You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Don Levertar Show with the Stugat Spatcast. Okay listeners, one of the things that were always flabbergasted by, floored by us when we ask you to do something, the amount of support that rushes in to help us do it. Greg Cody has been sad today and during the break, because the person who hired him at the Miami Herald has passed away, suddenly Jim Martz,

a local sports writing legend. It was a surprise. He was a very healthy man, even though he was later in life. And Greg Cody insisted fighting his bosses, fighting the man to write a column that remembered Jim Martz, and it's got barely a thousand views. So I need you to fix that. At myHimmyHerald.com, I need you to read about somebody who was meaningful to Greg Cody and support his fight to write for things that matter as AI replaces everybody and Journalism dies a little bit more by the day help Greg Cody Bring back to life something that Jim Martz cared about

deeply when he hired Greg Cody at the Miami Harrow Is that sufficient, Greg? Are you feeling better about your day-to-day? You've taken a bit of a beating. You are upset at your son, at me, and everyone around the show except for Billy who always agrees with you suspiciously. Thank you, Billy.

No problem, Dad. Great. For the record, I did not ask you to beg for clicks for my Mark's column. No, you were just sad. You started smiling as as he did it. Yeah, but you were sad. You were obviously sad.

And this is a person who mattered to you. And grief is very difficult for a number of different reasons with people that you care about. And you're hurting today, so. Wouldn't you be sad though, we poured his heart and soul, his feelings into that column? And no one's reading it. Well, it's going to get fixed right now. All right. And it's not begging. It's just telling the listeners, if you want to learn more about Greg Cody's relationship with

a mentor and somebody who helped usher him, bring him into journalism. You could do so at MiamiHerald.com. I just heard in the back of paywall. Yeah, that's part of the problem. Yeah, it's part of the problem. It is part of the problem. And that's above my pay grade. I have nothing to do with that. So um, why doesn't the fans send a picture of their receipt for a subscription to the herald to Dan and Dan can Venmo them and pay them back? That's a good idea. This is a terrible gift articles Greg. Do you know how many receipts Dan would get? Terrible. Terrible have gift articles, Greg. Do you know how many receipts Dan would get? About as many as I'm getting now. A really good idea.

Sorry. About the same number as I'm getting now, for Vegas and other things. I was told today by a muttering colleague, 30 people. We need to send 30 people to make it. It's too many. I'm like, we do. All right. I think 26 is enough.

30 people to Vegas. Why? I don't have any idea. I mean, I don't I would actively avoid that thing as if it were an allergy. Do we have a contingency plan in place in case the dolphins are in the Super Bowl and they are going to be in my in Vegas that week the same week as us. I can tell you my plan. I'm going to the game. There it is. Our plan is 60 people, if that happens. I'll be there. If the dolphins are in it, I will be there. I've seen plans that you're there with our crew.

Are you aware? I'm not aware, no, I haven't been told. I've told you that. I can have things. Okay, excellent work, Greg Cody. And really, why wouldn't you pay all the expenses to bring that kind of improv talent across the country so he could use his sayings and touch the people.

Thank you very much. Touching the people got me in trouble back in the 70s. But seriously, I should have said the 80s. I was too young in the that's the collection. That's the proper. That's why that one is. There are big couch. There are the issues. Not the decade out of here. Okay. Thank you, Scott. We covered that. There are big couch. What the ever-homes.

Kidding. He can't make a joke anymore. Jail. He, he, he, uh, we don't have, okay, jail. Go ahead and turn. Please. Yes. Go to the jail. Go. Yes. Go please, yes, go to the jail. Do that. Go, yes, go to the penalty box and video, get it ready, get the jail ready right now. It's been upgraded. We were gonna send, you know, get him some,

we were gonna get him some counseling. We were gonna try to be forgiving of someone who was slipping into delirium and cannot keep up with the times and things. It's a good time to make a joke about touching people for 15 years ago. If only you would have said the 80s. Does he get a call?

Does he get one call from prison? Okay. If we've got a working microphone. It's called a mentor's own dream. It's meant to just pass away. You go to jail too. You get out of here too. Jesus Christ.

I was making a mad man job. I know, but we just were talking about his. I didn't get the penalty head. His mentor is dying. It's just a piece. I didn't know. No, get out of here. John Hamstole. I'm prison.

I'd like to rest in peace. Really? What was you doing the crossword with what you guys do to me on these days? It's too much to all of you. Can't be 70 rodeo clowns. I need a tether to something sane around here. I got you, Dana. I'm here, yeah. Yeah, I got you, Dan.

