The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz XX
[0] You're listening to Draft King's Network.
[1] Now's a good time to remember where the story of tequila started.
[2] In 1795, the first tequila distillery was opened by the Cuervo family.
[3] And 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong.
[4] Family owned from the start, same family, same land.
[5] Now's a good time to enjoy Cuervo.
[6] The tequila that invented tequila.
[7] Go to Quervo .com to shop tequila or visit a store near you.
[8] Quervo, now's a good time.

[11] Jersey City, New Jersey, please drink responsibly.
[12] Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by Draft Kings.
[13] Why are you listening to this show?
[14] The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast.
[15] I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.
[16] In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.
[17] I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there.
[18] That hasn't happened to you guys?
[19] I've done it.
[20] And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
[21] Greg, your old dice is disgusting.
[22] It's like yellow.
[23] It looks like it's covered in bacteria and ecoli.
[24] And it made me think of Dan's question earlier about the CEN, which is apparently also riddled with E. coli.
[25] And actually, a Belgian triathlet had to pull out of the Olympics.
[26] And her team is claiming that she's been hospitalized with E. coli after swimming in the CEN.
[27] And so even after this like billion dollar cleanup effort in like constant testing, Apparently, there's still some nasty shit in that water, and athletes are swimming in it every day.
[28] It's up for debate.
[29] It's either The Tempest or even though the Internet acknowledges it's unlikely.
[30] It came from a Dutch saying in which someone was sitting in pickle brine.
[31] Okay.
[32] People back in the day really had it so much easier.
[33] They could be the first one to say anything, do anything, and then we just assume that they're like so profound.
[34] Like, oh, Billy Shakespeare, look at all these things that he wrote.
[35] It's like, yeah, well, he's the first one to string together six words because no one had the first one.
[36] the opportunity to.
[37] But they also didn't have antibiotics, so...
[38] Yeah, there's that, right?
[39] Dentistry was a bitch back then.
[40] Pickle brine, by the way, used to be a very popular drink.
[41] My dad used to drink pickle brine like water.
[42] That is appallic.
[43] Wild Bill did?
[44] No, he did.
[45] Wild Bill?
[46] He would save the jar, and when the pickles were done, he would have a glass jar this size full of pickle juice.
[47] That's smart.
[48] And he would drink it like water.
[49] I had plenty of sips of pickle juice You know you have to pay nowadays To get pickle juice Pickle flavored juice Has to be astronomical While Bill knew I bet it would Yeah Very salty A little vinegrey Very flavorful You can use as a marinade For a lot of stuff Anyway That's a tangent Yeah I'm sorry Really Do you Let me explain to you One of the joys of doing this Okay They really This is This is wonderful on rare do I get to see a glimpse of my friend quite this clearly after all of these years as he descends into fossilized age.
[50] Him talking about pickle brine, he just nostalgically wandered off toward that time and forgot he was on a radio show just thinking to himself old thoughts about his dad.
[51] And he forgot he was with us.
[52] He got lost in the memories.
[53] Look, we talked about him so much.
[54] His podcast, I told you we'd lose him.
[55] We talked about his podcast.
[56] We got to talk about his dumbass die.
[57] We got to talk about his tal and feet.
[58] We got to talk about things he cares about.
[59] We got to talk about me maximum.
[60] And then the moment that he started thinking about drinking pickle brine, which is appalling.
[61] Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Lebitard Show, is the thought of drinking pickle brine like it's water appalling to you.
[62] My dad also drank clam juice like it was going out of style.
[63] I just found, Greg, I just found online.
[64] You can buy classic kosher dill juice.
[65] One package is 19 .5 ounces.
[66] A three pack costs $46.
[67] It's pricey.
[68] You get what you pay for.
[69] It's good stuff.
[70] Makes me want to go home and drink from a pickle jar, to be honest.
[71] Really?
[72] We can make that happen before you leave today.
[73] That'll be a punishment.
[74] I'm going to videotape myself.
[75] By the way, this picture of me holding a yellow dye, it looks to me like I'm about to swallow it.
[76] It looks edible.
[77] It's the color of a cheese -it.
[78] And to Roy's point, I never should have used it.
[79] I disrespected the die.
[80] Wow, that's the first time I've ever heard you utter regret on our show.
[81] Yeah.
[82] I should not have used that.
[83] I could have picked any dye, although I don't think I have another dye in the house.
[84] Odd topic to show regrets, I mean.
[85] But why need to buy another dye?
[86] You have one good die.
[87] Why buy another one?
[88] Waste of money.
[89] It's a hall of favor.
[90] Use that money by some pickles.
[91] You could have gone to the dollar tree and got some dice.
[92] Is that right?
[93] Yeah.
[94] I don't know where to buy a dice.
[95] Dollar tree.
[96] Where do you buy dice?
[97] On the internet.
[98] Well, internet.
