You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Don Levertar Show with this Tugat's podcast. So Dan, you saw Hard Knocks yesterday? I did not. We just covered this. We just covered that. Oh, I thought that you did. I thought that you were going to know what I was talking about. I watched this morning because Hard Knocks is usually like a 10 o'clocker and 10 o'clock

in my household does not fly. So I said, you know what, Tuesday shows are going to be a Wednesday show. And then I found out this morning it's a 9 o'clock release, which is very exciting. Important details. Well no, I'm telling you now I'm going to be able to- Is the hour going to change a billy? It does. 9 o' 10? Dude, when you change a billy? It does, 9 to 10? 9 to 10?

Dude, when you get to this phase of your life, 9 to 10 is a huge hour. It's a big hour. It's the witching hour. Mm-hmm. Like, that's the time of activity. Wow, Billy, I think you're just announcing officially to the audience that you are in on old age.

Yeah, I know, I woke up at 5.30 this morning and I watched Heart Knocks, because I thought everyone else was going to and I had to for work and now I realize no one did but me. So. It's different for me. It's like 10 to midnight is my time.

That's when I would have a chance to watch stuff. Cause it's like everyone's asleep. It's like I finally have some alone time. But this is another process in aging. You are right, Billy. You want to get everything, everyone down and sleeping by 9 PM. Oh, by 9 PM.

That's by 9 PM, I'm hoping we don't have like the second wake up. No, everybody's in bed by 7 9 p.m. So that you take 9 p.m. That's by 9 p.m. I'm hoping we don't have the second wake up. No, everybody's in bed by 7.30. Okay, so those are your hours, but the time that Billy gets for Billy. Your wife? The time that Billy gets, not for his marriage, that Billy gets for Billy is between 7.30 p.m. and 10 p.m. The time that Billy gets for Billy is when Billy's pooping.

Yeah. That's the only time Billy gets for Billy. You stay there bonus time, right? Until your legs fall apart. That's where I watched half of Hard Knocks is happening. Yes. Because I know if I'm in the back of it, I close the door.

Shoot there all day, right? Okay, quite the visual. What do we need? Please give us, we have aired and not critiquing, I mean, this is a big deal. Chris, you've been a dolphin fan all your life. This is the most interesting season in 20 years here. And your team is now the featured player.

And are they a fraud? I'm a little nervous that Mike McDaniel's gonna be too zany. Like he's zany enough with the cameras constantly there. I'm worried that it might be a little overkill, but I'm definitely excited about it. He curses a lot. Really? Almost like we don't need to plan it up.

Yeah, we don't need to curse that much. Let's tone it down a little bit, Mike. We don't need to curse that up. Yeah, we don't need to curse that much. Let's tone it down a little bit Mike We don't need to curse that much. He's forcing it. No, there was a lot of f-bombs that I felt like weren't super necessary He's got to be extra football though, doesn't he? No extra football extra football No, the more f words the more f words the more snacks you got you got Rex Ryan shouting f words like that's football Oh, I get what you're saying like he plays it up for them like when he's coaching He has to turn up the football, because people think he's a numbers door and his kind of eccentric. He's weird. How can this little frail guy who's into

fashion be leading all these muscle men? So you have him turning on the Dan Campbell for the players. Just springing in some efforts. So the two of them a little tougher. Yeah. Well, we discover that the dolphins do have a Dan Campbell on their staff. They're linebackers coach. I saw that clip, that guy's cursing a lot. That guy's cursing a lot and he'd, Dan, I don't want to spoil anything for anyone's other, but he let us know.

Aswoping is the international language. You can go to Greece, if someone's whooping ass, you know what's going on. Put it on the pole, Drew, Drew, please. He's right about that. He's aswoping the international language. He is right about that. Would you see somebody getting their ass kicked?

