Hour 1: Merry Christmas, John Fanta (feat. John Fanta)

Look at this the rarest of things. A media person who everyone likes. John Fanta, one of the most recognizable voices in college basketball play by play broadcaster and reporter for NBC sports here to get a smarter on the tournament. Everyone is a fan of Fanta. There are no exceptions.

We're going to talk about his beloved Browns in a second here. But you know, yeah, I'm sorry to

you've already lost him. Yeah, look at it. Look at how you killed John Fanta's passion on Christmas morning. You mentioned the Browns and you lost him. Don't even give me star guys. A media ride hit Cleveland earlier this week. And I thought to myself, is this the sign that we have finally found a quarterback. I am 30 and I've get to find one, get to host a playoff game and yeah, thank you again. Thank you again. What did you just yell in the other room, Chris? Were you just surprised

he's 30? Is that what just happened? No, I'm in the other way. He's just can't believe he's there. It was a good job. Yeah, we won't do about to him. I saw his face. I couldn't not see his face

excuse the double negative and the negativity in general. I thought it was like 24. Thank you.

Thank you. I'll take that as a compliment. I appreciate that. And excellent. That was the Dan. I was freaking out. Why are you giving him that signal? Why that you shouldn't do that on television or professional broadcaster? Look at Tony in the back eating

“pretzel nuggets for you by the way, laughing and to John. I think everybody just wants your sleeper”

picks that they don't want any. They don't want anything from you other than give us the good stuff right now. Right. And so where are you going when people ask you that and are you annoyed by people asking you that? No, not annoyed at all. It's the madness. It's that time of year. I'm going to start right now and tell you if I'm if I'm you guys and I'm making these different picks and selections. I don't know how you could watch Miami University last night and think that they're just done. I think they're

going to be Tennessee. I really do. I think that that this team could win multiple games in this tournament because they share the rock. They've got a great idea of who they are and that starts with brand fires and Peter Seuter and and Elmer last night was phenomenal. So I don't think the Red Hawks would not think they'd be Tennessee. I've got USF over Louisville today. I think the bulls are really, really talented. Westiness and Isaiah Nelson or two guards who get after it on both

ends. Brian Hodgson is a coaching star and the and USF can pull that off of a Louisville Louisville without McCall Brown North Carolina without Caleb Wilson. Give me VCU. Give me the

“Atlantic 10 tournament champion. VCU Rams. They got a garden name, jadry and Tracy. I think is a”

can be an electric factory. They're balanced. They defend well enough. It says carrot line has got to have transition to win. When they're stuck in the half court, they're talent doesn't show guys because I'll be honest with you. They don't run a lot of offense. Carolina just doesn't run a lot of offense. So I like VCU in that game and I like Santa Clara to beat Kentucky. I think that Kentucky has been so up and down. Santa Clara's got a top 25 offense in the sport. So I've got

the Broncos. I have some blue blood falling in this first round. To be clear though, when you say

that North Carolina doesn't run offense, you are basically criticizing their coaching, which isn't something that I hear a ton of on Hubert Davis. You're doing something there that is camouflaged. It feels like, if you say in the half court, they can't be anything. That's not something that's well coached. Well, you see that they're a team that relies on, I don't think that they're poorly coached. I just think that their offense is based on, okay, who is which some some some very

good offensive teams are based on individual players who can make things happen. But without Wilson, who is a stud and one of the best freshman in America and you credit Hubert for going and getting him and bringing him in, I just worry about on the NCAA tournament stage, then their shot selection. Because Caleb Wilson is the guy that keeps them all together. Now Seth Trimble's got to play a great game today, but Seth needs to get downhill. And so when I say that, I'm looking at VCU and

their abilities to defend and rebound and they're they're they get up in you with the way that they guard. Filmartelli juniors their coach, the son of the great filmartelli. And I expect VCU to

