The Big Suey: Mike's Chocolate Friends (feat. Jessica Smetana)

You have to think about the story.

No, I don't know. This story is my taste base. Do you know everything about it? Yes, exactly.

“This story is the story of the story that you just understood.”

The story of the studio, the job and the music. It's amazing. It doesn't feel like a story. The story is about the story. The story is about the story.

With this story. Welcome to the big story. Presented by draft Kings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast.

I'm sorry. I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries. That if they're just there, that hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it.

And now, here's the marching men to nowhere. That face and the habitual liar.

This episode of The Dan Levitard Show is presented by draft Kings.

Draft Kings. The crown is yours. Brown himself. 10 count. Look at that.

Fireworks on the screen. We did it, everybody. We made it to Friday. Oh, Friday. Friday's got fields you just got here.

It's a Friday. It is a weird, weird move that I used to make fun of. One of my former co-hosts and local radio Brett Romberg used to pull this move. Where Romberg would be on vacation. And he'd missed the week, but he'd come back on Friday.

And you would do the show. Why are you back? Like, I had that thought when I heard you were coming in. Right. It's a weird move that I just picked.

You could have so easily just gone home. Yeah. Oh, okay. So team that that speaks to my character. Right. I thought I was supposed to be back.

I was supposed to be back on Friday. I love one of my kids home. I was supposed to be back on Friday, but we came back a day early. So I was like, you know what? I can come in and work.

That speaks to my character. Okay. Thank you for acknowledging that.

“Jessica, would you like to acknowledge that as well?”

I would acknowledge that I thought you meant your character on the show, which I was going to say what character. But now I realize you meant your character is in your moral, upstanding. That's right. That I also don't know very much about yourself.

Do you have a do you have an arena or stadium just that you had heard great things about? You got to go visit it. You got to catch a game there and then you went to know the dump. Uh, okay. Wouldn't say dump, but I didn't love Jerry World.

I got to be honest. Oh. Too big. Too big. You're just too big.

But I also went for a college football game, which not a college football stadium. So. All right. Women's final four tonight. Help me out here.

Okay. I know you follow closely. I followed on the periphery. Uh, you know, like I, you know, the deal. I'm dumped.

Did you show us a yes. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. You're going to backwards hat.

What I mean by that is I do shows on ESPN. So I have to know what's going on. That's what it was. White male. You know the deal.

That's what I mean. All right. So my wife to calm down. But help me out here. It just, I don't know.

I do care. I never works. I never works. I don't know. I don't know.

I've never worked. All right. Anyway, tonight is the women's final four. But help me out here. Like, as there been, as there been a day yet in this women's tournament.

It was like, wow. We, we had a great slate of games today. I feel like there's been really great games. But the, the best four teams that have been the best four teams this whole season. That were the best four teams at the end of last season.

Have just been a step above the teams behind them. So the great games I would say have been mostly amongst those teams with themselves. And so last weekend, the elite eight games were all. I wouldn't say they were all like huge blowouts. I'd say like the Texas Michigan game was a huge blowout.

But like some of them are closed, but you could obviously tell like the better team was going to win by 15 to 20 points. But I would say like between, yeah, like the fifth to 25th ranked teams and beyond that. There were some really good games in the mix. There's just four teams this year that were so much better than everyone else. So tonight, like, we fully expect then.

We're getting games tonight. Like these two get these two games tonight are going to be games.

“I think so I think the you can South Carolina game right now.”

I saw the point spread was like four and a half points five and a half points. Something like that. So like that's pretty close six and a half. Six and a half. Okay, you see like Texas will like one and a half.

Yes, the later game. So I think you can South Carolina. I'm really happy that's a final four game and not a potential championship game. Cause that was what the championship game was last year. I think this is a really exciting game because South Carolina is kind of the underdog.

And like they're just never really the underdog.

This has been a dynasty program under Don Staley for the last decade plus. And right now, you kind of is coming in as the team with. It has not lost a game yet the season. But also like you can if you kind of makes it to the final four and loses the season's a failure, right?

Can kind of play spoiler to that.

“But just that this is the championship game, right?”

The winner of this whole thing will come out of you con USC. I wouldn't say so. I think, you know, UCLA is really, really good. UCLA has won some tough games this year. I think there was a modest debate whether or not UCLA and you or you kind of should have been the overall one see.