[99] Now, it's a good question.
[100] I mean, if you're in your car driving around, then you need dice, where do you go?
[101] Right.
[102] It's a fair question.
[103] It is.
[104] No, I mean, the dollar store, I'm sure, has dice.
[105] I don't know.
[106] That's one of those things that you're like, what is my solution?
[107] I need dice.
[108] I need them fast.
[109] Do I go to a toy store?
[110] Yeah, but what do you do?
[111] Do you go to, like, buy Yotsie and take the dice out of the Yatsy?
[112] game what do you do?
[113] They definitely sell them at the store like with the playing cards I'd have to get...
[114] Isolated dice?
[115] Like a six -back?
[116] Greg.
[117] Was the game whoever throws at the farthest wins or do you have to roll the highest with your feet?
[118] No You launch...
[119] It's a totally different sport.
[120] You launch the die with your foot and you can, you know, there's a strategy.
[121] You can hit it like a two iron and go for the roll.
[122] But it doesn't matter what you roll.
[123] Maybe it should be weighted like what you roll versus distance.
[124] No, it has nothing to do with landing on one or six.
[125] Then why does it have to be a dice?
[126] It doesn't.
[127] I wanted something that was the size that would challenge the dexterity of the toe.
[128] I'm known for toe dexterity.
[129] Not everyone is.
[130] But, you know, the roll counts.
[131] If it goes off the road into the grass, it's going to stop right away.
[132] So the key is to keep it straight.
[133] And I will tell you that the winning distance was...
[134] Don't give it away.
[135] The Greg Cody Show featuring...
[136] Greg Cody, where you can find all of your results.
[137] Right.
[138] I'm not going to say who won.
[139] I will say the winning distance was 29 yards.
[140] Wow.
[141] Or 87 feet.
[142] So much higher than Mongo jumped.
[143] You could use a rock.
[144] A rock?
[145] No, you can't.
[146] Well, if it's the right size, you know, it has to be, we want it big enough where the token, small enough where the token pick it up, big enough, you know, you don't want to have it too big or too small.
[147] You can't pick up a, no matter how much toe dexterity you have, you can't pick up a kernel of popcorn.
[148] You know, you can't pick up a little corn kernel.
[149] Likewise, you can't, a golf ball would be very challenging.
[150] I think I could pick up a golf ball with my toe, but, you know, I have more toe dexterity than most people.
[151] Greg, I have great news for you.
[152] I'm on the Dollar Tree website, and you can buy, die at the Dollar Tree.
[153] You can buy a 10 -pack for $1 .25.
[154] There's also, and this might interest you for next year's Cody, Olympics.
[155] There's also a set of do -it -yourself would die.
[156] So these are not numbered.
[157] They just are three different dye.
[158] They're squared with the rounded edges.
[159] And maybe you want to toss that in there.
[160] You could throw a Greg Cody Show logo on.
[161] You could do something not necessarily numerical.
[162] That's a great idea, Billy.
[163] I'm going to make a mental note of that.
[164] All right.
[165] You're taking a lot of notes.
[166] I'm not going to write that one down.
[167] You're a laptop in front of you.
[168] You are writing a great deal down and...
[169] But what's rare is the tiny dye?
[170] Okay.
[171] When everybody thinks of dice, they think the size everyone's imagining.
[172] Yeah, standard size.
[173] Yeah.
[174] The tiny dye is the key.
[175] I bet you can't buy tiny dice online.
[176] Hmm.
[177] I bet you can.
[178] The question that I wanted to ask based on what you guys are saying is degree of difficulty on modernizing your shopping habits when you're as old as Greg Cody.
[179] Some of you in this room are declaring that it is hard to leave your home and know where to go if you needed to immediately get dye.
[180] Jessica said you just find it in the playing card section.
[181] What else is in this section?
[182] What other toys are things that are that you need to get someplace?
[183] Where do you go to get it?
[184] Because when Roy says dollar store, you're going to get it.
[185] But you better not hope for anything good because nothing costs a dollar anymore.
[186] That's a good point.
[187] You better not hope that you want dye that will last.
[188] for two or three weeks.
[189] They have some good stuff in there.
[190] I've got to tell you.
[191] They do.
[192] That agreed.
[193] I've been there recently to get some tattoos for a Prince Fielder nude shoot that I owe you guys.
[194] I went in there to get an assortment of a dollar tree had the Prince Fielder tattoos?
[195] Yes, they did.
[196] What?
[197] Yes, they did.
[198] They had what I needed.
[199] No way.
[200] That's right.
[201] You walked into a dollar store?
[202] I did walk into a dollar store.
[203] Did you bring Frankie?
[204] Yeah, I had security with me. That's right.
[205] I pulled up in a limo.
[206] I was wearing a top hat.
[207] Oh, yeah.
[208] I looked at them with my monocle.
