, you're talking about me Nuggets.

[00:17:35]

We were at the sports book. Juju and Chris were sweating out a big bet that they made.

[00:17:39]

Of course, like you do at the circa late at night. You have a second half bet on the Nuggets to cover ten and a half.

[00:17:44]

You haven't lived, so you have a second half.

[00:17:47]

They went into the half down three, so they needed to win by eight for us to cover with 30 seconds left. They're up by nine. They have the ball. We're like, okay, if they get a bucket here, we are.

[00:17:58]

Good.

[00:17:58]

So what do the Nuggets do? They dribble out and just take the violation. So now the Portland, oh, no. Gets the ball back with 12 seconds left. And we're all thinking they're going to just go get an easy layup and blow this for us. But respect and honor entered the frame and Chauncey Billups, since they dribbled it out, they couldn't come back at this point. So the Blazers just dribbled it out and didn't go for the layup. So we covered.

[00:18:24]

Yes, to Juju's credit, he said Chauncey Billups would not do that. When the other coach surrenders, Chauncey surrenders.

[00:18:30]

If it was a men's college basketball game, you would have been there for another hour before it ended.

[00:18:34]

Respect and honor is why we covered that.

[00:18:37]

Integrity salute to Chauncey Billers, man. Big game billers.

[00:18:40]

We were alive. Never been so excited just to see somebody dribble for like 9 seconds.

[00:18:44]

Mr. Big shot. No shot, though.

[00:18:48]

Sounds like you guys kind of got after it last night. Lucy and I went to bed very early. You guys went out to Fremont street. You went to the sports mean no invite either. That was kind of.

[00:18:58]

You guys did say you're both like.

[00:19:00]

I would have appreciated the invite.

[00:19:02]

The look in y'all eyes when we left radio road yesterday and going back, I was like, I'm not bothering them sisters. They will bite me.

[00:19:09]

We wish bed so early. I was in my jam jams by like 645.

[00:19:13]

Were you really?

[00:19:14]

Oh, yeah.

[00:19:15]

But Lucy, you were telling us you watched the Grammys twice, but had no idea you were watching.

[00:19:22]

And then it was like, I went to bed at probably like 838 45 and it was like 815. And I was just watching the Grammys and I was like, man, they've been going for like three, 4 hours at this point. And then I had realized just now when you said they repeated it, that I was just watching the beginning of the Grammys again.

[00:19:41]

Nice.

[00:19:41]

Didn't even notice.

[00:19:43]

Are you guys excited for the football game? Which Super bowl? For the 49 ers for the Chiefs? For Mahomes.

[00:19:49]

It's early. We don't have to talk about.

[00:19:50]

I'm just wondering, though.

[00:19:51]

Yeah. I don't want to blow all my Super bowl content on Monday.

[00:19:55]

We're not blowing all the Super bowl content. But we are at the Super bowl. We're on radio row.

[00:19:59]

But opening night hasn't happened yet.

[00:20:02]

You're right.

[00:20:03]

The afterglow of the Pro bowl is still on us.

[00:20:05]

I would like to go to media night tonight if you guys want to go at the stadium. Yeah, we all want to go.

[00:20:08]

We all have to go.

[00:20:09]

What do you mean, you have to go?

[00:20:10]

I'm obligated to be.

[00:20:13]

I'm just choosing to go.

[00:20:14]

That's why I'm here.

[00:20:15]

Would you go if you didn't have to be there?

[00:20:19]

Maybe not.

[00:20:19]

I don't know.

[00:20:20]

That's a good question.

[00:20:21]

Open mics are a problem because I'm just cackling into my mic right now. Normally, if we're in the studio, I'll just turn it off. But this whole. Now I know what it's like to be stu on godless football, just laughing into my mic all day.

[00:20:32]

Thank you.

[00:20:33]

You crack me up.

[00:20:33]

What are you distracted by?

[00:20:35]

I'm not. I'm wondering.

[00:20:36]

You're looking around. You're not looking at anyone. What are you looking at?

