You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Dunlabel Tarshou with the Stugat's Podcast. So I'm excited news for everybody. The Suis are starting next week. Those are the award shows we live our Oscars. Yeah, the ping. We relive all the great moments of the past year and we make some down in Montage,

make a bunch of categories for them. It's a really fun part and it always happens right before football season. So stay tuned for that. I wanna relive an anniversary that many of you may not be aware of. Today is the anniversary of this special pop culture moment that resonates to the States. Become a meme. Do you know what I'm talking about Greg? A email in person? No, I don't. Three years

ago, Tom Brennan was forced to make an on-air apology, and Nick Cassianos wasn't having any of it. Cassiano's to leave things off. Jim Day is going to be taking us the rest of the way through this game. As Holland takes over on the mound, I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the year that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have heard anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart, I'm so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith. As here's a drive in a deep left field by

Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that'll make it a four-nothing program. I don't know if I'm being put on this headset again. I don't know if it's going to be for the reds. I don't know if it's going to be for my bosses at Fox. I'm going to apologize for the people who signed my paycheck for the reds for Fox Fort so high for the people I work with, for anybody that I've offended here tonight. I can't begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am. That is not who I am and never has been. And I'd like to thank maybe I could have some people

that they can back that up. I am very, very sorry and I beg for your forgiveness. Jim Dale, take you to the rest of the way home. How many years is this anniversary? Three years. Three years. Anybody off the top of their head remember exactly what he said, what he was apologizing for.

Yes. Well, this is one of those, so the reason I was asking, because there's times where I start to wonder, it's like, hey, what was that again? And until you just hear the apology, I kind of forget this one, this one sticks right in there. Because if you remember that, I think they were doing a promo about San Francisco, something that's happening in San Francisco, and he said, the, can I say it? I don't think I can say it.

Should I say it? I don't. I don't say it. I don't say it. I don't say it. I don't say it. I don't say it. I don't say it. I don't say it. I don't say it. I'll say, the capital of the world, right? Something like that. And it's just like, man, that one was just, I'd hit the weight, the tone that he said it, it was just like, not his first time.

No, definitely not his first time. And then the fact that the home run happens immediately after he mentioned to the man of faith. As if he prayed for the home run. There it is. He hasn't gotten another shot. Was that the end? He was a big deal.

He was a lead baseball voice on Fox. He was part of the NFL coverage. Would Joe Buck departing? He might have been in that mix if this never happened to him. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith. As here's a drive in a deep left field by Castellanos. I'll let you home, right, when you hear the baseball and the crack of the bat, it's just a perfect sound.

He, uh, since then it's a since leaving the reds is according to his Wikipedia. He has served as a commenter for the Roberto Clemente league and for chatterbox sports. So not sure it did end his career. I'm essentially I would have assumed like live golf golf or big three, but okay, so he's he was done. That did him in. When I said, I'm not sure if I'm going to put on these headsets again, then there was something to that. Does that make this the most famous home run call ever? Because I was thinking about this the other day and if the video team has that other home run call, it'd be great. I'll put a shot around the world.

That like, yeah, because I mean, this is a way to tell the baseballs dying, like the home run call was kind of like a broadcaster's dream, right? It was a situation that you practiced for and stuff. And now I can't remember a home run call. I can't remember anything that they really say on sports center for home runs. Like the guys used to say back in the day, you know, all the meats and cheeses and everything else. Bartender, jack.

That's that's one of the last few that I can remember. And this is how I know it was dying because there was this terrible, terrible home run call from 2019 that if you guys had heard it, it would have been a fixture, I believe, as part of the show, if Dan were here. But I don't know if we have that sound, do we have that sound?

You probably don't have that sound. What sound are we talking about? It's all the St. Louis Cardinals. It's called Rocky's Home Run game. I can get that to you. Home Run Call. And it is, if I were to close my eyes and imagine two people graduating from the Stugots School of Broadcasting

and were then going to an audition, let's say, in a minor league game and calling a home run call, this, that sound, this sound that they eventually will play for you, and I'm not doing a good enough job with this, but sounds like two people who failed out of Stugas. I just email it, Chris. I just email you the sound. We'll get to that in a minute.

