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.

[12] This is the Dan Levatore show with the Stugats podcast.
[13] Our friend Ron McGill is here.
[14] Again, I suggest to you, if you want to give to his charity, I promise you, that it goes straight to helping the animals and your money will be used maximum efficiently by somebody who knows all of the people who care about animals the right way, his substantive endowment.
[15] You could just check it out on Google if you want to help Ron McGill out, help the animals.
[16] Greg Cody, the last time he was here, Ron, he did not do this in front of you because he's not brave that way, but he was questioning your story from Africa and how close you were to actually dying.
[17] He doesn't believe that that was a thing that was as real as it seemed.
[18] I don't want to speak for him, but if you want to confront him to his face, here he is right now, Greg Cody.
[19] I wouldn't call it a confrontation, but it's true that until I, until I, you heard this with my own ears, it was hard, it was a buffalo, right?
[20] Buffalo, okay, Buffalo, and I heard about it rampaging through a tent or something like that.
[21] I did go through the tent.
[22] And I wonder, can you just tell the story again for myself and those who didn't hear it?
[23] Wait a minute, that's not a confrontation.
[24] I mean, he can tell the story again, but you were questioning the story.
[25] I found it hard to believe that Ron McGill, after a distinguished long career confronting wildlife that this was the most danger in the most danger he's ever felt.
[26] I want to hear that with my own ears.
[27] Well, it was close to the most danger.
[28] I think I told you about the time with the elephant in the Angkor Gora Gora Crater and the hippo on the Nile River, those are my top three.
[29] But the...
[30] So this is third.
[31] This is the bronze medal.
[32] No, no, this is the third.
[33] No reason to brag, I mean.
[34] This would be tied for first.
[35] I prefer it.
[36] You have to put them in order.
[37] Well done, Ron.
[38] Gold, silver bronze.
[39] Wait a minute.
[40] So now we've got to re -hear all three stories.
[41] And you have to pick a one, two, and three.
[42] Tell the elephant story again.
[43] I was doing a study on elephants in must, which is male elephants that are at the peak of their hormonal drive, where they're very unpredictable, very dangerous.
[44] You've seen these elephant attacks, so quote -unquote attacks where they go after trucks and things like that.
[45] That happened to me. I was down in the bottom of the Angkor Gora Crater.
[46] I was photographing an elephant in must from a safe distance.
[47] You know, we always turn the engine off when we're photographing, we don't want the vibration of the truck, not just to shake the camera to make a, you know, a fuzzy picture, but also not to disturb the animal.
[48] So we turned the truck off and I'm photographing this elephant, and then all of a sudden I realized he saw me, didn't really like me being there and started coming after me. I told the driver, okay, let's go.
[49] You know, we had a safe enough distance where you can get away.
[50] He went to start the engine and the battery was dead.
[51] So we couldn't go.
[52] I knew this elephant was coming.
[53] I continued to photograph him as he came at the truck.
[54] When he got to the truck, for those of you are familiar with these vehicles, they open the top.
[55] It's a Toyota Land Cruiser with an open top where I was standing on the seat, taking photographs through the top of the roof.
[56] I then went down on the bottom of the truck and held on to the bottom of the seats, anchored to the floor of the truck.
[57] The elephant came up to the truck, put his tusk under the truck, and started to try to tip it over.
[58] He was rocking it back and forth.
[59] It was rocking back and forth.
[60] off its wheels, but it didn't tip all the way over.
[61] He then stopped doing that.
[62] And as I'm still holding on and praying for my life at the bottom, I realized the whole big shadow came over me. This elephant was so large.
[63] He literally stood over the top of the land cruiser and looked down at me. I actually got a picture of him actually doing that.
[64] And then his trunk came over the top.
[65] And I'm just holding on with something.
[66] He's just going to grab me, pull me out of the truck and whip me around like a wet rag.
[67] And his trunk came and actually touched my top, my head and just kind of went, Oh, he booked you.
[68] Now, that's not an uh -uh.
[69] That's more like I'm really, you know, soiling my pants.
[70] And then all of a sudden, he stopped doing that.
[71] And I just, I'm just waiting.
[72] I'm just waiting.
[73] I'm thinking, what's he going to do?
[74] And then I felt the sunlight on my face again.
[75] I looked up and he was gone and he was just walking away.
[76] So I don't know what happened there.
[77] The difference between this and the buffalo is that the buffalo would not have stopped if he had gotten to me. or she, it was a female buffalo, actually.
[78] We were walking down at nighttime.
[79] It's, you know, 6 o 'clock in the morning.
[80] I'm going to each tent with our guy to wake everybody up to get ready to get on the game drive.
[81] It's dark.
[82] And, you know, there's very little light in the camp area, and it's an open camp.
[83] So animals are coming through all the time.
[84] Dan can testify.
