This is the Don Lebatore Show with the Stoogats Podcast.
Hey Jess.
Hey Billy.
How are you?
Oh I'm good, how are you?
I'm good, welcome into Wild Billy Wednesday as it's known around these parts.
Negotiated for.
Oh I thought there was more. Okay, so anyway, so Meen is in, Zazzle's in, Tony's in here, Chris is in, Jeremy Dan's
in here, Roy's in, and we're having a good time.
I don't know if you've been watching the show today, but we have a number of things to get
to and a number of things that we've gotten to.
So I don't know if you want us to throw you a topic, if you wanna give us a topic,
but I can catch you up on what we've talked about so far.
We've talked about soda bodies,
we've talked about flowers from grocery stores,
we've talked about boy bands,
and we've talked about the Miami Dolphins.
So if you're kinda wanna get in on any of that,
we can get to that also.
Guys, everybody here, this is breaking news
that I'm reporting first here.
I've done some reporting, as Mike would say.
And we have a new game that I wanna play with Jessica
and with all of you, and you guys can all participate
in this game, Dan, you included, Zazz, Amin,
everyone can play.
And the name of the game is called, Irish it were true.
What?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Is this like a Notre Dame pun?
Let's just, we'll get to it when we get to it.
We don't have to start with the game,
but we can work our way up to the game.
It's called, I Rish It, We're True.
Okay.
Yeah, so I'm gonna throw out a topic
and then you guys say, I Rish It, We're True,
or I Rish It, We're True.
I love that.
It's a fun game.
We'll get to that a little bit later.
Okay.
So Jess, who in sports has a soda body?
Ooh, well I call it pop.
I would also like to throw out another topic Billy,
if I am allowed to do that.
Yeah, just forget about all the stuff I said, it's fine.
No, we'll get to all of that.
I really want to talk about the dolphins with you guys.
But have you guys mentioned Ozzy Osbourne dying yet?
No, we haven't mentioned Ozzy Osbourne dying yet? No, we haven't mentioned Ozzy Osbourne dying. Okay, so I may not be the perfect person
to eulogize Ozzy Osbourne
because he's a little of an older generation than me.
However, I do have a really odd Ozzy Osbourne
sports connection and I was a child of the VH1 MTV era.
So I did watch his reality show back in the early 2000s. Ozzy Osbourne's.
That's honestly how I was introduced to Ozzy Osbourne.
I didn't know anything about Ozzy Osbourne
until I watched the Osbournes.
Really?
Yeah, like at all.
Cause I was such a little kid.
I didn't know about the Osbournes until I saw them.
And I was such like a, you know,
like such a little bubble that I was like,
wow, they say a lot of bad words to their kids.
Yeah.
This is wild.
That's not how my house is.
That was exactly what my introduction was
to Ozzy Osbourne also.
And then my sister was like, yeah, he also ate a bat once.
And I was like, what?
But then Billy, after the Osbourne show
became super popular in like 2002,
he was actually at a Cubs Dodgers game in August 2003
that I happened to attend and went down as one of the most
infamous take me out to the ballgame seventh inning stretch singing singing jobs of anyone
in the history of of the seventh inning stretch. And so my connection to Ozzy Osbourne has always
been that I was there as a I think seven year old. This was like the height of my Cubs fandom.
I'm like a month before the Steve Bartman thing,
which is where my blood feud with Miami started.
And I saw Ozzy sing the seventh inning stretch live.
And in like, this was like, you know, pre social media,
but like this seventh inning stretch went viral.
And I think we have sound from it, Roy,
if people aren't familiar.
All right Chicago.
I want to hear a real crazy crowd start singing with me.
Are you ready? Are you ready? I can't hear you. Are you ready?
One, two, three, and... I'm gonna finish you.
Now let's get some runs.
Now let's get some runs.
Come on, don't mess around.
Let's get some runs! Now let's get some runs! Come on, don't miss a run!
Let's get some runs, guys!
Come on, come in!
So let me just say right now,
A beautiful man.
When Jessica was setting up the clip,
I'd never heard it before.
Really?
I wanted it to be funny.
I said, oh, did it sound so exactly, exactly what was in my head.
It's so good, it's so good.
I was bummed about Ozzy yesterday and this morning.
I honestly, I spent the whole car ride in today
listening to Ozzy and Black Sabbath.
Like I was into it, I was getting goosebumps
listening to it because he performed this
back to the beginning concert which was like two weeks ago at Wembley Stadium in London
where all the heavy metal groups,
they were there and paying tribute.