“come ready for the assignment of we're going to make this team play in the half court. I think Hubert”

got a lot of pressure on him. There's no question about that because you know, he went to a went to the championship game. And since then it's been it's been a series of of highs and lows

leave my words, but my point is like they they got to be able to turn you over and get out in the open source, just who they are as a team. Without Wilson, they're not the same team in the half court. Coaching for his job? Yes or no? No. I mean, if he loses this game, no, I fully expected to be back next year. If he had Caleb Wilson lost this game, there'd be a lot of pressure, but you know, I mean, I'll tell you what. You have a coach of Carolina, you're expected to be in the mix for

a lead eight final four. And they're just the injury kills them, but they're not. And last year, they had a tough go at it. He was brought back this year. And so they could win this game, but then they got to face Illinois. And I don't think that they're going to beat Illinois. I just think Illinois is too much from. I'll tell you who it's he's not coaching for his job, but he's coaching

in a game that really he needs to win. Mark Pope. I mean, you spend over 20 million on your roster,

but you got a nightmare draw. Like Guy Santa Clara, they don't care who's on the other side. They play their style. They move the basketball at a very high level. They're good enough defensively. The Broncos can win that game. They got a long time guy on the sidelines in herpsendek.

“And they got some really good talent. Kid named Elijah Mahi that I think can really play.”

So yeah, you know, there's there's very few people that are quote coaching for their their jobs and the first round of the NCAA tournament. But there's some guys that if they don't win, oh man, that that fire gets lit on the on the on the skillet. And it says next year, you better turn this thing around. You better win in the tournament. Mark Pope's one of those guys, because they

spent $22 million on their roster. And what are they doing? They're a seven seed.

Can you tell me what your thoughts are on Shaheen Holloway being named the biggest coach of the year at declining to play in the NIT after losing to St. John's in the biggest tournament and not getting an NCAA tournament bit? I have no problem with it. I wouldn't play in an either if I were him because he played in the NIT two years ago. And his resources are more limited than other places. And so then when he and his staff sat down to go ahead and build out the

roster for the ensuing season, the nearly the entire roster was gutted. All of his best players left for the portal. They knew they were leaving as they were winning the NIT. And now you're three weeks behind everybody else and how you're going to you're going to go into the portal. Oh, and by the way, you're in the back half of the Big East and in revenue sharing it and I out. That's gotten better at seed and haul. It's still not at the level that you

constain John's and villain over our at guys. So if you go and play, you know, they were invited

“to the crown, okay, which is an event that's new and it's an event that you got you have to wait”

two weeks to then play in it. If you are a program that has to manage your resources and manage what you're going to do with your roster, you wait, you wait one day, nor alone two weeks. I don't know people could say, well, you know, they could be doing this while they're in the NIT. Let's everything or the crown. That's everything that's wrong with college basketball because it's it's so hard to do both. So I don't mind them declining it because frankly, their objective is

we didn't make the NCAA tournament. We got a couple guys who are not going to be here next year. You know, a couple guys were like, hey, I'm out. Like, what incentive is there for me to play? You know, the crown, you get $300,000, if you win. And there's no big East teams in the NIT because that league is tied up with this other event. So I don't have an issue with them, you know, not taking that invitation because in my opinion, it's better for a program of their status

to go and start to look at what they're going to do with their roster, especially when the resources are what they are. John, I'm a big fan. I was introduced to you when I was a Browns fan. You would pop up on my algorithm, screaming into your phone, speaking for many Browns fans. So I want to ask you about the news that broke yesterday about the Browns exploring new ways to destroy their franchise, petitioning the NFL to be able to trade picks five years in advance.

Your take my take is this is like when you are in third or fourth grade and you're in a classroom

of 25 kids and there's always one or two that find a way to send the teacher off the rails.

“Like, there's always that one guy that you're just like, did you have to take it that far?”

Do you have to take it that far? You just ruined the rest of the day. And we got to go in extra 20 minutes on math problems or on science because of because of your butt. The fact is like, I can't, I just don't understand. I really don't. I also, and I said it when they did it. I don't understand why Andrew Barry has gone one for six on drafts and because he's one for his last

national football league where the the GM and the culture from different regimes, different

areas. No one in Cleveland, it's never worked. Asked my calling for how it worked out. Your

pissed. As Tom Hacker, how it worked out. It doesn't work. So, you know, when I saw that news, I just, I was just like, really, like, really, the Browns, a city so starved for football success. Couldn't have a sharper 180 in what the reality of the situation is. Quick break to tell you about a special Miller time I had with my good buddy Mochetta. Mochetta texted me the other day. He said, Hey, what are you doing for the game? I said, I'm just on my couch

“right now doing nothing. Enjoying it. He's okay. Do you want some company? I said, from you Mochetta?”