Do you think if the, we had so much going on in our lives at the time that the Brennan thing happened that we were not going to make him the topic de jour, and we were just going to laugh at the funny of it. And there's plenty to actually laugh at, despite the, the, the horrid origin of where the apology stem from, he would become a, a political weapon today, right? Absolutely. He would absolutely, and we're talking about, this was only three years ago. he would become a political weapon today. Right? Absolutely.

He would absolutely, and we're talking about, this was only three years ago, but if he got fired for this, he would already get work at another right way. Absolutely. Well, make the argument. What would it sound like for him? Because obviously we know the argument against him,

but what's it sound like for him? Well, he's, I mean, I'm a sick, well, that's also part of it too. Like, he didn't, he didn't drum it up. Like you've seen all the support that Sage Steel has gotten in this promo tour that she's had since she's left ESPN and she's finding the allies. Tom Brennan, I guess to his credit, hasn't tried to play victim here. He's been laying low.

I mean, he did India apology try to get people to vouch for his character, which is the funniest part at the end of like, I think there are people who could speak on my behalf. Please, but love God help me. Please, please. Yeah, but I mean, as far as apologies go, he didn't really make excuses outside of believe me. That's not in my heart. That's not who I am.

And yeah, we can absolutely read into it. I've never been that guy. Yeah, other than 10 minutes ago. I've never been that guy other than sounding like I've been that guy before. Right. But he hasn't gone out. I'm not trying to give him any credit. It's just curious. Usually when someone finds themselves in this embroiled cancelling controversy, they go on the offensive and he hasn't done it yet. And when you don't go on the offensive, you basically push away anybody that's willing to make you the face of a call. What's the offensive look like there, those like I apologize.

I'm good or does he say, no, I know. Nobody likes gay people. Well, isn't him of speech. This has actually been, it feels like we're going backwards now with relations and how Gays are accepted, right? There's been a real amplified offensive, especially down here in the state of Florida lately, where even three years ago, that would be, that would be too hot to actually pick up and make a political platform out of. Now he'd find allies, because

three years later, it is essentially part of the identity of a sector of that base. Yeah. I mean, look, I think we're going backwards in a lot of ways. I think when you talk about the pride flags and everything else and everybody's sort of standing up for not wearing them all of a sudden and just having reasons to not do so. I just think, you know, you talk about like the way a lot of these organizations and stuff do things. It's, you know, maybe sometimes they're not brought this patch or whatever,

this whole concept until when it's too close. And they don't really have time to discuss it or have their feelings discussed. And yes, there are programs and stuff within these organizations and these teams. But how much do we really know these players and these people are really listening or really being affected by it or if it's just something they have to do

just to do and they're gonna hold on to their own beliefs. So yeah, we're going backwards in a way. I do think that the conversation just becomes so convoluted. Something like Brennan did, I think, is pretty clearly something that you don't survive from because it had that twinge of hatred. Like it's just the tone that he said it in. And then to immediately say, that's not me is a complete nonsense. Like you could just say something, hey, I've got to work on me, but you can't say that's not me.

But that and, and the conversation that we're having about whether or not he would get another opportunity now shows just how much we've devolved in the last three years since this conversation of, I completely agree with you, Mike. If he had said the exact same thing with that twinge of hate, if anything, that would make it more of a reason for one of these right-wing places that are currently using this, this, this, other rising of another community once again, because we couldn't get people to grasp onto the other rising of the previous communities that we've been otherizing for the last decade.

Here's another one. Let's throw hate at them and he would have been a perfect representation of, oh, cool calm, classy broadcaster. Yeah. Made a mistake. I've been a martyr victim of cancer close to a hundred percent. A hundred percent. I got in job somewhere.