[00:20:39]

I'm just looking to see who's here. If any of my friends are here, it's what you do on radio row. You just see who's walking by. You might ask them to.

[00:20:45]

Did you see your friend from last year's here? Tony Bruno is already here hanging out.

[00:20:50]

I already did an interview with Tony Bruno yesterday. Yesterday. Salute to Tony Bruno Sunday night.

[00:20:58]

Because he's Tony Bruno.

[00:20:59]

Because he never stops. Show business never stops.

[00:21:02]

Right.

[00:21:04]

And also on the football game, I hope Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift win this game so bad. Just because all the haters that don't like Taylor Swift, I want y'all to drink all summer long. Daddy, give him taylor swag surf. Let's call it the Taylor swerve. Let's call it the Travis Kelsey fade. Let's call everything. I'm with it, brother. Take over Juju.

[00:21:25]

I think one of the problems with what you just said, and I guess some of the reason as to why people are annoyed by all this, Taylor Swift isn't winning anything if they win the Super bowl. Right. But you're just like, I want Taylor to win the Super Bowl.

[00:21:37]

Taylor was the biggest winner of this NFL season, right?

[00:21:39]

She wins love.

[00:21:40]

Well, no, the NFL was the biggest winner of this.

[00:21:43]

They both won.

[00:21:44]

Taylor has an album coming out in a month that she announced, like, yesterday.

[00:21:47]

The publicity was good on both sides.

[00:21:49]

Yes.

[00:21:50]

It was mutually beneficial.

[00:21:51]

Yes.

[00:21:51]

I didn't love that part of the. I saw that clip of the Grammys Taylor went up to accept, and she's just like, my album comes out and I'm going to tweet out a picture. It's like, where's the thing?

[00:21:58]

I don't know.

[00:21:58]

I just felt like that was a little efficient. She said that she's run out of people to think the first thing she said was, this is my 13th Grammy. I was just like, that's a.

[00:22:12]

What if Patrick Mahomes was a Super bowl? And he's like, this is my fourth Super bowl interview. People be so mad.

[00:22:19]

I hope he does that now, stu, I do have a breakdown what we.

[00:22:23]

Should be talking about each day. I didn't want to correct.

[00:22:28]

I don't know who the.

[00:22:31]

I gave him an extra one. All right.

[00:22:33]

I'm saying we don't have to do it.

[00:22:34]

My personal record.

[00:22:35]

I do have a breakdown of what we should be talking about each day at this.

[00:22:38]

Wow. All right.

[00:22:39]

For me, Monday is unit talk, right? We break down the units. Who has the best d line? Who's got the best receivers?

[00:22:45]

Who's got this right?

[00:22:46]

Tuesday for me is head coach debate.

[00:22:48]

Okay.

[00:22:49]

I mean, this one's kind of, actually, this is a tough one. Everyone loves Andy Reed. Kyle Shanahan is coming for his stuff.

[00:22:55]

Well, get there already, right?

[00:22:57]

I'm just saying.

[00:22:58]

We said that in 2020.

[00:22:59]

How about you take some of his stuff? Exactly. Take a thing.

[00:23:02]

How about not all his stuff, just a thing.

[00:23:04]

Where's the stuts? Kyle Shanahan, blah, blah, blah.

[00:23:08]

Really? Brock birdie, blah, blah.

[00:23:10]

I think we're just bored with how great he's been.

[00:23:12]

That good?

[00:23:13]

Not great. I think we're talking about the two best. I mean, Tomlin's in there. The two best head coaches going right now.

[00:23:20]

That's for Tuesday.

[00:23:21]

That are employed because Bill Belichick.

[00:23:23]

Everyone stops today. That's not Monday's topics.

[00:23:27]

Would like a word.

[00:23:28]

That's true. Monday we talk units.

[00:23:30]

Only Monday's units. Wednesdays we get to. This is kind of a boring debate in this super bowl. Quarterbacks, right. That's Wednesday.

[00:23:38]

We can skip Wednesday.