Absolutely. Mochetta comes over to the house and I pull out the Miller like Miller like made that casual hang a memorable good Miller time with my good friend Mochetta because Miller liked

products together. We took that first sip after we toasted our beers and we knew we made the

right call. We watched a game. All of a sudden we're standing up on our feet. Big threes are being drained and white cans are being claimed. See, times like these? That's exactly why Miller like is my go-to. Clean refreshing. Easy to drink. Brute for taste with simple ingredients. The original like beer since 1975 and it still hits different for yours truly in his good friend Mochetta. Cheers to legendary moments made with Miller like. Great taste 96 calories. Go to

Dan Lebotard! It sounds to me like everybody could use a hug because a hug is always the

right size. So gotch! All I have put in my body today is three cups of coffee in an entire cup of coffee. Still let him fool you. He said in the break that he's jittery. This is the Darn Lebotard show with his two gods. You sound angry. A lifetime of hurt even though you're only 30 years old and I need to clarify that Chris Cody was surprised that you're only 30 because of where you've arrived in the

business at 30. He doesn't see you very often on these lists of top one hundred under 30s

“and you should be because it's fairly amazing where you've arrived at this age but the most”

the browns have hurt you in your lifetime is blank. Boom! I would say when they hosted the Rams on Sunday night football. I don't know if you all remember this. This was when Freddy Kitchens was in his one year as the coach. And I went week one to the Browns Titan's game and they got crushed. They were not competitive. And then I went week two to the Browns of Jets game because I live in New Jersey full-time now.

And I met Matt Life and Odell Beckham has an 87-yard touchdown reception in Run and so Dan I'm kind of thinking, you know what? This is going to be all right. It was a season rich with expectations. They had like six prime time appearances on TV. Okay. So the next week they're taking on the Rams on Sunday night football. And they had a they were dry. They should have

“they I think they forced three or four turnovers off of Jared Gough and the Rams. And you know”

Al Michael's in Chris Collins where they're calling the game. It's their first trip to Cleveland and over a decade. So I was excited and whatnot. They had a fourth down in nine. Freel wrongs fans can remember this. They had a fourth down in nine and Kitchens call the draw play. Mike says it's fourth and twelve. I was like yeah it was a fourth down draw. But Browns knows where Brown fans know where they were. As soon as he said the Rams I knew exactly where he was going.

He thought it was third down and three and he ran a draw play. And I remember sitting there and watching

this and thinking to myself I need help. I need I like I this is this is a situation where I need to check in somewhere because I I'm watching this for at this point 25 years. And I actually thought that this was going to be the time that things were going to change. And then I word it's my meant where is my crazy brain go to? My crazy brain goes to Bill Bella check getting the job in North Carolina. And finding out that he hired Freddie Kitchens and thinking to myself

“well this will be a dumpster fire and it in fact was. So that was the worst thing because I thought”

that I thought that with Baker I thought that with Job, Garrett all these pieces were going to emerge. You know the night the night I had the most fun like I drank a whole bottle of fireball and I'd beat the Steelers in the wild card COVID game. That's a great thing. Because it was just like watching Rafa's burger watching Rafa's burger on the bench crying was just just just an

amazing experience as a brownspam. But my god what they proceeded to do was just I was just hard to

fathom it was it was hard to fathom. The the Freddy Kitchens thing the the draw on the fourth down. Yeah my my daughter was born like hours later she was a week early and I'm convinced it's just because she wanted to be born to yell at Freddy Kitchens. Yeah I mean like yes and that's the life of a Cleveland sports fan. My son was born about eight hours after the cabs remember the cabs spacers play off game this past year where the cabs were up I like nine with like a minute

to go a minute and a half to go and they lost the game because Haliburdon said like that was when Haliburdon really that's the way he ran ran into the paint and then ran back and then hit the three from from the top of the key was that the game the Max Bruce sent the group chat a message and then went over nine. Yeah it was really you know it was just like that type of stuff that you just you just love. I mean I could go away I could go through the years of the Pat Sharmer era

in Cleveland was dark. I mean holy smokes some of the offense being run with chance he's

