                                         It's the perfect place to get away.
                                         
                                         See you in Buffalo.com. This is the Dunlambator Show with the Stugat's Podcast.
                                         
                                         I've been told by Chris Cody that Yeti Blank, one of the producers on the Greg Cody show
                                         
                                         featuring Greg Cody has produced two songs, one about O and one about day, we will get to those at some point during
                                         
                                         the show.
                                         
                                         But I owe Greg Cody an apology at the top of this segment because what he said while
                                         
                                         his lady was laced with something, it was not very warm, his lady was laced with something.
                                         
                                         Who cares lady?
                                         
    
                                         It was not.
                                         
                                         It did not rise to the level of sexism
                                         
                                         it was simply and obviously total ignorance he had no idea who l was what her name was
                                         
                                         and so he just simply dismissed her with a lady because he didn't know who she was so
                                         
                                         you're taking the l i am taking the yellow. Wow. I am. That's a priority right there.
                                         
                                         I am taking the public L, but something that happened here that I was not expecting, and
                                         
                                         perhaps I should expect it in the modern age to God.
                                         
                                         I honestly was caught off guard, and it's hard in 2023 to be surprised that anything gets weaponized along political lines.
                                         
    
                                         But I was legitimately stunned
                                         
                                         that Travis Kelsey dating Taylor Swift
                                         
                                         became a thing where people took sides
                                         
                                         and now Travis Kelsey is the symbol for something that is too woke or not man enough.
                                         
                                         Shit stain starts the conversation as he often does by and there is money to be made and being a professional asshole now.
                                         
                                         I've told you this before there is a lane out there if you want to be a professional asshole and say that Travis Kelsey doesn't have a penis,
                                         
                                         he is not a real man.
                                         
                                         That guy doing that for a living, it becomes Travis Kelsey is doing Bud Light and COVID shot
                                         
    
                                         commercials.
                                         
                                         He needs to fire all his marketing agents or he needs to just go ahead and cut off his
                                         
                                         dick, become a chicken and dorshtrow Biden.
                                         
                                         And that is a language that he is speaking to his customer base and clientele.
                                         
                                         And then Tim Miller comes back with MAGA mindset because we fight about everything.
                                         
                                         Winning the Super Bowl, getting paid to Shield Beer and getting it on with the most famous
                                         
                                         woman in the world, gay, beta, being a fat slob who tweets his feelings about celebrities,
                                         
                                         masculine, alpha.
                                         
    
                                         How is it that at 54 years old, having witnessed what is happening in this country and on
                                         
                                         the globe for the last seven years that I'm still surprised that somebody can always find
                                         
                                         the lane to create a division that's necessary to get clicks on both sides of this?
                                         
                                         How do I get into the Travis Kelsey Taylor Swift
                                         
                                         conversation by throwing a politics bomb in it or a gender bomb in it or a race bomb in it?
                                         
                                         Are any of you surprised by this? Because I was surprised that this became that. I thought two
                                         
                                         people could date quietly without Travis Kelsey becoming a symbol that gets weaponized.
                                         
                                         I didn't have that one happening here.
                                         
    
                                         It's not surprising when anything Taylor Swift gets weaponized this way, particularly because
                                         
                                         in the last few years she went from country music star to pop music star.
                                         
                                         She eased her politics more toward the left at the same time or at
                                         
                                         least became public about those and so Taylor Swift becomes this sort of public enemy
                                         
                                         in this case and when you have Travis Kelsey is perfect public enemy number one when there's
                                         
                                         all these women coming into the fan base of football masculine men.
                                         
                                         It's just interesting to me that Clay Travis would decide now is the time that trans women
                                         
                                         are actually women.
                                         
    
                                         I actually not to say his name goes to the penalty box.
                                         
                                         Oh, I forgot.
                                         
                                         You forget, huh, man?
                                         
                                         That's a great point.
                                         
                                         Wow.
                                         
                                         I don't care about the great point.
                                         
                                         Oh, it was good.
                                         
                                         Shit, Stain.
                                         
    
                                         Why don't you call him by what I said you should call him by
                                         
                                         because you don't have not allowed to curse.
                                         
                                         I won't.
                                         
                                         Stain.
                                         
                                         Had he played?
                                         
                                         Pain.
                                         
                                         Stugots, I don't know whether you saw this or not, but there was a good old-fashioned
                                         
                                         sports radio fight. Really? Yes. Those have gone by the wayside. They really have. In fact, They are a bit endangered.
                                         
    
                                         You can imagine on AM radio in 2023,
                                         
                                         that there aren't a lot of fights in sports as entertainment that are making their way
                                         
                                         into all of the streaming content
                                         
                                         that is competing for attention.
                                         
                                         There's only three markets that are still doing it
                                         
                                         at a high level.
                                         
                                         New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, it has to be one of those three, a Boston, a sorry floor.
                                         
                                         So it has to be one of those cities, right?