You're like, hey, that guy's getting their ass kicked. Doesn't matter what you speak, that's for all flu. We're all fluent. We're all fluent in that. He also gives out cakes each week to defense for good performances on defense like Steve Aoki full cakes No, not throwing full cakes and from what I saw is like printed images You know how the dolphins have like the elevator that they change like every week with a picture of the dolphins

This guy hands out cakes with pictures of the defenders making good plays on them and they get a full cake Imagine a van Ginkel cake when he told when he told everybody that asked for being was the international language Tyree kill and some others were laughing at him and then they show like a couple scenes later Tyree kill is on in the practice And he's telling us you ask what was the international language every knows which I couldn't figure out is he making fun of his coach Right after I did this stick because either way it was great Which would you vote if you had to guess he was laughing at him So I thought he was making fun of him, then I thought you know what? I think he may have bought it on this. I think it may have worked. Kinda like we did. Like we laughed it first and

then we're like wait a second. He's right. Yeah. Yeah. Well because it's a ridiculous thing to say in a lot of room. It's also true. But it's also true. That's correct. And if you go to Greece and there's some ass being whooped that's right you know it's up right yeah it is true I can't dispute what it is that you guys are saying and that person thrives in the community of football they are seven and three they are on hard knocks Chris Cody is super interested but not quite interested enough to actually what I got I'm getting to it yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks, give it a big hand. Super passionate.

I understand. You're sitting here feeling obligated. You're belching out two God bless footballs in an early, in three days. That's hard to do. And you're finding only toilet time to yourself where you're doing homework, feeling obligated. Because surely in the local hour,

we were going to discuss hard knocks. It seems like for sure a thing. And I didn't want to be the only one left out. But now I know, maybe you don't put so much pressure on myself. You wet the extra mile, man. I'm proud of you. No, we needed it.

Two things a good TV day for me, because right now I had a pretty empty slate on Tuesday. Watch winner house occasionally, but that's sometimes, I watch things usually the day after it happens. So that's what I'm going for. Monday shows become Tuesday shows. Have you finally caught up on the World Series?

Could you believe? Coscus you got injured and they still won like nothing. That was crazy. When did you watch that like last week at 530 in the bathroom? You're just getting caught up. It was a nice mid to mid-November treat. It's got a full classic. If Mike's having trouble with fan width and children and keeping up and travel and you've got two running around now and you've got. I'm good with my child by the way. And God bless the whole of there. You you you you belong swimmingly. You must be in a frenzy and a weekly frenzy that allows you very little television time. Yes. And that television time, if you're going to parse it, the hard knocks has to be earned in the Billy Household, does it not?

Well, I view it as like a business expense, you know what I mean? Like it's now required viewing. I'm gonna have to watch it. That works, I gotta work, honey. Yeah, sonnet and football, gotta watch this one. Mm-hmm. Where'd he come from? Every Sunday.

No, that was just my voice. No, that was not your voice. That's what topics hold. Thank you, I voice. I've got one topic, so. Thank you, I do want to talk to you. Oh, Billy's cooking with gas. I don't want, I want to hear more, do you have any more hard knocks? I'm here.

No, I'm not going to say any more, because you guys haven't said, I don't want to spoil it, because you guys, the audience, probably is the same as that everybody can't watch it. Why don't we make a pact, gang? Let's make a pact. We'll talk about hard knocks every Thursday,

so everybody has a day buffer to catch up. Is that fine? But you're not here on Thursday. Well, not this Thursday also, because it's a thing. This week, it's kind of like Roichoke. This week, it's a Wednesday, because we have things. But Billy's never here on Thursday. Yeah, I'll watch it.

He's doing God bless football on Thursdays with stock about it there, Billy. Okay. Well, why don't we do Friday or I mean Mondays people might want your hard knocks takes maybe you can critique it for us for the show because Chris Cody might not get to it he's not get to it he's such a big dolphins fan that he didn't even watch and forgot that it was on the rewatching the rewatching the Raiders game all 22 you might you might also forget that

they're playing on Friday 3 30 once you get into the beer and your dad's fried, barefoot fried turkey. What is he doing? Barefoot? Is that a question that's ever been asked before? Do you wear shoes around your house? It's a fry a turkey, I'd probably wear shoes. He's in the garage though, fry a turkey.

I think he can't fry a turkey in the garage, by the way. That's also there. He does it just outside the garage. The best part about it is he always puts one cone, like a couple feet away from it as if it's like, stay away. It's just like, for your protection. It is wildly irresponsible.