“stuck in the wildcat like please please spare me. I mean I'll never forget when LeBron this is”

those uh no I was not oh seven I know you go nine and the cabs are facing the magic and the playoffs and the magic or charred Lewis could not miss a shot in that series. Him and Hito Turcaloon and Lewis hits a huge three and my dad is in the living room and he starts walking up the stairs and I said dad there's 1.1 to go and then LeBron hits a game winner and he comes running down the stairs almost breaks his leg and is going crazy but my point is like my dad was walking up the stairs because

that is up until 2016 that was really the life of a Cleveland sportsman and then in football baseball. I mean in baseball we've been the uh the 16-world series it hit me like a ton of bricks you know they were up three one they should have won that series and they didn't you can't drink a whole bottle of cinnamon whiskey like you just can't it's tough you can't do that

“and whisky is I missed him a lot here. No you can't drink a bottle of fireball like that's not”

they what was the next day like phenomenal it was a victory Monday yeah I mean it was glorious I had a I had Taylor have you know I had breakfast sandwich and New Jersey and we got rolling with the day like I was listening to the local Cleveland sports stuff that you guys have probably spoke some fun at you know and you know Tony Rizzo was in Cleveland ringing his cowbell and people were dancing in McFadden and Whitehead ain't no stopping us now and I thought

we were going to go in the Super Bowl. True or false Miles Garrett will not be a Cleveland Brown in three years. Oh that's probably true yeah true true on that I just don't like and that's the synagogue me because you know you just feel like he's going to try to end and it's somewhere else and he's going to want to win a Lamberti trophy day and I don't know why

I wouldn't want to do that but like it's a really weird dynamic like he's an amazing player

he's going to go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame but you know like when you're when this franchise they lack great leadership quality it's just part of it's part of one of one of their issues and starts at the top so I'm not putting that on Miles but like if I'm Miles I'm trying to pursue a Lamberti trophy and I don't think it's going to happen in Cleveland. Your final four real quick I've got two things I want to end with your final four just

give me the four teams you've got Duke Houston Arkansas Michigan. I haven't front of me our looks like tournament it is a tournament where we ask our listeners to basically write what some people in sports look like just based on their appearances I have four teams for you in our

Number five St. John's is represented by Scott Hansen looks like an orthodontist. They're playing

against number 12 Northern Iowa Northern Iowa's represented by mean of times looks like the innocent bystander who sees the villain behind the superhero and shouts look out. Clemson is an eight seed uh Clemson is represented by Rex Ryan looks like the father in law who when finding out your wife is pregnant awkwardly high five she and says glad to hear your old equipment still works haha that is but that's a one seed so I mean it's gonna be however the next one is doesn't

“really matter but go ahead that is the best thing I've heard in a long time. Number nine I was represented”

by Mike McDaniel looks like the barista who asks if you've ever tried journaling while making

your oatmeal glatte. Hansen's perfect because it's New York to me and I get it I like it

mean at times it was such a loaded explanation but I I can understand to me that it was the Rex Ryan a father in law. Yes father in law who when finding out your wife is pregnant awkwardly high five she and says glad to hear your old equipment still works. It's perfect because like it's an it and it's an eight nine game and that to me is like what that situation is like the father was high five in you so it's supposed to be a positive moment between you two but then he

gives that compliment back hand accompaniment at the end and you're an eight nine game so even if you've won in that immediate moment you're about to get your ask it. Let me give you a couple of more here. Number seven Kentucky is represented by Fernando Mendosa looks like he makes his animal crackers fight each other before he eats them. We could happen. It could happen. I mean it could could actually happen. Like I mean it could it could and that fits the bill. Okay keep going.

