0:01

You're listening to Giraffe

0:03

King's Network.

0:11

This is the Dan Labatore Show with

0:13

the Stukas Podcast.

0:19

Over the last couple of weeks, if you've been

0:21

listening very closely to

0:24

all of the slop that this factory

0:26

puts out, you will have noticed

0:29

that Monday at about this time,

0:31

Billy and Stugatz totally fall apart

0:34

because they were in here cooking up God bless

0:36

football before the show. And they

0:38

were getting out there first

0:40

before good morning football,

0:42

before anybody gets out there. Good

0:45

morning football tries at 7am. But

0:47

Stugatz is in here cooking meth with

0:49

Billy at six o'clock in the morning and

0:52

dragging Lucy in here so they can have

0:54

a fast reaction and first reaction

0:57

to the things that happened in professional football.

0:59

Well, that's because I want to do less, to be honest with

1:01

you. You always say that college football gets buried

1:04

on Mondays and it does. And so we have Lucy in

1:06

who cares about college football more than anyone I've

1:08

ever met in my entire life. And therefore

1:11

her presence allows us to not ignore

1:13

college football because you're right. It does get ignored

1:15

on Mondays. And it lets us play Lucy

1:17

or Goosey Dan, because you can't play that with

1:19

someone not named Lucy. It's crazy. Does

1:23

that show have a name yet?

1:26

What show? Oh, you're talking about foot girls? College

1:29

football. No, stop saying that. Stop saying that. Stop

1:31

saying that. I don't like my DMs. Stop

1:33

saying that. The college football show

1:35

that would be Jessica and Lucy, Juicy.

1:39

No. It's

1:42

a Chris Cody joke. What do you want from me? You

1:44

combine two words together. It

1:47

always works when he does it. Why?

1:49

When I try it, it doesn't work for me. Yeah.

1:52

Yeah. It's a goofball. It

1:54

doesn't have a name yet. No, that's another show.

1:56

That is a different show. Yes.

1:59

movie We

2:03

should have them do a movie podcast as well

2:08

But you did God bless football with Lucy

2:10

today and Lucy shared with you this is the thing

2:12

though I don't love that. God bless football is stealing

2:15

the best stuff. It's getting here early in the morning

2:17

I'm interrogating minute for a

2:19

company. We're trying to build each other up. Are we not

2:22

right? That is correct But I'm confident

2:24

in order to sell God bless football like I'm outraged

2:27

by this because tension is a good sales

2:31

Effort but if you want I'll I'll

2:33

pretend to not care like I actually know yeah,

2:35

yes No,

2:38

I'm saying not care about more

2:41

football coverage. We need more

2:43

football coverage on a Monday from somebody For

2:47

the record you care about us. That is correct.

2:50

I care about you right? Well, what about

2:52

Lucy? I care about Lucy I care about

2:56

I care about getting Lucy's

2:58

best material here on our

3:00

show not you guys stealing

3:02

it from us So

3:06

do you want Lucy or Gucci for this show is that

3:08

we're at I want something from God bless

3:11

football for this show So that we can have

3:13

her best material here. Do we have

3:15

anything here that would uh, so

3:17

see foot girls. Ah Ah Do

3:21

do we have any video any audio any sound

3:24

from god bless football? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we

3:26

do the good stuff from Lucy

3:28

One half of juicy. Why was it girls? Get

3:34

out or go to the middle of the field because you're gonna get trampled I

3:37

got tripped my freshman year. I got trampled.

3:39

Oh my god,

3:40

and so I like went down my friends were gone I

3:42

was like, so this is it i'm gonna die And

3:44

then the next thing I noticed I know

3:47

a football player is picking me up and like

3:49

carrying me

3:49

like I got you That's

3:52

very nice. Who was it? I don't know Wait,

3:54

what it was a while because he just

3:56

dropped me. He just picked me up dropped me down

3:58

and walked away my

3:59

Unspoken time out. Wow. He

4:02

sensed that there was gonna be a problem for

4:04

you Well,

4:04

I think he might have almost stepped on me or something

4:07

And so he was a large guy he had to be

4:09

a lineman and so he scooped me up

4:11

Right and was like I got you drop

4:13

me off and then he had to run to the locker room

4:15

Wow, he saved my life amazing

4:18

what game was it not all heroes were caped

4:20

exact

4:20

This was Iowa, Michigan in 2016 So

4:22

if you played football for the University of Iowa in 2016

4:25

and you pick somebody

4:25

up on the field that way

4:27

But still you have no idea like who it

4:29

was.

4:29

He was like he picked me up. What

4:32

and was gone

4:32

Wow Lucy I believe

4:35

in your Distorted

4:37

lopsided zeal for college

4:39

football that no one could be

4:41

more heroic than a giant

4:44

man who appears and Carries

4:46

you to safety and you never know his name.

4:48

You don't know who he is. He saves you life He

4:51

rescues you in the middle of a violent scrum

4:54

and and and it's a 300 pound person,

4:56

correct?