[00:23:40]

It's going to be great. I got a whole hour and a.

[00:23:42]

Half on Broadway, but not really Wednesday.

[00:23:45]

Wednesday. Save it. Thursday.

[00:23:47]

We do.

[00:23:47]

Who wants it more?

[00:23:48]

Okay.

[00:23:49]

It's just about, like, no more x's and o's. Just who wants it?

[00:23:53]

Vibes 49.

[00:23:54]

And then, of course, Friday predictions. I mean, that's what we do.

[00:23:58]

It's a good run of week.

[00:23:59]

So you guys want to stick to the schedule?

[00:24:01]

Yeah.

[00:24:01]

So at some point in this show today, we'll do units. Okay, so, everyone, think about your favorite units. G unit. Unit.

[00:24:08]

Solid, $0.50.

[00:24:09]

So how do we do units? Just explain this to the crew here.

[00:24:12]

I think the dbs for the Chiefs are really going to answer the bell. I was just faking it.

[00:24:18]

We're each going to pick our favorite.

[00:24:20]

Just to be clear, you said we're supposed to talk about units, and then he asks you, and you're like, I.

[00:24:24]

Just made that up.

[00:24:25]

Did you prepare a unit?

[00:24:26]

This is your idea.

[00:24:28]

I'm not giving out the good unit stuff now.

[00:24:30]

When are we going to get to it?

[00:24:31]

We're prepping the unit. Are we doing unit talk now?

[00:24:33]

No.

[00:24:33]

We're running out of time for today's show.

[00:24:36]

I think we just started.

[00:24:38]

I think we only have a segment left in today's show, right?

[00:24:41]

I believe so.

[00:24:42]

All right. We can do backers in that unit.

[00:24:43]

Mike Fuentes looks confused. We will all say we're doing 2 hours today, apparently.

[00:24:48]

Why don't we double this for Wednesday? We're not going to do quarterbacks, are we? Well, Juju's going to do quarterbacks. We give him half the show.

[00:24:54]

That's Wednesday.

[00:24:55]

Juju doing an hour and a half on Brock. I would love to listen to that Brock Purdy.

[00:25:00]

Juju, I'm not certain you could do 5 minutes. Say this respectfully.

[00:25:03]

I don't know if I.

[00:25:04]

5 minutes on Brock Bird.

[00:25:05]

What's better than Mr. Irrelevant going from the last pick? Look, don't get me started.

[00:25:11]

That's for Wednesday.

[00:25:14]

But I want Iowa State.

[00:25:16]

No, sorry.

[00:25:17]

Never read Iowa.

[00:25:18]

That's why I say sorry.

[00:25:19]

Juju on Wednesday. Can we try to have you talk 90 minutes straight about Brock birdie?

[00:25:23]

Yes, you can.

[00:25:24]

We can start with 90 seconds. Not to put too much pressure on him.

[00:25:28]

He offered 90 minutes. I'll take it.

[00:25:30]

Why are we starting the Monday show being mean to Brock?

[00:25:32]

No.

[00:25:33]

I have niceness for him. I think he should be celebrated.

[00:25:37]

I mean, I know why Lucy is. I'm a hater.

[00:25:40]

I think we should put him on a pedestal because he's a hero for children everywhere. You don't have to be the number one draft pick to make it to the Super bowl and go against Taylor Swift and have a whole army of swifties out on your ass. Look, 90 minutes.

[00:25:53]

I agree with Stephen.

[00:25:55]

Him.

[00:25:55]

I agree with Stephen a. Smith where I saw a clip of him. This is a game for Brock Birdie. If he wins against Patrick Mahomes here, we have to respect him. Whereas if he doesn't, we can kind of just put him where he is now. Like, he's a fine quarterback, but we don't know if he can. Quarterbacks are a unit.

[00:26:14]

They have to beat the Chiefs.

[00:26:16]

That's a good point.

[00:26:17]

Purdy has to be the reason that they beat the Chiefs.

