You're listening to DraftKings network.

This is The Dan Levator Show with the Stu Guts podcast.

We are near the end of the week here. Dan and Mike are still out in La. Dan covering the Lake training camp. Mike covering the Clippers training camp. So we got that covered. Billy is here. There's a lot to get to today. The Panthers season starts tonight. We're hanging a second place banner.

Well, they're one and two.

Yeah, it started already.

I mean, the home starts tonight. Their home portion of their schedule starts tonight. Hockey started?

Yes, it started last week. Tuesday.

We'll get to that in a second.

They had three straight road games to start the season.

That's unfair.

Ridiculous.

Terrible. For conference champion on the road.

Three games is terrible.

Now they have four at home in a row.

That's what evens out.

I just wanted to point out that in our pre show meeting, because we're towards the end of the week here, chris blurted out, I still have QB sneaks in the holster. QB.

Slides.

Slides. I was not listening, and I will get to that in just a second. Hockey started?

Yeah, a week ago.

That's unbelievable. What's? The Panthers record.

One or two. We just said it.

Steve Martin, are you not listening to anything anyone's saying?

No, I'm trying to get to something because Tony threw me off my game before we started today because he walked in here and he started to talk to you about licking things.

I thought he was high.

He said that to you guys, too? He said it to me, too, yes. He was like, you can feel anything.

Okay, hold on.

Let me explain it, because the way Chris would say it, there needs to.

Be some sort of context here that we didn't get either, because we just got the back end of this.

So I'm wearing linen shorts today, right?

Fantastic shorts.

So everybody was saying, oh, where are they from? Where they from? So I had Mike Fuentes check them. They're from? H m. And then Chris is like, oh, let me get them. So I was like, oh, you want to feel them?

I literally was like, Give me yeah, right now.

So he feels them, and he's like, I know what they felt like before I even touched them. And I was like, you know how you can tell how anything feels? You think about licking it. Your tongue already knows what that thing feels like.

So with the context, it still makes.

No sense to me. And this is why I was thrown off to start the show. I'm sorry. This happened moments ago.

I think he's onto something.

Think about licking he's on something.

Well, maybe think about licking anything with your tongue. You know what it feels like if.

You'Re listening to this right now, unless you're driving, close your eyes and just take us. Tony, what are we feeling?

Think about something that so let's say the microphone sock.

Right.

Think about licking the microphone sock. You already know how your tongue is going to feel.

Yes, I feel it.

So you know how it feels, right?

Yeah.

Lick the counter.

Right.

The table that you're sitting at. Very you know what it feels like? Or how about something like well, hold on.

No one's actually licked anything, so no one actually can confirm.

But you never have to lick it.

Right.

It's just thinking.

Well, you would have to to confirm it. Any takers?

Well, touching it with your finger.

Takers on what? Like yeah, okay, I'll lick something. Lick the microphone and touch I'm not licking this microphone. You lick that microphone because you're at my microphone. I'm at Dan's microphone.

Lick this fish. What do you think before dead fish? Yeah, what do you think, fish? This feels like.

We'Ll have to think about it. Right?

You got to think about licking.

Close your eyes. Well, no, you don't. You have to look at it.

Fuzzy.

Fuzzy. Okay.

Fuzzy. Fuzzy.

Let's see here.

I have to lick it.

Putting this to the test like a magic trick.

It doesn't feel fuzzy.

I don't want to lick it.

You could have just pretended like you did while you're doing it.

I actually licked it. No, not fuzzy.

Doesn't look fuzzy.

A little rubbery.

Yeah. Sorry, Tony. A little chew on it. I just licked a dead fish.

Yeah.

Give me something else.

Okay.

Let's try it again.

You want a snake?

Yes.

Why do we have this?

I don't know. All right, what do you guys imagine?

This?

Well, it's you. What do you imagine?

I don't think fuzzy.

You just thought the fish was fuzzy.

You think they're doing this in La?

Yes.

They say rubbery. That's okay. Fuzzy.

Oh, wow.

I can't believe it.

So much for Tony's theory.

Crazy.

He's already touching it.

Yeah, that's the other thing, too.

Yeah.

How about somebody else lick something now?

I'm good.

The theory is you never actually have to lick it. You just think about licking it and you already know what it is.

Did you come up with this theory?

No, I've heard this before.

From where have you heard this before?

Google it.

Look it up.

Look it up.

Google it. Look it up.

Jeremy would be a great New York back of a tabloid headline writer. Really good at that first or first topic bar writer. I wish you'd be so good at that.

It's my dream to write those types of things.

When I see, like, New York Post. Yeah.

And when I see the Get up intros and they're talking about Jalen hurts, struggling and it's everybody that's that's right up my alley. It's everything I wish I could do.

That had to hurts.

It's why I write most of the titles for our episodes, because I'm just constantly making those bad jokes.

So, Chris, is QB slide still in the holster?

It's definitely in the holster. My thought on that is, anytime a quarterback slides, you know how they always they market where the slide starts, but I'm convinced they go back. I swear, sometimes they lose yardage on these runs where they're sliding.