They have Lauren bats on their team who's a six seven center. She's really good. Kiki Rice who's going to be a lottery pick. Yeah, I saw that. Really nice kind of be a lottery pick in the WMB draft.

And then Texas has Madison Booker. They've been playing really well. They're coming back. South Carolina and the SEC championship game. What, you know, less than a month ago.

So obviously we know they can go head to head to South Carolina. So I wouldn't say that necessarily. I would kind of say that about the men's final four. I think Arizona and Michigan, whoever wins that game, I probably would make them, you know, my favorite to win the championship.

But you never know. You con, you know, wasn't that long ago when they were doing literally all the winning.

It was really easy to root against.

They're not going to win the championship. They're going to win the championship. They're going to win the championship. They're going to win the championship. They're going to win the championship.

They're going to win the championship. They're going to win the championship. We actually had a spirit of debate on whether he could have been talking about the president of his homeowners. Or maybe a car dealership nearby.

What was your reaction when you saw it? Not only what he said about how he said it and we got the video here so we could roll it. They're just keeping down here with us, please. Yeah, I was talking to the president. Oh, the handflip.

It's not handflip. He's just like no big deal. This thing here.

Can you guys know who he's dating, right?

Yeah, dating. Yeah, it was dating. He's dating. Don Jr's X-Wife. Really?

Yeah, but also even before that, obviously tight. Very tight. From the president, obviously. I think the metal of freedom. I wanted to respect it.

And they go whole fine. I didn't know you were doing a thing where he was forgotten. It was cold. Yeah, they're buddies.

“So I think he really did mean the president.”

And I'm assuming that he said that too. I mean the cops already knew he was Tiger Woods. I'm assuming. But I assume that he named dropped the president to try to be like, "You guys like that guy, right?"

Well, does that help? Because the cops definitely know he's Tiger Woods.

If you know he's Tiger Woods and you're not about to let him off.

Isn't there like nothing Tiger can do at this point to get off then? That's one hell of a hell, Mary. I would assume that's the case. So I would assume and given how I've read some of the transcripts. I watched some of the body camera stuff.

The officer who arrested him was like, "I can't let you go." You don't seem okay. I have to do the right thing. Maybe if this was a borderline case.

But again, I wasn't there. I don't know. I've just seen the videos and he did not seem well. Have you seen the memes made of the picture? I've seen every meme of him kneeling down where he looks like a high school football coach.

That's a good one. That's a good one. Breaking a huddle or breaking it to the little league team

“that they're not getting new cleats for the season.”

That's my person. I never heard of it. It's a bad situation. But yeah, that did not make him look good. And now it's April 3rd.

And we've gotten two DUI videos of celebrities on our timelines. The Justin Timberlake won. I mean, did you see Justin Timberlake? I saw it. I thought I saw it when it happened.

This was like a year ago or so. It was a while ago. It's been a while. You saw one part of it. You saw just the clip of him standing outside of the car.

Yeah. And maybe for just a moment walking. But this was, I mean, this was it. It felt like we were getting the extended version. Oh, yeah.

We got the director's cut. He's in the station. He's smelling out the form. It says race. Why?

Which I thought was, well, that was good. What? Have you ever heard of the showman turning it on? That's the charm, right?

“Have you ever watched a movie and then watched the director's cut?”

And you're like, whoa, director's cut. So much better. I've seen both. I've seen director's cut. So much better.

I've seen, yeah, the studio was right. The director's cut's better in the studio was right. Absolutely. Well, you don't have the Lord of the Rings of Directors' cut. I don't think I've ever seen Lord of the Rings of Directors' cut.

Four and a half hours. Oh, my God. The return of the king is so. How does the director, what when he makes the movie? Before the studio tells him, you got to cut it down.

How does he think then four and a half hours is an acceptable movie to point theaters? Um, because, yeah, I don't know. And they filmed all that stuff. They want to use it.

There's been a lot of money on that scene with the, uh, saran, the mouth of saran. They want to put that in the movie. Hello friends. Hello listeners.

The Unlabotard Mr. sure if I may say for a second.

Miami, they were circulating the snap count, the entire game, and they were clapping at the line of scrimmage.