                                         markets ever?
                                         
                                         It will never die.
                                         
                                         As long as there's WIP and Howard Eskin, as long as there's WFA and as long as there's WIP and Howard Askin, as long as there's WFAN, as long as there's
                                         
                                         WEEI, the sports debate in those cities will never, ever die.
                                         
                                         Doesn't hit the same in Milwaukee.
                                         
                                         No, I don't know what cares about Milwaukee.
                                         
                                         I mean, seriously, about anything.
                                         
    
                                         So an hour from Chicago, no one cares about anything, but Chicago, they care about every
                                         
                                         year.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                         I mean, the fight's going on right now about Justin Fields and this Iber Flus every. Oh yeah, I mean the fights going on right
                                         
                                         now about Justin Fields and this Iber Fluska. I mean, geez. People from outside Milwaukee
                                         
                                         love to be like, oh, we're from Chicago land too. They don't even claim Milwaukee. Fields
                                         
                                         doesn't have it. I'm telling you, he holds the rock too long. Let's go. We call it a rock
                                         
                                         in football to WFA and Let's go to this is Joe
                                         
    
                                         Benigno. This is a great name. He looks like sports radio. Joe B
                                         
                                         He is wearing just so that you know, he's got a jet Jersey behind him
                                         
                                         He's got a jet cap on he's got a sweatshirt that says New York and
                                         
                                         Tiki Barbers trying to out New York him by also having a sweatshirt on it that says New York and Tiki Barbers trying to out New York him by also having
                                         
                                         a sweatshirt on it that says New York, but those are Yankee colors that Tiki Barber
                                         
                                         Giants colors that Tiki Barbers wear.
                                         
                                         The yetz jersey that Joe B has behind him is Don Maynards.
                                         
                                         That's right.
                                         
    
                                         Just so that you know, Benigno is older than Greg Cody.
                                         
                                         He looks like he's older than Don Maynard.
                                         
                                         I hope so.
                                         
                                         He looks like he's older.
                                         
                                         Let's play this clip here of Vanigno and Tiki Barber arguing about how much of a
                                         
                                         Jets fan Tiki Barber actually is.
                                         
                                         Well, so you can process what are we talking about?
                                         
                                         I'm not.
                                         
    
                                         You know, you hit it on the head.
                                         
                                         That's the difference.
                                         
                                         The Niners dumped the number one draft choice after a year and a half of two years,
                                         
                                         because they knew he couldn't play.
                                         
                                         Bingo.
                                         
                                         And my team couldn't continue.
                                         
                                         No, it's not that they knew he could play.
                                         
                                         You would love to see the Jets go two and 15, stop it.
                                         
    
                                         You're a giant.
                                         
                                         I do not.
                                         
                                         I do not.
                                         
                                         I do not see. I love you. You're a giant. If this was a situation with the giants, you'd be screaming
                                         
                                         to get Wilson the hell out of this of all. So don't give me this nonsense. I never scream
                                         
                                         because I watch and I analyze it. Okay, well, you can analyze all that. But I try to find
                                         
                                         reasons why I know is this yesterday you were in Washington with the commanders and the bills, okay? Were you not?
                                         
                                         I was.
                                         
    
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         So don't give me this nonsense how you're analyzing Zach Wilson, okay?
                                         
                                         I don't want to hear it.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         It's BS.
                                         
                                         All right, so,
                                         
                                         he's good.
                                         
                                         I'll turn my mic off, buddy.
                                         
    
                                         He's staying.
                                         
                                         No, no, but here's what I know that frustrates me related to a point you just made.
                                         
                                         Mike White has thrown for 300 yards in four games in Zach Wilson
                                         
                                         ever had ever. And what's frustrating is, yes, Zach Wilson was taken high. And yes,
                                         
                                         guys are pulled back and taken later.
                                         
                                         Tiki Barber threw the headsets at the microphone and stormed off. Professional. He's just mad
                                         
                                         because Michael Strahan took all of the jobs that Tiki
                                         
                                         Barbara was supposed to have. And now he is just sitting next to, did I pronounce his name
                                         
    
                                         right Joe Benigno? Did I pronounce him? Joe Beningo. So there are three ends in his name
                                         
                                         and three finds. Yes. Wow. He is one year older than me, by the way. Thank God.
                                         
                                         Joe B. Yeah. Domainer. He's a few years. Yeah. He's got me by a few, I believe. I'd have to look
                                         