It's funny. And like, I just wanted to laugh at the Nick Cassiano's thing. And in reliving it three years ago, this is just three years ago. Instead of being filled with nostalgia, I'm like, wow, the world has really changed in the last three years. We live in a post-Ronda Santas culture war with Disney and now people are wearing

that particular cause on the sleeve in ways that they weren't doing just three years ago. Can we laugh at a terrible home run call from four years ago then? Those balls are a little slick. Rome. years ago. Are those the lyrics to a Beatles song? Nothing about that. Wait, was he a good old run call?

Was he brushback? See, he's getting context here. You can figure it out. Was he brushback earlier in the ad-bat? He was brushback earlier in the ad-bat. That doesn't make sense. That's a good call. That's not a bad call.

That's a good call. Okay, so this clip on its own, by the way. First of all, you start off with balls are really slick those balls are slick yeah and then hit me with a home run call again Roam hello knock me down hello goodbye there you go

don't say it again no I like don't say it again let me say that again let me say that again Darryl Moury's a liar. Knock me down. Hello. Goodbye. There you go. Knock me down. There you go. Bye bye.

And then take a try. That's a good call. That's not a bad call. And then this buddy says, that's how it's done. My friend is the way you do it. That is not how you do it. Sarah, that is not the answer. He means getting hit after being brushed. He does mean that. This is a hometown broadcast. If

you're guy just got brushed back, please describe the play at all. Just a little bit. And what? Bosses look. Where's the ball? And then word choice. And then take a trot. And I immediately remember that I had to go to the room and then take a trot That my friend is I didn't take a trot. I immediately did think of Greg Cody though like that would absolutely be Greg's Hello Okay, let's go steal my material Yeah, Greg we did we did get sidetracked I saw that you had actually something on the LGBTQ topic. No, it just...

This is the one that improved Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats. Gamble on by Draftkins. Don Lebatard. Greg Cody, your thoughts? Stugats. Greg? Okay, very good.

Yeah, no, I'm here. This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats. show with this two cats. We're talking college football. Thank God. It's been long enough. We're here with Is that a great cookie press? Right there. Very good. I guess my dad is a great right into the mic. Like crazy.

I was doing an intro. I know. I was doing good too. You were doing great. I was doing great. You were crushing it Lucy. Great. Keep going. it Lucy. Great. Keep going.

Very well. Doing very well. I was introducing Jess and Spencer. Hi. Hi. From shut down for just. Jess I have a opening question for you. Oh, okay, hit me.

When do you get back? I miss you Lucy. I'm sorry that you're all alone without without me. Oh, you don't know. Is everything okay? They're talking about the lot of things I don't want to talk about. Yeah, I got a lot of winners. We're talking about winners a lot and we will get off that subject. I promise. Jess, you're in Ireland.

Are you working or you're on vacation? A little bit of Colme, a little bit of Colme B. I'm actually here with a company called On Location that are showing me the sights of Ireland this week. And the game is on Saturday night, so I'm gonna be back in Dublin on Thursday, right now I'm on the West Coast of Ireland. So far, so good. Is he, it is not a hundred degrees here.

I know Lucy was just talking about how hot has been in Miami lately, but I felt a cool breeze on my face for the first time in months and it was amazing. You chose Ireland over Israel. I'm not very happy about it though. Spencer, where are you? I am currently in Atlanta, Georgia, where it is a ball, me 900,000 degrees. I'm loving it. It's great. That's college football, whether baby. Follow a question or you circumcise. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. And your life's worth for knowing that, isn't it? Are you glad you asked? Yeah. We're pulling away here. Yeah, right down there. I see what I did there. Yeah, don't do that. We really pulled away.

Yeah. Oh, man. All right. So where do we want to start? Do you want to start with Michigan and Jim Harbaugh and all of a sudden, a self-imposed suspension being three games as opposed to the four that was originally suggested? What was going on there, Spencer? What was going on here suspension being three games as opposed to the four that was originally suggested.