And Ozzy and Black Sabbath, it was like a reunion,
one final show back to the beginning.
And you were able to see,
like he summed it up one final time.
He was emotional during some of the songs.
People in the crowd are crying.
And he even said that leading up to the show to make sure that he could perform in the current state like he
had Parkinson's okay so he was suffering for a bit and he even he couldn't stand during
the show. They brought him out on a throne. He performed on a throne. He couldn't stand
and he said leading up to the show he wasn't taking his medication anymore because he needed
to make sure that he could focus and do it one final time. He was saying goodbye to all of us.
It's so cool, I was showing my wife that last night.
We name a celebrity that went out better than Ozzy?
It really, it's-
Like that is, I don't wanna say it's cool,
but it's so awesome that he got to do that.
He was saying goodbye to us.
Oh, be clear on this.
That's one of the most moving things
I've ever seen or heard. I've told you guys before that seeing Led Zeppelin play at the Kennedy
Center when Hart and a chorus is singing behind them, seeing them their music
played for them back to them is among the best television or moving music I've
ever seen. What Zazzlow said a piece of this Okay The piece of it that Zaslow's hitting on is those bands showed up for 15 minutes all of them to do their very best
because they knew that guy was dying and they knew what he was and
Osborne's reality show that's one of the most amazing entertainment things of my lifetime
I saw a guy who the church thought was a Satanist who was leading all children to hell become a sitcom dad
He became a TV dad that person the story I know about Ozzy
That is the best story isn't him biting the head off a bat a live bat on stage. It's that other bands
Bands addicted to heroin
Marveled that he would snort the line of ants on the way to the popsicle stick on the floor because this dude
It's a miracle
He made it to 76 and the music that was played was said to sit they know we should be gone 25 years ago
Like that dude was an insane person to see him go sitcom dad to then goodbye
I had a lot of fun and everyone's like crying in the crowd because they know exactly what that means
Very few people get to go out like that.
Take me anywhere,
anywhere.
And then the Cubs lost,
even though Zambrano was pitching, Dan.
It was a huge bummer.
Wow, this really, really burnt that memory into your brain,
your seven year old brain.
Zambrano greats the body.
The Cubs fans also, by the way,
like let them get away with it,
because they will boo the crap out of anyone that does that.
And Ozzy's like, this was awesome.
Alex Cooper was there a couple weeks ago.
They hated Alex Cooper singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game.
But they loved this.
Alex Cooper?
Alex, the podcast host.
Oh, I thought we were doing the rock and roll guys.
Oh, Alex Cooper was there.
Wow.
Billy, we can't play. Oh, I thought, I'm like, oh, I thought we were like doing the rock and roll guys. It's like, oh, Alice Cooper was there, wow.
Billy, we-
I will never ever have to die.
We can't play the video, but as soon as he starts singing,
they cut to the bleacher seats,
and there's just a guy without a shirt on,
and he just starts, like, he starts laughing,
and then you hear the laugh from the crowd
at the Cubs game.
And so, actually, my, my dad, someone invited my dad and like all of us
to sit in a club or like a box seat for that game.
So we were like right next to the TV booth.
And that was like a big deal.
Cause you know, I never sat in a box before
and they have a dessert cart.
But the thing that I remember most was like,
we all went out into the hallway to see Ozzy
and Sharon Osbourne.
Walk out from from the TV booth
right after it happened and that was the first time
I'd ever seen a celebrity in person.
I was like, this is the coolest day of my life.
And then I actually, a few years later in Chicago,
saw Black Sabbath at Lollapalooza, I think.
So, I don't know, that was always my Ozzy Osbourne
connection, you could look at me, Lucy, for that too.
I'm my Ozzy.
Hold on, you say a few years later?
Yeah, probably, I don't know, 10.
She went at nine to Lollapalooza later. Okay, all right, I don't know. She went at nine till all of a sudden.
Okay, all right, I was like, you're like 10?
I was like, Sabath, 10 years old.
So anyways, bummed to hear that he passed away.
He was like one of the first sitcom family dads
in my household.
To be that age, and that's how you get turned
onto who Ozzy Osbourne is.
America feared him.
The church was saying that he was the most evil person
in entertainment.
What was he like because when I, you guys say that,
but when I was turned on to him, he was a sitcom dad,
and he was kind of like this guy,
like obviously it's because of the years of drug use,
but he just seemed like this guy that was just like
bumbling around a lot of the time,
and I was like, how is this person the most feared person in America?