[85] I was walking with Dan and his wife, Valerie, as we were heading back to it.
[86] And there's a big elephant, literally right there in the walkway.
[87] And we looked at it.
[88] Okay, Dan, let's just back off, back off.
[89] Everything was fine.
[90] The thing flared out its ears, put up the trunk, and basically telling us, that's enough.
[91] don't get any closer and um you know we backed off so dan can you know verify that these animals are in camp they are in camp um so we're looking for this buffalo oh we weren't looking for the buffalo or we're looking to make sure there aren't any buffalo and we missed this one a lot of times we depend on the eye shine we're using a flashlight because the eye shine will show up right away it comes out like a flashing light but this buffalo was asleep so her eyes were closed and we came around the corner she was sleep behind the bush and we started her she startled us she got up, snorted, and charged right at us.
[92] We were about 15, 20 feet away from the tent that we were going to wake up a guest of ours, and we used our flashlights.
[93] And Matt, who was the guide with me, actually used a flashlight better than I did because I was a little bit more tense than he was.
[94] But we used the flashlights, kind of like a Mattadour uses a cape to say, here, here, come this way, this way, this way, this with it.
[95] And he charged the flashlight.
[96] At the very last second, we dropped the flashlights, right in front of where the tent was, go to the side, And it charged the tent.
[97] It ripped through the tent.
[98] Its head, its horns went through the tent, knocked all the furniture off in there.
[99] One of our guests, the wife of one of our guests was in bed.
[100] She's screaming.
[101] I'm yelling to, please be quiet, quiet, quiet.
[102] And the other guest was actually sitting on the toilet at the time.
[103] So basically, he probably finished what he was doing very quickly.
[104] Holy crap.
[105] I'm not making any of this stuff up.
[106] Fortunately, the Buffalo decided to go to the right instead of the left.
[107] If it had gone to the left, we would have been totally exposed.
[108] And I'm pretty certain it would have severely injured, if not worse, to both of us.
[109] Holy shit.
[110] Tell us a third story, and then I will award the medals.
[111] And stop calling them tense.
[112] I mean, enough.
[113] I was doing, I was photographing a river hippos in the Nile River.
[114] And I wanted to get a different perspective of the hippos.
[115] So instead of shooting them from land out into the water, I went out into the water in a little motorized canoe.
[116] and was getting low down in the water to try to get that perspective of the land behind the hippo with the water.
[117] Hippos generally speaking give us a system of body language to tell you that they're not very happy with your presence.
[118] It starts with them kind of raising their body a little bit out of the water.
[119] The next one will be they kind of raise their head out of the water.
[120] The next one be they yawn really loudly.
[121] When I say loudly, they widely.
[122] They open their mouths very wide and they present those massive tusks.
[123] That's the last threat.
[124] And then they'll vocalize.
[125] So there's usually three or four steps before they actually will charge.
[126] Well, I was photographing this one hip -ball.
[127] I'm down looking through the, you know, the eye piece of my camera, and I'm photographing, and this hippo decided to skip steps one through three and just lunged at me like a killer whale out of the water.
[128] And this hippo was coming to get us.
[129] Fortunately, my guide had the motor on on the canoe and zoomed away, but that hippo was porpoising after us and got to as close to within about, I would say, 15, 20 feet.
[130] Now, you say 15, 20 feet is a long way.
[131] It's not a long way when you're in a little dugout canoe with a little engine on it, and a massive hitbow is coming out of the water after you.
[132] Fortunately, we got away.
[133] I was able to get one of my favorite photographs of all time.
[134] I'll send it to you guys for the next show so you can see it.
[135] It's the very moment that hippo lunged out of the water at me. I wish I could say I was as good a photographer that I said, oh, yeah, I'm going to get this picture.
[136] Boom, I took it.
[137] No. I didn't even realize it took it.
[138] What happened was that damn hippo scared the shit out of me, and when it lunged out of the water, I must have tensed up and pressed the shutter by accident, and the camera did all the work.
[139] So it was one of those things where it was a photograph by accident, but it's still one of my favorites.
[140] Oh, crap.
[141] The bronze medal goes to the elephant.
[142] You're crazy.
[143] The silver medal goes to the buffalo.
[144] The gold medal goes to the hippopotamus.
[145] Wow.
[146] No, I have to disagree with you.
[147] I was there.
[148] You put that...
[149] Ron, you're wrong.
[150] You're wrong.
[151] Forgive me, but Greg Cody loves when his ignorance is right.
[152] He was not there.
[153] He knows nothing.
[154] He's more right than you.
[155] That's his move.
[156] What are your rankings, Ron?
[157] My ranking is...
[158] I've got to go tie elephants and buffalo.
[159] No ties.
[160] No ties.
[161] Okay, no ties.
[162] Then I'm going to go...