Right. And also the quarterback where the knee goes down, though. Right. That's it.

But I'm telling you, this guy will slide to the 15 yard line, and they mark it back at the nine. Like, I'm telling you, the marks on this they try to punish quarterbacks. I'm telling you, you got to look at this.

Wait at the 15th, and they go back to the nine.

I'm exaggerating on something, but when you're.

Sliding running out of the end zone.

Yeah, but he starts to slide at, like, the ten yard line, and he ends up at the 15th. Right.

And they mark it at the nine.

Is what I was no.

Right.

Okay.

You know, Billy, that I know when you're going up the field, you go.

Up the yard, but you would be sliding at that part of the field.

I'm just saying it's a weird thing.

To why wouldn't you slide that part of the field? You have to slide. When you have to slide, you have to slide. It could work at any part of the field. Semantics.

I have a question for Jess, mainly because I feel like Jess knows college football better than anyone here.

She does.

And it's about the slide rule. And in particular, this has to do with Pickett. No.

Yes, you can.

No, this has to do with the Georgia Tech Miami game. So when I don't think it should have been, because I don't think that he was intentionally sliding. So that play that was going into the end zone, they were saying, oh, they should have stopped that where he was sliding. But I think that that rule applies more when you're actually intending to slide, not when you're falling.

Yeah, I saw people bring that up, but I watched the replay of that, and they didn't show a clear enough angle that I even saw where his knee went down.

But I think no, it wasn't that they weren't saying that his knee went down. They were saying that he started to slide at, like, the two yard line and then went into the end.

There's a still shot of him right before the goal line, where you can just see his body starting.

But he was not intending to slide.

Yeah, he got touched by the Miami.

No, the spirit of that rule is like, you're sliding to avoid getting hit, so they don't want to reward you for a slide, like a five yard slide because the field is wet or whatever. Right. But I don't think that that is applied when someone is simply falling. I think it's when someone's coming at you and you're trying to slide.

Yeah, well, I could be wrong. What happened with Kenny Pickett? The reason that they changed the rule was that he appeared to give himself up like he was sliding in a game. Yeah, he was still at Pit, and they decided, the NCA decided, like, you can't do that anymore.

That was dirty.

Look like you're giving yourself up. Like, that's where you get marked down. It wasn't dirty. It was nifty, I would say, and well within the rules when he did it. Now you can't do that. So, like, you can't pretend like you're going to slide or go down like you're sliding, and then keep running.

But what I'm saying is, in that Georgia Tech Miami game, that would not have been he was falling, right?

Yes.

Another thing that quarterbacks do is they'll be running and they'll be well past the line of scrimmage, and they'll try to deep throw, and the defender's still.

Like, I don't get are you saying you wouldn't?

No, I would.

It's just playing a frantic game. They have no idea where they are on the field.

And it's easy for me with my view of, like, he's clearly past the line of scrimmage, but I get when they're on the field, it's not as easy to tell, but it's just always funny when a guy's ten yards past the line of scrimmage, fake throw, and it gives them an extra couple of yards.

I think anytime someone does a fake throw to you, you would flinch. No matter what you're doing in life, you would flinch.

Unless you're Kobe.

Unless you're Kobe. The only guy who never flinched, ever.

I hate the sideline one also where they pretend that they're going to go out of bounds and then give themselves, like, five more yards because everybody pulls up and they don't want to be the guy that does the late hit. So, like, you go like you're going to go, and then you do a straight line instead. You get an extra, like, four or.

Five toes along the side.

That's a heady play, though, Billy.

It's a heady play. But I feel like once you do that, that rules don't apply. You can lay that person out.

That's another one where I always it's so easy for us to get mad at the defender for the late hit, but that is such a difficult thing. I'm going really fast, really fast, really fast. Oh, he's out of bounds. I got to pull up. Like, we're always like, oh, come on. How do you hit the guy like that?

I would say roughing the passer is probably the most difficult thing to stop yourself from doing.

Oh, it's stupid.

Now you have to pull up when you get close to the quarterback because he's released the ball. It's absurd.

Roughing the passer now is ridiculous.

The downside of this sport being a little safer is that a couple of times a weekend in college and in pro, you're just going to get a really bad call where a guy gets ejected for just making a tackle there was some guy in, like, the Rutgers game. I guess he had his watching Rutgers gambling, gambling again. The crown of his helmet hit the guy in the chest, and this guy's ejected. And they show the replay and he's just tackling him. There's no reason the guy should be ejected, but it's like, all right, I guess I'll take it. I'll allow it if the sport is safer.

It's questionable if it is, though, because the rule is so inconsistently applied that it's hard to really I'm sure someone does have the data on this. I would like to see it because it's so inconsistent that it just doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason.

Remember when Rutgers was having a moment under Greg Shiano?

I feel like they were playing like, he's back.

He's their head coach.

No, not COVID first ten years.

Yeah, I think they did it decently. COVID season.

That's what they're trying to do. They're trying to relive. What you're talking about was the game.

