I would have loved that.
Still time.
Sweet Chin music.
Greg Cody, I have for your display,
you did not know that this was coming,
but because you have not been involved enough
in the show right now, I had especially curated
for this moment a Greg Cody Wheel of Topics. Is there a name for this wheel,
the wheel that we have commissioned to have made? Is there a name that you would have it have as
the wheel of just your choice? It's totally about you, your narcissisms, and it will be subject
matter of your choice. But should it have a name? Would you like anything to name it? Wheel of Good Fortune?
Okay. Spitballing, no bad ideas, no bad ideas.
We'll do it.
Here are the topics on the Greg Cody Wheel of Good Fortune.
He has an objection to the name mini camp.
He has the take that he is bored with someone's dominance.
He has Aaron Rodgers takes,
and he has that championship rings
have become an embarrassment.
Wow.
And he wants to also talk about how good of a soup
he can make because he's the originator of Soup of the Day.
Thank you.
So let's spin the wheel,
and Greg, you tell me what it is.
The plan's on.
Good work, Executive Producer.
You've had an inconsistent day today.
That wasn't there, that's GQ's fault.
I mean, this button thing is just messing with me. Okay, very good
What did it land on there Greg I
Have to read what it landed on
Don't we have a Vanna white here who know what it landed? What did it land on? I think it landed on
What did it land? what do you mean do you
think take a look take a look at the board I was looking in the wrong
direction over there now I see wheels it's confusing yeah no I see it no let
me talk a second about Aaron Rodgers if you
that's what I mean Aaron Rodgers that's why I say I'm gonna talk for a second about Aaron Rodgers but what did it land on Aaron Yeah, that's what I mean. Aaron Rodgers. That's why I say I'm going to talk for a second about Aaron Rodgers.
But what did it land on?
Aaron Rodgers.
Smooth.
I don't think it landed on Aaron Rodgers.
I think it landed on ice.
It's one of those spin again ones where it landed right on the big o' gas.
What a waste of time that is.
Have you ever been in a radio promotion?
Why do you have a spin again thing?
What?
Yeah, I don't get that either.
Who's this for?
You want a 790 shirt?
Have it. Give me the bumper sticker. Take a chick. So what did it land on? I don't get that. Who says four? You want a 790 shirt? Have it buddy.
Give me the bumper sticker. Take a chick.
So what did it land on?
I don't have my glasses on. I can't see it.
We're gonna do a respin?
It said spin again.
What did it land on, Greg? What did it land on?
It landed on Aaron Rodgers.
Okay!
We're twice in a row apparently.
Alright, take it away.
Okay, this is so weird.
Aaron Rodgers can't not be weird, okay?
He got married a couple of weeks ago, and he refuses to reveal the identity of his wife.
I don't understand that.
What is he hiding?
Privacy?
What?
Privacy?
Did they get married in private?
He probably feels like a target right now.
By who?
Who's targeting him?
Okay, whoever he thinks is targeting the radical left
What is he David Sampson?
He's targeting him. No, I was guaranteed miles Garrett
That's fair. You know what's amazing about what miles Garrett did is that would indeed be death and murder but not targeting
It went it probably would if that the targeting part would be, the putting him in the graveyard part, not really.
So I'm the only one who thinks Aaron Rodgers
getting married and not refusing to reveal
the name of his wife is weird?
I'm not gonna give him what he wants.
Greg, come with me, let's have some coffee.
All right, if you follow the Pat McAfee show,
about a month and a half ago, it was very clear
that Aaron Rodgers was getting married.
They tried to be coy with it, not a strength of A.J. Hawks.
Just straight up, subtlety, not a strength.
So it was very clear that Aaron Rodgers
had had something in his personal life happen.
And it was one of those things like,
let me be secretive so you talk about it more.
That was the perception anyways.
I'm not gonna undercut Aaron Rodgers.
He feels plenty of tech. I'm not gonna do that.
Happy, as someone that read his book with his own ears,
that he has found someone to be a life partner with him.
That's great stuff.