[163] I'm going to go with the buffalo because the buffalo would have killed us.
[164] The elephant had the opportunity to do that.
[165] It did not.
[166] even though it scared the bejevers out of me. The elephant could have killed me. It chose not to.
[167] That Buffalo would not have chosen to ignore me had it gotten to me. It would have killed me. So the Buffalo is number one, elephant's number two.
[168] It was number three.
[169] Sounds like recency bias.
[170] You know, listen, in all fairness, Greg, I will tell you that on this trip, Dan did call me wrong McGill.
[171] Not Ron McGill, but wrong.
[172] Wow.
[173] How about Buffalo?
[174] They finally won something.
[175] Jessica, what do you have for wrong McGill?
[176] There's nothing wrong with it.
[177] bronze, first of all, just want to appropriately celebrate the bronze medal winner.
[178] Ron, I've been watching a lot of the Olympics and they're surfing in Tahiti.
[179] How great is the threat of a shark attack at a surfing event like this?
[180] I mean, it exists, Jessica, but it's not a great threat.
[181] It's the same threat of saying, you know, listen, you have a threat of getting hit by a car if you're crossing the street.
[182] You know, it depends what street you're on and where you're crossing.
[183] But the bottom line is sharks are there.
[184] So the threat, of course, exists.
[185] exist, but the bottom line is how many surfers have been surfing out there for how long and how many shark attacks have there been?
[186] So when you put those numbers in perspective, the likelihood is very, very little.
[187] Hey, wrong, I was a, I've recently seen those posters, right?
[188] Those missing animals posters where it's a bird, right?
[189] You've seen those and you just crack up.
[190] It's like, oh, you've got to find the bird.
[191] So I was at a partner's cousin's house the other day, and they have a couple of birds.
[192] And apparently one of them soon after it could fly away after, you know, the wings grew back.
[193] it flew away.
[194] And this person put out posters, and it just so happens that this bird was nearby a friend's house.
[195] That friend found a way to capture the bird, brought it back to the proper owners.
[196] And so my question is, is this bird pissed off that the one place it landed happened to be friends with its owner and is now back in a cage?
[197] No, on the contrary, you know, the bird, the fact that it was able to be caught will tell you that it is, in fact, habituated to human beings, that bird being a pet, depends on humans for food, it probably flew away thinking, oh, this is gonna be paradise and said, hey, wait a minute, where's all the food I'm used to getting for free given to me on a silver platter as if I'm in a catering place here?
[198] These animals that may have some kind of wild background still become dependent on the people who care for them.
[199] You know, when we had the hurricane here at the zoo, Hurricane Andrew, I'll never forget it.
[200] Our aviary was destroyed.
[201] All those birds flew away.
[202] And they all flew away.
[203] But you know what?
[204] Within a few days, they flew back.
[205] They flew back saying, hey, you know what?
[206] It's like, I remember as a little kid, I got really ticked off on my parents.
[207] I said, I'm running away.
[208] I ran away.
[209] That lasted about four hours.
[210] I got hungry.
[211] I said, you know what?
[212] It's a little easier at home.
[213] So I went back.
[214] And animals in a lot of ways do the same thing.
[215] You know, dogs sometimes will get out and they run away.
[216] And then all of a sudden they come back on their own because they start realizing, wait a minute.
[217] Home is where the heart is, brother.
[218] Did you pack up like a little blanket and put it on the end of a stick like they're doing the cartoon?
[219] No, I was young and stupid.
[220] I was just really pissed off.
[221] I said, I'm leaving.
[222] And my father said, great.
[223] And, you know, it just looked at me. and I'll never forget it because he actually was going to make it harder.
[224] He says, okay, but you've got to leave everything here that's not yours.
[225] I said, fine, I'm leaving.
[226] I said, no, no, no. My father said, stop.
[227] Take your clothes off.
[228] I bought your clothes.
[229] And then I said, I can't run away naked, so that would be dumb.
[230] Yeah, my dad was smart that way.
[231] Wrong.
[232] I read something recently that sounded so ludicrous.
[233] I need you to verify or refute the truth of it.
[234] I read that crows are able to say aloud numbers at the level a toddler might.
[235] one, two, three, four, et cetera.
[236] They can certainly say the numbers.
[237] It doesn't mean that they know what the numbers mean.
[238] It doesn't mean that you can say, okay, crow, say five, now point to the five coconuts.
[239] That's the difference.
[240] Crows can mimic sounds very well.
[241] And, you know, ravens, minor birds are kind of similar type of family.
[242] They're one of the best, you know, sound reproducers in the world.
[243] So crows can speak.
[244] Crows can, yes, they can emulate sound and say things like numbers.
[245] What kind of savage is the crow, Ron, because I will occasionally see bird parts on my balcony because I didn't realize that crows destroy other birds.
[246] They do.