[00:26:20]

I mean, he's the reason that they're in the Super bowl. In my opinion, those late game scrambles are what we wanted Lamar to do.

[00:26:27]

No, but I'm saying for him to get Max credit, Max respect, you have to beat Patrick Mahomes in the Super bowl. But be the reason that you beat Patrick Mahomes in the Super bowl. Meaning it can't be McCaffrey, the defense or anything else. It has to be Brock.

[00:26:40]

So everyone has to play worse, but.

[00:26:42]

He has to play great.

[00:26:44]

Yes.

[00:26:45]

This is going to be a great topic for when.

[00:26:47]

Perfect. You don't get it.

[00:26:48]

Yes.

[00:26:49]

He also looks like Dana Carvey from master of the sky. Turtle. Turtle. But that's neither here nor there.

[00:26:56]

The Dan Lebitard show with stu guts is presented by one eight hundredflowers.com draftkings. Official flowers for valentines.

[00:27:13]

Really a scene here at Radio Row in Las Vegas. People are filing in. I mean, Billy says it every year. Monday, radio row. Not a great day.

[00:27:21]

This is our first actual Monday here. I kind of dig it. I can kind of see what's going around. By the time people get here, I'll be like that person that's been at the hotel like a day or two before, and I'm like, look, here's the water slide. This is where you do this. This is where you do that.

[00:27:34]

Sal Palantonio, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:27:37]

South pals here.

[00:27:37]

South Pal's in the building. Where? How about that?

[00:27:40]

Right behind.

[00:27:43]

There he is.

[00:27:44]

Well, the Super bowl has begun. I keep blocking him. Hey, Sal. How are you, sir? That's what you do. Radio row, Super bowl week. You just wave.

[00:27:57]

He has no idea who you are.

[00:27:58]

He does know who I am, Billy. I'm not certain he likes who I am, but he does know. You know, not. I want him to walk away a little. Well, Lucy, you're making a face.

[00:28:15]

I'm not making any comments. I don't know what you're talking about. When I joined the Levitard show, I found out about so many beefs that I am now, like, by association part of with people. And I didn't know that was one of them. But now I do know it is.

[00:28:29]

Lucy, you again. You're making faces.

[00:28:31]

Did you not. I'm not going to comment on anything.

[00:28:35]

Have you had any bridges burned professionally? Chess, because of the relationship?

[00:28:40]

I had one bridge burned professionally, but we've already talked about it on the show. It was a while ago. It involved someone who sang a song that was on before a football game every Sunday night.

[00:28:50]

Oh, yeah. No, but that wasn't because of this show. No, I'm saying, has this show cost you?

[00:28:54]

Well, I did get in a fight with like, Mark Schlereth randomly once. Not like a real fight, but we had a back and forth and I didn't realize that. I think he automatically didn't like that I had Lebatard show in my bio. I don't know. It happened a while ago, though, so the details are fuzzy. But I remember being like, oh, so the man 101 thing was not like he didn't think that was funny.

[00:29:14]

He didn't like that.

[00:29:14]

Yeah.

[00:29:15]

You're welcome.

[00:29:16]

I feel like you have a good relationship with stink.

[00:29:18]

I don't know, really. A few times we've asked him to come on, he has said no. Well, so I'm not certain where in the pudding.

[00:29:27]

There's slot machines everywhere. Yeah, I know, but we're here at Radio Row and there's slot machines behind us. I feel like they're just looking to get. Can players bet on slot machines or not? I'm confused.

[00:29:40]

I just googled it. It said non participating team personnel can play casino games, but can never bet sports or go to the sports book.

[00:29:48]

But what about participating team personnel like.

[00:29:53]

The Chiefs and the 49?

[00:29:54]

Yeah.

[00:29:54]

They are staying like 40 minutes outside of Vegas and they're not allowed. They're not allowed to step sports book related.

[00:30:00]

But you can't step out of a car and not be in a sports book here.

[00:30:03]

I know. Everything is at. We're walking through circa to get to the car every morning. It would be hard to stay there if you were a participating team personnel.

