My algorithm suggests book before March 30th.
Remember, Sunwing, save more, do more.

Now's a good time to remember
where Tequila's story truly began.
In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila.
Cuervo.
What are you doing here?
Cuervo.
Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like, Cuervo.
I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.
Sweet, delicious Cuervo.
Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.
The same family, the same land, the same passion.
Cuervo.
So enjoy the tequila that started it all.
Cuervo.

This is the Don Leventor Show with the StuGuts Podcast. Cass. Amin Elhassen has written in and he is pissed off.
He writes, Amin Elhassen of Oddball, this LeBron conversation is wildly irresponsible
and then he hits me with the hammer.
Shame on you.
Oh, damn.
He took shame and he threw it on me.
I am now draped in shame because Amin says
that I'm wildly irresponsible for simply saying
when faced with something unprecedented,
do you ever ask any questions?
Because I'm not accusing anybody of anything.
I want to make that clear.
You haven't talked to anybody.
But if you had to guess and be right But if you had to guess and be right,
if you had to guess and be right,
if it was a game show, you gotta be on it.
You have to put $10,000 on it either way.
Which way are you doing it?
Wildly irresponsible.
Yeah, I sort of, I'm on team El Hassan here.
But if you had to put $10,000 on it,
which way are you putting it?
Greg, he did stop being a journalist recently.
Yeah, that's true too. That's true. true you're right I haven't accused anybody of anything there will
be no clip of me accusing anyone of anything here gave a platform to an
accuser though and you ran with it I gave a platform she's talking about the
chaels on it I gave a platform to an accuser. This is your magnum opus when it comes to shit-stirring.
Ameen will join us tomorrow, by the way.
Okay, great.
In studio.
All right, excellent.
He wasn't gonna, but we're calling him in.
Yeah!
You're doing this in March.
People are gonna seize on this.
You know what you're doing.
Seize on what?
You're doing this in March.
Not telling you how to think.
He's just asking.
I haven't made any accusations.
There will be no shame placed on me,
no matter what Amin is doing with his surplus of shames
that he dishes out.
Look at you.
Look at me and my eyes telling me
you don't know what you're doing.
I mean, come on.
What am I doing?
I played sound from Chael Sonnen saying what Chael Sonnen said.
You can make up your own mind on what you think.
But it's not news.
How long ago did Chael Sonnen, was that pre-pandemic?
It might've been after,
cause Andrew Schultz was in the frame,
but I know he did this pre-pandemic too.
What's your deal with LeBron?
Yeah, so you're taking out his family today,
you're accusing him of PEDs, what's going on here?
Did neither of those things.
Today is the fifth anniversary of COVID
being declared a national emergency.
So is today the day that Rudy Gobert started touching on?
That happened on Saturday.
Which was-
It's a Dono day for me.
Yeah, which was also the five year anniversary
of Donald Trump saying there are 15 cases,
it's gotta get down to zero real quick.
I want to show the audience
what shame should be on the audience
by going to this boost mobile line again.
The telephone number is 305-486-GOTS.
I'm very disappointed over the course of us farming out the creativity to a competitive
community that what we've gotten back that gets assembled by Taylor is just an assortment
of songs about Michael Doliak and an assortment of takes that haven't been up to snuff.
Let's play the latest batch. Michael Doliak and an assortment of takes that haven't been up to snuff.
Let's play the latest batch.
Hey, this is Paulie from Madison, Wisconsin, and it's occurred to me that Sean Penn is
finally old enough to start collecting a Penn Sean.
What up guys?
Jwarren from Virginia, first time, long time.
Calling to let everyone know that my personal record book,
Philadelphia Eagles have four championships.
They beat two of the best quarterbacks of all time.
Those should count for two rings.
Eagles, four rings, Kevin Durant, none.
Hey Dan, this is Ben from North Dakota.
And anyone that buys, consumes, or enjoys Peeps
should be jailed and put on a watch list.
This is Jay from Rochester,
New York and this is my limited to fake Ray Romano. Hey, this is Tyler from Michigan. My hot take is
that Greg Cody was right. The Dolphins should have traded Dan Marino. They would have got a King's
Ransom in return and maybe they would actually had a decent defense. I'll hang up and listen. Hey Dan, first time, long time.