But everything around it is like,
it's him joshing the media again
in his Aaron Rodgers fashion.
Okay.
I mean, it's possible that he just doesn't,
or she or he, whomever he's with,
is not interested in that attention.
And to the degree that he can turn that down on them,
maybe he's just being a good partner.
I'm not going to just criticize Aaron Rodgers
for every last thing.
If he found love through complicated family relationships
that Ian O'Connor wrote about and Mike listened to,
wrote about, thoroughly reported, Listened listened and listened to. That book will tell
you that he is trying to be introspective, he is trying alternative
ways, and he has a lot of broken relationships in his life, and he has
found himself now with somebody. And you can listen to Danica Patrick about what
being in a relationship with him was, and you can also want your privacy in this moment
because I'm guessing that Aaron Rodgers whether he is a victim or not it feels
under attack and anyone he loves he wouldn't want anywhere near everything
that comes with that so if there's not one picture of her him anybody out there
I understand why he would want his privacy there.
Who would he want to subject to that?
I love how liberal this show is.
Like, we're respecting our Roger, her, him.
I'm like, what are you, he's probably like, what?
What?
I saw someone say that this statement that he gave
was essentially going, yeah, I was matrimonized.
Happy for him though.
He seems like a complicated dude.
He also doesn't seem like- That didn't feel sincere. No, he- Happy for him though. He seems like a complicated dude. He also doesn't seem like...
That didn't feel sincere. Happy for him though, kind of bored.
Well, he's the only person that read the book with his ears. I mean, people don't talk enough about his charitable works.
He does like that being talked about in the open. He does a lot of good work behind the scenes, as public and front-facing as he is.
It'd be good for his brand for people to know what a good guy he is, philanthropically speaking.
Is it really that liberal we go her-him?
Wouldn't we have to include more variety?
Yeah, the non-binary folks.
I don't think that we're being super liberal.
I think we're being respectful
because a man chose to keep it private,
so obviously we're leaving the door open
to everything, every possibility.
I think the liberal aspect here is refusing to say that it's weird that he refuses to
say who his wife is.
No, I dig privacy.
Go for it.
Just, Greg, do you feel entitled to being in his every business, or?
I feel entitled as someone who is talking about a very, very public figure.
I think if I'm-
But he is, not she, or he or okay but but she married into a jordan
hudson's ordered party dated uh...
bill belichick
yet that whatever
uh... no i'm happy for good go for it but i i i think since you're happy for
okay really doesn't feel that this is such a different i'm happy for a
budget-free really is causing toilet paper and feel whatever out there
but it's not, I mean, it's just, I mean, at least the motion ever put into that phrase.
Look, it's not.
Let me tell ya, I don't think he's gonna be bad
as quarterback either.
Saying good things about them, man.
I don't think he's gonna be a bad fit for the Steelers.
I think he's exactly what they need.
And we're happy for him.
And the Steelers are exactly what he needs.
And whatever.
And I hope he found us in his partner.
Whatever, what's my favorite?
The general stubbornness in the complicated relationship
this show has had with Aaron Rodgers over,
yeah, we'll read books about you, dude.
We're desperate to understand you.
Oh, that's all there is?
Okay.
Let's get out there, we're happy.
But we're happy for you.
Super.
We're happy you found love.
Love, love.
No, and whatever.
Whatever.
It's the way, we're happy happy you found love whatever is not happiness
It's why we're not invited to the show your misunderstanding the whatever the whatever is
I know things are different from back in my day, but I want to make it clear
Do you do you do you I do I am happy for him
I think it's the funniest thing in the world
that this is probably the most LGBTQ inclusive conversation
we've ever had and it's over the idea
of a make believe partner for Aaron Rodgers.
That's offensive to Dan.
I don't blame Jeremy at all.
He's been smothered for two and a half hours.
He did mention alphabet model once.
Two and a half years.
Well, okay, thank you.
Good correction, Jeremy. Don
LeBretard. Quiet man yes you know I'm a married man I don't cheat on my wife
despite that gratuitous line in back in my day. Stugats. I wish you were here my
wife I really miss her. No I don't that's the thing about being married you know
you're not allowed to say I don't miss miss my wife. I've been gone two days.
