You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Don LeBattor Show with the Stoogats Podcast. The show has been moving too fast this week with all of just the college football thing, the virus, the thing that infected the show. And so there are a number of things I haven't gotten to yet. The useless sound montage. That's a always popular wonder and we get to it later and later every week. It needs to be earlier in the week. I'm going to start cracking the whip around here after the holidays. Are you still allowed to use that expression, cracking the whip?

Judges? All alone? Siren? Thank you, I appreciate that. In the proper tone, maybe. I saw Samson stop dead in his track on Stortus. He got scared. He got panicked.

I saw it on his face too. Yeah, it swept over him. He changed. Which rarely happens, Dan. I know, but he's getting old and he's an old light man and can be dangerous for them at the moment too. That's why they voted the way they did. That's how that happened, just so you know.

Like they've always been in power and they're like, no, no power for women, no power for any of you. Power all ours. We'll give it to our biggest orange crook and let him run everything. So useless. Yeah, useless sound. It's like what I've been shouting for four years into the wind as anarchy comes my way.

He's my useless sound. I'm the sponsor of useless sound. Lads a gift from the football gods. So is Tarheeb and Joe Ault and Cam and Marcus May. How about that? Just a beautiful thing. I got hit in the not so funny bone. You know, we'll have to take a look at the film, see where we can get better and improve. Can't say enough about the efforts of the guys in that locker room, the splash playmaking.

Playoffs, I mean, furthest thing from my mind. You know, you never know what can happen. So like I said, I'm just going to keep putting one foot in front of the other, try to be the best player that I can be for the rest of this season. And week in and week out, day in and day out, trying to be the best that I can be. You know, our guys fought hard, did a lot of good things. Too many mistakes. We got to clean that up if we want to get to where we want to go.

We wanted to come out intact because we knew what they would give us. You know, that's what I mean about the depths of these waters, man, these divisional relationships. It is not checkers, it's chess. Resilient team, done a lot of different things. We were so determined team. I think that was noticeable all week of how determined this football team is. It's good work. I mean, you're trying to find a way to get the W. And that's ultimately what we did.

Small cats will steal your soul, never have them run. If it's a house cat, that will steal your soul. It means that we did a great job today. It gives us a lot of momentum and everything else, but we've got to use it for good. We've got to be able to respond, we've got to be better next week. Mike's a grown ass man. The naysayers will, you know, you prove them right, they'll be louder. That's part of the territory.

You have to, you carry that until you do something about it and unfortunately we didn't tonight. It's Thanksgiving. Pat's girlfriend Jill, she made this fire ass little banana thing and I had too much. I guess that, I didn't know it affected me until that first drive. I thought we did a great job at weathering the storm. We gotta make better decisions in some cases. We can't turn the ball over. You know what? I have never met Captain Andrew Luck.

I hope they continue to tweet. My mama just told me that. She just cussed me out, so I'm mad. So we gonna get after it. I ain't gonna lie to you. We gonna get after it. I can't wait till this bot get on. So the thing I was doing in the theater

was I was singing along. So I kinda was waiting for my wife to So the thing I was doing in the theater was I was singing along. So I kind of was waiting for my wife to nudge me to stop doing that. But you know, when Alphaba goes into The Wizard and I, it's hard not to. And then Defying Gravity, it's hard not to. I know I'm better than this. I know. I'm just praying for the Lord to deliver me from pick sixes. Aren't we all?

sixes. Aren't we all? It is such a good quote at the end of that. The Jamis experience continues to echo. None of us wanted on our football team, but we just wanted around football. Can we get Najee Harris's actual like injury on the report because he said he ate a fire-ass little banana thing that got his stomach all messed up and I want to see that on the injury report. That has to happen routinely on Thanksgiving dinner nights in the NFL where some guy just ate poorly during the day and blew it, right? They're not all nutritious hounds

who know the clinical science of what it is that every Sunday or Thursday requires, right? Yes, I think that the Thanksgiving diet is a specific one, not just in so that it's, you know, or Thursday requires, right? Yes, I think that the Thanksgiving diet is a specific one, not just in so that it's, you know, food you don't normally eat, but it's the amount of food that you probably don't normally eat. I was watching the AFC North Hard Knocks episode,

and my favorite moment involving Thanksgiving was, they went to the Hayward house, so Cam Hayward and his brother Connor, who are both on the Steelers, and Cam was like, hey, did you see the end of the Lions-Bears game? It was crazy, and I love that even NFL players are watching Matt Eberflou screw that up, and they're talking about it at their Thanksgiving dinner.

