This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stucats podcast. Chris Cody, where is your father? I believe he was scurring to the bathroom, but I was like, Dad, we're starting. He's like, your brain beating me. And I just kept walking. So I don't know. Come on.

Just a little bit of peepee. Just a little bit. Wow, we're getting this. That's right. That's what we're getting. Squirt. Yeah, the inner monologue is having trouble peeing. Greg is late to the segment.

Greg, I'm sorry to do this to you. That is a $1 fine for being late to the start of the segment. You owe a dollar. Do you have it on you? I don't. I don't believe. I don't believe. I don't think I do.

Funny you mentioned that, Dan, because the fine bucket is presented by Moneyline. Download the Moneyline app or visit Moneyline.com to learn more. Moneyline. Make money easy. Oh, forget about it. No, we will not. When you don't have the dollar, it becomes a double fine. It just becomes double.

That's all. We're actually enforcing these now. The negotiations with Udonus Haslam fell apart. He was going to be the enforcer for the season. You don't say. This time talk and some societal issue will pop up and we'll move on. You know, we're heading towards Dan, a potential Udonus Haslam versus Cyclones rematch. I know we've got to win our first round.

The playoffs are set. We can get to that later, but I'm very excited about the... No, give me a cyclones update. People care about our highlight team. I care about our highlight team. I mean, the only up. update is yesterday we clinched the two seed. It was a good season overall. We started out hot. We had a little cold streak in the middle, but we end up the two seed out of the six teams in the league.

I feel like it was just a couple weeks ago. Heads were about to roll. Yeah. And now four teams make the playoffs. So we have playoffs this Friday. 3 p.m. Matinee, they gave us the, you know, they kind of, you know, there's the 3 p.m. and the 7 p.m. Oh, you get like the NBA TV slot? We got the not so great. But that's good. Go Cherries, the best player in the sport. They're always going to put him in the prime time. the flex. I understand the flex. But if you would have asked me, this is the ideal scenario entering the final stretch of matches. We wanted the two seed. That gives us a tiebreaker. Should we eventually meet up with the renegades? Did you take the last game? Because you wanted to be number two? No, no, we won the last game. No, we needed to win the last game and we did win the last game. And now

Chargers, who are the number one seed, go up against the renegades and the best player in the world. We have the fireballs two, three matchup. So if it should Should it be tied after the six matches, we get to decide who the tie-breaking tandem is there. It's a big advantage. It's a huge advantage because when you get to this level of the playoffs, I mean, these games are super tight. And also, should we meet Go Cherry in the final, we can avoid Go Cherry in the final by dictating who the tie-breaking tandem shall be. So, you could argue you'd rather be two than one here, but we still need to TCB against a fireball.

I don't know if you guys can see Mike from here, and I ask this question with genuine curiosity. I'm not looking to make fun of you. Is your left eye? Is that Talladega? No, I have shingles. I'm toughing it out. You're welcome. It's very painful.

It comes down to pain tolerance and how much of a man you are. Bumping some pills or no? A little bit. I thought shingles didn't have pills that could really help you there very much. It's a pain thing. So, yeah. You know, shingles is a form of herpes. How transferable is that?

It's not contagious anymore. Yeah, I actually. I actually, like three months ago, had shingles. Never told anyone. Because when I went to the doctor, they had told me I was already not contagious anymore. I'm sorry, you guys showing the family lifetime chemistry that we've come to appreciate around here. I didn't hear what you said because your son was talking. I was going to just mention that my roof has shingles.

Wow. Stephen Colbert is off the air in less than a month, May 21st. If you have not been following late night, it passes for vigorous media these days. what Kimmel and Colbert are doing for America, but late night has died, at least in part, because everybody watches whatever they want the following morning, and that's not a business model when you have to pay, you know, hundreds of people. And so, if you're not watching what's happening at CBS, okay, a news giant is being taken over by biases in a way that makes even 60 minutes one of the greatest and most reputable things that's ever been on

television. 60 Minutes is surrounded largely by, you know, problems, issues, biases, and now the late-night show that is the number one show in America has a month left to challenge a president who's putting his face in the past. So why are they doing it if it's number one? They're, well, it's complicated. They would argue that it loses too much money and late-night is dead. And also everyone notices that CBS bowed on a lawsuit. frivolous lawsuit to the president. CBS's entire news outfit has been contaminated by leanings. And so, and they're leanings that skew right.