James Gladstone, sounds like the name of a character
from the board game Clue.
You know, like James, James Gladstone is guilty of murder
in the kitchen with the candelabra.
You know, like Clue.
Long time caller, first time listener.
If a regular person wears denim on denim
We call it a Canadian tuxedo, but if Lenny Kravitz wears it we call it sexy. Thanks. I'll hang up and listen
That phone line has international access
Everyone in the world can call and be creative. Where is your snuff?
Because I felt like that was up to it.
It was good.
Sean Penn earning a pin Sean was terrible.
Yeah.
I had to talk that one out.
I didn't get it at first.
I had to tell Mike.
And I was like, wow.
Penta.
The Boost Mobile boldest take from the weekend
is presented by Boost Mobile,
the newest 5G network in the country.
I think this is my favorite segment.
Put it on the poll please at LeBittard Show.
Should anyone who consumes peeps be jail please at LeBittard show should anyone who
consumes peeps be jailed at LeBittard show how do we feel about the fake Ray
Romano ah one guy said first long time caller first time listener yeah I
believe that was probably on purpose I love that I have the origins before you ask of up to snuff.
Wow.
Because it's a ridiculous thing to say.
What is the snuff that we're up to?
It originated in the early 19th century in England.
Initially, it referred to someone being sharper aware
with snuff referring to finely ground tobacco
that people would inhale through their noses.
Did any Doleac song sneak into the Boost Mobile line?
Doleac, he's six feet from the rim,
and I'm thinking maybe six feet is close enough.
Doleac, a couple bounces on the rim, So that finally ground tobacco would get in people's noses and give people kind of a buzz.
And so like, if you said something was up to snuff, I don't like something else
It would be you know, you'd be alert it would get your head on swivel Mike Mike Mike Mike
Dole the act Mike Mike Mike Mike Dole the dole the act
Bro, it's court not bad
Really not black You can't have another one. I wanna be the very best like Michael Dolyak
Ba na na the best center from east to west
Even playing behind Chuck
Da da da well traveled across the league
Basically played for every team
Da na na but then he came to Miami
51 he got that ring.
Doleac, you gotta pick and roll in the hoop,
Crippin' over your giant shoes.
Doleac, oh, you're my best friend,
Even more the Wraith's little friend.
Doleac. Even more than race, my friend, Doliak.
Is that a Pokemon song?
Yeah.
The kids are loving it.
The Pokemon theme song.
We're skewing younger there.
Mike Ryan mentioned not being able to keep up with some of the free agent moves, so I
will just tell you that Josh Sweat is now an Arizona Cardinal.
Josh Palmer is a Bill, and I'm curious here, have you guys shaken off
the memory of Laramie Tunsell when you do word association?
Laramie Tunsell has been a very good tackle for a long time.
Have you guys shaken off the memory of his draft day?
One of the funnier things to ever happen on a draft day where his draft stock slipped because he was wearing a gas mask filled with marijuana smoke and
evidently all the teams ran away.
I remember having a conversation with Adam Gase after that in which he thanked me for
being on television talking about how stupid it was that his stock dropped because he was being blackmailed
and he was obviously and is a very good player.
He's now in Washington.
He goes for four picks.
It makes sense that you would protect your young quarterback
by investing.
It would for Houston, wouldn't it?
Yes.
It would for Houston and they give up.
They get four picks from Washington
because they're going to protect Jaden but has he erased the the stigma or the laughter
from the first you now associate Laramie Tunsel with excellent offensive line
no it's still the word association yeah I don't judge it. And Gasmask. It was like oh the
Gasmask thing he ended up being a good player yeah but it's I always lead
Gasmask. He'll never escape that. It's also he was like the Dolphins fans,
I think look at him as the trade
that got us waddle and Tyreek Hill.
He's been a good player for a long time.
It was silly that his, I mean, in retrospect,
pretty silly for that to be what costs you draft.
Do you think, cause you remember how it broke.
It broke like draft night.