That they had against, like, Louisville or something. I feel like I remember one specific game that it was, like, sold out and it was like a Thursday night, thursday night game. Watching it, it was, like, packed. Like, oh, my. Like, Rutgers is back. And now, obviously they're not, but they did.

And like Chris said, they've been trying to chase that ever since. There's an article that came out this summer about how Rutgers is so not doing well financially despite being in the Big Ten and getting, like, the Big Ten TV check because of the lack of fan support. Like, they can't get a lot of fans to games. Their team is just perennially crappy. And all of these they have tons of expenses that they have to pay, so they're not doing well financially.

It's actually decent this year. The team is decent this year, but they have no fans. Okay.

The game was number three, louisville versus number 15, Rutgers.

Rutgers pulled off the upset 28 25,006.

I'm old.

What is the word? Rutger.

You're so old.

I know, wisconsin. I know that's called Wisconsin because it's in Wisconsin, right?

Hold on, wait, hold on.

Hold the phone.

All right, let's go down.

What is a Rutger that you've always.

Kind of wondered and that you're also like, I get it. Right. Michigan.

You get because got that one.

Michigan.

Michigan State. Right.

Villanova.

Little confused.

Named person.

Okay.

Person. Got it.

What about Rucker? What's a rucker?

Colonel. Rutgers.

Colonel.

Henry?

Rutgers. How about Temple?

Very vague.

Why Temple? Yeah, very vague.

Temple.

Anybody.

Who can Google this game?

Yes, we are.

You get Colorado, though, right?

Put that as the title for this local hour. What's a rucker?

What is it? Does anyone know?

A person?

It's a person.

A rucker is a person. No?

Henry? Rucker.

Rucker Howard.

They're the star of the night.

Only funny to me and you, Roy.

Don Lebotard.

Let's go to 80.

Bo.

Wow. I think Billy typed an eight instead of a B.

Five. Clear as day. Stugats number eight.

It's Chris Corner on the line. CC, go ahead.

This is the Don Levitar show with the stugats.

What are some other examples of these?

So a temple was originally called Baptist Temple, and then it was renamed to Temple College of Philadelphia.

How about Nova?

That's short for Villa.

Villanova. Unless you're talking about Nova Southeastern.

What is villanova? It must be a name, too.

It's in Villanova, Pennsylvania.

Ah place.

Seton hall.

That's gotta be what do we do then? Seton's gotta be a name.

And why are they all yeah.

This is fun.

There was a championship game last night and this was how we started the show.

No, we started the show with I was licking stuff.

Exactly.

We started the show with you can feel things by licking them is how that started licking it.

What what do you have for us, Jess?

The Aces won. They repeated first.

Really?

First team that has repeated in the WNBA in over 20 years.

It was like 2001, right?

Yeah. The Sparks were the last team to do it.

Celebration looks fun. Houston before that, like, bombarding the press conference with music.

They have a lot of fun. Asia Wilson looks like she has a lot of fun.

We like to have fun.

She does like to have fun. They all do. It was a great game, though. I mean, Liberty were like, a second away from taking the lead and forcing up game five, which would have been back in Vegas, but we weren't able to get the rebound. John Cole Jones, like, had the rebound and took a shot, but the Buzer had already gone off after Courtney Vandersloop missed the hard three. But the emotion swing, if you're a Liberty fan at that game, had to have been devastating because then it goes from like, all right, it looks like they got over the crappy third quarter they had. They're going to come back and win it and then nope. Other teams celebrating on our court now.

Our season's over headed towards a dynasty. These Aces.

Yeah.

Back to back.

Jack, did you want a game five ace? Best two words in sports.

I think game four was definitely the best game of this series. It was the closest. It had the most back and forth. The Aces had, I think, a nine and o run in the third quarter. And that was when I was like, oh, okay. When they're playing to form, they are so good. And they had two starters that were out for this game, not including Candace Parker who got hurt before the All Star break. So they were able to win despite a lot know, injuries and things like that. But it was a really good game. You missed out if you didn't get to watch it.

I didn't.

Yeah. I know a lot of people here were watching FIU and Sam Houston State instead, which is fine.

Pause. I had money on FIU, so there you go. Double overtime is FIU was playing a winless team and they were getting five and a half points. Yeah, it was an easy bet.

Well, it took to double overtime for.

It to.

You'D say that was a successful season for the Liberty.

Right.

Like there were big expectations for them headed into the season, but they made it to the championship.

I think it was a successful season. They won the Commissioner's Cup, which was they played against the Aces. I think they beat the Aces twice in the regular season. But it depends how you measure success because they definitely wanted the championship. Brianna Stewart won MVP.

Yeah.

They will raise a banner for their conference.

But I'd rather not get to just me. This is just me. I've always said don't be eight and eight. Don't be very good. Be championship good. Right. I'd rather my teams be bad to get a draft pick, so I would not want my teams to go to the championship round. I know this sounds crazy. I'd rather them be really bad than go to the championship round and lose.

But that's not eight and eight. The team that makes it to the championship and loses is not occasionally a.