“And the only thing I want to see clapping are them cheeks.”

On this bet in my face, my shirt. Alright, so that's one thing. 2-Gats. There are a bunch of cheaters then. And you know who should be cheating?

This is Met on Mr. Met. And you can watch if you want. This is the Unlabotard Show with a 2-Gats. I do think that there is like one really good example of the directors cut totally changing the movie experience.

Making a bad movie, something that's at least taller. What? No, no, no, no. Not a sad cut. It's Miami Vice.

Miami Vice. Really? The Mike Loves The Directors Cut. The Directors What? The Miami Vice is much better.

Do they still know a good place to get a boy? You bet you're right. Okay, so directors cut with so much longer or longer. Like it was longer but like so famously, there were all sorts of problems on the on the set.

Jamie Foxx at one point quit the film, which is why the movie is almost the one that was in theaters. Jamie Foxx is like barely in it. Oh really? So it does plug a few holes in it.

And it makes it. It shouldn't have been Miami Vice. And I think Michael Mann even said like in one quote. He's like, I just wanted to do this cop movie

“and the only way that I can get the studio to do it.”

Was by saying I'm returning to the Miami Vice franchise. But it's not a Miami Vice movie. It's way too dark. If you get that out of your mind, it's actually like a not bad cop movie.

I don't really, I don't know that I do directors cuts.

And I say that because obviously I've seen the studio version first.

And I don't then go back and watch the directors cut. Because I feel like then the whole movie. I'm only just looking out for the stuff I didn't see. I'm with you. I'm with you too because like with a Snyder cut.

Like okay, I'm going to give you another chance to disobey the movie. Yeah, but and I had to be convinced to do the Miami Vice thing. But the internet was really insistent. No, it's actually not that bad if you watch the directors kind of. I'm kind of confused.

I'm kind of with you because I do get that paranoia. That wasn't in the original version. Yes, yes. Oh yeah, my bad it was. Just let the movie wash over you.

Don't think about it too hard. I guess so. I guess so. Mike, can you can you tell me what happened at the Washington. Because I, I was away this week. And I caught everything that happened.

But there was some things that slipped through the crack. Mike, sit this one out. I got this. It happened. I am that's it.

This is the most. I mean, this is I thought of you immediately. I saw this. So they had a, like, a contest. Oh, shoot a half course shot blindfolded.

If you make it, you went 10, 10. On April 1st on April 1st. And so they got the guy down there. He's blindfolded. And then all the mask.

You know, sometimes they invite mask got some other sports and other sports. Usually when it's your mask got burnt. Yeah, yeah, they do that a lot. Yeah. So they're all there.

And here we go. One, two, three. And the guy, of course, like Mrs. Horrible. Can you ask you something?

Can you hold on for a second?

When they do the mascot birthday party. Uh-huh. Like, let's say it's the Atlanta Hawks mascot's birthday party. They want to invite Bernie. Yep.

Does, does, does. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes.

Probably makes so much more money for that appearance than he does his normal.

Put it up. Put a pin in it. I will explain the whole world. Okay. You'll come back tomorrow.

Put it up. Put it up. Can play. Okay. Put it up.

“So the guy, of course, misses it horribly.”

But he's blindfolded. So everyone cheers. Like, hey, what did he do? Oh, my God. You made it.

And they give him the big novelty checking. He's jumping up and down. And that's got to celebrating.

And then the innerine host says, wait a second.

Let's watch the video again. And it shows him missing. Like, oh, sorry. It checks not yours. Now what's the crowd doing during all of this?

Well, they were cheering when they was like, hey, because we were playing along. Well, they played along. Well, they were cheering when they was like, hey, because we were playing along. Well, they played along. Well, they were told to kind of play along.

Yes. They played along. And then they pulled a check. And then, you know, people boo to whatever. And so it's not even the first time that's been done.

And it's outrage. Everyone's outrage. Outrage, the point where the wizards had to release a statement on April 2nd quote, we apologize for last night's April Fool's joke that left many wondering if we had misled a fan.

The skit involving our mascot and other members of our performance team was scripted and intended to celebrate the day. All participants were in on the joke. But we missed the mark. Our fans are our priority.