God damn. I'm having fun today. Yeah, same here. We're here for you, Dana. Get me the sound, please, of, before as you construct that jail hastily for metal art for mental art media on new year's eaves to god so i believe the best televised experience is anderson kouper as you've never seen him now i thought this had something to do for years with them drinking andy kohan and anderson kouper

drinking on new years eve but uh... the last couple of years they don't allow them to drink as part of what it is that CNN does on New Year's Eve. I agree with you. It's an entertaining show, highly entertaining show. Two years ago, I believe it was two years ago, they got so hammered and CNN got so nervous about what was going to happen that they asked both of them to stop drinking on air if you want to do the New Year's show.

So they haven't done it until you. And then last year, everyone kind of complained, like every guest they had on was like, oh, why aren't you guys drinking on air if you want to do the near show. So they haven't done it in two years. And then last year, everyone kind of complained, like every guest they had on was like, oh, why aren't you guys drinking? So this year, they let them drink again. So they were back to having fun, a shot every hour. And this was at 1115.

So this is three shots in already for Anderson Cooper. And he got a little giggly. Just so that people understand, they're going out to John Mayer in Japan. And he's at a cat bar there. Because of course. so that people understand they're going out to uh... john mayor in japan and he's at a cat bar uh... there of course uh... yes right up for obvious reason he likes to make it weird it's just a uh... it's like a but i'm not sure if they serve liquor over there uh... in cat

bars so they might not be bars actually but it's sort of a cat cafe situation and anderson Cooper simply cannot keep it together and again you don't see him in other news settings you just don't see this side of him. We are joined by John Mayer at a cat cafe in Tokyo. John this doesn't look sanitary John. John., you know what, I believe it passes all health codes. I think it's just fine. Yes, we are at a cat bar. It's called Cats in the Box in Tokyo.

Celebrating New Year's, we're already halfway through the first day of 2024. John, I'm here with the... So John, Shin, and five other proprietors of the bar. Talk to me about this bar. You are in the bar, and there are cats everywhere. They are licking each other. There are cats. I mean, yes.

Yes, this is a... And yeah. This is a place you can come enjoy a drink or two and talk to cats It's a cat bar. I mean, I don't know how much more clear I can be about the objective in this place You John you are I can't see Anderson, but I know exactly Yes, you do he's gone he's off with the fairies here just the're giving the cat? Well, Amy, Amy, I gotta be honest with you.

I thought these were solid treats. This seems to be a paste of some kind that you feed the cats directly from a tube. Well, so, this is a Latinist cat paste. I mean, John, I have to ask because do you know the name of that cat? Is there a possibility that we could play one of my favorite games called name that we are joined by John mayor at it? All right, excellent dismount there. Stugant, you were... I mean, excellent dismount there. Stugotch, you were-

I mean it was on CNN. What's your point? I mean if it's good for CNN we can play it. Stoved up. Look at Jessica laughing in jail. No one laughs in prison. Nobody's ever had more fun in jail. All right, so wait, so just Greg Cody indeed have a call. Does he have a working microphone from jail? I do, yes. And what are we going to do with that? Why do you have a working microphone? Were you making a call to a were you making one phone call to get out of jail? I already talked to my lawyer, but she refused to take the call. So we're stuck in here for a while. Classic life joke.

It is a nice sell. It really is. Don't you think it's a nice sell? It'd be nicer if you had socks on. It's true. I don't have a sock. No! Who wears socks with deck shoes?

Come on. Can't smell great. Who wears jeans and gel? Jessica, can you tell me how horrified you are by those feet? Oh my god! No! No! No! No! They're normal feet. Don't worry about it. It's for what's going on? Unbelievable. By the way, am I still on the air? Did you hear about ESPN had to apologize for briefly showing a woman exposing her breasts

on Bourbon Street after the bowl game? An official apology. What century is this? How much of a pure, a tanical society are we when a network has to apologize for a little accident? Who's being harmed by this? What kids are up at that hour going, oh my god, my life is ruined.

Because I've seen what I just saw. You know what that's like? For a network having to apologize. That's like me returning, not returning a shopping cart. I leave the shopping cart right in the parking lot next to a car. And people give me such a dirty look. It's such a, it's a misdemeanor. It's less than a misdemeanor. Don't get, there are so many things to worry about in the world. You're gonna get on me for not returning a shopping cart. You're gonna get on a network for accidentally showing a woman Exploding her. I mean, come on.