I haven't been gone long enough to miss my wife.
I'm sorry.
I call her, I'm on the phone with her for 30 seconds.
You know, what am I, hello, all right.
All right, we'll see ya.
All right, and then, you know, I'm gonna see her in two days.
How's jumping Charlie?
Good.
This is the Don LeBattar Show with the Stoogats.
The thing that is happening right now
that I keep wanting to get back to, but I guess
we might end up at the Cody wheel again, is what is happening in California, what is happening
in Los Angeles.
Never mind the optics of it, the optics of it are horrifying enough.
The reality of what is happening there with peaceful protests and what feels like state
militia being rubber-bulleting about just basic American freedoms because we are now
going for whiter nation.
Look, Dominique, we talk about David Sampson talks about he's not a fearful person and
then gives us a litany of fears. I don't
think I betray a confidence when I say that Dominique is extending his trip in
South Florida a couple days longer than he would like because what is happening
in Washington right now feels like it's not a welcoming place for him this
weekend. Yeah it's gonna be a lot of traffic I'm messing with it. Or whatever.
Or whatever. Or whatever.
I wanna talk about what is happening in Los Angeles,
but it gets a little bit uncomfortable around here
when we politicize during happy sports times.
Like I've made that change on behalf of the audience
because the people who came with us sort of understand,
okay, there's not a lot of left leaning stuff
in this space anymore.
Like we identify as one of the things in sports that is that at a time that it's more popular
with young white adults to not be that as the country moves toward Trump.
And as Miami becomes this weird place where a whole bunch of Hispanics who are really
grateful for being in this country, some of them, many of them Cuban, I'm surrounded now, have helped
bring this thing that feels like state militia to Los Angeles where there are peaceful protests
and we can hide under the semantics argument of, well of course illegal people who are
here committing crimes shouldn't be here, but that doesn't mean you should make all
brown people and black people that like of course everyone can agree yes
Illegal criminals in this country yes get them out of here, but wait a minute who gets to decide
What's illegal and criminal when you're just gonna violate the Supreme Court and the end democracy and the Constitution?
And everything else in the name of now you've got an armed militia that says every protest is dangerous, even the peaceful ones, and you can frame it that way because the people are brown.
And there's a purposeful blurring of the lines and moving of the goalposts. So this began with
violent criminals who are here as illegal immigrants and we are going to target specifically
people with a violent criminal record. Then it became any criminal record at all. Now it's just become show up at Home Depot and grab as many people as you can and then we'll
figure out after whether they're American citizens, whether they have documentation.
This continues to move in a direction that is horrifyingly similar to all of the other fascist dictatorships that we've seen
across the last hundred years at least because it's following the exact same
textbook which is if people are even peacefully protesting against you you
send in your militia your military to to cause havoc, to cause fear, to incite violence.
Sending in military personnel to a city
is not there to deescalate.
They're not trained to deescalate.
They're trained for war zones.
And that's what you're turning any of these,
any of these protests into when you add a national guard
that's protecting ICE as they're grabbing anyone
and everyone, including story after story
of US citizens being detained for hours on end
separated from their family.
This is only going the direction that, by the way,
they laid out for us right from the beginning.
And we here and a lot of other people tried to warn about but yet
we watched a ton of people even within our own community Dan that supported
this that advocated for this and that's the part that is is frustrating in that
regard but this is a use of of the military against our own people if this
was happening and and I know that we do these
theoreticals all the time, but if this was happening in any other country, we
would be looking at that as one of the most horrifying things that could
possibly happen. The rest of the world doesn't understand how America is good
with this. And America is often judged when things like this happen in other
parts of the world, and sometimes have even justified wars for it. I don't want to get into the politics of it. I know Dan said peaceful
protests and I know from conversations that I've had with people that are
Trumpers, they're gonna say what's peaceful about lighting a car on fire and
they're just gonna be reinforced by their algo. So let's what I sit back and
marvel at is how this is not even what he really campaigned on and the ability to just keep moving with the
goalpost as they move. Trump himself said in 2020 you don't do this kind of move you have to be
requested by the governor and by all accounts this was drafted before there was even a protest because
of the way that it was framed. So I'm just trying to follow.