Nine and seven sneaks in. The jets went to an AFC Championship game is a nine and seven team, but the packers won a Super Bowl. Is a nine and 17.

I think you'd rather have the bona fide superstars on your team playing in front of sellout crowds and make it to the finals. That's just me, though, I guess when.

You make it to the finals but know your team probably has no business being in the finals and has no future. That's what I'm talking about.

This is like the Iowa football debate right now that Lucy's been waging in her pensions all week. If they go eleven and one and they don't fire Brian Farrons, was this the best thing? But also it's like do you want to root against your own team to lose? Probably not.

Let's try it this way. If I told you last year, rather than go to the NBA finals, which the Heat did, they could have been really bad and had the number one overall pick and got wemben yama.

Nope.

What do you mean, no?

Well, I want to go to the NBA finals. We did this before the playoffs started.

If you remember. They were trying to advocate for losing in the play.

Don't point at me when you say they.

Tony wanted the only guy wearing Heat.

Paraphernalia here that you're going to point at me.

Really?

Wow.

Yeah.

No, you wanted the Heat to lose in the playground because it gave them a point 25% chance of getting the it was less.

It was 0.5.

I'm not even saying the playing round. I'm saying be historically bad. Be the spurs last year. Be really bad.

Tony that was bad.

Math five I have a question for you, Jess.

Okay, fair enough.

Where do you stand? On Becky Hammond. Because she's been the head coach of the Aces for two years. She's won two titles, and obviously she was discussed as a potential NBA head coach option for teams. Right. And then people were thinking, oh, will she take over Pop when Pop is gone? And then, well, she goes to the WNBA, and then some people where's Pop going? D three well, some people will view that as like, well, this is a lesser job. But obviously that's then insulting to the league and to Becky saying coaching in the WNBA is a lesser job than an NBA head coach. So if you have the success here and then an opportunity opens up in the NBA, do you view that as something that an opportunity Becky should take as becoming the first woman head coach in the NBA? Or is that viewed as like, well, why would you leave a good thing?

If she wants to do that, I think that would be great for her, and she should do whatever she wants to do with her career. I certainly wouldn't judge her for it. I think the question about her legacy, especially after this season, is an interesting one, because she was suspended for the first two games of the season because a former player accused her of retaliating against her and trading her to the Sparks while she was pregnant. And so the WNBA did an investigation. She got suspended. It's something that's kind of been, like, looming over this playoffs for the last couple weeks because the player, Diyka Hamby, filed a complaint with the Equal Opportunity Commission saying that she was discriminated against when she was traded and that it was retaliatory. And Becky Hammond has claimed that it wasn't. It was a business decision. So that, I think, is a really interesting thing that hasn't really fully played out yet, and something that I think you can tell a lot about a league and a company and whatever you want to call it, about how they treat their parents that work for their company, how they treat injured players, vulnerable players, things like that.

And this was, I think, a really bad look for the WNBA, but something that I haven't seen a ton of people talk about. Know you want to celebrate that the Aces won. They're one of the best teams of all time. They have so many superstars on their team. And Becky Hammond is one of the best X's and O's coaches ever in this league. She's a phenomenal coach. I think it just depends if she wants to take that step. That is 100% her call, and she has every right to do whatever she wants, and I don't really think anyone would criticize her for it because she has won two championships in her first two years as a WNBA head coach. And it kind of just depends, what do you want to know? What's the right thing for you?

Yeah, you've done everything you can here.

I think there was also a really interesting conversation happening in the WNBA about the Phoenix Mercury hiring their new head coach. He is now the highest paid head coach in the WNBA, despite having never coached in the WNBA before or obviously played in the WNBA before. So there's a lot of consternation amongst the types of people that get hired in this league still and who's able to be hired in it. Those are all conversations that I think are going to keep happening in the offseason.

It's definitely interesting to see a male coach follow Becky Hammond's path, though, of assistant coach in the NBA, then head.

Coach in the WNBA, Don Levitard.

Oh, I think Larry Fitzgerald's on the green right there.

Still got.

Alfonso Rivera has a great ass.

This is The Dan Levatar Show with The Stukats.

When we came in today, you Stu got in particular were very passionate about airlines.

Right.

Which I don't know how you guys feel. I feel like airline gripes, and I don't think that's what this is, but I feel like airline gripes is like some of the worst content that can be put out there. Every single person on Earth has terrible experiences with airlines.

But Billy, that's why it's relatable. No, but we'll talk about it.

But it's the one everyone goes to the same thing. Like oh, when they call one, why.

Does everyone have to go up there?

It's relatable to a point. But then it's also like, I ate that. In the position that a lot of people here are in and that we're in, it feels like, almost entitlement.

Most people travel, like, once every five years.

No, it's not just the travel thing. It's that I have enough followers or I'm verified where I can just complain on social media and know that the airline will then reach out to me and I will get special benefits that no one else can get. And it's like no one wants to hear how everyone to your life is easier by complaining on social media because of the followers that they have.

Can we trust tree, everyone?

Audience trust tree.

Trust tree. Did you listen to the La segment earlier this week where Ameen was talking about flying?

I did.