4:56

Yeah, this felt like the great

4:58

like a great start for a rom-com, but it

5:00

just never finished

5:02

Because

5:11

you said that you remember Any

5:19

place on our show where the entire group

5:21

will feed like piranha more than somebody

5:24

tripping over a letter in a word It's

5:27

the place that all of us jump up to attention.

5:30

I mean Nobody's paying attention

5:32

until someone stumbles on a word and then everyone

5:34

eats your face and it becomes movie

5:36

for days and weeks And it sounds extra

5:39

funny It

5:42

is indisputably funny like if you put

5:44

the F where the M is it's not funny but

5:46

movie funny It would

5:48

be kind of funny movie yeah,

5:51

I guess you're right I Would

5:54

like God bless football

5:57

to

5:58

show us what it is

5:59

is that's happening Stu Gonts with

6:02

Justin Herbert because Austin Echler

6:04

consistently appears weekly with you on

6:06

that show and he's been exceptional

6:09

on a number of different subjects he's out right

6:11

now but if you're watching Stu

6:13

Gonts that game you said during

6:15

weekend observation observations

6:18

that Herbert can scoot yeah what he

6:20

did on the corner athletically the Max Crosby

6:23

before he got hit on the sideline and then all

6:25

the Chargers wanted to fight mm-hmm what

6:27

he did on that corner after

6:30

you know the success rate he had last

6:32

week against Minnesota when he was better against the blitz

6:34

than any quarterbacks ever been since they started tracking

6:37

it the labor

6:39

that that sport is for a month in

6:41

you have that quarterback and your coach

6:43

is already on the hot seat and snippy and

6:46

every game you play you're playing these

6:48

very close games that you can cough

6:50

up at the end they've won too straight and

6:52

he's still on the hot seat it's unbelievable

6:55

but the way the way Justin Herbert

6:57

is

6:58

is playing the quarterback play

7:01

that the Chargers are getting is the reason

7:03

even

7:04

though all their games are close

7:06

ridiculous no Dan he's the reason

7:08

I mean Echler is out Mike Williams is

7:10

now out for the season he's out there with

7:12

just Keenan Allen like

7:14

he's the reason he's having a phenomenal

7:16

season I'm just saying he's two

7:19

and two after four games of being pretty great

7:21

Kirk cousins just because he's having

7:23

a see Minnesota can't stop fumbling so

7:26

they simply cannot stop fumbling so it doesn't

7:28

matter that Kirk cousins has actually

7:30

been good because they're one

7:33

in three and nobody believes they're gonna do anything

7:36

this season no one three team has never made the

7:38

playoffs right does that change with 17 games

7:41

a lot of that data is based on a 17 game

7:43

season so it doesn't mean I'm sorry 16

7:47

game season and now they're at 17 games

7:49

so you start 0 and 3 but Minnesota

7:51

we all think right we I don't

7:53

think a lot of people are surprised that Minnesota

7:55

goes in and tries to rescue its season

7:57

by beating Carolina right nobody wants to watch

7:59

that

7:59

game though

8:01

nobody wants to watch that game no

8:03

unless you have unless you have money on it or if Kirk

8:05

Cousins is on your fans are bucket of death for now

8:08

I told you they were do nobody

8:10

likes when people win it bucket of death

8:13

I had the right process I put the Bengals back

8:16

cuz I was afraid of rabble doing the rabble thing but

8:18

then got the Falcons Emperor

8:21

Zerg my jerk day

8:24

by the way you are a jerk why

8:26

because he took the swap helmet and took all

8:28

me away from me now I have isn't deaf with

8:30

no money that was cruel no that

8:32

was especially cruel what happened there I

8:35

actually felt bad for Roy he was

8:37

my don't he I know I did it was

8:40

funny but I felt bad for you it's indisputably

8:42

cruel because it was in your control

8:44

Dan I know I had the swap helmet

8:46

though but this is what I had an accountant for I

8:49

not only took his by that when

8:52

we went to the fine bucket there were zero

8:54

dollars in it because Cody still

8:56

though it was Jeremy $20 from the

8:58

last bucket there was no money in there you

9:00

want to give them your five dollars for same movie you

9:03

know what I'll do that right come on in here

9:05

and grab

9:15

your five dollars but look at Billy Trent I'm

9:17

trying to play defense no I'm trying to

9:19

get things back on track here Roy it as

9:21

a bridge between this fine bucket

9:24

and the future fine bucket it was

9:26

cruel to go and go from by to

9:28

no money in the picket piggy bank and

9:31

instant death congratulations

9:33

there you go that'll teach you to say movie damn costly

9:38

I guess I'm laughing about movie I'm

9:41

glad it's just not me because I'd be worried but now

9:45

but you do have second day silly because it's

9:47

not pronounced like that to him you get that's right

9:49

it's not there's not an F put it on the pole

9:53

would you be embarrassed if you put an F

9:55

right in the middle of the word movie

9:58

to make it movie

9:59

It's like a leaf

10:02

thing, like movies, movie, movie.