And I'd understand anybody who's listening to this, who would say, and television is skewed left for the entirety of my lifetime. But you've seen what's happening here with the biases, and this is one of the giants. This, as I keep talking to you guys about credibility and the importance of truth, and I keep telling you things like, oh, there was an assassination attempt at the correspondence dinner, and the initial reaction of the Internet is to say that's fake? That's not real. The initial reaction is a sort of consensus of I doubt everything I'm seeing now because

gunshots are so common. In this climate, Colbert has had a monster run of success and he retires on top and he'll be fine. Conan O'Brien might be the most successful of all of these hosts because he has all stuff and now the audience is his. It will go where Colbert goes, but I will miss him on the forum that is playing court jester

to this administration and being challenging and reaching a lot of people with something that news generally doesn't do well, which is entertained. And so he's giving his exit interviews. He is somebody who has been a very

strong, powerful force in politics and news, because I remember telling you guys 20 years ago, stunned that the change of network news that made John Stewart our most credible news person, according to American polling, because he wasn't just giving you the news. He was doing so in a way that made you laugh

and called out all the hypocrisy. So I will miss Colbert here. Kimmel, it's been amazing to watch Kimmel's career, go from Man Show to what he's presently doing. It's been amazing to watch Jimmy Fallen and not keep up and protect the reputation of the Tonight Show by just being something that exists,

All right, yeah. Benignly. But this whole thing being dead makes me sad. And him as a court jester governor, I will miss him because his shows have been very good for a while now. I mean, we can argue that it's dead. I don't think so because the government seems to be paying awfully close attention to it. And to me, the late night story isn't Colbert saying goodbye finally after several months. It's what's happening with the FCC forcing ABC-owned stations to file for early renewal. Minutes after Melania and the President of the United States complain about the jokes that Jimmy Kimmel is telling, they're leveraging these FCC license against network tell. television companies that have a Super Bowl upcoming because they can take the jokes,

the First Amendment rights of these comedians. That's what's happening in America. Are you good with it? No, that's fascism, Dan. That's being an authoritarian. I'm not okay with it. And the last time that FCC licenses were leveraged, people all came out in unison across both sides condemning this sort of stuff.

so we should not let this news just go idly by as we're talking about ballrooms here. The government is once again illegally leveraging FCC license against entities because they don't like jokes. I would make that point again and again, I think rhetorically, we probably need to stop with fascism and authoritarianism. Well, they need to stop pretending to be them. Well, but no, this is all I'm saying, right? you're not changing anybody's mind with that because anytime anyone hears fascism, authoritarianism, or socialism,

they just shut down the conversation wherever it is that they already are. Cool, they can describe to me what that is. Well, but you just described it factually by saying the government is weaponizing arms in order to shut up the free speech of gestures. Like, that's what's happening. They keep coming after. after Jimmy Kimmel, they already got Colbert because I don't know what to believe exactly about what's happening at CBS, but the people with all the money are getting more and more money and can do something at CBS, like hand it over to their kid who doesn't care about what your previous generations thought of news, thought of credibility, thought of anything.

This is a race to the most dollars from a bunch of people who already have a bunch of dollars. and in their path, they destroy the Washington Post. The New York Times doesn't have the credibility it had five years ago because you need to have a monster amount of money to fight the government with its arms. You have to settle or you feel like you have to settle a frivolous lawsuit, a clearly ridiculous lawsuit, and just give the president of the United States $16 million because he's got lawyers to make the nuisance go away because you don't have the wherewithal to fight

as all of these things die and the American people don't seem to care enough because they're worried about their bills. They're worried about the things that are happening at home, not in the fantasy land of what's happening on television. Well, I don't think it's because the president has lawyers, even though he does certainly have those. The president has the power to make antitrust things go away. We saw with Live Nation and Ticketmaster how they were going to be taking a task, and then there was a settlement because of direct government interference. the government can broker these deals and overlook some antitrust exemptions should they feel that there's some sort of benefit to them. That is very clearly what's going on. It is out in the open.