And we continue to be committed to providing a positive experience to all who attend our game. There had to be a heated debate in their, like, in the wizards, like, high up. Like, we're not releasing that, right? I'm putting that out. I 100% can guarantee you, because not only was it at the bait, but at one point, someone said,

yo, is it worth your job to fight for this? And then, oh, I just put it out. Like, that's the argument that we're-- They missed the mark. I mean, what's the mark?

Everybody there is the mark. That's the whole point. Yes. So it seemed like it seemed like the joke was on the guy who missed the shot. The whole time, right?

Yes. He thought he won 10 grand. But he was in on it. Turns out, the joke was on everyone else who thought it was a real skit. And I feel like, in that case, they kind of got us.

Like, it's kind of-- Pretty good. Pretty good. Why didn't you apologize it?

But Jessica, what, first of all, it's 2026.

Why are we still falling for things on April 1st? They should have ended that statement within it. This was all in April fools. We don't even mean this. I know, yeah.

Not enough hard. That's the real fast. Second of all, my first job in basketball was working game ops. And so we would do this stuff all the time. So let me tell you something.

The thing where there's a fan of the other team. And the mascot comes to the team. Yeah. That's real, right? Nope.

That guy works for the team. They bought a jersey from the other team. Just for him to have a cake, a mushed in his face. All of these things are made up.

“Hey, you know, when there's like, hey, which one of these trivia questions is the answer?”

You know what we do right before we go on air? We tell the guy the answer. What about when they do the kiss cam? And the guy goes to kiss a girl. And she says no.

And so then she turns to the guy next to him. And they kiss. That's real, right? Right, don't. Also manufactured.

Here's one of my favorite ones. Because Tom Havasho, the great Tom Havasho did not know this. When they do the loud meter. Guys get louder themselves. You're lying.

Because the crowd gets louder. That's not a meter. That's just the video. That's like the cut kiss cam.

I would never be a part of the cut.

Do you like the cut kiss cam? Never. I would never be a part of that. So when it comes to the mascots. Yeah.

This is all. And it's a secret society. All know each other, right? What? And bear the whole thing, probably.

The whole thing rests on. Hey, when you invite me, hey, when we go to this birthday, whatever. Flight, hotel, and a nice appearance feat. So they all are incentivized to do it. Because like, oh, yeah, my team's on the road.

Hell yeah, I'm going to get on a flight, go to Washington, hang out. And you're saying that like as if the mascot is in charge of like the finances. No, no, they, man, they are in charge.

“First of all, the mascot are incredibly well paid, right?”

The Denver, the Denver mascot makes like 600 grand a year. Dude, they're incredibly well. You didn't know that? Why would I know that? Because you don't want a lot of stuff.

You got a big ahead. Yeah, they, they, they, when I worked with the Panthers, a guy that was like Stanley C Panthers was also in charge of like some operations and logistics. They, they are so involved in the community.

They go to all these events. Everyone just assumes like, uh, Denver's mascot just repels. And that's all he does on game days. He works like three days a week.

I think you guys soon. He was an hour late. Big, big kick behind him. And that's all they do. Harry the Hawk in Atlanta.

Not only was like crazy pay. But he had his own separate mascot company. So if you wanted like the Chick-fil-A, uh, cow to show up and then cow and then... He's recording the market on Atlanta, have mascots.

And the all of them had to come through his company. You want to book mascots? You got to go through him. Sounds very mafia, so. I'm so excited.

It's a secret society, man. mascot mafia. Man, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that. So you're telling me like Bernie when he makes these appearance,

Absolutely beautiful.

But what else would it be?

I'm confused. You think they just, you know, form that? They do the renting a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, every arena. Every arena. Every arena has all the mascot suits.

Just put someone in it. I like the idea that if there's dozens of auto the oranges laying around. No, I like the idea that that he would look like the Bobo mascot that you get in, like, time square. And, you know, it's like they're really dressed down.

It's a ponytail coming out. It's a ponytail coming out. It's a little gut coming out. That's right. I like that.

Well, man, it's like, and you ask like, they all have these budgets for these things, like Bernie's birthday or whatever. And so they know, hey, I'm going to take care of my people because it comes back around. And again, they know all each, all of them across sports, baseball, football,

hockey, everything. Wow. I love the idea of like some mascot, like off duty, listening to our show right now, and just feeling alone because they don't have a lot of friends. I mean, it's telling you that they all hang out.