What was going on there, Spencer? What was going on here is this, don't talk to the NCAA, don't cooperate, don't talk, don't acknowledge them. This is one of the biggest programs in the nation, and it's absolutely humiliating that they even cooperated with this crap because it is about cheeseburgers. That's literally what this is about. You'll see this, you'll know it's about cheeseburgers and about Jim Harball allegedly using a company credit card to purchase said cheeseburgers. When they say, this is not about the cheeseburgers lies. Imagine being an adult, imagine being an

adult and working for the NCAA and somebody says, it's extremely important that you got to go find out the Jim Harball. Use this credit card to go buy some cheeseburgers for a couple of recruits and not dying of shame. That's what this is about. So now they're caught in this back and forth where they have to make the NCAA look like they're legitimate and they have to own up in order to go ahead and put off any possible sort of punishment that they signed up for by cooperating in the first place. You know he won't see doing this.

You won't see Ohio State doing this. You won't catch USC doing this. You sure as hell won't catch the you doing this, especially because they have problems with their own right now. Didn't Ohio State do this with tattoos though? Bullishly, yes. And they lost a coach because of it. But here's the trick at Ohio State.

They don't need it. They don't need a coach to be good. They're going to be 10 wins, 9 wins, no matter who's coaching that thing. That's not the case in Michigan, and we found that out. So in order to placate everybody and keep our ball on board and keep him from interviewing for what NFL jobs are going to be open. Just pick one. One of the Hill interview for it. It won't go well. And then he will go ahead and come back to Michigan without his tail between his legs because he has no shame about these

things. We should mention Spencer Hall host metal likes metallurcs shut down full cast. And I think we already mentioned that Jess was in Ireland where Notre Dame kicks off the season against Navy. Jess, what are you most excited about? Well, to be honest, I usually am very excited for week zero, which is what we call the weekend before all of the college football game start where there used to be like one or two teams would play here and there.

And now it seems like every year more and more teams are playing in week zero. And that's the weekend that the Arlington's classic is, which is here in Ireland, which is basically like a bowl game that's part of the season where two teams come to Ireland and play. It's not even an exhibition. It's an actual season game kind of before the season starts. But then Notre Dame is playing in it this year. And I kind of realized, I like week zero, but I don't like when my team plays in week zero, it's kind of like a week zero for the, but not for me situation,

because I want to love the extra week of practice for Sam Hartman, who is the transfer from Wake Forest, that's starting at Notre Dame this season. And instead, you get a big old road trip across the pond to Ireland. So I am excited for football to start, but I'm also already kind of hitting, hitting my nervous energy situation like a little bit earlier than usual right now. So yeah, some of my, some of my worst habits are coming back. Is he because it's not week zero for you? It's week one for

you. Everybody who's playing it's week one. It's week zero for everybody else. Yeah, exactly. I'm excited for it. She hates Navy. I don't like Navy. I do think scheduling-wise playing Navy the first week is always the best situation for any team because you get a whole off season and all of camp to practice defending against the triple option, which is something that Notre Dame has to see every year. And when you see it later in the season, it's a lot more difficult than we actually get time for it at the beginning of the season. And it has probably historically voted better for the Irish.

There are 10 of 11 of the last games against Navy. They've won. So hopefully, I'm very biased here, but this year will be the same. I've got to go. Hope you pulled that one out. Hope you pull it out again. Yeah, it's, I mean, look, you should be nervous.

It was nerve wracking last year. Noter name almost gave up a massive lead to Navy in the second half, but that's why these games are so stressful for me, Spencer, because it is noter name. Sometimes they let you down spectacularly. So this is again, by the way, you, I want to just be clear, you went overseas. You go beat up on overmatched competition with superior firepower on your side. You've just took the Navy's job. That's what you did. Spencer, I have to, I have to give you credit because you clearly don't care what your background is when you do these things. And you have, I want you to see

a message back there that you have. Right there. That's the video game cute up in the background. I've caused it to talk to you guys and is that a cat inside of some sort of jar that says ham? Yeah, that's a cat inside a wrapped inside a gigantic blanket of ham. Okay. And you put that there. That's a ham cat by local artist our land. Okay. And then on the right side of you just random boxes and shit. We're moving in. Yeah. This is a, we've been moving in. Over a year ago. That is correct. Over a year ago. Spencer is my co-host on DNF. So seeing, trying to do like little easter eggs with