[00:30:14]

This is my first time in Vegas.

[00:30:15]

Is it?

[00:30:16]

Place is. This place is just. I got here at night, so I didn't see much and we drove and it was still dark, so I still didn't see much. But the sun was coming up. And I just saw all the buildings. It's like a little kid was in charge of designing a city. Like, there's a castle someplace. There's a pyramid, there's a sphinx.

[00:30:36]

But what's inside of all of them is not kid friendly. No, right, but you're right. It's like a kid design. A little magic world.

[00:30:45]

We're coming up with a little bingo cart. Not to spoil anything. By the time people listen to this, it may already be like on social, but we're coming up with, like, a little bingo card of things that are going to happen this week.

[00:30:54]

Billy.

[00:30:55]

And if I had sea boobs on the bingo card, we would have crossed walking down Fremont street.

[00:31:02]

Where'd you see boobs?

[00:31:04]

Put it on the poll. Are you seeing the boob? If there's a pasty.

[00:31:07]

So it was a woman.

[00:31:08]

I'm not putting that on the pole.

[00:31:11]

Because then the Miami people will see and be like, what's going on down there? There was a woman, and she was dressed as a nun. And so she was covered head to toe except for her tits. So it was like a specifically designed. So just her tits were out. It was tasty. Wow.

[00:31:26]

Hail Mary over the nipples. Was she, like, doing work? Was she affiliated with a church?

[00:31:32]

You want people to take pictures with her and you give her $5 and you get a picture.

[00:31:39]

Literally.

[00:31:40]

That business does not seem sustainable. I mean, I'm sorry.

[00:31:43]

New. This is new.

[00:31:44]

She probably makes more than we do.

[00:31:45]

I'll stop it.

[00:31:46]

They have little circles where you can stand to panhandle or play a song or. They didn't always have those circles. You used to kind of just be able to, like, if I got a guitar, I can just plop.

[00:31:57]

Here.

[00:31:57]

They control now how many people they have of them by little. I don't know if you have to pay rent on these circles or if once they're all filled, you just can't do it. It was so weird. Like, they put these people in little circles.

[00:32:09]

I like Fremont.

[00:32:10]

We should do that. Stugats.

[00:32:11]

Why?

[00:32:12]

Just go out there, meet the people, get some subscribers.

[00:32:14]

Circle. Just giving hot takes to people.

[00:32:16]

Yeah. God bless football. Build up some range.

[00:32:20]

We'll do it later today, Billy. We'll see.

[00:32:23]

Seems like a quick turnaround.

[00:32:25]

I can't believe this is your first time in Vegas. I'm shocked by that.

[00:32:28]

I strike someone that spent a lot of time in Vegas.

[00:32:30]

I figured everyone makes one trip, a bachelor party, something to Las Vegas. Now, Lucy, is this your first time in Vegas?

[00:32:35]

No, I was here for the NFL. Draft, like two years ago. I smoked so many cigarettes.

[00:32:41]

So proud of you.

[00:32:42]

Really?

[00:32:42]

I could use one right now.

[00:32:43]

So many cigarettes. And then all my coworkers got Covid.

[00:32:45]

Except for me, the chain smoker.

[00:32:48]

Chain smokers have a residency right now. Salute to them. Check them out.

[00:32:51]

You got a residency.

[00:32:52]

Wait, did you guys read that? Like, I think smokers and marijuana smokers, they were less prone to get Covid.

[00:32:58]

I did read a study like that, but I don't feel confident in repeating it on air because I didn't do the research.

[00:33:04]

You know what Covid taught me? There's a lot of studies, so many studies that you can find one that helps you believe whatever you want.

[00:33:11]

Do chain smoking with the chain smokers has to go on the bingo card then.

[00:33:15]

Not to be. Look, neither here nor there. But I have not got Covid yet.

[00:33:19]

Really?

[00:33:20]

Ever.

[00:33:21]

I've never gotten right. And I do partake, not saying it's facts or fiction.