“And he's like, no, I think I don't hang out with any of the other”

mascots. They're probably like, I mean shut up, right? It's a way to get you. Yeah, land a guy speaking of the Atlantic guy. Just, I don't know if you saw this or heard this.

So the Hawks played the magic two nights ago. It was on Wednesday nights. The Hawks never lose. So they blew out the magic.

First before I get into this, like, can Hawks win a series?

Yeah, absolutely. So they got real team. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. How? They defend their versatile.

They make threes. They're very well coach. The contrary to the beliefs of Dan Lebetard. And like, they've got some vets. They got everything.

You got a little bit of everything. Not a little bit. They got Mike Ray on the vets. It's right. I mean, they're like, they're, like, they are in trend.

They're in the, they're the five seed. Now they're not going to catch four. But they're. We were worried though. Yeah.

They're four games. I don't know. They wouldn't worry. They've got five of them. Yeah, yeah.

And by the way, if you played Detroit and who knows what kids

going to look like in the second round.

Like, you hope he's back and he's fine. But it's pretty obvious. If he's not like, he's had a big enjoyment on. Trey on. That they are this much better after losing him.

Yeah. Yes. Okay. Don Lebetard. Fake.

I don't like Smitty either. Still gots. Women stay home in the kitchen where they belong. This is the Don Lebetard show with their still gots. A couple of nights ago.

Hawks and magic.

“And there was a, you may remember the Hawks radio voice.”

Mike Ryan, you may remember. Right. Here's a go. The streets up. It was the 2009.

Oh. 2009. Postseason where the Hawks play the heat in the first round. And James Jones mixed it up with someone for the Hawks. And this was like one of the worst seven game series of all time.

Every game was a blowout. It was a seven game series. I flew to Atlanta for game seven. It was a playout. Watch the heat gets smoked on a Sunday afternoon in game seven.

I went to that game. It was off. Yeah. And we were still trying to position. Compete put position for like the pie in the sky.

Big three. Right. Right. We were two years in front of the summer of 2010. Yeah.

And so. Jermaine O'Neill got us. Right. Jermaine O'Neill in playing game seven. Yeah.

Jermaine O'Neill got us. Right. Jermaine O'Neill in playing game seven. He had a concussion. So anyway, that was the series where there was a bit of a scuffle early in the series.

And he was like game three or game four something like that. Steve Holman is the Atlanta Hawks radio voice. He's been there voice like 30 years. He's like an institution there. But he's kind of a crazy person.

And you may remember back then. The Miami heat up resorted to thuggery. And just on and on. Oh, here it is. Now, hopefully drives. He goes up and get knocked out hard. Oh, my goodness. The heat has resorted to thuggery.

And hell, hope we're slow to get up. My heavy. They're down by 19 and they have to resort to the street stuff. That should be a playground foul. These Miami heat players are street bugs. Damn.

Dan is so mad. We're talking about this about it. This. That sounds like the 1960s. Done. Right.

“Can you replace Alhorford with a different player's name?”

One of the funniest parts of it is the way that he says, "Oh, Miami heat or down by 19." It feels like he's like in today's game. You're down by 40. Yeah.

You know, it's saying they're down by 90. They're down by 40. There's a lot of street stuff. Right. Right. That's what 19.0.

At a lake. It's less nine. We're like back then. So that is Steve Holman. And that is not an isolated.

You know, occurrence. That type of call. So two nights ago, Jess Orlando was facing Atlanta. And go go betodsy of Luca Donchich. I will f your entire family fame.

Go go betodsy committed a hard foul. And on someone from Atlanta. And here was the call. In the lane.

Not the way they go. Right to Jonathan.

“For me, the now the job goes up and got foul hard.”

Jock land deal. Just got knocked down.

A terrible dirty place by the Orlando magic.

This is what they do. They just knocked down. Jock land deal and hurt him badly. Oh, my goodness. Somebody should get thrown out of this game.

What a dirty rotten team. This Orlando magic is. Oh, my goodness gracious. Jock land deal got knocked down hard. Tyson Daniels wanted to go over and help him.