10:06

You pluralize it.

10:06

It's much worse than that. Yeah,

10:08

it's bad. We've established

10:10

that, I feel like. Movie beds. Anyway,

10:18

let's sink into the couch, 25

10:21

milligrams, and watch Mike Ryan's teeth

10:23

grow. That's dangerous, man. What, 25? Yeah,

10:26

I don't do it often, but it's also the

10:28

first ever Toy Story Fun Day. You did 100. Yeah,

10:31

well, there was that time. But

10:34

I'm never doing that again. I learned my lesson.

10:36

Always read the numbers before Professor Ristler gets

10:38

started with one. Well, listen to the Ristler that he handed

10:40

to you. I mean, I told this story. You

10:43

didn't. I listened to him. He said,

10:45

don't take more than half. I took half. The same

10:47

thing happened to me. You got impatient because when you smoke marijuana,

10:49

you feel it instantly. When you take

10:52

it, when you eat it, it takes an hour. An hour

10:54

and a half. I'm not going to smoke marijuana. So after 30,

10:57

45 minutes, Mike, you were probably like, this isn't working, right?

10:59

So I had no. This

11:01

was the early days of the pandemic,

11:03

which was when I first tried gummies. And the Rock

11:06

should have been clearer. He should have been because

11:08

I'm a lot smaller than the Oh, you got me. It

11:12

wasn't the Rock, but a professional race

11:15

wrestler inside a bubble gave me you can already give

11:17

in context clues as to what brand this person

11:19

might be on and inside

11:21

a COVID bubble. And then I held it for a special

11:23

occasion. My wife's and I 10th anniversary

11:26

when we went to an island in the Keys

11:28

that was in the middle of a very stressful time.

11:31

And Dan had a had a plug. So

11:33

Dan's like, you should go here. It's good. It'll

11:35

be great stress. And I'll unplug an island.

11:38

Like it was Dan's personal island. So

11:40

I went there and it's only accessible

11:42

by boat. Is that where Genesis was? It's

11:45

only accessible by boat. So I thought right before

11:48

dinner, my 10th anniversary

11:50

dinner, I'd take half this chocolate bar and I'm

11:53

a novice at it. I

11:55

didn't think I don't know what milligrams are at this

11:57

point. The wrestler told me not to take more

11:59

than half I'm not gonna take more than half just slightly

12:02

more than half because that's how it broke and I

12:04

was having a great time had a wonderful dinner was

12:07

dancing with my wife it was amazing had

12:09

an entire bottle of wine and I was like I'm just gonna

12:11

go to bed just gonna go to bed a

12:13

bottle of wine yeah I wasn't drunk

12:15

come on come on I'm a big boy I can

12:18

handle that is a stunning amount

12:20

of that is I'm not

12:22

I was learning this is a novice move

12:24

and then I went to bed and then I fell off my bed

12:27

and then I lived in hell quite

12:29

literally I saw her briles and everything you should

12:32

do Cody Rhodes hey

14:14

Good thing PHD can't call us Dad. Yeah,

14:16

well that's what I kept telling myself. I'm like, I'm

14:19

gonna be the first. This is it. This

14:21

is how I go because I was like, I'd rather die

14:23

than call for the chopper

14:25

and live through that indignity. So

14:32

the process was all my, like, alright, I'm

14:34

gonna be the first person to ever die from this. I'm

14:36

prepared to die and not seek medical attention

14:39

because in the event that I don't die from this, that's even

14:41

more embarrassing than dying from it. Right.

14:44

Shooting death over the chopper, huh?

14:45

Oh, it'd be such an amazing legacy if

14:48

your obituary is like, Levitar

14:51

Show Executive Producer becomes first man

14:53

to die from THC overdose.

14:54

He took a hundred

14:56

milligram bar. And refusing help. Had

14:59

an island in the Keys

15:00

and died.

15:02

He

15:04

didn't want to make, he didn't want people to

15:05

make fun of him. I get him on the chopper though, I understand that.

15:07

I've been in that position where I thought I was gonna die

15:10

and the only way out was like a medevac.

15:11

And I was like, I can't, it's gonna

15:14

cost too much money. I'm gonna have to crawl up this mountain. What

15:16

was the position you were in that you thought you were gonna die?

15:19

I still

15:20

want to murder my brother-in-law. But

15:22

he took us up the wrong side of Table

15:25

Mountain in Cape Town and I literally almost

15:27

died climbing the mountain. It was,

15:29

I crawled up the last quarter mile like golem

15:32

on all fours. And at one point I like

15:34

took my shirt off and just put my back on

15:36

like a cold stone to try to

15:39

like cool off my core temperature because I was literally dying.

15:41

That's as scared as you've been. I

15:43

was crawling

15:43

up a mountain. It was horrible. And

15:46

the only way down would have

15:47

been if a helicopter came. But you refused? You

15:49

gritted through it because you didn't want to pay for the helicopter? I

15:51

mean

15:51

it was also like I was on a mountain. It would have taken, like I didn't

15:53

want to die. I just needed

15:56

to get to water and the water was on top of the mountain.