Your father at any point could get boiling oil all over his bare feet. Well, if you're, you know, he's not dropping it. Like, I actually am with my dad on this. He's a pro's pro. He's not putting in a frozen bird. When you have explosions, it's two things. Your bird is frozen or you drop it like a maniac. He's dropping it slow and his bird's not frozen. He's a pro in a frozen bird when you have explosions. It's two things your bird is frozen or you drop it like a maniac

He's dropping it slow and his birds not frozen. He's a pro anything can happen Oh exactly anything can anything can happen. Yeah, anything can happen when you're cooking your turkey and your oven Yeah, your house could burn down, but it's probably not gonna happen. Yeah, but I'm not having boiling grease Three feet from my foot. You're missing out. He's a pro. I mean Turkey is you just take your time. I'll say nightly by the bear feed ad nothing if he's it's just it's just an added. That's very danger. He would say it's unnecessary to add shoes just for that. I mean, walking around. Thank you, Josh. It's going to

bend down. I mean, safety is. Cushion crushes on social with the feet. No, it doesn't. The talons because he's got those rotten toenails that Stu gots his cut twice. Click on the floor. It's disgusting. No, and they do click on the floor, and it's really wildly unpleasant.

It's such a viral video that this year, he's like, can we get it on the Greg Cody's Twitter account? I don't, like every year it goes on a Levitar show and they get all the views. He was like, yes, he can have it. He's one of the views come in, I'm telling you. Florida, he's maximum Florida manning it by not wearing shoes around boy.

For you, Santa Florida. But I just want to get to what Chris Cody is doing there, which is it seems like you have done very little learning in the life that I have seen from you being a young boy to where it is you are now. But there is a truth in this Cody family. What you have learned is that you cannot drop that, that the only time there are explosions are when you drop it in like a maniac and what was the first time? If it's frozen, and if it's frozen, if people, like if they're frozen Turkey, they don't let it thaw out. That's when it really, you were showing real expertise there.

Anything can happen though. It could tip over. That that's right a number of things can go wrong. Yeah, but you know these fire things are like they're not just like on like a thing where it can it's gonna fall. No one whose house has burned down from a deep fried turkey expected that to happen. You're talking the Billy here Chris, okay? I mean anything can happen. And he wants to have life. Burn down because of a fried turkey either. I mean do I have to say it again? We already just did the two things. I mean, that's just they don't just blow up. It's not like a Tesla. You have to do something wrong for it to blow up. Life lessons from Greg. Why are you so defensive on behalf of I believe it's a bunch of non fried turkey people over here. Tell me how dangerous it is. It's just a non controversial take to say perhaps

you wouldn't want bare feet around boiling oil But dogs away. That's all I mean it's used though or the turkey you're gonna eat sick about the views It's fine you you you can argue on behalf of your father is doing a wise thing here I think it's a losing argument, but you can argue it in defense of love and your father Him being barefoot is an extra Florida man vibe. Those feet are dirty. I've been in that garage. That shit hasn't been cleaned since 1980. It's gross.

Like, it's deeply unpleasant where he's cooking food. Black, the bottom of his foot is black. The hygiene, the hygiene we're talking about there with his talents and everything else is disgusting. Agreed. It's a monster who lives in the swamp of Florida who comes out to cook and drink 12 beers Drink 12 beers and happy Thanksgiving. I hope I my feet aren't covered in boiling oil Let me get those clicks honey my talons my rotten talons need to be out there for everybody

They have to see me do fried turkey buddy puts a cone out it puts a cone one cone one cone Where's the codes of post it's like a foot away from the thing I've just uh hey stay back don't park here. It's for my five-year-old. It's not gonna be funny if he burns one of those feet Well, I did talk a big game now. It almost would be funny. It's no matter tension on it on a smack that I talk now There's pressure on it that driveway goes thankfully downward so the boiling oil Although the boiling oil will spin in the other direction into the gallery it'll spill into the gallery. No we're always uphill. We're always in the garage we don't go downhill. I hope there is rampant fear in that garage around that boiling oil then

you will respect it. You've got to respect the boiling oil and your father's a fool. I know he's taught you very little but what he should have taught you more than all is he's a fool. Like, I know he's taught you very little, but what he should have taught you more than all, is he's a fool. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Put the man can fry a toast. He can, he can fry a toast. He can fry a toast, man.