Yeah. As they're talking about him and he starts, everyone's wondering well if
this is out what else is there going on? This is bad judgment so you can
understand the slide as that's breaking and people are it's catching all these
front offices by surprise. All it takes is a rumor sometime let alone visual
evidence that's why Dan Marino dropped to the at number two wait a minute it what wait a minute though the rumors
are never marijuana dan marino dropped because of other rumors like it was it's
the the rumors are never marijuana we are not in a space anymore where
marijuana has that stigma that was a blackmail attempt that was effective in
that it did what it was
supposed to do but only because these front offices that are always requesting
the courage of others ran scared from something unpredictable when they're
trying to do all their planning and everything we can agree though that any
player who is coming up in the draft who has marijuana issues is no longer a
stigmatized player correct but but but we're talking about
whatever it was eight or ten years ago six eight years ago i think the stigma
has really lifted
just in that but football dot football doesn't even make this something that
they're testing for anymore at the time at the time that i am that would have
been a problem.
Greg and Billy are absolutely right.
You're fresh off Josh Gordon being the best wide receiver
in the league, losing his entire career to the stuff.
We are in agreement now, though, that it was stupid, yes?
Or we're not in agreement that it was stupid?
I mean, it was pretty extreme, the gas mask.
It was all very shocking to learn.
I don't blame a single, especially eight years ago,
a single front office to be like, OK, this guy's not on our board right now. We don't blame a single, especially eight years ago, a single front office to be like,
okay, this guy's not on our board right now.
We don't know what the hell this is.
At the time, it wasn't stupid,
because you had no idea if he was even gonna be able
to play for you if you drafted him.
Okay, but the reason that I say it's stupid
is because look at how obviously he's an excellent player.
He's still going for draft picks, four draft picks,
and he's been in the league for how long?
Like, this is...
But it's the NFL Draft. There's other excellent players on your board that you have evaluated. going for draft picks, four draft picks, and he's been in the league for how long? Like this is...
But it's the NFL Draft.
There's other excellent players on your board that you have evaluated.
You have 10 minutes to decide.
Like, hey, 10 minutes, you're splitting hairs between Laramie Tunsel and this other offensive
lineman.
Just as background, a video hit the internet five minutes ago of him smoking weed with
a gas mask, and we don't know where it's coming from, or if this is the tip of the iceberg,
if this is a blackmail attempt.
Either way, go ahead and tie your future to this guy.
Yeah, the tiebreaker is let's not take the guy
wearing a gas mask.
Okay, you say tiebreaker, but this guy was seen
as a top five talent as offensive lineman.
The skill set is not all things being equal.
He's better than almost anybody else
who played the position in the draft.
Right, I get where you're coming from and you're looking at it from now
Hindsights 2020 like you're being pretty flippant with the career of a front office executive that has climbed his entire career and all of a
sudden is my first round pick
This is my first biggest GM my jobs on the line. Like I don't know if I can do this
I'm not being flippant. I'm asking for people whose job it is to find value and have vision to find value and have vision
That's all I'm asking for do your job
But the first five picks were Jared Goff Super Bowl champion Carson Wentz Joey Bosa Ezekiel Elliott Jalen Ramsey
Those are except for like one I think all good place Ronnie Stanley just signed a big deal
Ronnie Stanley ended up being a good player if someone if the tiebreaker between ronnie stanley and larry me
tonsil was that the gas mask video the person made a good call on ronnie stanley
i was doing offensive lineman i wasn't doing all positions i was just doing you
need an offensive line in jack conklin and ronnie stanley one of the ahead of
them the only tackle was ronnie stanley went before him
the only thing we disagree on
is that
you're not recognizing or admitting that nine years
ago the stigma against marijuana use in the NFL was much more onerous than it is today.
It's not that I'm not acknowledging that, it's that I'm always asking leadership to
risk unpopularity because that's what leadership does.
But it's more than unpopularity when there are consequences to him failing drug tests and not being able to play
On the field. It's also not just what leadership does they do other things. It's not alright. I'm a leader
I'm going to risk unpopularity. That is my form of leadership
No, that's one of the things that I can do if I have my convictions
But my job is a front office executive in the NFL is to get the best player, the one that's not going to explode, the one that isn't going to make my team worse.
And I think learning that on the fly, we're really re litigating this is a weird time.