Are we for states' rights or are we against it? Because when it comes to education, when it comes
to gun laws, when it comes to a woman's right to choose and what happens with her body, we lean on
states' rights a lot. In fact, are you a Second Amendment person or not? Because the Second Amendment
is about making sure that civilian militias can be armed in the event that the government weaponizes its
military forces against its own people. Yet you're siding with the government
here. There is a huge abuse of unchecked power that is going on right now and you
can counteract it by just holding up what Donald Trump said in 2020. So I'm
really confused and I'm also disheartened by,
we already know how far they're gonna push this.
We're the law and order party,
yet we'll pardon everybody that rioted on January 6th
and actually hurt people.
There was a cop that died on January 7th,
who was with a chemical agent,
and his death was ruled in the line of duty.
We'll pardon anybody that is associated with that
because it placated to your vision what you deem was right. It helped your
agenda. It's not about violence. It's not about peaceful protests. In fact, yesterday
Donald Trump was in the Oval Office and maybe people want to rationalize what he
said. He didn't say rioters. With the expectation of protesters coming to his
military parade, his cosplaying fascist parade birthday, and the 250th
anniversary of the armed forces, he said that protesters will be met with strong opposition.
That's not rioters. These are people exercising their constitutional right. And I'm so confused
as a party that had a Tea Party movement that was holding up the Constitution
is actively supporting something that subverts that very Constitution.
I think that it's really hard when you're always on your back foot trying to argue against and
pointing out hypocrisy. So rarely do you win an argument by explaining to somebody why they're wrong,
which like I think it feels like the right thing to do. And we all have hypocrisies,
but I do think that competing vision is the only way
that you can kind of pull whatever potential
that we have going forward.
And I also think that it's a reminder,
and this is a loose sports tie,
but I spend most of my professional life,
the most meaningful things I think I've done professionally
has been with sports unions.
And I know this doesn't feel like
a direct tie, but it reminds me that when you are at a union, you have to fight
that to force the league to follow the rules that are there, even when it
appears that you're defending someone who has likely done something wrong.
Because the rules and due process are there for a reason.
And I think that's what we find oftentimes
in these political situations,
or these more important social and political situations,
is that if it's not happening to you,
many of us find trap door where we're like,
okay, violating their due process is fine,
because to Jeremy's point, it started with people
who they said were violent criminals.
Even violent criminals, you must force the government
to abide by due process because once you open
that trap door, you can't then close it.
And that's the most frustrating part,
or scary part I guess, is, and we're all most frustrating part, or scary part, I guess,
and we're all guilty of it, where you find yourself in like, all right, if someone came
into your house and took away a family member of yours, you'd be in the street.
They are doing it.
I'm not absolving myself.
It is happening.
We ain't in the street.
OK, I would just say to you just more personally if it sounds like
sermonizing to you the way things are going growing up in a childhood that is
exiles fleeing a place where they had money to get to freedom in their teens
without family assurances that they would be here and they respect and love this
country and are grateful for this country. I don't know the way things are going. They
were not born in this country. If there is a scenario that can arrive that has my father
and mother not allowed to be here anymore. And I can't rule it out presently given that
I'm early in this administration. And what was promised to me in Project 2025 is this is exactly how you handle
peaceful protests and this is exactly how it is that you circumvent what feels like American democracy to make sure that
the others never unite like a union you can always make them the others and you'll always have the
white people on your side as you will do allow South African people
into this country.
That might've changed with some tweets.
Right, but trying to make this country whiter
in a way that's overt, that is political,
that is hateful, and allows you to keep the right
to make all people other than you criminals
based on whatever you make the laws that criminalize them,
including just being brown, not having a license,
or being a criminal because you're just like
all those other dirty Mexican racists or rapists
that we had to build a wall to keep out.