It's ridiculous. It's less than a misdemeanor. If you're gonna be mad at me, if you're gonna put me in jail, make it be for a felony, please. That kind of thing. Over and out. I'm breaking out of this jail, I swear to you. Where's the exit? Folks, whether you're hosting a game day, a movie night, Dejorno knows that planning a watch party on a budget isn't easy. You need the perfect setting, the perfect squad, the perfect eats,

and luckily you're a game time mastermind, and you know that grabbing dejorno classic crust pizza can bring home the dub, because it's packed with half a pound of cheese, sauce, and other toppings, and comes at an incredible price. Make the game winning call and grab a dejorno classic crust pizza from the grocery store I did not propose in the hot air balloon, but I did go on a hot air balloon trip of ride in San Francisco, Northern California, on my honeymoon, we got stuck in a tree. And I haven't been back since, I mean, to the entire area, by the way. Stugats! You just avoided the entire... Not just the tree, not just hot air balloons, you've avoided the entire West Coast. This is the Don Lebatarstar Show with Estugats.

Estugats, why were you so excited to show me what was just on your phone? A picture, I believe, of a very bold David Tepper. What was happening there that you just flashed at me? I made the joke yesterday on the air, Tepper Tantrum. And I feel like it deserved a better fit. You laughed at it, but no one else really did. Mike gave it a Hakeem Nix laugh eventually,

you know, minutes later. And then I see it's on Twitter just now. And CMBC used the same exact line as I did yesterday. How about that? Oh, yeah. Thieves, comedy thieves, Tepper Tantrum is a good joke. same exact line as i did yesterday have a bad he's uh... thieves comedy thieves temper tantrum is a good joke i don't think our show can do better than the last five minutes

and that's not what i was expecting once a great kody made the awkward claim that fifty years ago he touched people inappropriately i didn't think that while that we joke isn't that obviously that that that we joke. Isn't that obviously the joke? All right, we'll put. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah And obviously on a super rare superhero heater, he had a strong opinion about bourbon street and boobs and he gave you everything that he had and was so proud of himself that this is the end of the gymnastics routine where someone knows that they're going to get a 10 from the Olympic judges after four years of preparing for this moment and look at what Greg

Cody hits you with when he was at maximum confidence swagger. Oh, we're not. That's so good. So good. That's right. CB radio talk among truckers. Oh, we're not. 1040 big bear.

He's that. Oh, we're not. What is that? Over. What year was that used to be? I know, but when people come out, when you're quoting from like Smoky and the Bandit and the use of 1980 CB radio. Yeah, I used to be big. I was big into CB's and that's what we said. Nobody said goodbye. It's over and out. You know, that was over and out what's that that did he on the sp

that was a word about function i i don't think she it didn't seem like she meant to flash which shocked me was all these accounts reposting it without her consent without learning it i thought you media it was probably an accident well you never know over and out either way either way I stand by what I said whatever was I said your beef was more with ESPN feeling the need to apologize. Yeah, yeah, you don't need to put now that I remind you. You know, we got it. We already got you're not gonna do better than

you already did it. Thank you. We don't need to recover the ground. No, what I over and out was first used during the French Revolution in 1837 When people needed to communicate by primitive means Anything else that comes past this microphone out was my punctuation I need to explain to you that those are the ends of my thoughts over and out The other saying that I still don't have a good explanation for that needs to become a T-shirt, Billy, do you have any theories here? Greg Cody's whole thing of you gotta learn,

you gotta earn. I don't know what all that is, what it means. I don't know the origins of it. I, he's trying to make it popular again. Can someone- I get it right, what is it? Please. I didn't say that on air.

It's gotta learn, gotta learn. He it right, will you? What is it, please? I didn't say that on air. It's gotta wanna learn, gotta wanna earn. He keeps saying, it sounds like a gata, but it's not gata. It's guy don't wanna, right? Yeah, guy don't wanna learn. Yeah, guy don't wanna learn. Gotta wanna earn. I heard gata, so I don't wanna learn. Gotta learn, gotta wanna earn.

This sounds like something one of your drunk friends just said at one point. It's correct. That is exactly right. Well, there's the origin. There it is, all right, I didn't wanna earn. This sounds like something one of your drunk friends just said at one point. It's correct. That is exactly right. Well, there's the origin. There it is. I didn't know that. Fine.

I'm glad we got an answer to that. Excellent. The great Larry Grim. Thank you, Larry. Speaking of... Thank you, Reaper. Thank you, Larry. Thank you.