Me too. Yes, definitely. But for those who didn't for those.

Who didn't chris, what happened?

Explain it to me.

Well, are we talking about amine and just where are they about everything, guys.

Audience trust tree. Yes, trust tree, everybody.

Do you have to do that with your hands when you do a tree?

Jeremy what?

Like a bear?

Me and Chris remember? What?

No, I mean, I remember, but Roy, do you want to explain to Stu? Because I know Stu doesn't know.

I have no idea.

Neither do I. What we talking about?

They were complaining about air travel, but I don't remember what the conversation was because Billy's right. They all blend in together.

I believe specifically the conversation that Amin was having was about boarding the plane, and there was difficulty with dealing with the people at the front desk in terms of who should board at what time and what groups should be boarded.

The lady hit him with sir, every second counts. Every second matters to speed him up. And then he was doing it sarcastically back to her of like, why are you talking to this person? Every second matters. He like, hit her.

And then there was a Property Brothers story.

Really?

The Property Brothers down once they got into the lead past the lady, and they were in the area where you're just waiting to get on the plane.

Right.

One of the guys pulled down his mask. One of them was wearing a mask. Only one of the Property Brothers. Now I remember everything. It's all coming how only one of the Property Brothers was wearing a mask, and one wearing a mask pulled it down and said, every second matters to a mean as, like, a joke.

So it is bad content.

Yeah.

Well, which Property brothers.

Especially when it's regurgitated.

Yeah, unless the Property Brothers are in your story. Because I was, like, out on it until I remembered the Property Brothers part, and then I was like, oh, I kind of want to hear those.

You should have led with that. Isn't one of the Property Brothers dating.

Zoe Deschanel that's married Amin, actually.

Really?

He didn't know which one was which, so he's like, I'm going to assume the one with the mask is the one dating the Hollywood celebrity, huh?

All right. But this is the rare praise for the airline industry, especially.

Wait, hold on. Do you remember when Zoe Deschanel was having a moment and, like, every All Star game was like, zoe Deschanel is going to sing the national anthem as.

Like, dressed as an elf? Because that's like doesn't she go around elf? Wasn't she the she was in Elf and she was also in she sings in Elf, though I'm pretty sure every Christmas still goes places, dresses up as an elf and sings that Santa baby song.

Wait, charlotte told the story from La. If we want to continue to regurgitate content, charlote told the story of going to see a Zoe Deschanel Christmas concert.

Really?

Like a whole concert?

Is new girl a good It was.

Yeah, I liked it. It wasn't good.

Then ringing endorsement.

You saying it wasn't bad means it wasn't exactly right.

Tony. Yes.

Look, I think not that serious, Bill. You could just say it.

I think you just say it sucks.

It's okay, Bill.

Mike, say it was trash.

I think Mike Schirer's wife was, like, the creator of the writer for New Girl.

I love new girl.

Yeah. New girl was I liked. New Girl. I think that explains your I liked I liked New Girl, but I think that New Girl was one of those that by the last season it was lasted too long. It was time, like, for New Girl to go.

And I feel like new girl became old girl.

I didn't watch it live. I caught on, I think, like in the third or fourth season. I don't know how many seasons it was, but I caught on maybe like midway through or towards the end. And then I think it was one of those things where they started moving it around on days, and then it became harder to follow. I don't remember exactly. So I could be wrong about all of this.

You just jumped in, like, season three?

Yeah.

I never watched a show like that.

Oh, I did, because this is back.

When you never jumped in the middle. Go.

It was like DVRs, but it was like you would sit down and watch TV the day that it was so like it was one of those things that I catch it once. I'm like, oh, you know what? I'll look into this. I'll watch this or whatever, and then at the end, I feel like it was hard to follow. And I may have missed the last three episodes or something after watching all the way through.

Billy.

So how is it that back in the day because you're old. So back in the day, when you would watch a show halfway into the season right. How would you be able to go back you'd have to wait like a full year to see the reruns the next year. How would you be able to go back to season one, season two?

It's a great question. First of all, to close a loop, jonathan is the property brother that Zoe is engaged or married to. And Drew is the other one.

Which one did it mean?

See, they were both there. But the assumption from everybody in La was the one wearing the mask was the one married to Zoe Dish.

They were both together.

They were together.

That's a weird assumption.

So you close the loop.

I'm just telling you what La said.

Based on a mask.

I think they're doing it based off La. Well, they both actors and actresses seem to be pro.

We've all been listening to the La. Show is what I've come to.

Except me.

Yeah, I have time.

I mean, Billy said it earlier this week. We're putting out too much content.

I didn't say too much. I said a lot.

You said too much.

Okay. Anyway, so you were asking here's what why don't I tell you about this one? This is one that I think that I watched. Oh, no, you know what? I may have seen this one when it was done. Prison Break. And you know how you used to do it? And this is going to really DVDs. You'd go out and you'd have you'd have to buy the DVD of the.

First season or you do that with.

Didn'T you lend someone your Breaking Bad stugats, I think. And he never gave it back to you?

That's correct.