[00:33:27]

What else is not promoting the usage.

[00:33:29]

Of not promoting, neither here nor there.

[00:33:31]

What else is on the bingo card? Can we say it? Is this like a private thing between you and Chris and you're just checking it off as it goes?

[00:33:38]

We're thinking of making an actual one because there is a lot already, like, going over on the per diem that is on the bingo card. Did that already? Yeah.

[00:33:46]

Really?

[00:33:47]

What'd you get?

[00:33:48]

We had lunch.

[00:33:49]

Oh, I thought lunch was covered.

[00:33:51]

Time out.

[00:33:51]

You had lunch and went over your per diem?

[00:33:54]

We don't have a particularly large per diem.

[00:33:58]

I don't even know what that means or what per diem.

[00:34:01]

So they haven't ever gotten.

[00:34:02]

I'm not going to tell you. And that way, when you go over, you can just be never.

[00:34:06]

They've never given me, like, extra juice. I always pay for everything when I go places.

[00:34:10]

Right.

[00:34:12]

It should be like an automatic, like the way you get paid. It comes through that way.

[00:34:15]

It's not like, oh, salute. Wow.

[00:34:17]

So you have a certain amount of money, Juju, you could spend every day.

[00:34:20]

Juju's owed some money here.

[00:34:25]

I took care of that burger last.

[00:34:28]

I'm just going to stick around stew all week because I know whatever we spend, he'll get away with, man.

[00:34:34]

I have attacked my mini bar.

[00:34:36]

I don't have anything in my mini bar.

[00:34:40]

I have two waters, too, and I was wondering if that's free or if that's charged.

[00:34:44]

I drunk the hell out of the waters instantly. When I got back, I'm going to.

[00:34:47]

Guess that nothing is free.

[00:34:49]

It's probably $30 each.

[00:34:50]

Well, more than half per diem.

[00:34:53]

Wait a second. What is the per diem? Can someone tell me what it is?

[00:34:56]

It's $50.

[00:34:57]

Don't worry about it, Vegas.

[00:34:59]

Not for you.

[00:35:00]

You have a different arrangements to gods like you have a different setup.

[00:35:03]

Well, I've been paying for everything, man. I paid for my first night at the hotel. What are you guys talking about?

[00:35:08]

What?

[00:35:08]

I did? Yes.

[00:35:09]

Well, that was because you got here earlier.

[00:35:11]

How big is your room?

[00:35:12]

I got here outside the window that we were supposed to.

[00:35:15]

Yeah. How many square feet is your room?

[00:35:18]

It's big. I'm not going to lie to you guys.

[00:35:22]

My room is bigger than my apartment, people.

[00:35:23]

Where you're staying.

[00:35:25]

Stu, 52nd floor.

[00:35:26]

All right, come on.

[00:35:27]

Why are you doing that, Billy?

[00:35:29]

Do you know the layers of security at the circa. I've never found one key card.

[00:35:35]

Sugatch, you say it's a level security. You just show an id and you get to let in. What do you mean?

[00:35:41]

No, you have to put your key to the elevator.

[00:35:45]

Don't tell people what the security. It's crazy.

[00:35:47]

Oh, my God. I'm sorry.

[00:35:49]

Friends talking. Last year we're on air.

[00:35:53]

Okay, so last year we stayed at.

[00:35:55]

Different fourth floor is what I said.

[00:35:56]

We stayed at different hotels at the win, right?

[00:35:59]

Yes.

[00:36:00]

Last year we stayed at different hotels. So juju, Danny and myself were at one hotel and Stugats was at another hotel. We didn't know Stugats'hotel situation until the last night that.

[00:36:10]

Oh, my God. Where did he stay?

[00:36:12]

It wasn't a hotel, dude.

[00:36:13]

He stayed at like a ranch.

[00:36:14]

It was like where rich people pasted this something. And, you know, it's like, in Scottsdale.