Pray to God that Jock land deal is not hurt badly. Folks, that was a dirty rotten play by Orlando. I don't care what anybody says or anybody replays on this one. This is a dirty rotten team. They get down by 30 points.

And this is what they do. They are dirty rotten players. Every one of them on that team. Can't take the losing. A hawks are going to be foreign.

Oh, against this team. They win. They can play on everything. And then they go to dirty rotten tactics. But that's he has no business even being in the league.

Go go.

But that's he should be thrown out of the game.

Throwing out of the league for a play like that. He has no talent. Dirty rotten player. They're going to come over. Look at this.

They better throw him out on a flagric too. There's no doubt that this should be a flagric too. If they call anything else, it's wrong. The prior fails in our view for a potential flagric fail. No kidding.

Thank you very much. That boy. He's so obvious. He's going to do that. I love this guy.

Awesome. No kidding. That's the answer. On under the age of 90s, say dirty rotten. That is an old man's phrase.

Like when he says, go go bataji should be thrown out the league. Like at that point, you question whether or not it's a real call. And yes, that is a real call. That was hit land to Hawks radio. Two nights ago.

By the way, go bataji. The player who a jocklondeau, the player who he heard got up and walked off under his own bound. The entire fails in our view for a potential flagric fail. No kidding.

Thank you very much. He called that in the light. Captain, obviously.

“Could there have been a funny or rough name to say in that moment?”

It's a good one. It's a good one. It's perfect. Oh my god. I do like also his adjustment, right?

Like 20 years ago it was. They're down by 19 and that's like insurmountable. Yeah, right. The new conversion rate is they're down by 30. Right.

Right. And it's because the magic are our own four against Atlanta this year. So they have to, they're a dirty rotten team. Seven times. He said dirty rotten.

Yeah, they are dirty rotten players. Every one of them on that team. Can't take the losing. The Hawks are going to be foreign. Oh, against this team.

They win. I love that every last one of them. And also the idea that like I don't care what anyone says. I don't care what you replay. Like he's basically waiting for this to be played on.

He knows it's going to get clipped. Yeah. Like every player. Like the Wagner brothers. I could see you saying they're dirty.

Desmond Bain. He's got a little bit of that. But there's not every one guy on the team. He's not dirty rotten. Anthony Black.

You're dirty. Not one guy is not dirty rotten. You're dirty. Daily sucks, get out of here. Daily sucks seems like a nice guy.

Dirty rotten. Every one of them. Just. I heard a rumor that Hershey is changing the recipe to Reese's. But the thing that shocked me was the headline said they're changing it back.

And I said, I never knew they changed it to begin with.

Well, we talked about this on the show because a few months ago, the Reese's air like the grandson of the guy that started Reese's. Jerry's. I don't remember his first day. Honestly.

He liked it. Tommy Reese. He sent a letter. I read a LinkedIn post accusing Hershey's of changing the recipe. And basically like the equivalent of like watering down the recipe to the Reese's cups.

And exactly like the chocolate's less chocolatey and the peanut butter's less peanut buttery. And then there was a whole backlash outrage. So you know, everyone said, you know what? People including me said, I've been saying this for a while. This is real.

This is not tasty. This is not tasty, right? Some of these races do not taste good. In fact, I stopped eating them all together. And I used to be a fan, especially this time of year when the eggs would come out.

Because everyone knows that is the best Reese's shape. Now is it also for the pieces? No.

“I think the pieces recipe is a newer concoction.”

And has remained. Got it. Peanut buttery, hard coated and delicious. Damn. I have not noticed a quality change in pieces.

No, it is not a piece. It's pieces. No, it's Reese's piece. What are pieces? Reese's.

That's one step away from pieces. This guy tied everybody in the letter. Todd, you built a career on the belief that a good story is a heart of any conversation. This guy is in the chocolate industry circle. All right, which I'm very dialed into.

Considered a coup. You have chocolate friends? Yeah. Well, though, I read a Darrell.

What on now? You've met you well? Oh, yeah. No, like Darren Revelle said, like this guy tries this every year.

And he's finally gotten traction on this.

“Even though I think like Darren Revelle was one of the people that put it out there.”