Well, I just do believe that things have changed so much in this country that it is worth looking
back at how silly we were back then about things, especially when I'm starting the show,
shrugging my shoulders,
even though Amin says shame on me and it's widely irresponsible, by understanding that
drug use in the pain sports is going to be something that is so, and the people who lord
over those sports know this, know how many self-medicators there are. Know before they draft some of these people where the holes
and weaknesses are and I just don't think there should ever be a lot of or should have ever been
a lot of fear of whatever it is you think marijuana is because you're a leader and you're an old person
and you're not someone who is thinking clearly about how it is that consequences and risk
need to be managed when you're in a leadership position. And you're saying to me that you want
these people to, you know, that they're worried about their job or that they're making decisions
because their careers are in jeopardy. All of the decisions are those.
Like every single one of the decisions that they're making
that are the big decisions are things that risk your job.
And too often, what ends up happening with executives
in sports is they just do what everyone else does
because they're afraid.
And it's not what I want from my leadership.
I agree with you that in the clarity of retrospect
the miami dolphins made a fabulous draft pick by taking told uh... tonsil despite
that uh... that image
of him wearing a gas mask but
without that thirty retrospect in real time
it was more than just the marijuana aspect
just uh... an alien visual.
And you're wondering, that draft night, the whole league had to be wondering, what the hell is he wearing?
What's his mental health issue?
I mean, a lot of stuff went into just the jarring photo of that.
But you guys say the entire league, it went from 5 to 13.
So they still invested millions and
millions of dollars in the pick eight picks later like the thing you guys are
talking about it's fine at 13 but five nah-hah too much for me too much for me
I just think it's good like looking back like the positions along the offensive
line you could argue they've had better careers in Laramie Tunsel so it's okay
like yeah I guess that's part of leadership too, but it worked
out for Laramie Tunsil, it worked out for the Miami Dolphins, it was a different time.
It's like, the stigma around marijuana and that, like, fresh off the Josh Gordon thing
and in this country has evolved totally.
I mean, Laramie Tunsil will be beloved by Miami Dolphins fans forever just for all of
the value that they got once they traded him.
Like, they rebuilt their entire team
by trading Laramie Tunsel.
If you look at all the picks that they got,
it led to Tyreek, it led to a ton of people,
just Laramie Tunsel.
A ton of people and no playoff victories.
Super true.
What is Houston doing in particular?
Like they got four, but like.
We started today, we're taking out Dan Marino,
we took out Pudge, and we went after LeBron James.
These are all local luminaries.
Exactly right, the Panthers, we start talking about Eglad.
Well, that deserves it, it's Brad Marshawn.
Oh no, we also took out Messi, didn't we?
Today's show is called Reckless.
Howdy folks, it's Mike Ryan,

Boost Mobile which is now a legit nationwide 5g network so I must take a
break from the jokes here for a second and
put on my serious voice.
Because I would never ever joke about a 5G network that has invested billions building
5G towers across the country.
Not even once.
Not even if Mr. Boost Mobile himself asked me to.
There is nothing funny about it. Boost Mobile is now a legit nationwide 5G network
and also provides coverage across 99% of America. Seriously. Visit BoostMobile.com or your nearest
Boost Mobile store location to learn more. The Boost Mobile network, together with our
roaming partners, covers 99% of the US population. 5G speeds not available in all areas.
Don Lebatard.
I went in the margins.
I'm like, I'm like.
You're money ball of sex.
I'm basically Scott Hattaberg.
A lot of w-.
Stooguts.
A lot of walks, but I'm on base.
When it comes to sex.
A lot of foul tips.
Other, other dudes, they can be Giambi. You know your role, you play well.
I know my role.
This is the Don LeBethard Show with the Stugats.
Speaking of local luminaries,
Ron McGill is a
local and a national
luminary.
He had his feast with the beast this past weekend.
We have some photographs here of many people.
Tony went and Billy went and Greg was mad
because he went but Chris Cody flaked
and Greg was mad at his son for not making it.
I wanted him to drive me there.
So I mean, I have a cocktail.
He says I flaked.
Not worry about having a cocktail. The zoo is a long way away. I never could make it
I didn't flake I texted Ron early in the was run next to my wife. Was that Ari Auzer?
It is Ron McGill has only media friends. It is
All of his all of his friends are in the media
Do you have any top friends who aren't in the media, Ron?
Anybody who isn't somebody who can help serve you
in your role as ambassador for Zoom Miami?
I can't think of anybody off the top of my head.