Hey, what are you thanking me? What were you? Larry Legend. What's grooming up to now, Greg? Speaking of drunk friends, Jessica, conquered bar trivia, and there are few better feelings than crushing a bar at... Could stop there.

Nonsense information. It was the best night of my break by far. And it was not only just bar trivia. It was in my hometown. I felt like the main character in a story coming back from the big city, wind whipping my hair. And I walk into the bar on a cold night and all the Christmas lights are on.

And we sit at the table and they say, do you want to do bar trivia? And I said, yes, I do. Why not? I had to convince my dad and Lehman to play with me. And we competed against 14 different teams. And when final trivia came along, we knew we were in third place and we wagered all of our points on what's the largest Scandinavian country.

And we knew it was Sweden. And we ended up tied for first place. And the final question to tie break to win the $30 gift cards to the ball. This is overtime? This is overtime. Wow. Was a sports question.

And it was a sports question about what year did the Denver Nuggets change their name from the Rockets? And I had absolutely no idea. But luckily, This sounds like a Lehman. Because our team span generations, my dad and Lehman pinned it down to the decade. They said this was in the 70s.

But guess what? The team that was tied with us, the guy at their table said, I lived in Denver and in Houston. I know this one. So we were panicking, but they guessed wrong. And we won $30 to the bar. Wow. Nice.

Congratulations. What year was it? I think it was 1974, and we guessed within30 to the bar. Wow. Nice. Congratulations. What year was it? I think it was 1974 and we guessed within like four years and they were like 10 years off. Now, when you do trivia at a bar, there are two types of people. I'm going to get a lot of these questions right, and I'm going to try to answer a lot,

and there's a person that just sits back and waits for their time to shine. I don't know a lot of answers, but I'm going to know the important one late in this game. That's me. You could all guess that, but I'm gonna know the important one late in this game. That's me. You could all guess that, but I'll get that one answer that no one else knows. In a big spot.

A big spot is nothing better than that. The key is to have a diversity amongst your team and at least a couple aspects. The couple idiots. Well, you do. I meant more so, like, generationally, because one of the questions was about, Greg, you would have nailed this one.

It was about, like, the New Year's Eve shows and who's hosted them and what locations and stuff like that. And, Lehman and I were like, what, all we know is Andy Cohn and Anderson Cooper, talk about John Mayer and his b***** bar. But, my dad knew, oh, Dick Clark, they had a location in LA. Dick Clark, that's right.

I would have never gotten that. No, I'd have gotten that. Do you think Ryan C. Cress is a little little over it being called Dick Clark's rockin New Year's Eve? Put it on the pole. At what point does it become Ryan Seacrest ever? Put it on the pole, Juju at Levitage show is Ryan Seacrest tired of it being Dick Clark's rockin New Year's Eve? It's like when college sports teams endow a position and then they have to announce like Marcus Freeman the dick Corbett Notre Dame head football coach every time because that guy paid for it But it's kind of like the Super Bowl at what point does the Lombardi trophy become the Bella check trophy, huh?

Hmm, so think about that's a good point. I feel like it's nothing like that Yeah, also It's an excellent analogy. I would like to also posit this I won the neighborhood Turkey trot last month, which I don't even think I ever announced that on the other month. It was a five K. It was 3.1 miles. I won in my age group.

I'm now one trivia. I don't know what the third thing in the suburban triple crown is, but I feel like I'm about to hit the triple crown. I'll tell you, you're not gonna be able to because Greg Cody has already nominated himself Commissioner of the holiday season. If that were still available to you, you could have the Holy Trinity of victories,

but unfortunately Greg Cody, I don't know what- What'd be available in a few years? I don't know, whoa. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Retiring? Yeah, like the president's president for four years. What are you thinking? The holiday season needs a commissioner?

I think we all know that I don't know if it needs one No, the poll juju does the holiday season need a commissioner holiday season a lot of people think of the holiday season Beginning with Halloween going through Thanksgiving and then through you know Christmas in Hanukkah I'm gonna say this every holiday, you know I'm gonna make a ruling for Easter some years, for example. But the main ruling I'm gonna start with is this, because it's gift giving season, right? A bullish gift cards and gift bags, okay?

That's lazy. Work it. Put a little effort into your gift giving. Work it, okay? I don't want a gift card. If you're giving me a gift card, you might as well just open your wallet and pull out a hundred bucks and cash and hand it to me. And I'll hand you a hundred bucks and cash in return

instead of a gift card. It's pointless, it's ridiculous. And the gift bag, you know, half of the art of gift giving. And this is one thing, perhaps the only thing, Christopher will give me credit for, I'm an expert gift wrapper. I know how to use the tape. I know how to put a fine crease on the gift wrapping.