And they think that this guy is going to like recruit me to a cult, because if
that Ozzy Osbourne showed up at my door and is like, Hey, you want to worship
Satan? I'd be like, nah, I think I'm good. But thank you.
Like, you want to come in and like, I mean, it's because when we, when you think
of heavy metal, you know, through the sevents and then the 80s, he was the guy.
He was the very, very top of the food chain when it comes to heavy metal stars.
He was just a titan.
And for that guy to be the sweet man we saw bumbling around his home where, by the way,
he's not in charge.
The kids and the wife run the show
and they tell him what to do.
It was really endearing and he was like the sweetest man.

Don LeBretard.
I don't think I ever got that many roses in my whole life.
Stugats.
Certainly not from your lovely grandfather, God.
May his soul rest in peace.
This is the Don Lebatard Show with the Stugats.
Did the church hate him because the band was called Black Sabbath?
It was called... Oh, no, because no, he was a Satanist.
They did all... No, they did Al anything else? No, he was a Satanist.
They did all the-
Just a satanic panic.
No, they did Alistair Crowley, like a song about, like this, I cannot explain to you,
I'm trying to think who could even, it's not, this is beyond Marilyn Manson, I guess, sort
of.
Marilyn Manson was ripping off whatever it is that Ozzy was doing 30 years earlier with
costumes.
Ozzy Osbourne was thought by the church
to be some, to the devil's music.
He has denied being a Satanist, by the way,
in the New York Times reported in 1992
that he was actually a practicing member
of the Church of England, prayed before each show.
The only song I know is Crazy Train.
That's the only song.
No, you know, you just don't know that you know.
Give me some other examples.
Mama, I'm coming home. Never'm coming home. You've heard Iron Man
What's that?
You've heard war pigs before war pigs
You're confident I don't think it's an unreasonable request soda body
Did the church get together and have a meeting and say this is the guy that we hate?
Like what does that mean?
Like the church was so afraid of it.
Like they called like, you know,
like in the papal conclave when like,
before I guess John Paul was the pope at the time,
like, okay, before we elect a new pope though,
let's go over pop culture and decide who we hate the most.
And then they let out the smoke and it's like Ozzy.
I really don't know.
Let's think about this as,
give me somebody comparably that i can't on that that
was at the height of whatever represented evil in america like this
this person when he says he's a tightness for people who are like i like
that he's a wrestling character
and then the people don't know that he's a wrestling character and that is
addicted to drugs and everything else and that is could musically great that
he's not that he's acting and that he's a sitcom dad
who gets bossed around by his wife.
Zazz is connecting with the music there,
but he's also rebelling against whoever it is
thinks this person needs to be banned.
I would say, I think Howard Stern's in that territory.
People thought he was like this awful person
when in reality, like he wasn't that guy
on the radio at all.
And people have flipped on him,
like he's kind of on the other side of that now.
I feel like if you're the church, right,
like that's the worst thing you wanna do, right?
Cause like if you're like a young impression,
okay, it's like the church hates this guy.
He's like way too hot.
It's like, whoa, I like this guy, right?
Like I feel like if the church wanted to do it,
what they should do is like, this is Joel Osteen.
God, I mean, he's, this guy does not represent
the church at all. And then a bunch of people are like,
I gotta check out this Osteen guy
and see what he's all about.
The church hates him so much, you know?
Reverse psychology is just,
bring him into the church that way.
Every time.
Jessica just said Streisand effect.
And I gotta be honest, I've heard that.
I learned, I still, I can't remember what it is,
but I heard it for the first time like three days ago,
and I've heard it seven times since.
Yeah, I've never, I've never heard of it.
Jessica, what is the Streisand effect?
It's like when you try to censor something
and then like by saying this is taboo,
more people pay attention to it anyways.
Every time, every time.
What did Babs do that everyone was trying to censor her?
Started with Barbara Streisand?
Yeah, what did she do?
Barbara Streisand was Trump, they're doing this. They're doing doing the so what if she was the one that was trying to censor somebody
yes like a photo of her house or something i don't know yeah it was it was a picture of her house she's
like stop taking pictures of my house and all the happy everybody's like what take pictures of your
house more exactly that went down by the way to answer your question who else madonna church hated
madonna yeah they'll Like a Prayer video?
They did not like that.
Oh, but wait a minute.
They hated Madonna for sexuality.
Women weren't supposed to hate like that.