You mentioned Thanksgiving. I had my most epic Thanksgiving leftovers ever this year. I did it differently. Usually, I've always just been a real boring leftovers guy. Put it all on a plate Zap it and eat it the way you did the not boring sex of Thanksgiving like the boring sex Just give me the same style of plate just zap it up, but you know what? The old zap at least

Wait a minute you just judge the sensuality of Chris. You just like all right. Let's do it Well zapping implies microwave, and that is very sad. I at least I did, I would air fry it at least. Oh, most people microwave the leftovers, no? Like not nowadays. I'm not creating this. If I can air fry it, I air fry it. If it's meat, if there's meat involved,

meat gets very rubbery. Depends on how lazy you wanna be. I'll microwave. So this year I was like, all that, like, you know, the social media algorithm, I saw people making like Thanksgiving egg rolls. I was like, all the social media algorithms, I saw people making Thanksgiving egg rolls. I was like, I wanna do something fun. My dad makes a soup.

I was like, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get a hoagie. Just a 12 inch roll. And I'm gonna have a Thanksgiving sub. You made a sandwich? That's what everyone does. No, but I'm telling you, this is not just a sandwich. This is not just a turkey sandwich. This is every single thing you would have on your plate

in this roll. Yeah, that's right. It was so delightful. I cut it in half. My wife's like, I'm not eating that. I'm like, all right, I'll have both. All right, well, now you have to just tell us, go dish by dish, what did you put in the sandwich?

Because this is not a novel concept at all. We started with a base of mashed potatoes. Oof, I already have to have that. That's your mayo? That's the base. OK, but that's your mayo on the sandwich. Novel concept started with a base of mashed potatoes Okay, so wait a minute you're gonna go even fatter than the average fat Thanksgiving so I'm like it was like a smear so the the mayo on your carbs is mashed potatoes, right? And then we go with a little green bean casserole. That's your salad with mango. That's your lettuce. Which at this point is just mush.

You know what I mean? Like the day after. It's got mush on top of mush. Yeah, mushy mush. Green bean casserole is an affront to God. It had the crunchies on it but those aren't crunchy anymore. So now it's just mush. The crispy onions.

I'm slopping it in there with a spoon. So far this is way more than just the leftovers. So Chris is right. And then. That's your vegetable. Now you're thinking this is a little rich. This is like, there's a leftover, so Chris is right. And then, That's your vegetable. Now you're thinking this is a little rich. This is like, there's a lot of, you know what?

We're gonna sweeten this up a little bit, put a little cornbread in here. So now we're gonna put a little cornbread in here. Cornbread in the bread? The cornbread, just a little, like dusting I'd say almost, like the way Salt Bae does. An innovator.

Wait, Chris, did you? I was like crumbling up my leftover cornbread. Cornbread shake? You should cut the cornbread in half and put something in between the layers of cornbread so you have a sandwich inside a sandwich next year. Sandwich-ception. And then on top, good old turkey.

My dad's fried tur, Cajun birds, leftovers of that. It's good turkey. Sprinkle that on top so now the top, you see the meat, it looks like a good sandwich, all that mush underneath it. And then of course, just gravy, just gravy on top of it. So then I cut it in half and I got this, I'm telling you, it looked like Food Network quality.

It was just had the, you could see the layer, no I don't think I did, you could see the layers of mashed potato and I just bit into that thing, it was so mushy. But it was so good, I didn't have cranberry sauce, I would have added that. I love cranberry sauce. But it was delightful.

Sauce disgusting. How'd you leftover? Dan? I'm gonna get back to that in a second. Tony was sort of nodding his head and I don't know whether he was disgusted or not. What you were choice? Oh come on, I didn't like the sandwich choice.