So Stugatt still has your Breaking Bad DVDs?

One, two, and yep.

I used to love the extras on DVDs.

Me too.

I loved outtakes.

Big outtake guy comedy movies.

Love the outtakes I remember seeing the alternate endings for, like, scary Movie. Good Times.

I have to close a loop. This is the rare, positive thing for the airlines.

Oh, yeah, the airlines. Sorry about that.

United Airlines is boarding their plane starting next week. Okay. I'm not certain if every other airline is going to follow suit, but they should. They're going to go window seats first, middle seat, second aisle seat, third.

Love this.

It's great.

Revolutionary, actually.

Yes.

Should be done.

So instead of group one, it'll just be all window seats. Please board now.

Correct. Then middle seats, then aisle seats. Now, if you have an aisle, you're screwed a bit because of your carry on. By the time you get on the plane, everyone window middle has already stored their luggage up top.

Yeah.

I immediately regret my first take, feeling that this was a good idea because I like to sit in the aisle. And so now I'm concerned about the carry on. I hadn't thought that far.

Got to go to the back of the plane on the way home.

I'm fine volunteering to check my bag.

Yeah.

I'm not getting emotional.

No, I don't want to check my.

Bag on the way home. I'm fine checking it for free.

But if you've gone billy. Billy, you've gone on a trip and you just board. You have a carry on, and that's it. It changes everything.

But, like, when your trip's over, Billy, you get to the airport, you want to get the hell out of that.

I want to walk outside at the Miami airport where that tank is and call my Uber.

Yeah, but I'm talking about if I'm flying, I'm usually getting picked up by someone, so I'm just like, I don't want to deal with the stress of having to find a place.

I'm just like, take the bag.

I don't care, because I'm already beat at that point, and I know I'm just going to be you're just so defeated.

Just take my bag, put it wherever you want.

I don't have to worry about walking with it.

But you're adding an hour to your travel, Billy. I mean, you got to walk to the baggage claim. You got to get your bag, wait for the bag. If there's lightning, they don't put the bags on the thing.

Lightning always, yes.

Fort Lauderdale airport. It happens all the time.

I've never heard of this.

True.

I'm looking into the Property Brothers, and it seems like the easier way to distinguish them is that one of them has a beard. And one of them doesn't?

Yeah, but what if the other one has a beard and the other one doesn't?

What if they switch?

So one of them decided to grow.

The one with the beard.

They switched beard.

The other one shaved, grows a beard. Then what?

Do you think Zoe knows the difference?

I wouldn't.

A Halloween party. You never know which I am.

The property brother.

What if the Property Brothers for Halloween went into each other? Like, one of them grows a beard and he's like, I want to be Drew, and it's like, I want to be Jonathan, or whatever the other one's name is.

I feel like that'd be a boring costume for them because it's just like then they're just them.

Well, no, it's an inside joke for them. So they'd go to a party and be like, you guys didn't dress up. And like, I'm Jonathan.

You can't tell who I am.

I'm Drew.

Property jokes on you, whatever their name is.

Don Lebotard.

Stu Gotts.

If you give him the choice Stu.

Gottz, you can have the very same thing one of two ways you could get it, honestly, or you could steal it. He'll always choose stealing it. Stugats well, it's the quicker path. I mean, it's just, you know, this.

Is the Don Levatar Show with the Stugats.

I heard that Best Buy, starting next year, is not going to sell DVDs and Blu rays anymore.

Get out of here.

Yeah, it's true.

What? What's the point?

Apparently they think that they can staples is already closed.

Oh, yeah, that's true.

No, it's not.

No, I just was I got it right.

It is a staple of Best Buy, though.

I think they can use the floor space for something else. I went into a Best Buy and it was like, I think that they have plenty of floor space.

It makes me sad.

Perfectly.

Honestly.

All they have is floor space.

I think I bought my fridge at Best Buy.

I was just about to say, why do they have refrigerators?

I think I bought my two appliances that's like their new they have not.

Moved to dude, the one not new.

Let my boy cook with those appliances.

Have you been to a new Revamped? Best Buy? The one Dayland station by me is completely revamped. They had it closed for, like, three months. They completely renovated the entire thing. The entire thing is appliances.

So mad about wall to wall is appliances.

So they don't even have computers.

They don't got a goddamn thing.

Roy.

God. Terrible. Terrible.

What were you looking to buy there?

I don't remember. I walked in, my wife was at Target, and I was like, oh, let me go to Best Buy and walked around.

I used to love going to Best Buy and walking through, like, the DVDs and the video game section just of seeing what we going to, the speaker sections. Borders are borders closed, right?

Borders closed.

Barnes and Noble. Still going.

Love Barnes and books.

And books.

Fairly.

Barnes and Noble. And Union Square in New York. Best public bathroom in New York City.

Wow.

Really, people?

Now, that can't be right.

Bleep that out.

Yeah.

Don't tell anyone. You don't want to give up a good bathroom location.

Billy, you love walking through a store, all stores. I do. You really do? Yes. You say that every time I call you. You're at a store?