Osborne wasn't, like Osborne,
I don't think he was publicly against the church,
but everyone thought he was the devil's child.
Like that's how he was being reacted to.
He was literally like the test case for,
you play the record backwards
and you're gonna hear the devil.
That's correct. That's where that comes from.
Yes, that's where that starts. Yes, and play the Aleister and you're gonna hear the devil. That's correct. That's where that comes from. Yes, that's where that starts.
Yes, and play the Aleister Crowley song backwards.
Who's Aleister Crowley?
I don't know, sounds like a dentist.
Oh my gosh, you guys.
Dr. Crowley?
Dr. Crowley?
You know what?
Please look up Aleister Crowley's history
and let's see if we can scare Jessica
because you say you guys.
I know who Aleister,
Dan, come on, I'm like,
one of my favorite bands was Led Zeppelin growing up.
Yeah, she worshiped the devil as a child, Dan.
Exactly, Billy. She went and saw Black Sabbath at 10 years oldelin growing up. Yeah, she worshiped the devil as a child, Dan.
She went and saw Black Sabbath at 10 years old
at Lollapalooza.
My nanny was a psychic, she saw ghosts.
Really?
Yeah.
Does that make you a psychic, though?
Seeing ghosts?
Well, according to her, I mean,
I certainly scarred my sister for life,
whether it was true or not.
Did you guys see this story just somewhat related to Ozzy,
and maybe it was an homage to Ozzy mentioned
biting the bat before, there's a law firm in New York where they had to fire an intern for biting people.
Yes, Billy, I saw this. It was in the New York Post. This law big, big law firm intern, apparently
her first week was just going around biting people and it wasn't like a little nibble,
but it also wasn't like a ferocious like mean bite. She was just, I guess, biting people in the in-between,
according to the Post.
And so I think it was a woman, but maybe not.
But anyways, they got fired or let go from their internship.
And it's apparently been a big scandal
around the big law industry now.
That's one way to make your mark.
My brother bit Tatum O'Neil.
You were saying, Billy?
Really?
Wait, what?
Why?
He had a hard time explaining it. My brother bit Tatum O'Neil. You were saying, Billy? Really? Wait, what? Why?
He had a hard time explaining it. Tatum O'Neil got mad at him,
but they were both dancing at Flockata on Caglioccio,
and all I will say about the music and the drink,
and however it is that people get down there,
got carried away, bit her on the shoulder, she got mad.
I don't know why he bit her on the shoulder.
She shouldn't have gotten mad.
Dirty dancing? She should not have gotten mad. Why? You know where you're at. I don't know why you've been on the shoulder. I shouldn't have gotten mad dirty dancing
You know where you're at you can't
Know what the deal is
You guys want to play I wish it were true or you want to talk?
I don't understand the game. I don't understand. I wish it were true. I want you to be very careful. What do you mean?
Dangerous man be careful. How what do you mean? It's a dangerous. Be careful how? It's a dangerous game. What do you mean? It's a dangerous game.
Well what do you, let's, okay.
You wish it's true, but you don't wish it's true.
Listen, let's just, let's voice our concerns now
to make sure that I don't step in it.
And I'm fine with this on air.
What are we afraid that I'm gonna do here?
Oh, you know what?
Full speed ahead.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
He's my executive.
You're good.
Can we please share this?
No, you're good.
I wanna make sure.
It's worse to explain what a mean is thinking
than to do what you're doing.
So just continue.
Well, if I haven't thought about it,
then I feel like it can't be coming from a bad place.
There you go, that's right.
That's correct.
Or I haven't been paying enough attention.
I don't know what you guys are doing.
We're gonna play a game.
I'm picking up what Amin's putting down.
I think that, let me just awkwardly segue
into promoting my new podcast.
It's called The Echoes.
At The Echoes, at The Echoes,
and the pod, me and Michael Jr.,
Notre Dame podcast, every week on Tuesdays.
Please tune in, today was our first episode,
although today is Wednesday.
In the future, it'll be out on Tuesdays.
Did you guys talk about Rudy?
No, we didn't talk about Rudy,
but I mean, thank you for your input.
We can talk about Rudy on our next episode.
So did you guys know this?
This is part of the exhaustive basketball Illuminati slash
a public story finds out episode
we did on Malik Beasley.
Do you guys know that Malik Beasley's like
a family of all actors?
And his grandfather was played one of the coaches in Rudy?
Like I think he was the linebacker coach or something?
Yes, I heard that on the episode.