whatever is in the background of his zoom is also one of my favorite games. Is that a Coca-Cola, Anna Coke Zero? No, let's see. We have that is a bubble water. There's like a carbonated bubble, bubbly and a Coke Zero along with a Duke's Mayo bowl helmet and a Dale Earnhardt cooler. So I have a Dale Earnhardt Mini cooler back there as well. You're just missing the check soda there for, for like Southern Bingo. I think Lucy's going to offer a few of those items from you. Spencer, it seemed as though a couple of years ago, I know Miami and Florida played for, for a week, zero matchup that did big time ratings

and it felt like, wow, the NCAA and its big media partners found a new golden goose where they can extract yet more money from. And since then, the match and its big media partners found a new golden goose where they can extract yet more money from. And since then, the matchups have been pretty uninspiring, no offense, Jess. But why isn't there the one big marquee power program against other big marquee power program week zero thing? Become a thing. Probably because coaches, I think, are most concerned and administrators are most concerned about the existing workload of games for players. They would rather backload it. They want

to go ahead and make sure that if you're in the playoffs, you haven't been playing for X number of weeks before you go ahead and get into that. Additionally, and this doesn't sound like a lot, but for a coach, it would be a lot if you're trying to play it out the season. That's an additional week that you don't have to prepare, right? And almost every single team will go ahead and take that. If you see these week zero games, um, Notre Dame aside, you're not going to end USC aside. USC, by the way, is playing a week zero. They're playing San Jose State. That's who they're playing. USC did not, uh, schedule a Titan for the week zero matchup. They don't do that because programs that usually

scheduled in week zero, it's an attention grabber. And it's for programs that need the attention and it's for programs that don't really have some of the logistical challenges that say a behemoth like Alabama might. So that's why you haven't seen the week zero thing. We get very messed up on scheduling and how people schedule things and we don't really understand the incentives. Remember Nick Sabin hates playing in the playoff because it interferes with recruiting. That's it. So when you see him sitting there holding a trophy, he's just waiting until he can get back on his phone.

Spencer, I love to get angry about list and with the preseason pull out, ooh, I'm human, I'm ready for it. When you look at the top, I'm human. I was ranked so I'm not that I'm happy to be at 25. But Spencer, when you look at that list, is there anyone you see in the top 10 top 15 that you're like, yeah, they're unranked by week five. No, no one do I say is unranked. By the way, shout out to everyone for ranking Iowa because that's right. We're going there. They're going to win eight games. You're going to hate all of them. But America, you're going to take this medicine because Kirk Ferenc is never dying,

never going to live forever. If I look at anyone here who I go, man, they're going to fall out of the top 10. I don't because everybody looks really solid like down to like 10. If you had one program in the top 25, who I go, we might be a little speculative there in terms of entertaining them being real good. I never trust North Carolina because North Carolina has no defense whatsoever. And anytime you put Ole Miss in the top 25, I'm going to go ahead and red flag it just because that's Ole Miss. Good things don't happen to them two years in a row, historically. Like their success chart looks like an EKG. It's just up and down, up and down constantly. Jess, I have a ACC coastal size hole in my heart, who replaces the ACC coastal in just being absolutely bonkers and it gets a special

classification of no one actually wants to win this. Oh, that is such a great question. I mean, honestly, honorary ACC coastal was the big 10 West for a while, but now their divisions are also gone. I think that's something to certainly keep an eye on, Mike. I also want to just answer Lucy's question to Spencer in my own shady way, which is not all people are talking about the fact that Tulane beat USC at the end of the season last year in their ball game and the cotton bowl. And USC retained their defensive coordinator who did not do a great job last year. So when we're talking about teams with no defense like North Carolina, I think people are really, really high on South Carolina because of Caleb Caleb Williams as they should be. But even Southern college should say not South Carolina, even I know, right?

