Plus, it's a Wild Billy Wednesday so we dive deep on Mango Mountain Dew available exclusively at Little Caesars, why Mike Fuentes joined Cameo, and whether Dan was too much of an asshole to Chris and Greg Cote yesterday.

Chapter 1: Who was David Starr and why is his passing significant to the show?
What did I wear my first day as an intern? All right, now you're being a dick.
I do want to take the opportunity to say we had an original production director over at 790, David Starr, and I found out last week that he passed away. So thoughts and prayers to his family. I'm sorry to bring the vibes down, but 790 holds a special place in our heart, and Dave Starr was a big part of that station.
I did not know that. I am learning that now. I texted you. I texted you and Sugatz. I texted you and Sugatz. That's bad ball.
Marty Schottenheimer, too. Whoa. Whoa. I thought it was big enough news to let you guys know personally. And I thought it was weird that neither you or Sugatz responded to that. I guess you guys weren't big Dave Starr guys. Yep.
I don't think you can really start a sentence where everyone's laughing, saying not to bring down the vibes, but someone you know died. And you're informing me of that because I didn't see it on the text.
I was waiting for an organic place. While we were laughing? Well, he mentioned 790. That was organic. A door opened for him. You've got to walk through it. You guys are talking about Tyrese Halliburton. I'm like, Dan, David Starr died.
And we never talk about 790, so that was our one opportunity. The window was so shut.
Zaz, how are you feeling about the David Starr news story?
Yeah, I was a little bit bummed when I saw it a few days ago.

Chapter 2: What happened during Wild Billy Wednesday and how did it affect the hosts?
Yeah.
I don't think we should be telling people what is real and what is not real as people, for example, wonder about the whereabouts of Stugatz. And I kind of wish that was a bit. But I don't understand why Stugatz was on the schedule four days this week and hasn't gotten here yet. He's still in Newark.
My gain.
Well, this is what's happening right now. This is what's happening. Zaz is like, I'm on a heater, man. I can't believe Stugatz is leaving the seat open.
No, we were talking back here. It's been a weird couple of days on the show. And Chris asked aloud, like, what do you think Zaz is thinking these last few days? And Billy just picks his head up from his papers and he goes, cha-ching. They can wise love money. I got to go into work tomorrow morning.
Again with this, with all people love money, Zaslow. That's true. It's not just wives. Husbands also love money. Yeah, that's true. Really? We're the show now that plays a cash register sound?
It's a little tribute to Dave Starr. Dave would have loved that, and his son, too.
Why don't you find me? He did love his son. He really did.
Say that.

Chapter 3: What is the story behind the strained relationship and communication issues among the hosts?
Yeah. You know, I did miss that. That is true. And that's fair. I'm under a lot of different stuff now. But the thing I had requested from you and Izzy, you guys didn't actually like all you said is, yeah, we answered your questions by telling you we weren't going to send any of the things you asked for. Yes, because we explained why they were unnecessary. It's an answer.
It is an answer, but it's not a completion.
It's not the right answer.
It's not the completion of the task, right? It's just to tell me, no, I can't do that, isn't really completing what it is that I've requested.
Dan, it's like you said, hey, let's bake a cake. We said, fine. He said, you know what we really need? Shrimp. And like, Dan, our response was, I don't think we need shrimp for a cake. And you're like, I haven't heard back. Are we doing the shrimp or not?
Yeah. He's given the shrimp some thought, some more thought. Circling back on the shrimp.
Do you guys have any thoughts on the ravaging the Pacers just gave the Cleveland Cavaliers? Because I said yesterday the Pacers can beat anybody, and that's not true. They can't beat OKC. But playing that style of basketball on – I mean – on any game, they can be good enough to beat you. But doing this to Cleveland, right?
Because I didn't actually write off OKC, though I want to hear your thoughts on this. I mean, I'm just respecting the best player in the world and probably not respecting OKC's defense enough because I have so rarely seen Jokic look like he looked in games three and four and Denver was still in those games. But I'm not writing off anybody. I'm just respecting the best player in the world.
You kind of wrote them off, Dan. You sounded every alarm because they lost game one. And I said, Dan, it's the playoffs. This happens all the time. All they got to do is win one in Denver, and we're back at square one. And that's exactly what Oklahoma City did, and now they won one up ahead on game five.