That's Malik Beasley's grandfather.
John Beasley.
Yep, John Beasley, big John Beasley.
He was in Rudy's Corner.
Yeah, he was.
He was one of the guys who was like, coach,
we need to play the kid.
Yeah.
Both of his parents were actors, too.
Learned that on the show as well.
Yep.
So his father, Michael Beasley, not that Michael Beasley,
was on, he's been in two guns, he's been in a bunch of movies.
But I always remember him as the guy in East Bound and Down
when they're on the show with him and Kenny Powers
doing a TV show.
He's the former NFL player there.
Dude, John Beasley's not one of the coaches.
He's like the guy in the stadium that like
gives the guy like, he's like the groundskeeper. No, when they need to walk into the field.
You're gonna figure this out, it's fine.
He's a coach in Rudy.
Charles S. Dutton is the groundskeeper in Rudy.
It's okay, he's remembering Little Big League.
He was crucial in that moment,
because if you guys remember in Little Big League,
they run a trick play where they go to pick off
Ken Griffey Jr. down over at first base,
and he does a little hat tip, and he says like,
"'I gotcha.'" And so when they throw the ball over to first base and he does a little hat tip and he says like I got
You and so when they throw the ball over to first they don't actually throw the ball. They hold on to it
It's a hidden ball trick and then the
He's the guy standing down the first base line, and he's like oh my god where the ball go
I gotta pick up my chair the balls clearly coming this direction. I don't want to get in the way
So Ken Griffey jr. He runs from first to third, but he's kind of jogging
He's jogging looking back and he's giving a smirk like I'm the freaking best
I'm the best guy who's ever lived but little than you know Bowers on the mound the relief pitcher throws it over to third base
Yeah, tag him out ballgame the real point. I wanted to make this is like a well-known actor
Yes, I've seen this guy in a bunch of shit all his like his whole family are not like bit actors
These are people who have been in stuff also
I don't know if there's a suey category for best save but goddamn Jeremy Tashley just saved your ass yours, too
Don Lebatard
Mr. Mr. Shirt if I may say for a second Miami
They were simulating the snap count the entire game and they were clapping at the line of scrimmage and the only thing I want to
See clapping are them cheeks on Mrs. Met in my face Mike Shirt. All right, so that's one thing
Stugots. There are a bunch of cheaters, Dan. And you
know who should be cheating? Mrs. Met on Mr. Met. And he can watch if he wants. This is the
Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats. Oh, I thought the bed was longer for Irish It Were Truly.
But that's the open. So it's a new game called Irish It Were True. But that's the open, so it's a new game called
Irish It Were True.
["Irish It Were True"]
Jessica, can I hear some of the other names
you guys were thinking of?
Because Echoes is great with you and Mike Golick
for all things Notre Dame.
What were some of the other name choices
you guys were going over?
Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame.
Wake up the Echo's cheering your name.
Send a volley cheer on it.
That's where it comes from.
That's a long name.
I was gonna say it's a long podcast name.
That's a real long podcast name.
Deep cut.
That was the only title that was discussed, Dan.
Wow. That was it, one and done.
That's not good.
That's not a good brainstorming process.
I'm just saying that.
The name's good, but that process, not good.
Show your work kind of thing.
Yeah. All right, Irish it were true. So this is how this game works. I'm gonna
give you a fact about something that is Irish, and if it's false you say Irish it
were true. But if it's something that you think is true, you say,
Irish, it wasn't true.
Because then you're saying that it's true.
Irish, it wasn't?
Irish, it were true.
Or Irish, it weren't true.
I'm following.
My executive, ladies and gentlemen.
It's like all the games that he plays
on God Bless Football that are great.
No, this one's different.
This one's Irish.
Look, Billy has learned from the best.
He interned at PTI and he knows you can make something big
out of the same game if you dress it up in different ways.
This is a totally different game
because it's called Irish, it were true,
because Irish, and then these are facts related to Ireland.
And if it's false, you say Irish, it were true,
because it's false, so you wish it was true.
Oh, I see, okay, I'm following.
If it's false, then you say you wish it was true. Okay I'm following. If it's false then you say Irish it were true. I'm just gonna say wish though.
Irish because it's brought to you by the Echoes your podcast. Irish. It's not wish
it's Irish it's one word Irish like Ireland's. Okay here's the first one
Colin Farrell quit smoking on his 34th birthday,
May 31st, 2010.