It's funny because I went to two schools that both hate the USC school. So it's very easy to remember that But even with Caleb Williams last year they did not win the the Pac-12 This is the last year of the Pac-12. We will see who wins it for the final time But I I don't know how I feel about them being in the top 10 because they had some troubles last year Jess 15 seconds. How is McDonald's in Ireland? They have a curry dipping sauce for the fries and the nuggets, sweet curry. Oh my God.

And they have snack wraps. They have snack wraps here. I miss the snack wraps so much. I give it a 10 out of 10. McDonald's come to Ireland, go to McDonald's. Curry from Ireland, that's a shocker. Jess, did you know that Greg Cody was also here? Greg, I miss you.

Hi Jess, how are you doing? I'm looking at the clock, because I'm... I don't improve down lebatar show with the Stugats. Gamble on by Draftkins. Down lebatard. We like to call this one a chorus of Owen Wilson, ready? Mm-hmm. Stugats.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. This is the down lebatar show with the Stugats. [♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪ You're just a couple of days away from getting confirmation after you turn yourself in if Donald Trump is indeed the same height and weight as Derek Henry. Oh, God, yes, I can't wait for this. And I'm gonna say it's not. This was something that was claimed?

Yeah, well, yeah. Because if you Google what Donald Trump's weight is, I think they graciously give him 243 over. And he running backs can be any size. Yeah, Donald Trump should have decided. decided that it was actually world class running back Chris and he decided i'm just gonna become yet google has a bit six three two forty three yet that no way i mean who hasn't put on a couple of pounds in the last couple of years but

so he could have been a running back but then saw how is going and decided to be president president so christ was right yes christ was christ was right but that the line is actually it started at 263 and there is some heavy steam on that that line ballooned up to over 77 over. You're taking the over. I am. I would take the over. Whale. It could start with a three to 77. You think he's 300 pounds. Start with a three. That's even six three. Is that been determined? I do believe the height. I think I think we're looking at it at least 20 pounds over the two forty

three. But is he certain? That's where we start. He's six foot three, but his ass starts at around five foot five. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. Why do they take your height and weight in these situations? In case you go on the run, he's called on the lamb in this case, I think. If you go on the run, then they have an accurate way to describe you. Just in case they needed to find Donald Trump on the run. Right. Because he's otherwise unidentifiable. Nobody knows what he's doing. No, he is a world-class athlete who could have been running back.

So I might be able to go away. Yeah, I could juke. Yeah. I mean, what happens if he's lined up next to Derek Henry, then who's good? I mean, if he's spending any time in prison, he probably should bulk up and like really look at Derek Henry. I got a tight, I'm good. I don't need a Donald Trump mug shot. I don't, I don't need it. And I know exactly what's going to happen when that mug shot comes out. Yeah. I don't want to be reminded of it. I don't want it to be on banners. I don't want it to be on shirts. I'm so good with skipping the mug shot portion of this. How many tattoos on Donald Trump? Tattoos. Oh, that's also a good question. Yeah. How many tattoos on Donald's? I'm taking a victory that too. Visible. I was going

to ask just how many tattoos of his mug shot. Chris has a question. We may find out on Thursday. I just don't want it. I find the whole thing exhausting. I'm happy that he's not participating in the Republican debates too, because then we just get in a neco chamber and just be the worst, the worst parts of us. But it's not as if this is even happening because you look at poll numbers and the only person struggling is, you know, Florida governor, Ron DeSantis. He's a world class loser that Ron DeSantis. I don't know how Donald Trump will leave. I'm so glad I'm just here to not along with Mike and not actually say Donald Trump's lead fridge increases with every indictment. Like how it's amazing. How bad of a candidate must you be? There was a CBS poll that came out recently and I'll have to look for the specific numbers

later in the segment. But I believe that those pulled who said they are supporting Donald Trump were asked if his quote unquote legal battles are part of the reason they're supporting him and 73% of the people said yes. I'll go back and confirm. We're going to double down, triple down. None of this will come back. The only thing that will actually stop him from running is him being in prison

and even then, I'm not, I'm not so sure. So, I mean, because this is what makes him so popular. It's like, no matter what you throw at him, no matter what he does, he can never look bad. But did you see DeSantis, I was talking about Trump and Tim for never looking bad, but did you see DeSantis, I get asked a question recently about just his numbers or whatever, it is, and he he goes not here. And immediately went to like start to cry like that one me.