He can fry a toast, man. He can fry a toast, man. He can fry a toast, man. He can fry a toast, man. He can fry a toast, man. He can fry a toast, man. He can fry a toast, man. He can fry a toast, man.

He can fry a toast, man. He can fry a toast, man. He can fry a toast, man. He can fry a toast, man. He can fry a toast, man. He can fry a toast, man. I'm saying is it could have been prepared with shoes. Gross, yes, dangerous. I'm not so sure. All of us is a couple shoes. That's a really hung up on the shoes here. It's a dirty garage. Chris, you can speak to me. Just outside the garage. When is the last time you? I honestly. Cleanse a garage. No, like the floor. I know you clean the stuff in a garage. Like, you mop your garage. I want to know the last time anything in that garage was cleaned.

It's gotta be, it's gotta be, when did they move in? In the 70s, in the 70s, that garage has not had a washcloth in it. In half a century. All fair. You cannot cook anything in that garage tell it to foot outside the garage burnt boiled oil foot that you now have America rooting for

At the end of our conversation with Alex Smith, and we talked for about 30 minutes, but I feel like nobody is going to remember anything about that conversation other than how you fell

flat at the end with your very last word. Listen to how Stugatts here at the end of this interview says goodbye just exhausted to Alex Smith. That's Stugatts. What happened? Alex? I'm dead. I'm exhausted. I haven't stopped talking in a month.

I mean, I don't know to tell you. This is the Don Lebert Liberty Show with this two cats. [♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪ Billy Uri, odd combination today of a proud and confident and strong, you've been fixing things. You claimed that you could fix the world. You have finally been able to fix your bed, the bed that you fell asleep on, and then it broke, and then you pretended to still be asleep,

hoping your wife didn't hear it so that you could fix it the following morning. Yeah. That bed has now been fixed. You have successfully been a handyman in your home. That is correct. I fixed that bed, and I did great job. If you ask me, it hasn't broken since and it's been almost a week. And you feel good about, are you, someone, I can't fix anything. I feel truly incompetent around my house. My, this stuff was not handed down

and I'm embarrassed. Well, it was quite a surprise, Dan. I'm embarrassed that I can't fix anything. It was fight or flight. I had to sleep on the bed the next day so I had to fix that bed. What is my other option? There's got to be a line though something you will fix come on Yeah, let's find it. Let's find the thing that you will tack. What can you find? I'm right there with you I'm trying to think of the thing that I wouldn't call someone. I mean I have with toilets

Unclogging a toilet not just unclogging but also getting one to practice getting one to flush correctly Yes, Thank you. We jiggle you take the thing off. You've got to keep an waiting back for that opening all his life. I wasn't even looking at him and I just saw how casually he threw and wait a minute. Look the opening I've been waiting for Dan clogs the toilet. Happy Thanksgiving everybody. It's one of the greatest gifts you can give me during this holiday season. I can accuse Dan of really vigorously clogging a toilet. It took us 21 years to get to it. Finally, we have reached 20 yet. It just feels like a tack on a year.

You'll hang a photo. Yeah, but only if you spot me. You need a stud find now. The wire on the back of the frame. You're a man strip guy if I've ever met one. Regardless, is there a story around you're fixing of the bed because you're better at this than I am? I think Roy is the best we've got around here in terms of being able to do things around the house. What do I mean? What was that? What challenge Roy to a homo? Oh well, I like that idea.

I like that idea. I would challenge Roy to I like that idea. Whoa! I would challenge Roy to a home-off. So we break everything in both your homes and you guys have to fix it? No. That's two challenges for Roy this week. My dad also challenged him to a Turk-off. Really? A Turk-off.

His Roy claimed on the Greg Cody show where we did our potluck that his turkeys better than my dad's and my dad's like, no, I'll Turk-off with you anytime you want. We'll Turk each other off. Maybe. Guys, Turk each other off. We'll all taste it. Circle Turk.