You'd crush that sandwich. No, no, I do every time that we have the Thanksgiving leftovers. The thing is, I do it differently, right? I get fresh on Black Friday, I go to my local bakery and I get un pancuano rico. Pero ta, shh, like this, right? And then I get I get un pancuano rico, pero esta like this, right? And then I get it, un pancuano, a Cuban bread. Okay. Okay. So I get a Cuban bread, right?

The blue and the red stripe. Yeah, of course. Yeah. So he's never heard that day. You said it very fast. Okay. So I get the Cuban bread and then I cut about 17 inches. Yeah. Right so I got that 17 inches. Right in the middle. Right in the middle. Put that on. Then I get, because we do a couple different meats over at Thanksgiving. We got turkey but we also have honey ham. Dan I know you're a big fan of honey ham with a spiral on top. So I layer that first. Right we get the turkey on first. You're gonna on me ham and sugar it up sure And burnt crispy on top sure so I got my ham

Yes, exactly and then I put the ham and then on the top of the bread I put sweet potato casserole with a little bit of marshmallow that little bit of marshmallow right on top Then I layer it with a mac and cheese Right and then I close that up and then I put on my plancha and then goes You are hitting that with some Latin sensuality and it's making Jessica make a face. It doesn't seem, Jessica seems to find more appetizing, that monstrosity that Chris Cody described,

which is a horror by the way, because none of that stuff's holding up very good and that casserole's dripping. Like you're not doing this cleanly, you're eating a sloppy sandwich. It was like pouring out, it would like pour out of the back end of it. The description of it all as mush is what did it for me.

So my sandwich is usually a layer of cranberry sauce, turkey, maybe some gravy, and then I'll add one side to it, depending on what we have. Like potatoes or something, depending on what we have left over. I'm not adding multiple layers of mush on top of it. Tony's intrigues me because you have the cheese element. That sizzle. that sizzle again.

Which I do think does add something. Cheese is not a Thanksgiving thing though. I don't associate that. No, mac and cheese is. Mac and cheese, yeah, but it gives you the cheese of the sandwich. Every good sandwich needs cheese, Dan. I've never really liked the idea

of a sandwich with leftovers. It's just more carbs with the carbs that you're already eating. Oh, more carbs. I'm not saying it's not healthy. It just doesn't feel like it's that good. Put it on the healthy, it just doesn't feel like it's that good. Put it on the poll please, does every sandwich need cheese, Dan, at Lebatard Show?

Absolutely. Every good sandwich needs cheese. I think Izzy, it's just that, you get the turkey presented to you in such a way Thursday, that Friday you want it done differently. So you're adding bread to it and you're eating it cold versus just reheating the same plate of Thanksgiving a second time in a row Or third time if you're an early Thanksgiving person because then you're having Thanksgiving and then Thanksgiving again at like eight o'clock during the Packers-Dolphins game

And then the next day you're having Thanksgiving again. I do enjoy several Thanksgiving's in a row. Yes, like yes, it's pretty good It's I don't feel great about it afterward. Monday's hard to come into work after four days of football. That's the holidays. It was slothy and gross, but delightful."

["The Last Supper"] I have not been able to get to all the things in the show over the last couple of days that I wanna get to, so I'm just gonna combine them all now, okay? The bucket of death has to be in play, so let's get that going. Let's do Thursday Thunder as well.

I have a number of different things that I need to get to behind the bit we need to get to. So let's just combine a bunch of things here and let's start with the bucket of death. Go around the room and we will combine that. You just made Chris so nervous right now. Well, I was like, there's thunder music, there's death music. Yes, I know, I know.

I know you've got a lot of different music, but I need to get all of this out of here at the same time because it's too much. And this is like the sandwich you were just describing. We've just got this, we got this. Where's La Blanca? Oh, what ingredient am I? Yeah, well, this segment is the green bean casserole

that's spilling all over the place that I've hated for years It shouldn't be in the sandwich shouldn't be in Thanksgiving. I got the Buffalo Bills at the Rams. They're minus four I think I'm gonna have to keep this one. Okay. Yes the bills weird one tough like Bill's clinched the AFCs. I still think the Rams are good. What am I Rams are 500? The Rams are probably pretty good, but the bills are one of my gotta take I gotta take the Rams are good. The Rams are 500. The Rams are probably pretty good, but the Bills are one of the best teams.