                                         that up. That is quintessential New York sports radio. So is this by the way. This is Mike
                                         
                                         Francesca Stugat. This is this is before the draft. Okay. This is sound of Mike Francesca
                                         
                                         before the draft on Zach Wilson. Right. The chance the judge with the second pick you think they can take the kid from
                                         
                                         b.w.i.u. or not
                                         
                                         absolutely don't i'll fall off the chair
                                         
    
                                         he is absolutely going second and the judge don't take him
                                         
                                         i i you know what
                                         
                                         yet fans should should just mail a ticket back if they don't they don't take
                                         
                                         are you love all you love them that much you love them that much i think he's
                                         
                                         clearly the second
                                         
                                         player. I love, I love the
                                         
                                         Clemson quarterback. I love Lawrence.
                                         
                                         I think he's going to be a top
                                         
    
                                         player. I think that kid at BYU
                                         
                                         is really good at Wilson
                                         
                                         to a superb player. I think he's
                                         
                                         going to be a very good player. I think
                                         
                                         that's where they should go. Now
                                         
                                         let's listen to Mike Fran Cessa
                                         
                                         after Zach Wilson's last football game.
                                         
                                         Listen, this is just reality. Zach Wilson can't win right now. I don't know if he's ever going to be able to win.
                                         
    
                                         to be able to win. And you can't play this quarterback. He can't play. He can't play. He is a terrible. He's not bad. He is a terrible quarterback. He is pass bad. He leaves bad behind. I can think of a lot of bad quarterbacks who I would
                                         
                                         take in a second over him. He doesn't have a clue because he is not a detriment. He is
                                         
                                         a complete zero. Why is he talking like that? Was there a waterfall behind him?
                                         
                                         Was he from, was he in a, not a big waterfall?
                                         
                                         Not like Niagara, but just a cascading small regional living room like, like that one.
                                         
                                         Yes. Like a sad you would hear on an app or something.
                                         
                                         Sounds like old school AM radio.
                                         
                                         Woody is weeping somewhere. That made me sad.
                                         
    
                                         He used to be so loud and sharp and that just didn't seem like that.
                                         
                                         Like I feel like age is catching up.
                                         
                                         Plus fastball.
                                         
                                         Yeah, the Pope may have lost it.
                                         
                                         Whoa, whoa, you almost caught me to say it.
                                         
                                         I can't believe you've even ventured anywhere near it.
                                         
                                         You loved bothering Francesca.
                                         
                                         You loved when people would call.
                                         
    
                                         Your favorite thing about Francesca is the last 10 years of callers calling just to bother him
                                         
                                         and then watch him on the skyscraper,
                                         
                                         like King Kong, just swatting at helicopters with his annoyance.
                                         
                                         Correct.
                                         
                                         I mean, is that not everyone's favorite part of that?
                                         
                                         I would actually listen sometimes on a nap to WFA
                                         
                                         and driving home for like over an hour just to hear
                                         
                                         if I got to that life.
                                         
    
                                         Because obviously everyone follows like the Twitter account where you just get the clips.
                                         
                                         But like, I wanted to feel like I was experiencing it
                                         
                                         and seeing how out of the blue they would come.
                                         
                                         And woof, that's some serious force radio talk
                                         
                                         the rest of the time.
                                         
                                         But Billy, it's gonna, all of it's gonna die
                                         
                                         unless Tiki Barber and Beningo keep it alive
                                         
                                         by fighting and throwing their heads at microphones.
                                         
    
                                         All of it will, it's already endangered.
                                         
                                         Beningo was just a guest. I mean, Tiki's the host of the show. It would have been great
                                         
                                         if FAM replaced Tiki the very next day would strangle him.
                                         
                                         Or me.
                                         
                                         After review, the call on the Isis, a whole new season of NHL action with Skip.

                                         with Greg Cody Bow
                                         
                                         How often are you bowling, Greg Cody?
                                         
                                         Wednesday nights, I'm in my first league since
                                         
                                         the 1980s. Believe it or not, since before Christopher was born.
                                         
                                         The hamstring has gotten better. Are you someone who, for the 80s?
                                         
                                         I would imagine you bowl about 130s, 140s, not much high.
                                         
                                         Wow, I bowleded 179 last week.
                                         
                                         I was pretty proud of that.
                                         
    
                                         Nice.
                                         
                                         Great.
                                         
                                         Average, you pretty much nailed it.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         But again, I haven't bolded in more than, you know, whatever, 40 years.
                                         
                                         So, you know, we're coming around.
                                         
                                         We're getting our game back.
                                         
                                         I don't like this, by the way.
                                         
    
                                         Chris Cody started a team and he needed people on his team and his dad came in to kind
                                         