I would feel duped if I voted for him
because he distanced himself from Project 25.
He said, I don't know these people.
No.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, come on.
Donald Trump lied?
He said, I don't know these people. So there Oh, come on. Donald Trump lied? He said, I don't know these people.
So there's a lot of key parts in the platform
he's enacted after he took office
that is not stuff that candidate Trump campaigned on.
It wasn't, we weren't talking about Canada.
We weren't even talking about the Gulf of America.
You touched on tariffs.
We didn't know to the extent
that we'd be starting a trade war.
You talked about the department education loosely,
but everything that was detailed in Project 25, you expressly told me, that is not me.
I have nothing to do with that.
And then you almost follow it to a T.
This is why I respect Mike Ryan's Marshaian take.
Because this is, sports is a great place for these conversations because nowhere else will
you attach so much of your identity to something that no matter what happens,
you believe that that thing is right?
How many times have you seen a bad call in the game
and you're like, well, it's a good call,
and you fight to the death.
It feels very similar where so many people
have attached so much of their identity
to a particular person in party and movement
that it feels as though there's nothing
that that team could do that could make you feel like,
ah, maybe I'm not a fan anymore.
But Mike, we all should be more like Mike Ryan
because Marchand.
That's not a good idea.
No matter what, Marchand does.
Marchand.
Bad Marchand.
No matter what, Brett, Marchand.
No, I think if you take a lesson,
it's not the Marchand thing
because I'm very clearly being pigheaded there
And I'm holding sticking to my guns that I just don't like him as a person
No, no, I'm saying that he joined your team garbage
I'm saying he joined your team you join my team some people would once they join the team like oh, then he's good
You're like no, I have integrity. Mm-hmm. This is a bad guy. No matter what team is on
I think it's a dangerous time because look if something really bad happens at one of these protests
You're gonna have an algorithm on the other side
that's gonna justify an irrational killing, potentially.
And that's what I'm scared of because it's different now.
It's much easier to refuse to admit that you're wrong.
It's much easier to never capitulate
because you can find something on the internet.
And daily, get that reinforced with your algorithm
that says, no, no, no, you're actually right about this.
He's got a great campaign slogan for you here be like mike kennett mitch is wrong kennett
mitch likes right likes to be really right this is my favorite while billy wednesday
this is not not an echo chamber marsha. I also don't like viewing things
through the prism of Republican and Democrat
because yeah, I'll support liberal causes
because they seem to represent the opposition,
but for me, something is clear is
this is an unprecedented power grab from the highest office.
If you claim to be a constitutionalist,
like you told me for eight years,
then why aren't you upholding the Constitution?
This is a threat on that very Constitution
that you held up.
You're a tea partier.
What is this?
We have a king now?
And I just view it as right and wrong.
I don't view it as right or left.
Well, and for what it's worth,
Democrats had their opportunity when in power
to start defunding ICE,
and if anything, they only expanded
the amount of resources going toward this type of behavior.
But it wasn't until the second administration with Donald Trump and more importantly, Stephen
Miller, behind all of this, Stephen Miller, who his ultimate and for lack of a better
term, his final solution is deporting 4% of this country and completely destroying the
economy, completely destroying the fabric of this country and completely destroying the economy, completely destroying
the fabric of this country because that's what they want.
What fascists want is everyone to suffer outside of them as they accrue power.
And for those who look at this so black and white as well, they're illegal immigrants,
they're criminals.
You know what the criminality of being an undocumented immigrant is? It's akin to a parking ticket. It's not an actual
criminal offense in the way that everyone is making it like it's murder. It's no different.
If you can't look at this imagery, everything that you're seeing right now is people are
being round up in the streets. If you're just someone who doesn't understand because these
are people who are different than you and maybe this wouldn't happen to you in your life. This
is no different than if you and all of the people that you worked with, there were several
people with outstanding parking tickets. And so ICE came into your office and just rounded
as many people up as they thought looked like they might have outstanding parking tickets
and then arrested all the ones who did and eventually released the others. That's
the level of criminality that we're talking about.