I gotta take the Bills, Minus. I have to. We've already moved on. Jaguars. At Titans, at Titans, 3.5 points. Mac Jones has started. Turn to the Mac. I got a face mask.

15 yards. I haven't been here for great of death in like two months you guys like never do it when I'm in here which is always skates on the Ravens I have a bye congratulations thank you I'm happy for you yeah never happiness Reeper come over here I like doing with my right hand I've got a great streak

going Chris and because people aren't made happy by this I have not lost yet and because people aren't made happy by this, I have not lost yet this season. You're not made happy by this. I'm not. I haven't lost this year either. I am the only person with a worn costume. I've got the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Ooh, Browns. I heard the Commish was threatening me. You guys should all know, she's bringing on an enforcer, and she's really mad that no one's paying their penalties. Are you taking that, Tony? I think I'm gonna put it back He's really looking at the James the James Winston experience. Wow, it happened once it could happen again

Why'd the Reaper get so short? I feel like the opposite of the James Winston experience happened the first time they play Pittsburgh because he didn't throw two bone crushing I got the Bears You know what we already talked with the Niners window I got the Bears You know what we already talked with the Niners window Closed a four-point dog the Bears at the post coach firing spike Oh, he's good and TB at the offensive court as head coach down lost 22 pounds Patriots yikes, I'm throwing that right back I'm throwing that right back there on a buy

To penalties already I've only done this twice I've lost twice And you haven't paid any and you'll fit right in around the Wizard of Oz. I'd take the tin man They lion lion bangles that was me. We'll go back to you. You can decide in a second. So look at the lion You know, you know Got the jaguars. I Used to say Jaguars and now Mike Ryan called me out on it. So now I over I go the other way I'm like Jaguar Jaguar I'm putting that back. I don't even have to look what they're playing. I Got the golden helmet of life

No one is happy for you. I'm looking to get the swab helmet so that I can take that from you. The golden helmet of life. The golden helmet of life. The golden helmet of life. I've got the lions. I'll keep that. I don't know who they're playing. They're all against the Packers.

They're a three and a half point favor. Tonight! Who's Who game, Dan? Best game of the week. You have mentioned it's a Who's Who game and it is the Packers going to the Lions. I do not want to talk about that game. I do want to promote a couple of things that we've got coming up here. Is a Bengal a tiger? Yes. I will take the Cincinnati Bengals.

Woof. At the Cowboys. My ankles are five and a half Floyd favorites. Why did you have to ask us that? I wasn't sure. What did you think a Bengal was? I didn't really know the rules if it had to be a tiger. Like if it had to be a Detroit tiger, I would take a Detroit tiger.

Like the word tiger. Terrick Scoobel on the bomb on Tarek Scoob opening day April I had a hot take because you mentioned there's a NFL game tonight I think last night was one of the underratedly worst days of the sports calendar I got home from work and it was like there was 30 straight days of football prior to 50 straight days of all prior Thanksgiving and like Tuesday night there was like the ranking shows I was still kind of buzzing from the weekend. But then Wednesday night happened and there was no football.

There's no match-in, there's no QSA, there's nothing. There was nothing on last night for me and I was really sad. Jessica. It wasn't a nice break for you, Lakers Jess. Well this is this, but here's the thing. Jessica just articulated something that made me palpably sad last night on my television where I'm like, man, Lakers, LeBron, Miami

used to be something a little while ago. Where's my Maxxion? Because I'm not interested in 10 and 10 Miami Heat season that doesn't matter for 60 games. It made me wish we could get the Maxxion championship on a Tuesday or a Wednesday. If we could see Ohio and Miami play last night versus on Saturday, that would be, it's gonna be an awesome game I think between both of them. But I feel like it's gonna be overshadowed by all

the other games on Saturday. I just wish for the sake of the max and warm and fuzzies we could get it on a weeknight. That's funny because you said Miami and championship game and I got really confused for a moment because that doesn't happen. Okay but Florida Panthers can't even get on the show, and they're the defending Stanley Cup champions. We'll get to it. Okay. Did they play last night?