He's on the food and confection be. So that would make sense. Apparently his family has had an axe to grind since they sold Reese's. Well, I mean, fair enough, if they made the product crappier. But I saw a CBS story Zaz from this week, which now I'm like, this was on April 1st.

So hopefully it wasn't a joke. And it said Hershey said it will use classic recipes for all Reese's products starting next year. A change that comes after the grandson of Reese's founder criticized the company for shifting to cheaper ingredients. So I'll tell you, I don't get stuff like this. You know, who was eating Reese's back that, you know, before they changed the recipe like you know what?

Let's change this. Everybody liked Reese's. Why do they want to probably save money because they probably could. Yeah, exactly. It says you sell the company and then the quality goes down the shitter.

That's how it works in this area.

Why use good stuff when you can do cheap stuff and then make more money.

So I'm sort of the opposition stuff that I've seen as that it's been changed for a very long time. Like with the the information that he's using is dated because it's like he's using original recipe stuff from when it's family owned it. And he's just bitter that they sold it for what they did. So I'm looking at his LinkedIn, right?

“And I'm looking at, you know, this sound LinkedIn.”

His name is Brad by the work. Brad Reese. And most of them. So you got, I've got just a smattering. You know how they have some just ones on the side.

Reggie Grant, managing director at Alliance Networking, Lee Lippton, Prince Woener, Benny's on the beach. Alexander Barnett, International Correspondence, Specializing in golf, Boating, etc. Right Brad Reese. His thing is protecting Reese's brand integrity.

That's his job. And then he signs off the letter with that. And then also grandson of H.B. Reese parentheses. Who invented Reese's? That's the case. We're lost on why this guy is opining here.

I mean, hey, I mean, if you're grandfather invented one of the most iconic products in America. And then you grew up one day and that product didn't taste good anymore. Would you try to protect the family legacy? I mean, this is your last name. I can't lend money because the reality got that much money.

Oh, that's what Mike is saying, Lee. You sold low, that's part of the narrative. That's what Mike say. I'm not saying that for the wrong time. No, that sucks.

You know what? It's what my chocolate friends tell me. I went. I went to college with the, the grandson of the I'ms. Like, and they sold it.

Like, they sold it generations ago to Pirina. And so like, his last name is I'ms. But he's like, just a regular guy. But everyone thinks like, yo, the ions in the, yeah, yeah, my family. Oh my god, like, as a result, when we go in the chopper, I'm like, no, I drive a carola.

You can check chest out or weekly podcast with Michael Jr. The echoes. Great job, Jess. Good to see you. Oh, we didn't ask you.

Oh my god. Um, I, I mean, I hope she, they're handling it and private seems like a. No, no, no, I'm not. Things like something's going on. Sure, there's an issue.

Something's going on. I'm just saying in her role as like, You know, the day we're still, if we're still playing. I'm a PR stand. Yeah.

Like, she's a heck of a Notre Dame.

A second biggest Catholic institution.

If they were still playing, she would have to have said something. And one of her availability's, right? Sure. Someone would have asked her a question about it. Um, my opinion on it.

I mean, is that, well, here's my question for you first. Do you think he's having some sort of like mental health? 1,000%. Okay. I agree with you.

I think some people think he's not. And they're like, you speak in his mind.

“You should be allowed to, we call those people.”

I think he's having. Right. Um, I think he's having some sort of mental health issue. It seems like, and if that's the case, I think she should. I respect that.

I think she should handle that in private. But he's also like, a grown adult man and has a wife and kid. So she's not like the only family member in his life. It seems, but certainly feel bad for everyone in that situation. I've been following his career for like a long time.

Because, you know, she was, he was, he went to high school in South Bend. And practiced with the Notre Dame on his basketball team when he was younger. And, um, when he was drafted and when he was in college, he did interviews and talk about how he was really close with a lot of the players on the team. And he looked up to them and they were role models to him. And, um, so to me, like, this whole thing, I know it's been kind of growing for a while.

But it seems like it kind of came out a lot of field based on how I perceived him when he was in college.

And was really had like super high trajectory from basketball standpoint.

“So this whole thing has been kind of weird and seems like something is not right there.”

Again, the echoes, her weekly Notre Dame podcast with my goal, junior, great job, Jess.

Thanks. Bye.