It's weird how shame even six to dissantists and no one can play the game that Donald Trump plays in which everything that would be conceitably a disaster for any other candidate is just a win for him. It's the same type of party and base that traffic's on freedom, and yet they don't mind if they totally undercut the democratic process. It's a special time in history, and I really do hope someone does something about it, because he's made every indication that he's about to change America and the powers of the presidency if he gets it back to where you just, you're

just straight up a fat, you're under a fascist and they may never actually relinquish power. If I'm Biden though, I go with the Trump strategy of, I'm just not going to talk. Is Biden going to be helped by doing these debates? Like, you remember how bad those debates were? That's what I'm saying. Like, years ago, you just stick with the poll, he's polling fine, just don't speak. Go with the Trump method. He's polling fine. Just don't speak. Go to the Trump method.

I'm with you. When Trump becomes a candidate as it seems like we're headed and it's them to again. And when we were complaining about how old and embarrassing those debates were four years ago, we don't need to see it again. No one's mind has been changed and found the last four years. We're just running it back. It's become so easy to be the candidate against Donald Trump that all Joe has to do is not fall down. Just just stay alive. I'll fight right against something. No,

by great. No more bike rides. No more bike rides. Stay out of the sun, hermetically sealed, because he is, he is not Trump, and that's all we need. That's what it boils down to. You can make it a one, you can make the ballad just to check, bar. Our friend, the Bragg Williams, from the Indian Bragg Williams did a Biden joke in the Miami comedy improv and man, people were laughing way too aggressively. Way too aggressively. Even Brad was just like, whoa, I mean, I knew Miami's different, but good. Lord. And it was a little bit of an uncomfortable moment. Yeah. Dorella is how it right there. Dorella is

even more different. But I do want to maybe for you switch topics. Or are we going to go to Greg's newties, honky tongue t-shirts? Is that what we're switching topics to? Well, it has been distracting to me. I've been looking at it all day and it does have the word newty on it. What is this? It says it claims to be world famous. So it's a very real place. Right. It's a honky-tonk now, but it began as... What's a honky-tonk? I know, but I don't think Jeremy knows what a honky-tonk is. Just like a bar, the, you know, country bar sawdust on the floor and, you know, jukebox and all that stuff. There's no sawdust. I don't think sawdust is a requirement.

It's a live music bar. Right, right, exactly. But Newtie is the guy who fits and clothes all of the old time country stores. Wow, two upsets in one sentence. Newtie is a guy who clothes and clothes all of the old time country stores. Wow, two upsets in one sentence. Newty is a guy who clothes people. Right, that's a great name. The reason that this shirt is interesting is because, I got this shirt from my dad.

I was in Nashville last weekend. He loves a black shirt. Thank you. So I bought a form, I handed it to him, and he takes a pair of scissors because it was, it was balled up in the little, like, you know, tube-like thing. So he cuts the scissors,

and there's also, you know, these stickers that are on all these shirts. That's the size. Yeah. XL large. How do you usually remove those? Is he the sticker with my hands? Oh, you just rip it off. I rip it off. You don't try to cut the, the middle of the sticker. It depends. It depends on what kind of shirt it is because I've done it where I've ripped the tag off and I've put a hole in the shirt, so. It doesn't depend really. Like with that sticker, the size sticker always gets just weird.

We're talking sticker, no, the sticker, not the tag. Oh, because I tear off all the tags. Right, the tag is, like you pull those off. I'm with you on that, but these are just the sticker that's the size. Just pull it off, that's exactly. And my dad decided to take scissors to that. And if you look below the little silver,

like at the, see the end goes around like, there's all of that thing. My dad cut a hole in the shirt that I bought him. And I think there's like a black piece of tape over it or something. I don't think I'd say that. Did he try to like, really glue that thing together? How do we know that hole wasn't already there?