You say this, you say that we're gonna get to it, and I've gotta get to the Thursday Thunder, and I've also got to tell people what we've got going on this weekend, because Tony, you've got the MMA Hangout, has become very popular give people the information they need if they want to hang out with you on Saturday because you really could spend the whole weekend with our show if you wanted to and one of the things that I want to do over the coming month is I want to have a toy drive so I don't know

Tony if you can attach this to what you're doing I know I'm gonna attach it to what we're doing on Sunday I want anybody who's coming out to bring toys because every time we've done toy drives at this time of year, we are overwhelmed by our audience and then you can make some kids happy even though Jessica hates them. Absolutely, Dan. We're gonna be at Casa Tiki Live at 10 p.m.

And the cool thing about Casa Tiki is that it's not only a Tiki themed bar, but they do themes throughout the year. So right now, it's probably the best Christmas bar on the planet. There is no place better more decorated than Kazutiki It's called the miracle on Kaiocho Dan, you know, miracle 34th Street miracle on Kaiocho if you go It's gonna be the best coolest themed Christmas bar in Miami for sure. You can bring your toys We'll set them up in the back. We'll make sure to bring them home bring them back here But if you want to hang out with us UFC 310 a banger of a card front to back as

usual UFC doesn't miss with the with these yeah thank you with these kind of cards and we'll be there hanging out uh 10 p.m on Saturday if you're not in Miami check us out on YouTube Twitch Twitter all the different places you can stream. As part of what it is that I'd like to do over the month, okay, because I'm just thinking this out now as we talk, but the toy drive is something we are going to do in December, and so on Sunday we also have a watch party, and while I'm always telling you how appreciative I am for your appreciation, and how I'm always telling you that your support is the reason that we can do all of the things that we're doing. I'm asking you to bring in the form of appreciation, a toy as part of what it is we're doing and we'll thank you and we will spend time with you watching these

football games. It's what we're there to do. A lot of people get uncomfortable asking for photos but it's what we're there to do. So we want to have this relationship with you and we want that relationship to come with toys. And we want it to be in a Miami party on Calle Ocho where toys and children usually aren't. At a bar where this is not a child's play bar. This is an adult gathering. Rare art.

It's an adult gathering that you are having on Saturday night. And then you can spend time with us on Sunday too if you wanna spend time with our show. I meant for you. Thursday Thunder, Chris Cody. That is good work by you in a small window for inefficiencies and mistakes.

Rare are. Thursday Thunder, Chris. I like the idea of people just coming up to Dan with a toy randomly and like here Can I talk to you now? That's how it's gonna work. The exchange is gonna be that transactional bring me a toy I will tell you you got a jump rope. All right What do you want to talk about? I'll give you a sports take in exchange for a toy Thursday Thunder sponsored by DraftKings stay tuned cuz you're here all about what DraftKings has to offer all throughout the show

DraftKings the crown is yours Tony the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Tony, give it to us. Guys, I've been given the, thank you, Thursday Thunder by Mike Ryan. He has set this one up. Four-pick parlay, because three picks are too easy, Dan, as you noticed. Three-pick parlay is too easy. We haven't won one of these in a while. I was close the other day.

Okay, but I was close is the lament of the loser. You know there was an asteroid that passed us, very close by the way, 1.37 million miles. Yeah. You know there was an asteroid that passed us very close, by the way. 1.37 million miles away. Mike Ryan has had a good gambling year if you've been behind his Twitter paywall or his ex paywall. Alright, so the four-pick parlay starts with an anytime touchdown by David Montgomery. Knuckles, if you're paying attention at home. Second leg.

Jordan Love over 225 passing points. This is where the parlay gets a little spooky, Dan. We already passed Halloween, we're on to Christmas now, but this is spooky. Over three and a half receptions for Sam Laporta. A big Laporta game. He wasn't good in the last one. He's been a little streaky this year.