It's all media people.
Your best friends are all media people.
Did I hear correctly on the Greg Cote Show featuring Greg Cote that that uh... you and ron mcgill are in talks on a
second book but you're a rumor but you're not sure whether or not you want
to do it and i did nothing's been signed but uh... we're talking about it runs
been in the publisher of in kind enough to approach me about that and it sounds
like a very very interesting uh... project do you want to share with us
anything or is it wrong what would you say about it i think i think it's it's it's it's kind of interesting actually uh... project do you want to share with us anything or is it wrong what would you say about it
i think i think it's it's it's it's kind of interesting actually uh... you know i
was approached on this project a while back uh... long time ago and i didn't
know not do it because i didn't think that i i could do it
uh... when they told me will talk to greg about it and i said great so do
but greats got a lot of his plate
uh... that make a long story short it's a book on sex and the animals.
It's gonna be, but it's gonna be more,
it's gonna be more of a photo book
that puts a lot less pressure on Greg having to write so much.
He's gonna write, don't get me wrong.
He's gonna do the narrative on it,
but the images will be the driving factor of this book.
So it's basically, this will not be a book
that you get for your kindergartner.
There you go, unlike The Pride of a Lion, which is very suitable for children particularly middle school
or you know that. That's right, as a matter of fact I'm heading over to Books
and Books tomorrow because I have to sign 770 more books that were just sold.
Whoa! That's a lot of books. I know. Wow, that's good, that's great to hear. we love the pride of a lion there's a lot of other very proud of that project and uh... and we look
forward to this next one should i agree to do it
it'll take some time
we just have we just had we just had are silent auction right
at the piece of the beast
this was one of the things which is that
photograph that i captured a signed photograph of of quasi the lion signed it
No, I signed it. What a beautiful lion then and then of course the book
Signed and I especially was asked to sign it with a special dedication. So I put a big dedication in there
Okay. Whoa. Wow. Yes, you know how much these people paid for that photograph in that book
I would love to know.
Five thousand dollars.
Wow.
That is why your endowment is as substantive as it is.
That's magic.
What's my cut of that, Ron?
I'm just curious.
That's zero dollars.
Get an endowment.
What I just got from that laughter is your cut is exactly zero dollars.
We're joined by shark apologist Ron McGill. Ron I saw a couple months
back it appeared to be sick a mako shark was just hanging in a lake in Hollywood and now I saw a
video yesterday on social media of a 12-foot mako shark swimming past a boat in Hollywood. Why are
makos who which are historically not found near Hollywood, Florida, hanging
around here now? We got great whites and we got Makos. This is not good.
Makos first of all are found throughout the ocean. They don't usually come close to shore.
They're more of a deep water shark. That's a tiger shark right there in that video. That's
not a Mako. That's a tiger shark. But anyway, I understand the effect that you want to give
here is, oh my God, my god sharks Everybody's gonna die. But these are new sharks and my entire life. They were never makos found in Hollywood ever
First of all Mike to say never is wrong
Okay
They've been off of the coast of Hollywood many times as a matter of fact charter fishermen to tell you they
Leave off the coast of Hollywood catch makos on a regular basis. Okay, well I apologize. I believe you, you have more facts on it.
I'd never say it though.
But the fact is you are now very laser focused on sharks.
So anytime a shark thing comes up,
you wanna prepare to come on the Levitard show
and hammer me about how sharks are gonna be
the end of the human race.
And you're so far from the truth on that.
You're so negative about an animal
that is so beneficial to the ocean,
which in turn is
beneficial to our quality of life, and I'm just telling you, listen, stop it Mike, just stop it.
Sharks are less dangerous than the damn car you drive to work. What is the video that we just
played? Lewis, do you want to show that again? What is the video? Because Mike went rogue there
and chose some video. I can tell by looking at the teeth that's a tiger shark.
Yeah, look at this killing machine. I've seen this video too because my algo is locked in
on these man killers.
So what is this doing? Why is this doing this the way that it is doing it?
Well, because he's being tormented. Can you see how the guy is grabbing the thing's snout
and he's trying to get the thing to bite so he gets a good video so he gets a lot of clicks
on a stupid social media platform.
Did you see that shark attacking anything?
No.