Not an echo chain.
And there's also a common misnomer and very effectively and the Dems to their
failure have leaned in on this. Dems are not pro-illegal immigrants. They don't
want the illegals in this country. That is a majority opinion.
And much like the trans issues in sports, conservatives are very effective in campaigning
and framing them as such, and there's no good rebuttal. But in a lot of these cases, TPS,
that's not something that is very well understood. There's plenty of Venezuelans and Cubans that
went through a full legal process to be in this country legally. And with one executive order, overnight they became illegals
and now are being rounded up. And all you're getting fed from your Fox News and your outgoes
is they're here illegally and you're going to get buy-in. Yeah, get those illegals out here.
You guys would agree with me that I've had no reason to fear more than right now in the entirety of my lifetime that there is the even remote possibility that my
parents will have to die on the island they fled.
I mean they're citizens. But it's not an it's not yeah but for now I can understand
I can understand the fear. For now. It's likelier than ever. Yeah I mean they've
Donald Trump has said that deporting citizens to other countries is something that yeah
We're gonna look at that. So I understand. I'm just saying we're just starting with this
It's it's just the it's just the beginning Chris Cody. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Merchant it's a good time for the Marshawns of the world.
I'd like to check his papers.
They've got a state militia.
Marshawn.
Don Lebatard.
I heard that as a woman faking pain.
I didn't think that sounded real.
I really didn't, you know.
It was not fake.
It was in no way fake.
You can spot a woman faking it.
Stugatz.
Yes, I can, Jess.
Expert.
I've been married 40 years.
This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats!
Man, those don't tread on me people.
It just became a please tread on me daddy.
Well, you say that, but Mike Ryan today for some reason burst into the room saying, threatening
of all places, F1.
Yeah, F1.
With tread lightly.
Hey, F1, FU.
Did you see what they're doing?
You see what they're doing?
The greatest motor sports day ever
is when you got Monaco in the morning,
the Indy 500 in the afternoon,
and the Coca-Cola 600 in the evening with NASCAR.
You get all three major motor sports all in one day. You see what these guys are doing over at Formula One?
Formula One is trying to switch the calendar
so you get the Canadian Grand Prix the same weekend
as the Indy 500.
They're coming to North America
and trying to take our crowd.
This is dangerous.
Let me tell you something, Formula One.
Formula One, you are a Netflix documentary away,
a cancellation away from being a funny car.
I've seen the numbers in this country.
You ain't Formula One in this country.
You're not even Formula Two, Jack.
And I've seen the Xfinity Series ratings on the CW.
You're not even third oftentimes.
Your ratings in this country?
I saw the Miami Grand Prix,
you got outrated by the cousin
f**ker 400 on FS1, all right?
Do not come to this continent
and try to take the Indy 500 away from us.
There were 350,000 people at that motor speedway.
There were seven million people watching at home, Jack.
You can't even crack a million.
You're not coming across the pond
and taking our motor sports weekend.
It's gonna blow up in your fucking face.
Thank you, Mike. Thank you.
John Forrest has more charisma in his teeth
than your drivers have in their entire little bodies.
Yes, he is so right about this.
And Bill Burr does a great routine
where he says that white people,
when they can go around the world,
then say to anyone,
what did we invent?
What's ours?
Stock cars.
Not your big fancy things, not your things
with the big engines that cost millions and millions
of dollars, gritty old cars that built this country's economy
that made my parents want to flee communism
for the freedom of this country's stock car invention.
Yeah, highfalutin, looking down on your nose
at motorsports here in this country
because a Netflix documentary made you feel
like you were better than me.
Ferrari.
You don't even watch it.
The races are bad.
Formula One is bad, flatly bad.
And while you may watch the Netflix show in droves,
you ain't watching the races.
So you ain't coming over here screwing up my calendar,
coming to my continent,
and trying to put a dent in the Indy 500.
They got one race a year that we talk about them.
One race a year, and you ain't taking any of it's shine.
Hallelujah, Mike.
I'm glad you got all of it out from the last couple of days.