16:01

I thought my dad was going to die too. We're both going to die.

16:03

If the helicopter came, it would have had to take

16:05

both of us. It was terrible. I've told

16:07

you guys the story, correct? I

16:09

feel like I've told you the story that I

16:12

have never done or known anything

16:14

about what gummies were

16:17

or are. And

16:19

I had the typical novice reactions

16:22

to God's hugely novice reaction

16:24

of this isn't doing anything. I'm 50 years

16:27

old and I am, I don't know, an hour and a half in. It

16:35

didn't work. So of course you take a

16:37

little bit more. And what then happened,

16:40

I can't imagine what 100 milligrams

16:42

is because this is nothing what

16:45

I'm doing. But I thought, I went raging

16:47

straight to a place where I thought my

16:49

girlfriend was trying to steal my

16:51

kidneys. And then we called

16:53

my brother so he could calm me down.

16:57

And my brother was in on it too, obviously.

16:59

He too was trying. That's exactly what we would do

17:01

if we were stealing my kidneys. And

17:05

that's at a very light count. We'd call my brother

17:07

and he would soothe me. So I had to stay awake. They

17:10

just said, just fall asleep. Just

17:12

fall asleep. No, then you'll

17:14

steal my kidneys. I can't fall asleep.

17:19

Mike is a 10 times whatever that dosage

17:21

is. But

17:23

just to clarify, you still have your kidneys. I

17:26

don't know. I

17:29

feel like I was very worried that I

17:32

was going to wake up in

17:34

a bathtub filled with ice with stitches

17:37

on my, wherever my kidney is,

17:39

stupid. And that was just 10? It

17:41

was a very mild amount. You

17:44

guys got something weird in you, other than that 10 milligrams.

17:47

Yeah, well, it was the first time. I imagine you've developed

17:49

a tolerance for whatever the gummy does. Well, you

17:52

wanted another revelation. My first time was

17:54

on 100 milligrams. Yeah,

17:58

so I was very high. I'm desperately

18:00

respectful for a good year after that because

18:02

I'm like, I'm never doing that again. You

18:04

waited until you were

18:05

in your 30s to try edible marijuana?

18:08

You

18:10

say that's funny. How about this one? This

18:12

is this one. My mother doesn't find

18:15

funny at all. My brother,

18:17

who had a high tolerance level

18:19

for these things, thought it would be a

18:22

good idea to give my mom one

18:24

of these at 78 years old. Yeah,

18:27

I've been there with my parents. Because

18:30

she was calling the police because

18:33

she'd been poisoned and was dying. My

18:36

father was wandering around the house in circles.

18:38

He actually

18:40

wasn't on anything. No, no, no. He

18:43

wasn't on anything. It was the witching hour. I thought

18:45

my father's always reacted to fear. The

18:47

number of times he has passed out when I've

18:49

had to go into a surgery or something,

18:55

fear grabs him.

18:58

And so he was walking around in circles because

19:00

my mother was afraid that something

19:04

horrible was

19:06

happening to her. It was not fun. It

19:08

was not. Also, by the way,

19:10

this is another one for Mike. This is another

19:12

one for Mike. Mike doesn't know the depths of this here

19:15

because this is how hard and deep he

19:17

went on 100 milligrams. My

19:20

mother is obsessed with control. That

19:23

loss of control from that kind of

19:25

milligram counts made her

19:27

freak out in an unusual way. And I will tell

19:30

you again, Mike, you did 10 times

19:32

that dosage. Someone

19:36

accidentally gave my mom

19:38

THC banana bread last Thanksgiving

19:40

and it was like the worst night of our

19:42

family. Accidentally? It was at a party

19:44

and she ate it and it wasn't able to. THC

19:46

banana bread sounds like the whitest damn thing anyone

19:49

can eat. It's

19:52

delightful though. It does sound like

19:55

an amazing evening. Here's the thing with edibles

19:57

though. It's like a lazy river.

19:59

not fight the edible. If

20:02

you fight the edible and don't let the edible

20:04

take you where it wants to take you, that's

20:06

where you run into problems. This is what I'm talking about! I'm so

20:09

imagine! You're thinking about it too much, why is it

20:11

gonna kick in? Let me dig in there half! And

20:13

the next thing you know, you're melted into your couch!

20:15

I don't mean to do this. There's

20:18

Emperor Zurg! I mean if someone is stealing

20:20

your kidneys! And Flinky Dog!

20:25

I have promised that I am not doing this just

20:27

because I am feeling ravaged and insecure

20:30

about calling it a movie.

20:33

But I believe Mike Ryan's need for

20:35

control served him not at all once

20:37

it is that this thing kicks

20:39

in and grabs you and is

20:42

ruinous. You would never want to do that again if it

20:44

grabs you like that. No, it was terrible. It

20:47

was awful. I had no baseline

20:49

for what? A hundred milligrams?