[209] Did you buy the store?
[210] I asked them how much for everything.
[211] I did.
[212] Surely this store can't cost a dollar.
[213] This is a bit of a stunner.
[214] I am guessing that I have been in a dollar store more recently than any of you.
[215] Does five below count?
[216] Don't get me started on that.
[217] I mean, I now want to get you started on it.
[218] There's not an object in there below $5 anymore.
[219] They have a whole VIP section with a velvet robe back there.
[220] That's 10 below.
[221] That's not the spirit of this store, friends.
[222] Five below.
[223] You can't find anything for $1 or $2.
[224] Everything's $5 now.
[225] The below is absent and $5 below.
[226] Don't get me started.
[227] I mean, that's kind of where we are with everything.
[228] Potential client, don't get me started.
[229] In America.
[230] What is less than a dollar?
[231] You can't get anything good for less than a dollar anymore.
[232] Can you buy a pack of gum for less than a dollar?
[233] Limes?
[234] One single lime.
[235] No. One single lemon.
[236] Can you get a single line?
[237] Maybe a potato.
[238] What can you get for less than a dollar?
[239] Food, yeah.
[240] I get that.
[241] Like the other day I'm in Publix.
[242] I'm buying fresh ginger.
[243] Who uses ginger, right?
[244] And if you do use it, you're shaving off a little bit.
[245] So basically, I buy the smaller, I snapped it in half.
[246] I buy a knuckle of ginger that was smaller than a golf ball.
[247] It ends up costing like, you know, 19 cents or something.
[248] something because it's like x a pound and in when you buy a small piece like bang technically you can buy one grape uh in a in a store but who would do that you know just chuck it in your mouth and eat it and move on i saw somebody doing that the other day right i saw a woman stealing right in front of me stealing from the store and this is where i feel like uh you know ratting her out to the manager or something because on principle that i hate that when people eat you know she's eating grapes right out of the bag she just bought, and they weigh it.
[249] You pay by the weight.
[250] So she's stealing money with every grape, and she's munching it, just walking down carefree.
[251] You are so wrong.
[252] Why are you snapping ginger and a half?
[253] In the store?
[254] You did it in the store?
[255] Yeah, of course.
[256] Wow.
[257] You take as much ginger as you need.
[258] No, but you're not supposed to snap the ginger, and then your dirty hands that have been throwing dice with your feet.
[259] I didn't snap it with my feet.
[260] What are you doing, snap?
[261] You've got your dirty hands on somebody else's ginger.
[262] Somebody else's...
[263] You know, first of all, okay, I'm touching the outside of the ginger.
[264] You don't eat the outside of the ginger.
[265] You cut the outside off and then grate the...
[266] I've never heard of somebody snapping ginger in half because they don't want to pay the 49 cents for them.
[267] It's common.
[268] Who do we know that works in produce at a supermarket?
[269] Call them, ask them.
[270] You think it's common?
[271] Put it on the poll, please, Jim.
[272] at Lebuttog Show, is it common to snap your ginger in half at the grocery store?
[273] Yes.
[274] Can we get someone in a produce department?
[275] I'm begging you.
[276] Can we just for anybody?
[277] A guest?
[278] Yes.
[279] Just ask etiquette questions?
[280] It's perfectly normal because, like I say, I'm not touching what you do.
[281] This is a new and an improved down Levitar show with the Stugats.
[282] Gamble on by Drafkins.
[283] Stugats here for my friends over at Simply Safe.
[284] If you're like me, you're constantly thinking.
[285] about the safety of the people and things you value most.
[286] After a friend told me about a break -in in his home in which many of his most valuable possessions were stolen, I knew I needed to secure my home with the best.
[287] I've trusted Simply Safe to protect my home for six years now.
[288] And the level of security and customer care has been incredible.

[297] Don Lebertard.
[298] It's been a lovely cruise.
[299] Oh, man. That's my outro.
[300] That's, you know, as my casket is being lowered.
[301] Jesus.
[302] You know, I'll have been cremated a week before, but we'll do the casket thing just for show.
[303] And as my casket is being lowered.
[304] Empty casket?
[305] Yeah, it'll be empty, you know, just for show.
[306] Well, what's the redundancy there?
[307] You know, I mean, we're going to put on a public display.
[308] Yeah, naturally.
[309] Stugats.
[310] What do you do with the ashes?
[311] You're going on a lovely cruise.
[312] Exactly.
[313] Maybe we'll throw them over.
[314] My wife will throw them overboard.
[315] I would assume.
[316] This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats.
[317] A giddy Stugats just walked into the room saying I got a top five list for you on athletes who canote dice.
[318] Greg Cody has, if you're just joining us, ruined a family heirloom in order to get you to support the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody his wildly popular podcast.
[319] With with, with, with, with, with, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine.
[320] Well, you guys missed two of them before.