Some people are okay with it because it falls more in line with their political views. And I would once again, as I often have, remind everybody that the political pendulum, especially in this country, swings from side to side. And a lot of the people that are okay with this because it benefits them now would certainly throw a hissy fit if the shoe were on the other foot. You mentioned the economy and people caring more about that. That's why fascist leaders like root for the economy to tank. It's so that they can get a conglomerate of their people in power to gain more money. They want the working class to feel separated from the work that they're actually doing, to feel separated from what they're contributing to, and then also feel a bigger focus on things

like gas prices and egg prices because they'll be distracted by everything else that's going on behind the scenes. They won't worry about that. They need to worry about the day-to-day. That's why it's a benefit for them. The top 11% of American wealth owns 93% of the stock market. The other night I was staying in. At least, that was a plan.

Then the text from my buddy Eagle Eye comes in. Mike, we've got the games on. I say, yeah? I grab a pack of Miller Light, and immediately my plan's gone. Now it's playoff basketball. Every possession feels huge. Baseball's on another screen, and I somehow care about that, too. Everybody's got takes flying.

Nobody's watching just one thing, and we're all way more into it than we ever expected. It was one of those nights that you take a sip, you look around, and you think, yeah. This was the right move. That's why I reach for Miller Lite. It's clean, refreshing, easy to drink, root for taste with simple ingredients, just 96 calories and 3.2 carbs, the original light beer since 1975, and it still hits different.

You know that energy shift when the game gets good, and everybody altogether in unison knows to stand up on their feet? Oh, absolutely, Mike. Yeah, you've been at many big-time sporting events. You know that moment quite well. That's what it's like when you take your first sip of Cuervo. Oh, delicious. It's the signal that says,

we're not checking the time anymore, pal. It's when small talk turns into stuff. Stories. Quervo, man, it's at high five, a random stranger effect. That's right. The game is popping.

fantastic. My wife and I are staying home tonight. We're watching the debate on TV. We're going to do something special for dinner. It's a nice day for me so far. Stugats. That sounds like not a super nice night. The debate. Old people love that shit. Yeah.

That's exactly right. Yeah. That's exactly right. Old people do love that shit. And I'm old now. I can't deny it anymore. This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. I want to continue down this path here with you guys for a second because there were a couple

of things that happened over the weekend that sort of caught fire on on viral moments that are easy to chew on when everything feels out of control everything feels chaotic it feels like there's too much scandal and corruption to keep up with as it's a race for dollars and I don't know if you guys read the Forbes report but Trump's kids you know I don't know Donald Jr. has gone from worth $150 million in the last year I'm going to get some of these numbers. is wrong because I don't have them in front of me, but it's $150 million to like $750 million. Eric, Brandon's a sophomore. They've made hundreds of millions of dollars in the last year. Let's go, Brandon. Yeah, but let's go that guy.

Whoever it is that's the sophomore in college. Barron. Barron. Barron. He's worth 150 million in cryptocurrency because the president of the United States is doing things like taking planes from the Saudis because of how open and obvious. of this stuff is. It was Qatar. So here is some video of Trump after the White House Correspondence dinner talking to Nora O'Donnell and listen to how this goes on 60 minutes. He writes this quote, administration officials, they are targets. And he also wrote this. I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.

What's your reaction? Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would, because you're horrible people. Horrible people. Yeah, he did write that. I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody. Oh, you think he was referring to you? Excuse me.

I'm not a pedophile. You read that crap from some sick person. I got associated with stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated. your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with, let's say, Epstein or other things. But I said to myself, you know, I'll do this interview

and they'll probably, I read the manifesto, you know, as a sick person, but you should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I'm not any of those things. Mr. President, these are the gunman's works. Excuse me. You shouldn't be reading that on 60 minutes. You're a disgrace, but go ahead, let's finish the interview. The idea of the President of the United States at any point in my lifetime being called either of those things in the realm of credibly would have been the scandal of a lifetime.