[247] They raid nests.
[248] They eat eggs.
[249] They eat chicks.
[250] They are they're thugs.
[251] They're gangsters.
[252] But having said that, they're also probably the smartest bird in the world.
[253] Crows are generally believed to be the smartest of all birds.
[254] I just want you guys to know that Chris Googled counting crows and is not getting any answers, just getting a bunch of bandings.
[255] Mr. Jones.
[256] Wrong.
[257] We wanted to talk to you about cocaine sharks.
[258] Apparently, there were sharks that were caught off the coast of Brazil, and they tested positive for cocaine.
[259] Yeah, well, you know, the bottom line is I think we all know that sometimes these drugs get ditched in the water when people are going to get arrested or confiscated so that those drugs are being diluted in the water, and they're certainly being absorbed by these fish that live in that water.
[260] So it's not unheard of to think that, you know, I don't know how widespread it is.
[261] Yeah, I'm seeing all this great, it's going to go crazy on social media, I'm sure.
[262] But the bottom line is anything you throw in the water that can become diluted in the water can be absorbed by these animals.
[263] It's like, listen, you know, if you're not a smoker, but you live in a house with somebody who smokes all the time and has blown smoke in the house, you're going to have smoke in your lungs.
[264] That's the bottom line.
[265] Yeah.
[266] He is animal apologist wrong McGill, always able to defend the behavior.
[267] of cocaine using sharks.
[268] If I saw a brick of cocaine, I wouldn't stuff my face in it.
[269] I mean, no chance the sharks just like to party.
[270] Thank you, wrong.
[271] Appreciate your time.
[272] Good seeing you again, sir.
[273] Good guys.
[274] Have a good week, guys.
[275] Take care.

[288] Don Lebertard.
[289] Imagine if someone told you you couldn't have a Corvette.
[290] Stugats.
[291] I'm a grown -ass man who's not filthy rich.
[292] I can't afford a Lamborghini.
[293] Well, I probably can, but that's beside.
[294] Hey!
[295] This is the Dan LeBathex.
[296] This is the Dan LeBatar show with the Stugats.
[297] I believe that we have a profoundly lax environment around here that is much different than most businesses.
[298] And one of the reasons that I believe this, Stugats, is because I often say things 10 and a dozen times without anybody doing them.
[299] Like, it happens all the time.
[300] And yesterday I would say that I fired off as angry a text as I will ever fire off when I just asked an assortment of people, hey, do I need to fire somebody or are we going to get a gas bag of the week that I've been asking for for a dozen weeks now?
[301] Should I be firing Frankie or Robert?
[302] Who do you guys want me to fire?
[303] Frankie who works in security, Robert, who's IT, just to make – not Frankie.
[304] Just to make an example of who should we fire around here.
[305] Because it seems basically business 101, person on show asks for something as easy as gas bag of the week.
[306] Can he get it after asking for it 12 times?
[307] Well, if you notice, Dan, Lewis is not here today.
[308] So, sorry about that.
[309] Did you fire him?
[310] I mean.
[311] I did not fire Lewis.
[312] It better to be the security guy or an IT guy, somebody else, just to send a real warning to everybody.
[313] I really mean business about.
[314] I need a gas bag of the week.
[315] Yeah, you needed to soften that threat with all due respect.
[316] Do I have to fire somebody?
[317] No offense.
[318] No offense.
[319] You came out hot.
[320] Dan, I feel like you want your cake.
[321] What's this saying?
[322] You eat it too.
[323] You want to eat your cake and have it too?
[324] Because, like, there's a standard we have.
[325] Eat your cake and have it too.
[326] We have a standard around here.
[327] So I feel like the work has been being done, has been done.
[328] We have a standard around here.
[329] The work has been done to get you a gas bag.
[330] But sometimes I get a few nominees, and I'm like, guys, Dan's not going to like this one.
[331] So that's why, you know, like, and we're going to do one today.
[332] And hopefully it meets your standard.
[333] Chris, I find it hard to believe with all of the people being paid to give sports opinions that are bad all over the country, that we can't find a paragraph every week from all of the stupid things being said.
[334] It seems impossible for me to believe that with companies' worth of resources, many, many people work.
[335] for us.
[336] We can't just dive into the mainstream and find the occasional shitty gas bag salmon.
[337] Worst case scenario, just use my Michael Phelps blurb every week.
[338] I had 22 bad takes just last week alone.
[339] Well, I do think that Greg Cody had a great nominee for Gasbag of the week, not Michael Phelps, your take on the U .S. Olympic bronze medal winning team.
[340] That would be something that I would nominate.
[341] But do you have something better than that, Chris?
[342] We do.
[343] We have a clip of Matt Rule talking at some sort of Nebraska Media Day about the Big Ten and them having automatic playoff bids.
[344] This has imaging, though, correct?