[321] We should be up to $20 in fines if I was willing to respect you, but I will always call it the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody, and it is the only place that I will not budge.
[322] Huh?
[323] Why is that?
[324] Weird.
[325] disrespectful I will not pay any more of the fines that come with this misrepresentation of you insisting that I promote your podcast and then you immediately check out on the remainder of the show as soon as that has been done you only use this show as a vehicle to promote your things you have a book coming out now you are finally doing back in my days but you're doing fresh back in my days that we're not even getting here Mango publishing is getting them here that book is now available for pre -order that book is finished.
[326] So now Greg Cody, what's happened around here, you may have noticed.
[327] This is a very big show.
[328] It has had a lot of success nationally and internationally and is growing because we've got some big announcements coming later this month.
[329] And what has happened around here is that Mango Publishing, a local publisher, has realized there is a in books, a publishing oil well around this show that everyone has noticed.
[330] So Ron McGill has written a book and Greg Cody has written two books while I fought and wrestled with Stugats's editor this weekend because Stugats' book that we're telling him is worth a lot of money and is a good idea.
[331] He has not done enough work on and he has not been prepared enough in the selling of this book.
[332] Greg Cody has somehow Stugats.
[333] He's going to have two books out before you have your book out that's being written for you.
[334] This is not a competition with me and Greg Cody.
[335] We are friends.
[336] We root for each other.
[337] Greg wrote a chapter in my book.
[338] I am not rooting against Greg Cody.
[339] I only want good things for the Cody family.
[340] And likewise.
[341] Yes.
[342] But Greg Cody, who is being paid by this show to do back in my day, is only doing them as his side hustle as part of a project.
[343] He's done three fresh back in my days for his book so that you buy it.
[344] How do people buy it?
[345] Pre -order?
[346] They go to their local dice store, the dollar store?
[347] Yeah, you can just, you know, Google Amazon, Greg Cody books.
[348] It comes right up.
[349] It's doing very well based on pre -sales.
[350] It's Amazon's number one ranked new release in a category called History, Humor.
[351] Wow.
[352] My philosophy is that Amazon has so many minuscule categories that it allows them to promote a book as being number one new release in history and humor.
[353] It's also top 10 in humor essays.
[354] So I think it's going to be pretty well received.
[355] It's a handsome -looking book.
[356] I'm seeing it here you can also pre -ordered a Target.
[357] It says it comes out September 24th.
[358] Is that so?
[359] Yes.
[360] Wow.
[361] Look at you.
[362] Two books in the time, Stugatz.
[363] Is your book going to come out, Stugats?
[364] Yeah, it's coming out late November.
[365] I mean, I wrote a book.
[366] Have you?
[367] I did.
[368] Marlon's top of the first in 1993.
[369] Dan, you're on the cover of this book.
[370] Were you aware of that?
[371] Of which book?
[372] Of back in my day.
[373] Whitty's satire debunking the hype of new and improved by Greg Cody.
[374] Here you are, right at the top.
[375] You have a big quote on it.
[376] He's on the cover of my book as well.
[377] I mean, forward by Dan Lebitard.
[378] Did you write this quote or did Greg just attribute a quote to you?
[379] No, Dan was kind enough to write the foreword.
[380] Very long forward.
[381] About a third of the book is Dan's forward, but we appreciated every word of it.
[382] Can you possibly tell us the topics of the new back in my days?
[383] Not necessarily tell us, but maybe you kind of wet our whistle with what it is that you've written these about?
[384] I can't remember what they are, to be honest with it.
[385] I think that I should reward the audience.
[386] There should be some sort of prize where we bribe.
[387] Greg Cody, based on how high they get him on one of these lists with, he has to read one of the fresh ones from his book if our listeners buy a certain number of books from him.
[388] I think one of the three new ones is space travel, if I remember correctly.
[389] That's one of those things that's gotten worse, right?
[390] What, space travel?
[391] Yeah.
[392] Well, you have to buy the book to find out.
[393] That a boy.
[394] That is so distinctly male what Greg Cody just did.
[395] He was palpably moved by my forward in a way that he expressed him.
[396] he's a bit repressed with how it is he expresses his emotion he was choked up in expressing to me how he felt about the forward and all he does is describe it as publicly long right it was very i said it was generous you were very generous in what you wrote uh about me and about the the book mostly about me which is what i really liked about it but it was long a bit wordy huh crimony yeah same with mine yeah i was it choked up i wanted to choke dan I don't think you read it.
[397] I've got no proof that you acted.
[398] I don't think you read it.
[399] Billy, that's what actually, I'm pretty sure that's what happened.
[400] We'll get back to that in a second.
[401] Pablo Torre joins us.
[402] I love you.
[403] And Pablo Torre is, I'm telling you, this podcast is unlike anything in the market.
[404] It's got a lot of good word of mouth because he is pouring himself unreasonably into every episode that goes out.