“This is going to I think I think you're going to feel this is ranked to low number 10 Santa Clara's”

represented by Adam silver looks like a dandy line with all the seeds blown off. I don't even know what I'm supposed to say. No you don't have to say anything. We're going to just keep moving here. I was state as a two seed. I was state as represented by Kurt Signetti looks like the uncle who comes to your house for Thanksgiving and before even saying hello says your door knobs loose. Every time I see that I just think of like the grinch I don't know I can just it looks like a

character from whoville. I just does like it it did so it's so Jim Carrier's perfect that yes again like what is going do you think that he practices that in the off season do you think looking unhappy I think he does I think he's worked all his life at looking unhappy and then he's succeeded. He's in a period. Yeah he's mastered it yes no he goes to the gym looks in the mirror gives off unhappy does reps of unhappy do you think because right now he's that he's the hero right

I don't know how people in on your shows think like he's the hey this is so cool they did this he took a program that's not a blue blood do you think that he will start again away from the bragging do you think that he will forever be the feel good or that he'll that he's going to become a villain. We hate him. He's already a villain. He's already a villain. He just started in down like oh he you one of the great. I'm glad that struck a chord. Underdog stories in the history of

sports and you guys hate him. I wanted to ask you based on what you were saying earlier about resources

“who did the most with the least this year. That's a very good question. Hmm well you have to”

you'd have to look at at a school like Miami for sure you'd have to look at a school like USF for sure. I think St. Louis for what they have to be like a firm eight nine and you know they're they certainly are a team that you could point to Josh shirts is the coach there. He did a real nice job with his team. You know it's not like Fred Hoyberg has all the money in the world and he's a top

four seed in the NCAA tournament. Guys Nebraska's never won an NCAA tournament game like ever.

So I think that that that that would be one that would come to mind. How about the reverse? How about the reverse? The least with the most? Well you I mean for Kentucky to not be a top four seed is kind of wild. It's crazy and then I know Richie Saunders would down with an injury but like people thought be why you would be a final four contender. They're a sixth seed in this tournament. So you know I don't think that I think that those would be the the two. You know who's another guy? I think it's going to win

Jamie Dixon does the most with what he's given. TCU guys should not be good in basketball. Like

“they should not be an NCAA tournament team. I've been to multiple their games. They don't think”

their crowds are not great. He's got OK money. I mean for if you're TCU all the money's got to go to Big 12 football. I'm winning in football. He's got decent but like his his roster's just OK. And they're in the tournament. They've been to the tournament almost as many times under him as they've been as a school in their history. So that's a guy that doesn't but yeah Kentucky be why you they they weren't able to make it work with what they had. I'm going to give you three more

teams from our looks like tournament. I was mentioning that I was state represented by Kirk's igniting as a TUC. They're playing 15th seated Tennessee State that's represented by Daniel Orlovsky looks like a judge on shot. Kids edition. Now I'm going to do UCLA UCF here. Number seven UCLA is represented by Cal Raleigh looks like a motorcycle highway patrol officer. He does facing

10 seated UCF which is represented by Freddie Freeman looks like the neighbor who always waves first

and means it that's a win. Yeah that's a win. Yeah that to give me the tendency there in an upset. I'll take that. You're a win sir. Thank you for being on with us. Enjoy the work and congratulations on all of your success. You're fun to listen to and your information is always good sir. Anytime guys thank you God bless you and for the sake of this show for the Cleveland Browns. Where are you behind you? What are the other things in the strip mall behind you? Like what is that

a strip mall? Where physically are you right now in your car? I'm in the driver's seat. I'm not driving

and I am in an undisclosed location in Florida. Okay but around you behind you there's a salon.

There's a massage partner. No no it's just a nope it's the it's the Airbnb. No there's no strip mall not in a no I'm in a residential house. See you later thank you sir appreciate the time and the insights. Thank you guys have have a lot of fun today. What I want to tell you is you don't have to have a lot of fun today. What I want to tell you, I don't want to get a lot of support. The master by tag laptop is soft behind the internet. It's just a massage. I'm really sorry. I can say

you they can do it. Yeah you are a player. But they don't trust you. I don't like it at all.