People take, it takes 20 minutes to open one of my gifts because people can't get through the wrapping. People need like a knife or scissors to get through the wrapping, because it's so tightly wrapped. It's a work of art. No gift bags, no gift cards. The commissioner has spoken.

Holiday season, commissioner. That's right, over and out. You said we need a commissioner. You appointed yourself. I did. I dismounted with the wrong thing. You got to learn, I'm gonna learn Over and out

Don Lebertard Number three, Chick-fil-A waffle fry I love it I think it's an overrated fry You guys go catch up or Chick-fil-A sauce When you have the Chick-fil-A Paul and Eusion sauce Paul and Eusion bet that's my brother right there

Good call You're my brother right there. Good call. You're my brother. Stugats! Oh my god. What a weird interaction. WAAAAAAY guys! WAAAWWAAAAY! Wow.

This is the Dan Limita show with a Stugats! Greg Cody, you have brought it today. You have been very strong today. I eagerly tell the audience to support what you do by going to the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody with podcasts and also going to MiamiHerald.com and reading his story about his late mentor, Jim Marts. Before we go any further, and I will tell the audience again, that if you want the more serious hot button topic

of the day stuff that Aaron Rogers has partaken in and Jason Whitlock has partaken in, we will get to that shortly with an assortment of people who are not the rodeo clowns that we have here. Smart people. Just people who want to talk about other things. Got it. And I'd like to discuss other things with them.

But Greg Cody, on your day, we have a featured segment for you that is back in my day. Do you have one of those today? Is it Tuesday? No, that's not right. No, that's Wednesday. Yep. Come on Dan, you know better than that. You tell. Contractually. I mean, it's a Tuesday joint. You said that when we came back for the new year that you would have them ready because you've taken like several months off. He will every Tuesday.

Right. Well, I didn't He will every Tuesday. Right. Well, I didn't come back on Tuesday. Wasn't of my doing, I got a call from one of your filanques of executive producers and they said, can you do it Wednesday instead of Tuesday? Five dollars. I checked and I could. And so that's why I'm here on a Wednesday.

As a kid, I used to call it Wednesday. I didn't know how to do it. I did that too. See, it's like a spell. Yeah, a wednest day. We're the almost genetic. Wednest day. Did you do connecticut, too?

I don't know what that means. How you spell connecticut. Oh, connecticut. You know how I, this is true though. I learned to spell by doing it phonetically. I learned to spell Europe by going EU-ROPEY. I swear. That's why I became a good speller as a kid.

I pronounced everything phonetically, so learn me how to spell it. Did one learn, did one earn. Isn't it EU-ROPE? I mean, it should have been EU-ROPE. But I went EU-ROPEY so that I knew it ended up in E. Okay. Yeah. Row. But I went E.U. Ropey so that I knew it ended up in E. Okay. Yeah. I swear. Chris Cody, do you have the sound please of Dan Campbell? I've not heard this. Is he arguing

with local radio people? What's happening here with Dan Campbell? Because again, I cannot get enough of making that violence for people to eat up their bodies in pursuit of fame and glory and money about procedural errors made by the official the officials and the arbiters what do we have here from Dan Campbell give me a set up we have the host of this local show in Detroit kind of talking about that final play in his decision to just go for no matter what and he could sense that they were wanted to be critical so he kind of just says hey say what you really want to say here in it it gets a little uncomfortable when you got the panel they moved it to say it say it both of you what say what you want to say I think

from the seven it's a low percentage play I think your chances of winning are lower than if you kick the extra part I would have I would say it anybody else I'm on the radio say it like you want to say it. Yeah. I thought it was a reckless decision. Thank you. But you don't regret it. No. Okay. I love that. I'm talking about those. Okay. I mean, I actually work by, I actually work by everyone now. Everyone involved. I mean, I thought it was a reckless decision thank you but you don't regret it no you should have gone no over and out that would have been beautiful where was he calling from was Dan was Dan the bathroom from a bathroom in a

submarine thank you I think your chances of winning are lower than if you kick the extra problem I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have I would have you kick the extra part. I would have liked you would say it to anybody else. I'm on the radio. Say it like you want to say it. Yeah, I thought it was a reckless decision. Thank you. It's a me. He's in a bathtub. I've got him in a bathtub just taking it on speaker.