[405] It is a rare space in this space where it's not just people talk.
[406] but it's clearly got a lot of effort and work behind it.
[407] Pablo Tori finds out has gotten a lot of good reviews everywhere, so I wanted to bring Pablo in to talk about some of the news of the day.
[408] So Tim Walz is now Kamala's vice presidential candidate.
[409] Your thoughts there?
[410] Is that who you were rooting for?
[411] Were you rooting for the astronaut?
[412] I was rooting for whoever was going to win the election, but this is the most fun guy to root for.
[413] And so the choice was Josh Shapiro, governor, Pennsylvania, the electoral map, Nate Silver, they're all saying, go with that guy, you just want to win the big blue states.
[414] And so I was like, okay, Josh Shapiro, cool.
[415] But Tim Waltz, and if you have been falling asleep, sort of like paying attention to the VP race, he's the guy who has kicked off all of the new messaging, which I find to be profoundly effective, about how the other side of this entire political argument now is just full of freaks.
[416] and so he uses the term weird they're weird and so Tim Walt is the guy who is most telling America you get to make a choice here it could be Donald Trump and J .D. Vance and this suicide squad style band of weirdos who are trying to do all sorts of things which you don't need to even belabor right now or you can pick the dude who is the governor of Minnesota Tim Walts who is a high school football coach who looks like the guy you run into at the grocery store and so it's just this remarkable leaning into, hey, this is what America kind of could still be, a normal average dad who may or may not be, you know, grilling on the weekends, potentially barefoot, like Greg Cody.
[417] Who uses those feet to roll dice on the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody and what he describes as the greatest of the family Olympic events.
[418] Towing, yes, towing, excuse me. To Pablo's point, I did see Tim Waltz in a great.
[419] grocery store and he was breaking apart ginger.
[420] So if the vice president of the United States can do that, that seals.
[421] How do you feel, Pablo, when I tell you that Greg Cody walks into a store and instead of just taking a piece of ginger there that would cost 69 cents, he breaks it in half so that he can have his 19 cent version.
[422] I have Greg as a guy who gets his hands on all sorts of produce because there are deals to be found there.
[423] Greg, am I right?
[424] That you are you are handsy.
[425] You are almost, I wouldn't say cancelably hansy with the produce, but I think you get the drift.
[426] The drift of what I'm trying to say here.
[427] And the best example of that is when the lemons are not sold by the pound, but it says two for a dollar, for example.
[428] You've got to find the lemon that's almost the size of your fish.
[429] You want to get your money's worth.
[430] Fisting lemons.
[431] How are you doing avocados?
[432] How are you doing those?
[433] I used to have an avocado tree in a drop, So many avocados, I had to uproot it.
[434] But so avocados, I don't buy much of.
[435] Other than guacamole, I have no use for avocados.
[436] But I'm not handsy.
[437] No, I respect produce.
[438] I look with my eyes.
[439] You know, I'm scouting out the big lemon.
[440] Generally speaking, once I pick up a lemon, I buy it.
[441] Now, if I pick up, turn it around, and it's got a defect on the other side, I gently put it back.
[442] What am I going to do?
[443] but no the ginger as i was explaining to dan he didn't know he thought you popped a piece of ginger in your mouth like it was popcorn you don't eat the outside of ginger i don't i said i said that's not what i said i used ginger and i'm offended as was roy by what you did with that ginger but now we've moved on to other subject matter so you got rid of and killed your avocado tree for overproducing for you Yeah.
[444] Well, what happened, you know, avocado trees are seasonal, and when it was bearing fruit, it would drop so many that squirrels love avocado.
[445] So it drops on the ground.
[446] Everyone knows that.
[447] Yeah.
[448] And I couldn't pick it up fast enough.
[449] Like, I just want to take, you know, how much does it take to make guacamole?
[450] I want to take three or four avocados in my house, let them ripen, make my avocado.
[451] Nobody makes avocado like me. It's really, really good, and I don't often brag about stuff like that.
[452] But the squirrels are mauling my avocados, and once you can't use an avocado, it rots in the ground, you know, it becomes, you can't mow over it because the pit is big and hard.
[453] So it just became a real nightmare.
[454] Yeah, became a nightmare.
[455] Greg Cody, you are 0 and 2 in cooking competitions around here.
[456] You say no one can make a guacamole like you.
[457] Does anyone want to challenge him?
[458] Valerie makes, I'm sure, a better guacamole than you.
[459] Does anyone here else make guacamole, or is Greg Cody going to stand untested here?
[460] I would take that challenge.
[461] When he says, I make a better art. You're o' and two in your cooking challenges.
[462] I know Roy beat me in Turkey and a well -earned victory by Roy.
[463] His citrus turkey was fantastic.
[464] What was the other competition?
[465] You lost to me in popcorn.