The shark was actually kind of laying back until the guy taps it on the snout and puts
the freaking surfboard or whatever he's got there in his mouth so he can get a good video
for social media.
Another freaking idiot.
Okay.
I hate when I get Ron this indignant.
I love it.
It's always, he's just a nice and decent and peaceful man.
Listen, I love it. He's just a nice and decent and peaceful man. I'm done with these
social media idiots who do whatever it takes for clicks at the expense of an animal. Breach.
I'm done with you defending sharks. They're killing machines. Let's play for Ron. He's
talked before about how I think it's gorillas eat berries and get drunk. Here are some lemurs. They are using some sort of millipede toxin
to get high.
What is happening here to this lemur?
This lemur, this is a millipede toxin
that prevents pests from biting,
and they're using it here to just do drugs.
Now, they're not trying to do drugs. What they're doing is they're using it here to to just do drugs. Now they're not trying to do drugs. What they're
doing is they're getting the thing to spray the the the secretion that causes a repellent for
insects and they rub it on their fur to keep the mosquitoes from biting them. Okay they're not
getting high Dan. They're actually doing so they bite it because when they bite it that that in
that anthropod the millipede squirts out that secretion, which then can be used as a repellent for insects.
So they bite it, they don't eat the thing,
they're not getting high on it, but when they bite it,
then they rub the millipede all over their fur
to get the secretion on their fur.
It's fantastic when you think about it,
how smart this animal is to utilize the biochemical
of another animal to help defend it against mosquito bites.
We should all be that smart, man.
Couldn't this be a two birds situation, you know?
It's keeping the mosquitoes away
and they're also getting high?
No, they're not getting high off of that chemical.
If they had enough of that chemical ingested,
it probably would kill them.
Ron, what's the dumbest thing that an animal will do
because they think it serves a purpose?
Like, before we were talking about how humans
used to sniff tobacco, right?
And it seems like humans, animals, whatever,
there's nothing that they won't sniff
or put in some part of their body, right?
To see if it does something.
So what is something that animals continue to do
that doesn't actually serve a purpose?
Well, they continue to put things in their mouth,
I mean, all the time.
Indiscretionary diet is what I call it.
Anybody, like I had a
miniature schnauzer. God, my God. As a matter of fact, I'm going to tell you what just happened.
This is the God's honest truth. My daughter just got off the phone with me. She has a miniature
schnauzer puppy. He's now, well now he's now about four months old. And last night she brought him
back from his walk out in Los Angeles, okay, in Studio City. And he just started, he started
looking like he was sick. He started losing his balance. She was all worried.
He started looking like he was going into a coma.
She immediately brought him to the veterinarian.
You know what happened to that dog?
He was chewing, he was chewing the remains of a doobie
that somebody threw out on the street.
He got chewed on marijuana.
Doobie.
Do you think he knew when he was trying to get high?
No, he just, these freaking dogs
will put everything in their mouth.
And he literally got high. It got to the point where my daughter thought he was going into some kind of you know neurological
backlash and the vet took this and said no this is exactly and she and the vet told her we get four or five dogs coming
In every week that do that that either lick the ash
That's left from a marijuana cigarette or actually actually the stub itself, they chew on it,
and they get freaking sick and high.
Get super hungry.
Is it possible that Ron,
maybe your daughter was puffing the magic dragon,
you know what I mean? Smoking a doobie.
And it wasn't a stranger, you know what I mean?
Like some of the ganja, if you will.
They smoke in another doobie.
You're making fun of me using the word doobie.
They don't use that word anymore?
Yeah, they do. Doobie brothers do.
They use it all the time.
Greg Cody has your back when it comes to
the pop culture lexicon you got that right hey Ron I read that cameras video
cameras were placed around the necks of a half dozen zebra and one of the things
they learned was that in the wild zebras and giraffes sometimes hang out together
for the mutual protection of both species. What
else can be learned from tagging animals or placing video cameras on them? Well
we first of all we learn what they eat. We learn that they prefer certain types
of grasses, certain types of foods. We learn what the conspecific, what other
species they hang out with, what's the environment they hang out with, you know.