20:51

Like you might as well told me a gajillion milligrams.

20:53

Like I don't know what any of that stuff is. It's a milligram!

20:56

It's just, it's small! No, it's

20:58

MG! I'm like ahh, metric system, I

21:00

don't need that. If

21:02

someone tells me to take me half and they're

21:05

of a comparable size, I'm gonna go ahead

21:07

and believe them. I had no idea that this was coming

21:09

from a pro. No

21:11

idea. He did, he was very serious

21:14

when he turned to me. He's like, hey, never take more than

21:16

half. I was like, alright. And he's like, no. Never

21:20

take more than half. And I followed the instruction.

21:22

I maybe had like

21:24

maybe four extra milligrams by taking a bigger

21:27

half, but you know, it's not gonna do me in.

21:30

Stu Gatz, there is a baseball

21:32

story from yesterday that I wanted

21:34

to get to with you and I don't know.

21:36

The pods? I don't know that, not the pods,

21:38

no. Yeah, watch out for the pods.

21:41

Heaten up.

21:42

The last game of the season did not mean

21:44

anything in the distinguished, the illustrious

21:47

career of one Joey Votto.

21:50

It is just goodbye. Your last

21:53

game, not unlike Miguel Cabrera,

21:55

you're seeing somebody. You know you saw greatness. You know

21:57

you saw excellence in this case. You saw

21:59

it from a bike. gone time, a guy who stays

22:01

with his team and it loses a bunch

22:03

and they had an exciting season with young players. Really

22:06

cool story. If you saw Joey Votto grow

22:08

old in Cincinnati and be the only

22:10

thing about Cincinnati baseball that has mattered

22:12

in way too long. Like that's a baseball

22:15

city. They loved their baseball. They were dying to watch

22:18

and winning baseball again and Votto's

22:20

been a rose growing in a sewer there for a long

22:22

time.

22:25

But his last game he gets ejected.

22:27

What did he do? Like

22:29

ump. You can't do that. Like

22:32

come on man. Come

22:35

on. It's a game no one wants to be at. It's

22:37

the last game. If you have any earthly idea

22:39

how tired these people are. They're

22:42

flying from city to city. It's

22:44

an unreasonable lifetime. Televising

22:47

baseball games 162 nights and 162 times in

22:49

like 200 games. But

22:53

the only reason a Reds fan... 200 nights.

22:56

Excuse me. You got it. The

22:58

reason a Reds fan showed up to that game, any Reds fan

23:00

showed up to that game was to see Joey Votto for the

23:02

last time. You cannot eject Joey

23:04

Votto. The guy that everyone came to see. You

23:07

can't do it. Well what are the details though?

23:09

Because he must have done something, right? This isn't

23:11

just the saying of a word. He

23:14

must have crossed the line by leaps and

23:16

bounds. I mean what is crossing the line

23:18

in baseball? What did he do? What?

23:21

I don't think you should say the Reds did very good attendance

23:23

this year. Like I'm telling you that this caught

23:25

fire in Cincinnati. They badly want to field

23:28

something for their baseball

23:30

team in Cincinnati. The Bengals just got here man. The

23:32

Bengals have been cheap and an embarrassment and the Reds have

23:34

been too. That's a sports town. They

23:36

love their sports there and that team was

23:39

interesting, exciting and young. I'm

23:41

just genuinely curious what Votto

23:43

must have done in order... Not curious

23:45

enough to read the story. I feel like

23:48

Baron lies the answer. But

23:51

I'm saying that I'm saying in the hypothetical

23:53

not having read the details,

23:56

I'm saying what does he have to do? Shiver man?

23:58

Like there should be no... next to no reason

24:01

for rejecting Joey Vato no matter what

24:03

he has said or done on that day, give

24:05

the man the pleasure and the freedom to light up an

24:07

umpire on his way out as a joy of baseball

24:10

that is from a bygone time. Let the old dinosaur

24:13

leave the premises the way

24:15

that he wishes to after playing

24:17

baseball on his Sunday afternoon, closing

24:20

his career, and ripping an umpire

24:22

on the way out. Well, he also hasn't said he's retiring.

24:25

He said he hasn't decided his future yet, so it may

24:27

not be his life today. But if you're the young, you have no idea,

24:29

but it may be his last game. And

24:31

if it is, that's not the way to go out. You

24:33

don't kick him out of his last game, potentially his

24:35

last game. He was arguing balls and strikes, by

24:37

the way. Well, this is another

24:39

thing. Terrible. So, guys, this is another thing

24:41

about baseball that I have loved. These

24:43

guys get so good at the strike zone,

24:45

so good that when they're arguing, they're

24:48

right almost every time. Especially

24:50

that guy. That guy. Yes. That

24:53

guy who, there was a stat one time about him not very long

24:56

ago. He

24:58

has since popped up. But I think Joey

25:00

Votto went like 15 years

25:03

of his career without popping up in the infield.