“If you want to do it, don't do it at all. If you do it at all, don't do it at all. If you do it at all, don't do it at all.”

If you do it at all, don't do it at all. If you do it at all, don't do it at all. It's time could eat of auks money from coal. Auks money. Could eat. I ain't far online. Done lebatard. World Raw 3. StuGATS. We're gonna get that out of the world. World Raw 3, colon. Our group chat has a pretty good feeling about this one. This is the done lebatar show with StuGATS. I love that. I love John Fantan. I actually really enjoyed that trip down browns,

fandom, memory lane. John got a seven an idea back here to continue playing our R&B artist game. It started with Freddie Kitchens, which is a damn good R&B artist name. So he started our list of football coaches that sound like R&B artist, Chris Cody. Here we go. Romeo Crannell. Al golden. Dicturon. Pery fuel.

“Loveysmith. Michael Macdonu. Better 30 year old, fancier Jeremy. Better at what?”

Better 30 year old. There isn't a better person than John Fantan. That's an unfair spot. I mean, when you started with J. I thought you were going to say Jeremy. No, Jeremy, like that's not, that's not. No, I get it. You know he's not. You know he doesn't have three Emmys. I doubt that John Fantan. I doubt that John Fantan has three Emmys. Well, just wait. Don't count him out. There's no one better than me. Wow. After a man we were talking about

him from the center during the shadow show for those of you who do not know after a man, I can call him a one hit wonder, right? Is that it does that feel too offensive to you? Because there's only one song that says no is, but I think that's a song. But that doesn't

He's got two great hits. And then he also has a bunch of different songs that he came out with.

“That were parody songs of other famous songs throughout the year. Put it on the pen. They were excellent.”

At Lebetard Show is Afro Man, a one hit wonder. But you're calling this a trial of a center. Yes. Somebody involved in a trial of the century has to be slightly more famous than this. More famous than Afro Man who in middle school didn't hear cult 45 and two zigzags. Baby, that's all you need. Who? Tell me. Please, Dan. Well, Dan wasn't in the middle school. Find the middle school. Whatever you were in the early 2000s. Find the middle school

or after they judge a volleyball game. That was a weird thing. I don't know what happened there. It's okay. Why do you rub your shins to pacify yourself? That's only when it's really bad. I find people tell you what they're doing and I knew what Dan did. When Chris touches his ass. Oh, he does not feel good about this. The way we started the interview with Fanta because I did have an actual reaction to him being

30, but it was just because of I was like he's so famous and great at what he does. I was thinking older and, you know, I didn't feel good about that. So I touched my ankles. It's a strange soothing coping mechanism. It's like, you're like climb out of your body. Put it on the pole at Lebetard Show. Have you ever suathed yourself in times of awkward anxiousness by rubbing your shins and ankles? Because I don't think I've seen a whole lot of towels quite like that. I imagine that that is

something you do at the poker table. It's why you don't have a poker table. But Afroman trial

“of the century, I do think you have to be more famous than this. But why is it the trial of the”

century? Okay, Dan. So let me explain very quickly. I'm going to read a little bit of a synopsis of the actual case itself, which is in Adam's County, Ohio. You got this. Share if deputies rated rapper Afroman's home on a search warrant alleging drug trafficking and kidnapping, but found no evidence filed no charges and caused property damage. Afroman then used that security footage because he has security cameras all over his house to create a parody video in

which he says that he has intercourse with one of the sheriff's deputies wife. And then they go and sue him because they're like, hey, you can't say that about us. You can't do that. And then he

won basically on the free speech to live crew. Think of like, hey, it's music. Like, I have my

free speech. I can say whatever I want. And also I didn't cause any bodily harm or property damage like you guys did to me. So this is him walking into court and tent. Dan, you can't tell me this guy right here does not scream trial of the century and a full-mink white coat. And then a USA Tuxedo because he means business. Dan, look at that. Is that a Tuxedo? It looks like that suit suit. It just looks like an American flag. But he's got one Z. But then he's also got the tie to

and just so you can get a sense for how right he was. This is him explaining his side of his defense. But what they did, searching your house, gave you the right to do everything you said. I got a certain stance that I got freedom of speech. After they run around my house with guns and kicked down my door, I got the right to kick a can in my backyard, use my freedom of speech,