                                         of bail him out and tries to bowl on his team.
                                         
                                         And all Christopher does is criticize him and how he bowls all I said was that, like,
                                         
                                         nailed his average.
                                         
                                         That's exactly what he averages.
                                         
                                         What does Batman have to do with this?
                                         
                                         Yeah, seriously.
                                         
                                         Batman has never seen me bowl.
                                         
    
                                         No, I'm coming around, man.
                                         
                                         I'm coming around.
                                         
                                         I'm confident now on the seven and 10 pins, which I didn't used to be to pick up a spare,
                                         
                                         single pin spares can be intimidating,
                                         
                                         like three big cuts.
                                         
                                         And, you know, we're coming around.
                                         
                                         We're gaining control.
                                         
                                         We love our new ball.
                                         
    
                                         You know, thank you, the guy who drilled my ball,
                                         
                                         whose name I can't remember.
                                         
                                         No, not important.
                                         
                                         Used to play on the PBA tour.
                                         
                                         I'll think of it and get back to Robert.
                                         
                                         Rob Commito.
                                         
                                         Thank you, Rob Commito from Scalius.
                                         
                                         You are given an acceptance speech for an average score of one for a new ball.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Well, we're great balls.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Perfect ball.
                                         
                                         Love my ball.
                                         
                                         He's back to it.
                                         
                                         Put it on the poll, please, at LeBetard show, Ju-ju.
                                         
                                         Are you likely to get any better at bowling after 67?
                                         
    
                                         No, you will.
                                         
                                         Believe me, I'm still getting there.
                                         
                                         You stop going for speed and more for accuracy, right?
                                         
                                         Yeah, right.
                                         
                                         I throw like a 13, 14 mile an hour ball,
                                         
                                         which is not fast.
                                         
                                         I have a 15 pound ball now,
                                         
                                         which is a little bit heavy.
                                         
    
                                         That's heavy, yeah.
                                         
                                         Andy is my ball.
                                         
                                         And Andy's a little heavy for me,
                                         
                                         but I'm getting used to that.
                                         
                                         I'm getting used to that.
                                         
                                         And I'm getting good pin action now,
                                         
                                         because I throw a slower ball,
                                         
                                         I need a heavier ball to get that scatter,
                                         
    
                                         to get that pin action.
                                         
                                         Bowlers out there, you all know what I'm talking about.
                                         
                                         So we're loving it.
                                         
                                         I talk a lot on the latest podcast,
                                         
                                         episode of The Greg Cody Show. I talk about lot on on the latest podcast episode of the Greg Cody show
                                         
                                         I talk about how infatuated I am with bowling the whole atmosphere the sound of the pins
                                         
                                         the caricature of the bowling lanes
                                         
                                         All the characters in the house. It's a magical magical thing. Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to miss Wednesday nights
                                         
    
                                         Oh, no, because I'll be at the inner Miami US Open
                                         
                                         We're gonna tell the coach that. I was not. No. How do we land on Andy?
                                         
                                         Andy is just a it's a fun name. You know, I I wanted to, you know, it's a male
                                         
                                         ball. And so I wanted a name that was fun loving. You know, I've already used
                                         
                                         Charlie for jumping Charlie my dog. And I wanted to I think it was probably
                                         
                                         harking back to to the Andy Griffith infatuation of my youth. So Opie sounded
                                         
                                         kind of dumb to name a bowling ball. So I need to stop. Yeah, no,
                                         
                                         forgive me, forgive me, forgive me, because everyone slowed down. I want more,
                                         
    
                                         I want more Andy, but Stephen A Smith is putting together his top five NFL list.
                                         
                                         Oh boy.
                                         
                                         Stephen A's list and Stephen's A list.
                                         
                                         Thank you.
                                         
                                         It's a fine time.
                                         
                                         Sometimes it becomes Mad Dog's A list and it gets a little confusing when we lose the
                                         
                                         plot, but this is Stephen's A list and we're at the top five NFL teams.
                                         
                                         For those of you just joining us.
                                         
    
                                         Thank you, Billy, for getting us up to speed.
                                         
                                         Number five is the Chiefs.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         For as the bills.
                                         
                                         Number three is the Eagles.
                                         
                                         I like what it's the standard.
                                         
                                         If he puts the 49ers, number two, I think you know who's going number one.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah.
                                         
    
                                         Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                         If he puts the dolphins, number two, I think we know who's going number one.
                                         
                                         Talk dirty, do me, Steven.