25:06

Like he's got a certain expertise

25:08

about what he's doing. Dan, I found a

25:10

helpful 4-minute and 20-second video of

25:12

Joey Votto explaining what happened that led

25:15

up to his ejection. I could send it to

25:17

you if you'd like, because 4-minute's a long video.

25:20

I'm not that curious. 4-20 minutes. I

25:22

saw an abbreviated version of it, and he said he just

25:24

disagreed with the call. Come

25:27

on! He

25:29

must have said one of the... Is baseball still doing

25:31

you can't say? You can't call somebody

25:33

a bleep sucker? Is baseball still doing that?

25:36

He was just disagreeing with a call. But I'm saying,

25:39

there's... Unpiers have a rule. There's one

25:41

rule. Don't say that word. Well,

25:44

I don't think Joey Votto said that, or at least he didn't

25:46

fess up to it.

25:48

Fall

25:48

is just around the corner, and if you're

25:50

like me, you're settling back into a busier

25:53

routine. You know I like to go on vacation.

25:55

So I'm going to be traveling a lot this fall

25:58

to football games and events.

25:59

with Golic and DraftKings, and that's

27:35

Don Leb Thank

28:01

you Billy again for laughing in my face. Stugats!

28:04

I mean, I have a question for you. Yes,

28:07

we can hear you. Hello? Yes

28:09

sir, action.

28:10

Man, I'm really sorry. This

28:13

is literally the worst way to ever do this. This is burning

28:15

my heart that this is happening, but

28:17

if you can hear me,

28:19

just understand. I'm sorry. This is The

28:21

D'Allebatar Show with the Stugats.

28:28

I want to get to some video here of

28:31

Stugats. Stugats was showing

28:33

me just seconds ago and I didn't

28:35

know the context for it. He's showing me

28:38

how it is that he was at Pebble Beach

28:40

and he was at, evidently,

28:42

a hole that Dwayne Wade played

28:45

over the weekend. And Stugats

28:47

wanted me to watch his golf shot,

28:49

an amazing golf shot at a par

28:52

three, what is that, 200 yards away, 185 yards away?

28:56

What is that? About 160, 70 yards away. Okay,

29:00

so Stugats comes close to the hole here,

29:02

didn't want it videotaped,

29:04

told the video guy to shut it down

29:07

and then turns and says, you got that because he

29:09

had a good shot. Did you get that?

29:11

How far from the hole were you?

29:13

I was about seven feet from the

29:15

hole. And what drove me crazy

29:17

is that Dwayne Wade, who was on with us right

29:20

before he went into the Hall of Fame, told us he

29:22

was taking up golf and he's

29:24

already done something that I've never

29:26

done, playing golf

29:27

for 40 years. The scene is beautiful

29:29

at that hole and Dwayne Wade, I

29:32

don't know how you would react Stugats, but

29:34

Dwayne Wade reacted to a hole in

29:36

one, less scenic because it's gray.

29:39

He reacts the way that one

29:41

would react to winning a championship

29:44

like a childlike joy. Oh,

29:47

come on. He

29:52

runs up a hill and

29:56

that is childlike joyousness.

30:00

out this table, he would jump on it and say, this is

30:02

my course. No doubt. That's

30:04

refreshing for something for the Heat to not go

30:06

downhill, I guess. How

30:10

is everything going from Heat Media Day

30:13

where Chris and Tony are going to join us

30:15

at some point, allegedly, if video gets

30:17

up and running? I just saw them sit down somewhere

30:20

with Kevin Love. We will have

30:22

Chris and Tony from Heat Media Day

30:25

just the sounds of wailing. Will we not

30:27

crying from the Heat facility? If

30:29

you want that to be the post game, we can make that the post game. Joe's

30:32

over. Pretty much. We're

30:35

waiting for them to get the sound right.

30:37

They've been testing the sound throughout the show. I

30:40

keep expecting us to go to them and bam out

30:42

of bio, but we're running out of show when we don't

30:44

have sound. They're talking to Kevin

30:46

Love now, though, so I can't wait for that on the main show at

30:48

some point. Coming your way. All

30:51

right. I could use show from them today since

30:53

they're across the street and I thought we were

30:55

checking sound all show today. You did get show from them. Do

30:58

I need to remind you of Chris's laugh? We can cue that

31:00

video up again. Let's go ahead and play that again. This

31:03

is kind of perfect on behalf of Metal Arc Media.

31:05

Great, yes. This is all we've gotten from, again, a

31:07

Heat Media Day where they're all available right

31:09

across the street. They're 100 yards away. Here

31:12

you go. That

31:18

is Chris Cody's only contribution to the show

31:21

today on a football Monday where he could have been used

31:24

either here for football or there

31:26

for basketball, but we are getting neither of

31:28

these things. I can't change the time of Heat

31:30

Media Day, Dan. But

31:32

we've been testing sound from their old

31:35

show because Bam Onabayo is supposed to join

31:37

us with them. You'll be happy to know that tomorrow's

31:39

show is going to be great. Lucy,

31:43

over the weekend. Do

31:47

we have the sound worked out? I

31:50

don't think we have that sound worked out yet.