It's like getting the air out of a tire
that's overinflated.
He's been mad for three days because of Marchand.
He hasn't had a microphone.
He hasn't gotten to talk enough about 6-1.
You haven't gotten to say anything about winning 6-1.
And I can't, and...
That was a couple days ago.
We're on to game four.
All right, so spin the Wheel of Cody's.
The Wheel of Fortune of Cody's.
Spin it.
Wheel maximum maybe?
That would be better.
Wheel maximum. Probably That would be better.
Wheel maximum.
Probably shouldn't have called it the cousin
or 400.
You shouldn't have done that.
I don't know why.
Appreciate you saying it again.
I don't know why you did that.
It seemed like you got carried away.
Well, I'm shocked that it's a sponsor.
Don't be like Mike.
Don't be like Mike there.
He gets too emotional.
It clearly landed there on mini camps.
Did it? Oh, yeah, it says mini camp. My bad. it clearly landed there on many camps
it's a minute camp my bad again i was looking someplace else
the the phrase many camp is so stupid
it's ridiculous never been like
i don't like many miles
i don't like the many cooper while i don't like many camp
anything that begins with the word many should be all ofed And I can't think of a single except minivan mini don't like the minivan mini minoso
You had a nice minivan white minivan like I remember when I was like seven or eight dodge caravan
I was a man not a minivan as a van
Mini minoso felt like a minivan well mini minoso spells it with two ends and an E on the end
I mean, that's I'm talking about mini as in
Tiny so you're saying there are
no good minis that anything that's mini should be outlawed. But it's like Minnie Mouse. Minnie Mouse
isn't a real name her name is Mervina. That's true but Minnie Mouse spells it with an IE as well.
Oh wait it's Google AI. That can't be true. Minosa and and Mouse both spelled their first names, Mini, M-I-N-N-I-E. Minerva Mouse.
That's a great deftone song.
That wouldn't work at all.
Minerva?
Sorry, they shortened it.
Minerva.
They would've gotten divorced.
Well, they got divorced,
and it really impacted their stock price.
I heard the bad joke.
I don't care if no one else heard it.
What happened?
Let him have it.
What?
Let him have it, Chris. Let him have it. What? What did I say? Greg, this is what heard it. What happened? Let him have it. What? Let him have it, Chris.
Let him have it.
What?
What did I say?
Greg, this is what's happening.
What did you say?
You said it.
What did I say?
You're like the nerve of her.
Yeah, right.
Minerva, the nerve of her.
Right, it's good, good line.
Minerva, nerve, the nerve of her.
Minerva her.
It works.
Works on several different levels. Domin Dominique knows it's getting better though
The more you do it the more right right it out not great. Yeah, Minerva the Minerva her
It does have a sing song cadence to it Minerva. No Minerva not
the Minerva her
What we're doing a thing
Minerva now
Minerva now
We just wanted you to get it might want to join in Michael Theodore tone. Oh tone
Yeah, I can't tell if I'm shortening your name warning you. I'm sorry to do. No, I'm sorry to do this to you
I'm sorry Michael Theodore. This is one minor penalty to it
See you later, I mean you're about to get mad at me and Mike
because Mike seized on, I had the Minerva song in my hand
and Mike was gonna be the only one to help me there.
And what I wanted from you there, Tone,
is for you to jump rope between me and Mike doing Minerva.
I tried.
Well, you tripped on the rope.
And then Mike said he's doing a thing,
which I stopped and I said,
okay, you guys double dutch, keep going,
keep going, longer longer go more more more
Yeah, six bars of a nervous. Keep going make it 12. Just let me double Dutch Marvy
You want you to do it? Don't tell me

Look Marvy povich has liked what we do what sports writers do what Tony Kornheiser does
I don't know why this person who has been at the height of comedy and
At the height of news. I don't know why this person would fancy us
sports writers, people that he's fans of, but he will appreciate that I've got an executive
producer that just botched that that way. So you want to say hello to Marnie Povich
here?
Hey, Marvie.
Oh boy. That's what letterman used to call marvie
morty burry