                                         Why was this one such a disaster? Because Iowa played. That's why I flew all the way to
                                         
                                         Pennsylvania, which by the way, state college impossible place to get to. The worst.
                                         
                                         We had to stay two hours away. Two hours away.
                                         
                                         So we get up right in the early, we're like,
                                         
                                         we're going to drive there.
                                         
                                         All right, vibes are high.
                                         
                                         Actually, they weren't that high.
                                         
                                         My dad and I in the car, we were like, hey, at what point do we leave?
                                         
    
                                         Wow.
                                         
                                         What score is bad enough that we go?
                                         
                                         That's how little faith we had.
                                         
                                         But part of me deep down was like, you know what?
                                         
                                         I will get a defensive touchdown.
                                         
                                         They'll do it.
                                         
                                         They do that all the time.
                                         
                                         That's our best scoring unit.
                                         
    
                                         Oh my God.
                                         
                                         We get there.
                                         
                                         It's 40 degrees in raining.
                                         
                                         It's freezing.
                                         
                                         And it's not like casually raining.
                                         
                                         It's not sprinkling.
                                         
                                         It's pouring rain.
                                         
                                         So all right, the weather's bad.
                                         
    
                                         The vibe's bad.
                                         
                                         It's supposed to be wide out this really cool tradition.
                                         
                                         It wasn't that cool.
                                         
                                         It was just all the people wearing the same color.
                                         
                                         It wasn't that nice.
                                         
                                         And then the Penn State fans, they were so nice to us
                                         
                                         walking into the stadium.
                                         
                                         They were so nice.
                                         
    
                                         And I said, this is weird.
                                         
                                         Something about this doesn't feel right.
                                         
                                         The second we walked in there, they're so mean.
                                         
                                         I was actually scared.
                                         
                                         For the first time in my life, I walked into a stadium
                                         
                                         and I was like, someone might do something.
                                         
                                         Like, I shouldn't be wearing all this Iowa stuff.
                                         
                                         Then it didn't matter.
                                         
    
                                         It didn't matter because Iowa had 76 yards of offense.
                                         
                                         Your team scored 70 points.
                                         
                                         We had six more yards of offense
                                         
                                         than you guys had points.
                                         
                                         You got them.
                                         
                                         Four first downs.
                                         
                                         I didn't even see half of them.
                                         
                                         Four fumbles.
                                         
    
                                         I'm broken and I'm sad.
                                         
                                         And who was singing Sweet Caroline?
                                         
                                         Oh my God, we were trying to leave.
                                         
                                         It was, I was down like, I think it was like 27 or something.
                                         
                                         We're like, you know what?
                                         
                                         This just isn't gonna work out.
                                         
                                         Let's go.
                                         
                                         And we tried to leave and all the Penn State fans stood
                                         
    
                                         in the aisles and they blocked us
                                         
                                         and they sang Sweet Caroline.
                                         
                                         And it was miserable.
                                         
                                         And the worst part is there were some nice
                                         
                                         Penn State fans who were like, hey, it's not that bad.
                                         
                                         Somebody will get fired because of this.
                                         
                                         No, they won't.
                                         
                                         No one is ever gonna get fired ever.
                                         
    
                                         And then in Kirk Ferenc's little press conference
                                         
                                         after the game, he was like,
                                         
                                         I'm not gonna change anything just because of one bad game.
                                         
                                         One bad game, I was one 31 out of 133 in total offense.
                                         
                                         And so many, I can't.
                                         
                                         Who are those two other offenses?
                                         
                                         I think it's like New Mexico or something.
                                         
                                         And it's so bad.
                                         
    
                                         And our offense is tracking to be worse than last year.
                                         
                                         I didn't know that was possible.
                                         
                                         I didn't know that was allowed.
                                         
                                         We had, I will say, positive.
                                         
                                         Our punter looked phenomenal.
                                         
                                         Oh, wow.
                                         
                                         He's always out there.
                                         
                                         It's great Taylor.
                                         
    
                                         He is the best player on the field.
                                         
                                         It was the worst, the worst.
                                         
                                         We Caroline is bad under most circumstances. People shouting.
                                         
                                         Oh.
                                         
                                         Shouting it at you as a cheer. That's how they were doing.
                                         
                                         They were taunting you with it.
                                         
                                         They taunted us the whole game and they were not.
                                         
                                         Oh, no.
                                         
    
                                         No.
                                         
                                         Terrible.
                                         
                                         I'm kidding.
                                         
                                         Terrible.
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         I imagine that's on playing at the gates of hell.
                                         
                                         No, that's what it felt like.
                                         
                                         And also Penn State after every play plays the stupid little cat growl that's on playing at the gates of hell. No, that's what it felt like. And also Penn State after every play plays
                                         
    
                                         the stupid little cat growl that's so annoying.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         So annoying.
                                         
                                         The whole thing was bad.
                                         
                                         And I hate the fairances.