[466] Oh, yeah, and that was a little bit of a dicey verdict.
[467] You lost unanimously.
[468] No one voted for you.
[469] I mean, you know, he...
[470] No one voted for you.
[471] You're the Jordan Childs of, you know, one minute you're in fifth place, the next minute, somehow you're winning a ribbon.
[472] I thought my popcorn was better.
[473] Okay, so you're going to just overturn the vote that was unanimous?
[474] What are you?
[475] Trump?
[476] Well, your popcorn, if I'm being honest, it was so over -seasoned with Tijin that it was almost...
[477] It was almost unedible.
[478] I've never heard Tazin uttered like a slur before.
[479] card j almost inedible again beat you four oh uh you know the judges were on the take you know you're the guy going in a dollar store to save money so that you can like flash a little money to the judges over here we don't wait i i have a question for gregg because i'm imagining um how tim walt is going to instruct america but how he is the most normal man in politics but greg cody's guide to grocery store etiquette what else is that on the list of stuff that Greg does, that a veteran dad, who's been around the block a couple times, always does if he knows what he's doing.
[480] Wow.
[481] I like the idea that you had Tim Walts grilling in bare feet, because I do that.
[482] I challenge myself to be safe in areas that don't seem safe.
[483] You know, when I'm lighting propane tank, for example, I have no problem using bare feet for that.
[484] You know, and the idea that the vice president also grills in bare feet makes me like the guy.
[485] Well, I don't know if, was that literal or were you just saying, were you just being metaphorical there, Pablo?
[486] Is that a literal thing?
[487] Does he grill in bare feet?
[488] Do you know this?
[489] I believe that I was being reckless and speculating that potential vice president Tim Walts has prehensile toes that he is using to grill and operate on the poll, please, at Lebitard show.
[490] Do you grill in bare feet?
[491] Because I don't think that's uniquely or distinctly American, I think it's dumb and dangerous and dirty.
[492] When you said Nate Silver earlier, are we trusting this information?
[493] Because I have found hard to trust anything that resembles polling information.
[494] And Nate Silver was simply the authority in these matters, and then he wasn't.
[495] Yeah, I don't have anybody better than him.
[496] Of course, all of this is a complicated thing when you have to say, probability is what we're going for here.
[497] So Nate Silver has been wrong, but the probabilities in which he estimated his wrongness to be were actually more impressive than other people who were wrong.
[498] And so this is like the last thing Stugats wants to hear is people making excuses about how I'm wrong, but my math says that I'm more right than you.
[499] So I understand why he's a deeply unsympathetic character.
[500] I get all of that, but I believe Dan, I just don't know what else to turn to other than the math of polling and Nate Silver is the best at it.
[501] So, yeah, I go by him.
[502] What kind of offense did he run in high school?
[503] I mean, those are the questions we should be asking.
[504] Tells a lot about it, man. This is an episode for Pablo Tori finds out.
[505] I am not kidding.
[506] This has already been assigned this morning.
[507] Wow.

[523] Don Lebatard.
[524] Is there back in my day?
[525] There is, actually.
[526] Are you not going to tell anyone?
[527] Wait a minute.
[528] You guys.
[529] It's a Tuesday.
[530] It's a Tuesday.
[531] Stugats.
[532] Here's your guide.
[533] Greg Cody.
[534] With Back in my.
[535] day.
[536] Okay, here it is.
[537] Sorry.
[538] Adultery.
[539] We are back.
[540] We're waiting for this one.
[541] This is the Don Lebatar show with these two gods.
[542] I like that we're doing the whole like, hey, those guys are weird thing.
[543] But also, from what I've read, Tim Wals has had a really good track record in Minnesota for things like a child credit and he's free lunches, things like that.
[544] He's a former teacher, so he has a lot of, like, family -geared policy.
[545] So is that also something that you think adds a boost to the Harris campaign that they're able to attach themselves to some of these policies?
[546] I think so.
[547] I mean, thank you, Jess, for reminding us that there's substance here somewhere.
[548] Yes.
[549] I just think when it comes to how he's going to debate J .D. Vance, I don't think they're going to lean on that so much as they're going to lean on, hey.
[550] look at me, look at him, look at me again, which one of us, which one of us potentially not wearing eyeliner and also having a history of flip -flopping and calling my preferred presidential nominee Adolf Hitler, which one of us do you trust?
[551] I think they're going to simplify it so far down to the lowest com denominator in ways that make me hopeful because I've tried substance before, Jess, and it doesn't really work so well.
[552] I think they're just going to go for the casting call, and I kind of get it.
[553] Pablo Tori finds out Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
[554] You've now mentioned Hitler a couple of times in your last few appearances.
[555] I have.
[556] You are obsessed these days.
[557] Okay.
[558] Wouldn't say that, although today's episode does involve Hitler.
[559] And here's a spoiler alert.