Can we just shorten that up, though, so I can just hear Nora O'Donnell, because she did newsface here great as if, like, she really had the checkmate move here that made all his words after that totally irrelevant. I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. What's your reaction to that? Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you're horrible people, horrible people. Yeah, he did write that. I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody. Oh, you think, do you think he was referring to you?

Excuse me. I'm not a pedophile. You read that. I forgot traitor, too. I'm sorry. It was just textbook moved to trample and call. somebody nasty. You're a horrible person because you're a news organization reading the manifesto of the shooter that is in the news. It defies logic. Also over the week, and I don't know if you guys

have seen this, but Russell Brand has been making the rounds, and he is accused of sex crimes, and he was on with Pierce Morgan, and he has admitted to having sex with a 16-year-old now and has said that that is something that is age of consent legal, where it is that he was or is in the United Kingdom, but what happened here was unbelievably embarrassing. And I actually thought Pierce Morgan did something that's really hard to do here in television, which is sit in silence. You very rarely hear prolonged silence on television without someone stepping in to fill the noise. And you can absorb the full awkward of this.

It took substantive restraint for someone with the ego of Pierce Morgan to just sit in this silence. Can I go back to asking a question about your Bible? Yes, if you want to. Thank you. Was that the one you took into call? You're the very one. Okay. What was your thinking of taking it into court?

And what you were seeing looking at some passages? What were the relevant passages for you? All right. Thank you for asking me. Thank you. That didn't hurt, did it? A little bit. It was this from Isaiah.

You're right, but I did say, you know, be chilled. Sometimes I lose the chill, man. It's pretty... It's this. They don't like that, do they, in the old gallery, but remember who just said it's a hired spot. This is from Isaiah. Thin pages.

Man, I'm not in a market. I have a little sticky notes or anything. Is he screwing with him? It says here... What more? or something. Bible app on your phone. It's good laying out by here.

The verse that I was looking at that day was not this. I can't actually find the verse that I had that day. But this is good enough. This is from my... He's settled. This is good enough. Russell Brand is one of the quickest, fastest people in the history of entertainment with his mind. And he had nothing.

there for his grift being explored on national television. It's a lot of words in the Bible, Dan. It's a lot of pages. Maybe you guys haven't opened it up. Probably not. So you're trying to find a lot of stuff. Why would you assume that? I got assumptions.

Why would you assume? Why would you assume? What was the last time you opened up a Bible, Dan? Let's be honest. When was the last time he did? Are the pages that thin? They are that thin, by the way. But sometimes you're trying to read something.

You're also on TV. It happens to all of us. I got the original. I got this somewhere. I don't read the... Defend Russell Brand here. I don't read the... Defending the Bible, Jeremy, thank you.

I don't read. That it's long? I mean, people... There's a lot of words. People who love the Bible typically can quote from the Bible, they don't have to look up with the passage. Very true.

They know what the words are. I just quote Heggseth. Is it pronounced Isaiah? I've never heard of... He's British. Famously British. That much we can agree with. I've not...

We do you hear how they say tomato. That. This, the things that are happening, they feel a bit dystopian, do they not, or just stupid in? Like, do they not feel to you like something that when I put for in front of you? No, Kid Rock addressing the Pentagon is totally fine. He gave us a little update on the straight. That was cool.

Well, Kid Rock did the same thing Russell Brand did, because Kid Rock, after his alternate performance where he was accused of lip syncing, he then summoned his DJ in for an emergency appendectomy, from Detroit and they got on the internet and they explained, no, this is what happened, you heard it wrong. Russell Brand did the same thing where he goes on social media. He's got a tremendous following. He has his own audience and he's like,

this is the Bible verse I was looking for. Here it is right here. He got them. And he showed a Bible that had a lot of things circled and underlined and he wasn't able to undo what it is that had happened on Pierce Morgan. It wasn't a possible adjustment to make. Can you guys explain to me?