[345] This has some imaging to it so that we could set it up.
[346] We'd listen to it and then we either say who is the gas bag.
[347] We don't know which one's the gas bag of the week yet.
[348] I think the imaging needs to be before gas bag of the week.
[349] We'll work it out.
[350] Maybe it'll take us another 12 weeks.
[351] We've been doing this for 20 years.
[352] We don't know how to do it.
[353] I've got to fire somebody, clearly.
[354] I've got to fire Robert in IT.
[355] Pablo.
[356] Gas bag of the week.
[357] That's all the imaging that all of metal arts production went into, and here is just Matt Rule being a gas bag.
[358] I think four teams from this league should get in every year because this is the best league.
[359] This is the NFL of college football on my mind.
[360] It stretches from coast to coast, different time zones, different weather.
[361] That's not to diminish any other league.
[362] The SEC is amazing.
[363] These other leagues are great, but the challenge in the Big Ten is going to be really difficult.
[364] Look at all of you, just staring back.
[365] I'm going to have to fire somebody.
[366] I'm going to have to.
[367] It's just obvious.
[368] I'm going to have to.
[369] Who do you want to take health insurance from the most?
[370] I just need to set an example.
[371] I just want a gas bag.
[372] I just want a gas bag of the week.
[373] Well, Greg, congratulations.
[374] You're the gas bag of the week.
[375] Yeah, Greg Cody.
[376] Gas bag of the week.
[377] See, it works after.
[378] So Rule wants four automatic bids into the playoff for the Big Ten.
[379] What a joke that is.
[380] Who is Matt Rule?
[381] Here's a rule.
[382] Finish above 500.
[383] Here's another rule.
[384] Make it to the pinstripe ball before you start talking about the college football playoff.
[385] And Matt Rule should be wearing a ski mask on the sidelines in Lincoln.
[386] Yeah, but like this was the Big Ten and SEC having more bids to the playoff was something that was on the table.
[387] And obviously the reason is that you get.
[388] more money for more playoff appearances and they want to solidify themselves as head and shoulders above the other two power conferences so I'm not surprised to hear a Big Ten coach advocating for this why do you have him in a ski mask because he's stealing money he went five and seven last year three and six inside the Big Ten he ain't sniffing the playoffs anytime soon sounds like he's your gas bag of the week he is new rules with Stugats I like this where you that's a better segment than Gasbag of the week here's a rule You just rip, yes, you giving Matt Rule new rules is something that I would like to hear.
[389] That has book potential, Stu.
[390] It does.
[391] I'm on it.
[392] Isn't that a Bill Maher segment?
[393] Yes.
[394] But it's not spelled R -U -H -L -E, new rules.
[395] All right, we're good.
[396] Isn't that R -H?
[397] As usual.
[398] Greg, I want some help.
[399] I mean, 16 and 34.
[400] 16 and 34 in his last four seasons coaching at the NFL level.
[401] and in college, and he's telling us what the rules should be?
[402] Here's a rule.
[403] Matt Rule shouldn't be telling us any rules.
[404] I like this.
[405] This is a good segment.
[406] This is so much better than Gaspack of the years of a few weeks.
[407] You might get this segment, Dad.
[408] I'm sorry.
[409] Greg Cody has a new segment that he would like to debut today.
[410] A dumb move of the week.
[411] Which is totally different from Gasbag of the week.
[412] This needs some of its own imaging as well.
[413] Can I get some examples before I choose one because surely our production staff has not actually created something ready to do dumb move of the week.
[414] Can we rename it wrong move of the week?
[415] Because for that I have imaging.
[416] All right.
[417] Oh, you're wrong.
[418] You are so wrong.
[419] Ha, are you wrong.
[420] You are so wrong.
[421] What are you wrong?
[422] You are so wrong.
[423] That's nice.
[424] Great.
[425] Angelic.
[426] Yeah.
[427] Biblical, religious, churchy.
[428] Don't think I can do better than this.
[429] All right.
[430] So this is the best we're going to to do.
[431] What is your wrong move of the week, Greg Cody?
[432] Well, here's the Las Vegas Raiders, you know, struggling and scrambling to be the second or third best team in a division dominated by the Kansas City Chiefs.
[433] Okay.
[434] And here come the Raiders in the middle of their training camp, mocking Patrick Mahomes.
[435] Not just mocking him in general, but mocking him taking a very personal shot.
[436] We all know Patrick Mahomes has a rather a distinctively unusual voice, right?
[437] Speaking voice.
[438] Well, they mocked his voice using a Kermit the Frog puppet as a prop.
[439] I'm here.
[440] And I just think that's the wrong move to not only tweak the quarterback who's dominating you, but to do so in sort of a, a cringy way.
[441] Kermit D. Frog here.
[442] I love Kermit.
[443] I would be flattered, even though it's so mean.