[560] It also involved.
[561] This is not the only tree -based conversation you'll hear on the Dan Levit Hart and Friends Network today.
[562] Greg Cody's avocado trees.
[563] the trees that Adolf Hitler gave to gold medalists in the 1936 Berlin Games, the Nazi Olympics, led us to a story about Jesse Owens, taking those trees home and planting them, unlike Greg Cody, he saved those trees.
[564] And it's a story about why and how and what it says about America.
[565] And that is a tease that I believe successfully threads the needle of trying to sell you about listening to more Adolf Hitler.
[566] I think that that tease make sure that no one here will listen to that.
[567] I'm pretty sure.
[568] I'm pretty sure you lost.
[569] You're anti -trees.
[570] I'm pretty sure you lost everyone in this room with all of that.
[571] You think you nailed the dismount and, oh, Jessica is saying she'll listen.
[572] Thank you, Jess.
[573] Substance.
[574] Although, Dan, you should be careful when you say someone is obsessed with Adolf Hitler.
[575] Yeah.
[576] Especially someone that you employ.
[577] Yeah, that's...
[578] You know what you're doing, right?
[579] Well, I thought I knew what I was doing.
[580] I was hoping that it...
[581] Journalistic.
[582] obsessed.
[583] Journalistically obsessed because I'm a journalist.
[584] Hard J. Big J. That is correct.
[585] That is correct.
[586] Before you get out of here, I've got some updates for you from some of the reporting that our experts have been doing on the Olympics.
[587] Billy has been covering trampoline.
[588] Greg Cody has been covering equestrian.
[589] So go ahead and Greg, give us whatever you've got here on equestrian.
[590] We've given out assignments to everyone.
[591] I've got breakdancing.
[592] I think I think that Roy, what did you have?
[593] Boxing and field hockey.
[594] Do you have any reports?
[595] Any updates?
[596] Not yet.
[597] I won't have it on Friday.
[598] Okay.
[599] Jessica, what do you have?
[600] Did you wrestle beach volleyball?
[601] Beach volleyball.
[602] I believe I wrestled it away from Chris.
[603] Unfortunately, one of our women's beach volleyball teams lost yesterday, but there is more today.
[604] Greg Cody, you are our equestrian correspondent.
[605] What do you have for us?
[606] I don't love equestrian just because I own a race horse, okay?
[607] I love equestrian because it's a sport.
[608] of old people.
[609] The competitors are older on average than any other sport at the Paris Olympics.
[610] The average age of the U .S. equestrian team, 44 and a half.
[611] Even the horses are old.
[612] We think of horses as three or four -year -olds that we actually see in big races.
[613] These equestrian horses tend to be 14, 15, 16 years old.
[614] Equestrian in France wrapped up just this morning in Versailles with Germany taking four of six gold medals in Great Britain, the other two.
[615] U .S. writer Laura Kraut aboard her hearse, Ballantinue, had a chance this morning to win the first gold medal in Team USA Equestrian since 2008, but fell short in the individual jumping final.
[616] However, Crout from Palm Beach, along with teammates Carl Cook and McLean Ward, took silver earlier in Paris in team jumping.
[617] Crout, at age 58, became the oldest U .S. US Olympic medalist in 72 years.
[618] The previous oldest was Everard Duckie Ent, who was 59 in Helsinki in 1952 when he won gold in the 100 meter dash.
[619] I'm just kidding.
[620] It was in sailing.
[621] Not reporting from Paris.
[622] I'm Greg Cody.
[623] All right.
[624] It felt a bit book reporty, but I hope that Billy, well, I mean, he's written something.
[625] I learned a lot.
[626] He's written something that's not for his book.
[627] He wrote something fresh for us.
[628] Thank you.
[629] Billy, do you have a trampoline update for us?
[630] Women's trampoline?
[631] Yes.
[632] I thought I had visuals prepared, but we can go here.
[633] We don't need to get to the visuals.
[634] So Dan, Olympic trampolining commenced and ended the other day.
[635] It is one of the most vicious Olympic sports because just like that, four years of training can go away.
[636] Hold on a second.
[637] I'm sorry.
[638] I think Patty Mills just did something.
[639] Yeah, Serbia battled all the way back from down 20 to go up two with nine and a half seconds left.
[640] They go to Patty Mill.
[641] to tie this ball game.
[642] Patty Mills rattles it in.
[643] It's a tie ball game 1 .4 seconds left.
[644] A desperate heave from Serbia goes wide.
[645] We are headed to overtime.
[646] We allowed to do Olympics play -by -play like that.
[647] That was after the fact.
[648] This actually happened four minutes earlier.
[649] Already an O -T.
[650] Yeah.
[651] You're not allowed to do that.
[652] Anyways, Olympic trampoline.
[653] The event takes place in one day, Dan, and the field starts at 16 and then is trimmed down to 8 all in one day.