Because I don't know what happened here, but we played yesterday a clip of, you know, the allegation that Stephen A. Smith is not interested in being great at journalism anymore. He's interested in being great at famous at audience acquisition. Steve Stout is the one who made the accusation on Rich Kleinman's podcast. And I heard, but don't know any of the details around Stephen A. Smith now fighting with all of NASCAR? All? Is it all of NASCAR? Yeah. All of NASCAR basically addressed it this weekend at Talladega. And it's continued.

Stephen A then responded to them doubling down, insulting, great NASCAR driver, Lewis Hamilton. He confused any Hamlin with Lewis Hamilton, saying, you know, one of these trains. that you hear about that sport and other sports like, oh, those guys aren't real athletes, certainly never putting himself through sitting in front of a race, let alone being in a car and knowing the physical demand that it takes over there. But it's good for NASCAR to have Stephen A talking about the sport, even when he's being negative about it, even when he is being super ignorant and not caring. That is decent mainstream attention.

And he's talked often about Michael Jordan. He's had Tyler Redick on the show. They've talked more NASCAR in first take this year than ever. And for him to dismiss you in attention currency, that's not bad. Plus, it's so ridiculous. I mean, you hear that all the time where, oh, look, they're not athletes because the car is doing all the work. And jockeys get the same thing in horse racing. Though horses are doing all the work.

Well, I'm actually insulted by that a little bit because you're worse than Stephen A because I expect more from you. No, drivers, they lose like 10 pounds of race. They had some level of power steering. But I was saying that's not me. I was saying that's the criticism, though. When the Stephen A. Smith say that the drivers are not athletes, what they mean is the car is doing all the work. I would say NASCAR drivers would be offended by you putting jockeys in their category. A jokey is an athlete.

Big time. But not a NASCAR athlete. I don't like I get why someone says that because it's about the car and people just don't know the physical toll. They don't know that your heart rate goes up to like 170 in these races. They don't know that there's no air conditioning. They don't know that while there is some power steering, they are constantly fighting their cars, and that takes a great amount of course string. They don't know these things because there's a lack of education.

They just see a car driving really fast, and they assume it's got the same setup as their sedan. Right. No, but I think you misheard or I misspoke. I'm saying that. What I'm saying is the Stephen A. Smith's, their reasoning would be. be the car is doing all the work. And the guy's just staring. Same with jockeys.

If you don't think a jockey is an athlete who ends a race being exhausted physically, you're wrong. That's not the part that's interesting to me about this, okay? A couple of things are interesting to me about it, including Mike, you know, being grateful the way MMA was grateful when Stephen A. Smith went over there when they were at ESPN because the mainstream is covering us, no matter how ignorantly the mainstream is. covering us, some coverage is better than no coverage, we'll take the fumes of whatever Michael Jordan gives us. This episode is brought to you by FedEx.

Level up your business with FedEx, the new power move. Dan Lebatard. Baker Mayfield tearing up Tampa Bay, 38 for 45. Stugats.

Shredom! This is the Dan LeBatar show with the Stugats. More interesting here to me, I did this once in my career. It was very early in my career. I went out to the Honda Classic and didn't want to cover the Honda Classic. column that I wrote off of the championship winner of the Honda Classic was golf is not a sport, it's a game, and golfers are not athletes. I wrote it because I didn't know anything about golf. That's why I did it. I'm like, how do I make this entertaining? What do I find that is something

that people would want to read if they, like me, don't have any interest in what it is the champion did here? I got in a lot of trouble at the Miami Herald for doing that. Like, They never said hardly anything to me about any columns I wrote about anything. But on that one, I got in trouble because something that is very regionally important here to the people who care the most about that thing, they're insulted with my ignorance. They were insulted, not with that I wasn't respectful of their championship, that I would be so not factual about wanting to celebrate sport that I would go out there and create a contrivance in order to not have to expose my ignorance. Yeah, and the added trouble with that is that you lose credibility because you don't know golf and you're not a golfer, right?