[444] Yeah, if someone said you spoke like Kermit the Frog, that would be?
[445] be flattering to you?
[446] No, you're right.
[447] Every time I see...
[448] What's so cute!
[449] What happened there?
[450] Every time I see the voiceover of Patrick Mahomes yelling, I'm here, and it's Kermit saying, I'm here, I'm here.
[451] It cracks me up every single time.
[452] If I was the Raiders, I'll give me a pass on that one.
[453] Here's a rule.
[454] Don't poke the bear.
[455] All right?
[456] There you go.
[457] Seriously.
[458] What are you doing?
[459] He already beats them anyway.
[460] What difference does it make?
[461] Poke away?
[462] Yes.
[463] He does do a good amount of beating of the Raiders, of everybody.
[464] Izzy, are you invited to Greg Cody's yacht birthday party?
[465] That is a fantastic question, Greg.
[466] We haven't sent out invitations yet.
[467] Yes, Izzy, you are on the list.
[468] Thank God.
[469] I was going to say.
[470] We haven't sent out invitations yet.
[471] I've been so nervous about asking this question because I wasn't sure, and just that, this makes me feel so much better.
[472] I've been on pins and needles all day.
[473] Do I get a plus one?
[474] I'm not confirming or denying that any anyone is or isn't, or Izzy, on the invite.
[475] What is happening here where you're not confirming anything and Chris Cody is just telling Izzy yes and Izzy celebrating, but it's your birthday party?
[476] Get in line on that one.
[477] My wife and my son are shepherding and ramrodding this whole thing.
[478] Because that's what you've told us to do.
[479] You've sent me many attacks, please tell me whom I'm inviting.
[480] You're trying to get yourself away from all of this.
[481] Okay, I'm just trying to insulate myself from post -invite criticism.
[482] How many people do you want there?
[483] How many people could fit on the boat?
[484] He has said 100 to 150 is about as far as he's willing to go with the open bar.
[485] So I like the idea of you're like a committee figuring this out.
[486] You gather like 250 names or so that would want to attend your birthday.
[487] And then you would now choose actually be the bottom of the problem is, though, then the boat has to be the one as big as China's was in the opening ceremony.
[488] You've got 400 people on it, 400 athletes on it.
[489] What is the capacity of the boat?
[490] I think we've been told 100 to 125 people would, you know, we don't want to be too crowded.
[491] It's not about the open bar thing.
[492] I just don't want to, you know, feel like I'm crammed into a lifeboat.
[493] If you want, I can just bring my boat and we can just hang out on the side if you need like some extra space.
[494] Like that.
[495] We'll just play the same music.
[496] That's not a bad idea.
[497] And we'll throw hors d 'oeuvres down at you.
[498] Lehman can bring his kayak.
[499] His what?
[500] Tie act.
[501] Oh, I thought you said it as pie act.
[502] Let's see, making an apple pie at my party?
[503] No, we're going to have...
[504] Okay, we need to see that.
[505] Lehman's pie act, please.
[506] Just hold on a second.
[507] Let me explain, let me find out what he meant here.
[508] Were you of the opinion that what Jessica was offering you is that on your birthday, her boyfriend would come with an act that involves pies on a kayak.
[509] He said.
[510] He can bring his pie act.
[511] That's what she said.
[512] That's what I heard.
[513] But you're sharp as a carpet tack, you are not delirious at the end of the show.
[514] No. You thought that Lehman, her boyfriend.
[515] Yeah, I know him as Lee.
[516] What is the...
[517] You got to understand, Dan, back in his early days, that was the entertainment.
[518] That was a guy with seltzer water and a pie to the face.
[519] Yeah.
[520] Back in the vaudeville days, am I right?
[521] Yes.
[522] Yeah, we may have a pie act on the boat.
[523] We're going to have a lot going on.
[524] I may have a guy rolling cigars.
[525] We don't know yet.
[526] You know, there's a lot to be.
[527] determined.
[528] What is it?
[529] September 21st.
[530] Let me check the calendar.
[531] Oh, what?
[532] I might have a work commitment that weekend.
[533] Get out of it.
[534] Okay.
[535] Juju.
[536] Get your priorities straight.
[537] Her boss is sitting right next to you.
[538] It doesn't matter.
[539] He'll be in the party.
[540] I invite him.
[541] I'm sure.
[542] You know who's going to be there?
[543] Fired Robert and Frankie who I fired for the gas bag of the week.
[544] They're going to be eating my hors d 'urbs.
[545] Do you know, you don't know yet whether you're invited or not?
[546] Or have we confirmed that you are I'm pretty sure I'm not invited after the old hospital bed, Instagram snap food.
[547] I think I got myself uninvited after this.
[548] He came and yelled at me, and I haven't looked at me in the eyes since.
[549] No, you were instantly forgiven for that.