Bare feet numb. But it's true. I do have a better turk. The feet are your objection. Yes, I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it. He's going to fry that turkey with those bare feet. No, I'm sorry.

I need for both the home off and the Turk off. One clearly has a better name. I need both of those things to appear on the after the game podcast show before the game with David Dwarf and the Turk off. These things need to appear somewhere to bring traffic to Roy's podcast. There is content around both the home off and remember we're all tasting after the turn off. You mentioned that already. I'm pleasantly. But Billy, you are now a

legend that you think you are better around your home fixing things than Roy is. I thought Roy was our local champion here. I'm not a legend. I know it to be facts. I'm just simply stating the facts that that's the situation You want to know how I fix the bed? I use the book I use no no That's broadcast Couple phone books you put it right underneath the center so it doesn't fall. Things are hard to get in two bucks. Respect things.

They're still making phone books. Back in the day. Okay, of course. Grandpa has phone books. They don't think you stupid. I used the leftover piece of my mailbox wood that I when I installed a mailbox years ago, I had leftover because I don't like to throw things away. So I just had a mailbox post in my shed,

and I cut it, and I'm not a very good cutter with a circular saw. Things don't exactly always work out the way they're supposed, and I got that. You got one. I always got the circular saw game. I always got the circular saw game. I mean, come on.

I think if I needed something done around the house, I would go Billy. Thank you. I feel like Billy would look up the proper thing, and like he would never start the project until he knows the right I would go Billy. Thank you. I don't know why. I feel like Billy would look up the proper thing and like, he would never start the project until he knows the right way to do. I feel like Roy would just be like, I got this wing in it and then midway through,

he'd be like, I screwed this up, now I gotta go back to do this. I'm a measure twice cut once kind of guy. Roy just cuts once. No measuring, I balls it. I mean, I don't have hurricane shutters I have to use plywood and it's thick so. That's how. So that's how that's right. That can't be true What does that do with I would know that is true? No, that's a that's a fairly normal thing. That's all over South Florida

That's not just Roy. Yeah, yeah, you just but that's a hard job You're getting help with that. You're getting help with that. That's not a one-man job What on earth does that have to do with what we're talking about? That's showing off his home skill exactly. Right. That's what we're talking about? That's showing off his home skill exactly right? That's what we're talking about. I mean you're just, I mean that's just something it's really good. Exactly, I could do that. I could do anything.

Geez, I mean if that's, no you can't. I have you, that's what you're talking about. I have done that before. Yeah. I had help for my father-in-law but we didn't. Tag team, maybe. Hurricanes. Hurricanes, shuddering can be difficult.

Of course they can. It's really a piece of wood to cover the window. No, it's not, it's not just for corners. You have to do it into the house and then you have to find actual rights, uh, screws to put it into the plywood. Do the plywood. It's easy. It's the individual shudder. So it's way more time. It's not that easy. You know, I mean, it cuts. You're just drilling. Okay. We are talking to a bunch of people who are good at these things. Okay, so I cannot explain to you. I mean, I don't feel like jumping in the fray,

but I'm also quite good around that. Really? Wow, this whole moth is getting very exciting. I'm done, and guess what? I'll turn you off right now. Whoa! Whoa! What's it gonna taste like?

Like, Roy's is more citrus. My dad's the fried. When he coming out. I go with a little cation bird. Well that's what my dad's fried bird is the cation bird. So I like a little dry rub on my turk off. Hmm. Greg Cody's gonna be here. Greg Cody's gonna be hard to beat here.

What's with you about that? It's turkey off too. Roy's turkey so famous he's not doing it this year. That's why he's gonna be hard to beat. I'll turkey him. I'll beat him. I'll turkey him both off at the same exact time. You're not doing your turkey this year?

I'll try all your turkeys. No, we are going out of town next week, so it wouldn't make much sense for us to have all those leftovers in a refrigerate for a week. That's next week though, I mean. Again, the leftovers in the refrigerator for an entire week untouched. Sounds like a bailout the turquoise.