“turn my bad times into a good time. Yes, I do. And I think I'm a sport for doing stuff because”

I don't go to their house, kick down their doors, flip them off on their surveillance cameras, then try and play the victim and suit them. I mean, Dan, trial of the century,

he didn't even need a lawyer. It just came in and says first, first amendment right. And I

banged his wife possibly. And the guy who said he had to take the stand and the judge and the attorney asked him, did Afroman bang your wife? And he's like, I don't know. He probably didn't say bang your wife, but I didn't, I'm trying to lighten it up for the, for the families. What embarrassing question to be asked? Can you imagine? Can Afroman make you a cock? Let's listen here and watch Afroman celebrating his giant victory in the trial of the

century. So there's been a lot of talk about A.I. Slop and videos going around. And yesterday, Jess was talking with the guy's pants fall, is it even a real video? If you would have told me, this was A.I. I would have been like, yeah, you know what? It is. It absolutely is because where is Afroman coming with a white mink coat with a USA suit around NPCs behind him screaming, yeah, America, power to the people. You know that his Twitter account bio has him as a

2024 presidential candidate. And no, he did. He had a short run. Put it on the poll, please, at Levittard Show was Afroman in the trial of the century. And also put it on the poll, did you know that two live crew went all the way to the Supreme Court to win a free speech case?

I read that Val Kilmer with his family and his family's estate's approval Val Kilmer,

“we lost him to cancer. And the movie is called as Deep as the Grave. They are resurrecting”

posthumously Val Kilmer and going to make a movie that he wanted made was trying to make what was too sick to make. And I'm wondering as we head down this path. As soon as A.I. figures out, how to make people care about a movie star, the movie star will be entirely replaced. To this minute, the movie star is worth less than the movie star has been worth,

but still has a relevance. There are a number of people that will still get you to watch a movie

just because they're the one making it. But we're not far off from A.I. being able to figure out how to make fake personalities that people actually care about. I hear this argument all the time and people are essentially forecasting this for the movie industry. Let me ask you this question.

“Do you think sports fans ever want to hear A.I. talk sports? I think we're in an industry that's”

pretty safe. I genuinely do. You can have the greatest A.I. personality, but ultimately sports fans want to commiserate with another human being because of what it makes us feel. And if you have an entity that itself can't really feel or at least you can't trust the way that it feels, you're not going to connect with that person. And while I do think that there will be A.I. movies, and I'm not even saying they're going to be bad. I think they'll be considered like animated

movies. It's always going to be a gimmick to real-life human beings. I feel some kind of way about it,

but if it's is dying wish to have artificial intelligence make this movie and its families on board, I understand it. Let's give it a whirl. But I never anticipate humans messing with this on a total complete level. Understand what you're saying there, however, in this particular case, they're resurrecting the dead. This is not, it's not a person, but it's not the first time that's happened. But it's not it's not a person that's going to be starring in your movie, but they're

going to recreate a person that you have feelings about that is someone who might have gotten you to a movie once upon a time. And you're largely not going to be able to tell the difference. There are many people who will watch it, who will not know that that person is dead. There are many people who will watch it, who will not know that the person that's acting for them is not a real person. I agree with Mike on everything he said, sports related content with A.I. just may not hit the

same can A.I. do this. And a position by the way where the EU up and swallow you up. And you know what? That I even tried to say that. All right. But you haven't said much since then. I couldn't do it. Play it again. What? What were we talking about at a position by the way where the EU up and swallow you up and you know what? That I even tried to say that. All right. Bear the Jeremy laugh with the David Samson laugh pair. Have them both go back and forth here.

“I think I like that one so much just because you go back and forth here. I think I like that one so much,”

just because you guys jump on me for saying double you wrong. So when it's that bad, it was a bad. It was a bad. You said, you said, you said double you when we were talking about the women in the dummy and be getting their ass you just didn't negotiate. But anything.