What animals might be leaders, how they, is it a herd reaction to things or are
they individual reactions to things, you know, how they defend themselves, if an animal is being
attacked, if an animal is being predated on, what do they do to defend themselves? So we learn about
the behaviors and we also learn about range, you know, how much area does an animal need to adequately
survive, not adequately survive,
not just survive, but thrive in a natural environment? So those cameras provide a lot
of data. A lot of those cameras also have components in them that give us weather, temperature,
humidity, rain, all that kind of stuff. So we know the ideal environment that these animals
are looking for. Ron, Feats with the Beasts was incredible over the weekend. I do have a question
for you though. The tigers obviously, you know them by name
Are these the only Tigers on the planet that have heard Bad Bunny songs?
Because the bar was playing Bad Bunny was right next to where the Tigers were and they were very very
Interactive they're into it. They were into it
They were first they were sleeping kind of curled up
Then the Bad Bunny started then they kind of poked their head up and started walking closer to their little moat thing right there
they probably hated it and just kind of hung out they might have hated the music
but they were looking for the bunny if you know what I mean okay we don't know
what you mean we all are right at LeBittard show over under 65 years old
someone who uses the word doobie to refer to marijuana at LeBotard show
Do you know the butcher? Is that really that outdated? Nobody says doobie anymore?
They seem to react in a way that suggests I'm with you Ron. I don't know the
Yeah, look they
They love to judge others and when you have Greg Cody as your ally that is not what you want
Do you know what the do you know what the butcher bird is though Ron are you
familiar can you tell us okay I want to play a video for you here what can you
tell us about the butcher bird and what it is doing here with these lizards
where it impales them with with weaponry that's exactly why I guess the name the
butcher bird it actually will take its prey its lizard and it will use a spike
on a cactus or on a thorn plant and it will impale it on there to kill it so it doesn't struggle
and then it can go and eat it whenever it wants. And what would you say is the most creative of
these things that you have seen where an animal hides some of its food to keep it away from others?
Oh, I mean all kinds of animals. I've watched leopards make a kill
and they would immediately rip out the intestines
and the internal organs of that prey
and they bury the internal organs.
So they can take the prey,
the rest of the prey up to the tree.
But it's the internal organs that give off the most smell
and they don't wanna have to draw in hyenas
and other animals that will try to steal their prey.
So they do that.
Now, as far as tactics for eating,
like you see this butcher bird doing things,
there's a vulture that loves to eat ostrich eggs but can't get
into the ostrich eggs. So what it will do is it'll find a rock, it'll fly up really,
really high and it's able to literally put itself right above that ostrich egg and it
drops the rock so the rock falls and breaks the ostrich egg. Come on, that's really cool
stuff, man!
It is. When I've seen, there seen of there are sort of birds that do stuff
like that correct dot that is
there's a legal it will take a baby sham on assamian which is a type of like
mountain goat
to kill it
it grabs it flies up with his baby shaming and drops it along the
mountainside so it careens along the rocks and it gets crushed that way and
then it could go down there and beat on it without any resistance
really cool stuff i mean
it is but cool I want to make...
Shocking news out of Minnesota. A month ago, it was reported that Daniel Jones was told this job is yours.
Your QB won. But now Daniel Jones is on his way to Indianapolis to challenge Anthony Richardson for his job,
leaving JJ McCarthy as the only quarterback on Minnesota's roster.
For now. Thank you with that breaking news.
You made Greg Cody take a vigorous sip and enjoy spectating your news.
He look at you.
Do you have any opinions on this?
Instantly, I would say that Aaron Rodgers would be a good fit for Minnesota if they
think that McCarthy needs a year of healthy seasoning.
The Brett Favre train continues.
That would be shocking to see him in a Vikings uniform.
I mean the guy has become Brett Favre.
The same path.
Minus the picks, minus the dickers.
I read the, very true.
He hasn't done that one yet.
No, no, no.
But like it's an eerie similar path. What happens in the year stays in the year. Exactly right. Very true. That's a big one. He hasn't done that one yet. I thought you meant DraftKings. No, no, no.
But like I said, it's an eerie, similar path.
What happens in the year stays in the year.
Exactly right.
I have an announcement that has been, I want to say weeks and months in the making, but
it might be more than a year in the making.