[00:36:20]

It was ridiculous. It was like, this is like one of those fake wellness retreat places that rich people go to when they're in rehab. And it's like, let me just go to a really nice place. It was absurd. There was villas everywhere. You were not embarrassed?

[00:36:34]

I was embarrassed.

[00:36:34]

You were not embarrassed at all.

[00:36:36]

Oh, my God. Shut up.

[00:36:37]

You showed us.

[00:36:37]

You played golf there. I'm sure my favorite thing, the NFL media hotel is usually like the airport Marriott. This year it's the Luxor and it's next door to us. And you Guys have already talked about the giant Dorito. But it cracks me up that, like, Peter King's walking around the Luxor, like, staying. It's a smoking hotel. It's old school Vegas.

[00:36:59]

I kind of wish we were at the media hotel.

[00:37:01]

Honestly, me three, it's a fun bar to go to.

[00:37:05]

And people watching is probably, and I.

[00:37:06]

Doubt Peter King's actually staying there.

[00:37:08]

Right?

[00:37:09]

I forgot to buy Peter King a present. I was going to buy him something and I didn't because we washed dishes.

[00:37:13]

You're supposed to buy him something.

[00:37:14]

Get him a scrub daddy.

[00:37:16]

No, not a scrub daddy. I was going to get him like, it's a scrub. No, you turn it on and it's like a spinning.

[00:37:23]

I know what you're talking about.

[00:37:27]

We just become best friends.

[00:37:28]

So I have one of those for the baby bottles. And then when I was washing dishes talking to him, I showed him. He's like, that's great. My birthday is June 10. Can you get me one?

[00:37:37]

Oh, you got time?

[00:37:38]

Well, no, I was just going to give it to him here because he's going to forget by June 10.

[00:37:41]

Can you order?

[00:37:43]

I was going to Amazon, prime it to my hotel and then come bring it to him. But then it's also weird to just show up and be like, hey, remember me? Here's a.

[00:37:51]

It's a good bit, though, and we're doing everything for content this week.

[00:37:54]

What's on the bingo board?

[00:37:56]

Well, the per diem's on the bingo board. What else is on the board?

[00:37:59]

Well, you're in complete control, it sounds.

[00:38:00]

Like, to come, we need to fill the whole bingo board. So we need to come up with more bingo board topics.

[00:38:05]

Somebody getting us in trouble.

[00:38:08]

Dan getting frazzled when he sees his.

[00:38:10]

Name rhymes with Reed.

[00:38:16]

I was trying to pivot away and make fun of Dan, but Chris, I went to make fun of Tony.

[00:38:21]

Do you guys just forget that people are going to hear all of these.

[00:38:26]

Things you're complaining about?

[00:38:28]

Who's complaining?

[00:38:29]

Predictions.

[00:38:30]

No one's complaining.

[00:38:31]

Unit talk.

[00:38:32]

We're happy to.

[00:38:33]

I like most important unit, I think it's the Chiefs wide receivers. I think someone from that crew is going to have to have a game.

[00:38:41]

Or they're going to win the game for the 49 ers.

[00:38:44]

Do you guys hear Mike flints every time we bring something up that he doesn't want us talking about? Talking in your headset saying, move on from this ten times already.

[00:38:52]

He's like, stop talking about that.

[00:38:54]

Tell everyone else that, too.

[00:38:56]

Well, he's also coming to me apparently to get control of this situation. What do you want me to say? Mike Flanders says you can't talk about that.

[00:39:05]

He's telling me, move on from the topic of Mike doing a bad job.

[00:39:08]

Producing the show tomorrow. Head coaches.

[00:39:12]

Wait, I want it. Billy, what are some of the things that Fuentes has said in your head.

[00:39:15]

He didn't like the per diem talk at all.

[00:39:17]

He didn't like that.

[00:39:18]

Not a fan.

[00:39:19]

Hey, we're putting it on the social graphic bingo board, so I feel like that means it's fair game.

[00:39:23]

And I like your boots, by the way, sister.

[00:39:25]

Thank you. I like your shoes.

[00:39:26]

Thank you kindly.