I love betting tight end overs. He's also the fourth leg of the parlay 40 yards over 40 yards for Sam Laporte. Izzy, what are you smiling about? What do you laugh at? It's just a weird thing to really be locked in on tight end overs every single week. Well, this is part of what it is that we're selling around here for our sugar debt. So three and a half receptions over 40 yards for Sam Laporta, David Montgomery, Anytime, Tutti and Jordan Love over 225. That gives you a nice plus 415 if you're keeping tabs at home for Thursday,

the 1st. What happened, Chris? Why did you make a face? The graphic on our screen says plus the lines have changed. And just like they do in real life, if you're in Vegas in the high rollers room, the odds change very quickly. That's plus 350. Okay. That just happened.

There was a lot of planning that went into all of that. My screenshot came in. We're gonna contract you. You guys got to get this right. It's not that hard. Sound effects. Chris, I would like for us to get to behind the bit, please, as part of our 20 years celebration, nostalgic as it is.

What is the topic matter on what it is we're presently doing here? Oh, Charles Barkley. Charles Barkley Bikini. All right, good time. So this was, I stuffed a tube sock in my, I'm revealing that for the first time Wow. Yeah I like it wasn't noticeable. Come on. Wow. I just need small to suck

Don Lebatard. While there's nothing official and conversations are still ongoing. Was that a fake Schefter? It was pretty good. I feel like there's legs. I tried at the beginning and then I lost confidence in it. Why? It was good.

Dan, how do you feel right now?

We can see the sweat. We're wondering, I'm playing sideline reporter here. How do you feel right now, Dan? I'm feeling unusually confident right now. I feel like I'm in a position of strength and I'm going to be able to turn the tables here shortly on Mr. Barkley. Alright, Charles, are you ready? This is a bet one year in the making.

And I get to see dad in a speedo in all his shame. In all his shame right now. Hey, I wanna apologize to South Florida right now. Charles, you ready to do this? I'm ready. Alright, here we go. Charles Barclay is making his way over to Dan Le, he is slowly pulling over.

Oh boy! Whoa! Dan Leventhor! Oh, that's concerning! Ha ha ha! Hold on, I'm not done yet. Hold on, hold on! I wanna interview Charles Barkley.

I've interviewed him a lot over the years. I want to interview him right now. Have I been fair to the heat? Charles, have you been fair to the heat? No! Charles! Is LeBron about to win more rings than you?

Yes! Charles is putting it back on! I can't believe it. By the way, just to set the scene, Dan has a picture of Charles on the back of his Speedo and it's glorious, a picture of Barclay. This is one of the most fun things I've ever done. Hey man, I love you to death, you know that.

There it is, right there. Look how happy, that's as happy as you'll ever see, screw God. It's the most fun day of my life. That made me wildly uncomfortable. Can you give us some context to that bit? I was really confident that LeBron would dominate J.J. Barea in the post. I feel like I had a position of strength.

I didn't think there was any circumstance under which the bet would end that way. I thought for sure the way that bet would end with Charles Barkley never calling us back because he'd lost the bet and he wasn't going to do this. It was the 2012 NBA final, so I think they had a bet on that. Of course, Dan took the heat. He was not going to take the Dallas Mavericks. 2010, 2010, first year.

2010, I'm sorry, yeah, 2010, first year. But now that I'm thinking about it, what a bold prediction by Barkley. Because everyone took the Heat, Barkley took the Mavericks, he ended up winning, we all ended up winning and losing at the exact same time. But Dan was feeling really good about this. Game two, the Heat are up like 20. Dwayne and LeBron are shadow boxing

and they went on to lose that game and then J.J. Barrera owned LeBron. I don't think he got any of the facts right on the details of what happened in that series. The end result is that's the end result, and I didn't think I would ever be in that position. Yeah, I tried to erase that image out of my head for many years, and now you just put it right back in.

