Chapter 3: Is Jonathan Zaslow a celebrity in sports media?

52.148 - 78.519 Dan Le Batard

I want to put this on the poll, even though I know the answer to this question here amid our audience, just because we talk so much, too much about Chris Cody owning a Sesta Cyclones highlight team. But I just want to put on the poll at Levitard show the question. Do you know what Highline is at Levitard Show? And I also want to put on there, is the sports anchor endangered? Yes or no.

0

78.679 - 100.85 Dan Le Batard

Jonathan Zaslow, who's in with us today, will have a segment on Highline here with Tony and Mike toward the end of this hour. But Jonathan Zaslow is in here today. He's a rising star at ESPN and he's a rising star at ESPN who's creating sports. ESPN on ESPN crime because a co-worker is mad at Jonathan Zaslow.

0

100.87 - 101.57 Zaslow

I heard about that.

0

101.73 - 115.396 Dan Le Batard

And Jonathan Zaslow's placement in a strange place that I wasn't expecting to find him. It is a strange thing. Jonathan Zaslow was under the banner headline. Celebrity picks.

0

115.836 - 118.658 Zaslow

College basketball celebrity picks.

Chapter 4: What are the controversies surrounding celebrity sports picks?

119.119 - 138.672 Dan Le Batard

I don't understand how you're a celebrity. I didn't understand entirely how Jay Billis would be considered a celebrity at ESPN. These are just expert picks. They're not celebrity picks. And somebody's mad that Jonathan Zaslow gets to make picks and that they don't get to make picks.

0

138.692 - 158.902 Zaslow

My name's right up top there. You got Dick Vitale, and it's a picture of him, and it's who he selects, and it's Seth Greenberg, and it's Jay Billis, and it's me. I'm right next to those guys. And there's my pick. Obviously, I picked the Florida Gators. That's my alma mater. But I'm right there. I'm right there on the Tournament Challenge app where you can compete against celebrities like myself.

0

159.222 - 179.789 Zaslow

I'm right there. And from what I understand... Not everybody is pleased with me being, because apparently my picture, my name is one of the first ones there. Clinton Yates, ESPN Radio. I heard today he is not pleased that my name is right, that my picture, my name is front and center, and he's not there. He's not happy about it. Hang with him, Clinton.

0

183.424 - 193.786 Dan Le Batard

Put it on the poll. Hang with him, Clinton. Yes or no. Roy, I saw a look across your face. I didn't know what it is that the thought was. So if you would like to share it with us, I'm here for it.

0

193.986 - 202.427 Stugotz

Yeah, probably not a good idea for me to share that right now. Clinton Yates, good guy. I'm going to defend him in most aspects.

203.127 - 206.288 Dan Le Batard

Did you just no comment me? Yes, I did. I'm with him on that.

206.308 - 213.63 Stugotz

You're putting me in a bad spot here. Roy, you were producing the day that he slept, the day that he was supposed to fill in, right? Yes, yes, I was there. Cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

214.071 - 221.298 Dan Le Batard

I don't know what the look was on your face. I was confused by the look on your face. Clinton Yates is complaining about something.

221.338 - 223.14 Zaslow

I'm a celebrity picker. That's not my fault.

Chapter 5: What is the debate on White Lotus's storytelling style?

304.593 - 310.955 Dan Le Batard

He thinks you're just somebody whose face has enraged Clinton Yates on the website because it doesn't belong next to Dick Vitale's.

0

311.015 - 315.597 Jeremy

We were trying to figure out, like, is it alphabetical maybe? But then it was like, Jonathan. It's like, no. Zaslow.

0

315.637 - 330.642 Zaslow

Nobody ever starts Z at the beginning, so it's certainly not alphabetical. It's you're trying to get people to sign up on the app. And the way you do that is you put some of your biggest celebrities in the front. And that's why you have my face right there with my pic. Everybody wants to know who I pick. Pick the Gators.

0

331.202 - 335.824 Zaslow

Everybody sees my face right there and they're like, I would love to compete against this celebrity.

0

336.894 - 347.905 Dan Le Batard

I can't believe Roy no commented me. You're talking about Clinton Yates here, man. I don't know what your relationship is with Clinton Yates. I don't know why.