So go ahead and put this graphic up for the folks who are viewing and listening live,
because you can catch us on DraftKings network Monday through Friday
11 to 2 p.m. Eastern you can get us more places than you ever have Samsung TV plus the Roku channel
Vizio watch free plus max and
Peacock and YouTube but for also Apple Spotify Amazon Sirius XM channel 85
But for right now if you're listening live,
we're gonna give you an opportunity
that most of those folks do not have
for an intimate event and you're gonna get,
I'm gonna guess, access that you're gonna want here
because I think these tickets are gonna sell very quickly.
On April 13th, we now have tickets for sale PoppyDominos.com
you've got Poppy coming out of retirement, Ricky Williams coming out of
retirement, and this is the biggest of the announcements, Ron McGill is going to
do his Sex and the Animals presentation on April 13th. That has sold out. How
many years running has that sold out for you ron because you uh... you had retired it but you were
doing it for how many years
there was twenty two years straight it's all out
all right so twenty two years straight i'm promising you this is going to sell
out because it always does and
you know i haven't done it for five years
uh... look this is a big deal here locally it is great it is and and we're
trying to keep this particular event
very intimate we don't want a whole lot of people there because we want to be
able to interact with you so tickets are now on sale
poppy dominoes dot com and what can you tell the people about this run because
you're rusty i can't believe
i can't believe you you used to do this on Valentine's day.
I guess I was at the last one and it was,
you were at the last one.
And it was right before the pandemic, right? Like right. And,
and so what can you tell the people about what it is they'd be getting here and
why it is? This is just one of the things we're going to have a bunch of
surprises. We're going to have live music.
We're going to have a Domino tournament. Greg Codyode is going to be there even though he doesn't know how
to play dominoes he's going to be playing uh... with his son he has no
idea so i know how i'll become a dominoes expert but the main reason i'm
going quite frankly is for book research for the sex and the animals thing
you know
bobby dominoes dot com what can you tell people about what they're going to be
getting and by the way i should mention this is a not-for-profit event all of the proceeds
are going to ron mcgill's substantive endowment so if we were going to have
at poppy dominoes dot com their stuff that you can buy stuff ron is done with
my brother others are sort of things all of the proceeds are going to ron's
endowment what can you tell us about what you're going to be doing april
thirteenth ron
well they're going to see things on the big screen there that that they have either thought about doing or have done
But they didn't want to tell anybody about it because they thought it was it was weird or it was kinky
That's a nice pretty natural because you're gonna see how the animals do it. Listen guys if you're coming here to you know be
Enlightened well, you're gonna be very humbled.'s going to be a very humbling evening for the guys.
You're going to see penises bigger than you've ever seen in your life.
You're going to see animals doing things that you wish you could do.
Ladies, you're going to wish you were an animal in a lot of these cases.
The bottom line is it's a very graphic.
I don't use any bad language, but it's very graphic photography.
I mean, I put cameras
where they have rarely gone before. I mean, I've been on my back underneath the rhino.
Whoa.
Yeah. I mean, no, no, no, no. The rhino wasn't on top of me. I was on my back underneath the
two rhinos so I can get the right perspective so people can see it the right way. Okay. People
want to see that kind of intimate stuff. Even though you don't want to admit it, you want to
see it. And after that night, you will never be able to unsee
it.
So I think this is true of all our parties. There's a lot of penis there. That tends to
be a recurring theme in our lives. But I'm not clear on what you're saying. This is a
good date night because this sounds more like-
It's a great date night. It's not a great first date night
unless she's really easy, okay?
But it is a great date night.
Great night.
It's a great date.
Listen, you're gonna learn about the zebra,
how the zebra can do things with its vulva, its vagina.
It can literally, it does this winking thing
that's unbelievable.
Listen, I've asked my wife if she could do it.
Originally she said it's impossible,
but she's making progress.
It's the kind of thing, it brings a whole new level.
A whole new, and it's just a great,
it's a great experience, man.
Boppydominoes.com is where you go.
These are gonna sell out quickly,
and we're only doing a few hundred.
We're only gonna do like 400 maybe,
and so I'm telling you right now,
you're getting an opportunity now
before other people get the opportunity
because I don't think these last through the day.
So Ron, thank you.
It's good seeing you, always good seeing you.
And we look forward to that.
It's coming out of retirement for the first time
in five years, sex and the animals,
not sex with the animals.
Thank you, Ron.