He mentioned that he smoked an entire pack of cigarettes
that day, paying close attention to every puff he took
and even wrote a goodbye letter to cigarettes.
Wow.
He stubbed out his last cigarette at 11.55 p.m. that night
and has been smoke free ever since.
["The Last Supper"] This is a good p.m. that night and has been smoke free ever since. This is a good game.
Guys?
I wish it weren't true.
Nope, that's not the game.
Irish, Irish.
That's not the game.
You're not playing it right.
You play, I mean, why don't you answer?
I don't have a podcast called The Echoes.
Oh, Dan?
Well, I am confused by the rules of the game,
but I guess I would have to say,
because I'm confused by the rules of the game,
I want that to be true, but I wish it weren't true.
So you think it is true?
I do think it's true, but I don't know how to say that I.
Yeah, it's true, it's true.
I wish it weren't true, because it is true, yes.
All right, here we go, onto it is true. Yes. All right.
Here we go on to the next one.
Thank you, Roy.
You're welcome.
Liam Neeson once turned down playing James Bond in GoldenEye
because he didn't want to be in an action film.
Wow.
Wow.
That's good music, man.
This is great music.
It's funny music.
Oh man.
I'm nostalgic for my trip to Ireland
two years ago now.
I wish.
I feel like I'm at the bottom of the Titanic dancing.
At Dan's wedding.
Hmm, yeah, the water.
Hey, Roy.
["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"]
That was us at Dan's wedding.
Everyone else, Sarah Spade and Dan Patrick.
It was basically that and then like damn Patrick look what I can do
I juggled for him. Yeah, it was so embarrassing
He did juggle hit him in the balls
Through it like right at him yeah, I think we have
I can answer this question that I know the answer and the answer is
Irish it weren't true because it is true.
Anyone else have any guesses?
I mean it's right.
That's what I was gonna say.
Yeah that was true.
And actually what Chris was just saying reminded me of an article I saw in the cut the other
day.
Did you guys see the article about like summer long balls apparently and when it gets really
hot out your balls become like really long.
Like long, long balls.
You got some long ass balls, Larry.
Very long balls, yeah.
Long ball Larry.
Yeah.
I read a whole article about this.
There was a whole article in the cut about men's biology.
I like that.
What did the article say?
There was a lot of like medical language involving
like the veins and the testicles and things of that nature. What happens in the winter? They go back up. They shrink. Yeah they go back up
when they're cold I guess. Try to go far away from the balls and then try to go back up
when it's cold. The reason why the balls hang is because of the heat generated so
like this is an evolution thing. They hang to allow the proper heat dissipation.
Thank you. As an owner of testes I can say
Irish it weren't true. Hit the music.
All right patient I don't want to. Here's the next one. Irish Springs. Are you
looking for a natural fly repellent? Look no further than a bar of Irish springs as it acts as a natural fly repellent.
That's just so random.
Irish it were true or Irish it weren't true?
Irish it were true.
Irish it were true.
Okay, yeah, I'm gonna go with that one.
But wait, that's denying it though.
Yeah, I don't think it's true.
I think that is true.
No, Irish it weren't true means it is true. Right, Dan's got it. I think it's true. I think that is true. No, Irish weren't true means it is true.
Right, Dan's got it.
I think it's true.
Irish at war trip.
There's an Irish spring man right there, I can tell.
Inconclusive.
When you combine Irish spring soap with water, it does kill insects.
Soapy water is lethal for flies, and when their bodies are covered with it, they dry
out. Water is lethal for flies and when their bodies are covered with it they dry out While this can be an effective homemade spray you can put into a bottle
It doesn't necessarily repel flies in the way you met you may want the evidence for the efficacy of this trick when it comes
To repelling flies is anecdotal
wash your ass
Wash your ass. Is that what you just said? Wash your ass.
That's it, like yeah. Wash your ass
and keep the flies away. Not bad
advice. Okay, I have two more quick
ones for Irish it were true
or Irish it were false.
I have a top five Led Zeppelin songs if anyone
has it. Yes! I wanna hear that. Really? Yes!
Led Zeppelin, Boy Band?
Ooh, yeah. I'm with you.
Pearl Jam, boy band.
There's a rumor they're gonna play
at the World Cup opening ceremony, right?
Or did I make that up?
Pearl Jam?
No, Led Zeppelin.
Oh.
Yeah, I think you're right about that.
Hmm.
Really?
I think so.
I think I've heard that.
When's the last time Led Zeppelin played?
I mean, it's a long time ago.