[550] It was an honest mistake.
[551] Is he invited?
[552] Juju was outside of Dan and Stu was one of the first two names said.
[553] Like when it was going to be just like the smallest group ever, my dad said juju after Dan and Stu.
[554] Thank you, brother.
[555] Christopher continues to, you know, betray confidences and intimate details.
[556] Hmm.

[572] Don Lebertard.
[573] He called me, on my own podcast, he called me full of shit, claiming that I'm faking interest in the solar eclipse.
[574] Well, you do do this.
[575] You love to just get excited about everything.
[576] Okay, junior.
[577] Stugats.
[578] I had to school you and explain to you.
[579] He was going to take you to Augusta.
[580] When I was 17 years old, Alan Sherry and I used to haunt the Bueller Planetarium.
[581] This is the Dan Leibatar show with the Stugats.
[582] If I may, without getting overly sentimental here, I will tell you that Izzy Gutierrez is someone who grew up in this market.
[583] I don't know that there's a lot of anything professionally that makes Izzy as happy as you on this show.
[584] This is your 70th birthday and for the last five years while dealing with mortality stuff and worried legitimately about your cough and telling your son routinely, They, hey, tell your dad all the things that you feel about him, so he knows him, and he feels him.
[585] You're turning 70, man. There shouldn't really be any limits on this party.
[586] Like, you should blow it out.
[587] It should be a giant party that celebrates all of your narcissism, all of your fun, and all of the glorious you that is seven decades of Cody.
[588] You shouldn't spare expense, and you shouldn't stress it.
[589] Like, it shouldn't be a source of stress for you.
[590] Who am I going to invite?
[591] Hey, Chris, Erlene, help me out here.
[592] Like, you should throw this party in a big, big -ass way.
[593] No, I, I, it's going to be pretty big scale, honestly.
[594] And I'm not going to limit it by, you know, I don't want to pay this much for an open bar.
[595] I mean, that's not even a factor.
[596] But the size of the boat is, and money is not, because I know your wife is not as cheap as you.
[597] Like, you're the cheap one.
[598] Well, cheapish.
[599] She would describe you as cheap.
[600] Your son would describe, both your sons would describe, both your sons would describe.
[601] you as cheap or cheapish?
[602] Yeah, he's cheap.
[603] I like this game.
[604] Cheap or cheapish?
[605] There's a lot of close calls in any situation.
[606] In my neighborhood, there's close calls.
[607] You know, I'm going to invite this neighbor and this neighbor.
[608] What about the one down the street that I talk to twice a year?
[609] You know what I mean?
[610] There's just a lot of close calls.
[611] Speaking of close calls, we haven't had one in a while with Greg, have we?
[612] Because he sounds great.
[613] He looks great.
[614] He does not look like.
[615] like he's approaching 70.
[616] He's going backwards here.
[617] What's the secret?
[618] I'm a Benjamin Button of my era.
[619] No, my health is better than it's been in years.
[620] I'm finally on a system of medication that is really controlling my asthma.
[621] So mocking works.
[622] Whatever helps helps.
[623] I'd take eight, nine pills a day, but I'm not complaining.
[624] He sounds so much better now than he did when he's saying two -a -tickets to Paradise that we played yesterday.
[625] No question.
[626] Can we get that again.
[627] Let me hear it again.
[628] It was during the pandemic, and it was the start to the show, and Stugats didn't hear it.
[629] Two are going to take us on a trip so far from here.
[630] From boring mediocrity to dominance so near.
[631] You know why?
[632] Because we've waited so long.
[633] Since Marino.
[634] God.
[635] We've waited so long.
[636] Those were the fainting days You're better now, though Nine pills To a ticket to paradise Won't you Grab a mask What stopped the fainting The nine pills Now I'm thinking Fainting Days To the tune of Glory days Work on that, Yeti There you go Wow, that marina It's so painful.
[637] It hurts my throat.
[638] So you had...
[639] In the COVID reference, grab a mask.
[640] We'll leave tonight.
[641] Just to be clear, you had Jessica's boyfriend coming on to the boat with a bunch of pies?
[642] Yeah, bring your own pie, B -Y -O -P.
[643] Not making them on the boat He's bringing like a cooler full of pies For his pie act Yeah, if it's a pie act You tell me how is it going to work I'm picturing like it's like a pizza dough And you're rolling it out and spinning it on your finger I think so Needing it out in the air I know you're an accomplished baker I assume that Lee is too He's going to make a pie live on the boat And we're going to appreciate it Going to have a couple charts Yeah I'm imagining Lee coming early What do I sit these pies We'll have a pie table.
[644] That actually reminds me of something that we were going to ask Ron McGill.
[645] There was this video that was going viral of a fish with a dog's face superimposed over the fish's face.
[646] Super real.
[647] That was fake?