Like if you were, let's say you're a five handicapped golfer, you play golf all the time, and you still don't think golfers or athletes. At least you have that layer of credibility to sing it. Hopefully this ends with Stephen A. writing in a hot lap going 190 miles per hour and screaming, making good television, and it's good attention for NASCAR. and I think that's where it's probably headed. He's an entertainer. He knows two sports. The guy's paid like $40 million, and he talks about two sports with authority,

and everything else is kind of spackling and entertainment, and NASCAR's benefiting from being part of that spackle. They should put AC in the cars. I was wondering that same thing. Slows it down, guys. You can't have a condenser in there and the filters and everything. You've got to have it streamlined, buddy, lean. What if they're races early in the morning,

and their windshields all, like, condensation everywhere? What if they got dancing swords? They got to do something in the car. What do you do? They crap their pants. There you go. Solution. Another problem solved.

I think I've asked that question more of race car drivers than anyone who covers racing. I believe I've asked more than a dozen drivers whether or not they've had to go to the bathroom in the car. They do have these fancy suits that have cooling systems in it with cold water. But oftentimes if you watch a NASCAR race, you'll hear on the broadcast. has like, up, this person's cooling suit has gone down, so he has to do this. He has to raw dog 140 degrees in this car. And the cars are not comfortable either because they're so aerodynamic, because they have to be very light. Go ahead and put it on the pole, though. Should NASCAR drivers have air conditioning and should NASCAR drivers have music in the car, be able to,

you know, play, just play music. Like, the mental drain that those drivers go through is insane because like you're you're the imagine the concentration the angles that you have to navigate you have someone door to door you have your inches away from someone and I had one of these for the first time I put on one of the headsets to listen to what the drivers

listen to. Basically you have to learn a whole new language because I don't I don't understand a GD word that these people are saying over these radios but there is constant communication there is constant input going into their brains I was it was dizzy

I was exhausted. It's funny to hear Mike say that because what he's reminding me of when he says that is when we did freedom 24 hours of content. Mike had a bit of an air traffic control in his headset for 24 hours. And Kate Fagan, a lifelong journalist, took the headset on and put it on. And just from the things being said into those earphones, she took it off so immediately that I thought her ears had been elected. And it was just a bunch of people talking with controls. People have no idea how death-defying focus will drain you in a race, in a race on a race course, where if you make the wrong move, you can be paralyzed, no matter how safe they've made the cars.

I know that these crashes are now safer than they've been because you don't get a ton of death. But what they're doing is spectacularly dangerous that can damage their body with a wrong move for the rest of time. They have, I'm sorry, Chris, they have a millisecond when they know a crash is coming to let go of the wheel. Because if you're holding on to the wheel when you're in one of these crashes going, you know, 150, 60, 70 miles per hour, you'll break your wrist, you'll break your hands. Really? So you have to bring your hands back. Why are you shaking your head? Yes, like you're an expert.

Because I was watching it. He told me about it. All of a sudden. He's in Talladega. They're the Taledaga twins. First off, Zaz, did you see the 24 car pile up? No. Okay.

Well, you know what they did when they zoomed in on the cars? the guy literally went like this like a mummy. He put his hands over his heart. What's your reaction when you're about to get into a car accident? Your body will tense up. Well, if you tense up, you risk even greater injury. So you have to go against your human DNA, basically, and let loose and hope that the equipment has you.

It is funny, the visual, though, of one car driver, just like singing some pop song, like riding along. That's funny. Or listening to the Great Cody Show podcast. That would be awkward. while going 160 miles an hour. Listening at like 1.5? Yeah, it'd be great.

Wouldn't it be great? I think it would be. Sounds like you're doubting your opinion a few seconds after having it the way that you did on the Ruben Bain draft. No, I mean, Denny Hamlin, picture of Denny Hamlin, he's about to, he thinks somebody's going to intentionally spin him out, and all of a sudden he's hearing me on a podcast going, very good. Listen to the Yetty's long-winded question.

Oh, my God. Don't get me started on that. I use scissors every day. have them in the junk drawer. You use scissors every day. That's crazy. No, you don't. You don't have the I use. Every single day.