You're promising a turquoise a year from now as opposed to now. No, no, no, we can do this before Christmas. After the season. You name a date and time and I'll come over there and I'll turn you off. Oh, yeah, me too. I have the next one. My priority called it.

Billy, why can't you send leftovers? I don't understand. You can't do a game today because Thanksgiving is a bar. You can't cook a turquoise. I'm not giving you something to do. He today because thanks giving to Mario you can't cook it. He never does a name on the game. He has no plans on Thanksgiving. He's not cooking on Thanksgiving because he doesn't want to let go.

He is right up there low key with Stu Gods when it comes to excuses. But it's not just excuses. No, I can't do that. I'm going out of town in the spring. What? It's that this would all be very good content for a property that could rock it up

with a hockey chart because. The Turk off. Can't do it. The Turk off with stars. I can't do it because I can't have a home off. I'm trying to give you ideas on how to build up whatever this property is gonna be. Thanks Roy.

And I think us Turk-ing off is absolutely the way to go. All of us at once maybe. All of us at once, maybe. All of us. Yes, I think just gratuitously. Circle turkey. That's what it would be. Make your mind past turkeying off. Yes, David.

Well, one of us has to be the, one of us has to try. So I won't turkey off, but I'll just try all your turk. Enough. Enough. I'm actually not turkeying off this November. Enough. I have to turkey off. Okay, enough.

Once a week at least. I made a pledge. Not Sundays. This is a month to do it. Or Fridays. Billy, build up. How do you go from I successfully fixed my bed? Yeah. To I can now fix the entirety of the world. Well, because I figure, you know, every good journey starts with a step and my step was the bed and I fixed the bed very successfully. And then we were talking about ways the other day and the show is always talking about climate change and all these things we should be worried about and carbon footprint and emissions and all that, right?

So I'm driving and I thought at one point in time, you know what, ways always sends me this way because they want me to not be on the expressway and then I was thinking, I don't know why I was thinking about carbon emissions, but I was like, you know what? I feel like if I was driving on the expressway, I shouldn't be taking my emissions then through like a regular neighborhood. Like it's sending me. I'm ruining this neighborhood for all of these people, right? Then I was thinking, well, what if there's a way that you like encapsulated all of the emissions that people are using on an expressway just in the expressway, you have to drive all of the emissions that people are using on an expressway,

just on the expressway, you have to drive through all those emissions. And then I thought, what if each person lived in an orb and all of their emissions that they created, they had to deal with on their very own? And no one had fresh air, they just lived in their own little bubbles

filled with their own emissions. This is saving the planet. Then we would, yeah, well the planet, so they would die. Let them pay the bill. The people would die yeah, well the planet's dead. So they would die. Let them finish. The people would die as the people that are creating the most dangerous emissions will be the ones that are dying.

You basically have to deal with your own consequences. If you're being kind of like an irresponsible person, your orbs gonna be super dirty. But when I get home, my orbs not gonna be dirty, cause I have a clean orb, you know what I mean? The orb. Greg Cody's garage would be one of the orbs that would be deeply, deeply unclean.

It would also be great to see who's full of it the most. You know what I mean? Emissions that I am. Me! You're looking at me right there. I'm not looking at you. I'm just saying you look out there and you have these people to help. Oh, this is so hard.

You shouldn't be. All this stuff. And they're like, buddy, your orb is gray as hell right now. Yes. You know what I mean? I believe almost every- Not that I want to be orb is, but I'm just saying- Orboth?

Imagine the world then if we all lived in orbs and we just had to deal with our own shit. It's common for the rich people. That's right. Oh, everybody else is gonna be dead. But Joe Buck will be alive. In space, that's right, on a yacht in space in an orb that is very clean.

That is correct. I believe that correctly covers it. I'm not sure how you think this fixes the world, though, Billy. It just seems like- Well, this doesn't get any more missions. You just keep your emissions in your orb. Correct. You don't get it.

You get what you deserve, right? What pose your orb Dan now I'm wondering. It's gonna be unclean in spots. It's't get it. You get what you deserve. What pose you're or a Dan now I'm wondering. It's it's gonna be unclean in spots. It's it's not. It's not. We put up this video. The turkey Greg is standing in his garage. 150%. The turkey's out of the garage.