31:52

We're actually going to dub. I've been told the sound's not

31:54

working for Kevin Love, but we'll just dub it in post. Okay,

31:57

that's fine. It'll look like he is poorly lip-synched.

32:00

That's fine. That's the way that we'll do that. Just run

32:02

that. You can... Stu got said

32:04

before that video came up that Chris Cody has

32:06

arrived in the same place that his father's arrived,

32:08

someone who makes him smile upon sight.

32:11

Yes. Poorly dubbed, like an old Godzilla movie.

32:14

It's Greg, it's Chris and your dad. That's it.

32:17

Chris Cody sitting next to Kevin Love,

32:19

visually, the thing that undulates

32:21

and echoes is, what's he doing there? He

32:24

doesn't belong there. Ooh, I think I just saw Thomas Bryant.

32:27

No! We thought we saw his father.

32:29

Season Hall. We thought he would be... We

32:31

saw his father behind him, but it was only

32:34

because all media members wear shirts

32:36

from the 1980s. They have a New

32:38

Jersey sponsor. It's sponsored by Carnival.

32:41

Wow! Yeah. Which... What is Carnival

32:44

without a few clowns? Okay,

32:47

Mike. This is where you are now? They did this.

32:49

They did this by failing me. This is where you are now? No, Pat

32:51

Riley failed the city. Failed Miami. Is

32:54

that a boy? Failed Dwayne Wade. Mm-hmm. I

32:57

told you. All right, go ahead. Go ahead. They

32:59

told Jimmy Butler, like, okay, we're doing

33:01

the funny media day looks again. All right,

33:04

that's cool. He's likable. He's

33:06

also 34 now. Keep

33:09

going. Don't stop now. Let's go. Go

33:12

all in on your criticism. You're angry at this

33:14

franchise. It was in the finals last year.

33:16

Look at Jessica's line. They were also in the play-in last year.

33:18

Jessica? Jessica. But they made

33:20

it to the finals in the Eastern Conference Finals the year before. But

33:23

Kevin O'Connor said it was a historically weak path to

33:25

the conference. Finals in the bubbles, right? Even though I

33:27

think it's quantifiable that it is a hardest path. Can we just be happy

33:29

about the Marlins? Oh,

33:31

yeah. No, they're in the playoffs. She's coming with me to Philly.

33:33

Great day in Miami. You're

33:35

going to Philly? Yeah, I'm going to Philly. Are you kidding

33:37

me? Miss this? Wait. What is it

33:39

again? You said you had no bandwidth, I mean. Yeah,

33:42

but bandwidth. But I've never been to Philly. I want to see

33:44

the Rockies. You can't name any of their

33:46

starting pitchers, right? You don't know anything about the team. No,

33:49

no, no. Lazardo. Lazardo. You

33:51

learn that because you didn't know anyone else. David Weathers

33:54

has a son and Ryan is his name

33:56

out. Who? Well

34:00

you lapse into fear in the next couple of days

34:02

like how does this work? It's a best of three on the

34:04

road. Hold on, I think it stands just a moment. Yeah.

34:07

Next round, yeah. Really?

34:10

Wait, you're buying tickets for next round? Yeah, because this

34:12

round is on the road. It's in Philly, so I'm hoping

34:14

to make it to the next round. Right. Yeah,

34:17

tickets are pre-seals right now. Well, how much

34:19

are they, Billy? Well, it depends. I'll

34:21

be sitting with the comic book upstairs. Yeah, $40. I'm

34:24

surprised you're doing that, Billy. Why is that? Because

34:26

you don't buy the next round until this round is done, until they're there.

34:29

Well, no, then the tickets won't exist anymore. I have to buy the

34:31

tickets when they're available. I don't just side the

34:33

on sale day. Getting ahead of yourself. Well, I'll get a

34:35

full refund if not. I already read into what

34:38

happens if they don't make it that far. I'll get a refund.

34:40

Okay. Are you risking the idea

34:42

of getting to Atlanta? Are you willing

34:46

to push your chips that far? Because

34:48

you should be scared of them. Everyone is scared

34:50

of them, but you point out as you do all the time. Yeah,

34:53

do it when it matters. That franchise traditionally

34:55

doesn't, although these guys did without

34:57

Freddie Freeman, and now they're better. Like

35:00

they had Freddie Freeman then, and now they

35:02

are better because Acuna is

35:04

the best thing this side of O'Donohue. We'll

35:06

see. I mean, look, guess what, Dan? Everyone's record

35:08

is zero and zero right now. We'll

35:11

see is not an enthusiasm or a rallying cry.

35:13

Why not? We'll see. We'll

35:16

see. No one cares. We'll see.

35:19

We'll see. They have Quito. Quito's not

35:21

starting. He's not going to be. He's not starting?