What, are you kidding me?
That's a thing that's real?
Last time they played was when they had Zeppelins. I wish it weren't true.
Waldo the Wizard, a helpful but scatterbrained magician, was created for a serial that never
hit the market and instead graced Lucky Charms boxes for only a matter of months when Lucky
was thought to be not friendly enough.
That has to be true. I wish you guys saw the shrug Jessica did.
All right, that's true. Okay, we'll just wrap this up because I don't know if this game's petered out. Well, it was working. The music was working. But yeah, then it petered out.
I think once you go inconclusive, you sort of take the air out of your own brain.
I'm not in control of the questions.
In the early 1980s, kids could send away for Lucky's farm kit and grow their own crops.
And while Lucky is primarily associated with St. Patrick's Day, for a couple of years in
the 1990s, kids could send in their box tops for cartons
with special edition green tree marshmallows
and receive a free Christmas tree seedling.
I mean this.
It's probably not made up.
You don't think that Billy's that creative.
You don't think that Billy's got the creativity
to write Christmas tree seedling
as if he's not reading it straight from the internet.
So that's your official guess.
That has to be true just because.
Yes, it has to be.
No, no, no, no.
Irish.
Irish.
Notre Dame, it were true.
Yeah.
It weren't true.
That's true, yeah.
You guys are good at this game.
According to social media posts and some websites,
there were claims that Led Zeppelin would reunite
at the FIFA Club World Cup around their album release,
but that didn't happen.
There's no credible information that suggests
they're going to perform at the World Cup.
Darn.
According to Gemini or Chad GPT?
I got long-balled.
Album release, when was their last,
I don't know the last time that Led Zeppelin released music.
Mid-80s probably was their last album.
Yeah.
Mid-80s?
Mid-80s.
Are you reading?
When are you reading?
What's the...
What is the time that you're...
You're going to say that Led Zeppelin has it?
No, that can't be right.
Well, Robert Plant has put out his own albums.
No, no, but as a band.
Recently.
But as a band, yeah.
82.
There you go.
82.
Wow.
That's the last full album.
They did release a couple of like older,
Like live albums.
They did BBC sessions, they did how the West was won.
What was that album, Coda?
They did Celebration Day.
Was that the last one?
Coda was the last one in 1982.
Not their best work, Jess.
Cool name for an album though.
Nothing on the top five from that list.
I'm trying to hear this top five.
Yeah, what is your top five?
Well, I do wanna hear the Jeremy top five
of corrections from the entirety of the week,
but I do want Jessica to make some rulings
on some things that we've been talking about here.
How do you feel if there is a booth for four people
and there are only two of you,
Lehman sitting right next to you in the booth?
How do we feel about that?
In a booth, it's a little awkward.
I mean, especially because he's left-handed,
I'm right-handed, we always sit on the wrong sides
and then we bump elbows the whole time.
But is it romantic?
Do you think your man is romantic if he sits next to you,
needs to sit next to you instead of across from you?
I don't want my head to be like this
the whole time I'm eating dinner.
I wanna be able to like see you.
What does she know about romance?
If he did that on the first date,
is there a second date?
Yeah, I mean, unless he like said something
really effed up too, and then I'd be like,
oh, that's two strikes.
What if the first date was at a Pizza Hut?
Not, hold on, you can't, the old school Pizza Hut,
that was a restaurant, a sit down restaurant Pizza Hut.
This is how Greg Cody, on a first date
with what would become his wife at a Pizza Hut,
he sat next to her and she thought it was creepy.
Well, it worked out for both of them, didn't it? So, I mean, I guess you can't just, that's true.
I guess it worked out for all of us.
It worked out, but is it romantic? It worked out, but romantic or creepy?
Romance.
It's the height of romance, but it's also,
I mean, Pizza Hut used to be like a cool happening place.
Hell yeah.
Look it up.
Did you know that Billy had body dysmorphia?
We all do.
I mean, what do we do?
Well, no, the reason I wanna ask her a question,
does Zazz have a soda drinker's body
and is saying someone has a soda drinker's body an insult?
What is soda?
I'm sorry, pop, pop, my bad.
Oh, okay.
Yes, I would say that is an insult to say that,
and it's not nice.
It'd be tough to think that that's a compliment.
Right.
You said you had a pop body, you'd get upset about that?
Are you asking me? Yeah.
You're the one with the pop body around here.
I know you're not talking to me.
Are you surprised, Jessica, that Zaslow does not drink any pop?
Never.