Well, yes, because sugats calls me like, 18 times a day, and then it's like and he's like, where are you? And I'm like, I'm doing grocery shopping. He's like, you're always at a store. And it's like, yeah, my family needs to eat. If I'm not at work, I need to go and the grocery store, I need to go to Target to pick something up.

So basically, you're Lawrence Moroni, the stugats now, always taking a plate.

Yes. What? He's always at a store. He's always shopping at a store.

Can we go back?

Right? Yes. Why lawrence Moroni. Just quickly. I tried to get him on once, and he told me he was boarding a plane. I never heard from him again. So that's it. Okay. Sorry.

Why did Tony get so mad at Roy about the refrigerators at Best Buy?

It was all of you guys kind of jumped out my throat when none of you guys have ever been to a best Buy, and no one here.

Has ever been to one in the last six months.

I'll go to the one in Amazon.

I bought a vacuum at a best Buy recently. I've actually bought two vacuums at a best Buy. Now that Amazon killed Best Buy. I think my last purchases at Best Buy were vacuum, vacuum, refrigerator for me.

TV. I got a TV there once.

Yeah, I got a TV there.

I got a microwave there too. I've been buying weird things.

Wow.

A lot of appliances.

Yeah. Tony may be right about this. They still have stuff. They have phones and stuff.

No, he is right about it. But you can get an appliance, and.

You can still get a computer laughing at him because he got so mad.

Yeah. You're a bit defensive.

No, it's that everybody jumps down my throat every time I say.

Not me, Tony. Just Billy.

Come on, man.

Ridiculous.

Go do another Best Buy.

In fairness, you came in today with know you can feel things by licking.

Them, and you still can.

While my boy's cooking, let's bring up the picture of him doing a grid of death punishment yesterday.

Oh, yeah.

Don't burn the was.

What?

He's recreating Landon Donovan picture. Oh, it's behind you guys over there.

What the water feel like?

So that doesn't look like much of a punishment.

Sensual.

Yeah, it really doesn't. You look good in that picture. Someone takes a picture of you, he always looks good.

Thank you.

Yeah, it was just I don't know that's what they gave me, so I did it.

That seems like an easy one.

Did you feel silly doing it?

That's four years old.

I did feel a little silly doing it.

Does he have a pinky ring on? No part of the bit.

If you look at his ring, it's on his middle finger. But the ring is too small to fit on my middle finger, so I had to only wear it on.

Good for you. From that angle. There's some Kelsey in Tony.

He looks like Kelsey.

He does.

I've gotten that a couple times.

Yeah. Little Travis Kelsey. You've gotten that, huh? Yeah. Really?

I've been tagged so many times when he wore, like, the open shirts and stuff, right? Yeah, I got tagged that a bunch.

Is that a compliment?

It is incredibly complimentary.

Do you guys think Tony should grow out his hair?

Hmm?

No.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Whatever he wants.

No, my wife wants me to grow up my hair again. And for those, you could see it on my little grow out your hair. No.

Whatever your wife says, do it.

No, wrong. I'm doing it because I like it.

Right.

And I like having short hair. I can leave the house. I don't have to do my hair.

It's easier.

I don't have to worry about this with my long hair. I have to brush it, or I have to wear a hat, and it's just annoying, and I don't want to do it anymore.

There's just that awkward phase, though, between the shaved head and the long hair that lasts months that I think he's trying to avoid like the plague.

If your wife told you to shave your head, would you?

I would shave my head in a minute if I could. Yeah, I have my well, you can.

You could.

I can't. No, not when you have kids, because you have too many kids events coming up that you need pictures for. So I can't shave my head? Because then forever.

But shave your head like what? Like Roy shaves his head like, zero down to the stubs. Or, like, what I do? Like, a fave with, like, a little bit up top.

No, in the summers, I wish I could just do, like, short all the way around. Yeah, but there's always, like, a first birthday party or a second birthday party or a baptism or someone's cousin, something.

There's always something.

I love how you have you like, I just can't have a bald head at this second birthday party.

It's the truth. Why can't you just have pictures? There's a pictures.

What if it looks good?

I can't. I know how it works.

Right.

I don't understand this level of neuroses about changing your look. Like, why can't you just have a different look for a certain segment of your life that gets marked down in.

Pictures because of the pictures you have to have?

They do live forever to attend.

Exactly.

Pictures live forever.

You can't. I'm telling you, you'll understand it when you're there. You can't mess up the pictures. It's not about you anymore. After you have kids, life isn't about you. It's not about your kids. It's about pictures. And you just can't mess them up.

What an take my village.

No, he's right. No, he's absolutely put it on the poll, please.

Is life about pictures once you have kids?

Once you have kids about pictures, one picture opportunity after another, one event after another. It's masqueraded as an event for the children or event for whatever. It's really about the pictures. It's always about the pictures.

Every time.

We did my niece and nephew's baptism, like last month, and we must have taken 6000 pictures.

Thank you. And how many times has a kid baptized?

Once.

There you go.

I'm going to do at my daughter's next birthday party. No pictures.

What?

Good luck.

Impossible.