[648] So I had that.
[649] What?
[650] I pulled up this video on my phone the other night and I showed it to Lehman, who goes fishing all the time.
[651] And I was like, what would you do if you caught this fish?
[652] And he turns to me completely serious and goes, I think that's fake.
[653] Oh my goodness.
[654] Oh, my Lord.
[655] I was such a fish fan after seeing this.
[656] It seems very obviously fake.
[657] It's obviously fake.
[658] It's a dog's face.
[659] I'm watching at my phone.
[660] It's little.
[661] I was offended that he thought it was, like he thought I thought it was real.
[662] It literally looks like willow.
[663] You're going to hook a willow with a fin on it and a tail.
[664] I just drooled again.
[665] Definitely throwing that one back.
[666] Chris Cody, I want some assistance from you on something because the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody with a podcast that is very popular because Greg Cody goes to all the depths of his narcissism.
[667] For about a month now, your father in his way has been sending me in that gravelly voice of his the worst Joe Biden impersonation I've ever heard.
[668] like there are a lot of bad ones out there but none is worse than your father's we played some of his impersonation it's as bad a show as we've done in about 10 years the the one minute of your father trying to do this Biden impersonation he's now trying to sell me on the latest appearance of his gravelly voice of Joe Biden calling into the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody podcast and I don't want to play it well he tried to call Joe tried to call me. He got my voicemail.
[669] And my wife is always making fun of my voicemail because I say, hey, everybody, like a bunch of people are calling me when obviously it's only one person calling me. So anyway, I go, hey, everybody, my voice comes on, beep.
[670] And then Joe Biden is leaving a message from a raucous bowling alley, which is really strange.
[671] That's interesting.
[672] Yeah, so it's weird.
[673] But I don't want to play it.
[674] And Juju, can you make a ruling for me here?
[675] Please say yes.
[676] His voice has fallen apart.
[677] The last time.
[678] we did this, I maintain is the worst minute of show we've done in a decade that has plenty of bad minutes.
[679] You want to make a ruling on this the way that I would set it up is Joe Biden was calling you from a bowling alley.
[680] Yeah, that's what I just said.
[681] I already said it up.
[682] I think since it's such a sensitive topic and you know I care about sensitive topics, we should do it.
[683] Yeah.
[684] Hey, GC, it's Joe.
[685] I wanted to reach on to ever since this Business about me dropping out of the race.
[686] You want to let you know I'm okay.
[687] I'm great.
[688] The weight of the world is off my shoulder.
[689] In case you're here, I'm at a bowling alley right now.
[690] I tell you, I've got all this free time now.
[691] Jill reminded me I'm still the president.
[692] Why are you heading back to the way now?
[693] Right now, I'm at Scranton in a bowling alley.
[694] I stink.
[695] But it's okay.
[696] Now, Air Force One park in the bowling alley, parking lot.
[697] But, you see, I'm thrilled to hear you're on the Levitart show for the second time this week.
[698] That's so great.
[699] It's nostalgic for me because, you know, he used to run with Wow Bill Cody.
[700] That was the only person who called him Willie, other than his brother -in -law, George Lanott, who had restless leg syndrome.
[701] We'd be sitting in a bar, having a couple of scotches, and his leg would be tapping like a woodpecker.
[702] But listen, I want to assure you one thing.
[703] Just because I dropped out of the presidential race, I'm still in it to win it.
[704] And let me tell you some, I endorsed the woman who's going to be the first female president in United States history.
[705] because I have all the faith in the world and Camaro Harris.
[706] That was a nice message.
[707] It peaked at Scranton.
[708] That bowling out, it was raucous.
[709] Sit around the kitchen table and Scranton.
[710] Chris, I have known your father for a very long time.
[711] And I heard it in the Willie and the United States, the slur.
[712] That's about nine Miller lights.
[713] At least seven.
[714] But if somebody told you, Hey, this is an impression of an American president about seven or eight Miller Lights in.
[715] You would know exactly who that was.
[716] Thank you.
[717] Thank you very much.
[718] I got Air Force One parked at a bowling alley.
[719] I'm not going to say anything for fear of getting mansplained about what an impression is again, which is what happened last week when I said Chris's Biden was not very good.
[720] Hmm.
[721] No disrespect, by the way.
[722] Yeah, with all due respect.
[723] It's pretty good.
[724] Come on, Jess.
[725] Not terrible.
[726] Do you guys want to go have a fighting off?
[727] It's not good.
[728] You and your dad against...
[729] You can't compete with me. Sitting around the kitchen table in Scranton.
[730] My dad says to me, Joey.
[731] We spent way too much time sitting around the kitchen table.
[732] All he's got is Scranton.
[733] That's all he's got.
[734] Sitting around the table and Scranton.
[735] Scranton.
[736] It's not good.