Chapter 4: How did the Pacers' recent performance impact their playoff chances?
He gets in the lane without even looking at the rim.
They even mentioned it on the broadcast last game. Why didn't he shoot that?
Yeah, he's driving looking to pass, looking for someone else to give the ball.
Like here, Gary Payton III, you shoot instead of me.
Or just even initiating the contact and going through it. Some of that is Rudy Gobert. But even when Gobert is off the floor, he's not looking aggressive. And it's weird. But here's the thing, Dan. If he comes out tonight and has 40 and they win, and then Steph comes back next game, all is forgiven.
But my question to you is legitimately, can he, right? Because when we talked yesterday about Giannis,
Which was amazing the way you guys talked about it. Like, oh, he's not in his prime. I'm like, what are you talking about? He had the best year of his career. Is he any worse than he was like a year or two ago?
No. Okay, this is his prime. Usually in basketball, the prime isn't at 30. Look, you just look at it.
You want to know what the prime is? Oh, look at that. Oh, yeah, that's its prime.

Chapter 5: What does the podcast say about Jimmy Butler's playoff performance and health concerns?
Wait, so in the pantheon, it's Patrick Mahomes one, number two, Derek White.
I'm still stuck on the complete and obvious lie. That Mike Ryan's going to have the sound on the next game tonight.
It is a lie.
No, you got me. Get the hell out of here. You got me.
Get those chickens ready. I said that for a fact.
Oh, wow. Delayed chickens.
Yo, chicken time.
I'm a chicken. Yeah.
Hand up. I'll admit it when I'm wrong. I was wrong there. I lied.

Chapter 6: What are the perspectives on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s current prime and future sustainability?
Look me up. Zazz, here's the deal. Because you're asking for a price point. If I'm going to be honest with you, we're a little bit past the boom of Cameo. Yes. So like when we got in, it was like peak Cameo. And I, like Mike, held off for a couple of days because I was like, I don't know if this. I was like, I don't know if I'm the right personality tone.
I don't know if I'm going to be a fit for Cameo.
That's how I feel. I don't know. Billy's honestly perfect for Cameo.
People ended up liking what I was doing. But I waited a couple of days and then famously announced that I joined Cameo on January 6th as they were storming the Capitol because I didn't know what was going on. You could hear that full story of Mystery Crate from a couple of weeks ago if you'd like.
So it was actually kind of around when we left ESPN.
Yeah, it was. It was like first thing everybody did because we weren't allowed to at ESPN. So anywho, I set a price. And then at the time, again, it was like the boom of Cameo. And they send you like you have a Cameo rep. And the rep was like, you might want to up your price. Like significantly because you're meeting a demand. And he wanted me to like triple my price.
I was like, I'm not going to do that. I'll be like $5 and that's it. But at the boom, Zazz, it was like 30 cameos a day that I had due. And they would call me in the morning like, hey, you have all these due. You got to do it. You got to do all this stuff. It has since cooled down.
But a piece of advice that I will give you as someone who is still pretty active on the cameo and still gets videos and had to do some and I had to do the Mountain Dew one. And that was one that was expired. If you join, you got to do them. Because we have some people here who have joined recently. We have Mike Fuentes. I saw you join a cameo for some reason.
What? Yeah.

Chapter 7: What are the hosts' thoughts on the Knicks and Celtics playoff series outlook?
Chapter 8: What humorous moments and running jokes appear in this episode?
shadow show shadow show shadow show shadow show shadow show shadow show shadow in it shadow in it i should probably ask billy this question directly but i'm afraid to talk to him now that he's got this empowering wednesday uh and it's uh gone to his head a little bit But I will ask the rest of you, instead of Billy, because I don't want to look him in the eye.
15.
Is it more or less than 15 years? 15 sounds about right.
Before including internship?
I think 15 is about right. Billy, do you have an exact number?
Is the prices right?
I just, do you know is what I'm saying.
Yeah, it started in 2010, so 15 years. All right, wow, they all got it.
I have an excellent memory, anything 790 related. Really?