So, yeah, it's gonna take another generation to get that out of there. Thank you. An interesting part about that is that was in the Clevelander, where our studios would later be built several years afterwards. The specific spot that Dan's doing that

is pretty much the control room for everything that we ended up creating out of there. That was a year long bit, a payoff in the making. Dan and Charles had an NBA finals bet and we basically had to wait till Charles was in town for the next deep heat playoff run so it could fit with his schedule. And that was a really good old timey radio bit, spectacular in its execution. It's always a good radio bit when you paint a vivid enough picture to have the audience

wish that they were there. And I think most of the people listening that day remember it and also wish that they were there for it. Didn't he have Charles Barkley on his butt? Yeah, yes he did. Charles Barkley, he had a picture of Charles Barkley on Speed, facing that direction. And yes, he was moving around to answer questions, basically. The whole interviewing Barkley, but not Barkley,

interviewing your butt was totally unnecessary. The best I could do is have my brother paint me to cover up all of the places, to distract a lot of optical illusions so that people wouldn't look at anything happening in my mid-region. As a recollection, it looks like a lot of optical illusions so that people wouldn't look at anything happening in my mid-region. As a recollection, it looks like a lot of fun. I will tell you in all honesty,

that's as scared as I've ever been. I didn't want to be in front of people in that way, and there were a lot of people there, and Stugats delighted in my discomfort. Plus, you left me alone with a microphone. Right, and you liked that part, too. We were terrified about that, I remember. He liked that part, too. were terrified about that. I remember.

He liked that part too. Stugatsa had to be our play-by-play guy because Dan could only do so much and Dan was being a real showman with the presentation there. We all enjoyed it. Stugatsa's voice was completely different back then. He was very young

back then. Now he's old, lungs filled with cigarette smoke. But yeah, he had a great time back then. There's no bad story, nothing that went wrong during this bit, no nightmare, no issues with flights and getting talent there. All the memories of that event are good. I mean, look at it.

It'd be ridiculous to remember anything other than a jovial time. Was there any preparation to get into that speedo? Was there a cleanse? There was some fasting involved, some juice cleansing. Yes, it didn't do enough good. But yes, I do think also, and this is something I'll only reveal here, pretty sure there's a tube sock in my speedo just to avoid any imprinting.

That's a heady play. Yes, according to sources. The old tube sock. Yes, a tube sock. I think Dan appreciated the year-long runway to prepare his body for this. There was certainly some waxing. How into the bit did you think Barkley was?

Greatest day of his life. He was pretty happy, yeah. He was pretty happy in our shame, but who doesn't like to be right? And usually when you get to be, you know, like he knew I was not wanting to look like that. So I threw as much distraction as I could at the situation. You think you distracted us.

We were all looking at the same thing. I know, I know, I know. It was a tube sock though. I don't think Charles, do you think Charles would have paid that bet? You think you distracted us. We were all looking at the same thing. I know, I know. It was a tube sock though. I don't think Charles... Do you think Charles would have paid that bet? I don't think Charles would have paid that bet. Are you saying he would have weaseled out of the bets? I think he would have. I would have weaseled out of the bet. I don't know about Barkley. I think Barkley would have delivered on that bet. It was content on the front end. It was content on the back end and it's still content today. How much did Charles Barkley enjoy the bit?

I mean, look, I I mean he's got one of those great smiles in all of entertainment and he couldn't keep it from flashing over his face. I mean the the photos of this are pretty ridiculous. In a nutshell, if you were to encapsulate just a handful of images from our show, I'd like that one, I'd sack that one right up there to describe what it is that we're doing. Charles laughing as he's pointing to Dan's backside as he wears a speedo with Barclay's face on it. That was great stuff. Dan is questioning whether or not he would do it.

Yeah, I don't think he would have done that. I'm not gonna be the guy who says that. I'm not saying about that. Listen, I'm trying to get Charles back in our good graces. I don't think I've seen Charles since we did that event. I don't know what's going on, but I'm not gonna be the guy that since Charles would, you know, ditch on a bet.

He wouldn't do that. Speedo man, speedo man, Barclays picture right on his can, packs it in nice and tight. I wish I lost my sight. Look out, Dan is the speedo man. Howdy folks, it's Mike.