You can't do it like, right, no photography, zero pictures. One picture, you're gone.

No, not a chance. It's going to happen.

You're going to be gone.

The moment thing that you ran by us a couple of years ago.

Oh, just wanting to I hate being on my phone all the time.

It's the worst.

Yeah, exactly.

Can I tell you something that I started doing that's a little bit crazy that I don't know if you guys so for a long time I had the screen time feature off on my phone because I didn't want to know how much time I was on my phone. And then I turned it on for some reason. So every Sunday at like 10:00 A.m., I get a report of how much time I have. That time I was on my phone and I started writing it down on my calendar in hopes of the following week have less screen time than the week before.

What's your average?

It's a lot. Tell me what's a good number? What's a bad number?

Whatever. Mine is over.

What's yours? Do you know what yours is? Bad?

My screen time report. Whatever Jess is.

How can we all get our screen time report?

How do you get it?

I only get an update every Sunday at like 10:00 A.m.. I just writing it down, hoping that.

It'S, I'll look it up.

Tell us how to do it.

Just go to your screen.

Yeah, settings.

Go to settings and then screen time. Screen time. And it shows. My daily average is 11 hours and five minutes.

No way. That can't be right.

I think that's because I fall asleep watching TikTok though.

So your phone just stays on for.

8 hours and then it gets really hot. And then I wake up in the middle of the night and I'm like, oh, my phone's really hot.

I put it on my 540, I'm turning mine.

That's not bad. Yeah, that's pretty good.

It's half of the this also includes like my computer is open the entire it's linked to my computer. My computer is open the entire time that we're at work. So that's 6 hours right there.

I just turned mine on.

Okay, so we'll get back to you next week.

Exactly. Jerbert.

I know it's that long.

944.

Mine right now says 6 hours, 20 minutes, but that's with me trying to be off my phone.

That's what I'm saying.

Billy, what's yours but yours is different.

Not total time.

A week, guys.

This is per day.

Yeah, that's per week.

People are like, oh, this is not that bad. No, this is bad.

No, 11 hours.

We're all bad.

11 hours is like, how long I'm awake, right?

Yeah. Really?

That's why I think it's including my phone playing TikToks on a loop for.

3 hours every night for the week of October Eigth through October 14. It's 6 hours and 43 minutes.

Royce is shutting your goddamn business is how long Rose on his.

Exactly.

And I wasn't even on the phone on Sunday.

Wrong.

Yeah, I wasn't even on the phone on Sunday.

Why not?

I don't know. It says I wasn't on the phone. Oh. I was at an urgent care. That's why I was on the phone on Sunday.

That's prime phone.

Again.

Where's that jet?

Never asking a question again. The fuzzy one.

Billy, what's yours? You didn't say yours.

How was that urgent care yesterday, too.

Whoa. Are you okay?

Yeah.

It's been a bad week.

Okay. I will have no follow ups. I hope that everything is going well.

For you in a waiting room.

I would have watched Roy a lot.

Thousands.

Do you guys just people watch like me in waiting rooms?

Yeah. What's with that guy?

I'm just looking around.

Yeah. Judging everyone they get in. I'm like that's.

How contagious?

Hours and five minutes.

What time's your appointment? You better not get called before down.

Oh, you're keeping track?

I am keeping track of who walked in and what order.

But if you get there before someone else does and their appointments before yours, you feel like you should be going. At first, I'll just get up, walk.

In front of the desk. I don't say anything, but I just walk up, do a little lap in front of the desk.

But it's not who shows up first. Chris.

No, I'm just saying, though it should be.

It should be.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be. Right?

Yeah. Isn't.

But, like, the one I no, but.

He'S saying if he has an appointment and he walks in first, you have an appointment.

Not urgent care.

You can make an appointment.

I'm talking about doctors. He's talking about urgent care.

You can if you want to.

Why would you want to plan an urgent situation?

Right, but you also can make an appointment.

But why would you plan an emergency it doesn't have?

Like you could just be like, my ear. I have an earache, right. So I want to go get it checked.

Out.

That's like a clinic. Yeah, right. Some people just go to I do that at, like, CVS or Walgreens or one of those Copay. Ridiculous. Started on Copays. And don't get me started on urgent care versus emergency rooms, because that is a crock of shit.

Turns out I spend 26 hours and 30 minutes a week on social media on my phone.

Wow.

Over a full day.

Jeremy, you look at your phone too much.

Yeah.

You do. You really got to get it under control, jerbert.

Yeah, it'd be really cool if I could do yeah.

Yeah.

I'll talk to my bosses.

Don't you guys find life to be better without your phone?

Yeah, I wish I'm in the moment.

You're paying attention to your wife and kids?

TikTok's pretty sick.

No.

Makes my life happier.

Really?

Yeah.

Your kids are supposed to do that.

Yeah, they don't I don't have kids.

That's true.

Me and my kid can both be on social media at the same time.

Yeah, it's great making TikToks together.

IG message each other.

You're sitting right next to them on the couch. Yeah.

Damn hand, Mike. Take it away. In Lakers and Clippers.