347.925 - 350.288 Mike

You were next to me as I was calling. Where is Clinton?

350.428 - 351.829 Stugotz

Yes, I was. I was there.

351.889 - 353.591 Mike

The show has started. Where is Clinton?

353.611 - 355.953 Stugotz

He overslept. That's what happens sometimes.

Chapter 6: Is Shane Gillis the next big name in comedy?

740.393 - 745.115 Roy

I'm just saying Ryan Langerhans. I'm just taking this thing for a walk. See how it works.

0

745.155 - 754.829 Dan Le Batard

Taking what? A walk? Why don't you run up the flagpole and see who salutes? And you? Please, I don't want to. I don't want to imagine. Oh, no.

0

755.009 - 761.773 Stugotz

What are we doing? Whoa. You've got to. I'm bleeping that. I'm sorry. Way too far on that one.

0

761.813 - 767.496 Mike

Audio audiences are going to know. If you ain't, you're doing it wrong. Bones, I'll fist you.

0

768.377 - 788.405 Dan Le Batard

The thing that I wanted to ask you guys about Shane Gillis is he is presently selling out arenas in less than a day where he puts the tickets on sale and they sell out. right away. And that's not something I've ever seen in my life of any comedian.

789.537 - 812.26 Dan Le Batard

but whatever it is that you imagine to be the most enduring comedians because i remember kevin hart famously sold out a football stadium and was the first comedian to do that not just in philadelphia but that any of us had seen and the question i'm asking you guys is shane gillis going to go down with richard pryor and all of these all-time greats as he's done saturday night live

812.78 - 828.836 Dan Le Batard

twice in the last 11 months, and he is helping Saturday Night Live more than Saturday Night Live is helping him. And he's done it twice in 11 months after being let go by Saturday Night Live without ever appearing on Saturday Night Live. So there aren't a lot of stories like this.

828.956 - 830.878 Mike

I mean, first things first, he's got to get out of the West.

832.443 - 837.306 Dan Le Batard

Shane Gillis Alexander is the joke he's making there. Oh, that's what it was?

Chapter 7: Why is Elon Musk's popularity declining?

1037.999 - 1041.302 Dan Le Batard

I thought he didn't think it was going to make him this unpopular.

0

1041.542 - 1064.218 Mike

Yeah, because usually if politicians that climb aboard the Trump train, it's worked out. Won the popular vote and they do see, at least within their own party, their star ascend. It hasn't been the case for Elon Musk. That could also be because part of the campaign, even though he was adjacent to the campaign, the size and scope of his job, it wasn't really a campaign issue.

0

1064.238 - 1077.785 Mike

So there is a bait and switch aspect to all the power that he's getting. But yeah, this is billionaires. He's in... It's a type of super villain. It's like a Bond villain type of guy. No one's like, Bond villain is a path to likability for me.

0

1077.805 - 1080.246 Zaslow

No, he's Lex Luthor is what it feels like, right?

0

1080.546 - 1101.052 Dan Le Batard

I don't know how it is that you get to likable when what people associate with you is you're the richest person in the world. And he's not anymore, right? Like the amount of, if you can give me some of the numbers on how much money he has cost Tesla recently and himself, it is a bit breathtaking.

1101.252 - 1115.116 Dan Le Batard

And I don't even understand it, how it is that you can lose these sums or make these sums of money, even if you are on the cusp of innovation and the future and a gasless society that runs on electric cars.

1115.316 - 1124.147 Mike

Elon Musk is still the No. 1 richest person in the world, and that'll only get better because the Commerce Secretary was on Fox yesterday telling everyone to buy Teslas, which is super legal.

1124.267 - 1133.939 Jeremy

But imagine you have somebody who is the richest person in the world, has gone through all these things, and is still the richest person in the world, even though he lost all this money on stocks. How far ahead was he to then double

1134.139 - 1148.603 Dan Le Batard

to then still be there. Bezos gave away, I'm sorry, lost half of his wealth in the divorce and then quickly made it right back immediately after being divorced because of the separation between the wealthiest people in the world now and the people who don't have money.