Getting a good soak. Billy, I don't know what's going on with you entirely because as I've told the audience here for a while now, you are coming to the end of a magnificent award-winning and exhausting season of God Bless Football. Chasing your two kids around the house is plenty hard. A harder still is chasing stugots around the globe, trying to get completed God Bless Football so it could be an award-winning vehicle.

Can you explain to me if all of this is why you want the return of Zoom School? Like what is it? Oh, no, that's not related at all. Why do you want the return of Zoom schooling? Because I would think you'd want the kids out of the house not around, so that you could get a moment to breathe that's not hiding in the bathroom.

To be honest with you, I hadn't taken into account my own personal situation with my children in the fact that they would also be home, because that does change things. But the last couple days, no one's been on the road, because school is out. And you know what, we were talking about at the office and someone threw out there, you know what I miss zoom school and was like, this person is actually very right about this. Because here's a thing, right? Our kids actually interacting with each other. No, they're just texting each other and zooming anyway. So why don't you just do that from home? No one wants to interact with humans anymore. It's not what people are doing. What is this? The 80s? I would think. Over and out.

That one of the most important parts of schooling in general is young kids interact and we're not exactly doing that anymore. They're not doing it anymore. What are you talking about? They're not interacting anymore. Everybody's just texting each other and face the time and you're talking.

They'll have talking. Bill is right. They'll have five friends over. They're sitting on the couch together and they're all on their phones. They're saying a word texting each other in face time. They'll have, they'll have, they'll have, they'll have five friends over, they're sitting on the couch together and they're all on their phones. They're saying a word to each other. Do it on Zoom. He's talking about at school.

Yeah, at school. What do you think of doing at school? You don't think they're playing on their phones all day? You think they're getting out of here? You think they're gardeners and first grades and second graders are playing on their phones? Yeah, maybe in like high school, they're doing that. Right, come on.

Bill, you're right. And Chris, where you and I witnessed that. You had your daughter's sixth birthday party the other day. And I was there. And there were, you know, 10 girls who were all that same age. The interaction between them was magical to watch. They were hugging. They were dancing. They were, they could not have been enjoying each other's company more. And that's what you miss now cut that shit out What do you mean that's what they missed they did that this way like I'm not missing that it happened I'm saying if if you have not against homeschooling but if you have homeschooling if you have zoom schooling

That's what the kids miss. Yeah, well green or disagreeing with Bill. No, he's agreeing with me Here's a thing though. I said what I said. That's exactly right. I said it. Thank you, Greg. Over and out. Mm-hmm. You're setting them up for a ridiculous life that's not going to be real. Guess what? In four years, and this is just a larger conversation that we need to have. And I'm going to tell this to kids right now and kids if you're listening and parents,

if you want to be responsible parents, take your kids away. Here's a thing. Seventh, eighth grade friendships. You're never going to talk to those people again, all right? When you're writing in the yearbooks, keep in touch, you'll be friends forever, no you won't. You're never gonna see these people again. Every single person who was at my bachelor party

was a friend from Seventh grade. Okay, great, well, you don't have the ability to make new friends there, exactly right. What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, I'm sending myself to the penalty box. What does it mean? Why are you getting sent to the penalty box for maintaining friends with these people?

I'm from maintaining friends with them. He heard his feeling, he saw you leaving. That's not the way the penalty box works. That's how the therapy counts. That's how life works. We are slowly breaking Jeremy. Six, seven months ago, one of the nicest people I've ever met. Something's changed with him.

I think we've changed him. We're preparing him for life. We're hardening him for the realities of the real world. And that's what you should be doing with these children. Keep them on Zoom, put them on the phones, because guess what? You're all friends, and you're playing with humans when you're four, five, or six years old.

In the real world, you're not going to talk to humans in real life. It's like when you have an older sibling who's like, I'm going to bully you to prepare you for other people. Like you'd rather me do it and toughen you up. I did that with my older sister constructive bullying thank you put it on the poll please juju do you have any friends still from seventh and eighth grade my answer to that question is no I would agree with

Billy there are no friends that I still keep in contact with from seventh or eighth grade yeah I don't either I do Ith grade. Yeah, I don't either. I do. Should I go to the penalty box? Well, I don't know why maintaining a friendship. So you can't make new friends. It was a strange pivot by Billy to box Jeremy in with, you have too many friendships that are old and dated and you've atrophied and you can't make new friends.

You also shouldn't have more than like three friends if we're going to be honest. That's too many. So true. What? It's true. Okay, well, since you put it that way. Over and out.