                                         I hate them.
                                         
                                         When it began.
                                         
    
                                         No.
                                         
                                         No, please don't.
                                         
                                         Yes, yes, close this out with the dark night

                                         And the spring turned to cuss shit
                                         
                                         Got you

                                         No!
                                         
                                         No!
                                         
                                         So I first came to Edward Jones with a great deal of trepidation.
                                         
                                         When I first met with my advisor and I really was feeling vulnerable about what I would have to share,
                                         
                                         I was, of course, pleasantly surprised to find that there was absolutely no judgment
                                         
    
                                         and a lot of support.
                                         
                                         And when it was time to get serious,
                                         
                                         he really took my hand and helped me to do that.

                                         As the name of a bowling ball, put it on the pole, please,
                                         
                                         Juju, at Lebitard's show.
                                         
                                         Do you know anybody in the world that you think would
                                         
                                         name their bowling ball? Andy, do you also put this on the pole? Do you name your bowling
                                         
                                         ball at Levitard Show? Well, so your bowling ball has a place to put your name on it, right?
                                         
                                         You could. So to say, your name or does it say Andy? I don't have my bowling ball is brand new.
                                         
                                         I've only used it three or four times and I haven't had it
                                         
    
                                         inscribed with a name. So, you know, when you do though,
                                         
                                         Gregor Andy, I think it would say Andy.
                                         
                                         Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
                                         
                                         Makes sense.
                                         
                                         I just set it on the 15 pounder.
                                         
                                         Heavy. My bowling guy Rob suggested that I normally use a 14 pound ball.
                                         
                                         And, you know, to me, psychologically,
                                         
                                         one pound more is heavy.
                                         
    
                                         You know, it's just I would notice it.
                                         
                                         But he could tell just by the way I was handling it
                                         
                                         that it wasn't too heavy.
                                         
                                         Really?
                                         
                                         Really?
                                         
                                         And it's helped.
                                         
                                         So, you know, Andy has come through for me.
                                         
                                         The good thing about having a bowling ball named after you
                                         
    
                                         is that when I'm up there and my routine,
                                         
                                         I'm not for you.
                                         
                                         It's your name, the after you.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah, but having a, I'm up there in my routine.
                                         
                                         And once the wall, if I really need a mark,
                                         
                                         I'm gonna say, come on, Andy.
                                         
                                         Right.
                                         
                                         You know, and nobody hears it, but he.
                                         
    
                                         Talk to the ball.
                                         
                                         Yeah, nobody else hears it.
                                         
                                         You know, so it's like, yeah, a good boy.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's like our little thing.
                                         
                                         And sometimes the ball will talk to you.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you. Yeah, I got your back
                                         
                                         That type of thing and then I roll a gutter ball. No, but I don't do that. I'm better than that
                                         
                                         So it's fun. I'm loving bowling
                                         
    
                                         Like I never thought I would I heard bowling had died every Wednesday night the lanes are full
                                         
                                         It's like I'm in, Times Square, the pageantry, the color of the...
                                         
                                         You're most sorry you're not in Times Square. I am in Times Square.
                                         
                                         You should go to my podcast and hear me rapsodize about bowling because nobody loves bowling.
                                         
                                         I'd love to hear back in my day on bowling. Do you have a back in my day today?
                                         
                                         I don't. No. Oh, yes. quality control. Yeah, it's a it's a
                                         
                                         mental health maintenance week. Yeah. So I didn't over-exert myself with that.
                                         
                                         But you're right, bowling might might not be a bad idea. I thought it would be
                                         
    
                                         endangered. I don't imagine bowling being as popular as it was in the 1980s.
                                         
                                         But I might have that wrong. We mentioned earlier last week, we mentioned that Miami doesn't have many bowling alleys
                                         
                                         anymore.
                                         
                                         I used to have more bowling alleys.
                                         
                                         I don't think of it as a flourishing business.
                                         
                                         Do you?
                                         
                                         Why are you looking at me that way?
                                         
                                         I think bowling alleys had their best year ever last year.
                                         
    
                                         I'll look it up.
                                         
                                         I'll check it out.
                                         
                                         But I'm pretty certain that bowling's never been more popular.
                                         
                                         Well, that's not true.
                                         
                                         But also there's more than one like there because you now have
                                         
                                         like the bowling where you can glow in the dark at malls and stuff like that.
                                         
                                         Like you have a traditional bowling alley and bird bowl.
                                         
                                         Don Carter's kind of lanes closed unfortunately.
                                         
    
                                         RIP that one was a big one, Greg.
                                         
                                         I don't know how you feel about Don and Paula Carter.
                                         