You have the regular scissors, and then you have to have the kitchen. Oh, the kitchen shears, yeah. Yeah, but my kitchen shears are in where the knives are. They're not in the junk drawer. I have animals, so I have to open up, I have to open up food. I have to feed animals twice a day. Yeah, that's how I open up. Not an outpost man?

Got a can open around there? I am not. I'm not an alpo man, but scissors, put it on the pole at Lebitard show. Do you use scissors every day? And also put on the pole, do scissors go in your junk drawer? Your pets are definitely going to farm to table, right? The meals that your pets are having are certainly better than the meal that I had last night. It's gourmet meat, but no fennel for Sparky.

My wife right now, as we speak, is at the zoo. She's presently at the zoo. Taking animals back to your house? What's going on here? She's a huge animal. You heard. He's got animals at his own. Your dog has a chef.

Well, we have a farm. We have a farm in our home. The zoo is yours. Why does your canine have thoughts on paprika? He is allergic to paprika. It's blueberries and gourmet meat. It's more of a time guy. It's why his coat is so sleek because he is a well-taking care of animal.

These are real things you're saying? Oh, I didn't. have shallots. What about the tape measure? A tape measure it goes in the junk drawer. He wouldn't eat orange the other day. He loves my popcorn, though. There are very few things he's allowed to eat.

He's allowed to eat like four things. I prefer the zested. Thank you. He likes it pecan and crusted. Wow. Pecan and crust. He pronounces it pecancy. They had to feed dogs nuts.

I shouldn't have done that. I should have just lied there and pecan and crusted tilapia is what he That's what he requested. Farm raised or Walcott? This is Dan's dog. I prefer a lightseer on the tilapia. Which is, I mean, let's be honest, it's a poor person's fish.

Bottom feeder at best. We go high grade seven. Farm raised. The whole... With a little cooos-coos on the side. Talopia is a trashy fish. It really is. It's below catfish.

Sea bass, you guys, pecan and crust. It's Chilean. What did you want me to do? I didn't know the fish wouldn't be fancy enough for the dog. Tilapia was just a funny word to me. I'm not a gourmet. If you think I am fancy, you should see the cat. Speaking of sea bass,

Kendrick Perkins has had some thoughts on the heats whale hunting. We keep hearing about them going big fish hunting, but they just keep getting sick. Sea bass. What's that mean? He made me laugh the other day doing the Sports Center hit. He says when he went like they were on their ass like gene pockets. Oh, he was talking about Kyrie.

Yeah. He was on their ass like gene pockets. Sea bass. Seabazz. That's a good fish. It is a good fish. You go to any restaurants, 40, 50, 60 bucks. If it's Chile.

Come here that. Put it on the poll at Lebitard show. Is the tilapia a dirty fish? Chris Cody, the ABS challenge. Thank God. What are you thanking God? Just that we finally got to this topic. I've been wanting to get to this.

Why are you? Because I knew as soon as you said ABS. It's the best ABS challenge of all time last night. Did you guys see this? No. It's at the Reds game. Now the Reds, they give away if they get 11 strikeouts. If the Reds strikeout 11 people, they get free pizza for everybody.

So we're in the ninth inning. They're at 10 strikeouts. The count is 1-2, and then this happens. ABS Challenge power to my team old. Stevenson's 1-1 tonight. Can he win pizza for those in the stands? The crowd ready for. to burst. That's a strike.

Oh my God. That was Cincinnati? Yeah. Cincinnati seems to be like a leg up on everyone else in the majors as far as the ABS. Like they love the ABS challenge system. They're doing a good job there. It's like a World Series crowd. Their team is fun. I don't think people generally understand what the allegiance is to that team. Nothing has made Cincinnati feel as good as a sports team than that baseball team did in the 70s. Like, they're good for the first time in a long time. Aren't they the oldest team?

And their fans have a rooting interest in hope that goes back to their grandparents. Pizza? That's a poor, poor fish. We prefer a flatbread with prosciutto and in some oregano. Extra virgin olive oil. When is Cincinnati ever good at anything in sports? This Ellie Delacruz? Eli De La Cruz?