One fireball. He just got out of the garage. He's out of the garage. We see in that garage. I order the one cone. My orba has some hypocrisy in it. Don Lebatard. Well, you guys building out the a rod bathroom of your imaginations.

Is that what I heard you discussing during the break? Towels with an a on them. You know, the thing you slide the toilet paper on. That's a baseball bat. Hey, like that. Still gots. You think he actually calls it the throne? Probably does.

It's an actual throne. Yeah, an actual throne. An actual throne, please. There's gotta be a full length mirror in there somewhere. I imagine somewhere in his house he has a replica of David, but with his head on it. Ha ha ha ha ha! This is the Don Limita show with this two cats! I don't know if Mike Schurth sees the holidays as a stressful time or a joyful time, I am looking forward to the results of that poll, because I think of Mike Schur as having

a balanced life that has many of the things in it that he wishes for it to have in it. But I also think of him as somebody, who all of a sudden wants his Christmas bonus here at Metal Arc Media and is upping his effort a little bit here where he says he's got five stats of the day. He's been woefully remiss around here for a while. We haven't gotten a stat of the day and I don't know how long just because these

elitists in Hollywood finally stop striking. And now he's back and he's got a bunch of stats and you're just doing this because you're trying to get a better holiday bonus correct that's the c2 dad how are things going you all right i'm a little stressed is everybody expects a holiday bonus is that true to people actually want them yes i'll take one yes what you mean is that true to people actually want them we have. I'll take one. Yes, what do you mean? Is that true? Do people actually want them?

Well, yeah, of course it's true. I don't want a holiday bonus. I want to be released for my contract. I want the opposite of a holiday bonus. Fire me and use the money that you don't pay me to pay your employees a holiday bonus. We do pay you money. You give it to Ron McGill. I hate that you say this. We pay you for these services. You are not an unpaid intern. Metal Arc Media does not have unpaid interns. That's not true. All I know is I have exactly the same money in my bank account as I did before. I started working for you.

That's all I know. Because you're giving away regardless. Well, that's not our fault that feel the dreams flopped. Oh, God damn. That hell, man. It's a holidays coming at me with that. Before we get to the five stats of the day roi bellamy thank you for joining me in old person hood roi has tweeted from his account a breaking

Mike, I'm glad I got that response out of my throat. I don't like cereal at first. No, I know. Nobody, but Tony and Chris don't have any idea what we're talking about. Say it as in so.

Go ahead. Give us your first stat of the day. I'll give you a clap. There we go. All right. Here's the stat of the day. You ready? Yep.

It's from codify baseball. Not counting batters who were intentionally watched. Greg Maddox faced 8,025 batters during the 95-03 seasons. The total pitches to those batters that were called balls, 8,06, less than one ball per batter over nine seasons. No way. That can't be right. They're just thinking of the next time they have to clap.

Let him get Man-Eater here. Let him get man-eater cute up by dialing number three so that you have the music that you need Yes, the music I need that's right segment needs a little booing the stats aren't strong enough by themselves It needs some entertainment behind it that stat wasn't strong enough for you. It's an amazing stat. I didn't hear it clapping was strong We were jamming out. We didn't hear it amazing stuff. I didn't hear it. Clapping was strong. We were jamming out. We didn't hear it.

All right, you ready? Yes. Wait for the sacks, I guess. You can wait for it. Have you never heard, Man Eater? I can barely hear Man Eater right now. You requested Man Eater. We're doing the sacks here. We're doing the sax here. We're easing in it. We're easing in a little bit of lubrication before things Escalate to the most central of like looks like he's playing the saxophone into his phone. That's right You can go now But but when you got to be where you got to hit your dismount so that man eaters I can't barely hear the song, Dan. It's not fair. Just deliver the set So that man eaters Last night all right layout last night

I don't know if any of you saw that game. Yeah, it's nine points garden that game He's great 716 and 5. He's great. He's according to a mean the last hope for point guards in this month watching him 3716 and 5 with 9 3s is only one other person's ever had that game. It was James Harden New Year's Eve 2016 against the next. If you toss in his three steals, no one's ever had that game. Hold on. Now, Chris Cody, you're out. You went with a whirly.