I know. Because my dad said to me, I just accidentally cut the shirt. Yeah. What electrical, electrical tape is magic. I mean, it's the same color as the shirt. It's just really. Why do you have to be you?

Who else is going to be me? Exactly right. Why do I have to take that off before we put in the washers? For somebody who, It's a good point. We played so easily and you're playing with scissors for no reason. They would play. Why didn't you pull the tag? The, the stick rope. I couldn't find it was balled up. I couldn't find the end. I just took the, what I considered

to be a faster. I couldn't find the end. You just pull from the middle, Bob. No, it's balled up. You can't touch it. They're mad. Greg. But once you unballed, like, it was so simple. And my dad knew, he was ashamed of it. He knew, he saw that he did it and tried to hide it from me. He was just like, oh, great shirt, thanks. And I'm like, wait, did you just, why are you awkwardly now putting it away? And I'm embarrassed. And then I fling it open,

you see a big hole in the middle. Well, who gives someone as a gift a job? Why are you making him do all the work? If it's a gift for him, cut off all the tags, take off all the stickers. His job is to just wear the shirt and enjoy it. It's a very good point. This is how you.

Billy is spot on. Thank you. Well, did you just give it to him in a ball like that? Yes, he did. It was tied up in a little piece of like string. It was tied up in the like scissors were like he needed scissors because there was like it was tied up in a string But you just cut that string. So he needed scissors.

He cut it he cut the string and then he's like, oh now I'll cut this sticker off the scissors were in my hand I still it how did you present this to him? Did you give it to him like a hot dog wrapped in like a woman before just like that brought to some from Nashville? There you go. I don't like your mom would have no okay with that. I don't like that your son is using this platform to embarrass you and You be I didn't tell him to wear the shirt today. You'd be happy to know something happened before the show today that might be Source of embarrassment for him. Oh, I would love to know. Yeah, Billy, do you remember what happened before the show when you guys before the meeting between the Fuentes brothers? Yeah. So before the show today, we somehow started talking about wrestling and how wrestling, you know, growing

up in the 90s was very dangerous for children because everyone, everyone growing up was like, oh, you know what, let me try all these wrestling moves. Because wrestling really had like a moment in the late 1990s, right? So any kid that's in the range of seven to 12 or so, whatever, was like really into it. Yeah, and they would go and they try to do wrestling moves on their friends, their siblings, their cousins, whatever, right? So we were talking, me and Mike Fwent is about different things, and I used to do this move and my cousin would do this move and we broke this, we broke

that. And he was saying how, oh my, what's that Chris? This is not that flick. Stop being so do stop your ruining it. Stop talking while the people are talking. Let's hear the story. So then, you know, we're talking about different moves and then Mike Fletch is saying like, oh, you know, growing up, me and Gino, it's lucky that we didn't get seriously hurt because we used to do these wrestling moves in the room and there was just basically carpet on top of concrete.

And Chris says, well, you guys have known each other that long and Mike Frenta says, me and Gino are brothers. I just had a moment. Look, it's early as for that we're back, huh? There's a lot of there's a lot of people here who just go back with each other like everybody here is their brothers they know

their brothers. That was all my life. Louis and Tony and Kirit like everyone knows each other for no other were brothers. But their brothers. I do I yes I knew they're doing Gino Fuentes in my same my name. If you want to know what

really happened there. I had a pretty dumb moment where I just thought for a second that Gino was Danny GQ. I thought he was GQ for a second. So I'm like, wait, you guys look back too. Oh, it's Gino like Danny GQ. It was early in the morning. You know how you can tell the payoff is weird.

It's because of how defensive you're showing the side. Well, I'm laughing. I made a mistake. I made a mistake. He came in, why speaking of wrestling? He's just off rope loudpe loud as a mother. No, it was a little loud, wasn't it?

He's trying to take a nap, man. Wow, seriously, he's. I will eventually be trying to take a nap while we listen to this. Laughing stock. How's that? Much better news, too. Hello! Hello!