[654] So you have the 16 compete.
[655] Then you get the 8.
[656] Now, how do they trim them down?
[657] Great question.
[658] This is the way that it goes.
[659] Each athlete has two potential opportunities if they don't like their score on the first one.
[660] I think they can improve the second one.
[661] And then they take the best of the two scores as their final score.
[662] So in Olympic trampolining, you have 10 jumps.
[663] So you jump and then you have 10 different tricks that you can do.
[664] You're then judged based on those tricks.
[665] Okay.
[666] Now, how did qualifying go?
[667] Great question.
[668] This is how qualifying finish.
[669] We're not going to do all a qualifying because 16 people are too many.
[670] So I'm just going to give you who advanced from qualifications.
[671] Yes, well, you're much more prepared than Greg Cody was for this.
[672] Greg got a lot of stuff.
[673] He had a lot of info.
[674] Yeah, but you're...
[675] Not a competition, man. Everhard, Ducky, Kent.
[676] Was that a name Greg said at one point?
[677] Yeah, Ent.
[678] E -N -D -T.
[679] E -N -D -T.
[680] Ducky N -D -T.
[681] Sounds fake.
[682] Oh, not to him, I wouldn't.
[683] I'm, uh, I'm, uh, I was remiss in not pointing out to you, Pablo.
[684] I wanted to throw to you the idea that Greg Cody and Stugats think they should be able to decide who's American.
[685] in the Olympics.
[686] That was Greg Cody who said that.
[687] I was just explaining what it is he said.
[688] That's a misrepresentation, falsehoods.
[689] Greg thinks everyone should compete for America.
[690] Well, his takes on Tajin now all out up.
[691] Billy proceed.
[692] Yeah, sorry, Billy.
[693] All right, so on qualifying.
[694] First place went to Violetta Bardsalowskaya.
[695] And she is one of the 35 athletes that is competing from Belarus and from Russia who are not allowed to compete under their own country.
[696] So she is competing under A -I -N, and she finished first place in qualifying with the score of 56 .340.
[697] It looks fun.
[698] Trampoline looks fun and dangerous and amazing.
[699] Speaking of popcorn, yeah.
[700] I'm just going to tell you how they did in the final round, because if I go through all the names and the qualifying and I give you the scores, you're going to get tired of this.
[701] Why would you do that?
[702] Well, because I need you guys.
[703] I'm trying to paint a picture here.
[704] Did you know there's two trampolines, and they can choose which apparatus to jump on?
[705] So they have their warm -ups, and they can choose which of the two trampolines they want to compete on.
[706] Now, from my observation, it seemed like they all competed on the exact same trampoline, so I don't know why they needed a second trampoline.
[707] Like a baseball glove, they want it worn in.
[708] They want the worn in trampoline.
[709] I suppose.
[710] I was wondering maybe if the springs are tighter on one trampoline than the other.
[711] You get more balanced, but I think it's just a preference thing.
[712] Probably I should have the answers for you since, yeah, I'm the one reporting on it.
[713] I think that would be good information to have.
[714] Anyway, so in second place in qualifying, with a score of 56 .20, we had you, Yicheng.
[715] The Chi got a score of 56 .270.
[716] On third place, we had Zhu Zhu Zhuing from China with a score of 55 .950.
[717] And fourth place, again competing for AIN, we had Anzella Bladlechva, with a score of 55 .640.
[718] Then in fifth place, we had what appeared to be the sentimental favorite.
[719] Brony Page, or Brownie Page, from Great Britain, with a score of 54 .970.
[720] Zero.
[721] Now, as you all know, as fans of trampolining, Brownie Page previously has a bronze and a silver medal, but she does not have the gold medal yet.
[722] So we're trying to see if she can get the old triple crown in medals, as they call it in trampolining.
[723] In sixth place, we had Mori Hikaru from Japan with a score 54 .740.
[724] I don't know.
[725] Well, I'm just giving you a recap of the qualifying version.
[726] Yeah, this is a short.
[727] I don't want to give you the 16.
[728] Pablo, there go.
[729] There you go.
[730] There you go.
[731] Look, look right there.
[732] You have, you have, excuse me, may be interested in this.
[733] Pablo wants to find out who won trampolini.
[734] Triple crown.
[735] Pablo, thank you for being on with us.
[736] We appreciate it.
[737] Belarus, huh?
[738] I really regret.
[739] In seventh place, Maddie Davidson from New Zealand.
[740] Now, remember, Pablo, if you're still here, remember, their scores in qualifying.
[741] Can you just fade yourself out?
[742] Do me a favor.
[743] Their scores in qualifying, don't carry over to the final.
[744] Fade yourself out.
[745] So they just make it into the Tampa.
[746] As you keep talking, just fade yourself.
[747] Do your job.
[748] We had Sophie Ann Mechon from Canada.
