Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. That's my jam. With Sunwing's first dibs on summer savings, let us curate something stronger than what you've been listening to. Because while your playlist screams, I need a vacation. My algorithm suggests book before March 30th. Remember, Sunwing, save more, do more. Book with your local travel advisor or at sunwing.ca. Now's a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began.
Starting point is 00:00:45 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.
Starting point is 00:01:01 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. Cuervo. The tequila that invented tequila. proximo.
Starting point is 00:01:14 cuervo.com. Please drink responsibly. 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.
Starting point is 00:01:43 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.
Starting point is 00:02:03 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,
Starting point is 00:02:20 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.
Starting point is 00:02:50 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?
Starting point is 00:02:59 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.
Starting point is 00:03:11 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?
Starting point is 00:03:27 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
Starting point is 00:03:41 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.
Starting point is 00:03:56 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.
Starting point is 00:04:25 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.
Starting point is 00:04:51 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
Starting point is 00:05:18 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
Starting point is 00:05:45 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.
Starting point is 00:06:10 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.
Starting point is 00:06:20 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?
Starting point is 00:06:51 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.
Starting point is 00:07:40 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
Starting point is 00:08:37 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.
Starting point is 00:09:05 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
Starting point is 00:09:29 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.
Starting point is 00:10:10 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
Starting point is 00:10:24 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.
Starting point is 00:10:52 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
Starting point is 00:11:22 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
Starting point is 00:11:58 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.
Starting point is 00:12:26 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,
Starting point is 00:12:45 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,
Starting point is 00:13:01 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.
Starting point is 00:13:15 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.
Starting point is 00:13:37 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
Starting point is 00:14:09 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
Starting point is 00:14:41 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
Starting point is 00:15:13 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
Starting point is 00:15:50 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.
Starting point is 00:16:45 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
Starting point is 00:17:13 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.
Starting point is 00:17:39 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.
Starting point is 00:18:11 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,
Starting point is 00:18:32 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.
Starting point is 00:18:46 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, one to responsibly speak to you about my favorite time, Miller time. Look, a lot of things are coming back in the season.

Hey friends it's Jerobar here and I'm here to tell you all about 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.
Starting point is 00:21:36 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.
Starting point is 00:22:12 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.
Starting point is 00:22:26 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.
Starting point is 00:22:51 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?
Starting point is 00:23:13 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.
Starting point is 00:23:42 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
Starting point is 00:24:12 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.
Starting point is 00:24:33 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
Starting point is 00:25:09 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
Starting point is 00:25:38 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.
Starting point is 00:25:54 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.
Starting point is 00:26:30 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.
Starting point is 00:27:05 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
Starting point is 00:27:22 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.
Starting point is 00:27:51 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
Starting point is 00:28:15 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.
Starting point is 00:28:32 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
Starting point is 00:29:05 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.
Starting point is 00:29:34 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.
Starting point is 00:29:53 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
Starting point is 00:30:09 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
Starting point is 00:30:25 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?
Starting point is 00:30:50 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
Starting point is 00:31:10 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.
Starting point is 00:31:33 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
Starting point is 00:31:46 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.
Starting point is 00:32:24 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
Starting point is 00:32:57 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
Starting point is 00:33:29 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
Starting point is 00:34:08 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
Starting point is 00:34:45 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.
Starting point is 00:35:00 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!
Starting point is 00:35:21 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
Starting point is 00:35:42 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.
Starting point is 00:36:12 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.
Starting point is 00:36:39 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
Starting point is 00:36:55 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
Starting point is 00:37:29 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
Starting point is 00:38:03 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
Starting point is 00:38:29 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,
Starting point is 00:38:53 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
Starting point is 00:39:18 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
Starting point is 00:39:48 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.
Starting point is 00:40:24 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.
Starting point is 00:40:49 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.
Starting point is 00:41:14 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.
Starting point is 00:41:31 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
Starting point is 00:41:47 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.