                                         Of course.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Ledge into the game very much so that one you would walk in and there was I'd say a good
                                         
                                         49 lanes on each side
                                         
                                         Yeah, there's a two-sided bowling lane. Oh, yeah, they have it mecca the heyday of bowling was probably in the 80s and
                                         
                                         One it just gave you a small example in Broward County
                                         
    
                                         They used to be somewhere in the neighborhood of of 35 38 bowling lanes now. I think it's down to like six
                                         
                                         One of which I bowled at every Wednesday
                                         
                                         night. I'm not going to name the alley because I don't have an endorsement deal with them.
                                         
                                         Strikers, but time square. That's right. But Andy likes it. He likes the lanes and who
                                         
                                         am I to argue? Right. Could you see bowling going the way kind of of a tennis where pickle
                                         
                                         balls shorten the court? Maybe you shorten the lanes a little bit. You have maybe a shorter
                                         
                                         lane bowling type thing.
                                         
                                         Have a catch on again.
                                         
    
                                         You know, in New England, they candle pin bowl.
                                         
                                         Really?
                                         
                                         Yeah, the candle pin.
                                         
                                         I love it.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's green or the main.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's smaller balls.
                                         
                                         Smaller balls and smaller pins.
                                         
                                         Hence the name candle pin.
                                         
    
                                         I've tried it once or twice.
                                         
                                         I don't get it.
                                         
                                         I don't get where it's better.
                                         
                                         But bowling's not even bowling anymore.
                                         
                                         You know, nowadays, the old fashioned three-fingered ball,
                                         
                                         like I still use, it's the thing of the past.
                                         
                                         Now it's two-fingered balls.
                                         
                                         Everybody's like throwing the ball.
                                         
    
                                         How many goals does Andy have?
                                         
                                         Three.
                                         
                                         We're a traditional.
                                         
                                         Good ballers use two-fingered balls.
                                         
                                         There's two hands nowadays.
                                         
                                         No, I say I reject that.
                                         
                                         I reject that.

                                         have taken a turn.

                                         And I think Sioux Gots is trying to take everyone here
                                         
                                         for an idiot because there is something very different today
                                         
                                         about Sioux Gots.
                                         
                                         And I'd like to give you guys some evidence.
                                         
                                         Studio team, can you please put up the sill
                                         
    
                                         from yesterday's God Bless football? Great show.
                                         
                                         Hosted by Sugots and the Duke Billy Gill.
                                         
                                         If you see Sugots' face there, you'll see someone that's been aging rapidly since
                                         
                                         dead and company got back together, but you'll see on his face,
                                         
                                         a lot of salt.
                                         
                                         A lot of grain.
                                         
                                         Not that much pepper.
                                         
                                         Now let's couple that with today's shot of Sugots.
                                         
    
                                         And you'll see right here on sector three on the face
                                         
                                         There is a bit of a difference. I'm gonna walk in there and point out exactly what I'm seeing
                                         
                                         I am accusing Sue Godson of dying the beer
                                         
                                         He's been texting me about this the entire show you look great. You look great. You look great
                                         
                                         You're also waiting the exact same clothes yesterday. No look at it
                                         
                                         That's the black one. This is the blue one right here. What's your right here? Yeah, there is something going on
                                         
                                         Do the other side of the stage. Yes, you got turn your head please look at the camera. There you go
                                         
                                         Yeah, show us. Oh, oh, it looks good the other way
                                         
    
                                         Okay, look at your face in the wrong way again somehow. I see it though. I see it. No the other wrong way
                                         
                                         Okay, so is he willing to cop to it or what is happening here?
                                         
                                         Does look for you. Obviously does look a good deal darker there.
                                         
                                         And Carlos Booz are right there.
                                         
                                         Maybe a small for cigarettes. That's what it is.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         So you're accusing him of both dying and lying.
                                         
                                         Well, that's what I do.
                                         
    
                                         Admit it. I'm not going to admit it.
                                         
                                         All right, I'll tell you what happened.
                                         
                                         I was in makeup this morning.
                                         
                                         Now, yesterday, there was a different makeup person in here, right?
                                         
                                         Named?
                                         
                                         I don't remember.
                                         
                                         Oh, Billy.
                                         
                                         Wow, you did that, Billy.
                                         
    
                                         Make something up.
                                         
                                         Dan you, Billy.
                                         
                                         Andy.
                                         
                                         Wasn't Andy.
                                         
                                         Oh,
                                         
                                         Lucy. It was not Lucy. That was like seven makeup people. Wasn't Andy. Oh, no.
                                         
                                         Lucio.
                                         
                                         It was not Lucio.
                                         
    
                                         That was like seven makeup people.
                                         
                                         I miss Lucio.
                                         