With a whirly. Get out. Get out. You're out. Why is Tony still here? Tony, you clamped at the wrong time. You're not supposed to be here either. That was such a fun game.

I wish all of basketball was like that. It was amazing. It's the highest over undersons 1995, entering that game. I, yes, I saw before the game. How was this over 250? How is this number over 250 and they went over 300? Because the Pacer score 140 points a game. They're good, they're legit good.

They're two teams on a thing with 37 if 76 from three. That's almost 50% on 76 attempts. God bless them. So fun, that team's sneaky good. Not even sneaky good. Well, not just sneaky good, if I tell you now, what do you want to trade young or Haliburton? And you're like, ah, Haliburton.

I kind of want Haliburton. Oh, Haliburton by far. I know, but that's easy. That's changed over the last 18 months. I'm gonna say. Haliburton's're like, I got one Halliburton. Oh Halliburton by far. I know, but that's changed over the last 18 months I'm gonna say. Halliburton's becoming one of the best players. Yes, in the league. He's wonderful, his range is ridiculous. Yeah, he's got incredible potential still.

He's an amazing player. Do you want to do another song or do you want to peter out here because it's just you, me and Mike. Well, you said you had five sets. How many more? That's so really. I've got a couple more if you want them.

By the way, you know, instead of a stat, can I give you a theory? Well, this isn't the theory of the day. Sure, I mean, we are in the Sacks Breakdown, so go for it. My new theory is that the Steelers and the Miami-Header spiritual cousins, they both, they're often stinks for both teams.

They're constantly outplayed. There's like a narrative for each of them. Their culture is that they're different and better and tougher than everybody else. They win every game by three points and no one can figure out how. And they've only had like, and they've only had like four coaches in their history.

Yeah, yeah. The dealers are the heat of the NFL and vice versa in the NBA. That's my theory Jude you put it on the pole please at Levitard show are the Steelers and Miami Heat Spiritual cousins Mike do you want to try a third? I don't know if another hauling out song is gonna hold up I don't think of I think of hauling notes is having those two and I know they have more but they weren't they weren't offered on that phone line. That's not one of the options. Why are we doing this on a day when they're like, they're like, doing each other? What? This is so sad. Well, because they're doing each other and that's a, so you know, some things are better left unsaid. Give us a final stat of the day. We have missed you. Congratulations on finally getting back to work.

My final set of the day is just a list. It's just a list of wide receivers. Do you want to hear it? Yes. Bethel Johnson, PK Sam, Chad Jackson, Matthew Slater, Brandon Tate, Taylor Price, Jeremy Ebert, Josh Boyce, Aaron Dobson, Jeremy Galen, Devon Lucian, Malcolm Mitchell, Braxton Barrios, Nikhil Harry, Trainix and Antiquan Thorne. These are all wide receiver draft picks by Bill Belichack. That's correct, since 2003. Just your thoughts, because Mina, Pavel and I talked about this for a while the other day, we've got less than a minute left.

But as a fan of Boston stuff and excellence, your ideas around Belichick might be fired are? By the way, I left out Julie Nattleman just because it made my list better. I think the answer here, which I haven't heard anyone say, I'm sure someone has said this, I haven't heard anyone say it.

If you could fire Belichick as a a GM and keep Miss a coach, you would do it, right? That his problem is not coaching. He held Tyree Kild to like 40 yards. He still is a very good defensive coach. You just can't at this point, you can't keep him as a coach and fire him as GM. If you did that, he would quit, which maybe is what they'll do. Maybe they'll say they want to bring in a GM and get him to quit. But that's the answer. It's his main problem in my opinion is that he's whipped on like 10 straight drafts and he's gotten a little unlucky with injuries on defense.

But other than that, I would still keep him as a coach. He just can't draft people anymore. He can never be able to draft wide receivers. He's never a straight touch. We're not draft. See you later. Good senior. I can't go for that. Bye. No can't do.