Doesn't drink it.
I don't drink soda.
Not a soda family.
Never grew up with soda.
Right now, my kids, I don't know if my kids have ever tried soda.
We don't do soda.
I don't drink pop either.
So no, I think there's dozens of us.
Hold on, but he drinks Hi-C, which is basically just soda without the bubbles.
Yo, that Hi-C fruit punch and lemonade
at McDonald's, so good, Jess, come on.
You're like Burt Kreischer starting your day
with like a full gallon of lemonade.
Tim Kirch and does it with a Diet Mountain Dew at 5 a.m.
That's so gross.
That's aggressive.
That's disgusting.
It is disgusting.
Put it on the poll at LeBretardShow,
is starting your day with a Diet Mountain Dew
disgusting at 5 a.m.
I wanna ask you about some things locally,
you're always making fun of me about uniquely Miami things.
Little tiny grocery stores that would have one employee
and be a drive through and would be a bit of a shack.
Have you seen any of those either in Miami or elsewhere
are la vaquitas, the little farm stores
that you drive through grocery store?
Have you ever seen one,
or is that something that's only here?
I've seen them, Dan.
And where are they?
Where have you seen one of these?
Chicago, Long Island, various places, I don't know.
And do you use it?
How do you think about these things?
Am I boring you? Yeah, a little bit little bit okay we'll see you later we'll talk
later next week let's get to Jeremy's top five here the top five things that
we've screwed up over the course of the last week?
Well, yesterday I was listening to the show
and there were a few takeaways that I had.
There were six of them.
So, O.L.I.
You guys made the decision to talk about
the Cavender twins getting a boob job
not once but twice.
Interesting.
Should have been three times.
Yeah, what's the correction?
It was reporting there though.
TMZ Sports reported it and we were making fun of Mike Ryan because he didn't because he because he got beat on that story
Mm-hmm, and just yeah, all right. That's fine. Just saying got beat on that story
You know major story journalism look it up. Uh, not a correction. It's about number five
I think the impressions we do of Zaslow or maybe the best thing we do on the show
Okay, but I thought the top five list was...
Corrections.
It's like, what is that?
It's observations from yesterday.
It's five things I wanted to respond to.
That's what I wrote on the board.
These aren't corrections.
I was expecting corrections.
People have an expectation.
All of you, number four, all of you were wrong about Chris's Vegas take.
Okay, now we're back.
Irish forgot to Jess's list.
He loves love.
Number three.
What you guys did to Ethan yesterday, calling him
horny Ethan, was insane.
As someone who gets bullied here often,
that's by far worse than anything
you guys have ever done to me.
Well, they did ask the question, miserable or horny?
And the poll-
It was miserable or happy,
and then for Ethan, it was horny.
Yeah, I think he had his own.
And then they put him on the screen.
Miserable or not miserable.
I apologized to him after that because I don't remember,
who was it yesterday that was waving me off on that?
Was it, there was some...
Probably everyone.
I was the whole room.
I didn't feel great about it.
I would bet everybody.
Probably everyone.
His grandma heard that.
Telefor code.
No.
I'm not gonna wave you off, someone's horny,
I wanna know about it.
I apologize to him privately and I apologize to him publicly.
Number two. Man, I've never been more bored listening to the 50 year old dolphin talk yesterday.
Pathetic franchise.
They're the worst franchise here. They have been for the entire time I've been alive.
Marlins of 1 won two World Series.
No, they've used up all, like it has been fascinating.
Just like we're talking about Ozzy Osbourne
and seeing the generational difference,
what the Dolphins used up from the 70s, 80s, and 90s
when they weren't winning championships,
but they felt like the Chiefs,
because they were the ones with the offense,
they used all of that shit up.
They blew a 3-1 lead.
Yeah, they're nobodies.
I mean, they have been my whole life.
They'll get that back immediately
as soon as they win a playoff game.
Maybe, if they ever do.
I was telling you about my, well, we don't have time for it,
but my small life includes my father sending me to school
with all of the dolphin autographs for the entire team,
and all of them were exactly the same written by him.
They were all fake.
Number one, the conversation about putting new kids on the block in the same category is Backstreet Boys
and Insync.
Insane.
And also Jess brought up something great via text,
but since we made her go away, you know,
we don't get to hear it, but that was One Direction
blows all of them out of the water.
It's nonsense.
It's true.
I don't know what the distinction you guys would be
making between these and Jackson 5. Jackson 5 blows them all out of the water.