                                         But anyway, the makeup person, Myra.
                                         
                                         The makeup person today, okay?
                                         
                                         I didn't ask for it.
                                         
                                         I didn't ask for any of this.
                                         
                                         All the sudden, I have brushes, I have foams, I have stuff on my beard that I didn't
                                         
                                         ask for. Now, I think it looks better today stuff on my beard that I didn't ask for.
                                         
    
                                         Now, I think it looks better today than it did yesterday.
                                         
                                         So she did a great job, but I didn't ask for any of this, but Mike is right.
                                         
                                         I mean, sector three looks totally different, but you're blaming Julie.
                                         
                                         I got blaming anyone.
                                         
                                         Her name's Julia.
                                         
                                         That's a five.
                                         
                                         Yeah, Julia was yesterday.

                                         Referring to the correct name of yesterday's makeup art. Well, that was yesterday. We were
                                         
                                         trying to talk about the final deal. In detail, what su gots look like yesterday. He looks totally different today.
                                         
                                         Second or four.
                                         
                                         Second or four is okay.
                                         
                                         There's, I mean, everything looks alright,
                                         
                                         but you have the fat Joe line going,
                                         
    
                                         which is it's just way too strong.
                                         
                                         It provides such a contrast that the moment I saw you this morning,
                                         
                                         I was like, something's off.
                                         
                                         Something's off.
                                         
                                         It took me two segments.
                                         
                                         So kudos, but I'm on
                                         
                                         you. Kudos to who? Either Jessier, Julia. Congratulations, Stugat, for being exposed and immediately
                                         
                                         bearing someone else, blaming someone else. I'm not blaming. I said she did a good job. I mean, yeah, but she didn't
                                         
    
                                         because you were just exposed by an IT investigation. And did she suggest to you like how did if she
                                         
                                         did not, she just did it. Listen, Dan, when I sit down in a makeup chair, okay, they're artists.
                                         
                                         And I don't question them. Whatever they think I need, I just let them do whatever they think I need to make, because
                                         
                                         I know what they're trying to do.
                                         
                                         They're trying to do the impossible, which is to make me look good.
                                         
                                         And so whatever she tells me I need every single morning, I just tell her, hey, do what you
                                         
                                         got to do.
                                         
                                         Don't ask me any questions.
                                         
    
                                         I'm good.
                                         
                                         I wanted to go back for a second here something on something's to God said I didn't get to yesterday.
                                         
                                         It was funny watching in the Cleveland Tennessee game, the way that the Titans were sending
                                         
                                         to tight ends in motion, wherever it is that Miles Garrett moved, like Miles Garrett would
                                         
                                         be on the left side and then he would go run to the right side.
                                         
                                         He's always moving around.
                                         
                                         No, but and then they would just take both tight ends because it doesn't matter again.
                                         
                                         His strength is remarkable.
                                         
    
                                         He just leans into you and you cannot block him.
                                         
                                         He keeps going forward with his body leverage.
                                         
                                         Even with that strategy, I'm pretty sure he set a career high in three and a half
                                         
                                         sucks that game.
                                         
                                         It is not a stoppable thing.
                                         
                                         Him and Micah Parsons, But I wanted to use that as segue
                                         
                                         to the back and forth between Tyree Kill and Micah Parsons.
                                         
                                         They play on Christmas Day, Tyree Kill
                                         
    
                                         keeps, doesn't like being called a baby lion
                                         
                                         and keeps saying that he's going to hit Micah Parsons
                                         
                                         and Micah Parsons really isn't having any of that.
                                         
                                         I just wanna take a second on my guy, Tyree Kill,
                                         
                                         say he's the lion and he said he got something for me coming off the edge, hold on, wait a minute Tyrick.
                                         
                                         Wait a minute Tyrick.
                                         
                                         I'm letting you know there's a big difference between me
                                         
                                         and those other guys that you coming off the edge with,
                                         
    
                                         I'll listen Tyrick, if you come over my way
                                         
                                         and I see you coming my way, I'm sending you to the tent.
                                         
                                         I'm sending you to the sideline, you gonna say,
                                         
                                         hey coach, I want nothing to do
                                         
                                         with my proportions.
                                         
                                         You don't wanna do that.
                                         
                                         Hey, I already said it once and I said on social media,
                                         
                                         my baby girl's getting cheetah print for Christmas.
                                         
    
                                         She's getting cheetah print.
                                         
                                         Come over here to my side and with my baby girl's getting

                                         impact. All love, but I'm going to put you in the tent.

                                         injury tent and also you're the best wide receiver in the game.
                                         
                                         That was a real shit sandwich of compliments in the middle of a with a threat right there.