35:23

We will see. We will see. We

35:26

will see. We will see. We will

35:28

see. They have Dan Streli.

35:30

We will see. No. We'll

35:33

see is a rallying cry. Billy is the

35:35

meekest and most pathetic of the ways

35:37

to enter the fray. That is not

35:39

proud. That is not confident. That

35:42

is not swaggering. You came in here shaking your shoulders.

35:44

I mentioned the Braves and it becomes We'll See. Well,

35:46

we'll see. You know, are

35:49

we saving a Valdi for game three?

36:46

36:48

leisure Lucy and preferably before

36:50

the end of the segment But maybe in postgame the

36:52

video that you have of

36:55

you at the airport You like to

36:57

gots come back from trips, and you have a lot

36:59

of airport observations things

37:01

that happen to you We always

37:03

know when Stu gots is traveled because weekend observations

37:06

is filled with him complaining about rental cars

37:08

and Customer service people at the airlines,

37:11

but what happened to you where were you this weekend?

37:13

What were you doing and what happened

37:15

this was a first for me? I've never had

37:17

this happen to me at an airport or anywhere

37:19

on public transportation before I went to go visit my

37:21

brother this weekend In Iowa it was a very

37:24

last-minute trip, so I actually had to drive from

37:26

Iowa to Chicago So I was kind

37:28

of cranky dropped off my rental car

37:30

I'm waiting in the shuttle and we're about

37:32

to go to the airport and the guy who's driving is

37:34

so nice He's such a sweet man. He's

37:36

very enthusiastic And then

37:39

he started singing for everyone and

37:41

he just kept singing the whole time original

37:44

songs Songs that he wrote

37:47

about working at the airport and being

37:49

tired and I was worried I was gonna

37:51

miss my flight I didn't know if I had time

37:53

to check my bag or not and he just kept singing

37:55

and singing and I don't think That you should be

37:57

allowed to sing to somebody unless they back

37:59

You for it hmm.

38:02

I do if you bought a ticket then yes, you can

38:04

sing I don't know if you guys have ever been in a position

38:06

your men So probably not but like

38:09

if when I was in college and I'd go to like a

38:11

like a frat party or something There'd always be a guy who's

38:13

like I have a guitar and he would sit and he

38:15

would he would sing for you like in The Barbie

38:17

movie. Yeah, exactly movie

38:19

movie

38:20

and it's the most uncomfortable experience

38:22

So I had like 15 to 20 minutes

38:25

of original songs on my way to

38:27

the airport yesterday when I didn't know if I was

38:29

gonna

38:29

Original so what was the worst of them? What have

38:31

you sent over the video here? What are we gonna hear

38:34

be what are we gonna be serenaded with you're you're

38:36

saying that someone should always ask

38:38

permission before that You should not

38:41

listen to someone singing without consent

38:43

Yes Because it makes me so uncomfortable when someone

38:45

just starts singing to me like am I

38:47

supposed to cheer like I'm just sitting

38:49

here And I appreciated he was

38:52

trying to make the vibes right like this is no shame to

38:54

this guy He just it's a little

38:55

bit of shame. You don't want what he was given It's

38:57

a little bit of shame to this guy the singer. He did

38:59

three songs All right, let's let's hear any

39:01

of them one of them go ahead and play one of them,

39:03

please

39:05

The

39:28

part I glazed over and this was

39:32

my biggest mistake

39:47

25 milligrams

39:55

when I hear him Lucy. I'm so sorry

39:57

because I skipped right past

39:59

original songs you're saying

40:01

the phrase original songs changes everything

40:05

original

40:05

song so after his first original

40:07

song which was about being sleepy everyone

40:10

clapped and cheered and so we were like okay cool

40:12

he did a song great then he went to song

40:14

number two right and we were like there's

40:16

more in there was so much and I

40:19

get it he was trying to make it like a happy vibe

40:21

no shame to this guy live your life

40:23

makes you happy but I'm cranky at

40:25

the airport and I did not want to hear him sing

40:28

yeah but that's on you and the rest of the bus everyone

40:30

else in it you clap you cheer

40:32

no and he is spurred on to do more right he

40:34

thinks you like it and he thinks you want more it's

40:36

a terrible job I did

40:38

not clap at all I was very unprepared

40:40

for it and it was a 15-minute drive

40:42

and he sang all

40:43

15 minutes original

40:46

song too I recorded two of them what you

40:49

know if he had a tip jar or something

40:50

he might have had a tip jar I will say

40:52

that the second that bus was parked I ran

40:54

off of it really that is rude

40:58

sweet home Chicago singing

41:03

without permission at you original

41:05

songs where he just he would he cracked what

41:07

Greg Cody would do crack itself off he would

41:13

love performing it every

41:15

I you've got a captain you've got a captive

41:18

imprisoned audience of

41:20

cranky people and you're just hostilely and

41:22

aggressively singing happily at them I'd

41:25

put that in an asylum and make

41:27

people crazy with it
